Chapter Seventy-One: Go and Bring in the Red Sky Army
"So just because it has your name on it, we spent five taels of silver to buy a bunch of these things?"
Walking on the streets of Ningxiao City, Long Xiu looked at the thick stack of paper in his hand and muttered dissatisfied.
"Anyway, the money was earned by Brother Wei Lai's own hard work, and it is no problem for my brother to spend it!" Liu Qingyan stood up and retorted with his hands on his hips. As if to increase the persuasiveness of her words, she turned her head to the side after saying this: "Brother Daren, are you right!?"
Sun Daren nodded when he heard this, and then said seriously: "That's not it, let me tell you, this kind of thing is always too hard, haven't you seen that Ah Lai has no energy in those days?"
"Ahem!" Seeing that Sun Daren was getting more and more energetic, Wei Lai hurriedly coughed twice, preventing the other party's intention to continue.
After correcting everyone's misunderstanding several times but still not changing their opinions, Wei Lai had no intention of correcting the matter again, so he could only change the topic and said, "We have to go faster, and we have to find a place to live after registering." ”
Ning Xiaocheng is a behemoth in the true sense, and only Wei Lai has been here a few times when his father and mother are alive, but as he is old, Wei Lai's memory of Ning Xiaocheng has long been blurred. The group asked as they walked, but it seemed that there was still a long way to go from where the Han Star List was.
Probably because of the approaching Nahan Star Conference, the congestion in Ningxiao City has increased unabated compared to the city gate, and there are martial artists with swords on their backs everywhere, as well as monks in Confucian robes, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there are still some people who are shuttled through the crowd by this strange box, if there is no accident in such a costume, most of them should be some disciples of the Mo family.
The Hanxing Conference is a five-year realm, which can be regarded as one of the best events in Ningzhou, and this year, the major Divine Sects have been absent from time to time in the past, but this year they have all arrived as scheduled, and the Hanxing Conference has not yet started, and six of the top ten Divine Sects in the north will definitely participate in the Hanxing Conference, which shows that this year's Hanxing Conference is different and grand compared to the past.
Walking through the crowded streets, Sun Daren suddenly asked, "Ah Lai, which sect do you think is better for us to go to?"
"Why don't you go to the Tianque Realm to be a holy son?" Without waiting for Wei to respond, Long Xiu on the side seized the opportunity to sarcastically say.
"If you can't be a holy son, you don't mean to lie. Sun Daren smiled and said with some embarrassment: "Why don't we try to rank second, I think it should be not much worse than that day." ”
"Nine Lotus Golden Temple, have you already decided to become a monk?" asked Long Xiu with a wink and a smile.
"Uh...... Then the third ......" Sun Daren's voice was much quieter, and he looked a little weak.
"Boundless Academy, do you recognize all the words?" Long Xiu raised his eyebrows.
Sun Daren died down, and the momentum of Fang Cai was completely gone. He turned his head to look at Wei Lai: "Ah Lai, you say, which sect you want to go to, I will follow you anyway, I will go wherever you go......"
"Well, me too!" Liu Qingyan, who had been listening to the two bickering, heard this, and hurriedly said at that time, stating his position very resolutely.
Long Xiu was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly glanced at Wei Lai on the side, he lost his momentum, and his voice was a little quieter: "Then just go to Tiangang Mountain with me." ”
"It's not impossible. Sun Daren nodded, he had heard about Dragon Embroidery, and he could understand the other party's insistence on going to Tiangang Mountain, and he didn't have any obsession with where to go, and it was not an unacceptable choice for him to go to Tiangang Mountain. After saying this, Sun Daren looked at Wei Lai excitedly and asked, "Ah Lai, what do you say?"
The look on Wei Lai's face was a little unnatural at that moment, but the three of Sun Daren, who had thick lines, didn't notice it.
"It's not up to us to decide which sect we can go to, it depends on whether people can take a fancy to us, it's too early to say this, let's sign up first. Wei Lai's words carried an extremely obvious intention to change the subject.
It's a pity that the three of them didn't notice it either, and nodded their heads one after another.
......
The Hanxing Stone Monument is located in the center of Ningxiao City - the intersection of Xunyang Street and Hengluo Street.
This is one of the most lively places in the entire Ningxiao City, and the Hanxing Conference is coming, and the location where the State Pastoral Mansion will sign up for the Hanxing Conference is also located here, this place is becoming more and more lively, and the drinkers like to gather in the surrounding wine shops to see which young talents on the list have come to Ningxiao City, and some big families will also send domestic slaves to squat here, for their own families or to attract talents, or for their juniors to collect intelligence. Even some sects will send people to squat, just like monks need the resources of the sect, and the sect also needs disciples with excellent talents and qualifications to inherit and grow, but not every sect can have such a lofty posture as the Boundless Academy or the Tianque Realm, and there is still a struggle for genius disciples between most ordinary sects.
At the edge of the crossroads, the uncle who bought salty tofu yawned, glanced at the aunt who bought sweet tofu not far away, and saw that she didn't have any business, so he suddenly felt at ease, lowered his head and began to take a nap with his hands in his hands.
After all, judging from his qualifications of being in the ninety-eighth place of the Hanxing List at the age of sixteen, even those unattainable Divine Sects in the eyes of others are willing to make a big move for Xu Yunian, scrambling to bring this little son of the Xu family into the door, and the elders of all the sects who have come to visit the Xu family these days are almost about to step on the threshold of the Xu family. And once they show up, the elders of the sect who have been chasing Xu for more than a year will swarm like jackals that smell the smell of meat.
Of course, Xu Yunian didn't like this feeling, but ......
"For more than a few years, today I want to eat sweet tofu. The woman in white in a wheelchair in front of her whispered.
"Yes. Xu Yunian nodded helplessly, stretched out his hand and pressed the mechanism under the wheelchair, stopped it, and then walked towards the aunt who sold sweet tofu.
The distance is not too far, but it is more than ten zhang, but Xu Yunian walks very slowly and carefully, he has to be careful not to be recognized by anyone. When he bought the tofu, Xu Yunian hurriedly returned to the wheelchair, handed the sweet tofu to the girl in the wheelchair, and then lowered his head, looked at the girl who was eating the tofu brain one bite at a time, and stared calmly at the girl who signed up under the stone tablet.
They have been coming to this Hanxing Monument every day for five months, rain or shine, and since the name of that guy on May 14 suddenly appeared on the Hanxing List, Xu Yunian has to be caught here every day by the girl as a strong man.
Xu Yunian thought about the wine game with the kid of the Ning family, thinking about the two swordsmen named Qingzhu and Zining, Xu Yunian secretly felt that his heart was hot, he hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Sister, that guy estimates that he won't come back today, or let's find some to go back today......
Before she finished speaking, the girl in the wheelchair put down the tofu brain in her hand and slowly turned her head to look at Xu Yunian. That calm gaze fell straight on Xu Yunian's body, like a sharp sword piercing through Xu Yunian's waist.
Xu Yunian was a spirit, his body was like falling into ice purgatory, according to his experience of struggling to survive in the Xu Mansion in the past sixteen years, he understood very well what kind of disaster it would be for him for a girl to show such a gaze. He hurriedly put a reluctant smile on his face: "The weather is getting colder day by day, and I'm also afraid that my sister will suffer from the wind cold and catch a cold......
"Really?" the girl who looked sideways at Xu Yunian narrowed her eyes.
Xu Yunian was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and his voice was a little quieter: "When ...... Of course. ”
"In that case, when I went out today, I asked Xiaoling to go to Ningfu to push your wine party, you shouldn't be angry, right?" the girl asked softly.
Xu Yunian's body trembled, and he lowered his head: "What...... What kind of drinking party, I don't know...... My father made me practice well, and I practiced diligently every day, so how could I have time to participate in any drinking party......"
"Hmm. The girl turned her head very satisfied, and looked in the direction of the Han Star Monument.
Xu Yunian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could fully recover from the regret of missing out on meeting the beautiful woman, the voice of the girl in front of him floated over again: "Oh, that's right." ”
"I also asked Xiao Ling to bring a message to Ning Chuan by the way, asking his two swordsmen not to run to our Xu Mansion if they have nothing to do, my younger brother Xu Yunian is busy with things, and told them to stop daydreaming about climbing dragons and phoenixes. “
Xu Yunian's face turned pale suddenly, and it was very difficult for him to muster up his strength and say, "Sister...... Sister, do the right thing!"
"Do you want to go back now?" asked the girl without looking back.
"Sister's affairs are more important! I will stay as long as my sister wants!" Xu Yunian, who realized that his little caution could not deceive the girl after all, quickly recognized the facts, and he hurriedly said righteously.
"Hmm. The girl nodded with satisfaction, but just as she was about to say something more, her body trembled suddenly, and her eyes fell on the direction where the Han Star Monument was.
Xu Yunian was very keenly aware of his sister's situation, he was puzzled, and subconsciously looked at that place, but saw two men and two women walking in a group of four walking to the place where the Hanxing Conference was registered under the Hanxing Monument. Xu Yunian realized something and asked, "Is it him?"
"Hmm. The girl nodded, and Xu Yunian clearly felt that her sister, who had always been calm and calm, had a trilling tone in her tone when she spit out such a word, and her breath was slightly unstable.
"Then let's go over?" Xu Yunian asked.
The girl did not respond to Xu Yunian at the first time, but Xu Yunian could see that her sister's jade hand on the armrest of the wheelchair was holding the handrail tightly, and green tendons appeared.
After a long moment, the girl's hand was released, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Slow down." ”
......
Syllable!
Long Xiu pressed her hand on the wooden table in front of her, she stared at the old man in front of her with wide eyes, and her eyebrows swelled with anger: "Why can he participate in the Hanxing Conference, and the two of us can't!?"
The old man seemed to be accustomed to such a situation, he yawned, pointed at Sun Daren and said, "Rules." The Hanxing Conference is called the Hanxing Conference, that is, you can only participate if you are on the list, and there are more than 6,000 people in the list, so you and this little girl are not on the list to make any fun!"
"Whoever says that if you are not on the list, you can't participate in the Hanxing Conference!" Long Xiu said dissatisfied.
"Do you still need to ask? If you can't participate in it if you are not on the list, then everyone will crowd over, and we will not be able to make trouble in this Hanxing Conference for a year and a half, and we will be tired to death!" The old man squinted his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Besides, you can't even squeeze in the first 10,000 people, isn't it equivalent to killing yourself if you participate?"
"Who said I don't have 10,000, I was ......" Long Xiu was suddenly a little anxious when she heard this, she said and glared at Wei Lai on the side: "I was squeezed down." ”
"That's right, being squeezed down means that your skills are not as good as others, isn't this equivalent to being incomparable? 10,000 you can't compare, why are you still here to participate in this Hanxing Conference?" the old man said leisurely.
"You!" Miss Long's temper was hot, and when she heard the old man's words, she immediately became angry.
Fortunately, before she had time to attack, Wei Lai on the side reached out and grabbed her. Then Wei Lai gave Long Xiu a slightly calm look, and then he walked up to the old man and asked respectfully: "Old man, we came from afar, and we really don't know that there are such regulations, but as far as I know, it seems that in the past, there are people who are not on the Hanxing List who have achieved a good ranking in the Hanxing Conference, after all, the Hanxing List only records people whose household registration is in Ningzhou. Is there any other way to be accommodating?"
Wei Lai is not worried about where Long Xiu is going, although he has not had much contact with Cao Tongyun, he can understand very well, this old man is a typical knife mouth tofu heart, since he did not take back Long Xiu's sword, it means that he has probably recognized Long Xiu's disciple in his heart. Wei Lai was worried about Liu Qingyan's whereabouts, the old snake had mentioned Liu Qingyan's innate divine body, and the covetous color shown by the snake at that time made Wei Lai uneasy, and he had to find a good place for Liu Qingyan. He also believed that with Liu Qingyan's talent and the innate divine body of Laoshizi, which was enough to make the Wupan Dragon King covet, it should be enough to attract some famous divine sects in the northern realm. Of course, the premise of all this is that Liu Qingyan has the opportunity to participate in this Hanxing Conference.
Wei Lai's words were extremely polite, but what he said was reasonable, and the old man couldn't help but look up at Wei Lai more, and then said slowly: "Of course it's not impossible, but ......"
"Please also ask the gentleman for advice. Wei Lai didn't give the old man a chance to say but didn't give him a chance to say it, so he asked again.
The old man pursed his lips, and seeing that Wei Lai's attitude was resolute, he didn't have the intention of beating around the bush, so he simply said bluntly: "First of all, you have to find a person who ranks high on the Han Star List, at least a hundred people as a guarantee." “
This condition alone is enough to scare off most people, after all, they can be ranked in the top 100 on the Han Star List, as long as they are not old, they are all genius disciples that the major sects are vying for.
But these words did not make the four young girls in front of them feel uneasy, especially the girl named Long Xiu, who picked up her hands and stared at the huge stone tablet behind the old man, looked at the top hundred names with a serious face, and then asked under the stunned gaze of the old man: "Are you sure?"
Then, just listening to the young man who made the old man feel quite good, nodded: "It should be no problem." ”
The old man sighed secretly that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, none of the top 100 guys on the Han Star List are vegetarians, and the oldest of these teenagers and girls in front of him is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Out of kindness, the old man reminded again: "This alone is not enough, the guarantor you find must prove that your identity is innocent enough." ”
"How do you call innocence?" Long Xiu frowned.
"It's that he has to have evidence or convincing to convince everyone that you are not a guy from an unknown source, after all, you are not on the Han Star list, and we have no way to check whether your household registration belongs to Dayan ......"
......
"Sister. They seem to be in trouble. Xu Yunian looked at Long Xiu and the others who were arguing with the old man, and whispered in the girl's ear.
"I heard it all. The girl replied without looking back, although her voice was kept calm by her best, but through the snow-white neck exposed by the other party, Xu Yunian could still clearly find that her sister's breathing was slightly disordered. He looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly looked strange, and secretly thought in his heart, what kind of ability does this guy have to make his sister still remember after so many years.
"Go, help her make this guarantee. Just as he was thinking about this, the girl's voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Yunian was stunned, his ranking was just in front of the hundred, and with the prestige of the Xu family, it was not a matter of talking about who he wanted to prove his identity. This is not a difficult thing for Xu Yunian, but he can't help but be shocked by how much his sister attaches importance to the boy.
Thinking about this, he secretly muttered in his heart: The female university is not left.
Then he had to take a step forward, step forward, and complete the task assigned by his sister.
"It's easy! I'm his wife, and I've been married to him!
But before he had taken a step, and was still hanging in the air, the woman in front of him suddenly leaned on the boy's shoulder, and shouted loudly......
The voice came into Xu Yunian's ears very clearly, and naturally it couldn't escape the ears of the girl behind him......
Xu Yunian's body froze in place, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was ugly. He turned his head cautiously, looked at the girl behind him, and thought about how to comfort his sister.
But when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the warm smile of the girl in the wheelchair.
Xu Yunian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that he seemed to have misunderstood his sister's thoughts about the guy, maybe they were just simple friends.
"More than a year. At this moment, the girl's voice sounded.
The tone is very soft, but also very calm, and I can't hear the slightest wave.
"Huh?" Xu Yunian looked up at the girl suspiciously.
The corners of the girl's mouth smiled more at that time, and her voice became softer and quieter.
She said.
"Go and transfer the Red Sky Army. ”
