Chapter 540 Ranger

"The culprit, Liu Xianzhou, has now been brought to justice, but his death alone cannot repay the mistakes made by the craftsmen of Zhongyuan Mo Xu over the years. Moreover, now Zhongyuan has become seriously ill and the disease is difficult to cure. The contradiction between the craftsman and the hero has continued again. It’s hard to reconcile.”

'Mo Guhuang' said loudly: "Therefore, in the name of Mo Xu, the dean of the Central Branch, I hereby announce that from today on, the Central Court will be taken over by the Minggui Warriors. Peng Ze, Shu Ye and myself will Unconditionally accept the investigation and ruling of the Akuki Samurai Order."

"Is it useful for you to do this?"

Outside the crowd, Zou Sijiu stood next to Shen Li and asked in a low voice.

It’s not surprising that Zou Sijiu will ask this question. You must know that the Central Branch is the first of the five Moxu academies. Including this academy and other state capitals in Southern Zhili, it has more than 3,000 Moxu craftsmen. .

The current situation is just that the Minggui Warriors and Tianque Liyingwai cooperated and relied on a calculated and unintentional surprise attack to behead the members of the Elders Council and briefly control the situation.

But it is simply unrealistic to think of disintegrating the entire middle courtyard and letting Ming Gui stand up and take charge.

Not to mention that there is a towering tree standing behind the Zhongyuan. I am afraid that it won't be long before the craftsmen of the Zhongyuan scattered all over the country will come in and take revenge with the support of Ruxu.

"It's definitely useless, but it's just to buy some time for these blacksmiths to steal their money."

Shen Li had a wicked smile on his face: "What's more, he can also disgust the aloof Zhang Shoufu. This is the most important thing."

Zou Sijiu felt relieved when he saw that Shen Li did not make him faint.

"When did you, Tianque, infiltrate the Central Court like this? It's so hidden."

Zou Sijiu returned to his usual cynical appearance, pouting at 'Mo Guhuang' who was still making passionate statements and confessing his crimes, and asked jokingly.

"When you say that, it's a bit disrespectful."

Shen Li rolled his eyes and said proudly: "We don't bother to play the trick of undercover jumping back. This is a live show. And you think Zhang Fengyue is a fool. If Mo Guhuang is transferred, he Can you tell?"

Zou Sijiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, the other two elders of the Central Court, Peng Ze and Shu Ye, are also dead?"

"That's not true. There are not many craftsmen of this high order, and it is even rarer to be so afraid of death. Now they have been packed up and sent out of Aurous Hill together with the research team."

This is really a case of ransacking the house.

"So that day in the safe house, when you proposed to split up, did you know that Tianque's top management would intervene?"

Faced with Zou Sijiu's question, Shen Li smiled and asked, "Didn't you guess it?"

"I guessed a bit," Zou Sijiu said bluntly without hiding it: "But according to my guess, at most there will be a preface to the four martial arts prefaces, such as the one named Jiang Wei. I didn't expect that it would be like this. An overwhelming situation.”

"To be honest, I didn't expect it either."

Shen Li held the back of his head with both hands and looked up to the sky and sighed: "So I just told Brother Jun that we could buy him some time in the middle courtyard. It seems that those old stubborns finally figured it out."

Zou Sijiu naturally understood the meaning of Shen Li's words.

Regarding the conflict between the sect Wu Xu and the independent Wu Xu, he knew the farce in Liaodong with his own eyes.

But now it seems that Wu Xu, the sect represented by Tianque, is no longer obsessed with banning and eliminating. Today's battle in the Intermediate Court is their way of expressing goodwill and reconciliation to Li Jun.

"Actually, if Brother Jun doesn't choose to come to Jinling, our group will come sooner or later."

While Zou Sijiu was deep in thought, Shen Li's faint words drifted into his ears.

"Why?"

The moment Zou Sijiu blurted out, he had a vague idea of ​​the answer in his mind, and then asked: "Is it for Su Qianhu?"

"Old Zou, you really can't believe it. In fact, Wu Xu can survive to this day, whether he is an old man who saved his life from the 'Tian Xia Fen Wu' or a group of young people like us who are newly promoted to Xu, people who are afraid of death are really afraid of death. Not much. This is not bragging, but in today's world, if you are afraid of death, who is willing to take the shortcut and jump into the fire pit of martial arts with pure flesh and blood? "

Shen Li said solemnly: "Don't look at me. I often scold the old guys in Tianque that they are not good people. It's just me, a junior, complaining. Any outsider dares to say that Tianque is not good in front of me." "I, Shen Li, will definitely be the first to step forward and send him back to the west."

"In addition to killing those traitors, my other purpose in coming to Jinling this time is to get close to Brother Jun and find an opportunity to tell him that we are not greedy and ungrateful people. We just have no choice. To be honest , We are all good men, who doesn’t want to be happy with each other? But what should we do after we are done? Should we just lie down on the ground and wait for the little ones who have just been promoted to the throne to be killed? "

"Master Su also knows our difficulties, so he is willing to stand in the front alone to test the attitude of the three religions towards the remnants of Wu Xu."

Shen Li lowered his head and said angrily: "But the difficulties come from the difficulties. I really can't swallow this breath. Many people from top to bottom in Tianque are the same as me. Mr. Su's death was due to our incompetence, but this love for us I haven’t forgotten, and I don’t dare to forget. Lao Zou, do you believe what I said?”

"Believe it, how could you not believe it?"

Zou Sijiu put his hands in his pockets and said slowly: "Old Li also believes it, otherwise he would not go to Lion Rock today, but would finish the things here first, and then go back and kill Liu Dian. Revenge is complete If you can escape, run away. If you can't escape, go demolish the Liu family's house. As long as you can kill Liu Tu, it's not a loss."

"Is this your original plan?"

"What kind of fucking plan is this? It's just a trick, and in the end I was forced to play with my life."

Zou Sijiu laughed at himself and said: "Old Shen, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. In fact, before I met Lao Li, the disaster star, Mr. Zou felt that he was more or less a smart man. Conspiracies are readily available, at least I have never met anyone who can scheme against me. But since this reckless man threw me, a little person who was talking about the world, out of the well, I was stripped of my pants along the way. It's so clean, but it's so miserable. If you can't be fooled by others, you have to figure out whether you have good luck recently. "

When Shen Li heard this, he suddenly shuddered, as if he couldn't imagine what it would be like to be plotted against every day.

"So I don't want to worry about it now. No matter how I calculate it, it's a damn bad omen that will make my eyes dark. It's better to close my eyes, focus on it, and rush wherever I want."

"If you don't count the hexagrams, how can it still be the order of yin and yang?"

Suddenly, a vicissitudes of voice interrupted.

Zou Sijiu followed the sound and saw a thin old man with a long beard approaching.

At this moment, 'Mo Guhuang' in the center of the crowd was already kneeling and bowing his head, motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Can Yin Yangxu, who is with Wu Xu, still be considered clean?"

"A centipede with hundreds of legs can't move as fast as a snake. A rooster with two wings can't fly as fast as a crow. A horse can travel a thousand miles without a rider. People have aspirations to reach the sky, but they can't do it without luck. How can we know the time, luck, and fortune without counting the hexagrams? Life?"

"Now I am changing my life against the odds all the time. Even if I have bad luck, it cannot stop my ambition to reach the sky."

Zou Sijiu's words were sonorous: "Therefore, there is no need to calculate."

"You are so brave, little friend!"

"Senior is wise!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Zou Sijiu took the lead in bowing his hands.

"Zou Zi 108, Xu Sizhuang Zhou Die, Zou 49."

"Zou Zi has no position, and the master of Xu Sanmeng is Zhao Mengze."

No place? !

Zou Sijiu looked shocked, but the old man in front of him had already guessed his thoughts.

"God doesn't care about his unforeseen circumstances, I don't care about mine. Life is like a dream. If you take me as your master, why do you need to arrange for Zou's position?"

Zhao Mengze blinked and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I made a fortune."

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance." Zou Sijiu said thoughtfully.

Zhao Mengze glanced at Shen Li, who was full of curiosity, and said with a smile to Zou Sijiu: "I have a little question that I want to ask my friend."

"Senior, please tell me."

"What do you think about the East Palace?"

"Meng Chong, you immediately take people to dismantle the Huangliang mainframe in Minggui Realm and keep an eye on them. You must be careful with your movements to avoid damaging the access port."

"Golden beast, you go rescue the wounded. Those who are missing arms or legs will be repaired on the spot. If the body is too seriously damaged, bring the core with you and repair it later. And for those brothers and sisters who have limited mobility, as long as they are willing to follow us, No one is left behind.”

"Aohu."

Long Zong's cold voice came from Qingsi's mechanical body: "All the craftsmen currently in the middle courtyard, as long as they have oppressed Minggui in the past, don't let them go."

Aohu nodded silently upon hearing this, tightened his grip on the long knife in his hand, turned around and strode away.

After all the ghosts around him took orders and left, Qing Si turned around and looked behind him.

A heavily damaged dark golden ink armor sat on the remains of the gate of the Presbyterian Church, the red eyes in the eyebrows slightly dimmed.

"Not dead yet?"

"You bastard is not dead yet, how could I die, Mr. Ma?"

Lord Ma nonchalantly tore off a piece of armor covered with cracks from his arm and flicked it on Long Zong's weapon body, making a crisp 'crack' sound.

Long Zong was not polite and immediately bent down to pick up a piece of gravel on the ground to fight back.

The two astonishingly old Minggui, who were actually older than they were, were playing with each other like naughty boys, and their laughter was particularly hearty.

"We have won, so why do we need to kill them all?"

After playing around, Lord Ma turned to look at Long Zong sitting next to him and asked softly.

"Don't try to persuade me about this matter. Anyone who tries to persuade me to fall out with you."

"Hey, you old bastard who doesn't understand good people's hearts, I'm worried that you will make too many enemies and die without a burial place in the future!"

"Whoever wants to kill me, just do it."

Long Zong smiled: "But they have to hurry up, otherwise they won't be able to find a place to take revenge when I am gone."

The red light in Lord Ma's eyes kept flashing. After a long silence, he asked, "Isn't there still half a life left?"

"We can be considered grandfathers after all, so we can't use someone else's mechanical body in vain, right? I'm going to turn this kid into a magical weapon, and treat it as a reward from Master Long."

"Bullshit!"

Prince Ma said angrily: "What use can a new-born artifact be used for? If you really want to reward him, I have many ways. Long Zong, you have finally turned around now. You old man just wants to be lazy and give up your skills, right?" Have you ever thought about what will happen to these babies if you die?"

Long Zong said calmly: "Unless I die, the craftsmen of the other four courtyards cannot tolerate them."

"Then don't kill these craftsmen who surrendered!"

"If we don't kill them, these little bastards will never be able to straighten their backs for the rest of their lives."

"They are all Ming Gui, where is their back?!"

Long Zong reached out and tapped his helmet, "The back is here, you know this better than any of us."

The swearing Ma Wangye was speechless, and after a long time he whispered, "No choice?"

"No choice."

Long Zong smiled and said, "When I was in Ming Gui Realm before, I was too cautious and made too many choices, so you, an old thing, bullied me every day. I still often have pain in the back of my head, because you hit me with a club that year."

"Don't think you have done something that makes me admire you now. , you can frame me. "

Ma Wangye said disdainfully: "There were five gangs in Minggui Realm back then. I wanted to do anything to anyone I wanted to do, and I never did anything to sneak attack from behind. You old man, you have a pain in the back of your head, isn't it because you ran away when you saw me, so I had no choice but to attack from behind, can you blame me for this?"

"Who else should I blame if not you? Minggui, the Ranger who has the most hope of being promoted to the second order, just wants to be a pervert who shows mercy everywhere. If you could stand up and lead everyone when the five academies split, perhaps these things would not have happened later. "

Long Zong's suddenly cold tone caught Ma Wangye off guard.

He slapped Ma Wangye's back hard, as if he was venting the resentment hidden in his heart.

"I've wanted to scold you like this for a long time, and now I finally feel relieved after scolding you."

Long Zong laughed loudly, but the last slap was suddenly very light, more like reaching out to hold Ma Wangye's shoulder, and said in a difficult voice: "I know this sentence makes you feel very uncomfortable, don't blame me, brother, I really have no choice, I can only use this method to kidnap you and let you take care of these little things."

"I understand. In fact, you are right to scold."

"Don't be like this, you suddenly become so humble that I feel very uneasy."

Ma Wangye's voice was interrupted, and he raised his eyes sideways in annoyance: "You are allowed to express your true feelings, but you can't let me speak my mind?"

Long Zong laughed: "I am a dying man, what are you competing with me? Ma Ye, you have to stand up, you have to be arrogant, and you have to be more arrogant than before, only in this way can they stand firm and stand firm."

"You are asking more and more, aren't you afraid that you will crush me too?"

"If you collapse too , then find someone to take care of your orphan like me. "

"The old guys are almost dead, who the hell can I find?"

Ma Wangye gritted his teeth and said: "These guys nowadays are far worse than we were back then. They are neither romantic nor brave. They fight, drink, and pick up girls. None of them can catch my eye except that bastard Chizhu."

Speaking of this, Ma Wangye seemed to suddenly remember something and asked in confusion: "Chizhu is from your Central Court. Why don't you drag him to fight with Liu Xianzhou and others?"

"Chizhu had already betrayed the Central Court when he emerged, and he finally got out of this muddy water. Why should I pull him back?"

"Okay, you don't want to implicate anyone, but you are not afraid of implicating me. I really owe you."

Ma Wangye sighed: "What are you going to do with them next? You can't let them run away, right?"

"Tianque."

Long Zong uttered two words lightly.

"This is not an option to live a peaceful life. Although warriors can fight in armor, a good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves, not to mention that this tiger is now only a layer of skin."

Prince Ma said seriously: "If your old habit comes back and you want to repay others for helping you, then I will be the bad guy and refuse them."

"That's what I really plan to do."

Long Zong said slowly: "Old Ma, think about it carefully. Now, apart from Tianque, who else is willing to accept these brats? The other four branches? Impossible, although they are not like Mo Guhuang who degenerates to be dogs for the Zhang family, they are unwilling to offend the Zhang family for this. Apart from Mo Xu, the only choice is Only Wu Xu is left. "

"Zhang Fengyue has been keeping a low profile for decades, and now he is ready to become a living saint. It won't be long before all kinds of people will fight each other. Wu Xu and his group will definitely jump out to seek revenge. If you hand them over to Tianque, I'm worried that these young people will blame you. "

"Blame them, it's better to die standing than to live on your knees. "

"Long Zong joked: "And with your little brother here, can Tianque still force others to do it?"

"You are really thick-skinned, can you have some backbone?"

"I have too much backbone in this life, I'm tired"

"Long Zong sighed, and the strength of his hand on Ma Wangye's shoulder gradually increased, but the voice he spoke was getting weaker.

"Master Ma, do you think we can be reunited in the future?"

Master Ma grabbed the arm that was slipping from his shoulder and said casually: "Aren't you talking nonsense? As long as someone becomes the master, who would dare to split up the family?"

"Who will be the master?"

"There will always be someone."

"Then I probably won't see it, Old Ma, don't forget what I entrusted to you."

"Got it."

"Then see you?"

"Yeah, see you."

A faint laugh came from the fallen helmet. Although it was not loud and clear, it could not hide the man's heroism.

Master Ma sat on the ruins, deliberately pressing his back. The thin mechanical body leaned against his shoulder, as if sleeping.

"Yeah"

After an unknown amount of time, Qing Si woke up as if from a dream, slowly raised his head, and found himself sitting next to a scarred black armor.

But for some reason, Qing Si didn't feel scared at all, not even a trace of shock.

This feeling was as if he had known the other party for a long time.

"What's your name?" The black armor suddenly asked.

"Qing Si."

The black armor nodded, as if he remembered the name, and then stood up.

"I seemed to have had a dream just now."

Looking at the other's back, Qing Si suddenly shouted.

"What did you dream about?"

The other person paused and asked without turning his head.

"In the dream, I seemed to have returned to the Minggui Realm and saw a grandfather with a big beard on his face. He said..."

"What did he say?"

"He said his name is Long Zong, and he is a ranger."

"Ranger"

The horse king stopped for a long time, his ten fingers clenched into fists.
