The eighteenth year of Yongtai, August 14.

Luoyang City ushered in the quadrennial event of the Central Plains martial arts as scheduled - the "Young Heroes Meeting".

As early as the beginning of August, they had begun to warm up for the conference, and today, the city is already full of people and bustling.

For the people in the city, this conference is like a festival, which can not only stimulate the economic growth of the city, but also allow them to watch a lot of excitement, and in the future, it can also be used as their capital to blow with outsiders, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless.

On the other hand, the government has a bit of a headache for this kind of activity; because there are many people in the city, there will inevitably be friction, and although the people in the rivers and lakes have their own set of rules, even if they take their lives, they do not need to be managed by the government, but they are still under pressure as the party that maintains law and order.

Fortunately...... In order to alleviate this pressure on them, Shen Youran gave a lot of benefit fees, so they "endured it".

In the morning, just after the hour, the elders sent by the gates to attend the conference, as well as the "young heroes" who were invited to attend the meeting, all came to the helm of the Justice Gate one after another.

Most of the people who practice martial arts get up early, and at this point, the sky is also bright, just right.

Of course, there are exceptions......

For example, Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai, because they live in the Justice Gate, they don't need to get up early in the morning to wash and change clothes, take invitations, and visit the door...... Just wait for your work.

In addition, in recent days, Sun and Huang have developed the habit of sleeping until the end of the day and getting up again because they are too leisurely, so when the others come to the Justice Gate to attend the meeting, the two of them are still sleeping in the house.

At three o'clock in the morning, the reception hall of the Justice Gate was already full of heroes and heroes from all walks of life.

And sitting on the main seat in the depths of the hall was Shen Youran, the current sect master of the Justice Sect and the youngest sect master in the history of their sect.

At this moment, even a calm person like the Lord of the Shen Sect couldn't help but feel a spring breeze on his face, and he was overjoyed.

On the surface, he was proud of the prestige and respect he had gained at this moment, but secretly, he was even more happy about his "great plan".

"Master, all the invitations have been received, and the people have arrived. At this time, a disciple came to Shen Youran's side and whispered.

Shen Youran listened, and immediately continued: "Okay, ready to serve tea." ”

"Yes. The disciple received the order and quickly retreated.

Not long after, more than a dozen disciples of the Righteous Sect came to the corridor outside the lobby door with trays full of teacups and waited.

At this time, Shen Youran also stood up from his seat in time and cleared his throat.

He hadn't spoken yet, but the act of standing up had already attracted the attention of almost everyone in the hall.

"Everyone......" The moment Shen Youran opened his mouth, the venue was solemn, no one made any more noise, and everyone quietly listened to Shen's speech, "Everyone...... Fellow Jianghu people, senior teachers, fortunately to be here today, Shen was not well invited, and he looked at Haihan. ”

should be polite, Shen Youran is still quite good at talking in this meeting.

"Lord Shen is too humble. "I've seen Lord Shen. ”......

And the guests in the lobby also got up one after another to salute, although they all spoke different words and sounded messy, but the meaning was almost the same, and it was also kind words.

Of course...... There are also those who are not polite to him.

For example, the second and third positions of the Cao Gang sitting below: Feng Shunfeng and Feng Shunshui, still sat in place and didn't move, not even looking at Shen Youran - anyway, everyone in the rivers and lakes knew that their Cao Gang was at odds with the Justice Gate, and they didn't mind being seen out.

However, no matter how bad the relationship between the two gangs is, the Cao Gang, as one of the four sects and three gangs, still has to send two important figures to attend an occasion like today, not to mention ...... This year, the nephew of Di Buttiless, the leader of the Cao Gang, was also invited to attend the meeting, even if it was just to protect his shortcomings, he had to send someone to come.

After a while, when everyone finished talking in a chaotic manner, Shen Youran replied again: "Shen Mou is not talented, this time he was elected by many heads and seniors, and led the Justice Gate to take over the preparations for this year's Young Heroes Conference...... Here, Rong Shen replaces wine with tea, toasts everyone, and hopes that all colleagues must appreciate their faces and drink this cup with Shen......"

As he spoke, his disciples of the Righteous Sect had already walked in with tea and watered it into the hands of the guests.

Some people don't like to drink wine, or they can't drink it, but anyone can drink tea, and there is only one reason why they don't drink it, and that is to not save face.

And at this juncture, it was the two of the Cao Gang who blatantly refused to give Shen Youran face......

Everyone brought the tea in the direction of the Shen Sect Master, only Feng Shunfeng and Feng Shunshui were still sitting, and they didn't reach out for the cup on the coffee table at hand.

"Feng is the second master, the third is in charge...... Why are you doing this?" Shen Youran saw the actions of the two of them, so he paused the action of serving tea and asked in front of the two people.

As soon as he asked, the eyes of everyone in the lobby naturally looked towards Er Feng, and some whispers immediately came from the crowd, undoubtedly talking about the gossip of the Cao Gang and the Justice Gate.

Those two were watched by so many people, but they didn't look flustered.

After a short silence, I saw that Feng Shunfeng stood up unhurriedly, clasped his fists at the people around him, and then looked at Shen Youran, and responded: "Master Shen, Feng has something unclear, I want to take advantage of the fact that all my colleagues are here right now, and ask for your advice." ”

Hearing this, Shen Youran's face sank like water, and he slowly put down the teacup in his hand: "Feng Er is in charge, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

A sneer immediately appeared on Feng Shunfeng's rugged face, he stretched out his hand and twisted the mustache on his chin, and asked in a strange manner: "I heard that in this conference, in addition to the invitation list jointly decided by the major factions, the Shen Sect Master also invited several young heroes who were not on the list in his own personal capacity...... Is that the case?"

"Yes, there is such a thing. Shen Youran replied frankly, "This is one of Shen's powers as the person in charge of the conference, and all the colleagues here also know it, does Feng Er have any objections to this?"

"Hmph......" Feng Shunfeng snorted coldly, "Then can you ask Master Shen to tell you about the few people you invited yourself, on what basis are they called 'Young Heroes'?"

Shen Youran also smiled when he heard this: "Heh...... Based on Shen's judgment, isn't it enough?"

That's a bit crazy.

But I don't have to say that it's enough...... That should be enough.

In today's martial arts, even if the status of Luoyang Righteousness Sect is not as good as that of Shaolin Wudang, which has a long history, it is by no means beyond the reach of those second- and third-rate sects;

A young man recognized by a first-class sect master like his Shen Sect Master, it is more than enough to be called a "young hero".

But Feng Shunfeng doesn't care about this, he just wants to find fault, and he has to stir up three points if he is unreasonable......

"Hah! good! Feng Shunfeng smirked, and then his eyes turned to a small monk in the lobby, "This little master of Chunkong...... Although he has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, he is a senior disciple of Master Lonely Dust of Shaolin Temple, you invite it, and it will be enough......" He paused, and then looked at a young man in a light-colored robe, "This descendant of 'Cangshan Feihe', Liu Yikong Shaoxia, you went to invite...... I don't think you will have any opinions. He paused again, and then his expression changed, "But...... I heard that you also invited a young master named Sun Yihuan, who is a businessman in Hangzhou, what is going on?" his yin and yang tone came again, "Could it be ...... Can the quota of this Young Heroes Club be bought and sold?"

Feng Shunfeng's words were poisonous, he obviously didn't have any evidence, just because of Sun Yihuan's family background, he implied that Shen Youran had accepted the benefits of the Sun family to invite Sun Yihuan to the Young Heroes Association.

Of course, it is implied in the book that Shen Youran does have a conspiracy and is indeed worried about the Sun family, but he will definitely not do it for money.

However, the words of man are terrible...... Moreover, Sun Yixiang and Huang Donglai have always been regarded by the outside world as Shen Youran's "related households" these days, so as soon as Feng Shunfeng said this, many people in the lobby who were already jealous or suspicious of them also began to talk about it.

"Feng Er is in charge, you just ...... what you say" Shen Youran just wanted to refute the other party.

Unexpectedly, at this moment......

"Hahahaha......"

I could only hear a loud laugh coming from outside the door.

The laugher, whose voice was like spring thunder, was frightened, and in a few steps, his figure was like a gust of wind through the hall, swept into the hall, and stood in front of the Feng brothers.

Everyone in the hall looked at it, this person was about forty years old, dressed as a Taoist priest, carrying a long sword on his back, and his hands were floating and sinking.

Many people who had seen him immediately recognized him, and couldn't help but exclaim his name softly - "Silver Road" Bai Ruhong.

"What a 'young master of the Shangjia family'. As soon as Bai Ruhongfu stood still, he looked at Feng Shunfeng with a contemptuous gaze, "Poor Dao traveled here from the south of the Yangtze River, and what I saw and heard along the way, I only knew that there was a Hangzhou Sun Yihuan and a Shuzhong Huang Donglai...... These two people, go to the horse village to destroy the bandits, the Yangtze River estuary to deter the river bandits, the Luzhou Mansion to break the strange case, and the Longwang Cave to kill six thieves...... The cannibal shop picked the tip of the chopstick, and Zhixian Pavilion defeated Xiao Dezu......" He finished saying this string in one breath, and turned his head to scan the lobby, "Poor Dao would like to ask you, among the 'young heroes' here, how many of them think they are better than these two 'young masters' in the matter of chivalry and righteousness?"

The young men and women present were all seventeen or eighteen years old, and most of them still had faces.

When Bai Ruhong said this, many people who were still quietly releasing Sun and Huang just now lowered their heads in shame, or at least they were silent and stopped talking.

"Senior Bai ......" And after Feng Shunfeng heard this, he was a little embarrassed, "These things ...... Did they really do it? Could you have misheard it somewhere?"

His attitude towards Bai Ruhong is still very good, because everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the four "Golden Beggars, Silver Dao, Bronze Confucians, and Iron Monks" are all doorless and unfactional, spontaneous, jealous and hateful, and moody...... is that the martial arts are extremely high, and no one can manage it, as long as he feels reasonable, he will do it with you if he doesn't agree with him, and if he does it, he may abolish your martial arts.

Therefore, even if the surnamed Feng dared to offend Shen Youran, he would not dare to make a mistake in front of Bai Ruhong.

"Nonsense!" Bai Ruhong was not so polite to Feng Shunfeng, "Then you just said that the Shen Sect Master accepted the benefits of the Sun family, where did you hear about it? Or do you mean to spew blood?"

"No, no, no...... I didn't mean that......" Feng Shunfeng was stunned at that time.

Now, no one will question Sun Yihuan's qualifications to participate in the conference or Shen Youran's shady things.

Shen Youran, who was standing in the distance and watching coldly, also felt that the matter was almost over here, and he had to give the surname Feng a step down, otherwise he would really fight, but he would miss his big deal.

"Senior Bai, don't be angry. After a breath, Shen Youran stepped forward quickly, came to Bai Ruhong and the Feng brothers, and bowed his hand, "I want to ...... Feng Er's family didn't mean anything else, but he was worried that the quota of the Hero Club would be mishandled, so he asked this question. My two virtuous brothers, Yihe and Donglai, are indeed newcomers, and it is understandable that Feng Er does not know their deeds. ”

"Hmph. When Bai Ruhong heard this, he saluted Shen Youran, and then looked at Feng Shunfeng with slanted eyes, "It's still Shen Changmen's understanding and general knowledge...... That's it, the poor way is also on your face, so don't say a word. ”

"The juniors thanked the Bai seniors. Shen Youran immediately laughed, and gestured to his subordinates, asking them to serve tea to Bai Ruhong.

After another moment, Shen Youran returned to the main seat, and finally, he drank the cup of tea that everyone was giving to everyone.

This time, even those people in the Cao Gang were embarrassed not to give this face......

And after this "sip of tea", Shen Youran's plan has already decided on "three percent", and what about the remaining "seven percent...... Let's listen to the breakdown later.
