The next morning, Qin Ming arrived in Luoyang City.

Along with him, in addition to the disciples such as the "Three Masters of the Qin Family", there was also a middle-aged man who was wide and fat, full of luxury.

This person's name is Duan Tianhong, who is the owner of Duanjiabao in Hexi, who specializes in raising military horses for the Mongols, so he is famous in the Hexi area.

In the same Hexi, the Qin family and the Duan family have always had well water that does not interfere with river water. Although Qin Ming and Duan Tianhong do not have a deep friendship, they will also exchange courtesies during the New Year's holidays, which can be regarded as acquaintances, and they have affection for each other.

Since Duan Tianhong and Luo Tianjin are old friends, they were invited by Qin Ming to come to Luoyang City to accompany them.

Qin Ming's purpose in inviting Duan Tianhong to accompany him was actually very simple.

First, the relationship between Luo Tianjin and Qin Ming is very delicate, like enemies but not enemies, like friends but not friends. Therefore, if there is no intermediary to reconcile it, I am afraid that both parties will not know where to start when they meet.

The two, Qin Ming is a stranger in a foreign land, Luoyang City is Luo Tianjin's territory after all, in case he doesn't speculate, a stalemate will be formed, lest it be unfavorable to himself. Therefore, Duan Tianhong acted as the peacemaker to ease the contradictions between the two families, so as not to make the matter irreparable.

Because of this, even if Duan Tianhong was unwilling to wade into this troubled water, he couldn't resist Qin Ming's repeated invitations, so he had to walk with him.

After receiving the news, Luo Tianjin led Xie Xuan, Yan Bugui and others to greet each other outside the mansion, full of pomp and sincerity.

At three poles in the sun, the Qin family's horse team slowly marched to the front of King Xian's mansion.

"The Lord of the Qin Mansion is here, and the Mansion is shining!"

Luo Tianjin's face was full of spring breeze, calm and relaxed, and he bowed his hand to Qin Ming, who was climbing the stairs.

Hearing this, Qin Ming subconsciously quickened his pace, and at the same time gave his hand and said: "With the leader of the Laoluo League personally greeting him, Qin is ashamed!"

After saying that, he looked around at the ceremonial music gongs and drums outside the gate of the mansion, and said humbly: "Just Qin, how dare the leader of the Laoluo League treat him so politely?"

"Huh!" Luo Tianjin pretended to be displeased, "The Lord of the Qin Mansion is the first time to be a guest of the Xianwang Mansion, how can Luo not fulfill the friendship of the landlord? If he neglects the friends of the Qin family, even if the Lord of the Qin Mansion does not mind, presumably the heroes of the world will not agree." ”

As for this, Luo Tianjin smiled at Duan Tianhong on the side and asked, "Brother Duan, did you say that?"

When they met, they didn't have to greet each other, and they directly made jokes, which shows that the relationship between Luo Tianjin and Duan Tianhong is extraordinary.

"What Brother Luo said is extremely true!" Duan Tianhong took the opportunity to answer and laughed loudly.

"Lord Luo Meng, Lord Duan Fort, the two of you are too elevated to someone Qin. ”

"Prepare a little wine, hurry up and go to the house to rest!"

After saying that, Luo Tianjin enthusiastically grabbed Qin Ming's arm, held hands with him, and walked towards the mansion like a brother.

In the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, they must think that Luo Tianjin and Qin Ming are two best friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

At this time, four tables of wine and food have been placed in the middle hall, including the liver and phoenix pith, the mountain skin and water, the elar and jade liquid, and the Jiajiao wine.

There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there are all kinds of jade cups. Looking at its color, smelling its fragrance, and tasting its taste, you can't help but have a great appetite and salivate.

As far as the eye can see, every dish is extremely hard, and every pot of wine is worth a lot.

Qin Ming can also be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but even so, he was still deeply moved by the luxury in front of him, and secretly sighed in his heart: "It is said that the Xianwang Mansion burns incense and cooks gold." When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. ”

During the greetings, everyone sat down separately.

On the main table, in addition to Luo Tianjin, Duan Tianhong, and Qin Ming, the Qin family has Qin Da, Qin Er, and Qin San, and the Xianwang Mansion has Xie Xuan, Liu Xunyi, and Qin Ku as companions.

According to the rules, Liu Xunyi and Qin Kuben were not qualified to sit at the table. But Luo Tianjin said it first, and wanted to hand over Qin Ming to Liu and Qin to deal with, so he summoned them to the main table for introduction.

"I was in a hurry in Huashan that day, and I congratulated the leader of the Luo League for winning the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. Qin Ming raised his glass and said loudly, "Today, Qin Mou borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and first saluted the leader of the Luo League with a glass to show congratulations!"

"Okay!" Luo Tianjin waited for the opportunity to say, "Thanks to the love of the Lord of the Qin Mansion, Luo also toasted a glass, I hope that you and I will abandon the past suspicions and rebuild the alliance!"

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the middle hall gradually became lively.

"This banquet is my family's mansion master's special trip to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Qin mansion lord and the Duan Bao lord, the two of them must drink happily, and they don't have to be stubborn. Xie Xuan said respectfully, "Come on, come on, Xie will give you another glass." ”

"Thank you!" Qin Ming drank it all, then turned his complicated gaze to Qin Ku, who was immersed in eating, and turned to Luo Tianjin, "My nephew was born stubborn, and now that he has entered the Xian Wang's Mansion, he must have caused a lot of trouble to the Lord of the Luo League." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ku's movements suddenly froze, and the meat and vegetables that had been chewed were spit back into the plate by him. Slowly raised his head, staring at Qin Ming, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a gloomy face, and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Liu Xunyi held down his arm first, signaling him to be calm and restrained.

"My eldest brother's lack of discipline has made Qin Ku rebellious since childhood. Qin Ming spoke again, "If not, he wouldn't run away from home and do stupid things like betraying his ancestors and killing his elders." ”

None of the people present are stupid, anyone can hear Qin Ming's off-string sound clearly.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Qin Ku, who couldn't bear it, put the wine glass on the table heavily, and the noisy central hall became silent, and the atmosphere gradually became weird.

"Hehe......"

Luo Tianjin smiled indifferently and said casually: "Qin Ku is a rare talent, young, strong in martial arts, and ...... Very loyal. On the same day, he faced Qin Tianjiu in Huashan, which was also forced by the situation. Here, I apologize to the Lord of the Qin Mansion on his behalf. ”

"Lord Luo doesn't have to care. In fact, Qin came today not to investigate the matter of Huashan, but to ask the ...... of the 'Xuanshui Volume'."

"Poof!"

Before Qin Ming finished speaking, Luo Tianjin's face suddenly stiffened, and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Qin Ming couldn't help but be stunned, and said in astonishment: "Lord Luomeng, you are ......"

Facing Qin Ming's surprise, Luo Tianjin brushed his sleeves to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, and laughed at himself: "In the battle of Huashan, Luo's injury has not healed, and when I see you today, I will inevitably be excited, drink a few more cups, but unexpectedly, the old injury will recur, and I will ...... Ahem...... It made the Lord of the Qin Mansion laugh. ”

At this point, Luo Tianjin began to cough violently, and Xie Xuan hurriedly handed over the handkerchief.

After coughing a few times, a touch of red appeared on the snow-white handkerchief.

"Lord, your wounded ......"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Xianwang Mansion was shocked, their faces were full of worry, and they shouted to Luo Tianjin, and the middle hall was suddenly in chaos.

The sudden change completely interrupted Qin Ming's long-brewing rhetoric. He sat at the table in a daze, looking at the people who were in a hurry, and he couldn't enter or retreat for a while, so embarrassed.

"Help the lord of the mansion to go down and rest, and then find the doctor. ”

Xie Xuan gave an order, and everyone hurriedly agreed, and at the same time wanted to help Luo Tianjin up.

"Wait!"

Luo Tianjin's weak voice sounded quietly, under Qin Ming's stunned gaze, he slowly pushed everyone away, a smile forced out of his pale face, and said bitterly: "Forgive the Lord of the Qin Mansion, Luo's internal injuries are sudden, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accompany ......"

"Where? Lord Luomeng's body is important. ”

"I'm ashamed. Luo Tianjin said ashamedly, "The Lord of the Qin Mansion finally came to Luoyang City, Luo wanted to open up with you and talk freely, but unexpectedly, ......" Before the words were finished, there was another violent cough.

"It's long coming, why should Brother Luo be in a hurry?" Duan Tianhong was worried, and hurriedly persuaded, "Take care of your body first, and discuss other things another day." ”

"That's good!" Seeing that Luo Tianjin's eyes were confused and crumbling, even if Qin Ming was dissatisfied, it was inconvenient to say much at this moment, so he could only reluctantly echo, "The body is important, you can't delay, please go down and rest." ”

"That...... Looking for clothes...... Luo Tianjin held on to the last trace of spirit, his eyes searched back and forth in the crowd, and finally landed on Liu Xunyi, and admonished, "Greet the Lord of the Qin Mansion for me, if there is any neglect, I will not spare ......"

"Obey!" Liu Xunyi understood, and immediately surrendered his order.

"So...... cough cough ......" As he spoke, Luo Tianjin coughed up a mouthful of blood again, and said intermittently, "Lord Qin, let me breathe for a while, and I'll catch up with you later." Sorry for the inconsiderate greetings, I hope you forgive me!"

"Lord Luo Meng, please!"

In the chaos, Luo Tianjin was pushed out of the middle hall by Xie Xuan and others, leaving only the people of the Qin family who looked at each other, and Duan Tianhong, who was full of embarrassment.

"The lord of the Qin Mansion!" Liu Xunyi bowed his hand to Qin Ming to apologize, "The lord of the mansion is occasionally unwell, look at the lord of the Qin mansion, Haihan." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Qin Ming's attitude towards Liu Xunyi was far less gentle than that towards Luo Tianjin. He sat back at the table expressionlessly, completely ignoring Liu Xunyi's greetings, and went straight to eating and drinking.

Seeing this, Qin Da greeted him, and the disciples of the Qin family were no longer polite, gobbling up the dishes one by one, and cleaning the table full of dishes.

"Forgive me for being rude, dare to ask the lord of the Qin Mansion when he comes to the mansion, what are you doing?" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Xunyi waited for an opportunity to probe, "I don't know if I can help you?"

"You can't help. In the face of Liu Xunyi's compliment, Qin Ming didn't even blink his eyelids, and said indifferently, "After the Lord of the Luo League recovers from his injury, it is not too late for the Lord of this Mansion to discuss with him." ”

"The Lord of the Qin Mansion also saw just now that King Beixian's injuries are not light, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to heal for a while......

"It's okay!" Qin Ming seemed to have expected Liu Xunyi's resignation, so he showed contempt and sneered, "Qin has time, whether it is ten days and a half months, or a year and a half, I will wait for him." ”

"This ......" Liu Xunyi was secretly frightened, and was speechless for a while.

"Don't worry! I won't cheat at King Xian's mansion. Qin Ming got up slowly, confident and confident, "Lord Duan Bao has a mansion in the east of Luoyang City, and I have spent a lot of money to buy it. Therefore, Qin will live in his own house and wait for the good news of the Lord of the Luo League. ”

With that, Qin Ming's smug gaze swept over Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku, and instead walked towards the outside of the hall.

"That's right!"

Walking to the door, Qin Ming suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "Tell the Lord of the Luo League for me, let him recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, don't be anxious." Qin is very patient and can wait slowly. ”

After saying that, Qin Ming looked up to the sky and laughed, and under Liu Xunyi's solemn gaze, he led the people to leave the Xianwang Mansion in a majestic manner.
