Jianghu chaos

"Since it is false, why did the Chaowen Society not make any statement and let it spread in the rivers and lakes?" Ruan Xi didn't understand, "Even if the spread cannot be curbed, the Chaowen Society should come forward to declare that this newspaper is forged and repeat the facts That's right, why did Chaowen remain silent and let it be a sensationalist?"

Ye Fushu frowned and said, "This is exactly what I don't understand..."

Ruan Xi was even more surprised: "The girl doesn't understand either?"

Ye Fushu muttered to himself: "Why did Master let it go and not clarify..."

"Could it be..." Ruan Xi had a flash of inspiration, and came up with a bold idea, "It is said that money can make ghosts turn the clock, could it be that someone paid a lot of money to buy off the congregation?" Thinking of this, Ruan Xi clapped his hands: "It must be people from Sunset City! Brother said that they have interfered with the progress of the meeting many times, bribed the Chaowen Association to promote the failure of the Luoyingmen, which made the Luoyingmen have to be distracted from these trivial matters, and could not concentrate on organizing the meeting-this must be the case! "

"I can't be easily bought by Zhao Wenhui..." Ye Fushu was dissatisfied, and was about to refute, but the more Ruan Xi thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, and couldn't hold back his excitement, he turned around and ran away, never hearing her argument.

Ruan Xi has already been familiar with the shortcuts up and down the Luoying Gate, and hurried to the door of the room by copying the path. When he opened the door and saw the empty room, Mei Qian didn't know where to go. what happened.Thinking back to Shangguan Yun's room for a while, Ruan Xi made a decisive decision and turned around, bringing with him a rush of vigor that surprised the Luoying disciples he met along the way.

The number of people coming and going increased, Ruan Xi withdrew his lightness kung fu, shuttled back and forth among the crowd, grabbed a fallen disciple and asked, "Have you seen my Senior Brother Mei?"

In the past few days, he has been giving gifts and performing martial arts. The disciples in the school have recognized him, and they are not surprised by his behavior of looking for senior brothers three times a day. there."

Ruan Xi rushed over without saying a word, but Mei Qian couldn't be seen after rushing Zhang Yuan away, but instead bumped into a very familiar voice:

"Brother, I only need half a calendula plant, so you can give me half a plant!"

The voice is delicate and pleasant, not as savage as before, but it adds a lot of soft and coquettish meaning.

Is it Miss Hua?Ruan Xi was very happy to meet an acquaintance, just now he was only interested in asking Miss Ye, but forgot to say hello to her, even though they have no friendship, they are acquaintances at least, etiquette cannot be neglected.

Just about to go forward, another voice said helplessly: "Calendula is born in Tianshan, there are only a few plants a year, except for the tribute to the court, the rest are priceless and extremely valuable. If you want it What?"

Ruan Xi stopped, the brothers and sisters were discussing things, it seemed inappropriate for him to disturb at this moment.

At the other end of the corridor, Hua Juyue flattened her mouth, pulled the corner of her brother's robe softly and begged: "I am useful... besides, aren't all medicinal materials used? What is the difference between unused medicinal materials and a radish flower. "

Hua Luan shook her head: "For many years, I only got one plant..."

Hua Juyue hurriedly said: "If you don't want to part with it, just give me a half!"

Hua Luan sighed and said with a wry smile: "If you said it earlier, it would have been fine, but now... I want to give it to you, but I can't."

"What?" Hua Juyue was taken aback for a moment, and quickly reacted when she turned her eyes, and said in a voiceless voice: "Could it be that brocade box you just gave Xie Chaohan..."

Hua Luan nodded: "That's right, it's the Calendula."

"You..." Hua Juyue was stunned, threw him away in frustration, and said angrily, "What did you do for him with such a good thing! What a good medicinal herb was for nothing!"

Hua Luan comforted her with good words: "What do you want it for? Although calendula has miraculous effects, it is not without alternative medicinal materials. Why do you have to look for it?"

Hua Juyue hesitated for a moment, raised her head and glanced at him quickly, then lowered her head again, humming softly like a mosquito.

Hua Luan didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Hua Juyue took a deep breath and said, "I found a prescription."

Hua Luan didn't understand, so: "What prescription?"

Hua Juyue folded her hands behind her back, and turned her eyes away: "That...that Shaolin monk Mu Jiuqiu...his face..."

Hua Luan suddenly understood, thought carefully for a while, and smiled: "If you don't remind me, I really forgot that there is such a prescription. Although I don't know how effective it is, I will know after trying it."

Hua Juyue pursed her lips and stomped her feet: "What are you trying! The marigolds have been given away by you, and I can't try it if I want to! I hate it, Xie Qi is alive and kicking, and it is a waste of money to give him this kind of thing!"

Marigold lotus... Ruan Xi remembered that he was obsessed with martial arts at the beginning, and bought many so-called martial arts cheats from street vendors. It's the waterfall again, and I have tossed myself a whole body of illness. I heard the nanny said that when it was serious, I was full of nonsense, and I didn't know about personnel.At that time, it was also my father who sent someone to boil a bowl of medicine from the marigold lotus and feed him to drink. He had a nosebleed in the middle of the night because of it, but somehow he got better after tossing about it.The matter of a bowl of medicine and half a bowl of nosebleeds is too profound. Since then, people in the Ruan Mansion have kept this thing at a distance, and they have been hoarding and reselling it for many years.Before he went out this time, the third brother stuffed him with a handful of calendula petals in his purse. He thought the flower was tasteless and couldn't even be called a sachet... But it turned out that it could heal Mu Jiuqiu's burns?

Over there Hua Juyue was still angry, Ruan Xi scratched his head, quietly backed away, turned around and ran back to the room.

If you can heal Mu Jiuqiu's injury with a little marigold lotus and resolve the misunderstanding between Xie Xie and Miss Hua, that would be a great deal!

He hurried back to the room, and as soon as he opened the door, Ruan Xi was so frightened that he took a few steps back, stumbled on the threshold, staggered, and hung on the door frame:

"Senior Brother, Brother Xie, Master Shangguan... You guys, why are you here..."

Xie Chaohan had a regretful face: "It seems that we are the ones with hideous faces, who scared Young Master Ruan like this."

"No, no!" Ruan Xi hurriedly stood up straight and waved his hands, "I was just surprised and happy, too surprised, just now I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to go back to the room."

Xie Chaohan leaned lazily on the chair, looked at Mei Qian and smiled: "Hero Mei has a thin skin, and when visiting old friends, he is also shy and sneaky. He happened to be caught by brother Shangguan and me."

Mei Qian gave him a gouged look, with a bad expression on his face.

Shangguan Yun rounded the field and said: "Brother Mei has always disliked socializing and socializing. It just so happens that Brother Xie and I are tired of dealing with fellow martial artists these few days, so we took half a day off from Fusheng and came to Brother Mei to rest for a while."

Xie Chaohan sighed: "If Brother Shangguan hadn't come, he would never have shown his face. In the end, Brother Shangguan has a lot of face."

"Naturally." Mei Qian sipped tea, and said slowly, "Brother Shangguan is not like someone, but he deserves a beating for everything he says."

Shangguan Yun smiled and lowered his head to take a sip, then turned to look at Ruan Xi: "Brother Ruan came to find Brother Mei in a hurry, but what's the matter?"

It was only then that Ruan Xi realized that he ran to the wrong room in a hurry, and he hit it by mistake. He didn't care about it right now, so he hurriedly got down to business and said quickly: "I learned from Miss Ye that the fabricated story on the tenth day of February The special issue of Luoyingmen's defeat by Jian Ling was not published by the Chaowenhui, it was a fake, it was just under the name of the Chaowenhui!"

Those three people looked at him quietly, for a moment, Xie Chaohan tilted his head: "Well, then what?"

Seeing that the three of them were not surprised, Ruan Xi reacted after a while: "Brother Xie, you... already know?"

Mei Qian said indifferently: "I happened to hear it."

Ruan Xi was filled with righteous indignation: "Afterwards, the Chaowen Conference did not clarify this. It must be that someone got into the Chaowen Conference or bribed the Chaowen Conference. They used the special issue to spread rumors and smear Luoyingmen. They must have used this to disrupt the preparations for the conference. Brother Xie, don’t fall for it!”

Shangguan Yun put down the teacup: "Then according to Brother Ruan, who should have done it?"

Ruan Xi thought for a while, and said tentatively, "Jian Ling? Sunset City?"

"In the eyes of outsiders, Chaowenhui is just a tabloid in the market, and it can't be on the stage." Mei Qian said calmly, "Why do you think it can influence the martial arts conference?"

Ruan Xi really hesitated: "This..."

Mei Qian smiled, and changed the subject: "Everyone has never paid attention to it, but they can't help but take it as a topic of conversation after dinner. They say it is important, but no one cares about it; they say it is insignificant, but it is vaguely Covenant, imperceptible."

Shangguan Yun lowered his eyes and said calmly: "In so many years, this is the first time someone has thought of making this move."

Xie Chaohan praised: "It can be regarded as unique."

Ruan Xi was even more worried: "The promotion conference is about to start, does this mean that Sunset City is going to attack Luoyingmen?"

Mei Qian shook her head: "As far as I know, this is not like Sunset City."

Ruan Xi looked at Xie Chaohan: "That's... Jian Ling?"

Xie Chaohan said dryly: "Looking at his rags, you can tell that he has no money to do such tricks. No matter what kind of person Chaowenhui is, he can't be easily bought."

"That……"

Shangguan Yun, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "The person spreading rumors may not be Sunset City, but since this opportunity is given, Sunset City will not let it go easily. Brother Xie..." After a moment of hesitation, Shangguan Yun said, "Jane Whether Ling is from Sunset City or not may be known at the promotion conference."

"..." Xie Chaohan didn't speak.

"It's useless to speculate. Let's wait for him to show up and play it by ear." Mei Qian changed the subject and turned to Ruan Xi, "You just returned to your room in a hurry, so there should be other important matters?"

After being reminded by him, Ruan Xi immediately remembered, and hurriedly told what he heard and saw on the road about Miss Hua's search for medicine.

"The famous snow-capped calendula flower?" Xie Chaohan was surprised, and reached out to grab the brocade box that had just been placed on the small table, and opened it casually, "The master of the flower hall gave this?"

In the six-inch-long exquisite brocade box, there is only one half-palm-sized flower with light golden color bands, shaped like a water lily, the stem is thin and thin, it was picked when it was in full bloom, and it was preserved here with great care.

"It is rumored that marigold lotus has the miraculous effect of life and death, human flesh and white bones. One plant is extremely rare, and even a hundred taels of gold are priceless." Shangguan Yun was moved, "Master Hua is bothering."

Xie Chaohan looked at Marigold Lian and murmured: "It's really rich."

Mei Qian looked at the brocade box affectionately, and sighed: "It's really a waste of money to give such precious medicinal materials to Xie Qi, no wonder Miss Hua is angry."

While talking, Ruan Xi went back to the next room with his head, rummaged for a while, finally found a medicine bag, took it out excitedly and shook it open, only to see that it was stuffed full of petals, sun-baked, slender The golden veins are clearly visible on the petals - just like marigolds.

One is precious and carefully preserved, and the other is just dried and stuffed in the medicine bag at will, many petals are curled up together, how can it look like a precious medicinal material in a wilting state?

The corners of Xie Chaohan's eyes twitched: "Don't tell me these are also marigolds."

Ruan Xi nodded earnestly: "Before I go out, I asked the doctor at home to treat it, and it can be directly used as medicine."

Shangguan Yun stretched out his hand to pick up two petals, stroked the petals with his slender fingertips, passed it under his nose and smelled it: "Calendula is very special. It needs to be processed through several processes before it can be used as medicine. The materials are rare and the process is extremely complicated. , If you are not careful, it will be discarded, so most people in the world are cautious and buy and sell the whole plant." Speaking of this, he looked at Ruan Xi with a complicated look, "These marigolds are experienced and valuable, and Mr. Ruan is so casual. place……"

Xie Chaohan said, "More reckless than me."

"So useful?" Ruan Xi scratched his head, very happy, "The owner of the Shangguan Village is well-informed and knows everything! Then we will send it to Miss Hua. It is the best to resolve the misunderstanding about the martial arts competition!"

Xie Chaohan couldn't help laughing, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, stuffed the medicine pouch back into his arms, grabbed the brocade box back and left: "You are Miss Hua, and you are still angry because of martial arts competitions? Unexpectedly, I, a 'Merry Young Hero', betrayed my heart." Han' also has a day to be a matchmaker, tsk..."

Ruan Xi: "Huh?"
