Chapter 177 Insiders, Outsiders
Chapter 177 Insider, Outsider
In the past few days, Murong Villa and Xiao Qinhuai have been clinging to each other, which means that they have no extra strength to protect the order of the competition. Therefore, no matter which one succeeds or fails in the fight for hegemony in Huainan, it is likely to bring about other unnecessary consequences - everyone It is clear that if the Jin people take action on the day of the decisive victory, they, the Song people, will all be losers. However, at this juncture, how can they stop when they say they want to stop, and quit when they say they want to quit? If they do that, it will not show that they are two great leaders. The gangs are afraid of the Jin people, but they also happen to play into the Jin people's hands!? In the last scene, whether to compete or not, the small gangs in Huainan are already showing signs of differentiation. You think about it before and after, but you only feel that it is difficult. Master, master, it turns out that the dream has come true. There are so many obstacles... In the past, you could still hope for Shen Zhuang's power to deter you. Who can you rely on now...
Bai Lu, who had arrived in Beigu Mountain for the first time, sat across from Jun Qian and understood his hidden worries: "Can we invite Huainan Tianqian here? He is the only one who can solve this crisis."
Jun Qian was stunned: "Bai Li Sheng? A few days ago, I heard that there was something going on in the Dandao Valley. Liu Wujin left in a hurry and didn't know where he went. Bai Li Sheng is even more difficult to determine..."
"Did Gang Leader Li happen to be talking about me?" Suddenly a deep voice rang in his ears. Everyone in front of Jun and Bailu was startled. The slightly disguised person in front of him was Baili Sheng. Who was it? Jun Qian was overjoyed and wanted to get up. Bai Lisheng He sat down and blocked them with his arms: "Don't let the news of my arrival go out yet. I'm waiting for the Jin people to take action to catch them all."
Jun Qianxiao asked: "Why did Baili Gang Leader come to Huainan? In the past, when Huainan had an annual martial arts competition, Baili Gang Leader stayed out of the game..." Baili Sheng smiled: "Yes, at that time, all the big and small gangs in Huainan were dissatisfied. Talking about my difficulties with Baili Sheng, in fact, there is no need to come to the bureau. But this year, three people have already greeted me in advance and asked me to pay attention to this competition. How dare I not come? "
"Three people?" Bai Lu was stunned.
Baili Sheng nodded and said sternly: "The geniuses Xu Yuan, Liu Wujin, and one more, Yun Lan, who just met me a few days ago. The three of them are so big, I can't help but come."
Jun Qian secretly admired him in his heart. Yes, he only saw that there were many Jin people, but he forgot that their power was also vast and vast. Although these three people were not in the local area, what they were doing was not related to the struggle for hegemony in Huainan?!
"I don't know how many people came from Baili Gang Leader?" Li Junqian asked.
Baili Sheng took a sip of wine and whispered: "Everyone you can see in front of you is our people."
Jun went to the tavern and looked around. The gang was dressed normally, and it was impossible to tell that they belonged to the same gang. Jun was overjoyed, but he obeyed his words and remained calm. Baili Sheng slightly winked at someone at the table. He was still sitting in the same place, but he smiled and nodded in front of Li Jun: "Li is acting gang leader, right? I have admired him for a long time..."
"Who is this?"
"I am the deputy of Brother Baili. My name is Jiang Weixin. I have heard a lot about Li acting as gang leader. It is better to meet him than to be famous!" Jiang Weixin is only in his twenties. It is not easy to sit in the position of deputy gang leader. "Is Lin Qian here too?"
Li Junqian was slightly startled, Baili Sheng also changed his expression slightly, and asked in a low voice: "I have never met Lin Qian now. Recently, rumors about his love affair have spread all over the sky. This is not good. In your opinion, he and Chuanyu, who is more worthy of the Drinking Hate Knife?" Li Junqian could hear some of Baili Sheng's doubts and disbelief: "Actually, I admire him very much, the leader of the Short Knife Valley, he does his duty."
Baili Sheng never expected that he would have such a high opinion, and was stunned: "His popularity is really good, everyone from Xu Yuan to you said so." Li Junqian smiled slightly: "The words of Baili Gang leader are wrong, he can be We are sure that it is not because of his popularity, but because of how he behaves and treats others. It is difficult to describe all aspects of his career in the world, and you have to get in touch to understand it." Baili Sheng nodded and laughed, he was a very simple person: "Okay, okay, okay , whether he relies on his life experience and whether he can be a leader is a matter of the future, I will wait and see."
Before the finals, a sunny day was chosen. Shen Yan, Sheng Nan, and Yun Yan went to Jinshan for sightseeing together. Sheng Nan knew that Yun Yan's home was near Jinshan. When she saw her hitting the tip of a spear, she really admired her courage. Yun Yan said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of with these two heroes? Besides, Jinshan is so big, how can we definitely meet them?"
"Oh, by the way, Miss Yun is from Jingkou..." Shen Yan nodded, "But, I came out specifically for sightseeing today, and I didn't bring any weapons..."
Yun Yan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. There are not many guards in my family who are better than yours in martial arts." Like a bird out of its cage, she happily rode her horse on the trails of Zhenjiang. She led the three of them to the world-famous When traveling to Jinshan and Shengnan, Shen Yan was lucky enough to see the best spring in the world - Zhongling Spring. Yun Yan explained: "This spring is not only delicious, but it is also a wonder in Jingkou. Fill a cup and put the copper coins in the water." , the copper coin floats on the water surface without sinking, and the water does not overflow. Therefore, it is a genuine product from the spring."
"Oh? Really?" Just as he was about to try out the characteristics of Lingquan, he suddenly heard a commotion in the tea village. The three of them screamed in surprise. Injustice was everywhere. It turned out that a large group of mobs beat and insulted a little beggar. When Yun Yan saw this scene, she felt righteous. She immediately stepped forward and kicked the person closest to her in the face. The person was caught off guard and fell down limply. Shen Yan held up his palm and smiled and said: "It turns out that Miss Yun is also brave in seeing justice. So awesome..."
Shengnan defeated the group of strong men with three strikes, five and two, without Shen Yan's help. I just lamented that in troubled times, if you have martial arts, you have to fight in groups to compete for status, just like the struggle for hegemony in Huainan, but if you don't have martial arts, you have to be bullied in a corner of Jinshan!
Yun Yan turned around to help the little beggar. The little beggar cried bitterly and refused to speak. The teahouse owner sighed repeatedly: "I'm afraid you don't know that since a group of people with martial arts arrived half a month ago, these gangsters have become proud. He got up and bullied us ordinary people and businessmen all day long, causing trouble almost every day! Later, he even established a stronghold and became the king..."
Yun Yan groaned: "Establishing a stronghold to crown the king? They don't know that the Ye family not far away is a powerful family, so how dare they be so presumptuous?"
Just as he was talking and passing through a gust of wind, a dart almost grazed Yunyan's ear. Yunyan turned her head to look. As soon as the person from the same side came face to face, both sides screamed.
"It's you!" A harsh voice was heard. As soon as Shengnan saw this person, he felt familiar. It turned out that the leader of this group of martial arts practitioners was Li Bianzhi of Cangwushan, who had met in Huangtiandang!
"What? You're not worthy of competing in Beigu Mountain, so you come here to claim the title of king?" Shengnan asked coldly.
Li Bianzhi clapped his hands, and a large group of people immediately gathered around him: "Last time we were outnumbered, God allowed me to meet you again! Just in time for revenge! Miss Yun, you are destined not to be my senior brother's, you are destined to be Mrs. Li!" Yun Yanda said Angry, sneered: "You? Are you afraid that you are not taller than me?" Li Bianzhi was furious and reached out to squeeze Yun Yan's wrist. Yun Yan retracted her hand and punched him, which was obviously just a trick, Li Bianzhi laughed. "If you don't eat the soft ones, you can eat the hard ones!" A palm struck her chest. Yun Yan was startled and hurriedly avoided it. She suddenly stretched out a palm from a diagonal path and grabbed Li Bian's hand sharply. Yun Yan had just recognized it. It was Shen Yan. A dagger suddenly appeared from Li Bianzhi's sleeve, and he cut Shen Yan's wrist severely. Shen Yan was furious and kicked Li Bian away all the way. Li Bianzhi got up. "Everyone, go up and arrest these three!" I don't know how many people there were in the group, but they didn't know what kind of people they were. Shengnan unsheathed his swords, and the thieves fainted wherever they passed. , Shengnan did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him, and returned the sword to its sheath. Half of the thieves were injured and the other half were stunned.
Yun Yan hurriedly looked at Shen Yan's wounds, while Sheng Nan stared at Li Bianzhi's frightened face: "Li Bianzhi, it would be great if Cangwu Mountain had fewer scum like you and more talents like Yue Feng. Got it!"
Li Bianzhi smiled grimly: "Yingcai? Is he still a talent? A disaster that killed his parents, and the disaster that killed his master is still called a talent?" Shengnan was shocked: "What did you say?"
Li Bianzhi snorted: "What do you think I am doing here in Jingkou? Last time on the way back from Huangtiandang, the master was suddenly killed. Everyone found out that it was him who did it. He didn't dare to show his face. He must be hiding somewhere in Huainan!" Mr. Lin, you are mistaken! I am not a scum, and he is not a genius either!"
Although Shengnan was surprised, she still couldn't help but want to threaten him: "How ridiculous. You came to Jingkou to make the king the king just to find him?! Li Bianzhi, I warn you, don't go around doing bad things under the banner of Cangwu Mountain. You'd better not make a big deal out of it, and get out of Jingkou as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Bianzhi had no other way to go, so he ran away with his tail between his legs in despair.
At the inn at night, Yun Yan bandaged Shen Yan's wound. Seeing that he was fine, she thanked him with a smile: "Shen Daxia, you have saved me time and time again, and there is really no way I can repay you..." Shen Yan blushed, fearing that she would say "I I wanted her to say something like "I'm going to marry you," but I was worried about ruining such a good relationship, so I had to change the subject elsewhere: "Shengnan, how did you deal with those bandits?" Shengnan said: "I asked them all to do it. I packed up and left. I didn’t ask about Yue Feng in detail, I hope it’s not too big..."
Yun Yan nodded: "I don't want Yue Feng to kill anyone either."
Shengnan stood up: "Everyone is tired, let's go to bed? By the way, Miss Yun has been suffering from colds and coughs these past few days, so please pay more attention."
Yun Yan smiled: "Okay, okay, a minor illness is nothing!"
Shengnan still couldn't sleep late at night. It was impossible that he didn't want to explore what happened to Yue Feng, but why did he put Li Bianzhi on the sidelines? In fact, he really didn't want to get involved in the final battle of Huainan's hegemony. A chaotic incident occurred. Cangwu Mountain in Haizhou belongs to the Anti-Golden Alliance. If Li Bianzhi had not gone to Jinshan to cause trouble first and then went to Beigu Mountain to expose the matter, I am afraid that not only Yue Feng's matter would be difficult to resolve, Huainan would also be in even greater chaos. Sheng Sheng Nan was just introduced by Jun Qian and Bai Li Sheng yesterday. He knew that it was the best way to put Li Bianzhi on the outside and Bai Li Sheng on the inside.
Suddenly, he saw a dark shadow flashing past under the eaves. Shengnan was immediately alert, and immediately used Qinggong to chase after him.
The view of Jinshan Temple is extremely clear from here.
Shengnan stopped because the man had just stopped.
"How is it? Is the princess in Beigu Mountain?"
"The princess has appeared in Beigu Mountain, most likely in Jingkou!"
"The princess also has a minor illness..."
Shengnan was shocked—Princess? Princess of Jin Kingdom? Beigu Mountain?
He suddenly remembered a woman - Yun Yan! He doubted her for the second time: she had a minor illness recently...
There was a feeling of fear in his heart: No, is it true?
Another wasted day passed, and when night fell, the three of them walked to the Beigu Mountain Inn. Yunyan yawned and shivered. It was obvious that her condition had worsened. Shen Yan took off his cloak and put it on her: "Be careful, don't turn around if you catch a cold. A serious illness..." His concern was beyond words.
Seeing that Shen Yan had been watching Yun Yan go back to her room, Sheng Nan asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Shen Yan smiled mysteriously: "Sheng Nan, what does it feel like to like someone?"
Shengnan was stunned: "Ah?"
Shen Yan said: "You like Miss Lan, do you think about her twelve hours a day and want to protect her? That's how I feel about Miss Yun..."
Shengnan was shocked: "What?"
Shen Yan smiled: "I'm in love with Miss Yun!"
Shengnan was stunned, then thought: Maybe the Princess of Jin and Miss Yun were just a coincidence. She knew so much about Jingkou and spoke the Jingkou dialect, how could she be a princess from Jin!
So he hugged Shen Yan playfully: "When will you reveal your feelings to her?"
Shen Yan was reserved: "Grow it slowly..."
Sheng Nan chuckled: "Okay, okay, I can be a matchmaker if necessary... That girl Yin'er likes to say that I am a dog that catches mice. Now it seems that I really have that little bit..."
"Lin Qian..." Suddenly someone called him from behind. Shengnan turned around and saw that the man in the corner was Baili Sheng, whom the Jin people still didn't know.
"What's the matter? Leader Baili?" Shengnan walked over.
"I want to ask you, have you ever considered a question..." Baili Sheng said.
"What's the problem?"
"A year ago, when the Yinhen Dao was still in Lan Yuhan's hand, I heard Liu Wujin say that Xue Huan Jie Tao had attacked Lan Yuhan, and I felt something was wrong. One of them was the best in Jinbei, and the other was in Jinbei. Third, you could have taken the two swords away, so why did you leave the two swords in the Lan Mansion, waiting for you guys to find them?"
Sheng Nan was stunned. He slightly remembered that night when Lan Yuhan was caught, he immediately chased after him and saw Xue Huan and Xie Tao. There was a gap in time. This gap was that Lan Yuhan disappeared in the middle... If Baili Sheng Without mentioning it, Sheng Nan would naturally feel that his pursuit made Xie Tao give up Lan Yuhan immediately, but now that he thought about it, Xie Tao had this time to give up Lan Yuhan, and even more time to get the Yinhen Knife, why not How about taking the Drinking Hate Knife away on the spot?
"Clan leader Baili is right. Looking back now, Xue Huan and Xie Tao wanted to drag the Lan family into trouble and deliberately gave the Drinking Hate Knife to Lan Yuhan. Although the Lan family is related to Liu Jun, they have always chosen neutrality. , does not belong to the Jin people, nor does it belong to our anti-Jin alliance, but Liu Jun obviously wants to pull him over, otherwise he would not be able to condone the Lan family to interfere with the Drinking Hate Knife."
"Yes, the purpose of the Jin people is very clear. They told us an illusion: they used the Lan family to snatch the Drinking Hate Knife. The Lan family got all the stolen goods, so it was obviously impossible to remain neutral. Wu Jin and Lu Ping knew it in their hearts and did not make any publicity. I came out because I was afraid that the birds would really drive away the Lan family..."
Shengnan frowned: "The Jin people deliberately win over the Lan family..."
"The Lan family has a low status, so why should we win over the Lan family?" Bai Lisheng sneered, "Don't forget, Lan Yuze was a proud woman at that time. In order for Liu Jun to control us, Lan Yuze was very good. A bridge! This is why Xu Yuan and Yuze always maintained a certain distance back then... Lin Qian, do you understand what I mean? "
Sheng Nan said angrily: "I never imagined that you, Huainan Tianqian Baili Sheng, are also a villain!"
Baili Sheng was stunned, and Sheng Nan continued to scold: "The reason why Tianjiao neglected Yuze is not because of Liu Jun. Don't make any assumptions. Yuze has nothing to do with this matter. Even if someone wants to take advantage of her, she has nothing to do with it." Being so stupid is being taken advantage of. It is true that the affairs of the Lan family are full of flaws, but it is not as dirty as you think! I really doubt how you got this Huainan Tianmao?!"
Baili Sheng listened, sweating profusely: "You, what did you say? Aren't you afraid of offending me and asking me to leave?!"
"You came here not to rescue the deadlock but to show off as a hero? Then what's the use of your coming? Just leave. You are far from the Huainan moat in my heart. I would rather invite people from Shen Village to come back to protect the competition. Don’t trust your victory or defeat in the valley of short swords.”
Baili Sheng burst out laughing, and this time it was Shengnan's turn to be stunned.
Baili Sheng smiled and said: "Back then, I used Lan Yuze and Liu Jun's relationship to test Tianjiao, and he scolded me like this. Lin Qian, you are so brave, dare to call me a despicable villain in this troubled year, but to say the least Also, if I am really that dirty, I can’t protect you even if I come here..."
Shengnan rubbed the back of his head and realized that Baili Sheng was just testing him. He couldn't help but smile. Only Baili Sheng like this was worthy of staying in the game.
"You have to handle your relationship with Lan Zhiliang well. Who taught his daughter to be so powerful, and to make the most important people in the martial arts trust and love her so much every time..."
Shengnan nodded: "I understand, Lord Baili, don't worry, I will help the Xianyun faction to guard against letting the Jin people take advantage of the situation. But having said that, my future father-in-law seems to be very cute..."
Baili Sheng asked with a smile: "Oh? How cute? Is he as cute as that old boy Liu Wujin? Not long ago we were joking about how Xu Yuan would get along with him in the future. His level of being a father-in-law will definitely give Tianjiao a headache. "
