Chapter 62 Dugu
The next day, Pei Manzhen got up early and used it early in the hall. Seeing Teng Xiangbin walking alone in the back garden, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Teng." Teng Xiangbin also saw her and said with a smile: "Miss Pei is early, did you use it too early?" Pei Manzhen nodded: "This mansion is really big, if it weren't for the family to lead the way, I wouldn't be able to find this hall." Teng Xiangbin said: "Let's go around together, the martial arts conference is coming, and the house has been very lively these days, let's take a look." The two chatted while walking, Pei Manzhen asked Teng Xiangbin and Yang Bao about their rest, only to know that several people were drunk last night and were still sleeping in the room. The two walked through the back garden and saw that Xuanyuan Ting was arranging a few families to decorate the yard, Pei Manzhen suddenly thought about it and asked, "What does Brother Teng think of Sister Ting?" Teng Xiangbin replied: "He is enthusiastic and bold, and he is also beautiful, and he is a heroine among women." He said this without thinking, Pei Manzhen just wanted to ask again, Xuanyuan Ting saw the two, beckoned to the two, and walked straight over. Xuanyuan Ting seemed to be in a good mood and said, "Sister Pei, Brother Teng, it's early." Teng Xiangbin said: "I have nothing to do in the morning, I see Miss Pei, and we will walk together." Pei Manzhen smiled: "It's just that the mansion is too big, Brother Teng and I are afraid of getting lost, so we don't dare to walk around." Xuanyuan Ting said: "There are more heroes participating in the martial arts conference this year than in previous years, and they are also more special, so the house is arranged up and down the same, it is inevitable that you don't know the way, I'll take you to see." Pei Man Zhenqi said: "The martial arts conference will be held every year?" Xuanyuan Ting said: "This is not possible, it is usually held once every three years, but the scale is not as big as this year." Before she finished speaking, Teng Xiangbin said: "This year, Liu Quan surrendered to the enemy, the Tartars invaded the south, the Great Song Dynasty was defeated again and again, and more and more land was lost. Xuanyuan Ting said: "Brother Teng is right, my father and I instructed us to invite more strange people on the rivers and lakes before my sister and I posted the hero post this time, that is, the old-timers who have retired for many years, and my father has made invitations." ”
The three of them walked for a while, bypassing the side courtyard, Teng Xiangbin said: "I recognize it this time, and a long corridor in front of us is the guest room where we lived last night." Xuanyuan Ting praised: "Brother Teng has a good memory. The three of them walked further forward, and when they reached the end of the corridor, they saw Xuanyuan Wan'er talking to a family member from a distance, and Xuanyuan Ting said: "Sister also got up early, but I don't know what she is doing here." Seeing that Ding stretched out his hand to a room, Xuanyuan Ting said to Teng Xiangbin: "It turns out that my sister is here to find you." That Ding was referring to Teng Xiangbin's guest room. Teng Xiangbin was just about to answer, Xuanyuan Ting had already shouted at Xuanyuan Wan'er: "Sister!" Xuanyuan Wan'er was stunned when she saw the three of them, Xuanyuan Ting walked over and smiled: "Sister, it's so early, what are you doing here?" Xuanyuan Wan'er's face was flushed, and she said for a long time: "I'm here to find Sister Pei." Thinking about it, there seemed to be something wrong, so he changed his words: "Let's see if everyone is awake, I want to greet you with breakfast." Pei Manzhen smiled and said: "Sister Wan'er, I have eaten, Brother Teng has also eaten, and the rest of Brother Yang and they will still be sleeping." Xuanyuan Wan'er answered, Xuanyuan Ting saw her behind her hands, she was very surprised, and asked, "Sister, what are you taking?" Xuanyuan Wan'er hurriedly said: "No, it's nothing." The tone of his voice was very flustered. The three of them were a little strange, but they heard Xuanyuan Wan'er say, "I still have some things, so I'll go first." Without waiting for the three of them to react, they hurried away.
The next day was the first day of the Heroes Conference, and in the morning, there were countless heroes and heroes in Xuanyuan Mansion. Although the house is large, it is already crowded with people.
At noon, Qiao Song summoned all the heroes to gather in the outer forest, and all the senior disciples of the southeast, northwest, and sects attended the meeting, Yang Baozhong was caught in the crowd, looked over, and only heard Qiao Song say loudly: "The purpose of the old alliance leader to hold the hero conference this time, everyone must have known." The old alliance leader once said to me: 'Fang is in great turmoil today, and the Mongol Tatars are increasingly invading the south, encroaching on the world of the Great Song Dynasty. The heroes agreed in unison, their expressions very excited. Qiao Song continued: "The political affairs of the imperial court are disordered, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, and it is impossible to ask those stinky officials to protect the country and the people. At present, the external troubles are deepening, everyone must have a heart to sacrifice their lives to serve the country, and the old alliance leader also wants to use the conference to encourage all good brothers to keep in mind the word 'loyalty'. The heroes responded with a bang and shouted in unison: "Swear to the death to learn from the old alliance leader of Xuanyuan." ”
Yang Baozhong and the others saw that everyone was excited, and they glanced at each other, only to hear Teng Xiangbin muttering to himself on the side, and said: "The eldest husband has to be like this, so that he will not go in vain in this world." ”
Suddenly, someone below asked loudly: "Qiao Daxia, why haven't you seen the old alliance leader for the past few days?" Qiao Song has followed Xuanyuan for more than 20 years and made great contributions to resisting foreign invasions. Although he is only a housekeeper in Xuanyuan Mansion, everyone respects him for his loyalty, and his martial arts are extremely high, so he is called "hero" by that person. When he asked, the following heroes responded one after another, and the voices of discussion were endless. I only heard Qiao Song say: "The old alliance leader has been in retreat for many days, and he will go out tonight to preside over the hero conference." The crowd applauded loudly, but they heard Qiao Song say again: "Qiao summoned everyone to come today, but it was one thing. He paused, looked at everyone, and continued: "In a few days, it will be the ninth day of the ninth month of September, and everyone must know what day it is. There was a sudden silence below, and Qiao Song continued: "There is one person who comes here every year on this day to find the old alliance leader to compete in martial arts. I heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Dugu Yang!" He shouted, and he was in an uproar. A man in his forties in front of Yang Baozhong asked a man on the side: "Do you know what the origin of this Dugu Yang he said?" The man said: "How can you not know that today is a martial arts hero who is as famous as the old alliance leader." The man said: "Haojie may not be, but the name is true." Dugu Yang is strong in martial arts, but he acts perversely, and he is both righteous and evil, and he will find the old alliance leader to compete on the ninth day of September every year. I heard that the two are feuding, I think Qiao Song is going to tell us all about it this time. Everyone was still discussing, and sure enough, they heard Qiao Song say: "The old alliance leader is in retreat for this matter. The old alliance leader's martial arts will not lose to this person, but this person acts erratically, Qiao is only afraid that this person will suddenly appear during the conference, so he will carry the old alliance leader behind his back and say to everyone, if this person disturbs the conference, please also ask the heroes to focus on the overall situation. After he said this, he looked around, and the heroes replied one after another: "This is natural!" "If someone wants to make a big meeting, it will be a blatant enemy of martial arts!" Some people whispered below: "Xuanyuan ponders and is known as the leader of the martial arts alliance, and his martial arts are the best in martial arts. ”
After a while, Qiao Song and the group discussed the trivial matters of the martial arts conference, and seeing that it was not too early, they dispersed the crowd, and all the guests returned to the mansion one after another.
In the evening, the inside and outside of the Xuanyuan Mansion are full of lights, and the candles are brilliant. There are more than 200 seats in the main hall, front hall, back hall, wing hall and flower hall, and more than half of the world's famous heroes and heroes go to the banquet. This hero's banquet is a rare event once in several years, if it weren't for the host's extensive friends and admiration, it would be difficult to invite these many martial arts heroes.
