Chapter 38 Guest

Ou Pengqi said: "How do you say this?"

Wan Chengjiu smiled and said, "If Situ Ping wants to practice my martial arts skills in Wanjian Peak, he naturally has to stay in Wanjian Peak for a long time. This Wanjian Peak is still a long distance from Lu Town, so it is naturally not convenient to deal with the affairs of the gang. I, the uncle of the master, naturally have to do it for her. I have sent elite disciples from the gang to Lu Town to take over her Evil Tiger Gang. I only take care of such a small gang for Situ Ping's sake."

After hearing this, Ou Peng just smiled and said, "Brother Wan is really hardworking for his disciples."

But he said in his heart: "This cunning thing is to behave well if you get a cheaper one."

Wan Chengjiu also said: "It's not just to keep our secret, otherwise how could I be willing to take over such a bad thing?"

Everyone said, "That's really hard work, brother, come and have a bowl of it."

Next, everyone stopped talking about the secret land, but instead talked about the bloody world, the wind and moon, until the wine and vegetables were gone, they broke up and went their separate ways. However, they did not mention the treasures obtained by each sect in the secret land and the improvement of their respective martial arts.

In a secret mountain village between Lu Town and Pingyang City, there is still the manor that covers a large area. In a hall to the north, there are two people sitting, one is a thin young man, the other is a middle-aged man with a bit of gray hair, the Situ Liang, the Situ Master of the Evil Tiger Gang and the San Ge Zhao Master of the Zhao San Ge. The two were drinking tea with frowns. The Lord Zhao took a sip of tea, but did not seem to taste the aroma of the tea inside. He placed the tea bowl on the table heavily and asked Situ Liang: "Master Situ, it has been almost a month since there is no news about this leader. We should do this person who has never seen anyone but died or corpse."

Situ Liang said unhappily: "Master Zhao, what did you say? How can you say such unlucky words during the New Year?"

Master Zhao immediately said embarrassedly: "I'm not too anxious. I'll take back what I said just now." As he said that, he spitted on the ground, indicating that he took back what he said just now.

Then he said, "I haven't seen the leader of the gang. No one has had a good life this year. I still don't know what the future holds?"

Situ Liang comforted and said, "Although the gang leader is not in the gang, aren't all the people from our Evil Tiger Gang still there? Everything is the same as before, and we have not destroyed the gang?"

Lord Zhao smiled and said, "Lord Situ, you have said unlucky words, too."

Situ Liang was stunned, and then spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and said, "Recall it, take it back, this is really annoying, and I can't speak any more."

Master Zhao said: "It's okay, don't you all worry about the comfort of the leader."

Situ Liang also said: "The gang leader used to be unreachable, but there would be news coming back, and it only took a few days to go out at most. Now it's so long. Could it be, really..." Situ Liang didn't dare to say more.

Master Zhao said, "There is the time when Master Situ, the gang leader is away, it is just the Chinese New Year. Most of the people in the gang celebrate the New Year at home, and there is no business in the gang. As the gang is about to finish the year, everyone is going to come back, and a lot of affairs have to be handled. If there is no news from the gang leader, it seems that it will not be very good, at least people will have their hearts fluctuated."

Situ Liang nodded and said, "Yes, we must first have an agenda and not have big fluctuations."

As he was just talking, someone came to report and said, "Report to the master of the hall, there are seven people coming to us with a whip of horses and whip. It seems that they are from the world."

Situ Liang was stunned, looked at Lord Zhao and said, "Who will be this time? The gang we have had come before the New Year. How can those who are not familiar with this place? Could it be that they were passing by?"

Lord Zhao said: "Maybe, but could it be that they came to trouble us?"

Situ Liang shook his head and said, "The number of people is wrong. If you come to make trouble, how can a mere seven people be the opponent of our entire Evil Tiger Gang? Although most of the gang members are not in the gang, there are still dozens of people."

Lord Zhao was also surprised and said, "Why did that come?"

Situ Liang said: "Let's just watch it, first stare at them to see if they are coming for us, but we must also be prepared to welcome the enemy. People come to inform the brothers in the gang, be prepared to welcome guests, and also prepare the signal fireworks. If necessary, notify the brothers in the gang to return to the gang for support."

Half a cup of tea came forward and reported: "Report to the master of Situ, the seven people are almost approaching the entrance of the village, and there are no teams behind them."

Situ Liang stood up and said to Lord Zhao: "Let's go, this road in our village can only enter and exit, it seems that it is for our Evil Tiger Gang."

Lord Zhao also stood up and said, "Let's go and welcome guests."

The seven people came very quickly. When Situ Liang and others walked to the door of the manor, the sound of their horse hooves also came. Looking from a distance, the seven people were all dressed in black and had unclear faces. When they were close, everyone could see clearly that the seven people were as tall as they were, but they were fat and thin. At present, one was a young man with a handsome face, as thin as Situ Liang, but he was carrying a big sword on his back.

They came to the door of the villa and turned over and dismounted together. Their actions were very neat and consistent. At first glance, they were trained. When they got off the horse, six people stood there and pulled the reins with their hands, without saying a word. The young man threw the reins in his hand to the person next to him, walked up and bowed to Situ Liang on the steps and said, "Is it the Situ Liang, the Situ Hall Master of the Evil Tiger Gang?"

Situ Liang also quickly bowed and said, "It's just here, who is your lord?"

The young man smiled and said, "At the time of the Wanjian Peak, we will come to convey the news about your gang leader Situ Ping at the order of my sword master."

When Situ Liang heard this, he was shocked. This Wanjian Peak is not something that the Evil Tiger Gang can afford. When will the gang leader have an association with Wanjian Peak?

He smiled and said, "Master Qu, what certificates do you have?"

Qu Xiangfeng was not angry, so he took out a token from his arms and handed it to Situ Liang.

Situ Liang took over and saw that it was the token of the leader Situ Ping. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's indeed the token of the leader. Young Master Qu, please come in and talk, please."

However, the token in his hand was not returned to Qu Xiangfeng.

Qu Xiangfeng seemed to have no concern, and a group of seven followed into the villa, and the horses were naturally handed over to the people of the Evil Tiger Gang to take care of them, so they entered the inner hall.

In the hall, everyone sat down with guests and hosts, and the servants brought tea.

Qu Xiangfeng did not pick up the teacup, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Situ Liang, saying, "The leader of the Situ gang has not returned for many days, so I believe the gang is very concerned about it. This is the letter from the leader of the Situ gang to your gang. Please read it."

Situ Liang took the letter with a smile, opened it and looked at the contents inside. His calm face looked slightly surprised. After reading it, he handed the letter to Lord Zhao next to him. Lord Zhao was also very surprised. After reading it, he looked at Situ Liang and nodded slightly.

Situ Liang turned to Qu Xiangfeng and said, "Qu Shaoxia, this token is correct. The handwriting of the letter was also written by the leader of the gang, but the matter in the letter cannot be answered immediately. Please rest in my gang. Can we discuss it?"

Qu Xiangfeng said: "That's certainly, but please reply to us as soon as possible by Lord Situ."

After saying that, he stood up with the other six people. Situ Liang quickly asked his servants to arrange for Qu Xiangfeng and others to go down and rest.

After Qu Xiangfeng and others left, Situ Liang and Master Zhao immediately asked their subordinates to send emergency summoning signals from the Evil Tiger Gang and gathered to send middle and senior management back to the villa to discuss strategies for dealing with them.

When the signal was sent, the two hall masters breathed a little relieved. Lord Zhao was sitting in the hall, Situ Liang accused him of guilt and returned to the room first.

Situ Liang quickly walked back to his cottage not far from the hall, looked back, and then pushed the door into it. The small room was very neat. There was a bookshelves against the wall, which were filled with books. A desk was placed beside the window, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Situ Liang walked to the desk, sat on a chair, and looked out the window. The branches outside the window were already green, swaying in the spring breeze, full of vitality. Situ Liang's eyes flashed through the signal of spring, and threw towards the white clouds flying in the sky. After a while, he shook his head, rubbed his temples with his fingers, took out Situ Ping's token from his arms, and looked carefully with the light outside the window.

Suddenly, he stood up from the chair, placed the token on the table, and quickly walked to the bookshelf and gently pulled out several of the books. A small box was exposed behind the bookshelf. Situ Liang carefully took the box to the desk, opened the lid with one hand, revealing a small porcelain bottle inside. Then he skillfully picked up a brush, opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, dipped some liquid from the inside with a brush, picked up the token with one hand, and carefully brushed it in a place of the token. Sure enough, three words gradually appeared in the small part of the token, which turned out to be "Ping An Nervous".

When Situ Liang packed up everything on the table, the words on the token disappeared. He put the token back in his arms, sat on the chair, frowned and thought.

After a meal, the sky was getting darker, and Situ Liang was still sitting in the same shape, not moving at all. At this time, someone outside knocked on the door gently, and Situ Liang responded: "Come in."

Someone gently pushed open the door and came in to report: "Lord Situ, Elder Chu, Lord Xing and Lord Zhang have returned. They are talking to Lord Zhao now. Lord Zhao asked the villain to notify the Lord."

Situ Liang whispered, "Okay, I get it, I'll arrive later."

Situ Liang waited for a moment, and seemed to have made a decision in his heart. Then he stood up calmly, packed up his clothes, and walked out of the room.
