Chapter 172: There are turbulent waves under the waves
The battle of Baishui River soon spread all over the rivers and lakes, and SchrΓΆding's name was unfamiliar to many people. This former veteran of the iron-clad army of Yan State has never been famous. However, the sword in his hand was widely known in this battle.
Xue Ding suffered heavy losses, but the Basheng Sword remained on the banks of the Baishui River.
There was a dog leg under Lan Ning's hand who wanted to run to pull back the knife and present it to his master, but as soon as he got close to the Basheng knife, he was injured by the scorching knife, and most of the skin on his body was burned.
At that time, before Lan Ning left, he just looked at the Basheng knife twice, and he was not in a hurry to collect his loot.
Anyway, the knife is there, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even get close, let alone take it for themselves.
The first thing Meng Juntong did after entering the city was to find Xiang Ming, she knew that Xiang Ming lived in the Yunsong Inn, and she didn't even leave the main entrance, so she jumped directly into the second floor of the building, and quickly found the room where Xiang Ming was with her mental power, and kicked the door open.
Xiang Ming was sitting at the table at this moment, with a large piece of beef and drinking wine.
This picture is exactly the same as when he was in Yangguan City, he raised his head and looked at Meng Juntong in a daze, with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"
Meng Juntong stepped forward and snatched the wine jug in Xiang Ming's hand, shook his hand and threw it directly on the ground.
"Hey! Xiang Ming exclaimed in surprise and wanted to reach out to the next, but the speed was still a little slower, and he saw the wine jug smashed on the wall, and the mellow smell of wine immediately permeated the entire room.
He looked at Meng Juntong with some anger: "What are you crazy about, do you know how expensive this wine is." β
Meng Juntong was directly angry, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiang Ming and sneered: "This is the cooperation you are talking about? Seeing that Brother Xue was seriously injured and knocked down the Baishui River. As for your masters, it is possible that you don't even have the courage to come forward to mend the sword!"
Xiang Ming didn't wonder that Meng Juntong had such doubts, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Meng Juntong, can you be reasonable, that is a great grandmaster master, yes, he was hit hard by Brother Xue, but this means that he has no strength to fight anymore? β
Meng Juntong stared at Xiang Ming's eyes, how deep this guy's scheming is, she had seen it in Yangguan City before, and in order to go to Yangguan City's Taishou Mansion to save Xue Ding, Meng Juntong also went to him. At that time, he was silent, but in the end, he suddenly moved out so much, and she later learned that the samurai called the Dragon Shadow Forbidden Army was called.
Xiang Ming helped her and Xue Ding, which she was also very grateful for, but from beginning to end, Xiang Ming never said a word of truth to her, which made Meng Juntong feel frightened.
"Don't worry, it's all expected. Moreover, although Brother Xue was severely injured, it would not be life-threatening, and I believe that there will be news from Wei Ling's side soon. β
Meng Juntong turned around and prepared to leave, she herself couldn't tell why, every time she was with Xiang Ming, she would have an irrepressible anxiety in her heart, which was the case when she saw him for the first time in Yangguan City.
It's like the attributes of two people, one is water and the other is fire, and after the two have been in contact for a long time, one of them will inevitably die first.
"Hey, you're leaving, don't you stay for a drink?" Xiang Ming stood up and wanted to save Meng Juntong.
Meng Juntong didn't pay attention to him at all, and was about to push the door and get out of the way.
"Don't you want to know more of Lan Ning's secrets?" Xiang Ming tempted.
This time, Meng Juntong stopped and looked back at Xiang Ming slightly.
Xiang Ming smiled, wiped his two hands hard on the buttocks behind him, and made a gesture to Meng Juntong to sit down: "The beef in this Baishui City is definitely the best, I don't know how many times better than those in Zhiyang Guancheng, Miss Meng really doesn't plan to taste it." β
Meng Juntong walked back to the table and sat down: "You still know everything to tell me, I warn you not to try to deceive me." β
Looking at Meng Juntong's slightly shining eyes, Xiang Ming shrugged and said, "When did I lie to you." β
Meng Juntong stretched out a finger: "This is the first sentence, let me hear a lie again, I will turn around and leave, I will never give you any chance." β
Xiang Ming looked embarrassed and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Xiang Ming put away his previous hippie smile, took out another pot of wine from the cabinet on the side, placed two small cups on the table and began to tell the story.
"White Water City, our Chu State may be staring at it for longer than your Zhao State. β
Meng Juntong shook his head and explained: "I am not from Zhao Guo. β
Xiang Ming raised his hand to indicate a slip of the tongue and continued: "It will be longer than their Zhao Kingdom. You should know that what King Zhao wanted to win over Lan Ning, the great grandmaster, was to guard the Jianghu warriors in the territory of Zhao for him.
For the monarch is the most taboo to use martial arts to violate the forbidden martial arts, these martial arts methods are not good, but the wild is untamable, unless it is to meet the real strong, otherwise it is difficult to subdue it.
If a country does not have the pillars of the country to suppress these people, then they may not even care about the imperial power. Especially some Jianghu sects, if they blindly become bigger and stronger, they will even threaten the authority of the king of a country. β
"So your Chu State wants to disintegrate Baishui City, and then disintegrate the Jianghu forces of Zhao State?"
Xiang Ming sneered: "A small Baishui City really doesn't represent the entire Zhaoguo Jianghu, this is just a garbage shelter in the Zhaoguo Jianghu, you see a few virtuous and righteous Jianghu warriors appear in this Baishui City." It's just some scum. β
"Then what are you staring at Baishui City?" Meng Juntong suddenly remembered one thing, that is, one of the cooperation conditions reached by Xiang Ming and Yan Fengyi was about moving the Jinglou arsenal of Baishui City back to Chu State afterwards.
"Just for the sake of those scripture books and treasures in Baishui City?" Meng Juntong was a little suspicious, she still knew about Chu State, she had always been a wealthy master, how could she be so petty and childish, and make a big deal for these.
Xiang Ming shook his head: "I won't lie to you about this, the Jinglou arsenal is just a disguise, and we can't tell you what we really want right now." β
You continue. As long as Xiang Ming doesn't lie and hides some things, Meng Juntong doesn't care.
"Our spies infiltrated Whitewater three years ago. Among them, two of them are now quite senior figures in Wuyang Palace, and naturally some secrets have been circulated. β
Xiang Ming said and took out two scrolls from his sleeve: "This is from the Wuyang Palace recently, I can tell you very responsibly, this time Lan Ning has long been wary of your Luoxia County and his party, and he has also kept his back hand."
Believe it or not, if it was on the riverside, Yan Fengyi and Xing Bai would have taken a shot at Lan Ning, and everyone in the Yan family would have already hung their heads in Baishui City at this moment!"
