The three of them, Xu Zhitang, all had good internal strength, and their Qinggong skills were so good that they disappeared in the blink of an eye. At this time, good times and beautiful scenery also came. When Mrs. Wang saw it was Feiyun and the others, she asked, "So it's you. How did you get here?"
Feiyun quickly bowed to Mrs. Wang, told Mrs. Wang about escorting Wu Zetian, and asked Mrs. Wang how she got involved with Xu Zhitang and the others.
Mrs. Wang just said that she was going to Luoyang, but she didn't expect Xu Zhitang and the others to suddenly block the way. As soon as the two sides disagreed, they started taking action.
Feiyun knew that Mrs. Wang had been taking the Wang family with her to protect Wu Zetian secretly, but she was unwilling to admit it. Feiyun said no more about the matter and asked Yunduo how he was injured and what his plans were next.
Mrs. Wang waved her hand and saw a group of people coming out of the woods. Feiyun took a closer look and saw that it was Wang Nan, Yun Duo, Hua Hua and others. After everyone greeted each other, Mrs. Wang said that she would continue moving forward, but asked Feiyun not to go with them.
Liangchen understood that Mrs. Wang wanted to clear the way ahead, so he agreed to her, saying that the three of them would follow them secretly to prevent any unexpected events. Mrs. Wang nodded and led the Wang family to continue heading north.
Liangchen immediately asked Mei Mei to go back and tell Wu Wei that he could follow slowly, but not too closely. Meimei agreed and turned around, while Feiyun and Liangchen quietly followed Mrs. Wang and continued northward.
Mrs. Wang and her party had not been walking for long when they were blocked by a group of people. Mrs. Wang took a closer look and saw that among them was an old man in his fifties or sixties. The one standing on the left was Xu Zhitang, and the one on the right was Huang Yuxian. This time Huang Yuxian was not masked and showed his true face.
Mrs. Wang snorted coldly and said: "Xu Zhitang, why are you still here and blocking the way again? I tell you, even if we die, our Wang family will not be slaves!"
Huang Yuxian smiled slightly and said: "Mrs. Wang, Huang Yuxian is also from Lingnan. I have heard about the reputation of the Wang family for a long time, and I have always wanted to see it."
Mrs. Wang has naturally heard of Huang Yuxian's reputation and knows that she is a master of the Danxia Sect. When Mrs. Wang saw her with Xu Zhitang, she knew that she also had a grudge against Wu Zetian.
Mrs. Wang thought for a while and asked, "Nvxia Huang, what do you really want? You might as well open the skylight and speak out!"
Huang Yuxian smiled slightly and said: "Mrs. Wang, we want to compete with your Wang family for five games. If you win, we will let you go. If you lose, you only need to agree to do one thing for me."
Yang Xuefeng said: "Okay, let's compete in five games. Whichever side wins more will be considered the winner. What do you think?" Li Xianglan nodded and agreed, "Okay. But the loser must obey the other party's orders from now on!" Upon hearing this, Yang Xuefeng said, His face changed slightly. Although he and Yang Xuelian had been mentally prepared for this before, they were still a little surprised when Li Xianglan said it seriously. It seems that the Dragon and Phoenix Sect is bound to win, so come prepared.
Yang Xuefeng stared at Li Xianglan for a while and said slowly: "If we win, does it mean that the gambling house will also obey our orders?" Li Xianglan giggled and said: "Are you worried that we can't make the decision on their behalf? This Don’t worry, even we will have to obey when the time comes, let alone them?” Yang Xuefeng glanced at Niu Ba and said, “It’s better to let Niufang Master make his position clear!”
Li Xianglan waved to Niu Ba, but Niu Ba had no choice but to hurry to her side. The conversation between Li Xianglan and Yang Xuefeng just now was so loud that people on both sides standing in front could hear it clearly. Of course Niu Ba was unwilling to do so, but the current situation was completely beyond his control. If he disagrees, it is obvious that Longfengmen will kill him directly without giving Longfengmen any face, or he will leave. If he agrees, the result will be that the gambling house becomes someone else's subordinate.
Niu Ba had seen the martial arts of the Li brothers and sisters, and could see that they were ruthless, so he did not dare to deny it on the spot. He could only say: "Mr. Yang, since the gambling house invited Miss Li to come forward, her words can naturally represent the Jinling Gambling House." Although he expressed his affirmation, he was a little clever. He was talking about the gambling house, not the people in the gambling house. His wishful thinking was that he would abandon the gambling house as a last resort, leave quietly with everyone, and start from scratch somewhere else!
Yang Xuefeng thought for a moment and then said to Li Xianglan: "Although the gambling house agreed, your Dragon and Phoenix Sect has not established a sect in Jinling at all, and its comings and goings are mysterious. Even if we win, where will we find you to fulfill your promise? You know, after all, we There is a restaurant!" Li Xianglan smiled slightly and said: "The leader of the Boat Gang is the leader of our Longmen sect, how can we not find us? Such a bet is actually an advantage for you. If you win, you can get the gambling house and the Boat Gang. We If you win, you will get a Yanyu Restaurant."
Yang Xuefeng hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is important, we must discuss it!" Li Xianglan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, we can wait for you for a while, but we must give you a reply as soon as possible!" Yang Xuefeng agreed, and then turned back. Arriving at Yang Xuelian's side. At the same time, Li Xianglan and Niu Ba also returned to Li Zhen.
Just now, after Li Xianglan made it clear that the losing side must obey the winning side's orders, Liangchen's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly said to Liu Shui: "Master, this matter is troublesome. It seems that I have to use the power of the government!" Liu Shui also felt that the situation was going on. Seriously, if these three factions merged into one, they would be a super powerful gang. Not only are they powerful in numbers, but they also basically control several industries in Jinling. Once they have other ideas, it will be difficult to deal with them! Liu Shui looked at Liangchen seriously and said, "Then what can you do to deal with it?"
Liangchen said: "There are two to three hundred people on either side, each with many masters. With more than ten of us alone, I'm afraid we can't stop them. We can only move the officers and soldiers here, and prohibit them from gambling in the name of not fighting privately. . The disputes between them will be decided by the government. If they disagree, then suppress them with force. Although they cannot be captured in one fell swoop, they can at least weaken their strength!"
Liu Shui thought to himself that this was the only way he could do it for now, so he said: "In that case, take a few people and rush to the Jiedushi Yamen immediately and ask the prefect to send troops to you!" Liangchen said: "Master, there is one more thing. If I You can’t rush back before they decide the winner, you have to stop them from continuing the competition no matter what. Before they decide the winner in the last game, you have to stop them and delay time!”
Liu Shui nodded and said: "Don't worry about this. In order to ensure your safety, I asked Mei Mei and Mr. Wan to escort you there." Liu Shui understood that these days are good times to deal with the prefect, and she is smart and resourceful and can adapt to changes. , I can only send her to mobilize troops to ensure nothing goes wrong. But Liangchen said: "The beautiful scenery must stay with you, otherwise I won't worry. There are not enough manpower here, and Mr. Wan, the bodyguard, should also stay. Please go with me, girls Huahao and Yueyuan. They are locals. Of course he’s familiar with shortcuts!”
Liu Shui knew that Liangchen was worried that she would not be able to get back in time. If Liu Shui intervened forcefully, he would definitely be besieged by these three parties. The beautiful scenery and Wanlilang's martial arts skills will definitely help Liu Shui. Although Hua Hao and Yue Yuan have greatly improved their martial arts under the guidance of Liu Shui, Qixia Sect and others, they are undoubtedly the weakest compared to others. It's very appropriate to escort Liangchen. Liu Shui always obeyed Liangchen's advice, so he immediately invited Wan Lilang and the two girls over and briefly explained the current arrangements.
Since Liu Shui had spoken, Wan Lilang naturally had no objection. Although Hua Hao and Yue Yuan were reluctant, they knew that Liang Chen had a heavy responsibility on this trip and could not afford to miss it. The two of them immediately agreed, saying that they would deliver the good news safely! Liu Shui was overjoyed and asked people to bring in the horses that the four men from Qixia had sent and gave them to Liangchen and the others. Liangchen and others did not dare to waste time, so they hurriedly mounted their horses, whipped and galloped away.
After Liangchen and the others left, Liu Shui called everyone together and told everyone the current situation. Liu Shui made it clear that if anyone does not want to participate in this matter, they can leave immediately. After all, they are very likely to be outnumbered and hold on until the officers and soldiers arrive, which is extremely risky. As soon as Liu Shui finished speaking, everyone expressed in unison that they would advance and retreat together with Liu Shui. Liu Shui was overjoyed and thanked everyone. He told everyone his plan in detail and told them to act according to the plan and not to act without authorization.
At the same time, everyone in Longfeng Sect was also discussing nervously. Baili Feng and Nangong Tao were very opposed and felt that they could not put their treasure on this competition. The White Lotus Sect has gone through several generations of the Yang family's exhaustive efforts to reach its current scale. If they fail in the competition, the Yang family's foundation will be destroyed. Yang Xuelian said: "Don't worry, I don't think there is anyone special on the other side. I believe we can win at least three of the five matches. We just have two more masters, Li Zhen and Li Xianglan, on the other side. Don't worry!" Yang Xuelian had originally intended to take over the gambling den, but now that she saw the opportunity to annex the Dragon and Phoenix Sect, she was naturally excited.
Although Ruoxue was also with Li Zhen, Yang Xuelian didn't know her, so she didn't take her seriously. After Ruoxue arrived in Jinling, she received personal guidance from the master of the Dragon and Phoenix Sect, and her martial arts had already greatly improved. In the last battle in Chengjiacun, if she hadn't met Liu Shui, she wouldn't have been captured so easily. After Ruoxue was released by Liu Shui, she has been practicing martial arts in seclusion recently, and her skills have been greatly improved. Today's Ruoxue may not be Yang Xuelian's opponent, but at least she is not much different from Yang Xuefeng.
Yang Xuelian has made up her mind, and it is natural that others in the White Lotus Sect will not be able to object. At this time, the discussion at Longfengmen was also completed, and Li Zhen said to Niu Ba: "Now that you and I have become a family, Master Niu should also contribute. In this first battle, Master Niu will fight in person. What do you think?" Niu Ba? At this time, it was hard to get off the tiger, so I had no choice but to agree. The two shopkeepers of the gambling house, Wu Meng and Lu Song, were dissatisfied and offered to fight on Niu Ba's behalf. Li Xianglan already knew that they had lost in the competition the day before yesterday, so she refused, claiming that the matter was too important to take risks.
Li Xianglan first wanted to completely tie Niu Ba to her side, and second, she wanted to see the strength and coping methods of the White Lotus Sect. Li Xianglan knew that with Niu Ba's martial arts skills, he could at least beat Baili Feng and Nangong Tao to a draw. If you can win, of course it's best. Even if they lose, there are still four games to come, and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect is still sure of winning! Li Xianglan estimated that the strongest opponents were Yang Xuelian, Yang Xuefeng, Baili Feng and Nangong Tao. He already has Niu Ba, Li Xing, Ruoxue, Li Zhen and his own five masters here, so he undoubtedly has an advantage.
Seeing Li Xianglan's insistence, Niu Ba stepped forward, came to the middle of the open space, and shouted to the opposite side: "Miss Yang, have you discussed it? Don't let me wait too long!" Yang Xuelian frowned when she saw that it was Niu Ba. frown. She had fought against Niu Ba the day before yesterday and knew that his martial arts skills were extremely high. Maybe she and her brother were the only ones who had a chance to defeat this man. Yang Xuelian secretly thought that this was the first battle and she had to win, otherwise the subsequent competitions would be more difficult. The day before yesterday, Baili Feng, and himself had already taken action, and their martial arts skills had all been seen by Niu Ba. Only Yang Xuefeng had not yet shown his martial arts.
Yang Xuelian then said to Yang Xuefeng: "Xuefeng, although this person's martial arts is strong, but have you seen his moves, are you sure about it?" Yang Xuefeng was unhappy that he didn't have the chance to show off his skills the day before yesterday. At this moment, when he heard his sister's question, he said with great joy: "Don't worry, sister, just leave it to me!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xuelian jumped up without waiting for Yang Xuelian's answer, and then came to Niu Ba and said: "Niu Ba Boss, if you escaped by chance the day before yesterday, you should hide at home and not come out. You have to be careful today, the matter is very important, and I will show no mercy to you!"
Niu Ba snorted coldly, said nothing, and drew his sword, but did not take action first. After all, in terms of age, Yang Xuefeng was a junior, so it was natural that Niu Ba would not make the first move, lest others laugh at him for bullying the younger ones. When Yang Xuefeng saw this, he was not polite. He pulled out his sword from his waist and slashed Niu Ba with a powerful swing. Niu Ba didn't move, he just waved his knife and slashed it out diagonally with the "Golden Peng Spreading Wings" move. This move was executed just right, and the tip of Yang Xuefeng's sword was ready to pierce.
But when he heard a "click", sparks flew everywhere, and Yang Xuefeng jumped up. Taking advantage of the rebound of Niu Ba's sword, he jumped up high, struck down in the air, and stabbed Niu Ba's vest. Niu Ba swung his knife back, and with another "Crack" sound, Yang Xuefeng flipped twice and landed on the ground. Niu Ba couldn't hold back his momentum, so he couldn't help but circle around twice before he regained his balance. Both sides used 80% of their internal strength, and Niu Ba was obviously slightly better. After all, Yang Xuefeng borrowed the power of volleying down the core. Yang Xuefeng secretly praised in his heart: "This person's internal strength is slightly stronger than mine, and he really has a lot of power! No wonder he can tie with my sister!"
Niu Ba also knew at this time that although the opponent's swordsmanship was exquisite, his internal strength was insufficient and he was not as good as Yang Xuelian. As soon as Yang Xuefeng's feet touched the ground, he raised his sword and attacked again. At this time, everyone knew that they had met a strong enemy and did not dare to underestimate the enemy. What's more, the future of the two factions was at stake, so both of them were very energetic. Niu Ba greeted him with his sword, and the two fought together. An attack is like a violent storm. A guard is like a copper wall and an iron wall.
The fight between the two became more and more intense. When the fight reached its peak, Yang Xuefeng's sword skills became more and more erratic, advancing like an ape moving branches, retreating like a dragon and snake running away. But after all, Niu Ba was well-informed and was ready to move his sword to protect his whole body. Yang Xuefeng's successive attacks were all neutralized one by one. In the blink of an eye, the two fought for nearly a hundred rounds, and they were indistinguishable.
