Chapter 660: The Black Robe Reappears

Pei Wenyuan opened his mouth in surprise like Qian Guanglai, and couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he reacted and frowned: "Cangxing, your mind is not broken. What we men in the world don't like the most is to join the government and become a hawk. These people who come to join you this time are all passionate men. They are ashamed to be with the government. If they seek wealth and wealth, they would have been in the Jinyiwei long ago. If they were not good enough, they would be a constable. If they entered the six doors, they would not even be an official, so how could they be a big soldier?"

The smile on Qian Guanglai's face also disappeared, and he said seriously: "Cangxing, you have to think about this matter. A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail, let alone these men with supernatural powers. Everyone is willing to come to join the world, Li Cangxing, the hero who is famous all over the world, or the Jinyiwei killer Tianlang, who is a wild and imaginary and defeated the White Lotus Sect. If you let them join the army, there are probably not a few people left. This is not something that money can buy."

Li Cangxing nodded seriously: "So I need you brothers to do a good job in the disciples. Striving the Japanese and resisting the Japanese is not an ordinary army to join the army, but a feat of defending the bandits outside, defending the country, attacking the robbers inside, and eliminating the forces of the Demon Cult."

Pei Wenyuan said: "Can these Japanese pirates have something to do with Yan Shifan and the Demon Sect?"

Li Cangxing looked at Qian Guanglai and smiled slightly: "Fatty, do you remember the incident when our brothers joined forces to fight against Japanese pirates in Nanjing City?"

Qian Guanglai laughed: "I will never forget this kind of thing in my life. By the way, I was the one who left for the competition with you at that time. Wasn't it the one who left for the martial arts competition? I was surprised when I saw him this time. When did you, Li Cangxing, have something to do with the Japanese pirates? I even thought you had gone to the East China with him for so many years."

Li Cangxing smiled embarrassedly: "After he climbed out of the valley with Liu Sheng, he heard the news that my junior sister and brother were going to get married. I originally wanted to find you, Fatty, but when I heard about this, I exploded and rushed to Wudang and met Wenyuan on the way."

Qian Guanglai smiled and said, "The fortune teller has told me these days. By the way, what's going on with you and Mu Lanxiang? Why did she suddenly change her mind?"

Pei Wenyuan said hatefully: "Fatty, don't irritate Cangxing. I'm so angry that I want to beat that bitch. The one I used to have with Cangxing was called a vow. In a blink of an eye, I fell into someone else's arms. Women are not trustworthy, but brothers are still reliable."

President Li Cang sighed: "Forget it, you always mention this matter. Wen Yuan. At the wedding ceremony that year, thank you for being righteous for me. I will never forget your help in this life."

Pei Wenyuan's face changed: "Why, you were there at that time?"

When Li Cangxing thought of the heart-wrenching wedding that year, he felt a tragic feeling in his heart. He nodded silently: "Yes, I changed my face and mixed up in the crowd. I just hope that the junior sister can change her mind at the last moment."

Pei Wenyuan stomped his feet in anger, stood up and said, "Cangxing. Why are you so stupid? If you really want her to turn back, how can you change your appearance? You have to restore your true colors. Also, didn't I ask you to have an appointment with her the night before? If she rejected you at that time, why would you be persistent and never forget?"

Li Cangxing closed his eyes and shook his head: "I don't want to mention this matter more. You are right. Women are fickle. They can vow to you in the past and live and die together. In a blink of an eye, they will be embraced by other men. They will either approach you with all kinds of unspeakable purposes, use you, or want to find a man to seek comfort and support, and they can live together for a while, but cannot work together for a lifetime. For nothing more, a man is a real man who is obsessed with his children's personal love, which is really a waste of time. I said that the purpose and focus of my life in the future will be placed above great cause and will no longer be entangled in the love of his children."

Pei Wenyuan laughed: "No, not bad, this is what we can live up to your peerless martial arts and extraordinary wisdom, but..." When he said this, his brow frowned slightly, "Since you have restored your real name, how to deal with your relationship with Wudang? After all, under the leadership of Xu Linzong, Wudang has gradually recovered its vitality and has become a decent leader in the Demon-Subduing Alliance, surpassing Shaolin. How do you plan to face your former junior brother and junior sister in the future?"

Li Cangxing's eyes shining brightly: "This is also something I want to discuss with you today. I am Li Cangxing. At present, except for a few senior executives of the Jinyiwei such as Lu Bing, only you brothers know about it. The various sects in the Central Plains are still ignorant of this. The brothers who came to join are also old subordinates brought by you. They do not know my identity, so I would like to ask you to help me and continue to conceal my identity for a while. After we complete the anti-Japanese war and gain a firm foothold in the southeast, we will announce this to the world."

Qian Guanglai's face shook: "Cangxing, you said we join the army and serve the country and join the government army. This is really hard to do with my brothers. After all, we are all passionate men. All I bring are brothers from the Beggars' Sect. I have always hated the government. Even if I fight Japanese pirates, I am afraid I am not willing to join the army. In the past few years, the monks in Nan Shaolin have plowed the Japanese several times, and the losses are heavy, but they are not recognized by the government, which has also made everyone's hearts cold."

A resolute look flashed across Li Cangxing's face: "There are two reasons for going to the southeast. First, it is because the entire world is deployed. Now the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, the northern six provinces are basically Shaolin or the Beggars' Sect, and the sphere of influence of the Huashan Sect. However, with the subsequent entry of the hero sect, I am afraid that there will be wars here and no longer stable. In addition, the northern provinces have always been strictly monitored by the court and their business is not well developed. It is not easy to start a sect here."

"Since the destruction of the Wushan Sect, the southwest Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces have become the sphere of influence of the Demon Cult, while the Dongting Gang and Wudang occupy Huguang Province, while the Sichuan province is in a fierce competition between Emei and the Demon Cult. With the Taiyi Sect falling into Lu Bing's control and the destruction of Baoxiang Temple, it is considered the sphere of influence of the Jinyiwei and the Demon Cult. Fujian Province has Nan Shaolin, the remaining Nan Zhili and Zhejiang provinces. There have been no clear Jianghu forces entering due to the Japanese turmoil. The two places we can compete for when the faction was established. Therefore, only by suppressing the Japanese pirates can we gain a foothold in these two provinces and maintain our operating income in the future through developed maritime trade."

Qian Guanglai nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He was a businessman himself and was extremely sensitive to business. He smiled and said, "In fact, half of the taxes, or the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, came from the southeast. These two provinces could match the other ten provinces. It is my Qian Family Store. Although it is located in the north, the most income source every year is in Zhejiang, Cangxing. Do you remember the last time I went to Jiangnan with you to collect silk money in Hangzhou? Now the silk and tea business has accounted for 70% of our Qian Family Store. If it weren't for the Japanese pirates' fuss, I'm afraid our business will be even bigger every year. Cangxing, are you going to join the army to monopolize the silk trade in the southeast after destroying the Japanese pirates?"

Li Cangxing nodded: "You two may not know that when I was in the Jinyiwei, I had been living and dying in the southeast, and did a lot of things to divide and disintegrate Wang Zhi and Xu Hai's group. It can even be said that Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, two giant thieves, finally accepted the amnesty. It was also my own way to promote it, but I didn't expect that Hu Zongxian would betray his faith and killed Wang Xu and who had already surrendered and recruited him, causing the Japanese pirates in the southeast to rebel and the war rekindled."

Pei Wenyuan sighed: "The court is dark, and jackals are in power. You don't know these things. I heard that Hu Zongxian is still a good official, and I didn't expect that it would be inevitable. It should be Yan Song and his son who were behind him who put more pressure on him. As the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, Lu Bing must not tolerate Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, two people who openly rebel against the imperial court. Cang Xing, did you finally leave the Jinyiwei? Did you see through Lu Bing's character in this matter?"

Li Cangxing thought of the past and his expression became gloomy: "Brother Wenyuan was half right. After I entered the Jinyiwei, I trusted Lu Bing very much. I really thought he was running for state affairs, but I didn't expect that he had been approaching me with a female killer Feng Wu to deceive my trust, and then controlled me and used me until I was born and died for him and recruited Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. But after he found that in order to protect his official position, he colluded with Yan Shifan again, eliminated the Wushan Sect and killed Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. Both of them were involved, so I was unwilling to continue working with such a villain, so I withdrew from the Jinyiwei."

Pei Wenyuan frowned: "If Lu Bing and Hu Zongxian's killing of Wang Zhi and Xu Hai against you, it's easy to understand, but Qu Caifeng from Wushan Sect has always been your enemy. Lu Bing and the Demon-Subduing Alliance destroyed them, you should be happy. How could he turn against him for this matter?"

Li Cangxing shook his head: "Wenyuan, Qu Caifeng is not a bad person. The decision to attack the righteous coalition forces in Luoyuexia was made by her master. In those years, she led the Wushan Sect and the Demon-Subduing Alliance to attack each other, and each suffered damage, which was also considered a revenge. However, Miss Qu herself was a hero of the female master who was very wise. The first thing I did after joining the Jinyiwei that year was to destroy the White Lotus Sect. That time, she let go of her past grudges with Miss Qu. After she recognized Yan Shifan's true face, she resolutely broke up with the Yan Party and helped me to conflict with Yan Shifan many times. In the end, Wushan Sect was destroyed, which was precisely because of this."

Qian Guanglai was shocked and said, "Didn't the Wushan Sect be destroyed by the Demon-Subduing Alliance? Why is it related to Yan Shifan?"

Li Cangxing sighed and told the story of the Wushan Sect's destruction back then, only hiding this section of his own life experience. Hearing the faces of Pei Wenyuan and Qian Guanglai changed colors constantly. The thrilling scenes and the huge conspiracy behind them made the two who had been in the world for many years sigh.

After Li Cangxing finished speaking, Pei Wenyuan sighed long and said, "Cangxing, it's really hard for you. I didn't expect that there were so many surging undercurrents and so many huge conspiracies under the calm waters of the rivers and lakes. No wonder you didn't ask those famous and upright factions for help this time. It turns out that you have seen clearly that these upright factions are not trustworthy."

A cold light flashed in Li Cangxing's eyes: "The various factions of the Demon-Subduing Alliance rely on the Qingliu ministers in the court, and these officials are only considering protecting their positions or finding opportunities to climb up. They are all the same as people like Lu Bing, and they are not trustworthy at all. Those well-known and upright sects that have been in the past thousands of years have long been united with these court officials, and can only follow their orders, so they can only cooperate with them to a limited extent, and cannot pin their hopes on them."

Qian Guanglai's face trembled: "But Yan Shifan and his disciple, especially the terrifying and mysterious black robe. Since he already knew your identity, he has not caused trouble for you in the past three years. Why is it for?"

Li Cangxing pondered for a moment and said, "If the black robe is really what he said about Emperor Jianwen's descendants, then what he wants is the world. This is in conflict with his disciple Yan Shifan, so he would rather ask me to cooperate. This is also the reason why I used the trick and managed it in this desert for the past three years. I think. Since I hit the Hero Sect this time, he should know my strength now and will come to me soon."

Pei Wenyuan smiled slightly: "Cangxing. Are you really going to cooperate with this traitor and plot against the world in the future?"

Li Cangxing had already made up his mind and revealed to Liu Sheng Xiongba the matter of the uprising, and kept it secret from the other brothers for the time being. So he smiled: "It's not me who plotted against the world. It's that black robe. The temporary cooperation between me and him is just to use each other. On the one hand, he can help me temporarily control Yan Shifan. Yan Shifan has not attacked me over the years, which is a clear proof. On the other hand, my current power cannot fight against the black robe of this business for many years and establish a dark and huge organization. If I don't cooperate with him at this time, it will be a dead end. I have understood a truth a few years ago. A hero needs three helpers. But he just has a chivalrous blood, but he does not have enough power to fight against evil. In the end, it will be a waste."

Pei Wenyuan nodded: "But if we go to the southeast to join the army like this, will he not be suspicious? What benefits will this do to him?"

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "There is a high-profile reason to go to the southeast to join the army. Now, the governor of Zhejiang Zhizhi, Hu Zongxian, is recruiting martial arts people everywhere to join the army in order to fight against the Japanese pirates. If we use this to eliminate the Japanese pirates, we may fight for trade in the southeast and accumulate a lot of money for future uprisings. By the way, we can also find ways to attract generals who are willing to follow the uprisings in the army. He has no reason to object."

Qian Guanglai frowned: "But Hu Zongxian is just like Lu Bing, who will lose his links at critical moments. He and Lu Bing were betrayed and killed Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. Since you are unwilling to cooperate with Lu Bing, why do you have to come to Hu Zongxian again this time? Are you not afraid that he will hack you again?"

Li Cangxing laughed: "It's different. Lu Bing is not the governor of Zhejiang. He has no obligation to eliminate the Japanese pirates. Hu Zongxian is different. He has the emperor's order. In Zhejiang, it is just to eliminate the Japanese pirates. In recent years, the Japanese pirates have been unable to be eliminated many times, but they are getting bigger and bigger. The emperor is already dissatisfied with him. I heard that in order to protect his position as governor, Hu Zongxian actually found a white deer and a spiritual turtle to present it to the emperor, saying that it was auspicious things. The emperor liked to cultivate immortals and asked questions. He was very happy after seeing this thing, so Hu Zongxian's official position was temporarily stabilized. It is precisely because of this that he did not dare to slack off and began to recruit experts from the people to deal with Japanese pirates."

Pei Wenyuan smiled and said, "I have heard that Hu Zongxian has spared no expense over the years to recruit and train many new troops. Those generals such as Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others are not mediocre people, so why can't they deal with these mere Japanese pirates?"

Li Cangxing sighed: "Wenyuan doesn't know that the power of the Japanese pirates is not because of how fierce the war is, but because of its high-speed maneuverability. The Ming Dynasty's naval army is far less brisk and convenient than the Japanese pirates' warships. To train a powerful navy, it is not possible to succeed within a few years by spending money. Therefore, the Japanese pirates who came ashore can rob the towns. If they can't fight the Ming Dynasty's official army, they will board the ship and escape, which is difficult to eliminate. The Yiwu soldiers recruited by General Qi in those years are very powerful. I believe that fighting head-on with Japanese pirates can win, but they are all infantry soldiers, and their legs are not as good as the fast ship with sails. If they can't catch up with the Japanese pirates, they can only sigh."

Qian Guanglai nodded: "Yes, in the past two years, it seems that the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang have been given to General Qi's troops many times. Oh, by the way, because General Qi's troops are strong in combat and strict discipline, the people in the southeast call them the Qi family army. The Qi family army defeated Japanese pirates many times in Zhejiang. Now nearly 100,000 Japanese pirates have begun to rush to Fujian to rob. Cangxing, Fujian, there has never been a very powerful sect, and Nan Shaolin never interferes in the trade between sea and land. If you choose to establish a foundation in Fujian and Zhejiang, it is a good choice."

Li Cangxing smiled slightly, and was about to speak, suddenly his face changed, and a long-lost evil aura appeared immediately. Pei Wenyuan and Qian Guanglai's martial arts were now much worse than him. He didn't feel this aura for a while, but when he saw Li Cangxing's face change drastically, he stopped his words and realized that a strong enemy must have come, and both touched their weapons.

Li Cangxing said in a deep voice: "Black robe, is it you?"

A gloomy and cold old voice came quietly through the night sky from outside the closed window panel. There was no trace of popularity in the voice, as if it was a ghost from the underworld: "Li Cangxing, I haven't seen you for three years. It seems that your martial arts have improved a lot, and you can actually find me thirty feet away."

Li Cangxing stood up and said to Pei Wenyuan and Qian Guang: "Wenyuan, fat man, I'll go meet this person and talk to you when I'm back."
