Twenty-eight beauties have a body as soft as a stick, and a sword at their waists to kill ordinary people.
Although there are no dead heads, secretly the bones of the emperor are withered.
After the mandarin ducks chased each other and rejoiced, Bai Yutian thought of this warning poem, smiled in his heart, hugged Cui Yingying with disapproval and fell asleep, welcoming the bright light outside the window.
There was a knock on the door. The two of them got dressed, got up, and combed their hair. They opened the door to greet Dong Xiaowan's unpleasant face. They walked dejectedly behind Ah Xing, Ah Zhu, Shi Qinghua and others towards the lobby of the inn. .
It’s time to think about a bowl of millet porridge or a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach. After all, it was a long night last night. I was full of anger during the night when I was unhappy, and I was filled with joy during the night when I was happy. If I have consumed it, just treat it as Replenish.
Bai Yutian saw that the women in front of him didn't like rouge but love weapons. He was worried about his sword, so he took a side road halfway and went back to his room to get the sword. Fortunately, the sword was well hidden and no one discovered it. Otherwise, I would have regretted it to death, and might even have to make a vow that I would never indulge in pleasure again in this life.
Entering the lobby, men and women sat at two tables. Everything was as usual, except for Wu San.
Bai Yutian happily walked over and said hello: "Third brother, you are here so early. Does Mr. Fan have anything to explain urgently?" He sat down.
Wu Sanxiao replied: "Your Excellency will leave the city tomorrow to inspect the surrounding defenses. I would like to tell you that if you have something to do, why don't you let us know as soon as possible and take care of it as soon as possible."
Bai Yutian looked at the four brothers Chen Xiwen and said, "Dad Xia Chen, Da Xia Liu, Da Xia Yang, Da Xia Ma, what I told the four of you last night, do you still want to do it today?"
Chen Xiwen and the four brothers looked at each other, and Chen Xiwen answered on his behalf: "Since it is a good thing, it must have been calculated."
Bai Yutian said happily: "Okay, have a good breakfast, and let's go to the government office together."
No one had any objections.
Breakfast was served, and everyone ate quickly. They went back to their rooms, picked up their luggage, paid for the room, left the inn, asked for horses, and walked to the Zhizhou government office.
Arriving in front of the Zhizhou government office, Zhen Jinlian's personal maid unexpectedly appeared at the door of the government office. Without any notification, she walked directly into the government office.
After a while of walking, I entered the backyard of Defu Yamen and saw Master Fan Zhongyan.
After greeting each other, Bai Yutian, Dong Xiaowan, and Chen Xiwen had something to do, so they followed Fan Zhongyan into the study and started talking.
Bai Yutian said: "Sir, I plan to go south today, so I came here to say goodbye to you."
Fan Zhongyan asked: "How much do you know about the Dragon Slaying Club?"
Bai Yutian replied: "The main altar of the Dragon Slaying Association is located in the Dragon King Mountain in Luliang Shizhou. It descends from Dragon Slaying. It has two envoys on the left and right, three guardians and six diamonds inside, and three walls and four elephants outside. Those four The elephants are respectively Qinglong Hall, White Tiger Hall, Zhuque Hall, and Xuanwu Hall. The master of White Tiger Hall is my senior brother. Su Zhener, the master of Zhuque Hall, has abandoned the secret and turned to the bright side and became the wife of Jiang Longwei, the chief escort of Longwei Escort Bureau. Qinglong Hall has also been dismissed. There is only one Xuanwu Hall hidden in the north, and I know very little about it and have no way of starting."
Fan Zhongyan said: "Shizhou Longwang Mountain, this is a bit difficult to handle. I am on Huanqing Road. As for the military and political affairs of Shizhou, it can be said that I am not in my position and do not plan for the government. I am beyond the reach of the whip. If you want to wipe out the Dragon Slaying Association, you Do you have any good ideas?"
Bai Yutian replied: "When I went north from the capital, Prime Minister Lu came to me and asked me to submit to the imperial court and use the power of the government to annihilate the Dragon Slaying Society. I did not agree at the time. I only said that I was willing to contribute to the annihilation of the Dragon Slaying Society, so he suggested that I run for martial arts. As the leader of the alliance, I will lead the martial arts heroes to destroy the Dragon Slayer Guild."
Fan Zhongyan thought for a moment and said, "No."
Chen Xiwen asked: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Fan Zhongyan replied: "You quacks are running rampant in the arena and regard the laws of the court as nothing. The court is already like a chokehold. If you make another alliance, the court will not be able to rest assured. It will definitely suppress you forcefully. Once you really do Once the leader of the martial arts alliance is elected, it will not be you who will destroy the Dragon Slayer Association, but the imperial court will destroy you."
Bai Yutian said: "Sir, if you can't unite the righteous people in the world of martial arts, no single gang can compete with the Dragon Slaying Society, let alone eliminate it. Also, Mr. Lu said that as long as the Dragon Slaying Society is eliminated, , if a martial arts person has made meritorious service to the country, he will report to the imperial court to reward him."
Fan Zhongyan said: "Even if Lu Yijian is telling the truth, it is not enough to be believed."
Chen Xiwen asked: "Why is this? Sir."
Fan Zhongyan sighed: "Looking at the position of Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, few can sit for three years, and most of them end it in two years. Now that Lu Yijian is the Prime Minister, he may be willing to do what he promised you, and you may It's safe. But in a year or two, once he, Lu Yijian, steps down, who can guarantee that the next prime minister will not attack you for the sake of the imperial court's rule."
Bai Yutian said: "Then what should we do? Sir. It was a good thing for heroes from all over the world to unite to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society. They were doing their best for the country, but in the end they became a thorn in the side of the imperial court and became a target of forcible suppression. Isn't this true? It goes against the laws of nature, where is the justice?”
Fan Zhongyan lamented: "There are some things in the world that have no justice at all. Everything is due to the needs of governance. Even if some things are done that violates the so-called absolute justice, as long as it can bring peace and stability to the country, it will not matter to the general public. It’s understandable that it’s harmful, and there’s no need to argue or comment too much.”
Bai Yutian said angrily: "My lord, if the heroes of the world unite to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society, not only will they have no success but will make mistakes, and they will have to accept suppression or persecution from the court, then it is better not to unite and let the Dragon Slaying Society continue to cause harm to the world. "
Fan Zhongyan angrily rebuked: "What are you talking about, kid? The imperial court eliminates hidden dangers that disrupt society, not only for the sake of the imperial court, but also for the benefit of the people all over the world. How can we say it is wrong? Take tigers and sea whales as examples. When you see a tiger killing animals in the mountains, you say it is extremely ferocious and should be destroyed. But sea whales live in the sea and eat hundreds of times as many small fish and shrimps as tigers, but you don’t remember. It is doing evil. They are both killing people. One is on the surface, and the evil deeds are obvious; the other is hidden under the water, silent, but your emotions towards them are very different. This is already unfair. "
After a slight pause, he continued: "The imperial court's suppression of local tyrants appears on the surface, which is equivalent to a tiger killing, and people can see it. Local tyrants harm the local area, hiding under the water, which is equivalent to a sea whale eating small fish and shrimps, but people cannot remember it. Think about it in your heart. Let me ask you, in order to protect the people of the world, is it better to suppress local tyrants, or to allow local tyrants to continue to harm the local area? "
Bai Yutian replied: "Local tyrants harm the local area, and for the sake of justice in the world, they should be suppressed. But based on the matter of annihilating the Dragon Slaying Society, the actions of the heroes in the world are just and serve the country. They should be treated differently and suppressed afterwards. Or persecution, it just shouldn’t be done.”
When Dong Xiaowan saw that Bai Yutian dared to talk back in front of Fan Zhongyan and insisted on her own understanding without making concessions, she couldn't help but want to look at him differently. Inadvertently, I thought of the rights and wrongs, grievances and hatreds between myself and Cui Yongyue, and I couldn't help but feel sour and miserable in my heart. I really wanted to ask clearly who was right and who was wrong.
Fan Zhongyan had been an official for decades, and everything he had done was beneficial to the Song Dynasty court or the people of the Song Dynasty, just because he had such awe-inspiring righteousness in his heart. Regarding Bai Yutian's words, as an official of the imperial court, he might not necessarily adopt them. But with justice in mind, he would never think that what Bai Yutian said was wrong. After all, merit is merit, and fault is fault. Merits and faults cannot offset each other, and they should be treated differently.
After a while, Fan Zhongyan said: "Boy, if you have the ability, please unite the heroes of the world to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society."
Bai Yutian asked: "Sir, what is the ability you are talking about...?"
Fan Zhongyan said: "Most of the heroes you mentioned are local tyrants who hide in the dark and harm the countryside. They regard the court's laws as nothing. The court is afraid of their existence and wants to suppress them. They should not be ignored. Unite them and Just to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society can be regarded as a great deed that has contributed to the country. As long as the alliance can be dissolved afterwards and the court will not be afraid, I am willing to inform the court and downplay the matter of your alliance, and we will be fine."
Bai Yutian said: "Sir, there is something I want to explain in advance."
Fan Zhongyan said: "Say."
Bai Yutian said: "Sir, according to Mr. Lu's tone, he intends to recruit heroes in the world afterwards."
Fan Zhongyan said: "What do you mean?"
Bai Yutian said: "Sir, if the heroes in the world are accustomed to the free life in the world and are unwilling to accept the court's care, you have to let them retreat without violating the majesty of the court and become 'bold and unruly people' fate."
Fan Zhongyan said: "As long as you can dissolve the alliance in time afterwards and do no harm to the rule of the Song Dynasty, even if you don't accept the imperial court's appeasement, you will not end up as a bold and unruly person. I am willing to use the black gauze on my head as an example for this. Save."
Bai Yutian bowed and clasped his fists, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Thank you, sir!"
Fan Zhongyan held up Bai Yutian's hands and said, "You kid, there's no need to thank me."
Bai Yutian said: "Sir, you don't know how miserable the heroes of the world have been inflicted by the Dragon Slaying Society. Those who are unwilling to join the Dragon Slaying Society will lose their families and their reputations. Those who are forced to join the Dragon Slaying Society will do all kinds of bad things and live in darkness. There’s no sense in it.”
Fan Zhongyan asked: "If that's the case, why doesn't anyone stand up and resist?"
Bai Yutian said: "The Dragon Slayer Society uses the name of the imperial court to suppress the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and secretly develops and grows. How can a single gang have the ability to resist. As mentioned just now, once the heroes of the rivers and lakes form an alliance, they will become the targets of the court's suppression. Who will How dare you take the lead! Besides, the Dragon Slayer Guild has the backing of the government. If we fight against the Dragon Slayer Guild, we are fighting against the government. There will be no chance of failure."
Fan Zhongyan sighed slightly and said: "Since it is imminent to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Association, you can set off south today. But you must remember to take into account the majesty of the court and let Prime Minister Lu know your true intentions. Don't escape him. Eyes acts wantonly and arouses his resistance. Without his help, even if you get to Shizhou, you may not be able to accomplish anything."
Chen Xiwen asked: "Sir, why is this?"
Fan Zhongyan said: "The evil organization of the Dragon Slaying Society has grown to such an extent. To say that Shizhou Zhizhou does not know about this matter is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally. Knowing this matter, the Dragon Slaying Society still dares to act so lawlessly and wantonly. There must be some reason. It’s all connected.”
Bai Yutian said: "Thank you, sir, for reminding me."
Fan Zhongyan glanced at Chen Xiwen and Dong Xiaowan and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Dong Xiaowan said: "May I ask, sir, how will we, the White Lotus Sect, handle ourselves starting today?"
Fan Zhongyan replied: "Before I send troops to recruit the familiar Qiang tribes, as long as the White Lotus Sect does not do evil, everything will remain the same."
Dong Xiaowan said: "Yes, sir."
Bai Yutian said: "Sir, the four brothers of Daxia Chen Xiwen want to stay in Qingzhou and do their best for your safety."
Fan Zhongyan looked at Chen Xiwen and asked, "Master Chen, is this what you really think?"
Chen Xiwen bowed and replied: "Sir, this is what my brothers and I think."
Fan Zhongyan asked: "Why do you want to do this?"
Chen Xiwen replied: "Reporting to your lord, Bai Shaoxia said that you have tens of thousands of armored soldiers hidden in your belly. To protect your safety is to help the Song Dynasty protect tens of thousands of armored soldiers. My brothers and I have been living in ignorance for decades. In order to survive, we have done We have committed many evil deeds, and we no longer want to live the same life as before. If you are willing to take him in, we are willing to use the blood in our chests to exchange our merits for atonement. In the future, we can also ask for it when we meet our ancestors under Dejiuquan. Their forgiveness.”
Fan Zhongyan was very pleased to hear this answer and said: "Since you have such good intentions, then stay here. But let me explain in advance that although you are close to me, you will not receive any preferential treatment compared to other soldiers fighting on the battlefield. We are all the same, treated equally.”
Chen Xiwen bowed down and bowed to the end, saying, "Thank you so much, sir."
Fan Zhongyan helped Chen Xiwen up and said with a smile: "If there is nothing else, let's go to the dining room to eat first. This is my respect to you people in the world."
Bai Yutian, Chen Xiwen, and Dong Xiaowan bowed and said politely: "Thank you, sir."
After finishing his words, he followed Fan Zhongyan towards the dining room.
