Chapter 348: On the banks of the Xunyang River

At the beginning of late spring, Yin Baimei, the head of the Kunlun faction, personally led the second elder Yin Hefeng, the third elder Leng Kongyang, and more than 600 disciples under his command, from Kunlun Mountain to Jiangzhou. And on the morning of the first day of March, they gathered on the bank of the Xunyang River, preparing to cross the river in a big way and kill towards the Valley of Despair.

This matter has been rumored all over the city as early as a month ago, and it is boiling. The "feats" of the Kunlun faction by the various factions in the Central Plains martial arts are all looking forward to it and waiting to see it.

Nominally, Yin Baimei held the banner of "crusading against foreign races and supporting justice". In fact, Yin Baimei was haunted by the "Seven Star Sword Formation" of the Valley of Despair and the theft of Kunlun martial arts.

As everyone knows, unique martial arts is the foundation of the martial arts sect standing in the rivers and lakes, and "stealing teachers" is a taboo among the taboos. Once a school of martial arts is used by others, it will not only insult the lintel and attract criticism, but also bury hidden dangers for the future, and even be replaced.

In the final analysis, the "stealing" Kunlun faction in the Valley of Despair was regarded by Yin Baimei as a great shame for the Kunlun faction, and even more regarded as a huge problem hindering the long-term prosperity of the Kunlun faction.

Because of this, Yin Baimei did not hesitate to mobilize the crowd and fight hard. First, it is necessary to make a break with the Valley of Despair. The two want to take this opportunity to establish their authority in the rivers and lakes, highlighting the courage and courage of Kunlun's leading group to see the horns and pull out the teeth of the tiger.

In the warm spring morning, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the river breeze is coming, and the water waves are not prosperous.

Yin Baimei stood by the river, raising his eyes and looking into the distance, his mind was slightly in a trance. At this time, three large ships and dozens of small boats had been prepared in the middle of the river, and hundreds of Kunlun disciples boarded the ships one after another under the command of Leng Kongyang, in an orderly manner.

The gray-haired Yin Hefeng came to Yin Baimei's side and asked in a low voice: "This is going to the Valley of Despair, I'm afraid that it will inevitably be a fight, and the head has really made up his mind?"

"If it weren't for the fact that he had made up his mind, how could the old man have worked hard and mobilized the crowd and come thousands of miles?" Yin Baimei's tone, like the river in front of him, was cold and bland, "If we don't find out about this matter, how will the Kunlun faction gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future?" Last year, I sent Leng Kongyang to ask Xiao Zhirou for an explanation, but he was scarred and returned in embarrassment. As the head of the Kunlun faction, if I am indifferent to this matter, it will not only chill the hearts of my disciples, but also make outsiders think that my Kunlun disciples are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, greedy for life and afraid of death. It is a matter of reputation, reputation, and the foundation of the sect, and the old man must not sit idly by. ”

"What the boss said is very true. Yin Hefeng smiled bitterly, then changed his words, and said with a worried face, "It's just that it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Valley of Desperate Love, Longxiang Mountain, and the Mongols have become a raccoon dog, and we will attack the Valley of Desperate Feelings, and it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be retaliated against by Longxiang Mountain and the Mongols." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Yin Baimei snorted coldly, "Speak the word 'reason' in everything." Now, the Desperate Valley has stolen my Kunlun martial arts, and we are not afraid of shadows, so why be afraid?"

"Although we are reasonable, we are only afraid that these heretical demons are messing around and unreasonable. Yin He said, "Now that the wind has come out, I think that the Valley of Despair must have taken precautions." To tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of the Valley of Despair, but I'm worried that we'll venture into the tiger's den...... will suffer a big loss. After all, most of the Kunlun disciples are landlubbers, once they are trapped in the surging river, they are afraid that they will not be able to take care of themselves, how can they fight with others?"

After that, Yin Hefeng stretched out his hand and pointed at the endless vast river, and said in a condensed voice: "Master, the river seems to be calm, but who knows how many murderous opportunities are hidden under the river?"

"What do you say we should do?"

"Send out a heroic post, invite the heroes of the world, and encircle and suppress the Valley of Despair together!" Yin Hefeng proposed, "People can show the public, brainstorm and then benefit." In this way, our odds of winning will also be greatly improved. ”

"Heroic post? Do you think that if we send out a heroic post, all sects and factions will respond one after another? No! At present, everyone knows that we are raising a teacher to fight against the Valley of Despair, but who has taken the initiative to stand up and help us? No! Their minds are now on the martial arts conference on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, and they have no time to be distracted, let alone get into trouble. Therefore, all factions in the rivers and lakes are pretending to be stupid, seemingly ignorant of our intentions, but in fact they are closely watching our every move behind the scenes. In such a situation, what will happen if we send out a hero post?"

"This ......" Yin Hefeng couldn't help but be stunned and hesitated, "Could it be that they will turn a blind eye?"

"That's not going to happen, after all, everyone is still in harmony on the surface, and they have to show some affection for each other. Yin Baimei smiled, "Once we send out a heroic post, they will symbolically send some old and weak soldiers to pretend to be strong for us." In fact, far from helping us in the slightest, it can be a burden. What's more, since then, our Kunlun faction will owe a lot of favors, and I am afraid that we will not be able to pay it off for decades. ”

"What the boss said is very true. Yin Hefeng admitted, "It's none of my business, hang high." All factions in the rivers and lakes are now waiting to see the excitement, and who is willing to sincerely share our hatred. ”

The old man deliberately kept silent, in fact, he also wanted to take this opportunity to try the reactions of various sects. Yin Baimei muttered, "The old man doesn't care if the other sects come forward or not, he just wants to see how the Xianwang Mansion and the Golden Sword Dock react?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the most likely to sit on the throne of the martial arts alliance leader in September is none other than Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu. Right now, they are doing their best to recruit troops and accumulate strength, which can be described as a god and Buddha fighting method, and each has their own magical powers. Last year, Deng Changchuan of the Xianwang Mansion came to visit, and his real intention was very clear, which was nothing more than to let the old man raise the power of the entire Kunlun faction to help the Northern Xianwang become famous. At that time, although I said yes, I ...... in my heart But there is still hesitation. After all, the stakes are high, and our lives are at stake, so how can we make a hasty decision?"

Yin Hefeng nodded thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "So the head wants to take advantage of the matter of the Valley of Despair to try the attitude of Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu?"

"Not bad. ”

"For the Xianwang Mansion and the Golden Sword Dock, I don't know which side the head of the family prefers?"

"Naturally, it's King Beixian. The old man has known him for a long time, and he has never stopped exchanging gifts for many years, and this affection alone is far from being comparable to Jin Jianwu. Yin Baimei sighed lightly, then changed his words, and said: "In addition, I refuse to issue a hero post, and there is another layer of concern, that is, 'family ugliness should not be publicized'." People have two skins in their mouths, saying that they are stealing teachers, but once this matter is publicized, I don't know how many gossips will be born? What if someone says that we and the Valley of Despair are the same dog, and they are in the same line...... At that time, it will not be possible to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. ”

"The head of the family is far-sighted, but I am negligent. ”

"But what you just said is not unfounded. Yin Baimei's tone softened, and he smiled lightly, "If you really tear your face with the Desperate Valley, even if we can have the last laugh, I'm afraid we will pay an extremely painful price." Once the vitality is seriously damaged, how should we deal with the martial arts conference in September?"

Yin Hefeng's eyes lit up, and he said suspiciously: "The head of the house means ......"

"As a last resort, I won't fight with Xiao Zhirou to break the net, I hope she can take the initiative to give the old man a satisfactory explanation. ”

"Chief, Second Elder, look!"

Suddenly, a disciple hurriedly came, stretched out his hand and pointed to the river, and said urgently, "There is a boat on the river that is speeding towards us. A senior brother recognized the person at the bow of the ship, it was the 'ruthless swordsman' Tang Afu. ”

"Tang Afu, Desperate Valley?" Yin Hefeng was stunned, "I'm afraid that those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come." ”

"Just in time. Yin Bai's eyebrows became unsurprised, and he smiled lightly, "The old man was still worried just now, my Kunlun disciples don't know the nature of water, what should I do if I am ambushed in the water? Ordered all the disciples, quickly disembarked, and lined up by the river. ”

"Yes!"

The disciple of the command panicked, and almost collided with the oncoming cold sky yang.

"Kong Yang, how many people are here, but is there Xiao Zhirou, the ruthless valley master?" asked Yin Hefeng.

"Three clippers, no more than twenty or thirty people. Leng Kongyang replied, "The people at the head are Tang Afu, the eldest disciple of the Ruthless Valley, and the second disciple Chang Wufu, who has no regrets, and has not seen Xiao Zhirou's shadow. It was expected that they had received the news, so they rushed to the bank of the Xunyang River to negotiate peace with us. ”

"Negotiate peace, could it be that they are afraid?" Yin Hefeng said suspiciously.

"Don't take it lightly. Yin Bai's eyebrows rolled, he thought about it, and quickly ordered, "First ask them about their intentions, and if they can't get along, they will all be captured as the capital for negotiations with Xiao Zhirou." ”

"The head is wise. ”

In the middle of a few words, Tang Afu's boat had reached the bank of the Xunyang River and stopped at a place about 30 meters from the shore.

"Who's coming?" On the bow of the ship, Chang Wu's voice sounded first, and his tone was quite unkind.

"Knowingly ask!" Leng Kongyang said in a deep voice, "A few months ago, the old man fought with you, could it be that he forgot it so quickly?"

"Oh! It turned out to be the third elder of the Kunlun faction. Chang Wuregret sneered, "Last time you trespassed into the Valley of Ruthlessness and trampled on the Ruthless Flower, the valley master spared you from dying, which is already extraordinarily gracious." Now that you don't want to repent, you dare to commit it?"

"Don't talk nonsense! The head of the Kunlun faction is here, quickly call Xiao Zhirou to come out and reply!" Leng Kongyang shouted.

"The valley owner is full of everything, and he has no time to take care of anything else. Yin's head has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, Tang will convey it. Tang Afu's indifferent voice sounded quietly.

He is not as hostile to the Kunlun faction as Chang Wuregret, and every word is full of cynicism, but his heart is like water, and his eyes are expressionless.

"Ruthless swordsman, farewell to Hexi, how are you doing lately?" Yin Baimei was not happy or angry, and smiled indifferently, and there was a bit of concern for the elders for the younger ones in his words.

"Master Yin doesn't have to say hello, you and I don't know each other in our lives, and we don't have any friendships, please speak up if you have something to say. Tang Afu's narrow eyes coldly glanced at the hundreds of Kunlun disciples who were waiting on the shore, and said with something in his words, "Looking at today's posture, it seems that Master Yin is not here to reminisce about the past. ”

"Since the ruthless swordsman is quick to talk, the old man no longer goes around in circles. Yin Baimei smiled, "The old man's intention, presumably Lord Xiao Gu and you are clear in their hearts." I came here today, not for anything else, I just want to ask Lord Xiao Gu for a clear explanation. ”

"Confess?" Tang Afu snorted softly and asked rhetorically, "What is the matter with my Desperate Valley, and I want to explain to you Master Yin?"

"The matter of stealing the teacher!" Yin Baimei's expression was stiff, and his tone sank suddenly, "Tang Afu, you are a smart person, you should know today's matter, and it is definitely not something that can be easily resolved in a few words." Therefore, you don't have to spit in vain and bite the word with me. The old man advises you to invite Lord Xiao Gu out to confront me face to face as soon as possible. Today's events will never be over. As for the turtle shrinking valley, avoid it...... It's not a smart move!"

"Why? you dare to threaten us?" said Chang Wuxian contemptuously, "I don't want to see what kind of place this is? ”

"Whether it is a threat or not is not decided by the old man, but by the Lord of Xiao Gu. Yin Baimei turned a blind eye to Chang Wu's sarcasm, and chuckled, "The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has also been to many places in the north and south. But no matter where it is, no one has ever dared to take the old man's words as a deaf ear. As for whether the old man is making a big fuss? Who doesn't know the height of the sky? Not in a hurry, it will soon be clear. ”

"You ......"

"Listen to the meaning of Master Yin's words, do you have to see my valley master today?" Tang Afu waved his hand to interrupt Chang Wu's rebuttal, and said faintly, "If we insist on blocking it, I am afraid that the Valley of Despair will stain the river with blood and ambush corpses today." I don't know, Tang understands what Master Yin means this way, right?"

"It's not a mistake. Yin Baimei nodded undeniably, "After all, it is a matter of honor and disgrace for the Kunlun faction, and sooner or later it will have to be decided." You can't hide. Today, the old man personally led 600 Kunlun disciples, although they wanted to escape unscathed, but at the same time, they were also ready to come and go back and kill themselves. ”

"Master Yin's words have come to this, and it seems that there is no room for negotiation between us. Tang Afu smiled coldly, and then slowly pulled out the ruthless sword in his hand.

With a soft sound of "Cangchang", a flash of silver light appeared, the cold air was pressing, and the sharp sword blade was pointed directly at Yin Baimei on the shore.

That being the case, it is useless to say more. Tang Mou is brave, please give me advice!"
