Chapter 2, Section 14, Dragon and Tiger Skin Drums 168
Yingguiquan led everyone into the hall.
Ximen Qing stepped forward from his seat and was about to bow down, but Yinggui hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ximen doesn't have to be so polite. The people under him were just ordered to come, and the specific matters were explained by General Ren. ”
Ximen Qingyuan still bowed his hand to everyone, invited everyone to take a seat, and introduced everyone in the hall one by one.
Ren Tianqi beside him was also confused, he didn't know what was going on at home or in the court, so he stood next to Ximen Qingyuan without humming.
Ximen Qingyuan said with a smile: "Lord Yu, Lord Ying and Lord Ying often have contacts with Xi, and they are quite familiar, which can be called old friends." Lord Lin and Lord Shi have known each other for a long time, but because they are separated by one side, they are slightly unfamiliar. Now that the four adults are here together, it is a great honor for Xi. Ximen Qingyuan turned his head and smiled at Zong Ruqi: "I also want to ask the virtuous brother to arrange a banquet in person, and the adults will also come in a while, don't snub the adults, it seems that our fireworks alliance is stingy." ”
Zong Ruqi got up and said with a smile: "The alliance leader puts a hundred hearts to ensure that all the adults are satisfied." The younger brother will arrange it. ”
Ximen Qingyuan smiled and nodded.
Zong Ruqi hugged his fists at the adults and walked away quickly.
Yingguiquan looked at the people in the hall, and when he saw Tian Muzuo present, he pointed at Tian Muzuo and said, "Why is Tanaka Jun not by the general's side, and he will be here?"
Tian Musa was busy saluting the adults, and was about to speak.
Ximen Qingyuan said with a smile: "Mu Zuo used to be my disciple, and I heard that I wanted to wash my hands with a gold plate, so I came to visit the old man on leave." ”
Lin Mushan said: "Brother Ximen, the person who just left is from the Huashan faction? How can a generation of old man Hu also come out of the mountain? A certain non-Ximen brother and the Huashan faction also have a puzzled Liangzi?"
Ximen Qingyuan smiled bitterly: "Where, if you want to add sin, there is no trouble." Even Xi didn't know one of the knots. ”
The crowd is unknown.
Yingguiquan smiled and said, "Mr. Simon, don't go around the corner, just listen to it." ”
Ximen Qingyuan smiled bitterly: "Xi is indeed very resentful. Just because Xi had a Mohe sword in his hand, the Huashan faction insisted that he had murdered Gou Weili's mentor and snatched the sword from the head of the Huashan faction. ”
Yingguiquan was shocked and said: "The Mohe Sword is in the hands of Brother Ximen, it was originally the treasure of the three major towns of the Huashan faction, how could it be in the hands of Brother Ximen?"
Ximen Qingyuan said with a smile: "I know this, the Mohe Sword was purchased by me from a close hand. As for how the old friend obtained this sword, Xi never asked. ”
Everyone snorted. Lin Mushan said with a smile: "When you come to your alliance today, Brother Ximen must be unhappy in his heart. There are good things that don't come, and there are no good things when they come!"
Ximen Qingyuan said with a smile: "Lord Lin is refreshing, but it's a pity that we haven't had a deep friendship before, which is a pity." However, in his heart, Xi has not done anything hurtful to the heavens and reason, and Lord Lin came and was calm in his heart. ”
Lin Mushan smiled, pointed at Ren Tianqi and said with a smile: "This benevolent brother is so mysterious, he must be a master." Brother Simon, can you introduce me?"
Ximen Qingyuan said with a smile: "Don't hide it from your adults, this person's true face is handsome or ugly, and Xi has never been lucky enough to see it, but he knows that he is a child's old friend and came to stand on the field." ”
Everyone was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Ren Tianqi a few more times.
Everyone was chatting in the hall, and saw his subordinates come in and fly the news: "General Ren, Mr. Gu Yipinggu, Wang Chongyang and Wang Daxia are here." ”
Ximen Qingyuan hurriedly got up and stood up, and smiled at everyone: "Lord Ren is my parents' official, Mr. Gu, Wang Daxia is a close friend of the old people, and he is also your old acquaintance, so please go with me to pick it up." ”
Everyone said yes.
Ximen Qingyuan and others came out of the hall and invited everyone to come in and sit down.
Later, Ren Tianqi was dressed up as Gong Ming. Gong Ming stepped forward to meet Lin Mushan first, and then saw all the adults, and then stepped forward to sit down.
Ximen Qingyuan smiled after accompanying the seat: "The general's words are as heavy as a mountain, and I invite all the adults to come and testify for Xi, I am grateful, I don't know how to confess." ”
Gong Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Simon is polite, all the adults here are busy with affairs, how dare this official make his own decisions and call without authorization, it is all because the court has official documents and books." The official came in a hurry. ”
Everyone looked up at Gong Ming, waiting for the following.
Gong Ming coughed lightly a few times, glanced at Ren Tianqi, turned around and took an official document from Ma Benqing's hand behind him and handed it to Yu Yingguiquan, and said with a smile: "The court ordered us to come to Mr. Ximen after dark today, and persuade Mr. Ximen to hand over two things, one is a dragon and tiger skin drum, and the other is a green peacock." What are these two things, the official does not know. I wonder if you've seen it before?"
The adults all shook their heads and looked at each other.
Ximen Qingyuan's face was obviously grim, and there was no smile at all. He was silent for a long time before he sighed deeply and said quietly: "I don't know how the imperial court would know about these two ominous things?
The crowd was puzzled.
Ximen Qingyuan said with a smile: "This dragon and tiger skin drum is a kind of utensils commonly used by the Tujia people in southern Xinjiang to drive away poisonous insects and poisons, which is a five-step black-bellied snake skin, refined with the white gecko skin of the Tianshan Mountains. Xi has seen a person holding this drum to repel thousands of insects, and there are countless spiders and scorpions, and the scene is very creepy and ominous. One year I was fortunate enough to have this drum, and I have remained in the league and have never taken it out again. If the court wants it, I will send someone to fetch it. It's not easy to do green peacocks. ”
Gong Ming exclaimed: "Why is this?"
Ximen Qingyuan smiled and said: "She is a big living person, a stunning beautiful young woman, rare in the world, and a stunner in the world." I had spent some time in my fireworks league before, but now I don't know where I am. ”
Gong Ming was shocked: "How can this be done, the imperial court must take it back and hand it back to Lord Lin and Lord Shi." How is this good? Lord Ying, Lord Lin, what do you think?"
Yingguiquan arched his hand and said: "The lower officials don't dare to decide, and ask the general and Lord Lin to make it clear, and I and Lord Yu will do it." ”
Lin Mushan was also very embarrassed, and said indignantly: "What a fun thing, you want me to wait for everyone to come." In my opinion, it is better to ask Brother Simon to be more attentive and think of ideas, and be sure to find the green peacock, so that I can wait for my life. ”
Ximen Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Xi Mou must do his best, but is there a time to continue to be more relaxed during this period? No, Mr. Gu, Wang Daxia is also here, it is true that he can't get out, otherwise, Xi will send someone to fetch the dragon and tiger skin drum and hand it to Lord Lin first, how about it?"
Everyone looked at Lin Mushan and Gong Ming. Gong Ming glanced at Ren Tianqi and smiled at Lin Mushan: "Lord Lin, otherwise, let's do it first." It seems that I must be staying here to disturb Mr. Simon. ”
Lin Mushan nodded and said with a smile: "Cheng, thanks to the general's opening, I will do this, but in the past few days, Brother Ximen is not allowed to go out without authorization, and this official must send a few people to follow." Where the responsibilities are, I also hope that Brother Simon will see him. ”
Ximen Qingyuan smiled: "That's natural!"
Lin Mushan turned around and said, "Someone." ”
Outside the hall, four big men came in, all of them were in good spirits and heroes. The four of them stepped forward to salute and saw Lin Mushan. Lin Mushan pointed at Ximen Qingyuan and said, "From this moment on, you and the other four must follow the leader of the Ximen Alliance, and there must be no mistakes!"
Hearing this, the four of them retreated and stood on both sides of Qingyuan at the West Gate.
Ximen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Could it be that these are the four famous catches of the Seven Gates: Suo Zhengtian, the Shocking Ruler Shengzi Zhen, the Seven-Star Sword Kou Xiaofan, and the Thousand Miles of Horses Flying Class?"
Lin Mushan said with a smile: "Brother Ximen really knows everything in the world, everything is small, he knows everything, admire and admire!"
Ximen Qingyuan shook his hand and said with a smile: "It's not worth mentioning." Ximen Qingyuan turned his head to Ximen Hongyun and said, "Yun'er go and see how the banquet is arranged." He turned back to the four swordsmen behind him and said: "You and the four of you are here, all those who come to seek revenge and provoke thorns will ask them to come again tomorrow, and today the old man will accompany all the adults and Mr. Gu and Wang Daxia here." ”
Ximen Qingyuan turned around, stood up and said with a smile: "Please move to the living room." ”
As soon as Ren Tianqi pulled Xiaoyun's sleeve, Xiaoyun understood, stepped forward and said, "If the master has no orders, Yun'er will go back." ”
Ximen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Okay, good." ”
