Chapter 10 The Great Shao of the Tang Sect on the banks of the Qinhuai River (8)

At dusk, an executioner invited the two to the antechamber for dinner. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info to the front hall and saw thirty or forty people gathered, and all of them stayed here were VIPs. Except for those from Huashan and Tangmen, the rest do not know each other. Xiao Yunxi sat alone on the side, and whoever came to greet him got up and saluted, but he didn't take the initiative to come forward to say hello. Nangong Yu sat down beside him and said, "It seems that everyone wants to be closer to Brother Xiao." Xiao Yunxi smiled lightly: "I just want to be closer to the head of Wudang." ”

Nangong Yu found that there were the three groups of people in the hall surrounded by the most people, so he asked Xiao Yunxi who they were, Xiao Yunxi said: "The middle-aged swordsman with the long sword on his back is Zhong Yixiong, the second master of Huashan, and next to him is his disciple Pu Renxiao. The majestic old man in the west is Kou Jingjing, the third master of Emei, and the girl who has been peeking at you is his only daughter Kou Jingjing. Nangong Yu smiled and said, "I'm obviously looking at you." Xiao Yunxi smiled, and then said: "The short and sturdy old man in the north is Jin Yiguang, one of the three statues of Kongtong, and next to him is his eldest apprentice Wei Fubo. ”

At this time, Tang Zheng walked over, didn't even look at Nangong Yu, and said, "Hello Brother Xiao, junior brother Tang Zheng is polite." Xiao Yunxi hurriedly got up and said: "I have admired Brother Tang's name for a long time, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful." Tang Zheng said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated Brother Xiao on inheriting the mantle of Wudang, I believe that Brother Xiao will be able to carry Wudang forward." After Xiao Yunxi said a few words modestly, Tang Zheng said again: "Can you take a step to speak, the junior brother still has something to ask Brother Xiao for advice." Xiao Yunxi said with a smile: "Brother Nangong is not an outsider, but Brother Tang says it's okay." Tang Zheng was slightly surprised, showed dissatisfaction, and reluctantly smiled: "It's okay, it's not too late to talk about it later." With that, he turned and left. Nangong Yu said: "I can actually avoid it." Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "No, my friend doesn't have to avoid it." Nangong Yu's heart warmed, and he smiled: "Thank you." Xiao Yunxi said: "You and I should be the same kind of people, people are in the capital, but the heart is not there, there are many people I see every day, but I don't have a confidant." During the birthday banquet of Yanfu, everyone did not dare to offend the princess, and they all left the table to hide, only you were willing to stay with me, and from then on I knew that you were a good person. Nangong Yu said with a smile: "The four sons of the capital, one superior and three inferior." Brother Xiao is with me, but he will become a bad son. Xiao Yunxi smiled: "Why don't you say that you have become a good son." The two looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, Huang Kaishi led a group of dart masters and executioners to come out. Everyone greeted and said: "Good birthday star!" Huang Kaishi frequently hugged his fists and said: "Hello everyone, please sit down." After everyone sat down, the wine and food slowly came up, and everyone drank happily, frequently toasting Huang Kaishi. Huang Kaishi drank a lot of wine, and those who came did not refuse, and after a while, he counted his stomach.

After three rounds of drinking, Huang Kaishi raised his glass and said: "Everyone will rest as soon as they get drunk today, and they will rest for a day tomorrow, and don't eat too much wine at the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow." Everyone asked the reason, Huang Kaishi said with a smile: "The young heroes here gather, the opportunity is rare, the old man's intention is to hold a tea martial arts party, invite them to perform together, so that everyone can see the demeanor of our martial arts rookie." The crowd applauded loudly. Huang Kaishi said: "Since it is a competition, it can't be without a color head, the old man has two jade medals here, which should be given to the top two in the game." As he spoke, he raised two palm-sized jade plaques for everyone to watch, and the jade plaques were carved from a whole piece of mutton fat white jade, and the words 'martial arts rookie' were engraved with gold lacquer, which was a valuable treasure in itself.

Huang Kaishi continued: "Young heroes can sign up now. Tang Zheng got up and said, "Little nephew sign up, please give me a lot of advice." Huang Kaishi praised with a smile: "Okay, with Tang Xian's nephew in the competition, the competition must be exciting." Tang Zheng said: "In addition to the competition, the little nephew also has one more thing to ask you for. Huang Kaishi said: "Tang Xian's nephew, please say, as long as the old man does it, he will never refuse." Tang Zheng said: "Now that my Tang Sect is in danger, my little nephew is cheeky and asks you to help." The little nephew thanked his father on behalf of his family. All the heroes were moved, and Huang Kaishi said: "The leader of the Tang Sect, Shuzhong, has thousands of disciples, who can put you in danger?" Tang Zheng said word by word: "Tongtian Gang." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent. Now the Tongtian Gang is monstrous, and everyone in the rivers and lakes is afraid. Helping the Tang Sect is equivalent to being the enemy of the Tongtian Gang, so everyone hesitated. Tang Zheng said: "I know that it makes you embarrassed. In recent years, the power of the Tongtian Gang has swept the rivers and lakes, and countless small and medium-sized sects have succumbed to their obscenity and forced to pay them taxes every year, but my Tang Sect still has the strength to fight. If even the Tang Sect is destroyed, I don't know who will be next, Shaolin or Wudang? I, the Tang Sect, would like to fight to the death to shield those sects that have not yet been persecuted, but it will also take everyone's concerted efforts to defeat the Tongtian Gang. ”

Kou said sadly: "How did the Tongtian Gang and the Tang Sect get married?" Tang Zheng smiled: "The Tongtian Gang wants to dominate the rivers and lakes, and my Tang Sect will not want to extend its power into Shu for a day, so I regard us as a thorn in the side, and if we want to take it quickly, this is Liangzi." Kou Shen groaned, as if he was considering. Jin Yiguang slapped the table and said: "The Tongtian Gang is too deceitful, and it is an old man." As soon as these words came out, many people also agreed to help. Tang Zheng was overjoyed and said: "Thank you old hero Jin, thank you." Zhong Yixiong said: "I don't know how the Tongtian Gang plans to make enemies with the Tang Sect?" Tang Zheng said: "The Tongtian Gang used assassination, co-optation and other means to gain a foothold in Shu at first, and now they have transferred masters from all over the country and officially issued a war letter, and the war will officially start in about three months. That's why we're here to ask for your help. Zhong Yixiong nodded and said: "The stakes are very high, it is difficult to answer now, and it can only be decided after discussing with the senior brother in charge." Tang Zheng said: "That's natural, Senior Zhong can consider this matter, and I am very grateful to you." Huang Kaishi also said: "The old man can't reply now, the Jiangdong Dart Bureau is far inferior to the Jianghu faction, let alone the Tongtian Gang, the old man also has to plan for the livelihood of his sons, please be tolerant for a while." Tang Zheng said: "Of course, I don't want to embarrass you, I am grateful for being willing to help, and there are no complaints if I can't come. ”

After the group discussed, a few more people were willing to go to the Tang Gate to help, and Tang Zheng thanked them one by one. There are also seven people who signed up for the tea martial arts meeting, they are Nangong Yu, Zhu Xinqi, Xiao Yunxi, Tang Chao, Pu Renxiao, Wei Fubo, and Kou Jingjing. Next, the eight people drew lots to match, the first game Nangong Yu vs. Tang Zheng, the second game Tang Chao vs. Pu Renxiao, the third game Zhu Xinqi vs. Wei Fubo, and the fourth game Xiao Yunxi vs. Kou Jingjing. The winner of the first game will play the winner of the second game, the same will be true for the third or fourth game, and finally the final. The two who enter the final will be rewarded with a jade medal. Nangong Yu smiled bitterly after watching the match, who knew that the first game was a vicious battle, Tang Zheng regarded himself as the number one rival in love, and he would definitely do his best. After the banquet, everyone went back to rest. Although Tang Zheng didn't look at him when he passed by, Nangong Yu obviously felt the murderous aura on his body. Tang Fan squeezed his eyes at him and signaled him to be careful.
