Chapter 149: Trade-offs

Subconsciously touching his face, Fang Zhongtian seemed to fall into a deep memory, and only after a while did he speak: "My identity is known to the left envoy of the Ming Sect, and it is he who funded me to establish the Dajiang Gang. In order to have a big thing that is difficult to solve one day, there can be a powerful help. I haven't used it all these years, and it's clear that your appearance is the most important thing for Mingjiao over the years. ”

"I have one more question. Yun asked puzzledly, "Why did the old guy ask me to look for you in Jiangbei, and who would kill him?"

"At that time, when my eldest brother and I broke through separately, we agreed to meet in a small town in Jiangbei, he should understand my character and will not give up easily, if I am still alive, I will definitely stay in Jiangbei, so I will let you come to find me. Until now, there was a rudder of ours in that town, constantly searching for news. As for who killed him, there are too many possibilities. Your identity is too sensitive, the imperial court, the Ming Sect, and even my second and third brothers don't want to see you appear. ”

"Where are the two guards you spoke of now, and why hasn't the Ming Sect thoroughly investigated them?"

Hehe, Fang Zhongtian smiled bitterly: "They are now famous, one is Dongfang Aotian, the head of the Dongfang family, and the other is Lei Zhen, the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Gang. The forces they have formed over the years are no weaker than the Ming Sect, and the Ming Sect has always been targeted by the imperial court, and it is already in danger, how dare they erect a strong enemy!"

"What!" Yun couldn't believe his ears. These two people are now the top-level figures in the rivers and lakes, and the Sky Wolf Gang has intersected with them many times, and almost killed themselves several times, so it turns out that there is such a relationship.

Just as he was still trying to digest the shocking news, there was a knock on the door. Fang Zhongtian waved his hand to signal that Yun Yun didn't need to be nervous: "It should be Xiao Tong." ”

Sure enough, when he opened the door, Xiao Tong rushed in with blood.

At this time, Fang Zhongtian showed the momentum of his superior, did not panic at all, helped Xiao Tong sit down first, took out the medicine bag he was carrying, helped him stop the bleeding, and took out a pill for him to take. Seeing that his face softened a little, he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter, who hurt you?"

Xiao Tong still had an indifferent expression, and casually took off his bloody clothes and threw them in the corner. While bandaging his wounds, he said to the clouds: "When I arrived at the inn, your three friends had already left, and according to the guests, they were surrounded and killed by several men in black at that time, and at the critical moment, a young man helped them and covered them to escape. So I pursued them in the direction they pointed out, until I got out of the south gate, and I caught up with them more than ten miles outside the city. At that time, five or six killers of the Shadow Poison Gate were besieging them, but there were two boys who were very good at fighting, one with a crossbow and the other with a sword. So I took action to deal with those killers, but I didn't expect the team of the Shadow Poison Gate to track them down here. At least three of those people were royal, and I held them back for a quarter of an hour to cover your friends into the woods, so I guess they should have no problem escaping. ”

Although Xiao Tong said indifferently, looking at his injuries, Yun Yun knew that it must be a tragic bloody battle. The emperor-level killers of the Shadow Poison Gate are all at the top ten levels, and they have rich experience in actual combat. Xiao Tong was able to hold out for so long with the strength of one person, just by looking at the dozen or so shocking scars on his body, he knew how thrilling the battle was at that time.

So he gave a deep salute: "On behalf of my brothers, I thank my predecessors for saving their lives, and if they are sent in the future, they will not give up!"

Xiao Tong smiled slightly, waved his hand casually and went down to rest. Before leaving, the other party Zhongtian explained: "It seems that the Shadow Poison Gate will not stop if it does not achieve its goal, and it is very likely that this is not our place and will be discovered." Big brother should plan ahead, either leave as soon as possible, or ask for support. ”

Seeing that Yun was still frowning, Fang Zhongtian comforted: "Don't worry, I'm very secretive here, and there will be no problem in a short time." And when I received the news yesterday and arrived here, I had already sent a message to the left envoy, and I believe that the vanguard of the Ming Sect will arrive soon. As for your friends, they should have their own natural appearance, so don't worry too much. ”

The cloud is still worried, but there is nothing it can do. The enemy is strong and I am weak, even a master like Xiao Tong is no match for Far Run, let alone him. just secretly comforted himself that Feng Cheng's anti-tracking ability was extremely strong, and he would definitely be able to lead everyone to escape. At the same time, I wondered where that young master came from, and why did he take such a big risk to help them?

For the next day and night, Yun and Fang Zhongtian did not rest, and Fang Zhongtian introduced to him in detail the origin, development path, organizational structure and current situation of Mingjiao.

Through his preaching, I learned that Mingjiao has always been respected by the sect leader, and there are left and right protectors under him, who are in charge of the affairs of the sect. Directly under the four halls of Fenghu Yunlong, Fengtang is responsible for training newcomers, Hutang is responsible for waging war with hostile forces, Yuntang is responsible for assassination and collecting information to spy on intelligence, and Longtang is responsible for the security of the sect and dealing with the members who violate the canons.

These four halls are all elites and are the main combat force of the Ming Sect, and thousands of ordinary disciples of the Ming Sect have been included in the Twelve Banners. Each flag has its own characteristics and housekeeping skills, like the old man surnamed Wei Chi that Yun met at the mouth of the Yangtze River at that time was the former flag owner of the Agni Flag, and the thunder bomb of the Agni Banner was powerful and easy to carry......

It's just that the position of the head of the Ming Sect has been vacant for many years, the right envoy unfortunately fell while fighting against the Mongol army, and the left envoy is too old to interfere in the affairs of the sect for a long time. And because the Ming Dynasty ordered Jinyiwei to sweep out the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the masters of the Ming Sect have withered, the number of disciples has decreased sharply, and the Ming Sect has been forced to remain dormant and dare not recruit new disciples and believers. Now several halls and flags have actually existed in name only, and only two halls and three flags can barely remain intact.

The two hall masters of Tiger Hall and Dragon Hall have the highest status. Tiger Hall Master Ye Jian has a violent personality and is domineering, and he has long peeped into the position of the sect leader, but it is only that Lu Yao, the hall master of the Dragon Hall, has been obstructing it, so he has not been able to do so. The other Three Banner Masters also have their own thoughts, and many people have secret dealings with other forces, and it is not excluded that there is the eyeliner of the imperial court among them.

Like this time, the Shadow Poison Gate interception cloud was fully prepared, with unprecedented strength and resolute attitude, and even acted before Mingjiao. Someone must have deliberately done it not to want the presence of clouds to threaten his position or disrupt his plans.

After listening to these clouds, his head is big, in fact, he has no concept of the young master of the Ming Sect, and he has been so persistent in exploring his life experience all these years just to find out the truth and avenge the old guy. But looking at Fang Zhongtian's attitude, it was obvious that the Mingjiao bigwigs had long intended to help him take the position, but he didn't want to take over this mess in his heart.

First, he has no relationship with Mingjiao, and naturally he has no sense of belonging. The second is that once he inherits the position of the sect leader, he will definitely become the target of the public, not to mention the threats from all sides, just because he has been in the spotlight of thousands of people, and since then there have been too many restrictions, he is not happy to advocate freedom and freewheeling. The third is that Mingjiao is now working independently, and all the bigwigs have ambitions. He had no foundation, and he didn't believe that his bloodline alone could suppress these ambitious people, and he didn't want to be deceived by some people as puppets.

So he said categorically: "Uncle Fang, I don't want to be involved with Mingjiao, now my life is very good and fulfilling, I just want to be myself." ”

Fang Zhongtian was stunned, in his opinion, a young man like Yun Yun must be excited and happy to have the opportunity to unify the Ming Sect. You must know that although Mingjiao has been hit hard, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and as the once supreme overlord of the rivers and lakes, it is still a top force in terms of human and financial resources. Moreover, Yun is orthodox, and if he inherits the position of the sect leader, he will have the opportunity to regain the country that should belong to him. But he didn't expect that in the face of such a huge temptation, he behaved so calmly and even a little repulsive.

So he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what the Lord of the Ming Sect represents?"

"I know, it's supreme and power! But if I want it, I'll fight for it. ”

"And what about your parents' blood feud?"

"The revenge of killing my father and mother! I will personally report it, and I don't want to borrow someone else's hand. Of course, if it is convenient for you, Uncle Fang, please help me verify, I think the old guy entrusted me to you back then, and he has absolute trust in you. ”

"Then now that you have shown your face, how can you survive the current crisis without the help of the power of the Ming Sect?"

"The reason why there is a lot of crisis now is because they think that it is possible for me to take over the Mingjiao, and if I have nothing to do with the Mingjiao, I think naturally no one cares about me as a nobody. ”

"This ......" looked at the cloud with a resolute attitude, and Fang Zhongtian had no words for a while. After a while, he said slowly: "Everything will be decided when the left envoy arrives." ”

Suddenly, Fang Zhongtian's ears moved, and his face was solemn: "There are people coming, there are a lot of them, and they are all masters." Things don't look good!"
