Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 1568 Make up your mind
Just when the Xinmeng vanguard team was blocked by fishermen more than 300 miles away from Dali, the Diancang faction was speeding up their time to practice martial arts.Everyone knew that this time was at the critical moment of life and death, and the Xinmeng made a massive attack, clearly intending to put them to death.If they want to survive, they must fight back!Fight back!Fight back!

What is the point of counterattack, that is to improve one's own strength, and only by improving one's own strength is the greatest counterattack.Therefore, every day, every hour, even every moment, is extremely precious to them.

On the night of this day, an "uninvited guest" suddenly came to Diancang.

In fact, this "uninvited guest" is not a stranger, he is Duan Fu, one of the attendants of Duan Yanzong, the patriarch of the Duan family in Dali.

Ever since Fang Jianming and Dugu Jiutian officially broke up, no one from the Duan family had any contact with Dian Cang.Fang Jianming didn't blame Duan Yanzong, because he was well aware of Duan Yanzong's difficulties.

Although the Duan family is very powerful in Dali, in the whole arena, especially in the face of such a huge force as the Xinmeng, the Duan family can only look intimidated.

As the suzerain of the Duan family, Duan Yanzong, how could he disregard the lives of the Duan family?

The arrival of Duan Fu brought some warmth to Fang Jianming.As the battle was approaching, Duan Yanzong even sent Duan Fu to greet him, which showed that Duan Yanzong still had him as a friend in his heart.

In the hall, Duan Fu exchanged pleasantries with Fang Jianming, and suddenly asked, "Master Fang, do you know what happened more than 300 miles away?"

Fang Jianming was stunned, and said: "To be honest, in the past month, in order to fight against the Xinmeng, my Diancang faction has already withdrawn the defense line to within ten miles of Diancang, not to mention three hundred miles away, even if it is more than ten miles away. It is also difficult to know about things other than this. Brother Duan asks this, but do you have any hints?"

Duan Fu nodded, and said: "According to my Duan family's investigation, someone blocked a large number of pioneers of Xinmeng on the road three hundred miles away."

Fang Jianming was surprised and delighted, and asked: "I don't know who this person is, but he has such great ability."

Duan Fu shook his head and said: "My Duan family has no way of knowing who this expert is. He seems to have appeared out of nowhere. When he was found, he had already appeared in a long pavilion by the road."

Fang Jianming thought for a while, but couldn't figure out who this person was, so he could only smile wryly and said, "Fang has no way of guessing who this expert is. Most of my friends from Diancang have already gathered here. Said that this master's martial arts are profound and unpredictable, and Fang even doesn't know his origin."

Duan Fu originally thought that Fang Jianming knew something about this person's identity, but he felt strange when he heard Fang Jianming say this.

When he came, he had already been instructed by Duan Yanzong, thinking that the fisherman must have a great relationship with Fang Jianming, otherwise, why would he disregard his own safety and stand up for Fang Jianming?In fact, Fang Jianming didn't know the details of this person.

Duan Fu pondered for a while, and said: "Sect Leader Fang, from what you can see, since this person took action to block the Xinmeng, he must be a friend of your faction."

Fang Jianming said with a smile: "Although I can't figure out the identity of this person, since he helped me to stop the powerful enemy from attacking, it should be said that he is a friend of my Diancang faction."

Duan Fu said: "That's good." Standing up and clasping his hands, he said, "I have to go back and report to the suzerain, so I will bid farewell to Sect Master Fang."

Fang Jianming stood up and said, "Please send regards to your suzerain on behalf of Fang."

Duan Fu said: "Definitely, definitely."

When Fang Jianming sent Duan Fu out of the mountain gate, a person jumped behind him, it was Bai Yiyi.Looking at Duan Fu's figure going down the mountain, she asked, "Sir, what is he doing here?"

Fang Jianming turned his head and said with a smile: "He came to greet me on behalf of Duan Yanzong, and he also told me one thing. He said that three hundred miles away, someone helped us stop a large number of pioneers from the Xinmeng."

Bai Yiyi was taken aback, and said, "Really?"

Fang Jianming said: "Dali is the Duan family's sphere of influence. Although the Duan family can't control the place three hundred miles away, if something happens, how can it escape the Duan family's eyes and ears."

Bai Yiyi asked, "Do you know who this person is?"

Fang Jianming shook his head and said, "I don't know yet."

Bai Yiyi pondered and said: "This man can block the pioneers of the Xinmeng, which shows that his martial arts are very high. However, we can't take it lightly. When the army of the Xinmeng really arrives, this man may be hard to resist. In the end, we still have to rely on our own strength .”

Fang Jianming said: "Sister Yiyi's words are very reasonable. Let's go back and call everyone to make a total calculation together." After speaking, he took Bai Yiyi's hand and walked inward.

Dali Ancient City, Duan Family.

After Duan Fu came back, he came to Duan Yanzong's study.

At this moment, in the study, apart from Duan Yanzong, there is also a man in his fifties.This man was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was Zhuge Bufan, one of Jin Yiwei's deputy commanders.

It turned out that after the change of seizing the door, Zhuge Bufan and his righteous brother Sai Likui only stayed in the prison for a few days before Zhu Qizhen regarded them as his old ministers, released them without charge, and restored them to their posts. .

Later, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, and Xu Youzhen all fought for merit and tried their best to recommend talents to Zhu Qizhen, saying that these people had all made contributions in the change of seizing the door.

Zhu Qizhen didn't refuse either. Anyone who was recommended would be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and silver, while the big one would be promoted.However, he also secretly supported a group of cronies.Zhuge Bufan and Sai Likui are two of them.Zhu Qizhen made an excuse casually, and promoted Zhuge Bufan to be the deputy commander, and Sai Likui was also made a thousand households.

Why did Zhuge Bufan appear here? What is his purpose for coming here?Apart from Zhu Qizhen and Duan Yanzong, there is probably no third person who will know about it.

Duan Fu told Duan Yanzong about his going to Cang Cang in detail.Of course, Zhuge Bufan also heard it.

After Duan Yanzong listened, he thought for a while, waved his hand, and called Duan Fu out.

"Master Zhuge, what's your opinion?" Duan Yanzong asked.

Zhuge Bufan said: "The words of Marquis Xiaoyao don't seem to be fake."

Duan Yanzong said: "Duan has a little knowledge of Fang's personality. He is definitely not the kind of person who tells lies. It is because of this that Duan made friends with him."

Zhuge Bufan smiled and said: "Sect Master Duan, you don't need to worry too much, I'm just discussing the matter as it stands, and I won't make irresponsible remarks to Xiaoyaohou at all." After thinking about it, he said: "Sect Master Duan, what the emperor asked me to tell you I don't know if you have thought about it?"

Duan Yanzong said: "That matter is very important. If you are not careful, it will put the Duan family in a situation where there is no redemption. Duan is still thinking about it."

Zhuge Bufan said earnestly and sincerely: "Sect Master Duan, you have to know that on the surface this contest is a battle of martial arts, but it is actually related to the future of Daming. Once the Xinmeng defeats the Diancang faction, the entire Jianghu, no, it should be said that the entire Ming Dynasty , will be the world of Dugu Jiutian. Although the emperor canonized Dugu Jiutian as the "Emperor of Wu", it is only a stopgap measure. You should be clear about the relationship between the emperor and Xiaoyaohou. In a popular saying, Xiaoyaohou is the emperor's Brother-in-law, is it possible that instead of helping this brother-in-law, the emperor will help a person who is a great threat to him?"

Duan Yanzong said: "This point has already been considered by Duan."

Zhuge Bufan said: "Sect Master Duan, you are a smart person, I think you understand the situation of the Duan family better than I do."

Duan Yanzong said: "Naturally, Duan is aware of the situation of my Duan family in Dali. I'm just worried that the Xinmeng is too powerful. Even if I join forces with the head of Fang, I'm afraid it may not be able to resist the masters of the Xinmeng."

Zhuge Bufan said: "Sect Master Duan's embarrassment, I also sympathize with you. However, eating the king's salary and worrying about the king's worries, Zhuge Bufan, as a member of Jinyiwei, must convey the emperor's words. Success or failure depends on one action, you The Duan family in Dali can only maintain peace if they judge the situation and give help when they see the opportunity. Otherwise, even if the emperor does not convict you, your Duan family in Dali will be swallowed up by the Xinmeng."

Duan Yanzong looked deep in thought, apparently still thinking about it.

Zhuge Bufan said again: "Sect Master Duan, why are you still hesitating? If you were worried about the lack of manpower in the Duan family, didn't I tell you earlier that the [-] dead men in the Mu Palace had already gathered for orders. When the time comes, they will be your subordinates." Next, if you want them to go east, they will go east, completely under your command. Time is running out, I hope you can give me an affirmative answer as soon as possible, so that I can make arrangements early."

After a while, Duan Yanzong looked cold, and said: "Okay, I will give Lord Zhuge a positive answer now, and I decide to fight Xinmeng to the death!"
