Chapter Thirty-Five: The Decisive Battle in Jiangxinzhou
The stone owner's troubles were not over yet. He received some bad news the next day before going to see Feng Guogong.
The abbots of more than a dozen temples in the capital jointly put pressure on Seng Lusi, saying that the Black Stone Organization had robbed the golden body of Lord Rama, the most precious Buddhist treasure, and asked the court to destroy the Black Stone and take back the golden body.
The current saint used to be a monk when he was a boy. He believes that Buddhism can be "saved by the King of Yin Yi" and "secretly assist Wang Gang". Therefore, he attaches great importance to the management of Buddhism and is willing to listen to the voice of Buddhism. Of course, whether he will adopt it or not is another matter.
.
The pressure from the monks was not a big deal, but what worried the stone master more was that the secret line arranged in Jin Yiwei spread the news that Jin Yiwei had obtained the official list of Black Stone.
Jin Yiwei and Heishi have always kept their peace, but this time they suddenly got involved. It is easy to make people wonder whether this is Jin Yiwei's own intention or the emperor's.
In addition, there are more and more rumors about Blackstone in the world. News that "the three masters of Blackstone are dead", "the King of Wheels is dead" and "Blackstone is about to disband" have spread in Nanjing.
Outside Blackstone's public contact points in the capital, there are already many spying high-rollers.
The stone master originally wanted to use the power of the black stone to force Li Shi and the others to surrender, but he did not expect that the first person who could not bear it was the black stone himself.
After taking a deep breath, the Stone Master went to see Feng Guogong.
When he came out of Feng Guogong's mansion, a brand new scar was clearly visible on his forehead, with a small amount of blood still remaining in the wound.
The stone master took the reins from his subordinates with a dark face and said, "Assemble all the good guys, gather at Haishi Jiangxinzhou!" Then he waved his whip and rode away.
Feng Guogong asked him to resolve these matters within two days. If he could not resolve them, he would go back to the palace.
Master Shi thought, if the problem is difficult to solve, it would be much easier to deal with the people who caused the trouble. He is quite confident in this point. Among the three sworn brothers, Cao Feng has the highest level of martial arts and has studied meridians and internal skills.
It's very deep, but when it comes to fighting, it's not the strongest.
…
At this time, most of Jiangxinzhou was still a wasteland, with weeds and shrubs half as tall as a man as far as the eye could see. Who would have thought that a few hundred years later, the average house price here would be more than 80,000 per square meter.
Those coming to the Blackstone appointment tonight are Li Shi, Zeng Jing, Jiang Asheng, and Tian Qingtong.
The night Ye Chanqing appeared, Tian Qingtong took the initiative to reveal his identity. He was one of the informants of Jinyiwei Qianhu Suzaku in the arena. He was asked to find a way to join Blackstone, but he accidentally fell in love with Lei Bin and became
Blackstone's family.
Between family and Jin Yiwei, Tian Qingtong decisively chose family.
And she happened to know that Heishi was an undercover agent lurking in the Jinyi Guards. This undercover agent was the clue she found from Lei Bin. Tian Qingtong knew the intelligence systems on both sides, so after some operations, the undercover agent accidentally
Got the news that "Jinyiwei obtained the list of Blackstone officials".
Jiang Asheng visited a junior official in the Ministry of Punishment who was involved in the "Guo Huan case" in the same year as the provincial examination. From this person, Jiang Asheng learned about some of the troubles in the court today, so he came up with "
The Blackstone Killer assassinated Ding Ting" happened.
It was Li Shi who broke into the Blackstone stronghold, and Lei Bin told him the location of the stronghold.
As for the actions of the temples in the capital, it was Zeng Jing who came forward to persuade Zong Ying who was still in Jiming Temple.
In the end, they still had to fight Blackstone, and they had to hurt Feng Guogong once and for all to make him understand that continuing to tangle with Li Shi and others would do more harm than good.
A red firework appeared over Jiangxinzhou, pointing out the location of the black stone to everyone.
Everyone walked towards the direction of the fireworks, being careful and vigilant all the way. They could find some people ambushing around, but these people did not attack or show up. Blackstone still followed the rules of the world, and the closer to the location, the fewer killers there were in Blackstone.
Over a hundred meters away, these killers can no longer be sensed.
Five of the top masters from Black Stone came. Except for Ye Chanqing, Li Shi didn't recognize the other four.
Zeng Jing pointed at one of the young men holding a long gun, "Looking at the style of the gun, he may be the son of Shenzhen. It is said that his marksmanship is better than that of his father."
The Divine Catcher is not a government catcher, but a first-class master who has been famous for a long time. He is called the Divine Catcher because of his extremely high success rate in finding and arresting people, which makes him an iron bamboo gun.
When Zeng Jing entered Huizhou from Shaanxi, she was surrounded by gods, killer bears, man-eating bears, hags, and ghost grandsons, but she was killed by Zeng Jing alone.
And the little god catcher stands on the outermost side of the five Black Stones, and his martial arts is probably the lowest among the five.
What was more surprising was Ye Chanqing. She was standing to the right of the person in the middle, but with her martial arts skills she shouldn't be standing so far forward.
Her clothes were more gorgeous than a few days ago. In addition to the cloak, the clothes underneath her were also very beautiful silk dresses.
The man in position C looks to be in his forties, with a tall build. He is wearing a neat coarse cloth suit and a slightly loose cloth bag on his back.
Li Shi noticed at a glance that this man had no beard.
The man's eyes passed over Li Shi and others, and finally his eyes fell on Zeng Jing's face, "Introduce yourself, the new leader of Blackstone, Cao Rui."
Li Shi was speechless, his name was really Cao Rui.
Is it so easy for the old Cao family of the Ming Dynasty to produce eunuchs with high martial arts skills? What is the relationship between Cao Shaoqin and you two hundred years later?
"You have caused me a lot of trouble recently, but the Za family can be considered a gangster now, so let's understand these things according to the rules of the gangsters."
Zeng Jing: "The difference between victory and defeat is the difference between life and death."
Cao Rui: "The sword has no eyes, so how can it only determine victory or defeat? It is better to show no mercy and decide life and death."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked solemn. Li Shi and the four of them were okay, they were already prepared.
But not everyone of the five people opposite had such thoughts. Ye Chanqing's eyes were darting wildly, and it seemed that he was not as confident as he had shown a few days ago.
Cao Rui's behavior was beyond Li Shi's expectations. He was simple and straightforward, not engaging in conspiracy, and did not look like a eunuch at all.
Alas, why did I even scold myself?
However, this Cao Rui is a bit like Cao Feng. They both have an inexplicable self-confidence and want to take control of the situation as soon as they appear. No, he is like a referee in a martial arts competition, starting to arrange the two sides.
Cao Rui looked back at his men, "Is there anyone you want to fight?"
"I want to fight Xiaoyu!"
"Drizzle is mine!"
Ye Chanqing and Xiaoshenqing took a step forward at the same time.
The little god raised his gun and said, "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"
Ye Chanqing was too lazy to look at him: "Go away!"
"You!" The little god was about to step forward to argue, but when he saw Cao Rui waving his hand, "Yes! Stone Master!" he had to stand back bitterly and turned to stare at Zeng Jing.
Cao Rui looked at Zeng Jing, "Is that okay?"
Zeng Jing nodded.
Cao Rui's eyes signaled a big man on the left to come out. This big man was almost the same size and shape as Cao Rui. Even his face shape was very similar, but he had an extra beard than Cao Rui.
Cao Rui pointed at the big man and said, "This is the boss of the Four Fierce Men in Huainan. He would like to ask about the martial arts of the Wudang Sect disciples."
The Four Fierces of Huainan are famous masters in the green forest, and they wield a single sword. The eldest, Fierce God, is ranked among the top masters, and his martial arts skills are not inferior to those of the Kongtong Purple Sword.
He stands on the left side of Cao Rui, and is obviously the number one master under Cao Rui in Black Rock.
Jiang Asheng nodded in agreement.
Tian Qingtong's opponent is a man who uses an iron whip.
Finally, Cao Rui looked at Li Shi and said, "Let me learn about Li Shi's fast sword."
I saw him untying the cloth bag on his back and taking out a pair of shimmering silver hooks with tiger heads.
