"Agua:

See the words as they are.

More than half a year has passed, and I don't know if your mood has calmed down. I've been thinking about when I should say hello to you, and I thought it would be better to meet you, but I learned a few things that made me feel that I didn't have time to wait quietly, so I had to write you a letter like this.

Regarding the grievances and grievances between us, if it is explained in simple words, it must be a little irresponsible. You have a reason to hate me, and I often wonder if there was a better way to deal with what happened in the first place, but looking back on it doesn't help. If you have the opportunity, you feel that I owe you, and you can ask me back in the future.

But I think we have to let go of personal matters. The nearly two-year hibernation period that you and your family have spent in the south has passed, and the roots must have taken root. Recently, I have learned some information about the south, and if you want to make some moves next, I have some comments that you can consider......"

In late spring and early summer, the continuous mountain rain moistened the mountains and mountains, and in the bamboo building, the girl pushed open the window and watched the heavy rain fall in the lush mountain forest in the distance. Miao Jiang, Lan Huandong, even for the people living in the village, the girl's face has been lost for a long time.

Since returning from rescuing Buddha Shuai last year, as the original head of the sword, the girl of the Lan Huan Dong Lord has now entered a long retreat. For most of the people in the sword, this is because the owner of the village has a comprehension in the battle with Lin Xichan and others. To push one's own martial arts to a higher level. Only a few people can know that the girl's retreat was caused by physical and mental exhaustion and confusion after the Great War. So in this long period of more than half a year, she lived in seclusion in this main building, with only the only remaining thoughts, remote control the few things that need to be grasped in the village, and most of the development was let go by her, let Yiqiē evolve naturally.

The windows have been closed for so long. On this day suddenly opened. For most people in the village, they don't know what it means. If you were someone who was familiar with each other, you would be able to see some of the changes that had taken place in the woman: the seclusion for more than half a year had made her look thinner, and the little baby fat on her face was fading because of growth. Even though it still looks beautiful. But at this time it was difficult to call her a girl. Some complicated feelings have settled under her eyes. It seems to be gradually turning into something as hard as a diamond, but it is not the same as the stubbornness of her original personality, and only those who are familiar with it can see the difference between the two.

"Resignation." After standing at the window for a long time. She opened the door lightly.

The maid's voice replied outside the door: "The owner." ”

"It's called Chen Fan...... Uncle Chen came over. ”

"Yes."

The maid was dressed in a cloak and ran down in the rain. In the room, a woman named Liu Xigua sat on a chair by the window and sighed softly.

The letter in her hand had been read many times, and after the initial hesitation and the expectation that she would never admit it, there was a deep sourness and unspeakable anger, but in the end, these feelings only turned into something more complex and speechless.

In the past retreat, for nearly a year, she couldn't face in addition to Du Shu, Chen Fan and others who participated in the rescue, as well as herself who really didn't know how to choose. Of course, she had thought that Ning Yi would explain this to her, she couldn't face it, he might have some way, but what she didn't expect was that what she was looking forward to in the end was such a letter.

The man, to put it mildly, skipped this qiē, attributing the problem between the two to only a private affair, and then explained it in just a few words, skipping aside. This way made her feel angry and annoyed, she more or less hoped that the letter would come, and after she read it, she would be able to solve the problem - even in her sober cognition, she knew that it was impossible - the other party could at least justify, apologize, and even make a superfluous explanation for the original choice, but in the end, there was nothing.

"You have a reason to hate me" - he did not try to explain, and the final confession seemed to have only one sentence, as if to say: You just hate it. However, after only a few sentences, he began to state the big picture. It seems that he has decided that he will not ignore his mention here.

Is...... It's too arrogant......

However, after getting angry, what really made her angry was the kind of love that she really couldn't confuse the two. In a certain sober understanding, this woman, who has always been strong or so strong that she doesn't need any support, has indeed been looking forward to someone's explanation or comfort in her heart in the past six months. However, if she had been resting or sleeping all the time, it was as if someone was ringing a gong in her ear, reminding her that it was time to wake up and get up. The man was just ringing the alarm bells, but refused to comfort him.

Even though she knew that casual comfort in such a situation would only make Yiqiē frivolous and slippery, she couldn't avoid a feeling similar to getting up in her heart after all. Unfolding the letter, a few pages of the letter were written freely, unlike today's masters, who wrote letters, but as if they were talking, eccentric and very unstylish. And what she really wants to see is actually only the first few sentences. After that, there was a whole lot of articles about the green forests of the south, the government and business, and the underworld, but it was just to see what worked and what didn't—she had already read it several times.

*************

A maid named Cihua ran down the village and found Chen Fan, who taught martial arts, in the school on the side of the cottage, and soon after, he went to the bamboo building at the top of Lan Huan Dong and saw the watermelon in the building.

Heavy rain was falling outside, and the light in the room was not bright, and it seemed somewhat quiet. He stood at the door and looked at the watermelon for a moment, and then walked over: "If you don't go out of the customs, the stockade will fall." ”

Watermelon glanced at him.

For more than half a year, Chen Fan has taught children martial arts in the village, and he also deliberately grew a beard. The essence in his body has become more and more restrained. If you can still see that iron fist-like spirit in his body before. At this point, he was more like a blunt knife. The heavy sword has no edge and is not skillful, and for the master, it can be seen that he has found a way to step to a higher level. On Chen Fan's side, he could clearly see that the edge of the watermelon was turning from sharp to heavy, and the woman in front of him was obviously growing at a speed that was not lost to him.

"Ning Yi's letter."

"Show me what."

Doubts flashed in Chen Fan's eyes, he sat down after receiving the letter, looked at it for a while, shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's right, he has figured out the details of these people in the south." Just do as he says. These things. If you don't discuss with Uncle Nan and them, why are you looking for me...... Well, he has a shipment for us, and you want me to pick it up? ”

"I want to know. Something happened to him. ”

"Lately?" Chen Fan frowned. "I haven't heard of it. He's been really notorious and getting louder, but what to say...... No, I don't. ”

"Look at what he wrote earlier."

“…… Here are the words for you. What's there? ”

Watermelon looked at him, then reached out and took the letter: "This sentence, he understands some things, so he feels that there is no time to wait quietly, so he writes to ...... What do you think is the matter that can make him vigilant and may come to us to make a move? ”

When the watermelon said this, Chen Fan finally understood, and frowned: "When you say this, there is indeed a problem...... I've always been aware of things in the north, and in the second half of last year, he offended a lot of people. This is the tail of his hand left after breaking Liangshan, and now it is getting more and more intense, and many people went to Beijing to assassinate him, but basically unsuccessfully. If you talk about this aspect, he has already offended Lin Xichan last year, and the Great Light Sect has developed rapidly recently, and Lin Xichan's martial arts have been fought all over the country. If it continues to make trouble, I'm afraid that he will challenge Zhou Tong to really succeed, if it is this trouble, I hope we will take action...... With his character, it's not like ah......"

"Who did he offend?"

"It's all ...... Uh......" Chen Fan was about to say, then realized something and laughed, "You don't want to help solve this hand, don't think about it." You may not know very well, let me tell you, in the second half of last year, he was busy with disaster relief......"

The sound of rain rustled through the world. In this small building in Tiannan, the two of them spent a lot of time talking about those things in Jinghan's eleven years. Soon after, Liu Tiannan, the head of the sword, and others began to come from Chaozhulou and began to tell more troubles to the watermelon.

In the days that followed, Watermelon officially stepped in and began to deal with the many things that had happened in the village during her retreat. On the other hand, Chen Fan and Ji Qian'er, who had become his wife, said goodbye to Watermelon, Liu Tiannan, Du Kill and others, and set off to the north, on the one hand, to receive some goods from Zhuji, and on the other hand, began to gradually visit the forces left in the south by the Great Bright Sect, and took revenge on Lin Xichan, Sikong Nan and others.

North.

On a summer night, there is a faint moonlight in the sky, and on the official road from north to south, two horses gallop through the night!

Although summer has arrived, there is still a famine in this place, and even though it is an official road, there are not many people rushing at night. The official road stretched and winded, and when they passed through a small market in front of them, even though there was the faint light of the inn, the two riders had no intention of stopping. Through the light that was not bright, we could see that the man on horseback was led by an old man with white sideburns, and the man on horseback behind him was already forty or fifty years old, and he was by no means young.

At this time, the leader of the Great Light Sect, Lin Zongwu, who had been looking for a long time to fight with him, but could not find the great master Zhou Dong, who was following behind, was naturally the disciple Fulu who was also a servant and friend. Due to Zhou Dong's advanced age, even if his cultivation is high, it is enough to keep his body in a state that does not lose to a young man, but after all, it is still harmful to his body to travel all night, and when the glimmer of the inn passed by, he turned his head to look, and then rode his horse to catch up gradually.

"Master, it's late at night, and this horse has been running for almost a day, and if there is a place ahead, let it rest."

"How long will it take to get to Peach Pavilion?"

"Hundreds of miles, at least two days."

"It's been too long, and the conference will be held on this day or two, and it can't be delayed any longer. We went to the front inn to change horses. ”

"After all, there is no hurry, even if they have a meeting, as long as we intercept them on the way to Beijing, we can always stop the situation. Master, if you go on like this, it will be detrimental to your body......"

Fu Lu's words made Zhou Tong laugh, and then said solemnly: "After all, it is difficult to be loyal and good, and I can't catch up, since I can catch up, how can I be afraid of this twist and turn...... There are more than 200 of them, and they are brave and ruthless, and they are too late, what if they have already made a decision, what if they don't sell my old face? It's all about saving people on both sides, it's okay! ”

Knowing that Zhou Tong had made a decision that could not be changed, Fu Lu was silent and no longer persuaded him, and soon after the two went to an inn and spent a lot of money to buy two horses from Xiao Er in the inn. However, after only a short rest, Zhou Dong and Fu Lu got on their horses again and headed south overnight.

The reason why he was in such a hurry was because Zhou Tong knew a piece of news. Led by one of his named disciples, a Green Forest Heroes Conference is being held in a place called Taoting County in the south, and the total number of participants this time is more than 200 people, and there are also some famous Jianghu elders, and this hero conference is aimed at a court loyal and good known to Zhou Dong.

After confirming the news, Zhou Dong took Fu Lu and quickly went south. In order to provide disaster relief, he had already moved to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass, and the way to the south was far away, but he knew that there were many reckless people in the green forest, and once everyone really decided to form a team to shoot, he might not be able to persuade him after the blood surged, so he had to travel under the stars and nights, racing against time.

The two set out in the morning, ran all night, and the next day changed horses at a market, for two days and one night, without stopping. It was late at night that he arrived in Taoting County, but finally the time limit had not passed. The people of the green forest usually have no status, but when they gather together, they like to be lively, from a distance, the county town is brightly lit, and the noisy sound comes, and I don't know whether they are singing or what they are doing. Further on, a loud bang was heard in the night sky, like a big firecracker, which was terrifying, and the horses went wild.

Zhou Tong came in a hurry this time in order to mediate the misunderstanding between the two parties. On the one hand, it was clear to everyone that the court Zhongliang was a good person, and asked everyone not to go to him for trouble, for the use of traitors, on the other hand, it was also because the background of that person was not shallow, even if more than 200 people gathered, they might not really be able to win the other party, and rashly went to Beijing, hurting their own lives. It's just that he arrived before the end of the conference, but he was shocked to find that this hero conference had obviously changed.

The fire flickered, and a group of people fought in front, and the three Jianghu people were covered in blood, desperately resisting the court eagle dogs chasing from behind, but finally, one of them was covered by a fishing net, and the other two rushed to save them, and were knocked to the ground, and several people held sticks and beat them on their heads and faces. The blood spread, and when they were hit on the head and bleeding and dying, they were caught with a net and dragged away like wild dogs.

Zhou Dong and Fu Lu chased after the small county town......

In the last years of the Wu Dynasty, the traitor was dictatorial, and there was an intelligence organization secret investigation department, which was the most ferocious and domineering, among which the big boss Ning Liheng was ruthless, domineering and tyrannical, and the loyal and righteous people on the rivers and lakes got up one after another, confronted it, and staged a scene of sad stories in the green forest......
