Xiao Jinyan looked at this Jianghu style.

Ten years ago, martial arts publications such as Xiaosheng Jianghu and Gossip Weekly made a lot of money by using the past of Shujianshan to make a lot of money, but the popularity will eventually pass, and the era that belongs to them will gradually be forgotten, replaced by generations of newcomers in the rivers and lakes, if there is no ten-year appointment between the two, I am afraid that their stories have long since disappeared.

Jianghu Caifeng is waiting for his answer with anticipation, and he can get first-hand news of the competition, which means that he will become the first Caifeng in Xiaosheng Jianghu. He has been in the Xiaosheng rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he has always been tepid, and if he can report the details of the competition in advance, he will inevitably be reused.

Xiao Jinyan was thinking about something else.

Over the years, they have done earth-shattering things, some stupid things, exciting highlight moments, and tragic times of frustration, but it is undeniable that the era that belongs to them has passed, and in another ten or twenty years, who will remember them in this river and lake?

He said to the rivers and lakes: "If I have any news, I will inform you as soon as possible." ”

Yang Xiling was very interested in "The Golden Sword Seals the King" and "A Sword in the Alluring City", she asked: "Dacaifeng, can you borrow the two books you wrote?"

Jianghu Caifeng smiled, "Coincidentally, I just happened to have this book on me." After that, he unpacked his bags, took out two books, took out a brush and dipped some wine to moisten the pen, wrote his name crookedly, and handed it to Yang Xiling with both hands. Yang Xiling couldn't wait to open it, only to see that it was densely written on it.

"Xiao Jinyan is safe, Zhao Lanjiang is safe, Li Qingcheng is safe, Yuwenshuang is safe, Yang Xiaoxiao is safe, Li Jinping is safe, Yuwen Tianlu is safe, Li Chuntie is safe, Wang Banxian is safe, ......"

Cai Feng smiled and said: "This book is a strange book for the ages, you must read it often." ”

Yang Xiling said with a look of disdain: "It seems that it is not unreasonable for you not to be popular." ”

The rivers and lakes picked up the pen, and wrote a sentence on the title page "Yang Xiling is safe", and Yang Xiling smiled happily.

The rivers and lakes arched his hand at Xiao Jinyan, ripped off another piece of paper, wrote down his place in the city, and then said goodbye and left. Yang Xiling got up and asked, "Next, where are we going to play?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Twice in distress in one day, don't you want to know who wants to deal with you behind your back?"

Yang Xiling said: "You also said that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and you should be cautious in the future. ”

"You have a big heart. ”

"But it's the first time I've come to Kaifeng City, and I'm not familiar with the place, where can I find someone who harms me?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "The Ten Evils of the Yellow River said, catch you and hand it over to Boss Fan, but there will be a reward of one hundred taels of silver." ”

Yang Xiling's face was full of vigilance, looking at this strange Shu Huang who had not been known for a long time, "You don't really want to give me to Boss Fan, right?"

"The money will be taken, and the murderer will be investigated. ”

......

August 15 is approaching, and the city is full of people carrying swords. However, when the people of the rivers and lakes enter the city, they also follow the rules set by the government, and they are not allowed to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, they are not allowed to cause trouble, and they are not allowed to duel privately, otherwise once they are investigated and punished, not only will the deposit paid not be returned, but even the people in the city will be implicated.

But the people of the rivers and lakes are the people of the rivers and lakes, where can they manage so much.

Especially in these years, there has been no martial arts conference for a long time, if the difference in martial arts fame between the two sides is too big, it is nothing, once the two martial arts are almost the same, the fame is almost the same, no one on both sides looks at who is not pleasing to the eye, and they will fight each other if they disagree, which has brought a lot of pressure to the already weak government.

Most of them also follow the rules of the rivers and lakes and will not do anything to the common people, but this rivers and lakes are mixed, and the people in the rivers and lakes are not subject to the constraints of the government, and there are many thieves who are crowing and dogs. Among them, the most controversial thing is that recently there is a young man named Lu Qingfeng, who suddenly rose, with a fast sword, he picked more than ten Jianghu sects one after another, and the people who have seen him make a move, what makes people even more speechless is that there is no internal force on his sword. If you talk about the realm of martial arts, I am afraid that it is not even as good as the realm of hearing, and people are even discussing that in this martial arts conference, he and Yang Xueqiong, the first sword in the Kanto region, are most likely to win the championship and become the new leader of the martial arts alliance.

But Lu Qingfeng didn't seem to be here, just such a person, but he let out a sentence, "If anyone sees Li Qingcheng, tell him that Zhao Lanjiang is mine." ”

Those who dare to challenge the King of the Golden Sword, not to mention the strength, this courage is really commendable. What people don't know is that ten years ago, this man named Lu Qingfeng just

Able to beat the people who know the Xuan Realm to the point that they have no power to fight back, when Zhao Lanjiang is at his best, he fought against Zhao Lanjiang in three moves, and unfortunately lost to the Golden Sword King. In the past ten years, he has been incognito and practiced fast swords, it is said that this time out of the mountain, his fast sword has reached the realm of sending and receiving from the heart, and the other party's hand has not even had time to hold the hilt, Lu Qingfeng's sword has been against his neck.

......

The Yellow River Gang is the largest gang in Kaifeng City, and of course only relatively.

At the time of the catastrophe of the Heavenly Dao, almost all the masters on the rivers and lakes were wiped out, Shaolin, Wudang, etc. almost faced the catastrophe, and the eight major sects have been in a slump since then, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, like Shaolin, an ancient temple with a history of thousands of years, the family foundation is thick, in just ten years, it has recovered a lot from the catastrophe of the year, although it is not as prosperous as it was back then, but it is said that the new abbot Huifan is also about to break through the Tongxiang realm.

The Yellow River Gang is adjacent to Shaolin, and its rise is also a matter of the past few years, and it is said that the leader Fan Boss has some relatives with King Yu of Luoyang City, the eastern capital. The Yellow River Gang has a wide range of business, almost monopolizing the Qinglou and casinos in Kaifeng City, and occupying most of the trade routes in the Central Plains.

Aside from anything else, in such troubled times, there are not many sects that have the strength to come up with a million taels of silver to hold a grand event in the rivers and lakes, and at first glance it is not cost-effective, but if you calculate carefully, if you can't kill Zhao Lanjiang, it's just a martial arts conference, and four or five hundred people in the rivers and lakes will only have about 10,000 taels of silver, and it won't cost much. If it is really lucky to kill Zhao Lanjiang, even if the million taels are paid, for the Yellow River Gang, with the support of the King of Shu and the King of Yu, they will make a sure profit, and they also have the aura of killing Zhao Lanjiang, this added value to the gang is immeasurable.

Today's Fan Boss, feel that the Yellow River Gang's Duoer is not loud enough in the rivers and lakes, and after the martial arts conference, the Yellow River Gang will be changed to "Dragon Gate", taken from the meaning of the fish leaping dragon gate, with the support of the King of Shu and the King of Yu, it will not take a few years to become a super-first-class sect, as for martial arts, he has spent a lot of money over the years to acquire the cheats scattered in the world of the eight major sects, although his cultivation is limited, but the advantage is that there are many sons, he is ready to regenerate three, make up enough eight sons, each son learns the martial arts of a sect, really at that time, who would dare to underestimate the dragon gate on the rivers and lakes?

Xiao Jinyan and Yang Xiling inquired and came to the helmsman of the Yellow River Gang.

At the helm gate, they saw a huge ship, with an old hull that the craftsmen were repainting. Xiao Jinyan knew this building ship, ten years ago, when Wan Nian Hou entered Beijing, it was this building ship that was used, but at that time the ship was loaded with a boulder, and now after transformation and repair, it has become a three-story building ship that can live and feast guests.

Xiao Jinyan felt strange, it was rumored that it was built either on the riverbank or by the sea, and he felt a little abrupt when he saw a giant Mac on land from the land out of thin air. Of course, he didn't dig deeper, he came here to ask the Yellow River Gang Xingshi for guilt, of course, nominally to ask for silver.

At this moment, Boss Fan was carrying a bucket of paint to color the wooden pillars of the building boat, and seemed to be very satisfied with his craftsmanship. Before climbing to that level of noble relationship and establishing the Yellow River Gang, he was just a lacquer maker. Although he dominates one side now, he has not touched the paint for so many years, and his craftsmanship has not fallen in the slightest.

Recently, the martial arts conference was coming, and there were a lot of people who came to visit, and he didn't want to see them, so he hid here to paint the boat, but he didn't expect to be approached by Xiao Jinyan.

When he learned that Xiao Jinyan was coming, he looked Yang Xiling up and down, "This is the sister of Yang Xueqiong, the first sword in Kanto?"

"It's like a fake. ”

Boss Fan nodded, "People stay, you can go." ”

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "I heard that the Yellow River Gang paid a hundred taels of silver to arrest Yang Xiling before she came to arrest her, and let me return empty-handed, and spreading it will have a bad impact on the reputation of the Yellow River Gang." ”

Fan Lao waved his hand at his subordinates, and someone handed over a bag of silver.

Xiao Jinyan took it, but did not leave.

"What else?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "I took the silver, but I can't give it to you." ”

Boss Fan frowned, feeling insulted.

The subordinate said: "You are here to find trouble, don't inquire, in Kaifeng City, the Yellow River Gang is something you can easily provoke, right?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't pay attention to it, a small golden sword hovered three inches in front of Boss Fan, and continued, "I ask you to answer, if you don't answer, you die." Answer incorrectly and you die. I'm not satisfied with the answer, you die. Did I explain?"

Boss Fan's eyes showed a fierce look, over the years, the rivers and lakes have been bloody and bloody, his methods have been resolute, and now he is in danger, but he is not panicked. He hits

Xiao Jinyan measured, but he never remembered that there was such a person in the rivers and lakes who could use the sword technique that had been lost for hundreds of years, but it seemed that this middle-aged man and animal harmless appearance did not look like a skilled martial artist.

He said in a deep voice, "You ask." ”

"Why did you send someone to hunt down Yang Xiling?"

Fan Lao Dao: "I said that I wanted to use Yang Xiling's life to blackmail the White Horse Gang, do you believe it?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head.

Fan Lao Dao: "Instructed by someone." ”

"Who?"

"I can't say. ”

After that, Boss Fan closed his eyes, but Xiao Jinyan's flying sword did not stab down.

"You can always ask why, right?"

Fan Lao Dao: "This little baby once walked with the King of Hidden Sun, if she is caught, the duel five days later can affect Zhao Lanjiang." ”

Xiao Jinyan said: "In order to kill Zhao Lanjiang, you are really unscrupulous. ”

Fan Lao Dao: "Although these methods may not be effective, as long as they have even a little effect, they are worth it." ”

"What other means?"

Fan Laodao: "We have prepared 100,000 catties of gunpowder, and we are ready to send them to the west together on the day of the duel between Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng." ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled.

"You also know that 100,000 catties of gunpowder is enough to destroy the entire Kaifeng City, but Zhao Lanjiang can't help anything, unless he is seriously injured. When the martial arts reach the realm of the two of them, as long as the law space is released, you explosives can't help them at all. ”

"Again, it works a little, just do it. ”

"Why did you tell me?"

Boss Fan's answer was honest: "I want to live." ”

Xiao Jinyan asked a few more questions, although Boss Fan answered truthfully, but he didn't have the answer he wanted, he took back the golden sword, and said to Yang Xiling, "Let's go." ”

Yang Xiling asked, "That's it?"

"Or else?"

"Why didn't you kill him?"

Xiao Jinyan asked with a smile, "Could it be that I have been with Zhao Lanjiang for a long time, and I have more anger on my body? Killing a Fan boss can't solve any problems at all." ”

The two left the Yellow River Gang.

Yang Xiling asked, "You are friends with Lord Zhao and Uncle Snow Demon, why don't you persuade them to stop this duel?"

When Xiao Jinyan heard this, he sighed and said: "The masters are lonely, martial arts have reached their realm, if there is no opponent, there is no hope of living in this world." Although Zhao Lanjiang has killed people like hemp over the years, he lost a battle ten years ago, and if he can't face this battle, he will never be able to go further in the path of the sword. After the little master left, Li Chengcheng had no worries, if there was no battle, he himself did not know where to go in the future. So, all I can do is make sure that this duel is fair, that they have a competition in its purest form, and that no other people or other things interfere with them in the slightest. ”

Yang Xiling was quite touched when she heard these words.

She remembered that in the Snow God Temple, she saw a room full of ice sculptures of the Master, and she thought of Uncle Snow Demon who had been alone on the Snow Mountain all these years, and she was a little pitiful. But Zhao Wangye is different, he is in a high position and has the power of life and death, so why should he risk his life?

At this time, Yang Xiling heard Xiao Jinyan sigh with emotion, "In the past ten years of troubled times, we need an end after all." ”

Sometimes people's destiny is not in their own hands.

Zhao Lanjiang is like this, Li Qingcheng is like this, and Xiao Jinyan is also like this.

I remember that when they first entered the rivers and lakes, they faced many obstacles, such as Zao Wou-Ki in Suzhou, Sun Wuji of the Blood Demon Shadow, or Sun Qiangu of the Imperial Sword Villa, the old lady of the Tang Sect, and the Lady of Jianmen Guan Qi, these people all wanted to take their lives, and in order to survive, they did everything they could.

All they want is to survive on this river and lake, but they can be created like this, fate is like a huge wheel, pushing them to this situation step by step.

It's not what you want, but you have to face it.

Zhao Lanjiang went from a reckless man with nothing to a reckless man who gradually fell deeper and deeper into the secular power struggle, becoming a tyrant who dominated one side.

Li Chengcheng gave up the prosperity of the world, abandoned the family honor, and lived in seclusion under the snowy mountain.

One enters the WTO, the other is born.

These two people, who would not have intersected again in this life and this life, got together again because of the ten-year covenant.

When also?

Fate!
