Qiu Yinming walked over and sat down not far from her, and said, "I've kept you waiting." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info how good are you lately? Hengyu also turned his face and smiled: "It's okay." What about you? Qiu Yinming said: "It's the same." Last time, my senior brother went to Ye Yuan to ask for his little friend, thank you for letting him out and giving him medicine. Hengyu also said: "Listen to Mr. Qi, you are a student of Shangguan Hongdao. It turned out to be your senior brother. Qiu Yinming nodded and said, "His name is Shangguan Jing, and he is actually a Taoist leader." I heard him say, on the day of the assembly in Miyun Castle, someone secretly attacked you when you fought with the one-armed Heavenly Master, and you seem to have suffered some internal injuries, but now you are healed? Hengyu also said: "It's okay." It's just a small injury. Alas, our Xihai League also caused a lot of trouble this time. Although he has no intention of being enemies with the various factions of the Central Plains martial arts, it is now unacceptable. ”

Qiu Yinming asked: "I remember you told me last time that the main purpose of your Xihai Alliance's visit to the Central Plains this time is to develop business and recruit people, do you have eyebrows?" Hengyu also said: "Last year, when I came to the capital with Mr. Qi, my father lived in Xi'an Mansion for a few months, and discussed the relocation of the headquarters with Zining's grandfather. Then my father came to the capital, and he was originally going to visit the lord of Fort Li in Miyun Castle and ask him to introduce some well-known sects and figures, but who knew that those changes had happened. Soon after, all of us will go south with my father to Jingzhou Mansion. Mr. Qi used to be there a few years ago, and he heard that there were many gangs, and he didn't know the depths. Qiu Yinming saw that there was a slight difficulty on her face, and guessed that the leader of the West Sea Alliance had traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains despite all the obstacles this time, and there must be very difficulties in this, and he didn't know whether he should ask or not. Originally, I knew that she would not stay in the capital for a long time, but I didn't expect to leave so soon, so I said, "Then when will you leave?" ”

Hengyu also heard the obvious disappointment in his tone, smiled lightly, looked up into the distance, and said, "Probably next month." We're here, and we're a little disturbed by the adults' official business. However, I won't be back to the northwest for the time being in the next two years, so ......"

Seeing that she wanted to stop talking, Qiu Yinming didn't wait for her to have a chance to talk about him, moved sideways in front of her and said, "Yuhuan, I actually know what you want." ”

Hengyu didn't expect him to say such a thing suddenly, and he stared at her face, as if he wanted to see through her, which made her subconsciously want to escape, but she couldn't lower her head, and couldn't find the words to say anything, so she had to reply: "You don't want to talk nonsense." ”

Her eyes were faintly blue in the light of the lake, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, which was very beautiful. Qiu Yinming smiled slightly: "If you want to disturb my official business, I will be waiting for you at any time." Seeing that she turned her face away and smiled and did not answer, he leaned closer and said, "Yuhuan, don't call me an adult in the future." ”

She blinked a little embarrassedly, turned her face, and said, "Look up, what are the three people in the back doing?" ”

Qiu Yinming raised his head slightly and looked behind her, and sure enough, there were three human-looking scholars standing under the tree at the entrance of the Medicine King Temple, looking at the two of them, exchanging heads and ears, as if commenting, and one of the older ones was looking at him with disdain.

Qiu Yinming laughed softly: "It's nothing, just a few pedantic pedants." Would you like to take a boat? ”

Seeing that he was thinking about the small boat moored by the lake, Hengyu also said, "Isn't that someone's boat?" Qiu Yinming said: "That person wants to find a short view, this ship must not be wanted." Now the people are gone. Why not borrow it. Wait a minute, I'll row the boat over. ”

So saying, he got up and walked to the lake, untied the cable, jumped into the boat, wiped the planks on the boat with his sleeve, rowed the boat over, and was still a mile away from the riverbank, and said, "Come up, wipe it all clean." Hengyu also jumped lightly and fell into the boat like a leaf. Qiu Yinming's three stunned people on the shore glared at him, then shook the oars, and the boat rowed out of the water and headed towards the lake.

There is a breeze on the water, sparkling waves, and changing clouds. Hengyu was still sitting on the wooden board and watching him row, and said, "What did you do to make a living when you were in Qiongya?" The boat rowed so well. Qiu Yinming said with a smile: "I don't have any skills, I occasionally pick some coral pearls and sell them in the provincial capital." My brother is a good bamboo, so he is enough to support his family. He added: "I learned the skill of rowing when I was a child in the smuggling fleet. Hengyu also smiled slightly: "Isn't that a pirate?" Qiu Yinming smiled and said: "Actually, he is not a robber, although he can't see any light, but he can be regarded as a serious business to make a living." ”

Hengyu also said: "Actually, the purpose of my father to lead everyone south this time is also for some smuggling business. ”

Qiu Yinming said: "I don't know whether to ask, I'm just curious." You have deep roots in the northwest, why bother to come to the Central Plains to muddy the waters? Moreover, the income from smuggling may not be as good as ...... Other businesses are lucrative. He almost mentioned the sale of human life, and quickly changed his words when the words came to his lips.

Hengyu still knew what he wanted to say, and bowed his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say it." Although Xihaimeng started as a mercenary, and his father was in the murder business in his early years, he has always been in business. My father now intends to stop trading in human life and turn to business. ”

She hesitated for a moment, then added, "It's okay to tell you." In fact, it has deep roots and can be destroyed very quickly. My father was the chief disciple of the North Underworld, the No. 1 killer organization in the rivers and lakes, and later betrayed the North Underworld and joined the West Sea Alliance. At that time, the Xihai Alliance was in full swing, but the old alliance leader was framed and fell apart in a blink of an eye. My father and Mr. Qi teamed up to grasp the overall situation. Later, it took my father four or five years to eradicate all the people who had opposed him before, including many of the old divisions of the Western Sea Alliance and the entire Northern Underworld. Speaking of this, Heng Yu's face was very bad.

Qiu Yinming said: "It's all the grievances of the previous generation, you don't have to mind too much." ”

Hengyu also sighed: "But he is my father." I know that he has done many cruel things in the past, and that he has lost countless souls. Every time I think about it, I feel uncomfortable. But my father said that it must be done for the sake of his family. The heart is soft-hearted, and the future is endless. At first, I didn't understand it, but then I slowly realized his struggle. ”

"After my father succeeded as the leader of the alliance, he sent some people to run the tea and horse business outside Jiayu Pass all the year round, and only a few people from the headquarters took over the assassination task. But in this way, the income of the customs department is far less than that of the headquarters, and after a long time, I feel unfair. About four years ago, the big boss stationed outside the Guanxi took advantage of the death of the old alliance leader, his father went to Xuandu for a funeral, and Mr. Qi launched a rebellion when he was far away in Chengdu, assassinated several leaders, and also took Zining and her mother hostage. Fortunately, Mr. Qi kept eyeliner at that time and notified Xuandu in time. That time, my senior brother and I went to quell the rebellion, but the West Sea Alliance lost more than half of its men and horses, and its vitality was greatly damaged. The three leaders defected to the Central Plains, and the big leader of the rebellion was nowhere to be found, and it was likely that he was hiding somewhere in the Central Plains, waiting for an opportunity to gather people to make a comeback. ”

"Today's Xihai Alliance can be said to be in vain. Therefore, this time, my father came not only to exterminate the rebel party, but also to recruit new people. Poor Mr. Qi, who originally planned to retire from the golden basin, is now involved in this battle. We have offended so many people in the Central Plains Martial Arts when we first came this time, and the road ahead seems to be difficult. ”

Qiu Yinming listened to her finish carefully, remembered the rumors that Wuwei had told him about Xuandu and what he saw in Miyun Fort last time, and asked: "I heard that the disciples of Xuandu are all extraordinary people, and Ling Zun has Xuandu as his wings, and he is invincible in the Central Plains martial arts, why are you so worried?" ”

Hengyu also said: "My brother and I grew up in Xuandu since we were children, and I know their personalities very well. As the saying goes, 'one mountain does not tolerate two tigers', let alone a person with unique skills and a heart higher than the sky. ”

"How many brothers do you have?"

"I have five senior brothers, one junior brother. Although we grew up together, only the younger brother and I were like brothers, and the senior brothers were all inseparable. Although the master has instructed us to obey our father since childhood, who can know what will happen in the future. Speaking of this, Hengyu also looked quite sad.

Qiu Yinming sighed secretly in his heart: childhood sweethearts are still suspicious of each other, and Xuandu must also be an extremely dangerous place. recalled Zhao Ying's expression when she talked about Xuandu that day, and suddenly felt that she was very pitiful.

Hengyu also slowly talked about what happened after the rebellion. It turned out that since the rebellion was put down, the alliance leader had been working hard to strengthen relations with the surrounding forces to ensure the unimpeded flow of trade routes to the west. First of all, he assassinated the Warat Kingdom, and then participated in the struggle for the throne of Uszang, and also destroyed the Wuyue Sect, which had been prevalent in Sichuan and southern Tibet. After solving many worries, I came to the Central Plains. Qi Mutian traveled to the Central Plains a few years ago to look for people who might cooperate with the Xihai League.

A few months ago, the leader of the alliance met with his father-in-law, Guan Laotou, in Xi'an Mansion, and decided to move the headquarters from Lintao to the Hanzhong territory closer to the hinterland of the Central Plains, Guanzhong in the north, and Bashu in the south. The old leader Guan is the leader of the underworld on the Ganshan Road, with many caravans under his command, and he also controls more than ten green forest people, and his influence is widely spread in Shaanxi. The old leader had suffered a big loss under the Wuyue Sect in the past, and now that the Wuyue Sect has been destroyed, the line from Bashu to Wusizang will be firmly held in his hands, and since then, the Xihai Alliance has trafficked goods to the Western Tibetan countries and has a more convenient and smooth route than going north out of Jiayuguan. Qi Mutian suggested that he choose a place to build an ordnance workshop in Shuzhong, and this time he went south to find a seller of copper and iron ore.

After telling him these details one after another, Heng Yu also said: "Actually, my father has wanted to do this for a long time. It would be nice if we could revitalize the Xihai Alliance in the future by doing business. ”

Qiu Yinming thought to himself: It's not easy to talk about. Although her face was sincere, her eyes could not hide her worry. She is the top master in the West Sea Alliance, and she must know the difficulties behind all this. He suddenly thought about what Qi Mutian said to him in Lushan when he first met Qi Mutian. There is no such thing in the world, and there is no way to achieve both. Like her, she was born involuntarily, and I don't know how much time she was really happy.

Hengyu was also holding his chin to see a fisherman not far away driving a small sampan, ** several herons fishing. After a while, he didn't answer, so he turned his head. When I looked up, I saw him thoughtful and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Qiu Yinming said: "I'm thinking, what do you like on weekdays." ”

Hengyu also smiled slightly, thought about it, and said, "I was laughed at by you." Don't tell you. ”

Qiu Yinming heard this, so he put down the oar in his hand, sat down opposite her, and said, "If you don't tell me, then I won't row." Drift wherever it goes. ”

The boat drifted slowly and aimlessly in the middle of the lake, unconsciously following the waves towards the South Lake. The blue waves are clear, and if the love is not tied to the boat, the two of them tacitly and chatted without a word. But he didn't realize that the sky had changed. Earlier, the sun was shining, but a few gusts of wind blew, and the sky gradually became cloudy, and the air was full of moisture.
