Relief

Whisper rumbling.

Yueguanshan: "I went to your house in Suzhou the next day, but I didn't expect it to be sold to someone else in a blink of an eye, and you didn't even tell me! It's so embarrassing!"

Whisper rumbling.

Yueguanshan: "Third brother, let me tell you, it's a godsend for us to meet each other in Jiangling mansion just like this!"

Whisper rumbling.

Yueguanshan: "Brew and drink!! Tonight we brothers must get drunk!"

Wu Li was forcibly locked in his arms by Yue Guanshan, his face was full of lovelessness: "Hey, the dog's tail is exposed."

The prostitutes walked around the screen, their sleeves filled with fragrance, and they gracefully cuddled up to the guests with silver bottles of wine, urging them to drink with coquettish laughter.

Knowing that there is one on each side of Chang's left and right hands, both rely on him being disabled, and his behavior is extraordinarily bold and unrestrained.Xie Zhixu was wearing a thug jacket, standing behind the table like a subordinate, the girls cleverly bypassed him, he was enjoying himself at leisure, but when he saw that Feng Zhichang's clothes were about to be ripped open, Xiao Wu, who went down and hid in his clothes, was about to jump out and give each of the girls a tooth mark, so he didn't dare to watch the show right now, so he hurried forward to chase him away: "Go, go, my second son is not close to women."

Serious people are told that they often straighten their clothes with a gloomy face.

The girls were stunned for a moment, and then showed a knowing expression: "There are also a few lovely young ladies in Yuxianlou, they are young and tender enough to drip water, Mr. Bao is satisfied, so I called them here for the guests. "

Feng Zhichang: "..."

Xie Zhixu: "Wait!"

The girls threw a "understanding" wink and exited lightly.

Xie Zhixu: "..."

He lowered his head and met Shang Fengzhi's eyes of Chang's resentment.

"Can you blame me?" Xie Zhixu said innocently, "It's clear that they misunderstood themselves—drinking? Come and drink some wine, Jiangling's specialty silver bottle wine, Bao Jun is satisfied."

Feng knows that Xie Zhixu often coughs up by deliberately imitating the tone of a girl persuading him to drink. Xie Zhixu pats him on the back with a smile on his face: "I'll serve the second son a drink, and if someone comes later, I'll be responsible for chasing them away for you. Why? So, do you think it's okay?"

There is a theater building in the courtyard, surrounded by private rooms and corridors, and it is the focus of everyone's eyes.The thugs from the Wei Bodyguard Bureau stood guard on both sides of the stage, went down to make a round in Gao Liangjie, and came back to tell them: "The conference is about to begin."

Yue Guanshan rubbed his hands together and said, "It's that Hou Daizhao who is going to become the No. 1 martial arts master of Guiyi Village today? Very good, I can't wait to challenge him!"

Wu Li pushed his head back to the dining table: "Go eat your food, if you dare to do bad things tonight, I promise you will be taken back to Liangzhou by Jing Busheng before the sun rises tomorrow."

Xie Zhixu walked to the corner where he could see the theater building most clearly, hid his face behind the window, and put the hilt of Qingjingtian sword in one hand.Everyone in the private room looked at him, and the girls restrained their courteous laughter and became a little nervous.

—Go back and sit down.

Feng Zhichang lowered his eyelashes and cursed without looking.

Qing Jingtian pulled out his finger-wide sword light and put it back into its sheath, Xie Zhixu sat back in his seat and took a sip of strong wine.

When the theater curtain moved, the whispers of Suo Suo that could be heard in the private room were completely silent.

A pair of soap-toed boots came out from behind the curtain, followed by an official hat with stiff wings and a fringed head. Hou Daizhao appeared in front of everyone in his four-grade crimson purple robe with large sleeves.

He actually presided over the martial arts conference as an official of the imperial court.

"Who are there?" Xie Zhixu asked suddenly.

Wu Li shook his head: "It's all covered by the screen, so I can't see it."

"What does Lord Hou want to do?" someone from Gao Liangjie's staff asked.

No one answered his question.

Hou Daizhao walked to the center of the high platform freely, stretched his sleeves, and behaved calmly, as if he had been familiar with such a big scene for a long time, and naturally released the momentum of suppressing the audience.

"Hou invited all of you to gather here in the name of White Horse Fort. However, White Horse Fort has already surrendered to the imperial court, so it is also in the name of the imperial court that he issued a summoning order to all heroes."

Xie Zhixu is familiar with Hou Daizhao's style of slowing down and stopping after half a sentence.His eyes were firmly fixed on Hou Daizhao, and he didn't notice that Feng Zhichang frowned beside him, showing a pensive expression after Hou Daizhao finished his first sentence.

"The martial arts in the Central Plains has been peaceful for a long time, and it has been more than enough to be successful. It is not enough to be aggressive. Today, Jurchen, Khitan, Xi, Liu, and Bohai are gazing at the north. Since the beginning of the army, the soldiers on the frontier have been naked for more than [-] years. They died in the battle. The leader is not safe, and the souls of those who die in the exposure do not return. Huangsha wears golden armor in all battles, and only then can the rear be safe for a while.

Every year, Guochao enshrines a huge amount of New Year's coin gifts to foreign races, 20 ends of silk cloth, tens of thousands of tea leaves, gold and silver, and eleven of the annual harvest, all of which are enshrined.The heavy tax burden caused the people to abandon their land, facing the red sun and suffering unspeakably.The peace of today's prosperous age is the peace of real gold and silver, the peace of flesh and blood.

At the beginning of the year, General Li Ronghuan of the Hebei Commander's Mansion returned to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit in order to ask for payment for conscription, but the country had no spare power and returned without success.Now that the battle on the front line is tense, we, the people of the prosperous age, are sitting on the sidelines and drowning in pain. We should love all living beings, regardless of each other, fight against the invasion of the South, and contribute our force.The children of the Central Plains Wulin went to the battlefield together, and will be honored in the annals of history in the name of loyalty. "

There is no sound, and the needle drop can be heard.

No one could have imagined that Hou Daizhao would go out of his way to convene a martial arts conference, and what he said was all about such important national affairs that have always been irrelevant to him.

The martial arts and the army belong to two systems, each of which is hidden among the people and belongs to the imperial court, and the well water does not violate the river water.No one has ever had the thankless task of combining the two.

There was almost a sneer.

"Is Hou Daizhao crazy?" Wu Li muttered to himself, and he understood almost instantly, "Someone in the court ordered him to do this. Since Baimabao surrendered to the court, Hou Daizhao is no longer a reckless man, but a serious official." He is a chess piece used by the imperial court to instigate rebellion among people in the Jianghu... No, is it a rebellion, or was it premeditated and arranged in advance..."

Feng Zhichang's complexion was pale, and his knuckles pinched the wine glass making crackling sounds.

—I have heard this voice before.

'What? 'Xie Zhixu turned his head.

——On the isolated island in the lake 13 years ago, this person once appeared among the kidnappers. I didn't see his face, but I heard him say to the gangsters... deal with him, don't expose him.Instigated those people to chase me to the cliff and accidentally fell into the water.

Cracks in the thin porcelain body splashed, and the aroma of wine overflowed Fengzhi Changman's hands.

Someone in the private room complained: "Master Hou is so powerful, he has become a lackey of the imperial court, and he still thinks about throwing a dog bone to us."

Can't hear who is talking.

"Master Hou's words today have made the poor nun deeply confused. Sri Lankans have their own jobs. How can you ask carpenters to forge iron and cooks to embroider? It is not your duty to be a soldier and fight."

"Master is right. If Master Hou just wants to recruit troops, I suggest that you go to the market in the city to post a notice, which is easier than trying to summon me. Is there anything else you want to say? If you don't have the old man, you will go first." One step away."

Hou Daizhao stood calmly for a while, waiting for the mocking chatter during the banquet to gradually quiet down.

"You can leave if you want. It's a pity that Master Xie didn't take conscription seriously in the past." Hou Daizhao's not-so-loud voice spread to every corner of Yuxian Tower, like a handful of frost and snow dousing boiling water.

Xie Zhi stood up empty-handedly.

"what did he say?"

"What do you mean?"

There was a lot of discussion.

"Thank you Wen from Gui Yizhuang to thank the owner?"

"Xie Daxia died in an accidental fire two years ago, could it be...!"

Wu Li suddenly realized: "Hou Daizhao joined Guiyizhuang with the mission of the imperial court, but failed to recruit and thank the owner of the villa, so he replaced him."

Yueguanshan was still out of the situation: "What, what are you talking about?"

"I'm going to ask him for clarification!" Xie Zhixu raised his sword and rushed out, but Feng Zhichang grabbed his sleeve.

——Stop, don't be impulsive!

"I'm not impulsive!" Xie Zhixu yelled at Feng Zhichang, "I only have one chance today, after today, even if I don't go to him, he will spare his hand to kill me!"

The prostitutes serving the wine each withdrew their enchanting powers and retreated to the side trembling.

Gao Liangjie and his subordinates didn't say anything, but they had clearly guessed that Xie Zhixu and others were bound to have trouble with Hou Daizhao.

--Calm down.

Feng Zhichang raised his hand, his thumb brushed against Xie Zhixu's red eye circles.

A shout came from a private room:

"Hou Daizhao is ungrateful and wolf-hearted. My elder brother Xie Wen took him in when he was down and down ten years ago. He never thought that he was luring wolves into the house. The surname Hou is the court lackey, Wang Ganying dog, and I will be attacked by Gui Yizhuang. He wants to unify the martial arts and serve the court! Everyone Beware of this person's heart of snakes and scorpions, I, Xu Hui, am here today to avenge my eldest brother Xie Wen's family!"

It was Xu Hui who had been missing for many days!

Hou Daizhao didn't seem to expect it either, and frowned.

Xu Hui appeared in the bread room, and someone immediately asked: "Xu Hui, great hero Xu? Do you mean that Master Xie died at the hands of Hou Daizhao? That's not what was said at the funeral of Guishan Villa two years ago. Could it be that Heavenly stems caught fire and died accidentally?" Is it?"

Xu Hui raised his three fingers to the sky, and said in a loud voice: "The imperial court wants to annex Yizhuang, and then occupy the entire Central Plains martial arts. If Xu utters half a word of falsehood today, he will be struck by lightning and die! My elder brother's son, Xie Jinghui, died after two years He survived the disaster before, but now he lives in the house of the owner of Xilianxiu Zhuang in the city, you can ask him, it can prove that what Xu said is true!"

"God!" Wu Li yelled, "He uses you to collect credit for himself, Yubo's family will be in trouble!"

Hou Dai Zhao Zhenxiu raised his hand, and Xu Hui, who had already experienced it, immediately raised his sword forward.

Following the direction Hou Daizhao's arm was pointing at, an invisible force lifted the tables and chairs, the railings broke in response, and the woman's screams and running footsteps were in a mess.Hou Daizhao covered the palm of his hand, and the air in front of Xu Hui seemed to be distorted a bit, the epee buzzed eight feet, Xu Hui stepped on the broken rail with a loud shout, and fell down the air, guarding the Weiwei Escort Bureau next to the theater building. The thugs immediately blocked and went up.Hou Daizhao took a step back, went backstage and disappeared behind the curtain.

"I'll go find Hou Daizhao!" Xie Zhixu pulled out the Qingjing Sky.

Wu Li chased after him and shouted: "Be careful with his Fan Qingyun!"

The Yuxian Building was in chaos, the people brought by Xu Hui fought with the Wei Bodyguard Bureau, and several experts from the bodyguard bureau stopped Xu Hui.

"I'm sorry for the matter of loyalty to the emperor, the salary of the emperor!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The veranda is full of prostitutes and servants running around, the wine and dishes are overturned, the indescribable smell is disgusting, some private rooms are already empty, some are still watching the fun, some people have drawn their weapons to join the melee: "Xu Daxia , I will help you! Hou Daizhao’s deeds are punishable by everyone!"

Xie Zhixu raised his sword to dodge the shadow of the sword, and he had to be careful to avoid the slippery vegetable oil and wine under his feet. He was anxious to get angry, for fear that Hou Daizhao had slipped away from the backstage.

A black awn shoots out.

"Amitabha." The master in plain white monk clothes folded his palms together, with a barbed caltrop between his palms.

It is the hidden weapon of Tang Sect.

"Thank you, Master!" Xie Zhixu didn't have time to think, and hurried to the backstage of the theater.
