Jianghu chaos

After waiting almost all night, when they returned, Ruan Xi still dutifully guarded the monitoring position they had set out, and did not dare to move for a long time, for fear of being discovered by others, and his eyelids would fight with sleepiness.

Master Xie has already gone back, the sky is gradually turning from black to green, and after a while, some disciples should get up and prepare breakfast.

Xie Chaohan turned over and jumped up the tree, patted Ruan Xi on the head and joked, "How about it, did you dream of Jian Ling coming?"

The treetops swayed, and Ruan Xi was so sleepy that he was about to fall from the treetops: "Except for the man in black who just came back, no one else has been here."

Xie Chaohan picked him up and flew down the tree: "Forget it, it seems that we acted too hastily."

Mei Qian nodded and looked at Ruan Xi: "I've been staring at you all night, thank you for your hard work."

Ruan Xi straightened his back, and said vigorously, "It's not hard, it's not hard! I was the one who wanted to follow, so it's good that I didn't hold back my brother!"

"24 Xiaohao Junior Brother." Xie Chaohan patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were black and blue, he clearly had something on his mind, but he still looked relaxed, "Go back and rest first, I will let the disciples bring the meals to the room, just say You and the iron rooster concentrate on preparing for the meeting, so that no one can disturb you."

Mei Qian didn't answer, just looked at him quietly: "Do you want to ask the door-keeper again?"

Xie Chaohan lowered his head and said to himself in a low voice: "Not yet, the promotion conference is coming soon, and everything depends on the preparation for the conference."

After returning to the room and watching Xie Chaohan leave, Ruan Xi asked Mei Qian hesitantly: "Senior brother, what did you find out this night? Brother Xie seems a little weird."

"It's not just him who is weird." Mei Qian smiled, turned around and sat back at the table, "Perhaps we all guessed the wrong direction before, and Jian Ling has another purpose this time. Now people are dark and I know, it's still the same sentence. Stop still."

Ruan Xi seemed to understand, but he couldn't figure it out anymore, his eyelids were heavy, and he almost fell asleep when he touched the bed board.

In the next few days, Jian Ling didn't appear again as if he had evaporated from the world. The door master Xie went out to search several times, but found nothing, as if this person had never appeared.The article in the Chaowen Special Issue was still being circulated outside, making the speculation about Luoyingmen even worse, and the number of people who gathered to watch the excitement was [-]% more than expected.Zhao Wenhui stabbed the basket and ran away. He let the matter go without any explanation, and he did not continue to add fuel to the scene. Instead, he introduced the budding young talents at the opening ceremony in a serious manner. There is a sense of familiarity between the lines, which should be Ye Fushu's handwriting.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and more and more knights came from thousands of miles away one after another. The Luoying disciples earnestly carried out the instructions of Xiemen Master, a visitor is a guest, and he must make the guests feel at home like a spring breeze.After all, with the ingenuity of Doufubao, it is really difficult for Luoyingmen to be better, so we have to work hard on the hospitality, so as to give all the guests an unforgettable promotion meeting.

In addition, Master Xie also issued a strict order. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the promotion conference and prevent people from the Demon Cult from coming to make trouble and hurt people, the patrol arrangement of Luoyingmen has been doubled. All disciples must pay extra attention to strangers. If there are people acting suspiciously, they should not startle them, they need to be stabilized, and they should be reported to the sect master immediately - directly skipping Xie Chaohan, who was supposed to coordinate the meeting.

Such an appearance as if facing a big enemy is naturally unavoidable to make people suspicious. Master Xie picked a morning exercise time at random, called a meeting with all the disciples, and repeatedly emphasized the importance of the martial arts conference. Safety is the top priority. For example, the opening ceremony of Doufubao, which just concluded, did not go well. I heard that some strange knights came to kick the hall and smash the arena. If Xie Chaohan did not take action, Doufubao would not be able to get off the stage.Here is the lesson from the past, Luoyingmen must not repeat the same mistakes, must strengthen inspections, and make no omissions!

Master Xiemen spoke earnestly and earnestly, and the disciples in the audience were stunned for a moment. They revived their spirits one by one and tried their best to compare that Doufubao.

"My father's ability to avoid the most important and ignore the less important is really great." Xie Chaohan also stood down and listened. He was at the front of the Luoying disciples who lined up neatly. Even though they were dressed in the same Xueqing martial uniform, it was very eye-catching.

"Being so nervous, it's really not like treating a son who is living outside." Mei Qian asked herself softly, "Who is Xiemen guarding against?"

On February 28, Shangguan Yun finally arrived.

Along with Mu Jiuqiu from Shaolin Temple, brothers and sisters Hua Luan from Huamantang, Caoqin from Doufubao, and Ye Fushu from Chaowenhui.

Seeing the news conference, Xie Chaohan felt a faint headache.

Ruan Xi was very happy, and after they exchanged greetings, they kept going around in circles, one by one Shangguan Zhuangzhu and one by one Miss Ye, as if seeing a relative.

Also, it was the first time for this child to travel far away, and he only knew a few friends, and since he hadn't seen him for a long time, he naturally missed him.Xie Chaohan was watching from the sidelines, inexplicably recalling Mei Qianqing's cold words:

"There are gatherings and endings. When we get together, we are excited and happy. What should we do when we are apart? There is no banquet in the world that never ends, just like this martial arts festival. It is famous for a while, but it is only a few months of hustle and bustle. After the party is over, there is nothing left." .”

If Ruan Xi hears such unsightly words, I'm afraid it will break the soft and pure tofu heart of Little Sheep.

Ye Fushu was looking east and west, but he didn't see anyone after looking for a long time, so he grabbed Ruan Xi and asked him quietly, "Isn't Hero Mei at Luoyingmen?"

"Yes." Ruan Xi said, "In the room, is Miss Ye okay?"

"No, it's just strange." Ye Fushu waved his hands and said, "Isn't Hero Mei and the owner of the Shangguan village very friendly? How come the owner of the Shangguan village is nowhere to be seen?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yun looked back and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter. It's already a face to have the master come to greet you. Why bother to mobilize everyone?"

"The iron rooster is lazy and doesn't like to make troubles. If you are willing to participate in the meeting, the sun is out in the west, so you can't force too much." Xie Chaohan said casually, "Mei Shangxue and the owner of Shangguan have not had any quarrels. Don't make up the Chaowen monthly report out of thin air."

Feeling guilty, Ye Fushu groaned a few times and stopped talking.

"Brother Xie, I'm here to welcome you." Mu Jiuqiu was dressed like a Shaolin lay disciple today, and he was the only one who carried all his bags and sticks on his back. He didn't bring any entourage, never hired anyone, and didn't have much luggage. Compared with other big bags The children of the grand family who came here on horseback and in a chariot, Xiaobao looked a lot more simple.

Not far behind him was Hua Juyue, who was uncharacteristically silent except for a few pleasantries. Standing beside her was a young man who looked somewhat familiar.Ruan Xi thought for a while, and finally remembered that it was the hall master Hua Luanhua who passed by in a hurry at the Doufu meeting.

Hua Luan looks much older than Hua Juyue, with a round face and curved brows, white face and tall body, friendly words and polite smile, warm and kind, the first contact makes Ruan Xi have a long-lost sense of familiarity - that is the habit of businessmen He behaves like a schoolboy, smiles three-pointedly when meeting each other, and has bright eyes, which is completely different from Shangguan Yun and others.

"In this way, Hua X and sister-in-law are bothering brother Xie." While talking, Hua Luan took a long and narrow brocade box from the servant behind him, and handed it to Xie Chaohan politely, "It's not a respect."

Just by looking at the format of the brocade box, one can tell that it is worth a lot of money.

Xie Chaohan accepted it without changing his face, and led several people to go inside.

Ye Fushu and Caoqin stayed behind, observing the Dihuadang in the paulownia forest along the way.From the end of February to the beginning of March is the time when the spring is at its peak. The green path meanders away and submerges in the depths of the paulownia forest. The tung flowers on both sides hang upside down and sway, much more prosperous than when Ruan Xi first came.

Ye Fushu loved this paulownia forest very much, he looked around and touched it all the way, the light purple paulownia flowers swayed and fell down the tree, just landed on her hair, she was pleasantly surprised to take it off, and put it in her arms like a treasure.

Caoqin caught the falling paulownia leaves, and seeing that they were intact and intact, he raised his hand and handed them over.Ye Fushu took out the book from the bag, opened it carefully, and put the emerald green paulownia leaf in it.

While Xie Chaohan and his group were walking for a while, Ruan Xi slowed down, quietly approached Ye Fushu and asked Ye Fushu in a subdued voice: "Miss Ye, have you watched the live broadcast of the Chaowen Special Conference on the tenth day of February?"

Ye Fushu was stunned, the smile that had just been bent froze on his face, and slowly collapsed: "I... have seen..."

Ruan Xi was a little impatient: "I remember the girl said that the Chaowen Conference is to record today's grand events, so that future generations can remember that such a river and lake existed; I also remember that the girl once made up her mind to stop arbitrarily arranging others and try her best in everything. It is reasonable and well-founded, but why...why did the special issue on the tenth day of February ignore the facts so much? Jian Ling and Xie Xie fought against each other, so why did they say that Xie Xie lost to Luo Yingjian? Isn't this against the girl? The original intention, against the original intention of the Chaowenhui?"

"No!" Ye Fushu hurriedly said while holding the book, "That special issue is fake, it wasn't published by the Chaowen Society!"

Ruan Xi never expected this answer, and was stunned: "Fake?"

Ye Fushu hurriedly rummaged through the baggage, and found two booklets, one of which was the special edition of Chaowen that distorted the truth on the tenth day of February, and the other was another volume published a few days ago, introducing the Hua Zhuyue, the second lady of Huamantang, won the opening ceremony and entered the promotion meeting.

Ye Fushu held up the two booklets in front of him, and pointed them to him one by one: "Although I only write some legends and anecdotes for the Chaowenhui, I don't publish everything outside. But all those published in the name of the Chaowenhui Everything will be here..." Ye Fushu pointed to a mark in the corner, "Every Chaowen congregation has its own inscription, although the published articles are not signed, but they will be printed here. You can tell who it is at a glance.”

"This is my inscription." With cool palms, Ruan Xi lowered his head, and there was already a small jade inscription in his hand. The engraved patterns were very strange, like leaves and not leaves, like clouds and not clouds, and embedded in it Booklet style.

"Every person's inscription pattern is unique. The inscription is carved from Kunshan frozen jade. Each person only has two pieces. One is carried with him and one is kept in the meeting. If there is a finished manuscript outside, it will be printed on the inscription. Friends in the meeting will know who it is." Ye Fushu pointed to the fake volume with grievances, "Although the paper and ink used in this volume are the same as those of our meeting, there is no inscription, and the appearance is made to resemble it. As long as it is our court hearing people, it can be seen at a glance that it is fake."
