Suddenly, Ren Mingquan, the big housekeeper outside the door, hurriedly came to the front of the hall, stopped and looked in, hesitated.

Lu Qian smiled at everyone when he saw it, and hurriedly left his seat. Ren Mingquan stepped forward and whispered a few words in Uncle Lu Qian's ear. I saw that Lu Qian was also quite nodding, and he couldn't stop glancing at everyone in the hall.

Lu Qian waved his hand to let the housekeeper step back, walked into the hall quickly, and whispered a few words in Ren Tianqi's ear.

Ren Tianqi's eyes were pleasantly surprised, nodded again and again, and hurriedly got up and hugged his fists at Mr. Liu Chengmin and the other three, and said with a smile: "Please sit down for a while, the juniors have official business, and they will be back for a while." We will not be accompanied. ”

The three of them hurriedly got up to see each other off, and said with a smile: "Qi'er is herself, and I will wait for the village husband to take care of myself, and I will definitely not compromise myself!"

Ren Tianqi smiled, turned to the three old ladies and smiled: "Here I have to invite two uncles, father and a few brothers to accompany my father-in-law to sit and wait, I will come when I go." ”

Ren Tianqi glanced at a little red, turned around and left.

Lu, Wen Jitian, Ma, Tianbao and others also hurriedly followed and exited the hall.

A little red took a few steps forward to catch up with Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi said in a low voice: "Uncle Ming Quan said that Mr. Ximen sent a few subordinates to visit, and Uncle Ming Quan has returned to the winter snow, and now he is invited to the hall of the West Courtyard." ”

A little red nodded, but did not speak.

Everyone walked quickly to the downstairs hall of the West Courtyard, and there were already Gong Ming, Dong Xue, Xiaoyun and others accompanying the three copper-faced people. The three copper-faced people are all dressed in white clothes, with a wide belt around their waists, and leather boots that grip the ground, and their faces are hideous, revealing a pair of shining eyes. The three of them were sitting and drinking tea speechlessly, with a broad sword of life and death at their feet. It seems that these three people must be Simon's right-hand men, the former dead soldiers of the Gate of Life and Death.

Gong Ming saw that the master was coming, so he hurriedly got up and introduced: "The one who came in is the general of my family, as well as Uncle Lu and Second Master Wen." ”

Seeing Ren Tianqi and others coming in, the three-copper-faced man hurriedly got up and stood up, saluted respectfully, and said hesitantly: "I'll see you------。 ”

Ren Tianqi waved his hand, picked up the middle one, and said with a smile: "The three heroes have worked hard, and they don't need so many courtesies to get here." The three of them should be regarded as the aunts of the Simon family. ”

Xiaoyun, who was standing quietly next to him, smiled sweetly.

The three-copper-faced man heard that Qi Gong saluted again, and said, "My subordinates have seen my uncle." ”

Ren Tianqi invited the three of them to sit down, sat down as well, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the three heroes came to our place to stop or do something? I don't know how we can help? But I can't help it." ”

A copper-faced man in the middle sneered: "The general is so trustworthy to the next three people, aren't you afraid that we and the others are the ones who come to assassinate and make trouble?"

A little red snorted coldly, and said, "What about the assassins, you still have a chance to make a move?"

Gong Ming next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "What kind of joke is Uncle Bo, if it weren't for the junior and I who have seen Zunrong, how would Renjiabao be a place where people can do whatever they want!"

The man in the middle of the three bronze masks took off the mask on his face, and it turned out to be Bo Yifan.

It's just that Bo Yifan's pale face is even more bloodless, and his eyes are red.

Ren Tianqi hurriedly got up and stood up, and exclaimed: "It turned out that Brother Bo arrived, and the younger brother missed the distance, and he still hoped that Brother Bo would dry in the sea." ”

Bo Yifan smiled bitterly and said: "I'm already a mouse crossing the street now, everyone shouts and beats, how dare I blatantly go in and out." Brother Ren is now proud of the spring breeze, dominating the party, he has not forgotten the old friendship, and he can still take time to come to see him, he is already very moved!"

Ren Tianqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "We don't need so many politeness between brothers, Brother Bo's speech is getting more and more powerful." ”

Bo Yifan smiled and nodded, Ren Tianqi was busy asking people to watch the courtyard gate, and no one was allowed to come in.

Bo Yifan said: "I heard Shizun say that you want to build a military ship to destroy Jiang Fengzhou, Shizun and his old man were very anxious when he heard it, and specially ordered me to come to stop him." The master's deep hatred and hatred for our disciples will go to the soup and go to the fire, and we will not hesitate to do so, and we will definitely not need to embarrass my brother! If Brother Ren interferes, won't it seem that our disciples are incompetent!"

Ren Tianqi hurriedly said: "Why did Brother Bo say this, I am the uncle of the Ximen family, how can I stay out of the matter? I heard that my brother and others have exterminated Jiang Fengzhou and killed the two ghosts of the Yangtze River?"

Bo Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, I and the sect leader took someone to do it, and the master didn't know about it in advance, but now he already knows." ”

Ren Tianqi sighed and said, "Is it true that Brother Bo did it to go to Cangzhou to pick Juyizhuang and the seven money houses below?"

Bo Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, it was the master who sent me to bring eight masters in the alliance, no, I will be the only three left when I come back, and now I am all here!"

Ren Tianqi glanced at the three of them, and said bitterly: "Since the leader of the Ximen Alliance has already decided to wash his hands in the golden plate, why should he provoke such an incident, and actually attract the two ghosts of the Yangtze River to attack Jiang Fengzhou, is the gain outweighed the loss?"

Bo Yifan shook his head and said hurriedly: "Master's beard and hair are all white, and he will see a lot older overnight." Brother Ren is to blame the wrong master. I waited to go to exterminate Jiang Fengzhou, but the master didn't know about it in advance, and it was our disciples who asked the sect alliance master to go privately. No, afterwards, the master learned that he had driven out all my subordinate disciples, and he stayed alone in Murong Villa. Moreover, I waited until I learned from the mouths of the Yangtze River Twin Ghosts that Liu Zhihui had already made a plan to deal with us inside and outside a month ago, and in one fell swoop, they had a plan to kill our subordinates, but they didn't expect that Shizun would be the first to move. Otherwise, I'll lose a lot of money!"

Ren Tianqi sighed for a long time before he raised his head and said, "Apart from Xiaoyun, who else on the ship has been rescued?"

Bo Yifan said: "I heard that the old lady and Aunt Hui escaped by jumping into the water, and they have been arranged to go to a safe and secure place." Senior Brother Simon has not been seen since the accident, and his skills are much higher, so it is estimated that there should be no danger of life. ”

Ren Tianqi nodded and said, "That's very good." Grandma and Aunt are fine. What do you want me to do here?"

Bo Yifan nodded and said, "Exactly." The brother came this time, it was appointed by the head of the sect alliance, first, to implore Brother Ren to be convenient, so that the brothers can be unimpeded in the jurisdiction, so that I can track down Liu Zhihui Lao'er, annoying the officials to turn a blind eye, if they can hunt down the old thief, it will be regarded as a harm to the rivers and lakes for the place; Since ancient times, good people have not fought with officials, and the head of the sect alliance said that he hoped that Brother Ren could look at the face of his senior sister and protect my old subordinates for future use. ”

A little red was about to speak, but Ren Tianqi stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Brother Bo still needs me to come forward to take responsibility?"

Bo Yifan said: "Yes." Since Brother Ren has recognized his master as his father-in-law, it is his duty to take care of and protect his master. Shizun is a noble and arrogant person, a generation of grandmasters in the rivers and lakes, when he suffered such a big loss, how could he swallow this breath of bird gas, he will definitely rise again and kill him upside down. Brother Ren has more than 10,000 soldiers, and he is as good as a cloud, and he will not be able to get rid of Brother Ren in the future!"

Ren Tianqi smiled slightly and looked at a little red.

Wen Tingyu smiled and said: "Brother Bo, how many subordinates are still in your ministry at the moment? How many masters are there? The copper-faced man who is rampaging in Yangzhou City is not the old subordinate of your department? Revenge is justified, but it cannot affect the innocent and disturb the local people." We can't just ignore the officials, can we?"

Bo Yifan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Most of our old subordinates have scattered and returned because the master has not given orders, and only the dozen cronies in front of the master and the four hall masters and three elders can still be contacted occasionally, and everyone is hidden in various places in Yangzhou City with the sect leader and has not appeared. I don't know who the bronze-faced man in the city is, but it won't be from my side. ”

Ren Tianqi nodded, but in his heart, he was worried about why the four hall masters and three elders of the Fireworks Alliance hadn't seen any of them at the Jinpan Handwashing Ceremony.

A little red said: "With the current situation of more than a dozen people, how can they make a comeback? How can they compete with Liu Zhihui's alliance? Not to mention that there are people who are not following the door of life and death outside, and there are old grievances in the rivers and lakes. To say something disrespectful to Mr. Simon, if it weren't for the pursuit of the enemy, Mr. Simon would have moved to Murong Villa. Wen believed that Mr. Simon had no intention of starting again. Speaking of revenge, in the Qiling Temple, if Mr. Simon is still ambitious, he will show his skills, as far as Mr. Ximen's supernatural skills are concerned, our side will not be so victorious, and will not make the general hurt a leg, and the three masters of the Qiling Temple will suffer such a big blow. The comeback of Dongshan is probably something you don't want to think about, and it may not be what Mr. Simon wants. ！”

Bo Yifan sneered and did not make a sound.

Ren Tianqi smiled slightly and said: "Brother Bo, don't worry, my Xuzhou soldiers still want to protect the safety of dozens of people, I expect him to be a heavenly immortal, and he has to listen to me in my jurisdiction." You can go to the master of the sect alliance, if it is convenient, please bring your subordinates to my general's mansion or the Qiling Temple outside the city to settle down. I will take care of Mr. Simon's safety. Whether your ministry is making a comeback, I think we still have to wait for Mr. Simon to come over. As for who wants to provoke your department, we really don't know, and I hope Brother Bo will make it clear. Is it a person from the door of life and death, or a fellow citizen of the rivers and lakes?"

Bo Yifan sighed and said, "Bo doesn't know everything, but I just heard that the sect leader sent someone to spread the word that several colleagues have suffered misfortune. Bo and the three of them only received a message from the leader of the sect alliance, saying that Liu Zhihui had fled from Jiangfeng Prefecture and had fled to Yangzhou because of the plot, so he specially ordered us to come to see General Ren. ”

Ren Tianqi nodded when he heard this, looked at the eldest brother Lu Qian, and the second brother glanced at him a little red, and said, "So that's the case." The pursuit of Liu Zhihui's official mansion does not shirk, but we don't know his true face, how can I wait?"

A little red said: "There are many villains in Yangzhou, and when the Fireworks Alliance is entrenched here for a long time, it is possible whether Liu Zhihui will go back to Hebei by crossing the Huai River in Yangzhou, or hiding somewhere." Thinking that he is cunning and scheming, and blatantly announces the whole city to arrest him, he will definitely startle the snake. ”

Lu Qian gritted his teeth and said: "But today there is a big gentleman Liu Chengmin in the village, and two friends." It's a pity that it's not Yoo Zhihui. ”

Bo Yifan said: "Listening to the sect leader, Liu Zhihui seems to have been seriously injured, there are not many subordinates around him, and he was born with a lot of food and clothing, and he loves women, so he will not hide in the suburbs." Moreover, now everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the general is the virtuous son-in-law of the Ximen Division, and the old thief is the enemy of the master, that is, the enemy of the general, and the enemy of the military and civilians of Yang, Huai, Xu, and Tong. The old thief finally didn't dare to privately create a checkpoint to return to Hebei, and he would inevitably find a place to recuperate and hide his injuries. ”

Lu Qian said: "What Brother Bo said is not unreasonable, but it is also a little far-fetched. If the old thief goes north by water, is it not the same as reaching Hebei?"

Bo Yifan said with a red face: "In the name of the general, we have asked the Taihu Gang to set up a card on the river with the Murong family to prevent the old thief from going north by water." ”

Ren Tianqi nodded, sighed, and said, "In this case, you still don't have the appearance of an old thief, and you still can't hunt down the old thief." ”

Bo Yifan said: "The master must know the face of the old thief. ”

Ren Tianqi nodded, turned his head and said: "It seems that this is the only way, the younger brother sees that this matter has an inevitable connection with the eldest brother, so he asks the eldest brother to go to Suzhou to pick up Mr. Ximen first, and then come back to take charge of the pursuit of the old thief." ”

A little red said: "I also agree with the eldest brother to go out of the mountain." First, we are in an official position, and it is inconvenient for us, and first, the eldest brother should take this opportunity to recognize whether the old thief is the enemy of the eldest brother. ”

Lu Qian nodded, and said quietly: "I always feel that Mr. Big seems to have seen him somewhere!"

Ren Tianqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Big brother is saying that Mr. Big may be Liu Zhihui?"

Lu Qian nodded.

A little red smiled and said: "How is this possible, Mr. Big is one of the four righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and it has been for decades." ”

Ren Tianqi arranged for Gong Ming to accompany Bo Yifan and others to eat and rest in the west courtyard, and then got up and went to the front yard to accompany Mr. Liu Da and others to eat, but Mr. Heda had already said goodbye and left.
