While the few people were talking, they had already arrived under the banner of the Golden Sword Alliance. From the tent, several people had already come out. When they saw Xuanyuan Po, they immediately came to greet him.
Qi Ning saw that the man in front of him was nearly fifty years old. He was thin, wearing a brown shirt, and had a long beard. He seemed to have an air of elegance while being brave.
Beside this person, there were two middle-aged men dressed as officials from the Shenhou Mansion. They quickly walked up to him and said, "Elder brother!" Seeing Ximen Zhanying, they also smiled and said, "Junior sister is here too. "
Xuanyuan Po just nodded slightly, but Ximen Zhanying already smiled and said: "Senior Brother Lan, Senior Brother Ding!"
Qi Ning knew that although Shenhou Mansion was a court government office, its style of work was imitated by Jianghu, and the officials in Shenhou Mansion all referred to each other as brothers and sisters.
Big Dipper is the direct disciple of Ximen Shenhou, and he plays a core position in Shenhou Mansion, so these seven people are called by their sequence. Apart from these seven people, other officials in Shenhou Mansion are called by the last character of their names.
Senior Brother Lan and Senior Brother Ding were naturally the officials sent to Xichuan by the Shenhou Mansion earlier.
"Captain Xuanyuan, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The middle-aged man in a brown shirt with a long beard smiled and said, "Everyone is gearing up and waiting for you."
"I've kept you waiting for a long time." Facing the leaders of the eight gangs and sixteen factions, Xuanyuan Po sounded a little more polite. He raised his hand and said with a smile, "Let's go in and talk."
When everyone returned to the tent, Qining saw a huge long table placed in the middle of the tent. There were more than a dozen chairs on both sides of the long table. Lampposts were placed around it and lights were lit. It was very bright inside. , The tent looked quite small from the outside, but once inside, Qining felt that it was spacious, and it would definitely not be a problem to accommodate thirty or fifty people.
According to his identity, Qi Ning should of course sit in the middle of the table, but Qin Ning concealed his identity and Xuanyuan Po sat in the middle of the table. Everyone in the Shenhou Mansion sat on the left side of the long table, and the others sat on the right. The man with a long beard and brown shirt was sitting first on the right. He had an unusual status. Qin Ning knew in his heart that this man should be Zhuge Changting of the Golden Sword Alliance.
Sure enough, Xuanyuan Po said to the man in brown shirt: "Master Zhuge, there are a few friends here who are not very familiar to me. Please introduce them to them."
Although everyone within the Golden Sword Alliance calls Zhuge Changting the leader of the alliance, in the eyes of the Shenhou Mansion, they still only regard the Golden Sword Alliance as a sect, so Xuanyuan Po still calls him the sect leader.
Zhuge Changting immediately introduced them one by one. Qining knew in his heart that Xuanyuan Po did this not because he really didn't know these people. He probably used this method to let himself know these people.
In addition to Zhuge Changting, there are nine other people, four of whom are in the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects. Although the other sects are not included in the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects, they are all quite powerful in the world. sect.
If you ignore some small gangs and factions, they are naturally not qualified to enter the account to discuss matters.
The Shenhou Mansion has been in charge of the Jianghu for many years and has compromised with all forces in the Jianghu. In fact, it has formed a rather strict hierarchy in the Jianghu.
After the introduction, Xuanyuan Po looked at Senior Brother Lan and asked, "Junior Brother Lan, what is the situation now? Have you figured out the terrain of Qianwu Ridge?"
Junior Brother Nalan stood up and said, "Reporting to Senior Brother, the Master of the Five Elements Sect and his thirteen disciples set out to sneak into Thousand Mist Peak last night. There is no news yet. We are all waiting for the news." He said to someone beside him. With a wink, the man immediately got up and went over to bring a picture and spread it on the table. Everyone present stood up. Junior Brother Lan took a small stick and explained: "Senior Brother, this is what we found out A map of the terrain around Qianwu Peak. The radius of Qianwu Peak is about forty or fifty miles. Our current camp is located directly east of Qianwu Peak. According to the previous deployment, the Golden Sword Alliance is the main force in the east, and various gangs cooperate with each other from the east. Attack."
"How many people are there?" Xuanyuan Po asked.
Junior Brother Lan said: "Almost all the major gangs in the world have sent people here, and the eight gangs and sixteen factions are also in their respective positions according to the original deployment. There are currently more than 2,700 people in total. To the east are the Golden Sword Alliance and those present here. The nine sects are the main force, plus other gangs, there are more than 800 people in total."
Xuanyuan Po nodded slightly, and Junior Brother Lan pointed at the small wooden branch in his hand to the north of Qianwu Peak, saying: "To the north, Fengjian Villa, Hunyuan Temple and Iron Bone Sect sects are the main force, and half of them are local gangs in Xichuan. This exploration In the terrain around Qianwu Peak, these Jianghu comrades have contributed a lot. They have gathered seven or eight hundred people there, and Sixth Brother is sitting there." Xiao Muzhi turned to the south: "The south is dominated by the Beggars Gang and Lingjiu Fang. , there are more than 800 people, and the third senior brother is sitting there."
Xuanyuan Po stared at the map and asked, "What does the west of Qianwu Peak mean?"
"Senior Brother, this is a lake." Junior Brother Lan explained: "Qianwu Peak is adjacent to Shura Lake to the west. Shura Lake is very large and is not suitable for attacking Qianwu Peak. Moreover, there are cliffs to the west of Qianwu Peak. It is impossible to climb up, but for safety reasons, in order to prevent the Black Lotus cult members from escaping from the west, they arranged for the Yangtze Gang and the Black Whale Society and other brothers who are good at water warfare to be responsible for guarding the west. They have begun to use local materials to make wooden boats , patrolling Shura Lake, locking Shura Lake when the time comes, and not letting any Black Lotus disciples escape."
Qi Ning just looked at the map without saying a word, but he was thinking in his heart that this time the Shenhou Mansion was going to attack Qianwu Peak, so he was fully prepared.
Xuanyuan Po turned to Zhuge Changting and asked, "Master Zhuge, are you ready?"
Zhuge Changting stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Captain Xuanyuan, don't worry. The Black Lotus Sect has caused harm to the world, and both humans and gods are angry. This time we obey the call of the gods and gather here. We will definitely wipe out the Black Lotus Sect and make these scum of the world complete." Removed from the arena. Everyone is now waiting for Colonel Xuanyuan to come and give orders. As long as you give the order, we will naturally fight to be the first."
Xuanyuan Po smiled and said: "That's very good. All of you here are either the sect leaders or the leaders of a gang, and they are all people with status in the world. I won't give it away. Everyone knows that the Black Lotus Sect is so crazy that they are actually in the capital. He poisoned people, and countless innocent people in the capital suffered tragic deaths. The imperial court was furious, and the god was furious." His expression became serious, "The god has always been kind and generous to his fellow martial artists. Each sect in the martial arts has its own sects. Special skills are something passed down from our ancestors. As long as they can be passed down, it will be great. But scum like the Black Lotus Sect cannot be tolerated in the world."
"Yes, such scum must be removed from the world!"
"Harming people is against the right principles of the world, and such evil ways will never be allowed to exist."
"Colonel Xuanyuan and the martial arts colleagues all know that the Black Lotus Sect is causing trouble in the capital. Everyone feels that it is unscrupulous, so they all want to get rid of it."
Everyone agreed.
Xuanyuan Po said with a smile: "The imperial court originally wanted to send troops to encircle and suppress, but considering that the Black Lotus Sect is also a martial arts sect, it still asked the gods to handle the matter according to the martial arts rules. However, the emperor had a decree. This time, no matter which sect or sect, as long as Those who have made great contributions must be rewarded lavishly, and we will never let everyone’s hard work go in vain.”
Zhuge Changting stroked his beard and said: "Captain Xuanyuan, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. This time, the eight gangs and sixteen factions and many comrades from the Jianghu gathered here to support justice. With their large numbers and strong strength, It is also rare in the world for a hundred years." After a pause, he said: "But as far as I know, although the Black Lotus Sect has been established for decades, its reputation in the world is not very big. Although everyone has vaguely heard of it, The martial arts of the leader of the Black Lotus are unfathomable, but other than that, everyone’s knowledge of the Black Lotus is very limited...!" He glanced at the people below him and saw that everyone nodded slightly, and then continued: "I don’t know. Does the Shenhou Mansion know anything about the Black Lotus Sect? How many members of the Black Lotus Sect are there on Qianwu Peak?"
Xuanyuan Po said: "As far as we know, there will never be more than two hundred members of the Black Lotus Sect."
Qi Ning frowned slightly. He had asked Xuanyuan Po before how strong the Black Lotus Sect was, but Xuanyuan Po obviously knew very little about Qianwu Peak. He couldn't even tell clearly how many people there were, but At this moment, it is quite certain that there are only two hundred people, which is quite strange.
Qi Ning's mind changed and he immediately understood that Xuanyuan Po would never dare to deceive him, so he could only deceive these gangs.
Hearing what Xuanyuan Po said, everyone's brows widened, and someone immediately laughed and said, "A mere two hundred evil clowns are simply vulnerable."
Xuanyuan Po said: "Although we are ten times stronger than our opponent, we must not underestimate the enemy. The Black Lotus Sect is mainly composed of Miao people, who are good at poisoning. Moreover, they have a geographical advantage and know the terrain of Qianwu Peak well, so it is inevitable that they will be here. There are traps set up in the mountains, so everyone must be careful when attacking." After a pause, he said: "According to what our Shenhou Mansion knows, the Black Lotus leader's martial arts are indeed excellent, and he also has two great protectors, Xuanyang and Taiyin, under his command. In addition, there are the Four Holy Envoys, and the martial arts of these people are also considered outstanding."
One person sneered and said: "Captain Xuanyuan, even if this group of people is somewhat capable, but this time there are eight gangs and sixteen factions and many comrades from the Jianghu. They are all elites and masters. Unless they hide underground, Otherwise, as long as they are seen by us, they will definitely be killed."
Xuanyuan Po nodded and said with a smile: "This is true. There are so many masters this time. It is not difficult to level Qianwu Peak." He added: "You all go to rest first. Master Zhuge and I are waiting for a few seconds." Let’s discuss the specific attack tactics in detail and talk to everyone in detail later.” Then he said to Ximen Zhanying and other officials in the Shenhou Mansion: “You all should go down and rest first.” Looking at Qining, he said: “ You stay first."
Everyone did not dare to disobey and went out one after another. Soon, apart from Xuanyuan Po and Qi Ning, only Zhuge Changting and three other gang leaders were left in the tent. Including Zhuge Changting, the four remaining people were all Characters from eight gangs and sixteen factions.
After everyone left, Zhuge Changting glanced at Xuanyuan Po and chuckled: "Captain Xuanyuan, this time eight gangs and sixteen factions have been ordered to take action. I know the god will not treat us badly. Now we are the only ones left." If you have anything to say, just say it." At this time, the other three people's eyes also flashed, and Qining could clearly see greed in the depths of these people's eyes.
