Chapter 171
Chapter 171
The clothes that were wrinkled because they were lying on the ground were easily restored to normal by Dongfang Chejian's hands. Obviously the clothes were not simple, but Ling Xuan didn't pay much attention to them. These things.
"May I ask who you are?" Dongfang Che Jian asked carefully hiding his shoeless feet under the hem of his clothes.
Only then did Ling Xuan raise his head and break away from the formation to look at Dongfang Chejian. Dongfang Cheng said from the side, "This is Prince Yu, a disciple of Professor Kong."
Ling Xuan withdrew his scrutiny and added, "It's one of them." It was in line with the spirit of Dongfang Mansion, and this was Ling Xuan's first impression of Dongfang Che.
"Jade Prince?" Dongfang Che saw Yika, "This is Jade Prince, doesn't it look like it?"
Ling Xuan cast a glance at Dongfang Chejian, "Tell me, what should this king be like?"
Dongfang Chejian quickly waved his hands, "No, no, that's not what I mean. I heard that Lord Yu is very favored, so I thought he would be a domineering person. After all, he doesn't even listen to the emperor's words."
Speaking of Dongfang Chejian, he rubbed his head in embarrassment, "But it seems that I believed the rumors by mistake."
Ling Xuan asked with great interest, "Why do you say that? Did you conclude after meeting me?"
Dongfang Chejian said embarrassedly, "You must be a good person because you look so good-looking."
Ah?Ling Xuan was taken aback, "That's really an answer that surprised me." This king actually still has a day to rely on his face, Ling Xuan pointed to the ground.
"Did you write all of this?"
"Yes." Dongfang Chejian nodded, "I've already sorted it out, and it's all checked on the floor, so don't worry about it." Then he went to the desk beside him and brought a book to Ling Xuan expectantly.
Ling Xuan didn't want to look at the ones that were trampled on the ground, so he took Dongfang Chejian's notebook and flipped through it, "This is the valley of the Helian Mountains. Do you want to restore it?"
"Yes, although the formation has been destroyed a lot, I think it can be repaired!" Dongfang Chejian said seriously, "Although it is a bit difficult, even if it is repaired, it is meaningless, but I will do it if I give up such a good place." not."
"I think it's pretty good." Ling Xuan turned all the way to the end, and the repair plan has come out, as well as the preliminary design of the formation, "That's a good place."
"Has your lord been there?" Dongfang Chejian went over happily and asked, "The emperor gave me this. The original formation is also very good, and the formation master who drew it is also very good."
"Drawing, did Brother Huang give you the picture?" Ling Xuan casually folded a corner on the page and flipped through it. Dongfang City gasped when he saw it, and peeked at Dongfang Che, but the other party didn't react at all. No.
Dongfang City suddenly despaired of this face-seeking world. Ling Xuan closed the book and returned it to Dongfang Che, but he was no longer easy-going. You can come to this king's palace to ask."
After finishing speaking, Ling Xuan turned around to look outside the door and said without giving Dongfang Che a chance, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first, remember to apologize to Professor Kong."
"Although some disciples are a bit useless, it's not up to outsiders to teach them a lesson." Ling Xuan threw up his sleeves and left after speaking the last sentence.
Dongfang City hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty will send the prince out."
Dongfang Chejian lowered his head to look at the book in his hand with a masked face. The folded pages made the book inexplicably thicker and a bit rambunctious, but Dongfang Chejian had no time to worry about it. Lord Yu said that he was the cartographer, the one who drew the formation.
When Dongfang City came back, he saw Dongfang Chejian flipping through his own notebook. Because of this incident, Dongfang Chejian attached great importance to this notebook and did not allow others to touch it at all. No one was allowed to enter the room, but now he was a little nervous. Flipping through the book in his hand, he raised his head when he heard footsteps, "Dongfang City."
Before he had time to call his name directly, Dongfang Cheng stepped forward and looked at Dongfang Chejian, "Master, what's the matter?"
Dongfang Che Jian turned to a page of the book and asked, "What do you think of this formation?"
"It's very fine." Dongfang City said affirmatively after seeing it, "It's worthy of the young master to be able to achieve this level of fineness."
"So, how is it compared to this one?" Dongfang Che Jian carefully took out a piece of paper from his pocket and opened it.
There are only two palms of paper to roughly draw the overall formation, because the size of the paper only draws the main part, and it can be seen that the painter is not distracted, it is just a draft, but Dongfang City is a little fascinated , "This drawing can be understood even by children who are just getting started. Although it is concise, it perfectly selects only the most critical parts. It cannot be produced without the modification of thousands of drawings."
Seeing the recovered paper, Dongfang Che said calmly, "At that time, there were only 24 sheets of paper purchased, and there were [-] drawings in total."
And all he got was this draft. Dongfang Chejian remembered that when he went to see the emperor, the other party spread all the drawings on the table and showed Dongfang Chejian that he wanted him to reproduce this place again. I left him a draft and dismissed it, "Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier."
Who else could make this stingy emperor treat him like this, "Damn you, stingy emperor."
Why did he suddenly start talking about the emperor, Dongfang City slipped, "Master, please keep your voice down."
"I see." Dongfang Che Jian put down his hands, "Just now Lord Yu said, if there is anything I don't understand, I can go to him, right?"
"Yes." Dongfang Cheng nodded, he really couldn't understand the young master more and more, Dongfang Cheng looked at Dongfang Chejian who suddenly came over happily and sighed.
Ling Xuan originally thought that there would be a competition or something, or that he was an arrogant genius, but who knew that this guy would be like this as soon as he met?
The spineless surrender is really disappointing, and in terms of level, it is indeed far behind him in terms of formation, but the water conservancy and soil quality involved in the restoration plan make Ling Xuan confused, although the words in the description I know them all, but I can't understand them all when put together, which makes Ling Xuan very helpless.
It can only be said that there is a specialization in the art industry, and if you can't force it, Ling Xuan can only think about it this way, "Go back, and I have an appointment with someone, and this time should be here."
Ouyang is familiar with the way to enter the capital. In order to be able to enter the capital, Ouyang not only has a merchant in the capital, but also bought a house with money. Although it is a bit small, it is enough to have a proof of entry and exit. You can still enter the capital, unless the city is closed.
Dehui Building, a gathering place for literati in the capital, Ouyang was bookish but no one stopped him. The capital is not a suitable place to spend the winter, and he came here only because someone offered enough chips to let him come.
"You arrived earlier than me." Ling Xuan walked into the Dehui Building and saw Ouyang couldn't help feeling, "I thought I could be faster than you on my site."
"About this." Ouyang calmly tapped the fan in his hand, "I am also surprised that you are still late on your territory."
Ling Xuan shrugged, and led Ouyang upstairs, "I have something to deal with halfway, let's go up first and then talk about it."
The private room on the second floor was very quiet. Ling Xuan looked at Ouyang and asked, "How much do you know about the news after the Treasure Hunting Conference?"
"Who are you referring to?" Ouyang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The whereabouts of Shao Ziqian and Yin Tianming." Ling Xuan said directly by name without politeness.
"The whereabouts of Yin Tianming is very clear, but Shao Ziqian is very complicated." Ouyang poured out a cup of tea but didn't drink it. The temperature here is not low, but it's a bit hot from the charcoal fire.
That is to say, Yin Tianming's actions are known, but Shao Ziqian's situation has not been spread yet. Ling Xuan responded while thinking, "How much do you know about Shao Ziqian's news?"
"He has lost his temper, and the entire lord's mansion is closed, but the interesting thing is that Shao Ziqian is not in the lord's mansion. This is the right time to merge the various sects. He has disobeyed the control of the people below when he left the masters. Now The martial arts world is in chaos."
Speaking of this, Ouyang also felt a little emotional, "The court is not stable now. I heard that the Jade Lord is back, and the emperor intends to go to war with Chu, so the first thing to clean up is Wulin, after all."
"Take care of the outside world first, you are right." Ling Xuan nodded slightly.
"I suspect that there was a conspiracy from the beginning of the Treasure Hunting Conference." Ouyang suddenly said seriously, "Now Yin Tianming has no intention of going against the imperial court. Not only that, the martial arts alliance without Shao Ziqian is a mess, and the imperial court can easily clean it up. I now suspect that he died before. The treasure hunt meeting with so many people is a conspiracy by the imperial court."
"What you said makes sense." Ling Xuan couldn't help nodding his head in response, "If you think so, the imperial court's action is really cruel without knowing it."
"To be honest, you are the most suspicious, after all, you are from the capital." Ouyang said, taking a sip of tea, "But you can call me here and you have such a good relationship with Yin Tianming, so it's unlikely, Think about it, the imperial court would not send such an unreliable guy to Wulin..." Ouyang's eyes suddenly blurred.
Ling Xuan never drank tea, even poured a cup in his hand, and didn't bother to perfunctory Ouyang watched Ling Xuan try to open his eyes, "That person is you?!"
"Yes." Ling Xuan casually took the water glass from Ouyang's hand, "It seems that Ouyang, who is so clever at calculations, sometimes makes mistakes. You still have one more chance. Guess what my real name is?"
Ouyang opened his eyes wide and looked at Ling Xuan, his vision was constantly blurred, but his mind was unexpectedly sober. Ling Xuan, who was elusive, couldn't find anyone every day, and it was very difficult for him to return to the capital once. Lord Yu, who was very difficult to return to the capital, was in front of him at this moment, "You are, Huangpu Xuan!"
"Congratulations, you got the answer right this time." Ling Xuan raised a smile, "But there is no reward, what a pity."
Ouyang couldn't answer him anymore, he closed his eyes and passed out, Ling Xuan waved his hand to greet him and carried him away, "Be gentle and don't hit your brain, other broken arms and legs are fine."
Inside the palace, when Chu Yuan entered the door, he saw the person who asked for directions last time. The clothes seemed to be the same as before but had been washed, so he held a book and read in a corner of the hall. After taking a look at it, he continued to flip through the book, not paying attention to Chu Yuan's gaze.
"Who is this person?" Chu Ziyan noticed this strange existence when he came in, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, "It's been a long time since I came here, it's really rare." He actually decided to meet here.
"The prince is not here." Chu Yuan said calmly, "It is said that he went out in the morning and has not returned yet."
"That's it." Chu Ziyan didn't care, after all, he was used to Ling Xuan's late arrival.
But this time it didn't take too long, Ling Xuan brought someone in, "Ah, you are already here, I didn't expect that you would come so early."
"You came back so late at home, what's your situation?" Chu Ziyan glanced behind Ling Xuan, "What is this?"
"It's a human." Ling Xuan said as a matter of course, "Isn't this obvious?"
"Then, what are you doing here with someone?" Chu Ziyan emphasized the word "herringbone" again, "and he's still a comatose guy."
"Don't worry, I didn't put a lot of weight, and I'll wake up soon." Ling Xuan waved his hand, "He's Ouyang, you know that, right?"
The two shook their heads in unison, which made Ling Xuan sigh, "He's just an information dealer, and you'll understand in a while."
When Ouyang woke up, he saw Ling Xuan sitting around and talking happily with others, "Ling Xuan, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry, it's not silence." Ling Xuan said with a smile when he saw Ouyang wake up, "It's just to discuss something with you." He called Shao Ziqian over.
"See, the leader of the martial arts." Ling Xuan pointed to Shao Ziqian and said, Ouyang gasped and looked at the two, Ling Xuan just smiled again.
"I just want to ask you to do one thing." Ling Xuan casually raised his glass and said, "You have also seen that the leader is now on my side, so I won't say much about the Demon Cult."
Ouyang sighed, "It seems that I have no choice to refuse, so tell me, what to do?"
"Didn't I say it before? Get rid of the outsiders and settle down first. Shao Ziqian will lend you a while to gather the rest of the people." Ling Xuan said with a smile, "Then it will be convenient for me to catch them all."
Ouyang took another breath, "Then I have become a traitor in the martial arts."
"Ouyang, you don't belong to the Wulin, why should you care so much? If you do it cleanly, then the Wulin will no longer exist, so why talk about betrayal?" Ling Xuan shrugged and said, "Of course, I am not asking you to go immediately Do it, this matter is relatively big after all, you can think about how to do it.”
Shao Ziqian did not speak from the beginning to the end, but stood quietly behind Ling Xuan. Ouyang looked at Shao Ziqian, thought about Yin Tianming, then looked at Ling Xuan, thought about the emperor, gritted his teeth and nodded, "I understand, I am from the Dynasty no matter what, He threw his head and blood for the country."
"Then there's no need." With a wave of Ling Xuan's hand, the dark guard quietly approached to untie Ouyang's restraint and disappeared immediately. When Ouyang found out, the rope on his body had already been untied, and he threw the rope off his body a few times , Ouyang stood up.
"Pleasant to work with."
"Pleasant to work with."
