Since Qingfeng announced that the "hoe and rape conference" would be held in the Xianwang Mansion on the fifth day of the fifth month, heroes and heroes from all over the world gathered in Luoyang City, making the business of inns, teahouses, wine shops, gambling houses, and Qinglou in the city booming.

Among them, especially Tianxiang Building, Donghai Tea House, Sixi Inn and other largest, the most famous signboard business is the most prosperous. Even though their money for housing, food, and wine has increased several times compared to normal days, these places are still crowded after noon every day, and it is difficult to find a room, a table, or even a person in every household.

No matter how hot the store is, there are at least dozens of customers lining up outside the door holding silver.

This shows that this 'hoe and rape conference' that swept the Central Plains martial arts brought much vitality and business opportunities to Luoyang City?

April 23, noon.

Donghai Teahouse is as full of guests as ever, and the traffic in front of the door almost blocks most of the street. Most of the guests in groups of three or five are carrying swords and baggage, going in and out, in an endless stream.

Far away, people can clearly hear the noise of the guests in the teahouse, the shouting of the guys, and the intermittent and fluctuating tunes and tunes.

This liveliness, at least from noon to late at night, although the Donghai teahouse made a lot of money, but also made the surrounding people unrestful day and night.

Helplessly, although the people are miserable, looking at the people in the rivers and lakes who come and go from their doors, they are fierce and vicious, with big shoulders and round waists, and these ordinary people who keep to themselves can only close the door and swallow their anger.

On the bustling streets, a horse-drawn carriage shuttles unscrupulously between the flow of people, attracting bursts of complaints and scolding from time to time.

However, when passers-by saw the wooden sign hanging on the carriage with the words "Xian Wangfu" written on it, the swear words that slipped into their mouths were swallowed alive by them. The bold man muttered a few words in a low voice, and the timid simply buried his head to the side, for fear that his outrageous remarks just now would be heard by the people in the carriage and invite unwarranted disasters.

In front of everyone's eyes, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the crowded Donghai Teahouse.

Half a month ago, the shopkeeper saw that there were more and more customers coming and going, so he deliberately arranged for more than a dozen "guys" to wait outside the store. One is to solicit guests, and the other is to maintain order.

Ordinary guests come to the door, either fast in or out. If you dare to stay here, you will be urged and pushed by them, and at worst, your flesh and skin will suffer.

These idle men are called "guys", but they are actually ruffians on the streets of Luoyang. One by one, they have slanted eyebrows and crooked eyes, they are arrogant, they have collars around their necks, and wooden sticks pinned to their waists.

Although there are many "fierce people" in the rivers and lakes who gang up and have a strong temperament among the guests, there is the support of the Xian Wangfu behind the Donghai Teahouse. Therefore, the ability of these "guys" to fake tigers and tigers has naturally risen, and ordinary green forest heroes and gang disciples from other places are not taken seriously by them at all.

From morning till night, he was arrogant, shouting, and sneering...... If they dare to say a few words to them, these people will immediately gather their minions to bully more and less. If they encounter hard stubble, they will not be more serious, either move out of the name of the Xian Wangfu to intimidate the other party, or immediately change a group of people to come over and make amends with smiling faces.

Of course, in the final analysis, these people are just taking people's money and "guarding the home" for others.

The shopkeeper does not seek wealth, so most of the "guys" he is looking for are "bright-eyed and bright-hearted" and are well versed in the way of knowing people. It is often easy to discern at a glance what kind of guests can be provoked and what kind of guests cannot be provoked.

Just like the carriage that came belatedly, the "forbidden place" where ordinary guests had to be driven away even one stop, this carriage blatantly blocked the door of the Donghai Teahouse.

The men who were guarding the door were not as domineering as they were to the other guests, but they rushed forward in a swarm, setting up the stools with flattering faces, and respectfully supporting the "distinguished guests" in the carriage.

As he spoke, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy hurriedly ran out of the teahouse and bowed to the oncoming guests: "Villain, meet the Lonely Moon Daoist, and I have seen all the young heroes." ”

Shunxi is Ling Xiaoxiao's cronies in the Donghai Teahouse.

"Are you Shunxi?" Gu Yue looked up and down at Shunxi, who was nodding her head, and asked casually, "Do you know the old man's intention?"

"The villain knows that Madame has made it clear. ”

"Now that you know, what are you waiting for?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" seemed to hear the impatience in Gu Yue's tone, Shun Xi's face changed in fright, and he hurriedly replied, "Your guest has been waiting in the private room upstairs for a long time, Dao Chief, please come with me." ”

After that, Shunxi led the lonely moon and a few people to walk quickly into the overcrowded, boiling Donghai Teahouse, crowded in the shoulder to shoulder lobby, until they ascended the stairs to be relatively quiet and spacious.

"Dao Chief, your distinguished guest is inside. ”

Outside the private room on the second floor, Shunxi gently knocked on the door under the guidance of Gu Yue's eyes.

"Bang, bang!"

"Who?" asked an urn in the room. Love you eBook

"The villain is happy, Qin Gongzi's friend has arrived. ”

"Come in!"

With the promise, Shun Xi cautiously pushed open the door, thus standing sideways and letting Gu Yue and several Wudang disciples into the room.

"Chu Mao, you go down to drink tea, Ben Hou wants to catch up with Daoist Guyue alone. ”

"Yes!"

A screen is erected in the private room, which divides the room into two. Before the few people in the lonely moon bypassed the screen, a light and breezy conversation came out behind the screen.

Immediately afterwards, four or five big men with grim expressions and steel knives on their waists walked out of the screen one after another. Seeing the few people in Guyue, Chu Mao, who was the leader, bowed slightly, and then walked out of the room silently.

"Go out too. "Lone Moon whispered," in ...... Guarding the door. ”

"Yes. ”

Surrendering his orders, several Wudang disciples rushed out and gently closed the door of the room.

"The gift that Ben Hou gave to the Qingfeng Alliance Leader, I don't know if it suits his old man's heart?"

With a joking laughter, a handsome boy with a light fur and a scarf and feather fan slowly bypassed the screen and appeared in front of Gu Yue with a spring breeze on his face.

This person is the "good brother" who relied on Liu Xunyi for his life in the past and was inseparable, and today the Great Song Dynasty court, the owner of the Tianji Pavilion in the East Mansion, Qin Wei.

As soon as she saw Qin Wei, Gu Yue, who wanted to give up her greetings, couldn't help but be stunned, and said in astonishment: "Lord Qin's dress today......

"After all, this is not the realm of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is inconvenient for Benhou to be an official of the imperial court. Change your disguise so as not to provoke trouble. Qin Wei admired his outfit with great interest, and asked thoughtfully, "How?

"Lord Qin is extraordinary, his instruments are magnificent, and he exudes heroic spirit in his gestures, how can he be compared with a weak scholar?"

"I really can't imagine that the martial arts seniors who crisscross the rivers and lakes boast about people, and they are not inferior to those of us who are mixed in the officialdom. After that, Qin Wei and Gu Yue seemed to have a tacit understanding and laughed together.

"Before coming here, the head of the house told me that the old man must repeatedly thank Lord Qin for his help. "Gu Yue bowed to Qin Wei, "The head of the house said, 'If you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game'." This time, it was we who were snickered and took it lightly, so that they could take advantage of it. If it weren't for Lord Qin sending someone out of the customs in time to capture Yuan Ting, the 'hoeing and rape conference' on the fifth day of the fifth month of May would probably be difficult to end. ”

"Oh?" Qin Wei raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously, "Is Yuan Ting really so important......?" Can it also determine the success or failure of the 'hoe and rape conference'?"

"Yuan Ting is not important, but the person behind him ...... But it was more important than Lord Qin imagined. ”

"You mean Yuan Xiao?"

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if. Out of caution, the boss had to think of the worst of the results. Gu Yue replied unhurriedly, "As for Yuan Ting's back...... Not alone. More precisely, more than one person. However, Lord Qin can rest assured that even if the worst happens, the head of the sect will be able to deal with it calmly, and will never affect Lord Qin and the officials. ”

"What's the worst-case scenario?" Qin Wei didn't get away with Gu Yue's "vague words", but asked sharply, "What's wrong with Yuan Xiao?"

"What's the problem, Yuan Xiao?" Gu Yue stared at the thoughtful Qin Wei, silent for a long time, before he said bluntly word by word, "The worst-case scenario speculated by the head is ...... At present, Wudang is embattled, and Luoyang City has become a prison cage that is magnificent on the surface, but in fact it is full of murderous opportunities. Whoever is close to us will not escape the bad luck, and none of them will leave alive. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Qin Wei's reaction was far less panicked than Gu Yue had imagined. is young, but he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he is not shocked by changes, which undoubtedly impresses Gu Yue, and at the same time thinks in his heart: "The imperial court is not all wine bags and rice bags, like Qin Wei's mind and courage of 'landslide in front of the mountain and the face does not change', few people can do it throughout the Central Plains martial arts." ”

The head suspects that he has mistakenly fallen into the trap set by Xun Qin and Liu Xunyi, and Yuan Xiao is just a pawn for them. Gu Yue replied straight to the point, "Everything is a conspiracy they calculated in advance, including Liu Xunyi's capture by Xie Xuansheng and ...... The head wants to use Liu Xunyi's head to save the face of the leader of the martial arts alliance, which is the original intention of our 'hoeing conference'. ”

"The Qingfeng Alliance Master is an upright martial arts alliance leader, even if Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin are exhausted, it is impossible to change their fate as 'public enemies of martial arts'. Qin Wei asked rhetorically as if he didn't understand, "Their confrontation with the Qingfeng Alliance Lord is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree." As for Yuan Xiaozhi and his ilk...... It's not worth it. I don't understand, why are you so excited? Could it be that you ...... Do they have a magic weapon to turn things around?"

"If they can 'turn right and wrong', the next step is to 'turn things around.'" Gu Yue shook her head and smiled bitterly as she spoke, "On the seventh night of the lunar month the year before last, what happened in the Xianwang Mansion? How did Luo Tianjin die? Lord Qin has personally experienced and witnessed it, don't you remember?"

"What do you mean......"

"You can remember, Liu Xunyi can also remember it clearly. Gu Yue looked solemn and nodded heavily, "If he 'bites back' at the hoe and rape conference, coupled with the fanning of Xie Xuan, Xun Qin and a group of rabble, the gossip will be bewitching." Lord Qin thought it was ...... Will the various factions of the martial arts still support a leader of the martial arts alliance who 'steals power and usurps the throne'? Once the boat capsizes in the gutter of Wudang and falls into isolation during the Dragon Boat Festival in May, will this 'hoe and rape meeting' not be a wedding dress for others? Wouldn't it be a hoe and hoe rape and a hoe and a traitor, but he himself will become a giant traitor who deceives the heavens and the earth and blames others...... Difficult to end?"

......
