Wei Jing first bowed in all directions, and then said: "There has been a lot of turmoil in the Sima family today, and it has only just settled down. It has not only delayed the compilation of the book, but also wasted your precious time. I would like to apologize to Tianji Pavilion and everyone."
Although Wei Jing apologized to everyone, most of the martial arts people not only had no intention of complaining, but appeared to be in high spirits. When the Sima family fought against Yangxin Tower, it was very rare to witness such a battle at the scene.
Secondly, all the heads, Shangguan and his son, Xiao Yao and others showed off their skills. Everyone was so dazzled that they wished they had more eyes to be able to fully appreciate everyone's elegance.
Sanlai Yangxinlou usually does evil things, and there are people present who have a grudge against him. This time his treacherous plan failed to succeed, and the Sima family suffered a huge defeat, which was very satisfying.
At this time, Liu Zhonglin, a disciple of the Lingyang Sect, stood forward and said loudly: "Master Wei Er, I almost mistakenly believed the thief, which made all the masters humiliated. I...I..."
Later, he didn't know what to say, and he was about to kneel down to apologize. Wei Jing quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "Brother Liu's sect is in trouble. It is inevitable that concern will lead to chaos. Moreover, Yangxinlou is deliberately designed to mislead, and it is impossible to prevent it. Now, The misunderstanding has been resolved, Brother Liu, don’t worry about it!”
Many people who live in the world value their reputation most, and many disputes arise from the damage to their reputation, leading to all kinds of conflicts that get out of hand. At this moment, Wei Jing actually revealed the matter with a single word, and Liu Zhonglin was even more ashamed. Neng said: "There are many second-in-commands, and the Lingyang Clan will always remember the benevolence and righteousness of the Sima family."
At this time, many people confessed their mistakes. Wei Jing only said that this was the instigation of traitors and asked everyone not to be uneasy.
A group of martial arts people saw everything in their eyes and praised the Sima family one after another. Someone said: "The masters of the family are highly skilled in martial arts and have a big heart. They are very admirable!"
Someone else said: "I have always heard that the Sima family is famous all over the world, and today I see that it is well-deserved. I, Old Zhao, am now convinced!"
Another person said: "Which boss will be recruiting for "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors" next year?"
Even the Sanren Lu Changge also smiled and said: "Lu's horizons have been opened today. This trip is really worth it!"
But it didn’t say whether “eye-opening” refers to martial arts or conduct.
Wei Jing thanked them all and then said: "To be honest with you, the Sima family also sensed something fishy about the attacks on various factions these days. They have been investigating and secretly conducting investigations for a period of time. An organization where people do things, so we suspect that there is someone behind the scenes. If you have any clues, please feel free to let us know."
This paragraph already showed that he could not get through with Tianji Pavilion. Wei Jing thought to himself that the matter was over anyway, and there was no need to hide the Sima family's investigation anymore.
Everyone cheered again, and some people even volunteered to discuss it with their own sect if the Sima family could use them. Wei Jing thanked him for a while before concluding today's matter.
Afterwards, Shangguan Daozheng and Shangguan Feichen and his son brought the people from Yangxin Tower back and then left first. Seeing that everything was settled, Ji Cangran continued with the book compilation schedule. By dusk, all the masters had completed compiling their own martial arts, and compiled it into a volume by Tianji Pavilion and handed it over to Master Mingxiang for safekeeping. The subsequent journey back to Shaolin was also jointly escorted by people from Tianji Pavilion and Shaolin.
In the evening, Tianji Pavilion held a banquet in Jingxinzhuang to entertain the masters who had stayed here to celebrate the success of "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors". Although it could not be called a successful ending, at least it was a close call. Many people at the banquet were interested in talking to each other. Wei Jing made friends and came to pay tribute one after another. Wei Jing also expanded a lot of contacts in the martial arts world. Cheng Zixian, Lu Qingdi, and Ren Qianyun were worried about the change, so they stayed nearby to take care of them at any time.
Two days later, Shangguan Daozheng invited Wei Jing and other four heads to go to the Shangguan family's residence in Nanjing. At this time, most of the people in Yangxinlou had been handed over to the government, and only Zhao Yachen and three men were left, including the "Vice Deputy Lu". "Head of the Sect" and three other members of the Xiyun Sect, Shangguan Daozheng was planning to hand them over to Su Yunshen and let the other sects handle them on their own.
When Wei Jing and his four friends arrived at Shangguan's house, they discussed this episode of "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors to the Hidden" with Shangguan Daozheng, Shangguan Feichen and his son in the room. Su Yunshen went to see three fellow disciples and asked about the whole story of the Xiyun Sect's extermination.
Wei Jing first raised his hands and said to Shangguan and his son, "Thank you very much to Shangguan's family for helping us get through this difficult time!"
Shangguan Daozheng returned the greeting and said, "You're welcome. Not to mention that all the heads of the family are benevolent to the Shangguan family. The Sima family is well-known as a chivalrous person in the world. Even if there is no kindness, Shangguan Daozheng cannot sit back and watch a benevolent chivalrous man being framed by others." .”
Lu Qingdi praised: "The head of the Shangguan family is really a hero!"
Shangguan Daozheng said: "Thank you very much. I just wonder how the third master was able to detect Yangxinlou's poisonous plan this time. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from an open gun but difficult to prevent a hidden arrow. It is indeed not easy for the third master to take precautions before they happen and to find out the opportunity first."
Cheng Zixian smiled and said: "It seems a bit lucky. I was traveling around Nanjing some time ago and heard reports from diners about attacks on many sects. Among them, in the past two months, a small sect in Nanjing was At most, the night attack on Yangxin Tower happened to be during this period. At first, I only suspected that these attacks were also their work, so I asked my diners to investigate in detail."
Wei Jing nodded and said: "At that time, I happened to return to the Sima family's headquarters, and I passed by the third brother without meeting. I only learned from the sect leader that the third brother had just left not long ago."
Cheng Zixian said: "That's right. After investigation later, it was found that some of these incidents were to steal martial arts, and some were unprovoked attacks. However, they had one thing in common, that was, they did not cause any major losses, as if they were deliberately joking. Similar, but after one of the sects was attacked, a jade pendant suspected to be from the Sima family was found at the scene."
Shangguan Feichen said: "I think this is the time when we come to Yangxin Tower, no, it should be Tianji Pavilion."
Cheng Zixian said: "Later, we stepped up the investigation and found traces of jade pendants in another gang. From this point on, we can infer that Tianji Pavilion intends to take action against the Sima family, so I contacted the Shangguan family and asked them to keep an eye on Tianji Pavilion during this period. trends and provide assistance when necessary.”
It turned out that when Wei Jingfu arrived in Nanjing, he received letters from Cheng Zixian and Shangguan Feichen, reminding him that Tianji Pavilion was about to take action, and he should cooperate with the Shangguan family during this period and act accordingly.
Cheng Zixian continued: "At this time, Su Yunshen happened to mention the family affairs to me. After observing the Jingxin Village for several days, we determined that the Xiyun Sect present was a fake."
Ren Qianyun asked: "How did the third brother know when they would take action?"
Cheng Zixian smiled and said: "I can only use calculations for this section. Your third brother is not that powerful."
Then he said: "I guess, if I were Tianji Pavilion, how would I deal with the Sima family? The Sima family has a big business and many masters. Even if I have killers from Yangxin Tower, it would be unrealistic to assassinate them one by one. In the end, The best way is to ruin the reputation of the Sima family and make people all over the world attack it. In this way, Tianji Pavilion will save trouble, and the Sima family will have no time to take care of it and hinder the affairs of "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Hidden"."
Ren Qianyun smiled and said: "The third brother is really cruel!"
Cheng Zixian shook his head and said, "That's wrong. I have always valued peace, and I am not ruthless and cruel."
Lu Qingdi smiled and said: "Peace is the most important thing? I think it's true that you are full of bad intentions."
Wei Jing pondered and said, "Well, if we want to make the Sima family lose their trust in the world, it would be best to choose a place where everyone can see us and make us look foolish in public."
Cheng Zixian said: "Exactly, so "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Hidden" is a very suitable stage, especially when the results are announced in the last two days with the largest number of people, it is the best time."
Although Cheng Zixian guessed that it was the last two days, in fact, when the competition was going on in the first twenty days, Lu Qingdi, Ren Qianyun, and Zhang Wuchang had been arranged to go to Nanjing first to prevent any changes, just to prevent Tianji Pavilion from taking precautions. , only Cheng Zixian showed up.
Cheng Zixian smiled and said: "Actually, in the venue at that time, I wanted to scold people for a longer time to see if Tianji Pavilion would lose its composure and show its flaws. However, Ji Cangran was extremely deep and did not show any signs of it from beginning to end. A flaw.”
Shangguan Daozheng nodded and said: "Later, the people from the Yangxin Tower swarmed up. They didn't want to delay it any longer and wanted to lead the situation into a more intense conflict, so as to deepen the rift between the Sima family and the martial arts people."
Ren Qianyun said: "It doesn't matter if I wait, it really hurts to hear you being scolded."
Cheng Zixian smiled and said, "I think the only one you feel sorry for is your second brother, right?"
Ren Qianyun smiled and said: "What are you talking about? I feel sorry for both of them equally, okay?"
Wei Jing also smiled and said, "Third brother, please stop teasing her."
Shangguan Daozheng rarely showed a smile at this time and said: "I heard Fei Chen tell me about the friendship between the heads of the family a few days ago. It is really enviable."
