Qi Ning listened to Baiying's explanation today, and finally understood the horror of the Great Grandmaster. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiang Baiying was puzzled about the origin and identity of the bronze general, and Qi Ning was also full of doubts, after all, with Xiang Baiying's experience in the rivers and lakes, he was quite clear about the five great masters, if there was a bronze general in the rivers and lakes, Xiang Baiying would not be ignorant.

"Yes, Uncle Xiang, have you heard of the ice coffin in the Valley of Lost Flowers?" Qi Ning thought of the mysterious ice coffin and couldn't help but ask.

Xiang Baiying shook his head slightly: "I haven't heard of it, after all, this Thousand Fog Ridge is the lair of the Black Lotus Sect, the territory of the Great Grandmaster, who dares to trespass without permission?" It's the Valley of Lost Flowers you mentioned, and I've never heard of it. That bronze general is familiar with the terrain of Qianwuling, and must have premeditated it a long time ago, you just said that there are people in the ice coffin, this is strange, what is the bronze general going to do with the people in the ice coffin? ”

Qi Ning was also puzzled, and said, "That Black Lotus Sect Master cares very much about the person in the ice coffin, that person should be very unusual. ”

Xiang Baiying nodded, "The Immortal Holy Hand Li Xigong has excellent medical skills, as far as I know, this person is kind-hearted, and the person who can let him protect him at the cost of his life should not be a wicked person." After thinking for a moment, he said, "The Black Lotus Sect Master is injured, not many people know about this matter, so don't talk about it to others again." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "I know." However, the bronze general should have escaped, and he was only afraid that he would release the news. ”

"If that's the case, there's no way around it." Xiang Baiying said: "The five great grandmasters have checked and balanced each other for many years, and they have been safe and sound, if the news of the Black Lotus Sect Master's injury spreads, I am only worried that there will be other disturbances." Picked up the cowhide bag, poured it with his head, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and then said: "That's it, you try not to get involved in this matter." By the way, after the swing is easy to follow you into Beijing, what are you going to do with it? ”

"Naturally, I want to report to the emperor and wait for the emperor's will." Qi Ning said with a smile: "The emperor sent me to Xichuan to bring back the swing Yi, which can be regarded as completing the task." ”

Xiang Baiying smiled and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, how about going to Beijing with you?" ”

Qi Ning was overjoyed and said: "If Uncle Xiang accompanies him all the way, then he naturally can't ask for it." In his heart, he understood that Xiang Baiying, as the leader of the beggar gang, could never be idle, he followed him into Beijing, but he was afraid that he would have to guard along the way, which was not necessarily to be wary of swing Yi, or to worry that something else would happen.

Qi Ning and Xiang Baiying talked for a long time, Wu Zizi didn't see Swing Yi coming, thinking that it would not be a reversal, and he was thinking about himself, but he saw a figure flying up from the edge of the cliff, like an eagle falcon, landing on the edge of the cliff, it was Swing Yi.

Swing Yi held a jar of wine in each arm, supported it with both hands, and then threw it over, saying: "This is a treasured herb brew, it depends on whether you dare to drink it." ”

The two wine jars swept towards Qi Ning and Xiang Baiying respectively, both of them spread their hands and hugged each other, Xiang Baiying didn't want to think about it, patted open the mud seal, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, the swing Yi showed surprise in his eyes, and soon showed admiration, and said with a smile: "The old man has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and there are no more than three people who admire him, Xiang Gang Master, the old man has served you today, and you dare to drink it if you don't want to. ”

Xiang Baiying raised his hand to wipe the wine from his lips, and said with a heroic smile: "Hanako started drinking at the age of eleven, and for more than thirty years, the only thing that really tastes is Guchengyake." I thought that I would be accompanied by the ancient city burn in this life, but today I found out that in addition to the ancient city burning, there is such a good wine. He took another sip.

Qi Ning didn't have much interest in drinks, and since Swing Yi arrived, he didn't delay, and the three of them went down the mountain.

When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I looked at it from a distance, and I saw that there were dense figures, and the people of the eight gangs and sixteen factions did not all disperse.

Xiang Baiying glanced at Swing Yi, who had already said: "There is still an hour before it will get dark, and when it gets dark, the hostages will naturally be released." ”

Qi Ning also understood in his heart that the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects did not trust the Black Lotus Sect, and the Black Lotus Sect also did not have any trust in the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects.

The Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions did not disperse, so naturally they waited until the hostages were all put down, and the Black Lotus Sect waited until it was dark to release the people, naturally to gain time, in order to prevent the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions from rebelling and re-arming on the mountain, so as not to prevent the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions from attacking the mountain again.

Approaching the camp, Han Tianxiao, who had already been from the Shenhou Mansion, greeted him and arched his hand: "Little Marquis, Xiang Gang Master!" ”

Xiang Baiying bowed slightly, and Han Tianxiao had already said: "The Shenhou Mansion has summoned the people of the eight gangs and sixteen factions to discuss in the camp, just waiting for the little marquis and the gang leader to come over, please!" ”

Qiu Qian Yi didn't wait for the two to speak, and said directly to Qi Ning: "Little Hou Ye, I am a crooked and evil way, and the people of the eight gangs and sixteen factions will not be in the same stream as me, if you can trust the old man, the old man will be waiting for you in Chengdu, what do you think?" ”

Han Tianxiao's small eyes squinted at Swing Yi, and said lightly: "It's better for the Poison King to go with us, I will send someone to take care of you along the way." ”

"The old man has always been a loner, and I don't do what others ask me to do." Swing Yi didn't give Han Tianxiao a good face, "The old man and the little marquis have a promise, whether to go or stay, the little marquis is in charge, and it is not your turn to come to the Shenhou Mansion to pass the whereabouts of the old man." ”

Qi Ning understood in his heart that although this swing Yi had a perverse temperament, he was a person with a very heavy face and a strong sense of faith, plus before he went to Chengdu, he had to go to Heiyanling, this old poison was really inconvenient to follow him, and said with a smile: "The poison king is used to being alone, and I am not strong, you are always waiting for me in Chengdu." ”

Qiu Qian Yi was really afraid that Qi Ning would refuse, otherwise he would really be a little faceless in front of Han Tianxiao, hearing Qi Ning say this, it was like if he trusted his character very much, his heart was overjoyed, his eyebrows were stretched, and he said: "Chengdu will not be seen or dispersed." Without further ado, he turned around and left.

Han Tianxiao wanted to stop it, but the little marquis had already agreed, so he didn't say much, so he just said softly: "The little marquis is not afraid that this person will run away?" ”

"If he really wanted to run, he wouldn't go down the mountain with me." Qi Ning was very calm.

Han Tianxiao didn't say much, raised his hand and said, "Master Hou, please help the master!" ”

Xiang Baiying shook his head and smiled: "The Shenhou Mansion convened the eight gangs and sixteen factions to discuss the matter, so that Huazi will not participate, and the White Tiger Elder will participate." ”

Han Tianxiao was stunned, but Xiang Baiying asked Qi Ning with a smile: "Does Master Hou participate?" ”

Qi Ning thought that there was anything else to convene in the Shenhou Mansion to discuss, seeing that Xiang Baiying didn't care about this discussion, thinking that he had defeated the Dragon Pavilion Lord and others at the top of Lotus Peak, these people still had some prejudices against themselves in their hearts, and they ran over to sit with these people, and it didn't mean much, so they also shook their heads and said: "Captain Han, I still have something to do, I won't participate in this meeting, just have Captain Xuanyuan preside." Without waiting for Han Tianxiao to say more, he ordered: "I don't know if Captain Han can borrow two horses and return them to Beijing after returning to Beijing." ”

Han Tianxiao hurriedly said: "Let's lead the horse!" He bowed and turned away.

"Uncle Xiang, why don't you join the discussion?" Qi Ning turned his head to look at Xiang Baiying.

Xiang Baiying smiled: "I'm lazy if I can, I'm not used to this kind of occasion." And I know in my heart what they are counseling. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning was surprised: "Do you know what they discussed? ”

"When troops are sent to fight, they must also distribute money and reward meritorious deeds." Xiang Baiying said: "The eight gangs and sixteen factions were summoned by the Shenhou Mansion, and hundreds of people were killed and injured, and the Shenhou Mansion naturally had to give them an explanation, otherwise how could the eight gangs and sixteen factions be willing to leave." ”

Qi Ning immediately thought of the conditions proposed by Zhuge Changting and others to the Shenhou Mansion before attacking the mountain, and suddenly realized: "Are they going to redivide the territory? ”

Xiang Baiying shook his head and smiled: "This time, the eight gangs and sixteen factions have lost a lot, and the Shenhou Mansion may compensate for some gold and silver wealth, and it is impossible to redivide the sphere of influence." Simon Traceless has painstakingly maintained the current situation, how can it be easily broken? Some people want to take this opportunity to expand their territory, but unfortunately this is all expected by Ximen Wuxi, once the sphere of influence is redivided, the pattern of rivers and lakes will definitely be broken, and chaos will arise from this, and it will not be easy for the Shenhou Mansion to control the situation at that time, and Ximen Wuxian will not be so stupid. ”

Qi Ning thought that the old rivers and lakes were the old rivers and lakes, and he hit the nail on the head, and he had already seen through Ximen's mind without a trace.

He also knew in his heart that getting too involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes would not be of much benefit to him, and Xuanyuan Po was waiting for him to come to participate, but he was afraid that he would throw the hot potato into his hands when the time came, and he really couldn't avoid it.

Just a moment later, Han Tianxiao had already personally brought two horses, handed them to Qi Ning, and arched his hand: "Master Hou, Senior Brother instructed us to wait for Master Hou in Chengdu, and when Master Hou finishes his work and arrives in Chengdu, we will escort Master Hou back to Beijing." Yes, Hou Ye has other orders, and the Shenhou Mansion is ready to be sent at any time. ”

"Thank you!" Qi Ning thought that it would be better to stay away from this place earlier, turned over his horse, and said with a smile: "Captain Han, you tell Zhan Ying, when I return to the capital, I will go to see her." ”

Han Tianxiao was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xiang Baiying had already turned over and got on the horse, the two shook the reins of the horse, like two lightning bolts to the east, galloping out of the road only seven or eight miles, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, the sound of hooves was very urgent, Qi Ning looked back, only to see five or six horsemen galloping over, heard a voice shouting: "Leisurely, wait a minute!" It was Lu Shanghe's voice.

Xiang Baiying slowed down his horse, and Lu Shanghe caught up in a blink of an eye, laughing and said, "Xiaoyao, where are you going?" Let's talk about it, you're not going to say goodbye, are you? ”

"Big brother misunderstood." Xiang Baiying said: "Since I have promised my eldest brother, I will not break my promise, but I .......!"

"Xiaoyao, you are hesitant, but you are not the same as before." Lu Shanghe smiled heartily: "My carefree brother is informal, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, I don't care if you are the leader of the beggar gang or not, even if you want to run away this time, the eldest brother will pull you to see your sister-in-law!" ”

Qi Ning glanced at the people behind Lu Shanghe, and saw that those people were also looking at him, and several of them were quite kind-faced, and they had seen them in Fengjian Villa not long ago.
