More than a dozen young men and women rushed to the bamboo hut one after another. At this time, all of a sudden, the bell rang "Dang Dang Dang". More than 20 young men and women turned around and ran towards the bamboo house, only to see people walking towards the bamboo house in all directions. Deng Bingchun said: "The sect leader gathers the crowd to give training, let's go in!" "Take Xiang Yan into the house. After passing a hallway, a large hall suddenly appeared in front of me. The hall is huge enough to accommodate a thousand people. Xiang Yan has lived in the palace for a long time, and there are many halls, but such a huge hall is also rare.

But I saw groups of young men and women, dressed in five colors, standing in five directions. The blue, white, black, and yellow were all teenagers, and the red ones were girls, each carrying a long sword on their backs, and each team had about 100 people. At the other end of the hall, there are two bamboo chairs side by side, covered with brocade cushions. There were dozens of men and women standing on either side, the younger ones in their thirties and the older ones in their sixties and seventies, all of whom had no blades on them. There were five or six hundred people gathered in the hall, and there was not a single sound, not even a cough.

After a while, the bell rang nine times in a row, and the footsteps sounded in the inner hall, and ten men came out. They are all about thirty years old, and their clothes are divided into five colors, and they are divided into chairs on both sides and stand at one side, with five people on each side. After a long while, the bell "bored" loudly, followed by hundreds of silver bells in unison. Everyone in the hall knelt down together and said in unison: "The sect leader will enjoy the immortal blessing forever, and the longevity will be the same as the sky." ”

Deng Bingchun pulled Xiang Yan and made him kneel, but Xiang Yan had to kneel. When I looked secretly, I saw a man and a woman coming out of the inner hall and sitting in chairs, and the bell rang again, and everyone slowly stood up. The man was very old, with white temples hanging down his chest, and his face was full of scars and wrinkles, and he was extremely ugly. The woman was a beautiful young woman, in her early twenties, smiling slightly, charming and gorgeous. Xiang Yan sighed secretly in his heart: "It's really a flower stuck in cow dung." ”

A man in green clothes on the left took two steps, holding a piece of green paper in his hand, and recited aloud: "Congratulations to the Sermon of the Leader of the Hong Sect of Mercy and Grace and Majesty of the Four Directions: 'Together, we can make a city, and the world is incomparable'!" Everyone in the hall also recited in unison: "Together, we can become a city, and the world is incomparable!" Xiang Yan was peeking at the beauty, and everyone read it out in unison, which startled him.

The man in green clothes continued to read: "The sect leader's immortal blessing is sky-high, and the sect members are loyal to the headshot; The leader of the sect steadfasts the ship of 10,000 years and rides the wind and waves to be heroic; The dragon flew to the sky and looked up, and the voice of the sect leader covered all directions; Everyone is born for the master, and everyone dies for the master; The orders of the sect leader are obeyed, and the sect leader is like the sun and moonlight! The man read a sentence, and everyone read it. After everyone finished reciting, they shouted in unison: "The sermon of the Sect Master, always keep it in mind, make meritorious contributions to defeat the enemy, and nothing can be done." The boys and men screamed especially vigorously. Sect Leader Hong had an ugly face and an indifferent expression, but the beautiful man beside him was smiling and chanting. After everyone finished reading, there was no sound in the hall.

Sect Master Hong glanced at Xiang Yan, his face was full of anger, he snorted, and said coldly: "You are Xiang Yan?" Is that your idea to fight Ah Quan? That's a lot of guts. Xiang Yan was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

The beauty next to her smiled: "Don't scare the child." The person who wants to arrest me is the emperor, not him, what are you angry at him? "This beauty's voice is crisp, coquettish, and extremely beautiful. He raised his left hand again, beckoned to Yan, and said with a smile: "Little brother, come here." Xiang Yan was startled and said in a low voice: "Me? Na Liren smiled: "That's right, it's called you." Xiang Yan tremblingly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said: "The sect leader and his wife will enjoy eternal immortal blessings, and their longevity will be the same as that of heaven." ”

Mrs. Hong smiled: "This kid is very well-behaved. Who taught you to add the word 'and Mrs.' under the master? Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment and did not answer. Mrs. Hong put away her smile and asked again, "Who taught you that?" Xiang Yan replied, "What is there to teach this?" Since the sect leader 'immortal blessing is eternal, longevity and Tianqi', shouldn't the lady also be 'immortal blessing eternal, longevity and Tianqi'? When Mrs. Hong heard this, she laughed like a flower branch, and Sect Master Hong couldn't help but smile, twisting her long beard in her hand, nodding and smiling. Mrs. Hong smiled: "Those three words, did you come up with them and add them yourself?" Xiang Yan said, "Yes." ”

Mrs. Hong said again: "You said that the emperor planned to snatch me and Chen Yuanyuan to the palace, what did the emperor tell you?" Xiang Yan said: "The emperor heard that Mrs. and Chen Yuan are round and beautiful, and he plans to grab the two of them into the palace." It's just that Chen Yuanyuan is the princess of Pingxi, and the emperor's wife has a bad reputation, so he sent me and Xiaobao to find people from Muwangfu and Mongolia and Tibet, and asked them to send his wife and Chen Yuanyuan to the palace. Hearing this, Sect Leader Hong's face darkened again. Mrs. Hong said: "I have no reputation in the world, how did the emperor know that there is a person like me?" ”

Wei Xiaobao has already given an answer to this question, and said to Yan Yihulu: "I don't know, the emperor should have his own sources!" Mrs. Hong said again: "Chen Yuanyuan may have been beautiful before, but she is at least forty this year, right?" Can she still make the emperor worry? Xiang Yan said: "I don't know, I haven't seen Chen Yuanyuan, I don't know what she looks like." However, the emperor said that the beauties in the world are the first and the lady is the first, and Chen Yuanyuan is the second. Mrs. Hong suddenly smiled at Sect Leader Hong and said, "Sect Master, shall we go and arrest Chen Yuanyuan?" ”
