The time soon came to the day of the Jianghu Conference, Chao Gai used the tanuki to change the prince in the early morning of this day, arranged four people with similar bodies to replace Zhou Dong and Pang He, and then put on makeup for Zhou Tong and Pang He, and put on the clothes of the entourage, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see their original identity.

After Zhou Tong Panghe dressed up, their stand-ins stayed in the inn safely, and if they didn't look at their faces, they were still very similar. As for the real body, he walked from the gate of the inn to the street with the two nobles sent by Chao Gai, and got into the carriage at the corner of the street.

According to the itinerary, the carriage first arrived at the backyard of the alley where there were fewer people, and Zhou Dong and the others changed their clothes in disguise, restored their normal appearance, and then returned to the carriage. About an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Mingyang Manor, from the carriage, this manor is very magnificent, surrounded by mountains and rivers, upright summer, flowers and plants flourish, in the sunlight, it looks extraordinarily vibrant. After getting out of the carriage, Pang He looked at this magnificent manor and couldn't help but praise: "What a magnificence!"

The gate of Mingyang Manor was open, and after the carriage arrived, a handsome boy walked out of the door, dressed in white like snow, holding a landscape painting mountain, noble with elegance, smile, and a spring breeze to meet Zhou Dong's master and apprentice.

Pang He watched this son walk towards him step by step, and secretly guessed in his heart that this should be the owner of this manor, but he didn't expect that he was a graceful and suave son, a son with a jade tree in the wind, handsome, gentle, but judging from the pace, this son has martial arts, and it is not low.

Gongzi quickly walked up to Zhou Dong: "My name is Xue Ling, let me ask, you are Zhou Dong, Senior Zhou, right?"

Zhou Tong nodded: "It's me, today's matter, I'll trouble you!"

Xue Ling said: "It is my honor to be able to meet my predecessors. When I was very young, I often heard my father talk about my predecessors, and I always looked up to them!"

Zhou Tong asked, "What about your father?"

Xue Ling replied respectfully: "My father is seriously ill, and it was no longer inconvenient a few years ago, so he has been in the backyard. ”

Zhou Tong sighed: "Your father and I haven't seen each other for many years, and we're about to forget it. More than a decade ago, your father and I met on a march. At that time, my brother and I, plus your father, talked freely in the barracks, but because your father was from the rivers and lakes, we left after chatting for a night. This departure is so many years!"

Xue Ling said: "After that time, my father often said to people that a person's acquaintance does not care about the length of time. ”

Zhou Tong said, "Can you take me to meet your father?"

Xue Ling took Zhou Tong and them as he walked, and said, "I'll take you to see my father now, my father must be very happy." ”

In fact, the carriage was parked in the backyard of Mingyang Manor, so from getting off the carriage to entering the door, I didn't see anyone. Walking into the back door, Zhou Tong soon saw Xue Yan, sitting on the chair alone, when he saw Zhou Dong, he desperately wanted to stand up, but whenever he left the chair, he immediately fell back into the chair. Seeing this, the servants around him hurriedly helped Xue Ember up, and Zhou Tong also came to Xue Ember with the fastest pace and shouted tears: "I'm here!"

Xue Yan retreated left and right with his hand, and Zhou Tong also signaled Pang He for them to go away first. Then Zhou Tong and Xue Yan recalled the past, and then talked about it from all over the world. Pang He, under the leadership of Xue Ling, also enjoyed the entire backyard, birds singing and flowers, small bridges and winding water, strange rocks, and pavilions, compared to this royal garden, less spectacular, more quiet, very in line with this Jiangnan style. Compared with the Suzhou gardens that have been precipitated by history, it seems to have more mood and charm.

Zhou Tong and Xue Yan talked about the old for a long time, and they almost forgot the time. After Xue Ling took Pang He out of the backyard, he returned to his father: "Dad, senior, it's not too early, let's go first..."

Zhou Tong woke up with a word: "This, don't say it, I'm about to forget, Brother Xue, then we'll get together again!"

After speaking, Xue Ling took Zhou Tong and Pang He to the banquet of the Jianghu Conference. The people at the banquet all looked at their masters and apprentices curiously. Xue Ling said: "I'm sorry, I've made everyone wait for a long time, because my father is ill, so I will preside over this conference." On behalf of my father, I would like to thank you for coming! Here, I also know that some time ago, I also invited the person concerned, Zhou Dong Zhou's senior, to give you an explanation when the time comes. Now, I think everyone should be hungry, so let's eat first!"

After three rounds of drinking, Xue Ling stood in front of his friends in the rivers and lakes again, and said, "Everyone can come today, I think everyone should pay attention to this rivers and lakes." Historically, although the imperial court and the rivers and lakes have an inseparable relationship, they are both taboo to have anything to do with each other. But today, everyone can come here and come to Mingyang, I think, for Mingyang, a manor that has a relationship with the imperial court and has contacts in the rivers and lakes, it is trusted. What is the theme we want to discuss this time, it is about the increase in patrols in Suzhou City by the imperial court, and even the restriction of the movement of some Jianghu sects. I don't know what people think in their hearts. Although the imperial court did not do a good job in this regard, we did put pressure on them. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. I think everyone should know these words, and they have not been violated. Some time ago, I got a message from Mingyang Manor, saying that there were too many Jianghu sects gathered in Suzhou City, and the people in Suzhou City complained and reported to the officials that they were being harassed. I think everyone should know about this, of course, I'm here, not to say that everyone is not, I'm just asking you, how can we continue to live in this Suzhou city with peace of mind?"

Song Jiang waited for Xue Ling to finish speaking, then got up and said, "The problem of Master Xue Shaozhuang is actually a problem in our hearts. I'm a priest, and although I'm considered a court, I prefer to make friends on the rivers and lakes. I came to Suzhou to get to know all of you, and I'm glad to be able to meet so many of you here. It's a friend, and I think I should tell my friend what is in my heart. That's right, I've also done the wrongs I have done, so dignified, I feel like I have several more pairs of eyes looking at myself. It's not that I've done bad things, it's not that I'm weak-hearted, and no one can stand someone secretly watching you in secret. I think we all have this confusion in our hearts, and the reason for this confusion is that the city defense during this period of time has increased to the point that it can no longer be increased, not only staring at us, but also managing us, and today we are here as best we can, and we are glad that we are temporarily free, right?" )
