Chapter 18: Infighting
(1st Update)
"Eh, Ancestor, please calm your anger! You and I have been friends for so many years, don't you still know who I am? Although I have some slight means, how can I ever treat the real 'friends' who need to be taken seriously?"
In the face of the terrifying ferocity displayed by the Blood Knife Ancestor, Ling Huisi's face was not moved at all, but he explained sincerely.
"Actually, this time, I only received the news yesterday, and I didn't know it earlier than you, Ancestor, not to mention, this time the silver shipment can't tolerate the slightest difference, I'm too late to think about it to be foolproof, how can I deliberately trap at this juncture and provoke a terrible enemy like Ancestor?"
"Really?"
Seeing that the other party had such an attitude, the Blood Knife Ancestor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You mean that you don't plan to be responsible for the losses suffered by this sect this time?"
"Of course not. "Knowing where the bottom line of the Blood Knife Ancestor's psychology is, Ling Huisi will naturally not be stupid enough to push the responsibility clean.
"Lingtu Baoxiang and several other virtuous brothers have always been good friends with me, and this tragic accident is indeed a mistake that I don't know about the enemy. But it's going to happen, after all, it's not what I want. Thinking that the Shiliang Chess Immortal Sect is just a bandit, although it has some combat power, it can't be on the stage after all. It may be possible to use these guys to deal with the waste wood that has no hard goods under the hands of the Fengyun Dart Bureau, and can only rely on the blessing of the dragon's name, but against the Blood Knife Gate under the Ancestor's seat, it should be a steady and lifeless situation, if it weren't for the fact that it really happened, I still don't believe that they would be able to fight with the Ancestor's subordinates. ”
"Oh, do you mean to say that you haven't seen any traces of the spider?" "The Blood Knife Ancestor sneered, "Ancestor, I've known you for twenty years, and even your Longsha Gang was built by Ancestor and I single-handedly helped you build it, do I know less about your details?"
"Since five years ago, you have secretly befriended the five elders of the Wen family of the Zhejiang Shiliang Qixian Sect, in addition to seeing that they are ruthless enough, didn't you hear that they plotted against the Golden Snake Langjun Xia Xueyi and wanted to get the Golden Snake cheats from them?"
The Blood Knife Ancestor said coldly, looking at Ling Huisi, whose face had finally changed, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe, Ancestor, I also know that since you became the leader of the Longsha Gang, you have always wanted to get rid of the influence of Ancestor and me, and you are very concerned about the martial arts cheats of various sects and factions in private, and this attempt to seize the Golden Snake cheats is also an unsuccessful attempt by you. However, this kind of thing is also human nature, Ancestor, I don't think it's strange, but Lord Ling, you have been a Hanlin, and you are clever and clever, if you want to say that you haven't found out the details of the Chess Immortal Sect for five or six years, do you say Ancestor, will I believe your?"
The Blood Knife Ancestor sneered, and his eyes were gradually filled with killing intent.
"The surname Ling, if you know each other, you will spit out 200,000 taels of official silver that you have robbed this time and hand it over to the ancestor! In this case, for the sake of many years of intersection, the ancestor can still spare your life! However, if you toast and don't eat and drink, then the ancestor will never care about losing a 'collaborator'. When the time comes, under the 'Blood Sea Demon Knife', you are destined not to see the sun tomorrow!"
The more the Blood Knife Ancestor spoke, the higher his voice became, and in the end, the whole body bearded robe was windless, and he was obviously extremely angry.
Zhao Fan, who was lying on the roof, looked at this scene of the villain's own internal strife and tearing, and couldn't help but secretly clap his hands in his heart, and at the same time, through the conversation between the two, he roughly understood what happened.
It turned out that this case of robbing the official bank was indeed a conspiracy planned by Ling Huisi.
In order to find the treasures of Liancheng, this literati who used to be a Hanlin man has colluded with the blood knife ancestor of the Hailuogou Blood Knife Gate since 20 years ago to establish the foundation of the Longsha Gang in the area of the two lakes, and at the same time operate through the guò officialdom, and shun Lì to assume the position of the prefect of Jingzhou.
This time, in order to rob the dart silver, Ling Huisi on the one hand drove his partner Blood Knife Ancestor to assassinate Zhang and Li, two generals, and paralyzed the escort forces of Jingzhou Mansion, and on the other hand, colluded with the five elders of the Wen family of the Shiliang Qixian faction in Zhejiang to set up an ambush in the Ezhou area to besiege and kill the convoy of the Fengyun Dart Bureau, and robbed 300,000 taels of dart silver.
Since the location of the crime is neither near Jingzhou nor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even if the Fengyun Dart Bureau has the intention to investigate thoroughly, I am afraid it will be difficult to find out that this matter is a collaboration between martial arts gangsters in Jingxiang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
However, in order to be on the safe side and ensure that there is no more handle left in the world, Ling Huisi specially asked the Blood Knife Ancestor to take his disciples to destroy the Shiliang Chess Immortal Sect after the five veterans of the Wen family sent the dart silver to the designated place, so as to achieve the goal of killing people and destroying the mouth.
For a master like the Blood Knife Ancestor, with a large number of disciples, it should have no difficulty in killing the enemies of the five elders of the Wen family. However, after it was gone, things were unexpected.
The combat effectiveness of the five elders of the Wen family is indeed not far from what was expected, even compared to the five disciples of the Blood Sword Sect. However, the Five Elements Array is easy to break, and it is difficult to prevent the poison of life. Although with the power of the surprise attack, the people of the Blood Knife Sect successfully killed two of the five elders of the Wen family in the first time, but what is unexpected is that the Wen Family Fort, which is silent in the rivers and lakes, is actually a side branch of the Wen family, a well-known ** large "time-honored brand" in the rivers and lakes!
When the remaining three of the five elders of the Wen family began to fight back, the people of the Blood Knife Gate found that what they had to face was no longer a halberd, a steel rod, or a cowhide whip, but a strange and unbelievable poisonous fog, poisonous smoke, poisonous water, and even an invisible and qualitative poisonous true qi!
This time, like cutting wheat, a large number of people died, and immediately became the master of the Blood Knife Sect, only in the blink of an eye before the Blood Knife Ancestor could react, the five disciples of the Blood Knife Sect had died tragically on the spot under the attack of more than ten kinds of fierce poisons, and the death was terrifying, almost not human.
Not only that, the three generations of disciples in the second front also suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and when the Blood Knife Ancestor completely emptied the poisonous power in the air with his strong palm power, everyone in the Wen family had already withdrawn from the secret passage under the leadership of Wen Fangda, the eldest of the five elders of the Wen family, and Wen Fangshan, the third elder, and it was difficult to catch up in a moment.
What made them even more troubled was that the old five Wen Fangwu, who had voluntarily broken off, suddenly poisoned himself, and in a short period of time, he turned himself into a terrible "poisonous person" with a body as hard as steel, a crazy fighting spirit, and a multiple-fold increase in skill. Under the spread of the poisonous power that permeated his whole body, even the remaining second-generation disciples of the Blood Knife Sect were about to be unable to hold on, so they could only rely on the Blood Knife Ancestor to rise to the might, and use the "Blood Sea Demon Knife" "Meteor Passing through the Sky" style to kill him in the air, and in the end, he still missed the last chance to kill the Wen family by sending the Shogi Immortal to kill them all!
Such a result was obviously intolerable to the Blood Knife Ancestor.
The death of the disciple, the loss of the strength of the subordinates is secondary-after all, the Blood Knife Sect is essentially a line of the Tubo Black Sect, and in its bones it is a cruel sect that implements bloody elimination, and the loss of the disciples is not taken to heart by the Blood Knife Ancestor, as for the strength of this thing, as long as the Blood Knife Ancestor himself does not die, he will never have to worry.
What really made the Blood Knife Ancestor care was that his own losses had not been compensated! This time, Ling Huisi had a careful plan and robbed a total of 300,000 taels of official silver, but under his design, he had long since lost a penny of silver to the five elders of the Wen family, so he did not even hand over a penny of silver to the Blood Knife Ancestor. In the subsequent battle of Wenjiabao, more than half of the Blood Knife Gate was killed and wounded, and the vitality was greatly damaged, but when the Wen family fled, they had brought as much luxury and softness as possible, and did not leave any floating wealth, and the results of less than a thousand taels of silver were naturally far from satisfying the appetite of the Blood Knife Ancestor.
Therefore, at this moment, the Blood Knife Ancestor came in a rage, ostensibly to ask the master for guilt, but the actual purpose was to bite Ling Weisi hard, making him spit out most of what he had gained, so that this vicious guy could understand who was in the dominant position in the "cooperation" between the two!
However, Zhao Fan, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that the idea of the Blood Knife Ancestor might not be able to succeed. Because of the fearless Ling Huisi, it is impossible to accept such an excessive request!
Sure enough, in the face of the threat of the Blood Knife Ancestor, Ling Huisi's gaze froze, and then slowly, but resolutely, shook his head heavily.
"Ancestor, this is impossible!" Ling Huisi said slowly, "This 300,000 taels of silver is no longer in my hands at this moment. Even if I'm willing to give it away, I can't afford to pay half a tael of silver at the moment, so I can't agree to this request!"
"Oh, is it?" the Blood Knife Ancestor looked at Ling Huisi coldly and asked, "Then where is this dart silver now?"
"Hey, hey. Hearing the Blood Knife Ancestor's answer, Ling Huisi's face finally showed a smug smile for the first time, and the confidence and cunning in that smile made the Blood Knife Ancestor feel extremely bad, and he couldn't help but have a little ominous premonition for a while.
"Those darts have been sent to Kanto now!" Ling Huisi said with a smile on his face.
"Actually, I haven't told my ancestor that just a few years ago, when Ling was traveling with his family, he unfortunately met Ximen Muye, the leader of the Kanto Martial Arts League, and was planted with a strong poison by him with the 'Hundred Poisons True Scripture', if you can't take the antidote on time, within three days, you will have all the bones of your body shattered and exploded and died. ”
Ling Huisi said, with no hint of "misfortune" in the smile on his face.
"Since five years ago, since my Qing Dynasty Longxing, there have always been some martial arts people who still can't recognize the form, and they have been loyal to the Wanyan clan of the previous dynasty for a long time, and they are unwilling to return to the Aixin Jueluo family. This time the new emperor ascended the throne, and Emperor Kangxi specially ordered to convene the Kwantung Martial Arts Conference in order to sweep away these remnants of shame, and prepared to re-elect the leader of the alliance. The leader of the Ximen League was loyal to the king, so he naturally wanted to do his best to repay the service, so he ordered his subordinates to raise money and goods. Originally, if you could find the treasure of Liancheng, such a small amount of money would not be nothing. It's a pity that the leader of the Ximen Alliance was in a hurry, and as a last resort, I made this decision to rob the official silver. ”
When Ling Huisi said this, he chuckled lightly.
"What's the matter, Ancestor, do you still have any questions? If you want to ask the leader of the Ximen Alliance to get back the silver taels, I, Ling, can fund some Cheng Yi!"
