Under the sky

Chapter 94 talk on paper

The spring of the first lunar month of the 90th year of Kunlun

"The last time I came here was less than two years ago." Zhuge Ran pondered, "I didn't expect to come again so soon."

"The horse roads in Ba County are very smooth, and the carriages are not bumpy at all." Zhuge Changzhan said, "It is well maintained. Although the people of the first generation in southern Guizhou are poorer, the weather here is different, and Qingcheng is well managed."

"You noticed a lot." Zhuge Ran said, "It's pretty good."

"Second uncle often said that you must pay attention to details." Zhuge Changzhan said, "Roads are the foundation of a country. Places with deserted roads are loosely governed and without business travelers, they will inevitably be poor."

Zhuge Ran was very satisfied, touched his left leg, and said slowly: "This road is still very long. I don't know whether it will be successful or not, and I don't know what variables there are. It's always right to plan first. If you look long, you won't see enough. If you look too far, you will go the wrong way, and you will end up in a dead end. If you look too far, your feet will be stumbling on stones. Only when you take one step and look at the other will you take bigger steps." Zhuge Ran turned his cane, "Shen Yuqing has the ability. When you see him this time, you must learn from him."

He turned around and saw his nephew looking out the window and tapping the car board twice with his cane.Being awakened by the two "dong dong" sounds, Zhuge Changzhan woke up, pointed out the window and said with a smile: "Second uncle, there was a beautiful girl outside just now!"

Zhuge Ran stuck his head over and asked, "Where?"

Zhuge Changzhan smiled and said: "We ran far away. It was probably our convoy that surprised others."

Zhuge Ran made a serious face and cursed: "While I'm talking to you, I'm just looking at the ladies!"

Zhuge Changzhan curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid my nephew saw a pretty girl and didn't point it out to my second uncle, right?"

Zhuge Ran said: "Did you hear what I just said clearly?"

"Listen clearly." Zhuge Changzhan asked, "Second uncle, are we going straight to Qingcheng?"

Zhuge Ran said: "No, let's wait for the two cubs of the Yan family first."

Zhuge Changzhan asked: "Isn't this clearly telling Qingcheng that we are colluding with Huashan?"

Zhuge Ran looked out the window and said slowly: "I just want Qingcheng to know that we are obviously colluding."

The carriage stopped in front of Zhuxianglou, the largest inn in Qingcheng, the same inn where Xie Gubai and others had stayed.As soon as Zhuge Ran got off the bus, he recognized the Huashan convoy parked near the inn. The leader had droopy eyebrows and thin cheeks. He did not recognize this person, but he recognized Yan Zhaochou and Yan Xuting behind him, as well as the tall, unusually tall man. The mighty Du Yin pine.He immediately guessed who the stranger was, and saw the man bending down to bow and salute: "Junior Yan Xuancheng, I have met the deputy commander."

Zhuge Ran raised his cane and pointed at the other party, as a return gift, and said: "Master Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Then he pointed at Zhuge Changzhan and said, "This is my second nephew. Changzhan, I have come to meet some of the young masters. .”

At this moment, everyone reported their names and the ceremony was completed. Zhuge Ran asked: "Is it you who is in charge of coming to Qingcheng this time?"

Yan Zhaochou took a step forward and said respectfully, "I'm in charge. My eldest brother has never been to Qingcheng and wanted to join in the fun, so I took him with me."

"Sure enough, Yan Zhaochou is still in charge." Yan Feixi had heard Zhuge Ran's complaints about his eldest son many times, and thought to himself, "If there is anything to envy about Huashan, it is probably that they do not pass on the descendants."

Zhuge Ran nodded and said, "Okay." Then he said, "Don't worry, have some tea before going."

Yan Zhaochou said to Yan Xuancheng: "Brother, I will have a cup of tea with the deputy commander."

Yan Xuancheng nodded and said, "I'll stay here to wait for Brother Yilin and Yinzheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage turned in from the alley. The flag was a pagoda with a small Tai Chi pattern in the upper right corner. The pagoda was the Shaolin flag, but there was an additional Tai Chi image in the upper right corner, which was the Songshan flag.Yan Xuting smiled and said: "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"

The carriage stopped in front of Zhuxiang Tower, and a voice like a string of silver bells called out: "Brother Xuan! Brother Chou! Brother Xu!" Zhuge Ran saw a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old jumping out of the carriage. He took Yan Xuancheng and the other three to say hello.Yan Xuting, who had always been unhappy, saw the girl and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, sister Yinzheng. I was thinking of paying you a visit in a few months."

Su Yinzheng pouted and said, "You're not telling a clever lie! Brother Xuan is available, but you and Brother Chou are not? They must be busy making trouble for each other! You guys are called Jiji Yingying, and you can't improve your spirituality." !”

Yan Xuting was about to reply when another person got off the carriage.Zhuge Ran looked over and saw that the man was 25 or [-] years old, with a heroic look on his brows. He expected it to be Su Changning's adopted son Su Yilin.

Just listen to the young man shouting: "Second sister, don't fool around, I have met with Master Zhuge first."

Su Yinzheng said "Oh", turned around, lowered his eyelashes, and finally looked directly at Zhuge Ran.Zhuge Ran had always hated people saying he was short. Su Yinzheng's move was so rude that the three Yan brothers were shocked.

Su Yilin hurriedly saluted and said: "Junior Su Yilin and roommate Su Yinzheng have met the deputy master!"

Su Yinzheng didn't realize that he was losing his composure. He looked Zhuge Ran up and down, tilted his head, and after a while, he clasped his head with four fingers, pressed his thumb on his eyebrows, lowered his eyebrows and stared at Zhuge Ran.Zhuge Ran didn't know what was weird about her action, he just thought it looked interesting. Of course, Su Yilin and the Yan brothers knew that there was something wrong with each of them, so they hurriedly shouted to stop.Su Yinzheng reluctantly put down his hand and turned to look at Zhuge Changzhan.Zhuge Changzhan saw her cuteness and said with a smile, "What do you think of me, sister?"

Su Yinzheng stepped forward, stretched out his hand to touch the mole on Zhuge Changzhan's face, and asked, "Is this birthmark of yours born or something that grew later?"

The question was abrupt. Su Yilin offended someone again when she opened her mouth, and reprimanded: "Second sister, if you talk nonsense again, go back to the inn. Don't enter Qingcheng today!"

Yan Xuancheng said hurriedly: "Brother Changzhan, little sister Yinzheng is young and ignorant, so don't argue with her."

Yan Zhaochou was not in a hurry, and said to Zhuge Ran: "Deputy Commander, everyone is here, let's go?" His move to change the subject was actually to surround Wei and save Zhao, but it didn't work on Zhuge Ran.

Zhuge Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't worry, let her finish what she said." He looked at Su Yinzheng and Zhuge Changzhan.Zhuge Changzhan was not angry and said with a smile: "It's natural."

Su Yinzheng said sadly: "You look pretty when you smile. If it weren't for this mole and these birthmarks, your parents would definitely love you more."

This speaks volumes to Zhuge Changzhan's concerns. Because of his poor appearance, his mother favored his eldest brother since he was a child. She was particularly harsh on him, but she was arrogant and indulgent to her brother Zhuge.Zhuge Ran was disabled since he was a child, and Zhuge Yan took great care of his younger brother and had a deep brotherhood. Zhuge Tingguan didn't even learn this benefit from his father, and followed his mother to ridicule his younger brother.Zhuge Changzhan had developed the habit of being tolerant to his brother since he was a child, but no matter how hard he tried, his mother still rarely looked at him seriously.

He didn't know whether Su Yinzheng said this by coincidence or for some strange reason. Seeing her sincere expression, as if she truly felt sorry for him, Zhuge Changzhan felt sad and said, "My parents are very good to me."

"You said he looks good when he smiles, what about me?" Zhuge Ran asked, "You just looked at me for a long time. Is there anything good about me?"

Su Yinzheng looked back at Zhuge Ran and said, "Are you Deputy Commander Zhuge? I often hear people mention it." He gestured with his height with his hand and said, "This is the first time I have seen an elder who is shorter than me. He looks very tall." Lovely."

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped, and Su Yilin even planned to put the girl back in the car and send her back to Songshan on the spot.

Zhuge Ran said "Hey" and was about to have a fit when he saw that Su Yinzheng was innocent and did not look down on him because of his height. He then thought: "I'm really short, why bother with a kid?" Then he smiled and said: "Look at you. It’s also quite cute and makes you lose your temper.”

Everyone was not angry when they saw Zhuge Ran, which was even more surprising than what Su Yinzheng said.Su Yilin thought: "I will never take my sister out next time."

He was going out this time to do business, and Su Yinzheng wanted to follow her. He guessed that she wanted to take the opportunity to find out about Li Jingfeng.The family couldn't stand Su Yinzheng's constant bullying and persistent pursuit. They expected that the trip would be safe, so Su Yilin had no choice but to take her out.

Zhuge Ran said: "Let's go, it's time to go to Qingcheng."

The woman passing by Dian Cang's motorcade was Gu Qingshang. When she saw Dian Cang's motorcade, she immediately increased her speed, passed the motorcade, and arrived at Qingcheng first. She handed over her name card and asked to see the leader, and became the first to arrive among the six groups. one of.

As soon as she arrived at Juntian Palace, before Shen Yongci came, she was scolded by Mrs. Ya who came after hearing the news.Gu Qingshang just lowered his head and kept apologizing. If Shen Yuqing hadn't come over, he didn't know how long he would have been scolded.Gu Qingshang wanted to see Shen Weichen, but Mrs. Ya just refused and walked away.

Seeing her blaming herself, Shen Yuqing comforted her: "My sister-in-law is fine, Miss Gu, don't worry. Madam Ya loves her daughter very much, please don't be offended." Then he asked, "Miss Gu, come alone?"

Gu Qingshang nodded and asked, "Can I see the girl?"

Shen Yuqing saw that she was in a low mood, and she was no longer as cheerful as when they first met. She couldn't bear it, and thought: "She is not to blame for the injury of the little sister." He called someone and said: "Report to the head, Miss Gu is in my room." Here, I’ll see you later.”

Gu Qingshang's expression changed and he asked, "Why did you go to your room?"

Shen Yuqing said: "Girl, don't be surprised, this is a temporary measure."

He knew that both his father and Ya Ye hoped to marry Hengshan. If it was in their own room, they would just say that the young man was whispering and would not disturb him.If she stays in Juntian Palace, it will be difficult to avoid Mrs. Ya's eyes and ears. Secondly, if her father comes to receive her, it will be difficult to see her little sister.

The two took a soft sedan to the Palace of Eternal Life, got off the sedan and walked. Although they walked side by side, Gu Qingshang didn't say a word.Shen Yuqing found a topic and said: "Last month I was chatting with Mr. Fu from the execution hall. Mr. Fu talked about a case when he was young. I found it interesting and wanted to ask Miss Gu for her opinion."

Gu Qingshang said "Hmm" and said, "Sir, please tell me." Looking at her expression, it was obvious that she was absent-minded.

Shen Yuqing said: "At that time, Mr. Fu was the master of the execution hall in Fengjie. A man named Li was hit by a carriage and fell into a ditch and died. The prisoner surrendered and was taken into custody. When the case was about to be closed, his neighbor Gu surrendered himself. Mr. Fu was surprised when he said that he had murdered Li. Could it be that there was a case in the case? Miss Gu, I am from the same clan as you."

Gu Qingshang had no intention of listening to the story, but when Shen Yuqing deliberately brought the topic to herself, she reluctantly responded: "Yes, what a coincidence."

Shen Yuqing asked: "Do you know the reason?"

Gu Qingshang said: "I thought it was Gu who deliberately favored Li when the crime occurred?"

Shen Yuqing shook his head and said: "Mr. Fu asked Gu about the reason. It turns out that there are two roads from Li's house to the fields. The small road is rugged but fast, and the main road is accessible but slow. 30 years ago, Gu pointed out the main road to Li. Now that Li died tragically, Gu blames himself, so he pleads guilty."

Gu Qingshang was surprised and said: "This man is also strange. How can he be blamed for pointing out a path 30 years ago?"

Shen Yuqing nodded and said: "This is indeed unreasonable. Mr. Fu couldn't figure it out at the time, and I can't figure it out now. I still hope that Miss Gu can solve my doubts."

Gu Qingshang frowned and said: "How could I..." She suddenly turned around, understood what Shen Yuqing meant, shook her head and said, "That's different, if I hadn't brought the girl..."

Shen Yuqing smiled and said: "If it weren't for Sect Leader Li who sent you to Qingcheng, if it wasn't for Third Master Chacha's visit, and if it wasn't for my idea to win allies for you, it seems that it's my, Third Master's and your master's fault as well. Really? Miss Gu, that’s not how you use ‘if not’.”

Gu Qingshang smiled and said: "Your method of comforting people is roundabout, and it almost sounds sincere, but I agree with you."

Shen Yuqing smiled bitterly and said: "I am indeed sincere, but for some reason, everyone says I am not sincere."

Gu Qingshang smiled and said: "If you talk too much in official style, your words will not be direct. Just like your brother Mr. Xie, he will sound dishonest."

Mentioning Xie Gubai, Shen Yuqing seemed to think of something and frowned. Gu Qingshang noticed something was wrong in his expression and asked, "Where has Mr. Xie gone?"

Shen Yuqing said: "He went to do some things and was not in the city."

As the two of them were talking, they came to the door of Shen Yuqing's room. Shen Yuqing said: "Miss Gu, please sit down for a moment. I will send someone to inform my little sister."

Gu Qingshang entered the room and waited, but saw Shen Yuqing waiting outside the door. She knew that he was avoiding suspicion. Although she had known that this person was a humble gentleman, she still liked him a little more.After waiting for a long time, Shen Weichen hurried over, and Shen Yuqing said: "You sisters should reminisce about the past, so I won't disturb you." After that, he closed the door and stood guard outside the house for the two of them.

Gu Qingshang was overjoyed to see Shen Weichen acting as usual. He hugged her and said, "Sister, you are finally fine!" Shen Weichen said "Oh", and then Gu Qingshang realized that her injury had not yet recovered, and said apologetically: "I hurt you." .”

Shen Weichen smiled and said: "Doctor Zhu said it's okay, just keep it for a while."

Gu Qingshang pulled up the stool. Although the two of them had been separated for less than a month, they still had a lot to talk about.Gu Qingshang asked: "Sister, you were frightened this time, do you still want to go out in the future?"

Shen Weichen hesitated for a moment and said: "We have caused such a big trouble this time. It will not be easy to go out in the future."

"I'm asking the girl if she wants to do it, not if she can." Gu Qingshang said, "There is always a chance."

Shen Weichen looked gloomy and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Seeing her expression, Gu Qingshang knew that she was worried about dragging down the family after all, so he changed the topic, held her hands and said, "I told my sister that I opened an academy at the foot of Hengshan Mountain. Do you remember?"

Shen Weichen smiled and said: "Of course I remember, it's called Tsing Yi Academy."

Gu Qingshang smiled and said, "Young lady is so considerate." He added, "Actually, your brother is quite nice. It's a pity that I didn't make good friends with him last time."

Shen Weichen smiled and said: "My brother has a lot of benefits. My sister should make more friends with him."

Gu Qingshang was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked: "I saw a Dian Cang flag on the road, how is Qingcheng going to handle this matter?"

Shen Weichen shook his head and said: "I don't know either. My parents just told me to stay in the room and not go out, saying they would handle it."

Suddenly, Shen Yuqing knocked on the door and said, "Miss Gu, the envoys from Diancang, Huashan, and Songshan have arrived. I'll take my leave first. Little sister, you stay with Miss Gu."

Gu Qingshang said: "Sister, take a break. It's time for me to go see Master Shen." She stood up and asked again, "Sister, you really don't want to go and listen?"

Shen Weichen hesitated for a long time. This incident was originally caused by her, but it was left to her parents to deal with the aftermath. She did not want it, but her parents told her not to come out...

Gu Qingshang sighed and said, "Sister, please take good care of your injuries."

When Zhuge Ran and his entourage arrived, Mrs. Chu personally greeted them, but she looked unkind and said coldly: "Deputy Commander, do you want to be serious today?"

Zhuge Ran bowed and saluted, but did not answer. He only asked, "Last time when I came back to Qingcheng, Master Shen personally greeted me. Why didn't I see him this time?"

Mrs. Chu said: "The master is waiting for you." Seeing Zhuge Changzhan behind Zhuge Ran, she asked, "Is this your brother's son?" Seeing Su Yinzheng again, she frowned and asked, "This girl is Su Zhang The door’s daughter?”

Zhuge Ran smiled and said, "Madam, you guessed it right."

In Juntian Hall, Shen Yongci and Shen Yayan were already seated and waiting. Mrs. Ya was worried and followed them to the table.The reason for the visit of these three sects was not stated, but everyone knew it well, and they heard that these three sects arrived at the same time, so it was self-evident.

Shen Yayan said angrily: "This is clearly collusion."

Shen Yongci said worriedly: "Deputy Commander Zhuge is so blatant, it is just a demonstration."

Shen Yayan snorted coldly, and Mrs. Ya couldn't help cursing, blaming Gu Qingshang for kidnapping Xiaoxiao and causing such trouble.Shen Yongci advised: "Miss Gu is the envoy of Hengshan, and Hengshan is an ally of Qingcheng. Don't scold her away. You will lose face."

Mrs. Ya thought it was reasonable, so she didn't say anything.

When Zhuge Ran and his entourage were seated at the table, the guests and host each mentioned their names and exchanged a few irrelevant words. Shen Yong said, "The dog is waiting for guests and will be here later."

After a while, Shen Yuqing arrived with Gu Qingshang.Zhuge Changzhan whispered in Zhuge Ran's ear: "She is the beautiful girl I saw this afternoon."

Zhuge Ran raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "She is indeed a beauty." Suddenly he heard an exclamation of "Wow!" and everyone looked, but Su Yinzheng covered his mouth and looked at Shen Yuqing with wide eyes.Su Yilin was annoyed that she was rude, bumped her with his elbow and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Yinzheng whispered: "He is better-looking than you and your brother-in-law!"

Gu Qingshang bowed and said: "Junior Gu Qingshang, on behalf of our sect Hengshan and our master Li Xuanshen, I would like to wish Mr. and Mrs. Shen and his family good fortune and good health."

Shen Yongci nodded and said with a smile: "Please also wish Master Li of Hengshan good fortune and good health."

Zhuge Changzhan was shocked and whispered: "Is it from Hengshan?"

Zhuge Ran rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think he is a Shaolin monk?"

Shen Yong resigned and asked for a seat. Zhuge Ran was about to speak when Shen Yong resigned and said, "There are a few more guests coming later. It's rare that Qingcheng is so lively today, so I suddenly came up with the idea of ​​letting everyone gather together so that we can talk." "

Sure enough, a servant whispered a few words in Shen Yuqing's ear, and Shen Yuqing immediately left the table.When Shen Yuqing led Tang Jueyan in, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Ya both frowned, feeling that as the head of the Tang Sect's military hall, this girl's dress was too ungrateful.

Zhuge Ran asked: "Are there any other guests?"

Shen Yongci pondered for a long time. He didn't know why Wen hadn't arrived yet, so he had to say: "There is another guest, the abbot Jue Wen of Shaolin Temple. I don't know why he was delayed. I don't want to wait for him. I wonder if the deputy master has any advice for this visit?"

Su Yilin said: "Second sister, the gardens in Qingcheng are beautiful. You can go and take a walk."

Su Yinzheng knew that they were going to talk about business, so he reluctantly got up. Mrs. Chu called the maid to accompany her and left Juntian Palace.

"It finally begins." Shen Yuqing thought to herself.

Zhuge Ran stood up with a cane and said: "Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival has not yet passed, so I led my nephew all the way from Kunming without losing a moment on the way. It was difficult to say these words at first, because there were some It’s abrupt, but for happy events, it’s better to mention them during the festive time.”

"Happy event?" Shen Yayan was surprised.He originally thought that this alliance of the three factions was to call for punishment, but Zhuge Yan said it was a happy event.

"I heard that the pearl in Master Ya's palm is gentle and elegant. He is nineteen years old. Dian Cang has admired his name for a long time and dared to ask Master Ya to give up his love." After Zhuge Ran finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

Shen Yayan stood up suddenly and said angrily: "You want to marry my daughter?"

Zhuge Ran smiled and said: "Of course it's not me, it's my nephew."

Zhuge Changzhan bent down and saluted and said, "Master Ya, please do it."

Shen Yongci didn't expect such a move and couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhuge Ran said: "I wonder if Mr. Ya is willing to give up his love?"

Mrs. Ya looked at Zhuge Changzhan and saw that he was ugly. She asked Xiaoxiao to marry such a man for fear of wronging her daughter.But then again, the identity of the second young master Dian Cang is enough to match Shen Weichen, so he can't help but hesitate.

Shen Yayan said solemnly: "I can't make the decision, I have to like Xiaoxiao."

Zhuge Ran said: "Master Shen, what do you mean?"

If she marries Dian Cang, the grudges with Huashan will be cleared away. Shen Yuqing naturally understands and can't help but look at her father.If both father and Mrs. Chu agree, and Mrs. Ya does not object, maybe Master Ya will give in.

If the marriage is successful, Qingcheng will have to vote for Dian Cang no matter what. Rather than saying that they want to marry their younger sister, it is better to tie up a hostage with a marriage contract.

Before Shen Yongci could speak, Yan Xuting stood up suddenly: "Deputy Commander, you can't do it!"

Huashan actually challenged Dian Cang on the spot. Isn't this counter-intuitive?Only Yan Xuting said: "Miss Shen colluded with Beggar Peng in Huashan. If the Iron Sword Silver Guards hadn't arrived, I would have been almost captured! Huashan is going to investigate this matter today!"

Yan Zhaochou also stood up and said: "Master Shen, Mr. Ya, Mr. Shen, I think the second girl is a lady from a famous family and will never collude with the horse bandits. The purpose of our visit today is to get to the bottom of everything. In the world. There are many women who know how to use Emei to pierce, so maybe my brother has admitted his mistake, so I asked the second girl to come forward to confront me, so that I can go back and give an explanation to my father."

Before Shen Yongci could reply, Su Yilin also stood up and said: "A few months ago, the deputy head of our sect was assassinated. The murderer visited Qingcheng with a famous card. Head Shen, there should be an explanation for this matter."

Although Su Yilin admires Li Jingfeng, this intimidation of Qingcheng will affect the success or failure of Kunlun's joint discussion on Diancang Huashan three months later. Huashan and Songshan have a close relationship, and it is not an alliance of interests like Diancang and Huashan, but a family friend. In the dispute between Song and Song, only Huashan supports Songshan, and one cannot ignore the feelings of the two factions for the sake of personal friendship.

However, he finally cared about Li Jingfeng and did not reveal the fact that he and Shen Yuqing were sworn sworn friends. Only Yan Xiangcheng knew about it, otherwise it would be even harder for Qingcheng to excuse himself.

Shen Yuqing stood up and said: "Jingfeng is indeed the envoy I sent, but he is not under the Qingcheng sect. What he does has nothing to do with Qingcheng. Qingcheng has neither protected nor interceded. If you catch him, There is no need to worry about Qingcheng, just kill him."

Gu Qingshang didn't expect Shen Yuqing to say such words, and couldn't help but be stunned. Then he realized that Li Jingfeng insisted on not interfering with Quan. If Qingcheng protected him, it would make him tied up. It would be better to push him away completely and kill him. ambition.What's more, since Shen Weichen was involved today, Li Jingfeng would not want to harm his little sister because of him.

Yan Xiangcheng was about to soften his cheeks and just stood up. Yan Zhaochou said: "Brother, don't talk. Leave this matter to me." Yan Xiangcheng hesitated for a while and had to sit back in his seat.

Shen Yayan sneered and said: "You three sects are in the same spirit, just to plot against my daughter? Why bother? There are tens of thousands of disciples in Diancang, Huashan, and Songshan, just come and rob me!"

Zhuge Ran smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, Dian Cang is sincerely asking for marriage, and I hope Master Ya will fulfill my wish."

Yan Zhaochou said: "Deputy Commander, don't embarrass us juniors!"

Zhuge Ran said: "It's difficult to be in trouble. How can you, Huashan, fly over Qingcheng to catch my niece-in-law?"

Mrs. Chu stood up and shouted angrily: "Little monkey, don't go too far!"

Shen Yongci held up the tea cup, took a sip of tea slowly, and said slowly: "Everyone, please sit down, don't make the atmosphere tense. Deputy Commander, you also sit down."

Mrs. Chu said angrily: "There's no need to sit down, it's just as high anyway!"

Zhuge Ran's face turned red, he took a breath, sat down and said, "What did Master Shen say?"

Shen Yong said: "I am young and don't know the importance. She originally arrested Young Master Yan to avenge her brother. If she hadn't sacrificed her life and received two blows from the Dragon-Slaying Sword on her shoulder, there wouldn't be only one corpse on the Han River today. The boat bandits should have a few hundred."

These words were tepid and just right, shaking off Yan Feixi's capture of Shen Yuqing.Shen Yongci continued: "If Huashan wants to pursue it, won't Qingcheng also want to pursue it? In my opinion, this matter can be settled. Let's make an agreement and we will not invade each other in the future."

Yan Zhaochou said: "My father has gone too far, so my nephew apologizes on his father's behalf. But Huashan and Peng Xiaobeg are enmity. Miss Shen helps Peng Xiaobeg. Does she also want to enmity with Huashan?"

Everyone thought: "No wonder Yan Feixi didn't come. It turns out he wanted to avoid this matter."

"The reason why my father kidnapped Mr. Shen was because he was heartbroken that his fourth brother died tragically, which made him temporarily confused." Yan Zhaochou changed the topic, looked at Tang Jueyan, and said coldly, "My fourth brother died in Tang Clan, and Tang Clan never gave him any help. Give me an explanation. My younger brother is young and ignorant, and he got involved in the internal strife of the Tang clan. Even if he is guilty, he should be handed over to Huashan to deal with it, instead of dying in the Tang clan for no reason." He pointed his halberd at Tang Jueyan, and the implication was The Tang Sect was angry that Yan Qingfeng was involved in an internal fight. They openly refused to kill him, but secretly took advantage of him to kill him when he left the Tang Sect.

"My father kidnapped Mr. Shen in the hope that Qingcheng would provide a way out so that Huashan could send people into the Tang Sect to investigate the truth and clear up his grievances."

"No wonder Tang Jueyan came because he was afraid that Qingcheng would betray Tangmen." Shen Yuqing thought to herself, but said, "Sir Young Master Yan was indeed safe when he left Tangmen. If he died in Tangmen territory, it should be investigated by Tangmen. That’s it.”

"Miss Tang is your aunt." Yan Xuting said, "Can you believe what you say?"

"Miss Tang Er is right here." Shen Yuqing said, "Why don't you ask her what's going on?"

He changed the topic and threw the problem to Tang Jueyan. Now the Tang Clan could not stay out of the matter.Tang Jueyan stood up and said, "Your fourth brother wanted to do something dirty to me, but I drove him away. Who killed him? The Tang Sect has been tracing it, but there is still no clue."

Yan Xuting sneered and said: "After more than a year of investigation, there are no clues? The Tang Sect can't find it. Let Huashan investigate. Maybe there will be clues soon. By then, I don't know how many lives will be lost."

Tang Jueyan said: "There are many roads to Tangmen. Huashan will send envoys to assist in the investigation, and Qingcheng will not stop it. Tangmen's affairs should be resolved in Tangmen. If Master Yan is sad, he will arrest Mr. Shen to vent his anger. , when my grandfather was assassinated by the Beggar Clan, wouldn’t he also arrest a few Hengshan disciples to vent his anger?”

Shen Yuqing continued: "Second girl, do you think Qingcheng is justified in this matter?"

Tang Jueyan chuckled and said, "I can't tell the difference. I only remember who my sister married and who married my sister."

Her words made it clear that the Tang Sect supported Qingcheng.Speaking of which, if Qingcheng falls, there will be a road from Huashan to Tangmen, and the Tangmen will be surrounded. It will not be easy for Tangmen to threaten Tangmen with this matter.

Yan Zhaochou added: "My father had it, and my son didn't dare to hide it for him. But there was a fight on the road. You slashed me, and I gave you a sword. After the two of them examined the injuries, they said it was fair, and the sect became private. There is a saying ?"

Shen Yong said: "Does Huashan really want to go to war with Qingcheng before it is willing to give up?"

Shen Yayan was about to speak again, but Shen Yongci waved his hand to stop him and asked Zhuge Ran, "Deputy Commander, Dian Cang doesn't want to help Huashan, right?"

Zhuge Ran shook his head and said: "Like Miss Tang Er, I am very partial. I will help anyone who kisses me. However, when this kind of thing happens, it should be left to the leader of the alliance to make a decision. Otherwise, what is the use of Kunlun's consensus?"

Yan Zhaochou said: "Then the alliance leader must make a fair decision. If the decision is unfair, it will be difficult to convince people."

Shen Yuqing naturally understood the truth behind his words, and there was no doubt that this alliance leader they believed in was Dian Cang.And if Huashan refuses to accept it, Huashan will attack from the north and the south, which will be very detrimental to Qingcheng.

Shen Yayan said coldly: "If I don't marry my daughter today, will Huashan and Dian Cang plan to go to war?"

Zhuge Ran said: "I am asking for marriage. The grudge between Qingcheng and Huashan has nothing to do with Dian Cang. According to me, we are all our own people, there is no need to fight."

Shen Yuqing looked at Gu Qingshang. So far, Gu Qingshang has remained silent.If Hengshan doesn't express its position, Tangmen Qingcheng alone will still not be enough to deter Canghua Mountain. Although Songshan is beyond reach, it can always send some support.

However, Gu Qingshang pursed her lips tightly and remained silent. Shen Yuqing had no choice but to call out: "Miss Gu?"

Gu Qingshang said: "Master told me that Hengshan is... grateful to Qingcheng for his righteousness." For some reason, her voice was a little cold, "No matter what happens to Qingcheng, Hengshan will help."

Zhuge Ran asked: "Who is Miss Gu?"

Shen Yuqing said: "She is the first disciple of Head Li."

Zhuge Ran smiled and said: "Such an important matter, just an explanation? Do you have a handwriting from the head of Li?" He had paid attention to Gu Qingshang and saw that she had not spoken for a long time. He expected that he would not get the master's permission to intervene this time. dispute.Now listening to Gu Qingshang's words, although Hengshan means to support Qingcheng, there is no metaphor and the identity of the messenger is insufficient - if Hengshan really wants to intervene, he will never send just one young disciple here, so It is difficult to determine the authenticity of this statement.Qingcheng was closely related to the Tang clan, but had no such relationship with Hengshan. It was just a verbal promise from a disciple, and Shen Yongci would not believe it.

Tang Jueyan giggled and said: "It's really rare to have marriage and revenge at the same time. Everyone knows the origin of the grandma. Many people looked down on the grandma in the past, but the grandma said that the girls from the Jiujia family are just like prostitutes. You can achieve things by spreading your legs, so who is more despicable than the other?"

From the Tang Sect's standpoint, they never wanted Qingcheng to defect, so her words were intended to anger Shen Yayan.Shen Yayan's expression changed after hearing this, she stood up and angrily shouted: "Whose daughter are you saying is despicable?!"

Tang Jueyan said with a smile: "Isn't my sister married to the fourth master of the Shen family? My mother-in-law doesn't think her granddaughter is despicable. In the Tang Sect, no one dares to say that prostitutes are despicable. Master Ya had a lot of affairs when he was young, don't you think that he is despicable? See, all those women are despicable?”

Shen Yayan was furious but speechless, her face flushed red.

Shen Yong said: "Deputy Commander, I accept your wishes, but the Shen family cannot reach a higher level. But..."

Zhuge Ran had been fussing for a long time, waiting for this "but".

"It doesn't hurt to let them get to know each other. Maybe they are right. We, the older generation, don't have to worry about it. Big brother, Yunnan has beautiful scenery. It would be good to find some people to accompany Xiaoxiao to see the scenery. "

Shen Yuqing was shocked: "Dad!"

What Shen Yongci meant was that he would not enter into a marriage contract and let Shen Weichen go to Yunnan as a hostage, which was equivalent to promising Kunlun to support Dian Cang in the discussion.

"It's just the middle way." Zhuge Ran sneered in his heart, "Damn the middle way! No loss of daughter, no war, just compromise."

In the final analysis, it doesn't matter whether Shen Weichen marries or not, what he wants is a hostage.If you push harder, you can get more even if you take a step back. As long as Shen Weichen reaches Dian Cang and becomes a hostage, the vote will be certain.

Suddenly I heard Gu Qingshang say: "Master Shen, I have something to say!"

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, stood up, walked to Shen Yongci, handed over a red letter, and said, "This is the marriage letter from master." Shen Yongci took it and was about to ask again, but Gu Qingshang was already standing He went to the middle of the hall and said, "Master has granted me a marriage, allowing me to marry Mr. Shen!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, even Zhuge Ran said "Oh".

Then she saw Gu Qingshang walking a few steps, facing Shen Yuqing and saying, "Mr. Shen, you are great, but I don't like you, and I don't want to get married." She turned to Yan Xuting and said, "You were married that day. When the horse bandits attacked, two masked girls helped Peng Xiaobei, one was Miss Shen, and you don’t know who the other one is, right?"

Yan Xuting was stunned, looked at Gu Qingshang's figure carefully, and said in surprise: "It's you?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Ran's mind was racing and he couldn't stop him. He just said coldly: "Miss Gu, think about your master and Hengshan Mountain!"

These words struck a chord with Gu Qingshang. The reason why she never made it clear was because she was worried about her master and Hengshan. But now, the world that her master wanted to be dominated by women was about to disappear.

But she was still unwilling to become "the woman of the nine great families" in Tang Jueyan's words.Even Shen Yuqing, she doesn't want it.

Gu Qingshang said: "Miss Shen was bewitched by me, so she helped Peng Xiaobei. I was the one who caused this trouble. You went to Qingcheng, but you went to the wrong person! If Huashan wants to be held accountable, you should hold me accountable. I will give you justice!"

After she finished speaking, she drew her sword and wiped it against her neck.At this time, she was standing in the middle of the hall. No one expected that she would suddenly commit suicide without even a single reason. Even if masters like Shen Yongci and Shen Yayan were present, they could not stop her.

With that marriage certificate, Shen Yongci would believe her, Gu Qingshang thought the moment the sword light lit up.

Shen Weichen would definitely take care of Qingyi Academy for her, better than she could take care of it herself, but she could never see the world where that woman was in power.

She didn't hate men, and she even had some affection for Shen Yuqing, but she would never be the woman Tang Jueyan said, a woman who had to spread her legs to achieve anything.

Therefore, there is only one way left for her...

The sword light lit up and then dimmed, but no blood splattered.A ray of silver light flew in suddenly and hit Gu Qingshang's arm hard, causing severe pain in Gu Qingshang's wrist, and the long sword flew out of his hand.

A wooden Emei thorn fell on the ground. Everyone was stunned and looked back. They saw a beautiful and elegant girl standing outside the door, it was Shen Weichen.

Shen Yuqing hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Qingshang, and Shen Weichen also grabbed him.It turned out that she saw Gu Qingshang looking weird when he left, so she followed him secretly. She heard clearly the quarrel in the Juntian Palace, until Gu Qingshang stood up. She knew that this sister had a strong character, so she was secretly on guard. When she saw her, she drew her sword. , and immediately threw the Emei thorn.

Just to save people, she threw it with so much force that she actually broke Gu Qingshang's arm bone.Gu Qingshang was sweating profusely in pain, trying not to scream.

Shen Weichen gently pressed Gu Qingshang's shoulder to express his apology, stood up, saluted Zhuge Ran, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the misguided love of the deputy commander. Apart from asking for a wife, I will only marry someone who can beat me."
