Chapter 697: Deliberately stuttering

Guan Xiangming shouted: "Who?" Hundreds of Wudang disciples had already raised their swords together, and in an instant, they surrounded several gold-clothed men behind them.

Guan Xiangming turned his head and saw that Xiao Han and the others had already opened, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said viciously to those gold-clothed people: "You are Jinfeng Hall people?"

Among the several men, a big man stood up and arched his hand at him: "Zhao Guofang, the silver helmsman of the Golden Wind Hall, has seen the master of the Guan Hall. With a wave of his hand, six gold-clothed men came over with a box and put it in front of Guan Xiangming.

The Wudang disciples looked at them coldly, Guan Xiangming saw that their faces didn't look like they were provoking, and seeing that Zhao Guofang's attitude was extremely respectful, he immediately eased his face and said: "Aren't you in the Central Plains? How can you come to Jiangnan?" Zhao Guofang smiled and said: "My master Xie heard about the wedding of Xiao Zongshou, and he wanted to come to congratulate him in person, but he was afraid of inconvenience, so he specially sent me and others to give a thin gift, and asked the hall master to smile." ”

Guan Xiangming was a little dumbfounded, not knowing whether to accept it or not, and the Xuansong helmsman next to him, Xiping, said: "Since we came to congratulate, we will accept it." ”

Guan Xiangming nodded and said, "That being the case, the hall master thanked the hall master Xie on behalf of Sect Chief Xiao. The two gave each other hands, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then parted. The disciples of Jinfeng Hall disappeared by the river led by Zhao Guofang, and Guan Xiang Ming ordered several disciples to open the box and inspect it, which was nothing more than some gold and silver jewelry, and three precious jade hairpins, on which the names of Li Yueying, Chai Xinyue, and Murong Qiuyu were engraved with seal characters as thin as hair.

The Wudang disciples looked at each other and smiled, they didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to be so interested in giving a gift, and the disciples laughed and carried the box and began to chase the team.

After walking less than five miles, I saw that there was a black pressure in front of me, and the team was so tightly blocked that I couldn't move forward. Xiao Han had already gotten off his horse and greeted the high-ranking officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty who came to greet him one by one, Li Yueying, Chai Xinyue, Murong Qiuyu and a group of female dependents were escorted by the female officials in the palace and Feng Zicai, the envoy of Zuo Shenwu's army, to enter the city first.

Xiao Han laughed and talked with Yang Shu, Xue Jian and the commanders of Zhuzhou for a long time, ate a few glasses of wine, and exchanged a few words with the official of Zhuzhou Mansion.

Zhang Quanyue told him that the emperor had led the three princesses back to the palace, and told all the Wudang factions to arrange for them to live in the original palace of King Zheng.

Xiao Han was willing to agree, Zheng Wang's Mansion was originally Li Congshan's mansion, and now although it is no longer inhabited, no one dares to live there. Neitu Shoufu Yan continued to come over and read out the emperor's edict, stating that everyone in the Wudang faction should follow the customs of the countryside and not violate the holy order.

Xiao Han was led by Xue Dingfang to lead the people of Wudang to live in King Zheng's mansion. Chu Tianshu was solely responsible for arranging the rest of the affairs, and Nantang sent two teams of forbidden troops to surround the entire mansion like an iron bucket.

After everything was arranged, it was already dark, and the imperial kitchen that had been arranged in King Zheng's mansion generally sent exquisite meals, and the Wudang people had a full meal, talked and laughed for a while, and then went back to their residences to rest.

Ye Zixuan, Hao Yufei, Sunan Xing, Sun Xuehui and others were also invited into the palace, and King Zheng's Mansion is now a big man except for the maid and the servant. Everyone was tired from hurrying for days, Old Man Bai, Sima An, and the master of the hall went back to rest after greeting Xiao Han to say goodbye, and only the four brothers of the crane in the valley were left by Xiao Han to speak.

Jinling City was indeed as Xue Dingfang said before, and the people heard that the horses lived in King Zheng's mansion, and they came to watch, but they were dispersed by the guards and forbidden troops.

Xiao Han chatted with the four brothers for a while, and the four of them felt strange when they talked about the congratulatory gifts given by the White Lotus Sect today. Only Xiao Han knew that this was the White Lotus Sect's gesture to show him sincerity, and a box of gold, silver, and jewelry was worth thousands of yuan, and he didn't care about it.

However, this matter is definitely good news for Xiao Han, and Xiao Han is just taking advantage of this to do something. Xiao Han immediately wrote a letter to Jiangdong Pavilion and asked him to go out of the city overnight to find Zhao Guofang to express the gratitude of the Wudang faction.

Jiang Dongge had never said much, and after receiving the letter, he left the city. Xiao Han suddenly thought of something, and said to the three brothers with some embarrassment: "I am so busy that I forgot to inform you of my uncle." ”

Duan Xiliu said happily: "Senior Brother Xiao is getting busier and busier, so naturally he can't take care of these mundane things, but fortunately, Miss Murong and Miss Ye remembered that they had already sent someone to inform the four sects and the previous gangs to come to participate in the celebration, and it is estimated that they should also arrive." ”

Luo Beihong followed: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Emei will send Master Sun and they won't be able to catch up for a while." Xiao Han said coldly: "It's better if they don't come." The three brothers were dumbfounded, and looked at him at the same time. Gu Zhonghe said: "Senior Sister Li is the princess of the official family after all, and it is estimated that Elder Xingkong will have some scruples and inconvenience to come." ”

Xiao Han snorted: "I didn't want to call them in the first place, as long as we invite Uncle Diao and Uncle Lan, we don't need to trouble others in our own affairs." ”

The three brothers looked at each other silently, although they knew that Xiao Han was dissatisfied with Emei and Shaolin, but they didn't expect him to speak so bluntly. There was also a Burning Heaven God Sect that didn't even mention it, Luo Beihong originally wanted to ask Tu Yuxuan and them to come and see the excitement, but he didn't dare to continue.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull for a while, Xiao Han looked embarrassed at the three brothers, and realized that some of his words just now were too hard, and just wanted to say a few jokes to relieve it, he saw a forbidden soldier hurriedly come and said: "Report to Master Ma, there are dozens of people from outside the mansion, all wearing Wudang uniforms, saying that they are here to meet you." ”

Xiao Han was stunned and said, "Have they signed up?" The forbidden army bowed and said: "There are a few leaders who are called Xi Ziming, Wang Yi, Bai Shuxi, Qi Xinyi, and Fu Qiuya." ”

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Han said happily: "Hurry up and invite them in." The three Gu Zhonghe brothers also smiled, got up together and said, "It turns out that it is the head of the Wudang faction, we also have to go back to sleep, and we have to have a busy day tomorrow." ”

Xiao Han laughed and sent them out, and then the forbidden soldiers led them to the gate of the mansion to greet everyone. Sure enough, it was the leaders of garment factories and supermarkets stationed in various places, including the heads of various gangs and factions who had previously been diverted to Tokyo, Jinling, Chengdu, and Panyu.

More than 20 people entered the mansion after visiting Xiao Han, and it was needless to say that it was lively. The heads of the departments took out the gift list in advance and presented it, and they were immediately reprimanded by Xiao Han. Who knew that Qi Xinyi and Fu Qiuya were not afraid of him, but instead reprimanded him with a straight face, Xiao Han looked at their earnest eyes, and was also afraid of hurting the hearts of his brothers, although he knew that they were still spending their own money, but he was still very moved by this heart.

In the past, the White Lotus Sect deliberately stammered, but now although these people are their brothers, they also have the intention of showing favor to him. In particular, the gangs that have been diverted out are more urgent, these people have begun to taste the wonders of peaceful life, and they have also tasted the benefits of doing business, and they are no longer willing to live the same days of killing as before.

Qi Xinyi's Peach Blossom Gang and Guanyin Nunnery's two gang disciples have been married in the past few months, because they are good-looking, and the two are extremely protective of their shortcomings, so most of them are married well.

Because these gangs have broken away from the rivers and lakes and are subject to the jurisdiction of various departments of the Wudang faction, most of them wore the clothes of the outer disciples of the Wudang faction this time, which is also a disguised proof of the success of Xiao Han's differentiation strategy.

Xiao Han looked at the gift list, and found that most of them were local specialties such as gold, jade, pearls, and emeralds, and there was nothing new about it, thinking that the inside and outside of the pot were his own, and it was good to distribute them after the wedding, so he immediately called Chu Tianshu to come over and count and accept them.

Everyone naturally lived in the mansion that night, everyone gathered from all directions, and lived in the palace for the first time, they were all very excited, and they didn't feel sleepy at all, so that Xiao Han couldn't sleep, and they chatted until they were ugly.

When he got up early the next morning, as soon as everyone had gathered together after dinner, he saw several soldiers of the forbidden army coming over to tell him that the officials and generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty had gathered outside the door, and asked him if he had seen them.

Xiao Han naturally didn't offend them, and immediately took the five hall masters out to greet them, and as soon as he came out of the door, he was startled, only to see a long street blocked by water, and all kinds of red, green, and green official uniforms surrounded King Zheng's mansion tightly, and the forbidden soldiers in charge of guarding were so nervous that they were nervous to death.

Xiao Han saw a general in a big red robe standing in front of him at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "I don't know that Minister Ge is here, and he will be a capital crime." ”

The person who came was Ge Shaofeng, the Minister of Supervision of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was originally the commander of Qianlong, and although the two met rarely, they were quite close to each other. Ge Shaofeng also had his help to get the position of Minister of Supervision, and when he saw Xiao Han politely, he hurriedly replied: "The master of the horse is polite, it was inconvenient for people and horses to visit last night, and today it was late, and the horse went out of the house to greet him, so I really dare not be." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Han looked at the black crowd and said softly: "Is it so blatant to bribe this concubine, Minister Ge doesn't care?"

Ge Shaofeng laughed and said: "The emperor said that this wedding between the concubine and the princess, no matter how deliberately the officials of the various ministries try to talk to the headquarters, they will not be asked. ”

Xiao Han nodded and said, "Am I called taking bribes by order?" The two looked at each other and laughed. followed the big and small officials who stepped forward one after another, and squeezed in hundreds of senior generals in the army, squeezing those civilian officials one by one.

Not to be outdone, the civil officials were sharp-tongued and scolded. The military attachΓ©s would not take them seriously and immediately started fighting. There was a mess at the gate of the mansion, and the soldiers of the forbidden army couldn't look at them with tears and laughter, they wanted to persuade but didn't dare, they just looked at Xiao Han and Ge Shaofeng.

Ge Shaofeng was born in the army, and he has always disliked to be with civilian officials, but at this time, seeing the civilian officials being beaten, he turned his head to Xiao Han and said, "How about we talk when we enter the mansion?"

Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, civil and military discord has always been a taboo in the court, if the emperor knows that Minister Ge sits idly by, he can't say that he will eat and hang." ”

Ge Shaofeng woke up like a dream, and hurriedly shouted to the forbidden soldiers: "Are you all dead people? Why don't you tear them apart?" The forbidden soldiers rushed forward and separated the civil and military officials who were fighting fiercely.

was making a lot of noise, and then I heard a commotion at the corner of the street, and then I saw a group of forbidden army soldiers shouting and opening the way in front, followed by dozens of carriages, with the banner of the Wudang faction planted on them, and dozens of Wudang outer disciples escorted them inside.
