Eternal Sword

Chapter 424: Letter from the Old Pavilion Master

Outside Langya Pavilion.

"Ye Xuan, how is the old Pavilion Master these days?"

"My uncle is fine. Thank you for your concern, brother."

"In recent years, the Xuantian Sect has become more rampant, and the martial arts world is not peaceful. The Shadow Tower seems to be showing signs of revival. At the end of the year's martial arts conference, it is said that a martial arts leader will be elected to call on fellow martial artists from all major sects to attack the Xuantian Sect. Doesn't the Sword Pavilion plan to step in and take charge of the situation?"

Ye Xuan was silent.

A moment later, Ye Xuan's sleeves shook, and a handwritten letter fell into his palm and was handed to Wang Xiaobo.

Wang Xiaobo just raised his eyebrows slightly and did not take it.

Ye Xuan said calmly: "This time I came down the mountain, in addition to coming to Langya Pavilion to see Zhiwei, there is another thing, which is to deliver a letter to you on behalf of my uncle."

Wang Xiaobo took the letter only after hearing that it was written by the old Pavilion Master.

Ye Xuan said: "Regardless of whether you believe in the contents of this letter or not, please burn it after reading it."

Wang Xiaobo's heart trembled.

The old Pavilion Master wrote a letter and asked Ye Xuan to come down the mountain to find him in person. It must be a matter of great importance!

Over the years, the old Pavilion Master has retired to the East Mountain and no longer cared about the affairs of the martial arts world. What could be worthy of a handwritten letter from him?
The old Pavilion Master rarely comes out, and that was only twice.

One was the Han Wen Rebellion, and the other was the Battle of Xiajiang.

Directly rewrite the pattern of Daxia and the world!

Wang Xiaobo gently opened the folded letter and in a moment, he had finished reading the contents.

His palms shook, and his internal energy surged in and out.

The letter instantly turned into powder, drifted down the cliff with the wind and disappeared.

Wang Xiaobo looked solemn.

The content of the handwritten letter was too shocking. With his knowledge, he was filled with shock and fear in his heart!
If someone else told him about this, he would just treat it as a huge joke.

But this handwritten letter came from the old Pavilion Master.

If it were before today, even if it was written by the old Pavilion Master himself, he would still have some doubts.

But combined with today's news, what is in the letter is most likely true!
Wang Xiaobo hesitated for a long time before he slowly said, "I will go back and think about the old Pavilion Master's suggestion. I will give you a reply when I have made a decision."

Ye Xuan said: "Before the martial arts conference at the end of the year."

"I know."

Wang Xiaobo took a deep breath, and after a while, he still hadn't recovered from what had just happened.

"Who do you think can be the commander of the Northern Expedition after me?"

After a while, Wang Xiaobo changed the subject and asked casually.

Ye Xuan said: "My brother is in his prime and has won the trust of His Majesty. There is no need to consider this matter."

Although Wang Xiaobo is over 60 years old, he is a master after all. Even in his eighties or nineties, he can still maintain his peak condition.

At the Grandmaster level, the maximum life span is 120 years. Only after reaching 100 years old, his condition will gradually decline, his Qi and blood will decay, and he will reach his peak.

"hehe."

Wang Xiaobo smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Recently, Shen Guobao has been advising His Majesty to reduce my power. Moreover, no matter whether the old Pavilion Master succeeds or fails, I will be in danger of death. I have to prepare for the rainy day and make plans for the Northern Expedition Army first."

"Not really, my brother is a little pessimistic."

Ye Xuan's tone was calm, and he still did not directly answer Wang Xiaobo's question.

Seeing that Ye Xuan was avoiding the topic, Wang Xiaobo simply asked directly, "How is Liu Daojian? He is a brave general promoted by you. He is resourceful and brave. He has followed you for many years. You must know him a little bit."

Ye Xuan was silent for a while before he said, "You can be a general, but not a commander."

There are some things he can't say too clearly.

In front of Ye Taoyuan, he could casually say that he was good at making plans but lacked decision-making, and was fickle.

But in front of Wang Xiaobo, he had to be cautious, otherwise he would be suspected of making trouble behind his back and sowing discord, which might backfire. The implication of "suitable to be a general but not a commander" was that Liu Daojian was not suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army and take over Wang Xiaobo's position.

This person is only suitable to work under Wang Xiaobo.

Wang Xiaobo smiled and asked, "In ancient times, the so-called generals were called scholar generals, great generals, talented generals, and combat generals. Which one is Dao Jian?"

Ye Xuan said: "Commander."

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Xiaobo laughed loudly, but he disagreed in his heart.

Although Liu Daojian was the second-in-command in the Northern Expedition Army, he was always wary of him.

After all, he was an old member of the Northern Expedition Army and was once highly valued by Ye Xuan.

It was not until this moment that his doubts about Liu Daojian completely disappeared.

As for Ye Xuan's evaluation of Liu Daojian, he didn't care at all.

He trusts his own vision more.

Liu Daojian rose rapidly under his command and became a general of the Northern Expedition Army. He had just confronted Ye Xuan in Langya Pavilion and the situation was tense.

There had long been a rift between the two of them, and it was only natural that Ye Xuan did not think highly of him.

When Ye Xuan heard Wang Xiaobo's laughter, he sighed in his heart and said no more.
-
into the night.

Chen Tang lay in bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

So many things happened in Langya Pavilion during that day and night, and it seemed so long.

Fortunately, it has been resolved satisfactorily. Although there were some twists and turns, it was ultimately resolved without any major problems.

At this moment, Chen Tang felt something and looked sideways at a hanging beam on the roof.

In the darkness above the hanging beam, there was a pair of bright eyes, staring at him without blinking.

Chen Tang laughed in silence and asked, "A-Li, why haven't you slept yet?"

Many times, even if there were two beds in the room, Ali would not stay in bed obediently.

Sometimes, she would run to the corner and take a nap leaning against the wall.

Sometimes, she would lie on the table.

Sometimes, like this, she ran to the roof and found a beam to lie on.

No matter how Chen Tang tried to persuade her, it was useless, so he just let her do what she wanted.

Perhaps after some time, Ali will realize that he is not facing threats all the time and slowly adapt to life in the normal world, and he will return to normal.

Ali didn't say anything, just blinked his eyes.

Ever since she could remember, she had always been shrouded in darkness and coldness and had never felt any warmth.

Therefore, she would remember any kindness Chen Tang showed her.

It could be the unintentional concern, or it could be the food brought to her, all of which were like a little sunshine that drove away the darkness and coldness, making her feel a little warmth.

A trace of pity arose in Chen Tang's heart.

He was originally a good child, but he was kidnapped and brought to the hermit world, where he was tortured and turned into something neither human nor ghost.

She was even poisoned by her former master and became mute.

Chen Tang touched the jade pendant that Su Li had given him.

Su Li said that Ali's symptoms may be cured.

Knowing that she was safe and sound and had found her relatives, he felt relieved.

After staying in Langya Pavilion for a few days to recuperate, he prepared to leave with Ali and head to Yuezhou Yiyin Hall.
