Tang Xiansheng had never seen Han Sitong lose his composure before. He thought that Han Sitong must be extremely confused, so he walked a short distance with Qi Zuo, the housekeeper of Zhengyi Villa, and after walking around outside, he turned back. Sitting in the living room.
Seeing Han Sitong half-slumped on the chair, his spirit was extremely depressed and frowning, he asked softly: "Brother, what's wrong? Isn't it just a housekeeper?"
Han Sitong sat up slightly and replied in a low voice: "Lao San, I have never told Brother Jiang that I have a personal grudge with Jiang Daogong. We are going to be enemies of the Longwei Escort Agency this time, and I have not sent anyone to inform him. Justice Villa. Justice Villa is thousands of miles away from here, how did you know that we wanted to attack Longwei Escort Agency? "
Tang Xiansheng was also confused, and he replied casually: "Zhengyi Villa has many friends and a wide reputation. Maybe one of the good guys who came here at the invitation leaked the news. Then Bai Shaoxia and Zhuo Shaoxia also followed Ding. Did the brothers come together uninvited?"
Han Sitong sat up straight and said: "I rushed from here to Zhengyi Villa more than once or twice, and the horse hooves did not stop all the way. It is really difficult to go back and forth in such a short period of time. Besides, among the friends we invited, Jiaohu is the farthest place, and if we get the news through hearsay, getting there today will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Tang Xiansheng calmed down, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice: "You mean, Qi Zuo knew that Longwei Escort would escort Guan Yin to Beijing before Jiang Longwei became the chief escort, and he also guessed that this trip The escort will take the land route instead of the water route, and the escort vehicle will definitely pass through our territory of Black Tiger Village, where we have been dormant for a long time waiting for news."
"This is what I can't understand." Han Sitong picked up the teacup on the coffee table next to him and took two sips of tea, then said: "Jiang Daogong's Longwei Escort Agency, Jiang Yulang's Zhengyi Villa, one in the south and one in the north, Jiang Daogong and Jiang Yulang They have never met each other, have no contact with each other, and have no interest entanglements. They have always been in harmony with each other. Even if the reputation of Longwei Escort Agency becomes more and more popular, it can only dominate the south of the Yangtze River and cannot threaten the Zhengyi Villa located in the Central Plains. , why should he, Jiang Yulang, disregard morality and send people to help our Black Tiger Village innocently provoke disputes."
Tang Xiansheng heard this, got up, walked back and forth a few steps, sat back slowly, smoothed the three-goat beard on his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Isn't this Qi Zuo from the Jiang Yulang sect?" Are they here, like Cheng Wanpeng and others from Biluo Lake, driven by a certain force and entrusted by others to help others?"
Han Sitong put the tea cup back on the coffee table, stood up, and replied in a low voice: "This is where I got into trouble. If he was sent by Jiang Yulang, and if I flatly rejected his intention to come, how could I meet Jiang Yulang in the future. If he was not sent by Jiang Yulang and had him be Jiang Yulang's messenger and obey his orders, not only would it be a thankless task, but it would also ruin the reputation of Zhengyi Villa, and what would Jiang Yulang do to him in the future?"
Tang Xiansheng saw that Han Sitong had a look on his face, with mixed emotions, and his eyes were looking at him closely, obviously trying to make up his own mind to help Black Tiger Village get out of this dilemma. As brothers and the third leader of Black Tiger Village, it is our duty to help Black Tiger Village get rid of its bad luck. He stood up and said: "Brother, if our Black Tiger Village never engages in the business of robbing families and homes from now on, brothers will not have to rely on others to make a living and become upright and upright good men."
Han Sitong: "I have had your thoughts before, but I just couldn't find a suitable way out, so I kept it in my heart and dared not say it. At present, there are many crises, so it is better to get rid of the current predicament first, save your life, and then discuss the future path. .”
Tang Xiansheng said: "Brother, in my opinion, if you really want to change your ways from evil to good, change your ways, and be in an invincible position, now is the best time."
"Now is the best time!" Han Sitong stretched out his hand on the chair and continued: "Third brother, sit down and talk."
Tang Xiansheng sat down with Han Sitong and said slowly: "It is easy for a person to change from good to bad, and it is difficult to change from bad to good. The same is true for a group. There are so many eyes around them. If there is any mistake, it will be It's a failure. With the current situation of our Black Tiger Village, it is difficult to change things and completely change for the better just by relying on our own strength. If I am not the eldest brother, I will not have such an idea in vain. I have been struggling to say it out for a long time. . Since we can’t do it on our own, why not take advantage of the east wind of Longwei Escort Agency and use our strength to soar up and fly to where we want to go and settle down."
Han Sitong seemed worried and said bitterly: "But this time the Longwei Escort Bureau escorts the escort north, many forces are competing with each other, and our Black Tiger Village cannot afford to offend any force. Judging from the current situation, if we do not rely on one force After a lot of maneuvering, staying neutral may mean waiting for death."
Tang Xiansheng smiled and said, "I can't remain neutral."
Han Sitong took a good look at Tang Xiansheng, saw his eyes embracing hope, and asked softly: "In your opinion, which force should we rely on better? Is it the undercurrent led by Biluohu Cheng Wanpeng, or the undercurrent led by Bai Yutian and Jiang Longwei? The Jiangnan forces led by them?"
Tang Xiansheng replied slowly: "Brother, we don't have the ambition to dominate the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, we can't use the strategy of distant friendship and close attack. Then we might as well choose 'distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors' as our future life creed. We were born in I grew up in the South, and my ideal place to take root is also in the South. It is better to mingle with the martial arts people in the South, get along harmoniously, and live freely, than to leave my hometown, endure hardships, live under someone else's roof, and live like someone else's nose."
Han Sitong heard this. Although he felt that he should choose this way, he was still a little worried and whispered: "But Biluo Lake has been standing in the world for decades. It has such a high reputation and momentum. Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the southern martial arts people to compete with it. . If you are on the wrong team and become a direct enemy, once you lose, it will be equivalent to playing with fire and burning yourself. No one will sympathize with you."
"Brother, you are worrying too much. Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good. If Cheng Wanpeng and the others really came here for the tribute money from Longwei Escort, Biluo Lake would have gone to the opposite side of justice. Once the matter is exposed, how can the decent people in the martial arts continue to follow? Its left and right."
Tang Xiansheng smiled slightly and said confidently: "Also, between Chunyangmen and Biluo Lake, there is a person who is the best in the world. Jiang Qingcheng competed with Wusheng eighteen years ago, but for some unknown reason, he lost. palm, and suffered internal injuries. In order to dominate the world in martial arts, Biluohu ignored the moral principles of the world and chased him thousands of miles away. I wonder how the descendants of Chunyang Clan could swallow this breath. You also saw it yesterday, Bai Yutian's martial arts has reached Having reached the state of perfection, given time, he will definitely not be inferior to the Martial Saint. If Biluohu does not cleanse himself and take care of himself, it is inevitable that he will fall from the altar, it is only a matter of time."
After hearing this, Han Sitong understood that 'distant relations are not as good as close neighbors', and he understood that 'distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors'. He felt relieved and his worries were reduced a lot. He stood up and said, "Okay. From today on, our Black Tiger Village will change its course and return to the right path. Okay." A man only lives for the right path in the world, but he seeks to have no regrets in heaven and earth."
Just when the two brothers were happy that they had made a wise decision, the other three heads came angrily and quickly, crossing the yard and entering the living room.
Han Sitong and others came forward and asked nicely: "Second brother, what's wrong? You're so angry."
The second master sat down, slapped his hand on the chair, and said angrily: "Brother, that steward Qi Zuo of Zhengyi Villa is so outrageous. He actually regards our Black Tiger Village as his own vegetable garden, and visits us everywhere in your name, making monstrous remarks. Everyone, tell me that in your heart you want to have a showdown with Longwei Escort Agency, but I don’t know how everyone feels about it, whether they are happy or not."
Tang Xiansheng smiled and said, "What do other people say?"
The Fourth Master said indignantly: "What else can we do? One person takes the lead, a few others agree, and a bunch of people make noises!"
Han Sitong smiled slightly and said, "Have you made your position clear?"
The fifth master seemed to have no place to vent his anger. He sat down and stood up again, and said angrily: "Brother, you are talking about the Ding brothers, Qin Haowen, Duan Wentong, who are these people? They do one thing in front of their faces and another behind their backs. . Sitting on the table, advising you that it is better to let go of your enemies than to marry them. Sitting with Qi Zuo, you yelled and swore, vowing to be at odds with Longwei escort, for fear that others would not hear. "
Tang Xiansheng asked: "Did you rush over after listening to the shouting of the Ding brothers?"
The fifth master said: "I get angry when I hear that sound, so there's no reason why I shouldn't go and take a look."
When Han Sitong heard this, he laughed and said: "Fifth brother, the Ding brothers encourage others to do bad things and enjoy themselves secretly. How angry are you!"
Tang Xiansheng stood up and said with a smile: "Brother, it doesn't matter if Qi Zuo makes such a fuss, we can just stand in the dark and take a look. Those people are friends we can rely on in the future."
Han Sitong said: "Okay, I will listen to you, let him make trouble in Qi Zuo, we will just treat it as a show."
The fifth master asked very strangely: "Eldest brother, third brother, aren't you angry?"
Tang Xiansheng smiled and replied: "Fifth brother, there is nothing to be angry about. We kindly invited people here, and their mouths are on their faces. As long as they don't hurt us, we have no control over what they say. Besides, They verbally want to be enemies of Longwei Escort Agency, which is against us. Can we say that the people who are willing to help us are bad people? No."
When the second master, fourth master, and fifth master heard this, they felt a lot more at ease, and smiles gradually appeared on their faces.
Seeing this, Han Sitong said solemnly: "Second brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, I just discussed with the third brother, borrowing the escort from the Longwei Escort Agency to go north, and choosing Jiang Longwei, Bai Yutian, and the Ding family to be friends. From now on How do you three feel about bidding farewell to the green forest life of highway robbery? My brothers, please speak freely and speak frankly without any worries."
The second master stood up, bowed slightly to Han Sitong, cupped his hands and said: "The younger brother has already recognized the elder brother as his elder brother. The younger brother will do whatever the elder brother does, without any second thoughts."
The Fourth Master and the Fifth Master bowed to the Korean Four and said: "The words of the second brother are our words, and the heart of the second brother is our heart. I am willing to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire with the eldest brother, and nine deaths without regrets!"
Han Sitong stood up, hugged several people, and laughed and said: "Brothers working together can cut through gold. If you change your ways and return to the right path, you will surely achieve success immediately."
Tang Xiansheng stood up and walked over. The five people's hands were held together, directly connected to the heart.
The sun in the room couldn't bear the loneliness, and when the wind blew, it rippled all over the place, and it moved people's faces.
