The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 356 The Mysterious Master

For the Jianghu people, the Jianghu has its own rules.

Once the imperial court intervenes, it will be more or less like a dog meddling with a mouse.

Cats and mice are for the people, dogs are officials, and most of the time there is no confrontation between the people and the officials.

Therefore, as soon as they heard the word "General Banner", almost everyone tensed up, their eyes widened, regardless of whether they had intersecting interests with Tingyuge, and they wondered what Tingyuge wanted to do in collusion with the people in the court.

After all, although the position of the general banner is not high, there are half a hundred people under him.

Based on the various accumulations of the imperial court in the Jianghu over the past few years, it is a terrible force to keep it incomplete, and it has to be guarded against.

For a moment, the man in gray sitting on Luo Piaoling's right hand became the target of public criticism.

"This is even more interesting." At this time, Xue Qinghuan didn't need to choose where to ask the question, everyone's attitude had pointed the way, so he threw the question back to Yu Le, "Since Mr. Yu said so, I must know something about this General Banner Lord, why not introduce it to everyone?"

With Yu Le's temperament, how could he listen to Xueqing's cheers, but as long as he can embarrass Luo Piaoling, he doesn't care too much.

He smiled and said: "This person is Mr. Luo's friend after all, it is most appropriate to ask Mr. Luo to introduce him."

Luo Piaoling calmed down, smiled lightly, and was about to speak, but the man in gray beside him said first: "Don't embarrass your son. My name is Raven, but I am just a nobody. As for the status of the general banner, it is an old thing, not worth it." Mention."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the incident of being an official was not the only one, and they would not be rejected by people in the Jianghu.

Everyone thought that since the raven had stepped forward, Yu Le would directly turn the finger on him, using it as a breakthrough point to gradually reveal the truth about Xunfenggu.

Who knew that he turned to Xue Qinghuan, and changed the topic again, saying: "I don't know what Pavilion Master Xue thinks?"

Xue Qinghuan was confused by Yu Le's unreasonable question, scratched her head and said, "What does Mr. Yu mean by that?"

Yu Ledao: "With the eyesight of Pavilion Master Xue, what is the identity of this raven?"

Xue Qinghuan said: "Oh, if it comes to distinguishing sounds and colors, Xue can say that the score is not bad, but if you want to talk about eyesight, you definitely dare not compare with Mr. Yu. However, with Brother Raven's appearance His demeanor, I don’t think what he said seems to be false.”

Yu Ledao: "Governor Xue Pavilion is really too modest, you have already seen it very closely."

Xue Qinghuan rolled her eyes, and guessed: "Could it be that Brother Raven's status as the general banner in the past is very important in this matter?"

Yu Le showed a sly smile again and said, "Why don't I point out the key clues for Pavilion Master Xue, and ask Pavilion Master Xue to analyze and analyze for everyone?"

Xue Qinghuan didn't refuse, and said with a light smile, "Please tell me."

Yu Ledao: "What kind of situation does Xue Pavilion Master think will force a general banner to give up the official food of the court, and be reduced to compete with us and others for a living?"

Xue Qinghuan shook her head and smiled: "Young Master Yu's question is really difficult to answer. From a personal point of view, it is natural that everyone has their own ambitions, and they found that it is not easy to work for the court, so they left in a huff. From a collective point of view, Presumably his immediate boss committed a crime and was implicated."

The reason why Xue Qinghuan didn't say that Zongqi committed a crime and was resigned was not because she was worried about offending Raven, but because of the harsh methods of the imperial court in recent years.

Neither can it be used by it, nor does it want to see it become an enemy one day, letting it go to the rivers and lakes is no different from letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and it must be eliminated to avoid future troubles.

Raven's survival to this day shows that he is not a direct target of the court's fear.

Yu Ledao: "The Snow Pavilion Master feels again, given the embarrassing situation of Mr. Luo, who is willing to work for him, and even risk his life?"

Although Xue Qinghuan didn't grow a beard, at this moment she made a gesture of stroking a tiger's beard, and said slowly: "It's better to look at it the other way around, Xue Mou didn't like to get involved in such Jianghu affairs at all, but He Luo The young master's recent reputation is too loud, and he has to listen to it if he doesn't want to hear it. It has been nearly a year since the Shaolin golden seal was stolen. Hundreds of gangs have negotiated for so long..."

Xue Qinghuan paused, then raised her hand towards Luo Piaoling, as if she was showing a treasure to everyone.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "Still unscathed. Presumably with Mr. Luo's charm, not only Tingyu Pavilion or Daoyi League and some Kyushu gangs, there are still many people who are willing to lend a helping hand to Mr. Luo to help him." Overcome the difficulties. However, if you want to help with your family and life, then Xue felt that these people should first have no worries."

Xue Qinghuan sighed again: "After all, some things are really not easy to let go."

"Charm?" Yu Le snorted softly, and the disdain in his tone was quickly overshadowed by his next sentence, "The one who has no worries is preferably an orphan, and the kind who is born without a personal future, without Orphans who have considered marrying and having children."

Yu Le emphasized the word "also", no doubt alluding to Luo Piaoling.

The ones that pop out from the cracks in the rocks will be monkeys, not humans, but in this troubled world, there are many people who are born without father and mother, but it is obvious that Yu Le is not one of them.

His words naturally offended everyone, and his gazes were like throwing knives, making one's scalp numb.

If it weren't for the Liuhe Building, Yu Le would have been quartered by five horses at this time.

Xue Qinghuan is not young, and now that his parents both died of illness, he is no different from an orphan, but he knew that what Yu Le said meant to ridicule Luo Piaoling, so he didn't feel at ease, and asked: "According to Mr. Yu's Mind you, this brother Raven is not an ordinary general banner, he also shoulders some kind of heavy responsibility, or performs life-and-death missions all year round."

Yu Le didn't care about the gazes around him, and continued: "It's really easy to talk to smart people. Raven, the general banner, not only has different responsibilities from ordinary general banners, but also its staffing is very different from ordinary general banners. .”

Xue Qinghuan said: "I would like to hear the details."

Yu Le followed Xue Qinghuan's example and shook his head and smiled, as if saying that he would never say so easily.

This action made everyone in the hall angry and annoyed at him for a while, and there was a commotion in the hall.

Originally, Xue Qinghuan was enough for them, but now Luo Piaoling's opponent came, and they thought they could speak clearly in a few words, but the two unexpectedly started singing.

Yu Ledao: "Major Xue Pavilion, how many people do you usually have under the general banner?"

Xue Qinghuan said: "There are five small banners under the general banner, with a total of 50 people."

Yu Ledao: "Brother Raven doesn't have Xiaoqi under him. As for his subordinates, they are all present tonight."

"Oh?"

Following Xue Qinghuan's suspicious voice, everyone swept their eyes around the other five tables where Luo Piaoling and his party were.

"When I came today, there seemed to be eighteen of them all wearing black close-fitting clothes."

"The one named Raven happened to be among those 18."

"Presumably what Mr. Yu is saying is that these 18 people were originally court eagles, but now they are willing to follow Luo Piaoling through life and death."

"..."

Compared with the discussion of everyone in the hall.

Luo Piaoling and his group counted the tables, but the atmosphere seemed extremely dull, and none of the parties said a word.

Xue Qinghuan and Yu Le, who had been talking non-stop just now, also stopped talking at this moment.

Yu Le still stood aside, watching Luo Piaoling quietly.

Although he couldn't see any changes on Luo Piaoling's face, he seemed to enjoy the current atmosphere very much.

As for Xue Qinghuan, he was already deep in thought.

In the past, Raven was the general banner of a certain mysterious army in the imperial court.

There are 18 members of this mysterious team, all of whom are orphans.

What they do is secret and dangerous, and they cannot make a family.

They were forced to stay away from the court and hide in the rivers and lakes, few people knew about it.

Now, they are willing to be used by Luo Piaoling...

Xue Qinghuan understood that Yu Le wanted him to use these clues to reveal the true identities of the 18 people including Raven.

And their true identities are closely related to this incident of Xunfeng.

So, he combined the fragmentary clues in his mind to see if there was any connection between them, or if there was any necessary connection missing.

After a while, he seemed to see the two words connecting Luo Piaoling and these 18 people in his mind.

These two words are so obvious, he should have thought of...
