The eighteenth day of the first month, early in the morning.

Luo Hongxuan was ordered by Luo Tianjin to go to the lower three gates in person and summoned Di Mo, Liu Xunyi, Ling Qing and Chen Yong to the middle hall to discuss matters.

In the middle hall, in addition to Luo Tianjin and his wife, Xie Xuan, Deng Changchuan, Luo Ningyu, Lin Fangda and others have been seated on both sides, when Luo Hongxuan and Liu Xunyi hurriedly came, Murong Bai was returning to Luo Tianjin from the trip to Shaolin a few days ago.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi and the others naturally didn't dare to say anything to disturb, so they could only bow to Luo Tianjin silently. Under Xie Xuan's eyes, he quickly sat down softly.

"Abbot Xuanming once received a letter from Qin Ming, to the effect that since the Pan family can find the Xian Wangfu for support, the Qin family will also invite Jin Jianwu to go to Shaolin in early March to strengthen the momentum. Murong Bai continued in an orderly manner, "The abbot of Xuanming is old and respectful, and he thinks that Qin Ming's request is not unfair, so he agreed to Qin Ming's request. ”

Hearing this, Deng Changchuan frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically: "That is to say, on the first day of the third month, the people of Jinjianwu will also appear in Shaolin Temple?"

"Yes. Murong Bai nodded and said, "In the final analysis, the competition for the 'Xuanshui Scroll' is just a personal grudge between the Qin and Pan families, and the Shaolin faction does not want to alarm the martial arts heroes, so this competition will not be made public." In addition to the Pan and Qin families and Shaolin, only us and Jin Jianwu are left, who are qualified to send people to watch the battle. But the abbot of Xuanming said first, whether it is the Shaolin faction, or the Xianwang Mansion and Jinjianwu, this trip can only watch the battle from the sidelines, and must not interfere in the dispute between Pan and Qin. ”

"Huh...... Abbot Xuanming didn't want to wade into this troubled water, if it weren't for my repeated begging, Shaolin probably wouldn't have been involved in this matter. Luo Tianjin said with a smile, "Qin Ming was able to agree to compete in Shaolin back then, precisely because he valued Xuanming's moderation and impartiality. ”

"But no matter what, the Xuanshui Scroll must not fall into the hands of the Qin family. Xie Xuan said in a deep voice, "The Qin family is enough to rank among the four great families of martial arts with only half a scroll of swords, if Qin Ming is allowed to get the entire "Returning to the Sea Sword Law", then who else in the rivers and lakes can contain the Qin family? We have always been at odds with the four great families, if the Qin family is allowed to gain power, the Xianwang Mansion will suffer a great disaster." ”

Lin Fang's mouth pursed, and he said suspiciously: "Is the 'Xuanshui Scroll' really so powerful? We went to the Pan family in Yingchuan before, and found that the Pan family was weak and weak, and it was not as miraculous as the rumors in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Pan Baye has been in retirement for decades, and the descendants of the Pan family have been in business for many years, they are no longer people in the rivers and lakes, even if there is half a peerless sword technique at home?" Xie Xuan shook his head and said, "Pan Baye has long given up martial arts and practice, so the descendants of the Pan family have no one to teach, even if they are talented, it is impossible to be self-taught." In today's Pan family, Xuanshui has long existed in name only, and has completely become an obsession of Pan Baye. Other than that, there is no other use. ”

"In this way...... Luo Hongxuan hesitated, "Even if the Pan family can keep the Xuanshui Scroll this time, I'm afraid it won't last long." If the Qin family is willing to let go, how can other people in the rivers and lakes be willing? If the Pan family does not improve themselves, Xuanshui will be lost!"

"Not bad. Liu Xunyi said, "So Pan Baye's intention is that when his destiny is not good, he is willing to entrust the 'Xuanshui Scroll' to the hands of the mansion master." ”

When he said this, Liu Xunyi stared at Luo Tianjin with deep meaning. Because as early as when he was in Yingchuan, he had secretly doubted whether Luo Tianjin's friendship with Pan Chuba had another purpose? But Luo Tianjin was calm and unfazed at the moment, as if what Liu Xunyi said just now had nothing to do with him.

"Okay!" Deng Changchuan laughed and said, "If the Xuanshui Scroll is in our hands, we will not dare to rob it if we borrow Qin Ming's ten guts." What's more, if we can really get half of the peerless sword spectrum, then our strength will definitely go further. ”

"It's easy to say, but it's dangerous. Xie Xuan slowly shook his head rather worriedly and said, "The Xuanshui Roll is like a hot potato, whoever throws it in his hand will become the number one enemy of the Hexi Qin Clan." Pan Baye plans to entrust it to the mansion master at the end of the road, but he is afraid that it will not only bring us half a scroll of knife scores, but also a lot of trouble. The pros and cons still need to be carefully weighed. ”

Xie Xuan's words made everyone fall into contemplation again, and no one had an idea for a while.

"How much trouble will the Dark Water Roll cause us...... I'm afraid it's a later story. Di Mo, who didn't say a word, suddenly spoke, "Right now, the Pan family and the Qin family are about to compete, in my opinion, the Pan family has no chance of winning at all." Abbot Xuanming said first, except for the Pan and Qin families, no one else is allowed to interfere without authorization. On the first day of the first month of March, if the Pan family loses in the competition, then according to the ten-year covenant, the 'Xuanshui Volume' will immediately return to the Qin family. Even if the Pan family wants to resist death and refuses to admit it, is it possible that our Xianwang Mansion will follow them to play tricks? Or do you want to snatch it from the hands of the Qin family? Not to mention whether we can successfully snatch back the Xuanshui Scroll from the hands of the Qin family and Jin Jianwu, just say that if this matter is publicized, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Xianwang Mansion to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future, and the martial arts heroes will also despise us for being untrustworthy and forcibly taking it. The Pan family has long since gone into hiding, they don't care about their reputation, don't we care either?"

Di Mo was right. Ling Xiaoxiao echoed, "The root of it is still in this competition on the first day of March. If Pan Jiasheng wins, everything is naturally easy to say. But if the Pan family is defeated by the Qin family, what should we do? Now Pan Wu, the number one master of the Pan family, has died unexpectedly, and Pan Chun has fled with his mother without a trace, and now only his son-in-law He Hu remains. Although there are some means, compared to the Qin family's masters, they are ...... after all There is a weak heart, and it is a drop in the bucket. Originally, Ling Xiaoxiao wanted to say "vulnerable", but because of Luo Tianjin's friendship with Pan Chuba, she temporarily changed her words, which could be regarded as leaving the last bit of face for the unlucky Pan family.

"I'm angry when I mention it. Lin Fang snorted angrily, "The East Lake Gang is too much of a bully, and I can't wait to ride on Pan Baye's neck to, but Pan Baye actually ...... I still have to swallow my anger, even I, an outsider, can't stand it, if it weren't for Xun Yi and Ning Yu to stop me, I would have killed the East Lake Gang a long time ago, and found that bullshit Li Laohu to settle accounts. ”

"This is not called swallowing anger, this is called focusing on the overall situation. Luo Tianjin smiled lightly. After that, he silently looked around the hall and said slowly: "What Mrs. Shicai said is good, the martial arts competition on the first day of March is the most important thing. If the Pan family wins, they will be helped. If you lose, you will be unjust. No one in the world can go against the sky, and the Xianwang Mansion must not do anything that violates morality. Therefore, the most important thing I summoned you to agree on is how to help the Pan family defeat the Qin family. ”

"This ......," Xie Xuan smiled bitterly, "Unless we send a master to fight for the Pan family, but just now the mansion master said that we must not do anything that violates morality." After all, this is the personal grudge of the Pan and Qin families, and we have the liberty to intervene...... I'm afraid it's not right, right?"

"Xianwangfu is an outsider, so naturally he can't meddle in other people's personal grievances. Luo Tianjin nodded.

"That'...... The Pan family will definitely lose. Di Mo hesitated again and again, and couldn't help but speak, "Pan Baye once cut off his tendons, and now that he is old, he naturally can't fight. And the other descendants of the Pan family...... They are all weak people who are powerless, and now they only rely on one He Hu...... Please forgive me for saying bluntly, although I don't know who the Qin family will send to fight, He Hu has no chance of winning. ”

"It's a good look. Luo Tianjin approvingly, "This is indeed the case. ”

As soon as these words came out, without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Luo Tianjin slowly took out a letter from his arms, which was the secret letter that Pan Chuba wrote to him.

Luo Tianjin held the letter and said with a light smile: "Pan Baye had expected this, so he asked me for help in the letter, and came up with a way for me in advance that did not violate morality and could send someone to help the Pan family. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly became interested. When Luo Tianjin saw this letter for the first time, he didn't disclose the content of the letter, but after reading it in a hurry, he put it away. Therefore, even Ling Xiaoxiao didn't know the secret, how could everyone not be curious?

Lin Fangda couldn't wait to ask, "Dare to ask the mansion master, what is written in Pan Baye's letter?"

"Pan Baye pleaded with me in the letter for two things. Luo Tianjin said faintly, "First, he wants me to send someone to Yingchuan to clean up the East Lake Gang for him, so as to avenge the revenge of killing his son and taking money......

"It should have been like this a long time ago! The East Lake Gang is too ...... to deceive people," Lin Fangda had a straightforward temperament, and immediately applauded the case. But before he could finish speaking, Xie Xuan's angry gaze had already turned straight to him, and he hurriedly closed his mouth in fright, and his excited shouts stopped abruptly.

"Second. Luo Tianjin didn't pay attention to Lin Fangda's rudeness, and said to himself, "Pan Baye has a granddaughter, named Pan Yuyin, who is now in Fanghua, and when she is in the boudoir, Pan Baye wants me to choose a good son-in-law for him in the Xianwang Mansion and go to Yingchuan to get married as soon as possible." This person must be outstanding in martial arts and chivalrous, and it is better to be on the first day of the first month of March, in the name of the grandson-in-law of the Pan family, it is logical to represent the Pan family to face the Qin family. ”

"Hiss!" As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

Especially Liu Xunyi, Lin Fangda, and Luo Ningyu, they have all seen Pan Yuyin with their own eyes, and they know that this woman is both talented and beautiful, virtuous and docile, and she is a rare fair lady. But she never expected that Pan Chuba would sacrifice her lifelong happiness for this battle.

"Dare to ask the lord of the mansion......" Ling Qinghu asked suspiciously, "I don't know if it's a real marriage or a fake marriage?"

"The gift of marriage is naturally true, otherwise how can you hide it from the Qin family?" Luo Tianjin said with a smile, "But in fact, it is in name only, just to spend time with the Pan family." After the competition, everything will return to dust and dust, and there will be no more relations with each other. As for this, Luo Tianjin suddenly showed a playful look on her face, and said with a smile, "But Miss Pan is also a rare beauty, if Lang is affectionate and the concubine is intended, it doesn't hurt to do the fake show." Haha......"

"If it is a concubine, you love me, it is a good thing. Luo Ningyu muttered to herself, "But if it's just a scene, it's nothing to a man after this incident, but it's okay to Miss Pan...... After all, she is a yellow flower girl, and she is perfect, and after this trouble, it will definitely damage her reputation, how will she meet people in the future? How to remarry?"

"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are informal. Lin Fangda, on the contrary, waved his hand disapprenously and smiled, "The so-called clear ones are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." Getting married is just pretending, and afterwards Miss Pan is still a yellow flower girl, and she is still perfect. Today is just a temporary name, but it can help the Pan family survive the bad luck, this deal, no matter how it is calculated, it is worth it!"

"It's worth a fart!" Luo Ningyu didn't know why, her face turned pale with anger, her apricot eyes were round, and even her lips trembled slightly, "You are not a woman, how can you understand how important a reputation is to a woman?" Lin Fangda, I think you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you don't have to worry about other people's jokes, and you even say some vulgar and rude bastard words!"

Luo Ningyu suddenly became angry, which caught Lin Fangda off guard, he looked at Luo Ningyu with aggrieved eyes, and for a while he explained that it was not, and it was not if he didn't explain, so he was embarrassed.

"That's enough!" Ling Xiaoxiao said in a deep voice, "Since it is Pan Baye's intention, it is the Pan family's own business, how can you be allowed to fight here and there?" After that, she turned her gaze to Luo Tianjin, and asked softly, "Brother Jin, can Pan Baye name him in the letter?"

Luo Tianjin said with a smile: "There is no name in the letter, but Pan Baye already has a favorite candidate. ”

"Who is it?"

"Who sent this letter?"

"Looking for clothes?" Lin Fangda replied subconsciously.

"That's it. Luo Tianjin smiled lightly, "The three of them went to Yingchuan, one was a young lady and the other was the master, but Pan Baye chose Liu Xunyi, who had the most humble status, to send the letter on his behalf, and his intention was ...... Isn't it obvious?"

......
