The cold winter of the eleventh year of Zhaohong is destined to be a not peaceful season for the court, rivers and lakes, and the market.

The undercurrent between the emperors and generals has not yet surfaced, the extreme cold suffering of the people in the countryside has just shown signs of gathering stars into fire, and the rivers and lakes have stirred up layers of waves in a pool of stagnant water that has been silent for ten years because of a few large stones that suddenly fell into the water.

First, the contemporary sword saint Zhu Liu openly appeared in the Eagle Tower, and then the Junshan Cao family completely took refuge in the imperial court, and the two great sword scholars on the rivers and lakes seemed to have begun to stand in line between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court again.

And Chen Chong, the spear god who was far away in the northern Xinjiang, went to the Northern Qi Dynasty alone, and fought a decisive battle against Yan Huilin, the head of the moon worship platform on the Tianshan Mountain.

So far, eight of the ten Wukui have been released, and the hidden half-immortals such as Gonggong Jia and Li Hansheng have not yet been revealed, and who will be the next Wukui has become the focus of discussion among many Jianghu people.

Compared with these things, Zhong Li Chuchu, a stunning beauty who had just been selected as Zhaohong's Bakui, entered the Hongshan Shan Village with her master and drugged hundreds of men, just like children playing around at home.

However, just as Zhong Li Jiujiu said, such shocking methods did shake the entire rivers and lakes.

Taizhou, which is more than 200 miles away from Jinling City, is overcrowded in Goolan wine shops, and there are storytellers everywhere telling the joke of 'three hundred boys in Hongshan Lake in close hand-to-hand combat'.

Xue Chengzhi, one of the ten martial arts leaders of the dynasty and the master of Liuhemen, was also on the high platform outside the martial arts arena, listening to his protégé tell the 'interesting things' that happened on the side of Hongshan Lake.

As the only top Jianghu sect in the south of the Yangtze River, Liuhemen has great influence in Taizhou, and even the government has to give three points, and most of the Jianghu people in the south of the Yangtze River are concentrated in Taizhou City, which is also one of the few pure lands on the rivers and lakes after the Iron Eagle Hunting.

Xue Chengzhi is only a sixtieth year, his hair is gray, but his burly body and skin are bronzed, and he sits on the Taishi chair like an iron tower, not looking old at all. After listening to the disciple's retelling, he shook his head slightly:

"Ye Jiu Niang? The old man seems to have heard about it ten years ago, he made trouble in Wudang Mountain, and glared at Qingxu real people angrily, ten years have passed, but I didn't expect to be alive......"

"Yes, Sun Qian is also one of the best players in Jiangnan, and he was so humiliated by Ye Jiuniang, I'm afraid he won't give up......"

"The young people on the rivers and lakes act like this, they don't know the sky, and they can't complain about others......"

Hundreds of disciples were practicing marksmanship on the martial arts field, and while Xue Chengzhi and his apprentices were chatting, a disciple came over and said softly with a letter of worship:

"Master, Wu Wei, a wild Taoist, came to ask for a meeting, you ...... look"

"Wu Wei?"

Xue Chengzhi frowned.

The reputation of the people in the rivers and lakes is important, Xue Chengzhi doesn't look down on Wu Wei as a disgraceful Jianghu guest, and as for the distant relative who died at the hands of the wolf guard, he didn't bother to ask.

However, at the beginning of the year, Wu Wei brought a little girl, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her talent as a rare encounter in a hundred years. After thinking about it for a while, Xue Chengzhi still got up and came to the living room, and asked his disciple to call Wu Wei in.

After a while, Wu Wei, a wild Taoist who had just arrived in Taizhou, carried a treasure knife wrapped in black cloth, and after coming to the living room, he made a junior salute to Xue Chengzhi who was sitting on the Taishi chair:

"Meet ...... Xue"

"Excuse me."

Xue Chengzhi held the teacup, didn't even raise his eyelids, and gestured to the seat next to him: "Little Peach Blossom can find the master?" ”

Wu Wei sat down in the living room with a respectful attitude:

"Lao Xue is worried, I went to Northern Qi a few days ago, and took the little peach blossom to worship under the door of Zuo Qingqiu Zuo Gong."

Xue Chengzhi was not surprised to hear this, and nodded lightly: "The Northern Qi National Teacher has a long heritage, and his martial arts attainments are above me, so it is appropriate to teach Xiao Taohua, and I think that after ten years, the first female martial artist in the world will be able to go out of the mountain." However, speaking of which, the old gentleman of Yuelu Mountain is more suitable, after all, Northern Qi is an enemy country, which may be inconvenient in the future. ”

Wu Wei sighed: "The old immortal dragon in Yuelu Mountain can't see the head and the tail, he doesn't come to me, where can I find him, and now I'm content...... I came to visit Mr. Xue today because I had something to discuss with Mr. Xue. ”

With Wu Wei's status in the rivers and lakes, he is not qualified to talk to Tang Jiao, who is ashamed of Wu Kui, and he obviously doesn't know how many catties and taels he has, and the Liuhe Sect disciple next to him suddenly frowned.

Wu Wu didn't want to be thrown out, so he hurriedly took out a gold medal from his arms.

Xue Chengzhi paused slightly to drink tea, turned his head and let the disciple out of the living room, and only after the door was closed did he frown:

"Are you doing something for King Wu?"

Wu Wei didn't say much, nodded and said, "Eating under King Wu made Xue Gong smile." ”

Xue Chengzhi is a native of the rivers and lakes after all, and no matter how senior he is, it is impossible to despise the royal family, otherwise he would have been served in a pot when the Iron Eagle was hunting deer. He put down the teacup and turned his head to look at Wu Wei:

"Something to say."

Wu Wei smiled lightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It is rumored that collecting four pieces of jade can find the "Tongtian Treasure Book", and King Wu is also interested in this, and has now found the whereabouts of the jade, but the identity of King Wu is not easy to sell......"

"The "Treasure Book of Heaven" is rumored to be able to live forever and ascend to the feather, this nonsense is okay to deceive the chicks of the rivers and lakes, and King Wu also believes it?"

"I'm just passing on a word, whether King Wu believes it or not, I don't know, but I'm really interested in jade."

Jianghu people have their own rules, don't ask more if you shouldn't ask, Xue Chengzhi didn't say much when he saw this, and said plainly:

"Do you want the old man to get the jade back? When it comes to stealing chickens and dogs, you might be better at it. ”

Wu Wei was a snitch, so he didn't care about this slightly sarcastic remark, took off the treasure knife on his back, and handed it to Xue Chengzhi:

"Xue Laode is highly respected, how could he let you do such a small thing. The two pieces of jade were in the hands of Xu Buling, the prince of King Su, and King Wu meant to ask Xue Lao to use this 'Minghong knife' to exchange the jade back. Xu Buling's status is high and his martial arts are higher, and only Xue Lao can talk to him in Jiangnan. ”

When Xue Chengzhi heard this, his face softened a little, he took the long knife, opened the wrapped black cloth, revealing the simple blade, flicked his fingers, the blade was unsheathed by half an inch, and the cold light in the living room suddenly appeared, and it seemed that even the temperature had dropped a little.

"Good knives."

Xue Chengzhi is a grandmaster-level martial artist, and the name of the Ming Hong Sword has long been heard, and when he saw that it was genuine, his eyes showed a little surprise.

Wu Wei smiled and said respectfully: "It's not a big deal, it's just to trouble Xue Lao to run a way." ”

Xue Chengzhi put away the treasure knife and thought about it a little. It's just a treasure knife to exchange for two jades, it's really not a big deal, since King Wu asked for the door, he can't refuse directly, this face still has to be given, and he nodded lightly at the moment:

"It's okay, the old man has nothing to do recently, just take a trip."

Wu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, he said in a low voice:

"King Wu sent a junior over, and there was a reluctant request, so I had to trouble Xue Lao."

Xue Chengzhi put the knife on the table and looked at Wu Wei: "Say it." ”

Wu Wei pondered a little, and said softly: "Xue Lao also heard that at the Jinling Poetry Conference, Xu Buling killed Yang Yingxiong with his identity. Yang Yingxiong is the brother-in-law of King Wu, and he secretly does things for King Wu, and King Wu is angry about this, but it is not good to punish King Su on the surface......"

When Xue Chengzhi heard this, he snorted lightly: "King Wu wants the old man to help him kill the son of the vassal king?" This can't be done......"

"Definitely."

Wu Wei hurriedly raised his hand: "The jade king Wu is bound to get." If you don't want to hand it over happily, it's naturally the best. If Xu Buling doesn't give Xue Lao face, and refuses to change the jade, he will have to bother Xue Lao to find a way......"

Only then did Xue Chengzhi understand the meaning - it was not to exchange the jade, but to take the jade back, and if he didn't give it, he would threaten and intimidate him until he gave it.

As the saying goes, 'the sword has no eyes', at the level of Wu Kui, once the fight starts, it is not necessary to stop if you want to, Xu Buling is the prince of the vassal king, this matter is obviously not easy to do.

Xue Chengzhi frowned and thought about it, obviously not wanting to disturb this troubled water.

Wu Wei's expression was respectful, and he said seriously: "As long as you get the jade, the rest of the turmoil King Wu will deal with it, and he will greet the local government in Taizhou in the future, and the Liuhemen dart will not be checked again." ”

The terms of this exchange are very convincing, otherwise the palace staff would not have proposed it. There has always been friction between Liuhemen and the government in Taizhou, but they can't openly oppose the government, and most of the time they swallow their anger. If the government no longer cares about the dart of the Liuhe Gate from now on, it will not be a small trouble.

Xue Chengzhi's fingers rubbed lightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded lightly:

"The old man did his best."

Wu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up and saluted......
