Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hong Shaoyu and the House of Elders
After staying in Lingque Mountain for five days, Lin Qi embarked on the itinerary again, this time to the destination of the Imperial Capital of Great China, Yanjing City.
In addition to going to pick up the firefly pear back to the mountain and visit Qin Feiling, who was asleep, Lin Qi also promised Qingyang to ask the opinion of the Oriental Fairy of the Sword Pavilion, so that he could accept Qingyang as an apprentice after getting consent.
If it weren't for Qingyang always remembering this matter and always urging Lin Qi to get on the road as soon as possible, this time he would actually be able to live in the mountains for a few days.
But Xia Xuanting's meaning is also to hope that Lin Qi will leave as soon as possible, if Firefly already knows that Lin Qi is back, but has not seen anyone for a long time, I am afraid that this girl will also be angry.
At that time, if you want to persuade you to come back, I'm afraid it won't be so simple.
Lin Qi was also worried, and he didn't know how to face Firefly, but since he was seen through by the master, he couldn't say anything.
I was afraid that it would take more than a month to go to Yanjing, so Lin Qi and Qingyang packed up their baggage and went on the road.
Yan Cong originally wanted to follow, but was left behind by Xia Xuanting.
Although Yan Cong had been accepted as a disciple by Lin Qi, he had given tea and performed the etiquette of apprenticeship, and he should have officially started to practice, but his foundation was too thin, or he was not a monk at all, so he was left on the mountain by Xia Xuanting and started to learn from the basics.
Lin Qi also knows that he can't teach Yan Cong very well now, but with the help of his master, it is very suitable.
After all, he has also been practicing with Xia Xuanting since he was a child, and the benefits are clearer than others.
Although Yan Cong was a little reluctant at first, but after seeing Xia Xuanting's methods, he no longer had any opinions, although when they were separated, he still had a handful of snot and tears, like a child, but no matter what, he was a disciple of the next generation of Yutian Sect.
"Master, you must come back early, but you can't leave me!"
"Don't cry, come with me, you still haven't done 10,000 breaths today!"
Looking at Yan Cong, who was forcibly pulled away by Xia Xuanting with a painful face, Lin Qi smiled and waved at him, went down the mountain, passed by the small wine village, took a pot of wine, and went to the west of Yanzhou.
......
Yanjing City, Sword Pavilion, Elders' House.
The four elders of the Sword Pavilion sat together, their faces were heavy, and they seemed to have their own concerns.
At this time, someone outside the house reported it.
"Elder, Senior Brother Hong Shaoyu is here. ”
Hearing this name, the four of them looked at each other, but their faces were happy.
"It seems that the incident last time really made Hong Shaoyu fall to our side, so I am afraid that the balance of this Sword Pavilion will also tilt towards us and others. ”
"In my opinion, it was the wound medicine that Yan Lao sent in time last time that played a big role, giving this Hong Shaoyu a chance to see the situation clearly, I guess he came today to show his loyalty to us, this opportunity, we must make good use of it. ”
"Shi Lao is right, but this balance must also be taken care of, after all, the current Hong Shaoyu is also a grandmaster, as long as we can firmly hold him in our hands, we will have enough strength to compete with Zhang Xiao, even if we want to replace him at that time, I am afraid it will be a logical thing. ”
"Kang Lao's meaning, is also my meaning, but no matter what, Zhang Xiao's side still can't be underestimated, although he treats us politely, retreats everywhere, and seems to be a little jealous, but in fact, it's just because we haven't touched his bottom line, this kid is also you and I watched grow up, you all know what you think, once we endanger his status as the pavilion master, I'm afraid he will be the first to do it!"
Everyone nodded one after another, obviously understanding this, it seems that Zhang Xiao does not intervene in the affairs of the Sword Pavilion on weekdays, and always leaves it to his subordinates He Mingdu and Qi Xuanhui to deal with, but they also know that every move of everyone in the pavilion can't escape Zhang Xiao's eyes.
"Okay, this matter will be discussed later, now that Shao Yu is still outside, we can't snub such a big grandmaster, hurry, welcome him in." ”
The disciple who passed the word was named Dong Lingjun, who was considered the confidant of the elders, he nodded slightly, turned around and left, and soon came back with one person, it was Hong Shaoyu, who had just recovered from his injuries.
Seeing Hong Shaoyu walk in, the four elders stood up one after another and greeted each other with smiling faces.
"Shao Yu, come on, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you had forgotten a few of our old bones, what's the matter, is the injury already healed, that's really gratifying." ”
Originally, Hong Shaoyu was still a little reluctant to come to the House of Elders, but hearing such an enthusiastic voice swept away the embarrassment in his heart.
Although the House of Elders has always been interested in him, and Hong Shaoyu does not want to get involved in their struggle for power with the Pavilion Master, he has always kept a suitable distance, hoping that both sides will not be offended.
But this time he was injured, and the Elders' House also sent the wound medicine as soon as possible, this wound medicine is surprisingly good, and it must be a precious thing, so after the injury is healed, Hong Shaoyu always feels that he has to come to thank him, but he didn't expect that a few elders would be more enthusiastic than he imagined.
Hong Shaoyu's personality is more direct, he is not very good at turning corners, whoever is good to him, he is good to whom, seeing that the elders remember his injuries so much, he was also very moved, so he hurriedly thanked him.
"Rest assured, the elders are okay with Shao Yu's injuries. ”
Hong Shaoyu nodded, looked up, from left to right, the four elders of the House of Elders, Yan Shicong, Shi Guhong, Kang Mingzheng and Xing Feng.
It was Elder Yan who stepped forward to speak, and after saying this, he directly grabbed Hong Shaoyu's hand and took him to the table to sit down.
"Shao Yu, it's okay if you're okay, since you're here this time, let's talk to a few of our old bones, since the establishment of this elders' house, I have been busy with all kinds of things in the pavilion, and I have gradually become a little estranged from the juniors in the pavilion, and we don't want to see such a situation, so why can't we help ourselves, we can't help ourselves." ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Hong Shaoyu to refuse, so he stretched out his hand to summon Dong Lingjun.
"Ling Jun, you go to the Yuelou, order a table of good wine and food to send here, and bring a few pots of the best Qianli wine in the Yuelou, today, a few of our old guys are going to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman, and Shao Yu will not get drunk and return. ”
Hong Shaoyu didn't have time to stop him, so Dong Lingjun had already gone.
The matter has come to this point, and Hong Shaoyu has no time to change anything, but the balance in his heart has quietly shifted to the side of the Elders' House at this time.
"Shao Yu, I heard that your injury this time was caused by that girl? What am I talking about, this girl is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and she doesn't know the severity of her shots, which is really embarrassing. ”
Hearing Elder Shi say this, Hong Shaoyu was very embarrassed.
"Actually, it's also me who is wrong first, no wonder the pear girl, although she was injured a little, but it was probably fine, and it was a lesson. ”
Everyone also knew Hong Shaoyu's thoughts, and when they heard him say this, they all thought that he was looking for the other party to go down the stairs, and they each smiled, so they didn't say anything anymore.
At this time, Elder Xing poured him a cup of tea.
"Shao Yu, I have long heard that you are already a grandmaster, this is also a rare top achievement in our talented Sword Pavilion, although this firefly girl is also a grandmaster, but I don't think you can lose to her, let's talk about it, is it that you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and finally give up." ”
Elder Xing's intention is very simple, if he can really let Firefly marry Hong Shaoyu, it will also solve a lot of troubles, after all, the husband sings and the wife follows, and there will be two grandmasters in the Elders' House at one time, and if he can really get his wish, he will not be afraid of Zhang Xiao.
Hong Shaoyu listened to Elder Xing's words, but he couldn't help but show a wry smile, he thought about it and thought about it, and finally decided to ask the question that had always existed in his heart.
Regarding the realm of the grandmaster, what is the higher stage?
