The sudden turn of events made Sun Wu confused. It wasn't until he heard the uproar from the nearby crowd that he realized what Yuan Chenfeng had said to him.26nbsp;
Sun Wu didn't know who Yuan Chenfeng was, but at least he could tell that this young man had a great background and was a powerful figure. It was really incredible that he was willing to apologize to a young man from a mountain village so humbly.
Don't know what to say.
"You haven't asked me your little brother's name yet?"
"I...my surname is Sun, Sun Wu."
"Brother Sun, I feel really sorry for my reckless offence last time. Now I wonder if I can give Yuan a chance to be my host and forgive me?"
Before Sun Wu could answer Yuan Chenfeng's invitation, a follower beside him was already whispering urgently.
"Young Master, you have a schedule ahead and you don't have any spare time to do..."
"Cancel all chores for today. Don't bother me with these things."
Yuan Chenfeng sternly rejected the reminder from his entourage. He turned his head but still waited for Sun Wu's answer with a gentle expression. Such sincerity made it difficult to refuse, but Sun Wu still didn't want to agree.
To be more correct, it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't dare. Especially before finding Xiao Shang, Sun Wu was not in the mood to do anything.
(Xiao Shang is gone, what should I do? Without me keeping an eye on her, Xiao Shang is like a man-eating beast that has been let loose. If it causes any big commotion, it will be my fault!) Even if it is
In the hot fire scene, Sun Wu didn't sweat so much behind his back, but when he thought about the serious consequences of the incident, he felt almost hysterical. However, the whispers of people nearby reached his ears at this time, including
One sentence in particular caught his attention.
"...Who is this boy?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm from outside. I haven't seen it before."
"Did he and Yuan Shaoxia know each other before? Yuan Shaoxia is the apprentice of 'Chairman' Lu Yunqiao. With such a great background, why should you be so polite to him?"
This sentence shocked Sun Wu. He didn't expect that things could be so clever, and he met Lu Yunqiao's apprentice here. I heard that Lu Yunqiao only accepted one disciple. He had lived in seclusion in recent years, and almost all major and minor matters were left to his apprentice to handle.
, others can almost only contact Lu Yunqiao through him, but they never expected that this person would be right in front of them.
If you can find Lu Yunqiao using formal methods, you don't have to use that stupid method that even you think is stupid. Even taking a step back, Yuan Chenfeng has become Lu Yunqiao's representative in recent years and holds the power of the Alliance. He is also a figure that cannot be underestimated.
, if he was willing to help him, there would be no need to ask Lu Yunqiao to see him.
A great opportunity was right in front of him, and there was no reason to miss it. Although Sun Wu was still worried about Xiao Shang's whereabouts, the common interests of the entire Liangshanbo came first, which made him agree to Yuan Chenfeng's invitation.
In order to show respect for the distinguished guest, Yuan Chenfeng ordered a horse to be fetched from someone, and asked Sun Wu to ride alongside him, and together they went to the place where the Alliance members stayed to receive hospitality.
Sun Wu had little riding experience in the past, but he had many opportunities to ride other kinds of animals. He easily jumped on the horse and drove the horse, which was a little too big for him, and Yuan Chenfeng's unicorn.
Parallel. The two people are different in height, but one is handsome and the other is delicate in appearance. Each has different characteristics. In the eyes of the surrounding people, they are both quite attractive and good-looking pictures.
But compared to Yuan Chenfeng's attention, Sun Wu naturally looks bleak. I don't know how many women are pushing and shouting, hoping to make Mr. Yuan turn his head and take another look, not for his martial arts or the power he holds. , just for his handsome appearance and temperament, it is enough to make local women crazy about him.
"Brother Sun, I'm really sorry, our trip will be a little slower, is that okay?"
"No...it doesn't matter. I mean, it's rare for me to see this kind of situation. Brother Yuan, you are so popular. It's like holding a temple fair when you go out."
"This time is an exception. I need to be particularly public and convey something. I don't usually go out like this."
The people lined the streets to welcome them, and the women rushed to get closer. The scenes were like scenes from a drama. Sun Wu stared at it blankly. At first, he had a strong sense of unreality, but it didn't take long for him to suddenly realize it and chew it carefully. After listening to Yuan Chenfeng's words, I became more aware of what was hidden behind this happy scene.
The Guanghong Gang...shouldn't be able to survive today, right?
Sure enough, a small organization cannot handle a big case. When Mr. Liu decided to send out a death squad at his birthday party, he must have never thought that it would be successful, right? The purpose of sending junior disciples to die was to take the opportunity to make a name for themselves, so that the Chinese All the gangs in the land know about the Guanghong Gang. Anyway, the gangs in the entire land of Middle-earth will seize the disaster money. The alliance will settle the accounts in the future. No matter how powerful Lu Yunqiao's martial arts is, he can't wipe out all the gangs in the world. The Guanghong Gang is just an inconspicuous small force in the world's gangs. They send some people to die for a show, and there is no real harm. They will not become the target of revenge from the Alliance, right?
This calculation is really loud. Since it will not cause any real harm, it will indeed not be listed as a target of retaliation. If a large number of experts are dispatched just to deal with the Guanghong Gang, this approach is too uneconomical.
However, it is true that summer insects cannot be talked about, and Mr. Liu never thought that he had become a delicious mantis in the eyes of the oriole. At the same time that Lu Yunqiao was determined to help Brother Zhengqi transport money, the alliance must have begun to operate, and the intelligence network was closely watching The various gangs in Middle-earth are looking for suitable excuses and a goal to scare the monkeys.
Guanghong Gang's initiative and enthusiasm must have been a great help to the Alliance!
Before the disaster relief funds leave the imperial capital, the Alliance must find a gangster and kill it with lightning speed. The more ruthless the method, the better. It is best to uproot the entire gang and eliminate no one left. , once this short-term, exterminating intimidation tactic is spread, it will highlight how serious the alliance is, and any force that covets this disaster fund must think twice.
Of course, the real mafia gangs and big bandits will not be scared away by this deterrence, but some small gangs and factions who do not know the heights of the world will be frightened. Without these people to fish in troubled waters, the Alliance will also It is easier to control the situation, and you can concentrate your efforts on dealing with the main enemy.
Sun Wu didn't know why he understood these principles, but he carefully thought about everything that had happened since the birthday banquet. In less than a day, the Guanghong Gang had been destroyed. The more he thought about it, the clearer the truth became.
Undoubtedly, the Guanghong Gang brought the blame on themselves. The life of a gangster is like licking blood from the edge of a knife. If you make a mistake, the enemy will come to kill the whole gang. This is also the retribution you deserve. There is nothing to complain about, but those old and weak people in Liuzhai Women and children are also involved, which is too tricky.
"...Even if it is just for publicity, if you kill the old, weak, women and children, can this be called a righteous organization?"
With his thoughts in his mind, Sun Wu unconsciously said what was in his heart. Although his voice was very low, Yuan Chenfeng, who was not far away, heard every word.
"Brother Sun, I admire you very much. Out of sheer righteousness, you bravely rushed into the fire to save people, and even rescued the enemies who attacked you. This kind of chivalrous heart is something that even many famous heroes in the world cannot do.
Half of the reason why I respect you so much is because of your chivalry."
Yuan Chenfeng said: "But when you were wandering around in the fire scene for so long, did you see a child's corpse? Did you see any women or children who died in vain?"
"This... I didn't see this."
"It's right that we didn't see it, because before we took control of the whole situation and set fire to the house, we had already expelled all the innocent servants, old and weak women and children. No women or children were harmed in the battle formation.
This is the teaching of my mentor. Mr. Yuan never dared to forget it for a moment, let alone killed an innocent person in the process of annihilating the Guanghong Gang."
Hearing what Yuan Chenfeng said, Sun Wu's uneasiness disappeared. He was still a little worried, wondering if there was a deceitful plot hidden under the other party's good-natured appearance. Maybe the other party was like those corrupt officials, fearing that he had seen something shameful.
Things, so I have to deceive myself into silence.
However, Yuan Chenfeng had always behaved openly and aboveboard. No matter what he did, he always stood firm on the principles and did nothing shameful at all. His frank style made Sun Wu feel a little ashamed that he was so suspicious of others.
On the way back, Yuan Chenfeng was very polite and respectful to Sun Wu. He did not look down on Sun Wu because of his age and treated him as an honored guest. Such a cautious attitude made Sun Wu flattered, but he was also very happy.
Because after he came to the outside world, he kept fighting all day long. Not only did he fail to make friends, but all he saw was the ugly side of human nature. Now that Yuan Chenfeng took the initiative to make friends with him, he was very happy to make such a friend.
Yuan Chenfeng's stay in the local area was the largest inn here. He and his entourage occupied the largest courtyard. As soon as they returned to the wing where they were staying, the inn rushed to bring refreshments and face towels, trying their best to curry favor with this person.
Distinguished guest.
"Brother Sun, this is the Longjing I brought from Beijing. Although it is not enough to entertain distinguished guests, I still want you to try it."
Yuan Chenfeng seems to come from a wealthy family. Not only is he elegant in conversation, but he is also very particular about some of his living habits. The color of the newly brewed Longjing hot tea is as bright as the sky after rain, and it exudes a delicate fragrance. He is especially brought to the imperial capital.
The tea itself is nothing more than the tea itself. The white porcelain tea set is simple and elegant in shape, as smooth as snow, and as thin as paper. Although there are no graphics or words on it, you can still see its meticulousness and preciousness. And this white porcelain tea set is as thin as paper.
The tea set is also the same as Longjing tea. Yuan Chenfeng brought it all the way from the imperial capital. He insisted on using this tea set with Longjing tea, which allowed Sun Wu to see the style of a rich man for the first time.
"I am a warrior who travels around the world. I hate excessive extravagance and waste of resources. If I want to be as ostentatious as some wealthy nobles, I can't live that kind of life. However, I think life is a beautiful thing, and I should stick to it.
Regarding things, such as drinking tea every afternoon, in order to enjoy a cup of tea in the best condition, I will never compromise on related matters and must demand the best, so I will pay attention to the tea leaves and tea utensils. "
Yuan Chenfeng explained his philosophy to Sun Wu and also poured him a cup of tea. It was already dark outside the window. After such a cup of tea entered his stomach and brought warmth to his slightly cold body, Yuan Chenfeng invited Sun Wu to join him.
Have dinner.
At a simple banquet with only host and guest, Yuan Chenfeng first apologized to Sun Wu again for his recklessness last time, and then talked with him about anecdotes from the world.
Yuan Chenfeng had been managing the affairs of the Alliance for several years instead of Lu Yunqiao. He had rich experience in the world and told all kinds of anecdotes. Some of them were thrilling grievances and grievances in the world, which left Sun Wu completely speechless. However, Sun Wu occasionally responded with a few words, saying
Yuan Chenfeng was amazed by some secret stories he had heard from people in Bo Village, Liangshan.
"By the way, Brother Sun's golden bell cover is very powerful. He can reach the sixth level at this age. Such advancement is really a century-old genius. Even the eminent monks of Cihang Jing Palace, I am afraid that not many people have achieved this achievement, but Jin
The secrets of the bell jar above the sixth level are never told outside. I wonder which eminent monk does Brother Sun follow to learn the art?"
During the conversation, Yuan Chenfeng couldn't help but ask about Sun Wu's origins and his plans to come to Mingdeba. Sun Wu answered these questions vaguely, because he already felt that directly telling where he was from might cause unnecessary trouble.
Before confirming something, he didn't want to tell anyone that he came from Liangshanbo.
Therefore, Sun Wu had no choice but to tell a lie that even he felt was bad.
"My... master's name is... called... Old Man Heping. He seemed to have been a monk at Cihangjing Palace before. I studied martial arts with him since I was a child. He didn't like the way I mentioned him, so I also
...And the reason why I came here this time is because my master lost something, so I came here to look for it.”
Lying casually, Sun Wu already felt that this lie was full of loopholes, and the teasing meaning in Yuan Chenfeng's eyes made him know that the other party did not believe these words at all. In desperation, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered that Uncle Hu seemed to have slept with Ci Hangjing before.
I will use his appearance to describe this virtual master.
This strategy really worked. As soon as he mentioned a few obvious characteristics, Yuan Chenfeng's expression immediately changed, as if he remembered something, and his expression also changed from obviously holding back laughter, to doubtful, and finally nodded and spoke.
"It turns out that the world is so vast, with crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and many strange people and strangers with aloof tempers. Brother Sun's master must be a reclusive master who avoids the common people. That's not surprising. It's rare.
It is Brother Sun who has been able to practice such amazing martial arts since he was a child in the countryside. In time, he will definitely become a shining pillar in the world. It is very gratifying to have such an outstanding lay disciple in Cihangjing Palace.
.”
Hearing what Yuan Chenfeng said, Sun Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had just passed a test. Uncle Hu had used the old identity of a monk to provide himself with the best cover. Otherwise, Yuan Chenfeng would go on official business and Dai Cihangjingdian would be held accountable.
Regarding the issue of Shen Gong Gaiden, things are very bad.
(Actually, I didn’t learn the Golden Bell Cover secretly. I’ve never seen the secret manual for the sixth level. I just happened to practice it on the Cloud Road Ladder. This shouldn’t violate the rules of Cihang Jingdian, right?
) This thought crossed Sun Wu's mind, but since leaving Liangshanbo, he has fully experienced the indescribable feeling. It is better to do less than to do more.
What's more, although Cihang Jingdian opened the first to fifth levels of the Golden Bell for circulation, it required the teaching school to pay royalties every year and continued to authorize use every other year. The school in Liangshanbo was isolated from the outside world, and the books collected in the library were
The secrets for the first to fifth levels were also written and compiled by villagers. It seems that 99% of them are pirated goods without paying the royalties. If Cihang Jingdian pursues this matter, then he will not only be the sixth private trainer of Jinzhong
Instead, he secretly practiced Cihang Jingdian's martial arts from beginning to end.
(The matter is so serious. Sure enough, you shouldn’t be greedy for petty gains. If you had used the genuine version, you wouldn’t be in such trouble now...) This thought flashed through Sun Wu’s mind, but Yuan Chenfeng, who had confirmed the origin, had already changed the subject.
Instead, he asked Sun Wu whether he could help with the lost property he came to Mingdeba to look for. Sun Wu thought about it and took the opportunity to ask about the biggest confusion since leaving the village.
The reason for leaving the village was to find the Buddha's blood relic, but before that, I felt a little uncoordinated and confused about the calm Liangshanbo. This confusion was broken by Nalan Yuandie's Feiyun Ship
, the secret of Liang Shanbo finally emerged under the sun. After I left the village, I have always wanted to know what kind of existence Liang Shanbo is in the eyes of outsiders.
You can't ask Xiao Shang this question, nor can you ask anyone at random, because if you ask someone who doesn't have enough weight, you will only get a half-hearted answer that makes you even more 'confused'.
Yuan Chenfeng is undoubtedly a very important person. He has seen a wide range of the world and his words are pertinent and trustworthy. He is the best choice to resolve his doubts. Therefore, Sun Wu recommended that Master
He told Yuan Chenfeng that the whereabouts of the lost property was related to Liang Shanbo, so he asked Yuan Chenfeng for information about Liang Shanbo.
"You are talking about the legendary Liangshan Po... Well, as you heard, it is just a legend among people, but I think it should exist."
Mentioning the name of Liangshanbo, a trace of yearning and confusion appeared on the face of the young man in white.
"The existence of Liangshanbo has been a legend so far. No one can prove that it really exists, but no one can prove that it doesn't exist. This legend didn't last long, and it probably only gradually spread after the fall of the Taiping Army.
Therefore, in the earliest days, what Liang Shanbo represented was the lost treasure of the Taiping Army."
Yuan Chenfeng slowly sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and he could see that the various rumors about Liang Shanbo were too complicated and scattered, so he had to recall them one by one in order to effectively sort out a system.
"Many dynasties in history have hidden secrets of treasures, and even this dynasty is no exception. There have been rumors that when the Dawu royal family founded the country, they hid a large amount of treasures collected somewhere in order to prepare for the decline of the dynasty and the future generations.
The capital can make a comeback, even if it doesn't work, it can still survive. Compared with this theory, the theory of the Taiping Army's treasure trove is even more attractive."
When Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Military State, was breached, the generals of the Dawu Army who were ordered to search and plunder took the lead in opening the royal treasury in Tianjing. However, they only saw an empty grotto, and countless priceless treasures inside had long since disappeared. The furious
The generals of the Dawu Army tortured the prisoners and even used magic weapons that could read brain waves. They used all means to trace the case, but in the end they got a strange answer.
All the treasures had been quietly transported away before the city of Tianjing was destroyed. The entire operation was extremely confidential. Even most of the top brass of the Taiping Army were kept in the dark. However, it was later revealed that it caused an uproar among the senior officials in Tianjing.
But no one knows the exact whereabouts of these treasures. Only one operation codename has been handed down: Liangshan Bo.
This inexplicable code confused everyone, and made the general of the Dawu Army who was responsible for the torture furious. After getting no answer no matter how hard he tortured him, he ordered all the prisoners to be buried alive in pits and killed. Of course, he himself did not have a good ending.
The current Emperor Dawu was not a benevolent monarch, and he also did not believe that he had gained nothing from the torture, so he was imprisoned in the sky prison.
When the general took his last breath in prison, there was not a single intact piece of flesh on his body. With his death, the clues to the Taiping Army's treasures were cut off, and countless more were added through people's whispers.
Mysterious color.
During the heyday of the Taiping Military State, the mysterious disappearance of magical weapons and weapons was also a major mystery in history. The value of this mystery is even more than that of the huge batch of treasures. I don’t know when, there began to be such a legend in the world.
The huge batch of treasures that disappeared from Tianjing, as well as the top magic weapons of the Taiping Military State at its peak, were all hidden in a secret place, waiting for its destined emperor to come and collect it, and use it to rebuild the military kingdom's hegemony, and the name of that place is
Liangshan Bo.
"...Above the nine heavens, in the sea of ten thousand clouds, there is an island floating in the air, and its name is Liangshan. Liangshan is also the place of forgiveness of sins. It hides the greatest treasures in the world and collects the sinners in the world. They are sealed here forever and float in the sky.
The road is passable, but only the brave can ride on the wind and step on the clouds, and enter the Liangshan Mountains by walking on the cloud road and the ladder to heaven..."
Yuan Chenfeng recited a passage, which is the most widely circulated description in the world, describing the location of Liangshanbo: a small island floating in mid-air.
To make a small island float into the sky, the huge energy and sophisticated technology involved behind this could not be achieved even by the Taiping Army at its peak. This sentence sounds too ridiculous, but it still has a knack for money.
People believe that they have spent many years tracking Liangshan Bo and developing the so-called Cloud Road Ladder. It is a violent storm unique to a certain valley in the northwest and an unparalleled natural disaster.
Being swept up into the sky by a huge tornado and thrown into the clouds, if you are lucky, you may enter Liangshanbo. If you are unlucky, you may fall to death, or even die in the tornado before that. The mortality rate in the whole process is as high as 99%.
, the way to reach heaven pointed out in the ballad is indeed difficult and difficult, but there are still people who are willing to risk their lives to explore it and die for it.
"There have been many people who dream of getting rich and think they can climb Mount Liang in one step for more than ten years. However, there are many people who dream of getting rich, but none of them can come back successfully. No one has ever been able to survive a tornado.
Come back and tell the world what Liang Shanbo is like."
Yuan Chenfeng shook his head as he spoke, as if he was annoyed with the ignorance and greed of these people, but he also seemed to have a bit of yearning for Liang Shanbo. Seeing him like this, Sun Wu felt even more embarrassed to say what he said. If he told others about himself at this time,
Coming from Liangshanbo, people may really think that I am crazy.
However, in such a situation, there are only two types of people who will look for Liang Shanbo, one is a fool who is obsessed with money, and the other is a sinner who is chased to the point of despair. In addition to treasure hunters, there are many people who are obsessed with money.
Criminals who are forced to have no place to stay will simply go to the northwest mountainous area, wait for the ladder to rise on the cloud road, and jump in to take the adventure of a near-death experience.
They will be chased until they have nowhere to go. These criminals must have many enemies, but no one will follow them into the tornado. Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the world. As long as someone ignores life and death and climbs the Cloud Road Ladder
If he does not come back again, all the sins he has committed will be automatically forgiven. Even the imperial court's Ministry of Punishment recognizes this rule and never sends people to pursue criminals who climb the Cloud Road Stairway, because in people's minds, these criminals are equal to
Dead people.
"These criminals took their most cherished things with them and jumped into the tornado with consciousness. If the people had not died, those magic weapons and property would have fallen into Liangshanbo. Therefore, the list of Liangshanbo treasures will be updated every month.
version, seriously speaking, Liangshanbo is really a dream within a dream, the city with the greatest treasure in the world."
However, although treasures are treasures and magical treasures are also rare treasures, so many things flowing into Liangshanbo are also divided into grades. Among the treasure legends in the past ten years, the most interesting ones are a few of them.
.
The royal treasure of the Taiping Army! The gold and silver jewelry stored in the Tianjing Treasury at that time were priceless, enough to cover the Taiping Army’s military salary expenses for more than half a year. It was an astronomical sum of money. If you can get your hands on this treasure,
Being as rich as a country is definitely not a boast.
The alluring beauty who is known as the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world! After the end of the Taiping Rebellion, there is a saying among the people. It is said that there is a stunning beauty with an alluring appearance who assisted the Dawu Dynasty in developing magic weapons, so the Dawu Army was able to develop magic weapons.
A breakthrough was made. The most beautiful woman entered Liangshan Po for some unknown reason, and her whereabouts are unknown since then. She also became the inevitable target that the Dawu Dynasty was searching for.
The invincible magic power of the peerless sky demon! The reason why the sky demon was invincible in the world at that time was the supreme magic power "A Nose Blood Tribulation", which still makes the warriors in Middle-earth change their color after hearing about it. After the death of the sky demon, this magic skill
There is no successor to this skill, but it is rumored that the secret book of this supreme magic skill is also stored in Liangshan Bo.
Buddha's blood relic! This is the most evil thing of the Demon Sect in the Middle Earth. It has been passed down for thousands of years. For a long time, this relic was even the proof of the leader of the Demon Sect in the Middle Earth. It was only passed down to
The strongest person in the Demon Sect, and this bead, which was carved from a meteorite from outside the sky, was named after the strongmen of the Demon Sect slaughtered countless eminent monks for thousands of years and raised the pearl with their blood. It is said that the bead contains extremely powerful power.
If you can successfully absorb the energy, you can become a peerless master overnight.
Huge treasures, stunning beauties, priceless magic skills, peerless martial arts, these are the things that the world dreams of. As long as you get these things, let alone be all-powerful, you can even raise an army, just like the Taiping Army.
, compete for the throne, create an imperial hegemony, this is the reason why Liangshanbo's treasures are attractive.
"...But in the end, these are just rumors. If these things really exist, wouldn't the Lord of Liangshanbo have already practiced peerless magical skills, used invincible magic weapons, and led an army to break into the city and seize the land?"
Yuan Chenfeng smiled and said: "It's just that if there is really someone in Liangshan Po, and there really is a master, then the owner of Liang Shan Po must be a very scary person."
"Why?"
Sun Wu was very surprised, because there was only one person who could be called the Lord of Liangshanbo, and the image of that person in his mind had nothing to do with the word "terrible", so he heard this
His only feeling was that it was extremely ridiculous.
"Because those who can pass the test of the Cloud Road Ladder and enter Liangshanbo are the most cruel and cunning first-class strongmen in the world, Liangshanbo should have become a place of crime that gathers the world's most serious criminals. These criminals are not only individuals
All of them have unique skills, and their schemes are even more vicious and cunning. If anyone can really subdue these inhumane criminals and bring them under management, this person... I can only say that he is terrible."
Yuan Chenfeng's last words were very serious and sincere, but he did not notice that Sun Wu's expression on the other side was unusually astonished.
