Li Qiufeng heard what Qingfeng Daoist said, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground. At this time, the heads of Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng, Songshan and other sects also stood up one after another and said goodbye to Sha Yiming.

When the Qingfeng Daoist revealed that someone was trying to provoke the conspiracy of various factions in the rivers and lakes to fight in the same room, Sha Yiming's face changed abruptly, and he was not as calm as he was at the beginning. It's just that at this time, he has regained his casual smile, and greets the heads of the various factions one by one, and does not stop them. Gold, Sun Ze, Yi Banzhen and others also returned to their respective seats. Some second- and third-rate gangs also got up and followed when they saw that the main sects were about to leave Shajiabao. It's just that the heads of these gangs are quite self-aware, knowing that with their status and martial arts in the rivers and lakes, they will not be taken seriously by Sha Yiming at all, so they left the table without even saying hello.

Li Qiufeng stood in the crowd behind Sun Ze, seeing that the Huashan faction and the Taihua faction were the first to leave, and then Kunlun, Emei and other sects also followed closely. In less than half an hour, there were only about 1,000 people left in the big house, which was originally crowded with more than 3,000 people. And none of the remaining gangs, except for the Taishan faction, can be called a decent family. Although the Yuqingzi and Guangzhi monks are known as the heads of the Wudang and Shaolin factions, Qunhao did not take these two people seriously.

Li Qiufeng was relieved to see Liu Yong out of danger, and thought to himself: "Since Mr. Liu has left Shajiabao, it is Yanwuji who challenges Sha Yiming, and it has nothing to do with Miss Murong, it is meaningless to stay in Shajiabao, it is better to get out as soon as possible." Thinking of this, he looked at the Taishan faction on the opposite side through the crowd, but saw that Xiao Zhanpeng was still hiding behind the disciples of the Taishan faction, and he could only see his hat, but he couldn't communicate with each other. Li Qiufeng had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

There was chaos in the big room for a while, and suddenly there was silence. Most of the remaining 1,000 people are small gangs in the rivers and lakes, and most of them belong to evil sects. Rao Shisha Yiming had a calm temperament, and at this time there was a trace of embarrassment on his face. Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "The surnamed Sha originally wanted to bring the heroes of the world, but in the end, only these small fish and shrimp were left, and if he wanted to hold any martial arts conference, he would not even think about it." Otherwise, the martial arts conference only came to these gangs, and it became a joke when it was spread. ”

At this time, I suddenly heard Zhuang Hengyun laugh and said: "Sand Castle Lord, it's been a long time, and everyone is hungry." Since you have come to Shajiabao today, this banquet, why don't you want to come to Shajiabao?"

Sha Yiming lowered his hands and stood solemnly, and said, "What Lord Zhuang commanded." The castle has long prepared a banquet for the heroes of the world. It's just that I originally wanted to invite the heroes to the table after Lord Zhuang gave a lecture, but now that Lord Zhuang has commanded, let's fill our stomachs first and then make plans. ”

Qunhao arrived at Hutou Rock, and first waited at the bottom of the mountain for a long time. The Jianghu high-rollers who first got the news and rushed to Hutou Rock have been waiting at the foot of the mountain for three days, relying only on dry food to survive, and the birds have faded out of their mouths. The rest of the gangs had descended from the mountain to the big house, and it had been most of the day, and they were all hungry. At this time, when I heard Sha Yiming say that everyone was invited to the table, they all smiled happily, some clapped their hands and cheered, and many people shouted.

Sha Yiming said loudly: "Originally, I wanted to ask Master Zhuang to speak to everyone in this room, because this room is not a place for eating and drinking. Since Master Zhuang doesn't say anything, please leave here with Sha. ”

After he finished speaking, he stood sideways and made a "please" gesture to Zhuang Hengyun. Zhuang Hengyun didn't shirk either, stood up, and walked outside the house with a smile, while Liu Sheng Zongyan followed closely behind Zhuang Hengyun with Zhu Ju and a killer. Sha Yiming let Monk Guangzhi and Yu Qingzi go up again, and then followed.

Li Qiufeng blended in the crowd and walked out with Sun Ze. He peeked at the Taishan faction as he walked, but saw that Guan Ping had also stood up, and led the Taishan faction people to follow behind Sun Ze and the others, and walked out unhurriedly.

When I got out of the big house, I saw that the sun was setting in the west outside, and it was almost dusk. When the leaders of the various factions entered the big house, most of them brought their cronies and disciples, and most of the disciples stayed in the courtyard. Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng once slipped out of the big house and saw that there were four or five thousand people crowded into the courtyard. It's just that when I got out of the big house at this time, I saw that there were only five or six hundred people standing in the courtyard, and the rest of the people in the rivers and lakes had already gone down the mountain. Li Qiufeng thought secretly in his heart: "Among the heroes of the rivers and lakes, there are still righteous people who account for the majority, so they naturally refuse to be bewitched by Sha Yiming and others. Fortunately, we were able to escape this catastrophe. Otherwise, if you stay in Shajiabao, you will be used by Sha Yiming, Liu Sheng Zongyan, Zhuang Hengyun and others, and I am afraid that there will be no good end. It's just that Sha Yiming, Liu Sheng Zongyan, and Zhuang Hengyun are colluding with each other or opposing each other, but they can't see it at the moment. ”

After everyone left the big house, there were Shajiabao's family members leading the way, all the way to the north. When Li Qiufeng was outside the fort, he didn't feel how big the scale of Shajiabao was. When I got into the fort and saw the lotus pond, I was already surprised that Shajiabao had such a scale. But at this time, as everyone walked north, they found that there was another world outside the big house.

After Li Qiufeng entered the Jinyi Guard errand, he underwent strict training. Discerning the terrain is a skill that Jinyiwei must learn. Li Qiufeng mixed in the crowd, and after walking dozens of feet, he had already roughly understood the regulations of Shajiabao. This Shajiabao sits on the north and faces south, on a ridge. The south gate is the gate where the heroes enter the fort, used to welcome guests, it seems to be commonplace, and there is no master to guard it, but Li Qiufeng knows that this kind of setting is just to confuse outsiders. The south gate of Shajiabao should actually be the bridge over the lotus pond. Once a foreign enemy invades, although you can easily pass through the south gate, but when you reach the lotus pond, you will inevitably be stopped by the pond water. Shajiabao will definitely have a mechanism in the pool to ambush the master and intercept the invading enemy. This lotus pond runs through the east and west, and after outsiders enter the south gate, they can only choose the wooden bridge on the lotus pond to pass through. If there is a master guarding the bridge, it is a master, and it is impossible to open it.

After the lotus pond, we arrived at the place of the white-walled and black-tiled buildings in Shajiabao, thinking that this is the place where Shajiabao lives, and the defense must be extremely tight. The big house where the wealthy gather is located on the east side of the building, and it is usually a place for gathering and discussing in Shajiabao. When I left the big house and walked north, it was a flat land, about fifty or sixty zhang wide from east to west, and there were high walls on both sides. According to the fact that Shajiabao is located on the ridge, it can be inferred that there must be a valley or abyss outside the wall, and it is difficult for foreign enemies to invade Shajiabao from both sides. Further on, you have reached the top of the mountain, and you can see a large platform in the distance. When I got closer, I found that this platform was not built by manpower, but made in heaven, but someone had slightly repaired it. The platform was roughly square, with a length and width of more than 30 zhang, much larger than the big house.

At this time, there were more than 300 large round tables on the platform, and more than a dozen chairs were placed next to each table. One hundred and ten servants in Tsing Yi were putting wine and food on the table. Sha Yiming led Zhuang Hengyun, Liu Sheng Zongyan, Monk Guangzhi, Yu Qingzi and others to sit at a table in the middle, and the other gangs were led by dozens of gray-clothed people, and they sat down in gangs. It's just that most of the group has left, and the remaining 2,000 people are only sitting at 100 tables at this time, and the other 1,200 tables are empty.

Li Qiufeng sat at a table with Yu Deshui, Ji Laosan and others, and saw that more than half of the tables were empty, Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Look at this appearance, Shajiabao's planning of this matter can definitely not be completed in ten days and half a month, even these tables and chairs in front of me will take a lot of time to prepare thoroughly." The Sha family received the emperor's grace, and if there was no great benefit, they would definitely not participate in the disputes in the rivers and lakes. I'm afraid that what Sha Yiming will say to challenge the Sha family is all a fabricated lie. ”

After everyone sat down, looking at the wine and fat chicken on the table, many people swallowed their saliva, and they couldn't wait to drink wine and eat meat immediately. Sha Yiming stood up, took a glass of wine in his right hand, and said loudly: "Friends from the rivers and lakes, it is really a blessing for us to come to Shajiabao today. Sha prepared a little thin wine, and here is the wind for all friends in the rivers and lakes. Today's heroes and heroes who stay in Shajiabao are friends of our fort, and I hope you will take care of them in the future. If you need our help from Shajiabao with anything, you don't have to be polite. ”

When he said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "It's just that Sha has to say it again, today's martial arts event, the person who presided over it is not Sha, but Lord Zhuang from the capital. Lord Zhuang brought the emperor's holy decree, and it happened that we were gathering in Shajiabao, so he came to the castle and brought a lot of wealth to everyone out of thin air. If this is done, everyone here will be rich, and everyone will be rich. If you want to be an official, you can be an official, and if you want to make a fortune, you can naturally return home with a piece of gold and silver to buy land and no longer live this life of licking blood. Sha doesn't know what you think, but even people like Sha who regard money as dung are also moved. Haha, haha. ”
