Chapter 12: Balancing the Quartet
There seemed to be some truth to this, and then several ministers laughed again, their eyes full of intriguing.
However, these words were listened to by others, and there were many people on the road, and it was easy to listen to a few words.
Somewhere on the street, a chivalrous man immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand after hearing this, hurriedly settled the bill and left.
The man was in a hurry, his brows were frowned, his facial features were distorted, and he was very serious, and what was even more strange was that the sword he was carrying was always in his hand, and he looked like he was about to draw it at any time.
However, there are many people coming and going, and no one will care too much. The man ran and flew away, and only stopped when he reached the gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Raising his head and glancing at the plaque disdainfully, it was brand new, and it was painted with fine paint all around. It seems that this kid is doing really well, quite moist. Hum! Seeing this, the corners of the man's mouth curled higher, full of contempt and mockery.
When the guards at the door saw that the visitor was not good, they went up to inquire about it. Who knew that this man didn't say a word, and when he came up, he drew his sword. In an instant, the two of them fell to the ground with their necks crooked. Seeing this, the passing butler hurriedly ran to report to the general.
"General, it's not good. There were people outside, fierce and vicious, and they killed people when they saw something going on, and the two guards at the door were killed by him! The old butler trembled, and even his words trembled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already entered, and a long sword flew past the butler's neck. I only felt a trace of coldness, and flew in front of me and went directly to Sheng Linsheng's side.
Sheng Linsheng is still calm and calm, drinking tea by himself. After scraping the tea foam, he slowly lifted the teacup with both hands, and wanted to open his mouth to sip it slightly, but suddenly stopped. Immediately, with the lifting of his right hand, he was able to grip the lightning-fast sword with only his index and middle fingers. His eyes were slightly raised and he looked down at the person who came coldly, and with a light smile, he glanced at the housekeeper on the ground and ordered him to retreat.
Then he approached with tea in his left hand, took a sip of tea, and with a slight wave of his right hand, he shot the sword out. The owner of the sword took the sword one by one.
Sheng Linsheng laughed, "Haha, I have heard for a long time that the martial arts of the Lord of the Zhao Pavilion are strong, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Sheng, someone, is really fortunate to be able to talk to you today. Since the visitor is a guest, you can sit down. ”
Pavilion Lord Zhao snorted and didn't dare to move, he also saw the situation just now, and it was not idle to be able to catch his sword so quickly, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Sheng Linsheng put down the teacup, hid his other hand behind him and wiped it before reaching out again. However, no one noticed this small action, because he also said something to distract the other person while doing it.
"Pavilion Master Zhao, what are you doing so angrily? Didn't two of my men offend you? ”
"Humph!" Speaking of this, Pavilion Master Zhao was even more angry, "It's you and your woman who offended me!" ”
"Me? And? Sheng Linsheng was surprised for a moment, and then laughed again, "Pavilion Master Zhao is really funny when he speaks, he shouldn't be talking about these nonsense today." You are also the big head of one of the four major gangs in the rivers and lakes, you might as well say what you want to do here, I will help if you can. ”
"Well, don't talk in front of the Ming people. I just want to know when the terms you and your woman promised us will be fulfilled? We've got you covered in the world, and it's time to get a piece of the pie. You're not going to deny it, are you? It's okay if you don't admit it, it's a big deal to break the net, as long as I tell you about such despicable deeds, see who dares to believe such an empress! "What Pavilion Master Zhao said is vibrating, as if it is true.
Sheng Linsheng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, as if he was listening to a cold joke with no jokes, "I thought that the four major heads of the rivers and lakes were all cold-hearted, but I didn't expect that the Zhao Pavilion Lord was very eager." Naturally, the benefits are indispensable to you, but the imperial court has just been established, and many things are being dealt with. I believe that it will not be long before the above will give you benefits, and the agreement will not be disagreed with after the agreement is signed, and it is a big deal that someone Sheng will remind you a few more words. ”
"Upper?" Pavilion Master Zhao listened funny, tilted his head and looked at Sheng Linsheng evilly, "Isn't it you above?" I don't believe that a female streamer has any ability to govern the country, and it's not that you are silently supporting behind it. The meaning of the above is also your meaning. You have come to the Holy Word, and how many bullshit holy decrees have been withstanded. Don't think that I don't know what you have with that woman, not to mention the similarity of clothes, even when you set up a trick to deceive us, it was you Sheng Linsheng who was in the way, and that woman just picked up your advantage. So I'm sure that as long as you say a word, the woman will make an order immediately. Sheng Linsheng, you can give a word, when will we be benefited! "Pavilion Master Zhao is aggressive.
Sheng Linsheng was amused when he heard it, this Zhao Pavilion Master really exaggerated himself, but he must not have imagined what would happen if he really said this in front of her. It's ridiculous to think about it, but it's just a little person who is played in applause, thinking that he can show off his might by dancing with a knife and a gun, which is really ridiculous.
However, the big thing was not accomplished, so he couldn't find out, so he had to follow his meaning first, "Haha, Pavilion Master Zhao is not in a hurry." Sheng someone will tell you about it, and he will definitely satisfy you as soon as possible. ”
Pavilion Master Zhao didn't believe it, he seemed that the right to decide was obviously in the hands of Sheng Lin Sheng, so why did he need to tell him, and he was clearly taking the opportunity to delay and want to repay the debt. However, this Sheng Lin Shengneng caught his weapon with two fingers, and you can imagine how high the martial arts are. If you really don't admit it, you won't have a problem with him at all, unless you join forces with the other three heads to deal with it.
It's just that the relationship between the four of them has always been discordant, not to mention that the temperament and temperament are not very clear, I don't know if they are willing to cooperate, it seems that this aspect still needs some effort. It just so happened that he also needed time to unite the three of them, so Sheng Linsheng's set of rhetoric reluctantly accepted.
"Well, I'm reluctantly accepting your words. But you listen, I'll only give you three days, and if there is no word after three days, don't blame us for being rude! Hum! Pavilion Master Zhao took the sword and left angrily.
Sheng Linsheng put down his honor, frowned slightly, raised his hand and looked at the wound between his fingers. This Zhao Pavilion Master's internal strength is really not shallow, and he can't help but worry about what will happen if the four masters join forces.
Sheng Linsheng didn't dare to make decisions alone, so he still asked Yan Zi to discuss the matter.
Outside the main hall, in front of the white marble railing, the two leaned side by side and chatted about today's events, "Do you think when is the best time to reward them?" Sheng Linsheng asked.
Yan Zi looked at him and asked curiously, "What is the best time?" You seem to have something to say? ”
Sheng Linsheng pursed his lips, and smiled without smiling, "Don't think I don't know, you're waiting for an opportunity at all." Otherwise, all the heroes will be rewarded, and the ministers will also be punished, that is, they will ignore the four most meritorious leaders, isn't it strange? So I'm guessing you're waiting for the best time to seal the reward. ”
"Haha!" Yan Zi smiled evilly, and looked at Sheng Linsheng with interest, "You are really ...... Haha, I really don't know what to say about you. That's right, I'm just waiting for the perfect moment. I am not familiar with these four leaders, so I don't dare to act rashly. They are the most formidable opponents. You know better than me what the influence of the four of them is in the martial arts, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the thousands of troops in the imperial court, you can imagine how many heroes there are in the martial arts. This kind of battle is really terrifying, if there were only four of them or four sects, we would be more than enough to unite, but the truth is much more complicated than we thought. I have to catch their weaknesses! ”
Speaking of the word weakness, Yan Zi simply gritted his teeth, and the jade hand beat the white marble railing with resentment. In a flash, he suddenly laughed, and his smile was full of evil and bloodlust.
Sheng Linsheng also smiled the same, but the slender jade hand holding her with great concern rubbed gently. Seeing that there were no scars on his white hands, he was relieved and relieved.
However, the sharp-eyed Yan Zi also noticed a scar on his hand, the wound was very new and thin and long, and it was obvious that he had a fight with a martial arts master not long ago.
"It seems that this Zhao Pavilion Master is really not simple, look down on it."
Sheng Linsheng smiled awkwardly and quickly withdrew his hand. Yan Zi was amused by his expression, "What? Still embarrassed? There are people outside the sky, are you only allowed to be strong in martial arts, and others are not allowed to have extraordinary skills? But that's fine, at least I can see that this Zhao Pavilion Master is an acute person who is greedy for profit. And that Zhu is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and as for the weaknesses of the other two heads, they don't know about it for the time being. So I'll have to wait. ”
"Well, I know what I'm going to do." Sheng Linsheng smiled heartily.
Yan Zi wondered, "What do you know?" ”
"I'll do whatever you want me to do." The answer was simple and crisp.
Yan Zi also smiled and said no more.
Sheng Linsheng knew that all he had to do was to hold his troops still, so he let the Zhao Pavilion Master misunderstand them, and then waited for them to expose their weaknesses if they couldn't bear it. When a person has a weakness, he digs his own grave!
It's terrifying, thinking of this, even Sheng Linsheng himself couldn't help but gasp, fortunately they were the ones on top.
Gorgeous clothes fluttering, robes. One step out is a round of sun, and a new day begins, and all the tricks are hidden in the dark by the transparent sunlight. The bright earth is not as calm as it seems.
It is only a matter of time before what is supposed to come will come. So Sheng Linsheng was not in a hurry, but tasted the refreshments very indifferently. I waited quietly for some days, but no one came. These three heads are really from some city governments, and they can live so quietly and quietly.
The most testing thing at this time is patience. If you are in a hurry, you will be in chaos, one wrong step and one wrong step, Sheng Linsheng remembered what the master said, did not dare to act rashly, and continued to drink tea.
But when it came, no matter how long they waited, they couldn't bear it.
"General, someone said it was your friend who wanted to see you." The butler came up to report.
