Chapter 612 The reason for staying for a long time
Just listen to Feng Shan say: "No, no, the reason why I want you to keep a distance from Xiao Yincai is that I would rather you give in three points than to fight for the momentary momentum."
Gu Xinhun can indeed be called a good student who is studious and eager to make progress.
When his teacher lectures, he always lets him know that he is alert and listening.
Feng Shan said: "As a Jianghu person, even if you are not familiar with it, you should have heard of it. Xiao Yincai has a reserved and calm temperament, does not express his emotions and anger, and always smiles."
Gu Xinhun said: "What you hear is not entirely true."
Feng Shan said: "Then you should at least know that Xiao Yincai regards human life as nothing."
Gu Xinhun said: "It's not easy to fake this."
Feng Shan said: "Such a top master who can make good decisions seems to be extremely low-key. It is almost impossible to hear about his outstanding deeds in the world, but the Yinsha Sect he controls has almost never been absent from any event.
It is a major event in the world, and the only difference is whether you participate or watch. This contradiction is exactly the same as that of us and other forces in the imperial court who keep a low profile and bide their time."
Although it has always been unclear what means Feng Shan uses to spy on the movements of the entire Zhongzhou, but over the years, Gu Xinhun, a member of the Hongchen Inn, has no doubt that the person in front of him is a "high-ranking person" in the true sense.
", it can almost be said that he is overlooking the overall situation of Zhongzhou with the "eye of the sky" magical power that is only found in the book of ghosts and gods.
Of course Gu Xinhun also understood the implication of Feng Shan's words and continued: "We all have something to ask for. Naturally, Xiao Yincai will not be aimless. He must act without showing off his intentions. He must have a purpose."
Feng Shan said: "Yes, after I paid attention to Xiao Yincai, I spent several months trying to figure out what he wanted. Until one day, I discovered Xiao Yincai's life experience when the palace master was browsing through an old book."
"Life experience?" Gu Xinhun, who felt somewhat tired after talking for a long time, suddenly became radiant, and his silver hair automatically resembled the gurgling Milky Way without the wind.
"Could it be that Xiao Yin is the old emperor's illegitimate son?"
"That's not quite right. Xiao Yincai doesn't care about his age at all. Could it be that the old emperor had an affair when he was less than twenty-eight years old?"
"Based on age alone, it is more likely that he is some kind of illegitimate brother of the old emperor. If he is really from the Zhu family, he should be a prince no matter what. It would be very lucky to want to grab the throne now."
"Or maybe Xiao Yincai also has an sworn feud with the Zhongzhou royal family, and like the smiling Maitreya, he is here to rebel and avenge himself?"
"Or maybe this Xiao Yin is one of the old emperor's concubines, or even the one who was born from an affair with an outsider one after another..."
Listening to the previously quiet and virginal Lonely Heart Soul suddenly come to life, chattering and speculating, Feng Shan felt a pain in his head, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the center of his eyebrows.
After Gu Xinhun finally finished explaining the eighteen possible life experiences of Xiao Yincai, Feng Shan slowly opened his mouth and praised: "You have great ideas, you should learn to cook."
Gu Xinhun smiled and said: "My cooking skills are not bad, I will show my skills to Mr. another day."
Feng Shan glanced at the sky, but it was a pity that it hadn't darkened yet, but it didn't matter, so he said, "It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Today is the day. Anyway, there are still some things that I can't finish in a short while."
Gu Xinhun's expression was slightly stiff, and he suppressed his smile and said, "Sir, Luo Luo and Su Shou are still waiting for me to have dinner with them."
Feng Shan said: "Let them have a good time in Gusu. I will tell Third Yiniang later that I will send someone to call before dinner."
Lone Heart Soul tried not to frown, and pulled out a very forced smile. Without moving her lips and teeth, Feng Shan said: "The huge Yichun Courtyard has no shortage of back doors, so we won't embarrass them two."
Gu Xinhun gave up the struggle completely and settled for peace as soon as he came, saying: "It's still early in the day, Sir, let's first talk about Xiao Yincai's life experience, right?"
Feng Shan said: "You mentioned so many possibilities, but you left out the Xiao family itself."
Gu Xinhun said: "The Xiao family itself?"
Feng Shan said: "The leader of the Jiuzhou Alliance, the Sword Master, Xiao Yutong belongs to the Xiao family."
Gu Xinhun took a deep breath, but soon calmed down, feeling like he was enlightened.
Whether it was the Kyushu Alliance or the Four Seas Alliance, from the beginning of the alliance until it was forced to disband after the Hundred Flowers Conference, there was only one alliance leader from the beginning to the end.
The two legendary alliance leaders, who can be said to be peerless twins, have been so brilliant from the past to the present, and at least the three or four generations of Zhongzhou people will never forget them.
If it were normal, Gu Xinhun would not have missed the two alliance leaders. After all, he still wanted to show off in front of his husband too much, so he was too hasty and his thinking became too narrow? It must be so.
This time Feng Shan no longer waited for Lone Heart Soul to praise him, but stated his judgment about Xiao Yincai in detail.
"Compared with the more eclectic Yan Daxia, Xiao Daxia has never had any quarrel with anyone in the world, or even in Zhongzhou, let alone made enemies."
"For such a great chivalrous person who is upright and pure, almost like a saint, I think as long as he regards Zhongzhou as his home from the bottom of his heart, even if he doesn't like him, he will definitely hate him."
"It's a pity that we cannot always have such a nearly perfect swordsman in Zhongzhou, because the so-called heroes have a short life."
"What's even more pity is that Xiao Daxia didn't get married and basically divided his life into two parts."
"Part of it was given to his kendo."
"A portion was given to his country."
"Although Daxia Xiao has not married yet, it does not mean that he does not have a family."
"Before Xiao Daxia became famous, the Xiao family was just a middle-class family."
"When Daxia Xiao became famous in Zhongzhou, the Xiao family did not take advantage of his momentum and ride on the wind."
"Xiao Daxia is indifferent to fame and wealth by nature, and his feedback to the family is more guidance and protection."
"Fortunately, everyone in the Xiao family understands the general principles and principles, so they don't feel resentful because of their indifference."
"In fact, according to Master Xiao's arrangements for the family, at most ten years will be enough for the Xiao family to steadily become one of the first-class families."
"It's just that the foreign barbarians didn't give them that much time and launched the war."
"If after that catastrophe, the Xiao family could still retain ten or twenty people and maintain a certain framework of the family, then after the war, the court should give the Xiao family official titles and honors even if it was just a pretense."
"Unfortunately, all the Xiao family were killed and injured in that war, but the imperial court did not spend manpower and material resources to dig out and find traces of those who were lucky enough to survive."
Gu Xinhun finally lost his patience and interrupted and said: "So, sir, you think Xiao Yin was just complaining about his brother's injustice and seeking justice for the Xiao family, so he endured it for more than ten years and deliberately retaliated against the Zhongzhou imperial court?
"
Feng Shan was noncommittal and continued: "To put it simply, two great heroes who have done a lot for Zhongzhou, one is an orphan, and his wife went to fight with him on the battlefield. Everyone in the world will remember this kindness, and your court will forget it.
The other one has a family and has completely dedicated himself to Zhongzhou. Everyone in the world accepts this sentiment and dare not forget it. However, your court just forgets it, not to mention taking care of his descendants, or even whether he has any clansmen.
The survivors have not conducted a detailed investigation. Should the court, which is so chilling, react?"
"That's right." After listening to Feng Shan's discussion, Lone Heart Soul was not filled with the righteous indignation he imagined. Perhaps he had heard too much and was used to this situation and felt numb. He answered in a very concise and concise manner, "Sir, your concern lies in Xiao Yincai's revenge target.
Is it the imperial court or the entire Zhongzhou?"
Feng Shan said: "Well, no matter what, I still don't want to put Xiao Yincai on the opposite side of Zhongzhou from the bottom of my heart. As long as Xiao Yincai has a disobedient heart, it must be easy to fool most of the people of the Twelve Sects of Tiansha to follow him, and then he becomes a thief.
The ship is about to disembark again, which is not a matter of thought. I prefer a more conservative judgment, hoping that this guy will either use half of the family wealth of the Twelve Heavenly Evil Sects to directly fall out with the imperial court, or devote himself to the great cause of guarding Zhongzhou, and finally
Let’s settle accounts with the Zhu family’s court again.”
Gu Xinhun said: "This kind of enemy is the most terrifying. It is difficult for us to predict whether the opponent will lose control next time."
Feng Shan said: "That's why I want you to stay away. Moreover, I always think that Xiao Yincai's wisdom will not be too much inferior to Luo Piaoling's. What's more important is that the opponent entered the game much earlier than Luo Piaoling, and it is very likely that he has already played chess."
Those who come after us naturally have many innate advantages over those who come after us.”
After hearing this, Gu Xinhun looked at Feng Shan calmly and thought to himself: In my heart, Mr. Xiao is just like Xiao Yincai.
Thinking of Luo Piaoling, Gu Xinhun could only lament that people are more irritating than others.
It seems that he and Luo Piaoling both entered the situation after the destruction of Shi Mansion. In comparison, he is more innocent.
It's just that Luo Piaoling's ability to catch up from behind was so strong that in just a few years he had a clear understanding of the chessboard situation.
It would take others ten, fifteen years or even most of his life to achieve a height, and he has become a character on the Zhongzhou chessboard that no one dares to ignore and has to be afraid of. Even the words "amazing, talented and stunning" are not enough to describe his character.
Dazzling.
Just like a chess piece lying in the chess basket, whether it is played or not, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The consequences of the move are not surprising, but when the situation continues to advance, looking back, you will be surprised to see the subsequent changes in the chess situation.
It is closely related to that chess piece, and what's more, the changes in the chess position start from that chess piece. If that chess move cannot be called the "god's move" as is often said in the chess game, then Gu Xinhun will call it the "eye of the formation."
.
The countermeasures related to the four major evil sects have now come to an end.
In the conversation that followed for an hour, Feng Shan carefully analyzed the situation of several other major and medium forces for Gu Xinhun, and told him what strategies Hongchen Inn should adopt to cooperate with these forces, become enemies, or not interfere with each other.
Gu Xinhun tried his best to digest everything today. In his mind, the overall situation of Zhongzhou, which had been covered by clouds and fog, finally cleared the clouds and saw the sun, and he could see the general outline clearly.
The current forces with considerable strength, power and desire are, first of all, Admiral Yu Tianyu, who controls the imperial court and local official networks and Dongchang. Half of the Twelve Tiansha Sects, headed by Tiansha Palace, are closely involved with them in order to achieve the invasion.
For this purpose, the Red Clothes Sect may become the target of its borrowing power.
Next is the Fifth Marquis, the general. Under his command are both the Xichang Jinyi Guards on the surface, and "that group" in the shadows. He has frequent exchanges with the three major gangs in the north, the Xiaoyue Alliance, the Crescent Alliance, and the Qingtian Clan.
The three major gangs, nicknamed by Feng Shan as the "Royal Northern Alliance", obviously have their own ideas. They will point their swords at the barbarian enemies, but they are also thinking about decentralizing power and profit after the war.
Zangfeng Pavilion and the Yu family also have plans.
The other half of the twelve Tiansha sects, headed by the Yinsha sect, are the most uncontrollable.
Gangs that don't have many desires include Nether Sect, Fengmingxuan, Zhushen Temple, Sanrenju, North and South Inn, Shahaiwu, Zui Hongyan, Sun and Moon Castle, etc.
When the war comes, most of the first three will focus on self-protection, while the rest may fight bloody battles for Zhongzhou.
Hongchen Inn can form alliances with mutual trust partners, including Tingyuge, Daoyi Alliance, Yuluo Tribe, Buji Island, etc.
Seeing the beads of sweat forming on Gu Xinhun's forehead, Feng Shan couldn't help but smile and raised the corners of his mouth.
Seeing this, Lone Heart Soul said aggrievedly: "I seem to see gloating from your smile. Sir, you should know that these things are common to officials like you, but for me, this is the first time. It's too strenuous."
.”
"You should also know that it's autumn now," Fieshu Zheng'er said.
Gu Xinhun said angrily: "Yes, yes, sir, it is cool in autumn, not to mention that Duxiuju is so elegant and quiet, I shouldn't sweat so much."
Feng Shan shook his head and said with a smile: "I mean I rarely stayed in the past years until now."
Gu Xinhun said impatiently: "Stay less for so long, it's not that you can't stay for so long. Sir is the governor of Gusu after all. If you stay longer, the court won't say anything. As for arousing suspicion, I think sir will treat this kind of thing long ago."
The hidden dangers have been eliminated virtually.”
Feng Shan smiled and pointed at Lone Heart Soul. He didn't know what to say for a while. He calmed down for a while and said, "You're smart, but you're not very smart. I'd say you're not very smart. In fact, you're quite smart."
Gu Xinhun rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want to say, sir? Please speak frankly and keep it simple. I can't stand it if you continue to play riddles."
Feng Shan had no intention of letting go and asked, "If it were just these previous contents, I could just ask a trustworthy person to relay them to you, so why would I need to meet you in person?"
Gu Xinhun narrowed his eyes, and finally sighed and surrendered: "There are many reasons for this. Maybe you don't have any real confidants. Maybe you want to test me. Maybe..."
As he spoke, Lone Heart Soul moved his gaze towards Qingchen, the top court oiran who had not come closer since they changed the topic. He seemed to have a moment of enlightenment in his heart, but then continued: "Maybe it's because the environment of Yichun Court is good.
, Third Yi Niang’s hospitality is so good, and Miss Qingchen’s craftsmanship is so good, it makes my husband happy and happy~”
Gu Xinhun raised his voice specially. Qingchen could no longer pretend to be indifferent, so he turned his head and pursed his lips and smiled.
Feng Shan laughed and scolded: "Nonsense stage~"
After playing with Fir Shan, Gu Xinhun's curiosity has long been aroused. Although he has some guesses in his heart, the answer is right in front of him. How could Lone Heart Soul be willing to use his brain? If he wasn't not sure whether he could control Fir Shan with his bare hands, he would
I wish I could force a confession now.
Gu Xinhun pretended to beg for mercy and said, "I beg you, sir, to please me and stop making any detours."
Feng Shan said: "The most indispensable thing that Hongchen Inn lacks right now is that I stayed here specially to hand over full power to you."
