In the Beggar Gang branch, Shaolin, Baiyun Villa, Jade Girl Palace, Golden Summit Palace, Tiexianmen, Diancang, Qingcheng, Giant Whale, Donghai, the six major sects have all arrived. Shaolin sent Master Jie to lead Shaolin The eighteen masters of Bodhidharma Academy and all their disciples were present, Baiyun Villa Luo Ao, Luo Tao and his son and the Six Swordsmen were present, the Jade Girl Palace Master Shangguan Yaner was present with the four hall masters of "Jixiang Ruyi", and the Golden Summit Palace Qingyang Master was present with The seven major disciples of the "Big Dipper" were present. Fan Zhenshan, the iron master of the Iron Gate, led the five stewards of "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth". Dian Cang, Qingcheng, Giant Whale, and Donghai were also present with their disciples.
It is worth mentioning that this time, in addition to Zhang Youqian, the head of Diancang, Feng Tao Ren, the founder of the company, also came with him. Feng Tao Ren was over one hundred and twelve years old and was an elder in the martial arts world. It was rare to see him. For a time, all the heroes were attracted by him. Pay my respects to Mr. Feng Taoist.
This Feng Taoist has a boyish face and white hair, two silver-white eyebrows hanging down from the eyebrows to his shoulders, his cheeks are slightly red, and his small eyes are hidden under the folds and he is always smiling. His smile does not look like the founder of a sect, but more like a grandfather next door. , very popular with the juniors.
Although Feng Taoist was cheerful, Zhang Youqian, the leader of Dian Cang, had a sad face, his brows were tightly knitted together and could not relax for a moment. The eldest disciple Mu Yunfeng was seriously injured and had a rift with Baiyun Villa. How can the Dian Cang sect gain a foothold in the world in the future? How can the foundation created by the founder be carried forward in his own hands? He was thinking about it, and kept patting his thighs with his two palms. He didn't look like the leader of a sect, but he seemed to be doing it for A child who is worried about schoolwork.
Seeing him like this, Feng Taoist smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Qian'er, you are almost fifty this year. People who are half a hundred have not made any progress at all. Be more stable. This world is still the same world. The six major sects, the four major families are in the same spirit, and they are all prosperous. If one loses, both will suffer.”
Zhang Youqian is worried, and Luo Ao of Baiyun Villa is also feeling uncomfortable. It is almost certain that the Beggar Gang will become the leader of this Jianghu Conference. If he has a grudge with the Beggar Gang this time, he is afraid that the Beggar Gang will be unfavorable to Baiyun Villa in the future, and even more What's more, there is a boy named Yan Zhuo under the Beggar Clan. That boy is unfathomable.
Luo Ao was originally a very noble and arrogant person. He was born in a general family and experienced troubled times. He knew very well the people's hearts in this world. How could he protect a whole family without strict laws and regulations? But at this moment, his nobility and arrogance were completely different. With a hint of haze, his heart would twitch from time to time, causing the meridians throughout his body to tremble. He had a vague feeling that something would happen in this Jianghu Conference...
"The gang leader is here!" A little beggar at the door shouted to the lobby, and then the little beggars standing in two rows shouted inward. The shouts became thicker and louder, and it was quite embarrassing to cross the mountain and the sea. Qiao Zhenyue looked a little impatient when he looked at the little beggars. He complained to Yan Zhuo: "Brother, look at what Lao Peng has done to these stupid people. I, a beggar leader, can do this." It’s like an emperor going to court.”
Yan Zhuo smiled slightly and said: "The eldest brother is the leader of the gang, and it is always good to have some dignity."
Qiao Zhenyue waved his hand, deeply disapproving.
At the entrance of the lobby, when the heroes saw Qiao Zhenyue coming back, they all stood up and said hello to each other. Qiao Zhenyue also said hello to each other and introduced them to Yan Zhuo one by one. According to the rules, they respected the first leader of the Jianghu Alliance, the Shaolin Master Jie. Taking the first seat, the Beggar Clan and other sects took their seats in turn. Yan Zhuo had a special status, so he and Peng Zhen sat behind Qiao Zhenyue respectively.
Seeing the guests seated, Qiao Zhenyue waved his hand and said: "Serve the food, serve the wine!"
"Gang leader, please say a few words, say a few words!" Peng Zhen pulled the tail of Qiao Zhenyue's clothes and whispered.
"Oh, oh." Qiao Zhenyue agreed, "Let's exchange a few words, then everyone can eat and drink well, eat meat and drink heavily, you're welcome."
When the heroes heard this, they all had smiles on their faces.
Master Liaojie said with a smile: "Chief Qiao is a hero in this world, so you don't need to care about this false courtesy."
Qiao Zhenyue was overjoyed when he saw the precepts excusing himself. However, he suddenly realized that he was not doing well and forgot to prepare a vegetarian meal for these monks. What should he do? He was at a loss for a while and said vaguely: 'Master, let's...
...let's forget...'
Before Qiao Zhenyue could finish speaking, Peng Zhenyue hurriedly stood up and said, "Instruct the cook to bring up the vegetarian meal prepared as well!"
Qiao Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at Peng Zhen, while Peng Zhen had a straight face, not even looking at his unlucky gang leader.
Yan Zhuo looked at the two brothers Qiao and Peng amused. He couldn't help but think of his brothers. He also caught a glimpse of a pair of swallows returning to their nests in front of the hall. He missed the brothers from Qingfeng Mingyue Tower even more. He didn't know where they had gone.
Enter or not enter Jinling City. Yan Zhuo picked up the wine glass and drank the full glass of sorghum in one gulp. The strong taste of the wine made his throat tight, and it also made his pale face look like a lotus.
The blush is bright but also sad.
Unlike Yan Zhuo, who had already been intoxicated by the fine wine and delicacies, the Beggar Clan invited chefs from the famous Juqingzhai restaurant in the south of the Yangtze River to cook 108 delicacies for this Jianghu gathering. The leader was Zhenjiang.
The lean meat of the hooves is bright red, and the fat meat is as white as mutton-fat jade. Put the knife and chopsticks into your mouth, and the meaty aroma will penetrate from the tip of the tongue along the saliva to the stomach, and the oil-soaked chicken is made from raw chicken repeatedly poured into the scorching heat.
Made from oil, the oil is fragrant to the bones, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. A moment after it is served, "no bones are left", as well as the smelly mandarin fish, lamb clams, silver beef and other delicacies. Not only these, Shaolin School vegetarian food
It is also carefully selected, the best dried shreds, carrots and day lilies are selected. The peppers of the tiger peppers were also picked from the field just this morning, as well as the steaming little wontons.
, although they are all vegetarian dishes, but they also responded to the saying "the soup is clear and moist, and the kiss is not too bland, you will know the taste is long after you swallow it." All the Shaolin monks except Master Jie, who was quite gentle, were all sweating profusely after eating.
Just when the heroes were getting excited after eating, a Beggar Clan disciple hurriedly ran to Peng Zhen and whispered in Peng Zhen's ear. Peng Zhen looked shocked, and then whispered in Qiao Zhenyue's ear.
After hearing this, Qiao Zhenyue frowned, licked the broth between his fingers, looked around the heroes, and finally set his sights on Yan Zhuo: "Brother, follow me."
Yan Zhuo nodded and followed Qiao and Peng away.
Under the guidance of the disciples of the Beggar Clan, the three of them walked into a small wooden house. In the small wooden house, Elder Shen Tong, who was in charge of martial arts transmission, and Elder Wu Sansheng, who was in charge of the intelligence list, were inspecting ten things on the ground.
There was a corpse. Seeing Qiao, Peng and Yan Zhuo arriving, they hurriedly got up and paid homage to Qiao Zhenyue.
Qiao Zhenyue said: "Elder Shen, Elder Wu, there is no need to be polite, just tell us what's important."
"Five of these ten people are disciples of my Beggar Clan, three are disciples of Dian Cang, and the remaining two are disciples of Qingcheng."
After Wu Sansheng finished speaking, Shen Xin continued: "These ten people were all killed by masters of swordsmanship. All ten of them were fatally wounded in the neck, but the depth of the wound was just enough to cut through the blood vessels. It was neither deep nor shallow. The killer's swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world.
No two. In my opinion, only Luo Ao of Baiyun Villa and Qingyang Zhenren of Jinding Palace have this ability. However, Jinding Palace belongs to the Taoist lineage, Qingyang Zhenren is an upright man and not bloodthirsty. Only Luo Ao of Baiyun Villa has this ability.
The most suspicious!"
Wu Sansheng said again: "These ten corpses are also consistent with the rumors about Baiyun's revenge and the ten heads in Jianghu. I also think that this matter was done by Baiyun Villa."
Peng Zhen nodded, turned his gaze to Yan Zhuo, and said, "Brother Yan, what do you think?"
Peng Zhen didn't ask the question unintentionally. He was a little suspicious of Yan Zhuo. He had seen Yan Zhuo's martial arts. Those three swallow darts could instantly pass through the abilities of two masters. Of course, they could also cut through the throats of ten people in an instant. Gang leader Su Ai Make friends with knights from all walks of life, and call them brothers from all three religions and nine streams. Although this Yan Zhuo is very skilled in martial arts, he doesn't know what his character is, so he still needs to be on guard.
"When were these people attacked?" Yan Zhuo said.
Shen Tongtong: "About sunrise this morning."
Yan Zhuo said again: "At sunrise this morning, Villa Master Luo and Senior Peng were having a huge quarrel. It should not be the fault of Baiyun Villa."
Yan Zhuo's words cleared all the suspicion between himself and Baiyun Villa.
If it's not Baiyun Villa, who could it be? A shadow hangs over everyone's heads. A martial arts competition is about to take place, but an assassin with extraordinary swordsmanship is killed at the doorstep. This time, the Beggar Gang plans to take over Shaolin and become the next leader of the Jianghu Alliance. If If this matter cannot be investigated, then the Beggar Gang, the largest gang in the world, will be disgraced. Even if he really becomes the leader of the world, he will become a joke in the world.
Qiao Zhenyue looked at the corpse on the ground, and his iron fists clenched loudly: "Don't make this matter public for now. The Jianghu Conference will be held as scheduled, and the martial arts competition will begin tomorrow morning. Elder Wu, please bring the secret disciples with me to investigate this matter thoroughly. .”
The candlelight flickers inside the wooden house, like the hearts of everyone, and like the wind outside, which is restless and noisy.
The moon is cold, the fire is dry, and people's hearts are unstable.
In the lobby, the heroes were having a good time drinking and eating meat. In the wooden house, ten Jianghu disciples died tragically, and their bones were not cold.
The rivers and lakes are big, with waves and ripples when the wind blows. Every roll brings high spirits and a young life.
Who knows the world well, but they are all young.
Under the cold moon, in the shadow of the trees, a man in black holds a sharp knife in his hand, standing on the treetops. Standing on the treetops, he is like a leaf, born to grow on the branches. The tree moves with the wind, and he moves with the tree. The wind was bone-chilling, but it was not as cold as his eyes. There was frost, snow, and murderous intent in those eyes.
The appearance of such people, like crows, always brings terror and death...
