(Stop the clouds and mist, the rain is misty, the eight tables are the same dusk, the flat land becomes the river, there is wine and wine, drink the east window, and I am willing to say that I am nostalgic and the boat and car are obedient)

The young man claimed to be named Yi Yi,—— this surname is rare, Yi and Yi have the same sound, and Shen Fang doesn't know what his relationship is with Huaishang Yi Cup of wine. I saw that although he was polite to people, Du Huaishan and Jiao Siyin seemed to respect him. As soon as he came out of the Drunken Yan Pavilion, he summoned an old coachman and asked him to send Zhu Yan back to the inn first. Maybe it was because of the calmness in his tone that Zhu Yan believed in him even though he met him. Only then did the young man return to the inn where Jiao Siyin and the others collapsed with Du Huaishan, Shen Fang, and Sanniang.

The young man first met Wang Mu and Monk Jin, and his words were few, but his attitude was pleasant, which made people unconsciously feel like a spring breeze. The current dart cart in Du Huaishan's hand is far less prosperous than in Qin Wen's hands before crossing the river, there are only two, but they are more valuable. One was loaded with gold and jewelry sent by Luo Han, and the other was the silver sheath they collected along the road, totaling tens of thousands of taels. Jiao Siyin knew that he was going to settle here, so he rented a cross-courtyard. The door is guarded by the men of the dart shop, and no idle people are allowed to enter. Wang Mu and Monk Jin led everyone to unload the goods in the car into the house. Shen Fang and Sanniang were also watching from the side. Shen Fang has always thought that the characters of the green forest, the reckless heroes are all characters who eat wine in big bowls, eat meat in large pieces, and divide gold in large scales. The young man seemed to have heard Du Huaishan talk about what kind of person Shen Fang was. At this time, he handed Shen Fang a pen and paper abacus, and said with a smile: "I'm tired." ”

Although Shen Fang is a famous person in Zhenjiang, as Sanniang said, he has always paid attention to the study of the military revolution in Qiangu, which is far different from the general Confucianism. - because he knows in his heart that no matter how vigorous the event is, its way of survival and the foundation of the game are inseparable from it. He doesn't care much about the details of the family, but when it comes to calculating beads and accounting transactions, he is more meticulous than ordinary people. At the moment, he did not shirk, with him, a famous hand in Jiangnan, on his side, a delivery list was listed in detail and slightly, and it was extremely refreshing. The red gold, jewelry, and silver sheaths are each in a column, and even the fineness is clearly marked.

It took an hour to finish the inventory. The young man was not happy, but there seemed to be a mixture of sorrow in his eyes, and at last he asked, "How much is the total amount of silver worth when converted?" ”

Shen Fang had already finished the conversion and replied: "If you calculate it at the market price, it will always be worth more than 300,000 taels - this even counts the fineness of the gold." However, the price of jewelry is difficult to estimate in detail, and it will be subject to the time of sale. If you exchange it well, you may be able to exchange it for thirty-two or thirty-ten thousand taels. ”

The boy lowered his head, frowned, and began to calculate.

Du Huaishan asked on the side, "Not enough?" ”

The young man sighed: "I still have a number of nearly 100,000 in my hand, and I don't know how much I owe it, but when I finally calculate it, there is always a number of four or five hundred thousand taels, so I am afraid that there is still a gap of 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver." Alas, after thousands of calculations, I didn't expect that the old hero Qu, the old master of Liuhemen, would pass away at this time. He slapped his palm lightly: "It's really a day for a holiday, God doesn't bless me!" ”

Du Huaishan also sighed and said: "Actually, as long as he doesn't go there, as long as Gongzi doesn't go, I'm afraid that no one will know about this account between you and him." ”

The young man's eyebrows furrowed, and although his face was faint, he showed a heroic spirit: "He and I have forgotten the years, and over the years, he has borne enough responsibilities on my behalf." Now that he has passed away, there is no successor, and the family affairs are scattered, how can I not go. No matter how difficult it is, I should also sort him out on his behalf, so that he can walk with peace of mind. ”

Du Huaishan knew that his character was like this, and it was difficult to persuade him. But listening to the young man's tone, he said lightly: "Mr. Yi said: This silver can be received, it is really a matter of labor." Needless to say, there is something else to do, but there is something important at the moment. He just set 300,000 catties of grain and grass in Chaohu, stopped in Feixi Town, and asked Du Lao to take two people to rush to Liangxing, Henan, where he was in an emergency, more than 3,000 people, has run out of food, this trip, how can it be supported for three or four months. In addition, please ask Jiao Lao to bring the young men from the Lin'an Dart Bureau and Monk Jin to Huaishang, which is also quite tight, and the manpower cannot be dispatched. ”

His words were light, but he said that there was a convincing majesty, Du Huaishan seemed to be unable to refuse, and said, "What about the son?" ”

Yi Yi said: "Brother Shen and I-" He smiled sideways at Shen Fang and Sanniang, showing a slight apology, and Jing Nuxia will rush to Lu'an Mansion early tomorrow morning, I will take the car with me, and I will ask Brother Shen and his wife for help with other important matters. He was kind, and seemed to be uneasy about deciding other people's schedules like this, so he turned his face and smiled at Shen Fang and his wife: "Xiao Ke is abrupt, don't blame the virtuous couple, if there is nothing important, how about inviting him to go along?" ”

Shen Fang saw that Du Huaishan was so respectful to him, and knew that he must have a deep meaning when he walked with him, so he glanced at Sanniang and responded: "Where did Gongzi say, the people of my wife who were in distress have taken refuge in Gongzi and have to go with them, which is a blessing for my husband and wife." ”

Yi Yi said with a smile: "In this world, with the knowledge of Brother Shen and his wife, it is strange that they are not in trouble. And Huaishang's help from Brother Shen is really a great blessing. ”

He said this quite sincerely, and when he said it, he looked directly at Shen Fang, Shen Fang was also the first time to see someone looking at himself so frankly, and he couldn't help but look at the Yi Yan, but he saw that his eyes were like Xiaoxue Chen's eyes, he had never noticed the appearance of this young man, at this time, he still couldn't look at it carefully, but he felt that kind of peerless talent, turbidity and solitary bearing was something he had never seen in his life. Somehow, Yi's restrained tone is also modest, but every sentence has a certain flavor. Shen Fang and Sanniang wandered all the way, and they didn't know where to settle, although Du Huaishan agreed to join Huaishang to work together, but it was not like this young man's invitation to make people feel at ease. Shen Fang looked sideways at Sanniang, there was a feeling that he was finally settled: this life was stable and his career had been determined, although he knew that his life after that might not be bitter, not necessarily thrilling, but the husband could follow what he was happy to do, and he could do what he was happy about.

Sanniang knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but gently hold his hand.

But he heard Du Huaishan say: "It's just that there is a shortage of people around the son, so there is no one left to answer the summons?" Leave Wang Mu behind, although the kid doesn't like to talk, but he is steady and deserves to be of great use. ”

Yi Ji smiled and said: "He is a person who does big things, how can he bend to me to do these trivial things." With him, although Monk Jin and those young men from the Lin'an Dart Bureau have just arrived, you and Jiao Lao will be relieved. It's not a big deal for me to go to Lu'an Mansion, one person is enough, and there are Brother Shen and his wife. Why should you worry – not necessarily, am I so uneasy now? ”

His last sentence was a joke, but Du Huaishan only barely squeezed out a smile on his face when he heard it. Shen Fang can also understand his worries, this dart car, from Fujian, to Shucheng in southern Anhui, I don't know how many bloody storms have been passed along the way, and how many people have died for it. Geng Canghuaizhi was chased and killed by Ti Cai, Qin Wenzhi endured humiliation and protected goods, and Yuan Laoer's name was defeated and disabled, all of which had something to do with this, but he said lightly that it was not a big deal, and he really wanted to go to Lu'an Mansion with himself and Sanniang alone. Shen Fang glanced at Du Huaishan, only to hear Yi Yi and said, "Alas, Du Lao, I have worked hard for you along the way." You'd better rest, tomorrow morning, you're going to Feixi again. Alas, at such an age, it is useless for us young people to work hard and still work hard for you. You don't have to worry about me, I still want to talk to Brother Shen for a while. ”

Du Huaishan retreated, although he was worried about Yi Ji in his heart, he was still a lot more settled. Somehow, every time he saw that young man, his heart would be so quiet for a long time, turbid and turbid, flowing countless times, but as long as he saw his eyes, Du Huaishan felt as if he could live calmly and dignified for a period of time again.

Early the next morning, Shen Fang, Sanniang and Yi Yi Ji went on the road with two cars. The coachman is still a person summoned by Du Huaishan, and it seems that he is also a figure in the rebel army. When they parted, Shen Fangjue felt that although everyone didn't say anything, whether it was Du, Jiao Erlao, or Wang Mu and Monk Jin, they all had a lot of attachment to the young man. They were all men, and the young man's expression was fixed, so everyone didn't show it on their faces. Shen Fang was thinking all the way: What kind of person is this Yi Ji, Monk Jin didn't know him, he wanted to come to Wang Mu and tell him what he said last night, so he would put on this expression today.

Shen Fang, Du, Jiao Erlao and Monk Jin also had their own feelings of farewell. Turbulent encounters, in the same boat, once and suddenly there are traces, each has a place, when the situation, can you not feel nostalgic? But everyone couldn't say anything, or Jiao Siyin said: "Take care, get together in Huaishang." ”

This sentence seemed to speak everyone's heart, and more than 20 people stretched out their hands, stacked them together, slapped them hard, and then dispersed. Sanniang watched from the sidelines, did not join, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth: she once again had the feeling of finally seeing a group of men in her heart. It's a good feeling, as a woman, she has always had too much to bear and is too tired to live. At this time, she turned around, but saw that Yi Ji was not in that circle, and had already gotten into the car first. She glanced at his figure in the car and realized that he was lonely.

The cart with the gold was too full, and the three of them sat in the cart with the silver sheath. The car was replaced by the young man's own car, which was commonly used, and the structure was very reasonable, and the silver was placed at the bottom of the car, so the carriage was empty. It's simple, but it's comfortable. Shen Fang didn't talk to the young man for a long time yesterday, mainly because Yi Yi asked him for advice on the problem of ledger accounting, and it seemed that Huaishang really lacked talents in this area.

At this time, Shen Fang suddenly thought of another question and asked Yi Yi: "I remember that the envoys of the Jin Dynasty have always been arrogant and give what they want, why was that Boyan so obediently scared away by Du Lao's words yesterday?" ”

Yi Yi said with a smile: "That sentence is an incision of the Huaishang Righteous Army, and I am afraid that many people will know about the land of Huaishang." The Jin envoy may be more arrogant in Jiangnan, because he is protected by Zhao Guan's family, but he has always been more restrained in Jiangbei. A few times before, Boyan also sent envoys, and he was arrogant all the way, harming the people and doing countless bad things. The Huaishang rebels were resentful, because they did not want to start a war with the Jin Dynasty, disturbed the suffering of the people, and it was inconvenient to kill him, so he let him on the way from Shangqiu to Anqing on the way to the previous mission, and received a total of thirteen warnings with a knife, and the last one even stayed next to his pillow, and Na Boyan knew that he was afraid. Then in Anqing, it was Gu Yu, the character of the "third watch" in the "Ten Years and Five Watches", who came forward, met Boyan once, and asked him: "If you want to take your head, how many times should you have died?" ’”

Na Boyan's face was ashen and he couldn't answer, Gu Yu laughed a few times, and cut off the hair of one of his interpreters, and since then he has been much more restrained in Huaishang and Jiangbei when he goes out again.

Shen Fang listened to it with joy in his heart, and also felt that the land fruit of Huaishang was different from Jiangnan, and there were many real heroes and good men, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't that whoever reads such a sentence can scare the Jin people?" Haha - 'Ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes', this has become a spell, and the sentence refers to the 'ten years' and 'five watches' that Yi Gongzi said? ”

Yi Yi smiled silently, and the third lady saw that her husband was too naïve about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so she couldn't help laughing: "There is still that little flag, that is a proof." Do you think anyone who reads those two sentences will believe it? Besides, does anyone who says that sentence have the momentum in Du Huai's mountain pass? ”

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with the car all the way, and Shen Fang also felt slightly strange. This trip can be said to have never been so calm since it left Fujian. Even when they arrived in Jiangbei, they were transported from Chuzhou to Shucheng in the hands of Du and Jiao, although there were no accidents, but everyone's caution as if they were on the edge of the abyss and walking on thin ice still made Shen Fang remember it vividly. At the beginning of the road, he had been worried, seeing that Yi was so calm, he gradually forgot about it, and when he was eating on the road, he and Sanniang laughed privately: "That Yi brother knows the qin music well, is gentle and elegant, and thinks that he is the same as me, he is a polite gentleman and does not know any kung fu." This dart is so big, Jing Woman is heroic, and now the two of us plus this car of darts will all depend on Jing Woman. ”

Jing Sanniang was also puzzled in her heart, but she was amused by Shen Fang on her face, and deliberately replied with a straight face: "Praise, praise, easy to say, easy to say." ”

Not to mention the jokes of his wife - on the fourth day, the car traveled to Lu'an City. Lu'an is an old city, originally quite large, but unfortunately it was plagued by military disasters at that time, and many of the damaged parts of the city wall left in the war are only barely repaired. The third lady had been here when she walked the rivers and lakes, and she had a memory, so she said to Shen Fang: "In addition to the leaves that are famous in this Lu'an City, there is also a 'Liuhe Gate', which is very famous in the rivers and lakes, and it is the first common sect in the north of the Yangtze River. Back then, Qu Bailing, the old man Qu Bailing, fought all over the country with a Liuhe fist and a Liuhe gun, and rarely met opponents. Speaking of which, he is a sect master, more than a step higher than Du Huaishan and Jiao Siyin. ”

Shen Fang knew that she had seen and heard a lot, and deliberately quipped: "Liuhe, which Liuhe is it?" Frowning, he raised his fingers and counted carefully: "But the king and the minister, the father and the son, the husband and the wife?" ”

When Sanniang saw his appearance, she knew that he was joking, and when she heard him say 'husband and wife', she still couldn't help but blush, and said with a smile: "My Mr. Morality, that Liuhe refers to 'harmony between heart and mind, harmony between form and spirit, harmony between essence and qi', this is the only way to do Liuhemen, what are you talking nonsense, do you think you are still taking the examination of the country's eunuch?" ”

Shen Fang said with a smile: "Oh, I see, who doesn't know this, it's a secret." ”

Sanniang smiled: "There is also its twist in it." Everyone knows the truth, but when it comes to experience and how to use it, it is knowledge, and it is not enough to be a person. ”

The two were laughing, and Yi Hui, who went out to explore the situation, came back, but he didn't say anything. Just to instruct the coachman where to go. For a while, the car headed north of the city. The north of the city is a place where the ancient wood is located, and the car walks and walks, only to see the window gradually becoming desolate. From here, you can look at the green hills in the north of the city, and it is really 'the vast ancient trees and poor alleys, and the few cold mountains are empty'. Shen Fang and Sanniang felt a chill on their bodies unconsciously.

The car was parked in an alley, there was only one in the alley, and the door was not opened for a long time, and finally he stretched out his hand, and the door creaked open, and there was a small pond garden inside the door. The lotus flowers in the pond have long since withered, the ground is full of fallen leaves, it is depressed, and the corridor is lonely, there is no one. Yi Yi sighed: "Everyone went to Yongji Hall to catch the hot stove, this master has only been gone for a few days, and this place is as empty as promised." ”

Shen Fang listened to the meaning of his words, this seems to be Qu Bailing's residence before his death, Yi Yi shouted to the coachman to drive the car into the door to settle down, the three of them entered the inner room, and the car was parked in the open space between the main landlord corridor and the west corridor. There were only a few clumsy wooden chairs and beds left in the house, and the rest should be soft and soft, even the quilt was only one bed, Yi Ji gave it to Shen Fang and his wife, and he wandered in the garden for a while, looking rather desolate.

Shen Fang didn't know what kind of person the old hero Qu was, but listening to Sanniang, he must have been extremely noisy before his death, and he didn't expect to be so desolate after death. That night, he and Sanniang were alone in the cold, the window was facing the north wind, and they were not stable all night. Looking back on this escape journey, now living in a garden of the dead, I can't help but feel that my life has to be fleeting and a hundred years in a flash. From the second watch, I can hear the sound of falling leaves in the garden, listen carefully, it turns out to be the sound of Yi Cup wine and piano stepping into the garden. He played the harp all night in the garden. In the morning, Shen put up and looked through the window once, in the dark shadow, I saw him sitting quietly by a pool of dry lotus, Xiao Xiao Suo, lonely and detached, his demeanor is unguessable.

The next morning, Sanniang said: "This Yi Gongzi must be a strange person, and he is also a man of temperament." ”

sighed, and then said: "I heard him whispering in the garden last night, saying: 'Old man Qu, you and I have a good relationship, and you like to listen to me play the piano the most. But when you live in the world, there is always a lot of fun, and there is always no leisure. And how many troubles, you can bear it. Now that you're dead, all I can repay you is this sleepless night, playing the piano all night. Alas, the song is dead in people, what a fantasy in the world'. ”

Sanniang looked at Shen Fang and said, "His words and deeds already have the flavor of Wei and Jin that you usually say." ”

After breakfast, the three of them went to Gulou Street, the most lively street in Lu'an City. Shen Fang asked, "Yi Gongzi, where are we going today?" ”

Yi Yi smiled and said, "Go to Yongji Hall." ”

After a pause, he seemed to feel the need to explain: "Yongji Hall is the entrance of the main hall of Liuhemen in southern Anhui, and the building is quite magnificent. The source of Liuhe Gate came from Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty, and its martial arts originated from the Wudou Rice Road in the late Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the world was full of heroes, and there were many military figures in the Liuhe Gate, so far the martial arts changed, and a grand atmosphere was opened. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Liuhe Boxing and Liuhe guns were popular for a while, and so far in the southern and eastern parts of Anhui, where the villages are still martial, most of them are still circulating, and even the children of a few years old still make the Liuhe Fist of the Elephant Appearance. It's a pity that after a long period of peace, the people who practice boxing in the world gradually lose the essence of Liuhequan, and only the effect of strengthening the body is left, and there is no ability to rush and kill. When he arrived at Old Man Qu, he was determined to be uplifted and reopened the Liuhe Gate. He is very accomplished in Liuhe Fist and Liuhe Gun. He had personally resisted gold from the eight-character army, a spear in the front of the army and ten decisive battles, known as the reputation of the "Liuhe Gun King", and still has the sixteen-character plaque of the "Eight-Character Army" leader Wang Tong inscription on the head of the door, "Fist Ping Neikou, Gun Unloading External Insult, Only I Qumen, Liuhe Yishou". ”

He seemed to know a lot about the 'Liuhemen', and after a pause, he continued: "In his later years, the old hero Qu was still an old man, and he was still strong, and he supported the Huaishang Righteous Army greatly. According to him, the Liuhe Gate has been divided into six halls under him, with the inner three halls of 'heaven, earth, and man', and the outer three halls of 'blessing, lu, and joy'. Someone once asked him why he lacked a 'longevity' word hall, and he once said calmly: 'When this troubled era and the family and country are torn apart, those who practice martial arts will encounter injustice, such as enjoying eternal life, it is not glory, but shame. ’”

"So three years ago, on his seventieth birthday, I sent someone to him. It is said that he felt old and laughed at himself for writing a couplet on the beam, saying that it was 'a shame to be seventy years old', which was passed down as an anecdote in the rivers and lakes. He smiled slightly, thinking of his style, and felt comforted in his heart. sighed in his mouth: "It's a pity that he is also a good crane now." Qu Lao Hero has no children, he is gone, it is said that the door has become a mess of porridge, our line, I'm afraid there will be trouble. ”

The car has traveled to Gulou Street, and the street is really lively, with paper shops, tree shops, tooth brushing shops, headscarf shops, and dim sum shops...... It is opened sequentially. Shen Fang quietly looked outside, he liked this kind of morning market, it was the most lively time of the day in city life. Hearing it in his ears, he suddenly asked Jing Sanniang: "Is Jing Niangzi usable a dagger?" ”

Jing Sanniang nodded.

Yi Ju groaned: "Depressed and frustrated, arrogant and grateful-that is the sword weapon of the ghost valley of Wangwu Mountain and the old man of Gongsun." ”

Sanniang was stunned, she knew that her martial arts were very secluded in the rivers and lakes, and she had passed many martial arts masters since her debut, and no one had ever been able to tell her origins. But he listened to Yi Yi and said: "Is the old man Gongsun good?" ”

The third lady sighed: "I only followed him for three months, and after three months, I will not be blessed to see his old man again." Now I haven't seen him for more than ten years, I don't know if he's okay. As soon as he looked up, he asked, "Why, Yi Gongzi recognizes the family teacher." ”

Yi Yi couldn't help but say when she heard her previous sentence: "It's a pity" - Jing Sanniang knew that it was a pity that he had too little fate with the old man Gongsun; and heard her last sentence, and only said lightly: "It's a one-sided relationship." ”

Suddenly, I heard the driver outside the carriage say: "Young master, the 'Yongji Hall' you said has arrived?" ”

Yi Yi stretched out his head to take a look, nodded, and the three of them got out of the car. Shen Fang and Sanniang looked at the door, and sure enough, the building was quite magnificent. Only the gate is magnificent, the style is extraordinary, and a pair of Yanzhou bluestone hugging lions at the door are mighty and extremely vivid. On the flagpole at the head of the door, the embroidered flag with the words "Liuhe Gate" is waved in large characters - I think that for the death of the old hero Qu, the flag has been changed to black. On both sides of the gate are plain white curtains, and filial piety tents are hung. There was no sound inside the door, and on either side of the door stood six men in white clothes, all draped in sackcloth. Shen Fangqi is that the two doors are tightly closed, isn't it Tongqinghang? Yi Ju didn't seem to be surprised, and the three of them walked forward with Shen Fang, he ignored the six men guarding the door, and stepped forward to knock on the door. I saw that one of the six people coughed, stepped forward and said, "This son, there is something in my Liuhe Gate today, and I will not open the funeral." Everyone's heart, our master has received it, but please go back. ”

Shen Fang was surprised, but Yi Yi smiled and said, "I just came here because of something for your family." - Is Aunt Shen here? Guo, Liu, and Yang are also there? By the way, Qu Lao Hero has no children, so his nephew Qu Yu should be there. ”

The man frowned, seeing that he knew his family very well, and stopped stopping him. Strangely, he didn't open the door to report, but just stepped aside. Yi Ji didn't care, and continued to knock on the door. He knocked very rhythmically, and waited for a while, only to see the door open, revealing an angry face, and a young and violent voice came from afar in the inner hall of the door, asking, "Who is it?" ”

The man who opened the door said, "I don't know." ”

The voice in the hall said, "Get out." He also muttered, "How can there be so many people!" It doesn't matter if other people's families have something to do, just come here, just want to cheat on a meal? ”

The guy who opened the door was going to close. Yi Yi smiled and reached out to hold the door and stepped into one foot. Jing Sanniang looked at it, but saw that there was a shadow wall inside this door. She couldn't see the wall, but she could hear that the main hall should be some distance away from the shadow wall, so she whispered to Shen Fang: "The person who spoke in the hall has a lot of confidence, and the voice is still so loud and hoarse across a wall, it seems that the kung fu is good." ”

But I heard a female voice in the house at this time: "Young Master Yu, why don't the guests who came to hang the old man let him in?" No matter what people say, they are also a heart, four blessings, and release people. ”

The voice was a little hoarse, not high, but very clear. Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and said secretly, there are capable people in Liuhemen, and this woman seems to be a master when she listens to her voice.

The four blessings seemed to listen to the woman's words more, and the anger on his face was slightly reduced when he heard the words. Yi Yi smiled and said, "Please open the side door, little brother, we have a female dependent, let the car in." ”

Sanniang smiled in her heart: The reason why she wants to drive the car in, it is not the female dependents who need to be taken care of, but the silver.

The car enters through the side door, and around the shadow wall, there is a small square. Shen Fang and Sanniang didn't think that Liuhemen would be such a spacious square after a small shadow wall, want to come here is the martial arts training ground of Liuhemen, ten zhang wide, about fifteen or sixteen zhang long, directly opposite the steps is probably the main hall of Liuhemen, and it is also the place of discussion, the head of the hall is really hung with the sixteen-character plaque that Yi Ji said, the gesture is strong, the black background is gold, and the book is "Fist Ping Neikou, Gun Imperial Insult, Only I Qumen, Liuhe Yishou", it seems that this Liuhe Gate is really magnificent on the rivers and lakes. Yi Ji asked the coachman to drive the car directly to the left of the hall to stop under the ancient huai, and asked the two coachmen to watch outside, and he and Sanniang Shen Fang entered the hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Fang felt that the hall was so big and full of people. The hall is divided into front and back, and a small wall is erected in the middle, on which the portrait of the old man of Wusheng Guan is originally painted. Behind the corpse, the people in one place were dressed differently, standing and sitting differently, but they all seemed to be angry. I saw a middle-aged woman standing on the left side of the spirit card, with a thin figure, sharp nails, a plain body, and half a veil on her face, she couldn't see her face clearly, and she faintly revealed a bit of beauty, but her face was a little old. A simple young man stood beside her, accompanying her to keep a vigil. On the right is a twenty-eight or nine-year-old young man, who looks good, but his face is quite a little frivolous, although he is in filial piety, his clothes and shoes are white, but the materials are all ayaluo, and the body is decorated, it is Hanyu platinum, which is quite extravagant, and he knows that he is Qu Yu, the nephew of Qu Lao Hero, and his kung fu has been quite true.

Then there are three chairs in the first row on the right, and there are three old men sitting on them, I think it is the Guo, Liu, and Yang mentioned by Yi Yucai, they are Qu Bailing's junior disciples, and they are in charge of the three halls of 'Fu, Lu, and Xi', and they are also quite powerful figures in the Liuhe Gate.

The guest seat at the next head was also dark and sat fifty or sixty people, three in groups and five, each surrounded by a small table. They also seem to have heard that something in the Liuhe Gate came here today. There are Li Banxiang, the big shopkeeper of the 'Liangxiang Money Village', and Hu Qidao, a master in the 'Five Elements Knife', and others, which can be said to be quite a lot of outstanding figures.

Qu Bailing has no children, and now he has been around for a hundred years, there is no one behind him, Qu Yu is his only nephew, and he has a good kung fu, so he naturally has the luxury of taking over the master of Liuhemen. - Qu Yu was annoyed that there were too many miscellaneous people coming, and he didn't know who among these people was Qu Lao's real friend before his death, but he suspected that these people were afraid that they would all be dissatisfied with him, and they intended to help Aunt Shen and Uncle Guo come. He himself has always lived a buoyant life, is arrogant, and was very favored by his uncle when he was young, but when he was older, he was quite disliked by Qu Bailing. He himself also knew that he had a bad reputation outside, and he was afraid that he would not get any support, so today's matter at the door, he hoped that the fewer people who came, the better, so he passed the word early, ordered the door to be closed, and ordered the head of the door to be on duty only to say, 'There are internal affairs at home, and there are no outsiders', and he didn't want to get up early in the morning and hand over one after another are all the guests who can't be stopped, and he can't help but feel depressed. As soon as he was angry, his face turned pale, knowing that others would laugh at him like this, but for this reason, he was only more angry and more irritable.

At this time, when he saw Yi Ji and the three of them coming in, he didn't pay attention to it, and Yi Ji said to the woman, Aunt Shen: "Xiao Ke and Qu Lao Hero have had a one-time friendship, and I have come to pay tribute to incense today." ”

Aunt Shen knew the etiquette very well, and said modestly: "The surviving person thanked the deceased on behalf of the deceased." ”

Shen Fang looked at Yi Ju, and saw that he was stroking the piano for Qu Bailing last night, hanging each other for survival, and he felt like Ji Zi hanging his sword, but at this time, he only lightly put on a pillar of incense, bowed slightly, and didn't say much. Over there, Qu Yu took Aunt Shen's words and snorted coldly beside him: "Hey, the surviving person, I don't know when I promoted myself, take a look at the Qumen family tree, when will you be called the surviving person?" ”

It seems that Aunt Shen is not the main family that Qu Bailing Ming Media is marrying. The honest young man beside her was angry, but Aunt Shen herself couldn't hear it, and when she saw that Shen Fang and Sanniang had also finished saluting, she replied: "Three of you, please sit down, little girl, serve tea." ”

Yi Yi picked up a corner of the east head and sat down. Shen Fang and Sanniang saw that he didn't say anything, so they also sat there and watched the changes.

Qu Yu also had calculations in his heart, he saw that there were more and more people coming, and he knew that he couldn't wait any longer. In fact, how could anyone who came know Qu Bailing's later bad feelings towards him and what he did, but he couldn't help but feel weak. I only heard him clear his throat and say: "Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw,—— rank, my uncle passed away, and you can come far away, which shows the high righteousness." It just so happens that there are some family matters to discuss in my Qumen today, so you can testify. ”

As he spoke, Jing Sanniang also whispered to Shen Fang below: "This kid is anxious to take the throne." Sure enough, Qu Yu said next: "As the saying goes: a snake can't fly without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head, not to mention that my uncle has opened such a large foundation, and my uncle will leave the west today, and the door will not be left without an owner for a day." The children of the upper and lower levels, the three halls inside and outside, are all worried about this. Therefore, Xiao Ke had a humble opinion that it was better to choose the master as soon as possible, so he made an appointment with the head of the door to gather here to discuss. Uncle Guo, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Yang, do you think what the little nephew said makes sense? ”

He knew that these three people would not support him, but he couldn't help but mention it on his face, and he reluctantly said it, and there was an arrogance in his tone that could not be concealed. Everyone in the hall looked to the right of the hall, and saw three people sitting on the three rosewood chairs on the right. The first one at the top had a ruddy complexion, was tall and strong, and was quite magnificent; The middle one has a dark blue face, his eyes seem to be open and closed, and his hands are always clasped together; The third person was dressed a little shabby, with a sad face. Those who know each other know that these three people are Qu Bailing's junior disciples, and they are now in charge of the "Outer Three Halls". The ruddy face is Guo Qianshou, the hall master of the "Difu Hall", the dark blue face is Liu Wancheng, the hall master of the "Dianlu Hall", and the last person with a dark blue face is Yang Zhaoji, the hall master of the "Banxi Hall". The three brothers and Qu Bailing, their names are in the order of hundreds, thousands, thousands, and trillions. Guo Qianshou has the most anxious temperament, and Yang Zhaoji has a too slow temperament, and the three of them thought that they came after a good discussion, so Liu Wancheng, who was not in a hurry, replied: "What the virtuous nephew said is very true. ”

Qu Yu didn't seem to expect these three old men who had always been difficult to talk so well today, this was probably the first time in his life that he heard these three people say, 'What the virtuous nephew said is very true', he was stunned for a moment, and then spoke again: "Then who does Uncle Shi think is appropriate?" I didn't want to come out, but recently there was always a cadre of disciples who came to advise, saying that in the Qu Gate, I am the longest concubine, and I will not be the head of the door, and whoever changes him will feel that he is not suitable. Although the little nephew knows that he is a shallow learner, he can only make it difficult for him, and he can't shirk the heavy responsibility, so that outsiders say that I have no queen and my uncle has no queen. - Uncle Shi, you said: Should I be the master of this door? ”

Liu Wancheng said indifferently: "You should be, you should be, who else should be the master of this door?" ”

Qu Yu was stunned in his heart, he couldn't believe it, how could the three uncles who had always been incompatible with him talk so well today, but he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart. Although he was afraid that Liu Wancheng was saying the opposite, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "I just don't know, what are the opinions of Uncle Guo and Uncle Yang?" ”

When he saw that the other party supported him, he couldn't help but feel a little more respectful in his words. Yang Zhaoji didn't open his eyes, only 'hummed' in his nose and nodded. Qu Yu was overjoyed, and he couldn't care about his expression, and turned to Guo Qianshou again. Guo Qianshou couldn't hide the attitude in his heart, and said in a 'hum' voice: "I think you should be, of course you should be." ”

Qu Yu thought that there would be a war of words today, and if he didn't get it right, he would have to do it, and he was ready to deal with a dragon and tiger fight, but he didn't expect to get the consent of the hall master of the 'Outer Three Halls' so easily, so he was naturally overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but be in a trance. The hall masters of the 'Inner Three Halls' are all Qu Bailing's old robes, so he naturally handles it better. And there are not many people present in the three halls today, he takes the position of the master of the 'Liren Hall', and is the head of the three halls of 'heaven, earth, and people', and the rest of the two halls of 'heaven and earth' are Qu Bailing's disciples, and the other is the middle of the eight-character army in the past. Qu Yu rubbed his hands with a smile and said: "As the saying goes, it's better to pick a day than to hit the sun, how about the little nephew choose to make a ceremony in front of everyone today?" ”

He only thinks that there are many outsiders, and he is afraid that it will hinder him from fighting in the door, and at this time, he only suspects that there are fewer people - the big guy can't see the scene of him being the head of the door in a glamorous manner. There is no way to vent the joy in my heart, I raised my hand and said: "Open the door", I wanted to say that I passed the banquet, but after a while, I remembered that I was in the funeral of my uncle, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He said to another cronie: "Go to the inner hall Shun Heaven to ask for the token of the Lord of the Liuhe Gate, and invite the Heaven Law Enforcement Elder Hu, I will complete the ceremony of succeeding the door master in front of the three uncles and everyone." ”

As soon as he called, his own cronies and disciples ran for him. ——No one objected to his previous words, and he didn't want to say until the last sentence, Liu Wancheng suddenly stood up and stopped: "Wait, please come out of the Liuhe Gate Master token?" ”

Attentive people heard that he bit the word 'Liuhe' very hard.

Qu Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't Uncle Liu say that I should succeed the head of the sect - and it's better to choose the day than to hit the day, and it's better to make a gift today?" Naturally, the token is for the sake of the gift. ”

Liu Wancheng has said lightly: "You open your mouth to Qumen, close your mouth to Qumen, and claim to be the head of all the relatives, so I and your two uncles, Guo and Yang, agree that you are the master of Qumen, that is your Qumen housework, you respect the three of us, ask us whether we are suitable or not, we naturally want to give you face, saying that you should succeed as the master of the door." But when it comes to the Liuhe Gate, the token of the Liuhe Gate is not easy for ordinary people to move? ”

There was a slight chaos in the hall, and everyone guessed that something would come before, but they didn't expect to see the Liuhe Gate commotion. Qu Yu looked at Liu Wancheng, saw that he was sneering slightly, knowing that he had been tricked by this old fox, as soon as he opened his mouth, he clearly separated the "Qumen" and "Liuhemen", as if he was unreasonable, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but turn purple with anger, and said angrily: "What did you say? Liuhemen and Qumen are not the same? Which of these Liuhemen was not founded by my uncle's father, which set of kung fu was not corrected by my uncle's father and passed on to you, his bones are not cold, you began to reject his family, hum, you are really a wolf's ambition, how poisonous! ”

Liu Wancheng couldn't tolerate it, and sneered: "Uncle? You're embarrassed to say these two words! Back then, you made a fool of yourself in Hefei, if it weren't for the persuasion of our uncles, your uncle would have kicked you out of Qumen, and what did you say about Liuhemen. Speaking of which, I don't even know if you are worthy of sitting at the head of this Qu Gate, Liuhe Gate is dignified, can the position of the master of the door be given to a prostitute casually? ”

Back then, the matter in '***' was an old illness in Qu Yu's heart, and he hated others mentioning it the most, and when he heard the stinging, he couldn't help but immediately retort: "Hehe, what kind of elder are you putting on, don't let me say it." - You are the hall master of the 'Outer Three Halls', but in the past few years, have you ever entered the door of the 'Yongji Hall'? The outer three halls have long been in vain. Back then, for my uncle to contact Mr. Huai Shangyi, and the business of the goods in the door, you and your uncle almost turned against each other, and went away in anger, did you forget what you said about 'the same door and different accounts'? Over the years, I have been shy and asked my uncle to make up for it. You don't remember others, but you do! Today, I see that the door is prosperous, and my uncle has gone again, but your outer three halls are declining everywhere, but you are going to come back to fight for the master of the main door, which is contemptible, contemptible, ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Guo Qianshou was the most anxious, and slapped it with a slap, and the right arm of a rosewood chair had been knocked down by him with a palm, only to hear him say angrily: "You, do you treat the master of the door with such an attitude?" With you as the master of the door, how can the door be obeyed? ”

Qu Yu also came up angry, and said angrily: "Do you show kung fu? With the introductory kung fu such as slapping the chair, I also came to grab the door master, hehe, I can't help but look down on my Qu Men no one, is it possible that you will be the master of the door and the person in the door will be served. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and clamped them on the chair he was sitting on, and he didn't see him accumulating, but he just grabbed it and twisted it slowly, and the handle of the chair was already broken by the force of his two fingers. The people in the hall couldn't help but shout softly, and everyone saw that Qu Yu was irritable and arrogant, and they couldn't help but despise him in their hearts, thinking that they were just a child. At this time, when I saw it, I realized that if nothing else, his kung fu was real. With this hand alone, it is much smarter than Guo Qianshou's palm. There are also many masters in the seat, but with the power of only two fingers, few people can really break the armrest of a pear hardwood arm. I saw that Yang Wanji, who had never spoken, opened his mouth at this time: "Being the master of the door is not something that can sit down with kung fu alone." If you rely on kung fu alone, we don't need to compare, please ride Yuan Boss to come, I don't need to say, one of you here can't match him, if you want to talk about martial arts, it's better to ask him to sit the head of all the sects and factions in the world. ”

His tone is sharp, but his words seem to be reasonable, all factions in the world, the choice of the master is often not only based on kung fu.

Liu Wancheng has already said: "Yes, your Uncle Yang is right, the position of the master of this sect is not in Germany." ”
