Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 96: The Great Protector's Plan is Broken
Luguan Pavilion.

Adjacent to Qinxuan, only five meters to the east, this attic is an elegant and quiet room used by Mr. Mo Da to meet guests.

Zhao Rong was curious about the origin of the name at first, but Feng Qiaoyun told him that the name of the attic was given by Master Mo and was taken from the homonym of "Luguange".

Originated from Cen Jiazhou's "Reed Pipe Song at General Pei's House".

As the saying goes: It is a pity that the new pipe is clear and sad, and the wind blows the song over the sea. The trees on the sea are desolate, the sky is rainy and frosty, and the pipe sounds are dim and the moon is blue.

The sadness and desolation in the sound of the reed pipe, the ups and downs of sorrow, and the profound melancholy, aren't they just right?

The golden sunlight poured in through the window, making the strings and flutes in the inner room sparkle brightly. On the left and right were quaint bamboo chairs inlaid with fallen leaves with patterns that looked like musical notes.

The Songshan School would definitely not be able to perform such an elegant move, but the Hengshan master just did it casually.

Mr. Mo Da asked them to sit down.
Fei Bin and Le Hou fiddled with the smooth armrests and looked around the cabinet.

Instead of being immersed in the classical atmosphere in the air, the two men felt that this arrangement was ridiculous. It was far inferior to the solemn and awe-inspiring style of the Songshan School and was daunting.

"Arong, serve tea."

"Yes."

Feng Qiaoyun brought a cup of tea, and Zhao Rong respectfully presented it to the two guards.

"Play the flute music slowly and freely, have a good chat and drink the cloud tea."

"This is a unique feature of Hengyang."

Mr. Mo Da took out his treasure and said with a smile, "Two senior brothers, please have a taste."

Fei Bin and Le Hou each said "you're welcome", and suddenly found that after Zhao Rong gave three cups of tea to Mo Da and the other two, there was only a small and exquisite blue-and-white glazed cup left on the tray.

Any other guests?
The guards were still nervous and on edge, and were wary of Mo Da, so they naturally checked the situation carefully.

They secretly took a deep breath and their ears moved slightly.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, getting closer and closer. Mo Da, the two guards, and Zhao Rong, all of them had their eyes flying towards the outside of Luguan Pavilion. The disciples around them all followed slowly.

"Hahaha!"

Before anyone arrived, hearty laughter was heard.

"My two senior brothers have come from afar. I am too late to greet you at the mountain gate. I am really ashamed~!"

The man who came was dressed in a dark silk robe and had a ruddy face, looking like a wealthy and prosperous lord. Who else could it be but Mr. Liu Sanye?

Fei Bin and Le Hou's pupils shrank, and they tightened their hands around the cups slightly, with waves surging in their hearts.

The things I was thinking about in my mind before changed dozens of times in almost an instant!

The sudden arrival of Mr. Liu Sanye was considered beyond the scope even for Alliance Leader Zuo.

The two nuns were both good at qigong and were only slightly stiff at this moment, without showing much abnormality.

It is well known that Liu Zhengfeng and Mo Da have always been at odds with each other.

It was exposed in the previous Five Mountains Alliance.

But how to explain it now?

The Third Master descended from the sky, and anyone could tell that he was supporting Mo Da.

The two bodyguards exchanged glances secretly; they were caught off guard.

"Senior Brother Fei."

"Senior Brother Liu."

"Senior Brother Le."

"Junior Brother Liu."

The three of them greeted each other first, and Liu Zhengfeng sat down leisurely and took the teacup offered by Zhao Rong.

He lifted the lid of the cup and muttered:
"Brother is a stingy person. Since you have good tea, why don't you ask me to drink it?"

Fei Bin and Le Hou looked down on him secretly.

"How ridiculous! If I hadn't called you, how could I have prepared the cups in advance?"

'The Hengshan School is really good at acting!'

They were a little dazed and did not notice the subtle movements of Liu Zhengfeng and Mo Da.

After Mr. Liu San came in, the first thing he did was look at Zhao Rong.

"My dear nephew, I will give you face this time. Otherwise, I would never enter this Luguan Pavilion. Who would like such sad and desolate reed pipe music? It's so vulgar!"

When Mo Da saw Liu San coming in, he immediately glanced at Zhao Rong.

"My dear disciple, Master will give you face this time, otherwise he would never let Liu San enter this attic. How could he appreciate the beautiful painting of the customs of children in Liaodong picking reeds in late September when reed leaves are everywhere?"

The elders were very critical and picky about art, which put Zhao Rong under a lot of pressure.

On the other side, Fei Bin and Le Hou exchanged glances secretly.

"Brother, it's too late to do anything."

"Well, the Hengshan Sect is hiding too deeply. These two old foxes have been pretending to be at odds. They have deceived the entire martial arts world and also deceived Lu Lianrong."

Taibao gritted his teeth secretly, feeling angry and furious.

Their plan failed!

Lu Lianrong had already been persuaded by them and would not show up.

If Mo Da was the only one here today, they would definitely use the power of Songshan to force the Hengshan leader's lineage.

Mo Da could say that the Songshan disciples on Shajiao Island were killed by the Demon Sect and the island bandits. The Songshan Sect could naturally request an "investigation".

There would be some complications in this matter, and the guards had already thought of it. They would use the excuse that Alliance Leader Zuo wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, and then take out the Five Mountains Alliance Leader's flag to trick Mo Da's direct disciple Zhao Rong into going to Mount Song, and let him, the participant, tell Alliance Leader Zuo in person.

"Hold the personal teachings to order the Sect Master."

This is Taibao's plan.

Mo Da could try to keep Zhao Rong in Hengshan, but this would be a forced violation of the order of the Five Mountains Alliance leader.

At the next Five Mountains Alliance meeting, Alliance Leader Zuo can use this as a threat to force Mo Da to join the "Five Mountains Alliance", and then the Songshan Sect's goal will be achieved.

but,

After Liu Zhengfeng appeared, there was no need for them to take out the Five Mountains Flags.

First of all, Liu Zhengfeng has a big name in the underworld, has wide connections, and has strong appeal.

Secondly, he was also afraid of the combined power of these two people.

On the territory of Hengshan Sect, the two originally conflicting forces stood side by side. Fei Bin and Le Hou could not use force, so they could only take the long view.

After they figured it out, they took another close look at Zhao Rong who was standing behind the bamboo chair.

The young man still looked respectful and humble, just a little young. The Songshan School was full of talented people, and there were many disciples like him.

Even if this boy is more talented, so what?

Even if the Hengshan Sect had one more Mo Da, it would not be able to reverse the trend.

Besides, that was many years later.

After they looked at him for a while, when Zhao Rong came to refill their tea, the guards only glanced at him.

The four elders reminisced about the past and talked about some past events of the Five Mountains.

The younger people present dared not interrupt.

The only one who has the courage is trying to lower his presence.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Hengyang is thousands of miles away from Songshan, so rumors are fine, but when the real person is in person, Zhao Rong naturally has to keep a low profile.

As long as he behaves himself, with the confidence of the Songshan Sect, they will basically not regard him as a threat.

Because of various arrangements,

Master Mo Da had already stood firmly in front of him, blocking the sight of the Songshan guards. The Songshan guards, who had originally looked down on Mo Da, would definitely be on their guard in the future.

This is not in line with Mr. Mo Da's philosophy of life.
However, the elderly can do even more.

Zhao Rong listened to their conversation from the Five Mountains Alliance Meeting in previous years to this trip south. Fei Bin's words were full of hidden meanings, hinting that Mo Da was up to something and was using them to get rid of the Demon Cult's followers.

However, Mo Da did not respond, but just smiled and said, "The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same blood."

It was very tacit that no one mentioned the matter of Shajiao Island.

The Songshan Sect sent people to cause trouble around Hengyang, and the Hengshan Sect killed the Songshan disciples.

Such a fierce fight seems not worthy of being brought to the table.

Seeing through Mr. Mo Da's careful plan and with Mr. Liu Sanye showing up, the two guards will not fall out with each other and can only swallow the bitter fruit of their misjudgment.

Returning to Songshan in disgrace was inevitable.

"Brother Mo," Fei Bin suddenly bowed in the attic, "I, Fei, will not waste words. This time I came here to pass on the message for Alliance Leader Zuo."

He held high a five-colored silk banner that was decorated with pearls and gems.

The brilliant light is eye-catching.

It is the "Five Mountains Alliance Leader's Order"!
"What instructions does the old man Zuo have?"

Fei Bin's tone suddenly became tough, and as he held up the banner, his eyes became arrogant and fierce:
"On the orders of the Left Alliance Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, on August 15th of this year, please invite the Five Mountains Sect Leaders to Songshan to attend the Five Mountains Alliance Meeting and discuss how to deal with the Demon Sect together!"

Mr. Mo Da simply said, "Nanyue Hengshan received the order."

"I will visit Leader Zuo as scheduled then."

"Okay!" Fei Bin responded and put away the command flag.

Mo Da asked again: "Have the other leaders been notified?"

"nature."

"Junior Brother Zhong Zhen has gone to Huashan to inform Sect Master Yue, Senior Brother Lu Bai has gone to Taishan, and the Master of Hengshan Sect has already been notified by Deng Bagong."

Fei Bin raised both hands:

"After three years, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival again. The Five Mountains Sword Sects have gathered at Songshan to discuss major events that will affect the martial arts world!"

Le Hou at the side said with a smile: "Mr. Mo Da, Senior Brother Zuo has been talking about you for a long time. This time, you must drink a few more glasses of Songshan fruit wine."

"Hahaha, easy to talk about."

Mo Da also smiled and stroked his beard.

Zhao Rong observed the expressions and looked around. Luguan Pavilion was already filled with invisible swords.

Mr. Liu San, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head secretly, feeling bored.
