Chapter 114 Gong Hongdou
Ling Chan waved her hands, "Masters, please don't worry about me..."
"If the head of the Gong family really kidnapped the mermaid, how could we who are traveling with him let him succeed?" Luo Nanfeng retracted his gaze and continued.
Gong Zhou didn't believe it at all. He insisted on his own idea with an extremely firm look in his eyes, "You are all in the same group, of course you will help him."
Gong Taining shook his head at Luo Nanfeng, "Master Luo, there's no need to explain to him. He's gone berserk."
Luo Nanfeng sighed. The young masters of the Gong family were all very good. He was quite moved when the three died. He didn't expect that the surviving Gong Zhou...
Fortunately, Gong Yi is still alive.
"I didn't! I didn't!" Gongzhou only had his mouth tough, but facing so many people, he could only repeat this sentence.
Ling Chan felt uncomfortable when she heard his sharp voice.
Then I thought about how Gong Taining and Gong Yi had been silenced by him for so many years...
Ling Chan stepped forward, grabbed Gongzhou's chin, and forced him to open his mouth.
She clamped his tongue between the finger with the shock ring and pressed the ring against the surface of his tongue.
The current released, and Gongzhou whimpered, trembling all over, tears streaming down his face. His tongue, pulled out, was instantly burned by the current...
Ling Chan let go of her hands, and Gong Zhou lay on the ground with his hands and feet trembling in pain, his mouth wide open but unable to make a sound.
"Mmmmm, wuwuwu, ahhhh..."
When the others saw this scene, their faces changed.
Too, too, too... so straightforward, so cruel...
Hongdou handed over a handkerchief in time. Ling Chan wiped her hands thoroughly and then threw the handkerchief on the ground.
"Gongzhou, you've silenced my grandfather and uncle for over a decade, taking pleasure in torturing them. Today, I'll let you experience the feeling of being speechless."
Gongzhou turned around with his hands covering his mouth, staring at Ling Chan like a poisonous snake.
Ling Chan sneered. The current Gongzhou... no, neither the previous Gongzhou nor the current Gongzhou had ever posed any threat to her.
Looking at himself this way will only make him feel more accomplished.
Jiuzhen went to mobilize troops and came back at this time.
Four thousand soldiers surrounded Floating Cloud Villa, making it impossible for anyone to escape.
Jiu Zhen brought Zhu Xu and a group of soldiers to the arena, "Your Majesty, I am late."
Ling Chan: "It's not too late, it's your turn now."
"Gongzhou is colluding with Dahe, intending to disrupt our Daqi. General Zhu, Jiuzhen, you lead your men to search the Gong family thoroughly and find evidence of his collusion with Dahe."
"Yes." Zhu Xu took the order and led the soldiers to search the Gong family.
Jiu Zhen tied up Gong Zhou first, and then went to help Zhu Xu.
Gong Taining had no objection to this.
"This time we are all thanks to the medical genius of Qingyi Tower, otherwise we would really be doomed." The crisis was resolved, and everyone was a little scared. It was just a little bit short, so many people would have died here.
The key point is that this time the leaders of each sect brought with them disciples with better qualifications. If they all died here, half of the Daqi martial arts world would collapse.
"Yes, we have to thank Qingyi Tower and the princess."
Ling Chan accepted everyone's compliments without hesitation.
When they had almost finished complimenting her, she spoke directly, "Since everyone thinks that it was Qingyi Tower that saved them, then..."
"Then the position of leader of the martial arts world... belongs to our Qingyi Tower. I think everyone has no objection to that, right?"
As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent.
Everyone... looked at me, I looked at you, completely not knowing how to respond.
Ling Chan spread her hands. "Why? Does anyone have any opinions?"
Everyone remembered how she had just silenced Gongzhou, so how could they dare to raise any objections?
"Since no one says anything, I'll take it as your agreement."
"But..." Luo Nanfeng came back to his senses from her directness, "The princess is a member of the imperial court..."
People from the imperial court cannot become leaders of the martial arts world. This is the rule of the martial arts world.
"Master Luo means that this princess must return to the capital and take off her princess uniform before she can become the leader of the martial arts world?"
Luo Nanfeng glanced at the others, including Jiang Chenyang from Juxian Villa.
As everyone said, Qingyi Tower saved everyone's lives. Not only did the medical immortal Gong Zi give so many medicines, but the girls in Qingyi Tower also stopped the attacks of the Da He people.
"This..." Luo Nanfeng was very embarrassed.
Jiang Chenyang came to the rescue of his old friend in time, "Master Luo, Qingyi Tower saved everyone's lives this time, and the princess remained calm and composed in the face of danger."
"It's not impossible for Qingyi Tower to take over the position of leader of the martial arts world."
He looked at Ling Chan and said, "Although the princess is from the imperial court, she is also a descendant of the Gong family and can be considered half a Jianghu person."
"But... the rules of the martial arts world cannot be broken."
Ling Chan looked at him quietly, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"How about the princess pass the position of the owner of Qingyi Tower to the girls in the tower, and let them serve as the leaders of the martial arts world." Jiang Chenyang said.
He also sought support from Luo Nanfeng, "This way, it won't be considered as breaking the rules of the martial arts world. Master Luo, what do you think?"
What he didn't say explicitly was... In this way, Ling Chan could also learn about what was happening in the martial arts world through the girl in the building and make some arrangements.
It's equivalent to...'ruling from behind the scenes'.
Ling Chan rolled her eyes upon hearing this and looked back at Hongdou.
Hongdou looked at her blankly and blinked innocently.
"Then let's go with her." Ling Chan pointed at Hongdou, "She is the person this princess trusts the most, her name is Gong Hongdou."
Hongdou was stunned at the moment, pointing at herself in surprise. She?
What does "Miss..." mean?
Hongdou's confusion contrasted with the astonishment of the others, and everyone was at a loss.
But friendship is the most important thing in the martial arts world. Ling Chan saved them, and they must repay this favor.
then...
Many people in the martial arts world clasped their fists and said to Hongdou, "Greetings to the leader of the martial arts world."
Ling Chan slowly walked up to Hongdou, gave her an affirmative look, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Hongdou, I want you to be the leader of the martial arts world, to rule the martial arts world for me, to lead the people of the martial arts world... to do everything in your power for the court and the people."
Hongdou is no longer the Hongdou in the backyard of Ling Mansion in the capital.
She has grown up, although in front of Ling Chan, she is still the same as before.
Hongdou looked in the direction of the people in the martial arts world and repeated Ling Chan's words in her mind.
The lady wants her to become the leader of the martial arts world... The lady wants her...
Hongdou straightened her back, slowly turned towards them, cupped her fists, and said loudly, "Dear martial arts seniors, from now on, I, Gong Hongdou, will be the owner of Qingyi Tower and the leader of the Daqi martial arts world. Hongdou's experience in the martial arts world is still relatively new, so I would appreciate your guidance."
Neither humble nor arrogant, very good, Ling Chan was very satisfied.
"Since the leader of the martial arts world has been chosen, let's discuss the recent events in the martial arts world and ask the leader of the martial arts world for his advice." Luo Nanfeng said.
When Bi Hong, the leader of Qingshan Sect, woke up, the matter of becoming the leader of the martial arts world had already been settled. No matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do.
The martial arts conference continued, but there was no fighting competition. They directly started dealing with the problems in the martial arts world.
Ling Chan asked Hongdou to uphold the principle that everyone in the martial arts world is one family, and that they should not make things too ugly. Instead, they should help each other, support each other, and make progress and develop together...
If you feel that your interests have been damaged, you can make up for it through other means, such as the court providing more conveniences.
In addition to the mutual help between martial arts sects, the martial arts world and the imperial court also need to help each other.
So Hongdou also raised the issue of martial arts sects, and everyone started to discuss and solve the problems that have existed in the martial arts world and the court for a long time.
Zhu Xu and Jiu Zhen also made some gains.
Jiuzhen had been to Gongzhou's basement, so this time he took Zhu Xu directly there.
They found several letters in the underground secret room, including the ones Ling Chan and the others had seen last time, and several others.
In front of Jiu Zhen and other soldiers, Zhu Xu opened the letters and read the contents.
His expression changed and he quickly put the letter back in its place.
"General Zhu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with these letters?" Jiu Zhen pretended that he had never seen these letters before.
Zhu Xu's face was cautious. "Master Jiuzhen, I'm sorry I can't show you these letters."
Jiuzhen showed a surprised expression, "..."
Zhu Xu was the first to leave the secret passage and said, "Continue searching."
Jiuzhen followed him out and saw him heading towards the arena.
Zhu Xu arrived at the arena. Hongdou was presiding over the martial arts conference, and Xiao Jin and Ling Chan were in attendance.
He walked straight to Xiao Jin and whispered in her ear for a long time.
During this time, Xiao Jin glanced at Ling Chan.
Ling Chan pretended not to see anything and concentrated on admiring Hongdou's condition.
Although this girl looked back at him from time to time, she still had her own unique insights into the questions raised by everyone. When she proposed solutions, she would also ask Xiao Jin to see if the court would support it.
The atmosphere is very harmonious...
Zhu Xu found several letters in Gongzhou's study, some of which contained the same contents as Xiao Jin had read.
But there are a few more letters... Xiao Jin hasn't read them, and those letters are signed by Rong An.
Rong An, the younger brother of the current empress dowager and the emperor's uncle, actually colluded with Gongzhou to sell out the country.
Zhu Xu was a military general who was stationed in Qingzhou all year round. He didn't understand the intricacies of the capital. What he proposed to Xiao Jin was to present the evidence directly to the emperor and let the emperor make the decision.
How could he know that if he sent these letters directly to the capital...
I'm afraid he will be kidnapped as soon as he arrives in the capital.
"General Zhu, Gongzhou is a Dahe people. I don't know what will happen on the way to the capital."
"Why don't you and the people of Jianghu escort him to the capital? As for these letters, you should personally present them to the emperor."
"This will also ease the long-standing conflict between the imperial court and the people of Jianghu..."
Zhu Xu thought about it and said, "Okay, then do as the prince says."
Hongdou consulted the martial artists and selected several leaders to escort Gongzhou to the capital along with Xiao Jin, Ling Chan and Zhu Xu.
There are Luo Nanfeng, Jiang Chenyang, Gong Taining, Bi Hong, Ding Bo, and Sikong Cheng'an.
The next day, Hongdou reluctantly held Lingchan's hand, "Miss..."
Ling Chan grabbed Hongdou's hand and said, "Hongdou, stay in Qingzhou first. After you have built up the base of Qingyi Tower, come back to the capital with Gong Lan and Gong Yu to find me."
Hongdou nodded heavily, "Miss, don't worry, I will do my best."
Ling Chan gently pulled Hongdou into her arms, stroking her hair with both hands. "If you have anything to discuss, please discuss it with Gong Lan and Gong Yu, or you can discuss it with my uncle."
Anko nodded in her arms, "Yeah."
After the two separated, Ling Chan saw Gong Dian walking towards her.
"Alliance leader." Gong Dian clasped his fists and called Ling Chan.
Ling Chan gestured for him to speak directly if he had anything to say.
"Excuse me, Alliance Leader. Was it you who fought with me in the palace?" Gong Dian already had the answer in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it with Ling Chan.
The hidden weapon Ling Chan used yesterday was the same one used by the owner of Qingyi Tower that night.
But this time the hidden weapon was faster than the last time, and even if she saw her hook hand, she couldn't dodge it.
Ling Chan smiled and said, "That's me."
Gong Dian had secretly decided that when he met the owner of Qingyi Tower again, he would kill her to avenge his apprentice and the apprentices of Gong Shan, Gong Xin, and Gong Zhi.
But so...
The owner of Qingyi Tower is the granddaughter of the head of the family and a young lady of the Gong family.
It was the leader of the martial arts world... who saved their lives.
Besides, he went to the palace on Gongzhou's orders. Who knows what kind of deal Gongzhou had with the Queen Mother?
From this perspective, he was at fault first.
Then...the hatred can only be let go.
"Princess, I heard something when I was in the palace." After letting go of his hatred, Gong Dian also wanted to do her a favor.
"What's up?"
Gong Dian said, "The Queen Mother poisoned the Princess. Although I didn't hear what the poison was, Princess... you should still let the Medical Immortal take a look at you."
Ling Chan spread out her hands and said mischievously, "Great Elder, do you think this princess looks like she's been poisoned?"
Gong Dian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "That's great."
After leaving Fuyun Villa, everyone set off for the capital.
Zhu Xu found those letters and their contents, but he never told anyone else. Only Xiao Jin knew about it.
He thought that no one would know except them, but he didn't expect that in the places they passed, the news about Rong An colluding with the Dahe people to sell out the secrets of Daqi, which led to successive defeats on the border, and that the Queen Mother might be involved, spread like wildfire.
As they walked, the news spread, and by the time they reached the capital, the news had become known to all the people.
The news also reached the palace, and all the masters in the palace heard about it.
Of course, these people reacted differently after hearing this.
After hearing the news, Rong An went to the palace immediately. Instead of looking for Rong Ruxiang to discuss countermeasures, he went directly to Xiao Heng to express his loyalty to him and to protest his injustice.
"Your Majesty, it must be Prince Rui who framed me."
"I am loyal to the Emperor, how could I possibly collude with the Dahe people?"
"Your Majesty, please investigate carefully, please investigate carefully."
Xiao Heng had a stern face, he had already known the news.
He has always supported Rong An and trusted him very much.
But compared to Rong An, he knows Xiao Jin better.
His royal brother has always been upright. Although he was targeted by Rong An before, Xiao Jin never did anything to Rong An.
Therefore, Xiao Heng believed that Xiao Jin would not frame Rong An.
What's more, there was Zhu Xu and so many sect leaders to testify, and they also brought back many corpses of Da He's spies.
Many things flashed through Xiao Heng's mind at this moment, such as the repeated defeats at the border and Rong An's constant desire to replace Ling Rui with his own people...
So many things...
Xiao Heng looked down at Rong An's head with an inexplicable expression. His father-in-law Fu Lu beside him couldn't help but tremble.
"It's too early to talk about this now. Let's wait until Prince Rui comes back."
