——————————

Before opening his eyes, Ding Ming felt strange. When he passed out, he was in the painting boat, but at this moment, he felt the lake breeze was blowing, his body was cold, his ears were the sound of the surging lake, and his body was even more erratic. Feeling uncertain, he didn’t dare to move lightly. First, he adjusted his body to a state where he could shoot at any time, and he used the six senses to feel the situation around him. But apart from the sound of the lake, he only heard an even and gentle breathing sound not far away, confirming that there was no danger around him, and he slowly opened his eyes. I saw myself lying on the original light boat, and the bitter bamboo was sleeping on the opposite side, and the bamboo pole of the boat was still held horizontally in his hand. But he was lying on the bow, with the pipa beside him, and the saber still tied to him. Ding Ming felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if no one had invited the two of him to the painting boat to taste the top tea yesterday, and no one had argued with him. The two of them just slept on the lake all night. That day, the sound of the piano, the fragrant new tea, and the elegant and wise mysterious Young Master Yun seemed to have never existed. Suddenly, it seemed like a dream of Huang Liang. .

He turned over and sat up, couldn’t help licking his dry lips, but felt a tingling, but it turned out that he accidentally touched the bite tip of his tongue. Although the blood had solidified long ago, he still felt pain. Until this moment, He only believed that what happened yesterday was not a dream. With his zhenqi, he could feel nothing unusual about his body after performing the exercises for a week. The qi was as smooth as a pearl, and there was no suffocation. Moreover, he did not feel dizzy after being drugged. Instead, he felt refreshed. If it hadn’t been for a night of cold wind, the posture of sleeping on the ground was not appropriate, I was afraid that even the back pain would feel. Nor will it. He stretched out some swollen limbs, ready to wake up the bitter bamboo, but one thing fell on the deck with a crisp sound. He looked carefully, but it was a white jade pendant that was crystal clear and moist.

Ding Ming subconsciously picked up the jade pendant, and saw that the front of the jade pendant was a beautifully carved picture. The painting was a fairy mountain pavilion faintly standing in the vast sea of ​​clouds. On the back of the jade pendant, there were two rows of iron and silver hooks. Small print, “God’s will is hard to ask, but the machine is far-reaching.” Ding Ming’s heart moved, recalling that before he fell into a coma, he heard the two poems read by Yun Wuxun and repeated them several times. Ding Ming’s heart suddenly moved, and his eyes glowed. Yun Wuzong is such a person, how can he be silent, and he never thought that he would be lucky 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 an iceberg. It is always hard to guess its depth. Only a figure like Yun Wuzong is worthy of the identity of the Tianji Pavilion owner. He was fortunate enough to have a conversation with such a mysterious person, Ming, and he promised to help him. Ding Ming was so excited that he only felt that the world was suddenly open. There is no complaint about Yun Wuzong’s use of drugs to restrain himself, even as the master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he will certainly do so. Although he has revealed his identity, he will never leave his safety to others. .

At this time, Ku Zhuo Zhuo had also woke up, but he did not feel wrong like Ding Ming did. The strengths of being a spy showed up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he said sharply: “We are in the dark. Now, Brother Ding.”

Ding Ming smiled and said: “It’s more than a trick, we are simply being played on the palm of the hand?”

Bitter Bamboo was taken aback, when Ding Ming said this, his face was full of smiles, without a trace of anger. He was also a shrewd person. With a flash of his eyes, he had fallen into Ding Ming’s heart. On top of the jade pendant, Ding Ming handed the jade pendant over, Kuzhuo’s eyes flashed, and soon, in a slightly tentative tone, he said, “Could it be the person in the Tianji Pavilion?”

Ding Ming also admired Ku Zhuzi’s agility, and said: “I think it must be so, then the cloud without a trace is probably the Lord of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.”

Bitter Bamboo thought for a long while, only to feel that all the mysteries in Yun Wuxian were all solved. As the master of the heavenly secret pavilion, it is even more natural to have such extravagant enjoyment. He claims to be from a family, but he has an attitude no less than that of the children of the family. There are well-trained loyal servants around him, and there are master guards who are generous. He can be regarded as a guest of “Xie Embroidery Workshop” Zhou Dong. He has seen crystal Long Bi knows his whereabouts very well. Such things are difficult to guess. As long as this person is deemed to be the master of the Tianji Pavilion, it is a matter of course. Moreover, this popularity knowledge, there are rare people in the world who can match, but it is unknown, it is impossible, if he is the master of the heavenly secret pavilion, then if he does not have such ability, it will make people doubt his identity. The most important point is that while Yun Wuzong talks, he knows current affairs well, but he has no interest in the dispute between the two countries and is impartial. This is also in line with the image of Tianji Pavilion. Tianji Pavilion has always paid little attention to national disputes, although on the surface He leans towards Nanchu, but he doesn’t seem to be overly rejecting Dayong.

After figuring it out, Ku Zhuzi blurted out and said: “This matter should be told to the general.” He said this because, when he was still a secret spy in his early years, he was ordered to explore the secrets of Tianji Pavilion. After all, Tianji Pavilion The ingenious organs and hidden weapons, all kinds of unbelievable wonderful ideas, are all coveted, even the military of Nanchu and Dayong is no exception, but for more than ten years, the Tianji Pavilion still appears from time to time, even for a moment. Being overwhelmed and losing some strength, but the heavy revenge that followed was enough to make anyone fearful. As a result, even if someone discovers some clues to the whereabouts of the Tianji Pavilion, or is afraid to stun the snake, or throw a rat, they dare not take it casually, often in a very short time, the clues will be cut off. In fact, when the Heavenly Secret Pavilion cannot be wiped out, no forces dare to take action against the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. What’s more, although Tianji Pavilion is powerful, it is not overbearing, nor does it have the ambition to dominate a certain industry. Cooperating with it, it can get the opportunity to grow and develop. If it is an enemy, it will be the end of the family. How many people can summon the courage to be the enemy of Tianji Pavilion. In Nanchu, Tianji Pavilion is such a unique existence.

But now there is an opportunity to control the Tianji Pavilion. The owner of the Tianji Pavilion who has never shown up actually revealed the truth, changed others or was unable to deal with it, but if it was Lu Can, the most powerful general in the southern Chu army, he Have the power to deal with a person who is no longer mysterious.

But as soon as Ku Zhuzi spoke out, Ding Ming flatly said: “This is absolutely impossible. Once this happens, I am afraid that there will be disaster?”

Ku Zhuzi showed a puzzled look, Ding Ming sighed when he saw it, “Ku Zhuo, you are from a family after all. Although you are now a member of the rivers and lakes, there are some things you still can’t see. For people like the Tianji Pavilion Master, He said that his own safety is the most important thing. Since he has asked us not to tell his things, if we violate his will, I am afraid that he will become our greatest enemy. You should also be able to see that he is right. Dayong has no ill feelings. If he casts Dayong in a rage, I am afraid that it will be worse for Nan Chu.”

Ku Zhuzi retorted: “However, Tianji Pavilion has always been regardless of identity or origin. In the past, several important ordnance design drawings were purchased by people from Da Yong. Instead of leaving such an uncontrollable intermediate force, It’s better to keep it firmly in your palm.”

Ding Ming shook his head and said: “Brother Kuzhu Dao, the younger brother took the liberty to ask, is the past hit you so hard that you can’t clearly understand the current situation?”

The bitter bamboo seemed to be hit by someone, and his expression became terrifying, with anger in his eyes, Ding Ming said in awe: “Brother Dao escaped from the dead, but Rong Yuan was expelled from the army for this reason. My heart knot never goes away, and our friends don’t want to hurt you. But today, my little brother wants to ask Brother Dao, the pavilion master of Tianji can faint you and me calmly. If he is poisonous, would you or me? Already killed? If the Lord of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion is so easy to deal with, how can he travel in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. If what I expected is not bad, I am afraid that he has already been flying for a long time, and he has changed his identity and name. Even his appearance may not be the same, otherwise How can he maintain a secret identity for many years. If he does not prevent you and I from being malicious against him, he will not use drugs to stun us.”

Ku Zhuzi’s complexion gradually became stiff, and scenes of past events flashed before his eyes, and finally appeared the boy with the snowy face under the moonlight. He collapsed on the boat and raised his head tiredly after a long time: ” Xiaoding, thank you for waking me up. I am really trapped by the inner demon. Yeah, what kind of power is Tianji Pavilion. At this time, wanting to deal with it by the end, isn’t it seeking a dead end and nothing else, With the support of Tianji Pavilion, I am afraid that Wu Yue will no longer have coastal defense at all. The Wu Yue family is afraid that most of them have business dealings with Tianji Pavilion.”

Seeing that he has awakened, and calling him in the same tone as when he first saw it, Ding Ming felt wide and said with a smile: “Let’s go to Wuzhou now, I think Zhou Dongzhu of Xie Embroidery Workshop should have been prepared. “Ku Zhuzi smiled heartily, threw away the troubles in his heart, picked up the bamboo pole to punt the boat and prepared to go to Wuzhou, but he suddenly screamed. Ding Ming was startled and looked up and said: “What’s the matter?”

The bitter bamboo cried and said with a sad face: “These unscrupulous guys just leave us on the boat, why don’t they tie the boat, and now where we are washed by the lake, I don’t know anymore?”

When Ding Ming heard the words, he was stunned for a while, and then he burst into laughter. The laughter was full of joy. He said to his heart that most of the pavilion master did it on purpose that day, maybe it was to punish Ku Zhuo for his rude words. Looking at the sky and clouds, the free and easy description of the cloud without a trace once again appeared in front of him, “The will of heaven is difficult to ask, and the mechanism is profound.” Although this is the origin of the Tianji Pavilion, but in the eyes of the cloud, I am afraid The real meaning is that “the will of heaven has never been high and difficult to ask, and the relative Tao Ran has forgotten the opportunity.”

“Sneezes” I sneezed a big sneeze and touched my nose. Could someone scold me behind? I don’t know if it is Jiang Haitao or Huo Cong. It is only natural for the two of them to scold me, especially Huo Cong, but I was thrown on the battlefield by me when I was a teenager. Or Hu Yanshou, his face has not looked good since last night, no wonder, unless I arrived at the Yongjun Camp, his face would definitely not look good. Or Xiao Shunzi slandered me in his belly. Since I stopped him from killing people last night, he has been staring at me with cold eyes. If it weren’t for I solemnly warned him not to hide from me, I’m afraid that the two of them will die soon. It’s gone, now he just stared at me, which was already very polite.

At this time, the canoe I was in was heading for Wuxi. Last night, all my subordinates in Nanchu were gathered together in the heart of Zhenze Lake. This was the only time I left Nanchu. Chen Zhen and Han Wuzhi were naturally present, and all the disciples of the secret camp were present except Yulun. As early as the beginning of this year, I sent Chen Zhen and Han Wushou to arrange this meeting, and specifically stated that I would be there. Of course, the time and place were deliberately vague, and I took the opportunity to test the loyalty of all the disciples. They are familiar with things, so I don’t need to worry about reminding them. The result is also gratifying to me. Although it has been almost difficult to meet each other over the years, their loyalty has not diminished.

After meeting with everyone, I gave a clear explanation of the purpose and strategy of Tianji Pavilion in the next few years. This is the reason why I must stay in Zhenze Lake for a few days. Although the Tianji Pavilion was created by me, and the secret camp is my most reliable force, but after a long time away, and a great battle is coming, I can’t ignore any subtle factors. I can only use my eyes to determine their minds and persuade them face to face. Only by accepting my decision can I be sure that I can control the Tianji Pavilion like my own hands, which can help me without damaging the foundation of the Tianji Pavilion. In the next few years, the two countries will inevitably become a fire and water, and news exchanges will become very difficult. For the sake of safety, I will not be able to give them detailed instructions as before. So this time I met, I must have them understand my intentions, and these things can’t be explained clearly by letters, so I have to come in person.

Under my decision, the Tianji Pavilion will remain neutral during the battle between Dayong and South Chu, and it can even be slightly biased towards South Chu. It does not require them to provide Dayong with any information, let alone the cooperation between the inside and the outside. , Even if they were going to provoke the Wu Yue family to support Lu Can’s formation of the rebel army, now they have someone to take over, and they just need to help. When Da Yong Bu steps forward, they only need to take the initiative to cooperate.

Such a decision surprised both Chen Zhen and Bai Yi. Even after Bai Yi hesitated, he euphemistically explained that they did not mind the issue of Chu people’s identity. They were only loyal to me, but I was touched by their feelings. It will not change my decision.

Such a decision was not because of doubting their loyalty. Although they are almost all from Nanchu, they have hardly been treated kindly by the imperial court. I selected the secret camp disciples from the orphans, but I didn’t want them. There are too many ties. Over the years, they have not been dissatisfied because I voted for Da Yong, and have always served me faithfully, so I do not think that they will be rebellious because of their homeland. However, even if these disciples didn’t have any ideas, I couldn’t ignore the limitations of the Tianji Pavilion.

In any case, the foundation of Tianji Pavilion is still in Nanchu. If you say that you have some business dealings with enemy countries, or want to do something that is not conducive to the court, this is a matter of course for a mysterious organization, and Da Yong is more closely related, and it is nothing special for merchants who put their interests first. However, if I want the Tianji Pavilion to cooperate fully with the Yong Army, this will cause the foundation of the Tianji Pavilion to float. Tianji Pavilion was able to show off because of the large number of industries and allies in the south of the Yangtze River. However, most of the shopkeepers and partners in these industries were Chu people, and most of those allies were Chu people. The Tianji Pavilion disciples could not worry about the homeland of Southern Chu, but those Chu people could not help but worry that they might bend their knees in front of the Yong army, but they would not be determined to serve the enemy country. Rather than causing the Tianji Pavilion to catch fire in the backyard, it is better to keep them under the control of Tianji Pavilion, which is easier to induce them to accept Da Yong’s rule. If it makes the Tianji Pavilion disappear and lose its reputation, just like the Splendid Alliance, I can’t bear it. The Tianji Pavilion industry is a place for my subordinates to settle down. The unnecessary loss will make me heartache.

Of course, the most important point is that you can’t do anything beyond your duty. Collecting intelligence and buying over the enemy’s important ministers and generals are Si Wencao’s duties. If I intervene, wouldn’t I be acting beyond my power? I didn’t intend to talk to Si Wen. Cao Zhenggong. Just like what happened to the Fairview League back then, now I think about it, but I am a little troubled. The supervisory officer is Ming Jiansi’s business, but I let the Fairview League go troublesome. Although the result was good, if it caused Li Zhi’s dissatisfaction~IndoMTL .com~ But the gain is not worth the loss. Moreover, Xiahou Yuanfeng carried a scapegoat for me about the Fairview Alliance. If Tianji Pavilion became the target of public criticism this time, would it be possible that Siwen Cao would carry it for me? After much deliberation, the Tianji Pavilion is better to be stable, and the real winner is not to show the mountains and not to dew.

While I was thinking about it, a blue shirt youth walked into the cabin and said respectfully: “My son, Wuxi Fei Ge has handed down the book. Everything is ready. Just wait for my son to get on the road. .”

I woke up and said with a smile: “Shanzi, your achievements in the hidden weapon of the organ are no longer under mine. This time, you have made it yourself. I am naturally relieved that I will not miss my schedule. No flaws will be revealed, but you still have to make arrangements when you get on the ship to avoid people’s eyes and eyes, and not to make people suspicious.”

A surprise flashed in the eyes of the blue shirt youth, and he was very excited by my appreciation, but the teachings he had received forced him to suppress the fluctuations in his mood, promised to retire, and when he left, his eyes swept over Hu Yanshou. .

Hu Yanshou, who has been silent next to him, sighed in his heart. This blue shirt youth looks calm and cold, and his martial arts is obviously not weak. Seeing his temperament and speech, he is also outstanding. Listening to Hou Ye’s name to him, I want to come to eight horses. Of. The Tianji Pavilion meeting last night is still dreamlike. Although he is not qualified to attend, he coldly watched the secret camp disciples enter and exit. Thinking about it today, I am still amazed. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed a land of outstanding people and a gathering of heroes. If the Lord of Southern Chu is also a Mingjun, who can serve and serve the talents, Dayong has no possibility of winning.

After two days of boat trip, I finally arrived at a hidden dock in Wuxi. I walked out of the cabin. I looked at the special cargo ship full of grain and felt melancholy. Boarding this ship means this short escape Time has passed, it is easy to wake up from good dreams, alas!
