The long night is long, the sun and the morning sun hang in the sky in a moment, the guests in the heart of the river are like looking for the sun to walk leisurely, blowing the breeze on the river, and in the whispering conversation, suddenly see a few leaves in the distance The boat is coming, and there are dozens of female guests on the boat.

Its clothes are light green, and it is clear that it is the traveler of the Jade Flute Gang, and the boat has reached the shore, and everyone is looking at it, and the head of the purple robe is the Jade Flute Gang Zhong Xiang Guan Guan Master Lin Jing.

They all bowed and worshipped, Lin Jing took all the disciples ashore, and bowed back with a smile one by one, Taihu, Songjiang and other factions all came to see the salute, although the guests were polite, their hearts were a little down, because the Jade Flute Gang advocated that Lu had not arrived, and Lu Yunxiang, the once famous Qingyao Viewer, had not been seen.

Shuangchen and Li sat around the wooden table, drinking wine, hearing that the jade flute helped the girl had arrived, they all got up and rushed to take a look, the apricot blossom Lin Zhong Liu Yan came over with a piano to salute, Lin Jing smiled and greeted, Li Yan arrived at the entrance of the stage early, and saw that everyone had stopped following the etiquette, so he led the jade flute to help the woman go to the upper seat.

The Jade Flute Gang has been running around for many days, working hard, and his body is extremely sleepy, Li Yan saw that his fatigue was gradually rising, so he led him to go around the table and go to the restaurant to sharpen.

The group entered the building and asked for dozens of guest houses to rest one by one, Zhong Liuyan still sat in place, eating tea and enjoying the wind, Tao Ming lost his sword power last night, and returned to the house to recuperate, so far the internal strength has not recovered, even if he is unwilling to defeat Li Xian, he can only endure it for the time being.

I secretly knew that after a few days of banquets on the river, it was not too late to fight again, and now that Haosheng has recovered his sword power, he drank rice wine with a few friends.

Zhuying drank for a long time, the sky gradually admired, all the travelers went to dinner, and then continued to drink for the moon, or went back to the house to rest, Zhong Liuyan carried the piano out of the stack, came to the riverside alone, put the long qin on a wide chair, sat on a small stool, plucked the strings to breathe, and played a song by himself.

This song travels through the Yangjiang River, around the soul three feet, the riverside high-rollers all come to listen to it, there are still people who are both civil and military, and immediately make a word, narrating the poem and welcoming the song.

In the shed, Li Xian heard Zhong Liuyan plucking the piano and playing the music, and hurriedly walked over to watch, and at this moment one person suddenly said: "On this good night, the piano sound and poetry are complete, Tao is not talented, and he wields a sword indiscriminately, just to cheer everyone up." ”

Before they saw him, they heard his voice first, and everyone turned around to take a look, and saw that the man's cheeks were flushed, and he was holding a wine utensil, the tip of his sword was mopping the ground, and the iron blade was cutting the ground with a slight firelight.

Li Xian knew the true body of this person when he heard the voice, and when he saw his half-drunk and half-awake appearance, he suddenly felt resentful, that person was that Tao Ming.

Tao Ming felt bored in the day, so he drank a little wine, but from morning to night, his guests and friends drank back to the house to sleep, but he still drank freely, and listened to the music of the piano at night, and was happy to come, drawing his sword and cutting the ground to dance the sword to the fullest.

Everyone applauded loudly, Lin Jing rested quietly for a long time in the stack, and listened to the qin poems when he went out of the stack at night, and saw Tao Ming's words, only watching the play from the sidelines.

Tao Ming saw that everyone was discussing, so he raised his sword and swung it, the speed of the sword was slow and fast, when it was slow, it was drinking, and when it was fast, it was dancing with the sword.

Li Xian fixed his gaze on the side, and the Tao Ming sword flow was elegant, without a trace of internal energy, but he could pose for a general sword picture, although he admired it, he was also willing, and the scabbard in his hand moved, and he wanted to raise the knife to compete with him, but this good scene was not good to ruin everyone's interest.

So according to the knife without the title, Zhong Liuyan saw that the two of them chanted poems and danced swords, their expressions were slightly rippling but they were not known to others, they were only content with the piano, and the three of them became paintings, and they were really poetic.

The high-rollers were having a lot of fun, and suddenly heard a sigh in the distance, the person who chanted stopped talking, the person who danced the sword stopped his sword, and the jade hand on the bell willow smoke string hung in the air.

One by one, I looked back at that place, and saw a person coming with his hands in his hands, his hair was straight, his robe was brown, and he had a beard under his chin.

Lin Jingshou, the master of Zhongxiang Temple, asked: "On this shallow night, why does the head of the king sigh?" Wang Qin smiled and said: "The old man saw that all the heroes were happy and chic, and he thought that everyone was about to suffer the disaster of slaughter, and his heart was miserable, and he couldn't help but sigh a little. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and then there was an uproar, and Lin Jing suddenly said: "Don't make fun of us, when will we be slaughtered?" Wang Qin said: "Don't you know? Li Xian raised his voice and said: "What do the county lords of Daliang have to do with me?" Wang Qin smiled and said: "Li Shaoxia doesn't know why, the old man has already known that the lord of Daliang went south to inspect the secret situation in the rivers and lakes, and made meritorious contributions to the imperial court. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately angry, and Chen Yuan was shocked when he heard it: "How can we believe the words of the head of the king?" Wang Qin said angrily on the spot: "My Songjiang faction also has some famous purposes in the rivers and lakes, how can I make trouble out of nothing and put it in injustice?"

Taihu sent Lu Youzi to lead some disciples to hear it, and walked among the crowd and said solemnly: "Since it is the words of the head of Songjiang, it should be true, such major events in the rivers and lakes should not be child's play, please discuss it in detail in the stack." ”

Just when the noisy sound suddenly stopped silent, the leaders of the various factions met, so that the disciples were outside, and they all advanced into the restaurant, and Li Yan, the big disciple of shallow water, asked the shopkeeper for a wide room.

More than a dozen heads went up to the third floor to enter the room to discuss secretly, Shuangchen Yili, Zhong Liuyan, Tao Ming and others stayed outside the stack, each thoughtful, not very speechful, Chen Zhao's face was solemn, his hand on the fence looked at the river, and suddenly heard a whisper in his ear: "When the rivers and lakes are in danger today, what does the master of Chen Zhai think?"

Chen Zhao turned his face suspiciously, but saw a bright moon face, lined with the hazy night, and his mouth moved carefully.

Hearing this, he suddenly didn't know how to respond, so he only tilted his face and thought for a moment, looked at the other side, and replied: "Whether the rivers and lakes are in danger has not yet been decided, and it is difficult to argue below." Zhong Liuyan suddenly asked again: "If the danger of the rivers and lakes is indeed a foregone conclusion, what should the owner of the village do?"

Chen Zhao saw that he was sonorous and determined, his eyes were clear, but he said: "Chen is also a person from the rivers and lakes, if the court is unreasonable and the army is rising, I should spare no effort to deal with it." ”

When Zhong Liuyan heard this, his face was slightly happy, but this joy was like a starry day, and it was appropriate for the wind to close the moon.

only secretly hid his shame, and apologized for being rude: "Don't blame the owner of the village, the concubine doesn't know how to count etiquette, and there are many collisions, please see me." ”

Chen Zhao bowed his hand and refused to salute, and for a while he didn't touch Zhong Liuyan's shallow sleeves, the two of them touched each other's skin, and immediately felt embarrassed, and wanted to withdraw quickly, but they felt that everyone was around, and it was not good to be too public, so they pretended to be fine, so they had a tacit understanding, and their skin slowly left, and the two regressed slightly.

Li obliquely looked at it, secretly thinking that Zhong Liuyan had always been alone and sitting on a wooden chair, drinking tea and meditating and ignoring other things, even if he talked to others, it was also taken by others to do it.

Tonight, they talked spontaneously, and approached Chen Zhao to talk to him, and the two whispered quietly, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Li Xian couldn't help but walk forward and suddenly said, "Brother Chen and Miss Zhong are so comfortable." ”

Zhong Liuyan's thin body trembled, and when he turned back, Li Xian hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Li Xian, the eldest disciple of the Ten Thousand Dao Sect, is fortunate to meet Miss Zhong." Zhong Liuyan raised her skirt to return the salute, and Chen Zhao said timidly: "I still have something to do, please take care of the two." ”

After saying that, he walked away, Zhong Liuyan glanced at it slightly, there seemed to be reluctance in his eyes, Li Xian asked: "What are you talking about with Brother Chen?" Zhong Liuyan said: "Fang Qian and the owner of the village are just talking about some things about the rivers and lakes." Li Xian said again: "Let's see that Miss Zhong is intentionally talking, do you know Brother Chen?"

These words immediately made Zhong Liuyan slightly embarrassed, and he didn't answer for a while, Li Xian felt speechless, and Zhong Liuyan's first acquaintance asked such a question, but he really didn't have the spirit of the rivers and lakes, and he bowed for a while and said: "Don't blame Miss Zhong for being rash in the next words, and don't blame Miss Zhong for the rudeness." Zhong Liuyan said with a smile: "Li Shaoxia does not need to blame himself, I and the master of Chen Zhai are both Yecheng people, when I was in the apricot blossom forest to play the qin, I heard the name of the master of Chen Zhai, and admired it in my heart. Li Xian said: "Brother Chen has such a reputation, which really makes me admire." Zhong Liuyan said: "Chen Zhai lord in the Yecheng area from time to time to help the weak people, although the mountain is the mainstay, but never loot the villagers, and sometimes the silver rice grain to help the villagers, so the reputation is very good. ”

Li Xian secretly thought about Chen Zhao's heroic bearing, reflecting that he had always been ashamed of Xuemen, diligent in practicing Chiyou knife techniques, and avenging his master's hatred in the future, but he was not as good as Chen Zhao's mind and the people, and he was ashamed in his heart, and only said in his mouth: "Miss Zhong knows heroes with her eyes, and praises Miss Chen for Brother Chen." ”

After saying and doing salutes, Zhong Liuyan returned the salute without a title.

The heads of the various factions have been in the same restaurant for more than three hours, but they still don't see it come out, and the heads of the more than a dozen factions gather in the spacious room to argue endlessly about the court's desire to swallow the various factions.

The Jade Flute helped Lin Jing to go against it, not believing such fallacies, and Wang Qin of the Songjiang faction argued that this was his own sect to find out the news, and there would be no mistake, and to see how he was born quickly, Lin Jing asked: "The head of the Wang Sect is so determined that the imperial court intends to carry out a crusade, can you tell me in detail how you found out, it should not be just your conjecture." ”

Wang Qin saw Lin Jing's pursuit like this, so he had to come to Chen: "Lord Lin Guan and listen carefully, don't miss anything, my Songjiang faction is located in the Central Plains, but the position is slightly northerly, so I am more familiar with the affairs of this northern land than you, and you should always know about the smuggling of the lord of Jinling Bianyang County from the imperial capital." ”

The heads of the family said that the escape of the lord of Daliang County from Beijing had already been known to the whole country, and Wang Qin continued to say from Chen: " Since that incident, I secretly sent the disciples to Jinling to inquire about the news, the disciples entered Jinling, the Liang county lord of the Beijing people frequently slandered the matter of the flying pigeon to tell me, I Du that the county lord why he fled to Beijing on the matter is very puzzled, a thought suddenly arose, immediately the flying pigeon replied to the disciple in the door, so that he pretended to be a poor slave to mix into the Bianyang Mansion, the disciple received the letter and obeyed, looking for an opportunity to coincide with the lack of servants in the Bianyang Mansion, mixed into the two into the house to ambush, since then stayed in the mansion, at that time outside the mansion was noisy, the two of them sent a letter back to the gang every five days, the voice of my heart, are the words of the capital, until Emperor Liang ordered the commander of the imperial army to surround the Bianyang Mansion, and the waiter was not allowed to leave the house, At that time, there was no letter back to the faction, I was a little anxious, and then I sent a message back to the house outside the eyeliner, only to know that the Bianyang Mansion had been surrounded by the imperial army, so the disciples in the house could not send the letter back, and then the county lord who fled the capital returned to the house, and was brought into the palace by the imperial army, and after some time, Zhao Ping, the king of Bianyang, returned to the house, and then overnight, I sent the disciples to the cowardly to explore, and flew to the roof rubble to hear, but heard the words of the king of Bianyang and Mrs. Liyang, to the effect that the saint is going to marry the lord of Bianyang to the fourth prince Xiao Zong, and after getting married, he will find a day to discuss the crusade against the rivers and lakes。 ”
