Zhou Yu was puzzled and thought to himself, could Lin Piao have some quirks like Yinchuan Gong?

Xiao Qi, who was on the side, saw his puzzled look, whispered impatiently: "Put your look of not hiding your mind. Our Zangjian Pavilion has a great status in the world. He never formed cliques or pleases anyone. The Grand Master has almost never given a gift. It has already given the other party great face to get a gift from our young master."

Although the food delivery is not a good gift, it is the most suitable. There are no substantial valuable items. In addition, Qiu Yebai's words actually show that the Zangjian Pavilion still follows the old rules and will not form alliances with any gang. This time, it was just to visit the old master's old friends and meet the master's birthday, so it was prepared for the little thoughts.

But this kind of intention is already very considerate for the owner.

Zhou Yu followed Qiu Yebai into Juyi Hall and watched the envious eyes of Lin Chonglang by the people in the martial arts world, he realized the extraordinary status of Zangjian Pavilion in the martial arts world for the first time.

Looking at those gangsters, I think it was for the birthday party. Although they were dressed brightly, they could not hide their evil spirits. Some women dressed in the world of gangs and daughters were also dressed in red and green, and they were quite fashionable, just like the mistress or ladies of ordinary wealthy families. However, there was a faint sense of hostility or frivolity between their eyebrows. They sat among men and were calm and composed.

Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly opened up as all kinds of characters.

When Qiu Ye Bai Chu entered the hall, he saw a few familiar faces, all of whom were famous figures from various underworlds and gangs in Huainan and north to have birthday wine. She had seen her master when she was young, and she was considered a senior. When she saw the other party stand up and greet him, she always smiled and greeted him with a polite smile.

Lin Chonglang arranged for her to sit down at a table next to her and accompany her in person. She also asked her confidants to bring the hot wine and dishes on the stove.

Qiuyebai looked at the wine and dishes on the table, which were quite rich, with dishes from all over the north and south. One of them was fried nine-table fish and the other was the rarest.

Seeing Qiu Yebai's eyes stopping on the shrimps and swordfish, Lin Chonglang's expression could not hide his complacent expression: "Uncle Shi knew that the Fourth Young Master had been around the country with the old immortals. Naturally, he knew that the Jiu-Belly Fish was the tenderest and the shrimp was the freshest. The two dishes may not be difficult to see on the coast, but the sea fish and shrimp died as soon as they came out of the water. Especially, the Jiu-Belly Fish is a specialty of southern Fujian and Guangdong. I don't know how much time it took for my elder brother to let me cool it and transport it to the inland in this July. The Fourth Young Master might as well try it, but it is different from the taste you have ever eaten?"

Qiu Yebai naturally would not refute his face and agreed with a smile, not to mention that these two dishes are indeed rare inland.

She picked up the chopsticks and tried it, and then sincerely praised: "The taste is very good, and the umami taste is as if it has just been taken out of the water. Mr. Murong is worthy of being the leader of the underworld, and he is indeed capable!"

This kind of complimentary but real praise made Lin Chonglang feel more comfortable. He immediately planned to reach out and bring the two dishes to her: "Since the fourth young master likes it, eat more."

Qiu Yebai nodded and responded. She had tossed all night and was indeed hungry. She was having a meal while chatting and laughing with the gangsters on the table.

While talking to her, the gangsters secretly judged the young master of Zangjian Pavilion in their hearts.

I only thought that although the old immortal Nei Tianji had a few disciples, the only one of Qiu Yebai, the closed disciples was because he had a strange temper and all his disciples couldn't serve him. He would rather be just an ordinary disciple in the ordinary Canon Sword Pavilion. So in his later years, he met Qiu Yebai and actually accepted a closed disciple, but he went west after a few years.

Of course, the bosses who originally planned to entrust the weapons in their hands to Zangjian Pavilion after washing their hands or before their death were somewhat in their hearts.

Qiu Yebai followed the old immortal Tianji to travel around the world in his early years. He had never seen any figures in the world. He had seen many people in the world and was naturally knowledgeable. In addition, she was very good at speaking and did not make people feel frivolous. Soon, the big guys who secretly observed the young master of Zangjian Pavilion on the table all praised him in their hearts.

I secretly said that the old immortal Tianji does have vision.

Although the people who were not worth enough on the other tables wanted to come and toast, they had to consider their identities themselves. They were in the way of the rules and did not dare to be presumptuous. Although the women did not dare to come and toast, they threw a few charming eyes from time to time.

There are no rules for the children of the world to talk about, let alone the women who are scattered in the underworld, and they are even more indulgent.

When seeing a rare handsome man like Qiu Yebai and Zhou Yu, he naturally spared no effort to exude his charm, even if it was only one time.

Even the romantic children like Zhou Yu were shocked when they looked at the charming women deliberately posing towards them, and even those who even deliberately lowered their collars and exposed their breasts.

Qiu Yebai only smiled and did not respond, but only gave a cup of tea with the big guys around him.

After three rounds of wine, people who were somewhat self-reliant and still had some status came with the wine and tried to toast.

Qiuyebai didn't refuse, and raised his wine glass with a smile and touched his lips, but the other party was already flattered, so more people were ready to move.

After sending two or three people to toast, she seemed to inadvertently said to Lin Chonglang: "Yes, Uncle Shi, I heard that some brothers on the underworld have done something big to break the sky recently in Huainan. They are very heroic and heroic. I wonder if those brothers can be here today?"

In fact, because autumn leaves are coming today, Lin Chonglang knew a few big guys sitting in the same seat early. Although he did not deliberately notify others, the big guys in the big village did not leave. Those people from the small village who were not worthy of the title dared to leave. Even if they were drunk, they had to accompany them here.

So when Qiuyebai came, the table in Juyi Hall was still full. After she asked this, the big guys during the table became quiet instantly.

Lin Chonglang's face was also stiff and he did not answer immediately.

Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows: "What, Uncle Shi and the others are not here?"

This is surprising.

The muscles on Lin Chonglang's face trembled slightly, then he looked at her and smiled a little stiffly: "It's just a family scandal, so what is the heroic deed."

"Oh?" Qiu Yebai looked at Lin Chonglang, then looked a little surprised, and continued to ask, "What do you mean?"

Lin Chonglang was already very annoyed by the group of people, and this matter was not a very confidential matter between them. Many villages have heard of this matter to a greater or lesser extent.

He sighed, took another glass of wine, smiled bitterly, and said slowly.

"Through the sky, this time it's really like the sky!"

A group of minions in Qiongqi Village were originally just river workers who built river embankments, but they couldn't stand the exploitation of the government, so they simply killed the head of the supervisor. They hid in a water siege and started robbing families. Originally, they were those who had no real skills, so they could only rob some small merchant ships, and they couldn't pay a lot of money on weekdays.

He naturally didn't take it seriously, but he didn't know when the Qiongqi Village secretly developed from a small village of twenty or thirty people under his nose to a large village of about one hundred people. Although his status was still low, he had just noticed something wrong with the Qiongqi Village a few days ago. Before he could send someone to check it out, he heard that they actually robbed the ships of the imperial merchants, robbed the tributes, and led to a major case!

He was shocked at that time. Even if he had robbed ordinary officials, it would be fine, but hijacked the royal tribute was not a trivial matter. I was afraid that the court would send heavy troops to encircle and suppress all the villages on the canal.

What's more, the Mei family also gives them a lot of "protection silver" to the villages of Huainan Water Road every year. Now that something happens to their ship here, isn't it a treason?

After Lin Chonglang finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh deeply again: "Speaking of this, Uncle Shi, I was too careless, which caused such a big incident, which almost caused a disaster."

The Green Forest Underworld said that they were competing with the court, but although it is not the prosperous scene of the founding three generations, it is barely peaceful. How could they really fight against the court? To put it bluntly, they are just thieves, not real rebels.

Therefore, they were fighting against government officials and government offices in various places. Most of them were hunting for them. The soldiers under the jail runners and guerrilla generals in the prefectures and counties were not really regular troops of the court. If they met a real regular army, they would be unable to defeat four hands with two fists, and the other party had the experience of attacking cities and camps. I am afraid that they would have to destroy the villages and run away with their martial arts skills.

Qiu Yebai comforted and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Shi, it is just a villain's cause, it's just..."

She paused and continued: "This major incident happened. It is logical that the court would launch troops to encircle and suppress it, just to see that there is no news now. I heard that the Ministry of Justice who came to investigate the case a few days ago was drowned in the water. Could it be that Uncle Shi..."

"Of course not!" Lin Chonglang frowned and his face was gloomy: "Uncle Shi, I am reckless, but I still know that I can't do this. It's very strange to say that the people from Qiongqi Village did that thing. After the people from Qiongqi Village did, their boss immediately came to me to cry and said that they heard that a merchant planned to transport the accounts to buy goods in Yinbeishan, but they didn't know how they robbed the Mei family's tribute ship."

"Oh, such a coincidence?" Qiu Yebai narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked curiously: "So whose money they originally planned to rob?"

Lin Chonglang thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the Li family on the east coast."

She heard this and said carelessly: "The Li family, but the one that also does the cloth business?"

That was a coincidence. Tonight, no, wasn’t it the Li family who stayed in the night?

Lin Chonglang nodded: "That's right."

Qiu Yebai lifted the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Lin Chonglang, sighing: "Uncle Shi, since Qiongqi Village has done such a big case involving everyone, if you follow the rules on the Tao, you may not be able to keep it."

Before Lin Chonglang could speak, he was drinking at the big boss of Shuigang Village, a sturdy man known as Lao Zeng, sneered: "Ge, according to my intentions, we should clean up the door by ourselves and give the government an explanation. But I didn't know that the second boss of Qiongqi Village was very capable and dared to make a promise that the government would never send people to encircle us, but if we do our own actions, it would be the time to cause a disaster."

"Oh, is it so amazing? He dares to make a promise if he has a red mouth and white teeth. Could it be that he has any great relationship with the government?" Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows and said strangely.

Originally, this matter was said deeply, and it was all internal affairs and should not be told by outsiders. However, firstly, everyone here drank a lot today, and secondly, this matter was depressed in their hearts for a long time. In addition, Qiu Yebai's special identity and Zangjian Pavilion's status is beyond the world, and he is trustworthy and neutral. There is no need to do anything that harms them.

So Lin Chonglang took Lao Zeng's words and frowned and said, "I just said that the second son of Qiongqi Village had saved the life of a general from the Defense Forces. He asked the general to find a way to save their lives and they returned all the things to the government, just to turn big things into small things."

"Uncle Shi, you can't believe anything they say, just believe something?" Qiu Yebai sneered lightly, but his mind started running at high speed.

Border Guard?

It seems that Lin Chonglang didn't seem to know which general he was. The small inland bandits actually involved the border guards. The border generals were not allowed to have private personal affairs in the court. What does it mean if they were involved in the border army?

The Empress Dowager, the Mei family, Li family, the local government and the Silijian walking yamen, who did not want to really solve the case, had such a strange attitude. She suddenly pulled the border guards again... Everything seemed to be slowly connected into a jumper in Qiu Yebai's mind. It seemed that something was about to come out in a hazy way, but she couldn't catch the beginning and end.

At this time, Lin Chonglang continued: "Of course not, but the second leader of Qiongqi Village asked us to wait a little longer with the wealth and life of the entire village. According to common sense, if the royal merchant ship is robbed, the court will be furious. At least three days, he will issue a document of arrest or a proclamation for pursuit within three days, and then dispatch troops and generals to search separately. They bet that the government will not do this within three days."

Qiu Yebai was stunned. This Qiongqi Village dared to make a bet alone!

But then she sneered in her heart, that's right, if they were confident in this matter, this bet could be gambled!

"I think they've made a gamble. The second in command of Qiongqi Village is a bold and powerful person!" Qiu Yebai said with a smile.

If the bet was right this time, then they later promised that the court would not force the army to snatch it, so naturally they could prove it slowly and they would keep the village from then on.

Lin Chonglang frowned slightly, obviously not liked this person very much. Old Zeng also snorted coldly: "Mom, that person with the surname Shu is not a good person, he looks somber!"

Qiu Yebai thought for a while and seemed to be no such person in the world. He said, "Since you uncle Shi said that, Yebai was a little curious. Can this person be here?"

When Lin Chonglang saw Qiuyebai asking, he had to nod and said, "I'm here."

Then, he compared the table that was closest to the corner.

Qiu Yebai looked over, but she never thought that the moment she looked over, she happened to meet a sharp and gloomy eye.

Cold and gloomy.

He was a man who looked quite young, not as good as the three big and five thick water bandits or the vicious gangsters in her impression. The man even looked a little bookish. If he hadn't had a black eye mask in one of his eyes, he would have looked like those down-and-out scholars.

No wonder Lin Chonglang and the others don’t like it. Such an aura looks like a sinister villain, completely different from those of them.

Qiu Yebai instantly narrowed his eyes and slowly curled the corner of his lower lip at the man.

The one-eyed man just nodded and turned his face away. The table where he was was not lively. After the one-eyed dragon turned his head, a short, fat man with two beards next to him seemed to have noticed something, and even turned his head and showed an almost flattering smile at Qiu Yebai.

"Hmph!" Lao Zeng glared back angrily, and the bearded man immediately did not dare to look at him again.

Qiu Yebai smiled and said, "That little beard is the boss of Qiongqi Village?"

Lin Chonglang nodded, and said with contempt: "That's it."

Qiu Yebai was thinking about what method to use to get the beard to come and toast for a while, so that he could get on the line and check the other party's background, but he didn't expect that a water ghost suddenly came in hurriedly and whispered something in Lin Chonglang's ear.

Qiu Yebai saw his face change instantly, so he turned his attention back and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, what's wrong? Could it be that the people in the government suddenly repent and want the army to face the enemy?"

Lin Chonglang shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "Although it is not, it is almost the same. The eldest young master of the Mei family went south to Huainan for inspection."

Qiu Yebai took the wine glass and slapped his hand: "Oh, then what?"

Lin Chonglang smiled bitterly: "He asked someone to hand in a greeting letter, saying that he had prepared his eldest brother's birthday gift. He was waiting for my reply at this time. I think that Yinchuan Gong has gone out to pick him up at this moment."

She lowered her eye feathers to block the coldness in her eyes.

Meisu, it was Meisu, and he actually reacted much faster than I thought.

He actually thought about coming to Lin Piao's house. Is it a coincidence or simply to pay homage to his birthday as he said?
