Temples and rivers and lakes are all Vanity Fair.

The people of the temple, fame, family, and achievements are their 'name'.

For the people of the rivers and lakes, exercises, elixirs, and money are their 'names'.

Those who prevent them from obtaining these are mortal enemies who must be eliminated.

On the other hand, the person who helps them get these things is the 'friend' who must be linked.

Xiahou Liuhuo followed the old patriarch of the Jiang family, Jiang Cang, crisscrossing the battlefield and mediating temples for most of his life, he knew this truth.

Back then, after the old patriarch Jiang Chang Cang broke up Jiang Feng and Jiang Lan, the two brothers and sisters, the city lord Jiang Feng sank into the river and the sea, had no intention of loving Qing, and focused on martial arts.

Therefore, for Jiang Feng, he only has such a son as Jiang Ruisheng, and for the entire Jiang family, no matter how stubborn, delusional, discouraged, and paranoid Jiang Ruisheng is, the Jiang family's foundation must be handed over to him. 33

This truth, Xiahou Liuhuo, who has served the Jiang family for two generations, naturally understands.

......

The Xiahou family, originally the royal family of the Three Kingdoms Great Wei, was blessed by the mighty heaven, and their ancestors Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Tang were a generation of famous generals, and they were in the limelight in the Great Wei. However, after Shu Han unified the Three Kingdoms, the Xiahou clan, as the remnant force of Cao Wei, was not wiped out, but they also fell into the rivers and lakes and ended up scattered.

Just when the Xiahou family was about to collapse, Xiahou Liuhuo and Xiahou Liufeng's father, Xiahou Yu, met Jiang Cang, who was still a partial general at the time, and the two were like-minded, so they hit it off, Xiahou Yu entered Jiang Cang's army, and participated in the Qin and Han Wars with Jiang Cang.

As a decisive battle with a scale of more than one million people, the Qin and Han wars forty-seven years ago were extremely tragic, with tens of thousands of casualties on both sides every day.

After Xiahou Yu died in battle, Xiahou Liuhuo and Xiahou Liufeng obeyed Xiahou Yu's last orders, led the Xiahou people, and continued to follow Jiang Cang to fight, until the Qin and Han dynasties made the Sege River Covenant, and then returned to the Central Plains with Jiang Cang.

After the war, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded meritorious deeds, posthumously awarded the title of Marquis of Xiahou Yu, and at the same time, also arranged an official position of 1,500 stone for Xiahou Liuhuo and Xiahou Liufeng in Chang'an, and allowed Xiahou people to enter the office, which can be described as the emperor's grace.

Just when everyone was happy, there were serious differences in the Xiahou family, and most of the Xiahou people felt that they should continue to follow Jiang Cang and spread their branches in Quzhou, so as to wait for a better time to achieve family revival.

People have their own ambitions and can't be forced, and the Xiahou family settled down in Taihao City after a referendum.

And Jiang Cang can be described as a great courtesy to the Xiahou family, and all the children of Xiahou were arranged by Jiang Cang to hold important positions in his sphere of influence and become an important pillar of the Jiang family.

It can be said that the Xiahou family is the old team of the Jiang family, and the rise and growth of the Jiang family is inseparable from the bloody battlefield and strong support of his Xiahou family.

Time flies, with the end of the Qin and Han wars, the Jiang family gradually grew bigger in the hinterland of the Central Plains, successively subdued two dogs, two wolves, one eagle, and one snake, and defeated the eight old clans of the Central Plains. In just forty years, the Jiang family has formed an alliance of interests that integrates multiple forces, and the Xiahou family's right to speak is getting smaller and smaller.

The house leak coincided with the rain, and the Xiahou family after the Xiahou Liuhuo and Xiahou Liufeng brothers ushered in the withering of talents and heirs, and because there was no leader in the next generation, some important positions in Quzhou were replaced by the children of the Jiang family.

In other words, the Xiahou clan's presence in the Jiang family's power is getting lower and lower.

In order to keep the Xiahou family firmly tied to the chariot of the Jiang family, the Xiahou family must swear allegiance to the new master, no matter how unpopular the new lord is.

This truth, Xiahou Liuhuo understands more than his younger brother Xiahou Liufeng.

Therefore, when this trip is about to end, no matter whether Xiahou Liuhuo is satisfied with Jiang Ruisheng or not, he must show his loyalty in order to continue his glory.

In order to prosper the family!

......

At this time, in the cave, Jiang Ruisheng and Xiahou Liuhuo 'Lang Qing concubine', the two hit it off, and since then, Jiang Ruisheng has won the full support of the Xiahou family.

Just as the two of them were whispering, a loud and mixed voice came from the valley, "Jiang Ruisheng, do you still have something dead?" ”

Jiang Ruisheng sneered disdainfully, faced the sky, and sneered, "A group of idiots, the fun of fighting with me is full of these defective products. ”

Xiahou Liuhuo stood proudly beside Jiang Ruisheng, and said coldly, "Who is coming, don't dare to show up?" ”

There was no echo in the hollow.

Xiahou Liuhuo sneered, "Killing chickens and slaughtering dogs is not enough to worry about!" ”

Jiang Ruisheng slowly said to Xiahou, "Let's go, Uncle Xiahou!" Whether my nephew dies in the Taibai Mountains or not, this journey should be over! ”

Jiang Ruisheng thought that even if he couldn't win the battle, he could retreat safely.

But you have a spear, I have an iron shield, and there is only one line between calculating and being calculated.

Jiang Rui had just stepped out of the cave before his death, and a sword aura like a bullfight quietly broke out of the ground.

The master of the sword qi seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and at this moment, he finally waited for his prey, Jiang Ruisheng.

I saw a rusty remnant sword, moving like thunder, rushing out of the ground and stabbing straight at Jiang Ruisheng's lower body.

Jiang Ruisheng and Xiahou were furious, and at the same time showed a shocked expression.

The remnant sword came from the ground, from the bottom to the top, the cave had a roof, and it was impossible to dodge, Jiang Ruisheng was basically a dead end.

Jiang Ruisheng saw that there was no way to avoid it, and Xiahou Liuhuo was the first to react, his body bowed slightly, and he slapped Jiang Ruisheng's back spine with one palm, swinging it out of the cave, helping Jiang Ruisheng resolve the crisis.

In an instant, the sword arrived, Xiahou was not afraid of the high fire skills, and immediately turned his palm into a finger, and when the remnant sword arrived, it passed through it accurately and the second finger of the index finger, which was just right.

Xiahou Liuhuo was thoughtful, he smiled, put his two fingers together, and said "stop", pinching the body of the remnant sword accurately, and the arm that broke more than half of the ground could no longer go up.

The assassin who was dormant in the ground was shocked to see that his full force could not be effective, and he used his strength several times in a row, and the opponent's two fingers were like cast iron, and they did not move.

said that it was slow and fast, and after the old and spicy Xiahou Liuhuo stuck the remnant sword, he immediately kicked out and kicked the lateral brachioradialis muscle of the unearthed arm.

Xiahou Liuhuo is extremely confident in his own strength, since he can easily catch his sword, it means that the other party's cultivation is not as good as his own, he gathers his thoughts, and pushes his strong foot down, this arm will definitely leave the body, lose his arms, and the life and death of this assassin under the ground will not matter.

Boom, that arm was unexpectedly kicked out by Xiahou Liuhuo, smashed on the cave wall, and shattered into powder, Xiahou Liuhuo secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, and lowered his head and dragged out the underground 'man' to see that it was actually a straw man who was manipulated.

Xiahou Liuhuo was furious and roared, "The evil of the grass demon and the worm dares to deceive the old man? Damn it. ”

Xiahou Liuhuo was about to find the real assassin, and outside the cave, the sound of pain and murmuring suddenly came.

Xiahou Liuhuo 'groaned' in his heart, and immediately reacted, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim, 'Oops', he mistakenly fell for the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he hurriedly jumped out of the cave.

In the open space outside the cave, there was a shocking bloodstain, and Jiang Ruisheng lay on the snow, bleeding from his abdomen.

Looking up, outside the Eight Hongs, a swordsman walked away with a sword, and his speed was extremely fast, it should be the assassin who assassinated Jiang Ruisheng.

The swordsman hurriedly turned his head and looked at Xiahou's fire, the masked swordsman turned around and shouted, "Old Xiahou, the helper said, one knife for one sword, with injuries with injuries, with death with death!" ”

Seeing that the black shadow had turned into a black spot, Xiahou Liuhuo knew that it was useless to chase him, so he hurriedly ran to Jiang Ruisheng's side, helped Jiang Ruisheng up, and poured his thoughts into him.

Jiang Ruisheng's eyes gradually turned from red to black, Xiahou Liuhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, this swordsman has no murderous intent, otherwise, young master, your life would have to stay in the Taibai Mountain Range." ”

Jiang Ruisheng stretched out his hand to cover the wound in his lower abdomen that was pierced by the sword, and smiled freely, "Uncle Xiahou, where is the sacredness on the other side?" ”

Xiahou Liuhuo pondered, "Looking at Quzhou, there are not a few swordsmen who can send swordsmen above the realm of breaking the city. However, the only one who can send assassins above the realm of breaking the city is the Tiger Gang! ”

Jiang Ruisheng moved slightly, grinned in pain under his abdomen, and said helplessly, "When did I offend the great god of the Tiger Gang?" ”

While healing Jiang Ruisheng's injuries, Xiahou Liuhuo pondered for a while, and finally said, "Young master, the old man has a secret of the rivers and lakes here, I don't know if the young master is interested?" ”

Xiahou Liuhuo's practice, on the one hand, was to divert Jiang Ruisheng's attention and allow himself to better heal him; On the one hand, it is to show Jiang Ruisheng his erudition and reflect his own value.

Jiang Ruisheng didn't think much about it, and said, "Uncle Xiahou, but it's okay to say it. ”

Xiahou Liuhuo paused for a moment and said, "How much does the young master know about the battle of Gyeonggi thirteen years ago?" ”

Jiang Ruisheng's lips were defeated, and he smiled, "I've heard a little!" ”

Xiahou Liuhuo said, "Thirteen years ago, the second prince came into the world, and the world clan was divided into two factions in order to establish a new gong from the dragon, the world is called the Great Prince's Party and the Second Emperor's Party, and my Jiang clan is the Great Emperor's Party, and Liu Quansheng, the father of Liu Pingtian on the other side of the mountain, and now Sai Beili, the leader of the Tiger Gang, are the Second Prince's Party. ”

As Xiahou's thoughts of flowing fire slowly infiltrated Jiang Ruisheng's body muscles, Jiang Ruisheng's pain began to ease, and the face on his face was no longer hideous.

Xiahou Liuhuo was immersed in the past, and continued in a slow voice, "The two sides first fought wit, and later, it gradually evolved into a fight. The masters of our two sides fought from the sky to the underground, from the deep sea to the top of the mountain, and finally, from the local to Gyeonggi. Chang'an City that night was like Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang, scorched earth, and blood stained with frost! ”

Jiang Ruisheng was indifferent and asked, "What happened later?" ”

Xiahou Liuhuo said, "In the battle that night, the Second Prince's Party was almost wiped out, and the infant Second Prince and his biological mother returned to the West together. However, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and now there are still a small number of the two princes scattered everywhere in the rivers and lakes, but they are no longer a threat to us, and the major clans are busy fighting for power and profit, and they can't make a fist with five fingers like back then, so they will no longer chase and kill. ”

Jiang Ruisheng smiled bitterly, "So, if you provoke Liu Quansheng's son, you will provoke Saibeili, right?" ”

Xiahou Liuhuo nodded.

Jiang Ruisheng smiled bitterly and was speechless.

It's hard to mix the rivers and lakes!

I don't know what I did wrong, and I provoked the king on the mountain!

Some people died, but not completely......
