After the defeat of Yangzhou, Luo Xiaoxiao became more and more mature, and the gestures at the banquet exuded the bearing of a top grandmaster, and even his face was a little more delicate, obviously he had made great progress in martial arts recently.

Of course, Xue Yang was in the first seat, Luo Xiaoxiao sat in the second seat, and in addition to Jia Gui, the sect leader of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Wei Zhongshi, the sect leader of the Demon Xiang Sect, and Lan Tian, the sect leader of the Holy Pole Sect, were actually in Chengdu Mansion.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, the two sects of the Holy Gate, six realms, and eight sect masters actually gathered five, which can be regarded as the most solemn gathering of the Holy Gate in recent years, except for the ten-year conference of the Holy Gate.

There are so many big names, Tang Qian, who was quite a tricky character in Chen Qiuming's eyes at the beginning, was only reduced to singing and dancing and pouring wine tonight, and even her father Tang Dao could only sit at the last seat.

After the banquet, Luo Xiaoxiao invited the other four sect masters to the side hall for tea, obviously to discuss things with the rest of the sect masters.

The Holy Pole Sect Master Lantian is Luo Xiaoxiao's uncle, and he is the most doting on Luo Xiaoxiao, after tasting a sip of tea, he asked: "Xiaoxiao, if you have anything to say boldly, it is absolutely incumbent on your uncle to help!" ”

Luo Xiaoxiao first smiled at Lantian Yanran, and after thanking him, he said: "Sect masters, you must have all heard about the defeat of my Yin Sect in Yangzhou, if it weren't for Sect Master Xue's beloved disciple Chen Qiuming desperately rescued him and defeated nine grandmasters one after another, Xiaoxiao would have already lost his fragrance and jade." ”

After speaking, Luo Xiaoxiao also stood up and saluted Xue Yang solemnly, which was regarded as a thank you, thanking Xue Yang for cultivating a good apprentice.

Although Xue Yang sat still, his face was slightly pale.

Luo Xiaoxiao continued: "The strength of my Holy Gate is actually not inferior to the Buddha and the Dao, but it has been repeatedly frustrated in the battle with the righteous path forces, and the reason for this is that although the various factions of my Holy Gate belong to the same sect, they are working separately, and even killing each other, making it difficult to form a joint force. ”

After listening to this, the faces of several sect masters did not change, and Luo's novels were already old and commonplace.

Luo Xiaoxiao continued: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is falling, the heroes are rising, the princes are fighting, the world is in chaos, and all factions in the rivers and lakes are also supporting or attaching to a certain prince, the north gate obviously supports Zhu Wen, the Buddha supports Xu Wen, the Taoist gate supports Ma Ying, and even the Qingcheng faction of Taoism is secretly supporting Wang Jian, should my holy gate stay out of the matter?" ”

"If this is the case, when the world is calm, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my holy gate to stand on the rivers and lakes, and I can only retreat back to Nan Shao for the rest of my life. In this way, not to mention that I am sorry for the thousands of years of struggle of my Holy Gate ancestors, even if I am a contemporary Holy Gate people, how can I be willing? ”

Everyone present was finally moved, and Xue Yang was silent for a moment and said, "Then in your opinion, what should it be?" The most powerful princes in the world have basically been divided, do you want to replace the Qingcheng faction to support Wang Jian? ”

Luo Xiaoxiao shook his head when he heard this: "Wang Jian, this person is content with pleasure, and has no enterprising heart, others don't look down on it, and my holy gate naturally doesn't look down on it, I look for you tonight, naturally there are better candidates!" ”

Lantian asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”

Luo Xiaoxiao was not shocked: "It is Xue Yang's predecessor's apprentice, Chen Qiuming." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Luo Xiaoxiao analyzed: "Famous teachers produce high apprentices, in terms of intelligence, martial arts, character and temperament, Chen Qiuming is the best choice, not to mention that he and the son of the Tianshan Long family, Long Si, and the son of the Lingnan Song family, Song Wuji, have a good relationship, and even the relationship with Bai Dao is good, if he is on the throne, the voice of the opponents in the world will not be too big." ”

"As for the territory, Sichuan and Shu have ready-made thousands of miles of fertile land, with the strength of my Holy Gate, it is not difficult to replace Wang Jian. In fact, the most difficult thing is that I am worried that Chen Qiuming himself is unwilling. ”

Lantian was surprised: "Is there anyone in the world who doesn't want to be the emperor? ”

Jia Gui smiled: "Of course there is, if you let the Lord of the Xue Sect be the emperor, he will never be willing." You don't know Chen Qiuming, I have been in contact with him a few times, and the little Jia Huan also has a deep friendship with him, as far as I know, Qiu Ming may not be willing to be the emperor. ”

Luo Xiaoxiao looked at Xue Yang and said with a smile: "Chen Qiuming is under the teaching of the Xue Sect Master, everything else is good, but his temperament is a little bit like a person in my Holy Gate, but a bit like a Dao Sect cultivator, he naturally does nothing at a young age and does whatever he wants. ”

Xue Yang's face was a little unbearable, he knew Chen Qiuming best among the people present, of course he knew that what Luo Xiaoxiao said was true, this kid, if he hadn't forced it, I am afraid that he would still be cowering in the valley of Beppu.

Xue Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Qiu Ming's personality may not be the best candidate, so it's better to think about it in the long run?" ”

Luo Xiaoxiao shook his head and said: "Master Xuemen, I insist that Qiu Ming is the best candidate, although his personality is a little lazy, he is compassionate and compassionate, and cares about the world. As long as the seniors come out, know it with reason, move it with affection, let him think of the people in the world, and come out to take responsibility, he will definitely be able to convince him. ”

After Luo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the scene suddenly quieted down, including Xue Yang, who was seriously considering the feasibility of what Luo Xiaoxiao said.

Wei Zhongshi, the sect leader of the Demon Sect who had not spoken all night, suddenly spoke: "Brother Xue, Xiaoxiao's words are reasonable, and the current situation does not allow the people of my Holy Gate to retreat. Moreover, there is a precedent of Wu Cao, which proves that the people in my holy gate are not unable to be emperors, nor are they unable to govern the world well. ”

"I don't know about Chen Qiuming, but he can fight hard for Luo Xiaoxiao Nine Grandmasters, he is not a person without responsibility, as for whether he is willing, if you go out, will he dare to listen?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Xue Yang, obviously agreeing with this opinion, Xue Yang said helplessly: "The bad guy is missing now, let's talk about it when I find him." ”

Treat others with himself, in the final analysis, Xue Yang still doesn't want to persecute Chen Qiuming too much, if he really doesn't want to, Xue Yang doesn't want to be strong, it doesn't matter who he is the emperor, now that he is a great grandmaster, how can he be afraid of anyone?

Of course, these were just what he was thinking in his heart, and even if he had been promoted to the Great Grandmaster, he didn't tell anyone that the next time he dealt with Xiao Dilu, he wanted to catch his opponent off guard.

It was also the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chen Qiuming came to Womaqiao alone.

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, the bright moonlight illuminates the endless flow of pedestrians on the bridge, and also shines on the surface of the Luoshui River sparkling, Chen Qiuming stands on the marble railing on the side of the bridge with his hands, looking back on the Mid-Autumn Festival night last year, he is a fledgling, drinking with Long Si in the Dong family restaurant, witnessing Duanmu Xixi drifting down on a bamboo raft, like a fairy.

Chen Qiuming suddenly fantasized that if Lao Tzu broke through the Great Master one day, captured Duanmu Xixi and Luo Xiaoxiao to be maids in Yougu Beppu, and let a fairy and a demon girl pour water and laundry and fold quilts all day long, then life must be very interesting.

After wandering around Luoyang City for a few days, using the "Immortal Seal Method" to collect news for a few days, Chen Qiuming did not capture any clues of the Daming Zun Sect, and planned to go north to Guanwai if he still couldn't find a trace in a few days.

Since the battle between the master Xue Yang and the Khitan national teacher Xiao Dilu, there has been no news for nearly a year, Chen Qiuming decided to go to the Khitan territory to have a look, even if he can't find the master, it is good to inquire about the news.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat the Great Grandmaster, Chen Qiuming would even go directly to Xiao Dilu to ask for someone.

Chen Qiuming actually made a mistake in the past few days, and now he has no consciousness that he is already a celebrity in the rivers and lakes, thinking that he is still a nobody who is not well-known, and he pretends to be a fledgling offspring all day long, but he doesn't know that a lot of his information, including the "Leyi" sword in his hand, has long been known to many people, and the news that the "evil king" Chen Qiuming appeared in Luoyang City has already spread rapidly in Luoyang City.

In addition, Luoyang City has been the nest of the North Gate and the Great Ming Zun Sect for many years, but Chen Qiuming has not been cautious in going deep into the tiger's den, let alone knowing that these two top forces in the rivers and lakes have long wanted to get rid of themselves.

From this point of view, although the detection ability of the "Immortal Seal Method" is top-notch, compared to Cihang Jianzhai's "Sword Heart Tongming" mental method, it lacks an early warning effect, and it is impossible to distinguish whether the gaze around you is good or malicious.

What's more, now he is not a master of the Grandmaster, and he has long been regarded as an ordinary person by Chen Qiuming, where would he care about their gaze?

Therefore, Chen Qiuming didn't know that a crisis against him was quietly brewing.

The first to have ill intentions towards Chen Qiuming were the good mother, Wumingzi and other people who had disappeared in the rivers and lakes for many days. For Chen Qiuming, who single-handedly destroyed the good situation of the Guangming Sect and made the Great Ming Zun Sect once again become a rat crossing the street, the good mother naturally hated him to the core, not to mention, many of the Grandmasters of the Great Ming Zun Sect, including Atom Xie Yu, all died tragically in the hands of Chen Qiuming and others.

Another force that has ill intentions towards Chen Qiuming is Beimen.

Chen Qiuming has never met with Beimen, let alone made a feud. But Chen Qiuming, as the Grandmaster of the South Gate and Xue Yang's apprentice, how could the North Gate have a good impression of Chen Qiuming?

I didn't kill Xue Yang last time, and it's not bad to kill Chen Qiuming this time, otherwise Chen Qiuming will become a threat to the North Gate sooner or later. But Chen Qiuming's strength and record are there, and it may not be easy to kill him.

So, under the stringing and bridging of the caring people, the good mother of the Daming Zun Sect and the military master of the North Gate met in a private manor somewhere in Luoyang.

As the party who took the initiative to find it, the good mother took the lead in speaking: "I haven't seen you for many days, the innocent girl is becoming more and more radiant and moving, and the heart method of the Jade Girl Sect really lives up to its reputation." ”

Wujian was too lazy to talk to the good mother, and said bluntly: "The good mother smiled, I don't know if the good mother is here today, what do you have to say?" ”

The good mother was a little unhappy when she heard this, as the top grandmaster in the world, the good mother's heart was undoubtedly proud. If it weren't for the power of the Great Ming Sect alone, there was no complete certainty that Chen Qiuming would stay in Luoyang City forever, how could he deign to meet a junior today?

I didn't expect that my hot face was sticking to my cold ass instead.

But in order to kill Chen Qiuming, the good mother had to put her unhappiness behind her, and directly informed her intentions: "As the military advisor of the North Gate, the Unsullied Sister must have also known the news that the thief Chen Qiuming of the South Gate appeared in Luoyang, I don't know how the Unsullied Girl feels?" ”
