The door opened and he saw Ning Zhenan and Wang Xiulan. Bai Yutian quickly stepped forward and saluted: "My nephew has met the third uncle and the third aunt."
Ning Zhenan spread a bitter smile on half of his face and said with some embarrassment: "My dear nephew, can you let your third aunt stay with you for a while to avoid the limelight?"
"Third uncle, where are you talking about? I was planning to invite you tomorrow!" Bai Yutian welcomed the two of them into the house and closed the door. He saw that the two of them looked lazy, looked bad, and had several scratches on their clothes. There were still some blood stains on the side of the damaged wound, as if he had just fought with someone. He asked in a low voice: "Third uncle, did the people from Qinglong Hall find Lan Keshan?"
Ning Zhenan told the truth bluntly: "To be honest with my nephew, not long after I returned home, those people from Qinglong Hall came to look for me. Fortunately, your third aunt was not at home at the time. Wouldn't it be troublesome?"
"It's okay." Bai Yutian led Ning Zhenan and his wife towards the inner courtyard.
After entering the front yard, Bai Yutian introduced Ning Zhenan and his wife to everyone, then introduced everyone to Ning Zhenan and his wife one by one, and politely allowed them to sit down.
Qin Haoming said to Ning Zhenan: "Ning Zhenan, are you familiar with the affairs in Qinglong Hall?"
Ning Zhen'an took the tea from Zhang Yan'er. The tea was not very hot. He drank it in one breath and replied: "He Zhencun has never shown his true identity since he took over as the master of Qinglong Hall for more than ten years. All matters of Qinglong Hall, big and small, are I have entrusted Qu Wenfeng to take care of it, and I will help from the side. To say that I am not familiar with it is hard to explain."
Master Mingzhi said: "Ning Zhen'an, if you hold the Qinglong Order, can you replace He Zhencun in taking charge of the Qinglong Hall?"
Ning Zhenan replied: "Mr. Li, Qin Haoming was once the master of the White Tiger Hall. He knows that, and meeting the Qinglong Order is like meeting the master. But I am being hunted by the Qinglong Hall. If I don't have a good opportunity, I can't do it." I'm afraid it will be difficult to win people's trust if you hold the Qinglong Order."
Hu Yiqiu asked: "Ning Zhenan, is the Green Dragon Order on He Zhencun's body?"
Ning Zhenan replied: "After Qu Wenfeng died, He Zhencun couldn't find a suitable person to take charge of Qinglong Hall, so he took the initiative to show up, take back the Qinglong Order, and manage Qinglong Hall himself."
Master Mingzhi answered: "If we depose He Zhencun now and let you take charge of the Qinglong Order, what kind of opportunity can you create with your current situation to win the trust of the remnants of the Qinglong Hall?"
Ning Zhenan said: "Mr. Li, I wonder why you want me to take charge of Qinglong Hall?"
Bai Yutian said: "Third uncle, my family does not speak the same language. Our thoughts are quite straightforward. We want to eradicate the Dragon Slaying Association and eliminate harm to the martial arts world. After deposing He Zhencun, I want you to take charge of Qinglong Hall and gather all the remnants of Qinglong Hall. , rob the tribute silver escorted by the Longwei Escort. We can also completely eliminate the forces of the Dragon Slayer Society south of the Yangtze River, once and for all, without leaving any future troubles."
Ning Zhenan looked around and said to Bai Yutian: "My dear nephew, the Dragon Slaying Association initially relied on the imperial court. It has three walls and four elephants. It is huge in power and has inextricable interests entangled with the government. If there is no big shot in the court, I will help you. Back it up, even if you destroy the Qinglong Hall, you may not be able to completely eradicate the Dragon Slaying Society, and you may make the same mistakes as your father did back then, Qin Haoming should be very clear about this."
Bai Yutian asked: "Why?"
Qin Haoming said: "The reason why your father was successfully framed in that unjust, false and wrong case that everyone can understand was because the Jianghu and the court came together and worked together."
Why did the court want to harm his father Bai Yu? Bai Yutian was a little confused and asked: "Brother, my father has never been against the court. Why does the court want to frame my father?"
Qin Haoming replied: "The reason why the imperial court wants to eradicate your father is because your father's reputation is too great. The imperial court is afraid that your father will have inflated desires in the future, use force to break the ban, gather people to make trouble, and cause trouble, so they came to strike first. "
Bai Yutian said: "Then I want to destroy the Dragon Slayer Association, why should I rely on the big shots in the court?"
Ning Zhenan replied: "My dear nephew, if you can single-handedly eradicate the Dragon Slayer Guild, then your prestige will be much higher than that of your father. How can the court trust you! As long as the Dragon Slayer Guild colludes with the officials of the Central Government, Well, you will become the enemy of the imperial court, and you can’t even protect yourself, so what can you do to eradicate the Dragon Slayer Society.”
Although Bai Yutian knew nothing about politics, he had read some poems and books, so he knew a little about weighing pros and cons, so he asked, "What is a big shot in the court?"
Qin Haoming continued: "I heard that there is a factional dispute in the imperial court. One side is led by Lu Yijian, Gao Ruona and others, and the other is led by Fan Zhongyan, Yu Jing, Yin Zhu, Ouyang Xiu and others. They are incompatible with each other. The Dragon Slayer Society is attached to Lu Yijian , Gao Ruona and others, if you want to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society, you must make good friends with Fan Zhongyan and others to eliminate the court's taboo against you."
Bai Yutian was a villager in the mountains. He had never had any dealings with the government once or twice, and he knew nothing about the political affairs of the DPRK and China. So he asked, "Who is Fan Zhongyan?"
Qin Haoming smiled bitterly and said, "Junior brother, I really can't answer this for you. You'd better ask other people."
Bai Yutian cast a very friendly look at Master Mingzhi, hoping to get an answer.
Master Mingzhi took a deep breath and said: "Fan Zhongyan has been an official for twenty years. He has been upright, upright and upright, and has an awe-inspiring mission to serve the people. What about building and defending sea weirs, providing disaster relief to the people, controlling floods in Suzhou, and promoting religion? He ran a school and did a lot of good things. For the people of the Song Dynasty, he was really a man of action. Especially the words "die with a voice and live without silence" are even more upright and upright, and the road to being a righteous person in the world begins. It was established publicly and became a model for scholar-bureaucrats."
Bai Yutian said: "Such a good person, it must be a good thing to be attached to him. I wonder what position he currently holds?"
Ning Zhen'an replied: "I heard that Li Yuanhao in the northwest broke away from us in the Song Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor and established the Xia Kingdom. There was a huge uproar. Due to tight border affairs in the court, His Majesty the Emperor recalled Fan Zhongyan from Yuezhou to the capital because of his popularity. Eighty-nine asked him to go to the northwest to defend against the enemy."
Bai Yutian was extremely happy when he heard that Fan Zhongyan would most likely go to the northwest to defend against the enemy, because his beloved Cui Yingying was in the northwest. He asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, is Master Fan Zhongyan's martial arts very high?"
Seeing that Bai Yutian looked like an idiot, Master Mingzhi laughed secretly in his heart and replied: "Let me ask you, Qin Emperor and Han Wu, how are their civil and martial arts?"
Bai Yutian saw the contemptuous smile on Master Mingzhi's face, and felt a little bitter in his heart. He reluctantly replied: "These two big men know something more or less. The First Emperor, a dwarf, swept away Liuhe and created a feudal centralized county. The county system, unified weights and measures, and high martial arts will be remembered forever. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty single-handedly defeated the Huns until they cried for their fathers and mothers. From then on, China had a Han nation, and its martial arts was so great that few people could match it."
Master Mingzhi said: "If these two people go to the rivers and lakes to hang out, will their martial arts be high?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "Kick two of them away with one kick, and they all fly back to the west on a crane."
Master Mingzhi said: "It is said that those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern others. What important people want is a bright brain, not a strong arm. Even the imperial court dared to send Fan Zhongyan to the northwest to manage the army and defend the enemy. He If his martial arts were not good, wouldn't it be a great misfortune for the Song Dynasty?"
Zhang Yan'er heard Wang Xiulan's stomach growling slightly, walked to Bai Yutian, pulled his sleeves, and whispered: "Your third uncle and the others didn't seem to have lunch, why don't you ask ask?"
Bai Yutian was too immersed in the conversation to pay attention to these things. After listening to Zhang Yan'er's words, he calmed down and listened. Ning Zhen'an's stomach really made a "gurgling" sound. He smiled slightly at Zhang Yan'er and asked Ning Zhen'an and his wife. Said: "Third uncle, third aunt, have you had lunch?"
Ning Zhenan smiled seductively and replied: "I was chased all the way from Lanke Mountain to the outside of the city. I was so busy running for my life and dodging all the way that I really didn't have time to pay attention."
"Then just wait a moment and I'll get it for you right now." Bai Yutian walked towards the kitchen, with Zhang Yan'er following closely behind.
After leaving the front yard, Zhang Yaner walked beside Bai Yutian and said as he walked: "Brother Bai, your third uncle betrayed the whereabouts of your parents back then. How come you act like nothing is wrong when you see them?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "My third uncle was forced to be a rogue when he did that. I can't hold a grudge against him. Besides, for most people, friendship is less important than family affection. It's human nature. Who wants to see his wife and children suffer innocently?" If you implicate others, you will die in vain in front of yourself.”
Zhang Yaner asked in a low voice: "Then in the future, if you are a rogue, will you abandon friendship for the sake of family affection?"
Bai Yutian stopped, smiled bitterly, and replied: "Family love lies in letting go, and friendship lies in trust. I may not do that. My master said that people from Chunyang Clan should live an open life, with a heart full of If you are upright, even if your wife dies, you can commit suicide for love, but you must not accept any threats or let others manipulate you."
Zhang Yan'er felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and whispered: "Then aren't you a bad person?"
Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "From the moment I left Kuanglu Mountain, I never thought that I would be a good person, but I have been working hard to be a good person and have never despaired. As for what is a good person and what is a bad person, It’s hard to explain clearly. To whom I help, I am a good person; to whom I harm, I am a bad person. I only hope that in this life, in the hearts of my family and friends, I can be a good person, with love and without mercy. hatred."
Zhang Yaner said: "People are in the world, and they can't help themselves. It's very difficult to be a really good person."
Bai Yutian said: "Don't eat too much, don't say too much, don't do too much, be cautious in everything, don't wantonly pursue fame and fortune, and do your best to compare your heart with your heart. I think it shouldn't be too far off."
Zhang Yan'er smiled and said: "But your decision to become an enemy of the Dragon Slayer Association is a violation of the principle of not overdoing things. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be a really good person. Some of those bad people are ruthless, some are retaliatory, and they will do anything for their own interests. Don’t go to extremes, you have to be careful.”
Bai Yutian smiled slightly and said, "Okay! Just listen to Miss Zhang Yan'er." He strode into the backyard, crossed the threshold of the kitchen, walked to the stove, and quickly fiddled with the spatula.
