The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 151 The death of the hero
Just when Guan Yuan was out of seclusion to adjust, Feng Yingmei came to the door with someone.

"Why does this person always like to send me tasks, NPC?!" Guan Yuan couldn't help complaining. It turned out that Shen Lian from Jin Yiwei found Guan Yuan again and wanted to ask him to take action.

"What's going on this time? It's not another job of going up the sword and going down the sea of ​​fire." Guan Yuan got angry when he saw the thick-skinned Shen Lian sitting in the living room with a calm expression.

The last time Da Mo and his party broke the Qiu Shui Sword, lost the golden finger, and were chased and beaten for more than half a month, Guan Yuan thought to himself that he was in a bad situation and never wanted to get involved in Jin Yiwei's affairs again.

Shen Lian had not been seen for two years. He had grown a short beard and a scar on his cheek, and he was gradually becoming more majestic.Ever since he was appreciated by Zhu Houzhao, he has been hanging out in the core department of Jinyiwei in the capital. Now he is the deputy Qianhu of the fifth rank.

The two had experienced life and death before and had long since become close friends. However, they had different temperaments and personalities, and their way of getting along seemed strange to others.

"Don't say I didn't think about you. Last time you asked me to help you search for some natural treasures. Isn't that the news?" Shen Lian lowered his head and sipped his tea before throwing out the bait.

Guan Yuankou felt that he was too straight, and his innate skills were slowly progressing. He really wanted to see if the treasures of heaven and earth had any effect on him, "What should I say?"

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth turned up slightly while he was immersed in drinking tea. This Guan Yuan was somewhat resistant to government matters and had nothing to offer, so I'm afraid he really couldn't be invited.

He put down the tea bowl and spoke softly.

It turned out that there was an unknown force on the rivers and lakes that tried to assassinate the emperor several times.

That group of thieves was not low in martial arts, after their whereabouts were exposed, the leader and the Wudang Shaolin masters who were guarding the emperor competed several times, but they were all stopped.

In the latest assassination, the gang of thieves had already been chased out of the Forbidden City. A man in black appeared out of nowhere, with superb internal strength and sharp swordsmanship, and even injured two eminent monks of the Fang generation in Shaolin.

Others did not expect that this man was so sharp that even Shaolin masters could not stop him. He broke into the emperor's palace without paying attention.

Fortunately, the emperor has been lingering in the Leopard Room of the capital in recent days, not in the palace.The man's search was fruitless, and he met the royal masters who came over. They competed with each other and were repelled by them.

For a time, this matter provoked numerous big bosses, who all reported the matter and forced Zhu Hou to move back to the Forbidden City and strictly protect him.At the same time, the guard force was strengthened, and in particular, many recruitment orders were issued and sent directly to Shaolin Wudang, requesting that more masters be sent to defend the capital.

"Shaolin Wudang masters are all gone, why are you calling me?"

"It may be that the wind is getting tighter now. Those gangsters have restrained a lot, and they are not showing their signs. The recent threat is much smaller." Shen Lian explained, "Now the emperor is protected by a group of people, but according to The character of a sage, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it for long in the big house, and he will have to make a fuss."

"Jin Yiwei has a heavy responsibility to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. I was assigned to investigate the clues. Didn't I think of you?"

"If this matter is done beautifully and the royal family rewards you, there will be no shortage of heavenly materials and earthly treasures? Isn't that snow lotus you last time given to you by the saint?"

Guan Yuan paced back and forth. In fact, he had some guesses in his mind. According to history, King Ning of Jiangxi would rebel in the near future, and he was the one with the most motivation and strength.But I don’t know where he found the men who could defeat the Shaolin monks. Such a master should not be an unknown person in the world.

Historically, it seems that Zhu Houzhao did not die in the capital, but on his way south to the south of the Yangtze River.Guan Yuan's action does not seem to change the plot, but his action to assist Jin Yiwei is in line with the general trend.In the end, the idea of ​​borrowing heavenly materials and earthly treasures to further study his own changes prevailed, and Guan Yuan decided to agree to Shen Lian and go to the capital together.Feng Yuxiu on the side wanted to see the world with his second senior brother, so he also asked to go with him.

The three of them didn't waste any time. One person and two horses hurriedly traveled thousands of miles. On the fifth day, they rushed from Luoyang to the Fengtai military camp in the southern suburbs of Beijing.

At the same time, Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain also received messages from flying pigeons, explaining the changes in Beijing.

Both families have deep connections with official forces. If such a big thing happens, if they don't accept the recruitment order, I'm afraid they will be scolded in the future.Apart from anything else, if there is a tax on so many fields and industries around Shaolin, this group of great monks will not be able to accept it.

Furthermore, if, like the previous Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Buddhist sect was asked to liquidate its property and strictly investigate the monks, it would cost the life of the Shaolin Temple.

The Wudang Sect's butt is relatively clean, but since many of their outstanding disciples have joined violent departments such as the Jin Yiwei, the pressure is not small at this time.

The officials were quite polite to them before, and the Jin Yiwei came forward to invite the disciples of the two families to escort them. Now that the situation was urgent, they no longer cared about saving face for them. They directly recruited them, which was also a warning to the underground world of Jianghu.

"Don't play tricks. Your Taishan Beidou can't fight against the official forces. It's better to accept your little tricks."

Shaolin sent Master Fang Sheng with more than a dozen masters from the Bodhidharma Academy; as for the Wudang Sect, due to the long distance, they probably wouldn’t be able to make it in time. To show their importance, Taoist Master Chongxu led two Taoist boys. Pack lightly and rush to the capital in person.

This matter is not easy to publicize. There is no news in the world. Except for Shaolin Wudang and Huashan Sect, no one else even knows about it.

Just when Guan Yuan and others were heading to the capital, another incident in the arena attracted everyone's attention.

Just after the heroes dispersed at the Songshan Guansheng Peak, Zuo Lengchan, who was injured and paralyzed, was found dead on his bed.

When Zuo Lengchan's disciples found him, Zuo Lengchan's face was purple and black blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. He was obviously poisoned and died.After everyone searched, a lot of martial arts secrets were lost in the house.Previously, Zuo Lengchan, as the leader, took a lot of Songshan's secret knowledge and studied and refined it in his room.Among the lost secret books is his self-created Ice True Qi, which contains not only the cultivation method, but also a lot of experience.

The death of the former leader of the Five Sacred Mountains caused a lot of discussion in the Central Plains martial arts, and for a while, everyone was eating melons.

Some people say that the Huashan sect exterminated them all just to eliminate future troubles;
There are also people who stand on the side of the Huashan Sect, saying that a group of disciples of different generations of the Huashan Sect showed up in Luoyang today, and there is evidence of alibi;

Others say that there was trouble within the Songshan sect and they killed their masters to seize power;
The various opinions immediately disturbed everyone's attention. It was pitiful that the heroic Zuo Lengchan, who had been in the world for half his life, died on the bed like this.

Fortunately, the Huashan Sect is not afraid of the shadow. Yue Buqun made several speeches in public, talking about the brotherhood between himself and Zuo Lengchan for many years, crisis public relations, and there were external forces who followed suit to defend the Huashan Sect. Got the relationship.

Now the Songshan sect only has two Taibao, Tang Ying'e and Deng Bagong, who are struggling to support and have no desire to fight. They have sent a letter of greeting to Yue Buqun and bowed their heads.

At this point, all the Five Sacred Sword Sects are respected by the Huashan Sect, and Yue Buqun's life-long wish has been more than half fulfilled.
