Chapter 298: Smell the Wind and Move
Early the next morning, King Xian's Mansion.
Luo Hongxuan and Su Tang looked serious, and there was a bit of panic between their eyebrows.
The two of them trotted all the way, through the house and through the courtyard, and went straight to the back hall. The subordinates and disciples encountered along the way all hurriedly dodged to avoid them, and at the same time, they couldn't help but show a touch of curiosity in their eyes.
In the back hall, Luo Tianjin sat at the table, holding a piece of pastry with chopsticks in his right hand, and a letter in his left hand, looking thoughtful, as if he was fascinated.
At this time, Luo Qibi waited respectfully on the side, although he was quite curious about the content of the letter, but in front of Luo Tianjin, he didn't dare to make a mistake, lowered his eyebrows, and didn't say a word.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and Luo Hongxuan and Su Tang hurriedly came. Without waiting for them to salute Luo Tianjin, Luo Qi waved his hand first to interrupt their movements, and motioned for the two of them to make a sound.
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, but slowly stepped aside and waited patiently.
After about a stick of incense, Luo Tianjin put the pastry in the chopsticks into his mouth, chewed it lightly, and then threw the letter on the table, reproaching him with dissatisfaction: "Who made today's pastry? I have never liked sweets, but he actually made this osmanthus cake so sweet and greasy, so unpalatable!"
"It's a new cook, and I probably don't know much about the tastes of the owner. Luo Qi hurriedly smiled and said, "I will be strictly disciplined when I go down." ”
"No need!" Luo Tianjin said lightly, "His craftsmanship is far worse than that of Madame." It's useless to stay, sweep the floor and go out!"
"Yes. Whenever Luo Tianjin spoke, Luo Qi complied.
"My mother and my father have lived for many years, and they know their preferences very well, so they can naturally make pastries that satisfy you. Luo Hongxuan said with a smile, "But now my mother and little sister are going to Wudang Mountain to visit my grandfather, and the return date is undecided, so you can only be wronged for a few days." If this cook doesn't like it, the child will choose another one for you. ”
It was only at this moment that Luo Tianjin set his eyes on Luo Hongxuan and Su Tang, and taught: "Xuan'er, everyone in this world has their own place and their own things to do. Finding a cook is something else to do, and it's not your turn to interfere. Your time and energy should be focused on what you have to do. ”
Luo Hongxuan wanted to please Luo Tianjin, but unexpectedly he was counted, and he was inevitably disappointed, and then his eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "What Dad taught me is that the child knows that he is wrong." ”
"Hmm. Luo Tianjin replied lightly, then changed his words and asked, "What's the matter here?"
"Back to the mansion master, Luoyang City has not been very quiet these days, and my son and I have found out some news and want to ask the mansion master to decide. Su Tang said.
"What's the news?"
"A few days ago, a group of Mongols reportedly sneaked into the city. Luo Hongxuan replied, "Late yesterday night, there was a fight outside the Sixi Inn, and one of the parties was this group of Mongols. ”
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked rhetorically, "Who is the other party?"
"Tang Gate's 'Hidden Weapon House Owner' Tang Lone, 'Inner Ring House Owner' Tang Xiu. Su Tang said in a condensed voice, "According to investigation, they followed Tang Xuan to this point, but for some reason they mistakenly fell into the ambush of the Mongols, and finally used the secret weapon of the Tang Sect 'Heaven and Earth Net' before they could pick up a life." ”
"Heaven and Earth?" Luo Tianjin was secretly taken aback, and said with a smile, "One of the three major killing weapons in the Tangmen secret weapon room, it is as famous as the 'Heavenly Maiden Weaving'. To force them to use such a secret weapon, it seems that this group of Mongols is not good. ”
After that, Luo Tianjin's eyes moved, and he asked again: "Who did you just say that Tang Xiao and Tang Xiu were following here?"
"Ghost Hand Rakshasa, Tang Xuan. Luo Hongxuan replied solemnly, "He is a brother with Tang Yuan, the head of the Tang Sect, the 'Thousand Hands Shura', who turned his back on the Tang Sect more than ten years ago, and now his identity is ...... One of the four protectors of Longxiang Mountain. ”
"Shhh
Luo Tianjin took a deep breath, then frowned, and thought carefully: "Tang Lone, Tang Xiu...... Tang Xuan, Tang Yuan...... Mongol...... Why are they involved?"
"Mansion Master, we have also found out about something. ”
"Speak quickly!"
"Based on the size and appearance described by the innkeepers, we deduce that the Mongols are very likely to come from the three factions of Saibei. Su Tang groaned, "Childe said that among the people described by the inn guys, there are a few people who are very similar to Long Yu and the three major stalls of the Huma Gang. ”
"I see. Suddenly, Luo Tianjin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "I understand why these people are involved." ”
"Please teach the ...... of the lord"
"Do you still remember how Huichun, a disciple of the Emei faction, died in Taohuawu in Chenzhou?" Luo Tianjin chuckled, "It was the Tang Sect's secret weapon 'Heavenly Maiden Weaving' that killed her." But the murderer who ambushed her was not a disciple of the Tang Sect, but Long Yu. Therefore, Tang Lin and Tang Xiu, as the owners of the secret weapon room and the inner ring room of the Tang Gate, should find out about the leakage of the 'Heavenly Maiden Weaving'. After careful consideration, they finally pointed the finger at Tang Xuan, who had betrayed the Tang Sect for many years. Reasonably, except for the Tang Sect in the world, it seems that only Tang Xuan can imitate the 'Heavenly Maiden Weaving'. ”
"In this way, it was Tang Xuan who provided Long Yu with a secret weapon?" Luo Hongxuan said in surprise, "In other words, Tang Xuan and the Mongols ......"
"It's just a raccoon dog. Luo Tianjin answered, "This can also explain why the second elder of the Tang family obviously came to Tang Xuan, but last night at the Sixi Inn, he fell into the trap of the Mongols." ”
"I see!"
"It's just that why did they appear in Luoyang City?" Luo Hongxuan frowned and hesitated, "Tang Xuan and Tang Xiu are here for Tang Xuan, so why did Tang Xuan and the Mongols come?"
"Isn't this clear?" Luo Tianjin said with a smile, "Their goal is far away in the sky and close at hand." ”
"We?" Luo Hongxuan said in astonishment, "Dad means that Longxiang Mountain and the Mongols are coming for us?"
Luo Tianjin nodded and said, "Although I still know what they want, but in Luoyang City, apart from the Xianwang Mansion, I really can't think of anyone else who can attract them?"
"No! They must have come prepared. Su Tang thought about it again and again, and suddenly spoke.
Luo Tianjin looked at Su Tang with interest and asked, "Why do you say this?"
"These days, we are busy making friends with people from all walks of life to prepare for next year's martial arts conference, so the masters in the mansion have been sent out on errands, and now the mansion is empty, isn't it a good opportunity to take advantage of the void?" Even the fourth master of Yan was sent by the lord of the mansion to visit Mrs. Miao'an by the Emei faction. In addition, Di Mo, the black fan, and Ling Qing, the owner of the Wounded Gate, visited Qingfeng Village, White Horse Hall, and Happy Forest respectively, and Liu Xunyi, the owner of the Shocked Gate, also went to the Valley of Despair...... The seven heroes in the house have come out of six, and the masters of the next three doors have poured out of the nest, and now there is only one dead door master Xu Heng, who is still injured. In such a situation, if the Mongols and Longxiang Mountain join forces and send a large number of masters to take advantage of the situation, the Xianwang Mansion will definitely fall into a crisis!"
The "Four Wild Goose" in Su Tang's mouth is one of the seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion, and the people of the rivers and lakes call it "a lonely sword for thousands of miles".
Although she is known as the "Fourth Master", she is an out-and-out woman. is also a cold-blooded beauty who kills people like hemp and is ruthless with a sword.
Twenty years ago, the wild goose did not return, but he was a swordsman killer who made the people in the rivers and lakes fearful. His fierce name and status are quite similar to today's "ruthless swordsman" Tang Afu.
The difference is that the wild goose has always had no door and no faction, and likes to go alone, so it is called "a lonely sword for a thousand miles".
As for her true origin, little is known. Why was such an unruly lone wanderer willing to be driven by Luo Tianjin? No one knows.
The wild goose does not return to the martial arts, especially the swordsmanship, which is rarely matched in the rivers and lakes, and it is extremely rare among women.
Although she is a woman, her temperament is more vigorous than that of men, and her methods are more ruthless than that of men, so the disciples of Xianwangfu call her "Fourth Master of the Wild Goose" to show their reverence.
"During these days, Jin Fuyu has made frequent moves, if I don't move, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will take advantage of the loophole. Luo Tianjin's fingers tapped lightly on the letter on the table, and said in a deep voice, "This is the latest secret report sent back by the spies in the early hours of this morning. The letter said that during this time, the Qingcheng faction had close contacts with Jin Jianwu, and Zuo Hongxuan had already surrendered to Jin Fuyu. ”
"On the second day of the eighth month, when Jin Fuyu recommended Zuo Hongxuan to be the chief minister south of Qinhuai, his wolf ambition was already revealed. Luo Hongxuan said indignantly, "In addition, during this period of time, Jin Jianwu frequently secretly sent benefits to the Qingcheng faction, Zuo Hongxuan was selfish and greedy, and it was inevitable that he would be shaken. It's just that I never expected that he would be shaken so quickly, and the matter in Hexi was less than two months ago, but he had already ...... Alas!"
Su Tang answered: "Wudang and we are Qin Jin's good, and there will be no difference between the pool." But the other sects are ......"
Jin Fuyu not only won over the Qingcheng faction, but also secretly reconciled the grievances between the Qin family and Shaolin. Its real purpose is to take the opportunity to climb Shaolin. Luo Tianjin said lightly, "However, Jin Fuyu's move gave me a wake-up call." It allows me to take it seriously and strengthen my relationships with other sects as soon as possible. At the same time, I had a very bold idea. ”
Su Tang looked straight at him and hurriedly asked, "What does the mansion master mean ......?"
"Jin Fuyu wants to dig into my corner, why can't I tear down his platform?" Luo Tianjin said with a smile, "The relationship between the six major sects and us is not solid, and the relationship between the four major families and Jin Jianwu is by no means monolithic. ”
"Dad wants to win over the four great families?" Luo Hongxuan said in surprise.
"Why not?"
"This ......," Luo Hongxuan hesitated for a moment and hesitated, "It's not that much." It's just that we have never had anything to do with the four great families, and now we have made friends with them, but we are afraid of ...... It's not that easy to ......."
"If you go uninvited, of course it's not easy. Luo Tianjin smiled secretly, "But if someone takes the initiative to come to the door, the result will be very different." ”
"Take the initiative to come to the door?" Luo Hongxuan was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment, "Who?"
"Report!"
Before Luo Hongxuan's words fell, a rapid news suddenly came from outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fang rushed into the back hall in a hurry, and bowed to Luo Tianjin without saying anything: "Mansion master, there is a guest asking to see." ”
"Xuan'er, the person who took the initiative to come to the door is here!haha...... Luo Qi, serve tea in the middle hall!"
Luo Tianjin laughed loudly, and at the same time slowly got up, and without asking who it was, he had already taken Luo Qi and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Looking at Lin Fangda, who was stunned, Luo Hongxuan, who was also confused, couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "Lin Fangda, who is coming?"
"The two owners of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong, Tang Lin and Tang Xiu. ”
