Chapter 20: The Evil of the Maiden
Chapter 20: The Maid is Evil
The origin of Ning Wanqian is very mysterious, and few people in the gang know about it, and even if they do, no one mentions it, as if she appeared out of thin air.
Wei Jianfeng will never forget the scene when he first saw Ning Wanqian appear a few years ago.
A green-clothed girl came into the sky and blocked the tens of thousands of troops of the imperial court with the power of one person. Then, he easily defeated the two monks sent by the Demon Sect...... What a majesty that is!
You must know that the major forces in the world compete with each other for the strength of the monks behind them, and the importance of a powerful monk to the gang is self-evident.
......
Calming down, Wei Jianfeng waved away Manager Mu, and then said, "Miss Ning, you came here in person this time, do you have any explanation?"
"Not bad. β
Ning Wanqian nodded and said, "Since the Heaven and Earth Alliance unified the rivers and lakes, the forces such as the Nine Sects, the Five Sects and the Three Great Families have not been able to endure it, and we have finally passed a relatively stable period of development. However, this time the war at the border was rekindled, and the forces in various places began to stir up again, and the head of the meeting was worried that there would be people secretly making trouble in the garrisons of all sides, so he ordered the local governors to be cautious, especially in the coastal areas. I'm here for a while to help you. β
Wei Jianfeng's expression was solemn, and he muttered: "Now that the major forces are holding each other back, they want to fight on a large scale...... Unlikely, right?"
"No! Quite possibly. β
Ning Wanqian said: "You may not know that just a few days ago, a major event happened on the rivers and lakes...... If it hadn't happened, I wouldn't have been here myself. β
"What's the big deal?" Wei Jianfeng was stunned, a big deal that could be seen by the monk was not a simple matter.
"Actually, I and the leader of the meeting have just received the news about this matter, and I believe that it will not be long before the whole world will know about it. β
Seeing Ning Wanqian so solemn, Wei Jianfeng was even more curious, and the teacup in his hand couldn't help but put it down, only to hear the former say eight words lightly: "The Holy Domain has announced, the election has been canceled!"
"Election cancelled?!"
Wei Jianfeng's heart jumped, and he faintly felt that something big was about to happen: "Miss Ning, the Sacred Domain General Election is held every five years, how can such a big event be canceled if it is canceled?
Ning Wanqian waved her hand and said, "This news came from Deacon Ye personally, and there are many eyeliner to corroborate it, and there will never be a fake." β
Wei Jianfeng said in a deep voice: "The Sacred Domain election was presided over by Deacon Ye, and the news from them must not be false, but ...... But this news is really hard to accept. β
The Sacred Domain General Election is not only a grand event, but also related to the status of the Heaven and Earth Alliance in the rivers and lakes, but the relationship between it is very complicated, and if it is not handled well, the Heaven and Earth Alliance will lose a powerful foreign aid.
"Miss Ning......"
Before Wei Jianfeng could speak, Ning Wanqian interrupted: "This matter is not as bad as you imagined, maybe, this will be an important opportunity for our Heaven and Earth Alliance." β
"Then what are the plans of the master?" Wei Jianfeng's expression perked, it seemed that the upper authorities had already prepared.
"The lord of the meeting has an order: take the two Guangzhous and rectify the coastal land. β
Ning Wanqian closed her eyes gently, as if she had seen a bloody storm coming.
......
ββββββββββββ
"Look, this is where our Tianxiong Gang is stationed. β
Liu Tianfu pointed to a majestic mansion in front of him and said triumphantly: "How is it, is it okay?"
"Wow! β
Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly: "Uncle Liu, we will live in this beautiful big house in the future, right?"
"Uhhh......h
Liu Tianfu blushed and said: "This is the location of the gang, and the foreign affairs personnel generally don't live inside, I just took you to the gang to report first, and then you and I will live in the compound of the foreign affairs hall." β
"Oh, I see. β
Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the two children, Liu Tianfu then said: "Don't be discouraged, as long as you study hard with Uncle Liu, you will be able to live here one day, hahaha-"
"Really?"
"Of course, I'm a good man, how can I tell you the truth. β
β......β
Regarding Liu Tianfu's assurance, the two children showed deep doubts and secretly thought: "If you follow Uncle Liu, I'm afraid you won't want to live in it for the rest of your life." β
......
Walking into the Tianxiong Gang, Xiao Wu and Niuniu realized that the house could be built so widely, it was even bigger than the village they lived in.
Under the leadership of Liu Tianfu, the two elementary schools were amazed all the way! colorful flower beds, strange-shaped mountains and stones, ancient numbers with thick rhizomes, and splendid buildings...... It's dazzling to look at.
The bearded man didn't have much curiosity, just followed the three of them silently, obviously the things around him couldn't arouse his interest.
"Stop!"
A scolding came, and Liu Tianfu and the four of them looked sideways, only to see two young and beautiful women walking slowly towards them.
The woman at the head was dressed in a strong suit, with black green silk tied behind her head, and the whole person looked heroic. Behind her, a woman dressed as a maid followed with a scimitar in her hand. The person who came was Wei Ruying, the daughter of Wei Jianfeng, the leader of the Tianxiong Gang, and her personal maid Xiaojiao.
Seeing these two daughters, Liu Tianfu stepped forward quickly, and said with a respectful face: "Liu Tianfu, the incense master of the Foreign Affairs Hall, has seen the eldest lady and the little girl. β
"Oh, it's you, a brute cow!"
Xiao Jiao glanced at the other party disdainfully, and said coldly: "Liu Tianfu, don't you know the rules of our gang?
A little maid also came to point fingers, how could Liu Tianfu not be angry in his heart, but the other party was deeply loved by Miss Wei, but it was not good to attack. So he held back his anger and said, "Little girl, I know the rules of the gang." But as the head of my Foreign Affairs Hall, there's nothing wrong with introducing a few people to join the club, right?"
"Hmph, a little incense master, I really think I'm a character. β
"You ......"
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Wei Ruying suddenly spoke: "Master Liu Xiang, did you pick these dirt buns from here? β
Liu Tianfu's forehead jumped with green tendons, and he said stubbornly: "Back to the eldest lady, these three people are fishermen from their hometowns, honest and hard-working, so their subordinates brought them and wanted to introduce them to the association, which can be regarded as a way out for the future." β
"Fishermen?" Wei Ruying pinched her nose and frowned, "No wonder there is a fishy smell on my body......"
Liu Tianfu was very embarrassed and difficult to refute.
"Miss, they are such rough people, why do you bother to ......" The maid Xiaojiao sneered at the bearded man and the others: "Our Tianxiong Gang is not a place where anyone can enter, what are you guys capable of?"
Xiao Wu said proudly: "I can fish and hunt." β
Niuniu also straightened her small chest: "I can play nets and cook." β
The bearded man thought for a while and said honestly: "I have a lot of strength." β
Hearing the three of them answer, the maid Xiaojiao was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Fishing, hunting, netting and cooking, this is also called ability? β
Then she pointed to the bearded man and said, "And you, this guy, are so thin that you are embarrassed to say that you have great strength! Can you lift a mountain, or can you hold a brick?"
"Poof!"
The maid's sharp teeth and sharp mouth made Wei Ruying laugh for a while: "You guys are quite interesting......
The bearded man said indifferently: "I don't think it's very interesting, it's a skill to be able to eat well." β
"You are so bold that you dare to contradict our eldest lady!"
Xiaojiao scolded angrily, Wei Ruying waved her hand to stop it, looked at the bearded man deeply and said, "You are not too bold, Miss Ben remembers you...... Xiaojiao, let's go back first, don't let my father and your guests wait for a long time!"
"Hmph, offend my young lady, there are several ...... you who are comfortable"
Xiao Jiao was not angry, and left after dropping a cruel word, seeing that Xiao Wu and Niuniu were inexplicable.
......
When he came back to his senses, Liu Tianfu smiled bitterly: "Alas, I said bearded, can't you be round in your speech and action? Look, you offended that aunt and grandmother on the first day." β
"I'm telling the truth. β
The bearded expression was still the same, and Xiao Wu and Niu Niu nodded in support in unison.
"You ...... Forget it, let's be careful in the future, you guys go quickly. β
Liu Tianfu's smile was even more bitter, and he faintly regretted bringing out these three "ignorant" people.
......

Chapter 21
"Punch a line, the legs are like a bow, the weight is steady and not gravity, and it comes and goes as fast as the wind...... It's all for Lao Tzu to practice!"
"Punch a line, and the leg is like a bowβ"
"Stability is not gravity, it comes and goes as fast as the wind-"
......
On the martial arts field, the fist wind is whistling, and the momentum is like a rainbow!
As far as the eye can see, nearly a thousand men are practicing one move at a time, neat and powerful, as if they have been tempered by a thousand hammers.
These gangs were dressed in uniform uniforms, their strong muscles were exposed, and they were full of gods, their eyes were shining, and their bodies were full of explosive power.
On the high platform, a middle-aged man stood with his fists clenched, his cloak was dignified and fragrant, showing his mighty and extraordinary momentum. He is the master of the Yanwutang, the super-first-class master in the late stage of the gathering ...... "Iron Claw" Lin Hu.
The lion and tiger lead, people are like one, with such a quality of help, it is not a fluke that the Tianxiong Gang can dominate one side.
......
"Miss Ning, these people are the elite disciples of our Tianxiong Gang, and everyone can stand alone when they take it out. β
"Okay! That's right, your Wei Gang Master is really a capable person. β
Ning Wanqian nodded with satisfaction, and Manager Mu, who was accompanying her, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The Tianxiong Gang has today's achievements, and it is also supported by the Heaven and Earth Alliance. We should repay this kindness with diligence. β
"Manager Mu is polite...... Ning Wanqian waved her hand lightly and said: "The Tianxiong Gang is also the brother of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, so naturally they are in the same breath, sharing prosperity and disgrace, and don't mention it again in the future." β
"What Miss Ning said is that we must keep it in mind. β
Mu Fangtong can be the head of a group, and he is naturally a delicate and round person. He doesn't say anything, but only keeps kindness in his heart, and this is what he said.
Ning Wanqian smiled rarely, took out a book from her sleeve and said, "Chief Mu, this is a set of small battle formations that the guild master asked me to transfer to your Tianxiong Gang, with the help of this thing, your combat power will definitely be able to go to the next level." β
"Small, small battle formation!?"
Mu Fangtong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other with surprise on his face. To be precise, it was to look directly at the book in the other person's hand.
The fame of the battle array originated from the Yasukuni Army's "Twelve Heavenly Gate Breaking Array", and it was precisely because of the existence of such a battle array that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tatar clan stopped at the border pass. Therefore, the real battle array is regarded as an artifact of killing by the major forces.
It's a pity that a complete set of battle formations is too scarce, and even in the Yasukuni Army, there are only one set of large battle formations and two sets of medium-sized battle formations. And it is already good to have two or three medium-sized battle formations in the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and as for the other forces, there are even fewer of them, not to mention medium-sized battle formations, I am afraid that even small battle formations are difficult to handle.
"Manager Mu, this battle formation will be put there for you first, and from tomorrow, you can let these gangs practice with reference to the battle formation...... I hope you will live up to the Lord's hopes for the Tianxiong Gang. β
Ning Wanqian handed over the book, and Mu Fangtong solemnly took it, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in her eyes: "The subordinates took the Tianxiong Gang up and down to thank the master, thank Miss Ning!"
Large and medium-sized battle formations are only suitable for large-scale wars, but small battle formations are just suitable for gang battles of about 1,000 people.
With a slight bow, Ning Wanqian looked at it for a while, and then turned to leave.
......
Not far away, dozens of half-grown teenagers were raising their eyes, and the noise was endless.
"Wow! what a beautiful sister ......"
"yes, yes, like a fairy. β
"When I grow up in the future, I will also take a wife like a fairy. Hey, hey!"
"Hmph, you want to get a fairy even if you look ugly, it's good to have a wife like a pig. β
"Stinky boy, what did you say?
"Ahh β
......
"Smack-"
There was a heavy shudder, and everyone suddenly fell silent. Hearing the prestige, I saw a "huge" figure appear in front of me.
"What kind of quarrel do you little cubs quarrel with, give Lao Tzu a good practice, who dares to be disobedient again, don't blame you Uncle He Tian's whip for not being long-sighted!
He Tian's figure was unusually burly, and the young man standing in front of him had an inexplicable sense of oppression. When he showed a sensen smile, everyone around him was terrified, and hurriedly raised his fists and feet, how dare he make any more noise.
At the end of the team, Xiao Wu and Niu Niu's expressions were quite loose, and they seemed to be very dismissive of the punishment in the strong man's mouth.
"Brother, isn't that woman the same person we bumped into in front of the restaurant last time, why is she here? Didn't Uncle Liu say that outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave this martial arts hall?"
The little girl was just curious, Xiao Wu said in a low voice while punching: "Didn't you listen to the evil manager, they are distinguished guests in the gang, what's so strange about appearing here." Don't worry about that, let's keep practicing. β
"Practice, this is also called martial arts ......."
Niuniu pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "If it weren't for Uncle Liu's arrangement, I wouldn't want to come...... Brother, look, those big men move slowly like turtles, and if they give it back, can this hit people? I don't want to practice like them, it's ugly to death!"
Dare to love this little girl is disgusted with other people's martial arts ugly, Xiao Wu helplessly persuaded and said: "Uncle said that any martial arts are practiced little by little, and the foundation is the most important. β
Niu Niu retorted: "It's different, what Uncle taught us is much more useful, and those people can't compare at all." β
"That's right, the uncle is indeed very powerful...... Xiao Wu smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that without the uncle's permission, we can't use the martial arts he taught, otherwise the uncle will be unhappy." β
"Uncle is for our good. β
"It's good if you know, come on, practice, anyway, you don't have to press your body. β
"Well, I know Ra. β
......
"Hey, those two little guys in the back, what are the mouths moving, are you looking for a pump?
"And the boys in the middle, haven't you eaten, do you want to be soft bones, and now give Lao Tzu back to his hometown. β
"Whatever the other little cubs look at, they all fucking hit it hard!"
......
The strong man shook his whip viciously, and Xiao Wu and Niuniu were immediately silenced.
Although this strong man was full of words, he didn't really do it, otherwise the whip would fall, where would these little guys bear it.
On the other side, Mu Fangtong hurriedly turned back after sending Ning Wanqian away, holding the "Battle Array" in his hand and hesitating, as if he was thinking about something. After a few moments, his eyes froze, and his eyes flashed fiercely, and finally he walked towards the back hall.
Mu Fangtong walked away, but he didn't know that Lin Hu on the martial arts arena had already seen his expression in his eyes.
......

Chapter 22: Abnormal Atmosphere
The backyard of the Foreign Affairs Hall is as quiet as ever......
Next to the high-accumulation pyre, the bearded man sat cross-legged, silently looking up at the hazy sky, with inexplicable thoughts hidden in his eyes. He didn't know what he was missing, but he was sure that he had a kind of concern in his heart that he couldn't let go, was it the white shadow, or the inseparable family affection?
The sound of staggered footsteps was heard, and a team of escorts patrolled by.
"Boss, you see that stupid guy doesn't work, sitting there in a daze. β
One of the guards opened his mouth to accuse, and the leader waved his hand and said, "Leave him alone, anyway, as long as he finishes cutting all the firewood, there is no need to look for trouble." β
"But ......"
"Okay, okay, just a stupid man, can you afford to deal with him? What's more, this person was brought by Lord Liu Xiang personally, do you really want to give him something?"
Hearing the boss's words, another guard said angrily: "Hmph! Isn't it just a matter of relying on some connections, eating and drinking in our Tianxiong Gang, it's really cheap for this guy." β
"That doesn't have to be ......"
The boss retorted: "That stupid man's strength is not small, and it only takes half an hour to cut ten water tanks of three hundred deniers of firewood every day, and it will definitely not be possible for you and me to do it." β
"Isn't it just a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs, what's the big deal. β
"It's, something!"
Although the boss told the truth, the guards were still unconvinced. Back in the beginning, they had to work hard to get into the gang, and those who were related to them could enter here with a hello, and they were able to eat and drink well. In other words, it is inevitable that the heart will be a little unhappy.
"Damn, you're still cheering up Lao Tzu, aren't you?
The boss gave the guards around him a violent shudder, and then led the crowd to continue to move forward.
......
There was no shying away from the conversation of several people, and the bearded man naturally listened to all of them, but he didn't react much, and still sat still in place. After all, it's hard for someone like him to care about other people's eyes.
Counting the days, five days have passed.
Compared with Tianjing Village, the outside world is less tranquil and tranquil, and more restrained and fulfilling.
Xiao Wu and Niu Niu were arranged to go to Yanwutang to learn martial arts, while the bearded man refused Liu Tianfu's arrangement and chose to hide in the backyard to chop wood and carry water and do some simple chores. Gradually, the three of them began to get used to this kind of life.
"Ten years...... It's been 10 years......"
The bearded man muttered to himself, and countless emotions were born in his heart. I am like a forgotten person, there are still many doubts to find answers, I can't stay here forever, and when the two children really settle down, I have to leave. Although Liu Tianfu's martial arts are very poor, he is quite cautious in doing things, and he takes care of his two children, which saves him a lot of worries.
People come and go, and they eventually disperse, and they feel the feeling of parting again and again......
If you want to talk about ten years of getting along, the bearded man has long regarded Xiao Wu and Niuniu as his own children, and he doesn't want them to be hurt in the slightest, but the cruelty of reality has to let him let go. Children will grow up one day, and they have their own ideals, their own lives. Just as the road ahead may have rain and waves, and people have only hands and no wings...... If you want to be successful, you have to put in your own efforts!
......
"Beardedβ"
A shout interrupted the bearded man's thoughts. Hearing the prestige, it was Liu Tianfu who hurriedly walked over: "I said bearded brother, you will find leisure, but pity me, the master of the hall has only been back for a few days, and he will be busy running around......"
"What's wrong?"
The bearded face was indifferent, which made Liu Tianfu feel a lot more at ease. I only heard the latter smile bitterly: "What else can I do, I offended the eldest lady and was put in small shoes." Hehe, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, those eight lambs joined forces to step on Lao Tzu, it's really fucking shameless......"
Liu Tianfu was full of indignation, but he was helpless: "Bearded, tomorrow I will go on a long trip, two or three days at the fastest, and five or six days at the slowest, so I came to explain to you before leaving." In the past few days, you should take care of the two dolls more, don't let them be bullied by those bitches. β
Turning his mind, the bearded man nodded solemnly. He didn't speak, didn't ask where the other party was going, only faintly smelled a strange smell.
Looking around, Liu Tianfu suddenly lowered his head and whispered: "Something is not quite right in the gang recently, there may be some big movements, this is not a good sign, don't run around if you are fine, just endure if you encounter trouble, remember to discuss everything when I come back." β
Hearing what the other party said, the bearded man's brows were dark, and he couldn't help but worry about the two children, Xiao Wu and Niu Niu.
After an explanation, Liu Tianfu stopped staying and hurriedly left here.
......
As the sun sets, the day draws to a close.
In the backyard of the Foreign Affairs Hall, Xiao Wu and Niu Niu appeared in front of the bearded man.
"Uncle Beard, my sister and I have been practicing martial arts for a day, why don't you take us out for a walk!"
"yes, yes, Niuniu has been here for a few days, and she still doesn't know what it's like outside. β
"Uncle, why don't we go to Tianxi Restaurant first, the food there is so delicious that I drool when I think about it. β
"Well, after eating, Niuniu is going to put out the lanterns. β
"Then we'll go boating again. β
"Yes, yes, yes, you have to look at the fireworks. β
......
The two children were very pestering, and one of them made the bearded man almost unable to parry, and finally had to respond.
When leaving, the second child did not forget to ask Uncle Beard to bring some more silver taels.
......
ββββββββββββ
The Celestial Hung Gang Station.
Wei Jianfeng walked back and forth in the hall, his eyebrows heavy on his face.
Ning Wanqian sat at the head of the guest seat, but she looked calm.
"Don't be impatient, the results will come out soon. β
Ning Wanqian spoke slowly, and Wei Jianfeng paused and sighed: "Manager Mu has been following Wei for six years, if it weren't for what the head of the meeting said himself, Wei really couldn't believe that he would betray the Tianxiong Gang." β
"People die for money, and there has been a training since ancient times. It is not surprising that Mu Fangtong betrayed the gang for the greater good. Ning Wanqian said in a condensed voice: "I'm worried about how many hidden nails there are in the Heaven and Earth Alliance!"
Wei Jianfeng said hatefully: "In the past few years, the Heaven and Earth Alliance has expanded too quickly, and the masters recruited are also uneven, and there must be a lot of spies among them. β
Ning Wanqian shook her head and said: "The major forces are acting in secret, how can our lord not know, but unfortunately this matter is widely implicated, if it is not handled well, it will inevitably make everyone feel cold." β
Wei Jianfeng was silent when he heard this.
......
"Acting Wutang Lin Hu, meet the gang leader. β
A tall body walked into the hall and half-knelt on the ground, Wei Jianfeng saw the person coming, and his heart tightened: "Hall Master Lin, get up and talk back, can you find out the matter?"
"Yes. β
Lin Hu stood up and said: "Back to the gang leader, as Miss Ning expected, Manager Mu did secretly copy the "Battle Array", and now the evidence is conclusive, so he can't help but want to deny it." Helper, are we going to arrest him right away? β
"People are in the rivers and lakes, wealth and power, and they can't help themselves!"
Taking a deep breath, Wei Jianfeng calmed down and said, "Don't be in a hurry to do it first, the person who is in the same connection with Mu Fang has not yet appeared, so arresting him rashly like this will only startle the snake......"
"I understand, the helper wants to put a long line to catch big fish...... Lin Hu was stunned, but he was still a little uneasy: "But if the battle array is accidentally passed out, then we ......"
"Don't worry. β
Wei Jianfeng interrupted: "Miss Ning is wise, she has already done tricks and tricks in that battle formation, even if she is taken by the enemy, it is still a waste of paper. In addition, in this internal purge, all suspicious people can't be spared, you let the people below keep an eye on it. If what I expected is correct, after Chief Mu gets the battle formation, it is likely that he will connect with the other party tonight, and the other people will definitely have movements, you go down and prepare quickly......"
"Subordinate orders. β
"Remember, don't let the word go. β
"Yes!"
......
ββββββββββββ
