Chapter 743 The Transformed Heroine

How could Yue Hongling be easily fooled by such words? She smiled casually: "I am just a wanderer in the world, and I am not involved in the struggle for power. Apart from the alien race, what does it matter to me whether the surname of Shenzhou is Xia or Li? If I stay here, it is just to drink a glass of wedding wine."

Yue Fenghua sighed and said: "Hongling, if the war breaks out and the people are in chaos, how can you just ignore it?"

"If there is a matter of letting the soldiers kill the people, I will take action." Yue Hongling paused here, and said with a smile: "Including the Li family leaving Guandong, it is the same."

Yue Fenghua choked for a moment, and looked at Wei Changming, not knowing what to say.

Unless Yue Fenghua forced her to stand on the side as a master, how could she say it?

Beforehand, she could imagine how to give orders as a master, and deliberately tested whether the disciple had lost respect for the master over the years. Facts have proved that Yue Hongling still respects her teacher and her attitude is impeccable, but when she stood up, her aura naturally overwhelmed everyone and she instantly became the protagonist. Both Wei Changming and Yue Fenghua seemed to be half a head shorter subconsciously, and the rhythm was completely in her own hands.

This is a famous hero who has been in the world for so many years, and she is no longer the girl she used to be. Her aura is even stronger than that of the head of aristocratic family. Perhaps in her eyes, Wei Changming is just a traitor.

Just as Yue Fenghua tried to say something else, Yue Hongling suddenly added: "In fact, I came back to my hometown this time for some important matters."

Yue Fenghua had to swallow what he wanted to say and asked kindly: "Oh? I wonder what the important matter is. Do you need your help?"

"Of course I need it." Yue Hongling smiled embarrassedly: "I heard that the Hu people once broke through the pass and plundered. Now there are still Hu people wreaking havoc in many places in Guanlong. I want to eliminate the evil for my hometown and restore peace to my hometown. But I am alone, and it is difficult to find the whereabouts of the Hu people. I think that now that the master is prosperous, he should be able to help find some news."

Wei Changming opened his mouth and closed it again. Yue Fenghua was stunned for a long time, then laughed dryly: "This is what we should do as heroes! But the Hu people are powerful, and you may not be able to do it alone. Let's take a long-term view on this matter. Let me ask someone to get some good news, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy."

Yue Hongling smiled slightly: "Master, you have considered it carefully."

Wei Changming laughed dryly: "Then Miss Yue, please take a rest, I will go back first... By the way, Miss Yue's return home is also a major event in Guanlong recently. If several of our families hold a banquet to entertain Miss Yue, will Miss Yue honor us?"

Yue Hongling shook her head slightly: "Sorry, Hongling doesn't like socializing, but I appreciate your kindness."

Yue Fenghua said: I'll see Brother Wei off." Then he told the disciples around him, "Take your Second Senior Sister to the guest house to rest."

How could the disciples understand the strange atmosphere in these conversations? They were all excited: "Yes, we will treat Senior Sister well!"

"No need for so many people." Yue Hongling pointed at a little girl casually and said with a smile, "Just let this Junior Sister accompany me."

The little girl jumped three feet high with joy, and pulled Yue Hongling to the backyard: "Senior Sister, follow me."

Yue Hongling saw that the little girl was full of energy, and her somewhat depressed mood was slightly better. She followed with a smile. When she was near the door, she turned around and saw that the backs of Yue Fenghua and Wei Changming had disappeared outside the main hall.

Yue Hongling sighed softly and lowered her voice: "I want to go see my master's wife first."

"Oh." The little girl scratched her head: "Then let's go this way..."

In front of the tomb in the back mountain, Yue Hongling paid respects solemnly, slowly stood up and looked at the tombstone, and asked in a low voice: "Has my master's wife been sick for a long time? Why didn't anyone go to the martial arts world to talk to me about this."

The little girl replied: "No, she got sick very suddenly and passed away quickly..."

"What disease?"

"It is said that she had a bad sore."

There are many types of bad sores, some of which are called cancer in the modern world. If it is this kind of disease, it does not seem strange. Yue Hongling shook her head slightly. The scenes of her master's performance just now flashed through her mind. The intuition of a powerful person in the realm of control still made her feel that something was not right.

"Who is the target of the Wei family's marriage?"

The little girl looked around and lowered her voice: "It's Miss Li."

Yue Hongling smiled slightly and knew. It seemed that it was difficult to say it in front of her, so Wei Changming was vague, but he couldn't hide it. Once this kind of thing was mentioned, everyone would know it, and it would be the same if she asked anyone.

It seems that her return may not be a surprise to some people, but a shock.

At least this matter of marriage with the Li family was seen by her, and it seemed strange. It sounded like nothing, why can't the senior brother marry the daughter of the Li family... But if you think about it carefully, why does the Li family want to marry a daughter to you? Do you really think that Luoxia Mountain Villa is very face-saving? It was originally a naked exploitation, just for her, Yue Hongling. It is not certain whether the married daughter is a direct descendant of the Li family. It is likely to be a side branch, and it is possible that she is a maid.

This is different from the marriage with the King of Cui, because no matter how the King of Cui marries, it cannot affect what Cui Wenjing and Wang Daoning want to do; but if you marry with the Li family, you have some say in things, but you are still a complete vassal, and you have to do whatever you are told to do...

When the rice is cooked, in the subsequent dispute between Guanlong and Xinhan, will it be difficult for Yue Hongling to take sides... If things go wrong, the master can really put pressure on her, Yue Hongling, to stand on the side of Guanlong.

This is completely aimed at Yue Hongling. If Yue Fenghua has some sense of responsibility to not embarrass his apprentice, or if he has some respect for his apprentice's ideas, this marriage will not be discussed. If he wants to discuss it, he will at least find someone to try to contact Yue Hongling and ask her opinion first. Not long ago, the book of chaos just flashed that he killed the Black Miao King in Miaojiang. His whereabouts are confirmed, and it is not difficult to send someone to find him.

But let alone trying to send someone to find him, I am standing here and can't say much. It seems that he also knows that this matter is essentially a plot against her, Yue Hongling, but he is embarrassed to say it...

Take her reputation that Yue Hongling has made, take the closeness of others because of Yue Hongling, and take it as what he deserves? Do you think that you can make a fortune by marrying the Lord of Guanlong?

Yue Hongling turned her head and looked at the prosperous manor, and sighed in her heart. If it was just this, it would not be a big deal. Anyway, she would not do anything because of the pressure of the master, and it didn't matter how they climbed up the ladder. The fear is that once you are deeply trapped, there will be other things.

For example, the Hu people I mentioned.

Why do you need to go outside to visit and know yourself and the enemy? Aren’t there Hu people’s troops stationed in Chang’an City! Are you pretending not to know?

Is this the chivalry you taught me since I was a child?

If I insist on killing the Hu people here, it will give the Guanlong gentry a headache. They will no longer consider whether they can win over themselves, and most of them will try to make me go away as soon as possible. And if I start killing the Hu people now, what will be the result?

There is a high probability that each family will set an ambush and let her, Yue Hongling, die at the hands of the Hu people.

Just as he was thinking this, footsteps sounded behind him. Yue Fenghua stood behind him and sighed: "Hongling."

Yue Hongling turned around and bowed: "Master."

Yue Fenghua whispered: "If you want to kill the Hu people, you will be in danger... and you said it in front of Wei Changming..."

Yue Hongling's heart moved: "Master means..."

"No matter why they led the Hu people into the pass earlier, maybe they felt that they were not strong enough and needed to borrow the power of the Hu people, or maybe they wanted to borrow a knife to eliminate the forces that were still loyal to Daxia in the country, or maybe they just wanted to deal with people who were not of the same mind... In short, now that the world is not settled, they still need to borrow strength. It is impossible for them to turn against the Hu people now. If you want to kill the Hu here, it will make it very difficult for them." Yue Fenghua whispered: "In fact, if they get the world, then you kill the Hu again, and everyone will support you."

Yue Hongling's eyes hid a bit of disappointment: "I know."

Some people are equalizing the land and opening education, wholeheartedly serving the people. Some people only think about how to get this world.

She took a deep breath: "Again, politics has nothing to do with me."

"But have you ever thought about it..." Yue Fenghua held back for a moment, and finally said: "If you insist on doing it, you may be able to leave freely afterwards, but what about the master? How can you survive here in the future..."

Yue Hongling said: "Not to mention the killings of the Hu people in the past, just say that they have ravaged Guanzhong this time, and countless souls of compatriots have been killed by their swords, but Master is thinking about this? There are also righteous armies resisting in the mountains in Guanlong today! Master is now at the ninth level of Xuanguan, and he is afraid of this?"

Of course, what he is afraid of is not survival, but the loss of glory.

Yue Fenghua was silent for a moment, and whispered: "Will you contact these bandits... these righteous armies?"

"What if you do?"

"In order to stab the Li family from behind when fighting with the new Han?"

Yue Hongling looked into the master's eyes, and the disappointment in his eyes was almost extreme.

Changhe didn't think about these things, and neither did he. If they really contacted the righteous army, everyone would only think about resisting the Hu people. But for now, there are too many shadows of Guanlong gods and demons. Neither he nor Changhe would drag these ordinary warriors into the quagmire, and would not even consider it.

But in their minds, that's it...

Yue Fenghua finally said: "Hongling, Master has never asked you for anything else... I just hope that if you see the Hu people in Chang'an this time, you must be patient and don't act rashly."

Yue Hongling looked at him for a while, until he saw Yue Fenghua look away, and then he suddenly smiled: "If I disguise and assassinate, it won't cause trouble to the master?"

Yue Fenghua hesitated for a moment: "That's possible."

Yue Hongling said: "Then can I ask the master to investigate and give a better entry point? For example, which Hu leader is stationed here, and where he will be on a daily basis."

Yue Fenghua said helplessly: "Okay, you wait for the news from the master."

After that, he hurried away.

The little girl next to him looked at the conversation between the master and the apprentice with admiration. In the eyes of the little girl, both the master and the apprentice are heroes.

Yue Hongling looked at her master's back and thought to herself that this was the last test. If the "entry point" given by her master was surrounded by people when she entered, it would be really funny. It would not have come to this. Most of them would have been dragged on.

She thought about it and patted her head again. She felt that it was meaningless for her to come back and get stuck in such private matters. She originally came to find out about the situation in Chang'an for Zhao Changhe. The so-called leader of the Hu people and where they could be assassinated were things that could be known by just squatting outside to investigate. What was the meaning of returning to the sect? Since I'm back, I have to understand some things that I can't understand outside to be useful.

Speaking of which, I met the head of the Wei family the first time I came here. This is a very good entry point. Why not use it... What's the use of worrying about what kind of person the master is now?

Thinking of this, Yue Hongling suddenly felt much more relaxed. She flashed and disappeared.

Wei Changming was sitting in the carriage on the way from Huashan back to Chang'an. He was wandering all the way and his mind was wandering. Yue Hongling came back, looking like he wanted to cause trouble and kill Hu here. This time it was lively... As long as Yue Hongling persisted, the final result would be that everyone would try to make Yue Hongling die here. It was impossible for her to destroy the alliance between Guanlong and Beihu.

This is a bit of a pity...

I have invested in Luoxia Villa for several years. At that time, the situation was not like now. There were no general troubles, it was just a pure emotional investment.

According to Yue Hongling's ability to single-handedly kill the Black Miao King's corpse puppet, she is definitely a top performer on the Heavenly Ranking, not an Earthly Ranking. What is the concept of a heavenly ranking within a force? It is a concept that is qualified to compete for hegemony. Just look at Li Shentong and you will know.

Normally speaking, based on the current relationship between him and Yue Hongling's sect, if there is something difficult to solve outside, or if the family offends someone who cannot afford to offend, if he entrusts Yue Hongling with a favor, Yue Hongling will definitely help without saying a word. Being able to get a top-ranking foreign aid, this investment is really a success.

The result was good. From the beginning, there was a struggle for hegemony in the world and hatred between Hu and Han. This investment was not enough. Not to mention investment, even their master-disciple relationship is not enough in front of the great righteousness... I am afraid that the investment over the years has been wasted, which is a pity.

But looking at it from another angle...

Before he could finish his thoughts, warning signs arose in his heart. Wei Changming quickly drew his sword, but was shocked to find that the sword did not obey orders and could not be pulled out.

The next moment, the fragrant wind blew by, and the other party's sword was already on her neck, and she didn't even see when she entered the carriage.

Wei Changming was extremely shocked. His so-called strength in the rankings was like a child in front of the other party: "Yue, Miss Yue...Wei didn't, didn't offend you..."

Yue Hongling said calmly: "Isn't it an offense to pull the marriage between my master's sect and the Li family and put me in a dilemma?"

"Hey!" Wei Changming paused: "You think that's what I think! Li Boping mentioned it like this, and I can't refuse. According to Wei's own idea, it is also a marriage with my own family! To be honest, I have already thought about it. , but I am worried that once I marry your master, I will put it aside for fear of causing suspicion!"

Yue Hongling blinked her eyes and seemed to be smiling: "Mr. Li is dead, and Li Boping seems to be in the middle of the list. I have forgotten the exact number. He should be inferior to you. I am very curious as to why you are still willing to use the name of the Li family. Are you not interested in this thousand-mile career in Guanzhong?"

"Uh..." Wei Changming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said carefully: "Girl, can you put down your sword first and talk?"

Yue Hongling put away her sword and sat across from him.

Wei Changming took out the drinking utensils prepared in the carriage, poured a glass of wine for Yue Hongling, and said slowly: "The battle for power is of course not just about the masters... especially when everyone has no masters at hand, it is even more simple. Comparison of money, food, soldiers, and horses. When Li Gongsi was still alive, he relied on his prestige and skills to run a very good business. After joining forces with the barbarians to kill several dissidents, he became the dominant one... This is normal. Anyway, let's compare. No, not even close.”

Yue Hongling said: "In this case, regardless of the masters or forces, the Li family has been completely crushed by the Hu people. Will he become a son-emperor who only listens to the Hu people?"

"It was possible." Wei Changming smiled meaningfully: "But under the pressure of Xinhan, it is difficult for Timur to win, and it can only be a cooperative gesture. Li Boping is not a fool. He has won over Buddhists before. To increase the momentum, and later introduce Yuxu, with this strength, he has the confidence to speak for himself, and it is difficult for him to become an emperor. "

Yue Hongling said: "If what I have seen and heard is correct, is there a strong conflict between Buddhism and Taoism?"

"Yes, this is a balanced power technique that allows both Buddhism and Taoism to be used. The more they fight against each other, the more they rely on those in power. As a result, the Langya incident was reported, and many people questioned whether Yuan Cheng would It will be the second return to the dust, leading to forcing Yuancheng away. We never thought about this beforehand... Seeing that Yuxu wants to dominate the family, Dayan Temple has moved a new Buddha from nowhere, and now it seems that there is another Rebalance.”

Yue Hongling thought for a while: "The Li family is walking a tightrope."

"There is no way. The Four Symbols Sect in Xinhan is an established state religion. Of course, others can only fight for it among other forces. Whether the Li family walks on the tightrope or not, this situation will happen sooner or later." Wei Changming took a long sip of wine and pointed out: "Of course, the hidden dangers are huge. After all, there is really no strong person in the Li family. Once they can't grasp the balance and which family becomes dominant, they may be sidelined. And it is also possible that they have annoyed someone and won't play with him. But for now, no matter how different the various forces in Chang'an are, they are unanimous in facing Xinhan, and their overall strength is really not weaker than Xinhan or even stronger. "

Yue Hongling said: "There is no need to always mention Xinhan to me, I am not a Xinhan official."

Wei Changming smiled warmly: "Yes, a girl can become a powerful force by herself."

This is the tacit understanding that the two sides have had for so long. Yue Hongling asked, "Your Excellency, you are not interested in this thousand-mile Guanzhong and Wangba career?" Of course, it is impossible that no one is not interested, but the situation is so complicated that no one dares to make mistakes easily. What is certain is that once the Li family loses control, there may be a pack of wolves around to bite them, and one of the wolves is Wei Changming.

But Wei Changming obviously didn't want to hook up with Xinhan.

The attitude of suppressing aristocratic families and promoting common people is too obvious. This is a huge attraction in the eyes of the people at the bottom, but it is not necessarily beneficial to the current situation of hegemony. The aristocratic families are in conflict and many things cannot be done. Assuming that Xinhan is a prominent family, he can now directly try to instigate Wei Changming. Unfortunately, Wei Changming is unlikely to be willing to learn Cui Wenjing's self-disciplined martial arts, so he keeps testing the relationship between Yue Hongling and Xinhan.

If it were Yue Hongling two years ago, she really wouldn't be able to understand these subtexts. But now, following Zhao Changhe these days, her horizons are no longer limited to the world, and her thinking on these matters has broadened a lot.

She also leaned on the backrest of the carriage and sipped her wine leisurely, and after a long while she suddenly said: "I have a good relationship with Changhe, but we are not involved in the power struggle. Even if we help Changhe, Xia Chichi and I are not on the same side. You can understand Does this mean?"

Wei Changming blinked and said with a smile, "I understand."

As for the dispute between the East and West Palaces... the West Palace Empress also needs to have her own power.

Yue Hongling said: "In fact, all I care about is the Hu people. Whoever colludes with the Hu people, I will oppose. I do not contact you on behalf of Xinhan, I only represent myself - your investment in Luoxia Villa is nothing more than for me, Yue Hongling , I can put my words here, as long as you can provide help in the fight against Hu, then no matter how the situation changes in the future, I can personally become a friend of the Wei family. "

After saying this, he disappeared directly.

Wei Changming looked out the window at the light snow, his expression uncertain.

If we talk about investment, with Yue Hongling, it is comparable to the previous investment in Luoxia Villa for several years. What we need is Yue Hongling, otherwise what is Yue Fenghua?

Whether it is Yue Hongling's level in the Tianbang, or the power of Zhao Changhe behind her... Even if the new Han Dynasty is not friendly to the aristocratic family, it is still a fallback path. If it is not done well, this thousands of miles of Guanzhong may not be surnamed Wei.

This investment is priceless.

But there are prerequisites for investment... Hu people... Hu people. It just so happened that I really had nothing to do with the Hu people, but the Li family did.
