Just when Jiang Zhenhai was filled with emotion, a man walked to the stage and knelt down in front of Jiang Zhenhai with a "plop".
"My subordinate Lei Potian is guilty, please punish President Jiang!" Lei Potian lowered his head sadly, feeling unspeakable regret in his heart. If he had not chosen to stab Jiang Zhenhai in the back, there would be no need for him to do so.
Is Lei Potian afraid of death? Of course he is not, otherwise he would not be able to gain Jiang Zhenhai's trust, but he has to think about his disciples and grandchildren.
Just like he was forced to succumb to Huang Wuji, now in order to save his disciples and grandchildren, he can only stand up and take the blame.
At this moment, everyone is looking at Jiang Zhenhai, guessing that Jiang Zhenhai is going to use Lei Potian to scare the monkeys! After all, the most intolerable thing no matter who is betrayal, especially the betrayal of the most trusted person, can only be severely punished.
Only in this way can the anger be calmed and everyone can be frightened.
Jiang Zhenhai looked at Lei Potian kneeling under the stage with a complicated expression. This person was once his close friend. Naturally, he also understood Lei Potian's character and was afraid that he might poison him. This was also the last resort. Just like he had,
Weren't you also forced to almost die by Huang Wuji?
After all, monsters like Xiao He are not found in every local Tianwu Association.
He said earnestly: "Old man, if you don't want to fight side by side with me, you can just say so. I won't blame you, but you shouldn't act as an accomplice to my disciples!"
"Looking at the decades of dedication you have given to the Tianwu Association, you abandoned your martial arts skills and stepped down as president. I will not hold your disciples accountable."
After hearing what Jiang Zhenhai said, Lei Potian raised his head in shame and said, "Thank you, President!"
At this moment, he didn't feel any unwillingness or hatred, but felt relieved.
After speaking, Lei Potian slapped his own Dantian with a palm. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his whole body collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Zhenhai waved his hand and asked people to carry Lei Potian down.
Next, Jiang Zhenhai struck while the iron was hot and used thunderous means to remove some local presidents who were loyal to Huang Wuji. Some of them wanted to resist, but they were all directly eliminated by Xiao He.
Of course, Jiang Zhenhai doesn't just use iron-fist methods. The only way to win over is to win over a group of people and defeat a group of others. For some neutral presidents, he appointed them as elders and entered the core management of Zhongzhou. Those who were willing to submit to the local Tianwu
Yes, he promised to reward me with the technique.
As for the directors and disciples of the eight major martial arts schools in Zhongzhou, Jiang Zhenhai allowed them to stay or stay. Those positions they were willing to stay would remain unchanged, and those who were unwilling to stay would not be forced to do so.
In the end, except for some of the directors and disciples of the Zhongzhou Tianwu Association who left, most of the directors and disciples chose to stay.
The world of martial arts is one where the weak prey on the strong. They all see how powerful Jiang Zhenhai is. Huang Wuji failed to defeat him despite all his tricks. What else are they dissatisfied with?
Besides, it's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Who doesn't want to follow the strong and eventually become the strong? Maybe they can get more benefits by staying.
It was not until dusk that Jiang Zhenhai made arrangements for the changes in the Tianwu Association in more than a dozen cities. Jincheng and his party did not leave anymore, but settled down at the Zhongzhou headquarters as they should.
Xiao He was worried about an accident, so he stayed by Jiang Zhenhai's side. With him behind Jiang Zhenhai, his orders could be carried out quickly, and basically no one dared to have any objections.
This was a master who even Huang Wuji dared to kill. Who wouldn't be afraid of him? For a time, Xiao He became the second person in the entire Zhongzhou Tianwu Association.
...
The next day, early in the morning, Xiao He received a call from his grandfather Xiao Yingshan, asking him to go to Xiao's house and have a chat in person.
From his grandfather's tone, Xiao He could tell that his grandfather wanted to chat with him about the martial arts association. After all, the Xiao family was also one of the five major families in Zhongzhou. What happened at the headquarters of the Tianwu Association yesterday must not be hidden from his grandfather.
So Xiao He left Qing Lang behind, told Jiang Zhenhai, and left the Tianwu Association.
Jiang Zhenhai also knew that Xiao He's biggest role by his side was to intimidate him. Now that the situation was basically stable, as for the specific handling of the affairs of the Tianwu Association, Xiao He, the hands-off shopkeeper, could not be of much help, so he agreed with Xiao He.
of leaving.
At nine o'clock in the morning, at the main villa of the Xiao family, Xiao He was respectfully invited to the study room where Xiao Yingshan was located by the old butler Uncle Fu.
This was the second time Xiao He came to his grandfather's study. The first time was when he was looking for his grandfather to find an inkstone to deal with Qi Dayong.
At that time, he was shocked by the antiques in his grandfather's study. The antiques, calligraphy and paintings from various dynasties and generations displayed here were basically equivalent to a miniature version of the Treasure Pavilion.
After Xiao He entered the door, he saw Xiao Yingshan wearing a white Tang suit, looking at an ancient sword in a daze with his hands behind his back. Xiao Yingshan's body was upright, and ordinary people couldn't see the difference, but to Xiao He, he felt like a tree.
Like a vigorous old pine tree firmly gripping the ground.
"Grandpa!" Xiao He called softly.
"Xiaohe, you're here, sit down quickly!" Xiao Yingshan turned his head, pointed to the chair on one side and said in a friendly tone.
Xiao He nodded and sat directly on the chair.
Xiao Yingshan came to him and sat down in front of him without any haste, "Xiaohe, do you know why I called you here?"
"It should be about the Tianwu Association!" Xiao He responded respectfully.
Since he knew that his grandfather was also a master of martial arts, he no longer dared to treat him like a normal relative, but had a little more respect for him. Especially since his grandfather came to him so urgently, there must be something important.
Tell yourself.
Xiao Yingshan was not surprised that Xiao He could guess his purpose and said: "Xiaohe, you were a little embarrassed about what happened yesterday. I know that Huang Wuji has a lot of grudges with you, but it is not your responsibility to kill him!
"
When he said this, Xiao Yingshan showed a look of worry on his face.
Xiao He asked with some confusion: "Grandpa, does Huang Wuji have any other background?"
As far as he knew, Huang Wuji was only the president of the Zhongzhou Tianwu Association, and he seemed to have no other identity.
If I have to say it, it is that Huang Wuji is still a member of the Huang family in Zhongzhou. The Huang family is also one of the five major families in Zhongzhou. However, Huang Wuji's family is very thin. Apart from Huang Wuji, there are no big shots who can do anything!
Xiao Yingshan naturally knew Xiao He's doubts, and he asked: "Xiaohe, do you know why the Huang family became one of the five major families?"
Xiao He didn't know anything about this, and the information given by Nangong Li didn't mention this, so Xiao He just shook his head and waited for Xiao Yingshan's explanation.
Xiao Yingshan stood up and walked around the study while saying: "The Huang family came to Zhongzhou in Huang Wuji's grandfather's generation. At that time, the Huang family opened a martial arts school in Zhongzhou and really grew.
He relies on his father Huang Yinlong."
"Huang Yinlong is a martial arts genius who has not been seen in a century. He reached the Xuan level at the age of seventeen and entered the Earth level at the age of thirty. I fought with him thirty years ago. At that time, he was in the late Earth level."
"Since then, there has been no news about this person. It is said that he traveled to the East China Sea in search of opportunities for breakthrough."
Was it the late Earth Stage thirty years ago?
Hearing this, Xiao He couldn't help but frowned. If this person is still alive now, what kind of cultivation level should he have now?
Moreover, my grandfather also mentioned that Huang Yinlong went to the East China Sea. Could it be related to the swordsmanship practiced by Huang Tianhua?
