Chapter 588 A Big Secret
The lights are bright and the light reflects the water.
There was endless drinking and singing, and the sound of music and singing could be heard all the time.
There are painted boats floating by on the Qinhuai River downstairs in Yuehua. Occasionally, a few sounds of "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" are heard, and there are also women with colorful branches and hand-held fans showing off their grace.
In the Yuehua Tower, there are musicians playing the piano, dancers dressing up, and singers showing their voices. The five rhymes of various music blend together to create a gorgeous and beautiful symphony.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Li, please!"
Zhao Wuji stretched out his hand to invite them, and then he took his seat first and said to Lian Chengbi, "I heard that the Wugou Heroes were traveling in the northwest, and I thought I had no chance to meet these two honorable men this time, but I didn't expect that I was lucky. Just in time."
Lian Chengbi smiled and said, "I have come back from the northwest a long time ago. I have been traveling around the mountains and rivers with nothing to do. I happened to come to Jinling. If I had been two days later, I would have missed Daxia Zhao."
Zhao Wuji laughed loudly and toasted to each other, "This shows that God's will is that Zhao and Brother Lian will get to know each other and become friends."
Liancheng Bi smiled brightly and raised his glass in return, "Brother Zhao, please."
Zhou Zhigang laughed and said, "Brother Zhao is also a famous son in Hebei. He comes from a scholarly family. He and Brother Lian are in harmony with each other from the south to the north. That's how it should be."
Zhao Wuji waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't dare, don't dare. My brother-in-law, Wugou Villa, has been passed down for three hundred years. He himself is a martial arts prodigy. Now his swordsmanship has already been superb. How can Zhao dare to compare?"
"Brother Zhao, you're welcome. The innate Wuji Zhenqi and the Nine-Nine Eighty-One Wuji swordsmanship are also unique in the martial arts world and are powerful in Hebei." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.
"I am extremely honored to be praised by Brother Lian." Zhao Wuji's face glowed brightly and he said humbly, "But I still have self-awareness. I have no problem defeating the Heart-Breaking Swordsman, but I don't dare to show off in front of Brother Lian."
Zhou Zhigang also complimented, "Wugou Villa is the number one family in Jiangnan. Brother Lian's martial arts can also be said to be the best in Jiangnan. There are not many people in the martial arts world who can be called the same as Brother Lian."
Lian Chengbi grabbed Zhou Zhigang and said with a wry smile, "We are friends. It's okay to talk casually in private. We don't dare to say this outside."
Zhou Zhigang smiled and said, "This is a fact, and I'm not bragging. Anyone who dares to have an opinion should kill a person like Sikong Shu first."
Tu Xiaotian was known as the Great Hero of Guandong, the best acupuncture master in the world. He was one of the best in the world of Guandong, and the best master in the entire world. But just killing him was not enough to make people fear him.
As for the one-armed eagle king Sikong Shu, despite his appearance in the original work, his status in the world is one level higher than that of Tu Xiaotian. There are only a few people who are as famous as him, and he has not even had a brief battle with Xiao Shiyilang. Showing defeat.
Therefore, killing Sikong Shu, especially Liancheng Bi who stabbed him through the throat after three moves, made his name famous. His status in the world has risen to a higher level than before, and he has a vague tendency to be the best swordsman in the world.
Zhou Zhigang only said that he was number one in Jiangnan. In fact, he already knew that Lian Chengbi had a quiet temperament and did not want to talk about it, so he deliberately kept it low-key.
"Exactly." Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up and he immediately answered, "Although I am confident in my Wuji swordsmanship, let alone Sikong Shu, I am not sure even when facing that Guandong hero."
Zhou Zhigang asked curiously, "Tu Xiaotian?"
"He is in Guandong and I am in Hebei. They are not far away, so I have met him a few times before." Zhao Wuji nodded and sighed, "But I didn't expect that he would join the Laoshizi Tianzong."
"Yes, Tianzong, talking about Tianzong..." Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but look at Lian Chengbi, "Is Tianzong so powerful? He can actually make people like Tu Xiaotian willing to be his minions."
Zhao Wuji smiled and echoed, "Yes, Tu Xiao Tiandu is just one of the thirty-six incense masters of Tianzong. It can be seen that Tianzong is very powerful, so Brother Lian should be careful!"
Lian Chengbi shook his head in silence, thinking that this time Zhou Zhigang was really sold and had to pay someone else, which was quite in line with his character of being Lian Chengbi's little brother in the original work.
But fortunately, I came prepared this time.
So Lian Chengbi smiled at Zhao Wuji and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhao. That Tu Xiaotian told me a lot of inside information before he died. I already know a lot about Tianzong, so I'm not afraid of them."
Zhao Wuji's eyes flickered, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
learn? Not afraid?
He actually didn't know much about the strength of Tianzong, but similar to Tu Xiaotian, he also guessed a few people when he occasionally participated in Tianzong's actions and cooperated with others.
It can be said that the reputation and martial arts skills of these people are not inferior to his.
What's more, there is also a young master with higher martial arts skills in Tianzong, and a mysterious and unpredictable Mr. Tian.
So ever since he was coerced into joining Tianzong, and then given a slap and a sweet date, he has been sincerely convinced and expressed deep fear and respect for Tianzong's strength.
With such strength, even if Lian Chengbi only knows the tip of the iceberg, he should be very afraid...
How could he not be afraid if he heard a few names from Tu Xiaotian's mouth, and so on for one hundred and eight masters?
If he didn't hear anything from Tu Xiaotian, wouldn't the unknown master be more terrifying?
But if he is afraid, shouldn't he tell everyone that he knows nothing, so as to avoid Tianzong coming to his door?
Or tell those names early, so as to ensure your own safety. After all, an open secret is no longer a secret.
Zhao Wuji was very confused.
Is Liancheng Bi faking it? Is he really not afraid or is he pretending not to be afraid?
If he really wasn't afraid, then what secrets did he learn from Tu Xiaotian? How many secrets did this old man Tu Xiaotian know about Tianzong?
Lian Chengbi's words made Zhao Wuji, who had something to hide, have countless questions in his mind.
"Oh, right!" Zhou Zhigang asked curiously, "Brother Lian, you also learned some things about Tianzong from Tu Xiaotian. Did he tell me about other people who also belong to Tianzong?"
Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up and he immediately replied, "Yes, I heard that Brother Lian got some news about Tianzong from Tu Xiaotian? I wonder if he can tell me. After all, I am in Hebei and very close to Tu Xiaotian."
Lian Chengbi pretended to be mysterious and said, "He not only told me some people from Tianzong, but also told me a big secret."
Zhou Zhigang's gossip fire was burning, "What big secret?"
"Ahem!" But he reacted immediately and said a little embarrassedly, "If it is not convenient to say, Brother Lian, don't tell me."
Lian Chengbi laughed softly, "Brother Zhou is not an outsider. Brother Zhao and I hit it off at first sight. Although this secret is big, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not."
Zhou Zhigang and Zhao Wuji couldn't help but lean over together.
Lian Chengbi said softly, "Tianzong can recruit so many masters because he owns a huge treasure. This treasure is rich enough to rival a country. Not to mention 108 masters, even 10,800 masters can be supported."
"What treasure?"
"Geshu's treasure!"
