Chapter 289 Lao JianghuThe City Lord's Mansion of Liangcheng is quite grand. The gate is tall, and the surface of the red sandalwood gate is carved with dragons, phoenixes, cloud patterns, etc. Shi Feizhe could see clearly that the threshold of the City Lord's Mansion was high and wide. It might be a bit difficult for ordinary people to get in. Since it was someone's treat, Shi Feizhe would naturally enter through the main entrance. Most people could only enter through the side door. After entering the gate, you will see that the city lord's mansion is full of white walls and flying eaves. The closed doors are also carved with auspicious animal patterns such as unicorns and phoenixes, making the entire door look a bit complicated. As for the pillars, it goes without saying that there are paintings of plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, flowers, birds, fish and insects. Coupled with the winding corridors, Shi Feizhe felt that the style here was different from that of the Central Plains, but there was something similar. Unexpectedly, Xu Jinglu did not take Shi Feizhe to the reception room, but to a garden in the backyard. The garden is filled with exotic flowers and plants, arranged in an orderly manner. The most important thing is that there is a several-acre living water pool in the middle of the garden.
There was an old man lying on a stone bench beside the pond, fishing in a half-asleep state. "Why are you alone?" Gu Wanggui asked, "Have you invited anyone?" Xu Jinglu looked at Shi Feizhe and said, "There is clearly someone else next to me!" Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, so he whispered to Gu Wanggui: "Boss Gu, the people from Yangzhou came with me." After saying that, he subconsciously moved away from Shi Feizhe. Horrible, terrible! This is a master that even Boss Gu didn't notice! "Huh?" Gu Wanggui was startled and turned over, and saw Shi Feizhe beside Xu Jinglu looking at him with a smile. Such a big person walked several feet away from him, but he didn't even notice him. "May I know your name, sir? I am sorry that I did not recognize you and was unable to greet you from afar!" Gu Wanggui did not pretend to be a cool fisherman and immediately bowed and said. Damn it, I asked you, Xu Jinglu, to invite a passerby from Yangzhou, but why did you invite a monster instead? He was right in front of me, and I could barely see him. Are there such people in the world? Gu Wanggui looked at Shi Feizhe, he looked just ordinary! Shi Feizhe was also looking at Gu Wanggui. Gu Wangui was not tall, only as tall as Shi Feizhe's shoulders. He was dressed in casual clothes and looked plain, like an ordinary thin old man, but his complexion was ruddy, giving him a feeling of a youthful face despite white hair. "I am Shi Feizhe!" said Shi Feizhe. "Shi..." Gu Wanggui was startled and almost said the three words "Shi Lao Mo"! But he stopped and said, "Shi Overlord!" Xu Jinglu, who was standing next to him, felt a jolt in his heart. How could it be him? There is only one Shi Feizhe in the world, and only he is such a big devil! To Gu Wanggui and Xu Jinglu, Shi Feizhe is a big devil who does all kinds of evil. They were living their own lives in Mianyang City, when suddenly the big devil sent his men to attack Jingzhou. They attacked Jingzhou, and ended up publicly trying and beheading the city lord.
The charges used were ones they couldn't understand. Things like extortion, buying low and selling high, loan sharking, bullying men and women, etc. are simply incomprehensible! Can a real warrior be convicted with such a reason? Stand up for the untouchables and kill the real warriors. There has never been such a truth in the world of martial arts from ancient times to the present! What can the untouchables do? Real warriors are very strong! Talking to such a person? Gu Wanggui felt cold sweat on his back, but he forced himself to remain calm. Anyway, he didn't have many years left to live, so what was there to be afraid of? After giving up everything, he became calm instead. I’m not afraid of death, so what else should I be afraid of? "Overlord? What a strange title." Shi Feizhe shook his head and said, "Just call me Shi Feizhe." Gu Wanggui regained his composure and said, "I have read in ancient books that in ancient times, those who fought for hegemony over the world, if they controlled two states, would be qualified to fight for the world and be called the hegemon!" "This is not popular in Yangzhou. You can call me Shi Feizhe." Shi Feizhe still refused. Overlord, overlord, doesn't sound like a good guy. "Then..." Gu Wanggui thought for a moment and said, "Just call me Your Excellency! Your Excellency controls the lands of three continents, and one day he will be able to unify the nine continents. It is really an honor for my humble home that you can visit me!" "You are wrong. It's not three states. With Liangzhou, it's six states!" Shi Feizhe said, "More than half of the nine states have fallen into the hands of our Jianghu Reform Committee!" Liangzhou! Six states! Gu Wanggui was shocked when he heard Shi Feizhe say it so openly. He was shocked that the martial arts world was unified again. He was also shocked that Yangzhou was going to attack Liangzhou. Using the current Liangzhou to confront Yangzhou, which controls five states, is like hitting a rock with an egg. "Hey~" Gu Wanggui laughed at himself, lowered his attitude, and said: "We in Liangcheng are willing to open the gates to welcome the king's teacher. We only hope that you can spare the lives of our family." "Just a family of old and young? He doesn't count?" Shi Feizhe pointed at Xu Jinglu who was standing silently aside. Xu Jinglu lowered his head, expressionless, and said nothing. When Gu Wanggui was talking to Shi Feizhe, there was no need for him to interrupt at all. "It would be great if you could spare him and my other men. But I'm afraid you won't spare them!" Gu Wanggui said with a sigh. It’s not that I didn’t plead for mercy, but I knew that even if I pleaded for mercy, Shi Feizhe probably wouldn’t agree. He kicked the ball to Shi Feizhe. "Actually, you don't treat them as human beings, right?" Shi Feizhe looked at Xu Jinglu and said. "It's not that I don't treat them as human beings, but the world is like this. I am also one of those people who follow the crowd and learn from others. I am also one of those people who go with the flow!" Gu Wanggui passed the blame to others again. It's like this in the world, he's not the only one. "So, the Jianghu is gone." Shi Feizhe said with a laugh.
Gu Wanggui's eyelids jumped. Shi Feizhe's blunt words made him uncomfortable. But he was an old hand, so he continued, "Sir, I like to follow the crowd the most." "Yangzhou is now the mainstream of Kyushu. I am willing to learn and make progress." "I can be a hero too!" What he meant was that it was all the fault of the martial arts world. If he had met Yangzhou, wouldn’t he have become a hero? "Since you want to be a hero, why don't you distribute all the land under the name of the City Lord's Mansion to ordinary people in Liangcheng, dismiss all the servants in your mansion, and burn all the IOUs owed to your mansion." Shi Feizhe looked at him and said with a smile. “This…” Gu Wanggui looked at the smiling Shi Feizhe and said with a stiff face, “Those are the savings of several generations of us. Those servants left the City Lord’s Mansion and had no means of making a living.” "It's better to stay at home and have a meal. Those IOUs..." "It is only natural to pay back your debts!" Shi Feizhe laughed and said, "Haha~ So, the servants in your house should thank you!" Ha ha
