The Qingshan Sect caravan set off, with twelve carriages led by some disciples. The escorts had their own methods. Most of them followed with swords. This speed did not consume much physical energy. Those who were a little lazy could ride horses, such as to Xiang.
There is a shortage of such people.
The three strong men in the team who were in the out-of-body stage were very cold. They came from three peaks. One person emerged from each peak, and then they were mixed in the team from front to back. The ones with their eyes closed and drooping did not speak much.
The role they play is to intimidate.
Xiang Que raised his fingers towards Zhang Hengheng, who leaned over and asked, "What's wrong, master?"
"Please introduce to me the composition of this group of escorts, their origins and relationships in the Qingshan Sect."
"The family at the top of the three peaks has a child who is in the out-of-body stage. You know the Dragon Aunt from Xitang Peak? The one from the east is named Xu Wei, the one from Qingfeng Peak is named Chai Jinshan, and the remaining ones Xuying and Wenshen are also from the three peaks.
Among them, Chai Jinshan’s group belongs to Chi Cheng’s group. Xitangfeng has a good relationship with the leader, but Qingshanfeng seems to be tepid towards everyone. No one knows what their stance is..."
Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be factions. This is no exception everywhere. There are more than ten thousand disciples of Qingshan Sect, and all three peaks are very powerful. In addition, there are also the leader and Qingshan Presbyterian Council.
Organizations, in terms of factions, can be roughly divided into three categories.
The first is the leader's faction. Xitang Feng has always advanced and retreated with Zhao Ping. The second is the Law Enforcement Hall. This is a force that is no less powerful than Zhao Ping. They can be almost equal. The main reason is that Chi
His grandfather Cheng was the leader, and the current Luzuo Chen Tingjun is the spokesperson of this lineage. The rest is to maintain a neutral attitude, such as Guan Shan of Qingshan Peak.
The same is true for the Qingshan Sect's Thirteen Elders Council. Each has its own support and stands in separate teams. Generally speaking, Qingshan is just these three related forces.
The bigger the sect, the less likely it is to have a single voice. In fact, this situation is very detrimental to the development of the sect. The reason is very simple. Only when there are disputes and conflicts will there be efforts to make progress. If this is all decided by one person,
, which may lead to a slack mentality over time.
However, this is the situation within Qingshan. If it is to the outside world, Qingshan will always only have one sword.
This has been the case for a long time. A fight can be fought within the sect as long as it does not harm the great interests. However, once it involves fighting outside, or there is an enemy invasion, the green mountain will always be the green mountain with a sword.
Xiang Que asked calmly: "Then which group do you think I should be in?"
Zhang Hengheng was stunned for a moment and said matter-of-factly: "Of course you are labeled as the leader."
Where does Xiang Que belong in the Qingshan Sect? In fact, most people are like Ming Jing in their hearts. Zhao Ping helped Xiang Que take the position of sword guard, so he must be Zhao Ping's person.
But in fact, in Xiang Que's mind, he positioned himself as follows: I don't belong to any faction, and what I might want is just for Qingshan's good.
There is no way to explain this problem. Once the label has been attached, it will be difficult to remove it.
Xiang Que smiled meaningfully and had no explanation for Zhang Hengheng's words. Even if it was an insignificant matter, no one might believe it if he explained it.
"What do you think Qingshan had in mind when he asked me to leave the water this time?" Xiang Que asked quietly.
Zhang Hengheng thought for a while and whispered cautiously: "Obviously, this trip to Lishui will definitely be a bit dangerous. Then you are responsible for escorting. If there is a problem of cargo being lost on the way, the Law Enforcement Hall and the Presbyterian Council will
This crime will definitely be held on you
On your head, there is even a possibility that some big bandit will rob you and finally kill you on the spot, but this possibility is not very high. Killing Qingshan's sword guard is a crime that no one dares to bear, because they
You must be prepared to bear Qingshan’s wrath.”
Xiang Que smiled. There was indeed such a critical issue behind this. The leader of the Jian Shou team had neglected his duties and would naturally be held accountable.
Many days later, Qingshan's team had left the Mashan City Cave Heaven and gradually penetrated into the deep areas of the Cave Heaven Paradise. There were also fewer and fewer people along the way.
From beginning to end, except for communicating with Zhang Hengheng and Yuan Jue, Xiang Que hardly spoke to anyone else.
At the same time, in a city two caves away from the Qingshan Sect's team, a huge caravan that was at least three times larger than Qingshan's caravan was also heading in the direction of Lishui.
In the middle of this team, there are goods and accompanying people at both ends. In the middle area is a black carriage pulled by four horses. This carriage is a bit ridiculously big. The entire carriage at the back is like a house, which is quite large.
It's eye-catching.
The carriage was covered so tightly that it was airtight. It was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside from the outside. Only when a breeze blew by, the curtains on the windows were blown up, and it seemed that there was a fragrant breeze blowing from inside.
Blow through.
After a while, a clear ringing of bells suddenly came from the carriage. Then a man on a horse in front of the carriage pulled the reins and paused for a moment. After the carriage passed by, the man looked at the window and lowered his head.
He asked loudly: "What are your orders?"
"Go and see where the Qingshan Sect's team is. If it's not far away, ask the swordsman to come over and meet me."
"Whoa!" The man immediately jumped out of the saddle and jumped directly into the distance. After the man disappeared, a voice slowly came over: "My subordinates take orders!"
The distance between the two caves is not too far. It will take about two or three hours to fly at full speed, which is enough to catch them.
When the sky was getting dark, a person from Changchun Trading Company had already appeared in front of Qingshan's team. This person asked directly in the direction of Qingshan if the Qingshan Sword Guard was there. Xiang Que knew that this was the person from Changchun Trading Company.
The landlady should not be far from him now.
Xiang Que told Zhang Hengheng and the others, and the team continued to move forward. They jumped on the Qingshan Sword, and then quietly disappeared with the other party.
After Xiang Que left, Yuan Jue asked in surprise: "Why did the master go there? Why do you always feel that he is so mysterious?"
Zhang Hengheng curled his lips and said: "When did he stop being mysterious? I got used to it later, do you still care about this?"
Yuan Jue's eyes suddenly drifted behind him, and he whispered: "Chai Jinshan has also left. Although he did not go in the direction of the master, it is obvious..."
