Yuqin smiled slightly, and then said: "So have you seen all the sachet masters from ancient times to the present?"
Wei Jing smiled and said, "That's not true, but I'm definitely not wrong."
At this time, a person next to him whispered: "The second head of the family is really lucky. Why don't I have such good luck?"
Zuo Siyuan on the side said: "It goes without saying that if you were born a woman, would your sachet be given to the second master or yourself?"
The man whispered: "Then...that's probably the second boss, right?"
Yuqin said softly: "You can do whatever you like. This trip is a long one, so please remember to eat well."
Wei Jing nodded, then turned to say goodbye to everyone, and then rode eastward.
It was a long road from Anqing to Nanjing. It was still more than a month before the party, so Wei Jing was in no hurry and arrived in Nanjing at noon a few days later.
Wei Jing was still staying in the same inn this time, but the room had been changed. After he settled in, he wrote a letter and asked someone to send a letter to Shangguan Feichen, firstly to indicate that he had arrived in Nanjing, and secondly to inquire about Shangguan. Home recent situation.
After sending the letter, Wei Jing lay on the bed and looked at the sachet. He remembered the day when he took Yuqin away in Qingyan Building, as if it was just yesterday. He thought to himself: "Miss Qin sewed the sachet for me, so it must have been nothing." Are you angry with me? But I always feel that something is not quite right."
Then I thought it would be a while before I could see her again, and I felt a little lonely.
During this period, Wei Jing continued to collect information from various factions in Nanjing City. During this period, he also went to greet Shopkeeper Hong and inquired about the situation in Nanjing City. Shopkeeper Hong said that many major factions had entered the city one after another. At that time, Shen Yushan mentioned Most of the dozen or so important figures are already in Nanjing. It was also mentioned that Tianji Pavilion has been setting up banquets during this period to entertain the influential sects who come.
Wei Jing thought: "Shen Yushan will host a banquet for important people from Qingcheng, Huashan, and Diancang sects in five days. It is the banquet with the largest number of guests in recent days. I have to find a way to sneak in."
At this moment, I wrote a letter and asked the inn boy to forward it to Tianji Pavilion Manor. It said that I had arrived in Nanjing a few days ago, and other people from the Sima family would come one after another. Please invite me for this "Wanwu Returns to Hidden" meeting. Tianji Pavilion is very considerate, and the content is mostly some kind words.
Sure enough, a day later, he received a personal reply from Shen Yushan, inviting Wei Jing to attend the banquet of the three sects four days later. Seeing that the other party took the bait, Wei Jing immediately wrote back, saying that he had admired the three sects for a long time and would attend the meeting on time that day. After sending the reply, Wei Jing began to think about what role he should play in this banquet between the three parties.
Four days later, Wei Jing followed the appointment and went to Meiyan Tower, one of the sixteen buildings along with Qingyan Tower. When he walked into the pavilion, he saw Shen Yushan and several martial arts people already starting to greet each other. He saw that the clothes should be those of the Huashan sect and After a few people from the Diancang sect said "I have admired you for a long time" and "I am honored to meet you" and exchanged polite greetings for a while, several people from the Qingcheng sect finally arrived. After another round of introductions, everyone was finally able to sit down.
After Wei Jing sat down, he secretly looked at everyone present. He saw a middle-aged man and woman sent by Huashan, both in their forties. The man's name was "Talking on the Waves Wuhen" Yanjiang City, and the woman's name was "Jade Girl Sleeve". Yuan Xiangjin, both of them are long-established figures in the martial arts world. Among them, Yanjiang City represents Huashan in "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors".
There are three Taoist priests in the Qingcheng sect, the remaining two are younger, and the first one is a tall and thin middle-aged Taoist priest, who is Wu Zhenzi of the Qingcheng sect.
Looking at Guan Cang Sect again, a pair of young men and women came, both about the same age as Wei Jing. Among them, the young man with a long sword and good manners was the second generation disciple "Yunling Feiyan" Xiao Yao. Next to him was Xiao Yao Junior sister Tang Rou, Xiao Yao is already quite famous in the martial arts world even though he is young. "Feiyan" is a compliment to his swordsmanship that is as gentle and nimble as a swallow.
The only person present in Tianji Pavilion was Shen Yushan.
As soon as Shen Yushan sat down, when Shen Yushan was about to pick up his wine glass and toast everyone, Wu Zhenzi had already taken the lead and said, "Brother Yan, is it the intention of your boss to let you come to Nanjing this time?"
It turned out that he and the Huashan sect had been in the martial arts world for many years and had known each other for a long time. Yan Jiangcheng nodded and said: "Exactly, he felt that his martial arts was only at the fourth level last year, which was unsatisfactory. He wanted me to avenge his shame."
Yuan Xiangjin asked: "Why did the Taoist come here this time?"
Wu Zhenzi nodded and said: "Absolutely. Our performance in Qingcheng was not much better last year. Master Dao is also here to regain his position."
Then he turned to Xiao Yao and said, "What about you? Is it possible that 'Yunling Feiyan' still thinks its reputation is not loud enough?"
Xiao Yao smiled and said: "Senior, what did you say? This time, the master hopes that the young people will see more of the world."
Wei Jing saw Tang Rou's ambiguous expression on the side and guessed that the narrow-minded head of Dian Cang must have wanted his favorite disciple to come to Nanjing to make a splash. "Seeing the world" was just a nice way of saying it.
Then Tang Rou said: "Exactly, this time I can meet the famous Huashan Heroes, the highly respected Taoist Priest Qingcheng, and the young and promising leader Wei Er. This trip to Nanjing has been quite fruitful."
Tang Rou praised the others in one sentence, and Wu Zhenzi seemed quite satisfied. The two from the Huashan faction just nodded their thanks, and Wei Jing also gave a few words of humility before dropping the subject.
Then Wu Zhenzi changed his subject again and asked Wei Jing: "Then what kind of wind brought the second head of the Sima family here?"
Wei Jing saw that Wuzhenzi was talking arrogantly, so he asked everyone about it immediately, and he was also the last to arrive, presumably because he was the senior one, so he had no scruples.
Wei Jing thought to himself that it was just right to have a Taoist who spoke without thinking, so that he would not have to think about how to gather information without leaving any trace.
Wei Jing smiled and said: "Brother Xiao and I are the same. Our sect master thinks that I am not knowledgeable enough, so he wants me to come here to see the grand event where the world's heroes gather together. The Taoist Master's "Qingcheng Four Palms" has become famous all over the world, and the juniors are also attracted by it. It’s been a long time.”
Wu Zhenzi smiled and nodded: "Well, the younger generations of the Sima family are quite polite."
At this time, Xiao Yao cupped his fists and saluted Wei Jing and said: "I have heard that the heads of the Sima family are all chivalrous people. Unfortunately, we have always been side by side before. It is my luck to meet Brother Wei this time."
Wei Jing was a little surprised when he saw that Xiao Yao did not salute or praise Wu Zhenzi when he answered him. Instead, Tang Rou helped him make up for it, but now she was very respectful to him.
Wei Jing clasped his fists in return and said, "You're welcome. I'm just the least famous member of the Sima family, but I don't deserve Brother Xiao's praise. I've always heard that the swordsmanship of "Yunling Feiyan" is agile and changeable, and I'm also very good at it." I look forward to having the opportunity to compete with Brother Xiao.”
When Wu Zhenzi saw that Xiao Yao valued Wei Jing very much, he felt uncomfortable. Xiao Yao nodded and said: "I will ask the second master for more advice then."
At this time, famous dishes and drinks were served one after another, and Shen Yushan said that everyone was from the world, so there was no need to worry too much, just talk while eating. Yuan Xiangjin found everyone complimenting each other boring, so he asked Shen Yushan: "Deputy Pavilion Master Shen, which seniors will grade the martial arts this year?"
Shen Yushan said: "This year is still the same as the previous two years. Shaolin Master Mingxiang, Wudang Taoist Master Xuanqing, and the master of our pavilion will jointly evaluate the performance."
Shaolin and Wudang are the top sects in the martial arts world. However, in recent years, the leaders of both sects do not like to get too involved in the world and want their disciples to concentrate on their own practice. Therefore, although the two sects have high status, only a few of their disciples travel around the world. It is also surprising that a famous person is willing to contribute to "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors".
Wuzhenzi said: "Master Mingxiang and Taoist Master Xuanqing are naturally the first-class seniors in the martial arts world, but the master of your pavilion... Hehe..." Qingcheng disciple Lin Chengyi next to him , realizing that Uncle Master was going to be arrogant again, he quickly said: "Uncle Master was joking. To be appointed as the master of Tianji Pavilion, one must have amazing artistic skills. I think this candidate is just right."
Wei Jing laughed secretly from the side: "This person really has no taboos. He dares to say such things in front of others."
Shen Yushan was very calm and seemed not to be moved by what he just said. He still smiled and said: "Young Master Lin is too polite. I, the Pavilion Master, also think that I cannot compare with the two seniors. It's just that I have to contribute some effort to organize this event, so I have no choice but to be shameless and take a seat again."
