Chapter 154: Go hand in hand
Under the anger of the ** who ranked first among the 'three heroes of Quzhou', he showed his housekeeping skills 'Meteor Eighteen Styles' as soon as he took the stage! But how could Lin Ziyan get into the eyes of these ordinary tricks that fooled ordinary people? After winning two games in a row, Wang Xu, the head of the Sujiang faction who came next, did not have much new ideas. Although his kung fu was not weak, because he was annoyed that he was scolding and scolding, he was not clean, and after only three moves and two styles, Lin Ziyan spotted a gap in it, and shot down all Wang Xu's teeth with the hilt of his sword.
Seeing that the three local leaders were easily defeated by each other one after another, although the remaining leaders looked at each other for a long time, none of them dared to come to the stage. Seeing this, Lin Ziyan immediately ordered someone to take the documents that had been prepared and asked the heads to sign them one by one, and the trip to Quzhou ended successfully.
Although nearly half of the task was completed almost effortlessly, after speculating on the task progress of Zhao Chengxian, Li Fuchao and others, Lin Ziyan couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. So more than a month later, two or three hundred heads of Jianghu sects in Anqing Mansion and Luzhou received a letter of challenge from the heads of Shaolin, Wudang, and the beggar gang jointly signed by the Weiyuan Dart Bureau at almost the same time.
It is stated in the book that those who should fight only need to make ten moves under Lin Ziyan and have a name, and give a thousand taels of gold on the spot; if they are defeated, they can also receive a good gift if they only need to have a name on the spot. is so cheap, and the characters in the rivers and lakes who are bound to see the profit naturally refuse to miss it. Therefore, as soon as the time of the war comes, the heads of various factions who are interested in making a name for themselves are all eager to take the stage to try their skills!
However, after several days of competition, Mo said that it was ten moves, and there were very few people who had completed five moves! Therefore, many leaders who had come for a large windfall not only did not see the shadow of a thousand taels of gold, but finally had to obediently make a promise to make a name and receive some coiled feathers and return.
In less than two months, Lin Ziyan completed the division of forces among hundreds of Jianghu sects in more than 60 counties in one prefecture and two prefectures (including Qizhou in Anqing Prefecture). Seeing that most of the task had been completed, Lin Ziyan still didn't dare to take it lightly. As soon as the affairs here were settled, even though they passed through Yingzhou and Caizhou non-stop, they rushed straight to Kaifeng Mansion.
said Zhao Chengxian. Because his home was in Tianfu, he was closer to his destination than Duan Zhengji, Lin Ziyan and others, so he was not in a hurry to take action at first. But considering that he promised first, and several other people were not under him, and then thought of the family, not only the eldest brother had already become the hero of the famous martial arts, but even the other brothers were also the heads of the famous Jianghu faction;
So a few days later, hundreds of leaders in Xuzhou and the original Guide Mansion in front of him and behind him received this sternly worded war letter almost at the same time!
The book states: If the head of any faction does not dare to fight the war, he will be directly removed from the list of the rivers and lakes; and in the future, he will pursue it endlessly until it is completely defeated and reduced to a last-class sect! Looking at the signature of the war letter, although I don't know who these seven sons are, the people who receive the letter do not dare to be careless, and they are all ready to fight, as if they are facing a great enemy!
In the city of Xuzhou Mansion, Hu Zhengguang, the head of the 'Iron Sword Gate', sat in the hall as soon as he arrived, and carefully figured out what happened recently. As the head of the ground leader sect of Xuzhou Mansion, he naturally also received the war letter for no reason. Seeing that the hour had come, but there was still no sign of the challenger, he could not help but wonder in his heart.
'It can't be a joke made by some charlatan?!' Hu Zhengguang thought secretly. That is, when Hu Zhengguang was full of doubts, he suddenly heard a chuckle from outside the room. After following the prestige, I saw that at some point, there was a young man in white with a sword standing on the side of the courtyard like a jade tree!
'Who's coming?' After being taken aback, Hu Zhengguang blurted out and asked. "Hurry up and get your weapon!If you win, this young master will tell you your name!" A smile appeared on the corner of the white-clothed young man's mouth as he fiddled with the sword in his hand. Seeing that he seemed to have contempt, Hu Zhengguang was immediately furious, and even pulled out his sword and pounced on the young man in the courtyard. But after the young man only waved his hand, Hu Zhengguang immediately felt a chill in his eyebrows penetrating into the bone marrow.
Seeing that there was no change in the person who came, the straight sword made him unavoidable and reached the center of his eyebrows, thinking that he was also a master of swordsmanship, but he couldn't even see the figure of the other party; Hu Zhengguang was shocked, and the sword in his hand couldn't help but fall to the ground.
Seeing that the young man had put away his sword with a smile, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "You have challenged me, but you refuse to report your name, it must be the person who is fighting for fame! What is the purpose of coming here? Please let me know!'" Zhao Chengxian laughed secretly, and began to inquire in detail about the respective spheres of influence and business conditions of dozens of large and small Jianghu sects on the ground in Xuzhou.
After listening to the detailed explanation, Zhao Chengxian made a name with Hu Zhengguang on the spot, immediately said goodbye and hurried to the next place to fight.
The Hungry Tiger Gang, under the jurisdiction of one hall and three associations, dozens of altars, plus nearly a thousand people; although I dare not say that it is a big faction in the rivers and lakes, it can definitely be called a well-known sect in the forefront of the green forest road in the south; plus its gang leader Cao Bao is invincible with a handle of seven treasures, and he is extremely domineering and accustomed to holding big, and the large and small underworld sects in the vicinity are all obedient and only look at their horses.
Therefore, as soon as the time of the war came, all the local underworld leaders who received the war letter came to Cao Bao's home in the west of the city early in the morning to pay a visit. "Presumably you have also received the challenge letter from the nameless maniac, right?!" As soon as he entered the hall, Cao Bao, who had his arms and shoulders folded, glanced at everyone in the hall. 'My brother is right!' said one of them, cautiously.
'An ignorant fanatic, how can he deserve such a panic from his brothers?' Looking at the sincere fear of the people who came, Cao Bao raised his chin slightly, and a touch of contempt immediately appeared on his face. "Brother, it's not that we are afraid, but I heard that more than 100 sects in the southern provinces have been attacked and harassed by strong enemies;
Cao Bao knows: This Ruyimen mainly to open casinos for a daily livelihood, especially in recent years, with a large number of high-ranking officials and giants have moved south; once these fat sheep hit the door, Ruyimen will suck it dry and squeeze it out and make it bankrupt! Yes, although this Ruyimen is only a small role on the southern green forest road, but its abundant wealth is indeed obvious to all; and this Hou Qi had been a teacher and the six major factions in his early years, although he was good at martial arts, but he spared his life like gold, and every time he encountered a strong enemy, he would spend a lot of money to ask for help! Therefore, although its sect is small, no one dares to provoke it easily.
At this moment, seeing that Hou Qi nodded and flattered, Cao Bao secretly said, 'The fat sheep is here!', and then ordered someone to take his treasure knife. After receiving the knife and splitting a stone bench in the courtyard in half with a blow in his hand, he immediately inserted the treasure knife in his hand into the ground and said proudly: "With this treasure knife in my hand, even if the person who comes has great ability, he also has his own brother to bear it!"
Seeing that he only pressed his hand, a long knife was inserted straight into the ground, and only the handle remained, which was only this skill; looking at the current southern martial arts, I am afraid that there are only a few people who can do it! Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly have the confidence to shout in unison. Seeing this, Cao Bao hurriedly ordered someone to bring a few chairs and beckoned everyone to sit down, and he sat down and tasted tea.
Seeing its casual and leisurely appearance, the fear of the people who came was swept away in their hearts, and at the same time, they couldn't help but hope that the challenger would appear soon. Before I knew it, an hour had passed, and everything was as usual and there was no sign of outsiders. Although a little disappointed, thinking that a wonderful show was about to start, everyone had to wait patiently and continue to watch.
Soon, most of the time had passed, but there was still no vision, and the people who came could not help but become a little anxious. Seeing that it was almost noon, Cao Bao immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet on the spot, and beckoned everyone in the courtyard to eat.
"It must be that guy is afraid of his brother's methods, afraid that his life will be at risk, so he doesn't dare to come!" 'There is a brother on our side of the ground, and even if he has great ability, he will never dare to go wild here!' another answered.
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately began to scramble to toast Cao Bao and set up dishes. Seeing everyone's courtesy, Cao Bao was even more colorful. Then he raised his glass with everyone and said proudly: 'If that madman dares to come today, Lao Tzu will not make ten moves, and he will be killed on the spot!'
'Hmph' Before everyone could shout, they heard a cold snort from the corner of the courtyard wall. After following the prestige, he saw a white-clothed young man standing in the wind like a jade tree under the tree in the corner of the courtyard! Seeing that the hands were behind him, he raised his head to the sky and hung his sword from the waist of the young man, and after everyone was shocked, they couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the one who challenged?" "That's right!" As soon as the voice of the white-clothed young man who didn't move came out, all the people who came suddenly felt a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, and they couldn't help but shudder in unison. 'The Seventh Prince has never heard of it, it has never heard of it, who is the boy? Isn't it famous with Lao Tzu?!' Seeing that everyone seemed to be afraid, Cao Bao, who had the heart to stabilize the situation, hurriedly shouted. "You don't deserve to know the name and surname of Young Master Ben!"
