Jiuxi

Chapter 161 Chapter 160 [Not my race]

Late at night, there is a pavilion in the northwest corner of the village.

The moonlight is like water, and everything is silent.

Lin Jie walked into the pavilion carrying two wine jars, and then threw one jar of wine forward.

Yu Chigui raised his hand to take it, opened the lid and smelled it, raised his eyebrows and said: "Luofuchun in 12?"

"I haven't seen you for many years, but your nose is still so sharp. If you hadn't come here, I wouldn't have dug out the cellar in the backyard, but these are the last two jars, and they will be gone after drinking them."

Lin Jie came to the stone table and sat down with a mellow smile on his face.

Yuchi returned to the gentle moonlight, raised his head and drank half of the jar in one go, and praised with satisfaction: "Good wine."

He placed the wine jar on the table and wiped his mouth casually with his sleeve.

The ten people on the martial arts list are also the top ten recognized by most reckless heroes. They have basically not changed much over the years. Only one young man with an arrogant temperament and talent has broken into the top ten, and that is the ninth person on the list now. The swordsman is crazy.

Lin Jie said leisurely: "In the past few years since you have been living in seclusion, Dian Kuang has been searching everywhere like crazy, but no one can guess that you are staying next to Xiao Wangzhi in Huaizhou. This time you helped Lu Chen, and it is very likely that the lunatic will find out about it. News, they might come to challenge you."

The rules for ranking in the martial arts rankings are very simple. Defeat or kill the opponent to replace him.

Generally speaking, people in the green forest will not do things to perfection, especially those well-known masters. Even if they want to improve their ranking, they will just compete with each other and will not kill easily.

For hundreds of years, Dian Kuang is the only outlier in the world. Since he entered the martial arts rankings, he has fought five times. His opponents were either seriously injured and lost all their martial arts skills, or their heads were missing and they were killed on the spot.

Dian Kuang's next target was Yuchi Gui, but he could not be found over the years. It is said that he became increasingly manic and depressed.

Yuchi Gui's heart moved slightly. He turned to look at Lin Jie and said, "Is he so well-informed?"

Lin Jie sipped the fine wine and said calmly: "Dian Kuang is like a genius who suddenly appeared. Very few people know his inheritance and origin. Based on some clues in the past, I infer that he was trained by Qing Yugong. Eagle dog. In other words, if you kill those Jing Dynasty cavalry on Dongyang Road, Qingyu Huaijin will definitely know about it, and Dian Kuang will know about it soon."

"I just want to complete Brother Xiao's entrustment during this trip and ensure that Lu Chen returns completely. As for lunatics like Dian Kuang, please help me get rid of them."

Yuchi Gui's expression was calm, with a hint of ridicule, and he obviously did not take Dian Kuang, who was ranked ninth on the martial arts list, to heart.

Lin Jie laughed and said: "You drank my treasured Luofuchun and asked me to help you solve such a troublesome matter. No matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business."

Yuchi returned and said, "I knew you would have some plans when you see me tonight. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"What do you think of Lu Chen?"

"With excellent character and character, you will definitely be able to stand out in the future."

"In that case, I would like to ask you to pass on the Sixteen Style Sanshou to him."

Lin Jie's tone was calm and calm, as if this request was commonplace and not surprising. However, most martial arts masters knew that Qiankun Yuchigui's Sixteen Style Sanshou in his sleeves was the essence of his martial arts.

Yuchi Gui stared at the No. 1 on the martial arts list opposite him and asked curiously: "Why?"

The scene of the meeting during the day came to Lin Jie's mind, and then he smiled and said: "I have accepted him as a closed disciple, and I naturally hope that he can master more life-saving methods. Shangxuan Jing and your Sanshou are a match made in heaven, and they are quite suitable. Lu Chen’s temperament, and you are alone with no children, and you don’t even have an apprentice, so you can’t bring this unique skill into the coffin.”

"Thank you for thinking of me like this."

Yuchi Gui said angrily, and then said in confusion: "When you taught me the Mysterious Sutra to help me heal my injuries, I thought you would ask for the Sanshou technique passed down by Yuchi's family, but you never spoke. In fact, I don't I understand very well, why don't you let your wife practice my Sanshou? Why do you care so much about Lu Chen?"

Lin Jie said calmly: "Xi'er only needs to focus on the art of double swords. She doesn't need to learn other things. Lu Chen is different. This young man's understanding is quite rare. Do you know how long it took him to practice the Xuan Jing?" "

Yuchi Gui shook his head slightly.

Lin Jie did not give in, and continued: "It takes seven days to get a glimpse of the door, and three months to achieve something."

Yuchigui was stunned and his expression became serious.

He was originally a martial arts master of his generation. Back then, he defeated all the green forests in the Northland with his single hands. Later, he was seriously injured when he assassinated Qing Yuding.Fortunately, Lin Jie took out the mental methods of the Shangxuan Jing to help him heal his injuries, so he had a good understanding of the Shangxuan Jing. He knew that this internal skill and mental method was magical and obscure, and ordinary people could not understand its secrets even if they memorized it.

However, what Lu Chen was able to understand in such a short period of time was that his martial arts talent was astonishing.

Lin Jie sighed: "When I taught him the Shou Zheng Jue, I didn't realize that this boy's talent was so strong. Fortunately, he did not waste his talent. He practiced the Shou Zheng Jue assiduously for nine years and built a very solid foundation. The foundation is the basis for the accumulation later. Speaking of which, are you willing?"

Yu Chigui stretched out his arms and said slowly: "For your sake, I'll just teach him."

Lin Jie smiled slightly.Yuchi Gui turned to look at him, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "But I still have a condition. Prepare a few more jars of Luofuchun for me."

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Okay, I know I can't hide it from you."

The two smiled at each other.

……

The next morning, outside the main village meeting hall.

Lu Chen and Lin Xi walked side by side through the long corridor to the east.

Lin Xi said softly: "I originally wanted to accompany you to participate in today's discussion, but my father asked me not to come forward. He said that today the senior members of the gang are gathering together, and you must deal with it alone. If I were present, it might cause some problems Unexpected trouble.”

Lu Chen said: "Sister, don't worry, I can handle it."

Lin Xi smiled and said: "Of course I believe you can do it, but some of the elders in the gang have weird personalities, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"it is good."

Lu Chen agreed, and the meeting hall came into view in front of him. He stopped and said, "Senior sister, stay."

Lin Xi nodded and watched him walk towards the meeting hall, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

At this moment, the meeting hall was full of people. The hall masters, stewards, and deacons were all full, except for the first chair from the left.

When the boy led Lu Chen in, dozens of eyes immediately shot over, looking at Lu Chen from head to toe, with a lot of scrutiny and caution.

Lin Jie had told everyone in advance that an envoy from the Huaizhou Governor's Office of the Southern Qi Border Army would arrive today.

The Seven Star Gang was established before the Yuanjia Incident. At that time, the late Emperor of Qi Dynasty was in power, the people of Li were living in dire straits, and civil unrest occurred frequently in various places, so the Seven Star Gang came into being.The protracted siege that year almost wiped out the Seven Star Gang, so these green forest heroes had a very bad impression of the Qi Kingdom's court.

Just because they were hesitant to accept the Yan Dynasty's recruitment did not mean they would welcome the envoys from the Southern Qi military.

In the midst of solemnity, Lu Chen came to the hall and stood, saluted Lin Jie who was sitting on the throne, and said unhurriedly: "Lu Chen, the captain of the Ruishi Camp of the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion of the State of Qi, pays homage to Lin Jie, the leader of the Seven Star Gang. I have seen him. Dear seniors in the world."

After more than a year of experience, Lu Chen's temperament has become more and more calm. Even in the current scene where dozens of people are watching, and there are many unkind looks, he still does not panic at all.Coupled with his slender stature and the expert demeanor he has gradually developed, he looks like a majestic pine and cypress standing in the hall.

Lin Jie raised his hand and pointed to the empty chair on the left, and said calmly: "Captain Lu, please take a seat."

Lu Chen thanked him and took his seat, and then he met the deep gaze of the middle-aged man opposite him. He knew that this man was Jiang Houming, the master of Fengtang Hall, the leader of a force within the Seven Star Gang.

Lin Jie looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Brothers may not be familiar with Captain Lu, and may think he is too young, so I will briefly introduce him. You should have heard about the war in the south last year. The Southern Qi frontier army was defeated one after another. The army of the Yan Dynasty and even the old soldiers of the Jing Dynasty suffered many defeats, and the man behind this war was Captain Lu."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

The green forest tycoons of the Seven Star Gang knew the strength of Jing Chao's old soldiers very well, and being able to defeat those elites in hundreds of battles was enough to show that the ability of the young man in front of him should not be underestimated. Some people who had previously looked down upon him looked at Lu Chen seriously.

Lin Jie added: "The recruitment of the Green Forest Gang in the Yan Dynasty has caused a lot of commotion, and the south is also very concerned about this matter. Lieutenant Lu, please tell everyone the reason for your visit."

Lu Chen bowed his hands and bowed, facing everyone's eyes with different thoughts, he said calmly: "Seniors, I am here on the orders of Governor Xiao of Huaizhou to dissuade the Seven Star Gang from accepting the recruitment of the Yan Dynasty."

His words were straight to the point, which slightly surprised the senior leaders of the Seven Star Gang.

In fact, most people can guess his purpose. If the Seven Star Gang refuses Yan Chao's recruitment, it will definitely involve a lot of energy from the other party, and even affect the thinking of most people in Beidi Green Forest.For the Southern Qi frontier army, the more unstable the Yan Dynasty is, the more advantageous it will be; otherwise, it will bear all the pressure.

They just didn't expect Lu Chen to be so direct, without any flattery.

This will naturally make quite a few people uncomfortable.

Lin Jie glanced at Lu Chen and said calmly: "It concerns the fate of tens of thousands of people in the Seven Star Gang. I will not act arbitrarily. Everyone can speak freely today. Regarding Captain Lu's proposal, you can express your opinions directly. "

As soon as the words fell, there was a cold voice.

"Captain Lu, right? I don't understand. What does the Seven Star Gang's acceptance of recruitment have to do with your Southern Qi border army? In other words, what qualifications do you have to dictate the affairs of the Seven Star Gang? Just because the gang leader treats others with courtesy, doesn't mean you can Let’s talk nonsense here.”

Lu Chen looked indifferent and passed by.
