Shen Shiyun laughed and said, "That's not that serious. Very well, let me congratulate you in advance on your success. "An Yesun said," Nonsense. "He turned around and left the hall. Li Yijie saw Shen Shiyun was bullied and felt humiliated as well. He wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but when he saw her disdainful look, he did not want to invite a snub.
The atmosphere in the Qing Tian Village's main hall was solemn. It was the time of the monthly summary of their military achievements. Lu Qian was sitting on a treasured chair with his head propped up on his palm. He was listening to his subordinates' reports with his eyes closed, including how many soldiers they lost in which battle, how many captives they captured in which battle, as well as the village's financial income and expenditure. Until now, the most satisfying report was the recent fierce battle with Li Yijie and the Qing court. Cheng Jiahua was sitting on his right, from time to time he would give a few comments.
After several stewards had flipped through the reports, Lu Qian snorted and said, "That's all?" Several of them looked at each other and then replied in fear and trepidation, "Reporting to Da Zhaizhu, that's all." Only then did Lu Qian open his eyes and said, "After waiting for so long, I still haven't heard the news I wanted the most. I sent you to look for the Seven Demons Treasure. How did it go? "
A subordinate dressed in purple said, "Da Zhaizhu, we did our best to look for it … but we didn't find anything. But Da Zhaizhu shouldn't be anxious. The Seven Demons Treasure is a treasure left behind from the Distant Past, naturally it would be hidden in an extremely secretive place. How could it be so easy for someone to pick it up? If we can't find it, other people can't find it either. "
Lu Qian snorted and said, "You didn't do your job well and you didn't do your job well. Where did all these excuses come from? If you admit your mistake, I won't blame you. Why do you have to find other excuses? Jiahua? "Cheng Jiahua replied," Subordinate is here. " Lu Qian said, "Do you still remember that year the two of us came up with an excellent plan to use that Devil Cult witch as a hostage to negotiate terms with her father? This matter has been planned thoroughly, but unexpectedly something went wrong at the last minute. The old Taoist of Kongtong saw the money and wanted to get rid of us and do it alone. He took away Chu Menglin, hoping to force the Old Devil to submit and cooperate with him to seize power. He didn't even think about what kind of person the Old Devil was. How could he be willing to be dominated by him? I heard that after a fierce battle, the old crooked Taoist was buried in a barren mountain. "
Cheng Jiahua said, "In the past, he was the mastermind who framed Shifu, so he deserved this retribution. This subordinate congratulates Master on getting your revenge! " Lu Qian laughed and said, "I don't have any great enmity with him. He pushed me to become the leader of the mountain stronghold, and I haven't thanked him yet. It's just that when we were at the foot of the mountain, you made a prompt decision to take me as your master; it was indeed extremely wise! Otherwise, if you still followed him, I am afraid you would have died with him. "Cheng Jiahua said," I also want to thank Shifu for his kindness and kindness, for taking me in. "
Lu Qian laughed and said, "The Old Devil didn't stay arrogant for long, very soon he suffered the consequences of his own evil deeds. He was killed in the secret room of the headquarters. The one who usurped his throne was his most trusted disciple, the Devil Cult's Young Master Jiang Liechen. But this man's conduct was also very strange; for the sake of rebellion, he disfigured half of his face, and did not cherish this hard-won position at all. These past few years he has been training the Qi Sha Jue painstakingly behind closed doors, ignoring the Cult's affairs. His disciples have been resentful toward him, but due to his tyrannical power, they did not dare to vent their anger. After the Devil Cult fell into his hands, it continuously went downhill. For the past few years, the Imperial Court has invaded and annexed all the Devil Cult's branches, but Jiang Liechen still sat and did nothing. I am afraid that by the time he succeeds, the Devil Cult will already be a general without an army. "
Cheng Jiahua said, "Jiang Liechen lost a lot for a small gain, but we can't learn from him. These past few years, the mountain strongholds and bandit gangs that refused to surrender have been almost wiped out. This is a great opportunity; if we can seize this opportunity to take down the Devil Cult, later on no other sect will dare to openly challenge us. Not only will we establish the Qing Tian Village's prestige, we will thoroughly establish our position as the king of the Wulin world. At the same time, we will finally have a chance to avenge our entire family's blood feud. "
Lu Qian said, "To achieve great things, one must broaden one's horizons, one must not only focus on one's personal enmity. What did Shifu teach you in the past? "Cheng Jiahua smiled and said," Subordinate's experience is shallow, I have made Shifu laugh. "
Lu Qian laughed and said, "Of course I also hope to take down the Devil Cult as soon as possible. But you must remember one thing: a centipede dies but never falls down. The Devil Cult is not as good as it used to be, but it still has some foundation to rely on. I heard that the Devil Cult has a lot of mechanisms and has the geographical advantage, but it won't be easy to attack it. Jiang Liechen is definitely not an idiot who only knows martial arts. Right now I can't figure out what he is planning, but I have dealt with him before and know that he has some ability. The more he bides his time, the more likely he is to set up an even more sinister scheme. That is why we need to be even more cautious. "
Cheng Jiahua replied, "Yes, Da Zhai Zhu." He muttered in a low voice, "Jiang Liechen was able to kill Master Chuanye, that only shows that he is ruthless enough, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he is powerful. He learned these moves from the Hierarch of the Devil Cult, and he learned a few more when he was roaming the Jianghu. His Shifu still hasn't made any progress, so naturally he is no match for him. This is just taking the strong points of a hundred sects and attacking the weak points of one sect, there is nothing great about it. "
Lu Qian stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. He said, "Is there any news from Jianye Escort Agency? Chief Escort Cui has already promised me that he will give me the Seven Demons Absolute Sound Zither as a gift to show his filial piety. It has been so long, why haven't I heard from him yet? "After he defeated Li Yijie, he was in high spirits and had already changed his way of addressing himself as" I ". One of the underlings stepped out, trembling with fear. He said, "Reporting to Da Zhai Zhu, we have urged them many times and pressured them repeatedly. They … they only asked for a little more time, but they did not give a clear answer."
Lu Qian snorted coldly. "What does he want? Is he prepared to drag this out? My Qingtian Village is not a freeloader. You go and inform Old Man Cui that I will give him another month. If he still doesn't see the Absolute Sound Zither by then, don't blame me for starting a massacre! After the massacre, if there is still a brick or a tile left in his escort agency, then I, Lu Qian, will have wasted my time! If I don't teach him a lesson, he won't understand the power of my Qingtian Village! "
One of the underlings trembled all over and carefully moved out of the formation. He said, "Da … Reporting to Da Zhai Zhu, in my opinion, there is no need to give him another month. Jianye Escort Agency … we don't have to make a special trip to destroy them …" Lu Qian heard that someone dared to disobey his orders and said coldly, "Then why? Are we just going to let him look down on us? "
The underling said, "No … No … Reporting to Da Zhai Zhu, it is because I have received reliable news that Jianye Escort Agency has been completely wiped out somewhere in the northeast. Chief Escort Cui and a few other chief escorts have also lost their lives. Their deaths were gruesome. The remaining few old and weak soldiers have all sought refuge with other escort agencies."
Lu Qian made a sound of surprise. He asked curiously, "Who did it? Who has the ability to challenge Jianye Escort Agency? I know that they are the largest escort agency in Jianghu. Both the black and white sides give them face. Even other escort agencies don't have the guts to snatch business from them. "
The underling said, "Their bodies were found in a deserted village. There were no wounds on their bodies. After they were undressed and examined, they saw faint red marks on their chests. They were all killed with one blow. The other party … seemed to have only waved his sleeves and … and … had such terrifying skills. Others said that it was the Hierarch of the Demonic Sect who did it personally. It seemed that it was also to fight for the Absolute Sound Zither. "
Lu Qian muttered to himself, "The Hierarch of the Demonic Sect? Jiang Liechen has ignored worldly affairs for many years. Are the rumors wrong, or has he really mastered martial arts and is preparing to return to Jianghu? Jianye Escort Agency spent money to bribe me to protect them. Now they have been silently wiped out by our sworn enemy, the Demonic Sect of Sacrifice. It is obvious that they do not respect our Qing Tian Zhai Zhu. I cannot ignore this matter … "Cheng Jiahua said," The imperial court's Eagle Claw has suffered a great setback. They will not dare to invade again in the short term. Why don't we concentrate our forces and prepare for the Demonic Sect? "
Lu Qian said, "If you think that way, it only shows that you do not understand the Qing army. Their combat strength is nothing special, but their kung fu is top-notch. " Before Cheng Jiahua could answer, a green-clothed underling suddenly stumbled in from outside the door. He shouted, "No … no good …" Once he reached the main hall, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His entire body went limp and fell to the ground.
Lu Qian said impatiently, "How many times have I taught you not to make a fuss about nothing? No matter how strong the enemy is, I will not move. I will suppress him in terms of momentum. What is going on? Is there a fire? Or is the sky falling down? "
That underling gasped for breath and said, "No … it's not like that …" Several more underlings came forward to help him up, patting his back and comforting him. Only then did he catch his breath and said, "Reporting to Lu Da Zhaizhu, Cheng Er Zhangjia, it's not good! There is a lackey of the imperial court outside. This person is not ordinary. Not only did he break the flagpole with one hand, he tore the Commander's Flag. He also threatened … threatened … "
Lu Qian was unable to restrain his anger. He shouted, "How dare he? Who dares to be so insolent? Even if Li Yijie came with an army, he would not dare to publicly destroy our Commander's Flag! How many men and horses did the other side send? "
The underling said, "We have made a circle around the mountain pass. There is indeed only one person. He … he …" Lu Qian snorted coldly and said, "He came alone to destroy our Qing Tian Village's territory. He must be tired of living! Tell me, what else did he threaten? "The underling said," I … I don't dare to say. "Lu Qian said," I will pardon you. Speak quickly! "
The underling retreated a few steps. His body curled up into a ball. His voice was almost squeezed out from his throat as he said, "He also said … if … if … if … that coward does not get out to see him within the time limit … he will tear you apart … you … he called you 'that plague animal'. I really don't dare to say it like that … what he meant was, he will tear off one of your arms and both of your legs. He will make you roll and crawl. Pig … pig … dog … dog is worse than a dog. Crawl down the mountain with him and go to the capital to kowtow and worship him …" His voice trembled as he spoke for a long time.
Lu Qian said angrily, "Who dares to speak such nonsense? Where is he now? I am going to see him now. I want to see how he is going to tear off one of my arms. " The underling said, "He is waiting for you outside the door. Without your orders, we do not dare to act rashly. We are all standing around in a circle, on alert."
Lu Qian grunted and strode out of the hall with his head held high. He took a long spear from the corner of the wall and held it in his hand as a show of strength. As soon as he stepped out of the hall, he saw two poles lying on the ground. Both of them were broken from the middle, and the commander's flag hanging at the top was torn to pieces. It was even worse than a tattered rag. Lu Qian was furious. Even when he was a nobody in the Kunlun Sect, he had never been humiliated like this. He called out to one of the underlings and asked, "Where is he?"
The underling pointed in a direction. Lu Qian raised his hand and untied the long whip at his waist. He quickly stepped forward. He saw that person standing at the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back. His hair was gently fluttering in the wind. His figure was thin and he seemed to be very young. A group of underlings stood behind him. Each of them pointed their spears at the ground, guarding against the slightest movement. The person was surrounded, but he was still calm and composed. He stood with his back to the crowd.
He was standing at the edge of the cliff. Not to mention a sneak attack, even if it was just a strong gust of wind, it was very likely that he would lose his footing and fall off the cliff. However, he dared to be so careless. It was obvious that he completely regarded the Qingtian Stockade as nothing.
