Chapter 34: Accepted because of money

Chaotian Palace, one of the three major sects in Jiangzhou, has more than [-] disciples. The palace master is in charge of the sect, with two guardians, four hall masters, and sixteen deacons.

As a force second only to the Grand Master, it can be said to be the most powerful force in Jiangzhou.

In order to consolidate their positions over the years, the three major sects have aggressively recruited disciples, and the criteria for selecting people have become more and more relaxed year by year. Later, the three major sects often fought for recruits. If they were not concerned about the presence of the great master Wang Jue, Staring, they have already been attacking each other on a large scale.

Because of the knife on their heads, the three major factions had no choice but to let go of their hatred, and after a final discussion, they decided that the three major factions would take turns to recruit people every three years, so that it would be fair and just without conflicts.

Therefore, over the years, the three major factions have been in a state of peace. Even if there are occasional frictions in private, they will not expand in scale.

Yang Jing, the master of Chaotian Palace, was sitting in the main hall at this time. Under him were the left protector Yan Yongyuan and the right protector Meng Tianyou. The three leaders of Chaotian Palace gathered together at this time and were discussing how to lead the disciples of Chaotian Palace in the past few days. The news came back that deacon Huo Xi had been detained in Muyang County.

As for the specific reason, they didn't know. What they saw was that the uncle of the Qin family in Muyang County tied Huo Xi with an iron rope and asked them to come back and say that if they wanted to redeem someone, they could give him a thousand spiritual stones.

Yang Jing was furious when he heard the news at first. For so many years in Jiangzhou, except for the Grand Master, even if the other two sects had conflicts with each other, they had never asked them to redeem people with spiritual stones from Chaotian Palace. This little Mu Yang County, the little Qin family is simply audacious.

Yan Yongyuan looked at the angry Yang Jing and said: "Palace Master, calm down. Since the other party knows the background of Chaotian Palace and dares to threaten us with Deacon Huo, there must be support. We need to discuss this matter in the long run."

Meng Tianyou on the other side raised his eyebrows. Huo Xi was from his side. He had always been at odds with Yan Yongyuan. This old guy said that we should take a long-term approach. How could we take the long-term approach?When Huo Xi is slaughtered, who will he go to?What do the people below think of themselves?
Meng Tianyou immediately came out: "Palace Master, I have sent people to inquire about the Qin family in Muyang County. They are just a small and unpopular family. The person who captured Deacon Huo only joined the Qin family a few years ago. , is just a casual person without any background. This person is ignorant and does not know how powerful I am at Chaotian Palace, so he dares to threaten us with Deacon Huo. My subordinate suggested that we send a master directly to Muyang County to redeem Huo with spiritual stones. Deacon, wait until Deacon Huo is safe before taking action to destroy the Qin family, kill this thief and get the spirit stone back."

Yang Jing glanced at the two of them. These two old guys had never been easy to deal with. He saw them secretly fighting for power. However, they were in a balanced system and he did not criticize it. However, his heart still favored Meng Tianyou in this matter. , after all, the four hall masters and the sixteen deacons each took sides, and the two sides were balanced. If Meng Tianyou defeated Huo Xi and came up with the selectors again, he might be suppressed by Yan Yongyuan.

After thinking clearly, Yang Jing coughed a few times: "Huo Xi is my deacon of Chaotian Palace after all. If I wait and don't take action, offend those short-sighted San Ren, and defeat Deacon Huo, what will our disciples think of us in the future? What do outsiders think of us? If we can't even save a deacon, who will dare to worship in Chaotian Palace in the future? So I think Protector Meng is right, so I sent a master to redeem Deacon Huo."

"Huo Xi has just joined the First Class and is not good at martial arts. If this Sanren can capture Deacon Huo, he either has rich experience in actual combat or is a master of the First Class. Who do you think is the most suitable person to send on this trip?"

Faced with Yang Jing's question, Meng Tianyou immediately said: "Dong Tangtang has been advocating that Wan Tang become a first-class player for a long time. His own strength has been at the peak for many years. He is only a little short of a half-step master. He has been fighting with the other two sects for these years. , rich in experience, ordinary first-class peak-level masters will not be able to benefit from him, so there should be no problem in sending him."

Yang Jing nodded after hearing this: "Okay, then let Zhang Wantang go, but tell Zhang Wantang the actual situation, no one knows the origin of this scattered person, let him be careful, if he finds something wrong, he should withdraw first and then discuss."

Zhang Wantang is the leader of the four halls in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Chaotian Palace and is very powerful. However, Yang Jing was afraid that the other party would suffer a loss because he did not know the details of the Sanren, so he gave a special reminder.

Meng Tianyou naturally nodded in agreement. Zhang Wantang was also on his side. Even if Yang Jing didn't say anything, he would remind Zhang Wantang that at their level, they were all old-timers and would basically not capsize in the gutter.

After the discussion, Yang Jing said: "You guys go down first. I also want to see the Grand Master. After all, Jiangzhou is under his control. If Zhang Wantang destroys the Qin family this time, it is better to inform the Grand Master in advance."

...Muyang County, Qin Mansion.

The morning sun has just revealed its horns, and before its ruddy color spreads over the earth, Lin Huaian is already sitting on the wall, munching on fruit.

He was wearing the white robe and sitting there, if the fruit were removed, he would look like a gentle and elegant scholar in white.

"This fruit is not tasty."

A sudden voice sounded from behind.

Lin Huaian tilted his head slightly. It was the little beggar. He was wearing an orange robe. He was petite and had two ponytails on the left and right. He swayed up the wall and sat down next to Lin Huaian. He pillowed his legs and raised his elbows. He stood on his knees and held his pointed chin with his hands, looking at the lake in the distance with Lin Huaian.

"You ate quite deliciously the other day."

Lin Huaian glanced sideways.

The little beggar pouted: "That's because he is too hungry. Everything tastes delicious when you are hungry."

Lin Huaian didn't answer, and handed over a fruit casually: "Would you like to eat it?"

The little beggar was silent for a moment, took it silently, and took a bite.

"Thank you for taking me in. The person who will pick me up will be here in a few days. I came here specifically to say thank you this time."

The little beggar finished chewing a piece of fruit and wiped his mouth.

Lin Huai'an narrowed his eyes: "I left you in the Qin family when I saw you sneaking around, but I didn't mean to take you in, but later I heard you said that someone wanted to pick you up, so I changed my mind and kept you, otherwise who would have That Xianxin took in a little beggar."

"Don't call me little beggar. I have a name. My name is A Li." The little beggar muttered, and then asked curiously: "Why did you decide to keep me when you heard someone wanted to pick me up?"

Lin Huaian continued to nibble on the second fruit: "Because I think you have a strong background, and the words that come out of your mouth are always related to the rebellion, so I thought that the person who picks you up should not be short of money. When the time comes, more or less You need to keep some money, otherwise wouldn’t it be that all these days of raising you have been in vain?”

A Li fell silent again. He remembered the recent discussion in the Qin Mansion. This man seemed to have some special obsession with spirit stones. He always liked to kidnap people and then let them use the spirit stones to redeem them. With this past record, she I don’t think the other party is just talking casually...
