Chapter 37 Setting the Ring

While he was talking, a doorman hurriedly walked into the hall, wanting to stop talking. Yuan Xin said: "Just say something, the three of you are not outsiders!"

The man looked at Lan Jiuming and said, "Report to the sect master, General Zhou Lu sent someone to deliver a letter, he will go to Luoxia Island this afternoon!"

"What?" Yuan Xin was a little surprised, "What does it mean that King Dongming sent him here at this time?" he asked, "General Zhou came from that direction?"

"From the direction of Shenmu Island!"

"He went to Wang Hai first, no wonder Wang Hai withdrew first yesterday!" Yuan Xin thought for a moment in his heart, and instructed his subordinates, "Entertain the messenger and let him tell General Zhou, I will personally go to the dock to greet him!"

After the subordinates retreated, Yuan Xin turned his head to look at Lan Jiuming and said, "This General Zhou, it should be here to resolve the conflict, His Royal Highness King Dongming still can't rest assured that he is here!"

Lan Jiuming said: "I heard that General Zhou Lu can fight well, and his martial arts are strong, with him in charge, this conflict between the Yuan Sect Lord should be reasonably resolved!"

Yuan Xin waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple, don't talk about this, the banquet is ready, let's drink and chat!"

Wei Xiaoyue and Wei Xiaofeng followed Lan Jiuming into the seat, Yuan Xin's side was accompanied by Yuan Zilan, and several of his disciples, a few people were polite, only Yuan Zilan was still sulking, Lan Jiuming didn't care, still talking and laughing. During the banquet, Yuan Xin talked about the past of Xuanaxe Gate, and also mentioned the old chivalrous guest of the former head Zhong Wenzhong, "I have been displaced since I was a child, and it was my father-in-law who saved me, so I am today, if he is here, how dare Wang Hai be so arrogant?"

Lan Jiuming asked through the words, "Where is Old Chivalry Zhong now?"

Yuan Xin looked sad and sighed lightly: "My father-in-law went out a few years ago and never came back, except for leaving a letter for me to take over Xuanaxemen, there is no more word, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, it is really worrying!"

"Go out?" Lan Jiuming wondered in his heart, "How could Old Man Zhong give up everything and leave?" But he couldn't ask in person, so he could only echo casually, "Old Man Zhong has his own natural appearance, and Master Yuan doesn't have to worry too much!"

Yuan Xin nodded, raised his glass and said: "Wang Hai, these bandits are too domineering, and they are despised by the martial arts people, Yuan has been in conflict with Wang Hai for a long time for the stability of Naguze, I think the three young heroes have extraordinary temperament, and they must also be chivalrous, so Yuan begs the three to help me!"

Lan Jiuming got up and returned the salute and said, "Although the three of us have a skill, after all, we are still inexperienced, I am afraid that if we act recklessly, it will ruin the great affairs of the Yuan Sect Master!"

Yuan Xin said with a smile: "It's not a problem that you don't have much experience, the three of you have this martial art is enough, you have also seen it, His Royal Highness the King of Dongming sent General Zhou Lu over, most of them are to mediate the contradictions, he will not be biased to one side, so when the time comes, it will inevitably have a confrontation with Wang Hai, and the three of them will occupy Yuan's side at that time, after all, there are many people and great power!"

"This Yuan Sect Master rest assured, for the sake of Naguze's stability, we will not sit idly by!"

Yuan Xin was overjoyed when he saw Lan Jiuming say this, so he agreed to help, he frequently raised his glass and praised the chivalry of Lan Jiuming and the three of them, which made Yuan Zilan very unhappy, but his father was by his side, and he secretly swore in his heart: "Sooner or later, one day I will let these three guys suffer and leave Luoxia Island in disgrace!"

Lan Jiuming saw that the shadow of the sun was slanting westward, got up to say goodbye, and Yuan Xin sent it to the door and said, "Where are the three young heroes resting?"

Lan Jiuming didn't want to reveal too much, so he immediately said, "We booked a room at an inn on the outskirts of the city. ”

"Forgive Yuan for not being able to send it far away, Xuanaxe Gate welcomes the three of you to visit at any time!"

"Master Yuan is polite, farewell!"

Lan Jiuming and the three of them came out of the Xuanaxe Gate and wandered around the street for a while, Wei Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ming, why did you agree to help Yuan Xin?"

"We have made such a big fuss, we have already met Yuan Xin head-on, it is unlikely that we want to leave quietly, it is better to sell him a favor, and it will be convenient when the time comes!"

Wei Xiaoyue said: "Zhou Lu, a subordinate of King Dongming, has come to Luoxia Island, and we are so close to Xuanaxe Gate, I'm worried that something will happen!"

Lan Jiuming nodded and said, "Are you worried that Zhou Lu will recognize us?"

"Yes, we are all important criminals of King Dongming, if we are recognized by him, it will be very troublesome!"

Lan Jiuming's expression was serious, "How much do you know about Zhou Lu?"

Wei Xiaoyue said: "I have heard of Zhou Lu, his kung fu is first-class, he is especially good at charging, he is the general of the Phantom Legion, but he likes to kill, he especially likes to slaughter cities, and his hands are covered with blood!"

Lan Jiuming thought for a moment and said: "There is another reason why I promised Yuan Xin, there is another reason, the old man in front of the Xuan Axe Gate Zhong has a great favor to me, and I won't care if the Xuan Axe Gate really encounters difficulties, and I want to find out what happened to the old man Zhong and why he gave up everything and disappeared?"

"What do you think is wrong?"

"Well, one more thing, Zhou Lu's arrival is also an opportunity!"

"What chance?"

"He hasn't seen us, even if there will be a portrait of us in the army, it was five or six years ago, our appearance has changed a little in the past few years, he may not be able to recognize us, but if he recognizes us, we will take this opportunity to kill him, and also get rid of the old department in the south!"

When Wei Xiaofeng heard this, he came to his senses, as if Zhou Lu was right in front of him, "Whether he is out of us or not, we must kill him!"

Wei Xiaoyue was also a little excited in her heart, she didn't expect that the battle with King Dongming had already begun! She looked at Lan Jiuming and said sincerely: "Xiaofeng and I both listen to your arrangement!"

"Hmm!" Lan Jiuming thought for a moment and continued: "Zhou Lu's arrival is to mediate the contradictions between the two sides, and it is very likely that it will be in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes!"

"How to do the rules of the rivers and lakes?"

"Swing joust!"

Wei Xiaoyue said: "Yes, Zhou Lu went to Wang Hai first, and then came to Luoxia Island, it must be the intention of King Dongming, I guess Yuan Xin also expected this, that's why he asked us for help!"

Wei Xiaofeng's eyes widened, "Does he want us to help him fight?"

Wei Xiaoyue said with a smile: "He is very good, after today's incident, we just won't come to power, and we won't occupy Wang Hai's side, from this point of view, we are already helping him!"

"Luoxia Island is going to be lively these days, Wang Hai can live here for many years, presumably not a general, we have to pay close attention to all this!"

Lan Jiuming looked at the shadow on the ground, "It's not too early, let's find a place to stay, and make plans tomorrow!"

They found a humble inn to stay in, and they didn't say anything for the night. The next morning, the three of them got up for breakfast, and then wandered around the island. There were obviously more people on the street than yesterday, which was similar to what Lan Jiuming expected, and the forces of both sides were about to appear.

Nothing happened on this day, only one thing, a four-meter-high ring was set up in the square in the north of the city, and it seemed that it was really going to be a competition. The strange thing is that there is no Zhou Lu's army on the island, only the people of Xuanaxe Gate are coming and going to arrange the ring, and in the crowd, Lan Jiuming saw Yuan Zilan, who was chatting with a young man.

"Huh, such a high ring, if you are knocked down, you will definitely be injured!" Wei Xiaofeng is aggressive by nature, and he is inexplicably a little excited.

"Let's go for a walk elsewhere!" Lan Jiuming didn't want to be seen by Yuan Zilan, he knew that this girl had prejudices against them, so he was ready to leave.

Yuan Zilan still saw them, and Lan Jiuming didn't go far before she chased after her.

"Isn't this my family's honored guest?" Yuan Zilan's words were mocking.

"It turned out to be Miss Yuan. Lan Jiuming smiled politely, and after speaking, he didn't look at Yuan Zilan anymore, turned around and was about to leave!

Yuan Zilan was already angry, and when she saw Lan Jiuming despise herself so much, she was greatly annoyed, "You three stop!"

Wei Xiaofeng had a loud voice, "What else do you have to do?"

The young man who was with Yuan Zilan also stepped forward, "You kid, speak politely!"

Wei Xiao was even more vigorous, looked at this young man with sharp eyes, and said loudly: "Who are you?"

The young man actually had a smug look on his face, "Stinky boy, listen well, I'm the young master of the Huang Yue Sect, Ye Ke, get acquainted and go away, I'm in a good mood today, I don't have the same knowledge as you!"

"What kind of bullshit sect is Huang Yuemen?"

Ye Ke didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "How lonely and unheard of are the people in the mountains and fields, but they also said it in the past!"

Wei Xiaofeng was furious, stretched out his hand to hit Ye Ke, Lan Jiuming stopped him, and calmly looked at the young man in front of him, like Wei Xiaofeng, he had a handsome face, but unlike the arrogance in Wei Xiaofeng's bones, what appeared on his face was arrogance, and there was no one in his eyes.

Lan Jiuming could see that he had been spoiled since he was a child, and he believed that his family background was strong, and he had an exaggerated temperament between his gestures.

"Miss Yuan," Lan Jiuming chose to ignore Ye Ke, "Is there something wrong with you stopping us?"

"Can't I call you if it's okay?"

Yuan Zilan looked at Lan Jiuming's impatient appearance, and felt a little proud in her heart, "Have you seen this ring, there will be heroes from the rivers and lakes coming to compete in two days, the three of you can come to open your eyes, this kind of grand occasion is not something ordinary people can see!"

"Two days later?" Lan Jiuming asked, "Who are the people who came to fight?"

Yuan Zilan saw that Lan Jiuming was very attentive, and her expression was quite proud, "They are all big names with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, and there will be four sect masters in the Eighteen Sects to join forces with us to fight against Wang Hai!"

"It seems that the Xuan Axe Sect has a big face, and it can invite four sect masters to come and help!"

"Of course," Yuan Zilan was even more proud when she heard Lan Jiuming say this, "You may never have the chance to see this kind of scene in your life!"

Wei Xiaofeng's face was full of disdain, Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaoyue didn't care, "What about Wang Hai?" Lan Jiuming asked, "Who came over to fight?"

"Uh...... It's not clear!" Yuan Zilan's momentum weakened a little.

"Hmph, it's the same for whoever comes, I and Lan'er's axe and axe are combined, no one is an opponent!" Ye Ke took over on the side, Lan Jiuming was very uncomfortable seeing his arrogance, clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Yuan Zilan: "Miss Yuan, we will come to watch the battle in two days, farewell!"
