Chapter 129 Ten thousand grievances belong to celebrities
It was not half past the next day, under the dazzling sky, two green flags were flying on the top of a pole about two feet high. A majestic lion with teeth and claws embroidered on it was embroidered with yellow silk. The flags were fluttering in the wind, and the lion was flying.
It's even more lifelike.
When the bustling crowd in Fuzhou City passed by Ximen Street, they were surprised to find that the door of Fuwei Escort Agency, which had been closed for a long time, was quietly opening with a creaking sound.
Inside the gate, Lin Zhennan was sitting in the courtyard with five bodyguards, each of whom was fully dressed and holding his breath. Only the chief bodyguard was still wearing a Confucian businessman's green scarf, but he had given special instructions not to allow the rest of the house to wait.
Wandering in the front yard.
Just like an appointment had been made, not long after the door of Fuwei Escort Bureau reopened, the lively sound of gongs and drums could be heard in the distance on Ximen Street. They were walking along the street in a grand manner, and a team could be vaguely seen holding their heads high.
Chest, and went to Fuwei Escort Agency with a high spirits.
Captain Shi and Captain Zheng looked at each other, and unconsciously tightened their fingers on the waistrest. The already tight joints gradually turned white, and then they looked into the distance again.
The team beating gongs and drums seemed slow, but the moving speed was not sluggish at all. They quickly arrived in front of them. The person at the head strode across the threshold without reporting, and ordered his men to tie up their horses and unload the carts. They were covered tightly with bright red silk
The cloth plaque entered the yard.
"Brother Zhennan, you really want to hurt me after not seeing you for a long time!"
Captain Shi has been curious for a long time. He has always wanted to see what kind of luxurious person will lead the team first, who can make the commander uneasy when he sees the letter.
But what disappointed him was that the person who entered the door looked handsome, spoke elegantly, was elegant in his movements, and was suave. Although he called Lin Zhennan a wise brother, he actually looked more than ten years younger than Lin Zhennan. If it weren't for the smile around his eyes
The fine lines I have when I was young don’t look like those of a middle-aged person at all.
"Xiangong Tian! Lin has been fascinated by it for a long time. He just wishes he couldn't talk about his true love, so he can't sleep day and night!"
The two of them held their arms and shoulders in a numb and intimate manner, and slowly walked toward the lobby, pushing each other forward, like old friends who had seen each other frequently, without any smoke.
The bearded Captain Zheng was ready to draw his sword, but when he saw this scene, he was dumbfounded and quietly patted Captain Shi on the back.
"Old Shi, is it possible that the chief escort has welcomed the wrong person? Could it be that the uninvited guest is upset and didn't come today?"
With a smile on his face, Captain Shi bowed his hands in salute to his martial arts comrades who had entered the door together, and instantly transformed into a welcoming pine tree. He took the time to speak to the dumbfounded Captain Zheng.
"Laugh with me, don't think nonsense... Think about it, when Director Jiang came here a few days ago, was the chief escort so disgusting?"
Lin Zhennan walked to the hall and invited the other party to the honored guest's seat. He sweated a lot and secretly sighed that this person was actually here.
Tian Guinong, the head of the North Sect of Tianlongmen, is known as "Tian Xianggong" because of his handsome appearance, and his superb swordsmanship inherited from his family. In recent years, he has become prosperous in the world.
, I met Lin Zhennan once in Jiangyin a year ago.
But these are not important. What is important is that the Northern Sect of Tianlongmen has been outside the pass for a long time, and it has not been established for a long time, but it has a close relationship with the Jianzhou people who are also outside the Longxing Pass. Today, he happened to be meeting the fierce dragon crossing the river, so he must have
Those who come are not good.
"Brother Zhennan, I traveled thousands of miles to send you this plaque this time, just to add some color to your Fuwei Escort Agency, but I didn't bring any other gifts. Don't think it's too shabby for me!"
Tian Guinong smiled very kindly, holding Lin Zhennan's hand reluctantly, and looked around the lobby, "The main office is beautiful, it shows that the business of your escort agency is getting more and more prosperous!"
Lin Zhennan waved his hands in panic, seemingly at a loss.
"Thank you Brother Tian for your kindness. Fuwei Escort Agency is just a small business. Thanks to the support of brothers from all over the world, it can survive. How can I be called the leader? In terms of martial arts, qualifications, foundation, and connections, I, Lin Zhennan, am no better than Yingying.
How dare the light of fire compete with the bright moon?!"
After hearing Lin Zhennan's refusal, Tian Guinong suppressed the smile on his face and patted the other party's arm consolingly.
"My dear brother, why should you be too modest? The Fuwei Escort Agency covers Hujiang and Guangxi, and the escort flag is infallible wherever it goes. You are also fair and upright, and you will submit to all decisions, big or small. If you don't serve as the leader of the alliance, why should the traitors from Southern Shaolin
Did the thief take it?"
As soon as the word "traitor" came out, something jumped out on the page.
When Tian Guinong said this, he looked at Lin Zhennan encouragingly, "This is also the high hope of the imperial court. It is unprecedented. Brother Zhennan, please don't miss this opportunity!"
As Tian Guinong's men suddenly opened the horizontal plaque, it turned out to be "a piece of jade with gold characters in black lacquer". There was no frame decoration. It was only black lacquer as the base, with gold characters and six words "General Leader of Nanlvlin" written grandly.
Li character, silkworm head and swallow tail, majestic and unrestrained!
Lin Zhennan quickly kept silent, because he had already seen that the seal on the horizontal plaque turned out to be Shunzhi's private seal - at this time, if he said something wrong and was used to make an issue, it would be easy for him to be charged with contempt.
I couldn’t eat and walked around.
Lin Zhennan was not expecting the opponent to throw out such a powerful move.
Originally, Lin Zhennan thought it was a gangster act. Everyone proclaimed himself the leader of the martial arts alliance and the leader of the green forest. It was not a big deal at all. As long as he refused, no one could do anything to him.
But if it were replaced by an imperial title from the Qing court, even if it was a decree without the approval of the cabinet, it would be an extremely dangerous signal. As the saying goes, no reward will be given for no merit. The hat given by the other party is so high. If you are not strong-minded enough, you may lose two
They landed together.
"This this……"
Lin Zhennan's mind was spinning. He pretended to be speechless and looked at Tian Guinong for a long time.
"The Emperor loves you so much. How can Lin be so virtuous? I only regret that the Fuwei Escort Agency has not yet done its due diligence. I have to report my death in order to express my feelings in case of emergency!"
Then the conversation changed again, and his voice gradually became more and more passionate, "I am really ashamed to receive this royal plaque today. I will keep it in my house and think about it day and night. I hope to serve the imperial court with this ambition! If my wish is not fulfilled, I will never steal the high name.
So as not to insult the emperor’s high hopes!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The words were so impassioned that the martial arts people in the lobby nodded their heads and cast admiring glances at Lin Zhennan, which also made Tian Guinong Tianran.
The smile froze for a few seconds.
Lin Zhennan's words were very beautiful, but they clearly expressed two meanings.
First, I keep this sign high and offer it as a tribute. Whatever the court says, I don’t dare to say more.
Secondly, I am not worthy to be the leader of this alliance. I will be the leader when I am qualified. As for when I am qualified, I have the final say.
The interesting thing about this approach is that Jianghu has always been a self-contained place, and it is difficult for the emperor to speak. Not to mention the emperor's decree, even if the king of heaven and Brigadier Chen come up, everyone will not accept it.
The Qing court hoped to kill Lin Zhennan, but people in the world may not necessarily recognize this name - otherwise, the emperor would ask a master to be the leader of Wudang. Let's try it as the abbot of Shaolin. See if this person can step into the mountain gate?
Therefore, Lin Zhennan's words calmed down the martial arts people who were a little jealous at first. It is up to everyone to decide who the real leader of the alliance is. Isn't it just a brand? Taking it home is a crime of beheading, so let Fu
Let Wei Escort keep it for yourself.
Tian Guinong was also a wonderful man. He suddenly raised his hands in shame and said, "Brother Lin Xian is so far-sighted! The Holy Lord awarded the plaque to Brother Yu. I was very proud of myself for a few days, but it was just a blind eye and made the world smile..."
Lin Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tian Guinong in surprise, "Brother Tian, why do you have to be so modest? Brother Tian must be..."
"It's embarrassing to say that the imperial court issued four plaques, respectively naming the leaders of the four Green Forest Alliances in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Brother Yu is ashamed to be the leader of the North Alliance."
Tian Guinong said slowly, "The Holy Spirit also decreed that the four sects in the southeast, northwest and northwest, together known as the eight most famous sects in the world, will officially issue the edict during the Mid-Autumn Festival today. We sincerely invite the world's heroes to gather in the capital to be enthroned!"
Lin Zhennan was extremely shocked after hearing this.
This trick played by the Qing court was much more clever than that of the San Francisco dynasty in recruiting martial arts people. Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. By using the method of imperial enfeoffment and imperial gifts to encompass the martial arts, it is easy to distinguish Zhengshuo. Once
If someone defected to San Francisco, all he had to do was open his mouth, and countless martial arts factions would naturally rush to pull him down.
This is not a question of whether the people in the world recognize it or not, but a business of killing people by order and receiving imperial gifts. It is reasonable and reasonable for the yamen to fight against each other. There are more or less conflicts of interest among the sects in the world. Taking this opportunity to divide and disintegrate, it is simply not too much.
easy.
Let’s not talk about the distance, just talk about the Southern Shaolin, which used to be on par with the Songshan Shaolin. After being labeled as a rebel a few months ago, it can only live with its tail between its legs. It no longer has the heroic spirit of the tiger in the southeast.
"Ms. Tian, I wonder who owns the other plaques?"
Tian Guinong took a sip of tea, raised his hands and said solemnly.
"According to the wishes of the current Holy Lord, you and I are fortunate to always belong to the north and south of the Green Forest. The leader of the West Road Alliance has other arrangements, and I don't know about it."
"This leader of the Green Forest East Road Alliance was originally going to be given to the powerful Wang Lao Wang of Heshuo, but the old hero was old and did not want to get involved in Jianghu affairs, so he gave it to his disciple, Shang Jianming of Shangdong Fort.
This person’s Bagua Sword Palm is extremely powerful, and he is truly worthy of his reputation!”
"As for the four major sects in the southeast, northwest and northwest, Shaolin is in the north, Wudang is in the south, Emei Sect is in the west, and Taiji Sect is in the east. The four sects have long been settled, but there is no need to guess."
Lin Zhennan nodded quickly and called the emperor a sage. He was indeed very wise, but in his heart he wanted to turn the table over.
This arrangement is too sinister.
Among the four major sects, Wudang and Shang Kexi are now in cahoots, Emei is also closely related to Wu Sangui, and Northern Shaolin and Taiji Sect are doing dirty tricks all day long. The Qing government obviously wants to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger.
If any of them dares to cause trouble, they will burn down Southern Shaolin again.
Among the four leaders of the Green Forest Alliance, the powerful Wang Laoying founded the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau in Heshuo, and his two sons served as military attachés in the Qing court.
Canonizing his disciple is equivalent to canonizing him and the Bagua Sect, and also conveniently secretly provokes a fight between the Bagua Sect and the Tai Chi Sect.
Are these eight famous families on the list?
The ones on the hit list are pretty much the same.
Fuwei Escort Agency has been included in this assassination list. From now on, it can only feel like a thorn in the back. Either it will work conscientiously like Tian Guinong, or it will tremble and hope that the knife will not be swung at them!
The two of them flattered the court a few more times without smiling, and then Lin Zhennan suddenly remembered the people in the audience and hurriedly said to Tian Guinong.
"Ms. Tian, Mr. Lin was negligent and forgot to ask the names of the heroes!"
Tian Guinong smiled faintly and pointed at several martial arts people who came with him.
"These are all friends who were traveling together on the road. The first person is Xiong Yuanxian, the "Hundred-Armed Man Bear" from the Pingtong Escort Agency, and the next one is Tao Baisui, the "Sick Beard" from the Yinma Escort Agency. They are all the same.
A martial arts hero is here to pay you a special visit today."
The two of them met Lin Zhennan respectively, but their expressions were particularly unruly and seemed to mean something profound.
"Another one is Ma Xingkong from the Pegasus Escort Agency. He is nicknamed the 'Yum Fist' in the world. He shocked the North with his punches. He is also a famous name that I have admired you for a long time."
I have never heard of the first two escort chiefs, Lin Zhennan. I guess they are just one of the escort agencies under Tianlongmen. The Pegasus Escort Agency is different from the previous two. As a standard agency, it has long been famous in Heluo. It has been passed down from father to son for several generations.
He is a master of boxing.
Lin Zhennan quickly raised his hands and saluted.
"Boss Mr. Ma, I'm glad to meet you! This visit is really wonderful. You must stay for a few more days and let Mr. Lin express your feelings!"
Tian Guinong smiled and waved his hand.
"My dear brother, there is no need to be polite. This time I am sending a plaque to my brother. This is the second priority. I just want to remind you that fighting for fame and fortune is always dangerous. Now that the royal plaque is in my house, be sure not to make any mistakes, otherwise the Mid-Autumn Festival Conference will suffer.
!”
Lin Zhennan nodded repeatedly.
"It's exactly what Mr. Tian said! I will definitely send more people to guard it day and night, and never let the thieves take advantage of it!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tian Guinong smiled lightly and continued.
"The imperial envoy gave instructions when he came. The thieves are in the dark and we are in the light. The day and night defenses are always lax. You must choose a master leader in the door so that you can sit back and relax. My subordinates have low martial arts skills. Since I have come today
, but he does not hesitate to use his strength, and is willing to compete with the martial arts in the house to choose the real master!"
Tian Guinong finally saw it, with a hint of pride in his smile, "This is also what the Holy Father has commanded, don't blame me for being troublesome!"
Lin Zhennan also smiled, but the hand holding the cup unconsciously tightened a little.
Fuwei Escort Agency is now trapped in the house and cannot go out. It has been suppressed to the limit by the Qing court. Then it was immediately promoted to the extreme by a plaque. It is tantamount to giving the medicine of tiger and wolf to a seriously ill and dying person, and he will be restored to his glory.
There is only one way to die.
Instead of believing that the other party had no ill intentions, Lin Zhennan would rather write his name backwards.
What does selecting a master mean? This is clearly to find out the true and false status of the Fuwei Escort Agency and to suppress the momentum of the Escort Agency!
In this contest, if you win, you will lose your troops and generals, and you will hurt your foundation. If you lose, it will shake people's hearts even more. Maybe the gold-lettered signboard that Lin Zhennan worked so hard to build will be destroyed at this opportunity.
But it happened that the other party had a sacred mandate. Tian Guinong had just tricked him into saying words of gratitude for surrendering. At this time, he could not turn a blind eye. The Qing court said that he needed to be protected by a master, and he had to complete the order even if he risked his fortune.
"Boss Mr. Xiong and Mr. Tao, both of you, are quite knowledgeable. I wonder whose disciple would be willing to offer some advice to Brother Lin Xian today?"
Tian Guinong said without hesitation. In the team that came to deliver the plaque, many people who were eager to give it a try were already looking at him. There were even a few particularly young men and women who wanted to step forward with happy expressions.
Tian Guinong expected that none of the Fuwei Escort Company, from the chief escort to the subordinates, were good at martial arts. Lin Zhennan had to find a way to deal with someone who came to his door.
You will fall into a trap at every turn. This is a conspiracy that cannot be escaped.
Lin Zhennan slowly exhaled helplessly and said while turning back.
"Among the escort leaders, if any of you are willing to volunteer, why not take a step forward?"
As soon as these words came out, the four escort chiefs Zheng Cui Jidi all had firm eyes and awe-inspiring momentum. They took a step back without hesitation, leaving the escort chief Shi alone at the front.
