Chapter 280 Drinking This Cup Together (2)
If the sound of the qin is used as a martial art, then the strength of this martial art is not distinguished by the soul element attribute, but by the internal strength.
Zhao Yutian was taken aback and said, "Could it be that there are still qin killers in our world?"
Zhao Yutian naturally knew that the music of the martial arts world was also divided into categories, but he had not heard of rumors of killing people with a qin in the Jin Kingdom recently.
I saw Uncle Liu nodding and said: "You are right, but it's a pity that these qin killers are now only alive in the underground world because of their humble status, and they can't see the scene, so few people know about this ancient profession, even if they do, most of them don't dare to say it in front of outsiders because they are tortured by their life and death, only people like me who have been dealing with killers all year round can barely know a little bit of their details." β
On the side, Sima Youlan had also occasionally heard of the horror of this qin killer, but she didn't know how terrifying this qin killer was, so she had to listen silently on the side.
These are Uncle Liu's insightful insights to go south and north, and learning more about this kind of knowledge of the rivers and lakes will naturally benefit her and not harm her.
Zhao Yutian said: "So what clues do you have to deal with these killers in the underground world all these years?"
Uncle Liu said: "I only know that they are now under the orders of an old gang, this gang neither participates in the troubled times, nor does it never indicate which side they are, it is difficult to gain insight into what they think." β
Zhao Yutian said: "I heard that after the rebellion of the sixteen clans of my Jin Kingdom, this Qin Killer clan was jointly encircled and suppressed by several major families, and has begun to disappear.
Uncle Liu said: "More than ten years ago, these qin killers were prominent in the rivers and lakes for a while, causing a bloody storm in the world, people and gods were angry, killed many clan masters, and then blamed other families, in a vain attempt to provoke the fight between several major families, they were good to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but unfortunately in the end they were empty. β
Zhao Yutian said: "Could it be that they didn't do it carefully enough and left evidence after killing someone?"
Uncle Liu said: "No, because we, the masters of the authentic family, have fought with each other, and it is not so easy to be killed, after the fight, both sides know a little bit about each other, how to die, how to die, what kind of martial arts were killed, this will leave some evidence, and these qin killers are trying to confuse the truth with falsehood, they think that we are all fools, a group of stupid dogs, do not know the way of separation, and can't find out the hidden truth behind this!" Hahaha, it's really sad and lamentable, grandma's young people just don't know the depth of the rivers and lakes. β
Before Zhao Yutian could continue to ask, he only heard Uncle Liu continue: "They think that we people are stupid and can only eat dogs, and they don't know that we can inherit the family inheritance from countless battles, but it is not as easy to deal with and so easy to divide as they imagined. At that time, in the year after the rebellion of the Sixteen Clans, many families were enemies of each other because of their different positions, and their emerging Qin Killer clan tried in vain to take this opportunity to sit big in one breath, and those defeated families wanted to take revenge, so they went to invite them out of the mountain, and they also took this opportunity to strengthen themselves, and wanted to share a piece of the pie in this troubled world, but they didn't want to think about how to be conscientious, bury themselves in hard work, and be self-sufficient, but they engaged in such crooked ways, only knowing that today they separated me, and tomorrow they went to separate him, how could they succeed? If they lose their way, how will things turn out as they wish. β
Sima Youlan sighed, drank a cup of tea gently, and sighed: " I know that in such troubled times, there is no eternal alliance, at present, my Sima family and my grandfather Cao family because of my parents' marriage, in the eyes of the outside world, seems to be the same one, but I know that this is just my grandfather is just a delaying tactic, these years in order to curb the strength of my Sima family, my grandfather has secretly done a lot of small actions on my Sima family, such as giving chronic poison to the domesticated martial beasts of my Sima family, secretly creating reactionary public opinion, secretly bribing those who break the law, deliberately creating currency trade wars, and repeatedly conniving at his subordinates' greed in the military agreements formulated with each other, in addition to these, there are many moreγ β
Zhao Yutian suddenly felt very surprised, and said, "You know all these things?"
Sima Youlan said lightly: "I didn't know, and I didn't want to know, but I am the future heir of the family, Uncle Liu told me all these things that day, and he asked me what I thought." β
Zhao Yutian said: "Are you close to your grandfather?"
Zhao Yutian didn't ask what you thought, but asked like this, because he had to know her attitude towards his grandfather first.
Is it intimacy, is it strangeness? or something else.
This is the wisdom with which he speaks.
Sima Youlan lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "Hey, when I was born, he never came to hug me, I have never seen what he looks like or what kind of person he is since I was a child, and in order to practice, even my mother's birthday banquet will never come in person, maybe he thinks that after my mother marries, she will be a member of the Sima family, and there is no need to come and go." β
Zhao Yutian gently put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, with me, maybe I will make your grandfather change his mind, and maybe you will be united." β
Of course, anyone knows that for a man like his grandfather, Zhao Yutian's words are just a comfort.
Not to mention Sima Youlan's intelligence, he would never believe that there would be a day when even he felt that after saying this, he was like a fool.
But he had to say that.
Sima Youlan continued: "I don't expect this kind of thing from my grandfather at all, in fact, the most painful thing for my father is that he once planned to threaten his father with the life of his own daughter, fortunately, these things were strangled by Uncle Liu one by one, if he didn't know that our Sima family is not easy to deal with because of Uncle Liu's joining, I'm afraid they would have already started a war with my Sima family." β
Zhao Yutian said: "Then what do you want me to promise you? persuade your grandfather to join our Sima family?"
Sima Youlan shook his head and said: "I'm not naΓ―ve, my mother was born to a concubine he obtained after winning the war in the past, it can be said that my mother is not his daughter in his eyes at all, otherwise he would not come every time my mother's birthday, in my mother's words, I am afraid he has forgotten when the woman he was fortunate to gave birth to my mother." At this point, she remembered the painful experience of her grandmother and mother, and suddenly began to sob.
Zhao Yutian gently helped her wipe the tears and let her lie down in her solid chest.
At this moment, even if the magic pen is alive, it is impossible to sketch such a beautiful picture.
Sima Youlan sobbed for a while, and then said: " My mother is very sad every time she thinks about it, because she doesn't even know her birthday, my grandmother gave birth to my grandfather was killed by that group of women, my mother was rescued by an unknown master, and then escaped, and then my mother doubled her sword practice for revenge, and finally the truth made her not think at all, she was just a chess piece in her master's revenge plan, that is not a master, that is a use, after my mother knew the truth, she was disheartened, and was put into prison by my grandfather, never saw the light of day, and then my grandfather had a courtier suggestion, saying that I could use my mother's special identity to unite the Sima family, which met my father, and then under the mediation of Uncle Liu, they finally fell in love with each other, and my mother was reborn. β
After listening to a long speech, Zhao Yutian comforted: "This troubled world is really an era of cannibalism, but your grandfather is too attentive and not a man, how can a man allow a woman who has a relationship with him to die at the hands of others, this is a coward, saying that Xiaoxiong, he really looks up to him a little." β
Zhao Yutian always thinks about the good aspects first, although he doesn't believe how kind and benevolent the people in the martial arts world are.
It is only when everything really comes to that point that he will take some so-called measures and say something disrespectful.
Seeing him so comforted, Sima Youlan's heart was very complicated, lying in his solid arms, naughtily pulling his chest hair.
Zhao Yutian was not angry, although it was a little painful, he still had a happy smile on his face.
Seeing him like this, Sima Youlan only felt that she was the happiest woman in the world, and said quietly: "Hey, in fact, I know that in such an era, I, Sima Youlan, are really happy, you make me happy every day, my parents have created a foundation for me, and Uncle Liu is running for my throne, hey." β
Zhao Yutian seemed to be a little contemptuous when he heard her tone, raised her head slightly, and caressed her face, "My woman, you are not allowed to sigh like this, since the county lord knows this, you should make good use of these conditions that God has given you." β
Sima Youlan interrupted him, and suddenly said willfully: "You wait for me to speak, okay!"
The sudden willfulness makes her doubly cute and real.
Zhao Yutian had long been accustomed to her sudden willfulness.
Sima Youlan continued to say quietly: " If we women live in such troubled times, if our family background is not enough and we look beautiful, it is just a victory in the war, even if the family background is prominent, not born in a martial arts family like me, it is just a pleasure for men to enjoy victory, or even sold into nightclubs, and suffer thousands of humiliations, although I am beautiful, but I have my father's support behind me, so I am not like my grandmother's poor women, so humiliated, and painfully give birth to offspring who are not the men I love, and now, I have found my only one, I used to bully you like that, I am really wrong, hey, please don't really hate meγ β
Zhao Yutian didn't expect that she would have so much to say tonight.
In order to save time, Zhao Yutian said with a smile: "County Lord, how can you say it, just talk about those things, let's talk about the things at that time, after all, this will help me a little, don't talk about those things that those county lords bullied me in the past, okay?"
Xiao Hongyue said: "When we first walked into the inn just now, there were a few peerless horses, I have always liked famous horses, I was curious whether they were Western horses, or Beihai horses, I wanted to go over and see, these foals are very spiritual, knowing that I was a stranger, I was not allowed to approach, and almost kicked me a few times, and even a few fierce horses almost used beast strikes, but Childe was able to get close to them, and I guessed Childe's profession at that time." β
She turned out to be such a careful woman, no wonder she dared to create the rivers and lakes alone.
Zhao Yutian sighed, he couldn't imagine that he was a groom with such a use, so he had to smile bitterly: "Let the girl laugh, as you said, I have been a groom for five years." He spoke without the slightest arrogance, for he knew that groom was a humble profession.
Since the other party has seen through his profession, he has no choice but to tell the truth.
I only heard Xiao Hongyue continue: "But I didn't immediately determine Childe's occupation, and just now I saw Childe's hands covered with calluses, this callus is definitely not caused by sword training, nor is it caused by fishing, I have seen many people, and I have also been exposed to all kinds of professions, cooks, grooms, fishermen, killers, spies, assassins, etc., this groom's calluses are very distinctive, different from ordinary people, so I naturally guessed that Childe is a groom." β
After hearing this, Zhao Yutian subconsciously looked at these hands, the hand that used to hold the sword was now holding the reins, he didn't know how long this situation would last, and the pain in his heart was indescribable.
He looked at Xiao Hongyue, the other party, and didn't speak for a long time, such a smart woman, such a well-informed woman, he had seen it for the first time in this world.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder, since this girl has such a rich life experience, how old is she?
didn't care about so much etiquette, but Zhao Yutian couldn't wait to ask, "How old is the girl this year?"
Xiao Hongyue said with a smile: "Does Childe know that it is disrespectful to me to ask about a woman's age at will?" When she said this, she actually started pouring wine for Zhao Yutian again, and she didn't care at all.
Iceberg-like women have always had a sincere heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhao Yutian had no choice but to take a drink from his glass to apologize.
Xiao Hongyue saw him so polite, and she didn't hide it, "Dissatisfied with the son, I followed my mentor to walk the rivers and lakes at the age of six, and I am more than twenty years old this year. β
After hearing this, Zhao Yutian almost didn't spit out the wine in his stomach, because he was so surprised, he didn't expect this woman to be so young at all.
You must know that when I was 20 years old, I was still helping others wash dishes!
Xiao Hongyue poured him another glass of wine, "Don't be surprised, I am so precocious only because I lost my father when I was a child, and my mother also committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, fortunately, God is good to me, let me know my former teacher, I have followed my teacher through the world, and I have seen too many people." β
"What happened?" Zhao Yutian asked.
"Later, after I became an adult, my teacher entrusted me to the Songbai faction, and I became a disciple of the Songbai faction, originally he asked me to go to the Sima family, but I was young and ignorant, and there was a gap with the young lord of the Sima family, so it was inconvenient to go, I was willful since I was a child, and the teacher had to obey the meaning, as for later, my teacher performed tasks for the Sima family outside, especially in the northwest of the West Moon Country to perform various confidential tasks, and only came back to see me once in three years. Xiao Hongyue replied.
Young County Lord, could it be Sima Youlan? Zhao Yutian's mind was now in a mess.
The mentor does things for the Sima family?
He had to sort out the clues in his mind.
No, he still decided to hide his true identity, at least not for now, because the other party said that she was estranged from the county lord, what if her mentor was not a close confidant of the patriarch?
"If you can see the girl's teacher in the future, it will be a blessing for three lives. Zhao Yutian said.
"Actually, I know what he meant by arranging me in Songbai Peak, in today's troubled times, as long as a slightly smarter person knows. Xiao Hongyue replied.
Zhao Yutian admitted that this was a spy.
In this troubled world, there is a kind of spy who can act blatantly, this kind of spy is called "Mingma", but this kind of spy can only be planted in the weak enemy, this weak enemy because of his own weakness, taken by the other party's majesty or persecution, or even something on the table, knowing that she is a spy, does not dare to do anything with her.
This is the meaning of "Mingjian", there is no doubt that this Xiao Hongyue is the Mingjian of a secession regime, and this regime is the Sima family.
It's someone on his own side, Zhao Yutian sighed in his heart, this is really lucky.
It's just that he still decided not to tell his identity first, are they those who are against the patriarch elders, or the patriarch's people?
This is also a problem.
"Since the girl knows that I am a groom, why is she still called a son?" Zhao Yutian changed the topic, he knew that such a topic was not allowed to continue.
The other party is a smart person, and being able to tell him all this can only show one thing, the other party is not afraid of revealing it himself, and there must be a follow-up.
Xiao Hongyue drank a glass of wine and chuckled: "It's okay, it's okay, the groom will give generously for a mother and daughter? How can the groom be righteous and squander money for an old couple? How can the groom know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and also have a lot of insights into jade? Isn't the son laughing at me, Xiao Hongyue can't know people?" I know that Childe is now downcast only because of bad fate, it is a temporary measure, how could I, Xiao Hongyue, treat Childe as an ordinary groom, Childe's mood is extraordinary, and failure to break through the Mandate of Heaven is an extremely painful thing, but Childe is so open-minded, and as far as I know, Childe has broken through the Mandate of Heaven dozens of times, this state of mind of repeated defeats and battles, is it the horseman's doing?"
Her attitude of speaking was full of confidence, just like the queen mother who could preside over a banquet of 10,000 people, this kind of feminine spirit shown from the inside out made Zhao Yutian feel a little jealous in his heart.
Knowing people has always been the most intelligent wisdom, and it is the foundation of walking the rivers and lakes.
Zhao Yutian was silent, and after a long time, he continued to ask: "The girl is not afraid that my money is not easy to come by?" I am a horseman, it stands to reason that I have no chance to come to this kind of restaurant, and there are fraudsters in this world, isn't the girl afraid?"
Xiao Hongyue laughed loudly, "If Childe is tempted with words again, I will have to leave." β
Zhao Yutian had no choice but to shut up and listen to what this chivalrous woman had to say.
Xiao Hongyue suddenly stood up, picked up the light sword in her hand, and said while gesturing: "Childe, have you heard of sharpening a sword in ten years, and a sword god in a hundred years?"
"This is the swordsman proverb of the Jin Kingdom, and it was said by the sword god Wu Haizi of the current generation in order to inspire future generations," Zhao Yutian replied.
Wu Haizi is a generation of sword gods for a thousand years, but later everyone didn't know where he went, and some people still said that he lived in this world.
Xiao Hongyue nodded and said: "Although this Jin Kingdom has long been reduced to troubled times, but those ancient legends of sword gods are still indelible, these sword gods have also done humble things before they became famous, grooms, fishermen, and even cooks, but I don't think there is anything wrong with this, a good man's mind is nothing more than to endure humiliation and perseverance, I think Gongzi is such a person." β
After Xiao Hongyue finished speaking, she sat down again, and a heroic spirit was coming towards Zhao Yutian.
These words were iron-clad, which made Zhao Yutian feel very embarrassed, you must know that after he failed to break through the Mandate of Heaven seventy-two times, he almost retreated a little.
