Even a warrior as strong as Wang Yue spent a lot of time when he infiltrated Qujiawu Fort, which also gave Wang Yue a further understanding of Liu He's caution.

Originally, according to Wang Yue's intentions, he wanted his eldest apprentice Shi Ah to come and take this trip, but Liu He disagreed, and asked Wang Yue to come in person to send a letter to Qu Lin, the head of the Qu family.

If Shi A came tonight, I was afraid that he would not be able to enter Qujiawu Fort, but it would delay Liu He's major event.

In a spacious house near the central tower in Qujiawu Fort, the patriarch Qu Lin, the eldest son Qu Yong, and the grandson Qu Meng were talking about something in a whisper.

"Father, according to your wishes, the child went to Zhaojiabao and Jingjiabao today to discuss the share of rent collected from the tenants this autumn, but he was ridiculed by Zhaoqi and Jingjiao, saying that our Qu family does not pay attention to the rules, and we want to be the enemy of all the big families in Danshui."

Qu Yong's voice sounded in the room, and he seemed to be angry when he spoke.

Qu Lin said in an old voice, "Don't the Zhao family and the Jing family still agree to reduce the rents of the tenants this autumn?" ”

"Not only did they not agree to reduce the rent for the tenants, but they were also calculating to increase the rent by 20% this year!" The middle-aged man replied.

Qu Meng, the youngest of them, said loudly like a lit cannon: "Hmph, this Zhao family and the Jing family are really short-sighted, they only know how to suppress the local people by force, but they don't see how grim the current situation is!" The lessons of the Yellow Turban Disaster are still in front of us, and if the people are forced to survive, it will be another disaster like a prairie fire! ”

Old man Qu looked at his grandson like an aggressive little rooster, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Hehe, Meng'er's vision and insight are unmatched among the grandchildren of the Qu family, but this chestnut-like temper has to be changed, otherwise sooner or later it will suffer." ”

Qu Meng seemed to have a lot of respect for his grandfather, and after hearing Qu Lin's words, he scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and then said worriedly: "Grandpa, if the Zhao family and the Jing family are allowed to mess around like this, sooner or later our Qu family will be dragged into the water." If the common people really rebelled, they would not be divided between the Qu family and the Zhao family, and at that time, our Qu family would be in the most dangerous situation because of the fewest soldiers! ”

Qu Lin was very satisfied with his grandson's sharpness and vigilance, and he said helplessly: "What a difficult thing! The Zhao family and the Jing family are now intensifying their exploitation of the people, in order to raise more soldiers in order to cope with the coming troubled times. However, they killed chickens and took eggs like this, but they were afraid that before the troubled times came, Danshui would be in chaos first. ”

"Our Qu family is now equivalent to being held hostage by the Zhao family and the Jing family, if we don't follow the two of them, they will squeeze us, and then the people will pick the weakest of us first, which is tantamount to displeasing both ends. But if we also follow the example of the Zhaojing family and extort from the nearby people, we are afraid that it will immediately provoke a civil uprising! ”

"The current situation is the most unfavorable for our Qu family, whether it is forward or backward, if you are not careful, there will be a catastrophe of destroying the family and destroying the clan!"

Just when the three ancestors and grandchildren were worried about the future and fate of the Qu family, they suddenly heard someone outside the door say: "It seems that Liu Gongzi asked me to come here, but I went the right way, and the Qu family really has someone who understands!" ”

When the people in the house heard this unfamiliar voice, they were taken aback, they didn't receive any report from the soldiers, how did this person enter Qujiabao without a sound? If this man is trying to do evil, wouldn't it be very dangerous?

It was Qu Lin who was the calmest, he cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "I don't know who is the master outside the house, please come in and talk about it!" ”

Before Qu Lin's words landed, Wang Yue pushed the door with a long sword at his waist and walked in.

"Wang Yue, who is in the Martial Arts Hall of Xia Yanshan, is entrusted by the special envoy of the Son of Heaven, Taifu, Marquis Xiangben, and the son of Liu Bo'an, Youzhou Mu, to send a letter to the head of the Qu family!"

After Wang Yue finished saying this long list of words indicating his identity and status, he took out a handwritten letter written by Liu He to Qu Lin from his arms, and threw it lightly on the several cases in front of Qu Lin, which happened to fall firmly in Qu Lin's hand.

Qu Lin saw that the person who came was extraordinary, and there was a strong murderous aura all over his body, and he knew that Wang Yue was not an ordinary martial artist, so he said politely: "There is a hero of King Lao who came to deliver the letter in person, and please sit down and have tea, and wait for the old man to read the letter of the angel before making a calculation." ”

Wang Yue sat down, and Qu Lin picked up the letter and browsed it.

Liu He was able to serve as a servant to Emperor Ling and the son of today, and his writing skills and writing level were naturally not bad, so although the letter to Qu Lin could not be called a brilliant and talented person, it was also pleasing to the eye, making people feel very comfortable looking at it.

Qu Meng belongs to the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, when he saw Wang Yue who suddenly appeared, he was not so afraid, not only took the initiative to see tea for Wang Yue, but also looked curiously at the long sword hanging on Wang Yue's waist, and then suddenly said: "This hero, I don't know if you can borrow the long sword you wear on your waist to the kid to watch one or two?" ”

When Qu Yong heard his son's words, his face became very ugly, and he hurriedly scolded: "Meng'er shut up! How can you be so rude! ”

Qu Lin, who was reading the letter, also involuntarily twitched twice at the corners of his mouth that was covered by his beard at this time.

The long sword was a weapon that Wang Yue used to defend himself, how could he possibly hand over his weapon in a strange place like Qujiabao?

However, something happened that Qu Lin and Qu Yong did not expect.

Wang Yueyi was bold, not afraid of any danger after he handed over the long sword, so he said with a relaxed face: "The Qu family is so courageous, I will fulfill you!" ”

After saying this, Wang Yue untied the long sword very casually, and then laid it flat on top of several cases, signaling Qu Meng to come closer and watch it.

Ignoring his father's stopping gaze, Qu Meng actually walked in front of Wang Yue, grabbed the long sword on the case in his left hand, and slowly pulled out the cold light of the long sword from the scabbard with his right hand.

"What a peerless sword!" Qu Meng held the long sword and couldn't help but praise.

Wang Yue was a little surprised, and asked curiously: "Oh, you little doll also knows how to read swords?" Let's talk about how good this sword is? ”

Qu Meng said with some uncertainty: "The kid has also seen some descriptions of how to recognize swords and swords in some books, and what he says may not necessarily be counted. ”

"Looking down on the body of this sword, it is like climbing a mountain and looking down into the abyss, ethereal and profound, as if there is a giant dragon lying down. If what the kid said is right, this sword is the 'Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword' jointly forged by Ou Yezi and the two masters!. ”

The Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, also known as the Seven-Star Sword. In the history books, it was owned by Situ Wang Yun at the end of the Han Dynasty, and was later sent to Dong Zhuo by Wang Yun, who in turn gave it to Lü Bu, who fell into the hands of Cao Cao after his death.

Now for some reason, this ancient famous sword is actually owned by Wang Yue!

Or did Wang Yun lend this sword to Wang Yue in order to win over Wang Yue for his own use? Or did Wang Yue finally give the sword to Wang Yun, and then Wang Yun transferred it to Dong Zhuo?

Wang Yue nodded to Qu Meng and admitted that this was the legendary Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword.

"The Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword is a sword of integrity and nobility, since Wang Daxia has this sword, it means that neither your words nor Liu Gongzi's letter will be false. Xiao Lao'er just wants to ask now, if our Qu family risks the danger of exterminating the clan and is used by Liu Gongzi, I don't know what kind of benefits Gongzi will give to the Qu family? ”

Qu Lin, who had already read the letter, opened his mouth and said slowly.

"Childe said, if you support him this time, not only can you gain his friendship, but the Qu family can also turn the corner. The most important thing is that the Qu family can also send a descendant to follow Gongzi's side in the future! ”

After listening to Wang Yue's answer, Qu Lin closed his old eyes slightly, meditated for a moment, and then said to Qu Meng in a deep voice: "Meng'er, you immediately take someone to Dengjia Village, and invite Deng An, the head of the Deng family, and Deng Hai, the farmer, to the dock fort!" Remember, be polite and don't neglect the two. ”

"Qu Yong, you immediately secretly ordered to go down and let people start preparing to welcome the angel to stay in Qujiawu Fort. Remember, don't let the news go! ”

"Someone, pass on my order, all the soldiers in the fort immediately gather on the school ground, I want to give a lecture to the soldiers!"
