The owl's head turned 360 degrees, staring at Xie Lingyun, shaking its wings, and said: "Of course I know, I am looking for a way out for myself. In this way, you will be dead.
There’s no need to worry that no one will take care of me, so I can leave with peace of mind, right?”
"you you!"
Xie Lingyun covered his chest with one hand, as if he was angry at Gugu's remarks, but in fact that was not the case. Instead, after hearing Gugu's words, he felt a turmoil in his heart.
Su Wen didn't understand his demon pet, but he understood it very well.
Gugu will not speak easily unless there is something of interest or something very important happens. On many key matters, what Gugu said is even prophetic to a certain extent.
It is precisely because Gugu once said that he can find the forbidden object Tian-09 that he is so determined and has been planning this object for twenty years.
What's frustrating is that Gugu's prediction didn't come true.
But Xie Lingyun did not doubt Gugu's prophetic ability. After all, the forbidden object Tian-09 was too powerful, and Gugu could not accurately predict its fate.
But... it wouldn't be very difficult for Gugu to predict his life and death.
"You mean...I'm doomed?"
After Xie Lingyun waited for his heartbeat to calm down, he calmly asked Gugu.
Su Wen pursed his lips and said nothing, not wanting to get involved in the conversation between Xie Lingyun and the owl. If the owl could really judge Xie Lingyun's fate, knowing that his time was short, Xie Lingyun might be so mad that he would be buried with him.
"Gugu..."
At this time, Gugu did not continue to speak human words. He called out quickly in a low voice, walked up to Su Wen's side, followed Su Wen's example, pressed his body against the stone wall, and closed his eyes.
In the huge cave, the only sounds left were the crackling sound of the campfire and Xie Lingyun's turbid and rapid breathing.
"Thank you, Sir, you are upset."
Listening to Xie Lingyun's rapid breathing, Su Wen was worried that Xie Lingyun would not be able to withstand the pressure of death at this time, so he attacked him first, and then quickly explained to him: "How can you listen to an owl when it comes to matters of life and death... If you only think about it...
Leave, the inner factory can't keep you... I hope you don't further anger Uncle Liu and the others..."
The so-called further anger is to kill him.
It's just that Su Wen didn't want to name him. If he didn't explain it, Xie Lingyun didn't think of killing him at all. Instead, he offered a choice, which was to kill himself and not blame others.
Xie Lingyun was a deep man in the city, so he couldn't hear Su Wen's implication. He smiled coldly: "Haha... don't worry, as long as you don't do anything stupid, I won't hurt your life unless it's absolutely necessary."
Su Wen shrugged his shoulders and sighed secretly. He wanted to do something, but how could he, a rank one rookie, have the ability to deal with a rank four boss? Even if Xie Lingyun was physically and mentally frustrated now, it was not something he could handle.
, even a sneak attack has no chance. Ordinary swords may not be able to cut through Xie Lingyun's oily skin, let alone his bare hands at this time... Hey, it seems like a knife is carved on his body?
Su Wen calmly touched his chest. In the inner pocket of his clothes, the carving knife exuded a special warmth and coolness. If he didn't consciously feel it, he wouldn't feel its existence at all.
"Don't do stupid things!"
Even though he had the carving knife, Su Wen had no intention of doing anything to Xie Lingyun.
Force is the last and most helpless option. His best option is to do nothing and wait for rescue from the inner factory.
After these days, he also knew that the internal factory headquarters had sent many masters to arrest Xie Lingyun. One of them used secret techniques to hide on the top of the carriage, but he did not know what happened. When Xie Lingyun appeared, this master did not
Didn't show up.
Maybe he's playing a long game to catch the big fish?
At this time, Su Wen could only think like this.
"Xie Governor... you are not actually a political strategist, are you?"
Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little heavy, Su Wen decided to change the topic in order not to further irritate Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun took out a bottle of potion from the package hidden in the cave, hesitated for a few seconds, a look of pain appeared on his face, and finally raised his head and drank the potion inside.
This bottle of secret medicine was enough to treat his injuries, and even the effect was far beyond his needs, but it was also inexplicably precious. If the owl hadn't given him the shadow of death, it would have been impossible for him to be willing to use it at this time.
This bottle is a secret medicine to save your life at critical moments.
"Oh, how do you say this?"
Xie Lingyun licked his lips carefully to prevent any waste of the potion. After taking a breath, he glanced at Su Wen and responded to Su Wen's question.
"Your behavior...doesn't look like a politician."
Su Wen hesitated for a moment before speaking.
He suddenly realized that talking about this topic might lead to bad results.
He couldn't say that Xie Lingyun's plan and behavior were too clumsy and far from the legendary political strategist. It really insulted the name of a political strategist.
"Haha...Wang Shen told you, right?"
Xie Lingyun said coldly: "He actually revealed my background to you."
"Uh...ah? Really?!"
The corner of Su Wen's mouth twitched. He wanted to ask who Wang Shen was, but then he thought of the name Xie Lingyun called out when he saw Wang Yushi before, and thought to himself, that's it.
He originally thought it was strange why Wang Shen kept supporting Xie Lingyun, even though the evidence was clear and conclusive. What was the reason?
The case was finally solved. They are all scholars who uphold the knowledge of famous scholars. Since they are from the same school, they have often formed cliques in the past. If something goes wrong, they must support them.
It's just... Xie Lingyun and Wang Shen are almost the same age, but Xie Lingyun is already the boss of sequence four, but Wang Shen is still lingering in sequence two. The gap between the two is really too big, right?
"It has nothing to do with him... It's just that I feel that your behavior is not consistent with that of a political advisor."
"...How do you say this?" Xie Lingyun thought about it carefully and didn't feel that his words and deeds had revealed anything, so he was very curious. He looked down on Su Wen's strength, but he never underestimated Su Wen's talent.
A person who speaks well and speaks easily will never have low achievements.
He could even conclude that Su Wen would not encounter obstacles before Sequence 5, but there might be a bottleneck when he reaches Sequence 6, the sub-sage level of Confucianism.
But among the thousands of extraordinary people in the world, how many can reach Sequence Five? Xie Lingyun himself has only reached Sequence Four. Sequence Five is still an unattainable goal for him now.
"Also, I am no longer a governor, just call me by my name..."
Xie Lingyun touched his gray beard and sighed.
"How should I put it... In my opinion, political strategists prefer to make plans, coordinate and encourage others to do things, and how can they end up personally... At least entering the spiritual prison is not like what a political strategist does."
Su Wen expressed his analysis.
In fact, Su Wen doesn't know any political strategists in this world, and he doesn't have much insight into their behavior. His impression of political strategists is nothing more than the likes of Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, and Sima Cuo. In fact,
, the political strategists he was familiar with were not just good talkers. For example, Sima Cuo once led troops to destroy Shu, and he was also a big boss who pushed Chu and Wei to the ground and rubbed them hard.
"That makes sense."
Xie Lingyun nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Actually, you are wrong. I am indeed a strategist, but I am not a pure strategist. My extraordinary sequence started with the famous master, but starting from the second sequence, I switched to
Strategists, all the way up to Sequence Four, are like this."
"...can you really switch to other sequences?"
Su Wen was stunned. Although Liu Sandao had told him that some extraordinary sequences could take extraordinary secret medicines from other schools, he did not expect that this kind of thing would be so common, even for Xie Lingyun.
"of course."
Xie Lingyun's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile: "For someone who has just entered the extraordinary sequence and has average potential, do you know how difficult it is to get the secret medicine of the next sequence?"
Su Wen shook his head. But he almost blurted out the words that it shouldn't be difficult.
After all, his teachers Dong Zhizhang and Qian Haoran had told him not to worry too much about the secret medicine. With Qingshan Academy as his backing, he only needed to accumulate literary power and try to complete the ritual.
But there are few people in the world who can win the favor of Dong Zhizhang and Qian Haoran like him.
"I awakened the literary spirit, and it only took me a year and a half to complete the accumulation of literary spirit. In the talent promotion ceremony, I was lucky enough to be ranked fifth on the second list, and then I got a secret medicine, the only one of the famous master sequence of 'eloquent'
Secret medicine.”
Xie Lingyun's eyes were full of nostalgia.
"and after?"
Su Wen also nodded and expressed his appreciation for Xie Lingyun when he was young. He was fifth in the second list, which was the imperial examination that year, ah no, eighth in the talent promotion ceremony. His strength was extraordinary.
"later……"
Xie Lingyun sneered and said: "Later on, I was suppressed because of my disagreement with the mainstream 'Jianbai Sameness and Difference' faction of the famous masters. No matter how much I contributed to the famous masters, the secret medicine of sequence two that I begged for so hard was never mine."
In anger, I turned to the political strategists..."
Xie Lingyun talked about the past with hatred in his heart.
Strategists all pursue profit first. Xie Lingyun gradually rose to prominence in the Liang Dynasty at that time and had a tendency to rise to prominence. Naturally, there were a lot of strategists and scholars willing to invest in him. The secret medicine of Strategist Sequence 2 soon fell into his hands.
In his hands, he moved from a famous scholar to a strategist school.
But his behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of famous people, and there was a lot of suppression in the court. However, political advisors are not vegetarians. Coupled with Xie Lingyun's own talent and strength, he gradually established a firm foothold in the court, and finally famous people also saw him.
future, I am willing to put aside the past grudges with him and accept him back again.
But after reaching Sequence Two, his sequence path has solidified, and he is no longer a pure famous scholar.
