Chapter 32 Chapter 32 The Magician’s Foresight

The Confucius Temple on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the south of the city was built in the seventh year of Song Tiansheng.It faces the Qinhuai River in front, overlooks Zhongshan Mountain in the east, and the scenery on both sides of the river is pleasant, with river houses, waterside pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. Another charm. The sacred place that the scholars yearn for today is elegant and solemn with many buildings and pavilions. In front of the temple, surrounded by dikes on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, it is majestic. When Qi Changzheng and Meng Qingqing stepped up to the stone temple leading to the Confucius Temple, they had a panoramic view of the Qinhuai scenery.

Meng Qingqing said with a smile as she walked: "This bridge is the 'Half Moon Bridge' which is as famous as the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon in the West Lake of Hangzhou. A rare spectacle." Qi Changzheng was no stranger to her rich knowledge of geographical places.Seeing that she is talking and laughing freely, without the slightest bit of nervousness, I can already infer that this female martial arts is also extremely good.Because at least I haven't been able to imitate her calmness and let go of her arms. The two talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and passed through the two-foot-tall wooden archway that read "Tianxia Wenshu" and entered the ocher-red temple wall of the Confucius Temple.

At this time, it was still early, and the tourists in the Confucius Temple were left out. Under the guidance of Meng Qingqing, they walked through the temple courtyard, passed the tablet enshrining "the seat of Confucius, the most holy teacher of Dacheng", and entered the side courtyard with towering cypresses from the west corridor. Meng Qingqing sighed quietly, bowed her head and said, "Brother Qi! Qingqing really doesn't want to share life and death with you, but unfortunately she has no other choice." Qi Changzheng was stunned and said, "Oh! So this is the good place for the decisive battle you said. It is indeed good. As long as we walk into the forest, no one will know who died."

Meng Qingqing pondered for a while and said: "Before I came to you, Li Chimei reminded Qingqing that you are a person who is not afraid of death by nature. I really believe it until now, so Qingqing will never fight with you on the point of courage. You fight for length." Qi Changzheng's heart shuddered, knowing that she had made a move to put pressure on him with words, launching an offensive that weakened his confidence.Smiling slightly, he said, "As long as you want to kill me, you will inevitably compete with me for courage and exchange your life for your life. Otherwise, the princess might as well go back to Jurchen to learn sewing."

Meng Qingqing led him deep into the forest, and said with a smile: "My sewing skills have long been crowned in the whole family, so why learn it again? I'm not afraid to tell you, my sword name is 'Weaver Girl', and my sword technique is also called 'Weaver Girl Sword' "Fa', focus on defense, and only three moves to attack, if you can block all of them, Qingqing will reward you with a sweet kiss and send you off." After speaking, she stood still, gracefully spun around her fragrant body, and looked at him coldly. The majestic young swordsman was about six paces away.

Qi Changzheng was addicted to martial arts like a madman, his fingers itched when he heard this, and asked: "What is the name of these three moves?" Meng Qingqing said softly: "The first move is called 'Magpie Bridge and Fairy Crossing', which refers to the sad and beautiful story of your Cowherd and Weaver Girl meeting every year. Alas! You may wonder why Qingqing even used the legend of your country for her sword moves, Because Qingqing really admires the culture of your country." Qi Changzheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So you are so envious that you want to invade our land and children. Hey! Don't mention these boring things, come! What is the second trick?"

After Meng Qingqing gave him a coquettish look, she reluctantly said: "The second trick is derived from a poem, which is called 'Meeting the Wind and the Dew'." Although Qi Changzheng only has a rough grasp of literary and ink, he has finally heard such a widely recited poem, and he knows the meaning of the words "when the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world".Can't help admiring: "Such a beautiful name and sword move, how can my old Qi not know it." Meng Qingqing happily pulled out the Weaver Girl Sword, and said with a smile, "If you want to see it, do it!"

Qi Changzheng laughed out loud, drew out the Heavenly Soldier Sword, and said, "Princess, why don't you tell me the name of the third move before you do it?" Meng Qingqing smiled and said: "You can block these two tricks before we talk!" With a slender hand, thousands of sword flowers immediately filled Qi Changzheng's front. When Mrs. Zhen walked into the hall with Fang Yeyu, there were only eight people including Li Chimei, Nian Liandan, Ren Bi, You Chidi, Qiang Wangsheng, Hua Zhaao, Shanchayue, and Zhusou drinking tea with Pang Ban. . Ying Fei, Liu Yaozhi, and Meng Qingqing, the three qualified attendees, all disappeared, while the Red Sun Dharma King, as usual, did not attend the gathering.Even Pang Ban's presence still cannot change his habit.

Pang Ban sits on the master chair at the listening end, his majestic face exudes a leisurely and elegant attitude, just the movement of raising a cup and drinking tea gives people a feeling of perfection, that detached charm, shocking Heart magic and charm. Sitting down on both sides of the head, the masters from different races outside the region restrained their arrogance and watched respectfully the invincible masters who have ruled the world for the past sixty years. When Pang Ban's eyes fell on Mrs. Zhen, she had a feeling that her mind and body were completely naked and open, as if she had no worries or secrets that could be hidden from this great figure.

She followed Fang Yeyu to salute Pang Ban, and then sat in the two chairs on the right of Kong Yu's head. Fang Yeyu's eyes glowed with admiration, and he said shamelessly: "Yeyu is ashamed to see Master. After coming to Beijing, he has not completed any important tasks." Pang Ban's eyes sparkled with excitement, slowly swept across the crowd, and smiled slightly: "Ye Yu, you are wrong, you have done a very good job. Come! Have a cup of tea!" Standing behind Pang Ban, the black and white servants immediately went forward to refill tea for everyone. Fang Yeyu said: "Master comforts Ye Yu so much, this disciple feels even more ashamed!"

Pang Ban smiled again and said: "As a teacher, how can I have the leisure to comfort you, Su Shan can understand what I mean?" Zhen Sushan didn't expect that Pang Ban would suddenly test her, her pretty face blushed, and she looked at the world's number one expert. When she met the other person's eyes, her heart jumped wildly, she unconsciously lowered her head, and said softly: "The magician pointed Whether or not we can safely come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty today and start a struggle for world hegemony with the Han people is already a remarkable achievement." Pang Ban nodded happily, and said lightly, "Well said!" Turning to everyone, he said, "You guys are able to sit here today, drinking tea and chatting with Pang, which means that the Ming room has been planted with the seeds of disaster. I dare to say, No matter what direction things are going, Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer able to expand his territory outside the region, which means that we have completed the most basic goal." Nian Liandan frowned and said, "The magician's words are reasonable, but do we still have to look at the development of the past few days before we can judge the success or failure of our trip?" Pang Ban raised his head to the sky with a long laugh, shook his head and said: "No, no, this matter is waiting for the masters to fight, so why see the real chapter before we can say victory or defeat." Then he sighed softly: "Ye Ming's problem is that he focuses on success or failure. That's why I have a heart of gains and losses. Who knows how things can go as you wish, as long as you can let go and participate in this incomparably wonderful game, you will live up to this life. Chi Mei will understand what I said." Gathering everyone is superior to intelligence, he listened in awe, and understood Pang Ban's broad mind beyond success or failure. Li Chimei laughed dumbly and said: "The magician praised Chi Mei too much. In fact, Chi Mei was worried all night because she couldn't kill Han Bai yesterday." The sunlight from Pangban Shenguang took a deep look at Li Chimei, smiled happily, seemed to appreciate his confession very much, and said calmly: "The problem is that you still don't understand what the 'Dao Heart Planting Demon Dafa' is. To a certain extent, I have underestimated the magic of meeting and combining Dao-born demon species." Then solemnly said: "Chi Zunxin is Han Bai, but Han Bai is not as simple as Chi Zunxin. Or it can be said that with Han Bai's pure and beautiful body, Chi Zunxin will not be subject to any restrictions. You can continue to move towards the ultimate realm of martial arts between heaven and man, and you can also correct the wrong direction you took during your lifetime and set things right. Regardless of the development and achievements that will be brought about by combining with the Taoist fetus, it is only this point that you can know that you will kill How difficult Han Bai is." Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Pang Ban to have such a high opinion of Han Bai, and they also thought that their side had indeed underestimated Han Renbi and sighed: "No wonder Qin Mengyao fell in love with Han Bai!" Yu Chidi said angrily, "If there hadn't been for Lang Fanyun and the two of them who fought against each other last night, Han and Qin would have been chilled." Naturally, Pang Ban could hear the implication in his tone that he blamed himself for not taking an early action against Lang Fanyun, and said with a light smile, "Without Lang Fanyun, how boring this game would be." His eyes lit up and he said: "The Han people have experienced my rule of Dameng for nearly a hundred years, and they already have deep hatred for foreign people, and they want to rule in chaos. Even if we can re-enter the Central Plains, we have to govern such a large area like before. The huge land of Middle-earth, if you wait for a boat in an angry sea, you will end up with a shipwreck and people will die. It is a delusion to restore the former scenery. Back then, I ignored the matter of Dameng, and it was for this reason that I knew it was impossible. Doing it for what you want is just a foolish act of obsession." Li Chimei patted the armrest, made a crisp sound, and sighed: "I told you this, Mage, Chimei felt relaxed, and felt even more motivated and full of confidence." Madam Zhen's heart filled with respect, and she asked respectfully, "How can the magician conclude that all rebellions can be quelled by avoiding the bright room, but still unable to invade the west?" Pang Ban's eyes fell on Zhen Sushan's pretty face, and immediately softened, and said with a faint smile, "Ye Yu's plan is really a plan, and there is a plan within the plan. The most important thing is the ghost king and the Yan king. The plan has all failed, and the relationship between the ghost king and Zhu Yuanzhang is also difficult to maintain balance." After a pause, he continued: "Because of you making such a fuss, Zhu Yuanzhang missed a golden opportunity to deal with the ghost king and Yan king. The root cause of the Ming Dynasty's struggle for the throne is that there is no way to look around. Besides, the prosperity must decline. It can be asserted that the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the previous generation, but on the contrary, the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions have been under pressure for a long time, and there must be a land of greatness to emerge and set foot in the Central Plains again, but this is by no means wishful thinking." Everyone's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and they seemed to be able to see through the future development of the bright room. The heavy burden that was originally on their shoulders suddenly became irrelevant. Fang Yeyu nodded and said: "Yeyu has always had this idea, of course he is not as sure and clear as Master, but once faced with the key to life and death, he can't help but care about gains and losses, and even become delusional and greedy, hoping to get everything Victory, now I know that this will only create many obstacles." Pang Ban smiled and said: "A military strategist fights without giving up, but if it is about fighting for the world, it can be extended to infinite distances in space and time. If you lose it, you can gain it. Set goals, advance if you can advance, and retreat if you can’t advance, how interesting this game is.” Everyone was in high spirits, and the frustration of killing Han and Qin last night was swept away. Pang Ban said: "Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest problem is that he can't let go of the world's selfishness. But no matter how hard he tries, he can't overcome the unpredictable nature of nature. The more he wants to establish rules and regulations that his successors can follow, destroy It came sooner and sooner, ha! Old Zhu! I never thought that you were so smart all your life, but you are so foolish about this matter, you can see that selfishness really hurts people." Everyone was overwhelmed when they heard it, and Pang Ban's insight was indeed superior to others. Pang Ban further analyzed: "For example, if King Yan ascends to the throne in another day, the first thing to do is to abandon Yingtian and take Shuntian as his capital, because the north is his base." Then he smiled and said: " I think that when Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding capital of the country, it lasted 21 years and mobilized the Ministry of Industry and the three guards of Henghai, Baotao, and Feixiong, plus the power of 28 prefectures and 180 counties and the other three towns, which cost a lot of money. manpower and material resources. Only the needs of city bricks mobilized 152 prefectures in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu and other three provinces, all of which consumed about 250 million huge bricks, while Jiangnan The wealthy households were all forced to donate huge sums of money, and 280,000 households were recruited to take charge of the project regardless of the number of laborers." Haha laughed and continued: "If King Yan wants to take Shuntian as his The scale of Beijing will definitely not be inferior to that of Yingtian, but with this consumption, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to have the strength to expand outwards. Moreover, when King Yan was firmly established as the emperor, he only knew how to consolidate his power as Zhu Yuanzhang now, so that he can enjoy his old age comfortably. There is also leisurely invasion of the west. Without Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Wang, the overlords who are so talented and bold to expand outward in their lifetime, what is the Ming Dynasty afraid of?" Everyone was dumbfounded.On the one hand, because Pang Ban knew everything about the founding of the capital in the Ming Dynasty, and because Pang Ban only moved from the capital, he strongly demonstrated his inference, and no one could refute it. Pang Ban laughed dumbly and said: "Because the eunuchs were a disaster, Zhu Yuanzhang has been deliberately suppressing his eunuchs and preventing them from participating in politics. It is a pity that King Yan has been colluding with eunuchs in order to obtain news from the palace. If King Yan wins the world in the future, Eunuchs are sure to rise and take power, and now that Zhu Yuanzhang is imperative to replace the prime minister with six ministries, he is also planning to divide the military power in the world into five, so that all military and political power will be concentrated in the hands of the emperor. Since then, there is no one in the court who can resist, so Pang dares to assert that the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty will be more disasters than the previous generation." The crowd was even more speechless. Pang Ban's insight was so high that he had indeed reached the state of insight. Nian Liandan asked modestly: "Then should we stand still and let Zhu Yuanzhang eradicate Lan Yu and Hu Weiyong, and then sit in Shi Mingshi and gradually collapse?" Pang Ban shook his head and said: "Of course we can't be so passive. The ideal is to bring down both Zhu Yuanzhang and King Yan at the same time, and there is a sequence for dealing with them. Zhu Yuanzhang should be the primary target, otherwise if you kill King Yan for nothing, In vain, I helped Zhu Yuan a great favor. If both father and son die, we can immediately withdraw from the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty will fall into a separatist regime, and the rebels will attack each other. Otherwise, we will have to help Lan Yu and Hu Weiyong , dragging Zhu Yuanzhang, making him unable to deal with King Yan. That also means that our most basic goal has been accomplished.” If Zhu Yuanzhang heard Pang Ban's words in person, he would be amazed, because he knew that King Yan had assassinated him because of the delicate situation, but he also suppressed the urge to take action to deal with this traitor. After hearing these words, everyone felt very different.I deeply feel that regardless of the success or failure of this trip, I will receive the desired effect. Fang Yeyu was even more grateful. Over the years, Pang Ban had seldom analyzed the world situation in such a lengthy speech. Now that he wasted so much time, he saw that his morale was low, so he spoke to arouse everyone's ambition and strengthen their belief. These words were uttered by the magician Pang Ban whom everyone admired, so the weight is naturally very different. Pang Ban is their spiritual pillar. Pang Ban smiled slightly and said, "What has this kid Shuiyue Dazong done?" Fang Yeyu respectfully replied: "Last night he broke into the ghost king's mansion, but retreated after two moves with the ghost king, making people wonder what is the use of inviting him here?" Pang Ban's eyes lighted up, and he said happily: "Shuiyue Dazong's goal is not the ghost king, but Lang Fanyun. As long as Lang Fanyun is killed, Pang will become completely invincible. Finding someone to do the surgery, the Central Plains and the Western Regions were in chaos at that time, and it’s not just what the Japanese people wanted!" Li Chimei moved and said: "The magician is indeed unique in things, we have never thought about this problem." Then he snorted coldly: "Although the Shuiyue Dazong's Shuiyue sword technique is powerful, I am afraid it is still not as good as Langfan Cloud's rain-covering sword." Pang Ban laughed dumbly and said: "Anyway, if you want to be cheap, it's better to come to Pang Mou. Before I see Ying Yuan, let me try his Shuiyue knife technique and see how unpredictable it is. To what extent?" Then he asked Fang Yeyu: "Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang force your senior brother to hand over Shuiyue Dazong? Tell your senior brother to ask Zhu Yuan to give him another two days, and then he will be able to offer Shuiyue Dazong's head, haha !" Seeing Pang Ban's smiling face, everyone stayed on the spot. Who can guess Pang Ban's unexpected behavior? Lang Fanyun sat leisurely and contentedly in the wine shop, crossed his legs, drank the clear stream and flowing spring with unlimited enjoyment, his eyes hung on the three daughters of Zuo Shi who were wiping the wine utensils, and shared their thoughts on work Commitment and enthusiasm. At this moment, Fan Bao came out of the inner hall with a pretty woman, smiling and affectionate. Lang Fanyun showed a satisfied smile, and softly called out: "Yanru! Come to Big Brother." Of course, this beautiful woman was raped by Xue Mingyu, and Yan Yanru, who had been stared at and rejected by her husband's family, was invited by Lang Fanyun to come to the wine shop as a helper after drinking with Lang Fanyun that night. At this moment, she seemed to be a different person, refreshed, and she happily came to the stage and sat down after hearing the sound. Lang Fanyun looked at her lovingly, and said softly: "Fan Bao is not bad, isn't he?" Yan Yanru's pretty face flushed immediately, she lowered her head, not daring to look at him, she couldn't help but nodded again. Over there, Fan Bao over there these days has been guided by Fan Liangji and Lang Fanyun, and his skills have improved greatly. He faintly heard his name, and then saw Yan Yanru's expression of embarrassment, and blushed, very embarrassed. Zuo Shi and the others looked at Yan Yanru and Fan Bao strangely, they all pursed their lips and chuckled as they didn't understand what happened. Lang Fanyun stood up, picked up a clear stream and spring, and said with a smile: "It's almost time, Shi'er! Do you want to meet Xiao Wenwen with your elder brother?" Fan Bao said: "Langshou seat! Let me handle this matter!" Lang Fanyun shook his head and said, "How can Lang be negligent of such an important person." Zuo Shi's eyes turned red immediately, and when he walked to Lang Fanyun, the little bird held his arm tightly like a human being, so moved that he couldn't speak. Lang Fanyun said to Fan Bao: "Tell the ranks to be careful. This man is no less powerful than Fang Yu. He has been so low-key these days, which makes me feel more and more that he must have conspiracy." Then he bowed his head to Zuo Shi Said: "Can I go?" Zuo Shi nodded vigorously, and finally shed tears of gratitude. If it weren't for the waves, she would still be living in the gloomy days mourning the death of her father and husband today.
