The thing is, I'm afraid there is no justifiable excuse.
As long as there is a reason, even if you break the rules, you will not be beaten to death with a stick.
Just like Bailang now. They carried out large-scale killings in broad daylight despite the prohibition of the city lord's order, but in the end it was loud thunder but little rain. Not only was there no substantial punishment for Bai Lang, not even one of Bai Lang's subordinates was killed. It was just a large fine.
The intensity of this punishment is almost like a breeze blowing on your face. It's not painful, it's a disguised acknowledgment of the "credit and hard work" mentioned by Bai Lang before, and he also responds to those "credit and hard work" with this understatement as a reward. And it also means that this reason cannot be used again in the future.
"Lin Zuodao, let's say goodbye. See you later!" Bai Lang smiled and greeted Lin Yue who walked out of the city lord's mansion together.
Of course, Lin Yue ignored Bai Lang, but gave him a sinister look, then turned and left. The meaning is obvious, that is, he is not interested in talking nonsense to Bai Lang. The next time they meet, it is a matter of life or death.
"Welcome to the sword! The sword is mighty!"
What greeted Bailang outside the city lord's mansion was Liu Xu and a group of red swordsmen. None of them were left behind.
From today's battle on Chuanzhu Street to the later raid on Xicheng Knife Hall Qianfang, until that fire broke out, who else in the entire Yongchuan City didn't know about this? In the past, many red knives in the knife shop were kept secret for the sake of confidentiality.
When he heard Bailang's attack, Yang Xiu led his troops to successfully surround and kill more than 30 elite waist knivesmen from the Xicheng Knife Hall on Chuanzhu Street, including Li Guang. This is amazing enough. The two sides haven't seen such a killing scene with such results in many years. This is not the end. Then Yang Xiu led some of the most elite men to go deeper, break into the Xicheng Knife Hall's territory over the wall, and burn down the nearest money shop!
What made everyone who heard the news feel outrageous was that after Yang Xiu burned the Qianfang opposite, he led his people back one by one. In the entire series of killings, less than five people were killed, and the rest were only slightly injured!
The red knives who finally got the news rushed to Chuanzhu Street and met Yang Xiu who was dealing with the aftermath. It was Liu Xu who asked, and then he heard the truest situation from Yang Xiu's mouth.
It was not some special means or luck that Yang Xiuneng and his people were able to withdraw from the west of the city unharmed. Instead, Lin Yue, who was coming, was blocked by Bai Lang.
In Yang Xiu's words: People in half the street couldn't get close to him. Lin Yue was blocked and couldn't do anything with the knife. He was even stabbed with several wounds by the knife. His clothes were damaged and he was in a very embarrassed state.
Now there is a scene where the red knives all come to pick up Bailang. It's not that they are being pretentious, but they understand that from now on, the swordsman Bailang of Dongcheng Knife Hall will be irreversible. Both strength and reputation will completely replace Tang Yan.
Anyone who doesn't come here during this period will definitely be remembered by Bailang, and they will worry about having a hard time in the future.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
"Zudao led us to achieve such a dazzling record, killing the bastards in the Xicheng Sword Hall happily. Everyone was excited and came here to listen to Zuodao's mission!"
"Haha, it seems that your loyalty to the sword academy is commendable. However, although the killing was quick this time, you still have to pay a price. Let's go back first."
Bai Lang greeted everyone to get on the carriage with a smile. Seeing this, he knew in his heart that the risk he took had paid off. After that, his position in the knife studio was completely stabilized. In this way, there are fewer constraints, and many things can be started. After all, the news received from all sources in Yongchuan City are very disturbing and not optimistic. There's something about the smell of time that waits for no one.
Here Bailang and Lin Yue left the city lord's mansion respectively. Zhou Zhonghao, the city lord's personal guard, watched the people on both sides leave and then turned back to the side hall where Feng Mingyuan worked.
"all gone?"
"Yes sir, everyone is gone."
"What do you think about today's matter?" Feng Mingyuan put down the pen in his hand. The expression on the face is relaxed.
"My subordinates thought it was just a big battle that Bailang took the risk to gain momentum and prestige for himself. But the scale was not too much."
"Proportion? Haha, he is indeed an expert in this field. He takes good care of all aspects of relationships and emotions at such a young age, and coupled with his quick thinking, he is indeed a talent.
To be honest, this is the first time I have met such a eloquent person in the knife studio. It is much more interesting than people like Tang Yan and Lin Yue. "
Zhou Zhonghao could naturally see that his master had been tricked by Bai Lang's words today. So he followed Feng Mingyuan's words and continued: "In fact, what Bai Lang did is also good for the balance of strength in both sword halls. Although the deaths of Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun before have evened the strength of the Qi practitioners in both sword halls, the red sword and the There is a big gap in the number of waist knives. These are the reasons Bailang mentioned before.
Now there was no need for adults to intervene. Bailang himself found the opportunity to kill the dozens of most elite waist knives under Lin Yue's command, as well as a red knife named Li Guang. This back and forth has leveled the two sides again. "
"Level up? Haha, it's clear who I'm leaning toward today. From now on, the momentum of the knife halls on the east and west sides will inevitably tilt to the east. Not to mention the distance, as far as Qianfang is concerned, the Dongcheng knife hall is also It’s going to be full. But here in Xicheng, I’m afraid it’s going to be empty.”
"Listen to what you say, sir, are you planning to raise Bailang?"
"Well. After today's incident came out, it also reminded me that I can't always focus on the word "balance" in the following. Especially in this sensitive period.
Who knows, will there be a few more shameless forces like Yuzhong in the future? Once the reputation of an industrial park spreads, it will attract people's attention. Many times it is difficult for us to step in and threaten someone, but the knife shop does not. In many cases, knife shops can even provide direct help to deal with situations where it is inconvenient to come out. It's similar to what happened before when Yuzhong attacked and those secret guards went crazy.
Fatten it up, it might come in handy later. "
Zhou Zhonghao suddenly felt something bad when he heard this, because during this period, Feng Mingyuan was very confident in controlling the industrial park. This was also the reason why Feng Mingyuan dared to plan to use the war in Pengshan to push the industrial park to the forefront of the country. After all, behind Feng Mingyuan was the dignified Feng family.
But listening to Feng Mingyuan's current remarks, it seems that this "confidence" is a little unstable.
"Sir, are there any changes in the family?"
"Well, something happened in the temple recently at home, which involved too much energy. So I can only give you some support, but I can't give you substantive help as directly as before."
Zhou Zhonghao thought, "Sure enough." And this is by no means "something happened", it must be something big. Otherwise, how could the Feng family be so overwhelmed that they couldn't even take care of Feng Mingyuan, the disciple in charge?
Zhou Zhonghao suddenly had a hunch that there might be a lot of troubles in the industrial park.
