Chapter 1: The Man Who Blocks the Road

The autumn is strong.

The separation is sad.

A glass of wine.

All kinds of emotions.

Late autumn is the season of harvest and also the season of separation.

On that day, a carriage slowly walked out on the main road outside Luoyang City.

This person who drove the car was amazing. He was the son of the "Eight Desolations Fist Saint", and his name was Lei Buji.

As the saying goes, a strange person must have a strange ability. Although Lei Buji is only sixteen years old this year, he looks like a thirty-year-old man. Just say how capable he is, right?

Of course, if you want to be able, the two people sitting in the carriage are even more powerful.

One of them is called Sun Yixie and the other is called Huang Donglai.

At the "Youth Heroes Club" in Yongtai's 18th year, which just ended not long ago, the two won the Palace Army and the other entered the top 16.

This ranking...it doesn't seem to be awesome at first, but in fact it's not the point.

The point is that the series of operations of "strangling the organizer", Ji Shi Gu Qiying, Da Tianqi Gang, and Zhijian rescue of the martial arts heroes made most of the martial arts world owe them a big favor overnight.

After this battle, the two of them suddenly became the first to emerge from two unknown people to rookies with reputations in all directions. Even Lin Yuancheng, who won the championship in the Heroes Club and shined in the battle with Gu Qiying, was not as popular as them at this time.

But to be honest... they are not very happy now.

Mr. Ben Parker, a well-known spiritual mentor, once said—“with great power comes great responsibility”.

That is, "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

It is precisely because of their active performance during this Youth Heroes Conference that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai have had a lot of trouble later.

First of all, it is about the final work of the "Epidemic Gu".

This matter was easy to deal with. On the fifth day after the war, on August 21, the Gu Sects who stayed in Luoyang gathered together again. Huang Donglai shook the Gu bell. As a result... the Gu did not attack again, which confirmed that the method of removing Gu that Huang Donglai told them was correct.

The heroes of the martial arts world were also very happy on the spot. One of the deputy heads of a small sect ran forward and held Huang Donglai's hand in tears and said, "It's been five days... five days! Do you know how I spent these five days! Do you know!"

Obviously, the method of removing the Gu is not very comfortable...

But this is natural. If you get sick, take medicine, but the medicine is still bitter. If you get infected, you have to relieve the Gu, but you still have to suffer?

So, Brother Huang quoted the famous quote from the high-level lord of Tadalin, Alanak, and answered the other party: "Comfortable... are all things to coax children, only pain and torture are the true meaning of life."

The senior was shocked after hearing this and almost blurted out and called Brother Huang at the young man who was seventeen or eighteen years old in front of him. Fortunately, there were many big men from other sects next to him, and he finally held back.

In short, after getting to know Gu, I will then "explain" things to the official.

Although in this universe, the government's attitude towards the world is basically "the world is in the world", as Shui Hanyi said in the previous article - no matter you, just don't care, if you want to take care of it, you can take care of anything.

Not to mention anything else, just say whether Sun Yixi set fire to the Tianqi Gang headquarters. Is it a "river and lake matter"? It's okay if you want to say yes, but you have to go into detail. If the fire is not controlled in time, what will happen to the people around you? If there is another possibility... it is not impossible to burn half of the city.

According to the great law, if anyone who privately reports to heaven and prays for fire, he will be 80 sticks. If he sets fire, he will burn the houses of officials and government warehouses and the warehouses of officials, and the objects accumulated by officials will be killed.

What does it mean? If you accidentally cause a fire when burning incense and worshiping Buddha at home, you will have to hit you at 80. If you set fire on purpose, it will definitely be a sin to lose your head.

Therefore, if the government really wanted to investigate what Sun Yixi did on the night of August 16, it would be difficult for him to deal with.

And what is not investigated... is actually the same as the words of Shui Hanyi and Yun Shili.

Yu Privately, Yunshui and Sun Yixi and Huang Donglai have no grudges. Not only do they have no grudges, they also admire and admire these two young people. This is normal... Such an old man who is seventeen or eighteen years old may not have one in the world for hundreds of years.

But Yu Gong is not the case.

People from the court must consider and do things from the standpoint of the court. People like Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai must win over if they can win over. If they cannot win over, it is best not to break up and "cooperate" with them cleverly.

In this way, on the evening of August 17th, in the back hall of the yamen.

After driving the county magistrate away, Shui Hanyi and Yun Shili, who had occupied the queh's nest, invited Sun and Huang and started a tense and exciting negotiation.

The two of them first used fame, wealth, glory and wealth to cleverly test Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, but found that although these two guys seemed to be greedy for money, they were actually not the kind of people who could betray their integrity at will.

Later, the two guys began to talk about strange words like "too small" that others could not understand. Yun Shili rated their expressions and context, and felt that it seemed to imply "not enough"; but to be honest, the conditions he promised were already very exaggerated. Going further up, it was the price offered by the emperor himself or the tyrant of the dynasty, and he could not enjoy the treatment himself.

There is no way. Since these two people are too rude about "adding money", the two officials can only talk about their ideals with them.

However, after talking for about half an hour, I came to my senses... The content of the conversation turned out to be Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie talking about their ideals with Yun Shili Shui Hanyi.

At this point, the route of "honor" with both kindness and power cannot continue. Yunshui and the others had no choice but to show their official power and start taking the deterrent route.

So, they began to make a fuss about Sun Yixi's setting fire, but how could Brother Sun be the kind of person who would easily confess his guilt?

"What? Set fire? What set fire?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't let it go. Who saw you said I put it?"

"Listen to what others say? Who is saying it is unreasonable, please let him provide evidence."

Sun Yixie said such skillful old man words; he could still be so excited about the obvious things, which made Shui Hanyi and Yun Shili amazed.

But after all... this matter cannot be lost by relying on lies.

To put it short, when he came out of the back hall of the yamen that night, Sun Yixi and Huang Donglai reached the following agreement with the official represented by Yunshui:

First, Gu Qiying's notes on raising a pot must be handed over to the court for safekeeping.

This unethical thing flows into the world and has endless troubles and cannot be left alone; although... it does not mean that there will be no hidden dangers when this thing falls into the hands of the court, but it is relatively safer than staying in Huang Donglai's hands.

Secondly, all industries and businesses of the Zhengyi Sect, including the cleaning and reconstruction work of their headquarter, will be taken over by the Jinyiwei. Those sects who are trying to take advantage of the end of the Zhengyi Sect to divide their interests will no longer have to think about this... and there will be no need to cause a new round of conflict when you come to fight.

This arrangement originally had nothing to do with Sun and Huang, but the official hoped that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai would come forward to convey this matter to those martial arts people; after all, they had just saved the lives of those fellow workers, so they would come forward to negotiate at this time, and even if everyone had any dissatisfaction, it would be difficult to say it.

There is also thirdly, they have to go to Wuchang. As for why they want to go... it is related to "小无". It's a long story, so I won't mention it here for now.

And in contrast to these "obligations", they will naturally also get some "rights" and other benefits.

Shui Hanyi and Yun Shili promised that from now on, as long as they are on this vast territory, no matter where Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai go, they can "do things cheaply" on the official side, that is, they will turn a blind eye to their various illegal and irregular acts, whether it is "river and lake affairs" or "general affairs", and if they have something to do, they will use the power of the government, and the local government will try their best to facilitate them.

Originally... this was over, but because Sun and Huang were so shameless that they had a strong bargaining ability, they also proposed to ask the government to reward them with hundreds of taels of gold, and said, "The outstanding and brave people who have done their best to defeat the conspiracy of the terrorist organization, and it is also worth getting this reward."

Shui Hanyi thought, you two had to work hard and burned most of the foundation of the Justice Sect. I haven't settled the accounts with you yet. Now I'm justified and want to extort hundreds of taels of gold for us? Are you thinking I'm stupid?

But later, I couldn't resist the two of them being sluggish. He and Yun Shiliyi decided to do it... The local officials in Luoyang have also received a lot of benefits from Shen Youran over the years. Let's just let them spend some blood and pay the money. Anyway, as long as they are officials, who can't get any dirty silver at home.

It took a few more days to raise money, but Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were going to stay in Luoyang for five days to wait for the gang of people who were infected to complete the removal of the gang, so they were not in a hurry.

In short, the two of them stayed in Luoyang for seven more days. After seven days, they packed their luggage and set up their cars and horses, and then they left Luoyang City with Lei Buji.

This Lei Buji is also very fun. He originally promised his father to go home after visiting the Young Heroes Club, but after experiencing the previous events, his ideas changed; especially after losing to Chunkong in the Eight-Eight-Eleven Battle of the Martial Arts Examination, and seeing Lin Yuancheng's martial arts in the finals and encircling Gu Qiying, he also deeply understood what it means to have heaven and people outside...

Lei Buji felt that if he continued to stay in that valley, he would probably be a fool living under the shadow of his father forever. So he wrote a letter to his family, saying that he would explore more in the world, open his eyes, do more experience, and go home after he made a name for himself.

Because he was afraid that his father would worry, he mentioned in the letter that he had worshipped two "big brothers", and emphasized that Brother Sun and Brother Huang are both heroes with a strong and brave hero, and with them, he would never suffer any loss.

His father's thoughts when he saw this letter...you can imagine it, but that's also a story later.

In addition, there is another thing that must be mentioned, which is the injury of Bai Ruhong, the "Silver Way"; although everyone invited the best doctor in Luoyang City to treat him the next day, it is difficult for ordinary doctors to see why he is such a strange injury.

In the end, Master Chunkong was merciful. In view of the fact that monks and Taoists were all monks, he took the initiative to take responsibility and took Bai Ruhong back to Shaolin Temple, hoping to invite the monks in the temple to find ways to cure Bai Ruhong.

This proposal is quite reasonable, because Shaolin Temple is very close to Luoyang City, just a half-day journey. With Bai Ruhong's physical condition, it is not suitable for long-distance travel, so it would be good to send Shaolin to Shaolin. Moreover, Shaolin has a profound foundation and a high reputation. Even if there is no one in their sect to save Bai Ruhong, perhaps someone will know who can save him in the world. Let's take a step back... at least you don't have to worry about the harm that Bai Ruhong will suffer when he falls into the hands of these monks.

After explaining these things, let’s talk about Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.

Wuchang is not too far from Luoyang, at least it is much closer than going to Hangzhou or Shuzhong. Their first stop after leaving Luoyang is to go back to Xuzhou first.

With the carriage and the free coachman Lei Buji, they naturally took the official road.

After all, the official road is flat and safe.

But is it really absolutely safe? Thinking about the scene when Shen Youran's carriage was raided by Cao Gang people outside Hangzhou City, I believe everyone has the answer...

At present, in broad daylight, in the bright world, the carriage Sun and Huang were riding in was stopped by someone.

The person who blocked the road was wearing a hat and a long sword hanging on his waist. He was tall and strong and vigorous.

He just poked into the middle of the road without saying a word. Just with his arrogant murderous aura, anyone who saw him could understand that this guy was not a good guy.

Lei Buji saw this man from afar, and he stopped his horse and slowed down before the carriage could get closer to the other party.

He was not afraid, mainly because the horse is expensive, and the car is expensive, and they are all new. Lei Buji is a child from a poor family and cannot bear to waste things. Although he did not pay for the car, the finances that the big brother had sued from the yamen were damaged, and he felt distressed.

"Friend, what are you trying to block the road for no reason?" After stopping, Lei Buji did not get out of the car, but asked loudly at the person blocking the road from afar.

"It has nothing to do with you." The man wearing a straw hat was silent, but he was quite young, "I'm looking for someone in the car."

"Ha?" With this sentence, Lei Buji's fire came up a little, "Why has nothing to do with me? The two people in the car are my elder brothers. What's the matter with them? Have you asked me?"

At this moment, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, who were sitting in the carriage, were almost stunned. They thought to themselves that Lei Buji was too careless. They didn’t even test you, so you took the initiative to shake out the information of how many people in the car?

The man wearing a hat was actually not so careful. He raised his head slightly, glanced up from under the brim of the hat, looked at Lei Buji, and thought to himself: "What's going on? I heard that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were both seventeen or eighteen years old. Why did this man who looked in his thirties and looked like a fierce Zhang Fei call them brothers? Could it be that I stopped the wrong car?"

Just as he was hesitating, Lei Buji was a little impatient and urged again: "Hey! I'll tell you, if you have something to say, don't block the way if you have nothing to do."

"Hmph..." The man wearing a straw hat was obviously displeased when he heard this. He immediately sneered and said, "A little brother who is driving a car dares to talk to me like this. It seems that I have to teach you a lesson for your two elder brothers..."
