Still pity the grass and trees

The table is ready, and the exquisite dishes are served like flowing water.The roll sheds and pavilions were full of guests, and the noise was loud.The hall is full of prominent figures, their manners are not so unrestrained, but they are also full of wine and wine, so it is very lively.

Shen Pei introduced his precious son Shen Dunhuan to Qunhao. He was a fat young man with delicate skin and tender flesh. He didn't know his skills, but he was very humble. Turn into the backyard and go to prepare for the wedding.

Ji Tanyin was drunk by the seniors in turn, and soon became drunk, her cheeks were flushed.Yin Yang Master Liu Kui joked: "Ji Shaoxia's drinking capacity is far worse than your master's, even the Flower Pavilion Master next to him."

"Mr. Tong, don't make fun of me," Ji Tanyin leaned on his forehead with his right hand, and turned his head to Hua Yueying with a smile, "The master of Huage is a hero among women. I can't compare it and I am not ashamed."

Qishaquan Luo You laughed loudly, pretending to pour wine for Ji Tanyin again, but was stopped by Hua Yueying, and blamed him: "You bully him because he is young, let Ji Daxia know, I can't give you good fruit to eat!"

Perhaps it was because of drinking, or because she was in a good mood, Hua Yueying looked like a completely different person from the night before.She has a soft voice and a warm smile. Just sitting next to her, Ji Tanyin feels like a spring breeze. Seeing her help him hold back the wine, with the expression and posture like an elder sister doting on a younger brother, he was moved for a moment and felt close to her.

With Hua Yueying's backing, Ji Tanyin just ate vegetables and drank tea, not touching the wine cup.While listening to the gossip, he looked left and right at the guests in the hall, and his eyes fell on Xie Wufeng for a while, and he was sitting at the fifth table out of place, not talking to anyone, holding a silver enamel peach cup in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes Cold, with a gloomy expression.As soon as the noise around him touched him, it disappeared naturally like a stone sinking into the surface of a lake.Ji Tanyin was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

Hua Yueying followed Ji Tanyin's line of sight: "Look at your cousin?"

Ji Tanyin nodded.Hua Yueying looked at Xie Wufeng, and suddenly asked: "Where is your uncle's family?"

Ji Tanyin was taken aback, and suddenly realized that she couldn't remember Xie Wufeng's ancestral home.While hesitating, he suddenly saw a small commotion at the fifth table, Xie Wufeng got up abruptly, with the front of his clothes dripping wet, he stared at Wang Suan angrily.Wang Suan couldn't help bowing and apologizing, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, but Xie Wufeng snatched it away.

"What's wrong?" Ji Tanyin has been paying attention to this side, and immediately ran over when something happened.

Seeing him, Xie Wufeng's impatient expression immediately turned into a gentle smile: "It's nothing, this hero accidentally spilled wine."

Wang Suan is a serious trainer, although he can't be called a first-class master, he can't even hold a glass of wine unsteadily. If he is drunk, he can still talk in an orderly manner.Ji Tanyin guessed that this matter was tricky, and pulled Xie Wufeng behind him, staring at Wang Suanan with sharp eyes.Wang Suan didn't want to have an enmity with Ji Tanyin, so he bowed his back and apologized repeatedly. He was short in stature, but now he almost shrank to the ground. He did a pitiful appearance, as if Ji Tanyin was bullying him.Seeing Si Jun, Zuo Guizi and others next to him, they quickly smoothed things over: "Brother Ji, Wang Suansu is really drunk, I will be a witness!"

Ji Tanyin didn't expect this kind of situation, but felt unspeakably depressed, and it was not easy to attack, so he suppressed his anger for a while and said: "Since you are drunk, don't drink any more."

Wang Suanan lowered his head and said in awe and fear, "I won't drink anymore, I won't drink anymore."

A turmoil broke out in this way, and it was very anticlimactic.Ji Tanyin stood there in a daze, unable to get off the stage.At this time, Xie Wufeng came out from behind him, first held Wang Suan's arm to make him stand upright, and then bowed around with a smile on his face: "I know Mr. Wang is drunk, so I didn't take it to heart. It's just that Ayin has always protected me. I told you guys to watch the joke." After finishing speaking, he patted Ji Tanyin on the back twice, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, go back to your place and eat at the bar, Daxia Shen is watching."

Ji Tanyin rolled her eyes a little, and she saw Shen Pei, who was sitting at the first table talking with Master Fang Shao, looking this way.This was someone else's wedding banquet, Ji Tanyin didn't want to make a fuss, so he just gave Wang Suan a few glances.He was worried about thanking Wufeng, and pulled him aside, apologizing repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I left you alone."

"Look at you," Xie Wufeng pinched Ji Tanyin's face, it felt soft and soft, and smiled affectionately, "It's like I'm a little sheep that fell into a pack of wolves."

Ji Tanyin pursed her lips, thinking that it was all right.Since rescuing Xie Wufeng, the two of them have been together for many days, and their relationship has grown stronger. Ji Tanyin always pretends to be a protector, and takes care of Xie Wufeng as his top priority, for fear that he will be bullied.Xie Wufeng once joked that no amount of money would be able to hire such a conscientious bodyguard.

Ji Tanyin returned to the second table, Hua Yueying said: "You brothers have such a good relationship."

Ji Tanyin pursed her lips and smiled in embarrassment, and asked curiously, "Does Master Hua have no brothers or sisters?"

Hua Yueying shook her head: "I have been alone since I was a child, and there is no one else except Master. It's just that Master doesn't like to talk, so childhood was very lonely."

When Ji Tanyin heard that she was also an orphan, she couldn't help feeling sorry for each other, and comforted her: "Master Hua Pavilion doesn't need to be sad, you are now in command of Zhuyue Pavilion, but there are countless people who command you."

Hua Yueying touched the silver-threaded autumn bun on her head, with a lonely smile, she gave Ji Tanyin a gentle look, and said, "You don't know, although there are many people under her command, how many of them are able to speak intimately? Look, I am very close to you today, but you are full of 'Hua Pavilion Master', 'Hua Pavilion Master', it is so hard to get along! Is it so difficult to call Sister Hua?"

"Where is this word?" Ji Tanyin blushed and hurriedly argued, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid that Sister Hua will regard me as a flatterer and hate me because of it."

Hua Yueying raised her brows with joy, put her left hand lightly on Ji Tanyin's wrist, and said with a smile, "Why? I'm too happy to be happy."

The two had a very happy conversation at the moment, and Ji Tanyin referred to her as "sister".

The host, Shen Pei, wandered around the banquet, greeting various guests, and came to the second table after a while, and drank a glass of wine with those present.Seven Killing Fist Luo You said: "Hero Shen, why don't you see Lord Cai? Please also come out and have a drink with the brothers."

"Yeah," Yin Yang Zhangtong Liu Kui said softly, "I haven't seen him for so many years, I miss him so much!"

Ming Biaohua also echoed: "The case of Mr. Ren Chengwei Wen Shiyu is very strange. I want to discuss it with Mr. Cai."

"Mr. Shen understands my friends' feelings," Shen Pei said, "It's just that Mrs. Cai and Qianjin just arrived in Dingtao this morning. They were very tired during the journey, and now they are resting in the backyard. All friends want to see each other. We will get married tomorrow, so naturally we can see each other." See."

"Forget it," Ni Guanming snorted lightly, and waved his hands, "Let's not talk about Mr. Cai, let's talk about the alliance of martial arts sects. Shen Daxia spent a lot of money on this wedding banquet, isn't it just for this reason."

As soon as these words came out, the living room fell silent.Shen Pei's expression remained unchanged, he smiled faintly, and said calmly: "Master Ni is really quick to speak. Since that's the case, Shen has nothing to deny. Over the years, I have been committed to promoting the alliance of martial arts, and I have done it aboveboard. My fellow martial arts We all know. I want to unite everyone because today's martial arts are independent and there are no rules. Like the random guests who have been in the limelight these years, they do some petty theft, not to mention some heretics who rely on martial arts to bully Common people, as a martial artist, I don't want to stand by and watch, I just want to punish him quickly. No matter what people say about me, Shen is not afraid. The only thing I don't admit is that Shen has never been the leader of the alliance. I have my own thoughts. If I get the love of all my friends and recommend me as the leader, I will never shirk it, but there are still many seniors in the world who are more respected than Shen, such as Master Fang Shao, Taoist Jing Zhi, and even the hermit Hero Ji Heng. If they become the leader of the alliance, Shen and his disciples and servants will all be willing to be bound by them."

What he said was beautiful and upright, Ni Guanming didn't know how to refute, raised his wine glass, lowered his eyes and remained silent.The guests present had their own thoughts, stopped their cups and threw their chopsticks for a while, and fell into deep thought.

"Amitabha," Master Fang Shao said, "Mr. Shen wants to establish rules in the martial arts, restrain the words and deeds of those who learn martial arts, and be kind to others, it is a great compassionate heart."

Taoist Master Jingzhi also praised, and continued: "It's just that the seniors of Shaolin and Wudang made an oath 50 years ago to just practice purely and ignore the common affairs of Wulin. It’s really a shame.”

Mrs. Yubai nodded and said: "Hengshan sect has strict rules, and the poor nun has always agreed that there should be some rules in the martial arts. If we really form an alliance, our sect will definitely cooperate, but the faction is all women. I'm afraid they don't contribute much. The poor nun is virtuous." Not enough, let alone take on the leadership position.”

Shen Pei couldn't hide the joy on his face, he hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Yubai, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Mrs. Shen has such a heart, I can't thank you enough!"

At this point, the situation in the hall gradually became clear.Shaolin and Wudang, the two sects with the longest established sects and detached status, remained neutral and did not participate in the alliance. No matter who became the leader of the alliance after that, they would not be able to control them, while the Hengshan faction voluntarily gave up competing for the position of leader.

These years, the Five Sacred Mountains have declined and the population has withered. Only the Hengshan School is still trying to maintain it, but people in the Jianghu have long ignored it. Today, Shen Pei invited Mrs. Yubai to sit at the first table, which is just a good way to make a table. Fasting.Even if Master Yubai opposed the alliance, her words would not carry much weight.

The key to the success of the martial arts alliance is the people sitting at the second and third tables. These people are not only powerful in martial arts, but also have many disciples under them, and their power is far beyond that of ordinary lone rangers.For example, Zhai Yu, the head of Xuandaomen, Ming Biaohua, the owner of Xiyan Mountain Villa, Ni Guanming, the head of Liuhuo Hall, Hua Yueying, the head of Zhuyue Pavilion, Hu Han, the leader of the Beggar Clan, Fang Lang, the leader of Zisong Society, etc., and several others who did not come to the banquet sect leader.Ji Tanyin's elder brother Li Chengyang's family runs the Xiongtu Escort Agency. Because it has a large number of branches in the south and has a large number of personnel, his father Li Conning is also a man of distinction.

Most solitary martial arts figures, such as Yin Yang Zhang Tong Liu Kui and others, don't have much say in the alliance, but if a martial arts leader is really elected, they have to accept his orders.They have always been used to being free and unrestrained, and they don't want to be controlled for nothing.What's more, once something goes wrong, and the leader gives an order, they will attack in groups, no matter how high the martial arts are, how can they resist it?Therefore, I hope that this will not happen.Most of the guests who came to the wedding banquet felt the same way.I just don't know where those sect leaders are planning to go.

Ji Tanyin was still young, and was moved by Shen Pei's words of upholding justice, distinguishing between black and white, punishing evil and promoting good, and secretly agreed in his heart.He quietly looked around, seeing the worried faces of the seniors, he couldn't help being surprised, he couldn't help but nudged Hua Yueying lightly with his elbow, and said angrily, "Sister Hua, don't you agree?"

Hua Yueying's lips were tightly pursed, her slender eyelashes covered her lake-like eyes, and she did not answer Ji Tanyin's question.

The living room was silent for a while, and suddenly a person said harshly: "Shen Daxia is considerate of the people of the world, and the monk admires it very much. But can we wait until we are full to discuss it? The monk has not had breakfast today, and Qing is waiting for this meal." !"

It was Monk Jinlian who was speaking, and he was holding two chopsticks in his hand, knocking on the dishes impatiently.The tense atmosphere in the living room was resolved in an instant, the heroes burst out laughing, and occasionally someone ridiculed him as a "big bucket", Shen Pei couldn't help laughing: "Of course, of course, today we must let this non-vegetarian monk have a good time!"
