Gongsun Qi said with a complex expression: "Wei Yang, who has always been selfless, did not expect that before he died, he would care most about his family."
"Since he is not exempt from the secular world, why should I pretend to be noble? Xiaoyou Lin, let me tell you clearly, what price do I need to pay for protecting the Gongsun family?"
Lin Ze thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I really can't do it."
"Why?" Gongsun Qi asked with a strange look on his face.
Lin Ze saluted Gongsun Qi: "So that the seniors will know that the juniors have persuaded Young Master Hu Hai to protect the people of the Lu family, and also persuaded Young Master Hu Hai to bring the Wei family into the family. I am afraid that the Gongsun family may not be able to do anything."
"The reason why the people of the Lu family can be protected is because Prime Minister Lu divided the Lu family into five parts, and Hu Hai only protected part of them. Moreover, in order to stop the world from talking about it, those properties are nominally under Hu Hai's name."
"The reason why the Wei family can be protected is because Shang Jun has been selfless throughout his life and has not made many enemies. Moreover, the Wei family is far away from Shangqiu. Even so, Hu Hai had to send someone to pretend to take over half of the Wei family's property."
"As for the Gongsun family, because my predecessor started in the military, his family members, disciples and former officials are all in the army, and the disciples he supports are all strong martial arts masters. With such a powerful force, do you think your Majesty will let Hu Hai take over easily?"
Gongsun Qi asked: "Then what do you think should be done?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "Dismiss most of the disciples, cut off contact with the disciples and old officials, and the family members should retire, leaving only a few people in high positions, and then keep a low profile, keep a low profile for decades, and then they will be safe and sound.
"
Gongsun Qi started and said: "It makes sense, but after I leave, those direct descendants may not be willing to stay dormant. How should we solve this problem?"
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "This is easy. Although I cannot guarantee that Hu Hai can protect the Gongsun family, it is not a big problem if he can beat the Gongsun family from time to time."
Gongsun Qi looked strange and said: "You said in front of me that you want to suppress the Gongsun family, are you not afraid that I will slap you to death?"
Lin Ze said with a smile: "Senior is joking. With your Majesty's character, even if you will not implicate the senior family, you probably don't want to see the Gongsun family too ostentatious. Instead of your Majesty instructing Li Si or Zhao Gao to suppress the Gongsun family, it is better to let Young Master Hu Hai
Do it for you."
"After all, I will be more measured when I start, so as not to let the Gongsun family collapse."
"Even this junior can be bolder and directly declare that the Gongsun family is my unique enemy. If anyone else dares to take action except me, I will fight them to the death."
Gongsun Qi thought about it and said, "It makes some sense. This is not bad. As long as they don't die, the Gongsun family will eventually rise. So what does it matter if it is suppressed?"
Lin Ze said quickly: "I still need help from my seniors in this matter."
Gongsun Qi replied: "Say."
Lin Ze said seriously: "Although this junior is suppressing the Gongsun family, other people in the Gongsun family may not understand.
In order to avoid being resented by the senior clan members, I ask the seniors to give me a token of immunity and a letter. When the Gongsun family regains stability or rises in the future, I can use the tokens and letters to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties."
Bai Qi took off his sword and put it in front of Lin Ze and said: "This sword is called Tianwen. It was originally just the most ordinary bronze sword. Later, the Shaofu smelted rare and exotic stones into it many times, and then passed it through
My master's power has been tempered for many years, and now it is an out-and-out magical weapon, which can be said to have accompanied me in battles all my life."
"How about this sword as a token?"
When Lin Ze heard this, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. The magical weapon carefully cared for by a strong man in the Soul Realm might be enough to make most warriors in this world go crazy.
However, Lin Ze quickly regained his composure and said: "This sword is too precious, and as a token, it is overqualified for use. It is better to leave it to future generations for protection. Seniors can exchange it for another token."
Gongsun Qi shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes. Although my useless descendants have good martial arts skills, they are far from worthy of the word hero. You put this sword away. If there is a strong master in Gongsun's family in the future,
, you return it to him, if not, you can keep it for yourself."
Lin Ze smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, aren't you afraid that I will just keep it private?"
Gongsun Qi smiled and said, "Can't I still tell if you have any distracting thoughts?"
Lin Ze was stunned. To be honest, when he first saw it, Lin Ze had some dark thoughts in his heart. Later, he really didn’t have that special desire because Lin Ze was practicing swordsmanship. That sword was made of
Using a machete is a bit inappropriate.
Besides, unless Lin Ze finds a good knife, he probably won't use a sword. Compared with a sword, Wu Anjun has something he wants more in his hands.
Gongsun Qi continued: "I will give you another handwritten letter later. It will indicate that I am asking you to do this. It is called suppressing the Gongsun family, but in fact it is protecting the Gongsun family."
"The matter of protecting the Gongsun family has been agreed upon. Now, little friend, you can tell me what price you have to pay."
Lin Ze was slightly embarrassed and said: "Senior, you don't have to be like this. In fact, this junior has some connections with Wu'an Jun's Mansion. In the past, with the help of Wu'an Jun's Mansion, this junior embarked on the path of martial arts..."
Gongsun Qi directly waved his hand and interrupted: "No need to say more, I have never heard of what you said, so naturally I won't think it is a favor given to you by Wu'an Lord's Mansion. Just tell me what you want, otherwise I will think that you
They’ve all lied to me before.”
"In my whole life, I have never seen anyone helping others without needing anything in return. There is no need for you to be embarrassed."
Lin Ze had no choice but to pretend to be helpless and said: "In that case, I will not be polite to you, this junior."
"Senior has a high level of martial arts cultivation, and I would like to ask senior to guide me in my martial arts path."
Gongsun Qi frowned slightly and said, "Aren't you a disciple of Xu Fu? Why do you still need me to teach you martial arts?"
Then he straightened his brows and said, "Well, maybe you want to gather the leaders of hundreds of schools. Let me first take a look at the martial arts you practice. What is it like?"
He said that he would put a hand on Lin Ze's shoulder, and under his control, the endless power of the master poured into Lin Ze's body and circulated back and forth in his body for several days.
Xiao Jin immediately shouted crazily in Lin Ze's mind: "Alarm, alarm, there is an intrusion of unknown high-end energy, which is a great threat to the host..."
Then there were countless noisy sounds, and Lin Ze felt like his head was getting bigger.
Lin Ze could only scream in his mind: "Shut up."
Xiao Jin fell into silence again.
Seeing that Lin Ze's face was a little pale, Gongsun Qi couldn't help but asked with concern: "Why, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little nervous."
Gongsun Qi then stopped asking, and instead commented on Lin Ze: "According to my investigation, you have a real earth-type physique. Logically speaking, you should practice some defensive skills, like Lian Po, the great master of Zhao State.
He is famous all over the world for defending instead of attacking."
"But you don't know what secret method you have practiced. The true energy is much stronger than the ordinary earth attribute true energy. At the same time, you have also practiced the Confucian physical training method, the Buddhist defensive method, and the Taoist mental method."
"It stands to reason that if someone like you seems to have adopted the best of hundreds of schools of thought, but in practice is not good enough, if this continues, you may not be able to become a master."
"But the unknown secret method you practice is indeed amazing. It has actually improved all your martial arts methods to a higher level. If your secret method can go one step further, when you integrate all the methods, it will be you.
The day when martial arts is accomplished and you become a master."
Lin Ze was solemn when he heard the words and bowed: "Thank you, senior, for your teaching."
Gongsun Qi waved his hands in disbelief and said: "I just gave a rough summary, it's nothing. Your teacher Xu Fu can also do it, so I don't deserve this thank you."
"I think your other martial arts methods are all good, but your killing power is lacking. I don't have much else, but this killing power alone dominates the world. Are you willing to learn it?"
Lin Ze was overjoyed when he heard this. He took the risk to come to see Wu Anjun. Besides wanting to stir up the troubled waters, wasn't that just for this?
Therefore, Lin Ze bowed and saluted and said: "This junior is very happy."
Gongsun Qi smiled slightly and put his hand on Lin Ze's shoulder. Soon the zhen qi in Lin Ze's body began to circulate quickly according to a specific route, and then Lin Ze's zhen qi showed a slight edge.
Gongsun Qi took his hand back and said, "I have taught you the route of the true energy. You can try it yourself."
Lin Ze followed the route just now and circulated his true energy. When the edge was revealed, Lin Ze attached his true energy to his hand and gently touched the stone table. Only one corner of the stone table was cut off like tofu.
Expose a smooth cross section.
Lin Ze bowed deeply to Gongsun Qi and said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior."
Gongsun Qi shook his head: "It's just for each of you to get what you need. It's getting late, so I won't keep you. Let's go."
Lin Ze picked up the "Tianwen Sword" and gave a slight salute to Gongsun Qi: "Junior, please leave."
