Chapter 273
Song Du was originally supposed to take office in Quzhou seven days ago, but he insisted on staying in the capital for an extra seven days. There was only one reason for him. The grandson of the Grand Master Zhang got married.
This gesture of goodwill earned Zhang Juzheng thanks.
But in fact, during these seven days, what he did was not just to attend a wedding. He entered the East Palace, he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also entered a bunch of court officials' mansions, giving generous gifts to thank the court officials for their kindness. Cultivation and love, this is what any official should do before being released, and no one has any objections.
Today, everything has been done and the Zhang family's marriage is over. It's time for him to take up the post in Quzhou, so he went to the Ministry of Officials early in the morning to get the official seal, and today he will leave for Quzhou to take up the post.
Lin Su bowed slightly: "Master Song!"
He is different from his second brother, when Lin Jialiang met Song Du, he met him with the courtesy of relatives, and Song Du didn't care about him. Today, Lin Su met him with the courtesy of an official.
"Lin Su, get on the sedan chair."
"Thank you, sir!" Lin Su stepped onto the sedan chair.
"It's just you and me now, you don't have to follow official etiquette, you can call me uncle." Song Du smiled.
A smile slowly appeared on Lin Su's face: "My uncle has been promoted two grades in a row, and he is going to Quzhou to take up his post. It's really gratifying!"
Song Du said: "There are ups and downs in the officialdom, and the changes are unpredictable. Going to Quzhou, there is a lot of controversy between the court..."
"Oh? What's the controversy?"
Song Du sighed and said: "The contradiction between Qin Fangweng and you is well known throughout the court. It is said that Yang De also has a grudge with you. Both of them ended up like this, but His Majesty asked me to take up the post in Quzhou to fill the vacancy... Some people in the court even said that everything was planned by you, Lin Su, whose purpose was to promote me to the throne."
Lin Su laughed: "It's not surprising that those conspiracy theorists have such an idea to kill the two prefects and promote their own relatives. The strange thing is...how do they believe that I have such abilities?"
"Your ability has never been underestimated by anyone. Qin Fangweng is a feudal lord with his back to the court. His position is so secure. If you go to the rivers and lakes, don't you also win it?"
"...How did I hear that Qin Fangweng can't really be taken down? He may be released from the prison at any time? Even return to the court?"
Song Du said: "Yes, the three divisions interrogated, but failed to find any evidence of his collusion with his hometown. The big men of the court and China jointly signed the guarantee, and His Majesty's imperial decree has been issued. These days, let Qin Fangweng reflect on himself three times in the prison. The day after the autumn sacrifice, let him out of the prison."
Lin Su said: "Isn't that right? I, Lin Su, have no real ability. I spent a lot of effort, willing to risk all kinds of dangers, and finally found some evidence of Qin Fangweng's crime. Just wipe it off... So, Uncle, you still have to tell those big guys, don't be afraid of me, Lin Su, I'm actually not a shit."
Song didn't even know how to answer...
"Uncle is going to Quzhou. It's a long way. Su won't delay Uncle's trip. Let's say goodbye!" Lin Su clasped his hands together, got out of the car, and strode away.
He went, and Song Du looked at his back for a long time.
The driver who was driving the car entered the car at some point: "My lord, what's your judgment?"
Song Du said: "I'm a little uneasy...the matter of Qin Fangweng may cause complications."
"The matter of Qin Fangweng, His Majesty has issued an imperial decree, what can he do? Could it be that he dared to kill Qin Fangweng directly?"
Song Dudao: "It stands to reason that he can't do anything, but when I said that Qin Fangwenghui saw his eyes when he came out of the prison on the second day of the autumn festival, the eyes told me that he didn't want to admit defeat... ...Tell it to His Highness, let His Highness be careful!"
"Yes!" The figure of the coachman flashed and disappeared without a trace.
……
Autumn is high and the air is crisp, and swan geese fly south.
There are sons in the capital, and the white horse is like snow.
Lin Su set foot on Jianghu Road again. He did not choose to step into the air, nor did he choose to travel far by boat. Instead, he bought a white horse, dressed in Jianghu knight's clothes, with a long sword on his waist, and a furious horse in fresh clothes. Into the rivers and lakes.
As a great Confucian, he can use the power of literature and Taoism to travel thousands of miles through the sky.
As the inspector of the capital, it is also a normal option to go to Xizhou by boat.
But he chose to dress up as a man from the rivers and lakes, and entered the rivers and lakes with a sword.
This move was unexpected as soon as it started.
But for him, it was the only correct option.
Why?Xizhou has already laid out the chessboard and took the lead. Can he follow the route designed by the enemy?No matter whether he went to Xizhou with smooth progress or by boat, he would inevitably step on the opponent's chessboard. He lost half of his trip to Xizhou before it even started.
Therefore, he can only change easily.
When a swordsman enters the rivers and lakes, he is just a drop of nameless water.
Thirty miles out of the city, Lin Su didn't go west, but turned his horse's head and turned to Zezhou.
Is this also a hidden track?
Actually not, he went to Zezhou to meet someone!
The capital of Zezhou is called Xijing, and it is also a prosperous place with a long history. There are five capitals in Dacang, the capital is Zhongjing, and there are four cities in the southeast, northwest, and Liudu.
Why stay in the capital?In peacetime, it is only an important town. If something happens to Zhongjing and it is occupied by the enemy, the other four capitals may be used at any time to fulfill the important tasks of a country's administration.
As a city built by Liudu, it is naturally no small matter. Especially recently, it has been very lively. The main reason is that the south of the city has changed dramatically. The south of the city was originally the ancestral residence of the Qin family, but it was turned into flat ground by a mysterious force overnight. .It's so eye-catching.
The mysterious power capable of sweeping across hundreds of miles, the mysterious master capable of moving mountains with one sword, are legendary existences in the Jianghu.
Therefore, the seventeen practice sects around sent countless masters to find out the truth.
I really don't know if I don't explore, I am shocked when I explore.
There are definitely people on that high mountain, but no one can get close to it, even the island owner of Nanchuan Island, the overlord of a generation who is a line away from Xiangtianfadi, was cut off by a sword light when he stepped on the hillside only three feet away He cut half of his hair, that sword, not to mention that Nanchuan Island Master couldn't block it, he didn't even see a ghost.
Therefore, this newly formed hill has become a holy place in the eyes of practitioners.
Countless people stood around the hill, waiting for a vague opportunity, they longed to be received by an expert.One day, two days, ten days, one month, from midsummer to autumn coolness, from thousands of miles of drought to autumn rain, and to today's clear sky and thousands of miles, the number of people is increasing...
Lin Su came from afar on a white horse, and was a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
so many people?
What are you doing?
Passing through the crowd and listening to their words, he quickly understood, those who are apprentices, those who ask for advice...
When he reached the foot of the mountain, there was a roadblock in front of him. A swordsman in blue slammed his long sword out of its sheath and pointed at Lin Su: "Bold madman, get off your horse quickly, don't disturb the master."
Lin Su smiled, and turned his gaze to the top of the mountain: "Old man, if I bring you some wine, is it a disturbance?"
As soon as the voice fell, he and the white horse he was sitting on suddenly broke through the air at the same time, and went up to the top of the mountain without a sound...
The monks around were all dumbfounded, I C!Is that all right?That old man doesn't like anything else, he just likes wine...
Hurry to buy wine...
So, a group of people rushed to Xijing, to the wine shop...
On the top of the mountain, Lin Su saw Dugu Xing. The old man had a rusty sword on his knee.
Dugu Xing slowly raised his head, looking at Lin Su's attire with passion: "You are not in the attire of a literati today, have you figured it out and are willing to be this Jianmen disciple?"
In other words, accepting Lin Su as an apprentice was really the old man's biggest expectation in the past month.
It's just that he also knows that Lin Sunai is the champion of this year, and the possibility of becoming his disciple is extremely small, but there is still a dream, what if it comes true?
There is an ancient legend in Jianmen. When the peerless Tianjiao enters the sword, the world is also shocked.
In the thousand years of history, there are only two people who caused sword cries, one is Li Zexi, the legend of swordsmanship thousands of years ago, and the other is the person in front of him.
Although he also knew that the main reason why Lin Su caused Jianming was that he had solved the real secret of Jianming Mountain, not breaking through the level but imparting sword skills, but within three days, he could learn the first three moves of Dugu Nine Swords Man, how terrifying?Even Li Zexi, who was born with a sword body thousands of years ago, took a full month to learn the same level of swordsmanship as the Dugu Nine Swords, which is still an unprecedented speed in the entire sword sect.
The person in front of him is even more legendary than the legendary figure of Jianmen thousands of years ago.
He is already a thousand years old, and Jianmen has fallen. What could be more gratifying to this old man than accepting a peerless genius to continue the incense of Jianmen?
Lin Su shook his head gently: "I came here today just to bring some wine to the old man. The weather is getting colder and the snow season is coming soon. The old man is alone on the lonely mountain. I can't accompany you. There are only several jars of wine. Accompany the old man to spend this long and severe winter."
As soon as he raised his hand, a monster storage bag appeared in his palm. The bag was opened, and twenty altars of fine wine were placed in front of Dugu Xing.
Dugu Xing was somewhat disappointed, but also somewhat relieved.
"This old man has been in seclusion for many years, and he really hasn't drunk the world's wine for ten years. It's good for you to have this heart! Come... have a drink with me!"
Lin Su clasped his hands together, and two large porcelain bowls appeared in his palms. As soon as the wine jar was opened, the rich aroma filled the entire mountain immediately.
Dugu Xing's eyes brightened: "What a delicious wine! Is there a new wine in the world?"
"Senior, please!" Lin Su raised his hand and took a big sip first.
Dugu Xing took a bowl of wine first, after which his whole body was shaken, he turned the bowl over, poured the whole bowl of wine into his mouth, there was not a single drop left...
His body seemed to be a sculpture, standing still on a high mountain.
After a long time, President Dugu breathed out a mouthful of alcohol: "The wine I drank before is considered a waste... What is the name of this wine?"
"The edge of the white clouds!"
"Bai Yun Bian, what a bold wine name, but I don't know which expert made it?"
"This...isn't important!" Lin Su said, "Senior, I'm here today and I want to talk to you about something."
"Let's talk!" Dugu Xing stretched out his hand and hugged the two bowls of wine jug in Lin Su's hand directly into his arms, and poured himself a bowl...
Lin Sudao: "If you want to defile the Heavenly Sealing Sword and release the Black Bone Demon, in the eyes of seniors, should you die?"
A cold light flashed in Dugu Xing's eyes suddenly, like a sharp sword fixed in his eyes: "Naturally!"
"However, its real leader will be released from the dungeon in half a month. Not only will he be unscathed, but he may also be promoted to the imperial court!"
With a bang, the wine jar in Dugu Xing's hand fell heavily, directly smashing the bluestone slab. He raised his eyes and fixed his position on Lin Su's face: "Da Cang's first iron rule, how dare they disobey it?"
"Da Cang's first iron rule, no one dares to disobey it on the surface, but they found a reason. This matter was done by his old Qin family. As the prefect of Quzhou, Qin Fangweng has nothing to do with it. I don’t know, so-called, those who don’t know are not guilty!”
Dugu Xing sneered and said: "The owner of the family doesn't know, but the family members dare to do such a thing? How can they do such a thing? Do you believe such a mentally retarded statement?"
"Of course I don't believe it!...but what can I do? In terms of status, I'm just a fifth-rank inspector, and in terms of combat power, I'm not enough to change the world! I can only watch them turn right and wrong, black and white!" Lin Su said: "I It’s not worth it for me to travel thousands of miles that day, I’m not worth it for Fengtianjian, and I’m even more not worth it for the three thousand heroic souls of Jianmen in the past!...Come on, pour me a bowl too, I’ll use wine to drown my sorrows ..."
Dugu Xing looked at him coldly, and didn't pour him wine at all. After a long time, a smile slowly appeared on his face: "Boy, I understand what you mean, I think it's okay for me to make a move, promise me one thing Can."
"you say!"
Dugu Xing said: "Next year, you will participate in the Yaochi Conference as a disciple of Jianmen."
Lin Su's heart skipped a beat. He had originally planned to attend the Yaochi meeting next year, to see another scenery other than the court, but as a disciple of Jianmen?You old man haven't given up yet?Want me to inherit the mantle of Jianmen?
He pondered for a long time: "Senior, we have already discussed this matter..."
"I didn't say to let you be my disciple, I just participated in a practice meeting in name!"
"Why do you have to participate?"
Dugu Xing sighed: "I was stimulated..."
What's going on?
A few days ago, someone came, it was one of his former enemies, this person ridiculed that Jianmen had fallen, and said that Jianmen was destroyed!Therefore, he needs a disciple to show his face!
"The meeting in Yaochi, I don't give you a preset goal, you don't need to overwhelm the crowd...Of course, you can't overwhelm if you want to, you just need to tell the whole world a word!"
"Which sentence?"
"The sword gate is not destroyed, but the strength of character still exists!"
When he said these eight words, there was light in Dugu Xing's eyes.
In the past, Jianmen was mighty and powerful, and disciples of Jianmen ran rampant in the world, but today, there is only an old man, a lonely mountain, a rusty broken sword, and a wish buried in the bottom of my heart.
All of this was due to a bloody battle thousands of years ago.
In that battle, the Sword Gate came out in full force, and three thousand masters spilled blood on the battlefield, none of them returned. They gave the whole world a home to live and work in peace and contentment, but they themselves became synonymous with stupidity, and they are still laughed at today!
Lin Su stood up slowly: "I promise you!"
"Joining the Yaochi Club, you represent Jianmen. Even if you haven't joined Jianmen, you can't be ignorant of the way of the sword. Let me tell you about the way of the sword..."
Jianmen follows the way of the sword, and the way of the sword spans the way of practice and the way of martial arts...
There are countless sects who cultivate swords in the world, and the sword sect has a unique skill...
The secret of Jianmen kendo is actually twelve words: the sword move is the end, the sword intention is the outline, and the sword heart is the king.
It is precisely because of the determination of the twelve-character policy that Jianmen can stand out among the many sects, overwhelming the world, why?Because other sword sects spend a lot of time learning sword moves, but Jianmen doesn't pay attention to sword moves at all, so they have more time to explore sword intent. When sword intent is strong, even the most common moves can defeat the enemy , without sword intent, no matter how brilliant a sword move is, it's just flamboyant fists and embroidered legs...
