Chapter 39

When Situ Liang walked into the hall, there were three people whispering to each other inside, while Hall Master Zhao sat silently in his original position, drinking tea, as if he hadn't moved since Situ Liang left.

The sound of Situ Liang's footsteps brought the conversation of the three of them to an abrupt end. The three of them exchanged glances. The gray-haired old man sat on the chair and did not get up. The other two stood up. One was of medium build and looked A very capable man, and the other is a slightly taller, fair-faced middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, who walked to the middle of the hall to meet Situ Liang. The three greeted each other, and Situ Liang asked: "Zhang Hall Master, Hall Master Xing, how are you doing at home this year?"

The well-to-do middle-aged man said: "Fortunately, the New Year with family members is naturally enjoyable. Compared with Hall Master Situ staying alone in the gang, Xing is a little uneasy."

Situ Liang waved his hand and said, "I'm alone, so it's the same wherever I go? Could it be that Brother Zhang, who has many wives and concubines, is also accompanying me? I heard that Brother Zhang just found a young concubine a few years ago."

The capable man blushed a little, and hurriedly said: "Master Situ has wronged me, Zhang is just a mortal, and these emotions and desires cannot be broken. It is nothing compared to Master Situ who has obtained the true biography of the immortal, cut off the mortal fate, and jumped out of the world of mortals." ah."

After hearing this, Situ Liang said with a strange expression, "Brother Zhang, do you think I'm a monk? I'm planning to find someone to carry on my family."

When they heard this, they both said, "Very good, we are all waiting for that day."

The three of them stood and chatted, but Elder Chu over there got impatient and coughed softly. Situ Liang heard this, and hurried over to salute. Elder Chu frowned, nodded, and signaled Situ Liang to sit down.

Only then did Situ Liang walk to the chair opposite Elder Chu and sat down. Before he could sit still, Elder Chu couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Liang, do you have any news about Ping'er?"

This Elder Chu is an old man in the clan. Basically, he watched Situ Ping and Situ Liang grow up. He is also the clan master in the hall on weekdays. The hall master called them, but now he suddenly called them by their nicknames. I was very worried about Situ Ping.

Situ Liang felt hot in his heart, and quickly said: "Elder Chu, my cousin is fine, she just can't return to help for the time being."

Hall Master Xing also asked: "What's going on here? The leader has always acted steadily. Something must have happened this time. I asked Old Zhao just now. He didn't say anything. If he wants to wait for you, you should hurry up and talk about it." , don't be a fool."

Situ Liangliang nodded, took out the letter from his arms, stood up and handed it to Elder Chu.

Elder Chu took out the letter paper inside and read it carefully, but his brows became more and more wrinkled. Afterwards, the two hall masters Xing and Zhang also read the letter carefully.

After everyone finished reading the letter, the hall fell into a dead silence.

Elder Chu spoke first, and asked, "Xiao Liang, is this letter true?"

Situ Liangliang nodded, and said: "This is indeed my cousin's handwriting, and the time is also consistent, there should be no fake."

Hallmaster Zhang interjected: "But this is strange. Why did Wan Jianfeng accept the leader as a disciple? The leader has already passed the best time to practice martial arts. How can he be able to stand out when he is cast under Wan Jianfeng's sect now? ?”

Hall Master Xing also said: "The most suspicious thing is that the gang leader actually asked Wan Jianfeng's disciple to temporarily manage the affairs of the gang while she was away? What does this mean?"

Situ Liang also said: "If the leader joins Wan Jianfeng's sect, we will naturally be the offshoot of Wanjianfeng. For our evil tiger gang, this is a blessing from heaven. We can't ask for it on weekdays. However, the leader can't immediately Come back, is it possible that you want to practice advanced martial arts?"

Elder Chu frowned and said, "To Wan Jianfeng, our little power is like a piece of flesh on a fly. How could they have taken a fancy to it? Let a few disciples take over? It must be too important."

Hall Master Zhao was silent for a long time,

He also said: "There are too many doubts about this matter, and the leader must come back and explain it carefully. Just find a few people, and let us give others the country we have worked so hard to build with a letter." , isn't it a child's play?"

Situ Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Then what should we do? Can we do it if we don't bear it?" The word "forbearance" seems to be very clear.

The rest of the people are silent, yes, what else can they do? In the face of absolute force, any conspiracy, any resistance is futile.

But……

Seeing that everyone was silent, Elder Chu asked, "Where are the disciples of Wan Jianfeng?"

Situ Liang said: "I have arranged to rest, and I should have finished dinner by now."

Elder Chu said: "Then let them come over to meet everyone and talk about it in detail."

Situ Liangliang nodded, and asked people to invite Qu Xiangfeng and the others.

Not long after, the seven people from Wan Jianfeng came to the hall together.

Everyone from the Evil Tiger Gang stepped forward to greet each other, and after greeting each other, they took their seats.

Elder Chu said gently: "Young man Qu, here we are in remote mountains and remote areas, and there is a shortage of things. I wonder how many of you can get used to it?"

Qu Xiangfeng hurriedly said: "Elder Chu, you're being polite. My generation travels in the rivers and lakes, and it's a common thing to eat and sleep in the open. I don't feel uncomfortable in your gang."

Elder Chu twirled his beard and said, "That's very good."

Then he asked: "Can Shaoxia Qu tell you in detail about the situation of our gang leader Situ?"

Qu Xiangfeng said with a smile: "Senior Sister Situ is very lucky. By chance, I, Elder Yunfeng of Wanjian Peak, took a fancy to me and accepted him as a disciple. Now I am practicing in retreat at Wanjian Peak. Elder Yun is a well-known master of my school. Presumably, Senior Sister Situ Martial arts will definitely make great strides forward, and step into the ranks of Jianghu masters. Qumou is not too clear about the details, and I have to wait for Senior Sister Situ to come back to help me, so I can ask in detail."

The words in one speech were impeccable, and everyone did not ask for the slightest clue.

Qu Xiangfeng saw that everyone didn't speak any more, so he smiled and said, "Qu Mou is here this time as ordered by his teacher to temporarily take over the affairs of your gang, but I don't know what's going on with your discussions?"

Although he said this to everyone, Qu Xiangfeng's eyes were on Elder Chu who was sitting at the head.

Elder Chu saw Qu Xiangfeng's gaze and was about to speak when someone spoke first.

"Qu Shaoxia asked us to listen to your command with just a letter, how can we convince us?"

Qu Xiangfeng turned his head to look, but it was Hall Master Xing.

Qu Xiangfeng asked: "Then Hall Master Xing said how to do it?"

Hall Master Xing said: "No matter what, you have to pass Xing's level first, and let Xing experience Wan Jianfeng's swordsmanship."

Elder Chu hurriedly stopped and said, "Master Xing, don't be so rude."

Qu Xiangfeng said: "It's okay, it's really inappropriate to ask your gang to listen to our orders so simply, so I will discuss with Hall Master Xing and make some gestures so that Hall Master Xing will be convinced."

Situ Liang hurriedly said: "Young Master Qu, Hall Master Xing, we are all on our own, so we won't go to the martial arts arena. Let's discuss each other in this hall, so we don't hurt our friendship, okay?"

Both nodded in agreement.

Hall Master Xing shouted to the outside: "Take my weapon here."

Not long after, someone sent an eight-foot-long iron spear from outside, which was the famous weapon of Hall Master Xing.

Hall Master Xing took it with one hand, shook it forcefully, the tip of the gun drew a few arcs, and the long barrel made a "woo-woo" sound, and everyone in the Evil Tiger Gang couldn't help thinking: "This Hall Master Xing's figure Even though he's getting richer, he hasn't let go of his martial arts, he's improved after a few days."

On the other hand, the people in Wan Jianfeng didn't seem to pay attention, they were all expressionless.

Qu Xiangfeng pulled out the big sword he was carrying from behind, also holding it with one hand, and walked to the middle of the hall.

Hall Master Xing looked at Qu Xiangfeng, and began to mutter in his heart. There are as many swordsmen in this Jianghu, but it is rare to use such a wide sword, and it seems that the weight of this sword is not light. Carrying it, it seems that the arm is not small.

Just as he was thinking, Qu Xiangfeng said: "Master Xing, please."

Hall Master Xing was also polite, and said: "Okay, Shaoxia Qu, look at the gun."

After finishing speaking, he held the gun in both hands, jumped forward, and the tip of the gun pierced Qu Xiangfeng's heart, Qu Xiangfeng was not in a hurry, and when the tip of the gun was close to him, he made a wrong step with his feet and turned his waist , still holding the sword with one hand, aiming at the tip of the gun, and flicking upwards, hall master Xing felt a huge force coming from the shooting place, and his figure couldn't help but tilted to the side. Just as he was about to change his breath and renew his strength, he saw Qu Xiangfeng leaping into the air with his sword upwards, reaching a very high point, grasping the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashing towards Hall Master Xing with all his strength. , Hall Master Xing was startled, usually he only knew how to stab and chop with a sword, but he didn't expect someone to use it as a knife and chop it off. He felt as if he grabbed the head and tail of the gun with both hands, raised fire to Tian Shi, and greeted him.

In a blink of an eye, the sword and the gun collided, and there was a loud bang, and the big sword bent towards the wind bounced off the barrel of the iron gun, while Hall Master Xing stepped back three steps vigorously. Standing still with a stake, he saw Qu Xiangfeng brandishing the big sword again, slashing towards him with the momentum of the sword, Hall Master Xing was bitter for a while, and it was too late to change his moves, so he could only raise fire to meet the sky again, and again There was a sound of "bang", and the big sword bounced, but Qu Xiangfeng didn't continue to move this time, but stood there leisurely, with the tip of the sword facing the ground, looking ahead. Hall Master Xing on the opposite side stepped back four steps. This time, he couldn't stand on the stake, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground, and the iron gun in his hand could no longer be held, so he threw it aside, waiting for Hall Xing The Lord stood up, only to find that the tiger's jaws of his hands had been shattered, and he couldn't help but feel scared for a while: "I don't know how much strength is hidden in this thin body. It's really supernatural power. It's good to learn from each other, otherwise I'll cut another sword!" , my life is not guaranteed."

Seeing Hallmaster Xing's earthy expression, Qu Xiangfeng cupped his fists and said, "Admit it."

Hall Master Xing replied: "Admiration, admiration."
