923, Juyi Sima Mansion (Fu)

This is the general situation of Suzhou, where the story takes place, let's return to the main story in the book:

It is said that Sima Fu and his entourage came to Suzhou, day and night, Suzhou Sima Mansion, with colorful lanterns, gathered civil and military, and washed the dust for the guerrilla brigade.

"Everyone! Now that the Yushan Martial Arts Conference has just ended, many heroes have been decided, and now the guerrilla brigade has been ushered in. Commander-in-Chief Ye is not only excellent in martial arts, but also highly respected, the so-called 'strong generals have no weak soldiers', and his guerrilla brigade is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and a master is like a cloud! Today, I have invited many heroes, it is really full of friends and heroes, and I feel deeply proud and honored, which shows that my Sima Fu's blessings are not shallow! ”

"Lord Sima is hospitable, on behalf of all the heroes, I would like to toast your lordship! Do it first! After Ye Wushuang finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all!

"Good! It's really a heroic act, and I Sima Fu admires it. After speaking, Sima Fu also raised his glass and drank it all.

At this moment, I saw a family member come to the lobby where the heroes gathered and reported: "Lord Qiyu! Outside the door, there are 'Four Great Bell Kings' and 'Whirlwind Eighteen Riders' asking to see you. ”

"Oh?!" When the people heard this, they were amazed. Even Sima Fu was surprised, because among the forty-two "No. 1 in the world" he invited, in addition to the defeated Hu Zhenguang, Zhong Like, Huang Feilong, Diao Chuanlin and the dead Tu Feilong, Hu Dahua, Zhu Yulou, Zhiqing Monk and the treasure sword Jin who defeated Tu Feilong and won the title of "No. 1 Sword in the World", that is, 34 "No. 1 in the world", plus 33 guerrilla brigade warriors and "Top Ten Zhuang", a total of 77 martial arts masters were invited. And now there are 22 martial arts heroes who come to visit, which adds up to 99, which is really an auspicious number of "Ninety-Nine Double Ninth Festival"! But if you add the "Sima Three Brothers", then there will be one hundred and two generals gathered in this hall!

"Hurry up, please!" Sima Fu hurriedly waved his hand to the family and said, "Prepare more wine banquets!" ”

After a moment's effort, the inside and outside were already busy, and the "Four Great Tomb Kings" and the "Whirlwind Eighteen Riders" had already stepped into the lobby. Sima Fu and the others got up to greet each other, and after greeting each other, they took their seats.

At this time, I saw the "Lingling King" Jin Ye get up and said: "Today, Lord Sima is here to testify that we, the 'Four Great Bell Kings', are determined to join the guerrilla brigade, and we also ask Commander-in-Chief Ye to agree to our request. We've been looking for you for more than a year. ”

"And one more of us!" Xiao Yulin, the chief of the "Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry" next to him, also got up and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the guerrilla brigade is a righteous division, and we, the 'Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry', also swear to join it." ”

"Hmm!" Sima Fu couldn't help but smile and said to Ye Wushuang: "Commander-in-Chief Ye is highly respected, young and promising, I don't think you will refuse them, right?" ”

"Hahaha!" Ye Wushuang immediately smiled generously, and said: "Our guerrilla brigade is in short supply of manpower, and it is of course undesirable to have people with lofty ideals like the 'Four Great Tomb Kings' and the 'Eighteen Horsemen of Xuanjian' to join. Now that Master Sima is witnessing, our guerrilla brigade is here to warmly welcome the 'Four Great Tomb Kings' and the 'Eighteen Cavalry' to join our guerrilla brigade through the Lord's Mansion. ”

"Good!" Jin Ye and Xiao Yulin said in unison, picked up the wine glass, and said to Ye Wushuang: "Let's toast Commander Ye first!" Do it first! With that, the two of them drank it all. Subsequently, Ye Wushuang also raised his glass and drank it all.

At this time, Tong Yunlong, the king of Tongling, couldn't help but say, "Lord Sima! Tong has something to ask. ”

"Oh? This strong man, please speak! ”

"Kill to pay for your life, pay for debts. The murderer killed five people in a row, dare to ask when the thief will be captured? ”

"Good question!" Sima Fu couldn't help but get up, slowly walked to the center of the lobby, and said, "Heroes are well-informed, but can anyone recognize who this murderer is?" ”

As soon as this question fell, I saw "the first calculation in the world" Shen Wanqing stood up and pinched his fingers and said: "Master Sima!" Heroes! I, Shen Wanqing, am a native of Suzhou, and I am quite familiar with the people and land here. According to my inference, this murderer is one of the four masters of today's martial arts. This person's knife skills are so fast, almost invisible and shadowless, but seeing things destroy people and die, silently, even if lightning is not as good, so the rivers and lakes are nicknamed 'lightning is not as good'. The big is hidden in the wild, and the small is hidden in the city. It is said that this person lived in seclusion in Changshu Yu Mountain, although this mountain is small, but it is so hidden that ordinary people can't see him at all! ”

"Not bad! Shen Daxia's inference was accurate. I saw Ye Wushuang stand up and say, "Based on my intuition, I also concluded that it was him." His sword skills are unique in the world, and he is the only one. ”

When Sima Fu heard this, he secretly knew in his heart, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, I can send a large team of men and horses to round up this thief in Yushan." ”

"Lord Sima!" Shen Wanqing then said: "Although this murderer Fang Kegui lives in seclusion in the small Yu Mountain, it is bound to be difficult to round him up like looking for a needle in a haystack. Just like Commander Ye said, in order to catch this murderer, you can't be in a hurry, you must think of a perfect strategy. ”

"Then ......" Sima Fu thought for a while and said: "I, Sima Fu, am not intellectually intelligent, and I hope that all the heroes will give advice to the official, how can I capture this thief?" ”

"Master Sima, don't worry!" Ye Wushuang immediately said: "Since our guerrilla brigade encounters this matter, we will definitely ask it to the end. At any time, at the disposal of adults, in order to catch this thief, go to the soup and go to the fire, do not hesitate! ”

"Good! With your words, the thief is bound to be captured. This damn Fang Kegui actually killed five lives in a row in the territory under my jurisdiction in full view of everyone, no wonder he said that he was kicking the field when he came to power, and said that he didn't inform him of the martial arts competition under Yushan, it turned out that he lived in seclusion in Yushan! You say, isn't this surnamed Fang obviously fighting against the government and the world's martial arts? ”

"Your Excellency is right! That's right! You must think about catching it! The crowd couldn't help but shout. Besides, Sima Qiufeng, the head of the Huashan faction who had been silent here, heard the bursts of righteous indignation from the audience, and he couldn't help but get up and said, "Everyone! Please allow me to say a word to Sima Qiufeng. ”

In an instant, there was silence in the lobby. Sima Qiufeng thought about it and said: "Whether it is the government or the Jianghu martial arts world, there is an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. Today, there are four masters in martial arts, namely Yan Wushuang, Fang Kegui, Golden Palace, and the beauty Sword Liu Rumei. These four people are now back in the rivers and lakes, but they are still wandering. They are alone, have no sects or factions, and they don't take the eight major sects of the rivers and lakes in their eyes. Because of what? Because they believe that they are the first in the world in martial arts, no one can compare, and they want to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance with this. Swearing, who of the four of them will bow their heads to whom and admit defeat? Then again, I believe you have already heard and witnessed it, Fang Kegui threatened to kill all the first in the world, and then he easily let the heads of the five martial arts masters fall to the ground. I oath to ask, who of you here is sure that he can defeat him with martial arts? ”

This remark made all the people present fall into a deep thought: Sima Qiufeng's words must not be taken lightly, now the rivers and lakes are still unstable, since the death of the old thief of Fashen, the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance has been vacant until now. Now that there are four masters, don't they have any intentions? Just said that Fang Kegui, who was "lightning less", threatened to kill all the first in the world, and let the five martial arts masters kill them in one move, which shows that Fang Kegui is not talking wildly, with his martial arts, he can completely kill all the first in the world that comes out of the decisive battle. Even if they are one hundred and two people who are all together, no one dares to say that they can win this price! Perhaps, their 100-odd crowd rose up to attack it, so that they could resist one of them! It's terrible to think about, and maybe at any time I'll become a ghost under the knife who "can't lightning".

"Master Sima said it well!" I saw that Huang Ziling, the king of Huangling, finally got up and said: "In the past, the martial arts were in turmoil, and various sects and factions competed with each other for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, what was the result?" The dead die, the dead die. The Huashan Martial Arts Conference did not decide the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, resulting in a tragic ending of a bloody Huashan; What about the Huangling Conference? The Yin Yang Sect, the Sun Moon God Sect, the Fa Shen Master, and the Eastern Evil and the Western Poison compete with each other, they are all qualified and qualified to compete for the position of the leader of the alliance, but what happened? A lonely defeat actually defeated the five of them at the same time in the blink of an eye, and as soon as they left, they disappeared into the rivers and lakes, which is still a difficult mystery to solve! What do you say about those five veteran swordsmen? Wasn't it shameful to run away at that time? Later, all five of them died in that martial arts catastrophe. Now that there are four masters reappearing in the rivers and lakes, there is a great possibility of competing for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. I'm just laughing at them, maybe they didn't see the Huangling inscription! ”

"What does the inscription say? How? Someone in the banquet asked loudly, it seems that he is a martial arts junior who is "ignorant of the world", and he has not even heard of the inscription after the Huangling War! It's simply not the sophistication of the rivers and lakes martial arts!

Hearing this, Huang Ziling (Ling) looked at everyone and said, "That may be to praise loneliness and defeat." If you go to Huangling one day, you will see such a poem on a stone tablet - martial arts are unique and disrespectful, and Huangling is like a soul when it appears. Who wants to be the leader of the alliance again, why not look at Huang Lingwen? ”

After Huang Ziling finished speaking, Tong Yunlong, the king of Tongling, couldn't help but say: "That can't let the position of the leader of the alliance remain so empty, one should be elected as soon as possible to preside over justice." ”

"Tong Daxia is right!" I saw Sima Qiufeng come over and say: "If the Jianghu martial arts have no owner for a day, evil will run rampant for a day." It is reasonable to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance as soon as possible, preside over the right path, and uphold justice. Therefore, as the head of the Huashan faction, I would like to take the opportunity to make a suggestion to all martial arts heroes, that is, to change the five-year Huashan Martial Arts Conference to an annual one, and after the martial arts alliance leader is decided, a title defense match for the position of the alliance leader will be held every year in the Ninety-Nine Double Ninth Festival, so as to show fairness and fairness, so that those who have the ability have the opportunity to fight for and even sit on the position of the alliance leader. As the host of the Huashan Martial Arts Conference, I can choose a day to distribute martial arts stickers to the Eight Major Sects and the Nine Nine Eighty-One Sects, and I hope you can support them! ”

"That's a great move! We agree! Agree! The crowd in the hall shouted and clapped their hands to express their praise (success).

Soon, the shouting gradually stopped, and Sima Qiufeng continued with a smile on his face: "Thank you heroes for your support. It is now the seventh day of the first month of March, and there is still some time before the Double Ninth Festival, and I ask heroes from all walks of life to tell each other that they will definitely come to my Huashan when the time comes. ”

"Good!" Sima Fu said casually: "I wish the third brother a success in holding the Huashan Martial Arts Conference on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival of the Ninth Year this year." Come! Serve the glasses and drink the glasses together. ”

Between the words, everyone present was invited to stand up and toast, wishing the Huashan Martial Arts Conference of the Double Ninth Festival a success as scheduled.

After drinking this glass of wine, I suddenly saw that the family came to report in a hurry: "Lord Qiyu! Outside, there were Lan (Lan) Ling kings and Xinling kings asking to see. ”

"Oh!" Sima Fu was secretly happy in his heart again, and said: "This is really a gathering of famous artists, and the door is like a market." Hurry up and please. ”
