Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi heard that this was Shi Tianbao's voice, and they were both shocked. Yu Fan thought secretly in his heart: "I heard that Xiao Er say last night that Wei Qian is the fourth disciple of Yang Ziqiao, the head of the Thunder Fist Sect. This person is also a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that his martial arts are not weak. It's just that Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist Gate have always been at odds with each other, both sides want to dominate Luoyang City, if it weren't for the Shaolin Temple that holds the bull's ear of martial arts is near Luoyang, coercing all factions, Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist Gate don't know how many big fights have been fought. It's just that over the years, the two factions have been doing things in secret. This time, Cheng Hei and I went to Luoyang City, but we inadvertently showed our whereabouts in Cuiyun Peak, and the Shi Family Dao and Lei Fist Sect sent people to keep an eye on them, and they sent important people such as the Shi Family's Chief Butler and Wei Qian to the Tianyi Inn, called Gift-giving, but it was really to find out the news, for fear that I would become the other party's helper. From this small incident, it can be seen that the two sects are in the same situation, and a fire is not inevitable. Could it be that after Shi Tianbao and the others left the Guandi Temple, they were ambushed by the Thunder Fist Gate here?"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly whispered to Cheng Hei: "It's the trouble of the Thunder Fist Sect to find the Shi family knife, let's not wade into this muddy water, bypass here, and find another way back to Luoyang City." ”

Yu Chenghei's young temperament, and the best martial arts, heard that Lei Boxing Gate was going to besiege Shi Jiadao, and he was overjoyed, and he wanted to see this dragon and tiger fight with his own eyes. It's just that Yu Fan is about to leave here, he is naturally unwilling, and when he is trying to find an excuse to persuade Yu Fan to stay, he suddenly hears the sound of horses' hooves on the road behind him. Yu Fan's face changed, he didn't have time to speak, he stretched out his hand to pull Yu Chenghei, and then hid behind a bush on the side of the road. After a while, five or six tall horses had already swept past the two of them, and rushed straight to the tavern not far away. Immediately after that, someone said loudly: "Young Master, are you here?"

But I heard Shi Tianbao say loudly: "Is it Uncle Shi? The little nephew is here, and there is Uncle Lao Shi." ”

Yu Fan and the others heard the surprise in Shi Tianbao's voice, and they both thought in their hearts: "It seems that Shi Tianbao tracked that strange man out of the Guandi Temple and chased him all the way here, but he was surrounded by the Thunder Fist Gate." Now that his helper has arrived, he is naturally overjoyed. He called the person who came 'uncle', so this person should be Shi Tianbao's father, Shi Nianhao's generation, and his martial arts are much higher than Shi Tianbao's. The two factions started to act at this time, and Wei Qian might not be sure of victory. ”

When Yu Fan was thinking about it, he only heard Uncle Nawei smile and said: "You can't write two histories in one stroke, you are my eldest nephew, I will help you stand in line, what is there to work for." Your daddy is in the back, and he'll be there in a moment. ”

I only heard Shi Tianbao exclaim: "Will my father also come? This, this is strange." ”

Uncle Shi smiled and said: "Eldest nephew, you are your father's most valued son, and the position of the head of the Shi family's sword will be yours sooner or later." Like our old brothers, it's really hard to look at the back of the eldest nephew. ”

But he heard Shi Tianbao smile and said: "Uncle Shi is serious. At that time, I will ask Uncle Shi to take care of him, and my nephew will thank you first. ”

Yu Fan's heart sank, and he thought secretly: "This Uncle Shi is openly touting Shi Tianbao, but it doesn't sound like he has any good intentions. The sentence 'Like our old brothers, it's really hard to look at the back of the eldest nephew' is not a good thing, and it clearly hides a lot of resentment. It's ridiculous that this Shi Tianbao didn't hear it, and thought that this Uncle Shi would really help him. This person has a straw bag, if Shi Nianhao really passed on the position of head to him, he is afraid that the disaster of the Shi family's knife will be in front of him. ”

At this time, I heard a loud laugh and said: "Steward Shi, your old man is also here, it's really rare." ”

Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi glanced at each other, and thought to themselves: "It turns out that this Uncle Shi is the big steward Shi who personally arrived at the Tianyi Inn yesterday. Listening to Shi Tianbao's tone, this person's martial arts status in the Shi family's sword sect is really not low, but I want to see what this person looks like. ”

But I heard Steward Shi say: "Fourth Master Wei is serious. I'm fifteen or sixteen years older than you, and I'm not an old man. Master Yang, why didn't he show up today?"

I only heard Wei Qiandao: "The family teacher heard that Young Master Shi brought dozens of masters from your faction and arrived at Longmen with great momentum, for fear that the two factions would have a misunderstanding, so he originally wanted to come here in person to persuade Young Master Shi." It's just that a few friends from the Songshan faction happened to come to visit, and the family teacher wanted to accompany them to Longmen for a visit, so they sent them down to see Master Shi. Before going out, the family teacher repeatedly told me that Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist are both in the same vein of martial arts, and they have lived in Luoyang City for a long time, and they have been angry with each other for decades, maintaining a peace in Luoyang's left near the rivers and lakes, which is the blessing of the two factions. Twenty-five years ago, under the witness of the presiding master of Shaolin Temple and the head of the Songshan faction, the heads of the two factions of Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist exchanged posts, promising that the two factions would be friendly for generations and not cause trouble. Take the north gate of Luoyang to the south gate as the axis, the north to the Yellow River, the south to the Longmen, the east by the Shijia knife, and the west to the thunder fist gate first. Although this incident happened more than 20 years ago, Steward Shi is an important figure in Shi Jiadao, so I think I know it?"

Steward Shi said with a smile: "This matter is not only known to my Shi family, but also among the major gangs in the martial arts, there are many people who know about it. It's just that fifteen years ago, your faction did not abide by the covenant, and even united with the Huangsha faction, which was difficult for my historian. It's just that under the auspices of the Shaolin monks, the Huangsha faction was destroyed, and your faction also promised not to provoke my Shi Jiadao again. At that time, the head of our faction promised that your faction could act cheaply south of Luoyang City, and there was no more dispute between the two factions......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wei Qian say: "Steward Shi, what you said is not true. Your faction promised us to engage in the Thunder Fist Gate cheaply in the south of Luoyang City, but the Shaolin Temple joined forces with your faction to force the four halls of the Thunder Fist Sect to withdraw from Luoyang City. Originally, Luoyang West City was dominated by Thunder Fist Gate, but it also existed in name only. Steward Shi, you didn't say anything wrong?"

Steward Shi sneered and said, "If it weren't for your faction to attack first, this faction wouldn't have been forced to fight back. In the past ten years, there have been no disputes between our two factions, and Luoyang City has been calm. However, today, Fourth Master Wei led people to trap the disciples of his own faction here, and if this caused a fight between the two factions, he would only be able to explain to his friends in the rivers and lakes. ”

Wei Qian said: "The big housekeeper's words are wrong. It was Shi Dashao of your faction who led people to break into the temple of Emperor Guan Shengjun, harassing pilgrims and disturbing the place. After we heard the news, we came to persuade Shi Dashao not to be reckless. If the chief butler doesn't believe it, he can ask Shi Dashao, has he ever been rude to him?"

Before Steward Shi could speak, he heard Shi Tianbao say angrily: "The surname is Wei, you are blatantly lying! As soon as we walked out of the Guandi Temple, we were deceived by the people of your Lei Fist Sect to come here. If Uncle Shi hadn't arrived, I'm afraid you would have done it a long time ago. ”

Wei Qian said with a smile: "Shi Da Shao's words are serious. I just want to persuade Shi Dashao to return to Luoyang as soon as possible with his friends from your faction, so as not to have a misunderstanding, and it will be difficult to say some things at that time. ”

When he said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "Shi Da Shao, if we have the heart to make things difficult with your faction, Shi Da Shao and these twenty or so friends are afraid that they will either die or be injured at this time." ”

Wei Qian's words were quite polite, and Yu Fan thought secretly in his heart: "This surnamed Wei's speech is both soft and hard, and it does not leak. Compared to him, Shi Tianbao is simply a big straw bag. ”

At this time, someone said in a deep voice: "Fourth Master Wei, what you said is too much. This Guan Emperor Temple was not opened by your Thunder Fist Gate, can't others come here to worship Second Master Guan?"

Wei Qian said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Teacher Peng would also come to catch up with this muddy water." In the past, when we changed posts with Lei Fist and Shi Jiadao, the chief dart head of the Nantong Dart Bureau was also on the scene. The four halls of our Lei Boxing Gate withdrew from Luoyang City according to the agreement, and the south of Luoyang City was ten miles south of Longmen and Yishui, and it was said that it would be taken care of by our Lei Boxing Gate. Today, Shi Dashao didn't say a word, so he led more than 20 people to break into the Guandi Temple and beat people to make trouble, how can we Lei Fist Gate sit idly by? Just like Lei Fist Gate suddenly sent twenty or thirty people to break into the Nantong Dart Bureau in the north of Luoyang City to smash and make trouble, will Shi Jiadao not care?"

Yu Fan thought to himself: "The Nantong Dart Bureau is one of the largest dart games in Henan Province, and the general dart bureau is located in the north of Luoyang City. The chief dart head Peng Yuanxi is good at making a pair of short halberds, although he is not as famous as Tang He, but he is not an unknown person. What's more, the dart players have a deep friendship with the government and the martial arts factions, and have dealings with the underworld, otherwise as soon as the dart car leaves the city gate, it will not be forcibly taxed by the government, but will be robbed by the green forest cottage. is based on this teacher Peng, who is the head of the Nantong Dart Bureau, Peng Yuanxi. Steward Shi was really thoughtful, he knew that if he brought the master of the Shi family knife to the rescue, he would inevitably have a fight with Lei Fist, and he would not be reasonable. It is to make an appointment with the martial arts figures with heads and faces in Luoyang City, firstly, as the strong reinforcement of the Shi Jiadao, which is enough to deter the Thunder Fist Gate, so that the other party does not dare to act rashly. Second, it can mediate in the middle, so as not to make a big move and cause a fire between the two factions. And Peng Yuanxi, who is left and right in the rivers and lakes and officialdom, is undoubtedly the best candidate. This big steward Shi is very powerful, and in terms of talent, he is far above the straw bag of Brother Tianbao. ”

But I heard Teacher Peng smile and said, "What Fourth Master Wei said is good. When your faction and Shi Jiadao made an alliance, they did divide the spheres of influence of the two factions in this way. It's just that as far as Peng knows, the friends of Shi Jiadao went to the Guandi Temple this time, not to embarrass your faction, but to be ordered by the Han Governor of Luoyang City to assist the yamen in arresting the tomb robbers. Shi Dashao led people to track down the suspected bandits to the Guandi Temple, and then he started. Fourth Master Wei, Shi Jiadao, and Lei Fist Sect promised in the covenant that they would not send disciples to the area controlled by the other party to provoke the other party. Shi Dashao was ordered by the imperial court to go on business, but you, Fourth Master Wei, blocked it, which is reasonable, I am afraid that Lei Fist Sect has done too much. ”

Yu Fan secretly admired and thought: "This surnamed Peng is really amazing, he made things clear in a few words, and used the government to suppress Lei Fist." Since Lei Fist Sect prides itself on the right path, he naturally does not dare to confront the government, but he is afraid that today's dumb loss will be decided. ”
