It's good that these many flower stands are placed, giving many people the opportunity to secretly cover up their heads and ears, such as Shen Fengming and Sun Jue.

"Didn't you agree to me?" Sun Jue looked at Shen Fengming very unhappily, "He trusts you so much, such a good opportunity, why don't you do it?"

"It was supposed to be done...... Shen Fengming rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand to point, "Did you see that person?"

"Which one?" Sun Jue was a little impatient.

"Qinglong left envoy, Cheng Fanghe. Shen Fengming said, "It's easy for me to move Xia Chen, but someone from the Green Dragon Sect has come—you also know how powerful the Blue Dragon Sect Master is, I can't give up my life for your money." ”

"So what are you going to do? Sun Jue said, "You didn't want to go back on your word, did you? If you wait for this martial arts conference to be over, you will return to Lin'an once - there will be no more chance!"

"I've heard that the Eastern Water Alliance was originally intent on dealing with him. Shen Fengming said tentatively, "Maybe-you and I don't need to do it at all." ”

"Do you have any exact news?" Sun Jue looked at him with wide eyes.

This expression made Shen Fengming a little disappointed - it seemed that Sun Jue didn't seem to be so clear about the plan of how the Dongshui Alliance was going to deal with Xiajiazhuang, at least at this time, he probably couldn't speak.

He coughed, "I heard about it, and I thought that if you followed your grandfather, you would know about it." In this case, you can only wait and see what happens-don't worry, I always have to deal with Cheng Fangyu first, clear the trouble, and then start cleanly. ”

Sun Jue had no choice but to say: "Then I'll go and inquire first-I'll believe you for the time being!"

Shen Fengming smiled. "Even if you don't believe me, I can't help it. ”

On the way back, Shen Fengming carefully looked at the fourth young lady of the Xia Wei family from the side. Most of the girls at this age are sweet and lovely, although Wei Ying was born in a family of rivers and lakes such as "Wushuangwei", but there is no trace of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes in his gestures, but it is very the quality of the ladies of some rich and noble families in the capital, and it is obvious that the family is very precious to her - you can also get a glimpse of the "Wushuangwei" is now no longer the old situation where people from top to bottom worked hard to survive.

Why did such a family, which was gradually detached from the bumps of the old times and hoped to live a new prosperous and stable life, respond to the call of the Dongshui Alliance and wade into the troubled waters of the rivers and lakes again? If it is not afraid of any threat from Qu Rebirth, it is hoped that if they join the alliance and follow the people, they can enjoy their own peace under the shadow of the covenant. Shen Fengming thought like this and looked around. If even the top three families in Lin'an City think so, then most of the sects that are coming today seem to be making a lot of noise, but in fact, they are just compromising and retreating out of not wanting to force themselves out and cause trouble.

He crossed the "Wushuangwei" and returned to the vicinity of the seat in Xiajiazhuang. The daffodils exude a rich scent in the center of each table, becoming a strange companion to the dullness of this winter day - the wax plums full of makeup on the flower floor seem to have lost their sense of existence in such a fragrance.

Halfway through the hour, the flower market has already been full, only a few seats in the center of the front are still empty, a few people are guarding here, obviously this is with what kind of character is left, but there is no Xishu name plate. The east and west entrances were half-closed, and only the "servants" remained back and forth on the passage, the colored silk sheltered the wind, reducing a little chill, and the little light that barely leaked in made the venue not too dim, and under the crowd, the thin water vapor that only belonged to the night disappeared with the silent evaporation of the sporadic thin ice.

But this is still a cloudy day without light and shadow that Shen Fengming is disgusting.

The crowd couldn't help but speculate on who the guest who had not yet appeared was. At this time, three or four figures were faintly revealed on the flower floor, and the sharp-eyed ones pointed out first: "Most of the upstairs are the rebirth of the alliance leader?" The building seemed to smell it, and one person walked to the porch, smiled and said: "The alliance leader has been waiting here for a long time, you are a little rest, there are still a few distinguished guests who have not arrived today, if you are bored, the contemptible Liang Twelve, the 'left sleeve' of the Dongshui League, this is to sing a song, and the right to relieve the boredom of the heroes from all walks of life." ”

Everyone was about to shout out to boo him, but when they heard him call himself the "left sleeve" of the Dongshui League, although they didn't know what the so-called "left sleeve" was, they expected to always be the number one - maybe he would be like someone else's "left envoy". If the "left envoy" of the alliance comes to sing music for others like a singer and entertain - no matter what, it should always feel like a face-saving person present. Or even in this way, many of the intrigues of the Eastern Water Alliance in the past few days—those cold murderous intentions that enveloped Jiankang—seemed to be easily erased by the clown on the first floor, and many of the fears that should have been felt seemed to be compensated for by condescending contempt in an instant.

Most people don't just do this, and those who are deep in their minds are becoming more and more vigilant. At this time, another person also appeared from the corridor on the second floor, "Under the twenty-five, together with the twelve brothers, to cheer for today's meeting." ”

"Liang Twelve", "Dai Twenty-five". If Shen Fengming was only slightly suspicious when he heard the former, then when he heard the latter, he was seven or eight points sure, these two people should be related to the "Eating Moon", the so-called twelve, twenty-five - probably the same title as "thirty", after all, a person does not have a big name, and it is very common to call the ranking alone, but even if the twelfth in the ranking is reasonable, it is necessary to rank twenty-five - ordinary people, it is unbelievable to have twenty-five brothers and sisters.

I don't know where the thirty are today. Thinking in his heart, he saw Liang Twelve and Dai Twenty-five standing opposite each other, both of them wearing wide robes, looking closely at the sleeves, they really looked a little playful. He secretly said in his heart that the leader of the Dongshui Alliance didn't know what his habits were—or he was really good at the "Lingren" in the previous dynasty, not only did he wear a Lingren mask on weekdays, but his subordinates were not masks, ink colors, or costumes. Just as I was thinking about it, the two of them had already thrown up their sleeves and talked, babbling and singing, while each holding an ink pen in their hands, and they actually painted each other's plain clothes and plain faces with watercolors.

After a while, the "makeup" of the two has been completed, and the exaggerated black ink on their faces is no different from the painted faces encountered by Shicai walking. The heroes saw such a scene more or less, and they laughed out loud when they saw it. Naturally, there are still vigilant - because it is not difficult to see that under the wide robes of the two of them, they are all dressed in strong suits, and they have shown the appearance of good hands;

At this moment, someone shouted: "Lord Tian is here!" Liang Twelve and Dai Twenty-five moved at the same time, and politely made a gesture of greeting. Xia Chen shrugged his face, and suddenly turned his head to see - the central seat that was not too far away from him, at least still in sight, was finally out of the way, and let in a familiar figure.

- His own brother Tian Qi.

Although Tian Qi had long been accustomed to his new identity and title, Xia Chen met the former eldest brother for the first time after he changed his surname. He wanted to get up a little excitedly, but Wan Xiyang and Xia Qin around him signaled him to calm down at the right time, and he could only bite his lip and didn't move.

It turned out - the seat was reserved for the "prince". Although not all of the heroes under the river know who "Lord Tian" is, most of them who have come from Lin'an know the story of this former high-flying and domineering Xia Dagongzi turned against his father and then joined the prince. In addition to this section, what is the meaning of the word "adult", even if you haven't read a book, you can understand it more - that is to say, this Jiangnan martial arts conference is actually just a kind of extension and vassal of the temple dispute in the rivers and lakes.

Shen Fengming also glanced at Tian Qi a few times - the prince has been looking for the expansion of the power of the rivers and lakes, and the support and maintenance of the military patrol in this conference must also be related to this, and it is not surprising to see the prince here, just like seeing Lord Ning in the gold medal battle of Tiandu Peak last year. It's just—it was him. This time - I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for Xia Chen, after all, Tian Qi's hostility towards Xia Chen is still very deep, and the Xia Jiazhuang he lost is a pain in his heart that can't be bypassed after all, but the Qinglong Sect also has a relationship with the prince today, maybe with the light of this prince's "ally", it can protect Xia Chen better?

But his eyes never missed that there were two more people behind Tian Qi - for Shen Fengming, the relationship between those two people was not shallow, just because one was Ge Chuan, the "Qingyun Hand" who was-for-tat and had a deep festival on Xia Zheng's way south, and the other was Song Ran, who had just taken a photo an hour or two ago.

The "leader of the three tests" changed into a more and more decent shirt at this moment, which was incompatible with this martial arts field, but he walked in a steady, as if that scholarly spirit could suppress this path of heroism. He said that he had a way to come, and he really came, and he took the most conspicuous path, and sat in the most conspicuous position - Shen Fengming had to admit that Song Ran was indeed the kind of person who didn't have to worry the most - he didn't have to worry about anything he promised but couldn't do it. Looking back, in just three or two months, he has long been closely involved with Tian Qi and the prince in the inner city, and when it comes to this rising star in the "Shaoxing Six Scholars", I am afraid that everyone in the capital already knows that this person has been accepted by the prince as a "confidant". is also that he has no grade for the time being, so he is a few points inferior to Tian Qi in the official face, and like Ge Chuan, he has the right to be the entourage of this Tian Daren. With this Wen Yiwu accompanying him, Tian Qi's courage to come here seems to have increased several times.

"Lord Tian is here. Upstairs, Dai Twenty-Five sang to the tune of the song. A gong suddenly sounded downstairs, and as Liang Twelve shouted, "Please join the alliance leader", a tall figure slowly emerged from between the two.

Tian Qi and the three of them sat down. Qu Chongsheng, who appeared on the second floor, was still wearing a mask that was only black and white, but the expression on the mask seemed to have a little more smile than the one Shen Fengming had seen before—he regarded it as a little jealousy of the heroes present after all. But if you look at it for a long time, such an unchanging smile is colder than the cold face with no expression, just because you always have the illusion that you see someone's expression, but the truth under this empty face may be ten times farther away from this smile than from the expressionless face.

The second floor is not the highest part of the flower building, but it is just for everyone to see - but under the railing of Qu Rebirth, only the upper body is visible, and this mask makes it difficult for everyone to remember the characteristics of this person even if they are curious, and even if they meet again in the future, they are afraid that it will be difficult to recognize. But Shen Fengming still smelled a familiar smell. He'd seen Qu reborn—in the shadows of that waterfront pavilion. But today's familiarity was different from that one's rebirth—he always felt that this familiarity at the moment was more derived from—from another dim conversation that was as narrow as a corridor. He glared at the mask as if trying to see something, but the mask certainly didn't respond to him. The man under the mask cleared his throat and began to speak.
