Chapter 103 Xu Da
When Xu Wugui was the King of Qi, he kept his disciples in the name of admiration. Among the many disciples, he imitated the Thirteen Grand Guards of the Qingluan Guards to select thirteen confidant soldiers, given their surnames Xu, and arranged them in sequence, from Xu Da to Xu Shisan. The old man guarding the mountain ranked seventh among the thirteen, so he was called "Xu Qi".
In addition to Xu Qi, there are also Xu Da, Xu San, Xu Wu, Xu Jiu and Xu Shisan, with a total of six people.
The responsibilities of the six people are different. Among them, Xu Qi is responsible for guarding Jianxiu Mountain, Xu Jiu is active in the Western Regions, and Xu Shisan goes to the imperial capital. Xu Wu goes out to sea from the ocean and goes to the Great Qin State of Anxi. Xu San is ordered to hide his identity and lie dormant in a certain place. As for Xu Da, he stays in Qizhou.
Qizhou is similar to Zhongzhou, and is a place with complex forces. At that time, Zhongzhou not only had the Wanxiang Academy, but also the Yin-Yang Sect, Zaoge Sect, and Tianle Sect. Today, Qizhou not only had the Sheji Sect and the Mansion of Saints, but also the Qing Wei Sect and Donghua Sect. Therefore, people often say that the Qing Wei Sect of the East China Sea, not the Qing Wei Sect of the Qizhou.
Going further forward, the Qinzhong Governor's Office is in Zhongzhou, while the Qi Prince's Office is in Qizhou.
The Qi Palace was once the core of the three thousand disciples. Even though Xu Wugui was no longer in Qizhou, the Qi Palace was still retained. Although the Qi Palace is no longer the core key, it is still considered a stronghold, and Xu Da is responsible for guarding the place.
"Does go." A woman broke into the Qi Palace and scolded the two guards who were blocking her. Then she used her hand to push the two guards aside and went straight into the lobby.
The chair in the middle of the lobby was empty, which was the position of King Qi. Only one person sat in the left position, with his back against the back of the chair, his hands on the armrest, and his eyebrows were lowered without saying a word. This person looked roughly aware of his destiny, with bright eyes and pupils, and his eyebrows were divided into eight characters, and he was powerful without anger. He was tall and his shoulders were several inches wider than ordinary people. He was tilted in an inverted triangle from chest to waist. His waist was only one bunch, and his pectoral muscles were raised and hard as iron. It was the so-called "tiger arm and bee waist". Looking at his legs again, they looked like a mantis legs. If someone who understands the knowledge here, you can see that this person is an immortal martial artist who only practices his body, and his body is perfect.
This person is not someone else, but Xu Da who is stationed here.
The woman stood still, and two guards followed her, looking embarrassed.
Xu Da raised his eyelids and said, "There is nothing you have to do here, you can go down."
The two guards breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated.
After only Xu Da and the woman were left, Xu Da slowly stood up, looked at the woman, and asked, "What's going on?"
The woman looked at Xu Da and said, "Look for you."
Xu Da said: "What's the matter that has to be discussed in person? Can't you say it in the letter?"
The woman sighed, "An urgent matter, a matter of life and death."
Xu Da's tone was slightly cold, "Miss, you should know where this place is. This is a confidential place for the old master to store various files. How can you break in at will! No matter what major matters that matters are important to you, you should not come."
The woman was furious and clenched her fists, "Old Master! When did you have an old master? Who is the new master?"
"You should understand that whoever gets the old master's 'Yin Yang Immortal Clothes' will be the new master." Xu Da said coldly: "If you want to make trouble, I will accompany you."
The woman slowly let go of her already clenched fists and whispered: "I don't want to make trouble with you now, nor do I care about any status. I do have something to do with my life and death. Just because we have known each other for many years, I can help me. Is it okay?"
After spending many years together, Xu Da never saw a woman so depressed. It was not the style of a woman who asked for help. This "things that are related to life and death" did not seem like an excuse, but it seemed like there was something to ask for. Xu Da's tone gradually softened a little, and he said, "Come with me to the back hall."
After saying that, he should walk in front first and the woman followed him.
When he arrived at the back hall, Xu Da did not sit down, carried his hands on his back, and said, "What is it? Tell me quickly. This is not a place to stay for a long time."
The woman took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, and pointed to the position of her temple, "I have something wrong here."
Xu Da asked: "Before talking about this, I want to ask a question first."
"Okay, ask." The woman answered very simply.
Xu Da asked, "Did Song Zheng send you here?"
The woman was Shangguan Wan. When she heard the word "Song Zheng", her face changed slightly. She was not guilty, but she seemed to hate her. She gritted her teeth and said, "No. No one sent me here. It was because I encountered a problem myself. I want to ask you for help."
Xu Da nodded, "What does that have to do with your brain?"
Shangguan Wan said slowly: "This is not just my brain, but also my upper dantian."
"There is something wrong with your upper dantian, or is it a problem with your soul?" Xu Da said slowly, "It's a pity that the path of human immortals I took is not the path of ghost immortals, and I can't help you."
Shangguan Wan said: "I know you are a martial artist in the path of human immortals and can't help me, but someone can help me."
"Who is it?" Xu Dadao, "I don't care what's wrong with you, because I can't solve it, but I'm curious about the person you mentioned that can help you."
Shangguan Wan said: "Does that person still need to guess? Of course, it is your new master."
Xu Da was not surprised by this answer, "I knew for a long time that you, without the protection of the old master, will be a mess of sand and will only be defeated one by one. In this case, you will either die or return to the new master one by one."
Shangguan Wan suppressed his anger and did not refute.
Xu Da continued: "Do you know why I am so sure?"
Shangguan Wan shook her head.
Xu Da said: "Because the old master likes this, he asks everyone to perform his duties and can only obey his orders. Some people compare the ten Ming officials of the Yin-Yang Sect to the ten fingers of the old master. This metaphor is very appropriate. What can a finger do? Nothing can be done. Only ten fingers can be done under the command of the brain. Moreover, the number of fingers is not important. The key is the brain. As long as the brain is still there, even a finger can do many things. But if the brain is gone, even if the ten fingers are there, it is no different from the chicken feet on the plate. Are you saying I was right?"
Shangguan Wan was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe you are right."
Xu Da said, "I don't know if you have heard these two sentences. One sentence is the officialdom: 'There is no friends in the officialdom, there is no right or wrong in the court, only the two words "profit" are only the words "profit"." The other sentence is the words "there is no such thing as the sea" and "there is only the word "profit" to reflect the future." These two sentences actually have the same meaning. I will help you, what are the benefits? What can I get?"
Shangguan Wan was silent.
Xu Da continued: "You can say that in terms of past relationships, but the premise is that you do not become enemies with your master. It is difficult for me to do it if you refuse to surrender to your master now. I hope you can understand."
"Understand, of course." Shangguan Wan seemed to have made a great decision, "I will give you a credit."
"What credit?" Xu Da narrowed his eyes and looked at Shangguan Wan's up and down.
Shangguan Wan said: "The credit for the surrender and rebel."
Xu Da seemed to understand something, and pointed at the chair against the wall, "It's interesting, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."
Shangguan Wan was not polite, sat on the chair and said, "You gave me a few words just now, and I will give you one more sentence now. This is an old saying. Once the emperor and the ministers are in a timely manner, the old ministers will not be able to gain a foothold in the new master, but it is not possible to have no credit, especially when the new master is enterprising, which is even more so. Now, there is a problem before the new master, that is, how to fully grasp the people left by the old master. This is a problem. Whoever can help him solve this problem is the hero."
Xu Da paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking about it sharply. After a while, he suddenly looked at Shangguan Wan again, "Do you have a way to help your master control the Yin-Yang Sect?"
Shangguan Wan said: "There is no sure thing in the world, I can only say that I am sure. Now you take me to meet your new master. The matter is done, I will solve my own troubles, you will get credit, and we will benefit each other."
Xu Da immediately said, "What if things can't be done?"
Shangguan Wan said: "It is indeed a bit risky to do this. If things fail, it will cause you some trouble, but it is not a big trouble. I know your master. He is an enterprising person, so in his eyes, it is better to do something wrong than not, so at worst you can just get scolded a few words, but in the end, your master understands in his heart that your heart is good. Besides, whether you or me, at most they will make suggestions, and the real decision is still him. What is the big mistake? "
Xu Da understood everything in his heart, and his eyes looked at Shangguan Wan softened, "You said it right. It's my business for me to take you to see the master, but if I don't see you, it's my business, so I just take you to see the master, and I don't have to worry about anything else."
Shangguan Wan asked, "Then... did you agree?"
Xu Dadao: "Yes, I agreed. It happened that the day before yesterday, I and Xu Qi passed the letter. He said that the master would return to Jianxiu Mountain in the next few days. I was planning to go to pay homage. You prepare and go to Jianxiu Mountain with me."
Shangguan Wan nodded.
Xu Da thought about it and said, "I would like to advise you that it is best to figure out everything, after all, there is only one chance."
Shangguan Wan said: "I can pay attention to this."
Xu Da looked at her.
Shangguan Wan hesitated for a moment and said, "I will use Song Zheng's whereabouts as a meeting gift. This meeting gift is heavy enough, right? Even if your master doesn't want it, the Holy Lord Dan Taiyun will want it."
There was a smile on Xu Da's face, "Miss is indeed prepared, and now I feel completely relieved."
Shangguan Wan said: "The rest of the arrangements will be for you."
