There was a commotion in the distance of the city.

There was a bit of smoke and dust blowing into the field of vision.

On the corridor, he chatted with Xu Zhaonan, the "King of Wheels" who was about to leave. When he walked into the courtyard, Wang Nanda saw his senior brother with his hands behind his back, looking away from the terrace, staring at the chaos in the city.

"Senior brother." He saluted not far behind.

Lin Zongwu did not look back. After a while, Wang Nanda heard him sigh slightly: "...all life is miserable."

"Brother, why do you sigh like this?"

"Half of the country, thousands of miles away, it's a great situation." Lin Zongwu sighed, "Sometimes, they have to fight again, and even I feel a little baffled."

There is a sense of regret in the words that "terrorists like me don't understand what you think"...

Wang Nanda nodded, understanding.

"Xu Gong...has he told his senior brother about his thoughts?"

"...He Wen is so rebellious that he deserves to be killed."

Hearing this, Wang Nanda frowned: "Mr. Xu, he... asked his senior brother to kill He Wen?"

"That's not it." Lin Zongwu smiled and shook his head, "Zhao Nan told me some recent changes. King Ping Ping's mind is unpredictable. He and the other three have begun to mobilize their troops and strive to do it within half a month.

So I can prepare for a big battle. But the development of this matter is too direct. King Fairy almost admitted the matter of the reading club openly. It is so unwise, but it makes people think that there will be a reversal behind the scenes... Junior Brother is here to inquire.

How's it going?"

Wang Nanda lowered his voice: "Except for what King Pingping said that day, only the Monkey King has proven that the people from the southwest have arrived, but this matter is still quite strange. The person who is chasing Prince Pingping calls himself Long Ao.

Tian, ​​many people in the Monkey King's family were killed in Tongshan County. They said they came from the southwest, but there is actually no solid evidence. Moreover, the assassin who got involved with Long Aotian...the assassin who called himself the Little Sage Qitian,

It sounds like...a nephew."

"Huh huh." Lin Zongwu looked majestic, smiled strangely, and then said: "...you go on."

"This Long Aotian has a casual temperament and is lawless. Even if he really came from the southwest, he is probably not a member of the envoy. As for the fight between the Monkey King and another person from the southwest that day, there is no evidence from others. The Monkey King was beaten badly.

Qing, it is said that the other party is practicing the Golden Bell Mask of the Thirteen Taibao Heng Lian, and his appearance is similar to that of Hongti's disciple Qiu Shuyan, the Black Iron God. However, I have not seen this face as black as coal and his skills in other places for the time being.

Information about the appearance of the powerful 'Black Iron God'."

"It's not like I haven't seen that kid in Luliang that day, but he is darker than others. How can he have such an exaggerated face as black charcoal? You can't find him like this..." Lin Zongwu shook his head and chuckled, "However, for

Junior brother, what do you think about whether the Southwest Mission has come?"

"...Although we are rivals, the Fair Party Conference in front of us is indeed a big event. In the past, it was said that He Wen and Ning Yi were not on good terms, and this time the conference deliberately took advantage of Southwest, so everyone thought that Southwest

I won’t send someone here, but now that I think about it, I have to admit that Ning Yi is a person who does big things. It wouldn’t be surprising if he sent someone here. But in my opinion, he may not choose He Wen to join forces."

"How can I see it?"

"People say that all Clay Bodhisattvas have three parts of fire energy. Ning Yi has a lot of fire energy."

Wang Nanda did not elaborate on Ning Yi's anger, but for Lin Zongwu, he naturally understood. He put his hands behind his back and sighed.

"The fair King Hewen's attitude towards the reading club is ambiguous. Under normal circumstances, it would have immediately caused a backlash from the other four families. But because of a rumor about someone coming from the southwest, all the other families are now frightened and can only

We used the suppression of the reading club as a means to temporarily put pressure on He Wen. Zhao Nan just came here, and he is worried not only about He Wen's private contact with Southwest, but also about the people who are in contact with Southwest, not just one family."

Wang Nanda frowned: "Gao Chang..."

"These days, everyone is saying that King Gao Tian and King Ping Ping are from the same family, and the other three families are from the same family. But if you think about it carefully, although the 'King of Yama' Zhou Shang has a radical personality, but he is open-mouthed, how can he not come from the southwest?

theory. Not only did he despise He Wen for being too restrained and unable to achieve great things, he even thought that the things done in the southwest were not thorough enough. According to Ning Yi's style, there might not be nothing to talk about with him. As for the King of Ping Ping, he runs trade routes and has supplies under his command.

Feng Yu, opening and closing his mouth is the second demon in his heart. If Ning Yi is really willing to talk to him, do you think he will join in on it?"

"But his son is after all..."

"These big shots can bear the death of their son, not to mention the fact that they are only missing one hand. He is making noises and coming out to stir up trouble at the first time. Who can be sure of what his intentions are? What if the four families join forces to fight against each other?

King Pingyi, in the end, two families will turn against each other, and the remaining two families will be divided up. Zhaonan just came here, and he is worried about these things." Lin Zongwu paused slightly, "Such a great situation, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River,

You are suspicious of me and I am suspicious of you... It really makes people think, why bother?"

He was highly skilled in martial arts and was almost the best in the world. However, after entering the political field, he suffered repeated setbacks. He failed to create much of a situation in the Central Plains and Jin. This time when he came to Jiangnan, he was a little reserved at first, but then he

I realized that the Fairness Party was powerful. In the past, people from the north moved south, and all the best in the world returned to the south of the Yangtze River. Now, although the mountains and rivers are in ruins, after the Fairness Party swept through, its power has still become the second best in the world in the eyes of many people. I don’t know how many people envy it.

.

Now all parties in Jiangning are gathering, and the five factions are converging. Seeing that the situation is great, the Fairness Party is full of future, but who knows that when the end comes, King Fairness himself will come up with such an incredible trick, pushing the entire Fairness Party to the precipice of chaos

On the edge.

Even if there is some kind of struggle, wouldn't it be better to do it after the merger is successful?

Lin Zongwu felt bad and regretful for this.

"How are the foreign companies doing now?"

"All parties are actively in contact, but a few are acting strangely." Wang Nanda said, "For this conference, all forces in the world have arranged manpower, but the most powerful ones on the surface are none other than a few parties. Wu Qimei from Lin'an

, Tie Yan came to seek help from the Justice Party. He had been active in the past period of time, but after the Jinlou incident, some people pointed the finger at them. The members of the mission had been hiding for a few days, but now there is no news. Some people are here.

Rumor has it privately that they might have been killed."

Lin Zongwu nodded.

The small court of Wu Qimei and Tie Yan was founded in the past with the support of the Jurchen East Route Army, but now it is very pitiful, because both morally and in terms of strength, they have fallen into a situation where everyone in the world is killed. The Fujian court in the southeast

Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei wanted to kill him in the name of the Wu Dynasty. The southwest had already spread rumors that they wanted to kill him. As for Zou Xu of the Central Plains who seemed to have nothing to do with it, and the female prime minister of Jin Dynasty, they wouldn't mind doing it if possible.

Kill them. After all, the small imperial court has taken refuge in the Jurchens and its reputation is already bad. Whoever kills it can gain a lot of reputation even if there is no actual benefit, so why not do it.

As for the Fair Party in the south of the Yangtze River, the first to be attacked by the local tyrants for land distribution was the group of gentry and landlords entrenched in Lin'an. Zhou Shang had long regarded them as their own possessions, as food reserves for the winter. On the other hand, rationalists like He Wen, who

Resource factions like Baofeng called for rules to be followed in things and were lenient to those who voluntarily reformed and those who were not serious evildoers. This gave the other party a glimmer of hope, so they came over during the conference and lobbied everywhere for those who were willing to accept it.

He started to visit many people and even gave away a lot of gold and silver.

However, after the assassination at Jinlou, Liu Guangshi's envoy was killed, and some people said privately that in Jiangning City today, the one who is most afraid of the merger of the Fair Party is the Lin'an Small Court, which bore the brunt of the attack. Later, it was gradually spread that the perpetrator was suspected.

In the past, Monk Tunyun, the great green forest owl, vaguely seemed to have been hired by Wu Qimei and Tie Yan when he was wreaking havoc in the south of the Yangtze River.

The envoys sent by Wu and Tie naturally also tried to defend themselves, but when the real culprit could not be found, the atmosphere in the city was that "everyone has already decided" and "it's not an injustice to call you a bad guy anyway."

This tendency led the envoys to move away overnight. They hid somewhere unknown, and they still haven't shown up yet.

"...The mission from the Southeast Little Emperor is now led by Zuo Xiuquan of the Zuo family. They have been keeping a low profile for a while, but in recent days, they have been secretly communicating with others. We have inquired privately,

It is not yet clear who they will put their chips on, but initially it seems that He Wen and Zhou Shang will be eliminated first. For the Southeast player, these two are too determined, and once they break out of Fujian, they will

Encountered the Fair Party, so even a brief alliance between these two is not a good choice. Now it seems that they are closest to King Gao Tian, ​​but it is not impossible to talk with King Ping or our side."

When Wang Nanda said this, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Duke Xu has sent someone to invite you."

"The Zuo family has a transcendent status and has a very good relationship with Southwest." Lin Zongwu smiled, "If the other party is willing to cooperate, maybe they will also know something about Southwest."

Wang Nanda nodded: "In addition, the envoys sent by Liu Gong and Dai Gong are quite interesting. After Gu Anhe was assassinated, the responsibility of the envoy fell on the Monkey King. Brother knew that the Monkey King was quite ambitious.

The recent negotiations with Duke Xu on behalf of Liu Gong should have brought him a lot of benefits in private. But besides the Monkey King, there is another deputy envoy in this mission, and he also did an impressive job, which makes the situation a bit intriguing.

"

Lin Zongwu thought for a while: "Lu Zhongming?"

"It is this disciple of Duke Dai." Wang Nanda said, "Gong Liu formed an alliance with Duke Dai. On the surface, everything is headed by Duke Liu, but Duke Dai also has a lot of prestige. Lu Zhongming came here as deputy envoy.

In the beginning, I didn’t talk much with others about other things. I only focused on promoting the plan of the ‘Chinese Martial Arts Association’ to others, and made many promises to everyone, saying that as long as Dai Gong entered Bianliang one day, the Chinese Martial Arts Association would be

If it is established, the things he promised to everyone will be fulfilled. For this matter, he also approached his senior brother."

Lin Zongwu nodded: "Dai Gong is a man of profound virtue, and Lu Zhongming is also very polite. He brought a letter here, saying that if something big can happen, he hopes that I will be the president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. If I don't want to be the president,

Then he can be given the title of Supreme Elder and Honorary President. This is a great event that is beneficial to martial arts, so I casually agreed to him. Lu Zhongming acted in a measured manner and did not use my name to publicize it.

, I somewhat appreciate it.”

Wang Nanda said: "After Gu Anhe's death, the Monkey King confirmed his alliance with Duke Xu. Lu Zhongming still lobbied everywhere to promote the plan of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. In recent days, many people have regarded it as an alliance with Duke Dai.

Representative, we discussed a lot of cooperation with him in private... Of course, there is no conclusion yet as to whether these things are true or false. However, after talking to the Monkey King, Mr. Xu also met with Lu Zhongming twice in private, which was a bit of a latecomer.

That makes sense."

"Joining vertically and horizontally, even Southwest China and the Jurchens are under his control. Dai Mengwei is not an easy man. The disciples he sent should not be underestimated either."

"As for the other two, the mission sent by Lou Shuwan was led by the boy An Xifu. He was hunted down by Xu Gong and Zhou Shang some time ago, but now there is no news. There is a gangster relationship between Jin and Southwest.

Qian, if we can catch this person, we may be able to ask some questions about the situation in the Southwest... As for the other side, it is said that Zou Xu also sent a team of envoys, and may have contacted Xu Gong privately, but the news about the Southwest has never been equal.

After the news came out from the king's mouth, this group of people has completely disappeared. In our opinion, they must be afraid of being revenged by people from the southwest."

"Send out manpower and try to find the group of people sent by Zou Xu." After hearing Wang Nanda talking about this, Lin Zongwu said, "Zou Xu knows the details about Southwest. If possible, drag him in.

When we come here, as for the safety issue, I am willing to give them a guarantee. Even if they need me to take action, that doesn't matter."

"Yes." Wang Nanda nodded and said, "Now that the name of Southwest has come out, everyone here at Zou Xu has also sent manpower to look for it. As long as we spread the word here, I believe there will be results soon."

"As for An Xifu..." Lin Zongwu pondered for a moment and sighed slightly, "Let them go... There are not many old men left in Manichaeism now. Xiao An is Fang Baihua's disciple, but Fang Baihua

He is dead. He has followed Wang Yin in Jin all these years... It is not easy. When we fought side by side against Jin in Jin, there is no grudge between me and Wang Yin. If you can see him, you can bring him to see me.
To be continued...
