It's not winter, but it's snowing heavily, it's a natural vision.

Often at this time, there will be all kinds of superstitions among the people, and in the early morning of the second day, the whole Luoyang City has been covered in heavy snow, covered in silver.

There were rumors in the city that this was a great grievance, which made God open his eyes.

Some people also named and said that it was Shen Qiu, the hero of Heluo, who was wronged, and this inspired the heavens to make the Central Plains fall heavily in the late autumn of October.

The rumors spread vividly.

In this era, people don't have much entertainment, and spreading some gossip has become the only pastime.

In addition, Shen Qiu's reputation in this city is really high, and in less than half a day, this rumor spread all over the city, and the notices posted in the hidden building throughout the city were all torn down by the beggars.

The outside world has spread the surging evil way and demon saying, in this city, it is like a stone falling into the water, splashing a ripple, and there is no movement.

The people don't care what status you have in the rivers and lakes, whoever protects them, they will favor whomever they want.

When the Northern Kou invaded the city, I didn't see you go out to save the people of this city?

As for the so-called "strange injustices", who spread it, people with a little heart can guess it.

Hey, Shen Qiu Daxia, he really married a good wife.

It's beautiful, and has strong financial resources, it's rare to have a smart mind, and it really has the style of a general, well, the only drawback is probably that he's older.

In this era, Yaoqin only got married in her twenties, and she is already an out-and-out old girl.

"Xuanyu used Gu to pry open the mouth of the Chehua thief."

In Lei Mansion, Qingqing sat next to Yaoqin, holding Yaoqin's hand, with a frightened expression.

Yaoqin doesn't care, the sword last night didn't even hurt her at all, and there is a master like Yang Fu in the mansion to protect her, there is nothing to be afraid of.

She patted Qingqing's hand and asked:

"Did you ask that? What exactly does he want to do? ”

"Sister, you look down on that rammer."

Qingqing pursed her lips and said disdainfully:

"There's no conspiracy, that thing didn't even think of using his life to pour dirty water on his senior brother.

He heard about Shiyin in Xiaoxiang Sword Gate, and knew that the Holy Fire Sect had a holy woman, and the thousand-year-old holy flame would not be extinguished, so the original hope in his heart was shattered.

He knew that martial arts were not good, on the side of Xiaoxiang Sword Gate, after Lin Yundong took Lin Huiyin back, he went into retreat, he couldn't learn advanced martial arts, and he would take revenge until the Year of the Monkey.

In despair, he went to extremes. ”

The little junior sister looked at Yaoqin and said:

His idea is very simple, the Holy Fire Sect has a holy daughter, that is, it has a heritage, but Shiyin, as a holy woman, needs to have a pure body and cannot marry.

The next saint woman of the Holy Fire Sect must only be the children of my sister and senior brother.

He wanted to assassinate his sister in order to sever the Flame Cult's heritage. ”

"Hmm."

Yaoqin nodded.

Che Hua's thoughts are extreme, but for a person like him who has a deep hatred of blood and is unable to take revenge on Yang Tao, it is indeed the only way he can take at present.

But Yaoqin closed her eyes and thought for a moment, and then said:

"Although you all know about the inheritance of the Holy Maiden, it is also hidden in the outside world, and it is difficult to know so clearly at the level of this Chehua, I think someone told him this.

Is it the Zhang Chu who fanned the flames everywhere? He has a deep hatred with your senior brother, and it is not surprising that he has done such a thing. ”

"It's not Zhang Chu."

Qingqing shook her head, and she said hatefully:

"It was the hidden building that informed Che Hua, the senior brother destroyed the rudder of the Xiangyang hidden building a few days ago, but someone went out and escaped for his life, so he told Che Hua about it.

The stunned young man didn't think about it, so he came to assassinate him alone.

Xuanyu asked him with a Gu force, but he couldn't resist it, so he said it all, his person is very weak! ”

Qingqing Says:

"I made up my mind to sacrifice myself to assassinate my sister, but I couldn't get past the level in my heart, I felt that I was incompetent and wasteful, and I had to sacrifice my sister's innocence to do it.

So last night's assassination, my heart was entangled, so I simply stabbed out the sword, and then closed my eyes and waited for death.

What a piece of rubbish! ”

The little junior sister pursed her lips and said:

"It's like what Senior Brother said before.

Such people, who can't solve the problem, solve themselves and leave the mess to others.

He didn't want to think about it, if he really succeeded in the assassination, with his senior brother's current temperament, he was afraid that the Xiaoxiang Sword Gate would repeat the tragedy of Zhang Moxie's slaughter of all the doors back then.

Lin Yundong remembered that he had a rough life and gave him a way to go. Not only is he not grateful, but he also wants to do such a brainless thing, he will die when he dies, and he will implicate his benefactor.

This kind of unwise person is a broom star!

Wherever you go, where you are in chaos, simply kill it with a knife, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Yaoqin didn't answer.

After a few breaths, she spoke:

"Wait for your husband to come back, although Che Hua is a pawn.

But he is also a righteous young man, at the hero meeting, everyone knows about him, and he died in Luoyang in such a daze, and the stigma on your senior brother can't be washed away. ”

"Speaking of senior brother."

Qingqing nodded, and she whistled a long whistle, and the wind in her two crested eagles flapped its wings and landed on the window.

The little sister whispered to Yaoqin:

"Senior brother may be back tonight, all the way secret, he wrote that he came to pick us up, said that he was going to Shaoxing, and he didn't know what to look for."

"Shaoxing?"

Yaoqin's eyes froze, looking at Qingqing, who didn't know anything.

She clenched Qingqing's hand.

Shaoxing, isn't it Tao Zhu Mountain?

Husband, this is what you want to tell Qingqing's life experience?

It seems that the matter of Jinling is really related to Qingqing.

-----------

Shen Qiu said that he would go back to Luoyang tonight, but in the afternoon, Li Yijian and the Heluo gang returned to Luoyang City first.

On the pier, there were a lot of people who went to greet them.

After the first battle of Luoyang, the people in the city of Luoyang, and the people of the Northern Dynasty have formed an undying grudge, and now the heroes of the Heluo Gang returned from the victory of Jinling, killing the Beikou to lose their armor, and they are the heroes of Luoyang City.

Li Yijian never imagined that when he came back, so many people came to greet him, and there were also old people who had lost their relatives, with tears on their faces and trembling to send them to the wind.

A group of Heluo Gang people also sighed in their hearts.

This battle is really as Lei Shiyin's big dragon head said.

As long as it wins, it will be able to win the hearts of the people in Luoyang, and it will take time for the Heluo Gang to be famous in other places, but at least in the Central Plains region, after these two wars, it is already a first-class wealthy family.

It's a pity that Li Yijian drank the mellow reception wine, but he felt very bad in his heart.

On this trip, the righteous path has indeed won.

But the eldest brother, and Shiyin, but...

Alas.

The group entered the city surrounded by the crowd and helped the people go home, while Li Yijian took his brothers to the Lei Mansion, and the people in the Lei Mansion already knew about Lei Shiyin, and he didn't have to explain too much.

On the Zhao steward's side, he even packed up, handed over the land deed of Lei Mansion to Li Yijian for safekeeping, and handed over the affairs of the Gangzhong, and then took more than a dozen Lei Mansion cronies out of Luoyang and went to the Holy Volcano in the Western Regions.

"Master Lei, Master Lang Monk."

In the front yard of the Lei Mansion, in the main hall, the high-level leaders of the Heluo Gang were all here, and the seven elders, including Lang Mutou, Yaoqin, and Master Li, were also present.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Yijian tied up the incense candles with a guilty face.

He said to the two tablets:

"We disappointed the two of us, we failed to protect Miss Shiyin, nor did we protect Brother Shen Qiu, so that he was slandered by traitors and had to betray the right path, it is our incompetence."

Li Yijian inserted the incense candle in his hand into the incense burner.

He turned around, took out the seal of the head of the Heluo Gang from his sleeve, put it on the table, and made a gesture to the seven elders.

He said:

"Brother Shen Qiu allowed me to be the leader of the Heluo Gang, but Li knew that Li was difficult to convince the public, whether it was martial arts or reputation, and he did not dare to occupy the position of the big leader.

Place the seal here today! ”

Li Yijian said loudly:

"This Heluo Gang leader can only be Miss Lei Shiyin!

No one can seize power and usurp the throne, today, Li put his words here!

Before Miss Shiyin returns, if anyone in the gang dares to plot against him, Li will not spare him with a knife in his hand! ”

The people in the room were all high-level cronies of the Heluo Gang, and no one refuted Li Yijian's categorical words.

Even if Master Li is a little bit of Jiujiu in his heart, he can only sigh secretly in his heart when he sees his stupid son with a solemn face, this fool, Shen Qiuxian's nephew has helped him to the throne, and he himself has to jump down again.

"What Yijian said is atmospheric and reasonable."

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Yaoqin opened her mouth and said:

"Yijian doesn't want to be the big leader, and we can't force it, but there are thousands of people in the Heluo Gang, and they can't be led by the gang leader for a day, and it doesn't look like it's going out.

In this way, it is better for Yijian to be the deputy gang leader and exercise the power of the gang leader.

After Shiyin returns one day, he will hand over power.

As for the position of elder left by Yijian, and because of my husband's affairs, it is not good for me to serve as an elder in the gang again. In this way, the two elder positions will be vacated, and they will be elected by the big bones in the gang.

What do you elders think of this? ”

"I think it's doable."

Lang Mutou was the first to stand up and speak.

Master Li's eyes rolled.

Although he was silent, he was also a step forward.

The other elders glanced at each other a few times, although Li Yijian, the rammer, became the deputy gang leader, but there were two more elders to choose from, and there was a lot to be done, so they stood up one after another, and the matter was decided.

"Yijian, it's not a day or two that people are unstable in the help."

After everyone left, Yaoqin handed the letter of the elder to Li Yijian and said to him:

"This time Shiyin left, it was when someone jumped out to make trouble, I know that you have always disliked this power struggle, but since you have a mind to help Shiyin protect the position of the gang leader, then you have to be ruthless."

Yaoqin glanced outside the door, she lowered her voice and said to Li Yijian:

"The position of two elders should not be left to others, do you understand?"

"I know, big sister."

Li Yijian thought for a while and said softly:

"One of them, I want to leave it to the Falling Moon, and I also ask the eldest sister to send a credible person over. As for the other one, Xiaohu's life experience is a drag, and he can't be an elder.

But Xiaosheng is flexible and can take on big responsibilities. ”

"Okay."

Yaoqin nodded with satisfaction, and she said:

"This time in Jinling and his party, Yijian has also grown a lot, so it is very appropriate to deal with it in this way. Tonight, your eldest brother will come back, don't alarm others, you come alone. ”

Hearing that Brother Shen was going back to Luoyang tonight, Li Yijian's eyes also flashed with joy.

But in a blink of an eye.

He arched his hand to Yaoqin, sent the eldest sister out, and told the elite of the Heluo Gang to take good care of them, so he called Zhang Xiaohu and Yi Sheng into the room and thought about it carefully.

It was not until the evening that Li Yijian was free, went home, visited his wife, and had a secret conversation with his father about half a pillar of incense, and then changed into night clothes.

flew out of Li's mansion and went to the Lei Mansion.

It was night, and the sudden snow had stopped, but there was still snow in the courtyard, and under the moonlight, a trace of cold was reflected.

When the moon is bright, the courtyard of the Lei Mansion is lit up.

A lot of people are waiting.

Qingqing, Xuanyu and Yaoqin sat together, Yang Fu and Li Yijian whispered on the other side of the room, and Shen Lan was also wearing a red dress, sitting in the corner, drinking tea alone.

The atmosphere in the room is not relaxed.

The candle flame jumps, and it is also the reflection of the heart's heart.

In the quiet night, I heard an eagle chirp.

Everyone looked out the door and saw a man standing on the snow in the courtyard.

The shadow shines obliquely, reflected on the falling snow, less restraint, more freedom, and more loneliness.

When it landed, it fluttered lightly, and the bell tied to the wrist was raised, and it fell, but it did not make a trace of vibration, but it also splashed and danced in the snow, wrapped around a black robe, and swept like the wind.

Yaoqin stood up and took a few steps forward.

She looked at the person in front of her, standing proudly in the snow under the cold moon, with a pair of black fists in both hands, holding a long knife with a sheath in his hand, and the familiar beard could be seen in the light yarn of the hat.

Seeing Yaoqin coming, he also shook his hand, as if he had shaken off a body of dust, took a few steps forward, and hugged his beloved wife in his arms.

"I'm back."

He whispered.

Yaoqin didn't answer.

just hugged her husband's waist with both hands and buried her head in her husband's arms.

hugged him very tightly, as if he was afraid that he would leave again.

All worries dissipated at this moment, leaving only a wisp of warm affection, like the wind and moon in the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Shen Qiu took off the hat on his head, revealing his black broken hair, and lowered his head to kiss his wife's hair, before raising his head and showing a smile to everyone who walked out of the house.

He said:

"I'm back."
