Chapter 92 The White-Haired Witch: Xu Qingya is mine, I need his essence!
"Invincible Young Master, do you also want to take 30% of the revenue and only give me 10%?"
The white-haired witch sneered at the Invincible Young Master and said disdainfully, "You dare not offend Xu Qingya, but you want to deal with Yang Huyun. You've really made a good plan!"
Have you ever considered that Xu Qingya was actually escorting real disaster relief funds? As the saying goes, what appears real may be deceptive, and what appears real may be deceptive—this is very common in the escort business!
The Golden-Armed Child retorted angrily, "Hmph! So what if it is! So what if it isn't! Lian Ni Chang, you're all alone, do you think you can sit on equal footing with us? What a joke!"
Bright Moon Mountain Stronghold, what a prestigious name! Too bad, I've never heard of it! I've never seen the White-Haired Witch in action, nor have I seen any of your subordinates!
The white-haired witch gripped the sword hilt: "If this is your attitude towards cooperation, I can kill you all and do it myself, taking all the credit for myself."
Jinbi Tong said with a disdainful look: "Lian Ni Chang, with this toothpick in your hand, who do you think you can threaten?"
Come here, I'm waiting for you. You can slash me a hundred times, and if I even flinch or dodge by half an inch, I'll be your pet from now on!
Do you think you can enjoy all the benefits all by yourself?
Green Forest Street lives by its fists!
Want money? Show your fists!
The white-haired witch laughed in fury: "Golden-Armed Boy, three swords couldn't shatter your tortoise shell. You can do whatever you want with me. You mere Thirteen Bodyguards, skilled in external martial arts, dare to spout such nonsense!"
The two men slammed their fists on the table and stood up, ready to draw their swords.
The Invincible Young Master said calmly, "Gentlemen, please calm down. We haven't even gotten the money yet, and we're already fighting amongst ourselves. How will we face people if word gets out?"
Du Tiandao said coldly, "Whether word gets out or not, we're doomed! After robbing the disaster relief funds, we'll face Xu Qingya's pursuit. Who can stop us?"
The white-haired witch sneered, "Hehehe! Everyone says the Lord of Heavenly Dao Manor is a tiger, so how come he's been scared into a sick cat by Xu Qingya? This is truly amusing! Shouldn't you change your 'Black Tiger Digs Out the Heart' move to 'A Kitten's Cuddling'?"
Du Tiandao held up two fingers: "When it comes to arrogance and unbridled behavior, who can compare to Gu Jianhun? Gu Jianhun, who wielded the Dragon Slayer Saber, was defeated by Xu Qingya and forced to jump into the river to escape. He couldn't even keep the Dragon Slayer Saber."
When it comes to cunning and shrewdness, there are countless experts. The Blackwater Gang may not be the best in the martial arts world, but it is second only to the Power Gang and the Money Gang. It is a first-class waterborne power. Xu Qingya only took two days to wipe out the entire Blackwater Gang and hang Zhu Datianwang's head at the entrance of Jiangling County Government!
We are not lone wolves.
I have Tiandao Manor, Jinbi Tong has Qisha Valley, Wudi Gongzi has Duanhun Valley, and Lian Nishang has Mingyue Village. You can run away, but you can't hide. Xu Qingya went door to door attacking people, and the first to suffer were either Qisha Valley or Duanhun Valley, and next most likely it would be Tiandao Manor.
In other words, once the deed is done, Golden-Armed Boy and Invincible Young Master must immediately take the money and run away. Du will have three to five days to pack his valuables. Bright Moon Village is far away in Sichuan and Chongqing, far from the emperor's reach. Who can control you? By the time Xu Qingya arrives in Sichuan and Chongqing, you will have already disappeared without a trace.
From this perspective, I agree that Golden-Armed Child and Invincible Young Master should receive a larger share. Lian Ni Chang, your loss is the smallest; you should have received a smaller share in the first place!
The white-haired witch sneered, "You talk as if your stronghold is worthless! How much is your shabby manor worth? My stronghold is more fortified than a fortress. I spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build it. To do this deal, I have to abandon the stronghold. What will you use to compensate me?"
Du Tiandao shouted, "Lian Nishang, your Bright Moon Mountain Stronghold is valuable, but my reputation is worthless?"
The white-haired witch scoffed disdainfully, "Reputation? You bully men and women, maim people at the drop of a hat, and the people are full of resentment. What kind of reputation do you have?!"
Du Tiandao did not particularly enjoy killing. However, after his son Du Chang's hands were cut off, he developed a vicious liking for maiming people. If he was in a bad mood or if someone offended him in the slightest, he would maim the other person. He especially liked gouging out people's eyes, cutting off their legs, and gouging out their ears.
Killing brings him no pleasure.
Du Tiandao enjoys watching people struggle to survive.
The Invincible Young Master frowned. He felt that Lian Ni Chang was not there to discuss cooperation, but to quarrel. However, the attitudes of the Golden-Armed Child and Du Tiandao were too greedy. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone the White-Haired Witch.
The Invincible Young Master roared, "Enough! Are we going to cooperate in plundering, or go our separate ways? I don't have time to listen to your arguments. If you want to cooperate, sit down and talk now. If you want to argue, go outside and fight it out before coming in. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The white-haired witch played with her silver hair, her laughter like silver bells: "Split it evenly! This is my bottom line. I received intelligence from the capital that this disaster relief fund is a full 200,000 taels of gold, and we will each receive 50,000 taels."
I'll take care of dealing with Xu Qingya for you!
Believe me, no one can stop Xu Qingya except me, especially Jinbi Tong. Your Thirteen Bodyguards Horizontal Training is no different from paper in front of the Spring and Autumn Saber Technique. One slash and your head will be separated.
To deal with Xu Qingya, we must use sophisticated tactics to fight a protracted war with him. Who among you can do that?
The imperial court recently acquired the Liancheng Treasure. The empress is richer than we imagined. I've calculated that it would cost 500 taels of gold to have Li Guishou change her appearance, leaving 49,500 taels, enough to live a carefree life!
Du Tiandao can change his name and establish a martial arts family in an ordinary prefecture or county. Invincible Young Master and Golden-Armed Boy can join a large mountain stronghold or go to Cangzhou, where there is a Lianyun Stronghold that will surely broaden your horizons.
The eight mountain strongholds are linked together, like clouds covering the continuous mountain range. Just one look and you will know that Seven Kill Valley and Soul Broken Valley are the wells that bind you, and you are all frogs at the bottom of the well.
I have one last service to offer!
I can help you launder money.
I know an underground bank owner who is very good at money laundering and can guarantee that the money will be completely laundered.
In return, once this is done, I want your help to capture Xu Qingya alive; I want his life essence.
If you agree, let's begin negotiations.
If you don't agree, I understand the rules!
I'll stay here.
I'll leave after you've finished your business!
"Do the three of you agree?"
The three exchanged glances, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded. Continuing to argue would not help the situation and would only be a waste of time.
Of course, these negotiations were meaningless in the first place.
Even if the four are genuinely cooperating, they will immediately start fighting after taking the gold.
You kill me, I'll kill you!
Only one person can receive the gold.
Therefore, the person responsible for holding off Xu Qingya must be the most dangerous person and the easiest to eliminate.
"Where should we make our move?"
"I suggest we take action at Ghost Cry Ridge."
"Seven Kill Valley is the first wave of ambush!"
"Soul-Severing Valley will be in charge of the next ambush!"
"Tiandao Manor will be responsible for the final ambush!"
"After three ambushes, Yang Huyun's top fighters should be almost all dead. If we swarm in, even if Xu Qingya comes in person, we can capture him alive."
"With me here, Xu Qingya won't make it!"
"Okay! Let's do it that way!"
The four of them quickly devised a strategy.
Wealth is allocated based on tactical losses.
Whose mission is the most dangerous? Who is likely to suffer the greatest losses? Who will get the most gold?
However, after all the calculations, the four of them still ended up splitting the money equally. Which of these people has the personality to sacrifice themselves for others? They're all people who don't want to suffer a loss!
After the discussion was over, the white-haired witch drifted away.
Du Tiandao looked at the Invincible Young Master: "The White-Haired Witch's lair is in Sichuan and Chongqing. What's she doing in Beijing? This guy is suspicious; I don't trust her!"
Golden-Armed Boy nodded.
Having roamed the underworld for so many years, how could they possibly be brutes? Adopting a brute stance makes it easier to seize advantages; if the other party isn't thick-skinned enough, they can take a big bite. Secondly, they can use their rudeness to confuse the enemy and cause them to make a misjudgment.
In fact, the three had been colluding for a long time.
The white-haired witch was a henchman they hired.
The Invincible Young Master explained, "The White-Haired Witch has suffered a qi deviation while practicing the demonic sect's secret manual, 'The Heavenly Demon Strategy.' She needs authentic Xuanmen true qi to heal her internal injuries, and she wants to use Xu Qingya's innate true qi to cultivate the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique!"
"Of all the practitioners of orthodox Xuanmen martial arts, why choose Xu Qingya? Is there some reason behind it?"
"Xu Qingya, at such a young age, was able to defeat a master like Gu Jianhun. His skill is pure and his potential is limitless. Absorbing Xu Qingya's essence will bring even more benefits. If we ignore this reason, it's probably just a matter of looks!"
"Pretty boy, you're a scoundrel! What's so great about being pretty? I could kill ten of them with one punch!"
The golden-armed boy slammed his fist on the table.
Golden-armed boy is tall, muscular, and bursting with hormones. He's a natural muscle king, and he has an unparalleled attraction for women confined to their homes. Except for not having a pretty boy, he's perfect in every way.
The problem is—he doesn't have a gigolo!
The Invincible Young Master touched his face and thought to himself, "This guy is a brute. I won't argue with a brute."
Du Tiandao's pupils contracted slightly.
Given Invincible Young Master's temper, he should have fought with Golden-Armed Boy long ago. Why is he so tolerant of him? Judging from their ages, could they be twin brothers?
Looking up, the Invincible Young Master had a face as white as powder and lips as red as cinnabar. He was as bright as a star. He was in his forties, but he looked like he was in his twenties. He was a top-notch pretty boy!
Golden-Armed Boy has large hands and feet, is all muscle, speaks and acts rudely and domineeringly, and smells of sweat and acid.
If these two are twin brothers—either their father is a womanizer, or their neighbor is Old Wang!
Du Tiandao laughed, "Brother Jin, once the White-Haired Witch has drained Xu Qingya's essence, we'll hand him over to you to deal with. You can devour him alive!"
"Hahahahaha————"
A burst of wild laughter echoed from the valley.
Red Plum Inn!
Yang Huyun, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of the Tiger Might Escort Agency, escorted more than a dozen镖车 (caravans) to the inn and instructed, "Everyone must keep a close watch on the镖车. After we finish this job, we can join the Dragon Guard Manor and never have to endure the elements again!"
The experts who came from all over the martial arts world to help, such as Yin Jiu, Fang Shi, Li Qingming, and Leng Feng, all traveled with the caravan. Yin Jiu and Fang Shi were independent martial artists who were responsible for scouting the way, while Li Qingming and Leng Feng were scouts from prominent families, so they had a more comfortable experience.
Upon hearing Yang Huyun's words, Li Qingming couldn't help but purse his lips: "I came here to provide disaster relief, but his words make it sound like I'm taking a shortcut!"
Leng Feng advised, "Qingming, don't talk nonsense. You are from Yongcui Manor, and you've been wealthy since childhood, so you don't have to worry about food and lodging. They are bodyguards, living a life of hardship and earning money through bloodshed. It's only natural for them to want peace and stability!"
Li Qingming is kind-hearted and chivalrous by nature, but he is hot-blooded, reckless, and impulsive in his youth. He likes to show off and is easily antagonized, which makes him vulnerable to being plotted against and killed. To prevent him from being plotted against and killed, his family arranged for him to marry Leng Feng and asked Leng Feng to keep an eye on him so that he would not speak recklessly.
Hearing Leng Feng's words, the bodyguards felt relieved.
Just as the group was about to enter the inn to rest, a voice came from the dark alleyway: "Heroes, if you enter the inn now, you'll never need to stay in an inn again after tonight. This is a den of thieves!"
Before the words were finished, Beitang Xin'er appeared.
She was originally in charge of managing the soup kitchens in the capital, but Chu Liuxiang took Li Hongxiu, Su Rongrong, and Song Tian'er to the capital to help. Beitang Xin'er had some free time and decided to go to the disaster area to help Xu Qingya.
Leng Feng asked, "May I ask your name, young lady?"
Beitang Xin'er said, "My name is Beitang Xin'er, the Grand Steward of the Dragon Guard Manor, and Xu Qingya's junior sister. This is my token. Look at the name of the inn and the rules of the Green Forest Path. Don't you all understand?"
Li Qingming, clutching his sword, asked, "What's the big deal? Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums are considered the noble flowers. There are countless inns named after plum blossoms. Are all these inns shady businesses? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Beitang Xin'er explained, "Red means 'red,' and 'plum' doesn't refer to the plum blossom, but to the eyebrow. So, Red Plum Inn is Red Eyebrow Inn, used to pay tribute to the Red Eyebrow Uprising. Old mountain strongholds that have been passed down for more than three generations will name their outposts at the foot of the mountain Red Plum Inn as a reminder to their fellow martial arts practitioners!"
Yang Huyun added, "It's really strange. There are so many of us chattering away outside, but no waiter has come out to greet us. Gentlemen, let's find another place to rest. We absolutely cannot ruin anything important!"
Li Qingming arrogantly declared, "I'd like to see just how powerful this so-called third-generation bandit is! You think you can make me detour from a mere shady inn? Dream on! I learned internal strength before I even learned to walk. With over twenty years of internal martial arts skills, this inn is nothing but a place I can destroy with a wave of my hand!"
Yang Huyun laughed and said, "It's good to go and take a look! We've traveled for so long; if we continue to endure the elements and sleep in the open, we won't be able to fight off any bandits we encounter!"
Li Qingming entered the inn with his head held high and chest out.
The inn was quiet. The innkeeper was asleep, lying on his abacus, while the waiter, with a broom in one hand and his back against the wall, was fast asleep with his mouth wide open.
Li Qingming walked to the counter: "Manager! I'll take all the empty rooms! Bring up all the wine, meat and vegetables from the kitchen, and boil twenty buckets of hot water. We brothers have been traveling hard and need to soak our feet."
As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot.
The innkeeper was startled awake by the sound of the silver ingot hitting the ground. He looked up at Li Qingming, then at the silver, a sly glint in his eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, he pocketed the silver: "Please sit down, sir. Our inn has been passed down for three generations, and our food, drink, and lodging are all top-notch."
Li Qingming walked towards a table. Watching Li Qingming's back, the shopkeeper's eyes turned fierce, and he suddenly grabbed the abacus with both hands, sending the abacus beads flying.
Li Qingming waved his hand and lifted the tablecloth, flicking all the abacus beads aside. The shopkeeper then forcefully snapped the abacus stand in two, each end a stick and the other a spike, gleaming coldly and wielding a powerful wind.
Leng Feng and the others rushed in. Seeing the two fighting, Yang Huyun explained, "Young Master Li, please be careful! This man is an assassin from Happy Forest!"
Beitang Xin'er explained, "Besides Meng Xinghun, the top assassin, there are ten other skilled assassins hiding in the streets of Kuaihuolin, collectively known as the Ten Assassins of the Streets!"
Escape quickly with the iron axe, and never encounter the silver shuttle.
Killing someone is like killing a pig; fortune telling brings poverty.
The rich fear gold that cannot be exchanged, but the most dangerous thing is a mischievous child.
An old man and three young men, killing each other with a smile.
This old guy is so rich he's afraid of losing even more gold!
Don't act recklessly, there are traps here!
Before she finished speaking, Beitang Xin'er grabbed the chopstick holder from the table and smashed it against the lamp stand on the wall. The lamp stand was knocked down by the chopstick holder and emitted a puff of red smoke.
Beitang Xin'er was prepared and pulled Leng Feng and Yang Huyun backward. Li Qingming heard the warning and, although he was extremely unwilling, he could not stay because of the poisonous gas. He jumped out of the inn through the window. As soon as Li Qingming left the inn, iron plates fell all around him.
"Click-clack-click-clack!"
The inn was encased in iron plates, making it look like an iron barrel!
They've created their own trap and are courting their own demise!
