"It seems that junior brother, you have some 'personal matters' to take care of."
At this time, a gentle and soft voice came from behind Zhang Liang, interrupting his meditation.
Zhang Liang quickly and quietly put the intelligence letter into his sleeve, then immediately turned around to look at the visitor, showed a smile, and said hello, "Senior Brother Yan Lu."
The person coming is none other than Yan Lu, the second master of Little Sage Village.
The former Xiaoyan Lu now had a small beard that was not too thick under his chin. He looked much more mature than Gu Xun. He was wearing a light-colored Confucian school uniform. At first glance, he just felt that he was
As gentle as jade and as calm as smoke, it is completely unlike a common person in the world.
Because of the relationship between Gu Xun and Jing Sala, Yan Lu, the uncontested second-in-command of the Confucian family, rarely had some contact with Liusha. Therefore, when Zhang Liangchu came to Xiaoshengxian Manor, he took good care of him. The two of them
The relationship is also the most familiar.
Yan Lu has an indifferent and peaceful personality. It can be said that he doesn't care about anything and can laugh off almost everything. This made Zhang Liang very puzzled for a time.
Such a person should join Taoism - and he must be a Tianzong!
But over time, Zhang Liang got used to this senior brother who was almost incompatible with Confucianism.
What makes Zhang Liang most taboo is that although Yan Lu doesn't care about anything, his clear-minded nature allows him to easily see through everyone's deliberately hidden thoughts.
Even Zhang Liang often had his thoughts figured out when facing Yan Lu.
Of course, Yan Lu always sees things through without telling them.
However, although Yan Lu didn't say anything, Zhang Liang knew that he had seen something, and Yan Lu knew that Zhang Liang could tell that he had already seen it...
Forget it, I feel like I'm playing with a matryoshka... In short, everyone is in a state of tacit understanding, but for Zhang Liang, he still hopes that Yan Lu doesn't know anything more than tacit understanding.
Although Yan Lu and Liusha have some friendship.
Zhang Liang smiled faintly and responded to Yan Lu's first words, "I was just thinking about something and lost my mind for a moment, haha."
"Really?" Yan Lu never delved into other people's affairs, so he stopped talking. However, out of concern, he still vaguely reminded him, "Junior brother, do you know what the head brother has been worried about recently?" p>
Zhang Liang was stunned and immediately realized that Yan Lu was reminding him to be careful about his attitude towards the empire.
Calmly suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Zhang Liang calmly replied with a smile, "Senior Brother Head... I guess he is worried about the court's attitude towards Little Sage Village and Confucianism."
Yan Lu knew that Zhang Liang had already understood the type of his question, so he stopped talking. As for whether the other party would listen or not, that was beyond his control.
"Although His Majesty the Emperor has appointed a large number of Ph.D. officers with Confucian origins, almost all of their various political proposals have not been adopted."
"Confucian scholars have a lot of momentum, but their movements are not big."
"The empire's actions are becoming more and more impatient and violent. How we, the Confucians, should deal with ourselves at this time is a big problem." Yan Lu seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and his voice was calm without any fluctuation.
Zhang Liang's expression was also unconcerned, and he responded with a slight smile, "After all, Xiaoshengxianzhuang has no right to interfere in the affairs of the empire. In the best interests of the people, it is better to concentrate on studying."
"Ha!" Yan Lu pursed his lips and smiled, without making any judgment. He just patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Zhang Liang turned around and stopped in the lake pavilion, alone for a long time.
………………
Empire, Guanzhong, Taiyi Mountain, where the Taoist Mountain Gate is located.
The two sects of Heaven and Man also reacted to the actions of the Mohist giant.
Inside the Renzong Mountain Gate, Xiaoyaozi, the head of the Renzong, is wearing a light purple bamboo pattern gown, covered with a plain white Taoist robe embroidered with the entire "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyaoyou", holding the Taoist head's token, the Snow Ji Sword, in full To be armed means to go out.
In fact, he just wants to go out.
Compared with other anti-Qin forces, Xiaoyaozi has a good personal relationship with the Mohist giant. Naturally, he already knew Yan Dan's plan. At this time, he was arranging his manpower and preparing to take his disciples down the mountain.
Next to Xiaoyaozi, there was another person standing, a skinny old man with a slender face and a mustache under his chin, who looked very unseemly.
"Brother, headmaster, why are you going down the mountain now?" The old man stroked his beard and asked pretending to be curious.
"Oh, I'm just taking my disciples on a tour." Xiaoyaozi looked at the old man, deliberately concealing the facts, and prevaricated.
"Really?" The old man chuckled, "This season is not a good time to go down the mountain for a trip."
"The empire seems to be going to war again, and I don't know how much turmoil it will cause in the Central Plains!"
Xiaoyaozi smiled grandly, stroked his gray beard with his hand, and replied loudly, "Haha, Junior Brother Mu Xuzi, if everything is peaceful and everything is normal, why should I take my disciple down the mountain for a trip?"
At this time, a disciple of the Renzong ran over and said, "Master, the disciples are all ready and can leave the mountain at any time."
Xiaoyaozi, who didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Mu Xuzi, took advantage of the situation and said, "Then...junior brother, I won't talk to you anymore."
A few strange colors flashed in Mu Xuzi's eyes, but the smile on his face did not change. He waved his hand and said, "Brother, please take it easy, I won't disturb you anymore."
"Haha, okay." Xiaoyaozi nodded and smiled, then left with his disciples.
Mu Xuzi stood there, stroking his mustache, squinting at Xiaoyaozi who was walking away, and murmured to himself, "Xiaoyaozi, Xiaoyaozi, it's not enough for you to become the head of a person who has just started.
Do you have to bring the entire human sect to a dead end for your own selfish desires?"
"Will there be a good outcome if you go against the empire!?"
The more he talked to himself, the more ferocious Mu Xuzi's expression became. After a while, he calmed down and left with his hands behind his back.
On the other side of Taiyi Mountain, the usually calm Tianzong also had slight ripples.
A Tianzong disciple took a letter and found the elder who was currently in charge of the affairs temporarily, Xu Yanzi.
"Uncle Xu Yanzi." The Tianzong disciple looked at Xu Yanzi, who was sitting quietly on the futon, closing his eyes and meditating, and shouted softly.
Hearing the call that was clearly directed at him, Xu Yanzi finally opened his eyes and looked up at the disciple standing in front of him.
"This was just sent by the Mo family." As he said that, the Tianzong disciple handed over the letter.
Xu Yanzi opened the result letter without saying a word, and quickly browsed through the contents. His expression did not change at all. After reading it, he immediately handed it back and then ordered, "Throw it away later." p>
"Oh." This Tianzong disciple didn't care about anything. He reached out to take it, responded calmly, and turned around to leave.
But at this time, a trace of confusion flashed in Xu Yanzi's eyes, and he stopped him, "Wait a minute, has Renzong received such a letter?"
"This...disciple doesn't know, so I have to ask."
Although they don't get along well with Renzong, Tianzong disciples rarely take the initiative to inquire about Renzong's affairs.
There used to be a disciple who liked to do this, but unfortunately he became less active later.
