"Quick! bring me wine!" As soon as Gong Yi entered his own mansion, he hurriedly grabbed his wife Lin's hand, and said happily all the way: "Oh! The fourth child is unlucky today! The eldest brother opened the ancestral hall, and in front of all the clan elders, he believed that he was the mastermind behind the assassination of Yinxue, if it weren't for the eldest brother's brotherhood, I am afraid that the fourth child would have been locked up in the dungeon now." ”

Lin Shi was shocked when he heard this: "It's so big? Could it be that the assassin of Yinxue is really the fourth?"

Gong Yi smiled mysteriously, and his knife-like cheeks were full of cunning: "Do you think that with the elm head of the fourth child, he will do things in such a roundabout way? If he wants to kill Yinxue, he is afraid that he will break into her yard directly with a knife......

"Then how can you ......" Lin closed the door carefully, a little puzzled.

"Do you remember the Mr. Gao I knew before?"

"Of course I remember! In order to envelop this Mr. Gao, you gave away all the good jade that the master gave you when he was there. When it came to this, Lin Shi showed regret, "That's a rare good thing......"

"You're a little kid. Gong Yi took the wine jug and wine cup handed by the Lin family, poured himself a drink first, and then said: "It's just a piece of jade and a stone, if it weren't for this Mr. Gao's plan, how could there be today's show?

"Okay, okay, I'm a woman, I'm a little family, you're a man, you're so generous, so generous that you take my dowry. Lin looked at him and didn't get down to business, and complained: "What arrangement did Mr. Gao make, you said!"

Gong Yi said proudly: "To tell you the truth, I secretly spent money on those assassins today, a full three thousand taels!"

"Huh?" Lin covered his mouth, looked at Gong Yi in amazement, stretched out three fingers, and exclaimed, "You found it......?"

"It's still Mr. Gao who is amazing, he gave me a way, let me find these guys who want money and don't want to die, but I didn't go directly to ask them to do things, I bribed a few people under the fourth child, and passed some news to the Zheng steward around the fourth child...... It's strange to say, on weekdays, I see that Lao Zheng has no ambitions, and he only knows to follow the fourth child and keep his head silent, but this time he dared to make an idea and made a decision on his own. In order not to let Yinxue's new aunt enter the door, lest he block the way of his young master when he worships his ancestors and breaks into the underground palace next year......"

"Under Mr. Gao's arrangement, those assassins seemed to meet Lao Zheng by chance, on the one hand, the outlaws were just seeking money, and on the other hand, they were worried that they could not find a master to do things, and the two parties hit it off, and he was also self-righteous and bargained with others, I didn't know, I had already used money to settle everything......"

"But even if the assassins are extraordinary, are the big soldiers patrolling the city dead?"

"Where is there still patrolling! When the convoy passed through Changyang Street today, there were several streets on the left and right, and there would be no soldiers from a patrol battalion ......" Gong Cheng sneered, shook his head and said: "But now, no one can have the ability to track down who instigated Du Qing and several other adults......

"Why is that?"

Gong Yi continued to sneer, "With the temper of the eldest brother, no matter who these people spit out of their mouths, as long as they are related to our public losers, do you think they can still save their lives? The eldest brother has already made a decision in the ancestral hall, it seems that the fourth steward is self-defeating this time......

He showed a little regret again: "Alas, why do you say that Yinxue's dead girl is really so hard? Such a careful arrangement, and a Northern Barbarian master participated in it, and even let her pick up a life! The man next to her, Qin Ke...... The skill is really powerful, and he is worthy of being the one who can hand the sword to the tip of the throat of the fourth child. Steward Zheng's concerns are not groundless......"

Thinking of this, he poured himself three glasses of wine one after another, drank all the cups, and then said with a long sigh: "However, since the eldest brother punished the fourth child in front of the clan elders, the position of the head of the family in the future has nothing to do with him at all, heh." ”

"Really?" Lin Shi was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and only then did he come back to his senses slightly, "So, the fourth master is really out of play?"

"As long as the eldest brother is still there for a day, the fourth brother will not want to come out of his yard for a day. Gong Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "Just his brain, and the unreliable Lao Zheng under his hand, how can he fight with me?"

The Lin clan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he remembered Yinxue's light face in his mind again, and frowned: "But what about Yinxue's side? Didn't you say that she was collecting evidence and planning to sue you in front of the clan elders?"

"It's a problem. "Gong Yi lowered his eyebrows," but there is no way, I can only let Mr. Gao think of a way to see if he can solve the Wuzhu first, as long as Wuzhu dies and there is no witness, the account books will be difficult to count, and then we can still say that what she took out is a fake account." Now that the fourth child has fallen, Yinxue has a daughter's family, which side do you say the clan elders will stand on?"

For so many years, Lin has been waiting for this day, and now when she heard the analysis and explanation of Gong Yi, she only felt that the long-standing dark clouds in her heart had dispersed, and the sky was high and refreshing, although she had not yet taken a sip of wine, she was already a little drunk.

"It's a great event. Lin Shijiao smiled, her eyebrows narrowed together, "Master, wait a minute, I'll cook a few dishes for you, let's have a good drink." ”

......

"What do you think...... Your uncle doesn't really want to punish your fourth uncle?"

After coming out of the ancestral hall, Qin Ke looked at the flock of birds migrating in the sky and asked softly.

The public Yinxue beside him walked side by side with him, and the servants and maids he saw along the way were all respectful to them.

"I just have a gut feeling and can't be sure. Gong Yinxue's expression was serious, she had never been a conceited person, and with her sharp intuition, she always felt that her uncle's performance in the ancestral hall today was a little abnormal.

"That's why you're a big family, and you can't speak clearly, so you have to guess and guess with each other. Qin Ke couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Actually, some things were said at the time, which might save a lot of trouble." ”

It seems that his master Zhuge Wolong doesn't know how many secrets he has hidden from him.

"But some things are never easy. Yin Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "The public loser has a big business, but there are also many people, and they have their own little abacus, and it is not easy to make everyone have one heart." At least, over the years of the uncle's housekeeper, Jinzhou has been governed in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"I think...... You can do it. Qin Ke suddenly nodded at her firmly.

"Why?" said Yin Xue raised her eyes to look at him.

Qin Ke shrugged his shoulders, "No, I just think so." ”

It's just that this sentence fell into the ears of Gong Yinxue, but she was far from being as free and indifferent as him, the wind and cold in early winter were pressing, and it blew on her face with a burst of heat, and her cheeks were crimson, as if smeared with a thick layer of rouge.

She inevitably showed a little bit of a little daughter's posture, and said coquettishly: "No matter how nice you say, it doesn't count, you have to show some practical encouragement." ”

Qin Ke was slightly stunned, and said strangely: "Actually, what kind of practical encouragement?"

Gong Yinxue blinked, took a deep breath of cold air, and said, "I got up before dawn in the morning to dress up, and then I made such a fuss, and I didn't even bother to take a sip of water...... I'm hungry and I want to eat the meat you roasted with your own hands. ”

On the way from the wasteland to Jinzhou, Qin Ke, Bai Qi, Chu Gou and Gongyi Yinxue certainly couldn't just drink water and nibble on dry cakes all day long, after all, the dry cakes were really choked in their mouths, and they were very salty, and people shook their heads when they ate them.

So, Qin Ke and Bai Qi would hit a few hares and pheasants from time to time to fight tooth sacrifices.

Most of the time, Chu Gou is in charge of slaughtering, Qin Ke is in charge of barbecue, and Yinxue has eaten several times, and I feel that Qin Ke is really talented in making food, if he hadn't already taken the path of cultivation, maybe he could consider opening a restaurant and becoming a chef.

In fact, Qin Ke also likes to cook food, after all, when he was a child, he was starved, and even fell hungry on the side of the road, his life hanging by a thread. So every time he sets up the stove to eat, he can always feel an inexplicable peace of mind, even if the sky is about to fall, there is a stutter to fill his stomach, at least he can be a full ghost.

"So that's it?" Qin Ke smiled and said, "It's not easy, I'll go to the kitchen to find a chicken and just set up a fire in the yard to roast it." But the thing I baked...... Can it really be compared to the good food and good meat of the public loser?"

"I think it's delicious. Gong Yinxue inadvertently grabbed Qin Ke's arm, "It's a pity that the roe deer sent by the fourth uncle has been eaten, that thing is the most fat, and it must be delicious when it is roasted......

However, she closed her mouth before she finished speaking, and the smile on her face also subsided a little, after all, now that the fourth uncle was confined by the uncle and locked in his yard, I was afraid that it would be difficult to get out of this house in the future, let alone go out hunting.

The two went all the way back to their yard, but saw Chu Gou honestly kneeling on the ground, dejected, and his face full of pain, like a child who had been slapped by his parents.

Qin Ke walked over, walked around Chu Gou twice suspiciously, and asked, "What are you kneeling for?" What is it, we are going to eat roast chicken in a while, and you can still help me do it......

Chu Gou shook his head and said bitterly: "Master, I came to make amends." ”

"Make amends?" Qin Ke couldn't help but laugh and said, "What is the crime?"

"I, I'm embarrassed to Master today...... I saw those people with knives, and they dared to fight twice at first, but then they felt more and more scared, and when they were afraid, their minds went blank......" Chu Gou reddened his eyes, "Obviously, Senior Niang's cultivation is not much higher than mine, but she is still worried about my safety, and kicked me away, letting the guards flee with me...... I know I'm useless, I haven't been able to protect my sister well, I'm really useless......"

When Qin Ke heard this, he finally understood, and while glancing at Gong Yinxue, he stretched out his hand to help Chu Gou up, "What should I do?" And no one blames you for anything, what do you pay for...... Get up and stop making jokes. ”

"Yes. Gong Yinxue also laughed and said: "I don't blame you, those assassins are all coming for me, you shouldn't have been involved." ”

Chu Gou stood up with Qin Ke's support, and looked at Gong Yinxue in a daze: "Senior Lady, don't you blame me?"

Gong Yinxue blushed, hearing Chu Gou shouting without disobedience, her heart was also beating uneasily, she coughed lightly, and said, "Of course I don't blame you, don't say it's you, I was also very scared at the time." ”

Qin Ke poked Chu Gou's waist and comforted: "In front of the battle, a bunch of people are slashing at you with knives, and there are dead people all around, and everyone is afraid of anyone." Do you think I'm not afraid of fighting with that tall man?"

Chu Gou muttered: "But how do I think you and him, you and I have a lot of fun......"

"Hey. If you're afraid, it must be written on your face?" Qin Ke slapped Chu Gou on the back hard, "You haven't seen me before, you don't know where to cut with a knife, people chase me, and I even have soft knees." ”

Just like that night, he and Abu were chased by a group of mountain bandits and fled, embarrassed, and finally he hid in a room, and because of this, he met Zhang Fu, and he didn't know ...... How is she doing in Jingwu now?

The piece of jade she gave herself was as green as a fresh leaf on a tree, but unfortunately it had been lost in the 100,000 mountains on the border of the Tang Kingdom, and it was missing.

Although time has not passed too long, Qin Ke feels a little funny every time he thinks of the past, if he was at that time, he would not behave much better than Chu Gou in the face of these assassins today, right?

He also gradually understood later that Gao Changgong's arrangement that night actually allowed him to appreciate the sword intent of the Seven Advances Sword as quickly as possible.

Although there are a total of seven styles in this set of swordsmanship, and the names of each style are elegant and beautiful, but in fact, each style contains the killing aura of gold and iron, if he still holds the knife like he did at the beginning, he will feel guilty for a long time when he kills someone, even if Mulan continues to train him for a year and a half, he may not be able to take the first step of that determination.

The first point of the Seven Entry Sword is that it cannot be weak, and if there is the slightest hesitation in the sword, it will damage the sharpness of the sword, and it will not be able to move forward.

After several bloody experiences, he is now fully able to draw his sword and stab his opponent's chest without hesitation when necessary, and calmly watch the hot blood gush out, reflecting the sunset.

Of course, this does not mean that he has become a murderous person, he always has a bottom line, maybe in self-defense, or in order to draw a knife to help, he doesn't want to gradually become a bandit like a brutal and unscrupulous person.

Just like today, when he realized the role that Gao Yishui played behind this assassination, he immediately felt a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Among the dead and wounded in this assassination were innocent people, as well as the servants and maids of the public losers, who did not deserve to die, but were sacrificed in vain......

"Master...... Master?" Chu Gou's voice pulled Qin Ke's thoughts back to reality.

"Master, then how can I practice to get to where you are now?"

Qin Ke grinned and gave him a smirk, shook his head and said: "I think you should not bother, after all, you said that you practiced only to avoid being bullied, and now that you have cultivation, as long as you don't provoke those big shots, no one can bully you, besides, you can't be afraid if you can't be beaten, aren't you still able to run?"

"It makes sense, and it's ......serious," Chu Gou pouted, "but I always feel like you're perfunctory to me." ”

He suddenly thought of the Qijin Sword used by Qin Ke, and his eyes lit up slightly: "Master, Master, how do you teach me to use the sword......?" Make a ...... of sword flowers in the sky And that trick is faster than lightning...... And ......"

"Pull it down, that really can't teach you. Qin Ke pushed him out of the distance with a palm, "Don't be poor, come with me to the kitchen, get some spices, and catch another chicken, we are all hungry, where do we get the strength to talk and not eat." ”

Chu Gou followed closely, still unrelentingly: "Don't, Master, you teach me, I have already started, you teach me ......"

"Who is your master! If you call it like that, be careful that I cut you!"

"Master......"

"Cut you!"

When the snow fell, the public loser returned to its former calm and peace, and the fierce horses of the public lost could no longer leave the yard, and the birds and beasts in the mountains on the outskirts seemed to be able to survive this winter in peace.

In the heavy snow, several officials involved in the assassination of Gongyi Yinxue, including the military general who had broken his hand, were beheaded at the north front gate, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people.

When the big knife fell, blood splattered out, frightening the children who sat on their father's shoulders and watched the excitement, but the men applauded loudly, and for several days on the street, people were praising the public and losing benevolence, saying that he had governed Jinzhou only in an orderly manner over the years, saying that he was benevolent and generous, and that he was decisive in killing.

In this way, the reputation of the public loser in Jinzhou has risen instead of falling, and it is in full swing.

And about Qin Ke and the public Yinxue's family affairs, after all, Qin Ke has already welcomed a kiss, so there is no longer a need to re-extravagant, but vigorously held a ceremony to worship heaven and earth in the house of the public loser, and rarely opened the door of the public loser, and set up more than 100 flowing water seats, which can be regarded as enough face for the public Yinxue.

Interestingly, on the night of marriage, Qin Ke was dazed by the wine jars of the public loser, and fell headlong in front of the door before entering the new house, sleeping sweetly, like a big bluestone without consciousness, which caused everyone to laugh.

However, because of this, the most difficult night to fool in the past can be regarded as a crooked one, and Fluttershy doesn't even come to the door to eavesdrop.

At the same time, the public loser opened the channel of conscription, and many recovered homeless people joined the Jinzhou army, put on armor, and began to practice in the school field for days.

Who knows, in the early morning of one day, when the second snow of winter was falling quietly, someone sent a message to the public Yinxue.

"Miss, uncle...... I'm afraid it won't last long......"
