Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Twentieth Hongmen Banquet of the First Month
On the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month, Xu Beiyou still went to the East Lake Courtyard to accompany Zhang Xueyao for the festival as usual, and after the dinner, he accompanied several women back to Jiangdu to watch the lanterns.
The Lantern Festival was supposed to be a good time to enjoy the lanterns and the moon and the beauties, but Xu Beiyou had something on his mind and didn't have the heart to see these.
At the end of the lantern festival, it was already close to the hour, and everyone was about to disperse, Wu Yu was about to get into Li Qinglian's carriage and return to Fuguifang, Xu Beiyou suddenly said loudly: "Senior Sister Wu, please stay, I have something to say to you." ”
Wu Yu, who also had something on his mind, was slightly stunned, stopped and turned his head to look at Xu Beiyou, "Senior brother, please speak." ”
Xu Beiyou smiled and said: "This is not the place to talk, go to my house to talk about it." ”
Li Qinglian on the side was dissatisfied: "Senior brother, it's time now, what can't you say tomorrow? It won't be a bad idea that you want to beat Sister Wu, right?"
Xu Beiyou scolded with a smile, "What nonsense is the child, I have something to do with your sister Wu." ”
"It's like you're a lot older than me. Li Qinglian muttered in a low voice, and after carefully admonishing Wu Yu, she got into the carriage and roared away.
Wu Yu got into Xu Beiyou's carriage, or the ghost Ding served as the coachman, and drove to Ronghuafang.
The two of them sat opposite each other in the carriage, Xu Beiyou straightened his back and asked, "Senior Sister Wu seems to have something on her mind?"
Wu Yu placed his hands on his knees, his fingers trembled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't Senior Brother also on his mind?"
"One yard to one yard. Xu Beiyou smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, but you, who have just come to Jiangdu, have you encountered any trouble?"
"With the name of senior brother, who dares to embarrass me in Jiangdu City. Wu Yu smiled, women are born liars, especially a mature woman, in this way, she is even more perfect, false and real, true and false, avoid the important and light.
Xu Beiyou said noncommittally: "When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I got acquainted with Xiao Yuanying, the lord of Qingluan County, she is the adopted daughter of Emperor Xiao, and there are still people who have the audacity to attack her. ”
Wu Yu didn't seem to hear Xu Beiyou's words, and said with a smile: "I don't know which hero has such courage?"
Xu Beiyou said flatly: "Who else can there be, naturally it is a person in the Daomen." ”
Wu Yu was thoughtful.
Xu Beiyou changed the topic, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about you, how is Sword Thirty-six learning?"
Wu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: "I'm still learning the three swords before learning." ”
Xu Beiyou nodded and said: "The first three swords are the foundation, I used to practice these three swords for ten years, even if your foundation is much better than that of me back then, it will inevitably take a few years of effort." ”
The carriage stopped in front of the door of Gongsun Mansion, and Xu Beiyou led Wu Yu all the way through the hall and corridor, and went straight to the small attic by the lake in Houfu, and pushed the door in.
This place still maintains the appearance of Gongsun Zhongmou when he left for the last time, even if Xu Beiyou is in retreat here, it has not changed the slightest, after Wu Yu walked into the attic, he looked around, a little surprised, at first glance it seemed to be an attic where the owner had just left, she didn't understand what Xu Beiyou led her here to do, but out of a woman's intuition, Wu Yu could feel the unusual meaning.
It has to be said that sometimes a woman's intuition is accurate.
After Xu Beiyou closed the door, there was no palm lamp, but the attic was not dim at all.
Xu Beiyou said softly: "There is a forbidden law set by the master himself, there is no need to be afraid of others watching, Senior Sister Wu, what can I say now." ”
Wu Yu subconsciously reached out and stroked a strand of hanging hair from his ear, which was charming and natural.
Xu Beiyou said slowly: "You're right, all friends in Jiangdu City will sell me a few thin noodles, but the world is so big, not only Jiangdu, for example, Zhang Zhaonu in Kunshan, Jiangbei, not only will he not sell my face, but he will let me have no place in the world." ”
Hearing Zhang Zhaonu's name, Wu Yu's face changed slightly, and he couldn't hide it from Xu Beiyou's eyes.
Xu Beiyou smiled slightly, quite a bit of Zhizhu in his hand, "It seems that I guessed correctly, but I didn't expect Zhang Zhaonu, a senior in the rivers and lakes, to use such a method." ”
After all, Wu Yu is a character who has been the first apprentice of Yanyu Building, and he is a little decisive, since he has been seen through by Xu Beiyou, he no longer hides it, and shook his head and said: "It's not Zhang Zhaonu, it's Zhang Daoshuo." ”
Xu Beiyou was a little puzzled and said, "Who is Zhang Daoshuo?"

Wu Yu said: "Zhang Daoshuo is one of Zhang Zhaonu's thirteen righteous sons, and he is very valued by Zhang Zhaonu, and it should probably be in the realm of human immortals, as for the rest, I don't know." ”
Xu Beiyou asked, "When did he find you, and what do you want to do?"
Wu Yu bit his lip lightly and said softly: "Zhang Daoshuo found me in Jiming Temple this morning, and threatened the lives of my junior sisters, and asked me to ask you to meet him in Tianxiang Tower." ”
Xu Beiyou couldn't help laughing at himself: "Isn't it too deceitful to set up a Hongmen banquet for me at my doorstep?"
Wu Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, what should we do?"
Xu Beiyou said calmly: "The first strike is strong, after you see him, you will say that I agreed, the twentieth day of the first month, Tianxianglou." ”
- Dao Art Workshop, this is the base camp of Daomen in Jiangnan, and it is also the only place in the entire Jiangdu City that makes it difficult for the Sword Sect forces to penetrate.
Where there are people, there is fighting, and where there is fighting, there are ups and downs. The Daomen is naturally prosperous, but the countless Taoist temples under the name of the Daomen may not all be like this.
There is a dilapidated Taoist temple called Huaqing Temple in the Taoist workshop, it was also prosperous in the early years, but after the old view of the master sat down, the younger disciples did not fight, and gradually the courtyard was cold, and today, there are only more than ten people left in the temple, not to say anything incense, even the life is also difficult, miserable.
A few days ago, a middle-aged Confucian student came to the temple, who talked well, and gave a large sum of money to the Taoist in the prison, saying that he would borrow the Taoist temple for a few days.
The Taoist of the prison agreed happily, and left Huaqingguan with a family of more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Anyway, this is a Taoist workshop, and there are countless masters in the same family, and I am not afraid of what big waves this stranger can make.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, a young man dressed in black came to Huaqingguan.
When Zhang Daoshuo walked into the main hall of the Taoist Temple, Wu Lezhi was sitting in front of the statue of the Taoist ancestor, flipping through a yellowed paper Huangting Sutra.
The highly respected sitting and reciting the Yellow Court is nothing more than that.
Zhang Daoshuo came behind Wu Lezhi and said softly: "Daoshuo has seen the teacher. ”
Wu Lezhi didn't look back, just put down the Huang Tingjing in his hand, and stretched out his hand to signal his beloved disciple to sit down at will.
Zhang Daoshuo sat on the futon on the side, respectful.
Wu Lezhi glanced at him and asked softly, "Did you go to find that little girl Wu Yu?"
A smug look flashed on Zhang Daoshuo's face, but his tone was still humble: "I can't hide anything from the teacher, I asked Wu Yu to go to Xu Beiyou to meet, Wu Yu has already replied, the twentieth day of the first month, Tianxianglou." ”
"Stupid. Wu Lezhi got up slowly, and then gently spit out a word.
The expression on Zhang Daoshuo's face froze suddenly.
Wu Lezhi turned around and said slowly: "Xu Beiyou can grasp the power of the Sword Sect in just one year, although there is a reason for Zhang Xueyao to add fuel to the fire, but do you think he can do it if he doesn't have some real skills?" Your intention to choose Tianxianglou is good, so that Xu Beiyou can relax his vigilance, but if you want to complete the battle, it will be too careful, Dao Shuo, you don't underestimate the heroes of the world, especially Xu Beiyou, a leader who has become famous, if a person wants to be on the top, he must step on someone else's corpse, Xu Beiyou has already taken the position, which means that there are already a lot of stepping stones under his feet, I don't want you to be the next stepping stone. ”
Zhang Daoshuo frowned and asked, "On the twentieth day of the first lunar month?"
"Naturally, I can't go. Wu Lezhi narrowed his eyes, like an old fox demon who had practiced for thousands of years, and said in an indifferent tone: "You want to be the sword immortal Jing Ming who assassinated Emperor Qin, but Xu Beiyou may not give you this opportunity, I dare to conclude that this is a bureau set up by Xu Beiyou, so you can't go anyway, and even Wu Yu's side can't have any more contact, so as not to be found by Xu Beiyou." ”
Zhang Daoshuo exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and the expression on his face was uncertain, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.
Wu Lezhi slowed down his tone slightly, "I'll arrange the next things, you go to the sect master's side." ”
Zhang Daoshuo promised in a deep voice and turned to leave Huaqingguan.
