The four of them sat on chairs on the bed.

Han Jiangliu greeted the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, your coastal city is very lively, and there are a lot of people on the street." ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Don't hide it from a few people, our coastal city is only lively these days, and it is usually very ordinary." ”

"Oh, why are there only a few days of excitement?"

The shopkeeper said: "Ruan Xiuya, the son-in-law of our coastal city lord Ruan Zhenhai, is sixteen years old this year and has reached the age of marriage. Ruan Zhenhai is a martial arts family with outstanding martial arts, so he naturally hopes that his daughter can marry a martial arts master, so that he can appear to be the right person. Therefore, as early as two months ago, our Lord Nguyen Chin Hai had already issued a notice inviting young talents from all over the vicinity who knew martial arts to gather in this coastal city to prepare for a martial arts competition. If you have time, you can go to the scene of the competition to have a look, not only can you see the performance of the world's martial arts talents, but also enjoy Miss Ruan's beauty, why not. After talking about these things, the shopkeeper said: "The little one went out first, and if a few guest officers have something, they can call the little one at any time." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper introduced this, Jing Xiaoxian was a little lively, and she said: "We might as well stay in this coastal city and see the excitement." ”

Zhou Kang said: "That's not good, we still have important things to do." "The so-called important thing, of course, is to go to the Flame Island in the South China Sea.

Jing Xiaoxian pursed her lips and said, "You are all serious, fake, and you can't even entertain yourself." ”

The next question they discussed was how to sleep with two beds, four people?

Zhou Kang had already seen that Jing Xiaoxian had a lot of affection for Han Jiangliu, so it was better to be them at this time and let them sleep in the same bed. Although it is very possible for Han Jiangliu to marry Princess Linglong, it is not strange for men to have three wives and four concubines in the Song Dynasty, and it is not shameful for men to sleep outside and stay in willows. Therefore, Zhou Kang smiled: "Of course, I and Second Brother Huai sleep in the same bed, I am thin, Second Brother Huai is strong, and the two of us sleep together, which is the most space-saving choice." ”

Han Jiangliu said: "I think, the three of us should squeeze it, it will be one night, and we will be on the road tomorrow, and it will not be a great ordeal." ”

Zhou Kang said: "This can't be done, it's already very laborious to accommodate two people in a bed, and we can stand it to accommodate the three of us, but the bed can't stand it, it has to collapse." ”

Han Jiangliu thought about it.

Huaizhong said: "You two live in the bed, and I will make the bunk." ”

Han Jiangliu said: "How can I wronged you." ”

Huaizhong said, "It doesn't matter, I was born as a soldier, I can endure hardship, besides, it's not bitter, it's not cold in the house, it's a wooden floor, a quilt, and a bed." ”

Huaizhong insisted again and again, so he had to do what he wanted.

So Han Jiangliu and Zhou Kang shared a bed, and Jing Xiaoxian hung up the tent and stayed alone in a bed. Huaizhong, on the other hand, moved the bedding under the bed and slept on the floor.

Sleeping until midnight, Zhou Kang felt light, his ears were bright, and he heard the sound of a conversation next door on the left, and at first he was vague and couldn't hear clearly, Zhou Kang sat up quietly, leaned on the wall over there and listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard clearly what was said.

There were two men talking, listening to their voices, one young and the other old.

I only heard the young voice say: "This time, I was ordered by Daoist Lin Lingsu to come to do something, I don't know what benefits Daoist Lin will give us after the matter is completed?"

I heard the old voice and said: "Hmph, what's the benefit? As long as Daoist Lin Lingsu doesn't punish us, we will be lucky, we have been out for three years, and we have done a few serious things, and I said to Daoist Lin that I feel faceless, Hua Qingfeng, don't have that dream of being promoted to become rich." ”

Zhou Kang thought to himself: "The two of them were actually sent by Lin Lingsu, but I don't know what Lin Lingsu, the two people of the old Taoist sect are doing, they have to take a good look." ”

It's just that I don't know, how the old and the young, the two of them, if they act rashly, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to themselves.

Thinking of this, Zhou Kang quietly pulled out the Tongren Sword, the sword aura of the Tongren Sword is like a rainbow, not specifically referring to its brilliance, but more importantly, it refers to its sword qi is invisible and tangible, and it can inadvertently do things that ordinary swords can't do.

The sword qi of the Tongren Sword came out from the tip of the sword, turned a corner, and quietly pointed at the wall here, and the wall was quickly hit by the sword qi A small hole.

The lights and candles are out here, but the lights are bright on the other side.

Zhou Kang looked through the hole to observe the movement.

All these actions have already woken up Han Jiangliu, Jing Xiaoxian and Huaizhong.

Zhou Kang waved his hand at them, signaling them to remain silent.

A few people stood next to Zhou Kang and quietly watched him observe the situation next door.

Zhou Kang looked through the hole and saw that there were indeed two people next door, an old man and a young man.

The old man called Uncle Zheng has a thin body and a strange appearance, Zhou Kang's figure is thin, and this old man surnamed Zheng is obviously dry, his face is withered, and he is hanging from each other, standing there like a skeleton, but his clothes are gorgeous and his eyes are bright, but it doesn't make people feel terrible, but it makes people feel weird, if a person can be thin like this, it is really not easy.

And the young man he called Hua Qingfeng is much better looking, looking at his appearance, his eyebrows are colorful and his eyes are like Langxing, his figure is moderate, and his manners are moderate, he can be called a young talent, but the weapon in his hand is very strange, it is a fan. Among the strange sects, it is not surprising to use the fan as a weapon, the most strange thing is that the front of this fan is painted with pine, bamboo, plum and three friends, extremely elegant, and when Hua Qingfeng occasionally flips the fan over, Zhou Kang saw that the painting on it is a big snake with colorful patterns, and the snake mouth spits red letters, which looks very scary.

I only heard Hua Qingfeng continue: "Uncle Zheng, this time we were ordered by Daoist Lin Lingsu to unite with the city lords of the major cities around the Great Song Dynasty, which was not going well, especially Ruan Zhenhai, the city lord of this coastal city, told us very clearly that he is not under the control of the Great Song Dynasty here, nor is he willing to take care of the internal affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are advised not to be delusional, and to ask him for help, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

That Uncle Zheng said: "But there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of me. ”

Hua Qingfeng asked, "What chance?"

Uncle Zheng said, "Recruit relatives through martial arts." ”

Hua Qingfeng asked, "What kind of opportunity is this?"

Uncle Zheng said, "Recruiting relatives through martial arts competitions, you, or I, have become Ruan Xiuya's husband and Ruan Zhenhai's son-in-law, Ruan Zhenhai only has such a daughter, and at that time, the military power of the entire Binhai City is not all ours, and when the time comes, isn't it all up to us?"

Hua Qingfeng said: "If that's natural, it's best, it's just that these days when you come to Binhai City, even if you don't have a thousand, there are eight hundred martial arts masters, and it's not very likely that we can succeed in recruiting relatives in martial arts." ”

Uncle Zheng said: "Things are man-made, as long as we are willing to find a way, we will definitely succeed." ”

Hua Qingfeng nodded and said, "That's the only way to do it at the moment, Uncle Zheng, you have a flexible brain and the most ideas, and I will listen to you all." ”

Uncle Zheng said, "I can't talk about flexibility, but I just ate salty salt for two more years." ”

When he said this, the two of them lowered their voices, and Zhou Kang couldn't hear them very clearly. And seeing Hua Qingfeng walking in front of the candlestick, obviously wanting to blow out the lights, so that there is moonlight shining, this small hole will attract their attention, Zhou Kang hurriedly found a raisin and plugged the hole.

Zhou Kang said to Han Jiangliu and the others in a very low voice: "Listening to the meaning of the conversation between the two of them, it is obvious that they want to use the opportunity of the competition to recruit relatives to seize the military power of Binhai City, and then help Lin Lingsu do something." ”

"What's that?"

Han Jiangliu said: "We can't really figure out what is going on yet, but the only thing that is certain is that what is good for Lin Lingsu will definitely be bad for us, or bad for the imperial court, so we have to find a way to disrupt their plans." ”

Zhou Kang said, "Yes, they want to win the competition and recruit relatives, and they want to be Ruan Zhenhai's son-in-law, so we don't let them get their way." ”

Han Jiangliu said, "Exactly. ”

Several people made up their minds and decided not to leave Binhai City for the time being, and waited until two days later, on the day of the competition to disrupt the plans of "Uncle Zheng" and Hua Qingfeng at the scene of the competition.

Uncle Zheng's real name is Zheng Deji, and he is a fire worker in Lin Lingsu's Jade Emperor Palace, because he has served Lin Lingsu for many years, he has been taught some Taoist secret methods by Lin Lingsu, and he knows some mysterious techniques, and his skills can be said to be quite high. That Hua Qingfeng was a family member in Taishi Cai's mansion, and he was dissatisfied with the low salary given to him by Taishi Cai, so he switched to Lin Lingsu's door and specialized in slapping Lin Lingsu's sycophants.

Lin Lingsu is a monk, he takes money very lightly, and often gives Hua Qingfeng very rich rewards, which makes Hua Qingfeng grateful, and he is determined to do something for Lin Lingsu, so as to use Lin Lingsu's road to be promoted and make a fortune.

A few years ago, Lin Lingsu arranged a secret mission for Zheng Deji and Hua Qingfeng, that is, to go to the border of the Great Song Dynasty to contact the city lords of some nearby big cities, and ask these big city lords to send troops to help Lin Lingsu, and when Lin Lingsu sent troops against the Song Dynasty, he could form foreign aid and defeat Emperor Huizong in one fell swoop.

This is Lin Lingsu's wish in the past. The two most important words in the world are nothing more than "fame" and "profit", the so-called fame and profit, ordinary people can't escape, he, the Taoist, looks down on money, but for the word "name", he has never been able to let go, as a Taoist, to become an immortal, to use the prevention of Han Jiangliu to save Princess Linglong, to win the attention of the fairy world, and at the same time can not let go of the pursuit of the mortal world, that is, to take the throne of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty for a few days.
