Chapter 438: The Eve of the Conference (2)
Ren Wuya's move was undoubtedly to bet Liu Xunyi as a hostage, so as to stabilize Luo Tianjin's alliance with himself.
In fact, although Liu Xunyi is important to Luo Tianjin, it is far less indispensable than Ren Wuya imagined.
In contrast, Luo Tianjin is more concerned about her daughter's reputation and reputation. After all, Luo Ningyu will be the master of the Xianwang Mansion in the future, so there must be no dirt on her body.
Once Luo Tianjin announced the marriage of Liu Xunyi and Luo Ningyu in public, Liu Xunyi was the son-in-law of the Xian Wangfu. At this time, he was given to Ren Wuya as a righteous grandson, which undoubtedly tied the relationship between the two families together.
To this day, Ren Wuya and the Jade Dragon Palace are still notorious in the rivers and lakes, and the Xianwang Mansion and the pagan religion have formed a "good relationship between Qin and Jin", and the consequences of this matter are far worse than the "close contacts" between the two families.
In other words, Ren Wuya deliberately dragged Luo Tianjin into the water, making him a kind of person with himself.
In a moment, he had clearly considered the pros and cons of this matter, and even more clearly thought about the success or failure of the future of the Xian Wangfu.
Because of this, he should be more cautious and thoughtful.
After all, after more than 20 years of ups and downs, it is extremely difficult for Xianwangfu to get all the way to today. If there is a slight difference, it will be a thousand-year-old Tao, and the gains will outweigh the losses?
"Palace Master Ren wants Luo to use the reputation of the little girl to guarantee his sincerity to Your Excellency?" Luo Tianjin's tone was neither yin nor yang, and he couldn't hear joy or anger, "This move is inevitably a bit sideways, right?"
"What's the matter? Could it be that the lord of Luofu has no intention of recruiting Liu Xunyi as his son-in-law?"
"Is marriage a big thing a child's play?"
"It is precisely because it is not child's play that the old man proposed this proposal. Ren Wuya said frankly, "Could it be in the heart of Lord Luofu...... Is it child's play for you and me to form an alliance?"
"Luo has no such intention!"
"If it weren't for that, could it be that the Luo Mansion Lord wanted to keep the relationship between you and me a secret?" Ren Wuya said unhappily, "Since the Luo Mansion Lord chose to protect himself and mind the old and decrepit origins in a pagan religion, why would he join forces with me?"
"This ......"
"If there is no conspiracy, why doesn't the Lord of Luo Mansion dare to facilitate this?"
Facing Ren Wuya's aggressive questioning, Luo Tianjin couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a long time, he reluctantly spoke: "It's not a secret, it's an eventful time now, and I'm worried that the proposal of the palace master Ren will not only not promote the good things of you and me, but will backfire, putting you and me in a crisis." ”
"It is rumored that the Lord of Luofu is a great hero who stands up to the sky, why is he looking ahead and backward today, and only making promises?" Ren Wuya sneered, "You and I join forces, who in the rivers and lakes can compete?"
Luo Tianjin's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "There is a saying that 'two fists are hard to beat four hands, and a good tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves', in case ......"
"According to the rules of this martial arts conference, tomorrow morning, anyone who intends to run for the leader of the martial arts alliance will swear a blood oath in public. Ren Wuya interrupted slowly, "In other words, how many people covet the position of alliance leader in this martial arts conference will be known early tomorrow morning." The lord of Luofu can wait for the situation to become clear, and then make the relationship between you and me public. In this way, you can avoid what you call a 'crisis'. ”
Luo Tianjin nodded undeniably and said: "Having said that, don't forget that each person who competes for the master can choose up to five masters to help him. ”
"The six heads and the four masters have already announced that they will not make a move at the martial arts conference, so what are they afraid of?"
"Although these heads and heads of the family will not make a move, they are like clouds of masters, and they must not be underestimated. ”
"The Lord of Luofu has the help of the old decay, which is the greatest chance of winning. It's not that the old man is boasting, just ask the various sects of the martial arts today, in addition to the head of the family and the head of the family, who else can compete with the old man?" Ren Wuya said proudly, "The seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion are all masters among the masters. The old man's trip also brought Dong Xiaoer and Hu Yanba, two banner owners, who are also very skilled. In addition to the old decay, wouldn't it be easy for the Lord of Luo Mansion to pick out four more people from among these people?"
"This ......"
"According to the current situation, the biggest opponent of the Lord of Luofu is undoubtedly Jin Fuyu. Ren Wuya said again, "Although the four great families have a lot to do with him, the four masters don't make a move, and the masters under his command are at most equal to the seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion." Thinking about it carefully, Jin Fuyu doesn't have a master next to him who can compete with the old decay, isn't this the best chance of the Luo Mansion Lord?"
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed: "The palace master Ren is reasonable, but he only knows one thing, not the other. ”
"Let it be taught. ”
"Luo just said, 'A good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves'. Among them, the 'pack of wolves' does not refer to Jin Fuyu and his supporters, but ......"
"Who?"
"Other heroes who are interested in competing for the leader of the martial arts alliance. Luo Tianjin said bluntly, "The palace master only weighs the strengths and weaknesses of Jin Fuyu and me, but ignores the others. For example, Yu Wenxiu, the 'Wulin Hou' of the Great Song Dynasty, and Yun Chasing the Moon, the Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain, who secretly colluded with the Mongolian court, are not to be underestimated. ”
"Yuwen Xiu and Yun Chaiyue are both from pagan religions, how can they embarrass you because of old age?"
"Yes!" Luo Tianjin said firmly, "There is a way that 'the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'." You and I are undoubtedly the strongest combination among these people, Jin Fuyu is slightly inferior, Yuwen Xiu and Yun Chaiyue are about the same strength. Therefore, once our relationship is made public, others will inevitably see us as the number one enemy and will most likely join forces against us. Won't we both be in danger?"
"The rules of the competition will only be revealed tomorrow, how can the Lord of Luofu conclude that they can join forces?"
"Only by anticipating the enemy can we prevent problems before they happen. If you don't prepare for the worst, I'm afraid that when things come, you and I will be caught off guard. ”
"This ......"
Luo Tianjin's words were not unreasonable, and Ren Wuya gradually fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Ren Wuya was silent for a long time, Luo Tianjin raised his eyebrows slightly, and cautiously said, "I don't know what the palace master Ren thinks?"
"Ahem!"
Ren Wuya coughed lightly twice and muttered: "Lord Luofu is reasonable, but the old man has always disliked to do things that he is not sure of. The lord of Luofu wants to keep our relationship secret, and he wants the old man to help him, which is ...... for the old man It is inevitable that some strong people will find it difficult. ”
"This ......"
Luo Tianjin hesitated, calculated repeatedly, and couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Ren Wuya didn't eat oil and salt, and didn't eat soft and hard.
After hesitating for a long time, Luo Tianjin simply turned his heart sideways and resolutely spoke: "Since the palace master Ren insists on doing so, Luo has a plan, and he hopes that the palace master will consider it." ”
"I want to hear and see. ”
"The palace master Ren will also stand up tomorrow and compete for the position of the alliance leader!"
"What?" Ren Wuya was secretly taken aback, and said suspiciously, "The Lord of the Luo Mansion wants the old man to compete for the Martial Arts Alliance Master......?" Did you hear that right?"
"That's good!" Luo Tianjin said with a straight face, "Yuwen Xiu and Yun Chasing the Moon are okay, and the palace master Ren also has this qualification." ”
Ren Wuya asked with a smile, "Could it be ...... You're not worried?"
"What are you worried about?" Luo Tianjin smiled, "I and the palace master Ren are already a family, broken bones and tendons, what is there to worry about?"
"Go on!"
"The palace master not only has to fight, but also has to mobilize the masters under his command to strive for the top. ”
Ren Wuya finally understood Luo Tianjin's voice, and said thoughtfully: "The lord of the Luo Mansion wants to let the old decay escort you, eliminate disasters and prevent difficulties for you, and escort you all the way to the position of the alliance leader?"
"Not bad!" Luo Tianjin generously admitted, not shy away from his selfishness.
Hearing this, Ren Wuya was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "What is the benefit of doing this to the old decay?"
"The good thing is that I agreed to the request of the palace master Ren and made the relationship between you and me public. Luo Tianjin said, "However, there is still a premise. ”
"What premise?"
"We have to wait until Yuwen Xiu and Yun Chasing Yue, one of the two is eliminated, and our relationship can be revealed to the world. Luo Tianjin said, "At that time, Luo will also announce the marriage of Liu Xunyi and Yu'er." At the same time, the palace master can accept Liu Xunyi as his righteous grandson in public and recruit him to the command of the Jade Dragon Palace. How?"
"Is the Lord of Luofu really willing?"
"A gentleman has the beauty of an adult. Luo Tianjin smiled, "What's more, after their wedding, King Xian's Mansion and Jade Dragon Palace will be a family, so why should they divide each other?"
"Very good!" Ren Wuya said with satisfaction, "Since the Lord of the Luo Mansion has this sincerity, the old man will help you to fight a bloody path in front of you and promote you to become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." ”
"A gentleman's word!"
"Whip the horse!"
The big event was set, and the gloomy clouds that lingered in Luo Tianjin's heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Luo Tianjin got up to say goodbye, and left the garden with Xie Xuan.
Seeing Luo Tianjin's sad face and the spring breeze on his face, Xie Xuan couldn't help but be curious, and said tentatively: "Could it be that Ren Wuya has already agreed to be the pioneer of the mansion master?"
"A promise is a promise, but Ren Wuya is cunning and cunning, and he also has his own wishful thinking, and it is not easy to coax him to eliminate the disaster for me. ”
"What conditions does he have?"
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin stopped abruptly, turned to look at Xie Xuan, who was full of doubts, and couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "He wants to take Liu Xunyi as a hostage, and wants me to announce the marriage of Liu Xunyi and Yu'er in public." ”
"This ......" Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "Ren Wuya wants to use the reputation of the young lady to force the mansion master to fulfill his promise to him." Miss is the young master of the Xianwang Mansion, and Liu Xunyi is Miss's sweetheart. Ignorance...... Can the Mansion Master agree?"
"People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, so I can't help but agree. Luo Tianjin said, "Right now, we have lost the trust of the righteous path of martial arts, and we can no longer lose the strong reinforcement of Ren Wuya." ”
"But ......"
"Who?"
Before Xie Xuan could speak, Luo Tianjin's eyes changed suddenly, and his body disappeared in place in an instant.
Almost at the same time, around the corner of another annex, there was a sudden crisp sound of swords colliding.
Xie Xuan came immediately, but saw that under the moonlight, three figures were separated from each other, standing quietly.
On the left is Luo Tianjin, motionless, shaped like a wood carved clay sculpture. On the right are a man and a woman with a grim expression and complicated eyes.
The man who pointed directly at Luo Tianjin with a sword was a ruthless swordsman, Tang Afu.
At this moment, the slender woman standing behind Tang Afu, covering her face with a white veil, is none other than Luo Tianjin's heartfelt and heartless valley master, Xiao Zhirou.
