Five miles down the mountain, there is a fork in the road. To the south is Jiankang, and to the east is Yanzhou.

A sturdy letter eagle hovered in the air, with wide and round wings and a red beak, and a crisp call, which was the one that was manipulated by Mu Cangping.

Liangqing saw the turn back from afar, and at this time, Qu Ya had been standing under the ancient acacia at the fork in the road for a long time.

Qu Ya was originally a taciturn person, and with his heart in mind, he became more and more like a condensed stone mountain, with the lines on his face as tight as stone, looking at the mountains with white edges floating in the distance under the scorching sun.

Liangqing knew that the news brought by Xinying was far worse than he imagined.

"Yi Mu Dian can be easy Qu Yu'er." Qu Ya said.

Liangqing subconsciously tightened the palm of the knife.

"Not necessarily." Liangqing said.

He actually wanted to say that if he handed over Mu Dianke, he couldn't get Qu Yu'er back. But he knew that with his position, Qu Ya would not believe such a thing.

He didn't dare to pack the ticket either.

After all, anything can happen.

Mu Cangping will largely break his word and gain weight; But it is also possible that he found that Qu Yu'er couldn't keep it in his hand, so he simply let her go. Change to a Mu Dianke, and make sure you don't lose money.

"I know." Qu Ya said, "If I were an ordinary elder, I wouldn't bother with this kind of proposal at all. But I'm still a father. A father, after being cornered, is unwilling to let go of any opportunity. ”

After Qu Ya said this, he turned to face Liangqing.

Liangqing's knife was swung out.

What is even more exciting than the side-by-side of "Crazy Knife" and "Fist of Heaven" is the fight between these two men.

Like tigers and leopards fighting, both of them are first-class masters in the world, and their skills, adaptability, combat skills, and even willpower are inseparable from each other, and it is difficult to judge the superior simply by the momentary battle situation. Perhaps until one of these two people dies, no one knows which one will ultimately be victorious.

— if not for the sudden emergence of variables.

The variable comes from a very intricately crafted plum dart. The flower is divided into five petals, the petals are like life, and the cold light gathers. It was nailed to Qu Ya's shoulder.

"Of all the people I can think of who might stand in my way, you are the only one." Qu Ya said. He didn't look back, but let go of his fist.

Liangqing withdrew his sword, jumped outside, and looked up at the place where the plum blossom dart was shot.

Actually, you don't need to look at it.

- With such a miraculous dart, there is no second person in the world.

It accurately found Qu Ya in the two overlapping figures that were almost inseparable from each other, and then wore the fabric on Qu Ya's shoulders to pick out five identical cotton threads. The five-petal plum tip, each hanging a line, rested steadily and ironically on Qu Ya's shoulder.

It doesn't hurt the flesh and skin, but it completely chills the heart of an old father.

Because that means that Jin Yanchen on the mountain has already gotten the news. He completely lost the opportunity to kill back to Shishan and take Mu Dianke away by surprise before Jin Yanchen could react.

Ten zhang away is a high slope, and the wind blows dust.

Xu Younan stood on the hillside with his arms crossed, his robe sleeves sprinkled, and he was always immortal.

It's just that his face is a little dignified.

"That's because you don't know me well enough." Xu Younan sighed: "It's been sixteen years, before I went to the place where birds don't; In other words, before I received the news of the Jin family's extinction in that place, I still had many longings for my life. ”

There are two paintings in his memory: a picture of a village girl sitting under a tree weaving rattan baskets on the banks of the Qinniang River, tired, taking out a large cotton cloth handkerchief from her arms and fanning the wind on her face. All the time the dragonflies flew and landed on the velvet flowers on their heads.

There is also a pear blossom tree blooming in the backyard of the Jin family, and the little girl lies on her grandfather's shoulder, winking at herself playfully, and the petals hang long eyelashes, covering the half of the eyes that are squinted into a line......

He wanted to marry such a gentle wife and have a child like an elf!

Later, he never went to Qinniang River again; The little girl who once regarded him as a father has grown into an indifferent girl who avoids him like a scorpion.

It's just that he still often remembers the beginning of the year.

"Seems so."

After the silence, Qu Ya spoke in a calm voice: "Your 'Tan Lang' is known for his brilliant wisdom, killing a little girl can kill her until she grows up, I really can't understand your awkward thoughts."

But what I didn't expect was that you could tell the difference between inside and outside the play so clearly. A play, you arrange it yourself, sing it yourself, sing it for so many years, and once the curtain ends, you can still calmly withdraw and become the most compassionate and moving spectator in the audience. ”

Saying little doesn't mean you don't know anything. On the contrary, people like Qu Ya, he spends all his time rapping in silent observation, and he can see Xu Younan even more thoroughly than Xu Younan himself.

Then once he speaks, the words he says must be sharp and sharp, hitting people's hearts. Because there is no need to deliberately ridicule, every word is true.

Xu Younan smiled: "Yes, it's really ruthless, fake compassion, it's really hard to distinguish between inside and outside the play." ”

It's not a sad person who can't understand the story of this world.

Have you ever drunk wine that is lighter than water? Ever seen a smile that is sadder than sad?

A long time ago, a long fine line appeared at the corner of Xu Younan's eye. Originally, it was very shallow and difficult to distinguish, but one day before leaving Chuzhou, it suddenly became aggravated, as if someone compared the original lines, carved a knife vigorously, laughed deeply, and the wrinkles were folded into a long fold.

"Qu Ya, you and I were comrades-in-arms, and I don't want to be enemies one day."

"You don't deserve to be my enemy." Qu Yayan said: "I only want to know one thing, you came down the mountain, is it your own opinion, or did he send you?" ”

"Who? Little Six? Xu Younan smiled leisurely: "You know, he doesn't trust me anymore, I learned the news later than him." ”

Qu Ya's trip, the reason why Jin Yanchen abandoned Xu Younan's "sneaking into the night with the wind" and sent the blue bird to assist, in addition to the fact that "sneaking into the night with the wind" was infiltrated and destroyed by Mumen, there was a more important reason - Jin Yanchen was starting to liquidate and rectify the seven doors and 36 doors of "sneaking into the night with the wind", intending to weaken Xu Younan's power and gradually take back the authority into his own hands.

"Believe in Tan Lang as if you believe in your own body", the young man who has adhered to the ancestral teachings for many years, after encountering deception and concealment again and again, finally built his heart high and refused to fully trust him anymore.

"He doesn't even believe me anymore, what can you do when you go back?" Xu Younan asked with a smile.

"I'll go back, what will you do?" Qu Ya asked.

Is it to fight, or to get rid of him?

This answer was important to Qu Ya, at least in his opinion, to Qu Yu'er.

"I don't know." Xu Younan smiled, "Before I went down the mountain, he locked himself up, I'm afraid he was making a difficult choice." But I guess it's fast - wait a little longer? ”
