Chapter 305: Falling Short
At the foot of Dongli Mountain, an abandoned post station sits quietly next to the ancient road.
Suddenly, a group of uninvited guests barged in, disrupting the long-term tranquility of the inn.
"Quick, Uncle Fuhai go in to heal!"
The comers were obviously a group of chivalrous men, both men and women, most of them with bloody clothes and solemn faces, obviously having just experienced a fierce battle.
Xu heard a sound outside, and a dilapidated door in the post station was opened, and several women in white clothes and swords walked out from inside. When he saw the injured people, he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
After an orderly hectic meal, the inn was once again quiet.
Inside the house, an injured old man looked at the little old man on the other side who was obviously much more seriously injured and said, "Fourth brother, how are you?" ”
At this time, the old man was half-naked and had a strong physique. Looking head-on, a terrible wound stretched diagonally from his right chest to his left ribs was entrenched on him.
Although the weather was cold, it still couldn't stop the hot blood from spilling out, making the woman who was treating his wound cry.
He didn't care, but grinned and said, "I, it's okay, I can see the sect leader again, not to mention such a small injury, even if I lose this life, it's worth it!" ”
It was Wu Xian'er and the one she called Uncle Hai, who had planned a plan for a long time, and finally realized it today, and successfully rescued the former White Lotus Sect Master, Wu Xian'er's father-in-law, Wu Qi.
Wu Qi, who was also gray-haired, listened to the old man's words and fell silent. This friendship, until today, he has not felt so rich and pure, in the past, it was his eldest brother who was the leader of the sect who did it badly, so that the second brother was ......
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly, as long as we get to the rudder, with the prestige of the sect leader, we will definitely be able to reintegrate our forces, and then come back, kill the white thief, and avenge the third brother!"
Waiting for the wounds on his body to be bandaged, Uncle Hai immediately said, looking anxious.
Wu Qi's face ached, and he stood up in silence.
"I've just arrived, and the fourth brother is leaving, so you won't stay and have two drinks with me?"
The sudden sound in the courtyard made Uncle Hai and Wu Xian'er in the house change their faces greatly.
Then I heard the sound of seven or eight doors opening next to me.
Uncle Hai endured the pain in his body, walked to the door, and kicked the door open.
In the courtyard, there was only one person standing.
"You! How did you find this place so quickly? ”
Uncle Hai said in a cold voice.
The man smiled and said, "The fourth brother can arrange people around me, isn't the second brother allowed to make someone take care of you?" ”
Uncle Hai looked at the group of White Lotus Sect members holding swords outside the fence courtyard wall, and soon, he saw a person at the head.
"It turned out to be you~!"
Uncle Hai's voice was full of resentment, and then he looked at the person in the courtyard again: "Bah, you dog thief, Lao Tzu doesn't have an ungrateful second brother like you who has lost his conscience!" ”
The man didn't care when he was scolded, but smiled and said: "The fourth brother's temperament is still so hot, hey, isn't this a niece?" Since you suddenly disappeared three years ago, I have sent people everywhere to look for you, but I didn't expect you to be here, so I can find you. ”
"Phew, dog thief!"
Wu Xian'er's face was cold, she didn't expect the person in front of her to be so shameless.
"It's the incompetence of the subordinates, please ask the lord to punish him!"
Behind that person, Ye Chengliang, the head of the White Lotus Sect's Discipline Hall, who followed up, knelt down and pleaded guilty.
He was ordered to rob and kill Wu Xian'er back then, originally thought she was dead, but he didn't expect that she was still alive.
The man waved his hand, motioned for Ye Chengliang to get up, and then said: "Since everyone is together, I have prepared good wine and food in the sect, let's go, wouldn't it be good for everyone to go back and drink two cups together, why make the atmosphere so tense?" ”
"Don't think!"
Uncle Hai lifted his knife and whispered to Wu Xian'er: "I'll drag him with all my might later, and you take the sect leader from behind......"
seemed to hear Uncle Hai's voice, and the man smiled: "I persuade the fourth brother not to waste his efforts, I have arranged people before and after, you will definitely not be able to leave, wouldn't it be good for everyone to be kind, why do you have to force me?" The sword has no eyes......"
"Father~"
Wu Xian'er looked at Wu Qi, who came out slowly, and said anxiously with some anxiety.
"Big Brother ......"
Wu Qi raised his hand to stop the man's next words, and said lightly: "Bai Chi, you don't need to cover up with such hypocrisy, since ancient times, you have become a king and a loser, and I have nothing to say about this." ”
When Bai Chi heard this, the shame in his eyes flashed, and he was quickly replaced by indifference, and said with a smile: "Big brother understands righteousness ......"
"I only have one request!"
His words were interrupted again by Wu Qi.
"Big brother, please speak."
"Let them go, and I'll go back with you."
Bai Chi frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the eldest brother is thinking badly, if it weren't for finding the good nieces and nephews, the eldest brother thinks you can escape here?"
Now that the eldest brother has such a request, isn't the younger brother a great loss? ”
"As long as you promise to let them go, I can promise you, and at that time, I can announce my abdication in front of the other five elders in the sect, the four protectors, the twelve hall masters, the twenty-eight helmsmen and many brothers, so that you can rightfully sit on the position of the sect leader."
Uncle Hai said: "Sect Master, don't do it!" ”
Bai Chi's eyes narrowed, and he said leisurely: "I am already the sect leader now......"
"I don't want to see our brothers in the White Lotus Sect continue to kill each other like this, as long as you agree to let them go, you can integrate the power of the sect as soon as possible, become a real White Lotus Sect Master, and then, go and pursue the grand hegemony you want!
There are no threats to you. ”
Bai Chi's eyes changed for a while, the White Lotus Sect had a great cause, and it was almost established in Wu Qi's hands. Therefore, at the very beginning, Wu Qi suddenly "died strangely", and he only dared to proclaim himself as the acting sect leader and temporarily assume the position of sect leader.
That's the case, the general rudder alone is constantly questioned, and most of the rudder don't buy it directly, anyway, it is far from the emperor of Tiangao......
Until now, I don't know how much effort he has wasted, the White Lotus Sect has still not been able to become a monolith, and rumors of his rebellion and usurpation have spread in the sect. He also knew that most of these rumors were due to his fourth brother, the Third Elder of the White Lotus Sect!
"Big brother is serious?"
Bai Chi agreed in his heart. Wu Qi is right, the only people who can threaten him now are Wu Qi himself, Uncle Hai and Wu Xian'er, and the remnants of the army are just brave!
Moreover, his ambition is far more than controlling the White Lotus Sect and being the uncrowned king of the rivers and lakes. What he wants to do is the lord of the world!
"You know who I am!" Wu Qi said lightly.
Bai Chi rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you!"
Pull the carriage in. ”
Behind him, a cronies immediately pulled a carriage in.
Bai Chi said: "Big brother, please." ”
Here, Uncle Hai and Wu Xian'er looked anxious. Uncle Hai said: "Sect Master, don't do it, if you go, the foundation of the White Lotus Sect will be completely ruined......
Wu Qi looked at Uncle Hai and Wu Xian'er with soft eyes, and said, "You live well, don't get involved in these rivers and lakes disputes in the future, here, there is nothing worth remembering." ”
As he spoke, he pushed away Wu Xian'er and took his hand, step by step, slowly but firmly.
Bai Chi stretched out his hand to help Wu Qi get into the car, but he didn't mind after being thrown away, and looked up at Uncle Hai and the others: "The door of our White Lotus Sect will always be open to you, and when you are free, you are welcome to come back as a guest, hahaha......"
With the laughter of the victors, Bai Chi turned and left the ruined courtyard. Suddenly, in front of the house and behind the house, countless White Lotus Sect members withdrew, followed behind, and then disappeared completely in a few breaths.
"Dog Thief ......"
Uncle Hai cursed viciously, tearing the wound that had not yet healed, and it hurt him so much that he bared his teeth.
Seeing this, Wu Xian'er, who was crying silently, hurriedly stepped forward to help, and asked weakly: "Uncle Hai, what should I do now?" ”
Uncle Hai finally regained his composure, looked at the "remnant soldiers" who were mostly injured on the eaves and looked a little desperate, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's go, let's discuss it after returning to the city!" ”
