Liu Yu stared at the black robe closely. At this distance, he was still absolutely sure that as long as he raised his bow, he could be killed with one arrow. During the question and answer just now, almost every
In terms of distance, before asking questions, he would carefully deduce all the possibilities of taking action at that time. Now the black robe is a hundred steps away, on the empty galloping road, there is only one person and one horse.
On an archery tower one hundred and fifty steps south of Chidao, Hu Fan kept bending his bow and nodding an arrow, and had already locked it. Liu Yu thought about it countless times, but he didn't think he had any chance of defeating the two great archery gods, Hu Fan and himself.
With the joint efforts of his men, it was impossible to escape from his men. What's more, three hundred steps behind him, Zhuge Changmin, straddling his horse and drawing a sword, with hundreds of capable subordinates, had blocked the middle of the road.
, even if Heipao was lucky enough to return home, he would never be able to break through Zhuge Changmin's defense on his own.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt relieved and said in a deep voice to the black robe: "This last question, is Tao Yuanming your subordinate? Has he been working for you or your Tiandao Alliance for so many years?"
The black robe looked at Liu Yu motionlessly, his eyes sparkling, but there was no hint of panic or surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he had already expected that Liu Yu would ask such a question. His white eyebrows raised slightly: "I'll just say
He is, or he is not, will you believe me?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "That depends on the next series of questions. I can't believe everything you say. It still needs to be tested and verified. However, I have a hunch that Tao Yuanming must be with you and your Heavenly Way.
The alliance has nothing to do with it!"
Heipao smiled slightly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Tao Yuanming was Wang Xun's subordinate in the past, and later switched to Huan Xuan. He was a member of the mafia, but he left the mafia in time. Now he is not the Shenmeng.
Middle man."
Liu Yu frowned: "What does this mean? He was originally a subordinate of the White Tiger Wang Xun in the mafia?"
The black robe nodded: "Yes, the White Tiger has always been the weakest among the four major guards of the Mafia, because when Huan Wen left the Mafia, he took away almost all the grain and ordnance of the White Tiger line, as well as the treasures. This
All the White Tigers after Huan Wen became useless. Yuzhou Governor Yuan Zhen briefly took over the White Tiger position, but he secretly sabotaged Huan Wen's Northern Expedition and deliberately failed to open up the Shimen Waterway, causing Huan Wen's defeat in front due to lack of food.
Just like Xie Xuan's Northern Expedition. However, although the three major guards, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and White Tiger, were jointly responsible for this matter, the specific operation was carried out by White Tiger Yuan Zhen, and he also had his own plans. He planned to take advantage of the situation after hacking Huan Wen.
Bring Jingzhou also to restore White Tiger's strength."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Is this why Huan Wen had to kill Yuan Zhen later?"
Heipao smiled and said: "Exactly, Huan Wen is a person who must avenge his grievances, and at that time he took Qinglong Xi Chao with him on the Northern Expedition. I thought that even if the mafia attacked him, it would not harm Xi Chao, but Bai Hu's approach,
He was still caught off guard, so Huan Wen had to kill Yuan Zhen first, and then send troops to Beijing to put pressure on the other two major guards and demonstrators. However, he also suffered a lot of losses in the process of killing Yuan Zhen, and Zhuque and Xuanwu
It did not stop him from taking revenge. In the end, after many compromises, Huan Wen gave up his dream of becoming an emperor and retreated to Jingzhou. And the position of White Tiger also fell into the hands of Wang Xun."
Liu Muzhi curled his lips: "Does Huan Wen know that Wang Xun is the White Tiger?"
The black robe shook his head: "He really doesn't know, because he is no longer a member of the mafia. Xi Chao later had the idea of betraying Huan Wen because he was captured by Murong Chui, and he did not tell him Bai Hu's successor.
Who only vaguely said that White Tiger was temporarily vacant. After Huan Wen died, Wang Xun did not have any capital to fight for Yuzhou and Jingzhou. He had served in Beijing for a long time, so he was able to contact the high-ranking families of major aristocratic families, but Xuanwu Xie An had his own
With a big heart, he took the opportunity to suppress Wang Xun even more, and even forced Wang Xun to divorce his two daughters and marry Wang Xianzhi's nephew. This is why Xuanwu wants to marry the Suzaku family and become invincible within the mafia."
Wang Miaoyin said in a deep voice: "Are you trying to say that my mother married my father for the same reason?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "Yes, Xie An is very cunning. He arranged it like this decades ago. He just recognized that Bai Hu was not strong enough and Qing Long was independent. As long as he win over Suzaku, he could be in power whether in the court or in the army.
The mafia was dominated by one family. He didn't know about our existence at that time, but he vaguely sensed that there were other powerful forces, but he kept his eyes on Xi Chao and Wang Xun, and suppressed them more.
Strictly guard against letting them have real power, let alone an army."
"In this case, Wang Xun couldn't find a suitable helper. The high-ranking family in Beijing was very powerful. Seeing that the Wang family couldn't do it, he turned to the more promising Wang Ningzhi and Xie An families. Wang Xun was forced to have only himself.
He went to personally explore talents, and Tao Yuanming was his unexpected discovery."
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "Heipao, are you making up a story? I have checked Tao Yuanming's resume countless times. How can you say that he has devoted himself to Wang Xun's shogunate like this? He only worked in Jingzhou and
I have held some positions in Jiangzhou such as offering sacrifices, being a doctor, and teaching edicts, but I have never been in Wang Xun's shogunate."
The black robe smiled and waved his hand: "How could you enter Wang Xun's shogunate openly like this? Isn't that just asking for help? Wang Xun was very forbearing back then and found a few seemingly inconspicuous helpers to become helpers. One
It was Tao Yuanming, one was Yin Zhongkan, and the other was Yang Quanqi, who had just moved south from Yongzhou to Jingzhou. Both Tao and Yin were Confucian scholars. Both families had glorious ancestors, but this generation has long since declined.
Therefore, it would not attract anyone's attention, and Yang Quanqi was regarded as a humble warrior, similar to Liu Laozhi, and was also despised by the Jiankang family. However, these three people were very capable and capable. With Wang Xun's secret support,
Just ten years later, there was a storm in Jingzhou!"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "So, Tao Yuanming has always been Wang Xun's subordinate? But why is his reputation not known after Yin Zhongkan became the governor?"
The black robe sneered: "Because Yin Zhongkan likes to fight for fame and wealth, pursues real power, and can't calm down. Although his Yin family has declined, it will not make Yin Zhongkan live a miserable life. But Tao Yuanming is different. He
He was born in a real country and has experienced all the sufferings in the world, so he is particularly tolerant and knows the truth about good and bad fortunes. Everything goes behind the scenes, and he is always observing, always ready to choose the path that is most beneficial to him.
