It turned out that the Master of the Sword Hall had exchanged a move with Luo Xiaoyao on the corridor. He knew that this palm technique was powerful. When he saw him attacking with his palm, he froze and did not dare to bully him. Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoyao just made a false move and took advantage of the situation.
He attacked his companion who was wielding the sword, but he grabbed the white blade with his bare hands and snatched the sword away.
Luo Xiaoyao now had a sword in his hand, which made him more powerful. He turned around and used the "Xingxu" sword technique, but he saw the sword light flashing and attacking the master of the sword wielding hall.
The master of the sword wielding hall was not Luo Xiaoyao's opponent. Seeing the sword energy attack, he hurriedly faced it with his sword, and at the same time retreated. When Luo Xiaoyao changed his moves to attack, he felt a strong energy coming from behind him, and the wind of his fist was blowing.
There was a whirring sound, and he turned around and struck with the "Tail Tiger Spreading Wings" move. There was only a "dang" sound, but the sword hit the person's wrist.
Luo Xiaoyao's heart was shaken. He suspected that the person coming had cultivated the power of indestructibility. He hurriedly retreated to the right and back. His body was fixed. When he raised his eyes, he could see clearly the face of the person coming. It was none other than Deacon Yan.
Deacon Yan has mastered the martial arts of the outsiders and has been immersed in it for many years. On the outside, he looks like he has returned to his true form, but he has entered the realm of Mingqiao Valley. He is good at fists and palms, but has not cultivated weapons. He is afraid that he will suffer a loss in a fight with someone who has weapons.
Therefore, he made a pair of fine steel wrists for close combat. Luo Xiaoyao turned around and struck a sword, but it hit the fine steel on his wrist.
Seeing Luo Xiaoyao retreating, Manager Yan stepped forward and used his own strength. Luo Xiaoyao saw that Luo Xiaoyao was coming with a punch. He was full of energy and powerful like thunder. He didn't dare to underestimate him and quickly used the move "High Dragon Bu Yu".
"Welcome.
"Dang" sounded, and sparks flashed. Deacon Yan put his right wrist against Luo Xiaoyao's sword blade, and punched Luo Xiaoyao's right armpit with his left fist. How could Luo Xiaoyao let him hit him? His left palm struck out diagonally, but it was Bai Rou's palm.
"Riding the wind and waves", he sheathed his sword and changed his moves at the same time. When his palms and fists collided, he took advantage of the momentum and took two steps back, widened the distance, and then launched several moves in a row. Deacon Yan saw the sword light flickering left and right, and the moves
The virtual and the real are combined, but they don't dare to attack hard. They avoid where the sword energy comes and use their moves to resolve it.
He has no weapons in his hands, but is good at fists and palms. He is best at close combat. Luo Xiaoyao's energy is half as good as Luo Xiaoyao's. Now that he has a sword in his hand and distances himself, he is better than Deacon Yan.
But Luo Xiaoyao was eager to get out of trouble, his mind was a little impatient, he changed his moves quickly, and the stamina of his sword moves was not fully utilized. This was due to his lack of experience in fighting the enemy.
He is good at attacking, and if he can use his remaining power to show his power, he will be even more powerful. His cultivation level is almost the same as that of Deacon Yan. If he calms down and uses all the power of his moves, he will definitely be able to force Deacon Yan within ten moves.
He retreated, but unfortunately he changed his moves too quickly, leading to a fight.
At this time, the female hall master who wielded the sword saw this and waited for an opportunity to attack. When Luo Xiaoyao changed her moves to attack Deacon Yan, she also used her moves to attack from the side, but Luo Xiaoyao was distracted from responding to the enemy and gradually fell behind.
Luo Xiaoyao knew that something was wrong, so he shouted and used the sword moves created by Chu Nanfeng, "Fog and Huaguang" and "Long Shadow and Dark Snow" in an instant, one after another.
On one side, one defends and the other attacks, guard Yan Deacon's fist, and attack the master of the sword wielding hall who is about to use his sword.
The female hall leader only heard a "chi" sound in the air, and a fierce sword energy stabbed her. She did not dare to raise her sword to meet it, and hurriedly dodged. Luo Xiaoyao had the opportunity to take advantage of it, and used a backhand move "Jade Frost Jingmei"
" He quickly stabbed Deacon Yan in the chest. Deacon Yan saw several sword rays coming towards him, but he didn't see the reality or reality, so he quickly dodged back.
Luo Xiaoyao saw the opportunity and jumped up to the left courtyard wall, but when he heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh", dozens of flying arrows were shot towards him. He sighed in his heart and had to turn back and fall into the courtyard. It turned out that three or four people had been shot outside the courtyard at some time.
Ten guards armed with bows and arrows surrounded him.
Deacon Yan and others, when Luo Xiaoyao fell into the courtyard, also rushed forward and surrounded him like horns. The three of them were about to attack when they heard a clear voice shouting "Stop". Deacon Yan and the other three paused when they heard the sound.
His body shape has not retreated.
At this time, the moon was rising to the west. I looked through the moonlight and saw a person standing in the corridor with hands behind her hands. She was wearing a jade crown and was dressed in white. It was the woman who looked like the leader of the Jade Alliance that I had seen just now when I looked out the window. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed when I thought of the scene just now.
hot.
But I heard the person who was called the princess say: "Who are you? Why are you wearing the clothes of the protector of this alliance?"
Luo Xiaoyao was in shock and doubt when he heard these words and guessed that the Jade Alliance Leader he saw during the day and the princess in front of him were the same person. He must have drawn the sword eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. He smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect it in his mind.
The figure of Xiao Muyun, a woman disguised as a man, flashed past.
With a sigh, he pulled off the mask. Leader Jade, Deacon Yan and others were all shocked when they saw this. They did not expect that this person with extraordinary skills could be such a young person.
When Leader Jade was in the hall, he naturally saw Luo Xiaoyao sitting behind Lin Yi, and asked in surprise: "Is it you?"
"My subordinate Luo Xiaoyao has met the leader of the alliance," he said at this time that his subordinate had some intentions.
"Subordinate? When did you join this alliance? What are your intentions in breaking into Tingtao Courtyard?" Leader Jade asked with a slight frown. She was also surprised at this time, thinking that Luo Xiaoyao had such skill, and she was in Xiaofeng Hall
How could the installed spy not be reported?
"I have a junior brother who joined Xiaofeng Hall more than a year ago and followed Hall Master Lin. More than ten days ago, my subordinate came to seek refuge. Unexpectedly, he met a man who claimed to be Mo Er at a ferry in Xiazhou.
The subordinate was unprepared and actually took away the sword passed down by his master and sneaked into the river to escape."
The reason why Luo Xiaoyao said he was a subordinate was so as not to implicate Shang You and Lin Yi. This was half true and half false. After hearing this, Leader Yu and others vaguely guessed who Mo Er was.
"My subordinate just happened to run into Junior Brother and Hall Master Lin, but he didn't tell Hall Master Lin about this because of his face. He happened to meet Mo Er at the banquet, but it was Hall Master Mo of Xingyu Hall..."
But I heard Alliance Leader Jade chuckle: "Because of face? Hehe, I think Mr. Luo found out that Mo Er was the Alliance's Hall Master Mo, so he pretended to join Hall Master Lin and wait for an opportunity to seize the sword?"
The leader of the Jade Alliance is so smart, so naturally he immediately heard that Luo Xiaoyao, who was not good at lying, had a flaw in his words, so he changed his title and called him Young Master.
Luo Xiaoyao's face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, it was late at night and no one could see clearly. Seeing that the lie was discovered by Alliance Leader Jade, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I admire you for your wisdom, Alliance Leader." At this time, he did not call himself a subordinate.
Hearing Luo Xiaoyao admit that he had defected under false pretenses, he guessed that what Luo Xiaoyao said was true. Thinking of his Taoist Alliance's purpose of stealing, robbing and defrauding, the leader of the Jade Alliance couldn't help but smile and said: "Master Luo said that the sword was passed down from the master's sect.
Is there any mark?"
"The sword was very cold when it was unsheathed. Under the scorching hot weather, it was still cold within three feet around it, and the sound of the sword being unsheathed was like a dragon's roar, hence the name."
Did you know that the leader of the Jade Alliance smiled and said: "The cold air is biting? Hall Master Mo also said the same thing in the hall, but the sound of a sword unsheathing is like a dragon's roar, and it is also recorded in the books and scriptures.
The leader will investigate tomorrow, what do you think Mr. Luo wants?"
Luo Xiaoyao didn't expect Yu Alliance Leader's statement, and he didn't know how to refute it for a moment. He saw the way she spoke during the day. The so-called meaning was that there was no need to talk about it. But now that he was in a tight siege, Yu Alliance Leader could be so generous, but
It was unexpected. He wanted to wait until Lin Yi came back before making a decision, so he cupped his hands and said: "Then thank the leader of the alliance for what I offended..."
Halfway through, he felt embarrassed and didn't say anything. He threw the sword back to the female hall master of Fengming Hall and turned to leave. Deacon Yan was about to stop her when he heard the leader of the Jade Alliance shout, "Back off."
Deacon Yan had no choice but to get out of the way. After Luo Xiaoyao left, Alliance Leader Jade turned to the female hall master who was wielding the sword and said: "Han Yue, you went out of the island overnight to find Hall Master Lin and ask what happened. I think this Young Master Luo must have said it."
Feixu, Mo Er? Hehe, Hall Master Mo’s bragging skills are not weak either.”
"Yes, Princess, but..."
Seeing that she was about to speak but hesitated, the leader of the Jade Alliance said: "But it doesn't matter."
"If things change outside..."
"Oh, don't worry about this. Several of the hall masters have families. We were able to subdue them with just two sacrifices back then. What's more... go ahead. They must all be in the guard camp at this time."
After Han Yue left, Leader Jade looked at Deacon Yan and said, "Deacon Yan, have you ever seen the origin of this young man's martial arts?"
"I never noticed that my subordinate punched him first on the courtyard wall. His palm force was soft at first and then hard, which also knocked the subordinate out of the courtyard. The sword moves that followed were strict and abrupt, and the subordinate couldn't see it.
Tell us his origins."
Leader Jade nodded slightly and said in deep thought: "Master Luo is so old and has developed such skills. His sect must not be simple, and he should not be offended easily. We will wait until a few worshippers arrive tomorrow, maybe we can get a glimpse of something...
…”
"Then are my subordinates going to surround the Suwei Building..."
"No need. I think Mr. Luo really came here for this sword. He has not taken back the sword and will not leave easily. And those allies don't know what is going on, or may cause trouble."
**
Luo Xiaoyao returned to the house in the forest, but there was no sign of Shang You. When he was surprised, he saw Shang You pushing the door open and walking in. He couldn't help but wonder: "Junior brother, you..."
"Follow me." Shang You whispered, thinking he was afraid that there were ears in the next door.
The two came to the edge of the east island again, and Shang You said, "Senior brother, does he know the true identity of this alliance leader?"
Luo Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment. He remembered hearing the name of the maid, nodded, and then shook his head and said: "Did Junior Brother also go to Tingtao Courtyard just now?"
Shang You was worried and followed Luo Xiaoyao. When Luo Xiaoyao was discovered, he also arrived at the back door of Tingtao Courtyard. When he saw Luo Xiaoyao being surrounded by Deacon Yan and the two hall masters, he wanted to show up.
It happened that the leader of the Jade Alliance came out and shouted, and hid behind the tree in the corner of the courtyard. When he saw the leader of the alliance letting Luo Xiaoyao leave, he felt confident. When he was about to leave, he heard Han Yue calling the leader of the alliance "the county."
"Lord", I was shocked, and I left after listening to the conversation between Leader Yu and others.
His martial arts skills are not weak, and thanks to the way of martial arts practiced by Deacon Yan, his agility in identifying breath and detecting breath is not strong, and he is more than twenty feet away, so he was not noticed. If it were a master of the spiritual realm who cultivated the way of spiritual consciousness,
I probably can't hide it either.
After Luo Xiaoyao listened to Shang You's story, he pondered: "Princess Jingnan... Leader of the Xingdao Alliance? From this point of view, this so-called selection of enshrinements is just a cover. Hall Master Lin and others may be in trouble. She will
If my cousin stays on the island, I'm afraid..."
Shang You nodded: "From what the princess said, it seems that Hall Master Lin will definitely return tomorrow. It's safe now, but I'm afraid something will change tomorrow. As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. It's better to leave now and do something else."
Intend?"
"I'm afraid she has her own plans in mind to allow me to leave Tingchao Courtyard. Besides, the skills of Hall Master Lin and others are controlled by others. You and I..."
Naturally, Shangyou heard the implication and asked, "What does senior brother mean?"
"She acts cautiously and will not offend easily without knowing our background. If Hall Master Lin and others have not returned before noon tomorrow, she will leave by then. What do you think?" Shang You pondered for a while and then nodded.
Should be good.
At three quarters in the morning, all the members of the halls woke up. After washing, they saw that the side door was closed. Everyone didn't care. They went to the east side of the island one after another, thinking they wanted to enjoy the morning light on the island. Shang You
He stopped Xu San who was about to go to the island, called him into the room, and said in a low voice: "The boat waiting in the lake at the entrance...should be three or four miles away, right?"
"Usually when the church leader comes to this island to do business, he will arrange for the brothers in the church to sail three miles away in case of emergency, but he has never stayed overnight on this island, and besides, the church leader has already left... I don't know if it is still possible at this time.
In the lake, what does Shang Protector mean? Could it be that the Protector saw something bad?" Xu San didn't know what he meant for a moment, and looked at Luo Xiaoyao and Shang You in surprise.
Naturally, Shang You would not tell him what happened last night, so he said: "The hall master has not returned home all night, and he feels uneasy. Brother Xu, you are very good at water. There is still mist at this time. Can you go to the south and swim into the lake to check it out?"
Wait, where are the ships?"
Seeing the serious faces of him and Luo Xiaoyao, Xu San was shocked and asked, "What happened?"
"Brother Xu, don't be nervous. It's just a precaution. If our brothers' boats are still there, we can ask them to move a mile or two east of here. There should be some fishing boats at this time. Even if our brothers' boats are not far away from the island,
It's far away and won't attract anyone's attention. If something happens, it's best to leave as soon as possible."
Looking at the expressions of Luo and Shang, Xu San thought for a moment, nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I obey."
Half an hour later, Xu San came back. He cupped his hands and smiled at Luo Xiaoyao and Shang You who were waiting in the room: "Fortunately, there are still two small boats three miles away in the lake. My subordinates have ordered them to move the boats."
To the east more than a hundred feet away."
Seeing that there were no water stains on his clothes, Luo Xiaoyao felt strange and asked, "Brother Xu, why are your clothes...?"
Xu San and Shang You looked at each other and smiled. Knowing that Luo Xiaoyao didn't know the nature of water, Xu San chuckled and said: "My subordinate smells of alcohol, so before going into the water, he took off his clothes and took the opportunity to wash himself, haha..."
It was June and it was not cold at all. Normal swimmers would take off their clothes before entering the water. Xu San hid his clothes in the crevices of the rocks on the edge of the island and put them on when he came back. Naturally, he would be dry.
Now that everything had been settled, Luo Xiaoyao and Shang You felt at ease, so they went to the east island with Xu San. They saw the lake was as clear as blue, the breeze was gentle, the morning sun had already appeared on the top of the mountain, and many water gulls were circling and flying.
Sometimes it flies close to the water, sometimes it sings, and a few small boats are slowly swaying more than a hundred feet away. The wild ducks and waterfowl on the water are not surprised, either diving and swimming with their heads and tails exposed, or spreading their wings and splashing in the water to play.
Luo Xiaoyao and the others found a stone island away from the crowd and sat down. Xu San pointed to the small boat in the lake not far away and said softly: "The people on the two small boats in front are the brothers of Tangkou. Don't look at the slow pace now."
If something unexpected happens later, if a resounding arrow is fired, it will fly towards you."
Looking at the gently rippling lake, Xu San sighed: "Hey, I just realized how pleasant this scenery is today. If nothing happens this time, I would like to find an island in this lake and bring the whole family...
hey-hey."
Luo Xiaoyao followed Chu Nanfeng and Weng Mu to travel around the world for a period of time, and they were knowledgeable and knew how difficult it was for Xu Sangang to make a living by licking blood, not to mention stealing. Yesterday in the meeting hall, I heard Xu Sangang add
I had a child, and seeing that Xu San looked nearly forty years old, I felt like giving up, probably because of the child.
Luo Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When the three of them were silent, they heard a voice coming from the island slope: "The hall master is back, brothers, please go back to the house to meet us."
Looking up, they saw that the person who summoned was none other than Protector Zhang. The three of them looked at each other, got up and returned to the house in the forest. They saw several hall masters standing under the forest, but the ancient hall master was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Yi saw Luo Xiaoyao and others arriving and said: "Brothers from this church are coming with me..."
Luo Xiaoyao and others looked at each other. As Lin Yi entered a room, Lin Yi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. He glanced at Luo Xiaoyao thoughtfully and said with a wry smile to everyone: "This time... something happened this time."
, the Xingdao Alliance will be disbanded from today."
Although Luo Xiaoyao and Shang You were slightly aware of it, they did not expect such a change. They and everyone were stunned for a while. Lin Yi sighed and told everyone the whole story.
Yesterday, several hall masters followed Geng and Tan to the land. They saw a group of more than a hundred officers and soldiers coming towards them, two or three of them were masters of the spiritual realm. Lin Yi and others felt bad.
They were about to prepare for a fight, but when they saw the leader bowing to Geng Chongfeng, everyone was even more shocked and confused.
Geng Chongfeng did not explain, but called the hall masters to move forward. The five hall masters did not know what was going on. Although they were unwilling, they did not dare to refuse. Halfway through, Tan Chongfeng led more than 20 people to escort the ancient hall.
The master went to get some silver, but Geng Gongfeng took several hall masters to an official camp in the city.
After leading everyone to the hall and taking their seats, Geng Gongfeng revealed the true identity of the leader of the Jade Alliance to everyone. Only then did they realize that the leader of the Jade Alliance was actually Gao Ruoyu, the princess of Jingnan Kingdom.
When all the hall leaders were frightened, Geng Chongfeng even said bluntly that from now on, the Xingdao Alliance would submit to the Jingnan Dynasty and would no longer be allowed to rob passing merchants. Everyone in the alliance would be recruited and returned to the guard camp. If there was any problem,
If you wish, you can leave at any time.
During the conversation, the family situation of each hall master was mentioned. The master of the Guizhou Branch of Xiaofeng Hall secretly took concubines and hid his concubine in another courtyard. No one knew about it, but Geng Congfeng could talk about it casually, and he kept it secret.
Threat.
All the hall leaders are careless. Although there is usually a Jade Alliance Leader above them, they rarely interfere with everyone's actions, and they can be regarded as free. Now the Jade Alliance Leader becomes a princess, and the rules of the gang are changed into laws. Most of them are unwilling to do so, but they can hear it.
Geng Gongfeng's words were threatening. The experts looked around, knowing that if he didn't respond, the whole family might suffer. After looking at each other in confusion, they all nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Tan Zongfeng and others returned with silver coins, but they did not see the ancient hall master. They thought that the ancient hall master had suffered an accident. Although Lin Yi and others fought among themselves privately, they could not help but feel sad that the rabbit had died and the fox had died, so they paid tribute to Geng.
When they inquired about the whereabouts of the ancient hall master, Geng Chongfeng did not hide anything, saying that the ancient hall master had been executed according to the law. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they did not expect that the alliance rules had suddenly turned into law.
In fact, Geng Chongfeng did not tell the truth. When the Nanping kings Gao Jixing and Gao Congjie and their sons were in power, they often robbed the tributes and property of various countries in the past. When countries asked for property, they relied on those who could do it.
It's a rogue way to fight if you can't stand it, and to fight back if you can't beat it.
Gao Congjie passed away four years ago and his son Gao Baorong succeeded to the throne. During this period, the country's power gradually weakened and he did not dare to openly seize the past properties of various countries. However, he secretly ordered his sister Gao Ruoyu to subdue the thieves in the world and secretly continued to rob tributes from various countries and even the property of merchants. To replenish the national treasury.
Last year, when Chu King Ma Xi'e was at war with the Southern Tang Dynasty, he sent envoys to the Later Zhou Dynasty to ask for help from the Later Zhou Dynasty, but they were robbed by the ancient hall master. The same is true for the tribute from the Southern Han Dynasty this year. The Later Zhou Dynasty was busy fighting the war with the Northern Han Dynasty. At that time, the future Zhou Dynasty asked for help. , after the country became somewhat stable, he sent an envoy to Jingnan a month ago to question the looting of tributes.
Nanping King Gao Baorong would not admit it. He only said that it was done by thieves in Jingnan. He asked for half a month in the next week, and he would do his best to catch the robbers and recover the stolen property. So Gao Ruoyu used his birthday banquet to , take down the ancient hall master and make him a scapegoat.
At this time, the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty was strong, and the Chu Kingdom was defeated by the Southern Tang Dynasty. King Nanping decided to regard the Central Plains Later Zhou Dynasty as the orthodoxy, and no longer plundered the properties of the Later Zhou Dynasty as tribute. The Xingdao Alliance had no meaning in existence, so he ordered the consolidation of these Jianghus. Thieves, in order to avoid causing extra trouble and getting into trouble. Geng Chongfeng himself did not know the reason, and Lin Yi and others were even more confused.
After hearing what Lin Yi said, everyone didn't know what to do. Xu San was stunned for a while, "Master, if your subordinates are unwilling to surrender..."
After Xu San asked, he saw a ridiculous look in Lin Yi's eyes, and immediately knew that his question was childish. He knew that it would be impossible to get out of the pirate ship easily, and he thought about getting into the pirate ship in the future. After leaving the official ranks, one might not know which day he would be reckoned with by the Queen of Autumn, but then there would be no way to escape, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Lin Yizi also saw the worry in his heart, sighed and said: "If it weren't for the troubled times, you brothers would probably not do this robbery. In the past few years, it was not easy to follow Lin licking the blood of the knife. After joining the Xingdao Alliance, although I still engaged in thieves, there was less fighting between gangs and I became a little more stable."
"But the relationship between this must be known to all the brothers. Now I submit to the court, Yu... Princess Gao also said that she will leave the blame. With her identity, she will not break her promise to everyone. Therefore, Yilin From what I have seen, becoming an officer and soldier should be a better way out. Brothers are not afraid of death. Maybe one day they will fight on the battlefield and achieve military exploits, which can give future generations a good reputation."
When everyone heard the words and looked at each other, they saw Deacon Yan coming to the door. Lin Yi had met Han Yue yesterday and knew about Luo Xiaoyao's night break into Tingtao Courtyard, so he guessed his intention, "Deacon Yan, I think it's to invite you." Is Mr. Luo here?"
Deacon Yan nodded, and left with Luo Xiaoyao under the puzzled eyes of everyone. Shang You was about to follow, but was stopped by Lin Yi, "Brother Shang can't do it, Mr. Luo can go alone. He has extraordinary skills, I want to It was Princess Gao who wanted to win over..."
Shang You was slightly startled. He thought about what he heard last night. After thinking for a moment, he nodded without saying a word and gave up the idea of following.
