Night

Thunderclouds gather in the sky,

Lightning streaked through the clouds.

In an instant, the downpour fell.

Outside the roadside inn, there was a knock on the gate.

I just knocked for a while, and soon I saw someone coming, and the person who knocked on the door kicked the door directly.

A group of more than a dozen people walked into the post station.

"My lord, I've checked it all, this post has been vacant for a long time." Tang Qi hugged his fists.

Lin Mang sat on the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the heavy rain outside the house, and sighed lightly: "The drought has been raining for a long time, but it is too late. ”

There has been no rain for more than half a year in many places in the lake, and there has been a severe drought for several days, and there is no harvest of grains.

Now the people are revolting, but it is raining heavily.

Lin Mang retracted his gaze, turned his head and asked, "How long is it until Xiangyang Mansion?" ”

Tang Qi was lighting the oil lamp and hurriedly replied: "I can arrive in half a day." ”

"This evening, my brother Feiying in Xiangyang sent a message and found out that the political envoy of Hu Guangbu was in Xiangyang Mansion."

Lin Mang sneered: "He's running pretty fast!" ”

Xiangyang went out again, and it went out of the Huguang boundary.

At this moment, seven or eight people suddenly broke into outside the post station, some old and some young, with yellow faces and thin muscles.

Seeing Lin Mang and his party, those people also seemed to be startled, standing outside the door and hesitating.

"My lord, it should be a refugee."

Lin Mangyan glanced at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said calmly: "Let them come in." ”

Tang Qi nodded, turned around and walked out.

Tang Qi talked with them for a while, and then a few people outside the door cautiously walked into the hall.

Lin Mang said quietly: "I don't know which way you are on?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the field!

Tang Qi and the others looked even more vigilant, holding the knife in one hand, ready to unsheath it at any time.

However, the refugees were still dazed and frightened, and an old man trembled and said, "What are you talking about, this lord?" ”

Lin Mang smiled angrily.

clapped his hands and applauded: "Your acting skills are really good." ”

"But ......"

Lin Mang looked at one of the young women dressed as refugees with a playful expression, and sneered: "It's raining so hard outside, your shoes are clean, it's too much to say, right?" ”

"Why are there always some people in this world who like to take others for fools?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at the woman standing in the middle, and sure enough, her shoes were not stained with the slightest soil.

The others, on the other hand, had mud on their trouser legs.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Several people looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Holy Maiden, you love cleanliness and score occasions.

Bai Wanying coughed lightly, and everyone quickly withdrew their gaze.

Bai Wanying looked at Lin Mang with a smile on her face: "Lord Lin is really alert. ”

Bai Wanying walked out slowly, bowed slightly, and had a shallow smile on her face: "I came here tonight to borrow something from Lord Lin." ”

"Boom!"

Before the words fell, Lin Mang had already drawn his knife out of its sheath, and its speed was as fast as lightning.

I saw a brilliant sword light passing by.

The body of the person in front of him instantly split in two, and the body parted in unison.

"You can't take my life!"

The cold voice exploded in everyone's ears.

Everyone was shocked.

Almost at the same time, Lin Mang's blade turned and slashed sideways.

"Poof!"

With a sound of flesh tearing, the head of a middle-aged man flew out.

In the blink of an eye, two of the eight had been lost.

Lin Mang stepped down, his body turned, and he kicked out with a reluctant face, as if a hurricane was born under his feet.

Aeolus legs!

One person snorted, his chest exploded, and the whole person flew upside down and rushed out of the station.

The pure yang true qi between the fists condensed, and the fist mark of the Gang Zhimeng hit the other person's chest.

The blazing pure yang true fire burns.

In an instant, the man disappeared into the pure yang true fire.

This sudden scene stunned everyone.

There was a hint of fear in everyone's eyes, and they were filled with anger.

How can it be so strong?!

Bai Wanying's expression was slightly condensed, and she scolded in a low voice in her heart.

Where did all this information come from?

This kid said that he was a grandmaster, and she believed it.

The few people I just killed were all Tiangang Realm martial artists!

Although it is only the first time to enter Tiangang, and it is cultivated with the secret method of empowerment, after all, it is also the Tiangang realm, which is not comparable to the ordinary true qi realm.

In just one photo, four people died.

Everyone didn't see that when Lin Mang used his martial arts, there was a trace of heaven and earth vitality surging around.

A few of the remaining people were killed, and one of them had a palm like fine iron, glowing a little black.

Broken jade hands!

But in Lin Mang's eyes, his moves are now full of loopholes.

With one palm, he struck upward, and the surrounding True Qi formed a huge whirlpool.

Yin and Yang are reversed!

The world has shifted!

Almost instantly, Lin Mang's palm turned pitch black at the same time.

Two palms touch!

"Boom!"

The man flew straight upside down, his arm exploding.

Immediately after, a cold white sword light slashed through!

The extremely fast blade is approaching quickly.

Ling Yan's knife qi is coming!

Suddenly, a sword and a sword struck from the shadows.

That sword was extremely tricky, pointing directly at Lin Mang's heart.

The other knife was powerful and slashed.

Lin Mang's cold gaze swept over.

The magic knife intent boiled.

A transparent magic knife condensed in an instant, and finally became a knife.

"Poof!"

With a slash, the figures of the two exploded, drowning in the terrifying knife aura, and blood splattered everywhere.

Seeing this, Bai Wanying quickly retreated and fled under the rain curtain.

Damn it!

Previously, Lin Mang had been staying in Chengtian Mansion, and there was a large army there, so they never made a move.

chased him all the way to this place, thinking that it was a matter of getting caught, but I never thought that it was a failure.

"Lord Lin!"

"Mountains and rivers meet, we will see you again."

Before Bai Wanying left, she didn't forget to drop a cruel word.

She secretly vowed that next time she would bring someone more powerful.

Lin Mang slashed the last person with a knife, looking at Bai Wanying who was leaving, but smiled coldly.

Majestic pure Yang Tiangang true qi gradually accumulated on his legs.

Heavy rain was steaming under the true air.

White fog rises into the sky.

"Boom!"

With a shocking roar, the bluestone floor in the courtyard exploded, and Lin Mang's figure flew out like an arrow from the string, dragging out a long phantom under the night.

Around him, a bursting tornado was condensed, as swift as a forest.

Wudang Tiyun is victorious in light skills, but Fengshen legs are better in the word "fast".

Lin Mang chased after Bai Wanying like a lightning speed.

The sharp sword aura was like a cold mang.

Bai Wanying glanced at it hurriedly, and her heart suddenly tightened.

A whirlpool suddenly flashed in her eyes, and as she ran, she looked back at Lin Mang.

White Lotus Pure World True Secret Solution!

But the next moment, Lin Mang's eyes also showed a whirlpool.

Although the Dafa of Obsession is not a top-notch spiritual secret method, it is also a secret transmission of the Shifting Flower Palace, so it is naturally not weak, and he has cultivated to the fullest.

On the other hand, Bai Wanying's cultivation of the White Lotus Pure World True Secret Method, although the grade is high, she is only a beginner now.

The two collide and make a judgment!

Bai Wanying's heart was shocked, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Mang suddenly frowned slightly.

In the distant rain curtain, a figure rushed quickly.

One hundred meters in one step!

Seeing the figure, Bai Wanying's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said, "Zuo envoy, save me-"

Before the words fell, an extremely terrifying killing machine was already brewing behind him.

A fierce, demonic aura spreads everywhere.

Lin Mang's eyes gradually turned scarlet.

The power of the Consummation Demon Sword has long exceeded the limit of the strength that the Tiangang Realm martial artists can exert.

A knife slashed down in anger.

The vitality of the eight directions converges.

The domineering sword intent dragged the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to come.

On the blade of the knife, a fierce knife aura nearly twenty zhang long condensed.

In the distance, the left envoy Tong Kong who rushed to attack shrank slightly, and exclaimed: "Grandmaster's intention! ”

It's not that no one can comprehend the meaning of the grandmaster in the Tiangang Realm, but there are very few such characters in the entire rivers and lakes.

"Boy!"

"If you kill her, we will be with you forever!"

A slightly angry voice came from the rain.

Lin Mang's expression was indifferent, but the knife in his hand did not hesitate at all.

Bai Wanying's figure was quickly submerged in the sword aura.

The clothes around the body are shattered inch by inch!

The knife qi cut countless wounds on his body, and blood was dripping.

In an instant, the left envoy of the White Lotus Sect stepped forward, and there seemed to be something in his palm, and he pressed it down with one palm.

"Peng!"

The waves of air swept in all directions.

The ground around is instantly full of holes, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal.

"What a strong sword qi!"

The left envoy of the white lotus showed a frightened look on his face, picked up Bai Wanying, and threw something out of his sleeve.

The pitch-black ball flew towards Lin Mang with lightning speed.

Lin Mang's heart was immediately shocked.

"Heavenly Thunder!"

He recognized it.

With a light footstep, he quickly fled into the distance.

"Boom!"

With an earth-shattering explosion, the ground was like an earth dragon turning over, and a layer was lifted hard, and the broken stones and dirt flew out in all directions.

In the blast of the explosion, steel needles flew out.

A piercing sound whistled through the air.

A golden giant bell appeared around Lin Mang's body, and the pure yang qi was all over the place.

It took a few steps back in quick succession to stabilize his body.

Billowing smoke and dust rise.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, Lin Mang's face was slightly gloomy, and he reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

This group of guys even has the Heavenly Thunder Son of Thunderbolt Hall, and the key is really willing.

This thing is the secret weapon of the Thunderbolt Hall in the south of the Yangtze River, which is comparable to the rainstorm pear flower needle of the Tang Gate of Xishu, which flows out of the rivers and lakes every year, but there are only a few, but the power is extremely great.

The power of a Heavenly Thunderbolt explosion was comparable to the full force of Tiangang Jiuzhong's blow.

"It's quite a big life!"

The system didn't prompt it, indicating that the guy wasn't dead.

"The next time we meet, you won't have such good luck!"

Lin Mang quickly turned back to the post station.

……

The White Lotus Left Envoy fled thousands of meters with Bai Wanying in his arms, and then stopped.

She was very glad that she had cultivated an electric light divine step, otherwise she would have to be buried here today.

The left envoy threw out a robe to cover Bai Wanying's body, and took out a pill to help her swallow it.

Immediately, several palms slapped on Bai Wanying's body one after another, and a steady stream of true qi was instilled into it.

But soon, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her face was extremely solemn.

"What the hell is this really angry, so weird?"

After her true qi was sent into the body of the saint, it was all burned and eaten.

Those true qi continued to burn the meridians of the holy woman, true qi.

"It seems that I can only ask the master to help."

The white lotus left envoy muttered to herself, picked up Bai Wanying and left quickly.

……

Xiangyang Mansion,

Prefect's yamen, inner hall.

In the beautifully decorated room, a group of people pushed cups and changed lamps, which was very lively.

At the top of it sat a slightly bloated middle-aged man, and the chair under him was one size larger.

On either side of his head, there were two middle-aged men, one of whom was wearing the official uniform of the prefect, it was the prefect of Xiangyang Prefecture, Wu Shan.

As for the other person, a seat in white with an elegant face, is the Huguang family, the head of the Murong family, and Murong Shiqing.

Murong Shiqing raised his glass and smiled: "Lord Yan, if this martial arts conference is held successfully, you can be said to have made great contributions." ”

"Presumably the imperial court will transfer you to Beijing, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is just around the corner."

"Haha!"

Hearing this, Yan Chengcheng, the political envoy of Hu Guangbu, who was sitting on the main seat, laughed and said, "The head of the Murong family laughed. ”

"This Huguang rebellion, as a political envoy, did not find out in time, it is really ashamed, and now I only hope that the martial arts conference can be successfully held and can contribute to the suppression of the chaos."

The Xiangyang prefect on the side said with a smile: "My lord, if you are a good official for the country and the people, how can the imperial court not pay attention to it." ”

"I heard that the position of the squire of the military department is vacant now, if you can enter Beijing, there will be a position for you."

Yan Chengcheng's eyes slowly narrowed into a line, and he said with a smile: "With the qualifications of this official, how can he serve as a squire in the military department." ”

Murong Shiqing smiled, raised his glass and said, "With such merits, isn't that seat in the pocket of an adult." ”

Murong Shiqing clapped his hands lightly, and soon a person came outside the door, with a brocade box in his hand.

Murong Shiqing took the brocade box and said with a smile: "A small gift, I should wish the adult a high promotion in advance." ”

Yan Cheng slowly put down the wine glass, opened it and glanced at it, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"The head of the Murong family really has a heart."

Murong Shiqing smiled: "It's good if the adults are satisfied." ”

"It's just...... About Xiangyang, Jingzhou fields, and the matter of the leader of the martial arts alliance this time......"

Yan Zheng took the brocade box and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid this is not enough." ”

Murong Shiqing secretly scolded in his heart, he was really greedy enough.

This damn fat man can't be fed at all!

However, he still laughed and said, "Lord Yan, you might as well go to the room and take a look later, I think the adults will like it." ”

The whole Huguang is well known, and the political envoys of Huguang are strict and greedy for money.

Yan Zhengxing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he got up with a smile on his face: "The head of the Murong family has a heart!" ”

"The official still has important matters, so I will not accompany him."

Seeing Yan Cheng leave, the smile on Murong Shiqing's face disappeared.

Wu Shan frowned and said, "Murong Family Master, why do you value this Yan Zheng so much? ”

What he had said earlier was nothing more than a compliment.

I don't know how many people are staring at the position of the squire of the military department, how can it be so easy.

Murong Shiqing said meaningfully: "Although this guy is greedy, the relationship behind him is not weak. ”

"Few people know that today's Tobe Shangshu is his teacher, and this faction is also very powerful in the court, so it is not so easy to fall."

"Don't look at this guy as greedy, more than half of his money was sent to the hands of the court officials, and those people had to protect him."

"He took my money, which is equivalent to leaving a handle, and with this person in the future, it will be more convenient for us to act."

Wu Shan suddenly realized: "It's still the head of the Murong family who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Murong Shiqing smiled, turned around and walked out.

……

Day 2, Pinghu Villa.

Pinghu Villa was originally a second-rate force in Xiangyang Mansion, and its name was not well known, but today it is like a city.

Outside the villa, there are constantly leaders of the Jianghu sect who lead their disciples to come.

In the open space in the center of the villa, a high platform has already been erected.

Around the high platform, there are stands.

With the passage of time, more and more martial arts people gathered.

Among them, there are some famous figures in Huguang martial arts.

Soon, a man with an elegant face walked on the high platform, it was the head of the Murong family, Murong Shiqing.

"Everyone!"

Murong Shiqing said with a smile: "Welcome all martial arts compatriots to participate in today's martial arts conference. ”

Outside the field, a burly man sat on a chair with a golden sword, and said coldly: "Murong family master, you can tell me anything clearly, don't beat around the bush." ”

"I heard that there are two rare treasures in this conference, so let's talk about what they are."

Murong Shiqing smiled and said, "Iron Hall Master, please wait for a while." ”

Then he looked at everyone and said: "You all know that now there is a rebellion in Huguang and Jiangxi, which can be described as a poor livelihood for the people. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience immediately discussed.

Someone shouted loudly: "Master Murong, you didn't say in this post that it was to quell the chaos. ”

Most of these Jianghu martial arts sects are hanging high and unconcerned about themselves.

They won't go to the rebellion, and they won't put down any rebellion.

And those chaotic armies will not attack the major factions, which is equivalent to an invisible potential tacit understanding.

Now if there is a peace, they want to break this tacit agreement, and they don't want to get involved in this matter.

Some people stood up directly and said, "If this is the case, then I will take my leave." ”

"Everyone, wait!"

Murong Shiqing hurriedly shouted to stop everyone, and said apologetically: "There is a reason for the incident, please forgive me." ”

"I have negotiated cooperation with Lord Yan, the political envoy of Hu Guangbu, if you can contribute to quelling the rebellion, you can obtain the right to govern the trade route in the future, and you can also ask for a reward for you."

Demon Museum

There was a shock at first, and soon everyone's eyes became hot.

"Murong Family Master, are you serious?"

Murong Shiqing nodded with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you can't trust my Murong family?" ”

The group that had planned to leave also hesitated.

The right to govern trade routes is a great benefit.

Murong Shiqing took in everyone's expressions, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

Fake, of course!

How could the imperial court let go of the power to govern the trade routes.

Even if you really do this, it will not be possible to release it to so many sects.

But when they get on the boat, it's hard to get off the boat.

He knew that there were many sects that had not come today, but as long as his plan succeeded, those sects would eventually have to succumb in the face of the general situation.

Murong Shiqing smiled and said: "Everyone, my Murong family has obtained two treasures, and today I will hold a martial arts conference to elect the leader of my Huguang Martial Arts Alliance, and I am willing to present these two treasures." ”

As the words fell, the two disciples of the Murong family came with a tray.

Murong Shiqing lifted the white cloth on it and said, "First, it was obtained by the ancestor of my Murong family by accident, the Ming Sect Holy Fire Order!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience gasped.

This is a treasure of Mingjiao!

Soon, Murong Shiqing continued: "This second ......"

Murong Shiqing deliberately sold a pass, and said quietly: "It's a Tianshan Snow Lotus!" ”

As the red cloth was lifted, one of the crystal clear lotus flowers came into view.

The crowd was once again in a state of panic.

What a big deal!

Someone exclaimed: "Murong family master, are you really willing to hand over these two things to the new alliance leader?" ”

"That's right." Murong Shiqing nodded affirmatively, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said meaningfully: "I don't know if any of you are willing to serve as the leader of this alliance?" ”

The room became quiet.

Everyone knows that the position of the leader of this alliance is not so easy to sit.

"Since there is no one, then I might as well take the position of the leader of the alliance!"

Suddenly, an extremely calm voice came from outside the courtyard, but it was like thunder rolling in the sky, shocking people's hearts.

One person is coming!

A four-clawed flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife are extremely eye-catching.

Behind him, a group of brocade guards were full of slaughter!

One step down, has reached the high platform.

There is even an extra Holy Flame Order and a Tianshan Snow Lotus in his hand.

Murong Shiqing was stunned.

Who are you?
