Chapter 1 Entering the Jiangdu on the seventh day of the seventh month
The flood at the end of June and the beginning of July also had a great impact on Jiangdu, which was thousands of miles away, and suddenly there were many more people on the streets and outside the city, all of whom were ragged and dish-clothed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Those who escaped early were okay, at least they could enter the Jiangdu City, and later, the government ordered that the victims were not allowed to enter the city, and the later victims could only shelter outside the city, but fortunately, the current season was still on the tail of summer, and there would be no risk of freezing.
Xu Beiyou has also heard of this huge wave of refugees, but at the moment he is not qualified and energetic to care about such world affairs.
Jiangdu City has always been a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, where the forces of all parties are intertwined, since the beginning of the Great Chu period, no sect can cover the sky here with one hand, and to this day, it is still the case.
Xu Bei has been swimming to the south of the Yangtze River for some time, but he has never stepped into the Jiangdu City for a long time, and it is not until today that he has stepped into the Jiangdu City for the first time.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Xu Beiyou was somewhat lacking in confidence in the past, and he didn't dare to enter Jiangdu rashly, but now he has practiced the sword bone chapter in the supreme sword body, and finally has a little confidence, so he entered Jiangdu City.
For Xu Beiyou, his top priority was to get rid of those traitors of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, and then take the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall into his own hands. As for Murong Xuanyin's side, he was busy fighting with Zhang Xueyao and others, and he didn't have the energy to take care of these small roles, and for him, a few Sword Sect traitors were dispensable, but it was more important to share the incense with Xu Beiyou, if Xu Beiyou had the ability to solve it by himself, he wouldn't mind selling this young man a face.
Jianzong has two important mansions in Jiangdu City, one is the Zhang Mansion under the name of the Zhang family, which is where Li Qinglian lives now, and the other is the Gongsun Mansion under the name of the Gongsun family, which is also the place where Xu Beiyou chose to stay.
In fact, strictly speaking, these two places cannot be regarded as the property of the Sword Sect, but the private property of Zhang Xueyao and Gongsun Zhongmou.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Qixi Festival is a festival that is very important to the daughter's family, and Xu Beiyou walked into Jiangdu City on this day.
Gongsun Mansion, study.
Song Guanguan stood at the door and reported: "Childe, someone asks to see you." ”
Xu Beiyou buried his head in a large pile of files, and asked without raising his head, "Who?"
Song Guanguan hesitated for a moment and said, "Xuanyi." ”
"Is it him?" Xu Beiyou was stunned suddenly, slowly raised his head, and said, "Let him go to the front hall and wait, I'll change my clothes and go over." ”
Song Guanguan promised and turned to leave.
Xu Beiyou turned around and entered the inner room, and his own maid who was waiting here changed his clothes.
It's not that Xu Beiyou is blind and exquisite, but the family is such a rule, according to the hour of the day, there are other ways to go to the banquet to entertain guests, and the change of clothes can't be seen, so the four sets of clothes are only different in details, and the rest is exactly the same.
Xu Beiyou is not interested in challenging the entire family class for this little thing, so that it attracts the strange eyes of others, so naturally he follows the customs of the locals, isn't it just to change clothes, I just change it, Hugh said that it is okay to change four sets a day, even if it is to change eight sets a day.
After a while, Xu Beiyou changed into a white shirt and came out of the study to the front hall.
In the front hall at this time, the Xuanyi Sword Master was sitting in the guest seat, and the Song official was standing aside.
Xuanyi looked around and said with emotion: "I really haven't been here for some years, and it's still the same." ”
Song Guanguan said softly: "The master mother has already handed over this place to the young master." ”
Xuanyi smiled: "Not surprisingly, I have also heard a little about the young master, which is indeed very remarkable." ”
Song Guanguan was just about to speak, and Xu Beiyou had already stepped into the front hall.
Xuanyi got up from the seat, bowed and saluted: "My subordinates have seen the young master. ”
Xu Beiyou waved his hand, "No need to be polite, it's rare that you are still willing to recognize me as a young master, and you didn't shout and kill as soon as you met." ”
The young master laughed. Xuanyi chuckled.
Xu Beiyou was noncommittal, sat straight to the main seat, and raised his hand, "Sit down." ”
Xuanyi's eyes were complicated and he re-seated.
Although there were many rumors about Xu Beiyou during this time, Xuanyi's impression of that young man was still on the side of Julu City.
He didn't expect it to Song Guanguan just now, in fact, he was still a little incredulous before he came here, he had the impression that the thin boy had no news after following his master to Biyou Island, who knows if the so-called young master of the Sword Sect in Jiangnan is true or false? With the scheming methods of the master's mother or Murong Xuanyin and others, it is not impossible to concoct a fake.
Xu Beiyou's delay in showing up in Jiangdu deepened Xuanyi's suspicions, so he decided to come here today in person to find out the truth.
When he saw Xu Beiyou who appeared in elegant clothes, Xuanyi's first reaction was that this person was fake, because today's Xu Beiyou is too different from Xu Beiyou in his impression, calm and calm, moody and angry, and even condescendingly commanding, which makes Xuanyi a little uncomfortable At the same time, he has to admit that such a talent is more like a young master who makes their twelve swordsmen bow down.
After the two of them sat down, Xuanyi looked at Xu Beiyou carefully without a trace, and I have to say that if you put aside the not too good first impression, this young man really looks like a child of a family who came out of the high valve.
Xu Beiyou let Xuanyi look at himself and was indifferent, until Xuanyi completely retracted his gaze, and then slowly spoke: "Not long ago, I had a casual conversation with Shangguan Shibo, and Shangguan Shibo said that the twelve sword masters of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall have been divided into three factions, one faction obeys me, one faction opposes me, and one faction is watching from the wall. ”
The smile on Xuanyi's face became a little stiff, not because Xu Beiyou directly broke his intentions, but because Xu Beiyou intentionally or unintentionally moved out the great bodhisattva Shangguan Qinghong.
As early as when Gongsun Zhongmou was still alive, Shangguan Qinghong didn't care much about the affairs of the Sword Sect, and even many people didn't know that the Sword Sect had such an earth immortal master, but Xu Beiyou said it lightly, whether it was true or not, he had to think about it carefully.
Xuanyi said: "My subordinates heard that the young master had arrived in Jiangdu, so they came to visit him, and there was nothing else. ”
"Oh?" Xu Beiyou raised his eyebrows, "That's really a coincidence, when I was in Xie Yuan, no one came to visit, and when I was in the East Lake Courtyard, no one came to visit, but as soon as I entered Jiangdu, you, the second sword master, came to the door in person, and your news is really well-informed." ”
Xuanyi was silent, not knowing how to answer.
Xu Beiyou paused, softened his tone and said: "Actually, I don't complain about you, after all, a nobody who runs out of a ravine doesn't know where to be his own master, this kind of thing will be uncomfortable for anyone, the difference is nothing more than a fierce reaction or not, the hot-tempered one will simply turn the opposite, and the calm one will have to wait and see for a while, I understand all of this, so it doesn't matter if there is any complaint." ”
Xuanyi was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Beiyou to say such a thing.
Xu Beiyou changed his words and said: "But I don't care, it doesn't mean that my wife and uncle are also as good-tempered as me, my wife doesn't need me to say more, she has already put down her words, if she wants to stay, she will stay, and if she doesn't want to stay, she will be a dead man of the Sword Sect, although the uncle didn't say it explicitly, but he also advised me not to care too much about these details." ”
Xu Beiyou said unhurriedly: "Your capital is not as much as you imagined, whether it is Murong Xuanyin or Daomen, will you really treat you as your own people? Master and Uncle will tolerate a few traitors to be at ease outside? I just don't want to see Master's hard work go down the drain, so I will endure it so far, I will do everything I say, you can do it yourself." ”
Xu Beiyou picked up the teacup next to him and sent it off.
Xuanyi got up slowly, and saluted respectfully, "The subordinates retreat." ”
