Chapter 286 This is my condition
When Nineteen spoke, he did not hide it from anyone. The elder also heard it vaguely and asked a few questions in detail. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said something.
He said, "You want to find rare flowers and plants. I can help you, but the condition is that you bring your treasure with you."
Second brother and Yan Shenjue were both surprised.
The second brother repeated in confusion: "Take Xinbao with you? What is she going to do?"
"Nothing to do," said the elder. "Shen Shouyan and I are good friends. I'll ask Yao Gui to go over there, Xinbao will also go, and the others can do whatever they want."
The second brother wanted to speak, but the elder waved his hand and said, "These are my conditions, not something I'm discussing with you."
The second brother didn't say anything else. He glanced at Yan Shen Jue, and the two of them came out. Tang Qingshan stood in the yard and looked up.
The elder's meaning was very clear. He had read Yan Shen Jue's poem and knew that they needed rare flowers and plants, so he could help them find them without them having to exchange any secrets. However, the condition was that Xinbao had to go with them to rescue Master Shen this time.
This matter is not dangerous, and there is nothing wrong with taking Xinbao with him, it is just a little tiring. However, they all don’t quite understand why the old man does this.
But no matter what the reason was, he could not take it back now that he had said it.
The key is that they can't wait. The means used by the gangsters to fight against the government are simple and brutal. They either rob the prison or kill the officials. If they are allowed to do it, then it's all over.
So it was quickly decided that Brother Yuan, Yan Shenjue, Brother Tang San, Madam Lin and Xinbao would go.
Yes, no one felt comfortable letting these half-grown children take Xinbao with them, so Madam Lin decided to go, and Tang Qingshan did not stop her.
Xinbao didn't hear their conversation.
Because she was picking up peanuts with chopsticks in the house, which was also a kind of learning, and Tuanzi was very serious about learning. When Tang Qingshan came out, he pressed her head, and she continued to pick up peanuts obediently, not listening to them at all.
But after they had discussed it, Yan Shenjue came over and asked her, "Let's go save Uncle Shen, Xinbao should go too, okay?"
Xinbao nodded and agreed subconsciously: "Save Uncle Shen? Okay! What happened to Uncle Shen?"
The group set off on the journey that day.
The Chaotianmen headquarters is in Nanyang. It takes at least three days and three nights to get there. Considering that Xinbao is with him, it will take even longer. Yan Shenjue sent a message to Yan Liu in advance, asking him to stop these people's extreme behavior.
Once word of the news gets out, people nearby will definitely arrive first, so someone needs to be there to calm the situation.
To Xinbao, she was completely confused. She was carried on the horse for no apparent reason, and she was not there for a day or two!
Mrs. Lin used a very long piece of cloth, tied it horizontally to her back, and tied her to her body. It felt like being wrapped in a cocoon. It was not cold and not too bumpy. At night, she would get on the carriage and move slowly. She felt a little dizzy on the first day and was groggy and wanted to sleep all the time, but later she got used to it and could even chat with her mother.
Brother Tang San wanted to take care of his sister, but although he was strong, he was not a good rider and could not take care of her.
While they were hurrying on their way, many people had already gathered at Chaotian Gate.
Mr. Shen was a chivalrous man with many close friends. Moreover, Tang Nan's behavior was clearly unethical! This angered everyone, so everyone rushed over.
More than one person said, "Let's rob the prison at night and rescue Brother Shen!"
Now the Chaotian Sect is in internal turmoil, with elders dying, poisoned, or defecting. Huo Yuntao is temporarily in charge.
He had received Yan Liu's letter a long time ago, and hurriedly stopped them, saying, "Everyone, if the leader wanted to offend the government, he could have just called us to attack! If they wanted to take action on our territory, how could they be arrested by a few Eagle Claws? The leader didn't want to cause trouble, so he followed them!!"
"But if the corrupt officials collude with that bastard Tang Nan, I'm afraid they will resort to some unspeakable means again!"
"Yes, in the prison, who knows what will happen!"
Huo Yuntao said, "Don't worry, everyone. Our leader has a few friends. Let's try to get the people out from the government first."
Someone asked, "What crime did the government use?"
Huo Yuntao smiled bitterly: "I just don't know what the crime is! When they came to arrest him, they only said that he was involved in a murder case!"
Someone said: "Have you ever thought that these dog officials have always cherished their lives. Although they look down on us, they will never confront us easily... Why do they dare to take the head of a sect?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Need I say more?" A man named Guo Dong said, "If it's a threat, isn't Brother Shen more powerful than Tang Nan? So it's not a threat, it must be bribery! Tang Nan has been in the sect for so many years, and now his wife and children are in your hands. This is probably a desperate move by giving up all your wealth to buy a dog official!"
"Yes," more than one person said, "Brother Guo's guess is probably about 80% correct."
Guo Dong said: "But Yuntao, have you ever thought that if this is true, then the government's delay in opening the trial and announcing the specific charges is actually waiting for your 'expression'!!"
Huo Yuntao sighed, "What Hero Guo said is correct. Elder Zhongli said the same thing. We wanted to see the Sect Master, but the government only said that we are not allowed to see him for the time being. Everyone guessed that this was what they meant."
Guo Dong said: "Then you guys..."
Huo Yuntao said, "Everyone, it's not that we don't want to spend the money, but listen to me... Our leader is a close friend of Lord Jingxing. Now, I have already passed the message to Lord Jingxing. Lord Jingxing's people are rushing here. When they arrive, if they can use their methods to rescue our leader, wouldn't it be better than us taking the risk of escaping from prison and then fleeing to the ends of the earth? Our leader had already wanted to retire from the underworld, and he didn't want to be accused of a crime at the last minute."
Everyone couldn't help but pause.
Then someone said, "Lord Jingxing, I heard that he is a straightforward person? But don't these scholars always look down on us common people?"
"No," Huo Yuntao said, "Master Bo is a free and easy person, and has a very good relationship with our Sect Master. Moreover, there is a coincidence that Master Bo's disciple and our Sect Master's new disciple are brothers, so the relationship is even better."
After hearing this, everyone calmed down for the time being.
This is the special thing about people in the martial arts world, and it is also the truth that the second brother wants Liang Ruoxu to understand.
Like Tang Nan, who colluded with the government and then harmed people in the underworld, even if the people in the underworld were his enemies who had wiped out their entire family, this behavior was still not welcomed by the underworld because you broke the rules. When the rules are broken, everyone is harmed.
But someone like Mr. Shen makes friends with great scholars or high-ranking officials, and even when he is in trouble, the great scholars will rush to rescue him. In other words, they do not look down on him, but make friends with him "sincerely". In the eyes of people in the martial arts world, this is a very face-saving thing. They will "die for their friends" and will repay their friends with their lives.
