Xuanyuan Po did not hesitate and asked directly: "Master Zhuge, if you, the Golden Sword Alliance, have any requests, just say it."
Zhuge Changting smiled slightly, stood up, quickly took a map, spread it on the table, held a piece of Zhuhao in his hand, circled two places on the map, and then handed the Zhuhao to the person next to him, All four people circled the map one after another.
Qi Ning was a little confused, wondering what these people were up to.
Xuanyuan Po stood up, bent slightly and took a glance, frowned, and said, "Does Master Zhuge have a bigger appetite?"
Zhuge Changting smiled and said: "Captain Xuanyuan, you and I know very well that Qianwu Ridge is extraordinary. Not only is the martial arts of the leader of the Black Lotus unfathomable, but the two great protectors and the four holy envoys under his command are also not ordinary people. In addition, Qianwu The dangerous terrain of the ridge can be regarded as a natural danger." After a pause, he said softly: "When the time comes, we really have to attack the Black Lotus Sect's main altar. If my estimate is correct, I won't lose hundreds of lives here. , I’m afraid it can’t be done.”
Xuanyuan Po didn't speak, but his expression was calm.
"Since the Golden Sword Alliance is one of the main forces responsible for the attack this time, we, the Golden Sword Alliance, will inevitably put in a lot of effort." Zhuge Changting's expression also became serious: "This time, the Golden Sword Alliance will use all their elites, and I will bring four There are more than a dozen good players, any one of these people will be a well-known figure in the world, but if the time comes, it will be good to be able to keep half of them."
The man who bowed his head also nodded slightly, with a solemn expression: "Captain Xuanyuan, there are more than thirty people from our Jiaoyang Pavilion, all of them are the most elite players. I told them that this time there is a large number of people, Black Lotus The teachings are vulnerable, but if there are twenty people left, we will be lucky."
Xuanyuan Po smiled lightly and said, "It seems that you are still not confident in your own strength."
"This is not a matter of self-confidence or lack of confidence." Zhuge Changting said: "As the Lord of the Dragon Pavilion said, although the Black Lotus Sect does not move around in the world, we have a strong idea of what their strength is. They occupy the right time and place. , and the area near Qianwu Peak is where the Miao people live, which can be said to possess people and people. None of the three is beneficial to us. If we can easily capture the Black Lotus Sect, Colonel Xuanyuan will not be able to do so. You will believe it."
Qi Ning had already heard the smell at this time.
It seems that although the Eight Gangs and the Sixteenth Society abided by the Iron Blood Code, they were fully mentally prepared to attack the Black Lotus Sect. Although the gangs in the Jianghu did not dare to disobey the orders of the Shenhou Mansion, they did not obey unconditionally.
At this time, he probably saw clearly the circles Zhuge Changting drew on the map. Those two circles had already involved the Jingnan area.
He had heard before that the power of the Golden Sword Alliance was mainly in the Jingbei area. The territory drawn on this map has penetrated into the Jingnan territory. It is obvious that it wants to ask for the Jingnan territory from the Shenhou Mansion.
Before Ximen Wuhen of the Shenhou Mansion signed the iron-blooded document with the major gangs in the rivers and lakes, the gangs in the rivers and lakes were a mixed bag, fighting each other for territory, and the rivers and lakes were bloody and chaotic.
However, after the Iron Blood Treaty was signed, the Jianghu structure gradually stabilized, and the Jianghu forces in Chu State, headed by the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions, also divided their spheres of influence.
This attack on the Black Lotus is the biggest action in the world since the signing of the Iron Blood Treatise. It is of course an opportunity to re-divide the territory for many forces in the world that are growing but unable to expand.
Xuanyuan Po did not speak easily and seemed to be deep in thought.
Zhuge Changting sighed and said: "Colonel Xuanyuan, it's not me, Zhuge Changting, who has any idea. Captain Xuanyuan knows how many people there are in the Golden Sword Alliance. These people have families and children, and they all have to support themselves. I, the Golden Sword Alliance, Where we are now, the annual income is not high, and it is only enough to feed and clothe everyone. Once many brothers are killed in the war this time, they will inevitably have to pay for funerals and resettlement. This is a huge expense. If they cannot be comforted, trouble will definitely arise. Come."
The Lord of the Dragon Pavilion also nodded slightly, nodded and said: "What Lord Zhuge said is absolutely true. Colonel Xuanyuan, over the years, we have always followed the agreement of the Shenhou Mansion and have not extended our hands outside the sphere of influence. If this time it is something else We don’t have these requirements, but this attack on the Black Lotus will obviously involve a lot of losses, and we also consider it for the sake of our brothers."
Xuanyuan Po smiled lightly and said: "Master Zhuge, the chassis you requested includes the strength of the two major gangs, Mantis Sect and Xuejiabao. How to arrange them?"
"Captain Xuanyuan, with all due respect, the total number of people from these two factions who came to help us is only a dozen or so." Zhuge Changting smiled faintly, with a look of disdain in his eyes: "These two factions have already withered away. , back then, they would have been eliminated from the world a long time ago. If these two factions really contributed to the attack on the Black Lotus Sect, they would most likely die here, and the two factions would become extinct. If they could survive, it would mean They have made no contribution at all, and since they have made no contribution, why should we keep them?"
The Lord of Long Pavilion also sighed and said: "In recent years, some gangs have occupied the territory to make ends meet, and the escorts don't take them seriously at all. Many escort agencies are much stronger than them. There is no such sect. To earn a decent profit, you can only cheat and deceive people like ruffians and lose the face of the people in the world. Colonel Xuanyuan, just like what I asked for this time, the forces of Jiuhutang are among them, but Jiuhutang is no longer the Jiuhutang it used to be. Tiger Hall, the entire Jiuhu Hall only has a dozen people in total. Not only can they not suppress the local gangsters, they even make a living by cheating and abducting themselves. It is a chaotic mess. If we, Jiaoyang Pavilion, can enter, it will definitely bring peace to the local area. nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a chuckle.
Several people immediately looked over and saw Qining, who had been sitting silently by the side, suddenly burst into laughter.
Naturally, they did not know that Qin Ning was the Marquis of the Empire. They only thought that he was an official of the Shenhou Mansion. Although the Master of the Dragon Pavilion was not ready to fall out, he still frowned and said, "I wonder what you are laughing at?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "It's nothing. If you say what you want, just treat me as if I'm not here."
"Little brother, you are from the Shenhou Mansion, and we respect you." Zhuge Changting said calmly: "But if you feel that what we say is unreasonable, you can say it. Since you are speaking openly, some words will be understood more clearly. good."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "I'm just curious, the weak must be devoured? Do you mean that those poor people are unable to survive. Once a disaster strikes, they lose much value, and the court should get rid of them directly?"
Except for Xuanyuan Po, who was very calm, everyone else changed their colors slightly.
"Is what you said going too far?" Master Long Pavilion obviously didn't have a very good temper and sneered: "This is not what you said."
"Then I made the wrong analogy." Qi Ning smiled and said: "I am a straightforward person and I don't like to mince words. Now in our territory of Da Chu, the eight gangs and sixteen factions are the most powerful. Since the signing of the Iron Blood Script , for more than 20 years, everyone has their own fixed sphere of influence, and has never allowed private fights in the world. It is precisely because of this that the eight gangs and sixteen factions that gained the largest territory in the past were able to recuperate and have the power they now have in the world. Make a distinguished statement." He rolled his eyes, leaned on the chair, crossed his hands across his chest, and asked with a smile: "The heroes here are all the leaders of the eight gangs and sixteen factions. I venture to ask, if it wasn't The Shenhou Mansion has divided its spheres of influence and strictly prohibits private fighting in order to maintain peace in the world. I wonder how many of the eight gangs and sixteen factions can survive now?"
Several people's expressions were even more ugly.
"At night, I suddenly heard of Jian Jingke, and I wanted to see Xingyun singing a majestic song. I chanted with my heart filled with grievances and hatred, and there are not many Jianghu heroes left." Qining sighed softly: "The situation in the Jianghu is changing. As far as I know, many Jianghu gangs were dominant for a while. The scenery in the Jianghu is endless, but often the scenery disappears within a few years, and there is not much happening in the Jianghu." His expression was calm, his eyes swept over, and he said lightly: "Without the iron-blooded writings of Shenhou Mansion back then, would the four of you here be able to do it today? Sitting here, it’s still an unknown number.”
The Master of the Dragon Pavilion and another person suddenly stood up, while Zhuge Changting sat calmly as before, and Xuanyuan Po remained calm and calm.
There was already a hint of anger in the eyes of the Lord of the Dragon Pavilion, but Qin Ning was wearing the clothes of the Shenhou Mansion, which still made him very afraid. He suppressed his anger and said: "The Shenhou Mansion has indeed brought peace to the world for many years, and also divided the sphere of influence. , but over the years, the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions have not lost a penny less than the Shenhou Mansion."
Qi Ning secretly thought that these Jianghu forces still had to pay money to the Shenhou Mansion, presumably it was also a kind of tax. He smiled lightly and said: "Master Long Pavilion, don't worry, I'm just telling the truth. Why, are you going to fight with me?" Is the Shenhou Mansion settling accounts?"
The Dragon Pavilion Master was startled, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "I... I didn't mean that."
"That's not what I meant." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I'm just telling you that everything you have now is given by the Shenhou Mansion. What the Shenhou Mansion can give you can of course take it back at any time. The imperial court Establishing the Shenhou Mansion and letting the Shenhou Mansion deal with Jianghu affairs by Jianghu means respects the rules of the world. In fact... you have no room for bargaining with the Shenhou Mansion."
Zhuge Changting still remained calm and said with a smile: "So, the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects are ordered to attack the Black Lotus this time. No matter how many people die, it is our own business?"
"It seems too hasty to start calculating these accounts before the fight." Qi Ning said lightly: "How many people died and how to arrange them, the Shenhou Mansion will naturally give an explanation to the Jianghu colleagues. I said, the Shenhou Mansion You can keep what I want to give you, but don’t worry about what I don’t want to give you.”
Zhuge Changting turned to Xuanyuan Po and asked, "Xuanyuan Colonel, what do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Po smiled slightly and said: "What he said makes sense. This attack on the Black Lotus Sect will naturally be rewarded based on merit. The greater the merit, the greater the reward will naturally be. At that time, even small businesses such as Cockroach Sect and Xue Family Fort will If a small sect makes a great contribution, the Shenhou Mansion will also give a large reward." He glanced sharply and said, "If the eight gangs and sixteen sects fail to make contributions in this battle and cannot show their strength, I think the Shenhou will also be rewarded. More consideration.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of ** coming from outside, and soon he heard a voice coming from outside: "Elder brother, the Five Elements Sect... the people from the Five Elements Sect are back!"
