"Huh...... Forget it, it's just a mess, although it's hard for me, but ...... It's harmless, maybe Zhang Xuan made a mistake, maybe they are from the Nine Poisons Hall......"

"That adult" seemed to be talking to Zhang Xuan, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

And Zhang Xuan was already dead, lying on the ground, and a pool of blood slowly dispersed.

"Anyway, it makes me very passive......"

The adult's tone was a little frustrated.

"Your Excellency. ”

A voice came from the shadows.

"What's the matter?" asked the adult without looking back.

"If something goes wrong with the crossbow, do you have to ......make some changes to your plan?" asked a voice in the shadows.

"Hmph...... No," said the man, "but even if I wanted to, I couldn't. ”

"What do you mean ......?"

"I mean, you, do you change the tires while the car is moving?" asked the adult.

"No, how can such a thing ......?"

"That's not the end of it. The adult said, "Now our plan, like a car, is already moving, and this ring, the tires of the car, although they are broken, are still usable, and our car is driving at high speed, and we can't stop if we want to." ”

"So, don't the tires get a puncture?" asked the voice in the shadows.

"No...... It's not that serious. "Although the damage is not light, it is far from a puncture." ”

"The subordinate understood. A voice in the shadows answered.

"Well, it's good to understand, that's right," the adult changed his words, "What's the progress on the Tang Sect's side?"

"Zimingtang. The voice in the shadows replied, "I'm going to attack Zimingtang tomorrow." ”

"Oh?" said the adult, surprised, "sooner than I expected."

"Great. He clapped his hands, "This is finally some good news." ”

“...... It seems that some means have been used, saying that Zimingtang will soon be submitted. The voice in the shadows said.

"Well, no matter what means are used, as long as Zimingtang can submit. The lord said, "I can accept a little loss...... However, if the soldiers took Zimingtang without blood, it would be the best. ”

"Yes......"

The lord said again: "Now that the Nine Poison Hall is dominant, the three halls of the Tang Sect together can't be compared, if they suffer any more heavy casualties, it will really be impossible to make a climate." When the time comes, let alone contain the Nine Poison Hall, you won't even be able to delay time. ”

"My lord, why don't you just start a war with the Nine Poison Hall......" said a voice in the shadows.

"Do you think I don't want to?" the adult asked.

"Subordinate......

"Of course not. The lord quickly added.

"Uh, my lord?" the voice in the shadows was surprised.

The lord said: "I said that we will return to the throne of the overlord of the Sichuan land, but we have not recovered our vitality yet, and we must not suffer heavy losses, otherwise, even if we win the position of the overlord of the Sichuan land, we will not be able to command the heroes of the Sichuan land-the order depends on strength, and the strength is greatly damaged, who else will listen to the order? Besides, if our strength declines to the second-rate level, what else can we use to argue with the Wuyi Society?"

"However, our actions will also be known to the Wuyi Society, right? they have been monitoring us......"

"No," said the lord, "they don't know yet, because we're all working in secret." ”

"That's ......"

"I see, you are frightened by the name of the Wuyi Society," said the adult, "it is true that if we blatantly raise the banner of 'return to the overlord of the Sichuan Land,' then the Wuyi Society will definitely know, and they will soon intervene to stop our actions, so that the opportunity to regain hegemony will be lost." Since it is not possible to do it blatantly, then we will act in secret. ”

"So you didn't even hide the helm handle......" the voice in the shadows realized.

"Yes," said the lord, "if you want to hide from your enemies, you must first hide from your own people." ”

"Subordinates understand ......"

"I don't think you get it yet," the adult chuckled, "do you know what the Wuyi Society cares about the most?"

"Yes...... The Jianghu sect is safe and guarded. The voice in the shadows replied.

"Yes, eight or nine is not far from ten. The adult affirmed, "'Stability,' to be exact." The thing that Wuyi Society is most concerned about is whether the rivers and lakes can maintain 'stability'. ”

"Stable ......"

"Once you've figured this out, you'll know how to achieve your goals without alarming the Ushisha......," the lord said leisurely, "Whatever we're going to do, as long as we can keep it stable, we'll be fine—for example, to get to the Kawachi." ”

"Is it really possible...... the voice in the shadows expressed doubt.

"No," said the lord, "stability is only half of that. ”

"Huh?" the voice in the shadows was a little surprised, what did the adults mean by this?

"The other half is strength. The lord continued, "Only if we are strong can we sit on the throne worthy of the name. Now, although my brotherhood is nominally the overlord of Sichuan, but for so many years since the attack of the Wuyi Society, do you see which sect in Sichuandi really regards us as the overlord of Sichuan? Not at all, you see we talk, how many sects have listened? Not at all! When it has nothing to do with themselves, call us the overlord of Sichuan, and when it comes to their vital interests, we are just a fart, no, not even a fart, and the fart still has a sound. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand," the voice in the shadows grew indignant, "over the years, we have indeed had enough of the anger of those impudent people......!

"Rude, hey!" the lord seemed to have heard something funny, "where are the polite people in this whole world? No, this is the gathering place of the rude, if everyone in the world is polite, then there will be no rivers and lakes—they are all outlaws who are not allowed to be in the world, and you expect them to be polite?"

The voice in the shadows did not speak, speechless.

The lord said, "Therefore, our position as the overlord is a false title. What doesn't exist, what is in name only. ”

"That's true. ”

"So, this time it is to make this overlord's position ......famous," the lord said in a deep voice, "If we can hang the Tang Sect without losing our strength, then the entire Sichuan will see the strength of our elders' guild, even if it is the Wuyi Society, they will not dare to underestimate us, and they will cooperate with us to maintain the stability and order of the Sichuan land." ”

"We cooperate with the Wuyi Society......" The voice in the shadows hesitated again.

People in the rivers and lakes regard the Wuyi Society as a jackal, tiger and leopard, because he represents the official power, and if he moves it, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the worldly government, and the consequences of the rivers and lakes interfering in the world are obvious. The secular government was furious, and the sect that touched the moldy head of the Wuyi Society will be wiped out.

It is precisely for this reason that all the Jianghu sects, in front of the Wuyi Society, are like trembling cattle and sheep, except for those outlaws who dare to play with the Wuyi Society, if the ordinary sect does something unseemly, they are caught by the Wuyi Society, and they can only be caught with their hands tied. Because if you are captured, there is still life, and if you rise up and resist, you will be uprooted and killed.

And the most terrible thing is that although the times have progressed, but the livelihood of the rivers and lakes has changed, and the gap is not much from before, the famous faction in ancient times had arable land, famous, with these things, enough to eat and drink, and even prosperous, to modern times, such as the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, the best of the best, such as Shaolin Wudang, still enjoy a reputation in the world, the family is big, and the food and clothing are worry-free.

In the modern Republic of China, the party gangs were popular, and once the nine-stream dragon and snake rose sharply, and it was able to compete with the three famous sects.

But the golden age can not last, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the party gangs in the rolling torrent of the times crashed down, the nine-stream dragon snake returned to the ancient days of the disgraceful, engaged in illegal activities, in fact, the current nine-stream gangs, most of them are engaged in non-hair, but rarely affect the world, so the Wuyi Society is allowed to the nine-stream themselves toss. Gangs that want to expand their business into the mundane world often die miserably. The living sects have learned to be obedient, and even if there are those who interfere in the world, they are all cautious and act in secret.

It is precisely because the positions of the Jianghu sect and the Wuyi Society are completely unequal, and the strength is also very different, so the people in the rivers and lakes hate and fear the Wuyi Society, no wonder he heard the adult say that the elder brother will cooperate with the Wuyi Society, and there will be such a big reaction.

“...... That's not surprising. The adult smiled, as if he already knew his thoughts, "The times are different, the current rivers and lakes are not the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly." As for the Wuyi Society, they hope that we can decline and die out gradually. Their ideas are not wrong, now the resources in the rivers and lakes are not enough for all the sects, if one person gets a piece of the pie, then the whole rivers and lakes will starve to death because they can't eat. Let's be honest, those resources can only feed a part of the sect. ”

"This ......" The voice in the shadows was stunned, it was the first time he had heard such a statement, and he had never thought about it before.

"Didn't expect that?" said the adult with a smile, "That's how the world is now. The rivers and lakes are in decline, and if it continues like now, then most of the sects will eventually die out. ”

"Then, we have to ...... too"

"Because I've seen through that, I'm not going to let us, let the Elders, get to this point. ”
