When Zhou Chuqing heard this, he was shocked, and asked urgently: "Did anyone say what kind of book you appreciate?"

Zhao Sheng shook his head and said, "The letterhead of all the guests is the same except for the different names, but it is strange that the letter does not indicate what kind of book you admire. ”

At this time, Qin Kai on the side suddenly interjected: "But in recent days, I have often heard people mention the "Su Jing", and I think it is probably this book!"

Zhou Chuqing's heart froze, and the hand holding the reins trembled slightly at this moment.

Mu Beiting drove his horse to the side of the three of them, and asked Zhao Sheng, "Do you have an invitation letter with you?"

Zhao Sheng naturally knew Mu Beiting, but he only looked at Zhou Chuqing in front of him before, and didn't pay attention to the people behind him, but when he suddenly saw it at this moment, he was inexplicably happy in his heart, and hurriedly took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over, and said in his mouth: "Mu Daxia! The villain hasn't seen you for many years!"

Qin Kai also said happily: "That's it! The head of the family often thinks of you! If the head of the family sees you as good as ever, he will definitely be very happy!"

Mu Beiting stretched out his hand to take the envelope, smiled at the two of them, and said, "I bother the two of you to lead the carriage behind you to the backyard, and then settle my wife in the wing room of the north courtyard." ”

Zhao Qin and the others received the order and promised to go, and walked back, and when they came to the side of the carriage, they saw Master Tong Ze who was in the shadows, and immediately became more happy, and they all saluted the master. Master Tongze also smiled and returned the salute.

Then the two of them led the coachman to the side door, and when the carriage passed by Mu Beiting, Xun Daier suddenly lifted the door curtain and called Mu Beiting lightly.

Mu Beiting looked sideways and said with a smile: "You settle Xun'er to sleep first, and I'll be there later." ”

Xun Dai'er looked concerned, and stopped talking, but nodded lightly, and then lowered the door curtain.

Mu Beiting opened the envelope and took out the letter, and looked at it by the light of the lantern on the door beam. The content of the letter is very simple, only writing: "Brother Ling Feng: Seeing words is like faces. I have been blessed with great grace and luck, and I have been given a book of peerless wonders, and I am truly blessed. However, while I was happy, I was also apprehensive, and I felt that I should not monopolize this luck, and I should share it with my virtuous brother. Therefore, it was decided that on the seventh day of the eighth month, a banquet was held in our mansion to invite my brother to enjoy this book. Handwritten by Lin Zongbian. July 27. ”

Mu Beiting read this letter back and forth three times, and after confirming that it was Lin Zongbian's handwriting, he was inexplicably suspicious in his heart, and turned his eyes to look at Master Tongze, who was already on the side, and said, "Master, Chu Qing, please take a look." As he spoke, he handed the letter over.

Master Tong Ze stretched out his hand to take it, and Zhou Chuqing also stepped forward, and the two of them were surprised after taking a closer look at it through the light.

Zhou Chuqing hurriedly said: "This letter must be false, although this book has been in the house for some time, but its identity has been undecided, until the night of July 27, it was determined, and at that time there were only the head of the house and me, this... Someone must have imitated the handwriting of the head of the house!"

Master Tongze frowned and asked, "It's really strange, who did this?"

Zhou Chuqing blurted out: "Isn't it the thief?" But as soon as the words came out, he shook his head again and again: "No, no." It must not have been the thief, and if he could know the news, why would he do it again? But what the hell is going on!"

Mu Beiting slowly lowered his head, watching the words on the letterhead light and dark under the flickering light, a sense of ominousness suddenly arose in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Maybe there is really a spy in the house..."

Zhou Chuqing shook his head again and again, and said firmly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! I know everyone in the mansion, they don't have the courage, let alone the ability!"

Seeing that Zhou Chuqing was so determined, Mu Beiting had no choice but to sigh and said: "This matter is hidden and mysterious, and the enemy is dark and clear, I am afraid it will not be easy to figure out a clue in a short time." Saying that, he touched the "Su Jing" in his arms, and said: "From this moment on, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we must not let this matter cause turmoil in the martial arts!"

Master Tongze thought deeply about it, and said with his head bowed: "The matter of the "Su Jing" is already known to the world, and it is impossible to avoid people's eyes and ears. Let's deal with it calmly, first tell the visiting public the truth here, and think that everyone will also work together with the enemy to rescue Zongbian's wife and children. ”

Mu Beiting turned over and got off his horse, and agreed: "What the master said is very true. Let's go in and meet the heroes of the house for a while, so that we can take a closer look at the invitation and act on it then!"

Master Tong Ze and Zhou Chuqing had no objections, and also turned over and got off the horse. The three of them led their mounts to the bolted stake next to the gate, bolted them, and then strode into the house.

As soon as I entered the hospital, I heard a noise from the east. Zhou Chuqing naturally knew where the movement came from, and immediately frowned and said, "They are in the 'Coriander Hall'!" Before finishing speaking, he walked first and hurriedly ran towards the "Coriander Hall". Mu Beiting and Master Tong Ze also followed.

"Coriander Hall" is the largest banquet hall in Fengfu, which can accommodate two or three hundred people at the same time. In recent days, the "Coriander Hall" has been open three times a day, receiving martial arts heroes from all walks of life who are "invited" to come to enjoy the book.

Although it is the middle of the night, the hall is still lively, and the people at the six or seven tables are still drinking and playing with money, and they are having a lot of fun. The servants of the Lin Mansion are also very self-contained, and they are still polite to this group of heroes who stay up late, and they do not come forward to persuade them to leave, but send special people to serve on the side, add tea and water, take wine and hot food, and do not fall behind.

Walking through the corridor, Zhou Chuqing and the three of them arrived at the door of the banquet hall in a blink of an eye, but before Zhou Chuqing could speak, they heard someone exclaim: "Ah! Look, everybody!"

Mu Beiting looked for the sound, and saw that the person who spoke was his old acquaintance, this person's name was Cheng Haiqun, and the rivers and lakes shouted "Luoyang Double Knife", and he often moved around in the Central Plains, but he was also quite famous.

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard the sound and looked at the door, and then there was a noise, and they all got up to greet each other, and saluted the three people at the door.

Mu Beiting and Zhou Chuqing returned the salute one by one, and Master Tongze signaled together. After everyone was at ease, Mu Beiting said loudly: "I didn't expect to be able to meet all your friends here tonight, it's really a blessing in life!"

Standing in front of the crowd in Luoyang's "Qianqiu Finger" Fan Yujun and Mu Beiting are old acquaintances, the two have worshiped the handle, at this time the brothers can see, Fan Yujun is infinitely happy, and hurriedly accosted: "Brother Mu, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, but I really want to worry about the old brother!"

When he said this, he suddenly grinned again, raised his eyebrows, and continued: "If it weren't for the Sutra, I don't know when you and my brother would have seen it. Come, come, take this opportunity to come over and have a few drinks with my brother. ”

Mu Beiting was overjoyed when he saw Fan Yujun take the initiative to mention the "Su Jing", but he deliberately sighed at the moment, and said slowly: "Thanks to the elder brother's concern, the younger brother deeply feels that the five are guilty, you and I should really drink and talk about joy when we see each other, and drink it for three days and three nights before giving up." But the brother did not come this time to appreciate the "Sutra", but for another important event. If not, I won't be able to drink well. ”

When Fan Yujun heard this, he suddenly became arrogant in his chest, and immediately stretched out his hand and patted his chest, and said loudly: "Today in front of all the heroes, my brother I let me say here, no matter what happens to the old brother of Beiting, even if it is on the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, I Fan will never shirk, and I must go with you!" He said this impassionedly, and the crowd didn't know who led the first to shout, followed by the applause one after another.

Mu Beiting clenched his fists and bowed, and said in thanks: "Brother Fan is a hot heart, chivalrous and courageous, needless to say." It's just that the thing I said also has something to do with the Sutra. ”

As soon as everyone heard that it was related to the "Su Jing", their eyes became hot in an instant, and after being targeted by these gazes, Mu Beiting, who was as stable as a mountain, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. But after taking a deep breath, he returned to normal, and immediately said frankly, starting from the origin of the "Su Jing", to how Lin Zongbian's wife and children were held hostage by the Japanese invaders, and then to why he went out of the mountain, all of which were told as they were. The slight ominties in it are supplemented by the words of Zhou Chuqing and Master Tongze.
