Chapter 55: Shang Huaitong (I)

"I don't think so, let's see how long it takes." Two men with slightly wet sideburns talked.

"Alas, in fact, it is really a good strategy to export half of the Moon Lake."

"That's why it's lost in the modern era."

"Hahaha."

"This doesn't look like it's going to work out this year."

"Oh? But I've heard that the tone on the judge's side is basically relaxed. ”

"Yes, but the Five Lakes Gang lives on this water."

"Did the Five Lakes help them have the final say?"

"Originally, it didn't count, but now people have another name, called Baishuidong."

"Hmm, yes"

Pei Ye listened to the voice in his ear, and his eyes were still looking outside the pavilion.

People kept running in the garden, and the pavilion was gradually crowded, and suddenly a familiar broad figure came into view.

She was dressed in a dirty gray and white military uniform, her shoes were muddy, and her hair was damp - not that it was ruined by the rain after it was neatly combed, but that it was already messy, and when it got wet, it was a little more appropriate.

Zhang Junxue.

She also hurried to avoid the rain, obviously not seeing Pei Li. At this time, there was still a last place under the pavilion, just wide enough for the woman to squeeze in, but Pei Ye saw the two brocade-clothed girls behind her frowning and whispering something, Zhang Junxue paused for a moment, and then silently opened the road sideways, allowing the two petite girls to avoid it.

The rain was already as tight as a beating, Pei Ye frowned, and was about to raise his hand to call out to the woman, when the crowd behind him suddenly burst into the air, it turned out that Bowangyuan hurriedly opened the wind viewing platform that had not yet been arranged, and asked the guests to go in first to avoid the rain.

This move was naturally popular, Pei Ye walked in with the flow of people, and saw that the viewing platform had been almost arranged, Pei Ye looked at it, and the scene inside was far beyond his expectations. He thought it would be some chairs and cushions, with tables and small tables, but when he came up, there were nearly 200 small wooden pavilions!

Solid wood is propped up and draped down, and each invitation can claim one, and each room can accommodate two or three people.

The handymen were still nervously shuttling to finish, and the two entered the door from the east to the westernmost side, and this column was facing the lake, with a good view. Some of the seats in the back were constantly being sat in, until the wooden pavilion in the second row was already lying in, and a pair of slimy boots were being exposed.

The two sat down in the first row, Pei Ye didn't have an invitation, so naturally he could only rub Li Yiqing's.

And in just a while, the wind and rain outside the stage have rested again, and it has turned into silk rain again.

"It's been autumn for so long, and there's still this kind of weather." The girl said.

Pei Ye nodded and didn't answer, his eyes were still on the door. Sure enough, after a while, the familiar broad figure walked in.

Then two other figures walked in behind her - Xiao Qiu and Zheng Dong.

The two didn't seem to expect to see Zhang Junxue here, Xiao Qiu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't seen it. Zheng Dong's expression immediately turned cold, and he didn't know what to say. Zhang Junxue lowered her head and didn't speak, but she didn't move, and the whole person stood in place.

And Xiao Qiu and Zheng Dong walked over her and walked over to this side.

"Son of a bitch." Zheng Dong grinned, a mouthful of saliva seemed to be spit out, but suddenly choked in his throat.

Pei Ye was already standing in front of him.

"What did you just say?" The boy said coldly.

"......" Zheng Dong froze in place, his face turned pale, "I, I didn't-"

Li Yiqing looked at it in surprise.

"-I, what the am I talking about, it's about you-!" Zheng Dong's face turned red at first, "You care. So much? ”

This tone was hard and cowardly, Pei Ye frowned, and was about to speak, when Xiao Qiu next to him said: "Zheng Dong didn't say anything too much, Pei Shaoxia." ”

"I didn't scold. Didn't scold her to her face! Zheng Dong straightened up, "Isn't it okay to be honest?" ”

"What are you telling the truth?"

I asked her. Short of dog food again? Who are you going to bite this time" Looking at Pei Ye's cold face, he shouted loudly in a little panic, "It's a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised!" Aren't you allowed to say it? ”

The voice may have been too loud, and Zhang Junxue, who had already moved at the door, stopped her figure again.

"Xiao Qiu, isn't this too much?" Pei Ye turned his eyes to look at Xiao Qiu.

"Not excessive." Xiao Qiu looked back calmly.

At this time, Li Yiqing suddenly realized, she smiled and beckoned: "Zheng Dong, come and sit here." ”

In front of this sentence, Zheng Dong's feet moved at least three beats faster than his brain, and his face was red as a persimmon and he walked quickly, like a victorious rooster.

Suddenly, a Confucian scholar next to him stood up and leaned over to look at Li Yiqing tentatively: "But. . . Miss Cuiyu Li in person? ”

Pei Ye turned his head, he had seen this Confucian uniform, it was the style of the academy. There is no trace of martial arts cultivation on the scholar's body, and he has been looking left and right just now, obviously the characters who "watch the excitement" as Li Yiqing said.

"Well, Childe is"

"Ahh I can really meet it! The scholar stroked his palms in surprise, excited and inexplicable because he was in the "martial arts", he lost his etiquette for a while, and only turned his head to look around, "But I don't know if I can see Zhang Mozhu Gongzi and Shang Huaitong Gongzi again."

Li Yiqing smiled: "Zhang Mozhu Gongzi was down there just now-"

It was as if someone had stepped on the tail of a vicious dog.

"-Did you just eat in your mouth?!" Zheng Dong, who was walking towards Li Yiqing's right, turned around sharply and grabbed the scholar's collar.

Pei Ye turned his head in astonishmentβ€”for the first time since that conflict, he had seen this evil aura in this young man again.

The scholar retreated in fright, and Xiao Qiu had already grabbed Zheng Dong's arm with a loud voice - "Xiao Dong! ”

But the next sentence still drank out of the young man's throat without diminishing in the slightest: "What kind of rotten bitch was Shang Huaitong born!" ”

The surroundings and even the entire venue were silent for a while.

The scholar's face turned pale, and at this time he remembered that the rumored Cuiyu Sword Gate and the Qijiao Cave were not in harmony with the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect it to reach such a high intensity.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's mine, isn't it" He thought that Zheng Dong was also a disciple of Cuiyumen, and said for a while, "Yes, Shang Gongzi does have a bad reputation, and it is still Miss Li who is glorious and beautiful." ”

"Don't listen to your brother's nonsense! He is not a disciple of the Cuiyu Sect either. Xiao Qiu raised his voice and said, "The descendants of the three factions have their own merits, and there is nothing to compare. ”

Zheng Dong was about to speak, but was forced back by Xiao Qiu's cold eyes: "Apologize!" ”

Zheng Dong just didn't hear it.

Li Yiqing also frowned and glanced at Zheng Dong, and smiled softly at the scholar: "I'm sorry, you don't have to care about this, you can see whoever you want." Shang Gongzi, Zhang Gongzi, and I, no matter what our relationship is, has nothing to do with others. ”

But the scholar looked at her stunned, as if he had suddenly found his way.

"No!" He said loudly.

β€œ.”

"The harm of the five lakes and the evil of the three factions began with Qijiao, and everyone knows it! Who doesn't know the good name of Cuiyu? I often think that although Shang Huaitong is temporarily strong, he takes advantage of age and cultivation, like a tree without roots, although it is heavy and wants to fall; Although Miss Li is temporarily behind, she is a chick that will flyβ€”if a bird flies, it is always taller than a tree. ”

"Good knowledge!" Zheng Dong turned his anger into joy, "You scholars are those who can talk!" ”

Li Yiqing shook his head and smiled.

Suddenly, there were two crisp applause from behind, and a lazy male voice said, "It's really insightful!" ”

Pei Ye turned his head to look, but it was the man who was lying in the curtain just now who straightened up: "It's a beautiful thing to be woken up by this high talk." ”

He was dressed in black, tall and thin, with hard and clean eyebrows and eyes, and the bridge of his nose was a little too high.

Pei Ye had a startled glimpse of this face - when he first entered the city and stood at the gate of Bowang Garden.

"Brother Tai thinks so too?" The scholar looked back in surprise.

The man nodded: "This sincere and pertinent remark, the Cuiyu Sword Sect has been inherited for four hundred years, and the "Jade Collection" has been quenched for a long time, and it can be relied on by the sect; The Qijiao Cave Sect is just a rabble, and the "Seven Jiao Sword" is just a seven-door swordsmanship that everyone came out of the year, and I came out of the sect, and barely made up the seven swordsmanship, which has been carved for one hundred and eighty years, and it is still difficult to hide the roughness, and it is not elegant - the Seven Jiao Cave now seems to be cooking oil with fire, but the most embarrassing place is that there is no real sword of the Legislature. Without this sword, there is no way to keep people, no way to train people, no matter how big the momentum is, it will eventually disappear. ”

The scholar listened stunned: "The knowledge of the son is really high, dare to ask if it is Zhang Mozhu Gongzi?" ”

The man smiled: "My name is Shang Huaitong." ”

β€œ.”

"I helped set up the venue last night, I didn't sleep much, I'm really sorry to take a break here."

"Shang Gongzi is humble." Li Yiqing said lightly.

"There is no modesty. Because of this, the need for an excellent swordsmanship in the Seven Jiao Caves is so urgent. Shang Huaitong smiled and looked at Li Yiqing.

Pei Ye raised his head - excellent swordsmanship, is "Avalanche" good enough? "Emerald Collection". Is it good enough?

The girl looked back faintly: "The Emerald Feather Sword Gate will always be." ”

Shang Huaitong nodded and smiled: "Naturally, but maybe you might as well move." ”

At this time, the scholar came back to his senses, and his face turned pale. In fact, he has a good family background, and he has always been more curious than afraid of martial arts, otherwise he would not have come here today to sing Dan to see the excitement.

But Zheng Dong's appearance of wanting to beat someone just now really scared him - he didn't say anything that he would be treated like this, if he said bad things about him in front of the Seven Jiaodong Legends. You don't want to lose a hand, do you?

"Shang, Shang Gongzi, I just made a disrespectful remark."

Shang Huaitong waved his hand: "What's not inferior, it's a fact, what can't be said." Senior Sister Li also said just now, no matter what the relationship between the three factions is, everyone can speak freely. ”

"Shang Gongzi! Today, it is better to know that it is better to be famous than to see it! The scholar's blood surged back to his face, and a relaxed smile leaked out of his face, "With such a bearing, why worry about Qijiao's displeasure?" ”

Shang Huaitong smiled, and the scene was quite harmonious for a while.

So a sharp burr came in again.

"It's fucking weird." A ruffian voice sounded coldly, "Pigs can crawl out of the dung pit and become people." ”

Xiao Qiu's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly glared at Zheng Dong beside him, but although the young man's face was pale and his tone trembled, a pair of thin eyes stared at Shang Huaitong fiercely, and his lips were almost bitten by himself.

Shang Huaitong was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "I just said that I was woken up by his words, and I just wanted to pretend that I didn't hear your previous offense, so why do you have to humiliate yourself?" ”

β€œ.” Zheng Dong's whole body was trembling, he stared at Shang Huaitong without saying a word.

"Wash away humiliation and break the enemy with a bloody sword, you have repeatedly provoked, and you must have been prepared for this." Shang Huaitong turned around and took out a black sword from the curtain just now.

He pulled out a snow-white blade and looked at it.

Zheng Dong's face was bloodless, his hands and feet were cold and weak, but his eyes were still staring at Shang Huaitong fiercely: "The smell of on your body hasn't been washed yet." ”

Pei Ye, who had a conflict with him, can imagine how rare this courage is for young people.

"Draw your sword." Shang Huaitong only said lightly.

Zheng Dong gritted his teeth, and at this time, a wave of blood surged back on his face, and he suddenly stretched out his arm to pull out the long sword at his waist.

was held down by Xiao Qiu's hands.

"Shang Gongzi, my brother is young and ignorant!"

Shang Huaitong only looked at Zheng Dong.

Li Yiqing stood in front of Zheng Dong without saying a word.

Shang Huaitong raised his eyebrows: "What does Senior Sister Li mean?" ”

"Zheng Dong's words and deeds are all my meaning." The girl said.

"Is Senior Sister Li serious?"

"Really."

"So this revenge is even on Senior Sister Li? Is this the meaning of the Emerald Feather Sword Gate? ”

"Yes."

Shang Huaitong's voice suddenly turned cold, and his eyes looked at Li Yiqing: "Okay!" Then this life and death is between you and meβ€”what about your sword? ”

Li Yiqing stretched out his hand to Pei Liyi.

"No way!" Zheng Dong shouted loudly.

If Shang Huaitong was already in the sixth life, how could Li Yiqing be his opponent? Myself. How could he be given such an easy reason to kill?

"One person does things, one person does it!" Zheng Dong's eyes were red, and he struggled to draw his sword, but how could he get out of Xiao Qiu's palm.

Shang Huaitong suddenly smiled.

"You don't even have the power to decide whether or not you can draw your sword." He sighed, and as soon as he let go, the half blade he drew fell back into its sheath.

"How could I kill Miss Li?" He smiled and looked at Zheng Dong, "I won't kill you either, it's just some verbal dispute." We can solve it in another way - where are you from? ”

The word "Zheng Shou" hung on his lips, but Zheng Dong looked at the man's peaceful expression, but opened his mouth twice and didn't say it.

There are many Zhengshou people in Qijiao Cave, and there are many people in Zhengshou County waiting to enter Qijiao Cave every year.

The scene was quiet for a while, and Zheng Dong's face turned white.

Shang Huaitong looked at him with a faint smile, but he didn't persecute him anymore: "On 'truth', others will die for you, and on 'fame', countless people will be influenced by you." It is said that one person does things and one person is responsible, but you can't take the slightest responsibility for your words and deeds, just a child who has not grown up. ”

"Shang Gongzi Gaoyi." Xiao Qiu clenched his fists and bowed his head, turned around and said solemnly, "Zheng Dong, is it okay to compensate Shang Gongzi." ”

These words are no longer loud, but they are full of firmness that cannot be refused.

Zheng Dong opened his mouth, his gaze subconsciously looked in one direction, as if asking for help, as if asking for permission, but more of it was still at a loss.

He is indeed reckless, stupid, inward-looking, ignorant of the overall situation, and mindless, but as long as he approves of a signal, he will carry it out without the slightest hesitation.

Just like I've been doing for the past two years.

Li Yiqing didn't avoid his gaze, but she only opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
