The New Year in the first lunar month has just ended, and the Lantern Festival is here again. Within half a month, which was neither long nor short, Xunhanshan, under Tu Dou's instruction, began the so-called movement but not movement.
First, a large number of disciples were sent out of the mountain gate to Yue and Hangzhou. The same is true at Yijian Villa. From time to time, there are disciples staying in the Villa who start to show signs of leaving the city.
At the very beginning, those in the world really thought that the battle between Xunhan Mountain and Yijian Villa was still possible.
But as time goes by, the spectators can come back to their senses after seeing many of these unrealistic temptations.
Co-authored Yijian Villa and Xunhan Mountain, neither faction wants to fight? Just like this, you come and I avoid each other, taking the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate.
But how can those who secretly place bets, or sit back and enjoy the success, let the two factions get their wish? The scenery in Yangzhou City in the south of the Yangtze River is naturally better than before.
As long as you cross the city portico bridge, the entire city, whether it is the bustling main street or some slightly more remote alleys, is all decorated with lights!
And these intricate streets and alleys are full of tourists. Even though Yanyang soldiers stationed in Yangzhou provided guidance and disciples from Wenjian Lake assisted, it still seemed crowded.
Especially tonight, I heard that Ming Xi, the sect master of Wenjian Lake, specially asked his disciples to make a large number of bamboo lanterns, and anyone can receive them.
In previous years, even the people in Yangzhou City would have never seen such strange things. The disciples of these high-ranking sects are usually arrogant and domineering in the city, and even the Yanyang government never pays attention to them.
This year, they actually made bamboo lanterns for the common people, saying that they wanted the whole Yangzhou city to celebrate the Lantern Festival together?
There is a restaurant in the city run by Wenjianhu, and its private rooms dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests are famous.
"Heavenly Stem". this time
There are three people in the "Tiangan", two of them are sitting across the table, and one is guarding the door. If a good person passes by, he might be able to recognize two of them.
Isn't this just asking Ming Xi, the leader of the Sword Lake Sect, and Lan Wuqiu, its chief worshipper? The remaining man's eyes were slightly closed, with a bamboo umbrella on his knees, and he didn't pay any attention to the two people in the same room.
Mingxi saw that the person sitting opposite him had not spoken a word since he entered the room, so he also started to waste his energy. For a while, he looked at the noisy scenery outside the window, and for a while, he poured a cup of tea and put it into his mouth.
The Ming Sect Master has always advised himself that even if he has resentment in his heart, he cannot vent it out at this time. Just like a child having a tantrum, the stalemate that ignored everyone seemed to last for a long time... Lan Chongfeng, who was guarding the door, wanted to step forward and ask questions himself several times, but Mingxi signaled to stop him.
When the tea was finished and the scenery outside the window was exhausted, the person opposite finally opened his eyes.
"If Sect Master Ming wants to raise an army to investigate, Ye will naturally give you an answer. Why is there such a need?" Ming Xi listened to his words, put the teacup in his hand by the window, and looked at the person at the opposite table seriously.
"Ming knows that Mr. Ye will only ask for more than Ming. There must be some back-up for these arrangements, so if Mr. Ye wants to help Ming clear up his doubts, he is willing to listen..." Ye Chengzhu answered the question in a different way: " Why is today's meeting arranged in Yangzhou City instead of Wenjian Lake?" Mingxi responded expressionlessly: "It's the Lantern Festival, so naturally I want to get closer to the local people..."
"Sect Master Ming is really good at winning people's hearts!" Ye Chengzhu joked.
"Such a clumsy method is not as good as the evil one..." Mingxi seemed to be unable to suppress the resentment in her heart, and she began to name the evil one.
Ye Chengzhu smiled and didn't care.
"First of all, those two factions shouldn't fight during the first month of the year! It will be very ugly and I can't explain it!"
"Secondly, Sect Leader Ming is a little too hasty. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that we will raise a second Wenjianhu?" In the first sentence, Mingxi's face showed no emotion, but in the second sentence, the corner of his mouth was actually Started to twitch a little.
Ye Chengzhu caught this, and he stood up and looked out the window, while turning his back to Ming Xi and Lan Wuqiu in the room.
He raised the bamboo umbrella in his hand and spoke again: "Everything in Wenjian Lake follows the temple system, even the Heaven and Earth Alliance that is in charge... It is normal for Sect Leader Ming to be worried!" Mingxi said in a deep voice: "Now that Wenjian Lake has become the world's leading martial arts world, Quexie has even gathered a group of sects. Now there are only these two sects left. I asked Jianhu to make arrangements earlier to share the worries of Master Ye's Quexie..." Ye Chengzhu Lifting the bamboo umbrella in her hand, Mingxi cautiously put her hands behind her back, ready to grab the folding fan at her waist.
Lan Wuqiu, who was standing by the door, reacted even more and actually wanted to pull out the sword from his waist. However, seeing that the man holding the umbrella had no intention of taking action, the two of them stopped making any further moves.
Ye Chengzhu sighed and said: "I gave it to Sect Master Ming and that...Lan, but I didn't dare to take action twice when I had the chance. After all, Wenjianhu is still less brave, but it is also a good thing!" The remote northern land of China, and now the entire scorching north, all admire the people of the country for their bravery to open up frontiers and use force instead of conspiracy.
In the south, although various places were controlled by Jianghu sects, the Yanyang Dynasty did not have many opportunities to intervene.
Even so, these Jianghu sects are also part of Yanyang's stabilization of the country. If you want to maintain the stability of the Yanyang Dynasty and at the same time seek benefits for your own sect, bravery will not work.
Only through calculation and conspiracy between each other can we find a way to survive. Mingxi naturally heard what Ye Chengzhu meant, leaned back on the chair again, and winked at Lan Wuqiu.
The orchid priest had no choice but to salute the two of them and then withdrew.
"Heavenly Stem". The only people left in the room were Mr. Ye who had expelled evil spirits and the sect leader of Wenjian Lake. Mingxi said: "Then let's ask Mr. Ye clearly, when can the two factions be moved, or who among the two factions can survive?" Ye Chengzhu looked at the scenery outside the window again, and casually replied: "The next one is the fastest. Yue, um... you still don’t understand why the second child beats the boss?" Mingxi smiled bitterly, it turned out that the answer he wanted was already given by Mr. Ye in front of him.
Or maybe it has been arranged for him to do it... Wenjian Lake is different from other sects in terms of the rules within the sect or the way things are handled in the sect.
They are all similar to those in Yanyang Dynasty. Starting from his Mingxi generation, the whole sect gradually formed a situation where he was the dominant one.
Secretly, there are already some disciples who have surrendered to Mingxi.
It is called "Emperor Ming". In their hearts, Mingxi is the one who occupies Yangzhou.
"Emperor of the Earth". And why Mingxi has her current status is because she has Quexie's support behind her. When the entire Jianghu martial arts world was invaded by the Slaughter Evil Sect, he asked Jianhu if he dared to lead the various factions to build an alliance between heaven and earth.
And he kept the competition with Fengxue Grand View Tower in the open. Finally, after Liu Mei died and the owner of the building changed, Wenjian Lake naturally became the center of the martial arts world.
He obviously didn't have to fight to get the position of leader of the martial arts alliance. Wasn't it because Wenjianhu was the second child who was supported?
And Fengxue Grand View Tower is the boss who is regarded as a stepping stone. Today, what Queye wants to build is the rising Yijian Villa, and what he wants to destroy is Xunhan Mountain.
Thinking of this, Mingxi clasped her fists and said to Ye Chengzhu: "I understand..."
"Then it is not in vain for Ye to come here tonight. Later, the leader of the Ming sect will appear in person in front of the people to show his demeanor as the leader of the next sect? Ye will not continue to bother you!" After Ye Chengzhu finished speaking, he did not care about Ming. Xike had something to say, so he walked towards the door of the house.
Ming Xi knew that he would not answer anymore, so he made no attempt to stop him. He still stopped where he was and saluted Ye Chengzhu's back with clasped fists.
"Best regards, Mr. Ye..." Lan Wuqiu, who was outside the house, saw Ye Chengzhu walking out comfortably, and couldn't help but feel a little wary.
Ye Chengzhu laughed and said, "I'd better learn from your sect leader. Why do you get more angry as you get older? Let's go!" After that, the man holding the umbrella walked past Lan Wuqiu and went downstairs unscrupulously.
Not long after, Mingxi also came from that room
He walked out of "Tiangan", his demeanor restored to what a leader of a sect should look like. He said to Lan Wuqiu: "Let's go to the city to watch the ceremony later!" Lan Wuqiu hurriedly responded: "Yes, Sect Master!" A high platform was erected early in the center of Yangzhou City.
There were more disciples from Wenjian Lake in the audience, and they distributed the bamboo lanterns on the stall in front of them to the people one by one.
At first, some women or children who did not dare to step forward could only watch from a distance, for fear of offending these high-ranking disciples.
But soon, a female disciple from Wenjian Lake came forward, holding several bamboo lanterns in her hand and handed them to them.
Gradually, some children began to ask for bamboo lanterns from these Wenjian Lake disciples, and they got them as soon as they asked.
Only then did the common people in the market let down their guard and began to follow the instructions of the Wenjian Lake disciples and queue up to receive the bamboo lanterns.
As night approaches, the city reaches its busiest time during the Lantern Festival. This year, every household seems to have lanterns for the Lantern Festival. Even if they get them from Wenjian Lake, the workmanship is so meticulous that children can't put them down.
At this moment, even the place where the lantern was held was crowded with many people, all carrying lanterns and laughing.
Suddenly, a team of people from Wenjian Lake walked out of a secluded alley. The discerning ones hurriedly picked up their children, or pulled their relatives and friends to get out of their way.
These disciples from Wenjian Lake seemed to be guarding a carriage heading straight towards the high platform. Before the people in the carriage could get off, shouts came from the crowd.
"Ming Sect Master! Ming Sect Master!! Ming Sect Master!!!" These three words were repeated over and over again, but they let everyone present know who had arrived.
Those who come, ask Ming Xi, the master of Sword Lake Sect. Immediately, someone started shouting along with him, and before long, almost everyone around the high platform started shouting too.
"Ming Sect Master". Finally, the luxuriously dressed Ming Xi walked out of the car and walked to the top of the platform amidst these shouts.
Every step he took was more steady than the previous one. Finally, Mingxi stood on the high platform, taking in all the lights of Yangzhou City, then waved her arms and raised her head to the sky!
This is the grand scene he Mingxi wants... Thousands of people come to ask me about Sword Lake! Thousands of people shouted that I am clear!
Not far from the high platform, there is a slightly off-street entrance. Ye Chengzhu looked at Mingxi standing on the high platform and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After all, I am not afraid that I will become the boss, but I am also afraid that I will not be the boss...
