On a dull autumn day, the west wind is blowing, and water seems to drip out of the air.

In the Qifeng Garden, five miles outside Mufeng City, dozens of heroes from the rivers and lakes gathered together, and they will compete here for two days to compete for ten places to enter the Yunhua Pavilion in the villa to refer to the martial arts spectrum.

At this moment, Hai Canglan took Yuan Xiaoyi to pretend to be Song Xunfeng's master and apprentice and walked towards the gate of the garden, and saw two neat columns of soldiers in silver armor waiting outside the gate from a distance.

Yuan Xiaoyi glanced at it and asked Hai Canglan curiously: "Master, in the garden of a Jianghu Villa, why do so many armored soldiers look like a general's family?"

"The city lord Mu family is the royal family of Rongxiang Kingdom, and as the lord of a city, guarding the stability of the whole city, there are 30,000 silver armor guards in Mufeng Villa, I heard that the young lord Mu Qinghe was entrusted by his cousin emperor of Rongxiang Country last year to bring 20,000 guards from Mufeng City, plus 80,000 elite soldiers transferred by Rongxiang Kingdom, to fight in the border city bordering the Netherworld. ”

"There are still 10,000 silver armor troops in the city. The city lord attaches great importance to this year's martial arts trial, so he will send these silver-armored soldiers over. Hai Canglan said.

"Oh, it turned out that he was going to fight with us, and I remember hearing the princess say that there was something going on in the border city about the army of Rongxiang Kingdom, and we shouldn't have come this time. I didn't expect this Mufeng City to have a share. Hmph, they're going to come back from defeat. Yuan Xiaoyi said a little angrily.

"Okay, it's all here, remember, you are now Song Xunfeng's disciple. Hai Canglan said with a smile.

The two of them held the Ling Jue Gold Medal and entered the gate of the garden through the array of silver-armored soldiers.

Not far from entering the door, he saw a shallow robe and gold belt, and a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance greeted him, and Hai Canglan guessed that this person must be Mu Xifeng, the city lord of Mufeng City.

"Master Song, I didn't expect that this year's martial arts trial in the city would be able to accept so many friends from the rivers and lakes, and I haven't seen each other for a few years. There are a lot of chores in the city today, and I haven't been able to go to the post house to meet the distinguished guests, which is rude and inconsiderate, so please bear with me. Mu Xifeng said.

"The city lord is polite, I haven't seen you for a few years, how are you doing lately?" Hai Canglan greeted.

"Good, good. This is the Gaotu Wenyong mentioned in Brother Song's letter?" Mu Xifeng glanced at Yuan Xiaoyi, who was white and pure beside Hai Canglan, and asked.

Hai Canglan heard what Mu Xifeng said, and suddenly thought: "Yes, we still don't know what the name of this Song Xunfeng's apprentice is." Unexpectedly, this Song Xunfeng also wrote a letter to the city lord, he just said what is the name of this apprentice, it seems to be 'useless', but how can someone call such a name, I must have heard it wrong. No, I'm going to let him say it again. ”

"What did the city lord just say?" Hai Canglan deliberately pretended not to hear clearly, and asked Mu Xifeng.

Mu Xifeng smiled: "Oh, I said, this is Brother Song's senior disciple Wen Yong?"

This time Mu Xifeng spoke very slowly, Hai Canglan heard it clearly, and secretly said in his heart: "It turned out to be Wen Yong." Hai Canglan also smiled admittedly: "Yes, yes, exactly, it is the little apprentice Wenyong." At this year's martial arts trial conference, the heroes gathered in Mufeng City, I brought him here this time, and I also wanted him to see the world more, haha......"

While speaking, Hai Canglan turned his head to look at Yuan Xiaoyi, who was pretending to be a little apprentice behind him, and wanted to signal her to salute Mu Xifeng, but saw her looking straight ahead, as if she was in a daze.

Hai Canglan hurriedly touched her with his elbow.

At this time, the purple-clothed Taoist on the side was also greeting Yingyue, the master of the Soul Burial Valley: "Brother Yingyue, is this the little nephew Yongbao? I was still a little demented when I saw him last time, but now he is getting better?"

Yuan Xiaoyi was touched by Hai Canglan's elbow and woke up, but she didn't know how to react, she faintly heard someone just now say that her little nephew had dementia, and she misheard it, thinking that Mu Xifeng was talking about Song Xunfeng's little apprentice, and she was angry for a while: "Play the little apprentice, just play the little apprentice, why are you still a fool, alas!"

She paused for a while, then grinned, made a stupid appearance, and then smiled at Hai Canglan and said, "Hehe, master......"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Hai Canglan's sleeve.

Hai Canglan immediately turned black with anger.

Mu Xifeng on the opposite side was also surprised: "Gao disciple is ...... this"

Hai Canglan hurriedly put his hand behind Yuan Xiaoyi's arm, twisted her, and whispered in her ear: "It's not that you have dementia. ”

Yuan Xiaoyi reacted at this time, and saluted Mu Xifeng very embarrassedly: "I've seen the city lord's uncle." ”

Mu Xifeng hurriedly helped her up, and asked Hai Canglan, "Lingtu is this?"

Hai Canglan coughed twice, then replied: "When I first arrived in the city in the past few days, the climate was a little unsuitable, my apprentice suffered from some wind and cold, and when he went out in the morning, his forehead was still hot, and now he is still a little confused, and the city lord should not be surprised." ”

Yuan Xiaoyi next to him hung his head embarrassedly and smiled wryly.

"It seems that Lingtu is very sick, but do you need me to find a better Lang Zhong to take a look?" asked Mu Xifeng.

"Oh, no need, this morning, I have dispelled the wind and cold for him, it's almost good, it's okay, it's okay. Hai Canglan replied.

"Well, those two please, there is a servant boy from the villa on the viewing platform inside to lead the two to take a seat. Mu Xifeng said, stretching out his hand to signal Hai Canglan and the two to enter.

Hai Canglan was about to enter, and suddenly felt that this Mu Xifeng was a little weird: "He was originally the lord of a city, and he sat in Yunhua Pavilion, and practiced a good kung fu, although he can't be counted as one of the best in the martial arts, but he is definitely a middle master, but today, seeing him entertaining guests, walking with heavy steps, walking without wind, but like an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, is it to hide something? Could it be that Song Xunfeng was killed by him? But just now he saw Song Xunfeng pretending to be me, his expression was natural, but there was nothing unusual, no, I still need to try him." ”

Thinking of this, Hai Canglan pulled Yuan Xiaoyi's pretended little apprentice to walk past Mu Xifeng quickly, he pretended to inadvertently bump in front of Mu Xifeng, this Mufeng City Lord, who was supposed to be immovable, stumbled and almost fell.

Hai Canglan hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you kid, you caught the teacher so tightly, and the teacher collided with the city lord of Mu." ”

Mu Xifeng gently held his head: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Watching the Song Xunfeng master and apprentice pretended to be Hai Canglan and the others walking away, Mu Xifeng shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "I have heard of Song Xunfeng Immortal Wind Dao Bone of Baihe Mountain, not stained with vulgar dust, why haven't you seen it for a few years, and now it has become like this?", and remembered that the little apprentice next to Song Xunfeng just now was white, slender and soft, and stupid, and the appearance of the two masters and apprentices just now also seemed to be intimate, could it be that these two people are really a little ......

Thinking of this, Mu Xifeng remembered that Song Xunfeng deliberately bumped in front of him just now, only to feel chills all over his body and numb scalp......

"What did you do just now, what a big joke!" Hai Canglan asked Yuan Xiaoyi.

"No, just now, not far from us, do you know who it is?" Yuan Xiaoyi said.

"Who is it?" Hai Canglan asked.

"It's Old Man Xue and my princess, when you were greeting the city lord, my princess happened to turn around and look at me. Yuan Xiaoyi said aggrievedly.

"Does she recognize you?" Hai Canglan asked.

"I don't know. She looked at me, didn't understand what her expression was, and turned her head away. Yuan Xiaoyi said worriedly.

"Don't worry. Even if she recognizes you, she won't be embarrassed for you right now in this assembly. And don't worry, if she bullies you, I won't care. Hai Canglan said.

Yuan Xiaoyi only felt a warmth in his heart, and his face suddenly turned red.

The two were led by servants to take their seats on the viewing platform. It was originally a seat with a good view, but Yuan Xiaoyi was afraid of being noticed by Princess Eclipse Moon, so she asked Hai Canglan and people to change their side position, the side position was relatively slightly hidden, and Yuan Xiaoyi only felt much more free and happy.

The viewing platform is relatively high in the martial arts trial field, and the seats are located around the martial arts trial ground, and the field of vision is quite broad, and there is no obvious difference between high and low seats, but even so, there are still some people in the rivers and lakes who are unhappy because of the direction of the seats.

In this way, it was difficult for the city lord Mu Xifeng to do it, but what he didn't expect was that someone arranged it in the most honorable guest seat, but he still refused to sit at the table.

The martial arts trial meeting was about to start, and Mu Xifeng personally led the distinguished guest through the side aisle and rushed to the main seat. This person is indeed the purple-clothed Taoist of the Shaoguang Hall of Qixia Mountain that Hai Canglan and Yuan Xiaoyi have seen just after entering the door.

The two passed by Hai Canglan and Yuan Xiaoyi's table, the conference was about to start, but the purple-clothed Taoist still looked unhurried and uneasy to serve, walked a few steps, and even stopped.

"Lord Mucheng, today, why didn't you see my unsuccessful little child, is it that the child's qualifications are still shallow, and his martial arts are sparse, and he is only worthy of you to guard the mountain gate of Mufeng Villa, and he is not qualified to come here to try the martial arts?"

"What's the matter, Ling Lang is in Mufeng Villa, he is really wronged. It's just that he has been feeling cold recently, so he can't come to Qifeng Garden to meet the Venerable Master. Mu Xifeng said with a smile behind him.

"Hmph, you don't have to lie to me, I know he doesn't want to see me. Lord Mucheng, you have to know that although I have entered the Tao now, this son is still his own son. If your fairy baby daughter really doesn't look down on her dead-eyed brother, you will beat him out with a stick, and I will drag him back. ”

"I'm also the head of one party, Tiankuo is the most promising disciple of Shaoguang Palace, he has been a subordinate guarding the mountain gate in your Mufeng Villa, what's the matter? I have mentioned this family matter three times, Qingqu is the only apprentice of my junior sister, a few days ago, my junior sister went back to the mountain, I asked her, she also wanted to promote this family business, why didn't you Mufeng Villa agree? Is it because I have climbed high in Xia Mountain?"

"What did the Venerable Master say, Qixia Mountain is highly respected, and his nephew is not a subordinate who guards the mountain gate, but he is a noble guest in my mountain villa, and I have persuaded him many times, but he insisted on staying in the mountain villa, saying yes, just to see the little girl every day. Actually, it's not that I don't want to promote this marriage, but when the children are older, it is not up to the parents to decide. I'm the one who spoiled the quinoa. Mu Xifeng said helplessly.

"Marriage events have always been the order of parents, matchmakers, why can't parents be the masters? Your daughter is really more difficult to find than a princess!"

Seeing this, Mu Xifeng no longer followed, shook his head, and returned angrily.

The two dispersed, and Yuan Xiaoyi asked Hai Canglan in confusion: "Master, this old man is a cultivator, why is he so unreasonable? His son is a girl from other people, why is he still so vigorous, as if people owe him! This Mu Xifeng seems to be elegant and accessible, and he is not very annoying." ”

Hai Canglan smiled: "Nowadays, most of the people in the rivers and lakes only value the level of martial arts attainments, but few people pursue moral cultivation. Qixia Mountain is famous, and although the character of the purple-clothed Taoist is not very good, his skills are first-class. Mu Xifeng didn't want to offend him easily. ”

"However, it is said that although Mu Xifeng's martial arts are not as good as those of the Purple Daoist, his martial arts are not bad, coupled with his modesty, he is also somewhat famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is also a royal family of Rongxiang State, with 30,000 silver armor guards in his hands, in fact, this Purple Daoist does not dare to really do anything. ”

"Oh, so, although he looks angry, he actually obediently enters the table. Yuan Xiaoyi said suddenly.

"Besides, he should also covet this Yunhua Pavilion, otherwise he wouldn't have come here. So although this is not good, even if the eldest lady of the Mu family has a bad temper, for the sake of Yunhua Pavilion, he also wants to promote this marriage, which is true. However, it seems that Mufeng City's side doesn't seem to be very interesting. Hai Canglan continued.

Yuan Xiaoyi nodded.
