Dong E was depressed because she didn't participate in last night's action, Liu Ximei held her hand and comforted: "This matter is not trivial, many people are easy to be discovered, in case the other party escapes, my sister-in-law can't take revenge and can't be at ease for the rest of her life." It was my idea not to let you go, and it has nothing to do with you, Big Brother Saint. ”

Liu Ximei took all the responsibility on herself, Dong E suddenly had nothing to say, and said aggrievedly: "Then next time there is such a bustle, remember to bring us two with you." ”

"Okay, it's my sister-in-law's fault this time, I'll definitely bring you two next time." Liu Ximei hugged her to soothe.

Dong E couldn't stay idle, said that she wouldn't let her go out, and after a while, she went to the courtyard of the inn to inquire about the news.

After a short time, he came back and said that the entire city of Fanzhou was completely blocked, and no one could go out.

It is also true that no movement can be heard outside the inn except for the marching of officers and soldiers and the trampling of horses.

There was a sudden noisy sound from the inn opposite, and it should be the officers and soldiers who went in to check.

Liu Ximei hurriedly re-applied makeup to Dong E and Yu Chiyao, including herself, so that she was as unnoticeable as an ordinary village woman.

As soon as it was cleaned up, the door of the inn opened, and a pair of officers and soldiers broke in.

"It's all out and stand, we're going to search here." The leader shouted.

"It's a shame, we're here to attend the Heroes Club, and we look like suspects, hey." Some people move slowly, unwilling to cooperate.

The officers and soldiers stepped forward and pushed the man: "Why, if you are not convinced, go to our official mansion, I think you look like a suspect." ”

"You dare." It's all in the martial arts that people are angry and irritable, and the man is about to fight when he stares.

The innkeeper hurriedly ran up to play the round: "The official is angry, the hero is angry, the people who come to participate in the hero meeting are all their own families, why bother to be rude, they are all angry." ”

The officers and men had no evidence, and the inspection was also a formality, and after playing prestige, and making a mess of every guest room, they left in a rage and went to the next place to show off their might.

In the lazy afternoon, everyone took a nap in their respective rooms.

Gu Shengchao suddenly thought of a question, and when he saw that Liu Ximei hadn't fallen asleep, he asked softly: "There are branches in Miaochun Pavilion all over the place, but I have never heard of their helper or leader, who is secretly controlling the daily operation of Miaochun Pavilion?" ”

Liu Ximei thought for a while and said: "I only know that the pavilion masters of the local branches cover the sky with one hand and have the supreme right to kill and take away, just like Dong Youfu did back then, but there will be exceptions." ”

"What kind of exception?" The ancient saint was super curious.

Liu Ximei was a little embarrassed, pursed her lips or said softly: "Just like the so-called four beauties we called back then, as long as the reputation can be spread in Miaochun Pavilion, even if the pavilion master is displeased, he will not dare to deal with it casually, at most he will be hungry for a few days or locked in a small black house to threaten, and there will be no danger of his life." ”

"In this way, there are still people behind the Miaochun Pavilion in various places who are monitoring, so that the pavilion master cannot act lawlessly and recklessly." Gu Shengchao guessed.

Liu Ximei sighed and said: "Maybe, but it is too difficult to get ahead in Miaochun Pavilion, and the hardships are not something ordinary people can imagine, there are too many girls who died tragically in the hands of the pavilion master and are not known to outsiders, so we secretly call the pavilion master the living king of Yama." ”

"You ......" Gu Shengchao stopped talking and smiled: "Forget it, don't mention him in the past, let's sleep." ”

Liu Ximei approached him, grabbed his arm and said softly: "I know that you came this time by the emperor's will, as long as I can help you, I won't care what you ask." I killed Dong Youfu last night, and I have a mustard in my heart, as long as you don't mind, I don't care. ”

Gu Shengchao hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "I just wanted to ask if you have any contact with very special people, if you don't want to say, just if I didn't ask, I also guessed on a whim." ”

Liu Ximei recalled seriously, waited for a while, and said: "There are all kinds of people we can see every day in Miaochun Pavilion, and we have become accustomed to never asking more questions that we shouldn't ask, but I don't have an impression of this." It's just that I've been to a place with Zhu Meier, one of the four beauties, and it's very special. ”

"Can you tell me about that?" Gu Shengchao patted her hand.

Liu Ximei snuggled in Gu Shengchao's arms: "We took five or six days to get there, and on the last day, the carriage was covered with black cloth, and we couldn't see the outside. When we got out of the car and found that we had come to a large mansion, the courtyard wall was very high and guarded by soldiers, and the two of us and the other sisters danced first. ”

"That's right." Liu Ximei remembered something: "That room is also very large, no, it should be called a palace more appropriately, there is a young man sitting on a high platform watching." ”

"Is there a step on that high platform? Where is it? Gu Shengchao asked.

Liu Ximei compared the painting while thinking about it, and told the general direction.

Gu Shengchao asked some other questions about the mansion, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Is that place you have been to the Martial King Palace?" ”

Liu Ximei was also stunned: "No, that young man's health is very poor, how can he lead the world-famous Martial King Palace?" ”

She thought about it and said: "It's not impossible, people in the palace call him the head, and when he returns to the inner courtyard, his family and servants call him His Royal Highness again. ”

Gu Shengchao briefly recounted his experience in the Wuwang Palace that night, and explained: "The founder of the Wuwang Palace was originally the emperor's younger brother, and the position of head has always only been passed on to the eldest son and grandson, so it is normal for the head to not know martial arts. ”

"I see." Liu Ximei continued: "Although the head of that family is young, his body is obviously indulging in lust and weakness, he doesn't have to wait for his uncle to kill him, maybe he will die early." ”

"Have you ever been there again?" Gu Shengchao asked tentatively.

Liu Ximei shook her head: "My strengths are the method of pen and ink Danqing and Ding furnace, Zhu Meier is good at singing and dancing, so she went to it many times later, and I didn't go to that place again." ”

Gu Shengchao thought about it and said: "The Fanzhou Heroes Association has let the world see that the relationship between the Wuwang Palace and the Miaochun Pavilion is close, combined with what the lady said, there is no doubt that the mastermind behind the Miaochun Pavilion is the Wuwang Palace. Miaochun Pavilion is operating in various places, no one dares to mess with it, and the power behind it is absolutely strong, it turned out to be the industry of the Martial King Palace, but I didn't expect this. ”

"What are we going to do next?" Liu Ximei supported her upper body with her elbows, and looked at Gu Shengchao with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"I'll write a document to the emperor to inform me about this matter first, and tomorrow if the hero meeting can go on as usual, go over and read it first and then make plans." Gu Shengchao got up and wrote a letter first.

Liu Ximei sat on the edge of the bed and said: "Doesn't Xianggong have a righteous brother in Wuzong, if nothing else, he should also go to Fanzhou." Wu Sect is a big sect, the Martial King Hall must not be slack, you definitely get more news from him. ”

"The lady who knows me is also!" The ancient saint was overjoyed, and excitedly hugged Liu Ximei and kissed wildly......

The city of Fanzhou was sealed for a whole day, and it was not until dawn on the second day that everyone was allowed to enter and leave freely.

Gu Shengchao couldn't wait to go out of the city and hand over the letter to a soldier, and asked him to return to the capital and hand it over to Fan Lixin to the emperor.

He walked around the city and found that in addition to the disciples of the Seven Star Cliff, there were also disciples of the Poison Sect and the Wu Sect, and even the Baisha City in Beihu and the Yunqi Palace in the Xileng Kingdom had sent disciples.

There are many inns in the city, and it is not realistic to ask them one by one, I don't know if Xian Yu Tie and Shui Linglong are here, and Gu Shengchao is even more looking forward to the hero meeting that starts at night.

While waiting patiently, the night finally approached, and Gu Shengchao led the remaining two soldiers, as well as Dong E, who was dressed as a man, and the four of them went to participate together.

Because Liu Ximei was afraid that her identity would be exposed, she would not go if she didn't go to Wei Chiyao, only Dong E was eager to try, and Liu Ximei had to dress her in men's clothes and paint her makeup.

The invitation card was displayed, and someone led four people inside.

Gu Shengchao originally thought that the small hill he saw was all the hills, but when he went up the hill, he found that there was a cave inside.

The hill is surrounded by a circle to cover the inside, and the green grass and flowers bloom in the potted valley, and no matter what the people inside do, it is impossible for those outside to see.

Sitting on the gentle slope facing north and south, the important guests are gathered there, Gu Shengchao looked over, each sect sat at a table, except for the head of the Wuwang Hall in the center, the remaining eight sects were arranged in order at the bottom.

There are many people who are familiar with Gu Shengchao, Baili Huan, Xianyu Iron, and Shui Linglong are among them.

Following the person in charge of the reception of the Wuwang Palace, Gu Shengchao and the others arranged at the bottom of the valley to the south, and each table could seat eight people, just enough to accommodate two small sects to sit down.

In the center is a tall jousting arena that everyone can clearly see.

If they come, they will be safe, and not long after Gu Shengchao and they sat down, the sect at the same table was also guided. During the chat, I learned that they were called "tile gangs".

To put it bluntly, it is to build a house for people, as long as you find them, the materials and labor you need are readily available, and you only need the owner to pay the money, and you don't have to worry too much about the house to deliver it on time.

At the time of the lantern, busy people hung red lanterns everywhere, adding a bit of magnificence to this hero's meeting.

Under the noisy sound of people, Qingyuan's melodious flute sounded, and the banquet officially began.

The leader of the tile gang is named Cui Thirty, and according to him, he gave birth to his father when he was thirty years old, hence the name.

Cui Thirty is good at drinking, and frequently raises his glass to invite Gu Shengchao to drink together.

Gu Shengchao was thinking about how to get out of here, and then meet his righteous brother Baili Huan without being suspected, when he was suddenly interrupted by people's exclamations.

He looked up, and more than a dozen pianists appeared in the central martial arts arena at some point, and as the pipa took the lead in plucking, the rest of the instruments followed.

In the center, more than a dozen brightly dressed dancers inexplicably appeared, dancing to the rhythm of the music, like fairies in the sky.

Cui 30 stared at the dancing girl led by Cui Shi and suddenly exclaimed: "This beauty, isn't it Zhu Mei'er, the head of the four beauties?" ”

Someone next to him corrected: "The head of the four beauties is the one named Liu Ximei!" ”

Another person said disdainfully: "You are more than ten years old, and now the beauty of the new row, Zhu Meier is in the first place, and it has long been different." ”

Gu Shengchao watched carefully, Zhu Meier was indeed different from Liu Ximei.

If Liu Ximei shows the unique charm of a mature woman, Zhu Meier is particularly enchanting.

The coquettish that can't be concealed between gestures.
