Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 32: Draw the Road
Facing Long Changxu's greeting, a man in his thirties and about six feet tall walked in.

This person was wearing a light blue Hengshan disciple uniform, with a belt of the same color around his waist. The hilt of the sword was exposed from the belt, and the sword blade shone with cold light, revealing the "Yanfeng Misty Rain" on it.

His nose was high and his lips were tightly closed, showing a sense of indifference.

So much so that when he smiled at everyone in the hall, his coldness lingered.

"A disciple of Hengshan, thin, six feet tall, with a beard."

Zhao Rong's brain roared with a "boom".

Right.

It completely matched Qu Feiyan's description.

Is Erwuzi this guy?
Zhao Rong opened his eyes and stared at his every move like everyone present.

"Senior Brother Lai!"

Lu Shilai also stepped forward to say hello, but Zhao Rong saw that he had a strange expression and no enthusiasm, so he knew that this person was not a disciple of Liu Sanye.

Is it the leader's line?
"Junior brother Lu, why don't you see someone sent by your uncle today?"

Lu Shilai said: "Perhaps he knows that senior brother Lai is coming here, so why send other senior brothers here."

"makes sense."

Senior Brother Lai snarled and glanced at the martial arts people in the North, but said nothing and left them where they were.

This show of force is even more ruthless than Chang Rui Escort's display of weapons.

Although Wentai, Tan Quanli, Feng Yilin and others did not speak, they looked at Senior Brother Lai with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Huh, it's just because of his status as an inner sect in Hengshan.

If they really fight, they won't necessarily be afraid of anyone.

Seeing Zhao Rong's contemplative expression, Lu Gui immediately whispered in his ear: "That's Lu Lianrong's second disciple Lai Zhirui."

"I don't have a good relationship with escort leader Lu, and I even have conflicts with senior brother Xiang Danian." The last sentence was said in a subtle way, and Lu Gui didn't want to get into trouble.

Zhao Rong cast a grateful look.

Disciple of the Golden Eyed Crow.

That's right. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

This guy deliberately hid himself. If he had sat openly in the hall from the beginning, most people in Sanhemen would not have dared to be so arrogant.

No wonder Long Changxu was confident.

Oh~~!

Zhao Rong remembered Senior Brother Lai's background and suddenly realized Long Changxu's plan.

Long Changxu was originally Liu Sanye's man, but the Hengshan Sect arranged for Lu Lianrong's disciple to come forward. From the outside, it was like giving Long Changxu two backers at once.

People who don't know the inside story might think that Liu Sanye and Lu Lianrong are supporting the Changrui Escort Bureau.

These two together are equivalent to most of the power of the Hengshan Sect.

As long as Long Changxu makes the matter bigger and spreads the news, it will be enough to stabilize the merchants from the north and south who cooperate with him, and he can also use the attitudes of the two masters and sects in Hengshan to deter the escort robbers.

Coupled with the help of many martial arts comrades, the momentum of the escort agency will be strengthened.

No need to fight or kill, Long Changxu turned bad things into good things.

By the way, let the Hengshan faction knock on the three-fold door that was delivered to the door, so that they could steal the chicken and lose the rice with the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

Gao, head escort!
unfortunately
I'm afraid the gang of bandits on Shajiao Island will hear your plan clearly.

He couldn't help but glance at Lai Zhirui.

This guy is most likely a young man, ready to backstab him at any time.

Zhao Rong took a peek at his face and could already feel some faction fighting.

It seems that what Lao Lu said before was correct.

Even if you join a sect, you are still a solitary person. You can gain status externally and appear to be prosperous, but you are not so easy to get along with internally.

It is still necessary to develop the guild and cultivate its own power.

He couldn't help but look at Qiu Guangjun, and Old Qiu happened to look over there as well, and suddenly saw Zhao Rong smiling at him. Old Qiu suddenly felt dizzy.

What's going on, this sudden kindness?

Isn't this young man always on guard against me?

Lao Qiu was thinking about it and suddenly looked at his white and tender baby cabbage.

broken
Did Meng Yin succeed?
When did this happen?
While he was thinking about it, a burst of sneer attracted his attention again.

"Young Master, it seems that you know quite a bit about the loss of my Hengshan disciple in Poyang Lake, but do you know the origin of the escort robber?" Lai Zhirui, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, looked at Feng Yilin with a strange look.

Threatening unceremoniously: "The Hengshan faction is secretly investigating this matter. I hope that you will not be implicated."

Feng Yilin and others looked at each other, each filled with doubts.

How could Lu Lianrong's disciple stand up for Changrui Escort Agency? Haven't Mr. Liu San and Golden Eyed Crow been in conflict for a long time?

Shaking hands to make peace because something happened to one of his disciples?
The truth is unknown at the moment.

But judging from Lai Zhirui's attitude, the Hengshan School seemed determined to take care of it, which was completely different from the information they had heard.

"Don't get me wrong, the Poyang Lake incident has nothing to do with us," Feng Yilin reacted quickly enough and carried him out of the backstage, "Senior Yu Jizi of the Taishan Sect can testify that the Sanhemen went south to fight with Mr. Long. Cooperate to ensure the safety of the escort route and do some business on the way.”

"There is no need to cooperate. Sanhemen can eat meat, and Changrui can drink his own soup." Long Changxu decisively refused.

After Lai Zhirui heard Yu Jizi's name, he stopped talking about Poyang Lake.

He smiled strangely and stared at the sullen Wentai, "Business cooperation is about mutual consent. The chief escort has never made any move, so you might as well go home."

"I don't have to worry about the things I send."

The people at Sanhemen and Zhenyuan Escort Bureau all looked ugly.

If you turn around and leave now, how can you gain a foothold in the world in the future with such an anticlimactic outcome?
Lai Zhirui is too arrogant!
Wentai's eyes turned red and he was immediately irritated.

"Senior Brother Lai, did the people from Zhenyuan Escort Bureau die in vain?"

"Junior Brother Lu has already said that he didn't kill him, and besides, you were the first to do it."

"Empty words!"

"Then what does the young owner think we should do?"

Wen Tai's father is Wen Yizhen, the owner of Benlei Villa in Changsha. He is a man of both internal and external skills and good martial arts. He also has many friends in Changsha. Lai Zhirui is just using the power of the sect to suppress others. He himself does not want to really offend him. The upper body is sexy.

After some oppression, Wingtech was given a chance to speak.

"Of course we have to draw a line!"

Wentai spoke and glanced at everyone in Changrui Escort Agency.

Zhao Rong, who was huddled next to a pillar watching the show, had the illusion that this young man with an explosive temper always seemed to be looking in his direction.

"What kind of way?" Long Changxu asked.

There were so many people at the Changrui Escort Bureau. Tan Quanli was worried that Wentai would say the wrong thing, so he immediately took the lead:
"The rise and fall of the Escort Bureau depends on the skill of the hands, so it is determined by force."

Tan Quanli raised three fingers: "Let's send three people each to see who wins the most battles."

"The previous grievances have been wiped out. If the Changrui Escort Agency fails this time, my Zhenyuan Escort Agency will go south to do business in the future. Please don't disturb us openly or secretly."

He Daren stood up and said:
"it is good!"

"Then if you lose, just let go of the gate of Yingtian Mansion and find some trivial excuse at the dock to detain the goods of my escort agency. I hope it won't happen again."

"Then take a hundred moves as the limit, and you can't use hidden weapons or poisons. If you can't defeat your opponent within a hundred moves, it will be a draw."

He Daren added restrictions, because there was a high chance that they would meet Mr. Gu Mingzong. He was a very good pipa player, but he was not good at playing attrition.

Within a hundred moves, Gu Mingzong didn't have to worry and used all his strength.

The bet is second.

Only by winning the duel can you gain momentum and publicize it in the future to hurt the opponent.

Although the tongue is soft, the words that come out can sometimes hurt more than the sword.
