Chen Qianfan, who originally intended to secure his position as the landlord at this time, was first silenced by Xie Rulan. In order to maintain his low-key and humble image, he naturally would not say anything more.

Quietly watched as the other elders presided over the completion of the ceremony, offering offerings, burning incense, and burning paper. Finally, when Jiang Huan was already drowsy, it was finally over and everyone was about to disperse.

Elder Wu just came back, but he hurried in and shouted: "On behalf of the landlord, the fourth elder is back, and now we are fighting with Guanshi Zhang outside the door!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately changed. Every time Xu Hui came back, he would always make a fuss, constantly suspecting that Chen Qianfan was plotting something wrong.

And Chen Qianfan always had a good temper and didn't care about him. Of course, this was seen in the eyes of some people who were loyal to the old landlord. Xu Hui also had some support in Fengxue Building, but they were much weaker than Chen Qianfan. .

The sects of Jianghu have always respected martial arts. Even Xu Hui, the famous sharp sword in Jianghu, can't compare with Chen Qianfan, who is the master of the wind and snow generation.

At the same time, the apprentices taught by the old host, Duan Cheng, each have different weapons. Xu Hui is famous for his superb sword skills, while Chen Qianfan is unique in the world with a short sword in one sleeve.

Only the big apprentice Jiang Yun and his biological daughter Duan Lingyan made Duan Cheng's unique skill - the whip.

Jiang Yun's nine-section whip is sharp and murderous, and he has completely inherited Duan Cheng's mantle. He has also been taught by Duan Cheng himself to create an original mental method, and he has learned a whole body of pure internal strength, and even the green is better than the blue.And Duan Lingyan only learned one or two things from his father, and the soft red long whip around his waist can be regarded as a second-rate master in the martial arts.

Each of Duancheng's four disciples is not a simple person, and each has its own merits.

Not to mention, since Jiang Yun's death, the person who has benefited the most is Chen Qianfan. Xu Hui has always been at odds with Chen Qianfan, and that steward was supported by Chen Qianfan. After they got down, they started fighting outside the door.

Everyone in the hall was having a hard time distinguishing their thoughts, Chen Qianfan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and walked out of the room helplessly, while sighing in a low voice: "It's true fourth brother, today is the anniversary of the death of senior brother, why did he make a fuss at this juncture?" ,well……"

Hearing this, an elder on the side raised his face and said: "Xu Hui is getting more and more stupid. I heard that he threatened to divide Fengxue Tower a while ago. If the old Louzhu Jiangzhu is still alive, how can he be so presumptuous?" ?!"

The two elders beside him also nodded in agreement, while an elder who had kept a low profile in the corner spoke nice words for Xu Hui at this moment.

"Elder Fang's words are wrong. You and I, the eight elders here, all grew up watching Xu Hui. Elder Fang doesn't know who he is? How can you trust the rumors outside? I think it must be Zhang Huaichun who offended him first. After Xu Hui, Xu Hui will be so impulsive!"

Some of the other people remained silent, and some also agreed with the elder's words, but the elder Fang said: "Who doesn't know that today is the birthday of Lord Jiang, Xu Hui is too reckless!"

Seeing the opportunity, Elder Wu also interjected: "Just now when the old man came in, he heard that Zhang Huaichun had already been beaten to death, and Xu Hui didn't stop, he was going to beat him to death! On behalf of the landlord, you should have a good judgment!"

Hearing these words, they thought of Xu Hui's temperament, and the elders also started talking about it.

Before meeting anyone, the quarrel has already become like this. Xu Hui's popularity is really bad, just because he speaks too straight and has a violent temper.

Xie Rulan didn't bother to look at them, but Jiang Huan regained his energy because of this, pulled Xie Rulan's clothes, told him to lower his head, and asked in a soft voice: "Brother Xie, why did the little uncle fight again when he came back?"

Xie Rulan was also very helpless, Xu Hui did things recklessly, and had an old feud with Zhang Huaichun, the manager. Not only would he attack every time he was provoked, but he would often utter nonsense, giving Chen Qianfan an opportunity to blame Xie Rulan. .

Today is a special day, Xu Hui will not do it easily, the people he respects most are the old landlord and Jiang Yun, but he still did it, it can only be that Chen Qianfan wanted him to do it on purpose.

Then take this opportunity to find out who it is, and securely secure the position of the host.

It's not that Xie Rulan doesn't understand this, but even if he knows everything, for the sake of Jiang Huan's safety, he can't say it easily.

The elders over there were arguing, Xie Rulan comforted Jiang Huan's forehead, and when Chen Qianfan spoke, the elders in the room immediately quieted down.

Chen Qianfan sighed: "Elders, don't worry! Maybe Huai Chun made a mistake this time, I'll go out and have a look first..."

The elders didn't speak any more, but Elder Wu seemed to be annoyed that he refuted Chen Qianfan.

"Zhang Huaichun and Xu Hui have old enemies, but no matter how bad Zhang Huaichun is, he has supported Fengxuelou for many years. There is no credit but hard work. It is clear that Xu Hui is holding him every time. On behalf of the landlord, if something happens to Zhang Huaichun this time , you can no longer protect Xu Hui!"

It is clear that these two people are acting and singing together.

Xie Rulan was secretly very impatient, and suddenly a loud question came from outside the room, blocking all the words that Chen Qianfan, who was full of embarrassment, was about to say.

"Elder Wu really has a clever mouth. If it weren't for Zhang Huaichun's many unrighteous actions, how could I hold on to him?"

As the voice fell, a stalwart man came in from outside the house, with a broad knife on his back, wearing a blue shirt with narrow sleeves, tall and not too strong.That body is muscular, well-proportioned, and his complexion is brassy. He looks very energetic. Even if he is unshaven, he can see that he is extraordinary.

Especially those eyes, which were as black as a speck of ink, and there seemed to be a starry sky hovering in them, shining brightly.

This person is Xu Hui.

Xie Rulan knew that his grandfather had a habit - he would never accept people who were not good-looking as apprentices.

It is said that people should not be judged by their appearance, but his grandfather Duan Cheng wanted to be pleasing to the eye, and he didn't want to be that ugly but born with excellent martial arts genius.

Xu Hui walked in while talking, his tall figure gave people a feeling of oppression for no reason, he looked at Chen Qianfan who was a head shorter than him with a half-smile.

"I would like to thank Senior Brother Chen for always speaking kind words for me."

Chen Qianfan smiled, then stretched out his hand and patted Xu Hui's shoulder. With an affectionate look, he said with a smile, "The younger brother is back! The last time you fought with Zhang Huaichun, the elder brother did something wrong. I didn't ask clearly. To blame you, the senior brother is here to apologize to you, and this time the senior brother will definitely believe you."

Xu Hui glanced at him with a smile on his face, then turned his body sideways to shake off the opponent's hand, and asked Elder Wu: "Elder Wu, I heard what you said just now. Let me ask Elder Wu, Zhang Huaichun he What I did last year, as a steward, embezzled the money in the account; relied on my own skills, oppressed the people, and even robbed the women of the people, causing the girl to jump into the river to die, am I slandering him?"

Elder Wu faltered for a while with a sullen face, and could only reply coldly: "No!"

"That's terrible!" Xu Hui laughed loudly: "Although my Fengxue Building is not an orthodox sect, under Master's teaching, there has never been room for such villains in the building! But since Senior Brother Chen insists on keeping him, then I, Xu Hui Nothing to say."

Elder Wu did not give up and asked: "Then you fought against Zhang Huaichun just now? What's your reasoning?"

At the same time, a young man outside the house was helped in by the disciples. There were bloodshot eyes on the corner of his mouth. He looked very embarrassed and cried as soon as he entered the door.

"On behalf of the landlord! Elders! You have to make decisions for the villain! The fourth elder just saw that the villain was going to do something, and the villain didn't know where he was wrong. I beg the acting landlord to judge the villain!"

Xu Hui glanced at him, his eyes seemed to be looking at rubbish, and sneered, "If you didn't break your leg today, it's considered an extra-judicial kindness to your grandfather. You still have the face to criticize?"

That Zhang Huaichun was so frightened that he shivered back, behind him, several more people entered the room, among the three, Xie Rulan only saw one person, it was the person next to Xu Hui, while the other two looked unfamiliar.

Xie Rulan didn't dislike Xu Hui, although he was always troubled by him for no reason, she never cared about it, because Xu Hui was the only person he admired in this Fengxue building.

Fengxuelou has always been in the position of both good and evil in the martial arts, but Xu Hui is an indomitable chivalrous man.

He has a chivalrous heart, he acts chivalrously and is upright, which is unmatched by many people. Even if he is not too smart, he also disdains those intrigues.

Elder Wu said: "Xu Hui, don't you forget that today is the anniversary of your elder brother's death, yet you are making trouble here, what exactly is your intention?"

Xu Hui remained silent, he was not good at sophistry, but the young man in black behind him took a step forward.

The young man said: "Elders, Elder Xu has always respected the landlord Jiang, so why would he deliberately make trouble at this time? To tell you the truth, it was because the supervisor deliberately blocked Elder Xu from the door just now, because he was arrested by Elder Xu half a year ago. After he broke his leg, he has held grudges to this day, Elder Xu was blocked by him from outside the house, unable to come in to offer incense to Lord Jiang, that's why he got angry and fought with him."

"You bullshit!"

That Zhang Huaichun looked like a playboy, his leg was broken half a year ago, and now he is still not smart, so he insisted on holding on to Xu Hui, and said anxiously: "On behalf of the landlord, the villain dare not stop the fourth elder, just I persuaded Elder Xu to take off his weapon before entering the building, but instead of listening, he even beat the villain, the villain was wronged!"

Xu Hui didn't have the patience to listen to him continue, and said irritably, "Ji Feng, stop talking, since this villain is so reckless, I'll slap him to death!"

"Stop it!"

Chen Qianfan suddenly reprimanded, attracting the attention of Xu Hui and everyone else, and said with a cold face, "Junior Brother Xu, do you still remember what day it is today? You made trouble in front of the spirit tablets of senior brother and master, How are they at peace?"

Although Xu Hui was still dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more.Seeing this, Xie Rulan possessed herself and whispered in Jiang Huan's ear for a while.

The room was quiet, because Chen Qianfan seldom got angry, but suddenly there was a soft and childish voice.

"Little Master Uncle..."

Listening to that timid soft voice, Xu Hui quickly found the child behind Xie Rulan.

Seeing him hiding behind Xie Rulan as if he was about to cry from fright, Xu Hui rubbed his nose and stepped forward, pulled him out with a smile, and said with a smile, "Isn't this Xiaohuan'er? I haven't seen you for a few months." Do you remember my little uncle?"

It was well known that Xu Hui didn't listen to Chen Qianfan's words, but he didn't take Chen Qianfan seriously, Chen Qianfan was so angry that Chen Qianfan clenched his molars.

Jiang Huan saw that Xu Hui finally stopped being aggressive and turned into a little uncle who doted on him and loved him again, so he grabbed Xu Hui's collar with ease, and the innocent child's voice rang into the ears of everyone in the room.

"Stop fighting, little uncle, okay? Don't be angry, Mr. Chen either...Huan'er misses daddy..."

As he spoke, he actually sobbed aloud, thinking of his father whom he hadn't seen for more than a year.

Thinking of brother Xie just now telling him that Daddy would never come back, he would never see Daddy again, and now he couldn't hold back anymore, broke down and burst into tears.

But Xu Hui, a man of five years and three men, was so anxious that he hurriedly wiped Jiang Huan's tears, and coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, okay! Stop beating, stop beating, Xiaohuan, please don't cry! How can this child cry? crying!"

But once the teardrops fell, they couldn't stop anymore, and the children's wailing sounded in the room, could it be seen that the elders around had no face to continue fighting.

Xie Rulan was also taken aback, and then hugged Jiang back from Xu Hui's arms, "Let me do it."

Xu Hui had no choice but to hand the person to Xie Rulan, and Jiang Huan was just sad for a while. When he looked up and saw his good-looking brother Xie, his face was ashamed, and he buried his tear-wet face on Xie Rulan's shoulder, crying The voice gradually became smaller, and soon I stopped crying.

Xu Hui said embarrassingly, "Your Honor has a way to control Xiaohuan'er."

Xie Rulan gave him a cold look, then looked at everyone, and then said: "Okay, that's all for today, Master Chen is right, let Master Jiang be quiet! Everyone is gone, Master Xu, you Let’s go and offer incense sticks to Master Jiang too.”

In the end, it was up to Xie Rulan, a nameless venerable, to speak out to solve the problem, and Chen Qianfan also knew that today's trouble was enough, so he left with peace of mind.

Jiang Huan cried and cried and went to sleep. At this time, besides Xie Rulan in Zhulou, it was Xu Hui, and there were a few people brought back by Xu Hui.

Seeing Xu Hui offering incense to Jiang Yun quietly, Xie Rulan said, "I'll take Huan'er back to her room, and I'll be leaving first."

Xu Hui nodded to him. Speaking of which, Xu Hui's attitude towards him was the most normal. He treated Xie Rulan as the son of a young senior sister and treated him as one of his own.

Xie Rulan hugged Jiang Huan and walked towards the door, but she always felt that someone was watching her. When she looked up, she happened to catch the hot gaze of the young man in black named Ji Feng hurriedly moving away.

Xie Rulan didn't know this person, but it was unnatural for anyone to be looked at like this. Xie Rulan frowned, and quickly left Zhulou with the child in her arms.

After he left, the young man in brocade clothes standing next to Ji Feng leaned close to Ji Feng's ear, and asked with a grotesque low smile, "Why are you so engrossed in watching just now, ah?"

As if gritting his teeth, Ji Feng lowered his eyes and hurriedly said: "This subordinate dare not."

The man snorted softly.

After Xie Rulan sent Jiang Huan back, she returned to her residence, thinking about what Chen Qianfan did today.

He originally thought that Chen Qianfan was going to raise the matter of succeeding the landlord today, but Chen Qianfan didn't say anything, but he sent Zhang Huaichun to make a fuss again.

Could it be that he really just wanted to embarrass Xu Hui, Xie Rulan couldn't figure out what Master Chen meant.

The day passed quickly, and when night fell, Xie Rulan was tormented by the pain in his abdomen again, so he could only bear it.

Ever since he knew that the antidote given to him by Chen Qianfan would only speed up the onset of the poison, he hadn't taken it again, but he also had to endure the pain of frequent episodes of the poison, and Xiao Xingyu had seen the last episode.

As long as Xiao Xingyu left, Xie Rulan would feel much more relieved, but tonight the heartbroken heartbroken in his body broke out again, and there was no one around him to help him, and he bit it like a vent, and shared the pain with him.

Enduring this long and intense pain alone in the room, Xie Rulan almost passed out from the pain as usual every time.

Suddenly the door was gently opened, and Xie Rulan quickly realized that someone was coming, and immediately held her breath, reluctantly pretending to be in a coma.

Someone slowly approached his room, lifted the bead curtain lightly, walked around the screen step by step, and walked towards his bed...

Xie Rulan lay sideways on the bed, clutching the brocade quilt tightly with her fingertips, the footsteps suddenly slowed down, as if tiptoeing to his bedside.

Xie Rulan wanted to do something, but now he can only be slaughtered.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching the bed, covering the large area of ​​candlelight, the inside of the bed was covered with shadows, Xie Rulan became nervous, and stretched out his hand to touch under the pillow. He remembered that he had put a dagger there, and the man's hand also moved slowly towards the bed. When he reached over, Xie Rulan's fingertips had touched under the pillow and touched the cold dagger handle.

Suddenly, Xie Rulan didn't move, because the man sighed, sat down behind him, touched his forehead with his warm palm, and his touch was full of sweat.

Xie Rulan didn't dare to move anymore, he seemed to recognize who this person was, the pain in his abdomen intensified at this moment, Xie Rulan couldn't help letting out a low moan, and then panted in uncontrollable pain.

Xie Rulan's mind gradually became dizzy, and she felt warmth behind her back, as if being hugged in someone's arms. The familiar voice was like in a dream, asking softly in his ear: "Has it started to attack again?"

Xie Rulan couldn't answer, he even retracted the fingertips that touched the dagger, and covered his abdomen, as if being stirred by some sharp weapon, his intestines seemed to be being cut bit by bit by a knife, the pain was so painful .

The hand that touched his forehead slid down his hand, gently rubbing his abdomen.

I don't know if it was influenced by his heart, but Xie Rulan felt that the pain was not so great. He stretched out his trembling hands and grabbed that hand, and murmured in his mouth.

"Xiao Xingyu...is that you?"

The hand that rubbed and pressed the abdomen paused, and was quickly diverted by Xie Rulan's behavior of biting his lower lip. He broke away from Xie Rulan's hand, and seemed to pull away from him. Xie Rulan noticed this, and hurriedly followed him around He got up, hugged the man's waist tightly, and called Xiao Xingyu's name in a low voice.

The man seemed to be startled, he paused for a while, then took something out of his pocket, licked it with his fingertips, and delivered it to Xie Rulan's mouth, his voice was so soft that water would drip out.

"Hey, open your mouth."

Xie Rulan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she almost couldn't open her eyes. She opened her mouth obediently in a trance, and a round pill was stuffed in the next moment. The bitter pill quickly melted away in his mouth, but it was the same as what he used to eat. The past pills are completely different.

The pill was covered with a thick sugar coating, bitter and sweet, refreshing and moistening into the throat.

He actually recovered a bit of sanity, and after swallowing the pill in his mouth, he still wrapped around the hand that fed him the medicine. The man thought he was going to be bitten, and his movements froze as if he wanted to withdraw his hand.

But in the end he didn't smoke, and sent his hand over.

Xie Rulan's mind became more and more dizzy, she opened her eyes in a daze, but only saw the apricot corner of the man's brocade clothes, the pain in her abdomen was slowly fading, her breathing eased for a while, and finally she closed her eyes.

In a trance, Xie Rulan held that hand and rubbed it on her cheek, but after a long time, she fell asleep with peace of mind.
