Chapter 254 Alliance
Shen Ruiling was not surprised by Zuo Canglang's decision, but felt that it was expected.
As Chen Wensong said, this Hukou Cliff is the only way to attack Baiguling, and they will take it down sooner or later.
Besides, the bandits have blatantly given them a gauntlet. If they don't go, it is equivalent to showing weakness.
In this way, instead, it has fueled the arrogance of the bandit sect, and made Qingyun sect's face go where.
Therefore, given the arrogance of Qingyunmen such as Zuo Canglang, it is not uncommon for them to take over the opponent's gauntlet.
Obviously those bandits saw this, so they gave them a conspiracy and made them have to fight.
Here, after issuing the order, Zuo Canglang looked at Shen Ruiling and other local monks in Linhai County again and said:
"This time I entered the mountain, I hope you can manage the clansmen of each family well, with one heart and one mind, and destroy this group of bandits on the White Bone Ridge in one fell swoop!"
"Follow the elder's decree!"
Shen Ruiling and the other four immediately handed over to answer.
"Okay, everyone, go back and prepare!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Zuo Canglang had already spoken to send them off, Shen Ruiling and the others did not stop and walked directly outside the council hall.
After these people from Linhai County had all left, Zuo Canglang looked at a few Qingyunmen disciples beside him and asked:
"Did you find any strange expressions on their faces just now?"
Hearing this, the three Qingyunmen disciples shook their heads, and did not notice any strange expressions from Shen Ruiling and the others.
"Elder, I don't think this matter is groundless, we still need to be careful!" A disciple said.
Zuo Canglang glanced at him lightly, and then said:
"I will arrange this by myself, so don't think about it!"
"clear!"
...
At the same time, Shen Ruiling was walking on the path to his camp, thinking about something in his mind.
After Zuo Canglang issued the order, he just casually explained a few words to them, and then sent them away.
During this period, they didn't mention the relationship between them and the bandits, as if they didn't know it at all.
Zuo Canglang's actions were beyond Shen Ruiling's expectations. To say that he didn't know about it, Shen Ruiling obviously didn't believe it.
From the eyes of the Qingyunmen disciples looking at them, it can be seen that the Qingyunmen disciples have heard these rumors.
In this case, Zuo Canglang, as the leader of the Qingyunmen this time, thinks that someone has already reported to him.
But he didn't say it in parliament, obviously not going to take it on the surface.
Although Shen Ruiling was surprised by Zuo Canglang's actions, he also knew that the other party had to do it.
Now, if you want to encircle and suppress the hundreds of bandits on the White Bone Ridge, it is obviously not enough to rely on a few foundation-building monks from Qingyunmen. You must also rely on Shen Ruiling and other local monks in Linhai County.
So at this time, even if Zuo Canglang has doubts in his heart, it is not good to directly take action against Shen Ruiling and others. After all, he still needs the help of Shen Ruiling and others.
But Shen Ruiling knew that the estrangement between the two sides had already formed, and Zuo Canglang had to use them now, so he chose not to mention this matter.
Therefore, it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible, and not let it continue to age and turn into a disaster.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but feel a little big, and he was really not sure how to solve this matter.
At this moment, Shen Ruiling suddenly remembered what Shen Huanchi explained before leaving.
Let him talk to Du Wenfu when he can't decide something.
His Du family was also involved in this matter. Everyone had common concerns. Obviously, the two could discuss it together.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruiling didn't hesitate, turned around and walked towards the Du family's camp.
Qixia Mountain is not big, so the camps of the two families are not far apart. Shen Ruiling arrived at the Du family's camp after only half a cup of tea.
Under the leadership of the Du family, Shen Ruiling came to the place where Du Wenfu meditated and practiced.
"Senior Du, what a disturbance!"
After seeing Du Wenfu, Shen Ruiling bowed his hands.
"You're welcome, little friend!"
Du Wenfu waved his hand and said, and then made a gesture of invitation.
"Sit down, little friend!"
"Senior please!"
Shen Ruiling returned the salute, and then came to sit down on the mat in front of Du Wenfu.
After being seated, Shen Ruiling was no longer polite, and said bluntly:
"Senior, the patriarch explained to me before leaving. If there is anything that can't be decided, you can ask the senior to discuss it, so I also ask the senior to enlighten me!"
After hearing this, Du Wenfu's face also showed a deep meaning, and he placed a sound insulation barrier, and then slowly said:
"Is what little friend wants to ask about the rumor?"
"Exactly!"
Shen Ruiling nodded and said.
Hearing this, Du Wenfu was silent for a while before continuing to speak:
"Little friends should know that this is a tactic used by bandits to divide, in order to weaken the strength of our coalition and give them a chance!"
"This Rui Ling naturally understands, but now it seems that the people from Qingyunmen have believed the rumors and began to doubt us!"
Regarding Shen Ruiling's words, Du Wenfu shook his head and said:
"He Zuo Canglang is not someone who is easy to fool, and without absolute evidence, he is just a little suspicious and won't easily believe it.
And he also knows that this is the time to use us, so this matter was not mentioned to us in the parliament today. "
If Du Wenfu was still a little worried before today's parliament, then after the parliament, his heart is clear.
After a pause, Du Wenfu continued:
"But although he didn't mention it openly, he also told us what to do!"
"What do you mean by senior?"
Shen Ruiling asked with some vague understanding.
Seeing Shen Ruiling like that, Du Wenfu smiled lightly, and then explained:
"He Zuo Canglang didn't mention this matter at the council, he wanted us to prove our innocence!"
"Kill a bandit leader who built a foundation?"
Shen Ruiling asked back.
Hearing this, Du Wenfu first smiled, and then nodded slowly.
"His Zuo Canglang's mission is to exterminate this group of bandits, in fact, he doesn't care if we have any connection with the bandits.
As long as he kills these bandits, he can go back to do business, and this Linhai County matter has nothing to do with him! "
After listening to these words, Shen Ruiling felt a little bit in his heart and knew what he needed to do.
At this time, Du Wenfu said coldly:
"Of course some rumors are not necessarily groundless!"
Hearing this, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but look at Du Wenfu, only to see that the other party was looking at him meaningfully.
At this time, Shen Ruiling also pondered Du Wenfu's words in his heart.
It didn't take long for Shen Ruiling's face to gradually reveal the color of enlightenment.
Du Wenfu's implication is that there are indeed people in their four families who do have connections with bandits.
As for the four of them, the Chen family has the deepest relationship with the bandits.
After all, the incident in Linhaifang City was done by the Chen family in collusion with the bandits, and there is still a connection between them.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruiling immediately handed over and thanked Du Wenfu:
"Thank you senior for your pointer!"
"You're welcome, little friend, and that's what I said, you and I are in-laws, and we should help!"
Du Wenfu smiled and replied, at the same time there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
"The Shen family is considered a successor!"
Du Wenfu sighed silently in his heart, and then thought that his family did not have a younger generation who could provoke the leader, and his mood became lost again.
After a while, Du Wenfu looked at Shen Ruiling and said:
"I'm afraid that the crisis is not small when entering the mountain this time. The old man thinks that it is better for you and me to form an alliance and advance and retreat together. I don't know what the little friend thinks?"
Hearing this, Shen Ruiling's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a moment, he replied:
"Just as the senior said!"
"it is good!"
Immediately afterwards, the soundproof barrier disappeared, and two hearty laughter echoed in the tent.
