Two years later.

An understatement in the history of the empire: "Eighty-nine years of Lincang." It has been two years since the great drought, not a drop of rain has fallen, water sources have dried up, grain grains have not been harvested, and thousands of people are hungry. On the twenty-first day of March, the Zhenyi Restoration Army fought the banner of Heavenly Fury to revolt in Kunfang City. ”

The old traces dried up, and the new ink wet the page of history with strong blood: "On November 15, the Zhenyi Restoration Army captured the two cities of Kunfang and Ximu in Zhongnan with 10,000 soldiers and 50,000 cavalry of the empire. ”

Jin Ge iron horses lined up in mountains and rivers, and bloody wind and rain rolled up the storm.

And no matter how the wind and clouds have changed dramatically, the border towns south of Qianzhiling are not disturbed by the troubled times, and they are still a group of people living and working in peace and contentment.

In the casino, the excitement is still there. Although it was winter, there was a lot of people inside, and even the charcoal basin didn't need to be burned, and it could be hot and sweaty.

"I still don't believe it!" The broken silver ticket in front of the table was pushed out with a bang, and the big man roared, as if he had gambled red, "Lao Tzu continues to gamble!" ”

The long gambling table was full of people, and there was a man in a black robe sitting opposite him, who said unhurriedly: "Bet small." ”

He had a wine gourd pinned to his waist and a giant sword in front of his abdomen. Lazily crossed his legs, his thumb carelessly stroked the green stubble of his chin, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, his deep pupils were unfathomable, and he looked like a wandering swordsman was arrogant and conceited.

There was a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old sitting next to her, with a black and green silk half-silk and half-silk, a goose-egg face that was jade and snow-white, red lips and teeth slightly opened, bright eyes and eyebrows were smart and exquisite, and she revealed a charm of the city at a young age.

Half of the onlookers were watching the gambling game, and half were watching the beauty. However, the little beauty didn't care about anything, and only lowered her head and ate the chestnut cake on her plate intently.

At this time, the dice were thrown, and the big man stared at the spinning dice, and his eyes almost fell out, and when the dice stopped, the whole person went over and counted the points, and was almost so angry that he was about to flip the table. It's been an afternoon in a row!

"It's small again!" There was another cheer from the crowd.

And the person concerned just hung his eyes casually, raised his eyebrows slightly, bumped the elbow of the little apprentice next to him, and pulled his lips and said: "Your master and I can simply change my career to become a gambling king." ”

Jing Che finally raised his head from the deliciousness of the chestnut cake, glanced at Baili Fengma's slightly smug face, snorted disdainfully, and lowered his voice: "You have the ability not to cheat." ”

The fingers that had been curled up in a strange gesture spread out at will, signaling that he was no longer manipulating the dice. The corners of his mouth unconsciously blurred a smile, and he said, "Look at it, the master is going to make a big move." ”

Jing Che glanced at his mouth, and didn't bother to pay attention to him when he saw that he was so narcissistic that he couldn't do it, so he simply took the plate of chestnut cake and sat in a deserted place.

Everyone gathered around the table in the middle to watch the excitement, and the low tables for tea around seemed to be sparse. A young Taoist priest in a black and white robe sat there, drinking tea tirelessly one by one, holding a one-and-a-half-tall white flag flag with the two words "fortune telling" written on it.

Jing Che remembered that a year ago, Tianjizi Jianmo told her fortune, but said that her life was too strange and she couldn't calculate anything, and then impatiently drove her out of Rong Xuan Peak. She intuitively felt that Jian Mo's old thing must have seen something but refused to tell her, and she was always haunted by it.

Now seeing a fortune teller, although it looks like a magic stick that is indiscriminate, it still instantly makes Jing Che very interested. He sat down across from him and asked with a smile, "How much is a fortune teller?" ”

The Taoist priest's gaze followed the source of the sound vacantly, and it seemed that he should be blind. He winced his eyebrows in a direction that was not quite right, and said mysteriously: "I only count those who are destined." ”

"What's your name?" With a roll of his eyes, Jing Che suddenly changed the topic.

"Ah Ye."

"My name is Jing Che, you see we have known each other so quickly, even if it is fateful, tell me your fortune." His eyes were sparkling, full of anticipation.

Ah Ye didn't shirk, he took out a few hexagrams from his body and put them on the table, his eyes were closed, his slender fingers fiddled with the hexagrams, and he pinched his fingers to calculate carefully, and then his expression changed exaggeratedly, and said: "Girl, you are destined to be a bitter lover." ”

Jing Che chuckled in his heart: "What do you say?" ”

Ah Ye said: "The hexagram shows that you will have an unruly love with your master, you say, this is a relationship that is destined not to be together, isn't it bitterness?" ”

"Ridiculous!" With a flick of his sleeve, he stood up quickly, and the teapot on the desk suddenly shattered on the ground.

Inferior ceramic pieces fell all over the ground, but they were overshadowed by the hustle and bustle at the other end.

"Stinky god stick, pretending to be a ghost." Jing Che gritted his teeth and threw the messy hexagram on the table to Ah Ye, and went back to the middle table in a huff.

Ah Ye's gaze retracted a few points of focus, and a mysterious smile opened on the corner of his mouth - he didn't have time to really tell her fortune, so he naturally exaggerated nonsense to attract her attention.

Where did Jing Che see Ah Ye's abnormality, so he just sat down and returned to Baili Fengjian. It just so happened that the big man, who had lost all his net worth in a gamble, took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, slapped it on the table, and almost roared: "Come again!" It's a big bet! Lao Tzu has pressed all the deeds here! If you don't have the ability to win, I want the four fingers of your turtle grandson-"

"Hmm." Baili Feng half-hooked the corners of his lips, and responded nonchalantly.

The onlookers cheered excitedly, this bet is big, this is simply an outlaw's life-and-death gamble! Some people even blew a few shrill whistles, and the excitement was about to tear down the roof of this small casino.

Jing Che glanced at the handsome and merry appearance of Baili Fengjian, and the words of the stinky god stick sounded annoyingly in his ears again, and his heart became more and more unhappy. Just as the dice were rolled, she pinched a little trick with her hand.

The dice stopped, and the expression of Baili Feng was stunned.

"Hahahahahahaha," the man looked up and laughed heartbreakingly, "This time it's a big one!" Turtle grandson, I am going to take your fingers! ”

Jing Che continued to concentrate on eating chestnut cakes, and suddenly the back collar was lifted and dragged out of the small casino.

Feed! She eats half of the chestnut cake!

When he arrived at the pavilion on the hillside outside the city, Baili Fengma stopped, and threw Jing Che to the ground without pity, angry and funny: "You are a good master who sells one?" ”

Jing Che patted his ass and stood up, and sneered at each other: "If you lose the bet, you will run away, why are you so cowardly, and you still have the face to be a sword saint." ”

"Do you believe it?" He folded his arms and tilted his face at her.

"Here you go." More and more unscrupulously put his face in front of him to show off his might.

She knew that the words he hung on his lips, "beat you to believe it or not", "throw you out and believe it or not", and "the cliff should cut off the master-apprentice relationship", these words were always just words.

It's been two years, and she has long figured out his temperament and preferences, and she has challenged his bottom line again and again, so his bottom line has been pulled lower and lower by her, until she can't find it.

Anyway, in short, these two years are the lives of stinky farts narcissistic sword saints and girls who focus on raising the bar. He always forced her to admit that he was very powerful, but she always had to raise the bar with him, so the master and apprentice quarreled a lot, but they also lived peacefully and harmoniously for two years.

In fact, in the first half year of Jing Che's move to Yunqin Peak, they would still occasionally break out into a large-scale cold war. Because of the previous events, there are always pimples left in my heart. One is too free and easy to explain, and the other is too proud to stick to what he sees and refuses to change his mind. It wasn't until later that the master and apprentice had a long talk all night and finally clarified the previous misunderstanding.

Coupled with the grievances that Jing Che suffered when he first came to Nanqiong, Baili Fengjian also indulged her extraordinarily, covering the world with one hand to tolerate her. The disasters she caused by her audacity and recklessness were all ignored if he could. However, in the eyes of others, Jing Che has become the kind of wild child who is not loved by the master and has no one to discipline him.

However, neither of them cares about external objects, they don't care what others think, and they don't deliberately explain it.

As for bringing a little apprentice to the casino, which sounds a little out of the ordinary, it is not expected in Baili Fengjian. A year ago, he hid from Jing Che and wanted to come to the casino by himself, but unexpectedly, the little apprentice followed behind him, and he was called a master himself, but when he arrived at the casino, he became a pony with his hooves spread, and his gambling skills were staggering.

Once she won the money, she generously invited Baili Fengma to visit the flower building, called a girl, but did not allow Baili Fengjian to come in. The two of them didn't know that they were tinkering in the room, and when they came out, Jing Che had an extra burden on his body.

Later, Baili Kazuma finally saw the true face of Lushan in this package, and instantly blushed - it turned out to be a riding cloth. Only then did he know that the little apprentice had come to Kwai Shui.

Except for that time when they were barely prostitutes, eating, drinking, and gambling became the only hobby of the master and apprentice, and the two often sneaked out of Jiahuang Mountain, crossed the Thousand Ridges to the border town, or simply left Jiahuang Mountain openly, anyway, the entire Southern Dome Sect had nothing to do with these two people.

Who is a sword master, and the other is a descendant of the sword master.

It's been almost a year since I fell like this with the wind for hundreds of miles. But the master is always lonely, in recent months, Jing Che couldn't find an opponent in the casino, so he stopped doing it, even if he arrived at the casino, he just concentrated on eating all kinds of small pastries, today she found her true love chestnut cake, but halfway through the meal, she was pulled out by the instigated hundred-mile wind.

Why did this master die like this! Although he lost the bet, she was behind it.

"Back to the mountain." He is used to seeing her as a villain, and the best way to deal with her is to simply not answer her words, otherwise the little mouth will be open, gushing, and sharp, and it will not be blocked.

"I don't."

"If you don't reply, I'll reply."

"I don't care, you pay me chestnut cake."

This kind of chestnut is rare in the first place, let alone made into chestnut cake, and I am afraid that only that casino occasionally serves it in the entire borderland.

Women are so annoying. Baili Fengjian picked up Jing Che and stood on the sword, and without saying hello, he raised the sword and went to the direction of Jiahuang Mountain, and said with a poisonous tongue: "You can eat, you are as fat as a sow, and you can't live on such a big land as Yun Qin Peak." ”
