Lifeng thanked the people of the Snow Lotus Sect again and again, and said: "The master of the nine gates, Gao Yi, actually led his subordinates so personally, and sent Zhimei back to his hometown thousands of miles away, such a chivalrous heart, where can I find it in the whole world? Come on, come on, I will invite the master of the door and you to gather on the Chaoxia Tower, not for a year and a half, I am reluctant to let you go." ”

At that moment, everyone went back to the room to rest, and slept until dusk, Lifeng called three or two big carriages, picked everyone up, galloped out of Jingshan Town, and went straight to Qinhuang Mansion. After walking along the official road for two hours, you can already see the city wall of Qinhuang Mansion. Sure enough, the momentum is magnificent, and the copper wall is impregnable. On the wall, the red wall is flying, the beams are carved and the red tiles are carved, and the whole city gate is like a giant spirit god. The carriage entered the city, and saw the red light and moon in the city, and the people were boiling, and it was also a rare flowery city.

The carriage came to the front of a high tower, everyone came down, saw the high tower door written in front of the "Chaoxia Building" three words, this high tower has nine floors, made of splendor, the style is extraordinary, almost comparable to the palace, each layer of the tower is overflowing with golden light, charming eyes, there seems to be an auspicious dragon swimming on it, the beautiful phoenix inhabits.

Lifeng led everyone into the tower, a middle-aged scribe in a white robe and a long robe hurriedly walked out, led the crowd to greet them, and when he saw everyone, he said loudly: "Xia Lian, the owner of the Xiaxia Building, is here to wait for all the benefactors to come." Xia Mouqi missed a move, almost involved the lives of the Snow Lotus Sect, and he deserved to die if he was really guilty, and he was about to serve delicious food, rare wine, reward you for all hardships and dangers, and wash the dust for you. ”

Jiuying was overjoyed and said: "The lord of Xia Lou is too polite, you are famous, who in the rivers and lakes does not admire it? ”

Zhemei stepped forward and was about to kneel, Xia Lian gently lifted her up, and said hurriedly: "Zhemei nephew, I have no skills, so I can only entrust you with such a difficult matter, you won't blame me." ”

Zhemei cried: "Uncle Zhemei is very important, Zhemei should naturally repay with death." Finally, God blessed, the Snow Lotus sent everyone to help, folded the plum to live up to the mission, and brought back the 'Jiuding Divine Skill'. After that, he took out the true scripture from his bosom and handed it to Xia Lian.

Xia Lian took the Jiuding True Scripture, only glanced at it, put it aside casually, and sighed: "Master of the Nine Gates, the reason why Xia ordered Zhemei's nephew to seize this thing is not because of the martial arts on top. It's just that you have also seen how arrogant and domineering the ghost sword gate is, and its actions are extremely vicious, if they get the Jiuding True Scripture and practice the peerless martial arts on the top, and the martial arts are right, everyone will be in danger. Xia took it into his hands, and only wanted to study the method of cracking the martial arts, and never practiced the evil techniques of the Ghost Sword Gate. ”

Goshawk only felt amused, and secretly thought: "In this way, instead of handing over this true scripture to you, it is better to leave it to our Snow Lotus Sect." You also saved so much trouble. This old man is very hypocritical, he obviously got the benefits, but he still didn't admit it, as if our Snow Lotus Sect owed him a favor. ”

Jiu Ying's face was solemn, and he replied, "What Lord Xia Lou said is very true. ”

Xia Lian saw that the people of the Snow Lotus Sect had no objections, so he breathed a sigh of relief, remained silent, and secretly used clever means to hide the Jiuding True Sutra, ordered people to prepare a banquet, and served rare and exotic foods, all of which were served in a glass jade plate; The crowd drank and feasted, and there was a burst of joy and celebration, and there was a lot of talk.

When the banquet was over, Xia Lian wanted to arrange a room for everyone to live in the Chaoxia Building, Jiuying was extremely polite, smiled and excused, saying that there was something important to do, and it was inconvenient to stay here. In desperation, Xia Lian sent Jiuying and the others out of the tower all the time, and then said goodbye.

Back in the tower, Zhemei ordered someone to settle Pang Bo Haosheng, and followed Xia Lian to the top floor meeting hall with Lifeng, Xia Lian didn't wait for the two to sit down, and immediately asked: "Zhemei, Lifeng, according to your opinion, what is the strength of this Snow Lotus Sect?"

Zhemei got along with Goshawk and Li Shuxiu for many days, and although she was grateful to them, she did not treat them as close friends, she said: "Don't underestimate it, that Ah Xiu is holding a divine sword, once she makes a move, it is unstoppable, and even the four ghosts of the Ghost Sword Gate can't beat her." Although the goshawk is full of big words, his subordinates also have real kung fu, and they are full of ghost ideas, and even the ghost hunt and ghost shadow died under his conspiracy. And Jiuying looks benevolent and righteous, but this person is by no means simple, especially the palm technique of one hand is extremely exquisite, I think his kung fu is not under the master of escape. ”

Xia Lian's face was full of caution, and said: "They have now formed a blood feud with the Ghost Sword Sect, and since then they have become the enemies of the Ghost Sword Sect. Now that we have the Jiuding True Scripture, the kung fu of the Ghost Sword Gate is no longer to be feared. At this time, this Snow Lotus Sect has become a top confidant. ”

Li Feng smiled: "Senior Brother Qiyu and their Narcissus Protector Li Shuxiu seem to be extremely close, if we can make Senior Brother Qiyu pretend to her a little, maybe we can get her to our side." ”

Zhe Mei hurriedly shook her head and said, "Li Shuxiu and the goshawk have a close relationship, and Senior Brother Qiyu is cold by nature, so he will never do such a thing. However, as far as I can see, the goshawk is impatient and lustful, and although he is called a brother to the master of the door, there seems to be a lot of dislike between him. He is extremely obsessed with the sister of the Nine Infant Sect Master, and I think the two of them quarrel with each other a lot for that woman. ”

Xia Lian showed a gloomy look, thought for a moment, and said, "Zhemei, I want you to stab this news to the Ghost Sword Gate unknowingly. ”

Lifeng and Zhemei are both good at conspiracy and calculation, as soon as they heard this, they immediately applauded in unison, Zhemei smiled and said: "Uncle Xia, do you want to watch the fire from the other side and kill people with a knife?"

Xia Lian smiled: "Yes, this Snow Lotus Sect has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, but our Chaoxialou and the Immortal Sword Sect can't make a move against them, so it's better to use the Ghost Sword Gate to pick the Snow Lotus Sect first, and then go and wipe out the Ghost Sword Gate while they are both defeated." He took out the Jiuding Sutra from his arms, stroked it lovingly, and said: "The ancestor of the Ghost Sword Sect has only learned the swordsmanship on the Jiuding Sutra, and he has been able to laugh and be proud of the invincible opponents in the rivers and lakes, and he has not tasted defeat all over the world." If we can practice all the martial arts above, it is incredible. ”

The three of them applauded in unison, their eyes full of greed and joy

Jiuying led the goshawk and Ah Xiu through the bustling streets, came to an inn, and was sure that no one was following behind him, so he walked into the inn and asked for three upper rooms. He said to Li Shuxiu: "Ah Xiu, you go back to your room to sleep first, my eldest brother and I still have some things to discuss." ”

Li Shuxiu thought of the forced rain, his heart was depressed, and he didn't ask much, he glanced at the goshawk, his eyes were pitiful, and then he flew away.

Jiuying and the goshawk pushed open the door, and the goshawk suddenly sensed that something was wrong, drew his long sword, pointed at one place, and shouted, "Who is hiding inside?"

I only heard the nine foxes laugh in the dark, light the candles, revealing her charming and moving face, she was wearing a night corset, slender waist, bright eyes and bright teeth, bright and beautiful. The goshawk breathed a sigh of relief, put the sword into the sheath, and said, "It turned out to be you, and I almost stabbed it with a sword." ”

Jiuhu said angrily: "You are so reckless, if you hurt my face, how can you compensate me?"

Seeing that she was coquettish, Goshawk's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't answer for a while. Jiuhu stared at him, shook his head and said, "Big brother, if the two of us make a show in the future, you are so indifferent, it won't work." If you want to pretend to be a wicked and traitor, you have to work hard. ”

Goshawk said: "If my goshawk is not in a state of mind, I can't play my acting skills, I can't do it now, but I will definitely live up to expectations in the future, and I promise to play the drunken and chaotic villain vividly." ”

Jiuhu smiled: "Then you have to work harder, if you can deceive the Ghost Sword Sect and the Fairy Sword Sect and help us achieve great things, maybe I will fake it and fall in love with you." ”

The goshawk shuddered, frightened that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, shaking his head again and again: "Excuse me, excuse me! I can't afford it, little brother." ”

The two were still laughing, Jiuying coughed and asked, "Sister, you passed the book a few days ago and asked me to come here immediately, what is the purpose?"

The goshawk glared and said, "Wow, it turns out that you are not here to answer us, but have something else!"

Jiuying laughed and confessed: "I know that the eldest brother and Ah Xiu have unpredictable abilities, and I am extremely relieved of you, so I didn't walk with you." Who knows, didn't I help you out later? Big brother, don't be surprised. ”

Jiuhu pondered for a moment and said: "I received a tip-off that these self-proclaimed chivalrous men of the Fairy Sword Sect actually had an extremely unseemly major incident in the past two days, and they almost sent all the masters in the sect, so they couldn't spare their hands. They had just finished the incident, so they were able to send the storm to help. ”

Jiu Ying let out an "oh" and asked, "What is so important?"

With a mocking smile on his face, the Nine Foxes said, "Their master of the sect has escaped, and together with the guardian master of the country, King Antlers, Cuiwei Fairy Shi Nan, and all the masters in the sect, they will accompany one of the princes of the Tartars to the Golden Horde, and discuss the matter of armistice with the envoys of the other four khanates. ”

When the goshawk heard the word "heather", his mind was confused for a while, and he thought to himself: "I seem to have heard of this person somewhere, but why is my impression so vague? But he immediately came to his senses and shouted at the same time as Jiu Ying: "This Immortal Sword Sect is actually a lackey of the Mongolian Tartars?"

The goshawk suddenly realized and said: "No wonder after Yangzhou City surrendered to the Yuan soldiers, the rain will be rescued by the Immortal Sword Sect, it turns out that this Immortal Sword Sect is the vanguard of the Tartar faction into the city. ”

The Nine Foxes sighed: "When they surrendered to the Tartars, they were even earlier than the Ghost Sword Gate. But our Snow Lotus Sect is no better. Didn't you hold the gold medal given to you by the county lord of Jiuhe, and swindle everywhere?"

Jiu Ying said embarrassedly: "I am a delaying tactic, an expedient measure, to use the hands of the Tartars to strengthen our Snow Lotus Sect, and there is a world of difference between them and the Immortal Sword Sect." ”

Jiuhu chuckled and said, "I don't think it's any different." After a pause, he said: "These Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty broke up unhappily with the Tartars of the other four khanates, and they just arrived at Qinhuang Mansion the day before yesterday. ”

Jiu Ying asked: "Sister, you called me here for this matter? The Tartars have a bad relationship with the four khanates, for us, it is a godsend, and it is too late to be happy, do we still have to help them reconcile?"

Nine Fox said quietly: "Among this group of Tartars, there is a female Tartar who is really good-looking, and it is said that she is a stunning beauty. She is usually fine, and likes to give important gold medals to the little white face outside. And at this moment, she also happened to live in Qinhuang Mansion. ”
