When Ling'er and Liu Bai finished visiting Anyang Street, the busiest street in Luoyang City, it was already past Shenshi. After they had dinner together, Liu Bai returned to the inn, while Ling'er returned to the Luoyang Branch of Yixingmen.
Ling'er walked through the still busy crowd and walked to the outside of the Messenger's Courtyard. There were two young men guarding the entrance of the courtyard, and they nodded enthusiastically to Ling'er.
With a thought in mind, Ling'er stepped forward and asked, "Brothers, are the envoys here?"
"No." The short answer made Ling'er feel cold. A big chunk.
"Miss Ling'er" Yixing Dongshi's voice sounded behind Ling'er.
Ling'er turned around in a panic and said hello to Ambassador Yixingdong, feeling a little uneasy about being caught red-handed.
"Have you had dinner, girl?" Ambassador Yixing Dong saw her slightly embarrassed look and asked with a smile.
Linger nodded.
"Miss, are you looking for us if you have something to do?" Ambassador Yixing Dong asked kindly.
Ling'er shook her head and said, "I'm just passing by."
"If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me." Yixingdong paused before continuing. He said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
Ling'er's face turned red. It seemed that her question just now was heard by Brother Dongshi, so she only responded, "Okay." ".
Seeing that Ling'er didn't ask any more questions, Yixingdong was a little disappointed. He said, "There are many martial arts people in Luoyang these days. Girls, please pay attention to your safety."
"Thank you very much. I will be careful about Brother Dongzhi's concern," Ling'er said gratefully.
"Did Ambassador Bei bring some concealed weapons for self-defense to the girl? Do you want to take them with you?" Ambassador Yixing asked with concern.
"Brother Bei Shi gave me a lot of Thunderbolt Arrows, but I haven't used them yet. Now the Yixingmen sub-jar is very safe." Ling'er said.
"It is better to carry these self-defense concealed weapons with you. They are just in case. Besides, there are many people coming and going in the branch recently, and there are many people coming in and out from outside. The girl must not be careless." Envoy Yixingdong said sincerely.
"Okay. I will definitely take it with me in the future. Please rest assured, brother Dongshang." Ling'er responded.
"That's good, if there is nothing else." Yixing Dongshi did not continue, but waited for Ling'er to speak.
I don’t know where she suddenly found the courage. Ling’er asked cautiously, “Brother Zhong Envoy hasn’t arrived in Luoyang yet?” As soon as she said those words, she began to regret it. Everyone had misunderstood her and Zhong Envoy. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to explain clearly the relationship between the eldest brother and the envoy
Hearing this, the envoy Yixingdong did not answer immediately, but couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he said meaningfully "The girl finally asked him."
Ling'er's face turned red again, and she felt even more regretful. < /p>
“No need."Ling'er said hurriedly, "I'm just asking."
Envoy Yixingdong continued, "In the past few days, various sects have arrived in Luoyang one after another, including members of the Demon Sect, Baidu God Sect and other evil sects. The envoy's brother is responsible for keeping track of their whereabouts. "
Ling'er nodded clearly. She was very grateful to Brother Dongshi for telling her all these details.
Yixing Dongshi smiled and said, "Miss Ling'er, from now on If you want to know about Brother Zhongshi, just ask everyone directly without going around the bush. "
"Uh" Ling'er was embarrassed. He didn't expect that his thoughts had been clearly seen by Brother Dongshi. He sighed in his heart, "Brother Dongshi's observation is so keen." "
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Ambassador Yixingdong smiled and said, "The girl didn't know something. As soon as the envoy arrived in Luoyang and learned that everyone had made a joke with the girl, he got angry and confessed From now on, no one can talk nonsense in front of the girl or take the initiative to mention things about him. "After saying that, Ambassador Yixingdong looked at Ling'er playfully.
Ling'er was secretly shocked. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Envoy Yixingdong continued. “I’ve known him for so many years, and I’ve never seen him be so considerate to anyone. Therefore, in the future, if girls want to ask anything, just ask us directly. ”
“Yeah. "Ling'er responded to him gently.
The next day, the Yixing Villa specially built by Yixingmen for the various sects participating in the Wulin Heroes Meeting was ready.
One large Early in the morning, many sects who received invitations from Yixing Gate moved in, including the Snow Flower Sect.
Yixing Villa is more like a group of courtyards than a large courtyard. The distribution is designed in a shape similar to the word "Hui", with only one entrance and exit, which is the south gate of Yixing Villa.
Ling'er, Liu Bai and their group walked into Yixing Villa with their luggage. As soon as you enter the south gate, you will see a small garden. Although the garden is small, the green leaves and red flowers set off among the rockery rocks are very beautiful. There are stone paths on the left and right sides of the garden, with lush grass on both sides. Walking into the path on the right, there are independent small courtyards on both sides of the path. The courtyards are named according to their directions. At this time, the courtyards on their right are Dongyi Pavilion, Donger Pavilion, Dongsan Pavilion and Dongsi Pavilion, and the courtyards on their left are in order. They are Zhongyi Pavilion, Zhonger 2 Pavilion, and Zhongsan Pavilion. Then the path turns west. On the right side are North 1st Pavilion, North 2nd Pavilion, North 3rd Pavilion, and North 4th Pavilion. On the left are Zhongsan Pavilion, Zhongsi Pavilion, and North 4th Pavilion. Zhongwu Pavilion, then the path goes forward and turns south. On the right side are Xisi Pavilion, Xisan Pavilion, Xierqi Pavilion, and Xiyi Pavilion. On the left side are Zhongwu Pavilion, Zhongliu Pavilion, and Zhongqi Pavilion. The path Turning east again, we returned to the small garden of Shicai.
Since the Snow Flower Sect moved in earlier, they were arranged to live in the East Second Pavilion, and the Taihang Sect had already moved in in the East First Pavilion. In the Dongsan Pavilion in the north lived the Taiyue Sect disciples who moved in a little later than they did. After some time, the disciples of the Hengshan Sect also arrived and moved into the small courtyard of the Dongsi Pavilion. It is a spacious patio with four cabins around it. Ling'er and Liu Bai live in one room, and the others in Xuehua School live in one room.The disciples lived in three other rooms. The furnishings in the house are simple and plain, with a few beds and some tables, chairs and wardrobes, in line with Yixingmen's usual style.
"Ling'er" Ling'er's familiar voice came from outside the East Second Pavilion.
Linger ran out happily, and the person who came was Ji Bobo Ji Cangyu, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Uncle Ji" Ling'er took Ji Cangyu's arm and said excitedly, "Why are you coming to the Wulin Heroes Meeting?"
Ji Cangyu looked at him with a loving look on his face Ling'er, smiled and said, "Why can only Ling'er come to join in the fun? Uncle Ji can't come."
"If you can come, of course you can. By the way, these two eldest brothers are..." Ling'er looked at He asked, looking at the two young men in their twenties in front of them.
Ji Cangyu introduced to Ling'er, "You two are Uncle Ji's friends in the Beggar Clan. This is Wu Xing and that is Li Dali."
Wu Xing and Li Dali nodded to Ling'er and said hello, "Miss Ling'er."
"I have met the two eldest brothers." Ling'er smiled and nodded to them in return, and then asked, "This time the martial arts heroes will be the only ones in the beggars gang." Are you two brothers going to participate?"
"No, Elder Liu will also bring some disciples from our gang. I and Brother Li will just come with the village owner earlier," Wu Xing explained.
"Elder Liu and his party estimate that they will arrive in Luoyang in the next two days." Li Dali said.
At this time, Guo Qiang led several junior brothers and walked out of the room after hearing the sound.
"Master Ji, Brother Wu, Brother Li, it's been a long time. Please come and sit in the room," Guo Qiang invited with his hand.
"Okay, I won't bother you heroes." Ji Cangyu and others entered the room one after another.
The originally empty room suddenly became lively.
"Time flies, the white horse has passed, and we have been apart from Xinghua Camp for several months." Guo Qiang said with emotion.
"I wonder how Elder Yu's health is?" Li Dali asked with concern.
"As mentioned in the letter a few days ago, the meridians have basically recovered, but he is still unconscious." Guo Qiang said worriedly.
"I hope Elder Yu will wake up soon." Wu Xing said and sighed.
"By the way, how did everyone go back to the Beggar Clan to investigate?" Guo Qiang asked.
Li Dali shook his head and said frustratedly, "Nothing has been gained. The confidant that Elder Yu sent to Yixingmen to deliver the deployment plan letter has disappeared, and even his family members have disappeared. "
"Missing" Chen Song repeated.
"We are a step too late. I'm afraid he has been silenced long ago." Wu Xing said helplessly.
"And Brother Zhao, who was mentioned by Chen Tan leader of Yixingmen Xinghuaying branch as the messenger, can't be found either. No one in the gang has ever seen him come to share the helm." Li Dali continued.
"So, all the clues are broken" Guo Qiang asked in surprise.
"There is one more thing that you may not know yet. On the day of the Demon Gathering Conference, Elder Wang and his injured disciple were ambushed by the Demon Cult on their way back to the branch." Li Dali continued.explain.
"Isn't it escorted by brothers from Yixingmen?" Chen Song asked.
"Except for Elder Wang and his two eight-bag disciples, everyone else..." Li Dali said sadly.
"Who are the disciples who were killed?" Guo Qiang asked.
"Except for the brothers from Yixingmen, they are basically all under Elder Yu." Li Dali replied.
"There is something fishy." Guo Qiang said.
"Yes." Ji Cangyu said, "There are many doubts about the ambush set by the Demon Sect. The main force of the Demon Sect was restrained by us in Xiaopo Valley, and they were beaten to a pulp by us. Why didn't we call in backup and instead sent an ambush? After that, we rushed to the ambush location mentioned by Elder Wang. There were only some traces of fighting, but there were no corpses of the demon cult members and the dead brothers."
"It is most likely that Elder Wang himself did it, removing Elder Yu's men and killing the brothers of Yixing Clan to silence them." Wu Xing said angrily.
"It's a pity that we don't have any evidence." Li Dali said sadly, "Otherwise, we could have avenged those brothers who died innocently."
"After this incident happened, "Elder Liu, who never asked much about the gang, also felt that something was hidden, so he secretly launched an investigation into the serious injury of the elder and the death of a large number of disciples in the gang, but later had to give up because there were no clues." Ji Cangyu said.
"Is Elder Liu a big threat to Elder Wang?" Guo Qiang asked.
Wu Xing and Li Dali looked at each other and understood what Guo Qiang meant.
Wu Xing said, "In the past, Elder Liu did not pose much of a threat to Elder Wang, but after this incident, Elder Liu was very concerned about helping people, and he had many disagreements with Elder Wang, and even once "They even fought."
"If these were all done by Elder Wang, then he would take action against Elder Liu soon," Ji Cangyu said.
Ling'er listened carefully, but only half understood. She couldn't quite understand these complicated grievances and grievances even after thinking about them.
Liu Bai saw the confusion on Ling'er's face and patted the back of her hand gently, thinking, "I'm afraid the Beggar Clan is going to be in chaos this time."
