Chapter 59: Negotiations
Hong Antong and Su Quan returned to the open space in front of the lobby, and after waiting for a long time, they saw the Five Dragon Envoys with a few sect members hurrying towards this side.
"Sect Master, I found out, it's the people of the Heaven and Earth Society."
Hong Antong frowned, "Heaven and Earth Society?" My Divine Dragon Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society have never intersected, and the well water has always been the river water, why did they come? ”
Qinglong envoy Xu Xueting said: "Sect Master, according to the disciple's report, Lu Gaoxuan, Fat Toutuo, Slender Toutuo and others, who have been missing for more than half a year, are all in the Heaven and Earth Society array. ”
"What? Could it be that they dare to betray their sect master? Hong Antong was furious, looked at the disciples behind the Five Dragon Envoys, and shouted, "You say, what is the situation under the mountain? ”
The disciples trembled with fright, and a disciple in a blue shirt stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "Sect Master, there are about two hundred people at the foot of the mountain, all of whom are in front of the path down the mountain, all holding muskets and bows and arrows in their hands. ”
"The disciples and others went down to the mountainside, and after being discovered by the other party, they didn't attack, Mr. Lu said let's tell the sect leader, and the Heaven and Earth Society Thunderbolt Hall Incense will mainly negotiate with the sect leader."
"He also said that the Shenlong Sect has been targeted by more than a dozen cannons, giving us time to think about half a stick of incense, if we haven't responded after half a stick of incense, they will open fire to bombard our sect."
"Perak Hall? Negotiation? Hong Antong's expression changed uncertainly, and the Heaven and Earth Society robbed the Dharma Field and the thunderbolt incident caused a lot of uproar in the world, and Hong Antong naturally knew about it.
Presumably, this Thunderbolt Hall incense master is the one who can make thunderbolts, how can Lu Gaoxuan and the others have a relationship with heaven and earth? What does the other side have to negotiate with themselves?
Hong Antong paced back and forth, thinking secretly in his heart, and the five dragon envoys did not dare to urge, and waited quietly for the sect leader's decision.
And they didn't notice that Su Quan's eyes on Hong Antong's side couldn't help flickering, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, Su Quan spoke: "Sect Master, now that the only way down the mountain is blocked by the other party, and there are gunboats on the sea, we really have no choice." ”
"Since the other party chose to negotiate and did not directly attack, presumably the other party must have something to ask for from me, why don't you go and hear what they have to say first?"
Hong Antong listened to Su Quan's words, and said: "Well, Madame is reasonable, but we can't weaken our momentum, and we order to go down and order the disciples to prepare bows and arrows. ”
"Yes."
……
At the foot of the mountain, after the disciples of the Divine Dragon Sect who came to investigate returned to the mountain, Yang Yifei and the others waited for another twenty minutes and finally saw groups of Divine Dragon Sect disciples winding towards the mountain path.
Yang Yifei noticed that the people in front of the Shenlong Sect were a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers and girls, those wearing blue, white, black, and yellow clothes were all teenagers, and those wearing red clothes were girls.
These young men and girls all carried long swords on their backs, and some of them carried bows and arrows, and they carried quivers.
When they had just turned around the foot of the mountain, these disciples were still a little hesitant in their footsteps, and when they saw that the array of the Heaven and Earth Society was fifty zhang away, they seemed to be a little relieved, slightly quickened their pace, rushed down the mountain, and lined up at the foot of the mountain.
After more than two hundred people came down, Hong An Tongcai appeared on the mountain road with Su Quan and the Five Dragon Envoys, and there were three or four hundred people behind them, most of them were teenagers and girls, and only a small number of disciples above the prime of life.
Yang Yifei's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Hong Antong, who was under the heavy protection of the disciples, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
After all the Divine Dragon Sect members descended to the foot of the mountain, Yang Yifei said softly: "Mr. Lu, let's come forward to negotiate, and Brother Xu is ready for battle." ”
"Yes, be careful."
Xu Tianchuan answered, and quietly ordered all the snipers to switch the burst arrows, there were forty snipers, twenty of them inserted the ordinary arrows in their hands back into the quiver, and pulled out the burst arrows from the other quiver, and the other twenty took out the fire fold.
Jiu Yan and Mao Eighteen followed Yang Yifei and Lu Gaoxuan and his party forward, and they were all one step behind Yang Yifei, highlighting his status.
Over there, Hong Antong saw a group of people walking out of the other party's array, Lu Gaoxuan and others were all in the queue, and the person holding the musket behind did not come forward, understanding that the other party was coming forward to negotiate.
Hong Antong groaned slightly, it is most beneficial for him to get close to the other party, with his martial arts, if the musket does not form a scale at close range, he will also be helpless, if he can't talk, he can also break out, as long as he controls the leader of the other party, everything will be fine.
Thinking of this, Hong Antong ordered: "The Five Dragon Envoys will come forward to negotiate with the sect leader, and you will lead the sect members and act when the opportunity arises." ”
"Yes, Master, you have to be careful." Su Quan said softly with concern on his face.
Hong Antong showed a look of relief on his face, and said proudly: "Madam, don't worry, the people in this world who can hurt me have not yet been born." ”
With that, he strode forward, and the disciples made way of their own way, and the five dragon envoys glanced at each other and followed behind him.
The two sides were fifty zhang apart, Yang Yifei walked forward about twenty zhang, then stopped, raised a palm to signal the other party to stop, Hong Antong and his party saw this, and also stopped at ten zhang opposite Yang Yifei and others.
Yang Yifei's eyes flashed slightly, he laughed, suddenly raised his hands, and shouted: "In the lower heaven and earth, Yang Yifei, the incense master of the Thunderbolt Hall, wishes the Hong sect leader immortal blessings and eternal happiness, and longevity and heaven." ”
“……”
Jiu Yan and Lu Gaoxuan and his entourage looked at Yang Yifei with strange eyes, Hong Antong over there was also stunned, and the Five Dragon Envoys were stunned, what is the situation? Why is it a little different from what I imagined?
Hong Antong was only stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Lord Yang Xiang is too polite, the sect leader doesn't dare to be, Lord Yang Xiang is a teacher and mobilizes the people, and when he comes to my Shenlong Island, he is firing cannons and shooting, I don't know what I want?" ”
Yang Yifei directly chose to ignore Hong Antong's implicit questioning, he put down his hands with the trend, and when he put his hands down, the automatic pistol was already in his right hand.
Over there, Hong Antong's expression tightened, and the five dragon envoys were also full of surprise, no one could see clearly, how did Yang Yifei suddenly have an extra object in his hand, could it be that this Yang Xiang Lord would still play tricks?
The objects in Yang Yifei's hands were very different from the short musket, but they could also roughly see that this should be a musket, could it be that this is the legendary Thunderbolt Soul Chaser?
But where is this gun Yang Xiang Owner? And how did it suddenly appear in his hands?
is unpredictable, Lord Yang Xiang is really unpredictable.
After Yang Yifei took out the automatic pistol, he didn't make any moves, just held it in his hand and played with it, and said with a smile: "I heard Mr. Lu say that there is a group of anti-Qing righteous people entrenched on Shenlong Island, and I admire them in my heart. ”
"Therefore, I took my brothers to visit Sect Master Hong, and by the way, I invited Sect Master Hong to lead the Divine Dragon Sect to join the Heaven and Earth Society and conspire against the great cause of the Qing Dynasty."
