33. The arrogance of holding the sword
Sword Court.
In the Heavenly Sword Hall, Yang Qiusheng sat on the throne exclusive to the master, listening to Wang Langtai's report.
"Father, sixty percent of the people in the Heavenly Sword Peak have joined the Sword Holding Association, and the rest of the peaks have also recruited a small part, but the first seat of each vein has secretly recalled the disciples, Duan Yihong is out of the customs today, Wei Shu arrived a few days ago, it seems that he was entrusted by Wu Qi to send medicine to Feng Jiu for treatment, Ye Xiaolang arrived yesterday, Shen Wanzhou and Gu Changming will not exceed the day after tomorrow at the latest, these people have great prestige in all veins, if they are recruited, it will have an immeasurable effect on the Sword Holding Association to take over the Sword Court; γ Duan Yihong is a hard stubble, the sword that is cultivated is not easy to shake, Ye Xiaolang is an orphan, fatherless and motherless, he has no concern in the mortal world, it is not easy to start, Wei Shu is in a special situation, it is easy to attract his uncle Wei Ran when he moves, Gu Changming is too deep, I can never see through him, it seems that there is only Shen Wanzhou. Among these people, Shen Wanzhou's strength is the strongest, it is said that he admires Lu Fengxin of Hidden Sword Peak, the child thinks like this, he can't help but have a lot of dreams at night, and directly find a reason to arrest Lu Fengxin to the Law Enforcement Academy, what do you see, father?"
Yang Qiusheng approvingly: "The easiest way is often to solve the most difficult problems, yes." β
Wang Langtai was encouraged, and continued with a smile: "Most of the members of the Heavenly Department and the Rain Department are still resisting, among them, Wu Qi and Yuhuatian are the most intense, and Zhao Gongling of the Red Department has completely surrendered and joined the Sword Carrying Association with all the members. Lei Bu's words ...... "Wang Langtai paused when he said this.
"What's wrong with the Thunder Department?" Yang Qiusheng said.
Wang Langtai thought for a moment, and then said: "The situation of the Lei Department is not as clear as others, and the internal division is very serious at the moment: one faction is Xu Longxiang's old department, firmly believing that Xu Longxiang was framed, and asking the Law Enforcement Institute to release Xu Longxiang and then execute the real murderer Yan Li; This faction is the most numerous, and there is a faction that wanders between the two, and unlike the first two who resolutely resist the sword, they have quietly joined, and they are typical of the wallgrass. However, this faction is the least numerous. β
Yang Qiusheng said: "Chang Maochun should have seen through it, and then his position is very important, Xu Longxiang did not confess Chang Maochun, this is his vitality, and it is also his trust in Chang Maochun, you can start here, as long as Xu Longxiang is released, these problems can be solved." β
"Yes, the boy understands. Wang Langtai was full of admiration, saluted and retreated, and immediately took people back to the Law Enforcement Academy, and entered the Law Enforcement Hall to meet the new head Chang Maochun.
Chang Maochun has changed from an elder to the head of the Law Enforcement Academy, and his status can be described as a thousand miles a day, which is enough to be on an equal footing with the heads of each vein. But after a period of adaptation, he has completely calmed down. Judging from a series of actions of the Sword Fighting Association, he found that Yang Qiusheng was lying, and these things about what son was not his own were all bait used to tie himself to the thief ship. Seeing Wang Langtai coming in, he knew that the other party was ready to come to a showdown.
"Courtyard Master, my subordinates have completed today's inspection, do you have any other orders?" Wang Langtai saluted to Chang Maochun in a proper manner.
Chang Maochun showed a mocking look on his face: "Wang Langtai, you and your father really acted in a good show!"
Wang Langtai said: "The disciple has never learned opera, but he can't sing. β
Chang Maochun said: "After all, this seat has taken the position that should belong to you, don't you hate this seat?"
Wang Langtai said sincerely: "My father needs the master, and the sword wielding association also needs the master, how can the disciple dare to compete with the master for this honor." β
Chang Maochun said angrily: "That's a good thing to say! What is the surname of the Sword Court in the future, and what other expectations can this seat have? You will always be really ambitious, so big, and you are not afraid of dying!"
Wang Langtai said: "The master of the academy is serious, the original intention of the Sword Wing Association is to protect the Sword Court, no matter the past or the present, this original intention will never change, if the master of the academy also joins to become a sword protector, it will be easier to handle the affairs of the Law Enforcement Academy." Of course, this is just a small suggestion from the disciple, after all, the sword will always come and go freely, and there are no restrictions. β
"Freedom?" Chang Maochun sneered, "Do you know how many papers about the Sword Command Association have been received by this seat in the past few days? I'm afraid that the words you have written in your life are not as many as these papers." Tell you, don't think that you can corrupt this seat with your power, this seat is also a member of the Sword Court, go back and tell Yang Qiusheng that the Sword Wing will always enter the Sword Court, and I, Chang Maochun, will not agree! If you deprive me of the position of the head of the Academy, then wait for the fish to die and the net will be broken!"
"Of course, it's your freedom. Wang Langtai saluted with a smile, slowly exited the hall, and when he turned around, his face sank.
In the secluded cave, under the dark and cold limestone is a waterhole, Xu Longxiang is half immersed in the water, his hands are cuffed together, and the visible bruises look very miserable.
This is a VIP prison for prisoners who have committed serious crimes or are about to be executed. The surrounding limestone also has a name, called the Yin Soul Stone, excavated from the large cemetery, it will naturally exude a cold breath, soak half of the body in it, mortals will not be able to do more than half a day, the lower body will be permanently unconscious, the practitioner can hold for a while, but the power of yin and cold is eroding your body all the time, as if there are countless small sword qi drilled in the body, each time only one wound is cut, it will not make you feel pain, but it will make you uncomfortable, many discomforts continue to converge, and it will become a pain that is difficult to explain in wordsγ
Xu Longxiang had only been imprisoned for a few days before he had already fallen into a situation where life was worse than death. He told so many lies, acted so exquisitely, and hurt so many people, the ultimate goal was to survive, but at this moment, he would rather never come back alive.
"Let me come up, let me up, please......" his mournful howl echoed in the cave. The two law enforcement disciples guarding the door stood there expressionlessly, always deaf to this dry howl. "Master is already the master of the courtyard, if you don't let me go, I will be the first to cut you when I go out!" he roared and threatened, and the law enforcement disciple still stood there expressionless.
One of them finally opened his mouth with disdain: "We are all sword protectors of the Sword Bearer Association, in the Sword Bearer Association, the sword protector and the sword protector are equal, except for the president, we don't have to obey anyone's orders, you can be counted, you are not even a sword protector, and you are not qualified to talk to us on an equal footing!"
The other sneered: "Even if you can really get away with the crime and join the Sword Bearer Association, you are just a sword protector, there will always be strict rules for sword holders, and there is no infighting between sword guards, if you dare to touch us, what awaits you will be a disaster immediately!"
Xu Longxiang immediately changed his face again, and begged: "I don't ask you to let me go, I just ask to help me get a mat, the table and stones are fine, as long as I can help my feet come out of this water, I am willing to give my whole wealth!"
"Oh?"
"How many do you have?"
"Nine hundred soul stones, thirty moon magic stones, plus treasures and elixirs, all for you......"
"Send the person who asks for food!" The law enforcement disciple "puffed", if it was in the past, he might be tempted, but after joining the Sword Execution Association, his years have risen sharply, Xu Longxiang's entire net worth is only equivalent to his two years, you must know that the most important role of the water prison is to torture the prisoners, help the prisoners get rid of the torture, if they are discovered, he will also become a prisoner of the water prison, obviously this little thing is not enough for them to take such a huge risk.
When the two were talking, they saw Wang Langtai leading people over, hurriedly restrained their minds, and stood indifferently.
Wang Langtai walked into the cave and said with a smile to Xu Longxiang: "Senior Brother Xu, can you sleep well these days?"
"It's Senior Brother Langtai!" Xu Longxiang was overjoyed, "Senior Brother Langtai, you tell those two and let them help me put the foot pad out, I'm really uncomfortable, please, even if I die immediately, I'm willing to ......"
Wang Langtai smiled and glanced at the law enforcement disciple, who understood, that is, to touch a mechanism, and the chain that hung Xu Longxiang stretched up, pulling him up from the water.
"Is that better?"
"Great, great......" Xu Longxiang almost burst into tears, looking at Wang Langtai as if looking at his parents, "Senior Brother Langtai, I really didn't expect that at the last moment, you would be the only one who was good to me! Senior Brother Langtai, were you ordered to send me on the road? I don't have any other wishes, I just ask you, be sure to kill Yan Li's bedbug, he is a demon, and the Sword Court can't be polluted by demon blood......
"Why bother. Wang Langtai said with a smile, "For such a trivial matter as revenge, Senior Brother Xu is still better to do it himself." β
When Xu Longxiang was still thinking about this, when he heard this, he suddenly froze, and looked at Wang Langtai in disbelief, "Senior brother is saying that I can be forgiven?"
"No, no, no," Wang Langtai shook his head and waved his hand and said with a smile, "He is innocent, how can it be called forgiveness?" What kind of magic power did Xiao Yuyan use to control Senior Brother to tell a lie, we don't know, we only know that Senior Brother Xu will never harm Senior Brother Lei. β
"Divine powers, falsehood?" Xu Longxiang chewed, his eyes gradually lit up, "Yes, yes, how can Xiao Yuyan guarantee that she is not lying? In the final analysis, supernatural powers can be faked! Senior Brother Langtai, let me out, I have something to say!"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Xu, there is still a small matter for my little brother to ask you for help. β
"You say you say it!"
Wang Langtai waved away his entourage and law enforcement disciples, and when there were only two people in the cave, he smiled and said to Xu Longxiang: "I want you to assassinate Chang Maochun." β
