c_t();? Liu Yong saw that Guan Ping was coughing constantly, and his face was in pain, so he hurriedly rushed forward and stretched out his hand to support Guan Ping.

Guan Ping lightly covered his mouth with his right hand, then put his hands in his sleeves, arched his hand at Liu Yong and the others, and said: "Guan is riddled with evil diseases and has lost his manners, please don't laugh." ”

Liu Yong and others returned the salute one after another and said a few words of humility. It's just that these people are all big masters, and when they saw Guan Ping covering his mouth, he held a white silk in his right hand, and gently covered his mouth, and when he took it away, the white silk was already dyed a lot of red, and when he coughed just now, he had already coughed up blood. When I think of this, my heart is full of joy.

Li Qiufeng saw the heads of the various factions greeting Guan Ping, and inadvertently looked at the people behind Guan Ping. I saw that these more than ten people were all wearing black robes, and they were all Guan Ping's disciples. Most of these people are in their twenties, and some of them have vague steps, and several have bruises on their faces. It's just that when he saw the last person, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but be shocked.

I saw that the man was wearing a deep hat, dressed in black, and holding a long sword with a very wide sheath in his right hand. Although he couldn't see this person's face clearly at this time, the sword was quite familiar.

This long sword is the long sword used by Xiao Zhanpeng, and the sword body is far wider than the long sword used by people in the rivers and lakes. This is because the Xiao family's Wind and Thunder Sword Technique is strong and fierce, and it is necessary to use this broad-bladed long sword to use the fierce momentum of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique.

Li Qiufeng looked at this person carefully, but saw that this person inadvertently raised his head, and was taking a face with Li Qiufeng, who was it not Xiao Zhanpeng?

When Xiao Zhanpeng saw Li Qiufeng, he was also slightly stunned. Li Qiufeng gently pulled down the gray cloth covering his face with his right hand, revealing half of his face. Xiao Zhanpeng's face changed, revealing a look of surprise. Li Qiufeng hurriedly glanced at him, and pulled the gray cloth upward, covering most of his face.

Xiao Zhanpeng knew that Li Qiufeng wanted to hide his identity, so he didn't care, but he nodded slightly and turned his head again.

The seat of the Taishan faction is at the head of the Huashan faction. After Guan Ping exchanged a few words with several heads, the gray-clothed man led Guan Ping to his seat and sat down. Only then did Li Qiufeng realize that the seats of the various factions of the righteous path were all on the right side of the big house, and the seats on the left side were all the seats of some evil sect masters and green forest figures, and the two sides were clearly distinguished, so it could be seen that Shajiabao had also spent a lot of effort on the arrangement of this seat. is also so attentive in the subtleties, it can be seen that the plot must be an earth-shattering event. In the row of tables and chairs on the right, the Tarzan faction sat at the third table, but behind the first and second tables was empty. The chairs behind the first table and the second table on the left side were also empty, and behind the third table sat Lu Heng, the head of the Eagle Claw Gate, and behind the fourth table sat Sun Ze.

I saw that the first two tables on the left and right sides were always empty. Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Look at Shajiabao's arrangement, the seats are arranged according to the fame, status and martial arts of each gang in the rivers and lakes. The Taishan faction is in the rivers and lakes, and in terms of name, it is only slightly lower than Shaolin and Wudang, and it is on a par with Huashan, Songshan and other gangs. Could it be that these first two tables are reserved for the two major sects of Shaolin and Wudang?"

As he was thinking, more than a dozen gangs arrived. Li Qiufeng saw Xiao Zhanpeng standing opposite, glanced at him, and motioned for him to go out to talk. Li Qiufeng looked left and right, and saw that everyone didn't care, so he quietly walked out against the wall. At this time, the big house was noisy, and there were more than 1,000 people crowded. Li Qiufeng was just an ordinary man following Sun Ze, so naturally no one paid attention to his whereabouts.

When he walked out of the big house, he saw that there were two or three thousand people crowded into the originally empty courtyard. It was because of the limited space in the big house, and the leaders of the various gangs only brought their cronies in, and the other disciples had to wait in the courtyard. Most of these Jianghu men are rough people, who know what etiquette, laughing and noisy in the courtyard, and have no scruples. It is full of human voices and chaos.

Li Qiufeng stood at the door for a moment, but saw Xiao Zhanpeng also quietly walked out. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then walked to the right side of the courtyard as if nothing had happened. But here it is a meadow, planted with more than a dozen flowers and trees. At this time, it is late autumn, and the leaves on the flowers and trees have fallen clean. The crowd was crowded in front of the big house, but the grass was empty.

The two walked under a flower tree, and seeing that there was no one around, Li Qiufeng pulled down the cloth strip on his face and said to Xiao Zhanpeng: "Brother Xiao, why did you get here?"

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Soon after you left, more than a dozen gray-clothed people came down the slope, claiming to be members of Shajiabao's family, and wanted to invite all the heroes to Shajiabao to talk about it." The first to be invited were Kunlun, Qingcheng, Songshan and other sects, and then people from Shajiabao continued to come to invite. Some sects were afraid and did not dare to go to Shajiabao, but those gray-clothed people were not reluctant. I listened to Brother Li's instructions and waited at the bottom of the mountain, not wanting to go to Shajiabao. It was only later that the head of the Taishan faction arrived, and he had a good relationship with his father and took good care of Xiao. He recognized Xiao and immediately invited Xiao to accompany him. I thought I could enter Shajiabao with him, but I could also hear a lot of news, so I followed him to the fort, and I didn't expect you to come here, Brother Li. ”

Li Qiufeng briefly explained the situation after the two of them parted, and finally said: "Have all the gangs under the mountain gone up the mountain?"

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Although some people have slipped away, most of them have already arrived, and there are three or four thousand people. Brother Li, this matter is quite strange. We originally thought that it was Miss Murong who challenged Sha Yiming, which attracted so many characters from the rivers and lakes to come to watch. It's just that now it seems that this matter is not so simple......"

Li Qiufeng said: "What is Brother Xiao's opinion?"

Xiao Zhanpeng smiled slightly and said, "I can't talk about it." Brother Li might as well think about it, after we left the imperial tomb, we passed through the battle of Yong'an City, and then arrived here, and it was only ten days. However, among the gangs at the foot of the mountain, some are from Lingnan and some are from Qinghai, and even if these people take a fast horse, it will take at least half a month to arrive here. It can be seen that the people who summoned Qunhao to come here must have had a plan, not that they had the idea of summoning Qunhao here after we escaped from the imperial tomb. When Xiao was at the bottom of the mountain, he asked Guan Ping, the head of the Taishan faction, Guan Shishu, but he didn't say it deeply, but only mentioned that someone invited him to Shajiabao to discuss important matters, and did not mention the martial arts competition. After they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they heard that someone was going to challenge Sha Yiming. According to Xiao's opinion, most of the heroes who came here did not come to watch this duel, but were invited at least more than a month ago to come to Shajiabao. As for those who escaped from the Imperial Tomb and Yong'an City with us, they only heard about this duel and rushed here. Otherwise, they were almost enclosed in the underworld, and they were under siege in Yong'an City, and they finally escaped, so how could they be willing to risk their lives to get here? Thinking that the master behind them was unwilling to let Qunhao escape from Yong'an City, he made up a rumor that a mysterious master challenged Sha Yiming, attracting Qunhao to Shajiabao. ”

Li Qiufeng listened to Xiao Zhanpeng's meticulous analysis, and couldn't help nodding and laughing: "Brother Xiao is high, Li Mou's mouth is open." Things are probably as Brother Xiao said. The Lord made that man plan so carefully and arrange it seamlessly, and he is a great force in the rivers and lakes. Li thought that he was afraid that it was still Yanagi Zongyan who was making trouble behind his back. ”

Xiao Zhanpeng nodded and said, "It seems that luring Qunhao into the imperial tomb is just one of the means of Liu Sheng Zongyan. The meeting of Shajiabao was also planned by him a long time ago. Thinking back to more than ten years ago, Liu Sheng Zongyan designed to let the masters of Jinyiwei and Dongchang lead the group of heroes to enter the tomb of King Xingxian, and they were also divided into several teams, and they were silent with each other, which was exactly the same as the means he used to lure the group to enter the imperial tomb and participate in the meeting of Shajiabao this time. He arranged it this way, on the one hand, to disperse the group of heroes, so that it was easy to break each one. On the other hand, it can also be provoked from it and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Li Qiufeng was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yanagi Zongyan wants to disperse the heroes, this is not difficult to understand. It's just that he provoked it and took advantage of the fisherman, but Li Mou hadn't seen it yet. ”

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "Although Uncle Guan Shi didn't tell me the details, I looked at his appearance as if he was seriously injured, so as to keep an eye on him. On the way up the mountain, I was chatting with one of his disciples, and he said that he had slipped out. It turned out that half a year ago, the five elders of Mount Tai suddenly attacked, took Guan Shishu and his disciples all, and locked them in a very secret cave in Mount Tai's Heavenly Candle Peak. It's just that the master's token, the Moyu Sword, has not been found, and the five elders of Mount Tai still dare not kill Uncle Guan Shi. Half a month ago, a mysterious master suddenly rescued Uncle Guan Shishu and others and escorted them all the way here. These people promised Uncle Guan Shi that they would help him get rid of the five elders of Taishan and control the Taishan faction. Brother Li, these people took advantage of the internal strife of the Taishan faction to invite Uncle Guan Shi here, but they may not have any good intentions. ”
