Yan Wushi smiled and said, "You are so open-minded."
Chen Qiao: "Didn't Sect Master Yan say that there is good news and bad news? What is the good news?"
Yan Wushi: "I have already said the good news. Li Qingyu stole the limelight from Xuandu Mountain. Your junior brother Yu lost his face. Isn't that good news for you?"
Chen Qiao was a little helpless: "What about the bad news?"
Yan Wushi: "The bad news is that what you are worried about finally happened. Yu Ai and the Turks might have a relationship."
Chen Qiao frowned: "How do you say it?"
Yan Wushi deliberately paused for a while until Chen Qiao couldn't help but lean forward and showed a urging expression. He slowly said: "Just after Yutai's discussion on the Tao, Khan's envoy went to Xuandu Mountain and asked Xuandu Mountain to send someone to the Eastern Turks to preach."
Chen Qiao's brows frowned deeper and deeper.
Yan Wushi: "Do you know who Erfu Khan is?"
Chen Qiao nodded silently.
His period was not in vain. In addition to comprehending "Zhu Yangce", he would also pay attention to major events in the world.
The Turks are now strong, and even the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi have to be weak, but the Turks are very different from the Han system. Although Tuobo Khan was the supreme ruler of the Turks, he also appointed his nephew and younger brother to manage the East and West Turks separately.
And the Eastern Turkic Khan was photographed by Tuobo Khan's nephew.
It is said that this man is ambitious and not inferior to Tuobo Khan, and is not a thing in the pool.
Xuandu Mountain is thousands of miles away and has not been concerned about worldly affairs for a long time. As soon as it enters the world, it is difficult not to make people think about it. Chen Qiao immediately thought of Yu Ai and Kunxie working together to design the matter of falling from the cliff.
But what benefits can it bring to Xuandu Mountain when getting close to the Turks?
Chen Qiao said: "He is trying to get a tiger."
Yan Wushi chuckled: "That may not be the case. The Turks are strong. Now as long as you don't want to start a war, who can't tolerate three points? You see, did Emperor Zhou marry a Turkic queen?"
Chen Qiao shook his head: "Zhou Lord seized power from Yuwen Hu, and has been in charge for many years. He has never seen any sword Feng Shuang. I heard that in order not to be controlled by the Turks, he deliberately alienated and neglected the Asina clan. It can be seen that he is a sensible person in his heart. Although Yu Ai is smart, Xuandu Mountain has been closed for many years, and he is self-reliant and wants to cooperate with the Turks, but he is afraid that he will suffer in the end."
Yan Wushi picked up the post that he had just put on the table and stuffed it into his arms: "You are like an abandoned disciple in Xuandu Mountain's eyes now, and you still want to do so many things? There is a birthday party here, and I don't have time to go, but you must be interested."
At this time, the candlelight was dim, and Chen Qiao did not open his eyes to look at it. He only took the invitation and rubbed it for a while. His fingers were extremely delicate and smooth. Just by relying on the faint and raised ink marks left on it, the word "Su Wei" had already been found.
He tilted his head and wondered: "I don't know this person."
Yan Wushi: "Su Wei-Su Wuwei, he inherited the Duke of Meiyang County. He married Yuwen Hu's daughter and should have been implicated, but he was talented. Emperor Zhou loved talents and wanted to use him more, but he refused to do so because he was sick and studied at home. His mother had a life of fifty the next day, and even the emperor sent a gift."
"However," he changed his subject, "Su Wuwei also has a younger brother named Su Qiao, but he is from the Jianghu. And guess where does he come from?"
Seeing that Chen Qiao was listening seriously, he wanted to catch other people's hands and play with them.
However, Chen Qiao was prepared for a long time, so he simply carried his hand directly behind. After a while, he seemed to find that this move was a little childish, so he turned to put his hand in the sleeve in front of him.
Yan Wushi said with a tsk: "I offer you food and accommodation, and I have provided you with so much information, but you are so angry that you don't even want to touch me!"
Chen Qiao was unmoved: "If Master Yan was willing, there would be countless beauties in the mansion who came forward to serve him."
Yan Wushi: "A Qiao, you are so boring!"
Having said that, he still told Chen Qiao: "Su Qiao is from Chunyang Temple, and it is the senior brother who lost to Yu Ai with half a move."
Chen Qiao thought for a while: "I have heard of Li Qingyu's reputation, but Su Qiao didn't seem to have heard of it much."
Yan Wushi: "He was born into a great family, and there was also Su Wei, who was like a father and brother, and he was naturally not as high-profile as Li Qingyu. However, since Su Qiao and Li Qingyu are brothers, Li Qingyu might also go to the birthday party of Su Wei and Su Qiao's mother in the future. Don't you want to see this rising star who will fight Xuandu Mountain alone and almost defeat your junior brother?"
Chen Qiao touched the handwriting on the invitation and nodded gently: "I know, thank you Sect Master Yan."
Yan Wushi smiled and said, "I have no contact with the Su family. Because of my extraordinary status, they had to post it. I never thought I would go to the banquet. If you take my post, you will also send me a gift and count the gift."
It's a bit strange for people like him to notice the issue of etiquette, but Chen Qiao didn't think much about it: "Okay."
...
Su Wei was born in the Su family of Jingzhao, and this branch is also a prominent family. His father Su Chuo was a famous minister of the Western Wei Dynasty. His wife Yuwen was the daughter of Yuwen Hu. If you look at it in detail, Yuwen Hu is still the niece of the current Zhou Emperor. Although Emperor Zhou killed Yuwen Hu, he did not implicate his family and took good care of this niece.
At that time, most famous families were married to the royal family, and their relationship was constantly broken. The Su family was no exception. On the birthday of Su's mother, there were endless guests coming to celebrate her birthday. The traffic in front of the door was full of traffic and almost blocked. The Su family had to send someone to guide the traffic in front of the door to avoid hindering others' passage.
Chen Qiao also came by a carriage. As soon as the carriage from the Prince's Shaoshi Mansion arrived, he alarmed Su Wei, who was still in the hospitality.
Although Yan Wushi did not hold a real position in the court, Emperor Zhou believed in the Huanyue Sect. He was able to successfully kill Yuwen Hu and seize power. It is said that there was no help from Huanyue Sect. Su Wei was a typical literati doctor. Although he had no intention of becoming an official, he had no intention of making enemies. He sent a post to Yan Wushi, which was just etiquette. Unexpectedly, someone in the Shaoshi Mansion came, and he heard this and quickly welcomed him out.
Su Wei was stunned when the people in the carriage came.
No matter how many times he deals with Yan Wushi, he also knows that the person in front of him is definitely not Yan Wushi.
"You dare to ask if you are..."
"In Shen Qiao, Sect Master Yan was summoned by His Majesty to the palace and had no time to clone him. Chen came to celebrate his birthday on his behalf, and I hope Mr. Su will forgive me."
With his words, and the other party came in the carriage of the Shaoshi Mansion, Su Wei smiled relievedly and said, "So that's it, Mr. Chen is here to ask."
Although he welcomed the people inside, he felt that he was not unsurprising.
Yan Wushi is a man from the Jianghu. Su Wei knew that Huanyue Sect was made a demon sect by many people. He also heard from his younger brother Su Qiao that the man in front of him was neither like a man from the Jianghu nor a court official. He looked sick and had a fairy-like appearance. Could it be that he was a famous scholar that Yan Wushi made?
Not only was he curious, but he was also curious when he saw the host greeting him in person and then picked up a blind guest.
Yan Wushi's name is well-known in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but few have seen him. Many people saw Chen Qiao following Su Wei in, thinking that he was the leader of Huanyue Sect, but they also saw Princess Qingdu, who was famous for his seriousness, take the initiative to go over and greet him, and became more and more curious.
Because of Su Qiao, not all the guests present were nobles from aristocratic families, and some people from the martial arts world.
The owner of Chunyang Temple, Yi Pichen, did not come in person, but sent his disciple Li Qingyu. Li Qingyu made a big splash in the Yutai discussion on Xuandu Mountain a few days ago, and everyone knew it. Seeing that Chunyang Temple had a faint momentum to replace Xuandu Mountain, everyone wanted to heat the stove, so naturally there were many people around him.
But the brothers of Su Qiao and Li Qingyu have a good relationship. The former introduced Li Qingyu to his family who had a relationship with the Su family. When Li Qingyu was greeting people in the martial arts world, he did not forget to bring Su Qiao up and let the senior brother show his face.
Chen Qiao politely declined the proposal of Princess Qingdu to ask him to sit over and sit in the seat arranged by the owner.
He represented Yan Wushi, so the seat would not be too bad. Seeing that Chen Qiao was inconvenient, the guest next to him gave the dishes, he specifically told him to put the dishes on Chen Qiao's table on his right so that he could pick them up.
Chen Qiao expressed his kindness to the other person: "Thank you, this husband, who is here in Chen Qiao, don't know the name of the husband?"
The other party smiled and said, "It's just a matter of raising hands, I'm just talking too much. Mr. Chen doesn't have to be polite. In Xia Pu Liuru, I have a single name."
Pu Liuru Jian sat next to Shen Qiao, but did not ask about his identity and origin, nor did he express curiosity and concern for his eyes. He only told him that his master Su Wei is quite talented, famous, proficient in poetry and essays, good at the law, and admires him in words.
When talking about poetry and literature, it is inevitable that there will be a hundred Buddhist, Taoist, Confucianism and Law. The Northern Zhou Dynasty worshipped Buddhism very strongly. At first, Yuwen Hu was regent and appointed monk Xueting as the national teacher. Now that Emperor Yuwen Yong of Zhou is in power, he tried his best to eliminate the influence left by Yuwen Hu, the worship of Buddhism cannot be completely eliminated in a short time. Pu Liurujian himself believes in Buddhism and is very interested in Taoism and does not reject it. He obviously did not expect that Chen Qiao had a deep study of the Taoist school. After talking to each other, he couldn't help but feel a sense of being right and sympathetic.
After they got to know each other, seeing that Princess Qingdu sent someone to invite her, Pu Liurujian joked: "There are not many people who can make the Princess Qingdu give up their marriages in the capital. How many people will envy you when you say it?"
Chen Qiao: "Brother Pu Liuru laughed."
Pu Liurujian: "I heard that Su Wei's younger brother Su Qiao came out of Chunyang Temple. Today, many people from the world came to the world. I guess they were all for the sake of Chunyang Temple."
Chen Qiao: "Brother Pu Liuru knows you?"
Pu Liurujian: "In the past, I envied the freedom of the Jianghu people. I also learned to wander around for a few years, so I recognized a few faces."
Chen Qiao: "Can you ask Brother Pu Liuru to introduce me?"
Pu Liurujian said cheerfully: "What's the difficulty!"
He said to Chen Qiao, "Su Qiao, you know him. The one next to him is Li Qingyu. These two people are called Qingcheng Twin Bi. However, in terms of fame, Li Qingyu is still bigger. You must have heard of his prestige on Xuandu Mountain a few days ago. The person who was talking to them was called Changsun Sheng, who studied under the Zhongnan Sect. Although the Zhongnan Sect was not famous, Changsun Sheng was also a high-ranking family. He had excellent archery skills and rarely had rivals. The yellow clothes beside Changsun Erlang were called Dou Yanshan."
