It was late at night, and Bailang came out of Qianfang to go home. On the road, I saw two groups of waist knives walking quickly through the shadows of the street. Every time these waist knives would stop and salute him, and call out "Bai Ye" in a polite manner.
Bai Lang nodded in response, knowing in his heart that Tang Yan was starting to fight back.
To put it bluntly, in fact, whether Tang Yan was passive or active, it was not the sword hall itself, but the outcome of the power struggle between Yongchuan City and the state capital.
When Yongchuan City's side was weak, Tang Yan could only be beaten passively. When there is a balance of power between Yongchuan City and the state capital, Tang Yan will be able to slowly stabilize his position. In the end, Yongchuan City gained the upper hand and Tang Yan now had the possibility to launch a counterattack.
Although Bailang also suggested some small tricks at the beginning, it did delay the attack for a few days and made the opponent a little embarrassed. But it is not a decisive change to the overall situation.
Otherwise, how could Tang Yan say that the sword hall was just a "chamber pot" in the hands of the city lord's palace? I can't help myself.
As for how effective this counterattack can be, Bailang doesn't think it will be too much. After all, the other party is not an idiot. He didn't run away when things looked bad, but he stayed in Yongchuan City and became a meat bun for you?
So when Bailang heard that the Sword Hall was secretly verifying the location of the people in Yuzhong in the city, he didn't say anything.
But starting to fight back means that Trouble has passed the most dangerous period this time. Tang Yan and other senior executives of the knife academy are no longer in danger of being replaced. There is no longer the risk of someone cutting off an arm of the Yongchuan City Lord's Mansion.
But the trouble certainly can't be said to be completely over yet. But it’s entering the next stage. Because of Tang Yan's injury and the loss of a large number of manpower in the knife studio during this period.
When Bai Lang saw Tang Yan in Ma Sheng Alley that day, he noticed that Tang Yan's face had a hint of gold. This is a sign that the meridians are severely damaged and the circulation of spiritual energy in the body is blocked. Any Qi practitioner knows the seriousness of this kind of injury. If you are not careful, you will damage Daoji.
Even with Bailang's limited knowledge of Qi Practitioners, he understood that it would probably take a long time for Tang Yan to recover as before. There is even a question mark as to whether he can be completely healed. It is not impossible to leave a hidden injury or even a fixed loss of strength.
As a result, the overall strength of the knife shop has declined visibly. This is like an injured buffalo on the grassland, which will naturally attract covetous attention.
For example, Lin Yue Knife Hall, which has been waiting for a long time, waiting for Yongchuan City to return to the scene of "internal fighting" after the power of Yuzhong Prefecture is withdrawn. In this way, people at Lin Yue Knife Hall can cut meat from Tang Yan without worrying about offending the city lord's palace.
At the very least, there will definitely be damage to the site. It just depends on how big the appetite of Lin Yue Knife Shop is. If Lin Yue didn't have a big appetite, Bai Lang thought Tang Yan would choose to swallow his anger appropriately.
So the next trouble is how to resist the erosion of Lin Yue Knife Hall. The purpose of falling on Bailang is to keep an eye on Qianfang, and at the same time keep an eye on the businesses that have just emerged in his hands.
Back home, Bai Lang glanced at his younger brothers and sisters who were already asleep in their respective rooms. He picked up the two children from school yesterday. At present, the overall situation in the knife shop has been stabilized, and there is no possibility of it affecting these two children.
A family is most at ease when they are together.
After covering Bai Yuankai with a thin quilt, Bai Lang washed up, changed his clothes, returned to his room and sat down cross-legged. Nowadays, spiritual practice has basically replaced sleep. Even in terms of nourishing and repairing the body, the effect of spiritual practice is actually far better than that of normal sleep. It just requires an adaptation process. After all, what needs to be changed is human incompetence.
During this period, Bailang's practice was mainly based on "Two Introductory Chapters of Xiao Zhoutian", supplemented by "General Chapter of Five Elements Techniques", and then martial arts.
This is not because Bai Lang has given up on martial arts, but that the trauma to his body is as Liu Xu said before. It has damaged the roots, and he needs to recover for a while, and he does not dare to resume the practice of martial arts for the time being.
However, with the help of the "Nourishment Technique" and the nourishing medicinal materials sent by acquaintances from all over these days, Bailang's body is recovering quickly with a lot of nourishment. He estimated that if he raised it for another month and a half, it would be fine.
After he recovered well, Bai Lang was still thinking about the sword hall benefits he had received after becoming a red sword. He had not yet received the benefits, so he went to the Chuanfa Hall to choose new martial arts methods.
Last time, Bailang made a huge profit by relying on the fusion special effects that his subordinates understood. This time he was looking forward to it even more.
The night passed. Bai Lang finished his work, and all the green light brought by the body nourishing technique disappeared into his body. When he opened his eyes, he was already full of energy. Then he put the spiritual stone he had held in his hand all night back in the hidden alley in the house and put it away.
Now he has tasted great benefits for Lingshi Bailang. The one left by Huang Yi was almost used up, but now Tang Yan sent another one. Bai Lang felt that he might be able to break through the introductory stage of "Little Zhou Tian's Two Introductory Parts" with this second spirit stone.
At the same time, it also made Bai Lang realize that the little spiritual energy accumulated by his own skills alone on the way to practice was completely insufficient. It is even more necessary to use external forces. This also made him more determined about his previous plan.
The three brothers and sisters went out separately after breakfast. Bai Yan even wanted to tell Bai Lang not to get hurt again. Her watery eyes looked helpless and worried.
When they saw the scar on Bai Lang's neck the day before yesterday, Bai Yan and Bai Yuankai were so frightened that they burst into tears. They were extremely frightened. The scar alone made it clear to them how dangerous their eldest brother's life was during their time in the school. He was almost killed.
Bailang naturally smiled and comforted him, but at the same time he also knew that if he wanted to stop his brothers and sisters from worrying, he could only make himself stronger.
In the morning, I finished handling the things left over from last night in Qianfang. At noon, Bailang took two waist knives to the small restaurant he had visited once before. Let the waist knife guard the door, and he pushed the door open and went in.
"Master Bai!"
There were already people in the side room, and when Bai Lang came in, they all stood up and saluted. They were the five people Bailang met in prison and asked them for help once. Among them, the one who impressed Bailang the most was Wang Lin, a smuggler who came to him to try out the black market business.
"Well, let's all sit down. Silly cow, let's get everyone filled with wine."
Han Niu responded, and no one else here dared to compete with him. They could only stand up, pick up the wine bowl, and bend slightly to accept the pouring of wine.
Then Bailang drank three strong drinks, and then started talking about business.
"The main purpose of inviting you to have a drink today is for two reasons. The first is to hear what you have to say. The second is to discuss a business deal with you."
Business?
The five people present were all curious about what "business" Bailang was talking about. But based on the profit Bailang made from buying information from them before, maybe it will be a good thing this time?
Only Wang Lin, who was sitting in the corner, his eyes lit up and he vaguely guessed something.
