Chapter 414: Tempting Each Other
Although Sheng Moming is only the righteous son of Sheng Lingren, his martial arts are far inferior to his father, and his status is slightly lower than that of his eldest brother. However, he played an important role in the temple.
Sheng Zhiqiang is Sheng Lingren's biological son after all, and he is Sheng Mo's eldest brother, his status is slightly higher than Sheng Mo's, but it is also very normal. It's just that in terms of ability, Sheng Zhiqiang is far inferior to Sheng Inexplicable. Between Sheng Ling and Sheng Zhiqiang, there is a common weakness, that is, they are very greedy for women.
It's just that Sheng Ling people are older after all, or they still know how to stop in moderation, but Sheng Zhiqiang is too young, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself well, so he is naturally prone to wandering, and he often misses big things because of this.
The last case of Guanyin should have been dispatched by Sheng Zhiqiang in person. But Xue Qianhe just got two twin sisters by his side, and he didn't even want to get out of bed for a day, so he didn't pay close attention to this matter, and finally revealed many flaws.
In this case, the contradiction between the temple and the imperial court has also been secretly stimulated, and sooner or later there will be a vicious fight. It's just that now they are holding each other down, and no one is sure of victory, so no one dares to make the first move.
The emperor and King Xiao had just grasped power, but Sheng Lingren used the beauty trick first to confuse the emperor first, which made King Xiao suddenly appear more passive.
Sheng Lingren was ambitious, and at this time, he not only wanted to dominate the rivers and lakes, but also dreamed of being an emperor.
Because Sheng Moming had the best relationship with King Xiao, Sheng Ling people sent Sheng Moming to test King Xiao. Sheng Lingren guessed in his heart that at this time, King Xiao had probably reacted that the beauty Li Ying was a trump card he arranged by the emperor's side. It's just that he wasn't sure yet, so he asked Sheng to come and find out inexplicably.
Sheng Moming is not only the righteous son of Sheng Lingren, but also his only military advisor and the most powerful assistant. Although Sheng Zhiqiang is his biological son, he actually trusts this righteous son more.
He is calm, resourceful, and resolute, and has a very similar personality to Sheng Lingren. Moreover, he is not good at being a woman, which is a big advantage compared to his father and eldest brother.
It's just that Sheng inexplicably came here today, just in time for King Xiao and many heroes to be eating and drinking, so he didn't say a word about what he was going to say.
However, for a smart person like Sheng Moming, a lot of hidden information doesn't need to be told by others at all, as long as he takes a little glance, he can already understand the mystery. Although he didn't really say a serious word to King Xiao, it was all polite words at the wine table, but he was not completely without gains.
The most important thing is that he found a person, a person who shouldn't be here - Tang Sitian, the second hero of the Tang Sect.
Sheng Mo had already known that the people of Tangmen and Xiaoyaomen were still living in Zhuozhou. But now, Tang Sitian suddenly appeared in King Xiao's mansion, which was obviously not good news for their temple.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that in order to develop their own power, the four major families have always been at odds with each other and contain each other. The biggest set of contradictions between the four major families today is between the Tang Gate and the Temple. Tang Sitian's appearance in King Xiao's Mansion at this time means that King Xiao wants to join forces with the Tang Sect to deal with their temple together?
If that's the case, I'm afraid they'll be in big trouble. King Xiao has military power in his hands, and the Tang Sect has many masters, and these two strong families have joined forces to completely suppress all the advantages of their temple.
Although Sheng didn't say much to King Xiao, he still discovered such an important information. He was hurrying back to the temple to inform his father about it. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind him, as if someone was following him.
Sheng was inexplicably very alert, and soon found out that there was not only one person behind him who was following him, but two or three first-class masters, and their skills were not below him.
In this capital, the people who dare to follow him boldly are naturally people with some background. After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, their temple is the head snake in the capital, and other Jianghu sects want to fight with them in the capital, but I am afraid that no one can have the upper hand yet.
Sheng pretended not to know inexplicably, and only quickened his pace, but suddenly changed the route home, and did not take the avenue again, but only went into the alleys and alleys in the city.
The two behind him still didn't give up, and still followed him closely. Sheng inexplicably suddenly smiled contemptuously, and when the night suddenly flashed, the figure disappeared immediately.
The footsteps approached again, and became more and more urgent, but only one person followed, just in time to the place where Sheng disappeared inexplicably. Sheng inexplicably hid in the dark to take a look, but saw that the person was covered with a black veil, and he couldn't tell who it was at all.
When the masked man saw him disappear suddenly, he was obviously a little anxious, and he only looked around, but still found nothing. It's just that what made Sheng inexplicably more surprised was that he obviously heard that at least two people were following him behind him, but only one of them came out, which showed how calm the other person was, and it was even more difficult to deal with. Or, these people have been negotiated at all, and only one person shows up, while the others are still hiding in the shadows, also just in case.
"The first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers." Sheng couldn't care so much inexplicably, if the two of them found out and besieged him together, they would be even more passive at that time. It's better to sneak attack one now, and then one-on-one, the odds of winning will definitely be much greater.
Sheng is inexplicably a delicate person who dares to do things, and he expects that these two will definitely not be his friends, so he plans to strike first.
His figure flashed, and suddenly a holy fist was struck, and it was aimed at the man's back.
The man's reaction was very fast, and his skills were not weak, so he only turned back sharply, and hurriedly slapped a palm, just blocking Sheng's inexplicable punch. Sheng inexplicably preemptively struck, although he did not hit the enemy hard, but his fist strength also shook the man out, and hit a wall in the alley with a "boom", but knocked out a big hole in the wall.
Sheng Moming originally thought that the man was not dead and had been seriously injured, but he didn't want the person to crawl out of the collapsed bricks and soil immediately, and only coughed twice, but he seemed to be fine. At least judging from the look on his face, even if he suffered internal injuries, it should not be very serious.
"This man is so powerful! I punched me in a hurry, and I was able to stand up, which is really unusual! Sheng thought of this inexplicably, but he didn't intend to stop there, the holy fist hit again, but both fists came out together, and he attacked the man again.
The man ate Sheng's inexplicable punch, and sure enough, his true qi was not smooth, probably because the valve was injured, so he didn't dare to take Sheng's inexplicably strong holy fist again, so he only retreated while fighting, and used the Shaolin faction's Arhat boxing method to counterattack from time to time. Sheng inexplicably knew that the man used ordinary Shaolin Arhat Boxing, so he naturally wanted to hide his martial arts skills, and he didn't want him to see the details.
However, Sheng also knew that if he went all out, even if that person used real kung fu, he might not necessarily be able to defeat him. Not to mention that now that he is injured, he still wants to hide his martial arts path, but it is impossible.
Sheng inexplicably thought of this, and his fist suddenly became more powerful, only "Huhu" punched several times one after another, and suddenly knocked out two big holes in the walls on both sides of the alley.
The man couldn't resist Sheng's inexplicable holy fist at all, so he had to retreat one after another, and suddenly found that there were many bamboo poles of different lengths on the corner of the wall next to him, so he threw out a short bamboo pole first, and it also attacked Sheng inexplicably with strong force.
Sheng sneered inexplicably, and reached out to grab it, but he had just caught the bamboo pole, but he heard a wind sound, and another long bamboo pole was slashing at him.
Sheng reacted very quickly inexplicably, only used the short bamboo pole he had just caught to block it, only to hear a "click" sound, and his bamboo pole was interrupted instantly. It turned out that when the other party made a move, she had already poured real power into her bamboo pole, and she blocked it casually, but she happened to fall into the other party's arms, and the bamboo pole in her hand was split at once. Sheng inexplicably screamed that it was not good, and only dodged sideways, so as not to hit his head with a bamboo pole. However, although he avoided the bamboo pole on his head, because he was too late, he still ate a rod on his right shoulder, and he was immediately knocked to the ground.
Sheng inexplicably reluctantly got up, and when he was about to make another move, he suddenly heard a shout: "Second son, slow down, someone wants to see you." ”
It was the masked man who had injured him just now, and his voice was still a little familiar.
"Who?"
"It's me." At this time, a person suddenly walked out of the alley and said, it was actually Xiao Wangye, there was a person next to him, but he was happy in defeat, and the masked man just now immediately showed his true face, which was another Cheng Shi worry of success or failure.
"Lord Wang, why are you here?" Sheng asked inexplicably with some horror.
"It was inconvenient to speak just now, so this king deliberately pretended to be drunk and wanted to come out to talk to you, but he didn't want to cause your misunderstanding." King Xiao said with some embarrassment.
"Could it be that the prince has something to look for me?" Sheng spoke inexplicably, but he was very careful.
"Huh! Didn't you come to me at night when you came to visit? King Xiao asked with a little meaning.
"Oh! Actually, there is nothing to do in the next place, but I just happened to pass by, and I came to visit the prince by the way. Sheng was inexplicable but still perfunctory.
"Oh! Really? There are a lot of martial arts people in the city these days, inexplicably haven't you seen any suspicious people? Xiao Wang's tone became more and more strange.
"Hmmm! What is the prince referring to? Sheng asked inexplicably, a little confused.
"For example...... Hu people. King Xiao dragged his feet for a while before finally saying the last two sentences.
Sheng inexplicably heard the word "Hu people", but he seemed unusually calm, and only said: "Jingshi is important, how can there be Hu people, doesn't the prince laugh?" ”
"You really didn't see it?"
"Naturally, no." Sheng replied inexplicably and calmly.
"Alright! It's okay, you go back first! Be careful on the road. King Xiao suddenly changed his words, as if he hadn't said anything just now.
"Huh! That prince, then inexplicably said goodbye first. Sheng said inexplicably, then turned around and walked away slowly.
After Sheng walked away inexplicably, Cheng Shiwu asked: "Lord Wang, didn't you ask him like this just now, isn't it tantamount to telling Sheng Lingren that we are already suspecting him of colluding with Hu Ren?" ”
"This king just wants him to know, and this king is afraid that he doesn't know, and this king is already suspicious of him." King Xiao suddenly said in a very decisive tone.
"What does the prince mean by this?" Defeated Huan asked.
"If they don't act, how can they show their flaws, and how can this king take him?" Xiao Wang's tone was even more cold, and even a little murderous.
