Chapter 747 Tiger Hill Conference (third shift)
Huqiu Mountain is located in the northwest corner of Suzhou City, a short distance from the shore of Taihu Lake.The Jiangnan scholars who arrived early yesterday went to play in Taihu Lake. The next day, almost all the Jiangnan scholars had arrived at Qihuqiu Mountain.In ancient times, except for uprisings, it was extremely rare for the people to spontaneously form empty streets.

Huqiu Mountain was only ten feet high, so it wasn't that big. Ten thousand people rushed in suddenly.Coupled with the scholars' high-spirited talk, it became even more noisy.Some scholars who couldn't go up the mountain had to sit on the ground at the foot of the mountain, enjoying themselves.

"I see that most of these young talents are just following the crowd blindly. They don't know what to do when they arrive here, so they regard this literary gathering as a hike to relax and call friends. I thought illiterate people would This is the case, but in fact everyone is like this." Chu Yun saw the noisy scholars, and he believed that he could disperse them as long as he had dozens of musketeers.

"My lord, why did we come here? We don't know these people, so we might as well find some delicious food." Goya said dissatisfied.

"Hey, we're here to make trouble." Chu Yun said with a smile.

"Do something?" Goya became more energetic after hearing this, "Then I want to join."

"Yes, and maybe you will be the protagonist today." Chu Yun said.

Because Ella's long golden hair was too conspicuous, Chu Yun ordered her to do other things, so she didn't follow.Chu Yun brought Xiao Xiu'er, Ge Ya, Yu Cheng and other bodyguards with him, looking like the children of a rich family traveling with beauties and servants.

"Get out of the way!" Yu Cheng led his men to open the way ahead, pushing away the scholars blocking the mountain road.

These scholars saw that Yu Cheng and the others were so vicious that it was not easy to provoke Chu Yun, so they obediently made way for a passage, and Chu Yun and the others proudly entered the mountain gate.

After this mountain gate, there is a second mountain gate - Duanliang Hall, which is also overcrowded.

"Brother Xiao!" A voice sounded, and Chu Yun looked back, it was Gu Yanwu whom he saw yesterday.

The name Chu Yun called Gu Yanwu was also Xiao Yun, and Xiao Xiu'er temporarily became Chu Yun's younger sister.

"I didn't expect Miss Xiao to come too." Gu Yanwu squeezed through the crowd, saw Chu Yun and Xiao Xiu'er, and quickly saluted.

"Since we are in Suzhou City, how can we miss the grand meeting in Huqiu Mountain? When I saw scholars from Jiangnan gathered here today, I couldn't help but feel that Jiangnan is full of talents." Chu Yun looked very relaxed, and several guards stood on his behalf. fend off the crowds around you.

Gu Yanwu was surprised when he saw that there were a few more servants beside Chu Yun, "Could it be that brother Xiao is the descendant of a big merchant?"

"No, no." Chu Yun didn't say it clearly, but asked Gu Yanwu, "Brother Gu, this Huqiu Mountain is crowded with tens of thousands of people, and it's too noisy. How can we discuss articles?"

Gu Yanwu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Brother Xiao doesn't know something. We non-influential scholars can find a random thing at the foot of the mountain or in the forest road between the mountains, bring good wine, spread straw mats, and sit on the ground, and then we can talk about it. And Those influential scholars are gathering at the Huqiu Pagoda on Huqiu Mountain to discuss their ideas. There are very few of them, and there are basically only one or two people in each literary society who are qualified to go to the Huqiu Pagoda."

"So it is." Chu Yun looked at the most conspicuous Huqiu Pagoda in Huqiu Mountain, which was more than ten feet high.

It seems that there is no need to bother to find them. These people are the ones I want to focus on.

"Let's go to Tiger Hill Pagoda to have a look at the influential scholars." Chu Yun became interested and wanted to see who the people in Tiger Hill Pagoda were seeking.

"I still have to accompany my former classmates and friends, so I will not do so. But I have to remind Brother Xiao, there are members of various literary societies under the Tiger Hill Tower, and they may not let Brother Xiao enter the Tiger Hill Tower." Gu Yanwu said.

"Thank you Brother Gu for reminding us that we only need to pay our respects under the pagoda." Chu Yun smiled slightly.

If Gu Yanwu knew his real reason for coming, he wondered if he would faint on the spot.

Chu Yun and his party bid farewell to Gu Yanwu and came to the foot of the Huqiu Pagoda. Sure enough, they saw a group of scholars guarding the wind under the pagoda, preventing idlers from approaching.

"Master, they think carefully, it seems that we can't get in." Yu Cheng said.

"That's what they're doing, we're waiting outside, I'm really curious who is involved."

Chu Yun didn't force his way, but sat on the ground like other scattered scholars outside Huqiu Mountain, patiently waiting for the people in Huqiu Pagoda to end the meeting.Many of the people who held the meeting in the Tiger Hill Pagoda were the leaders of the literary society, and most of the scholars outside listened to them.Basically, as long as they get rid of them, the scholars who follow suit will disperse.

"My lord, aren't we here to make trouble? Why are you just sitting here?" Goya said depressingly.

"Wait patiently, there will be a good show later." Chu Yun said.

At this time, two men in blue shirts came from the foot of the mountain, accompanied by a few subordinates, pushing away the flow of people.

"Brother Zuo, shall we not go to Tiger Hill Pagoda to conspire with them?" One of the men asked the other.

"What is there to talk about with them? No matter which clan they want to support, it's just a banner. When we arrive at Huqiu Pagoda, we might be watched by people from the Intelligence Department. You must know that the Intelligence Department is elusive. By the way, How about the candidate to assassinate Chu Yun?" Zuo Liangyu asked.

"I have found a few dead soldiers here, and loyalty is definitely not a problem. And I will try to secretly get some quick-fire pistols from our Jiangxi Chief Secretary's security force, and try to kill them." Liu Liangzuo said.

"It's not about killing, but the assassination must be successful, otherwise we will all be drowned!" Zuo Liangyu said.

"Yes." Liu Liangzuo said.

Neither of them had seen Chu Yun with their own eyes, so when they passed by Chu Yun, they didn't find that the person they wanted to assassinate was far away and close in front of them.

Chu Yun didn't know what Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo looked like, so he just glanced curiously at Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo who were passing by.

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo also found a place to sit down, waiting for the Huqiu meeting to end.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the foot of the mountain became uneven again. After a while, a woman came straight to Huqiu Pagoda with a few servants, making a fuss all the way.

"What happened? Did the government send yamen servants here?" A scholar ran up from the foot of the mountain, alarming the guards under the Tiger Hill Pagoda.

"Chen Zilong's wife from several societies came to him, saying that he has another woman outside and is causing trouble!" said the scholar who ran up the mountain.
