When the sun was about to set, Zhou Xingyun and others were preparing to return home. The organizer of the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena gave them a bag of silver, saying that it was Wei Suyao's reward for competing in the ring today.
Zhou Xingyun opened the bag and counted it. Good guy, there were dozens of taels of silver. This was no more than the pocket money Xiao Qiuqiu gave him!
It turns out that when you advance to Tianshu Peak for the first time, you can get a generous reward, and every time you win a group match at Tianshu Peak and every time you move up the ladder, you can get corresponding rewards.
For the penniless Zhou Xingyun, this was a godsend!
Just like that, Zhou Xingyun winked at Wei Suyao with a playful smile, probably saying, 'Suyao, look at this windfall, shall we divide it between the two of us?'.
Then, Zhou Xingyun smiled, stuffed the dozens of taels of silver that Wei Suyao earned from winning the game into his pocket, and said that he would treat him to dinner tonight.
Seeing this, Wei Suyao could only breathe a sigh of relief speechlessly, this man... is really shameless.
Zhou Xingyun and his party were walking on their way home, thinking that the first pleasant day would end with the setting of the sun.
However, when Zhou Xingyun and others returned to Wuwei City, they bumped into a group of people at the city gate.
Zhou Xingyun didn't recognize them, but the clothes they wore were somewhat similar to Sun Tongtong's clothes, so they should be disciples of the First Palace.
"Master Sun, you are finally back!"
"Did something go wrong with the hostage rescue operation?" Sun Butong looked at the panicked people and roughly guessed the reason.
They are the disciples of the First Palace. Today Sun Butong sent them to rescue the righteous people who were kidnapped by the evil sect. Now they come back empty-handed, which shows that things are not going well.
"Master Sun, with our strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to rescue the trapped righteous people."
"How to say?"
"The evil warriors set up a camp on the eastern outskirts of Wuwei City. The hostages were all under house arrest in luxurious tents in the camp. We watched from a distance and found that the evil warrior guarding the hostages was the master of the Spirit Snake Palace, as well as a group of evil Glory.
Wu Zun."
"The evil Martial Lord is personally guarding the hostages?" Sun Tongtong heard this and found it incredible. The dignified Martial Lord was doing the work of a minion and was responsible for guarding the hostages. Is this making a fuss out of a molehill?
"How should I put it? Rather than saying that they are guarding the hostages, it is better to say... that they are drinking and having fun with the hostages."
The disciples of the first house told the situation they saw in this way.
There were not many righteous people under house arrest in the camp, only about twenty people. Hengyu hosted a banquet to entertain them, including fine wine, fragrant meat, and dancing girls. The scene could be described as extravagant.
Hengyu, Shenquan, Xuanyang Tianzun and several evil warriors were all drinking with him.
The disciples of the First Palace said bluntly that Hengyu and others hosted a banquet for the hostages and almost never left. If they forced their way into the banquet to rescue the hostages, they would definitely return in vain.
Instead of abusing the hostages, the evil warriors entertained them with wine and meat. Hengyu, Shen Quan, Xuanyang Tianzun and other evil masters also pretended to be private, eating, drinking and having fun with the captured righteous people.
Most of the righteous people kidnapped by the evil warriors are the treasures of various sects, and they are legitimate playboys. Now the evil sects are holding banquets day and night, and the expenses will be paid by the martial arts alliance.
Don't worry if you are having fun now, you will definitely make a list in the future.
The evil warriors summoned almost all the girls from the brothels in Wuwei City to their camp to sing and dance. All the cooks and waiters from the big restaurants in Wuwei City were also hired to work in the camp to prepare for the banquet.
The evil warriors are so extravagant and extravagant, aren't the shopkeepers of Wuwei City worried that they will default on their debts?
First of all, the evil martial artist gave a deposit, which was obtained from the righteous martial arts sect, and was the living expenses of the hostages. Now Hengyu and others just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddhas, used the hostages' living expenses as deposits, and hired girls from brothels and servants in the cafeteria.
.
Secondly, the evil warriors encouraged the hostages to put deposits on the bills for the banquets. As a result, the shopkeepers also went to those righteous sects to collect debts.
The hostages used their masters as guarantees, so the shopkeepers naturally did not worry that they would default on their debts.
Because of this, Chu Wenxuan said that the hostages have no use value and their value has been squeezed dry.
In recent days, the evil warriors of the Spirit Snake Palace have been having a great time. They drink and eat every day, the dancers sing and dance, and the troupe performs one after another. They have a great time. Anyway, the expenses for holding the banquet are all paid by the righteous sect.
bear.
To be honest, even if the Wulin Alliance doesn't send anyone to rescue the hostages, Hengyu and others will release the hostages and go home if they play for a few more days.
It is true that Sun Butong and others did not know what medicine Hengyu and others bought in the gourd. When he learned that a group of masters held a banquet to entertain the hostages, he just felt baffled.
If Hengyu and others imprison the hostages, the masters of the First Palace can sneak in and try to rescue the hostages.
Now the hostages are treated like VIPs and are being raised by the evil disciples. Hengyu and other evil warriors are like personal bodyguards, taking the initiative to accompany the hostages.
This makes the disciples of the First Palace unable to start...
Sun BuTong's original plan was to first send experts from the First Palace to investigate the specific location where the hostages were under house arrest.
Then, Sun Fangjin led his men to pretend to attack the evil camp, while Sun Bu Tong led his men to go around and rescue the hostages, putting on a good show for the world, in which the tiger fled from the mountain and attacked in the east.
Sun BuTong's idea was a good one, but unfortunately it doesn't work now because the evil sect members did not put the hostages under house arrest somewhere, but directly placed them in a public place.
Sun BuTong was very curious, what happened to these hostages? Why didn't they find a chance to escape?
The evil warriors were so open-minded that they threw the hostages into the crowd. Under normal circumstances, the hostages could create chaos and escape, and one by one they could escape.
It was a good time now. The hostages and the evil warriors were drinking and singing, as if they had forgotten their own situation.
All the hostages who dare to love me feel that I am not only good to eat and live here, but also accompanied by beautiful women. During the day, I drink and eat meat, listen to music, dance and watch movies, and at night, I sleep with beautiful women, talk about love and guide the country.
This life was so comfortable that everyone couldn't bear to leave.
Maybe even if Hengyu asks them to leave, they won't be willing to leave.
Sun BuTong and others did not know that Hengyu, Xuanyang Tianzun and others were still praising the hostages present at the banquet, saying that they were heroes in the world, and praising them as better than Sun BuTong and Qiu Zhiping.
A group of dandy boys from the righteous sect were recognized by martial arts masters, and they were extremely happy in their hearts.
Since they are playboys, they must be lectured by their elders on a daily basis.
You are worthless, you have no ability, look at that person, look at yourselves...it’s really useless!
They heard such lectures that their ears became calloused. Now the martial arts master said that they were excellent, but their elders were blind and did not realize their potential, so they felt that they were not as good as Sun Tongbu and Qiu Zhiping.
During this period, Hengyu, Shen Quan, and Xuanyang Tianzun also gave them some pointers and taught them some quick martial arts, making them feel that they were good at it.
A brave general meets a wise commander, a wise man meets a wise king, a thousand-mile horse meets a bole! What a bosom friend! All the hostages sincerely felt that masters such as Heng Yu and Shen Quan were the bosom friends who knew and understood them!
The elders compare Sun Tongtong in the first palace, Pingyi and Hongzhe in Chongming Pavilion, and Sanyutang in Yinlongju every day, and say how others are good and how they are not good.
Is this interesting? They don’t think they are any worse than others!
All in all, many hostages taken hostage by evil warriors feel that Hengyu and others are very understanding, ten thousand times better than those righteous sects who point at them every day and make irresponsible remarks!
Even if the elders say that about themselves, why do the people next door laugh at them for being worthless? Why do they call them playboys?
As a result, a very strange phenomenon occurred. Several members of the first palace tried to sneak into the banquet and tried to bring out a hostage. Instead of running away, the hostage loudly informed Hengyu.
As a result, three disciples of the First Palace failed to save people but were arrested and fell into the hands of evil warriors.
Why does the first palace gatekeeper look panicked?
This is the reason! They no longer know how to rescue the hostages, so they can only wait for Sun Butong to come back and make the decision.
Sun Tongtong listened to his colleague's report of the whole incident, frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said to everyone: "Let's go back to the hall first, and gather in the hall after dinner to discuss matters related to rescuing the hostages."
Because things became very strange, Sun Tongtong changed his original plan and no longer let the First Palace take over the rescue.
Not only did the hostages not want to be rescued by them, but they also informed Hengyu that they had captured someone from the First Palace? What does this mean? Anyway, Sun Butong racked his brains and couldn't figure out the reason.
Could it be that the hostages are colluding with the evil sect? If this is the case, Sun Tongtong needs everyone in the Wulin League to witness it.
Under the dark night, dim candlelight lit up in the main hall of the Wulin Alliance Hall.
Sun Tongtong, He Qinghai, Zhou Xingyun and other members of the martial arts alliance all gathered in the lobby.
First of all, He Qinghai briefly reported to everyone that the Wulin League suffered very serious losses during this escort trip.
The employer was very angry and demanded full compensation from the Wulin League. They negotiated with the employer for a day but could not reach a final plan.
Because the goods were destroyed, it was not just a matter of losing money for the Wulin Alliance and the employer.
The employer who hired the Wulin League escorts was Yu Yuan, who was known as the richest man in the Central Plains. He was also the leader of the Southern Chamber of Commerce.
Reputation is very important to merchants and chambers of commerce. When the goods you promised to buyers are gone, this is not just a small matter of bad business. It is because you broke your word, and the business was concluded, but the goods were not delivered! Yes! A big problem affecting the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce!
Therefore, Yu Yuanwai was very angry. Even though the Wulin Alliance said nicely at the beginning and guaranteed that the goods would be safe, Yu Yuanwai was very angry now.
Nowadays, the new Wulin League's loss of money is a minor matter, but the damage to its reputation is a big problem.
To put it bluntly, if the top leader of the Southern Territory Chamber of Commerce bluntly stated that the Wulin Alliance was not good enough, then in the future businessmen running business in the Southern Territory would probably not hire anyone from the Wulin Alliance.
Now, in order to avoid this situation, He Qinghai is doing his best to consult with Yu Yu.
He Qinghai said a lot to everyone, but Zhou Xingyun could sum it up in one sentence, that is...I am so worried about escorting the escorts now that I have no time to deal with rescuing the hostages. Nephew Sun Xian, you can do whatever you want.
