The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 476: Baiyujing in the Mountains

Southern Fujian has many insects and mountains.

The mountains and forests are beautiful, but also dense.

But among these towering mountains, there is a mountain hut that no one knows about.

In front of the cottage, there is a quiet bamboo forest and the sounds of chickens and dogs are endless.

Inside the house, a young man in his thirties was wiping the sword in his hand with a piece of white brocade with a serious look on his face.

The sword is very shiny, but it is just a sword, not a famous sword.

Behind him, countless strange and bizarre weapons were placed on the weapon rack, which was a dazzling array and a feast for the eyes.

The sword was sharp, and after being rubbed by the white brocade, it shone even more dazzlingly, which made the young man look somewhat satisfied.

The young man stroked the sword's edge with his fingers, smiling.

In front of the young man, a man in extremely luxurious clothes quietly watched the young man stroking the sword with a calm expression, as if he had already been accustomed to it.

The young man holding the sword ignored the man in brocade clothes, and the man in brocade clothes didn't care either.

After waiting for a while, the man in brocade clothes slowly spoke.

"The Shenlong Gang has extended its tentacles into the south by borrowing the power of the Sun Mansion. Does Boss Qinglong really not care at all?"

The young man holding the sword kept his face calm when he heard the man in brocade clothes speak.

He put the sword to his ear, listened attentively, and spoke with a smile.

"The emperor doesn't care, and everyone in Boyuan is willing to cooperate. I'm just an idle person in the martial arts world. Why should I care about what the demon dragon does?"

The man in brocade clothes laughed: "But I know that the Qinglong Society's southern assets are being devoured by the Shenlong Gang."

What are the industries of Qinglong Society? Vehicles, ships, shops and foot traffic.

The reason these industries are able to form a unified will is because people are eating each other everywhere. Without help, they will become fat meat in the bowls of others.

Shenlong helped, and using a combination of carrot and stick, quickly unified the allocation and management of basic survival supplies.

Stores were transformed into chains, vehicles and ships were used to establish transportation centers, and foot and pawn shops were transformed into intermediary agencies.

Boss Qinglong will not create anything out of thin air. Those who gather because of interests will naturally separate because of interests.

The young man stroking the sword narrowed his eyes and looked at the hereditary waiter in front of him, smiling unchanged, and responded.

"The Marquis knows a lot."

Di Qinglin looked at the Qinglong boss in front of him, the man who had saved him from danger.

This time he had to go there in person and persuade him to take action against Li Chaofeng personally.

The imperial court has its own dignity. If it goes too far, it will allow Li Chaofeng to gain the upper hand, which is not good news.

But the world of martial arts has always been respected.

The winner takes all and the loser is eliminated.

The leader of Qinglong knew what Di Qinglin was thinking, and he also knew that if he didn't take any action, the influence of Qinglong in the south would indeed dissipate a lot.

But he was unwilling to be led by Di Qinglin, so he held the sword in front of him and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"I heard that the Canglong is rampant along the southeast coast. As long as the Shenlong flag is not flying, it dares to sink even the ships of the imperial navy, not to mention pirates. It is really domineering."

Hearing this, Di Qinglin's face turned gloomy.

The Canglong was rampant on the sea, not giving face to anyone. The navy had no way to deal with it, and the imperial court was even less able to make an effort to encircle and suppress it.

After all, the maritime ban set by Taizu is still in place.

The Canglong was rampant on the sea, but it did not go ashore.

The Shenlong Gang has been lawless on both sides of the Yangtze River for several years. Now they are lawless on the sea. For the imperial court, it is just a fight between dogs and Japanese pirates. They just need to stand by and watch.

To use the words of those corrupt scholars, wouldn't it be better if we all retreated together and moved away from the sea?

But anyone who has lived by the sea knows that the maritime ban has always been a reason to restrict the court from developing maritime transportation, and when it is time to transport by sea, everyone will still do so.

Of course, in the eyes of the imperial court, this was considered smuggling.

A dumb person cannot express his pain in words, and this refers to the businessmen who make huge profits from maritime smuggling.

Di Qinglin was not the emperor, so he had good ears and eyes. Naturally, he understood what the Qinglong boss was mocking. He did not refute, but just reminded him calmly.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Hearing Di Qinglin's words, Boss Qinglong laughed and said with great pride.

"Indeed, we are friends. We were and are friends now."

Looking at Di Qinglin's extremely calm face, Boss Qinglong continued.

"In the future, of course."

Hearing this, Di Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked softly, "When will you make your move?"

When Boss Qinglong heard this, he frowned for a moment, but quickly smoothed his brows and spoke with a contemptuous tone.

"Don't worry, the dragon has a very keen nose and is very timid."

"Once he catches my tail, even I won't be able to do much."

"If I were to walk around the martial arts world with him like Yao Yue, he wouldn't feel ashamed, but I would be completely embarrassed."

When Di Qinglin heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Li Chaofeng is already the overlord of the underworld. When he starts fighting, he never cares about decency, which is quite interesting.

But this is not the time to analyze why Li Chaofeng is like this. Di Qinglin bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"In that case, Qinglin will wait for good news."

"Good news..."

The elder Qinglong laughed: "The magic dragon's lightness skill is unmatched. Even a top figure like Yaoyue can't get close to me. The Marquis trusts me too much."

Di Qinglin continued: "If Qinglin can't even trust Boss Qinglong, who else in the world can be trusted by Qinglin?"

After the pleasantries, Boss Qinglong nodded.

"No delivery."

Di Qinglin bowed and said, "Goodbye."

As Di Qinglin disappeared into the mountain, a man dressed as a servant appeared behind Boss Qinglong and asked.

"Sir, the Sky Dragon is not easy to deal with. Do we really want to wade into this mess for the court?"

Boss Qinglong sneered as he listened to his men's persuasion.

"When will the court allow me to do anything? It just happened to be the right time."

The servant was puzzled: "What do you mean, sir?"

Boss Qinglong raised his sword and his eyes became sharp.

"The Azure Dragon Society and the Shenlong Gang, when two dragons meet, they have to compete to see who's better."

The servant frowned: "Sir, why do you have to do this?"

When two tigers fight, one of them is bound to be injured. If it is not a life-and-death fight, there is no need to fight.

Li Chaofeng is extremely hostile towards the imperial court, but he is quite sympathetic towards the underworld.

The Qinglong Society did shrink due to the expansion of the Shenlong Gang, but the core members became wealthier.

The people who were gathered by the Qinglong Society with benefits have scattered, but that does not mean that the Qinglong Society’s foundation of hundreds of years is gone.

The world of martial arts will always have its ups and downs, but as long as the core of the Qinglong Society remains, it will reappear even if its name disappears.

Boss Qinglong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a competition. We won't fight to the death."

Looking outside the door, Boss Qinglong showed a trace of inexplicable satisfaction on his face.

"There were once three swords in the martial arts world: the invincible divine sword, the dragon tooth demon sword, and the hidden devil sword."

"Now the divine sword has passed away, the demon sword has lost its name, but there are two devil swords that are famous throughout the world."

"When two dragons meet, they only need to compete for superiority and inferiority. When two demons fight each other, it is a real life-and-death struggle."

The servant was startled: "Bai Xiaolou has entered the customs?"

Boss Qinglong smiled and said, "Bai Tianyu has been dead for so long that the world is almost forgetting the name of the Divine Sword Hall. If Bai Xiaolou doesn't enter seclusion again, I'm afraid those demon sect elders will not agree."

After saying this, the sword in Boss Qinglong's hand instantly returned to its sheath and he stood up.

Facing the mountain fog, Boss Qinglong smiled again.

"In the past, Bai Tianyu took away Guo Wei's title for the title of Divine Sword."

"There are two magic swords in the martial arts world today, and only one can exist."

"It would be a shame if we couldn't watch such a grand event up close."

After hearing this, the servant understood what Boss Qinglong meant and asked again.

"Sir, will you still use that name when you go out this time?"

Boss Qinglong closed his eyes slightly, holding the sword in his hand, chanting.

"The white jade capital in the sky, the five cities on the twelfth floor, the immortal caressing my head, knotting my hair and receiving immortality."

"The poems of the Sword Immortal are always full of immortal meaning. I hope Li Chaofeng likes this name."

"Bai Yujing."
