Jiang Jingnian found a seat at the edge of the long table and sat down.
After he took his seat, several senior escorts from Bone Tempering Stage came over one after another.
A few more minutes passed after that.
The originally packed meeting hall had become completely empty, with only about twenty people sitting at the long table remaining.
In addition to the two escort heads, there are twenty-one escorts present, three Marrow Tempering Stage Martial Master, seventeen Bone Tempering Stage Martial Master, and Jiang Jingnian this Blood Tempering Stage Martial Master.
Moreover, his face is the youngest.
The others are basically between the ages of 25 or 30 or 40. They have been in the escort agency for many years and have encountered many dangers and difficulties, so their faces are more or less weathered.
As for those who came in the same group as them, most of them ended up either injured and retired, or fell into various dangers.
Those who have survived to this day are only two out of ten.
This is the world of troubled times.
And it's not just the escort agency.
Many of the disciples of the big sects, including some of the most famous geniuses True Disciple, died young, let alone these ordinary warriors.
The essence of a warrior is to fight.
Fight for blood and food, fight for secret medicine, fight for promotion, fight for skills, fight for territory, fight for wealth, and even fight for face.
Along the way of martial arts, you are armed with sharp weapons, and murderous intentions arise. You fight for heaven, earth, and people. If you don't fight, you will retreat.
No fight...
Then die.
Because all kinds of resources are becoming less and less, if you don't acquire them, you will become weaker. Once you are weak, you will become weaker.
And once the world's environment becomes unstable and the order becomes unstable, just like the wars that have occurred over the past few decades, many weak people are either taken as slaves by the strong and lose their freedom and dignity, or are killed wantonly by the strong.
Therefore, when facing a crisis, although these veteran escorts have a bit of uneasiness and worry in their eyes, they are more calm than the young master like Escort Chief Li.
After all, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor.
They have been practicing Zhanzhuang Kungfu since they were teenagers. When their elders drew blood with bamboo sticks, applied secret medicine for the first time, and swallowed blood food for the first time, they knew that this journey was destined to be difficult.
Jiang Jingnian was also sitting next to him with an upright attitude, his handsome face full of calm, waiting for the chief escort to speak.
The head escort briefly glanced at the number of people and saw that everyone was seated. All the senior escorts who could come were here. He still shook his long, flowing and messy hair, and then squeezed out a kind smile on his somewhat fat face.
He lightly tapped the fine rosewood table with two fingers, "You probably have an idea of the current situation. I am here now, and I just want to tell you that there is no need to be too pessimistic about this matter. It is not a fatal situation."
"At least it's much better than the situation half a year ago when we were attacked and besieged by the Aofei Duchy Knights."
"After all, Dou'a Sect's opponent is Mountain Cloud School, not us. When big factions fight, life and death will not be determined so quickly. As for what we have to face, it is basically the forces under the Dou'a Sect."
"This is king versus king, soldier versus soldier. The masters are all trying to contain each other, or they are already fighting and playing chess in places where we can't see them."
"So, unless one party suffers heavy losses, such as Mountain Cloud School killing several Daoist masters, and the entire sect is in danger, we will face the pressure of the Dou'a Sect leaning forward."
As his words fell, the serious and gloomy faces of all the senior escorts present now relaxed.
"Then I would like to ask the chief escort, what are the forces we will face directly?"
A thin, middle-aged female escort was the first to ask.
"According to the information I learned from the big boss, our three affiliated forces Gale Wind Sect Iron Palm Gang Tongda Escort Agency may need to deal with Thunderclap Gang Four forces including Windfeather Martial Hall Garden Celebration Hall Blood Saber Manor. Maybe there are more in the dark, I can't tell."
The chief escort thought for a moment, stopped tapping his fingers, spread them slightly upward on the table, and made a few finger gestures.
"The three of us are not superior in numbers compared to the four, let alone those who are secretly waiting to attack?"
"Chief escort, is this Dou'a Sect so powerful? He just made a rumor, and already several local gangs and martial arts schools have joined him?"
Several senior escorts remained silent, while others showed doubts.
Mountain Cloud School has been operating in Peace City for so many years and has a very long history.
There are only three second- and third-rate forces under his command, plus the support of dozens of big families.
And Dou'a Sect has already accumulated so many wings even before Peace City has entered the market in a big way?
"Because the warlords in the south, the aristocratic family headed by the Tao Family, have fully formed an alliance with the Dou'a Sect. This is also the information that our bodyguard agency has only recently obtained."
"Tao Family Recently, those young masters have been in constant conflict with several local aristocratic families. You have heard about it, right? Especially the second young master Tao Family. Just last month, he fought with the Xu Family's eldest son to death for a dancing girl in Nanpu Bund's big restaurant."
"At that time, this matter was widely reported in major newspapers."
"You must know that Xu Family is a top-notch family in the local area. It is the unique master in the north of Peace City."
"And Tao Family came here to pick a hard nut first, and made a show of force, announcing that their southern forces' entry was not really just for a mere dancer."
"I don't know much about the methods of the southern warlords, but they have the ability."
In this regard, the chief escort gave a brief explanation and said no more.
After all, if you delve into it in detail, the things involved are so complicated that even a Inner Qi Realm master like him can only guess at many things and cannot fully understand them.
After everyone heard this, they nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Jingnian was also listening with an open-minded attitude. He didn't interrupt the entire process, but when the head escort mentioned Garden Celebration Hall, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Things that even the master couldn't understand before.
At this time, he vaguely understood something.
No wonder...
Garden Celebration Hall was looking for trouble to lure out Tongda Escort Agency, and then immediately negotiated and reconciled with the master over "tea talk". Then not long after turning around, he broke Jianghu Rules again and continued to cause trouble, without making too much trouble or giving up directly.
He just keeps making people sick.
It turns out.
I'm dragging it here on purpose because I'm waiting for someone to come from behind!
"In this way, Garden Celebration Hall will definitely have a backup plan, and if the next wave comes again, it will no longer be so deliberately delaying, but will use thunderous methods!"
Jiang Jingnian I was still a little confused before, but now I connected these pieces of information together, and I immediately understood some of the inside story.
Dou'a Sect is too far away from him for the time being.
I didn't bother to delve into it further.
The key thing at hand is that Garden Celebration Hall has secretly attacked him.
Seeing that everyone had different expressions and seemed to be thinking about something, Jiang Jingnian said at this time, "General escort, I have something to say about the Garden Celebration Hall, which is the business of the Su Family's assistance..."
He spoke slowly and eloquently about what happened in the past few days.
