Chapter 40: The Alliance of Loyalty

On the outskirts of Zhenjiang City, two horses walked side by side. One of the people on the horse was a tall and fairy-like veteran, and the other was a young man with a handsome face and a cold and arrogant expression.

These two are Xi Yingzhen and Lan Yue. After Xi Yingzhen defeated the Yulin army of more than 1,000 people with peerless martial arts, the two picked two ownerless horses and drove away.

Both of them were silent along the way, obviously each with their own concerns. It was already summer time, and the green willows on both sides of the road were like smoke, and thousands of golden cicadas hid under the leaves, lying on the trunks of the trees, making eardrum-shaking chirps, as if they were collectively cheering and singing for the most brilliant season of their lives. From time to time, fish jump out of the water in rivers and lakes, and flocks of ducks and geese can be seen playing in the water and foraging for food, enjoying the beautiful time of the moment, completely ignoring the hatred and troubles of the world.

Coming to the junction of the two official roads, Xi Yingzhen grabbed the reins and said to Lan Yue: "I want to go back to Xiangcheng Lingyingguan to meditate for a few months, do you have a place to devote yourself? If there is nothing else, you can go with me, or you can take the opportunity to practice Jindan Dafa." ”

Lan Yue shook her head and said, "The Taoist has a good intention, first, I don't want to disturb your meditation, and second, I have an old friend of my eldest brother here, and I want to go and take refuge." ”

Xi Ying didn't really ask where Lan Yue went, but said indifferently: "That's very good." If you have any trouble, go to the Spirit and look for me. He also carefully told Lan Yue how to cultivate Jindan Dafa, and seeing that he was already familiar with it, he left with confidence.

Lan Yue looked at Xi Yingzhen's back as he gradually moved away, stood for a long time, and rode his horse in the direction of Jiangyin.

Because the poison on his body has been dissolved by Jindan, it is not an imminent matter to go to Jiangyin to find Xu Moran again, Lan Yue simply relaxed, did not hurry, walked slowly with a more relaxed attitude, and found a place to practice Jindan Dafa when he encountered beautiful mountains and rivers and quiet and no one.

There were not many pedestrians along the way, but it was quiet. After two days, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road, these people were all wearing swords and hanging knives, carrying guns and sticks, obviously they were all people in the martial arts, some were in groups of three or five, walking together, and some were walking silently alone like the blue moon, all going in one direction. Blue Moon was a little wary at first, worried that it would not be good for her, but then she put her mind at ease, and these people ignored him and directly ignored his existence. Although Blue Moon was relieved, her curiosity was lifted again.

At this time, two people came from a distance, a man and a woman, and they were about twenty years old, Lan Yue saw that these two people had kind faces, not as hateful as other people, so she stepped forward to talk and ask.

The two turned out to be two sisters and brothers, sister Ye Peiwen and younger brother Ye Xiuwu, and there was a dart game at home. When the two siblings saw that Lan Yue was noble and extraordinary, they talked to him very happily. Originally, there is a big mountain villa not far in front, called "Danyang Villa", the owner of the village Tie Feng is the master of the eagle claw gate in the south of the Yangtze River, not only strong martial arts, but also many disciples, coupled with strong financial resources, so the network is excellent. In the next few days, the annual "Loyalty Alliance" conference will be held here.

Although Lan Yue is not a person in the martial arts, but a few years ago I also heard the eldest brother Lan Yu talk about the "Loyalty Alliance", as early as the early years of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty had just set the world, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about "chivalry with martial arts", and wanted to open a knife on the martial arts to prevent future troubles. But Liu Ji advised: In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is not appropriate to make a big internal move, it is better to be led by the Shenjian Gate to form a controllable group of the Wulin Baidao Sect, called Wulin Self-care, in fact, everything in this organization is controlled in the hands of the official, and the government does not have to bear any costs, and at the same time can use this Baidao Alliance to suppress the power of the underworld, in one fell swoop, so the "Loyalty Alliance" came into being, Shenjianmen, Shaolin, Wudang as the earliest initiative sect, and later Emei, Qingcheng, Kongtong, Eagle Claw Sect and the Beggar Gang, After more than 20 years of operation, the "Loyalty Alliance" and has hundreds of sects, gangs, dart bureaus, martial arts halls, the number of people has exceeded 100,000, and there are branches throughout the country.

The annual alliance conference will not only issue an alliance announcement, announcing the alliance's rewards and punishments for a year, and even matters that cannot be resolved within a single sect can also be resolved by the alliance conference. Therefore, the alliance conference is very important to the martial arts white road people, and the annual conference will be lively, and even more people come to the conference to find business opportunities, and there are even people who come to the conference on a blind date. All in all, the "Loyalty Alliance Conference" has turned into a grand event of Baidao martial arts, which is something that the old man Liu Ji, who put forward the original idea, never expected.

At this moment, there are more and more martial arts people on the road, and the wide official road has become crowded. After Lan Yue learned about the situation, she lost interest, and when she came to the fork in the road, she was about to leave everyone and go to the direction of Jiangyin alone, but at this time, a team of people rushed over from the official road behind, and Lan Yue turned her head to see that it was Jiang Yulin who was chasing after him with a team of brocade guards, and was busy mixing into the crowd, and at the same time secretly gathered his strength, ready to let go.

Unexpectedly, when the team walked by Lan Yue's side, they didn't look at him half-eyed, and went straight to the direction of Jiangyin. Of course, Lan Yue would not suffer the immediate loss, so she kept mixing in the martial arts crowd and entered the "Danyang Villa" with the crowd.

"Danyang Villa" is located between Danyang City and the Yangtze River, covering an area of hundreds of acres, by the mountains and rivers, magnificent, even the blue moon who is accustomed to seeing the world also secretly admires this villa, compared to the noble majesty of the palace in the Beijing Division, the villa has its own unique style, a kind of wilderness, wild, free and easy taste of the rivers and lakes, thousands of people gather in it but do not make people feel crowded and restrained.

In the middle of the huge square, a platform of ten zhang square and about one zhang high was erected, and thousands of tables and chairs were densely arranged from the platform to the surrounding sides, and the names of various sects and gangs were written on them, in order to prevent chaos, hundreds of disciples of the Eagle Claw Sect were arranging visitors according to the roster prepared in advance. Near the center of the platform are Shenjian Gate, Shaolin, Wudang and the beggar gang such as the gate, and then there are the Cao Gang, the Salt Gang, and other gang organizations, and the outermost periphery is some small martial arts halls and dart bureaus.

When it was Lan Yue's turn, Lan Yue didn't know much about martial arts matters, so he couldn't make up the sect to deal with it, and he was afraid that he would suddenly walk away and attract attention, and when he was feeling embarrassed, a crisp voice suddenly said to him: "Why are you here, I've been looking for you for a long time, why don't you come back and sit down quickly!"
