Chasing the gods in Zongwudang

Taibai Building, the entrance of private rooms on the second floor.

"Li Tanhua, Lu Butou!"

When Lu Cheng and Li Xunhuan were about to enter the room, a call came from the side.

Lu Cheng turned his head and saw three people standing not far away.

One has a calm face and looks slightly melancholy, the other has a clear face and a smile, and the other has a stern face with sharp eyes like knives.After looking at the three of them, Lu Cheng's eyes fell on the beautiful 'Young Master' in the middle.

"Lord Shangguan, who are these two?" Lu Cheng asked in his mouth, and he had already confirmed the identities of these two people.

Duan Tianya, the secret agent of Hulong Villa's word "Heaven", and Guihai, the secret agent of "Di" character of Hulong Villa.The former came back from studying art in Japan, while the latter broke out from the Ruthless Villa, and is a swordsman who comprehended the profound meaning of "Rueling Slash" by himself.

"Lu Butou, this is Duan Tianya, and this is Guihai Yidao." Shangguan Haitang introduced the two to Lu Cheng.

"Captain Lu!" Duan Tianya and Gui Hai saluted Lu Cheng with a salute.

Lu Cheng made a sudden realization, "It turns out that it is the beloved general of the God of Tiedan, Duan Tianya, the secret agent of the word 'Heaven' from Hulong Villa, and Gui Haiyidao, the secret agent of the word 'Earth', in the next six gates Lu Cheng, it is a pleasure to meet the two. bit."

Without waiting for the other party's response, Li Xun Huan suddenly said: "The Hulong Villa has been outside the city, it's a blessing to see three spies gathered here at the same time inside the capital!"

Before Lu Cheng understood what he meant, he saw Shangguan Haitang's complexion changed slightly, and quickly explained: "Li Tanhua, Hulong Villa has set up four spies, and there is still a lack of spies with the word 'yellow'. The three of us are Received a mission and came here for it.”

Li Xun Huan nodded, his face didn't change much, but it made the three people opposite him a little confused.

"I heard that the No. [-] village in the world gathers the best talents in all aspects in the world. Haitang, as the owner of the villa, don't tell me you can't satisfy God's request with so many firsts?"

Li Xunhuan forced Shangguan Haitang with words again and again, and finally forced Gui Hai to stab him. He took a step forward with murderous intent, "Hmph! It's none of your business!"

"Yi Dao, shut up!" Duan Tianya stretched out his hand to pull Gui Hai Yi Dao, but Gui Hai Yi Dao dodged it.

"One knife, stop talking!"

Shangguan Haitang persuaded him, and at the same time used lightness kung fu to stand between Guihai Yidao and Li Xunhuan, "Li Tanhua, Yidao is a pure Jianghu man, please forgive me for offending him!"

Hearing what Shangguan Haitang said, Guihai Yidao was sulking, but he didn't continue to say anything, just stood there with an upset expression.

Li Xun Huan waved his hand lightly, "It's okay, I have met many people from Jiang Hu before, and I understand their temperament. It's just..." Li Xun Huan's tone became a little inexplicable when he said this, "The three of you are the court officials. Secret agent, you should know that there are some things that can be done and some things that cannot be done. Since the establishment of the No. [-] village in the world, a lot of money has been spent, but no great achievements have been seen. There is only one name there. Several adults are very dissatisfied with this .”

"Thank you Li Tanhua for the tip!" Shangguan Haitang clasped her fists in salute, then pulled Duan Tianya and Gui Hai away quickly.

After the three of them entered the private room, Li Xunhuan walked into the room under Lu Cheng's surprised eyes.

……

'Crack! '

The door was closed, Duan Tianya checked carefully, and then asked: "Haitang, what did Li Tanhua mean just now?"

In the past few years, Duan Tianya has been studying martial arts in Dongying. Apart from being prudent and able to spy on information, he is not much different from ordinary Jianghu people.But Shangguan Haitang is different, she studied under Mr. Wuhen, she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and she also dabbles in the art of intrigue.

Shangguan Haitang frowned and thought for a while before replying: "Li Tanhua is reminding us!"

Tips?

Duan Tianya thought for a while, and found that he didn't quite understand the matter, so he continued to ask: "How could it be a point? I feel that there is more threat?"

Shangguan Haitang said: "In the beginning, it was indeed a threat. The capital is full of fish and dragons. The inner city has Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the outer city has Six Gates and Shuntian Mansion. Hulong Villa is outside the city. It is said that we should take precautions outside the capital. Now that the three of us have come to the capital without reporting, it is somewhat taboo."

"So that's the case!" Duan Tianya nodded in understanding.

But he didn't know that Shangguan Haitang thought of a deeper meaning than this.

Hulong Mountain Villa can compete against Dongchang and Jinyiwei on some levels because of the Iron God Hou Zhu's disregard, but also because of his status as the emperor's uncle, his status in the emperor's heart will never catch up with Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

These restraints on Hulong Villa are all based on the fact that the owner of this villa is the God of Tiedan.

After thinking about it for a while, Duan Tianya continued to ask: "Is it just a reminder?"

Shangguan Haitang said: "Li Tanhua's main meaning is that the existence of the world's No. [-] village has displeased several ministers in the court. His meaning is naturally that he hopes that we can remove the 'Tianxia No. [-] village' in advance, or we can think of something A way to keep the adults from asking about this matter."

"It's easy!" Gui Hai Yidao's eyes lit up, "Give me the list, I'll visit them one by one, I believe they will be safe."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Shangguan Haitang, even Duan Tianya understood Guihai's plan.

"Yidao, if you dare to do this, let alone the number one villa in the world, maybe even Hulong Villa will be abolished, so don't be fooled!"

Shangguan Haitang said: "Threatening officials of the imperial court is regarded as treason, and we will all be imprisoned in the sky prison to wait for punishment."

Seeing that his proposal was rejected, Gui Hai went straight to the window and stood leaning against the wall.

Duan Tianya said: "Isn't Wansanqian, the No. [-] village in the world, subsidizing Haitang to build it? It didn't use a penny from the imperial court. Why do these adults hold on to this matter?"

"It's because the No. [-] village in the world doesn't use a penny from the imperial court, so these big people don't feel relieved!" Looking at the ignorant Duan Tianya, and Gui Hai Yi Dao who was ready to strike at the slightest disagreement, Shangguan Haitang was very tired.

"Why?" Duan Tianya didn't understand.

In his heart, the No. [-] village in the world didn't use the money of the court, but could still serve the court. Those adults should wake up from their dreams with a smile. Why don't they like it!

Isn't this sick?

Shangguan Haitang wanted to explain to the two of them, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips, "I will report this matter to my foster father, let's ask my foster father to make up my mind!"

"In addition, the purpose of our coming to the capital is to find the real murderer who killed the 'Unbeaten Naughty Boy' Gu Santong. Let's do this first!"

……

"Old Li, what kind of taboo did the No. [-] village in the world commit, and asked you to say this to Shangguan Haitang!" After several people sat down, Lu Cheng asked Li Xunhuan.

Lin Shiyin next to him took the initiative to make tea, and with the fragrance of the tea, Li Xunhuan spoke.

"The No. [-] Village in the World has been a taboo since its name. The previous adults did not express their attitudes. They just wanted to see what Tie Dan Shenhou wanted to do and who was supporting him. The No. [-] Village in the World discovered it in the past few years. Most of the talents are in name only, and they can really be put into practice, and can contribute to the court and the world. There are very few talents, and their merits are greater than their merits. Apart from consuming a lot of silver, they are not of much use. The number one village in the world is closed."

Lu Cheng thought for a moment, and admired the actions of these court officials.

Zhu Wushi wanted to establish the 'No. [-] village in the world' in order to increase his reputation, erect a golden body for himself, and keep himself undefeated in the next struggle.

And the elders of the imperial court saw this for sure. Not only did they test out that the person standing beside Zhu Wushi was "Wan Sanqian", but they also used the establishment of the world's No. [-] village to investigate whether there were too many usefulness.Without spending a penny, he ruled out a wrong approach for himself, which is simply a model of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"Cousin, isn't there such strange people as 'The World's No. [-] Hercules', 'The World's No. [-] Scholar', and 'The World's No. [-] Dionysus' in the No. [-] Village? Why are they so useless?" Lin Shiyin wondered. asked.

Li Xunhuan smiled at Lin Shiyin, and then explained: "The so-called number one warrior in the world is just a little bit stronger. It would be good to build the city wall and do some hard work. The number one scholar in the world is a nerd and only memorizes by rote." If you don’t understand the profound meaning of the words in the book, you can’t even be a good teacher, so you are not as useful as the world’s number one strongman! As for the world’s number one Dionysus, besides drinking, he has no other uses. "

"This matter, when I was studying in the Hanlin Academy, I also listened to the discussion of the adults, and finally came to the conclusion that the harm outweighs the benefit, and it is useless to the country."

Speaking of this, Li Xun Huan felt a little helpless, "It's also because I know martial arts that the bosses want to pass on this matter to Hulong Villa through me."

Doing so, apart from making the relationship between Li Xunhuan and Hulong Villa not so good, there is no other harm.

It also avoided disputes in the court because of this incident, saved the face of the Tiedan God, and also saved the face of the court.

The imperial court will be afraid of Tie Dan Shenhou, but they will not attack him for no reason.Now in the land of the Central Plains, every state and province has fiefdoms of princes, especially the Southern King, who is the emperor's biggest worry.Compared with the princes in these places, the existence of the God of Tiedan Hou Hulong Villa is not a threat.

"Is the Imperial Academy so idle?" Lu Cheng approached, "Aren't you compiling the Dao Cang? Why do you still have time to discuss these things?"

Li Xun Huan said speechlessly: "Compiling Dao Cang is my normal job, do you think I have nothing else to do in the Imperial Academy besides compiling Dao Cang?"

Lu Cheng asked back: "Isn't it?"

Li Xunhuan's eyes fell on Lin Shiyin and Liu Jing, seeing the two girls nodding in agreement with Lu Cheng's words at the same time, he could only roll his eyes helplessly.

"Co-authoring the Hanlin Academy is a place for the elderly in your hearts!"

"If it's really what you think it is, that's great!"

"The imperial court holds an imperial examination every three years. Only the champion, the second place, and Tanhua can directly enter the Imperial Academy. The other second-tier and third-tier Jinshi need to pass the examination before they are eligible to enter the Imperial Academy. Don't think that entering the Imperial Academy is enough It’s time to dawdle, everyone here has to choose a job, just like I chose to compile Daozang. In addition to their job, several academicians in charge of the Imperial Academy will also check their personal progress from time to time. Facts and policy formulation will also be debated in the Imperial Academy."

"It can be said that when I entered the Imperial Academy, I was always in the environment of assessment. Several academicians in charge of the academy will recommend suitable people to take up positions when there are official vacancies in the imperial court based on the performance of us."

After listening to what Li Xunhuan said, Lin Shiyin looked at Li Xunhuan tenderly.

"Cousin, it's really hard work for you."

Li Xunhuan grabbed Lin Shiyin's slender hand, "For our family, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it."

For the show of affection between the two, Lu Cheng pretended not to see it, and was analyzing the matter in his heart.

From the attitude of the Imperial Academy to Hulong Villa, we can infer the current emperor's view of Hulong Villa.This time the abolition of the "No. [-] Village in the World" must be a blow to Zhu's disregard.

In the past few years since the establishment of the No. [-] Village in the World, it has been established in a hurry, attracting many people from all walks of life to join in the fun.According to what Li Xun Huan said, it is not difficult to see that truly powerful people simply dismiss the so-called 'number one in the world'.

It's like the number one strongman in the world, at most he knows some body training methods, plus his own talent.And if you really want to talk about strength, the hidden innate masters of various sects, that is not the existence of strength, how could it be his turn to be the number one strongman in the world.

"Cousin, if you tell the people in Hulong Villa, will it affect you?" Lin Shiyin never slacks off when it comes to caring about Li Xunhuan.

And Li Xunhuan looked at the worried Lin Shiyin, smiled and comforted him: "Cousin, there will be some influence, but it's not serious! I'm just passing on this matter to the adults. As for the result and how to do it next, these things have nothing to do with it. I have nothing to do with it, I just need to compose the Dao Sutra with peace of mind."

Lu Cheng silently nodded, agreeing with this statement.

After all, Li Xun Huan is also a member of the Hanlin Academy, and he was not in charge of this matter, and he would not be blamed for it.Unless Tie Dan Shenhou intends to bloodbath the Hanlin Academy, otherwise he can only submit obediently.

In this matter, the Hanlin Academy had the intention of suppressing the God of Tiedan, but it was not just talking nonsense and without evidence.

According to the actual evidence here, the best way for Zhu to ignore it is to send someone to communicate with the Imperial Academy to minimize his influence on this matter.

As for whether it is possible to make a few elders withdraw their views on abolishing the "No. [-] Village in the World", it is impossible to even think about it.

When these words were uttered from the mouths of several elders, they were judged, and the powerful ministers of the imperial court and the emperor must have given some instructions.Even in the end, through Li Xun Huan's mouth, telling God Tie Dan the matter was a plan.

What Lu Cheng can think of and analyze, should be far from the calculations behind these people.Lu Cheng didn't need or need to think about those things.

What he has to do now is to hurry up and improve his own strength, the calculations in court are still far away from him.
