He dared not to be remembered at all by the pain of separation, and the eagle sword quickly rushed towards Wen's mansion in Changlin Lane.
He really wanted to hide in a corner and get drunk, but reality doesn't allow him to do this. The only thing he can do now is to return to Wen's mansion as soon as possible and prepare for defense.
It's a bit shocking to use light skills in the surging crowd
The Eagle Sword turned to a corner of the street, jumped onto the roof beside him, and then used the mysterious skill to accelerate the flight in a straight line after identifying the direction.
Although it is still unavoidable to be seen, it will not cause riots at least. The biggest advantage of doing so is to reach the destination faster
Although he tried his best to turn his mind to the Wen family's defense issues, he was not until the Wen family was far away from his sight that he found in despair that Iori was still full of tears and a sad and sad face.
Iori...I'm sorry!
Hello Brother Eagle! I have heard of Brother Eagle’s name for a long time, and I can only see the princess tonight. Sure enough, Yushu is so arrogant... Suddenly, a black shadow rose on the opposite roof, blocking the direction of the Eagle Sword's advance
The Eagle Knife was startled and his steps stopped abruptly.
This person quietly came out and stuck his direction of moving forward. Time was just right, and this trick was enough to make people not underestimate it
He held the hilt behind his back and looked at the other person carefully, but he saw that the man had a wide shoulders and thick back, wearing a navy blue buckle, a square face and thick eyebrows, and his eyes opened and closed. He just stood casually and felt a super domineering spirit that no one else could dominate me.
The Eagle Blade set her eyes on the head of a red iron spear behind the man, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
In today's world, only the head of the gun is blood-red. The only one in the lord of Zongyishan City, the gun bully Tuoba Zhanyi's two-meter-broken red spear in the hands of the gun.
This array-breaking gun that accompanied Tuoba Zhanyi and traveled across the world for most of his life had already changed hands nine years ago
The Eagle Sword pulled out the Daxia Dragon Bird Knife about an inch and said in a deep voice
Bian Ting's achievements are great, and most of the foundation of Zongyishan City can be said to be Bian Ting's one hand. Tuoba Zhanyi's thanks is unreliable, so he can only give his beloved portable weapon, break the formation and give him a gun.
Everyone knows this allusion, so when the Eagle Sword saw the Breaking Array Spear, he immediately guessed who the person was.
Since you know that the other party is a top-notch master who is well-known across the country, how dare Eagle Sword deal with it accidentally when you don’t know whether it is an enemy or a friend?
Seeing the reaction of the Eagle Blade, Bian Ting smiled slightly and said: Is Bian Ting the following? I wonder if Brother Eagle can talk to Bian?
Eagle Blade is eager to return to the Wen family, but he really doesn't want to get into trouble with Bian Ting to avoid misleading the big thing.
He took a small step to the left tentatively, but found that his left foot had just been lifted up. Bian Ting's body tilted slightly to the right at the same time. He obviously had seen through his approach of being weak on the left and being solid on the right
Ying Dao knew he was defeated, and gave up his intention to break through the other party by force. He sighed and said: General Bian is really powerful! It seems that I just don’t want to talk, so I can say anything if I have anything to say. Ying listens with politely.
Bian Ding smiled and said: I really don’t want to do such a rogue behavior, it’s just that it’s important, and I have to make this bad decision. I hope Brother Ying Haihan
Eagle Knife was in a bad mood, and at this time he even saved his hypocritical polite words and said sneer: What are you willing to let me go? Whoever is the world has always been hard and who speaks today. Today, your fist is hard. If you ask me to stop, I dare not stop. But when my fist is harder than you, you will ignore me!
Bian Ting was not angry, but clapped his hands and smiled: Well said! It is rare that Brother Eagle is young and has such knowledge as Brother Eagle said. This world is about strength! Today, my strength is higher than Brother Eagle, and Brother Eagle can only listen to me obediently. When Brother Eagle is stronger than Mr. Bian, I should be my Bian, who came to ask Brother Eagle to survive the fittest and survive the weak. This is the law of survival.
Eagle Sword frowned slightly and sighed: I still have something important to do. If General Bian is still here, he will not talk about the main topic, even though I know that I am not able to defeat him, I will have to bite the bullet and make a breakthrough.
Bian Ding smiled and said: Brother Ying, please be calm. What I want to talk about is the question of how you and I want to survive in Xiangyang.
Yingdao's heart moved and said: What do you mean? General Bian is supported by the mountain city behind him. Xiangyang City comes and goes whenever he wants to come. Who dares to stop him? But I, Yingdao, is a notorious prodigal son, with no money or power, how dare I get involved with General Bian?
Bian Ting shook his head and said: Brother Eagle is too modest. Brother Eagle's deeds of fighting against the Huaxi Sword Sect have long been spread throughout the world. Who doesn't know who doesn't know? If you talk about the most popular person in the world in recent years, who else will be besides your Eagle Sword? Who dares to ignore a young hero like you?
Eagle knife sneered: I understand how much I have. If General Bian hopes to use this bowl of misty soup, he will try to make me faint, but I am afraid he will be disappointed.
Bian Ding smiled and said: "You are not arrogant or impatient. I did not misunderstand others. I believe that in time, Brother Eagle will become an extraordinary person." He paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and continued: But Brother Eagle is now suffering from the enemy from all sides and is alone and lonely. I don't know if he has the chance to wait for that day?
Yingdao smiled and said: General Bian is so concerned about Ying's recent situation. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Bian Tingwei smiled and said: Is it a good thing or a bad thing? It depends on how Brother Eagle chooses.
The Eagle Sword smiled and said: General Bian means...
Bian Ting said seriously: I know that Brother Ying has been in Xiangyang for a long time, just to borrow the power of the Wen family to fight against the Huaxi Sword Sect. However, after the Huaxi Sword Sect unifies Jiangnan, its power has expanded very quickly. Relying on the power of the Wen family, it wants to stop the Huaxi Sword Sect from going north. It is tantamount to a dream. In this situation, I hope to talk to Brother Ying about the possibility of our cooperation...
The Eagle Sword waved his hand and interrupted Bian Ting's speech, saying: General Bian, if I remember correctly, your family should have an alliance with the Huaxi Sword Sect. Last month, the family also jointly sent troops to suppress Guanzhong and cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Xiangyang, creating opportunities for Meng Caiyi to raid Xiangyang. The commander of the coalition forces seemed to be you General Bian... You are not so forgetful, are you?
Bian Ding laughed and said: If I deny this, how will Brother Eagle see me?
Eagle knife said coldly: If you deny this matter, then you are not a sting tiger. Bian stopped. I just hope General Bian can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise we don’t need to continue talking.
Bian Ting glanced at Eagle Knife, with a sense of appreciation in his eyes, and sighed: This is the political alliance that is about interests - profitable, everyone is a brother; if it is not profitable, they immediately turn against each other and don't hide it from Eagle Brother. The reason why we chose to form an alliance with the Huaxi Sword Sect that day was not that we did not know that doing this was a move to attract wolves into the house, but that was the real struggle we had to do so.
Eagle Dagger said: What are the difficulties? What are the difficulties?
Bian Ding said: This starts with the origin of my Zongyi Mountain City. Zongyi Mountain City was originally a horse thief in Mobei. As it grew stronger, the wild land of Mobei could no longer meet our needs. More than 20 years ago, we went through a lot of hardships to fight a bloody road south to Zhili, Hebei and took root. Although we have tried other ways to make money, including collecting protection fees from local merchants, opening brothels and casinos, etc., the way of survival of killing people and robbing goods in the past has been deeply rooted in everyone's heart, so we secretly still go out to do some unsuccessful transactions...
Eagle Knife sneered: Being a robber makes money the fastest, if I were you, I wouldn't have changed.
Bian Ting shook his head awkwardly and said: It's not that. If there is a choice, we also want to be a clean and innocent man in the martial arts world. The actual situation is to rely on legitimate means... I mean, relying on the means of collecting protection fees and opening brothels and casinos, we can't support ourselves at all. In fact, if I don't say it, you know that among the eight lords in Jiangbei, except for the Zhao family in the capital, who can eat royal salaries, which of the other seven lords is clean? Who hasn't done some shameful business in secret? Wen's privately cast weapons, Nangong family sells private salt, and Xun's privately builds warships. This is not a secret.
He continued: The He family is relatively more hidden. They colluded with the government to privately regulate commodity prices to obtain huge profits. I also heard that they often make profits by making fake jewelry and calligraphy... Hehe, after all, we only want to make money by using open fire sticks to grab money, but in this way, we have become the target of public criticism. We are called "gangsters" for the rest of our lives and cannot be "bleached". This is nothing. The gangsters are gangsters. As long as they have meat and drinks, they can survive happily. When they are scolded, we don't care at all, but even the gangsters must have the rules that they must follow to survive on their own... Speaking of this, he paused and said: Brother Eagle is also from the gangsters. You should understand what the real way of survival is...
Ying Dao's head flashed with inspiration and blurted out: Official!
Bian Ting clapped his hands and sighed: It's the word "official"! Unless it is the banner of rebellion, which gang dares to fight against the government head-on? Many people don't understand this principle and think that if you are involved in the gang, you can fight against the government with confidence. In fact, if the government really makes up its mind to eradicate you, no gang can keep it up.
The reason why the underworld exists is not because it can be as powerful as the government, but because it has been repeatedly banned, this stream is destroyed, and another stream rises again, just like weeds, and the spring breeze can blew and grow again when there is a suitable opportunity. Therefore, the government's attitude towards the underworld is like the ordinary people treating weeds in the courtyard. Since it cannot be completely eradicated, it can only acquiesce its existence. But once it feels that a certain weed is growing too lush or too annoying, even if it knows that it will grow again the next year after it is eradicated, it still needs to take some effort to eradicate it!
In fact, to put it bluntly, whether it is the underworld or the white one, the one who really becomes a big dealer in this world is still the official government.
Bian Ting's wonderful statement accurately described the subtle relationship between the government and the underworld, which was extremely insightful. He could hear the Eagle Sword's eyes wide open and nodded secretly.
Recalling the scene when the four families formed an alliance that day in Yueyang Prefecture, Eagle Knife couldn't help but suddenly say: Is General Bian implying that the last time the family formed an alliance with Meng Caiyi was the result of the secret manipulation of the government?
Bian Dingzan said: Brother Eagle is indeed smart. As soon as I guessed, I thought that the mountain city was rooted in Hebei. It was at the foot of the emperor on the side of the capital. There were many taboos. Some side businesses were a little difficult to carry out. The transactions of murder and robbery were even more careful. It often required to go to the territory of other clans to do it. This inevitably increased the risk of action. When we first moved to Hebei, we had a lot of savings, and we didn't feel it for a while. But the more we felt that it was difficult. The government had to go to the inspection today and to draw taxes tomorrow. Many businesses were not enough to earn enough to give the official sect to the sect. Even if we had a strong foundation, we had to sit in the mountains and face such difficulties. In a desperate situation, we had to seek cooperation with the government.
Eagle Knife couldn't help laughing and said: "The underworld cooperates with the government? This is a strange story in the world. I'm afraid that few people believe it when it is spread.
Bian Ding said angrily: Don't you believe it? If you continue to say it, you will understand that people in the world say that our gangsters are illegitimate, but I think the government is even darker than our gangsters! We charge local merchants for protection fees only 10% of their monthly profits. When some merchants fail to turn around for a while, we will also beg for some time to wait until their business improves, because we know that these merchants are actually our parents of food and clothing. If they force them to death, it will not be of any benefit to themselves.
But the government is different. Various taxes are charged on the head of the person. Regardless of whether you make or lose money, you will be charged without any mistakes. This approach has little impact on some good merchants. However, for some small businesses that don’t make much money, it is really a waste of business. If you pay taxes, you will have no money to turn over. The business will definitely be over. So you can only resist taxes and not pay some weak personalities. The officials will pay the money with tears and pay it honestly. If you meet some tough-tempered people, it will not be able to scare and scare, but the government cannot kill people based on tax resistance. After all, it is really a big deal and it will not be beneficial to those officials...
Eagle Blade Qi said: Why is this?
Bian Ting sneered and said: Isn't this clear? Because there are many tricky taxes that are hiding from the above, these officials and men are privately hiding from the above, in order to fill their personal bags. If they are stabbed by unfair people who are not afraid of death, they will not make money. If they may lose their black hats, they may even lose their black hats. However, if they don't eat the fat meat in their mouths, they are unwilling to accept this kind of errand fell on us, and we will persuade those tough tax-resistant households to pay the tax honestly... You also know what "persuasion" means in my mouth...
Eagle Sword said angrily: The strange Taoist often says, "Three years of Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes and silver." These officials are indeed jackals who eat people and don't spit bones!
Bian Ding said disdainfully: What is this? There is something even worse than this! Seven years ago, the Yellow River broke through a big break, and people along the river were living in poverty and starving people everywhere. The court ordered all prefectures and prefectures to open warehouses and release grain. The victims of disasters all over the country ran around and scrambled to celebrate. However, compared with these victims, the officials and men of the prefectures were even happier, because their chance to make a fortune in the national crisis has come...
Eagle Knife is confused and said strangely: This makes people unable to understand that opening a warehouse and releasing grain is a great thing for the victims! I am afraid that those officials have no money to make.
Bian Ting shook his head and said: Brother Ying doesn't understand the dark methods in the officialdom. You must know that grain officials are supervised by grain warehouses in various places. If the world is peaceful, the reserved grain will never be able to be in the hands of the officials of these prefectures. However, as soon as a disaster occurs, the court decides to open the warehouse and release grain, then the grain must be distributed to the victims. With this change of hand, it is equivalent to the old general giving them thousands of money...
Yingdao said suspiciously: Could it be that they took the opportunity to steal the food and make a fortune? But there must be a quantity of food distributed in disaster relief. They sell it at high prices and buy it at low prices. If they don’t have to turn over for ten days or half a month, they will not be able to turn over. If they really want to do that, I’m afraid they can’t hide it.
Bian Ting smiled slightly and said: Why should you steal and sell it? The granary store is full of grain. They only need to turn half of the rice into rice, and then transport the rice for sale for money. On the other hand, they mixed rice with rice husks, sand and stones into the rice. As long as the total weight is the same, these things can be done in just one night. Then they immediately distributed the grain mixed with sand and stones to the victims to traces of destruction. Everything can be done without realizing it.
Yingdao said: Wouldn't the victims sue after eating grains containing sand and stones?
Bian Ting snorted and said: "Report? Who should I sue? The provincial government has already colluded and it will be the same wherever I go. The victims are all so hungry that they are dizzy. As long as they have food to eat, who can care about the sand and stones in the food?
Eagle Sword sighed and said: I have opened my eyes and General Bian. Where did you know these secrets?
Bian Ding smiled and said: Because we do the work of the coolies, these officials and masters have to sell stolen money and make money. They have to pass on us. Otherwise, who can take over such a large amount of grain? Only by relying on us as agents and transferring it to some large grain merchants, so that their money can be safe and stable.
Eagle Sword sneered: So this is what you said to cooperate with the government! General Bian, I have always admired you as a hero. I didn't expect you to be accomplice for the tiger and make money for those unscrupulous officials... It's really disappointing.
After hearing this, Bian Ting stared at the Eagle Sword with a slight anger in his eyes, but the Eagle Sword looked at him calmly and without retreating.
After a long time, Bian Ting sighed and said: You are right! I did this, it is indeed not a heroic act... But I have never regretted doing this, Brother Tuoba and his brothers entrusted the mountain city to me. I have to take on this responsibility. In order to make every person in the mountain city have enough food and clothing, I can only do this. As I spoke, my tone was deeply desolate and sad.
In his position, Bian Ting was helpless in doing so, and he was also unlucky!
Thinking of this, Eagle Knife couldn't help but understand Bian Ting's situation, but she was still quite disgusted psychologically.
He let out a sigh and said: For the people in the mountain city, General Bian’s actions are nothing wrong, but... they just made the innocent people suffer.
Bian Ding said in a deep voice: The poor and ordinary people are hungry, and the officials and the rich are singing every night. This world is like this. There are many things even if we don’t do it in the mountain city, there will still be other people to do it... The real evil is still those officials, not just those officials, but also those officials are insatiable. Not only are the food for disaster relief, but also the cold clothes and cloth, and even the weapons and armor of the army dare to sell them... Of course, we really need to calculate it. If we are guilty of beheading, the actions of those officials are definitely not enough to kill ten times...
Eagle Knife thought for a while and said: Because of this, you are getting deeper and deeper, and you can only get along with them...
Bian Ding nodded heavily and said: We have too many handles in the hands of the government. As long as we find a reason, the court can legitimately send a large army to encircle our mountain city and suppress our mountain city. Although there are many people and powerful people, it is difficult to resist the regular army of the court. Therefore, if they say something, even if we are unwilling to do so, they can only obey our orders...
Yingdao said: So, the Huaxi Sword Sect is really secretly supporting the matter of going north?
The time when Yueyang formed an alliance was out of the instructor of the government. Bian Ting sneered and continued: As far as I know, the government is not just secretly supporting it, it can be said that it is the mastermind!
Eagle Sword doubted: Mastermind?
Bian Ting nodded and said: Since the attack on the Wushuang Mansion and unify the Jiangnan, what kind of big move has there been no major moves without the government participating? In the battle of Wushuang Mansion, the Shenji Camp was dispatched; in the battle with Dongting Lake in the Heavenly Demon Palace, both sides used tens of thousands of gangs, and Xiushui Post was burned into a sea of fire. However, the government did not send anyone to suppress the enemy that night, and it was not investigated afterwards. Even though I was a coalition of Shancheng and Meng Caiyi to deal with the Wen family, the government was also in the middle of the connection... From this series of things, every operation of the Huaxi Sword Sect has the shadow of the government, but there is a big question here, why can the Huaxi Sword Sect borrow the power of the government?
Eagle Blade was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer
He had thought about these questions. In fact, he had doubts about them for a long time, but his personality has always been unthinkable and he would not go into it, so he did not ask the bottom line.
Now, I suddenly heard Bian Ting analyze this carefully, and vaguely I felt that I was touching an unfathomable black pool, a black pool that was enough to swallow anyone up
Bian Tinghu's eyes stared deeply on the Eagle's face for a long time, and said in a deep voice: Under the sky, is it the king's land; in the shore of the earth, is it the king's history constantly proved one thing, that is, as long as there is an incident involving the government, it should be the protagonist of course! What is the Huaxi Sword Sect? At most, it can only be regarded as a lackey of the court.
The Eagle Sword has a gloomy face and can't make a sound for a long time
After a long time, he said: What do you mean is that everything the Huaxi Sword Sect does is secretly instructed by the government? Why does the government do this?
Bian Ting shook his head and said: This is unknown. I think that the imperial court has disadvantages and advantages in unifying the Central Plains martial arts world, which is convenient for managing martial arts people who despise the laws and regulations and the government. Especially after the states and prefectures lack the control of martial arts gangs, it is a disadvantage that people's ambitions are endless. Who can guarantee that the Huaxi Sword Sect will not rebel in a open way after unifying the martial arts world?
He continued: In comparison, a scattered rivers and lakes are less threatening to the rule of the court. It can be said that the disadvantages are far greater than the advantages. As long as a little smart person can think clearly, it is strange that the court still supports the Huaxi Sword Sect to unify the rivers and lakes. What secrets are hidden in this are not something you and I can guess.
Ying Dao thought about it and was very depressed and said: If General Bian took what he said seriously and was against the Huaxi Sword Sect, he was against the court, then what plays do we have to sing?
Bian Ding laughed and said: Brother Eagle is afraid?
Eagle Sword smiled bitterly and said: I am not a fool, how can I not be afraid? But I have hatred for destroying the gang in front of the Huaxi Sword Sect and the revenge of killing my wife in the future. I have long been incompatible. Even if I am afraid, I can only go all the way to the black and fight with them! General Bian, aren’t you afraid?
Bian Ding sneered and said: I was originally a horse thief in Mobei. Since the court allowed us to do so, at most, we could still go to Mobei as a horse thief. What's there to be afraid of? However, we were unwilling to go back obediently. If the court asked us to leave, it would be not that easy...
As he spoke, Bian Ting's eyes shone with murderous aura, and the powerful power that was invincible in Mobei was once again revealed.
Eagle Sword praised: It would be fine if I was alone and had no worries. General Bian's family had great achievements, but he also had this determination. It is really admirable!
Bian Ding laughed and said: Brother Ying is making fun of me? I have to make this decision, so I had no choice but to make it for it. When I formed an alliance with Meng Caiyi on that day, I intended to be wronged, but not long after, when Meng Caiyi found that I had no use in Zongyi Mountain City, I immediately destroyed the previous agreement and turned against others.
He continued: This incident made me understand a truth. No matter how obedient I am and how hard I work, I will still end up with the end of "The birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys are cooked". The government supports the Huaxi Sword Sect to the north to overthrow the Central Plains. In fact, even our Shanyi City is plotting together. If I work hard for them, it would be too stupid. If that is the case, I might as well fight them to the death, and it is better to be captured in the future!
Eagle Sword smiled and said: General Bian is very honest
Bian Tingdao's eyebrows raised and raised the old question again: After saying so much, is Brother Ying still satisfied with my explanation? Can you talk about our cooperation now?
Eagle sword nodded and said: Of course, the most important thing about satisfaction is that I can't think of any disadvantages for me to cooperate with you. He paused and continued: But... According to General Bian, we are going to fight not only the Huaxi Sword Sect, but also the imperial court. Even if we cooperate, it is probably a mantis arm to block the chariot... I don't care, it's just a death, and General Bian, do you really think it's worth it?
Bian Ting smiled and said: Brother Ying is a bad saying, a real man does something and does not. If he is bullied, he dare not resist. If he is bullied, what face does I have to stand between heaven and earth? Besides, things are not as pessimistic as Brother Ying thinks. Although our biggest enemy is the court, so far, the court has not jumped out to shout and kill, but is working with the hands of the Huaxi Sword Sect. This is where we can use it.
Eagle Biao was stunned, then suddenly realized and said happily: General Bian said that the government will never come forward. There must be a reason why it cannot come forward. In other words, although the Huaxi Sword Sect is behind the government and the imperial court, because it cannot come forward, we still have to deal with the Huaxi Sword Sect itself. As long as we suppress the Huaxi Sword Sect in Jiangnan and even destroy the entire Huaxi Sword Sect, we will still win this battle! Why am I so stupid and didn't think of this? Thank you General Bian for reminding me.
He said that, but he knew in his heart that he was slow to react because he still did not come out of the sadness of separation from Iori
Bian Ting nodded slightly and said with a smile: That's right, but I want to say another thing, the Huaxi Sword Sect we are facing is no longer the Huaxi Sword Sect's former one. Every time we deal with the Huaxi Sword Sect, we must calculate the power of the government together, so that we will not make the same mistakes as those of Wushuang Mansion, Tianmo Palace and other sects. Only by realizing this can we have the hope of defeating them.
Eagle Sword said sternly: The reason why Wushuang Mansion and Tianmo Palace were defeated by the Huaxi Sword Sect is that they ignored the power of the government. We must not repeat the same mistakes. Do you have a good plan to deal with the Huaxi Sword Sect?
Bian Ding pondered: This matter is very important, and it cannot be achieved overnight. We must consider the long-term plan based on the current situation. Xiangyang is a place that both sides must compete for, and the Yangtze River water transportation system is the key to success or failure. The most important thing at the moment is to protect Xiangyang and the Yangtze River water transportation first. As far as I know, Meng Caiyi has reached an alliance agreement with the Wen family. The purpose is to slowly erode the Wen family and rely on political skills to obtain the Yangtze River water transportation system. We must be careful about this.
Eagle knife laughed and said: It was true that Yang Si had not expected that, and I had to admire Yang Si! He could actually predict the enemy's initiative. He really couldn't figure out what his head was made of... General Bian, this matter was already within our expectations. If Meng Caiyi wanted to use this method to merge with the Wen family, she would probably be disappointed... As he said this, he suddenly remembered that the Wen family was almost in a vacuum at the moment, and couldn't help but shout: Oh no! Let's go to the Wen family... As he said that, people were already swept forward like arrows leaving the strings.
Bian Ting was confused for a moment and asked: What's the matter?
Let’s talk about it when I arrive at the Wen family, I may change later...
The sound of the eagle sword teleported from afar, but in the blink of an eye, his figure was as big as a black bean.
Bian Ting shook his head, flicked his long sleeves, and smiled and followed the eagle knife.
He really wanted to hide in a corner and get drunk, but reality doesn't allow him to do this. The only thing he can do now is to return to Wen's mansion as soon as possible and prepare for defense.
It's a bit shocking to use light skills in the surging crowd
The Eagle Sword turned to a corner of the street, jumped onto the roof beside him, and then used the mysterious skill to accelerate the flight in a straight line after identifying the direction.
Although it is still unavoidable to be seen, it will not cause riots at least. The biggest advantage of doing so is to reach the destination faster
Although he tried his best to turn his mind to the Wen family's defense issues, he was not until the Wen family was far away from his sight that he found in despair that Iori was still full of tears and a sad and sad face.
Iori...I'm sorry!
Hello Brother Eagle! I have heard of Brother Eagle’s name for a long time, and I can only see the princess tonight. Sure enough, Yushu is so arrogant... Suddenly, a black shadow rose on the opposite roof, blocking the direction of the Eagle Sword's advance
The Eagle Knife was startled and his steps stopped abruptly.
This person quietly came out and stuck his direction of moving forward. Time was just right, and this trick was enough to make people not underestimate it
He held the hilt behind his back and looked at the other person carefully, but he saw that the man had a wide shoulders and thick back, wearing a navy blue buckle, a square face and thick eyebrows, and his eyes opened and closed. He just stood casually and felt a super domineering spirit that no one else could dominate me.
The Eagle Blade set her eyes on the head of a red iron spear behind the man, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
In today's world, only the head of the gun is blood-red. The only one in the lord of Zongyishan City, the gun bully Tuoba Zhanyi's two-meter-broken red spear in the hands of the gun.
This array-breaking gun that accompanied Tuoba Zhanyi and traveled across the world for most of his life had already changed hands nine years ago
The Eagle Sword pulled out the Daxia Dragon Bird Knife about an inch and said in a deep voice
Bian Ting's achievements are great, and most of the foundation of Zongyishan City can be said to be Bian Ting's one hand. Tuoba Zhanyi's thanks is unreliable, so he can only give his beloved portable weapon, break the formation and give him a gun.
Everyone knows this allusion, so when the Eagle Sword saw the Breaking Array Spear, he immediately guessed who the person was.
Since you know that the other party is a top-notch master who is well-known across the country, how dare Eagle Sword deal with it accidentally when you don’t know whether it is an enemy or a friend?
Seeing the reaction of the Eagle Blade, Bian Ting smiled slightly and said: Is Bian Ting the following? I wonder if Brother Eagle can talk to Bian?
Eagle Blade is eager to return to the Wen family, but he really doesn't want to get into trouble with Bian Ting to avoid misleading the big thing.
He took a small step to the left tentatively, but found that his left foot had just been lifted up. Bian Ting's body tilted slightly to the right at the same time. He obviously had seen through his approach of being weak on the left and being solid on the right
Ying Dao knew he was defeated, and gave up his intention to break through the other party by force. He sighed and said: General Bian is really powerful! It seems that I just don’t want to talk, so I can say anything if I have anything to say. Ying listens with politely.
Bian Ding smiled and said: I really don’t want to do such a rogue behavior, it’s just that it’s important, and I have to make this bad decision. I hope Brother Ying Haihan
Eagle Knife was in a bad mood, and at this time he even saved his hypocritical polite words and said sneer: What are you willing to let me go? Whoever is the world has always been hard and who speaks today. Today, your fist is hard. If you ask me to stop, I dare not stop. But when my fist is harder than you, you will ignore me!
Bian Ting was not angry, but clapped his hands and smiled: Well said! It is rare that Brother Eagle is young and has such knowledge as Brother Eagle said. This world is about strength! Today, my strength is higher than Brother Eagle, and Brother Eagle can only listen to me obediently. When Brother Eagle is stronger than Mr. Bian, I should be my Bian, who came to ask Brother Eagle to survive the fittest and survive the weak. This is the law of survival.
Eagle Sword frowned slightly and sighed: I still have something important to do. If General Bian is still here, he will not talk about the main topic, even though I know that I am not able to defeat him, I will have to bite the bullet and make a breakthrough.
Bian Ding smiled and said: Brother Ying, please be calm. What I want to talk about is the question of how you and I want to survive in Xiangyang.
Yingdao's heart moved and said: What do you mean? General Bian is supported by the mountain city behind him. Xiangyang City comes and goes whenever he wants to come. Who dares to stop him? But I, Yingdao, is a notorious prodigal son, with no money or power, how dare I get involved with General Bian?
Bian Ting shook his head and said: Brother Eagle is too modest. Brother Eagle's deeds of fighting against the Huaxi Sword Sect have long been spread throughout the world. Who doesn't know who doesn't know? If you talk about the most popular person in the world in recent years, who else will be besides your Eagle Sword? Who dares to ignore a young hero like you?
Eagle knife sneered: I understand how much I have. If General Bian hopes to use this bowl of misty soup, he will try to make me faint, but I am afraid he will be disappointed.
Bian Ding smiled and said: "You are not arrogant or impatient. I did not misunderstand others. I believe that in time, Brother Eagle will become an extraordinary person." He paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and continued: But Brother Eagle is now suffering from the enemy from all sides and is alone and lonely. I don't know if he has the chance to wait for that day?
Yingdao smiled and said: General Bian is so concerned about Ying's recent situation. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Bian Tingwei smiled and said: Is it a good thing or a bad thing? It depends on how Brother Eagle chooses.
The Eagle Sword smiled and said: General Bian means...
Bian Ting said seriously: I know that Brother Ying has been in Xiangyang for a long time, just to borrow the power of the Wen family to fight against the Huaxi Sword Sect. However, after the Huaxi Sword Sect unifies Jiangnan, its power has expanded very quickly. Relying on the power of the Wen family, it wants to stop the Huaxi Sword Sect from going north. It is tantamount to a dream. In this situation, I hope to talk to Brother Ying about the possibility of our cooperation...
The Eagle Sword waved his hand and interrupted Bian Ting's speech, saying: General Bian, if I remember correctly, your family should have an alliance with the Huaxi Sword Sect. Last month, the family also jointly sent troops to suppress Guanzhong and cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Xiangyang, creating opportunities for Meng Caiyi to raid Xiangyang. The commander of the coalition forces seemed to be you General Bian... You are not so forgetful, are you?
Bian Ding laughed and said: If I deny this, how will Brother Eagle see me?
Eagle knife said coldly: If you deny this matter, then you are not a sting tiger. Bian stopped. I just hope General Bian can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise we don’t need to continue talking.
Bian Ting glanced at Eagle Knife, with a sense of appreciation in his eyes, and sighed: This is the political alliance that is about interests - profitable, everyone is a brother; if it is not profitable, they immediately turn against each other and don't hide it from Eagle Brother. The reason why we chose to form an alliance with the Huaxi Sword Sect that day was not that we did not know that doing this was a move to attract wolves into the house, but that was the real struggle we had to do so.
Eagle Dagger said: What are the difficulties? What are the difficulties?
Bian Ding said: This starts with the origin of my Zongyi Mountain City. Zongyi Mountain City was originally a horse thief in Mobei. As it grew stronger, the wild land of Mobei could no longer meet our needs. More than 20 years ago, we went through a lot of hardships to fight a bloody road south to Zhili, Hebei and took root. Although we have tried other ways to make money, including collecting protection fees from local merchants, opening brothels and casinos, etc., the way of survival of killing people and robbing goods in the past has been deeply rooted in everyone's heart, so we secretly still go out to do some unsuccessful transactions...
Eagle Knife sneered: Being a robber makes money the fastest, if I were you, I wouldn't have changed.
Bian Ting shook his head awkwardly and said: It's not that. If there is a choice, we also want to be a clean and innocent man in the martial arts world. The actual situation is to rely on legitimate means... I mean, relying on the means of collecting protection fees and opening brothels and casinos, we can't support ourselves at all. In fact, if I don't say it, you know that among the eight lords in Jiangbei, except for the Zhao family in the capital, who can eat royal salaries, which of the other seven lords is clean? Who hasn't done some shameful business in secret? Wen's privately cast weapons, Nangong family sells private salt, and Xun's privately builds warships. This is not a secret.
He continued: The He family is relatively more hidden. They colluded with the government to privately regulate commodity prices to obtain huge profits. I also heard that they often make profits by making fake jewelry and calligraphy... Hehe, after all, we only want to make money by using open fire sticks to grab money, but in this way, we have become the target of public criticism. We are called "gangsters" for the rest of our lives and cannot be "bleached". This is nothing. The gangsters are gangsters. As long as they have meat and drinks, they can survive happily. When they are scolded, we don't care at all, but even the gangsters must have the rules that they must follow to survive on their own... Speaking of this, he paused and said: Brother Eagle is also from the gangsters. You should understand what the real way of survival is...
Ying Dao's head flashed with inspiration and blurted out: Official!
Bian Ting clapped his hands and sighed: It's the word "official"! Unless it is the banner of rebellion, which gang dares to fight against the government head-on? Many people don't understand this principle and think that if you are involved in the gang, you can fight against the government with confidence. In fact, if the government really makes up its mind to eradicate you, no gang can keep it up.
The reason why the underworld exists is not because it can be as powerful as the government, but because it has been repeatedly banned, this stream is destroyed, and another stream rises again, just like weeds, and the spring breeze can blew and grow again when there is a suitable opportunity. Therefore, the government's attitude towards the underworld is like the ordinary people treating weeds in the courtyard. Since it cannot be completely eradicated, it can only acquiesce its existence. But once it feels that a certain weed is growing too lush or too annoying, even if it knows that it will grow again the next year after it is eradicated, it still needs to take some effort to eradicate it!
In fact, to put it bluntly, whether it is the underworld or the white one, the one who really becomes a big dealer in this world is still the official government.
Bian Ting's wonderful statement accurately described the subtle relationship between the government and the underworld, which was extremely insightful. He could hear the Eagle Sword's eyes wide open and nodded secretly.
Recalling the scene when the four families formed an alliance that day in Yueyang Prefecture, Eagle Knife couldn't help but suddenly say: Is General Bian implying that the last time the family formed an alliance with Meng Caiyi was the result of the secret manipulation of the government?
Bian Dingzan said: Brother Eagle is indeed smart. As soon as I guessed, I thought that the mountain city was rooted in Hebei. It was at the foot of the emperor on the side of the capital. There were many taboos. Some side businesses were a little difficult to carry out. The transactions of murder and robbery were even more careful. It often required to go to the territory of other clans to do it. This inevitably increased the risk of action. When we first moved to Hebei, we had a lot of savings, and we didn't feel it for a while. But the more we felt that it was difficult. The government had to go to the inspection today and to draw taxes tomorrow. Many businesses were not enough to earn enough to give the official sect to the sect. Even if we had a strong foundation, we had to sit in the mountains and face such difficulties. In a desperate situation, we had to seek cooperation with the government.
Eagle Knife couldn't help laughing and said: "The underworld cooperates with the government? This is a strange story in the world. I'm afraid that few people believe it when it is spread.
Bian Ding said angrily: Don't you believe it? If you continue to say it, you will understand that people in the world say that our gangsters are illegitimate, but I think the government is even darker than our gangsters! We charge local merchants for protection fees only 10% of their monthly profits. When some merchants fail to turn around for a while, we will also beg for some time to wait until their business improves, because we know that these merchants are actually our parents of food and clothing. If they force them to death, it will not be of any benefit to themselves.
But the government is different. Various taxes are charged on the head of the person. Regardless of whether you make or lose money, you will be charged without any mistakes. This approach has little impact on some good merchants. However, for some small businesses that don’t make much money, it is really a waste of business. If you pay taxes, you will have no money to turn over. The business will definitely be over. So you can only resist taxes and not pay some weak personalities. The officials will pay the money with tears and pay it honestly. If you meet some tough-tempered people, it will not be able to scare and scare, but the government cannot kill people based on tax resistance. After all, it is really a big deal and it will not be beneficial to those officials...
Eagle Blade Qi said: Why is this?
Bian Ting sneered and said: Isn't this clear? Because there are many tricky taxes that are hiding from the above, these officials and men are privately hiding from the above, in order to fill their personal bags. If they are stabbed by unfair people who are not afraid of death, they will not make money. If they may lose their black hats, they may even lose their black hats. However, if they don't eat the fat meat in their mouths, they are unwilling to accept this kind of errand fell on us, and we will persuade those tough tax-resistant households to pay the tax honestly... You also know what "persuasion" means in my mouth...
Eagle Sword said angrily: The strange Taoist often says, "Three years of Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes and silver." These officials are indeed jackals who eat people and don't spit bones!
Bian Ding said disdainfully: What is this? There is something even worse than this! Seven years ago, the Yellow River broke through a big break, and people along the river were living in poverty and starving people everywhere. The court ordered all prefectures and prefectures to open warehouses and release grain. The victims of disasters all over the country ran around and scrambled to celebrate. However, compared with these victims, the officials and men of the prefectures were even happier, because their chance to make a fortune in the national crisis has come...
Eagle Knife is confused and said strangely: This makes people unable to understand that opening a warehouse and releasing grain is a great thing for the victims! I am afraid that those officials have no money to make.
Bian Ting shook his head and said: Brother Ying doesn't understand the dark methods in the officialdom. You must know that grain officials are supervised by grain warehouses in various places. If the world is peaceful, the reserved grain will never be able to be in the hands of the officials of these prefectures. However, as soon as a disaster occurs, the court decides to open the warehouse and release grain, then the grain must be distributed to the victims. With this change of hand, it is equivalent to the old general giving them thousands of money...
Yingdao said suspiciously: Could it be that they took the opportunity to steal the food and make a fortune? But there must be a quantity of food distributed in disaster relief. They sell it at high prices and buy it at low prices. If they don’t have to turn over for ten days or half a month, they will not be able to turn over. If they really want to do that, I’m afraid they can’t hide it.
Bian Ting smiled slightly and said: Why should you steal and sell it? The granary store is full of grain. They only need to turn half of the rice into rice, and then transport the rice for sale for money. On the other hand, they mixed rice with rice husks, sand and stones into the rice. As long as the total weight is the same, these things can be done in just one night. Then they immediately distributed the grain mixed with sand and stones to the victims to traces of destruction. Everything can be done without realizing it.
Yingdao said: Wouldn't the victims sue after eating grains containing sand and stones?
Bian Ting snorted and said: "Report? Who should I sue? The provincial government has already colluded and it will be the same wherever I go. The victims are all so hungry that they are dizzy. As long as they have food to eat, who can care about the sand and stones in the food?
Eagle Sword sighed and said: I have opened my eyes and General Bian. Where did you know these secrets?
Bian Ding smiled and said: Because we do the work of the coolies, these officials and masters have to sell stolen money and make money. They have to pass on us. Otherwise, who can take over such a large amount of grain? Only by relying on us as agents and transferring it to some large grain merchants, so that their money can be safe and stable.
Eagle Sword sneered: So this is what you said to cooperate with the government! General Bian, I have always admired you as a hero. I didn't expect you to be accomplice for the tiger and make money for those unscrupulous officials... It's really disappointing.
After hearing this, Bian Ting stared at the Eagle Sword with a slight anger in his eyes, but the Eagle Sword looked at him calmly and without retreating.
After a long time, Bian Ting sighed and said: You are right! I did this, it is indeed not a heroic act... But I have never regretted doing this, Brother Tuoba and his brothers entrusted the mountain city to me. I have to take on this responsibility. In order to make every person in the mountain city have enough food and clothing, I can only do this. As I spoke, my tone was deeply desolate and sad.
In his position, Bian Ting was helpless in doing so, and he was also unlucky!
Thinking of this, Eagle Knife couldn't help but understand Bian Ting's situation, but she was still quite disgusted psychologically.
He let out a sigh and said: For the people in the mountain city, General Bian’s actions are nothing wrong, but... they just made the innocent people suffer.
Bian Ding said in a deep voice: The poor and ordinary people are hungry, and the officials and the rich are singing every night. This world is like this. There are many things even if we don’t do it in the mountain city, there will still be other people to do it... The real evil is still those officials, not just those officials, but also those officials are insatiable. Not only are the food for disaster relief, but also the cold clothes and cloth, and even the weapons and armor of the army dare to sell them... Of course, we really need to calculate it. If we are guilty of beheading, the actions of those officials are definitely not enough to kill ten times...
Eagle Knife thought for a while and said: Because of this, you are getting deeper and deeper, and you can only get along with them...
Bian Ding nodded heavily and said: We have too many handles in the hands of the government. As long as we find a reason, the court can legitimately send a large army to encircle our mountain city and suppress our mountain city. Although there are many people and powerful people, it is difficult to resist the regular army of the court. Therefore, if they say something, even if we are unwilling to do so, they can only obey our orders...
Yingdao said: So, the Huaxi Sword Sect is really secretly supporting the matter of going north?
The time when Yueyang formed an alliance was out of the instructor of the government. Bian Ting sneered and continued: As far as I know, the government is not just secretly supporting it, it can be said that it is the mastermind!
Eagle Sword doubted: Mastermind?
Bian Ting nodded and said: Since the attack on the Wushuang Mansion and unify the Jiangnan, what kind of big move has there been no major moves without the government participating? In the battle of Wushuang Mansion, the Shenji Camp was dispatched; in the battle with Dongting Lake in the Heavenly Demon Palace, both sides used tens of thousands of gangs, and Xiushui Post was burned into a sea of fire. However, the government did not send anyone to suppress the enemy that night, and it was not investigated afterwards. Even though I was a coalition of Shancheng and Meng Caiyi to deal with the Wen family, the government was also in the middle of the connection... From this series of things, every operation of the Huaxi Sword Sect has the shadow of the government, but there is a big question here, why can the Huaxi Sword Sect borrow the power of the government?
Eagle Blade was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer
He had thought about these questions. In fact, he had doubts about them for a long time, but his personality has always been unthinkable and he would not go into it, so he did not ask the bottom line.
Now, I suddenly heard Bian Ting analyze this carefully, and vaguely I felt that I was touching an unfathomable black pool, a black pool that was enough to swallow anyone up
Bian Tinghu's eyes stared deeply on the Eagle's face for a long time, and said in a deep voice: Under the sky, is it the king's land; in the shore of the earth, is it the king's history constantly proved one thing, that is, as long as there is an incident involving the government, it should be the protagonist of course! What is the Huaxi Sword Sect? At most, it can only be regarded as a lackey of the court.
The Eagle Sword has a gloomy face and can't make a sound for a long time
After a long time, he said: What do you mean is that everything the Huaxi Sword Sect does is secretly instructed by the government? Why does the government do this?
Bian Ting shook his head and said: This is unknown. I think that the imperial court has disadvantages and advantages in unifying the Central Plains martial arts world, which is convenient for managing martial arts people who despise the laws and regulations and the government. Especially after the states and prefectures lack the control of martial arts gangs, it is a disadvantage that people's ambitions are endless. Who can guarantee that the Huaxi Sword Sect will not rebel in a open way after unifying the martial arts world?
He continued: In comparison, a scattered rivers and lakes are less threatening to the rule of the court. It can be said that the disadvantages are far greater than the advantages. As long as a little smart person can think clearly, it is strange that the court still supports the Huaxi Sword Sect to unify the rivers and lakes. What secrets are hidden in this are not something you and I can guess.
Ying Dao thought about it and was very depressed and said: If General Bian took what he said seriously and was against the Huaxi Sword Sect, he was against the court, then what plays do we have to sing?
Bian Ding laughed and said: Brother Eagle is afraid?
Eagle Sword smiled bitterly and said: I am not a fool, how can I not be afraid? But I have hatred for destroying the gang in front of the Huaxi Sword Sect and the revenge of killing my wife in the future. I have long been incompatible. Even if I am afraid, I can only go all the way to the black and fight with them! General Bian, aren’t you afraid?
Bian Ding sneered and said: I was originally a horse thief in Mobei. Since the court allowed us to do so, at most, we could still go to Mobei as a horse thief. What's there to be afraid of? However, we were unwilling to go back obediently. If the court asked us to leave, it would be not that easy...
As he spoke, Bian Ting's eyes shone with murderous aura, and the powerful power that was invincible in Mobei was once again revealed.
Eagle Sword praised: It would be fine if I was alone and had no worries. General Bian's family had great achievements, but he also had this determination. It is really admirable!
Bian Ding laughed and said: Brother Ying is making fun of me? I have to make this decision, so I had no choice but to make it for it. When I formed an alliance with Meng Caiyi on that day, I intended to be wronged, but not long after, when Meng Caiyi found that I had no use in Zongyi Mountain City, I immediately destroyed the previous agreement and turned against others.
He continued: This incident made me understand a truth. No matter how obedient I am and how hard I work, I will still end up with the end of "The birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys are cooked". The government supports the Huaxi Sword Sect to the north to overthrow the Central Plains. In fact, even our Shanyi City is plotting together. If I work hard for them, it would be too stupid. If that is the case, I might as well fight them to the death, and it is better to be captured in the future!
Eagle Sword smiled and said: General Bian is very honest
Bian Tingdao's eyebrows raised and raised the old question again: After saying so much, is Brother Ying still satisfied with my explanation? Can you talk about our cooperation now?
Eagle sword nodded and said: Of course, the most important thing about satisfaction is that I can't think of any disadvantages for me to cooperate with you. He paused and continued: But... According to General Bian, we are going to fight not only the Huaxi Sword Sect, but also the imperial court. Even if we cooperate, it is probably a mantis arm to block the chariot... I don't care, it's just a death, and General Bian, do you really think it's worth it?
Bian Ting smiled and said: Brother Ying is a bad saying, a real man does something and does not. If he is bullied, he dare not resist. If he is bullied, what face does I have to stand between heaven and earth? Besides, things are not as pessimistic as Brother Ying thinks. Although our biggest enemy is the court, so far, the court has not jumped out to shout and kill, but is working with the hands of the Huaxi Sword Sect. This is where we can use it.
Eagle Biao was stunned, then suddenly realized and said happily: General Bian said that the government will never come forward. There must be a reason why it cannot come forward. In other words, although the Huaxi Sword Sect is behind the government and the imperial court, because it cannot come forward, we still have to deal with the Huaxi Sword Sect itself. As long as we suppress the Huaxi Sword Sect in Jiangnan and even destroy the entire Huaxi Sword Sect, we will still win this battle! Why am I so stupid and didn't think of this? Thank you General Bian for reminding me.
He said that, but he knew in his heart that he was slow to react because he still did not come out of the sadness of separation from Iori
Bian Ting nodded slightly and said with a smile: That's right, but I want to say another thing, the Huaxi Sword Sect we are facing is no longer the Huaxi Sword Sect's former one. Every time we deal with the Huaxi Sword Sect, we must calculate the power of the government together, so that we will not make the same mistakes as those of Wushuang Mansion, Tianmo Palace and other sects. Only by realizing this can we have the hope of defeating them.
Eagle Sword said sternly: The reason why Wushuang Mansion and Tianmo Palace were defeated by the Huaxi Sword Sect is that they ignored the power of the government. We must not repeat the same mistakes. Do you have a good plan to deal with the Huaxi Sword Sect?
Bian Ding pondered: This matter is very important, and it cannot be achieved overnight. We must consider the long-term plan based on the current situation. Xiangyang is a place that both sides must compete for, and the Yangtze River water transportation system is the key to success or failure. The most important thing at the moment is to protect Xiangyang and the Yangtze River water transportation first. As far as I know, Meng Caiyi has reached an alliance agreement with the Wen family. The purpose is to slowly erode the Wen family and rely on political skills to obtain the Yangtze River water transportation system. We must be careful about this.
Eagle knife laughed and said: It was true that Yang Si had not expected that, and I had to admire Yang Si! He could actually predict the enemy's initiative. He really couldn't figure out what his head was made of... General Bian, this matter was already within our expectations. If Meng Caiyi wanted to use this method to merge with the Wen family, she would probably be disappointed... As he said this, he suddenly remembered that the Wen family was almost in a vacuum at the moment, and couldn't help but shout: Oh no! Let's go to the Wen family... As he said that, people were already swept forward like arrows leaving the strings.
Bian Ting was confused for a moment and asked: What's the matter?
Let’s talk about it when I arrive at the Wen family, I may change later...
The sound of the eagle sword teleported from afar, but in the blink of an eye, his figure was as big as a black bean.
Bian Ting shook his head, flicked his long sleeves, and smiled and followed the eagle knife.
