Chapter 23 Martial Arts Competition ([-])

"What, what?! Martial arts competition to recruit relatives?" Zhong Lingxi froze on the spot for a moment when he heard his master's answer.After a while, he asked with some astonishment: "No, Lao Yezi, what I just said was not to marry Zhong Rui, what does this have to do with my martial arts competition to recruit relatives?"

The old man squinted his eyes, touched his mustache, and said calmly: "The reason why Zhong Rui can marry you is because he holds the letter from your grandfather, no matter whether the letter is written by your grandfather, as long as the letter from the Zhong family If all the elders in the group recognize this matter, it is basically a certainty."

Seeing that the girl wanted to refute, but he didn't give her a chance, and immediately continued: "Even if you are looking for life, crying and shouting not to marry him, this is not an obstacle or a problem, and the Zhong family will not even consider whether you want to marry him or not." willing."

Although Zhong Lingxi was very reluctant to admit this, she did not deny it because she knew that her master was right.

"However, this matter of marriage is, after all, a matter between two people. Although the wishes of the elders in the family and the family are important, they are not absolute. As long as you compete to recruit relatives and marry yourself, no matter how powerful and thick-skinned the Zhong family is , I won't let one maid serve two husbands." Ou Yezi looked confident, obviously proud that he could come up with such a good idea.

The girl's face was dark, and she said indifferently: "So you just said, I will not marry if I die, meaning I will marry a pig, marry a dog, and not marry him?"

"That's right! I asked you just now, but you said it yourself!" Lao Yezi said with a look of reason.

"Then what if I say I won't marry anyone? If you force me to marry someone, I'll die!" She yelled angrily.

Lao Yezi smiled, and said lightly: "Then have you heard of marriage with Ming (anti-harmony) marriage?"

Zhong Lingxi: "..."

……

An explosive news came from Qingling Peak early the next morning.

Known as one of the "Three Beauties of Qingchuan County", Zhong Lingxi, an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect, officially announced the holding of a martial arts competition to recruit relatives.

In just one morning, all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect were discussing this matter, and in the afternoon, this news even stirred up the entire martial arts arena in Qingchuan County.

You must know that Qingchuan County, as a large county controlled by Jianghu forces, its status in Jianghu is close to the same level as that of the entire Luoyun Kingdom. Except for Luo Yunzong, the state religion of Luoyun Kingdom, most of the other sects are concentrated in Qingchuan County.

Sitting alone in the hall, Ouyang Changfeng naturally knew the whole story. The day before, he told his junior brother that he wanted Zhong Lingxi to find a home as soon as possible. The junior who suggested it was so kind and quick to act!
Just as he was thinking about this, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.

"Brother, do you think this can be done in this way?" Lao Yezi asked excitedly with his mustache raised.To be honest, he didn't expect it to cause such a great impact, and the scope of this influence was obviously not limited to Qingyun faction's one-third of an acre of land.

"Junior brother, you did a great job this time! You are too particular!"

"...Senior Brother Sect Leader, why do I think what you said doesn't sound like you're praising me!"

"Tsk! Thinking too much, you must be thinking too much! Could it be Lingxi's recruiting, which made you think about it all night last night, and this morning you're exhausted? Hurry up, go get busy! It's really good! That's great! , Pay attention!"

Lao Yezi walked out of Qingyun Hall with vacant eyes. Although he felt that the attitude of the head brother this morning was a bit unusual, the more important thing right now is how to choose a real good husband-in-law for his precious apprentice!
……

Zhong Rui was sitting on the top spot of the Qingyun City Branch of Zhong's Commercial Firm, listening to the news reported by the people below, his face was very gloomy, as if dripping water.

"My lord, that's the current news." The guy half-kneeled on the ground, not daring to look up at the head of the Zhong family.

"Contest to recruit relatives? Hehe, interesting! This little hoof will cause me these troubles, hum! Well, I want to see what tricks you can do for me?" Zhong Rui's eyes were full of anger And crazy, Shen Sheng said.

At this moment, a servant came in from the outside again, holding a letter in his hand, he went straight to Zhong Rui, and handed the letter up.

"My lord, this is the order of Zhong's elders!"

Since the patriarch of the Zhong family, Zhong Qianhe, passed away, the power has fallen to the elders of the Zhong family.Although they are all offshoots of the Zhong family, their status in the clan is not low. Moreover, Zhong Lingxi's father left the Zhong family with his wife when she was very young, and went to the Far Eastern Kingdom.At that time, Zhong Lingxi's younger sister, Zhong Nancong, was still a baby. In detail, the two of them grew up with Zhong Qianhe.

Later, Yinren Town was destroyed, and the original six major families also fell apart. Tiexin Village also took the opportunity to rebel against Yinren's control. Many people fled their hometowns and chose to find a living in other places.

Among them, the Zhong family and a group of people who originally belonged to Yinren Town fled to Qingchuan County, especially the group headed by Lin Rufa took root in Qingchuan County.After all, in Qingchuan County, there are Qingyun and Xiaoyuan sects who have the most say in the rivers and lakes to help with all their strength, so it is not difficult to want to rebuild.

However, Lin Rufa was not Lin Hengshan. When it came to blacksmithing, this black-faced man was considered a master-level figure, but when it came to scheming, he was at a loss.

Fortunately, with the help of the salary list organization left by the Zhao family and the mountain patrol team left by the Li family, Yinren survived in Qingchuan County, but if we want to reproduce the glorious past of Yinren Town in Luoye County, Obviously impossible.

In addition, Luo Yunzong did not intend to let this group of "rebellious officials and thieves" go easily. Whether in the court or on the rivers and lakes, Lin Rufa faced no less difficulties than when Lin Hengshan established Yinren Town.

Zhong Rui took the order letter respectfully, and then quickly read the content on it, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.He really did not expect that the influence of this martial arts competition to recruit relatives would be so deep.

The elders of the Zhong family demanded that Zhong Rui try his best to win this contest. If he fails in the end, the Zhong family will definitely be laughed at in the world, and the elders of the clan also uttered cruel words. If Zhong Rui loses in the end If the game is lost, his marriage to Zhong Lingxi will be cancelled.

The Zhong family attaches great importance to a shopkeeper like Zhong Rui, but compared to the face of the Zhong family, these elders chose the most worthless things in his opinion.

He waved his hand and asked the two young men who reported the news to retreat first. The young man needs to calm down first before deciding on his future plan.After about a cup of tea, Zhong Rui called a maidservant and ordered in a low voice, "Give this letter to Xiu'er as soon as possible, and ask her to send four martial arts masters to help. A master of the realm!"

As he spoke, Zhong Rui swiped his pen and finished writing the letter in just a dozen breaths. He dried up the ink stains and handed it directly to the maid.

…………Dividing line…………

Yi Xifeng got off the boat from the port of Xiaoyuanhai, looking at the busy harbor and the men on the dock wearing white undershirts, he randomly asked someone:
"Hey, brother, let me ask you something."

The young man was originally stopped and was a little annoyed, but when he saw the man in front of him, his face was handsome and clean, he was full of heroism, and he was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, which looked very refined.

"Prince Daoist, please tell me."

Yi Xifeng smiled calmly, and then began to chat with the man in front of him, from the relationship between the various forces in Qingchuan County, to the customs of Xiaohe Town, like a scholar who has traveled the world.

"You little Daoist, just listen to me. First, go to the south bank of Xiaoyuan Sea to have a look. There is the world-famous Xiaoyuan Academy, the number one academy in the world." , don't need Yi Xifeng to talk to him, he just said it himself.

"Then, let's go to the north shore of Xiaoyuanhai, which is the territory of the Fengshui Gang, which is our old club."

"Feng Shui Gang? The old club?" Yi Xifeng asked in surprise.Apparently, this Fengshui Gang caught his attention. If he remembered correctly, Chunfeng Town had once established a gang with the same name as the Shahe Gang, named "Fengshui Gang".

"That's right, water transportation, water transportation, etc. are all the business of the Fengshui gang. Even if they don't mix with them, they still have to take care of them." Speaking of the Fengshui gang, this strong man obviously kept secrets.

"Is there three heads of this Fengshui gang? Besides, they are not locals!" The young Xiaodao in a white Taoist robe asked hastily.

"That's right, that's true!" The man was also surprised that the other party could guess what he was thinking.

After listening to the man's introduction, Yi Xifeng was also very grateful, so he took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and handed it to the man.After all, delaying the other party's time for such a long time, it's okay to give a little money, and besides, Yi Xifeng is not when he just came down from Zhenwu Mountain, so of course he doesn't care about it.

Seeing that the other party gave him a piece of silver, the man on the pier froze on the spot, and was even a little embarrassed to take the piece of silver.Seeing such a simple person, Yi Xifeng also smiled and bid farewell to his opponent.

He didn't listen to the other party's advice and went to Xiaoyuan Academy first, not because he didn't want to see Lin Fenghuo and others, but because he had more important things to do.Because when chatting with that man just now, he heard a piece of news that the number one beauty disciple of the Qingyun sect is going to have a public contest to recruit a wife!
This news made Yi Xifeng flustered immediately, not because he cared about Zhong Lingxi so much, but because in his subconscious mind, the number one beauty of the Qingyun faction was naturally his new younger sister.

Li Xintian wants to invite relatives publicly?She is only fourteen this year!This, isn't this illegal?

Yi Xifeng kept shouting in his heart, obviously he was also very entangled, but he was always very cautious about this kind of thing!It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not!
So this young Xiaodao postponed the matter of revisiting Xiaoyuanhai indefinitely. He decided to go to the martial arts competition to recruit relatives first.

……

Located between Qingyun School and Xiaoyuan Academy, there is a small city called Yinchuan City.The terrain here is much gentler than that of Qingyun City, but compared to the fertile fields of Xiaohe Town, it is slightly rugged. Although there are no high mountains, there are also ravines and mountains. However, the overall terrain is not high, which is more suitable for people to live in.

And in this small town, there is a very powerful new sect called "Confucianism and Famen".

It sounds very grand, a bit close to the Confucian sect, but it doesn't look like the way Confucian forces are named.But for those who really know this sect, this name is very appropriate, because its founder is named Lin Rufa.

He named it after himself, and he could see his intentions.To put it in detail, the Confucianism and Famen immediately attracted the attention of the Wulin Jianghu in Qingchuan County immediately after it was established.We must know that all kinds of news circulate very quickly in the rivers and lakes. People's definition of Yinren Town has changed a lot from the benevolent and righteous people 50 years ago to the rebellious courtiers and thieves now, but it is undeniable that Yinren Town The real background is enough to rival the strength of the top third-rate sects.

And what position can the newly established "Confucianism and Famen" retain in the third-rate sect?
"Master, there is a young Taoist priest who wants to see you, saying that he is an old acquaintance." A steward wearing a black robe stood by a huge pool, looking at the burly tower-like man in front of him. The man said softly.

Lin Rufa ignored the black-robed steward, and continued hammering hammer after hammer to forge the blade in his hand. After a while, the dark man turned around and said indifferently, "How can he prove that he is my old acquaintance?"

The man in black thought for a while, then took a piece of iron the size of a finger from behind him, and said to Lin Rufa: "The little Taoist said, my lord saw this... Huh?"

The man in black was surprised to find that Lin Rufa, who was forging sword embryos by the pool a moment ago, had disappeared in place.

After a few breaths, this man like a black tower appeared outside the gate.Looking at the handsome little Taoist priest in front of him, he couldn't recognize him for a while. Although Yi Xifeng looked fair back then, he was far from his current aura.

Lin Rufa looked at the other person's eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Cherish the wind? Cherish the wind!"

Yi Xifeng also hasn't seen each other for five years, so he naturally misses him very much.Time seemed to be ruthless to Lin Rufa, leaving vicissitudes and oldness on him.

"Lin Bo, are you okay? I just came back from the Hall of True Martial Arts." Lin Rufa was an elder in his heart, and the young man naturally didn't lie, so he gave a general account of his experience in this line of work.

"Just come back, how many days can you stay in Qingchuan County this time?"

"I think I can stay for more than ten days. After all, I have a mission to come out this time. Of course, it doesn't matter if I go back a few days later."

"Well, let's get back to business, you came to me today, not just to see me, right?"

"Hey, Bo Lin still understands me." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and threw the sapphire gourd to the other party.Lin Rufa quickly finished the wine gourd, then uncorked the bottle, raised his head and downed a few gulps.
