After a period of chaos, Wei Jing finally escaped from the dinner table, and then went to the sect leader's room. After entering the room, he found Sima Yu there. Wei Jing thought it was just right, so he explained to the two of them what had happened recently.
First of all, talking about the Shangguan family, Sect Master Sima said: "So the second son of the Shangguan family also thinks that the person who conspired with Yangxinlou may be a figure in Tianji Pavilion?"
Wei Jing said: "Exactly, if Tianji Pavilion is indeed an accomplice, maybe they have already done this in many sects."
Sima Yu said: "That's true. Your third brother was in the Qingcheng sect not long ago and saw the disagreement among them. Now the overall situation has been decided. Qingcheng will still send people to participate in "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors" this year. According to reports, From what I heard, the candidate this time is Wu Zhenzi, the first generation figure in Qingcheng."
Wei Jing nodded and said: "Exactly. When I went to Nanjing City this time, I happened to meet Shen Yushan, the deputy master of Tianji Pavilion. At that time, I asked about this year's candidates, and Wu Zhenzi was among them."
Sima Yu said: "That's it. Lao San also said that this internal fight in Qingcheng involves not only the people in Tianji Pavilion, but also traces of King Shu Zhao's faction."
Wei Jing frowned when he heard this and said, "Even the princes of the imperial court are involved in this matter? Is this the act of King Shu Zhao on his own initiative, or is it done under the instruction of the imperial court?"
Sima Yu shook his head and said: "This is still unknown. King Shu Zhao has always been ambitious and powerful. This is not the first time that he has intervened in Jianghu. Lao San and Lao Wu are conducting overt and covert investigations in various places. This year, there are more and more The sect organizations have different opinions on the matter of "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors", and it seems that some of them are hindered by Tianji Pavilion. If there are people from the imperial court among them, this matter will become more complicated."
Sect Leader Sima said: "It seems now that Tianji Pavilion compiled "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors" not only to hold gatherings every year, but also to organize plans and work secretly among various factions. To implement such a plan, the financial resources and manpower required are not negligible. Look, if we can get help from the vassal king, or even Tianji Pavilion is secretly supported by the imperial court, then the compilation of the book must have more rewards, and a more profound intention, otherwise it would be unreasonable to spend so much time and effort."
Wei Jing nodded and said, "Aside from Yangxin Pavilion, I wonder if Tianji Pavilion cooperates with other forces?"
Sima Yu said: "I haven't heard of it yet, but even if there is, it wouldn't be surprising now."
Sect Leader Sima said: "Currently, the clues are not clear. Let's go to this year's gathering and let Li'er go and explore the truth. Li'er, if you have the chance, you must communicate more with the people in Tianji Pavilion and explore them. A person's tone of voice, regardless of his or her position, may be able to detect clues, so remember not to alert others."
Wei Jing said: "Okay, I'll just wait and see when I get to Nanjing."
Sima Yu saw that there was no follow-up to the matter of "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors", and then asked with a smile: "Second brother, you have to tell us about Miss Yuqin next, right?"
Wei Jing's cheeks heated up and he said with a smile: "I know the eldest brother wants to ask this, let me wait and see what I have to say."
Then he told how he heard the sound of the piano in the inn, how he followed Zhao Yachen, how he heard about the owner of Yangxin Building, how he robbed the Yuqin, and later how he came all the way from Suzhou to the chief helmsman of the Sima family, and even met him at Tianmu Mountain on the way. An old-timer who used a sword has benefited a lot.
Sima Yu said: "So that's it. Miss Yuqin's fate has been rough and she will fall into the tiger's den again. No wonder you were filled with righteous indignation and took action to save people. Su heard that the owner of the Yangxin building is deep and elusive, but I don't know why he fell in love with Miss Zhongqin? "
Wei Jing said: "I forgot about this. I'll ask her another day if she has any clues."
Sima Yu laughed and said, "But I heard along the way that the two of you have been getting along for a long time. I really don't believe it if you say there is no love. Do you believe it, Sect Master?"
Sect Master Sima stroked his beard and said, "I don't believe it either."
Sima Yu is usually cheerful and easy-going, but he doesn't often make jokes. This time, it was rare to see Wei Jing bring a girl back and treat her very well along the way. It was really unprecedented, so he couldn't help but joke a few words. .
Wei Jing said helplessly: "Brother, sect leader, please forgive me. If Miss Qin hears this, I will be in trouble."
Sima Yu smiled and said: "Okay, big brother, won't you make trouble?"
Sect Leader Sima said: "Li'er, your swordsmanship has improved quite a bit since your return this time. Is it related to that old senior?"
Wei Jing nodded and said, "I was just about to ask the sect master, have you ever heard of the person named 'Jiang Huaixue'?"
Sect Master Sima was slightly surprised, and then said: "It turns out that the person you met is Jiang Huaixue. When I was young, this man was already a famous swordsman in the martial arts world. The dispute between Fengyun Alliance and Zhengpai fifty years ago was the result of Led by Li Bieqiu and Daxia Li, a group of righteous men joined forces to defeat the enemy, and Jiang Huaixue was also one of the important figures."
Li Bieqiu was a famous and well-known warrior in the martial arts world decades ago. Even now that things have changed, many young people in the martial arts community have still heard of his name and regard him as a model of chivalry.
Wei Jing said: "It turns out that Senior Jiang and Daxia Li are also related. Does the sect master know Senior Jiang?"
Sect Master Sima shook his head and said: "I was just a fledgling at that time, and the Sima family was not as big as it is now, so I didn't have the chance to know Jing. I only heard that Jiang Huaixue's swordsmanship was perfect, and that he and Li Daxia had a deep love for heroes and cherished heroes. "
Wei Jing said: "That's true. Senior Jiang's swordsmanship is so good that I can't even hurt him with all my strength. I can't even imagine how skilled Senior Jiang was in his prime."
Sima Yu said: "It's rare that he values you so much. You should work harder."
Wei Jing smiled bitterly and said, "That's exactly it."
After that, the three of them talked for a while, and Wei Jing went back to his room.
Early the next morning, Wei Jing was getting up from the bed when he heard the sound of a piano coming from the inner courtyard. When he went out, he saw a group of people sitting in the open space in front of the piano room. She took two stools and placed them at the door. , sitting on a stool playing the piano, just like a group of students listening intently to class.
Seeing Ren Qianyun walking out of the room, Wei Jing went over and asked, "What's going on?"
Ren Qianyun said with a smile: "Sister Qin saw that I was awake early this morning, so she played the piano softly in the room. Unexpectedly, someone still heard her, so a few people crowded in front of the window to listen to her playing the piano. Sister Qin couldn't bear to see them crowding around. They formed a group and became what they are now."
Wei Jing couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that just bringing Yuqin back to Sima's family would actually cause such a change in Sima's family.
When the song ended, several grown men cheered loudly, and some clapped their hands and shouted: "Okay!"
Someone shouted: "Extremely brilliant!"
Someone else said: "I like this song the most in my life!"
In fact, most of these people have never heard of piano music, and they can't tell whether it's good or not. As for "the music they like the most", they don't even know where to start.
Ren Qianyun rolled her eyes and thought to herself: "These people really don't know what moral integrity is."
When Yu Qin saw Wei Jing walking towards this place, she said to Wei Jing with a slight embarrassment: "Good morning, Mr. Wei!"
Wei Jing was not sure whether her eyes were asking him for help. At this time, the others saw that Wei Jing was coming, and hurriedly said hello to him, and then left in a hurry.
Yuqin used to be a famous prostitute in Qingyan Tower, and she has long been used to playing in front of people, but all the people just now were not paid guests, they were just a group of forthright and straightforward men, and they even worked harder to cheer for her. Yuqin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. But I also think they are quite cute.
Wei Jing smiled and said, "I saw Miss Qin giving classes early in the morning. Have you found any good disciples?"
Yuqin smiled and said: "This time, Mr. Wei can take the opportunity to ridicule me."
In the past, Wei Jing always failed when joking with her. In fact, Wei Jing could be considered eloquent when he opened his mouth, but firstly, he was always a little reserved in front of Yuqin, and secondly, Yuqin was indeed smart, which made Wei Jing appear Always left and right.
Ren Qianyun also smiled and said: "Sister Qin, please ignore him. Did you sleep well last night?"
Yuqin nodded and smiled: "I feel at ease here, it couldn't be better."
Then he suddenly put the piano aside, stood up and said to Wei Jing: "Master Wei..." Seeing that she seemed hesitant, Wei Jing couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's wrong?"
Yuqin continued: "When will Mr. Wei plan to go to Nanjing again?"
Wei Jing thought to himself: "You have to make sure that Miss Qin is fine here before going, right?"
But it was hard to say this, so he said, "There are still two months until the party. I want to stay at least another half month, right?"
Yuqin said: "Then...Yuqin has a merciless request."
