Chapter 148: Moon Villa
Although Li Rong did not make any contribution in the battle to kill Yin Wuxian, it was also a great achievement to find Shangqing Zhu, so he came to Sima Chengzhen with a wicked smile.
"Brother Sima, I found the Shangqing Pearl, how can I get a Poria Pill back?" Li Rong said to Sima Chengzhen.
"The effect of your Peiyuan Pill is not under the Poria Pill, don't worry about me." Sima Chengzhen said.
Sima Chengzhen has traveled extensively, and has visited Li Hui several times, and the relationship is quite good.
Everyone is quite satisfied that they have each obtained a Poria pill, not to mention that there is a follow-up industry to share.
The White Lotus Society, where Wang Xu and Liu Xuan are located, will get 30% of the land shops in the Jiangbei of Tianwuzong, a huge amount, and the imperial court will get 50% of them, which will be transported back to Luoyang as military funds to support the ongoing war. The remaining two percent were divided by Li Yuanfang, Sima Chengzhen and other cadres.
Personally, Sima Chengzhen's return to Shangqingzhu is indeed an unexpected joy.
"Your sword skills are good, you can easily slash Yin Jue!" Lu Ying stepped forward and said to Li Rong.
Yin Jue is also quite prestigious in Jiangnan, killing people is not counted, one of the few six-grade masters, Lu Ying has long wanted to challenge him, but has never found a suitable opportunity.
"Lu Ying!" Li Rong said, "It's a pity that it's late today, I will definitely go to the mansion another day to learn Your Excellency's Crane Shadow Sword Technique, I have seen the Seven Killings of the Heavenly Wolf Jiang Cheng, I hope you don't let me down." ”
"Okay, these **** are waiting for the big driver in Banyue Villa." Lu Ying raised her eyebrows and said.
Wang Kun looked at Li Rong with an iron face, and anger rose in his heart, tonight he did not have any upper hand over Zhang Zichen, far from being able to compare with Li Rong and Lu Ying, seeing Lu Ying and Li Rong talking, he was unbearably jealous.
"Tiger father and dog," Wang Xu sighed in his heart, shaking his head slightly.
Wang Kun did not put his mind on improving his martial arts cultivation, but only thought about male and female ****, how could he be recognized by the arrogant Lu Ying.
"Nephew Li Xian, I'll be waiting for you at the villa." Wang Xu said to Li Rong with a smile.
"The little nephew must be here." Li Rong arched his hand and said.
Compared with Wang Xu, Wang Kun's strength and swordsmanship are not worth mentioning at all, and he is far from the essence of the "Heavenly Martial Sword", but it is tangible and godless.
After sending Wang Xu and his entourage away and saying goodbye to Di Renjie, when Li Rong returned to his residence, it was already dawn, dragging his tired body, taking off his shoes and socks, and sitting cross-legged on the couch to breathe and recover his true qi.
Fighting to the death with two masters of the same level in a row is amazing, even if Li Rong boasts that he has strong physical strength and deep true qi, he can't withstand consumption, and his body is tired to the extreme.
Jiang Baiqing took Zhang Zichen, Zhu Huizhen and Elder Hidden Bat back to the Tianwu Sect Branch.
"Holy Lord," Elder Hidden Bat was still masked, "what should my subordinates do next?" ”
"Now that the situation is unfavorable to us, you can go first, wait for the opportunity and then try to do it later." Jiang Baiqing said.
Elder Hidden Bat flickered and disappeared into the shadows.
Jiang Cheng came out of the quiet room when he heard the news and met Jiang Baiqing and his party.
"How's the Holy Lord doing?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Seeing Zhang Zichen, Zhu Huizhen and the others were unharmed, and said in surprise.
"Yin Wuxian and the masters of the Heavenly Corpse Sect have fallen into the Governor's Mansion," Jiang Baiqing sighed, his heart was also bleeding, the Shangqing Bead on Yin Wuxian's body alone made his heart ache, not to mention the loss of allies like the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Jiang Cheng frowned when he heard this, and fell into deep thought.
"Don't think about it too much, this time Wu Zetian and Wang Xu and other families have joined forces to break up our alliance with the Heavenly Corpse Sect and weaken the strength of our sect," Jiang Baiqing said.
"The Heavenly Corpse Sect has a bad reputation, and it has affected my sect a lot, so it is just right to get rid of the notoriety." Jiang Cheng said.
Jiang Cheng's heart was simple, and he had long been dissatisfied with the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
"What's the use of reputation, forget it tomorrow I will go back to Jiankang and sweep away the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, you stay in Jiangbei to preside over the retreat, and I will ask Xin Ziyuan to assist you in dealing with the property in the sect." As a grandmaster, Jiang Baiqing is not a lot of decisive killings, and he is no stranger to failures and setbacks.
Tianwu Sect has a lot of industries, and over the years it has been forging ahead in Huainan Province, expanding rapidly, I don't know how much wealth it has accumulated, Jiang Baiqing sent Jiang Cheng to deal with this matter, which is also to value and train him.
"Holy Lord!" Jiang Cheng said with some puzzlement.
"Go ahead and do it!" Jiang Baiqing said.
In the next few days, the tense situation seemed to calm down, the Heavenly Witch Sect was busy selling off its properties, and the White Lotus Society privately took over the original Heavenly Witch Sect's sphere of influence, and occasionally there were some minor conflicts, which quickly subsided.
There is a large gang in Yangzhou City, Tengjiao Society, and the leader of the club is "Angry Jiao" Meng Shenshuang. Tengjiao Society is a tyrant in Yangzhou, monopolizing the handling of Yangzhou City wharves, as well as several casinos and green buildings.
Meng Shenshuang came to the mansion of Wang Naxiang, the general of Pingkou, late at night.
The general of Pingkou, Wang Naxiang, was originally a general during Xu Jingye's rebellion, and Xu Jingye was defeated and fled to Hailing, intending to go to sea to Goryeo. Wang Naxiang led the army to rebel, killed Xu Jingye, Xu Jingyou, Luo Bin Wang, surrendered to the imperial court, and thus won the title of the second rank of the general Pingkou, stationed in Yangzhou, commanding the Yangzhou Naval Division.
"General, in the past few days, the Heavenly Witch Sect has been selling its properties, and many of them have been taken over by the White Lotus Society, I don't know what the general commands." Meng Shenshuang said respectfully to Wang Naxiang, who was sitting on the brocade couch.
If Liu Xuan, who had fought with Elder Hidden Bat, was here, he would definitely be able to see that Elder Hidden Bat was the Great General Wang Naxiang. If this news spreads, it will definitely provoke a commotion among the people, Wang Naxiang is in charge of the Yangzhou Navy, but he is one of the most powerful giants in Huainan Province.
Of course, there are not many people who know the identity of Wang Naxiang, and Tengjiao Society is a gang that Wang Naxiang has single-handedly raised, and Meng Shenshuang, the head of the club, does not know the true identity of Wang Naxiang.
Wang Naxiang would not tell Meng Shenshuang the truth of the matter, and said in a deep voice: "Tianwu Sect was defeated by the White Lotus Society, and the two sides reached an agreement, the former withdrew from Jiangbei and the White Lotus Society took over its industry, but the Tianwu Sect has many industries, and it is not easy for the White Lotus Society to swallow it in one bite, you go to see Xin Ziyuan, the owner of the Yangzhou branch of the Tianwu Sect, and take some to the Tengjiao Society, especially to occupy the territory of those gangs." ”
"I'll do it now," Meng Shenshuang said happily.
Meng Shenshuang has good skills, likes to fight and kill, and is not good at business, he is bent on integrating the gang forces in Yangzhou and becoming an underground tyrant in Yangzhou City.
"Jiang Bai has no ambitions, and he retreats when he sees difficulties, so he is not worried." After Wang Naxiang sent Meng Shenshuang away, he sat on the couch alone, drank a glass of scarlet wine, and sighed in a low voice.
At that time, according to Jiang Baiqing's arrangement, he threw himself into the rebellion under Xu Jingye, intending to fight for fame, who knew that Xu Jingye was defeated in a hurry, and Wang Naxiang had to turn his face and kill people, so as to get today's status, in Huainan Province, it is also under one person, above ten million people, and it will want to succumb to Jiang Baiqing.
Wang Naxiang has been in a high position for a long time, and he has different intentions, and it is inevitable that he wants to fight with Jiang Baiqing.
Huainan Province has a vast territory, a prosperous economy, and its proximity to the Central Plains, which is only a stone's throw away from Luoyang, and Wang Naxiang will not give up his efforts to control Huainan Province.
After resting for a few days, Li Rong cleaned up and went to the Moon Villa where Wang Xu lived.
Banyue Villa is on top of Shugang, not far from Luocheng, and it took Li Rong less than a quarter of an hour to come to the gate of the villa.
The villa is built by the mountain, the water is walked, the path is paved with bluestone, the pavilion between the turns, the plank road is connected, so that people have the scenery changes, the atmosphere is thousands of senses, it can be seen that the ingenuity of the designer.
The guards guarding the door were dressed simply, their faces were capable, and their manners were courteous, thinking that they were trained for a long time, and when they saw the greeting post handed by Li Rong, they hurriedly took it and sent someone to the village to report.
After a while, the escort who returned came back, leading the way in front and answering Li Rong's questions diligently, down and down, not like an ordinary domestic servant, with the demeanor of a big family.
Li Rong walked half a cup of tea before coming to the main hall, and Wang Kun and Wang Ke stood in front of the door to greet the guests.
"Brother Kun is okay?" Li Rong smiled.
"My father is waiting in the lobby, Brother Li, please come with me." Wang Kun could still maintain his demeanor and stretched out his hand to ask Li Rong to move forward.
Li Rong did not refuse, and walked into the hall.
Wang Xu, Liu Xuan, and Lu Ying are all in the hall, Wang Xu is sitting in the middle of the hall, facing the door, Liu Xuan and Lu Ying are lined up on the left and right, sitting behind the bookcase.
"Li Rong, a junior of the last school, has seen Mr. Wang." Li Rong entered the hall and bowed down.
"The virtuous nephew is very polite," Wang Xu said with a smile, "Sit down, it's been a long time since I've seen a junior talent like a virtuous nephew." ”
Li Rong Shiran sat down and sat next to Liu Xuan.
"Back then, I sat down with your father and talked about it, and I was deeply impressed by his ability to fully grasp the essence of the Xuanyin Wonderful Sword, and before I knew it, more than ten years had passed." Wang Xu said.
At the beginning, Li Hui was not famous, but a child of a family like Wang Xu was well-informed, how could he not know. Wang Xu went to the door and challenged Li Hui. The two met friends with swords, talked about martial arts, and both respected their respective kendo cultivation realms, although they didn't get along for much time, they became rare bosom friends.
"My father also mentioned that Mr. Wang's swordsmanship is superb, and he is unique in the world." Li Rong said.
"It's a little worse than your father." Wang Xu waved his hand.
Li Hui's martial arts talent has won Wang Xu's approval, and he is indeed slightly stronger than Wang Xu himself, and he has the qualifications of a nine-rank great master, but his cultivation is not good, and he can't go to the next level.
