He naturally felt happy and relieved when someone was working hard for him. If all his problems in the future could be solved by his subordinates just by saying a few words, then life would be wonderful.
......
Xingyun Villa, in the reception room.
The owner of Xingyun Manor paced back and forth in the hall, looking a little anxious.
"The owner of the village!"
Outside the door, several grandmaster-level experts came in, each with an ugly look on their face.
"Have you found the military advisor?" asked the owner of Xingyun Manor anxiously.
"no!"
A hunchbacked old man in his fifties shouted angrily, "If nothing unexpected happened, that traitor would have slipped away after we gathered to discuss important matters a few days ago!"
The owner of Xingyun Villa was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that our military advisor is not optimistic about our Xingyun Villa!"
The hunchbacked old man snorted, “He’s just a rat. I’ve always felt that he had some bad intentions!
We have so many experts and have been operating in the Southern Song Dynasty for so many years. Even if a top-ranked Xuanyi Guard comes, what will happen? Is it necessary to be so scared?
Manor Master, I have received news that the Xuanyiwei Hundred Households in various counties of Jiangnan Prefecture are mobilizing troops. They must be trying to shake up the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty martial arts world, just like they did thirty years ago.
What should we do next?"
The owner of Xingyun Manor was silent for a moment, as if he was extremely conflicted.
Finally, he clenched his fists and said coldly, "What you did back then, you will do today!
Remember to hide your identity!
This legacy was not easy to come by, so even if it's a first-class Xuanyi Guard, we have to give it a try!"
Chapter 237 is coming so fast!
In Xingyun Villa, the owner stood on a nine-story watchtower.
On weekdays, he likes to stand here and overlook the mountains. Standing here, he has a feeling that everything is under his control.
The entire Jiangnan Prefecture, and even the entire Southern Song Dynasty's martial arts world, seemed to be completely taken in by him. The feeling of hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything made him intoxicated.
He had long been addicted to this kind of intoxication, addicted to this feeling of being able to call the wind and rain and having tremendous power.
The owner of Xingyun Villa is not stupid. He knows very well that even smart people like the military advisor have run away. It is obvious that Xingyun Villa is now in a precarious situation and may be destroyed at any time.
If it were more than 30 years ago, he would have brought a group of people out to sea from Mingzhou, and arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty after many twists and turns. He had no territory and no foundation, so naturally he would not choose to confront the first-class Xuanyi Guards head-on.
But it’s no longer possible now. Xingyun Mountain Villa is a large and powerful family with a solid foundation. A group of brothers followed him and worked hard in the Southern Song Dynasty for thirty years to build this huge family business. How could he give it up so easily?
Everyone has become accustomed to being high and mighty, and to the pleasure of being the ancestor here. It is simply impossible to ask them to abandon their homes and businesses and follow him to start a new business!
Looking up at the sky, the owner of Xingyun Manor lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep breath to ease his nervous and anxious mood.
"Hu~~"
With a frown on his face, he laughed at himself, "Power moves people's hearts, this glamorous world is fascinating, but I can't avoid being vulgar after all!
Forget it, since you can’t let it go, let’s just give it a try!
Thirty years ago, I dared to challenge the Xuanyi Guards, and now, I still dare to do so! "
On the other side, at the Xingyun Villa martial arts training ground, eight thousand warriors wearing black armor have been gathered together.
These eight thousand people exuded a strong murderous aura and were all wearing heavy armor. As they moved towards that station in a black mass, a strong smell of blood filled the air.
In the village, some retired old masters were alarmed, and a few old guys even walked out of their secluded rooms and watched from afar.
"Is this something big going to happen?"
An old man frowned and said, "It took decades of resources at Xingyun Villa to accumulate these eight thousand Xingyun soldiers, and now they're all gathered together. What is Feng Lun planning to do?"
The Xingyun Army of Xingyun Villa is a terrifying force that is feared by the people in the Southern Song Dynasty.
If you want to join this army, the entry test requires you to reach the peak of the acquired realm. In addition, there are strict requirements for your body movements, strength, and martial arts moves.
Ten people form a team, the team leader is an innate warrior, one hundred people form a battalion, and each centurion is an innate master who has condensed a flower.
A thousand men form an army, and the captains who lead an army are all high-ranking officials in the villa, with martial arts master-level cultivation.
In the past, even if some forces in the martial arts world provoked Xingyun Villa, they could usually just send out a few teams of people to deal with it. Even if they encountered tough opponents, at most they would send out an army of a thousand people.
The martial arts master led an army of thousands of warriors. Not to mention ordinary sects, even the Xuanyiwei Qianhusuo Yamen in various prefectures in the Southern Song Dynasty had to submit obediently.
And like now, all eight thousand Nebula soldiers have gathered, and eight thousand commanders stand above the dark army formation like human-shaped demons. This is the first time such a situation has appeared since the establishment of Nebula Villa.
hum~~
The old man's figure flashed and disappeared like a bubble. When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the watchtower where the owner of Xingyun Manor was.
"Feng Lun, what happened?"
Seeing who was coming, Feng Lun, the owner of Xingyun Manor, was delighted. "Senior Sun has come out of seclusion?"
At that moment, he said in a deep voice: "The Xuanyi Guards have started to cause trouble again. In just one month, Xiahou, Xie Changan and my only son were killed one after another.
After investigation, it was found that a first-class Xuanyi Guard was most likely sent from the imperial capital to the territory of Jiangnan Prefecture.
If nothing unexpected happens, the other party is coming for our Xingyun Villa!"
"First-class Xuanyi Guard?" Senior Sun frowned subconsciously, his expression instinctively showing fear.
When he was young, he once witnessed a first-class Xuanyi Guard taking action. At that time, almost all the underworld forces in the prefecture were razed to the ground. That incident left him with a huge psychological trauma.
Hearing this name again, his first reaction was to leave.
But before he could speak, Feng Lun, the owner of Xingyun Manor, continued, "Originally, I wanted to retreat temporarily and take my men away. There was no need to confront the First-Class Xuanyi Guards head-on.
But as you know, seniors, we have lived here for more than 30 years, and have lived in peace and stability for more than 30 years. Many people have already given birth to children and started their own families here.
This is our home. We've all had enough of leaving our hometown. Now, asking them to abandon their homes and businesses with their families is something we absolutely don't agree with!"
Senior Sun sighed, "A first-class Xuanyi Guard is not easy to deal with!"
Feng Lun nodded. "It's not easy, but we have to try, right? Rather than dying outside, everyone would rather die at home.
Besides, we are no longer the same as we were thirty years ago. With the development of Xingyun Villa, we are now fully capable of fighting against the first-class Xuanyi Guards!
You don't need to win, you just need the other party to be cautious and willing to maintain the status quo.
At worst, we can just give up some of our interests."
Seeing that Senior Sun was about to speak, Feng Lun continued, "Senior, times have changed. The Imperial Capital's Xuanyi Guards are indeed very powerful, but according to information from our spies, the Emperor and the Xuanyi Guards are at odds with each other. They are so busy bickering with each other that they don't care about the situation in other states at all.
Being able to send a first-class Xuanyi Guard to the Southern Song Dynasty is probably the limit of the imperial capital. As long as we can survive this disaster, the Southern Song Dynasty will be fine in the future!
A First-Class Xuanyi Guard is also a human being, and has his own interests and needs. If we give him some more benefits and give him a share of the annual cultivation resources, he may acquiesce to our Xingyun Villa's dominance in the Southern Song Dynasty."
Senior Sun hesitated for a moment, "What you said is not bad, but the premise is that we have to survive the opponent's first wave of attack.
According to what you said, the other party is definitely here to establish their authority. It is impossible to negotiate at the beginning. If they can't even withstand the first wave of attacks..."
Feng Lun immediately spoke up, "If that's the case, then we accept it! There's nothing much to say if we're not as strong as others!"
But no matter what, we have to give it a try. If we don't even have the courage to try, and just abandon our homes and run away, the people will be scattered, and how can we lead this team in the future?"
boom!
At this moment, a sharp sword sound was heard in the distant sky, like thunder exploding in the void. The rumbling sound spread for dozens of miles, shaking the earth.
Feng Lun and Senior Sun's expressions changed, and they felt heavy in their hearts.
"It's coming so fast!"
Chapter 238 What does Ye Jiansheng mean?
In the eyes of everyone in Xingyun Villa, they saw a sword light so bright that it was impossible to open their eyes. It suddenly appeared like thunder and fell from the sky with bursts of dragon roars.
scoff!
The terrifying sharpness of the sword energy, with its frightening power over heaven and earth, was like a sharp giant claw reaching out from the void, tearing a ravine with no end in sight outside the Xingyun Villa!
The ravine was bottomless. Under the tearing of the sword energy, mud, sand, rocks, flowers, plants, trees, everything collapsed and turned into dust all over the sky.
Thick smoke billowed, and the atmosphere of war reached its peak at this moment.
"hiss!"
Feng Lun sucked in a breath of cold air. Standing on the watchtower, he saw it most clearly. The sword energy that fell from the sky tore a deep ravine nearly a thousand meters long outside the village!
Like a natural chasm, it completely separated the outside world from Nebula Villa.
Feng Lun's arms trembled slightly, his palms clenched tightly, and he said in a depressed mood, "Senior Sun, are all the first-class Xuanyi Guards so strong?"
Senior Sun nodded solemnly, "The first-class Xuanyi Guard named Lu that I met back then was also so terrifying. Calculating the time, with his terrifying power, he must have already been promoted to Grandmaster by now!"
"The Great Zhou Xuanyi Guards!" Feng Lun sighed with envy and fear, and said, "Senior, do you think it's possible for us Grandmasters to win if we all rush in together?"
Senior Sun hesitated for a moment, "Including you, plus the two who are still in seclusion, we have four Shuanghua Grandmasters.
Add to that the sixteen ordinary Grandmasters currently existing in Zhuangzi. If they work together properly, I can't say we can win, but we can at least hold him back for a while."
"That's enough!" Feng Lun breathed a sigh of relief. "We don't need to win, but as long as we don't lose, that's fine. If the stalemate continues, we have a chance for peace talks!"
boom!
At this moment, outside the villa, a black shadow fell from the sky. As the distance got closer, many people in the villa could see clearly that it was a huge rock several feet high.
Bang!
The boulder fell to the ground, with half of it embedded in the soil. On the top of the boulder that was exposed above the ground, six large characters were written in blood - Anyone leaving the village without permission will be killed!
"Anyone who leaves the village without permission will be put to death?"
In the martial arts arena, the Nebula Army has become noisy. Some people are afraid, but more people are aroused to rebel.
The captain of one of the ten-man teams shouted, "Brothers, follow me out of the villa. I want to see what kind of monsters dared to run wild in our Xingyun Villa!"
Everyone knows that the master outside the village who has not appeared yet is very powerful.
But the Nebula Army believed that no matter how strong the enemy was, their own masters were even stronger. They had encountered opponents over the past few decades, but every time, they were all beaten to pieces by the old masters in the village.
Over time, the belief that Xingyun Villa is invincible has been ingrained in the minds of the people in the villa.
Even though they were afraid in their hearts, the pride in their bones drove them not to give in. Three team leaders had already led the team members behind them and walked out of the gate of the villa.
Then, under the watchful eyes of eight thousand Nebula soldiers and tens of thousands of villagers, the three teams that walked out of the village had just stepped out of the gate when they exploded without warning and turned into a bloody mist.
The death was unclear, and no one even knew who the enemy was, where he was, or how he attacked.
"The other party's control over the power of heaven and earth is far superior to you and me!" The thought of running away that had just been suppressed in Senior Sun's heart rose again.
Feng Lun flew up, stood on the gate of the villa, and shouted loudly to the distant sky: "I am Feng Lun, the owner of Xingyun Villa, and I am honored to meet you, Your Excellency.
Since you have already made your move, why don't you show yourself?"
hum~~
The moment his voice fell, a white shadow appeared between heaven and earth, like a floating cloud and a startled wild goose, stepping into the air from between heaven and earth.
The other party did not show any aura and looked very calm, but it was this calmness that made everyone in the Nebula Villa's hearts beat wildly and feel inexplicable pressure.
The pressure is invisible and intangible, but it is real, as if a mountain is pressing down on everyone's hearts. The feeling of heaviness and powerlessness caused many Nebula soldiers to collapse directly to the ground.
Ye Gucheng, dressed in white like an immortal, walked over with his hands behind his back, and landed on the huge rock in the spotlight of the crowd. He looked aloof and arrogant, as if no one in this world could catch his eye.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Feng Lun tried to test the situation. The other party was not wearing the official uniform of the Xuanyiwei, nor did he have a first-class Xuanyiwei token on his waist. This was somewhat different from what he had expected.
Could it be that the intelligence was wrong, and the ones who wanted to deal with their Xingyun Villa were not the Xuanyi Guards, but unknown forces from other states?
"Ye Gucheng!"
Old Ye just uttered these three words and stopped talking. He just looked at the sky calmly, without even looking at Feng Lun or the other people in the village.
It seemed that as long as no one in the village came out, he would not take action.
"Ye Gucheng?"
Senior Sun was somewhat unfamiliar with this name. When he left Mingzhou, Ye Gucheng had not yet risen, and he did not know what this name meant in this era.
But Feng Lun thought for a moment, then showed surprise on his face, "Mingzhou, Sword Saint Ye Gucheng?"
