Although Zhuge Yi assured that Qin Wuye and Ling Ye would come to Ciyu Town before the martial arts competition, the eight patriarchs were still restless day and night.In particular, Patriarch Mo sent Mo Shenghuan to Wuxin Courtyard several times to inquire about the news, which made Zhuge Yi and Li Haitang feel that Patriarch Mo's keen insight was too terrifying.Mo Shenghuan ran errands hard and didn't get any benefits, but was regarded as a thorn in the side by Mrs.
Mo, and the eldest brother Mo Shengjun saw him like an enemy.There is still more than half a month before the martial arts competition, the calm Ciyu Town has become noisy, the major restaurants, inns, restaurants and song and dance shops are full, and the chivalrous warriors from all walks of life who walk the rivers and lakes are pouring into Ciyu Town like a flood, and even the beggars' nests in the town have been occupied by the gangsters who live in no fixed place.Zhuge Yi was worried about Li Haitang's safety, and quietly arranged his escort team inside and outside the Pavilion from Mo Yuxuan in the Cold Pavilion.Ling Eighteen also generously sent half of his guards to the Pavilion, and Qin Wu also sent half of Qin's Zhuangzi's secret guards to the mansion in Beimin Alley, so that he could help in time if something happened.Everything is arranged, just waiting for all the knights from all walks of life to gather and have a grand martial arts competition.Compared with the secret layout of the Wuxin Courtyard and the Pavilion, the patriarchs and powerful lords of the eight clans were also quietly arranged.In addition to the guards of each prefecture, the guards of the grange on the outskirts of the town cannot be reduced, and the public and private shops in the town of Porcelain Yu are also secretly arranged with some guards.Several patriarchs sent their private thugs, guards, spies, etc., all who were skilled in kung fu, to various important places, and even the ladies and girls in the back house had a servant to protect them.When the people learned that the murderous Jianghu people came to Ciyu Town to hold a martial arts competition, they were so frightened that they closed their doors and did not even cultivate their own farmland.The whole porcelain Yu town is in danger, the former bustling street market is now depressed and desolate, except for restaurants, inns, restaurants, song and dance workshops and other guests, those rouge shops, silk shops, jade shops and so on are no longer open to welcome guests.On the surface, it is said that the owner is preparing more complete goods, but in fact, he is afraid of being robbed.The porcelain-making workshops were suspended, so they could only stay at home and wait for the tournament to be held early, and then send away the evil spirits and let the town return to peace.They also secretly scolded the old thief king for being a dizzy bastard, and if he had to get along with Porcelain Yu Town, why didn't he harm other towns?
Every morning, he came to Wuxin Courtyard to accompany Zhuge Yi for breakfast, and by the way, he listened to the news of the shadow guard, which has become something that Li Haitang enjoys.Hearing the shadow guard learn from the people sitting in their own courtyard and scolding the dizzy old thief king, and then look at the old steward who came with Qin Wu, Li Haitang smiled and covered his stomach and fell into Zhuge Yi's arms.The old steward smiled helplessly: "Little master, you have to avenge me."
The bad idea of the tournament was really not mine, there are wronged debtors and owners, and there are other people who should be scolded. ”"Hehehehe, the old steward has long retired from the rivers and lakes, and he is the chief steward of the Qin family's Zhuangzi.The people are scolding the old thief king, what do you have to do with it. ”Li Haitang took the initiative to offer tea to please the old steward to calm his anger.Qin Wu instigated: "Look at how biased our little master's heart is, he knows who the people should scold, so he has to reverse black and white and refer to the deer as a horse." ”"If it is Qin Wuye's turn and Lingye next time, my heart will also be biased."
Li Haitang said flatteringly, Xingyan pretended to glance inadvertently at the slightly open door, and leaned into Zhuge Yi's ear and whispered: "Master Ling eavesdropped." ”Zhuge Yi hugged his slender waist and said loudly: "Since you are here, show up, eavesdropping is not what Ling Ye's identity should do." ”"Hahaha, what should I do with such an identity?
Let's talk about it. ”Ling Eighteen pushed the door in, carrying a delicate food box in his hand.Seeing the little girl reclining in Zhuge Yi's arms, he looked at her with a smile and put the delicate food box in her little hand."
Eat, Yuanxiangzhai's newly baked mung bean shortbread, it's still steaming when I come."
Li Haitang hugged the food box and asked with a smile: "When did Master Ling come?"
Have you been seen?
”"Of course."
Ling Eighteen said proudly, sat down to take the tea offered by Zhuge Yi, took a sip, and said, "I walked through the main gate openly, and I happened to meet the patriarch surnamed Mo.He stuttered when he saw me, let alone walk in. ”Thinking of the chance encounter at the door, the old fox surnamed Mo looked obscene and greedy for life and afraid of death, Ling 18 felt that he should take a knife and "poof" twice to give the old fox a happy death.Li Haitang sat cross-legged, holding a delicate food box in his arms, picking up the sweet and not greasy mung bean shortbread and eating it, and muttered sullenly: "Patriarch Mo is a fox in human skin, and Patriarch Li is a wolf in human skin."
One of them is kind and evil-hearted, and the other seems to be loyal but ruthless. ”"What about the patriarch surnamed Wu?
What is he?
”Ling Eighteen felt that her evaluation of the eight patriarchs was very interesting, and she couldn't help but think of the Wu patriarch and his wife who had been enemies with her at every turn recently.Li Haitang finished eating a piece of mung bean shortbread and drinking a cup of tea before saying disdainfully: "Patriarch Wu is a wicked person, his face is disgusting and evil, he can't wait for everyone in the world to be trampled underfoot." ”"It seems that I should meet this invincible Wu clan patriarch on this trip."
Ling 18 said with interest, seeing that the little girl shook her head disapprovingly, and asked curiously, "What?"
You disagree?
”Distributing mung bean shortbread to Qin Wu and the old steward, and pouring tea for Zhuge Yi, Li Haitang was always silent.She didn't know much about the Wu patriarch, she only felt that the Wu patriarch was too arrogant and more difficult to get along with than the Mo patriarch.Seeing that she didn't answer, Ling Eighteen was very interested in the Wu patriarch, so he explained on her behalf."
The weakness of the Wu patriarch stems from the lack of children to inherit the power of his patriarch, he is jealous of others having children, he is afraid of being ridiculed, and he is angry with his wife and concubine for being incompetent, so his control of power has made him crazy.His arrogance is also made of humility in his heart, a few days ago he was defeated after several vicious battles with Begonia, I am afraid that he has turned into a wolf at this moment and is waiting for an opportunity to move. ”"Looks like you've laid this game at the right time.Coup!
Coup!
”Qin Wu was amazed, and admired Zhuge Yi's exquisite plan.Ling Eighteen smiled without saying a word, looking at Begonia, who specialized in eating mung bean shortbread.I believe that she is quick to think, just based on Qin Wuye's praise, I am afraid that she has guessed that the martial arts competition is Zhuge Yi's plan.In other words, others will be eager to ask questions to prove their conjectures, and she can eat bread with her head as calm as water, this calm and calm heart makes him admire.Zhuge Yi proudly greeted Ling Eighteen, the little girl he chose was very good, right?"
Okay."
Ling Eighteen said with a smile, his eyes suddenly darkened, and with a flick of his hand, a silver-white light flew out of his palm like lightning, and disappeared in an instant through the blue veil of the window......
Zhuge Yi sneered: "Porcelain Yuzhen is really not peaceful, and even my residence dares to break in." ”A black shadow broke through the window and fell in, Leng Yan jumped in through the window and stepped on the man's back, and scolded with a smile: "It's not a small courage, when you wait for the martial arts competition, Lord Leng will give you a ride!"
”The man struggled and said sullenly: "Master Zhuge Gongzi, my master is invited!"
”() Glory to the end
