Feng Ying did not expect that Liang Ping would bring up the matter of manpower. He and Wang Feng had not discussed this matter before. He did not dare to make the decision without permission. He could only say that after returning home, he would discuss it with the boss as soon as possible and inform Lu Lu of the result. Lu Lu nodded and agreed. . Shangguan Qi used the excuse that the Iron Fist Gang did not have many people in the capital and he could only bring twenty people there. In the end, Feiyun said that he also invited a dozen friends from the world to help. This brings us to nearly one hundred and ninety people.
Lu Lu was secretly happy that this number of people had exceeded his expectations. He originally estimated that the total number of these sects was only a hundred people at most.
Lu Hu thanked everyone, and then said: "As you all know, our gang has a large number of people in the capital. But there are many low-level disciples with limited martial arts skills. However, I have selected ① a hundred good players among them to participate in tomorrow's action. . In this way, we will have more than 200 people, and we can definitely deal with Fengtang!"
There are so many people from the Beggar Gang, and no one else has anything to say. Only Feng Ying felt embarrassed, thinking that everyone must secretly look down on the Golden Sword Sect. The Golden Sword Sect is known as the largest sect in the capital, but at such a critical moment in the martial arts world in the capital, they behaved like this, and everyone was naturally disdainful even though they didn't say it in their mouths.
Seeing that the matter had been discussed almost, Lu Lu asked all the factions to go back and make preparations. They would gather at the Lotus Inn in the east of the city on time tomorrow morning. No one had any objections. Lu Hu, Qin Ying, and Luo Shan sent everyone to the door and watched the heroes go away.
Feiyun waited for everyone to leave before leaving the City God's Temple. It was already past noon when he returned to the trading house with Liangchen, Mingzhu, Ma Xiong and Tianxiang. After lunch, Feiyun brought Tianxiang, Liangchen, and Meijin to the singing and dancing restaurant, hoping to ask Charming Girl, Ding Gu and others to help.
When Wu Mei heard that Feiyun and others were coming, she quickly invited the three Feiyuns and the others to meet in the backyard. After Feiyun saw the charming girl, he briefly talked about Fengtang.
Feiyun then said straight to the point: "Fengtang has publicly called for battle in the martial arts community in the capital. There will definitely be a dragon-tiger fight tomorrow. Judging from the current situation, we have invited many masters to help, which should be more than enough to deal with Fengtang. I wonder if the girl is willing to help. Can we help each other?"
Naturally, Wu Mei didn't want to help Wu Zetian, but she didn't want to directly refute Feiyun's face. She hesitated for a moment and then said: "Originally I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now that Lin Shaoxia has spoken, I can only help you. I will take Ru Shi and Ru Hua to follow you in secret tomorrow. If you are in danger, we will show up to help you." .If everything goes well with you, we won’t show up.”
Feiyun thought that Wu Mei just didn't want to be in the limelight and was afraid that Fengtang would cause trouble in the future. Feiyun saw that she had made up her mind, so he couldn't say anything else and had to leave it to her.
Feiyun talked to Wu Mei and others for a while, and before they knew it, it was almost dusk. The four of Feiyun said goodbye to Wu Mei and went straight to the Luling Palace. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with red clouds. Feiyun and Tianxiang walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the Luling Palace.
Feiyun and others entered the hall and met Li Xian and Ximen Shan. After the four people sat down, Li Xian asked: "Young Master Lin, what is the result of your discussions with the various martial arts factions? Do you want me to send troops to help as a surprise?"
Feiyun quickly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, all factions have agreed to jointly deal with Fengtang. We already have enough manpower, so I don't think there is any need to send officers and soldiers. If the other party notices that officers and soldiers are dispatched, they may escape early, and they will fall short like last time. .”
Li Xian hummed, and then said: "I know you are afraid of leaking secrets, so you don't want the government to get involved. I have asked the emperor for instructions, and she decided to let Liu Qiong and Jin Ding help you. You see when I will bring them here Meet you?"
Feiyun is friends with Liu Qiong and Jin Ding, and knows that the couple is very reliable and must not be spies. Feiyun thought for a while and said, "I think we can let the couple go directly to the Lotus Inn tomorrow to meet us."
Li Xian said: "There is no problem with this, but how many people do they need to send each? You have to give me a clear answer so that I can inform them immediately."
Feiyun replied: "Now that many masters have agreed to fight, they don't need to send many people. But just in case, I think it's better for the Ximen family to stay and protect the palace."
When Ximen Shan heard that Feiyun wanted to keep people, he said: "Boy Yun, just have me and Luo Chuan here with the guards. Don't keep anyone else. Your place is a key place, so it's best to bring more people."
Feiyun smiled slightly and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I have already planned it, and there are enough experts to go there, so I won't suffer any loss."
Even though Feiyun said that, he actually didn't want the Ximen family to take risks. Besides, the Luling Palace was also very important. Feiyun was worried that someone would take the opportunity to assassinate Li Xian.
Liangchen continued: "Everyone, we are confident enough to defeat Fengtang. Tomorrow Shangguanqi will definitely take the Iron Palm Gang masters to the Lotus Inn. He will not let go of this opportunity to show his power in front of the martial arts people in the capital. In this way Come, together with other experts from various factions, we will have enough manpower.”
Feixiang smiled and said: "Fourth sister, Miss Liangchen is still smart and thoughtful."
Tianxiang said: "Third sister, Liangchen is our female Zhuge. We have to listen to her on many things, even Brother Shui is no exception."
Princess Wei said in surprise: "That's it, Miss Liangchen, it's because I can't see Mount Tai."
Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "Princess, don't listen to sister Yingtianxiang's nonsense. I'm not that powerful. I just have some weird ideas occasionally. Please be careful and ask my elder brother to get them!"
Feiyun heard that they were talking further and further away, and quickly waved his hand to stop their chat, and turned to Li Xian and said: "Your Highness, you can send someone to inform Liu Qiong and his wife, but they must make an appointment to set off together. With my fellow sect's Come to me in name."
Li Xian said: "There is no problem with this. I have already discussed it with them." After saying that, he immediately asked Luo Chuan to inform them. Luo Chuan stood up and left as ordered.
Feiying saw that Feiyun didn't mention his name, so he asked: "Brother, what about me?" Feiyun said: "Brother, you still have to follow His Highness. You also know that even if Fengtang can't solve it this time , we have another chance. But His Highness cannot make any mistakes. With you protecting him, I can rest assured." Feiying knew that Feiyun was right, so he could only sigh: "I originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, and Feng After a discussion with the masters in the hall, it seems that it is difficult to achieve what we want."
Tianxiang comforted: "Brother, there are so many masters in the world, are you afraid that you won't have a chance? When this matter is over, you can ask Brother Lin to fight with you more, can't you make up for it?" Of course Tianxiang doesn't want his elder brother to be like this. He was competitive, but it was inconvenient to speak out in front of everyone, so he introduced Feiyun as a shield. Upon hearing this, Feiying understood Tianxiang's intention and had no choice but to stop talking.
Feiyun saw that it was getting late and he had important things to do tomorrow, so he took Tianxiang and the others back to the trading house.
Early the next morning, everyone was ready. Feiyun finished explaining and was about to set off with everyone when he saw Ma Xiong and Mingzhu running over in their best suits.
Ma Xiong came to Feiyun and said: "Liu Linxia, our father and daughter discussed it and thought it would be better to go with you. After all, we participated in the alliance yesterday and we are the sufferers. It would be inappropriate if we did not show up today. . But don’t worry, we will definitely listen to your arrangements and we will never make any random remarks or actions."
Feiyun was a little embarrassed and felt that Ma Xiong was right. But Feiyun was worried about their safety. Seeing this, Liangchen said: "Brother, it's okay for Master Ma to go. If Fengtang refuses to admit his guilt, Master Ma can come forward to testify. We don't want the father and daughter to take action at that time. We will just stay behind with Miss Lian'er." Together. If a fight breaks out, they can also give Lian'er a helping hand." Feiyun saw Liangchen speaking for them, so he had no choice but to agree, but asked them not to act impulsively.
Everyone got on their horses and left the trading house. Feiyun rode his horse and walked towards Desheng Tower. Liangchen said hurriedly: "Master, you are going the wrong way!" Liu Shui looked back and said: "I want to go to Desheng Tower first and ask Feiyan and Feique to go with us, in case the White Lotus teachings fail. If you don't have faith, you won't miss the promise. We can let them lead the way and go straight to the White Lotus Sect's lair." Liangchen nodded and said, "The young master has thought carefully." Liu Shui smiled and didn't reply. He took the lead like a riding whip, Hong Yinghe Liangchen and others followed closely behind.
There were not many pedestrians in the morning, so everyone was able to let their horses gallop. Feiyun and others walked out of the east gate in the morning light. They all galloped their horses and whips, and soon arrived near the Lotus Inn. Feiyun looked forward and saw many people standing in front of the inn. When a disciple of the Beggar Clan saw Liu Shui and his entourage arriving, they stepped forward and said, "Young hero, Elder Lu of our gang is waiting in front!"
Feiyun nodded and followed forward while saying: "Thank you, brother. I didn't expect Elder Lu to bring you here so early." The Beggar Gang disciple said: "In fact, our gang has already been around as soon as it gets dark. , spent the night in the nearby woods."
Feiyun asked in surprise: "Why did Elder Lu do this? Isn't it too hard for you?" The disciple smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your concern, young hero. We are just a group of beggars, and we are used to the sky being our quilt." , the days when the ground was used as a bed. Sleeping in the open all night is naturally a very troublesome thing for others, but for our gang, it is a common occurrence. Elder Lu was worried that the White Lotus Sect was secretly causing harm, so he took us to sleep nearby. One night." Feiyun said gratefully: "It's really difficult for you." The Beggar Clan disciple smiled and said no more.
After a while, Feiyun and others saw Lu Rover, Qin Ying, and Luo Shan approaching. Feiyun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the three of them: "Elder Lu, Chief Qin, and Chief Luo, thank you for your hard work." Lu Hu and the other two saluted back: "Young hero, you are too polite. Our gang is responsible for this matter. Convener, this is what it should be. Please take all the heroes aside to have a rest, and wait for the other factions to gather before discussing together." Lu Hu saw that although there were not many people brought by Liu Shui, they were all in high spirits. You can tell at a glance that most of them are experts, so naturally they don’t dare to neglect them. Feiyun saw that they were also very busy, so it was inconvenient to introduce them one by one. Feiyun nodded in agreement and led everyone aside.
