The spring light is bright, and the mountains in Xichuan are covered with a layer of green. The mountains and fields are covered with green trees, and the spring atmosphere is full of them.
After setting off from Chengdu, the group headed west without stopping. In addition to Xuanyuan Po and Ximen Zhanying, the last group of Shenhou Mansion was accompanied by four other officials from Shenhou Mansion.
Although Qi Ning knew that there were seven captains of the Big Dipper in Shenhou Mansion, he did not know how many personnel there were.
However, Qining understands one thing. In order to make many sects in the world bow to their orders, in addition to having the imperial court as its backer and Ximen Wuhen's reputation, the Shenhou Mansion itself also possesses extremely powerful strength.
If the Shenhou Mansion wants to control the major gangs in the Jianghu, it must have countless eyes and ears distributed in every corner of the Jianghu, so that it can have a thorough understanding of Jianghu affairs.
As we headed west, the closer we got to the west, the fewer and fewer people there were, and sometimes we couldn't even see a single village for a long time.
Located on the border, the environment is harsh and the mountains and rivers are barren, making it unsuitable for living. Except for some black Miao people living here, there are actually very few Han villages.
He was getting closer and closer to Qianwu Peak. As he was walking that day, he suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing and shouting faintly from the northwest. Xuanyuan Po slowed down his horse, turned his horse's head to the northwest, and bypassed a When we were on a hillside, we saw a group of people fighting with each other in front of us, at least twenty or thirty people.
On both sides of the fight, there were seventeen or eight people on one side, all wearing gray clothes. On the other side, there were slightly fewer people, about ten people, but they were all wearing purple clothes. Although the number of people in purple clothes was small, they were not inferior. There were two corpses lying on the ground, both dressed in gray. The two sides were fighting fiercely. Xuanyuan Po and his party came galloping over, but neither side seemed to have noticed, and they were still fighting to the death.
Qi Ning frowned slightly when he saw the clothes of the purple-clothed people, feeling vaguely familiar with them.
Suddenly I heard Xuanyuan Po say in a deep voice: "Xuanyuan Po of the Divine Marquis Mansion is here, everyone stop!"
Although his voice was not very loud, it was full of energy, with a low tone of calmness and authority. It came from afar. When both sides of the fierce battle heard "Shenhou Mansion", several people immediately retreated from the battle group. Others seemed to be indifferent. Reluctantly, they all stopped fighting.
Xuanyuan Po shook the reins of his horse and slowly approached, followed by Qi Ning and others.
This time, Qi Ning came here under the guise of an official of the Shenhou Mansion, and he put on the clothes of the Shenhou Mansion. He was inconspicuous and did not leak. Unless they were familiar with each other, no one would be able to tell that he was Jinyi. Wait.
A few steps away, Xuanyuan Po reined in his horse with an indifferent expression. He glanced around and saw only one person from the purple clothed man and the gray clothed man coming forward, and they all raised their hands to Xuanyuan Po.
Xuanyuan Po looked at the man in gray clothes. He was in his early fifties and had a slender figure. There was an eagle embroidered on the chest of his clothes, and asked, "Are you from Sky Eagle Castle?"
The man in gray immediately said: "Mo Tianying, the master of Tianying Castle, has met Colonel Xuanyuan!"
Xuanyuan Po ignored him and turned to look at the man in purple clothes. He was also in his early fifties. He had a hooked nose and small eyes. His appearance looked quite gloomy. He asked, "Are you from the Five Poison Palace?"
When Qi Ning heard this from behind, his heart trembled.
Only then did he understand why he felt familiar when he saw these purple-clothed people, but they turned out to be people from the Five Poison Palace.
In order to rescue Xiaodie, Qi Ning set out from Huize City and chased all the way. On the way, he encountered people from the Five Poison Palace chasing Mu Shenjun, one of the five great lords of the Jiutian Tower. Later, he learned that Mu Shenjun had come from the Five Poison Palace. Palace had stolen the [Liuhe Divine Art], and the people from the Five Poison Palace who were chasing Lord Namu that day were all dressed in purple.
Qining couldn't help but look at the purple-clothed old man's forehead. There was indeed a spider tattoo between his eyebrows.
The purple-clothed old man's voice was hoarse, and he cupped his hands and said, "Sikong Tu, the elder of the Five Poison Palace, has met Colonel Xuanyuan."
"So you are not Ouyang Quan!" Xuanyuan Po said calmly.
The old man in purple clothes, Sikong Tu, immediately said: "The palace master is ill and has difficulty traveling. I will bring people here to wait for the dispatch of the Shenhou Mansion."
"Sikong Tu, Mo Tianying, your sphere of influence is not in Xichuan. You came here this time to obey the orders of the Iron Blood Script." Xuanyuan Po did not dismount, looking down at the two of them, "When the Iron Blood Script was promulgated, the Shenhou The government has made it very clear that when entering Xichuan, everything must be obeyed by the Shenhou Mansion, and no gang is allowed to fight privately, I think you all should see this."
Sikong Tu cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Colonel Xuanyuan, Wudu Palace did not dare to disobey the orders of the Shenhou Mansion. After entering Xichuan, apart from being ordered to help the Shenhou Mansion attack Qianwu Peak, it never thought of fighting with anyone." He glanced at it. Mo Tianying glanced at him, his eyes as cold as a knife, "But Tianying Fort did not obey the order. We rushed to Qianwu Peak and passed by here. They actually set up an ambush here and attacked suddenly. We can only stand up and resist. Please also ask Xuanyuan Colonel Mingcha!"
Qi Ning saw in his eyes that although the people from the Five Poison Palace and Tianying Castle seemed to be unruly, in front of Xuanyuan Po, they obviously suppressed their temper and behaved quite humbly.
As soon as Sikong Tu finished speaking, Mo Tianying immediately said: "Captain Xuanyuan, my son accidentally offended the people of the Five Poison Palace half a year ago. I sent someone to send a generous gift to apologize, but they accepted the gift, but... He still killed my son, and I have to avenge such a blood feud."
Sikong Tu sneered and said: "Your son was killed by our Five Poison Palace. Is there any evidence? If there is evidence, you can go to the Shenhou Mansion to resolve the matter. Why do you want to ambush and attack here?"
"You Five Poison Palace are sinister and despicable. Although I don't have conclusive evidence in hand, I dare to guarantee with my life that the murderer is your Five Poison Palace." Mo Tianying's eyes were split, and there were more than a dozen disciples of Tianying Castle behind him. The disciples were also filled with indignation.
Xuanyuan Po swept away the two corpses on the ground and asked, "Who killed these two people? The murderer must stand up for himself."
Sikong Tu frowned slightly, and the group of people in purple looked at each other, and finally two people came forward.
Xuanyuan Po said calmly: "Those who disobey the commandments will be punished by death. If you commit suicide, I will give you a chance. Otherwise, I, the Divine Marquis Mansion, will execute you!"
Sikong Tu was about to argue when Xuanyuan Po said: "Sikong Tu, you are the elder. If the murderer does not die, you will be the only one who will die."
Sikong Tu was startled for a moment, frowned and said: "Captain Xuanyuan, they were the ones who took action first, we were just self-defense. Moreover, we settled the matter privately, and no one else was involved. Could it be that...!"
"If you don't die, Ouyang Quan will die." Xuanyuan Po did not explain at all: "I have no time to delay here."
Sikong Tu's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything in the end.
All the people in purple looked at each other, the two murderers were pale, but everyone in Tianying Castle looked happy.
Sikong Tu closed his eyes and did not look back. He just said lightly: "Colonel Xuanyuan has an order. What are you two waiting for?"
The two men in purple gripped the knives in their hands. They were not afraid of fighting with others, but they couldn't muster the courage to commit suicide at this moment.
Xuanyuan Po raised his hand and waved lightly. The bodies of the two Shenhou Mansion officials behind him rose up, with their feet on the horse's back. They flew straight past like two eagles. In mid-air, their swords were unsheathed, and the swords were shining. In a flash, blood spurted out, and the throats of the two Five Poison Palace disciples had been cut.
These two officials from the Shenhou Mansion were quick, precise, and ruthless in their attacks.
Xuanyuan Po turned to look at Mo Tianying and said calmly: "Five Poison Palace disobeyed the command and has been punished. Mo Tianying, this matter happened because of you, you should know what to do."
Everyone behind Mo Tianying was shocked. On the contrary, Mo Tianying had expected it and didn't say much. He raised the knife, stretched out his left arm, and without saying a word, slashed with the knife, blood sprayed out, and an arm Having already flown out, Ximen Zhanying let out a soft "Ah" and turned his head.
"Fort Master...!" Everyone behind him exclaimed, and someone had already rushed forward.
The knife in Mo Tianying's hand fell to the ground, his face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and covered the wound with his hands. The disciples behind him rushed forward and immediately supported him. Someone had already taken the medicine to stop Mo Tianying's bleeding. .
Qi Ning was also slightly surprised.
He had had many contacts with the Shenhou Mansion before, and he knew the position of the Shenhou Mansion in the world, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he truly realized the prestige of the Shenhou Mansion in the world. No explanation was given, and the two disciples of the Five Poison Palace were killed on the spot, and the Lord of the Sky Eagle Castle even cut off his arm.
Xuanyuan Po looked calm and then said: "The feud between the Five Poison Palace and Tianying Castle will be investigated in detail by the Shenhou Mansion after the incident in Xichuan, but from now on, if any of the two factions takes action first, I can guarantee that , the result is to be removed from the world forever!" Zabu was nagging, turned the horse's head, shook the reins, and galloped away.
After running for a while, everyone slowed down slightly. Ximen Zhanying finally couldn't help but said: "Elder brother, they... are they that afraid of you?"
Xuanyuan Po said calmly: "It's not that they are afraid of me, and I don't need them to be afraid. I just want them to abide by the rules. Little Junior Sister, maybe the Divine Marquis has not told you that after the Divine Marquis Mansion was established, in order to maintain order in the world, in order to frighten these gangs People also paid a heavy price. Countless people were killed and injured in the Shenhou Mansion. Nowadays, every rule set by the Shenhou Mansion is written with the blood of many people. Therefore, no one can violate the rules of the Shenhou Mansion. , they must pay the price they should pay, and we, the people, exist to maintain these rules."
Ximen Zhanying nodded solemnly.
"If today's incident is not dealt with strictly, it will soon spread." Xuanyuan Po said: "From now on, once the major gangs in the world have grudges, they will resolve them privately. Once they spread, The rivers and lakes are in chaos. Over the years, of course there have been some private feuds and feuds in the rivers and lakes that are unknown to us, but as long as they are known to us, we will never let them go."
Ximen Zhanying frowned and said: "Senior Brother, they know that once this matter is spread, the Shenhou Mansion will not let it go lightly, why do they dare to violate the commandments?"
Xuanyuan Po said: "Maybe they think they won't be known, maybe... so many years of peace in the world have made them bolder and bolder." He raised his head slightly, as if he was talking to Ximen Zhanying, but also seemed to He said to himself: "Many people are indeed getting bolder and bolder."
Ximen Zhanying vaguely felt that there was a deep meaning in Xuanyuan Po's words, but for the moment he couldn't understand it. He couldn't help but glance at Qining, but saw that Qining looked thoughtful, and she didn't know what he was. What are you thinking.
