HPDBC #234 - You are unkind and I am unjust
#234 - You are unkind and I am unjust
Since Liang Qizhi might be transferred to Qingzhou, Liang Jin's personal trip here was not in vain.
Immediately, Liang Jin smiled and said:
"Within the sect, there are naturally some dissenting voices."
"You also know that some elders are not so easy to talk to."
"But I, Xiong Ba, believe in Liang Tong's character, so I personally recommended him to the sect leader, and finally persuaded the sect leader to overrule all objections."
Liang Qizhi, hearing this, how could he not understand Liang Jin's meaning?
Immediately, he cupped his fists and thanked him:
"Thank you for your trust, Senior Brother Chief!"
"If there is anything Liang needs in the future, Liang will certainly go through fire and water!"
His address to Liang Jin also changed from Chief Xiong to Senior Brother Chief, obviously with more respect.
Liang Jin nodded, what he wanted was Liang Qizhi's gratitude towards him.
Afterwards, Liang Jin asked:
"Are you confident in this matter?"
After all, Liang Qizhi had said before that the high-level officials of the Six Doors had always distrusted him, blocking his path to promotion.
Liang Qizhi sighed:
"Now, corruption is rampant within the Six Doors; if you want to be promoted, you have to bribe your superiors."
"This has led to many elite experts leaving the Six Doors in recent years, resulting in a talent shortage."
"Now, Qi Xianghong, the leader of the Six Doors in Qingzhou, is said to have been struck by lightning, dying unclearly."
"And within the Six Doors, they couldn't find a single extra fourth-rank martial artist to fill the vacancy for a while, so I got my chance out of desperation."
"But even so, those high-level officials still don't forget to demand bribes."
"The Six Doors are so corrupt that they are beyond saving."
"Please rest assured, Chief Xiong, as long as there is enough silver, I am 90% sure of getting the position of leader of the Six Doors in Qingzhou."
After saying this, Liang Qizhi couldn't help but sigh deeply.
If the Six Doors were not so deeply entrenched in problems, he would not have completely leaned towards joining the Huashen Sect.
Liang Jin also sighed slightly upon hearing this.
No wonder the Daqian Dynasty is showing signs of collapse; the Six Doors are probably just a microcosm of the dynasty.
One of the most important means of rule for a dynasty is to use high positions and generous salaries to win over talented elites and turn them into their own people.
But if even this point goes wrong, then it has really reached the eve of the collapse of the building.
At this moment.
Liang Qizhi suddenly asked mysteriously:
"Senior Brother Chief, may I ask, is the 'Demon in the Wind' that has been causing a stir in Dongzhou these past two days a master within the sect?"
Liang Jin was puzzled when he heard this:
"Demon in the Wind?"
"These past two days, a master with superb lightness skill has appeared in Dongzhou. Wherever he goes, there are often strong winds, so he is called the Demon in the Wind by the world."
"It is said that even Zou Cifeng, the third-rank martial artist known as the number one expert in Dongzhou, once competed with him in lightness skill, but he had to give up halfway because his cultivation was one major realm lower than the other party."
"Moreover, this Demon in the Wind is very fond of treasure hunting. First, he took an unknown natural treasure from under Orange Cliff, and then he stole the tomb of the peerless expert 'Demon Sound' from Mashih Bay two hundred years ago."
"The Six Doors also attach great importance to this mysterious second-rank master and have been investigating him."
"There are even recent signs that this Demon in the Wind may have come to Dongzhou City."
"After thinking about it, if there are any unknown second-rank martial artists in the world, I am afraid that only the Huashen Sect has them."
Liang Jin was dumbfounded after hearing this.
It turned out that the Demon in the Wind was actually referring to himself.
But when did he become a top powerhouse of the second rank?
Can rumors be exaggerated to such an extent?
Immediately, Liang Jin asked back:
"Why does Liang Tongdai think that the Demon in the Wind is related to the Huashen Sect?"
"Just because the Demon in the Wind came to Dongzhou City, and I happened to be here too?"
Liang Qizhi nodded.
He didn't think that Liang Jin would be the Demon in the Wind. After all, he knew Liang Jin's cultivation level very well, and it was impossible for him to be a top second-rank master.
However, the arrival of both the Demon in the Wind and the chief disciple of the Huashen Sect in Dongzhou City inevitably made Liang Qizhi associate the two together.
Liang Jin smiled and said:
"I do know something about the Demon in the Wind, but it is not convenient to say more."
"I came to Dongzhou from the island not only for your matter but also for another matter to handle."
"That is to resolve the conflict between my Huashen Sect's outer island disciples and the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion of the Dongzhou martial arts world."
"Does Liang Tongdai know about this matter?"
Liang Qizhi did not deny that the Demon in the Wind was related to the Huashen Sect, so he secretly kept it in mind.
Since this is the case, he would not inquire too much about the Demon in the Wind.
As for the second matter Liang Jin mentioned, Liang Qizhi certainly knew about it.
He nodded and said:
"The Six Doors did receive news of this conflict a long time ago, but I have not taken action because I am not sure how the sect plans to deal with it."
"Senior Brother Chief, please rest assured, I will definitely stand on the sect's side."
"I can take people to seal up the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion at any time and arrest their people."
"These martial artists have done a lot of illegal and disorderly things in peacetime."
Liang Jin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about this issue.
He asked:
"I want to know what the cause of the matter is."
Liang Qizhi understood when he heard this.
The Chaoyin Martial Pavilion is just a third-rate sect. In theory, the Huashen Sect doesn't need to send the chief disciple to handle it personally.
But now it seems that there may be some things going on here.
It seems that the sect leader of the Huashen Sect wants to understand the real situation of the disciples below.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Immediately, Liang Qizhi did not hide anything and said:
"Since Senior Brother Chief asked, I will tell you everything I know."
"The matter probably happened half a month ago. Wang Xu, the deacon in charge of purchasing medicinal materials from outside the island in the sect, led his disciples to attack the disciples of the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion who were purchasing medicinal materials and robbed the medicinal materials of the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion."
"Three days later, Zhu Xi, the elder of the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion, led his men to fight for the medicinal materials. Deacon Wang Xu led the disciples of the Huashen Sect to retreat without fighting, leaving the medicinal material warehouse to the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion. But the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion found that the warehouse was empty, with no medicinal materials at all, and thought that they had fallen for the Huashen Sect's empty city plan."
"Four days later, Deacon Wang Xu used the excuse that the medicinal materials of the Huashen Sect had been robbed and once again led his men to attack the purchasing team of the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion and won the victory. One day later, Zhu Xi, the elder of the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion, met with Wang Xu, hoping to resolve the matter, but the negotiations between the two sides failed."
"Zhu Xi, the elder of the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion, decided to take the initiative and launched a night attack on the purchasing station of the Huashen Sect. The Huashen Sect made a slight resistance and chose to retreat. Afterwards, Deacon Wang Xu claimed that many precious medicinal materials had been robbed by the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion and led his disciples to attack the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion again to rob the medicinal materials. The two sides had a head-on battle in Anshi Town, and the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion was defeated."
"After this battle, the outer disciples of the Chaoyin Martial Pavilion suffered heavy losses and were no longer able to launch a new offensive against the Huashen Sect's station. They began to shrink back to the sect and take a defensive posture, and contacted allies and many helpers to prepare for a new build-up of strength."
Although Liang Qizhi's words were not direct enough, the meaning was clear enough.
Liang Jin also understood the general situation of the matter.
If he had not obtained the information from Deacon Wang Xu before, he might have had to investigate further.
Now that he already knew what Wang Xu had done from the information panel, it was not difficult to guess the reason behind all this.
"Okay, I basically know the matter."
"Since I am here, I will handle this matter myself."
"Liang Tongdai, you go back first."
Liang Qizhi saluted and was about to turn around and leave.
Liang Jin suddenly said again:
"By the way, if Liang Tongdai's transfer to Qingzhou goes smoothly this time, someone will be there to welcome you."
"In the future, Liang Tongdai will need to cooperate more with that person."
Liang Qizhi thought that there were also people from the Huashen Sect in Qingzhou.
He immediately replied:
"Senior Brother Chief, please rest assured, this is my duty."
Liang Jin nodded.
Liang Qizhi then put on a hat to cover his face and turned away.
He was not weak in lightness skill and soon disappeared into the night.
Liang Jin was about to leave.
He should go back and deal with the Huashen Sect's mission.
Just two steps away, he suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, I forgot to look at the information I got today."
The information he had received these past two days had been a bunch of messy and useless information, and Liang Jin was too lazy to take a look, so he had ignored today's.
Fortunately, he had taken the time to practice his kung fu in the inn today, otherwise, he would have almost missed the practice mission.
"I hope there is some useful information."
He thought as he opened the system information panel.
And on the information panel, new information had indeed appeared.
【Today completed sect missions: 2】
【Number of information available: 2】
【Information 1: Zou Cifeng of Xiafei Manor in Dongzhou hates you to the bone. He has set a trap in Dongzhou City, using his ancestral treasure Soul Jade to lure you into the trap, wanting to kill you with his own hands. The real Soul Jade has been hidden by him in the secret room of the well in Xiafei Manor, while the fake Soul Jade has been placed by him on the Luoyan Pagoda in the city, trying to attract you into the net he has set up.】
【Information 2: Zhou Baining, the most beautiful woman in the Dongzhou martial arts world, loves music all her life. After hearing that the Demon in the Wind took the treasure from the tomb of 'Demon Sound', she has been longing to meet the Demon in the Wind, so that she can see the peerless music left by 'Demon Sound' and experience the mystery of the Heavenly Demon Qin and the Emerald Immortal Flute. Even if it requires a great price, she is willing.】
Huh?
Liang Jin was slightly puzzled when he looked at the first piece of information.
He had only heard Liang Qizhi mention the name Zou Cifeng not long ago, who was said to be the number one expert in Dongzhou.
It seems that he is the third-rank martial artist who has been following Liang Jin.
But does this guy have any deep hatred with him?
Why does he hate himself to the bone?
He even used the name of an ancestral treasure to set up a trap for himself?
"Okay, you want to mess with me, right?"
"Then let's see who messes with whom!"
Liang Jin immediately used the 【Thousand Mile Tracking】 feature of the main body to check the location of Xiafei Manor.
Ha! It's right on the way!
Since you are unrighteous, don't blame me for being unjust!
