Follow the bluestone path, pass through several wing rooms, and arrive in front of the living room.
The living room is fairly luxuriously decorated, but there are no extravagant furnishings. Apart from being obsessed with spiritual practice and things that are helpful to spiritual practice, the monks are very indifferent to all external objects.
The living room was not filled with tables and chairs like before, but a soft, low table.
The couch was covered with animal skins, and a middle-aged and bearded man was sitting at the low table, drinking tea and reading a thick book.
The old man left Ximen Hao outside the door and left without announcing anything.
Ximen Hao didn't see anyone outside, so he raised his legs and walked in.
"Sit down, the tea is still hot."
Jiang Liuyun did not look at Ximen Hao, but still focused on the books in front of him.
But there was a tea bowl placed opposite, and the tea was still steaming.
Ximen Hao lifted his robe and sat down, then took out two cigars and handed one over.
"Senior Jiang, take one to refresh your mind."
Jiang Liuyun glanced at the cigar, then took it, lit it up like Ximen Hao, and took a puff.
"Huh? It's really good. Did you bring it from your plane?"
"The specialty of my hometown is not worth mentioning. It's fine if my seniors like it. We still have it here."
Ximen Hao took out a box directly.
Not for anything else, just because Jiang Liuyun gave him a good first impression. To put it bluntly, he was a good person.
Good people are hard to find these days!
"Haha, fellow Taoist Ximen, your age is different from that of my predecessors. Fellow Taoist Ximen's lifespan is probably tens of thousands of years, right?"
Jiang Liuyun took the cigar with a smile and put it away.
There is no such thing in Dao Tianyu, it is really good.
"It's not that big, just over 10,000."
Ximen Hao waved his hand.
"Oh? So young?"
Jiang Liuyun was surprised.
Ximen Hao was stunned:
"Is this still young?"
"Hahaha! For us, we are not too young, but for outsiders, more than ten thousand is really young. I once knew several outsiders, and the youngest one was three years old when he came here.
More than ten thousand years old, the oldest is fifty or sixty thousand years old!"
After all, Jiang Liuyun is a senior member of the Jiangliu Department. He has extensive knowledge and contacts with many people.
"Hahaha! That's right! But in terms of cultivation, I'm still a junior."
"No, no, no! Cultivation is not a problem. The lifespan of a cultivator is endless and his vitality is strong. Promotion is only a matter of time. Otherwise, Dao Tianyu will not be called fellow Taoist before any cultivation. Fellow Daoist Ximen, I know you guys
Outsiders have many tricks and quick thinking, but I don’t want to use tricks when competing for the clan leader!”
Jiang Liuyun suddenly brought the topic to the point. Although Jiang Quan did not explain, he knew Ximen Hao's thoughts clearly!
Ximen Hao raised his eyebrows, as expected it would save energy to chat with the old guys!
"Former... Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't worry, my plan will not break your bottom line. Besides, sometimes, the bottom line has to be broken. Do you want to let your descendants fall into this trap for the sake of invisible moral integrity?"
Is it suffering? Fellow Daoist Jiang, we are not children, we should understand this."
Ximen Hao changed his title. Since the other party wants to interact with each other as his peers, there is no need for him to downgrade himself.
Jiang Liuyun stroked his beard, took a deep breath of his cigar, and said leisurely:
"Actually, I have heard what you said from other outsider friends. Not only you outsiders, there are also many people in Dao Tianyu who will do anything to achieve their goals. But... maybe this is my nature, including mine.
Those descendants are so kind."
"A good person will be bullied by others, but a good horse will be ridden by others!"
Ximen Hao sighed.
"Yes! But it's hard to change a country's nature!"
Jiang Liuyun also sighed with emotion.
"Okay, then Daoyou Jiang, do you plan to adopt my suggestion?"
"Tell me about it, if it works, I don't mind."
Ximen Hao nodded. It seemed that Jiang Liuyun was not so kind as to be pedantic.
So, he told Jiang Liuyun his plan in great detail.
Including how to dig holes, how to cheat, how to motivate generals, etc.
Jiang Liuyun was very excited when he heard this. There were some random things that made people feel unruly, but I have to say that Ximen Hao's plan is true... don't make a fool of yourself!
Completely grasp the enemy's shortcomings and defeat them step by step.
Soon, Ximen Hao finished explaining his plan, including his participation in the war with Xi Xi.
If Jiang Liuyun is willing and allows his foreign surname to participate in the war, he is confident that he can double his chances of becoming the clan leader!
Jiang Liuyun fell into deep thought and naturally picked up a cigar and lit it up.
Because he found that taking a sip of this thing when thinking about something can refresh his mind.
Ximen Hao is not in a hurry, he has said what he should say. If the other party does not accept it, then he has no choice but to leave directly and look for the Dark Night Territory.
After a while, Jiang Liuyun weighed the pros and cons and concluded that if this continues, his descendants will really be in bad luck!
Now that I have become the clan leader, I will not embarrass my concubine family.
But if the concubine becomes the clan leader, it will be their nightmare, and they might be forced to leave the Jiangliu tribe!
"Okay! I'll do as you say! But if it succeeds, you and your wife must help us fight."
Jiang Liuyun sucked up the remaining cigar and finally made a decision.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Jiang, I came up with such a plan just to help. Then let's ask Fellow Daoist Jiang to invite someone to come over, and we will proceed as planned."
Ximen Hao smiled, as long as Jiang Liuyun agreed to carry out his plan, then half the success would be achieved.
Jiang Liuyun nodded, then greeted outside:
"Jiang Fu, come in."
"brush!"
An old man appeared directly in the hall, startling Ximen Hao.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Go and tell Jiang Liushan that I had an accident while practicing and was injured. Ask him to come over and discuss the martial arts competition in two days."
"Ah? Injured?"
Jiang Fu looked at Jiang Liuyun in surprise. His face was rosy and full of complexion. Where could he look injured?
"Go ahead, if you say I'm injured, he will definitely come back."
Jiang Liuyun didn't bother to explain.
"Yes, Master."
Jiang Fu retreated, but as he left, he looked deeply at Ximen Hao.
The master's injury must be related to this person.
After Jiang Fu retreated, Jiang Liuyun patted his chest hard.
His face turned red, then turned pale and bloodless, and his breath became somewhat disordered.
"Ahem! Fellow Taoist Ximen, how about this?"
Ximen Hao nodded with satisfaction:
"No problem, but to be on the safe side, when Jiang Liushan comes, let's anger him first and lower his IQ. Oh, by the way, from now on, I am also a member of Jiang Liushan."
"Haha, you are not only a member of the Jiangliu tribe, but also a distant relative of mine. I have a niece who has been away from the Jiangliu tribe for many years and does not know whether she is alive or dead. How about you being her descendant?"
Jiang Liuyun smiled.
Ximen Hao looked stunned and thought to himself: Why do you have to pretend to be someone else's illegitimate child just like you did in the Kong family in Lingxu?
But it doesn’t matter, so what if you suffer a little injustice for the sake of a good future for your good friends?
"Hey! No problem, I'm familiar with this kind of thing." (To be continued)
