After Wu Shayu was dragged out, the outcome of the last battlefield was clear, and the sword fight completely subsided.
After a while, Tang Zhao came back with Xing Cang's head, which was an announcement that the sword fighting and longevity society's conspiracy had been officially defeated.
Of the three culprits, Tang Zhao killed two of them, and the eldest young master of Changfa Manor captured one. The rest were just a few minions. They saw that the great sage's head seemed to have collapsed and he fell to his knees, not even having the strength to surrender.
Occasionally, if someone wants to run away, just catching and sweeping them is enough. Even if there are important people who have slipped through the net, they may have disguised themselves as minor figures and infiltrated the group of survivors. We don’t know who they are now, and naturally they cannot be caught, so there is no need to mention that.
Now, all that's left is to clean up the mess.
Wu Shayu was tied up and stuffed into a jar similar to a prison. He was collected by Jinwu and temporarily imprisoned as a trophy.
The original swordsmen of Sunset Manor were hesitant to speak. Xingqing, Wu Shayu's closest confidant, seemed to want to ask for mercy, but Jinwu stopped him first. Coupled with the persuasion of his former colleagues, he finally did not say anything.
The remaining people, including the surviving swordsmen and sword slaves, were all bombarded to the ruins of the stand to dig out the remains and survivors. Although this work is dirty and tiring, the swordsmen of the Sunset Manor can't say anything - as losers, especially after they have just fought with the victor before, and now they have not been beaten or killed, what's wrong with letting them do some work?
The original swordsmen of Changfa Manor went to gather the manor owners who had managed to escape, awakened those who had fainted, comforted those who were frightened, found them hiding in nooks and crannies, and finally placed them all temporarily in the guest rooms of the manor. Take a break.
Some people wanted to leave at this time, but Sunset Manor detained them all on the grounds that the Yuanshi still wanted to interrogate the longevity association.
This mess was cleaned up until night. Not to mention, some survivors were actually dug out. They were all young and powerful swordsmen at the time. But when they went in, they were high-spirited young people, and when they came out, they were old men and women in their dying years, and from the inside out. I am so weak that I don’t know if I can recover.
There are only a few lucky ones who are so weak. Most of them are not only lifeless, but also not very beautiful in appearance. It is difficult to distinguish their original identities. They can only guess from their clothes and accessories. Tang Zhao suggested that each remains be put into a jar and numbered, corresponding to the relics one by one, so that there would be a chance that the remains would be claimed by the family members.
The work continued until late at night. The swordsmen of Sunset Manor had not finished their work yet and were working overtime to finish the work. Others left the scene.
Jinwu called together the most respectable survivors, served them with wine, food and hot soup, and reviewed today's events.
Taken together, everyone felt that they were at a huge loss.
Needless to say, Yuanshi, because now Yinglang is still blocked and no one can escape, so the Yuanshi who escaped before was found. After counting Xinying and Manying, there are seven left. If we include missing people The floating shadow that exploded and was waiting to be reborn from the shadow pool, as well as the other Abyssal Envoys who had not come, could not make up a dozen in total.
Tang Zhao naturally knew that Pan Ying would never come back, and Yuan Shi who was staying in Ying Lang was also in bad luck. Even if most of the most important force of Ji Liang had been lost, he secretly praised Gui Rong.
What a good guy, he can take the blame and weed the grass at the same time, and the last one is really powerful.
Not to mention the manor owner, the one who died the most miserably was the manor owner. Now there are no more than ten manor owners who can sit down to participate in the summary meeting, not counting the insiders like the rice pounder who were transferred on the Yinglang Bridge. If you include those lying on the bed, there are barely twenty people. What's more, even the most intact ones have had their lifespan taken away from them. At first glance, they all look like old men and old ladies.
It is worth mentioning that the two village heads of Changyi Manor, Tu Fei and Jin Jiu, were busy as masters of ceremonies and had to mediate disputes between the two parties. They did not sit in the stands at all. Instead, they were preserved and their life span was not absorbed. The lucky one among the lucky ones.
Also present were the surviving distinguished guests, and there were about ten people. These people had different identities. Some were just slave traders running errands. After this incident, they were confused and shaken like chaff. Some were like Scholar Liu, who had an extraordinary status and was frightened. What's more, he is angry. His face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and he just wants to show off his power and uproot the damn Gangliang Mountain.
The only one who won a big victory was Changfa Manor.
Xing Cang is not a familiar face to the public. When Tang Zhao showed his head, he did not mention his identity at all. He only showed his dress to everyone. No one could have imagined that Xing Cang's true identity was actually the manager of a mere manor, and no one knew it. No one suspected Jinwu about his relationship with Changfa Manor. Therefore, Changfa Manor was able to stay out of the matter.
"Everyone can speak freely if they have any ideas." Jinwu showed his respect to the eldest young master and the host, and said first: "Let me say it first, although the conspiracy in Sunset Manor is abominable, our sword fight is fair, and the result is that we win From now on, I am the owner of the second-level manor. Does anyone object?"
Everyone was silent, how could they object to this? Not to mention the fact that Changfa Manor won is beyond doubt. Even if some people doubt it, isn't Tang Zhao still sitting on it?
That swordsman is stronger than Gui Rong!
Yuanshi is stronger than the manor owner, Guirong is stronger than Yuanshi, and Tang Zhao is stronger than Guirong. So Tang Zhao is the strongest. Does anyone object to this equation?
In fact, some people are unhappy, and it's not to support Sunset Manor. On the contrary, they hate Sunset Manor so much, and they take the opportunity to express their anger at the seemingly innocent Changfa Manor - you two manors are fighting swords, one of them hurts everyone, and the other makes money. The pots are full, are they from the same group?
Even if we are not in the same group, everyone has suffered such a big loss, don’t you have no responsibility?
Now that we are the owners of the manor, no one is a reasonable person.
But, again, wasn't Tang Zhao on top?
So everyone shut up.
It doesn’t matter whether you are convinced or not, just take it orally.
At this time, Manying sent a message to Xinying: "Go and make the final decision."
The shadow in the heart wondered: "What to decide?"
Man Ying sighed and said loudly: "That's it! We are above, witnessed by heaven and earth. We hereby announce that the sword fight between Sunset Manor and Changfa Manor has been decided - Changfa Manor wins!"
Tang Zhao took the lead in applauding, and everyone followed up with applause.
Man Ying said to Jinwu: "Congratulations, Master Jian. From now on, you will be the second-level master of the manor. Are you still called Sunset Manor?"
Jinwu immediately said: "Of course not. How could I be called such an unlucky name? My name is... Shengri... Yaori... I'll think about it again."
Man Ying didn't care what Sunset Manor was renamed, she was just concerned about another matter, and said: "Wu Shayu was captured by you? Leave it to us, we want to interrogate him."
At this statement, the remaining Yuanshi nodded at the same time.
Jinwu frowned and said, "Wu Shayu? I want to be interrogated too. I still don't know how he plotted against me?"
Several Yuan Envoys were very dissatisfied. Not to mention several Yuan Envoys making requests at the same time, usually one Yuan Envoy gave the order, and even a first-level manor owner could not refuse.
But...Tang Zhao...forget it, let's not talk about it.
Man Ying said calmly: "You are here to interrogate his conspiracy, but we have to ask how he intercepted Yinglang. I originally thought that after killing Guirong and the leader, Yinglang would be able to resume communication, but it still doesn't work now. We must ask why, otherwise we won’t be able to go back.”
If the Yuanshi cannot return to Yingze, he will not be able to replenish his strength, and the consequences will be dire.
Of course Yuanshi can also choose to "die and go back", but no one wants to do this unless it is a last resort. Especially if the shadow is broken, what if I die and never live again?
Jinwu thought to himself: If you ask that guy, you won't be able to figure it out. It should be Ah Zhao who did it. Things are changing at the foot of the mountain now. Don't even think about going back until things are over.
It had a mental exchange with Tang Zhao and said, "Okay, let's interrogate it together."
Although the envoys of the Abyss were dissatisfied, they could only do this.
Jinwu asked the manor owners again: "What about you?"
Master Fuhu was the first to jump up and said: "I want to go back! Send me back quickly by Yinglang Bridge! I have something urgent at home, so I can't delay it!" All the manor owners nodded, they didn't want to stay here even if there was no emergency. Sorry, I just want to rest and recuperate after being so stimulated.
At this time, a distinguished guest from outside the mountain said loudly: "I want to go back too. I want to go back to the Central Plains. If I don't come back, you will lose sight of the two mountains!"
This sentence immediately attracted the response of almost all the visitors from outside the mountain, shouting: "That's right, send us out of the mountain, we want to go home!"
"What bullshit? Don't stay here anymore!"
"Still standing? This time I lost half my life, and a few lives next time won't be enough to compensate! Money, possessions, and life are all gone. I won't participate in the Deep Shadow Society."
"Returning to the Deep Shadow Society? Even dogs won't participate!"
These voices were messy, and they were basically all rude to Meng Liangshan, and some were almost yelling.
Some of the manor owners present were dissatisfied and glared at them, but no one refuted them for a while. Rather than supporting the collective sense of honor of Zongliang Mountain, those people wanted to use group pressure to get the new "Sun" owner to send them off the mountain.
The Yuan envoys don't care much. Unless they scold Wang Liang, they have no obligation to safeguard the honor of Wang Liang Mountain. Xin Ying shook his head when he heard this. The excitement of this group of people was quite interesting to him.
As for the Golden Crow, it didn't care anymore. It pressed down with its hand and said, "Everyone, I also want to send you down as soon as possible. But I just asked, there is no Yinglang Bridge in Sunset Manor."
Lord Fuhu asked anxiously: "How come there isn't? Didn't you send an envoy to Yuan..."
He paused and suddenly remembered that Sunset Manor did not enshrine Yuanshi. Moreover, the old guy Wu Shayu doesn't live and enjoy himself in Yulang City like other manor owners. Instead, he hides in Jiliang Mountain and hardly leaves home, so naturally he doesn't need the Yinglang Bridge.
Such a eccentric old thing really has something in his heart.
Manying also said: "Now that Yinglang is disconnected, even if you have Yinglang Bridge, you can't walk. Please be patient and don't be impatient."
Jinwu and Tang Zhao had discussed the plan a long time ago. Big things were happening at the foot of the mountain, and they would not let these people go down the mountain easily. They immediately said: "There used to be a few strongmen in Sunset Manor to give away, but today all the strongmen just died. As for the carriages and horses, we do have them here, but not many. We can only send you down one by one. And the distance from here to Yulang City is not short. You have worked hard today, and you will be tired if you continue the journey. Let's do this - —”
He said to everyone: "It's too late today. Please rest on the mountain for the night. I will send people down the mountain tomorrow morning to hire carriages and horses in Yulang City. Bring back as many carriages as possible and try to send everyone down the mountain at once."
"Of course, this trip will take about two or three days, so you can live peacefully on the mountain. Sunset Manor still has some reserves, and I guarantee that you will feel at home."
"Oh, by the way, the Deep Shadow Party was originally scheduled for two days later. But I think it probably won't be possible. While everyone else is here, we will hold a small Deep Shadow Party in Zhuangzi tomorrow. .Although we don’t bring any cash, we are all people who can make the decisions and have a good reputation. We might as well negotiate the business on paper first, and then go down the mountain and pay for it. You guests who come from afar are not here in vain, why? Sample?"
