, Astral Apostle ,星界使徒 Outside the Daoist temple, several height degree of stoutness have the characteristics guy to stand in the entrance respectively waits. 道观之外,几个高矮胖瘦各有特色的大汉站在门口等待。 On each face has the blade to cut the color of pitching chisel wind and frost, looked apparent goes on an expedition year to year outside, is Son of Heaven stronghold one group. 每个人脸上都有着刀砍斧凿般的风霜之色,一看便知常年在外征战,正是天王寨一行人。 The leader is castellan Longchuan, several other people are Shanzhaili can the standing in line number leader, was summoned to go to the capital to accept to seal/confer bestows. 为首者是寨主卢龙川,其余几人则是山寨里能排上号的头领,受召进京接受封赏。 „We usually do not have the contact with the governing wind honorable person, does not know that he is willing to see us.” “我们与御风真人素无往来,也不知他愿不愿意见我们。” The day low voice whisper, the tone hesitates. 项天杰小声嘀咕,语气犹疑。 Longchuan shakes the head: „Did not say, this person was the emperor favorite, by the favor, position I and others was not been extremely analogous, not necessarily to have the interest in seeing me and others.” 卢龙川摇了摇头:“不好说,这人是皇帝身边的红人,极受恩宠,地位非我等可比拟,未必有兴致见我等。” hears word, nearby appearance uncouthly full beard was discontented, said loudly: „Elder Brother saying was also too self-deprecatory, about is an ox muzzle, the Elder Brother , to see, my then to/clashes to catch him!” 闻言,旁边一个样貌粗鲁的大胡子不满了,大声道:“哥哥这话也太自轻自贱了,左右不过是个牛鼻子,哥哥要是想见,我这便冲进去把他逮出来！” „Two tigers can not be impolite!” “二虎不得无礼！” Longchuan scolded immediately , sinking sound said: „This governing wind honorable person is world-famous, it is reported that has the big magical powers, is the present age person of high skill, you chill out to me, cannot dash in him!” 卢龙川当即呵斥,顿了顿,沉声道:“这御风真人天下闻名,据传有大神通,乃是当世高人,你给我收了性子,不可冲撞于他！” „What person of high skill magical powers, I have not seen, is mostly false, is a head, a hammer pounded shrivelled, died in the same old way.” Two tigers whispered, full was not happy. “什么高人神通,我从没见过,多半是假的,都是一个脑袋,一锤子砸瘪了,照样是个死。”二虎嘀嘀咕咕,满不高兴。 This personal name is the stone tiger, the childhood name two tigers, excelling at causes the double hammer, is often responsible for breaking through enemy lines in Shanzhaili, is the temper uncouthly idiot. 此人名为石虎,小名二虎,擅使双锤,在山寨里常负责冲锋陷阵,是个性子粗鲁的浑人。 „Two tigers, when met you to open the mouth not, so as to avoid offended others.” A scholar opens the mouth, in the jogging hand the bamboo fan, said with a smile: „This governing wind honorable person is aloof in the in the capital position, even if were Qin must to him three points of thin surface, if we can establish the relations with him, he front fine talk several in the Saint, the advantage will be infinite in the future.” “二虎,等会你莫要开口了,免得得罪了人家。”一个文士开口,轻摇手中竹扇,笑道:“这御风真人在京中地位超然,哪怕是秦相也要给他三分薄面,我们若是能与他搭上关系,得他在圣上面前美言几句,日后好处无穷。” „Military strategist, since so said, I did not speak later then.” stone tiger mumbled, displaying was actually very respectable this scholar. “军师既然这般说,那我待会不说话便是了。”石虎哼哼唧唧,表现得倒是挺尊敬这文士。 This scholar named Sun Rong, is the three leaders in Son of Heaven stronghold, is the knockoff chief military strategist. 这文士名为孙荣,乃是天王寨的三头领,是山寨总军师。 This people come to visit the governing wind honorable person, is he facilitates vigorously. 此次众人前来拜会御风真人,便是他极力促成的。 Longchuan lowers the sound, asked: „Military strategist, the visit knows the governing wind honorable person, we and he are without family or friends, can ask him to leave the mountain?” 卢龙川压低声音,问道:“军师,拜会结识御风真人也就罢了,我们与他无亲无故,一定要请他出山？” Sun Rong complexion one positive, the nod said: „Good, this time our even bandit is active, although there is to seal/confer bestows, but the royal government will also request me and other next year beginning of the spring to go to Huyang to bandit suppression, the trip must ask the person of high skill to boost, otherwise uncertain future!” 孙荣脸色一正,点头道:“不错,此次我们平匪有功,虽有封赏,可朝廷也要求我等明年开春去湖阳剿匪,此行必须请高人助力,否则前途渺茫！” Saying, him, was continue say: 说着,他顿了顿,继续道: „ Swallow north and eastern Thailand bandit invader run amuck, luckily I and others once were north the greenwood dragon's head, can surrender surrendered, this/should extinguishing extinguished, remaining was the disbanded soldiers, the even these two places were shocking but not dangerous...... may that Huyang be different, was the world great dangerous destination! “燕北、泰东匪寇横行,幸好我等曾是北地绿林龙头,能降服的都降服了,该灭的都灭了,剩下的都是散兵游勇,平这两地算是有惊无险……可那湖阳不同,乃是天下一等一的险恶去处！ That Chen Feng has unparalleled valor/military skills, subordinate Dragon King stronghold also 100,000 troops . Moreover the Huyang network of rivers and lakes is densely covered, our bad water battle, long distance march person trapped/sleepy horse exhausted, the opposite party actually naval forces tyrannical, wait at ease for an exhausted enemy, so attacks long of enemy by oneself short, will not do well the brothers to kill there...... if, therefore cannot ask the person of high skill to leave the mountain to help, the trip I and others were more unfortunate than fortunate. ” 那陈封有着盖世武勇,麾下龙王寨也有十万人马,而且湖阳水网密布,我们不善水战,又长途行军人困马疲,对方却水师强横、以逸待劳,这般以己之短攻敌之长,弄不好众兄弟都会断送在那里……所以若是不能请高人出山帮忙,此行我等凶多吉少。” The people nod in abundance. 众人纷纷点头。 This time visits rashly, except for knowing personal connection, another goal is to then invite this person of high skill helps them exterminate the banditry. 此次贸然拜会,除了结识人脉,另一个目标便是请这位高人帮助他们剿灭匪患。 After all that „Dragon King” the Chen Feng military force shakes ancient Shuojin, if cannot find the law of conquering the enemy, they really thought that does not have the odds of success. 毕竟那“龙王”陈封的武力震古烁今,若不能找到克敌之法,他们实在觉得没胜算。 If this governing wind honorable person, if really in the hearsay said same is grasping the dwelling place of celestial beings method of controlling the forces of nature, that perhaps was in this world rare can deal with the Chen Feng person. 假如这御风真人,真如传闻中所言一样掌握着呼风唤雨的仙家法门,那或许是这世上少有的能对付陈封的人了。 „Hopes that he is not the generation of gaining fame by deceiving people......, moreover is willing to see us.” “希望他不是欺世盗名之辈……而且还愿意见我们。” Day sighed. 项天杰叹气。 At this time, knew the guest Daoist to walk, greeted the people: „My family teacher is invited, comes along with me.” 这时,知客道人走了出来,招呼众人:“我家师尊有请,诸位随我来。” Son of Heaven stronghold one group of relax immediately, hurries to enter the Daoist temple, has transferred several courtyards with the Daoist, then arrived at the Lord room quickly. 天王寨一行人顿时松了口气,赶紧进入道观,跟着道人转过几个院子,很快便到了主屋。 The people go, then sees Zhou Jing that on taoist priest dressed up, salutes in abundance. 众人一进去,便看到了诸位上道士打扮的周靖,纷纷行礼。 „Has seen the god clouds wind spirit honorable person.” “见过神霄风灵真人。” „Does not need to be overly courteous.” “不必多礼。” Zhou Jing beckons with the hand, the 11 of vision on these person of mountains has swept, finally falls on Longchuan, shows a faint smile. 周靖摆了摆手,目光在这些人山上一一扫过,最终落在卢龙川身上,微微一笑。 „I in in the capital, long castellan hears Lu offered amnesty by the royal government, start a new life, today must see fortunately.” “我在京中,久闻卢寨主受朝廷招安,迷途知返,今日才有幸得见。” Longchuan stares, has not thought that this person is so polite, immediately feels extremely flattered, responded submissively: „Honorable person is world-famous, I usually respected, today pays a visit rashly, looks at the honorable person no wonder.” 卢龙川一愣,没想到此人这么客气,顿时受宠若惊,拱手回应道:“真人名满天下,我素来敬仰,今日贸然登门拜访,望真人莫怪。” Two people business blew wavelet mutually, Zhou Jing greeted everyone to take a seat, making the disciple serve tea to the people. 两人商业互吹了一小波,紧接着周靖招呼大伙儿入座,让弟子给众人奉茶。 Chatted one, the people were the understanding. 聊了一阵,众人算是认识了。 Discovered governing wind honorable person who this is in power not overbearing domineering, instead is after quite genial, Son of Heaven stronghold one group are certain, did not have so many worries. 发现这得势的御风真人并不骄横跋扈,反而颇为和善之后,天王寨一行人心里一定,也没了那么多顾虑。 Sun Rong signals with the eyes toward Longchuan. 孙荣朝卢龙川使了个眼色。 Longchuan understands clearly, sleek/moist throat, shifting to a new subject, sincere say/way: 卢龙川了然,润了润嗓子,话锋一转,正色道: „Frankly, I and other today visited, needs help from the honorable person.” “实不相瞒,我等今日上门,正是有求于真人。” „But said that might as well.” Zhou Jing is without turning a hair. “但说无妨。”周靖面不改色。 The Longchuan tone enforces, said: „Under government authorities the aim, making me and others go Huyang to bandit suppression, the bandit chieftain Chen Feng skill in Wushu was extraordinary, the subordinate naval forces soldier essence will be broad, I and others perhaps were not a rival, will go bad the royal government important matter. Ponders over, only has the honorable person to have the ability to fall this person, therefore requested especially the honorable person assists me and others.” 卢龙川语气严肃起来,道:“官家下旨,令我等前去湖阳剿匪,那匪首陈封武艺超绝,麾下水师兵精将广,我等恐怕并非敌手,会坏了朝廷大计。思前想后,唯有真人才有本领降住此人,所以特来请求真人襄助我等。” The Zhou Jing hear, the expression is actually not accidental/surprised, asked back with a smile: „Government authorities may have the aim, making this poor Daoist accompany the armed forces to go to battle?” 周靖听完,表情却是毫不意外,笑着反问道:“官家可有下旨,让贫道随军出征？” „This not......” “这倒不曾……” „Un, this matter has nothing to do with me, why can this poor Daoist help and others?” “嗯,此事既与我无关,那贫道为何要帮助尔等？” The Zhou Jing tone is at a moderate pace. 周靖语气不紧不慢。 Longchuan sighed: „I know this matter to be towering, is only that Chen Feng disaster Huyang boundary, has become the royal government serious hidden trouble, if given time must deep-rooted ulcer of to become Fu the bone, useless...... I once hear in the landscape state, the honorable person reveals itself to look for the secret aids the peace, this Chen Feng demon harms the common people, just needs to rescue, I and others is actually not an opponent, has to seek the help, this visits.” 卢龙川叹气:“我知此事突兀,只是那陈封祸乱湖阳地界,已成朝廷心腹大患,假以时日必成附骨之疽,于江山社稷无益……我曾听闻,真人出世是为寻访天机护佑太平,这陈封魔头有害于百姓,正需要搭救,我等却不是对手,只好寻求帮助,这才自行上门。” Sun Rong set out, bows good a big ritual, interrupted: „Also looks at the honorable person to look in the share of common people common people, making a move exorcize demons.” 孙荣起身,躬身行了一个大礼,插嘴道:“还望真人看在黎民百姓的份上,出手降魔。” The Zhou Jing complexion is with a smile invariable. 周靖笑吟吟脸色不变。 He flings the floating dust conveniently, observes the situation the people, suddenly asked: „I hear that Chen Feng to ask for redress for the people in Huyang, is known as enforces justice on behalf of Heaven, you also once was the generation of greenwood, had the similar act, does not know how you did regard?” 他随手一甩浮尘,环视众人,忽然问道:“我听闻那陈封在湖阳为民伸冤,号称替天行道,尔等也曾是绿林之辈,亦有相似行径,不知你们如何看待？” People complexion one stiff, somewhat speechless. 众人面色一僵,有些哑然。 Sun Rong is without turning a hair, opens the mouth saying: 孙荣则是面不改色,开口道: „So conduct, although flaunted the temporary rapidness, actually went bad the way of the world custom, the action of seemingly good righteousness, has to lose the consideration actually. The royal government has the law, if disregards it repeatedly, voluntarily use penalty, such royal government order one bad, the livelihood of the people are more difficult, chaotic depressed. I and others mingled among the greenwood many years to understand that this truth, starts a new life finally, was inpelled to serve one's country by the royal government, that Chen Feng actually acts willfully, the reality is the action of bringing disaster on the nation and people, stops by rights ought.” “这般行事,虽说逞了一时之快,却坏了世道规矩,看似善义之举,实则有失考虑。朝廷自有法度,若屡屡无视之,自行使用刑罚,那样朝廷秩序一坏,民生更为多艰,混乱凋敝。我等混迹绿林多年才明白这个道理,最终迷途知返,受朝廷感召为国效力,那陈封却一意孤行,实乃祸国殃民之举,理当制止。” „Stands to reason.” Zhou Jing nods with a smile: „Since you have so experience, this poor Daoist is willing to lend a hand to help you.” “言之有理。”周靖笑着点头:“既然你有这般见识,贫道愿出手助你。” hears word, Lu Longchuan and the others looked the happy expression. 闻言,卢龙川等人面露喜色。 But at this time, a Zhou Jing thread of conversation revolution, said slowly: 但这时,周靖话锋一转,缓缓道: „But, I am responsible for am the government authorities refine the pill of immortality, the government authorities are not necessarily willing to make me leave Beijing. Was inferior that you hand over the folding booklet officially, requested that assigns this poor Daoist to accompany the armed forces to go to battle, by way of having an audience with the emperor the whole body of ministers discussed that if the government authorities agreed, I then leave the mountain to assist.” “不过,我负责为官家炼丹,官家未必愿意让我离京。不如你们正式递上折子,请求调派贫道随军出征,经由上朝时群臣商议,若官家同意,我便出山相助。” „This......” “这……” Longchuan looks the embarrassment. 卢龙川面露难色。 They usually in do not have the qualifications to have an audience with the emperor, this time goes to the capital to reward according to merit can a Saint, some time ago had seen, therefore wants to hand over the folding booklet to make the whole body of ministers now discuss, easily cannot achieve. 他们平日里并没有资格上朝,此次进京论功行赏才得以面圣,不久前已经见完了,所以现在想递折子让群臣商议,也不是轻易能做到的。 Sees that Zhou Jing shakes the head, said: „I, although has a mind to assist, but also the government authorities nod, this poor Daoist then waited for good news.” 见状,周靖摇了摇头,道:“我虽有心相助,可也得官家点头,贫道便等各位的好消息了。” Then, he serves tea to see a visitor out. 说完,他端茶送客。 Longchuan and the others were tactful, has to say goodbye to leave. 卢龙川等人识趣,只好告辞离开。 The group had/left the Daoist temple, looks at the front door to close, this look at each other in blank dismay. 一行人出了道观,看着大门闭上,这才面面相觑起来。 stone Hunu: 石虎怒哼: „Snort, pleasant to hear that this ox muzzle said that I looked that does not want to help, is not willing to fall the person pretext, then dodges with this excuse! He grotesquely, said that the male of emperor old did not favor settledly, had glory, splendor, riches and honor so, how emperor old will make him make so the sticky business?” “哼,这牛鼻子说的好听,我看就是不想帮忙,又不愿落人口实,便用这借口来搪塞！他长得怪模怪样的,说不定当了皇帝老儿的男宠,才有这般荣华富贵,那皇帝老儿怎会让他做这般苦差事？” „Be quiet, does not permit to talk nonsense! How does here allow your gruff goods to act unruly?!” “住嘴,不准胡言乱语！这里岂容你这憨货撒野？！” Longchuan has a scare, is angry to scold. 卢龙川吓了一跳,大怒呵斥。 „Did not say that did not say.” stone tiger has turned head, is still indignant. “不说就不说。”石虎扭过头去,兀自愤愤。 The Longchuan air/Qi results in the chest to fluctuate, some little time returns to normal, looks to Sun Rong, knits the brows: 卢龙川气得胸膛起伏,好一会才平复下来,看向孙荣,皱眉道: „Military strategist, you looks at this......” “军师,你看这……” Sun Rong is swinging the bamboo fan, hesitates saying: „Honorable person has complied, only the difference solicits the government authorities to agree with...... the castellan, it seems like we must visit Qin.” 孙荣摇着竹扇,沉吟道:“真人已经答应,只差征得官家同意……寨主,看来咱们须得拜会秦相了。” Longchuan hears word, sighed slightly. 卢龙川闻言,微微叹了口气。 Qin Song is one of the current dynasty seven thieves, simultaneously was their Son of Heaven strongholds in the method of in the capital. If there is a choice, Longchuan does not want to walk disloyal subject's relations, but what is done cannot be undone, they also can only face upwards Qinsong the breath conduct. 秦松是当朝七贼之一,同时一直是他们天王寨在京中的门路。如果有选择,卢龙川也不想走奸臣的关系,可木已成舟,他们也只能仰秦松鼻息行事了。 Another side, in Daoist temple Lord room. 另一边,道观主屋中。 Zhou Jing sends off Son of Heaven stronghold one group, sits the home position to drink tea slowly, the look becomes ponders. 周靖送走天王寨一行人,坐回原位慢慢喝茶,眼神变得玩味起来。 „In the past and Chen Feng meeting...... also good.” “过去和陈封会面……也不错。” He complies with Son of Heaven stronghold one group of request, has one to haggle over. 他答应天王寨一行人的请求,自有一番计较。 Now the reputation of Chen Feng first under heaven is solid, making Bill rub the heat degree in the past is also the say/way of praising. 如今陈封天下第一的名头已然坐实,让比尔过去蹭热度也是扬名之道。 Does not have the making a move opportunity in in the capital, this time can make two apostle bump, makes a magnificent scene to come out, not only manifests Chen Feng to excel by far the present age the military force, shows itself „technique law” prestige energy. 在京中没有出手机会,这次可以让两个使徒碰一碰,弄个大场面出来,不仅体现陈封冠绝当代的武力,也展现自身“术法”的威能。 So long as the sound is big enough, is astonishing enough, oneself display with Chen Feng „meeting as an equal” strength, that most likely (80%) will be supplied in the future by the royal government, treats as to restrain the Chen Feng backer, is favorable for both apostle. 只要动静够大,足够惊人,自身又表现出与陈封“分庭抗礼”的力量,那日后八成会被朝廷供起来,当作克制陈封的靠山,对两个使徒都有利。 Moreover, oneself go to battle along with the Son of Heaven stronghold, but can also the concurrent job traitor within, deliver the secret intelligence to Chen Feng that side. 另外,自身随天王寨出征,还能兼职内奸,给陈封那边送机密情报。 After all the Son of Heaven stronghold soldier many will be broad, is not good to cope, the meeting the tough head-on with toughness battle loss will not lower, instead makes the royal government laugh aloud. 毕竟天王寨兵多将广,也不是好对付的,硬碰硬战损不会低,反而让朝廷笑掉大牙。 So-called there can never be too much deception in war, might as well places a spy in the enemy army, letting Chen Feng can control the enemy trend, dealing with be more relaxed. 所谓兵不厌诈,还不如在敌方军中安插个奸细,让陈封能掌控敌军动向,应付起来更轻松。 Moreover, the status of spirit wind resulted in white/vain cannot be white, at all some people of suspicions are not he in the transportation information, was steady one batch. 而且,灵风子的身份白得不能再白了,根本不会有人怀疑是他在输送情报,稳得一批。 So long as the Son of Heaven stronghold loses, then spirit wind withdraws even, is not his ability is bad, but is the army is not powerful, will not damage his many images. 只要天王寨兵败,那么灵风子就算撤走,也不是他能力不济,而是大军不给力,不会损伤他多少形象。 „This wave credible...... even I can also have a money, along land transport to Chen Feng, when delivered express.” “这波靠谱……甚至我还能带点钱,顺路运给陈封呢,就当送快递了。” Zhou Jing smacks the lips, calculates secretly. 周靖咂咂嘴,暗自盘算。 ...... …… In the evening, Qin mansion. 晚间,秦相府。 „That spirit wind did say seriously?” “那灵风子当真这么说？” Qin Song listened to the words of Longchuan, some surprised. 秦松听完卢龙川的话,有一些吃惊。 „Absolutely true.” Longchuan nod. “千真万确。”卢龙川点头。 „This......” “这样啊……” Qin Song looking pensive, the finger ignited the table subconsciously. 秦松若有所思,手指下意识点着桌子。 He realized suddenly, this perhaps is a murdering with a borrowed knife good opportunity. 他忽然意识到,这或许是个借刀杀人的好机会。 Goes to the capital from spirit wind, the Saint family makes one be jealous to envy prosperously, some people flatter, some people dreaded in secret. 自灵风子进京,圣眷之隆让人眼红羡慕,有人去巴结,也有人暗中忌惮。 Although the governing wind honorable person has not striven for the power the meaning, but still some people regarded as eye-sore him. In the surface everyone gives him the face, in fact, some people want to eliminate are later quick. 虽然御风真人没有争权的意思,可仍然有人将他视作眼中钉。表面上大家都给他面子,实际上,有人想除之后快。 Qin Song did not calculate one of them, was far from is hostile, but emperor's favor and trust degree to the spirit wind, truly made him feel the threat. 秦松倒不算其中之一,谈不上敌视,但皇上对灵风子的宠信程度,确实让他感到威胁。 Moreover spirit wind the law of refine the pill of immortality is useful, the innumerable official tyrannical gentries support, making the personal connection knot of this person broader, the position is aloof. 而且灵风子的炼丹之法有用,无数官员豪绅捧场,让此人的人脉越结越广,地位超然。 Qin Song same has enjoyed the compounded drug advantage, calls out in alarm the wondrous use. 秦松一样享受过丹药的好处,也是惊呼妙用。 For this reason, his such powerful minister dreads spirit wind. 正因如此,他这样的权臣更为忌惮灵风子。 Although the spirit wind child present was only the lesser official of division Tianjian, no power......, but Qin Song understands profoundly, so long as became the favorite in emperor eyes, that government position was completely unimportant. 虽然灵风子如今只是司天监的小官,没什么权力……但秦松深刻明白,只要成了皇帝眼中的红人,那官职完全不重要。 In this deliberation hall, biggest power from emperor, even if the prime minister, were recalled is still only the emperor several words matters. 在这朝堂上,最大的权力来自皇帝,即便是个宰相,被罢免也只是皇帝几句话的事。 Said that you are white, you were pure, said that you were black, you faced retribution for a life of crime. 说你是白,你就清清白白,说你是黑,那你就恶贯满盈。 Without spirit wind, the competitor who few non- common senses may estimate, this looked like in Qin Song is not the misdemeanor. 没了灵风子,就少个非常理可揣度的竞争者,这在秦松看来不算坏事。 As for lives forever...... forgets as early as possible, does the wanting immortal who your the emperor harbors intentions sits dragon chair do, when the time comes damn died. 至于皇帝心心念念的长生不老……还是趁早忘了吧,你个坐龙椅的要长生干嘛,到时候了该死就死啊。 „This matter this knew, you go back and other news.” “此事本相知晓了,你回去等消息吧。” Qin Song has gotten back one's composure, the tone not salty was not pale. 秦松回过神,语气不咸不淡。 Regardless of the matter becomes inadequate, he did not plan that hands over evil spirit wind or the emperor......, therefore makes others have this head, the sign on his hand may be too many. 无论事情成不成,他都不打算交恶灵风子或皇帝……所以还是让别人出这个头吧,他手上的牌可太多了。
