Chapter II: Disputes
The outer court, the council hall.
The council hall is a place for high-level deliberations and decisions within the clan. On the door beam, several strong big characters "Discussion Hall" are written as dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, flying and ethereal, which faintly implies a bit of Sensen sword intent. There are ten jujube red chairs on both sides of the hall, which are round and smooth, and have a bit of antique taste. On the stairs, it is a seat, with a picture of the snow scene in the background. The hall is full of paintings, and the snow scenes of the rivers and mountains are dotted among them, implying a bit of artistic conception that overlooks the mountains.
In the hall, several big men sat upright, and the atmosphere was a little dull. Look at these men, all of them have a glimpse of the essence in their eyes, their foreheads and temples are bulging high, their bodies are either tall and mighty, or short and concise, and their faces are unruly, showing that they are strong in martial arts.
"Big brother, the Northwest Emergency News said that the Golden Knife Gang has been making frequent disturbances in our yard recently, and several brothers have been killed or injured. He had the courage of the ambitious leopard to eat the golden knife gang, and dared to provoke us Chenjiazhuang, big brother, you see, did he send someone over to cut them off. The burly man, whose face was as black as charcoal and was about nine feet tall, stood up and said loudly. The sound was like hitting the bell, and when it came to the ruthlessness, a pair of leopard eyes were round, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring, as if the murderous aura in the substance suddenly caused the air temperature in the hall to plummet. The black face roared, King Kong looked sideways, and he had a bit of Zhang Fei's anger to kill the Cao family.
"Xuanhu, don't be reckless. Sit down!" Third Elder Chen Xuanfei scolded softly.
"Third brother! The tiger is not powerful, he is a sick cat for me. Our Chenjiazhuang is not easy to mess with, I can't swallow this breath, and a small Golden Knife Gang dares to pee on our heads. Big brother, let's see what to do. After the burly man finished speaking, he sat down in a sullen voice, looked at the man in the center of the hall, and said nothing.
The ten elders of Chenjiazhuang gathered to discuss the matter. The ten elders are:
The great elder Chen Xinghong, known as "Ten Steps Town Tiannan" in the rivers and lakes, is in charge of Chenjiazhuang, and his friends in the rivers and lakes give him a nickname called "Nanjian";
The second elder Chen Luoyun, who is fifty years old, has been famous for decades, went out to practice when he was young, and followed a monk Yiluotuo to learn a set of "Sealing Demon Fist". With the family inheritance of Qingshuang swordsmanship and sealing demon boxing, he traveled south and north, and broke through the rivers and lakes, and won the title of "fist and sword" at the age of thirty-five;
The third elder, Chen Xuanfei, is one of the few outstanding geniuses in the clan, and he has been in the rivers and lakes for 20 years. At the age of fourteen, he won the championship in one fell swoop, and then followed his uncle Chen Luo to run the rivers and lakes, fighting for righteousness and pride, and at the age of sixteen, he was one of the top ten thieves in northern Jiangsu.
The fourth elder Xie Kun, who is over fifty years old, is a relative of the Luo character generation, and has a family heirloom of "Five Elements to Open the Tablet Palm", a unique one in the rivers and lakes, with infinite strength, abnormal fierceness, and the fusion of the five elements, the moves are weird and extremely difficult. When he was young, he was chased and killed by the enemy, but was rescued by the elders of Chenjiazhuang at that time, and later joined the Chen family, and made great contributions to Chenjiazhuang for decades, and finally became an elder;
The fifth elder, Chen Luoqiang, is not outstanding in martial arts and has a developed mind. The Chenjiazhuang clan is known as "Zhiduoxing", and is good at making suggestions and arranging troops;
The sixth elder Chen Xuanhu, Chen Xuanfei's younger brother, is only thirty years old. Gifted, very high-minded, when he was young, he was valued by the masters of the Western Regions and accepted as a high apprentice. After ten years away from home, he practiced with his teacher. A pair of "fiery palms" practiced, when the palms were released, they were close to five feet away, and the air waves were scorching. After wandering the rivers and lakes, the underworld was terrified, and he was nicknamed "Fire Ancestor";
The seventh elder Wang Zhenbei, a heroic man in the northwest, fifty miles away, has a fierce appearance. It was a return pistol. The gun is more than a zhang long, and the cold iron gun head is very sharp. There are many good horses in the northwest, guns and horses, and they are invincible. With these 36 return pistols, no one on the northwest road fell to its edge. It is rumored that when Wang Zhenbei traveled through the rivers and lakes, he met the contemporary lady of Chenjiazhuang, and was shocked, and swore to saddle the horse and horse for the Yiren from then on;
Eighth Elder Chen Xuanfeng, the grandson of the owner. If you can't practice martial arts, you will turn to manage the industry within the clan and be promoted to supervisor;
The Nine Elders thundered, a disciple of the Wudang faction, with a Wudang sword in one hand, and he was superb. is silent, doesn't like to talk much, but is decisive in killing, bright and fair, and is also a man;
Ten Elder Wen Hexiang, a member of the Wen clan in Zhejiang. The two clans married and entered the Chen family. With Wen's poisonous crown Jiangnan, he has also made a lot of contributions.
An old man at the head of the hall, over sixty years old, standing in a strong outfit, with white hair, is the owner of Chenjiazhuang Chen Xinghong, one of the few old people in charge of the Xingzi generation, according to the generation, he is the grandfather of the Xuanzi generation, but after being promoted to the elder, regardless of age, he is commensurate with brothers. The owner of the village wandered for a few steps, pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is a little strange, just a small Golden Knife Gang, dare to be so rampant, even if he borrows his courage on weekdays, his Golden Knife Gang does not dare to act like this, but since it has done so, it must have something to rely on." There is no backer, just a clown jumping off the beam, and he can't jump for a few days. The key is to find out the people behind it. Everyone discussed what to do. ”
"What the owner of the village said is that over the years, our Chenjiazhuang has become more and more popular in the rivers and lakes, and some people are greedy, and there are not a few people who secretly plan to deal with us. In the past, he stabbed the knife secretly, but now he is becoming more and more arrogant, and he directly provokes on the surface. It seems that the other party can't wait. "Fifth Elder" Zhi Duoxing" Chen Luoqiang Yin Yin said.
Chen Xuanhu had a short temper, "I think I'll go directly to destroy the Golden Knife Gang, and make an example of it." I see who dares to touch a single hair of my Chenjiazhuang. ”
"Sixth brother, don't shout and kill all day long, I think it's better to investigate first and then wait for the opportunity to act. After expressing his opinion, seeing that several other elders nodded in agreement, Chen Xuanfei got up and clenched his fists and said to the owner: "Master, I think I will go to the northwest in person to investigate this matter." ”
"It's okay, I'll rest assured that you're going, then you can bring the good hands of the clan over tomorrow. If you encounter a strong enemy, do not force the enemy, and come back quickly to report the news. This is the end of this discussion, everyone is also dispersed, go back and make some preparations, if there is a suitable candidate, you might as well send it to the three elders to experience it. Chen Xinghong nodded in agreement and commanded.
The next day, Chen Xuanfei chose to bring a few good players and rushed to the northwest.
