Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 53 Rumors
As the saying goes, spring is full of joy with rain and dew, and winter is full of wind and frost.

As we approach the twelfth lunar month, the new wind is getting tighter, and the coldness is rolling into our faces, soaking into Yancheng in the afterglow of the setting sun. Pedestrians and horses are rushing on the road, and the pickers and pickers at Luosu Wharf are also wrapped in a layer of cotton clothes.

But among the warriors in the roadside inns and restaurants, after a few glasses of wine, some of them deliberately opened their clothes to expose their bellies, so that others would know that they were not afraid of the cold.

There is no shortage of gossip in restaurants and teahouses from ancient times to the present.

The humiliating defeat of the Changrui Escort Bureau has become the biggest topic in the Hengzhou Prefecture escort business these days.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the wild geese flying across the sky would laugh at him.

How did he leave the city with such fanfare?

The current embarrassment is really more than doubled.

Decades of reputation were almost destroyed in one day.

"The Changrui Escort Bureau suffered a huge setback. I heard that more than a hundred people died in Le'an, but few came back alive!"

"It is said that they are the same group of bandits who robbed the escorts in Poyang Lake last time! I have a friend who happens to be in Le'an and witnessed a large number of black-clothed masters with his own eyes. If it were not for the help of local martial arts people, I am afraid that Mr. Long, the escort chief, would have been killed there!"

"It's scary! I don't know where the green forest bandits are. Chang Rui has provoked such evil stars. Who will dare to ask for their bodyguards in the future?"

Some people smacked the table with indignation: "These bandits are simply lawless."

"Humph, that's how it is in Jianghu. Whoever has the sharpest sword will be justified!" There is an emperor who understands Jianghu and sees through everything.

"..."

Changrui Escort Agency has always occupied the top spot in Hengyang Escort Agency, and its reputation is endless. All their peers have to look at their faces. Now that they are ruined, it is inevitable to be slandered and ridiculed.

Even a great sect may be destroyed in one day.

The rise and fall of only one escort agency is just a small splash in the vast world.

There is one more thing that makes the forces in Hengzhou Prefecture extremely concerned.

"Have you heard? The leader of the Hengshan Sect, Mr. Xiaoxiang Yeyu Mo Da, wants to accept a direct disciple!"

In the busiest tea shop at the west dock of the city, a local warrior from Hengyang shared the news with excitement.

"nonsense!"

A passer-by took off his bamboo hat and retorted: "The last time Mr. Mo Da accepted a disciple was more than ten years ago. Now he is everywhere. Many things in the sect are taken care of by Mr. Liu Sanye and Mr. Lu. He has been around for a long time." If you go to enjoy a happy life, how can you accept a direct disciple?"

"Then you don't know something!"

"My cousin is working for the Red Wolf Gang. Mr. Mo Da issued an order to summon all the disciples of the leader's line back to the mountain. The gang leader said this himself, how can it be false?"

The man's voice was loud: "Gang Leader Shang himself and a senior hall master are planning to come to the door in person to congratulate you!"

"Oh~!!"

The tea patrons who listened to the gossip around them were all in high spirits, as if they had learned something important.

"Dr. Tea over there, please keep your voice down for now!"

A man in shorts stood up from the corner and said hurriedly: "Brother, do you know which family the direct disciple Mr. Mo Da has accepted comes from? Are they from Hengzhou Prefecture?"

"Exactly!" He laughed loudly.

"Here, I'll buy your brother's tea!" Someone grabbed the teapot and poured it for him, wanting to hear him continue.

This man didn't show off either. He stood on the bench, bent over and said:
"Everyone should have heard of this direct disciple."

"Oh?"

"It is the young genius who was famous in Hengyang some time ago and defeated the number one Thunderbolt Handler Wentai among the young generation in Taojiang with one move!"

When he shouted, there was an uproar around him.

"It turns out to be him!"

Someone patted his thigh, "I didn't believe the news before, but now it seems to be true. Even Mr. Mo Da, who has not accepted a disciple for more than ten years, can't help but accept him as his disciple. What a genius he is!"

"I heard that my surname is Zhao Mingrong, and I am fifteen years old!"

"So small! Damn it, I'm really living a dog's life." A big man cursed and took a gulp of liquor.

Some people murmured: "Mr. Mo Da is just a personal successor. Isn't he the next generation leader of the Hengshan Sect?!"

When everyone thought about it, it was true!
There are more than one teahouses and restaurants that are so popular today, and the leaders have done little to hide it. Some people deliberately let out the news.

Many people hurriedly left the tea shop after listening.

If it is true that the next generation leader of the Hengshan Sect is selected, it is almost related to the change of power of the entire sect. In Hengzhou Prefecture, a place where the Hengshan Sect is respected, the impact is not small.

Someone rode out of the city and ran wildly.

For example, the short-handed man who was obedient in the tea shop just now was from the Longquanqiu family who stayed in Hengyang to inquire about information.

All along, the Qiu family thought that Zhao Rong wanted to worship Mr. Liu.

Now he suddenly became the head of the family.

Mr. Mo Da is not getting along well with Mr. Liu San. What should we do?

At the end of the year, the Qiu family is going to worship the third master again, and at the same time give Zhao Rong the famous sword Qiushui. The family was originally enjoying themselves, but now they have become two people.
shit!
When the man suddenly heard the bad news, sweat broke out on his forehead. He rushed out of the north of the city, riding his horse and galloping all the way.

……

Hengzhou Mansion, inside the Red Wolf Gang.

A middle-aged man wearing purple training clothes was walking around in front of the Crouching Tiger Screen. It was Shang Yukang, the leader of the Red Wolf Gang, with a sad look on his face.

He paced back and forth, restless. The Red Wolf Gang was the largest gang in Hengyang, and on the surface it could compete with the evil Haisha Gang. Shang Yukang was a well-known figure in Hengyang.

Looking at the scenery, Shang Yukang knew exactly which bowl of rice he had eaten.

If he does not rely on the Hengshan Sect, he is nothing.

Ever since he learned about Wu Xilei's rebellion, Shang Yukang had not had a peaceful night's sleep.

First, they are worried about whether the Hengshan sect will still trust them.

Secondly, the Changrui incident made him frightened, and Shang Yukang did not want to follow in his footsteps and become an outcast.

He is now anxious to show his loyalty.

It's true that Wu Xilei is an old brother, but at this time Shang Yukang can scold his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Finally, footsteps sounded at the door.

An old man about sixty years old came in. He was none other than Elder Lu Zhongsheng.

Elder Lu has a nephew named Lu Songfeng, who is one of the few inner disciples of the head of the family.

"Brother Lu, what did nephew Songfeng say?"

Shang Yukang asked anxiously.

"There is a guarantee."

Lu Zhongsheng shook his head slightly, "Mr. Mo Da doesn't want to see you."

"what!"

"Did Mr. Mo Da say it himself?"

"Exactly."

This news was like a bolt from the blue. Gang Leader Shang, who had always been calm and composed, became a little impatient and walked around even faster.

"I know the gang leader is in a hurry, but please don't be anxious yet."

"Can I not be in a hurry?

"Mr. Mo Da doesn't want to see you, but you can see his disciples."

Lu Zhongsheng gave a suggestion: "For example, Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Xi, or the leader himself can go and talk to Song Feng."

Shang Yukang felt that it was unreliable. Even if he met the inner disciples, it would be useless. The decision-making power always rested with Mo Da.

The figures of all the inner disciples of the leader's line flashed through his mind, and then he shook his head secretly.

He knew all of them and had good relationships with them.

But no one dared to speak loudly in front of Mo Da, let alone question their master's decision.

suddenly,

Shang Yukang's steps stagnated, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

As a human being who has wandered around the world, he vaguely grasped the key to the problem.

correct
Personal disciple!

Lu Zhongsheng must have misunderstood.

Since Mo Da didn't see me, he should have asked me to find this direct disciple.

He had just joined the sect and had no prestige or connections.

This is Mo Da's attempt to pave the way for him and transfer authority. And since I have been implicated by Wu Xi Lei, I will definitely become the first person in the leader's family to sincerely worship the dock.

If the pier worship is not good, you may have to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

It seems that Mr. Mo Da is serious about training this person to be the leader!
What a rarity.

Shang Yukang held his chin and sat down.

He glanced at Lu Zhongsheng and showed a smile.

"Brother Lu, thank you for your advice. I have to think about it carefully."

"Well," Lu Zhongsheng also smiled, "Gang leader, don't worry too much. You don't know anything about Wu Xi and others. It's just that this matter has embarrassed the Hengshan sect. It's normal for Mr. Mo Da to be a little angry, but he has always been reasonable. "

"I understand." Shang Yukang smiled and cupped his hands.

After Lu Zhongsheng finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Shang Yukang looked at his back and immediately showed a sneer.

When someone is a fool?
To visit other inner disciples at this time would not be to stand on the opposite side of the direct disciple.

Seeing that the position of leader has been lost, you guys are not anxious on the surface, but in your heart I am afraid you are more anxious than Mr. Shang.

You want to use me as a spearman and ask me to jump into the fire pit.

Bah~!
