Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 525 The landlord really came to the door!
Lu Shaoze and Tang Qi had lived in the mainland for a long time and were only interested in the martial arts sects within the Great Qian Dynasty. They had never actually heard of the Green Robe Pavilion.

In their minds, any sect they had never heard of was just an unknown, insignificant sect.

However, a servant explained:

"Young Master, the Green Robe Pavilion is a newly emerging sect in the Western Desert."

Upon hearing this, the two looked enlightened, but inwardly they didn't believe it.

The Western Desert Sect.

Then it'll be fine.

Throughout history, the more powerful a sect is, the more likely it is to occupy wealthy and prosperous lands.

Only those sects that can't survive will settle in remote, impoverished, and desolate places.

Back in the Great Qian Dynasty, there was a sect that couldn't survive there, so they moved to the Western Desert. Ironically, they became one of the three giants in the Western Desert – the Great Snow Mountain Sect.

This shows that the martial arts sects in the Western Desert are really not as good as those in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Tang Qi immediately said with displeasure:
"Commander, your family is refusing us just to entertain a minor sect from the Western Desert?"

"You'd better think this through. We're here to save your whole family."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Tonglian could only apologize repeatedly.

As for apologizing, he could only try to explain in various ways:
"Yes...it's like this, the one who came this time is the master of the Green Robe Pavilion, so naturally they should be of higher seniority..."

"My father is a pedantic and ignorant scholar who knows nothing about martial arts. Please forgive him, young heroes."

"You two young heroes are truly honored guests of my home. Please come inside quickly."

The owner of Qingyi Tower can be considered the leader of a sect.

In terms of seniority, he is clearly higher than Lu Shaoze and Tang Qi.

Unfortunately, in the martial arts world, seniority is only considered when the power is roughly equal; if the power difference is too great, then only strength matters!

Lu Shaoze snorted coldly:

"Some self-proclaimed 'master' from a barbarian land dares to compare himself to us?"

"I've said my piece, Judge."

"We are going to save lives, and no one can stop us, not even you!"

"Today, whether you let us save you or not, we will still be saved!"

"Junior sister, let's go inside!"

With that, Lu Shaoze, leading Tang Qi, strode confidently toward the Lian family.

The arrogance of the disciples from the major sects was on full display at this moment.

Even though the old man wanted to stop them, the four servants simply waved their hands and pushed him to the side. Fortunately, the magistrate caught him in time so he wouldn't fall.

This angered the old man so much that he glared and his face turned bright red.

The judge, fearing he might offend the distinguished guest, quickly pulled him back:
"Dad! Please stop being ridiculous!"

"There is no Green Robe Pavilion Master here at all! Even if there were, you couldn't invite him!"

"Besides, aren't these two young heroes from the Xuanyuan Sect more reliable than the boss who has yet to be found?"

Even the old man flew into a rage upon hearing this:
"You think I'm being ridiculous?"

"Just wait and see, the poster will definitely come!"

"If the two groups clash in a little while, don't blame me for not warning you!"

After saying that, the old man stubbornly stood at the door, still waiting for the distinguished guest he had invited.

Seeing this, the judge and his wife shook their heads helplessly. They immediately prepared to go inside to entertain the real distinguished guests.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves rang out.

Then, a group of riders appeared in the distance of the street.

The moment they saw this group of riders, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression.

The riders' attire differed from that within the Great Qian territory; each of them was exceptionally burly and fierce, and the chilling killing intent emanating from them indicated that they were all ruthless killers.

"They're from the Western Desert!"

Even the family members recognized the riders as soon as they saw their attire.

Ningzhou is adjacent to the Western Desert, where people from the Western Desert are very common.

Especially since the riders were covered in yellow sand, it was clear they had traveled day and night.

"Could they be from the Green Robe Pavilion?"

Even the old man was a little unsure.

The connectivity rule looked terrified:
"It must be someone from the Marquis of Kuaihuo!"

The Marquis of Kuaihuo's subordinates were a diverse group, including people from the Great Qian Dynasty, the Western Desert, and the Black Dragon Empire.

The menacing appearance of this group made it hard for the judge not to think of them in that direction.

The magistrate immediately instructed his wife and children to hurry inside, so that if they were in danger, the young heroes could help them.

soon.

The group of burly men arrived outside the Lian family's gate and reined in their horses.

Their gazes all turned towards Old Master Lian and Judge Lian.

Faced with so many fierce gazes, the father and son felt as if they had shrunk in size.

A rider patted the remaining yellow sand off his clothes and asked:
"The Lian family?"

The father and son nodded subconsciously.

Then, the rider waved his hand, and all the riders simultaneously dismounted.

Old Master Lian hurriedly asked:

"May I ask who you are...?"

But the riders did not answer and barged into the Lian family's house.

They entered the Lian family's courtyard but did nothing but look around carefully, lifting up each flowerpot to examine it closely, as if trying to determine if there were any hidden mechanisms or secret passages.

Some people even climbed onto the wall and drew the surrounding terrain features on a piece of paper in their palms, while occasionally asking the Lian family about the situation of the neighbors.

They not only inspected the courtyard, but also went into the main hall.

This led to their encounter with Lu Shaoze, Tang Qi, and the four servants.

Who are you people?

Lu Shaoze was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, and asked in a deep voice to the burly men who had come to the entrance of the reception hall.

He and Tang Qi had already started eating the food on the table, clearly not intending to wait for anyone.

The burly man in the lead retorted:
"Who are you?"

Lu Shaoze said in a deep voice:

"Xuanyuan Sect, Lu Shaoze."

The burly men heard this but didn't say a word; they simply turned and left.

They quickly left the Lian family's courtyard, mounted their horses, and rode away along the same route.

This scene left the Lian family members looking at each other in bewilderment, clearly not understanding what was going on.

Tang Qi chuckled softly:
"Is this the Green Robe Pavilion?"

"They ran away in a huff just because they heard the name of our Xuanyuan Sect?"

Lu Shaoze and his four servants also burst into laughter.

Even the family members dared not laugh.

Because they always felt that this was not the end, but merely the beginning.

As it turned out, their hunch was correct.

soon.

Several camel carts appeared outside.

These camel carts were clearly of the Western Desert style. Many people got off the carts and, without saying a word, began moving all sorts of things from the carts toward the Lian family.

Upon closer inspection, the Lian family saw that what had been moved into their home consisted of luxurious tables and chairs, exquisite tableware, expensive ingredients, and special kitchen utensils.

And one of them was clearly a professional chef, who immediately set up a meal in the Lian family home.

Some people even laid out expensive carpets on the ground, stretching from the Lian family's courtyard all the way to the center of the street in front of the Lian family's gate.

What's most remarkable is that these people are well-trained and work in an orderly manner. No matter how much their families ask them questions, they remain silent and quietly get to work.

All of this left the Lian family and the Xuanyuan Sect members speechless with astonishment.

Even the old man suddenly realized:
"It must be the owner of the Green Robe Pavilion coming!"

"The host's people noticed that the food we were supposed to eat had been touched, so they sent their own chef over to cook it."

"I'm ashamed, I'm truly ashamed!"

"I have actually neglected the host; I'm afraid this has displeased the host..."

After saying this, the old man beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling extremely annoyed.

The judge and his wife exchanged bewildered glances.

Could it be... that someone from the Qingyi Pavilion is really coming to visit?

Otherwise, none of this can be explained.

Upon seeing this, Lu Shaoze's face showed displeasure, and he said in a deep voice:
"Qingyi Tower, what a grand display!"

Tang Qi also pouted:

"You're putting on such a big show in front of us, I'd like to see if you really have three heads and six arms!"

The Lian family felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this.

The old man's words have indeed come true.

The clash between the Xuanyuan Sect and the Qingyi Tower is bound to cause conflict.

At this moment, the judge was filled with bitterness, clearly not expecting things to develop this way.

soon.

The chef had already prepared a table of food and drinks, and then all the guests arrived at the Lian family's door.

Clearly, the main character is here.

"Go out and see!"

Lu Shaoze slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and walked out with Tang Qi and four servants.

Even the family members couldn't sit still and hurriedly followed him out.

Just as everyone had taken their positions, several carriages slowly approached from afar. These carriages were clearly expensive to build, especially the one in the middle, which was so large it resembled a mobile house. One glance was enough to tell that the person qualified to ride in this carriage was no ordinary person.

As the caravan approached, the largest carriage came to a stop at the edge of the carpet.

The car door opened, and a young man stepped out of the carriage.

The young man looked so young that it was hard to believe he owned such a luxurious carriage.

In particular, he was not good-looking; his appearance was so ordinary that he would be hard to spot in a crowd.

His clothes were very ordinary, without any trace of luxury or extravagance; rather, they were primarily for comfort.

In particular, he had a friendly smile on his face.

He slowly glanced at the crowd at the Lian family's gate, his gaze finally settling on Old Master Lian:

"Excuse me, are you Grandpa Liancheng?"

Upon hearing this, even the old man stepped forward excitedly:
"it's me!"

"May I ask if you are the master of the Green Robe Pavilion?"

Upon hearing this, the young man cupped his hands in a salute and smiled:
"I am Meng Xinghun, and I apologize for disturbing you today."

The person who came was Liang Jin.

Upon hearing this, Judge Lian and his wife were so shocked that they stared in disbelief, their mouths agape for a long time.

My own grandfather really invited the master of the Qingyi Tower, who dominates the Western Desert?
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, who would believe it if they told others?
"Please come in quickly!"

"Master Meng, please come in!"

Even the old man hurriedly greeted him.

Liang Jin nodded and instructed his men:

"Remove all the brothers and carriages from the street, so as not to cause inconvenience to the old man's neighbors."

His men quickly sprang into action.

The convoy and its entourage that had just arrived vanished from the street in a flash, as if they had never been there at all.

Afterwards, Liang Jin followed Old Master Lian into the Lian family home, with several core members of the Green Robe Tower following behind him.

Soon, they passed by the Xuanyuan Sect members.

But Liang Jin was chatting and laughing with Old Master Lian and didn't seem to notice the others.

This prompted Lu Shaoze to loudly remind him:
"We are from the Xuanyuan Sect!"

These words finally caught Liang Jin's attention.

He turned to look at Lu Shaoze and the others, then nodded and smiled, and waved gently.
"Hello you all."

His tone was gentle, clearly a greeting to Lu Shaoze.

As he said this, Liang Jin continued walking.

After saying this, Liang Jin and Old Master Lian walked past Lu Shaoze and the others and entered the courtyard.

This left Lu Shaoze and his companions standing there, utterly embarrassed.

They felt like a bunch of nobody craving attention, just a big shot passing by and giving them a casual greeting.

This embarrassment made them feel utterly humiliated, and they wished they could disappear into the ground.

Not only did they lose face, but they even lost face for the Xuanyuan Sect!

Tang Qi also complained:

"Senior brother, what does that Green Robe Pavilion Master take us for?"

"We are from the Xuanyuan Sect, how can we let others look down on us like this?"

"Senior brother, you absolutely must regain your dignity!"

The four servants couldn't speak, but they clearly felt that Lu Shaoze had been overshadowed by Liang Jin in terms of presence.

Lu Shaoze's face was ashen, and he said in a deep voice:
"What's the point of playing these tricks? Real skills are what truly matter!"

"Let's go in too, and see if I can find a chance to teach those Green Robe Towers a lesson!"

With that, Lu Shaoze led everyone back to the Lian family home.

Judge Lian and his wife remained standing there, unable to recover for a long time.

The streets have returned to normal, the sky is gradually darkening, and night is slowly enveloping the earth.

If it weren't for the commotion in the courtyard, they probably would have thought it was all a dream.

half an hour.

Madam Lian finally came to her senses and asked tremblingly:
"Sir, with so many people helping our family, then... are we alright now?"

As Madam Lian asked the question, Judge Lian also realized what was going on.

He said anxiously:

"We don't know if we're alright, but we can't let these two groups fight."

"Otherwise, if they make a move, our homes will be torn down."

"Even if we don't die tonight, we're still doomed!"

Having offended both Qingyi Tower and Xuanyuan Sect, do they still want to stay in Ximo and Daqian?

The judge hurriedly led his wife back to the Lian family home and closed the door behind them.

At this time, the Lian family was at home.

The Xuanyuan Sect members occupied the guest hall.

Liang Jin, however, did not mind. He had already instructed his men to set out the food and wine in the courtyard.

After Liang Jin took his seat, he invited his family members to sit down as well.

Even after his family repeatedly declined, he could only sit down with a look of shame on his face.

Their family had prepared food and wine to welcome their distinguished guests, but to their surprise, the food and wine were all eaten by the people from the Xuanyuan Sect.

Now, it is the guests who bring them food and drinks, which makes them feel that they have lost their way in hospitality.

Even the old man looked guilty:
"My family originally had something to ask of you, Master Meng, but we never expected to be so disrespectful to you."

"I am truly ashamed!"

Judge Lian and his wife stood by, heads bowed, saying nothing.

Liang Jin smiled and said:

"I've heard about what happened in your family, but it's nothing serious."

"I've heard that Grandpa Lian is quite knowledgeable about ancient scripts and can be considered a master in this field?"

"I happen to have some questions about this and would like to ask the old man for advice."

The old man was a Hanlin scholar of the previous dynasty, and his talent was unparalleled.

His expertise in ancient Chinese characters is particularly outstanding; he even presided over the compilation of history during his time as an official in the Dayu Dynasty, making him a true giant in the field of ancient writing.

Unfortunately, after the change of dynasties, he gradually disappeared from the field of ancient writing and became unknown.

Liang Jin was able to find out about Old Master Lian through information from the Hualongmen.

Because this old man Liancheng was actually a spy left behind by the Hualongmen in the Daqian territory!

Furthermore, he was also a crucial link in the Dragon Transformation Sect's secret intelligence network within the Great Qian territory.

Liancheng used his professional knowledge to invent many methods of encrypting intelligence, which made it impossible for the Daqian court to decipher them, thus ensuring the security of the Hualongmen spy network.

Upon hearing that Liang Jin needed his help, Lian Cheng hurriedly assured him:

"Please, Master Meng, speak freely!"

"The old man will certainly do his best!"

Liang Jin nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the promise Liancheng had given him.

He immediately spoke:

"I wonder if Grandpa Lian has ever heard of the Dragon Armor Divine Book?"

Upon hearing this, even the old man's expression turned serious.

He becomes exceptionally serious when it comes to his area of ​​expertise:

"The Dragon Armor Divine Book, nowadays there are probably not many people in the world who know this kind of ancient script."

"To be honest, I was once commissioned by the Ministry of Rites of the previous dynasty to participate in a mission concerning the Dragon Armor Divine Book. At that time, it was the late emperor who issued the decree..."

Even the old man paused here.

Then he lowered his voice and said:

"Some things involve matters from the previous dynasty, which I can only discuss in detail with Master Meng."

Even the old man was loyal to the Hualongmen, which was an organization left over from the previous dynasty.

Therefore, even the old man had to be cautious when discussing matters related to the previous dynasty's court.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin had no opinion whatsoever.

"Okay, let's eat first."

"After we finish our meal and take care of the Lian family's affairs, we can discuss this in detail later."

Immediately, Liang Jin began eating and drinking with Old Master Lian.

However, the judge and his wife were completely confused by their conversation.

It sounded as if Liang Jin and Old Master Lian had known each other for a long time.

Even though the two racked their brains to recall, they couldn't remember when Liang Jintong and Old Master Lian had started their contact.

On the other side.

Lu Shaoze and the others from the Xuanyuan Sect sat in the guest hall, but no one entertained them or paid them any attention.

Everyone was eating, drinking, and laughing in the courtyard, making the Xuanyuan faction and their group seem like unwelcome outsiders.

This was something Lu Shaoze could no longer tolerate!
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, ready to explode.

Can be sudden.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

As soon as the knocking sounded, everyone in the Lian family froze.

Now that what's meant to come has come, there shouldn't be any more guests coming.

That means that those who have arrived at this time are probably the ones who shouldn't have come.

A knock on the door was followed by a voice:
"I am Li Wei, the commander of the Six Doors in Ningzhou."

"Having heard that my junior brothers and sisters from the Xuanyuan Sect have arrived, I have come here specifically to meet them!"
