Chapter 102 Sages and Devils

Gong Yicheng is already in his fifties, with a very thin face and a slender figure resembling a withered branch. The appearance looks ordinary, with a goatee on his chin and a pair of eyes that show some shrewdness and planning. He is dressed in a gray cloth robe and even shows some antiquity, making it hard to believe that such an inconspicuous person is one of the famous Second Masters of the Heavenly Cult, a highly respected strategist following the leader.

He has been in the Heavenly Sect for almost thirty years.

There are countless things I have experienced while following the leader, and it can be said that I have become accustomed to the changes and remain calm.

However, when Xie Wei's people came to ask him to pass by the mansion, the cunning and cunning spirit still smelled a few unusual meanings.

Gongyi Cheng is not afraid of Xie Wei.

After all, although the head of the sect has raised this person for twenty years or even adopted him as an adopted son, it seems like he has come out and trusts him greatly. However, Xie Wei's background is special, and to what extent this trust is, it is difficult to make hasty assertions.

He just feels a bit troublesome.

But everyone has already come to their door, where can they not go?

During his stay in the capital for a while, Gong Yicheng did indeed notice some unfavorable signs and was also considering finding an appropriate time to strike Xie Wei, so that he could remember what his duty was.

So, he still came.

"Please come in."

A faint voice from Xie Wei came from the Zhuo Qin Hall.

Just like when Gong Yicheng occasionally saw him in Jinling, there hasn't been much change over the years.

With a sudden thought in his mind, he walked in.

Jian Shu stood outside the door but did not enter.

Outside the Zhuo Qin Hall, some dim light shone in from the window sill. Xie Wei was wearing a snow-white Taoist robe and only used a ebony hairpin to tie his hair, with most of it scattered behind him, exuding a sense of casualness and leisure at home.

The Yiying tea set is ready.

He looked up and saw Gongyi Cheng. He asked him to sit down and smiled, saying, "I heard that Mr. Gongyi had arrived in the capital a few days ago, and I still didn't believe it. I think if Mr. Gongyi came to the capital, he would probably inform Xie. I didn't expect that Mr. Gongyi really came."

The core forces of Tianjiao are all located in the south.

The capital is located in the north, and the power of the imperial court is profound. The further south it goes, the weaker its control becomes, which is also suitable for the transmission of heavenly teachings and the development of power.

Gongyi Cheng often stayed in Jinling.

As for the capital, it has always been a place where the power of the Heavenly Cult is weak.

But since Xie Wei went to the capital a few years ago to participate in the imperial examination, especially four years ago when he returned to the capital to plan to help Shen Lang ascend the throne, such a person has become a hidden pillar for the Heavenly Sect to penetrate the court, and has even grown stronger in recent years. As a result, the power of the Heavenly Sect was able to develop secretly in the capital, and it has now reached a considerable scale.

Just here, Xie Wei is the one who talks.

In theory, as members of the same sect, Gong Yicheng should have greeted Xie Wei when he arrived in the capital, but he did not.

Gongyi Cheng sat opposite Xie Wei and looked up at him, seemingly trying to figure out the hidden meaning behind his words. However, he spoke unusually directly: "The leader has his destiny, things are urgent, he is busy dealing with them, and he forgot them without paying attention. Besides, you already knew about it, didn't you?"

Xie Wei poured boiling water into the tea cup.

Gongyi Cheng looked at the flowing white water and said calmly, "When you arrive in this capital, there are ears and eyes everywhere. If someone still wants to ask you if you should show them, why should I inform you?"

Xie Wei paused as he held onto the teapot and said, "Mr. Gongyi's words are too heavy. The leader of the Heavenly Sect is respected by everyone, and if there is an order, it must be followed. If there is an order, it must be carried out. The leader treats danger with great kindness, and how dare danger surpass him?"

Gong Yicheng gave a cold smile and said, "Is that so?"

Xie Wei put the kettle of boiling water back on the stove, but his face did not change. He turned around and poured tea for Gongyi Cheng, saying, "I have not done anything to harm the Heavenly Sect."

Gong Yicheng's gaze suddenly became sharper. He stood up, took two steps, looked down at him from a relatively high position, and said, "How can we explain what's happening outside Tongzhou and Fengtai?"

Xie Wei took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows, saying, "What's up?"

As Gong Yicheng looked at his calm and seemingly unaware appearance, he finally felt a surge of anger rising from his chest, and his voice became a bit sharp. He rebuked, "The Dog Emperor's move was wrong to deal with the Brave Marquis's Mansion, but it stirred up the hearts of the people and caused chaos in the world. It can also use this to rally the military's power and strengthen our sect. It is actually a divine opportunity to overthrow the court!"! But three groups of people were sent to the sea like mud cows without any news, and soon after, they found their bodies in the reed marshes at the dock and were all intercepted by people! Would you be unaware

Perhaps the water used to brew the tea today was too hot, and the resulting tea soup scratched the tip of the tongue, leaving behind a slightly astringent taste.

Winter has arrived, and all the new tea in spring has aged.

Xie Wei slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, looked up at Gong Yicheng's gaze, and smiled slightly: "Oh, there's still this matter? Since Mr. Gong Yicheng entered the capital, Wei dare not intervene in matters related to the sect. All affairs are handled by the master, but I really don't know who did such a big thing. Can you find out who did it?"

"..."

With four eyes facing each other, Xie Wei's eyes and expression were extremely calm, but Gong Yicheng was tightly tense, with an indescribable solemnity on his entire face.

Although the well water never flows into the river, Gong Yicheng seems to always be at odds with Xie Wei.

He felt that the move taken by the leader was a mistake. He should have eradicated the root and not left such a person behind. He even allowed him to reach such a high position in the Heavenly Sect, and let him go to the capital where the Heavenly Sect's influence is difficult to penetrate!

Lead the wolf into the house, then release the tiger back to the mountain!

Gongyi Cheng said, "That's really amazing. I thought that Du Jun had a close relationship with the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. You personally went to crown and write for the young Marquis this time, and it looked like you were nostalgic. Then I thought you were dissatisfied with the plan of the Heavenly Sect and secretly obstructed it. I thought the leader was too cruel!"

Xie Wei said, "Mr. Gongyi misunderstood."

However, when he said these words, he did not look directly at Gongyi Cheng. Instead, he turned his eyes to look at the withered grass and trees in the courtyard. Then he stood up and held his hand to the window, saying, "My aspirations are no different from those of the sect leader. Mr. Gongyi has been in the sect for so many years, and what I have done should have been known for a long time."

"That was in the past, I thought I knew it. Now that we have arrived in the capital, we know that people's hearts can change easily." Gong Yicheng laughed sarcastically, "Everyone in the court and even the entire capital knows that 'Mr. Xie' is very favored by the emperor. Not long ago, he even took charge of the Hanlin Academy, and his position has become more stable. I'm afraid that if we wait for another two years, not only will we have the name of an imperial teacher, but we may also have the real name of an imperial teacher soon!"! "Glory, wealth, and alluring eyes, who still remembers the vows and aspirations made back then?"

There are exquisite carvings on the window frames, which exude a touch of Jiangnan style.

It's just that Jiangnan doesn't have such a cold wind, such a big white snow.

There is a flower vase beside it, but there are no fresh flower branches at this time, and only three arrows are inserted inside.

Xie Wei reached out and picked up one.

The handle was heavy, and the arrow cluster was made of black iron. The body of the arrow was painted with fine silver patterns, but the feathers were two delicate gold leaves embedded in the tail of the arrow. This kind of thing, which may seem flashy but not practical at first glance, is probably a gift from a colleague in the court.

He lightly twirled his fingers.

This arrow also spun along with it.

Xie Wei said, "Mr. Gongyi doesn't believe me with such words. So, the case of Yu Ruyi in the palace is also Mr. Gongyi's work?"

The jade Ruyi dedicated to Empress Dowager Xiao is engraved with anti party rumors.

A disturbance caused him to damage the decoration in the inner palace. After three or two years of hard work, he was forced to cut off his tail in order to protect himself! He hasn't even calculated this account yet!

At this point, there is finally a sense of sharp confrontation between swords and knives.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yicheng burst into laughter.

He lifted his robe, sat down again, picked up his tea, but said in a gloomy tone, "I ruined your decoration, moved your hands, and you really have dissatisfaction in your heart!"

Xie Wei arrived at the tea table, and behind it was an empty wall that was used to face the wall. He only said, "Only when others ask for help, will they be attracted by me. Most of the people who work in the palace are from poor backgrounds. The brave and resolute Marquis's Mansion is also a loyal and patriotic family, and can be called a pillar of the country.". Mr. Gongyi assisted in teaching for many years, strategizing and strategizing, and also preaching and preaching. However, when he came to the capital today, he first caused a disturbance in the case of Yu Ruyi, which involved many innocent people. He also wanted to trap the Marquis's Mansion in an disloyal and unjust place, disregarding the lives of his entire family. Excuse me, sir. Do you still remember the vows and aspirations made back then

"Okay, okay! It's like telling the truth!" Gong Yicheng couldn't help but caress his hands, but looked at Xie Wei with a hint of contempt. "A few months ago, when the head of the sect secretly sent me to Beijing to understand the situation and preside over the overall situation, I had concerns. I was afraid that you might have been obsessed with wealth and wealth, and I was afraid that you might have been implicated in the Marquis's Mansion too deeply with women's benevolence! I thought you were someone who cared about the overall situation, but unexpectedly, you were all caught in the head's words!"

Xie Wei looked back at him without answering.

Gong Yicheng's gaze was cold, and even his voice was tinged with a hint of coldness. He said, "Don't forget who spared your life back then, and who gave you everything you have now! Since you know that the Heavenly Sect treats you like a mountain of kindness, it's like a reconstruction, so you should know where you are! There is no room for you to voice your opinions on what the sect should do first!"

Xie Wei remained silent.

That arrow was at his fingertips, without any warmth.

Only the golden arrow feathers reflect the increasingly dim sky, reflecting a little light.

The tone of Gong Yicheng was no longer like a conversation, but rather a warning, and he asked himself that he was older than Xie Wei and had deeper qualifications in the Heavenly Sect than Xie Wei. He was qualified to teach him such a lesson.

There is even a hint of threatening warning between the words.

After this incident, Xie Wei will inevitably lose the trust of the sect leader, so he no longer puts Xie Wei in the same position as himself. He said with a stern tone, "Helping the needy and helping the poor, the world is a doctrine that attracts people's hearts. To achieve great things, sacrificing a few insignificant people and sacrificing a brave Marquis's Mansion is nothing! In times of chaos, saints are just useless, and only heroes can overthrow this world!"

In times of chaos, saints are nothing but trash, and only heroes can overthrow them in this world.

Xie Wei remained silent for a long time.

Until the golden leaf arrow feather on the arrow he was holding in his hand no longer refracted the sky light, he slowly said, "You're right."

After saying a lot, Gong Yicheng finally picked up his tea and took a sip, moistening his throat. He didn't even look back at his expression, but said, "From now on, don't interfere with the academic affairs in Beijing anymore."

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly had a heavy thought in his mind!

Unexpectedly, Xie Wei walked behind him at some point, reached out his hand, and without warning, forcefully pressed his head, pressing it against the tea table!

"Pi Li Pa!"

The tea utensils piled up on the tea table suddenly fell off!

Gongyi Cheng is already very old, and he never thought about what danger he would encounter when he arrived at Xie Wei's mansion today, because he never thought about Xie Wei's years in the Heavenly Cult and how he dared to do anything shocking to the world. He couldn't even react!

Everything is in an instant!

Xie Wei's face remained expressionless, and the arrow in his hand coldly pierced into Gong Yicheng's neck. The sharp arrow made of black iron pierced through his throat, with such great force that it nailed him to the table. The blood on the side of his neck burst and spewed out a large amount of blood, splattering his entire body white!

"Gulu..."

Gong Yicheng's throat emitted some strange sounds with unknown meanings.

Both of his eyes widened with fear, struggling frantically. He reached out and tightly grasped Xie Wei's hand, covering his throat, as if trying to save his lost life with this faint effort.

However, all of this is so futile in front of this indifferent person!

===Kunning Section 132===

Not willing, not believing!

Gong Yicheng's mouth was bleeding and he stared at him intently, "Dujun! You..."

However, it is extremely blurry and cannot be heard clearly.

Xie Wei seemed a bit dazed, thinking of the tall cherry tree in the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. As before, he slowly and softly said, "You're right. If a saint can't succeed, what this world wants is a hero. Those who follow the rules always have to walk harder..."

So, what are the rules to follow?

He can do things that others can do, and he will do them even more ruthlessly and absolutely than others! Just like now!

At the end of his life, Gong Yicheng finally realized something and also realized the meaning behind Xie Wei's words.

However, there is no time left to think carefully.

Regret is too late.

The blood gushing from his neck was no longer as intense as before, like the originally gushing spring slowly drying up, becoming calm.

The tea table was dripping up and down.

Gradually deflated.

Blood, still carrying warmth, flowed over Xie Wei's feet. He didn't move a step until the thin body under his hand was motionless, and he slowly let go.

The face of a sage is stained with blood and covered with hands!

Turning around, the snow-white clothes were already shocking. Looking up, I saw Jian Shu standing at the door, looking at him in shock.

Xie Wei lowered his eyes and walked over to pick up a clean handkerchief on the table to wipe his hands. He said calmly, "Pack it up."
