Qi Xuansu looked at the Ruyi list for a while, and found a very interesting thing, all the people who are on the list are all Taoist priests with ranks, and people from the court are added to official positions or titles, and ordinary Jianghu people use nicknames, such as "One Word Flying Sword", "Great Mercy Palm", "Wind Thunder Knife", "Into the Forest Tiger", "Laughing King Kong", "Megatron Three Counties", etc., either according to their blade skills, or according to their character, or according to their deeds.

Take Zhang Yuelu as an example, outsiders call him Master Zhang, and people from the Daomen call him Deputy Hall Master Zhang, not to mention how domineering, but it is full of weight, and there is no boasting at all. Compared with the two, there is a suspicion of flattering each other by choosing a nickname, and there are indeed people in the rivers and lakes who deliberately take a loud nickname and paste gold on their faces, revealing a bit of rabble invisibly.

Therefore, when people in the Taoist sect deal with people in the rivers and lakes, they will never say what nicknames their friends give them to give them love, but only say that they are Taoist priests.

As for Qi Xuansu, although he is walking the rivers and lakes, he has not seen the light and has not left any name. This is not surprising, Qi Niang is such a powerful person, and her reputation is limited to the inside of the Qingping Society, and outsiders have no way of knowing.

Qi Xuansu finished reading the three lists, and planned to stay in the restaurant for a while to see if he could find out about the "Eagle Killing and Dog Slaughtering Conference".

Thanks to Zhang Yuelu's blessing, Qi Xuansu, who didn't like to drink in the past, now barely likes to have a few drinks, and after asking the guy in the restaurant for a pot of wine, he sat in an inconspicuous corner of the inn lobby.

This restaurant is not a Taiping Inn opened by Daomen, so there are a lot of people coming and going, and after a while, the lobby of the restaurant is already full.

Qi Xuansu sat alone, opened his cloak, took off his hood, and revealed the Taoist robe inside, after all, it cost a lot of Taiping money to buy, the workmanship is fine, it can be regarded as a brocade robe, and there are short swords and fire guns hanging on his waist, coupled with Qi Xuansu's good temperament, which makes people afraid, but no one dares to provoke rashly.

At this moment, the three people came in, looked around, and saw that the seats were full, and only Qi Xuansu was left to occupy a table, so he had to come over and arch his hand: "This friend, can you fight for a seat?" ”

Qi Xuansu raised his hand: "Just sit casually." ”

"Thank you, thank you." After thanking the three of them, they sat down separately and asked for two pots of wine, seeing that Qi Xuansu was not a good person, and he didn't seem to be interested in talking, so he didn't dare to talk rashly, but the three of them drank and chatted by themselves.

A young man lowered his voice a little and said: "This 'Eagle Killing and Dog Slaughtering Conference', the scene is really not small, there is still one day before the first day, and this Xiping Mansion city is already crowded with heroes from all walks of life. ”

Another man with a scar on his face said: "This is natural, this time it is the 'Heavenly Court' that takes the lead, plus several major gangs have joined forces, and the momentum is huge, which one doesn't want to make friends with them." I heard that this time the 'Heavenly Court' came to 'Feng Bo', and his old man is a disciple of the Jin Gong Patriarch, and he is one of the ten elders of the 'Heavenly Court'. If it weren't for such a grand event, how could ordinary people meet each other? This time, the 'Eagle Killing and Dog Slaughtering Conference' was held, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes naturally gathered when they heard the news, but it was very lively. ”

The last white-bearded man sneered: "There are a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, but I'm afraid that Eagle Claw Sun has also come a lot." This time, I deliberately did not invite people from the Purple Light Sect, the Knowing Destiny Sect, and the Lingshan Witch Sect, so no one from the Dao Sect would come, but Qingluanwei might not be able to say it. ”

The man who broke his appearance said: "It's still prudent, the 'Heavenly Court' doesn't dare to provoke the Daomen, except for the three, who dares to provoke the Daomen?" The provincial governments in all parts of the country are open, and I don't see anyone who dares to cause trouble. As for Qingluanwei, no matter how powerful it is, it is nothing, as long as the court does not send the people in black, Qingluanwei alone will not be able to make any big waves. ”

"That's right." The other two nodded in agreement.

The guests at the surrounding tables were also people from the rivers and lakes, and after listening to the three of them chatting, they also joined in, saying: "Qingluanwei has indeed been arrogant over the years. ”

"It's not that the emperor reuses Qingluanwei today, so they will be so arrogant."

"In the past, whether it was private salt or border tea horses, these livelihoods were not easy to do, but there was a way to live, but in recent years, it has been difficult to do, and being caught is a dead word."

"There is also the trade of digging ginseng in Liaodong is not easy to do, Qingluanwei has set up a number of hundreds of households there, and he rides back and forth with a long gun every day, and the brothers have to lie on the snow nest for several hours to find an opportunity."

"I can't go to sea, I heard that the city hall of Daomen is recruiting crews, but it's too hard and tiring, that's all, the key is that once you get on the ship, it's like going to prison."

Someone said in a loud voice: "The so-called 'killing eagles and slaughtering dogs' is talking about Qingluanwei, these court eagle dogs, I don't know how many fellow people in the rivers and lakes will be killed in a year, and they have already committed public anger, so they will respond to every call." ”

For a while, the inn seemed to explode, this friend who said that his friend died in the hands of Qingluanwei, and the person who said that he was shot by Qingluanwei a few years ago, and the crowd was surging.

The shopkeeper's face was already pale, and he hurriedly said: "Everyone, everyone, please be cautious, the so-called right and wrong is just to speak more, and the troubles are all because of the strong head." This is in the city, and Qingluanwei's thousands of households are close at hand, so it's better not to provoke right and wrong. ”

Although many people have a lot of complaints about Qingluanwei, they are also afraid of getting into trouble because of this, so they have turned off their voices.

After a while, people left one after another, and after a while, a noisy restaurant had become deserted.

Qi Xuansu asked unhurriedly: "I want to ask the three of you, where is the 'Eagle Killing and Dog Slaughtering Conference' you are talking about?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other and did not speak rashly, obviously afraid that Qi Xuansu was a person from Qingluanwei.

Qi Xuansu saw that they were worried, and said, "Qingluanwei's people still use it in the restaurant to find out the news?" Their eyes and ears couldn't be more informed. ”

"What I'm saying is that Talon Sun's dog nose is the smartest, and he has already smelled it." The young man couldn't help but say.

The other two thought about it, it was indeed the truth, how could Qingluanwei not know the news they all knew, so they said: "Such a grand event naturally cannot be held in the city, but is chosen on a hill outside the city." ”

Qi Xuansu asked again, "What is the name of the hill?" ”

The man said in one breath: "In Jiuwagang, after going out of the city, go west, pass Wuliuji and Nannizhen, it is Tongmingji, and go north from Tongmingji for a while, it is Jiuwagang." ”

"Thank you." Qi Xuansu nodded, dropped a handful of wishful money on the table, and went straight out.

However, Qi Xuansu did not rush out of the city, but walked around the city again. Fortunately, Xiping Mansion is the capital of a state, and it is quite prosperous, Qi Xuansu finally found a ready-to-wear shop, bought an inconspicuous scholar's shirt, and then found an inn, changed out of the cloak and Taoist robe with an obvious Yujing style, folded it and put it in the bag, and carried it on his back. lest they be recognized as a man of the Tao.

After doing this, it was already dark, and Qi Xuansu went out of the city.

Although Qi Xuansu came to Xiping Mansion for the first time, as long as he knew the name of the place, he could always inquire about the past, which was not a difficult task. After leaving the city, Qi Xuansu went all the way to the west along the official road avenue, at this time there were not a few people who rushed to Jiuwagang, Qi Xuansu casually asked someone to inquire about a few place names, walked about more than 100 miles, and arrived at Jiuwagang.

From a distance, the Jiuwa Gang is not high, only a slight mountain range, and there is a large open space on the top of the mountain. Although tomorrow is the first day of the conference, there are already many people waiting here today, because of the cold spring, they are forming a large and small circle to roast the fire.

Qi Xuansu has been vigorous in blood since he got the martial arts miracle, and a little cold is really nothing, so he jumped on the top of a big tree and waited patiently.

So the next morning, a large number of people came one after another, and more and more people gathered. By noon or so, it was already dark and crowded, leaving only an open space and a high platform in the center. Qi Xuansu sat on the treetops and glanced at it, there were thousands of people, not to mention that there were thousands of people. It's just that I don't know how many Qingluanwei people are here, and how many are people who have secretly formed associations.

After an hour like this, there was a sudden thunder of joy in all directions, and dozens of people surrounded an old man in Tsing Yi and walked into the middle of the open space.

The old man's white beard fluttered, his gas was not bad, and he was not inferior to the three-grade Youyi Taoist priest of the Daomen, climbed on a high platform temporarily built with rocks, looked around, and said with his fists: "Fellow Daoists, you are polite." ”

Everyone stood up and saluted in unison, "I've seen 'Feng Bo'." ”

Only then did Qi Xuansu know that the old man in front of him was the "Feng Bo" of the "Heavenly Court", and it seemed that he was also on the Taiping List? As for the specific ranking, I can't remember.

I only heard the loud voice of "Feng Bo", and said loudly: "Friends, we are gathered here today, everyone knows that it is for a major event, that is, to solve the murder of many of our colleagues in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and the culprit is the heinous ......."

The four of them said in unison: "Qingluanwei! ”

Thousands of people shouted in unison, and it was like thunder, and the sound shook the mountains.

Then someone shouted, "Talon Sun! Then the crowd shouted in unison.

Qi Xuansu only felt that the big trees under him were shaken three times, and he secretly wondered in his heart: "The people of the 'Heavenly Court' want to gather the people of the rivers and lakes to deal with Qingluanwei?" Although there is no shortage of people who have acquired more than 1,000 people, such a number of people should not be underestimated, no wonder Qingluanwei's pro-army Governor's Mansion wants to mobilize three thousand households, but in my opinion, I am afraid that three thousand households are not enough. ”

At this moment, "Feng Bo" raised his hands and pressed down gently, and a mountain wind whistled by.

Everyone felt the breeze blowing in their faces and had to keep silent.

In an instant, silence returned to the hill.

Qi Xuansu's heart froze, is this the means of heaven and man?
