"Do you believe there is a way to live forever in this world?"
"It depends on who asks."
Lu Hanjiang's idea was simple from beginning to end, that is, to get the secret book of Xiaowuxiang Gong. As for those cheap senior sisters and brothers, he didn't take it to heart.
After all, Qiao Cunsi's identity cannot be concealed for a lifetime, and it might have been leaked that day. If she were to be involved again, it would be more gain than loss.
So after getting the secret book, Lu Hanjiang told Commander Meng Yuan everything about the incident. After all, this old man, in addition to being his strongest supporter, was also his elder in the true sense.
The best way to deal with it was obviously to give an order to the old man to pull out the six remnants of the Xiaoyao sect and kill them. Everyone was happy, but Meng Yuan didn't seem to think so.
When the two of them were talking about this, Meng Yuan suddenly asked him the strange question above. After receiving Lu Hanjiang's cunning answer, he added: "If your Majesty comes to ask, how will you answer."
Lu Hanjiang coughed, raised his hands to the sky and said, "In ancient times, Peng Zu lived eight hundred years, but now my majesty has ten thousand years, and his life span is as long as that of heaven. Why not?"
"Being smart."
Meng Yuan lightly slapped Lu Hanjiang on the head, and said meaningfully: "If that day really comes, remember it and don't mention anything else except the word 'letter'."
"I know, I know. If you talk too much, you will make mistakes."
Lu Hanjiang smiled nonchalantly and asked, "Uncle Meng, your Majesty has not been in court for many years and has entrusted all government affairs to the cabinet and the royal guards. Could it be that he really believed the secret on the jade stone?"
"What emperor doesn't want to live long, but is there really a way to live forever in this world?"
Although Meng Yuan did not reply directly, Lu Hanjiang could probably tell from his words that no matter what the method of immortality was, at least he did not believe in it.
But then again, what does it have to do with whether the emperor lives forever or not? He is just an envoy to the town, and national affairs cannot be dealt with by him. The emperor has a ten thousand-year dream, so let him do it.
He was obsessed with taking care of this.
"Uncle Meng, what do you plan to do with the Xiaoyao Sect?"
"...Shuoxuan."
After a long time, a strange name came out of Meng Yuan's mouth, and he was heard to say: "I actually misjudged the fact that the kid who followed Bei Mingzi back then and couldn't even speak rudely, not only survived, but actually
There is such a plan."
Bei Mingzi, this should be the leader of the previous generation of Xiaoyao Sect, so Shuo Xuan is planning everything behind the scenes, his cheap senior brother.
"Now that we know that they are hiding around the princes, as long as we capture Xi Qiu and Chu Wei, the Jin Yiwei can follow the clues and find them all." Lu Hanjiang said.
"I'm afraid the few remaining members of the Yuan family, the Chu family, and their family backgrounds are all court officials. It would be inappropriate to arrest people directly. The noise would be too big." Meng Yuan stroked his beard and shook his head slowly.
A bad premonition flashed through Lu Hanjiang's heart, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle Meng, their goal is the jade. If they make a big fuss and let His Majesty know about it, that will be real trouble."
Based on Lu Hanjiang's understanding of Meng Yuan, even in the face of princes and princes, this commander-in-chief can take action without changing his expression. How could a few officials make him take action?
The only explanation can only be that Meng Yuan seems to want to use this group of people to make a fuss. If he wants to choose a helmsman to influence the small boat of the Xiaoyao Sect from the inside, then he, the person who pretends to be Qiao Cunsi, sneaks into the inside.
, is the most suitable candidate.
Meng Yuan had grown up watching Lu Hanjiang, and he could tell at a glance that this kid wanted to be lazy again, so he immediately dismissed his thoughts: "It's just a piece of paper to get rid of them. A bunch of homeless dogs are nothing to worry about."
, you can rest assured and continue to contact them as the Qiao family."
Lu Hanjiang made a long face and asked reluctantly: "I wonder how long I will have to make peace with them?"
"soon."
Meng Yuan glanced at Lu Hanjiang dissatisfied. This junior had good martial arts talents, but his temper was really annoying. Putting aside the idea of lecturing for the time being, he took a small box and a
Long sword.
Lu Hanjiang didn't know what was in the small box, but he had been staring at the sword for a long time. If Meng Yuan put it here, it must not be anything ordinary.
"Put these two things away. After a while, take them to Southern Shaolin." Meng Yuan said.
Lu Hanjiang was not in a hurry to answer. He first pulled out a sword and heard a sword cry as clear as the fairy music in the valley. The faint purple light loomed on the green sword. With just one glance, he could not look away.
"Uncle Meng, what is this?" Lu Hanjiang couldn't put it down, playing with the sword. If it weren't for the brilliance of the sword and the dazzle of his Xingxuan sword, he would have wanted to go back to Jiangnan again and ask Lao Zhu if he could buy it back.
There was a hint of reminiscence in Meng Yuan's tone, and he said: "There are countless weapons made at the Sword Forging Villa, but only three are famous in the world. This is one of them. The sword was unknown when it was completed, and was later recognized by Bei Mingzi at the Sword Appraisal Conference.
After winning, he was named Tianji."
"Magical weapon." Lu Hanjiang was having a great time playing it. No wonder it was so extraordinary. It turned out to be the treasure of Sword Making Villa.
After playing for a while, Lu Hanjiang finally put the secret back into its sheath and opened the box. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing inside. He squinted and took a closer look, only to find a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wings.
Disguise mask.
He picked it up, looked at it, put it on his face, and then pulled out the secret. With the reflection of the sword, what appeared in front of him was a completely unfamiliar face.
Lu Hanjiang clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "Uncle Meng, where did you get these treasures? If you put them in the world, I don't know how many people will fight for them."
"This mask was originally owned by Demon Lord Tian Ming. It is called kaleidoscopic. If it is held by someone who is skilled in this way, it can really turn into thousands of faces. It is a pity that the madman did not know his own abilities and dared to fight with me head-on. Otherwise,
He put on this mask and hid in the crowd, but I really couldn't kill him."
Meng Yuan inadvertently mentioned his bravery back then, and Lu Hanjiang was already used to this.
But the name sounded a bit familiar, so he couldn't help but ask more: "Tian Mingjun... I remember there was a man named Yin Zhixie, who also seemed to be called Tian Mingshou."
"That's his disciple. Tian Ming Jue is a first-class martial arts. I'm afraid he hasn't mastered it yet, otherwise he wouldn't have had his arm chopped off by Huangfu Yushu."
Meng Yuan just said casually that he never paid attention to these little people. Since the two treasures have been handed over to Lu Hanjiang, naturally what should be done will not be left behind. He said: "I have received a secret report.
We are preparing to hold a demon-slaying convention."
"Slaying demons? What kind of demons are they killing?" Lu Hanjiang was stunned, and a name immediately appeared in his mind. He asked: "Huangfu Yushu?"
Meng Yuan hummed, and then said: "Obviously, I will issue an order to send you to Southern Shaolin. Secretly, you will take the secret, put on a mask, and show your face at the conference as the successor of Xiaoyao Sect and show off your prestige?"
Remember, be more ostentatious."
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Meng, everyone in the Xiaoyao Sect knows that Bei Mingzi was killed by your boss back then. I am afraid that they will become suspicious once this secret is revealed."
Meng Yuan said calmly: "It's just to make Shuo Xuan suspicious. Otherwise, how could he put aside important matters in the capital and go all the way to lie down here."
