Chapter 529 New Season
Following the sound, I saw a huge group of people gathered around the chess field.
Surrounded by these people were two groups of ferocious looking men.
The topic of their argument at this time was the hot topic that had been making headlines recently - the life experience of the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Your emperor is so incompetent. He is not from the Zhao family anyway. It would be better for him to abdicate and let my brother sit on the throne."
"You thief are so arrogant, you're asking for a fight!"
"Afraid you won't succeed?"
“Fight…fight…!!”
The group on the left believed that the Northern Song emperor was Guan Qi's offspring, and they kept saying all kinds of nonsense, speaking without any scruples in front of the crowd;
The group on the right clearly sided with the Northern Song Dynasty court and defended the Northern Song emperor.
As for those standing by, they were all there to watch the fun and stir up trouble.
When Lu Ping squeezed into the crowd, the two sides were already fighting each other, so he simply pulled over a person nearby and asked, "Brother, who are these people?"
The man was busy cheering for both sides at the moment, and was not annoyed by Lu Ping's pull. He just replied casually: "The troublemakers are the Liangshan people."
"Liangshan?"
Lu Ping's eyes showed a trace of doubt: "Why don't they stay in their own territory and travel thousands of miles to the southwest?"
The man laughed and said, "The Green Forest is also part of the Jianghu. Naturally, they also need to send people out from time to time to get in touch with the wind and keep up with current affairs. Otherwise, they won't know when they will be wiped out in one fell swoop."
As soon as he opened his mouth, you could tell that he was a veteran.
Lu Ping felt that this made sense, and asked, "Where are the people on the other side?"
The man shook his head: "He must be someone from the Northern Song Dynasty court, but I don't know his exact origins..."
Cheng Ying asked curiously, "Do all bandits like to stir up trouble?"
There were rarely any bandits causing trouble in the Southern Song Dynasty, so she didn't know the ins and outs of the situation. She just felt that since she had become a bandit, she should learn to keep a low profile.
Lu Ping explained: "Since they are bandits, how can they not cause trouble? If they were afraid of causing trouble, they would not become bandits."
Then he changed the subject: "But ordinary bandits would not dare to be so bold as to make up the bloodline of an emperor in public."
"But Liangshan is not an ordinary bandit. They are one of the two leaders of the green forest in the Northern Song Dynasty. Their slogan is 'doing justice for the heaven'. In the past, they were more likely to have conflicts with the imperial court. I heard that many people in their mountain stronghold have blood feuds with high-ranking officials of the Northern Song Dynasty court."
"So this group of people naturally stand on the opposite side of the Northern Song Dynasty court. They are real 'rebels'!"
"They are probably doing this now to enhance the prestige of Liangshan and attract more people to join them. After all, they lost a lot of people some time ago, and now they are short of manpower and food."
What Lu Ping said about 'losing a lot of people some time ago' was exactly the incident when Liangshan sent a large number of people to compete for the flower and stone gang, but was eventually wiped out.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying, Wang Xiaoshi and others suddenly realized what was going on and admired Lu Ping even more.
The man also turned around, looked at Lu Ping and said with a smile: "This brother's analysis is very correct, but there is one mistake in what you said."
"Oh? Could you please enlighten me, old man?"
"It is true that Liangshan is short of men now, but they are not short of food, because they have formed an alliance with the Great Heavenly King Zhu."
When these words were spoken, Wang Xiaoshi and others were all stunned.
"Zhu Da Tian Wang? Who is that?"
Lu Ping glanced at the group of Jianghu rookies behind him and said speechlessly, "It's Zhu Shunshui, the chief leader of the 72 Yangtze River waterways and 36 Yellow River sub-forts, nicknamed 'Iron Chain Across the River'."
Zhu Shunshui's power was quite large. There were a total of twenty-four routes in the two Song dynasties, with half of them being water routes and half being land routes. Among the water routes, more than three-quarters of the territory was occupied by Zhu Shunshui's people. It was not an exaggeration to call him the "Water Emperor".
Such people will naturally not lack food.
As long as Zhu Shunshui gave a little to Liangshan, it would be enough for them to use for several years.
"With this strong support, Liangshan will be able to stand firm in the coming turmoil. But... why did these two groups unite together?"
"I heard that Zhu Shunshui and Li Chenzhou were fighting fiercely, right?"
The man said, "That's right. The reason they joined forces is, of course, because the Quanli Gang also found Lianyun Village as an ally."
Well... that's not surprising.
For a long time, Lianyunzhai and Liangshan fought each other openly, while Li Chenzhou and Zhu Shunshui competed secretly, but there was no winner.
Now that they have formed their own alliances, they have naturally seen that the storm is coming and have no choice but to stick together for warmth.
While they were talking, the Liangshan troops were fighting and shouting slogans.
"Eliminate the treacherous ministers, fight the false emperor, and enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
"The emperor takes turns to sit at his seat, and this year it's my turn!"
The onlookers all sighed at how audacious this gang of bandits was, shouting such words in public. They really had no respect for the law. At this moment, a white figure flew out from the crowd and landed in the field like a lightning bolt. Then, he stretched out his arms, shouted loudly, and pointed with both hands, shooting left and right.
"Great cold and small heat, water and fire go hand in hand!"
The cold air and the flames, each showing their abilities, carried tremendous force, and the two groups of people were unable to withstand them, and were simultaneously repelled by the astonishing finger force that attacked them.
"Ahem——!"
"Nonsense..."
The sudden change shocked the crowd.
The two groups that were hit first were even more afraid of the power of the newcomer's fingers and did not dare to move.
After they stabilized themselves and the smoke and dust cleared, everyone looked up and saw the appearance of the person who had disturbed the situation.
The man was about twenty years old, handsome and fine-looking, with white hair, white clothes, white boots, and a white cape. He also wore a pair of white gloves that only covered his ten fingers and half of his palms.
"Where did this brat come from to interfere in the affairs of Liangshan?!"
"Tell me your name!"
This person suddenly jumped out to steal the spotlight, naturally because he saw today's gathering at Leigushan as a good opportunity to become famous, so he did not hide his identity and loudly introduced himself -
"I am Bai Choufei!"
Bai Choufei, a man who has never shown his face in the world and is unknown.
But this time, he was able to repel dozens of masters present with one move, and he did it so easily. This immediately attracted the attention of the people present, and they all speculated about his origins and purpose.
"Bai Choufei?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Ping's eyes.
Not only because he had not shown up in the martial world until now, but also because the move he had just displayed clearly had the shadow of the 'Thousand Jin Finger'.
After arriving in Beiwulin, he only taught the Thousand Jin Finger martial arts to a waiter in an inn.
But now Bai Choufei has used this kung fu. I think he must have used some method to get the secret book from that person.
Not only that, he also integrated it with the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Shocking God Finger' he had learned, which increased the power of the 'Shocking God Finger' by several levels.
Not bad, not bad. It does live up to the skill of "Thousand Jin Finger".
Bai Choufei stepped forward to defuse this farce.
Originally, given his status and position in the martial arts world, the two groups would not bother to pay attention to him, but intimidated by the strength he just displayed, these people naturally had to take his words seriously and had to withdraw their hands temporarily.
With this move, Bai Choufei officially stood on the stage of the martial arts world.
The farce ended, the crowd dispersed, and Lu Ping fell into deep thought.
"It seems that Bai Choufei did not take refuge in Jinfengxiyu Tower as in the original novel..."
I don’t know what the current situation of Jinfengxiyue Tower is like?
Thinking of this, Lu Ping raised his head again, and stopped the know-it-all who was about to leave to ask about the current situation of Jinfengxiyu Tower, but the answer he got was -
"That old fox Su Mengzhen has already surrendered to the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty."
Surrender to the Northern Song Emperor?
It fits his style very well...
In this way, the future pattern of the Northern Song Dynasty's martial arts world has begun to emerge.
While Lu Ping was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Guo Fu yelling, "What about the Northern Beggars' Sect?"
As the daughter of Huang Rong and Guo Jing, she naturally cares more about the affairs of the Beggars' Sect.
"The Northern Beggars' Sect? They are just a bunch of fence-sitters!"
The man chuckled, his words carrying undisguised sarcasm, "Since Xiao Feng left, the Northern Beggars' Sect has become a mess. It will probably be swallowed up by other forces soon."
Guo Fu was very anxious when she heard this, but she could do nothing.
The group walked further forward and arrived at the venue of the 'Second Chess Level'.
There was also a wooden board next to the venue, with a poem written on it: It is easy to get drunk with wine, but hard to meet an opponent in chess.
This stage is not a game against the organizer, but a competition between players. Only those who pass the first stage and get the wooden card can enter.
There were also eight tables in the venue, but five of them were empty at this moment, leaving three tables with six people sitting at them.
Bai Choufei was among them.
His opponent was none other than the military advisor of Liufenbantang, 'Low-Headed Dragon' Di Feijing.
