Chapter 111 and Three: Staggered Plots (I)
"Are you back? Caught Cao Haotian?" Lu Taiji saw the three people who appeared at the door, Mu Daoyan, Fang Lixing and Wang Zhiqiu hurriedly broke through the crowd and came to the innermost wooden case in the hall of Tianxianglou, Wang Zhiqiu shook his head at him, looking helpless.
"How is this possible... The three of you went out at the same time, how could you let him run away? Besides, he was seriously wounded. Lu Taiji stared at Mu Daoyan in front of him, couldn't believe his eyes, and moved his gaze to the back of the three people, in the direction of the main entrance of Tianxiang Building, and confirmed that there was no figure of Cao Haotian, and was very surprised.
Mu Daoyan came to Lu Taiji's side, glanced at Wang Zhiqiu, and then sat down and picked up a cup of tea and tasted it slowly. Wang Zhiqiu bowed his head and whispered, telling Lu Taiji in detail about the three of them in the green bamboo forest. "Did you let Cao Haotian run away?" Jian Yu, the head of the Hengshan faction, asked as he looked in the direction of Wang Zhiqiu and Fang Lixing.
Then the heads of the various factions made trouble, and Yu Qingyun glanced back at the direction of the main gate, but there was no trace. "Tianxiang Six Swords dispatched three masters, but they returned in vain. Could it be that someone on the other side answered?"
"Senior Brother Yu is reasonable, our eight factions gathered in Luoyang, and even friends from Wujian Villa also came to this martial arts," Wang Chengde had a smile on his face, and looked at Ye Lin and Liu Tianjiang's ways, as if he was clinging. He turned his body and said in a whisper, "All of us almost died here, and this matter must have nothing to do with Cao Haotian." If there are still people in Tianxianglou who secretly collude with him, I am afraid that the alliance between our eight factions and Tianxianglou..." Cao Haotian, as the second leader of Tianxiang Building, was also responsible for the eight factions meeting, but he was actually a spy of the southern barbarians lurking in the Central Plains, and no one dared to guarantee whether there were other spies lurking in Tianxiang Building.
"That's right, you Tianxianglou must find out the people behind the scenes and give us eight factions an explanation. Yun Mo, the head of the Songshan faction, took the lead in attacking, "Our Songshan faction believes that Tianxianglou will not be restrained by the barbarians in the south, even if the lord of Murong Lou is captured by the barbarian king. Tianxianglou will definitely take the righteous path of martial arts in the world as the public, and will not become a minion of the barbarians. ”
Songshan Sect Yun Mo bluntly said that Tianxianglou would take some drastic actions against the Eight Sects because Murong Jue was captured by the barbarians, and everyone was even more frightened when they heard it, and some of the disciples of the Eight Sects had not yet recovered from the coffin explosion in the hall just now. "Senior Brother Yun is serious, the Emei faction believes in Tianxianglou, and the Murong family will not do anything that goes against the righteous path of martial arts. Zijin Zhenren put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and drank Yun Mo's words, she said in her heart that the top priority should be to stabilize the relationship between the eight factions and Tianxianglou, if the alliance of the eight factions falls apart because of this matter, it will definitely cause more bloody rain in the rivers and lakes.
"Amitabha" Shaolin abbot Master Fang Yan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and the abbot Fang Yan shouted a Buddha horn, and his voice was extremely loud, "I believe that today's things will not be what you want to see, during the martial arts of the eight factions, my Shaolin was invaded by gangsters, and more than half of the disciples in the temple were killed and injured." Like you, I believe that this matter must be inseparable from the barbarians, but if you use the strength of one faction, it may be difficult to compete with it. The most important thing at the moment should be that the eight factions should unite and try their best to rescue the owner of the Murong Building. And the head of the Wudang Sect, Lingxu Zhenren, who was standing beside him, looked at everyone quietly, wanting to speak and stopping.
"Master Fang Yan is right, none of our factions in the rivers and lakes can fight against the barbarians on their own, and now we should unite the forces of all the sects to crusade against the barbarians again. Jian Yu, the head of the Hengshan faction, got up, waved his hand and shouted, "Right now, strong enemies are around, and our eight factions and Tianxianglou must not lose a big one because of a small thing. ”
"What is small and what is big? Master Jian said lightly? Crusade against the barbarians, this place is thousands of miles away from the southern border. More than 100 years ago, we sent our ancestors to the south together, and we almost lost everything. Could it be..."Qing Xuzi, the head of the Hengshan faction, said angrily, he looked at everyone with a worried face, although the Hengshan faction was located in the north, but the duel more than a hundred years ago made the top masters of the Hengshan faction almost all wiped out, which also made the Hengshan faction's status in the martial arts in the past hundred years like a river.
"Go south? This matter has to be discussed in the long run! In the southern miasma land, even if we have Caiyue Pill to protect us, it will be difficult to stay for a long time, not to mention that we don't know where the Lord of Murong Lou is, or is it not too late to investigate clearly, what do you think?" Wang Chengde saw that the two heads of the Hengshan faction and the Hengshan faction were arguing, he got up and persuaded him, he looked at the Lingxu real person with a solemn face beside Master Fang Yan, and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Lingxu Dao, you have something to say." ”
"Me?" Lingxu Zhenren was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Wang Chengde with a dry smile, "Let's discuss first... Discuss"
"Discussion? What kind of discussion is this?" Wang Chengde snorted coldly, "Now it is the time of life and death for the eight factions, Shaolin was slaughtered in the past, maybe the next one..."
"Senior Brother Wang didn't say it explicitly, so I'll break it. Maybe the next one will be one of us, a few of us, or... All...."Jian Yu, the head of the Hengshan faction, his face turned red, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly laughed, "Are you just sitting here and waiting to be killed, letting the barbarians kill wantonly?"
"Okay, let's stop fighting. Lu Taiji shouted, calming the situation that had just been arguing. He looked at everyone and whispered to Tang Yuan under the wooden corridor on the left, "King Fu's Mansion and Tianxianglou are co-located in Luoyang, and His Royal Highness King Fu lives in the temple, I believe that Brother Tang will definitely not see the barbarians commit it again." ”
During the dispute between the heads of the eight factions, Tang Yuan and Tang Lanfeng had been sitting quietly in the banquet under the wooden corridor on the right side of Tianxiang Tower, silently, waiting for the situation to change. At this moment, seeing that Lu Taiji, the head of the six swords of Tianxianglou, asked himself first, he affirmed, "This is natural, the barbarians are a great disaster for the imperial court, and they are the mortal enemies of my Tangjiabao, we will never stand idly by." ”
"Okay, on behalf of Tianxianglou, thank you Brother Tang for your support, you can go back to the house with Brother Ling first, and we will definitely send someone to visit after Tianxianglou and the head of the eight factions make a decision." Lu Taiji clasped his hands into fists and bowed in salute.
"Then our Tang brothers will leave first. Tang Yuan got up and saluted back. Then he and Tang Lanfeng walked towards the front of Tianxiang Tower.
"Wait," the head of Wudang, Lingxu Zhenren, placed the sleeve of his right hand on his chest, and the dust in his hand hung under his robe, "There are still some things that have not yet been clarified about the disappearance of Tang Lanfeng and the owner of Murong Building..."
"It doesn't matter, we've got an arrangement. Lu Taiji took a few steps to the right, came to the Lingxu Zhenren, and said in a low voice, "Cao Haotian has been taken away by the Jinyi Guard, if he is still in a stalemate with the Fuwang Mansion at this time, it will be unfavorable to our Tianxiang Building, and it will also be unfavorable to the Eight Sects." ”
