Ten days later, everyone came to their destination, Tianyun County Guoshui Stone City.

Waterstone City is located on a major transportation artery, attracting pedestrians from the north and south, so it is very prosperous.

In addition to the many businesses in the city, there are also several sects of cultivation. There are two of them, which are the Sanpin sect.

In order to find Xu Wen, Wu Song and the others had to enter the city. But they didn't want to stay in the inn, so Niu Jianing came forward to find city residents who were willing to rent out their residences.

As a result, before they could find a place to live, someone came to the door.

It was noon, and Wu Song and the others were resting in a pavilion.

A carriage came to the outside of the pavilion, and out of the pavilion came a stocky man. The man walked up to Wu Song and the others, gave a salute and introduced himself, "My name is Li Hua, and I am a steward of the local Chamber of Commerce. ”

Wu Songxin said, this Tianyu Chamber of Commerce is really powerful, they have deliberately avoided all kinds of shops, and they are still found by them.

"What does Steward Li want to do?"

Wu Song said politely.

"A few people who came from afar must be tired. We have prepared a comfortable accommodation for a few of us, please come with me. ”

Li Hua waved his hand to the carriage and asked Wu Song and the others to get into the carriage.

Wu Song wanted to see what tricks this Heavenly Chamber of Commerce was going to play, so he got into the carriage, and the others followed.

The carriage came to an alley and stopped in front of a house.

Everyone got out of the car, and Li Hua led the way in front and led everyone into the house.

As he walked, Li Hua introduced to everyone, "This house was originally owned by a local salt merchant, and he spent tens of thousands of taels of gold and thousands of craftsmen to build this house for you, which took three years to build.

The house occupies a large area and has four gardens with various flowers.

Later, the salt merchant had to sell the mansion because of the failure of the business, and now this mansion is owned by our Waterstone City Chamber of Commerce. ”

Everyone walked around the house for a while, and they were shocked by the magnificence of the house. As Li Hua said, this house is really extravagant.

All of them were monks from ordinary families, and they had never seen such a beautiful mansion in their lives.

"Okay, guys, let's go here. ”

Li Hua led everyone to a courtyard and walked towards the main hall.

Before he reached the door, a person in the main hall greeted him and said loudly, "Senior brother, you want to mess with your little brother!"

As soon as the man grabbed Zhang Yilu's hand, his expression was extremely excited.

When Zhang Yilu saw the man, he was taken aback at first, and then became very happy, and said, "Senior brother, why are you here?"

The man was not yet forty years old, bald, yellow-skinned, and looked a little sickly. But the man's eyes were extremely bright, and the seal hall was bulging, and he looked like a master.

"Senior brother, please come to the house, let's sit down and talk slowly. ”

The man led the people into the main hall.

Everyone sat down and the next person brought tea.

Zhang Yilu introduced the person to Wu Song and the others, and Wu Song only then knew the origin of the person.

That person's name is Yuan Lei, he is a native of Lingchong County, he practiced in the martial arts academy with Zhang Yilu when he was a teenager, the two are the same master, and the relationship is the same as Wu Songgangfeng Yang Shuang, they are brothers.

Both of them are children of poor families, and they both suffered a lot to enter the martial arts academy to practice. Their ambition is the same, they all work hard to cultivate, and in the future they will become a strong person who cultivates to a high level.

The two have so much in common that they become very good friends.

The two of them are learning the same kind of exercise, Feng Ming Jue. After the end of his cultivation in the martial arts academy, Zhang Yilu traveled all over the world in the Xuanwu world and became a carefree knight.

Yuan Lei left the Lingchong County, and later made a few friends in the Tianyun County, and several people cultivated together.

In the fifth year, Yuan Lei and the other two entered the innate realm one after another, so the three of them cooperated and formed a three-grade sect in Shuishi City, Feng Mingmen.

"Oh, in a blink of an eye, I haven't seen you for nearly twenty years, I didn't expect to see each other again, I'm still a shabby teacher, but junior brother, you are the master of a third-grade sect!"

Zhang Yilu said with infinite emotion.

"Senior brother is too humble, in my heart, you will always be my senior brother, and I will always treat you respectfully. Moreover, although you are only a martial arts master, you are much stronger than me.

You see that your three disciples, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, they are young, and their cultivation is so high. Although our Fengming Sect is a sect, and there are dozens of disciples in the sect, none of them can compare with your senior brother and your disciples. ”

Yuan Lei smiled, and looked at Wu Song intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.

"Senior brother, what are you talking about, you have won the award.

But, brother, how did you know I was here? You're waiting for me here?"

Zhang Yilu asked.

"Yes, senior brother, you may not know yet, in addition to being the master of Fengming Gate, I am also the vice president of the Waterstone City Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will know about it after you enter the city. ”

Yuan Lei Dao.

"That's right, junior brother, you tell senior brother, what kind of trick is your chamber of commerce playing, why is it so good to our master and apprentice, and you have free food and lodging along the way?"

Zhang Yilu asked.

"This, senior brother, I can't tell you for the time being. In this way, senior brother, we will be the east in the evening, and we will set up a banquet here to entertain the four of you masters and apprentices, and please invite a few of you to appreciate the light, and then the doubts in your hearts can be solved. ”

Yuan Lei Dao.

"Okay, then listen to you, junior brother. Zhang Yilu happily agreed.

"Senior brother is still as refreshing as before, this courtyard really has a lot to offer, senior brother, three senior nephews, I will take you to visit this courtyard, please!"

Yuan Lei got up and led everyone to continue playing in the courtyard.

After returning to the inn, Wu Song came to Zhang Yilu's room and said, "Master, I have something I want to ask you. ”

"It's about Yuan Lei, you ask. ”

Zhang Yilu leaned back on the bed, closed his eyes and pondered.

"What is your character, can you trust you?"

Wu Song asked, along the way, they have encountered many strange things, and now suddenly a junior brother of Zhang Yilu has popped up, which really can't help but worry Wu Song.

"I'm a junior brother who has no father or mother since he was a child, he grew up with his grandmother, he is extremely simple, extremely sincere to people, and there is no dirtiness in his heart. If there is anyone else in this world that I can trust, it is me, my junior brother.

But that was when we were still practicing in the Martial Academy before, and now I haven't seen this junior disciple for nearly twenty years, and I'm really not sure if he is still the same as before.

People's hearts are fickle, and I really can't imagine what people can become in 20 years. ”

Zhang Yilu said slowly, his eyes were still closed, and there was a gloomy look on his face.

"Then Master, tonight's banquet, shall we go or not?"

Wu Song said, if Yuan Lei has a problem, then the banquet that night may be the Hongmen Banquet.

"Go, of course we have to go, otherwise how do we know what the hell the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce is doing in secret? But you all have to cheer up, always pay attention to the situation at the banquet, and leave as soon as possible when you see that the momentum is not good. ”

Zhang Yilu opened his eyes and said categorically.

After nightfall, the city is lit up. The streets are full of traffic and people. Waterstone City is a transportation center and is very prosperous.

A carriage stopped at the door of the inn, and Wu Song and the others got into the carriage and headed for the salt merchant's house.

Yuan Lei stood waiting outside the door, and when he saw the carriage coming to the outside of the house, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile, "Senior brother, you have been waiting for a long time, please!

The group entered the house and came to the main hall, where they saw a sumptuous banquet set up in the house, which could be described as delicacies from the mountains and seas, and all kinds of delicacies.

There were already a few people sitting at the table, all dressed in gold and silver, with extraordinary bearing, who should be famous people in the local area.

Everyone sat down at the table, and Yuan Lei said, "Senior brother, let me introduce you." From my left-hand side, this is the president of the Waterstone City Chamber of Commerce, Fan Yu, the second is the local family, the head of the Ye family, Ye Bi, and the third is the local wealthy businessman......"

Yuan Lei introduced a circle of people, all of whom were either rich or expensive.

Zhang Yilu and a few people saluted one by one, and then sat down.

"Senior brother, when you were practicing in the Martial Academy, you loved to drink. Although we haven't met over the years, I also know that you have broken into the reputation of a drunk madman, so presumably my brother still likes to drink as much as before.

Come, this is the famous wine of our Water Stone City, Water Stone Soul, you can taste it. ”

Yuan Lei personally poured wine for Zhang Yilu.

Zhang Yilu sniffed it and praised, "It's really a good wine, it tastes mellow, and I haven't drunk it yet, but I can already feel the essence of the wine." Come, I'll give you a drink. ”

Zhang Yilu picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Okay, Master Zhang has a good amount of alcohol!"

Everyone else praised it.

"Senior brother, I also drank this wine. Let's get down to business. ”

Zhang Yilu looked at Yuan Lei and said lightly.

"What Senior Brother said is that I invited so many distinguished guests today to explain things clearly to Senior Brother.

Before I say that, senior brother, three senior nephews, please look at a few things, come on!"

Yuan Lei clapped his hands and motioned for his subordinates to bring things over.

After a while, several subordinates came, and put down an envelope and a wooden box in turn.

Yuan Lei opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhang Yilu.

"Senior brother, this is the title deed of this house, everyone's names on it are empty, you decide whose name you want to write on it!"

After Yuan Lei finished speaking, he opened the wooden box again. As soon as the box was opened, a precious light shot out from inside, stabbing people and squinting.

"Senior brother, this wooden box contains diamonds, pearls, night pearls and other treasures, worth hundreds of thousands. Now, it's yours and your three nephews. ”

Yuan Lei pushed the wooden box in front of Zhang Yilu, Wu Song and the others, and the treasure light in the box illuminated the faces of several people.

"In addition, my senior brother has been alone for so many years, and there is no one to take care of him in life, which really makes me very heartbroken as a junior brother. ”

Yuan Lei clapped his palms again, and a woman walked out from behind the curtain and smiled lightly at Zhang Yilu, "Senior brother, this little red girl, she is twenty-eight years old, and she is in her prime of life.

She used to be a maid in our President Fan's family, and when she heard that her senior brother was a hero, she volunteered to serve her senior brother. ”
