Chapter 18: The Feast of the Hung Gate
On the left and right of Menghao Mountain, there are also two guests, on the left is a middle-aged man dressed outside the gate, slightly thin, from the wisdom and essence in his eyes when he turned his head slightly, Chai Shaoning judged that he should be a brave and strategist. And the person on the right side of Menghao Mountain, dressed in a Taoist robe, with dust on his back, and a fairy wind and dao bones in his hands, concealed the demeanor of a grandmaster!
Chai Shaoning was taken aback. The man who was outside the gate may not have seen it because of the chaos of the situation last night, but this Taoist's costume was very prominent, and if he was there at the time, he would definitely not have noticed it.
Only one day later, the Lu Mansion actually added reinforcements, it seems that even if Ouyang Yu, Zheng Dapeng and others arrive, they may not be the opponents of the Holy Sword Villa.
At this time, the wine and food were all served, and all the servants and maids of the Lu Mansion retreated, leaving no one to wait. Obviously, this reception banquet is by no means as simple as welcoming guests.
Everything is in order, Lu Yushan first raised a glass to thank Meng Haoshan for coming.
Meng Haoshan was injured and inconvenient to drink, so he replaced the wine with tea and thanked Lu Yushan, and drank it all with his neck up.
Sun Peixian got up and acted as a waiter, filling the wine for everyone.
After eating a bite of the dish, Lu Yushan raised his glass again with a smile and said, "This glass of wine has to be done by Brother Xie Qiao." As soon as Brother Qiao heard that someone was going to go against me, Lu Mou, he immediately rushed to stand up for the Holy Sword Villa, and Lu Mou was grateful for Lu's love. ”
Qiao Zhenhai listened to Lu Yushan's polite speech, and hurriedly got up and raised his glass in return: "The Lord of the Lu League is serious, you and my brother have a deep relationship in the past, and the disciple of the Yu family mourned each other, which makes people sad to hear. Qiao, as a person in the martial arts, can't get used to Sun Shaoyang's vicious methods, out of a righteous word, he should do his part for the victim. ”
"It's a pity that the disciple at home was afraid of thieves, and when he saw that the matter was getting bigger, he didn't say goodbye. Lu Yushan didn't drink immediately, but sighed regretfully and said: "The Yu family suffered this catastrophe, and it was also caused by the fight between Lu and Sun Shaoyang. Lu Yushan is deeply ashamed that he did not fulfill his duties as the leader of the alliance!"
"What did the alliance leader say?" Qiao Zhenhai interrupted Lu Yushan's words and said, "I was also taken aback when I first heard the disciple say that the disciples of the Yu family said goodbye. But thinking that the Yu family has suffered too much, the surviving disciple has become a frightened bird. If he stays and sees the immortal brilliance of the alliance leader's sword, I don't think he will run away helplessly. It's just that his departure made the old man empty and white-toothed, and there was no longer any evidence for what he said. ”
Qiao Zhenhai sighed and said, "I've been with the alliance leader for the past two days, I don't know what the situation at home is?
Chai Shaoning was confused in secret, could it be that Qiao Zhenhai was really confused by others, and Lu Yushan was not an accomplice?
Just as he was speculating, the Taoist in the banquet who was quite jealous of Chai Shaoning spoke: "Brother Qiao is too worried. Like Brother Qiao, who is so anxious for justice and righteousness, my generation is afraid of it, how can I be suspicious?"
When Qiao Zhenhai heard this, he thanked him and said: "Yunyang's words are extremely honorable for the old man, even if he is complained by the world, he has no regrets!"
Chai Shaoning was really taken aback this time. Unexpectedly, the Taoist sitting in the banquet turned out to be the real person of Wudang Sect Yunyang, no wonder his bearing was extraordinary. But listening to Zheng Dapeng, Yunyang Zhenren had already gone to the Daimyo's Mansion to secretly investigate the case of the Heavenly Thieves at the invitation of his wife, how could he become Lu Yushan's guest? And it was such a confidential banquet?
Yunyang Zhenren was flattered by Qiao Zhenhai, and his face was colorless, but he glanced at Meng Haoshan beside him intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of his eye.
Meng Haoshan has nothing to do with himself, his right hand is shaking the teacup and listening leisurely, his expression is flat, as if he has not been injured at all, the corners of his mouth are curved with a smile, and his expression is unpredictable.
After twenty years of drinking, Lu Yushan raised his glass for the third time and saluted Yunyang Zhenren: "This cup of wine should be a tribute to Yunyang Daoyou." I think that if it wasn't for the secret report of Daoyou, I would never have been able to intercept and kill Fang Yunhai smoothly. With Fang Yunhai's high reputation, he won't die for a day, how can someone on my road be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?"
As soon as Lu Yushan said this, Chai Shaoning outside the hall almost screamed in shock, but Qiao Zhenhai on the table let out a low cry of "ah", and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead for a moment.
The fact that Fang Yunhai was attacked and killed by the evil angler is known to the world, and Lu Yushan's words are equivalent to admitting that he has a close relationship with the evil fisherman, and even more frankly admits that his position as the leader of the alliance is actually obtained by colluding with Yunyang Zhenren and using conspiracy.
Qiao Zhenhai originally felt that Lu Yushan was acting very unusually tonight, and at this time, he actually leaked the secret in front of outsiders. He is also an old Jianghu, why didn't he know that the other party was setting up a Hongmen banquet? He couldn't help but gesture to Liu Yongtai beside him, but saw that the precious apprentice was still sitting in the chair, unaware that he was already in danger.
Lu Yushan just glanced coldly at the stunned Qiao Zhenhai, and continued to say to Yunyang Zhenren: "Daoist friends shouldn't treat me like they did with Fang Yunhai back then, right?" After speaking, he laughed, and changed his tone and said: "Brother is joking, don't be surprised, Lu Mou will do it first as respect." The words fell, and he raised his glass to drink.
"Wait!" Yunyang Zhenren said to stop Lu Yushan and said: "Brother Lu Xian is now on his own, and there is no need to discuss with my brother in case of trouble, my brother just wants to betray Brother Xian, I'm afraid there is no news to sell, right?"
Yunyang Zhenren's words pointed out that Lu Yushan's affairs were concealed first, intending to accuse Lu Yushan of just taking advantage of his relationship with Yunyang Zhenren.
Yunyang Zhenren laughed and asked Lu Yushan, "Before drinking this glass of wine, can Brother Xian introduce someone to me?"
"Absolutely. Lu Yushan put down the wine glass and asked with a smile: "But I don't know who you want to meet?"
Yunyang Zhenren smiled mysteriously at Qiao Zhenhai, and then turned his head and asked Lu Yushan again: "Can the virtuous brother tell the foolish brother that in this Holy Sword Villa, apart from the virtuous brother, who can have such skills and use Xiao Ting's hand to kill Yang Qingyun in front of everyone's eyes, so that Sun Shaoyang and the others will become fugitives?"
As soon as Yunyang Zhenren's words came out, Qiao Zhenhai immediately knew that he had gone on the road to Yushan, and he couldn't help but be scared in his heart, and pondered the idea of escaping. However, when he turned his head to look at Liu Yongtai again, he saw that this precious apprentice was still sitting there stupidly and did not move.
Qiao Zhenhai suddenly understood, where is Liu Yongtai stupid?
"Hahaha..."Lu Yushan burst into laughter, and did not answer Yunyang Zhenren's question first, but turned to Qiao Zhenhai and said: "Don't lie in front of real people." Brother Qiao, if you hadn't vigorously contributed to this matter, brother, I really wouldn't know how to deal with Ouyang Yu's gang today?"
Qiao Zhenhai's heart was like a mirror, but at this moment of life and death, he refused to admit it easily, although he was sweating profusely, he still pretended to be puzzled and asked Lu Yushan: "Why did the Lord of the Lu Alliance say this?"
"Grandpa Qiao is really going to pretend to be stupid!" Sun Peixian on the side was young and vigorous, and snatched Lu Yushan's words and said to Qiao Zhenhai: "Ouyang Yu did not hide his travels, so Xiao Xiaoyan made trouble along the way, and the matter of bloodbathing in the family naturally fell into the eyes of the alliance leader. The alliance leader knew that Xiao Xiaoyan intended to plant a blame and attack the prestige of the Holy Sword Villa, so he planned to let the minions of the Xiao Mansion fake the bad news and deceive Xiao Ting to come, and then took the opportunity to use your stupid talent to stir up everyone, stop Sun Shaoyang, and cause chaos. ”
When Sun Peixian said this, his words were full of sarcasm.
"If it weren't for Grandpa Qiao's fulfillment, how could we easily kill Yang Qingyun and blame Xiao Ting?" Speaking of this, Sun Peixian's tone relaxed, and he grinned: "Grandpa Qiao, you are really loyal to Xiao Xiaoyan. We just asked your apprentice to falsely spread Xiao Xiaoyan's intentions, falsely claiming that you wanted to arouse the dissatisfaction of the local martial arts people with the alliance leader, and you made such a vigorous arrangement and considered it for us!"
Sun Peixian's yin and yang strange voice had not yet landed, and Yunyang Zhenren suddenly shouted: "Who is outside?"
Qiao Zhenhai was stunned, he never thought that the person who was desperate in the face of the crisis and fled first was not himself, but the Wudang master with superb martial arts and dignified style!
Lu Yushan had already taken precautions, and the last to arrive was the first, and he rushed to Yunyang Zhenren like a ghost and said: "Where are you going, Daoist? How can there be anyone outside the window? Don't you want to meet the master who killed Yang Qingyun? He is also trying to catch up with the real person!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Yushan's face suddenly turned cold.
Yunyang Zhenren smiled smugly and pulled out the sword with a swipe.
Everyone thought that Yunyang Zhenren's move was desperate, but Lu Yushan, who was blocking by the window, suddenly shot through the window paper with the wine glass in his hand, threw it outward, and then hit the window with a "bang" and hit a big tree in the courtyard.
It was just an instant, and a series of dull palm slaps had already come one after another, and Lu Yushan actually fought with an extremely strong person.
Yunyang Zhenren laughed.
Lu Yushan and the others knew that Yunyang Zhenren was extremely skilled, so their attention was always focused on him to prevent Yunyang Zhenren from escaping or hurting people. But Yunyang Zhenren's attention was all outside, always looking for an opportunity to escape, and he really caught a little noise. Listening to that voice, the skill of the person who came is also extremely high, if it is not just rained, the leaves are covered with water droplets, and they will definitely not be noticed by people if they move slightly.
Yunyang Zhenren was overjoyed. The people in the Lu Mansion would never be so sneaky, but if they were the enemies of the Lu family, at this very moment, in order to prevent the leakage of news, Lu Yushan would definitely turn his best to deal with the people who eavesdropped outside the house, and he might even mistake him for an accomplice of Yunyang Zhenren and have big scruples.
As for Sun Yu and the others, they obviously had great confidence in Lu Yushan, and they sat down one by one, and there was not even a single person who got up to help.
If you want to get out, this is the best opportunity.
Yunyang Zhenren did not hesitate, jumped out of the window, and fled over the wall.
Chai Shaoning also didn't know that Sun Shaoyang had also come outside the hall until Lu Yushan and Sun Shaoyang handed over.
Knowing that Lu Yushan was powerful, Chai Shaoning just wanted to rush out to help Sun Shaoyang, but Sun Shaoyang had already roared, and with the help of Lu Yushan's palm, he flew away from the top of the tree and fell to the wall of the inner courtyard.
