Martial Lord

On August [-]th, the Jinling area was in a state of turmoil, and all major sects gathered in Jinling for the triennial martial arts event.

After all, Wu Xie was a green head who went out for the first time, and she was very excited along the way, looking around and hating that her eyes were not enough.Not to mention Shaolin Wudang, Emei Qingcheng and other famous sects, Wu Xie also caught a sharp glimpse of a blond Persian beauty in a gauze dress with a graceful figure, which made him almost stare.Fatty said that this should be the messenger of Mingjiao in the Western Regions—it is rumored that the Zhang family’s roots can be traced back to the previous dynasty, or even further. No one knows how long this mysterious family has stood.

Wu Xie couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he heard that, they only took a relatively remote path, and the avenue in the middle didn't know how lively it would be.But the fat man said that you don't understand again, the road in the middle is not for ordinary people to walk.When the Zhang family was in its heyday, every time there was a martial arts conference, the imperial court would definitely send an important official to come, and the emperor would personally congratulate him, praising the Zhang family for its contribution in stabilizing the world.The letter was placed in a brocade box, carried to Qilinyan on a royal chariot, and then read by the envoy, just like the emperor himself.Therefore, the road in the middle is specially reserved for the royal family, and the Zhang family will handle it themselves, so no one can get involved.It's just that this year's situation is a bit special. I don't know if anyone will take this road.This is also one of the important things that all factions in the Jianghu are waiting to see. If no one comes, it means that the split between the imperial court and the Zhang clan is not a rumor, and this year's martial arts conference will probably be more "lively".

Wu Xie couldn't help frowning. He thought that his younger brother might be the Zhang family, so he subconsciously developed a good impression of the Zhang family. Now he subconsciously worried about these things that he never minded. He only hoped that the emperor would personally It's better to come to Qilinyan.It's best to give the Zhang family enough face, and see how those who find fault will continue to toss.

After walking for a while, they entered the guard gate of Qilinyan. From here on, they were guarded, and they were not allowed to enter without an invitation.Wu Xie was still nervous after all, and followed the fat man tightly with a sigh of relief.The fat man was very magnanimous, he swaggered up to the guard to show his post, and strode past the guard before he could say anything.Wu Xie and Fatty walked side by side, almost completely blocked by Fatty.Seeing that there was no one blocking the way, Wu Xie's hanging heart finally fell. He was about to praise the fat man for his ability to do things well, but someone grabbed his shoulder suddenly.A cold voice came behind him——

"Stop! Where's your invitation?"

The guard's voice was loud, attracting attention from all directions. Wu Xie felt anxious and embarrassed as if he had been found out for fare evasion in a theater.Fatty reacted very quickly, and immediately said: "I have something to say, but it's a misunderstanding! Is this brother known as Brother Chu?"

The other party looked at Fatty and said, "Brother Chu has been replaced. I am Ye Cheng from the Baling Chen family."

Wu Xie knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it. It seemed that they were probably cheated by that brother Chu.After all, the fat man is an old man, so he immediately adapts to the situation and warms up to Ye Cheng.

"It turned out to be Ye Shaoxia! I have been admiring him for a long time! I am Fatty Wang of Panjiayuan."

Ye Cheng didn't seem to like it very much and didn't respond.The fat man then said: "Brother Ye, listen to me, this is my own nephew. The kid's family is clamoring to go out to meet the world, so I brought it here. We greeted Brother Chu before, and we are all from our own family. Brother Ye, you See... give me some accommodation?"

"Your nephew?" Ye Cheng looked at Wu Xie suspiciously, and asked, "Are you his nephew?"

You are his nephew, and your whole family is his nephew!Wu Xiexin said that the fat man had no words, so he didn't forget to take advantage of him at this time.He glared at the fat man, and said viciously: "I am your seventh uncle! I don't care! If you don't take me in today, I will tell your tigress about your visit to the brothel, and let her old man screw you pig ears!"

"You son of a bitch! Who do you curse to marry a tigress..."

The fat man was in a hurry to scold back, but he really seemed to be acting guilty, and Ye Cheng laughed when he heard it: "Brother Wang is very lucky."

The fat man hurriedly said: "Children's talking nonsense, Brother Ye, don't take it seriously. Brother Ye, you see, we met because of fate, and when the martial arts conference is over, Brother Ye must give you face and let brother do something, brother, I have another big thank you, what do you think?" With that said, the fat man took out a small bag from his cuff, and stuffed it quietly into Ye Cheng's hand.

Generally speaking, make a joke and have fun, and add a little money, and the matter will be settled here.After all, it's not a big deal, and most people would save face if they said hello beforehand.But they never expected that they would meet a shaft man today—that Ye Cheng's expression changed, and he actually stuffed the money back.

He justly said that he was on duty on behalf of others, and he couldn't explain what happened.Fatty can go in, but "nephew" please go back.Of course Wu Xie would not give up, and cooperated with the fat man to persuade him one by one, but Ye Cheng was so stubborn that he refused to accept the soft and the hard.When the two started arguing like this, the people behind were delayed.In the end, Ye Cheng's expression darkened, he grasped the hilt of his sword, and said, "You two, please come back! I'm welcome if you make trouble again."

Wu Xie looked at the fat man, who made a gesture of helplessness.Wu Xie also knew that this road might not work.The matter has come to this point, even if he continues to entangle, there will be no results.The fat man could not stop giving him winks, intending to persuade him to take a long-term view, but Wu Xie was still unwilling in his heart. Although he was rationally clear, emotionally he was unwilling to give up at this close distance.

Just as Wu Xie was in a dilemma, someone in the crowd gave a "puchi" smile: "Little cousin, why did you come here? Mother-in-law is looking for you."

Wu Xie was startled, but saw a little girl in a pink shirt walking out of the crowd, with a pair of big watery eyes embedded in her fair face, cute and charming, making people look very comfortable the kind of beauty.The little girl walked towards him, but she took Wu Xie's arm without hesitation.This can be considered very bold, but she is charming as a little girl, which does not make people feel frivolous, but like a younger sister and brother acting like a baby.With this sudden change, Wu Xiequan didn't know how to deal with it.The little girl didn't care, and said to the guard, "Brother Ye Cheng, this is my cousin. His invitation card is at Huo's house. My mother-in-law's sedan chair is behind. If you don't believe me, let her old man meet you face to face." Just say it."

Ye Cheng hurriedly said: "So it's Miss Huo, I'm sorry. So this little brother is also the young master of the Huo family, why... just didn't say anything?"

The girl stomped her feet unhappily, and said appropriately: "Don't blame him. He insisted on being angry with my uncle and saying that he wanted to go out to make troubles by himself. This is a joke. Let him stop you before he enters the door." Let’s see if he still wants to say that he doesn’t rely on his family?”

"I...I..." She said all the words, and Wu Xie couldn't help showing a little flustered.I don't think his demeanor, like a boy from a family who is arrogant and has learned a lesson, makes Ye Cheng believe it.

"Since that's the case, young master and miss, please go ahead."

Ye Cheng let go, the little girl smiled and said thank you, and left with Wu Xie on her arm.When the fat man saw it, he quickly followed.

The crisis seemed to be over, but Wu Xie didn't dare to relax at all. He had never seen this big girl who fell from the sky, so why did she help him?And the girl was also surprised, after passing the checkpoint, she didn't say a word, but with a smile on her lips, she walked quietly by her arm.Although this is a little girl, she has a strong aura, even better than those outsiders. Wu Xie wanted to speak up several times, but looking at the girl's side face, she somehow lost her courage.

After a while, the little girl stopped.She looked back and said: "Okay, let's go here, I have to go back to take care of my mother-in-law, brother Wu Xie, you can take care of yourself."

Wu Xie was startled: "Girl stay! Miss knows me?"

The little girl looked back and smiled when she heard the sound: "No hurry, my mother-in-law said, we will meet again."

Wu Xie was puzzled, and was about to ask again, but saw that the girl did not know what kind of movement, looked slowly, but disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if all this was just a dream of Wu Xie.The little shopkeeper was confused, he didn't want to face a fat and shiny face as soon as he turned his head, and suddenly felt like falling from a dream to a nightmare.He silently distanced himself from the fat man, and rubbed his brows: "You don't need to ask, I don't know anything."

The fat man naturally didn't believe it, and sighed: "Xiao Wu, you're not right, my brother has only been away for a few days, and you have cheated on your girlfriend? You even brought someone with you, isn't it the same as bringing a new love to send wedding invitations to your ex-husband?" "

Wu Xie glared at him: "When are you still joking? I really don't know her, and I'm at a loss now."

The fat man curled his lips: "I see you are a girl too much, and I can't remember it myself, I can't see that Xiaoyan is so unruly..."

"Nonsense! Why don't I keep it... Bah! Where do I come from to be able to keep it! You keep one and show me!"

However, after such a commotion, they finally came in smoothly, with Qilinyan in front of them, and Wu Xie's mind was already attracted by the Qilinyan martial arts conference that was close at hand, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being.Since the girl left such words, there is probably something to say about this matter, and it is useless to think about it now, it is better to confirm the situation of the little brother first.

Qilinyan is located in the boundary of Jinling, and it is also called "Kirin Peak" in the local area, just because the mountain here looks like a majestic unicorn from a distance.The Zhang family respects the unicorn and takes the unicorn as a totem. In addition, this place is open and flat, with a pleasant climate, so it is selected as the gathering place for people from the rivers and lakes every three years.

At this moment, Wu Xie and Fatty mingled with the crowd in an inconspicuous corner, observing the surrounding situation calmly.In the center of the arena is a high platform, and the people below are uniformly dressed in dark blue dresses, with patterns embroidered with gold thread from the cuffs to the forearms.The reason why Wu Xie noticed them was because this group of people had a very different temperament from those who came to the meeting. It was an indescribable incompatibility. Presumably this was the Zhang family of the host.Wu Xie searched around, but didn't see a figure that looked like a little brother. He wanted to go further, but was dragged back by the fat man.He said that the people here are very good in their eyes, Wu Xie is easy to be recognized as a new face, if he is interrogated here, it will be bad.Wu Xie knew it was right, so he could only stare at the table in the middle, wishing to have a pair of clairvoyant eyes.

In a blink of an eye, the time had come, and the horns on both sides of the mountain road sounded, announcing that the martial arts conference was about to begin—that is to say, the people from the imperial court did not show up.It seems that the rumors are not groundless, and now it is only up to the Zhang family how to deal with those malicious doubts.

What Wu Xie didn't expect was that there were really people who were so unafraid of death and jumped out to make trouble from the very beginning.

The cause of the incident is simple to say, the martial arts conference has always been hosted by the leader of the martial arts alliance, and now the previous leader of the martial arts has passed away for more than three months, but the new leader has not shown up for a long time.All the sects are secretly guessing, since the Zhang family can hold the martial arts meeting on time, whether the new leader of the alliance has returned to the family.Therefore, when the new alliance leader that everyone was looking forward to did not appear, but was replaced by a highly respected elder from the Zhang family, the audience couldn't help commotion.

"The leader is not here, what kind of martial arts conference is this?"

"That is, since the Zhang family already has a candidate for a new alliance leader, why has it been so long since they have not seen anyone? How can they be so secretive, how can they stabilize the hearts of their comrades."

"The imperial court didn't send anyone here. If there isn't even an alliance leader, why bother to ask us to gather at the Qilin Peak? Isn't this just playing tricks?"

Although the old man on the stage was old, his eyes were shrewd and wise. He quietly glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Fellows, there have been rumors of slandering my Zhang family in recent days, and it is normal for everyone to feel uneasy. Please rest assured, My Zhang family will definitely give everyone an explanation. Then I will introduce the old man - the new martial arts leader."

Elder Zhang's family suddenly moved his dantian with luck, and a deep sound came out from his internal force, resounding through the mountain stream.

Before the words fell, a figure was seen flying up from the stage.The man was extremely fast, and he could only vaguely see that he was dressed in black clothes, and he only clicked twice with a single step from a distance of more than thirty feet, which shows that his lightness kung fu is very good.In the blink of an eye, the man passed through the crowd, with his arms crossed, he landed on the stage gracefully.

Wu Xie couldn't help but widen his glasses when he saw the man's back, and felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat.No, how is this possible!Wu Xie's face was pale, and he only hoped that he couldn't make the right look just now.Immediately afterwards, the people on the stage laughed loudly, turned around, and showed a face that was enough to scare Wu Xie into a cold sweat.

Not only him, even the fat man dropped his jaw. He looked at the man, then at Wu Xie, as if he had seen a ghost: "What, what's going on? Xiao Wu, you...you have a brother in the Zhang family ?”

Wu Xie turned a deaf ear to the fat man's words. At this moment, he was staring at the stage without blinking, his face full of disbelief, because the person on the stage had a face exactly like his own!
