There was nothing on the nave except for two rows of square wooden pillars, not even a chair or a screen, clean and solemn, and when the sun came in seven or eight feet away, it was pressed to the ground, and a faint silver ash was thrown out.

Although Chang Sihao came here once last night, he still has an unfathomable feeling when he steps on the smooth black marble floor with his feet as smooth as a mirror, looking at everything in this hall.

At this time, some people have gathered in the hall, and the Hundred Swords Alliance is still green, so everyone is dressed in green clothes, but the color is different, they are all hanging their hands and standing apart, standing silent, no one makes a sound,

Lord Zheng Meng and Chang Sihao came to the top to stand still, and introduced with a smile: "Everyone, do you recognize this young talent in front of you, he is Chang Sihao who led a hundred horsemen to charge the camp outside Datong City a few months ago and repelled Altan Khan,"

There was a sigh in the hall,

Chang Sihao saw that there was no lack of surprise in everyone's eyes, but they obviously already knew about themselves, and their expressions seemed to be more, confirming the person in front of them and the name in their hearts.

Zheng Mengzhu took the lead with his left hand and led it to a person beside him: "Xiao Chang, this is the prime minister of our league."

The man was not very tall, with a middle and lower figure, a little fat, he seemed to be older than Zheng Mengzhu, there were more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his eyes were very large, his nose looked small, and he had a short beard on his lips.

Jing Wen smiled: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have to be polite, the little girl is naughty, and you take care of her in many ways, I should thank you a lot," Chang Sihao said: "Miss Jing is very smart and very good at taking care of herself, and I haven't done anything for her," Zheng Mengzhu smiled: "The family doesn't talk to the two families, and there are more politeness, and it will be born," and introduced it from the three chiefs in turn, Tong Zhiyi, the chief of the Xuanbu Department, is the oldest, and he is afraid that he is seventy years away from his appearance, his hair is gray, and his calm gaze seems to be able to see through people's hearts, which makes people look at it immediately, Zheng Mengzhu smiled: " Xiao Chang, don't look at Mr. Tong's long hair is gray, he is tired, the management of the Xuanbu is the business of our league everywhere, there are many accounts, it is not easy to take care of, economic money is the first major thing in organizing gang operations, our league can be so prosperous now, Mr. Tong can be regarded as a hard worker,"

Tong Zhiyi smiled faintly: "The leader of the alliance has a good reputation, the old man's hair is gray, which is tired, but he has not practiced the qi cultivation kung fu at home, although the Xuanbu is busy, but the swords see that the old man is not energetic, and they all help each other, and share a lot of worries for the old man, how dare the old man be greedy for the merits of the sky," Zheng Meng Master smiled: "Tong Lao doesn't have to be too humble," Tong Zhiyi said: "If you talk about the operation of money and grain, who can compare to the Qin family in Shanxi back then, the old lady Qin is idle and takes care of it, but the wealth is rolling, then it is called a good business, but it is not like me who is busy jumping all day long,"

Chang Sihao thought to himself: "The Qin family is in decline and suffered a catastrophe, the weather is not as good as before, you praise Qin Langchuan for doing business so well, don't you imply that the Qin family has no successor," he felt that it was a little difficult to answer, so he had to be silent,

Tong Zhiyi looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "How old is the old man, I can't help but feel nostalgic, after the Qin family was robbed, the old man hopes that among the younger generations, someone can come out to reorganize the mountains and rivers, so that the Qin family will be prosperous again, Chang Shaojian must not worry too much,"

Chang Sihao's heart jumped slightly, thinking that this Chief Tong was really powerful, what he was thinking in his heart, he could actually guess it, and said busily: "No, no, I have heard Jue Xiang say that the Hundred Swords Alliance and the Qin family are mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial and have always been good allies, if something happens to one party, the other party will never sit on the wall and watch, just look at jokes, I believe that we will have more and deeper contacts in the future,"

Master Zheng Meng laughed and continued to introduce: "The Yuan Department has always been responsible for the operations and defense affairs of our alliance, Chief Luo has profound internal skills, excellent swordsmanship, needless to say in terms of martial arts, in addition, he also got the news before I answered the siege of Beijing in the year of Gengxu, and went west with a sword, assassinated in the army of ten thousand horses, and killed several enemy generals, you two have similar experiences, and you must be very talkative,"

Luo Chengyuan's body is eight feet away, he has heavy eyebrows and high cheeks, his complexion is like steamed buns on hot noodles, his skin is shining, with a hard gelatinity inside, the wrinkles at the wings of his nose are deep, the lines between the veins are as resolute as a knife and an axe, with a sense of pride, looking at Chang Sihao and smiling: "It's all seventeen or eighteen years old, don't mention it, the hatred between the two countries is frozen for three feet, how can it be solved by killing one or two heads, I was young and brave at that time, I was simple to consider, and it was ridiculous to say,"

Chang Sihao thought to himself: "If it weren't for the night conversation between me and Zheng Mengzhu yesterday, I would definitely feel disappretaken when I heard these words today," nodded and said: " What Chief Luo said is that the eldest husband will draw a knife on the spot, at the expense of his own life, the picture is a righteous thing, brave is brave, but more is reckless, unsuccessful is the blood in vain, successful, it is also useless in major matters, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is weakened, which makes foreign tribes invade each other repeatedly, if this body of blood and courage is used to settle the people and raise wealth, when my China is strong, how dare those people and Tartars face up to the Southern Dynasty,"

"Well said," a person next to Luo Chengyuan patted his stomach and smiled: "People, how high you really stand, how wide your field of vision is, Chang Shaojian is often by the side of Old Lady Qin, although he is young, this vision is not low," said and reviewed the swords, everyone nodded yes, Chang Sihao saw that he was about the same age as the Lord of Zheng Meng, his body was slightly fat, his small eyes were smiling, and he felt a little close at a glance, and thought: "I said this thing, I just figured it out, and it can only be regarded as learning and selling now," secretly ashamed,

Zheng Mengzhu said with a smile: "Chief Jiang is responsible for the foreign affairs of our alliance, you have to be more close and closer, in the future, our two families will come and go, and you will not be able to fight in this deal," the man smiled: "My name is Jiang Shiyou, I am familiar with one, and I don't need to introduce more, in short, Chang Shaojian only needs to remember that when you come to my league, you can come to me for food and drink,"

Chang Sihao smiled and said yes, he had met with the three chiefs, and he didn't think they had any shelf, as unattainable as Jing Lingyu said, but he felt that there was a kind of familiarity in the strangeness, and they were all as cordial as Zheng Meng's master, and then introduced the swordsmen under each department, there were many people, and more than 20 people gave their hands one by one, he tried his best to remember his name, and returned the salute in turn,

Master Zheng only briefly introduced the rest of the people, and did not introduce them in detail, and finally said: "Okay, it's not early, let's start,"

He succinctly announced the start of the morning meeting, and sent an inquiring look to everyone, Chang Sihao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw it, he didn't expect that everyone in this hall of the Hundred Swords League held a meeting Everyone was actually standing, including the lord of the First Alliance, not even a chair and stool, at this time, he was standing beside the Lord of the Zheng League, covered by everyone's eyes, he couldn't help but feel cramped, and felt very inappropriate, thinking of this, his body retreated to the side and back, keeping a just right distance from him, thinking about the "Records of the Sword Cultivation Hall" The stolen thing, his eyes swept the faces of these swordsmen, and he thought: "Which of these people is a traitor?"

Zhu Jian thought that the alliance leader brought Chang Sihao to the middle hall to introduce acquaintance to everyone, but at this time there was no intention to let him out, obviously to also participate in the internal affairs of the alliance, did not treat him as an outsider, the general practice of the Hundred Swords Alliance is that no matter what the status of the guests is, they are only received in the front of the palace, they glanced at each other, and seemed to feel that the favor of the Zheng League Lord to him was unusual,

Seeing their hesitation and hesitation, the lord of the Zheng League said: "The aspirants cherish the year, the sages cherish the sun, our league and the league, there are a lot of things up and down, and there is no delay for half a minute, Xiao Chang is not an outsider, let's hurry up and say,"

The swords exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and someone in the first department came out: "The leader of the alliance, the news from this morning, the head of the Taishan faction, Mo Ye, died of illness at the moment before yesterday, and his son Guan Yiyan has already taken over the position of head of the house at the time of the day, and it is expected that the funeral messenger will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and his subordinates have already decided in advance the candidates for going out to mourn and the amount of gift money, please make a decision on the alliance leader," he said, took out a piece of paper from his arms and presented it,

Chang Sihao heard the name "Guan Yiyan" and felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered, what kind of "gentleman" is this person, Qin Langchuan once mentioned him at the same time, he didn't say it at the time, and he didn't care, it turned out that he was the son of the head of the Taishan faction,

Lord Zheng took it, glanced at it, but didn't speak, and handed his gaze to Jiang Shiyou, the head of the first department, knowing that he could be the master of this matter, and now his subordinates have crossed over to ask for instructions directly from him, obviously the opinions below have not been unified,

Sure enough, Jiang Shiyou came out and said: "Alliance Master, the general direction of this matter has been clarified, but the details need to be discussed, so the final decision has not been made,"

Lord Zheng Meng motioned for him to continue with his gaze, and Jiang Shiyou said: " Guan Yiyan is arrogant, although his father is in charge of the Taishan portal, but he is only a famous man of one side, he is not very old, but everywhere he is a young swordsman, and there is a mother to protect, Guan Mo Ye is helpless, his father and son are not harmonious things on the rivers and lakes, after the death of the head of the family, Guan Yiyan only took over the position of the head of the house in less than two hours, this matter is very strange and suspicious, should send someone to visit to understand, and condolences is the best time, subordinates think that one person should be selected among the swordsmen to take on this position, and Wu Gongjie selected Longxi hero Zhao Yang Although he is a person, he can be regarded as a shrewd and capable person, but after all, the identity and martial arts are low, if you really find out the problem, there was a conflict, but I was afraid that I couldn't suppress it,"

Wu Gongjie, who was listed earlier, said: " The leader of the alliance, the difference between his subordinates and General Jiang lies in this, although the Wuyue Sword Sect is under the command of our alliance, but it is still autonomous, and there is not too much interference in the management level, the subordinates think that it is not important how Guan Yiqian obtained the position of the head of the house, the important thing is how he will treat our alliance after he succeeds him, and now Juhao Pavilion is looking forward to what chaos we have in the south, once the trouble will start, they will take the opportunity to go north, and the rivers and lakes will be stormy together, and our entire deployment will be disrupted, so Guan Yiqian should also be appeased, the identity of the person we went to this time is too high, and there is pressure on him, Zhao Yang has done a lot of things under my seat, and his subordinates think, he's up to the task,"

Jing asked: "Alliance leader, what Chief Jiang and Wu Gongjie said makes sense, we are grasping the major affairs of the court these days, and the rivers and lakes are a little careless, I mean, the timing is really not right now, so we can't force Guan Yiyan too quickly, but the matter must be investigated, the cause of death of the head of the family must be clarified, and the evidence must be grasped in hand, once the Taishan faction wants to pack in the future, this is the best plaster,"

Lord Zheng looked down at the paper in his hand and pondered for a moment, and said: "I also hope that there will be no clouds and sunny days, but if it is really windy and rainy, it can't be stopped, if the calm is only maintained on the surface, it is meaningless, and there must be a limit to the power.

A swordsman from the beginning came out of the ranks, looking at the face of thirty-five or sixteen years old, handsome and handsome, and his bearing was superior, he responded loudly: "The subordinates are here,"

Zheng Meng said: "The trip to Mount Tai is going to bother you, be careful to investigate, act cheaply, there are still two elders in the Taishan faction alive, don't be rude, as much as possible, it is better to leave it to its internal solution, you don't have to wait for them to send someone to report the funeral, go down now and prepare to leave," Jiang Zhao responded and said: "Yes," turned around and walked out of the hall,

At this time, the outsiders of the hall showed that there was a message to spread, and the lord of the Zheng League agreed, and a warrior entered the hall, walked to the side of a swordsman in the Xuanbu and whispered a few words, and the swordsman hurriedly came out and said: "The leader of the alliance," the lord of the Zheng League signaled him to continue, and the swordsman was about to open his mouth, as if he felt that he was in trouble, so he waved at the samurai who had just entered the hall, and the samurai stepped up and said: " Subordinate Shao Fang, in charge of Yishulou, recently several teahouses around us have changed hands, and the people who came forward to buy are all people under Xu Sangongzi, which is also normal, but the people below heard that they bought them not to operate, but to change them into prostitution brothels. The materials have arrived one after another, and the construction has begun, we rely on the book building is one of the best teahouses in Beijing, the guests come to taste tea and chat with the picture is the quiet and scholarly atmosphere, if it is surrounded by several brothels, I am afraid that it will be very inappropriate, and the subordinates ponder that the third prince is the son of Xu Ge after all, and the number of etiquette can not thin him, so he personally brought people over to negotiate, Xu Sangongzi received him alive and dead, but said that he had the final say on what his property was going to do, and said that he had planned to buy the book building, but he saw that it was the industry of the Hundred Swords League, so he didn't make a move, which was already given to the league......”

The Xuanbu swordsman from before was furious and interrupted: "Alliance leader, Xu Xiaosan has been working hard these days, and there are still a few people in my industry who have reported similar incidents, we can't get used to him," When he spoke, the half-palm-length short beard root was erected, the eyebrows were round, and he had a fierce appearance, after being introduced by Zheng Mengzhu just now, Chang Sihao vaguely remembered that this person's surname was famous, and the word Gonglie, thinking that this person looked like he was in his forties, and his temper was explosive enough, that Xu Sangongzi I also saw it in Koufuju, a chubby official and rich child, and he was polite when he saw Shen Chumu, you were so annoyed with him, it was nothing more than being robbed of business, so meaningless,

"Gonglie don't be impatient," Tong Zhi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a slight wave of his hand, Shao Fang waved back,

He stroked his beard slightly, turned around and said, " Alliance leader, now the wind direction is indeed a little wrong, after the high arch stepped down, although Xu Ge Lao is still harmonious on the surface, did not move us, but that is concerned about his own life, I don't know the foundation of our alliance, Yan Song is he fought down, the first emperor's edict was drafted by him, long live today is he to help the seat, in the first half of the year he squeezed away the high arch, in September and Guo Pu Zhishi, now in the cabinet Li Chunfang is his tail, Zhang Ju is his protégé, the cronies of the various departments are installed in countless numbers, in the court can be regarded as a hand to cover the sky, no one can resist, he sits firmly in this regard, he has the energy to invest elsewhere, the situation is very different, ”

Luo Chengyuan also said: "Yes, in the past, the power was in their hands, but the life was in our hands, everyone was safe, and they could maintain a delicate balance, but according to the report of my Yuanbu eyeliner, this time Xu Ge Lao did not break off the group of capable people in private, and saw that after Gao Gong went, our alliance has not moved, maybe I think we are also afraid of him, Xu Sangongzi did this thing normally and said that he was arrogant, but prudently speaking, it will not be a temptation under the instruction of Xu Ge Lao,"

Gao Yang said: "Alliance leader, the situation is already there, the first strike is stronger,"

Some of the swords responded and supported, some thought silently, some handed over and discussed, and there was a slight uproar in the hall.

Chang Sihao pondered: "It's too chaotic in this capital, it's Dongchang, it's the old man, it's the official, there are many forces, the chicken has the ability of the chicken, the dog has the ability of the dog, this Xu Ge Lao is the first assistant today, the first important minister before the emperor, if he makes a move, can the Hundred Swords Alliance really deal with it?"
