General Pingnan led the army to Yunnan to suppress the bandits, and at the same time took away the tiger talisman that commanded the three armies, although the three lieutenant generals were left to carry out daily drills in the army, but they only recognized the holy decree, only the tiger talisman, and only the Tang Zishu. This change made some people in the court only stare wide-eyed, break their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, not to mention the dog-biting hair, Cangzhou Eighteen Cities simply ignored those ministers of the court who could only hold a pen and pretend to be high in front of them.

Thinking about it, Lord Bai's life in the imperial court was not easy.

Ziwei Mansion, in the wing room on the second floor.

Qin Younian sat on the wooden chair and touched his chin, and said, "Lord Bai knows that Ye Luzhu is a dispensable person to the prince, why do you have to go to great lengths to protect her even if you offend people?" ”

For Ye Luzhu, if the truth is not revealed, he may not be sad, and he can still go to the dyeing workshop to work without worry, and help his neighbor Mrs. Chen do some heavy work when she returns home from work.

Zhu Fatzi's eyes dodged, how could he not know what the hell Qin Younian had in his heart, but seeing Qin Younian with his hands on his chest, he looked like he would not give up without asking the end, sighed, and said: "Everyone has the value of existence, Lord Bai takes a fancy to the royal blood carried by the green bamboo girl, that is the bargaining chips, as for whether the chips are more or less, whether they can have an impact on the prince, it is better than nothing." It is better for the green bamboo girl to be alive and in our hands than to die. ”

Qin Younian was silent.

Zhu Fatzi lay on the table with his hands on his hands, put his chin on his arm, looked at the blue and white wine glass in front of him, and said: "When a person's value is used up, it is not as good as the weeds on the roadside, and they will be discarded casually, or trampled to death with one foot, just because it is an eyesore." We were born in the same land and live in the same spring breeze, but our fates are completely different. ”

Qin Younian's eyes were full of color, and the back of the wooden chair suddenly straightened, and then he got up and walked to the window, squinting at the river outside the window, and there was an old man in a cloak who took a small boat to cast nets to fish. Qin Younian retracted his gaze and murmured softly: "Let's see you at the peak." ”

After a pillar of incense,

The high chieftain who was struggling returned to the wing room, and one person held an osmanthus flower in his hand.

At this time, it is autumn, and the osmanthus is fragrant, so many people will insert one or two osmanthus flowers in their homes.

After sitting down, seeing the strange atmosphere in the house, Chief Gao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Big brother, fourth brother, don't really say it, the maids of Ziwei Mansion are not worse than the girls in Youfeng Laiyi Building, and one or two faintly win a little." Literati describe beauties as beautiful and delicious, I didn't believe it at first, but I was really full after going out for a walk. Damn, being cultured is different, and according to me, it's a thin waist and a big ass. ”

Gao Shou scratched his head and said puzzledly: "Second brother, what are you doing, how can there be a maid to see in the thatched house?" ”

Chief Gao was furious, and immediately glared at Gao Shou, who had no eyesight, and whispered, "Shut up!" ”

Gao Shou sighed softly, looked at Qin Younian by the window, and Zhu Fatzi, who was lying on the table in a daze, didn't see the reason, so he lowered his head to drink and eat vegetables, and was pulled by Gao Chief to the thatched house before he was full, and he was even hungrier when he came back.

A yellowed fallen leaf happened to fall from in front of his eyes, Qin Younian reached out to catch it, put it in front of his eyes to look at it, and said: "Second brother, since the painting girl is so ignorant and doesn't understand the second brother's mind, why don't we brothers raise some silver for you, which maid in Ziwei Mansion has a fancy to, and redeem her for her, if you don't marry her, let her be a maid who warms the bed, anyway, the silver can't be spent in vain." ”

There is a Fenglai Yilou in the wind and moon, when Qin Younian just returned to Baiyan City, walking on the street and hearing a lot of people talking about this matter, secretly said that this painting girl is very serious, as the first Oiran in Baiyan City, the handsome son he has seen is like a cloud of smoke, as long as he agrees, he can sleep with gold and silver treasures. She is a daughter and a woman in the Qinglou in the lower ninth rate, and when she waits for the old pearl yellow, she will be even more unbearable from a humble background, rather than going to the golden house and jade eaves to be angry, it is better to find a poor scholar to do that palm treasure, who knows that the wishful thinking failed, touched a nose of gray, and was smart but was mistaken by cleverness.

Zhu Fatzi raised his head, slapped his palms, opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother's idea is good, which girl does the second brother like, tell the eldest brother quickly, and the eldest brother will help you appreciate it." ”

Qin Younian pursed his lips, yes, in the eyes of Zhu Fatzi, appreciating beauty is always different from others.

Gao Shougang swallowed the chicken thigh meat and muttered, "What is there to appreciate in the thatched house?" Just a square piece of land, a pit in the ground, and a stack of papers next to the pit. ”

Chief Gao's nose was almost crooked, he slapped the back of his head, and said angrily: "Eat your food, drink your wine, you will be crazy if you say so many things." ”

Gao Shou's face was bitter, and when he saw that the second brother was really angry, he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he could only bury his head in hard work and turn his grief and anger into food.

Qin Younian threw away the fallen leaves in his hand, let it go with the wind, turned back to the chair, and chuckled: "This move of the painting girl not only secretly belittled herself, but also slapped the faces of a group of sons and masters in Baiyan City. There is a Fenglai Yilou is the sad place of the second brother, or tomorrow we will go to the river painting boat for a visit, the arms are fragrant and soft, and the eyes are beautiful and the landscape is beautiful. ”

When Zhu Fatzi heard this, he shook his fat head vigorously and said: "There are only two or three painting boats on the river, and none of the girls in them can compare to the Fenglai Yilou, I won't go." ”

Chief Gao raised his glass, touched one with Qin Younian, and said with a smile: "Which girl can't compare, it's clear that there is no Mother Yang on the painting boat, counting the days, Mother Yang seems to be full of blood, and the eldest brother's mind is probably alive again." ”

Gao Shou suddenly remembered something, raised his head sharply, and said: "Yes, the two girls who know the books and Dali can miss the fourth brother, and they can't go anywhere else anyway." ”

"Hahaha......" The four laughed heartily, all raised their wine glasses, and called the maid to serve four more pots of rouge.

Although rouge is precious, it is not as good as burning the throat of spirits, and then entering the chest cavity is like a fire, there is no such hearty pleasure, relatively speaking, a lot of rouge, it can only be drunk as water, if it is not too expensive, Qin Younian waved his hand, and directly held the jar and drank it more happily.

It's almost evening,

Seeing off the three sworn brothers, when Qin Younian went home, he saw a woman in plain clothes at Mrs. Chen's house, with a high plate of green silk, a waist as thin as a weak willow supporting the wind, and she was rolling up her sleeves to draw water from the well, but she couldn't control her fate because of her life experience.

Qin Younian shook his head and returned to the small courtyard, opened the door, and a wooden and beautifully crafted sword box came into view.

Walking forward, the surface of the sword box was engraved with dragon patterns and sword patterns, which were simple and atmospheric, which made Qin Younian happy at a glance.

Qin Younian untied the wooden box behind him, took out the demon scale sword, and slapped the machine on the sword box, the wooden bars on the left and right sides fell instantly, with six swords inserted on the left, five swords inserted on the right, and eleven swords of different shapes, some long and some short, all of which could not be held without a hilt.

"Yes, yes, it's all made of dark iron."

Qin Younian put the demon scale sword into the main sword slot of the sword box, sat down and carefully looked at the eleven strange swords in front of him, some opened the double-edged blowing hair and broke the hair, some opened the single-edged sharpening iron like mud, and some had a blunt edge and broken bones and broken internal organs, each with its own wonderful use, it can be seen that the sword-casting master has put a lot of thought into it.

The ends of the eleven swords are engraved respectively, Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhi, Both, Array, Column, Front, Line, Earth, Xuan, eleven words, corresponding to the twelve odd words, and the last Tianzi refers to the demon scale sword in the main sword slot.

Qin Younian closed the sword box very satisfied, Zhu Fatzi was right about one thing, his business, Zhu Fatzi was doing his best.

suddenly

There was a strange noise in the yard.

Qin Younian immediately put his hand on the sword box and shouted, "Who? ”

Suddenly there was a deep laugh outside the house, "It's you and me, stinky boy, come out quickly." ”

The old man is coming!

Qin Younian was overjoyed, and immediately walked out of the house, and saw the old man with two jars of wine on the table, crossing Erlang's legs, touching his chin and a handful of goatee, looking at him with a smile.

The old man beckoned and said, "Stinky boy, Lao Tzu, I went to the outside of the north, fished in the Tianshan Immortal Pond for a few days, and passed by Baiyan City when I came back, so I came to see you." ”

Qin Younian sat down, lifted the lid of the altar, and asked straight to the point: "Old man, apart from Li Yinshan and Xuebaiyi, who else are your people?" ”

The old man thought for a while, raised his sparse eyebrows, and said: "Except for Jian Lao Jiu, you don't know anyone else, it's useless to say it, stinky boy, as long as you know that they are dedicated to you, even if there is a cliff in front of them, if you let them jump, they won't frown." ”

The old man patted the wine jar, "Don't use a bowl?" ”

Qin Younian nodded and said softly: "Hold the jar and drink, bold." ”

The old man waved his hand, hugged the jar and took a sip, the wine flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and after putting down the jar, he shook his head and said, "I'm not used to drinking." ”

Qin Younian tapped the wine jar with his left knuckle and said with a smile: "It's good to get used to it." ”

Holding a wine glass, drinking wine with a wine bowl looks crepe, he is not a scholar, and walking in the rivers and lakes doesn't make the people on the rivers and lakes look flat?

Easy things, difficult things, bad things, people's weddings and funerals, beds, snow, rain and dew, and the camp tents on the battlefield are just a jar of wine.

If one jar of wine is not good, then two jars, three jars...... Until it is filled with thousands of feet of red dust, the soldiers are drunk and lie on the battlefield, and the knights are drunk with a sword!

Wouldn't it be better?

The old man laughed and said: "That's right, Yuan Shengqiu, who is in the line of Confucianism and Taoism, was very romantic when he was young, and he was among the thousands of flowers, and the leaves did not stick to his body, which made many women secretly sad." It's just that later, their brothers and sisters turned against each other, and when the book was burned and the sword was broken, Yuan Shengqiu was disheartened, and he lingered on the rivers and lakes for decades, and was also laughed at for decades. After the incident in Liang'er Mountain, Yuan Shengqiu knocked on Guanyin Mountain and did not kill anyone, so that the old guys at the head of each faction had no sound from then on, even if the leader of the sword was the first in the world, he nodded pertinently. ”

Qin Younian's eyes were stunned, "Shepherd old ghost? ”

"Not bad. Everyone in the world says that in order to fight for the first place in the way of the sword, the luck of the world has been cut off, the true martial arts are not visible, and the gods of the sword are not visible, but in fact, it is not. The old ghost of the shepherd has been sitting firmly in the half-step true martial arts realm for twenty-one years, a sword can make the Nine Heavens Galaxy pour out, and it is not a problem to cut off the flow of the three rivers angrily, and now I am afraid that he is completely among the true martial arts realm, and he can be the first kendo leader in the world, otherwise how could Chen Kongqing of the Imperial God Machine dare not save the sword Lao Jiu. ”

The old man went to the kitchen to get a bowl by himself, drank two or three bowls to moisten his throat first, and then said: "It is precisely like this that the dynasty surnamed Su is willing to give up the Ten Swords of Nightfall, and does not want Guanyin Mountain to become the second Hanging Mountain Sword Sect. In this way, the people they have abandoned can be used by you, and you will be able to correct their name. ”

Qin Younian saw the old man's rare seriousness, hugged the wine jar and poured a few sips, and the rice wine overflowed along the corners of his mouth and wet the clothes on his chest, and he didn't care about it.

The old man looked much more elegant with the bowl.

Putting down the altar, Qin Younian wiped the wine stains on his mouth, and said: "Sword Nine seniors are like this, and so is Uncle Xue, old man, you and the old immortal are doing this, since it is not to avenge the Hanging Mountain Sword Sect, then why?" has no power or power, and he can't break those people in the court, so he asks for his own hardships. ”

The old man looked up at the crescent moon that had just risen in the sky, and said, "If you can't break your wrists, then you will cut off their hands with a knife, and if they are noisy, then you will gouge out their tongues, and if they still do not listen, you will cut off their heads." ”

Qin Younian was stunned for a moment, the old man drank very well, why did he talk nonsense before he got drunk? It's really as simple as this, the shepherd has already been unveiled and claimed the king, why should others give him the title?

Qin Younian glanced at the old man, got up and poured him full of wine, sat down and said: "Old man, if you don't brag, you will die, I know that you and the old immortal are masters of the rivers and lakes, and they are just on the rivers and lakes, fortunately, the wind is not strong today." ”

The old man's hand stroking his beard shook and pulled out a few whiskers, grinning in pain, and his son's disbelief almost made him crooked his nose, and immediately scolded: "Stinky boy, you just flashed your tongue in the wind." If it weren't for your mother........."

The old man stopped in time, and secretly said that it was not good, what should have been said was said, and what should not be said was almost said.

Qin Younian was not so easy to fool, so he quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong with my mother?" Old man, you said that the old tomb behind the house belongs to my mother, and I have to go to worship it every festival. Three months ago, a heavy rainstorm washed away the old tomb behind the house, and the uncles and aunts of Xiangyang Village wanted to repair it for us, only to find that it was just an empty tomb. Old man, you said my mother is dead, but what about my mother's grave? Where is it? ”

The old man's expression froze, and then he hid it well, and sighed: "It was my fault at the beginning, your mother was angry with me when she gave birth to you, but in fact, your mother is not dead." ”

Qin Younian frowned, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "Why don't you go and get my mother back." ”

The old man scratched his head, looked at Qin Younian, who looked angry and his wife was withdrawn, and said embarrassedly: "Don't dare to look for it, I'm afraid of your mother!" ”

Qin Younian asked, "Why did you lie to me that my mother was up?" ”

The old man said quietly: "It's your mother who said it, and she will take you back when the time is right." But at the moment, your mother's situation is not very good. ”

Official complaint: (Qin Younian, your mother is not dead, is it unexpected?) ）
