Xiao Ming just covered his hair with a green cloth today, and he was only wearing a white coat with a placket, everything was just clean, he hadn't cleaned himself up for a long time, and when he married Bing'er, he had to follow the local customs, smearing white powder and red lips, and now he can finally be refreshing.

The weather in early winter was very refreshing, and the official road to Qingyunzhuang was also very smooth, Xiao Ming swept away the sand and dust in the northwest of his heart, and finally felt that the air in the Central Plains was comfortable.

Their carriage soon arrived at Qingyunzhuang, and there were constantly Jianghu men riding fast horses and walking on the road, and many people had joyful faces on their faces, wondering what would be the benefit of going to the conference? Xiao Ming became more and more curious about this.

There are countless carriages, horses and mounts parked in front of the manor of Qingyunzhuang, and the strong men are very busy, and they don't need any invitations to participate in this anti-gold volunteer conference, just report their names, Xiao Ming asked Gu Xiaoliu to go and report their names, Gu Xiaoliu came back and grinned, it's very strange to pull out the money, can't you give you candy if you report a name?

Gu Xiaoliu said: "What I reported to Mr. Xiao was the name of the big shopkeeper of Richanglong, and they actually said that they had admired it for a long time!" Please take a seat! ”

Wu Songqi said: "Isn't it a conference of people in the rivers and lakes?" Why can merchants participate? ”

"Yes, not only that, but I've seen a lot of merchants and shopkeepers over there. Did you see that big fat man? It is the shopkeeper of Darun Oil Mill, and I heard that the business is doing very well, and the sesame oil belongs to his family! ”

Xiao Ming shook his head and felt incredible, what the hell is this Yao Pingzhong going to do? It seems that you have to go in and have a look, otherwise you can't guess anything outside, so they took Wu Song and they stepped into Qingyunzhuang.

Zhuang Ding really arranged Xiao Ming and them in the middle of a group of businessmen, the lobby of Qingyunzhuang is called Qingyun Pavilion, inside is the venue, the periphery of the lobby is a circle of corridors, but now it has become a private seat, tables and chairs have been arranged, this hall is bustling, there are acquaintances clasping their fists and saluting, saying hello loudly, everything is a mess!

Yao Pingzhong was wearing a purple shirt today, his face was full of red light, his appearance suddenly quieted the life below, but Yao Pingzhong said: "Serve the food!" Today, everyone is here to our manor, it is my Yao's honor, and it is also my face, Yao is very grateful here! ”

"So you're here for dinner?" Gu Xiaoliu said.

Listening to Yao Pingzhong's politeness on it for a while, Wu Song couldn't sit still! It's about the Anti-Jin Volunteer Conference, why did you come here to drink and eat food, and recognize your friends? If you still have no anger on your face, you will stand up.

Xiao Ming motioned for him to calm down for a while, and take a look at what was going on, Qian Baguang pouted and said: "There is wine to drink, meat to eat, even if we didn't come for nothing, let's drink his mother's first" After speaking, he took a sip of wine and drank a bowl of wine.

At this time, Yao Pingzhong suddenly said: "The gathering of martial arts people in Hezhong Mansion here is because Yao was entrusted by the predecessors of Zhou Tongzhou, the iron arm of Shaanxi heroes, in order to organize a group of people with strong martial arts to do a big thing!" ”

As soon as he mentioned Zhou Tong, the iron arm of Shaanxi Daxia, everyone below couldn't help but start to discuss, who is Zhou Tong? That's a real hero, not to mention his own skills, and the chivalry is far-reaching, it is the Taishan Beidou of martial arts all over Shaanxi, this person is so famous because he taught a few apprentices, all of whom are famous all over the world.

There are even rumors that Wu Song's kung fu was also taught by Zhou Tong, Xiao Ming looked at Wu Song's face obviously did not show excitement, that is obviously not true, in fact, Zhou Tong's real land is only two people, one is Wang Tong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, but this person died early, and the latter is the famous Yue Wu Mu Yue Fei!

In the martial arts of Hexi and Hezhong Mansion, Zhou Tong is naturally respected, but what does Zhou Tong need these people to do? This is also something that everyone speculates, everyone is waiting for Yao Pingzhong to explain, and why did he invite so many big businessmen and big shopkeepers to come?

If the Anti-Jin Volunteer Conference is only involved in the previous affairs of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and they still want to do a secret thing, then the businessmen give people the impression that they value profit over righteousness, how can these people trust these businessmen? Everyone in the meeting had this question in their stomachs.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Pingzhong began to say compliments to those big businessmen, saying that the Jin country was stubborn, the country was in danger, and the big things that the anti-Jin volunteers did this time was a matter of nine deaths, and I hope that these businessmen can donate some buried silver for those anti-Jin volunteers, no matter how much or less, just the meaning is on the line.

Gu Xiaoliu said: "It turned out to be a rip-off?" He regretted a little that he had signed Xiao Ming up as the shopkeeper of Richanglong.

Sure enough, the faces of those businessmen's shopkeepers were more ugly than the other, they were looking at Yao Pingzhong as a local tyrant, there was no way, they had a big business, they had official positions, and they were martial arts people in Hezhong Mansion, and none of them could afford to take out any of them!

Yao Pingzhong made a gesture and claimed to take out a thousand taels of silver, and Zhong Haojie applauded at the bottom! The merchants had no choice but to take out fifty of you and two hundred of me to dig out the silver, and it was less than five thousand taels of silver in a circle! Yao Pingzhong's face suddenly pulled down! The two iron balls in his hand spun fast, which was a precursor to his madness.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "I donate 50,000 taels of silver!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar immediately, and they all looked at the person who spoke, only to see that the person was a young man in his twenties, dressed very casually, but with great momentum, he was always surrounded by four followers, and at first glance it was the kind of big businessman and eunuch, but this person was not public, just smiled and looked at the big guy.

"Who is this person?" There was a lot of discussion below, of course, there were also heroes who did that good thing loudly, the people around Yao Pingzhong whispered something in his ear, Yao Pingzhong's face showed a sudden look, so he stood up and arched his hand at Xiao Ming: "It turned out that the big shopkeeper of Richanglong was here, it was really brilliant!" ”

Xiao Ming replied: "How dare you! This time I came to disturb Yao Daguan! ”

The name of Richanglong is a big business name with a deafening reputation in the business world! There is nothing that people in business don't know, many big shopkeepers see that Xiao Ming is such a young man, and they are dissatisfied and mutter, but Xiao Ming's aura is very big, and it doesn't look like a fake, so everyone can't help but talk in a low voice for a while.

Yao Pingzhong said: "Richanglong is a giant businessman in the southeast, why did the big shopkeeper come to Hezhong Mansion today?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "Xiao came here for your anti-gold volunteer meeting!" ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Ming stood up and looked at the crowd: "The golden soldiers are in the world, surrounding me in Tokyo, burning, killing and looting all the way, doing all kinds of evil!" Yao Daguan is concerned about the national society and held this anti-gold volunteer conference, I think it is to do a good job for the Great Song Dynasty, right? Xiao is not a talented person, but he also wants to do his best! ”

Yao Pingzhong nodded and said: "The second conference is precisely for this, and Yao is naturally worried about the country!" I guess that's the same for you, right? ”

Xiao Ming said: "I am not rich in Hezhong Mansion, and the shopkeepers are also working hard, and they don't get much, so let's do it!" I will donate another 50,000 taels of silver, so that these colleagues of mine do not have to pay any more silver! ”

When he said this, he immediately made the shopkeepers overjoyed, this Richanglong shopkeeper is really righteous! is indeed wealthy, and he donated 100,000 taels of silver without blinking an eye! This kind of bearing, this financial strength is really unparalleled!

Yao Pingzhong is also very happy, the purpose of his holding this conference is nothing more than to envelop some Jianghu martial arts people, and then there is to take the opportunity to collect some money, he has 18,000 township warriors under his command, and the cost of supporting these people independently is indeed a bit difficult, but this is his battle, this time Tokyo was besieged, and the township warrior militias around the country have raised troops to serve the king, and he still relies on this point to have a political future!

At the moment, Qingyunzhuang had a big banquet and beckoned everyone to eat and drink, but those merchants and shopkeepers were "invited" out by Qingyunzhuang. Since they don't pay for it, it's useless for these people to keep it, and the rest of the things are just to find the big shopkeeper of Richanglong.

Xiao Ming was invited to the stage, Yao Pingzhong personally accompanied, the anti-gold volunteer conference was supposed to be held for two days, the next day was official, when the Shaanxi hero iron arm Zhou Tong will also be present, Xiao Ming and his party were left by Yao Pingzhong, and it was the conference that allowed him to participate in the next day, Xiao Ming was safe when he came, so he agreed to stay.

Gu Xiaoliu said: "He's going to continue to knock on your bamboo pole!" Why did you agree to stay? ”

Xiao Ming said: "If you don't stay, how can your 18,000 men and horses get it?" ”

……

The next day, the conference continued, all the people in the Jianghu martial arts arrived, and some strange people who did not see yesterday also appeared today, these people did not participate in the banquet yesterday with their own identities, and today is an official conference, so they all appeared, and there were Xiao Ming's acquaintances in it.

First of all, Qian Baguang found out, these two acquaintances are none other than Qian Baguang's second and third brothers, the two leaders of Mangdang Mountain, the Flying Sage Li Gon and the eight-armed Nezha Xiang Chong! Qian Baguang was excited, and immediately called the two over, and the two were originally recommended by Xiao Ming to Yang Zhen to contribute to the imperial court.

Li Gon and Xiang Chong followed their eldest brother Fan Rui, the demon king of the mixed world, to Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen entrusted the three of them with important tasks, and the three of them also had military exploits in the pacification of the southeast turmoil, and after the extermination of Fang La, they followed Yang Zhen to the Western Army, and all three of them were promoted to petty officers by virtue of their military merits, which is equivalent to eating the country's fortune.

But the Song army is still inevitably factional, when Yang Zhen is there, he can also have a deterrent to the below, but he himself is also controlled by others, after Yang Zhen's death, the three of them suddenly felt bored, Fan Rui was even more disheartened, the darkness of the army is that his fiery heart has gradually cooled, qualifications, background, background and backstage, determine your future!

The three of them were all bandits, and their identity backgrounds were a lot worse than others, and the three finally decided to leave! Fan Rui devoted himself to the Tao, practicing in Kongtong Mountain, Li Gunxiang Chong traveled the rivers and lakes together, this time he came to Hezhong Mansion by coincidence, Qian Baguang was very excited to see the two of them, the two gave Xiao Ming a salute, and said goodbye, everyone was embarrassed.

Li Gon Xiang Chong is a heroic martial artist, and he has been an officer in the Song Army, he is a rare talent, of course Xiao Ming will not let it go, but the conference here is not over, and it is inconvenient to say anything, so he signaled that Qian Pulls Out, and must find a way to keep the two!

Qian Baguang was naturally 10,000 willing, patting his chest and promising that he would definitely leave his two brothers by Xiao Ming's side to serve him, so Xiao Ming put his mind at ease and continued to participate in Yao Pingzhong's conference.

Yao Pingzhong claimed that the purpose of this volunteer meeting was to recruit a thousand dead soldiers with strong martial arts, sneak into the camp of the Jin Army on the West Road of Wanyan Zonghan and steal a sharp weapon, which is the key to determining whether Taiyuan can be saved, and this news was sent by Zhou Tong, a hero from Shaanxi, and Yao Pingzhong thought that he was a registered disciple of Zhou Daxia, so he was responsible for recruiting people.

Hezhong Mansion is not far from Taiyuan, but it is just going to cross Lvliang Mountain, so this time even the famous Lvliang Sanxia on the rivers and lakes was also invited, some things on the rivers and lakes, Xiao Ming didn't understand, and the martial arts watched some, all of them were high and high Some gods chattered, this time I personally participated in the gathering of these people in the rivers and lakes, and I couldn't help but open my eyes.

Many masters of the rivers and lakes looked at the face of the hero Zhou Tong, not to give Yao Pingzhong face, so he also knew it himself, so after he said a few words straight to the point, he said that he invited Zhou Daxia, but the people below ran up and muttered in his ear for a while, Yao Pingzhong's face was surprised, but finally coughed and explained to everyone.

Zhou Daxia suddenly had something to do and went to Hejian Mansion, but he sent his closed disciple Fu Gongzi to come, everyone was invited, and after speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and among the shocked looks of everyone, a young man who was about seventeen or eighteen years old came to the stage from behind......
