Sima Lan knew that he was completely unable to control his own destiny. In fact, the tent he was in was not far from the emperor’s tent, and he could hear the quarrels of the ministers outside.
Although because of his advanced age, he couldn’t hear what was arguing clearly, but he could guess in his heart.
There is tea in the tent, but now, Sima Lan is drinking tea and waiting calmly.
When Qi Ning entered the tent, Sima Lan was a little surprised.
Qi Ning stepped forward and gave Sima Lan a salute. Sima Lan smiled and said, “Marquis of Jinyi… Well, this old man almost forgot, now it’s time to call you Duke Huguo.”
Qi Ning sat down opposite Sima Lan and said with a smile, “Whether it’s the Marquis of Jinyi or Duke Huguo, it’s the Emperor Longen.” He coughed heavily, and an eunuch entered the tent from outside with a tray in his hand. There are still wine and vegetables on the tray.
The eunuch put the wine and vegetables on the table, bowed, and quickly retreated.
Sima Lan seemed to understand something, raised his hand to stroke his beard, and said with a smile, “Is this the emperor’s reward?”
“The emperor still has feelings for the prince, so he ordered me to come and see him off. I hope the prince will not blame him.”
Sima Lan waved his hands and smiled: “No wonder, you are also a duke. The emperor asked you to come, and it is already a big face for the old man.”
Qi Ning picked up the wine cup and poured wine for Sima Lan.
Sima Lan sighed: “I still remember that when your grandfather, the old marquis in Jinyi, made military exploits, the old man went to the house to celebrate with good wine, and your father Qi Jing won the battle, and the old man sent him ten jars of fine wine. , I never thought that one day you would come to bring wine to the old man.”
Qi Ning pondered for a moment, then said, “If the Duke is less thoughtful, maybe one day the Duke will bring wine to the younger generation.”
Sima Lan smiled and said, “Emperor Protector, there is something in my heart that this old man has always wondered about. I still don’t know the answer to this day, but I don’t know if you can answer it for this old man.”
Qi Ning nodded and said, “Old Duke is being polite. If I knew about it, I would naturally say it all.”
Sima Lan asked with a smile, “I wonder if the second grandfather of your residence is still alive?”
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, but he didn’t know how to respond, but he immediately thought that the second old man Sima Lan was talking about was Beigong Liancheng, and he hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Beigong Liancheng has not been seen for many years, and the news is hard to find. Even the people from Jinyi Houfu have no idea whether Beigong Liancheng is alive or dead. If he hadn’t seen it once in Dongqi Ghost Bamboo Forest, this problem is even more serious. It is difficult to answer, but since Bei Gong Liancheng disappeared, he must have deliberately not let the world know his life and death.
Seeing Qi Ning’s hesitation, Sima Lan seemed to understand something, and nodded, “If he is still alive, then this old man will be relieved.”
Qi Ning thought about it for a while, and then asked: “Junior asks for advice, the Guogong said that you can rest assured that the second old man is alive. What does this mean?”
Sima Lan smiled and said, “Could it be that you don’t know about the appointment of Longshan?”
“Longshan’s Covenant?” Qi Ning immediately remembered that Xiang Baiying, the leader of the Beggar’s Gang, had mentioned this matter, but Xiang Baiying didn’t say it in great detail. Said: “Also ask the Duke for advice!”
“You naturally know that the sword god in your palace has extraordinary martial arts and has entered the transformation realm.” Sima Lan calmly said: “There are five great masters like sword gods in this world.” He smiled lightly and said. : “According to the idea of this old man, these five so-called great masters should not exist in the world.”
Qi Ning asked, “This junior would like to know, what happened to the Longshan Covenant?”
“Prince Protector knows that before this, there were no five great masters in the world. Whenever such a person appears, it will shock the world.” Sima Lan said slowly, “But twenty years ago , Almost at the same time, the five great masters suddenly appeared. Who was the first to mention the five great masters, the old man really does not know, and the existence of the five great masters is not well known in the world.
”
Qi Ning asked in confusion, “Is the old prince saying that the five great masters appeared at the same time?”
“That’s right.” Sima Lan said: “And the strange thing is that the distribution of these five great masters is very strange. There is one in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, one in the Eastern Qi Dynasty and one in the Northern Han Dynasty, and I have two old masters from your Jinyi Qi family in my great Chu. On the Xichuan side, there is also one, but the Xichuan who lives in the western frontier is not embarrassed by my Great Chu, and my Great Chu has never been embarrassed by him before.”
When Qi Ning heard him say this, he also felt that this was extremely strange.
“The so-called Longshan Covenant, as far as I know, is a gentleman’s covenant made by several great masters.” Sima Lan said: “The five great masters check and balance each other, and if they fight, the world will be in chaos, so they agreed that all Don’t ask about the disputes in the world, and unless there are other great masters, no one can participate in the affairs of the world.”
“Where is Longshan?” Qi Ning was very interested in this: “When did they make the appointment of Longshan?”
“Where is Longshan, I’m afraid no one will ever know.” Sima Lan said calmly: “When there were rumors back then, this old man was still skeptical. Not fake.”
Qi Ning was a little surprised, thinking to himself that Sima Lan had only heard of the Longshan Covenant, and he didn’t know whether it was true or not.
Sima Lan picked up the wine glass, looked at the wine in the glass, did not drink it immediately, and asked, “Do you know why the old man mentioned the five great masters?”
“Junior ask for advice!”
“The old man knows that Bei Gong Liancheng is not much younger than the old man, and the other great masters are also old.” Sima Lan said: “If one day, any of my great masters in the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains suddenly passes away, you Do you know what the consequences are?”
Qi Ning’s expression became solemn.
Each of the three countries has a great master, and it is only because of mutual checks and balances that it is like a seclusion. If a great master of a country passes away, then the shock and deterrence to other countries will immediately disappear, and no one can guarantee that the other two great masters will not do it.
He has seen the strength of the great masters, and they are indeed monster-like existences. With their strength, to enter the palace of another country and take the emperor’s head is simply a matter of searching. As long as the emperor is killed, the country will be in turmoil, and the consequences are unimaginable.
It’s just that the question that has always existed in my heart at this moment comes up again.
As Sima Lan said, Beigong Liancheng and others are already quite old, but the appearance of the two great masters I saw last time in the Ghost Bamboo Forest was obviously very different from their age. He was only about forty years old when he woke up, and his hair was not even white. If one of the great masters was like this, it might be because of his martial arts training, but both of them were like this, so it would be very strange.
“If the one from your Qi family is still alive, at least you can guarantee that Da Chu will be safe for the time being.” Sima Lan suddenly lowered his voice and said, “There is only one thing, the old man has been wondering.”
“What did the old man say?”
“You naturally remember the spread of the virus in the capital at the beginning.” Sima Lan thought thoughtfully: “Since then, the Shenhou Mansion was quickly involved, pointing the finger at the Black Lotus Sect, and also gathered the eight gangs and sixteen factions to attack The Black Lotus Sect, what is the mystery behind this, the old man has not yet found out.”
Qi Ning did not expect that Sima Lan would suddenly mention this matter before he died.
“Since the old man is the chief minister, it is natural to investigate what should be investigated.” Sima Lan smiled lightly: “The leader of the Black Lotus Sect is a great master, and the Shenhou Mansion attacked the Black Lotus Sect, almost aimed at that great master. When the grandmaster leaves, Ximen Wuhen is a very shrewd person, he should know that once he really pushes the Black Lotus Sect into a corner and causes the great master to take action, the consequence will be the confrontation between the Black Lotus leader and the Sword God.”
Qi Ning frowned, realizing the problem at this time.
“The affairs of the rivers and lakes have always been managed by the Shenhou Mansion. Even the old man is not too involved in it.” Sima Lan’s eyes were deep: “The old man has been thinking, what is the purpose of Ximen Wuhen’s attack on the Black Lotus Sect? Some people say that Ximen Wuhen is old, and the strength of the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects is increasing day by day, especially the Beggar Gang. This opportunity will weaken the strength of the Eight Gangs and Sixteen factions.”
Qi Ning asked, “Does the Duke think this is a false statement?”
“It would of course be foolish to weaken the strength of the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects at the cost of causing a confrontation between the Hei Lian Sect Leader and Bei Gong Liancheng.” Sima Lan said lightly, “No matter how strong the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects are, the more powerful they are. How can you match the horror of a great master? And Ximen Wuhen has never been a fool. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com ”
“What is the purpose of the Duke of the State in your opinion?”
“The old man thinks about it, there are only two possibilities.” Sima Lan said: “Either Ximen Wuhen deliberately wants to cause a fight between the two great masters, if so, Ximen Wuhen must have evil intentions. Another possibility is that It’s the Black Lotus Sect Master who is no longer alive!”
“Hei Lian sect master is not alive?”
“Ximen Wuhen has been staring at the Jianghu forces in my Great Chu territory.” Sima Lan said: “The Black Lotus Sect is naturally also what he is extremely concerned about. If the Black Lotus Sect Master is really dead, Ximen Wuhen is likely to get the news, so will start.”
Qi Ning nodded slightly.
“If the Black Lotus sect leader will die, then of course other great masters will also die.” Sima Lan said: “The death of any great master will change the general situation of the world, so…you protect the country. Since the Duke wants to guard the Great Chu, he naturally has to pay attention to the movements of the great masters.” Speaking of which, Sima Lan drank the wine in one go, then put down the wine glass, picked up the wine jug, and poured it for himself. Appears very calm.
Qi Ning sighed in his heart, thinking that it was impossible for Sima Lan to not know that this was the poisoned wine bestowed by the royal family, but at this time, he was still able to be so calm.
Sima Lan poured the wine before stroking his beard and said, “If the Black Lotus sect leader is not dead, then what is Ximen Wuhen’s mind? Whether he intends to embarrass you Jinyi Qijia, then you have to find the answer yourself.”
