Chapter 117: Once a Son of Heaven and a Courtier
When Zhao Qianli came to Qingfeng City and met the "legendary" Seventh Master, some things suddenly dawned on him.
It turned out that the Seventh Master turned out to be the boss of Axe Hall Wu, that is, the chief scoop handle.
Zhao Qianli immediately understood why Zeng Jian, the master of the ninth hall of the Axe Hall, would not hesitate to cripple Zeng Kunnan on Shangyuan Street that day, and only begged for his forgiveness.
Osmanthus in the yard.
Zhao Qianli took a deep look at the Seventh Master who had secretly helped him.
"That's it! Come on! Don't give me these false things, I don't have these rules here, if you really want to thank me, just hurry up and cultivate, rescue your senior sister as soon as possible, and have a reunion dinner in our sect, which is more real than anything else. Wu Gang said.
Zhao Qianli nodded and asked, "Seventh Master, what kind of grandmaster did Senior Sister arrest?" ”
"It's very strong, so strong that I can't use the power above the human world and can only tie with him, all in all, it's not for you to compete with now, cultivate well, and accept the forces we prepared for you first." Wu Gang said.
"So what do I need to do now?" Zhao Qianli asked.
Wu Gang said in a deep voice: "The Ninth Hall of the Axe Hall was dispersed because of you, and it should also be gathered because of you, and re-establishing the Nine Halls is your current first task." In addition, we don't need you in Qingfeng City Mingyue City, there is no great unification of the forces in the rivers and lakes here, the Daotang that was suppressed by me before has been cultivating talents, and it won't be long before there will be a battle between the Axe Hall and the Daotang, and then it will be the time when you really gain a foothold in Qingfeng City, during this period, I will not interfere in anything, including your life or death, understand? ”
"I might still die!" Zhao Qianli was a little worried, he was very sorry for his life, he still wanted to see Nangong Mingyue in its entirety.
"Only by going through the tribulations of life and death can you truly grow, this is what your eldest master and second master have repeatedly emphasized, and I can't help it." Wu Gang sighed.
"Then if I really can't fight the Daotang, you shouldn't see death without help!" Zhao Qianli said expectantly.
"I've seen a lot of time when I can't save myself." Wu Gang said with a smile.
"......" Zhao Qianli felt very helpless, thinking that when he arrived in Qingfeng City, the Seventh Master would cover him, and he could pick up a big bargain, but now he knows that this bargain is not cheap at all, and he still has to fight with his life.
Wu Gang stretched out his hand and picked a piece of osmanthus branch out of thin air and sniffed it.
It's autumn, and the era of grass withering is finally coming.
Wu Gang smiled faintly and said: "Apprentice, go where you should go, the master has already ordered to go down, and the people of Jiutang will wait for you." Then I'm going to retreat for a while, so you don't have to look for me, if you don't understand anything, look for Secretary Liu. ”
"Secretary Liu?" Zhao Qianli was a little puzzled.
"When you meet, you will know that he will be your henchman in the Axe Hall." Wu Gang said.
Zhao Qianli got up and left.
……
The ninth hall of the axe hall.
The big courtyard that was broken into by Su Guoguo alone, and a large number of people were set up after repair, and it looked quite presentable.
It's just that in the past, there would be two guards standing in front of the door, and since the young master Zeng Kunnan left and Zeng Jianjin washed his hands and withdrew from the rivers and lakes, it seems very scattered here.
Some people left, and some people chose to stay in Jiutang.
And these people who stayed behind are undoubtedly the old rivers and lakes of Jiutang, and they are also old fritters.
Early this morning, Jiutang received a notice from Liu Jinlong, Secretary Liu, saying that Boss Wu had appointed the newcomer hall master of Jiutang, and he would come over to meet you today.
So the old fritters of Jiutang finally got together in a rare way.
There are now a total of thirteen people in Jiutang, including Lai Yuejin, Ji Congliang, and Fan Bucket, who once accompanied Zeng Kunnan to Mingyue City, and in addition to them, there are ten other people who are also masters of the Five Realms, and even one of them has reached the Six Realms.
Although today's Jiutang is no longer what it used to be, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that behind the Jiutang is the Axe Hall, as long as the Axe Hall is still the leading boss in Qingfeng City one day, no matter how down, the Jiutang will not disappear, and sooner or later it will rise again.
The reason why they chose to stay in the Nine Halls was naturally because of the vacancy in the position of hall master, and everyone thought that as long as they stayed to show their loyalty, they could become the new hall masters.
But the news from Secretary Liu made them all very upset.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about what Secretary Liu said about the new hall master?"
The one who spoke was Zhu Fan, the only master of the Six Realms in the hall, who served as the steward and had a pivotal position in the Nine Halls.
Many of the affairs of the church will pass through his hands before they reach the master.
"Steward Zhu, is this what you called our meeting for? Now that Boss Wu has appointed the hall master, do we have an opinion, does it matter? ”
"That is, our nine halls are just a branch of the axe hall, and among the many halls, it is now the hall that has the least right to speak, so it is better not to say it."
"It's been too hot lately, I can't raise my head wherever I go, I don't care who the new hall master is, and I don't care how many fires he is going to burn, as long as he can re-establish his prestige in the nine halls, I will obey him."
The crowd said.
Zhu Fan smiled and said: "I said brothers, are you all being bullied stupidly or what?" Once a son of heaven and a courtier, when the old hall master was still there, we were naturally confidants, and the new hall master was here, do you think you can still treat us as henchmen? I'm afraid that before you can obey him, the three fires of the new official have already burned us to ashes. ”
"Impossible, Jiutang is now just thirteen of us inside and out, burning us, he is a bare-rod hall master, meaningful?" Someone questioned.
Zhu Fan couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that everyone is really confused by the authorities." That's right, we don't have much manpower in Jiutang now, but you forget, we are the ninth hall of the Axe Hall, as long as he sends a message out, there will only be more people who sign up to join Jiutang than before. ”
The crowd was like an initiation.
Zhu Fan's words were undoubtedly to the point.
"Yes, with the influence of the Axe Hall, as long as it says that you want to recruit troops, someone will definitely come to submit your name."
"The most important thing is that the resumption of Jiutang is equivalent to an emerging force, and there is more room for development, maybe there will be people from other halls who come here to get a piece of the pie, and then we old people may really give way."
"Steward Zhu, we are thinking too simply. Since you summoned us to this meeting, you must have already taken a countermeasure. ”
Everyone looked at Zhu Fan expectantly.
Zhu Fan drank a cup of tea slowly and methodically, and said slowly: "I don't know if you still remember that there was a rule at the beginning of the establishment of the Axe Hall. ”
"You mean, fists talking?" Ji Congliangdao.
Zhu Fan is undeniable.
"But after all, it was hand-picked by Boss Wu, will we anger Boss Wu by doing this?" Fan Bucket Road.
"How open-minded is Boss Wu, would he care about this little thing?" Zhu Fan shook his head and smiled, "What Boss Wu really cares about is the heart failure of the Axe Hall, his appointment of the position of the master of the Nine Halls is nothing more than to want the Nine Halls to be brilliant again, if this person can't even pass our level, how can he bring glory to the Nine Halls?" ”
Everyone nodded.
Zhu Fan continued: "So, as long as we can work together to give our new hall master a dismissal, and then report this matter to the hallmaster, there will be room for the position of hall master." ”
"I don't need to say more about why you stayed."
Zhu Fan's gaze swept over everyone, "Of course, if you are willing to try whether the fire of the new hall master can burn yourself, I will not stop you, anyway, most of the people who do our business are lonely and have nothing to worry about." ”
"But for me, instead of handing over my fate to a stranger I have never met in person, I want to fight for it myself, life and death are just one life, and eighteen years later, I will be a good man."
"In a word, is there anyone who wants to fight with me?"
