Nine chapters
From the Moon Gate in the east courtyard of the Qin Mansion, a man and a woman walked out. The man had flying silver hair. He was dressed in a long black robe with wide sleeves. He was hunting in the wind. He had a guqin with many small holes crooked in his left arm. The woman was dressed in a black gauze evening dress, her jade neck was slightly exposed, dark clouds were falling, her mood was leisurely, and there was a hint of sadness between her brows.
Lord Mingcheng put away his sword and said: "It turns out that Brother Bailangqin Cang has arrived. I wonder if Alliance Leader Zheng is in good health? How good are Director Jing, Chief Luo, Chief Tong and the others?"
Although his outward attitude was modest, Cang Shuilan knew in his heart that when he spoke like this when they met, he was simply implying that he was just one of the Ten Swordsmen of the Yuan Dynasty, and that he knew that Lord Cheng could directly talk to Alliance Leader Zheng in the world. , a figure who is on an equal footing with the chiefs of the three branches of the Hundred Swords Alliance. Although he did not say a word in his words, he secretly suppressed him. He did not care and said with a smile: "Everything is fine."
Mr. Mingcheng said: "Shen didn't know that Mr. Shang was a guest at the Qin family and harassed Yaxing. I hope you will forgive me. This conflict is a grudge between our two families and has nothing to do with the Hundred Swords Alliance. If you were involved, Juhao Pavilion will regard your alliance as having decided to join the war, please consider it carefully!"
As he spoke, he looked at Cang Shuilan's face, wanting to find out Cang Shuilan's true attitude. Originally, according to the investigation, the main combat force of the Qin Mansion was Qin Langchuan, his son Qin Yi, and the two butlers, Gu Mowenyan and four others. Master, the extraordinary Chang Sihao who appeared out of thin air has been taken into account. Another Liao Gushi appeared tonight, which is even more detrimental to our side. If Cang Shuilan helps the Qin Mansion again and causes extra problems, it may be difficult to win and delay the victory. After a long time, the troops from the surrounding prefectures and counties rushed to the scene after hearing the news. Although the fighting power was not strong, the number of people was overwhelming. Not only could they not win, but it would also be difficult to retreat. Although the Hundred Swords Alliance had always been on good terms with the Qin family, their opponents Since it was Juhao Pavilion, Alliance Leader Zheng had to consider one thing or two. Cang Shuilan was just a swordsman in the alliance. How could he have the ability to declare war on behalf of the alliance leader? After saying this, it was expected that Cang Shuilan was related to the Qin family. No matter how good a relationship is, it has to be put aside for a while.
Cang Shuilan said: "Mr. Mingcheng is indeed outspoken, but at this moment Cang has withdrawn from the alliance. His future actions are all personal decisions and do not represent the attitude of the Hundred Sword Alliance."
Of course, others did not know about his withdrawal from the alliance. As a swordsman, Mr. Mingcheng expected that what he said was true. He secretly thought that this would make things more difficult. He said: "In this case, your Majesty wants to help Qin." Home?" Cang Shuilan smiled: "Mr. Qin knows the truth and values righteousness, but he has no kindness to Cang. Your Excellency is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and has no enmity with me."
Lord Mingcheng said: "Then what is the purpose of Your Majesty's appearance?"
Cang Shuilan glanced around and said, "I have something to say from the bottom of my heart. Can Mr. Mingcheng temporarily order a truce?"
Lord Mingcheng said: "If your Majesty wants to make peace between the two families, there is no need to waste all your efforts."
Cang Shuilan smiled: "Cang is definitely not a lobbyist, please rest assured, Mr. Mingcheng."
Lord Mingcheng waved his sword and shouted: "Stop!"
After hearing this, the warriors of Juhao Pavilion withdrew one after another and retreated behind Lord Mingcheng. Although these people were tired from the long battle or were injured, their eyes were firm and there was no trace of sorrow or complaint. After retreating, they arranged their formations. Extremely strict, showing his extraordinary discipline and quality. Xi Haoxiong jumped out of the circle with a hammer, his head was steaming with heat, he was sweating profusely, his mouth was bleeding, and he was breathing heavily. He was obviously injured by Qin Langchuan's internal force. Feng Quanxiao Euphorbia They were reluctant to withdraw, so Qi Beishan was already seriously injured at this time. Perhaps with a few more moves, he could be taken down. However, Lord Mingcheng had orders, and no one dared to disobey them. The people outside the street also stopped and gathered together. There were still dozens of red-clothed warriors left on the pavilion side. They followed Yun Bianqing and Feng Hongye into the Qin Mansion and gathered behind Lord Mingcheng. Almost all the men brought back by Chen Shengyi were killed, so Chang Sihao confronted him. He lowered his gaze and returned to the formation with Qin Juexiang and the others.
Qin Ziyin helped his uncle Qin Yi retreat to the side of the collapsed main hall of the Qin Mansion. Qi Beishan went over to help. Qin Langchuan said: "Beishan, how are you injured?" Qi Beishan said: "The uncle's arm bone is broken, the injury is not serious.
." Qin Langchuan said: "I'm asking you." Qi Beishan felt hot in his heart: "I'm fine. Don't worry, old man."
Qin Menghuan invited Cang Shuilan to meet him, and Qin Langchuan laughed and returned the greeting: "It's not a coincidence that Cang Dajian is here, otherwise I would have had a few drinks with you!" Liao Gushi stood aside with resentment, and no one took a second look.
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "I offended him with my words that day, but he didn't care. He came to help the Qin family because of me. It can be seen that he is a person who keeps his word and is cold-hearted. But he can't say much about the situation now.
I will accompany him again, right?"
The camps were separated, and the two sides faced each other. There were corpses lying around in the courtyard, pools of blood were like mirrors, and the ground was clear. Lord Mingcheng said: "Brother Cang, you have something to say."
Cang Shuilan walked slowly to the courtyard and said: "Mr. Mingcheng, Old Master Qin, Cang would like to ask, who are the three most powerful forces in the world today?"
Lord Mingcheng knew that there must be a deep meaning in his words, so he did not hesitate to answer. Qin Langchuan said: "In terms of strength, the Baijian Alliance and Juhao Pavilion are the first ones to recommend. Our Qin family, I can barely count as the third."
Cang Shuilan said: "The Qin family has been in Shanxi for a long time. Renhe and Antai have influenced Henan and Shaanxi. Juhao Pavilion has unified the south of the Yangtze River. All the state capitals along the Yangtze River are under the influence of the Changsun pavilion master. There are tens of thousands of warriors under his command.
The combined sphere of influence of the two of you covers almost half of China. Let me ask you, even if someone can make both of you lose, who has the strength to replace you?"
Mr. Mingcheng rolled his eyes and thought about his intention. Qin Langchuan said: "Besides the Hundred Sword Alliance, Juhao Pavilion and the Qin family, the number of sects and gangs in Jianghu is at most a few hundred people, and there are few more than a thousand, and
It’s a mixed bag of good and bad, and most of them are useless. Take Shanxi, for example, even if the Qin family is no longer there, there are several prominent gangs who want to fill the gap and take advantage of the opportunity to become powerful, but they can’t."
Lord Mingcheng said: "So, only the Hundred Swords Alliance has this strength."
Cang Shuilan smiled: "The Hundred Swords Alliance has this strength, but does not have this idea. As we all know, the Hundred Swords Alliance is a guild. It is different from ordinary gangs in the world. Its first purpose is to carry forward the way of swordsmanship.
The Xiujian Hall in the Jianghu exists beyond the martial arts world and has never been concerned with external affairs. This is because from the time when the first generation of the Hundred Sword Alliance established it, they had already seen that the rise and fall of gangs in the Jianghu were temporary, and
People's pursuit of martial arts and swordsmanship is eternal. One of the reasons why the Hundred Swords Alliance can remain in the capital is that it has no direct interest relationship with any force, party, or organization. It can do anything
They are friends of one force, but they are not attracted by them. It is difficult for others to recruit them, but they dare not offend them, because no one wants to become the enemy of the Hundred Swords Alliance. Many people give up their family property when they join the alliance.
Gifted to the Hundred Swords Alliance, it has owned countless businesses and industries over the past hundred years, and even controlled several quite large financial groups. Talents who are interested in swordsmanship have also come to it. It has no worries about economics.
It has no shortage of talents, so the Hundred Swords Alliance naturally grows bigger without deliberately expanding, and grows stronger without deliberately organizing itself. How can it be interested in things like swallowing up gangs and separatizing territories? Moreover, from a human perspective, Alliance Leader Zheng and
Mr. Qin has a deep friendship and would never do such a thing."
Mr. Mingcheng laughed and said: "Leader Zheng is a great man in the world. Even if he wanted to do it, he would not do it so badly. The instigation of conflict between my two families was just Xiaoxiao's doing, and Pavilion Master Changsun has never cared about it.
From my heart."
Qi Beishan thought to himself: "This is back to the original point. Juhao Pavilion is just going with the flow and taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. How can it care about who is behind the instigation between the two families? Cang Shuilan can't make peace, it seems.
We have to fight." Looking at the main force in Juhao Pavilion, there are currently only five people: Lord Mingcheng, Feng Hongye, Yun Bianqing, Xi Haoxiong and Feng Quanxiao, and there are only about a hundred warriors.
Our uncle is seriously injured, and the fourth girl, Jue Xiang and the eldest lady are weak in combat. The old gentleman can only fight Mingcheng Jun. The only one who can fight is Chang Sihao. Liao Gushi can actually fight with Mingcheng.
You are evenly matched and have good skills. Maybe you won't suffer a loss against one of the two emperors Fengyun. Since he wants to repay his kindness, he will not leave. Seeing this, he sighed in his heart: "Alas, the Qin family is declining year by year, and there are no successors.
People, today they are in need of help from outsiders, and they are still two children! I just don’t know which camp Cang Shuilan will stand on, or will the two sides not help each other?" He glanced at the faces of the people opposite him, and saw the other party's ridicule.
There was blood seeping out from the corner of Haoxiong's mouth, and he thought: "He and the old man took action, which cost a lot of physical strength and caused internal injuries. When they start their action later, let Chang Sihao and Liao Gushi resist Feng Hongye and Yun Bianqing first.
I will go and kill him, and then I will attack Feng Quanxiao with Jizhi, and after we win, we will work together to fight against the Second Emperor Fengyun, and the Qin family may still have hope."
He made up his mind and looked at Chen Sheng. The two had been at Qin's house for a long time and had a tacit understanding in their hearts. They exchanged glances and immediately understood what the other meant. They each secretly adjusted their momentum, observed the enemy's position, and prepared to attack.
At this time, Cang Shuilan said calmly: "Juhao Pavilion is expanding its power in the south of the Yangtze River and getting bigger year by year. The imperial court has long been wary of it. I think Lord Mingcheng must know about this."
