Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 360
"Master also has his own plans!" Shen Chengping, the natural way of Wanwan, had some concerns about Zhu Yuyan's meddling in the Dragon and Tiger Gate, but he still persuaded him: "Now the gate is very unstable because the side is not responsible for the destruction of the party. , the slightest carelessness will split, Master also wants to stabilize the situation."

"Of course I know, it's just that sometimes times don't wait for anyone!" Shen Chengping sighed, and said: "Struggling for world hegemony sometimes wins the front line, and I know the people in the door best, most of them are just Some people who are in the middle of nowhere only look at the little profit in front of them, and they are drawn by Lin Shihong one after another, how can they know the general trend of the world!"

Speaking of this, Shen Chengping's eyes flashed, and he said: "After Lin Shihong and the Iron Cavalry Association are swallowed up this time, our Dragon and Tiger Gate will become the biggest force in the south of the Yangtze River. Next, we only need one year to continue to eliminate those forces in the south of the Yangtze River." There are also horse bandits everywhere, even the Song Clan can only cooperate with us. Haven’t everyone in the sect learned their lesson? Their level, when the Northern Qi Dynasty turned from strong to weak, is the reason why they repeatedly made foolish tricks !"

What Shen Chengping was talking about was an old event decades ago. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Northern Zhou and Northern Qi were fighting for the front. At that time, Northern Qi was even stronger than Great Zhou. Faint tricks frequently occurred, and the national power of the Northern Qi was greatly reduced. On the contrary, the national power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty increased greatly under the diligent rule of Emperor Wu of Zhou, and the Northern Qi was destroyed. Later, Emperor Wu of Zhou died young, and Prince Yu Wenyun succeeded to the throne. It's easy to kill, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty lost popular support. This gave Yang Jian the opportunity to create the current Sui Dynasty with the Sui Dynasty.

What happened back then is only a few decades away, and even Zhu Yuyan has experienced it personally, but it is obvious that the Yinkui faction has not learned the lesson from the past, and the political mind is still touching, just like the modern saying, vision determines achievement Well, these people are short-sighted and self-righteous, no wonder they have never won Cihang Jingzhai for so many years.It is precisely because of this that Shen Chengping has been thinking of a way to clean up some of the elders of the Yinkui Sect and let some other people take over.

"Brother Ping, don't worry about it. It just so happens that the master asked me to take over the Yinkui faction during this period. We can also take the opportunity to rectify the Yinkui faction. Even if the master knows by then, it's done. I can only accept it!" Wanwan gently tapped Shen Chengping's forehead with jade fingers like green onions.

"Haha, Master didn't accept it. In fact, she probably already knew a little bit about what we are going to do. This time, it's just going along with the flow!" Shen Chengping couldn't help pinching Wanwan's lovely bridge of nose lightly and said with a smile.

"Really!" Wanwan wrinkled her nose lightly, fixed her eyes on Shen Chengping and asked, "Why didn't I know?!"

"Silly girl, you just didn't think about it carefully!" Shen Chengping continued: "Otherwise, why didn't Master choose to retreat in Baihua Valley, but went directly to Hebei? It's not because he didn't want to be found by those people. When master advised me to stop fighting, master had already reached a consensus with me."

After discussing with Wanwan, Shen Chengping specially summoned a guest, who was considered as a key figure in the original plot, and this was the first official meeting between Shen Chengping and the other party.

When the two met in the courtyard, someone had already set up the wine utensils. There was an exquisite small stove, and the charcoal fire was burning. It was refined from white jade, and the two of them drank together at the same table.

Xu Xingzhi drank the fine wine in the glass lightly, let the wine slowly brew in his mouth, and slowly felt a cool feeling rushing to his heart, as if a cool wind was blowing, and an extremely comfortable feeling in his chest Feeling coming.

"Good wine!" Xu Xingzhi couldn't help applauding, he is not a good drinker, but he also knows that such a drink is rare: "This wine is slightly astringent in the mouth, but it is slowly sweet and sweet, and what's even better is The last faint scent of flowers is the scent of apricot blossoms!" After finishing speaking, he took another sip of the wine, closed his eyes, and slowly felt the delicious wine in his mouth.

"Shen Chengping gently turned the wine glass in his hand. The fat-like wine glass shone with a blurred brilliance in the sun. The clear wine was slightly rippling, and there were dots of flower petals on it, like dots of flower boats. Shen Chengping said: " This is the famous wine in Xinghualou. Called Xinghua Wine, it is brewed from apricot flowers. The water used is the dew in Qingming time. It is the most fragrant and pleasant. The petals on it are dried in the sun. The petals of the apricot blossoms, the warm wine tastes better! "

"I have also heard the name of this apricot blossom wine, but I have no chance to taste it. I didn't expect that there are so many skills in brewing. No wonder I can have such a reputation. This time I can drink this apricot blossom wine. This trip is false!" Xu Xingzhi said.

Shen Chengping said with a smile: "In this way, you can drink more, not to mention other things here, good wine is definitely enough!"

Then the two chatted some gossip, Shen Chengping asked about the things in those places in Jingling, one of Xu Xing came along, he was originally from Jingling, and he spoke in a very orderly manner, Xu Xingzhi suddenly asked: "Master Shen is now in command of the Dragon and Tiger Gate, which is so powerful that it shakes the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know what's the next plan?"

Shen Chengping knew the other party's intentions as soon as he heard it. This false action was the military adviser who advised Kou Zhong in the original plot. His talents are not described in the book, but he could be able to deal with Kou Zhong when Kou Zhong was wandering around all day long. , the ability to manage one side in an orderly manner, and Xu Xingzhi's talents are absolutely extraordinary, not a little worse than the so-called Lingyan Pavilion heroes later.

Because of this, Shen Chengping has been paying attention to relevant information. When he found Xu Xingzhi, he invited him to Longhumen many times. The reason for asking is to see Shen Chengping's pattern and vision.

Shen Chengping drank a glass of wine slowly, and said slowly: "Yang Guang returned from the three expeditions to Koryo. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the construction of canals and other hard work drove the people's strength to the extreme. In today's world, although the Sui court It is not destroyed, but it is already unable to control the situation in all directions, just like the current Jiangnan, most places no longer follow the orders of the imperial court!"

Xu Xingzhi nodded, but he didn't say a word. The current situation is obvious. As long as he pays a little attention, he can see that what he wants to hear is not these general talks. If Shen Chengping's next words are as boring as now, I'm afraid it's impossible to impress Xu Xingzhi to work for him.
