Naturally, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, to put it simply, it is that the masters of both sides fight in the ring, and whoever can stand in the end will win.

This sounds a bit like a solution between children or between ruffians and hooligans, but it has long become a common rule in the rivers and lakes.

Those at the bottom have their own set of rules of survival, and their most powerful weapons have always been fists and blades, and nothing else.

Even if the Luo family was originally a scholarly family, but now if they want to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, they have to follow the customs, otherwise, the two sides can still expect to let those who don't know a basket of big characters rely on verses like "There is a river here, and a chicken on the table" to judge whether they can judge their superiority or not.

Qin Ke also expected this situation, so he took the initiative to join the Luo family, so that he could really participate in the struggle between the Luo family and the old boat gang.

Of course, if it weren't for Luo Fengxiao's explanation, to protect the Luo family, the head of the family, who was ambitious and talented, he would have preferred to join the old boat gang and sit and drink with Kuang Tie.

"You have to take care of it inside and out. Qin Ke smiled helplessly.

At night, it was silent, except for the crickets in the flower beds, chirping tirelessly, and though they could see a pair of legs and feet passing silently among the rotten branches and leaves, they were only concerned with their own singing and foraging.

Qin Ke stood on the high courtyard wall, the breeze blowing the hem of his clothes, like a broad leaf that would fall at any time.

As he narrowed his eyes slightly, everything in the Luo family was in his eyes, although it was his first time coming, because the layout of the Luo family was very similar to those houses in Jianye, he could quickly distinguish the area of the house.

It's just that he hesitated a little at his feet, frowning, not knowing whether he should go and see each other.

After the sound of "squeak", the red back appeared again, and under the light of the candles in the ancestral hall, she seemed to have a halo, as gorgeous as the sunset.

"You...... Why did you come here suddenly?" Qin Ke raised his eyes to look at the spiritual position with a wall, and then looked at the smoky incense burner.

"Since you're here, why don't you go and meet Luo Hong?" Qin Ke asked cautiously, "I saw the painting you painted in the hall, and he can hang the painting in that place, I guess I still miss you very much." ”

"That's what I hung up, when I was a child, he always said it wasn't good-looking, and in the end he was beaten by me, and since then he has been honest. Luo Fengxiao still knelt on the cushion and slowly added some fragrant wood powder to the furnace.

For the first time, Qin Ke felt that she could be so approachable.

But this feeling was only for a moment, and as Luo Fengxiao continued to speak, Qin Ke's heart jumped suddenly.

"Your time is running out, Gao Changgong's progress is faster than I thought, if you can't finish things tomorrow, maybe I'll do it myself. ”

Luo Fengxiao has always felt that doing things in Qin Ke's way is really a bit complicated and slow, after all, what can the old boat gang help?

Not to mention that Qin Ke and the Old Boat Gang are not related to each other, and even if the Old Boat Gang falls, those people at the bottom will find a way out by themselves, maybe they will take refuge in the Luo family, or they may change careers to do something else, but it is just a labor pain.

If she made a move, she would probably kill the leader of the Old Boat Gang directly, and the Old Boat Gang would immediately be leaderless, and things would become simpler.

Qin Ke saw what Luo Fengxiao was thinking, and smiled bitterly: "I'm not as cold-blooded as you, although I have a lot of lives on my hands, but I don't do this matter of indiscriminately killing innocents." Don't worry, there should be results tomorrow, and as for Luo Hong's safety, I will pay attention to it. ”

Cold-blooded...... Luo Fengxiao lowered her head, continued to sprinkle powder in the incense burner, and nodded slightly after contemplation: "Maybe you're right, now I'...... It's cold-blooded, or rather, it's hard to feel the things you care about anymore. ”

"Why? Just because you became a saint, you don't care about these things at all?" Qin Ke suddenly felt a little pity, feeling that the woman in front of him was very lonely, but he couldn't find someone who could really confide in him.

for her heart is dead.

"When you become a saint in the future, you will understand, and not only me, but even Gao Changgong will become a person you don't know at all in the future. Sage realm...... The further he goes, the less he becomes. ”

"I won't be like this, and neither will Gao Changgong. Qin Ke said firmly, "Gao Changgong is different from you, although he usually looks a little unserious, but I know that he has the people of Jing Wu in his heart. ”

"Who knows?" the corners of Luo Fengxiao's mouth curled into a sneering arc, "That person once said that he pretended to be all the people in his heart, but who knows what he really thinks in his heart? There has never been a static person in this world, if there is...... Then it should be a dead man. ”

She thought again of the snow a few feet deep in the far north, the terrible pale as far as the eye could see, the endless mountains and valleys.

There was no road, no end, nothing but the heat that gradually dissipated in the chest.

There was a dull pain in her heart, she didn't want to argue with Qin Ke more, she just flicked her sleeves and let Qin Ke go out, waiting for the door to be closed and the candle flame to be extinguished, leaving her alone immersed in the darkness of the ancestral hall, accompanied by the whispers of countless ancestors of the Luo family, always like a stubborn child who refused to admit defeat.

"Father......" she murmured in a low voice, "daughter...... No, it makes you sad. ”

When he got up in the morning, Luo Hong realized that something was wrong.

"What's wrong with Guard Zhu? Why haven't you seen anyone yet?" After discovering that an important person was missing, he immediately shouted a little anxiously, "I'm going to confront the people of the Old Boat Gang in a while, how can I become a great master without him?"

"Nope. I don't think I've seen it all morning. The people replied one after another.

This answer naturally didn't satisfy Luo Hong, but instead widened his eyes and roared angrily, "Then don't go and find it! I can't find the Zhu guards, I'll be killed!"

Of course, the people panicked and rushed to find it, for fear that they would be killed on the spot if they took one step slowly, after all, this kind of thing has not happened.

After all, Luo Hong is an only son, he has been favored since he was a child, so he is naturally arrogant and arrogant, and he is an acute son, once his temper comes up, the nine cows can't pull it, so a few subordinates just made a small mistake that year, and they were dragged out and beaten to death.

Qin Ke suddenly stretched out a hand, put it on Luo Hong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the head of the family can't worry, Brother Zhu couldn't sleep last night, and he came to me to learn martial arts, we fought a few times, and then he said that he had a comprehension and wanted to find a quiet place to meditate." But he also said that he would not forget today's events, so let me talk to the head of the house. ”

Of course, this is a lie, in fact, the truth should be reversed, it's not that Zhu Guard can't sleep, but Qin Ke suddenly ran to find Zhu Guard at night, and after deceiving him out with false affection, he suddenly became difficult, and directly knocked Zhu Guard unconscious with the thunder of the Seven Sword, plus the smoke that was originally configured with a high easy water formula, now that Zhu Guard should be lying in one place and scolding his mother without moving.

Thinking of this, Qin Ke had a faint pain under his smile, so he secretly shook his right hand behind him, after all, Zhu Guard is a real and not weak little grandmaster master, even if he is a sneak attack, but the vigilant Zhu Guard still has a response.

It's just that he didn't expect Qin Ke's Qijin Sword to be so fast that he was caught off guard, and before he could even exert his qi and blood to the extreme, he was poked in the lower abdomen and leaked his qi and blood, of course, at the same time, he also slapped Qin Ke's wrist with one palm, leaving internal injuries.

But the result is always good, at least Luo Hong didn't have the slightest doubt, just scolded and said that the Zhu guard did what he wanted, and complained that Lord Gong couldn't give a better person, and then got into the carriage and took the Luo family all the way to Nanyang Restaurant.

The people of the Old Boat Gang have already been waiting for it.
