These Shahe Gang bastards deserve to die!
Not far from the city gate, in a pavilion.
Yan Mingshu stared coldly at the Shahe Gang members who sped past.
Whether it's him or Nangong Zhenxiang.
The reason for promoting the establishment of the Martial Arts Alliance is because of the existence of Jianghu forces like the Shahe Gang.
They run rampant in their region, plundering resources and enriching themselves at the expense of the people.
As time went on, the martial arts sects grew stronger and stronger, while the common people they oppressed became increasingly unable to hold their heads high.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was merely the nominal ruler of the thirteen states of the Great Zhou.
In reality, in various regions, the powerful and wealthy have long been colluding with martial arts sects.
Whether it's the imperial court or the royal family!
They are all too far removed from ordinary people.
They cannot hear the voices of the people, and the people cannot see them.
If you want to change the status quo as quickly as possible, you can only start with the martial arts world.
Relying on the officials in the imperial court will not solve the fundamental problem.
Establish the Martial Arts Alliance to use the martial arts world to check and balance other martial arts worlds.
Once those officials take the first step, they will naturally know how to choose.
Thinking of this, Yan Mingshu felt somewhat frustrated.
A scholar is useless; he has never longed for power as much as he does today.
Li Fan, you absolutely have to hold on!
etc!
Why did I have this thought?
Li Fan is risking his life, so why should I hide here?
When did I, Yan Mingshu, become so afraid of death?
"Nan Jun, do you dare to come back to the manor with me!"
Yan Mingshu looked at Liu Nanjun.
Liu Nanjun cupped his hands in a fist salute, "I would gladly die for you!"
......
"This is a restricted area of the county government; unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering!"
Snap!
Before the two constables could get close, a whip lashed out like a venomous snake.
The immense force sent both of them flying.
The person who made the move had a sinister face and a black mole the size of a fist on his face.
Huang Dafa tightened his grip on the reins and said coldly, "Tell your magistrate to get out here immediately and tell him that Vice Chief He of the Shahe Gang in Tianguang County has arrived!"
Their arrogant words showed they completely disregarded the officials of Guangnan County.
Shahe Gang!
Upon hearing this name, the constables who were about to step forward panicked.
One of them whispered, "Gentlemen, I'll go inform my master right now, please wait a moment!"
"Erbao, Zhang Qiang, Li Ming, immediately pour tea for these gentlemen!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away, and the yamen runners who had heard his instructions also ran into the yamen.
......
"The Lin family really has a lot of good stuff!"
Deep within the courtyard of the county government office, Wei Wenyuan was playing with two pieces of white jade.
The jade is warm and smooth, and feels like a woman's delicate skin when held in your hand.
In Wei Wenyuan's mind, the image of his thirty-six concubines, with their delicate, snow-white skin, involuntarily surfaced...
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
"The Shahe Gang has arrived."
Upon hearing Lin Tao's voice, Wei Wenyuan immediately stood up.
"You idiot, you said I wasn't here!"
Wei Wenyuan turned around and prepared to run.
The Shahe Gang are a bunch of thugs, and they're really vicious.
The magistrate of the neighboring Guangshui County recently arrested a member of the Shahe Gang who had raped a woman.
As a result, because the Shahe Gang member was the illegitimate son of a high-ranking member of the Shahe Gang, the county magistrate was assassinated the next day.
Not only that, his family was also implicated; the men were exiled to the frontier, and all the women were sent to the brothels.
Faced with such a colossal creature that could crush him with a flick of its wrist, Wei Wenyuan didn't even have time to dodge.
"Lord Wei, those fools at the gate have already told you that you're in the county office!"
Lin Tao quickly stopped Wei Wenyuan, "Sir, there's no need to panic."
“We haven’t offended the Shahe Gang, nor have we gained any benefit from confiscating the Lin family’s property.”
“The Shahe Gang has no reason to attack you. They are only here to deal with Li Fan.”
After hearing Lin Tao's analysis, Wei Wenyuan finally understood.
yes!
I didn't offend them.
......
"Wei Wenyuan, the magistrate of Guangnan County, greets Chief He!"
Wei Wenyuan jogged out of the county government office.
Upon seeing He Yishen, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully, as if the person before him were his superior.
"Magistrate Wei, you're too kind!"
"You know that the leader of the Black Tiger Hall of my Shahe Gang was killed, right?"
"Reporting to Chief He, I am naturally aware of this matter."
"I had already ordered the police to arrest Li Fan."
"But then Yan Mingshu, the advisor of the Zhenwu Division of Guangnan County, interfered."
"As you know, he's my equal in rank, but only under the jurisdiction of the Zhenwu Division. There's nothing I can do about him!"
Wei Wenyuan had already prepared his words before he came out.
"Alright, enough nonsense!"
"Tell me, is Li Fan still in the city?"
"Chief He, that scoundrel Li Fan is currently at Yan Mingshu's residence!"
"Not only that, in the past two days, Yan Mingshu and he have also gathered all the martial arts forces in the city to form the Martial Arts Alliance."
"They are now very powerful and influential in the city."
"Even I, the county magistrate, am powerless against them!"
As Wei Wenyuan spoke, he began to cry. Wiping away his tears, he said, "Chief He, you must do justice for me!"
You truly live up to your reputation, you're incredibly skilled!
Standing behind Wei Wenyuan, Lin Tao was utterly astonished.
This one skill alone is enough for him to learn for a lifetime.
He Yishen was very satisfied with Wei Wenyuan's attitude.
This feeling is great!
"Lord Wei, stop crying! Today I will act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice!"
"Go and order the city guards to seal off the gates of Guangnan County."
"From now on, entry and exit from Guangnan County is prohibited."
"Send someone to summon all the constables in the county to assemble at the county government office."
"In addition, send someone to notify all forces that have joined the Martial Arts Alliance, and give them two hours to gather all their martial artists at the county government office."
"Anyone who dares not come will face the consequences!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Lin Tao, immediately carry out Chief He's instructions!"
Once Lin Tao and his men had started moving, Wei Wenyuan stepped forward and took the reins. "Chief He, you must be tired from your journey. Why don't you rest at the county office first and recharge your energy?"
"Hahaha, very good, Magistrate Wei is a remarkable man!"
......
"Boss, the Shahe Gang is here. They went to the county government office. What should we do?"
A figure rushed into the constable's office.
Almost at the same time he entered, a chanting sound came from outside.
"Butler Lin has arrived!"
The Shahe Gang is here!
A glint of light flashed in Li Feiyu's eyes.
"Chief Constable Li, the magistrate has ordered you to immediately summon all the constables from the county government office!"
"I see!"
"Liu Zi, gather the men!"
"Yes, sir!"
......
"Reporting to the Chief Constable, all constables in the county have been notified."
"521 people were expected, and 315 people were present!"
"knew!"
Li Feiyu stood up and looked at everyone.
"The Shahe Gang is here; they're here to kill Li Fan."
"The magistrate asked me to take you to the county government office, but I don't intend to go."
“I don’t think Li Fan did anything wrong, so I plan to stand by his side.”
"If you don't want to fight, just send a note and go back to recuperate."
"Those who wish to gather at the county government office, please go there!"
Li Feiyu, carrying a knife, walked towards the outside of the county government office.
"When a man dies, his eggs face the sky; if he doesn't die, he'll live for ten thousand years! Li Tou, I'll go with you!"
A voice came from the crowd.
The constable nicknamed Liu Zi jogged to catch up.
"Damn it, I'll do it too!"
"So what if it's the Shahe Gang? I'm all alone."
"We all have one head and one life, who's afraid of who!"
People kept stepping out from the crowd.
In the end, a total of 98 people followed, while the remaining 200-plus people all handed over notes to go home and recuperate.
......
Upon receiving the news, a glint of light flashed in Liu Shi's eyes.
Finally, someone has arrived.
For the past three days, he had been waiting for the Shahe Gang to arrive.
He had already gathered all the members of the Blood Sword Hall.
"Brothers, today is the day we take back everything that belongs to us."
"Join the Shahe Gang and wipe out this villain Li Fan!"
"Kill Li Fan and take back what belongs to us!"
One by one, the Blood Sword Hall warriors roared in response.
......
The gates of the Big Sword Sect were tightly shut.
Inside the courtyard, rows of brand-new crossbows were laid out on the ground.
This is what the Great Sword Sect has accumulated over the years.
Even during their last encounter with He Xuejiantang, Wang Taibao did not use these powerful weapons.
"The Shahe Gang is here!"
"But this time, I've decided not to take their side!"
"I want to take a gamble."
"Win, and you'll rise to great heights!"
"Defeat means certain death!"
"We've been brothers for so many years, I won't force you."
"Put down your weapons, walk out the door, and I'll pretend I never had a brother like you."
"Grab your bows and crossbows, take your swords, and come with me to the Zhenwu Division for a bloody battle. Then we'll still be brothers!"
"Boss, even though you're fucking crazy, I want to go crazy with you!"
A burly man grinned and then casually picked up a crossbow.
"If Zhang Dabiao isn't afraid of death, then I, Wang Xiaohu, have no reason to be!"
"Hehe, count me in!"
"Brother, if I survive this time, you have to take me to the Red Sleeve Pavilion for ten days and ten nights."
"So what if it's the Shahe Gang? This is Guangnan County!"
"Let's fight them!"
"I've never used a crossbow before, so I'll practice on the Shahe Gang members."
......
At the Tieshan Martial Arts School, more than thirty martial arts instructors mounted their horses and headed towards the Zhenwu Division.
When Hu Fei was being sent away, Hu Tieshan had already made his choice.
......
"Father, everyone's here!"
"Um!"
Let's go!
"Father, are you really planning to go down this dark path?"
Zhang Jiarong said in a low voice, "Although you broke through with the help of the Innate Pill, the opponent is the Shahe Gang."
"Li Fan and Yan Mingshu are no match for the Shahe Gang. We'll all die!"
"Jiarong, this may be the last piece of advice your father will ever give you, but I still hope you will listen to it."
Zhang Hu calmly said, "Since we've decided to join forces, we'll fight to the death."
"You are a martial artist, not a fence-sitter!"
"No matter how strong the enemy is, we must dare to fight."
