—————————

Before opening his eyes, Ding Ming felt something different. He was in the painting boat when he passed out, but at this moment he felt the lake wind was blowing lightly, his body was cold, the sound of the lake was surging in his ears, and he felt even more erratic under him. , he didn’t dare to move lightly, he first adjusted his body to a state where he could shoot at any time, and even used his six senses to feel the situation around him.

But in addition to the sound of the lake, he only heard an even and gentle breathing sound not far away. After confirming that there was no danger around him, he slowly opened his eyes.

He saw that he was lying on the original light boat, and the one on the opposite side was Bitter Bamboo, who was sleeping soundly at the stern of the boat, and the bamboo pole for the boat was still held in his hand.

But he was crouching on the bow of the boat, with the lute beside him, and the saber still tied to him.

Ding Ming had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if no one invited the two of them to have a cup of tea on the painting boat yesterday, and no one argued with him.

The two of us just slept on the lake for one night. That day, the sound of the piano, the fragrant new tea, and the elegant and wise mysterious Young Master Yun did not seem to exist, and it seemed like a dream of Huang Liang. .

He rolled over and sat up, couldn’t help licking his dry lips, but felt a tingling pain, but it turned out that he accidentally touched the tip of the bitten tongue. Although the blood had already solidified, he still felt pain. Until now, he didn’t believe it. What happened yesterday was not a dream.

After mobilizing his infuriating energy and practicing the exercises for a week, he could feel that there was nothing unusual in his body.

Moreover, he did not feel dizzy and dizzy after being intoxicated, but felt refreshed. If he had not been exposed to the cold wind all night, the posture of lying down and sleeping was not very appropriate, I was afraid that even the back pain would feel Neither will it.

He stretched some numb limbs and was about to wake Kuzhuzi, but something fell on the deck, making a crisp sound.

He looked carefully, but it was a crystal white jade pendant.

Ding Ming picked up the jade pendant subconsciously, and saw that the front of the jade pendant was a beautifully carved picture, depicting the immortal mountain pavilion standing vaguely in the vast sea of clouds, and on the back of the jade pendant, there were two lines of small characters with iron and silver hooks, ” God’s will is hard to ask, and the opportunity is far-reaching.”

Ding Ming’s heart moved, and he recalled that before he fell into a coma, he heard the two lines of poems that Yun Wuxian recited, and recited them several times. Ding Ming’s heart suddenly moved, and his eyes glowed.

How could a person like Yun Wuzun be anonymous, and he never thought that he would be fortunate enough to meet the most mysterious Tianji Pavilion Master in Jiangnan Wulin.

Tianji Pavilion has been in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years, but its power is like the tip of the iceberg, making it difficult to guess its depth forever. Only a person like Yun Wuxian is worthy of the identity of Tianji Pavilion owner, and he is fortunate enough. Talking clearly with such a mysterious person, and having him promise to help, Ding Ming was so excited that he felt that the world suddenly became brighter.

There is no complaint about Yun Wuzun’s use of the drug to restrain himself. Even as the master of the Tianji Pavilion, he will definitely do the same. Although his identity is revealed, he will never leave his safety to others. .

At this time Ku Zhuzi had also woken up, but he was not delusional like Ding Ming, his strengths as a secret spy once appeared, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he said: “We are in a plot, Ding. Brother.”

Ding Ming smiled and said, “It’s more than a plot, we are simply being played on by others?”

Bitter Bamboo was stunned for a moment, but when Ding Ming said this, there was a smile on his face, and there was no trace of anger on his face. He was also a shrewd person. With a flash of his eyes, he landed on the jade pendant that Ding Ming held tightly in his heart. , Ding Ming handed over the jade pendant, bitter bamboo eyes flashed, and soon, in a slightly tentative tone: “Could it be someone from the Tianji Pavilion?”

Ding Ming also admired Kuzhuzi’s agility, and said, “I think so, that Yun Wuzun is probably the master of Tianji Pavilion.”

Kuzhuzi thought about it for a while, only to feel that all the mysteries on Yun Wuzun’s body were solved. Since he is the master of Tianji Pavilion, it is more natural to have such luxurious enjoyment.

He claims to be not from an aristocratic family, but he has the bearing no less than the children of an aristocratic family. He is surrounded by well-trained and loyal servants and guards with high-minded masters. He can be treated like a guest by Zhou Dongzhu of the “Xie Embroidery Workshop”. He has seen crystals before. Long Bi knows his whereabouts like the back of his hand. All these things are hard to guess. As long as he believes that this person is the master of Tianji Pavilion, it is a matter of course.

Moreover, this popularity and knowledge, there are few people who can match the world, but he is unknown, it is impossible, if he is the master of Tianji Pavilion, then if he does not have such ability, it will make people doubt his identity.

The most important point is that in Yun Wuzun’s words, he knows the current affairs well, but he is not very interested in the disputes between the two countries. This is also in line with the image of the Tianji Pavilion. I tend to favor Southern Chu, but I don’t seem to be overly rejecting Dayong.

After he figured it out, Kuzhuzi blurted out: “This matter should be told to the general.” He said this because, in his early years, when he was still a secret spy, he was ordered to explore the secrets of the Tianji Pavilion. After all, the Tianji Pavilion is a wonderful institution. Hidden weapons, all kinds of unimaginable and wonderful ideas, are all mouth-watering, even the military of Nanchu and Dayong are no exception, but for more than ten years, the Tianji Pavilion is still hidden from time to time, even if it is temporarily occupied by people. He gained the upper hand and lost some power, but the heavy retaliation that followed was enough to make anyone tremble.

As a result, even if someone found out some clues about the whereabouts of Tianji Pavilion, or dared not to scare a snake, or to throw a rat, they did not dare to take a shot casually, often in a very short period of time, the clues would be cut off.

In fact, under the inability to wipe out all the forces of Tianji Pavilion, no force dared to do anything to Tianji Pavilion.

What’s more, although Tianji Pavilion is powerful, it is not domineering, nor does it have the ambition to dominate a certain industry. Cooperating with it, you can get the opportunity to develop and grow, but it is the end of the family. How many people can muster the courage to fight against the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

In Southern Chu, Tianji Pavilion is such a unique existence.

But now there is a chance to control the Tianji Pavilion. The Tianji Pavilion owner, who has never appeared before, actually revealed the truth. He has changed someone else or has no ability to deal with it. But if it is Lu Can, the most powerful general in the Nanchu military, he has the strength to deal with it. A person who is no longer mysterious.

But as soon as Kuzhuzi’s words came out, Ding Ming said categorically: “This is absolutely impossible. If this happens, I’m afraid there will be disasters?”

Ku Zhuzi showed a puzzled look, Ding Ming sighed when he saw this: “Ku Zhuzi, after all, you are from a noble family. Although you are a Jianghu person now, you still cannot see through some things. For a person like Tianji Pavilion Master, one’s own Safety is the most important thing. Since he has already asked us not to say anything about him, if we go against his will, I am afraid that he will become our biggest enemy. You should also be able to see that he has nothing to do with Dayong. No ill will, if he voted for Dayong in a fit of anger, I’m afraid it would be worse for Nan Chu.”

Kuzhuzi retorted: “But Tianji Pavilion has never asked about its identity and origin. In the past, several important weapon design drawings were purchased by people from Dayong. Rather than leaving such an uncontrollable intermediate force, it is better to use it. Firmly in the palm of your hand.”

Ding Ming shook his head and said, “Brother Kuzhu, my younger brother would take the liberty to ask if the events of the past had hit you so hard that you couldn’t clearly understand the current situation?”

Bitter Bamboo seemed to be slapped in the head, his expression became terrifying, and anger flashed in his eyes, Ding Ming said sternly: “Brother Daoist escaped from death, but was expelled from the army by Rong Yuan for this reason. If you don’t go, our friends don’t want to hurt you, but today my little brother wants to ask my brother, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master can knock you and me into a coma, if he’s poisoned, wouldn’t you and I have already died? If Tianji Pavilion Master is so easy to deal with, how can he be able to traverse Jiangnan for so many years. If it is not bad as I expected, I am afraid that he has already been flying, and he has changed his identity and name, and even his appearance may not be the same, otherwise how can he Keeping a secret identity for many years. If he doesn’t guard against you and I’ll be mean to him, we won’t be stunned with drugs.”

Bitter Bamboo’s complexion gradually became stiff, and scenes from the past flashed before his eyes. Finally, the young man with a face like snow in the moonlight appeared. Thank you for waking me up, I am really trapped by my inner demons, yes, what kind of power is the Tianji Pavilion, and if you want to deal with it at this time, isn’t it self-defeating? With the support of the pavilion, I am afraid that Wu Yue will no longer have any coastal defenses to speak of, and I am afraid that most of the Wu Yue family has business dealings with Tianji Pavilion.”

Seeing that he had already woken up and called him with the tone of the first meeting that day, Ding Ming was relieved and said with a smile: “Let’s go to Wuzhou now, I think Zhou Dongzhu of the embroidery workshop should have already prepared.” Bamboo gave a hearty smile, threw away the troubles in his heart, picked up the bamboo pole and punted the boat to go to Wuzhou, but he suddenly screamed.

Ding Ming was startled, looked up and said, “What’s wrong?”

Kuzhuzi said with a sad face: “These guys with no conscience, they just left us on the boat, why didn’t they tie the boat, and now where did we get washed by the lake, but I don’t know?”

When Ding Ming heard the words, he was stunned for a while, and then he laughed loudly. The laughter was full of joy. He thought that most of it was deliberately done by the pavilion master that day. Maybe it was to punish Kuzhuzi for his rude words.

Looking at the sky and clouds, the free and easy and amiable description of Yun Wuzong appeared again in front of his eyes, “The will of heaven is difficult to ask, and the opportunity is deep and far-reaching”, although this is the origin of the Tianji Pavilion, but in the eyes of the cloudless trace, I am afraid. The real meaning is still “God’s will is always high and difficult to ask, but relatively Tao Ran forgets the opportunity”.

“Ah” I sneezed a lot and touched my nose. Could it be that someone is scolding me behind my back?

I don’t know if it’s Jiang Haitao or Huo Cong. It’s natural for them to scold me, especially Huo Cong, but when I was a teenager, I was thrown into the battlefield, and I felt bad about it.

Or Hu Yanshou, his face has not been very good since last night, and it is no wonder that unless I arrive at the Yongjun camp, his face will definitely not be good-looking.

Or maybe Xiao Shunzi was slandering me. Ever since I stopped him from killing me last night, he has been staring at me with cold eyes. If I hadn’t solemnly warned him not to hide it from me, I’d be afraid that those two would die early. Gone, now he just stares at me, which is very polite.

At this time, the light boat I was riding was heading for Wuxi. Last night, all my subordinates in Nanchu arrived, and they had a secret meeting in the heart of Zhenze Lake. This was the only time after I left Nanchu. Chen Zhen, Han Wuji was naturally present, and all the secret camp disciples were present except for Yue Lun.

As early as the beginning of this year, I ordered Chen Zhen and Han Wuji to arrange this meeting, and specifically stated that I would be present. Of course, the time and place were deliberately vague, and I took the opportunity to test the loyalty of all the disciples. They are very familiar with things, and they don’t need me to bother to remind them.

The result is also gratifying to me. Although it has been difficult to meet each other over the years, their loyalty has not diminished.

After meeting everyone, I gave a clear explanation of the purpose and strategy of Tianji Pavilion in the next few years, which is why I must stay in Zhenze Lake for a few days.

Although Tianji Pavilion was created by me, and the secret camp is my most reliable strength, but long-term separation and war is imminent, I cannot ignore any subtle factors, only use my own eyes to determine their intentions and persuade them face to face By accepting my decision, I can ensure that I can control Tianji Pavilion like an arm, which can help me without damaging the foundation of Tianji Pavilion.

In the next few years, the tension between the two countries is bound to be fraught, and the exchange of information will become very difficult. For the sake of safety, I will not be able to give them detailed instructions as before.

So for this meeting, I must make them understand my intentions, and these things cannot be explained by letters alone, so I have to come in person.

Under my decision, Tianji Pavilion will remain neutral during the battle between Dayong and Nanchu, and it can even be slightly biased towards Nanchu. They don’t need them to provide any information to Dayong, let alone cooperate with each other. Even Originally, they were going to provoke the Wu Yue family to support Lu Can in the formation of the Rebel Army, but now they have someone to take over, they just need to add fuel to the flames.

When Dayong advances step by step, they only need to take the initiative to cooperate.

Chen Zhen and Bai Yi were very surprised by such a decision. Even after Bai Yi hesitated, he euphemistically stated that they did not mind the identity of the Chu people. change my decision.

This decision is not because of doubts about their loyalty. Although they are almost all from Southern Chu, they have hardly received kind treatment from the imperial court. When I selected the secret camp disciples from the orphans, I just didn’t want them to have too many. tie down.

Over the years, they have not been dissatisfied because I voted for Dayong, and they have always served me faithfully, so I don’t think they will be rebellious because of their motherland.

However, even if these disciples had no idea, I couldn’t ignore the limitations of the Tianji Pavilion.

In any case, the foundation of Tianji Pavilion is still in Southern Chu. If you say that you have some business dealings with the enemy country, or you want to do something that is not conducive to the court, this is a matter of course for a mysterious organization, that is, the relationship with Dayong Closer, there is nothing special for the merchants who focus on profit.

However, if I want Tianji Pavilion to fully cooperate with Yong Jun, this will cause the foundation of Tianji Pavilion to float.

The reason why Tianji Pavilion can be mysterious is because there are many industries and allies are all over the south of the Yangtze River, but most of the shopkeepers and staff in these industries are from Chu, and most of those allies are also from Chu.

The disciples of Tianji Pavilion can ignore the homeland of Southern Chu, but those Chu people can’t help but worry, they may bow their knees in front of Yong Jun, but they will not be determined to serve the enemy country.

Rather than setting the backyard of Tianji Pavilion on fire, it is better to let them continue to be under the control of Tianji Pavilion, which will also be easier to induce them to accept Dayong’s rule.

If the Tianji Pavilion disappears and its reputation is ruined, just like the Splendid Alliance, I can’t bear it. The properties of the Tianji Pavilion are where my disciples can live and live, and the senseless loss will make my heartache.

Of course, the most important point is that you can’t do things beyond your duty, collect intelligence, and buy off important officials and generals of the enemy country. These are the duties of Si Wencao. If I intervene, would I be overstepping my authority? I have no intention of competing with Si Wencao.

Just like what happened with the Splendid League at the beginning, now that I think about it, I am a bit busy. The supervisory officer is the matter of the Mingjian Division, but I let the Splendid League do more work. Although the result was good, if it caused Li Zhi’s dissatisfaction, UU Read www.sonicmtl.

com may be worth the loss.

Moreover, Xiahou Yuanfeng took the blame for me in the case of the Splendid Alliance. If Tianji Pavilion becomes the target of public criticism this time, could it be that Si Wencao will bear the blame for me?

After thinking about it, Tianji Pavilion is better to be more stable, and it is the real winner that does not show the mountains and waters.

While I was thinking about it, a young man in a blue shirt walked into the cabin and said respectfully, “Young Master, Wuxi Feige has arrived, and everything is ready. You can go on the road as soon as your son arrives.”

I woke up and said with a smile: “Shanzi, your achievements in the hidden weapon are no longer inferior to mine, and this time you have taken the shot yourself. Naturally, I am relieved that I will definitely not miss my schedule, and I will not reveal it. There are flaws, but when you get on the boat, you still have to make arrangements to avoid people’s eyes and ears, and not to make people suspicious.”

Surprise flashed in the eyes of the blue-shirted youth, and he was very excited about my admiration, but the teachings he had received made him forcibly suppress the fluctuations in his mood, and he promised to retire.

Hu Yanshou, who had been silent next to him, sighed in his heart. This young man in blue shirt had a calm and solemn appearance, and his martial arts were obviously not weak. Seeing his bearing and speech, he was also outstanding. Hearing the name of the Hou Ye, he was also a member of the Eight Horses.

The meeting in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion last night was like a dream, even though he was not qualified to attend, but he also watched the secret camp disciples come and go.

Thinking about it today, I am still full of admiration. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed a land of outstanding people and a group of heroes. If the lord of the Southern Chu kingdom is also a wise monarch, who can be a worthy leader, Dayong has no chance of winning.

After two days of boating, I finally arrived at a hidden dock in Wuxi. I walked out of the cabin. I looked at the special cargo ship full of food, and felt melancholy in my heart. When I got on this ship, it meant that this short pastime had passed. , The origin of good dreams is easy to wake up, alas!
