117. Return to the Great Song Dynasty
On the second day, after Ye Xiao had breakfast, he was taken to a huge living room by a subordinate of the house. It was also at this time that he learned that he was in Beppu, the capital of the Hua family, and at the same time he appreciated the luxurious life of a wealthy merchant in this world. Although this Beppu cannot compete with a prince like Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, it can be compared to a declining royal family like Mu Wangfu. This is just Beppu, the capital of the Hua family, and you can imagine what kind of rich party the Jiangnan Hua family is.
As soon as he entered the living room, Ye Xiao saw Hua Manlou waiting for him accompanied by four maids.
"Ye Shaoxia, do you have anything to prepare?" Hua Manlou heard the movement, and knew that it was Ye Xiao who came, so he asked.
Ye Xiao said: "No need, I can leave at any time, and Sister Hua, you can also call me by my name, so that when the young man comes and goes, I almost think that I am a chivalrous man." ”
Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Aren't you a chivalrous person?"
Ye Xiao said: "I never think so, and I don't want to be a chivalrous person, I don't want to be bound by the so-called chivalry, what I want to do is just what I think is right, as for what the world thinks is their business." ”
"Huh...... Could it be that you can see fame and fortune so lightly at such a young age, and it is no wonder that you will brave the world's disapproval in Juxian Village to help Qiao Feng fight the heroes. Hua Manlou said with a smile.
For Hua Manlou to know about this, Ye Xiao naturally would not be surprised, not to mention that his battle of Juxianzhuang had spread all over the rivers and lakes, just the strength of the Hua family, he was definitely able to find out his information in a short time.
Ye Xiao smiled, stopped continuing the topic, and asked, "Sister Hua, are we ready to go?"
Hua Manlou nodded and said, "Well, let's go, Mei'er, are the horses ready?"
The white-clothed maid on her right side said respectfully, "It's ready, you can go at any time." After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Miss, are you sure that this time you will ride a horse directly instead of a carriage?"
Hua Manlou said: "This time we are rushing to the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, the carriage is too slow, we must hurry." ”
"But, miss, you ......"
Hua Manlou directly interrupted her and said, "Needless to say, I've already decided." ”
Immediately, Ye Xiao took the Guyun sword lent to him by Ye Guyun from the blue-clothed woman among the four women, and went out of the Huafu Mansion with Hua Manlou and her four maids. Outside the house, there were already five fine horses waiting. Seeing such a scene, Ye Xiao knew that the four maids who were originally in Huamanlou were also going to accompany him, no wonder these four maids were carrying swords, presumably they were responsible for protecting Huamanlou.
As Ye Xiao thought, these four maids are named after Mei Lan Zhuju, and they are the sword servants trained by Hua Manlou's father, the head of the Hua family in Jiangnan, who is responsible for taking care of Hua Manlou's daily life and protecting Hua Manlou since he was a child.
Hua Manlou jumped on the horse first, and she didn't need the help of others at all, obviously she was a master herself. And Ye Xiao also knows that in the original work, Hua Manlou is indeed a top master, listening to the voice, distinguishing the position, smelling the fragrance and knowing the people are all perfect, and the self-created Liuyun Flying Sleeve is a powerful trick to retreat and control the enemy.
Immediately, Ye Xiao also chose a jujube red horse and jumped up, and the four maids also got on the horse.
"Let's go!" flowers fill the hallway.
Two of the maids immediately galloped to lead the way, while the other two maids guarded the building on the left and right. Although Ye Xiao didn't see any clues, he felt that if he wanted to attack Hua Manlou, unless he attacked directly from above, otherwise, in any direction in all directions, the four maids could support and resist at the first time, so it can be seen that the position of these four maids may be some kind of formation.
After the six of them left the capital, it took more than half a month to arrive in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. This is a lot more than the time it took Ye Xiao to rush from southern Yunnan to the capital before, and the reason why this is so is naturally to take care of Hua Manlou and other five women, although they are all martial arts masters, but after all, they can't be as rough as men.
As soon as he entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, Hua Manlou received a message from the spies of the Hua family, saying that the Blood Knife Ancestor really wanted to kill the Tao. And it had already started to act seven days ago, and now thousands of people have died in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, and in many places entire villages have been slaughtered, from the ancient old people to the born babies. And even more infuriating is that all the heads of the dead were cut off. Now in the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the government or the righteous people in the rivers and lakes, they are all looking for the Blood Knife Ancestor and his disciples, but it is a pity that the location of the Blood Knife Gate is extremely secret, and no one knows so far, as for the Blood Knife Ancestor and his disciples, it is not that no one has encountered it, but the people who have encountered it, whether they are ordinary people or good hands in the rivers and lakes, have not been spared.
Hearing such news, even if he was unwilling to be an enemy of anyone in his life, Hua Manlou, who cherished the preciousness of life, rose to kill for the first time in his life. This Blood Knife Ancestor is really mad and regards life like a mustard.
At this time, the six of them were in a restaurant in Chongzhou City, the first city at the junction of the Great Song Kingdom and the Great Qing Kingdom, and Hua Manlou said: "Ye Xiao, I plan to distribute heroic stickers in the Great Song Dynasty, hold a martial arts conference, and gather all martial arts people to stop this catastrophe." ”
Ye Xiao pondered for a while, and said: "This matter is feasible, after all, although everyone is looking for the Blood Knife Gate now, but after all, there is no organization, and the efficiency will be much lower, if you can gather everyone together, and then organize and plan it, you can achieve the best results." ”
However, at this moment, a few men walked downstairs, only to hear one of the men with a scar on his face say: "This time this bloody knife gate is really famous all over the world, and in just seven days, it slaughtered three villages and six villages, and thousands of lives. ”
"But no, this Blood Knife Ancestor is really a ruthless person, thousands of lives, if he says that he will be slaughtered, he will be slaughtered, even the children who have just landed will not be spared, and even more excessively, he will cut off everyone's heads, so that people will never be able to live beyond their lives. Another one-eyed man said.
"Hey, if you don't stop his mad behavior, I'm afraid the southwest will be ruined. "It was a Humpty Dumpty man who spoke.
"Haven't you heard that Master Yideng posted a heroic post in Dali City, Yunnan yesterday, and wants to invite the heroes of the world to discuss the matter of the Blood Sword Gate at this time?" someone who was sitting not far behind Ye Xiao and the others said in a loud voice.
When the men heard this, they walked a few steps quickly, came to the man, and asked, "You mean the Nandi Yideng Master? Hasn't he been in hiding for many years?"
This man was about forty years old, took a sip of wine, and said: "Although Master Yideng has long been hidden, this time the Blood Knife Ancestor not only slaughtered in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but also many people in Dali have suffered. Dali Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming and Tianlong Temple Kurong Zen Master personally went to invite him, and after hearing about it, Master Yideng asked Emperor Baoding to post a hero post in his name to discuss the crusade. ”
Ye Xiao and the others listened, and Hua Manlou said: "It seems that I don't need to do anything more, then let's rush to Dali." ”
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Hmm." As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the man in his forties, for some reason he always felt that this person was a little strange, and this feeling was inexplicable.
And Hua Manlou had already stood up and walked downstairs with the four maids, and Ye Xiao could only give up and follow closely. He didn't know that after he went down, the man also looked at his back with a little meaning, and then continued to drink and talk to those men about the Dali Martial Arts Conference.
