That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 750

After Li Fenggu settled down in Xianhua Temple, there was an endless stream of people visiting him, including Taoists, monks, Confucian scholars, and all kinds of people who didn't know the so-called.

Since ancient times, no matter the temple or the rivers and lakes, no one dares to challenge an old swordsman who has experienced many battles and become famous, but if this old swordsman is defeated by a new swordsman who has just entered the rivers and lakes, there will be many people who dare not People from all walks of life who challenged the old swordsman flocked here, hoping to step on the new swordsman to the top, until the new swordsman was defeated, or the new swordsman defeated all the challengers and became another swordsman. An old swordsman who has experienced many battles and no one dares to challenge rashly.

Master Xuelang who was defeated in the debate was the old swordsman, and Li Fenggu, the new face, was a new swordsman who had to face the challenges of visitors from all directions.

This almost overwhelmed the debate between Li Xu, the elder of Xuanjiao East, and Qingchen, the master of Taoism, and naturally aroused the ideas of many local landlords in Jiangdu, such as Zhang Xueyao, Qin Mumian, and Tang Shengyue.

The three of them gathered in the East Lake Courtyard as usual, but today there was another junior, not Lian Gongzi Li Qinglian, nor Yumei Wu Yu, but Jianzong's young wife, Daqi's Princess Highness Xiao Zhinan.

Today's Jiang is no better than before. The reason why the three women were able to sit in Jiangdu was because of some very subtle factors. At that time, the former emperor Xiao Yu was still in power. Jiangdu was moved to Liangxiang, Huzhou, and the Jiangnan Anwei Mansion was moved to Jiangzuo, Jiangzhou, almost completely surrendering Jiangdu.For the same reason, Daoist sect leader Qiu Ye also suppressed the Jiangnan Taoist sect, which was at its peak, and also gave up Jiangdu. It sounds ridiculous, but it is the truth.In order to pay off their early love debts, the emperor and the head teacher agreed to give up the huge city of Jiangdu to three women.

So the three women became the masters of Jiangdu.

Of course, when mentioning Xiao Yu and Qiu Ye, Lin Yinping and Murong Xuan had to be mentioned. They were not only because of their husbands, but also because of a subtle mentality of "the winner looks at the loser". put one's oar in.

But now Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping have passed away, while Qiu Ye and Murong Xuan are aiming at the world, and Xiao Xuan is only about to tear the last face off. With Qiu Ye acquiescing to Chen Ye's proposal, let Du Haichan After returning to Jiangdu, it is unknown whether Jiangdu can still maintain its former happiness.

As early as before, the three women were in a three-legged situation, friends and rivals, and they were always in the same boat, and even had some dirty things under the table, but now, the three of them have completely abandoned their previous suspicions and joined forces foreign.There are quite a few big figures who have stumbled in Jiangdu over the years, including Zhang Zhaonu, the former Ninth Man in the World, Bingchen, Taiyi from the Temple of Demon Suppression, and Murong Xuanyin, the dignified leader of Xuanjiao.

It's funny to say that the reason why the former two came to Jiangdu on their own initiative was entirely because Murong Xuanyin was defeated in the battle, and they came with the mentality of fighting each other for the fisherman's gain. The halberd sank to the sand, Bingchen lost an arm, Zhang Zhaonu simply left his life here.

A square low table was set up in the Liuli Pavilion, and four women were sitting around the table. Zhang Xueyao said softly, "I remember that in the 21st year of Taiping, when Nangui just arrived in Jiangdu, we old women were here. Chatting and talking, I wanted to play a few horse tags at the time, but it happened that one of the three was missing, so I said that after Nan returned, let him make up the number, but I didn’t expect that after Nan Gui took over Jianzong, things would happen one after another. He is so busy that he has no time to spare himself, so he has no time to play horse tags with the rest of us, and it just so happens that Zhinan is here today, so you will fill Nangui's vacancy?"

Xiao Zhinan smiled and nodded.

The method of horse hanging cards is simple, each person takes eight cards first, and puts the remaining eight cards in the middle of the table.Four people take turns playing and taking cards, playing cards to beat small ones.There are dealers and players in horse tagging.There is no fixed owner in the village, so you can take turns to sit.Therefore, the three players joined forces to attack the dealer and make the dealer go down.

In the first round of cards, Xiao Zhinan was the banker, Zhang Xueyao smiled and said: "Zhinan, this banker is not easy to play, there are enemies on all sides, so you have to be careful everywhere."

After playing the cards, Xiao Zhinan said softly: "In today's Jiangdu, we are the bankers, and it is really difficult to do."

Qin Mumian played a card and said: "Now there are only four families who can play the card table, the imperial court, the Buddhist school, the Taoist school, and the newcomer Li Fenggu, whether it is Jianzong, or Bailian and Wenxiang. It can be regarded as the imperial family, Buddhist and Taoist families needless to say, they are all old acquaintances and old rivals, only Li Fenggu has a suspicious background, I am afraid there is another person behind it."

Tang Shengyue did not play a card, "The land of the Far West does have its land, and the people of the Far West do have its own people. From my point of view, it might really be a powerful dragon crossing the river from outside. I am a descendant of the White Lotus Sect. The Pure Land sect of Buddhism, which also has records about the so-called holy hall, is said to be the largest religion in the far west, and even stronger than today's Taoism. Anyone who has never converted will be called a heretic, named " Judgment's existence and execution, this court should be almost the same as the Daomen Suppressing Demon Hall, but its actions are more domineering than the Suppressing Demon Hall, from a small perspective, this temple must also act extremely domineeringly, even more than the Daomen."

Zhang Xueyao sighed helplessly, "Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come."

There was silence in the Liuli Pavilion, and the atmosphere was a bit oppressive, except for the clear and crisp sound of the leaves falling on the table.

After a round of cards was played, Qin Mumian was changed to sit in the manor. Xiao Zhinan said, "It's been more than a month since Nan returned to Wei, and he hasn't returned yet. I don't know what happened."

Qin Mumian frowned and said: "Mr. Sun Shiwu just died there, and several big families have their own ghosts. The situation is extremely complicated. Xiao Jin seems to be a little bit overwhelmed. He shouldn't be able to make it to this poker table, right?"

"Should?" Zhang Xueyao sneered, "If it were someone else, I believe, if it was Xiao Jin, unless he died, I wouldn't believe that there was still a poker table that he couldn't get to. Maybe that Li Fenggu was His people."

Tang Shengyue changed the subject and said softly: "Speaking of Nangui, there is still something to discuss. Since the expulsion of the Jiangnan Daomen, the affairs of Jiangdu have been resolved by Nangui alone. Now that Nangui is not here, although the three of us represent It's not impossible to take charge, but it's a bit inconvenient for the court, so we thought..."

Zhang Xueyao looked at Xiao Zhinan, and said, "That's why we want you, Zhinan, to come out and preside over the overall situation. After all, you now have the cultivation base of the twelfth floor of the Earth Immortal, and you are a princess equivalent to a prince. The yamen, the secret guard's mansion and the military governor's mansion, you can handle it all, so it's most suitable for you to be the person in charge."

Xiao Zhinan was noncommittal, and asked instead: "The side of the sect?"

Zhang Xueyao raised her voice slightly, "Of course we three old fellows will come forward to explain in person, and no one will jump out and make noise at this time without opening their eyes."

Xiao Zhinan didn't give in and shirk, and nodded bluntly: "Okay."

At this moment, after a round of cards was played, Qin Mumian went to the dealer, and it was Xiao Zhinan's dealer again, but this time she really had to be the dealer.

The banker of Jiangdu.
