Shuoyun Feidu

The two joked for a while, and then Yin Zhibai and Shen Hanyan also greeted each other. Everyone was friends who had known each other for several years, so naturally there was no restraint. The two of Yan talked and laughed, Meng Chunyuan stood by and brought tea, Yin Zhibai saw him for the first time, and saw that he was not like a child molester, he behaved innocently, without any appearance of flattery or obsequiousness, It was more like a younger brother who came out to play with his elder brother, so he joked to Beitang Rongdu: "Oh, I don't know when the Beitang Fortress added you a brother?" He smiled slightly, and Beitang Rongdu next to him said with a smile: "Brother, I think I have raised a son who is very naughty all day long." Yin Zhibai brought the tea to his mouth, unconsciously: "You are At what age, I want to be a father." Beitang Rong Du smiled with his sleeves in his arms, and said, "Why, can it be impossible? Speaking of which, in about half a year, I will be a father!" Yin Zhibai heard the words , I was a little surprised, so I asked one more question, and after listening to Beitang Rongdu's brief explanation, I couldn't help congratulating for a while.

After the three of them talked for a while, Beitang Rongdu looked at the time, and suddenly said: "It's time." Shen Hanyan seemed to know what he was referring to, so it was no surprise that he just called someone to take the cloak for Beitang Tang Rongdu fastened it, and Yin Zhibai saw the young man skillfully fasten the black jade buckle on Beitang Rongdu's cloak, a moment of silence flashed in his eyes, and then smiled lightly: "Why, what's the matter?" Beitang Rongdu nodded , and Yin Zhibai took their sleeves and walked towards a golden nanmu chariot that had been carried not far away, and said as they walked: "Of course there are... It's a coincidence that you came, let's go together." Yin Zhibai didn't say much at the moment, He got on the chariot with him, watched the two girls put down the Baoxiangluo curtain, and the chariot moved slowly, and then asked: "What's the matter?" Beitang Rongdu slowly counted the shackles on his right wrist with his fingers The nanxiang wood was inlaid with golden blessings and beads, and said calmly: "Zhibai, I got news a while ago that the Taihang family Song, Qiqiao Momen, Li Hangzhai, and Linnan Xie's family, these four forces intend to form an alliance. knew."

Yin Zhibai smiled slightly, and said: "Although the source of Pingjian Mountain Villa's news is not as good as that of Unsheltered Fortress, I have heard about it." A trace of coldness appeared in Yin Zhibai's handsome face, and a sneer seemed to flash across Yin Zhibai's handsome face: " They are really scared... Beitang, Unsheltered Fort has accumulated power for hundreds of years, since the Lord of Beitang took charge of Unsheltered Fort, and you started to join the world to assist you many years ago, you have become more and more gluttonous, and your power is overwhelming the world. The forces of all parties are either lying low, watching on the sidelines, watching coldly, or harboring hostility... It is self-evident that these four parties want to form an alliance to form a counterbalance in the dark, and each of them has their own thoughts." He said. Speaking of this, he unconsciously looked at Beitang Rongdu beside him: "Beitang, could it be..."

Beitang Rongdu nodded, and said with a low smile: "Yes, we are going to visit right now... I just received the news yesterday that the Taihang Song clan leader, Mo Yuancheng, the head of the Qiqiao Mo Sect, and Li Hangzhai Zhaizhu As well as the Patriarch of the Xie family, today we will gather here to discuss the alliance of the four families in detail, hehe, who would have thought that such a big matter would be discussed in a small mausoleum spring garden, which is really ingenious." Yin Zhibai raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh? I don't know about this." Saying this in his mouth, he also had a further evaluation of the forces under Beitang Rongdu's command in his heart.Beitang Rongdu smiled and said nothing, "Zhibai, do you still remember what you promised me when you came to see me overnight at Wushebao?" Yin Zhibai smiled as he rolled his eyes slightly. : "At that time I said, 'Wuzhibao has a great vision, and the ambition is more than that. I will answer you now. No matter what happens in the future, Pingjian Villa will help you'." There is a tacit understanding, no more talk, just a smile.

Mausoleum Spring Garden was built more than ten years ago, during which the scenery is sparse and bright, with light colors and light strokes. It is different from the rich and prosperous scenes of other places. There are not many, but just looking at the description of the momentum, you can tell that he is a first-class master. Beitang Rongdu was sitting on the chariot, and his subordinates handed over the post. After a while, the passer-by came out from inside and said: "... Lord Shaobao and Lord Yin, please."

The trees in the garden are sparse, flowers and leaves are scattered, only a clear spring lingers past, but it is also elegant and quiet. Beitang Rongdu and Yin Zhibai walked in, a sense of desolation and sparseness came over their faces, and the two followed The person who led the way walked for a while, and saw a large pavilion not far away, with light veils hanging on all sides, and four people could be vaguely seen sitting inside. Outside the pavilion, a beautiful maid was making tea with a small red clay stove. On a small bridge, a beautiful woman in plain clothes is playing the piano and playing tunes. This scene is almost like a painting.

When the two entered the pavilion, they saw thick felt blankets on the floor. The four of them were sitting on their knees. A pair of eyes are clear and bright, with a wide robe and a high crown, it is Song Rui, the head of the Song family of the Taihang family, and the person next to him is thin and elegant, with hands that are as long as his knees, is Xie Xiuping, the head of the Xie family in Linnan, and a white-faced and slightly bearded man in the south. The middle-aged man in Yongjun is Mo Yuancheng, the head of the Qiqiao Mo Sect. The last person is a young woman who looks like 21 or [-] years old. She is dressed in simple clothes, with plain white clothes and black silk like ink. She only holds a wooden hairpin on her arm. Holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, his face is elegant and graceful, as elegant as a fairy, but there is a kindness and warmth in his beauty, he is the master of Li Hangzhai, Lan Miaoxuan of this generation.

All of them are people with their own identities in the Jianghu, and they have seen each other before. The four of them raised their eyes and saw Beitang Rongdu and Yin Zhibai. The identities of the two people in front of them are definitely not inferior to everyone, so at least on the surface, they must not lose their courtesy, so they all stood up to greet each other, and Song Rui, who was the most powerful among the four, nodded lightly, stroked his beard and said: "Young castle master and Yin Owner, please sit down." As soon as the words finished, someone below laid out two small tables and brought tea.

The two then straightened their clothes and sat down, Yin Zhibai looked around lightly, smiled slightly, and said: "Beitang and I came here uninvited, speaking of it, we are evil guests." Lan Miaoxuan smiled beautifully, poured tea, and said: "Villa Master Yin is really serious." Mo Yuancheng next to him looked calm and said, "I don't know why Shaobao Master and Master Yin came here this time?"

He just finished speaking, but he heard Beitang Rongdu suddenly laughed, took a sip of fragrant tea, and said: "Ming people don't speak dark words, Master Mo, what kind of person am I, Beitang Rongdu? Thinking about it, no one knows that no one knows. I have always been thick-hearted and dark-hearted, and I don’t get up early without profit. Now that I’m here, I naturally go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. We know very well that we don't need those politeness." Patriarch Xie Xiuping's thin face moved slightly, and he looked at Song Rui. Lan Miaoxuan's eyes turned, as if a clear spring was pouring into people's hearts, with a look of pity on her face, slowly turning the beads in her hands, she said softly: "Young Castle Lord, the Unsheltered Castle has been built for hundreds of years, and has always been used to kill Starting a family, now it is even more powerful, destroying the door, annexing local forces, and acting with the intention of reversing the prosperity of Shunchang, but don’t see how many people ruin their families for this? I passed by Changzhou a while ago, and I saw Kunsu in the past. The former site of the gate has now become a sub-altar of Unsheltered Fort, the world has changed, but that's all."

She was originally plain-clothed and clean-faced, with an elegant and light face, but now she has a compassionate and gentle expression, and a compassionate tone, which is slightly melancholy and sentimental, even if she has a hard-hearted heart, she can't help being shaken, it really makes people feel soft in the heart , but when Beitang Rongdu heard this, he just smiled and brushed his hair hanging on his chest, and said casually: "What the Master said, do you mean that my Beitang father and son are cruel and vicious, and regard human life as worthless?" Lan Miaoxuan didn't refute, just sighed softly, Yin Zhibai just poured tea for himself, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.Beitang Rongdu glanced at the Buddhist bead in Lan Miaoxuan's hand, and suddenly said calmly: "Master Zhai is merciful." He changed his voice and asked, "Master Zhai thinks, how can one become a Buddha?" Lan Miaoxuan Miaoxuan's beautiful eyes were slightly fixed, and she didn't know why he asked this question for a while, but she still answered: "Naturally, it is to save all sentient beings, and to persuade people to do good, so that they can reach bliss early and become a Buddha immediately."

Beitang Rongdu suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, but his eyes were cold and sober: "Well said! What is Buddha? What is compassion? It turns out that the purpose of saving all sentient beings is to reach the bliss early, and the purpose of being merciful is nothing more than to achieve your own success. Buddha, what kind of compassion, what kind of salvation, are all just means, becoming a Buddha and ancestor is the goal! After all, why bother to pretend to be a fig leaf of righteousness!" Beitang Rongdu sneered, and continued Said: "Master Zhai please, the lives of my father and son in Beitang's hands are probably more than the people Zhaizhu has ever seen, there are tens of millions of people in this world, even if I don't have Wushebao, there will naturally be others, If I kill all the disciples of Wushebao now, and set fire to the entire school, it won't be long before another force will replace them, it's just because the word "benefit" is in the head, and the word "benefit" is in the heart! Like you and me People, which one doesn't plan everything for their own forces, and talk about righteousness and the like, but it's just to deceive the ignorant people. What is the way of heaven? The eight words are "natural selection, survival of the fittest"! In this world There are only two kinds of people: those who are mastered by others and those who master others. Rather than someone else making a sword and me being a fish, it is better to die as a fellow Taoist and not to die as a poor daoist!"

Such blatant words finally moved everyone, but Yin Zhibai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's a pity that there is no tea but no wine here, otherwise, just based on this one-liner, it would be a big white!" Lan Miaoxuan's complexion turned pale, and immediately Recovering as usual, slowly counting the beads in his hand, he said slowly: "It turns out that the master of the young castle has the ambition of 'one word is the law of the world'... The master of the young castle has a big heart, which is beyond the reach of others." Everyone can change color, and the only ones who can regard "a word as the law of the world" are the former emperors except for the saints and Confucians!Even if anyone has such ambition nowadays, everyone knows it, but it is hard to say it clearly after all. Lan Miaoxuan's words are terrific!Seeing Beitang Rongdu staring at Lan Miaoxuan suddenly, the pair of blue and clear phoenix eyes revealed a ruthless and cold light, he looked at the other party, and said coldly: "Everyone should be responsible for what they say ... Master Zhai, be careful with your words!"

The young man's gaze is as real as it is, it hurts people's face when they are scratched, Lan Miaoxuan was provoked by him just now, so she retaliated by saying this momentarily, in fact, once she said this, she also regretted it, now that she heard Beitang Rongdu's words , Unknowingly silent, just quietly counting the beads in his hand.Beitang Rongdu withdrew his gaze, adjusted his clothes a bit, and then said to Song Rui: "I heard that the lord has a beloved daughter under his knees, who is only twenty-seven years old and has both virtue and appearance." A gleam flashed in Song Rui's eyes, and he just smiled faintly: " The old man's heirs are not prosperous, and now he is over half a hundred years old, but there is only a little blood of this woman under his knees." Beitang Rongdu also smiled, nodded, and then said to Xie Xiuping: "Master Xie's two sons are dragons and phoenixes among people. , I heard that a young girl is also very smart." Xie Xiuping's eyes were dark, he looked at Beitang Rongdu, and said slowly: "The little girl is only about sixteen, a little bit of a child's cleverness, how can she be less The castle master praised her." Beitang Rongdu smiled and said: "Thank you, Patriarch, for being too modest." After finishing speaking, he sat upright and said with a straight face, "So, I want the two ladies to be wives, and I also hope that the patriarch and Xie Patriarch I agree. This matter has already been reported to my father and has been approved. I would like to treat it as an equal wife and form a good relationship with Song and Xie.

As soon as these words came out, the entire pavilion was silent, Lan Miaoxuan suddenly changed color, Mo Yuancheng's face twitched slightly, Yin Zhibai stroked the case with one hand, his eyes turned slightly, and then calmed down as usual, Beitang Rongdu sat upright on the spot, his face There seems to be no smile, just wait quietly.

After a long time, Song Rui got up suddenly, and walked out of the pavilion, saying: "Master Shaobao's kindness, I dare not greet you." After speaking, he actually left the table and left on his own, Xie Xiuping slightly Opening half-closed eyes, he also got up from his seat, with a faint smile on his face: "The little girl is naughty, the master of the castle will take care of you." The two of them, Mo and Mo, only said in a loud voice: "So, after seven days, Rong Du will come to the door to discuss this matter in detail. Let me go." At the moment, I didn't say much, since I left the pavilion with Yin Zhibai, and when they boarded the sedan chair, Seeing that Song and Xie also left separately.Yin Zhibai put down the curtain with one hand, sat down next to Rongdu in the Beitang, and said with a slight smile, "Good trick, you played your cards out of common sense, even I never thought you would be like this... you can easily break the four alliances with one word, Can this be regarded as a soldier who surrenders without fighting?"

Beitang Rongdu leaned on his seat, and said lazily: "In the end, it's just because of interests. Song Rui and Xie Xiuping can sit in this position, which one is an ordinary person? They naturally know how to choose. Even if the two families do not agree to the marriage, the other two will definitely have doubts in their hearts. I am afraid that those two people will have some private friendship with me in the future. In this way, suspicion breeds dark ghosts, how can this four-party alliance be stable? Since I have come today, no matter whether the marriage is successful or not, I have achieved my goal." The young man straightened his loose sleeves, "This Song and Xie are the most It's shrewd, the two must have thought of this, so they simply pushed the boat along and agreed to the matter."

Yin Zhibai leaned on the back, and said: "Song Rui only has one daughter. After he dies, the Taihang Song Clan will have many people staring at this position. What can happen to a woman? Now he is marrying his daughter to you. With the amulet, if he has a grandson in the future, won't the entire Song family still belong to his lineage? This person is a man who has matured! As for Xie Xiuping, he naturally thought of this, since the most powerful Song Rui has already left. If he still can't figure out this alliance circle, he is not worthy of being the head of the family, and the remaining two are nothing to worry about." Speaking of this, he looked at the people beside him: "It's just that there are two more out of nowhere. Wife, how do you arrange it?" Beitang Rong Du half closed his eyes, put his hand on his cheek, and said: "How to arrange? You can't expect me to treat them like Han Yan? Is this kind of marriage, nothing more than That's it, there are a few girls from the aristocratic family who are not doing things for the needs of the family, I will provide them with wealth and safety in Unsheltered Fort forever, that's all, it's just raising two more people, so it doesn't matter."

Yin Zhibai smiled and said: "In the final analysis, you will benefit the most in the end. With the help of the Song and Xie families in the future, you will be even more powerful." Beitang Rongdu opened his eyes and smiled at him, saying: "What do you say? .”

The wind was howling in the bamboo grove, the man was wearing a green robe, his black hair was untied, and the shadow of a scimitar in his hand was like a cold moon, flying flowers and shaking trees within a few feet around his body, he was scattered by the energy.

Standing in the distance, Beitang Rongdu watched the man complete a set of saber techniques, and then said: "Father..." Beitang Zun Yue turned around, the robe he was wearing was loosely wrapped around him, revealing most of his sturdy body. Chest, he walked over, looked at the boy and smiled: "Oh, I'm back so early." Smelling the smell of wine on Beitang Rongdu, he said, "Did you drink outside?"

Beitang Rongdu was dazzled by the blood-red pendant hanging on the man's chest, raised his hand and brushed his forehead hair, and said with a smile: "I met Yin Zhibai, and we had a few drinks together... things are done." He As he spoke, he took out a broken bamboo leaf from the man's hair and threw it away, saying: "I said that I would have dinner with dad in the evening, so I came back early." Beitang Zunyue didn't seem to care, just Glancing at the bright red plum on Beitang Rongdu's forehead, he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."
