176 Fragrance
Sitting on the bow of the boat, on the empty river, with stars above and a breeze in the air. Spruce said: "A few years ago, Xiang'er was no longer a free body. After a pause: "She is the Eagle King's person." ”
"You talk nonsense!"
"Didn't you see Xiang'er's appearance?" Spruce sighed deeply: "She has suffered all kinds of torture from the Lotus Palace, and she won't live long. Xie Gang was shocked when he heard this, and Spruce held her down: "She just wants to die quietly in the arms of the man she loves the most." He said in a solemn tone: "The Eagle King is willing to fulfill her, so don't bother you anymore." ”
"Then I'm ......" Xie Gang said, falling on the deck: "What am I? I know and know her, although the master and the master disagree, but my heart is full of only her, only her." Speaking of which, the tough guy couldn't stand his grievances and cried sadly. Crying, he said: "I was also trapped in the Lotus Palace for her, the Lotus Palace Lord's bloody array did not trap me, and I was willing to be caught by the Lotus Palace for her and became a prisoner." ”
Cheng and Yun listened patiently to him.
In the cabin, the Eagle King said to Xiang'er, "Did you hear everything?"
Xiang'er shook her head. In the Lotus Palace these days, in addition to whipping, there are other tortures. If you lift up your sleeves, trouser legs, or placket, your body is densely covered with the marks of snake teeth. It was all bitten by a snake with three fingers wide and a venomous sac. Each snake's teeth were like small steel knives, biting into her flesh one bite at a time. She was punished by a snake of all evils!
Many of the wounds were infected, and before the spruce could save her, she was dizzy and hot. At this moment, nestled in the eagle king's arms, she didn't want to see or listen to anything at all, and she didn't even think about it.
The boat sent them to the border of western Hunan Province, and thirty-six horsemen prepared carriages and waited on the flat ground. Xiang'er walked with the Eagle King. First I took a carriage, and then I arrived at a Zhuangzi with golden eyes. A man dressed as a farmer greeted the Eagle King, and the Eagle King smiled and replied to him like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. It's all about "wheat", "silver money", and it mentions "this Zhuangzi will be yours from now on". There seem to be words like "alchemy" and "weapons". However, Xiang'er didn't have the strength to think about it again.
Most of the time, he was with her. Just like a few years ago, she was in Tsinghua Bay, which was overgrown with lilies, and he was wearing clothes that were softer and cleaner than white clouds. She likes to snuggle in his arms the most, and he, at this time, at that time, is the same gentleness and affection.
I vaguely heard the singing: "The mountain is long, the water is long, and the night comes and the dream suddenly returns to the hometown......" Xiang'er hummed along. Humming and humming, the flowers are gone, and the fragrance of the flowers is gone. His face was still there, but his embrace was empty.
Xiang'er whispered: "I, this is going to sleep." ”
So he kissed her.
In front of him stretched out was farmland that had had had enough. In a few days, the tenants of the farm will start plowing the fields and planting autumn rice. The Eagle King's heart has always been so soft, and he looks forward to being able to give every woman who longs for love the greatest comfort he can give.
Sun Qiyuan, who was already the owner of this farm, came over with a pair of scissors: "Lord, everything is already ready." The Eagle King picked up Xiang'er, who had died, and followed him to a trellis made of countless fresh white lilies. There was a bed in the shed, and the Eagle King placed the dead incense on it. At the head of the bed, under the bedboard, there are neatly cut ice cubes.
Sun Qiyuan said: "In seven days, the body will not be broken." ”
It is the rule that people should stop for seven days when they die.
Seven days later, the Eagle King personally buried Xiang'er. There were a lot of jade jewels in the coffin, and some gold and silver were also placed. After the tomb was repaired, many lilies were planted on the cemetery.
Sun Qiyuan said: "With this Zhuangzi in one day, this cemetery will not be wasted." ”
The Eagle King smiled and left with him. When he came to the inside of Zhuangzi and stood in front of a newly renovated blue brick house, the Eagle King said, "Your letter should arrive in Qiandu early." Your master believes in your words, and in a few days there will be a will summon you to Beijing. ”
Sun Qiyuan said: "He Qianren pretended to be 'Danshi' and privately made iron and steel. In the underground workshop of Chengbi Yuan, there are thousands of spears and spears. This is all for the future of his master. ”
"I don't mean to fight with anyone. The Eagle King said, "But my own brother Yingyeol is in Kyoto." After a pause, he continued: "I have to get out myself, and it is best to get out of my body." Otherwise, if the fish dies and the net is broken, and they can only blame themselves for being ruthless and unjust, and breaking the contract first!"
Cheng Yitian took the spruce and Xie Gang to Huarong first.
Huarong's Jade Bird Terrace is facing the most serious blow in history. The blow was almost devastating. Shangguan Jiannan, the owner of the Sword Village, sat in the hall of the main house in the backyard, and on the table in front of him, there was the account book of the Blue Bird Terrace over the years.
What Shangguan Jiannan focused on was the exchanges between Yuxing Hall, Qujiang Hall and Lotus Palace in recent years. From the first year, there were only 2,000 taels of silver, and then 50,000 taels were paid to the Lotus Palace Jade Bird Terrace (once called Citalot) every year.
Fifty thousand taels, two classes is one hundred thousand taels. For this amount alone, the two churches of Yuxing and Qujiang were given for two years.
Shangguan Jiannan closed the account book and said to Liu Wuxin, who was pressed to his knees: "If you sell your whole child, can you afford to pay me back?"
Xiaoluo Yingjian Ding Yi led the people and put the house deed and title deed in front of the master.
Shangguan Jiannan asked Liu Wuxin to make a note now, and all the houses under the name of Jade Bird Terrace, as well as the land in the countryside, were all transferred to the ownership of Jiangnan Sixteen Hall.
Liu Wuxin said, "If you kill me now, won't you just kill me?"
Ding Yi stood beside him and sneered: "Do you think that only the Lotus Palace Lord will rectify you people?" Looking at both sides, Jian Zhuang's subordinates wrapped a white silk around Liu Wuxin's neck, and each person held one head and pulled it hard. Pull Liu Wuxin's tongue sticks out very long, let go, and after a while, pull again.
In this way, repeated several times, so particular about a woman - Aunt Liu, the director of the Blue Bird Terrace, is incontinent together. On the verge of death and can't die happily, she is tormented by life and death, and her image is ruined - no matter how strong a woman is, she can't stand it.
Liu Wuxin lay on the ground and cried bitterly: "I write, I write." ”
Xiao Luo Yingjian personally placed the generous plate holding the pen and ink inkstone in front of her.
The ownership of the houses here is indeed owned by Liu Wuxin, and the land in the countryside was purchased by Liu Wuxin in his own name, and the amount of silver stipulated by the Lotus Palace Lord was handed over on an annual basis. Shangguan Jiannan ate her, and the account books exchanged with Yuxingtang and Qujiangtang were indeed only owned by Jade Bird Terrace. Liu Wuxin had no choice but to write a letter of transfer in 1510, transferring the Jade Bird Terrace and the private manor Water Lotus Village, as well as more than 130 acres of land in the countryside, to Jiangnan Sixteen Churches.
Shangguan Jiannan carefully checked the documents she had written, and instructed Ding Yi to go to Huarong County now, and the government would be fair. When Ding Yi came back from the county office, the eldest lady Yan Wushuang rushed in from outside happily.
As soon as he came in, Yan Wushuang shouted, "Dad, Dad!" and ran to Shangguan Jiannan's side: "Senior Brother Xie is back." ”
Shangguan Jiannan showed that he doted on this daughter very much, stroked her hair, and said with a pleasant face: "Yes, you just went out for a while, and someone found it?"
Yan Wushuang pursed his lips and blushed, twisted his hands behind his back and said, "You will laugh at me." ”
Shangguan Jiannan looked up to the sky and laughed "haha".
Seeing that the Blue Bird Terrace had actually changed hands, Cheng Yitian and Spruce suddenly realized. Miss Yan Wushuang, who doesn't even have the level of a half-ass, what ability does she have to smell the information of Xiangxi Huagong from Liu Wuxin's mouth? She must have suffered a loss in Jade Bird Terrace, and her father brought her senior brother and a cadre of subordinates to come out for her.
The owner of the sword village has no benefit, and when it spreads to the rivers and lakes in the future, he will definitely laugh off his big teeth. And a few years ago, Liu Wuxin, together with the sisters Meng Yaoxian and Meng Shenxian, who had gradually taken control at that time, did seek huge benefits from the Sixteen Halls of Jiangnan. Now, as the chief helmsman of the Sixteenth Hall in Jiangnan, Shangguan Jiannan has to get the money back as much as possible for his subordinates, which is understandable.
In the name of performing arts, Jade Bird Terrace has actually achieved control over those people by grasping the lustful hearts of some important people in sects and organizations, and then completely mastering those sects and organizations.
Jianzhuang went out and cleaned up this gang of promiscuous women, which is still a merit.
Spruce was more straightforward, lowered his voice and whispered to Cheng Yitian: "With one stone, this unparalleled girl's father has made a lot of money." ”
Cheng Yitian shook his head lightly at her, signaling her not to talk too much about others on other people's territory.
Yan Wushuang was unscathed, Xie Gang was delivered safely, and Cheng Yitian took the spruce together by the lotus pond in Water Lotus Village to bid farewell to the owner of Jianzhuang.
In the lotus pond, the lotus leaves are in the field, and the pink lotus flowers are scattered among them, like stars in the blue sky.
Shangguan Jian South Africa was with Cheng Yitian for the first time, he looked at the spruce that was inseparable from Cheng Yitian, and said to Cheng Yitian: "Cheng Gongzi, still remember that the weather is cold, are we in Wujiaping?" Two hands wrapped Cheng Yitian's hands and paused hard.
Spruce said, "I'll go over there and wait for you." "Take care of yourself and leave the pond and wait for the rockery next to the green shade leading to the door.
Cheng Yitian saw her off, turned his head to Shangguan Jiannan and said: "Thank you for your love, the owner of the village will give you a good gift, no matter what the content is, please forgive me for not being blessed." ”
"Do you really want to marry someone from humble background?"
Cheng Yitian stared at Shangguan Jiannan, and only laughed for a long time, and said, "Just don't be cold." Arching his hand: "Farewell!" said without saying anything, turned around and left.
Xiao Luoying Jian walked out from behind several dragon grasping acacia trees that grew together, and said to Shangguan Jiannan: "I don't know how to lift up like this, Master, what should I do?"
"What do you say?" Shangguan Jiannan glanced at himself, and was very willing to follow his disciple in everything.
Ding Yi said: "You can't be a friend, you can only be an enemy." Sixteen halls and Xixin Building, Jianzhuang and Yicheng, Jiangnan area, only one can be left. ”
"And what about the Lotus Palace Master?" Shangguan Jiannan said coldly.
"That kind of jumping clown, this martial arts conference can be served in one pot!" Speaking of this, Ding Yi cautiously looked at the master: "There is a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Master and the Lotus Palace Master, do they actually know each other?"
Shangguan Jiannan actually laughed: "How did you see it?"
Ding Yi said: "With your wisdom, Master, if you don't know each other, how can you blindly tolerate her, and finally allow her power to grow to such a point? ”
Shangguan Jiannan neither affirmed nor denied, and was silent for a while before he said quietly: "In the current situation, what do you think is the best way to do it?"
"Be the first to join forces with King Jing!"
Shangguan Jiannan motioned for him to continue.
"The master of the Lotus Palace has no talent and no virtue, and he has some sustenance, but he is just the power of King Jing of Qiandu. And we only need to win King Jing over, and the Lotus Palace, the place south of the Yangtze River, will no longer have a foothold. ”
"How can I join forces with King Jing smoothly?"
"Take the initiative to lead the ironclad army into the village. Seeing that the master changed color, Ding Yi hurriedly explained: "King Jing wants to do that thing, and his ambition is as strong as iron." Even if we don't agree, the Ironclad Army will still be stationed in Jianzhuang. Observing Shangguan Jiannan's face, he became more and more cautious and said, "Master's concern, could it be that what do they think of the abbot of Tianci?"
At this time, Shangguan Jiannan was not hypocritical: "Those who have become big things, why do you have to be careful?" Turning around and facing the lotus pond, the owner of the Sword Village secretly made up his mind: "Lotus Palace, Yicheng, the owner of the village will clean you up one by one!"
Since the battle of the Broken Sky Cliff twenty years ago, there has never been a big event in the martial arts. The time for the meeting came quickly, all the six major sects gathered together, and the sixteen halls of Jiangnan led by Shangguan Jiannan attended as the host, from south to north, Diancang faction, Hengshan faction, Taishan faction, Tang Gate, Xuanmen, Golden Dao Gate, Murong family, Mengjiabao, and finally, the beggar gang with disciples all over the world, the gang leader He Donglei, also came together with the appointment. In addition, many stragglers who do not form gangs and gangs come to join in the fun. In the sword village, it can be said that the heroes gathered. Inside the Zhuangzi, the storage room that has not been used for 20 years has been cleaned out, and the two newly made stools are framed with wooden planks, which are beds. Of course, there are good rooms and good beds, but only those who have to be qualified and ranked in the martial arts have to live, such as Shaolin abbot Tianci, Wudang head Qingfeng, which is the best guest room in the village, three rooms with hugging buildings, plus a small courtyard, and the disciples under the door live comfortably.
There are only so many people, their own power is not small, but they are not recognized, the final event has been confirmed to participate, but going to Jianzhuang to live temporarily, in the end there is still no room for them.
For example, the Lotus Palace.
For example, Yicheng.
and the most mysterious of all, the Blackwing Eagle King.
Three days later, the unprecedented scale of the martial arts conference officially began, and the martial arts heroes who had reached Jianzhuang got up early in the morning, finished eating, and went to a very open terrain in the mountains. Jianzhuang arranged the venue here in advance, in addition to paving a flat martial arts arena with fine yellow sand, a number of pergolas for watching the battle were built with thick wood and thick canvas around it.
The shed in the south direction is the main family seat, and Shaolin and Wudang are on the right and left of the main family seat respectively. The other four major sects are separated in pairs, and the ones that are close to the six major sects are arranged in turn on the right: Xuanmen, Tangmen, Murong Shijia, and Mengjiabao; on the left: Taishan, Hengshan, Diancang, and Jindaomen; due north is occupied by beggars. Surrounded by four hodgepodge pergolas on both sides, there are also three special seats. One was left for Lotus Palace, one was left for Yicheng, and one was just guessing if most people didn't know it.
The people of Yicheng immediately went up the mountain, causing a lot of commotion. Ouyang Mutong, the head of Qingcheng, Zheng Xiaofeng, the head of the Huashan faction, and Murong Jue, the second son of the Murong family, all took the case. Meng Jiabao also attended this grand meeting with the second young master, which was the younger brother of the original young master Meng Songxian-Meng Songcheng. Meng Songcheng practiced very well with one hand, and when he rushed to the front of Sijie, he was about to rob people.
Who to rob?
Dressed in a pink-purple spruce garment with flowers!
Although he is not very familiar with the description of spruce, the woman who appeared next to Yicheng Gongzi is so charming and beautiful, who else is there besides the femme fatale?
Ding Yi led the disciples of Jianzhuang to stop between the two parties.
Ding Yi said loudly to Ouyang Mutong and the others: "Everyone, young masters, please be restless!" The little whirlwind Xie Gang, who returned safely, swept away the haze for days, and helped the senior brother to say in the same direction: "Today's event is a grand event, no matter what it is, wait until the grand event is over!"
"You can still talk about a bird when the event is over!" The baby son died, and the head of the dignified Qingcheng faction was not afraid to explode in front of everyone. "Wait until this woman is killed, and then open the North-South Martial Arts Conference!" Ouyang Mu shouted angrily.
Zheng Xiaofeng's pain of losing his son is the same as him: "That's right!
A melodious piano sound came from outside the venue, and then the Lotus Palace Master, dressed in light golden palace clothes, surrounded by five-colored maids, arrived.
The people present are all Jianghu guests, and they have already been shaken when they see a beautiful woman, so many warblers and Yanyan appear, how can the heartstrings not be stirred?
Xiao Jinghong said loudly: "Everyone who came to Jianzhuang together is a guest of Jianzhuang, and the heads and young masters are so faceless, don't you take the owner of Jianzhuang in your eyes?"
Ouyang Mutong hated her the most, and took a sip: "I don't know the origin of this North-South Martial Arts Conference!"
The abbot of Tianci finally couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted: "Ouyang Master!" Sandwiched the internal strength of the lion's roar of the Buddhist Gate, the tone was not high, but the voice was like a muffled thunder, from near to far, and finally rolled on the entire field.
Ouyang Mutong, Zheng Xiaofeng, etc., if they don't give it to others, they can't help but give face to Abbot Tianci. Tianci stood in his pergola and said, "Don't be impatient, everything makes sense!"
Xiao Jinghong watched Ouyang Mutong and the others collect their weapons coldly, and then said, "Do you still think that you can be like last year? Just by virtue of your prestige and status in this martial arts, you will judge others in vain?" As soon as the words fell, I only heard the sound of dense footsteps on the mountain road. On the hillside around Pingba, there are many soldiers in bright armor. A middle-aged man dressed in official costumes brought another team to Pingba. Behind him, there is also a small sedan chair. The sedan chair bearer looks five big and three thick, the "squeak" sedan chair is lifted up, the sedan chair falls to the ground, the handrail is removed, the front bar falls crookedly, and a girl wearing a blue feather gauze dress bows her head and comes out of the sedan chair.
A middle-aged man in an official uniform saluted the girl in blue.
The girl in blue came to the center of the arena with her toes high.
The martial arts heroes who were shocked by this unexpected accident couldn't hold back their whispers for a long time, and at this moment, they jumped out of the pergola with a violent temperament and shouted: "That little girl, aren't you and these officials and masters also together?"
The girl in blue is none other than Hua Shuqi. When she took the whip, she was in the middle of the scene, and her figure was fluttering, and she had come not far from the person who spoke.
The guy who spoke was from Henan, surnamed Zhang, named Hao, who was born in the river, met a capable person, learned martial arts and became a ranger.
Zhang Hao, if he officially ends the competition at this time, he is prepared, and against Hua Shuqi, he will not be defeated all at once. However, there is such a thing as the rules of the rivers and lakes, which can restrain them who claim to be tough guys, but they can't restrain girls like Hua Shuqi. Without saying hello, Zhang Hao had already lost the opportunity. In addition, Hua Shuqi has been practicing quite diligently recently, and her strange body style has been like a ghost.
Zhang Hao is not a master, and his cheeks are straightened.
Hua Shuqi swung her whip, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him out of the pergola. Zhang Hao seemed to have a broken pocket, flew up, and fell in the martial arts arena. Hua Shuqi flicked her wrist and took the whip.
Poor Zhang Hao was forced to roll all the way on the ground, and when he could be his own master, he turned over from the ground and stood up, with a thick blood mark on his cheek, a blue nose and swollen face, his hair was scattered, his clothes were disheveled, and he was covered in sand.
The field was quiet for a while, and Hua Shuqi said in a crisp voice: "Han Yu Zhangdu of the Shangwu Sect is here, and he doesn't see the ranks, so I think I want to cover the imperial court?"
Rough as Zhang Hao's friend, it is still noisy in retrospect. Hua Shuqi glanced at Han Yuzhang, Han Yuzhang waved his hand, and the soldiers he brought pulled out their swords and rushed over.
When Xiao Jinghong saw it, she hurriedly said, "Shuqi, forget it." ”
Hua Shuqi glanced at Han Yuzhang again.
Han Yuzhang shouted: "Stop!" The soldiers who rushed over were all strictly trained, and they immediately ran back together with a gesture.
Xiao Jinghong said loudly to the main seat: "Master Shangguan Zhuang, don't you still invite Han Duwei to take a seat?"
Shangguan Jiannan smiled "hehe": "Naturally!" personally stepped forward and invited Han Yuzhang, the captain of Shangwumen, into the main house, and also introduced Tianci, Qingfeng and other leaders. Han Yuzhang is also interesting, and he did not put up a shelf in this situation. Tianci and the others are all highly respected people in the martial arts world, and they are not officials in the People's Congress, so they came to meet the captain of the martial arts. He, the captain of the martial arts sect, knew that his ability and influence were much inferior, and when he returned the salute, he bowed to the ground, which made Tianci, Qingfeng and others quite satisfied.
The new guests were all arranged, and Shangguan Jiannan began to speak: "Rank, a martial arts event that has not been held in the past 20 years, is now held in our place, and Shangguan is very honored." The contemptible is the host, and here is a small suggestion: if the past has not been resolved, the contemptible thinks that it is better to solve it first. He looked at Han Yuzhang, the commander of the Shangwu Sect: "What do you say, Duwei? Once the North-South Martial Arts Alliance is established, it will be a situation of persuasion and not persuasion. Participants, it is better to settle the accounts first, so that they can be organized later. ”
Han Yuzhang didn't dare to make decisions.
Fortunately, there is a Hua Shuqi next to him. Listening to Shangguan Jiannan's words, Hua Shuqi couldn't help but snort softly. The so-called "past events", isn't it what happened in Yuezhou Xixinlou, and it is the most closely related to her? Just now, Qingcheng and other factions wanted to fight Yicheng, but they were suppressed by the Lotus Palace Lord, and at this time, Shangguan Jiannan wanted to deliberately divide the boundary between Kai and the Lotus Palace Lord. She was supposed to be on the side of the Lotus Palace. However, think about the inhuman treatment he has received in the Lotus Palace, and the rights he has now. Hua Shuqi's heart was beating faster, and she tried her best to keep her hand on her knees from shaking too much.
She turned her face to Yicheng's side, and spoke to Han Yuzhang: "Han Duwei will speak, this Zisha is my enemy, no matter what, I agree with the proposal of the owner of Shangguan Zhuang!"
On Yicheng's side, Du Boyang said loudly to the Lotus Palace Master: "Palace Master Xiao, don't forget what happened twenty years ago. ”
Xiao Sanlang said to Shangguan Jiannan: "Master Shangguan Zhuang, it is convenient for you to be with others, you don't push others too much, and finally lift a stone to hit your own feet." ”
Ouyang Mutong, the head of Qingcheng, and Zheng Xiaofeng, the head of Huashan, are both eyeing each other, because they have just received the advice of the abbot of Tianci, they have withdrawn their swords, and they can't go back on their word at this time, they can only look at the others - Meng Songcheng, the second young master of Mengjiabao, and Murong Jue, the second young master of the Murong family.
Murong Jue was a son-in-law, and he was silent for a long time, forcing Meng Songcheng, the second young master of Mengjiabao, to jump out: "Then it's up to me to settle this past in advance, so that the North-South Martial Arts Conference can be officially held." ”
