Chapter 70: Words and Heaven
Nian Xiaotang is in a hurry.
He kept apologizing in his heart at the moment, facing his comrades in the wind and snow, although he had not yet reached the battlefield, he had begun to deeply repent of his mistakes. He didn't know how many other martial artists would be killed or injured by his tardiness, but Nian Xiaotang, who always thought that he was constantly making mistakes, first thought of apologizing first.
There is a saying in the rivers and lakes that a hundred Iron Lion Sect elites can block the army of 10,000 empires. This statement describes the Iron Lion Sect's strong range of lion roar skills. Naturally, it is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that the performance of the Iron Lion Sect in the melee is much stronger than that of other sects. In fact, the Iron Lion Sect actually didn't start much later than other sects.
Originally, the Iron Lion Sect was supposed to be a very powerful line of defense in the Imperial Warriors' combat power, but the Iron Lion Sect came very late.
The people of the Iron Lion Sect were all dispatched, hundreds of disciples of the Iron Lion Sect, plus all the master elders of the Iron Lion Sect and the young master Nian Xiaotang who had never shown his face on the rivers and lakes, this combat power may not be able to defeat 10,000 people, but with the characteristics of the Shishan Tsunami Gong, the Iron Lion Sect will inevitably make any army in the Tieli Kingdom suffer a heavy blow.
But the world is unpredictable, and on the way to the battlefield, the Iron Lion Sect was attacked by another force. It's always possible to fight at any time. But when it happens in war, it will inevitably make people speculate.
Nearly a thousand thugs were dressed in costumes printed with money darts to ambush the Iron Lion Sect, and the realm of the leader was not much higher than that of the elders of the Iron Lion Sect, and the peak realm of the Eight Leaves seriously injured many elites of the Iron Lion Sect with a terrifying golden cone. Nian Xiaotang and the Iron Lion Sect elders used powerful means to fight back, but the leading secret weapon master was rescued by a mysterious swordsman dressed as a beggar. The swordsman used the kung fu of the Xuanji Sword School, but it was different from the ordinary Tianxuan Nine Swords, and his moves tended to be fierce. The three elders of the Iron Lion Sect were killed by this man with a single sword.
Under the influence of Tianji Pavilion, the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce.
Although Nian Xiaotang and the others didn't know about Tianji Pavilion, they also recognized that this was a new force that was thriving in the rivers and lakes, and the pavilion owner Gu Sanqiu had the financial resources that were almost rivaled by the country. Although the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce does not have many masters, its power can only be regarded as second-class compared to the nine major factions, but its scale is far from being comparable to that of the nine major factions.
In the battle with the Iron Lion Sect, the Iron Lion Sect won in the end, but it also paid a lot of price. Three elders died, and more than 100 of the more than 400 elite disciples were killed or wounded. The Iron Lion Sect's combat power is still there, but it has been delayed for a lot of time. Although Nian Xiaotang didn't have the bearing that a sect leader should have, the Iron Lion Sect was attacked by the God of Wealth Pavilion, which had no conflict of interest, and he also felt strange about it.
The young sect leader had a vague bad premonition, and that uneasiness did not fall here, but in the rivers and lakes after the war. Perhaps the balance of the nine major factions for many years will be broken. Of course, he also felt that he might just be overthinking.
When Xiao Tang rushed to the battlefield in the Northern Regions with the Iron Lion Sect members, the war was nearing its end. The final showdown is going on on both battlefields.
Although the Iron Lion Sect came late, it was not absent after all. When he saw the wind and snow, Nian Xiaotang also felt a strong fluctuation of qi from the snow field, as well as a more powerful Buddhist aura.
In the end, Nian Xiaotang chose to go to Hades Arm.
……
Frost River Castle.
Wenxue Lou is the largest restaurant in Shuangchuan City. In the cold and snowy land, in such a restaurant, warming a pot of wine next to the charcoal fire is a favorite thing for many Jianghu people and merchants in Shuangchuan City.
And the owner of Wenxue Mansion is a man surnamed Xiao in his thirties, he is dressed in a robe, and he really doesn't look like a shopkeeper. But many people here call him the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was drinking, looking pleasant. Among the people who drank with him were a handsome white-haired young man, a stocky middle-aged businessman, and a beggar.
This combination is very peculiar, but fortunately, there are no guests in the Xue Building.
The beggar stinks, the merchant pinched his nose, but the white-haired boy didn't notice it, he was holding a pill in his hand, and his expression was full of obsession. They drank quietly, waiting for people to talk, waiting for the shopkeeper. Because although they are not the men of this inn, they are the most capable subordinates of the shopkeeper.
They don't just run an inn, whether it's the Snow Tower, or the Supreme Pavilion, there are inns all over the world. There are many names, but they all belong to one organization.
Tianji Pavilion.
At this moment, in the Xue Building, the shopkeeper and the master of the Tianji Pavilion - Xiao Qianye, and the blue jade Nie Wuxian in the Nine Jades of the Heavenly Machine, the green jade Mizang and the topaz Gu Sanqiu are cooking wine.
Xiao Qianye said: "You say, there is a destiny in this world? ”
Gu Sanqiu pulled his mustache and said with a smile: "The destiny that is not known is that there is no destiny." ”
Lao Gu's words meant a bit of meaning. But when the mechanism is exhausted, but it is found that it cannot be made up after all, it will still sigh the destiny of heaven, and the Tieli people are about to be defeated. Xiao Qianye's words were somewhat sorry for the Tieli people, but his expression and tone seemed very calm.
"They have nothing to do with us, although you asked me to help Tie Li, but it is nothing more than to reduce the combat power of the empire, in fact, although you hope that the Tie Li people can win and make the world more chaotic, but think about it, even if the Tieli people lose, you have also found better prey, this deal, you will always make money." Gu Sanqiu said.
"Hahahaha, I like smart people, Lao Gu, you and that kid from the Yan family are both smart people. That's right, whether it is to the general of the Tieli Kingdom, or to my former master and even Lord Xiang Wu, I tell them that I hope the Tieli people can win and create a chaotic era where the Three Kingdoms will rise together. ”
Xiao Qianye got up and continued: "But in fact, these emperors are extremely boring. The wolf king Zhuofa seems to be tough, but in fact he is as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't dare to make trouble in the desert for all these years. And the little emperor of the empire, not to mention that the little emperor himself is not martial, and is surrounded by a group of civil servants who are afraid of death all day long, which is also useless for this era. And the Tieli King Heredub is a hero, but unfortunately, heroes are the fastest to die, and his younger brother Heleiyue may make this era more interesting if he becomes the Tieli King. These three heads of a country care too much about peace. It's boring. ”
Xiao Qianye drank the wine in his cup and said: "The rivers and lakes are always the most interesting, as for these countries, they are just in time for the monster in the north to wake up, and we will help each other." Giving medicine to the Tieli people, arranging for the Red Jade Division to instigate the Haotian Sect to disrupt Hongcheng, assassinate Xiang Wu, and ambush the Iron Lion Sect, which has the most battles among the forces in the rivers and lakes, we have done a lot of good things in Tieli. But Tie Li Guo will be defeated after all. Although this is a very incredible thing, I have to admit that the group of idiots in the empire can have such a loyal general as Lord Xiang Wu is the luck of this country. ”
Yazo looked at the pill in his hand and said with a slightly shy smile, "Giggles, my lord, they are running out of time. No matter what, the Tieli people are going to lose. ”
Xiao Qianye naturally knew that the time in Mizang's mouth referred to the time when the drug was regurgitated. He stood with his hands in his hands, squinted his eyes, and sighed, "It's a pity, the Tieli people will not be extinct. Even if you lose, there is still hope. ”
The beggar swordsman Nie Wuxian said, "The Tieli people will not be extinct? ”
Xiao Qianye nodded and said, "If you feel that breath again, you can know that it is decaying." ”
Nie Wuxian was silent for a moment and then said in surprise: "That's true. This kind of thing is too bizarre. ”
"What I care about most in this war is Lord Xiang Wu, but I haven't forgotten that there is another person in this world who has the strength to compete with Xiang Wu. And this person has been disappearing. ”
Nie Wuxian said, "You mean Ning Wuxie? ”
Xiao Qianye said with a smile: "It's not just Ning Wuxie, the two old guys from the Second Sect of Buddhism and Taoism haven't come out, the sword ghost is waiting to fight with Heredubu, Ye is still traveling around the world and it is difficult to find traces, the strongest person in this river and lake is Ning Wuxie, and the one who can walk with Ning Wuxian can only be the fourth in the world, a person you are very familiar with Nie senior." ”
Nie Wuxian's expression was complicated, and then he smiled and said, "Yun Cangxuan." ”
"It's just that why are Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan together?" Nie Wuxian felt the wine in his mouth become bitter.
Xiao Qianye laughed, laughing insolently.
"Hahahahaha...... That's why I think it's an interesting time! ”
"The absence of Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan in such a war event is an extremely strange thing, Ning Wuxian is the way of the hegemon, but he is determined to be in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally will not miss such an opportunity to establish his prestige; As for Yun Cangxuan, this person seems to pursue the way of the hermit, but in fact, he is concerned about the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid he will not miss it. The two of them, but they have one thing in common, that is, madness, or this is the commonality of geniuses, I think, they should have teamed up to defeat the great things in the north. ”
Nie Wuxian frowned and said, "It seems that you know them very well. ”
"If you are in my position, you will understand that I definitely don't want people like Xiang Wu and Yun Cangxuan on my way forward, and for those who I think are powerful threats, I will investigate them very clearly, and I will be clear enough to be like their most trusted friends, so that I can defeat them."
Nie Wuxian stopped talking. He naturally agreed with Xiao Qianye's words, no matter what, if he regarded Ning Wuxie, Yun Cang, Xuanxiang Wu and others as enemies, he should have a detailed enough understanding of them.
"How does the pavilion master plan to act later, since Tie Li Guo has a fate that is difficult to change, and the transaction will never end, the next transaction may be time to start." Gu Sanqiu asked.
Xiao Qianye said: "The rivers and lakes are more interesting than the temple, I was taken away by Xiang Wu before I could do anything, and now no matter whether the empire wins or loses, Xiang Wu has to live in peace for a while, at this time, it is natural to make some turmoil." Before we do that, though, there's one more thing we need to do. ”
Xiao Qianye walked to the counter and flipped out a few picture scrolls. Then these scrolls were unfolded and handed over to Gu Sanqiu, Nie Wuxian and Mizang.
Tianji Pavilion has an intelligence network with the help of the empire, and the information is the most detailed, which is also the capital for Xiao Qianye to understand the world's heroes. For some important targets, the Heavenly Machine Pavilion will record their appearance and characteristics in detail in a picture scroll, as well as pay attention to all the information known.
When Mizo saw the scroll, his eyes were filled with resentment. Gu Sanqiu pulled his beard, but he frowned, Nie Wuxian was expressionless, and he didn't seem surprised.
"Do you know why the demon kings in those stories are always defeated by the heroes?" Xiao Qianye said.
The three of them did not respond, and Xiao Qianye was also asking and answering himself, he said:
"There are many fools in this world, who have great strength, but let their opponents become strong, and it is strange that the journey of the heroes of all stories to defeat the Demon King is similar. When they are weak enough, no one pays attention to them until they become behemoths, but it is already too late. ”
"The hero who could have been pinched to death with one hand slowly became stronger, and in the end, the water drops pierced. It's really inspiring, but I've never liked the passages in ordinary stories. If I were the Demon King of this world, I would not make my opponents stronger, and I would completely wipe them out when they were at their weakest. ”
"And the people in the portrait, you should all know, they are my next target, before disturbing the rivers and lakes, I will write a new era of my own with their blood."
Gu Sanqiu smiled, and so did Mizang. And the person in the scroll is not one, in fact, there are five people, and the scroll is very large. Everyone is portrayed vividly. Just like Gu Sanqiu, you can see the arrogance in the eyes of the scholar in the painting, the arrogance between the cook's eyebrows, and the gentle and bright smile of the shopkeeper, and even the forbidden lines on the running legs.
This is the people of the Last Floor Inn.
Ask Xue Lou Supreme is an inn, and the last floor inn is also an inn.
Xiao Qianye is the cabinet master and the shopkeeper, and Chen Hui is also the shopkeeper.
Tianji Pavilion and the Molou Inn have actually fought a few times. During the Nanban Secret Realm, he fought with Mizang, during the Tiankeng City incident, the Northern Frost River Fengzhan fought with Gu Sanqiu, and then at the Martial Arts Conference, Chen Hui and the scholar defeated the Tianji Pavilion Yanxing faction, and not long ago, although the Qinzhou City incident had not yet fought with the Red Jade Division, it was still a means to resolve the Tianji Pavilion.
In several confrontations, in fact, the last floor inn had the upper hand, but during this time, the sight of Tianji Pavilion always fell elsewhere. Xiao Qianye is a very smart person, even if his wisdom is not as good as that of a scholar and a scholar, but it is not far behind, and smart people will learn a lesson after suffering losses, and they will also understand who the opponent should really pay attention to.
In the Northern War, Xiao Qianye thought about it, the person who could save Xiang Wu in his hands, except for Akasi, was only Feng Zhan, and he already knew who the big thief Feng Zhan was.
"I do know, I know, speaking of which, it's an old friend, I really miss them." Mizo looked resentful, covering his chest with one hand, as if he could still recall the sword in the Nanban Secret Realm.
Gu Sanqiu frowned and remembered what Feng Zhan left behind, he should be glad that there were too many things in the rivers and lakes later, otherwise he would have no way to be remembered by a thief like Feng Zhan.
And Nie Wuxian smiled and said: "It just so happens that I made a deal with Qi Tianhe, he has already paid the money, and I should deliver it in a few days, and being a friend is about credit." ”
Xiao Qianye said: "Very good, the reason why I have always admired that kid from the Yan family is that Yan Xing can accurately analyze the potential threat. He once said that we are the most terrible force in the rivers and lakes, but the Molou Inn is the luck of the times to deal with us. We have the best talent in various industries, and so do they, but the Tianji Pavilion has already taken shape, and the Moolou Inn is just a prototype. Whether it is Feng Zhan, Ding Qiliang, or the daughter of Zhong Wanxuan, the world's first divine doctor, they are still developing, although the scholars of the Shen family are full of ingenuity, maybe slightly better than the kid of the Yan family, but Yan Xing is a master of the peak realm of Jiuye after all. ”
Xiao Qianye snorted coldly, his eyebrows were full of fierceness:
"Looking at it now, whether it is the intelligence network or the combat power, the power of this Sulou Inn is not as far away as ours, but people have no long-term worries, and they will have near-term worries. And I never like to give my opponent a chance to breathe and grow. They have intervened in many of our plans, and they have been able to get out of it, which shows that this group of people is excellent, and the leader of this force is also a very special talent. I like this kind of opponent, but as long as it is an opponent, it is always best to live in memory. ”
Gu Sanqiu was happy again and warmed the wine for Xiao Qianye.
"The pavilion master's words really relieved me, the people in this inn, except for the shopkeeper, are actually not very powerful, but their potential is unlimited, and what level they can reach in the future is really limitless. After the martial arts conference, the forces of the rivers and lakes have a good impression of it, and the prestige of the shopkeeper is not low, and Yunci Valley is extremely friendly with the Demon Sect and the inn, if these forces are not eliminated, there will be endless troubles in the future. ”
Nie Wuxian also said: "Nowadays, there are more and more young geniuses, I just want to say that you should do these things as soon as possible." ”
Xiao Qianye also smiled: "How can I make the mistakes that Xiang Wu has made again." ”
Xiang Wu sensed Xiao Qianye's danger ten years ago, but in the end Xiang Wu did not kill Xiao Qianye, although Xiao Qianye was also very strong at that time, it was definitely not a threat in terms of Xiang Wu's strength. But because he did not pose a threat, ten years later, he was allowed to grow, but Xiao Qianye almost killed Xiang Wu.
All stories are like this, the protagonists grow little by little, avoiding all the sinisters that lead to death. In the end, he became a big hero that no one can beat. Xiao Qianye is not a hero, but he knows such taboos.
At this moment, in his mind, a plan for the destruction of the Tianji Pavilion and the Last Mansion Inn had been formed.
In Xiao Qianye's opinion, the potential of the inn is indeed great, but it still relies on the young shopkeeper, and he has never been able to find out the identity of the shopkeeper.
Xiao Qianye was also a leader among the younger generation ten years ago, he is very similar to today's Chenhui, obviously has the strongest strength of the younger generation in the world, but he is not obvious, and he is extremely low-key. That's why he cares a lot about today's younger generation. He would not allow himself to make the mistakes of Xiang Wu back then, if anyone in the younger generation would become his potential opponent, Xiao Qianye would not hesitate to kill him.
Li Nianyun, as the head of the Nine Great Sects, has been paying attention, but unfortunately he can't recruit them, and young heroes like Akasi Li Zangjian Mizang have become his subordinates.
Later, he also tried to recruit Nian Xiaotang, Bai Dan, Tang Xian and others, who became famous. He values the youngest generation. Because the old man of Huangquan, Zhang Tianshi, and Master Fangzheng will eventually grow old. There is never a shortage of legends in the rivers and lakes, and when people focus on legends, Xiao Qianye prefers to pay attention to the existence before the formation of legends.
And among all the younger generations, he is most optimistic about the sect master of the Demon Sect, and the young man nicknamed the shopkeeper he is going to deal with now. These two people are very good in terms of realm, age, talent, exercises, weapons, and resources, and the most terrifying thing is that these two people are very low-key. is so low-key that the background of these two people can't even be found in Tianji Pavilion. Powerful martial arts, strong cultivation, amazing talent, this man and woman seem to have no master and no teacher, and they are powerful from nowhere. It made him care. He was also very alert, as if he had seen his younger self. It's just a pity that the shopkeeper and the sect master of the Demon Sect seem to be destined to be his enemies.
Xiao Qianye has reached the age of thirty, he likes to think about everything he does, he is a bully like Ning Wuxie, he can't make low-level mistakes in doing things, he really wants to find out if there is still power behind the Demon Sect, and whether there is still power behind the inn. And who can teach such an excellent young and strong man, who is sacred.
It's a pity that neither the Tianji Pavilion nor the empire can find out the past between Chen Hui and Chen Ling. In Xiao Qianye's opinion, their master should be an existence that he can't shake, but if there is really such a character in the rivers and lakes, it shouldn't be without reputation.
Of course, Xiao Qianye's actions against the inn will not hesitate or change because of this, he has never been a person who is timid.
When the bell rings for the end of the war, he will launch the deadliest attack on the Last Mansion Inn with the Heavenly Machine.
(Tomorrow after tomorrow, how much tomorrow ~ Let's explode tomorrow, it's too confusing during the cold, this chapter is a wedge for the next part.) It's like the eighteenth chapter of this volume, eh, and I can't say much more about the rest, but. The big duel between the villain and the protagonist's forces will not be as long as the war part, probably the same as before, tens of thousands of words can be written, but it will be as exciting as possible. )
(End of chapter)
