Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 40: Unity based on righteousness, divided based on benefits

The "Ten Thousand Horses Hall" and the "Sacred Sword Hall" have gradually become two heroes, but this has caused great distress to the various forces outside the customs, not knowing which side to support.

After all, "it's hard to be too small between two major powers." If the "Ten Thousand Horses Hall" and the "Sacred Sword Hall" really start a war, there will definitely be no room for the existence of swaying middle forces, lest people become like fishermen who benefit from the conflict between snipe and clam. .

However, when it comes time to make a choice, they have to gamble on whether they will suffer disaster by standing on the wrong team.

Although this decision was difficult, as the atmosphere between "Ten Thousand Horses Hall" and "Shen Knife Hall" became increasingly tense, there were even several small-scale conflicts among the gangs below, and Ma Kongqun and Bai Tianyu, who were originally close, Wu Jian's friends actually turned a blind eye, and these large and small forces outside the customs finally took the time to make a choice.

The results were beyond many people's expectations.

In people's impression, although the "Kanto sword and horse" are neck and neck, the power of the "sword" should be higher than that of the "horse".

This is all because Tian Tian Yu Shen Sword is invincible and righteous. He has convinced many people and helped many people with his magic sword. Logically speaking, whether everyone respects his martial arts or appreciates his kindness, more people should choose to support him.

On the other hand, Ma Kongqun, although he occasionally showed his fangs and earned the reputation of "Pegasus in Frost Clothes, Demonic Hands in Bingxin", most of the time he acted in a low-key manner, far less overbearing and domineering than Bai Tianyu.

When dealing with these large and small forces outside the customs, he rarely talks about martial arts or loyalty. Instead, he openly does business with everyone and draws them into the increasingly large business network of "Wanma Tang". In the process, they can share the benefits as long as they contribute. This kind of cooperative relationship is mostly established due to interests.

But when the matter came to pass, most of these forces chose to side with the "Ten Thousand Horses Hall". The reason was also very simple. Compared with Bai Tianyu's martial arts, power, intimidation and emotional ties, Ma Kongqun's side had real money. The interests are the most touching.

If they turn their backs on the "Sacred Sword Hall", they may be accused of betrayal; but if they stay away from the "Ten Thousand Horses Hall", they will lose the huge wealth brought by each other's partnership business.

As for whether after making such a choice, they might still face the threat of Bai Tianyu's invincible sword in the future, they were all sure that with the "Ten Thousand Horses Hall" standing in front of them, even if Bai Tianyu's sword was swung out, it would not be able to hit it for the time being. to yourself.

And in the process of confrontation between the two major forces, they only played a flag-waving role at best. When the outcome is decided between the two sides, if Bai Tianyu's side wins, the worst they can do is make a serious apology to him. With Tian Tianyu's arrogance, he wouldn't pursue little people like them to the end.

Seeing that overnight, the "Shen Sword Hall" in the land of Guandong has become a standalone force. Mei Shuying was shocked by Ma Kongqun's methods and reminded Bai Tianyu to immediately visit all the forces in person, either by force or by inducing benefits. They pull back to their side.

Bai Tianyu didn't care much about this. With his pride and self-confidence, he thought that he could handle everything with just one person and one sword. Even if his opponent was Ma Kongqun, whom he always valued, he didn't think that the opponent could block his full-strength divine sword strike. After he defeats Ma Kongqun and annexes the "Ten Thousand Horses Hall", these losers will naturally turn to the side of the "Shen Knife Hall".

It wasn't until "Iron Hand Gentleman" Yi Dajing announced that he was parting ways with "Shen Knife Hall" that Bai Tian Yu could finally sit still.

Tian Tianyu does not have the talent and patience to run a business like Ma Kongqun. Most of the expenses for maintaining the huge expenses of "Shen Knife Hall" come from the support of Yi Dajing, who has a huge fortune.

Originally, Yi Dajing was just a powerful person in the land of Guandong. Later, he was befriended and supported by Bai Baiyu. Baitianyu contributed his efforts and Yi Dajing paid for them, and they cooperated with each other to do many good deeds to help those in need. As a result, Baitian Yu became famous far and wide. Yi Dajing also gained the reputation of an "iron-handed gentleman".

After that, Bai Tianyu introduced Yi Dajing into the "Magic Sword Hall" as a guest guest, letting everyone know that Yi Dajing was his friend and no one was allowed to slight or offend him; Yi Dajing also reciprocated the favor and gave huge amounts of wealth to the "Magic Sword Hall" every year. "Tang" recruits troops and horses.

Now that Yi Dajing has announced that he is leaving the "Shen Knife Hall", just the problem of feeding hundreds of strong men under his command has given Bai Tianyu a huge headache.

Therefore, Bai Baiyu finally left the "Shen Knife Hall" and rushed to Yi Dajing's "Iron Hand Village" with his younger brother Bai Bai Yong and dozens of masters Pegasus.

Arriving at the "Iron Shou Village", Bai Tianyu saw an unexpected but reasonable person next to Yi Dajing. He cupped his hands with a complicated expression and said, "Brother Ma, you really have a good trick!"

Ma Kongqun looked calm and returned a salute to Bai Tianyu, saying with a smile: "I know that Brother Bai will definitely come, so I am here to wait for you. There are some things that you and I need to explain clearly in person." Bai Baiyu nodded and said with a smile: " That’s fine!”

At that moment, he ordered Bai Tianyong to take the people to stay in the courtyard, and he went to the front hall with Ma Kongqun and Yi Dajing.

After everyone sat down, Bai Tianyu first asked Yi Dajing: "Brother Yi, Bai is confident that he is not unkind to you. If you stab Bai in the back like this, you will be called a 'gentleman'."

Yi Dajing's face turned red and white. After a long while, he finally stood up and bowed to Bai Tianyu. He said in a somewhat astringent voice: "Brother Bai, my reputation as an 'Iron-handed Gentleman' is all due to my insecurities." Fake. But for this false reputation, I have emptied most of the family fortune accumulated by my ancestors over the years. Now I have given up the idea of ​​becoming famous in the world. I just want to keep my family wealth safely and become a rich man. Please also ask Brother Bai to make it happen!”

Bai Tianyu closed his eyes slightly, and after a long silence he sighed softly: "That's all, it turns out that Bai was too sentimental and misjudged Master Yi's ambitions. Different ambitions mean different ways. From then on, the 'Shen Sword Hall' and the 'Tie Tie Hall' We no longer have anything to do with the Hand Village. Master Yi, please stay away for now. Bai wants to use your mansion to catch up with Brother Ma."

Listening to the calm words of the other party, Yi Dajing became more and more palpitated. He took a peek at Ma Kongqun and saw him smiling and nodding gently. Then he calmed down a little, bowed his hands to the two of them, and took the initiative to retreat outside.

Bai Tianyu looked at Ma Kongqun and said, "Does Brother Ma already know my identity?"

Ma Kongqun nodded: "When we were in the 'Golden City', there was an injured man who sneaked into my caravan. It was from his mouth that I found out that Brother Bai was actually the young master of the Demon Cult."

Tian Tianyu said with a complex expression: "Actually, I am a little envious or even jealous of you. Although you are helpless and work hard on your own, you can do whatever you want to do and become who you want to be. And I am just I can only do what others want me to do, and become what others want me to be. In fact, I have always wanted to be a pure rogue, relying only on one person and one sword, thirsty for wine in the cup, drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman, and laughing with a close friend. Friend, behead your enemy in anger!"

Ma Kongqun spread his hands and said helplessly: "No one can be truly free in life. Just like me, I have many ties now, so I have to do something against my will. Hey, no matter what kind of dreams we had when we were young, in the end everyone will inevitably live I hate that look!"

"well said!"

Tian Tianyu burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he leaned forward and shed tears.

After laughing for a long time, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Ma Kongqun also said nothing and watched him go out and take the people away.
