Chapter Eighty-Seven: Reinforcements Arrive
(2nd Update)
Although he fell into extreme shock in an instant, after so many years of wandering the rivers and lakes, Zhao Fan has long been accustomed to seeing the famous characters in the book, and even killed some famous masters with his own hands, and in the blink of an eye, he has regained his composure.
However, calmness is calmness, and the appearance that should be there should still be. At least, in the face of the dignified iron-handed gang leader, a moderate sycophant must not be missing.
"It turned out to be the 'Iron Palm Water Floating' Qiu seniors in front of him, it was really disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Zhao Fan said with a fist on his face full of admiration.
"As far as I heard, the seniors have been disappearing in recent years, and even the traditional territory of the Guigang in the Jingxiang area has gradually been ceded to the Shangguan gang leader of the Dongting Nujiao Gang, and many people think that the seniors are no longer in the world. I didn't expect that today, the predecessors actually came to Liaodong, not only that, but the martial arts of the whole body have not diminished at all, and it is just around the corner to recover the lost territory of Jingxiang!"
"Hmph! What does the kid know, just talk nonsense here!"
Listening to Zhao Fan's flattering flattery, Qiu Qianren snorted heavily, but there was not much anger on his face.
Shangguan Fei, the leader of the Nujiao Gang, was originally the cousin of the old man's mentor Shangguan Lao Gang Leader (that is, Shangguan Jiannan, the former gang leader of the Iron Palm Gang), and the reason why the Nujiao Gang was able to rise in Jingnan was only because the old man was willing to sell his face. As for martial arts, how have you ever seen what the old man was like, and how did you evaluate the old man's entry?"
Qiu Qianren smiled proudly, as if showing off, and said to Zhao Fan: "I'm not afraid to sue you, before the family teacher fell into the grass, he was the personal guard of the young marshal's army, and later after the gang, he helped the great master of Lingzhong to sort out the manuscript of the young marshal, and left a lot of pen and ink of the young marshal for some reason. A few years ago, the old man was defeated in the hands of Hong Qigong on the second Huashan sword, and after returning to the gang, when sorting out the relics of the teacher, he was lucky enough to find the 'nine-character mantra handprint' left by the Venerable Ziling, so he practiced all day long, and recently achieved great achievements, so he was able to get out of the customs. â
"I see!" Zhao Fan nodded vigorously as if his eyes had been opened.
Although he knew that Qiu Qianren's words were by no means untargeted, but deliberately showing off his strength and intending to put pressure on him, Zhao Fan still did not waver, pretending not to understand it at all.
"If you want to come to Qiu's predecessors, you will definitely go to the next level. What is the 'fast and slow nine-character formula' of Mr. Lei of the six-and-a-half-hall hall, in front of the 'nine-character mantra handprint' of the Venerable Ziling, it should be vulnerable, and when the time comes, the iron palm gang of the old man Qiu will be able to take the six-and-a-half-hall and replace it!"
"Hey, you're funny!" Qiu Qianren smiled coldly, "Although this is indeed a good idea, the old man is quite willing to 'shouldn't treasure the knife' for a while, to see who is strong and who is weak, but boy, do you think the old man is so easy to fool? If I listen to you a few sycophants, I will let you go gently, won't the old man live to a dog in the past few decades?"
Qiu Qianren narrowed his eyes, stared at Zhao Fan, and spat out a voice full of chill from his mouth.
"Boy, I think you are also a talent, not only are you good at martial arts, but you are also not small, you dare to pretend to be a ghost under the nose of the old ghost of Ximen, which makes the old man admire. I want the old man to come back to the rivers and lakes today, and if he wants to do a big career, he needs a young man like you. I ask you, would you like to follow the old man?"
Qiu Qianren said as if he was stepping on the steps of the zĂ i, slowly descending step by step, until the last word was finished, the whole person had come to Zhao Fan, hovering in the void that was a little off the ground, and issued an invitation to Zhao Fan that could not be refused.
The other party is strong, and he has mastered his own handle, so there is no way to avoid such a solicitation. Once refused, whether the other party is oppressed by force or chooses to expose his identity, Zhao Fan can be forced into a desperate situation, as long as he has a little wisdom, he should know what is the right choice at this time.
However, in the face of such an undeniable solicitation, Zhao Fan's eyes suddenly sharpened after a moment of silence.
"The seniors are kind, and the juniors understand it! But for the recruitment of the seniors, please forgive the juniors for not obeying their fate!"
Although it was a courteous and polite answer, it was also a categorical refusal.
Hearing such an answer, Qiu Qianren's resolute face like a knife and axe inevitably showed a trace of astonishment, and then a strong anger that could not be suppressed followed.
"I don't know how to lift!"
With a low snort, the black-clothed old man's right palm suddenly flipped over. Between the flying sleeves of the robe, the strong and true strength is impressively condensed at the bottom of the palm, and the iron palm that has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades has been ready to go in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the catastrophe was coming, Zhao Fan, whose life was in danger, was still fearless. At the moment when Qiu Qianren raised his palm angrily, Zhao Fan smiled slightly, and said softly but quickly:
It's just that in the eyes of the juniors, there is a better choice for the seniors!"
"Oh?"
Suddenly hearing what Zhao Fan said, Qiu Qianren's eyes froze, and the true power under his palm suddenly dissipated, and the next moment, the black robe that was originally flying in the air fell back to its original position unconsciously.
"Boy, who do you think the old man should choose?"
"No, what the juniors said is not to let the seniors find another subordinate, but just to propose another way to achieve things. â
Zhao Fan smiled, showing an expression like a salesman, and enthusiastically introduced to Qiu Qianren.
"Senior, you see, at present, on the rivers and lakes, martial arts masters want to 'make a big deal', which is nothing more than two ways. One is to set up gangs in the rivers and lakes like the Blue Dragon Society and the Power Gang, grabbing the wealth in the grass to strengthen themselves, which is for the 'black/Tao', and the other way is to devote themselves to the imperial courts of various countries, leap to a high position by force, and from then on, shock the world, which is the 'white way'. In my opinion, the old Qiu seniors should be preparing to make a comeback and re-set off the black/Taoist situation, and at the same time, they were invited by the Wanyan family to come and find some trouble for the Manchu court, in exchange for the high-ranking officials Houlu after the restoration of Dajin, can the juniors guess correctly?"
"Hmm...... But there is a little bit of insight. â
Qiu Qianren bowed slightly, although he didn't say it explicitly, it was equivalent to acquiescing to Zhao Fan's speculation.
"In that case, please forgive the juniors for their humble opinions. In the eyes of the younger generation, the rivers and lakes have changed in the past ten years, and the pattern of black/dao has been basically finalized, and it may not be realistic to rely on the rise of black/dao...... Whether they can restore the country is still undecided, even if they can really restore the country, what they can give to their predecessors at this moment is just an empty silver ticket, which cannot be cashed in time, and they will not take it for their predecessors!"
"Oh? This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so tell me, how should the old man do it?"
Qiu Qianren asked coldly.
"That's easy to say. Zhao Fan raised a finger and said, "It's very simple, it's still the road of 'white road', but it's not to take refuge in the Wanyan family, but to join the Great Song Kingdom!"
"It's not a secret, I am the second disciple of the 'Zizaimen', the 'Tianyi Layman', and the third uncle of the sect, the Taifu Zhuge Shenhou of the Great Song Kingdom, has a lot of dealings, and it should not be difficult to earn a position as a general in the Song Kingdom for his predecessors. â
"Hey, listen to you, are you going to recruit the old man in turn?"
After listening to Zhao Fan's persuasion, Qiu Qianren did not break out at the first time, but just seemed to laugh instead of laughing, and raised an eyebrow as if he was angry.
"Sounds like a good idea, but--you say you have a relationship with the Divine Prince's Mansion, but who can prove it?"
"Well...... If it was 'just now', no one would be able to prove it, but 'now'......" Zhao Fan said, shrugging his shoulders slightly.
As if echoing his lines, in the night sky behind Qiu Qianren, a voice of vicissitudes suddenly came.
"Gang Leader Qiu, it's up to Cui to prove it, what do you think?"
Before the words fell, Qiu Qianren had already turned around.
At a glance, I saw that in the night sky that was empty just now, a middle-aged man full of vicissitudes appeared, stepping on the north wind of early winter, drinking the spirits in the wine jug, while riding the wind on the night sky.
With just one glance, Qiu Qianren could see that the middle-aged man in front of him was by no means relying on extraordinary internal strength to stay in the void, but just using an unpredictable leg method to stir the wind while hovering in mid-air with the wind power.
Even so, this otherworldly light skill attainment is enough to shock the world, and even in terms of light skill alone, it is much better than "floating on the water with an iron palm".
Although the rivers and lakes are big today, there are absolutely not many people with such light skills, and if the surname is Cui, then there is only one!
Even if he has lived in seclusion for many years and reappeared in the rivers and lakes, Qiu Qianren has also heard of this guy's name, even with the respect of the great grandmaster, his face can't help but become solemn.
Because he came to the National Song Dynasty Criminal Department, he was one of the three of the "Four Famous Arrests" under the command of Zhuge Shenhou Mansion.
