Yuzhou, Shangyang City.

In the largest annex of the Nangong family in Yuzhou, the first light snow of this winter is falling one after another, and the owner of this courtyard, Nangong Tong, is dancing in the snow.

Unlike in the past, Nangong got up very early today. He had washed up briefly before dawn under the service of four personal maids, and rode the dark cloud cover snow that he had just bought for 100,000 taels of silver a few days ago and galloped around Shangyang City for an hour, and then came back and took advantage of that hot blood to play a set of Nangong family's 'Seventy Second-hand Houses', and finally this was the Nine Transformations of the Spirit that concentrated all his mental energy.

The tiny snowflakes were wrapped in the north wind and danced wildly, but they couldn't fall within a zhang of Nangong Tong's side anyway, they could only see a cold light flashing in the air, and Nangong Tong's figure was also like this sword light flickering in this square circle, looking forward and flickering behind, as if several phantoms kept replacing each other.

Suddenly, several figures of Nangong Tong suddenly flashed into the middle at the same time and turned into one, and nine fierce sword qi were entangled with each other and stirred outward, and the two wooden puppets a few feet away were suddenly twisted into pieces flying all over the sky.

Nangong Tong stood still, put away his sword, he was already sweating profusely, and a trace of white gas was constantly steaming out of his clothes, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. Finally able to use this trick 'Nine Spirit Collapse', he felt that he was in a good mood, and this morning's warm-up was indeed not in vain.

But this early horseback riding, boxing, and sword dancing are not to be able to use this move, this move is just the same as those warm-ups. It's just a foreshadowing for cultivating your own good mood.

Nangong Tong dropped his sword and turned back to the room, at this time, his four maids had already boiled a large bucket of bath water with the cold mountain spring water that had been transported back from one hundred and fifty miles away, and added the medicinal herbs and spices specially prepared for him by the chief shopkeeper of Yuzhou in the Medicine King Valley. Just the cost of this bucket of bathwater is enough for ordinary people to live for ten years. But in the Nangong family, this is really a common thing, the Nangong family is rich, and the people of the Nangong family know how to use money better. Speaking of enjoyment and taste, no one in the rivers and lakes has ever dared to say that they can beat the people of the Nangong family.

After soaking in the large tub, which is almost a small pond, for half an hour, every pore was stretched to the extreme, all the sweat and waste products in the skin texture were discharged, and the slightly tired muscles were also restored to the best state under the careful massage of two personal maids. Nangong Tong got up at this time. Changing into a set of green shirts cut from the best Shu embroidery, and eating a cup of Tianshen Snow Clam Bird's Nest Porridge carefully prepared in the kitchen, he felt his complexion. The mood and spirit have been adjusted to the best state, and after looking at the mirror, I only saw a handsome jade inside. A personable young man. The lips are red and the teeth are white, the spirit is radiant, the whole person exudes a burst of jade-like color and brilliance, and some unconcealable heroism lingers in the demeanor, every muscle line, the outline of the body is showing the vitality in this body.

Sure enough, only such a young hero can be worthy of the upcoming rise of the rivers and lakes. The leader of the 'Righteous Path Alliance' who leads thousands of eyes and clouds. Nangong Tong smiled very proudly.

Today is the day when the rudder of the Zhengdao League in Yuzhou is officially established, and my cousin is also coming. Therefore, Nangong Tongcai has devoted twelve points of spirit and preparation, and plans to dress up this good day to be as beautiful and beautiful as himself.

Hey, no, my cousin said that now that the Zhengdao Alliance has just been created, it should not be too public, and he also specially instructed him to keep a low profile today. No matter what, anyway, there aren't many people invited, how can the affairs of the Nangong family be noisy and noisy like those rich people, for fear that others will not know? However, it was just that two elders of the True Martial Sect were invited, the Pure Land Zen Academy's presiding officer Aoki Zen Master in the Songshan Annex, and the helmsman of the Yuzhou branch of the Shenji Hall must be there, plus several heads of the largest local sect in Yuzhou, it was just that the Taishan Beidou of the entire Yuzhou Baidao got together for a casual meal, and exchanged and discussed how the Zhengdao League should act chivalrous and righteous in the rivers and lakes of Yuzhou in the future.

Do you want to let Lord Liu, the state pastor, also come to visit? Although all the people present are from the Jianghu sect and talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, how can the rivers and lakes and temples be so clearly distinguished? If it weren't for the efforts of the Zhenwu, Maoshan, Longhushan, and other Jianghu sects, this Yuzhou would have been reduced to ruins under the sword and axe of the Xidi barbarians, and the Jingshi in the south would have suffered as well, and they had learned this lesson. What's more, this righteous path alliance must also communicate with the official, and it is much easier to do things with a relationship of six doors, but I don't know if Lord Liu, who was born in Confucianism, will feel uncomfortable in a group of Jianghu people

While frowning and thinking about it, the people below suddenly came to report: Fairy He has come.

Three steps and two steps came to the front door, and when he saw a delicate figure in red jumping off the horse, Nangong Tong hurriedly stepped forward: "Cousin, I have been fortunate along the way!"

"Where, it's hard for my cousin to sit in this Yuzhou to help me prepare. This person smiled, it was obviously just winter, but Nangong Tong suddenly felt that a hundred flowers were blooming, and the birds were singing and fragrant. This is a bright and generous woman who is like the sunshine in the net, wearing a bright red leather coat and military uniform to highlight her heroism and enthusiasm, revealing confidence and aura between a smile and a smile, and people who are a little obscure in their hearts can't help but feel low when they see it.

Nangong Tong hurriedly replied: "Cousin's business is my business, helping my cousin do things Cousin is only happy in his heart, where is there still half a point of hard work." What's more, this righteous path alliance is also involved in our Nangong family, so my cousin doesn't need to be polite. ”

For this cousin who is two years younger than himself, Nangong also has three points of admiration, three points of affection, and four points of admiration, and he is more like a capable cousin in his mind. Unlike herself, who has been shrouded in the aura of the Nangong family all her life, and most of the other siblings, this cousin's background is not inferior to them, and even more so - her mother is the first beauty of the Nangong family in the past, and her father is the current head of Maoshan. But this cousin's hard work and strength since childhood are far from being comparable to them, even among the hundreds of disciples in Maoshan, she is the best among her peers in both martial arts and Taoism. And since the age of fifteen, he has been alone in this rivers and lakes, and in the past three or four years, the name of Maoshan He Fairy has been resounding in the three states of the Central Plains, and she seems to feel that it is not enough, and in the past two years, she has contacted many people, and intends to establish an association of outstanding young disciples on the rivers and lakes 'Zhengdao Alliance', which is a bright new star rising in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains.

"Cousin, this time I got the advantage of my seventh brother. The two elders of the True Martial Sect were invited to come today, but it was a pity that they seemed to have no intention of stepping in for the time being. Although Aoki Zen Master of Songshan Annexin has not yet spoken, he has been in the limelight in recent years. I think most of them will still agree to join us."

"They'll say yes, but not now. The woman smiled faintly confidently as she walked towards the inner hall with Nangong Tong. "The True Martial Sect has always acted cautiously and steadily, and we are just getting started. Naturally, he had to wait and see. The Pure Land Monastery has prospered over the years. But I have always had some scruples about the attitude of other families, and I can't find an opportunity to get along with everyone and communicate with each other. This is also an opportunity for them, and they will definitely agree to join, but at most, they are still a little worried that we are just children of the family who are idle and bored to gather together and mess around. ”

"These monks are really rude!"

"Don't be angry, cousin, that's just my guess. The woman giggled again, and then her face turned grim, and a glint flashed in her eyes. "At the end of the day, it's up to us to do it. After all, this righteous path alliance was just started by our younger generation, and it is normal for others to have some doubts. As long as we do a few big things to show our fellow practitioners, they will naturally understand. ”

"My cousin can see it clearly! Then we must do something big this time. I'll invite Mr. Liu to come to the banquet later, and with his full support, we."

"No, I can't. Without hesitation, the woman waved her hand. "Don't involve the official face for the time being. ”

"Why?" Nangong was stunned. "This righteous path alliance will definitely have to deal with officials in the future, not to mention that the Shenji Hall has already had an agreement with the Shadow Guard Mansion, so this is it"

"So the people in the rivers and lakes have always looked down on Shenjitang. The woman said coldly. "Although the imperial court has always been tolerant of the forces in the rivers and lakes, the laws of the country cannot be ignored after all, and the heroes in the rivers and lakes are used to being sloppy after all, and they are very disgusted with the rules in the six doors. The most important thing for us in the early stage of this grass creation is to make a name for ourselves in the rivers and lakes, so this official relationship should not be made public for the time being. Even those people in the Divine Machine Hall should also have as little contact as possible, and try to borrow less power from their families between actions, and we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"It's all up to us, so do we have to fight and kill those bandits and demons by ourselves?" There is a way that the son of a daughter can't sit down," Nangong Tong heard this, and unconsciously had some cold sweat on his head. His swordsmanship and martial arts are also first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, but if he really wants him to roar and scream like other men in the rivers and lakes, it is better to simply kill him with a knife.

The girl seemed to see his thoughts, and smiled again: "Don't worry, cousin, I won't ask you to fight and kill in person." ”

Nangong Tong smiled ashamedly, and hurriedly said: "Then are the few major events in the rivers and lakes in the recent days clear? Maybe it is the opportunity for our Righteous Dao Alliance." ”

"Oh, I have been raising money with the eldest brother of the Li family in Yangzhou these days, although I have heard some rumors, but the details are not very clear, can my cousin inquire about it?"

"Naturally, I inquired and understood. Nangong Tong smiled a little proudly. "I begged the second uncle to ask for the news directly from Ying Wei and Qingyu Lou, even the news in the hands of Ying Shuai is nothing more than that. ”

"First of all, there is the matter of the Outer Heaven Volcano. A few years ago, when the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire was spreading in the rivers and lakes, we had secretly received news from the shadow guard that it was very likely that the person who offered a reward of 300,000 taels of gold in the Qingyu Tower was a person from the Yongzhou General's Mansion. In the end, as expected, Ye Hongshan was killed until the end of the spiritual fire sacrifice, and with the help of the bloody sword and the Vermilion Bird Spiritual Fire, the blood light heavenly divine halberd in his hand was completed. ”

"Since more than half a month has passed since this matter, what else can we do?"

"Hehe, that Ye Hongshan has always used force to hold on to itself. No one in his eyes is flying to the extreme, but this time he used such a roundabout means to refine the weapon in his hand, cousin, can't you still see the clue?"

"Cousin, don't sell Guanzi. If you have any news, just tell me. ”

"Ahem" Nangong Tong blushed. "Actually, I don't know very well, because even the second uncle doesn't seem to know very well, and repeatedly told me not to inquire more, only to say that Ye Hongshan seems to be going to do a big thing in recent years, and the court's connivance with him over the years is also related to this matter. And no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, it will definitely have a great damage to the strength of Ye Hongshan, and we can take advantage of it."

"Alright. Cousin, don't care about this anymore. That's not something we can do. The woman waved her hand. "I know that the shadow guard secretly helped us establish this righteous path alliance, which means that we want to integrate the power of the rivers and lakes of the three states of the Central Plains to gradually become one of the forces that balance Yongzhou, but that will also take at least more than ten years of slow accumulation and planning. We are too little power today. It's not our turn to go to the heart of this kind of big thing. I heard the head vaguely mention what you said not long ago, it is something that shakes the general trend of the world, and there are countless calculations in it, and even the Pure Land Zen Temple and Dragon and Tiger Mountain can only walk on thin ice. Our power is only a drop in the ocean. It is only right to take the steps under your feet step by step first. ”

"Well, what my cousin said is also true" Nangong Tong's face turned red again. "But I heard that in a chaotic battle under the volcano that day, He Tian Shaoxia, the son of the head of the Kunlun faction, shined in it, not only with profound spells, killing countless Xidi barbarians and demon insects, but also with a righteous and awe-inspiring spirit, and scolded those Jizhou troops who did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and the last remaining people in the rivers and lakes were most likely rescued by the people of the Kunlun faction. Such a chivalrous young handsome man is exactly what our righteous path alliance needs. Moreover, the Kunlun faction of the Three Courts has rarely set foot in the battles of the rivers and lakes. Therefore, the reputation is not obvious, but after all, it is an ancient Dao sect like the Five Elements Sect. It's a lot of background, and it would be very beneficial to join us."

"Although the words are good, but the Kunlun faction has no contact with us, so we don't know each other well, and Kunlun Mountain is also far away, so do you want to go all the way to invite people to join? Doesn't it seem too deliberate?"

"E" Nangong Tong's forehead was already sweating slightly. "Have you heard the news of the Qingzhou Luoshui Gang? Dozens of people in that city were skinned and tortured to death by the murderer, it was really cruel to the extreme, and it was clearly used by people in the evil way to sacrifice and refine demon methods. And to kill dozens of Jianghu experts summoned by the Luoshui Gang, even the Pure Land Zen Academy's anger extinguishing master is not an opponent, and the merit of capturing such a fierce demon head will definitely be able to use this year's demon extermination order."

"Cousin, you've always been a bit more realistic. Walking to the back room with Nangong, the woman picked up the fragrant tea she had prepared earlier and took a sip and smiled faintly.

"Hehe" Nangong Tongxin finally breathed a big sigh of relief, fortunately, copper pipes had already been buried in the ground of this house, and the ground was hot, and the fine sweat on his head couldn't see how strange it was. Hurriedly clapped his hands, and asked the subordinates who had been prepared outside to bring up the fresh fruits from the south that had only been delivered by fast horses this morning.

But immediately, the woman's question made Nangong Tong's sweat start to be a little uncontrollable again: "Then cousin, can you inquire about any special news?" Although the Naluoshui Gang has placed a bounty portrait, it is not very clear that the painting is not very clear, and the other information is also vague, just relying on those to catch people is a little difficult. ”

"But I can't find out anything about this, and there is no special news about Qingyulou and Yingwei. The Luoshui Gang himself couldn't tell what kind of spell or martial arts the murderer used to kill a group of masters, and the murderer's face was only said by a dying man, only a beautiful young woman. As for the wild Taoist priest who colluded with the murderer, he was better, he knew that his surname was Xia, about twenty years old, medium build, third-rate martial arts, and second-rate talismans."

"Surname Xia?" The woman's expression suddenly became strange.

At this moment, a small footstep came from outside, and a maid trotted to the door to report: "There is a pair of singing father and daughter outside who asked to see He Xi'er and He Fairy, saying that it is the fairy's old acquaintance." The old man said that when he was in Yangzhou, he invited the fairy to drink a bowl of sour plum sobering soup, and the fairy must still remember him. ”

The subordinates of the Nangong family are also knowledgeable, and they do not simply judge people by their appearance. It is not uncommon for people in the rivers and lakes to fall into the rivers and lakes, even if this Nangong family is a state pastor, the generation of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain cannot trespass without permission. But anyone who gives the right reason and reports it is absolutely fine.

It's just that He Ji'er on the seat listened to this announcement, and her already strange expression became even stranger.

"Cousin, it's really your acquaintance? Why did you just find this place just now?But is there an important urgency?" This expression naturally fell into Nangong Tong's eyes, and he turned to the maid. "Since it's my cousin's guest, why don't you invite someone in. Brew two more cups of my Cloud Spirit Tips. ”

"Hehe, no need. This person probably doesn't have the heart to drink tea, don't waste your tea leaves, cousin. He Xi'er smiled and waved her hand. I thought about it and said again. "I wonder if my cousin can borrow me in a secluded room? ”

Nangong Tong nodded hurriedly: "What did my cousin say?" It must be some kind of strange person in the rivers and lakes that my cousin made friends with has top-secret news, and I won't hinder my cousin here, so I'll avoid it for the time being. ”

It didn't take long for the next person to bring in the father and daughter who were singing. The father-like old man didn't look anything out of the ordinary. Holding an old huqin in his hand. The clothes on his body were thin, and he shivered in the light snow of early winter, and he was relieved until he stepped into this warm room. The village girl next to him seemed to be his daughter, but she looked left and right curiously with a pair of big eyes.

After the subordinates retreated, He Ji'er stared at the old man and snorted coldly and said, "You are so daring, I don't want to look for you, you actually dare to come to me? Don't you know that this girl is jealous and hateful, and takes it as her mission to eradicate the evil ways of the world? You are not afraid that this girl will take you down on the spot?"

"What are you talking about, girl? I don't really understand. The old man was puzzled when he heard this. "The old man and his daughter wandered the world and depended on each other for their lives. It's just because of a strange injustice in the world, I have long heard that Fairy He of the Maoshan Sect is a chivalrous and courageous woman who does not let her eyebrows, so she and her daughter came to ask for help."

"Alright. There is no one else here, who else is making a show for?" He Xi'er frowned. "Tell me quickly, is it really you who did the Qingzhou Luoshui Gang? What is the truth? Why did you come to me?"

The old man still looked confused, and said in a hoarse voice: "Girl's words, please forgive the old man, I really don't understand, the old man and his daughter are in the rivers and lakes, because the village bully Zeng Laohu wants to force the little girl to be a concubine."

"Are you enough?" He Xi'er snorted angrily and slapped the desk and stood up.

With a bang, the desk with good pear blossom wood was torn apart under the force of his palm. And the old man also knelt down with weak legs, and kowtowed to He Xi'er again and again: "Please calm the anger, please calm the anger, please calm the anger, the old man really has no lies, every sentence is true." ”

This time, it was He Xi'er's turn to be completely stunned, looking at the old man begging for mercy on the ground with a blank face and at a loss. The girl dressed as a village girl also seemed to be frightened, and looked at He Xi'er in a daze.

After a long time, He Xi'er asked the old man in a very strange tone: "You, you really aren't the one surnamed Xia?"

"The old man's surname is Fu, not Xia. The old man on the ground was already sweating profusely with fright.

"Then what do you say, what kind of sour plum decanting soup did you invite me to drink when I was in Yangzhou?"

"That's because someone told me to say that"

At this moment, another person from outside came to report: "Fairy He, there is a young Taoist priest outside the door who claims to be surnamed Xia and asks to see him." said that it was Fairy He's old acquaintance. ”

"Tell him to roll me in," He Ji'er covered her forehead and sighed heavily.

After a while, the person who told her to cover her head came in, about twenty years old, smiling and smiling, revealing the oily air of the old rivers and lakes. This time it was finally the same person she expected and remembered, it was the wild Taoist priest surnamed Xia who she knew before, and the reward offered by the Qingzhou Luoshui Gang. She couldn't help but shout angrily and asked, "The surname Xia, what the hell are you doing?"

Xiao Xia didn't answer first, but immediately went to help the old man on the ground: "Daddy Fu, why are you kneeling on the ground? Didn't I tell you that this Fairy He is a good person with a chivalrous heart? You don't have to kneel and beg her, she will definitely uphold justice for you." ”

"What's going on?" He Xi'er pointed at Xiao Xia, and then looked at the old man on the ground, only feeling a mess in his head.

"Oh, this is the old man I met outside of Shangyang City. He was persecuted by the bullies of his fellow townspeople, and he lived on the streets with his daughter, so I took him to meet you by the way. I was late for something just now, so I let them come here first. I was afraid that they would not be able to come in, so I let him say that. ”

"Okay. I thought about it too much, I thought you were pretending to be like this" He Xi'er shook her head, and hurriedly walked over to apologize to the old man. "Uncle, the little woman had a misunderstanding just now, and she was really embarrassed to frighten the father-in-law. If there is any grievance in my husband, you can tell me in detail," she glanced at the woman standing next to her. "Then this is the old man's daughter?"

"No, this is my friend, who is also a close friend of the Ten Directions Master of the Pure Land Zen Temple, and a Mingyue girl who is also a descendant of Buddhism. Before, I arranged for Mr. Fu's daughter to go to the inn to stay first, and let Miss Mingyue accompany Mr. Fu to come first. Probably the person at the door misunderstood. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a friend of the Master of the Ten Directions, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful" He Xi'er hugged her fist at Mingyue with a look of surprise on her face. "Then I'll arrange for Uncle Fu to rest for the time being, and ask Miss Mingyue, you two to rest here for a while. ”

When He Ji'er personally took the old man away, and only Xiao Xia Mingyue was left in the house, Mingyue suddenly smiled at Xiao Xia: "Daoist Xia, you let me come with Father Fu first, and let me see if she has murderous malice before giving you a secret signal, are you afraid that she will arrest you?"

"Miss Mingyue, I'm really getting smarter and smarter now."

"Actually, you don't have to be afraid. Although this He Fairy is a little stupid, he is not a bad person. ”

Xiao Xia let out a long sigh and said, "Miss Mingyue, you don't know, sometimes those good people who are not very smart are more dangerous than bad people. (To be continued......)
