After arranging for the repair of the Xiaoyao Inn, and telling Xiao Jinyan not to miss the time, Li Chengcheng left Suzhou on the second day.

The wedding date is approaching, and he still has a lot to do. Although there are such things as making candy, cutting window flowers, and decorating the wedding room are all done by the servants in the house, there are some important things in the family that require him to go out in person, and in addition, he has to go to the homes of some important people to deliver invitations.

This is also what Li Xiaohua means.

According to Li Tingcheng's idea, he and Li Jinhua became married, it was a matter between the two, and it was enough to hold a wedding banquet between relatives in the clan, but Li Xiaohua, as the head of the family, and his son's wedding, that was the top priority in the clan this year in addition to the ancestor worship ceremony, not to mention, he also thought that Li Tingcheng would be able to take over in the future, so he invited people from all walks of life.

Due to the ancestor worship ceremony, there are still many people who have not left, so it saves a lot of trouble to organize another grand event.

The wedding banquet is lively.

So Li Tingcheng had to obey his father's intentions, after all, marrying Li Jinhua had caused a lot of controversy in the clan, but Li Tingcheng saved the whole family and was in danger.

As for the martial arts conference, Li Chengcheng was not interested.

Nowadays, the presence of the Martial Arts Alliance in the rivers and lakes is too low, except for shouting a few times every year when paying the membership fee, the rest of the time, there is no need to do anything. In particular, this leader of the Left League has embezzled his membership funds to travel around the mountains and rivers in the past few years, and everywhere he went, he preached his set of theories on peace in the rivers and lakes and put an end to strife, and there was not a single policy that was truly implemented.

For example, for hundreds of years, the martial arts conference banned the Tang Sect's weapons of mass destruction, rainstorm pear flower needle, and as a result, during his tenure, there was a resurgence. For example, Tang Tang, the corpse demon apprentice of the Western Regions, appeared on the rivers and lakes, and her biochemical weapons also caused panic among the major sects.

After Zuo Stan's theory did not work, he began to get involved with environmental protection again, and found an ignorant girl from nowhere, surnamed Hao, whose name was Dai You, who claimed that "cultivating true qi destroys the ozone layer", and walked around, and every time he said the first sentence, how dare he dare to wait, and was nicknamed by the people of the rivers and lakes, "good oil" girl.

This is the current situation of the Martial Arts Alliance.

When Xiao Jinyan was the leader of the alliance, he was young and vigorous, and he relied on the power of Dengwenyuan, and he did a lot of practical things in the rivers and lakes, such as embezzling the money of Dengwenyuan for disaster relief, etc., of course, he also did a lot of ridiculous things, but all in all, he was a little stronger than Zuo Stan.

Of course, Zuostan will never admit it, and how can the new leader of the alliance quickly establish his prestige when he takes office? That is, he will completely reject his predecessor, whether it is right or wrong. Wrong decisions should be unswervingly vetoed and exaggerated bad, and correct decisions should also be boiled in warm water. Only in this way can we re-woo and gather new people who are desperate.

As for the level and ability of people?

Who cares?

As long as no one threatens the dominant position of the Left League, those disobedient sects will be expelled directly, and there are still many people lining up to get in anyway. And the four great families and the eight major sects will not put them in their eyes, anyway, the martial arts alliance is just a tool for them to compete for interests, like a night pot, when they use it, they shout a few words, and after using it, they will abandon it like a cheat.

The leader of the Left League is also self-aware, and he is desperately trying to curry favor with the first-class sects, suppress the second-rate sects, win over the third-rate sects, and play games among the major forces in the rivers and lakes, so in the past few years, the leader of the Left League has led the martial arts alliance for many years without stepping down with a cultivation of the Xuan Realm, which is closely related to the principles and policies it has adopted.

And provoking Dongfang Nuan Nuan is the most regrettable decision that the leader of the Left League has made in his life. Over the past few years, although the confrontation between good and evil has been diluted on the rivers and lakes, the Bright God Sect has the inheritance of the Demon Sect, acts in its own way, and maintains a relatively mysterious state, and at the same time does not engage in public welfare and publicity, and the reputation is not very good, so when Dongfang Nuannuan proposed to sponsor the Martial Arts Alliance, he hesitated, but when Dongfang Nuannuan poisoned him, he could only compromise.

Xiao Jinyan helped for a long time, and took the opportunity to go to the original town, found a few friends to catch up, and early in the morning of the third day, he and Baolu were called up by Fan Wuchang, and began to be busy, pulling banners and making water cards.

Fan Wuchang deliberately wore a brand new satin, and stood at the door early in the morning to greet the heroes of the rivers and lakes who came to participate in the martial arts conference.

On the third pole of the day, there was still no one coming, Fan Wuchang was a little panicked, and said in his heart, could it be that he remembered the wrong time? Send someone to Tianxianglou to ask the people of the Martial Arts Alliance, and confirm it again and again before he put his mind at ease.

It's close to noon.

"The leader of the Left Alliance has arrived!"

Zuo Stan took five or six directors of the Martial Arts Alliance, as well as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and stepped into the Xiaoyao Inn, Fan Wuchang stepped forward and arched his hand, saying: "The visit of the leader of the Left Alliance to the Xiaoyao Inn really makes the small shop shine." ”

Zuo Stan had never heard of this inn, and he always felt that he was not very popular, but when he saw Fan Wuchang's expectant face, he thought to himself, sure enough, people in small places have never seen the world, and he raised his head and said "um".

In front of the living, you have to hold a shelf, especially the dignified martial arts alliance leader, you have to have the courage of the martial arts alliance leader, your own status is noble, you can say less, you can't even be a broken shop owner, you have to be kind and happy.

Zuostan looked around at the inn, although it was not big, but it was cleaned up, and asked, "Are all the people here?"

Fan Wuchang said, "Counting the six of you, there are more than a dozen people here." ”

"Then wait. ”

His face is not good-looking, although there is no first-class sect in Suzhou City, counting the area south of the Yangtze River, there are also thirty or forty forces, the leader of the martial arts alliance, ordering the rivers and lakes, and the order of the leader of the alliance is out, even if the head does not come, he has to send a few deputy heads and elders to give face.

Zolstan asked his subordinates, "How did you inform me?"

The subordinate said, "Alliance leader, we have been working fast these days, and the alliance leader's order has indeed been issued, and we have all received receipts." ”

"If it's too late before noon, you're the only one to ask!"

Seeing this, the man said, "I'll urge again, maybe the road is blocked." With that, he ran out of the smoke and went straight to the labor market in the east of the city.

Zuostan put his hands behind his back, went to a table of eight immortals, picked a stool, and sat down.

Crash!

Two days ago, when Baolu and Xiao Jinyan were fighting, they accidentally damaged a few stools, Fan Wuchang made do with it in order to save money, but it was not repaired, and the martial arts conference was on the second floor, but unexpectedly, Zuo Stan was sitting on it.

Zostan sat on the ground, his face gloomy.

Fan Wuchang said, "It is worthy of being the leader of the martial arts alliance, walking, sitting and lying have divine power to protect the body, and with a light touch, I will sit on my hundred-year-old shipwreck wooden stool, admire!"

This sycophant made Zuo Stan's heart very comfortable, and the previous catch was forgotten. Fan Wuchang brought another stool, tried it himself, and then said, "Alliance leader, please take a seat!"

He shouted to the back kitchen again, "No tea yet!"

Xiao Jinyan came to the hall with tea, stood behind Zuo Stan, and said, "Alliance leader, please use tea!"

Everyone present is a member of the Martial Arts Alliance, but it was seven or eight years ago that Xiao Jinyan became the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and the old people in the alliance had already retired and retired, and they were suppressed, and they didn't know Xiao Jinyan.

Zuo Stan's head was not raised, he picked up the tea, took a sip, and squirted out.

"Is this tea, or salt?" Boss Fan, are you so careless about doing things in your shop?"

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "This is the best sea salt, salt tea concocted through eight processes, we guys went to Hanshan Temple in the middle of the night to pick up the well water, how can the alliance leader say that we don't care?"

Zostan frowned, "It's not like salt?"

The girl who came with her said, "Alliance leader, in my opinion, he did it on purpose, this kid has a flamboyant tongue and a hippie smile, and he looks very unenvironmentally friendly, if he is not punished, I am afraid that he will fall into the prestige of our martial arts alliance!"

Xiao Jinyan glanced at her, "Before the leader of the left alliance spoke, you made a decision for the leader of the alliance, aren't you afraid of losing the prestige of the leader of the left alliance?"

"How dare you talk to this girl in such a tone?"

"What do you call a girl?"

"Hao Daiyou. The girl said, "You fellow, you must not have heard of it." ”

Zuo Stan said, "Xiao Hao, say a few words, and give you a chance to speak in a while." He said to Xiao Jinyan again, "Don't you apologize to the girl?"

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "Why don't I apologize to the leader of the Left Alliance?"

Zuo Stan heard the familiar voice, turned around, and saw that it was Xiao Jinyan, he was suddenly startled, and said in amazement, "Why are you?"

Xiao Jinyan waved his hand, "Isn't this being pulled by someone to be a strong man." ”

Although Xiao Jinyan couldn't get used to Zuo Stan's pretentious behavior, he didn't have any ill feelings towards him, anyway, this martial arts alliance leader didn't want to do it, he just took advantage of the situation and seized the opportunity.

Xiao Jinyan's reputation is not good in the rivers and lakes now, especially in Yinyang City, where he turned his face with his fellow Jianghu and killed a number of Jianghu colleagues, which can be regarded as a blatant enemy of various major sects. For this reason, many sects also sent letters to question why the Martial Arts Alliance did not include him in the blacklist, and some people suggested that the Martial Arts Alliance launch the alliance leader order to hunt down Xiao Jinyan.

But Zuo Stan was afraid of offending Dengwen Academy, so he kept pretending to be deaf and dumb, and as soon as Li Chuntie lost power, the Bright God Sect came to the door again, leaving the crusade against him behind.

Hao Daiyou asked, "Does the alliance leader know this person?"

Zuo Stan smiled bitterly, "He's Xiao Jinyan." ”

When Hao Dai heard this, his willow eyebrows were upside down, "It turned out to be a scum of the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts conference was held today, and there was a lack of a reason, why don't you kill this kid first to sacrifice to the sky?"

Xiao Jinyan saw that the girl was so unreasonable, and said, "Hao Daiyou!"

The girl said, "Why don't you dare?"

Zuo Stan thought about the poison in himself and waved his hand, "It was the Oriental Holy Maiden who invited you here, right?" Forget it, I don't care about you, Boss Fan, please go and make another pot of tea." ”

After a while, Fan Wuchang took a pot of high crushed and poured a cup for Zuo Stan, just now the sea salt was in his mouth, and his mouth was bitter, and he couldn't detect the quality of the tea.

Fan Wuchang asked, "Is the tea delicious?" I have treasured the good tea for more than 20 years. ”

Zuostan grimaced, "Make do." ”

At this time, Dongfang Nuannuan walked in from outside the store, and when she saw everyone in the venue, her face sank, "Zuo Alliance Master, why are there only so many people?"

Zuo Stan was pinched by Dongfang Nuannuan, and even stood up, "The holy woman is angry, people are still on the way, and they must be coming soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, thirty or forty people came outside the door.

These people are old-fashioned, all dressed as countrymen, some with brooms, some carrying wonton burdens, and some with fried chestnuts with sugar.

Zostan frowned and glanced at his subordinates.

The subordinate hurriedly took a few steps back to the door.

Dongfang Nuan Nuan pretended to be displeased, "Who are these people?"

Zostan was afraid that she would blame herself for her incompetence, so she said, "Let me introduce you to the Holy Maiden." He pointed to the bald head holding the broom and said, "This is the sweeping monk of the Shaolin Temple's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion." ”

"This wonton seller is He Sanqi, the junior brother of the head of the Hengshan faction. ”

Zuo Stan laughed, "This is Grandma Xiong, who sells fried chestnuts with sugar!" He picked up a chestnut, peeled it off and put it in his mouth, "Grandma Xiong, today's fried chestnuts with sugar are not poisoned." ”

The old woman said, "Grandma is a bear, your sugar-fried chestnuts are poisoned! If it weren't for the fact that the kid bought me thirty pounds of chestnuts, I wouldn't hesitate to come!"

Zuo Stan looked embarrassed and casually introduced, "This cabbage seller is the leader of the cabbage gang, and the beggar is dressed as a bagless elder of the beggar gang, both of whom have been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time. ”

"Really?"

"Holy Maiden, you have not been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but you don't know the people in the rivers and lakes, and they are hidden in the city. He pointed at Xiao Jinyan, "You see, even the former martial arts alliance leader is here to serve tea and pour water." There is also the monk next to him, who is invincible at first glance. Believe it or not!"

Zostan said to Baolu, "Monk!"

Bao Lu said, "What are you doing?"

Zuo Tan said, "I have ten taels of silver here, and if you punch me, if you can defeat me, this piece of silver will be yours." ”

Bao Lu scratched his head and asked, "Is there such a good thing?"

"In the Lower Martial Arts Alliance, of course speaking. He made up his mind that if the monk came to fight, he would pretend that the other party's internal strength was strong, and then fall to the ground, try to make a painful gesture, and act like one, so as to get by.

Bao Lu came to him, "I really hit it." ”

Zuostan stood still, mobilized his internal force, and in an instant, his clothes rose without wind, and his whole body was swollen, obviously using his real skills.

The subordinate who was hiding at the door said in his heart that this monk was not hired by him, so don't be a goofy for a while.

Bao Lu threw a punch.

Zuostan flew backwards, smashed the door, and fell outside the door, Zuostan lay on the ground, only to feel that his chest was hit by a heavy hammer, and his true qi was disordered, and finally he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

He wanted to stand up, but he couldn't exert all his strength, and said to his subordinate, "Come and help me!"

The subordinate went over, picked him up, and whispered to Zuo Stan, "Alliance leader, you really act like you!"

Zostan just wanted to beat him up right now.

He secretly scolded in his heart, what kind of broken shop recommended by Li Zhengyi, even a running hall has such a high skill.

Back at the inn, Bao Luyi stretched out his hand, "Bring the silver." ”

Zostan made good on his promise and handed over the silver.

Bao Lu got the silver, rejoiced in his heart, and said, "One more punch, I'll give you a discount, only five taels!"

Zuo Stanxin said that there is another punch, you don't need to discount, my old bones are afraid that they are going to be fractured, and he refuses again and again, "There is no need for a good man." ”

Dongfang Nuannuan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, this monk does have some skills." The leader of the Left Alliance is not lightly injured. ”

"Do things for the saints, don't dare to be lazy. ”

Dongfang Nuan Nuan said: "Sit down and talk." ”

Zuostan was grateful, and went to the stool, tried it with his hand, and only sat down after making sure the stool was okay.

He saw Fan Wuchang snickering beside him, and shouted, "Why are you stunned, don't pour tea?"

Fan Wuchang came over with tea, poured him a cup, and then came to Dongfang Nuannuan's side and poured tea for her, "Girl, let's have a cup too." ”

Dongfang Nuannuan stood up, sideways avoidance, and said, "Thank you." ”

It was already noon, and seeing that there were only thirty or forty people coming to the martial arts conference of two hundred people, Fan Wuchang beat a drum in his heart and muttered in a low voice, "Thirty, eleven, three." ”

At this time, Li Zhengyi came to the inn, followed by a number of people in the rivers and lakes.

"Li Zhengyi of the Hall of Justice, led his fellow martial arts colleagues in Jiangnan to participate in the martial arts conference. ”

Zostan said unhappily, "Why did you come?"

"Something happened on the road and there was a delay. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone outside the door reported to the door.

"Jiangnan Ghost Gang, I came to the meeting and saw the Oriental Holy Maiden. ”

"Wuxi Wushuangmen Liu Changshui and his wife came to the meeting and met the Oriental Saintess. ”

For a while, everyone reported to their homes.

Zuo Stan thought to himself, although these sects are slightly famous in the rivers and lakes, and some of them are also famous masters, but they are all doing things in the green forest, and they are regarded as sideways, and they have been excluded from the martial arts alliance, how can they all come here today?

After thinking about it, it turned out that they were all coming for Dongfang Nuan.

Fan Wuchang continued, "Nineteen, twenty-three. ”

Xiao Jinyan saw him talking to himself, and said strangely, "What are you counting?"

Fan Wuchang said, "There are eighty-six people in total. ”

"So what?"

Fan Wuchang had a calm face, looked at more than 30 people coming to the door, and came to the door of the Xiaoyao Inn with more than a dozen food cabinets, and was the first to say, "Which one is Boss Fan?"

Xiao Jinyan pointed at Fan Wuchang, "This is." ”

"You ordered a meal for 200 people in the Drunken Immortal Residence, and we have been busy since last night, so we finally rushed to deliver the meal to you. ”

Fan Wuchang was cold, and said in a trembling voice, "Can you return one hundred and twenty copies?"

The man said, "In the past three days, Boss Fan has been staring at it every day, and we have pushed other businesses in Zuixianlou to prepare your meals here, and we can't explain to the owner if you say you will retreat." ”

Fan Wuchang was a little panicked, four hundred taels of silver, it was such a big business, who would have expected the person to come to be so unreliable, and muttered, "How is this good, how is this good?"

Xiao Jinyan was a little sympathetic to him.

Dongfang Nuan Nuan said, "No need to retreat, wait a little longer." ”

After another moment, I felt that the long street was crowded with people.

"The left and right protectors of the Bright God Sect, Zheng Yufei and Ren Pengju, came to the meeting and saw the Holy Maiden!"

"The four elders of the Light God Sect came to the meeting and met the Holy Maiden!"

All of a sudden, the left and right Dharma Protectors, the Four Great Elders, and the Eighteen Venerables, all of whom were members of the Light God Sect, arrived at the Xiaoyao Inn.

Back then, Yuwen Tianlu seized power, and the old people in the former sect either retired or were forced out of the mountain gate, and the rest of the forces were incorporated into the laughing hall by Yuwen Tianlu with the eight evil kings as the main force, and now Yuwen Tianlu has fallen, and these people have come out of the mountain one after another.

At this moment, I heard someone say: "The Eight Great Evil Kings of the Light God Sect are six, and the lawless Wu Fatian has come to the meeting and seen the Holy Maiden!"

"The Eight Great Evil Kings of the Light God Sect are five, with a human face and a ghost heart, and they have come to the meeting and have seen the Holy Maiden!"

In an instant, four more people came.

Among the eight evil kings, in addition to Yuwen Tianlu, the Blood Demon Shadow Sun Wuji was killed by Xiao Jinyan without a trace, Zhao Wouji disappeared in the territory of Western Chu, and four of the remaining five people came.

Zuo Stan secretly shouted in his heart, where is this martial arts conference, this is clearly an illegal gathering of the Demon Sect! Today's matter, if he spreads it out in the future, and the dignified martial arts alliance leader and the demon sect are mixed together, what can this alliance leader do in the future?

Do you want to notify the government?

But he is highly poisoned in his body, and his life is not guaranteed.

At this time, there was a humane outside the door, "The Eight Great Evil Kings of the Bright God Sect are eight, and the white-faced scholar Qi Chengwei came to the meeting and saw the Holy Maiden!"

Zuo Stan exclaimed in his heart, "Qi Chengwei, Suzhou prefect?"

Dongfang Nuannuan said lightly, "Governor Qi, among all the people, you are the closest, but you are the latest, and the shelf is not small." ”

Qi Chengwei bowed and said, "Today, the Divine Sect and the people in the rivers and lakes gathered at the Xiaoyao Inn, and the subordinates did not dare to slack off, so they sent people to close the street early in the morning, and only after the explanation was completed, did they dare to come over." Please forgive the Holy Maiden!"

Dongfang Nuannuan's expression softened slightly, and he said to everyone, "It's almost here, eat first." ”

?
