"The old man of the Zhang family used the water-breaking sword technique to kill countless evil masters seventy years ago. He is still as strong as ever and his grace is still the same as before. Can he be considered a hero?"
When Fan Haowen said these words, everyone around him nodded secretly.
Zhang Xinye also looked proud. Mrs. Zhang was a mythical existence in the Zhang family.
Unexpectedly, Rong Jianxue sneered: "The Sword Master showed his unparalleled sharpness back then, but he was so good at Lin Feng that he was bound to be destroyed. After repelling the evil ways, he was targeted by many sects and aristocratic families, who used various dirty methods to force him to
I had to retire from the world.
Mr. Zhang was considered a subordinate of the Sword Master back then, but did he ever come out to speak for him? How can such behavior be called a hero?"
After Rong Jianxue said this, several people's expressions changed slightly. It was obvious that this was an old secret.
"You!" Zhang Xinye was furious and stared at Rong Jianxue, but the other party showed no fear and his expression was filled with emotion.
At this time, a clear female voice sounded:
"The head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, Mr. Lin, started from scratch. He opened up business routes in seven cities with one person's power, expelled bandits on the water, and his martial arts skills are so strong that he can be called a famous martial artist. Can he be a hero?"
Everyone looked up and saw a woman in yellow. This person was sitting next to the girl from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. It was obvious that the two had a close relationship.
Rong Jianxue shook his head and said: "General Lin can rule the roost in the southeast, but there are so many great masters in the world, and the Central Plains is full of heroes..."
Rong Jianxue didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very clear. Mr. Lin could only rule the roost in the southeast area.
Several people in the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau looked ugly, especially Fan Haowen, who had ridiculed the Golden Tiger Gang. His face was ashen and he looked at Rong Jianxue with red eyes.
After all, Mr. Lin, the escort chief, is like a god to the people in the escort agency. How could he be so underestimated?
When Liu Mang saw it, he couldn't help but admire this ruthless scholar. He would probably offend a lot of people if he dared to speak like this.
After Rong Jianxue stirred up the atmosphere, many sect disciples spoke enthusiastically and put forward their own opinions.
"General Han Yunzheng of Zhenxi is famous for his loyalty. Over the years, he has repelled the enemies from the Western Regions, defeated bandits everywhere, and restored peace to the people of the world. Can he be called a hero?" A man with a fair face and a bamboo hat asked, and at the same time he turned his attention to
Rong Jianxue.
Who would have thought that this time there would be a man in green shirt ahead of Rong Jianxue: "Huh, today I am obsessed with refining elixirs, while the princes below are fighting openly and secretly all day long. The Zhao country is now in a precarious state, with wind leaking everywhere, rebels swarming, and lots of crops.
Disaster.
General Han doesn’t want to dissuade the emperor or manage the affairs of the court, he just does these mending work all day long, but how can a foolish and loyal man be called a hero?"
The words were too sharp, and the scene fell into silence. However, the martial arts people had little respect for the imperial court, so many people began to discuss it.
Some agreed with what the man in green shirt said, while others expressed dissatisfaction with General Zhenxi. Everyone was talking about it in a lively manner.
Liu Mang sat quietly at the table, drinking and eating meat with Qi Quan and others, and listened to their bragging.
This is also a good opportunity to gain experience. He had never been able to enter this kind of circle before.
"Can Ji Sheng, King of Saibei, be a hero?" Zhou Lingyi couldn't help but ask.
"How can you be called a hero when you are far away from the central government, you are actually deeply feared by the emperor without realizing it, and your life is in the hands of villains in the court?" another woman retorted.
"The red hero Lu Gaoyang loves to fight against injustices, eliminates violence and upholds justice. Can he be a hero?" Wang Yuanjian also joined the speaker.
"It's just relying on the power of the Chixia Sword!" A yellow-faced man said disdainfully, causing Wang Yuanjian to glare at him angrily.
"Kong Huameng, the leader of the Overlord Sword Sect, unified the inner and outer branches that had been separated for three hundred years and completed the great cause that all previous sect leaders had not completed. He once ranked first on the Dragon Ranking when he was young. Can he be a hero?"
"Why should the merits of ten lives be attributed to one person? How can Kong Hua be called a hero when he was so ambitious and flirting with the generals of the court all day long?"
After the atmosphere was stirred up, everyone started talking freely and salivating. They became bolder and bolder, and their words became more and more bold. They often argued until their faces turned red and they almost rolled up their sleeves to do it.
At this moment, Du Ziteng, the young master of Blood Crow Castle, suddenly called Liu Mang's name: "This young hero of the Golden Tiger Gang, why do you only listen to what others say? You can also express your own opinion."
He looked at Liu Mang with a joking expression, obviously not thinking that this mud-legged man could say anything.
Hearing this, everyone else paid attention, some out of pure curiosity, some with a hint of ridicule, and some with unnecessary indifference.
Even Fang Qingtang also paid attention, obviously wanting to hear what Liu Mang had to say.
Liu Mang's thoughts changed rapidly and he said with a smile: "In my opinion, the leader of the Wanyue Merchant Guild can be called a hero."
"Why?" someone asked curiously.
Fang Qingtang looked stunned. She didn't expect the topic to turn to her father.
"Isn't it a hero to have raised a daughter with a keen eye and invited the future master to enter the Sword Viewing Tower?" Liu Mang said proudly.
"shameless!"
"Bloody words!"
"Bullshit!"
Many people cursed.
"Hahahaha, if you can become a grandmaster, I will... eat the table in front of you!" Du Ziteng sneered unceremoniously.
"This is what you said." Liu Mang looked at Du Ziteng seriously, "I have a good memory, and I will definitely come to you that day."
"Humph, the ignorant are fearless!" Du Ziteng didn't take it to heart at all.
Fang Qingtang looked at Liu Mang with a sweet smile. Although she was covered with a veil, her eyes were already bent into crescents.
Everyone continued to argue for a while, and then the heat gradually subsided.
After a moment, Zhang Xinye regained his dominant position. He raised his bowl and said to everyone: "I guess everyone is here for the Tianji Order this time. I got the exact news that the descendants of the Tianji Sect just appeared in Wucheng yesterday. It is very possible that
You will come to Jingcheng today and tomorrow!"
Zhou Lingyi asked at this time: "This Tianji Sect's dragon has always seen its head but not its tail, and it is also extremely mysterious to us. I just don't know if he will come to Guanjian Tower."
Zhang Xinye smiled and said: "Guanjian Tower contains the battle site of the Sword Saint and Demon Lord. In recent decades, descendants of the Tianji Sect have appeared here several times. If he didn't come here, we wouldn't have guessed where he would go. He would have been there.
luck."
When Liu Mang and others heard the exchange between the second generation, they realized that they were here for Lao Shizi's secret order.
Qi Quan had his head drooped all the time, but now he raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, and he was obviously very interested in this matter.
"But I don't know who the Heavenly Secret Order will be given to? Most of the people present are heroes from our southeastern martial arts world. I think he will be dazzled." One person said with emotion.
"Hmph, it's more likely that we won't give any of them. After all, there is only one piece of Tianji Token. Maybe people will look down on us and want to transfer to the Central Plains!" Another person said pessimistically.
"Brother Hu, why should the ambition of others destroy his own prestige? For example, Young Master Wang Yuanjian and Young Master Zhang Xinye are both on the Dragon and Tiger List. The heroes of our southeastern martial arts world may not be worse than those of the Central Plains!" The third person's opinion was unanimously recognized by everyone present.
.
"That's right, Mr. Wang killed the third master of the dark horse bandit, and Mr. Zhang defeated his brother from the same clan who had been on the Tiger List. They are the two most promising people among us!" Du Ziteng, the young master of Blood Crow Castle, flattered him.
But obviously his move was effective, as both Wang Yuanjian and Zhang Xinye showed friendly smiles to him.
"Master Fan from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is also a good person among men. He may not be hopeless!"
"Master Xu Ruofeng of the Lingxi Sword Sect is very secretive and far inferior to me. I think he is very likely to be favored by the Tianji Sect!"
Disciples from many aristocratic sects encouraged each other, making the scene feel like a vegetable market.
Liu Mang and the others were drinking and eating food at the door, listening to their bragging.
At this moment.
A hundred feet away from the Guanjian Tower, a figure suddenly appeared.
He seemed to be walking slowly but really quickly towards the Guanjian Tower. He seemed to only take a small step each time, but his body was able to move forward a large distance. I don't know what kind of magical footwork he used.
