Wen Sheng and his entourage fortunately left two days early, and on the fifteenth day of the winter month, they just left Kaizhou and entered the Mizhou realm, and snowflakes fell in the sky.

The snow became heavier and heavier, and by the evening it had become goose feathers, and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground.

The cold wind was bitter, and a large area of snow and fog was raised, but strangely there were no clouds in the sky, only a red patch in the west.

Li Junchi is well-informed, and said to Wensheng: "Miss Gu, it seems that there will be a heavy wind and snow in the next two days, let's not stay tonight, we will travel overnight, and we will almost be able to get to the place tomorrow morning, as long as we reach the foot of Shunjin Mountain smoothly, it doesn't matter if it is windy or snowy!" ”

Wen Sheng replied "yes", and everyone continued to hurry in the snow.

Sure enough, the next day before dawn, there was a hailstorm, and the wind was so strong that it could blow people away, and it didn't take much time, and there was a thick layer of ice on the road, and the horses slipped when they walked on it.

Li Junchi urged the horse to follow the escort carefully beside the car, and said loudly: "Brothers, hold on, and you will see Shunjin Mountain in front of you immediately." ”

Wen Sheng sat in the car, holding the topographic map of Shunjin Mountain in his hand, and the guqin "Taiping" had undergone some careful maintenance before going out and was placed next to it.

After not sleeping all night, she felt that the bump was about to fall apart, and she covered her mouth and yawned, secretly wondering what kind of impact this sudden snowstorm would have on Doule.

Li Junchi and others had already found out before that the magistrate of Mizhou attached great importance to Tan Laoguoshi's personal visit to Shunjin Mountain to fight music, and controlled the road into the mountain half a month in advance, and accompanied the people sent by the Tan family to check everywhere in the mountain.

Shunjin Mountain is divided into two peaks, east and west, and the east peak is slightly slower. The west peak descends the abyss, the cliffs are steep, and beyond that. There are also natural viewing platforms on the mountainside and several valleys, and until the last moment, it is difficult to judge where Tan Lao Guoshi will choose to fight.

From vaguely looking at Shunjin Mountain in the morning sun, to walking more than ten miles of mountain road, reaching the foot of the mountain, two hours have passed.

Wen Sheng and the others arrived at their destination before noon, and they were sleepy. Find a place to rest first.

When I arrived, I realized how much impact the fight had this time, and the movement of Pingxiongling was compared with the present. It's just a small thing.

Probably because the whole Liang heard that once Old Master Tan lost to Gu Wensheng, the Tan family would all retire now, and the impact on the situation would almost change the world. So it doesn't matter who it is. Whichever side of the force belongs, as long as they are a little concerned about the future of Daliang, they have arranged personnel to rush to Mizhou as much as possible, hoping to get accurate information as soon as possible.

These people who watched the excitement arrived earlier than Wen Sheng, so they were not affected by the wind and snow, and they lived around Shunjin Mountain early in the morning, calling friends and companions. It's even more lively than a temple fair.

Although the vast majority of them felt that the old national master Tan was in control of the victory in this battle, they were basically nine out of ten.

This can be seen in the betting markets set up everywhere.

The situation of the bets is almost one-sided. Almost all of the winners of the bet were with the psychology of picking up the leaks.

Wen Sheng and his entourage were silent, mingled among these people, and first found a place to live.

Half a day passed in a flash, and the wind was not so strong in the early morning of the seventeenth day of the winter month, but the snow was big and small, and it never stopped.

Seeing this, Li Junchi and the others became more and more worried.

In their minds, Tan Lao Guoshi is old and refined, and he has walked more bridges than Wen Sheng, and he has never encountered any accidents, and such a snowstorm must be beneficial to him.

I wonder if the other party is willing to postpone the fight for a few days and wait for the weather to clear before starting?

Wen Sheng looked quite calm, and when he heard Li Junchi say this, he said with a smile: "Then I'll discuss it with him later." ”

She didn't find it inconvenient to snow, but since there was a ready-made reason to delay, why not?

Everyone saw that the time was almost up, and drove to the mountain pass to meet the people of the Tan family.

There were many people waiting at the mountain pass early in the morning, and there were officers and soldiers guarding them, and they could not enter the mountain, so they had to spread out in the wilderness, waiting in groups of three or five.

At first, Li Junchi came over with a few escort carriages, but before he could attract everyone's attention, he saw that the group did not avoid it, and went straight to the mountain pass, and I don't know who shouted: "People are coming from the water!" Gu Wensheng is here! ”

Soon the crowd followed the carriage and gathered towards the mountain pass.

Gu Wensheng really came to the appointment on time.

When the car approached, the man who was driving the car stopped the carriage with a shout, and turned back and said, "Master Gule, we are here." ”

Li Junchi urged the horse to step forward, although the horse was slippery on the ice and snow mountain road, but he sat firmly, and the person guarding the road into the mountain bowed his hand, and said politely: "Under the command of the Guogong of Xiali Shuicheng, Li Junchi, escort Gu Leshi to come, I don't know if Old Guoshi Tan has arrived?" I would also like to ask you to let me know. ”

The opposite checkpoint is headed by the captain of the Tan family's guards, and Tan Lao Guoshi personally makes an appointment to fight, and the opponent must be respected, especially in front of the world, which reflects the demeanor and cultivation of the Tan family.

Therefore, he also hugged his fists and saluted back: "Li Daxia, look up for a long time." Mr. Tan has arrived, and we have sent someone to report it, and I ask Master Gu Le to wait. ”

After a short time, a group of people came down from the mountain road.

Li Junchi is a person who practices martial arts, his eyes are sharp, and he can recognize Mr. Tan Da who is walking in the middle at a glance.

Mr. Tan Da was dressed in black, his body was slightly sideways, and one hand carefully protected the old man next to him, just looking at this respectful appearance, the energetic and vigorous old man beside him would not be someone else, it must be Tan Mengzhou, the old national teacher Tan Mengzhou.

Li Junchi's heart jumped twice, Rao is he has passed a lot of winds and waves, and when he sees such a big person, he can't help but sweat a little in his palms.

He circled the horse's head and turned back to the horse lane: "Master Gule, the Tan family has come down the mountain." ”

The curtain of the car opened, and Wen Sheng got out of the car unhurriedly.

Wen Sheng wore a pale yellow plain soft satin stand-up collar robe today, embroidered with hibiscus on the cuffs, on a snowy day, and covered with a moon-white cotton cloak outside, wearing a snow hat, his exposed face was not as big as a palm, his complexion was as white as jade, and he looked a few years younger than his real age.

Although she was dressed thickly, she looked at the figure. Not only did he feel bloated, but he actually had a bit of a delicate and dusty atmosphere.

Wen Sheng just held the piano in his arms and stepped on the snow. calmly greeted Old Master Tan, ignoring the "buzzing" sound coming from afar.

But there were a few people in the crowd who shouted so loudly that they couldn't ignore it.

"Miss Gu, compare yourself, I bet a thousand taels on you! If you lose, I'll ......."

As soon as the man's words came out, he burst into laughter. Everyone was gossiping, and the loudness of the voice instantly drowned out his next words.

Soon, a louder shout came from the other direction: "Miss Gu, you guys are here to compete!" "Yes. In front of all of us, he told us to open our eyes, and we would not see it when we went into the mountains. ”

Wen Sheng paused and did not respond.

Lu Fen was on his side to protect. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and gestured. said arrogantly: "Gu Leshi is no problem, but Old Master Tan is afraid of losing!" ”

It's just that it's too noisy and no one hears what he says, otherwise although he said the truth, the people watching the excitement don't know the inside story, so they have to boo him together.

The members of the Tan family are still in the filial piety period, including the old national teacher Tan, all of them are dressed in black robes and white linen belts. Mr. Tan San's right sleeve is empty, and he is also among them.

The group walked down the mountain. The look is solemn, and just looking at it makes people's scalps tighten.

As they got closer and closer, the people outside the mountain gradually fell silent, and no one dared to make a loud noise anymore.

Most of them were meeting the sons of the Zhu family for the first time, not to mention the old national teacher Tan.

Wen Sheng bowed slightly: "The juniors came as promised, and I saw Old Master Tan." Then without waiting for Tan Mengzhou to respond, he nodded at Mr. Tan next to him: "Mr. Big, let's meet again." ”

Tan Ruibo's expression was a little embarrassed.

Wen Sheng turned to Mr. Tan Er on the other side, this time bowing sincerely, and sighed, "The student has seen the dean. ”

Tan Ruide was speechless for a while.

Seeing Gu Wensheng after such a long time made it difficult for him not to think of his son, and his heart was suddenly as sad as a knife.

Seeing this, Old Master Tan snorted: "Since you are here, then please go up the mountain." ”

Wen Sheng stood still and said: "Before the fight, I want to listen to your predecessors in front of the people of the world to promise again, if I lose this battle, it depends on you alone, if Wen Sheng is lucky to win, then what?" ”

Old Master Tan sneered: "If you win, the old and young of the Tan family will go into hiding, regardless of political affairs, even the musicians of Xuanyin Pavilion, as long as they are related to us, will also be included." ”

"That's very good. I believe that according to your prestige and the status of the Tan family, there will be no backtracking. Wen Sheng's gaze swept over Tan Jinhua, Tan Kanghua and others, turned back to Mr. Tan Da's face, and said, "The previous Pingxiong Ling Doule, Mr. Tan Da once said that if it is a tie, it will be regarded as a junior win, I don't know ...... old national teacher Tan this time."

She dragged out a long tone in an inquiring tone, Tan Ruibo didn't know why, his heart jumped, and suddenly a bad premonition sprung up, but before he could speak, the old father had already said: "Even if you win, what else is there to be verbose?" ”

Tan Mengzhou successively learned about Wen Sheng's skills from his eldest son, the Yi brothers and the "Tibetan Touyu" Chen Yu, and was very sure of the outcome of this battle.

Drawn? How can it be.

Therefore, he was provoked by Wen Sheng's words, so he simply agreed, saving the world from saying that he bullied the small.

Wen Sheng also thought of this festival on the way here.

Musicians fight music, it is extremely rare to end in a draw, after all, everyone is good at attacking others, and they will continue to fight if they can't hold each other, and there will always be a time to decide the winner and loser, especially this time it is clear that it is a life-and-death fight that does not leave hands.

So everyone ignored it before, and they didn't mention it.

But it's rare not for nothing, and if it happens, there must always be an explanation, so as not to be busy in vain.

As soon as Old Master Tan spoke, Wen Sheng glanced at Li Junchi.

Li Junchi understood, sank into the dantian, and shouted outside the mountain: "Old Master Tan has something to say, and if the battle is tied, Gu Leshi will win!" ”

This voice spread for several miles, shaking the snow on the mountain roads on both sides, and everyone in the Tan family felt that their ears were full of echoes "Gu Le Shi wins" "Gu Le Shi wins", and their faces couldn't help but change slightly.

Old Master Tan snorted heavily.

Wen Sheng's goal was achieved, and he said with a smile: "Let's go up the mountain, and ask the seniors to lead the way." ”

Merge the two together and follow the mountain road up the mountain.

Wen Sheng said again: "Although this music fight is already ready to be sent, the younger generation still has to say that the previous rumors were not spread by me, and I am also the victim, and besides, Miss Tan's death has nothing to do with me, I will be so verbose, and sooner or later the truth will be revealed." ”

Originally, on an occasion like today, Tan Jinhua didn't have the right to speak, but he just opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the surname Zhong now?" ”

Wen Sheng snorted: "I want to know too." ”

Tan Jinhua didn't speak again with a gloomy face, he suddenly interjected and asked this, I don't know if he believed Wen Sheng's words, and suspected that Zhong Tianzheng was making trouble in secret.

The rest of the Tan family didn't make a sound, only heard the creaking of footsteps, and went west in silence.

After walking for a short time, Li Junchi was surprised and said: "Is this going to the West Peak, today's fight is going to the West Peak?" ”

Mr. Tan Er said: "Not bad. ”

"That's why, the west peak is already steep, and with such a heavy snowfall, you will fall into the valley if you are not careful......"

Old Master Tan didn't want to deal with Li Junchi, but who knew that he couldn't stop questioning, and snorted coldly when he heard this: "Accidental? Wouldn't you be careful? ”

Wen Sheng signaled to Li Junchi that there is no need to say it, the other party must have their considerations when choosing Xifeng as a place to fight, the biggest possibility is that there is no ambush there, and there is no way to hide people, if it comes to Tan Mengzhou's level, there will be only "Lianzhi".

And so it is.

The prospect of Jie, Li Junchi and others came to Shunjin to investigate the terrain, and there were also many masters on the Tan family's side, if it weren't for the scouts of the Ji family's army, it would be possible for both sides to meet in person, and they were not fools over there, so they naturally noticed it.

Tan Mengzhou was worried that Wen Sheng would repeat his old tricks again, and sent people to quietly hide in the place of Doule, and the cave and crypt could not be guarded against, no more, as long as two or three, he would capsize in the gutter.

So he simply set the fight at the West Peak.

Wen Sheng understood when he arrived at the place.

I don't know how the Tan family found it, but what stood in front of everyone's eyes was a huge rock.

The boulder is steep on three sides, with a gentle slope on one side, allowing one to walk up the slope to the rock. The stone is hard, there is no grass near the boulder, although there is snow cover, you can see it at a glance, there is not even a cave around here, let alone Tibetans, not even a rabbit can hide.

The attendants of the Tan family had already cleaned up the snow on the gentle slope and the boulder.

Tan Mengzhou took the piano, stretched out his hand and said, "It's on it, please." ”

Mr. Tan Er said to Li Junchi gently: "My father and Miss Gu are fighting on it, let's leave here and watch the battle in another place." ”

Before, the Tan family didn't expect Wen Sheng to only bring these few people over.

Li Junchi watched Tan Mengzhou and Wen Sheng go up the cliff, and he was worried. (To be continued.) )
