Du Ruhui and Ye Lingxiao stepped on the clouds, walked through the corridor, and stopped in front of a group of exquisite buildings.
The plaque says, "Tingyun Pavilion."
The name of Tingyun Pavilion comes from the fact that "the sea of clouds stops here, making you feel as if you are in a beautiful dream."
Therefore, it is also known as "Liu Meng".
The message allows the guests to have a sweet dream here and means to stay. Just like the word "stopping clouds" itself also has the flavor of farewell.
Du Ruhui sighed imperceptibly in his heart.
Because this is where Lingxiao Pavilion entertains guests.
It's not rude to receive him here, but it feels strange.
When he came to the secret land of Lingxiao many years ago, it was impossible for him to live here.
Not only is time passing, many things have also changed.
But he had already realized this.
It’s just...it’s already been this month, how can there be any dreams left?
The two of them sat down in Tingyun Pavilion, and there were disciples who welcomed the guests and offered them tea.
"This place will still be so beautiful for a long time to come." Du Ruhui looked at the flowing clouds outside the window without showing any emotion, and praised loudly: "Those so-called fairylands in modern times are nothing more than this."
"Really?" Ye Lingxiao said casually.
He invited Du Ruhui into Lingxiao Pavilion not because he really wanted to reminisce about the past. He just wanted to express his stance that Lingxiao Pavilion would always remain neutral and Yun Guo had no intention of actively becoming an enemy to anyone or any force.
He believed that Du Ruhui knew this very well and wouldn't mind.
Du Ruhui smiled and gently rubbed his fingers on the rim of the tea cup, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
He seemed to have completely forgotten about the murderer of Dong A, and there was indeed no need to think about it again. With Zhuang Gaoxian personally taking action, there was absolutely no chance of a mistake.
"With your talent and talents, I think you will soon be able to recreate the grand scene of the Nine Immortal Palaces in modern times."
He said tentatively: "I'm looking forward to that day."
Ye Lingxiao raised his eyebrows: "You have a wise ruler and wise ministers, and you are all famous. In the near future, you will surely be able to create the achievements of Emperor Yongming."
Du Ruhui was speechless for a moment, then he slowly said, "That's not what I meant."
Although the Nine Immortal Palaces were famous for a while, they were defeated one by one in the end. Du Ruhui's blessing was not considered auspicious.
Ye Lingxiao's response was even more sharp.
Mentioning Emperor Yongming is a hint that the Zhuang Kingdom was unfairly won, and that Zhuang Taizu Zhuang Chengqian was a traitor to the Yong Kingdom. As we all know, although the Yongming Emperor Han Zhou created the most powerful era of the Yong Kingdom, he also died at the height of his prosperity, and his hegemony
Abort.
Of course Ye Lingxiao knew that Du Ruhui did not mean to curse, he was just testing the secrets of Chi Yunshan. Perhaps he had guessed something and was doubting whether Lingxiao Pavilion had received the complete inheritance of Yunding Immortal Palace.
But he pretended not to understand.
"How do you say this? Who can guess what Du Ruhui is thinking, and who can be sure what Du Ruhui means?"
Ye Lingxiao took a sip of fragrant tea and said slowly: "The last time you came to Yun Country, I thought you were just wandering around casually. You made me so confused! I didn't expect such a big deal in the end. It really shocked the world.
."
This is a mockery of Du Ruhui's pretense last time. On the surface, he was escorting Jiang Wang back to Lingxiao Pavilion to determine the authenticity of Jiang Wang's remarks, but in fact, he was trying to test Ye Lingxiao's attitude and making final preparations for the war between Zhuang and Yong.
Taunting him for his deep thoughts.
Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and said: "The tide in the world is fierce. The Zhuang State has always been weak, so it has to be careful. Furthermore, Lingxiao Pavilion adheres to the principle of neutrality. Since ancient times, neutral people, who do not get involved, do not touch, and do not know, are the best."
Not involved, not involved, and unaware are three progressive requirements.
It is not involved in the state of affairs, not contaminated with cause and effect, and it is best not to even know anything about the matter itself. Only in this way can we be highly detached and truly neutral.
Ye Lingxiao certainly disagrees with this view. Yun Guo can "not be involved or involved", but it cannot be "ignorant".
If you abandon your martial arts skills and become blind, the only result will be to be slaughtered by others.
What he was particularly dissatisfied with was that Du Ruhui always put himself in a weak and suffering position, as if he was born with a hurt face. He was forced to do anything he did, and everyone in the world was hurting him and bullying him.
"Prime Minister Du." Ye Lingxiao's voice sounded a little louder: "The place you pointed out should be in Zhuang Guochaotang."
The Prime Minister of Zhuang State has crossed the line by making comments about the affairs of Lingxiao Pavilion.
Du Ruhui did not argue, and immediately held up his hands and said: "I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Master Ye."
At this moment, a nice but urgent voice sounded in the distance.
"Dad, you're back!"
A stunningly beautiful woman led a little girl carved in pink and jade, and fell into the pavilion.
Seeing the very magnanimous Du Ruhui, Ye Qingyu gave a gentle salute. After meeting him, he turned to look at his father: "Dad?"
Naturally, she was eager for news about Jiang Wang.
Several days have passed since Jiang Wang left without saying anything on New Year's Eve.
No news for so many days.
Even if Jiang Wang wants to return to Qi, he can't not tell her. It's even more impossible not to tell An An. He must be tripped up by something, or even... something happened.
So she tried hard to get Ye Lingxiao to come forward to look for her. After Ye Lingxiao came back, she found him as soon as possible.
Ye Lingxiao glanced at her and said softly: "Sit down."
Just saying this word means that it is not convenient to talk about Jiang Wang at this moment.
Ye Qingyu suppressed it and squeezed Jiang Anan's little hand.
Jiang Anan was very sensible. Although she cared about her brother, she didn't make any noise. She just followed Ye Qingyu silently, with tears in her beautiful big eyes, but she didn't say a word.
"The green rain is also so heavy, and it looks like a person in a painting, floating like a fairy. It's really like Ling Ci's grace back then."
Of course Du Ruhui knew that the woman in front of him was Ye Lingxiao's beloved daughter Ye Qingyu.
But he knew that Ye Lingxiao's character, involving Ye Qingyu's mother, was very easy to taste. So he praised a few words, then turned his eyes to the little girl she was holding: "Who is this girl?"
"Her name is Jiang An'an. She is my new direct disciple. Her pulse has not been opened for a long time." Ye Lingxiao said aloud.
Du Ruhui still looked at Jiang Anan with a kind expression: "Girl, you seem to be sad. Can you tell me why? Maybe I can help you."
Jiang Anan looked at him, said nothing, and just hid behind Ye Qingyu. She had always been a bit acquainted with strangers, even though the old man seemed very kind.
Ye Lingxiao laughed: "An An is so smart, we must stay vigilant against bad guys."
There was some connection between Jiang Anan and the young man he met in the Qichang Mountains that day. Du Ruhui obviously saw something.
But Ye Lingxiao didn't stop Ye Qingyu from bringing little An'an over from the beginning, and naturally he had his reasons.
He wanted Du Ruhui to see it, and he also wanted to tell Du Ruhui that Jiang Anan was Lingxiao Pavilion's direct disciple, and Lingxiao Pavilion would undoubtedly stand behind Jiang Anan.
Jiang Wang doesn't care about him, but Jiang An'an, Zhuang Gao, Xian Du Ruhui and his ministers... must use their best tactics!
Letting Zhuang Gaoxian go after Jiang Wang was the face he gave Zhuang Guojun and his ministers. And now that Zhuang Gaoxian was safe and sound, it was the Zhuangguo monarchs and ministers who had to give him face.
With Du Ruhui's wisdom, of course he could understand the implication.
He just put down the tea cup with a gentle smile: "When you are excited, you should leave when the excitement is gone. Now that the good encounter has ended, then Du will not bother you anymore."
Undercurrents under calm water are often more dangerous.
Ye Lingxiao only said
“This is a journey with high mountains and long rivers, so please go slowly!”
