There were estimated to be twenty or thirty people in the lobby, but their groups were very distinct. Some were wearing cassocks, some were wearing Taoist robes, some were dressed in black, and some were wearing elegant skirts. The men, women, old and young gathered here are almost representatives of various sects in the current martial arts world. In front of everyone, there were nine large sandalwood chairs, four on each side, and one in the middle and at the front.
The person at the top of the list was an old man in black robes. This old man looked to be in his sixties, with white beard and hair, and his eyes were dull and dull, but no one present dared to look down upon him. No one else, probably because this old man is the head of the Thirteenth Village of Green Forest Heroes in the South, Zhang Lu. He has an iron palm and is famous all over the world. It can be said that except for Li Fudong from the northwest, no one present can compete with him in terms of reputation or strength.
The ones on the left and right are the monks with kind faces and the Taoists with strict laws. These two people are not practitioners. The monk is the abbot of Shaolin Temple who was the leader in martial arts in the past. And the identity of the Taoist is not simple. He is Taoist Qingxu, the contemporary head of the Kunlun Sect.
Normally, with their status, these two people would sit in the first place, and the others would have no objections. However, now both Shaolin and Kunlun are under the pressure of the imperial court, and their strength has been greatly reduced. Furthermore, Li Fudong and Zhang Lu held high the flag of righteousness, which really attracted a group of forces, especially not long ago when Li Fudong repelled the imperial army. Before this troubled time came, the latter naturally had an advantage over the former, and Shaolin and Kunlun had never had the ambition to compete for the world, so they could only settle for the second best.
Next up is Xiong Ba, an acquaintance of Ning Caichen. Although he is only the chief escort of the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau, as the number one escort agency in the world, anyone from the mixed escort agency will automatically move closer to him, so he has his current status. Not surprising either. As for the other positions, they were either gang leaders or leaders, all well-known figures in the world.
At this time, everyone in the lobby was talking and seemed to be discussing something. As soon as they saw Xiao Bieli coming in, they couldn't help but stop and look sideways. Those present remained calm, but many people standing exclaimed: "Farewell, Overlord Gun Xiao!"
"Brother Xiao, you're here." Xiongba seemed to have a good relationship with him, so he was the first to speak: Suddenly, seeing the blood stained on Xiao Biejie's body, he was surprised and said: "Hey, what are you?"
Xiao Bieli walked in carelessly and said nonchalantly: "Xiao came to the capital for the first time and took a nap in a teahouse. Unexpectedly, he ran into patrolling officers and soldiers. We just had a fight with them and killed a dozen people. This No, I had no choice but to take refuge here.¡±
He said he was seeking refuge, but Xiao Bielie didn't take it to heart at all. He walked to the front of the hall, glanced at everyone, and then cupped his hands towards Zhang Lu and said, "Xiao Bielie, the envoy under Li Shuai, has met Zhang Shuai."
As soon as these words were spoken, those sitting there were all horrified and moved. Although the Overlord Spear has a good reputation, it is not taken seriously by them yet. What they really care about is the Li Shuai he talks about. This Li Shuai naturally refers to Li Fudong, the leader of the Northwest Rebel Army. He has tens of thousands of people under his command, who are elite enough to compete with the imperial court. Not to mention that Li Fudong's own strength is superior to them, even those tens of thousands of horses can completely crush everyone present.
"Come, take a seat."
Although Zhang Lu is the chief of the Thirteenth Route and has nearly 10,000 troops, his momentum and strength are simply not enough to compete with Li Fudong. He called himself Zhang Shuai of the South, so he naturally wanted to compete in the Central Plains. Seeing everyone present changing their expressions, he felt very dissatisfied. However, the situation was not good, so he could only endure it. Besides, the visitor is a guest, so he cannot be looked down upon. So after giving an order, someone lifted a chair and placed it in front of Yuan.
Liao Yuan¡¯s face twitched slightly. Although Li Fudong was a domineering overlord before the uprising, he was not strong enough to compete with Shaolin, but now he has a real and comprehensive overwhelming power for them. The predestined relationship is very clear. What Zhang Lu did was simply to roast Xiao Biejie on the fire and isolate the power represented by Li Fudong. This kind of thing is something that Yuan Yuan is happy to see. But when this kind of thing happens to you and you are allowed to act as a pawn, it is not a good thing.
He glanced at Zhang Lu and closed his eyes, like an old monk in meditation. It was as if he had never seen this scene before. Taoist Qingxu, who was sitting opposite him, also sneered secretly when he saw this. Zhang Lu wanted them to be the leaders, which was a good idea, but unfortunately he not only underestimated them, but also chose the wrong time. He said nothing, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his mind with his nose, pretending he saw nothing.
People from the Shaolin and Kunlun sects have no objections. Even if other sect leaders or gang leaders are angry, they can only endure it at the moment.
"Xiao Biejie can come on behalf of Li Fudong, so he is certainly not a stupid person. Zhang Lu's small move revealed the scheming methods that surprised him, but also gave him the opportunity to see how these people chose. So he sat on it without any ceremony. Glancing back and forth, he was very satisfied with the result.
Xiao Bieli thought to himself: "Those who understand current affairsAs Junjie, these people seem to have a very clear understanding of the current situation. Although Zhang Lu has some means, unfortunately no matter how good his means are, he must have a strong backing. "
"The failure to steal the chicken will result in the loss of a handful of rice. While disappointed with everyone's performance, Zhang Lu secretly sighed, seeing that there was nothing he could do, so he could only try to take advantage of it in the future. He said: "Not long ago, Li Shuai defeated the imperial army in the northwest. Now there is an earthquake in the capital. As long as we add more fire, the world will definitely be in chaos. We have just decided to go to Jiangnan in three days." The uprising started at the same time as the capital, and Messenger Xiao arrived just in time. I believe that with Li Shuai's support, our work will be successful immediately."
Liao Yuan seemed to have just woken up and said, "Donor Zhang is right. With Li Shuai's help, we can do a lot." Taoist Qingxu also nodded and said, "This is the right reason."
With Yuan and Qingxu¡¯s approval, everyone else nodded, obviously agreeing with their approach.
Hearing this, Xiao Bielie was so angry that he almost vomited blood. These people said nice things, but they had already agreed on the date for the uprising, so what else did Xiao Bielie do? This is obviously to exclude them. Before coming, he planned to take the initiative for Li Shuai, and just now he thought it would be easy. Now it seems that I thought too beautifully. Although these people were afraid of Li Shuai's military strength, seeing that they decided everything aside from themselves, it was clear that they were unwilling to surrender to Li Shuai. But even so, he couldn't do anything when everyone had decided.
His mind changed and he sneered. That's fine. With them taking the lead, the imperial court will definitely not be able to besiege the northwest with all its strength. Li Shuai can also develop calmly. We will have to wait and see who will laugh and who will cry.
With the plan in mind, Xiao Bielie decided to add more fire to make their trouble as big as possible. He said: "Since you have decided to start a rebellion, Xiao will help everyone. Before coming, Li Shuai has arranged for people to send people away Come with five hundred strong bows and one hundred pairs of armor, and we will arrive in the capital at noon tomorrow."
¡¡
Hearing this, Ning Caichen was both happy and worried. Once this group of people breaks into trouble in the capital, there will definitely be a lot of commotion. The imperial court must be attracted by them, and he can easily free up his hands to go to Dali Prison to rescue his mentor. It's just that these people who started the uprising in the capital underestimated the power of the imperial court, and were afraid that the entire army would be annihilated.
However, when faced with such a thing, he would not stop it and was powerless to stop it. Division, division, and union are the general trend of the world, so how can he and his group participate in it?
He originally wanted to meet Xiong Ba, but now he has no intention of doing so. Back at the inn, Ning Caichen silently waited for the opportunity to come.
