142. Hero's Banquet

Because of Ye Guyun's jade plate, Ye Xiao left Baiyun City very smoothly, although Deng Yi was very puzzled by Ye Xiao's sudden and hurried departure, but he didn't ask too much, as a subordinate, he should have the consciousness of a subordinate, which is the biggest reason why Deng Yi has lived in Baiyun Ye's house for so many years and has been entrusted with important tasks.

Hurried all the way, until he got on the boat that left Feixian Island, Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Gazing at the jade plate in his hand, this jade card is very exquisite, there is a woman's pattern carved on the jade plate, and if you look closely, this woman's pattern is Ye Guyun's appearance, obviously this jade card represents Ye Guyun. As Ye Xiao guessed, every direct child of the Baiyun Ye family will have such a jade plate when they become adults, and this jade plate represents not only the simple identity, but also another meaning, which will not be mentioned later.

Recalling the short trip to Baiyun City, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, but when he thought about it carefully, he was also a little annoyed unconsciously, as the so-called beautiful woman gave her away, how could he refuse to be thousands of miles away. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat his face, and said secretly: "Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao, obviously there is such a sister who can let you get off the list in minutes, what kind of self-esteem do you have to play, now it's okay, not only is the sister gone, maybe it will cause a lot of trouble." ”

Of course, this thought was only fleeting, and he believed that even if he did it all over again, he would probably make the same choice.

After sailing for a few days, Ye Xiao returned to the mainland again, leaving the matter of Baiyun City behind, and he pondered going back to Peach Blossom Island to visit Guo Jing and his wife according to his previous plan. However, when he arrived in Jiaxing, he heard in the tavern that Mongolia had recently dispatched troops on the border of the Great Song Dynasty and seemed to have the intention of raising troops to invade the Great Song Dynasty.

Since Qiao Feng resigned from the position of the leader of the Northern Beggars, the status of the Northern Beggars Gang is now much worse than before, and recently Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife left Peach Blossom Island to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, so the prestige of the Southern Beggars Gang has now overshadowed the original Northern Beggars Gang, and the hero conference was held in the name of Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife.

After hearing the news, Ye Xiao naturally turned around and went to Dasheng Pass. In the original work, this big victory hero conference is also a high (harmonious) tide of the original work, but because more and more events are different from the original work, Ye Xiao does not dare to make a conclusion now.

Dasheng Pass is the key pass between the Great Song Dynasty, Henan and Hubei Province, and is a Xiongguan of the Great Song State to defend against Mongolia, the south is the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and the north is the land occupied by Mongolia.

Five days later, Ye Xiao rushed to the Great Victory Pass, although it is the only main road between the Great Song Kingdom and the northern part of Mongolia, but because the Great Song Kingdom and Mongolia have been fighting for decades, there is almost no trade, so although this place is the only main road, but the market is not prosperous. On weekdays, there will hardly be anyone here except for some foot merchants and some people passing by, but recently because the Hero Conference was held here, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who have won the victory in the past few days, although Ye Xiao has done a lot of great things in the rivers and lakes for a period of time, but whether it is a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, or killing the Blood Knife Ancestor, only a few people know, and although many people know about the battle in Juxianzhuang, this era is not the information age of modern society after all, so most people on the rivers and lakes only hear the name of Ye Xiao, but they don't know what Ye Xiao looks like。 Therefore, when Ye Xiao arrived at Dasheng Pass, although there were many people coming and going here, no one knew him, and of course he didn't know anyone.

From passers-by, he heard that the hero banquet of Dashengguan was held in Lujiazhuang, and he knew that Lu Chengfeng, the owner of this Lujiazhuang, was a disciple of Huang Yaoshi, and Huang Rong was also a brother and sister, so it was natural that this hero banquet was held in Lujiazhuang.

Passing through the town, there were many beggar disciples along the way, and of course, there were also martial arts figures, these people were basically moving forward together in groups of three or five, only Ye Xiao was quite abrupt alone, but no one paid attention to him. After traveling seven or eight miles, you will see hundreds of ancient acacia trees in front of you surrounding a large manor, and the houses in the village are overlapping one after another, and there are countless of them, and this manor is more than enough to accommodate thousands of people on this scale.

"The ancient local tyrants are different, they are courtyards that can accommodate thousands of people at every turn, and even real estate tycoons do not necessarily have such strength in modern times. Ye Xiao thought as he walked towards the manor with the crowd.

In front of the manor, there were several people dressed as family members to attract guests, Ye Xiao mixed in the crowd, although there was no hero post, but no one noticed, after all, there are so many people, many people only have one hero post but bring three or five people.

Just entered the manor, just as Ye Xiao was thinking about how to recognize Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife, he suddenly heard three trumpets in a row, and even drummers played.

When he was at a loss, he heard someone say: "The owner and his wife greet the guests in person, let's take a look, I don't know which big man has arrived?"

Then I saw that many people gave way to both sides, Ye Xiao also retreated with everyone, only to see a man and a woman walking out side by side behind the screen in the hall not far away, both of them were about forty years old, the man was wearing a brocade robe, with a slight beard, and the instrument was magnificent, quite majestic; I only heard people on both sides talking: "Lord Lu Zhuang and Mrs. Lu went out to greet them in person, and I am afraid that the people who came were extraordinary." ”

And Ye Xiao couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, he remembered that in the original book, it was said that Huang Yaoshi broke all the tendons of all the disciples in anger because Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng stole half of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", this Lu Chengfeng is a disciple of Huang Yaoshi, shouldn't he also be picked off the hamstrings? Why is it good now.

And after the two of them, another couple walked out, Ye Xiao's heart sank when he saw it, and his expression changed slightly, it was Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife. I haven't seen her for a few years, Guo Jing's bearing is even more calm, and Huang Rong is smiling, and she has not lost her former beauty. But seeing Guo Jing wearing a coarse cloth robe, although he was very simple, no one would ignore him. And Huang Rong was wearing a lilac silk shirt, but as the leader of the beggar gang, she also put a few patches in the inconspicuous places of the silk shirt to symbolize. Guo Jing and Huang Rong were followed by a woman and two men, and at this time, countless bright candles were lit in the hall in the evening.

Ye Xiao heard many people around him talking: "This is Guo Daxia, this is Mrs. Guo's Huang gang leader." ”

"Who is this beautiful girl like a flower?"

"That's the daughter of Guo Daxia and his wife. ”

"Huh, the two boys when they were sons?"

"No, it's in vain. ”

Hearing these discussions, Ye Xiao was shocked to realize that Guo Fu and the martial brothers were already so old, especially Guo Fu, who was just a young girl back then, but now she is already a beautiful woman. He thought that if he rashly went to recognize each other at this time, not to mention the years, Guo Jing and his wife could still deny him, after all, they had only been together for more than a month, not to mention that now his reputation is seriously polarized in the rivers and lakes, especially the battle of Juxianzhuang, with Guo Jing's upright and somewhat stubborn character, he may be able to clean up the door for him, a "rebel" who has been missing for many years.

And just as he was hesitating, four Taoist people came in from outside in the sound of drums, and Ye Xiao took a look, although he hadn't seen him for several years, he recognized who the person was for the first time. At first, he was an old Taoist with white hair and a purple face, and he was Hao Datong, the son of Guangning, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, and then an old Taoist aunt with gray hair, but she was a pure and scattered grandson. The two middle-aged Taoists who walked side by side behind were Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping.

As the four of them came in, the owner of Lu Zhuang and his wife immediately bowed down shoulder to shoulder, and called the old Taoist aunt master.

Ye Xiao looked stunned when he heard this, isn't Lu Chengfeng's master Huang Yaoshi? How did he become Sun Buer?! Wait, in the original book, Lu Chengfeng seems to have a son named Lu Guanying, and Lu Guanying's wife Cheng Yaojia is Sun Buer's apprentice, hiss...... In this way, the owner and wife of Lu Zhuang are not Lu Chengfeng and his wife, but Lu Chengfeng's son and daughter-in-law.

At this time, there were already people around Ye Xiao who were discussing the relationship between Lu Guanying and Sun Buji, which was exactly what was described in the original book.

At this time, Lu Guanying and Guo Jing and Huang Rong finished saluting Hao Datong and others, and then accompanied Hao Datong and Sun Buer to the hall. I only heard Hao Datong stroke his beard and said: "The four senior brothers of King Ma Liuqiu received the hero post of the Huang Gang Leader, and they all said that they should be called, but Senior Brother Ma has been unwell recently, Senior Brother Liu and they helped him to heal him, and it was difficult to separate, so they had to let the poor Dao confess to the Huang Gang Master on their behalf." ”

Huang Rong hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, a few seniors are too polite." Although she is young, she is the leader of the Southern Beggars Gang, and Hao Datong and others naturally have great respect for her.

With the arrival of Hao Datong and others, almost all the heavyweights of the hero banquet were present, and it was already close to the meal at this time, so Lu Guanying and his wife asked people to serve the wine and food to the heroes in the reception hall. Of course, there was no way to accommodate everyone in this hall, so there were also a lot of tables outside the hall, so Ye Xiao chose a table close to the hall to sit down. At this time, he had already decided to postpone recognizing Guo Jing and his wife, he remembered that in the original book, in this heroic banquet, the master and apprentice of the Golden Wheel Dharma King would come, and he thought that it would be better if he appeared again.
