The wind blows the plum blossoms over Guanshan

The Tianzihao rooms are located on the fourth floor of the Jumbo Inn, and there is a private room specially prepared for the Tianzihao guests on the second floor.At this time, Murong Zhaohui was sitting in the private room, and lowered the curtains on all sides.He wore a hat and covered his face with a tulle.This is the result of a group of subordinates trying their best to persuade them, in order to attract less attention.After all, with his appearance, he can't avoid attracting attention wherever he goes, and only by covering it can he avoid a lot of trouble.

"Changsheng, you are finally here. Yanzi, let them serve the food."

Yanzi took the order to ask Xiaoer to serve, Changsheng felt a little guilty for letting Murong Zhaohui wait, so he quickly pulled the stool away and sat down opposite Murong Zhaohui.

"The day after tomorrow is the day of the martial arts competition. I think there will be more people on the street tomorrow. Why don't you go out for a walk today and rest in the inn tomorrow." Murong Zhaohui pushed a plate of dim sum in front of Chang Sheng.

"It's so good." Chang Sheng was not polite, and he finished the whole plate of dim sum in a while.While Changsheng was eating dim sum, Xiao Er dutifully brought a bunch of delicacies to the table.After lunch, the two walked in the street market of Baishui Town.Several attendants followed from a distance, only Xiaoshuang and Yanzi were able to follow.

Xiaoshuang and Yanzi also don't go out often, and everything they see is very novel, chatting behind the scenes, pointing at the dough people at the stall for a while, and watching the strange-looking kites flying in the sky for a while.Chang Sheng was also surprised to see the martial arts people in strange costumes along the way, thinking about the stories in the martial arts novels he had read before, with a slight smile on his face.The martial arts people passing by on the street can see their clothes and accents everywhere, not only in Chudi, it seems that the influence of this martial arts conference is still quite large, and it can attract heroes from all corners of the country.

"What are you doing?" Hearing Xiao Shuang scolded angrily, Chang Sheng turned his head, and it turned out that a big man pulled up Xiao Shuang's skirt.Xiao Shuang blushed, and quickly hid aside.Yanzi also stared at the big man.The big man was eight feet long, with a big knife pinned to his waist, and his face was full of beards, and he looked rough and sloppy.

"Hey, what a handsome chick!" The big man laughed, staring straight at the little Shuang Yanzi, facing the pedestrians on the street, without any shame.

"In public, you...you are simply shameless!" Yanzi was also impatient, blushing and yelling at the big man.

Changsheng protects Murong Zhaohui, he also embraces Xiaoshuang and Yanzi behind his back, and puts his hand on the sword at his waist.Seeing that the guards at the end of the street were about to come up, there was nothing to worry about.Seeing the situation, several guards hurried forward and surrounded the big man.After just a few strokes, the big man was beaten and fled. It seemed that he was just a hooligan pretending to be a martial artist.However, the mood of Xiaoshuang and Yanzi was affected along the way, and they were a little depressed, and they lost the mood of watching the excitement.

"Sister Xiaoshuang, don't be angry, let's go to the lake to drink tea."

Seeing Changsheng's comfort, Xiaoshuang replied: "Young Master Changsheng, Xiaoshuang is just a little upset, please worry about it. It's all over now."

"It's all my fault. If I didn't let the guards follow me, the big man wouldn't dare to go forward to provoke him." Murong Zhaohui sighed.

Hearing Murong Zhaohui blame himself, Xiao Shuang quickly waved his hands and said: "Dian...Mr. Mu, please don't say that! It was the fault of that scoundrel, how could you get him? That's fine..." Yanzi also said: "Yes, young master, that scoundrel is really annoying. He dares to touch women on the street. It's really dirty. It can only be said to be unlucky when he encounters it. It's hard to avoid it for a while. If you are not happy for a while, you don't have to worry about it, young master."

Under the veil, Murong Zhaohui couldn't see his expression clearly, and the breeze made his veil float, making him float like a fairy.

He said softly: "It's windy today, let's go to the lake to relax."

After the incident just now, all the plainclothes guards who had been following far away followed closely behind Murong Zhaohui, not daring to slack off in the slightest.A masked mysterious person, a handsome young man, and two beautiful girls, followed by a bunch of servants, who are stared at wherever they go, really eye-catching.Along the way, many martial arts people came to inquire about who they belonged to, and they wanted to make friends.Faced with these martial arts people, Chang Sheng had no choice but to explain one by one that they were just here for fun, not any martial arts sect.

There are many peach and pear trees planted by the lake, and they are blooming just right now. They look red, white and white, and they are really beautiful. From time to time, petals fall all the way with the wind, which is graceful and moving.The sharp-eyed Chang Sheng saw a milk doll holding a bunch of candied haws, and concluded that there must be vendors selling candied haws around.After telling Murong Zhaohui to go and come, he ran away without a trace.Murong Zhaohui and his entourage found a place to sit down in the tea shed by the lake. Just as the tea was served, Chang Sheng came running over with something like a pillar, which was filled with bunches of red fruits.

Yanzi laughed when he saw it: "Young Master Changsheng, you brought the entire candied haws stall here! The vendor must be very happy."

"Yeah, I'm afraid there are so many of us, it's not enough." Changsheng said while putting down the things, and handed the biggest one on top to Murong Zhaohui.Then he gave each of Xiaoshuang and Yanzi a bunch, and he took a bunch for himself, and gave the rest to the guards who followed, and the guards were flattered.

Xiao Shuang looked at the bunch of candied haws in his hand, and said, "This was my favorite food when I was young, but I haven't eaten it since entering the palace."

Murong Zhaohui looked at the things in his hand, hesitated for a while, saw that Changsheng was eating happily, so he took off the bamboo hat, and took a bite cautiously.The red one is sweet on the outside, but the fruit inside is sour, which feels wonderful.He had heard of candied haws from others, and he had seen them when he went out before, but this was the first time he ate them.Seeing Chang Sheng's happy appearance, Murong Zhaohui's mood improved a lot.

Back at the inn in the evening, the guard Jiang Ling also returned, waiting in the corridor of the room.Today he went out early in the morning with a few of his subordinates to inquire about news and traveled to many places.It is said that this martial arts conference will be held on land for three days, and the strong will be selected for a decisive battle on a huge flower boat three days later.During the decisive battle, the two sides signed a life and death certificate, and the flower boat would sail away from the shore and stop in Dongting Lake.The decisive battle was the most intense, because they were afraid that the government would intervene if there was a death, so the signing of the life and death certificate was carried out on the lake.

"How can I get on the boat to watch the battle?" Murong Zhaohui asked after hearing Jiang Ling's words.Since it is on a boat, not everyone can join in the fun.

"The winners of the martial arts competition can bring their family servants or brothers from the same sect on board, but the number is limited, and they can only bring no more than three people. There are also some relatively large sects, such as the Tang Sect and Qingcheng in the Shu area, The Jinsi School and Tianying Gang in Chudi receive invitations from the Wulin League every year. Whether they send their disciples to compete or not, they can board the boat to watch or participate in the battle. The Wulin League often sends out invitations to wealthy businessmen and local elites Famous people, invite them to board the boat. If they don’t meet the requirements and want to board the boat, each person can get on the boat as long as they can afford the silver.”

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, Murong Zhaohui nodded slightly. "Who is in charge of the affairs of the Wulin League now?"

"Bagua Sect. The martial arts of the Bagua Sect disciples are very strong, and they have won the championship in the martial arts conference for ten consecutive years. The rules set by the Jianghu are that the sect that wins the martial arts conference manages the affairs of the martial arts alliance, and determines the sects and the number of people invited each year. Actually There is another reason why the Bagua Sect is in charge of Wulin affairs. The Bagua Sect is located near Dongting, and it is the most convenient to manage Wulin affairs. Sects like Qingcheng are in Shu, and it is beyond their reach to manage Wulin affairs. Therefore, the Wulin League Another rule is that if a sect from other places wins the championship, several sects from Chu will cooperate to manage the Wulin League."

Murong Zhaohui nodded slightly, and Changsheng stared at Jiangling with his eyes shining.He wanted to compete with those martial artists, but he didn't know if Zhaohui would agree.

"One person...a thousand taels..." Murong Zhaohui pondered, "It is indeed too expensive, only wealthy businessmen can afford this price. Even the county magistrate's annual salary is only a few hundred taels..."

"His Royal Highness wants to watch the battle on a boat?"

Murong Zhaohui nodded.

"The few brothers under the humble staff are all good at martial arts. Why don't you let them go to the competition and win the qualification to board the ship, so naturally you don't have to spend so much money."

When Changsheng heard it, his eyes lit up: "Your Highness, I want to go too!"

"Jiangling, you choose the three hidden guards with the highest martial arts to go to the competition, remember not to be too showy."

Jiang Ling cupped his fists: "Yes, Your Highness!"

After Jiang Ling went out, only Murong Zhaohui and Chang Sheng were left in the room.Murong Zhaohui didn't mention the martial arts competition, but changed the subject: "Changsheng, it's getting dark. You must be hungry, let's go down to eat." After finishing speaking, he got up and picked up the bamboo hat that was on the table.

"Zhaohui..." Changsheng tugged on Murong Zhaohui's sleeve, and looked at him eagerly, his desire was beyond words.

"You are only fifteen, too young."

Changsheng refused to accept it: "It will be sixteen in a few days! A child from an ordinary family can be the head of the family at this age."

"There are some sects in the rivers and lakes with treacherous kung fu, some use poison and some use hidden weapons. It's no joke to accidentally get hurt."

"Didn't you say that life and death signs are only used in the competition on the flower boat? The competition on the ground will definitely not be too thrilling. Changsheng will be optimistic about the situation."

Chang Sheng looked into Murong Zhaohui's eyes with scorching eyes, without any intention of compromise.The two were deadlocked, and after a while, Murong Zhaohui sighed: "Go down to eat first, let me think about it."
