The white clouds are floating, the water is clear, the mountains are green, and the sunshine is kind.
At the entrance of the valley, Jiang Longwei, Huang Daoting, and Le Xiaotian were sitting on their horses. They saw a group of people coming quickly from the valley. Although their steps were a little hurried, they were also light and cheerful. Not feeling any hostility, I calmly sat down and waited patiently.
Jiang Longwei's face stretched out, not particularly at ease, with a slightly worried look. As is human nature, this is the first time that he has come to seek trouble with someone as the leader of a party, and the matter is of great importance, and if he pulls one hair, his whole body may be affected. You can neither look around nor retreat, so you should be cautious. Moreover, he was not sure what the other party was thinking and whether he could follow his wishes. The worries and uneasiness weighed on his heart like a huge boulder, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Huang Daoting saw this and cheered: "Chief escort, you must start with a plan when you do something, and you must consider the deeds when you speak. As long as you have thought about it before starting, and can do what you say, you can do the rest without worrying too much. "
Jiang Longwei smiled warmly, straightened his posture, a friendly smile condensed on his face, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he secretly made up his mind that today, everything will depend on people, everything will be done by people, and everything will be done by people.
A benevolent person will not change his integrity based on prosperity and decline, and a righteous person will not change his mind based on survival.
Han Sitong and others quickly came to the mouth of the valley and saw a young man standing between the two elders with a friendly smile and goodwill. He quickly came forward with the four heads of the family, raised his hands and said politely: "Han Sitong of Black Tiger Village, together with the four brothers, I’ve met Mr. Jiang, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Le. The three of you are here, and I’m late to greet you. If I’ve been rude, I apologize for it!”
Jiang Longwei cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "Jiang Longwei, the junior, has met the leader of the Han village and the four heads of the clan. It is a great honor to be welcomed with such a warm welcome, but it is also a shame."
Huang Daoting and Le Xiaotian were here to help, so they couldn't steal Jiang Longwei's limelight, so they responded with an understatement: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
All the heroes came forward, smiling and peaceful.
Han Sitong said happily: "Jiang Shaoxia, Master Huang, Le Daxia, and other heroes heard that the three of you came to Black Tiger Village as guests, and they were extremely happy. They thought about meeting each other soon and being happy."
Jiang Longwei arched his hands, saluted and said hello: "Junior Jiang Longwei, I have met many heroes. Thank you for your kindness."
All the heroes solemnly came forward to greet him one by one and said their names.
They had met each other. Han Sitong and Tang Xiansheng walked behind with Jiang Longwei, and the other three heads and other heroes walked in front with Huang Daoting and Le Xiaotian, walking towards the valley talking and laughing.
Jiang Longwei was afraid that after entering Black Tiger Village, people would talk too much and it would be difficult to agree on some things. He was also afraid that Han Sitong and others would be hesitant due to the favor of the heroes and could not make a decision at the moment, so he wanted to use the opportunity of walking to explain his decision. Intention.
Tang Xiansheng, who was experienced in dealing with situations, also felt the same way. To show his honesty, he spoke first: "Young Master Jiang, these friends from all walks of life were originally invited to help Black Tiger Village and witness the settlement of past grievances between Black Tiger Village and Longwei Escort Agency. . Because Biluo Lake and Zhengyi Villa have successively intervened in this matter, my eldest brother feels that something is wrong. In order to avoid being manipulated by others in the future, he hopes to turn conflicts into friendship with Longwei Escort Bureau and become friends. "
Jiang Longwei was overjoyed and said happily: "Master Han, I wonder if the third master's words can be accurate?"
Han Sitong greeted him with a smile and said: "Young Master Jiang, we in Black Tiger Village are of the same mind. The words of my third brother are the thoughts of my brothers in Black Tiger Village. Once a word is spoken, it is difficult to chase it, and every sentence can be accurate."
Jiang Longwei said with a smile: "Master Han, the third master of the family, I, Jiang Longwei, really believe it."
Han Sitong: "A gentleman is good at what he says, and every word comes from his heart. He must believe it to be true."
Jiang Longwei smiled happily, then turned to say with a serious expression: "Master Han, the third master of the family, I will tell you the truth. Today, Master Huang and Chief Le Biao accompanied me to pay homage to the mountain. Firstly, I want to eliminate the unpleasantness in the past; secondly, I want to Invite all the brothers in Black Tiger Village to help and protect this escort trip with our Longwei Escort Bureau. After this is done, if the brothers in Black Tiger Village are willing to work as escorts in our Longwei Escort Bureau, I, Jiang Longwei, will go out ten miles to welcome them."
When Han Sitong heard this, he was extremely happy and said to Tang Xiansheng, "Third brother, what do you think?"
Tang Xiansheng replied: "Young Master Jiang, since you have made your words clear, we have nothing to hide. For the sake of the future of his brothers, my eldest brother wanted to change his ways from evil to good five years ago, change his ways, and return to the right path. But for some special reasons, it was really difficult to get it right in one step, so we couldn't do it. If Longwei Escort Bureau can really accept all these suffering brothers from our Black Tiger Village, our Black Tiger Village will definitely be grateful and willing to live and die with Jiang Shaoxia and share the hardships. , to tide over the difficulties together.”
Jiang Longwei said: "Master Han, the third master of the family, my father failed to pay attention to your many difficulties back then. He thought it was because you had too deep feelings for Black Tiger Village that you couldn't let go. He refused his request and took back his own in a fit of anger. I hope you will forgive me for the goodwill I should have. If the brothers in Black Tiger Village really want to get out of this valley this time and never come back no matter how difficult life is in the future, I, Jiang Longwei, am willing to make an oath to stay with my brothers for the rest of my life. Let’s help each other and create a better future together.”
After hearing this, Han Sitong excitedly stretched out his right hand towards Jiang Longwei and said happily: "A gentleman's promise will be taken lightly by the five mountains. As soon as Jiang Shaoxia said this, I, Black Tiger Village, will go from evil to good, and I will no longer have to worry about anything."
Jiang Longwei stretched out his right hand, held it, and said with a smile: "Giving flowers to others leaves a lingering fragrance in your hands. Overcoming difficulties with Black Tiger Village can be said to be a good thing that benefits oneself and others. As long as the brothers in Black Tiger Village can trust me, Jiang Longwei, I wish you all the best." If you treat me, Jiang Longwei, as someone you can rely on, you will no longer have to worry about anything."
Han Sitong said cheerfully: "Young Master Jiang, the Longwei Escort Agency has always been about trustworthiness, so there is no reason why you can't trust it. We, the entire Black Tiger Village, will trust you with all our heart."
Jiang Longwei said happily: "Master Han is the third master of the clan, so we have reached an agreement today. We will work together to advance together and work together to win the future."
"Please!" Han Sitong stretched out his hand and led Jiang Longwei towards Juyi Hall.
Everyone entered the Juyi Hall one after another, sat down one by one, and placed tea and fine wine.
Han Sitong stood up and said cheerfully: "Dear friends and brothers, let us raise a toast together to welcome Jiang Longwei, the chief escort of Longwei Escort Bureau, the chief escort of Longwei Escort Bureau, Mr. Jiang Longwei, the head of Huangdaoting in Jiuhuashan, and the chief escort of Letian Escort Bureau Le Xiaotian. .”
Everyone raised their glasses, drank the wine, and filled the empty glasses with affection.
When Huang Daoting saw that the table at the left of Qi did not raise a toast and stared at Jiang Longwei with contempt and disdain, Huang Daoting felt angry and deliberately asked Han Sitong loudly: "Master Han, at that table Who are the people sitting there? How come I haven’t seen any of them. Judging from their expressions, it seems that the three of us are not welcome to Black Tiger Village as guests. I would like to ask if the drinks we drink are theirs or not? Is the chair we sit on theirs, or is the air we breathe theirs?”
Seeing that Huang Daoting knew what he was asking, Han Sitong glanced at Qi Zuo's table and saw the wine glasses on the table filled with wine. He understood and replied with a smile: "Master Huang, that is Qi Zuo, the great hero of Qi, known as the Road God. Several others My friends are the chief escorts of various escort agencies, escort chiefs Fan, and escort chiefs Xue..."
Le Xiaotian interrupted: "Qi Zuo, aren't you the butler of Jiang Yulang of Zhengyi Villa? Why are you here? Oh, it must be that Zhengyi Villa is short of money, and he, the Road God, has to go out and get some money in person. Light a lamp, lest you turn your heels in darkness at night."
Qi Zuoyi relied on the name of Zhengyi Villa and was used to pretending to be powerful. Although he came to Black Tiger Village to ask for help, his nature was hard to change and his words were inevitably arrogant and rude. All the heroes had long felt uncomfortable and hindered him. Because of the reputation of Zhengyi Villa, I dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Seeing that Huang Daoting helped them express their grievances, he was so happy that he unconsciously let out a roar of laughter.
How could Qi Zuo bear such a cold reception? He stood up and counterattacked: "Huang Daoting, others practice Taoism and have a pure heart and few desires. You practice Taoism and have many wives and concubines. We are both Taoists, so why are we so far apart? Could it be that you are a Taoist?" What you are practicing is a heretic, and without the method of gathering yin and replenishing yang, it is nothing?"
Upon hearing this, all the heroes immediately held back their laughter and gave Huang Daoting and Qi Zuo their confused expressions. They were afraid that Huang Daoting would get angry and start a fight with Qi Zuo, and they didn't know who to step forward to help.
When Huang Daoting saw this, his heart moved, and a crooked thought popped out. I thought, since Qi Zuo came with bad intentions and was unpopular in Black Tiger Village, why don't I take the opportunity to make the matter bigger? Firstly, I can help Longwei Escort establish an image that is not afraid of power, win people's hearts, and tide over the difficulties together; secondly, Let's take a look at Black Tiger Village's true thoughts and see how sincere Xiangbang Longwei Escort Agency is.
As soon as this thought came out, he immediately stood up and sneered: "Qi Zuo, you will know if you are a heretic or not. Do you dare to have a contest and help everyone verify the martial arts inheritance of Jiuhua Mountain? Are the words too true? , it’s still genuine.”
Qi Zuo had heard about Taoist Huang Ting's reputation and knew that Huang Daoting was an outstanding swordsman. When he competed with Bai Tianyu, he lost one and a half moves. He was a true martial arts wizard. Seeing that Huang Daoting wanted to talk about martial arts, he felt a little guilty and pretended not to hear.
Huang Daoting saw that Qi Zuo had no courage to accept the challenge. In order to prevent his idea from being stillborn, Huang Daoting shouted provocatively: "Qi Zuo, I think you only have so much ability to bully the weak. When you meet a master who is not afraid of Jiang Yulang, you can only shrink back." It’s your duty to not go forward. It’s better to go back to Zhengyi Villa and hide yourself, so as not to be embarrassed outside for a long time, and even Jiang Yulang’s reputation will be ruined.”
Although Le Xiaotian didn't know what Taoist Huang Ting was thinking, he saw that Taoist Huang Ting wanted to embarrass Qi Zuo, so he helped him and said: "Master Huang, you have a good reputation, and everyone knows it. Why insist on following him? People who are unworthy of this kind of morality usually think that Jiang Yulang is blind and has chosen the wrong spokesperson."
Ding Kai stood up and answered: "Le Biaotou, you said that Jiang Yulang chose the wrong spokesperson, which can be accepted reluctantly. If you say that Jiang Yulang is blind or has no brains, then Ding really disagrees. So-called As time goes by, people's hearts are revealed. Qi Daxia is the old man next to Jiang Yulang. He has watched Jiang Yulang become famous. After spending decades together, how could Jiang Yulang be mistaken."
