Ye Erniang has already helped Yue Laosan away, but the group of people lying on the ground have not yet fully woken up. Xuwu is sitting cross-legged on a rock, closing his eyes and meditating.
Time passed slowly, and the sun gradually began to set towards the west. It was already past midnight, and only then did everyone on the ground wake up. They were trembling slightly, covering their ears with their hands, and shaking their dizzy heads, showing that they were still frightened.
"Lord," Zuo Zimu walked to the front and said respectfully.
Taking a deep breath and making a movement to collect his breath, Xianwu opened his eyes and said, "Are you all awake?"
"Yes, lord, everyone is awake," Zuo Zimu said.
"How are they doing?" Xuwu said.
"My lord, except for a few who were slightly injured due to their weak skills, everyone else is fine. Just adjust your inner breath and it will be fine," Zuo Zimu explained the situation in detail.
"Yes." He nodded, stood up, and looked around at everyone. It was just as Zuo Zimu said. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, it was mostly nothing serious.
His eyes suddenly turned and fell on the two of them, Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing, "Aren't you two leaving yet?"
Duan Yu's head was dizzy and the pain was so severe that he couldn't hear what he said clearly. He only saw his mouth moving, and then his ears started buzzing, which made him panic and thought he was deaf.
.
"Let's leave now," Mu Wan said coldly. Her breath was weak and she obviously hadn't fully adjusted yet. After saying this, she pulled Duan Yu and turned around to leave Fengtou.
Xuanwu and others stayed on top of the peak for about half an hour before a group of people slowly descended from the peak and walked towards the Jianhu Palace on the mountain.
Zuo Zimu was leading the way. He was in a very complicated mood at this time. Not long ago, there was a martial arts competition in Jianhu Palace, and he was immediately forced to use the secret passage passed down by the ancestor to escape.
It has only been a day now, and I am back on the road to return to Jianhu Palace. However, after returning this time, Wuliang Sword Sect is no longer Wuliang Sword Sect, and Jianhu Palace is no longer Jianhu Palace.
Everything has changed, and he has changed from the leader of a faction to a subordinate of others.
Things in the world change in the blink of an eye. Everything happens so fast that no one can react. It’s so fast that no one has to accept it.
"Lord, Jianhu Palace has arrived." In front of Jianhu Palace, Zuo Zimu turned around and said to nothing.
"Yes", Xu Wu nodded, took a step forward, and looked up at the palace, which occupies a large area. The palaces are undulating and built along the mountain. Pavilions, pavilions and pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner.
It looks very majestic and broad.
I had never looked at the Jianhu Palace carefully before, but now I stood in front of the palace and looked at it carefully. Only then did I realize how vast and majestic it was. I never thought that a small sect like the Wuliang Sword Sect could be so majestic.
In fact, Dali is located in the south of the sky. It is mostly mountainous and the terrain is uneven. Dali is a small country with few people, so a small sect like Wuliang Sword Sect was able to occupy such a huge mountaintop as Wuliang Mountain.
There are no jurisdictional restrictions here. Naturally, they can build whatever they want. That's why the Jianhu Palace is so majestic and magnificent. This also illustrates the Dali royal family's control over the rivers and lakes and its weakness.
In Jianhu Palace, in the Wuliang Hall, Xuan Wu sat upright on a large sandalwood chair in the middle. Below him stood two rows of people in an orderly manner. They were Zuo Zimu and some Dali heroes. As for the Wuliang Sword Sect,
The gatekeepers went outside to guard and rearrange things.
"How are the members of the Shennong Gang?" Xuwu asked Zuo Zimu who was standing below.
"Lord, I have asked their deputy gang leader to summon the members of the Shennong Gang, and now they are all gathered outside the main hall," Zuo Zimu said.
"How do you think these people should be dealt with?" Xuwu asked. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he had no understanding of the Jianghu forces in Dali. He had never had experience in managing a sect before, so he had no idea how to arrange the members of the Shennong Gang.
He had no idea how to solve the problem at the moment.
According to his idea, Sikong Xuan was dead, so he had to take over everything in the Shennong Gang, but he didn't know exactly how.
Below, Zuo Zimu stood respectfully. He was suddenly shocked when he heard Xianwu asking for his opinion. He slowly looked up and saw that his face was as normal and he was not joking.
Immediately surprised and delighted, he said: "My subordinates think that the Lord should send several senior figures from the Shennong Gang to lead a small group of gang members back to the Shennong Gang, and let them contribute all the rare and exotic medicines that the Shennong Gang has collected over the years.
And bring the remaining gang members together under the Lord's control."
He directly said that he wanted all the people from the Shennong Gang to come over. On the other hand, he confirmed that Jianhu Palace was the headquarters of Xianwu. In this way, as the original owner of Jianhu Palace, he naturally became the closest person to Xianwu.
of people.
"Xing Shuangqing, what do you think of what Zuo Zimu just said?" Xuwu looked at Xing Shuangqing and asked her opinion.
At this time, Xing Shuangqing was lowering his head, lips tightly pressed together, and a serious look on his face. When he heard Niang's question, she slowly said: "My subordinates think we should send someone to join the Shennong Gang.
Go and prevent them from any deception during this process, and ensure that the Shennong Gang completely submits to the Lord's rule."
"Yeah", Niuwu nodded, obviously agreeing with her point of view. It is true that the people of the Shennong Gang have only just subdued them, and there is no guarantee that they will not do anything to deceive them.
It is even possible that those high-level officials would flee with all the money and treasures of the Shennong Gang after they returned and never come back, so there must be someone to supervise them.
And the person who supervises must be someone who will not collude with the Shennong Gang. On the other hand, he must be someone whom Niwu trusts the most.
But who is the person who can be trusted? Xianwu looked at the group of people below. In his eyes, none of these people could be trusted. They were all forcibly conquered by himself, and none of them truly surrendered.
Under the vacant gaze, everyone standing below lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other, and felt as if needles were stabbing their backs, causing pain.
At this time, Zuo Zimu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I am willing to lead the disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect back together with the Shennong Gang members, supervise their every move, and never let them have different aspirations and betray my lord."
Zuo Zimu knew that this was the time when nothing was needed and anyone who could share his worries at this moment could become his confidant in the future. However, most of the Dali heroes here did not surrender wholeheartedly, so naturally they would not think of it.
You have to compete with yourself for future honor and favor.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it was time for him to step into the void and become the central figure. By the time others reacted, he would have already taken the lead.
Just when he was congratulating himself on his decision and boldness, he suddenly heard Xu Wu said: "Xing Shuangqing, since it is you who proposed to supervise the people in the Shennong Gang, then this matter will be left to you.
mistaken."
"It's my lord," Xing Shuangqing responded immediately.
Xuanyu nodded, "Then you go." He waved his hand and let Xing Shuangqing go down. He seemed to turn a blind eye to Zuo Zimu and did not comment on his initiative to ask for help.
After Xing Shuangqing withdrew, Wuwu did not continue to speak. Instead, he sat on a chair and began to lower his head and meditate. He remained motionless, and the people below did not dare to move. They were all waiting quietly.
After about two cups of tea, he slowly raised his head and looked at the group of Dali heroes. Each of these people stood upright, their breaths were calm, and they all looked dignified and stylish. They were all small.
The leader of a considerable force.
To be invited by the Wuliang Sword Sect as a witness and guest in the sect competition, his low position in the world is definitely similar to that of Zuo Zimu, and the power behind him is naturally no less than that of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
"What about you, are you also willing to lead all the property and people back to Wuliang Mountain like the Shennong Gang?" Xuwu said, his tone seemed to be discussing, but his sharp eyes told everyone below that this was
Order.
Those people looked at me one by one, big eyes at small eyes, and then they all bent down in unison and worshiped: "We are willing, and everything will be arranged by the Lord."
Seeing these people bending down and bowing respectfully, after a while, Xu Wu said: "Very good, remember, from now on you are no longer gang leaders, village leaders, or leaders, you are all under my command."
After a pause and looking at everyone, he continued: "I don't need you to bring everything to Wuliang Mountain like the Shennong Gang. I will let you go back to your respective places. You must give it as soon as possible."
I will transport all the property to Wuliang Mountain, leaving only part for turnover, and your family members and children will also come to Wuliang Mountain together, without any mistakes."
Everyone below was secretly happy when they heard that Xianwu said that they did not need to be relegated to Wuliang Mountain like the Shennong Gang. However, when they heard that all their belongings, family members and children would be sent to Wuliang Mountain, their hearts sank.
All their belongings were transferred to Wuliang Mountain, which greatly weakened their financial resources. Sending all their family members and children to Wuliang Mountain allowed them to take Wuliang Mountain as their main source from now on. It was also a kind of hostage in disguise, making them
Unable to resist.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, the situation was compelling. Wuwu was sitting on it and looking at everyone with sharp eyes. No one dared to show the slightest reluctance or dissatisfaction. Everyone has seen his cruelty and ruthlessness, and no one has ever seen it.
