River Styx heard this and was slightly stunned. He smiled and said, "The Guan Ning Iron Cavalry is indeed extraordinary. May I know who your esteemed general is? "
The young general cupped his fists and said, "It is Sir Wu Xiang, the Regimental Commander. He received my report and ordered me to invite you. He is waiting at the Regimental Commander's Residence. I hope that you will not decline."
River Styx's Primordial Spirit was stealthily manipulating the heavenly secrets, leaving only one thought to respond. All the Sky Demon senses and heavenly secrets calculations were understood by the Primordial Spirit. This thought was only for communication and did not have many supernatural powers. That was why he still looked at the young general. He saw that he was in his early twenties and had a heroic bearing. He suddenly smiled and said, "I have only been here for a short while and you have already reported to General Wu. It shows that you are trusted. May I know your name? "
The young general was neither arrogant nor impatient. He still cupped his fists and said, "I am Wu Sangui. My courtesy name is Chang Bo. General Wu is my father."
It was already the fourth year of Chongzhen and it was the eve of the battle of Da Ling River. Zu Dashou was probably already guarding against the Jiannu at Da Ling River. No wonder the Jinzhou Army was heavily guarded. A large amount of rations and fodder had been mobilized. Wu Xiang should have received orders to be ready to help Zu Dashou at any time. In history, in this battle of besieging the enemy and attacking the reinforcements, the Ming army suffered many defeats. When Wu Xiang led forty thousand horse infantry to help Da Ling River to help Zu Dashou, he deserted at the last minute and was punished with demotion.
Now the father and son must have felt the pressure. No wonder they used their position as the Regimental Commander to rope in cultivators.
Under normal circumstances, they would avoid it. Using the position of an official to make friends with people outside of the secular world would easily cause people to think of Fengshui and Qi of Fortune. This would then lead to rumors of the Dragon Vein and the Qi of the Emperor. This would be taboo for the civil officials in the court and even the Emperor. Only when the arrow was nocked on the bowstring would they make such a bad decision.
River Styx did not have a hobby of collecting historical figures. With his current level of cultivation, killing the Emperor of Beijing was just a taboo. Even if Wu Sangui was in front of him, it was just a little strange. He did not think much of him at all.
After thinking about it, River Styx smiled and said, "In that case, please lead the way, young general." Wu Sangui had seen a few cultivators along with his father. All of them were heartless and did not care about human etiquette. Initially, he had prepared a lot of words, but he did not expect River Styx to be so understanding. He was slightly disappointed.
In his opinion, the greater the ability, the greater the temper. This black-clothed youth didn't have a temper, so he probably didn't have much ability.
The father and son did not want to make friends with any immortals, nor did they covet the Golden Pill to live forever. This time, they invited someone because they had a request. If they invited someone without any ability, it would be in vain. Fortunately, he was experienced. No matter what he thought, he did not show it on his face. He continued to lead the way respectfully.
After walking for a short distance, they arrived at Wu Zhuan's military headquarters. When they entered the main hall, there were already a few Jianghu heroes inside. Two heretical men were waiting. River Styx saw his three disciples at first glance. Li Ning sat in a corner and calmly observed the many strange people in the main hall. When he saw River Styx walk over, his gaze froze and he felt a faint sense of fear.
He committed River Styx's appearance to memory, but his two sworn brothers beside him did not notice.
River Styx's gaze swept over them and he could tell that the two heretical men were only third-rate heretical men. The sharpest thing they had was the fine iron flying sword in their pouch. At most, they had the ability to control a sword for a hundred steps. Even Li Ning did not think much of them. With the three brothers' unparalleled martial arts skills, they were not afraid of these heretical skills.
The other martial arts masters were arrogant and disdainful. Other than being very respectful to the people of the military headquarters, they fought to curry favor with the two heretical men. The atmosphere was not friendly and they looked down on each other. Li Ning and the other two were even pushed to a corner. Only the two heretical men were crowned at the top.
Although Wu Sangui was not an ordinary person, he was still a bit young. He had some prejudice earlier, so he arranged for River Styx to sit at a place that was neither too far nor too close. Although he was still respectful, he was not as respectful as the two Taoist men before him.
Everyone here was old and experienced. They had seen through Wu Sangui's little tricks and had looked down on River Styx. Even though there were people who wanted to curry favor with him, one of the silver-robed Taoist priests saw that River Styx had just sat down casually and did not come forward to greet him. He snorted coldly, "Hmph!"
He maintained his status and did not want to argue with River Styx. However, he also dispelled the other people's desire to befriend him. Only Li Ning, who was sitting next to River Styx, nodded slightly in greeting.
After a while, Wu Zhuan still had not arrived. Only Wu Sangui came to apologize on behalf of his father. He said, "My father has received an urgent order from the imperial court and has to be delayed for a while. I have specially ordered him to come down and apologize. Please do not take offense and wait for a while." He then went to the back hall and asked for the best tea to be served to the guests.
Seeing this, someone thought to himself, "Could it be that Master Wu has invited so many people, but he does not know who is truly capable and is hinting to us to show off? There are so many people here, how can I have the chance to show off? Why don't … "He made up his mind and looked around for people to show off. He saw that the others were not to be trifled with. Only River Styx, Li Ning and the others were sitting in a corner.
He glanced at River Styx and immediately turned his gaze away. He felt that it was best not to provoke those mutants. He then looked at Li Ning and the other two. Li Ning and the other two were known as the Three Heroes of Qilu and Lu, and were quite famous in Jianghu.
But here, he was the only one who knew them well. That person was confident that his martial arts were far superior to Li Ning and the others. If the others were not experts of the same generation as him, then they were unknown and unfathomable. Such people were the most likely to cause trouble. It was better for someone like Li Ning, who had some reputation and knew his background, to show off his power.
He immediately slammed the table and laughed coldly, "I heard that some of the younger generation, with only a little bit of skill, were called the Three Heroes. How can such people, who deceive the world, be worthy of sitting with me?"
Hearing this, Li Ning, who was the oldest, was able to keep his composure. The youngest, Zhou Chun, could not hold it in any longer. He laughed and said, "May I know who is speaking? Have we brothers offended you in any way? "
When the old man heard his brother mocking him for being unknown, he immediately took the opportunity to explode. He gathered his strength and lightly flicked the teacup in front of him. Two scalding water droplets fell into his palm. He threw them out skillfully, and like steel pillars, they stirred up a sharp wind. At the same time, he shouted, "Who are you to interrupt when I am speaking?"
Even Li Ning could not hold back his actions. Zhou Chun used the mantra of Tian Luo's Cunning Way. With a twist of his hand, he caught the two water droplets in his hand. The strange Qi of Tian Luo's Cunning Way circulated in his hand, and two spiraling Yin and Yang Qi were injected into the water droplets. The water droplets immediately condensed into needles, and he threw them out. Yin and Yang intersected silently, but their speed was three times faster than when they came.
