farce a ups and downs

The innkeeper was blowing his beard and staring, worried that he didn't know what to do. At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the door: "We have booked this inn."

The spectators around the entrance of Feiyu Inn looked at it together. It was a team of about thirty people, lined up two by two, all dressed in blue and white attire, with swords hanging around their waists, and they had an extraordinary bearing.

Someone recognized the leader: "Isn't this Kunlun Chuxi Jun?"

Mr. Chu Xi has a graceful name, but he is an out-and-out rough guy with a square face, beard, and a pair of piercing eyes under thick eyebrows.Just looking at the face, he is an upright and unyielding character. In fact, when the Kunlun Sword Sect was destroyed 20 years ago, it was Chu Xijun who led the remaining disciples to escape from birth, avoiding pursuit, and established the Little Kunlun Sect.At that time, some people criticized him for not staying with the sect to live and die, but choosing to take advantage of the chaos and flee, but it is also because of him that the Kunlun Sword Sect can continue, and the Kunlun Sword Art will not be completely lost.

Everyone unanimously moved out of the way for the Little Kunlun Sect.

"Huh?" Chu Xijun paused, raised his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, "Isn't this the head of the Lingjue sect? Why, are you finally interested in disturbing this conference this year?"

"Master Chu speaks seriously. Luo thinks he doesn't have the ability to disturb the meeting. It's okay to watch the battle."

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

The spectators didn't expect that the person who argued with the innkeeper just now and was full of business spirit was Luo Wenchu, who won the first place in the two sword-questioning tournaments in a row! ?

Hearing the panting sound of others, Mr. Chu Xi felt concerned.

I had heard that the Lingjue faction would attend the meeting before, but now I just confirmed the news again from the head of the Lingjue faction.

As for Luo Wenchu ​​not having the right to compete as a bystander, Mr. Chu Xi was skeptical.

There is an unwritten rule in the sword-questioning conference - knights over the age of 25 are not allowed to participate in the conference.

This is obviously specially stipulated for the heads of various sects, otherwise every head will come to participate, and it will be too bullying to the juniors.But in the first three conferences, Luo Wenchu ​​participated as the head of the Lingjue faction and won the first place. Although there were various external reasons, Luo Wenchu ​​had not yet reached twenty, but this kind of behavior had already destroyed the spirit of the competition. Fairness and impartiality.

With his "precedent", some sect masters participated in the next two conferences. Now this rule has become useless and no longer has any binding force.

Therefore, Chu Xijun smiled after hearing this, and didn't take it seriously.

"I heard that the head of Chu is going to book this inn. I'm sorry, but we, Ling Jue, have booked this inn."

Chu Xijun stared at Luo Wenchu ​​with a good eye, but the other party just took out his fan and fanned it, narrowing his eyes comfortably.

The two of them didn't make any moves yet, but the people around them somehow felt the secret rivalry between the two forces. Even though the meeting hadn't started yet, the swords were on the verge of breaking out under the sword-discussion stage, which was really exciting!

"The next door..."

"The next door is covered too."

"..."

Shen Feiyu couldn't help looking curiously at the people around him for a while. In his impression, it seemed that there was no sect leader whom the master wanted to see. Similarly, there was no sect leader who wanted to see the master.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly felt a strong sense of being watched. Shen Feiyu became alert and sensed the source of the gaze calmly, but he did not expect it to be from the team of the Little Kunlun Sect.

With a flick of his gaze, he met a pair of eyes full of anger.

It was the man I met in Yangzhou.

Unexpectedly, the pervert who followed Miss Fang turned out to be a disciple of the Little Kunlun Sect.

Seeing that Shen Feiyu had found himself, the man stepped out of the team in one step, and walked in front of Shen Feiyu amidst the crowd's exclamation, drew his sword, pointing down, and hovered in front of Shen Feiyu.

Shen Feiyu didn't move.

The man stubbornly pushed the sword towards Shen Feiyu: "Take it."

When he moved, Luo Wenchu ​​was ready to stop him at any time, but when he realized that this person was just trying to challenge the little apprentice, he raised his eyebrows and whispered to Shen Feiyu, "The enemy?"

Shen Feiyu shook her head, her expression complicated and indistinguishable.He didn't go to pick up the sword, he opened his lips slightly, and his tone was very light, but the content was enough to make people jump into a rage: "Since your Excellency is an upright disciple, you should restrain your behavior and abide by the etiquette. Your Excellency will not be mistaken for what happened that day. Ashamed, you want to take your anger out on me instead?"

Being reprimanded in public, that person was already blushing, staring at Shen Feiyu with red eyes: "Let's... compete!"

Chu Xijun's face changed: "When will the disciples of our Kunlun Sect get the turn of the Ling Jue Sect?"

Luo Wenchu's reaction could not be described as unpleasant: "The grievances between the juniors, why should the banner of the sect be raised? In my opinion, if the two of them talk about the situation that day, and leave it to everyone present to judge, no one is biased, how about it?" ?”

The person who wanted to challenge Shen Feiyu swiped, his face turned from red to white, obviously he also knew that if this matter was pointed out in public as Luo Wenchu ​​said, he would definitely not be the one to be right.

The two headmen are both human beings, so there is nothing they don't understand.

Chu Xijun glanced at his disciples: "Changqing, in front of Sect Master Luo, don't be presumptuous, why don't you back down?"

Li Changqing tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, reluctantly hung it down, nodded in agreement, and then returned to the queue.

Chu Xijun put on a smirk: "This disciple has always been casual in the sect, and today he made a fuss in front of Sect Master Luo and his disciples. I will accompany you on his behalf."

"What's the head of Chu talking about? It's just the entanglement of the juniors. What's the point? What do you say, Feiyu?"

"Yes, Master."

This matter was revealed, and Chu Xijun drove the donkey along the slope, "Since the head of Luo said that these two inns have been taken over by the Ling Jue faction, then we will change to another inn, and see you at the stage of the sword."

It is said that we will meet in the audience, but everyone knows that we will see you on the stage.

The two sides left at the touch of a button, and no one took advantage of the other.

Looking back at Luo Wenchu, he saw the shopkeeper of Feiyu Inn sitting downcastly, and gave the little apprentice a look, meaning what to do.

Shen Feiyu spread his hands, saying that he should live first.

Ah Cai returned to Shenzhuang, did not find Shen Mingyu in the young master's room, immediately ran to the west of the "black house", and found young master Shen curled up in a ball on the stone bed.

After waking up Shen Mingyu, Ah Cai told Shen Mingyu exactly what he saw in front of the Feiyu Inn this morning.

After sleeping in the cold little dark room all night, my whole body panicked, but when I heard the words of my elder brother, "Your brother is naughty", I still couldn't stop the corners of my mouth from cracking, and the upward arc couldn't be retracted. Fortunately, the light was dim, so no second person noticed his expression.

"What should I do, young master? Do you want to continue to put pressure on the shopkeeper?"

"No need." Shen Mingyu cleared her throat and stretched her waist, "Tell the shopkeeper, you must provide my brother with good food and drink."

"Huh? But this..."

"What is this?"

"Isn't this against the original intention of the young master?"

"My original intention?" Shen Mingyu looked down and landed on Ah Cai, "I need you to tell me my original intention? Who taught you to guess the master's thoughts?"

"The little one doesn't dare, the little one knows his mistake." Ah Cai hastily knelt down on the ground, knocked his head on the floor, and made a muffled sound.

"Okay, get up." Shen Mingyu waved his hand impatiently, Ah Caifang straightened up tremblingly, Shen Mingyu snorted, and asked again, "Didn't my mother know about this?"

"The young master ordered not to tell Madam, but the younger one didn't."

In other words, his mother did ask.

Shen Mingyu had always been skeptical about the accident three years ago. He originally wanted to privately find the refugees who kidnapped Shen Yu, but he got the news that these people died suddenly.Presumably someone didn't want him to know the truth back then, and in the entire Liuzhou City, there was only one person who sincerely hoped that the elder brother would leave and cared for him in every possible way.

Apart from Shen Yu, Shen Mingyu didn't think about anything else.

However, it was precisely because this person was his mother that even if she knew about it, there was nothing she could do.

Shen Mingyu was silent for a while, then asked: "Where is my father?"

"Back to the young master, the master stayed by the sword-making furnace last night. When I came back, I heard that the master didn't sleep until dawn."

"Then don't bother him."

Shen Mingyu got up and walked out.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Go find my brother."

After hastily eating the breakfast delivered by his servants, before Shen Yu sent someone to look for him, Shen Mingyu stepped out of the gate of Shenzhuang.

As soon as he went out, he saw a girl leaning against the wall.

Shen Mingyu lowered her face, turned around and left.

"stop!"

The girl let out a low cry, seeing that Shen Mingyu kept touching the ground with her toes, she jumped up, and after catching up with Shen Mingyu with Qinggong, she put one hand on his head, made a clever effort, turned over and stood still.

"you--!!!"

No one would be in a good mood if someone pinned their head down, and Shen Mingyu was even more outraged: "How dare you!"

The girl snorted coldly, full of arrogance: "Not only do I dare to touch your head, I also want to beat you up."

"Yang Xian! Don't think you can be presumptuous by marrying our family. My brother won't marry you."

The girl—Yang Xian looked at him like a fool, and didn't tell Shen Mingyu about the agreement with Shen Feiyu.

"Okay, I didn't come to you to quarrel with you, I asked you, is your brother back?"

Shen Mingyu: "Why should I tell you?"

"Just because you sent people to search all the inns in Liuzhou City yesterday." Yang Xian rolled her eyes, "The people found out the inns under our family name, apart from your brother coming back, what else could make you do this? Mobilize the crowd?"

Shen Mingyu was silent for a while, then said, "I didn't find him."

"lie."

"???"

"Feiyu told me that as long as you lie, you must look down."

Shen Mingyu felt that she was about to suffocate.

Life is already so difficult, and the elder brother still keeps turning his elbows outward.

Seeing people still not answering, Yang Xian gradually lost patience.

To her, Shen Feiyu is considered a close friend, a member of the family in Liuzhou City, Yang Xian only sees him pleasing to the eye.After Shen Feiyu's accidental disappearance three years ago, Yang Xian mobilized his family's strength but couldn't find anyone. Fortunately, his father had a good personal relationship with Mr. Mu, and he learned some reliable news by catching wind and shadows. Shen Mingyu who did nothing.

She wanted to ask more than once: Are these two really brothers?Why is the status and treatment at home like heaven and earth?

One time she went to Shenzhuang with her father as a guest, and the dignified young master of Shenzhuang was actually doing the work of servants, serving tea and water to the guests, kneeling on the cold ground with no cushions, listening to the adults talking for hours at a time Boring flattery, Mrs. Shen's reputation is to train the eldest son, and that's all. In her opinion, Shen Feiyu's etiquette to the elders can't find any faults, but Mrs. Shen just said, "You did something wrong, and you will receive the punishment yourself." " expression.

Afterwards, knowing that Shen Feiyu was often locked in a small dark room, Yang Xian could no longer have any thoughts about Shen Yu other than being bored.

"Don't be inked, hurry up." Shen Feiyu's thin and small appearance when he was a child reappeared in his mind, and Yang Xian felt bored, pushing him forward amidst Shen Mingyu's refusal.

Shen Mingyu: "Don't push me! Don't think that if I don't hit women, I don't care about you!"

Yang Xian picked out her ears, "What are you thinking, besides, you can't beat me."

As we all know, Yang Xian is the one with the most powerful force value among the children of the aristocratic family in Liuzhou City.

Shen Mingyu refused, but to no avail, and resigned to her fate, she brought people to Feiyu Inn.

After asking the boss, they found out that Shen Feiyu and the others had left the house half a quarter of an hour ago. The reason seemed to be that the disciples of the Ling Jue faction were stopped at the gate of the city by the young master of the Qu family.

composer?

The two looked at each other, thinking of the same person.

The first young master of the Qu family was an official in the imperial capital, and he has not returned for a long time. The second young master Qu has been in business for many years, traveling all over the world, and rarely comes back. The young master Qu Jingzhi is different from the previous two elder brothers. , it stands to reason that it should come back.

Could it be him who stopped Ling Jue faction?
