A huge ebony plaque hangs high in front of the main hall of the Wulin League, with four gold lacquered characters "Longevity" written on it. The plaque is written by the first generation leader of the Wulin League. It has a history of more than a hundred years. It has been peeled and faded, but it does not affect the majesty of the plaque, but adds a bit of simplicity and solemnity.
Bai Fuling walked into the hall surrounded by her own guards and maids. When she passed under the plaque, she couldn't help but look up a few more times, and said in her heart: You will naturally have a noble spirit forever, but those who come after you may not be able to be worthy of it. Start with these four words.
The hall was full of people, including the elders of the Wulin League and members of various sects temporarily residing in the Wulin League, as well as people from nearby rivers and lakes who came to see the excitement after hearing the news. Judging from the clothes of the Wulin League, Wuyunmen came the most The people from Feiqiong Palace accounted for three out of ten of the hall, the leader Liu Wanjin and a middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Bai Fuling with malicious expressions.
That Liu Yiyi and Hua Yinghan were standing beside them, with sad expressions on their faces, but when they saw Bai Fuling, their originally resentful wives expressions like little white flowers immediately turned into jealousy, viciousness and gloating.
The middle-aged beautiful woman looks somewhat similar to Hua Yinghan, she should be Hua Yinghan's mother, Princess Feiqiong Palace Hua Xuanxue.
There are also quite a few disciples in the Jiyun Hall. They obviously have been told by Yue Laosi and Han Baizi to support Bai Fuling, but they are all low-level disciples, and most of them look anxious.
Several elders of the Martial Arts League had solemn faces, and some elders who supported Wuyunmen and other "opposition groups" watched coldly and maliciously.
The strange thing is that the people from Situ's family in Jizhou only came with three or two kittens, and Situ Shanshan was not there.
Chi Diyu, the former martial arts leader, looked indifferent, but he couldn't hide the faint excitement in his eyes.
Bai Fuling only knew these people, and she didn't know any of the other people who watched her benevolently or maliciously, and she didn't care.
On the other side of the hall, stood a frivolous young man in a royal blue silk shirt, holding a folding fan, posing in a pose that he thought was very romantic, faintly confronting the people of the Wulin League.
Behind the young man was followed by more than a dozen guards in brocade clothes. The outfits looked like the clothes of the guards of the prince's mansion in the capital. One of the guards was standing upright holding a large wooden box, while the rest guarded him carefully, but they didn't know what was inside the big wooden box. What was installed to make them so cautious.
Bai Fuling frowned secretly. She heard that the capital is now supervised by a few princes, and Yang Heng was making a big show of helping the disaster. These princes must have some thoughts in their hearts. It seems that this time the matter is not as simple as Wuyunmen and others wanting to embarrass her. .
Ever since seeing Bai Fuling, the young man in silk shirt had a salivating expression on his face, and found that Bai Fuling's gaze passed him and winked at her more frivolously.
Bai Fuling was annoyed and pretended not to see her, so she walked up to the Grand Elder of the Martial Arts League and bowed her head, saying, "I've seen the Grand Elder."
This great elder is the oldest in the martial arts alliance, and he is fair and sincere. Although he also thinks that Haifushi is probably dead, he still respects and maintains Bai Fuling, and he also agrees to the request conveyed by Yue Laosi and others. Then re-elect a new leader to show respect for Sea Pumice.
Therefore, Bai Fuling treated him very politely and respectfully. After all, having an extra helper, especially a heavyweight one, would only be beneficial to her.
The Great Elder got up to return the salute, with a hesitant and compassionate expression on his face, he sighed softly and said, "May I take the liberty to ask Miss Bai to come down the mountain, but there is something I really need you to confirm..."
The First Elder seemed to feel that the matter was a bit difficult to talk about, so he shook his head and brought Bai Fuling to the young man in the silk shirt, and said, "This is the Guest Qing of the Third Prince's Mansion, Mr. Zhou Wenhua, who is known as 'Baili Wuhen' in the Jianghu."
Bai Fuling knew that most of today's events were related to this Zhou Wenhua, so she gave a light "oh" and turned away, showing an indifferent attitude that she didn't want to pay any attention to it.
A look of embarrassment flashed in Zhou Wenhua's eyes. His status as a guest of the Third Prince's House was enough for him to show his power to the martial arts people present. Even if he was the Great Elder, even if he disdained him in his heart, he should politely address him as Mr. Zhou .
But in front of Bai Fuling, this identity is not enough to look at at all. Not to mention the family members who have a higher status than the other, just her own title of Jingling County Lord is much higher than him. If it is When meeting on other occasions, he, a guest of the prince's mansion without rank, would still bow down to her.
Any man who is blatantly ignored by a beauty will inevitably feel angry in his heart. Zhou Wenhua trembled when he thought of his reason for coming.
He raised his head and said: "Zhou's visit today is entrusted by the third prince to send back the body of the leader of Haimeng."
Although Bai Fuling was sure that Haifushi was still alive, she couldn't help trembling slightly when she heard such words suddenly, her eyes rolled, and she couldn't help looking at the big wooden box that was tightly protected behind Zhou Wenhua.
That wooden box was square and square, and it was impossible to hold a corpse, either ashes or the head!
If it's ashes, there's no point in sending them over. No matter how stupid and deceitful the people of the Wulin League are, they won't easily recognize a box of ashes as their leader... that is... the head? !
Bai Fuling felt that she was having difficulty breathing. She suddenly remembered that Haifushi cut off the heads of the two people and sent them to protest the emperor, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.
Don't panic! Don't panic! If you panic, you will fall into someone else's trick!
Bai Fuling's eyes slowly moved away from the big wooden box, and she looked coldly at Zhou Wenhua, who was appreciating her drastic change of expression complacently. She collected herself and asked calmly, "Where did you find the corpse?" ?”
Others in the hall were a little surprised at her calmness. It was really strange that she could calm down so quickly after hearing the bad news. Many people, especially Wuyunmen and others who were more or less involved in today's events She couldn't help but feel drums in her heart, could it be that she is really sure that Haifushi is not dead? !
"Naturally, I found it in the Demon God's Grotto of the Demon Sect. It has been turned into ruins. After the incident, the Demon Sect sealed off all the area and sent people to search and excavate it secretly. Finally, they found the body of the leader of Haimen recently. I hate those Demon Sects The demon actually cut off the head of the leader of the Hai League, intending to hang it in the main altar of the Demon Sect and burn his body. Zhou learned of this by accident and asked the Third Highness for instructions. The Third Highness respects all the heroes of the Wulin League. Respect, so I sent Zhou to sneak into the Demon Cult with a group of masters to steal the remains of the leader of Haimen, and send them back to the Martial Arts League for proper settlement." Zhou Wenhua said it very smoothly, obviously this rhetoric has been deliberated in his heart many times .
Bai Fuling looked unmoved, and continued to ask: "Did the Devil Sect find Kansui's body?"
Zhou Wenhua was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why she cared about Kansui's corpse, but guessing that since Haifushi entered the Demon God's Grotto for a decisive battle with Kansui, the two corpses should be buried very close to each other, so he nodded and said, "Of course we found it." .”
"Then why haven't you heard that the Demon Sect has a large-scale mourning?" Bai Fuling asked, and many people in the Wulin League really showed doubts.
Yes indeed! If the Demon Cult finds the dead body of the leader, it should indeed hold a burial ceremony and formally mourn, but so far no news has come out, which is completely unreasonable.
Zhou Wenhua was stopped by the question, but he was a bit impatient, he hesitated for a moment before he realized it, raised his eyebrows and said: "Everyone in the Demon Cult never behaves according to common sense, so how do you know if there is something wrong with them internally, or What kind of conspiracy is there? The remains of the leader of Haimen were stolen from the Demon Cult by Zhou and a group of masters, if Miss Bai doesn't believe it, you can check it out for yourself!"
Their plan today was to confirm the fact that Haifushi was dead, so as to force Bai Fuling to hand over the leader's token and leave the Wulin League. They expected Bai Fuling to be the daughter of a boudoir, no matter how brave they are, it is impossible to really take a closer look at the head of a dead person, not to mention that they sent experts to manipulate this head, which looks the same as sea pumice, even if there is a slight It is not surprising that they are different.
The head was preserved with medicine and has not rotted so far. It is normal for it to be slightly deformed after such a long time.
Didn't Bai Fuling have to see the dead body of Haifushi before he would admit his death? Let her see enough now!
Liu Wanjin and Hua Xuanxue sneered. In their eyes, Bai Fuling was an ignorant daughter who would not shed tears without seeing the coffin. She took away their granddaughter and daughter's son-in-law by virtue of her status and beauty, and now she insisted on Haifushi Not dead, in their way, even if she has a high status, they don't dare to do anything to her, but they are very happy to scare her, make her lose face, and dare not continue to stay in the Wulin League.
Zhou Wenhua had already spoken, and sure enough, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Fuling. Some people gloated, some showed their faces. It is cruel for a weak woman to accept the news of her fiancé's tragic death. Level, it is too difficult for others.
There are two paths before Bai Fuling, one is to ask others to check it for her, the result is that the news that Hai Pumice is dead must be confirmed, then she can no longer prevent the Wulin League from electing a new leader for any reason, and at the same time she has to leave Zhengqi Academy, What's more, they will be questioned about the whereabouts of the tokens of the Wulin League and how to open the secret room. The second is to see for yourself whether the head in the wooden box is Sea Pumice himself, and then make a fuss about it.
Bai Fuling lived in a civilized and stable modern society in her previous life, and blood was rare, let alone the head of a dead person. The border town bordering the barbarians has always been well protected, and I have never seen too bloody scenes, let alone touching stumps and heads.
In truth, she was terrified, both of the dead head itself and of finding out that it was actually sea pumice. But just because she was afraid, she aroused her stubbornness and ruthlessness. She smiled coldly and said, "Okay! You guys have made such a big battle, isn't it just like me to see this leader with my own eyes?"
Ever since Gongkai appeared next to Haifushi, Bai Fuling has always been a delicate and shy young lady. No one in the hall would have thought that she would dare to agree to inspect her head so readily. , There are also those who admire!
Some people thought to themselves: Lord Haimen really has a good eye for picking wives. Even some heroines in the Jianghu are rarely as calm and bold as her in the face of such things. My wife is not in vain!
Zhou Wenhua was also disturbed by her composure, but with today's incident, there is no turning back, and the matter has come to this point and can only continue.
He winked gloomyly at the guard holding the box behind him. The guard took the box and walked to the large desk in the middle of the hall, opened the lid, and the four walls of the wooden box opened to all sides with a snap, revealing a pair of eyes in the middle. Shut the disheveled head...
The crowd in the hall was suddenly excited, and the person who saw the outline of the first-level facial features couldn't help gasping, who is it not the sea pumice? !
Liu Yiyi and Hua Yinghan took two steps forward, couldn't help but covered their mouths with a wow and began to cry.
Zhou Wenhua was very satisfied with the effect, and couldn't help but cast a glance towards Bai Fuling, remembering that before he came, His Highness the Third Highness had heard the name of the fiancée of the martial arts lord, with a very interested look on her face... This beauty is always You should give up, if you can find a way to make this woman voluntarily fall into the arms of His Highness the Third Highness, it will definitely be a greater contribution than controlling the Wulin League.
Although this beauty is Hai Pumice's fiancée, it is said that she has not been officially hired, so it is not too difficult to cover up this part.
Her status is worthy of being an empress. If the Third Highness gets her, it will be equivalent to gaining the support of Bai Changshan, Lu Ying, Princess Antai and others. Princess Antai is the only younger sister of the emperor, and she is very well spoken among the royal family. Weight, although Bai Changshan has retired, many officials in the capital are her former disciples, Lu Ying has a high prestige in the army, with their support, the throne is still at hand? !
He had all sorts of nasty thoughts in his mind, but he suddenly found that Bai Fuling didn't lose her face or even cry bitterly as he imagined, but walked to the big case very calmly.
Liu Yiyi and Hua Yinghan lay down on the bank sobbing and weeping, "Brother Hai, you died so badly! Woooooo!"
"Get out of the way, my fiancée hasn't even cried yet, why are you two so excited?" Bai Fuling said coldly.
One sentence made Liu Yiyi and Hua Yinghan feel ashamed and annoyed. The two daughters were both from the city, so they resisted retorting in public and silently retreated behind their parents. Seeing their juniors being humiliated, Liu Wanjin and Hua Xuanxue became even more angry I hate Bai Fuling, but what people say is reasonable, it's not easy to argue with her in the public.
Liu Wanjin said in a stiff tone: "Miss Bai must see clearly, so as not to delay the major events of our Wulin League!"
Hua Xuanxue pretended to say: "Miss Bai is sad, you are young and beautiful, and you have a good family background. You will definitely be able to find another suitable husband, so as not to delay this good time."
Bai Fuling only thought they were singing and ignored them, staring straight at the leader on the big case, Bai Guo and Bai Shao felt uneasy, standing beside her, they didn't know what to say or do. They were not sure what Bai Fuling was thinking, but the head in front of them really looked like a sea pumice.
Bai Fuling took a deep breath, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. She still didn't believe that Hai Pumice would die so easily, and was even beheaded.
No matter how angry the emperor was with him, it was impossible for others to show his own son's head around. Even if he didn't mention family affection, there was still a face problem. Haifushi once said that some people in the Wulin League knew him Regarding the relationship with the emperor, the emperor took out his son's head, what do you think these insiders think
If it wasn't the emperor's intention, then it was the third prince's own decision. The benefits of what he did was obvious. It was nothing more than to win over those who wanted to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, so as to control the power of the martial arts alliance in the future.
The third prince was oppressed by the eldest prince and the second prince, and his mediocre aptitude has never been favored. He is eager to win power now, and he must be preparing for his own fight for the throne.
The emperor suddenly fell ill, and Bai Fuling had always suspected that Haifushi was the one who did it. Yang Heng left the capital and Haifushi attacked the emperor, getting rid of Yang Heng's suspicion. At the same time, he chose the moment when the emperor was most lax.
With the strength of the third prince, it is purely ridiculous to sneak into the Demon Cult to steal the head of the sea pumice. Although the leader of the Demon Cult "died", there are countless masters in the teaching, and any one of them can make Zhou Wenhua die ten times. Second-rate.
This head must be fake!
But how long can this fake head deceive everyone? Today's news spreads, and the Demon Sect will definitely react. If the Demon God's Grotto has never been touched by anyone, and Zhou Wenhua and others have never sneaked into the Demon Sect's territory, then it is useless. It won't be long before it spreads all over the rivers and lakes.
correct! As long as she is bluffed today, whether forced, frightened, or lied to, as long as she admits that Haifushi is dead, she will leave the Wulin League. Even if it is revealed that this head is fake, she will have no face to come back The request to postpone the election of the leader of the martial arts alliance was raised again, and it was even more impossible to re-enter the Zhengqi Academy. So it is enough for them to succeed today!
Although it is dishonorable to expose this matter, but with the backing of the third prince and the powerful temptation of the leader's throne, it is not surprising that these people would take risks.
Bai Fuling squinted her eyes, anger grew in her heart, and then she did a horrifying and cruel thing that absolutely shocked the audience in full view—she walked up two steps without saying a word, reached out and grabbed the head of hair, picked up the head and threw it straight towards Zhou Wenhua!
This scene was beyond everyone's expectation. Zhou Wenhua was stunned and almost got hit. Fortunately, he was good at lightness kungfu, so he jumped in a hurry at the last moment and drove away in a very embarrassing manner.
There was an uproar...
Bai Fuling pointed at his nose and said loudly: "Dare to come to the Wulin League to show off and cheat with just a fake product?! Zhou, what is your intention?!"
Everyone in the hall changed their faces when they heard her words. The chief elder, including Jiyuntang and others, put away their sad expressions, and asked in surprise, "Is that head fake?"
The faces of Wuyunmen and Feiqiong Palace were very gloomy, Liu Yiyi and Hua Yinghan stopped crying, and looked at Bai Fuling in astonishment.
Everyone had the same idea, if the head was real, how could Bai Fuling be willing to use the head of her fiancé to hit others like a meteor hammer
Zhou Wenhua and others saw the atmosphere in the hall suddenly reversed, and secretly complained in their hearts, but the matter has come to this point, but they have to stick to it: "You, what evidence do you have to say that this is fake?"
Bai Fuling sneered and said, "Brother Hai has a very small mole hidden in the tip of his right brow, ordinary people would not notice it, but there is nothing on the dog's head you brought!"
Haifushi's eyebrows are thick and black, and a small black mole hidden in the tip of his eyebrows is really difficult for ordinary people to notice. It is not surprising that Bai Fuling has been with him day and night, and it is not surprising to find this small feature. Everyone believes her plausible words even more.
Zhou Wenhua's expression turned ugly, and he said stiffly: "It is true that I brought a group of masters to steal this head from the main altar of the Devil's Cult. How, how could it be a fake?"
"A master? How high?" Bai Fuling winked at Bai Ada and the others, and they immediately understood. Bai Asan and Bai Asi deliberately bowed to Bai Fuling respectfully, then turned around suddenly, and flashed to Zhou Wenhua like a ghost. Hit them with palms around them.
Others only see that their young lady is calm and bold, but those of them who have been with Bai Fuling for many years know that she is actually quite frightened by that head, but they still force themselves to reach out to touch the disgusting thing that she is obviously afraid of, and they don't know How sad and wronged.
Thinking that everything was caused by Zhou Wenhua this week, Bai Asan and Bai Asi became even more angry, and they shot mercilessly. Rao Zhou Wenhua was good at martial arts and was beaten by the two together.
The guards of the Prince's Mansion who came with Zhou Wenhua came forward to help, Bai Ah San stepped behind the door of the hall and took two brooms, threw one to Bai Ah Si and used the other for his own use, forcing the guards to retreat in a row.
With the broom in his hand, Bai Ah Si specialized in attacking Zhou Wenhua, but with a dozen or so moves, Zhou Wenhua was only able to parry but had no power to fight back.
The long bamboo strips on the broom scraped Zhou Wenhua's silk shirt into a beggar's attire. There were bloodstains all over his face and body, and he was very embarrassed.
Most people in the Wulin League hated Zhou Wenhua for using a fake head to pretend to be the remains of their leader. Fortunately, Bai Fuling was able to tell the real from the fake, otherwise this matter would be exposed in the future, and the reputation of the Wulin League would inevitably be damaged, so everyone felt that Zhou Wenhua was in trouble. Very happy.
Moreover, the two servants of the Bai family beat Zhou Wenhua like this, so how could he have the ability to sneak into the main altar of the Demon Cult without being discovered
Some people who made a special trip to watch the excitement already had a good impression of the beautiful and charming Bai Fuling. They did not dare to offend the people of the Third Prince's Mansion, but they were very happy to see someone let them down, and some good-natured people even applauded.
Liu Wanjin and Hua Xuanxue couldn't sit still, Zhou Wenhua was lured to the Martial Arts League by them this week, it was embarrassing to be exposed as a liar, now they are beaten like this, how will they explain to the Third Prince
The two exchanged glances, jumped out to stop Bai Asan and Bai Asi, and shouted loudly in the direction of Bai Fuling: "Stop!"
Bai Fuling was provoked very much today, and she also planned to show her prestige completely, she was willing to let it go, she turned her head and nodded to Bai Ada and Bai Aer, and they blocked Liu Wanjin and Hua Xuanxue Restraining them in front of them, Bai Asan and Bai Asan turned their heads and continued to repair Zhou Wenhua and others.
