As soon as this question came out, Ji Cangran's hand holding the cup suddenly froze in mid-air, but this moment of loss of concentration was fleeting. Only Wei Jing, who had been paying attention to Ji Cangran, noticed this subtle change, and saw him take a sip of tea and continue. : "This man was a powerful figure in the martial arts world decades ago. Since Master Wei Er is interested in these past events, I would also like to hear your opinions on this man."
At this time, Yao Yunyang, who had been busy eating, suddenly said: "This person is just a rough man in the world. He just has some luck. He has to meet noble people to teach him secrets, so that he can make waves in the world in the future. As for the fact that he later became enemies of various martial arts sects, it doesn't matter. That’s easy to say, but he’s just another devil who fell under the temptation of power.”
Yanjiang Chengdao: "But as far as Yan knows, Jiang Zhaojun single-handedly founded Fengyun Village when he was young, and he and a group of brothers helped the poor in Xiangyang. He did many chivalrous and righteous deeds. Yan thinks that Jiang Zhaojun's life cannot be just ‘Devil’ can be summed up in two words.”
Ji Cangran also agreed: "What Brother Yan said is absolutely true. Jiang Zhaojun has had both bad and bad reputations throughout his life. It is really difficult to judge between a few words."
Yanjiang City bowed his hand and expressed his gratitude.
Seeing that Ji Cangran agreed with what Yanjiangcheng said, Yao Yunyang felt unhappy in his heart and said unconvinced: "Jiang Zhaojun did some good deeds when he was young. That may be true, but later he fell into the devil's path, which means that this is his nature. If he If you are truly a hero, you should be mentally resolute, instead of changing your temperament and turning into a demon when encountering a slight setback."
Yu Junyan took a sip of tea and sneered at the same time: "My wife was humiliated and died miserably. Is this considered a 'little setback'? Head Yao has extraordinary magnanimity. If it were Head Yao who encountered that 'little setback', he would certainly be able to The clouds are calm and the wind is gentle, I laugh it off, I admire you!"
Although Yu Junyan spoke for Jiang Zhaojun, Wei Jing could not see that he really thought Jiang Zhaojun had extenuating circumstances, or that he was just deliberately going against Yao Yunyang.
Yao Yunyang raised his eyebrows and was about to retort when Xiao Yao asked quickly: "But I don't know what Sima Sect Leader thinks of this person?"
Sect Master Sima also picked up the topic with interest and said: "From what I see, since Jiang Zhaojun is the leader of the Fengyun Alliance and has hundreds of people under his command, what he does is no longer just his personal matter, but the responsibility of the party." Look at the impact he has on the people around him."
Sect Leader Sima paused and continued: "I also heard about his chivalrous deeds in Xiangyang in the early years. Fengyun Village is indeed a righteous thieves praised by everyone in the local residents. It can be seen that their good deeds are indeed remembered by many people. Later Jiang Zhaojun He became a murderous demon, as many people have pointed out. This is a trick of fate, not his nature. It can only be said that he has merits and demerits. His crimes deserve to be punished, but his feelings are merciful. In any case, I am right Jiang Zhaojun is still respectful."
Wei Jing was still paying attention to Ji Cangran's expression at this time, but he saw that he was calm and composed, nodding and listening to everyone express their opinions, as if Jiang Zhaojun and Fengyun Alliance were just past events that had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Yao also said: "I heard that Jiang Zhaojun voluntarily died under the sword of Daxia Li at the last moment. According to what the younger generation has seen, Jiang Zhaojun actually has a good conscience, but he was forced by the current situation. He made mistakes again and again, and finally succeeded It is difficult to recover from overflowing water, and it is difficult to rein in the precipice.”
Yao Yunyang disagreed and said, "If he hadn't gone on a killing spree on impulse, why would he have to rein in the situation later?"
Yu Junyan said: "It is not easy to judge his merits and demerits. Now that things have changed, future generations can no longer tell how many people the Fengyun League rescued and how many people they killed or injured." In comparison, according to Yu's guess, I'm afraid it killed more people."
Ji Cangran also said at this time: "From what I can see, Jiang Zhaojun was able to gather all the heretical forces in the rivers and lakes into an alliance. It is a rare feat. It is a pity that after the establishment of the Fengyun Alliance, most of his energy was spent on opposing the right path. If If they can work hand in hand with each other and coexist peacefully, the disputes in the rivers and lakes will be reduced a lot, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
Wei Jing thought to himself that Ji Cangran's words were probably because of his status as the "Master of the Tianji Pavilion" and to maintain his image of "aiming to reduce martial arts disputes."
Sect Master Sima stroked his beard and said: "It would be great if the Fengyun Alliance could follow what Pavilion Master Ji said and turn the war with the righteous way of the Central Plains into friendship. But at that time, these right-wingers could work together to fight against the enemy because they had a common enemy. , if they had no quarrel with Zhengdao in the past, it would probably be difficult for them to form an alliance."
Ji Cangran just nodded lightly and said, "That's true."
At this time, everyone present expressed their opinions one by one. Wei Jing thought that according to what Jiang Qiyuan said at the time, in addition to Jiang Zhaojun and his forces, the actions of Zhongyuan Zhengdao also played an important role in the affairs of the Fengyun Alliance, and even many unnecessary disputes were the cause. For these decent people, however, today everyone deliberately avoids talking about it. This is because the Diancang Sect and the Huashan Sect were both among them back then, and the two leaders did not want to discuss the merits and demerits of the predecessors of the two sects.
Yu Junyan sighed: "Not to mention whether Jiang Zhaojun is right or wrong, he can single-handedly lead the heroes to fight against the righteous way of the Central Plains. Such courage and courage are really admirable. If it weren't for his indiscriminate killing and bloodthirsty later, he would not be tolerated in the world. , Yu wants to make friends with this extraordinary hero."
Yanjiang City said: "In addition to Jiang Zhaojun himself, he also has many capable people and strangers, such as the "Tianguan Fulong" who single-handedly selected the leader of Qingcheng to return home, and later secretly planned with Li Daxia , Shen Youlan, the 'Floating Gentleman' who worked together to disintegrate the Fengyun Alliance, they are all rare talents, and since these heroic men are willing to follow him wholeheartedly, it is obvious that Jiang Zhaojun is not just a reckless person who accidentally struck up."
As soon as Yan Jiangcheng finished speaking, Lou Yongyue put her hands on her hands and sighed: "You two hit the right note, you really said what I am thinking, I would like to have a drink with Brother Yan, the leader!"
After taking the wine glass and drinking it down in one gulp, Yu Junyan and Yanjiang City immediately returned the toast. When Wei Jing saw Lou Yongyue, who usually seldom talked, suddenly behaved like this, he felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't explain why for the moment. .
This time the two factions gathered together. Ever since the Huashan faction invited Ji Canran to help him, Yao Yunyang had always felt that the Tianji Pavilion favored one over the other. It was clear that the Diancang faction was one of the first three factions to respond to "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors", but the Tianji Pavilion seemed to They paid even more attention to the Huashan Sect. Tonight, Ji Cangran and Lou Yongyue agreed with what Jun Yan and Yan Jiangcheng said, and Yao Yunyang was a person with a narrow mind.
Therefore, Lou Yongyue's toast just now made him even more jealous. He couldn't help but ask provocatively: "So, the Huashan Sect does not care about past suspicions and has high regard for Jiang Zhaojun?"
Yanjiang City has always been unwilling to cause further discord between the two factions, so he was more cautious in his responses, and just said lightly: "Master Yao's words are serious, and Yan can't be said to have high regard for Jiang Zhaojun. It's just that everyone happened to be talking about this person. Yan Let’s just talk about what is extraordinary about him. Similarly, if we want to talk about what evil deeds he did and why he is not tolerated in the world, there must be a lot to say about his deeds in this regard.”
Yao Yunyang hit a soft nail, and suddenly his resentment had nowhere to go, so he just kept silent and did not express his opinion.
At this time, Sect Master Sima suddenly asked: "Master Ji Pavilion, if you and Jiang Zhaojun had changed places, how would you have dealt with the righteous way of the Central Plains back then?"
Seeing the sect leader pointing the finger at Ji Cangran, Wei Jing also looked at Ji Cangran and listened attentively.
But Yao Yunyang had just seen Tianji Pavilion's frequent displays of goodwill towards the Huashan faction, and he was already angry in his heart. He unconsciously thought: "If you are good with Tianji Pavilion, then I won't win over people from the Sima family?"
As soon as he thought of this, Yao Yunyang echoed: "This is a wonderful question from Sect Master Sima! Master Ji Pavilion is now in charge of Tianji Pavilion, and even holds an annual "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Tibet" meeting, inviting heroes from all over the world to participate in the grand event. This matter has spread throughout the world Jianghu has long been a major event that everyone in the martial arts world knows, so Pavilion Master Ji can be called the master of one party, and Yao also wants to know how Pavilion Master Ji will choose?"
Before Ji Cangran could answer, Lou Yongyue said first: "Although Jiang Zhaojun did some chivalrous and righteous deeds in his early years, he is still a murderous tyrant. Now that the world has changed, many things have been lost. How can the master of the pavilion change places with him?" And where?"
Sect Leader Sima said: "Jiang Zhaojun was the leader of Fengyun Alliance back then, just like Pavilion Master Ji now leads Tianji Pavilion. Since Pavilion Ji can propose "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors" to eliminate martial arts disputes, I thought, maybe Pavilion Ji will Can we have a good strategy to solve the predicament of the Fengyun Alliance back then?"
Pavilion Master Ji stretched out his hand to stop Lou Yongyue and said with a smile: "No problem, this is an interesting question for Sect Master Sima. Besides, Chief Yao seems to be quite curious too. Let Ji think about it..."
He frowned slightly and thought again and again. Just as everyone was about to listen to his answer, he smiled bitterly and said: "Faced with the dispute between the murderer of his wife and the decent heretics, Ji thought about it, but he also didn't think of anything better. This method will make you laugh."
However, Mo Li was suspicious. Just looking at his expression, it was clear that he had some concerns in his heart. If he didn't say it now, would it be difficult to say it, or could he not say it?
