Zhou Xiao'e held the long piano, the smooth surface was very comfortable to touch, although this piano is not a first-class product, but compared with her previous one, it is a heaven and an earth.

She originally said that after meeting, she would definitely invite Ye Qiu to dinner, but she didn't expect that not only did she not invite him to dinner, but also asked him to change a new piano for herself.

But she is still very happy in her heart, she believes that with this piano by her side, she will be able to tell his story well, and she feels that with this piano by her side, it is as if he is by her side.

She has been helpless since she was a child, she has always relied on begging for a living, she has already seen through life and death, and she has long been not afraid of death, so she is really not afraid of death, especially after the death of the master, she feels that death is even more fearless.

It's just that she promised him that she must live.

As soon as she thought of the Qinfang, she felt very happy, he didn't want her to die, and that was enough.

She has always been easily satisfied, she is already content to have something to eat and save her life, and now there is still someone who remembers her and hopes that she can live, which is already very happy for her.

So she wants to protect the piano as well as she protects herself, because she also hopes that one day in the future, they will meet again.

Then she found a knife and carved two words on the board of the long qin, and I don't know if she was afraid of affecting the pronunciation of the qin or afraid that others would see it, so the two words were engraved very small, but very neatly - Ye Qiu.

Then she carried the piano on her back and traveled all the way north, telling stories about him.

Zhu Xiaoqi is really angry, every time she sees Ye Qiu, this guy always makes herself very shameless, she has always wanted to practice powerful sword moves, so since the last incident, she decided that she would never wear a sword before she practiced powerful sword moves!

But after seeing Ye Qiu today, she really couldn't help it, knowing that she would definitely lose face, she still had to rush up and lose this face, of course, this was not the main reason for her anger.

What made her most angry was the little girl who told the story, Ye Qiu, why was he so good to her, and sneered at herself?

The scene in the piano workshop always appeared in her mind, she controlled herself not to think about it, but the more she controlled it, the more she couldn't help but think about it, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Then she would think again, if only she were that little girl.

Whenever she thought of this, she would snort coldly and scolded in a low voice: "Dead Yeqiu, one day this girl will definitely let you know the fate of looking down on this girl." ”

She turned around and ran back to the restaurant, where Old Man Zhu was still sitting on the chair on the second floor, with his eyes closed and smoking a dry cigarette.

She walked quickly to the old man, snatched the cigarette stick, and said angrily: "Grandpa, I don't care, you must find me a very powerful sword move." ”

The old man opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "What a powerful sword move?"

Zhu Xiaoqi said: "The kind that is more powerful than Ye Qiu, it is best to defeat Ye Qiu with one move." ”

Old Man Zhu shook his head, "That's not easy to find." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi curled his mouth, "I don't care, if you can't find it, I'll ...... I'll just throw your cigarette stick away. ”

As he spoke, he threw the cigarette stick in his hand downstairs.

Old Man Zhu hurriedly got up and stopped: "I'll look for it, I'll definitely find it for you, you can be careful, this is grandpa's lifeblood." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi pouted and said, "What's so good about a broken cigarette stick?"

The old man smiled and said, "To your grandfather, this cigarette stick is more valuable than a divine weapon." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi said disapprenosingly: "Divine weapons can kill, but what about your cigarette stick, you can also kill?"

The old man nodded and said: "The magic weapon kills others, my cigarette stick kills myself, can you see that someone dares to kill himself? No, no matter how powerful the magic weapon is, he doesn't dare to kill himself, after all, it is a lot worse than my cigarette stick." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi frowned, she couldn't understand anyway, she felt that her grandfather must be fooling herself again, how could anyone kill herself?

She suddenly remembered Lin Feiyu's big sword and asked, "Grandpa, do you think that sword just now is a divine weapon? ”

The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded, "That kid himself is a sharp sword, so why do you need any divine weapons." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

The old man didn't explain, but looked at his granddaughter and said: "Xiao Qi, if you really want to practice swords, you must remember one sentence, if you have a sword in your heart, you are better than ten million swords in the world, and if you don't have a sword in your heart, even if you hold a peerless divine weapon in your hand, it is just a little better." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes rolled, and then the light in his eyes flashed, and he asked, "That's why you won't let me find another sword?"

The old man nodded and said, "If you want to practice the sword, you must first practice the sword in your heart, and then practice the sword in your hand." ”

The old man took the cigarette stick in his hand, shook off the ash in it, then pinned the cigarette stick to his belt, turned around and said, "Let's go, go and find you a powerful sword move." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi was overjoyed, but he didn't forget to remind: "It's going to be a very powerful kind." ”

The old man nodded and said, "It must be very powerful." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi said: "It's even more powerful than Ye Qiu's." ”

The old man still nodded and said, "It must be better than Ye Qiu's." ”

The grandfather and grandson walked out of the restaurant and headed east.

Ye Qiu, Lin Feiyu, and Yun Moming went directly south into the border between the two countries, and along the way, Ye Qiu actually didn't have much certainty.

Although he had made a deal with these homeless people, it was three years ago after all, and he naturally couldn't predict what these homeless people thought now, and besides, although he promised to help these people get rid of the identity of the homeless, he couldn't know if these homeless people would agree to enter the Song Kingdom to work hard.

Of course, whether these people will agree or not, in fact, it doesn't matter to him, he can even ignore these homeless people, and directly let the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Mercenary Group and Ye Qiu leave the border and enter the Song Kingdom, and then the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Mercenary Group will no longer have to eat the bowl of rice on the border, so the transaction with these homeless people will naturally be nullified.

These rogue civil queens may be very atmospheric, but do they still dare to break into the Song Kingdom to take revenge on the Ye family and the Chunxiaqiudong mercenary group?

If they had the guts, they wouldn't have to rob caravans on the border.

The reason why he proposed it to the crown prince of the Song Kingdom, and why he personally went to the border mountains to negotiate with these displaced people, was actually only because he had promised these people, and if he really left like this, he felt that he couldn't go away.

Three years ago, he actually wanted these homeless people to work for the Ye family, because he knew very well that he could not protect the Ye family by himself, so he wanted to recruit some strong people and win over some forces, but the plan could never compare to the change, and now that he had offended the entire Yunxue Empire, the only choice for the Ye family to be safe was to use the protection of the Song State.

In this way, those previous plans and ideas can only be put aside.

After entering the mountain, Ye Qiu directly used the "Dragon Slaying Technique", and the sword qi soared into the sky, and then the three of them waited in the woods.

These homeless people, no one has ever been able to find them, whether it is the army of the Yunxue Empire or the army of the Song Kingdom, so Ye Qiu naturally cannot find them, and over the years, although these homeless people have always had contacts with the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary groups, they have always been the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary groups that these homeless people are looking for, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary groups have never found these homeless.

Ye Qiu used the "dragon slaying technique", which was regarded as sending a signal to the other party, telling the other party that he had arrived, and that he had something to discuss with them, if these people could come, they would start talking, and if they didn't come, they would continue to go south and leave the border between the two countries.

Soon, in the silent snow of Siye, there began to be rustling footsteps, and then a man with one ear missing and a scar on his neck laughed: "Ye Gongzi has been gone for more than three years, but not to mention, Ye Gongzi's recent reputation is very big, even those of us who hide in the deep mountains and old forests and don't ask about the world can know it." ”

Ye Qiu clenched his fists and said, "Since the mountain lord knows these things, he must also know the purpose of coming here, right?"

The man with the scar hesitated slightly, then looked around, and said, "If Ye Gongzi allows us to join the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Mercenary Group and enter the Song Kingdom together, with Ye Gongzi's ability, we can all trust it, but if it is ......"

Ye Qiu looked at the scarred man and said: "I have already agreed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Kingdom, you can enter the Song Kingdom, but not as a mercenary group in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the Song Kingdom will not give you any identity, of course, you can invest in the military and exchange military merits for the status of the Song people." ”

After saying this, he stopped talking, but looked at the homeless people.

As soon as these words came out, someone suddenly shouted: "What kind of thing is this, isn't it to separate us people? If we really separate us people at that time, if the royal family of the Song Kingdom goes back on its word, won't they wipe us out without much effort?" We must not agree to this matter!"

The scar man said with a smile: "It's not that we can't trust Ye Gongzi, but we can't trust the royal family of the Song Kingdom." ”

He looked at Lin Feiyu and Yun Moming again, Lin Feiyu he had seen last time, and Yun Moming had dealt with him over the years, and they were all acquaintances, and then said with a smile: " Ye Gongzi came in person this time, and did not leave directly with the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary group, to be honest, I am already very grateful, the cooperation with the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary group over the years is also very pleasant, each has its own income, no one owes anyone, in the future, on this border, there will be no spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary group, there will be other mercenary groups, we people are used to it, or continue to stay in the mountains. ”

Ye Qiu fell into thought, and then said to the scarred man, "Can the mountain master take a step to speak?"

The scarred man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Ye Qiu walked towards a forest first, and these homeless people who followed the scarred man shouted, "Mountain Lord ......"

The man with the scar stretched out a hand, signaling everyone not to worry, and then followed Ye Qiu, these homeless people waited eagerly, they only hoped that the mountain lord would not agree to Ye Qiu's conditions, they had been in this mountain all these years, although they couldn't see the light, and even their families couldn't see each other, but in general, they were quite happy and happy, and they didn't need to look at anyone's face.

Ye Qiu stood in the snow, and the man with the scar walked behind him, but he didn't look back, but closed his eyes and stood with his hands in his hands.

The man with the scar was stunned, and for a moment, he actually felt that the young man in front of him had a proud momentum, that kind of momentum, like a king in the world, like a god overlooking the world, the young man who looked a little thin actually gave people a feeling of standing up to the sky.

This feeling made him dare not get too close, and he did not dare to speak and disturb.

Ye Qiu didn't turn around, he didn't speak, he didn't dare to speak first, just stood behind Ye Qiu, waiting.

Finally, when he felt a little unbearable, Ye Qiu slowly turned around, looked at the scarred man, and asked, "If I guessed correctly, you should have been a spy before, right?"

The scarred man was startled, his brows furrowed.

Ye Qiu continued: "It seems that I guessed correctly, but as for whether it is the Song Kingdom or the Yunxue Empire, or other countries, I can't guess, and I don't care. ”

The man with the scar didn't speak, but he was on guard, but with his realm, in the face of this young man, he couldn't raise any fighting intentions.

Ye Qiu continued: "I don't know who you're working for now, and I don't care who you're working for, but I can assure you that as long as you follow me, I will never treat you badly." ”

The scarred man's eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes narrowed into a line, as if he wanted to see something from Ye Qiu's face, but even if he read countless people, he still couldn't see through the young man in front of him who didn't even look like he was even twenty years old.

Ye Qiu said: "I need someone to help me pay attention to every move on this continent, whether it is the Yunxue Empire, the Song Kingdom, or the Nanyang Empire, whether it is the Northern Underworld Divine Prefecture, the Eastern Hao Divine Prefecture, or the Middle Holy Divine Prefecture." I want to cast a net on this continent, a very large net, so that no disturbance on this continent can escape my eyes. ”

When he said this, there was still no expression on his face, but the scarred man's eyes were already wide.

What does this teenager want to do?

He finally spoke: "This matter is not so easy to do. ”

Ye Qiu nodded and said: "I know, but how do you know if it works if you don't try?" And you are the only person I know who can do this, firstly, you are a spy yourself, and it is natural to have such a thing at your fingertips, and secondly, I think you will agree." ”

The scarred man fell into thought, and then nodded slightly: "This is indeed a great thing, if it is really done......"

He didn't continue, but said bitterly: "But this matter, with my ability, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

Ye Qiu nodded, "As long as you agree, I will find someone to help you, and I will try my best to meet whatever you need." ”

The scar man asked, "What if you need a strong Lingzun?"

Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Do you think I can get you a Spirit Venerable powerhouse now?" And I didn't let you spread the net all over the continent right now, even if I really give you a Spirit Venerable powerhouse, can you form this net overnight?"

The scarred man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said embarrassedly, "No." ”

Ye Qiu said: "Eat as much food as you want, otherwise be careful to kill yourself." I will give you three years to cast the net to every corner of the Song Kingdom, during this period, you can call on the strong men of the mercenary group in spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”

The man with the scar couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"

Ye Qiu said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you just need to do what you should do, and know that I won't treat you badly." ”

The scarred man nodded and stopped talking.

Ye Qiu said: "So far, only you and I know about this matter. ”

The scarred man said, "I understand. ”

Ye Qiu asked, "Then now, can those homeless people under your command enter the Song Kingdom?"

The scar man smiled and said, "In one night, I promise that no one will be left behind." ”

Ye Qiu said: "Since it is an organization, it should naturally have a name, what do you think is a good name?"

The scar man thought about it, the organization he was in used to be called Rakshasa , in addition, he also knew the names of many organizations like them, these names were strange, very atmospheric, called "Tianluo Net", and some were very poetic, called "Snow Moon Wind Flower", but no matter what the name, he felt that it was not enough taste.

"How's Shadow Stream?" he asked tentatively.

Ye Qiu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Shadow flow, shadow flow, like shadow, like flowing water, hidden in the dark, hidden under the water, gathering in the sea, can roll pearls and jade ......"

Ye Qiu suddenly asked, "Have you seen pearls?"

The man with the scar was stunned by this inexplicable question, nodded and said: "I've seen it before, during a mission, I saw a large string, and it was rumored to be taken from the sea in the east, and it was just a rough grain of gravel at the beginning, but it was constantly rubbed with the flesh by a spirit beast called the sandpiper mussel, and it formed a precious pearl." ”

Ye Qiu nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that you know a lot." ”

He suddenly sounded Zhou Kang, if this guy is here, can he say it in more detail?

He once read in the book that there are not only pearls but also jade in the sea, and once the waves hit, many pearls and jades will always be rolled out of the sea.

In his opinion, this continent is like a sea, and those geniuses in it are like pearls in the sea, and he hopes that the existence of the shadow stream is like a giant wave in the sea, which can not only turn over the river and the sea, but also roll up the pearl in the sea.

He waved his hand and said indifferently: "Go and prepare, you are the first member of the Shadow Stream, and you have already made a number, remember, I don't care what means you use, within three years, I want to understand any troubles in the Song Kingdom." ”

The man with the scar slowly retreated, leaving Ye Qiu standing alone in place.

The heavy snow kept falling on him, but he didn't move, looking at the sky with a pair of narrow eyes, and whispered to himself, "One day, I will hold the entire continent in my hands, what White Feather Family, what Cloud Snow Empire, what Dragon Clan...... Bell, wait for me. ”

"Little sister, wait for me. ”

"Wait for me, little. ”

"Qiu Xiaoyun, wait for me. ”

"Those who believe in me, love me, and understand me, I, Ye Qiu, will never let you down, never!"
