Lu Bing lived in Jingping Garden, which was located in a remote place on the outskirts of the county town. The houses inside were well-organized and repaired in a timely manner.The garden has a simple terrain, mainly houses, with only a small backyard, and there is a small pond in it, where some swimming fish are raised.

Qin Songfeng put down his luggage, took Liu Junwen and Ji Shuliu around the garden first, and finally walked into the backyard.He asked Liu Junwen: "If you were from Drunken Sun Fort, how would you plan to fight this battle?"

Liu Junwen scratched his head in bewilderment like a schoolboy who was admitted, and asked tentatively, "Could it be possible to dig a hole and come in from the backyard?"

Qin Songfeng smiled, pointed to the pond and said: "There are no trees here, and the water is shallow. Even if you find top killers to sneak in, it's hard to hide your whereabouts. It's not easy to use traitors. Let's have a bite this time." It’s a wise idea, not only are the people who come here have a family and a job, it’s more reliable, but also specially arrange for people who live close to each other to watch each other.”

"Then what else can Zuishi Fort do?"

"I don't know either." Qin Songfeng moved his gaze from the calm water to the mountains outside the wall, "But if I were Shang Tongtian, I would take a group of people to hide in those mountains, and find a chance to fight in directly, head-on."

The nearby mountains are neither high nor short, full of miscellaneous trees, and it is early autumn. Although the leaves are not as lush as in summer, they are enough to cover people's shadows.

Liu Junwen was terrified: "Then shouldn't we search the mountain carefully?"

"There are so few people, it's better to get together here to defend."

The three of them turned back to their residence from the backyard while talking.Adjacent to them was Ji Ping and his wife, and Wang Hu on the other side. This arrangement meant that Wang Hu could monitor the actions of the Chisu Gate. Naturally, the Chisu Gate was also responsible for monitoring Wang Hu.

Qin Songfeng opened the door, put his hand on Ji Shuliu's shoulder and said, "After you go in, try not to come out again. If someone is poisoned, they will come here to look for you."

Before Ji Shuliu could answer, he suddenly heard a burst of hearty chatting and laughing, and someone had just arrived at Jingping Garden, looking around in groups.The group of people passed by here and came to say hello one after another. Xuan Chongzi was also among them. Qin Songfeng immediately went up to discuss business matters with Xuan Chongzi.

Someone saw Ji Shuliu, and half-jokingly said to Liu Junwen: "This kid is dishonest, Second Brother Qin is too busy, you have to watch him closely, you are the only one to ask what tricks he plays again."

Liu Junwen's lightness kung fu has improved by leaps and bounds recently, ranking second in Chisumen, but his swordsmanship is only average, and he is not Ji Shuliu's opponent.He didn't take it seriously, he laughed aloud when he heard this and got away with it, but an old man with white beard and hair and a ruddy complexion squinted at the speaker and said, "Nonsense, Xiao Shuliu is an honest boy."

After hearing the words, Ji Shuliu recognized this old man as Dou Qing, the famous "Old Dragon in the Waves". He was poisoned by Zuizunbao three years ago. to heal him.

The person who was refuted was dissatisfied: "Last year he knelt down to Wei Kaishan."

"If you are dishonest, can you still kneel in front of you?" Dou Laolong was still grinning, "This kid values ​​love and righteousness. My old man can trust him. Don't worry, he will still live up to our Bai Dao's friendship."

Ji Shuliu whispered, "Thank you, Grandpa Dou."

Qin Songfeng was inquiring about the situation in the garden with Xuan Chongzi, so he didn't pay attention to this side.Although Zhou Tai had already married Lu Bing in-laws ahead of time by mistake, he didn't come to seek asylum this time. Instead, he called many friends from the world who didn't want to get involved in Zui Ribao's affairs to help him at home, pretending that no one would offend him. I am not a prisoner; Lu Yuyan stayed in Jingping Garden with her parents.So this time, what needs to be protected in Jingping Garden is Lu Bing's family of three and a dozen trusted old servants.

The residences of all the Jianghu people are densely packed, surrounding the Lu family in the middle, and most of the visitors are masters who can be counted. Lu Bing did not make a fuss about changing residences. .

After inquiring, Qin Songfeng discussed his possible weak position with Xuan Chongzi fascinatedly. Xuan Chongzi occasionally refuted, but most of them nodded in approval.

After everyone dispersed, the three of Chisumen returned to their rooms to clean up. Qin Songfeng still arranged for Ji Shuliu to sleep in one room with him, and Liu Junwen to sleep in the other room.The two of them haven't lived together since the warm weather this spring, and they can only get together secretly in the middle of the night if they want to make out, which is very inconvenient.Although at this moment the enemy cannot be overly affectionate, even if they just eat and live together and take care of each other, there is warmth in it.

While Liu Junwen went to another room, Ji Shuliu whispered to Qin Songfeng: "You are different today."

"What's different, it's fun to live with you?"

"Hey, be obedient, and it won't be too late to make jokes after the business is finished."

Qin Songfeng stood opposite Ji Shuliu, with the distance between his face and his face not more than a foot, and asked seriously: "What do you want to say? Just say it."

"In the past, except when you drew your sword in front of the enemy, you usually only used your strength and didn't use your wisdom. You were rarely so serious. I have never seen you discuss strategies with the person in charge."

"You talk about this." Qin Songfeng glanced at the Yanlai sword on his waist, "I want to kill Shang Tongtian with my own hands, of course I have to be more careful than usual."

"revenge?"

"This hatred is irreconcilable and must be avenged."

Ji Shuliu firmly held Qin Songfeng's hand, nodded solemnly.

The two made the bed, lay down to take a nap together, and never let go of their hand.

After waking up, Qin Songfeng stared at Fang Liang and said: "I've been thinking about revenge these two days, and I dreamed of my mother when I fell asleep." The voice was low, and there was no sadness or joy.

"She must be gentle?"

"She has a lively personality, and she is always beaming when she talks to me and tells stories. She likes to make me laugh the most." There is a hint of warmth in Qin Songfeng's eyes, "Every time she wants to teach me something, she always uses a tone of discussion to show weakness. I don’t dare not to listen, I always feel like I’m bullying her if I don’t go along with her. She is the only one around me who hasn’t practiced martial arts, and I have regarded her as the person who should be protected since I was a child.”

Ji Shuliu said slowly: "Although the gathering is short, if there are mostly laughter, it is also very precious."

"That's right, so I don't blame her for abandoning me. When I was a child, the door was much more deserted than it is now, except that she was only one woman, aunt. Aunt rarely saw her, because when she saw her, she thought of her dead sister, sad; man I can't even see her, for fear of suspicion. If she is trapped in my house, she will have to live alone with me for the rest of her life, which is so boring. "

"When you were seven or eight years old, you already knew a lot of things. You have grown into such a good person now, and it is also due to her. I saw you too hastily last year. If there is a chance in the future, I should follow you to pay homage to this mother-in-law."

"Then I'll go see your parents too. But my mother is eclectic. It's okay for you to call her mother-in-law, but I dare not call your parents-in-law father-in-law..."

Ji Shuliu quickly said: "You can call your in-laws!" While Qin Songfeng didn't answer, he kissed him firmly.



Qin Songfeng's lightness skills, martial arts skills, and experience are all top-notch. Whether it's investigating the enemy's situation, strengthening defenses, or discussing countermeasures, there are places where he can be used. From the second day he came, almost every day is full of things to do.But Ji Shuliu can't go out, he can only hide in the house to study, and one of Ji Ping and his wife and Liu Junwen must stay in charge of guarding.

He was in a good mood, because people came here to visit him one after another, except for Dou Laolong, there were also a few other poisoned people who were cured by him in the past. These people all expressed their trust in his character, which moved him very much.

Everything seemed to be peaceful, except that the leaves fell more and more, and the ones left on the trees turned yellow a lot.

One day, Qin Songfeng came back at night and told him that there are more rumors in the world now: Like the monk Tongtian, Li Xiao who died in the battle of Zuizunbao was also a stand-in; Li Xiao himself was seriously injured in the previous battle and lost most of his skills. Unable to recover, Shang Tongtian has already taken power away.

This rumor is groundless and fabricated by Xuan Chongzi himself, to prevent the direct disclosure of the news that Li Xiao is not dead from affecting the morale of Bai Dao, and also to prevent Bai Dao from being too frightened when Li Xiao suddenly stands up.

When Ji Shuliu heard the last sentence, he silently hugged Qin Songfeng and leaned his face on his shoulder.

"So it's good not to let you go out." Qin Songfeng could only comfort him in this way, "If you meet him, no matter what you do, it will be wrong."

"I'm not afraid of being wrong, I'm just afraid... I'm afraid of too many things." Ji Shuliu relaxed his body for a moment and leaned on Qin Songfeng's body, then straightened up, pressed Qin Songfeng's shoulders with both hands, and faced Qin Songfeng's. His face and voice calmed down, "But you are here, I will never be afraid to the end. Leave me alone, take care of yourself, and do your best to avenge you."

They slept together in the same bed for the night, and it was Qin Songfeng's turn to rest the next day.In the afternoon, Lu Shan and Sun Chengxiu from the Spirit Snake Gang came to discuss martial arts together, talking and gesticulating with great interest, until the sky turned dark, they still couldn't get enough of it.

At this time, a few acquaintances came to talk, and the head of the Spirit Snake Gang, Tao, also came to look for the junior brother, so they simply got together to have dinner together.It has been less than a year since Sun Chengxiu defeated Gao Yi, and everyone praised her a lot in words, and complimented Qin Songfeng for his extraordinary talent. At the age of only a teenager, Sun Chengxiu was taught to such a level with only a book of swords left by his deceased father. .Qin Songfeng smiled and said: "That's because she worked hard on her own. When she was at my house, she either found a place to practice by herself, or asked me to ask questions. In the end, she asked a question and I had to think for several days before I could answer it. I also learned a lot from her."

In addition, Lu Shan, who joined forces with head Zhao to defeat Qi Bo, also received a lot of praise.Although Qi Bo's martial arts is not as good as his cousin Gao Yi, he is equally good at it. Moreover, Lu Shan is cowardly and stutters. Except for Qin Songfeng and others who often spar with him, no one would have thought that he is really good at it. Not revealing.Lu Shan's face flushed when he heard this, and he kept his humble words in his mouth, and Ai Ai didn't explain clearly for a long time.

Leader Tao was neglected and his younger brother robbed him of the limelight, he seemed a bit embarrassed; Ji Shuliu ate alone, no one picked him out and scolded him, so he was very relaxed.

In order to prevent mistakes, there was not a drop of wine in Jingping Garden, and the meal was finished quickly, and everyone left in groups.Ji Shuliu hasn't stepped out of the room for several days, and at this moment, he is also going out with Qin Songfeng to see off the guests. Although he can't go far, at least he can look at the sky and let the wind go.

There are not many other things here, but swings and other things for playing can be seen everywhere. On the swing closest to the door, there is a woman swinging back and forth, swinging low and not stable at all; Three men stood by.Taking a closer look, it was Lu Yuyan who was playing on the swing, and Ji Ping accompanied her mother from left to right to help gently push her. The other three men were also Jianghu people who were in charge of protecting their mother and daughter today.

Lu Yuyan had a rough laugh, her face was round and red, although she didn't swing well, she obviously had a good time.

Another group of two people came to meet him, they were Wang Hu and a buddy with whom he had a good relationship.When his buddies saw Lu Yuyan, they immediately yelled: "Why did you let this stupid girl out again? She is stupid and you are also stupid? Have you seen less methods of destroying people in Zuizunbao?"

Ji Ping explained: "It's not necessarily safe to be in the house. She hasn't been out of the house for several days, and she almost suffocated. Daochang Li happened to be here today, so let her out for a while." Daochang Li is also a Wudang sect A master, with an indifferent personality, never showing up to take charge, but his martial arts are as trustworthy as Xuan Chongzi.

"Little fool, a lot of trouble."

Lu Yuyan stepped back on the ground with one foot, supported the swing rope and said, "You are the fool."

"Who are you yelling at?" Wang Hu, who had a bad temper, immediately glared at Lu Yuyan.Lu Yuyan turned pale with fright, quickly hid behind Ji Ping, and hugged her waist tightly.

"You're fine, don't scare the little girl!" Wang Hu dragged his buddies away.

"Yo, you kid also have moments of pity and tenderness? Are you moved?" His buddies joked indifferently.

Wang Hu said lightly: "My wife was also pregnant with a girl back then, if she can be raised, she will not be much younger than her."

His buddies quickly apologized, Wang Hu patted his buddies on the shoulder to express that he was fine, but stared at Ji Shuliu and asked in a low voice, "My wife died before the baby was born, so why do you think I knew she was pregnant with a girl?" Shu Liu didn't dare to look at him, he asked himself and answered, "Because Li Xiao cut open my wife's stomach and dug out my daughter."

Ji Shuliu's heart was shaken violently, he felt that there seemed to be an invisible burden weighing down him, and he couldn't even say an apology.

Wang Hu spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm at him, but it's a pity that even though he was so guilty, he still avoided it.Wang Hu didn't bother much, he sneered, and pulled his buddies away together.

Qin Songfeng put a hand on Ji Shuliu's shoulder, and said to the others: "Brother Wang deliberately lowered his voice just now so that Miss Lu would not hear him. He did the right thing. We should pay more attention in the future." Everyone nodded and said Yes, to dispel the heaviness just now.

Lu Yuyan's rough laughter came from the swing again. She quickly forgot the fear just now and pushed her mother onto the swing.Her mother was very old, so she swayed a little bit, and hurried down; she pushed Ji Ping up again.Ji Ping is very skilled, and she can swing very high without her pushing. Lu Yuyan clapped her hands happily: "Uncle Ji is really amazing!" She still deliberately turned men and women against each other.

While playing, she caught a glimpse of Qin Songfeng and others, and ran over here.She no longer remembers Ji Shuliu, she only knows Qin Songfeng best, dragging Qin Songfeng to play on the swing with him.

Qin Songfeng refused to go up, thought for a while, pointed to the silver bracelet on her wrist and said, "Lend me this."

Lu Yuyan took off the bracelet and handed it to him without hesitation.Qin Songfeng tossed it casually, and hung it on a nearby branch that was as tall as two people.

"and then?"

Qin Songfeng smiled, stretched out a hand to cover his eyes, barely bent his knees, stood up on tiptoe, took it off accurately and returned it to Lu Yuyan: "Look, it's back."

He moved neatly without any tricks, Lu Yuyan couldn't see the subtleties in it, she just smirked and said: "You jump really high, sister Qin, you can fly!"

After playing reluctantly for a while, she finally left under the coaxing of her mother and Ji Ping, and everyone dispersed.Qin Songfeng and Ji Shuliu hooked up shoulder to shoulder and went back to the house together like buddies. When they reached the door, the whole Jingping Garden suddenly reverberated with a voice full of vigor and inner strength, from which it could not be heard: "Within a month, there will be no one among you!" There must be one less person. I am - Li Xiao."
