Chapter VII: Conspiracy

The Bloodstone Gate assassinated three high-ranking members of the White Crane Gate one after another, and also left arrogant words and threats at the scene.

After the news of this incident spread, not only did the White Crane Gate not have the same hatred for the enemy, but everyone was in danger, and they were almost scattered. Especially the high-level people inside the door are even more cowering and hiding in places they think are safe, and they can't live in fear.

A small circumstance that is not considered a catastrophe, or even a crisis, can make a sphere of influence covering several counties almost fall apart. And if any sect in the rivers and lakes encounters this situation, the result at this moment will be exactly the opposite.

Not only will they not be separated, but they will be more united and hateful.

That's the difference between a door and a faction.

The "door" in the Jianghu sect, most of the personnel in it are from the stragglers in the rivers and lakes. The higher the gift money, the stronger the martial arts of the people in the rivers and lakes hired, and the higher the possibility of having unique skills.

Although this saves the time and resources spent on cultivating talents, it also has the same disadvantages as the benefits.

For example, the cohesion inside the door is not strong.

Most of the "factions" in the Jianghu sect have a clear martial arts inheritance, through words and deeds, the profound martial arts are passed on from the master to the disciple, and the disciple is then passed on to his disciples, from generation to generation, endlessly. Each generation of disciples has grown up in the sect since childhood, and their loyalty to the sect is self-evident.

The centripetal force and cohesion of the "pie" are the strongest among the various forms of organizations in the rivers and lakes, and the centripetal force and cohesion are strong, which also brings the strength of the pie. This is still not counting the bonuses brought by the advanced martial arts inherited by the sect.

Therefore, although the number of sectarians in the rivers and lakes has always been less than 100, it has always been the most mainstream organizational form and the most powerful force in the rivers and lakes.

The Jiang family has changed from a secular family to a martial arts family for only a hundred years, the first generation of the martial arts family has just passed away, the second generation is just middle-aged, and the third generation is still growing.

Not to mention the third generation of the Jiang family, the children born in the Jianghu environment hastily transformed into the Jianghu sect before they really grew up. The Jiang family hired martial arts people with a lot of money to defect and establish Baihemen, and the manpower and force increased rapidly in a short period of time, but hidden dangers were also hidden.

The Jiang family's short period in the martial arts family made it not have enough children to dominate the White Crane Gate as a hub, so that most of the current high-level people in the sect were controlled by people outside the family.

The power in the door is on the side, although Jiang Beihe is the nominal master of the door, but in fact, there are few places where he can be the master. And this, Jiang Beihe is ignorant and unconscious.

In the period of rapid development of Baihemen, it is good to say that the demands in the door are the same, and the things that Jiang Beihe thinks of are also the things of the martial arts people with different surnames in the door. Once the development of the White Crane Gate reaches the point of saturation, or the development is blocked, this contradiction will come to the fore.

For example, at the moment, the bloody provocation of the Bloodstone Gate.

Seven high-ranking people were killed one after another, but no one in the door wanted revenge, and they didn't even have the heart to resist. After all, the last deceased hall master, Fang Tang Master, was the person inside the door who vigorously demanded a counterattack against the Bloodstone Gate, and the strongest supporter of the door master Jiang Beihe.

It is said that the day before he died, he strongly advised the owner of the gate to fight back against the provocation of the Bloodstone Gate earlier, but he was killed the next day.

Died in his own bedroom, heavily guarded.

Fang Tangjing is the master of the White Crane Gate Ring Sword Hall, with strong martial arts, and there are three teams of guards under him, who take turns to defend day and night, and are specifically responsible for the safety of the White Crane Gate. He himself is under the protection of his guards at all times.

That's it, Fang Tangjing can still die in his bedroom under the escort, and he can't help but be silent in the White Crane Gate.

On the other side, Fang Tangjing's killing finally aroused the anger of the door master Jiang Beihe, and the news of the first two victims was no longer suppressed, and it was spread out with the intention of arousing the anger of the disciples in the door, but it only ended up in the danger of one's own self.

That night, the White Crane Gate held a pledge meeting, convening all the high-level leaders in the gate, and the door master Jiang Beihe announced the decision to launch a counterattack against the Bloodstone Gate. But there is a lot of resistance, but there are very few supporters.

The hall masters who were high-spirited and eyed the world in the past did not lose their demeanor at this moment, and they still looked profound, citing various reasons to try to dispel Jiang Beihe's idea.

What's more, he even persuaded the master of the door to hand over the bloodstone of the Bloodstone Gate to avoid the disaster of the White Crane Gate. Although his words were euphemistic, they were actually alluding to Jiang Beihe's stealing the things of the Bloodstone Gate and causing disaster.

Jiang Beihe was furious about this, and scolded the "martial arts masters" who looked extremely powerful in the past, and finally this oath meeting ended hastily.

After driving all the high-level officials away, Jiang Beihe was angry in the empty lobby for half an hour, and when the anger was almost gone, his son-in-law Qu Yangrong walked into the lobby and put a cup of strong tea in front of his father-in-law. Stand still.

Looking at the capable and neat eldest son-in-law, calm and sharp, the only bit of anger left in Jiang Beihe's heart gradually dissipated. After taking the strong tea and taking a big sip, Jiang Beihe sighed: "Yang Rong, I, the master of the sect, am I not doing well!"

You finally got it.

Qu Yangrong suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, maintained the surface of the waves, and lowered his head and replied: "Lord Yue's master is very good, and the bad ones are the hall masters." ”

"Alas, even you don't tell the truth...... Jiang Beihe waved his hand, signaling that Qu Yangrong could go out.

But when Qu Yangrong bowed and retreated to the door, Jiang Beihe raised his hand, and a seal flew out, and Qu Yangrong raised his hand to catch it.

Qu Yangrong raised his head and saw his father-in-law waving his hand tiredly: "I'm tired, these few days of rest, Yangrong, you can take the position of the master of the door." ”

"Yes, I will live up to my father-in-law's expectations!"

Qu Yangrong bowed his head and said yes, retreated and bowed out of the room, straightened up after closing the door, looked up at the night sky covered by thick clouds and moon, and suddenly felt very happy in his heart.

After exiting the courtyard where his father-in-law was, at the junction of light and darkness, the capable man suddenly said, "Lichun!"

A graceful young woman walked out of the darkness where she was hiding, looking at her husband, her charming eyes flashed: "Rongjun~"

"Alright. Qu Yangrong walked over and hugged the young woman's waist, raised the seal in his hand, and showed a triumphant smile on his face, "The White Crane Gate is ours." ”

"Not exactly. The young woman happily took the seal, looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and suddenly grabbed the seal with her hand, "And my sister, she has been getting more and more incomprehensible recently." ”

Speaking of this, the young woman suddenly raised her hand and touched her husband's shoulder, and smiled softly in her husband's ear: "Do you want to ......?"

"I don't want to!"

The young woman was overjoyed by her husband's decision, and after giggling for a long time, she finally removed another right hand, which seemed to be soft against her husband's chest.
