The Way of Vertical and Horizontal (19)
Seeing the nonsense, Zhang Shaoying laughed and said: "You can arrest our merchants, in fact, we also have your merchants, but I didn't kill them, and you won't use them anymore, and they don't know who they're working for, which is different from you." ”
Lin Bin, who was the only one who was with Hu Dao, said coldly: "It's ridiculous that you dare to talk about justice when you are waiting for rebellion. Zhang Shaoying sneered and said: "It is precisely because of our existence that you will not sacrifice our defenseless people at will." Lin Bin wanted to refute, but this was real after all, and he could have refuted it with one thing rather than the overall situation, but he didn't want to argue with others. People like Zhang Shaoying actually lead Zonghengmen, which is what he thinks is the most ridiculous and magical place.
Seeing that Lin Bin didn't speak, Zhang Shaoying continued: "Look at the officials of the two Zhejiang, none of them are clean, you know this better than me, you can blame Xiaoyao City, blame us, and how can you think about your own fault?" Hu Dao interrupted: "You came here to talk so much nonsense, didn't you come to fight? After that, a large number of south gate subordinates poured out of the rockery jungle, and the subordinates surrounded the pavilion. Zhang Shaoying laughed and said: "In addition to a few useless dark masters in my hands, there are also a lot of county governors or something, you can have as many as you want." Hu Dao frowned, knowing that what Zhang Shaoying said was true, but why didn't the spies at the south gate find out? Hu Dao said: "You should go to Kang Zhizhou for these, it has nothing to do with us." Zhang Shaoying smiled: "Okay, I'll kill them." With that, he nodded to Sanwei. Hu Dao secretly shouted that it was not good, he knew Zhang Shaoying's life well, and knew that the ethics of Fadu did not have much restraint in his heart, and he could do such a thing. had to say: "Then how about we exchange?" Zhang Shaoying didn't know that most of these magistrates were from the imperial examination. The protégé of the Son of Heaven is selected, the position is very important, and it is the key to the confrontation against Xiaoyao City in the two Zhejiang official mansions, whether it is the south gate or the darkness, if it is not saved, the blow to these officials will not be small.
Zhang Shaoying asked, "How do you want to exchange?" Hu Dao said: "How about we exchange in Chengcheng in three days?" Zhang Shaoying smiled secretly, exchanged hostages and released each person. Why did you have to exchange in person, but agreed. When Hu Dao looked at this young man who was seven or eight years younger than himself, he praised Zhang Shaoying for understanding his intentions, but how immature it was to reveal his mind so easily, but this young man seemed to have vicissitudes and perseverance in his eyes, but people dared not ignore it, he had never seen such a person. Out of Yunhu Villa, Zhang Shaoying sat on the butterfly wings and was silent, and returned to Xiaoyao City and went directly back to Xianlu Villa. Zhuzong then came to meet, and Zhang Shaoying told Hu Dao about the exchange of hostages. Wei Ye, a grass and tree monk, said: "Obviously, a big battle is brewing at the South Gate. Zhang Shaoying nodded and said: "This is unavoidable, these are not difficult things, what I need is that this battle will definitely hit the South Gate hard." Lin Kui said: "There is still darkness behind the south gate, and we must have the determination to break the boat." Zhang Shaoying shook his head and said: "This is too obvious, this is the day when my group of people will go, and you will fight the branch altar at the south gate." Is this what we have to do?" said Biying Jushi Zhongfang, who had not spoken: "We have lost the opportunity to attack the industry of the South Gate. Hu Dao has already adjusted the structure of each altar. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to fight us at this time. Zhang Shaoying said: "Although our network is not as powerful, but the sects combined, there must be more people than them." There is a saying that "everything is always changing" and it is too late to change. ”
Seeing that Zhang Shaoying's words were obvious, Mu Qiubai said: "If there are any tricks, I will say it." Zhang Shaoying laughed embarrassedly twice and said, "I have found his seven branch altars, these are enough." "All the sects know it. Under the twenty-four divisions of the South Gate, each division has two altars, and seven sub-altars are not a small number at least in two Zhejiang. Shen Yi said: "The master of the sect doesn't care about his own safety, it seems that he has taken a fancy to our trap beast?" Zhang Shaoying nodded and said: "Chengcheng is our place, with the ability of the Zongheng faction, plus the instrument sect, and your clamping. I'm still quite sure. Everyone secretly agreed, all this didn't seem to be taught by Ji Lingshuang, and this funny door master became more and more unpredictable. When Zhuzong went back to rest, Zhang Shaoying asked Chen Yi and the others to rest, returned to the room with his wife, and stretched out on the bed. Ji Lingshuang approached Zhang Shaoying and took a closer look, and said approvingly: "It's a lot more dignified, and it's worth praise." Zhang Shaoying shook his head and sighed: "Lingshuang, I am different from you, all the people who die in this fight are people, and there are thousands of people, this is not a small number." Ji Lingshuang sighed: "This is a battle of life and death, you can't be emotional." Zhang Shaoying said: "With you by my side, I should be more steady, otherwise this master will not be able to do it." Ji Lingshuang said: "We can have such a tacit understanding, which can be regarded as fate." Zhang Shaoying got up and looked at Liu Yan, Liu Yan said very little along the way, between life and death, Liu Yan and Zhang Shaoying are the same, she sometimes finds it hard to believe that Zhang Shaoying just moved her mouth and gave orders, there will be thousands of casualties, which is no less than a war. Zhang Shaoying pulled Liu Yan and let her sit down on the edge of the bed, Wen Yan said, "You will stay at home in the future, right?" Liu Yan shook her head and said, "This is also what I should bear, isn't it?" Zhang Shaoying nodded and said: "Although I have a heart, I can't make you happy." Liu Yan smiled slightly and fell into Zhang Shaoying's arms.
Hu Daoyan said that he would exchange hostages in Chengcheng three days later, and Zonghengmen ordered all sects to closely monitor the entire territory of Mingzhou, and the South Gate did not make any cover-up, and a large number of subordinates of the South Gate gathered in Chengcheng. A big battle like this is needed by both sides, and it is far more time-saving to defeat the opponent fundamentally in the most direct way than to spend time with each other. Three days later, Zhang Shaoying led Zhang Chenyi and the others, and asked Shen Yi to lead the trap beast to follow him to exchange hostages, this time he captured three magistrates, and was loyal to Song Ting. And the two dark Monroes that were captured, Ji Lingshuang's soul dementorship immediately scattered and killed the two Monroes, which really surprised Ji Lingshuang, obviously they had already taken precautions against such a soul dementoring technique.
When Zhang Shaoying was on the road, the sects began to attack the seven altars at the south gate, which was unexpected to Hu Dao, and he also felt difficult, and now the south gate is really full of holes. Of these seven sub-altars, each sect only hit four places, but it also gained a lot. The establishment of the South Gate was already in the process of being renovated, and it was hastily transferred, and everything was not stable, and it was caught off guard by the attacks of the various sects, and suffered heavy losses. However, among them, the Great Elder of the Medicine Sect encountered He Jin when he attacked the Linhai Branch, and was caught off guard by He Jin's ambush, and the Great Elder of the Medicine Sect, Chen Qi, was injured and defeated. The subordinate of the Imperial Inner Class led by He Jin had just been transferred, which Zonghengmen did not expect. Although the martial arts of the Medicine Sect Chen Qi are not extremely high, but with the assistance of pharmacology, his martial arts are not under the Chongyao of the Immortal Sect God of War, so it seems that the only thing that the entire Zongheng Gate can compete with He Jin is Benyue. Ji Lingshuang's martial arts have regressed a lot due to emotional intervention, and in terms of martial arts alone, I am afraid that it is only slightly better than Mu Qiubai. In this way, Hu Dao's actions in Chengcheng were meaningless, and the hostages were exchanged peacefully. These merchants and sects could no longer be used, and Zhang Shaoying gave 100,000 taels of silver to each of them and let them disperse. In this bloody killing, this is probably the only thing Zhang Shaoying feels relieved about.
However, out of the woods, Zhang Shaoying thought of Guo Xiao who was following Hu Dao. He didn't hate Guo Xiao between the grievances, but he just felt that if he caught him and teased him, how happy it would be. Zhang Shaoying didn't dare to say such a thought to Ji Lingshuang, and after thinking about it, Zhang Shaoying asked: "If I kill or capture Guo Xiao alive, do I have such a certainty?" Ji Lingshuang said: "Do you want your senior brother to make a move?" Zhang Shaoying nodded. Ji Lingshuang said: "Although my senior brother is indifferent, he actually takes good care of me, and the reason why he came is not the master's idea. Although his martial arts are good, I only hope that you can estimate his safety. What's more, what if you kill a Guo Xiao? Song Ting is full of talents, and an unfamiliar opponent is far more difficult to grasp than a familiar opponent. "Boss Zhang Shaoying is not interesting. Liu Yan said: "We are all ready, but it is a way to catch them off guard." Ji Lingshuang nodded, and Zhang Shaoying looked at Ji Lingshuang.
After Hu Dao and Zhang Shaoying dispersed, he asked his subordinates to send back a few magistrates, and he wanted to send someone to protect it, which is also the duty of the South Gate, but after thinking about it, no matter how many people there are, I am afraid that they will not be able to protect it, and now the safety of the South Gate is a problem, so I have to give up. Seeing that Hu Dao was rarely solemn, and he no longer had his usual spirit, Guo Xiao asked: "The gentleman asks for himself, the villain asks for others, what kind of person are you?" Hu Dao smiled helplessly and said: "There is still a gap between the truth and the reality. Guo Xiao said: "The way of a gentleman to do things, you are getting more and more deviated. Hu Daoxin read: "The gentleman is righteous as the quality, the etiquette is the practice, the grandson is out, and the faith is successful." Look at what we are doing now, but the way of a gentleman?" Guo Xiao sighed: "The great plan of the family and the country is not used for ordinary things, and we were born for this, which has already been decreed by the Holy Lord." What we do is destined to be selfless dedication, and the world will not understand. If you all think so, what is the significance of the existence of the South Gate? Look at the Tang Sect Master, this kind of sacrifice is exactly what our generation should emulate. Hu Dao nodded and said, "You're right, thank you for the reminder." (To be continued......)
