Chapter 128: Disciple
From Baicheng's return to the mountain, to the visit of Fei Jiugong, Miao Yaotian, and Zhao Yidao, it was only one night's effort, and even Baicheng had to admire Liu Qingshan's fast action and high efficiency.
Of course, it is more likely that Liu Qingshan had already prepared for Bai Cheng's return to the mountain, and even when Bai Cheng and Lin Su were still in the Nine Immortals Temple, he had already received the news, otherwise he would not have arranged for Cheng Shiming to intercept him in the valley.
Bai Cheng suddenly thought that if from that time on, Liu Qingshan had already sent someone to contact Fei Jiugong and ask him to ask Miao Yaotian and Zhao Yidao to come to worship the mountain together, then did it mean that Liu Qingshan didn't believe that Cheng Shiming could stop him at all, in other words, Liu Qingshan didn't trust Cheng Shiming from beginning to end.
Thinking of this, Bai Cheng suddenly became worried about Cheng Shiming.
Bai Cheng sank into his thoughts for a while, and he didn't expect someone behind him to gently drag him, and when he turned around, it was Jiang Yifan, Elder Jiang's nephew.
Jiang Yifan was dressed in a white silk robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Bai has been absent for a long time. ”
Because of Bai Tiehan's matter, Bai Cheng had a good impression of him, and bowed his hand and said: "Senior Brother Jiang has not been seen for a long time, and I am really sorry that I came back in a hurry this time, and I didn't have time to visit Senior Brother Jiang." ”
Jiang Yifan shook the folding fan lightly, signaling that it was okay, and then said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Bai is polite, junior brother has something to discuss, please take a step to speak." ”
Bai Cheng heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, knowing that he must have been sent by Jiang Fanghe, so he said, "Senior Brother Jiang will lead the way." ”
Jiang Yifan nodded, turned around and walked towards a forest next to the avenue, with Bai Cheng following closely behind.
The two walked seventeen or eighteen zhang away in the forest, and it was estimated that the people outside could no longer hear the two of them talking, Jiang Yifan suddenly stopped.
Seeing that he was stopped, Bai Cheng asked, "I don't know what Senior Brother Jiang has to say?"
Jiang Yifan didn't answer directly, but stretched out his hand and pointed at the people beside him, and asked, "Dare to ask Senior Brother Bai, do you know how many apprentices Master Liu has?"
Bai Cheng never expected him to ask such a simple question, almost thinking that Jiang Yifan was joking, he glanced up and down, and saw that his face remained unchanged, before he replied: "There are two disciples under the sect of Master Liu, the eldest disciple Dong Fang, and the second disciple Wang Yu." Doesn't Senior Brother Jiang know?"
Jiang Yifan smiled bitterly and said, "What Senior Brother Bai said, the junior brother naturally knows, but my uncle asked me to bring a message to Senior Brother Bai." ”
Bai Cheng wondered that Jiang Fanghe didn't say anything last night, but asked Jiang Yifan to bring it today, and asked, "What did Uncle Jiang say?"
Jiang Yifan seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Uncle said that Master Liu has only one disciple. ”
Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, what does Uncle Jiang mean by this?"
Jiang Yifan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Little brother doesn't understand either, but my uncle said that Senior Brother Bai grew up in the door since he was a child, and he knows the rules of the door well, so he should be able to understand it." ”
Bai Cheng muttered to himself, "The rules in the door, what does this have to do with how many disciples Master Liu has?
Jiang Yifan shook his head and said, "That's what my uncle said. ”
Bai Cheng was silent, a look of confusion appeared on his face, pacing in the forest, walking, suddenly his body was shocked, and exclaimed: "Is it because of this? I see, I understand." But how is that possible?"
Jiang Yifan said strangely: "Senior Brother Bai understands, what does uncle mean by his old man?"
Bai Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”
The day is near.
Lu Baoshi was already a little anxious to wait, and the disciples under his door were also impatient, looking into the distance from time to time.
Liu Qingshan and Jiang Fanghe sat steadily, without any impatient expression, talking and laughing. Du Qi and Geng Jiu stood aside and talked to the two.
Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, but the sound of hooves was like thunder, and more than ten horses swept up the mountain like a gallop, and the knights were all dressed in green cloth and arrows, covered their heads with green paps, and carried sharp shoes on their feet, tied with leggings that were chasing thousands of waves, and carried Xueliang sharp knives behind their backs.
People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, people are also vigorous, horses are also majestic, each horse is high head and long legs, the whole body is snow-white, there is not a single miscellaneous hair, the person who comes is a total of sixteen horses, although the number is not much, but the momentum is strong, but it seems that there are thousands of horses in general.
Du Qi and Geng Jiu said loudly when they saw it: "Fei Lao is here." ”
Bai Cheng was also shocked when he saw these knights, Fei Jiugong had not yet realized how powerful he was, but as far as more than a dozen horses were concerned, Fei Jiugong was by no means an ordinary person.
More than a dozen horsemen came to everyone, grabbed the reins and dismounted their horses, and shouted in unison: "White Horse Yicong to meet Master Liu." ”
Liu Qingshan smiled, got up and picked everyone up, and asked, "Has Fei Lao arrived?"
Among them, the leading knight replied loudly: "Fei Lao has arrived two miles away, and sent us to pay a visit first." ”
Liu Qingshan turned around, looked at the people in the door, and said with a smile: "Fei Lao is here, why don't we go and greet him?"
The people had no choice but to go with him to meet him.
The crowd walked along the avenue to the outside of the mountain, and after walking for more than a mile, they saw a group of people and horses coming slowly in the distance, surrounded by more than 100 people.
The forty or fifty people who walked in front were all on foot, and they were divided into two teams, all of them were earth-colored light armor, thick-soled official boots, and holding a cooked copper stick, which was the personal guard under the banner of Houtu.
The twenty or thirty people who followed were all dressed in fiery red leather armor, holding copper rings in their hands, and their faces were hideous, as if they were preparing to fight people, these were the dead soldiers of the Flame Gate.
Walking at the back were twenty or thirty big men, all of whom were as pale as iron, with dark complexions, and carrying a large ring knife on their backs, all of whom were masters of the Quick Knife Gang.
Seeing this posture, Bai Cheng muttered: "Today, the elites of the Thick Earth Banner, the Flame Gate, and the Quick Knife Gang are all out, and this posture is to flatten the Flying Star Gate." ”
A disciple next to him overheard Bai Cheng's muttering, staggered in fright, and asked tremblingly, "Senior brother, are we going to do something with them?"
Bai Cheng smiled and said, "If you really start to do it, what about you?"
The disciple thought for a moment and said, "Then I can only fight with them." ”
Bai Cheng patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Good brother!"
Bai Cheng was talking here, and there was a deafening laughter over there.
Bai Cheng looked up and saw a burly old man in gold with white hair laughing, riding to the front of the team, shouting: "Brother Liu, you have always been good!"
Liu Qingshan slammed the old man to the ground and said, "Liu Qingshan pays a visit to Fei Zhangqi. ”
Fei Jiugong jumped off the horse, lifted him up, and shouted: "You and I are like brothers, why should my brother be polite." ”
Liu Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "Fei Lao is above, how dare he be presumptuous below." ”
The two of them were polite, and two more people came out of the line behind them.
One of them was dressed in red like fire, with yellow hair like gold, and in his hand he held a thumb-thick, one-foot-square gold ring, and his face was full of hideous colors.
The other man had a grim face, his eyebrows were like knives, his complexion was dark, he was nine feet tall, and he stood next to him like an iron tower, and behind his back was a golden-backed mountain knife.
The two came to Liu Qingshan, "snapped", knelt down together, and said, "Miao Yaotian (Zhao Yidao), meet the eldest brother." ”
Liu Qingshan coughed lightly, held the arms of the two, and said, "Second brother and third brother, please hurry up, the two of you have always had a lot of affairs, why do you have time to see the eldest brother today?"
Miao Yaotian sneered and said, "Brother Liu, my third brother and I heard that your Flying Star Gate has not been peaceful recently, and some people in the door are dissatisfied with the eldest brother and have come to work for the eldest brother. ”
Zhao Yidao also said lightly: "The sword mountain is a sea of fire, but it is on the orders of the eldest brother." ”
As soon as the two spoke, the audience was silent, and no one spoke.
