Tong Shun was defeated and fled back to Wangxi City, and the successive setbacks made him feel very uncomfortable. On this day, he was borrowing wine in the main hall to drown his sorrows, and Wu Yan walked in and said, "Brother Tong, your face is so bad, there must be something troublesome, right?"

Tong Yan sighed and said: "Brother, I'm ashamed, I think I can't make any waves in Daming City, I thought that I would be able to do something when I came to this district to look at Xicheng, but I didn't expect to be frustrated one after another, and there is no way to take these gangsters who have never seen the world, it's really sad and sad to think about." ”

Wu Yan smiled: "Don't be sad, brother, it is a common thing to say that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and it is normal for us to encounter some setbacks when we first come here." Besides, we have already occupied the West City, and we have not gained nothing. After all, Nanmen Liang and Yaowutang are not weak, and it is not easy to eat them in one bite, so we must not be in a hurry. ”

Tong Shun took a sip of wine and said: "My brother is reasonable, if it weren't for your help this time, I wouldn't be able to take this Wangxi City." Brother has news of the sect leader recently, if he can help him, it is easy to take this Wangxi City. ”

Wu Yan said: "Brother, don't count on the sect master, he and the other elders still have countless things to do in the demon territory, where do we have time to take care of here, we have to rely on our own ability to stand firm." ”

Tong Yan sighed: "Easier said than done, now we have just suffered a defeat, and now we are short of major generals." If it weren't for the fact that this Wangxi City could still resist the enemy, I am afraid that there would be no place for you and me here. ”

Wu Yan said: "Brother don't have to be discouraged, the soldiers and horses in the city can still be supported, and it is not easy for them to capture Wangxi City in Nanmenliang." Recently, I chatted with Jian Gongzi, and learned that the hall master of Yaowu Hall should be owned by me, this person is quite ambitious, and he is not willing to be only one hall master, if we put some effort into him, we may be able to gain a lot. ”

Tong Shun's heart moved: "This is a wonderful move, if you go well, you can really get twice the result with half the effort, we have to think about it carefully." The two whispered to each other.

However, it was said that Yaowutang sent most of its disciples to the Nanmen Liang camp to help him, and four of the five hall masters of the entire academy went, leaving only Ying Shifeng alone in charge of the overall situation, and all the information that came and went was also reported directly to the head of the sect Ji Rong.

On this day, Ying Shifeng was drinking tea in the hall, and Sun Haiwei, a disciple next to him, reported on the practice of the disciples of the school. If it was usual, this would be the right time, and he should have said to Sun Haiwei, "You stand down." ”

But today, Ying Shifeng seemed to be a little absent-minded, and neither let Sun Haiwei retreat nor give other instructions, Sun Haiwei was a little confused for a while, so he had to stand still. After a while, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Master, can the apprentice retreat first?"

Ying Shifeng came back to his senses and said, "Wait a minute, I will ask you a question for the teacher, today is fifteen?"

Sun Haiwei said, "Today is the fifteenth, Master. ”

Ying Shifeng said: "There are many things happening in the city these days, and the master is also very anxious, so busy that he almost forgets the days. ”

Sun Haiwei said: "It's not, a group of thieves came out of nowhere, turning this Wangxi City upside down." However, I heard that Uncle Xia and Uncle Ye recently helped Nanmen Liang defeat this gang of thieves, and these days have calmed down. ”

Ying Shifeng said: "Okay, you retreat first, wait for the teacher to go down the mountain, if there is nothing important, you can watch it, if there is something urgent, wait for the teacher to come back and deal with it." ”

Sun Haiwei said, "Yes, Master." He walked out.

It turned out that this day was the birthday of the time, and in the past, he went to Wangxi City to eat, drink and have fun with Jian Haoran and other fox friends and dogs, but now it is different from the past, Jian Haoran heard that he took refuge in Tong Shun and became an enemy minions. As a member of Yaowutang, he should draw a line with him, but Jian Haoran didn't seem to think so, he sent someone to send a letter early, wanting to invite him to the city for a gathering.

Ying Shifeng is not a loyal person after all, he is used to eating, drinking and having fun in the past, thinking that no one celebrates today's birthday, the feeling is no different from killing him, and after thinking for a while, he still decided to go down the mountain to make an appointment. As soon as he got out of the mountain gate, he was picked up by a carriage sent by Jian Haoran, and headed all the way to Wangxi City.

The carriage arrived at the gate of Jian's Mansion unimpeded, and Ying Shifeng had just walked out of the carriage, and Fu Shou, the housekeeper of Jian's Mansion, stepped forward with a smile and said: "Master Ying, I look forward to your coming, our young master has been thinking about you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't appreciate your face this time." ”

Ying Shifeng said with a smile: "How dare you, it's just that the school has been busy lately, and I will personally bow to Gongzi Jian." ”

Fu Shou said with a smile: "What else do we say between us to be humble or not, we will drink a few more bowls of wine later." As he spoke, he pulled the wind towards the house.

The house has prepared a feast in the morning, what delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies, and there are more dusty women who sit and drink with them. Seeing Ying Shifeng and Fushou coming in, Jian Haoran got up and said: "Hall Master Ying, hurry up and sit down, today is your birthday, the little brother specially ordered someone to choose your favorite Sansheng wine, as well as the beautiful woman with good color and art, let's drink it." ”

Ying Shifeng said happily: "Brother Jane is thoughtful, and Brother Jian is really grateful." As he spoke, he sat down next to Jian Haoran.

A group of people drank happily and staggered, and after three rounds of drinking, Jian Haoran was slightly drunk and said: "Brother, let me say a word, everyone here will comment on the reasoning, see if Jian is right?"

Ying Shifeng said: "My brother has something to say." ”

Jian Haoran said: "My brother has been estranged from me recently, in the past, we could get together a few times a month, but you haven't shown up once in recent months, if it weren't for this time I ordered someone to send a letter, my brother wouldn't even be together with the brothers on his birthday." ”

Tu Meng, Fu Shou and the others who were sitting on the side also said, "Young Master Jian is reasonable. ”

Ying Shifeng picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Brother Jane blames that the old brother drank this cup as an atonement. He drank it all down. Then he sighed and said: "You don't know, Ying Mou really has a last resort, recently we looked at the sudden war in Xicheng, I heard that Brother Jian's mansion and the foreign Tong Shun formed an alliance, and my Yaowutang is to fight against foreign enemies, so we are each our master, how can we be as close as before." ”

Jian Haoran said: "Elder brother's words are wrong, since ancient times, the Bright Holy Sect where Elder Tong and Elder Wu are located is strong, and it is definitely not something that the so-called righteous army in Xicheng can resist." You Yaowutang dare to resist now, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the future, I advise my brother to withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to spread the disaster to you. ”

Ying Shifeng's face was solemn and said: "My brother has been in Yaowutang for more than 20 years, and now it's not so easy to say that he can go, if you don't say anything else, the head of the house will definitely not follow." ”

Jian Haoran said: "As long as my brother can be ruthless and his legs are on you, he can still tie you up." ”

Ying Shifeng said: "That being said, even if the elder brother leaves without hesitation, just by relying on the elder brother to take refuge single-handedly, the Bright Holy Sect can still look at the elder brother differently, but I am afraid that he will only be a nobody, how can he compare with the current position of the elder brother's hall master." ”

Jian Haoran said: "What the elder brother said is extremely true, the position of the hall master is important, but you have to sit for a long time, if you don't even have your life, what's the use of having this hall master?"

As the two were talking, suddenly someone hurriedly entered and said, "Young Master, Elder Tong and Elder Wu outside ask to see you." ”

Jian Haoran hurriedly got up and said, "Stupid thing, how can the two elders be lazy when they come, and they don't invite people in quickly." "Say and go out to greet each other.

Tong Shun and Wu Yan slowly entered, and said with a smile as they walked: "Gongzi Jian is so interested, he used to drink and have fun in the mansion, I don't know if the two of us came to visit and disturbed Gongzi Yaxing?"

Jian Haoran said: "The two elders laughed, just because today is the next friend's birthday, so they will prepare a little wine and food in the mansion to celebrate, the two elders came just in time, why don't you sit down and have a few drinks?"

Tong Shun said: "Then we might as well be respectful." Then he sat down and ate and drank with the people.
