When Ling Li found Yu Rui's room, it seemed that the meeting had been going on for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he crouched under the window and listened. It was dusk, and the sunset shone directly on him, illuminating him to sweat a little, but what made him sweat even more was that he heard Yu Rui call the person opposite "Mr. Zhuang".

There are many Mr. Zhuang on the rivers and lakes, but there are not many who can be called so by Yu Rui. He remembered a person in his heart and shuddered-the question is, why does this person need to talk to Yu Rui about business?

I don't know what Yu Rui said before, but I just heard that "Mr. Zhuang" was smiling unceremoniously and said, each other. I don't know Zhuang's previous proposal, how did Brother Yu think about it?

Proposed? It's not about buying and selling. I only heard Yu Rui laugh and said, Didn't Yu come to discuss this matter with Mr. Zhuang? I would like to ask Mr., if we merge the two associations, what will be the benefit to you and me?

Ling Li's heart was cold, and he was convinced of his suitable speculation: It turned out that this Mr. Zhuang was indeed Zhuang Jie, the boss of the Huainan Society. Just listen to Zhuang Jiedao, and the benefits are naturally many. No matter what line of work you do, it's nothing more than grabbing a business. You and I have been fighting for so many years, and everyone can't please us, and no one really overpowers anyone, but the snipe and clam fight each other, and some small doors and small clubs have taken away a lot of business. One of them thinks that our price is too high, and the other is afraid that if we do business with one side, we will have a bad relationship with the other. If it is merged, it is not a problem.

This is a benefit that everyone will say, but it ...... If we don't merge, the disadvantage will be divided between the two families; if we merge, only one family will get the benefits -- should it be Huainan or Heizhu? Besides, Heizhu and Huainan have been at odds for many years, and it is difficult to say that we can really get rid of the previous suspicions. Now the business competition can be said to be a dispute between the two associations, and when the merger of this family and its own family fight, it is even more ridiculous and generous.

What should I do according to Brother Yu's meaning? Zhuang Jie's tone was a little sarcastic.

Yu Rui laughed and said, we are also old friends, Yu Mouming doesn't say secret words, I have no opinion on the merger of these two meetings, there is only one condition, that is, the top position of this new club is given to me, and the second deputy position is for you, I don't know what Brother Zhuang wants?

Zhuang Jie said quietly, Brother Yu said so many unsatisfactory things before, but he didn't take it seriously, and now he said that he had no opinion.

If you let me sit in this seat, I will have my own way of managing people and not letting these things happen unexpectedly.

What does Brother Yu mean is that Zhuang doesn't have the ability to control his subordinates?

Can't. Yu Rui said with a smile. If you want to talk about control, Yu is willing to bow down, and recently there has been a lot of uproar about someone leaving the Black Bamboo Society, so shameless; but the reason why Yu didn't stop him was not because he didn't have the ability to do it, but there was no need to make his own people unhappy; Brother Zhuang's Huainan Club seemed to have never heard of anyone quitting, even if he was old, weak and disabled, he was still loyal in the meeting-it seems that Mr. Zhuang has a good discipline and strict rules, not like Yu is laissez-faire to people- However, in this way, the people of Heizhu are used to being free and loose, and if they suddenly want to listen to Brother Zhuang's various truths, I am afraid that they will not be very comfortable, and it will be very difficult to make a fuss, so Yu Mou proposed to let him sit down in this right position, which is really for the sake of the future of our two conferences!

Brother Yu, in this way, we can't talk about it anyway. Zhuang Jie stood up. I thought that Brother Yu was willing to walk so many ways to get here, and he was somewhat sincere, but who knew that when he opened his mouth, it seemed that he was being coerced.

Don't dare, don't dare Yu Rui said with a smile. In terms of sincerity, I am far worse than Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang not only ran so far by himself, but also brought so many friends with him, everyone worked hard!

Zhuang Jie's face changed color and said, Since you already know, why do you still want to fight with me for this main position, aren't you afraid that I will do it!

How can you know who killed the deer without fighting? Yu Rui said provocatively.

Zhuang Jie snorted. Zhuang admires your courage, if you are willing to withdraw Fang Cai's conditions, Zhuang immediately asked everyone to step back.

Yu Rui looked at him. You're wrong. When you say this, I know that you are far more anxious than me about the merger of the two associations. It's just because you see that after Zuo Tianming died, the Huainan Society has deteriorated, and if you don't find another way out, it will be defeated sooner or later.

You guys aren't much better!" Zhuang Jie couldn't help but say angrily. As soon as you leave, your business will also plummet!

You should understand that compared to you, black bamboo is far from the point of exhaustion. Yu Ruidao. So you should think that since I came here with all my might, of course I would put forward such a condition - if you want to save the Huainan Society, you will always have to pay the price, right?

...... surnamed Yu, Zhuang doesn't want to turn his face with you yet, although our two associations have been fighting each other for many years, there is no head-to-head confrontation. But if you force people too much, Zhuang has no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman and break up in two!

Am I asking too much? What does it mean to be too forceful?" Yu Rui said with a smile. Mr. Zhuang's words are good, but I should have said: If you can think of it, I can also think of it; you will bring people, I will also lead people; if you force people too much, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, and it will be harmless to me, Mr. Zhuang thinks twice!

You......

Yu Rui just sat leisurely, sharp outside the window, but his palms were full of sweat.

The people brought by Zhuang Jie were in the open, but Yu Rui didn't bring anyone at all. At this moment, Ling Li had no sword in his hand, and his injuries were half-healed, if he really made a move, he would not be able to help a little bit. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn around quietly, and when he saw a young tree not far away, he stretched out his hand, broke off the branch that had only grown three points hard, and held it in his hand as a soldier.

If I really do it, I will assassinate Zhuang Jie first. He said in his heart. As long as he dies, the rest is insignificant.

Unexpectedly, when he didn't move, the branch snapped, but made a snapping sound. Zhuang Jie immediately realized it, and turned his head sharply and said, Who!

Yu Rui paused slightly, and said with a smile, Mr. Zhuang, Yu told you that you had someone with you. How, can you figure it out?

Zhuang Jie listened carefully, only to feel that the voice of the person outside the window had completely disappeared, and he secretly said in his heart, Shi Cai was obviously so close to it, but there was no sound - Ling Li had left, Su Fufeng heard that there was something outside, is there still a master I don't know in the Black Bamboo Club?

He hesitated in his heart, but secretly thought, if he was scared away like this, he would lose the bearing of the Huainan Society, and then said, Okay, Brother Yu, you don't say dark things, I don't do dark things, we both brought people here, it's better to have a real sword and a real gun competition, whoever wins, who will be respected!

Yu Rui saw that he was really not afraid, but he also sighed secretly in his heart, and then said, it is naturally easy to fight, but it is useless to lose manpower and merge with the organization in the future, I don't think it would be better if the two of us compared each other.

It's good. Zhuang Jie agreed happily, Ling Li outside the window secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally encircled him. I only heard him go on and say, the time and place today are not suitable, if the day after tomorrow is six o'clock, you and I will fight in Fuqiu, seventy miles to the west!

If you go west here, won't it be too close to your Huainan, not good, not good. Yu Rui said slowly and logically.

Brother Yu thought Zhuang would set up an ambush? Zhuang Jie asked.

In the following sense, there is no need to walk these many roads, and there will be no trace of the wilderness to the north. You and I will have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be divided into winners and losers, and there is no need to spend so much time.

Zhuang Jie snorted and said, whatever you want!

If we stipulate another one, this is an appointment between the two of us, no one is allowed to bring anyone, only allowed to go to the appointment alone, what does Brother Zhuang think?

Zhuang Jie snorted again, just what I wanted. If anyone brings someone here, they will automatically admit defeat!

Yu Rui laughed and said, "That's good." Then Brother Zhuang pleased.

Zhuang Jie glanced at him and walked out without saying a word.

Ling Li saw that the people brought by Zhuang Jie also left one after another, and hurriedly turned the wall to hide his figure, and only after a while did he hear the window open, only to see Yu Rui standing in front of the window.

Sure enough, it's you. Yu Rui saw him and said. You care a lot about me, the old big brother.

I'm worried about the safety of my eldest brother - Ling Li said anxiously - but what's wrong with Black Bamboo, why did he suddenly merge with them?

This is what he proposed. Yu Ruidao.

So why not refuse?

Yielded. Yu Ruidao. If you think about it carefully, if you want to destroy the Huainan Society, this is really a unique and good opportunity.

Miscellaneous...... What? Destroy the Huainan Society?

Yu Rui was a little surprised by the sharp expression. Huainan will be our great enemy, don't you have any questions?

No...... No...... Said sharply. It's just that in this way, are you going to use Zhuang Jie against them and take the opportunity to deal with them?

Yu Rui sneered. He was trying to use me, so why couldn't I use him instead?

Since you have planned it for a long time, then you ...... big brother Why don't you bring more people here? There are at least a dozen people who are suitable for Zhuang Jie, and if they really do it, it will not be dangerous!

What's so scary. Yu Ruidao. In the end, I was the one who won.

Ling Li saw him glancing at him, and for some reason he felt worried.

Eldest brother...... He blurted out.

How?

I will go with you for the duel the morning after tomorrow.

Not necessarily. Yu Ruidao. I haven't planned to violate the rules yet. Besides, you are no longer a person from Heizhu, so why bother to work for me again.

Just because I'm not from Heizhu, if I go, I won't be the person you brought with me—just as a bystander—so it's not a violation! Besides, if you don't violate the rules, brother, you don't know that Zhuang Jie won't change his mind? If he takes someone to go and ignore what he said before, wouldn't it be bad!

If he takes people with him, he admits defeat. Yu Ruidao. He can't kill me anyway, and if a person dies, he will be useless.

But I'm still not at ease...... Ling Li muttered.

Yu Rui looked him up and down for a long time. What do you think you are? Bodyguard? He laughed. Don't think that my eldest brother is old and useless, I don't have to rely on you, a kid who only has branches in his hands!

If I hadn't made a noise outside, where would Zhuang Jie be afraid. He thought about it and said, Shao Xuan also helped me ask someone to cast another sword two days ago, I don't know if it has been cast. If the sword is available by the day after tomorrow, I will go.

Yu Rui had no choice but to shake his head and say, listen to it, I can't control you for a long time.

Ling Li's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but say, big brother, I'm ......

You don't have to. Yu Ruidao. Big brother has been very good to you for more than ten years, and there is no special cultivation for you, you can become a gold medal, it is your own ability, you don't have to thank me, and you don't have to feel that you owe me anything.

No matter what you say, big brother. Said sharply. I'll come to you at the end of the day.

As he spoke, he turned and walked away.

Yu Rui saw that he had walked more than ten steps, and after a while, he smiled and stopped him, sharp!

Ling Li turned back from afar.

You come here. Yu Rui beckoned.

Ling Li hurriedly walked back with a little excitement and inexplicable, waiting for him to speak.

Yu Rui lowered his voice, but said with a smile, next time I want to make love to Fufeng, remember to close the door.

Ling Li was stunned, glared at him falsely, didn't speak, and walked away.

Early the next morning, Ling Li went to the town to look for the iron shop, and the sword had just been cast. He gave it a try, but he took advantage of it, and his depression about the loss of the sword was also diluted a little, and he thanked him and went back to the inn.

Su Fufeng saw that he had a sword, and he also let go of his heart, but said, your injuries have not healed, no matter what, try not to do it. Since the eldest brother has made a deal with others, this is not something we can control.

I understand. Said sharply. If Zhuang Jie doesn't play tricks, I will definitely not do it.

It was foggy in the middle of the night, and it was quite chilly. knocked three watches. Ling Li closed the door and walked towards Yu Rui. Yu Rui just opened the door, saw Ling Li, sighed and said, You are still here.

Ling Li didn't say a word, just waited for Yu Rui to close the door, and followed him into the night.

Big brother, I want to ask you. He said suddenly. Have you ever fought with Zhuang Jie before?

No.

So what are your chances of winning at the moment?

Seventh.

What is the less than three points?

Zhuang Jie's martial arts are not weak. Yu Ruidao. It is said that he is a famous teacher and was once a leader among his peers. Later, he violated the rules of the door and was expelled, and he gloated with the same door, but no one spoke out to persuade him, let alone stand up for him. He lived in poverty on the streets, and when someone found out who he was, he gave him money and told him to kill, and he became a killer from then on. After the age of thirty-seven, he stopped washing his hands, and at that time he had already recruited a large number of subordinates like him who were willing to kill for money, and they were located in Huainan, which was called the Huainan Society.

He is a famous teacher—which one is it?

The Tianshan faction of the Western Regions. Yu Rui replied.

Tianshan Sect - So he also uses a sword? Ling Li asked.

Not bad. Yu Rui replied. The last person he killed as a killer was his junior brother Qin Ding, who was originally the candidate for the Tianshan faction to succeed him. Of course, this is because someone paid for Qin Ding's life, but also because Zhuang Jie really hated Qin Ding in his heart. It is said that before his death, Qin Ding finally admitted that Zhuang Jie's expulsion from the division many years ago was all due to his false accusations, that is, the position of head of the sect was usurped by him from Zhuang Jie. After Zhuang Jie avenged this revenge, he received a very high reward, and he also had a group of followers, so he no longer took matters into his own hands.

At that time...... What was the black bamboo like at that time?

The history of black bamboo is naturally much longer than it. Yu Ruidao. When Zhuang Jie was thirty-seven years old and established the Huainan Society, you were already here with me and killed someone for me. At that time, the fame of black bamboo was already very prosperous, but Huainan would suddenly emerge, and we were quite imposing across the Huai River, and the assassination of Qin Ding caused a sensation in the rivers and lakes, and Huainan would be prestigious. At that time, the land of Chenzhou was disturbed by the Jin people, and it was chaotic, and almost half of the business of the Black Bamboo Society was gone. Do you remember the gold medal killer of the Black Bamboo Club at that time, Qu An, he couldn't be angry about it, and later privately found Liu Jing, the number one killer of the Huainan Society, to duel.

I remember. Ling Li raised his head. It is said that Brother Qu was defeated, and no one has seen him since then.

Yu Rui nodded. Liu Jing returned to Huainan and did not mention the duel, but Qu An was missing. It's a pity, he's my best disciple!

Is he also a disciple of the eldest brother? But...... Speaking of which, I've never called you Master......

Yu Rui laughed and said, you call me eldest brother, you just respect me as the leader - you and I have only taught three moves and two styles, which is nothing, but Qu An and I taught it from beginning to end, and I didn't expect him to disappear. The position of gold medal killer has been empty for thirteen years. On that side, Liu Jing became famous, and the momentum of the Huainan Society gradually overpowered Heizhu, and the past thirteen years were our most difficult days. In fact, when you are not yet eighteen years old, there are a few people in the Black Bamboo Club who can barely rank in the gold medal position in terms of strength, but they are still "reluctantly" - but if any of them occupy this position, then you will have to squeeze them out when you reach the age of eighteen, which is inevitably unpleasant.

That is to say—and in astonishment—that is, you haven't picked anyone for that gold medal position for so many years, just for me?

Not bad. Yu Ruidao. That year, I was going to choose someone to replace Qu An's position, but it just so happened that you started to learn martial arts, and seeing you learn kung fu, I felt very similar to Qu An, just like him back then. I changed my mind for a moment, and I put aside the matter of arranging a new person. But because of Qu An, I always had an intuition that you would suddenly leave Heizhu one day, so I didn't dare to pass on any more kung fu to you. To be honest, if you die once, I may have the feeling of "letting go of a stone in my heart" or "having a wish", but I didn't expect you to come back alive every time, and never missed. If it weren't for you, there would be many too dangerous tasks, and I'm afraid no one would dare to take them, so I'm afraid that they would have disappeared from the rivers and lakes at this moment-and then everyone actually knew that the gold medal was you, but they were just waiting for you to be eighteen years old. But I still didn't expect that although I didn't teach you martial arts and didn't make you a second Qu An, you finally disappeared from me. Fortunately, you brought back a Fufeng, otherwise at this moment, it would be the second thirteenth year of Black Bamboo!

Are you afraid that the situation will reverse again, so you want to destroy the Huainan Society as soon as possible?

So to speak. Yu Ruidao. I couldn't have expected this before you offered to leave, and Fufeng's heart was on you, and if she suddenly left with you, what should I do?

She's not going to go. Said sharply. She said it to me.

Yu Rui sneered. If you have the opportunity, why not seize it. Our situation is indeed superior to theirs, and even Zuo Tianming died mysteriously - it is rumored that he fought with you, and you killed him?

No. Said sharply. He did come to trouble me, but he must have offended Ilfo later.

Yu Rui snorted. He came to look for you, probably because he wanted to emulate Qu An and Liu Jing's decision.

...... I didn't have a duel with him in the open, but I just plotted for him, and I was in danger. Speaking of which, how did the original number one killer Liu Jing disappear?

Liu Jing seems to be still in the Huainan Society. Yu Ruidao. However, it is rumored that he was accidentally exposed to some kind of chronic poison when he was on a mission a long time ago, and his physical condition has deteriorated sharply in recent years, and he is absolutely unable to kill, so Zuo Tianming is on the throne.

That being the case...... Huainan will still raise him?

Liu Jing can also be regarded as a figure who has won them a lot of face, what do you say?

That was not what I meant. I mean...... From this point of view, Zhuang Jie is not a despicable villain.

Yu Rui laughed and said, it is too early to make a conclusion.

If he really doesn't bring anyone today, I believe him.

Yu Rui smiled and said, Then I brought someone with me, didn't you fall into my disbelief?

Ling Li said embarrassedly, what can I do at this moment? Big brother, you pick the wilderness, I have nowhere to hide. Or I'll go farther away and not go all the way with you.

That's it. Yu Ruidao, since he has come, why hide.

He was a disciple of the Tianshan Sect and a leader of that generation. Said sharply. The eldest brother is still seventy percent sure, so where is the eldest brother's mentorship?

When he was in the Black Bamboo Society, he never dared to ask about Yu Rui's origin, and at this moment, he blurted out that it was a long-standing question.

I don't want Yu Rui to just say lightly, you don't have to know, let alone ask. Don't think that if you get out of the black bamboo, you can be unscrupulous!

I don't mean to. Ling Li said hurriedly. Just curious from a young age.

Yu Rui snorted and said, could it be that if you don't have a good teacher, you can't be seventy percent sure?

Neither is it. But......

In the middle of speaking, the two of them suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. In the darkness of the night, the silhouette of a white horse gradually emerged, and the man on the horse's back was dressed in dark clothes and bent down to concentrate on riding the horse. Fortunately, the road here has become wider, and the man rode like a gallop, brushed the two of them, and galloped away. The two looked back in unison, and when the sound of the horse's hooves was no longer audible, they turned back.

How do you feel? Yu Rui asked Ling Li.

It's a good horse. Ling Li said.

And what about people?

Sharp smiled. Mostly a good guy.

Yu Rui couldn't help but laugh and said, how can you see it?

Listening to his breathing, it seemed that he was already very tired. Said sharply. I think he must have been on the road for a whole day, and although this horse is new, the man can't be changed. So tired and not resting, he should be a person with perseverance, right?

Maybe he was running for his life?" Yu Rui said with a smile.

But there were no pursuers.

Maybe I'll die if I go back a little later. Yu Ruidao. Suppose he had a strict master.

Sharp smiled. It's also possible. But this man - not like a lowly person.

Wrong. Yu Ruidao. A person who can go in such a hurry must be a person who lives under others.

Yes. Ling Li thought about it for a moment. That's right, too. Haven't been in such a hurry since I left Heizhu.

He smiled again, then retracted it. Or maybe ...... It's desperately chasing someone. He thought. Go a little late and you could miss it forever, like ...... That tent that day.

His expression became depressed, and when he thought of Qiu Guanghan, he couldn't help but close his mouth and didn't say a word.

Two days ago, late at night, Matsue. Qiu Guanghan finally looked forward to Tuoba Gu's return from Miao Mansion, jumped up and ran towards him, but stopped when he got closer, looking at him.

Tuoba Gu had obviously worn an extra piece of clothing before, and now he had taken off the one that was covered outside and discarded it, but the sleeves and neckline were still inevitably stained with blood. He saw Qiu Guanghan's expression and knew what she was thinking, so he said, it's okay, you still don't sleep?

You...... You take them ...... Kill them all?, Qiu Guanghan asked cautiously.

Unfortunately. Tuoba lonely road. I'm not here.

Qiu Guanghan didn't know whether he felt sorry or relieved, and then tentatively said, then what are you going to do?

Tuoba looked at her. Last time, you said that there is a branch of Yiyu Hall in Lin'an, right?

Are you going to go to her?" Qiu Guanghan said without horror. But...... There are several branches of Yiyutang, who knows if she is in Lin'an!

And not just because of her. Tuoba lonely road. It just so happened that Lin'an had another thing to solve.

You mean...... The Xia family?

Tuoba Gu nodded. When Yi Yumiao heard that something had happened in the main hall, she would naturally rush back, and she could just catch her and wait here. But since I have made a move in the main hall, I can't let a few branches go and just kill them all.

But won't this lead to chaos?" Qiu Guanghan said. Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage by killing people like this?

What kind of public outrage is it? Isn't it just a banner for a bunch of famous and decent people to give their own deeds? Tuoba Gu said contemptuously. In the eyes of this group of people, Yi Fei Tang was not a good thing in the first place. Moreover, the ninjas were not from the Central Plains in the first place, and destroying them would not detract from the Central Plains martial arts, but would give them a long face.

As he said this, Su Zheyu twisted a towel and handed it to Tuoba Gu to wipe his face. Tuoba Gu took it and said, it's late, you go to bed early. Early tomorrow morning, we will leave for Lin'an. Feather come with me.

But—brother!—Qiu Guanghan called out to him. If you go to the Lin'an branch to kill people again, and then go to Xia's house to make trouble, aren't others likely to suspect you immediately?

It was meant to be known. Tuoba Gu sneered. If not, how can we see their faces?

Qiu Guanghan wanted to speak again, but Tuoba Gu gently put his arm on her shoulder. I'll talk about that tomorrow. Wait a while for me to finish talking to Oriyu, and ask her to come back to accompany you.

Do you want to hide anything from me secretly? Qiu Guanghan said unrelentingly.

Some miscellaneous things that have nothing to do with you.

You-you are not allowed to scold her again, Miss Su didn't do anything wrong today.

It's always okay to ask her to wash two clothes, right?

Are you still asking Miss Su to do this at such a late hour?Qiu Guanghan said. It's so cold now.

Didn't you do it in Qiao's house before?

Qiu Guanghan looked at Su Zheyu and said, "So...... Then I'm here to help.

Su Zhiyu hurriedly said, no need, Miss Qiu, I'll be alone for a while, and I'll come back to accompany you immediately.

As she spoke, she seemed to know that Tuoba Gu would immediately say that she was talking too much nonsense, so she lowered her head first and walked away. Qiu Guanghan wanted to pull her, but Tuoba Gu stopped her hand.

Whoever you are, you do what you do. Tuoba lonely road. In the past, others treated you as a person, and you just did those things, but now you are my sister, and you don't interfere in miscellaneous work.

Qiu Guanghan put down his hand and stood. Tuoba Gu also put down his hand and said, I went to sleep too.

He walked outside, and Su Zhiyu was standing in the corridor. He walked towards the room next to him, and Su Zhiyu also walked, following behind him, following in the same direction. When he reached the door of his room, he stopped, and so did her, a few feet away, and waited respectfully for him to speak.

Tuoba Gu didn't speak. He turned and walked to the wooden fence opposite. The river looms in the distance.

The darkness froze the picture. This stillness suddenly became a rare relaxation. Maybe he's just here to catch his breath. She also breathed a sigh of relief, for the rare day when he didn't speak to her. Still, she kept her head down, a few feet away to distinguish her from inferiority.

I don't know how long it took, Tuoba Gu suddenly turned around, as if he remembered that there was another person beside him. He handed her the towel in his hand, unbuttoned his coat again, took it off, threw it into her arms, turned back and pushed open the door of his room, and then closed it. This action immediately broke the frozen calm, so much so that Su Zhiyu almost didn't have time to react - only for a moment, the string that had been loosened by trance and oblivion was immediately tightened by Tuoba Gu. She wrenched herself from her thoughts and hung in the air. She was going to say something—but there was no room for speech. She had to hold the bloodstained dress and slowly turn around.
