When General Kuhai led the people from Lianxintang to a forest, Chen Changshu saw a figure flashing in the forest, and immediately made a gesture to his disciples. The dozen disciples behind him immediately clenched their weapons and became alert.
.
Everyone in Lianxintang was shocked when they learned the identity of General Kuhai.
The Queen Mother Society has been developing congregations in Qingzhou for more than ten years. After the rebellion in Qingzhou was put down, the main force of the Queen Mother's remnants moved to the south of the Yangtze River and sent a large number of members to the states of the Tang Dynasty to confuse the people, with the purpose of fighting against the empire.
Although the Jianghu factions did not have a good impression of the imperial court, they never thought of becoming enemies of the imperial court.
After Chen Changshu learned the identity of the other party, he actually did not want to get involved with the Queen Mother Association.
But Lianxintang was in a difficult situation now, and might be annihilated on this island. Now that there was a chance, Chen Changshu thought about it again and again, and finally led his disciples to follow Kuhai to the hiding place of the Seven Killing Sword Sect.
General Kuhai raised his hand to signal everyone in Lianxintang not to be nervous.
Soon, I saw a figure slowly walking out of the forest. He was wearing a gray-brown gown and holding a long sword in his hand. He was in his fifties and had a stern expression.
"Master Tang and Master Chen, do you two know each other?" Ku Hai said gently: "Master Tang, don't get me wrong, Master Chen is here sincerely to form an alliance with the Seven Killing Sword Sect."
The man in the long gown was none other than Tang Jingyi, the leader of the Seven Kills Sword Sect, and he was also a well-known person in the world.
Chen Changshu had naturally heard of Tang Jingyi's reputation, but had never seen him before. He raised his hand to Tang Jingyi, and Tang Jingyi returned the gesture, then raised his hand and said: "Please!" which meant that Chen Changshu went into the forest to talk.
Chen Changshu's heart tightened, knowing that if an ambush was set up in the forest, he would not be able to get in at that time, and he hesitated in his heart.
Tang Jingyi sneered, Chen Changshu no longer hesitated, and walked away. All the disciples behind him immediately followed.
After these days of fighting, everyone is wary of outsiders.
There were about ten disciples of Tang Jingyi's sect in the forest. They were all on guard when they saw someone coming in.
Tang Jingyi took the lead and sat down under a tree. When Chen Changshu sat down opposite, he glanced at Chen Changshu's broken arm and finally sighed: "It seems that Master Chen also suffered heavy losses."
"We are being hunted by Jinshan Temple." Chen Changshu knew that he had to join forces and wanted to be honest with him, saying: "Someone pretended to be me and attacked and killed Guang Hui of Jinshan Temple. Jinshan Temple believed that I was the murderer and chased me. They fought twice, killing and wounding me.
It’s no secret that my left arm was also cut off by Monk Guangyuan.”
Tang Jingyi said: "Jinshan Temple is the head of Buddhism. It is at the sixth level of Guangyuan and has excellent martial arts. You have enmity with Jinshan Temple. If you don't explain it clearly, you won't be able to get out of Penglai Island."
"I heard that Master Tang also had a deadly feud with the Yellow River Gang?" Chen Changshu said: "The second master of the Yellow River Gang was killed by Master Tang's Taixu sword technique."
"If someone can impersonate you, they can also impersonate me." Tang Jingyi said with a cold face and clenched his fists: "Someone is instigating them to make the factions fight to the death, so that they can benefit."
The masked man, General Kuhai, finally said: "Master Tang, I promised you that I will find the real murderer, and now we have the result."
"oh?"
Ku Hai threw the piece of purple clothing order to Tang Jingyi. Tang Jingyi took it with his hand, glanced at it, frowned and said, "What is this?"
"Purple-clothed Order." Kuhai said: "Tonight someone pretended to be Taoist Tianfeng from Yuanchi Temple and attacked the disciples of Lianxintang. I happened to intercept him and found this token from him. This is the certificate of the Purple-clothed Supervisor.
The iron plate of identity.”
Tang Jingyi was surprised and said: "The people from the Purple Clothes Prison have also landed on the island? Where is the assassin?"
"Already dead." General Kuhai said: "Headmaster Chen can prove that the assassin is indeed a eunuch."
Chen Changshu nodded and said: "Yes, it has been proven that he is indeed the eunuch. The eunuch pretended to be Taoist Master Tianfeng and killed my disciple. Fortunately, General Ku Hai intercepted him and found out the identity of the murderer."
He deliberately revealed the identity of General Kuhai to see if Tang Jingyi knew.
Seeing Tang Jingyi's natural expression, he knew that General Kuhai had already told him his identity.
"It turns out they are these lackeys of the imperial court." Tang Jingyi said angrily: "Zi Yi Jian wants to provoke us to fight and reap the benefits. They also covet the martial arts on the island, so they sent people here. It's just because of Zi Yi Jian's knowledge
My strength cannot cope with so many sects, so I resort to despicable and underhanded methods."
"I'm afraid those letters of unknown origin were also spread out by people sent by the Purple Clothes Supervisor." General Kuhai said slowly.
Chen Changshu frowned and said, "Why are they doing this? Wouldn't it be easier if the Ziyi Prisoner concealed the information and acted alone to mobilize men to kill Penglai Island?"
"The reason is very simple." General Kuhai said: "Penglai Island is the Taoist dojo with many masters. Outsiders cannot go to the island at all, otherwise they will be annihilated. Although there are only a few Tianzhai disciples left on the island now.
, but the Ziyi Supervisor knew very little about the situation on the island, and they did not dare to land on the island rashly, so they spread the news that Dao Zun was dead and wanted the Jianghu sects to land on the island to test it." After a pause, he continued: "Kyoto
A big change happened, and the two leaders naturally heard about it. As far as I know, the Purple Clothes Prison was purged and its strength was greatly damaged. As a result, it was difficult to deter the various factions in the world. They took this opportunity to use the library on the island to
It is used as a bait to cause the various factions to fight and weaken the strength of each faction, so that in the future, it can continue to dominate and dominate the factions."
"That makes sense." Chen Changshu nodded slightly and said, "The general revealed the sinister intentions of the Purple Clothes Prisoner in one sentence."
Tang Jingyi asked: "General, what do you think we should do next?"
"Of course we can't let Zi Yi Jian's trick succeed." General Ku Hai said: "First of all, we need to expose Zi Yi Jian's sinister intentions, let other Jianghu colleagues know that there is someone behind the scenes, and let them know that we have been tricked by Zi Yi.
They came to the island to kill each other. If this continues, the factions will suffer heavy casualties, and many people will die here. This is definitely not what we want to see." After a pause, he continued: "In addition to wanting to
To expose the Ziyi Prison's conspiracy, we must also turn the wars between the various factions into friendship."
Chen Changshu sighed: "The general said it was too easy. The island has been fighting for several days, and each faction has suffered heavy casualties. Even if there was no enmity before, this time there is a deep hatred. It is not easy for all the factions to turn their hostility into friendship.
.”
General Kuhai smiled and said: "Unless they all want to die on the island, and they don't want to get Tao Zun's martial arts book."
"What do you mean, General?"
"On the island, the weak are the strongest. The three sects of Bashan Sword Sect, Jinshan Temple and Sun-Moon Alliance have outstanding strength, which cannot be compared with other sects." Kuhai said: "If we fight alone, there will be heavy casualties, and the only one who can finally obtain the martial arts is
It's those three sects." He glanced at the two sect leaders and then said slowly: "Other sects must join forces, not only to save their lives, but also to compete with the three sects in numbers. Only in this way can we
Take the opportunity to leave the island with a martial arts score."
Chen Changshu said: "I have no grudge against Master Tang, so I am naturally willing to join forces. But do other sects think so?" "Actually, except for those three sects, all other sects are uneasy. At this point, they all know that
Relying on your own strength alone, there is no way out." General Kuhai said calmly: "The only way out is for everyone to turn their hostility into friendship and advance and retreat together." After a pause, he continued: "To be honest with you two, I have already
Send people to persuade other factions, and as long as their minds are clear, they will definitely form an alliance."
Chen Changshu said: "If we can convince various factions, that would be great."
"Once the factions form an alliance, in order to act in unison, they will definitely need a temporary leader." General Kuhai said: "A snake cannot survive without a leader. Without a leader who can strategize, even if an alliance is formed, it will be a mess." After a pause, he said:
"The two sects are the first to form an alliance, and the two leaders are both very prestigious seniors in the world. To recommend the leader of the alliance, I think one should be selected from the two. But what do you think?"
Tang Jingyi and Chen Changshu looked at each other and said nothing.
"This matter is of great importance." General Kuhai said solemnly: "If you cannot choose an alliance leader, many things will not be done later. After selecting an alliance leader from the two, if you want to join the alliance in the future,
Everyone must obey the instructions of the temporary alliance leader. There is no rule without rules. Only in this way can it benefit everyone." He looked at Chen Changshu and said: "Master Chen, you are several years older than Master Tang. I don't know what you have.
view?"
Chen Changshu thought for a while and then said: "As long as we can protect all the disciples of my Lianxin Hall and escape from this island, it doesn't matter who is the leader. I should obey the orders." He looked at Tang Jingyi and said: "Master Tang.
He has great martial arts skills and is the top swordsman in the world with extraordinary prestige. I have a broken arm and am just disabled. I also know myself and will not compete with Master Tang for the position of alliance leader."
Tang Jingyi smiled and said: "Master Chen, you are too polite. If I had been asked to be the temporary leader of the alliance before, I would not have refused." He looked at Kuhai and said, "But this time it was General Kuhai who promoted the alliance, and the general also
I sent my men to persuade other factions. If I continue to be the leader of the alliance, I really don’t know how to praise you. General, you have contributed the most to the alliance. If you can really get the factions to form an alliance, Tang is willing to support you.
Come and be the leader of this alliance."
"I'm just afraid that my background will be criticized." Kuhai sighed: "I am a member of the Queen Mother Society, and I am at odds with the imperial court. Jianghu sects are unwilling to be enemies of the imperial court, so I am afraid they will not support me. In fact, if I can advance and retreat together with you all,
, which is really what I want.”
Tang Jingyi said: "The Purple-clothed Prison has set up a trap to create discord and make us kill each other. This court wants to kill us, so why should we be polite to them? Your Queen Mother will always be in tit-for-tat with the court, and you will be the leader.
It would be best to help everyone eradicate those eunuchs on the island. General, Leader Chen and I fully support you. If anyone is dissatisfied, then go fight the three major sword sects yourself, and we will never help you."
Chen Changsheng immediately said: "Master Tang's words make sense. If the general hadn't discovered the Ziyi Prison's conspiracy, we would all have been harmed by him. Our biggest enemy at the moment is the Ziyi Prison. Let's chase the Ziyi Prison lackeys on the island first.
Only by killing them all can the hatred in my heart be cleared. General, since Master Tang has something to say here, I will also support you with all my strength."
"Since you two said this, I have no choice but to take responsibility." General Kuhai said: "I can promise you that not only can the Seven Kills Sword Sect and Lianxin Hall escape from the island, but I will definitely take you two into Tibet.
Library, don’t let you two go home empty-handed!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of birds coming from the northwest.
General Kuhai said: "I have news, you two come with me!" He led the two masters to the northwest corner of the forest quickly, and many disciples also followed.
