Toad Palace Spring and Autumn

Ning Huaishang waited for everyone to be completely quiet before raising his voice a little and saying, "Don't talk about others, just talk about Liu Xuanying who I met a few days ago. It's not like everyone here has never heard of the name of the landlord. I know Many of you have relatives and friends who have been poisoned by her. For this person, you must hate him deeply."

After finishing a sentence, it is like throwing a stone into the lake of the heart, which arouses all the people present to have different thoughts.

"Nowadays, the righteous way of martial arts came here to form an alliance, and we won by numbers for a while. With all due respect, this move is not only not proud of it, it is even dangerous. On the other hand, the toad palace is just giving up a few side halls, which makes us get carried away and almost want to go deep Hitting the enemy's belly, directly attacking the Yellow Dragon - this is the scary part of the enemy."

Ning Huaishang saw the dark clouds on everyone's faces, and lowered his tone: "Everyone knows that there are five wonders in the Toad Palace, and Tingxiang Tower is only one of them. But anyone who can guard a palace here will never be as you just said. , is a mediocre and incompetent generation. The enemy's masters have not yet emerged, but our side has already shown itself. In the current situation, which is better and which is worse, don't you all see clearly? Blindly aggressive, but let us fall into the enemy's trap earlier That's all. Rather than that, it's better to disband on the spot, each family clears the snow in front of the door, and no one will have to mention the matter of going up the mountain to crusade in the future."

Hearing what he said so seriously, everyone couldn't help being shocked. They looked at each other in blank dismay on the spot, but they felt a little more convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

"The lord has a high opinion, we are ashamed and dare not take it."

"For the current plan, what should I do?"

Ning Huaishang smiled, and slowly uttered a word: "Back."

"What?? Back?"

Although Xu Shihua didn't say it clearly before, Ning Huaishang's actions coincided with his intentions, so he made his own claim that the leader of the alliance is the same as him, a main fighter.Listening to Ning Huaishhang's words this time, he seemed to be retreating, and immediately wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"That's right. Back off."

Of course Ning Huaishang was aware of Xu Shihua's concerns, he kept smiling, and said more calmly: "Thank you, everyone will follow my army and retreat ten miles away from the palace gate to garrison. Within two days, the Toad Palace will definitely move. It’s true, and we will have our own conclusions at that time.”

Regarding this order of retreating to advance, everyone was confused, but they didn't have much objection.At present, the Allied forces regrouped and went back to move camp in an orderly manner.

In the evening, Ning Huaishang felt a completely different lively atmosphere from the previous few days when he was patrolling around.Because just after winning the victory, the brothers took new available supplies from the occupied palace, and the earlier depressed mood was naturally swept away.

Seeing this situation, Ning Huaishang was really relieved.

Two days later, there was a sudden rain without warning in the mountains.In the hot summer, the rain always falls quickly and urgently, but it doesn't last long, and the rain quickly decreases.

Ning Huaishang was lamenting the strangeness of the rain, when someone opened the curtain and came in to announce that someone from a cult had just come out of the Toad Palace.

Not daring to be careless, everyone hurriedly followed Ning Huaishang out of the tent, all staring at the man walking slowly with an umbrella not far away with weird eyes.The rain dripped down the umbrella surface, and the splashed mist covered the man's face like a screen of smoke.But even from such a distance, it is not difficult to see his majestic figure, a paper umbrella can barely cover his shoulders, and the hem of his robe is wet from the rain, revealing a dense dark color.

"Who is coming, sign up to come."

Lu Changqing drank boldly, and many guards from Chuxiu Villa lined up, blocking the way.

The man finally stopped.The umbrella surface was raised slightly, but his eyebrows were warm and moist, and his words were like a humble gentleman, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Wen Chuqing, I'm here to pay a visit to Leader Ning."

Gentle as jade, sunny after rain.good name.

Ning Huaishhang sighed secretly, raised his hand to dismiss the person holding an umbrella, stood facing him without saying a word, let the drizzle wet his robe, as if he was planning something in his heart.

Wen Chuqing also put away her umbrella, brushed it behind her clothes, then looked at Ning Huaishang with a smile and said, "I heard from sister Liu earlier that Ning's leader Fengshen is handsome, wise, brave and unparalleled. Seeing him today, he really lives up to his reputation."

Even though what he said was just a scene, but because of his neat appearance, his voice was like a light rain knocking on a tile, which was very pleasant to people's ears.It's just that he called Liu Xuanying Liu Mei, which made Ning Huaishang a little more curious about her identity.

"Your surname is Wen, her surname is Liu, why are they called siblings?"

Wen Chuqing probably didn't expect Ning Huaishang to ask such a question, so she was stunned for a while and didn't answer.On the contrary, Ning Huaishang felt impolite, broke the deadlock with a smile and said: "I am taking the liberty of asking, please explain why you are here."

"Wen came here today because he wanted to ask Leader Ning a question."

"Oh? What's the problem."

"Leader Ning led the people up the mountain in the name of crusade. Dare I ask what kind of evil things I have done in the lineage of the Toad Palace, so that you will spare no effort to get rid of them and quickly?"

As soon as Wen Chuqing finished speaking, boos broke out from the crowd.Ning Huaishang signaled everyone to be quiet, and said seriously, "What do you think is good and what is evil?"

"Wen believes that those who cultivate goodness should think about all beings. Those who do evil should think about self-interest."

Ning Huaishhang nodded in deep agreement, and asked him back: "In your opinion, is it evil to seek what is another's property for profit?"

"Of course it's evil."

Wen Chuqing looked back at Ning Huaishang openly, her eyes as proud as frost and snow.

Ning Huaishang said again: "The Toad Palace originally belonged to the foreign domain, once it came to dominate the Central Plains, it occupied Lingshan by force, built large-scale construction projects, and wasted money and people. Isn't this a greater evil?"

Wen Chuqing said calmly, "Mountains and rivers have no owners. The Lingshan resort is home to the capable, so why call it evil. Moreover, the reconstruction of the Toad Palace is based on the ritual of Fengshui, and those who work hard will be rewarded with a lot of money. The nearby villagers voluntarily went up the mountain, and the saying that they are wasting money and laboring people is nothing."

Those words caused everyone present to change their faces.Even Ning Huaishhang had to think secretly about this person's eloquence, and after concentrating for a moment, he continued: "No matter what happened in the past, the Toad Palace has persecuted many martial arts people in recent years, isn't this evil?"

Wen Chuqing thought it was funny, glanced at the people present one by one, and said slowly: "The grievances in the world are not evil. What's more, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others. Those people must die because they deserve to die."

"you!!……"

"The evil is crooked, Hugh is rampant!!"

"You villain, pay for my dead brother!!"

Everyone was furious, and they waved their swords at each other.

Wen Chuqing held the umbrella in her left hand to block, and her right hand condensed her breath to flick her fingers. Her footwork was unpredictable, and she had retreated several miles in an instant.Lu Changqing and the others were chasing after Ning Huaishhang, who was hesitating, when he suddenly heard a wicked laugh coming from the front: "I said it a long time ago, the truth is for people to listen to. But you are meddlesome, and the result is not good." Not in vain—”

The light rain kills, and the sound waves are harsh.The attack has been slowed down amidst everyone's doubts and fears. When they followed the prestige, they saw a floating long figure hidden in a black cloak above the majestic palace wall, holding a blue light cold sword, like a ghost.

Wen Chuqing leaped up and down to the side of the man, flicking her fingers to wipe off the rain and dew on her clothes, while lamenting: "Brother is not talented, I have a responsibility. Brother Ruan, it's time for you to take over."

"Hmph, count you acquainted."

After the words, the cloudy wind came.The man called Ruan Di disappeared and jumped into the crowd.As Qingfeng passed by, accompanied by several mournful wailings, all those who had been recruited fell to the ground, gurgling blood mixed with rainwater flowing everywhere, and the ground was instantly red.

"Who else will come. Let's go together!"

Holding the handle with both hands, the man drew a water mark through the air, his whole body was bursting with hostility, and the black cloak was fluttering in the air, showing a thunderous appearance.The rest of the people were appalled by its momentum and did not dare to approach it.While in a panic, he saw another person standing up and jumping into the battle circle, all the people present fixed their eyes, it was Ning Huaishang.

"Take your men down the mountain now, and promise to never come back again. I will consider sparing your life." The man saw through the opponent's identity at a glance, and spoke bluntly.

Ning Huaishang remained calm and said, "Is it because you are eager to negotiate terms with me that you lack confidence in yourself?"

The man snorted indifferently, "Stop talking nonsense, come on."

When a master fights, you don't have to wait until the winner or loser to find out the truth.Ning Huaishang knew that he was better than pure internal force, and in terms of moves and speed, the man's swordsmanship was obviously superior to his.Only the longer the time dragged on and the greater the consumption of internal energy, the more beneficial it would be for him.

The man is not a fool, he naturally discovered this, so he attacked faster and faster.

Ning Huaishang was almost overwhelmed, but fortunately, Lu Changqing helped him - although the means were not glorious, but he couldn't care less about dealing with cults.

The man was plotted against, but he didn't immediately lose the wind.Ordinary hidden weapons can't hurt him, but once he starts to get distracted, Ning Huaishhang will have more chances to find his flaws.

When the surrounding audience saw the man weakened, they immediately swarmed up, wanting to attack him.

Two fists are no match for four hands.Seeing this, Wen Chuqing, who was originally very confident in the man, had to restrain his posture, and led a group of people into the battle circle. While defusing the deadly murderous intentions for the man, he did not forget to ridicule Ning Huaishang and said: "Wen What kind of romantic figure did I think the majestic leader of the martial arts alliance is, but it seems that he is just a young man who bullies others and stabs people in the back! What is good and what is evil, Wen finally learned today!"
