Luofan hosted a banquet for his seniors in the martial arts world, crammed into the Buddha's feet before the competition, and learned all kinds of unique skills. At that time, everyone in the Niutoushan martial arts world was aware of it. Everyone laughed and talked about it, waiting to see his performance in three days.
On that side, Luo Fan retreated and there was no more trouble. And the people in the world of Niutoushan are not idle either. Luofan is the host, delivering hundreds of carts of good wine and food every meal, supplying people in the world with endless food and drink. They were all in the mountains, lighting bonfires, gathering around to eat wine, and talk and laugh happily. There is no small matter in the world, but eating and drinking is even more important. No matter how big or small, after drinking enough wine and blushing, they started to talk randomly. Those who had a grudge got married, and those who were close might also have a grudge. They just waited for the next day to wake up, and everyone regretted it. Regret, I picked up the wine jar, drank a few mouthfuls of wine, and could no longer remember the past.
As for the leaders of the Black and White Alliance, they gathered in the most luxurious restaurant at the foot of Niutou Mountain, and they were not idle. They came to the Tianxia Meeting this time. On the surface, it was a tripartite meeting, but in fact, they were all secretly led by Sima Yue and wanted to do a major event that would overturn the world. When this important matter is accomplished, Sima Yue will become the unparalleled master of the Tiandu Dynasty, and the Black and White Alliance will also gain unprecedented benefits.
With this level of strategic planning, during the Tianxia Meeting, they were relatively tolerant of Luofan and did not have any open conflicts. Originally, today was the opportunity to do something. I never thought that Sima Yue's Tongming Gu would attack, so it was delayed for a few days. Now that Luofan was going to have a life-or-death duel with Kuang Shiyuan, Sima Yue set the date for the important event to be the night after the duel.
The scheme set up by Sima Yue was both secretive and vicious, and even Luo Fan and Dark Master were not aware of his plan at all. In the restaurant, the heads of the Black and White Alliance secretly completed the terrain survey of Dragon City, received their respective tasks, and then left the room in silence.
After leaving the restaurant conference hall, the leaders of the Southeast Alliance, He Xiangzhao and Liu Lanchen, walked out together with joy. Dao Yun, the old Taoist, shouted from behind: "Hey, two alliance leaders, seeing the joy on your faces, could there be something good going on?"
He Xiangzhao turned around and said with a smile: "Hey, that's a good thing. There is a big customer in Longcheng who wants to make a big deal and needs our Southeast Alliance's care. We are not planning to negotiate a deal right now."
"Oh, it seems that this is a big deal. However, be careful, now is the critical moment, and you must not let the news leak out. You must also pay attention to safety, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Dragon City." Old Dao Yun said.
"I know, I have been in the world for a long time, so I still have to be vigilant. What's more, it is during the Tianxia Meeting. Anyone who takes action will be hunted down by the three parties. No one is so stupid as to dare to do anything wrong at this time." He Xiangzhao smiled.
"Well, that makes sense. Congratulations to both of you for getting rich." Old Dao Yun said with a smile.
But he said that the eighteen major gangs of the Southeast Alliance would gather together this time. And they also received a letter from a mysterious employer this afternoon. The letter said that they wanted to do business in the southeast and needed the care of the Southeast Alliance. The letter included tens of thousands of silver each as a deposit and invited them to the King of Heaven, thirty miles west of Niutoushan. Town, meet at Tianwangzhuang.
Jianghu people are most concerned about the situation, and they know how to climb high and low, and go with the flow. The first move was a deposit of tens of thousands taels of silver, so it must be from a wealthy family, so naturally they would be interested in making friends. If the sale is concluded, there will naturally be abundant wealth in the future. So, the five leaders of the Southeast Alliance and other alliance gangs, a total of twenty-two leaders, each with more than a dozen confidants, went to Tianwang Village to suppress Tianwang Village.
In Tianwang Town, there was originally a Tianwang Temple. It was spacious and majestic and was considered a local sight. I don’t know what year or month this Tianwang Town came into existence. Seven years ago, there was a wealthy family in Tianwang Town with a fortune of one million, so he built a villa here and named it Tianwang Village. It is said that when Zhuangzi was built and the plaque was unveiled, a fortune teller came and told the family that the king was a god and mortals did not dare to steal his name. Such a name was disrespectful to gods and humanity. If he really named it Tianwangzhuang, there would be disaster in his family within three months. The owner of the village didn't believe it and thought it was a fortune-telling method, so he drove him away. As a result, three months later, a group of bandits came and slaughtered all the more than 300 members of that family and robbed them of all their money. At this point, the luxurious manor has become a deserted residence. Now, a mysterious man suddenly comes and spends a huge sum of money to renovate the manor, making it prosperous again.
The leaders of the Southeast Alliance got the letters respectively, took generous deposits, and rushed to Tianwangzhuang on horseback.
In front of the villa, the five alliance leaders dismounted. The alliance leader He Xiangzhao stood in front with a golden sword on his back. He Changxu asked, "Tianwang Village. It seems that I have been here before, but it was an abandoned house at that time. Why has it been changed now?" Master? I wonder which God of Wealth can invite all of us from the Southeast Alliance, it seems like it’s not a big deal.”
On the side, Liu Lanchen carried a spear on his back and said with a smile: "Hey, you'll find out when you go in. Anyway, as long as you give the money, you are the master. These days, the big ones are suppressing the small ones, and Gu Yun's struggle for Lingxiu Villa is almost draining the territory of our Southeast Alliance. . It is a blessing to have such a big customer this time. With this money, the brothers can also have a good New Year."
Just as he was talking, an old man walked through the door. He was dressed in rich clothes and had a solemn face. He was followed by four maids and two servants. At first glance, he was the steward of a wealthy family.
The old man stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "Hey, heroes are here. The old man Xu Hanbo is the housekeeper. On the order of the master of the family, he came here to greet you. Heroes, please, please, have tea in the garden. The master of the house will receive you in person soon."
"Well, thank you very much. Butler, I don't know who is in the house. Why did you invite us here?" He Xiangzhao walked in first and chatted with the housekeeper to find out the details of the master's family.
"Back to the heroes, our family's ancestral home is Huanglong Mountain in the southeast. He has been doing business for generations and has a lot of family property. In his early years, he left home to do business and owned assets in thirty-six cities in the world. Now he has not returned home for more than ten years. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and the money is There is no shortage, but the feeling of homesickness is getting stronger. So the head of the family has the idea of returning to his roots and thinking of transferring the property back to his ancestral home in the southeast. The southeast region is dominated by the Southeast Alliance, so the head of the family sincerely invites you to come and discuss important matters together. In the future I must trouble all the heroes to help." The butler said slowly and unhurriedly.
"I see. If my family is so generous, I guess my ancestor must also be famous."
The housekeeper and servants led the way diligently, and the gang leaders headed towards the inner courtyard of the mansion. Along the way, I saw rows of maids busy, housekeepers cleaning up, red lights hung on red beams, green vines wrapped around jade mountains, fish jumping in the pond, cats meowing in the garden, a scene of wealth and liveliness.
After bypassing the vestibule and walking to the atrium, the old housekeeper stopped and cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, heads, there is the inner courtyard in front of you. The master of the house has something to say. It is important for others to wait in the outer courtyard. Why don't you let the guards drink tea in the outer hall and get down to business later?" After we talk, we’ll have a banquet to entertain you.”
He Xiangzhao and the others looked back and saw that all twenty-two heads of the eighteen factions of the Southeast Alliance were there. Even if there was some kind of danger inside, they thought they were outnumbered and they would not be helpless to fight back. They immediately waved their hands. Let a group of guards wait in the atrium.
All the heads of the family, each armed with weapons, walked towards the inner court talking and laughing.
The door of the main hall is open. There is a long table three feet wide and two rows of large red sandalwood chairs on the left and right. There are fresh green radish and sweet-scented osmanthus in each of the left and right corners. There are exquisite tea sets and various snacks on the table. If it is a place where guests are welcome, everyone behaves in style.
All the heads entered the hall and took their seats according to seniority. The housekeeper called the maids on the left and right, added incense, poured tea, and asked the guests to use it first. All the heads said a few polite words to each other, and some picked up the tea and started drinking it. After all, it was getting dark and it was dinner time. They were hungry and thirsty, and they had long wanted to eat something to satisfy their thirst. Naturally, there are also those who are wary, or care about face, and sit with an air of dignity waiting for the master to come, not daring to eat or drink first.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, the master still didn't show up. Some people could no longer bear their temper and urged the housekeeper to get up. After all, they are the heads of major gangs. With so many people coming, it is unreasonable for the main family to show off and delay. The housekeeper excused himself and went to invite him in person.
After the housekeeper left, he saw two people from the master's family arriving in the distance. However, the people coming here made them a little confused. Because they were thinking that with such a generous offer, the owner of the family must be a sophisticated middle-aged and elderly businessman. Unexpectedly, the person who came before me was a girl, no more than twenty years old, with a delicate and frail appearance. What was even more surprising was that the girl was wearing plain mourning clothes and her face was cold and sad, as if a relative had died. Next to the girl, there was only a handsome young man in a thin blue shirt. He was holding a three-foot green sword and looked arrogant, but it was difficult to tell whether he was superior or inferior.
"Hey, the master of this house didn't invite us here, so why did a girl come here? What's going on? Is it possible that we have to choose a son-in-law tonight?" There was a loser in the crowd. When he saw the girl, he started joking. , and the others also laughed.
Not long after, the girl and the young man walked into the hall, and everyone discovered that the girl was holding a spiritual tablet in her arms. If you look carefully, you can't see clearly what's written on it.
"Girl, where is your master? He invited us here, why didn't he show up? Could it be that he was deliberately neglecting the distinguished guests?" He Xiangzhao felt something was wrong in his heart, and stood up and asked in a rude manner.
"Everyone, please be at peace. The master has arrived, and I will let you know clearly." The girl said, walked to the head of the long table, and then raised the token in her arms high.
Everyone looked at it carefully and saw under the light that the red background and white letters on the wooden sign read: The Heroic Spirit of the Loving Father Baili Qiu.
"Ah! Baili Qiu!" After reading the name of the spiritual tablet, everyone in the hall was immediately frightened!
"Bai Li Qiu has been dead for more than ten years, so why did his spirit tablet appear here! Could it be that she is Bai Li Lingling? She is the Poison Saint Qian Ling'er who has been rumored recently! Could this game be a trap?" Everyone hurriedly said. He stood up and hid in two piles, watching carefully.
The leader of the alliance, Liu Lanchen, had sinister eyes and frost on his temples. He pulled out the golden hooks from his waist, pointed at Leng Ling and shouted: "Baili Lingling! You are so brave, you dare to lure all the leaders of our Southeast Alliance here. . Fifteen years ago, the battle in the Poison King Valley made you a fish that slipped through the net, and today you come to die! Brothers, chop her into pieces, so that we don’t have to worry about anything in the future!"
Hearing Liu Lanchen's words like this, everyone's fear disappeared, and they became daring. They each pulled out their weapons, like a pack of wolves devouring a sheep.
