It's still the season when the flowers are in full bloom.

At noon on the eighth day of the first month of April, the capital city is opened, and the condensation garden of Xiangwangfu is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively.

This group of guests seems to be peddlers, pawns, palanquin eaters, but in fact, they are reckless heroes from all over the world who came to the tomb of Zhao Tuo, the king of Xiang, of course, this refers to the guests who are standing; And sitting around the eighteen round tables are the heads of the famous sects, the great sects of the Demon Dao or the patriarchs of the hidden wealthy clans, some of them are still dressed as ordinary people, and some of them have already revealed their identities, and they are dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, which are quite extravagant.

On the side of the courtyard wall at the southernmost end of the Condensation Garden, there is a stout willow tree, and under the willow tree is the table at the end of the eighteen round tables, which is also where the "Ten People of Huanxi" are located.

Wang Zhihuan glanced at the stunning girl who was talking and laughing with Ren Xiaotian at another round table not far away, frowned slightly, took a sip of wine, and snorted angrily.

This stunning girl is naturally Wan Linglong, who originally belonged to the "Huanxi Table", and in the past two days, she has a new name that moves the rivers and lakes - the twin demons of the rivers and lakes - the Ten Thousand Fire Demons.

Wan Linglong's "mutiny" is absolutely intolerable to the unwitting Qingcheng Four. Feng Zhili saw that the senior brother was so unhappy, and immediately said: "Lord Li did not hesitate to offend the Imperial City Army, and the Eastern Sect Master was seriously injured for her, but she was so ungrateful, and the Western Liao barbarians are really hateful!" He slammed his fist on the table in anger, causing the glass to buzz.

"Eh......" Zheng Zhiru waved his hand and persuaded in a low voice: "Men love women, human nature, how can it be measured with common sense?" As he spoke, he glanced at Xun Mengqi, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and glanced at Feng Zhili, signaling that he could not say more.

But Feng Zhili didn't seem to understand what the second senior brother meant, he clenched his fists tightly, and cursed Wan Linglong in his mouth, and the people who listened were upset. But fortunately, under Xue Zhigong's desperate blink, he finally understood the meaning of the second senior brother, and stopped the "insult" to Wan Linglong before Xun Mengqi was about to go berserk.

At this time, Xun Mengqi's face was still a little pale, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at everyone present, and said lightly: "If you want to leave, you can't stay, let her go, her going and staying alone will not affect the overall situation." ”

"Ahem...... Yan Yunfei clutched his chest and coughed twice, and said: "Ten or eleven, the difference is not so big, when the time comes, it will not rely on the strength of one person to go to the tomb." ”

"That's it!" Yun Conglong echoed, lifted the wine jug, raised his head and swallowed a large sip of cold wine, wiped his mouth and said: "She is gone, and there are many brothers such as the Yellow River Gang, the Tianhe Gang, and Baihuamen, hehe...... The Sprinkler family thinks this is a sure-fire deal! ”

Li Jintian smiled bitterly, glanced at Zhang Shuilong behind Xun Mengqi, and said in his heart that sometimes it is not necessarily "more people have great power"! It's just that Wan Linglong's departure is a foregone conclusion, and it may not be bad to have more people, at least someone has done the drudgery of going to thunder.

With the addition of Zhang Shuilong's six people and the spread of the fierce name of the Oriental Demon, Xun Mengqi's status among the ten people in Huanxi has also risen, and he gradually has some majesty and the right to speak.

The round table fell silent again, Xun Mengqi began to close his eyes again, before closing his eyes, the corner of his eyes still "accidentally" swept to Wan Linglong, and he was a little depressed in his heart, until now he didn't understand where he provoked this eccentric girl, so that he threw himself into Ren Xiaotian's arms, and he felt quite sad when he recalled that night.

……

That night, the moment she saw Geng Laosan, she had already begun to plan how to kill him, not only to let Tianhe help Liu Ah lead the people to surrender, but also to avenge Wan Linglong. Therefore, he deliberately walked up to Wan Linglong to ask him how he was doing, but in fact, he was close to Geng Laosan behind Gagu, and he sneaked up without the slightest defense from everyone, and succeeded in one fell swoop!

His plan worked, everyone thought that his bloody battle to ascend the pavilion had run out of oil, who would have thought that he would have to kill in front of everyone, such a close distance, although Gagu blocked the three flying needles in his right hand, but the other three "dark lines" in the left hand have been deeply submerged into the center of Geng Laosan's Yin Hall, this move is his new comprehension in the battle of the Ascending Pavilion, called "Broken Leaves", the right hand "with the wind" swaying, in fact, it is for the left hand of the "Broken Leaf"!

This move exhausted his last strength, and the moment he saw Geng Laosan die instantly, he also fell to the ground unconscious. Gagu was furious and wanted to take revenge on him, Yan Yunfei and Li Jintian naturally couldn't do what he wanted, and Ji Ruo was watching from the side, and the three parties were entangled for a long time, until the minions outside the door urgently reported that the Imperial City Army was about to arrive at Wangjing Tower, and then they dispersed.

After that, I woke up to the eighth day of April.

……

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, instead of having a bad heart, it's better to part ways and settle your destiny, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is the first time to give affection to a friend, but what you get is "betrayal", which inevitably makes Xun Mengqi feel a little uncomfortable.

Gossip aside, and in a short time, the Condensation Garden finally ushered in its owner. A cry of "King Xiang has arrived!" "More than a dozen people poured in front of the gate of the main garden, all dressed as military attachés, a handsome man who was surrounded in the center, dressed in brown silk satin, wearing a green jade hair crown, and carrying a steel long sword at his waist, elegant and solemn, with a hint of atmosphere in his majesty, who else could it be if it was not King Xiang Zhao Tuo?

For such princes and nobles, the people of the rivers and lakes have never been waiting to see them, nor have they greeted them, squinting their eyes one by one and looking at Zhao Tuo carefully, of course, there are also patriarchs of wealthy families who are close to them, which is needless to mention. After some greetings, Zhao Tuo stood in the center of the garden, waved his hand and waited for everyone to be quiet, and said loudly with a smile: "Thank you heroes for being invited, this king has also heard that during this period of time, the city has gone crazy 'Thirteen Tombs to Seize Treasure', which this king does not dare to disagree, and the tomb is not to win the treasure, but to let the treasure appear again and shine in the world." The king promised that this tomb would not involve a scramble, because if there is a fight, there will be a disaster of blood and light, and this king is a person who is extremely disgusted with fighting, so he ......"

Xun Mengqi couldn't listen to it anymore when she heard this, so she pursed her lips and said to Li Jintian: "He is also a master of official words." ”

Li Jintian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's understandable that officialdom can't help itself. When he said this, he turned around and asked: "Zhao Tuo is also a tricky opponent for this treasure grab, according to the Eastern Sect Master, is there a master around him who is worthy of our attention?" ”

Hearing this, Xun Mengqi paused slightly, and understood in his heart that Li Jintian was testing his strength, although it was a well-intentioned temptation, he was still quite resistant, so he squinted and replied: "One with long hair, one with short hair, and the two behind him, these four people are worth being careful." ”

"Heroes see the same thing!" Li Jintian stroked his palm and chuckled, but Yan Yunfei shook his head and said: "These four people are just his entourage, there should be more powerful masters guarding the shadows, and that is the person we should be careful of." ”

"I'm afraid of him!" Yun Conglong shouted in a thick voice, and said nonchalantly: "If you are in the way of the house, come and kill one by one, and kill two and a pair!" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Yan Yunfei suddenly coughed twice, Yin Baizhan beside him hurriedly served tea, Yan Yunfei waved his hand and frowned: "That's what I said, but it's better to be careful!" After all, there are so many rivers and lakes, and there are many masters, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon......"

"yes!" Yan Yunfei didn't finish his sentence, but he was interrupted by Xiao Silent beside him, only to see him staring viciously at the person surrounding Zhao Tuo, gritting his teeth and saying, "Xie Qixian, as I said before, he is finally here!" ”

Hearing this, everyone followed his gaze and looked around, the people around Zhao Tuo who nodded and bowed were not only the beggar gang Purifying Clothes Sect Xie Qixian, but also a young general wearing heavy armor, as if he had just returned from military training in the barracks, that scene was really a little out of tune.

"Rodin!" Li Jintian shook his teeth, his fists clenched deeply!

"Your sworn enemy in the court?" Yan Yunfei asked suspiciously.

"That's right! It's him! In the martial arts test back then, he was Tanhua, and I was the champion, because of different political opinions, I was against someone everywhere when I was an official in the court, which really annoyed someone. Li Jintian explained.

At this time, Zhao Tuo was still talking about some scenes, and many people at the eighteen tables got up to echo him, and they happened to be seen by the people at the table in Huanxi, Yin Baizhan pointed to the table of the Shifting Flower Palace, and said to Yan Yunfei: "Master, look, there is a man!" ”

Men are not unusual, but the men who appear in the Shifting Flower Palace are too unusual. Everyone suspected that it was a certain master who was co-opted by Ji Ruo, but looking at his trembling appearance standing respectfully behind Lily, it didn't look like an alliance of the Flower Shifting Palace. Xun Mengqi was also curious, with a small gesture, Chu Xiang immediately came over with his ear, Xun Mengqi whispered a few words, and asked him to inquire about the identity of the man, Chu Xiang ordered Zhang Shuilong to give a few people according to his instructions, but saw Jia Banxian take two steps forward and explained to everyone: "I know that kid, it is Zhou Xiaoer from the Nafulai Inn, he has no ability, and he is honest." ”

"Are you sure?" Xun Mengqi turned his head and squinted and asked.

"Ahem...... Jia Banxian didn't seem to have forgotten the murderous appearance of Xun Mengqi's six gang leaders that night, and replied quite cautiously: "Subordinate...... OK...... Because his wife lives in the east of the city, it is familiar ......" Jia Banxian said this, and hurriedly changed his words: "If it is easy to disguise, then it is not." ”

Xun Mengqi waved his hand after hearing this, Jia Banxian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and respectfully stepped aside, a few people were still waiting to discuss the topic of the appearance of men in the Shifting Flower Palace, but they heard Zhao Tuo clear his throat and said to everyone: "Without further ado, the rank will leave with Zhao tonight and go down to the tomb to hunt for treasures together, now there is nothing to do, you can watch it in the mansion at will, but there is one point, the back garden is a forbidden place in the palace, and everyone is a good man with a head and a face, don't break in at will, and ruin the reputation of the sect." ”

Zhao Tuo said, under the escort of the military attaché, he took his leave, and the heroes of Ninglu Garden dispersed in twos and threes, only some of the guests at the eighteen tables were still discussing something in a low voice, among which of course there was also a table in Huanxi.

Most of the people who stay here are to prepare for the tomb, first, the opponents who need to be careful and wary; The second is Zhao Tuo's ultimate goal. These are all up for debate, of course, there is Li Jintian to summarize, others to add.

Li Jintian glanced at the guests left behind at the eighteen tables, and said to the others: "Personally, I think there are a few that need to be paid attention to, the first is the Alliance of the Blood Knife Gate, the Demon God Palace, and Wan Linglong, let's call it the Marriage Alliance for the time being; The second is the Xiangwang faction, needless to say; The third is the ......" Li Jintian said and pointed to an old fortune teller at the front table, smiled and said to Yan Yunfei: "I am walking with Sect Master Yan, I heard that business is very prosperous in the area of the city gate, and it can be called a fortune teller for the time being......"

Li Jintian paused and continued: "The fourth is the Shifting Flower Palace; the fifth is the bureaucrats who are close to King Xiang, the dog-legged Luo Dan and Xie Qixian; The sixth is the various sects hidden around the city gate, and there is a stall that is known at present, which should be the goldsmith gate Tie Yingxia, and there is also a shopkeeper who bought a street business, and his name is not known for the time being, we can call it the city gate faction. That's all for now. As for the reason why Zhao Tuo led us to the tomb, I can't figure it out for the time being, I don't know what you think? It won't be to catch us all, will it? ”

When Xun Mengqi heard this, he was about to express his thoughts, but when he saw Yan Yunfei get up, he smiled indifferently and said chicly: "What do you want to do so much, he King Xiang must have a ghost in his heart, but we can't guess his purpose, since we can't guess it, then don't bother with that brain, this is a good time, why not take a good tour, after all, Xiangwang Mansion, don't you want to see the stunning Princess Xiang in the capital?" ”

Yan Yunfei took Yin Baizhan's hand and left the table laughing, and several other people looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and pointed to Yan Yunfei's back and complained: This Yan Sect Master, he is really a sick man!
