Chapter 394: You are all rebels
Lin Hengshan looked at the young scholar opposite and said calmly: "Although Helianbao is affiliated with the Helian family, it has long been independent. Although it is a vassal of Luoye County, it is difficult to respect the orders of the county magistrate. The position of the town and village Isn’t it considered treason to seize the power of a county?”
The general meaning is: Although Helianbao is affiliated to the Helian family in Yunxi, the branches of your big family have long been in charge of their own affairs. As a force in Luoye City, he has not implemented the decree of the county magistrate. Listen to the tune but not the propaganda. It is obviously a village-level force, but it enjoys the standard of a local emperor. Isn't this considered rebellion?
As soon as these words came out, Helian Haixin was unable to refute. Even Ji Shenfu secretly praised Lin Hengshan, an old fox, who indeed became more and more demonic as he got older. No one could hold him back if he became shameless.
Helian Haixin's cheeks turned red, not only because of the fine wine he had just drank but also because he was aroused by the old man's words. He hesitated for a while, held back a sentence, and asked in a deep voice: "According to the old man, who is passing through Luoye County today?" How many loyal ministers and good generals are there?"
Obviously, young scholars also have difficulties. Luo Yun Kingdom itself is controlled by martial arts families and various sects. The forces of all parties are intertwined with each other, all for the benefit of the family or the sect they represent. There are indeed few people who are truly loyal to the imperial court.
Even though Helian Haixin himself was loyal to the imperial court rather than Luo Yunzong in his heart, he was exercising his duties as the county inspector this time to preserve the status of his Helian family! In the words of the nobles in the court, how can the country be prosperous if aristocratic families are not prosperous?
Lin Hengshan sneered twice, touched his short beard under his chin and said slowly: "Loyal minister? Good general? Haha... In Lin's eyes, you are all rebellious!"
When Ji Shenfu heard this, he changed his smiling expression and asked coldly: "Isn't General Lin too old and drunk?"
"Oh? Really? Mr. Ji, if I remember correctly, you belong to the Ji family, one of the six major families of Luo Yun Kingdom! We sent 30,000 men to dig canals for three years to form a pond, named Yunxiao! Sure enough, you Ji is the only one who can do such a big thing. Only a person from this family can think of it, it is really precious!" Lin Hengshan said with a smile.
Ji Shenfu had a gloomy look on his face. He had indeed put a lot of thought into building this huge Yunxiao Pond, and even built nearly 30,000 people into it. Today, the world is full of spiritual energy, and there are strange beasts in all the lakes and rivers. If these 30,000 human lives were not filled in, how could there be such a flourishing of monsters in the lake?
"Those thirty thousand are just slaves, how can they be said to be strong men?" Ji Shenfu naturally couldn't admit this matter, so he had to quibble.
"Slaves? Where do slaves come from? Since Luoye County was established, has it been able to fight with neighboring countries? Or expand its territory? Does Lord Ji call the naturalized residents of the county slaves?" the old man said sarcastically.
The Lord Prime Minister was speechless for a moment. Those 30,000 people were indeed the people he had collected by asking Ji Rentu to lead troops to conquer the small strongholds in the county. These people had lived in Luoye County for generations, so they could be regarded as native citizens of the county.
"The Ji family, a remnant of the former Western Region Kingdom, moved here in the 350th year of the Yunxiao calendar and lived in the Yunxiao Imperial Capital for generations. In the 477th year of the Yunxiao calendar, she secretly communicated with Song Linfa, the elder deacon of the Luo Yun Sect, and opened the thirteenth north gate of the Yunxiao Imperial Capital! The Yunxiao Emperor's capital was destroyed, and after the founding of the Luo Yun Kingdom, the six major Luo Yun families were awarded the title of Luo Yun for their contribution to the city." Lin Hengshan said calmly, but with his words, the atmosphere in the room still reached a freezing point.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency? My Ji family has contributed a lot to the city, but now we are here. This shows that my Ji family is a very loyal minister!" Ji Shenfu, who was sitting at the top, asked in a deep voice.
With just a shout, the internal energy shock wave formed by the sound wave spread around, causing the plates and porcelain on everyone's tables to shatter.
Li Chengqian's figure appeared behind Lin Hengshan just as the Lord Commander spoke. The invisible shock wave of internal energy was blocked by an invisible force within a foot of the two of them, making the shock wave unable to move. Half an inch of strength.
On the other side, Helian Haixin sighed in his heart: Sure enough, this banquet could not be held in peace. He used his inner energy to block the shock wave.
"Haha, loyal minister? Since then, the Ji family has indeed become more valuable than can be said. How could the Luo Yun Sect be sent to various counties and places with a decree from the Luo Yun Sect, and set rules that the Ji family will not be allowed to enter the capital of Luo Yun for generations, and their descendants will not be allowed to live in the capital of Luo Yun for generations. !" At this point, the old man laughed heartily, and just when Ji Shen was about to explode again with his horse, he added lightly:
"It's very difficult for Luo Yunzong to guard against a family of loyal ministers like this!"
The county magistrate, who was dressed as a scholar, was looking at Lin Hengshan angrily. It must be said that the old man's sharp words had indeed torn Ji's last fig leaf into pieces. Among the six major families, the Ji family uses the women in the family as a means to continuously marry into the powerful figures of the Luo Yunzong. Just like the one Lin Hengshan mentioned just now who is in good terms with the elder deacon Song Linfa will become a married woman of the Ji family. Later she became the elder's concubine.
It's not that Ji's men have no useful talents. As Lin Hengshan said, Luo Yunzong did not break his promise after establishing Luo Yun Kingdom and indeed gave Ji the status of the six major families. However, Luo Yunzong did an extremely good job in "dedicating the city" to Ji. The counties of Luoyun State below the clan were given idle positions, but they were not allowed to enter the capital for life.
Obviously Luo Yunzong also wanted to prevent the slightest mistake and learn from the lessons of the Yunxiao Empire. But this was devastating to the Ji family. Far away from the center of power, how long can these six major families prosper? Obviously, decline has become inevitable.
Fortunately, the head of the Ji family is also a heroic figure of the generation. Since the Ji family has not been allowed to enter the capital for generations, then the daughter married by the Ji family can always do it, right? Therefore, the development path of Ji's daughters has become an important means for Ji's to maintain the six major families.
…
Seeing Ji Shen Fuyin's sullen face and not saying much, Lin Hengshan turned to stare at Helian Haixin and said calmly: "As for the Helian family, they are short-sighted and ownerless, greedy for profit and forgetful of justice. Although they are the leader of one party, they are It’s hard to become a noble family!”
When the young scholar heard this comment, he naturally stopped doing it, but just as he was about to have an attack, he saw the enchanting woman who came in with her, tapping her fingers on the tabletop of her desk as if absentmindedly.
In fact, when Yin Renfang just came in, Helian Haixin noticed this woman, but he just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, just when he was about to take action, he felt a vague feeling. The sense of crisis instantly locked onto him.
He resisted the urge to use his inner strength to protect his whole body. He knew that if he took action rashly, the other party would fight back immediately, and the young man had a vague feeling that it would be difficult for him to take advantage.
Lin Hengshan looked at the young man who dared to be angry but dared not speak, and said with some pity: "Ten years ago, Luo Yunguo was born one day. At the age of only fourteen, he entered martial arts through calligraphy and achieved the level of a chivalrous man! This is At that time, it was a major event that shocked the world of martial arts. The hero was named Yun Sheng, which shows that people in the world had high hopes for this man!"
As he said that, the old man glanced at Helian Haixin, and the young scholar knew clearly that the person he was talking about was him. He frowned and continued to listen.
"Later, the Luo Yun Sect wanted to accept him as a true disciple. At that time, the head of the Helian family was happy. After all, once he entered the Luo Yun Sect, the entire Helian family would also have a backer. If he becomes an elder in a few decades, then Helian will The family’s minimum status is above that of the Ji family.”
Hearing that Ji Shenfu, who was sitting above the Ji family, was not upset. He glanced at the young scholar, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. Obviously he also knew the origin of the matter. After all, he was also involved back then. one of those.
Lin Hengshan shook his head and said with emotion: "Unfortunately, things in the world are not just about grudges and grudges, but also intrigues! We are all eight sects, and seeing a generation of geniuses fall into the hands of Luo Yun, naturally the other seven sects will not Like you can see, because it is very likely that many years later, you will train yourself to be a master who is difficult to deal with!"
When Helian Haixin heard this, his heart moved, and he faintly noticed something. He frowned and asked, "You mean, they plotted against me? But no one has come to hurt me in these years!"
The old man chuckled and said with a smile: "You are Helian Yun Sheng. Anyone who wants to destroy you will have to bear the infamy of the world. These guys who cherish feathers will naturally not do such low-level things. They first contacted He married the head of the Helian family, your father Helian Jing, and promised to accept you as the head’s direct disciple!”
"The direct disciple of the headmaster!" Helian Haixin's eyes widened. His father had never told him about such a thing, and even before today, he knew nothing about it.
You must know that today's sects, as long as they have a certain inheritance, will divide their disciples and teach them differently according to their strength and qualifications. The status of sect disciples, from low to high, is divided into: outer disciples, inner disciples, true disciples, and direct disciples.
Among them, the outer sect disciples are the outermost component of the sect disciples and are also the largest in number. A large number of outer sect disciples in famous sects do not know martial arts, but only use their name to make it easier to travel in the world. Just like it turns out that the leader of Tiexin Village, Helian Tiexin, assumed the identity of an outer disciple of Luo Yun Sect. It doesn't mean that Luo Yunzong will stand up for you if you are bullied. This is just too much. In fact, being an outer disciple is just a status symbol, and it only proves that Luo Yunzong knows that there is a person like you in the world!
On the higher level are the inner sect disciples. The inner sect disciples are the cornerstone of the sect's heritage, and their quantity and quality are important basis for measuring the sect's heritage. Most of the inner sect disciples are promoted from the outer sect disciples. All outer sect disciples who have achieved success in practicing the sect's basic skills will enter the inner sect and be trained intensively. Compared with the extensive management of the outer sect, the training of disciples of the inner sect shows the differences of each sect. Therefore, for some sects with profound foundations, the inner disciples must be much stronger.
The inner disciples at the top are the true disciples. Generally, only the second-rate sects and above can be called true disciples. Like ordinary third-rate sects, there are no true disciples at all. The so-called true inheritance means that you can learn the essence of the martial arts of the sect, which is often some extremely powerful or famous skills or martial arts. True disciples not only need extremely high martial arts potential, but also loyalty! Generally in a sect, the true disciples are equivalent to the status of the sect elders. Even if their martial arts skills are not as good as those of the elders, in times of danger, the sect will give priority to taking care of these true disciples. Of course, the number of true disciples is also very small. Generally, even among the eight sects, there are no more than ten.
A direct disciple is also called a direct disciple of the headmaster or a direct disciple of the headmaster. A peerless genius that only a first-class sect can possess! Every direct disciple is an outstanding figure in the world and a reserve attacker at the pinnacle of martial arts. At the same time, he is also a symbol of status in the sect. Once he is confirmed as a direct disciple, it will be announced to the world that this person will be the next leader in the future. ! If the master is absent, or is closed to life and death, his direct disciple will take over the position of master, which shows his high status. The entire sect can only have one direct disciple, but of course it doesn't have to be one.
…
Lin Hengshang looked at the surprised young scholar, nodded and said: "Yes! A direct disciple! He is still from the Eight Great Sects, tsk tsk, he wouldn't change even if he gave it to an emperor! So the head of the Helian family was shaken. In front of his direct disciples, The temptation of a true disciple is simply not worth mentioning."
"Just when the head of the Helian family was about to agree, they put forward conditions." The old man paused.
"What conditions did they put forward?" Helian Haixi asked in confusion, as if he had guessed something.
"The condition they gave is to confirm your talent. They agreed with the Helian family head that in two years, you will be allowed to compete with one of their true disciples. If you win, you will be their true disciple!" Lin Hengshan added.
For a moment, the figure of the young man appeared in Helian Haixin's mind. He was wearing a pair of straw sandals, with his legs and feet linked together, like a young man who had just gone into the water to fish. However, that young man had basically no power to fight back in front of him.
The scholarly young man smiled casually and murmured: "If I don't know enough about Kung Fu, I won't lose the battle unjustly!"
Lin Hengshan smiled and nodded: "Of course it's not unfair! If that man had fought with you at the age of fourteen, the outcome would still be 50-50 between you two. But after two years of guidance from the eight sects, he can't beat you anymore. , do you think that the eight major sects are just for a living?"
Helian Haixin frowned and said, "You mean they used this method to hold me back for two years?"
The old man frowned slightly, his face was very solemn, and he said slowly: "The age of fourteen to sixteen is a very important two years for a warrior!"
Hearing these words, Helian Haixin and Ji Shen didn't react at all. Li Chengqian and Qingzhu, who were sitting at the bottom, couldn't help but cast their eyes on Lin Hengshan. Apparently they heard something, and their expressions changed continuously. , it took a few breaths for the two of them to finally adjust...
But all this was not noticed by others. After all, what Lin Hengshan said at this time had attracted the attention of most people present.
"The Helian family fell into the trap of others in such a short period of time. Although it is sad, it is not pitiful. Although it cannot be fought, it is lamentable! However, the reason can be summarized in eight words: the selfish interests of the family are preserved, and the great interests of the family and the country are lost! "
Helian Haixin's face turned a little pale. He glanced sideways at Ji Shenfu, who was sitting at the top, and saw that the other party did not refute. The young man knew that what the old man in front of him said was true. And based on my understanding of my father, this evaluation is indeed consistent.
When Lin Hengshan saw that neither of them was talking, he smiled slightly and asked calmly: "You asked me where my loyal ministers and good generals are? I don't know, but if I say this, you are all a rebellious thief!"
