Chapter Ninety-Five: The Show Begins
Since that day, after the separation of the two groups of 'relatives' with their own thoughts, the atmosphere at the foot of Wudang Mountain has changed, and the officials and nobles of the family have appeared one after another to visit the three members of the royal family, which can scare a lot of martial arts people, for fear that they will cause dissatisfaction with each other due to personal grievances.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, Xingxu, the head of Wudang, didn't know what was crazy, and suddenly ordered the eldest disciple Jiang Shi to lead people down the mountain to set up the reception venue, and returned all the money that everyone had rented the house and inn before, and Wudang funded the purchase of an annex to receive martial arts people from all walks of life.
A group of Jianghu warriors were full of doubts, and the angry Jiang Shi almost shook his hand, but fortunately, there were several of Jiang Shi's junior disciples later, who have been comforting this conscientious senior brother behind his back, you must know that just by holding this martial arts conference, Wudang has used up ten years of incense money, if you add these, the next few years of Wudang canteen, I am afraid that it will be reduced to a hill with the canteen of Jieyin Temple.
After Liu Ran asked Xingxu about the cause and effect, Liu Ran, who didn't pay attention to the sect's assets all the year round, also sweated for Jiang Shi, and at the same time gave Xingxu a thumbs up, and said narrowly, "Uncle Shi, you really make Liu Ran admire, such a big deal, my Yuxu faction will definitely not be able to afford it, the four words of the leader of the rivers and lakes, Wudang is definitely worthy of it." ”
Rolling his eyes angrily, Xingxu stroked his beard, and snorted without smiling, "Liu girl, don't give me useless, I know that your relationship with King Heng is not ordinary, but this design is all for him, let me tell you, how much is this silver, King Heng's kid must bear it in full, otherwise don't blame Lao Dao for rolling with him, don't you see that my eldest apprentice has run several times to the Danfang in the past two days? ”
Hearing Xingxu's threat, Liu Ran was angry and funny, for those people, it was obvious that there was no need to be so troublesome, this old man had to add to the snake, and he also slipped all the money on Dongfang Yi. After shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Liu Ran couldn't help but smile and promised, "Don't worry, uncle, I will negotiate with His Royal Highness King Heng about this matter." ”
To appease Xingxu, Liu Ran didn't stay long, and hurriedly swept down the mountain, although Xingxu's move was a little abrupt, but it could not deny the benefits of this matter, as long as Wudang held on to the righteousness, even if Dongfang Wei and Dongfang Tao and the local government appeared together, they could not prevent Wudang from getting involved in this matter, and even Zhang Yuqi could only occupy Wudang's side and shoot against those people with Wudang.
Rushing to the inn where Shangguan Qiuyan and the others lived, Liu Ran didn't say a word, and hurriedly told everyone Xingxu's plan, so as not to have a scene where the two parties washed the Dragon King Temple when they were in action.
Knowing that Wudang's side was ready to participate in it, Shangguan Qiuyan muttered, "In this way, it seems that Wudang's plan is not small, in order to assist us, he even cares about his reputation in the future!"
Zhao Zhen said solemnly on the side, "Although I don't know why the Xingxu Daoist wants to make such a big effort, but at the moment, it seems that we work together is the best way, the Daoist has a saying that is right, no matter right or wrong, righteousness is the key, we have achieved righteousness, the strength will rise, on the contrary, it will also break the mind of King Chen and King Chen to participate in this matter." ”
After thinking for a while, Shangguan Qiuyan raised her head and asked, "Does Wudang mean that we will make a move in the dark and expand the matter?"
Nodding, Liu Ran said in a deep voice, "Uncle Xingxu means this, it's best for us to involve all the martial arts people under the mountain, he said that these people under the mountain are now receiving the favor of Wudang, if the Wudang disciples are in trouble, they don't help, and they will be criticized for walking the rivers and lakes in the future." ”
Secretly praised the old fox, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "What a plan to kill four birds with one stone, not only found an excuse to participate in this matter, but also expanded our strength for us, using the rivers and lakes to deter the people behind the group of small people, and sold a big favor to us by the way." ”
After a pause, Zhao Zhen asked with a smile, "Dare to ask the door master, whose head did the Wudang spend at the bottom of the mountain end this time?"
Hearing this, Liu Ran smiled bitterly with a slightly embarrassed face: "Uncle said that it is all borne by His Royal Highness King Heng!"
Zhao Zhen suddenly showed an expression that was really like this, and then turned his head to Shangguan Qiuyan and smiled, "In this way, I advise Sister Shangguan to talk to Xiao Jiu, don't look at that kid's generous moves, in fact, he is a miser who loves money like his life, if he knows that there is a wrongful account waiting for him, it is estimated that the first thing he will do when he comes to Wudang is to kick the hall." ”
Shangguan Qiuyan thought about it, sighed helplessly, and then looked at Liu Ran and asked, "How much did Wudang spend this time, let Jiang Shi give me a number, and I will pay for this money!"
After taking a deep look at the other party, Liu Ran nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Wudang to send the accounts when I turn around, and by the way, the two sides will contact each other." ”
After discussing the next plan of action, Liu Ran left the inn and went to the Guanfu Post House to meet his apprentice.
Seeing Liu Ran away, Zhao Zhen returned upstairs and saw Shangguan Qiuyan closing her eyes and meditating in front of the window at the end of the corridor, so Zhao Zhen stepped forward and asked, "Sister Shangguan, what are you thinking?"
Opening his eyes, Shangguan Qiuyan said calmly, "I'm thinking about why the little guy's footsteps are so slow, you must know that this martial arts conference is very involved, there are his grievances, his mother's grievances, and there are a lot of sneaky things hidden behind it, if the enemy is allowed to seize the opportunity, my planning in the past few years will be in vain." ”
Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Zhao Zhen changed the topic and continued to ask, "I have always had something I don't understand over the years, why did you fall in love with Xiao Jiu? Even if that kid's unintentional actions moved you back then, but the two of you are one round apart, and you are not afraid of the world's criticism when you are together?"
Seeing Zhao Zhen's curious look, Shangguan Qiuyan replied, "Then I'll also ask you, why are you obsessed with Yue'er alone? What kind of person is her mother, others can't see through it, you've seen it so many times, can't you see through it?"
Zhao Zhen smiled as a matter of course, "She is her, the queen is the queen, what I like is her and not her mother, I don't care who her mother is, and Yue'er has a quiet and independent personality, and she doesn't like disputes, I don't believe that the queen can still affect her." ”
With a sneer, Shangguan Qiuyan sneered, "Then you don't know her mother's personality! But I advise you, if one day you know her true temperament, you must take Yue'er away and fly away, what you said is right, she is her, her mother is her mother, and the past should not implicate her!"
After saying this, Zhao Zhen's face changed suddenly, and he stared at Shangguan Qiuyan with burning eyes and asked, "Are you saying that Concubine Xian's grievances are related to the queen's mother?"
Who knows, Shangguan Qiuyan shook his head and laughed at himself, "How should I tell you! In this matter, my subordinate Qiuxue Palace did not find any clues, not even an intersection, but my intuition told me that she could not escape the death of Sister Xueqing." ”
It is about his brother and wife, and these two are still sisters and brothers, Zhao Zhen is willing to give up, so he asked with an embarrassed face, "Then why do you suspect the queen mother?" As far as I know, the queen has been living in a simple house all these years, and she has never participated in the harem battles, even if she is suspected of putting on a show, but what reason does she have to frame Concubine Xian Niangniang." ”
Facing Zhao Zhen's questioning, Shangguan Qiuyan smiled coldly, and immediately put up a six-one gesture, sneering, "I think you should know about the sixth sister of Jinlan, but I guess you shouldn't know why the sixth sister came to that point back then, right?"
Zhao Zhen nodded with a heavy face and said, "That's right, Xiao Jiu told me about the sixth sister of Jinlan, but the reason was not explained!"
Subsequently, Shangguan Qiuyan changed six to three, and said with a hateful face, "Actually, there is no other reason, just because they are all in love with someone they shouldn't love, and I suspect that Wu Yueying has three reasons, first, only the people of your previous generation know about the things of the previous generation, how did the king know about the events of the year? Second, over the years, Wu Yueying has always been unapologetic to Sister Xueqing and me, but she only asked Liu Ran why is this? You must know that Sister Xueqing has never taken what she did back then to heart, and Liu Ran is also dissatisfied with what happened back then. Third, whether it was before or after Sister Xueqing's death, she was too calm and calm, you have to understand, even if an irrelevant outsider died, in a place like the palace, she should also show a trace of emotion and pretend, right?
After listening to Shangguan Qiuyan's analysis, Zhao Zhen's face gradually became solemn, the other party was right, no matter what happened back then, the sister who bowed her head in the palace and didn't look up was dead, and the queen didn't react at all, to be exact, there was no emotion at all, this is too abnormal, you must know that the two are Jinlan sisters, and Chu Xueqing's son is the emperor's favorite prince, isn't she afraid that Dongfang Yi will complain about her?
Looking up at the stars outside the window, Zhao Zhen laughed at himself, then turned his gaze to Shangguan Qiuyan, and pleaded, "Sister Shangguan, for the sake of Zhao Zhen who has called you for so many years, can you not tell Xiao Jiu or Yue'er about this matter, let them go naturally, okay?"
Lowering her arm, Shangguan Qiuyan leaned back slightly, leaned against the frame of the window, smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't tell the little guy about this!" However, I think you are not begging me here, it is better to try to take Yue'er away after this martial arts conference, you must understand, according to the IQ of the little guy, this kind of thing will be found out by him sooner or later, and it will be useless for me to hide it at that time!"
Nodding heavily, Zhao Zhen laughed at himself, "I naturally understand Xiao Jiu's ability, but I really don't want any problems between their siblings." ”
And just as Zhao Zhen was entangled in this matter, Dongfang Yi and Bushan had already stepped into the boundary of Yanzhou and were quickly rushing towards Wudang.
At the same time, the leader of the unknown forces who learned that the Wudang disciples had descended the mountain quickly gathered the leaders of the various squads together to discuss countermeasures.
Sweeping over the group of companions in front of him, the Great Commander who only showed his eyes said in a deep voice, "It is reported that Dongfang Yi has already stepped into Yanzhou and will arrive in Wudang in a few days, and most of the Wudang disciples have also descended the mountain, so the Lord has decided that we will postpone the plan to the day before the martial arts conference, and you will lurk during this period, and you are not allowed to reveal any traces, understand!"
"Oh, we will obey the Lord's command!"
