The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 465: The King's Way Reappears in Miaojiang

Envoys from all sides passed information all day long, and finally confirmed that the first joint meeting of the five ethnic groups would be held at Haixin Pavilion in the south of Erhai Lake.

At noon the next day, Lei Zhentang led the crowd around the sea and went straight to Haixin Pavilion.

When hundreds of clans gather together, in full view of everyone, he still wants to have a "righteous" name, but he really can't do anything too ugly. Afterwards, I wanted to assassinate him, but I couldn't find anyone, and I didn't dare to send troops to attack the village. Over there, a man and a woman practiced sword practice for two days, while Lei Zhentang couldn't sleep well for two days.

But the Five Clans Association still has some room for maneuver. After all, this is a world of martial arts. Not to mention those like Dao Qingfeng who have a feud with them, but Pan Wan and Xiang Simeng, they may not be able to suppress them with power...for example , that Si Laoye must be Xiang Simeng’s most reliable Dinghai Shenzhen. As long as he is killed by a sudden attack, Xiang Simeng’s small clan of a few hundred people will have no choice but to obey?

Maybe she can also serve as a pillow... I have never met her in person before, and I didn't realize that this woman is so beautiful. No wonder Lei Ao likes her... From now on, she will be my father's.

Just halfway through the journey, there was a man standing in front of him. He wore a scholar's shirt and a rich belt. He was looking at the sea with his hands behind his hands. He had an awe-inspiring attitude and turned a blind eye to the approaching soldiers and horses.

Lei Zhentang's heart skipped a beat, and Wuding's voice rang from behind him: "Why is Brother Daozhong here?"

The man turned his head, his expression cold and arrogant, he was indeed Wang Daozhong.

"Wang Daozhong" flicked the hem of his clothes and said calmly: "I came here to talk to Brother Shi about old times. I have been thinking about Brother Shi's sword three days ago and I have learned a lot. I will confirm it again."

Shi Wuding was a little surprised. Wang Daozhong escaped from Xizhou Town a few days ago and disappeared. Events had changed a lot in the past two days. He had no intention of searching for him. Unexpectedly, he actually jumped out on his own.

Didn't he know that his challenge was actually to catch him? Did you really think it was a swordsmanship challenge? Or do you think he can really beat yourself?

Is this life-threatening or brainless?

Shi Wuding felt that the Langya Wang family would not be so superficial, so he became a little cautious: "If Brother Wang still wants to discuss with Shi, you might as well make an appointment for another time. We have other important matters at the moment."

Wang Daozhong...of course it was Zhao Changhe. Hearing this, he snorted coldly: "How long will it take to fight? No matter what you are going to do, let them go first. Can't it be over after you and I finish the fight and follow up? Isn't it time? Brother, do you think that if you are not Wang’s opponent, you will be killed by Wang’s sword, and you will have to take shelter from the Miao people, hiding behind other people’s buttocks and trembling?”

Shi Wuding's expression darkened, and he cupped his hands to Lei Zhentang: "Lei Clan Leader, please go ahead. I'll be back later."

Lei Zhentang stared at Zhao Changhe for a long time and said nothing. He just said: "Sir, be careful."

Shi Wuding floated out, Zhao Changhe rushed straight up to the surrounding mountains and forests, Shi Wuding followed closely. Lei Zhentang frowned and took a look. He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter... Isn't it too timely to appear in Wangdao?

Over there, Shi Wuding chased Zhao Changhe into the mountains, and Zhao Changhe suddenly stood still.

Shi Wuding said coldly: "It seems that Brother Wang has made a lot of achievements in Qianxiu these days? Shi must learn from it."

Zhao Changhe cupped his hands and said, "That night, Lei Ao sent someone to assassinate me. Did Brother Shi know?"

Shi Wuding was stunned: "Where did they get the confidence to leave me and assassinate Brother Wang?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Previously Wang was a guest at their place and drank their tea and wine, which may have planted the root of the curse. Of course they have gained confidence... Fortunately, our Langya Wang family has our own magic method, otherwise they would have really fallen into 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 crooked things."

Shi Wuding's expression was very ugly.

He was already on the same side as Hei Miao, and the entire faction was supporting Hei Miao's cause. However, Hei Miao knew clearly that he was going to deal with Wang Daozhong, but he went to assassinate him in private without informing him. The implication here is...

Zhao Changhe said calmly: "I think there are some problems here. If Brother Shi doesn't want to be treated as a fool, it's better to have a chat with Wang."

Shi Wuding said slowly: "What's your opinion?"

Zhao Changhe asked: "Wang and Brother Shi have no enmity in the past?"

Shi Wuding said: "No hatred."

"Then Brother Shi challenged me inexplicably. Is it really because he wanted to compete with swords because he saw a hunter?"

There is always silence.

Zhao Changhe said: "Wang thought about it, but in fact there is only one reason. I, Langya, want to clear the emperor's side, and the world should know it. But Brother Shi does not want to join the trend, so he wants to capture him? Or maybe it is because he was entrusted by someone. Trying to get me."

Shi Wuding sighed: "Almost."

"In other words, Brother Shi's dealings with me have nothing to do with matters in Miao territory?"

"It's irrelevant. If it's relevant, there's one thing. I don't want a powerful variable to appear here and drive away the best." Shi Wuding asked, "Why did Brother Wang appear here?"

Zhao Changhe said: "You all know that my Wang family is going to betray the king, and Hei Miao has a big feud with His Majesty. Is it strange that I come to contact Hei Miao? Do you think I should contact Lei Ao directly?"

Shi Wuding thought about it and realized it was reasonable, so he stopped talking.

Zhao Changhe continued: "So I don't understand this matter... Hei Miao obviously wants to rebel. You and Hei Miao are mixed together, so you also want to rebel. But you want to take me, but you are a loyal minister... What is this? mean?"

Shi Wuding was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Although Hei Miao and I are in the same league, it does not mean that our interests are completely consistent."

"Oh?" Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "Can you explain it clearly?"

"What does it have to do with me whether to rebel or not? We swordsmen only come here to find the way of swordsmanship." Shi Wuding said: "I have made it clear to Brother Wang that I have any specific inconveniences. In short, I had accidentally contacted Hei Miao before and obtained a swordsmanship. For breakthrough The kendo bottleneck below is useful, but it’s not complete. We still need to find a core method, but we are working with Hei Miao to do this..."

"I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" Zhao Changhe said: "With the fragmented structure of Miao territory, and being particularly unfriendly to Xia people, it is very difficult for you to find things. Simply cooperate with Hei Miao to unify Miao territory, and the next thing will be fine Do a lot?”

Shi Wuding did not answer, acquiescing to this.

What kind of swordsmanship is nothing more than the sword slave's method? This thing is supposed to be a kind of Gu art. Zhao Changhe doesn't see what use it has for the practice of swordsmanship. Everyone has their own way, and it may be of some help to Shi Wuding's practice. Anyway, the causes and consequences are almost connected. The reason why Hei Miao wanted to assassinate Wang Daozhong behind Shi Wuding's back can be roughly deduced...

"Brother Shi, if Hei Miao really wants to rebel, he should be very happy to contact Wang when he sees him coming here. There is no reason to kill me. Do you think there is a possibility that they are not rebelling at all? Or, they are What we have to do is more important than rebellion, and we don’t want a big force from the Central Plains to get involved, so we can just kill him.”

Shi Wuding pondered: "If that's the case, why hide it from me?"

"Then there is only one possibility..." Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped talking.

From the known clues, there is only one possibility. They feel that if Shi Wuding gets Wang Daozhong, there is no need to cooperate with them.

In other words, the so-called great achievement of the Sword Slave method, the core method does not need to be found at all. It only needs to get a sword slave at the level of the Earth Ranking. Shi Wuding may be able to achieve it... They still need Shi Wuding to cooperate with him to unify the Miao territory. , would not let him complete the sword slave training in the royal way so early, so he simply killed him.

Shi Wuding also thought of this level, his expression uncertain.

It proved that Heimiao didn't really want to cooperate with him. Now because of this, he will hinder his path of swordsmanship. Will he definitely help you complete it in the future when it becomes successful?

Secondly, it also proved that if we really capture Wang Daozhong at this moment, maybe it will be over...

Zhao Changhe took half a step back with an expressionless expression, Damn...

Shi Wuding looked at Zhao Changhe's appearance, and his dead face suddenly had an ugly smile: "Brother Wang, why are you doing this?"

Zhao Changhe was fully alert and said calmly: "Although Brother Shi is stronger than me, since I am prepared, Brother Shi may not be easy to capture alive... But there are other places in Miao territory, and we may not be so prepared for Brother Shi." , Brother Shi, can you consider it?”

Shi Wuding narrowed his eyes.

This is a man who does not care about anything for the sake of swordsmanship. Zhao Changhe made a judgment in his mind.

Not to mention collaborators, he might even be willing to kill his own father.

Is this the reason why Han Wubing and Jianlu parted ways? Tao is different.

Lei Zhentang, who was far away in Fengyi Town, suddenly shivered all over, but he didn't know the reason.

At this time, he was sitting cross-legged in the Haixin Pavilion. In the center, someone was grilling meat and sharing wine. The five tribes were sitting around the pavilion, each with only a small number of followers to protect him.

Lei Zhentang secretly cried out that he was unlucky. Originally, everyone only brought a small number of people to the meeting, but he brought him with him at an uncertain time. The sense of oppression was very strong. It was also easy to surprise Xiang Simeng and kill that Si Laoye in a surprise attack. In the end, Shi Wuding was inexplicably intercepted halfway by Wang Daozhong. It was not known what sparks would burst out between the two, and Lei Zhentang was a little restless.

Seeing that the sense of oppression here has been reduced countless times, fortunately, there is one less guardian on the left and right side of Xiang Simeng. Si Laoye is not here, but the ugly female guardian who is not showy that day is standing behind him.

For you, a small spirit clan, it's enough to have a strong player like Si Laoye, but why don't you want to have two?

Lei Zhentang thought about this and said: "The first topic of this gathering is how to treat the Xia people in our territory. My intention is to kill them all. What do you think?"

Before anyone else could speak, Sisi said calmly: "The Spirit Clan doesn't..."

Lei Zhentang secretly thought that it was a good time, and his tiger eyes, which had been condensed for a long time, stared at him in an instant. The overwhelming pressure from the ground list surged towards Sisi, as if even his soul was being locked up.

According to normal circumstances, this girl must be in panic, shaking like chaff, and unable to even speak.

It turned out that Xiang Simeng was not as difficult as he imagined. Although his face was a little stiff, he still had a smile.

The ugly female protector quietly took half a step forward. Sisi's pressure disappeared and she continued smoothly: "...I disagree."

Lei Zhentang was furious: "The meeting of clan leaders, what's the matter with you, a mere girl? Get out!"

Following the words, Thunder struck the ugly female protector standing in front of Sisi with a palm, intending to kill her instantly and shock the entire audience.

As a result, the ugly female protector did not dodge, and pointed her finger like a sword, directly stabbing Lei Zhentang's palm.

Their fingers and palms intertwined. Of course, the ugly female protector couldn't hold it back. She groaned and fell against Sisi. Lei Zhentang was not much better. His palm was pierced like a sword, and the sword energy was like a stir. It almost made him groan in pain. .

Sisi stood up angrily: "Chief Lei, if you are angry at our clan members, are you angry at the wrong place?"

Dao Qingfeng, Pan Wan and others all stood up with livid faces. Lei Zhentang forced a smile: "I didn't suppress my temper... What is the name of this spiritual protector?"

The ugly female protector stood still, as straight as a sword: "Spirit Clan Protector Si Fulen, I have met Chief Lei Clan."

Lei Zhentang looked surprised and doubtful. What's wrong with this spirit race... It's okay to have a weird name, there are so many people with weird names in various races... But after Si Laoye left, this Madam Si seems to be stronger than Si Laoye. Are all the spirit race members with the surname Si so strong?

Didn't you see that behind the ugly female guardian, Sisi gnashed her teeth and almost kicked her own guardian to death.

One wants to be a master and the other wants to be a lady, so I should be a maid who helps you watch the door, right!
