An Long, the Heavenly Lotus Sect Master, in the original plot, only officially appeared after the Luoyang and Shibi incidents.
In terms of martial arts, An Long is not ranked high among the eight masters of the Demon Gate, although he is definitely a boss-level plot character of the second difficulty, but it is also at the same level as Wei Wuya, and it is far from some of the top characters of the Tang Dynasty Shuanglong Shijie.
But if anyone dares to underestimate this fat man, they will have to suffer a lot, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling grew up to the future, and they were not weaker than An Long in solo combat, but they joined forces to assassinate many times, but they were unsuccessful, you must know that even the "Heavenly Monarch" Xi Ying, who was ranked higher than An Long, was killed by Xu Ziling alone!
Of course, there are many external factors in this, and it is not possible to make a simple comparison of strength and weakness, but one fact is undeniable, that is, An Long's cautious and cautious and fickle style of action has helped him escape several major disasters!
Therefore, taking the normal way, it is extremely difficult for Gao Xu to open An Long's favorability and get his attention, and it is bound to take a long time to achieve it with water grinding work, even with An Hong's letter of introduction!
But Gao Xu came to visit the sect master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect as a junior of the Holy Gate at this moment, it was a clever move, even if An Long still had doubts about Gao Xu's origin, but he also looked down on him unconsciously, after all, the head of the Flower Sect was still the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan, maybe this kid would be valued by him in the future and ascend to the sky in one step......
Businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money, and they like to make friends, especially to bring up the younger generations with development potential, which is the right thing to do.
So when An Long found that Gao Xu's experience in the rivers and lakes was not rich, and he was a little stunned, he immediately put on the style of an elder, and began to be kind and intriguing, instilling some thoughts......
"Uncle Anshi, my little nephew has a question, I have been holding it in my heart for a long time, and seeing you at this moment is just a moment to solve my doubts!" As soon as Gao Xufu sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Master told me that our Holy Gate is huge and powerful, but since Weishenme came down the mountain, I haven't met other disciples of the Holy Gate sects, and when I asked some people, they all shook their heads and didn't know?" ”
"Hehe......" An Long laughed dryly, did not answer, but asked, "Who have you asked about the whereabouts of the disciples of the Holy Companion?" ”
"Oh, after I went down the mountain, the leader of the Deze Gang took it seriously and joined the Longyou Gang." Gao Xu took out the token of the Longyou Gang, shook it, and continued, "The disciples of the Longyou Gang are all over the world, I thought that if I joined this kind of gang, I would definitely be able to learn the news of the Holy Gate soon, where did I know that I asked many people, they all shook their heads and didn't know, hey! I really don't know! ”
"Fortunately, you stunned young man joined a business-oriented gang, otherwise he would have been plotted to death by others! However, since he has the token of the Longyou Gang and An Hong's letter, it means that this experience cannot be faked, and he also helped the caravan a lot today......" An Long figured out the cause and effect, but he had a good impression of Gao Xu, touched his head, and said with a smile, "The virtuous nephew is too anxious, thinking about the prestige of my Holy Gate, how can those people who are ascending to the Dou can feel it, they don't know, it's a normal thing!" ”
"I'm afraid it's not!" The corners of Gao Xu's mouth twitched, and there was a look of anticipation on his face, and he was just about to speak, but he didn't know what he thought, swallowed the words again, and sighed softly.
"This son is not stupid, he knows what to say and what not to say, he is a piece of material!" After a short period of contact, coupled with the content of An Hong's letter, Gao Xu already had a general impression in An Long's heart: he is talented and scheming, but he doesn't have much experience, and he is the favorite talent of old rivers and lakes like them! …,
"Virtuous nephew, the winner is the king and the loser is the coward, it is the eternal truth of the world, if there is chaos today, the heroes rise together, and laugh to zuihou, I don't know who it is? Don't be discouraged by the small setbacks in front of you! From the previous conversation, Gao Xu seemed to understand something, his face was a little gray, An Long saw it, but he also sent kindness and comforted.
"Thank you Uncle Shi for your enlightenment!" Gao Xu nodded, calmed down his emotions, got up and hugged his fists, "Then the little nephew will leave first, don't disturb Uncle Shi's rest!" ”
"Don't! Our uncle and nephew finally met for the second time, how can we just leave? An Long hurriedly stood up, stopped Gao Xu, and thought, "The most critical thing hasn't been said yet, you kid wants to run away?" ”
"Oh, by the way, the little nephew came here to tell Uncle Shi that Rong Fengxiang, the president of the Jianghuai Army's Fugongyou and Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, is plotting against you, and it seems that a great conspiracy is brewing, and even the Changbai faction is involved!" Gao Xu seemed to have reacted at this time, and the main reason he came this time was to tell the caravan about the behind-the-scenes command and relevant information, and took out another letter from his bosom.
The letter was opened from Luo Xuan's treasure chest, and it clearly recounted the order given by Fu Gongyou. This extra thing was obviously a prop specially used by the space for reincarnators to improve An Hong's favorability, but it was made a big detour by Gao Xu and handed over to An Long.
By the way, Luo Xuan, a tragic boss-level plot character, is easy to kill, but the drop is also extremely stingy, except for letters, there are only 350 points, which makes Gao Xu speechless.
Only 350 points is no longer in Gao Xu's eyes, but it meets the conditions of 200 points for the main quest three, fortunately, Gao Xu was prepared and took the goods, otherwise he would not dare to open the treasure chest rashly......
An Long took the letter, glanced at it, his eyes narrowed, and he was obviously very angry at Fu Gongyou's slap in the face, but at this time, Gao Xu said a word that choked him enough: "Fortunately, Uncle Shi is a member of the Holy Gate, and it is absolutely not a problem to deal with that Rong Fengxiang, and Jiang Huaijun's hand can't reach out to Hefei City, so the little nephew can rest assured!" ”
An Long really has a hard time to say, you must know that Rong Fengxiang's real name is Bichen, he is the master of Lao Junguan, and he is also one of the eight masters of the Demon Gate, ranking only one place lower than An Long. And Fu Gongyou was also born in the Heavenly Lotus Sect, and was An Long's junior brother, who broke out fifteen years ago because of the failure to compete for the position of the sect master, and the senior brothers turned against each other.
Once these two join forces, not only are the two top masters eyeing Anlong, but also represent that the Shili of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce and the Jianghuai Army may be in trouble at any time, even if Anlong has been operating in Sichuan for many years and has deep roots, he also feels the heavy pressure, knowing that he is about to face a difficult and protracted war!
However, when Gao Xu said this, An Long's heart moved, and he instantly brewed a poisonous trick: "This stunned young boy is not weak, he is a good chess piece!" He has already killed a lot of Jianghuai Army, and he has a grudge against Fu Gongyou, but Rong Fengxiang has nothing to do with it, I need to add a fire! Rong Fengxiang has left Hefei yesterday and returned to Luoyang, but his daughter Rong Jiaojiao has not left yet, Nasao/Hoof likes to seduce the handsome young man the most, let this kid go to meet Rong Jiaojiao, after suffering hardship, I will instigate and instigate, and I am afraid that they will not fight to the death? ”
Thinking of this, An Long's smile suddenly became even brighter, and he grabbed Gao Xu, so that he must stay for one night.
Seeing that An Long was so enthusiastic, Gao Xu also became interested, and the two chatted in the house again, talking and talking, they talked about the topic of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, An Long pretended to sigh sadly and said: "Virtuous nephew, business is not easy to do now, you see, that Rong Fengxiang did everything to extend the influence of his own Chamber of Commerce, and used this kind of subordinate means, which is really despicable!" ”…,
"Yes, this kind of thing, only we people in the Holy Gate can do it, he is a merchant in Luoyang, although he has some fame and status, he also dares to take food in the tiger's mouth?"
Gao Xu's face darkened when he said this, he laughed twice, rubbed his hands and said: "Virtuous nephew, actually, Uncle Shi is now a low-key person, so some things are not easy to come forward, so they will be taken advantage of. ”
"Uncle Shi's words are reasonable, domineering and exposed!" When Gao Xu heard this, he really gave a thumbs up and admired, and after thinking about it, his face was filled with joy again, and he said with a little excitement, "Since Uncle Shi is inconvenient, how about letting the little nephew come forward, go and meet Rong Fengxiang of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce for a while, and see if he really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!" ”
"And voila! Jump in yourself......" An Long was proud in his heart, a young talent with strength and brains like Gao Xu, when he first came out of the rivers and lakes, his favorite thing was this kind of thing, as the capital to become famous, not to mention how active he was to take care of things.
"Virtuous nephew, that Rong Fengxiang has already left Hefei yesterday......" As soon as he said this, Gao Xu's brows suddenly wrinkled, and An Long hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "But his beautiful daughter Rong Jiaojiao in Luoyang hasn't left, let's make an appointment to meet her tomorrow, what do you think?" ”
"Rong Jiaojiao? Luoyang Shuangyan? I've heard of it in the Dragon Gang before! The corners of Gao Xu's mouth curled up when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face that seemed very obscene/cheap in An Long's eyes, and he nodded again and again, "Okay, the little nephew will go for Uncle Shi!" ”
"Okay!" An Long patted Gao Xu's shoulder, revealing a tacit look in a man's eyes, and waved his hand to order his subordinates to arrange a guest room for Gao Xu.
Who knew that at this time, Gao Xu spoke again: "The little nephew has an idea, Miss Rong is such a beautiful woman, the first time we meet, it would be too rude to leave empty-handed, how about sending a mirror?" ”
"You, you, you haven't met yet, so you're worried about it?" An Long smiled and said, "According to the meaning of the virtuous nephew, I will immediately order someone to prepare!" ”
"Uncle Shi, please rest assured, the little nephew will not disappoint you tomorrow!" Gao Xu bowed and saluted, and the strange look that flashed in his eyes was not seen by An Long, and An Long never thought that he would use Gao Xu as a pawn, and what kind of disaster and bloody rain Zuihou had caused!
