I bent the devil

On the first day, City Lord Song looked indifferent and half-reliant, waiting among the green and green waves of Qiongtai on the rockery.

On the fifth day, City Lord Song was still sitting upright in the study, waiting in the aroma of books.

On the tenth day, the eldest son of the Song Dynasty closed his eyes slightly and wrote a big word 'forbearance' with a calm expression, and waited.

... No. 40 days.

With his hands behind his back, he quietly watched the first dead leaf whirl and fall from the top of the tree. After a long silence, he smiled softly.

"Ha ha."

---------------

"Aqiu!" Gu Baba rubbed his suddenly itchy nose while looking at the sky in doubt.

Strange, is it really getting colder?He actually felt a chill down his spine just now, and what he was most afraid of was that this evil wind would enter his body. In the ancient times when medicines were scarce, even the simplest headache and fever might aggravate his condition.

But... after paying the heavy wages he just received, Gu Jiu couldn't help but smile slightly, looking extra warm in the bright sunshine.It took him nearly a month and a half to accumulate enough money.

Although it's not enough for him to wear gold and silver like the first time, but at least it's enough for him to appear in front of Tsing Yi with a little dignity, right?

After greeting Brother Wang and Uncle He and others and presenting them with gifts, Gu went back to his room to pack up the things.In fact, he didn't have many things. After all, he looked down and out when he first entered Huaicheng, so these things were gradually added during the period of Escort Gate.After a little tidying up, I left all the things that were inconvenient to carry to the person who lived in this room later, tidied them up, and finally only packed a small bag.

Just about to step out of the door, I happily went to the clothing store I had been optimistic about for a long time to buy something, and then went to the city lord's mansion to look for Tsing Yi, but saw a panic-stricken big man running towards the Hewu Escort Bureau, and saw standing at the door staring blankly. Looking at his own Gu Jiuhou, he roared loudly. "Where is Uncle He?!"

It's an emergency.After showing the man the way, Gu Jiu only had a second to think about it, and decided to see if he could help.

In terms of martial arts, he is only better than ordinary people who don't know martial arts at all, and his strength and agility are a little bit higher, but if the opponent is a martial artist who knows a little bit of martial arts, Gu Jiu probably doesn't even have three moves. able to resist.

He is not a reckless person, but if there is something within his power, he will do his best.

After all, both Uncle He and Brother Wang treated him well.

So after thinking it over, Gu temporarily followed, although he didn't hear everything, he probably knew it.Not far from Huaicheng, the Escort got into a fight with people from the Wulin League.In addition to ability and good integrity, the most important thing is to be slick in all directions.

Sometimes the escorts pass by roads that are not without green forest heroes, but before arriving at that place, they will regard the other party's reputation as whether to go up the mountain to worship the top of the mountain and pass safely, or decide to take a detour.

To put it bluntly, after gaining fame in the Jianghu, did the famous cottage really rely on looting?

No, after all, besides Jianghu, there are officials watching from the sidelines.Even some escort gates with the shadow of the government in the background, even if they just swaggered past without putting on a mountain top, it is estimated that they chose to turn a blind eye because they were afraid of the government behind them.It's just whether there will be an opportunity to wear small shoes for this dart door later... Huh, it's hard to say clearly.

Therefore, most of the so-called green forest heroes' source of livelihood is the congratulatory gifts from Baidao's bodyguards when they pass by the mountain.

As for those three-legged cats, they often avoid the dart flags of the dart gate when they see them.

Therefore, people who walk in the rivers and lakes should be said to be the most well-rounded and well-connected. Apart from Yanlou who sells and collects all kinds of information, and other underground intelligence such as the dark guards and dead soldiers behind the scenes of other martial arts families, the rest is the bodyguard. .

Whether it's a low-ranking person or a small official in the court, it seems that they can make friends.

It is also because of this that the dart family has always been led by peace and wealth, and those who can talk about it will never do it.After all, in addition to being rivers and lakes, they are also businessmen.Just like Brother Zhang and the others that Gu Jiu met on the road.

Has gradually come out of the 'Wulin' area, marginalized into half of the Wulin, ordinary businessmen.

Gu temporarily doesn't know if there are Tsing Yi's hands and feet and pushes, but in his own opinion, this change is a very good start.If you can live a peaceful and stable life, no one would be willing to live a precarious life on the edge of a knife.

It's just that people who were in the martial arts world didn't have any more options to choose from. In addition, the court's long-standing dislike and vigilance towards the existence of the "martial arts" made them use various methods to block the way out of the "martial arts". The result is to speed up the speed of splitting 'Wulin' and 'Great Zhou'.At least through the martial arts conference at the beginning, Gu Jiu had already seen the respect of Song Yi, the leader of the martial arts alliance, from the general martial arts people in such a situation of no support.

Sometimes, this kind of extreme admiration and admiration is nothing more than thinking that there is no other way to choose, but to believe in 'that person'.It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is that he is in a high enough position, enough for everyone who is still mired in the quagmire to give birth to those hearts similar to 'faith', that's enough.

This was exactly what Song Qingyi did.

In detail, in fact, he didn't do anything special, it's just that since ancient times, it's better to be sparse than to be blocked.So Song Qingyi really broke through that hole and set up a few more roads in front of these people. Even if many people dare not step on it easily, there are always people who are brave enough to be the first to eat crabs. After seeing those people succeed After that, others will definitely start to follow suit.

Over time, Wulin Meng, the Wulin family, and even the leader of the Wulin who has always been aloof, for the martial arts people may not know who the emperor is but must know, will be pulled down from the unattainable altar.When the "Martial Arts Leader" is not so tall, those original impressions will gradually shake until they are broken.

This is what Song Qingyi has been doing in the past few years.It seems that he was isolated by Songjiabao because of Song Yi's illness. In order to prevent him from staying in Songjiabao and intensify the conflict with Song Zhishang, Song Yi handed over all the property in Huaicheng to him, similar to a disguised distribution. Home.

In the later stage, after becoming the Lord of Huaicheng and having more reliance, he did not stand on Song Zhishang's side, and was always wary that he would deal with Song Jiabao at this time, and even the third elder Song, headed by Song Zhishang, had already prepared when ready.But he punched the cotton.

Why use your hands if you can solve them with your head?

Song Qingyi made Huaicheng better when Song Zhishang and the others were only concerned about his attack and had no energy and time to care about other things.However, when Song Zhishang thought that winning the Wulin League in Liangshan would serve as the greatest restraint in future confrontations with Song Qingyi, he suddenly discovered that those people who were originally available in the world have gradually become marginalized, and even There are a few faint situations where people who have completely broken away from the 'Jianghu' become normal Dazhou people.

And the deterrent power of the Martial Arts League, after Song Qingyi gave a few more paths for everyone to choose, has become less deterrent than before.

He didn't do anything, but Song Zhishang and others had already lost most of the people who would be available in the future.Even the internal branches of the Songjiabao were faintly moved.After all, some of the Song family didn't approve of Song Zhishang's status as the young master of the castle, and some of them chose to stand on the sidelines.

After working hard for so long, half of it was easily defeated by the opponent. It was finally piled up, and the self-righteousness is already an extremely huge force.Would Song Zhishang not hate him?Would people who were on Song Zhishang's side hate him?

And it just so happens that in the Wulin League right now, the person who helps the deputy leader manage some things is an old acquaintance of Gu Jiu and Song Qingyi—one of the former 'Four Heroes', and now the 'Mr. Baiyu' Li Mo.

"Young Master Baiyu, it's impossible for us to get out of the way to search for you. The rules of the dart family, if the dart is there, the dart is shameful." Chen Jin, the chief escort of the Hewu Escort Bureau, spoke with anger.The other party is just a second-rate figure in the world, but because Wulin League and Song Jiabao are standing behind him, he has the right to block his way today and try to challenge him.But to put it bluntly, it's just a domestic dog.

Li Mo smiled slightly, and closed the fan with a sound of 'swish'. After years, the whole person became more attractive because of various spring breezes, but those eyes that were clear when he was young, now there are only plots and tricks up.

No matter how good the appearance is, it will be ruined by bad intentions.

What's more, at best, Li Mo is just a hypocrite who only dares to use unscrupulous methods secretly, and the vanity accumulated with rich clothes and food can only deceive ignorant girls who have never seen the world.

Li Mo, who took the folding fan, stretched out his hand to understate it without any sincerity, and after making a random bow, he smiled faintly at Chen Jin, whose face turned livid again, "The words from Chief Escort Chen, I just received reliable news ...that's why he made such a bad move to stop Hewu's bodyguard team. As long as we let us investigate...it will be released immediately. If a sick foreigner enters Huaicheng, even if City Lord Song has peerless martial arts...hehe."

"As I said just now, no one in my bodyguard team is an outsider. And just now I asked the bodyguards of my bodyguard team to search, but to no avail. Wouldn't it be too deceitful for you to stop me like this?" Chen Jin scolded.

"How dare you." Li Mo waved his folding fan confidently, still trying to smile gracefully but gently, "But for the sake of Huaicheng and the Wulin League, today's closing... really can't be avoided." His face was slightly dark, originally The Wulin League members who faintly surrounded the dart team unsheathed their swords.

When the bodyguard team saw them, they also pulled out their sheaths without hesitation and faced each other, guarding each other to be vigilant.

The intense tension in the air seemed to indicate that this fight was inevitable!
