Chapter 21: The Secret Agent (Part 2)
Seeing Yin Tianyun unfortunately defeated, even the only glimmer of hope was shattered, the Hengshan Sect's hearts were as deep as lead. At this moment, they could not move, just like meat on the chopping board, and it was impossible to resist.
Song Tiandemei smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is still smart! This palm is so thunderous that it is unpredictable. The martial arts of Yin's surname is a few times higher than that can't escape!"
Lu Huaixi was very helpful when he heard this, and a faint smile appeared on his face, saying, "How can Yin Tianyun dare to resist stubbornly and not 'kill the chicken to warn the monkey'? If it weren't for his use, he would have killed him with one palm just now!"
Chen Tianlei said angrily: "Bah! I'll fight less and hurt people behind my back. Which one does it comply with the martial arts rules? You are still content with the rules of yourselves. You are so ashamed of shamelessness!"
Song Tiande lowered his face and said, "Junior Brother Chen, do you disrespect Lord Lu, are you looking for death?..." Lu Huaixi interrupted him and said, "General Manager Song, Chen Daxia is the leader of a sect after all, and we should treat each other with courtesy. Besides, we also need Chen Daxia to cooperate sincerely to create a great cause in the world." Song Tiande hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu is far-sighted and considers carefully. It is Song who is reckless." He personally helped Chen Tianlei up and moved him to a chair to sit.
Chen Tianlei was half-sitting on the seat. Despite his awkward posture, he still tried hard to maintain the majestic style of the leader. He asked directly: "What did you invade Hengshan for? We practice martial arts and abide by the law, but we have never offended the government!" From Song Tiande's name, he could initially determine that Lu Huaixi was a member of the government, but he didn't understand why they wanted to deal with the Hengshan school.
Lu Huaixi was so happy that he said: "Chen Daxia is forgetful, right? I said that as long as you abdicate and let General Song take over as the head of Hengshan, our goal will be achieved. If you are willing to agree to this matter, no matter how much gold, jewelry, land and real estate you offer, Lu can guarantee that it will be fully fulfilled within one month."
Chen Tianlei laughed: "Chen has never heard of the position of the head of the sect that can be bought and sold. Today he has become a great master. There are only thirty or forty people under the Hengshan Sect, and there is no peerless martial arts and shocking artifact hidden in the sect. I wonder which point you like this sect? In the situation where you have the advantage, you are willing to make a lot of money in exchange for my promise. Chen is confused about this, wondering if Lord Lu can make it clear?"
Lu Huaixi suddenly changed the topic and said, "Chen Daxia, if I have a good memory, the regular meeting of the Seven Sword Sects will be held this year, right?"
Chen Tianlei was stunned and said, "Yes. This year's regular meeting will be hosted by Songshan Sect and is scheduled to be held in July."
Lu Huaixi smiled and said, "According to the news I have received, the Hengshan Sect was not very ideal in the sword competitions in recent league meetings! It is almost always hovering at the fifth and sixth positions, right?" There were only seven sects participating in the total, and the fifth and sixth places were almost at the bottom.
Chen Tianlei's face was slightly red, and the other party's question was poking his pain. He said helplessly: "We are weak and do not have the upper hand compared to other major sects. But I can assert that the Hengshan Sect will surely shine at this year's Songshan Conference!" In recent years, in order to revitalize the reputation of the Hengshan Sect, he has made up his mind to practice. Zhurong's magic skills have recently broken through the ninth level, and he is confident that he has the strength to compete with any leader of any sect. In addition, the rapid maturity of the eighth generation of disciples, especially Gao Qingcheng, Hu Qingpeng and Zhao Qinghe, the three of them are better than blue than blue, which is the capital for him to show off in the future.
Lu Huaixi said in a deep sense: "It is a good thing that Chen Daxia has confidence, but General Manager Song is also a disciple of Hengshan, and he also wants to contribute to the revitalization of the army and shoulder this burden. General Manager Song's martial arts and swordsmanship are not worse than Chen Daxia. If he comes forward and invites masters from the capital to help the boxing, the strength of Hengshan Sect will definitely increase greatly. Not to mention being ranked in the top three, even if you are fighting to be the leader, you will have five points to be sure. Everyone is thinking about revitalizing the Hengshan Sect. Why don't Chen Daxia take the responsibility of the leader and let General Manager Song try it?"
Song Tiande patted his chest and said, "Just with my face, I can at least invite ten first-class masters in the capital to help him! With the strong support of these people, I want the other six sword sects to bow down and respect Hengshan as their supreme!" Gu Pan was full of energy, as if he had really ascended to the throne of the leader and was receiving cheers from all over the world.
Chen Tianlei's hands and feet were cold and he said in surprise: "It turns out that you are very ambitious and want to fight the Seven Sword Sect Alliance!"
Lu Huaixi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! Chen Daxia is indeed a wise man, and it will be understandable at one point. Whether you agree or oppose it, we are determined to win this matter. Your Hengshan Sect's elites have all been criticized by me. If you want to save their lives and continue the Taoist tradition, you can honestly tell the world that the head of Hengshan will change people from now on! If you refuse to cooperate, I will break my hands and feet one by one, and the women will rape them first and then kill them until you agree. What is Chen Daxia's intention?" Although his tone was gentle, his words were cold and bloody, and he was chilling.
The Hengshan Sect's subordinates shuddered at the same time, and no one dared to doubt what he said. Liu Tianyue was most worried about her daughter's innocence. She was so anxious that she burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Second Brother, they can say it, you can agree to their conditions. If our daughter is humiliated in public, I would rather die a thousand times by myself!" Chen Qinghua was scared and burst into tears.
Chen Tianlei looked around at his wife and daughter who fell to the ground and his disciples who had been cultivated for many years. His heart was as if he had been aged for ten years in an instant. He could die without hesitation to safeguard the dignity of the head and the morality of the martial arts world, but the other party threatened him with hostages, which just hit his weakness. No matter how strong his will, he would not want to see his wife and daughter being abused by others. The carefully taught disciples would lose their martial arts skills. It would be a hundred times more uncomfortable than death! He lowered his head sadly and sighed: "Forget it! The master is above, and the unworthy disciple Chen Tianlei was controlled by others. He was forced to give up his position as the head today. He was really ashamed of his ancestors. He died a hundred deaths to atone for his sins!" Two lines of tears rolled down, and he was inexplicably sad.
Gao Qingcheng, Hu Qingpeng and others were in a state of grief and anger. If they could kill people, Lu Huaixi, Song Tiande and others would have been cut into pieces long ago.
Lu Huaixi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, those who know the times are heroes! Chen Daxia, please rest assured that as long as you say it, the Hengshan Gate will be unharmed. In addition, you will also receive a large sum of gold, silver and treasures, which is a little compensation."
Chen Tianlei smiled bitterly and said, "The success and defeated the enemy, I have to admit defeat today! However, Chen is not interested in gold and silver, and just wants to know whose plan he lost? May I ask Lord Lu's true identity is-"
Lu Huaixi pondered for a moment and said, "I will not hide it from Chen Daxia. Lu is the governor of the Jinyiwei Nanfufu Department. He is in charge of the criminal name of the guard and is also a military craftsman. He is a fifth-rank official."
Chen Tianlei said in a lost voice: "You are the leader of the Jinyiwei?" No wonder Peng Ge, Shao Yixiong and others had to act according to his flirting and violated the morality of the world. Perhaps their disciples and families were all in the hands of the Jinyiwei, and were forced to join forces and unable to fight. The Jinyiwei's domineering and viciousness is famous, and no one is afraid of them.
The thoughts were flashing. The Jinyiwei was the emperor's close guard. He was always far away from the world of trouble. How could he suddenly interfere in sect disputes and put his own confidants? Moreover, the other party was ambitious and clearly wanted to use the Hengshan Sect's signature to gradually penetrate to achieve the goal of controlling the entire alliance. Song Tiande was just a puppet in front of the opera, and the one who was the one behind him was Lu Huaixi. Think about it a little further, who was instructing Lu Huaixi to act? Could it be... Could it be Zhu Yuanzhang, the current emperor? Even if the Hengshan Sect is ten times stronger, how could it compete with the royal family? He said in surprise: "Are you the emperor..."
Lu Huaixi interrupted: "Chen Daxia, be careful that disaster comes from the mouth!"
Chen Tianlei swallowed his words back and asked, "Why do you choose Hengshan Sect to attack among the Seven Sword Sects?"
Lu Huaixi said: "It's very simple. First, the Hengshan Sect is located in southern Xinjiang and there are no big gangs nearby. If things get big or fail, it won't attract attention; second, the Hengshan Sect has a talent withered, and now only five swords are left in the Seven Swords, which is easy to succeed; third, the identity and qualifications of General Manager Song are very suitable for being the head of the sect, and he is also very cooperative and obeys our will. With these three reasons, isn't it enough?"
Chen Tianlei was silent for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "It's indeed a good reason! Song Tiande, you will lead the wolf into the house and you will be willing to fall into depravity. There will be no good fruit in the future! When you have no value for use, you will still be kicked away by your master!"
Song Tiande was both ashamed and angry, and turned around and refused to pay attention to him.
