In the third year of Xianping, April twenty-two. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sky is cloudy with light rain, the rain in Yangzhou has always been like this, although the raindrops are not big, but thick and dense, like the love silk in the heart of the twenty-eight girl. The thin and handsome young man held an oil-paper umbrella and walked down the road leading to the rudder of the Cao Gang, the yellow mud on the road was wet and sticky, and the hem of his azure robe was also stained with a lot of mud. The young man didn't care, didn't mention the hem in the slightest, but walked faster, and splashed even higher.

As Sikong Gu expected, this time the Cao Gang did not let people meet him at the ferry, probably because he already had a good relationship with the Cao Gang on the surface, and there was really no need to do this kind of "face work". Of course, Yang Shuo's departure the day before his visit may have been the main reason.

Although the plan has changed, but Sikong Gu did not have a trace of uneasiness, when he walked to the front of the house, the big man under the plaque of "Cao Yun Tianxia" greeted him, Sikong Gu felt that the person was a little familiar, when he spoke, Sikong Gu remembered that this person was the day of the decisive battle with Yangdaomen, Dongfang Ling, who chased Yang Shuo away.

Today, Dongfang Ling is not as unkempt as when he first came out of prison, the grass-like beard is gone, and the clothes are extremely neat, he looks like he is only thirty years old, and he thinks he is a representative of the Cao Gang Qingzhuang faction.

"Sure enough, the Cao Gang has split, and this is to take advantage of me. ”

Seeing that it was this person who came out to greet him, not Nangong Jun or other important people, Sikong Gu had already guessed Nangong Jun's inner thoughts: Nangong Jun deliberately neglected himself to show his qualifications to lead the Cao Gang. At the beginning, Li Yan led everyone to the ferry, and later after he was "seriously injured by the people in the Shenmen", Yang Shuo visited the door again and again, and the two gang leaders attached so much importance to a nobody, and the old stubborn people in the Cao Gang were already extremely dissatisfied with this weakness.

On his visit this time, although he came to the door as a help-seeker, it was very clear to both the Cao Gang and the entire Jianghu - he was the benefactor of the Cao Gang, and Nangong Jun let himself be treated coldly, and let a gang member who had some contradictions with him that day greet him, presumably in order to create a tough image, and then to win over the old stubborn support, right?

"Sikong Shaoxia, please. ”

The voice was mellow and slightly sincere, but the trace of anger in his eyes couldn't be hidden, which made Sikong Gu, who was a few years younger than Dongfang Ling, couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is a little tender."

Sikong said in his lonely mouth: "Nangong Daxia really took great pains to gain the support of the forces in the gang. ”

Dongfang Ling heard this, but he was stunned, from this expression, Sikong Gu knew that this young man didn't know the purpose of Nangong Jun arranging him to greet him, so he couldn't help but shake his head, so he ignored Dongfang Ling, the "master", and walked to the lobby with ease.

There, Nangong Jun and the former gang leader Li Yan who has stepped down have been waiting for a long time, although the two of them want to exchange the WeChat of the gang for Nangong Jun by taking advantage of the high posture in front of Sikong Gu today, but in the end they can't save Sikong Gu's face, no matter how to say that Sikong Gu "was seriously injured and bedridden for more than 20 days" is also because of the dispute between the Cao Gang and Yangdaomen, some gestures are shown to others, but when the spectators are not looking, they still have to pretend to be grandsons.

"That Sikong Shaoxia is a smart man, treat smart people with smart people, he will understand. ”

"Yes...... Will there be a reputation that is not good for us in this Jianghu, after all, that Sikong Meng Yuan is also a benefactor of this gang. ”

"Who has the final say on what can and can't be said in Yangzhou? Ajun, you have to adapt to this new situation. ”

Thinking of the conversation with Li Yan this morning, and seeing Sikong Gu secretly smiling at him, Nangong Jun sighed that Jiang was still old and spicy.

So, in full view of everyone, Sikong Gu entered the lobby of the Cao Gang, which was already very familiar, and waited for a while, both sides did not say a word, just when the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Sikong Gu said aloud: "The kid is harassing your gang today, but there is something to ask for." ”

"Sikong Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, when you dealt with Yangdaomen, you also contributed a lot to our gang, since you have something to ask for today, you don't have to be polite. ”

This sound extremely polite at first glance, but with Shangnangong Jun's cold and hard voice and the solemn environment in the lobby, it really looks like an irrelevant person has come to the door to ask for something.

Such cold words stopped in Sikong Gu's ears but were extremely pleasant, and Sikong Gu knew very well in his heart: the more cold Nangong Jun was, the more carefully arranged he must be, if he opened his mouth to go to half of the Cao Gang, presumably Nangong Jun would also "agree strongly". But Sikong Gu knew very well in his heart that his purpose was only to obtain the moral and human support of the Cao Gang, and to "take revenge" on the Shenmen for the Sikong family, even the ten or eight current Cao Gang would have no effect.

That Hu Yun alone can probably defeat all the masters of the Cao Gang in this hall, not to mention that there are two top masters in the world, Yang Feiqiu and Man Hongsha, in the Divine Gate.

Thinking of that Hu Yun, Sikong Gu felt a little uneasy in his heart, where would he be now? Jia San said that he left Yangzhou and went north, but the intelligence network left by Mr. Wu was only limited to Jiangzuo, and this Jiangbei generation was completely foggy.

Thinking of this, Sikong Gu reacted that this is the lobby of the Cao Gang.

"As soon as Yang Dexi leaves, is my heart also messed up?"

With this kind of thought, Sikong Lone showed a smile on his face that made Nangong Jun extremely relieved: "The kid Wen Cao helps Ming righteousness, knows black and white, extends righteousness in the rivers and lakes in the dark, and defends the road in the world, so the kid has something to ask for." ”

The attitude is extremely respectful, and the posture is very low, although it does not seem to be forced by Nangong Jun's might, but it will not make the Cao Gang lose face.

After Sikong Gu and Nangong Jun made a scene, they finally came to a result-

The Cao Gang ordered thirty disciples to help Sikong Gu revive the Sikong family, which had disappeared for ten years in Jiangning, and 20% of the Sikong family's income in Jiangning would be paid to the Cao Gang in the future.

It seems to be an equivalent exchange, but neither Nangong Jun nor Sikong Gu took the twenty percent income to heart, in Nangong Jun's opinion, Sikong Gu did not ask the Cao Gang for twenty percent of the income, it was already a great way to give himself face, and the so-called twenty percent income was about just a play that Sikong Gu accompanied himself, and at that time, even if Sikong Gu gave it, he would not be embarrassed to ask for it; and in Sikong Gu's view, Sikong Jia was just a pedal arranged by Mr. Wu, and it was part of the plan to defeat the Shenmen, so naturally he would not care.

Of course, Sikong Gu knew very well that Nangong Jun was acting, which means that what he really needed might not even be thirty disciples, could it be that Sikong Gu really only needed Cao Gang's statement?

Li Yan does not believe that Sikong Gu is the kind of person who believes in "sweeping thousands of armies with a sword", with his actions in Yangzhou, this kid's wisdom is unmatched in the rivers and lakes, at least there are few people who can compare, even if he killed Jin Youde and his wife with a sword, but it is just a superb martial arts. In the rivers and lakes, a person is completely different from a group of people, and it is impossible not to understand this when he is already lonely and smart......

So, why did he only need the Cao Gang to support thirty people? Could the Chu family and the Situ family in Jiangning also be like raising a knife in his eyes? Let him play with the applause?

After Sikong Gu left, facing Nangong Jun with a red face in the small hall, Li Yan wanted to speak several times.

"Well, it won't be harmful to my gang anyway. ”

In the third year of Xianping, on the twenty-fourth day of April, thirty masters sent by the Cao Gang set off with Sikong Gu, who became famous for killing Jin Youde and his wife with a sword, and officially issued a notice claiming that he wanted to return to Jiangning to regain the foundation of Sikong family.

In the rivers and lakes in May of the third year of Xianping, the name of this young man was circulated in countless taverns and post stations, Sikong Gu, a mysterious but powerful name.

At this time, Jiangning is still prosperous.

After the Sikong family was slaughtered by Mr. Wu, the family property left behind was taken over by the Sikong family, but the inheritance involving the rivers and lakes was divided between the Chu family and the Situ family, which were the other two alongside the "three major families in Jiangning", of which the Chu family accounted for about sixty percent and the Situ family accounted for about forty percent.

Sikong Gu wants to come back, not only posing a threat to the distant relatives of the Sikong family, but also casting a layer of unease on the powerful Chu family and the Situ family.

Although Sikong Gu can be described as "exhaustive" in Yangzhou, it is a plan that has been arranged for more than three years, and the executor can implement it perfectly step by step, so it is extremely successful. But today, when he went to Jiangning District, Sikong Gu really crossed the river by feeling the stones, and one step at a time.

At this time, the Luoyang Shenmen was divided, and the Shenmen sword made Hu Yun and the sword make Man Hongsha play against each other in the backyard.

Of course, this "game" is not only a chess competition, the pebbles are clouds, the stone wall is the chessboard, the two of them have strong internal strength, and the wind is born, so that the birds and birds in the big trees in the backyard are scattered.

"Xilong, that Sikong Gu is really superb in martial arts?"

When the chess was in the middle game, when the fierce battle was in full swing, Man Hongsha, who had always been taciturn, suddenly asked Hu Yun.

"Why did Tan Liu also ask about him? I didn't expect you to be interested in anything other than the sword. ”

"I just want to know the truth behind these rumors. ”

After Hu Yun successfully killed the dragon, the stones in Man Hongsha's hands were scattered to the ground, and he had already lost interest in this game of "chess", and the competition between the two came to an end.

"He's better than me. ”

Hu Yun seemed to know that Man Hongsha would not be satisfied with this simple answer, so he added:

"His swordsmanship is very strange, but it is somewhat similar to the swordsmanship of the door master, and I also asked the door master ......"

"Nine Swords of the Hidden Gate?"

The red sand finally showed surprise, and Hu Yun was surprised to find that this "stone sword" looked like this.

"No, although his swordsmanship is like the Nine Swords of the Hidden Gate, it is by no means the Nine Swords of the Hidden Gate, and the Nine Swords of the Hidden Gate have nine basic sword moves, among which some of the sword moves focus on dexterity, some focus on strength, and some focus on changing momentum...... Nine moves and nine categories, clearly distinguished, are combined to have infinite power. The master of the door did not cultivate the nine basic internal skills, but only had sword moves, and there were no nine types of changes......"

"I also know this, but what's wrong with Sikong Lone Sword Technique?"

Hu Yun hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "His sword ...... It's just fast. ”

"Only fast?"

"Yes, it's too fast to see...... And I feel like he's keeping his hand. ”

A glimmer of light seemed to flash in Man Hongsha's eyes, and his tone was a little more surprised: "Fighting against you, did he still keep his hand?"

After Hu Yun nodded, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask ......?"

Hu Yun's words were ordinary, but the answer had already flashed in his mind.

Seeing Hu Yun staring at his appearance, Man Hongsha also nodded, confirming Hu Yun's guess:

"Because the master of the door ordered me to go to Jiangning. ”

This answer was simple and clear, but it made Hu Yun stunned.
