Unconsciously, it was already noon, and the two of them forgot the time when they chatted, it was all a secret thing in the rivers and lakes, Du Xi'er didn't feel bored when she heard it, until someone came over to remind her that it was time to eat, and the three of them realized that the time had passed.

Le Zhengshang instructed his subordinates to prepare a meal, and as soon as he gave the order, a guard holding a stick with eyebrows came and whispered. Le Zhengshang's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he hurriedly confessed and left.

Le Zhengshang left the attic and quieted down, Du Xi'er seemed to have returned to the valley when she was alone with Qin Guiyu, Qin Guiyu didn't say a word, and Du Xi'er didn't say a word.

After a while, people prepared meals and delivered them, and people gradually came to the other attic pavilions around them, and the voices of conversation were endless, most of them about today's alliance leader's birthday.

Qin Guiyu is not afraid that someone will recognize him, after all, more than ten years have passed, and most of the people who have seen him back then are martial arts seniors, and they should all be celebrating their birthdays in the alliance lord's mansion at this moment, and the surrounding ones who can't enter the alliance lord's mansion are not in their eyes.

However, their conversation surprised Qin Guiyu a lot, and he even got up and walked to the door to look at the attic next to him. Fortunately, the conversation on the other side was loud, and it also attracted people who were not interested in listening, but it did not attract attention.

I only heard one person: "I heard that Qin Guiyu, the lord of the valley, is also coming to congratulate the alliance leader on his birthday, I don't know if this matter is true or not?"

The other person's voice was loud, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him: "That's natural, I voted for a prayer post half a month ago, can there be a fake?"

The previous man asked: "Does he really dare to come?" The master of the Dugu Alliance has a big birthday, and all the people who come to congratulate him are people with extremely high martial arts, covering the sky with one hand, if I return to the feather, I don't dare to go." ”

The man who replied slapped the table and said "hey" and said: "This is the gap between you and me and Qin Guiyu, I don't dare to go to anyone on this matter, do you dare to go?"

The person who was asked shook his head again and again, and now the person sitting in the alliance leader's mansion estimated that he was not an opponent if he pulled out a random person at his table, and this was not a life in vain.

The person with a loud voice was extremely excited, and said: "But Qin Guiyu is really here, let me tell you, there is a rich man surnamed Sima in this Jiangnan Tang Country, do you know?"

The people around him replied in unison: "I know, I know." ”

A voice came from an attic next to him: "The rich businessman's surname is Sima, named Fengnian, hehe, although the monarch of Tang Guoguo is an incompetent person, Sima Fengnian is not affected, and the silk business is getting bigger and bigger, and he also gave birth to a daughter named Sima Pet, who is known as the 'first beauty in martial arts' in Jiangnan." ”

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a group of people sitting in the attic, and the person who spoke before hugged his fists and said: "Zhang Qianli, a person in Jiangnan, has a nickname in Jiangnan called 'Qianli does not stay for a long time'." ”

The people around hugged their fists and said "long admiration", but in fact, no one had heard of it.

The person with a loud voice was a little unhappy when he was robbed of the limelight, and said loudly: "That's right, it's this Sima Fengnian, I don't have a friend who knows this Sima Fengnian, and Sima Fengnian received an invitation from the leader of the Dugu Alliance a month ago." ”

A person next to him asked loudly: "This Sima Fengnian is a businessman, how can the alliance leader invite him, I think you are just talking nonsense." ”

The man's eyes widened and he said, "Who said nonsense, do you believe it or not......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Qianli took over the conversation and said: "I can testify for this brother Tai below, because I heard that Sima Fengnian's daughter Sima Chong has a marriage contract with the youngest grandson of the alliance leader." ”

The man with a loud voice said loudly: "Look at what I said! I heard my friend say that this Sima Fengnian personally said that Qin Guiyu, the lord of the valley, voted for the prayer post, saying that he would personally visit the alliance leader on the day of his birthday, that is, today, to celebrate the birthday of the alliance leader. And this Sima Fengnian heard about Qin Guiyu, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come at all. ”

Qin Guiyu stood in front of the door and secretly sensed that something was wrong, so he stopped a subordinate and asked, "Why are there so many people in this backyard today, is the front yard full?"

Xiao Si said: "Today's alliance leader's birthday, the shopkeeper Le has reduced the price of the backyard attic by half in order to celebrate the birthday of the alliance leader, so there are more people than usual, and if the guest officer feels that it is noisy, he will rearrange it." ”

Qin Guiyu shook his head and said, "No need, you can go." ”

At this moment, a man with a lot of temperament standing not far away looked at this side, Qin Guiyu turned his face to look, and saw that the man was wearing a navy blue crane, tied with a royal blue belt, and had a pair of translucent eyes, and what attracted attention was that the man was holding a long sword in his hand.

The man hugged his fists and said, "Huashan faction Chen Lonely." ”

Qin Guiyu nodded and said, "Shuchuan Tang Yu." ”

Chen Lin said respectfully: "It turned out to be the Tang family in Shuzhong, and the valley is located in the south of Bashu, Brother Tang has ever heard that Qin Guiyu came to congratulate him on his birthday?"

Qin Guiyu shook his head and said, "I don't know", he really didn't know that he came to make an appointment with Ayao this time, and he arrived early because Le Zhengshang was invited, and there was no arrangement to meet the leader of the Dugu Alliance.

Chen Lin smiled and said: "This matter has long been rumored in the rivers and lakes, but the rumors in the rivers and lakes are suspected of exaggeration, so many people can't be sure." I heard my senior brother say that this time Qin Guiyu not only came in person, but also took the 'Xuanwu Double Dagger' as a congratulatory gift. ”

Qin Guiyu's eyes moved slightly, if this is true, then he knows who is the mastermind in this matter, and asked with his fists clenched, "Your Excellency's senior brother is?"

Chen Xiao said: "The head of the Huashan faction, Yun Tiannan. ”

Qin Guiyu turned around and went back to the attic with a bad face, Chen was stunned, and thought that he had offended the other party.

Qin Guiyu sat at the table and thought for a while, and only after a while did he speak: "It seems that I have to go to Qianhe Villa." ”

Du Xi'er listened to all the conversations just now, and said at this moment: "Xi'er is willing to go for the master." ”

Qin Guiyu looked at her, his original intention was to go to Qianhe Villa in person, but the past was complicated, and it was just asking for trouble when he went, so he thought for a long time before saying: "Well, it's a good way." ”

After that, he called someone to get pen and ink and wrote a letter to Du Xi'er, and instructed: "At this moment, there are many people in Qianhe Villa, you must not reveal your identity. There is the Dugu Alliance Master over there, and you will not be in danger, but you must not hand it over to someone other than the Alliance Master. ”

"Yes!" Du Xi'er promised to put the letter away.

Before leaving, Qin Guiyu said again: "If you perceive danger, the Dugu Alliance Master is a credible person. If you don't come back later, I'll pick you up. ”

Du Xi'er walked to the front yard, and what she didn't notice was an ethereal building guard who passed by her, and after she left, the guard looked at Du Xi'er suspiciously.

This guard is the person who came to find Le Zhengshang before, so he remembered Qin Guiyu and Du Xi'er, he received a letter asking for Qin Guiyu and Du Xi'er, and at this moment he couldn't help but have some doubts when he saw Du Xi'er leaving alone.

The guard came to the attic where Qin Guiyu was and handed over a letter, Qin Guiyu took it suspiciously, but saw that the envelope was written "Qin Valley Lord personally opened" and the payment was actually A-Yao!

Qin Guiyu held the letter in his hand and did not open it, but looked at the guard who sent the letter, this guard must have read the title on the envelope, indicating that he already knew who the person in front of him was, and Qin Guiyu was waiting for him to explain.

The noise around him seemed to be fading, and the water vapor mixed in the wind seemed to be more obvious, and the guards sensed a strong murderous aura, and their backs were already soaked for some time.

The person who sent him the letter seemed to be extremely casual, it seemed to be just an ordinary letter, and after getting it, he found that it was abnormal but he didn't take it to heart, because he trusted that person very much, so he didn't say a word until he died, and he didn't say who asked him to send the letter.

Qin Guiyu gently helped him sit down, as if he was tired, and there was no abnormality from a distance.

-------------------------------------

The alliance leader's mansion is called Qianhe Villa, located in a corner of Lizhou City, unlike the ethereal building located in a prosperous place, the location of Qianhe Villa is remote, like the character of the martial arts alliance leader Dugu Ming's palm.

Although the location is a little remote, it is not difficult to find, on the contrary, any person can give you detailed directions.

Du Xi'er asked for directions, and soon came to the location of Qianhe Villa. This is already the edge of the Lizhou City, and the Qianhe Villa is next to the city wall on both sides.

From a distance, the Qianhe Villa is only a big building compared to the ethereal building, and the black courtyard wall is not too high, so people with better light skills can climb over it at will. Most of the houses are dilapidated, and there are not many popular ones, which is probably the reason why the villa can be built so much.

Lizhou City was already the northernmost one that could be chosen when the leader of the Wulin League was elected, but it was still located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was located at the junction of the four kingdoms of Zhao and Song in the north, Nanping in the middle, Chu in the south, and Li Tang in the east. However, now that Nanping and Chu have been destroyed, Lizhou City has long been under the jurisdiction of Song.

At that time, because of the conflict between the Jianghu sect and the Song army, the people in the city suffered, and most of the dilapidated houses around were abandoned at that time. Although Dugu Ming became the leader of the alliance, and the status of the rivers and lakes of Qianhe Villa also rose, but no one cleaned up here, and this area has lost its popularity over the years.

Du Xi'er came to the main gate of the villa, the gate was open, and when he looked inside, he could see a goose wing-shaped wall carved and caulked with clear water bricks, and the word "Hongxi" carved in the middle of the wall was carved, and there were two rows of nurses in front of the wall on both sides.

Du Xi'er had just stood still and didn't look at it much, when a man came over to see the invitation. Where did Du Xi'er get the invitation, he could only clench his fists and said: "Please let me know, I want to see the leader of the Dugu Alliance." ”

The man looked up and down and said, "You can't enter without an invitation, please go back." "Then he turned around and left.

Du Xi'er said: "I have something important to see the leader of the Dugu Alliance, please let me know." ”

After all, the man is also an experienced person, and he doesn't rush people, and asked: "There are countless high-rollers here today, all of them are here to congratulate, if I let people in at will, it will be my dereliction of duty, I don't know who the girl is, what is the matter with seeing the alliance leader?"

Du Xi'er frowned and thought secretly: If it is, I can't tell it in a few words, but my identity is special, if I let outsiders know, I am afraid it will be a lot of trouble.

Then I thought about it: The Dugu League leader is 80 years old today, and the master may have had dealings with the alliance leader when he was young, and the master also said that the Dugu League leader is a credible person, as long as he sees the alliance leader, all problems can be solved.

After thinking clearly, Du Xi'er said: "Please inform the leader of the Dugu Alliance, and say that the heirs of the Valley will come to congratulate the leader of the alliance on his birthday." ”

The man's complexion finally changed, and he looked at Du Xi'er and nodded slightly: "That...... I'll tell you later, girl. ”

Du Xi'er said: "I'm tired." ”
