After Xiao Zhan came this day, he had only said a few words, and seeing that Wei Shuoren and Xu Wancun were not close, he took out a sealed envelope from the bottom of his clothes and handed it to Chu Qingliu. It is said that a mother-in-law gave it to her at the door of the house2 and asked him to pass it on to the master.

There was no handwriting on the envelope, and when I opened it, I saw that the letter said that there was a pigeon report in Yangzhou. It turned out that only five or six days after Chu Qing arrived in Jiangling, the Rebel Alliance had already settled in Jiangling to find out the whereabouts of all parties. The matter in the eyes of the Kainan Dart Bureau, as well as the acceptance of Xiao Zhan as an apprentice, this matter is not a secret, Qu Lingyu already knows everything. In the future, if you want to send a message, you will go to a certain street or alley, and naturally someone will contact him, and even the code words will be written very clearly.

Chu Qingliu put away the envelope and said to Xiao Zhan: "Let's not study today, I'll take you to the street." ”

The two went out of the gate and bought a few things to eat at random, and the master and apprentice walked while eating. This child is too sensible, and he has been newly changed, and in order to pretend to be old, he will inevitably have to suppress his spirituality, which is not only bad for learning martial arts, but also bad for everything. Therefore, not only should we not be too strict with her, but we must also try to relieve her.

With this thought, Chu Qingliu will eat snacks on the street, which is very rare for him, although it is not impossible. As the saying goes, a master makes a high disciple, and Chu Qingliu is not very old, but he is already well versed in the way of teaching. It seems that whether you are an apprentice or a teacher, if you don't have your own talent for understanding, you only know how to work hard, and it is difficult to achieve excellence.

When I came to a teahouse, I went upstairs to find a seat before I sat down, and a trolley stopped downstairs. On one side of the car, a large bamboo basket is placed, full of flowers. The cart man said to the master and apprentice: "Guest, it doesn't mean much to just drink tea, buy a few flowers and put them on the table to watch, and then go to drink tea, then it is called Shiquan." Little sister, ask my brother to buy flowers for you to wear. ”

Xiao Zhan said: "This uncle, this is my uncle, not my brother." "Staring at the float, it's obvious that I love it.

Chu Qingliu said: "You can pick it, and my uncle will buy it for you." Xiao Zhan first picked a white flower the size of a cup and put it in his braid, and then chose two big red pomegranate flowers, and said, "I'm enough, uncle, you can buy it." ”

Chu Qingliu looked at the float and said, "The flowers I want are not available in this cart." ”

The man said, "What you're saying is that it's a little late at this hour, and a lot has already been sold." I'll tell you the truth, I have a flower garden at home, but I have all the flowers that should be in Gangneung City, can I go and see them?"

Chu Qingliu said to Xiao Zhan: "Let's believe him and go and see." "Go downstairs and follow this man's float.

I came to a courtyard and entered the courtyard. After parking the float and then covering the door, the man said, "Chu Shaoxia, please come with me." As he spoke, he led the way.

Walk through the path between the flower beds, open a temporary door on the courtyard wall, and pass through two courtyards before you come to a small courtyard. There are only three main rooms and two side rooms in the courtyard, and the man said: "Chu Shaoxia, my business is over, go back first." The people from the east are all in the room, and you know them. He said and stepped back.

Xiao Zhan said: "Master, the person in the house, could it be Aunt Qu?"

Chu Qing said: "No." There are many things in the east, and they can't do without her. ”

Before they came to the door, Aunt Yu and Aunt Tang had already greeted them and took the two of them to the main room to sit down. The second maid first praised the two flowers in Xiao Zhan's hand before talking about business.

According to the second maid, Mr. Jiang Yuefu's coffin has already been checked and understood, and it was made by Xuedian Town, Taiping Prefecture, across the river, and there will be no mistake. This place is 345 miles away from Guazhou, and it is only 600 miles away from the easternmost Shuzhou branch of the South Dart Bureau. Qu Lingyu has taken people to live in Xuedian Town for more than ten days and has gained a lot. Mr. Jiang's coffin had been transported back to Wanghaizhuang for burial at this time.

The lord of the Qu League is currently temporarily living in Caizhou, western Beijing, and Mr. Shi is in Xingshan, Guizhou, and is no longer in Yangzhou. The two of them looked at the situation of Jiangling from a distance, and kept an eye on the actions of the Kongtong faction. Didn't hide Sayi and a half months ago went to Tokyo.,I don't know what's going on.,Right now, this person is still in Tokyo.。

If Kainan Dart Bureau is determined to form an alliance with the Kongtong faction and make it difficult for the Yixue Hall to the end, he has no choice but to do so. As for the witness, Liwen Covenant, this matter will be beneficial to the two of them in the short term, and it will be detrimental to the Chaos Alliance. But from the perspective of the general trend, it is a great thing.

The father and son of the Mei family in the Kainan Dart Bureau, no matter how much they have seen martial arts, are not the opponents of Wu Zang Sayi. The two sides are strong and weak, obviously the Kongtong faction wants to entrap, use or even plot to open the South Dart Game, in the Mei family father and son, this is just a rush to the doctor. With the document, at least on the surface, the two families are joining forces on an equal footing, and it will be difficult for the Kongtong faction to use clever tricks to plot a dart game, unless the two sides tear their faces and openly betray the alliance.

The leader of the Qu League has promised that as long as the dart game does not make the first move, the Chaos Alliance will never do it again. But once the fight starts again, no matter whether the Kainan Dart Bureau is allied with the Kongtong faction or not, the Chaos Alliance will no longer have the slightest mercy, even if Chu Qingliu comes forward to help the Dart Bureau, it will be the same. This was said by the helper, and it was also said by the young lady.

Speaking of this, the second maid hesitated a little and looked at Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan said: "Two aunts, although I am young, I also know that what you say is extremely confidential. Don't worry, I won't say these words to anyone, not even my mother, I'm sensible. ”

Aunt Yu said: "Xiao Zhan, you have listened to me for so long, you said it yourself, is there a sentence that is to plot the dart game? Is there a sentence that is not good for the dart game? These words are not impossible to say to others, but it is not yet time, and they will not believe it, so it is better not to say it." ”

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "I know everything." I know Master is a good person. ”

Aunt Yu said: "Miss said that if the two of them insist on forming an alliance, please Chu Shaoxia must think of a way to come out, so that the Mei family can leave some strength when acting, and don't rush ahead in everything and be a gunman for the Kongtong faction." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "The old dart head and the young dart head have experienced more things in the world, and they will be able to think of this, don't worry about this." ”

Aunt Yu said: "Miss is worried about Miss Mei, Miss Mei is bent on revenge, if she thinks of any way to come out, what do she do, so that the old dart head and the young dart head have to fight all the way, this is not easy to do." In addition, the people of the Kongtong faction may come up with other ways to urge and persecute Mei Hongtai, which is difficult to say, so it is better to be careful. Chu Qingliu nodded in agreement.

Yu Gu said: "Next, it's Xiaozhen's business." The young lady said that Mrs. Jiang could no longer work in the dart game. People who come and go, some people must say that we want to find out about them, and we don't bear the name of this thief. Xiaozhan, Miss wants you to live in Wanghaizhuang, and if you leave in a few days, you will let the people from the Kainan Dart Bureau send you. Your grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents all go with them if they want to, and your uncles and uncles don't need it. ”

Xiao Zhan said: "Auntie, except for my mother, I don't have any relatives." But I have to discuss this with my mother beforehand. ”

Yu Gu said: "That's nature. The young lady said, if you don't want to go, help your mother open a shop in Gangneung, and find another aunt to take care of her. When your mother can take over on her own, the aunt will leave. In short, from the day after tomorrow, your mother will not be able to go back to the dart game, and this matter will not be discussed, so you have to do what Miss said. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to contact you. Xiao Zhen nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Tang Gu said: "Miss said, you can worship Chu Shaoxia as a teacher, it is your great joy, she should celebrate for you, you are Chu Shaoxia's first apprentice, you can't ignore it." She has a set of densely woven camel gold thread soft armor in Saibei, and when you grow up, she will give it to you to wear. ”

He took out a cloth bag from his side and poured out a bead. The beads are all made of small yellow beads the size of beans, and a round bead the size of a walnut is hung, which is dark jujube red. said: "This thing is from the Western Regions, called Mai Le Shi." But it is not a stone, it is much lighter than a stone. Wearing this thing on the body can ward off evil spirits, and it can also make people's minds clear, you see, on the head of this big bead, there is a human eye, and it depends on this human eye to ward off evil spirits. ”

handed the beads to Xiao Zhan's hand and said, "Miss has too many enemies, it is difficult to ensure that no one provokes them, and I have to say a few words to you first." This thing was worn by the young lady, and the laity said that if this kind of McLot stone was used by herself, it could not be given to others, and whoever it was given to would be given to whom it would cause trouble. It's all because they don't understand, or they are reluctant, so they make up this set of words. This thing, the elders still give it to the younger generations, not only to make it, but also to make it all good. After all, you are still young, what can you know? In order to prevent you from being provoked by others, I will first explain it to you. ”

Xiao Zhan said: "I made a note, no matter who it is, as long as it says that this bead is not good, it is provoking." ”

Chu Qingliu hurriedly said: "Jiang Zhan, those who say that this bead is not good may not be all bad people, maybe people really think so." The world is very complicated, Mr. Xu often likes to say that dialectical treatment, one must distinguish, the other must be verified, and then the prescription can be prescribed. ”

Xiao Zhan put the beads back into the cloth cover and said, "Aunt Yu, Aunt Tang, it's not that I don't love this set of beads, it's that I can't bring it at this time." If others see it and ask, what will I say? When I see Aunt Qu in the future, I will wear it again. ”

Yu Gu said: "What you said is also true, let's come to Jiangling, not afraid that they will know." Still, it's better to know later. ”

After the words were finished, Chu Qingliu took Xiao Zhan to say goodbye and left, and went to Xiao Zhan's house. Letting the two of them move to Wanghaizhuang is a good thing, but it is also a big thing, and a child can't be called to talk about it.

Sister-in-law Jiang was working at home, and when she heard Chu Qingliu asking her to quit her job, she either went to Wanghaizhuang or opened a shop, and said, "Mr. Chu, what do you think about this?"

Chu Qingliu said: "In my opinion, it's better to go to Wanghaizhuang." Xiaozhan will always be by my side more often in the future, and if you move there, mother and daughter can see each other often. However, it all depends on what you think, don't force it. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang said: "Wherever Xiao Zhan goes, I will go." But Xiao Zhan's father's body has not been found, if I leave, no one walks around in the dart board, and the old dart head has a lot of things, where can I still think of such a thing? After a long time, don't you have no clue? I and Xiao Zhan originally lived in the countryside outside the city, so I agreed to come to the city with them just to urge them. Chu Qingliu said: "Since I haven't seen anyone, how can I say that there are no people?"

Sister-in-law Jiang said: "The old dart head and the young dart head all said that Xiao Zhan's father was indeed dead, and someone saw it with their own eyes, and asked someone to kill it, and the head was cut off, and the body was gone." At that time, the people in the dart game only cared about chasing the bad guys, wanting revenge, and when they turned back, they were gone. died so miserably, it's no wonder that Xiao Zhan always wants to avenge his father. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "How many people have seen Brother Jiang killed?
