Hongyuan asked: "May I ask this person's name and where he is a monk? Is it him?"
Hong Yuan smiled and shook his head and said: "This is impossible, because this person lives in Feihong City, and she is a woman. I am drinking the tea she picked at the moment. This time when I came to Feihong City,
I also plan to drop by for a visit."
Hong Yuan couldn't laugh or cry: "So you are talking about Mr. Xinlan! She is young and beautiful, but she has the five realms of cultivation. She has many admirers in the country. I often visit her in the name of asking for tea, and she also gives me this
The city lord would give me tea every year for his face, but he turned a blind eye to my admiration.
Mr. Xiling, you are less than thirty years old, you are in a high position, and you are the most knowledgeable person in the country. I think Mr. Xinlan will be willing to see you and like to talk with you. But you are not a monk, she is afraid
..." The implication of this city lord's words is that if Xiling also came here because of the reputation and longing for a beautiful woman, I'm afraid he would be disappointed.
Xiling smiled and replied: "I just came to visit for no reason. How can someone who has never met him have any other thoughts? Brother Hongyuan, you are overthinking! ... I also came to the door in the name of asking for tea, and asked
She asked for advice on some cultivation matters, and this is also a rare opportunity."
Lord Hongyuan muttered: "When you see her in person, I'm afraid you will have something to think about!" Then he wondered: "You asked him for advice on cultivation?"
Xiling nodded and said, "Yes, I came from a humble background in my early years. I didn't have such luck and opportunities, and I never received the guidance of an expert in the world. But not long ago, I was fortunate enough to listen to the guidance of Master Ruoshan, the Lord of Shanshui City, and now I have entered the first stage and can practice."
The envy of Hongyuan City Lord was indescribable, and he stood up again and said: "Congratulations, Lord Xiling! How come you have failed to catch up with all the beautiful things in the world?"
Xiling chuckled and said: "It's just the first stage, and we're still far away from cultivation... Let's not talk about this for now. I came here on your orders to tell you that this matter was handled properly. That's all.
There is no need to add any more extraneous details. But I heard that Lord Xingsha from Chiwangqiu was also involved, and it was he who suddenly killed Yan Lingzhu. The monarch would like to ask, was Lord Xingsha really just passing by?"
Hong Yuan shook his head and said: "Who can know this? I am also full of doubts. Only Mr. Xiao saw him. It is said that Lord Xingsha fell from the sky and made a sudden move, and then flew away. I can only ask what happened specifically.
Little Sir, it’s a pity that Little Sir has left here, and I don’t even know his name.”
Xiling said seriously: "Since Master Chiwangqiu Xingsha is also involved, we must be cautious when announcing this matter."
The Lord of Hongyuan City leaned over and asked, "What should I do? Please give me your advice, Master Xiling!"
Xiling muttered: "It should be reported to the capital of the country publicly. The style collectors should spread the word among the country, focusing on praising the national workers who passed by. We should also thank Mr. Xingyao for his generous action."
In fact, the identity of the rogue bandits and the truth of the matter cannot be concealed in Feihong City. More than a thousand villagers in Baixi Village know it. If they are not kept safe, someone will leak it in the future, and it will be spread among the people in this area.
But this is not the most important issue. When it spread to other parts of the country, it may have been a long time later. It has even become a processed anecdote.
What is really important is how Feihong City announces and reports it. Not only does it tell the people here, but Master Caifeng will send collectors to city walls across the country to preach. This is the official news that the people will hear. "
The position of "collecting style" is not taken seriously by many people, but Xiling thinks it is very important, because in this position, not only can intelligence be collected from all over the country, but also public opinion and rumors can be grasped and controlled.
Xiling advised Hongyuan to simply say that the bandits were wiped out. The focus was to commend the righteous men, especially to publicize the meritorious deeds of Mr. Xiao and Mr. Xingsha of Chiwangqiu.
Hongyuan replied: "Of course I should do as you say. It is the right thing to publicize and thank Master Chiwangqiu Xingsha for his righteous deeds. But the young gentleman has no origin and name!"
Xiling spread his hands and said, "What does this have to do with it? Anyway, so many people in Feihong City have seen him, and everyone calls him Mr. Little. You just promote it like this. Even if he is a person who doesn't want to reveal his true identity,
Now that Rong's masters and seniors have appeared, they will not be unwilling to hear their achievements being praised by the world."
…
"Master Caifeng likes this tea. I will get some for you to take back to the capital later. But can you tell me where that young gentleman came from? Even if you don't know him, you can guess." - This is the second time.
Tian was at monk Xinlan's house, and Xinlan asked what Xiling said.
Xiling came to visit in the name of "asking for wonderful drinks in the world". He tasted tea at Xinlan Mansion first, then asked many questions about cultivation, and finally talked about various anecdotes from the country.
Xinlan listened with great interest. The Master Caifeng in front of him was nearly thirty years old. Although he was only a first-level monk, he heard that he had not had the opportunity to receive guidance before. At this age, he could still enter the first level. It seemed that he was talented.
It's also quite good, and maybe you can reach a higher level of cultivation in the future.
More importantly, this Lord Xiling has a dignified and handsome appearance, and is extremely knowledgeable. In short, Xinlan is much more pleased with Xiling than the Lord of Hongyuan City. She stayed in Xiling and had lunch in the mansion. After lunch
We continued drinking tea and chatting. As we chatted, we couldn't help but ask about the origin of "little gentleman".
In fact, Xiling said in the morning that among the forty-nine ministers of the Xiangshi Kingdom who are still alive, none of them can match the number. But this makes people even more strange. Could it be that whose child took the elder's token?
Steal it for fun? But I have never heard of such ridiculous things. National industrial tokens are not just for fun!
Moreover, Mr. Xiao is really impressive. He subdued the Shanyao clan, assisted the villagers in killing the army, and even killed Nong Neng with his own hands. Of course, he has the means of a national worker, and his tokens and identity will not be fake. That junior high school
Forty-nine national workers, more than half of whom Xiling had never seen in person, had only heard of them. Xinlan thought that Mr. Xiao must be one of them, so she had to ask Xiling to guess a result.
Her name for Xiling is also subtly different from that of Hongyuan City Lord. Hongyuan City Lord calls Xiling "Lord Fengzheng", while Xinlan calls him "Lord Caifeng". "Caifeng" is Xiling's official official position
, calling him "Fengzheng" is just a compliment. In fact, Caifeng Guan is not one of the great masters in the country. Xinlan calls him this, which means that she has no intention of flattering Xiling, but her words seem more casual.
Looking at Xinlan's eyes, Xiling felt a little tense in breathing for some reason. The Hongyuan City Lord was right. Even if Xiling didn't have any thoughts when he came, he might have some after seeing Xinlan. This five-year-old
Sister Jing's description looks like she is only in her early twenties, but her actual age is only about the same as Xiling.
Sitting opposite her and chatting, you can invisibly feel a subtle fragrance like an orchid floating in the air. I don’t know if it’s what you smell through your nose or what you feel in your heart. She has a slim figure and beautiful appearance, especially when compared with that bright and beautiful girl.
When their eyes met, Xiling's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
He lowered his gaze and said: "I didn't dare to make any assumptions yesterday in the city lord's mansion, because the city lord Hongyuan is not a monk, and there are many things that may not be clear... Judging from the young gentleman's description, I am afraid that only one person has this possibility.
"
Xinlan: "Who?"
Xiling: "Mr. Xiang."
Xinlan: "Which Mr. Xiang?"
Xiling said: "When I mentioned Mr. Xiang in Ba Yuan, could I be talking about someone else?"
Xinlan suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "Xiling, are you talking about Mr. Taiyi? Senior Xiangsha among the seven evils of Ba Yuan!"
Xiling nodded and said: "A hundred years ago, not long after the founding of the country, the first national token given by the ancestors of our country was given to Mr. Xiang."
Xiang Sha has now become a legend in Ba Yuan. Among the seven evil spirits in Ba Yuan, Qing Sha is the earliest to become famous, but the oldest is Xiang Sha. How old is Xiang Sha? It is said to be more than a thousand years old!
In other words, he was living in the surrounding wilderness depths long before the establishment of the Ba Kingdom. There are also legends that he is not a human being, and it is unknown what race he is from, but he has already cultivated a human body.
When he was first known to the people of Ba Yuan, he appeared as a boy. Thirty years later, someone saw him again, and he was still described as a boy. Twenty years later, he appeared in the world with the same appearance.
A boy who remains unchanged. Xiling asked the village treasure in detail, and the young gentleman still seemed to be a childish child who had not yet fully grown up.
The last time Xiang Sha appeared publicly in Bayuan was long before Xiling was born. But with Hu Wa's appearance and the fact that he holds the national labor token of the Xiangshi Kingdom, it seems the most unlikely, but it happens to be
This is the most reliable guess - he is the legendary Senior Xiangsha!
Xinlan was also shocked and asked: "Senior Xiangsha is also a national worker, why didn't I know?"
Xiling explained: "That was too long ago. Mr. Xinlan should have heard the legend of Senior Xiangsha when he became famous. And the forty-nine national workers I mentioned in the morning did not include Senior Xiangsha;
Today's leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party dare not compare with this predecessor."
Xinlan: "I have heard that when our country went to war with Linguo in the western border, the army came back to fight for more than two years, and it was still difficult to determine the winner. The nearby villages and wild animals were all suffering from military disasters. Suddenly one day, a group of people were killed.
The boy fell from the sky, took advantage of the unpreparedness at night, broke into the camps one after another, and captured the monarchs of the two countries into the mountains.
He threw the two monarchs onto a towering tree. If they were not careful, they would fall off the high branch and fall to pieces, leaving them to decide the winner on their own. The two monarchs had no choice but to sit on the high branch and point to the distant ridge to draw the line.
At the national border, both sides agreed to withdraw their troops, and then they were released."
Xiling nodded and said: "The border line of our country's western frontier was drawn like this a hundred years ago. It sounds incredible, but it is true. Senior Xiang Sha was also the first national worker in the country, and his token was personally enshrined by the previous emperor.
