Wang Houyi clapped his hands: "That's right, you think, anyway, now you have to wait for the martial arts conference before you can go back, why are you in a hurry to find Doctor Hua now?" He will also go to watch the martial arts conference when he arrives, so when the time comes, it is not too late to ask him to help look at the water in the bottle, so why bother him now? ”

Bing'er said happily: "Yes, you are right, I will go and tell my father and mother." Wang Hou asked, "Can you tell me clearly?" Bing'er pouted: "Who is as stupid as you, just a sentence of 'Hua Shen Doctor also participates in the martial arts conference' can explain things clearly, which makes you sigh for a long time." Ignoring Wang Hou, he turned around and left.

The effort was not great, the white boss came over, and saw Wang Houfang's door knocked lightly, Wang Hou opened the door and saw that it was him, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be the white master, what are you doing?" Master Bai asked, "Wang Shaoxia, can I come into the room and talk to you?" Wang Hou hurriedly turned sideways and let in.

Bai Zhangmen entered the room, Wang Hou poured a cup of tea for him, Bai Zhangmen took a sip of the teacup, and asked slowly: "Wang Shaoxia, Bing'er has told me just now, this matter, I will trouble you." Wang Hou said: "I have only known Hua Shenyi for five days, and I can't talk about any friendship, I can only try my best to help you then, if it doesn't work, then I need to go to him in person." ”

Master Bai said again: "Wang Shaoxia is willing to help, Bai is very grateful." Dare to ask Wang Shaoxia, but he also participated in the martial arts conference? Wang Hou said: "I just want to see the excitement, I am low in martial arts, and I just accompany my eldest brother and friends here." ”

Bai Zhangmen saw that he was born weak, and he didn't take it to heart, but last night Wang Hou took out the golden order, although I don't know whether it is true or not, but if this inn is really run by the Tea and Horse Gang, it should be true, and he arched his hand at the moment: "Then don't bother Wang Shaoxia, since I decided not to go to the ghosts, then I am ready to return to the capital, I don't know which political envoy Wang Shaoxia will compete in when he arrives?" ”

Wang Hou was stunned: "What are the rules of the martial arts conference?" It is not clear under it. Bai Zhangmen smiled and said the rules of the martial arts conference: this conference is divided into two rounds, the first round is Beijing, Nanjing and thirteen political envoys, a total of fifteen competition areas, all the contestants must compete in the corresponding competition area. Then the top 10 in each region are eligible to go to the West with Zheng He, but if they want to enter the finals, they must be the top three in their region, so that a total of 45 people will enter the second round of the competition.

However, these forty-five people will be divided into three groups, and each group will determine three people, and finally nine people will compete for the top three together, and the top three will be named "General Mingwei" by the imperial court. But this is still not over, the three Mingwei generals and the barbarians, the foreign envoys have to compete again, but this is the second round, the first round can't win the top three, and they can't enter the second round. Therefore, this martial arts conference can be described as unprecedented, very beautiful.

Wang Hou listened enthusiastically: "Thank you for your guidance, if I participate, my hometown is Luzhou, I belong to Nanzhili, maybe I am a political envoy in Shandong...... I wish the white boss can enter the top three. "Bai Zhangmen is cold by nature, but he is so close to Wang Hou, he is already full of confidence in his Xuanbing Sword and Xuanbing Swordsmanship, although he saw Zhou Zhijing defeat Guiyang Lao San in two moves last night, and mistakenly thought that she did not defeat the fourth and fifth children in one move, but he did not put it in his eyes.

At this time, I was happy to hear what Wang Hou said, but I didn't show my face, and said with a smile: "Thank you Wang Shaoxia for your kind words, my Snow Mountain faction is a remote faction, not to mention the few people, and there is also a lack of communication with the martial arts, this time I just want to communicate...... Wang Shaoxia, then let's decide, I will definitely be in Yunnan when the time comes. ”

Not long after the white boss left, Liu Hanyan rushed in: "Nerd, where are we going to play today?" Wang Hou asked, "Where do you want to play?" ”

Liu Hanyan pulled Wang Hou: "I don't know, that's why I came to ask you, think about it, what's fun here?" Wang Hou said: "Miss Zhou, you call her over, I have something to ask her." Liu Hanyan asked rhetorically: "What are you looking for her?" ”

"Today is the day when the hundred-year-old golden melon arrives in the capital, although I know that the Tea Horse Gang has no intention of snatching, but they will still fake robbery, the salt gang is related to the sister-in-law, although when we went to Rizhao, we didn't have a good impression of the Huai'an rudder vegetable buns and bamboo poles we met, but since I met the sister-in-law, I don't want the salt gang to have any casualties, so I want to ask Miss Zhou what to do."

It was the first time for Liu Hanyan to see him with such a serious expression, so he couldn't say anything, so he went next door and called Zhou Jijing over. Zhou Zhijing frowned: "I don't know where it will be intercepted, you also know that the helper has already said it, just for show, there will be no casualties, what are you worried about?" ”

Wang Houdao: "It's okay anyway, let's go and see, if something misses, it won't be good for your two gangs." Liu Hanyan came to his senses and shouted, "Okay, let's leave now." ”

Zhou Zhijing didn't have anything to do, she just wanted to get closer to Wang Hou and Liu Hanyan in the inn, and she was also worried about her father, after all, she was going to intercept the trouble, and she really wanted to fight, and no one could guarantee that she would retreat, and at this time, seeing that the two of them were proposing to go, she said: "Well, the helm of the Salt Gang is near the lotus pond, and we must pass through the Lugou Bridge from Zhending, so let's go there and wait, the Lugou Bridge is also one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing, so we should play." ”

Wang Houdao: "Today is the second day of the ninth month, we should also leave, otherwise we will eat and drink here for nothing, and Shopkeeper Deng will be distressed to death." ”

Zhou Zhijing said: "Wang Gongzi, there are still thirteen days before the martial arts conference today, you don't live here, where are you going?" Wang Hou replied: "Just go with the situation, I'm going to go to the helm of the Salt Gang to see if the eldest brother has arrived." ”

Zhou Jingjing's face darkened, and Liu Hanyan took her hand: "Sister Zhou, you go to the Salt Gang with us, okay?" Zhou Zhijing shook her head: "That's impossible, our two factions are incompatible, Wang Gongzi, after today, we may not be able to see each other...... Take care! ”

Liu Hanyan was not happy: "Sister Zhou, what do you mean by this, aren't you ready to ignore us?" Zhou Jingjing's expression was even more gloomy: "Sister Liu, you don't understand the reason, I really want to be with you, it's just ...... I couldn't do it. ”

Liu Hanyan couldn't help it, so he stomped his feet: "Let's talk about it after today, Sister Zhou is happy, let's go." Pulled Zhou Jingjing out of the door.

This place is more than thirty miles away from Lugou Bridge, Wang Hou called Li Zhixian and Zhuang Minhui out, and told them, and the two naturally had nothing to say. He said to Shopkeeper Deng again, Shopkeeper Deng kept a few words, and when he saw that they decided to leave, he didn't say anything more. However, when everyone said goodbye to the white shopkeeper, Bing'er looked reluctant, and held Zhou Zhijing's arm: "Sister Zhou, we are in the Yunnan ring at the martial arts conference, you must come then." ”

Zhou Zhijing nodded and reluctantly broke up with her. Xiao Er had already pulled the carriage out, Wang Hou drove the car, Liu Hanyan, Zhou Zhijing, Li Zhixian, and Jin Minhui sat in the carriage thoughtfully, and talked very little, especially Zhou Zhijing was in a trance.

Along the main road, it took less than an hour for the carriage to arrive at the Lugou Bridge. The Lugou Bridge was built in the 29th year of Jin Dading (1189) and rebuilt in the 10th year of Yongle (1412). Wang Hou stopped the carriage, and the four people in the carriage got off the car, only to see a stone tablet at the head of the bridge, written on Lu Gou Xiaoyue, which was inscribed by Jin Zhangzong.

There are more than 100 pillars on both sides of the bridge, and the stone lions are carved on the column heads, and the expressions are vivid. Liu Hanyan stroked them one by one, and he really couldn't put it down. The bridge is more than two zhang wide, everyone stands on the bridge, holding the railing, watching the river water under the bridge is crystal clear, flowing in a loud voice, and the willow trees on both sides of the bridge are shady, as if they are on a boat.

Suddenly, at this moment, a horse rushed out of the willow forest, and in a blink of an eye went to the bridge, and everyone saw that the person on the horse was the master of Zhou Helm. Zhou Jingjing shouted: "Dad, are you here?" ”

Lord Zhou Helm hugged his fist to Wang Houyi: "Wang Gongzi, Jing'er, why are you here too?" Wang Hou hugged his fists and saluted back: "Lord Zhou, it turns out that you are ambushed here, hehe, what a coincidence." ”

"We got the news that Meng Rong, who was really determined by the salt gang, set off from Zhuozhou early in the morning, and it is estimated that there will be two hours to get here, and I have already brought fifty of my men to ambush in the willow forest, this is an act, you don't have to do it when you come, just in the carriage, don't come out during the fight, so as not to hurt yourself." Lord Zhou still didn't know the level of Wang Hou's martial arts, and was worried that once he was injured, it would be difficult to explain to the gang leader.

Wang Hou nodded: "We know, the helmsman, you are busy with you, let's take a look at the scenery first, and then go to the carriage to rest in a while." Lord Zhou Duo looked at his daughter: "Jing'er, you protect the prince and them, remember that you don't need to make a move, so as not to have an accident." Seeing that she answered, he turned his horse's head and returned to the willow forest.

At noon, there were relatively few people, and the carriage stopped in the middle of the bridge, and Wang Hou and the other five people sat in the carriage and waited anxiously. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Zhou Jingjing shouted: "It's coming!" Everyone lifted the curtain and saw a group of more than 20 horsemen coming quickly, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the center of the bridge.

There was a shout in the willow forest, and forty or fifty people rushed out, and soon blocked the way. Lord Zhou Helm shouted: "You still don't get off your horse and surrender? The twenty or so horsemen all stopped their horses, and the black monk's robes of the people on the horses all showed straight back knives, the back of the knife was straight, the blade was bent towards the back of the knife, and the tip of the knife was protruding and emitting a cold light, and some of them shouted in surprise: "Who are you?" Dare to block the road and rob on the outskirts of the capital? ”

Zhou Duo was in charge, everyone on the other side was dressed as a monk, not a real accent, but like people in the coastal area of Zhejiang, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and asked loudly: "Who are you?" ”
