Chapter 19: The North Mountain Society
In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice has passed, and Beishan Pass has reached the coldest season of the year.
The welcoming pine in front of the Yunjian Inn is wrapped in silver, which is extraordinarily enchanting. And the precious orchids, camellias, and azaleas that Qin Mian brought from the Jiangnan rudder ...... But it can only grow in her newly built greenhouse.
These flowers and plants transplanted from the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away are not because Qin Mian is romantic, but because the five-year Beishan meeting is about to be held in Beishan Town.
The Beishan Meeting is a martial arts event held by the Great Qin Empire in order to consolidate the frontier and gather people with lofty ideals in the rivers and lakes to jointly fight against the northern country. It is held once every five years, and through the big competition in the ring, the leader of the Northern Martial Arts League is publicly promoted.
The leader of the Martial Arts Alliance will be granted the right to act cheaply by the Great Qin Empire, and in times of crisis, he will have the right to recruit and mobilize all major rivers and lakes, including all the heroes of the green forest. Whoever dares to be recruited by the order will be beheaded by the Great Qin Empire.
This is also the whim of the Qin Palace, which came up with a method that was not a way.
Although in the eyes of some people in the rivers and lakes, this is a thug and a dog leg who acts as a court. But in the eyes of the world's famous factions and heroes from all walks of life, it is a rare power and wealth.
Since ancient times, power and wealth have moved people's hearts.
Since then, the Central Plains martial arts have been divided into four parts of the world. The northern martial arts take the Beishan Society as the alliance, the southern martial arts take the Jiangnan Society as the alliance, the Western martial arts take the Xijiang Society as the alliance, and the Eastern martial arts take the Taishan Society as the alliance.
The four major alliance leaders in the world will also go to Kyoto to participate in the big competition of the leaders of the world's martial arts alliance after the spring of the next year. The leader of the World Martial Arts Alliance will be awarded the champion of Enkewu by the Great Qin Empire and included in the bad people.
Five years ago, the world would lose all the four major alliances in the world. The leader of the Northern Alliance was captured by the Huashan faction's leader Jian Luo Yunpo, the leader of the Southern Alliance was accidentally beheaded by the Songshan faction's big disciple "Silver Fox" Ling Foxman, the leader of the Western Alliance was taken by the little-known Qingcheng faction saint "Embroidered Spring Knife" Ye Qiuhan, and the Eastern Alliance leader was captured by Penglai Zhenren, and the leader of the World Martial Arts Alliance finally fell into the hands of the "Silver Fox" Ling Foxman. All of a sudden, the southern martial arts became famous.
Three years ago, the "human slaughter" Qin Sangongzi suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes, and even picked the world's four major alliance leaders and eight green forests 9981 villages, which made Fox Man disappear unexpectedly. The head of the World Martial Arts Alliance was vacant, and the Southern Martial Arts was finally controlled by Qin Mian, the Jiangnan helmsman of the World Association. Since then, Qin Mian, the "snowflake needle in Mianli", began to become famous.
And the appearance of the Northern Killing Qin League this time has made this martial arts conference particularly concerning.
The Beishan Club is actually the most important event among the four major martial arts events. And there is not one. Because it is close to Beishan Pass, it is the most serious place for the Central Plains martial arts to face the provocation of the Northern Sect.
Not only that, in addition to the fact that the leader of the World Martial Arts Alliance will be included in the bad people and become bad generals, according to the convention, the leader of the Northern Alliance will also become a bad captain.
Although Qin Mian was not the leader of the Southern Martial Arts before, he was the hero of the Southern Martial Arts who "brought the Son of Heaven to order the princes". Otherwise, after Ling Foxman disappeared, the power that should have been the Songshan faction would not fall into her hands.
Perhaps it was precisely because the Great Qin Empire saw Qin Mian's potential that Wu Qing, the eunuch of the supervising army stationed at Beishan Pass, sent a bad order that this Beishan meeting would be run by the Tianxia Association, and let the alliance leader Huashan faction fall aside.
As soon as the news came out, not only the northern martial arts were in an uproar, but even the other martial arts were extremely shocked. After the Huashan faction, the largest faction in the north that has been inherited for hundreds of years, was killed by the Qingfeng Sword Mo Chen at the Cloud Inn, the face of the Huashan faction was once again pressed to the ground and forcibly rubbed.
This made the Huashan faction, which has always been the boss of the northern martial arts, lose face. Annoyed and furious, the Huashan faction sent Luo Xi, the head of the Seven Heroes, to the Cloud Inn to ask for the guilt, and at the same time, the assassination of the Tianxia Society on the rivers and lakes was also rumored. Moreover, the Huashan faction also knew very well that the reason why the Tianxia Society sent Qin Mian to Beishan Pass to take charge of the Beishan rudder was to run for the bad captain who was in charge of the sword of the sect gentleman.
simply don't do anything, and the Huashan faction will openly tear its face with the world.
The tense atmosphere gradually became solemn from the time Luo Xi arrived at the Cloud Inn.
In the warm pavilion, the fiery charcoal burned red, and the embroidery needle in Qin Mian's hand shuttled on the woolen gloves under the reflection of the firelight. She couldn't wait to fulfill her unfulfilled wish at the beginning.
Lang Qing, the master of the Shelter Hall, stood cautiously in front of her. When he was a small person before, Qin Mian was a well-known gentle and sweet beauty in the rudder, but all men were a little coveted in their hearts.
But since he became the hall master, he has become one of the masters of Beichuan Helm. He knew that this woman was the most unpredictable and fickle animal in the world. From time to time, he told himself not to be deceived by her gentle appearance.
In just a few days, because of the poor preparation of the Beishan Meeting. Under her thunderous dew, Wei Yan, the master of the Internal Affairs Hall, who has always been valued by her and known as "intimate Douban", not only lost a lot of good players, but he was also beaten half to death by her. Song Yi, the master of Juxian Hall, and Nie Yuan, the master of Tibetan Dao Hall, were originally famous heroes in the northern green forest. Song Yi is the head of the Longwei Dart Bureau, and Nie Yuan is the head of the eighteen villages in the northern green forest.
"Let's say, what kind of conspiracy does Luo Yunpo have with this old thing." Qin Mian glanced at Lang Qing and said with some dissatisfaction. In recent days, there has been a lot of movement in the Huashan faction. But Shelter Hall, as the head of the intelligence hall, didn't even know the whereabouts of the alliance leader Luo Yunpo. This made her extremely angry.
"Don't tell me why, I just want to hear the results." Without waiting for Lang Qing to report, Qin Mian said hatefully again.
Lang Qing suddenly sweated profusely on his forehead.
"Telling the helmsman, Shelter has deeply reflected on and investigated the outstanding problems existing in the previous stage, and has been seriously rectified and redeployed. At present, the butterfly dance of the Shelter Hall has entered the interior of the Huashan faction. The news just received that Luo Yunpo will arrive in Beishan Town on the day of the conference and will settle in the Huashan faction's residence in Beishan Town. In the meantime, Luo Yunpo will invite Mo Gao, the head of the Kongtong faction, the iron-handed madman, Chen San, the leader of the Shanhai Alliance, Chen San, the president of the Little Knife Association, Luda, the immortal hand of the Jiuxia Cave Master, and Jiang Kun, the iron-clad Liuhua, to discuss the Tao with martial arts in Huashan. And it will also facilitate the marriage of Qingcheng, the eldest disciple of the Kongtong faction, and Shaoyang Jianyangchun, one of the seven heroes of the Huashan faction......"
After listening to his report, Qin Mian said noncommittally, Lang Qing is the lightest of the four halls in terms of qualifications, but why did I hand over the Shelter Hall to you. You should understand that what I value is your character and spirituality. I want to remind you that as the old saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth. You have to understand it yourself, and when you understand it, you will be a qualified hall master.
"My subordinates understand." Lang Qing struck a stirring spirit and hurriedly bowed his hand.
"Luo Yunpo, this old thing is not small. We must attach great importance to it, and after we come down, you immediately discuss it with the Juxian Hall and the Tibetan Sword Hall, and quickly come up with countermeasures. First, I don't want to eat any wine, and I don't want to follow this part; Second, they don't want to talk about the Tao with martial arts, let's give them a chance. But the place and time have to be changed. The location was changed to Beishan Town, and the time of the big competition was advanced to start the gong, anyway, the time of the big competition every year is determined by the organizer, and we are not considered a violation. It's just that the time for the big battle is still in accordance with the old rules, the eighth day of the lunar month. Third, the Northern Sect should not be underestimated, especially those who sell their fields. One counts as one, kill! ”
Lang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and said again, his subordinates will do it.
Before he could reach the door, Qin Mian put down the embroidery needle in his hand and coughed lightly, where did Luo Xi, the Cloud Breaking Sword, go?
Lang Qing hurriedly replied, return to Yunpo.
Qin Mian thought about it, and immediately sneered, what a good place. You don't have to worry about that. I'll let Ah Feng go.
"Ah, Young Master Feng? But he's not one of our world! Is it suitable? ”
Qin Mian smiled and said, how inappropriate. My Qin Mian's man made a move, what opinion could the Elders' Council have.
"Yes. The elders have assigned you a marriage contract! ”
Qin Mian's eyes were cold and said, where did I get those old things to point fingers in my marriage Qin Mian. Go and do the things in your hands, and if you can't do it, you will see the head. This Beishan meeting is a great opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves, and we are bound to win the Northern Alliance. If there is any mess, don't blame the old lady for being ruthless!
After that, the embroidery needle in her hand popped out, and with a bang, it exploded the door behind Lang Qing.
Lang Qing was shocked, and her exercises became more and more powerful.
Behind the screen, Qin Feng was also surprised, why is your skill so powerful.
Qin Mian picked up the gloves he had just knitted, walked to his side happily, and put them on for him. "How about trying?"
Qin Feng had tenderness in his eyes, and replied gently, what you did was naturally good.
"Poor mouth!"
"I haven't been by your side all these years, and I owe you too much." Qin Mian took his hand and said with a sincere face.
Qin Feng waved his hand and said, the world is like this, fate is like this, what can I do about it. It's not your fault, and it's not your mother's fault. Now that you're by my side, I don't dare to ask for anything else.
Qin Mian was surprised, do you understand?
"What if you don't want to understand. After all, she gave birth to us and raised us for so many years. She must have a reason for doing that. ”
"There should be something unspeakable. Otherwise, she will never abandon you. You can figure it out, at best. The reason why I have been staying in the Tianxia Association is that I want to be able to take charge of the Tianxia Association one day and find her with the help of the power of the Tianxia Society. ”
"In the future, I will accompany you to find it."
"Good!"
The thoughts of the boy and girl were tightly pulled together. In the two fiery eyes, there was a warm smile.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Qin Feng coughed suddenly.
Qin Mian hurriedly put his hand on his forehead and asked with concern, do you have a wind chill?
"Nothing."
Qin Feng grabbed her hand and disguised, "It's not easy for you to meet in the world all these years. It's hard for you. ”
"It's not so easy to survive." Qin Mian sighed.
"Did the world really assign you a marriage contract?" Qin Feng asked suddenly.
The smile on Qin Mian's face stopped abruptly. She had thought about it many times and wanted to find an opportunity to explain it to him. But when the words came to his mouth, he could not say them. She was afraid that she would hurt him.
"You want to know?"
Qin Feng nodded heavily.
Qin Mian stood up, walked to the window, pushed the window open, faced the cold wind outside the window, brushed the bangs in front of his forehead, and sighed faintly, You should have heard it just now. That's the thing. The Council of Elders has always wanted to keep me in its hands, but it feels like I'm an immature wolf. Therefore, for the sake of the great cause of the World Society, they came up with the idea of marriage.
"Who is it?"
Qin Feng wanted to know who his rival in love was, and hurriedly asked.
Qin Mian turned around and wondered, very important? Must know?
"It's important, you have to know." Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said.
"Maybe that's the common problem of you men." Qin Mian sighed lonely, but soon continued, his name is Cao Shan, and he is the former leader of the Tianxia Association, who was born in the Penglai Pavilion of Penglai Immortal Island in the Eastern Martial Arts. Known as the "ghost hand", he is now a bad general of bad people. Currently, people are in Kyoto. I've never met him. But according to the Presbyterians, this man has a deep background. It is rumored to be the illegitimate child of someone outside the court.
"Okay, I'll kill him for you!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth, pouted his mouth, and cut the railway.
"Okay, if you have the opportunity to go to Kyoto, you will go and kill him."
Qin Mian shook his long hair and turned his face with a smile on his face.
"Okay. Now I'll go to Guiyunpo and kill this eye-catching one first. Qin Feng stood up and walked straight to the door.
Qin Mian hurriedly stopped him, "No, you're not going to kill him." ”
"What do you mean?" Qin Feng suddenly stopped his steps, and his face was puzzled.
Qin Mian walked to his side, picked up a cloak and scarf from the hanger, draped the cloak on his body, wrapped the scarf around his neck, and shook his shirt a few more times before he exhaled softly, "I want you to never make a move at the last moment, I want you to save him." ”
"Not to kill people, but to save people? You, what are you doing with this idea? Qin Feng frowned slightly. He has always killed people, and this is the first time he has saved people.
"Mother said that the fortresses were breached from within the enemy. I want to try. The news I got was that this Cloud Breaking Sword had a personal affair with that Qingcheng. But the Kongtong faction chose Yangchun. Don't you think it's weird? ”
"You mean someone wants to get rid of him by our hand?" Qin Feng's eyes widened in surprise, and soon a little mockery surged up on the corners of his mouth.
"That's right. I guess someone has already set up the game. Even if we don't make a move, we will be blamed and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
Qin Feng understood, but he felt that these old guys were too shameless. "Isn't it good to be above board, why bother with so many intrigues."
Seeing that he understood, Qin Mian solemnly admonished, "Be careful, don't capsize in the gutter." These people are very powerful. ”
"Got it. My little Li Feidao is not a vegetarian either. ”
Qin Feng didn't even look back, and waved his hand in a daze.
Seeing him go downstairs, Qin Mian sighed and said, Actually, I don't want you to go. But I'm really short of manpower. I can only work hard for you to make a trip.
Then she whispered again, Since Rentu recognizes you as a brother, I'm afraid that he also taught you a few tricks to press the bottom of the box. With the skill of the Cloud Breaking Sword, you may have a good chance of winning. But it's easier to save people than to kill.
Soon, she stomped her foot again and said, what do these old fellows of the Council of Elders mean? Why is it still nowhere to be seen? Is it hard to see the old lady's jokes?
As soon as she thought of this, she hurriedly called Nie Yuan, the hall master of the Hidden Sword Hall.
Nie Yuan is a northerner, over forty years old, but he has a baby face, he is very tall, he looks very majestic, and he is very imposing when he speaks. Seeing Qin Mian, he also lowered his eyebrows and said, "Helmsman, are you looking for me?"
"Guiyunpo, you send some more manpower, make a show, and dig out this fishing for my wife."
Nie Yuan thought for a while and said, then I'll take someone there?
"No, you can send a few reliable ones. You've got to stay, we still have a big show here yet. ”
Qin Mian waved his hand.
For the Huashan faction, the best shortcut is to find someone to kill her directly. As long as she is dead, the matter of the alliance leader will be settled.
So, she had to guard against it.
