Chapter 13: Descending the Mountain

Xu Heng's trip to Baihemen was hasty. [Latest chapter reading.]

I went up the mountain in the morning and went down before noon. I didn't even eat a lunch in the White Crane Gate. It's not that Qu Yangrong doesn't want to stay, but Xu Heng doesn't want to stay. Not to mention Pu Feng's disappearance, even the suspicions that Xu Heng felt on top of Wuhua Mountain made him unable to stay.

It is rare to see a place that can make Xu Heng feel like this. But whenever it appears, it is a precursor to something terrible.

After going down Wuhua Mountain, looking north and walking two or three miles, there is a town called Pingdong.

The town is not small, and it is not much better than the small city on the border of the south of the Yangtze River. Because it is located at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, it has been prosperous in business and business for many years, and it is very lively. There are several inns in the town, Xu Heng and the others found a relatively large inn, opened a small courtyard and lived in it.

Lunch was eaten in the lobby of the inn, and Xu Heng did not relax when eating, always paying attention to the chatter of the people around him, and he knew a lot of news during the meal. Most of them are about Hakuzurumon.

One of the hottest is the thirteen traitors who were recently executed by Baihemen.

While most people lamented the lax management of Baihemen, which led to seven huge greed and six traitors, they also lamented that the owner of Baihemen was fortunate to have the help of Qu Yangrong, a pillar son-in-law, otherwise, Baihemen would collapse sooner or later.

Xu Heng cared about another thing: six traitors who colluded with the Bloodstone Gate?

Failed to assassinate important people in Baihemen, and tried in vain to assassinate the master?

The Bloodstone Gate is a well-known **** force in Julu County. Like other **** forces, they are also unprofitable. It is impossible to be idle and have nothing to do to attack the White Crane Gate.

In addition to the normal purchase of murder, the special rule of the Bloodstone Gate is that one bloodstone is assassinated at a time.

Whoever you are, as long as you have Bloodstone in your hand, you will receive a free assassination of the Bloodstone Gate. As long as the Bloodstone is given to the Bloodstone Gate after the assassination is over, it will be considered a clear fortune.

The origin of the bloodstone is not known, only known to be a blood-red crystal, its material is not stone or iron, it is extremely hard, the candle is bright, and the sun is transparent. It seems that there is no other use than handing it over to the Bloodstone Gate in exchange for an assassination commission.

The assassination of the Bloodstone Gate has always been a sure thing.

But this time, the assassination of the Bloodstone Gate failed, and the thirty-four killers were captured alive, and the Bloodstone naturally couldn't be taken back, so why did you still entangle the White Crane Gate?

Although it is a **** force, this kind of thing that violates the morality of the rivers and lakes is also the way to self-destruction.

There must be something wrong with this!

Either the Bloodstone Gate recklessly used means for the sake of the Bloodstone, or the Bloodstone Gate did something to the White Crane Gate.

There must be one or the other.

"Looks like we're going to have to find a chance to go around the Bloodstone Gate. Xu Heng rubbed the bloodstone in the bag and thought silently.

In addition to dealing with traitors in the White Crane Gate, the matter is the injury and retirement of the master Jiang Beihe, and the sudden rise of Qu Yangrong.

actually rebelled against the six traitors of the White Crane Gate, in addition to showing that the Bloodstone Gate had great intentions for the White Crane Gate, the injury of the owner of the Gate, Jiang Beihe, was also very interesting. There is no other reason, the main reason is that the injury is too coincidental. Seven corrupt officials and six traitors came out on the same day, the forces of Baihemen suffered heavy losses, the owner of the gate was injured, and the eldest son-in-law of the owner, Qu Yangrong, was in danger and was authorized to reorganize Baihemen.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like Jiang Beihe is building momentum for his retreat, or this is a situation that Qu Yangrong has designed a long time ago, ready to take the opportunity to seize the power of Baihemen. But no matter how you look at it, after the change of Baihemen, the jurisdiction of Baihemen will also change.

Many people began to take precautions and take care of the relationship between the upper and lower levels, eager to know the intentions of the new ruler of the White Crane Gate.

Unfortunately, very little is known.

The only impact of this local small sect change on Xu Heng was that it brought some twists and turns to the plan to find Pu Feng.

But it doesn't get in the way.

Pu Feng seems to be dull and upright, but from the depths, he is not a stupid person.

You must know that he is holding a bladeless heavy sword, the bladeless sword is very skillful, and the sword master is equipped with a sword, of course, he will not be stupid. Pu Feng's person Xu Heng understands that he is completely wise and foolish, in his eyes, those rules and regulations are clear, and the reason why he shows it is a little dull.

One is because I don't care, and the other is because I can directly grasp the essence of things.

Just like when he followed Jianchen Xu Heng into Wanjian Villa, the reason why he didn't have much communication with Jianchen and Xu Heng was that he saw that the two of them didn't care much about that, if their nature was not good or they were not pragmatic, they would look down on them;

Therefore, with Pu Feng's different shrewdness, Xu Heng was not afraid that he would be in danger.

It's just that the appearance of the Bloodstone Gate and the White Crane Gate made him a little uneasy, especially since it was also mixed with Miss Jiang Er.

Jiang Liqing's matter, Xu Heng knew about it through Jianchen's letter.

In ordinary matters, Xu Heng believes that he naturally has no problem. But when it comes to "love", it's not easy to say.

is as decisive as Xu Heng, and in the face of some "love matters", he has to weigh and weigh them.

If Su Su is in distress and the country is in trouble, such a situation where the family and the country cannot have both, if Xu Heng is to choose, he will hesitate.

As the saying goes: Heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass.

And in fact, even if you are not a hero, you are sad to pass the beauty pass.

After lunch, there was no relevant news, Xu Heng called Xiao Er and asked about the cost of the meal, but was told that the meal money for this table had been paid by others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the price of your table has already been paid, and you don't need to settle it again. The young Xiao Er looked respectful and nodded.

"Oh," Xu Heng frowned, and suddenly thought of Qu Yangrong's smile, "It's Baihemen?"

"Ouch, you guessed so accurately!" Xiao Er gave Xu Heng a thumbs up and smiled even more happily, "It is indeed ordered by the master who came down from the mountain, saying that all the expenses of the few of you in our inn in the future will be covered by the White Crane Gate." ”

Xiao Er pointed to the mountain, smiling very flatteringly, looking at Xu Heng and the others as kindly as if he had seen his own uncle.

"Okay, Baihemen is so kind, Xu is better than respectful. Xu Heng nodded, glanced at the entire lobby of the inn, and turned back to Xiao'er, "I don't know what Baihemen said when he came to the uncle?"

"Ouch!"

As soon as Xiao Er wanted to praise, he was blocked by Xu Heng's gaze, gave up his rhetoric, and said directly: "The uncle from the mountain really said, if you ask, 'What else do you have to say', let the little one give you a word." ”

"What?!"

"Don't hand over the second miss. ”

Don't hand over the second miss?

Xu Heng's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something: "If I hadn't asked you if there was anything else to say, what did that person say?"

"It's also a sentence," Xiao Er learned to be obedient this time, and didn't take the opportunity to pat the horse, and answered simply and neatly, but stopped at the critical moment, "But the little one can't say!"
