Meng Xiuyuan was very surprised by the man's words.
Why did He Taichong suddenly think of dealing with the Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao when he was doing well?
Although the two of them have been active in the Western Regions all year round, the Western Region is so big that it is not certain whether they have met in this life. Just like Yang Xiao in the original work, they also met when they rescued Zhang Wuji from He Taichong and his wife.
The first time we met.
Moreover, Meng Xiuyuan did not remember that there was a story about the "Bat Extermination Conference".
He Taichong is a selfish and henpecked person. What is the motivation for his interests that makes him invite everyone to hold this [Bat Extermination Conference] even though he owes so many favors to the major factions?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Meng Xiuyuan's mind, and many doubts could not be solved.
But when the question came to his lips, it became:
"Do you know who from the Wudang Clan came to participate in this bat-killing meeting? Why is he not seen in the hall?"
The man blinked innocently and answered honestly:
"I don't know either. Everyone from the six major sects was invited by Master He to rest in the back hall. Only we were left here."
Meng Xiuyuan nodded to express his understanding. He was about to ask again, but he didn't expect that the man from the Haisha Gang was the first to say:
"My hero, you see, I don't dare to resist you. There is no need to keep pressing me down like this. The ground is quite cold, why don't we stand up?"
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that this man would dare to say such things to him. But thinking about it, everyone was quite cooperative. He was just trying to get some information, and he had no grudges.
Simply, Meng Xiuyuan made a silent gesture to remind him again, and then lifted him up.
"Thank you, hero. When you clicked on me just now, I thought that the vampire bat Wei Yixiao was coming to catch me. I thought I was dead today..."
This guy from the Haisha Gang was really familiar with him. Under such circumstances, he actually started chatting with Meng Xiuyuan again in a low voice.
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but find this person interesting, so he followed his words and asked:
"The Kunlun Sect said they were going to hold a [Bat Extermination Conference] because they captured the Kunlun Sect's disciples and sucked their blood?"
The man nodded quickly, with a concerned look on his face:
"It's not that bad. I heard that it has harmed many people, young and old. Not to mention before, even after our group came, some people were arrested every two days.
Yesterday, a big brother from the nearby Shen Fist Sect was snatched away by the big bat right in front of me. No one could stop him. It was so scary..."
This man was probably really excited and even spoke with an accent unconsciously.
"I see..." After hearing what this man said, Meng Xiuyuan felt that it didn't sound like he was lying, and he had a general understanding of the situation here.
No wonder there was no one outside, and they all gathered in the main hall. It turned out that they were afraid of being targeted by the Green-winged Bat King, and no one of the disciples dared to be alone, as they were all afraid of being caught and having their blood sucked.
Although I don’t know why the Green-winged Bat King has formed a feud with the Kunlun Sect to such an extent that they are almost fighting to the death. However, the current situation at least confirms that the disciple sent by the Wudang Sect should be safe for the time being.
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the Haisha Gang man in front of him who looked at him carefully and respectfully, Meng Xiuyuan felt that he was indeed too cautious and had offended others for no reason, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Friend, I'm sorry. I just wanted to clarify the situation. I offended you so much, so please forgive me."
As Meng Xiuyuan spoke, he took out a small bag of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the hands of the man from the Haisha Gang.
He saw that this man was wearing simple clothes and had very few kung fu skills. He had just been squeezed out and sat on the outside. It was obvious that he had no status even in the Haisha Gang. He was considered a low-level gang member who was dragged in to make up the numbers.
For such a person, any verbal apology is false. It is better to give him a little money to really help him.
Sure enough, after the man got the silver, he was stunned for a moment. Then he opened the bag and saw the faint silver light inside, and his eyes instantly showed uncontrollable surprise.
Just a moment later, the man seemed to have thought of something, and as if he was electrocuted, he quickly closed the bag again, holding it with both hands and trying to return it to Meng Xiuyuan:
"My hero, why did you give me the money? Don't worry, I have a very strict reputation and I won't tell anyone what happened today.
I didn't see your face clearly, and I don't remember what you asked me.
If it doesn't work, I'll go back and find some dumb medicine to take. Please let me go..."
The more the man talked, the more frightened he became, and in the end he was almost crying.
I don't blame him, after all, in this situation, who would have thought that Meng Xiuyuan handed over this bag of money just to apologize to him.
Ever since he was fourteen years old and had no way out of food, he happened to join the Haisha Gang and became a member of the Jianghu. Yu had been living at the bottom of the Jianghu for more than ten years and was used to seeing the weak and the strong in the Jianghu.
How could he dare to believe that Meng Xiuyuan, a warrior with such high martial arts skills, would still be willing to reason with a little guy like him?
Meng Xiu saw this and was a little dumbfounded. He pushed the small bag of silver to him again with one hand and whispered:
"I hope you will accept the money, even if I want to express my apology.
But you're right about one thing, just pretend you haven't seen me today, and don't mention it to anyone else, so as not to get into more trouble."
After saying that, Meng Xiuyuan turned around and left.
Seeing this, the man held the silver coins in his hand and felt relieved at last. He was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that not only would he survive such a thing, he would even gain a lot.
Based on his past personality, at times like this, he would like to find a hole to crawl into, so as to keep himself safe and at the same time, he must not let others see that he has benefited, for fear that others will be jealous.
But he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Meng Xiuyuan's back. He suddenly felt a movement in his heart. He inexplicably felt an emotion that he had never experienced in the more than ten years he had been in the world. He couldn't help but take the initiative and whispered to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Hero, my name is Ji Fei, thank you!"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he turned around and smiled at him, then ignored him and the Qing Gong Yunshi left silently.
…
Then Meng Xiuyuan quietly sneaked into the back hall of the "Three Saints Church" and saw that everyone from the six major sects was indeed here.
The one from Emei is Master Jingxuan, the one from Shaolin is Master Kongzhi, the five elders from Kongtong are Zong Weixia and Tang Wenliang, and the one from Huashan is an old man who has never seen him before, but Meng Xiuyuan is not. I know him, and I guess he may be one of the two elders of Huashan.
Obviously, most of the people who came were masters from various sects and were considered top figures under the sect leader, which gave the Kunlun sect enough face.
Only Wudang sent someone, which surprised Meng Xiuyuan.
Song Qingshu, that brat, how dare he come here on his own?
