After a whole day of communicating information, messengers from all parties finally confirmed that the first joint meeting of the five tribes would be held at Haixin Pavilion in the southern part of Erhai Lake.
At noon the next day, Lei Zhentang led his men around the sea and headed straight for Haixin Pavilion.
When hundreds of tribes gathered together, everyone was watching, and he still had to use the name of "righteousness" to prevent himself from doing anything too embarrassing. Afterwards, he wanted to assassinate them, but he couldn't find anyone, and he didn't dare to send troops to attack the village. Over there, the couple practiced sword skills together for two days, and Lei Zhentang was so depressed that he didn't sleep well for two days.
But the Five Clans Council still has some room for maneuver. After all, this is a world of martial arts. Not to mention people like Dao Qingfeng who have a feud with them, people like Pan Wan and Xiang Simeng may be intimidated by force... For example, that Si Laoye must be the pillar that Xiang Simeng relies on the most. As long as they suddenly get up and kill him with a single blow, wouldn't Xiang Simeng's small clan of only a few hundred people have no choice but to submit
Maybe she can even serve me in bed... I've never met her in person before, and I didn't realize this woman is so beautiful. No wonder Lei Ao likes her... She will be my dad's from now on.
Just when they were halfway there, they saw a man standing in front of them. He was wearing a scholar's robe and a wide belt, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea. He had a dignified demeanor and ignored the oncoming troops.
Lei Zhentang's heart skipped a beat, and then Shi Wuding's voice rang out from behind him: "Brother Daozhong, why are you here?"
The man turned his head with a cold and arrogant look, he was indeed Wang Daozhong.
Wang Daozhong brushed his clothes and said calmly, "I came to see Brother Shi to reminisce about the past. I have been studying Brother Shi's sword three days ago and have gained a lot. I am here to verify it."
Shi Wuding was a little surprised. Wang Daozhong had escaped from Xizhou Town a few days ago and had disappeared. A lot of things had happened in the past two days and he hadn't been in the mood to look for him. He didn't expect that he would jump out on his own.
Didn't he know that his challenge was actually to catch him? Did he really think it was a swordfight? Or did he think he could really beat him
Is this a life-threatening act or a brainless one
Shi Wuding felt that the Wang family of Langya would not be so shallow, and he became a little cautious: "If you still want to learn from me, please arrange another time. We have other important matters right now."
Wang Daozhong... Of course it was Zhao Changhe, who snorted coldly when he heard it: "How long does it take to fight? No matter what you are going to do, let them go first, and you can catch up after we finish fighting, right? Do you think you are no match for me and will be killed by my sword, so you have to seek shelter from the Miao people and tremble behind someone else's buttocks?"
Shi Wuding's expression darkened, and he bowed to Lei Zhentang and said, "Patriarch Lei, please go ahead. I will be right back in a moment."
Lei Zhentang stared at Zhao Changhe for a long while, but said nothing. He just said, "Sir, be careful."
Shi Wuding floated out, Zhao Changhe rushed up to the surrounding mountains and forests, and Shi Wuding followed closely. Lei Zhentang frowned and took a look, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter... Isn't it too late for Wang Daozhong to appear
Over there, Shi Wuding chased Zhao Changhe into the mountains, and Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped.
Shi Wuding said coldly: "It seems that Brother Wang has made some progress in his cultivation these days. I would like to learn from him."
Zhao Changhe cupped his hands and said, "That night, Lei Ao sent someone to assassinate me. Brother Shi, did you know about this?"
Shi Wuding was stunned: "Where do they get the confidence to leave me alone and assassinate my brother?"
Zhao Changhe said: "I was their guest before and drank their tea and wine. Perhaps this planted the root of the curse, so they certainly became confident... Fortunately, my Langya Wang family has its own magic method, otherwise we would have been in trouble."
Shi Wuding frowned tightly: "I really don't know about this."
Zhao Changhe said: "I guess Brother Shi didn't know about this, otherwise Brother Shi would have appeared that night instead of those ugly people."
Shi Wuding looked very unhappy.
He has been in the same group as Heimiao, and his entire faction is supporting Heimiao. However, Heimiao clearly knows that he is going to deal with Wang Daozhong, but he assassinates him privately without telling him. What does this mean
Zhao Changhe said calmly, "I think there are some problems here. If Brother Shi doesn't want to be treated like a fool, then you'd better talk to Wang about it."
Shi Wuding said slowly: "What do you think?"
Zhao Changhe asked, "Wang and Brother Shi have no grudges in the past?"
Shi Wuding said: "No hatred."
"Then Brother Shi, you challenged me for no reason. Could it be that you really wanted to fight with swords because you were excited about the prey?"
There is no fixed silence.
Zhao Changhe said, "Wang, I have thought about it and there is only one reason. I, Langya, intend to purge the emperor's side, and the world should know this. But Brother Shi is unwilling to follow suit, so he wants to capture me? Or maybe he was commissioned by someone to try to capture me."
Shi Wuding sighed: "Almost."
"In other words, Brother Shi's actions against me have nothing to do with the Miao Border issue?"
"It's nothing to do with it. If it's related, it's a little bit. I don't want a powerful variable to appear here and drive away the best." Shi Wuding asked: "Brother Wang, why did you appear here?"
Zhao Changhe said, "You all know that my Wang family is going to purge the emperor's side. Hei Miao and His Majesty have a great grudge. Is it strange that I came to contact Hei Miao? Do you think I should contact Lei Ao directly?"
Shi Wuding thought about it and felt it was very reasonable, so he stopped talking.
Zhao Changhe continued, "So I don't understand this... The Black Miao are obviously going to rebel, and you're mixed up with the Black Miao, so you're also going to rebel, but you want to capture me, but you're a loyal minister... What does this mean?"
Shi Wuding was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Although Heimiao and I have joined forces, it does not mean that our interests are completely aligned."
"Oh?" Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "Can you explain it clearly?"
"Whether they rebel or not is none of my business. We swordsmen only come here to seek the way of swordsmanship." Shi Wuding said, "It is inconvenient to tell you the details, brother. Anyway, I accidentally came into contact with Hei Miao before and got a sword technique that is useful for breaking through the bottleneck of my swordsmanship, but it is not complete and I still need to find a core method. We cooperated with Hei Miao just for this..."
"I'm afraid it's more than that?" Zhao Changhe said, "Given the fragmented situation of Miaojiang and the fact that it is particularly unfriendly to the Xia people, it is very difficult for you to find things. Why not cooperate with the Black Miao to unify Miaojiang, and the rest will be much easier?" Shi Wuding did not answer, but tacitly agreed.
What swordsmanship is nothing more than the method of sword slaves. This thing is supposed to be a kind of witchcraft. Zhao Changhe can't see how it can be used in sword practice. Everyone has their own way. Maybe it is indeed helpful to Shi Wuding's practice. Anyway, the cause and effect are almost connected. The reason why Heimiao wants to assassinate Wang Daozhong without Shi Wuding's knowledge can also be roughly inferred...
"Brother Shi, if the Black Miao really wanted to rebel, they would be happy to contact me when they saw me coming here, and there would be no reason to kill me. Do you think there is a possibility that they don't want to rebel at all? Or maybe what they want to do is more important than rebellion, and they don't want a major force in the Central Plains to be involved, so they just kill me and be done with it."
Shi Wuding pondered and said, "If that's the case, why did you hide it from me?"
"Then there is only one possibility..." Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped talking.
Based on the known clues, there is only one possibility: they think that if Shi Wuding obtains Wang Daozhong, he will not need to cooperate with them.
In other words, the so-called great success of the sword slave method, the core method does not need to be found at all, as long as a sword slave at the level of the Earth Ranking is obtained, Shi Wuding may be able to achieve great success... They still need Shi Wuding's cooperation to unify the Miao Territory, and will not let him complete the sword slave training in the kingly way so early, so they simply kill him.
Shi Wuding also thought of this, and his expression became uncertain.
Firstly, it proves that Hei Miao doesn't really want to cooperate with him. Now this will hinder his swordsmanship. Does it mean that he will definitely help you accomplish it in the future
Secondly, it also proves that if Wang Daozhong is really defeated at this moment, maybe everything will be over...
Zhao Changhe took a half step back expressionlessly. Damn...
Shi Wuding looked at Zhao Changhe's appearance, and his dead face suddenly showed an ugly smile: "Brother Wang, why do you have to be like this?"
Zhao Changhe was on high alert, and said calmly, "Although Brother Shi is stronger than me, I am prepared, so it may not be easy to capture Brother Shi alive... But there is another local ranking in Miaojiang, and they may not be so prepared for Brother Shi. Can you consider it?"
Shi Wuding narrowed his eyes.
This is a person who doesn't care about anything for the sake of kendo. Zhao Changhe made a judgment in his heart.
Not to mention his collaborators, he might even be willing to kill his own father.
Is this the reason why Han Wubing and Jianlu parted ways? Different paths.
Lei Zhentang, who was far away in Fengyi Town, suddenly shivered all over, but he didn't know why.
At this time, he was sitting cross-legged in the Haixin Pavilion. In the center, people were grilling meat and distributing wine. The five tribes were sitting around the pavilion, each with only a small number of followers and guards.
Lei Zhentang secretly cursed his bad luck. Everyone brought only a small number of people to the meeting, and he brought Shi Wuding with him. The sense of oppression was strong, and it was easy for him to suddenly kill Si Laoye to intimidate Xiang Simeng. As a result, Shi Wuding was inexplicably intercepted by Wang Daozhong halfway. It was unknown what sparks would come out between the two, and Lei Zhentang was a little restless.
Seeing that the feeling of oppression here was reduced countless times, fortunately, one of Xiang Simeng's left and right protectors was missing. Si Laoye was not there, but the ugly female protector who had been inconspicuous that day was standing behind him.
For a small elf like you, it's already amazing that you have a strong man like Si Laoye. Do you want to have two
Lei Zhentang thought about this and said, "The first topic of this meeting is how to treat the Xia people in our territory. Our tribe intends to kill them all. What do you think?"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Sisi said calmly: "The spirit race doesn't..."
Lei Zhentang secretly said that it was a good time, and his tiger eyes, which had been focused for a long time, instantly glared over. The pressure of the Earth Ranking surged towards Sisi like an overwhelming force, and even her soul seemed to be locked up.
Under normal circumstances, this girl would be trembling with fear, shaking like a sieve, and unable to even speak.
It turned out that Xiang Simeng's situation was not as difficult as he had imagined. Although his face looked a little stiff, he still had a smile on his face.
The ugly female guardian took a half step forward silently, and Sisi's pressure was relieved. She continued smoothly: "... I don't agree."
Lei Zhentang was furious: "What does a mere girl like you have to do with the clan leaders' meeting? Get lost!"
As he spoke, Lei Ting slammed his palm towards the ugly female guardian who was standing in front of Sisi, intending to kill her instantly and shock the whole audience.
As a result, the ugly female protector did not dodge or evade, but used her fingers as a sword to pierce Lei Zhentang's palm.
When their fingers and palms collided, the ugly female protector couldn't hold on and fell onto Sisi with a muffled groan. However, Lei Zhentang was not much better off. His palm felt like a sword piercing through him and the sword energy was like a churning, cutting him so hard that he almost groaned in pain.
Sisi stood up angrily: "Chief Lei, you are taking your anger out on our people, but you took it out on the wrong people!"
Dao Qingfeng, Pan Wan and the others all stood up with sullen faces. Lei Zhentang forced a smile and said, "I couldn't control my temper... What's the name of this Spirit Clan guardian?"
The ugly female guardian stood still, straight as a sword: "Spirit tribe guardian Si Furen, greets the leader of the Thunder tribe."
Lei Zhentang looked confused and uncertain. What's wrong with this spirit race... It's okay to have a weird name, there are many people with weird names in various races... But now that Si Laoye is gone, this Madam Si seems to be stronger than Si Laoye. Are all the spirit race members with the surname Si so strong
Not noticing the ugly female protector behind her, Sisi gritted her teeth and almost kicked her own protector to death.
One of you is going to be the master, and the other is going to be the lady, so I should be the maid who helps you guard the door, right
