Section 2: Referendum

Early the next morning, hundreds of Hebei high-rollers who received invitations arrived at Sancai Fort one after another, and Sancai Fort referendum Nangong Jiu was originally to invite those who had a relationship with the Nangong family or had a close relationship with Sancai Fort. However, the Northern Martial Arts have legends that Sancai Fort has won the martial arts treasure "Yangming Heart Sutra", and the people of the rivers and lakes attach great importance to the secret books of martial arts as life. Therefore, there are many uninvited guests, even from the Jiangnan sect.

Although Sancai Fort is a basin, there is no lack of elegant scenery around it. The three heroes of the Peng family set up an open-air banquet outside the fort, and hundreds of burgers acted as intimate guests, inviting the group of heroes to sit and enjoy the scenery while eating.

Yu Chunhua and the others also arrived early, and they were a group of more than 30 people, all of whom sat down in Dongshou. From the east to the west, there is a circle of green forests surrounding the mountains, and the ridges are as green as ink, and the ink color seems to reveal a sense of tranquility. Everyone used some tea, fruits and vegetables, and then someone outside the table said loudly: "The prince of Nangong Yuan of the Nangong family in Xingtai has arrived!"

Everyone looked forward to it, only to see Nangong Yuan leading two hundred people including Ruan Jin, Shi Bingchuan, and Xu Liulin to slowly enter the venue, which can be described as huge. The people on the side said one after another: "Sancai Fort is so fanfare, how can the Nangong family fall behind him? Look at Nangong Yuan's formation, it is not inferior to Sancai Fort at all." This battle is worth watching!"

Mo Junyan looked at it for a long time, but he never saw Yang Ling and Yu Meng, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Where will Brother Yang and Senior Sister be? ”

The three heroes of the Peng family came out to greet him, and Peng Tianshi arched his hand and said, "Hello Nangong Xian, please take a seat inside." Although his words were polite, his expression was very arrogant, and he obviously disdained to have a relationship with Nangong Yuan's peers.

Nangong Yuan returned the salute and was about to ask about Nangong Jiu, but was dissuaded by Shi Bingchuan. Shi Bingchuan said: "Childe, the conference has not started yet, and first listen to what the three males of the Peng family say, and then ask about the ninth prince is not too late." Nangong Yuan nodded and led the crowd to sit down in the wooden shed.

It was almost noon, and there were more than 1,000 people. Peng Tianshi stood up from the chairman's position, and after saluting the guests, he said loudly: "Today's invitation to you is just to discuss a matter. Nangong Jiu killed his father, which violated the way of benevolence and filial piety, and it can be described as a serious sin. My Northern Martial Arts has always upheld justice, and now this person has been captured by my Sancai Fort, whether to kill or chop, Sancai Fort does not dare to be self-dedicated, and respectfully invite all the respected martial arts people to discuss the disposal strategy. ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hands and motioned for Qunhao to speak casually. Yu Chunhua snorted and said: "Although Boss Peng seems to be rude, when he said this, he went straight to the point, but he pushed the responsibility away. He didn't mention Nangong Yuan at all, and said that Sancai Fort didn't dare to be self-dictatorated, and naturally it couldn't be self-explanatory by your Nangong family, so it had to be voted on. ”

After Peng Tianshi finished speaking, he took a seat, and a person stood up in the southwest corner, describing Kui Wei, his eyes were blazing, and he said loudly: "Nangong Jiu killed his own father, he is a heinous person, and he should be executed by Ling Chi, so why should Lord Peng ask others again." Since there is a referendum today, you might as well kill him here, I will wait to eat a mouthful of his flesh and drink a mouthful of his blood to comfort the spirit of the owner of Nangong Feifeng Village in the sky!"

Mo Junyan didn't know this person, Yu Chunhua told him: "This person is 'Xiling Knife' Liu Feng, who was good friends with Nangong Feifeng back then, but he was neither good with Nangong Yuan nor Nangong Jiu, but he was a party in Sancai Fort. ”

Ning Er said: "Sancai Fort and Nangong are obviously in the same situation, he can still eat both, but he is really tight." ”

As soon as Liu Feng said this, hundreds of people around him echoed him, all saying that it was better to kill him as soon as possible. In the chaos, I suddenly heard a gloomy voice and said: "Nangong Jiu is a member of the Nangong family, and the people of his Nangong family have not spoken, but you people who watch the drama talk loudly and are not ashamed." These words are yin and yang, but they are still clear in the ears of everyone.

The people looked together to see where the sound came, but they could not see who it was. At this time, hearing him say this, everyone came back to their senses: "Yes, there are a lot of people from the Nangong family, I don't know if Nangong Yuan cares about brotherhood and opens the net, or he wants to kill his brother to avenge his father." ”

Everyone thought about it, and looked in the direction of Nangong Yuan. Nangong Yuan was helpless, so he had to stand up and said: "My father, Feifeng Gong, unfortunately died under the killers of the Star Picking Building, Nangong Yuan is incompetent, and he has not been able to avenge his father so far. This is the shame of my Nangong family, you are all my fellow martial arts fellows, and you have a lot of connections with your father. Thanks to Liu's predecessors for not giving up and willing to avenge his father, Nangong Yuan is here to thank him. His voice was low but very clear, and he waved at Liu Feng after speaking.

Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "Yuan nephew is slow." I have been friends with your father for many years, so I will be an elder. As far as Liu knows, although Brother Feifeng died at the hands of the killer of the Star Picking Tower, the killer of the Star Picking Tower was instructed by Nangong Jiu, although it was not Nangong Jiu who killed his father with his own hands, it can also be said that he died indirectly at his hands, and there is no difference in his crimes. Let's kill Nangong Jiu first, and then go to the Star Picking Tower to settle accounts!"

Nangong Yuan said: "Whether it is due to Nangong Jiu's instructions has not been verified, so we can't be too arbitrary." In this way, since Lord Pengbao has captured him, why don't you ask Sancai Fort to bring out Nangong Jiu and let him confront us face to face. If he is really the mastermind of killing my father, then I, as a brother, will naturally spare him. If he is not the mastermind, how can we just listen to rumors and kill innocents?"

His words are reasonable, and it is indeed difficult to refuse. After hearing this, Liu Feng glanced at Brother Peng Tianshi. Peng Tianshi said: "The master of Nangong Zhuang is reasonable. Come on, take Nangong Jiu. His voice was not heavy, but it was far away. Everyone couldn't help but admire: "This Peng Tianshi has really practiced 'Xuanhuang Internal Strength', and his internal strength is so deep, I'm afraid that he is not under Peng Sancai back then." ”

Not long after, Bao Ding really brought Nangong Jiu to the venue. When the heroes saw Nangong Jiu, they scolded angrily, and threw melons and fruits at Nangong Jiutou's face, not to mention the few. Nangong Jiuyi was dressed in blue, with an expressionless face. With shackles on his hands, he turned a blind eye to all the people around him, and no matter how insulted others were, he didn't say anything. Only when he saw Nangong Yuan, he was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he returned to indifference.

Ye Xiaotian said secretly: "It seems that this is Peng Tianshi's intention, taking this opportunity to slash the face of the Nangong family, so that he can take the throne of Sancai Castle." ”

Nangong Yuan couldn't bear it, and was about to stop everyone, but he heard Ruan Jin say: "Yuan Gongzi, it is not appropriate to be an enemy of the heroes at this moment, please be patient." Shi Bingchuan also said: "Yes, most of these people were invited by Sancai Fort to help with boxing, we have few people, we must not be reckless, every word and every move is related to the overall situation." ”

Nangong Yuan sighed, so he could only look away. Nangong Jiu had been brought to the center of the venue, Liu Feng pointed at Nangong Jiu and scolded: "You beast is not as good as a beast, if God has eyes, I should really give you a heavenly thunderbolt! Brother Feifeng, you manifest your spirit, take a good look at how this rebel accepts retribution!"

Nangong Jiu sneered, shook off the filth on his body, and spit out a mouthful of phlegm in the direction of Peng Tianshi. Seeing his arrogant demeanor, Qunhao was very annoyed, and shouted and scolded: "When death is on the verge of death, you are still so arrogant!" "I must give him some color to see!" "Break his leg first!" The shouting and scolding came and went.

Shi Bingchuan came out and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Qunhao scolded himself for a while, and then slowly stopped. Shi Bingchuan said: "Nangong Jiu, you are now a prisoner of the order, why don't you put away your arrogance and explain the cause and effect clearly, maybe you can still save your life." ”

"Shameless villain, just because you deserve to ask me?" Nangong Jiu didn't appreciate it. Qunhao was furious, they were about to scold, but they heard that Nangong Yuan had already stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Ninth brother, you tell me honestly, what the hell are you, have you ever colluded with the killer of Xinglou?"

Nangong Jiu was silent for a moment before he said, "Hmph, what's the use of talking about this now?"

"Ninth brother, you will make it clear in front of me, if there is anything unspeakable, you might as well say it, if you are really wronged, I Nangong Yuan swear to the sky, swear in front of all the heroes in this conference, I will wash away your grievances and protect you!" Nangong Yuan said loudly. Shi Bingchuan and Ruan Jin were both taken aback, and it was too late to stop them.

Qunhao was also secretly surprised: "I heard that the Nangong Yuanjiu brothers have never been harmonious, and that day in Qingfeng Building, the two of them have fought to the death in order to compete for the position of the head of the family, and he can still say such words of maintenance today." The name of 'Gai Meng' really lives up to its name. Some people also thought: "Nangong Yuan said this, it must be a sympathy card played, he must be sure of Nangong Jiu's crime, so he will retreat as advance, as long as Nangong Jiuyi admits it, then he can let Sancai Fort deal with Nangong Jiu, and he can not bear the responsibility of not saving his brother." The heroes on the rivers and lakes will give him a thumbs up and praise him for a good 'Gai Mengwei', and kill his relatives with righteousness. ”

Everyone only said that Nangong Jiu must have denied it, but Nangong Jiu sighed, but he replied without asking: "Big brother, haven't you really thought about it, why should I compete with you for the position of the head of the family? My Nangong family has always been the eldest and not the young, you are the eldest son, I am not qualified to fight with you, and I have never wanted to fight with you, but why do I still have to fight with you?" He said the word "fight" three times in a row, and the three words were all stressed.

Qunhao listened and was puzzled.

Nangong Yuan took two steps back by his question. Nangong Jiu saw his embarrassment and knew that he actually knew the whole story. "Let's go back. Nangong Jiu said lightly, he had already turned around and no longer looked at Nangong Yuan.

Nangong Yuan suddenly stepped forward again, put his right hand on Nangong Jiu's left shoulder, and said loudly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it's true!" There were tears in his eyes, and he couldn't restrain himself. Everyone didn't know what they meant by these words, and for a while, the conference hall was silent, and thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at the two Nangong brothers.

Seeing this, Shi Bingchuan hurriedly stepped forward to help Nangong Yuan return to his position, but Nangong Yuan still did not move.

Peng Tianshi coughed and said: "Nangong Jiu, the eldest husband does things alone, you can clearly say something, whether there is any collusion with Xinglou, whether there is collusion with them to assassinate Nangong Yuan." ”

"Huh. That's right, I invited them, not only them, but even the people of the Black Sect. Nangong Jiu said suddenly. With that, he sat down and closed his eyes.

Everyone was in an uproar all of a sudden: "This person is really not as good as a beast!" "He is still colluding with the people of the Black Sect! It is really heinous!" "Great rebellion! He should be killed!"

Ye Xiaotian glanced at Yu Chunhua and said, "Senior Yu, what should I do now?" Yu Chunhua shook his hand, indicating that the time had not yet come. After all, Mo Junyan and Ning Er didn't understand the conversation between Nangong Yuan and the Jiuer brothers, and asked unconsciously, "What do they mean by those words?"

Yu Chunhua hadn't answered yet, but at the venue, Liu Feng had already pulled out a long knife and shouted: "Now that he has admitted it himself, he can't blame us, first teach this rebel to be stabbed by me!"

"Stop!" Nangong Yuan shouted urgently, the bottom of his hand was not slow, his right hand was pumped to his waist, the green steel sword was unsheathed, only to hear the sound of "Qiang", the sword snorted, Liu Feng only felt a soft tenacity on the sword, no matter how he pressed down, the other party could fight back with equal strength.

After all, the Xiling knife is not a mediocre hand, this long knife has been crisscrossing northern Hebei for more than 20 years, but at this moment it is also difficult to ride a tiger. Advance, can't repel the opponent's long sword, retreat, how can this old face be put aside? Liu Feng's big face turned purple, his left hand held the handle of the knife, exerted all his strength, and slashed hard. Nangong Yuan's face did not change color, he was still holding the sword in one hand, neither retreating nor stepping forward.

Peng Tianshi and other masters all know that Nangong Yuan's hand is to resist the opponent's strength with the soft strength of the other party, although Liu Feng's strength is strong, the knife technique is not weak, that is the outer door kung fu, if you compete with others, this Xiling knife is definitely not weak, but if you compete with Nangong Yuan and other inner masters, this kind of outer door masters, but they are at a disadvantage.

Du Cheng, the leader of the Xuanwu Gang in Northern Hebei, came out and said: "Brother Liu, after all, this Nangong Jiu was captured by Sancai Fort, and he Sancai Fort still said that he didn't dare to dispose of it without authorization, why did Brother Liu not know the general situation." Come on, come on, put down the knife first, and after the thousands of heroes at the meeting have discussed, they really want to kill and chop, and then ask Brother Liu to be the first to do it!"

He was right, and everyone nodded secretly. Liu Feng couldn't refute it, but he was entangled by Nangong Yuan's softness, and he was quite unable to advance or retreat.

Du Cheng saw the clue, took a knife and a sword from the left and right gangs, stepped forward, and flicked between the blades of Nangong Yuan and Liu Feng, everyone saw that his huge body shook twice, and then stabilized, and they all said secretly: "This 'iron-backed ao' should not be underestimated, he took over the internal strength of the two of them with this understatement." Although it was just a moment, the strength of the two of them was not trivial after all, he just shook it, which shows that this old fish's kung fu is very solid!"

Nangong Yuan and Liu Feng both took advantage of the situation to put away their blades, Liu Feng glanced at Nangong Yuan coldly, and put the knife into the sheath. After Mo Junyan saw Du Cheng separate, he also retreated to the wooden shed of his Xuanwu Gang. He was curious, and he didn't realize that he had taken a few more looks, and he was in the east, and Du Cheng and the others were in the west, facing each other.

There were about a dozen people from the Xuanwu Gang, all of whom were dressed in black, which was very easy to identify. But in this group of black clothes, there were two people around, one was extremely tall and black, and the other was sitting in a wheelchair, covering his face with a hat, but he didn't know what his appearance was. Mo Junyan saw it clearly, and after Du Cheng returned to the wooden shed, he immediately bowed down and whispered something to the man in the wheelchair, looking at his respectful demeanor, as if he was a servant to his master.

Mo Junyan secretly wondered: "Du Cheng is the leader of a gang, why is he so deferential to that person? What is the identity of that person, and he came to Sancai Fort for the affairs of the Nangong family, or for the Yangming Heart Sutra?"
