The Dragon Capture Array was set up for eight days. Behind the main entrance of Bufan Palace and inside the east and west walls, a team of disciples patrolled. The back of the backer is empty, and Rong Luoyun's Bieyuan is there, and he himself sits in charge.

Bieyuan is called "No Name Residence". The courtyard is covered with milky white gravel, and seven or eight ginkgo trees are planted. The yellow leaves and white stones add some color to the quaint house. Rong Luoyun stepped from the house to the eaves, raised his face, and held a small bowl in his hand.

The magpie nest on the beam is lively, and there is a birdcage like a fort in one corner of the yard. When the magpie was full, he went to feed the carrier pigeons in front of the cage, and teased with "coo hoo hoo hoo", and found that the beans that flew to Chang'an had still not returned.

The ear bones moved slightly, Rong Luoyun looked out the door following the sound, and saw Duan Huaike coming with a food box. "Big brother." He called out and put down the bowl to welcome the other party into the hall, but Duan Huaike slammed his chin on Langzi.

There is no hall door, the corridor under the eaves is connected to the hall, three or two futons are placed, and there is a small blanket.

The two of them sat side by side, and when the food box was opened, a delicious aroma came out, it was a bowl of hot plain noodles. Rong Luo stood up from the clouds, grate hot soup, and the appearance of Baba eating is no different from that of a magpie carrier pigeon. Duan Huaike stared at him for a while in the dark, but he couldn't see it clearly, so he got up and went to get the ignition slave.

Once inside and out, the nameless settlement was brightly lit. Rong Luoyun muttered, "It's so bright, thieves wouldn't dare to come."

Duan Huaike said, "It's been the eighth day of waiting for the rabbit. The first seven days were dark, and the thieves didn't come?"

Rong Luoyun's eyes fluttered, and he glanced at each other unwillingly. Duan Huaike smiled, took off the jade pot around his waist and took a few sips of wine. He looked around and asked, "Then the thief will watch every night if he doesn't come? When is the head?"

These words stopped Rong Luoyun's question, and he answered inappropriately: "This side is so detailed."

Duan Huaike's smile deepened, as if to say, "Don't do this." Opening the lower layer of the food box, there was still a plate of honey food inside, he said sarcastically, "This candy is so sweet."

He was talking and laughing under the eaves, and suddenly, a dark shadow passed by not far away. Out of the corner of the screen, Rong Luoyun was about to put the bowl to chase, but Duan Huaike set off ahead of him: "Eat your noodles obediently."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Huaike had already swept out, catching up with the shadow for a moment. Only then did it become clear that it was not a thief, but two disciples in the palace, both dressed in black, each carrying a knife in their pockets. He asked, "What happened at night?"

One of them replied: "Go back to the palace master, today is the anniversary of Senior Brother Xu Zheng's death. We both enjoy his care and do our best."

Xu Zhengnai, the first-class eldest disciple of Bufan Palace, left this time last year, and it has been a year since dawn and dusk. Rong Luoyun chased after him, knowing it in his heart, he ordered: "Go, put the incense stick for me and the master of the palace."

When the two disciples left, Rong Luoyun and Duan Huaike stood opposite each other, and they couldn't help but feel lost. Disciples die every year, old ones die and new ones are added, but in fact they are being lost all the time.

What Duan Huaike thought: "Xu Zheng's seat is always empty?"

Rong Luoyun said, "En", Xu Zheng's martial arts was quite high, and the second-class disciple had no choice but to leave it empty. Duan Huaike listened thoughtfully: "The Snitch has not yet been captured, and there will be a strong enemy Huo Linfeng in the future, and the palace is in need of replenishment."

Rong Luoyun asked, "What do you mean by eldest brother?"

Duan Huaike said: "Recruit troops to buy horses and replenish manpower."

As for how to recruit, Jianghu people like to be high and low, and they can set up a competition.

In fact, it is not uncommon to hold martial arts conferences almost every year in the rivers and lakes, and it will be very lively at that time. There has been no waves on the left and right of the Xiganling Mountains for a long time. It is spring, and it is time to make some noise, so that the ignorant bandits and the soldiers from the north will see who is the king here.

After the decision, Duan Huaike went back to draw up a plan and prepared to recruit as soon as possible.

Rong Luoyun was still standing, looking up at the broken star accompanied by the bright moon, making people reluctant to go back to the room. He paced back under the eaves, and after eating, he put on a small blanket and sat on the futon to watch the stars.

The magpies hug each other in the nest, and the carrier pigeons cuddle in their cages, but he sleeps like this.

Rong Luoyun sat on the ground all night, his body next to the floor was cold, and he was even a little stiff when he woke up. He staggered a few steps, put on a blanket and went back to the bedroom to warm up. As soon as he entered the door, he heard "Second Brother".

Since the theft, Lu Zhun hadn't slept in, and seldom went out. When he entered the room, he saw Rong Luoyun curled up on the bed, so he knelt down beside the bed: "Second brother, the eldest brother said that he would recruit people by martial arts, so he called for someone to set up a stage early in the morning."

Rong Luoyun said "um": "Recruit someone to protect your money."

Lu Zhun smirked: "Don't make fun of me, I've been staring at me all these days, and I'll have a headache when I see the silver." He approached to act like a spoiled child, but Rong Luoyun grabbed his ear and pulled him closer, "Second brother, you have a good hand. cold."

Rong Luoyun asked, "How about you prepare for the competition?"

Lu Zhun said happily: "Really? I will immediately arrange for someone to supervise the work, the second brother believes me!"

Rong Luoyun smiled lightly, released his hand and pointed at the table, and Lu Zhun immediately ran to lay the paper and grind it. Still feeling cold, he walked over to the table under a blanket, picked up a pen and wrote down a recruitment list—

The Bufan Palace competes with heroes in the arena. Anyone who wins will be the first-class disciple of the Bufan Palace, rewarded with a thousand taels, and vow to follow the Bufan Palace to the death.

After writing a few words, he put the pen down, and he instructed: "Attach it to the city gate, and prepare a reward of a thousand taels."

Lu Zhun was stunned for a moment, the reward is a thousand taels, he will come out... First off four thousand taels, then another thousand taels, he held his breath and looked at Rong Luoyun. I wanted to pretend to be pitiful, but first I was fascinated by Rong Luoyun's peach blossom eyes, and replied in a confused way: "Okay... I'm ready."

After explaining, Rong Luoyun went to the outer hall to boil water and make tea, went to the bedroom to wash and change clothes, and Lu Zhun followed him all the time. He thought he didn't explain it clearly, so he repeated it in detail, but the other party still followed him around the house.

He stopped and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lu Zhun grabbed his arm: "Second brother, you are not allowed to take the eldest disciple you recruited too seriously."

Rong Luoyun felt inexplicable: "Why?"

Lu Zhun hesitantly said: "I was also a big disciple back then. You promoted me to be the palace master. If you recruit a very good one...will you replace me?" The position of the Lord, I am afraid that you are not the best for me."

No wonder he came here early in the morning and talked about things and followed up, because he was worried about this. Rong Luoyun patted the other person's shoulder: "The third child, I will take you as my younger brother, and no one can replace it, neither can the fourth child."

Lu Zhun looked at Rong Luoyun steadily and nodded seriously. "Then I'll go..." He said while retreating, afraid that Rong Luoyun would regret it, "Second brother, don't lie to me, I'll be obedient in the future."

Rong Luoyun watched the other party walk away, and laughed for a long while.

As soon as the recruitment list was posted, it attracted countless people. That "a thousand taels of bounty" is very tempting, not only the people of Jianghu who are eager to compete, but even ordinary people are eager to try it.

In the distance, a pair of master and servant looked curiously, it was Huo Linfeng and Du Zheng. Du Zhengyao pointed: "Master, what are you talking about? Could it be that you posted the notice of your dispatch here?"

Huo Linfeng was dubious, strode forward, and finally saw it before the list. "To recruit people for martial arts?" His eyes suddenly lit up, since he entered the arena, of course he had to compete with the masters. Isn't this a God-sent opportunity? Going further down, the bounty is a thousand taels, and the room fee can also be paid off?

In the past, guarding his father in Saibei and rivaling his brother, Huo Linfeng thought he was outstanding. He really wanted to give it a try. In the midst of all living beings, how much is his Huo family?

After watching, Huo Linfeng took the servant back to the inn. Unexpectedly, there was a group of people outside the inn. A lake-blue figure in the building was talking to the shopkeeper. It was clearly Lu Zhun. Du Zheng was shocked: "Master, did he come to arrest you to pay back the money?"

Huo Lin entered the door calmly and calmly, his inner strength forced Lu Zhun to turn back. The eyes of the two met, and Lu Zhun took the lead to turn back: "Treasurer, I will set a five-day running water banquet to entertain the heroes of the arena, and prepare enough wine."

Huo Linfeng secretly said, the loss of 4,000 taels is still so generous, this little God of Wealth is indeed rich. Just as Lu Zhun finished speaking, he turned around, faced him, looked at him, looked away, and instructed a disciple, "Go back and inform the three palace masters, come over for the lunch banquet."

The list has been posted, the stage is set up, and the extraordinary palace puts on a flowing water table, full of sincerity. Coupled with the four palace masters personally entertaining guests, the news must spread quickly.

Huo Linfeng was listening, but what he thought was... Rong Luoyun is coming at noon?

I had a glimpse of it that night, and still can't be sure. Can it be confirmed today?

The whole inn was busy, Huo Linfeng and Du Zheng showed up for a long time, and the shopkeeper didn't even bother to ask for the room fee. "Master," Du Zheng asked impatiently when he returned to his room, "Can we have a running water table at noon?"

The dignified little Marquis was reduced to eating the banquet of bandits, but Huo Linfeng looked proud: "Not only do I want to eat the flowing water table of the Bufan Palace, but also win the thousand taels of the Bufan Palace."

When he said that, he looked up, and he seemed to see doves flying by the window.

It was a carrier pigeon, fluttering its wings for more than a thousand miles, and plunged into the Xiganling towards the southeast. Flying over the high wall, passing the courtyard, and finally hovering at the foot of the mountain behind. Wu Liuliu rolled his eyes, flew towards the person under the ginkgo tree, and let out a soft cry.

Rong Luoyun stretched out his index finger and connected it, and asked with a smile, "Douzi, Chang'an is so moisturizing, you still know how to come back?" He took off the pigeon's foot creed, threw the small thing away, and began to read the words.

- Watching the wind without moving, the two are irrelevant.

Rong Luoyun had concerns in his heart, and at this time his disciples came to report and told him to go to the banquet. "Understood, prepare the horse." He instructed, then went into the room to change clothes, and set the note on fire in the basin.

The city was bustling, and the news was spread by dozens of people, and the street in front of the inn was blocked. Rong Luoyun came on horseback, and as expected, he went straight to the inn through the back door.

"Second brother, tell me to wait!" Diao Yuliang appeared out of nowhere, tied the reins for his horse, and dragged him hurriedly inside. As soon as he entered the lobby, the seats were full and the cups and chips were staggered. Duan Huaike was fighting with others, and Lu Zhun held a machete to settle accounts with the shopkeeper.

Diao Yuliang said: "Second brother, you are late, and the feast will be opened before noon, and there will be three shifts of people coming and going."

Rong Luoyun looked around, unable to find a place to settle because of the noise, he found the stairs and wanted to go upstairs to choose a clean place.

Climbing to the seventh and eighth steps, at a corner, it is narrow and windless and feels sultry, but it also eliminates some noise. He lowered his head, suddenly a pair of boot tips came into view, the next moment his forehead hit his shoulder, and his shoulder rubbed against the other's chest.

Rong Luoyun stepped back and raised his head slightly. The person in front of him is tall and straight, with a pair of sharp and unruly deep eyes under his sword eyebrows, but his eyes are open and sincere, and it is difficult to hide a arrogant air.

Coincidentally, when the other party saw that it was him, he was also stunned.

Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to be found, Huo Linfeng is calm, his tall body blocks the way of others, and he stands one step higher, with a posture of looking down at each other. He thought, the living person in front of him... is Rong Luoyun?

So he asked, "Sorry for the collision, are you okay?"

Rong Luoyun's eyelashes flickered, and he returned to God: "It's okay, let it go."

Huo Linfeng stood still: "I can't find any vacancies upstairs, so you don't have to go up."

Rong Luoyun said, "The downstairs is also full, so you don't have to go down."

Huo Linfeng pursed his lips to hide a trace of joy, still thinking in his mind, is this Rong Luoyun? He coughed lightly and said deliberately, "I don't eat dinner. I heard that the second palace master of the Bufan Palace has green face and fangs. I want to see it."

Rong Luoyun was startled again, suppressing his anger, but he couldn't suppress the pinkish redness on his thin skin. With a flick of his sleeve robe, he dragged the opponent down the steps, and staggered almost to the touch. Then he pushed the person and said softly, "You have seen it."

In an instant, the clouds cleared.

Huo Linfeng said in a low voice, "Being reckless, I actually offended the second palace lord." Looking at Shangrong Luoyun's eyes, he couldn't help but turn into a soft voice, "I will come out on top in the next day's competition, and I will apologize to the palace lord. "

After he said that, he left, but he was afraid that people would forget, so he took something out of his arms and left a clue.

The tall figure came and went like the wind, Rong Luoyun stunned, and he was the only one left in this corner. There was something falling on the steps, he picked it up and looked at it, stunned again and again.

Light gray, embroidered with ginkgo leaves... It was clearly his handkerchief.
