The three of them did not delay and returned to the inn.
Zhang San had been waiting at the entrance of the inn. When he saw Li Chun and the other two, he hurriedly came forward.
“Gentlemen, Brother Chen invites you to his room for a chat. He has something important to discuss.”
“Oh?”
Li Chun was puzzled, but he did not think too much about it. He brought the Lu siblings to Zhou Jing’s room and knocked on the door.
“Brother Chen, we’re here.”
With a shout, he pushed open the door and was about to walk in.
However, in the next moment, when Li Chun saw the scene in the room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and subconsciously froze on the spot.
The room was filled with burly men!
At a rough glance, there were more than ten people already present!
Other than Zhou Jing and the simulation, the others were all unfamiliar faces. Almost all of them were strong and fierce individuals!
Li Chun stood still on the spot, “Brother Chen, these… these people are…”
Zhou Jing laughed heartily and called Li Chun and the other two in. He then gestured for Zhang San to close the door and wait outside.
……
“Let me introduce you. These three are the leaders of the Red Cloud Mountain, Clear Wind Fan Li Chun, Divine Mace Lu Yunzhao,and Embroidered Saber Lu Xinniang… And these are the leaders of the Green Forest Heavenly King Stronghold in the North…”
This time, the Heavenly King Village had sent a total of eight leaders to save Guo Haishen. Among them, the fourth leader, Great Sage Flipping River Xiang Tianjie, introduced himself.
Hearing the other party’s background, Li Chun was shocked. He hurriedly brought the Lu siblings to greet him, but he was extremely puzzled.
Why would this group of Green Forest experts from the North secretly come to the South?
Moreover, Chen Feng had only gone out for a walk. How did he bring back so many powerhouses?
Xiang Tianjie stepped forward and briefly explained their encounter. He then explained Guo Haishen’s encounter before getting straight to the point.
“We’re here to save Brother Guo Haishen. Brother Chen Feng said that the three of you are also here for him. We hope to invite the three of you to work together. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Li Chun pondered for a while before nodding,
“I also admire Brother Guo’s character. This time, we can’t stand by and do nothing!”
For such a grand undertaking, they naturally had to participate. Not only was it to save a hero, but it could also increase the reputation of the Green Forest and let the Red Cloud Mountain follow the Heavenly King Stronghold to show off.
If word got out that the Red Cloud Mountain was unwilling to help the Heavenly King Stronghold save the Iron Arm Azure Dragon Guo Haishen, it would be a huge loss of reputation.
“Good! Brother Chen is right. Everyone is indeed loyal!”
Xiang Tianjie was overjoyed.
Hearing this, Li Chun felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.
He could tell that Xiang Tianjie also had the intention to befriend Zhou Jing.
The Heavenly King Stronghold was a large and famous stronghold, and the small family in Red Cloud Mountain could not be compared to the other party at all. If the other party also recruited Zhou Jing, they might really be able to sway him over…
However, this was not the time to talk about this. Official matters came first.
Everyone had agreed on the same goal. The few groups of people who had come to save Guo Haishen had thus all gathered here.
Death Beckoning Yama Chen Feng, Great Sage Flipping River Xiang Tianjie, Breaking Ranks Spear Gao Yun, Clear Wind Fan Li Chun, Divine Mace Lu Yunzhao, Mountain Flipping Grand Duke Fang Zhen, Embroidery Blade Lu Xinniang, Thousand Faced Swallow Shi Qing…
There were eight leaders of the Heavenly King Village, three leaders of the Red Cloud Mountain, and Zhou Jing, Fang Zhen, and Gao Yun… There were 14 titled powerhouses in total.
Everyone discussed for a while and reached a consensus. They planned to send a representative each to the prison camp to visit Guo Haishen first.
Even if he wanted to save someone, he had to let the person he saved know that there would be an attempt being made, so as to allow for coordination from the inside.
Soon, everyone decided that the four people would go to the prison camp to meet someone. They were Xiang Tianjie, Li Chun, Gao Yun and Zhou Jing himself. As the representatives of the various factions, the remaining members would not move.
…
On the other hand, an old man in neat clothes arrived at the prison camp to visit an inmate.
This old man’s hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of smiles. He looked like a butler from a wealthy family.
The local jailers and officers seemed to know this old man and treated him with respect, allowing him to enter.
Soon, the old man saw the warden and waved a hand while smiling at him,
“Lord Warden, how have you been?”
“Yo, Butler He! Haha, it’s been a while.”
The warden’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly led him to a seat.
The two of them chatted casually for a while before Butler He spoke about his intentions.
Butler He probed, “Lord Warden, I wonder how that person surnamed Guo is doing now?”
The Warden stroked his beard as he mused,
“I’ve been getting someone to watch him these past few days. He’s quite well-behaved, so there’s no reason for me to find trouble with him.”
Hearing this, Butler He took out two large silver ingots and handed them to the Warden while he whispered,
“This person ruined my master’s plans. My master wants him to receive some ‘care’ in prison. He doesn’t want him to die, but he wants those unruly people to understand what the consequences are for standing up recklessly. Please take a look…”
Receiving the ingots, the smile on the Warden’s face widened. He laughed and said generously,
“Go back and tell Master He not to worry. He’s just an injured man. What Iron Arm Azure Dragon or Azure Dog? In my place, even if he’s made of iron, I can still crush him!”
Hearing his boasts, Butler He probed, “I wonder what Lord Warden plans to do?”
The Warden waved his hand casually,
“There were at least 200 of such people I’ve dealt with, if not 300. They were all turned into a pile of mud, and I’m already familiar with the way they behave. Isn’t that Guo guy very capable? When I pick out his tendons and cripple his martial arts, no matter how arrogant he was in the past, he will become a dog. If I let him eat shit, he will eat shit! If I want to pee in his mouth, he will have to open his mouth!”
“Alright, alright, alright, that’s settled! Then I’ll go back and wait for good news!”
Butler He beamed in response.
