(2) The four families of the rivers and lakes

One evening, the twilight was slightly dark, and there was a woman in white standing in front of the door of Hefu. The breeze is blowing, the clothes are fluttering, and its shape is like a dance, except for a hollow jade pendant on the waist, there is no embellishment on the whole body.

Look at the woman's appearance again, her red face is like a lotus, her skin is like condensation, her teeth are like rhinoceros, her eyebrows are like paintings, and her whole body seems to have a quiet breath that naturally flows.

Mo Qingqian's face was indifferent, staring at the plaque of He Mansion as if he was concentrating, as if in a daze, holding a diamond-shaped carved secret weapon with his bare hand under his sleeve, due to excessive force, there was already a sharp pain in the protrusion of the hidden weapon in her hand, but her face was motionless.

His eyes focused on the plaque with Nanmu bronzing words, and for some reason, Mo Qingqian always felt that the He Mansion in front of him was more depressed than he imagined.

The family who reported to the inward came with a young man, and a group of people with thousands of crossbows followed, lined up, fanning Mo Qingqian, and obviously regarded her as someone who came to find trouble.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my He Mansion? ”

The person who spoke was He Jiangqing, the fourth generation of the third son of the He Mansion, standing in front of the door with Ling Ran in his hands, and now the old head of the He family is old, and the affairs of the He family are presided over by the person in front of the door who is called the third young master. A group of people beside him aimed the Qianji crossbow at Mo Qingqian, believing that as long as the leader gave an order, the Qianji crossbow could shoot Mo Qingqian into a hedgehog, which was also a big reliance on Hefu's life.

"This secret weapon, but you made it in Hefu?" The woman in white was like a jade bead, her face was not rippling, her hand was slightly raised, and she secretly made her internal strength to hit the diamond-shaped hidden weapon and threw it at He Jiangqing, He Jiangqing was startled, reached out to catch the hidden weapon thrown by Mo Qingqian, and took two steps back before barely catching the hidden weapon, and the people on the side immediately made an attack posture and pulled up all the springs of the crossbow arrows.

The woman opposite ignored the crisis in front of her, and only looked at the young man seriously, waiting for the answer he gave, but she obviously overestimated the skills of the He family, and sure enough, as rumored in the rivers and lakes, the He family was not good at martial arts. When she first entered the rivers and lakes, although she wanted to find out the truth, she really didn't want to be an enemy of others, and she didn't believe that the murderer would be so stupid and use the secret weapon she made to kill people, and then think about the relationship between the four families and her family......

"I have no intention of being an enemy of the He family, and I don't know much about the rules when I first enter the rivers and lakes, so forgive me."

Although Mo Qingqian's face was cold, her words were polite, and she didn't show any weapons, it seems that there should be no hostility towards the He family. He Jiangqing raised his hand to let people put away their weapons, changed the color of Ling Ran just now, and carefully examined the hidden weapon in his hand.

Some hesitated and said: "Judging from the workmanship and dark groove carving of this hidden weapon, it is indeed like that of my He family, but every time my He family makes a hidden weapon, it will definitely be recorded in the book, and I am sure that there is no such thing in the record of the He family's atlas." And ......" He Jiangqing paused for a moment and said, "The steel used to make this secret weapon, I heard that only my uncle who has gone can forge it, and now there is no one in the He family who can do it." After speaking, he stared at the secret weapon for a long time as if he was nostalgic, if he was still there, the He family would be a different scene now. It wasn't until the subordinate next to him coughed lightly that he came back to his senses, handed the hidden weapon to a disciple holding a thousand machine crossbow on the side, and returned it to the woman in white.

"Since it's the He family's method, wouldn't it be unrecorded in the book?" Mo Qingqian was unwilling to cut off the clue here, and asked anxiously.

"Naturally not, the He family made utensils, how many utensils they received, how many materials they used, and what they were made of, all of them must be registered, I have been in charge of the family for many years, and these are the clearest." He Jiangqing patiently explained.

"Is that ...... Secretly learned your He family's skills and set up your own door? ”

He Jiangqing chuckled: "Among the disciples of my He family, there are sixty-three people who are now learning to make utensils, except for those who have passed away, the rest are now in my He Mansion Mansion. ”

The woman in white took the hidden weapon, hurriedly glanced at the thin cocoon on the man's hand, her eyelids drooped, and her voice inevitably revealed disappointment, as if she was talking to herself: "Isn't there either?" ”

The cold on the originally cold face was even worse, and the pale face was more sickly. Dressed in white, the chill poured out of her body, and she raised her eyes to look at the gradually gloomy sky, she knew that this road would be difficult, but she didn't think that this was just the beginning, and this was the result.

The ethereal eyes finally returned to resoluteness, even if he stepped on the main continent, he would look for it, even if there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.

He Jiangqing took advantage of the last ray of light before the sunset completely darkened, looked at the woman carefully, her face was full of wind and dust, I don't know how long it took to get here, only in the face of more than a dozen bows and crossbows did not change color, there was no trace of murder in his eyes, only when he heard him say that he didn't know the secret weapon, his eyes flashed with disappointment.

Such a different woman in front of him made He Jiangqing feel a little pity, thinking that the secret weapon seemed to be of great significance to this woman, and suddenly couldn't bear her to be disappointed by this, hesitated for a moment, and said loudly: "There are a thousand machine valleys more than 400 miles to the north, maybe the people in the valley can solve the doubts in the girl's heart, but the valley is dangerous, and the girl needs to be very careful." ”

As if he saw hope, Mo Qingqian's eyes when he looked at He Jiangqing also changed slightly, and he said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

The cold color on Ruyu's face had faded, and the brilliance in her eyes flickered, like starlight under the canopy of darkness.

A simple and soft sentence, listening to He Jiangqing's heart was like a worm crawling, and he deliberately controlled the smile on his face involuntarily several times, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the woman had already stepped into the air, and the white clothes moved against the wind, like a fairy who fell into the dust, and disappeared in a few jumps.

He Jiangqing knocked his head hard, how could he react so slowly, he didn't have time to ask the girl's name, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to meet in the future.

After settling down, He Jiangqing pretended to be serious and shouted to the people around him: "No one is allowed to mention today's matter again, otherwise, they will face a more serious punishment than removing from the He family." ”

The crowd held their breath and replied in unison, "Yes." ”

In the rivers and lakes, the royal family of the big family has its own way, naturally they are loyal and obedient, and what He Jiangqing said is not intimidation, the four major families in the rivers and lakes are the existence of all major sects, and in these four families, they are a rough subordinate, and they have to give some face when they go out to the rivers and lakes. Naturally, the four families selected the next people are carefully selected, especially like these people in front of them, who can hold bows and crossbows are all disciples of the He family, and follow the He family to learn some simple methods of making weapons, it can be said that in the future, including their families, they can live a worry-free life. If the people who were removed from the four families were kicked out, looking at the entire rivers and lakes, I am afraid that no one would dare to accept them again.
