Zhen Guojiang

Yan Xia looked at the competition on the stage, maybe he had just finished the competition, but he hadn't enjoyed it yet. He stared at Cheng Mu, remembering that Cheng Mu had once promised him a competition, but the deeper his martial arts, the more willing he was to understand such things. He also stared intently at the stage, where the young heroes showed their own martial arts to the fullest, he watched and studied earnestly, and Luo Lingsong did the same, his eyes never left the stage for a moment.

The people above changed wave after wave, some went down quickly, some were evenly matched, and fought for a long time, Yan Xia watched them compete from below, imitating their movements in his mind, taking the opportunity to improve himself , and Luo Lingsong stared at it motionless. Finally, the sun moved from east to west, and the people above finally finished the competition.

Yan Xia looked at the winners, not surprised, after all, everyone has been in the martial arts for so long, basically everyone has an estimate of who is what level, how many people will be left in the end and what kind of people will be left. You will know when you come up, the other people didn't come up to really fight for the leader, after all, the opportunity is rare, to gain some experience, such as the boy who fought with Yan Xia.

As for those who are capable of contending for the leader, their martial arts are basically the same. Whether they can win depends on who wins in the end. Unfortunately, there is an extra Yan Xia, and there are more unpredictable results in this conference.

The meeting on the first day was over. Yan Xia looked at Luo Lingsong beside him. Luo Lingsong's eyes were as calm as water, and he said, "Be careful around you." He turned and left, leaving Yan Xia alone without knowing what to say.

At this time, Gu Yixiang came to Yan Xia's side, and said carelessly: "Come on, let's go to the bar, my brother is waiting for you over there."

He withdrew his gaze and walked over. Gu Yixiang glanced at Luo Lingsong and said to Yan Xia: "Don't worry about Luo Lingsong, he is not such a simple person. Although he did not participate in the martial arts conference, his martial arts should not be underestimated, and he is good at business. , Gui Yanshan can be said to have slowed down in his hands."

Yan Xia said to Gu Yixiang seriously: "Thank you."

Gu Yixiang scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "No, it's not a secret, it's just that most people don't know it. Let's go, or my brother will be in a hurry."

Yan Xia hummed, and soon came to a restaurant with Gu Yixiang. The restaurant was huge and very elegant. Han Yuxiao, Jing Yuanzhen, and today's outstanding teenagers were all waiting for them at the table. Soothing.

This restaurant looks very popular, every table is full of guests, these guests are all looking at Han Yuxiao's table as if there is nothing, some people even started discussing openly, Han Yuxiao and the others didn't respond, Looking at Yan Xia and Gu Yixiang, Han Yuxiao said with a smile: "Tomorrow, there will be a second big competition, so I won't go to Zhongshuilou and Xingyunbo. This house's wine collection is famous all over the world. Tonight, I will treat you to exchange feelings .”

Everyone naturally agreed, but they knew how much they should drink in their martial arts competition tomorrow. When Yan Xia sat down, Han Yuxiao raised his glass and said, "Today is the first time I have seen Brother Yan Xia's extraordinaryness. This cup is toast to you." , I wish you a great victory tomorrow."

Gu Yixiang jokingly said: "Brother, what you said is that if you face Yan Shaoxia tomorrow, wouldn't you curse yourself to lose?"

Han Yuxiao smiled and spat: "As long as you talk a lot, if I meet Yan Xia, I will naturally go all out. After all, is this the greatest respect for Yan Xia?"

Yan Xia said: "Naturally it is like this."

Gu Yixiang smiled and said, "Elder brother, whatever you say is wrong."

Han Yuxiao smiled and said, "So I am your senior brother."

Gu Yixiang smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, and said to Yan Xia: "This glass is to Yan Shaoxia, thank you for finding out the truth."

Yan Xia replied: "This is what I was supposed to do."

Gu Yixiang was smiling, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and asked, "Ye Jinghan, Mr. Ye didn't come today."

Yan Xia's face became gentle, her voice softened a little, and she said, "He is in poor health and rarely goes out."

Gu Yixiang thought for a while, but did not speak. At this moment, Jing Yuanzhen said: "That Mr. Ye is indeed weak, but there is vitality in his eyebrows and eyes, and he is not a short-lived person."

Han Yuxiao asked suspiciously, "I've known you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to have research on physiognomy?"

Jing Yuanzhen smiled, and looked at Yan Xia: "I was interested in a girl once, and that girl has dabbled in these things, so I naturally know something about it."

Yan Xia didn't know who Jing Yuanzhen was talking about, he put down the cup in his hand, and said, "You recognized Yun Xiao in Zhongshui Tower at that time, but you don't know how Mr. Jing knew her?"

Jing Yuan was really lost in memory, his voice was warm, and he said: "When we met in Yanzhou, she was different from other women, so I was naturally curious, but Miss Yunxiao once admired others and took my kindness I was unwilling to reject it, and thought that the person she liked made her plot against her, so I followed her for a while and found that she was interested in this kind of fortune-telling object."

When Yan Xia heard this, she stared at him, Jing Yuan couldn't help but smile, and said, "I've only seen her on the street, and I've only been to Yan's mansion twice, I swear, it's during the daytime."

Yan Xia withdrew his gaze but said in his heart: Although the defense of the Yan Mansion is not impregnable, it is quite rare to be able to break into the Yan Mansion under the blue sky and daylight without being discovered. Yan Xia does not think that Jing Yuan is really lying. Tell him, after all Yunxiao lives in a small courtyard with him.

Jing Yuanzhen sighed that Yunxiao was not here, he picked up the undrinked wine just now, and just about to taste it, Gu Yixiang said: "The girl you mentioned must be a strange woman, who can be favored by Mr. Jing, but I have also heard of a woman recently. According to the story, that woman happened to have the same surname as Miss Yunxiao."

Jing Yuan asked curiously, "What kind of story?"

Gu Yixiang sighed and said: "It's a bloody story. You know Prime Minister Yun Pei, he had a young daughter promised to a high-ranking official, but it's a pity that the girl vowed not to marry to the death, so she jumped from the tower and died in front of the Prime Minister."

Hearing this, Yan Xia felt an inexplicable pain in his heart for some reason. He couldn't help picking up the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass, and took a sip. Tears fell down unconsciously. Han Yuxiao said in surprise: "I know this wine It’s rare, I didn’t expect it to have such an effect.”

Jing Yuanzhen looked at the stunned Yan Xia, and said, "It seems that Mr. Yan has tasted this wine."

Yan Xia put down the cup and said, "Qiulubai, I tasted it a long time ago."

Yan Xia thought of Zhao Heng's life, the wine was so sad and painful, coupled with the story Gu Yixiang told just now, it felt unbearably bitter.

He wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said: "It's nothing, I just remembered one thing, it's not something important, but maybe this Qiulubai tastes really good, no wonder it's so famous."

Yan Xia ignored the weirdness in his heart. He always felt that he had lost something, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Everyone talked about the girl again: "Who did that girl marry to make this beauty fall?"

Gu Yixiang said: "I heard that the surname is Qin, and that person is a man who wants to kill his wife. I heard that he passed the Tanhua exam before and almost became Yushi's son-in-law. As a result, Yushi's daughter was caught by the cold and didn't make it through. The marriage also fell apart. Piao, after that, the daughter of Da Si Nong fell in love with him, and died in the river, and then the name of him beating his wife spread in the martial arts circle."

"Ten years have passed like this. A while ago, it was said that his family members were recruiting for him. Hearing that his fiancée died in the sea of ​​fire, I don't know what the prime minister thought. Doomed."

"But this prime minister is really strange. He is in a high position, and he married a wife quietly. It is even rumored that no one except the Holy One knows who he married. When they heard that he had a young daughter, those big men in the capital They were all shocked."

At this time another person asked: "How do you know this so well?"

Gu Yixiang said indifferently: "I have a friend in the capital who corresponded with me and wrote about this matter. I only knew the news two days earlier. After a while, I'm afraid no one will know about it."

Yan Xia was very sensitive when he heard that the person's surname was Qin. He also heard that the test was Tanhua. After thinking about it, he thought it couldn't be such a coincidence. He silently listened to the man's speech, and after the man finished speaking, he asked: "The person with the surname Qin you mentioned is called Qin Lu."

Gu Yixiang was surprised, and said: "The man's name is Qin Xunyao."

When he finished speaking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, stood up suddenly, and said, "So that's how it is."

Han Yuxiao supported his forehead and said helplessly, "Why are you so surprised? Sit down."

Gu Yixiang sat down obediently, and said word by word: "That man's name is indeed Qin Lv, I just forgot it because of too many things, Xunyao is his name, the third woman Qin Lv married, the one who died in the sea of ​​fire The person is your sister Yan Siyuan."

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, and looked at Yan Xia, who was shaking his wine glass, and said calmly, "It seems that we are talking about the same person."

Gu Yixiang said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Although Gu Yixiang didn't know whether the relationship between Yan Siyuan and Yan Xia was good or bad, but no matter whether it was good or bad, talking about such things at the wine table was tantamount to exposing others.

Yan Xia had an indifferent expression, and said: "But I finally solved the puzzle that puzzled me before. I was thinking before that Qin Lv can be regarded as an official of the imperial court, and his family can be considered a rich family. How much is Mrs. Qin really worth?" I was anxious to let Qin Lu marry a daughter who was tainted and also a martial artist. Perhaps it was because of Qin Luke's wife's name that it was my sister's turn. Yanzhou is too far away from the capital, and Yanzhou is also No one has heard of Qin Luke's wife, so it will end like that in the end."

Yan Xia recalled what Shen Yu had said, and had a guess that Qin Lv had the opportunity to become a high-ranking official, becoming under one person and above ten thousand people, and the matter of restraining his wife might not be important to the prime minister. The prime minister paid more attention to his promotion. He saw Qin Lu's potential, so he betrothed his youngest daughter to Qin Lu. Since his youngest daughter lived in the capital for a long time, Qin Lu's affairs may have been familiar to him, so she used death The prime minister was rejected.

Yan Xia figured out these sources, feeling sorry for Qin Lv inexplicably. She always felt that he was a little too unlucky, but after guessing, she felt something strange. She always felt that the death of Qin Lv's various fiancées was not simple, such as Yan Siyuan, she There was no death at all, she just chose to abandon everything in the Yan family.

Gu Yixiang quickly poured wine for Qin Lv, took another glass to apologize, and said, "I'm the one who has a long tongue."

Yan Xia drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Forget it, we're here to taste wine, not to argue about right or wrong, please sit down."

Gu Yixiang glanced at Han Yuxiao, sat down obediently, and said to his brother, "The wine is really delicious."

Han Yuxiao smiled and said: "This wine has been preserved here for a hundred years, so it is naturally very good. If you like it, drink more."

Gu Yixiang looked very well-behaved, sat down silently and didn't speak anymore, just drank another cup, Han Yuxiao said helplessly: "Although this is good, it has great stamina, there will be a second competition tomorrow, don't drink too much. "

Gu Yixiang also participated in today's martial arts conference, and he survived the first round.

He smiled and said, "Of course I won't drink too much. Even if I drink too much, senior brother, you will wake me up."

Han Yuxiao gave him a shudder with the fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "So you treated me like a servant and told you to get up. If you don't get up, then don't go to participate."

Gu Yixiang rubbed her head, smiled casually, and said, "Brother, you will definitely call me."

Seeing this, Yan Xia felt that the relationship between their seniors and brothers was really good, and they got along like family members. Looking at the two of them, he looked outside the door, thinking of Shen Yu who was hundreds of miles away. He savored this feeling, Not only thinking like crazy, but also worrying about gains and losses.

The young man at the table respected Yan Xia: "Your competition today is really exciting."

Yan Xia recalled that this person performed very well on stage, and said, "Don't dare, everyone is from a famous family. I really learned a lot today." What Yan Xia said was not against his will at all, he did learn a lot of.

The young man smiled and toasted a glass of wine. He took a sip and approached with a gentle smile without saying a word.

Afterwards, there were staggered cups of wine on the table, and the lights were brightly lit. After drinking a few glasses of wine, everyone began to relax and talk about whose competition was more exciting today. Yan Xia was listening, and Gu Yixiang moved to his side to explain these things to him Relationship, Yan Xia understands all kinds of people, and understands this martial arts school a step further.

When the crowd dispersed, Han Yuxiao said to Yan Xia, "Will you come with me to see the shore of Luoshui?"

Yan Xia could see that Han Yuxiao had other meanings in saying this, so he said, "Okay."

He saw that Jing Yuanzhen and Gu Yixiang were also waiting at the side, so he also strode over there, and when he came to a place, it was a river running through the shore of Luoshui, and there was a small boat on the bank with a fisherman on it, wait for them.

The four of them got into the small boat, there was only one bright light on the small boat, the fisherman started paddling, they watched the shore of Luoshui in the river, Han Yuxiao said: "Brother Yan, do you mind inviting you here so late?"

Yan Xia replied: "It can be seen that Brother Han is sincere, so naturally I have to come."

Han Yuxiao said: "My father-in-law will send us to the place where we should go tomorrow. It's not bad to meet here tonight."

Yan Xia looked to both sides. Recently, a martial arts conference was held on the shore of Luoshui. There were bright lights in front of many people's doors, and the lights were warm. It reflected here like daytime. Yan Xia sat on a small boat and walked along the river to see the entire shore of Luoshui. On the river bank, there are young children playing, talking and laughing, and there are many flowers on it, falling flowers, pavilions and pavilions, and it seems that there are hawkers shouting on it, which is very lively.

Yan Xia said with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be so lively today."

Han Yuxiao was playing with the fan in his hand, his face was full of amusement, and he said, "We're going to the Haike Banquet soon, so naturally it will be more lively."

Yan Xia responded, and suddenly remembered that there were many lovers traveling at the Haike Banquet, he thought: Will he and Shen Yu be together this time for the Haike Banquet?

He looked up at the sky, the sky was dotted with stars, twinkling brightly, suddenly a star flashed across the starry sky, and disappeared in an instant, Yan Xia had an inexplicable pain in his heart, but he didn't know the source.

Han Yuxiao smiled and said, "Let's just stay here tonight. Not everyone can enjoy the heaven and earth by the Luoshui River."

Yan Xia said seriously, "Thank you."

Yan Xia knew that maybe something would happen tonight, Han Yuxiao left him here, even if something happened, he could prove that there was no connection here, after all, Yan Xia was carrying the malice left by Yan Mingzhou, and a small mistake would be a big deal. Maybe it will push him into the abyss below morality.

Han Yuxiao also looked at the endless sky, and waved his hands after hearing this, and said: "It's okay, I hate the moment of the common people, and lament the journey of all things, these words are really good, only when you are in it, can you feel your own insignificance, why should Mr. Yan thank me?" Well, you should be thankful to yourself, if you hadn’t been able to get Xizhen to admit it, maybe you wouldn’t have stayed on the shore of Luoshui safely, and naturally you wouldn’t have stayed on this small boat.”

Yan Xia responded, seeing that Gu Yixiang was already sleepy and fell asleep in the corner of the boat.

Jing Yuanzhen has also been meditating and resting, his expression is calm, the washing boat has no effect on him at all, and he even has a feeling of "I am naturally independent between heaven and earth", Yan Xia thought: Even if he and Han Yuxiao are both prodigal sons, But the strength is also difficult for everyone to match.

So Yan Xia also started to meditate, digesting what he felt and learned today. At this time, the night was long and the sound gradually died down.
