Thinking of the future of Longwei Escort, he said to Bai Yutian: "Young Master Bai, is the Huizhou government office willing to help?"
Bai Yutian replied: "Huizhou Prefecture sent twenty policemen to help us, but..."
Jiang Longwei said quickly: "But what?"
Bai Yutian said: "According to Senior Xie Mubai's guess, the Huizhou government will most likely sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. When we fight with the killers of the Dragon Slaying Association, both of us will suffer losses. They will fish in troubled waters and kill us as thugs in order to benefit the court. It will be a rich and colorful chapter in writing about the peaceful and prosperous era in the future."
When many men heard this, they felt uneasy and unknowingly slowed down their pace.
Zhang Tianhao, who was walking behind, stepped forward and said, "We are escorting official silver. It can be said that we are contributing to the imperial court. How dare the Huizhou magistrate dare to do this."
Master Mingzhi said: "If you are brave in troubled times, you will support the bandits with self-respect; if you are bold in prosperous times, you will harm the people and make meritorious deeds. What you want is to do it secretly and leave no traces, so why don't you dare?"
Tang Xiansheng said: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been imposed, natural disasters have been frequent, the people have been burdened with heavy burdens, and riots have occurred from time to time. If the prefect of Huizhou treats us as thugs and kills us along with the killers of the Dragon Slaying Society, as long as it is done flawlessly and no one is left alive, You can definitely get away with it. You must be on guard."
Le Xiaotian said: "Even if we can be eradicated as thugs, if the killers of the Dragon Slaying Association are killed, how can Dragon Slaying just give up."
Taoist Master Jingyin said: "The scholars have many eyes and the city is deep. Since he dares to do this, he will have his own countermeasures afterwards."
Taoist Huang Ting said: "The principles of heaven are clear, and if they are sparse and not leaking, there is no airtight fence in the world."
Master Mingzhi said: "Huang Daoting, I think your life has been in vain these past few decades. In the world, there are injustices, false accusations, and wrongful convictions. How can there be no airtight fence? What is important is to keep things secret and leave no omissions. , there will be no evidence afterwards, and there will be no way to investigate."
Jiang Longwei said: "Mr. Li, what should we do? We can't escort the imperial officials and still fight against the government."
"I am already seventy or eighty years old, and I don't have many good days left. I can do whatever I want without any worries. You are young and have a long life ahead of you. You can do whatever you want. No one will dare to stop you." Mingzhi said. After the man finished speaking, he looked around, and it seemed that Gu Huai, Wu Liu brothers and others should also think so.
Gu Huai saw Master Mingzhi's uncompromising look and said, "If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it's better to go home and plant sweet potatoes. Being an official is not easy, and it's not because you don't do what you want, and it's not about being an official who harms the people. As long as he dares to do whatever he wants. , regardless of the people's lives, no matter who he is, even if he is the emperor, we must fight with him, stick to the right path, and win or lose."
Liu Yijin said: "We are here to help, not to make decisions. You young people can take care of it."
Jiang Longwei looked at Bai Yutian and asked, "Young Master Bai, you are walking ahead, have you thought of any good countermeasures?"
Bai Yutian said: "In order to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Association, it is imperative to eradicate the killers in Qinglong Hall. The soldiers should have come to cover up the water and earth and kill them all. However, we finally won the opportunity to escort the official silver. If we compete with the Huizhou government here, Not only will we not be able to get close to the imperial court, but we may also leave a trail and become the enemy of the imperial court. How about we be more generous this time and be patient. A man who understands current affairs will be a hero. As long as those people in the Dragon Slayer Club retreat when they see difficulties. , give up robbing escort money, and let’s just pretend it’s not a problem.”
Su Zhen'er looked worried and interjected: "The Dragon Slaying Society planned this matter three years ago, and it can be said that these official silver are destined to be obtained. If you want them to retreat in spite of the difficulties and make their years of hard work come to nothing, just I’m afraid it’s just wishful thinking on our part.”
Bai Yutian smiled faintly and said in a low voice: "If the people of the Dragon Slaying Association don't give up robbing the official silver, we will retreat in order to make progress and let the Huizhou government take care of this matter."
Jiang Longwei said: "What kind of good method can you use?"
In fact, many people know in their hearts that there seem to be two ways to protect official silver from being robbed, one is to advance and the other is to retreat. The advance is to fight against the Dragon Slaying Association head-on, relying on their own strength to protect Guanyin; the retreat is to Sarai, not resisting, giving up Guanyin to his hands, and then relying on the power of the Huizhou government to chase Guanyin back and change his direction to protect him. Live in official silver. However, considering the relationship between the Dragon Slaying Association and the government in the past, it is always less risky to do something on your own than to rely on the power of the Huizhou government to recover the official silver. It is not a last resort and should not be considered.
Bai Yutian said seriously: "On the way to see you, I met Zhu Siwu and asked him to convey my concerns about the Huizhou government to Ximen Qing and Gui Haiming. If we meet later, we can have a fight. The method is to win three out of five rounds, or two out of three rounds, and it will be good if we can make things right. If not, we will pretend that we are not the opponents of the Dragon Slayer Club, deliberately lose, hand over the escort carriage, and follow them like followers. That’s it.”
Taoist Master Jingyin smiled and said: "This kid is full of tricks and tricks, which makes people's hearts itch. Fortunately, he is not a guy like Tu Long. If not, the world of martial arts will never be peaceful."
When Jiang Longwei heard that Taoist Jingyin was praising Bai Yutian, his uneasiness was reduced a bit, but he still couldn't help asking: "Young Master Bai, what if we lose in the martial arts competition?" In his words, he was worried. It overflows and makes people feel unhappy after hearing it.
You can't blame him. After all, this escort trip can be said to be the foundation of his Longwei Escort Agency. If you lose it, you will lose everything. There will be no chance to start over again, so you have to be cautious and not careless.
Bai Yutian replied nonchalantly: "Chief escort, we don't have the advantage in numbers. If we lose even in the battle between masters, we can even fight to the death with the killers of the Dragon Slayer Association, save the escort, and finally escort Guanyin to Beijing." It is definitely not us, but the Huizhou government. Instead of doing this, it is better to take the risk and withdraw voluntarily from the beginning, letting the heroes stay out of the matter, with less death and less injuries, and to preserve the strength for the eradication of the Dragon Slaying Society later. "
The heroes not far from Bai Yutian heard it, and most of them nodded in agreement and echoed.
Seeing this, Jiang Longwei also stopped questioning. After all, those were the only escorts in the Longwei Escort Bureau. They alone might not be able to safely escort the escort to Beijing.
Bai Yutian glanced at Jiang Longwei and said with relief: "Brother General, you can rest assured that as long as the people of the Dragon Slaying Association are willing to settle this matter in the ring, whether it is a best of five rounds or a best of three against two, we will win. In hand."
Gu Huai said: "Boy, Ximen Qing and Gui Haiming are the descendants of the Sword Immortal. They became famous in the world more than twenty years ago. If they have been practicing diligently and not neglecting their martial arts these years, I am afraid that Old Li will not be his opponent, let alone We are told, don’t underestimate the enemy. Furthermore, as the two envoys on the left and right, their status in the Dragon Slayer Association is comparable to that of the prime ministers in the imperial court. They were both sent by the Dragon Slayer. Who can say for sure that there are no other good people hiding in the dark? place."
Zhang Tianhao said: "Young Master Bai, everything will be done if you are prepared, and if you are not prepared, it will be ruined. The ancient saying is true."
Bai Yutian's face kept smiling, but deep down, he didn't quite agree.
The two heroes of the Ding family saw Bai Yutian looking worried and came forward. Ding Kai said: "Young Master, when the time comes, confidence is courage. Courage can determine victory or defeat. You must not be timid before fighting, which will inflate the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." Ding Hua said: "Young Master, the ancient hero said No matter what is right, no matter what Zhang Daxia says, no matter how reasonable you are, you should listen to it, and if you don’t listen, you should pass it by. You must have your own opinion."
Bai Yutian heard this and looked at Gu Huai, Zhang Tianhao, and then at the Ding brothers. The smiles on his faces could be described in two words, one reluctant and the other forced, indistinguishable.
Master Zhizhi said: "When dealing with things, you must learn to understand the importance and the trade-offs. You don't need to blindly seek perfection. If you can't escape, listen to the Ding brothers. If you can escape, listen to Gu Huai and Zhang Tianhao. Before fighting, you can despise the enemy. , when fighting, you should pay attention to the enemy. Although confidence is not omnipotent, although courage does not guarantee victory when encountering the enemy, it can also stimulate fighting spirit, which is indispensable for defeating the enemy."
Huang Tingdao Ren said: "Just listen to Mr. Li, before fighting, despise the enemy. If it is a best-of-five game, I, Huang Daoting, will be one."
Xiao Ruoyun saw a red spot on the clothes around Bai Yutian's waist, which seemed to be seeping out from inside, and pulled Zhang Tianhao's sleeve. Zhang Tianhao understood: "Since Master Huang takes the lead in defying the enemy, if it is a best-of-five-game system, I, Zhang Tianhao, can also be counted as one."
Master Mingzhi thought of the swordsman who cultivated his mind and martial arts back then, and glanced at Huang Daoting and Zhang Tianhao. Why did he feel that if the two of them had a serious fight with Ximen Qing and Gui Haiming, they might not be able to take advantage. He said to Bai Yutian : "Tian'er, it's best to use a best-of-five-game system. Leave Ximen Qing and Gui Haiming aside and win the other three games."
Bai Yutian said: "Old Li, my third uncle's martial arts is not inferior to that of Master Huang. I'm afraid that as Gu Gu said, there are other masters hidden in the Dragon Slaying Association."
Wang Xiulan said: "Tian'er, your third uncle has left the Dragon Slaying Association, so he will join you to deal with the Dragon Slaying Association."
Bai Yutian said: "Aunt Wang, since we can't catch all the people in Qinglong Hall this time, Third Uncle has to continue to lurk in the Dragon Slaying Association, so he will definitely become our enemy."
Gu Huai said: "Didn't you just say that Xie Mubai is also here?"
Bai Yutian said: "Senior Xie was forced to stab me and received a heavy slap from me because of the grievances he had with Biluohu. Later, in order to help me fight off the enemy, he fought with Cheng Wanpeng life and death. He has not recovered from his internal injuries, and I am afraid that he will not be able to fight against the masters in the Dragon Slaying Guild at this time."
Xiao Ruoyun said: "How are you injured?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days."
Master Mingzhi said: "Tian'er, the grudge between Xie Mubai and Biluohu was originally caused by your master, and it was settled with your body. There is nothing wrong with it. Don't take it personally."
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "I slapped him, but I did it randomly out of urgency and never took it seriously."
Taoist Master Jingyin asked softly: "Can you still take action now?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "One move can defeat the enemy, but dozens of moves cannot determine the outcome."
Gu Huai said: "Okay, best of three games, you, Lao Li, in the Huangdao Court; best of five games, plus Jingyin and Zhang Tianhao."
Le Xiaotian joked: "Gu Gu, why don't you try your hand at such a good opportunity?"
Gu Huai replied with a smile: "How can I, a great hero from the Central Plains, replace the martial arts people from the South to compete on stage?"
The wisdom of the wise says: "Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal. The most important thing for a person is to have self-awareness."
That is. What do you want, how much does it cost? If others don’t know it, why don’t you know it? How can it be.
All the heroes smiled warmly, cheered everywhere, and marched forward with high morale.
