Chapter 255: The History of Yan Song's Prosperity I
Li Cangxing became more and more angry as he spoke. He punched the table, and with a "bang", the tea in the cup on the table splashed everywhere.
Qian Guanglai shook his head and sighed: "It's useless for you to be there. I knew about this before I left, and I expected that it would be the result."
"Oh, how do you say this?" Li Cangxing said strangely.
Qian Guanglai said slowly: "Last time after the Demon Sect Leng Tianxiong and his friends met the Huashan Twin Evils, although they retreated on the surface, they remained secretly in the Dongting area. They just knew that the elites of my gang gathered and did not want to cause trouble. They now had a conflict with our Beggars' Sect, so they did not take action. They only sent Yuwen Xie to accompany Qu Caifeng to occupy the territory."
Li Cangxing immediately asked when he heard this, "I have always been surprised by this matter. The Wushan Sect is now fighting fiercely with Emei. The offense and defense in Shu have not yet decided to win or lose. Last time, I wiped out many elites. How could I have the strength to come to Dongting to develop its power?"
Qian Guanglai shook his head: "You don't know this. The alliance between the Wushan Sect and the Demon Sect seems to be the general trend and cannot be reversed. Not only that, the Wushan Sect seems to have a relationship with the Jinyiwei. Lu Bing's apprentice Yue Shisan seems to be responsible for the cooperation with them. Now the Wushan Sect's defense is mainly the responsibility of the Jinyiwei. Last month, I heard that Lin Yaoxian attacked once, but it was unsuccessful."
"What, there is this matter? Is Emei's losses a lot?" Li Cangxing suddenly became nervous.
"Haha, brother, are you still worried about those beauties?" The two piles of meat on Qian Guanglai's face squeezed his eyes into a thin slit.
"Brother Qian, don't talk nonsense. Although I am not a disciple of Emei, my fellow disciples still have feelings for more than half a year. Now I only care about their safety." Li Cangxing stood up and said seriously.
"Oh, just kidding, don't be so serious. Sit." Qian Guanglai smiled and patted Li Cangxing's shoulder and asked him to sit down: "There is no loss in Emei, but the people from the Tang Sect were too fierce and suffered heavy casualties. After this defeat, Emei took advantage with your help last time and returned. The two families were even. So this time Qu Caifeng dared to join the Demon Sect to open a branch in Dongting. She was relieved to let the Jinyiwei guard in her hometown anyway."
Li Cangxing sighed in disbelief: "This thief is really crazy. Her master was obviously killed by the Jinyiwei, and he still cooperates with them."
Qian Guanglai's eyes flashed with a flash: "Qu Caifeng's personality is so stubborn that Lu Bing's mouth can make people alive. Their cooperation should have started a long time ago. She always thought that Wudang had cleaned up Xu Linzong's door in private. Last time she suffered a great loss in your hands, and she had been fighting with Emei for many years and had made deep enemies. Now she is no longer able to look back."
Li Cangxing suddenly thought of the conversation with Jin Buhuan at that time and asked: "By the way, isn't the Jinyiwei and Dongchang as powerful as water and fire? And Dongchang heard that it was an alliance of the Demon Cult. Why can the Wushan Sect cooperate with the two companies at the same time?"
Qian Guanglai pondered for a moment and said, "The Demon Cult and the Dongchang are just mutually exploiting each other. The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are both departments of the court, so it is impossible for them to publicly break up. And I may not know that the so-called revenge between the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei is completely a personal grudge between Jin Buhuan and Lu Bing. They dare not publicly raise the conflict before the emperor."
"Private hatred?" Li Cangxing repeated these two words twice.
Qian Guanglai laughed: "That's right. When Lu Bing was only a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, Jin Buhuan was a thief who lived alone in Shaanxi and Gansu, and did everything he could do. Once, Jin Buhuan robbed a batch of military pay sent to the northwest border of the court, and killed the Shaanxi-Gansu chief constable who was chasing the case, which made Long Yan angry. The emperor directly ordered the Jinyiwei to solve the case within a specified period of time."
"Lu Bing personally took action and tracked it for half a year and finally got the gold without changing. But his wife, Honghua Ghost Girl, ran away. Originally, the gold should be killed according to the law, but Yan Song, the second assistant to the cabinet at that time, tried to ensure that the money should not be replaced. It was said that it was rare to have talents and could contribute to the country."
"In those two years, Yan Song won the favor in the grand ceremony incident. The emperor was happy and approved his memorial and changed the death penalty to castration. From then on, Jin Buhuan joined the Dongchang. With his relationship with Yan Song, he gradually climbed to the position of Dongchang Mansion for more than ten years."
Li Cangxing suddenly realized that others were in the world before. He didn't know about this kind of struggle in the court: "So that's it, no wonder Jin Budian hates Lu Bing so much."
Qian Guanglai took a sip of tea and continued, "But Lu Bing grew up with the emperor since childhood. He has always been relying on his left and right hands. He has been helping the emperor control the court officials for many years. Although Jin Buhuan hated Lu Bing, he did not dare to be an enemy openly, so he could only secretly pull him back. For example, the last time Jin Buhuan wanted to kill you in Yueyang was because Lu Bing valued you and wanted to recruit you."
Li Cangxing remembered that he almost died that time and hated him: "Bah, I almost lost all my life for this little thing for them. It's so unlucky."
Qian Guanglai patted Li Cangxing's shoulder and continued, "Jin Buhuan's wife is the famous red flower ghost mother in the world. She was called the red flower ghost girl in her early years. She was the daughter of Ye Yiyang, a martial arts stranger in Shaanxi and Gansu. She has been spreading in the world for decades. In addition, she is poisonous all over her body, and can be called a top-notch master today."
"There are three disciples in Gongye Yiyang. The eldest brother is the ghost saint you have met. The second brother is Jin Buhuan, and the ghost mother is the junior sister. The cooperation between Dongchang and the Demon Cult also built this thread."
When Li Cangxing heard this, he was slightly stunned: "So that's it. Why did Jin Buhuan feel unwilling to help him when he saw that his senior brother was in danger of his life?"
Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "Their brothers pursued the ghost mother when they were young, but because the Ghost Saint had to touch the corpse after practicing zombies, they became half human and half ghosts. In the end, the Ghost Mother chose Jin Budian. Even though they are all ages now, the relationship is still lukewarm."
"In addition, Jin Buhuan has become a eunuch now, and he always suspects that the Ghost Mother will leave him and has never wanted her to have more contact with the Ghost Saint. In my opinion, he wished you could kill the Ghost Saint that day. Anyway, he had formed an alliance with the Demon Sect, and the existence of the Ghost Saint is no longer important."
Li Cangxing's eyebrows moved: "My fellow disciples should be intimate, why is this?"
Qian Guanglai shook his head: "Brother, not everyone is you, nor every sect is Wudang. Even if it is not for the sake of the junior sister, there are not many people who harm their fellow disciples for the sake of the head. Isn't this the Sanqing Temple you are in?" Li Cangxing suddenly thought of Yun Yazi and Huo Huazi and couldn't help but feel silent.
When Qian Guanglai saw Li Cangxing's appearance, he quickly changed the topic: "So the Wushan Sect borrowed the help of the Demon Sect that time, and then occupied Dongting. I believe that in the battle to destroy the Dajiang Association, Leng Tianxiong Dongfang Liang and others would appear, otherwise it would not be so smooth. The master has been staying near Dongting. If even he is unable to save the Dajiang Association, it will be possible unless Leng Tianxiong himself takes action."
"So, the Demon Church left the masters to help the Wushan Sect guard the Dongting branch for a period of time. Even the Dongchang Factory will help defend, that's it." Li Cangxing was silent for a long time and spoke.
Qian Guanglai nodded: "That's right, so the master replied that he would deal with the matter over there and postpone the itinerary again, which should be for this matter."
Li Cangxing slapped himself in his thighs with hatred: "By the way, Dajiang will not be an ordinary sect, but an ordinary fishermen from the boat and run gang. Will the government not care about such good people being massacred?"
Qian Guanglai sighed and his expression became melancholy: "Brother, you are too naive! Today, jackals and wolves are in power, like Yan Song, who is in the court, and only thinks about how to flatter the emperor, how can they care about the lives and deaths of the people?"
"Don't forget the relationship between the Demon Cult and the East Factory. Yan Song is their backstage. At most, he instructs local officials to give some pensions to the deceased, so that they will not be allowed to make a statement. He will arrest a few unlucky thieves and take this charge and kill them. This is an explanation to the superiors and subordinates. I have seen such things many times when I travel south and north all year round."
"If the old thief is not eliminated, the national crisis has not yet ended." Li Cangxing gritted his teeth and slapped the table, and another burst of tea splashed everywhere.
