Luo Chuan only brought his shadow and Siqi with him. As the middle-aged woman went deeper, he saw from a distance that in a bamboo pavilion in a bamboo forest by a small lake, Zhong Shu Ye, the head of Tingfeng Pavilion, and a man with white beard and hair.
The old men in black clothes were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea, looking relaxed and having a pleasant conversation.
Across the small lake against the blue sky, Luo Chuan looked at the ink painting-like scenery and asked, "Zaoshan Tingfeng Pavilion should be a place like this."
The middle-aged woman who led him followed his gaze, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, one of the previous generations of Tingfeng Pavilion's master loved green bamboo, so he planted a mountain of bamboo in the back mountain.
, so with the pines and cypresses in the front of Zao Mountain and the bamboo forest in the back, there is no shortage of good places to drink tea even in the hottest time of summer."
"Just from listening to it, I think it is a good place that makes people feel comfortable. Is practicing on the mountain always so relaxing and stress-free?" Luo Chuan asked again.
The middle-aged woman shook her head, "Although Tingfeng Pavilion is indeed not strict in discipline compared to some other sects, it still has a set of strict rules for the training of its disciples, especially those aged under
Disciples under the age of fifty are required to practice meditation for a certain amount of time every day. However, for those who are older or have encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation, hard work has lost its greatest meaning. Instead, it is about cultivating the mind and nature.
Naturally, maybe you will get your own chance."
Luochuan nodded.
In just a few words of conversation, several people had already arrived in the bamboo pavilion. Zhong Shuye and the old man in black stood up and greeted Luo Chuan, then sat down casually regardless of guest or host.
"Junior just now told senior Feng Qingzi on the road that he is very yearning for the life of cultivation on Tingfeng Pavilion in Zaoshan." Luo Chuan looked at the three elders of Tingfeng Pavilion opposite the bamboo table and said with a smile, "It's a pity that I'm here
You probably won’t have the chance to experience a location like this.”
Zhong Shuye smiled when he heard this and said, "The Grand Administrator protects a human race and educates the people of a place. His name can be passed down through the ages and his merits are immeasurable. Why should he envy us wild old men in the mountains? After a hundred years, they will be turned into soil and nothing will be left in this world."
"
Luo Chuan laughed loudly, "Master Zhong seeks the road to immortality. Everything in this world can be fleeting, so don't worry about it."
Zhong Shuye shook his head, "Eternal life, how many people have lived forever since ancient times? After all, we are just people who have lived for a long time, and we have to care about everything in the world."
Luo Chuan sighed and said, "That's right, even Lu Zu has passed away..." He straightened his expression and looked at Zhong Shuye and said, "Since Master Zhong also has all these things in the world in his eyes,
You should already know what this junior is talking about here."
Zhong Shuye saw that Luo Chuan was suddenly so direct, so he didn't beat around the bush. He raised the tea cup and paused slightly in mid-air. He nodded and said, "Of course, the day of discussing Taoism is approaching. The prefect is here for the sake of "the county."
"Teacher's Matter."
"Exactly," Luo Chuan straightened his sitting posture and leaned forward slightly. "This junior also knows that Tingfeng Pavilion's choice is Tingfeng Pavilion's own business. Juniors should not interfere too much. However, the day before yesterday, the head of the clock was in summer
There was a question in the banquet hall of the palace, so I thought of coming today to ask Master Zhong to ask more questions, and I will answer all the questions I have."
Zhong Shuye lowered his head to drink tea, saying nothing.
The old man in black who was sitting next to him suddenly asked, "I dare to ask the prefect, I should know something about Tingfeng Pavilion now. If the leader of the Bi faction agrees to be the "county master" of Li County, Tingfeng Pavilion
Will Feng Pavilion also be moved to Lijun territory?"
This is actually still the question Zhong Shuye asked that day.
Luo Chuan did not answer directly, but asked instead, "Senior, do you think Shen Ranzhi, who has been defeated repeatedly despite Jiangzhou's support, is expected to defend the three southern cities of Hanoi County..." He stretched out his two
He crossed his index fingers horizontally and vertically, "Ten years?"
The old man in black shook his head when he heard this, "It shouldn't be possible."
"I think this is the case for this junior, not to mention ten years, even two years, I'm afraid it will be difficult," Luo Chuan looked at the old man in black and said slowly, "And Li County and Guang County... will have a battle after all.
..."
The old man in black asked again, "Is it inevitable?"
"The situation is like this, no one can help it..." Luo Chuan shook his head, "A few months ago, a cauldron suddenly fell in front of the palace of the prefect of Li City, and the prefect of Guang County
There is also a cauldron falling in front of the palace...!"
The old man in black was silent.
Feng Qingzi then asked, "What do you think the situation in Southwest Hanzhou will be like now, Lord Taishou?"
"Juniors cannot predict the future, and what is said below is just the opinion of one family," Luo Chuan said. "Let's talk about Nanyi first. Although there is now the Southern Xinjiang Alliance and then the Yashui Alliance, the actual significance is limited. We are still at a passive disadvantage on the southern battlefield.
, the situation on the Lijun side is pretty good. If Yongchang uses half of the county to gather in the two cities in southern Xinjiang, it will be okay. The most troublesome thing is Anyang. After losing three points of the land, it has lost Wei Changhe. Shuanglong City's Yuanhe defense line may be
It won't last long, and most of the fertile land between Baihe and Yuanhe may become a tug-of-war. Millions of people will move eastward and northward, and neighboring states and counties will inevitably endure unimaginable refugee hardships..."
"As for Xiyi, now the only one who intersects with the South Branch of Xiyi is my Lijun family. But because of the fox clan's own character of planning and planning, there won't be a large-scale confrontation before the perfect opportunity arises.
The conflict is just that there is Longji Valley in the north and Xigu Pass in the south. It is inevitable that there will be occasional wars between the troops stationed all year round." Luo Chuan took a sip from the tea cup on the table, leaving enough time for the three people opposite him to digest, and then said, "
Finally, let’s talk about the battle between princes!”
"Not counting the disputed land in the three cities in the south of Hanoi County, Southwestern Hanzhou now has four counties in one state. Yongchang County and Anyang County have no time to take care of themselves. The only ones that still have some strength are Li County and Guang County," Luo Chuan said. "Li County's army is everywhere.
Duryodhana and the navy of Guangjun dominate the two rivers. It seems that they have their own merits, but in fact, it is Lijun who has the upper hand, and this advantage lies in Anling!"
"Now that Guangjun controls the land of the two rivers, but has lost Anling, the west of it is open to Lijun," Luo Chuan said, "but because Lijun is a land on both sides after all, as long as we resist
The overall situation of Yi is unpredictable day by day, and the dispute between Li and Guang will still be in suspense. As for what will happen in the next year..." He looked at the people in Tingfeng Pavilion with solemn expressions, "It depends on what happens today.
The city is prosperous!"
After listening to Luo Chuan's words, Zhong Shuye could still lower his head and sip tea, calmly, but the smile on Feng Qingzi's face disappeared. The old man in black looked at Luo Chuan, still silent.
The bamboo pavilion suddenly became quiet.
After everyone had another cup of tea, Zhong Shuye finally said, "I heard that Qixingzi of Cangyan Sword Sect is still in Anling?"
Luo Chuan nodded, "When the soldiers from Lijun left Tianmen, I sent Siqi to Cangyan Mountain to ask for help from the Master. After passing the test of the Master, the Master sent Senior Qixing to Anling to guard our army on the west route.
Now that Anling has been settled, Guang County has strong men from the upper three realms stationed in Sichuan City, and Senior Qi Xing is still stationed in Rou City."
"So what's the purpose of Cangyan Sword Sect... in Li County?" Zhong Shuye asked again.
"Headmaster Cangyan once made it clear to me that as long as I don't betray the human race," Luo Chuan looked at Zhong Shuye, his gaze unavoidable, "Cangyan Sword Sect will fully support me."
