Chasing the gods in Zongwudang

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, an isolated city of Wanren Mountain, why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows, and the spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass.

After Lu Cheng left the study, Ye Gucheng in white came slowly.

"Mr. Ye!"

Seeing Ye Gucheng appear, Nanwang greeted him politely.

Ye Gucheng nodded slightly, "My lord!"

Seeing that Ye Gucheng had no intention of leaving, Nan Wang got up and walked to Ye Gucheng, "Mr. Ye is not behind to teach the son, why did you come to my king's study, is it because you want to see me!"

These words are purely joking, Ye Gucheng's nominal identity is the teacher of Shi Zi, but in fact he is Nan Wang's helper, more precisely, he is Nan Wang's partner.

Human beings are not plants, trees, bamboos and rocks, whether it is family affection, friendship, love reconciliation, hatred, goals, or desires. As long as people have what they want, they can cooperate.

Nanwang is a respected uncle Wang, while Ye Gucheng is just a mere commoner, and the two of them would never have met.

As a prince, apart from not being able to leave the fief without authorization, the Nanwang wants wind to win wind and rain to win rain. People in the rivers and lakes dare not offend people in the court, and he is already one of the few people who sit at the top of the Central Plains. one.

And Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City in the South China Sea, has excellent swordsmanship and is known as one of the top swordsmen under the innate master.

A person like him should be a white cloud in the sky, sitting and watching the storms in the world, without touching the world of mortals.

But he happened to become the teacher of the son, and came to the world from the sky.

He wants something.

"Lu Cheng killed Jin Jiuling, which was beyond my expectation." Ye Gucheng watched Lu Cheng out of sight, and then said lightly.

"Sir, what you said is right!" Nan Wang nodded in agreement, "Jin Jiuling got Yi Shuige, and his swordsmanship is not much worse than that of Mr. three years ago. This Lu Cheng is only first-rate, except for a fight with Jin Jiuling, he took advantage of it. In addition, in the follow-up duel, he does not have an advantage."

Ye Gucheng said: "The result is that he won!"

Nan Wang said with a smile: "That can only be said that he is lucky, or that Jin Jiuling showed mercy to his subordinates."

Ye Gucheng shook his head slightly, disapproving of Nanwang's words.

"I have also read Yi Shuige. After practicing, he can quickly improve the strength of the sword, but he has gone astray and entered the way of killing. Jin Jiuling's temperament has changed a lot in the past few months. It is because he cannot control the sword, but is affected by the sword. With his own temperament, under such circumstances, he will not be merciful when he fights with Lu Cheng."

Nan Wang shrugged. As a prince, he knew some martial arts, but he didn't go deep into it. He couldn't understand when communicating with a master of martial arts like Ye Gucheng.

"I heard from my subordinates that Jin Jiuling died under a flying knife. It should be a sneak attack. Aunt Gongsun fought with Jin Jiuling just now, which attracted his attention, so he relaxed his vigilance, and was successfully attacked by Lu Cheng."

Ye Gucheng was silent, his expression was stern, his eyes were like stars in the sky, lonely and distant.

"If it's a sneak attack, it can only be said that Jin Jiuling was too careless. I'm just worried that even if Jin Jiuling tries his best to deal with this knife, he still can't block or dodge it."

Nan Wang opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

"There is such a powerful sword technique in the world that can let Lu Cheng's strength surpass Jin Jiuling's challenge? This is incredible!"

Seeing that Ye Gucheng didn't answer, Nan Wang asked curiously, "What kind of saber technique is this? Can I borrow it for a look?"

The meaning of "borrowing" that Nanwang said is rather strange.

If the owner agrees, it is naturally a normal loan. If the owner does not agree, then this loan is a forced loan, and there are those who do not repay the loan.

Ye Gucheng said: "There is only one person in the world who is so skilled in flying knives."

Nan Wang asked, "Who is it?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Li Xunhuan!"

"Li Xunhuan, why is it him?"

Nan Wang was very surprised. He thought that the holder of such martial arts should be a complete quack.But why Li Xunhuan?

Different from ordinary Jianghu people, Li Xunhuan's ancestral home is Baoding, a family of seven Jinshi, father and son three times.The Baoding Li family he belonged to was a prominent local family, enjoying a clear reputation in the imperial court and in Shilin.

Don't say that he is the prince now, even if he is the emperor now, he can't attack such a person at will.

Ye Gucheng nodded, "I heard that he is now going to the capital to report on his duties and became the editor of the Imperial Academy. What a pity! If he studies hard here, he will definitely have the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future."

Nan Wang was speechless.

This is the difference between the imperial court and the Jianghu people. As the prince of the imperial court, Nan Wang felt that what Li Xun Huan did was right.After staying in the noble yamen of the Imperial Academy for a few years, it will be the start of the magistrate in the future. With the status of the Imperial Academy, as long as he does not make mistakes in principle, he will be promoted for a small promotion in three years and a big promotion in ten years. The end of his official career is Six ministers or cabinet ministers, this is beyond the reach of many scholars.

But Ye Gucheng thinks that what Li Xunhuan did is a waste of his talent.If he devotes himself to cultivation, he will definitely become a martial arts master in the future, which is no better than being in court.

Fortunately, Nan Wang also knows that 'everyone has his own aspirations'. Compared with people like Li Xunhuan who have stepped into official careers, he now prefers to deal with pure people in Ye Gucheng.

"Once Jin Jiuling dies, there will be a vacancy for the four great arresters of the six schools. Does Mr. Ye have any ideas? If Mr. Ye is willing, with his strength, it will be easy to become a arrester." Nan Wang asked.

Ye Gucheng shook his head, "I don't want to be here. If the prince wants to be the god catcher, he can recommend his own people to go up."

Nan Wang smiled, not commenting on this statement.

Shenzhu sits in one side, and although his rank is not high in the court, his power belongs to the level of the feudal officials.Taking Jinling Shenchuang as an example, when Jin Jiuling was in power, he had the power to govern and manage the personnel of the six sects in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and ordinary personnel appointments could be decided with one word.

For this position, Nan Wang was very envious.But he knows what it means to have something to give.

Although the position of the god catcher is good, compared to his future plans, it is very different, and it is a little bit insignificant.

Nan Wang shot with all his strength, and of course he could take the position of the god catcher in his hands.But doing so will also be feared by the emperor and the court.Once he attracted the attention of these people, maybe Zhuge Zhengwo of the Shenhou Mansion would send his disciples to Jiangnan to investigate him.

To seek great things, but to live.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

The position of King Nan was already disliked by the emperor, and what suits him best is to hide his strength and bide his time, and try his best to reduce his presence in the court and the emperor.

"I don't have many masters under my lord. Since my husband doesn't want to be a catcher, then I have an idea!"

Ye Gucheng said calmly: "My lord, please tell me!"

From coming in just now to now, Ye Gucheng's face has not shown any big fluctuations in expression.Even asking is like a routine.

Nan Wangdao: "Since Guo Juxia led his disciples to sweep up the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea a few years ago, and all his disciples died, the strength of the six sects has declined sharply. Now there are only a few people who are qualified to be god arresters. They were not gods before. An arrester, even if I think about it now. So the position of the god arrester will most likely fall on Lu Cheng."

"he?"

Hearing what Nan Wang said, Ye Gucheng was slightly stunned, "As far as I know, this Lu Cheng has not been in the Six Doors for a long time, so what he said is unlikely!"

Nan Wang smiled and said, "The fact that Lu Cheng joined the Six Doors for a short time is a shortcoming in the eyes of Mr. Ye, but in the eyes of this king, it is a great advantage."

"My lord, please tell me!" Ye Gucheng was not curious about what he knew.But for things he doesn't know, he will also be humble and eager to learn, and it is also like this that he can become the current Ye Gucheng.

Seeing Ye Gucheng's initiative to ask, Nanwang was in a good mood immediately.

Seeing Ye Gucheng's indifferent attitude of doing nothing before, if he didn't know that he had needs, Nan Wang would have thought he was begging him!Now Ye Gucheng also doesn't understand something, Nan Wang is very happy.

"It's been less than a month since Lu Cheng entered the Six Doors. He first investigated the Fuwei Escort's extermination case, and then found out the Embroidery Robbery case that has not been solved for more than a month. Just these, he surpassed ninety-nine percent of the people in the Six Doors. He has not joined the Six Doors for a long time, if he changes places, someone will step down from the position of god arrester, and his hope is not great, but in Jiangnan today, his hope is far higher than others."

"Jin Jiuling has been in the position of Jiangnan god arrester for ten years. He managed Jiangnan like an iron bucket, and it was difficult for others to intervene. In the end, Jin Jiuling died as an embroidered thief. For the sake of the stability of the world, the court will not spread this news. .”

Ye Gucheng's face was normal, but there was a trace of disgust in his eyes, "boring behavior."

King Nan disagreed with this statement, but he would not distinguish it from Ye Gucheng.

"After knowing about Jin Jiuling, the Emperor and God Catcher will definitely doubt whether Jiangnan Martial Arts will make any mistakes. Nowadays, the people who are qualified to be God Catchers in the Six Sects are all old guys who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years. In such a situation Now, the emperor and Catcher don't trust them as much as a newcomer like Lu Cheng."

"In the case of the Fuwei Escort, Lu Cheng offended Song Fengguan in Qingcheng Mountain, so Yu Canghai can barely be regarded as the leader of the faction, no matter what, he needs to have a few friends. Will Fanmen make a move on Matsukaze Kan?"

"In the case of the Embroidered Thief, Jin Jiuling died, but Lu Cheng survived. These head catchers who were promoted by Jin Jiuling will definitely not have one heart with him."

"These two cases are both good and bad for Lu Cheng, but for the imperial court, they are completely good things. After offending Songfeng Temple, Lu Cheng has something to do with Jiangnan martial arts. There is no harmony with Jiangnan's six gates. , which makes him rely on the imperial court wholeheartedly, if this king chooses, the position of Jiangnan god catcher must belong to him."

Ye Gucheng frowned, "I didn't expect that there would be so many things involved in the position of a god arrester."

Speaking of being smart, Ye Gucheng is naturally a smart person that few people in the world can match.But he put all his wisdom on the way of the sword, those intrigues are purely a waste of his energy for him, so he will rely on his own sword to solve the problem most of the time.

It's not that he's not smart, but that he didn't waste his time on it.

Based on the rivers and lakes, Ye Gucheng's idea is very simple.Ren Er has all kinds of calculations, whether he can defeat us with a single sword.

As long as my sword is strong enough, any calculation is a paper tiger, and he can break it with one sword.

When it comes to things he is good at, Nan Wang is out of control. He likes to talk about things he doesn't understand in front of Ye Gucheng.

"In addition to the two points just mentioned, Lu Cheng's identity is also indispensable for the emperor."

Ye Gucheng was puzzled: "It is said that Lu Cheng was born as an orphan. What kind of status can he have? Could it be that he is the illegitimate son of Catcher."

"Ha ha!"

Nanwang Dale, "Why would Mr. Ye have such an idea? What I'm talking about is that Lu Cheng learned Jingtao Palm, so he has a constant relationship with Guo Juxia. Whether it is the emperor or Catcher, they don't want Guo Juxia to be decadent. Ask about world affairs. So they will definitely push Lu Cheng's identity to Guo Juxia. As long as Guo Juxia agrees, then Lu Cheng will become a god catcher, and no one will criticize him."

"boring!"

Ye Gucheng commented, and then cupped his fists at Nan Wang, "My lord, I'm going back to teach the prince first."

"Sir, wait a moment!"

Stretching out his hand to stop Ye Gucheng, looking at his slightly puzzled eyes, Nanwang said: "Yesterday, Mr. stabbed Lu Xiaofeng with a sword. This king is very curious about Mr.'s current state, what level has he reached?"

Originally Nanwang would not pay attention to a guy like Lu Xiaofeng, he thought that he would never have any contact with Lu Xiaofeng in his life.And yesterday Lu Xiaofeng was investigating the Embroidery Robbery case, he visited the palace at night, and was stabbed by a room in Ye Gucheng, so this morning, Nanwang had Lu Xiaofeng's information in front of him.

Looking at the person who rated Lu Xiaofeng in the newspaper as having touched the threshold of a master, he has not suffered any serious injuries in the world for many years.As a result, he was seriously injured by Ye Gucheng's sword, which made Nan Wang very curious about Ye Gucheng's strength.

Because the matter of cooperation between Nan Wang and Ye Gucheng is that Nan Wang's mansion will use resources to promote Ye Gucheng to be an innate master, and Ye Gucheng will also assist Nan Wang to complete his plan at an appropriate time.

Facing Nan Wang's eagerness, Ye Gucheng's face remained unchanged.

"My lord, I feel that I have taken a step towards being a congenital master, so I can seriously injure Lu Xiaofeng with one sword."

"Then..." Nan Wang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Gucheng.

"Your Majesty, I am not a complete Xiantian Grandmaster yet. Facing someone like Lu Xiaofeng who has not entered Xiantian, I can seriously wound him with a single sword. But there will be at least two or even three Xiantian Grandmasters in the palace. With my current strength, at most I can Stop one person, if the prince can find a way to block the rest, then this matter can be planned."

Nan Wang was silent.

He originally thought that Ye Gucheng had already become a congenital master, but he didn't expect that he was still one step away.

This step can be described as a natural moat.

"In this case, we can only wait for a while longer!" Since Ye Gucheng has not reached the level of the master, Nanwang can only choose to continue dormant.

"In that case, I will take my leave first!"

Ye Gucheng said something simply, then turned and left.

When Ye Gucheng walked away, Nanwang let out a long sigh.

"Hey!"

"Dragon can be big or small, it can rise and hide: the big one can make clouds and mist, the small one can hide its shape; the rising one can soar among the universe, and the one hidden one can hide in the waves. The spring is deep now, and the dragon changes with time. , just like a man who achieves his ambition and travels across the world, the dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world!"

"Son, the time has not come yet!"
