If it was only a "trouble" for the Qing court, the strength of the "Red Flower Society" was enough, even strong enough to be called a "trouble for the heart".

With the local power of the Qing court, there was no way to take them, but they could only watch them continue to eat away and hurt the ruling foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and gradually pull out their strongholds at the grassroots level, so that the Manchu court was anxious day by day. But if it is put into the game at the national level, it is too weak with such a true face.

The reason for this is that the competition between great powers and the change of dynasty have always been a game that only the peak grandmasters are qualified to participate in, and on top of that, there will be super masters and peerless strongmen competing from time to time, even if they are martial arts powerhouses at the grandmaster level, they are not able to shake the general trend at all.

In this case, the idea that an underground organization like the "Red Flower Society" wants to leverage the foundation of a country with its own strength, although this idea is full of heroism and is admirable, it is really tantamount to a pipe dream, and it is quite a child's play no matter how you think about it.

Even if we don't talk about the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty, just in the matter of the Kwantung Conference, it is already an impossible task to get them to help deal with Ximen Makino.

Even if the leaders of the Red Flower Guild have the combat power of Wen Tailai's level, just at the level of their appearance, at most three or four times that of Zhao Fan's duo, in the battle of the great grandmaster, they will not be able to intervene at all, and they may be affected by the aftermath, and they may be divided on the spot.

Therefore, compared to this brand-new force that had just appeared and did not show much strength, Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan were still more optimistic about the potential allies under the command of the Wan Yan family.

Although compared to the "Red Flower Society", the Wanyan family's forces are not my race after all, but in any case, Ouyang Feng and Wanyan Changzhi, who may have zài behind them, can obviously bring a greater threat to the enemy, since this is the case, it is not surprising that Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan are more willing to cooperate with them.

"But having said that......" After discussing for a while, Li Shengnan groaned and asked his own question, "We are not familiar with life at the moment, and it is not easy to find those masters on the surface, what can we do to find the remnants of the Wanyan family lurking in the dark?"

"You don't have much to worry about this. Zhao Fan comforted with a relaxed face, "I expected this situation long before I left, and I sent out the news early in the morning." Calculate the time, I'm afraid that reinforcements will come soon, you and I just need to stay in peace. ”

............

Such a calm statement naturally infected Li Shengnan. Out of trust in Zhao Fan, the girl didn't ask more, just quietly arranged her own affairs, ready to wait for the arrival of "strong reinforcements".

To their surprise, however, a letter came sooner before reinforcements arrived.

The letter was sent by an unexpected person.

Early in the morning of the second day, just after midnight, several pipes of the green battalion of the Qing army came to the door with them, first, they wanted to visit the two masters of the Qingcheng faction and get in touch with the two new celebrities in front of the two Ximen alliance masters; second, they were ordered by the governor Yamen to inquire about Zhao Fan's attack on them yesterday, hoping to dig out more first-hand information about the "Red Flower Society" from their mouths.

Obviously, these guys all know that there is no possibility of achieving the second goal - after all, Zhao Fan and they were only attacked suddenly, and they don't know much about the enemy, even if there is any news, it is estimated that they have already informed the two adults, Chu and Zhang, and there is no merit for these pawns to make meritorious contributions. Therefore, these guys just focused on flattering Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan, and they only mentioned the attack yesterday lightly.

If it's just like this, Zhao Fan will treat them as insignificant pawns at most, anyway, they will never see each other after ten days, and there is no need to keep them in his heart no matter what he says.

But to Zhao Fan's surprise, among these green camp pipe bands, someone secretly handed over a letter before leaving.

The content of the letter seems to be extremely ordinary, nothing more than a certain big man in the city, hoping to get acquainted with the two Taoist leaders of the Qingcheng faction, etc., and there are many good words about sycophants.

But in Zhao Fan's eyes, this letter is far from being as ordinary as it seems on the surface.

"What's wrong? What's so strange about this letter?"

After the outsiders dispersed, Li Shengnan, who had been disguised as a vase, finally had a chance to speak out. Seeing that Zhao Fan had been looking at the letterhead in his hand over and over again, he couldn't help but ask such a question.

"Of course. Zhao Fan turned his head to look at the girl, revealing a slightly ostentatious words, and gently dusted off the letter paper in his hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this letter should be Senior Lu of the Wudang Sect. ”

"Oh?"

Li Shengnan tilted his head suspiciously, stretched out his hand and pulled the letter paper in Zhao Fan's hand, but he didn't see anything strange in the handwriting, turned his head to look at the words, and used the wrong lines, palindromes, hiding heads and other solutions, and he couldn't see the mystery at all. In this case, the only possibility is ......

"There's a special code for the Wudang Sect here?"

"That's right. ”

Zhao Fan nodded, affirming the girl's guess.

In this letter, there is indeed a special code that only the Wudang faction can understand. This code word is written in Taoist terms, mixed with the other party's praise of the superb Taoist method of "Lian Emei", and uses the heavenly and earthly branches to indicate the interpretation of the specific secret letter, which is a unique code method of the Wudang faction, and the spies of other sects do not want to interpret the information in it.

Although he has put himself in the position of a suitor, Zhao Fan still strictly abides by the basic morality of the rivers and lakes, and will never inform Li Shengnan of the secret code of the Wudang faction to Li Shengnan, who may have a conflict with the Wudang faction in the future. However, the solution of the code cannot be explained, and the contents of it are not kept secret.

"To put it simply, this letter is an agreement to invite us to visit the Heavenly Master outside the city for a while. Zhao Fan took back the letter paper from Li Shengnan's hand and explained briefly.

"I see. Li Shengnan nodded, and then asked the next question, "So in your opinion, this appointment, should we go or not?"

"Of course I have to go!" Zhao Fan said affirmatively, and then changed his words, "However, it was me who went to the meeting alone and used other costumes to go to the meeting, while Miss Li stayed in the hall in order to deal with the unexpected needs." ”

"Why?" Li Shengnan frowned and asked, "Isn't it too risky for you to go to the meeting so alone?"

"There are definitely risks, but if you want to contact them, you have to take such risks. ”

Zhao Fan patiently explained.

In fact, the first time he received the letter, Zhao Fan's heart also remembered terms such as "Hongmen Banquet" for the first time. There is really no way to do this, looking at China for 5,000 years, there are not too many examples of such incidents in banquets and meetings, and once there is any invitation, no one can help but want to go to that aspect.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Fan felt that this date might not be as dangerous as he imagined.

Just from the fact that they chose Lu Feiqing to pass on the message instead of other methods, it can be seen that at least at this stage, the "Red Flower Society" should adopt a more moderate attitude towards the two Qingcheng faction masters of unknown origin.

In this case, going to one or two should have little impact on the situation. What's more, with his own mechanism and AOE moves, even if he encounters the situation of "the heroes of Liangshan are here", the possibility of getting out safely is much greater, even if he encounters any misfortune, as long as Li Shengnan wears things back to Zizimen or Wudang Mountain, at least the matter of revenge is absolutely not worried.

In addition to this, there is another very important factor -

"For some reason, I always feel that in the previous battle, the 'Red Flower Society' should be far from showing their true strength, or rather, there must be some masters standing behind them, otherwise they would never be so arrogant......"

Zhao Fan said so, in exchange for a nod of approval from Li Shengnan.

"I feel the same way. ”

The girl pondered for a moment, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Since you have thought so thoroughly, then please go on a journey and find out the details of the 'Red Flower Society'!"
