Gou hangs up in a troubled world

Chapter 21 Choice
"The Guluo Gang is not as rich as the Phantom Gang. I'm still short of 900 taels of silver."

Su Wenxuan shook his head speechlessly, and he came out of another gang called "Baitao Gang".

It didn't take long for Su Wenxuan to leave the Baitao Gang with 1000 taels of silver, leaving behind the corpses of their two gang leaders.

With his strength, secretly ransacking such a small gang is as difficult as eating and drinking, and there will be no accidents.

But this kind of thing can't be done too much, because there are big forces behind these small gangs.

He is doing it now because others are not prepared.

Once he is prepared, he is likely to fall into it if others set a trap and wait for the rabbit.

Therefore, after collecting enough 1 taels of silver tonight, Su Wenxuan stopped.

If you want to rely on this method to make up the second 1 taels of silver, it is unreliable, so don't worry about it.

The money was already enough, Su Wenxuan chose to upgrade [No. [-] hanging seat] without hesitation.

[The upgrade is successful, the current training speed of hanger No. [-] is sixteen times. 】

Sixteen times the speed of cultivation, tireless cultivation day and night, one day is comparable to ordinary people's cultivation for more than a month.

It didn't take long.

[The cultivation breakthrough of "Rotating Leaf Knife Technique", the current state is perfect. 】

["Piercing the Cloud Knife Technique" The second form of "Putting the Clouds and Seeing the Sun" has made a breakthrough in practice, and the current state is complete. 】

After the completion of these two martial arts, [No. [-] hanging seat] is used to specialize in the third form of the "Cloud Piercing Saber Technique" that has just been acquired.

[Hang-up seat No. [-]] is to practice "Elephant Armor Skill" one day, and "Cloud Piercing Strength" one day.

Su Wenxuan's strength is changing with each passing day and growing rapidly.

Ten days after the system upgrade was successful.

A registered disciple of Chuanyun Martial Arts came to Buzhuang, "Senior Brother Su, Master has ordered you to go back and discuss matters."

"Deliberation? Do you know what it is?"

Su Wenxuan asked.

The registered disciple shook his head to express his ignorance.

Su Wenxuan didn't ask any more questions, but he was just curious, Qi Hengyue, as the owner of the Yunyun Martial Art Museum, can decide on his own, why do they need disciples like them to discuss the matter?

Soon after returning to Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall, Su Wenxuan found that other direct disciples who had entered the rank had also returned, and Qi Hengyue was obviously not the only one who summoned him.

In the main hall.

All the martial artists who have entered the rank in the Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall gather here.

Among them were Qi Hengyue's personal disciples, his children, and the guest minister of Chuanyun Martial Arts School, etc.

The strength of Chuanyun martial arts school is indeed not weak.

In addition to Qi Hengyue, the peak third-rank powerhouse, there are two third-rank warriors.

There are seven second-rank warriors.

There are more than ten first-rank warriors.

This is only the people who are staying in the Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall now, there are still some people who have left the teacher and are not in the Yunyun Martial Arts Hall, but if something happens to the Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall, some of them will still come to the rescue.

Qi Hengyue came out from behind, his eyes swept over the crowd, "The last thing is that the city of Xixi is not peaceful, I believe you all know that."

Everyone nodded, and any fool could see that it was not peaceful, and the days to come would become more and more uneven.

"The root of the chaos is actually the confrontation between the two forces."

Qi Hengyue raised two fingers, "The first is the City Lord's Mansion, and the second is the Xu family."

"The reason why I have been targeted everywhere in Chuanyun Martial Arts Gym is because I don't belong to the City Lord's Mansion, nor does it belong to the Xu family. It is very difficult to survive in the cracks."

Su Wenxuan nodded secretly.

The two forces are fighting for each other, and if they want to remain neutral, they must have invincible strength so that people dare not provoke them.

Or they are so weak that people don't bother to talk to them.

Chuanyun Martial Arts is neither extremely strong nor extremely weak, but a power in the middle, which is the most troublesome.

The two major forces will not give them neutral space.

Either join the city lord's mansion side, or join the Xu family side.

If you want to be a fence-riding faction, before the two major forces formally confront each other, the first one to be eliminated is the fence-riding faction.

"I called you here to discuss which side we want to join in the Cloud Chuan Martial Arts Academy?"

Even Qi Hengyue didn't dare to decide on such a big matter. After all, the people below had their own ideas. What if he wanted to join the side of the City Lord's Mansion, would the people below have enmity with the City Lord's Mansion?
One of his decisions may cause the Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall to fall apart.

And as long as you choose a certain side, you will definitely become the enemy of the other side. It's fine if the side you choose wins in the end, but if you lose, Chuanyun Martial Arts will die in an incomparably miserable way.

Someone wanted to speak, but Qi Hengyue waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't say it yet, we still have some time, you go back and think it over carefully before making a decision."

Everyone exited the main hall, and acquaintances gathered together to discuss with each other.

Some think they want to join the city lord's mansion, some think they want to join the Xu family, each has its own reasons.

Su Wenxuan didn't have anyone he knew well, so he went back to his room alone, thinking about this matter in his heart.

In fact, Su Wenxuan's first thought was not to join a certain party, nor to be a fencer, but... to slip away!
Fencers are the most dangerous, and they must not be.

Joining one side does not guarantee absolute victory, and it is equally dangerous to fight the other side.

The only option is to run away and come back after the Xu family and the City Lord's Mansion have a result.

Of course, this method is only suitable for him alone, not for the entire Chuanyun martial arts school.

Running is also a kind of wall-riding faction. When the results come out and then come back, can Pingxi City still have a place in the Cloud Piercing Martial Arts Academy?I am afraid it is also a grave.

Su Wenxuan wanted to run away, but there was another thing that gave him a headache.

That is "Cloud Piercing Strength" and "Cloud Piercing Sword Technique".

He only learned the first three stages of "Crossing Clouds".

"Cloud Piercing Saber Technique" has a total of five moves, and he has only learned three moves.

If he runs alone, he will never get the last three moves of "Cloud Piercing Strength" and the last two moves of "Cloud Piercing Sword Technique".

"Hey... People are in the Jianghu, and they can't help themselves."

Su Wenxuan made a decision, "Wherever Master goes, I will follow."

He has no grievances or enmities with the City Lord's Mansion and the Xu family, and of course he doesn't have a good impression, so it doesn't matter which side he joins, just follow Qi Hengyue.

After all, everything he wanted was with Qi Hengyue, so he could only follow Qi Hengyue.

three days later.

Qi Hengyue summoned everyone again.

"In three days, you must have thought it through clearly. If you have any thoughts, please speak out. You must give a sufficient reason, and you can't come here casually."

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately said: "I think I should join the City Lord's Mansion. After all, the City Lord's Mansion is an official force. Although the official method is weak now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse..."

"I don't agree." As soon as this person finished speaking, someone immediately retorted, "The city lord's mansion has long been decayed, and the officials don't care about our small place. The Xu family is powerful and rich in resources. I am more optimistic about the Xu family's final victory... ..."

"I agree to join the City Lord's Mansion."

"I think I should join the Xu family."

The two parties started to quarrel with each other, and they had their own reasons, which sounded quite sufficient, not nonsense.

Of course, some of them must have been bought by the Xu family or the City Lord's Mansion, deliberately exaggerating the strength of a certain party.

Su Wenxuan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, he sat quietly, he didn't even listen to what the group of people said, he squinted and closed his eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Qi Hengyue suddenly looked at Su Wenxuan and asked, "Su Wenxuan, what do you think?"

He already knew about Su Wenxuan's destruction of the Evil Shadow Gang, and even asked Qi Da to give Su Wenxuan a special reward. He admired this disciple who had been keeping a low profile, but broke out decisively and ruthlessly.

The rest of the people quieted down, and they all looked at Su Wenxuan.

Su Wenxuan opened his eyes, stood up, saluted before saying: "The disciple follows the master, wherever the master goes, the disciple will go."

Everyone was speechless.

Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?
Qi Hengyue just didn't make a decision, so he asked us to discuss it.

It's not the right time for you to flatter!
Su Wenxuan didn't care what other people thought, his answer was this anyway.

Moreover, Su Wenxuan believed that Qi Hengyue must have already made a decision in his heart.

He asked everyone to come to discuss, nothing more than hoping to get a result that would satisfy everyone, so as not to let the Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall fall apart because of this, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have his own opinions.

Qi Hengyue took a deep look at Su Wenxuan, and said nothing, "Sit down."

Su Wenxuan sat down, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.

"I have heard your opinions." Qi Hengyue said slowly, "I have decided...to join the City Lord's Mansion."

"Master!"

"Master!"

Those who wanted to join the Xu family were in a hurry.

Qi Hengyue waved his hand, "I have made up my mind. Although the officialdom is declining now, the City Lord's Mansion still represents the orthodoxy. Even if the Xu family can win a temporary victory, it is impossible to win a permanent victory. We can't just look at our eyes. "

Unless all the top officials are destroyed and the entire country is overthrown, the city lord's mansion will be orthodox, and this is where the advantage lies.

What could be behind the Xu family?

"Those who are willing to join the side of the City Lord's Mansion can continue to stay in the Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall, and those who are not willing can also leave at will, and I will not stop it."

Qi Hengyue also didn't want to keep people who disagreed with him, lest they cause trouble for him in the future.

No one moved, they seemed to be willing to follow Qi Hengyue's leadership and stand with Chuanyun Martial Arts.

"Okay, this matter is so decided."

Qi Hengyue suddenly turned to one side, bowed slightly, "Master Shen, please."

A figure came out from behind. It was a middle-aged man with a bald head and sharp eyes, like a knife like a sword, sweeping across the crowd. Anyone who dared to meet his gaze would feel a slight pain in his eyes.

"Fourth grade master!"

"I have seen Lord Shen Ting!"

Everyone quickly saluted, even Su Wenxuan stood up and saluted.

Rank [-] masters cannot be disrespected.

"You have made the right choice." Shen Ting looked fierce, but his voice was relatively peaceful, "Join our City Lord's Mansion and wipe out the rebellious officials and thieves of the Xu family. We will not treat you badly."

Shen Ting said some more words, nothing more than threats and temptations coexisting, while beating everyone, it did give some benefits.

After Shen Ting left, Qi Hengyue said: "Recently, you all stayed in the martial arts hall, there is no important matter, so don't go out easily."

The news that Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall has fallen to the city lord's mansion will soon reach the ears of the Xu family. If they are still running around at this time, they are looking for their own death.

Even Su Wenxuan didn't want to go to Buzhuang anymore, he would be assassinated if he went there.

He is not afraid of assassination. After all, his superficial strength is not strong, and the people who come to assassinate him will not be too strong. He can handle it, but that will expose his strength, which is not in line with his ideas.

Qi Hengyue ordered them to stay in the Chuanyun martial arts hall, which was the best thing.

It's just that in this way, the properties of Chuanyun Martial Art Museum may have to be discarded.

Someone raised this question, "We all stay in the martial arts hall, what about the outside industries? Should we all give up?"

Qi Hengyue had expected it a long time ago, he said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I have reached a consensus with the City Lord's Mansion to sell all those properties to them, and when we win in the future, we will take back the properties."

Su Wenxuan shook his head in his heart. If he could win, the property would of course be recovered. The City Lord's Mansion would not be able to eat so much, and after the Xu family was wiped out, there would still be a lot of vacant property. The Chuanyun Martial Arts Hall would be able to eat enough. of.

But... can you really win?

The Xu family dared to openly provoke the City Lord's Mansion. Their strength should not be underestimated, and there are even hidden and unknown things.

Even if the City Lord's Mansion can win in the end, how many of the people present can survive until then?

Even Su Wenxuan didn't dare to say that he would definitely survive to the end.

The city lord's mansion recruited them, but they would not let them live a quiet life. Sooner or later, they would go to fight with the Xu family, and casualties were inevitable.

"Sold our property, and the City Lord's Mansion gave us a lot of money."

Qi Hengyue said: "We are one, I will not take this money alone."

"For those present, 2000 taels of silver for each first-rank martial artist, and 5000 taels of silver for each second-rank martial artist."

Qi Hengyue clapped his hands, and immediately someone brought out several large boxes. After the boxes were opened, there was a lot of silver inside, which made people dazzled.

Su Wenxuan was short of breath. If he could give all the silver to himself, he would be able to upgrade [No. Hang up position] the cultivation speed has also increased to sixteen times!
It's a pity that he can only take 2000 taels of the tens of thousands of taels of silver in front of him.

After the money was distributed to everyone, Qi Hengyue continued: "This is just the beginning, there will be more in the future."

Su Wenxuan calmed down. He believed that there would indeed be more money in the future. The City Lord's Mansion let them work hard and would not be stingy with this little money, but whether they would enjoy it with their lives was another matter.

After taking the money, everyone left. Many people had smiles on their faces, and their joy was visible to the naked eye.

Not long after Su Wenxuan walked out, Qi Da stopped him, saying that Qi Hengyue wanted to see him, so Su Wenxuan followed Qi Da to Qi Hengyue's small courtyard.
