In the hall, the banquet was held, the crowds were loud, the candlelight was red, and it was a lively atmosphere.
At the entrance of the hall, Chen Xuan was crowded among a group of beggars, and he couldn't help but feel left out.
At this moment, Yin Zhiping was seen looking around, as if looking for someone in the crowd.
Zhao Zhijing on the side sneered slightly and whispered.
"Junior Brother Yin, this hero's banquet will be hosted by Hero Guo to the heroes of the world. Do you think the Long family member will honor it?"
Yin Zhiping's face changed slightly, he picked up the tea cup and drank tea without answering.
Guo Jing didn't know they were talking about Xiao Longnu, so he asked casually.
"Long family? I wonder which hero named Long is this? Is he a friend of the two senior brothers?"
Zhao Zhijing said, "She is a good friend of Junior Brother Yin. I would not dare to make friends with her."
Guo Jing saw that the two of them looked strange and knew that they had something to hide, so he stopped asking further questions.
Chen Xuan, who was hiding in the crowd, frowned and thought to himself when he heard the two talking about Xiao Longnu.
"What little dragon girl is Yin Zhiping looking for here? Could it be that Yin Zhiping secretly went to the ancient tomb again?"
When he thought of this, Chen Xuan looked at Yin Zhiping and found it distasteful.
After all, this kid has a criminal record, which inevitably makes people think too much.
Chen Xuan was so excited that he couldn't help but take a step forward, looking for an opportunity to catch Yin Zhiping and question him. Unexpectedly, there were too many people present, and a few beggars were squeezed in to complain.
"Who?"
"Don't push me!"
"Damn it, don't step on my feet."
These beggars started making a noise. Yin Zhiping heard the noise and looked back, and happened to see Chen Xuan.
After Chen Xuan rested this night, the slap marks on his face had long since disappeared, his hair had been slightly tangled, and his original appearance could still be vaguely seen.
Yin Zhiping glanced around and recognized Chen Xuan at a glance. His heart was shocked as if he had been struck by lightning.
Zhao Zhijing followed his gaze, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily.
"Yang Guo! It's Yang Guo! This... this kid... he's here too!"
When Guo Jing heard the word "Yang Guo", he hurriedly turned his head and looked.
The two have been separated for many years, and Chen Xuan and Yang Guo have become a good man when they come back.
Guo Jing might not have recognized him originally.
But when I heard Zhao Zhijing's exclamation, I immediately recognized him. Feeling surprised and happy, I quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, saying.
"Guo'er, you're here too? I was afraid that I would have wasted your studies and didn't notify you. I didn't expect that your master would bring you here. It's really great."
In the original plot, Yang Guo defected to the Chongyang Palace as a young boy. Everyone in the Quanzhen Sect considered him a disgrace to the sect, and no one divulged a word about it, so Guo Jing knew nothing about it.
Zhao Zhijing came to the heroes banquet this time to take the opportunity to mention this matter to Guo Jing.
Unexpectedly, Yang Guo met Chen Xuan here. His face turned pale immediately, he looked up at the sky and said coldly.
"How can I dare to be Master Yang's master if I am so virtuous and capable?"
Hearing Zhao Zhijing call Yang Guo "Yang Ye", Guo Jing was shocked and asked hurriedly.
"Why did Senior Brother Zhao say this? But Guo'er didn't listen to his lesson?"
Zhao Zhijing saw all the heroes gathered in the hall. If he and Chen Xuan got into a dispute when this matter was brought up, it would probably make the Quanzhen Sect lose face and sneer in silence.
After all, if we really talk about this matter in detail, it is not only the matter of Guo Jing's defeat of the Quanzhen disciples, but also the dark history of when he and Yin Zhiping were forced to cut off their fingers and kowtow in the valley by Chen Xuan and Xiao Longnu.
Zhao Zhijing naturally didn't want to cause trouble here.
When Guo Jing saw this, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he grabbed Chen Xuan's arm and looked him up and down.
Seeing that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his clothes were in tatters, he had obviously suffered a lot and felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he couldn't help but hug him in his arms.
Even though Chen Xuan was just an unreliable Yang Guo, he couldn't help but feel his heart trembling at this moment, feeling that this hero Guo really lived up to his reputation.
In fact, the relationship between Guo Jing and Yang Kang could not be said to be very good at that time, but Guo Jing and his mother Li Ping lived together in the desert. He was taught by Li Ping since he was a child, and he was naturally generous and generous.
He is now trying to protect the Song Dynasty, all because when Li Ping was dying, he reminded him that he was a citizen of the Song Dynasty and wanted to protect the Song Dynasty.
As for the sworn brotherhood with Yang Kang, it was actually because Li Ping mentioned that his father Guo Xiaotian and Yang Kang's father Yang Tiexin were also sworn brothers, so he and Yang Kang also became sworn brothers.
Guo Jing was a man of filial piety and righteousness, especially he obeyed his mother's words. Back then, he failed to be a brother to Yang Kang, but now he is somewhat compensatory and protective towards Yang Kang's son Yang Guo.
Chen Xuan wanted to be a pure evil person, do whatever he wanted, and run rampant, but at this moment, facing Guo Juxia's sincere chivalry, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
It's just that despite being moved, he calmed down quickly.
"Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, if you follow this path, you can only go all the way to the dark side, but don't get stuck in the middle of the road and become a different person inside and out."
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Xuan's thoughts were racing in his heart, and he was deliberately indifferent. He took half a step back quietly, stepped back from Guo Jing's arms, and said indifferently.
"I'm dirty, don't soil Daxia Guo's clothes."
These two sentences were very cold, with a bit of sarcasm in their tone.
He knew in his heart that Guo Jing was honest, and now he was acting too sensible and obedient. Instead, it would be better to pretend to be young and rebellious, making Guo Jing feel guilty, and it would bring him more benefits if he could not protect everything in the future.
When Guo Jing heard his cold words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it.
"This child has no father or mother. It seems that his martial arts training in Zhongnan Mountain has not gone well these years. I am afraid he has suffered a lot."
Thinking of this, I felt more and more guilty, so I took his hand and asked him to sit at the same table with me.
Chen Xuan was originally eating swill rice with the beggars outside in the courtyard, but now he was eating at the same table as Guo Jing and these great heroes in the world.
This difference in situation is entirely due to Guo Jing's reputation, which is really ironic.
Chen Xuan intended to make Guo Jing feel guilty, so he said coldly.
"No need, what is my identity? Just go and sit outside. This hero's banquet will be complicated, so Uncle Guo should go and accompany the distinguished guests."
Guo Jing also felt that there were too many guests and it was inconvenient to ignore these comrades, so he patted him on the shoulder to express comfort and returned to the guest of honor table to toast.
Not long after, only the sound of firecrackers was heard, and the heroes meeting officially started.
However, the banquet was full of meat, wine was like streams, and the heroes were playing guessing games and drinking, or telling stories about old times. It was really lively for a while.
I don’t know how many cattle and sheep Lujiazhuang killed and how many jars of fine wine they bought in order to host this heroes conference.
Chen Xuan originally wanted to ask Yin Zhiping about Xiao Longnu, but Yin Zhiping had already gone drinking with Hao Datong and Guo Jing, so it was not easy for him to ask him face to face.
Seeing the crowds in Lujiazhuang, I don’t know how many heroes there are.
Chen Xuan was worried that the killer of the Black Horn Society was hidden among them, so he sneaked into the backyard, at least he would be able to detect it when he started to attack.
This was his first time coming to Lujiazhuang in Dashengguan, so he didn't know the way. After twists and turns, he unknowingly reached the backyard.
