Tang Lianhua poured a glass of wine, handed it to Hua Bushi with both hands, and said: "Although there are many heroes and heroes in the world, Hua Gongzi is the person who Xiaomei admires the most.

Hua Bushi's reputation in the rivers and lakes can be described as extremely poor, everyone knows that the "evil dog boy" is greedy and lustful, ruthless, and does not know any martial arts, and there is really a big gap with the heroes.

Although the eldest young master was thick-skinned, after listening to Tang Lianhua's words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said: "Miss Lianhua is falsely praised, she has no virtue and talent, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, so it is really difficult to afford it." ”

Tang Lianhua said: "Hua Gongzi doesn't need to be too humble, and Lianhua is not a person who casually says good things." Nowadays, there are many people who claim to be heroes but have no name in the rivers and lakes, but in the eyes of Xiaomei, there are only a few real heroes and heroes, and Hua Gongzi is one of them. ”

This sentence held Hua Bushi even higher, and Chu Yiyi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but say: "Miss Tang's words are so beautiful, but I don't know what you know about my son-in-law, and what do you admire about him?"

Tang Lianhua's eyes turned, and she smiled and said, "Hua Gongzi has to drink this glass of wine first, and then Lianhua will tell you." ”

She smiled skillfully, her eyes were bent into willow leaves, she looked naughty and cute, but she had the delicacy of a girl, which was particularly moving.

Hua Bushi had no choice but to take the wine glass, put it to his lips and drank it all, and said, "Hua Bushi listens. ”

Tang Lianhua said: "The little sister first heard about Wanyi Island from the second uncle, and she was quite interested in Hua Gongzi, and she also inquired about the intelligence of Hua Gongzi and the 'Evil Dog Gate' over the years. Although before today, Lianhua had not seen Hua Gongzi himself, but from the sniping of Zhu Zhenyan in Wuyang City in Xiangjing, to Changsha City to fight against the 'Hengshan faction', and then to Wangwu Mountain in Yujing to crusade against the 'Rich Alliance', and the Jinan Mansion in Lujing to break the 'Tianhe Gang', every battle experienced by Hua Gongzi and his subordinates, the little sister knew it clearly. ”

Her pupils flashed: "In just a few years, the 'Evil Dog Sect' has developed into a sect comparable to 'Shaolin', 'Wudang' and my 'Shuzhong Tang Sect', I don't know who else in the world can do it, if Hua Gongzi can't be regarded as a hero, the heads of all the sects in the realm of Daming should probably die of shame!"

The "Evil Dog Gate" has expanded strongly in recent years, and there are many people on the rivers and lakes who are not jealous, afraid, or even hated of China, but they did not expect that there is such an admirer in the "Shuzhong Tang Gate".

Tang Lianhua sat next to Hua Bushi, not treating herself as an outsider at all, her demeanor was intimate, and she actually took the initiative to hold the arm of the eldest young master, which made Sima Rulan, who was sitting on the side, frown, and felt even more unhappy in her heart.

Not to mention that Tang Lianhua and Sima Rulan had their own thoughts during the banquet, at this time in the hall, the Ling Xiao Sword Debate was still going on.

The first four seats on the stone platform have been occupied, while the remaining four seats have become the target of several other gangs.

According to the strength of all parties, there is not much suspense in the ranking of the last four, and it is still in the order of last year, which is "Heshengmen", "Chujianghui", "Zhengdaomen" and "Qingfeng Yuan". "Evergreen Xuan" was born to occupy the first place, and "Wanlitang" also jumped from seventh to third, so that the rankings of other factions were postponed by one or two places, they thought about their strength, and they had to accept this result, but the "Tianxiang Society", which was originally ranked eighth, was about to fall out of the "Yanjing Eight Gates".

As for the other "Xiandu faction" that entered the capital this time, there was no sound from the beginning, whether it was the long-bearded old man Fan Dongli or the ugly woman, they did not raise a word of objection to the competition for the ranking of the various factions, nor did they show any intention of challenge. It seems that as the previous Steward Zou said, they came to Lingxiao Pavilion just to go through the motions, and they didn't have the strength to compete with other sects at all.

The "Xiandu faction" remained silent, but the "Tianxiang Society" was not willing to withdraw from Beijing.

The backstage of the "Tianxiang Society" is also the eunuch party shili, but there is no support from the "Central Plains Seven Major Sects", this time a middle-aged couple from the "Huangshan faction" was invited to help with boxing, husband Cui Lanzhou, and Mrs. Lin Caiping, known as "Lanping Shuangxia" in the martial arts, can also be regarded as a master of swordsmanship in the south of the Yangtze River.

And what they want to challenge is "Qingfeng Yuan".

Nie Zi, the guest invited by "Qingfeng Yuan", is a layman master of the "Putuo School", good at palming, and a "Rulai Qianye Hand" has been practiced to seven or eight points.

Cui Lanzhou challenged first, and fought fiercely with Nie Zi and the others for more than 50 moves, but failed to distinguish the winner, and then retired to replace his wife Lin Caiping.

This kind of wheel warfare method is not very fair, but Lin Caiping promised to let Nie Zi exercise to breathe, recover his strength and fight again, and Nie Zi also thought that Lin Caiping was a female streamer, and most of her swordsmanship was not as good as her husband Cui Lanzhou, so she accepted it.

However, the result was that Nie Zi entered the court, and he was defeated by Lin Caiping's sword in only ten moves.

It turned out that Cui Lanzhou fought with Nie Zi before, just to test the flaws in Nie Zi's martial arts, but Mrs. Lin Caiping was proficient in a fast sword technique, and was the best at seizing the flaws between the opponent's moves to attack by taking advantage of the gap.

Although he fell for the trick and was not very willing to lose, "Qingfeng Yuan" still had to give up his seat.

The ownership of the eight Taishi chairs on the stone platform has been seen, and seeing that no one stepped forward to challenge, Tang Wanfang walked to the front of the stage and said loudly: "This year, the ranking of the Lingxiao Sword Club has been decided, which are the chief 'Changqing Xuan', the second 'Longwei Martial Arts Hall', the third 'Wanli Hall', the fourth seat 'Jinyang Gate', the fifth seat 'Hesheng Gate', the sixth seat 'Chujiang Society', the seventh seat 'Zhengdao Gate', and the eighth seat 'Tianxiang Society'!"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Congratulations to the above eight factions for winning the honor of 'Yanjing Eight Gates', and the rest are invited to retire!"

The affairs of the rivers and lakes are that the winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, and the eight sects that have the ability to compete for the ranking can divide the territory and industry in the capital and make a lot of profits, while the loser does not even have the qualifications to stay in Lingxiao Pavilion, and will be swept away immediately.

But at this time, I only heard a leisurely voice coming from the south side of the hall: "We entered this Lingxiao Pavilion, we haven't eaten enough, and we haven't drunk two sips of wine, Boss Tang is going to drive us away, which is a bit excessive!"

The person who said this was the long-bearded old man Fan Dongli on the seat of the "Xiandu Sect". From the beginning of the Sword Discussion Meeting, to the masters of the various sects competing for seats, the "Xiandu Sect" was silent and did not say a word, and everyone did not take their small sect in their eyes, but they did not expect that at this time, this old man Fan said such a sentence.

Tang Wanfang said: "The ranking of the 'Yanjing Eight Gates' has been determined, and then the eight factions will discuss the division of the territory and industry in the city, and the rest must retreat, this is the established procedure of Ling Xiao's sword, Tang has announced it before, didn't Mr. Fan hear it clearly?"

That Fan Dongli sneered and said, "You said that the 'Yanjing Eight Gates' have been determined, have you ever asked the old man's opinion?

These words were very arrogant, and they came out of the mouth of the head of the "Xiandu faction" that everyone looked down on, and many people in the various gangs in the banquet hall immediately became noisy.

"What is the 'Immortal Capital Faction', I didn't dare to say anything just now, but now I am here to disturb it!"

"Didn't this old man take the wrong medicine and talk nonsense here?"

"His grandmother's, hurry up and get out, don't delay our 'Yanjing Eight Gates' deliberations!"

"That's right, get them out!"

Seeing that the hall was noisy, Tang Wanfang said loudly: "Everyone, don't be bored, please listen to me!"

After the noise was a little quieter, he said to the south: "Mr. Fan, does you have any objections to the arrangement of the 'Eight Gates of Yanjing'?"

Fan Dongli curled his beard and said: "A group of clowns who jump off the beam also dare to be arrogant, it is really ridiculous! Of course, the old man can't admit such a ranking." ”

His words are equivalent to degrading all the new "Yanjing Eight Gates" in it. The hall suddenly seemed to be boiling, especially the two brocade-clothed eunuchs on the seats of the "Jinyang Gate" had sharp voices and shouted loudly. The Cao family can't afford to be provoked, the "Shaolin faction" can't beat it, and they don't dare to offend Tang Lianhua, but what kind of green onion is this "Xiandu faction"?

I only heard Tang Wanfang say: "Since Mr. Fan thinks that the sects in this hall should not be the 'Eight Gates of Yanjing', why didn't he challenge it just now and compete for the ranking?"

Fan Donglian's gaze slanted, swept over the eight sect leaders sitting on the eight Taishi chairs on the stone platform, and said, "Is it that the people of this sect challenge the masters of these eight sects, and they have to give up their seats and can't stay in Beijing City?"

Tang Wanfang coughed lightly and said, "The ranking of this year's Ling Xiao Sword Discussion Club has already been agreed, but for the sake of seeing that your 'Immortal Capital Faction' is the first time to participate in this meeting, and if you don't know the regulations, this seat will give you another chance to challenge." If you can win, your faction will take the place of the loser, and if you fail, please ask Master Fan to leave the cabinet immediately with his subordinates!"

Fan Dongli smiled and said, "Okay, in this case, the old man would like to thank Mr. Tang for giving Benmen a chance to challenge." ”

He turned his gaze to the ugly woman next to him, and said, "Pei Niang, you go and let these ants know how powerful this sect is!"

The ugly woman claimed to be, snatched the boxwood stick from her feet, and took it in her hand, and walked into the hall.

Sitting on the chair, I didn't feel too much, at this time, this ugly woman called Pei Niang came out, and only then did she show that she was very tall, more than seven feet, with broad shoulders and thick back, and thick waist and legs.
