Qi Ning was thinking in his heart, although the eight gangs and sixteen factions were intimidated by the power of the Shenhou Mansion and did not dare to disobey the Iron and Blood Script, and all of them sent people to gather in Xichuan, but the scene immediately highlighted an Achilles heel of this operation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jianghu gangs, entanglements of interests, grievances and grudges, there are more or less hostility to each other, this time there are thousands of people who came to attack the Black Lotus Sect of Qianwu Peak, on the surface it looks huge, but it is also full of contradictions inside, and it is by no means as majestic as it seems on the surface.

The vendetta between the Five Poison Palace and the Aquila Castle is just the tip of the iceberg, and no one can say how many grudges there are among these thousands of people.

Although the Shenhou Mansion has strict regulations, it is difficult for Qi Ning to imagine that these people will really obey the arrangements of the Shenhou Mansion honestly.

Qianwu Peak is located in the west, it is the nest of the Black Lotus Sect, and the mountains and rivers here, the Black Lotus Sect is naturally well aware.

The so-called time and place are favorable, and before the two sides have yet to fight, the Black Lotus Sect has already occupied the right time and place.

In this situation, if there is an internal dispute between the eight gangs and sixteen factions, if you want to successfully capture Qianwu Peak, I am afraid that it will not be as easy as imagined.

In addition, Qi Ningxiang is the most Ximen Wuxian thoughts.

Qi Ning knew very well in his heart that the epidemic poison in the capital was spreading, and many signs showed that although the Golden Silkworm Gu poison did come from Qiu Qianyi, the first poison king of Bashu, but the one who really planned the epidemic poison in the capital probably really had nothing to do with the Black Lotus Sect.

But just taking this opportunity, many forces want to kill the Black Lotus Sect.

Needless to say, King Huainan didn't expect that what Qi Ning didn't expect at the beginning was that the West Gate of the Shenhou Mansion seemed to be going to put the Black Lotus Sect to death.

With Ximen's traceless insight, he would never fail to see the strangeness of the epidemic poison in the capital, and he had even already realized that it had no direct relationship with the Black Lotus Sect.

But later, Ximen Wuxian obviously wanted to confirm the crime of the Black Lotus Sect, and even set a trap in the Shenhou Mansion to lure Swing Yi into the trap, and the ultimate goal was to exterminate the Black Lotus Sect this time.

Where Simon Without a Trace was planning to achieve this goal, it was difficult for Qi Ning to guess.

Qi Ning actually didn't have much interest in the grievances and grievances of the Black Lotus Sect in his heart, he had seen with his own eyes that one of the four envoys of the Black Lotus was a poisonous envoy, and he was vicious, so he didn't have much good impression of the Black Lotus Sect, and the Black Lotus Sect was alive or dead, and Qi Ning himself didn't care.

The little emperor asked him to participate in this matter, obviously vaguely aware of something, Qi Ning thought to himself that since the emperor had a will, he just took the opportunity to get out of Chengdu.

Xichuan Assassin Shi Wei Shutong and Li Hongxin, the king of Shu, must fight to the death next, the situation in Chengdu is extremely grim, Qi Ning of course hopes to continue to stay in Chengdu and get involved, and it is of course the best choice to stay out of the matter and watch from the sidelines.

Ximen Zhanying only saw Qi Ning thinking along the way, but naturally he didn't know what Qi Ning was thinking about.

When the day was approaching dusk, he saw a mist in the sky in the distance, ethereal clouds, Xuanyuan Po slowed down his horse's speed, and turned around and said: "Master Hou, that is the Thousand Mist Peak over there." ”

Qi Ning looked up, and suddenly understood why this place was called Thousand Fog Peak.

The clouds and mist surround the top of the mountains, the undulating mountains and mountains are like a huge curtain across the sky, although the twilight Cangshan is cloudy and misty from afar, but at this moment it is obviously far away from the Thousand Fog Peak, just see the outline of the rolling mountains, among which many peaks and peaks are hidden like sharp swords towering, the sword points to the sky, and it is surrounded by mist and hidden in it.

"Master Hou, on the mountain peak over there, there are clouds and mist all year round, and it seems that it will not dissipate for thousands of years, so it is called Thousand Mist Peak." Xuanyuan Po was still very respectful of Qi Ning in terms of face: "So far, we still don't know the specific topography of Qianwu Peak, but we have a general understanding of the surrounding environment. ”

Qi Ning said: "Knowing oneself and knowing the other, Fang will not be defeated in a hundred battles, Captain Xuanyuan, we can't understand the terrain of Qianwu Peak, how can we attack here?" ”

Xuanyuan Po said with a smile: "Master Hou, rest assured, this time people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes have gathered here, and there are many people, and many of them are capable people. It was reported a while ago that the Five Elements Gate had sent people to dive into the mountains to explore the terrain, and the Five Elements Gate was the best at breaking the terrain, and it was still able to grasp some of the situation. After a pause, "As far as we know, the main altar of the Black Lotus Sect is located on the Fog Hidden Peak, as long as it can attack the Fog Hidden Peak, it will be done." ”

Qi Ning saw that there was a lot of fog in the distance, and it was really difficult to judge which place was the Fog Hidden Peak, and asked, "Captain Xuanyuan, how many members of this Black Lotus Sect are there?" ”

Xuanyuan shook his head and said: "The specific number of people is not yet known, but the number of people must be much less than ours, and in terms of numbers, we have an absolute advantage." ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that it seemed that up to now, the Shenhou Mansion obviously knew very little about the Black Lotus Sect.

Knowing that the other side is invincible, the Shenhou Mansion can't do this, on the other hand, the Black Lotus Sect is afraid that he knows the situation on the side of the eight gangs and sixteen factions.

Could it be that the Shenhou Mansion just relied on the strength of the crowd and let it go?

Although he had already seen the outline of Qianwu Ridge from a distance at dusk, when he arrived at the foot of Qianwu Ridge, it was already dark, and there was still some distance, Qi Ning saw that the wilderness below the mountain was full of bonfires, and many camp tents had been erected.

Between the bonfires, there are people shining, some people are drinking and singing, some people are laughing roughly, and some people are competing in martial arts.

I saw that the camp was scattered, which was completely different from the neat and orderly barracks, and it seemed extremely casual.

The camp, however, was full of flags, and under the night wind, many flags fluttered in the wind, hunting sounded, and these flags were of all kinds and shapes.

Qi Ning only looked at a few flags, and knew that these flags were the flags of various gangs, and at first glance, there were forty or fifty flags in the camp.

This time, the Shenhou Mansion issued an iron-blooded text, and the eight gangs and sixteen factions were only representatives of the rivers and lakes, and the other large and small gangs of various sects and factions were also gathered here.

From the height of the flag, in fact, we can also see the status of each sect in the rivers and lakes.

The flag in the center is not only the highest flagpole, but also the largest, and among the flags, there is a sense of standing out from the crowd.

Qi Ning could see clearly by the light of the bonfire, and on the banner, the words "Golden Sword League" were written, and the handwriting was very heroic.

When Xuanyuan Po rode to the edge of the camp, several people had already come over with weapons in their hands, and said sharply: "Who is it?" ”

Xuanyuan Po had already shown his token, and said in a deep voice: "Xuanyuan Po of the Shenhou Mansion!" ”

Those people immediately put away their weapons and arched their hands: "I've seen Captain Xuanyuan." ”

Xuanyuan Po bowed slightly, turned over and dismounted, and glanced back at Qi Ning, Qi Ning knew what he meant, and knew that once he entered the camp, it would be difficult to show his identity as Hou Ye again, and Xuanyuan Po would no longer be able to call himself Hou Ye.

A few people entered the camp, and as soon as the officials of the Shenhou Mansion appeared, everyone around them was quiet, and where Xuanyuan Po and a few people passed, everyone bowed their hands.

Qi Ning saw that all the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes were respectful, and secretly thought in his heart, this Shenhou Mansion is really majestic, and it is no wonder that so many people want to become officials of the Shenhou Mansion.

In the middle of the camp, under the banner of the Golden Sword League, there is a huge camp tent, which is very exquisite.

Although all the gangs came on the orders of the Shenhou Mansion this time, they also showed their prestige in private, showing their status in various ways.

"The Golden Sword Alliance is one of the eight gangs and sixteen factions." Xuanyuan Po knew that Qi Ning knew very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and explained: "The Golden Sword League has existed in the rivers and lakes for more than 70 years, compared to many gangs in the rivers and lakes, the background is much weaker, it was built by Zhuge Cangxiong, Zhuge Cangxiong's set of ten thousand killing swordsmanship was invincible in the rivers and lakes, first created the Golden Sword Gate, known as the Golden Sword Gate There are no swordsmen outside the Golden Sword Gate, forcing the world to use swords to abandon the sword, otherwise they will be thrown into the Golden Sword Gate, except for these two roads, it can only be the sword destroys and kills." ”

"There are no swordsmen outside the Golden Sword Gate?" Ximen Zhan Sakura couldn't help but sneer: "It's really a big breath." ”

"The tone is indeed not small, but Zhuge Cangxiong's swordsmanship back then was really good." Xuanyuan said with a smile: "Naturally, you have all heard of the top ten famous swords, the golden phoenix sword in Zhuge Cangxiong's hand was later rated as one of the top ten famous swords, ranking seventh. ”

Qi Ning's heart statue turned out that the Golden Sword Gate also had a top ten famous sword.

"Ranked seventh?" Ximen Zhan Sakura said: "That's not great. ”

Xuanyuan Po shook his head and said, "Little junior sister, you can't say that. Zhuge Cangxiong held the Golden Phoenix Sword more than 70 years ago, with a set of 10,000 killing swordsmanship across the rivers and lakes, and the top ten famous swords were only assessed fifty years ago, when Zhuge Cangxiong had passed away, and the Golden Phoenix Sword was passed on to his eldest son Zhuge Tianying. Compared with Zhuge Cangxiong, Zhuge Tianying's swordsmanship cultivation has been greatly discounted, much weaker, if Zhuge Cangxiong is still alive when the sword is evaluated, even if the Golden Phoenix Sword can't enter the top three, it is enough to enter the top five. In Zhuge Tianying's hands, the Golden Phoenix Sword can still rank seventh, which is already quite remarkable. ”

Ximen Zhan Ying nodded his head slightly and asked, "Senior brother, didn't you say that Zhuge Cangxiong founded the Golden Sword Gate, why is it called the Golden Sword Alliance now?" ”

"Zhuge Cangxiong did create the Golden Sword Gate, but he crisscrossed the rivers and lakes back then, coercing many sword sects to either abandon the sword or fall under the Golden Sword Gate, a bloody storm, and many sword sects were destroyed by the Golden Sword Gate." Xuanyuan Po is worthy of being the chief disciple of the Shenhou Mansion, and he knows everything about the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes: "Zhuge Cangxiong's Golden Sword Gate is majestic in the rivers and lakes, and many sword sects can only succumb to it in order to survive, but what the people in the rivers and lakes want is a face, so some people propose to change the Golden Sword Gate to the Golden Sword Alliance, and other sword sects will be under the Golden Sword Alliance, just like if Zhuge Cangxiong is the leader of the Sword Sect." Zhuge Cangxiong has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is getting older, so he naturally understands that it is not a good thing for the Golden Sword Sect to have too deep a feud, so he formed the Golden Sword Alliance with the eleven sword factions. ”

Qi Ning was immediately interested in these past events in the rivers and lakes, and said with a smile: "These sword factions have been allied for decades, and they are also solid. ”

Xuanyuan said: "Zhuge Tianying's swordsmanship is not comparable to his father, but his wrist is much smarter, after years of digestion, the sword factions that joined the Golden Sword Alliance have actually been completely integrated into the Golden Sword League, and are completely controlled by the Zhuge clan, and now the Golden Sword Alliance Lord Zhuge Changting is better than his father in swordsmanship, and his wrist is not weak, which can be described as both civil and military, so when he signed the Iron Blood Document, the Golden Sword League became one of the eight gangs and sixteen factions, and now the sphere of influence covers the Jingbei area, which cannot be underestimated. After a pause, he said: "Eight gangs and sixteen factions, those are not ordinary people. ”
