It was late at night when Deng Changchuan brought Liu Xunyi back to the Lu Mansion, because of the experience of the Sushui Pavilion, Liu Xunyi naturally didn't dare to be too ostentatious in the Lu Mansion when he came late at night, and he didn't dare to alarm anyone. Deng Changchuan led him to a rather deserted side room in the side courtyard for the night, Liu Xunyi simply cleaned up and lay on the couch, thinking about the experience of the next two days, and couldn't sleep for a long time.

Liu Xunyi almost lost his life on the third day of coming to Quanzhou, which made him jealous of the rivers and lakes that he had longed for for the first time. Compared with the danger of intrigue in the court, it turns out that the open and secret battles in the rivers and lakes are not far behind, and the kung fu of a meal can change the situation again and again.

If it weren't for Deng Changchuan's mention tonight, Liu Xunyi would only be afraid that he wouldn't even know how to die. Not only is his life not guaranteed, but he will also be infamous as a thief who is spurned by everyone, and his death will be both confused and unjust.

originally thought that everyone in the rivers and lakes was a heroic hero, but he didn't know that the world was as black as a crow. In the eyes of Sikong Zhu and Shen Dongshan, Liu Xunyi is like a cat or a dog on the street, and life and death do not matter at all. Now that I think about it, if I really listened to Sikong Zhu's high-sounding words and went back with him, I was afraid that I would have already died now.

At the moment, the gratitude to Lin Fangda in his heart increased again, and at the same time, he felt deeply guilty for his reckless actions.

Liu Xunyi reached into his arms and took out the handkerchief that Zhao Xin gave him, a touch of softness finally appeared on his tired and dignified face, and his fingertips carefully felt the smoothness of the handkerchief, and Zhao Xin's smile also came to mind, especially the sentence "I'm waiting for you", which especially warmed Liu Xunyi's heart.

"For the sake of Xin'er, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, I must break through. Liu Xunyi silently said in his heart, "I must go back alive, I promised her that I must go back to see her alive......"

The obsessive Liu Xunyi became more and more firm in his beliefs between sleeping and not sleeping, and the handkerchief attached to his chest brought him endless warmth, as if he was holding Zhao Xin in his arms, which made Liu Xunyi's nervous mind gradually settle down.

Liu Xunyi lay on the couch with a lot of thoughts, tossing and turning from time to time, and I don't know if I fell asleep this night, but the east of the sky has been slightly white.

"Bang, bang!"

In a drowsy mood, a crisp knock on the door quietly woke Liu Xunyi up. He opened his eyes slightly and stared at the bright sky outside the window, as if he was thinking about his situation at the moment, and only after a moment did he slowly open his mouth and say, "Who?"

"Brother Xian, it's me, Lin Fangda!" Lin Fangda replied outside the door, his tone sounded quite happy, obviously he was in a good mood at the moment.

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi quickly turned over and stayed at the hotel, opened the door and welcomed Lin Fangda, who was full of smiles, in, and asked, "When did the eldest brother come?"

"I arrived before dawn. Lin Fang Dao, "Today is a big day, so I came here early to listen to the dispatch of the Mansion Master." It was still early for me to come to the Lu Mansion to see me, so I didn't disturb the virtuous brother's clear dream. ”

"If the lord of Luofu has any send, the eldest brother can just give orders, and the younger brother should be disrespectful. After that, Liu Xunyi hurriedly asked, "Big brother, did Sikong Zhu in the Sushui Pavilion make it difficult for you again last night?"

"How dare he?" At this moment, Lin Fangda was holding a plate of porridge and vegetables in his left hand, holding a burden in his right hand, and replied as he walked towards the house, "To put it mildly, Sikong Zhu has to see who the owner is even if he beats a dog, and he doesn't dare to embarrass the people of the Xian Wangfu if he has ten guts." Ha ha...... Did you sleep soundly last night? Yesterday you were chasing thieves and saving people, you must have been tired, hurry up and eat some porridge and rice!"

"Brother Lao is worried, I was fortunate to be taken care of by Fifth Master Deng last night, and the younger brother is all right. Liu Xunyi took the porridge and baggage in Lin Fangda's hand and asked, "Lord Naluo Mansion...... But blame the eldest brother for the younger brother's affairs?"

Hearing this, Lin Fang smiled stupidly and said: "Originally, the mansion lord wanted to punish me this morning, but fortunately, Ning Yu pleaded in time, Daoming Xian Brother and we had the grace to save our lives, and I helped you last night It was a gesture of gratitude and retribution, how could the mansion master be aware of the righteousness and pursue it again? And there was no big mess last night, it was considered a merit and demerit, and the foolish brother naturally escaped." Hey hey ......"

"It's me who has caused the eldest brother, if I hadn't acted recklessly to save the white girl, I wouldn't have provoked so much right and wrong. Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly.

"My own brothers don't speak foreign words, not to mention that they have all passed. Lin Fang waved his hand absently and said, "Brother Xian eats something, and then changes the clothes in this baggage, and the eldest brother will take you to see a good show later." ”

"Show?" Liu Xunyi drank up a bowl of hot porridge in two or three bites, opened the baggage, but saw that it was a set of pale cyan plain cloth clothes, and couldn't help but look puzzled, "This is ......"

"Didn't you say last night that you wanted to see Mo Cen's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference?" Lin Fang Dao, "Although Master Shen refused to help you, but made so many troubles, but in the end, it was a mistake, last night you were brought into the Lu Mansion by Deng Wuye openly, and the rest of the things will naturally be easy for the eldest brother." This is the clothes of the people of the Xianwang Mansion, first wronged the virtuous brother to put it on, and then you will mix in the people of the Xianwang Mansion, and go to the Lufu Martial Arts Field with the mansion master to participate in Mo Cen's golden basin handwashing conference. ”

Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel grateful when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The eldest brother can remember that the younger brother is already grateful, so how can he talk about grievances?" After that, Liu Xunyi hurriedly changed into cloth clothes, and Lin Fangda personally brought a small crooked hat for him, making Liu Xunyi look more like an accompanying servant.

Walking out of the side courtyard, the sky was already bright, people everywhere inside and outside the Lu Mansion were longing, disciples of different sects hurried between the covered bridges in groups of three or five, except for a few whispers, most of them were in a hurry, silent, and the solemnity of the atmosphere was like heaven and earth compared to yesterday in the Water Pavilion.

"Big brother. Liu Xunyi had a thought in his heart, suddenly grabbed Lin Fangda's arm, and said in a low voice, "Thanks to the generous help of the Lord of Luo Mansion last night, should the junior brother go to visit the Lord of Luo Mansion first?" ”

Lin Fangda pondered for a moment, looked at the sky again, shook his head and said, "Virtuous brother doesn't need to be polite, the mansion master has always been not confined to such small sections. What's more, the lord of the mansion has already been sent by Lu Gongzi to leave at this moment, so we should go to the martial arts field as soon as possible to wait. ”

Luo Tianjin's prominent status must be regarded as a guest by Lu Tingxiang, and he will never mix with ordinary disciples, in fact, Liu Xunyi had already expected this section, just now he just wanted to try it, after all, it is a small matter for him to see the golden basin and wash his hands, and it is a big deal to get close to Luo Tianjin.

"It's the younger brother who is reckless, and everything is at the mercy of the eldest brother. Liu Xunyi was not persistent, and followed Lin Fangda and a group of Xianwangfu disciples through the courtyard, and together with people from all walks of life, they gathered towards the martial arts field of the seventh courtyard of the Lu Mansion.

There are 12 main courtyards before and after Jiangnan Lufu, and there are 12 separate courtyards on the left and right, a total of 36 courtyards. The pavilions and pavilions encountered along the way, the water pavilion garden is extended in all directions, and there are many patterns, if there is no Lin Fangda, Liu Xunyi must be lost.

And the seventh courtyard of the Lu Mansion is called "Chongwu", it is the largest courtyard in the house, due north is located in the Chongwu Hall of five bright and eight dark, outside the lobby is a martial arts field that can accommodate hundreds of people to practice, there are dozens of wings on the left and right of the martial arts field, and it is not an ordinary child who can live in these wings, they are all first-class masters of the Lu family.

The rules of the Lu Mansion are the outer courtyard before Chongwu and the inner courtyard after Chongwu. Therefore, from the first to the sixth courtyard, they are all outer courtyards, and they live in the children of foreign surnames and slaves, while the eighth to the twelfth courtyards are the inner courtyards, and they live in the direct relatives of the Lu family and the female relatives in the house. The inner courtyard after entering the eighth courtyard is not open to any outsiders, so the Chongwu courtyard of the seventh entrance is the greatest sincerity of the Lu family to receive foreign guests. As for the Seventh Martial Academy, it will only be open when such martial arts events are held.

Liu Xunyi and the others walked all the way, almost three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry along the way, and there were Lu family guards with swords everywhere, looking cautiously at the disciples of various sects and sects who came and went, and the defense was very strict. It is not difficult to see how much attention the Jiangnan Lufu attaches to this conference. Liu Xunyi became more and more frightened as he walked, and this kind of pomp was only afraid that it was not inferior to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Lin'an.

When Liu Xunyi followed everyone into the martial arts field, the martial arts field was already bustling with people, and the noisy and noisy sounds were endless, and the originally solemn atmosphere became lively and excited.

At this moment, there are six exhibition flags on the left and right sides of the martial arts field, and the embroidered ones on the left side of the flag are Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, Kongtong, Emei, Qingcheng The font number of the six major sects, and the right side of the banner is the name of the Xianwang Mansion, Jinjianwu and Jiangnan Lufu, Shuzhong Tangmen, Hexi Qin, Xiangxi Teng Clan. The twelve decent forces of the Central Plains Martial Arts are all gathered, which shows that the face of the Jiangnan Lufu is huge, or the charm of the "Shocking Wind and Rain Map" in the martial arts is great.

There are also a few small flags standing on the south side of the Chongwu Hall, these are mostly the second- and third-rate forces in the martial arts and the green forest gangs in the south of the Yangtze River, most of them are through the Jiangnan Lu Mansion, so they can get a seat. However, Rao is like this, and in the future, these people will be enough to blow this matter to the sky, you must know that being invited by the Lu Mansion to participate in such a grand event is a big face in itself, which is enough to prove that his status in the rivers and lakes is not bad.

At this moment, the most eye-catching thing is not only the surrounding exhibition of the swaggering flags in the wind, but also the shining golden basin placed on the stone platform in the center of the martial arts field, and there is already a little clear water in the basin, which is used to wash the hands of Mozen golden basin today. There is a table of eight immortals next to the golden basin, on which is a large longevity peach made of pure gold, and the longevity peach is surrounded by a pile of birthday gifts sent by various sects.

Lin Fangda led people to the banner of the Xianwang Mansion and waited, Liu Xunyi looked at the crowd with excitement in his eyes, there were as many as five or six hundred people in the martial arts field at this moment, and the disciples from various sects and sects were greeting each other, laughing and talking, most of the people who could be brought here were good hands in the sect, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that today's masters in the Lu Mansion are like clouds. For Liu Xunyi, who saw this kind of scene for the first time, he couldn't help but feel his blood boiling and excited.

Under each banner, there are three Taishi chairs, which are reserved for the three highest-ranking people in the sect to sit, and ordinary disciples are only left standing. It's just that all the chairs are empty at the moment, and obviously, there is no real identity in the martial arts.

Lin Fangda whispered and laughed at Liu Xunyi beside him: "Brother Xian, you are going to feast your eyes today." ”

"What do you say about it, big brother?"

"Have you heard of the twelve heroes of the Central Plains Martial Arts?" Lin Fang Dao, "They are the twelve heroes with the highest status in the Central Plains Martial Arts today. Whether it is martial arts, prestige or status, they are all big names who stand at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Central Plains. Today, almost half of the twelve heroes of the Central Plains martial arts came. How many people have never seen one in their lifetime, and you can see so many today, isn't it a feast for your eyes......?

Liu Xunyi nodded suddenly and said: "The twelve heroes of the Central Plains Martial Arts are the heads of the six major sects, the masters of the four major families, plus the Beixian King and the Golden Sword Dock Lord, the twelve of them together are enough to subvert the entire Central Plains Martial Arts. It's just that in addition to King Beixian and Lu Gongzi, I don't know how many of the other ten are here today?"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the golden gong in the northeast corner of the martial arts field was violently slammed, and the clear and loud gong sound echoed between heaven and earth, making the noisy scene quiet in an instant. Everyone in the field couldn't help but perk up, and then turned their eyes to the Chongwu Hall due north, but seeing the figures in the hall shaking, it seemed that someone was about to come out of it.

Lin Fangda raised his eyes to look at the clear sky, and then gave Liu Xunyi an excited look, and said, "The hour has come at three o'clock, and the show is about to begin." ”
