With the growth of the Demon Sect in recent years, the various martial arts justice sects in the Central Plains have been bullied very badly, this time the Demon Sect was abolished by Chen Qi Four top masters, and a small half of the top masters are missing, they naturally will not let go of this good opportunity.

The highly respected head of the True Martial Arts Sect, Qingxu Zhenren, posted a hero post, inviting the heroes of the world to gather in Wudang Mountain during the Mid-Autumn Festival to hold a martial arts conference.

After the encirclement and suppression of the Demon Sect, Chen Qi can be regarded as a famous martial artist, so he also sent him a hero post. It seems that the Demon Sect has been restrained by the Central Plains Martial Arts Sect, and is busy shrinking its forces to defend the lair, so it has no time to trouble him.

Holding the invitation in his hand, Chen Qi fell into deep thought, it stands to reason that he should go, his grudge with the Demon Sect is too great, if the Demon Sect survives this encirclement and suppression, he will definitely come to trouble him, and when the Demon Sect comes, the Chen family may not be able to resist.

But if he went to participate in the martial arts conference, Chen Qi was a little worried that he would be alone, and he would be calculated by those old foxes who were big factions, and he would be used as a knife and a gun. Although they are a righteous sect, it does not prevent them from calculating people, if they can let Chen Qi charge into battle, let their disciples and grandchildren, and have fewer casualties, they are still very happy.

In the end, Chen Qi still decided to go, but in the name of the Nanhai Sect's descendant disciple. The Nanhai faction naturally also received a heroic post, led by the law enforcement elders, and seven or eight second-generation elite disciples, including Song Zhe and Chen Qi, accompanied them to Wudang Mountain.

On this day, Chen Qi commanded the maid to prepare his bags for him at home, and suddenly someone came to report: "Little master, someone just came to report quickly, the master has returned from the Central Plains, the team is more than ten miles outside the city, and it will arrive at noon, do you want to go out of the city to greet you?"

"That's natural, quickly bathe me and change my clothes and tie my hair. ”

Chen Shou spent more than half a year in Beijing this time, in addition to the time on the road, he also stayed in the capital for three or four months, it seems that today's children and children value him very much, but I don't know if this value has other purposes.

At noon, Chen Qi greeted his returning grandfather Chen Shou at the east gate, and after saluting respectfully, he found that Chen Shou's face was wrong, and he seemed to be depressed.

The team that returned was much larger than when he left, and Chen Qi saw Chen Yan and the dozen or so guards he led inside, as well as the maid from the last trip, and couldn't help but be very puzzled, they should be in Xiangwang's Mansion, and they didn't see Wei Xu, a cheap apprentice.

Chen Qi stopped Chen Yi and asked, he was very happy to see the little master, and told the story.

Wei Xu took their group to continue north, Chen Qi made a lot of noise, and there were many fewer people monitoring them, and when they entered the Xiangwang Mansion, there was no one left. Chen Yi saw that he was very safe, so he took people to leave Xiangwang's Mansion and continue north, came to Zheng County, and found Chen Zong according to the address on the letter.

Chen Qi's guess was right, Chen Zong did have an accident, but it was not a big deal, he traveled to Zheng County, found an inn to complain, the innkeeper was very charming, a little beautiful, so he fell into someone's fairy jump, and the money on his body was defrauded, and it was not enough, forcing him to write a letter to his hometown to find an excuse to ask for money.

After Chen Yi led people to rescue Chen Zong, he returned to Xiangyang and happened to meet Chen Shou's returning team, so he joined in.

"Didn't Grandpa come back by sea?"

"Little young master, don't you know," Chen Yan was a little guilty, "This summer, there was a sudden rainstorm in the Central Plains, and it rained for more than half a month, the big river burst, and most of the entire Central Plains were flooded, fortunately we left early, otherwise we would have been trapped in Zheng County." ”

"The prince is still in Xiangyang?"

"No, when I returned to Xiangwang's Mansion, I heard that the prince went back to his hometown to visit relatives. ”

In the evening, Chen Shou, who had settled properly, sent someone to replace Chen Qi.

"Grandpa, you just got home, you should have a good rest, what's the important thing to call your grandson here?"

"I heard that there is a sect called the Demon Sect that sent people to hunt you down, and sent people to the mansion to make trouble?"

"Yes, there is such a thing. ”

"Hmph, it's really unreasonable, just a cult, privately accumulating military armor, with bad intentions, in broad daylight, careless of people's lives, breaking into private houses, the old man must be a scholar to the court, and he will participate in a book ruthlessly. Chen Shou was very angry, but his voice changed, "Xiaoyu, the old man knows that you have loved martial arts since you were a child, and you don't object to it, but the eldest husband should fight on the battlefield to serve the country, and don't mix with those rangers who don't respect the laws of the court, don't obey the rules, and claim to be chivalrous." ”

"No, my grandson knows," Chen Qi nodded in agreement, changed the topic and said, "Grandpa, you are going to the capital to report on work, can you see or hear about it?"

"Well, although today's son is young, he is smart and studious, modest and polite, and after he is pro-government, he will definitely be a generation of Ming Jun," Chen Shou held his beard and smiled, "However, there are four eunuchs in the palace who deceive the superiors and subordinates, play with power, and there are relatives who abuse power, and hundreds of officials and friends in the court are fighting, and Your Majesty's situation is very difficult." ”

"Oh, then why don't grandpa stay in the capital and assist the king, compared to the Son of Heaven under your teaching, he will inevitably grow into a generation of saints. ”

"Alas, you don't understand," Chen Shu sighed, his face sank, "How can things be as good as they should be." ”

"Hehe," Chen Qi understood that Chen Shou did not leave the capital voluntarily, but was driven out in disgrace.

After the death of the old emperor, the eunuchs, ministers, and relatives of the court competed for power, and finally elected a young emperor very tacitly. However, I didn't expect that although the new emperor was young, he was also unwilling to be lonely, and wanted to win over the real power faction in various places to compete with other forces.

The others obviously didn't want to see the little emperor increase his power, which would threaten his own power, so they joined forces and a book of impeachment chapters floated like snowflakes, and Chen Shou suddenly couldn't resist it, so he had no choice but to leave.

Because his grandfather Chen Shou opposed him to walking the rivers and lakes, Chen Qi could only "run away from home" one night, join the people of the Nanhai faction, and go to the northeast, because the power of the Xiangzhou Demon Sect is huge, in order to avoid being blocked, everyone plans to detour to Jiangzhou, pass through Jingzhou, and go to Wudang Mountain.

Ten days later, the crowd left Lingnan, crossed the mountains, and entered Dingnan County, the southernmost part of Jiangzhou.

Walking on the official road, everyone felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, in broad daylight, there were few pedestrians on the official road, occasionally pedestrians passing by, all in a hurry, seeing their strangers, their faces were strange, and then turned around and strode away.

Everyone stopped a few pedestrians to inquire about the situation, but they were all locals, speaking in dialects, chattering, and there was a conversation, and no one on either side understood.

Fortunately, before noon, the county seat of Dingnan had already appeared in front of him, and there must be businessmen in the city who were proficient in official dialect to inquire about the news. But when they came to the gate of the city, they found no soldiers guarding the gate, and the people were willing to save a few copper plates and go to the city.

"A few strong men, poor Dao advises you not to enter this county," At this time, an old Taoist priest wearing a cyan Taoist robe walked out of the city gate hole, holding a big yellow gourd in his hand, which contained something, and drank two sips from time to time. Chen Qi smelled a strong sour smell from afar, and the gourd was filled with vinegar.

"I've seen the Taoist Chief, dare to ask what happened in the city, why can't we enter the city?" Song Zhe stepped forward and asked with a fist salute.

The law enforcement elder is a serious person on weekdays, taciturn, iron-faced and selfless, and the disciples of the Nanhai faction are afraid of him, this time when he goes to the Central Plains, the law enforcement elder is just sitting in charge, and the senior brother Song Zhe is responsible for foreign affairs.

"There are zombies in this Dingnan County, cannibalistic blood, if you don't want to waste your lives, it's better to detour around," the old Taoist priest advised.

"Zombies?" Song Zhe said with a smile, "Don't joke with the Dao Chief, the kid has also walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has never seen any zombies." ”

"Hmph, if you didn't have it before, you don't have it now, and you won't have it in the future," the old Taoist priest glared and said, "The rebellion of the Red Turban Thieves a few years ago shook the foundation of the Great Liang Dynasty, and the dragon qi was shaken. ”

"You sour Taoist priest, and you are here to confuse the people, hurry up, otherwise I will arrest you and go to prison. At this time, a group of catchers came out of the city, and the first catcher saw the old Taoist priest, scolded him loudly, and drove him away.

"A few chivalrous, don't listen to the old madman's nonsense, recently, there have been murders in the city one after another, and the murderer has not been caught, which has made the people in the city panic, and rumors are spreading. ”

"Oh, I see," the crowd snapped, and headed out into the city.

"Slow," the head catcher shouted, "a few heroes, this entry fee is still indispensable." ”
