Jianghu chaos

"So what." Duan Li shook the flagon nonchalantly, "Son and daughters of the Jianghu, happy kindness and hatred... Ha!"

Ruan Xi looked at him, hesitated to speak, didn't know whether to ask or not.

Duan Li was impatient: "Fart, put it away! You're so cowardly, you really made everyone a lady!"

Ruan Xi asked him cautiously: "Senior, if you can save me from them, have you seen where they are going?"

Duan Li glanced at him, pondered for a moment and said: "If you ask me about this, you might as well ask the Chao Wenhui."

Ruan Xi was taken aback for a moment: "The court news meeting?"

"There are so many things you don't know!" Duan Li patted him sympathetically, his gaze settled down, "You can rest assured, Xuanwu Dousu dare not touch that girl Chao Wenhui."

Ruan Xi was stunned for a while, and after calming down, she vaguely remembered that it seemed that Dou Su had indeed said that she should not be touched.But besides the meeting, he seemed to have heard Hua Mantang before he passed out... "What about Miss Hua? Is Miss Hua in danger?"

Duan Li smiled inexplicably: "I'm also curious, why they don't want people who are full of flowers."

Ruan Xi felt a chill for no reason.

Chaowenhui and Huamantang, what are their backgrounds that can make Sunset City afraid?

"Boy, if you want to save them, I can give you some pointers."

Ruan Xi was shocked: "Senior, please tell me!"

"Luoyang, Baichuan Villa." Duan Li said quietly, raising his hand and pointing at the black and smeared front, "With your skill in frost and snow, you can arrive in Luoyang early tomorrow morning. The alliance meeting is coming soon, the president of Chaowen Club Right now, he is in the Yaji Academy in Luoyang City, you will definitely not see him if you go alone, remember to go to Baichuan Villa to rescue the soldiers first."

Ruan Xi mumbled, "But..."

Duan Li interrupted him impatiently: "The Ruan family is old and cunning, why did you become such an idiot! Sunset City didn't move that girl, but robbed her again, clearly to sell face to the Chao Wenhui. What's more The Chaowen Society has its ears and eyes all over the world, and has its own method of delivering news, and most of these things have been reported to the president at the moment, so you go directly to Luoyang to find them to find out the news, which is much more useful than looking for people without a head!"

Before he could answer, Duan Li added another sentence: "Besides, even if someone is in front of you, you can't even beat him, so what are you talking about saving people?"

Ruan Xi lowered his head and slowly clenched his fists: "What the senior taught me is that Ruan Xi understands."

It was night, and in Baichuan Villa in Luoyang, there were also people who stayed up all night.

The alliance meeting is just around the corner, and Sunset City is becoming more and more restless. Ever since Hengsha Sect leader Qin was killed and Cao Lu was injured, Hengsha Sect withdrew from the Wulin League leader contest. The chivalrous men also felt heavy.Everyone knew that Sunset City was coming for the Martial Arts Alliance, and there were many speculations about who the next target would be.

Therefore, when they were invited to the conference hall early in the morning, all the heads of the various sects were shocked. For several days, Sunset City's raids stopped at the iron walls of Baichuan Villa. Is it okay?

Shangguan Yun arrived soon, and Xie Chaohan, who had been criticized by all kinds of people a few days ago, appeared with him.

Everyone present here has more or less heard those rumors that have been widely circulated, and they are aware of the rumors and rumors, and they are also muttering in their hearts, but the enemy of Sunset City temporarily suppressed it and did not make trouble on the spot. At this moment, Xie Chaohan appeared , the major masters looked at each other a few times, and said nothing.

As if nothing had happened, Shangguan Yun turned a blind eye to the slightly awkward atmosphere in the hall, and only spoke solemnly about Mei Xie's group being attacked, looking left and right for the Dharma protectors, and the envoy's appearance. Of course, The matter of Caoqin's injury was concealed.

Everyone knew that Ming Yuan would appear soon.

It is inevitable that the alliance meeting will not be held peacefully.

In the meeting hall, the atmosphere was heavy, Shangguan Yun changed the subject, and suddenly brought up the rumors that he had never mentioned in the past few days:

"From Songzhou to Luoyang all the way, there are endless rumors. You may have doubts or dissatisfaction, and I have never argued for myself in the past few days. One is that Shangguan Yun is a man, and you have seen it for many years; the other is that the mere rumors are just nonsense. However, brother Xie was attacked on his way to Luoyang the day before yesterday. A dozen or so people came to ambush the inn and set fire in the middle of the night, almost killing more than a dozen innocent lives. People know Brother Xie's whereabouts like the palm of their hands, so they set up traps early on..."

Mei Qian stood behind him, watching Shangguan Yun's face sinking like water, and the private words of the three of them resounded in his head after the other people were settled last night, and entwined with his voice without joy or sorrow at the moment:

"Those people are very clear about your whereabouts, and even know that Brother Mei's martial arts is temporarily lost, so they accurately predict which inn you will choose, first attack Miss Cao, and then use the fire to divert the tiger away from the mountain..."

"The mask with the sunset pattern... the subordinates whose tongues were cut off without exception, and the suicide by swallowing poison... It is indeed as Brother Mei said, it is more like trying to cover up..."

"Such a cover-up, trying to put the blame on Sunset City, I'm afraid it's something inside the Martial Arts League."

"The alliance is imminent, and Sunset City is on the sidelines. At this time, we must not fight among ourselves..."

……

The voice reverberated in the meeting hall, and Shangguan Yun said solemnly: "Those people are all wearing sunset-patterned masks without exception, and they came for brother Xie's Luoying swordsmanship. You don't need to say who is behind it, I think you all know it."

"This incident is by no means a coincidence. Many comrades have been attacked in the past few days, which shows that Sunset City has stepped up its actions. In connection with the previous rumors and rumors, I have no intention of questioning your judgment. It is just that the enemy is now, and I implore you to worry about it— —Who is it that provokes the inside of the Martial Arts League and reaps the benefits?"

There was a moment of silence, and after a long time, someone spoke up: "Shangguan Villa Master, those rumors were deliberately spread by Sunset City in an attempt to provoke my Wulin League?"

Shangguan Yun looked over and nodded to the person who asked the question: "There is no basis for what you say, and I don't want to assert it casually. It happened that on the way to Luoyang, the second lady of Huamantang, Miss Chaowenhui Ye, and Ruan Shaoxia sent by Lingxu were in Bianzhou. Found something strange, and went to investigate it secretly. I believe there will be clues about who has ulterior motives."

"As for what the rumors say..." Shangguan Yun looked around, his eyes suddenly became sharper, and his tone unconsciously became more serious: "I personally destroyed the Luoying Sword Manual, if anyone has any doubts, you can check it out. As long as there is a shred of evidence to prove that the subordinates are stealing, Shangguan will allow him to deal with it without any objection."

Xie Chaohan got up, took a few steps forward and stood in the middle of the hall frankly, saying: "Whether Xie has lost his meridians, anyone who is interested can come and have a test."

Of course, no one would really check it out, and responded politely, such a seemingly incongruous appearance, which made Mei Qian feel even more boring-this clearly disorganized martial arts alliance, only Shangguan Yun was struggling to support it.

"Recently there has been a lot of action in Sunset City. Although the inside and outside of the villa have stepped up protection, there is still a gap in the hundred secrets. Please pay attention."

"The original intention of the Wulin League was to hope that the various sects in the Jianghu would cooperate sincerely and jointly safeguard the morality of the Wulin." Shangguan Yun sighed and said earnestly, "I hope that you will not hesitate to help."

While speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the conference hall, and a voice came in faintly. Shangguan Yun frowned, and suddenly raised his hand to catch a needle that had entered through the broken window.

Everyone present turned their faces and looked at the closed doors and windows.

Mei Qian thoughtfully, nodded to Shangguan Yun, turned around the screen with big strides, and pushed open the door.

A few guards blocked the door, and the people who were a few steps away were very familiar. When they saw him, their eyes burst into tears, and they rushed forward screaming.

Mei Qian stopped the guards, slightly surprised: "Ruan Xi?"

The clothes, which were always bright and exquisite, are now full of dust, but after two or three days since I saw her, her chin has turned blue, her hair crown has disappeared, her hair is scattered and bundled behind her head, and there is a hole on the left side of her body, and a strip of cloth is hanging on the right side , The satin boots are also covered with mud spots. At first glance, they look like refugees who have been robbed by bandits and have no choice but to live on the streets.

Only under the messy forehead, a pair of eyes are still shining, as clear as a mountain spring, looking at him pitifully at this moment, with a look of being wronged.

Right now, surrounded by the guards of Baichuan Villa, he is alone without seeing any companions.

Mei Qian's heart sank, she bowed her hands to the guards and said: "This is my junior brother, I don't know the rules when I first entered the rivers and lakes, please forgive me."

Then Wei Yang who came out waved his hand, and all the guards who stopped Ruan Xi retreated, only three or four people retreated to the door, guarding them not too far away.

"Senior Brother!" Ruan Xi was hungry and pounced on him, as if seeing a life-saving straw, he pulled his sleeve and shouted, "Sunset City, Sunset City have arrested Miss Ye and Miss Hua!"

Mu Jiuqiu stood up abruptly: "Yue'er?"

Another figure rushed out of the door ahead of him, rushed to Ruan Xi, and said in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

Ruan Xi lowered her head in shame: "Ms. Ruan Xi was entrusted by Miss Cao...we met Xuanwu Dousu in Sunset City in Bianzhou, Miss Ye..."

Cao Qin's face turned pale, and her figure swayed. If Wei Yang hadn't supported her, she would have almost fallen down: "Fu Shu doesn't know martial arts, she..."

Behind him, someone shouted in surprise: "The Xuanwu Department of Sunset City is the leader of Yan Wuya! This man is cruel and bloodthirsty. If the two girls fall into his hands, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Ruan Xi was disturbed by what they said, and became even more anxious: "Let's go to the rescue as soon as possible, maybe there is still time!"

Mei Qian steadied him, and said in a deep voice, "They fell into the hands of the Xuanwu Department, did you see them with your own eyes?"

Ruan Xi nodded vigorously: "The teahouse in Folding Flower Lane is their stronghold! There are so many of them, we are ambushed..."

Mei Qian interrupted him: "Can you see where they went?"

Ruan Xi was annoyed: "I was knocked out at that time."

Some people doubted: "Since you were knocked out, how did you escape? Yan Wuya's thieves never leave, and never let people go at will!"

"I……"

Mei Qian pulled his attention back again, without looking at the person who spoke: "Since you came to Baichuan Villa for help, you think you have a clue?"

Ruan Xi nodded again and again: "Senior Duan said, only Chaowen will know this!"

Chaowenhui... Mei Qian didn't ask about the senior Duan he was talking about, but just pondered for a moment, subconsciously turned around, and looked at Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun stood at the door with everyone at some point.
