Big dream 18 years

This idea is really whimsical and unreasonable, Ji Shuliu shook his head secretly, laughing at himself for not being able to make more friends, and actually wanting to turn his buddies into girls to marry and take home for exclusive use.

The banquet ended amidst laughter and laughter, and Qin Songming and Qian Rui personally sent the three of Lu Bing's family back to the guest room.Qin Songfeng fell behind, and when only Sun Chengxiu and Ji Shuliu were left in the room, he said, "Chengxiu, you should stop looking for You Jinbao."

Sun Chengxiu looked up and waited for him to explain, he continued: "They didn't say that I almost forgot, You Jinbao is also a prostitute, you are not married yet, it's not good to go to him to settle accounts and spread the word."

Sun Chengxiu laughed: "That's true, but how did you just remember?"

Qin Songfeng took it for granted: "I never thought you were a woman."

Sun Chengxiu laughed, and in the middle of the laugh, his face suddenly became serious: "Second brother, I really want to abolish him. I just heard a few days ago that a girl I had escorted before was also ruined by him, and then she committed suicide. That girl is not familiar with me, but she is very nice."

Qin Songfeng stared at her without saying a word for a moment, saw her firm eyes, and finally said: "Forget it, if you really want to go, go. But try not to take the lead in this matter, and don't waste time with him alone, try to find someone Trusted acquaintances stay with you to take care of each other."

Maybe because he just drank a lot of wine, Sun Chengxiu curled his lips stubbornly: "I know that the girl was not killed by him, but by people's words. But people's words can't kill me, so I'm not afraid of him."

Qin Songfeng sighed slightly: "You can think this way when you have to, but you might as well pay attention to it at ordinary times. Of course people's words can't kill you, but you have a good reputation, and it will be easier to do good things in the future."

Sun Chengxiu sat aside dejectedly: "Yes... I understand."

"Then you should rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow." After Qin Songfeng finished speaking, he pulled Ji Shuliu out the door.He seemed to be tired easily because of his injuries, so he put his hands on Ji Shuliu's shoulders all the way, which made Ji Shuliu feel very good, as if he could be relied on.

"Miss Sun is really chivalrous." Ji Shuliu said without words.

Qin Songfeng glanced at him, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "She has been upright since she was a child, and now she has nothing to worry about. I also hope that she can make a name for herself in the world."

Ji Shuliu rubbed his eyes, but didn't understand the meaning of Qin Songfeng's smile. Could it be that it was too dark and he misread it?

The next day, Lu Bing's family left under the escort of Sun Chengxiu, Liu Junwen and others, and life at Qiyan Villa gradually returned to normal.

Ji Shuliu continued to teach after a few days of recuperation. Two older children followed their father to the rivers and lakes, and two younger children joined in to learn from scratch.Qin Songfeng is still the same, usually practicing martial arts and teaching his disciples, and occasionally going out to meet friends with martial arts or help others to persuade and make peace.Qian Rui set out to find the employer behind Rouge Ghost, but it seemed that there was no progress.

For Ji Shuliu, the biggest change is that Qin Songfeng's sister-in-law and several nephews have become common, instead of always hiding in the small courtyard west of Qiyan Villa as before.

The eldest, Qin Xue, is 14 years old. He studied business with his father, and also learned martial arts from Qin Songfeng in his spare time; At the age of half, he can walk, run around, and everyone loves him. Qin Li likes to watch Qin Songfeng teach Qin how to practice martial arts, but Qin Wen prefers to listen to Ji Shuliu teach those children.

Perhaps with a little guilt, Mrs. Wu became more enthusiastic, and often sent soup and cakes to Qin Songfeng and Qin Xue who were practicing martial arts, and the family seemed to be happy.

One and a half months later, one day Qin Songfeng came to Ji Shuliu with a letter: "Chengxiu has sent you a letter, you should also read what is said in the letter."

Ji Shuliu rubbed his head, feeling something was wrong.Qin Songfeng doesn't often mention Sun Chengxiu to him, but when he mentions it, he always looks at him with a strange smile, and this time is no exception.But when he saw what was said in the letter, those doubts were immediately thrown behind him.

The letter was written to Qin Songfeng, detailing the whole story of You Jinbao's battle.

You Jinbao is greedy by nature, and all he likes is beauty and treasures, and Sun Chengxiu is the only girl among the gangsters who meet to kill evil, so despite being warned by Qin Songfeng, she still pretends to be the daughter of an ordinary family, pretending that her relatives are seriously ill, Selling a few "family heirlooms" on the street to lure You into the treasure, and hiding in a remote ruined temple for the night.

After a few days like this, You Jinbao followed her to a secluded place in the evening, intending to humiliate others first and then seize the treasure.

In order to prevent You Jinbao from becoming suspicious, she didn't bring a knife on her body, but resisted with her bare hands, leading You Jinbao to the nearest ambush.Unexpectedly, when she ran to the agreed place, the people who were ambushing there disappeared.

She immediately fled to the ruined temple where she lived, trying to lure You Jinbao into an ambush on the other side, but not only was there no one in the ruined temple, even her hidden saber was not in place.She could no longer conceal her martial arts, so she could only fight back against You Jinbao who was holding a weapon with her bare hands. She fought from inside the temple to outside the temple, and finally took his weapon away with all her strength.Until then, her companions rushed here following the sound of fighting, restrained You Jinbao, and abolished their martial arts.

Afterwards, it was discovered that one of the group of people named Zheng Huan lied that You Jinbao had already attacked elsewhere, and diverted the ambushing people on both sides away, and Sun Chengxiu's knife was hidden on the roof of the ruined temple at some point. hands down.Then Zheng Huan took advantage of the chaos to leave, and everyone searched for a long time but couldn't find it. So far, it is not known whether he wanted to save You Jinbao, or deliberately wanted to harm Sun Chengxiu.

That's the end of what was said in the letter, Ji Shu lingered and shouted dangerously: "Miss Sun, are you okay?"

"The junior brother who sent the letter said that she was only slightly injured. This letter made me want to beat her up."

"Hit who?"

"Of course it's Sun Chengxiu. I blame her for being disobedient. I told her to find an acquaintance to take care of her but she didn't."

Ji Shuliu reminded: "Men can't beat women."

Qin Songfeng smiled and said, "Let me just say it casually, what are you in a hurry for?" Before Ji Shuliu could deny it, he put away his smile, "That Zheng Huan's background is mysterious, no one even knows about his master, senior brother Qian and I are investigating him."

Ji Shuliu frowned deeply and thought for a while, then asked softly, "Does the ambush you encountered last year and this year have anything to do with Zuizunbao?"

Qin Songfeng looked at his face: "I don't know either. According to common sense, if they want to make trouble, they should seek revenge from the person who took the lead in attacking Zuizunbao. How could they come to kill me? Even if they come to kill me, they should do it themselves to show off their might , How could it be reduced to buying murder? Only the poison of Duan Hun Jie is hard to explain, but the poison of Drunken Sun Fort may also leak out."

Ji Shuliu's pressure eased slightly, he closed his eyes, and said with difficulty: "I already consider myself a member of Chisumen."

He knew in his heart that although the sentence was true, it was not complete.He already regards himself as a member of the Chisu family. There are his close friends, brothers, and students here, who give him a chance to settle down, but Li Xiao is still the elder brother he has looked up to for 18 years, and even serves as a parent.

As long as it is not confirmed that Zuishibao intends to hurt Qin Songfeng, he can procrastinate with peace of mind and never tell the truth about Li Xiao's "corpse".

Never measure the importance of the closest relatives and best friends.

■

When the winter solstice is approaching, the weather is cold.Ji Shuliu moved a large and heavy screen into the bedroom, kept the heat from the stove at the bedside, and kept the cold air leaking in from the crack of the door at the outside. Unless it was necessary for teaching, he seldom went out, and he didn't bother with swordsmanship or calligraphy. practice.

Because of the continuous snowfall in the past two days, the children only did their homework at home. Ji Shuliu got up late and went to bed early, and just curled up in bed to read a book when he woke up in the morning, with two quilts around his body, one in front and the other behind his back.

There are very few books in Qiyan Villa, and a small half of them were newly added by Ji Shuliu with his saved wages. In the past, Wu bought some for his second son Qin Xiu's examination, but they were nothing more than annotations of scriptures for imperial examinations, which were not suitable for him. idle reading.

Ji Shuliu read the book for a while, then looked up at the bare screen in a daze, remembering that Li Xiao used to be quite elegant, and the screens he used had paintings with good moods.Li Xiao has also read a lot of books, and he is unable to teach himself until he is 12 years old. He invited a gentleman who knows a lot of miscellaneous things to continue teaching.Why does he understand so many truths, but he can kill people without blinking an eye, and dig out his heart and lungs at will?

Ji Shuliu smiled wryly. He hadn't thought about Zuizunbao for a long time, but today he was hurt because of an ordinary screen. It's ridiculous.

Just as he was about to continue studying, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, but before he answered, Qin Songfeng opened the door and walked around the screen to his bedside, followed by Qian Rui.

Ji Shuliu was a little embarrassed, he hadn't been seen by anyone other than Qin Songfeng before he retracted into the quilt, so he hurriedly pushed away and stood up.Before he could put on his shoes, Qin Songfeng said in a deep voice: "You simply clean up. Let's go to Pei Yongguo's Bixiao Villa in the afternoon. Brother Qian will also go, and Junwen will stay to look after the house."

Just as Ji Shuliu lifted his shoes and straightened his waist, he suddenly had a strong sense of foreboding: "What happened?"

"On the surface, the people who escaped from Zuishi Fort suddenly attacked and killed four people who attacked Zuishi Fort back then. One of them was wiped out. Xuan Chongzi and Pei Yongguo called a group of people to Bixiao Villa to discuss countermeasures. Secretly," Qin Songfeng lowered his voice, "You have to go there, Taoist Xuan Chongzi was poisoned by Qian Qiuzui, do you have any antidote left?"

Ji Shuliu was confused for a moment before he understood what Qin Songfeng was saying: "There are still a few more." Not only is Qianqiuzui difficult to cure, but it is also difficult to prepare the antidote. If it takes too long to prepare after poisoning, it will cause greater damage to the body.

"Then let's set off as soon as possible, and try to hide as much as possible, so as not to be blocked by people who know." Qin Songfeng turned to look at Qian Rui after finishing speaking.

Qian Rui took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "The Wudang faction has taken Qu Ze to Bixiao Villa, and they intend to use him as bait. I'm worried, so I'll take a look."

Ji Shuliu froze all over, and asked blankly, "Will they kill Fifth Brother Qu for revenge?"

Qian Rui clenched his fist uncharacteristically and said fiercely, "I won't agree."

Ji Shuliu pursed her lips tightly: "As long as possible, I will protect him. I always regard him as my elder."

Qin Songfeng reassured: "Don't worry, Baidao won't do it easily. Brother Qu has never killed anyone on Baidao, he was imprisoned by the Wudang faction, and he can't be blamed for the fish that slipped through the net in Zuishi Castle. If If you want to kill him like this, even the disciples of Drunken Sun Castle who have quit their jobs will be in danger." He patted Ji Shuliu on the shoulder, "Go on the road after packing up, and we'll talk about the rest when we arrive. No need here Worried, I have arranged for the best disciples of my martial arts to take turns to be vigilant."

Ji Shuliu turned out the acupuncture needles and a bunch of antidotes and held them in his hands, nodding slowly with a heavy expression.

Starting from Qiyan Mountain Villa, one day and one night at full speed, you can walk to the foot of the mountain where Bixiao Mountain Villa is located.Hand over the horse to the steward of the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and walk up the steps quickly for an hour and a half before reaching the gate of Bixiao Villa halfway up the mountain.

The courtyard wall is tall, the gate is pitch-black, only the top of the wall is covered with thick snow.Following the guidance of the servant, step into the gate and bypass the screen wall, only to see a refreshing world covered with ice and snow.The houses in the villa are simple and uncrafted, but the simple rockery and frozen small ponds have been carefully arranged, and there are winding paths leading to secluded places.

Not long after entering the door, the owner Pei Yongguo greeted him personally.The owner of the village is about forty years old, with a high crown and a broad robe, his gestures are elegant and unrestrained, and there is a hint of sadness hidden between his sparse eyebrows. He is quite an eye-catching handsome man.Ji Shuliu couldn't help but glance at Qin Songfeng, thinking that although Qin Songfeng's appearance was more handsome, his demeanor seemed rough compared to this person.But Pei Yongguo's airy appearance as if he would ride the wind away at any time makes people feel completely intimidated. I'm afraid he is not as forthright and calm as Qin Songfeng, and can make many friends.

"Welcome if you are lost, please forgive me. Please come with me." Pei Yongguo spoke in a gentle and calm manner.He waved his sleeves, the servant stepped back and let him lead the way himself.

"This is the map of the courtyard of our villa, please keep it carefully by the second sect master of Qin." Pei Yongguo walked to a secluded place, covered it with the sleeve of his robe, and put a folded piece of paper into Qin Songfeng's hands, his solemn gaze stayed on Qin Songfeng's face for a moment , "There are 64 houses in our villa that can receive guests. Each house has two rooms for people to live in. The three of you will share a house. Every other day, I would like to trouble all friends from the rivers and lakes to change their residences. How to change is as follows The lottery arrangement is to prevent Drunken Sun Castle from finding a weak point to hurt people secretly."

Qin Songfeng praised: "Brother Pei is really thorough."

The three of them followed him to the backyard and walked into one of the houses that were similar with minor differences. Xuan Chongzi was lying unconscious on the bed in the inner room, guarded by two people, one of whom was a young Wudang Taoist priest, and the other was Wang Hu, who jumped out and grabbed Ji Shuliu's scolding during the Battle of Drunken Sun Fort.Feeling guilty, Ji Shuliu didn't dare to look into Wang Hu's eyes. He stepped forward and unbuttoned Xuan Chongzi's skirt and stabbed a few acupuncture points lightly with silver needles. Xuan Chongzi quickly opened his eyes.

"The Taoist priest was poisoned by Qianqiu's drunkenness. This is the antidote. Put it under your tongue and dissolve it." Ji Shuliu poured out one antidote, and after thinking about it, he poured out three more and handed it to Xuan Chongzi, "Every time Take one at this time of the day, for four consecutive days, the toxicity can be eliminated. I still put a copy of the antidote here with the Taoist priest, just in case."

When Xuan Chongzi just woke up, he still couldn't keep his eyes open. After putting the antidote under his tongue, his eyes quickly recovered. He sat up and smiled, "You came here specially? It's been hard work."

Pei Yongguo said behind Ji Shuliu: "Zuiri Fortress has recently retaliated aggressively, poisoning the case, and doing everything possible. Since Young Master Ji is here, if another friend from the world is unfortunately poisoned, it is up to you to rescue him. Please also ask Qin Second Sect Leader be careful, the remnants of Zuizun Castle have long lost their consciences, so it is hard to say that they will not bear the grudge against Young Master Ji for obstructing the poisonous plan and killing him."

Ji Shuliu was shocked when he heard this sentence, he lowered his eyes and dared not look directly at Xuan Chongzi.In case someone is poisoned again, it is impossible for him to refuse to save him, but if the leader of the other party is Li Xiao, will he turn around and eradicate himself to avoid future troubles?Conversely, will the person he rescued kill Li Xiao?

He ignored the words of several people in his worries, but then, Xuan Chongzi's serious tone drew his mind back: "...you must be careful, the person who attacked me with poisonous arrows was precise and powerful, even if it wasn't a sneak attack... , I think there is only a [-]% to [-]% certainty of defeating him. There may be a master hidden in Zuizun Castle who can not lose to Li Xiao, Shang Tongtian and Qu Ze."
