Chapter 1, Section 8, Qianyuan Distinguished Guest 008
Qianyuan Inn
Hangtou Town is a small and remote place, and it should be peaceful. Although Qianyuan Inn is a well-known large inn in the local area, it should not become a gathering point for a momentary turmoil. Perhaps because of the four-sword alliance held every five years, today's Qianyuan Inn does not seem peaceful and tranquil, highlighting the true nature of the rivers and lakes that are eager to stop and the waves are not quiet.
Qianyuan Inn, three-entry courtyard, three-story pavilion, this is already luxurious and magnificent enough in Jiangnan, which is full of hills. In the past two days, several unusual passers-by have stayed in the inn. First, a group of swordsmen dressed in splendid costumes, the earliest to come, and the most mysterious and suspicious to come and go, came and went, and they took the outermost third floor of the guest room, next to the doorway. Yesterday there was another group of men and women in the inn, and among them was a lovely boy, although this group was kind and amiable, but they were also the guards of the front and back clans, led by a handsome middle-aged man with a melancholy face and two beautiful women. The gang seemed to be waiting for someone, and everything seemed to be in stride. They took the innermost floor to the bottom floor. And then there are the men and women in white who came after dark today. They took the whole pavilion in the middle. The three gangs almost took over the entire inn. The rest of the scattered individual customers naturally seem insignificant.
You tell who these people belong to.
The group of people who came first were a large number of swordsmen trained by the life and death gate of the imperial court, and the leader was Zhao Shuang, the Marquis of Kyushu, that is, Cao Yingting, the nine-headed eagle. Cao Yingting's purpose in coming to the head of the voyage this time was to find an opportunity to get rid of the Nanling Wen family, one of the Four Swords Alliance, if the Wen family could not be removed, at least he had to break up the Four Swords Alliance, or secretly insert his own forces within the Four Swords Alliance, or the power of the imperial court. Since the Song Dynasty was dressed in the south and lived in Lin'an, he was very concerned about the martial arts in the world, and supervised all sects and factions very tightly, and did not hesitate to eradicate them by force at every turn. And what is not in the eyes of the imperial court is the Four Swords Alliance of the Five Years Alliance.
The four major sword villages have their own characteristics, and the imperial court has not been able to choose the right opportunity to infiltrate or conquer. The first thing is that the foundation of the Murong family, one of the Four Sword Alliances, is as stable as Mount Tai, and the relationship is complicated, from the emperor's relatives to the scholars' pawns, all of them are protected, and there is no chance of embarrassment at the door of life and death;
The Yuwen family of the Nine Humps of the White Camel Mountain of the Tianshan Mountains, firstly, has the identity of a foreign race far away in the sky, and Lin'an is the last of the whip, and its family is not also implicated in the world of the Great Song Dynasty; secondly, it is difficult for the Yuwen family to say how it is related to the Han people in the Central Plains, and the customs are very different, and there is no idea of loyalty to the monarch and love the people in the minds of the people, and the imperial court wants to subdue the Yuwen family of the Nine Humps of the White Camel Mountain of the Tianshan Mountains with great righteousness, so it is undoubtedly necessary to play the piano to the cow; third, the Yuwen family of the Nine Humps of the White Camel Mountain of the Tianshan Mountains has come and gone in a hurry, and there is almost no contact with the people of the Central Plains, and it is impossible for the imperial court to make a big deal about itγ
The Xin family in the Qingcheng of Sichuan is superb in swordsmanship, and the disciples are all over Sichuan and Guizhou, there is no dispute with the world, and the name is small, and its children are floating in the north and south of the world, and those who want to say a word do not know who to look for. So what the imperial court can handle is this last one: the Nanling Qianyuanzhuang Wenjia. But this Nanling Qianyuanzhuang Wen family is also not a thorn in the coffin.
The Wen family has always attached importance to righteousness, and there is no resentment on the rivers and lakes, except for the nameless, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, so the imperial court has never embarrassed the Wen family of Qianyuanzhuang in Nanling. But recently, the imperial court has discovered that this Nanling Qianyuanzhuang Wenjia is far from being as simple as the outside world has recited. The force behind the Wen family of Nanling Qianyuanzhuang turned out to be the Dirty Dragon Pool, one of the four forbidden places in the world.
The Dirty Dragon Pond is a swamp surrounded by a series of pristine mountains and forests, spreading for five hundred miles. This hundreds of miles of territory has been almost isolated from the rest of the world for hundreds of years, and there are two major groups living on it, the dragon people and the wolf people. The dragon people choose water and grass to live in, and the wolf people choose mountains and forests to live, and they are enemies of each other. And this Nanling Qianyuanzhuang Wenjia is a base used by the Dragon people to communicate with the outside world. The changes in the outside world, the materials required in it are all completed through the Nanling Qianyuan Zhuang Wenjia. The two clans of the wolf and dragon are good at fighting, and the court has always wanted to conquer the two tribes to make the dirty dragon pool the last remnant of the imperial court, but it has been repeatedly defeated and suffered heavy losses. Recently, the power of the dragon clan has increased greatly, and the wolf people have signs of being trapped and dying, so the wolf people have made people reach an agreement with the court to return to obedience. The imperial court planned to take the opportunity to level the dirty dragon pond in one fell swoop, so it ordered Nanling to lead Tianhui to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to accompany the wolf clan from the northwest to press, and ordered the Xuzhou soldier Wen Tingyu to dispatch 20,000 elite soldiers from the east to suppress. Previously, the Men of Life and Death had also communicated with the Wen family several times, but the Wen family had not reached the end. Therefore, Cao Yingting brought people to come first, first to remove the threat of the Nanling Qianyuanzhuang Wen family.
The male and female group also had children from the Gusu Murong family, the leading three were Murong Hongyun, the only male of the Murong family, and the women were the young lady Qiu Chuanzhu Miss Qiu and the eldest lady of the Murong family, Murong Yan. That child's name is Shaochuan, but he is not the son of Murong Hongyun Qiu Chuanzhu, but his nephew, the son of Murong Yan, the child of Murong Yan and Ren Tianqi. Murong Yan was very disgraceful when she was unmarried and had children, and Murong Hongyun had no choice but to bring her grandson with her to hide her eyes, but Murong Hongyun also loved this child very much. Now that he heard that Ren Tianqi died young, Murong Hongyun was very emotional, and his admiration was also integrated into his love for the child. When Murong Hongyun heard the bad news of Ren Tianqi, he swore to heaven that in this life and this life, he must personally destroy the twelve zodiac signs of Shaolin Sleepy Kegu and avenge Ren Tianqi. It happened that the old owner left a letter and ordered him to go to the alliance of the four swords. Murong Hongyun also knew that Ren Tianhui, the uncle of Renjiabao, was sitting in Nanling, and his nephew was going to return to the ancestor after all; Accompanying Murong Hongyun and the others in front of the saddle and behind the horse, there were naturally two demon concubines, two guards, followers and several male and female servants in the village.
As for the group of white-clothed women, they are naturally a group of attendants led by Yu Wenqing, the descendant of the Yuwen family of White Camel Mountain. In fact, the people of the Yuwen family of the nine humps of the White Camel Mountain of the Tianshan Mountains have never cared too much about the ownership of the Zijin Order, and their descendants come to the Central Plains once every five years just to verify the four swordsmanship, and their peeping is the honor of the first swordsman of the supreme in the entire rivers and lakes; Yuwen's family has seen gratifying changes in Yuwenqing's generation, Yuwenqing's martial arts talent is outstanding, extremely intelligent, and unforgettable, not only Yuwen's swordsmanship cultivation is superb, and it is pure with poisonous furnaces, even the Yuwenjia has never paid much attention to the palm is also at its peak, and it can be said that it is proud of the Western Regions martial arts. How high Yu Wenqing's skills are, even the attendants around him only know that the young master plays with poison as a common thing, but when he shoots, he has never seen his sword when he raises his palm.
The people of the three parties are not idle people, and from the time the three of them met in the Qianyuan Inn, they were destined to have a wonderful and noisy entanglement in the Qianyuan Inn.
After getting married, Murong Hongyun became more and more old and steady, and the vices of those kings and grandsons in the past were gradually quit, in addition to greeting his father three times a day, and serving his father thoughtfully, he was either practicing martial arts diligently, or quietly reading books and contemplating in the study alone, or carrying Qiu Chuanzhu to play in the mountains and rivers in the Ethereal Peak. His father Murong Fu looked at it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and on his birthday in this year, he entrusted all the affairs in the village to Murong Hongyun, and according to the rules of his ancestors, he hid in the Ethereal Peak and concentrated on studying Murong family science. Murong Hongyun knelt on the ground for three days and nights to beg his father to return, but Murong Fu avoided it, leaving only a letter to pay: the reputation of the leader is important in inheritance, the essence of martial arts is all in diligence, and the invincible position is fixed in no desire. Murong Hongyun cried a lot and fell asleep for seven days.
When Murong Hongyun woke up, he summoned the big and small people in the village and promulgated new rules: all foreign affairs are not changed, all like when the old owner is in charge, Gusu Murong is the sect everywhere in the world; internal affairs are all decided by his wife Qiu Chuanzhu, and the ethereal peak is owned by the eldest lady Murong Yan; the female dependents in the village either go or stay for self-determination, and those who go will be given a thousand gold, and will never refuse to return, and those who stay or become a home privately, and the new Erzhuang will be established, the right village of Murong family, the left village of his family, and the two villages will be treated equally. Only Murong Hongyun took special care of Erbai Ji, worshiped the second daughter as a godsister and brother, and gave the second daughter a side room to live in.
Qiu Chuanzhu is really a beautiful girl, the first thing he is in charge of the village is to invite the eldest lady Murong Yan to live in the village, and wish to go to Guangling with her in the day 20 households, with countless money, regard his nephew as his own, and take him with him when he goes in and out; the second thing is that Zhang Luo takes the two concubines in Murong Hongyun's room and calls each other sisters; third, he never returns to Yangzhou Province, and Murong Hongyun does three meals a day by himself; the major affairs in the village, one is to consult several former chief stewards in the village, and the other is to consult the opinions of Murong Yan and the second concubine. As a result, Murong Hongyun and his wife were harmonious, and Gusu Murong Zhuang became famous.
On this day, Murong Hongyun heard the news of Ren Tianqi's death, Murong Hongyun was silent for a long time in the face of Murong Yan's mother and son, burst into tears, and swore to the sky with his nephew in his arms: If it is said that he Murong Hongyun has to be a wicked person in this life, then he Murong Hongyun will personally break the Shaolin Sleepy Kegu and remove the twelve zodiac signs for the world. As for going to Nanling to participate in the Four Swords Alliance this time, it was Murong Fu's last life. Murong Hongyun did not choose to come down the river by boat, but chose to run all the way, so everyone set off early, and slowly came to Nanling all the way. Murong Hongyun doesn't think the Zijin Order of these four alliances is so important, with the current skills of the Murong family brothers and sisters, there should be no opponent worth fearing in the world, not to mention that the prestige and leading status of his Gusu Murong can not be compared to the Four Swords Alliance! Murong Hongyun took the whole family to Nanling for another purpose, that is, to make Murong Yan's mother and son belong to the Ren family. Although Ren Tianqi is no longer here, there is no reliable evidence, but as Ren Tianqi's wife and child, she still has to enter Renjiabao after all, Murong Hongyun believes that this matter can only be brokered by Uncle Ren Tianhui in private, after all, Gusu Murong's reputation is still to be worried; The younger sister Murong Yan's skills may not be below him, and the children of the Ren family who have experienced the training of the Murong family naturally have the possibility of becoming a martial arts master. His father Murong Fu said that "the essence of martial arts is all in diligence", and although his nephew is still young, he should accept the edification and teaching of family learning from now on. Murong Hongyun wanted his uncle Ren Tianhui to pass on the family learning, and he had already ordered Xiong Ziming to go to the Nanling Capital Mansion with a letter to take the first step. This Hangtou Town was originally the place where the four alliances agreed to gather, and after the three converged, they went to Nanling Qianyuanzhuang together. So, after Murong Hongyun and his party came to Hangtou, they stayed at the Qianyuan Inn. For three days in a row, he hadn't seen the children of the other three families, and Murong Hongyun's heart was not impatient, anyway, it was still early to join the alliance. Today's Murong Hongyun's temperament has changed greatly, and he is too lazy to go out, so he enjoys himself reading books and enjoying the scenery in the Qianyuan Inn.
