12 Hangdu welcomes the guests in battle

At the house of the village chief of Mingyue Village, when Xie Yixiang told the entire inference completely, Ye Dinggong laughed angrily, but he held a similar conclusion to De Yizi, and said: "This Emei Sword Sect is also a sect with a face in the rivers and lakes, who knew that in order to compete for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, he actually came up with such a stupid method, and it was really an idea that only these lowly mud legs could think of." Do they treat the major gangs as three-year-old children, or are they just a decoration?"

Everyone present was also embarrassed by this, you must know that even if the conspiracy of the Emei Sword Sect works smoothly, thus making the major gangs here poisonous, and they have to be elected as the leader of this martial arts alliance, then from now on, the Emei Sword Sect led by Zhu Ruoyu will also become the public enemy of the entire Central Plains martial arts, and it will eventually be destroyed. Moreover, although this "Red Infant Gu" is a long-lost ancient Gu poison, there are many people practicing medicine in the world, plus there are countless Gu masters in Miao Jiang, among them, there must be capable people who can resolve this poison; Therefore, it seems that such a scheme that does more harm than good and the gains outweigh the losses is really unwise.

However, by now, the suspicion of the Emei Sword Sect was almost certain, and after everyone discussed it, there were finally two major problems. The first is that the Emei Sword Sect intends to use the "Red Infant Gu" to harm people, but so far it is still only an inference, or a conjecture, and there is no evidence to confirm the crime, so as to publish it in the entire martial arts;

In the end, Ye Dinggong made up his mind, and said: "I have already said many times, this 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts' cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, even if there is no evidence, then Tai Sui's head will break ground, and Zhu Ruoyu and his Emei Sword Sect will be met for a while! Leng Tongban, the 'Hero Post' that invited the Emei Sword Sect to the meeting was sent by you, then you will be responsible for the end, and quickly send someone to find out the whereabouts of the Emei Sword Sect and his party at the moment." Then I personally led the crowd to greet them, and searched their bags one by one. Hmph, if there is really any Gu poison, then take one of them on the spot and get it. ”

The Leng Tongban immediately took the order and left, and the others were also busy, and then looked out the window, but the night was over and the sky was slightly bright. Everyone stayed awake all night, and Ye Dinggong arranged breakfast for the rest of the people in the house, which was white porridge, tea eggs, fried white fish and pickles. Xie Yixiang drank a bowl of white porridge with pickles, and gradually felt physically and mentally sleepy, so she leaned on a chair next to her and took a nap.

In a daze, she didn't know how long it took, she suddenly heard the voice of the cold mountain Leng Commander's Office, and said with a little horror: "Lord Ye, the avant-garde army has come down to report that this time the Emei Sword Sect boarded a boat from Yibin in Shudi, traveled along the Yangtze River by water to Jinling, and then took the land route to Taihu Lake, and now it has reached the boundary of Liyang. In another hour or two, we will arrive at Yixing City on the west side of Taihu Lake......"

Xie Yixiang woke up suddenly, only to see that Ye Dinggong was already gearing up, and scolded with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Just an Emei Sword Sect will be scared like this, what else do you say to dominate the entire Central Plains Martial Arts?" After saying that, he turned his head to Xian Jingyue and smiled: "The battle between Brother Jingyue and 'Dinghai Sword' Zhu Ruoyu seems to be inevitable. That's okay, taking advantage of today's opportunity, my Xuanwu Feihuamen will fight with his Emei Sword Sect for a game, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts' the day after tomorrow. ”

Before Xian Jingyue could answer, the Leng Tongban hurriedly grabbed back the conversation, still a little flustered in his voice, and said: "Lord Ye misunderstood, the humble position is not because he is afraid of his Emei Sword Sect, but ...... It is said that along with the Emei Sword Sect, there are also Shuzhong Tang Sect, Qingcheng Moke, Lingyun Killing Buddha, Chengdu Rongjin Gang, Pao Gehui, Xiling Sword Sect, Fengdu Ghost Claw Gate, Liangshan Sect and Tianfu League's nine major gangs, and it is actually the entire Sichuan and Shu martial arts led by the Emei Sword Sect, a total of more than 500 masters came together!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and Ye Dinggong's face was even pale. Xie Yixiang was shocked, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, in order to be different, this Lord Ye also deliberately came up with ingenuity, and thought of a set of "three visible, one hidden and one gang" rhetoric for the Central Plains martial arts, who knew that in private, the various sects were still based on the region. Now the entire Sichuan and Shu martial arts are coming together, obviously to advance and retreat together, if they can really work together, I am afraid that no faction in the martial arts can compete with it.

And in this way, everyone's inferences about the "Red Infant Gu" have become more and more complicated - could it be that the mastermind behind the whole thing is not the Emei Sword Sect, or even the entire Sichuan and Shu martial arts collusion? Ye Dinggong didn't dare to be careless, knowing that the other party had put up such a battle, and it was already difficult to deal with it with the power of the Xuanwu Feihuamen alone, so he hurriedly sent people to invite Dafu Linghu Temple, White Horse Temple, Wudang, Xuanmiaoguan, Tianxingjiao, The masters of the seven factions of the Baiyun Sword Sect and Murong Villa informed them to go to Hangdu Port in the eastern suburbs of Yixing City to wait, only saying that they were to welcome the Sichuan and Shu martial arts who came to the meeting.

As for the Xuanwu Feihuamen, Ye Dinggong just called Xie Yixiang, Xian Jingyue and Leng Tongban, plus Cheng Zhutou and Ximen Zhutou who were dispatched from the criminal arrest room. In addition, there were only ten disciples of the Xuanwu Flying Flower Sect who were not amazing.

Xie Yixiang saw that one of the ten Xuanwu Feihuamen disciples was the same Sun Bing who helped him repel the beggar gang elder yesterday, and immediately understood that these ten people were the palace guards sent by the emperor, and couldn't help but ask their names. Ye Dinggong said casually: "They are all colleagues who work for the imperial court, walking between the imperial city, where can they use any names? Miss Xie San called them Zhao Jia, Qian Yi, Sun Bing, Li Ding, Zhou Wu, Wu Ji, Zheng Geng, Wang Xin, Feng Ren, and Chen Gui in turn. ”

Xie Yixiang knew that these ten people were all first-class masters, although he was curious about where the imperial court recruited these guards, it was inconvenient to ask more. It is said that she didn't want to get involved in the matter of "Taihu Lake Martial Arts", but this "Red Baby Gu" matter is clearly related to the safety of the entire Central Plains martial arts, and she and her senior brother also had something to do with the Emei Sword Sect because of the "Emei Blood Baby" case that day, so she couldn't sit idly by, and finally set off by boat from the dock of Mingyue Village with everyone to Yixing City in the west of Taihu Lake.

By the time everyone arrived at the Hangdu Port Wharf in the eastern suburbs of Yixing City, there were already 500 soldiers waiting here and blocking the entire wharf, but it was Ye Dinggong who sent someone to inform Feng Changfeng that the forbidden army was transferred from his command. It didn't take long for the masters of the seven major sects who invited to help the fist also came by boat from Xishan Island, but most of them were only disciples, only the Dafu Linghu Temple and the Baiyun Sword Sect were the heads of the two families, respectively, the famous Buddhist monk Shanyin abbot and the Jianghu people called "Sword Pointing to Tiannan" Li Sijing. In addition, only the second-generation lay disciple of the Wudang faction, "Palm Sword and Double Peerless" He Zhengfeng, is a little famous, and he can be regarded as a man of the year in the rivers and lakes.

At present, the masters of various factions came over one after another to greet everyone in Xuanwu Feihuamen, and they all asked why they came to welcome the various factions of Sichuan and Shu martial arts. Ye Dinggong had no evidence, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything, only said that the pro-army Governor's Mansion got the news, maybe there were gangsters mixed in the various factions of the Sichuan and Shu martial arts, intending to be unfavorable to the major gangs on Xishan Island, so it was inevitable to search it, so he invited several major gangs to be a witness.

Xie Yixiang heard Ye Dinggong mention yesterday that the seven gangs that came to help the fist today were obviously secretly tied to the imperial court, and they decided to unanimously recommend the Xuanwu Feihuamen to lead the Central Plains martial arts. She was disdainful in her heart, and she didn't bother to go over to make friends, so she just waited silently in the crowd. After everyone finished greeting each other, about half an hour later, a sergeant came to report that the major gangs in Sichuan and Shu led by the Emei Sword Sect had come.

Everyone hurriedly waited for the battle, and their eyes looked to the west in unison. I saw that the first thing that caught my eye on the official road was more than a dozen vertical flags, with words such as "Tianfu Martial Arts", "Four Uniques in Shuzhong", "Xiujia World" and so on, followed by more than 100 young men and women with neat steps, all with white crowns and white clothes, and slanted swords, which were the disciples of the Emei Sword School in Shuzhong.

Seeing Ye Ding's Seven Great Sects and hundreds of sergeants waiting at the dock, a group of Emei Sword Sect disciples stopped in the open space in front of the dock and skillfully lined up their formations. Immediately after the team separated, a group of people came out in turn, namely the "Six Great Sword Envoys", "Ten Elders" and two deputy heads of the Emei Sword Sect, and finally two people carried a sliding rod out of the ranks. But seeing that the sliding rod was a man in his fifties, short in stature, with thin eyes and short beard, it was clearly the head of the Emei Sword School today and the fourth "Dinghai Sword" Zhu Ruoyu on the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes.

Until the Emei Sword Sect set up a battle, hundreds of people stepped forward one after another, but it was the major gangs in Sichuan and Shu such as Tangmen, Qingcheng Mojia and Lingyun Temple, standing on the left and right of the Emei Sword Sect, like the stars holding the moon, and Zhu Ruoyu on the sliding rod was clustered in the middle. Seeing this, the abbot of the Great Fu Eagle Temple couldn't help but whisper: "Amitabha, this Zhu Sect is really a big man!" The head of the Baiyun Sword Sect, Li Zhangmen, also smiled: "The rivers and lakes all say that my Baiyun Sword Sect and Emei Sword Sect are in South China and West China. I don't want to see it today, just in terms of pomp and circumstance, but it was my South China martial arts that lost. ”

Seeing the other party putting on such a battle, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but be secretly shocked in her heart. If the "Red Infant Gu" incident is really conspired by the entire Sichuan and Shu martial arts, then I am afraid that today's matter will not be over. Looking at the hundreds of people on the opposite side, there were clearly more than 30 carriages swinging out, each carriage was closed with a curtain, and she didn't know what was hidden inside, she hurriedly whispered to Xian Jingyue beside her: "These carriages are a little weird, and they are hidden in the car if they are afraid!" Xian Jingyue nodded slowly, but her eyes were always staring at Zhu Ruoyu on the sliding pole.
