Sword from Songshan

Chapter 53 External Force
The fourth day of July is the beginning of autumn.

The Dipper points to the southwest, the yang energy gradually decreases and the yin energy gradually increases.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, two men set out from the foot of Mount Song on four fast horses, one heading straight south and the other heading southwest.

"Half a year..."

Lu Nanxing had a serious expression on his face. He kept urging his horse to speed up while pondering in his heart.

In fact, Lu Nanxing would feel uneasy not only if Le Hou was in charge of the Yellow River Gang, but also if anyone else was in charge of the Yellow River Gang.

Only if he takes action personally can it be safe!

So yesterday in the hall, Lu Nanxing proposed that he would be responsible for eradicating the Yellow River Gang.

Le Hou had already decided on this matter, and although it had not yet been announced, it was not a good idea to make a change at the last minute. In addition, Lu Nanxing was still inexperienced, and although the Yellow River Gang was small, it was still a gang of 200 to 300 people, so he might not be capable enough.

Knowing this, but as it concerns his life and property, Lu Nanxing has no choice but to fight for it with all his might.

After a eloquent speech, mainly because Lu Nanxing was so persistent, Zuo Lengchan finally favored his disciple and gave the task of eradicating the Yellow River Gang to Lu Nanxing.

Although we succeeded, there are still many troubles ahead!

How could Le Hou be willing to have his mouth pried open and the fat meat snatched away? After a round of arguments in the palace, Zuo Lengchan, as the head of the sect, had to at least remain fair on the surface, so he only gave Lu Nanxing half a year.

In other words, he wants to completely eradicate the Yellow River Gang before the end of this year!

Now that the Yellow River Gang has the support of the Demon Cult, and since they have openly declared their allegiance to the Demon Cult, how can they not be on guard against the Songshan Sect? Even Le Hou could not guarantee that he could completely eradicate the Yellow River Gang within half a year.

This deadline is quite demanding for Lu Nanxing.

But in order to take on this matter, Lu Nanxing had no choice but to agree.

"hateful."

Thinking back to the time in the palace, when Le Hou looked like he was waiting to see him make trouble, Lu Nanxing felt resentful.

Since the grudge is getting deeper, he might as well just be blunt. Sooner or later, he will deal with this Fourth Guardian!

But we can’t take care of these now. The most urgent task is how to eradicate the Yellow River Gang within half a year!
Putting aside the support from the Demon Cult, the Yellow River Gang itself is not something Lu Nanxing can deal with at the moment.

First of all, even though those two or three hundred gang members were a motley crowd of ruffians and scoundrels, their numbers were there. How long would it take Lu Nanxing to kill them all by himself?

Besides, those people were not fools, how could they just stand there and let Lu Nanxing kill them? Even if they were defeated, they would scatter in a hurry, and how many of them could Lu Nanxing catch up with?

If most of the gang members escape, how can we completely eradicate the Yellow River Gang?

So, Lu Nanxing needs manpower!
Even if we cannot defeat the Yellow River Gang, we will need at least a hundred people to prevent them from fleeing.

As Zuo Lengchan's direct disciple, Lu Nanxing did win over some peripheral disciples in the past few months, but after all, the time was short and their foundation was shallow.

This time, he snatched the job from Le Hou, which not only offended Le Hou, but also angered Fei Bin. After all, this job was originally transferred to Le Hou by Fei Bin.

The two must have reached some kind of deal in private, such as dividing the looted money after eradicating the Yellow River Gang. Now that Lu Nanxing has taken away his job, who else can Fei Bin ask for money?
Having offended two bodyguards at the same time, those peripheral disciples are fence-sitters. Who would be willing to follow Lu Nanxing, let alone help him do this task?

It seems that there is only Zhao Guangjin left.

In addition, no one from the other guards spoke up for Lu Nanxing. After all, it was indeed Lu Nanxing who broke the rules.

In this case, it is impossible to gather people from the Songshan School.

In fact, just asking for manpower is easy. As long as you spend some money, you can recruit some people temporarily in the world.

The key is a master!
The leader of the Yellow River Gang is only second-rate, but the Yellow River Patriarch, who is the supreme elder, is already a first-rate master!
Although it is only the fourth gear, Lu Nanxing is also only in the fourth gear.

Fighting one against two, he was afraid he would not be their match.

"external force……"

If Lu Nanxing wants to eradicate the Yellow River Gang, he needs help!

The first thing he thought of was the government. The Yellow River Gang often robbed and bullied the villagers, and the government should have intervened long ago.

But it is said that the leader of the Yellow River Gang is the brother-in-law of the Kaifeng prefect.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the fact that the Yellow River Gang can be so unscrupulous must mean that they have some connection with the government.

The imperial court and the underworld seem to be clearly separated, but in fact, as long as you have money, everything is easy to talk about. As long as you spend enough money, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court can also be used by you.

But now that I think about it, the Yellow River Gang must pay a lot of tribute to the government every year, and the little money in Lu Nanxing's pocket is just a drop in the bucket.

This way, the government won't be able to get away with it.

Then we can only turn our attention back to the martial arts world.

Who doesn't have a few friends when they are out there? But Lu Nanxing was a rookie, so how could he make any connections?

After searching my mind, there are only two options.

One is the Six Immortals of Taogu!
The Taogu Six Immortals were highly skilled in martial arts, but their minds were flawed, and they probably still thought that they were poisoned by Lu Nanxing. In this case, it should not be difficult for Lu Nanxing to trick them into helping him deal with the Yellow River Gang.

If the Six Immortals of Taogu took action, it would be easy to deal with the Yellow River Ancestor, and Lu Nanxing would not even need to take action.

But the key question is, where are the Six Immortals of Taogu?

These six people are not only weird, but also seem to have no fixed place to live. Even the time traveler Lu Nanxing doesn't know where they live.

Looking for a few people in this vast world is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"He's the only one left!"

If the Six Immortals of Taogu are temporarily unavailable, there will only be one martial artist left that Lu Nanxing has met.

Go!

After thinking it over in his mind, Lu Nanxing's face was as calm as water and he shook the reins hard.

Gear up! Gear up!

At the same time, Zhao Guangjin rode his horse as fast as he could, following Lu Nanxing's instructions and hurrying on his way.

"Oh~!"

While constantly urging his mount, Zhao Guangjin couldn't stop sighing.

The Yellow River Gang had been operating for many years and was indeed a pot of fat meat. He originally thought that if Lu Nanxing assisted Taibao in joining this operation, he would also be able to get some soup if he followed behind, and he could always get a few hundred taels of silver.

No one expected that Lu Nanxing had such a big appetite. He kicked Le Hou away and took over the matter alone!

Now he has offended two guards at the same time, which is also against the rules. No one from Songshan Sect is helping him. How can he possibly eliminate the Yellow River Gang by himself?

"It can only be this way!"

Zhao Guangjin has been a member of Songshan Sect for more than ten years. As an outside disciple with no background or connections, he has never had a chance to make a name for himself. Until recently, Lu Nanxing designed to spread rumors about Hengshan Sect and needed some outside disciples to send him around, and he was one of them.

Having finally gained Lu Nanxing's appreciation, he would naturally hold on to Lu Nanxing's thigh tightly!

He also felt that Lu Nanxing's behavior was extremely inappropriate, but if he abandoned Lu Nanxing like everyone else, he would probably never have a chance to turn things around in his life.

There is no other way, I can only grit my teeth and go all the way with Lu Nanxing!
His only hope at this moment was that Lu Nanxing could come up with other ideas.

Judging from what happened before when he dealt with the Hengshan Sect, Lu Nanxing is extremely cunning and would not easily do anything without confidence.

"What on earth do you mean..."

Zhao Guangjin couldn't help but think of the task Lu Nanxing gave him, and he became confused again.

What is the point of this?
But I can't take care of much right now, I can only do it.

Riding two fast horses, Zhao Guangjin did not rest but traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Sichuan in just seven days!
