Chapter 704 Choosing between loyalty and righteousness
Author: The distant clear sky
"Xuantian Sect!"
Hu Qianzhong was in a state of shock. Although he shouted loudly, he lacked basic psychological preparation for the Xuantian Sect coming to the stage in person to talk to him.
Considering the fact, in the territory of Zhengdao Jianghu, the people of Xuantian Sect have always kept a low profile. Hu Qianzhong did not expect that this group of people would really dare to show up openly like this.
Needless to say, he would definitely be in bad luck today, but on the other hand, if these people came so openly, their lives would definitely not be easy in the future.
So he couldn't figure out why these people paid such a high price just to care about how much limelight he had gained these days?
However, if you lose, you won't lose. Hu Qianzhong, as the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect, naturally couldn't give in. He immediately pulled out his sword and said proudly: "Huh, just in time. Today, the leader of the Japanese army will be responsible for the Xujiazhuang."
Those who died in vain demand justice!"
Hu Qianzhong gave this order, and the righteous knights around them showed their weapons one after another. The two sides faced off for a moment, and with loud shouts, the battle was about to break out.
People on both sides started training on the spot. Under Hu Qianzhong's command were disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, as well as scattered practitioners from Jianghu who had heard the news these days, totaling about fifty or sixty people.
As for the Xuantian Sect, except for Bai Yichen, the rest are all top-notch experts. However, the number of people is obviously weak. There are only about ten people. After all, they have to avoid the eyes of all parties and cannot bring too many people.
After the two sides fought together, the masters of the four sects of the Five Sacred Mountains joined forces to deal with the protector Bai Yichen, while the others held back these masters of the Xuantian Sect.
As soon as the battle started, the two sides were evenly matched, mainly because the personal combat power of Xuantian Sect disciples was generally higher than that of these righteous knights, so even though Hu Qianzhong and others had a numerical advantage, they failed to suppress the other side.
What's even more terrible is that Bai Yichen, the protector of the Xuantian Sect, dealt with Hu Qianzhong, Lu Wen, Du Cheng, and Liu Yi alone without any trouble at all, and even had the energy to taunt them.
"Hahaha, the Five Mountains Sword Sect is nothing more than that. How can you, a bunch of trash, have the guts to challenge this protector!"
Bai Yichen laughed loudly, and the iron whip in his hand became more and more fierce. However, although the moves were fierce, he did not use his strength in a fatal direction.
Thinking about it, he understood that although these rookies from the Five Mountains were not as good as him in martial arts, they all had extremely special identities. If Bai Yichen didn't want to create a bunch of enemies out of thin air, he would naturally not kill them.
How could a smart person like him bring trouble to himself just for a small amount of money? Let their saintly lady handle such offending things herself.
Moreover, Bai Yichen is not afraid of the opponent's comeback. You must know that there are two guardians sent by the Xuantian Sect this time. In addition to himself, there is also Li Yan who is ambushing in secret. This group of people has no chance at all.
But what Bai Yichen didn't know was that Li Yan, who was responsible for intercepting the retreat, had already quietly escaped. He was currently on another street with Cui Yixiao, deputy Qianhu of the Jin Yiwei.
This was a clever thing to say. Lu Hanjiang's first test failed, so he sent Cui Yixiao to pretend to hunt down the Beggar Clan disciples and secretly interrogate Li Yan and his daughter.
Who knew that Li Yan didn't play according to the routine at all. After the two met, Li Yan was extremely resistant and used a complete set of Panlong Spear Technique on the spot, almost carving the words "Ce Feng Survivor" on his forehead.
.
Cui Yixiao was also taken aback, and then he immediately realized something was wrong. The two of them chased each other, but Li Yan was not prepared at all, and was lured into an ambush by him, and then gave up with great cooperation.
resistance.
"I am the protector of the Xuantian Sect, and I would like to discuss a business deal with you."
Just such a sentence made Cui Yixiao and the other party appear in this place today.
Although the location of the two of them was a street away from the battlefield, they could just see a corner of the battle from this angle.
The two people who were working in secret just watched the fight between Xuantian Sect and Wuyue Sword Sect, and started another negotiation.
"Although Brother Li is not famous, but he can be responsible for such an important position, he must trust me very much." Cui Yixiao said calmly.
Li Yan took a deep look at Cui Yixiao, and then said: "Sure enough, Mr. Lu has already guessed that the leader is His Highness, right?"
"Brother Li is so frank, I feel a little at a loss as to what to do," Cui Yixiao dusted off his shoulders and said slowly, "Brother Li must have a military background to be appreciated by that man."
Li Yan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Now that I am no longer an official, there is no point in talking about the past. If you are willing to come here with honor, you must be willing to talk to me."
"That's all, since Brother Li doesn't want to say it, I won't force him."
Cui Yixiao looked at Bai Yichen who was suppressing Hu Qianzhong and others in the distance, and suddenly said: "Brother Li, you are also a sensible person. People in the world need a meeting gift to discuss business with Jin Yiwei. I don't know, brother."
, are you prepared?"
Li Yan followed Cui Yixiao's eyes and looked at the battle situation, and said calmly: "Whatever you like today, sir, just ask."
"Eh? Brother Li can be so generous?"
Cui Yixiao clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "In that case, let's keep this gift in mind for now. Let me hear what Brother Li wants first. Although Xuantian Sect is a Jianghu sect, with the existence of that person, naturally
It cannot be compared with ordinary sects. I dare to ask, what is there that your teacher cannot teach, why do you have to let me take the risk to cooperate with us?"
"Identity," Li Yan said every word: "An identity that can live openly and openly in the sun."
"Oh, so it's this."
Cui Yixiao seemed to suddenly realize that Mingren did not tell secret stories, and he did not believe that there was no one in Xuantian Sect who did not doubt and waver in the ambition of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Indeed, the blueprint for the crown prince's success is very good, but the embarrassing thing is that all these benefits are for the future. At this stage, the Xuantian Sect is just a gutter rat being chased away by the Jin Yiwei.
It's not surprising that Li Yan has such thoughts, but Cui Yixiao can't just trust him so carelessly.
He thought for a while and then asked: "I wonder what kind of identity you want, brother?"
"You can just whiten your body," Li Yan said calmly: "I have an old friend, and when my family fell into decline, I adopted her as my adopted daughter. Now I want to entrust her to the Jinyi Guards to keep her safe throughout her life."
Cui Yixiao nodded: "It's human nature. For Jin Yiwei, this matter is, well, just a piece of cake. But since it's business, I dare to ask, what kind of price can Brother Li give?"
Li Yan said without hesitation: "Whatever you want, sir, you might as well ask directly. If I can do it, I will never refuse."
Cui Yixiao looked at Li Yan, hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Brother Li's words are a bit too much. Brother Li is now in the position of protector, and he must be deeply trusted by that person. For the sake of friendship,
, how can you betray your old master’s loyalty?”
Li Yan said solemnly: "Your Majesty is right, His Highness has been kind to me, but I have repaid this kindness through many decades of swords and fire. Now it is time to think about my children. These older generation's
There is no grudge, why bother involving her."
"Brother Li is very righteous."
Although Cui Yixiao said this, he quite disagreed with it in his heart. The entrustment of the old friend was righteousness, so if the old master knew that he was in trouble, it was not righteousness. The word righteousness does not matter in big or small. This person said it in a high-sounding way, but it was just an excuse.
But now the other party is actively planning to come to his door. Regardless of whether it is a trap or not, Cui Yixiao has no intention of missing it.
So after careful consideration, he said: "Okay, then I won't be polite to Brother Li anymore. That Protector Bai - well, I don't like it. Why don't I just use his head as a token of my brother's sincerity?"
