Regarding Liu Xunyi's private release of Xu Ren, Luo Tianjin was quite displeased.

Di Mo was disgraced as a black fan, so without waiting for Liu Xunyi and his party to return to Luoyang, he sent a secret letter urging him to go south quickly and rush to Longxiang Mountain, which was bound to take off Xu Ren's head and give Luo Tianjin a satisfactory explanation.

Xun Qin originally planned to part ways with Liu Xunyi and rush back to King Xian's Mansion first. But at this time, there was news that Shaolin disciples were killed one after another in the rivers and lakes, and she immediately noticed that there must be something strange in it, so she changed her itinerary and decided to go south with Liu Xun, so as to inquire about the six major schools and the reactions of the four major families along the way.

Longxiang Mountain is located in Weichu Mansion in Dali, thousands of miles away from the north and south of Luoyang City.

Even though Liu Xunyi and his entourage wore stars and moons, galloped fast, and arrived at the Jianchang Mansion where the Great Song Dynasty and Dali were handed over, it was already June 25.

Jianchang Mansion is located at the junction of the Great Song Dynasty, Dali and Tubo, with mixed dragons and snakes, good and bad. In order to sneak into Dali smoothly, Liu Xunyi and others had to stay here to prepare for a few days, and only after everything was ready did they decide to leave.

But just two hours before they were about to sneak into Dali, Luo Tianjin sent someone to rush to Jianchang with a fast horse, and secretly ordered Liu Xunyi and others to immediately give up the pursuit of Xu Ren, turn north, and be sure to rush to Chenzhou before the tenth day of the seventh month.

In the letter, they were only asked to rush to Chenzhou, but the reason was not explained, and Liu Xunyi was confused and did not know the truth. But since Luo Tianjin gave the order, how dare he disobey?

In desperation, Liu Xunyi had to temporarily give up his curiosity about Longxiang Mountain and the investigation of Liu Xunyu's whereabouts, and led the crowd back to the north and went straight to Chenzhou.

On the evening of the ninth day of July, Liu Xunyi and his entourage stepped into the boundary of Chenzhou.

When he first arrived, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Liu Xunyi decided to settle down at the Chenfu Inn first, and waited for Luo Tianjin's next order by the way.

On weekdays, business is bleak, and there are few guests at the Chenfu Inn, but these days it is overcrowded, and business is surprisingly prosperous.

Tonight, the inn lobby is still bustling with people. As soon as Liu Xunyi entered the door, he noticed that most of the people who appeared at the Chenfu Inn at this moment were people in the rivers and lakes with swords and swords, and the topics they talked about were inseparable from the tragedy of Master Shaolin Yuanji last month, when he was preaching the Fa in Xuzhou.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and at the same time, he also had a hint of understanding that Luo Tianjin had sent him to Chenzhou in a hurry.

At present, Chenzhou City seems to be "lively" and not quite right.

After waiting for a long time, the guy set up two more tables in the corner, although it caused a burst of dissatisfaction from the surrounding diners, but Liu Xunyi and the others still stubbornly sat down one by one in the crowded and noisy cracks.

"Door master, did you hear that?" As soon as he took his seat, Xu Heng whispered mysteriously, "Master Shaolin Fate died in Xuzhou City, and he was also dismantled by the people, and he died a very miserable death. ”

Tang Cong sighed in disbelief: "Counting this, Shaolin has already died a full eleven monks. ”

"Shaolin is worthy of being Shaolin, and it can be so forbearing. If it were to be changed to other sects, I am afraid that it would have turned the world upside down long ago. Xu Heng sneered, "Abbot Xuanming is really a high-ranking monk, and he can bear it." ”

Xun Qin looked around with great interest, and said meaningfully: "It seems to be calm, but in fact, it has long been a meeting of storms and clouds, and the undercurrent is surging. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Xunyi said suspiciously.

"Can't you see that?" Xun Qin chuckled, "The location of Chenzhou is extremely special, with the Xiangxi Teng clan in the east, the Tang Gate in Shuzhong in the west, the Emei faction in the south, and the Qingcheng Mountain in the north. After that, she suddenly changed her words and said, "The Lord of Luofu sent you here, it must have something to do with them." ”

Tang Cong looked around and said to himself: "This is only one inn, and there are at least five or six disciples of the sect, which is really even more exciting than the martial arts conference." Hehe......"

"Master Shaolin is a living Buddha in the world, the six dusts are spotless, the four are empty, tranquil and desireless, pure and inactive. ”

Suddenly, a nun in the inn said indignantly to the nuns beside her: "Such a high-ranking monk was brutally killed by the traitors of the Qin clan, it is really the anger of people and gods, and heaven does not tolerate it!"

Liu Xunyi only felt that this person's voice was a little familiar, and he couldn't help but follow the voice, but he saw "Huichun", the closed disciple of the head of the Emei faction, Miao'an Shitai, who was talking not far away.

Liu Xunyi once had a relationship with Huichun at Mozen's golden basin handwashing conference.

"Why is she here?" Liu Xunyi muttered to himself with a stunned expression.

"Nun, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. ”

Before Huichun's voice fell, someone at the other table suddenly choked and said, "Who told you that the murderer of the fate is from the Qin clan in Hexi?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a burst of laughter in the hall.

Huichun suddenly felt that his face was lost, and he couldn't help but turn pale, and said angrily: "People are talking, what kind of stubble is the dog talking about? bark all day long, for fear that others will not know that you are the lackey of the Qin clan in Hexi?"

"Haha......"

Huichun's retort sneered at each other, which instantly caused a burst of laughter.

"Who are you scolding a dog?"

With an angry shout, I saw a young man in a brocade robe suddenly get up and glared angrily at Huichun.

"Whoever answers the stubble, I will scold him!" Hui Chun was not to be outdone, glaring back at the young man with disdain, "I have seen someone pick up gold and silver, but I have never seen anyone pick up and scold." ”

With that, there was another burst of laughter in the inn.

"You ......" The young man was annoyed and angry, slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said angrily, "I am a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang Gan." There's a kind of I'll give you your name!" he spoke, and he held the sword to his chest, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Disciple Emei, Huichun. Huichun looked at Tang Qian contemptuously and sneered, "I knew that your four great families were a raccoon dog, and the Qin clan in Hexi was doing evil, and your Tang Sect in Shuzhong was also not a good thing." ”

"Bold!"

Before the words fell, several Tang disciples who were at the same table with Tang Qian had already taken the case, glaring at Huichun one by one, looking at their fierce eyes, as if they wanted to eat her alive.

The Emei disciples who were at the same table with Huichun did not show weakness, and they got up one after another, protecting Huichun's left and right, and formed a confrontation with the Tang disciples.

The Emei disciples and the Tang Sect disciples were tense, which made the atmosphere in the inn suddenly become tense.

The lobby of the inn, which was noisy just now, is as quiet as stagnant water at this moment.

"Emei senior sisters, don't be afraid! Qingcheng's right envoy Xu Zhun is here!"

Suddenly, there was a break in the lobby, and then a figure flew up, and his body flew down beside Huichun like catkins.

At the same time, on the other side of the hall, several Qingcheng Sect disciples also stood up.

Xu Zhun is also an old acquaintance of Liu Xunyi, and at Mo Cen's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference, Liu Xunyi also borrowed his silver dragon sword.

"What kind of ability is it to bully women?" Xu Zhun said contemptuously, "There is a kind of coming at me." ”

The "golden palm and silver sword" of the Qingcheng faction is known as famous in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, as soon as Xu Zhun appeared, the Tang disciples led by Tang Gan suddenly lost a few points.

"The three major sects of martial arts actually gathered in Chenzhou?" Liu Xunyi said in surprise, "What happened here?"

"And that's not all. Xun Qin smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand to the second floor and pointed with a smile, "Look there!"

Sure enough, before Xun Qin's words fell, a coquettish laughter full of banter suddenly came from the second floor.

"One is the closed disciple of the head of the Emei faction, and the other is the right envoy of Qingcheng, both of them are well-known big names in the rivers and lakes, and today they have joined forces to bully several weak and young Tang disciples. If you publicize this, I am afraid that you will all become the laughing stock of the heroes of the world. Hehe......"

The laughter faded, and two figures slowly emerged in the corridor on the second floor.

A man and a woman, both of them are Liu Xunyi's "acquaintances", and the woman is a master of raising poisonous insects in the Teng tribe in Xiangxi, Teng Qin'er. The man is the owner of a first-class house in Tangmen in Shuzhong, Tang Cheng.

It was Teng Qin'er who just made a mockery.

"Xiangxi Teng clan?"

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi, who was full of suspicion, was even more shocked, and secretly said in his heart: "There must be something big in Chenzhou, otherwise it will not attract so many martial arts powerhouses...... But what is the matter? The lord of the mansion has summoned me here urgently, could it be that it has something to do with them?"

"You are all invited by Ye Lao and come from afar. Today, even if you don't remember the friendship of fellow martial artists, you should look at Ye Lao's feelings, be a little restless, and avoid using knives and guns. ”

Just when the four factions of Teng Clan, Tangmen, Qingcheng, and Emei were staring coldly and fighting with their swords, a cold woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, a young and beautiful, cold woman in white slowly walked into the lobby of the inn. Her appearance made everyone who was originally reluctant to give in to each other hesitate, so they glanced at each other coldly, and then slowly put away their swords.

"Little girl, Elder Ye called us to Chenzhou, but why did he refuse to show up?" asked Tang Cheng.

"Ye Lao ordered me to pass a word to you, early tomorrow morning, please go to Taohuawu in the western suburbs of Chenzhou, where Ye Lao will be waiting for you. ”

"But ......"

"I have to go elsewhere to spread the word, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, farewell!"

After a few words, without waiting for anyone to ask, the woman in white did not stop for a moment, but left in a hurry, which was very strange.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he subconsciously exchanged glances with Xu Heng and a few others, but there was a blank look in their eyes.

"What's going on?" Tang Cong was stunned, "What is the origin of that woman, and where is the 'Ye Lao' in her mouth?"

Xu Heng shook his head again and again: "I don't know." I haven't heard that there are any martial arts heroes in Chenzhou, and there doesn't seem to be any strong rivers and lakes here. Isn't this Ye Lao from the rivers and lakes?"

"No, it won't. Liu Xunyi hesitated, "If you are not from the rivers and lakes, how can you invite so many martial arts people to come?"

Just as Liu Xunyi and a few people were speculating, another person walked in outside the inn, and the person looked left and right in the hall, and finally walked quickly towards Liu Xunyi.

"Chen Yong, why are you here?"

The person who came was the master of the Death Gate of King Xian's Mansion, Chen Yong. Liu Xunyi looked at Chen Yong who came in a hurry in confusion, and said suspiciously: "Could it be the mansion master......"

"The lord of the house has asked me to meet you here. Chen Yong continued, "I arrived in Chenzhou three days ago, and it is estimated that you are almost there, so I searched for you from inn to inn, and sure enough, I found you here." ”

"Sect Master Chen, what is going on with all this?" Xu Heng hurriedly asked, "Why did the Mansion Master suddenly summon us from Jianchang to Chenzhou? There are so many martial arts people gathered here, and a mysterious woman appeared just now, but what happened to me? Why am I getting more and more confused?"

"See for yourself!"

Chen Yong did not answer Xu Heng's words directly, but threw out a copper coin with a strange style from his sleeve, threw it on the table with a "bang", and turned to Liu Xunyi and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Liu Xunyi hesitantly picked up the copper coin and looked at it carefully. This copper coin is not an ordinary Song Tongbao, but has been specially forged, and the center of the copper coin is not a square hole, but a narrow shape of a thin hole, through the candle flame reflected on the shadow on the table, like a ...... A willow leaf.

Suddenly, Liu Xunyi's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Copper coin, Ye Lao, could it be that this is the one that has disappeared in the rivers and lakes for a long time...... Willow leaf copper coins?"

......
