A knife in love

Chapter 512

The purple-robed man was stunned, and said: "Miao Daoist's words are a bit strange, but Shi can't quite understand."

Then the Taoist came back to his senses, and said to the purple-robed person: "Master Shi, you didn't participate in the Hutouyan Shajiabao meeting this time because of important matters, but you don't know how many great people have appeared in the rivers and lakes." Among them was a swordsman surnamed Li, only in his 20s, who actually defeated Tang He, the head of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau. I heard that Yun Feiyang, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, also died in the hands of this person. I just saw him on the side of the road The gray-clothed man looked a bit like that man in terms of body shape. It's just that this man with the surname Li has a great reputation and is already a great figure in the Jianghu. He is said to have teamed up with Liu Yong, the star-picking swordsman of the Huashan School, and other experts. And go, it stands to reason that it shouldn't appear in Luoyang..."

That purple-robed man is none other than Shi Nianhao, the head of the Shi Family Knife.In the mansion, he heard Shi Nianyang, Peng Yuanxi and others report in a panic, saying that his eldest son Shi Tianbao was attacked outside Guandi Shengjun Temple, and more than [-] disciples of the Shijia sword, including Shi Tianbao, were wiped out.

Shi Nianhao turned pale with fright, and at the same time sent his disciples to report to the Yamen of the prefect of Luoyang, begging the prefect of Han to send effective arresters to catch the murderer.He brought his trusted disciples, led by Shi Nianyang, Peng Yuanxi and others, and rushed to Guandi Shengjun Temple together.At that time, Miao Jian, the owner of Xiaoyao Temple in Wuyun Mountain in Luoyang, happened to be a guest in Shi's residence. Hearing that Mr. Shi had been killed, he also volunteered to go with Shi Nianhao.Xiaoyaoguan is a great sect near Luoyang, the master of the temple Miao Jian is not weak in martial arts, this time he went to the capital to participate in the battle of Shajiabao, when he passed by Luoyang City on his return, he came to see Shi Nianhao.

Shi Nianhao was saddened by the death of his eldest son, and originally did not want outsiders to be involved in this matter.But after thinking about it, although Shi Nianyang and Peng Yuanxi didn't say it clearly, it seems that the situation is most likely the work of Lei Quan's disciples.In the Battle of Cherry Valley that year, Lei Fist Sect suffered a crushing defeat. Afterwards, the two sides were filthy, and the Shijia Dao gradually gained the upper hand, squeezing most of Lei Fist Sect's power out of Luoyang City.It's just that although the Thunder Fist Sect was defeated, they were still unconvinced.In recent years, he has formed a friendship with the Songshan School and has always wanted to make a comeback.Eight years ago, the former head of the Thunder Fist Sect suddenly died of a sudden illness. Yang Ziqiao, who took over as the head, was unknown in the Thunder Fist Sect before, but turned out to be the new head of the Thunder Fist Sect.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the former head of the Thunder Fist Sect died suddenly overnight, and he did not leave a will for who will take over as the head.According to the practice of Thunder Fist Sect, it is necessary to use martial arts to decide who will take over as the head of the sect.The old master has nineteen disciples, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts, especially the two disciples who rank third and fifth are particularly outstanding. Everyone in the whole family thought that the master's position would definitely fall into the hands of these two.Unexpectedly, when Thunder Fist Sect held a meeting at Longmen, Yang Ziqiao, the No. 17 disciple of the old head, showed his might and defeated eleven brothers in a row. No one dared to challenge him anymore, so Yang Ziqiao took over as the head .

After Yang Ziqiao became the head of the sect, the Thunder Fist Sect was ready to move, constantly encroaching on Shijiadao's territory.For example, the Baima Temple in the east of Luoyang City was originally under the control of Shi Jiadao.It's just that Lei Quanmen has his eyes on this territory and keeps making troubles.Although Shijiadao tried his best to defend the White Horse Temple, but the area east of the White Horse Temple has been completely controlled by Lei Quanmen, and he actually suffered a big loss.In the past few years, Thunder Fist Sect has also squeezed into Luoyang City, opened several pawnshops and taverns in the city, and it is likely to make a comeback.

Shi Nianhao knew that Shijiadao and Leiquanmen were mortal enemies, but it only hindered Shaolin Temple and Songshan School from making peace, barely maintaining the situation of no war and no peace.It's just that once the situation changes, the two sides will eventually have a battle.Therefore, after Shi Nianhao took over as the head of the sect, he never dared to be negligent in his daily life. Outside, he used Shaolin Temple as a strong support, and inside, he urged his disciples to practice martial arts hard to prevent Lei Quan's sneak attack.Not to hesitate to spend a lot of money to manage the government to suppress Lei Quanmen.Thanks to his hard work, the Shijiadao gained a foothold in Luoyang City, and the Thunder Fist Sect could not go beyond the Thunder Pond.

After the news of Yan Wuji's challenge to Sha Yiming spread across the rivers and lakes, Shi Nianhao also had the idea of ​​going to watch it.But after thinking about it, if he leaves Luoyang and Lei Quanmen takes the opportunity to attack aggressively, I'm afraid the Shijiadao disciples who stay behind will not be Lei Quanmen's opponents.Therefore, suppressing curiosity, he stayed in Luoyang City without leaving.In the past few days, comrades from the rivers and lakes have been passing through Luoyang, and they all belong to the sect.Shijiadao is the largest gang in Luoyang City, and has contacts with various gangs in the Jianghu.Therefore, when the leaders of these gangs pass through Luoyang, they will all visit Shi Nianhao at Shifu.

Shi Nianhao took the opportunity to inquire about the news of the First Battle of Shajiapu, but these people had everything to say.Some people said that the Battle of Shajiabao was a big conspiracy. Some people deliberately set up suspicious battles to provoke internal fighting among the various martial arts schools, and the two sides almost fought each other.Fortunately, the court got the news and sent a large army to Hutouyan to suppress it, so no catastrophe was caused.Some said that Dongchang and Jinyiwei wanted to gather and wipe out all the major gangs in the martial arts, and falsely claimed that Wuji wanted to fight Sha Yiming, which attracted all the major gangs to Hutouyan.The East Factory ambushes all out, and the major gangs are about to be wiped out in one fell swoop.Fortunately, the minister of the imperial court, with sharp eyesight, detected Dongchang's conspiracy and sent troops to separate the two sides. Only then did the major gangs in the martial arts escape from this difficulty.Some people also said that the beggar gang wanted to become the largest gang in the world again, and the leader Deng Yao was even more wishful thinking. He wanted to be the emperor, so he tricked the gangs to Hutouyan and wanted to hold a martial arts conference to force the big door gangs to recognize the beggar gang. The position of the first gang.As a result, the court also knew the news and sent a large army to suppress it.There was a scuffle between the two sides, and the whole army of the Beggar Gang was wiped out.The Taishan faction who rushed to Hutouyan to help boxing also suffered heavy losses, and the five elders of Taishan also had internal strife.What's even more bizarre is that the head of the Yunnan caravan, Qiu Gang, patted his chest and said to Shi Nianhao that both Sha Yiming and Yan Wuji had cultivated into the bodies of half-immortals.When the two were fighting, they didn't use martial arts moves at all, but sacrificed flying swords and fought in the air.Later, Na Yan Wuji turned into a giant snake, Sha Yiming turned into a fierce tiger, and started a fight under the Tiger Head Rock.In the end, Sha Yiming made a superior move and killed the giant snake transformed by Yan Wuji with one bite.

The more Gang Leader Qiu said, the more bizarre he became, and he didn't know where he ended up talking.Hearing that Shi Nianhao's head was as big as a fight, he secretly scolded Chief Qiu for being a fool.

But he didn't know that the people who came to see him in the Shifu were just some small gangs of the third and fourth ranks in the Jianghu.Qunhao, led by Liu Yong, Li Qiufeng and others, fought against the Fifth Army Battalion under Hutou Rock, and then rushed into the valley and hid in the cave under Hutou Rock.During the whole process, these small gangs and factions just mixed among the heroes and did not fight against the officers and soldiers.Most of the things are just heard, not seen.Therefore, when Shi Nianhao asked about it, he talked nonsense.In comparison, Gang Leader Qiu huddled among the group of heroes and watched the scene of the fierce battle between the tiger and the white snake, so his words sounded extremely absurd, but they were actually somewhat close to the truth.

Shi Nianhao has received more than a dozen groups of martial arts gangs passing through Luoyang City in the past few days. The things these people said are bizarre, and some are simply absurd.The more Shi Nianhao listened, the more confused he became, but he couldn't offend these people, so he had to bite the bullet and listen, and he had to send some money when he left.However, with so many gangs appearing in Luoyang City, he was extremely nervous. He was afraid that Leiquanmen would take the opportunity to collude with some evil heretics to attack Shijiadao, and he strictly ordered his disciples to be on guard.Yesterday he heard that a mysterious expert appeared in Cuiyun Peak, so he sent people to investigate, but one of them mysteriously disappeared.The other two stayed at the Tianyi Inn in the west of the city.Shi Nianhao sent his brother Shi Nianyang to Tianyi Inn to investigate the origins of these two people. Shi Nianyang came back and reported that these two people were both surnamed Yu. They were a master and a servant. They were from Jiangsu. Transfer via Luoyang.That person was just a small official who served as the county magistrate, and had nothing to do with Lei Quanmen.

After hearing this, Shi Nianhao felt relieved.Unexpectedly, soon a disciple came to report that Wei Gan from Thunder Fist Sect had personally come to Tianyi Inn and brought wine and food to the master and servant surnamed Yu.After hearing this, Shi Nianhao thought to himself, the Thunder Fist Sect's power was originally in the west of Luoyang City. A few years ago, Shi Jiadao forced the four gates of the Thunder Fist Sect out of Luoyang, but in the past few years, it has made a comeback.The Thunder Fist Sect has been entrenched in the west of the city for many years, and this time Wei Gan, Yang Ziqiao's favorite fourth disciple, personally gave a gift to a small official like the county magistrate, which was a blatant demonstration against the Shijiadao.

Thinking of this, Shi Nianhao called Shi Nianyang over, and asked him to deliver food and drinks to the master and servant surnamed Yu tomorrow morning, so that they should not fall behind the Thunder Fist Gate.Although this little official surnamed Yu probably won't be needed, but the situation will never change, and no one knows what will happen in the future, and Lei Quanmen must not let Lei Quanmen take the lead.

That night, the head of the arresting squad of Luoyang Mansion personally visited the door, saying that a Han tomb in the north of the city had been robbed, and the yamen sent people to arrest him. Unexpectedly, Dianzi had martial arts, wounded four arresters, and escaped from Luoyang City. .The prefect of Han sent him to seek help from the Shijiadao, and asked Shi Nianhao to send a master of the Shijiadao to assist in the arrest of the suspect.Shi Nianhao had a close relationship with the prefect of Han, so naturally he would not refuse the request of the prefect of Han.I thought to myself that he was just a tomb robber, and his martial arts must not be much higher.It just so happened that the eldest son, Shi Tianbao, was fine in the mansion, so we might as well ask him to lead someone to arrest the suspect. First, he can accumulate experience, and second, he can take the opportunity to make a name for himself. In the future, he will take over as the head of the house, so it is difficult for others to say anything.Relying on Shi Nianhao's name, Shi Tianbao is used to being arrogant in Luoyang City, and he doesn't pay attention to people in the Jianghu at all.Therefore, after listening to Shi Nianhao's order, he left Shifu with more than 20 disciples of Shijiadao, and went straight to the south of the city to arrest people.

It's just that after Shi Tianbao left, Shi Nianhao was still restless, so he sent Shi Nianyang to lead people out of the house to meet him.At this time, a disciple came to report that Miao Jian, the master of Xiaoyao Temple in Wuyun Mountain, came to visit.Shi Nianhao didn't dare to be negligent, and went out of the mansion in person, the two exchanged a few words, and then he knew that Miao Jian had participated in the Shajiabao battle, and had just returned to Luoyang from the capital, and came to see him specially because he was passing by Shi's mansion.Shi Nianhao welcomed Miao Jian into the mansion, put out fragrant tea, and was about to ask Miao Jian about the truth about the Shajiabao battle in detail, but Shi Nianyang rushed into the hall, saying that Shi Tianbao led more than 20 people in Guandi Shengjun All of them were killed in an ambush outside the temple. Judging from the wounds on everyone's bodies, they all died from the sword.

Rao Shi Nianhao, who is a martial artist, suddenly heard that his eldest son was attacked and killed, but he was also shocked, and immediately took people out of the house in a hurry to check outside the city.All the way, he only cared about galloping his horse, and didn't talk to Miao Jian.At this time, when Miao Jian mentioned that the passer-by was suspicious, he was also suspicious, thinking to himself: "If what Taoist Miao said is true, this person must be a very powerful martial arts master. He suddenly appeared outside Luoyang City, Could it be that Tianbao was harmed by him?"
