The meeting hall was in the middle of the stockade, Zheng Shou took Su Lian to pick up the steps one by one, and a stone wall, mahogany beams and pillars, black eaves and black tiles appeared in front of him, and a courtyard of fifty zhang square was enclosed with a wooden fence outside. After entering the courtyard, a plaque of the council hall was hung on the gate, solemn and solemn.

Entering the conference hall, Su Lian raised his eyes and saw that there were already three people sitting inside. At the top was an old man over half a hundred years old, with gray hair, a scorched face, a few long strands of hair on his lips and under his chin, and his eyes were cloudy but still sharp. Su Lian glanced at his face and eyes, and he had already determined that this person was terminally ill, and he was probably relying on expensive medicine to continue his life. Behind this old man stood a figure who looked like a master, about thirty years old and less than forty, with a polite and gentle manner.

On the left side of the lower head sat a man with an elegant temperament, a ruddy complexion, and a goatee, he looked to be in his forties but in good spirits, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes, a square nose and a face, drinking tea with a teacup, and did not raise his eyes to look at Su Lian, looking steady and profound.

On the right is a rough man with thick eyebrows and round face, strong as a cow, and a beard, as soon as he saw Su Lian come in, he blew his beard and glared, looking bitter and hateful, which made Su Lian secretly feel that he might have offended him.

Zheng Shou stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The big master, the second master, the fourth master, people have been brought!" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Well, Steward Zheng has worked hard, you go down first!" ”

Zheng Shou bowed in agreement, turned around and walked outside, and glanced when he passed by Su Lian, which meant "I'll wait for you outside." Su Lian smiled gratefully.

At this time, the master standing behind the old man said: "This brother in the hall, I will introduce you first", pointed to the old man, and said: "This is the big boss of the village, Guo Rongtai Guo Da master." ”

"Guo Da is a good master, little brother Su Lian, I have seen the big master!" Su Lian clasped his fists and saluted. The old man nodded "um", which was a response.

The master pointed to the left side of the lower head and said, "This is the second master of this village, and Ye Kanglong and Ye are the second master." ”

"In Xia Su Lian, I have seen the second master!" Su Lian saluted again, and the elegant middle-aged man didn't seem to hear it, didn't react, and still drank tea.

The master pointed to the right hand side again and said, "This is the fourth master of the village, and Sun Deya and Sun Si are in charge." ”

"Su Lian has seen the four masters!" Su Lian saluted the reckless man with a big waist and round waist, but the man snorted and turned his head, looking angry. Su Lian didn't know why, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and he smiled as before.

The master said again: "The contemptible money side is the master in the village." ”

Su Lian said in his heart that he was really a master, and said with a smile: "Su Lian has seen Master Qian!" ”

After the introduction of the Qian side, he stood up and kept silent. The old man coughed and asked, "Brother Su, I heard that you are a friend of Ma San and came to find him?" ”

"Back to Guo Da's house, the younger brother of Qizhou is a native of Qizhou, and he got acquainted with Brother Ma in the county government prison......" Su Lian replied calmly, and then told him about his acquaintance with Ma Fei and his rescue.

"So that's ......" Guo Rongtai muttered: "Since Ma San is not here, the old man will believe you, but ......"

The strong man "snorted" again at this time, and muttered: "Who knows if it's true or not, maybe it's to cheat and eat and drink......"

He interrupted Guo Rongtai's words, very impolite, Guo Rongtai also glared at him dissatisfied, but he didn't see it, and he didn't pay attention to it, and then raised his voice and said: "You kid is not very old, but you are not small, and you will hurt people as soon as you come up......"

Su Lian heard him mention this section again, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "There is indeed some misunderstanding in this, but it is true that the little brother accidentally hurt people, and I am willing to make amends to the little brother, and I know a little about medical science, I can also check and treat the little brother and let him ......recover."

Sun Deya's eyes widened again, and he said loudly: "He is strong, and now he is fine, and he still needs to wait for you to come for treatment?" ”

When Su Lian heard that the young man had recovered, his heart was at ease, so he said, "Then I will make amends to him in person!" ”

Sun Deya said loudly again: "There is a bird to make amends, no need for it...... You're ...... today."

"Fourth!" Guo Rongtai really couldn't stand it, he kept shouting loudly and shouting. Su Lian didn't understand why this person kept holding on to himself aggressively, and then remembered that the young man was called Young Master Sun, could it be ...... Is it his son?

After all, Sun Deya wanted to take care of the face of the big boss, and after being stopped by Guo Rongtai, he "hummed" and stopped talking.

"Fourth, don't be ......angry now" Ye Kanglong, the second boss who had not spoken, put down the teacup and said slowly: "How can I say that I am also a friend of the third child, we should give some face, but ......" He turned his head to Guo Rongtai and said: "Big boss, the rules in the village, if there is no one to guaranture, if you want to stay, you must accept the test." Now that the third brother is not here, this brother will either go back first and pick him up when the third brother comes back, otherwise, ......" He picked up the teacup again and kept silent.

Guo Rongtai glanced at him, his face was gloomy, and continued: "Yes, Brother Su, if you want to stay today, you need to pass our examination, if everyone is satisfied and convinced, they will naturally treat you as a guest." ”

"When the younger brother first arrived, he didn't know the rules in the village, and he asked the big boss to make it clear, what kind of test do you need to make?" Su Lian asked modestly.

Guo Rongtai said with a smile: "It's nothing more than a few kung fu kung fu, Brother Su and Ma San know each other, presumably it won't be bad?" ”

Su Lian was a little drumming in his heart, but he still smiled calmly: "The little brother has just arrived, and I really don't have any certainty......" Sun Deya smiled contemptuously again, wanting to open his mouth to make fun of him for being gut, Su Lian continued: "But the little brother can give it a try!" ”

Sun Deya froze, and a smile stopped on his face. Guo Rongtai stroked his beard, smiled, looked very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Okay, since Brother Su is willing to accept the examination, then we will follow the rules...... "As for the candidate for your examination......"

"I think Brother Su is full of confidence, he must be skilled, we can't send some small roles at will, it must be a character who can make Brother Su happy......" Ye Kanglong said at this time, Guo Rongtai stared at him with some dissatisfaction, but he smiled at Sun Deya: "You said yes, fourth?" ”

Sun Deya looked at him, and immediately said: "Yes, so be it, I'll let Deng Shang test his riding skills......"

"Old Fourth ......" Guo Rongtai said gloomily: "Deng Shang's riding skills are one of the best in the village, you sent him to play, is there a little excitement?" ”

What he said is obvious, Su Lian is young and knowledgeable, and he is not an outstanding figure in the world for the first time, so don't embarrass him for the sake of Ma San's face. However, Sun Deya didn't seem to hear it, and still said: "Big boss, Deng Shang has been injured a little recently, this time he just let him go up to warm up, it should be ...... It's not an exaggeration, right? He asked clearly, in fact, he had decided to do so, Guo Rongtai looked at him pretending, and was annoyed in his heart, Deng Shang recently went to the mountains to hunt, and he did scratch a little skin, which is also considered an injury? He snorted lightly and turned to Ye Kanglong.

"Big boss, the more grand the reception we give to Brother Su, the more we look up to him. If you go up to some people casually, but you fall behind, do you think this is the truth? Ye Kanglong said gently, he spoke beautifully, and his tone was not impulsive, which made people not disgusted, but he directly took Guo Rongtai and his army, if you go to a casual person, you will look down on Su Lian.

Guo Rongtai was angry, his face became more and more ugly, and he asked, "Then who are you going to let the second child on?" ”

Ye Kanglong pondered for a while, nodded and said, "I think let Feng Si test Brother Su's skills?" ”

Su Lian didn't know who Feng Si was, but seeing Guo Rongtai's shocked face, he seemed to be a powerful character. Guo Rongtai lowered his head and pondered, but Ye Kanglong continued: "In addition, I think Guo Zheng is suitable...... What do you think of the big boss? ”

Guo Rongtai didn't speak, just lowered his head and closed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes jumped slightly. Although Su Lian has just entered this chamber, he can clearly feel that although Guo Rongtai is a big boss, he obviously lacks prestige, or is it a rat trap, or is Taoguang obscure and can't bear it? In short, he is now completely hollowed out by Ye Kanglong and Sun Deya, and there is no room to speak.

"That's it, but it's late today, let Brother Su rest for one night first, and tomorrow will be at the school for the exam. Let's disperse......" Guo Rongtai closed his eyes and sighed, as if he was a little tired, got up after speaking, and retreated to the back hall without looking back. Su Lian noticed that he was walking with a cane, but he was still walking a little shaky.

Sun Deya smiled at Ye Kanglong, got up and walked out of the meeting hall, Su Lian clasped his fist at him and saluted, he ignored it and walked straight away. Su Lian hugged his fist to Ye Kanglong again and said, "Then, the second master...... The little brother will retire first! Ye Kanglong sat still, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and the old monk was settled, and he didn't pay attention to Su Lian.

Although Su Lian felt slightly strange, he didn't care, smiled bitterly, and withdrew by himself.

Cheng Mo waited at the door of the conference hall, saw Su Lian come out, and silently followed behind.

The two of them hadn't walked a few steps when suddenly there was a thunderclap, which startled Su Lian to turn around and find that the thunder was coming from the west. As soon as he turned around, there was a burst of lightning in the direction of the west mountain, and immediately another explosion of thunder, and the "boom" echoed non-stop.

Su Lian looked at it again, but he was stunned for a while. After the lightning, a rainbow actually appeared on the west mountain, and it was a double-layered rainbow, enveloping the entire west mountain. At this time, it was close to the middle of the afternoon, the sunset was sinking, the west was full of colorful clouds, the rainbow was hidden in the colorful glow, and the double layer of gorgeous cover the blue-green mountain top, such a strange scene, which surprised him and forgot to move his steps.
