Chapter 188: Each Has Its Own Victory and Defeat
Xu Zhitang and the three of them have good internal strength, and they have done a lot of work, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye. At this time, the good day and the beautiful scenery also flew in. When Mrs. Wang saw that it was Feiyun and the others, she asked, "It turned out to be you, how did you come here?" ”
Feiyun hurriedly saluted Mrs. Wang, told Mrs. Wang about her escort of Wu Zetian, and asked Mrs. Wang how she had exchanged hands with Xu Zhitang and the others.
Mrs. Wang just said that she was going to Luoyang, but she didn't expect Xu Zhitang and the three of them to suddenly block the road. As soon as the two sides disagreed, they moved their hands.
Feiyun knew that Old Madam Wang had been taking the Wang family with her and was secretly protecting Wu Zetian, but she didn't want to admit it. Feiyun didn't say anything more about it, and asked how Yunduo's injuries were and what he planned to do next.
Old Madam Wang waved her hand, and saw a group of people coming out of the woods. Feiyun took a closer look, and it was Wang Nan, Yunduo, and Huahua and the others. After everyone saluted each other, Mrs. Wang said that she would continue to move forward, but asked Feiyun not to go with them.
Liangchen understood that Mrs. Wang was going to open the way in front, so he agreed to her, saying that the three of them would secretly follow them in case of accidents. Old Madam Wang nodded, led the Wang family, and continued to the north.
Liangchen immediately asked Meijing to go back and tell Wu Wei that he could follow slowly, but not too closely. Meijing answered, turned away, and Feiyun and Liangchen quietly followed behind Old Madam Wang and continued north.
Mrs. Wang and her party didn't walk long before they were stopped by a group of people. Mrs. Wang took a closer look, and among them was an old man in his fifties and sixties, Xu Zhitang was standing on the left, and Huang Yuxian was standing on the right. This time, Huang Yuxian did not mask and showed his true face.
Old Madam Wang snorted coldly and said, "Xu Zhitang, why are you still in the way and come to block the way." Let me tell you, even if our Wang family dies, we will not be slaves! ”
Huang Yuxian smiled slightly and said, "Old Madam Wang, in Xia Huang Yuxian, is also from Lingnan. I have heard the prestige of the Wang family for a long time, and I have always wanted to see it. ”
Old Madam Wang naturally had also heard of Huang Yuxian's reputation and knew that she was a master of the Danxia faction. When Mrs. Wang saw her and Xu Zhitang together, she knew that she also had an enmity with Wu Zetian.
Old Madam Wang thought for a while and asked, "Huang Nuxia, what do you want, you might as well open the skylight and say something!" ”
Huang Yuxian smiled slightly and said, "Old Madam Wang, we want to compete with your Wang family for five games. If you win, we'll let you go. If you lose, just promise to do one thing for me. ”
Yang Xuefeng said: "Okay, let's play five games, which side wins more, even if it is the winner, what do you think?" Li Xianglan nodded and agreed: "Yes." But the losing side must obey the other party's orders from now on! When Yang Xuefeng heard this, his face changed slightly. Although he and Yang Xuelian had such psychological preparations before, they were still a little surprised when Li Xianglan said it seriously. It seems that this dragon and phoenix gate is bound to be obtained, and it is prepared.
Yang Xuefeng stared at Li Xianglan for a while, and said slowly: "If we win, does it mean that the gambling house will also obey our orders?" Li Xianglan smiled and said, "Are you worried that we can't make decisions for them?" This rest assured, even we will have to be obedient when the time comes, let alone them? Yang Xuefeng glanced at Niu Ba and said, "It's better to let the owner of the cattle shop make his own statement clear!" ”
Li Xianglan beckoned to Niu Ba, but Niu Ba had no choice but to hurry to her side. The conversation between Li Xianglan and Yang Xuefeng just now was very loud, and the people standing in front of both sides could hear it clearly. Of course Niu Ba was unwilling in his heart, but the current situation was completely beyond his control. If he doesn't agree, it is obvious that Longfengmen will directly destroy him if he doesn't give face to Longfengmen, or just leave. If he agreed, the result would be that the gambling house would become someone else's subordinate.
Niu Ba had seen the martial arts of the Li family brothers and sisters, and he could see that they were ruthless, so he didn't dare to deny it on the spot, so he could only say: "Young Master Yang, since the gambling house has invited Miss Li to come forward, her words can naturally represent the Jinling gambling house." He said yes, but he was a little clever. He's talking about the casino, not the people in the casino. His wishful thinking was that as a last resort, he abandoned the gambling house, quietly left with people, and started from scratch in a different place!
Yang Xuefeng thought for a while, and then said to Li Xianglan: "Although the gambling house agreed, your Longfeng Gate did not open a mountain in Jinling at all, and you came and went mysteriously. Even if we win, where are we going to find you to deliver on your promises? You know, we have a restaurant after all! Li Xianglan smiled slightly and said, "The leader of the Boat Gang is the master of the Dragon Gate of this sect, how can he not find us?" Such a bet is actually cheaper for you. If you win, you can get the gambling house and the boat gang. If we win, we will get you a smoke and rain restaurant. ”
Yang Xuefeng hesitated for a moment and said, "The stakes are very high, we must discuss it!" Li Xianglan bowed her head slightly and said, "Yes, we can wait for you for a while, but we must give an answer as soon as possible!" Yang Xuefeng agreed, and then turned around and returned to Yang Xuelian's side. At the same time, Li Xianglan and Niu Ba also returned to Li Zhen.
After Li Xianglan made it clear just now that the loser should obey the winner's order, Liangchen's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said to Liu Shui: "Young master, this matter is troublesome. It seems that I have to use the power of the government! Liu Shui also felt that the situation was serious, if these three factions merged into one, it would be a super powerful gang. Not only are they numerous, but they also basically control several industries in Jinling. Once they have a different heart, it is very difficult to deal with! Liu Shui looked at Liangchen with a serious expression and said, "Then what can you do to deal with it?" ”
Liangchen said: "There are two or three hundred people on either side of them, and each of them has many masters. With a dozen of us alone, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them. Officers and soldiers could only be brought in, and gambling and fighting were forbidden in the name of not fighting in private. Disputes between them are decided by the government. If they don't agree, then suppress it by force. Although it can't be captured in one go, it can at least weaken their strength! ”
Liu Shui secretly thought that it seemed that this could only be the case at present, so he said: "Since this is the case, then you take a few people to rush to the Jiedu Envoy Yamen immediately, and let the prefect send troops to you!" Liangchen said, "Young Master, there is one more thing. If I can't get back before they get the winner, you're going to have to stop them from playing anyway. Before they split the last game of the win or loss, stop it and stall for time! ”
Liu Shui nodded and said, "You can rest assured that this is it." In order to ensure your safety, I let Meijing and Mr. Wan escort you. Liu Shui understands that these days have been good days to deal with the prefect, and she is smart and witty, and can adapt to changes, so she can only send her to transfer troops to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Liangchen said: "The beautiful scenery must stay with you, otherwise I will not worry." There is already a shortage of manpower here, and Mr. Wan should also stay. Please come with me, the two girls Hua Hao and the full moon, they are locals and are naturally familiar with shortcuts! ”
Liu Shui knew that Liangchen was worried that she would not be able to return in time, and Liu Shui forcibly intervened, and he would definitely be besieged by these three parties. The beautiful scenery and the martial arts of Wanlilang are strong, and they will definitely be able to help Liu Shui. Although Hua Hao and Yueyuan have greatly improved their martial arts under the guidance of Liu Shui, Qixia Sect and others, they are undoubtedly the weakest compared to others. To escort Liangchen, it is very appropriate to arrive. Liu Shui has always been obedient to Liangchen's words, and immediately invited Wan Lilang and the two girls over and briefly explained the current arrangements.
Since Liu Shui spoke, Wan Lilang naturally had no objections. Although Hua Hao and the full moon were reluctant, they knew that Liangchen's trip was a heavy responsibility and could not be missed. The two immediately agreed, saying that they would definitely send the good day safely! Liu Shui was overjoyed, so he asked someone to bring the four horses sent by Qixia and handed them over to the three of Liangchen. Liangchen and the others didn't dare to delay time, so they hurriedly flew on their horses and galloped away with their whips.
After the three of them left, Liu Shui called everyone together and told everyone about the current situation. Liu Shui made it clear that if someone didn't want to get involved, they could leave immediately. After all, it is very likely that they will be outnumbered and hold out until the officers and troops arrive, which is extremely risky. As soon as Liu Shui's voice fell, everyone said in unison that they wanted to advance and retreat with Liu Shui. Liu Shui was overjoyed and thanked everyone. He told the people in detail about his plans, and told them to act according to their plans and not to act on their own.
At the same time, the people of Longfeng Gate were also nervously discussing. Baili Feng and Nangong Tao were very opposed, and felt that they couldn't put the treasure on top of this competition. The White Lotus Sect has gone through several generations of exhaustive efforts of the Yang family to have its current scale, and if the competition is lost, the foundation of the Yang family will be destroyed. Yang Xuelian said: "Don't worry, I don't think there is any special person on the other side." Out of five games, I believe we can win at least three. On the other side, there are just two more masters, Li Zhen and Li Xianglan, don't worry! Yang Xuelian had already intended to subdue the gambling house, but at this moment, when she saw the opportunity to annex Longfeng Gate, she was naturally excited
Although Ruoxue also followed Li Zhen, Yang Xuelian didn't know her, so she didn't take her seriously. After Ruoxue arrived in Jinling, she received the personal guidance of the master of the Dragon and Phoenix Gate, and her martial arts had already made great progress. The last time Chengjiacun fought, if she hadn't met Liu Shui, she wouldn't have been captured easily. After Ruoxue was put back by Liu Shui, she recently practiced martial arts in retreat, and her skills have been greatly improved. Today's Ruoxue may not be Yang Xuelian's opponent, but at least it will not be too different from Yang Xuefeng.
Yang Xuelian had made up her mind, and it was naturally inconvenient for the others of the White Lotus Sect to oppose it. At this time, the discussion on the side of Longfengmen was also completed, and Li Zhen said to Niu Ba: "Now that you and I have become a family, the owner of the cattle shop should also contribute." This first battle will be fought by the owner himself, what do you think? Niu Ba was already riding a tiger at this time, so he had to agree. The two shopkeepers of the gambling house, Wu Meng and Lu Song, were not angry and proposed to fight on behalf of Niu Ba. Li Xianglan already knew that they had lost the day before yesterday in the competition, and refused outright, claiming that the stakes were too high to take risks.
Li Xianglan first tied Niu Ba to her side, and second, she wanted to see the strength of the White Lotus Sect and how to deal with it. Li Xianglan knew that with Niu Ba's martial arts, she could at least defeat the opponent's Baili Feng and Nangong Tao. If you can win, it's the best. Even if you lose, there are still four games in the future, and Longfengmen is still sure of winning! Li Xianglan estimated that the strongest on the other party should be Yang Xuelian, Yang Xuefeng, Baili Feng and Nangong Tao. On his side, he already has Niu Ba, Li Xing, Ruoxue, Li Zhen and his own five masters, and he undoubtedly has an advantage.
Seeing Li Xianglan's insistence, Niu Ba had no choice but to step forward, came to the middle of the clearing, and shouted to the opposite side: "Miss Yang, have you discussed it?" Don't keep the old man waiting too long! Yang Xuelian couldn't help frowning when she saw that it was Niu Ba. She had fought with Niu Ba the day before yesterday and knew that his martial arts were extremely high, and on her side, only she and her brother might have a chance to win against this person. Yang Xuelian secretly thought that this is the first battle, and she must win it, otherwise the competition will be more difficult. The day before yesterday, Baili Feng and himself had already made a move, and the number of martial arts roads had been seen by Niu Ba, only Yang Xuefeng had not shown his martial arts.
Yang Xuelian said to Yang Xuefeng: "Xuefeng, although this person's martial arts are strong, have you seen his moves, are you sure?" Yang Xuefeng was unhappy that he didn't have the opportunity to show his skills the day before yesterday. Hearing my sister's question at this moment, Daxi said, "Sister, don't worry, just leave it to me!" As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Yang Xuelian to answer, she jumped forward, and then came to Niu Ba and said: "Niu Fang, the day before yesterday let you get away with it, you should hide at home and not come out." You have to be careful today, the stakes are very high, and the younger generation will be ruthless! ”
Niu Ba snorted coldly, didn't say much, drew his knife and came out, but did not take the lead. After all, in terms of age, Yang Xuefeng is a junior, and it is naturally inconvenient for Niu Ba to strike first, so as not to be ridiculed for bullying him. Seeing this, Yang Xuefeng was not polite, pulled out the sword from his waist, and with a wave of luck, he slashed the bull. Niu Ba's body did not move, but he just waved the knife, and with a move of "Jinpeng spread his wings", he slashed out obliquely. This move was just right, and the tip of Yang Xuefeng's sword could be pierced at this time.
But when he heard the "click", sparks flew everywhere, and Yang Xuefeng jumped up. With the power of the rebound of Niu Ba's knife, he jumped high, hit it in the air, and stabbed Niu Ba's vest. Niu Ba waved his backsword, and with another "click", Yang Xuefeng fell to the ground in two laps. Niu Ba couldn't hold back, and he couldn't help but play two circles before he stood firm. Both sides used eighty percent of their internal force, and it was obvious that Niu Ba was slightly superior, after all, Yang Xuefeng borrowed the power of volleying down the core. Yang Xuefeng secretly praised in his heart: "This person's internal strength is slightly stronger than mine, and there are really two hits!" No wonder I was able to draw with my sister! ”
Niu Ba also knew it at this time, knowing that although the opponent's swordsmanship was exquisite, his internal strength was insufficient, and he was not as good as Yang Xuelian. Yang Xuefeng's feet touched the ground, raised his sword and attacked again. At this time, they all knew that they had encountered a strong enemy, and they did not dare to underestimate the enemy. What's more, when it comes to the future of the two factions, both of them are in good spirits. Niu Ba swung his knife to meet him, and the two fought together. One attack is like a storm. One is like an impregnable wall.
The more the two fought, the more they fought, and the fight became more and more capricious, Yang Xuefeng's swordsmanship became more and more fickle, advancing like an ape scurrying branches, retreating like a dragon and a snake rushing away. But Niu Ba is well-informed after all, and he is waiting for his whole body with a knife. Yang Xuefeng's repeated attacks were all resolved one by one. In the blink of an eye, the two fought for nearly 100 rounds, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.
