Chapter 293: Heroes Conference (9)
The influence of the Heroes Club has spread rapidly in Luoyang City with the intensity of the competition, and the whole of Luoyang is enthusiastically talking about the victory and defeat of the competition, talking about the latest force rankings, this kind of ranking gossip has been the most talked about topic by ordinary people since ancient times.
Although there is still one day to finally decide the rankings, many people have impatiently thrown out one ranking version after another, Luoyang is arguing and spitting, and those once glorious imperial examination scholars can only sit in the corner and drink in solitude at this time, they have long been left behind by the imperial court and the people of Luoyang.
In the several halls of the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, there is still a lot of noise and noise, and there is no peace for a moment, but almost everyone is talking about one topic, how to rank the heroes of the world?
"The top ten generals have all been listed separately, what questions do you have about the rankings?"
A bald middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves and glared at several companions and shouted: "The first is definitely the black-faced thunder god Li Xuanba, his sledgehammer is recognized, the second must be the Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu, no one will have any objections, and the third is the white horse silver hammer general Pei Yuanqing"
"Stop! Stop! ”
Several companions next to him shouted together: "The third has objections, Pei Yuanqing should be ranked fourth, and the third is Zhang Xuan, the Heavenly Halberd God General, we all think so." ”
"Pei Yuanqing's sledgehammer is ten catties heavier than Zhang Xuan's halberd, he should be third!"
"The Heavenly Halberd is several times longer than the Silver Hammer! You can't just look at the weight of the weapon, you should look at the strength of the martial arts. ”
Almost all the debate is above the top 10 rankings, and there are currently seven or eight ranking versions circulating in the streets of Luoyang, with some people believing that Zhang Xutuo should be ranked fifth, Yujuluo should be ranked eighth, and Qu Tutong should also be ranked in the top 20, although they did not participate in the Hero Club competition.
But there are also those who refute it. Thinking that they are the top ten fierce generals of the previous generation and should not participate in the new ranking, there are those who are in favor and those who are against, and one by one they are arguing like cockfighting, and they are tense for a while. Don't buy each other.
In an elegant room on the fourth floor of the Tiansi Pavilion Wine Shop, more than a dozen generals were gathering together to drink and celebrate, in addition to Zhang Xuan and other seven people, Luo Cheng and Su Dingfang were also invited, and four or five Youzhou generals such as Zhang Gongjin and Shi Danai also came to drink together.
Today, not only did Wei Chigong defeat Hou Junji and enter tomorrow's decisive battle, but Qin Qiong also lost two generals in a row and broke into tomorrow's decisive battle, so that except for You Junda and Qin Yong, the other five of the Flying Eagle Seven Generals entered the top forty. There are even three others who may enter the top 10 and become the most eye-catching focus in Luoyang.
Luo Cheng took a breath and smiled mysteriously at everyone: "I heard that the top ten generals will not be able to compete in the first round of martial arts tomorrow morning, and they will directly participate in the afternoon competition." ”
"That's a bit wrong!"
Luo Shixin was quick to speak, and said first: "Won't the ten generals be stable in the top twenty?" That's not fair! ”
Luo Shixin was indignant, he seemed to have completely forgotten that he was also one of the ten generals, Qin Qiong also frowned and said, "Young Master Luo, is your news accurate?" ”
"It should be accurate. It was just decided this afternoon, but if there are too many opponents. Maybe it will be canceled too. ”
Su Dingfang said with a smile: "Actually, it's not good, the good thing is that you don't have to worry about running into Li Xuanba and Yuwen Chengdu, and the bad thing is that the number of places has decreased, and thirty people are competing for ten places, which is going to be a river of blood, but the news I got is a little different." ”
Su Dingfang is the grandson of Xiangguo Su Wei. Living in Xiangguo's Mansion again, his news must be more convincing, and everyone said: "Su Gongzi talk about it!" ”
"What Luo Gongzi said just now is indeed like this, it is the proposal of Zhao Cai, the general of the Right Waiting Guard, but there are many opponents. Wei Shangshu proposed a compromise plan, the ten generals will also participate in the lottery competition tomorrow, but the ten generals should be avoided, so that Li Xuanba will not meet Yuwen Chengdu in advance, which plan to use, should be finally decided tomorrow morning. ”
At this time, You Junda came back from the toilet, and Zhang Xuan saw that his expression was different, so he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
You Junda hesitated and said, "I just heard a news that the Holy Lord may be closing the net tomorrow, and all the bandits who come to participate in the Hero Club will be wiped out." ”
The news was so shocking that everyone was stunned, and Zhang Xuan asked urgently, "Who did you listen to?" ”
"It's all talking about it out there right now, and it's like it pops out of nowhere."
Luo Shixin pulled Qin Yong, and the two ran out, only for a moment, ran back and said: "It seems to be true, many people are checking out and leaving, ready to leave Luoyang." ”
Zhang Xuan looked back at Su Dingfang, and seeing that he was silent, Zhang Xuan asked, "Master Su, is this news true?" ”
Su Dingfang sighed and said: "The news is true, but this news is very secret, only a few important ministers know, I am very strange, how can the news spread?" Who exactly leaked this secret? ”
"Do you want to do it early tomorrow morning?" Zhang Xuan asked again.
"Not really, the original intention of the saint is to hold a hero meeting first, and then forcibly recruit An, and all bandits who refuse to accept Zhao'an will be arrested."
Luo Shixin couldn't help but said angrily: "Obviously, it is written in the notice of the world that those who participated in the Heroes Meeting are not guilty in the past, and now they have changed their hexagrams to be arrested, this kind of emperor is like a fart, who would dare to believe him?" ”
"Shixin!"
Qin Qiong scolded him angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
Luo Shixin sat down hatefully, poured himself a bowl of wine, and sat alone in the corner drinking wine, Zhang Xuan saw that the atmosphere of drinking was bad, so he said to everyone: "This news has nothing to do with us for the time being, we don't have to worry about it, everyone go back today and rest early, recuperate enough to participate in tomorrow's decisive battle, I hope everyone can get good results tomorrow." ”
Everyone settled the account and went back, but Zhang Xuan stared at You Junda, he felt that there was something wrong with You Junda, something must have happened.
At this time, it was not time to close the fang gate and the city gate, You Junda did not go back with everyone, and found an excuse to stay, but he did not see Zhang Xuan return, and went directly to the third floor, Zhang Xuan followed You Junda from a distance, and saw that he flashed into the innermost room, and there were two big men standing at the door, with their hands on their chests, and no one was allowed to approach the room.
These two big men Zhang Xuan have seen, on the way to Beijing, the two big men followed Shan Xiongxin, who should be Shan Xiongxin's personal soldiers, Zhang Xuan seemed to understand something, he sighed secretly, walked outside the wine shop, and sat down on the steps of the gate.
Zhang Xuan didn't expect You Junda to take this step, he was both sad and very sorry, but he had nothing to say.
At this time, You Junda hurriedly walked out of the wine shop, he still didn't notice Zhang Xuan, and passed by him, Zhang Xuan stood up and shouted: "Junda! ”
You Junda turned around and saw Zhang Xuan, he was stunned for a moment, "Why hasn't Yuan Ding gone back yet?" ”
Zhang Xuan stepped forward slowly, "I saw it on the third floor just now, you are going to see Shan Xiongxin, right!" ”
You Junda's face changed, he restrained the tension in his heart, and reluctantly nodded: "He and I used to be sworn brothers, and they are going to leave the capital overnight tonight, so they came to say goodbye to me." ”
Zhang Xuan didn't ask any more, he asked the bartender to lead the horse, the two turned over and got on the horse and walked slowly, the two of them had their own thoughts, they didn't speak, seeing that they were about to go to Zhang Xutuo's mansion, Zhang Xuan finally broke the silence, "Is Junda also going to Wagang?" ”
You Junda already understood that Zhang Xuan had seen through him, and he no longer hid it, and nodded silently.
"And what about your wife and children?" Zhang Xuan asked again.
You Junda sighed and said, "My wife and children should already be on their way to Wagang by now." ”
has reached this point, Zhang Xuan knew that it was impossible to recover, so he had to sincerely say to You Junda: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force it, I just hope that one day, we can still be together." ”
The corners of You Junda's eyes were a little moist, he looked up at the sky and said: "I know that my brother is also a person with great ambitions, if there is really that day, I will come to you, the only thing I You Junda can afford in the Flying Eagle Army is you, brother." ”
Jang Hyun nodded and asked, "When does Junda plan to leave?" ”
"You shouldn't be able to see me tomorrow."
"That's good! Please take care all the way. ”
"Thank you, remember what I told you that night, Yuan Ding, officialdom is dangerous, you have to be careful step by step."
Zhang Xuan watched You Junda enter the mansion, he knew that You Junda was just going to pack his things, and Shan Xiongxin was still waiting for him to leave together.
He also believes that You Junda has experienced repeated considerations, not impulsively, and it can be said that it was because Zhang Xutuo was transferred away that He Junda's departure was finally promoted.
But You Junda is only the first, and the next one should be Fei Qingnu, and the consequences of Zhang Xutuo's transfer finally began to be reflected
