At the gate of Qijiazhuang, Ximen Tong came once yesterday, and there have been some changes when he comes back today.

The two black lacquer doors are wide open, and the gold-lettered plaque of "Iron Elephant Qi Gate" on the forehead of the door has not changed, but there are two more red couplets on the pillars next to the door, which read:

The so-called "three mountains and two rivers" refers to the three mountain ranges of Kunshan, Taihang and Wangwu in northern Henan, as well as the two rivers of the Yellow River and Luohe, while the "five mansions" are the five prefectures of Kaifeng, Henan, Zhangde, Weihui and Huaiqing.

Outside the gate, there were not only the two Zhuang Ding from yesterday, but at least fifty or sixty people, all of whom were disciples of the "Iron Elephant Gang" who knew how to welcome guests. In addition to the people in the sect, there are also two rows of gong and drum bands, which are very lively.

Ximen Hitomi and Mo Yu were still dressed as rich sons and little maids, and they came to the door to hand over the invitation, and the disciples of the "Iron Elephant Gang" who were in charge of the reception asked, "Is Zunjia a 'bad dog boy'?"

Ximen Hitomi said: "The family teacher Hua Bushi is unwell and can't come, and below is his third disciple Ximen Hitomi." ”

The disciple let out an "oh" and said, "It turned out to be Ximen Shaoxia, please follow me to the banquet hall and sit down." ”

Qijiazhuang is full of lights, the arrangement is very grand, enter the village gate is a wide stone path, go straight through the two gates, is the banquet hall in the village.

I saw that there were ten large tables of eight immortals in the hall, and there were twenty or thirty large round tables in the huge courtyard outside the hall, and some of the wine and food on the table had already been placed, and many people were sitting around eating and drinking.

The welcoming disciple led the two Ximen Hitomi to the banquet hall, stopped in front of an empty table of eight immortals, bowed down and said, "Please sit down." ”

The seats at each table in the hall were obviously arranged in advance, and although the place where Ximen Hitomi sat was not the main table in the center, it was the first table in the east, which shows that the person who arranged the seats for this banquet also attached great importance to the "evil dog gate".

Ximen Hitomi sat down at the table, and the disciples who greeted the guests immediately retreated, and soon the waiter brought the wine and food. Mo Yu pretended to be a maid ring, and he couldn't sit down, only standing beside Ximen Hitomi.

"Little Sister Mo, now that we have entered the village, do you find anything wrong?" asked Ximen Hitomi with a smile.

Mo Yu said: "No." However, if the 'Iron Elephant Gang' really had a conspiracy, it would certainly not be so easy to reveal the flaws, and it is only natural that we have not discovered it now. ”

Ximen Tong said: "Really, then Mo Xiaomei thinks that the wine and food on this table will be poisoned?"

Mo Yu said: "Young Master Hua is proficient in medicine, and he must have taught Ximen Gongzi the method of distinguishing poison, why do you need to ask me if the wine and food are poisonous." ”

Ximen Hitomi grinned and said, "That's true, I've made sure that there is no poison in this wine." I haven't been able to drink alcohol these days, and today it's rare to have a wine that doesn't cost money and is not poisonous, so I must drink a few glasses of it. ”

He picked up a glass of wine, put it to his lips and drank it all, although he didn't look back at Mo Yu, but he thought in his heart that this little girl's expression must be grinning now, which is very exciting.

Ximen Hitomi was not such a shallow and proud person, but he has been competing with Mo Yu for the past few days, but he has always fallen into the disadvantage, and he really has a sullen stomach and nowhere to vent, at this time there is an opportunity for Mo Yu to be angry, and he will not let it go.

But at this time, I heard a coquettish voice say: "This son is invited, I wonder if the concubine can have the honor to sit at the same table with the prince and conspire to get drunk?"

Ximen Hitomi turned his head to look, but saw that the person who spoke was a beautiful woman in her twenties, with phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, and eyes like autumn water. A disciple of the "Iron Elephant Gang" stood aside, and it was obvious that this beauty was brought to the table by him.

The disciple of the Zhike introduced: "This Huang Biyun girl is the female owner of the 'Qixia Village' in Ruzhou, and this is the Ximen Shaoxia of the 'Evil Dog Gate' in Xiangxi. ”

Although "Qixiazhuang" is located in the remote Zhangde Mansion, it is also a small sect of Shili in the local area, and the "Rouyun Knife Dance" inherited is said to be a superior knife technique that only women can practice. Before Ximen Tong traveled, Hua Bushi had told him about the situation of more than a dozen larger Jianghu sects in northern Henan, and this "Qixiazhuang" was also one of them.

I saw that this Huang Biyun was wearing a lotus-blue wide-sleeved tight-fitting silk smock, and the lower body was a water-blue smoke gauze loose flower skirt, with shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and a slender figure, but I couldn't see where her knife was hidden. And her outfit is more like a girl from a big family, but it is not like a martial artist in the Jianghu sect.

Ximen Hitomi stood up and arched his hand and said, "In the lower Ximen Hitomi." The owner of Huang Zhuang does not need to be polite, please sit down. ”

Huang Biyun smiled skillfully and said: "The concubine has heard that the 'Evil Dog Five Littles' has been famous for a long time, and it is really a blessing to see the demeanor of Ximen Shaoxia today!

In the past one or two years, with the rise and expansion of the "Evil Dog Gate", the fame of the five small schools in the rivers and lakes has become much louder than before. The female owner of "Qixia Village" is so invisible, and I don't know if it's really because of the fame of the five little ones, or because of the handsome appearance of Ximen Hitomi.

The expression on Ximen Tong's face did not change, and he said indifferently: "Miss Biyun is serious, Ximen Tong really doesn't dare to take it." ”

This time, the "Luohan Gate" held a hero's banquet in Huaiqing, and there were as many as forty or fifty gangs of all sizes, and almost all the Jianghu sects in northern Henan were invited, and the gang disciples of the various factions who came to the banquet were as many as three or four hundred.

The ten Eight Immortal Tables in the banquet hall of Qijiazhuang are prepared for the principals of these many sects, and also to facilitate the heads of each family to discuss during the banquet, and the twenty or thirty large round tables placed in the courtyard outside the hall door are for many disciples of each gang to sit around and eat wine.

After Huang Biyun sat down at the table, it didn't take long for the Zhike disciples of Qijiazhuang to bring two more people one after another, and under the introduction, Fang Zhi knew that one was Sun Tiedao, the head of the "God Hit the Gate", and the other was the young hall master of the "Dahe Hall", named Li Shaoyou.

"God beats the door" is a gang in the Kaifeng Mansion, and the "Luohan Gate" is very close, the martial arts in the door is also known for boxing, this Sun Zhangmen is about forty years old, tall, a body of muscles is really strong as iron. And Li Shaoyou is a richly dressed young man, with a very chic appearance, and a long sword on his waist.

This "Dahetang" is a gang of water transport boats along the Luohe River, although I have not heard of any outstanding martial arts in its door, but it is said that its gang has as many as 1,000 people, and it can be regarded as a large gang in northern Henan.

Four people sat at the same table, Sun Tiedart's personality was old-fashioned and serious, and his natural appearance was quite majestic, and after meeting everyone, he sat there without saying a word, like an iron Buddha. That Li Shaotang Master was very talkative, and he never stopped talking as soon as he sat down, and he was even more enthusiastic and courteous to Huang Biyun, a beauty.

Li Shaoyou's conversation style is not bad, but it's a pity that Huang Biyun just dealt with him absent-mindedly and casually, but a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at Ximen Pupil from time to time.

Ximen Hitomi is the eldest young master from a merchant family, and he has seen a lot of such scenes, although he doesn't say much, he copes with it quite decently, and his demeanor is also gentle and elegant, which makes people feel good.

It was now past dusk, the sky outside had darkened, the lampstands in the hall were lit, and a row of lanterns were hung under the eaves of the courtyard to illuminate the courtyard quite brightly.

There were more and more guests arriving, and the ten Eight Immortal Tables in the banquet hall, except for the main table in the center, was still empty, and the other nine tables were already full of people, and the more than 20 round tables in the courtyard were full of disciples from various sects.

But at this moment, I saw two people walking out side by side from behind a side door in the hall, followed by five disciples in strong costumes and fierce appearances.

The man on the left is an old man over fifty years old, with a ruddy complexion, a slender-looking countenance, a goatee, and a well-dressed man, as if he were a rich man. The other person is a middle-aged fat man with a big belly, wearing a green silk short robe, with a white face and no beard, not tall, and his appearance does not look outstanding, but a pair of bones on the palms of his hands that are exposed outside the sleeves are prominent, much thicker and thicker than ordinary people, and they look very conspicuous.

As soon as these people appeared, Ximen Hitomi had already seen them, and the other three people at the same table also looked sideways almost at the same time. Although some of the principals of these sects look serious and old-fashioned, and some are crazy and frivolous, they are actually people with sharp ears and eyes, and they are not slow to react.

I only heard Huang Biyun say: "That old man must be the owner of Qi Zhuang of Qijiazhuang, but I don't know who the fat man is next to him?"

Li Shaoyou said: "That fat man's palms are thick, and the kung fu in his hands must not be weak." ”

"His name is Hu Yuankui, he is the elder of the 'Luohan Gate', and he is also Fang Changsheng's junior brother. It was Sun Tiedang, who did not smile, who spoke.

"Hu Yuankui, I've heard of this person before, but since he came out with Qi Yuanwai, couldn't it be that Fang Changsheng won't come?" asked Li Shaoyou.

Sun Tiedart said: "In the past half a month, the 'Luohan Gate' has held five or six heroic banquets in various parts of the Yu Realm, where can the head of Fang come again and again, most of these banquets are presided over by several of his junior disciples. ”

Huang Biyun frowned and said: "Fang Changsheng, as the master, posted a post inviting us and other factions to come to discuss the alliance, but he didn't come himself, and only sent an elder under the sect to preside, so he couldn't help but look down on us!"

Li Shaoyou grinned and said: "Fang Changsheng's martial arts are superb, and the 'Luohan Sect' is one of the best sects in Yu Realm, and there is the 'Shaolin Sect' as a backer, when did you put us small gangs and small factions in your eyes? I think he proposed an alliance, just to prevent our sect from being pulled over by the 'Rich Alliance'." ”
