The situation in front of him took a turn for the worse, and Zhao Jing had to make a secret calculation: This time he brought a total of more than 400 people. Most of them followed him to block the front door, while the rest were scattered behind the villa to prevent Li Bing from escaping. Among the people following him, there were only a dozen or so who could be called masters, and the rest were all ordinary soldiers with average martial arts skills.
On the other hand, the situation of the other party is quite different.
The disciples of the so-called "Flying Immortal Sect", although they are all young men and women, there are only about twenty people at most. But looking at their postures, they all seemed to be very good at fighting, and they must have been trained by Xia Houmei himself.
Although the number is small, their strength cannot be underestimated.
As for the monk group, it is even more desperate. More than a hundred strong monk soldiers who looked like Arhats, not to mention taking action, just poking there quietly, gave off an aura of standing still. If they really want to fight, one against ten would be underestimated.
Therefore, even though the opponent's number is only half of our own, the battle strength is superior.
What's more, with masters like Master Hui Dian and Xia Hou Ninghan, beating yourself is probably as easy as pinching a chicken.
Zhao Jing thought: Fortunately, he was cautious before and did not attack the villa immediately. Otherwise, in the middle of the attack, a large number of thieves suddenly came to help, and the situation would have been embarrassing. Now that a good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate consequences, the limelight is not right, so it's better to hurry up and make a fuss.
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Since the Xiahou Sect Master is determined not to hand over those three people, we can't force it, so we will leave today. Our green mountains will not change, and our green waters will always flow. See you later. have……"
Before he could say the last word "Qi", Hui Dian suddenly shouted: "Asshole! Do you want to run away?!"
The old monk stared at the copper ring with his big eyes, and the crescent shovel in his hand shook with a rattling sound, his momentum was extremely scary.
Zhao Jing trembled secretly, but on the surface he tried to remain calm. He cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Are you Master Hui Dian from Songshan Zen Temple? I have admired you for a long time. My dear, Zhao Jing, I would like to pay my respects to you."
Hui Dian stared at the other person and asked, "Oh? Do you recognize me?"
"Of course," Zhao Jingke responded politely: "Master is a chivalrous and righteous person. Everyone in the world knows the name of the 'Demon-Suppressing Holy Monk'? Hehehehe..."
Huidian was originally called the mad monk who conquered demons in the world, but Zhao Jing changed the word "crazy" into the word "holy", which sounded quite pleasant.
It's a pity that the "holy monk" doesn't do this at all. Hui Dian said dissatisfied: "You even remembered my nickname wrongly. It shows that you haven't heard of it at all. Those compliments just now were all deceiving me, right?"
Zhao Jing was stunned by the old monk's rebuke. He suddenly fell into embarrassment and didn't know how to answer.
Xiahou Ninghan was happy to watch the excitement, smiled and said nothing, letting Master Huidian take charge of the situation. Just listen to Hui Dian's words: "If you want to leave, it's not impossible. Let me answer a question first. If you answer well, that's all. If you don't answer well, then we'll have a big fight!"
Zhao Jing stared at Crescent Moon and shoveled, swallowed, and said bravely: "Well, it's better not to do anything if you can. If you have any questions, please ask Master for advice."
Hui Dian pointed at Zhao Jing and asked, "You came here with open arms, shouting to be beaten and killed. What are you doing?"
Zhao Jing rolled his eyes and made up nonsense: "Oh, actually, this is what happened. There were three thieves who stole my master's things, and we were ordered to patrol them."
Huidian made a look of realization and continued: "Oh - it turns out we are catching thieves. Could it be that they stole the tablets of your ancestors?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jing couldn't help but curse in his heart: Why does this bald donkey speak so unpleasantly? The ancestral tablets have been stolen. Isn't this an obvious way of scolding others and looking for trouble?
Zhao Jing did not know that Master Huidian was an outlier in Buddhism. Not only is his speech unpleasant, but he also has no inhibitions about drinking and eating, and he looks like a drunken and meaty monk. He came all the way this time, originally planning to find a fight, so what could he say nicely at this time?
Just listen to Hui Dian's own explanation: "If the ancestral tablet had not been lost, how could so many unfilial turtle grandsons be sent out to look for it with knives and guns?"
Zhao Jing's subordinates couldn't help but show angry expressions on their faces when Hui Dian scolded them in person.
However, Zhao Jing still swallowed his anger and pretended to be confused: "Haha, yes, what the master said is not wrong. The stolen items are definitely inherited from the ancestors and are very, very important to my master."
Hui Dian nodded: "You were robbed by a thief and lost your treasure. Why don't you report it to the official immediately and ask people from the Yamen to help find the thief? Instead, you go to other people's homes to search without permission. What's the point?"
"Isn't this anxious?" Zhao Jing responded: "The master is very anxious, so we have to look around quickly. If we are too late, we might fire the cannon on the culprit."
Huidian shouted "Amitabha" and said, "So, if you can't catch the person or chase the treasure, you can't explain it to your master when you go back?"
Zhao Jing followed his words and responded: "Yes, Master, it is a shame to be punished when we go back. We have failed the master's trust. We have neglected our duties and are deeply ashamed."
Hui Dian nodded in deep agreement: "In that case, what's the point in talking nonsense? Let's get started quickly."
Zhao Jing looked confused: "Ah? What to start?"
"Of course we're going to start fighting!" the old monk said anxiously: "Aren't you going to the village to catch the thief? If you can't pass the test of Lao Na, how can you catch him? Hurry up!"
Zhao Jing waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, we have no plans to enter the village, let alone pass your test, Master."
Hui Dian glared: "Nonsense! You just said that if you can't catch the thief or find the treasure, you won't be able to explain it when you go back, and you will be ashamed of your master. How can you give up so easily? Besides, before Lao Na showed up, , you made harsh words and planned to attack Xianxia Villa. How can you change your mind now? Come on, don’t worry, let’s do it now!”
"No, no, no, no, Master, don't be impulsive." Zhao Jing said with a smile: "It was all a misunderstanding just now. Don't say that you are here because you are old. Even if you are not here, we will never offend the Xiahou Sect Master."
Hui Dian was very dissatisfied and said angrily: "You coward! There is such a big battle today, how can you be a coward before the battle?!" Then he put away his angry look and changed his face to a friendly one. Zhao Jing said: "Young man, listen to me, don't be afraid. In fact, I have an easy time at this level! Come on, come on, you will know after you try it."
Zhao Jing couldn't help but shook his head: "No, no, no, this is not a problem that is easier to deal with. What happened today is indeed that we were unreasonable and disturbed the peace of the villa. We apologize. Everything in our world is not bigger than a reason. I will wait. No matter how anxious you are, you can't fight without reason."
This last sentence was actually meant for Hui Dian. It means that everyone must be reasonable. We haven't done anything bad yet, so you can't just fix us. As expected, Master Huidian was slightly stunned when Zhao Jing said that although the demon-suppressing mad monk had a hot temper, he was also a decent person who understood the truth and demonstrated the Dharma. Zhao Jing kept giving in, so it was really difficult for him to attack him.
Just when Hui Dian couldn't find any reason to fight, and Zhao Jing was about to get past him, Xia Hou Ninghan, who was standing aside, suddenly said coldly: "Who said there is no reason to fight? How can there be such a light thing in the world? , come as you say, leave as you please?"
Seeing that things were turning around, Hui Dian hurriedly asked: "Niece Ninghan, do you have any other good skills? Tell everyone quickly."
There was evil in Xiahou Ninghan's eyes: "The two village men in my village were kidnapped and beaten by them for no reason. They are now as injured as useless people. If I endure this bad breath today and spread the word in the future, how can it be done? Won’t he lose his father’s name?!”
"This is happening?!" Hui Dian was shocked and delighted: "How dare these thieves hurt innocent people in broad daylight? It's so unforgivable! Oh my, I didn't know the situation before, so I didn't expect there to be such a legitimate reason. , he almost slipped away!"
Xiahou Ninghan nodded slightly, turned to Zhao Jing and asked, "How do you plan to explain this matter?"
Zhao Jing secretly sighed at his bad luck, and said with cupped hands: "Please forgive me, Master Xiahou. Zhao really did not know that these two brothers were Zhuang Ding of your village in advance, so this is very offensive. If you knew that they were senior Xiahou Men, we will never dare to make mistakes, let alone get such a land. Zhao is willing to compensate them heavily for their losses."
Hui Dian couldn't help but said angrily: "You bastard! According to your wishes, Mr. Hanmei's Xianxia Villa does not dare to offend, but you can offend ordinary people at will, right? It's so shameless and unreasonable! Come on, come on, I can’t let this matter go easily this time!”
Zhao Jing knew that he had made a mistake and quickly defended: "No, no, no, master, please calm down, Zhao definitely didn't mean this. No matter whether it is Xianxia Villa or ordinary people, we will not bully the weak. Please draw a line, see, Master Xiahou. Let’s see how this misunderstanding can be resolved.”
Xiahou Ninghan smiled faintly and said leisurely: "How to be nice? It's actually very simple. Let's just follow the rules of the river and lake. We at Xianxia Villa don't care about anything without money. If you kidnap me two, I won't do it either." Leave you two alone. After three days, I will definitely keep them alive and return them to you properly."
Hearing this, Zhao Jing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. On the surface, Xiahou Ninghan seemed to be remembering the incident of hurting her husband, and insisted on retaliating with a tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an eye. This is indeed the so-called rule of the world. But in fact, Zhao Jing is now basically convinced that Xia Hou Ninghan already knew Li Bing's true identity, so he made the request to arrest Li Bing. It was a lie to vent his anger, but it was true to force a confession. It was clear that he wanted to catch Zhao Jing's two men. He holds it in his hand as a witness to the assassination of the prince.
This little girl is really ruthless!
