"Don't worry. Zhao Lanjiang put the wooden knife behind his back and said, "I don't have any thoughts about you, to be exact, I don't have thoughts about all men." ”

Everyone heard what Zhao Bajiang said, and some thought of Sun Shaoming's strange walking posture, and immediately understood what he meant, and burst into laughter.

Sun Shaoming only felt that countless eyes were pierced in his face like pins, and he was ashamed of himself, his fists clenched, and his heart was full of anger.

Zhao Lanjiang said again: "However, the Hundred Swords Gate owes us a hundred taels of silver, should you Imperial Sword Villa settle this money?"

Sun Shaoming was about to speak, but Steward Sun stopped him, "This brother, our Imperial Sword Mountain Dealer has a big business, and we will care about that little one hundred taels of silver, and then talk about the boat fare, then the boat family will ask for it, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Lanjiang took out a piece of paper seriously, "This is the silver owed to us by the boat family, they have no money, let's go to find the Hundred Knife Gate, the Hundred Knife Gate was killed by you, we have to look for you." ”

Steward Sun smiled and said to everyone, "All of you here today are heroes and heroes in the world, and there is such a truth in the world, but I have opened my eyes, why don't all the people here come to judge and judge?"

Zhao Baojiang said, "The fist is the truth." ”

Steward Sun said again, "I'm afraid you are not an opponent than your fists." This friend, you have made things difficult for our villa several times, I'm afraid someone is behind the scenes, and ask the person in charge to come out, otherwise it will ......"

"Otherwise what?"

Steward Sun said: "Our Imperial Sword Villa convinces people with virtue, meets friends with martial arts, friends come with honey wine, enemies come with swords, you are so unreasonable, we have to see the truth under our hands." ”

While speaking, several guests from the Imperial Sword Villa had already come to the infield, isolated a few people from the crowd, and slowly moved closer to the middle.

Edgeworth Villa is also a big faction in the rivers and lakes, because of the weapons business, there is a lot of silver, and there are many heroes and heroes who come to take refuge. Sun Qiangu is very ambitious, and the people who come to take refuge only look at martial arts, not character, and many of the guests who come to take refuge are evil men in the rivers and lakes in the past.

Although Sun Qiangu's martial arts are high, unless it is related to the survival of the villa, or a master who matches his identity in the rivers and lakes, he rarely takes action in person for this kind of daily affairs.

At today's sword appreciation conference, in order to prevent someone from having an incident, the villa invited the guest who was offered in the villa in advance. These guests are provided by the mountain villa for eating, drinking, and merrymaking on weekdays, and they have a monthly salary to be paid, which is precisely to cope with this kind of occasion.

Xiao Jinyan has always paid attention to the situation in the field, these more than ten guest qing, there is one half-step through the Xiang Realm, as well as three Great Knowledgeable Xuanjing, three Zhixuan Realm, and the most poor martial arts are also Zhixuan Middle Realm. If they really fight, I'm afraid they will still suffer.

The only way is to create some chaos, fish in troubled waters, and take the opportunity to get out. Thinking of this, he pretended to talk to Li Tingcheng, but his voice raised a lot.

"Strange, weird, Brother Allure, what day is today?"

Li Chengcheng didn't know what he meant, but the two cooperated tacitly, and said casually, "You don't know this, today is the sword appreciation conference!"

"Since it's a sword appreciation conference, do you see that all the heroes present have swords pinned to their waists?"

"Nonsense, don't bring a sword, reward a sword with wool!"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "I don't understand, so many people enter the villa, but they don't abide by the rules of the villa, and take the sword off, do they have ideas about the villa." ”

Sun Shaoming said angrily, "Fart, we don't have this rule in the villa." ”

Xiao Jinyan was happy and pointed to the plaque on the door, "If there is no such rule, what is it called Sword Removal Villa?"

Everyone looked up, and the four gilded characters of "Yujian Mountain Village" on the golden silk nanmu plaque became "Unloading Sword Mountain Village" at some point, and the word "彳" was missing.

"Unloading Sword Villa! haha!"

"Brother Tai, did you unload your sword today?"

Steward Sun's face turned pale, and he looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Who did it?"

Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "How do I know, it is estimated that Guishanzhuang has done something unseemly, that person feels dishonorable, so let's leave by myself." ”

Suddenly, among the guests, an iron pellet popped out in his hand and shot at the big plaque, hitting a green tile on the right side of the plaque, and the iron pellet refracted an angle and shot behind the plaque.

Ouch!

Poof!

A figure fell from behind the plaque, it was the young man named Jin Buchang, the young man covered his buttocks and scolded, "Which bastard beat the master!"

With a snap, the word "彳" fell from the boy's arms to the ground.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the young man smiled, "Everyone is here!"

Steward Sun's face turned pale.

Jin Buchang said: "Don't worry, I can explain this matter." Here's the thing, just now I looked up, I saw the double of the word 'royal' in the sword villa, a little crooked, I thought that today is a big day in the villa, let others see it is not ashamed, so I went up with a public heart, I want to help straighten it out, who thinks, I touched this '彳', it actually fell into my arms, I don't want to take it out, I am about to be winter, it's cold, I agree to let it warm up in my arms for a while. Anyway, that's the case, believe it or not? I believe it anyway. ”

Steward Sun said, "Believe you big-headed ghost, arrest this little thief for me." ”

Jin Buchang waved his hand and said, "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who steal less than one or two pieces of silver are not considered thieves! I don't mean you, our villa has a history of hundreds of years, and even to make a plaque, I am reluctant to use pure gold, get an old elm to play with some gold powder, and it will be used as a gold plaque, and I feel ashamed to spread it to the rivers and lakes!"

As he spoke, he threw the "tong" on the ground, knocking off some of the gold dust, revealing the corners of the elm.

Sun Shaoming looked at Steward Sun with a puzzled expression, "Steward, this plaque cost three hundred taels of gold in the villa, doesn't it mean that it is built with pure gold?"

Steward Sun's face was blue and white for a while, this plaque cost three hundred taels of gold, but he estimated that the actual gold was only a few dozen taels, so he kept two hundred taels and gave the remaining one hundred taels to his brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law deducted fifty taels and subcontracted out the work, three turns and two turns, and only five taels were left in the hands of the craftsman. How much money did he do, and the craftsman carved words with elm wood, and spent three taels of silver to buy a thick layer of gold stucco and paint it with a thick layer, and it became what it is now.

"This ...... That ......," Steward Sun said, "probably because the gold has become fine...... Don't believe it, there is such a record in "Sou Shen Ji...... That ......"

Jin Buchang said with a smile, "Gold has become fine, you can really make it up!"

Steward Sun glared, "If he doesn't become a sperm, he will feel cold, why would he run into your arms and not come out?"

Jin Buchang spread his hands at everyone, "You see I'm not lying!"

Sun Shaoming shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, take down these troublemakers for me, this young master will be rewarded!"

Several guest secretaries were already impatiently waiting, today was the sword appreciation conference, and they were busy showing themselves in front of their own family, so they drew their blades and surrounded the four of them.

Jin Buchang was shocked, and even said no, panicked, and hid in Tibet. Seeing this, a big man stretched out his hand to grab his hair, but as soon as he grabbed it, the big man sighed, and quickly withdrew his hand, and a silver needle was inserted in his palm.

This guy is a big ghost, his steps seem to be disorderly, but his body is like a loach, slippery, and the three guests have nothing to do with him.

Xiao Jinyan took the opportunity to escape into the crowd, only defending and not attacking, those guests hurt other guests, and it was inevitable that they would have some scruples.

There was a mess in the venue.

Suddenly, a loud shout said, "Stop it all!"

This sound exploded in everyone's ears like a scorching thunder, and everyone was shocked and stopped.

I saw Sun Qiangu walking out of the Hall of Famous Words, followed by the masters of the Eight Great Sects.

Previously, in the Hall of Famous Sword, after waiting for the Eight Great Sects to arrive, Sun Qiangu proposed to merge the Imperial Sword Villa into the Eight Major Sects, and from then on, the rivers and lakes were changed from the Eight Great Sects to the Nine Great Sects.

This is the real purpose of this year's sword appreciation conference, and for this, Sun Qiangu gave a lot of conditions.

First, the Imperial Sword Villa spends 800,000 taels of silver every year as funds for the public activities of the Nine Great Sects. After all, the Eight Great Sects are not all like Wudang and Shaolin, with big families and deep pockets. Sects like Wudang and Shaolin have private fields rewarded by the imperial court, and there are donations from fellow teachers every year, and they can even recruit some lay disciples to supplement their funds, so they are not financially worried. However, such as Kongtong, a sect with a remote location, or a sect with a majority of female disciples in Emei, although it is famous, but its gold-making ability is weak, and the disciples of these sects are very hard, such as Li Qianjue of the Emei faction, the monthly money is not enough to even buy a decent set of rouge. Sun Qiangu's proposal was immediately approved by the three factions of Kongtong, Emei, and Kunlun.

Second, the Imperial Sword Villa presents ten top-level famous swords to the remaining eight major sects every year, and provides lifelong free maintenance and replacement but not repair services. Edgeworth Lodge is famous for its swords, and their swords are well recognized in the rivers and lakes. There are many of the eight major schools to practice swords, such as Qingcheng, Tianshan, Emei, etc., Taoist magic weapons, although the instrument is at the end, but there is a sword that sharpens iron like clay, walking the rivers and lakes can still take a lot of advantage, at least with the opponent of the same level, you can rely on the advantage of the blade, make some moves that you usually dare not make, so as to take the lead.

Third, Yujian Villa does not covet the martial arts of various sects, and in line with the principle of "sharing economy", it agrees to take out the martial arts cheats of the villa and share them, even including the top secret martial arts of the villa, and is also willing to accept the disciples of all sects to come to the villa for training, during which the carriage and horse fees are all included, and there are also a lot of subsidies and so on.

These three conditions seem to have suffered a big loss in order to merge into the Nine Great Sects. But Sun Qiangu has his own wishful thinking.

Once the Eight Great Sects accepted the conditions of the Imperial Sword Villa, received benefits from the Villa every year, and formed a habit, they took it for granted. In this way, the Imperial Sword Villa will have the right to speak among the nine major sects in the future, especially when it comes to the interests of several sects, even if it is used to stand in line, it will also choose the Imperial Sword Villa.

This is one of them.

After the merger of the Imperial Sword Villa into the Nine Great Sects, both the prestige of the martial arts and the status of the rivers and lakes will inevitably increase a lot. The benefits brought to the lodge by this change are far beyond the monetary measure. This will inevitably attract the attachment of some small and medium-sized sects and third- and fourth-rate sects.

Don't look at this kind of small sect is inconspicuous in the rivers and lakes, they are the most basic units in the rivers and lakes. Small sects like the Haisha Gang and the Jiangliu Gang seem to have a very low status, but the business is hugely profitable. For example, the Shanshui Hall in Jiujiang City has the secret support of the Light God Sect behind it. Even a group of rabble in Shuanglong Mountain, Yangzhou, broke the mountain of robbing houses and houses, and finally involved a laughing hall. is really a third- or fourth-rate sect with no background, no backing, and making money, and has long been swallowed by the gate faction.

Sun Qiangu was an ambitious person, and merging into the Eight Great Sects was only the first step in his plan, not to mention, there were even more powerful people behind him who were supporting him. If the matter of "sharing martial arts" can really be achieved, and there are a few masters outside the three realms on the rivers and lakes, wouldn't it be a great achievement for Shujian Mountain?

This is the second one.

Of course, among the eight major factions, the Wudang Shaolin faction is the most difficult to handle. The clues can be seen from the people they sent to participate in the sword appreciation meeting. But what kind of person is Sun Qiangu, how can he fall short after he has endured it for so long?

The Wudang faction Shilin Daoist is the candidate for the head of the sect, and the Wudang faction was originally prepared to veto, as one of the leaders of the martial arts, without the consent of Wudang, even if he joins the nine major sects, it will be difficult to make the trip. Sun Qiangu communicated with Daoist Shilin in private, and presented a bottle of "Stretching Legs and Staring Pills", and the matter was over. This is an extremely powerful chronic 'poison, after taking it, people will accelerate aging, within three years or two years, they will stretch out their legs and stare at the eyes, and outsiders can not see any clues, thinking that it is a natural death.

Sun Qiangu took out the documents that had been prepared long ago, and the people of the seven major sects all signed and signed on them.

Among the eight major sects, the only one who didn't get it was Elder Foguang of the Shaolin faction, an elder who had been practicing Tongzigong for seventy years, and when he heard that Sun Qiangu had prepared a pair of stunning beauties for him, he fainted in excitement.

Sun Qiangu took the hand of Elder Foguang and left a handprint at the Shaolin opinion, so that the eight major sects were renamed the nine major sects, and the dust settled. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, this matter must be announced in front of fellow people in the rivers and lakes, and it must be published in Xiaosheng Jianghu and Gossip Weekly before it can be officially effective.

Xiaosheng Jianghu and Gossip Weekly have already received the money, and only the official announcement is left, as long as the people present do not object, then this matter is a certainty. Of course, if the people present object, after the killing, this matter is also a certainty.

Originally, there was an old man like Steward Sun to maintain order outside, and there were six disciples and more than a dozen guest kings, I thought that everyone was waiting for it, but after who expected it, when I saw the scene in a mess, even the words "Imperial Sword Villa" became "Unloading Sword Villa", and I couldn't help but be angry, and a thunderclap roared to stop everyone.

"Steward Sun, the person who came is a guest, is this how our Imperial Sword Villa treats guests?" he couldn't blame the others, so he could only take his anger out on Steward Sun. Steward Sun is a century-old man, how could he not understand the stakes, and even bowed down to ask for the guilt, "It's a small one that has not been arranged, which makes the owner angry, and please punish him." ”

"Punish you for half a year, and after a while, the guests present will each give a nine-generation sword, which will be regarded as an apology. ”

When everyone here heard this, they applauded. Although it is only a ninth-generation sword, it can be regarded as a top-grade famous sword in the rivers and lakes, and the master of a village is really extraordinary.

Hearing someone's yin and yang strange aura, "There are obviously ten generations of swords, but the outdated nine generations of swords, Master Sun Zhuang is inevitably too stingy, right?"

The person who spoke was none other than Jin Buchang.

Sun Qiangu said in his heart that he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, gritted his teeth, and said directly, "Yes, I didn't think it through, and each person has a tenth-generation sword." ”

He glanced up at the four-character gold plaque of "Unloading Sword Villa", frowned slightly, pulled out the mountain-shaking sword at his waist, and came to a boulder more than one person high in the field, and split it out with a sword.

Boom.

The boulder is split into two, and the cut surface is as smooth as a mirror.

Everyone shouted: "Good sword, good kung fu!"

Sun Qiangu used the sword with qi, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced on the boulder, and suddenly, the wind and sand in the field were great, the stone chips flew wildly, and when the sword was collected, a line of words was written on each of the two boulders.

The first on the left is: "The first village in the world";

The first one on the right is: "Edgeworth".

Sun Qiangu slapped his hands on the boulder, and the two stones flew towards the top of the Hanging Sword Hall and landed on the roof, blocking the plaque of "Unloading Sword Villa".

Showing this hand, even the people of the Eight Great Sects were amazed. The stone forest Taoist praised, "The owner of the village is good kung fu!"

Sun Qiangu smiled slightly, unimpressed. He said loudly: "It is really an honor for you to come to the sword appreciation conference today, and today Sun has two things to announce. First, after today's gift of the sword, the ten-generation sword will be discontinued, that is to say, the ten-generation sword in your hands today will be a great sound. Edgeworth Lodge will develop better, faster, and stronger swords to the market. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were surging, and the tenth-generation sword that was about to arrive in a while would inevitably trigger a series of robberies on the rivers and lakes.

When Steward Sun heard this, he secretly praised the owner of the village for his wisdom.

There are flaws in the research and development of the tenth-generation sword this time, it was supposed to be destroyed, after Sun Qiangu's words, the price of this sword will inevitably be raised, you must know that there are still more than a thousand in the warehouse, and when the time comes, it will flow into the black market, and it will inevitably be a large amount of silver.

Sun Qiangu waited for everyone to cheer, and said, "This second thing is that after the martial arts colleagues have been discussing, my Imperial Sword Villa has been merged into the Eight Great Sects, and from then on, there are no Eight Great Sects on the rivers and lakes, only the Nine Great Sects." My nine major sects, with the same spirit, one glory and one loss, will jointly uphold the justice of the rivers and lakes!"

Although this news has been circulating in the market for a long time, today's official announcement is still a bit shocking, and everyone is silent.

Sun Qiangu wanted this effect, he said loudly, "There are heroes with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes here, if you feel that this matter is a little inappropriate, please stand up and speak!"

This is just a formality, he waved his hand at Steward Sun, who had arrived outside the gate of the villa, where fireworks and firecrackers had already been prepared, as long as the signal was sent inside, the bells and drums sounded in unison, and the village was happy.

Mr. Tarzan stood up.

This is something Sun Qiangu didn't expect, his face sank, "Does the Taishan faction have an opinion on this matter?"

Mr. Rufeng smiled, "Master Sun Zhuang is famous in the martial arts, of course I don't dare to have an opinion, I just think that the nine major sects are more difficult to say, since you want to change, why not change to the ten major sects?"

There was a loud hula.

The wooden rafters on the Hanging Sword Hall did not support the pressure of the two boulders sent by Sun Qiangu, and they broke with a bang.

Outside the door, a signal was heard from inside, and for a while, bells and drums rang out in unison, and firecrackers rang out. caused consternation among everyone present.

Steward Sun ordered someone to light the firecrackers, and was about to come to the Hanging Sword Hall to ask for credit, when he saw that the Hanging Sword Hall had collapsed, Sun Qiangu had a dusty face, his face was pale, and he confronted the head of the Taishan faction, and said bad things in his heart, and if he stayed any longer, even the matter of the Hanging Sword Hall was shaken out, and he even went home to clean up the gold and silver, and took advantage of Sun Qiangu's lack of effort to take care of him, and slipped away.
