Xue Ruyi, Ning Qinghan

?That night.

"It's so late, why did Castle Master Zhao come to see me?" Dugu City poured a cup of strong tea for Zhao Wei, and handed the cup to Zhao Wei's hand.

"The purpose of my coming here, I believe you, Dugu sect master, will understand it." Zhao Wei put the teacup in his hand on the table.

"Although I guessed a thing or two." Dugu Cheng looked at Zhao Wei suspiciously, and asked, "But, what do you mean by looking for me alone?"

Zhao Wei smiled and said: "I know that the head of the Dugu Sect is not only the master of martial arts, but also a shrewd businessman. Zhao wants to negotiate a deal with the head of the Dugu Sect. I don't know if the head of the Dugu Sect is willing."

"Business?" Dugu Cheng frowned, complex waves flickered in his eyes.

"Yes, business." Zhao Wei picked up the teacup by the table, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "As long as the master of Dugu Sect helps me to successfully form an alliance with the four factions, Zhao will definitely help Dugu Sect The lord ascended to the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance."

Dugu City stared at Zhao Wei for a while, Fang said quietly, "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, I'm just expressing the thoughts in the mind of the Dugu sect master."

Snapped!

Dugu City jumped up against the case, glared at Zhao Wei angrily, snorted, and said: "Master Zhao, if you are too self-righteous, aren't you afraid of breaking the taboo in the martial arts?"

"Hey, Master Dugu Sect, don't be angry." Zhao Wei got up, patted Dugu City's left shoulder, and said with a smile, "You listen to my words, and it's not too late to get angry again!"

"Hmph!" Dugu Cheng angrily sat back on the chair.

Zhao Wei followed and sat down, and said slowly: "Brother Dugu, to be honest, I, Zhao Wei, have never admired anyone in my life, but you, the Dugu sect master of the Qianqing sect, I, Zhao Wei, admire you from the bottom of my heart. !"

"Lord Zhao, that's absurd." Dugu City couldn't help softening his face when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Zhao Wei smiled slightly, and continued: "The Qianqing Sect is dominating the south of the Yangtze River, rich and famous, and has countless disciples. These are all thanks to Dugu Brother, your hard work. Although the Qianqing Sect is one of the four sects, But in terms of achievements alone, the other three sects are far behind. Nowadays, there are many martial arts sects in Jianghu, big and small, and there are many gangs, fish and dragons mixed together, and the dragons have no leader. It is the time when someone needs a leader! Therefore, in Zhao's humble opinion, it is better to establish it as soon as possible. A leader of the martial arts alliance, calling on the martial arts to protect the righteous way of the world together!"

"Since this is the case, why does Castle Master Zhao think that I am suitable to be the so-called leader of the martial arts?" Dugu City asked sideways.

"In the martial arts world, the four sects are the leaders. However, according to my opinion, although Ling Tiannan, the owner of Lingjian Villa, has high martial arts skills, his qualifications are mediocre and he is arrogant. Since then, she has devoted herself to the Buddha, and unless the martial arts encounters a catastrophe, Master Ci'en will ignore other things. And Rongxue Palace's head Leng is young, her qualifications are still inexperienced, and she is still a girl. Just look at these , she is not suitable to be the leader of the alliance."

"Sect Master Dugu." Zhao Wei stood up suddenly, straightened his expression, clasped his fists at Dugu City, and begged: "Master, you are a master of martial arts, smart and capable, highly respected, and everyone in the martial arts world knows you. Xiao. Now, only you can take on this great task! And I, Zhao Wei, will definitely help the Dugu sect master with all my strength! As long as the sect master gives an order, Aolongbao will go through fire and water, and I will do anything!"

After saying that, Zhao Wei bowed deeply to Dugu City.

"Master Zhao, you can't do it, you can't do it!" Dugu Cheng immediately stood up and went to help Zhao Wei.

After supporting Zhao Wei, Dugu City hesitated for a moment, then said: "I still need to think about this matter, I hope Castle Master Zhao will not be offended."

"Should be, should be." Seeing that Dugu City's eyes were full of confusion at the moment, Zhao Wei couldn't help curling his lips secretly, and said lightly: "Master Dugu, it's getting late, so Zhao will not bother you."

"Okay, I'll take Master Zhao out."

……

……

"Zhao invited everyone here today because he wanted to discuss with you the matter mentioned in the previous letter."

Zhao Wei stood up from the big chair, walked to the center, looked around the crowd, and said: "I, Aolongbao, am full of sincerity, and want to form an alliance with the four factions. After the alliance, Aolongbao will definitely be in trouble with the four factions. Share blessings, share honors and disgraces, and make contributions to the Jianghu martial arts together!"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other and fell into silence for a while.

"Zhao has one more thing to discuss with you." Suddenly, Zhao Wei interrupted the worries of the four people, and continued: "Although the martial arts world is prosperous and prosperous, there are always hidden problems, the dragons have no leaders, and there is chaos. Because the four factions enjoy status in the Jianghu and are highly respected, Zhao suggested that we might as well elect a martial arts leader from among the four factions to lead everyone and accomplish our great cause of martial arts together!"

After Zhao Wei finished speaking, he saw that the heads of the four sects sitting in the hall had different reactions.Ling Tiannan smiled lightly and said nothing, while Dugu City lowered his eyes in deep thought, while Leng Yihan and Master Ci'en looked surprised and their eyes were full of doubts.

Seeing that the others were silent, Ling Tiannan stood up and spoke first: "Aolongbao enjoys a good reputation, and the owner of Fort Zhao is well-known for his modesty. If Aolongbao can form an alliance with our four factions, I believe that whether it is right or wrong My four sects, or the entire Jianghu martial arts world, are undoubtedly beneficial and harmless."

"Thank you, Master Ling, for your appreciation." Zhao Wei glanced at Ling Tiannan lightly, and then looked at the three people who were still silent at the moment.

Leng Yihan, Master Ci'en heard that Ling Tiannan's intention was completely different from when everyone was discussing it, and couldn't help but feel even more confused.

At this time, I saw them both looking at Dugu City who was sitting beside him, waiting for his next reply.

Sensing the curious eyes cast on him by others, Dugu City slowly raised his head.He first looked at Leng Yihan, Master Ci'en, Ling Tiannan, and then fixed his eyes on Zhao Wei.After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said: "For the joining of Aolongbao, I have no objection..."

Hearing this, Leng Yihan and Master Ci'en were startled.They looked back and forth between Dugu City and Ling Tiannan, their faces were solemn, and their eyes were filled with turmoil.

What exactly is going on?

Leng Yihan looked at Master Ci'en, hoping that he could give him an answer.Unexpectedly, Master Ci'en happened to be looking back at him, with a questioning look in his eyes.

The two looked at each other in amazement.

a long time.

"Amitabha." Master Ci'en chanted a Buddha's name loudly, stood up, and said slowly: "Since the Lord Zhao has the wish to contribute to the Jianghu martial arts with us, how can I fulfill the great wish of the Lord Zhao? Comrade Wulin, thank Fortress Zhao in advance."

"Thank you, Master." Zhao Wei walked up to Master Ci'en and saluted respectfully.

Among the four factions, three factions have already agreed.Zhao Wei then turned his head to look at Leng Yihan, with an indescribable smile in his eyes, "Master Leng, what else do you have to say?"

Leng Yihan's eyes swept across the other three, knowing in his heart that the overall situation had been settled.She stood up slowly, paused for a moment, and said calmly: "Rong Xuegong, I have no objection."

Her face was as cold as ice, and her voice was bone-chillingly cold.Those beautiful eyes were vaguely deep, and they couldn't help giving people a strong sense of oppression, as if they wanted to see through Zhao Wei's whole being.

"Haha, thank you all the masters, Zhao Wei will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!" Zhao Wei skipped Leng Yihan's meaningful gaze, shifted his gaze, and looked at other people.

After speaking, he saw that he gave an order, and immediately ordered people to get the wine.

"Everyone!" Zhao Wei raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Now we have an alliance of five factions. In order to express our respect to each faction, please allow me to toast everyone first!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wei drained the wine in the cup.

Seeing this, everyone from the four sects drank a glass of wine.

"Brother Zhao." Ling Tiannan put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "From now on, we can be considered a family!"

"That's right! If Zhao Wei has shortcomings in the future, I hope you can point them out and forgive me!" Zhao Wei smiled slightly.

"Brother, you're being polite." Ling Tiannan stood up, looked around the crowd, and said, "Brother Zhao suggested setting up a martial arts leader before, and I think this idea is very good!"

When Dugu City heard the words, a trace of disdain could not help but flash across his eyes.He then stood up and said to Ling Tiannan: "Listening to what Brother Ling is implying, does Brother Ling intend to be the leader of the alliance?"

Ling Tiannan was stunned, then laughed dryly a few times, and said, "How...how could it be? Brother Dugu was joking."

"Haha, Brother Ling, you don't have to be nervous." Dugu City patted Ling Tiannan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Actually, I, Dugu City, also agree to set up a martial arts leader. However, because the position of leader is too important, it is really necessary to choose carefully That's right!"

After a pause, Dugucheng stared into Ling Tiannan's eyes, and then said: "If that person with no talent and no morals is fooled, wouldn't it be my misfortune in the world of martial arts?"

"You...!" Ling Tiannan's face immediately sank, and there was a little anger in his eyes.

The two stared closely at each other's eyes, waiting for a touch to explode.

Zhao Wei looked at the two who were facing each other with a smile.After a while, he was seen walking beside Master Ci En, and asked in a low voice: "Master, what do you think?"

"Amitabha." Hearing Master Ci'en's deep Buddha's name immediately broke the silent spark between Dugu City and Ling Tiannan.

When the two heard the sound, they both took a step back in embarrassment, turned their heads and remained silent.

"Master." Zhao Wei called out.

"Since it is something that is beneficial to the martial arts, the old monk has always agreed with it. However, this matter is so important that we cannot decide it alone. Why not choose a day and invite everyone in the martial arts world to elect the leader of the martial arts together. In this way, it will not be unfair ah!"

"Hmph, what Master Ci'en said is very true. We might as well choose a day, and let everyone decide the leader of the martial arts. Those who are talented will live there, and there will be no complaints or words!" Ling Tiannan glanced at Dugu City, his eyes were full of resentment.

After receiving Ling Tiannan's invisible letter of challenge, Dugu Cheng just smiled lightly and said, "I also agree with Master Ci'en's opinion, let's make it so."

"I was born in Buddhism, and I'm already old, so I don't want to be the leader of the alliance. I only hope that there will be a sage living there. This is my great fortune in martial arts!"

"Master Ci'en, you..." Seeing Ci'en voluntarily withdrawing, although Ling Tiannan was overjoyed, there was still a look of pity on his face.

Reading the joy in Ling Tiannan's eyes, Dugu Cheng's eyes were full of disdain, and he couldn't help but secretly spit at him in his heart.

"Then let's settle this matter like this. Mr. Zhao, who is not talented, took the initiative to ask Ying to host this election event. I don't know what everyone thinks?" Zhao Wei glanced at the four of them while talking.

However, when his gaze met Leng Yihan, he paused obviously.

Leng Yihan looked back at Zhao Wei indifferently, pursed his lips, and secretly accepted Zhao Wei's silent provocation.

"Since Castle Master Zhao is willing to take charge of this matter, it would be great." Dugu City nodded.

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, Zhao Wei smiled even more: "Thank you everyone! Zhao Wei will live up to his trust and do his best to get this matter done!"

"..."

"..."

The next day, rumors of the successful alliance between Aolongbao, Qianqingmen, Lingjian Villa, Tianfo Temple and Rongxue Palace, and the election of the leader of the martial arts in Lingjian Villa half a year later spread across the rivers and lakes.Immediately, the entire martial arts world was in turmoil, causing an uproar...
