Chapter 186 Arrival
Chapter 186 Arrival
The Iron Blood Hall Camp!
After several days of travel, the group finally arrived here.
The Tiexuetang built a fortress here. There were no civilians in the fortress, only disciples of the Tiexuetang stationed there.
However, now that a war has broken out with the Fiery Hall, more than ten thousand people have gathered and even a small fortress is already overcrowded.
Although Chu Qing's group was small in number, they included two important figures from the Iron Blood Hall.
There is a deputy hall master Cheng Tieshan, and a eldest daughter Tie Chuqing.
Therefore, Tie Lingyun led the crowd to meet them before they even arrived.
The Tiexue Hall is a huge force. Under the command of the grand hall master Tie Lingyun, there are a total of 18 hall masters, 36 flag masters, and elders who are in charge of passing on skills, enforcing the law, etc.
Except for those who were unable to spare, everyone followed Tie Lingyun out to greet them.
At first glance, it looks densely packed and crowded.
Tie Lingyun took the lead and saw Tie Chuqing in the crowd as soon as he arrived. His eyes immediately turned red:
"Xiao Qing'er!"
"father!!"
Tie Chuqing's eyes also turned red. She flew out of the crowd and threw herself into her father's arms.
"Okay, okay, it's okay."
Tie Lingyun reached out and patted his daughter on the shoulder, sighing:
"Ever since I let you leave the camp, I have been feeling uneasy. When I heard that you were abducted, I couldn't sleep or eat...
"I thought I would never see you again."
Tie Chuqing sniffed and said:
"I was captured by Prince Mei...it was the Third Young Master who saved me."
As she spoke, she turned around and looked at Chu Qing.
Tie Lingyun then noticed Chu Qing in the crowd and wiped his face with his hand:
"Third Young Master, I am sorry to have embarrassed you.
"You rescued my daughter twice...
"Please accept my greetings from Tie Lingyun!!"
He knelt down while speaking.
Seeing this, the people behind him looked at each other and knelt down one after another.
Chu Qing turned around, took a step forward and supported Tie Lingyun's arm:
"You don't have to do this, Grand Master. I just happened to be there."
However, he could only support one person, but not everyone. The group of people behind him were kneeling on the ground.
Chu Qing had no choice but to say:
"Let them all get up."
Tie Lingyun looked back and waved his hand, and everyone stood up.
At this moment, Cheng Tieshan also stepped forward:
"Master, I am back too. If it weren't for the Third Young Master's rescue, you wouldn't be able to see me."
"..."
Tie Lingyun was speechless for a moment, and everyone looked at each other, wondering whether they should kneel again.
This eldest lady and the deputy hall master were both saved one after another, and all by one person...the favor they owe is really huge.
Tie Lingyun took a deep breath:
“Third Young Master, let’s not talk about what happened before, but if you need my Iron Blood Hall in the future, as long as you ask, I, Tie Lingyun, will obey you!!”
"You are too kind, Grand Master... It was just a coincidence that we were able to catch up."
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"But if there is a need for the Grand Master in the future, I will never be polite."
"Okay, that's it!"
Tie Lingyun laughed out loud when he heard that, but after laughing twice, he started coughing violently.
Tie Chuqing was stunned:
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"fine."
Tie Lingyun waved his hand:
“I had a fight with the Liehuotang two days ago, and was tricked by Beitang Lie. I was only hit by his Nine-Fire Burning Palm.
"This injury can't do anything to me."
"Oh?"
Chu Qing glanced at him and indeed found red in his eyes.
The Nine Fierce Burning Divine Art generates energy from the heart, stirring people's fire, and the pure yang energy fills the meridians. I'm afraid it's not easy to bear.
Then he opened his mouth and said:
"Master, allow me to have a look."
Tie Lingyun was stunned, but still stretched out his hand:
"Thank you for your help, Third Young Master."
Chu Qing didn't say anything, his fingertips rested on his wrist, and the inner energy of the Mingyu Sutra suddenly came out, running along the meridians.
The burning energy lingering in Tie Lingyun's meridians was immediately annihilated by Chu Qing's Mingyu Sutra.
After his internal energy circulated for a while, when Chu Qing let go of his hand, Tie Lingyun felt that the anger that had been suppressed for two days was completely gone.
Although the flesh wounds are still there, without the true energy disturbing the body, those flesh wounds are insignificant.
Tie Lingyun blinked and looked at Chu Qing:
"This... How come I owe you another favor? Third Young Master, what do you want me to pay you back with?"
"It's just a little effort."
Chu Qing said helplessly:
"It's just a small matter, but it's so hard. I won't dare to deal with Master Tie in the future."
"Hahaha."
Tie Lingyun laughed again:
"Okay, okay, Third Young Master is a straightforward person, and he is of a genuine nature. It would be unorthodox to say anything more.
"Everyone, this is not the place to talk. Come with me and we'll talk when we get back."
As he spoke, he grabbed Chu Qing's arm and stretched out his arm to lead him, obviously treating him as a distinguished guest.
This place was only a few steps away from the city wall. Along the way, Tie Lingyun introduced his men and several elders in the sect to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing nodded to the others one by one, indicating that he had met them before. However, when he introduced the fourth hall master, Zhong Beitang, Chu Qing could not help but look at him again.
Luoye City, the fourth hall master, Zhong Beitang.
The last time Chu Qing heard this name was from Shen Hongye.
This person was good friends with Guo Wang... The Red Tree Village where Shen Hongye lived was burned down by Guo Wang, and Zhong Beitang concluded that it was a "horse bandit attack on the village."
As a result, Shen Hongye did not dare to appeal for her injustice, and eventually sold herself to kill someone.
In this matter, it is difficult to say what exactly happened to Zhong Beitang.
Did he know that Guo Wang was killing people, but still used "horse bandits attacking the village" as a cover?
Or did he really not know...and really thought it was the work of horse thieves?
But no matter what, Mangrove Village, as a subsidiary village of Luoye City, has fallen into such a miserable situation, and he cannot escape the crime of negligence.
However, Chu Qing remembered that when they were in Dingxing City, Qingyang Hand Liu Yulai once said that he had sent a secret letter to Guishen Gorge about this matter.
Does Tie Lingyun know it now, or doesn’t he?
Is there a conclusion to the matter?
Although he was thinking about Shen Hongye's matter in his heart, there was not much change on his face.
He just nodded slightly and became familiar with everyone.
In the blink of an eye, everyone entered the city, and amidst the crowd of Iron Blood Hall disciples, they arrived at the mansion in the center of the city.
When they arrived here, the hall masters, flag masters, and elders said goodbye and went to maintain the normal operation of the affairs of the fortress.
Chu Qing and his group were invited by Tie Lingyun into the lobby.
The group sat down as host and guest.
After a brief conversation, Tie Lingyun was a little surprised to hear the words "White Horse Golden Sword Cao Qiupu".
I have to say that these three characters "Cao Qiupu" are still very valuable.
Even though Tie Lingyun is the grand master of the Tiexue Hall, he still has to treat this long-famous hero differently.
When they heard that this person wanted to join the Iron Blood Hall, they immediately clapped their hands and laughed:
"Okay, okay, it's an honor for our Iron Blood Hall to be favored by Master Cao.
"Tie Lingyun is very welcome!"
Cao Qiupu was a little embarrassed:
“Grandmaster, please don’t agree so easily. The two of us joined the Iron Blood Hall for another reason.
"It won't be too late to make a decision after the hall master has heard the whole story." "Oh?"
Tie Lingyun was stunned:
"If that's the case, please tell me frankly, Mr. Cao."
Cao Qiupu was a man of upright character, and even though he came to seek refuge, he was unwilling to hide anything.
He then explained the matter in this way.
Tie Lingyun didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard that the beautiful woman next to Cao Qiupu was actually the beauty on the list of 72 evildoers, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He still remembered...his precious daughter, the apple of his eye, Tie Chuqing, was beaten up by this beautiful lady at Luochen Villa.
The first time Chu Qing saved her was from this beautiful lady.
After all this time, is this a meeting between enemies?
But when he heard that Hua Meiren had withdrawn from Nie Jingtai and was being hunted down by Nie Jingtai together with Cao Qiupu, his expression became a little strange.
Somewhat gloating...
After that, when they met at Qimei Villa, their positions had quietly changed.
Finally, in Yin Yang Pavilion, Hua Meiren and Tie Chuqing reconciled. Tie Lingyun looked at Tie Chuqing and saw her nod. He knew that his daughter had let it go.
Only then did I calm down and listen to the end attentively.
And he pondered the whole thing over and over in his mind.
After Cao Qiupu finished telling the whole story, there was silence in the hall for a while.
Chu Qing didn't care about how they made the decision, but was quite interested in the tea and snacks on the table.
Wenrou sat obediently beside Chu Qing, her eyes blank as to what she was thinking.
As for Nian Xin Nian An, he ate with relish.
Enjoyed the meal...
Sometimes he ate too fast and choked, and he patted his chest desperately. He gently handed them tea.
The two sisters then expressed their gratitude with tears, thanking Wenrou for saving their lives.
Chu Qing was speechless for a while, and didn't know where they learned all this nonsense.
Finally, Tie Lingyun spoke:
"I only have one precious daughter. I heard that she almost died at the hands of Hua Meiren outside Luochen Villa. This matter..."
"Dad, that thing is over."
Tie Chuqing tugged at Tie Lingyun's sleeve:
"Sister Hua has been taking good care of me these days.
"Don't hold a grudge anymore."
"Hahaha."
Tie Lingyun burst into laughter upon hearing this:
"Well, since my daughter is so tolerant, how can I, as a father, be worse than my daughter?
"I have heard of the name of the hero Cao for a long time. He is a cunning man who deceives the world and steals his reputation. How can we tolerate such evil deeds?
"But... Mr. Cao, if you don't beat around the bush, I'll tell you the truth.
“Since one day, Hero Cao and Lady Hua will leave our Tiexuetang.
“It’s probably difficult for him to hold a high position in the Iron Blood Hall.
“But I promise you two, as long as you are still in the Iron Blood Hall, I will treat you as my own.
"If the Evil Mirror Platform dares to attack, it will be an enemy of the Iron Blood Hall!"
"it is good."
Cao Qiupu nodded:
“With the hall master’s words, Cao feels relieved.
"From today on, Cao Qiupu will follow the orders of the Grand Hall Master!"
This was the best outcome Cao Qiupu could have imagined.
Although he could also hide all of this and not make it clear... he could quietly accumulate strength in secret, waiting for the day when he could fully mature and leave the Iron Blood Hall.
But in this way, there is bound to be suspicion of deception.
The more open-hearted Tie Lingyun is to him, the more bitter and resentful he will be in the future.
It is better to say everything clearly at the very beginning. Even if you are unlikely to be reused, you will not become enemies in the future.
And being able to get such a guarantee from Tie Lingyun, his goal has been achieved.
Chu Qing saw that they had almost finished talking, so he put down his teacup:
"Master Tie, what is the situation of the battle in Guishen Gorge now?
"Are you sure about this battle?"
Tie Lingyun was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he gently shook his head:
“To be honest, if someone had told me before this battle that the Fiery Flame Hall dared to attack the Iron Blood Hall, I would never have believed it.
"Unless Beitang Lie is crazy...
“But this battle has been beyond my expectations since its inception.
"Beitang Lie is risking everything, and seems to be determined to fight to the death.
"It is to use all the resources accumulated by the Fiery Flame Hall over the past decades to fight to the death with the Iron Blood Hall.
“The treacherous nature of this battle made me secretly frightened.
“To be honest, I had already noticed something before… There seemed to be a hand quietly pushing the Blazing Hall from behind.
“This sense of crisis is like the mouth of a ferocious beast, ready to swallow me up at any time.
“That’s why I wanted to send Xiao Qing’er away. I didn’t want her to stay in this dangerous place.
“But I didn’t expect that I would be plotted against by Prince Mei because of this.
“As for the battle two days ago… Logically speaking, although Beitang Lie is powerful, even if I am surrounded and cannot win, I can still escape without any problems.
“But I don’t know why, at that moment, I seemed to be unable to control myself.
“By the time I came to my senses, I had already been hit by Beitang Lie’s palm.
"The weirdness of this... it still makes me feel creepy when I think about it now, but I just don't know what the problem is."
Having said this, he paused slightly and looked at Chu Qing:
"Third Young Master, do you think this matter is related to that Prince Mei?"
"No, no."
Nianxin and Nian'an spoke at the same time:
"Prince Mei has no time to care about the Ghost Gorge right now. We have chased her for hundreds of miles and she is far away from here."
"Oh?"
Tie Lingyun looked at Nian Xin and Nian An in surprise, somewhat surprised:
"Who are these two girls?"
"We are the ones who think of peace and tranquility, and we come from Bodhi Temple."
Nian Xin and Nian An looked at each other:
"Now he is the running dog of the Third Young Master!"
"..."
Chu Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed...
Tie Lingyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"Oh I got it……"
When he looked at Chu Qing again, his eyes looked a little strange.
These two girls look silly. Is this third young master trying to kidnap them?
Chu Qing rubbed his brows:
"The incident at the Fiery Hall is a...
"There is another piece of news that needs to be made known to Master Tie."
"what news?"
"The Evil Mirror Platform has sent a master from the Evil Slaying List to kill you."
Chu Qing said:
"You need to prepare for this early..."
