Brother listens to orders

Mr. Kang frowned and said: "Get up, the man has gold under his knees."

Hua Jinshuang went to help Cheng Qianshu, Cheng Qianshu raised his hand to block his hand, and said frankly: "Compared to the Cheng family being framed and the father's unjust death, what's the point of kneeling? If a man's self-esteem is used in such a place, isn't the cart before the horse? "

Hua Jinshuang suddenly remembered what his father had said to Cheng Qianshu a few days ago, unexpectedly Cheng Qianshu also listened to it under such circumstances, and his heart was immediately moved.

Mr. Kang looked up and down the young man's eyes in some surprises. He remembered something, and the expression on his face softened slightly. He nodded and said, "That's right, he is very affectionate. Get up."

Cheng Qianshu stood up this time, but instead of sitting down, he just looked at Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang said: "It is said that this matter is related to your Cheng family, but my Kang family has no relationship with you, why bother to get into this muddy water? In fact, this matter is related to Quan Wulin. After all, it's just that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." Reasonable. My Kang family has been fighting with the Hua family for so many years, and I also see it away when I'm old. I will start doing business next time, and I gradually intend to withdraw from the martial arts world, so I don't want to interfere any more."

"It's just that Ning Xin has a stubborn temper. He insisted on snatching the title of number one in the martial arts world. I had already seen it off, but I couldn't bear to disobey him. The young man is full of vigor, so he has to make it on his own. After all, I am very relieved that the martial arts of the Kang family still has someone to pass on."

"For him, and for the former martial arts—You young people don't understand, how many famous masters have been produced in our generation, and in the previous generation? At that time, everyone in the world was brothers and friends. All over the world, as long as you claim your name, there will always be people who will look at you highly. Those famous Jianghu sects have contributed a lot to the court. When the battle with Youzhaoren was the worst, the opponent almost broke into the capital. Everyone in the royal city ran away, the little emperor was incompetent, and the courtiers were vying to betray the country. Who stood up at that time? How many respected seniors of the Wulin sect died in that battle..."

Hua Jinshuang's blood boiled when he heard it, as if he saw the banners of the various sects held high in the bloody battle, with different totem badges on them, gathered under the gate of the capital, desperately protecting the last line of defense, and waiting for reinforcements.

The white bones floating in the sea of ​​blood, the crows hovering above the head, and the thunder and lightning peeking out from the black clouds, it is the heroic spirit of the Jianghu people who would rather die than submit, which frightened Youzhao people and even forced them to retreat.

"I know about that battle." Cheng Qianshu grew up in the barracks, so he has naturally heard the story passed down by word of mouth, "It was that battle that caused a serious breakdown in the major sects in the world, and a few minor sects were even more direct. Almost all the respected seniors died in that battle, and many famous masters also died for the country. Both the imperial court and the martial arts suffered heavy losses in that battle."

"Yes. Many martial arts skills were lost because of this." Mr. Kang stroked his white beard and sighed, "After that, the imperial court and the martial arts had a good relationship for a while, but the good times didn't last long, because there were too many martial arts people, threatening If it is too big, it gradually becomes a serious problem for the people above.”

Cheng Qianshu understood: "The imperial court wants to incorporate?"

"Yes." Mr. Kang said, "I don't want to care about these things anymore, but Ning Xin still has many ideals. He has heard me tell too many stories about the world since he was a child, and what he hides in his heart is that many people no longer yearn for it." Heroic dream. But just at this time, the imperial court wanted to attack martial arts and recruit righteous men from all over the country, and the government also received instructions. From now on, it will not be a world of "jianghu is a matter of jianghu". Everything must be in accordance with legal documents, and it is said that there will be more Promulgate the 'Knife Handing Order'."

Cheng Qianshu said in astonishment: "Hand over the knife? Is this trying to force the Jianghu sect to death?"

"Yes, first come up with favorable conditions for incorporation, and then promulgate the "handover order". From now on, all kinds of weapons will no longer appear on the streets of the main city. The Kang family will definitely embark on the road of business in the future. Zhengyi has no talent to inherit The Kang family's martial arts is not necessarily a bad thing, at least he can use other methods to prevent the descendants of the Kang family from living on the streets."

Cheng Qianshu turned his head and glanced at Hua Jinshuang, frowning: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Hua Jinshuang didn't answer, just looked down at the stone bench, wondering what she was thinking.

Mr. Kang glanced at Cheng Qianshu's crimson hair again, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and continued: "This matter can't be covered with fire, and gradually everyone in the martial arts world knows that some people are willing to join the army, but some are not." In this way, it is natural to want to resist. The result of the resistance will be labeled as a rebellion, and if the army conquers at that time, it will be the wrong party."

Cheng Qianshu was very clever, and immediately thought of the key point: "Not everyone in the court agrees, right? My father... my father is the opposition?"

Mr. Kang nodded slowly.

Cheng Qianshu's heart was clear at once, and he understood: "Is this the emperor's intention... or is it someone else's intentional murder?"

"You can't say for sure." Mr. Kang said, "But your father has military power in his hands, and the Cheng family has been loyal to the court for many years, but in the final analysis, he was also a member of the rivers and lakes at the earliest time, and he was also a fellow of the Hua family. Attacking your father is firstly to seize military power, secondly to weaken the power of opposing opinions, and thirdly to label various martial arts schools. But anyone who opposes is inextricably linked with various martial arts schools, so Even if it wasn't ordered by the emperor, it is estimated that the royal family will still have pimples in their hearts."

"Multiple birds with one stone." Cheng Qianshu said abruptly, "It's almost exactly the same as Kang Ningjie's technique, and it doesn't leak."

"That's why my eldest brother and I guessed that there is someone behind Kang Ningjie." Hua Jinshuang said.

"This matter looks complicated at first glance, but that person is very shrewd." Hua Jinshuang said, "With just one move, he has identified the core of all events, and that is your father. As long as something happens to your father, if When the Hua family came forward, it was confirmed that there was a collusion between the imperial opposition and the martial arts figures. If the other opposition parties had no confidence to speak out, the "order to hand over the sword" would be issued smoothly; , so intensified the conflict between the imperial court and the martial arts, the final result was that they escaped but were forcibly incorporated."

Cheng Qianshu understood, and looked at Hua Jinshuang: "My father predicted that something would happen to the Cheng family, so he asked his uncle for help. In order to prevent the Hua family from being involved, he only asked me to keep me. But uncle can't really do nothing, so he has secretly Gathered manpower, and plan to resist the court to the end, right?"

Cheng Qianshu's eyes suddenly turned sour, and he said, "It's the martial arts conference next month, right?"

Hua Jinshuang nodded, and said helplessly: "The martial arts conference next month was a good cover, but the news leaked from somewhere. The imperial court sent an eyeliner, and we have been looking for that eyeliner. Originally, the Kang family and us had a problem This matter has become an alliance for the time being, and Kang Ningxin also said that he will use this as an opportunity to win the martial arts prestige in one fell swoop and completely replace the Hua family."

Thinking of the past, Hua Jinshuang's eyes showed a trace of anger, and Cheng Qianshu finally understood why Hua Jinshuang was so angry and even over-emotional because of Kang Ningxin's death.

Leaving aside the family grievances of the two and Kang Ningxin's bad personality, Kang Ningxin himself is actually very honest. The two were originally in a competitive relationship, but because of Wei Xiaowushen's sum, it became a regrettable ending that could never tell the winner; The plan that everyone had prepared for a long time; it was because this matter was related to the Cheng family, but the Hua family lost the great help of the Kang family.

He wanted to clear up the grievances of the Cheng family, but he was put together, and it was very likely that he would become enemies with the Kang family because of Kang Ningxin's death.

Cheng Qianshu felt extremely guilty. In the prison, he actually stopped his third brother from mocking Wei Xiaowu, but the other party was only thinking about the important affairs of the world, and what he shouldered was the grievances of the Cheng family, and even more the future of the martial arts people.

In such a comparison, I am simply confused and stupid.

He suddenly came back to his senses, and said: "You didn't send someone to watch Kang Ningxin earlier, you were looking for that eyeliner, and you accidentally discovered that Kang Ningjie has a problem."

Hua Jinshuang didn't answer, but gave him a wink.Cheng Qianshu realized that there were some things that could not be said here, so he immediately shut up.

As if knowing what Cheng Qianshu was thinking, Hua Jinshuang secretly picked the palm of his senior brother, Cheng Qianshu turned his head in a daze, but met those eyes that were always smiling.

Thousands of words seem to be silent.

Cheng Qianshu suddenly felt a feeling that he couldn't explain clearly, and he felt a soft swell somewhere at the tip of his heart, like a little tide in the sunset, with warmth and faint bitterness.

"There should be another reason for them to attack their father." Cheng Qianshu's heart was full of turmoil, but his face was calm, and he said, "Because my mother is a Youzhao."
