Council Chamber

In the solemn conference hall, there were four rows of thirty or forty guards standing on both sides at this moment, these people were about forty years old, their temples were bulging, they were wearing the robes of the Sword Sect, their shoulders were broad, their chests were broad, and they were wearing scarves on their legs.

The person who was called by Sect Master Wang to take him straight to the house took Jiang Xing, and Duan Daya was naturally not qualified to enter the council hall, so he was left outside the door.

Jiang Xing entered the council hall for the first time, and the deputy hall master level actually couldn't come to the council hall, and when he entered the council hall, a long big mahogany table was in the middle of the house.

More than a dozen people sat around the big table, although it was daytime, but the room was not very well lit, but it seemed a little dark, so a lot of lights were lit, so the room seemed extremely bright. He didn't dare to look at Wang Fengchu, who was sitting on the main seat, and bowed and said, "I've seen Sect Master Wang." ”

Wang Fengchu was dressed in a white robe, sat on the main seat with a serious face, and nodded to him: "Sit down, there are still a few people who haven't arrived, wait for a while." ”

"Yes" Jiang Xing responded, and found a place to sit in the corner of the table.

After about a cup of tea, a few people came one after another.

Hearing this, Wang Fengchu cleared his throat: "Ahem! Someone! Close the door,"

I saw someone coming at the door and creaking the thick gate shut from the outside.

When the door was closed, there were only a dozen people sitting around the table in the room, and it was so quiet that it could be heard.

Wang Fengchu looked around at everyone and opened his mouth and said: "Everyone also knows that the battle of Liaoyuan Slope suffered heavy losses, and the casualties were not counted. The Lord of the Hall of Bears and the Lord of the Hall of Lin have fallen. This is a sad thing, but the situation is grim, and we can only turn our grief into strength and win the next victory, so that we have the time and time to remember them. I've discussed with the elders before, and we'll do everything we can to treat their families as well as the brothers who died in battle.

He paused and continued: "Next, I will announce several urgent appointments and arrangements, Wei Wuya, the deputy hall master of the original wind hall, will take Xiong Lie's place, and arrange for the people who have returned from Liaoyuan Slope one after another, although their identities have been verified before, the first thing you have to do is to verify it again, in case the people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect fish in troubled waters."

The second is whether these people have two hearts or whether there are people who have taken refuge in the Dragon and Tiger Sect, I think I do have the heart of a villain to live in the belly of a gentleman, but in this position, I have to put the interests of the sect first and strangle all unstable factors in the cradle. Wei Wuya, do you know?" Wang Fengchu said at the end, and his tone suddenly increased.

Wei Wuya is a middle-aged man with a small head and a pointed chin, who is a little obscene in Jiang Xing's opinion, Jiang Xing also knew him when he was in Fengtang before, and he heard that his style is not too unclear with some female disciples, Jiang Xing is not very good at him.

I saw this guy stand up and nod busily: "Yes, thank you for the trust of the sect master, I will go back and clear the Fengtang, promise not to let go of a person who is unfavorable to the Sword Sect, and then tidy up the style and discipline to improve morale and prepare for the next war." ”

Wang Fengchu still nodded with a serious face and waved his hand: "Okay, you sit down first, and then look directly at Jiang Xingdao: Jiang Xing, Deputy Hall Master Jiang!"

Jiang Xingzheng was looking at him, but he didn't expect him to suddenly look at himself in surprise and stood up and said "here"

Wang Fengchu looked at him: "Deputy Hall Master Jiang, although you are not very old, you have made a lot of contributions to the Vertical Sword Sect, from shooting Wang Manzi to going deep into the tiger's den to find out the intelligence and retreating, I have to say that you are indeed wise and brave." After the misfortune of Hall Master Lin, I think you should be able to take his place and not let us down. Do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Xing guessed that there was definitely something going to happen to let him come to this kind of meeting, but he didn't expect to let him accept the entire Lei Tang of thousands of people, he knew that he was not the material to manage people, so he immediately waved his hand vigorously and said: "Sect Master, this, I will definitely not be competent, you better choose someone else, I am still young and I still have to go through the experience, please take back my life." ”

Everyone on the table looked at him together, Wang Fengchu stared at him and didn't move his eyes: "It's okay, you can practice in front of the Lei Hall Master, it's so decided, you will be the same as Wei Wuya, first clear the inside, and then defend against external enemies." I don't know what kind of abacus Wang Fengchu is playing, and he is determined to let Jiang Xing sit in the position of Lei Tang and not allow Jiang Xing to speak again, Wang Fengchu waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Jiang Xing couldn't say anything more and sat down.

Some of the older people on the table were just about to speak, only to see Wang Fengchu slap the table. Immediately after that, without waiting for those people to speak, he continued: "I summarized the reasons why Liaoyuan Slope defeated us: First, they attacked in the dark and in the night, but they didn't expect the opposite side to attack with fire, which is our tactical failure.

Second, the three roads did not launch an offensive together, so that Xiong Lie's team in the middle lane received heavy losses and defeated us, and the third and most important point was that Longhumen invited Qingfeng Zhai to help. We are even more guarded by those who are adept at assassination and sneak attacks.

Just now I received a report from the spies in front of me, Longhumen, Qingfeng Zhai Liaoyuan Slope direction, coming to our side. But don't worry, I have asked my friend Liu Jing, the governor of Jizhou soldiers and horses, to come to help, at this time, it is estimated that the army of several thousand people is coming, and when Liu Jing arrives, the dragon and tiger gate will be surrounded and annihilated. ”

Everyone plus Jiang Xing included, first heard that Longhumen was coming towards this side, and was secretly frightened, and then heard that Wang Fengchu's rescuers were already on the way, but their hearts relaxed.

After that, he arranged and discussed the location of each church and the preparations to be made in wartime.

By the time Jiang Xing and the others got up to say goodbye to Wang Fengchu, it was already an hour later.

Everyone left, but the old man sitting on Wang Fengchu's right hand did not move, he squinted at Wang Fengchu and said, "How much did it cost to invite Liu Jing?"

Wang Fengchu was not embarrassed at all and opened his mouth and said, "500,000!"

The old man nodded: "It's the survival of the Guan Sect, and 500,000 is worth it." ”

Wang Fengchu echoed: "Well, I'm really afraid that I have to ask Master Song and you and Uncle Tian to make a move......

The old man said: "Well, it is a matter of life and death for the sect, and we naturally have a responsibility. ”

..................

Jiang Xing, who walked out of the council hall, walked side by side with Wei Wuya,

"Hall Master Wei, congratulations!" Jiang Xing saluted Wei Wuya and smiled.

"Oh, Hall Master Jiang, congratulations, Hall Master Jiang is young and promising! It's a good time, my age can't compare to you. Wei Wuya's face bloomed with joy and replied to Jiang Xing.

"Where, where is it, Hall Master Wei has a heroic face, and he is extraordinary at first glance. ”

"Oops, dude, you're really good at talking. ”

Jiang Xing praised him for a couple of sentences and continued: "Master Wei really doesn't hide it, he has something to ask for below. ”

Wei Wuya's face was stunned and asked, "Hall Master Jiang, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

"That's right, I have a distant relative in your Fengtang who has always wanted to come to my side, I want to ask you if you can make it convenient?" Jiang Xing looked at him and said.

Wei Wuya waved his hand: "Oh, I thought it was nothing, this is not a matter, brother, don't you just transfer someone, this is not a matter, you can rest assured that I will definitely do it for you." ”

"Oh, thank you Brother Wei," Jiang Xing looked very excited and took Wei Wuya's hand.

"Brother, both of us have just been promoted, and we will have to go back and forth for a long time in the future, and we need to move around a lot. ”

"That's that............"

talked to Wei Wuya about the important person, Wei Wuya was also happy, just let him go and register at that time, Jiang Xing thanked him repeatedly, and the two parted at the door.

After Wei Wuya left, Jiang Xing beckoned to Duan Daya, who was standing under the tree in the distance and looking over here, and Duan Daya hurriedly trotted over when he saw him waving.

"What's wrong, what did you say?" Duan Daya leaned over and opened his mouth to ask.

Jiang Xing looked at him playfully: "You come to the Lei Hall with me in the future, mix with me, I am now the master of the Lei Hall." ”

Duan Daya's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he looked incredulous: "What? Damn, you are really good, you have been the deputy hall master for more than a year, and you are still a hall master, it is really a life that sometimes you have to have a life and don't force it at any time." ”

Jiang Xing looked at Duan Daya who was talking sourly: "Hmph, don't be sour, let's take a step at a time, the big war is coming, and the position of the hall master of the Lei Hall is not easy to do now." ”

Duan Daya also understood the seriousness of the recent situation: "Hey, what do you think is the matter with me going to Lei Tang?"

"Oh, Hall Master Xiong is no longer here, Wei Wuya is now the new Hall Master of the Wind Hall, I mentioned to him about transferring you over, and he agreed. ”

"Wei Wuya, that old pervert?"

"Well, I didn't expect him to take over from Hall Master Xiong. Just as I didn't expect Lei Tang to let me come. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, he's his, it's good to be with you now, I'm afraid that I won't be with you when I really fight. Duan Daya smiled

Said.

Jiang Xing also grinned and left. first took him to the Wind Hall to do the procedures for transferring the hall, and then the two of them went to the main hall of the Wind Hall together, that is, the place where the meeting office was held. Regarding the news of Jiang Xing's appointment of the hall master, after the meeting in the conference hall, someone changed Jiang Xing's waist card and clothing, etc.

He also sent people to report to the various halls. So when Jiang Xing came to the entrance of the hall, a few people nodded and hugged him.

Although Lei Tang was also listed as the hall of Liaoyuan Slope to participate in the battle, only about half of it went out, and now there are still about 1,000 people. Jiang Xing admitted that he was not the material to be a manager, and after carefully asking those who were originally in charge of what position, he said that they should not worry about it, just act as usual.

Then he dispatched about 800 people, according to the previous layout of the council hall, Jiang Xing and their Lei Tang were arranged to be stationed on a gentle slope about half a mile away from the mountain gate, Jiang Xing also followed the mountain patrol team at the earliest, that place was indeed a weak place, and the 800 people were arranged to prepare for war on the gentle slope.

And Duan Daya was arranged to go to the most important matter, according to the person who reported just now, there were two or three hundred people who came back from the defeat of Liaoyuan Slope. Duan Daya's goblin is just right to see if there are any spies among these hundreds of people who have taken refuge in Longhumen. All this is waiting for the news of Duan Daya.

The arrangement was almost the same, Jiang Xing hurried to the gentle slope half a mile away, carefully looked at the position, and discussed with the old people with military experience how to abide by the law more securely, and what materials were needed to prepare in time............

At this time, it was less than a day before the defeat of the Battle of Liaoyuanpo.

The raid launched by the Dragon and Tiger Gate just after midnight before wiped out Xiong Lie and the others with a touch of lightning, and of course there were also stubborn people behind them, either killed or captured, and chased and killed for nearly two hours. It was when he was chasing after the victory, and after discussing with the people of Qingfeng Village, Zhang Long decided to let the team repair temporarily.

At this time, the sky was still a little dark, and the lights were bright in the temporary big tent of Longhumen. Zhang Long sat on the main seat and looked at the Qingfeng Zhai who was sitting with his hands down: "Second master, why should we stop, I think we took advantage of the victory to pursue, and directly rushed to the Vertical Sword Sect in one breath and directly destroyed Wang Fengchu, isn't it beautiful?"

The second master of Qingfeng Village, who was sitting below, was covered with a green robe, looked at Zhang Long and replied: "Master Zhangmen doesn't know, as far as I know, the Sword Sect is built on Cumulus Mountain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention the hundred years of the Sword Sect's heritage, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the skill of the Sword Sect has been perfected by Tian, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses." In my opinion, a few people who have rebelled against them have been lured by heavy profits, and we have deliberately put back hundreds of people and let them blend in. At that time, they will have a surprise effect when we attack the mountain. ”

Zhang Long's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Hahaha, what a good plan for the second master!"

The second master of Qingfeng Village also pouted slightly: "The master of the Zhangmen Liao praised." ”

At this moment, a subordinate shouted "Report!" from outside the tent.

Zhang Long raised his head and looked outside the tent and said, "Come in." ”

I saw that the people who came in outside were dusty and unkempt, and after entering the tent, they knelt on the ground: "I have seen the leader." ”

Zhang Long looked at him and waved his hand: "Get up, what's the matter?"

The man stood up and hurriedly said, "Boss Qiyu, the soldiers and horses from the direction of Jizhou are coming towards us,"

Hearing this, Zhang Long sat up straight and opened his mouth to ask, "How many people are there in Jizhou Zhang Jing?"

The man continued: "It's Zhang Jing, more than 3,000 people, less than fifty miles away. ”

Zhang Long hurriedly looked at the second master of Qingfeng Village: "The second master, how is this good, I have heard that Zhang Jing has something to do with Wang Fengchu, but I didn't expect him to really send troops." ”

The second head of Qingfeng Zhai signaled him not to panic and said: "Don't worry about the master of the Zhang Gate, what does it matter in front of interests is really reliable?" ”

Zhang Long suddenly realized
