During the battle in the capital, both the Tang Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect were injured, especially the leaders of the two factions, who were seriously injured. Because the road back to Sichuan from Tangmen was too long, and Tang Mugong and others were seriously injured and old, they might not be able to withstand the bumps on the road to Shu. So Ren Xiaoyao invited everyone from the Tang Sect to visit Xiaoyao Gate in Hangzhou first, and by the way, a few injured people from the Tang Sect could find a place to recuperate.
Among the four elders of the Tang clan, except for Tang Muxiang, the other three elders were seriously injured. Although they were recovering well in the palace, they were actually in their twilight years and could not withstand the torture at all.
As soon as the group arrived at the border of Suzhou, the injuries of Tang Mugong, Ren Xiaoyao and others suddenly became much worse. Everyone had no choice but to stay in Suzhou for the time being. Fortunately, Suzhou is already within Xiaoyaomen's sphere of influence, and they still have a branch here. When they came to Suzhou, they were at home, and there was no need to stay in an inn.
The helmsman of Xiaoyaomen's Suzhou branch is named Ma Li. Like Tian Shilie, he is also a loyal and honest man, but he is even more loyal and honest than Tian Shilie. He is almost a bit silly for being honest.
Xiaoyao Sect is now at its lowest point, and there are no young, strong, smart and capable people left. After Ren Xiaoyao, only Huang Yuefeng and his son were able to hold the important position.
When Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Men arrived at Xiaoyao Men's Suzhou Branch, Ma Li happened to be away on business, and there was only a group of minions looking after the house.
Ren Xiaoyao's injury worsened and he could no longer take charge. Although Huang Jishan had been appointed as the true successor of Ren Xiaoyao, he had not officially taken over as the head of Xiaoyao Sect. Therefore, Xiaoyao Sect could only be headed by the most prestigious Tian Shilie for the time being.
After Tian Shilie, Huang Yuefeng and others arranged for several seriously injured old men, they began to carefully inquire about Ma Li's outing.
The minions could only answer truthfully. Only then did Tian Shilie and others find out that Ma Li had gone to Meijiazhai and had brought many brothers with him. As for why Ma Li took people to Meijiazhai regardless of the gang's affairs, the minions couldn't explain it for a while. However, the minion also knew that Ma Li already knew that the sect leader was coming to Suzhou and should be able to get back tonight.
Tian Shilie thought that these guys probably knew only so much, so he didn't ask any more questions and just waited for Ma Li to come back.
Seeing that several old men were seriously injured, Huang Yuefeng and others went to the city to look for famous doctors. In the evening, they came back with a very famous old doctor in Suzhou City. The doctor looked at the injuries of the four old men and only said that they had to rest. They would not be able to recover in a short period of time, and they could not use force against others, otherwise their lives would be in danger. Then the old doctor prescribed a few doses of medicine and left alone.
Tian Shilie had no choice but to order his disciples to grab medicine, when Ma Li finally came back.
After Tian Shilie asked, he found out that not long ago, Japanese pirates raided a village not far from Meijiazhai, robbed countless things, and killed many villagers. This incident happened to be caught by the leader of Meijiazhai, Mr. Mei, so Mr. Mei took his disciples to fight against the Japanese pirates. Although Meijiazhai was alone and could not stop the Japanese pirates from burning, killing and looting, they still beheaded more than a dozen Japanese pirates.
Meijiazhai has always had a good relationship with Xiaoyaomen and is also an ally of Xiaoyaomen Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Alliance. Although their power is small, they will definitely not sit idly by when encountering such a thing. In this way, the Japanese pirates will naturally be offended, so there are recent rumors in the world that the Japanese pirates will hire Japanese warriors to find trouble in Meijiazhai. Meijiazhai was originally weak in power, and Mr. Mei's own martial arts was not very high, and he only had an only son, Mei Luo, so the old man could only ask Xiaoyaomen for help, and Ma left Meijiazhai precisely for this reason.
The Japanese warriors seemed to know that the masters of Xiaoyao Sect had all gone to the capital, so they threatened to attack Meijiazhai soon. Ma Li was afraid that something would happen to Meijiazhai, so he brought many disciples to Meijiazhai to help out.
"Elder brother, you are finally back. Now things will be much easier to handle." After Ma Li just greeted Tian Shilie, he saw Huang Yuefeng, whom he had not seen for many years, so he happily pulled Huang Yuefeng and said, "Four Senior brother, you are finally back, I miss you so much."
Although Ma Li is older than Huang Yuefeng, he started his career much later than Huang Yuefeng. When Ma Li started, Ren Xiaoyao's four sons and four disciples had been famous in the world for many years, so they were naturally Huang Yuefeng's junior disciples. In addition, Ma Li himself was not a martial arts talent and had no reputation in the world. If Xiaoyao Sect had not experienced a major change and no one was available, he might not have been able to become the helmsman of the Suzhou branch of Xiaoyao Sect.
After listening to Ma Li's words, Tian Shilie knew that the matter was very serious, so he decided to take people to Meijiazhai to help out tomorrow.
However, many old men such as Tang Mugong and Ren Xiaoyao were still seriously injured and could not afford it if no one took care of them. Xiaoyao Sect currently has a small manpower, and the only ones who can truly be called masters in the world are himself and Huang Yuefeng and his son. After discussion, Tian Shilie and Huang Yuefeng decided to leave a few young people here to take care of their master, while the two of them went to Meijiazhai to help out. Because after Ren Xiaoyao was seriously injured, Huang Jishan had become the top master of Xiaoyao Sect, so Huang Jishan had to go with him, so only Tianming and Ren Hailuan stayed.
However, fortunately, the masters of the Tang Sect were still there, and as soon as they heard about this, they were willing to go to Meijiazhai with Tian and Huang to help out. With the help of many masters from the Tang Sect, Tian and Huang are naturally more confident. The martial arts of Huang Jishan and Tang Zhong are now among the unrivaled masters in the world. Even if there are extremely powerful figures among the Japanese warriors, they can't do it at all. Don't worry.
Although Tian Shilie is slightly less qualified in martial arts, he is a meticulous person in his work. After he had arranged everything properly, he took the Xiaoyao Sect disciples and everyone from the Tang Sect and rushed to Meijiazhai, and Ma Li naturally accompanied him. Ren Hailuan is young and fun-loving, and has been clamoring to follow him to watch the fun. Tian Shilie considered that there would inevitably be a fierce battle, and the little girl's martial arts was too low, so he naturally disagreed with her going.
His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and Ren Hailuan couldn't go without the consent of his uncle.
Among the Tang Sect, Tang Zhong's wife Wei Yan didn't know martial arts at first, but she was eager to learn, and secondly, she received guidance from many masters of the Tang Sect. After getting the Blood Yan Sword, her skills improved by leaps and bounds. It didn't take long for her to be strong in martial arts, and ordinary men in martial arts were no match for her. Therefore, she also accompanied him.
Meijiazhai is not far or near from Suzhou, almost two hundred miles away. Because the situation was urgent, Tian Shilie and others did not dare to delay, so they arrived at Meijiazhai on Pegasus. When Mr. Mei saw that Xiaoyaomen and Tangmen, the two major martial arts families, were coming to help, he was naturally very happy and immediately killed pigs and sheep to entertain the masters.
With nothing to do for such a day, everyone from Xiaoyao Sect and Tang Sect had no choice but to stay in Meijiazhai for the time being.
