"Is this true?" Liu Xunyi looked at Qin Ku, a look of half-believing thought appeared on his face.

"Qin Gang, the ancestor of the Hexi Qin family, is my grandfather. The previous head of the Qin family was my own grandfather. And the current head of the family, Qin Ming...... It's my uncle. Qin Ku told the relationship between himself and the Qin clan in Hexi, with a solemn expression and conclusive words, but there was a little bitterness and self-deprecation in his tone.

"Uncle?" Liu Xunyi looked at Qin Ku with surprise in his eyes and asked in disbelief, "In other words...... Your father is the eldest brother of the Lord of the Qin Mansion?"

"Yes. Qin Ku said calmly, "And he is also the eldest brother of a compatriot!"

"This ......"

Qin Ku's words made Liu Xunyi shocked. He had never heard of this before. Liu Xunyi has always thought that the Qin family's lineage is a single lineage, father to son, son to grandson, orderly inheritance, and clear distinction between the young and the young. never expected that Qin Ming would have a big brother with the same father and mother.

This incident is undoubtedly the most shocking anecdote that Liu Xunyi has learned since he stepped into the rivers and lakes.

"According to the convention, from the country to the people, the inheritance of any family should be respected by the elder, the elder first, and then the youngest. Liu Xunyi muttered, turned his eyebrows, and asked curiously, "Could it be that your father is not good at martial arts, so he made the ancestor abolish the elder and choose your uncle to take charge of the Hexi Qin clan?"

"Of course not. Qin Ku shook his head and said, "The Qin family is full of heroes, and my father is even more of a dragon and phoenix among people, a leader in the world, how can he not be good at practicing martial arts? In terms of martial arts, my father is far better than Qin Ming, a dog thief!"

Seeing that Qin Ku called Qin Ming by his name, and also attached him to the title of "dog thief", Liu Xunyi didn't need to think about it to know that there must be a little-known blood feud between Qin Ku and Qin Ming. Even in the Qin clan in Hexi, there must be a hidden past that made Qin Ku extremely humiliating, otherwise, with Qin Ku's martial arts and methods today, how could he be nameless in the Qin clan in Hexi?

Liu Xunyi is pure by nature, and he will never deliberately expose Qin Ku's scars because of his curiosity. He just stood silently aside, his eyes looking at Qin Ku, who was thoughtful and full of bitterness.

"In the past, my grandfather valued my father very much, carefully taught him martial arts, nurtured his temperament, and was ready to entrust the Hexi Qin clan to my father after a hundred years. Qin Ku recalled, "It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Twelve years ago, my grandfather fell ill because of his practice, and the Qin family was leaderless and in chaos. Qin Ming took the opportunity to form a gang and secretly cultivated his own henchmen, while pretending to please his grandfather, and on the other hand, relying on my father's trust in him, he repeatedly designed to frame my father. As a result, my grandfather on the sickbed mistakenly thought that my father was plotting power and usurping the throne, and wanted to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, which was a great rebellion. Therefore, in a fit of rage, I dismissed my father as the young master in public, and expelled our family from the Qin family, never to be recognized again. ”

As for this, Qin Ku, who had always been grinning and smiling, had a tear in his eyes, and his eyes were faintly red.

"After Grandpa kicked us out of the Qin family, I don't know what tricks Qin Ming played, and within a few days, Grandpa made him the new young master and let him take charge of the Qin family in advance. Qin Ku quietly wept, his hands clenched into fists, filled with grief and anger. Although more than ten years have passed since these events, they are still vivid and fresh in his memory.

"That'...... What happened later?" asked Liu Xunyi in a low voice.

Later, my grandfather passed away, and Qin Ming rightfully inherited the position of head of the family. He listened to Qin Tianjiu's suggestion and decided to exterminate our family!" Qin Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Ming first set up a Hongmen banquet to kill my father on the grounds of 'brothers reunite and get back together', and then broke into my house and forced my mother to death. If it weren't for a loyal old servant who reminded me to go away and fly high earlier, I was afraid that I would have died under Qin Ming's sword. My father is too good, he believes that blood is thicker than water until he dies, and no matter how bad his own brother is, he will never kill him, so he ...... In fact, with my father's martial arts, even if Qin Ming and Qin Tianjiu joined forces back then, they might not be my father's opponents! It's a pity...... My dad didn't even have a chance to regret it......"

"This ......"

"After that, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Qin Ming sent people everywhere to hunt me down. Qin Ku sneered, "But my fate is good, not only did I not die in their hands, but also let me go through hardships, and then I realized that it only took a few years to practice the Qin family's sword technique to the fullest." When Qin Ku's name reappeared in the rivers and lakes, he was no longer the little beggar hiding in Tibet, but the Mai swordsman on the dragon elephant list. Now that Qin Ming wants to kill me again, it is no longer an easy task. ”

"Years of life" and "After hardships", although Qin Ku said only a few words, but how much bitterness and suffering is contained in it, and who can really understand it?

At this moment, when Liu Xunyi looked at Qin Ku's honest and stocky face again, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

Liu Xunyi is not a woman's benevolence, but after hearing what happened to Qin Ku, there is a kind of desolation and sigh of "we are all fallen people at the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet". Although he has not experienced the revenge of killing his father, he has also begged and wandered everywhere, so he can feel some bitterness and helplessness.

"This knife is called 'Changkong', and it used to be my father's knife. Qin Ku raised the long knife in his hand and said with a wry smile, "I have been wandering outside for so many years, and even the clothes on my body have been stripped of me, but I have never given up this knife." Even if you fight for your life, you can't be robbed of it. This is the only thought left to me by my father, whoever dares to snatch my knife, I will kill him......!

"Good knife!" Liu Xunyi glanced up and down, and admired with admiration, "Good knife man!"

Qin bitterly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with self-deprecation, and his face returned to his old smile, and said jokingly: "I have already exposed my old bottom, can you let me go?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi smiled dumbly, and then smiled and said, "After recognizing Brother Qin, I didn't think about embarrassing you again." You can go at any time!" After saying that, Liu Xunyi also made a gesture of invitation to Qin Ku.

At this time, Qin Ku remained motionless and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you curious? I only have a one-sided relationship with you, why do I want to tell you all my secrets?"

Liu Xunyi stared at Qin Ku meaningfully, and pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Because you want me to help you get the 'Xuanshui Scroll'." ”

"You...... Guessed?" Being exposed by Liu Xunyi's words, Qin Ku suddenly showed embarrassment.

Qin Ku has been messing around in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has already developed a "mixed nature". Everything is on par with "money" and "interests", and in addition, Qin Ku can be regarded as floating clouds in everything else. For example, his own miserable life experience may be "a scar in the bottom of his heart and an unspeakable hidden" in the eyes of others, but in Qin Ku's eyes, these are just a means to win sympathy, and they are not valuable.

Qin Ku, who has experienced the heat and coldness of the world and seen all kinds of life, has long sealed the real "joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness" in his heart, so no matter what he encounters, he will not be easily moved. This is the fundamental reason why he seems cynical and uninhibited.

Facing Liu Xunyi, who was watching the fire, Qin smiled bitterly and hesitated, "Since you guessed my intentions, why did you ......?"

"Because I know, I don't want to ask. Without waiting for Qin Ku to finish speaking, Liu Xunyi had already spoken, "Because of this matter, I can't help you." 'Xuanshui Scroll' is the lifeblood of Pan Baye, and no one can forcibly take it away from him. ”

Qin Ku was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly as if he didn't understand, and said with a smile: "The grievances are clear, and I like it!" Then he added, "But I will definitely get the 'Xuanshui Scroll', only by combining the red fire and the Xuanshui into one and practicing the real 'Returning to the Sea Sword Technique', can I find Qin Ming and Qin Tianjiu to take revenge." ”

"The revenge of killing my father is not shared. Liu Xunyi nodded and said, "Since you are a son of man, you should be like this!"

Qin Ku took a deep look at Liu Xunyi and strode away. But before he could take a few steps, he suddenly stopped. Qin Ku turned around slowly, stared at Liu Xunyi with a suspicious expression, and asked, "I remember that when I was at the Tianlong Inn, Old Man Pan said that you were ...... It seems to be his grandson-in-law?

Liu Xunyi didn't answer and asked, "What does Brother Qin mean?"

Qin Ku looked at Liu Xunyi carefully, and said with a smile: "It seems to be true." Your martial arts are so good, as I expected, the Pan family will definitely send you to the field in a battle tomorrow. Isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"Then who did the Qin family send?" Qin Ku asked with interest, "Qin Ming can't make a move?"

"Qin Ming didn't make a move, he sent Qin Er, Qin San and Qin Tianjiu to fight. Liu Xunyi was blunt and asked with a smile, "What does Brother Qin mean? Why do you ask what these things do? Why do I get more confused the more I listen?"

"Haha......" Qin Ku suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Qin Er and Qin San are just two reckless men, they are not your opponents. But Qin Tianjiu is different, the 'lame knife master' is famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is by no means a good type. The first time we fight, I'm afraid you may not be his opponent. ”

Liu Xunyi felt a sigh in his heart and asked, "What does Brother Qin mean ......?"

"I'll help you!" Qin said bluntly, "Qin Tianjiu, like me, practiced the 'Red Fire Sword Technique'. Therefore, I am very clear about his moves, the number of paths, and even the flaws and empty doors. I can help you deal with him. ”

Liu Xunyi thought about it for a while, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Qin, I really can't help you steal the 'Xuanshui Scroll' from Pan Baye's hands. The purpose of this battle is to help the Pan family keep this volume, if I help you steal the cheats, then what is the use of defeating Qin Tianjiu......?"

"Huh!" Liu Xunyi didn't finish speaking, but Qin Ku waved his hand again and again, "Brother Liu misunderstood, I didn't trade with you, I just wanted to borrow your hand and teach Qin Tianjiu, a dog who aided in abuse, a good lesson!"

Liu Xunyi pondered for a moment and hesitated, "Really?"

"Every word is true!" Qin Ku raised his hand to the sky and said solemnly, "Although I can't kill them, I don't want to see them proud of everything." Besides, the 'Xuanshui Scroll' stays in the Pan family, and I still have a chance. If it is taken by Qin Ming, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to take revenge in my life. Hey hey ......"

"As long as you don't force me to steal the 'Xuanshui Scroll', I can frustrate their sharpness for you, and I can repay you for saving your life at the Tianlong Inn. Liu Xunyi replied boldly, and then suddenly remembered something, hurriedly changed his words, and muttered, "It's just that the 'Red Fire Knife Technique' is also your stunt after all, you will tell me all the moves, paths, flaws, and empty doors, will it ......?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Qin Ku waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "Let's join forces at the Tianlong Inn first, and meet in Shaolin tonight, this is the fate of the sky." Even if there is fate, it doesn't hurt to tell you! What's more, your purpose is to surprise and attack him, and this kind of play can only be used once, and next time he will be prepared for it. The 'Red Fire Knife Technique' is ever-changing, and what I'm telling you is just Qin Tianjiu's usual path. ”

After that, Qin Ku's eyes rolled and he said with a smile, "Just now I told you all the secrets of my life experience. In addition to winning your sympathy and asking you to help me steal the 'Xuanshui Scroll', there is actually another reason. ”

"I want to hear about it!"

Hearing this, Qin Ku suddenly hesitated, he stared at Liu Xunyi with strange eyes, and a twist that was extremely inconsistent with his five big and three thick images suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi was shocked, and hurriedly said, "That...... Brother Qin, I'm not the kind of person you think, I don't have Longyang's good......"

"What did you say?" Qin Ku laughed dumbly and scolded, "You Liu Xunyi is not that kind of person, is it true that I, Qin Ku, am that kind of person?" I mean...... For years, I have been wandering around, stealing chickens and dogs, never making a real friend, and the people who show up around me are either trying to kill or kill me. I don't know why, but I saw you yesterday, maybe because ...... You were the first person in your life who was willing to ask me for a drink without any purpose. Therefore...... Therefore, I, Qin Ku, want to make friends with you Liu Xunyi. ”

Although Qin Ku was forcing a smile, he pretended to be casual and casual. But Liu Xunyi heard a trace of indescribable loneliness and sadness from between the lines.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xunyi suddenly looked bright, and immediately said with righteous words: "If you don't give up, I, Liu Xunyi, am willing to be your first friend of Qin Ku!
