Chapter 38: The Guest

Ou Pengqi said: "How do you say this?"

Wan Chengjiu said with a smile: "If Situ Ping wants to cultivate my Wanjian Peak's martial arts, he naturally has to stay in Wanjian Peak for a long time, this Wanjian Peak is still not a short distance away from Lu Town, so it is naturally inconvenient to deal with the affairs of the gang, and I, as a senior uncle, naturally have to do it for her, I have already sent the elite disciples in the gang to Lu Zhen to take over her Evil Tiger Gang." This kind of small gang, I also take care of Situ Ping's sake. ”

When Ou Peng heard this, he just smiled and said, "Brother Wan is really working hard for his disciples." ”

But he said in his heart: "This old treacherous and cunning thing, if you get cheap, you have to sell it." ”

Wan Chengjiu also said: "It's not to keep our secret, otherwise how can I be willing to take over such a bad thing?"

The crowd said, "That's really hard brother, come and do a bowl." ”

Next, everyone no longer talked about the secret land, but the rivers and lakes were bloody, the wind and snow, and they talked nonsense, until the wine and vegetables were exhausted, and then they broke up and went down the mountain, and went their own ways, and they did not mention the treasures obtained by each faction in the secret land and the improvement of their respective martial arts.

Far away in a hidden mountain village between Luzhen and Pingyang City, it is still the manor that occupies a large area, and in a hall directly to the north, there are two people sitting, one is a thin young man, and the other is a middle-aged man with gray hair, it is Situ Liang of the Evil Tiger Gang Situ Hall Master and Zhao Sange Zhao Hall Master. The two of them were frowning and drinking tea, Hall Master Zhao took a sip of tea, and didn't seem to taste the fragrance of tea inside, put the tea bowl on the table heavily, and asked Situ Liang: "Hall Master Situ, it's been almost a month since there is no news from this gang master, we don't see anyone dead or dead in this life, what should we do?"

Situ Liang said unhappily: "Hall Master Zhao, what did you say this? How can you say such an unlucky thing thing during the Chinese New Year?"

Hall Master Zhao immediately said embarrassedly: "I'm not too anxious, I'll take back what I just said." As he spoke, he spat on the ground to retract what he had just said.

Then he said, "I haven't seen the helper, everyone hasn't had a good year this year, and I don't know what the future holds?"

Situ Liang comforted: "Although the gang leader is not in the gang, aren't all the people of our Evil Tiger Gang still there? Everything is the same as before, and we haven't wiped out the gang?"

Hall Master Zhao smiled and said, "Hall Master Situ, you also said unlucky things." ”

Situ Liang was stunned for a moment, and then spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and said, "Take it back, take it back, this thing is really annoying, so I don't want to say anything." ”

Hall Master Zhao said: "It's okay, it's okay, aren't everyone worried about the comfort of the helper." ”

Situ Liang said again: "The helper used to go out and didn't return, but there will be news coming back, and the time to go out is only a few days at most, but now it's so long, it's really ......", Situ Liang didn't dare to say more.

Zhao Tang said: "Master Situ, the time when the helper is not there, it is the New Year, most of the people in the gang are at home for the New Year, and there is no business in the gang, seeing that this year is about to end, everyone will come back, and a lot of affairs will have to be dealt with. ”

Situ nodded and said, "Yes, we have to have an agenda first, and don't have big fluctuations." ”

While he was talking, someone came to report and said, "Hall Master, seven people from ten miles away are hurrying to us? ”

Situ Liang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Hall Master Zhao, and said, "Who will it be at this time? Our Jiaohaode gang has already been here a year ago, how can we know this place if we are not familiar with it?" Could it be that we are passing by?"

Hall Master Zhao said, "Maybe, but could it be that they came to trouble us?"

Situ Liang shook his head and said, "The number of people is not right, if you come to find trouble, how can only seven people be the opponent of our entire Evil Tiger Gang? Although most of the gang members are not in the gang, there are still dozens of people. ”

Hall Master Zhao was also surprised, and said, "Why did you come here?"

Situ Liang said: "Let's wait and see what happens, first keep an eye on them to see if they are coming at us, but we must also be prepared to meet the enemy." Someone comes, notify the brothers in the gang, get ready to welcome guests, and also, prepare signal fireworks, and if necessary, notify the brothers who are not in the gang to come back to the gang to support. ”

After another half of the tea time, someone stepped forward to report: "Report to the master of Situ Hall, those seven people are about to approach the entrance of the village, and there is no brigade of men and horses behind." ”

Situ Liang stood up and said to Hall Master Zhao: "Let's go, this road in our village is only in and out, it seems that it is coming for our evil tiger gang." ”

Hall Master Zhao also got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and greet the guests." ”

These seven people came really quickly, when Situ Liang and the others walked to the gate of the manor, the sound of their horses' hooves also came, looking at the past from a distance, the seven people were all dressed in black, and their faces were not clear, until they got closer, everyone saw clearly, these seven people were tall and short, fat and thin but different, and the current one was a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with a thin body like Situ Liang, but with a big sword on his back.

I saw them come to the door of the villa, turn over and dismount together, and their actions were very neat and consistent, and they looked like they had been trained for a long time. When he got off the horse, there were six people standing there holding the reins and not speaking, and the young man threw the reins in his hand to the person next to him, walked forward himself, and said to Situ Liang on the steps: "Excuse me, is it Situ Liang of the Evil Tiger Gang?"

Situ Liang also hurriedly saluted each other and said, "It's here, may I ask Your Excellency?"

The young man smiled and said, "In the lower ten thousand sword peaks, I am in the wind, and on the order of my sword master, I have come to deliver the news of your gang leader Situ Ping." ”

When Situ Liang heard this, he was shocked, this Wan Jian Peak is not something that the Evil Tiger Gang can afford to provoke, when did the gang leader have something to do with Wan Jian Feng?

He said with a smiling face: "May I ask Qu Shaoxia, what evidence do you have?"

Qu Xiangfeng didn't see any anger, took out a token from his arms and handed it to Situ Liang.

Situ Liang took over and saw that it was the pocket token of the gang leader Situ Ping, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Sure enough, it's a token of the gang leader, Qu Shaoxia, please come in and talk, please." ”

However, the token in his hand was not returned to Qu Xiangfeng,

Qu Xiangfeng didn't seem to care, and a group of seven people followed into the villa, and the horses were naturally handed over to the people of the Evil Tiger Gang to take care of, and they entered the inner hall.

In the hall, everyone sat down and served tea.

Qu Xiangfeng did not pick up the teacup, but took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Situ Liang, and said: "The Situ Gang Master has not returned for many days, presumably the gang is very worried, this is a letter from the Situ Gang Master to your gang, please read it." ”

Situ Liang took the letter with a smile, opened it and looked at the contents carefully, his calm face showed a slight surprise, after reading it, he handed the letter to Hall Master Zhao next to him, Hall Master Zhao was also very surprised, after reading it, he glanced at Situ Liang and nodded slightly.

Situ Liang turned his head to Qu Xiangfeng and said: "Qu Shaoxia, this token is right, the handwriting of the letter is also written by the gang leader, but the things in the letter are not something that we can reply immediately, please Shaoxia and the others take a break in our gang, let's discuss it, okay?"

Qu Xiangfeng said: "Of course, but please reply to us as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, he and the other six people stood up, and Situ Liang hurriedly asked his subordinates to arrange for Qu Xiangfeng and the others to go down to rest.

After Qu Xiangfeng and the others left, Situ Liang and Hall Master Zhao immediately asked their subordinates to release an emergency summoning signal from the Evil Tiger Gang, and gathered and sent the middle and high-level officials back to the villa to discuss the strategy of dealing with it.

When the signal was issued, the two hall masters breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao hall master was sitting in the hall, Situ Liang confessed, and went back to the room first.

Situ Liang walked briskly back to his hut, which was not too far from the hall, glanced back, and then pushed the door in. This small room is very tidy, there is a bookshelf against the wall, which is full of books, a desk is placed by the window, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are readily available, Situ Liang walked to the desk, sat on the chair, his eyes looked out of the window, the branches outside the window have been green, swaying in the spring breeze, full of vitality, Situ Liang's eyes swept the signal of this spring, cast to the white clouds flying in the sky, half ringing, shook his head, rubbed his temples with his fingers, took out Situ Ping's token from his arms, and carefully looked at it by the bright light outside the window.

Suddenly, he got up from the chair, placed the token on the table, walked quickly to the bookshelf and gently pulled out a few of the books, revealing a small box behind the bookshelf, Situ Liang carefully took the box to the desk, opened the lid with one hand, revealing a small porcelain bottle inside, and then he skillfully picked up a brush, opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, dipped some liquid from it with the brush, picked up the token with one hand, and carefully brushed it with a brush in one place of the token, and sure enough, in the small place of the token, three words were gradually revealed, and it was"Peace and forbearance".

When Situ Liang packed up all the things on the table, the words on the token were gone. He put the token back in his arms and sat down in his chair, frowning in thought.

After a meal, it was already getting dark, and Situ Liang was still sitting like that, not moving at all. At this time, someone knocked lightly on the door outside, and Situ Liang answered: "Come in." ”

Someone gently pushed open the door and came in to report: "Hall Master Situ, Elder Chu, Hall Master Xing and Hall Master Zhang have returned, and now they are talking to Hall Master Zhao, Hall Master Zhao asked the villain to inform Hall Master." ”

Situ Liang whispered, "Haode, I know, I'll be there later." ”

Situ Liang waited for a while, and seemed to have made up his mind, so he stood up calmly, packed up his clothes, Shi Shiran, and walked out of the room.

The room was not very far from the hall, but Situ Liang was not walking fast, and the path in the twilight was no different from usual, but Situ Liang knew that today's Evil Tiger Gang was different from the Evil Tiger Gang in the past.
