son-in-law

Chapter 1162 Chapter [-]
There was a commotion in the distance of the city.

A dash of smoke was blowing in the field of vision.

On the corridor, I chatted with Xu Zhaonan, the "runner king" who was about to leave.When he entered the courtyard, Wang Nanda saw his senior brother, with his hands on his back, looking out from the terrace, staring at the chaos in the city.

"Senior brother." He saluted not far behind.

Lin Zongwu didn't look back. After a while, Wang Nanda heard him sigh slightly: "...All life is suffering."

"Why do you sigh like this, brother?"

"Half of the country, a thousand miles of land, the situation is very good." Lin Zongwu sighed, "Sometimes, they have to fight again, and even this seat feels a little baffling."

There is quite a sense of sigh in the words, "terrorists like me don't understand what you think".

Wang Nanda nodded and understood.

"Xu Gong...has told his senior brother what he thinks?"

"...He Wen did the opposite and deserves to be killed."

Hearing this, Wang Nanda frowned: "Xu Gong, he... let senior brother kill He Wen?"

"It's not like that." Lin Zongwu shook his head with a smile, "Zhao Nan told me about some recent changes, King Fairness is unpredictable, he and the other three have already begun to transfer troops, and strive to do it within half a month. It's good to prepare for a war with him. But the development of this matter is too direct, and the fair king almost clearly recognized the matter of the book club, so unwise, it makes people feel that there will be a reversal behind it... Junior and brother are inquiring here. How's it going?"

Wang Nantuo lowered his voice: "Except for what King Ping Ping said that day, only the Monkey King has proved that the people from the southwest were present, but this matter is still quite strange. Heaven, in Tongshan County, killed many people in the Monkey King's family, saying that they came from the southwest. In fact, there is no solid evidence. Moreover, the one who got involved with this Long Aotian...the self-proclaimed Assassin Qitian Xiaosheng, Sounds like... a nephew."

"Humph." Lin Zongwu's expression was majestic, he smiled strangely, and then said: "...you go on."

"This Long Aotian has a random temperament and is lawless. Even if he really came out of the Southwest, I'm afraid he is not a member of the envoy. As for the situation where the Monkey King fought another man from the Southwest that day, there is no other evidence to prove that the Monkey King was beaten. Light, said that the other party was practicing the thirteen Taibao horizontal training golden bell hood, and his appearance was similar to that of Lu Hongti's disciple 'Black Iron God' Qiu Shuyan. Information about the appearance of the powerful 'Black Iron God'."

"That kid, it's not like I haven't seen that in Luliang that day, but he's darker than others, how can he be so exaggerated as black charcoal, so he can't find it..." Lin Zongwu shook his head and laughed, "However, for Did the Southwest Mission come, what do you think, Junior Brother?"

"...Although they are rivals, the fair party meeting in front of you is indeed a big event. In the past, it was said that He Wen and Ning Yi were not on good terms, but this meeting was deliberately taking advantage of Southwest, so the big guys thought Southwest I won't send someone here, but now that I want to come, I have to admit that Ning Yi is a person who does big things. It wouldn't be surprising if he sent someone. It's just in my opinion, he might not choose He Wen to join forces."

“How come you see?”

"People say that clay bodhisattvas have three points of anger, but Ning Yi has a lot of anger."

Regarding Ning Yi's anger, Wang Nanda did not expand on it, but for Lin Zongwu, it was natural to understand.He folded his hands and sighed.

"Fair King He Wen's attitude towards the book club is ambiguous. Under normal circumstances, it would immediately cause backlash from the other four families. But just because of a rumor from the southwest, the rest of the families are now like birds of prey and can only Using the suppression of the book club as a means to temporarily put pressure on He Wen. Zhaonan only came here, and what he worries about is not only He Wen's private contact with Southwest, but also the people who Southwest contacts, not just one family."

Wang Nanda frowned, "Gao Chang..."

"In these days, everyone said that King Gao Tianwang and King Fairness were all the same, and the other three were all the same, but thinking about it carefully, 'King Yama' Zhou Shang has a radical personality, but he opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut, so why not come from the southwest He not only disliked He Wen's constrained hands and feet and could not achieve great things, but even thought that the southwest side was not thorough enough. According to Ning Yi's style, it may not be impossible to chat with him. As for the king of equality, he operated trade routes and had supplies under his command. Fengyu, opening your mouth and shutting your mouth is the second heart demon, if Ning Yi is really willing to talk to him, do you think he will come up to it?"

"But his son is..."

"These big men, their sons can hold back when they die, not to mention that they only have one hand missing. He swears, and he comes out to make trouble at the first time. Who can be sure of what he has in mind? In case the four families join forces to fight King Fairness, when it comes to the end, the two parties will defect, and the other two will be divided up. Zhaonan only came here, and that's what worries me." Lin Zongwu paused slightly, "Such a good situation, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, You are suspicious of me, I am suspicious of you... It really makes people feel, why bother?"

He is highly skilled in martial arts and is almost number one in the world, but after entering the political arena, he has suffered repeated setbacks and failed to make much of a difference in the Central Plains and Jindi.When I came to Jiangnan this time, I was a little reserved at first, but I immediately noticed that the Fairness Party was very powerful.In the past, people from the north moved south, and the essence of the world returned to the south of the Yangtze River. Although the mountains and rivers are now broken, after the fair party has swept through, its power has still become the second best in the world in the eyes of many people, and I don’t know how many people are envied.

Now that all parties in Jiangning are converging, the five factions are converging, and the situation is looking good. on the side.

Even if there is some kind of struggle, wouldn't it be better to do it after the merger is successful?
Lin Zongwu felt bad and regretful for it.

"Everyone outside, how is the situation now?"

"All parties are in active contact, but there are a few with strange whereabouts." Wang Nanda said, "At this conference, all the forces in the world have arranged manpower, but the most powerful ones are no more than a few parties. Wu Qimei from Lin'an , Tie Yan is here to ask the Fairness Party to raise your hand. In the past, he has been active and active, but since the Jinlou incident, some people have pointed the finger at them. The people of the envoy have been hiding for a few days, but now there is no news, some people are in It is said in private that they may have been killed."

Lin Zongwu nodded.

The small court of Wu Qimei and Tie Yan, which in the past was supported by the Jurchen East Route Army, is now very pitiful, because both in terms of morality and strength, they have fallen into a situation where the world is killing everyone.The Fujian court in the southeast wanted to kill him, Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei in the name of the Wu Dynasty wanted to kill him, and the southwest had long since released rumors that they wanted to kill him. As for the Central Plains Zou Xu and Jindi female ministers, who seemed to have nothing to do with it, if possible I don't mind killing them casually. After all, the small court relied on the Jurchen, and its reputation is already stinky. Whoever gets rid of it can gain a lot of prestige even if there is no real profit, so why not do it.

As for the Fair Party in the south of the Yangtze River, the local tyrants who divided the land were the first to bear the brunt of the gang of tyrants and landlords entrenched in Lin'an. Zhou Shang had long regarded them as things in their pockets and grain storage in winter.On the other hand, rationalists like He Wen and resourceists like Shi Baofeng called on things to be disciplined and opened up to those who voluntarily reformed and who had no serious evil, but gave them a glimmer of hope, so they came over during the conference, As long as they are willing to accept them, they will lobby everywhere. At the beginning, they have entered many people's doors, and even sent out a lot of gold and silver.

It was only after the assassination in Jinlou that Liu Guangshi's messenger was killed. Some people said in private that in today's Jiangning City, the Lin'an Small Imperial Court is the most afraid of the merger of the Fair Party. Later, the suspected perpetrator gradually spread. In the past, the green forest lord swallowed the cloud monk, and when this cloud swallowed monk was raging in the south of the Yangtze River, it seemed that he had been hired by Wu Qimei and Tie Yan.

The envoys sent by Wu and Tie also tried to defend themselves, but when the real culprit could not be found, the atmosphere in the city was quite a kind of "everyone has already decided", "Anyway, it is not wrong to say that you are a bad person." Propensity.This caused the envoy to transfer and avoid it overnight.I don't know where to hide, but I still haven't shown up until now.

"...The mission of the little emperor in the southeast is now led by Zuo Xiuquan of the Zuo family. They used to be very low-key in the past, but in recent days, they have been secretly connecting with people. We have inquired privately, It is not clear who they will put their chips on, but it seems that He Wen and Zhou Shang will be out first. For the Southeast, these two will be too determined, and once they get out of Fujian, they will be defeated. Encountered by the Fair Party, it is not a good choice for these two to form an alliance for a short time. Now it seems that they are the closest to King Gao Tian, ​​but it is not impossible to talk with King Ping Ping or our side."

When Wang Nanda said this, he lowered his voice: "I heard that Duke Xu has sent someone over to invite him."

"The Zuo family's status is detached, and their relationship with Southwest is also very good." Lin Zongwu smiled, "If the other party is willing to cooperate, maybe they will know about the news of Southwest."

Wang Nanda nodded: "In addition, the mission sent by Duke Liu and Duke Dai is quite interesting. After the assassination of Gu'anhe, the responsibility of the envoy fell to the Monkey King. Brother knows that the Monkey King is quite ambitious. Recently negotiating on behalf of Duke Liu and Duke Xu, he should have gained a lot of benefits in private. However, besides the Monkey King, there is another deputy envoy in this mission, who is also doing a good job, which makes the situation a bit intriguing. "

Lin Zongwu thought for a while: "Lu Zhongming?"

"It's Duke Dai's disciple." Wang Nantuo said, "Gong Liu and Duke Dai formed an alliance. On the surface, Duke Liu was the leader, but Duke Dai also had a lot of prestige. Lu Zhongming came here as a deputy envoy. At first, I didn't talk much with people about other matters. I only devoted myself to selling the plan of the 'Chinese Wushu Association' and made a lot of promises to everyone, saying that as long as Dai Gong entered Bianliang one day, the Chinese Wushu Association would If it is established, the things promised to everyone will be fulfilled. For this matter, he also asked his senior brother."

Lin Zongwu nodded: "Dai Gong is a man of great virtue, and Lu Zhongming is also quite polite. He brought a letter and said that if the big thing can be accomplished, I hope that I will be the president of the Chinese Wushu Association. If I don't want to be the president, You can hold the title of Supreme Elder and Honorary President. This is a good event for Yu Wuxue, and I agreed to him casually. Lu Zhongming is quite measured, and he has not used my name to promote it everywhere. , I have some appreciation."

Wang Nantuo said: "After the death of Gu Anhe, the Monkey King decided to form an alliance with Duke Xu, and Lv Zhongming was still lobbying everywhere to promote the plan of the Chinese Wushu Association. In recent days, many people regard it as Duke Dai's. The representative, I talked to him about a lot of cooperation in private... Of course, these things are true and false, and there is still no conclusion, but after talking with the Monkey King, Xu Gong also met Lu Zhongming privately twice, which is a bit come from behind. I mean."

"It is not easy for Dai Meng to work together vertically and horizontally, and even Southwest and Jurchen have been toyed with by him. The disciples he sent should not be underestimated."

"As for the other two, the mission sent by Lou Shuwan was led by the child An Xifu, who was hunted down by Duke Xu and Zhou Shang some time ago, and there is no news now. Qian, if you can catch this person, you may be able to ask some information about the situation in the southwest... As for the other side, it is said that Zou Xu also sent a team of envoys, and may have contacted Xu Gong privately, but the news from the southwest is always equal. After Wang's words came out, this group has completely disappeared, and in our opinion, they must be afraid of being sought revenge by people from the southwest."

"Send people, try to find the group sent by Zou Xu." Hearing Wang Nanda talking about this, Lin Zongwu said, "Zou Xu knows the details of the southwest best, if possible, pull him to the We are here. As for the safety issue, this seat is willing to give them a guarantee. It doesn’t matter if I need to take action.”

"Yes." Wang Nanda nodded. "Now that the name of the southwest has come out, everyone from Zou Xu has also sent people to look for it. As long as we let out the wind, we believe that there will be results soon."

"As for An Xifu..." Lin Zongwu pondered for a moment, then sighed slightly, "Let them go... There are not many old Manichaeans left in those days. Xiao An is a disciple of Fang Baihua, but Fang Baihua's He is already dead. He has followed Wang Yin in Jindi for all these years... It is not easy. Back then when we fought against Jin in Jindi, there is no grudge between Wang Yin and I. If you can see him, you can bring him to see me. "

The smoke and dust in the city floated in the autumn sunshine, and Lin Zongwu's huge body seemed to become peaceful with his sigh. Wang Nanda could understand his mood and nodded.

In fact, Lin Zongwu and Wang Yin had a chance to repair when they formed a team in Jindi to fight against gold together, but at that time, Lin Zongwu's command was huge and there were many disciples. Lou Shuwan and Tian Shi were also respectful to him. It made him look down on Wang Juyun's "chaotic teacher" who was in ragged clothes and not equipped with weapons and guns, and he did not talk to each other with a tacit understanding.

Not long after, he failed to resist gold, and when he thought about it, he felt that there was something to be said for chaotic teachers, but at that time, it would be difficult for him to come to the door to catch up with Wang Yin again... These things are simple in words, but there are also complexities in them. The reason, for example, the female prime minister Lou Shuwan, at that time, there was a hint of provocation, and there were several times that it seemed to be reconciling, but in fact it had the opposite effect.He didn't bother to think about it any more, but if he really wanted to say it, the political field was too sinister and people's hearts were filthy.nausea.

When the two brothers talked about this matter, the topic was a little easier.over the past month.The various delegations in the city cooperated in private and made friends everywhere, but as long as they had the right to choose, they still had some thoughts of selling for a price. A certain family negotiated a compromise - this is because according to the predetermined procedure, the five parties of the Fairness Party are to unite, and the rest of the families belong to the nature of coming over and hugging their thighs.

However, as soon as He Wen's brain-twitching move came out, although Shi Baofeng, Xu Zhaonan and others still couldn't determine his purpose, if they were not careful, the Fairness Party Conference became at least one or two infighting that was cleared up.Under such circumstances, every major foreign force's lineup became more important, and every household sounded a trumpet and went outside to pull people out one after another.Once he really wants to fight, no matter whether He Wen has more conspiracy or not, it is always right to be strong.

After chatting a few more words about the attitudes of the various families in the city, Wang Nanda hesitated: "Actually...Senior Brother..."

"Ok?"

"Nephew's affairs, do I have to intervene here? My idea is to let him come back..."

"Oh why?"

"The young man who acted together with the self-proclaimed 'Wulin Alliance Leader' Long Aotian is actually somewhat similar to his nephew, most of whom are him. To the outside world, he calls himself 'Monkey King' Sun Wukong, but... this..."

Lin Zongwu looked at him.

Wang Nanda hesitated for a moment: "The green forest also gave them nicknames, one is the five-footed Y demon, the other is four-footed... The four-footed one is the nephew..."

Lin Zongwu looked at him and let go of the hands on his back.

"These rumors in the green forest are accumulating and destroying bones, and my nephew doesn't know about it..."

"Pfft-haha..."

Lin Zongwu laughed, only to hear the laughter echoing in the courtyard, and gradually enveloped half of the new Tiger Palace as the internal force swayed.

"LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL……"

The laughter came suddenly, and everyone in the palace who heard it from far and near was convinced by this internal force, but Lin Zongwu smiled cheerfully and did not contain other emotions. Most of the people guessed that this was something good happened.

Wang Nanda, who was nearby, was stunned at first, and then slightly helpless, he said, "Senior brother..."

Lin Zongwu's laughter finally stopped, and he said, "Let's talk about it."

"what?"

"Since he has achieved such a reputation as a four-footed demon, what kind of shameless act did he do? Tell me in detail, I want to hear it."

Wang Nanda sighed: "There is no Y line, I heard that he was damaged by the five-foot Y demon..."

"Since it has been damaged, there must be Y line, this is interesting, you can talk about it in detail..."

"It's not bad, it's being implicated - implicated!" Wang Nanda couldn't help laughing and crying, "Senior brother, don't think it's funny, young people walk in the world, reputation is very important, if you really get stigmatized, you won't be able to return in the future... "

Lin Zongwu laughed again, and after a while, he said: "The young man walks in the green forest, I only worry that he has experienced too few things, and his life is not exciting enough. Although Jiang Ning is chaotic, Ping An's temperament is too peaceful. In the imagination, I was also afraid that he would make good friends every day, hiding in the dark and not dare to cause trouble. Now it seems that the four-foot Y demon, this wonderful level is far beyond the expectations of this seat. "

He paused slightly: "Malicious, slander, stigma, lies, deception, rivals, fights... Where in this world are there no such things? People who have lived through these things a few times and still live are outstanding people. The only thing that can teach peace is martial arts, the trials and tribulations on the rivers and lakes, if he doesn’t break through today, in the future you and I are gone, will he still be able to avoid it? , He was the one who made a good relationship with the Monkey King. On the night of the Golden Tower, the Monkey King fought with people, his face was in a mess, our 'Four-foot Y Demon' was..."

Wang Nanda sighed again: "Looking back, it was these two children who were chased and killed by the Monkey King and that Jin Yongsheng, but it's a bit embarrassing to say this clearly, and both Li and Jin were a bit embarrassed about this fight. He was vague, but on the bright side, he aimed at Meng Zhutao and took a small advantage."

"Hahahahaha..." Lin Zongwu burst out laughing, "Look, if you are right with Li Yanfeng and Jin Yongsheng, the two famous masters, they can finally run away and turn around. At that time, these two assassinated on the long street. Baofeng's son, what do you call him... Whatever you want, you can still walk away after the assassination. With such skills and such prestige, you are indeed my disciple of Lin Zongwu, junior brother, how can you not laugh at it. If it were me, the surname Shi would be dead, and I would kill him again, hahahaha, good! It’s so powerful!”

Lin Zongwu smiled heroically and happily, and when he said that his sleeves twitched, he seemed to have the urge to kill Shi Weiyang for his apprentice, and he didn't bother to consider whether he was an ally with Shi Baofeng.

"Now that you know the whereabouts of Ping An, you, uncle, should pay more attention to the affairs of your nephew. I am now a clay statue Buddha in this new tiger palace, and there are some private matters that are not easy to inquire about in person... "Lin Zongwu smiled and lowered his voice, "Go and inquire about how this four-foot Y-fiend's name came from. It must be interesting to think about it. And look, why is he a four-foot Y-fiend? It's not six feet... Even being a Y demon has to follow other people's ass. In the future, it's a bit embarrassing for you and me to say the names of elders. Our disciples should be six feet..."

Wang Nanda knew that he was joking, and sighed again: "I heard that the five-foot Y demon is from the southwest. After all, we and the southwest have an inseparable feud."

"The grudges of the elders, to the next generation, do not need to be recited." Lin Zongwu said, "The road to peace, let him choose by himself in the future."

After a while, he smiled again: "Go and ask, I'm waiting to hear the evil things of this Y demon."

Wang Nanda looked at him a few times, and finally nodded, turned and left.But after a few steps, he turned around.

His face became serious: "Senior brother, there is one more thing, I..."

"Say."

"...On that day, the Fairness Party swept across the south of the Yangtze River, fighting tyrants and dividing fields. Xu Gong, together with King Fairness, occupied the right of righteousness. That's why I asked him to go north and ask you to come out. This time, it's King Fairness. This person's personality is unpredictable, and he is doing the wrong thing, but if the entire fair party is really in strife, if the righteousness is difficult to survive on Xu Gong's side... Senior Brother, it's okay for us to leave or help the party with the righteous reputation..."

Wang Nanda and Lin Zongwu have been together for most of their lives, and they are very clear about this senior brother's lifelong pursuit and obsession.Although he had also worked for the big clan and had to be displaced as a last resort, he actually valued his own reputation quite a bit, and he often acted on a famous teacher.

When dealing with Fang La, the starting point was revenge; when he killed Qin Siyuan, he was also talking about hoeing traitors and killing thieves for the country, but over the years, the black flag has become so powerful that Qin Siyuan was gradually "washed white" by Na Ning Yi; In these years of "Number One", he has always been a courteous corporal within his ability; even in Jindi, the only position he chose has always been to resist gold.In general, in this life, my brother hopes to be praised by others.

This time, the fair party itself is also righteous, but if the fair party is really fighting infighting, what does the "runner king" Xu Zhaonan occupy, then it's hard to say, maybe it's just a mere rebel cult?At that point, he knew that his brother would be very uncomfortable staying here, so after careful consideration, he finally decided to say this.

Lin Zongwu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"There will be a way."

He waved his hand: "Let's go and find out."

Wang Nanda nodded and turned away.

After Wang Nanda left, Lin Zongwu turned his head again and looked at the beacon smoke in the city with his hands on his back.

The riots caused by the killing of members of the book club are spreading in Jiangning City. At this time, similar chaos is actually spreading across the entire Jiangnan land.

The orders of the four powers, such as "Turn Wheel King", "Equality King", "Yan Luo King" and even "Gao Tianwang", have been issued one after another to clean up the members of the book club. The position of the first time, this is the first round of pressure on the "King of Fairness" He Wenyu Reading Club.

The solicitation of various forces and the urgent discussions in private have also been carried out in two or three days.Of course, consensus and mutual trust are not so easy to establish. Orders from thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, and even the ensuing military mobilization and personnel changes, cannot be quickly implemented.If the Fairness Party is regarded as a team, the overall turnaround of each of the giants will take up to ten days and a half months to complete completely.

The city is buzzing.

At the moment when Lin Zongwu was looking at the beacon in the New Tiger Palace, on the other side of the city, Gao Chang Gao Tianwang, who had a thorough conversation with He Wen, received Zuo Xiu, who came from the southeast, more formally and more secretly. right.

The room located at a high place can also see the chaos in the city. Zuo Xiuquan grabbed the tea cup after Gao Chang rough tea, and then slowly began to speak after re-brewing the tea.

"...This time in Jiangning City, there are three missions, which is the most special, because only these three have the right of righteousness. Regardless of whether Gao Tianwang wants it or not, you have to choose one to cooperate with..."

　I encountered some things, and with the help of some friends, it was very difficult for me to clear up my mood. This incident is more bizarre than the experience at the beginning of the year. The specific details cannot be said now. It may be a few years before I can summarize these things with you. If If I want to talk about my feelings, it's probably "The person who wrote my life is a third-rate screenwriter, and he still writes traditional literature"... Well, I hope I can make more updates, and the rest will not be said.
