A man with hosta hairpins, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, and a purple shirt came in slowly, standing in the center of the hall. looked at Murong Ke on the main seat, and his voice was warm, "Uncle, I brought the reward for this ring"

Murong Ke looked at the man, his face was kind, his voice smiled "Okay", and turned to the people on the right, "Everyone has been working hard for days, this is a little bit of our heart, please accept it"

After Murong Ke finished speaking, the family members sent the tray in turn, and in front of the remaining nine people except for the top three, the nine people accepted it with a smile and thanked Murong Ke.

Murong Ke said again, "As for the top three of the top three, my nephew 'Murong Ye' will take you to the back to get them later."

Mo Qingxue, Yi Jian, and Shen Kuo all nodded yes.

Murong Ye also followed Murong Ke's gaze and looked at the three of them, and when he saw Qingxue and Lou Hongyue at the first table, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and nodded, and did not step forward to speak. Behind them were Shen Kuo, and until the end, Yi Jian nodded, and they all nodded to each other as a greeting.

Shen Kuo finally got a bounty of 1,000 taels and a sword; Leaning on the sword to get two thousand taels and a sword book; Qingxue chose a book of mechanisms, and in terms of weapons, because there was nothing particularly needed, she chose a bag of hidden weapons.

The shape of the hidden weapon is very chic, and it is also needle-shaped, and the tail is inlaid with a shiny droplet shape of unknown material, which is very beautiful. When Qingxue saw it for the first time, she liked it very much. As for the library to watch books for a day, I'll save it for later.

When we returned to the hall, everyone had largely dispersed. Murong Ye led them to the side hall next to the hall, although it was much smaller than the hall, the layout here also made people feel more warm.

In the side hall, in addition to the twelve of them plus Shen Yuan and Xiao Hongchen, there were also Murong Ke, Murong Ye, Lin Feng, and Zhang Yue and Ma Long who were introduced just now.

This time, everyone sat more casually, and people who knew each other sat together and chatted and drank tea. After waiting for a while, Steward Liu brought in another person, who was the chess piece that had played against Qingxue. He was still wearing a dress with a chessboard in his hand, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand, which should be a chess game, but Qingxue's chess skills were not deep, and he only opened it and didn't see what the chess game was.

The chess piece exchanged a few words with Murong Ke, and then ran over to Qingxue. After Qingxue took off her veil at the banquet, she didn't bring it again, and the chess pieces made an exaggerated appearance, "You are the Mo Qingxue girl who defeated me, yes, it's not a shame to worship such a beautiful girl."

Although it was a compliment, he always felt a little angry when he said it. Qingxue didn't want to respond to such words, but in front of so many people, she still nodded at him and didn't say anything.

Seeing Qingxue's cold reaction, the chess piece didn't pay much attention to it, found a place to sit down, opened his folding fan, and looked at the chess game drawn on it.

Then he was led in by a man named Tao Cheng, and after meeting Murong Ke, he silently found a corner and sat down, it seemed that he was not familiar with anyone at the scene.

The two came in one after another, and after seeing Murong Ke, they each found a place to sit down. Although I didn't know them, according to Lou Hongyue's whisper in Qingxue's ear, they had all participated in this ring, and they all had their own abilities, but they were unlucky, and the opponents they met were relatively strong, so they were brushed down in the first round.

Only then did Qingxue understand why the Murong family insisted on fighting in pairs from beginning to end, it turned out to be convenient for better observation.

The last ones to come in turned out to be Dai Yahe and Xiang Tianhao, as soon as Dai Yahe entered the door, he first glanced at Mo Qingxue's back with resentment, and then followed Xiang Tianhao to Murong Ke and saluted Murong Ke.

When Xiao Hongchen saw that it was them who came in, he hurriedly walked to Qingxue's side, frowning and motioning for Qingxue to look over there.

Qingxue glanced at his gaze, frowned, tied the veil silently, and then shook her head at Xiao Hongchen, and actually closed her eyes to recuperate.

The rest of the people saw the interaction on their side, some knew that they had a conflict that day, and some didn't know it, but they could also see some clues.

Lou Hongyue leaned into Qingxue's ear and whispered, "I heard about that day, is that girl?" ”

She didn't open her eyes, Qingxue just nodded her head.

No one knows that when she opens her eyes, she is looking with her eyes; But when she closed her eyes, she was listening with her ears and feeling with her heart, and the wind and grass around her could not escape her ears.

Although it is a bit of a villain's heart, Qingxue can feel it, Dai Yahe will not give up, if you want to participate in the operation with her this time, you must be more cautious.

Sure enough, as soon as Dai Yahe finished talking to Murong Ke, his resentful eyes looked at this side, and when he passed by Qingxue's side, there was a cold snort.

Murong Ke looked at the people present, and then said, "Thank you for being invited, Murong Ke is here to thank you."

I won't say much else. Let's just say that I'm bringing you all here today, but I actually need your help with something. I know that you all have your own strengths, and I need everyone's cooperation to complete this work.

Whether you are willing to help or not, it is all voluntary, if you don't want to, you can quit now, if you do, I won't let you be busy in vain, if you need anything, you can bring it up at the dinner later.

In this way, you can go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers at night, and by the way, how about we get together again? ”

"What's the busy? Need so many people? How dangerous is it? One of them, sitting in the corner, shouted.

"Well, all I can say now is that we are going to a place, and that place is very dangerous, and it may even be killed" Murong Ke looked at the person who asked the question and replied with a serious face.

Seeing that no one said anything more, Murong Ke nodded to everyone and walked out of the side hall first. Murong Ye stepped forward and led everyone out of the hall, heading towards the backyard through the door on the right side of the hall.

The garden of the Murong family is very large, in the central part, there is a large pond, which is also full of lotus flowers, and the curved wooden cloister leads to the small octagonal pavilion in the center.

When Qingxue and Leng Lone Star first saw it, they were in a trance, and they both remembered Lotus Village.

"Wow! There are also lotus tweeds here, but not as beautiful as the lotus flowers in our lotus village."

An excited female voice came from the other side, and Qingxue thought that she had heard it wrong, why did someone mention it as soon as she thought of Lotus Village. looked at Leng Lone Star suspiciously, and saw that he was also looking over, didn't he hear it wrong?

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, through the cover of flowers and plants, Dai Yahe was walking towards this side excitedly, followed by Xiang Tianhao.

Qingxue frowned slightly, and looked at Leng Lone Star in confusion, Leng Lone Star did not speak, but walked down the corridor to the octagonal pavilion in the middle first.

There are stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion, Leng Lone Star leaned on a pillar, his eyes looked in the direction he came, and his voice was low, "It seems that she is likely to be from Lotus Village, so she will use poison, then she may also have mechanisms and hidden weapons, it seems that we have to be careful to take precautions"

Qingxue frowned and said, "Duan Qing once said that there were two people from Lotus Village, could it be that she was one of them?" If she really came from Lotus Village, she would be a little troublesome, and she was too ruthless to her, how could she be worthy of the people in Lotus Village? But now it seems that if we ignore her, she will not be able to give up with me."

"In short, don't let her know yet, we've been to Lotus Village, and don't even let her know that we know something about Lotus Village" Although Leng Lone Star was still expressionless, he could still hear it in his voice, and he also had scruples.

A person came from afar, and Leng Lone Star immediately closed his mouth and looked at the person who came over.

"You guys are here, it's very quiet here, and it's easy to talk," Lin Feng greeted the two of them familiarly.

"Hmm," Qingxue nodded, "Is Daoist Shen okay?" ”

"When I went back to the mountain a while ago, he was very tough." Lin Feng paused for a moment before continuing, "You are indeed the very powerful girl he often mentions, the first time I was at the gate of the Murong family, I felt that you were very similar to the person he described. Let's get to know each other officially, I'm Lin Feng."

"Hello, I'm Mo Qingxue. Did Daoist Shen mention me to you? ”

"Of course, since I saw you, every time I go back, I have heard the master mention you, although I haven't seen it, but your name is like thunder," Lin Feng described exaggeratedly.

Qingxue also laughed, "You too, Daochang Shen often mentions you." By the way, let me introduce you, this is Leng Lone Star, where it came from, I think you probably already know it."

"Well, Master also talked about Brother Leng, the capable man of Peach Blossom Village, how dare I not remember it, I'm glad to meet you"

It stands to reason that Daochang Shen is actually two generations older than Qingxue, and his disciples are also a generation older than Qingxue. But Shen Daochang said that there are not so many rules on the rivers and lakes, they are all their own friends, there is no need to be so clear, there are still many friends on the rivers and lakes! For example, Qingxue's master and Shen Daochang are like this. Therefore, it is also appropriate for Lin Feng to be a brother to Leng Lone Star.

Leng Lone Star greeted Lin Feng, and listened to them quietly, except for Qingxue, he was still not used to communicating with other people.

Lin Feng sat for a while and left first. When he left, he also reminded Qingxue to be careful of Dai Yahe, he also knew about the events of that day, and today Dai Yahe looked at Qingxue's eyes, obviously with unkindness.

As soon as Lin Feng left, Lou Hongyue came over, "I didn't expect that the Murong family would make such a big battle this time, everyone here is a first-class master, and each has a skill."

"Well, we all have to be careful, there is a time bomb on my side, you still keep a little distance from me, secretly help me pay attention, be careful in everything" Qingxue is still more concerned about Dai Yahe's affairs, if she really learns from Lotus Village, then her ability to use poison should be very high, and it is difficult to prevent it.

"Okay, now there are many forces here, what each has in mind, it's not clear, fortunately, we pretended not to know each other at the beginning, so that we can still take care of each other, and be light and dark for each other" Lou Hongyue whispered while pretending to look at the scenery.

Leng Lone Star coughed lightly and signaled that someone was coming over again. Qingxue and Lou Hongyue looked at each other, it was Murong Ye who had seen it, Lou Hongyue laughed, and Qingxue also showed a faint smile.
