Volume 4: Blue Dragon Changes the World Chapter 165: Misty Jiangnan, the two parties join forces
It was the height of spring that year, and the Qinhuai River was covered with thick mist and rain.
As winter turns to spring and those prostitutes begin to wear thinner clothes, some lean against the window to gaze out, some take a nap with pillows in their arms, some admire themselves in the mirror, and some frown and look at the flowers with self-pity.
The boat moored on the shore, and at a glance, people walking on the long street were found to be children of aristocratic families, high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and not a few talented scholars and knights-errant, all of whom came here in search of the fragrance and joined the painted boats and brothels.
The rain is heavy, but it cannot hide the misty Jiangnan scenery.
The conspiracies and bloody killings in the underworld seem to be a completely different world from here.
The young man in plain clothes held up a worn oil-paper umbrella, coughed lightly, and splashed water under his feet. Then he walked around the pavilion, turned around the tall building, walked across a stone bridge, and boarded a pleasure boat in the endless and sad rain.
The madam was wearing heavy makeup and was happily soliciting customers, but when she saw the young man's poor clothes and sickly appearance, she hurriedly shouted, "You, you, you, you, you, you still want to visit a brothel when you look like this, you better not die here."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter.
The young man folded his umbrella and shook off the raindrops, revealing a pale, sickly face. He was extremely inconspicuous, with a few small moles on his cheeks and the beginnings of a dark blue stubble on his chin. He looked very shabby.
But the madam's expression soon changed again. Her eyes were fixed. She suddenly fanned her mouth gently, then moved closer to the young man's arm and said in a delicate voice, "Oh, sir, look at my mouth..."
But why?
The young man fumbled around in his lapel and took out a bulging purse . He shook it and heard a rattling sound. He then looked inside through the hole in the purse and saw golden money rolling everywhere.
The young man dodged the madam's hand and just stuffed a silver ingot into her hand. He raised his nose and chin and said, "Master, I'm hungry. Bring us some good wine and food, and call out all the pretty girls on the boat to drink with me."
Seeing the God of Wealth coming, the madam was overjoyed and busy greeting people inside and outside the building.
After a short while, the private room upstairs was filled with the sounds of women's giggling.
The young man was surrounded by a group of girls, some picking up food, some pouring wine, and some massaging his shoulders and legs. For a moment, all he could see were soft and beautiful girls, pink arms and snow-white thighs, which dazzled the onlookers.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these women are all delicate and beautiful, with pleasant looks and seem naive. They may have been hanging around in brothels and are all shrewd people. Their eyes never left the money bag inside the young man's clothes.
They poured the strongest liquor over and over again, and after barely three rounds of drinking, the girls who had been so charming just now were now breathing alcohol, their faces flushed, and they were so drunk that most of them lay down.
Those who were still alive were either drunk or acting crazy. Some were crying and howling, some were laughing, and some were jumping up and down in the room, making quite a noise.
The madam and the pimp looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened outside the door.
The old man was dumbfounded and said in astonishment: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. This sickly guy looked like he was dying, but I didn't expect him to be such a sex-hungry ghost. He could actually do such a thing. There were 28 girls."
The madam trembled all over after hearing this: "This noise is too scary. Don't let her get too comfortable or die here... Forget it. In this day and age, having money is everything. It's just right to die. The purse will be full of gold, hehehe ..."
After they finished talking, they tiptoed away.
But they had no idea that the scene inside the room was completely different.
The young man sat at the table, sipping his wine slowly and looking to his side.
It turned out that there was still a woman who was not drunk.
Not only was the man not drunk, he even said with a smile: "Master Li, how does it feel to be served by someone? Is it comfortable?"
The woman was wearing a scarlet dress and had a long black braid that reached down to her waist. Although her appearance was ordinary, her pair of bright and clear eyes were very moving.
As she spoke, she smiled and filled the young man's glass with wine.
The young man's eyes softened, and he smiled and answered the question irrelevantly: "Who asked you to choose this kind of place? I am in a dilemma."
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. "Embarrassment? I think it's more like enjoying it. It's a pity that the goddess of bliss set up this trap for you at her own risk. Once the news of your fake death is leaked, she will be beheaded immediately. What a mistake."
The smile on the young man's face faded, and he said softly: "Whether she betrayed me or not, she will not die, and you are too curious."
The woman fell silent.
These two people are, of course, two of the three most famous and highest-ranking leaders in the martial arts world today, Li Muchan, leader of the "World Alliance", and Shangguan Xiaoxian, leader of the "Golden Money Gang".
Right now, the world is in turmoil, war is about to break out, and fighting is imminent. Who would have thought that these two people are meeting in Jinling City to plan something big.
And what they are planning, of course, is to join forces.
The Qinglong Society is the only dominant one with all the resources and advantages. If they can join forces, they can be foolproof. Moreover, there is the power behind Bai Yujing who is eyeing them covetously. If they really take action, it will affect the entire body and no one will know who will live and die, or who will win or lose.
Shangguan Xiaoxian's tone suddenly turned cold, and her eyes became icy: "Okay, then let's ask the right questions. Why did you come to see me?"
Li Muchan hesitated for a while and said, "Because I believe in you."
That’s right, compared to those allies, no one is more trustworthy than an opponent now.
Because Shangguan Xiaoxian’s situation is the same as his.
But Shangguan Xiaoxian chose to defend to the death and fight with all his might.
Now, all the forces of the "Golden Money Gang" have retreated to a hundred miles around Luoyang City, waiting for the "Green Dragon Society" to make a move, and then a fierce battle will begin.
In an instant, hearing these words, Shangguan Xiaoxian's frozen eyes trembled, as if they were about to melt again.
Because no one in this world will believe her anymore, and there are few people worthy of her trust. If there is one, this may be the last and only one.
Shangguan Xiaoxian suddenly smiled again: "What do you want to do?"
Li Muchan said, "You know."
Now, one is in the open and the other is in secret. If Gongzi Yu wants to take action, the "Money Gang" will naturally bear the brunt of the attack. However, the people of the "World Alliance" have all hidden in the "Green Dragon Society", so the really difficult ones are the more than 300 sect masters and the remaining dragon heads. The most important thing, of course, is to get rid of Gongzi Yu.
This person is unfathomable and secretive. He will not show up easily. Until now, no one even knows what he looks like.
But at the last moment before the "Money Gang" falls, this person will definitely show up.
Shangguan Xiaoxian was extremely smart and naturally understood what Li Muchan meant. She said softly, "There is another person you have to be wary of, Bai Yujing."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "I have met him before."
Shangguan Xiaoxian shook her head: "I'm talking about Bai Yujing, one of the seven weapons."
"The Sword of Immortality, Bai Yujing," Li Muchan was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "So, this person is still alive?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian smiled and said, "If Di Qinglin can survive, then Bai Yujing can too."
Although he had guessed it long ago, he was still not completely sure about this connection.
But now that it was said by Shangguan Xiaoxian, it must be true.
But Shangguan Xiaoxian's next words surprised him again: "This person could be Bai Yujing, or could be Boss Qinglong, or they could be the same person."
Li Muchan suddenly realized: "I see, then it seems that this time we have to deal with not only the Qinglong Society, but also Old Qinglong."
The Old Qinglong, of course, refers to the Qinglong Society before the seven dragon heads appeared.
He thought of the four masters who ambushed and hunted him that night.
If this is true, there must be more than four such masters.
“How scary!”
You must know that whether it is the boss Qinglong or Bai Yujing, they were all domineering guys who were famous all over the world and invincible in the world before "Shen Tianjun".
This battle is not easy.
Shangguan Xiaoxian suddenly tilted her head and smiled, her smile was a little naughty and funny: "Have you finished what you wanted to say?"
Li Muchan nodded: "That's it."
Shangguan Xiaoxian smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Okay, now I want to settle a score with you."
Li Muchan was stunned: "What?"
"You actually framed me for the massacre of the Tang Clan," Shangguan Xiaoxian's eyes were cunning and she smiled playfully. She raised her right hand and tossed the thing in her hand, which was a purse. She then shouted tenderly, "Mother Xu, come quickly!"
As he spoke, the man poured out all the gold in his purse and then fell to the ground.
Li Muchan sat quietly without saying a word.
Looking closely, it was clear that what was poured out was not gold, but a few stones dyed golden yellow.
The madam and the pimp pushed the door open and entered. When they saw this scene, they were stunned. Then they looked at the stone on the table and the empty purse. They immediately ran over, howling and yelling, "You damned thing, how dare you cheat your mother Xu? Come on, give him a good beating. He will have to clean the dung buckets and urine pots in the backyard for three days. No, he has to clean them for ten days."
Li Muchan looked at the thugs pouring in from the door and said slowly, "Wait a minute!"
Under the vicious gazes of the crowd, he calmly drank the last sip of wine, then walked aside and squatted with his head in his hands.
"Don't hit my face!"
I have a cold and a sore throat, so I've been delayed.
