The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 158: Distinguishing Friends and Foes
After hearing the other party say only the word "get out", Sun Youcai became furious.

"Liu Junshan, what do you mean?!"

The loud shout immediately alarmed the people passing by nearby, and they all stopped and looked over.

Liu Junshan remained expressionless, and said calmly: "When it comes to rewards and punishments for great merit, even if the commander really agreed in person, there must be a signed document, and the rules cannot be broken!"

Sun Youcai said with a dark face: "Why are you so rigid? Can't you be flexible?"

"Oh, if I make an exception for you, Lord Sun, today, then Lord Qin will come to see me tomorrow, so do I have to make an exception as well?
If everyone can be flexible, what is the point of these rules of the Six Gates?"

"伱!"

Sun Youcai was so angry after hearing this that he pointed at Liu Junshan but was speechless.

Fang Xun shook his head slightly when he saw this, and was ready to persuade him. In fact, he was not in a hurry to exchange for the three great merits. Anyway, Yu Jiaolong was there and could not run away. What belonged to him could not be snatched away by anyone.

And at this moment, another voice suddenly interrupted the scene.

"Good! Lord Liu said it very well. Rules are rules, and they cannot be broken because of some people!"

When Fang Xun heard the voice, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar slowly walking into the field and coming to Liu Junshan's side.

Although the middle-aged scholar's eyes were always on Sun Youcai, Fang Xun felt that the other party's aura was always locked on him, as if he had great ill will towards him.

Liu Junshan just glanced at the scholar and ignored him, but Sun Youcai's face changed.

"Hmph, Qin Wanpeng, stop talking nonsense. Brother Fang, let's go. We'll make the decision for you when the commander comes back!"

At this time, more and more people who passed by heard the noise and came to watch. Sun Youcai felt embarrassed, so after saying something, he was about to leave with Fang Xun and the other two.

"and many more!"

Qin Wanpeng suddenly shouted, and Sun Youcai said with a sullen face.

"Why, Master Qin, you are so powerful, but you won't let people go?"

"Brother Sun, if you want to leave, then leave. I can't control you. But these three people have some problems."

After Qin Wanpeng said this with a smile, his eyes suddenly became sharp and his gaze was fixed directly on Fang Xun.

“Haha, Guangling Prefecture’s Black Hand Sword Fang Xun, I’ve heard of your great name for a long time. I heard that you’ve reached the level of a late genius in just nine months, and your strength has almost caught up with that of an enlightened one.

Not only have you mastered Senior Wei's Four Forms Free-Hand Fighting to perfection, you are also proficient in swordsmanship, and have mastered many unique internal skills from both Taoism and Buddhism.

Please explain where you learned all this Kung Fu. I don't remember that Mr. Wei has collected so many top-notch Kung Fu skills."

All of a sudden, the looks of the surrounding detectives became strange.

Sun Youcai immediately shouted angrily: "Qin Wanpeng, you are just looking for trouble!"

Fang Xun sneered. Although he didn't know why Qin Wanpeng was hostile to him, whether it was because Sanyuetang wanted to deal with him or because of personal reasons, it didn't matter.

"Oh, I've always heard that Lord Qin is in charge of Jiangzhou's secret arrest system. Any disturbance in Jiangzhou cannot be hidden from your eyes and ears. After meeting you today, I feel that hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person.

The Black Water Abyss has been lurking under your nose for many years, but only this year did you discover the clues. I really admire you.

Where I learned Kung Fu is none of your business, if you have the ability, go check it yourself!"

Sun Youcai sneered after hearing this: "That's right, trash is trash. You only dare to bully others in your own home. I guess your master in the capital also thinks so, so he sent you to Jiangzhou to avoid embarrassing yourself in the capital."

Qin Wanpeng's face changed when he heard Fang Xun and Sun Youcai's mocking remarks.

"Humph, you have a sharp tongue, but you should stop talking nonsense. Fang Xun, tell me the truth, did you learn your Kung Fu in Black Water Abyss?"

wow——

The onlookers were all in an uproar, looking at Qin Wanpeng in surprise. Although they were quarreling, they all knew that the relationship between the two commanders, Sun Youcai and Qin Wanpeng, had always been bad, so it was normal for them to have a few quarrels after meeting.

But now directly accusing Fang Xun of being a member of Black Water Abyss has changed the nature of the matter. This is directly tearing their relationships apart!
At this time, Liu Junshan, who had been silent for a long time, frowned and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Master Qin, you can't say anything careless. No matter what Fang Xun is like, his employment was signed by the commander himself, so he is one of us.

I know that you were punished by the Commander-in-Chief for your negligence in the matter of Black Water Abyss, but public affairs are public affairs and private affairs are private affairs. If you don't obey the Commander-in-Chief, that is your private matter. Don't break the rules!"

"you!"

Qin Wanpeng immediately looked at Liu Junshan in astonishment, and Fang Xun was also surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would suddenly speak up to help him.

"Hmph! Don't let me catch you!"

Qin Wanpeng's face turned pale and blue. He glared at Fang Xun fiercely, then snorted coldly and left angrily.

"What are you all standing there for? Are you all free? Why don't you go away?"

Liu Junshan also shouted something at this time, and the onlookers shook their heads and dispersed.

At this time, Fang Xun bowed to him and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Liu."

Compared with Sun Youcai, he prefers to deal with people like Liu Junshan.

Although Sun Youcai greeted me with a smile, who knows what will happen in the future? Will he say one thing in public and another behind my back?
Liu Junshan still spoke in a stern tone.

"No need to thank me. No matter how unworthy you are, you are still a colleague personally reviewed by the Commander-in-Chief.

As for the three great merits, they are yours, and no one can take them away from you. However, you have to wait until the commander comes back to process them. I will not approve them for you in advance!"

After saying that, he left without looking back. Seeing this, Sun Youcai smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

After calming down, he said to Fang Xun, "I'm sorry, Brother Fang. Not only did I fail to help you get the job done, but I also lost face."

"That's not true. Brother Sun is also worried about my affairs."

Fang Xun smiled and said, "Let's go. It's almost lunchtime. I'm not very familiar with Jinling City. How about Brother Sun choose a restaurant and I'll host you so we can have a drink together?"

"Haha, my dear brother, you've just arrived, how can I let you spend money on your first meal? If we talk about the time-honored brands in Jinling City, it has to be the Wenxianglou at the west pier of the city. Come on, I'll take you to see it. I guarantee that you will never forget it after eating it once."

The group chatted and laughed as they left the Liushenmen base and came to Wenxianglou in the west of the city, where they ordered a table of delicious wine and food.

The midday sun was extremely scorching. Apart from the porters sweating profusely at the dock, there were not many people on the streets of Jinling City.

In a private room on the second floor of Wenxiang Tower, Fang Xun and three other friends had three rounds of drinks and looked a little tipsy.

After finishing another glass, Fang Xun asked under the influence of alcohol: "Brother Sun, who is Qin Wanpeng and why did he attack me as soon as we met?" After what happened just now, Fang Xun also had a preliminary understanding of the internal situation of the Jiangzhou Six Gates.

Among the three deputy commanders, Sun Youcai should be Yu Jiaolong's confidant, while Liu Junshan is impartial and absolutely neutral and only cares about the rules of the Six Gates.

However, although Liu Junshan was very rude to Sun Youcai and made him lose face, Sun Youcai was angry but more of a helpless person and did not really hold a grudge against him.

Compared to Sun Youcai, Fang Xun would rather be friends with people like Liu Junshan.

Although he seems difficult to deal with, he is a principled man and will not stab you in the back.

Even if a friend is down and out, the one who lends a hand is often someone like Liu Junshan.

As for Qin Wanpeng, he seemed to be a relative of someone who was sent here by some big shot in Beijing. He had a hostile relationship with Sun Youcai.

But in the final analysis, he must find out Qin Wanpeng's background.

The other party is a member of Sanyuetang, so his backers in the capital may not be very clean.

Sun Youcai sighed and said, "Brother, you are new here and don't understand some things. It's because you are blocking his way."

"Blocking his way?"

"It's a long story. You may not know that behind Qin Wanpeng is the third prince of the capital, and the current emperor has been on the throne for forty-five years, and there are only five years left to go before he reaches fifty."

Fang Xun listened to the other party's story. Although Qin Wanpeng was far away in Jiangzhou, he was involved in the fight for the throne among the princes.

Since the founding of Daxuan, there have been clear regulations on the succession of the throne.

Each emperor would reign for a maximum of fifty years. At the end of fifty years, he would abdicate and enter the Imperial Clan Court as the foundation of the royal family.

If there were no such rule, it would not be surprising that the situation of "How could there be a prince for two hundred years in the world?" would have occurred.

After being promoted to the rank of God in this life, a Yin-Shen Grandmaster can live to be 200 years old, and the prince who wants to compete for the throne must also be a Yin-Shen Grandmaster.

As an emperor, his strength must not be too weak. Otherwise, even if the palace masters protect him very closely, his weakness of poor strength can be easily caught and beheaded!

At least even if Master Yin Shen faces an assassination attempt from a Heavenly Ranking expert, he won't be killed instantly. He will have a buffer time for the experts who are protecting him to react.

During the emperor's reign, as the supreme ruler, the resources for cultivation were rare and precious beasts. If he worked harder, he might be able to live longer if he could break through to the level of Yangshen Grandmaster.

The person behind Qin Wanpeng is the current third prince.

He was originally a gangster, but later he joined the Third Prince and lived a life of luxury. He was also very hardworking, and he reached the highest level of enlightenment when he was less than forty years old. It was not impossible for him to become a master.

Ten years ago, the fifty-three-year-old Qin Wanpeng was sent by the third prince to serve in the Six Gates of Jiangzhou.

The reason he came to serve in Jiangzhou Liushenmen was not really because the Third Prince exiled him because he thought he was a waste, as Sun Youcai had said before, but he came for the position of Commander of Jiangzhou Liushenmen.

The throne will be passed in five years, and there are undercurrents among the princes who aspire to that position, and they are all making great preparations.

The third prince wanted Qin Wanpeng to at least become the commander-in-chief of the Six Gates of Jiangzhou, and it would be even better if he could attract some extra helpers for him.

Originally, under the operation of the third prince, Qin Wanpeng had a great chance to take over after the previous commander-in-chief stepped down two years ago.

But he didn't expect that Yu Jiaolong, whose background was no less than his, would appear out of nowhere. She was already on the list of people at the age of only 20. She was a rare genius in the world.

Fortunately, Yu Jiaolong had said before that she was just going out to gain experience, and would step down once she broke through the divine will.

Qin Wanpeng, whose position was taken away, had no choice but to swallow his anger. Anyway, with Yu Jiaolong's qualifications and foundation, he would only have to wait for a few years at most.

But now there is another equally evil person named Fang Xun, and Yu Jiaolong is planning to train him as his right-hand man. There are even rumors that he wants Fang Xun to take over his job.

It is conceivable how great the psychological trauma of Qin Wanpeng is.
"I see. Thank you, Brother Sun, for clearing up my confusion."

"Where is it, it should be."

There was another round of drinking and toasting, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they dispersed and went their separate ways.

On the way back to the mansion, Fang Xun and the other two did not say a word until they returned to the attic deep in the mansion, then he spoke.

"Since we know that Qin Wanpeng is an enemy, we need to deal with him as soon as possible."

He went to the Liushenmen headquarters and figured out who were his friends, who were his enemies, and who could be won over.

As for his enemy Qin Wanpeng, Fang Xun had no intention of engaging in intrigues with him. He wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and already had a complete plan in mind.

Yan Ming, who was standing by, was surprised after hearing what he said: "Xun brother, are you planning to take action right away, and in the city?!"

Jinling City is not like Lijiang Pavilion. There are many hidden talents here, and there are also masters in charge. It will be very easy to be exposed if you take action.

But he immediately added: "Since Brother Xun is going to take action, he must have thought of a foolproof plan. Brother Xun, tell me, what do you need us to do?"

Not only him, but even Dongfang Que was waiting for Fang Xun to speak. As long as he said a word, even if they went directly to the Six Gates’ base to kill Qin Wanpeng, the two of them would not frown.

Fang Xun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw their reactions.

"What are you thinking? How could I really take action in the city? There is more than just killing the enemy to eliminate them."

Dongfang Que asked doubtfully: "So what are you going to do, Brother Xun?"

Fang Xun smiled and said, "In the next few days, I will go on a long journey to help our commander. I will be back in five days at the longest and two days at the shortest.

During this period of time, no matter who came to see me, they all said that I was in seclusion and recuperating and had reached a critical point, and could not see guests! "

"Okay, Brother Xun!"

The two agreed and left. Fang Xun took out the Prison Moon Sword, painted the bright silver scabbard pure black, and disguised the handle.

Then he took the bronze ghost mask and some other miscellaneous luggage with him, changed his face, and his muscles and bones began to move.

He changed into a completely different person with a different height, body shape and appearance.

Fang Xun left the mansion quietly without disturbing anyone in the mansion.

Not long after, a swordsman with a black knife on his waist came out of the city.

There was no telling how many of these types of people there were in Jinling City. They were not at all noticeable and did not attract any special attention.

Like a drop of water, it silently merged into the sea.
