Unexpectedly, Shen Xiaoyu did not answer the man's question, but Wan Fu said without changing his expression: "My subordinate Shen Xiaoyu pays homage to the Deputy Pavilion Master! I wish the Deputy Pavilion Master great blessings!" It turned out that the man in ragged linen clothes It is Li Xinling, the dignified deputy pavilion master of Luoyu Pavilion. Li Xinling is the younger brother of the former pavilion master Shen Wentian. Shen Wentian always calls him Xinling, so everyone in Luoyu Pavilion must call him deputy pavilion master Xinling. To be precise, Shen Xiaoyu should call him uncle, but in public, Shen Xiaoyu mostly calls Li Xinling the deputy pavilion master.

As the deputy master of the pavilion, Li Xinling has always had no airs or limelight in Luoyu Pavilion. He is just like a diligent farmer who only knows how to work hard without caring about the harvest. Li Xinling is far from as sharp as the previous master of the pavilion Shen Wentian. For twenty years, Li Xinling stood behind Shen Wentian and lived in Shen Wentian's light. He only silently supported his senior brother and worked for Luoyu Pavilion. He existed in obscurity. Of course, Shen Wentian did not despise him. , because although this junior brother is poor at words, he is a brave and resourceful person.

Li Xinling squinted his eyes, sat up straight, looked at Shen Xiaoyu and said with half a smile: "Eldest niece, you have been with Tang Jiu Sheng for half a year, and you seem to have made great progress. Not only have you become more mature, your martial arts is almost close to the third level." ? It seems that the so-called genius Tang Jiu Sheng is really not a fool. Not only does his martial arts level improve quickly enough, but the people around him will also be affected! But there is one thing that surprises me. Your father abdicated and let Xian take the position of Pavilion Master. It was passed to Lu Yiliu, who then imprisoned your father and your brother, but you were able to wait so long before returning to the chief helm, you are so tolerant!"

Shen Xiaoyu suddenly trembled all over and said loudly: "Deputy Pavilion Master, I think I know the current situation of my father and my brother! I really can't understand that the person who takes over as Pavilion Master is not my brother, but a person with no knowledge in the gang. Lu Yiliu, the second-class protector of the foundation. Lu Yiliu was not only ungrateful to the previous pavilion master who passed the throne to him, but also put the former pavilion master and his son under house arrest. Isn’t this repaying kindness with enmity? If at that time I I am also at the helm, so I must have been under house arrest at this time, right?"

Li Xinling smiled broadly and clapped his hands and said: "Interesting, keep talking!" Shen Xiaoyu slowly walked a few steps towards Li Xinling. Mr. Qiu who was standing in front of the case immediately became alert and waved the dust fly in his hand to block Shen Xiaoyu. .

Shen Xiaoyu had no choice but to stop, stare into Li Xinling's eyes, and said coldly: "It was the date agreed upon by my father and Tang Jiusheng, but no one from the pavilion was sent to redeem me from Tang Jiusheng. After a while, My father wrote me another letter, but instead of sending it to me, he gave it to the master of the Jiannan branch and asked him to pass it on to me. My father said in the letter that he passed on the position of master of the pavilion to me. Lu Yiliu, but this Lu Yiliu is only a second-class protector in our Luoyu Pavilion. How could any pavilion master pass the throne to such an unknown person so easily?"

Li Xinling leaned back on the chair again and asked with interest: "Well, that's good, is there anything else?"

Shen Xiaoyu added: "What makes people feel strange is that my father passed the position of Pavilion Master to Lu Yiliu, but then news came out that my father and I violated the Luoyu Pavilion's gang rules and were punished by this The new Pavilion Master Lu Yiliu was placed under house arrest. Lu Yiliu also sent people to tell the branch masters in various places that the eldest lady still enjoys the privileges in the Pavilion. At this time, Uncle Li, who was the Deputy Pavilion Master and my father's right-hand man, was He remained unscathed and continued to be his deputy master. He didn’t care about the life and death of my father and me, but he was not liquidated by the new master. Do you think it’s strange that something like this happened to the chief helmsman?”

Lu Dali, who was standing at the foot of the steps, shouted sternly at Shen Xiaoyu, "Shen Xiaoyu, have you said enough? How can a little girl like you understand how the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master act? Why don't you kneel down quickly? Please apologize to the Deputy Pavilion Master!"

Shen Xiaoyu said excitedly: "My father can't be put under house arrest for no reason. There must be a reason. The purpose of putting my father under house arrest is to seize the power from my father. So this is the plot against my father. He must be someone who wants to be the master of the pavilion! This person who wants to be the master of the pavilion does not want to bear the reputation of being unfaithful and unjust, so he hides behind and supports a puppet at the front desk. And this puppet is unknown. Lu Yiliu! All those old people in the pavilion who are loyal to my father must be dealt with, such as Sai Huatuo and others!"

Li Xinling looked up to the sky and laughed, clapped his hands and praised: "Niece, you are really good! You can actually analyze so much inside information from just such a small matter, is there anything else?"

Shen Xiaoyu added: "There are some people who are still of great use to the pavilion but have sympathy for the old pavilion master. For example, the two most prestigious elders in the pavilion, Ying Honglie and An Changxiu, have been demoted. They went to guard the checkpoint where the rudder went up the mountain,

The death of Sai Huatuo and others is a warning to the monkeys. Aohuang and others are my father's disciples, and you are the uncle. They can't compete with you. When they have no choice, they can only escape from the main helm. As for me, I am in the pavilion. I don’t have much power in the country, and I don’t have the ability to rescue my father and brother, so the Shadow Pavilion Master pretended to be generous and allowed me to survive outside, retaining my original treatment. Even the Qingyun Order didn’t take it back. Is that what I expected? Here, Uncle Li!"

Li Xinling stood up with a smile, held the table with both hands, leaned forward and said with a smile: "But your uncle Li, despite all his calculations, never expected that you would become King Wei Tang Jiu Sheng's pillow. You actually have the ability to confuse Tang Jiu Sheng and have the courage to lead people." The raid on the Jiannan Branch can even persuade the King of Wei, Tang Jiusheng, to take the risk himself and come to the helm of our Luoyu Pavilion! My eldest niece, you are really a hero among women! Uncle Li does not admire your father, nor does he admire your brother. , but Master Li has to admire you!"

Shen Xiaoyu shook his head and choked back, "I don't have any Uncle Li. Our Luoyu Pavilion only has a deputy pavilion master named Li Xinling. This deputy pavilion master Li has such great ambitions and has been bearing humiliation and burden for so many years, like an old man. You are like a scalper, working silently for Luoyu Pavilion, without seeking fame or profit, but it turns out that it is an illusion that you have worked hard to become the master of the pavilion. Even a shrewd person like my father has been kept in the dark by you. , Deputy Pavilion Master Li is truly a hero!"

Li Xinling straightened up, dusted off the rags of linen with his hands, and laughed softly: "Back then, Master thought that I was too young and had no foundation, so he passed the position of Pavilion Master to Senior Brother. After so many years, I I have always been shrouded in the shadow of my senior brother. It’s not that I am incompetent. My contribution to Luo Yu Pavilion over the years is obvious to all, but who cares? Luo Yu Pavilion is Shen Wentian’s Luo Yu Pavilion. If not Unexpectedly, in the future it will be Shen Fang’s Luoyu Pavilion, who am I? How many people outside will know that there is also a master named Li Xinling in Luoyu Pavilion?”

Li Xinling walked out from behind the desk and looked at Lu Dali, "So I supported Lu Yiliu and made Ren Ren the master of the pavilion. I gave him money and beautiful women, and even asked him to promote his nephew Lu Dali to be the chief protector of Luoyu Pavilion. , and also demoted two elders, a monk and others who disliked Lu Yiliu to guard the main road up the mountain. Of course I did this for Lu Dalang's consideration, otherwise that loser wouldn't even be able to sit on the chair of the pavilion master. Time! But I really didn’t expect that these uncles and nephews would be obsessed with the power of the pavilion master and conspired to seize my power behind my back!"

Lu Dali looked at Li Xinling and saw that his expression suddenly turned ferocious. He was so frightened that he shouted loudly: "Deputy Pavilion Master, you are wronged! Both my uncle and nephew are loyal to the Deputy Pavilion Master.

The loyalty of the uncle and nephew can be seen day by day! When the deputy master needs money, we will do whatever we can to get money, and let the branch churches in various places pay money on a monthly basis! The deputy cabinet chief is mainly to divide the disobedient branch branches in various places.

, we will replace or even assassinate those disobedient hall masters and sub-rulers! Our uncle and nephew completely obey the deputy master!"

Li Xinling nodded, with an approving smile on his face. He suddenly jumped forward and kicked Lu Dali in the chest. The speed was fast and urgent. Lu Dali, who was caught off guard, was kicked out by Li Xinling. Lu Dali was kicked out.

He fell more than three feet away, fell to the ground and struggled for a long time. Two of his ribs were broken by the kick. Lu Dali was not only rough in appearance, but also had a beard on his face and a pair of ring eyes. He was indeed a tough guy.

Both ribs remained silent, but when he saw Li Xinling's eyes, he knew instantly that something was wrong.

The furious Li Xinling had fire in his eyes and sneered: "What a loyal person! Your uncle and nephew secretly trained a monk army behind my back. Do you think I don't know about it? Your uncle and nephew also secretly discussed that if

If things don't work out, I will release the old pavilion master and use him as a coercion to order each branch to run the branch! You are indeed loyal to me, huh? Since you are so loyal to me, how should I reward your uncle and nephew?

How good are the talents?"

Lu Dali was stunned. When he secretly discussed the matter with his uncle Lu Yiliu, there was no one else around him. How did Li Xinling know about it? Lu Dali always knew that Li Xinling was ruthless. If he was ruthless today, his uncle, nephew and those subordinates

They were all killed. A good man doesn't want to suffer the consequences. Lu Dali immediately got up from the ground and rushed towards Li Xinling crazily, wanting to hug Li Xinling's thigh, "Deputy Pavilion Master! I know I'm wrong! Please help me, Deputy Pavilion Master!"

Pavilion Master, please forgive me! My uncle and nephew have been following the Deputy Pavilion Master for so long. They have worked hard without any merit..."

Li Xinling kicked Lu Dali out again. This time he fell too hard and Lu Dali couldn't get up. Li Xinling glanced at Lu Dali with disgust and said loudly: "Who are you, give Lu Dali a blow?"

I'll take it! Enter the dungeon! After I deal with these rebellions,

Then take them out and behead them together!"

Immediately, a warrior outside the hall agreed, and four warriors who looked like wolves and tigers rushed into the Luoyu Hall and escorted Lu Dali out. Lu Dali kept struggling, turned around and wailed loudly: "Deputy Pavilion Master, spare your life! Subordinates

I have made a mistake! I will definitely correct it! Miss Xiaoyu, please help me to plead for mercy!" No one in the Luoyu Hall responded, and Lu Dali's wailing sound gradually faded away until it disappeared. There was silence and silence in the Luoyu Hall.

Everyone could hear their own breathing. Li Xinling looked around at everyone, silently returned to the desk, and sat on the chair again.

Li Xinling narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Jiusheng and smiled. He smiled kindly, with a harmless expression on his face, "I'm sorry, I was not strict with you and made His Royal Highness laugh! His Highness King Wei is a guest from afar.

"Come here, show your Highness the King of Wei, the Queen Concubine, and all the adults of the Palace of Wei!" As soon as Li Xinling finished speaking, several maids walked out from behind the painted folding screen on the right, carrying several embroidered embroidery pieces, and came to Tang Jiusheng

After waiting for others, they put down the embroidered pier. Tang Jiusheng and others sat down politely.

Mr. Qiu, who was standing in front of the desk, pointed at the maids and added: "What are you still doing in a daze? Watching tea!"

The maids hurriedly brought out a few more small tables, placed them in front of Tang Jiusheng and others, arranged the tea bowls, and then poured tea and served it. Tang Jiusheng looked at the tea in the tea bowls, then raised his head and glanced at Li Xinling, but did not drink.

Tea. When Shui Ruyue and Fatty and others saw that Tang Jiusheng did not drink tea, they knew that he was afraid that the tea would be poisonous, so no one drank it. A maid brought up the big copper teapot and poured a cup for Li Xinling. Li Xinling saw that everyone looked at each other.

Without even picking up the tea bowl, he suddenly laughed wildly and said, "You must not drink it, my tea is poisonous!"

As he spoke, Li Xinling ignored the boiling water and picked up a bowl of hot tea, pouring it all into his throat as if pouring water. He also praised loudly: "Good tea! Good tea!" When Tang Jiusheng saw him like this, he

I felt embarrassed, so I had to pick up the tea bowl and take a sip. Everyone saw that Li Xinling drank the tea and was fine, and Tang Jiusheng drank the tea without any problems, so they all picked up the tea bowl and drank.

Tang Jiusheng put down his tea bowl and looked at Li Xinling who was sitting behind the big case table. At this time, Li Xinling was sitting at a high place. Tang Jiusheng had to look up to see him. Tang Jiusheng asked with a smile: "I am very curious. I have been wearing this all the way."

He has never shown his true face to others, so how did Pavilion Master Li know that this king has come to be the chief helmsman of Luoyu Pavilion?"

Li Xinling first corrected Tang Jiusheng, "Your Majesty, you are wrong, I am not the master of the pavilion, just the deputy master of the pavilion!" Then he said calmly: "To be honest, as soon as the prince set off, I knew that the prince was heading towards Tiexuan Mountain.

Here you go. Are you only allowed to have your spies in my Luoyu Pavilion, and I can’t place a few undercover agents in Prince Wei’s mansion? It’s a good idea to come and not to go back, and the prince also knows that I, Li Xinling, am nothing

As a good man and a woman of faith, I will never offend anyone unless someone offends me, but if someone offends me, I will root it out!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled slightly and said disapprovingly: "Pavilion Master Li is being humble. Although you are the deputy pavilion master of Luoyu Pavilion in name, you actually hold the power of life and death in the pavilion. It is not appropriate to call you the deputy pavilion master."

!Hero, why bother sticking to just one title? Even if you are just a protector, I will not dare to look down upon you!"

Li Xinling clapped slowly and praised: "Your Majesty is indeed wise! Now that Your Majesty has come to the Luoyuge Pavilion, it is a good thing. I have a business going on, and I want to talk to Your Majesty! We have negotiated, and we can cooperate.

, it’s something that everyone is happy with, but I just don’t know if the prince is interested in this deal! If the prince is interested, we have to have a good chat!”

Tang Jiusheng put his hands on his sleeves and said with a meaningful smile: "Doing business is a good thing. I like doing business the most. I buy low, sell high, and earn the difference. It's so fun! Besides, how can you make big money if you don't do business?

Well, right? But I don’t know what kind of business Pavilion Master Li wants to discuss with me? How much capital is needed? Is there any danger? After all, I and Pavilion Master Li have never cooperated before. I don’t know you. I’m afraid it’s our first time.

Cooperation is a waste of money.”

Li Xinling laughed and said: "Your Majesty is indeed a good businessman! But there is a saying that wealth can only be gained through risk. You can't make big money without taking risks! The business I want to discuss with Your Majesty is a big one, and ordinary people can't make it."

If you can't eat it, only a few people with the most power in the world are the best partners! Your Majesty, please think about it, my Luoyu Pavilion is the strongest killer organization in the world of Dashang. If Your Majesty can join forces with me, then even Yong'an City
Chapter completed!
