Chapter 209

"Brother Qian is right!" Pan Zhaoxin apparently heard the conversation between Xue Chang and Qian Fuzhi, and he interjected loudly: "I think it is the most wise decision for the imperial court to locate the Iron Blood Changhe Gate in Jiangling! In the past, we Jinghu Wulin is regarded as a joke by Wulin people in other regions, and it will never be done again in the future... Uh, leader Han and leader Xue, we have to hurry up, old leader Fei and other brothers in the gang have already arrived, I'm afraid They are anxiously waiting for us in the Jagged Changhemen garrison."

After hearing this, of course everyone quickened their pace, and a group of dozens of people hurried on their way.With so many people carrying weapons rushing through the port area of ​​Jiangling City, if a patrol team would have come to inquire about it in normal times, it would have even attracted the officers of the Military Patrol Division to interrogate them. , let them pass through the city gate without much questioning, and Pan Zhaoxin led the crowd straight to the center of Jiangling's inner city.

After listening to Pan Zhaoxin’s introduction, Han Yeqiu, Xue Chang and the others knew that after the iron-blooded Changhemen returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court classified a large piece of land [-] miles west of Jiangling City as the land gift of the Iron-blooded Changhemen, but there were mostly farmland and no land. In the town, the lodging of dozens of people from Jagged Changhe urgently needs to be resolved. Originally, they planned to buy a house near Jiangling City as a temporary rest, but Bian Jinlin, the commander of the Xiangyang Martial Arts Division, had already obtained the consent of the General Patrol Martial Division, and forcibly moved the Jiangling City A large mansion belonging to the Xun Wusi was presented to Iron Blood Changhemen.

This mansion used to be the yamen of the Jinghu Martial Arts Officer, but since the head of the Wudang School, Qingsong Daoist, became a national protector, he often complained to the Martial Officer, "There are too many internal affairs in my own faction, and the Jiangling Martial Officer is too far away to participate in time." The meeting..." and was absent many times on this ground, which eventually led to the military inspector having to move to Xiangyang, and the original yamen just became a station for the inspectors in the south of Jinghu Lake.

Iron Blood Changhemen wanted to decline at first, but the location of this house is too good and the facilities are too complete. It may take several years for Iron Blood Changhe to build such a house, and it may not be possible to find such a good house. Therefore, he finally accepted Commander Bian Jinlin's kindness and paid some taels of silver symbolically.

"Here we are." Pan Zhaoxin stopped after walking around a street.

In front of him is a wide avenue. On the opposite side of this [-]-foot-long avenue, there is only one house with a towering wall and a magnificent gate. The huge plaque on it: Iron Blood Changhe Gate.

Just as Pan Zhaoxin led the crowd towards the gate, the iron-blooded Changhemen disciples who were guarding the gate also saw them, and soon someone greeted them, and the one walking in front was actually Shangguan Yi, who cupped his hands with a smile on his face Said: "Pan Tuozhu, you are late, Fei Gangzhu is very angry, and said that he will punish you properly, you must be mentally prepared."

"How can you blame me? Our division is already far away from Jiangling, plus there are a lot of bad things in Wudang... Oh, let's not talk about it." Pan Zhaoxin waved his hand and said loudly: "Anyway, Chief Fei said he would punish me , It’s just pouring me a few more bowls of water and wine, I’m not afraid of that, when it comes to drinking, my Xiangyang sub-helm is the strongest in the gang, isn’t it, brothers?”

"Yes!!" A group of men behind him responded in unison.

Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "We don't have water and wine here, only good wine, I will keep you drunk enough and drunk. Junior Brother Gong, please take Master Pan Duo and these brothers to the courtyard where the Dongting Water Gang lives."

A man in his 30s stepped forward and said, "Master Pan, please follow me."

"I'm talking about Brother Shangguan, this is from the Flying Fish Gang—"

Before Pan Zhaoxin left, he was going to introduce Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi laughed and said: "They are old acquaintances with Iron Blood Changhe Gate, Master Pan, you can go to the mansion to accept punishment without worry."

Pan Zhaoxin laughed and cursed, and led his men into the mansion.

Shangguan Yi complained to Han Yeqiu and the others: "Brother Han, Brother Qian, Brother Guo, why did you come here? You made us wait so hard."

Han Yeqiu replied in surprise: "There should be two days left before the sect master's coming-of-age ceremony. We are not too late."

Shangguan Yi explained: "Uncle Luo and the others originally hoped that you would come earlier. Wouldn't it be fun for everyone to drink good wine, eat delicious food, and talk about the past every day! When we were in Bashu, we were grateful for your care, and we wanted to treat you well." , you are lucky to arrive so late!"

Han Yeqiu wanted to explain again, but Guo Huaishou immediately interjected, "We're all a family, Brother Shangguan, you don't have to be so polite."

Shangguan Yi said with a stern face: "You should be polite. Anyway, you are here, and if you don't stay for a few days, we won't let you go!"

Then, he smiled again: "Speaking of this family, I heard that your Flying Fish Gang and Brother Xue have become a family now."

Han Yeqiu immediately said seriously: "It's also thanks to the Jagged Changhemen that our Flying Fish Gang and the Xiaoyao faction are congenial and have formed an alliance."

Shangguan Yi looked at Xue Chang, and said teasingly: "I said, little brother Xue, you have seen me for so long, and you didn't take the initiative to come over to say hello. It's different when you become the master."

Knowing his character, Xue Chang also jokingly said, "I mainly didn't expect Brother Xue to be a concierge, and he acted decently, so I didn't recognize him for a while."

"Bullshit! What concierge? I'm in charge of welcoming guests." Shangguan Yi scolded, and then said with a bitter face: "But you are right about this. Since arriving in Jiangling, I have suffered much more than before. Uncle Shi and the others ordered them to come and go, to do some chores, and they never had a good time to rest."

"This is a good thing. It shows that Senior Ye and the others want to take a heavy responsibility on you, Brother Shangguan." Han Yeqiu said with empathy.

"I don't want to take on any heavy responsibilities, I just want to live a free life." Shangguan Yi sighed, looked at Xue Chang, and said in a deep voice: "After your boy said goodbye to us in Rongzhou, you will go back quietly. Passed the school assessment and founded the Xiaoyao faction, we were all surprised when we heard the news, tell me honestly, did you hide your strength when you were with us?"

"Of course not." Xue Chang said solemnly: "The main reason is that I have outstanding talent, my martial arts is advanced, and I am making rapid progress."

"Fart!" Shangguan Yi scolded with a smile: "Being the head of the sect will put your tail in the sky. Let's make gestures some other day so that you can know who is the real talent."

Xue Chang immediately took up the conversation: "No problem, but if anyone loses, he has to promise the other party one thing."

"Okay..." Shangguan Yi was about to agree, but seeing Han Yeqiu and the others looked weird, he changed his mind sharply, and immediately changed his words: "Nowadays, there are many guests in the house, and the fights and quarrels affect the celebration. The master and master They will all be dissatisfied, let's find time to compare the winners and losers later."

Before Xue Chang could reply, he walked behind him with a smile on his face: "Little guys, do you still remember me?"

Although Shangguan Yi hadn't stayed in Xue's residence for long, Xu Xi, Fan Mastiff, and Hu Qiudi were deeply impressed by this iron-blooded Changhe family member who loved to drink and had no airs, and they all came forward to salute and say hello.

Xue Yuting was no longer the naive little girl who stayed at home a year ago, but when she saw Shangguan Yi and remembered her fantasies at that time, she still couldn't help but blushed and said in a low voice, "Hello, Uncle Shangguan."

Shangguan Yi didn't care about Xue Yuting's strangeness, looked around, and said loudly: "Let's stop standing at the door stupidly, come in with me to settle down first, we have plenty of time to chat."

A group of people followed him into the station of Iron Blood Changhe Gate.

After stepping through the gate, you can see a huge stone screen wall, on which is carved the battle of Xiangyang.

Shangguan Yi stopped, pointed at the screen wall and said: "My master said that this scene is somewhat similar to the scene at that time, look at this one—"

Shangguan Yi pointed to an unarmored man with a short beard on the left side of the screen, who was shouting loudly and rushing towards the northern barbarian army outside the city with his bare hands, and said in a deep voice: "It should be the old sect master, and behind him is a The person with the flag is my master."

Han Yeqiu leaned closer and took a closer look, then pointed to several boats docked at the bottom of the screen, and said solemnly: "My father should be among the people on this boat!"

Shangguan Yi went on to say: "The first commander of the Xiangyang Military Patrol Division was my iron-blooded Changhemen. At that time, he hired the most famous sculptor in the Jinghu area to carve this painting... The current patrol commander wants to transfer this house to We, at the beginning, everyone was hesitant to accept it, but after the sect master and my master saw this screen wall, there was no more controversy."

"This screen wall sculpts the Xiangyang War so vividly and majesticly that it makes people feel as if they were there. It is indeed worth collecting!" Guo Huaishou praised sincerely.

"Let's go this way." Shangguan Yi led the crowd and did not go around the screen wall directly, but walked along the courtyard wall and entered a winding corridor.

This promenade passes through colorful gardens and swaying bamboo forests. There is actually a small lake in front of it.

Seeing the astonishment on everyone's faces, Shangguan Yi was a little proud: "This is not stagnant water, it's living water, which comes from the Qiao River not far to the north. The Lord also said about this, 'with this house, she will not envy Brother Xue's mansion by the river', haha..."

Xue Chang rubbed his nose. He felt that his house was much shabby compared to the mansion in Jagged Changhe Gate.

In fact, not only the residence of the Xiaoyao Sect is incomparable, but also the military patrols in Chengdu. When the military patrols in Jinghu area were very particular about building this mansion, they separated some small courtyards in this big house for various The disciples were sent to stay, and the Flying Fish Gang and the Xiaoyao Sect were each assigned a small courtyard, and no one would disturb them after closing the courtyard door.
