"Under Chen Jinke, the seventeenth generation disciple of the Kongtong Sect, Your Excellency is ...... Oh, I've admired the name for a long time, it's an honor to see it today, please go inside, Uncle Fan has been waiting for a long time. ”

Chen Jinke is not an ordinary family member of Xiao Wangfu today, he changed his clothes, restored his identity as a disciple of the Kongtong faction, and stood at the door of the mansion to receive the people from the rivers and lakes of the capital who came to the door one after another.

This mansion is the foothold of the Kongtong faction in the capital, not big, but the location is excellent, surrounded by the mansions of the princes and nobles, and the Xiao Wangfu is only one street away, no one will despise it.

Standing at the gate, Chen Jinke felt like he was a head taller, and deeply understood the boundary between the rivers and lakes and the court: in Xiao Wangfu, even the uncle belonged to the servants at the bottom, and he was not even qualified to meet outsiders, but here, he was a disciple of the Kongtong faction, and there was no shortage of officials from the court and the central government who were invited to the door, but at this time, they all bowed to him according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.

Chen Jinke cherished this opportunity very much, and did everything possible to make the other party have an impression of himself, the sect provided the foundation of friendship between the rivers and lakes, but it still takes his own efforts to use this foundation well.

He had received the guidance of his uncle in advance, and he already knew who would come to the door today, knowing who to invite in, who needed to be accompanied by himself, and who must immediately notify the uncle in the house and give him higher courtesy.

But Fan Yongda didn't make things completely clear, and Chen Jinke had deep doubts in his heart: looking at Uncle Shi's posture, he invited more than 30 of the most well-known Jianghu figures in the capital at once, which clearly meant to "attack the Dragon King in groups", which did not match King Xiao's request to "have a good talk".

Chen Jinke regarded this as an exam question, hoping to find out the truth with his own cleverness, so he carefully observed and did not let go of any clues.

First of all, he found that today's guests are complex, seven of the nine major sects have sent representatives, the leaders of eleven gangs and the chief dart heads of the three most well-known dart bureaus in the capital are personally present, and there are also several well-known high-rollers, although there are no doors and no factions, they are very good at both black and white, one of them refuses to give his name, Chen Jinke suspects that this person is a thief wanted by the government for a bounty.

Secondly, not everyone knew the purpose of this gathering, many guests knew no more about the "Dragon King" than Chen Jinke, and asked each other as soon as they entered the door, but they were still invited to come, and they were polite to Fan, but they did not ask him for answers.

Until Cheng Yi and Cheng Jiuye came to the door, Chen Jinchun finally solved a doubt in his heart: it turned out that Uncle Shi also had to borrow other people's face.

Cheng Jiuye has neither a prominent family background, nor a famous faction as a backer, claiming to be a cloth cloth, but he is the most well-known cloth cloth in the world, known as "the king of sacrifice".

If you talk about his greatest ability, that is, he knows all over the world, and the most commendable thing is that he does not have any sectarian roots, from making friends with street gangsters in his teens, to entering and leaving the government in his thirties, and calling the heads of major factions brothers, the whole process is almost all on his own.

Such a character is simply Chen Jinke's idol.

But when Cheng Jiuye walked to the door, Chen Jinke almost didn't recognize him.

It was an old man in his fifties, of medium stature, not good-looking, cloth clothes and shoes, neither a chariot nor a horse, nor a hug from front to back, and when he walked, he lowered his head slightly, like a bookkeeper who had just come out of the shop, and was still calculating the accounts of the day in his heart.

Chen Jinke stepped forward very cautiously to greet this inconspicuous guest, and asked with his hand, not rude, "Under Chen Jinke, the seventeenth generation of the Kongtong faction ......"

The old man smiled, did not answer, and walked straight into the courtyard.

Chen Jinke was just about to catch up and stop him, but he happened to see his uncle Fan running briskly from inside, and immediately guessed that this person had an extraordinary background, so he hurried a few steps and respectfully guided in front.

"Cheng Jiuye, long time no see......" Fan bent down with a big waist, doing the courtesy of a junior, but his voice was enthusiastic, as if the two had been friends for many years.

Cheng Jiuye took a step forward, helped Fan Yongda with both hands, and said with a smile: "No, the old crane fairy is okay? I heard that the immortal body of the child was not safe a few days ago, and I still remember it." ”

"The head is fine, and the ginseng sent by the Ninth Master has helped a lot......"

The head of the Kongtong faction, the Dao name Zihe Zhenren, has not appeared for many years, and Chen Jinke, as a disciple of the seventeenth generation, has never seen him.

As soon as Cheng Yi arrived, everyone was all together, and Fan Yongda signaled his nephew to close the door.

There is no more attention to the party in the rivers and lakes, it is more complicated than the nobles of the family, there are many famous halls just by arranging the seats, Fan Yongda is not at ease to hand over to others, and he personally goes into battle, and the guests are indispensable to humble each other, and finally sit down according to the meaning of Fan Yongda.

Fan Yongda insisted on letting Cheng Jiuye sit in the main seat, and he sat with him, and then the guests came up to meet one by one, Cheng Yi showed his true ability, more than 30 guests, his attitude towards each one was different, or cordial, or praised, in a few words, the other party's teacher history, recent outstanding deeds clearly said, as if he had been concerned about it for a long time, and there was no perfunctory contempt, but he did not lose his identity.

Chen Jinke guarded the door of the hall, heard and witnessed, admired and threw himself to the ground, thinking that no matter how different the so-called "Dragon King" was, it was really stupid to come to the capital to make trouble, and it was not only King Xiao who offended, but the entire Central Plains.

The process of visiting lasted for nearly half an hour, and it looked boring and boring, but Chen Jinke regarded it as a great learning opportunity, and judged each guest according to their handling style, for example, he found that the Qingcheng faction was still quite estranged from his own sect, and although the disciples who were invited to come showed that they had been courteous for several weeks, they did not mention any of the elders of the two factions.

The elders of the sect are like a password for the communication of the rivers and lakes, and Cheng Jiuye has a high status, so when he comes up, he can ask about the physical condition of the head of the Kongtong faction, Zihe Zhenren, while others can only express concern about other elders or disciples of the word generation.

There are also people who crossed the line and mentioned the "crane old fairy" in a cordial tone, but they got a bland reply, and everyone's eyes also showed disdain and shame, Chen Jinke judged that this person was arrogant and arrogant, and he was a reckless person, and sure enough, in the subsequent discussion process, this person was deliberately ignored by everyone several times, and finally could only shut up.

No wonder there are always people who say that the rivers and lakes are unfathomable, and Uncle Shi also reminded him to find out the "size and depth", Chen Jinke knows that he has a lot to learn, even if he understands the rules and wants to really integrate into the rivers and lakes, he also needs continuous efforts, he even regrets that he left the school too late, how good would it be if the time spent practicing martial arts to make friends?

In this way, he didn't even care much about who the dragon king was.

A gathering of rivers and lakes with the highest specifications in the capital finally entered the topic, and the first question raised by everyone was - who is the Dragon King, who is worthy of such a big fight, and actually needs Cheng Jiuye to come forward in person and invite the big man in black and white?

After obtaining Cheng Jiuye's acquiescence, Fan Yongda got up and answered this question: "The Dragon King is a king of the Western Regions......"

Chen Jinke was taken aback, no matter how excessive the behavior of the kings of the Western Regions was, they should be resolved by the imperial court, what would it be a Jianghu incident? As soon as the thought arose, the disciple of the Qingcheng faction coldly interjected: "Pseudo-king, he is not a real king. ”

Fan Yong laughed and said yes, "The Dragon King has indeed not been recognized by this dynasty, I will still call him by his real name - Gu Shenwei, who was originally from the Central Plains, and his father Gu Lun was a military attache of the previous dynasty. ”

"Oh......" A voice of sudden realization sounded in the hall, as a native of the Central Plains, they knew very little about the Western Regions, and they didn't care, they had to mention the Gu clan in the capital to understand the background of the "Dragon King".

"Gu Shenwei learned martial arts in the Western Regions......"

"Cult martial arts. "The disciples of the Qingcheng Sect have made up their minds to correct every wrong statement about the Dragon King.

Fan Yongda nodded yes, "Gu Shenwei learned killer martial arts, and he was indeed a little unorthodox, and later he betrayed the sect, gathered a group of mountain people, and established an army, which grew stronger and stronger in a few years, and finally conquered the former sect." ”

Betraying the master is the most rebellious evil deed in the rivers and lakes, which is a very unfavorable statement for the Dragon King, the disciples of the Qingcheng faction did not raise any objections, and everyone, including Chen Jinke, immediately classified Gu Shenwei as the "devil".

"I don't know if you remember, about seven or eight years ago, a group of Central Plains martial arts people were ordered to enter the North Garden, but they encountered danger, and they were rescued by Gu Shenwei at that time. ”

Some people nodded and some people were dazed, and they didn't have a particularly deep impression of this matter, only the Qingcheng sect disciple interjected again, "He also killed a lot of Central Plains people." ”

Cheng Yi had been listening, and at this time he spoke, to the surprise of many people, he did not use the ordinary name "Gu Shenwei", "The last generation of the Qingcheng faction was killed by the Dragon King's knife in the North Court. ”

This time, everyone understood why the disciples of the Qingcheng faction were so disrespectful to the Dragon King, but they were all taken aback, Liu Qingpu, the previous head of the Qingcheng faction, was famous in the rivers and lakes, and he has not faded so far, he died suddenly a few years ago, and not many people know that he went to Beiting and died at the hands of a person from the Western Regions.

Chen Jinke's interest in the Dragon King has regained, and he thinks that if he can make Cheng Jiuye take it seriously, this person must not be simple.

Fan Yongda and the others continued after the discussion subsided: "Gu Shenwei occupies a lot of territory in the Western Regions, but the strange thing is that six years ago, when he was at his peak, he gave up everything, disappeared, and some of them fell apart, and the war lasted for several years. ”

The affairs of the Western Regions could not cause waves in the Central Plains, so Fan Yongda did not elaborate, and turned to the problem at hand, "It's been six years, and Gu Shenwei actually appeared near the capital. ”

"What is he doing in the Central Plains?" a guest couldn't help but ask, and after listening to it for a long time, he still didn't understand what this dragon king had to do with the Central Plains rivers and lakes.

The disciple of the Qingcheng faction couldn't help it, got up and said sharply: "Gu Shenwei is the great enemy of the Central Plains, he not only assassinated many people in his own sect, but also attacked Luojiazhuang's 'Divine Calculation of a Sword', and he is a madman, openly claiming that His Majesty the Emperor is his enemy. ”

"God counts a sword" Luo Qikang's reputation is much better than that of the head of the Qingcheng faction, and even after six years, his nickname can still cause a stir.

Chen Jinke finally understood the reason why his uncle invited colleagues from all over the world, and also understood what King Xiao meant by "have a good talk" - the Dragon King is the kind of unruly devil, and if you want him to sit down and talk, you must first capture him alive or even kill him.

The hearts of the seventeenth generation disciples of the Kongtong Sect suddenly became eager, and they were determined to make good use of this opportunity to "attack them in groups" and gain a position for themselves in the rivers and lakes.

He was even a little grateful to the Dragon King, without the Demon Head, where would the hero come from?

(I was supposed to resume the two shifts today, but my body was still a little weak, I tried it, but I couldn't do it, so I could only wait for two days and then return to normal, sorry.) ）
