Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 42 Silver Road

Yongtai 18th year, August [-]th.

Luoyang City ushered in the four-yearly grand meeting of the Central Plains martial arts-"Youth Heroes Meeting" as scheduled.

Under the arrangement of the Gate of Justice, the hero meeting this time was unprecedentedly grand; as early as the beginning of August, they had already started warming up for the meeting, and today, the city is already full of people, and it is very lively.

For the common people in the city, this conference is like a festival. It can not only stimulate the economic growth in the city, but also allow them to watch a lot of excitement. In the future, it can also be used as capital for them to brag about foreigners. No harm.

On the other hand, the government has a bit of a headache for such activities; because there are too many people in the city, there will inevitably be friction. As the party maintaining law and order, they are still under pressure.

Fortunately... In order to relieve their pressure, Shen Youran gave a lot of benefits, so they "bear it".

That morning, just after the hour, the elders sent by the various sects to attend the conference, as well as the "young heroes" who were invited to attend the conference, all came to the main helm of the Justice Gate one after another.

People who practice martial arts, most of them get up early, and it’s dawn at this hour, which is just right.

of course there are exceptions……

For example, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, since they live in Zhengyimen, they don't need to get up early in the morning to wash and change clothes, get invitations, and pay a visit to the house... just wait for work at leisure.

In addition, in recent days, Sun Huang and Sun Huang have developed the habit of sleeping until it is time because they are too leisurely, so when other people come to Zhengyimen to attend the meeting, the two of them are still in the room. Big sleep.

At the third quarter of the hour, the reception hall of the Gate of Justice was already full of heroes from all walks of life.

And the person sitting upright on the main seat deep in the lobby is the current sect master of Zhengyi Sect, and also the youngest sect master in the history of their sect—Shen Youran.

At this moment, even a calm person like Master Shen can't help but feel happy and happy.

On the surface, he is proud of the prestige and respect he has gained at this moment; secretly, he is even more happy that his "big plan is about to come true".

"Master, all the invitations have been received, and everyone is here." At this time, a disciple came to Shen Youran's side and whispered something.

Shen Youran listened, and immediately continued: "Okay, get ready for tea."

"Yes." The disciple got the order and quickly retreated.

Not long after, more than a dozen disciples of Justice Gate came to the corridor outside the lobby door with trays full of teacups and waited.

At this time, Shen Youran also stood up from his seat in good time and cleared his throat.

He hasn't spoken yet, but the act of standing up has already attracted the attention of almost everyone in the lobby.

"Everyone..." The moment Shen Youran opened his mouth, the venue was solemn and quiet, no one made any more noise, and everyone quietly listened to the speech of Master Shen, "Everyone...comrades from the rivers and lakes, senior teachers, I am honored to be here today. I didn't welcome you very well, but I still look at Haihan."

Be polite if you should be polite, Shen Youran is quite eloquent in this scene.

"Master Shen is too modest." "I have met Master Shen."...

And the guests in the lobby also stood up and saluted one after another. Although they spoke different words and sounded messy, they all meant the same thing, and they were polite words.

Of course... Is there anyone who is polite to him?

For example, the second and third chairs of the Cao Gang sitting below: Feng Shunfeng and Feng Shunshui, just sat there without moving, not even looking at Shen Youran—anyway, everyone in the Jianghu knew that they were with the Cao Gang. The Gate of Justice turned evil, and they didn't mind being seen.

However, no matter how bad the relationship between the two gangs is, the Cao Gang is one of the four sects and three gangs. On an occasion like today, they still have to send two important figures to attend; not to mention... this year The nephew of the leader of the Cao Gang, Di Bujuan, was also invited to the meeting, even if it was just to protect his shortcomings, he had to send someone.

A moment later, after everyone had finished talking in confusion, Shen Youran said again: "Shen is not talented, this time he was recommended by many heads and seniors, and led the Justice Sect to take over the preparations for this year's Young Heroes Club; Great blessings to all of you, the preparations for the conference are now complete, and the opening is about to begin...Here, let Chen replace wine with tea, and offer a toast to everyone.

While he was speaking, his disciples of Justice Sect came in with tea and poured the tea into the hands of the guests.

Alcohol is something that some people don't like to drink, or can't drink; but tea, anyone can drink, there is only one reason for not drinking it, that is, to lose face.

And at this juncture, those who are blatantly not giving Shen Youran face are those two from the Cao Gang...

Everyone brought up the tea in the direction of Master Shen, only Feng Shunfeng and Feng Shunshui were still sitting, not reaching for the cups on the coffee table at all.

"Feng's second master, third master...why are you doing this?" Shen Youran naturally saw the actions of those two, so he paused the movement of offering tea, and asked them.

When he asked this question, everyone in the hall looked at Er Feng in unison; there were also some whispers in the crowd, no doubt gossip about the Cao Gang and Zhengyimen.

Those two were watched by so many people, but they didn't seem flustered.

After a brief silence, I saw that Feng Shunfeng stood up unhurriedly, clasped his fists at the people around him, then looked at Shen Youran, and replied: "Master Shen, Feng has something unclear, I want to take advantage of the moment All of you are here, please teach me.”

Hearing this, Shen Youran's face sank like water, and she slowly put down the teacup in her hand: "Feng Er is in charge, but it's okay to say."

A sneer appeared on Feng Shunfeng's big rough face. He stretched out his hand and twirled the beard on his chin, and asked eccentrically: "I heard that this meeting, Master Shen was jointly decided by all major factions. In addition to the invitation list, I also invited a few young heroes who were not on the list in my own capacity... Is there such a thing?"

"There is such a thing." Shen Youran replied frankly, "This is one of Shen's powers as the person in charge of the meeting, and everyone here knows it. Does Feng Erdao have any objections to this?"

"Hmph..." Feng Shunfeng snorted coldly, "Then can I ask Master Shen to tell everyone, what is the basis for the few people you invited yourself to be called 'young heroes'?"

After hearing this, Shen Youran also smiled: "Heh... According to Shen's judgment, isn't it enough?"

This is a bit crazy.

But I have to say if this is enough...it should be enough.

In today's martial arts, even if Luoyang Zhengyimen's status is not as high as Shaolin Wudang and other top sects with a long history, it is by no means comparable to those second- and third-rate sects; Among the four sects and three gangs, he is the only one in the limelight.

It is more than enough for a young man who is recognized by a first-class sect master like Master Shen to be called a "young hero".

But Feng Shunfeng didn't care about these things, he just wanted to find fault, so it would be unreasonable to stir up three points...

"Ha! Good! Good judgment." Feng Shunfeng smirked, and then cast his eyes on a young monk in the lobby, "This little master Chunkong...although he has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, he is Master Jichen's apprentice from Shaolin Temple, if you invite me, that's all..." He paused, then looked at a young man in a light-colored gown, "This descendant of 'Cangshan Flying Crane', Mr. Liu Yikong Xia, you went to invite... I don't think everyone will have any opinions." He paused again, and then his expression changed, "But... I heard that you also invited a man named Sun Yixie , is the young master of a merchant family in Hangzhou, what's going on?" His eccentric tone came again, "Could it be...is the quota for the Young Heroes Club available for sale?"

Feng Shunfeng's words were poisonous, he obviously didn't have any evidence, but because of Sun Yixie's family background, he hinted inside and outside the words that Shen Youran invited Sun Yixie to the Young Heroes Club because of the benefits of the Sun family.

Of course, the book implied that Shen Youran did have a conspiracy and was concerned about the Sun family's affairs, but he definitely wouldn't do it for money.

However, people's words are scary... Besides, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai have been regarded as Shen Youran's "relationship households" by the outside world these days, so when Feng Shunfeng said this, many people in the lobby were jealous or suspicious The two of them also started talking.

"Feng Er is in charge, what you just said..." Shen Youran just wanted to refute the other party.

Unexpectedly, at this time...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

All I could hear was a burst of loud laughter coming from outside the door.

The laugher, his voice was like spring thunder, startled everyone, within a few steps, his figure was swept into the hall like a gust of wind, and stood in front of the Feng brothers.

Everyone in the hall took a closer look and saw that this man was about forty, dressed as a Taoist priest, with a long sword on his back, and a dust whisk in his hand.

Many people who had seen him recognized him immediately, and couldn't help exclaiming his name softly—"Silver Way" Bai Ruhong.

"What a young master of a merchant's family." Bai Ruhong looked at Feng Shunfeng with a contemptuous gaze as soon as he stood still, "Poverty travels from the south of the Yangtze River to this point, and I only know of one Sun Yixie from Hangzhou, and a Huang Donglai from the middle of Shu... These two people, Zoumazhai exterminate bandits, Yangtze River estuary frightens river bandits, Luzhou mansion solves strange case, Dragon King Cave kills six robbers... Cannibal shop picks red tipped chopsticks , Zhixian Pavilion defeated Xiao Dezu..." He finished the series in one breath, turned his head and scanned the lobby, "I would like to ask you, among the 'young heroes' here, how many are good at it?" In the matter of chivalry, do you think you are better than these two 'young masters'?"

Those male, female, and young heroes present were all seventeen or eighteen years old, and most of them were shameless.

After being told by Bai Ruhong, many people who had been dismissing Sun and Huang in a low voice just now lowered their heads in shame, or at least turned their eyes away and kept silent.

"Senior White..." After Feng Shunfeng heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, "These things... were they really done? Could it be where you got it wrong?"

His attitude towards Bai Ruhong is still very good, because everyone in the world knows that the four "gold beggars, silver men, copper scholars, and iron monks" are all unaffiliated, free-spirited, jealous, moody; to put it bluntly... ...It is that martial arts are extremely high, and no one can control them. As long as he thinks it is reasonable, if he disagrees with you, he will fight with you, and his martial arts may be abolished.

Therefore, even if someone surnamed Feng dared to offend Shen Youran, he would not dare to make trouble in front of Bai Ruhong.

"Nonsense!" Bai Ruhong was not so polite to Feng Shunfeng, "Then you said just now that Master Shen received benefits from the Sun family, and where did you hear it? Or did you mean to spit on others?"

"No, no, no... I don't mean that..." Feng Shunfeng was scared at that time.

Now that things have happened, no one will question Sun Yixie's qualifications to participate in the conference or Shen Youran's shady affairs.

Shen Youran, who was watching coldly from a distance, also felt that the matter was almost over here, and Feng had to be given a step down, otherwise a fight would really happen, and his important event would be missed instead.

"Senior Bai, don't get angry." After a breath, Shen Youran stepped forward quickly, came to the side of Bai Ruhong and the Feng brothers, cupped his hands and saluted, "I think...the second master Feng has no other intentions, just worried about the hero The number of people in the meeting was not handled properly, so I have this question. My two virtuous younger brothers, Yixie and Donglai, are indeed newcomers, so it is understandable that Feng Erdang's family does not know their deeds."

"Hmph." Hearing this, Bai Ruhong bowed to Shen Youran, then squinted at Feng Shunfeng and said, "It's still Master Shen who understands things and understands the general situation... Forget it, that poor Taoist also looks at you, Say a few words less."

"This junior thanked Senior Bai." Shen Youran laughed immediately, and gestured to his subordinates, asking them to serve Bai Ruhong tea.

After a while, Shen Youran returned to the chief seat, and finally, he drank the cup of tea that was toasted to everyone.

This time, even those people from the Cao Gang are embarrassed to lose face...

And this "one sip of tea", Shen Youran's big plan, has already set "[-]%", what about the remaining "[-]%"... Let's listen to the breakdown later.
