A knife in love

Chapter 152

Only the sound of footsteps could be heard, and leaders of various factions filed in.Chu Danyang, the head of the Kunlun School, bowed and saluted: "We have discussed with our brothers and sisters, and all parties have no objection to the elder Ge's proposal."

Liu Kang stood up and said with a smile: "This is the best, I will thank all the heroes in advance."

After he finished speaking, he even bowed deeply to the heads of the various factions.

Chu Danyang and the others hurriedly avoided the side, and said in their mouths: "How dare we accept the gift from the boss?!"

Liu Kangdao: "Heroes are doing their best for the country. I am very grateful. Now that everyone is united, I have put my heart into my stomach. The matter is urgent now. Please make preparations, everyone in charge. Let's set off immediately. Go straight to Yongan City."

The heads of the sect agreed, and they left the hall immediately, ordering the members of the sect to prepare to set off.

Seeing that Liu Yong and Li Qiufeng were still standing there, Liu Kang smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what your two plans are?"

Liu Yong glanced at Li Qiufeng, cupped his hands and said, "Since all the heroes of the Jianghu are willing to help the old man, there are not many in the Duohuashan school, and there are not many in the Shaohuashan school. Liu does not want to participate in this matter, so he bids farewell to the old man."

Liu Kang nodded and said: "Twisted melons are not sweet, people have their own ambitions, and I can't force it. It's just that Mr. Liu needs to know one thing. There is not only Huashan sect on Huashan. Such a big thing happened in the Central Plains , the head of the expensive sect Qiu could not go in person, and only Mr. Liu came among the four masters of Huashan, just to prevent the Taihua sect from taking advantage of the vacancy. Occupying the Chaoyang Peak of Huashan, for more than a hundred years, the Huashan faction and the Taihua faction have been fighting endlessly. The two factions are called the Huashan orthodox. Went to Huguang'an Luzhou to participate in the battle of Xingxian King's Tomb, and the entire army was annihilated. This gave the Huashan faction a chance to dominate. It is precisely because of this lesson that the head of Qiu was sitting at Luoyan Peak in Huashan this time, and did not dare to leave Huashan Half a step. Mr. Liu, the old man is right."

Liu Yong remained silent, and after a while he said: "The elder Ge said it was right. It's just that Yuan Yiming was originally an outcast from the Huashan faction, and created the Taihua faction to oppose our faction. For more than a hundred years, he has used despicable means to subvert the Huashan faction's orthodoxy. How much did it cost? My Huashan faction is just sticking to my duty, and I don’t want to ruin the foundation of our faction for hundreds of years.”

Liu Kang said with a smile: "Yuan Yiming was so powerful in the martial arts back then, all the famous figures of the Huashan School recognized him as the Huashan School's century-old martial arts No. It was a stumbling block that inspired Yuan Yiming to break out of the school, and then he founded the Taihua School. In fact, the two schools of martial arts come from the same source. In terms of martial arts alone, it seems that the Taihua School is stronger. 1 years ago, the Taihua School The Pai contributed to the imperial court, and the Grand Scholars of the Cabinet had already voted to hand over all the peaks of Mount Hua to the Taihua Pai. However, the late Emperor passed away, and this matter was shelved..."

When Liu Kang said this, Liu Yong's face changed drastically, and his hands were already trembling slightly.Although Li Qiufeng has only known Liu Yong for a few days, he has always admired him for his fearlessness in the face of danger, and his faint demeanor of a master.Unexpectedly, Liu Kangyi's few words would cause the world-famous star-catching swordsman to be in chaos, and he could hardly control himself.

Liu Kang went on to say: "Mr. Liu is a smart man, we can speak in a smart way. The battle of Yong'an City is now inevitable. Whether the Huashan faction participates has little impact on the overall situation. It's just the factions of the martial arts. His luck will inevitably change because of the battle. Head Qiu is highly skilled in martial arts and superior in wisdom, so even though he is in the midst of internal and external troubles, he still sent Mr. Liu to lead his disciples to the Central Plains. Mr. Liu will not take such painstaking efforts. Don't you know?"

Liu Yong was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "What Ge Lao said is true. In the battle of Yong'an City, Ge Lao gambled on the world, and we gambled on the survival of the sect. Am I right?"

"That's right. Since Mr. Liu understands the joints, do you still want to leave?" Liu Kang smiled slightly, and after he finished speaking, he took another sip of tea.

Liu Yong said: "If my Huashan faction participates in the battle of Yong'an City, can Mr. Ge guarantee that the Huashan faction will live on Huashan's Luoyan Peak forever?"

Liu Kang shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "I can vouch for the Songshan faction, but not the Huashan faction. Mr. Liu, do you want to know the reason?"

Liu Yong said: "I would like to hear the details."

Liu Kang stood up, paced slowly in the hall, and said as he walked: "If you want to fulfill the wishes of Head Qiu and Mr. Liu, the battle of Yong'an City must only be successful, and you must not fail. Just to be honest, the old man is right. There is no chance of winning this battle. Once Yong'an City is lost, the world will compete for the throne. It is not known who will win and who will lose. How can I guarantee that the Huashan faction will eventually be rewarded by the court? Besides, the Taihua faction has gradually regained its vitality in the past ten years. It is not as good as when it was in its heyday 12 years ago, but it has forced the Huashan faction to be careful in everything and dare not compete with the Central Plains martial arts. Although this is not a blessing for the Huashan faction, it is extremely rare for one side to be safe. Mr. Liu, you need Remember one thing, chivalry is prohibited by martial arts, and the court will never allow one sect to dominate! If any gang wants to take the lead, the court will definitely try to subvert it. You see, Shaolin and Wudang are equally famous in the world. If one of the factions dies, the other faction must not last long."

Liu Yong said: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be of no benefit for our Huashan faction to participate in the battle of Yong'an City?"

Liu Kang said: "Mr. Liu's words are wrong. If the Huashan faction is willing to help the old man, it can maintain its position in the rivers and lakes. If it does not participate in this matter, it will definitely be annexed by the Taihua faction. Whichever is more important for the two interests, The lesser of the two evils. The Huashan faction is alone in Shaanxi and has been tabooed by the imperial court. It is not easy to maintain the current power. Mr. Liu, you should think twice before acting."

Liu Yong smiled miserably, and said: "A master plays chess and pushes his opponent into a desperate situation invisibly. The pavilion has already set up a formation, and the road ahead is a deep abyss. The Huashan faction can only move forward, so why think twice?"

Liu Kang said: "That's not always the case. Mr. Liu still needs to take the big idea. Besides, if Mr. Liu is not angry, even if he arrives in Yong'an City, he only wants to protect himself and refuses to contribute, which is not beautiful..."

Liu Yong cupped his hands and said, "Elder Ge doesn't need to say more, Liu knows what to do."

Liu Kangdao: "Among the six or seven hundred heroes, Mr. Liu is the most respected when it comes to martial arts and wisdom. We are going to Yong'an City this time, and I ask Mr. Liu to spare a lot of effort and help us accomplish this matter."

Liu Yong nodded, turned around and walked out of the hall.But when he passed by Li Qiufeng, he nodded slightly to him, with a slight apology in his eyes.

After Liu Yong walked out of the palace gate, Liu Kang smiled slightly and said to Li Qiufeng: "Now there are only two of you and me left in this hall, you may as well speak up if you have something to say. Liu Yong is extremely smart, with his help, let's hold on Yong'an City, I have a little more confidence. Nephew, don't you really want to help the old man?"

"I don't want to!" Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice, "Elder Ge is worthy of being a veteran of the officialdom. He lures Songshan and other sects with profit; he uses force to force Huashan sect. It's just that you use this method to let the heroes of the world work for you , don't you feel ashamed?"

Liu Kang laughed, and said: "I have devoted all my energy to the people of the world, why should I be ashamed?"

Li Qiufeng snorted, and said: "After the elder Ge became an official, I heard that he bought farms and houses in the south of the Yangtze River and bought thousands of hectares of good land. Many people put their land under the name of the elder in order to avoid paying land taxes. Xiang, Mr. Ge earns a lot of money every year. Those opponents who want to restore the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei are bound to be like when the first emperor was in power, riding everywhere and shaking the world. Civil officials like Mr. Ge have to worry about it every day The matter of the fields and houses will be known to the imperial court. Over the past few years, Lord Liang, Lord Zhou, and Lord Lin, who have become officials, have all become big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, each with more than [-] hectares of land. Under the official robe, which one is not the biggest landlord in the area? Although Ge Lao claimed to be the leader of the people in the world, this is certainly true. But if you are not worried about losing your land and houses and not being able to keep them with your children and grandchildren, you Will the old man still work so hard and run around?"

Liu Kang's complexion changed, he pondered for a moment, and then said to Li Qiufeng: "You have been a Jinyi guard for five years, and you are really knowledgeable and tolerant. Master doesn't know whether to be happy or worried."
