Volume 1 The Smoke of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 40 A Look at the Thatched House Hit a soft nail

Ma Yangchen read the letter again:

The rivers and lakes are divided into high and low,

Deceive people in the midst of a hundred flowers.

Leave a finger to set an example,

Who would dare to call it thousands of miles again?

"It seems that it is indeed offended, and if you follow what is written in this letter, it should not be as simple as burglarizing the door to clean the door, it seems that there is another door. Ma Yangchen said.

"The other one?" Mo Fang was a little puzzled.

"That's right, there is also a gate in the outer eight elements called the Orchid Gate. The Orchid Gate is the most special of all the Outer Eight Elements. ”

"Oh, what's so special about the Orchid Gate?"

"What's special about it is that it's all women. The people in the Orchid Gate are all Qinglou women as we usually understand them. Legend has it that the ancestor of this door was Guan Zhong. These women all make a living by selling sex, and they are the most spurned among the hundreds of thousands of lines in the rivers and lakes, and they are also the most indispensable one. No matter how the official suppresses it, no matter what the world says, the orchid industry has been thriving. Although the Orchid Gate is full of women who sell sex for a living, not all Qinglou women belong to the Orchid Gate. The orchid gate has its own unique logo. Only the women who sell sex with the signboard of Fenglou belong to the Orchid Gate. For example, Fenglin Pavilion. ”

Mo Fang looked at Ma Yangchen with different eyes, which means that you know everything.

Ma Yangchen smiled and said, "Walking the rivers and lakes, you have to know these things." ”

Mo Fang shook his head and said, "It seems that the young master is taking the road of rivers and lakes." ”

Ma Yangchen smiled bitterly: "No." You are also walking the road of rivers and lakes. There's a name for what you do, but you're just not getting started. ”

Mo Fang was interested, and said, "My business also has a sect?"

Ma Yangchen nodded and said, "Yes." You and Jun Qianhua belong to the same sect, called Liang Killing Sect. ”

"Bright Kill Door?"

"That's right. The Bright Kill Gate is simply called a killer. The ancestor of the Liang Killing Sect is Jing Ke. Whether it is Jing Ke, Zhuzhu, or Nameless and Bairen, these famous assassins in history are all in line with the idea of serving the people and the world to do the great cause of [the strong man is gone and will never return]. ”

"So, the Liang Killing Sect is a loyal and brave man?" Mo Fang said excitedly.

"Yes. At the beginning, the Bright Killing Sect was the most moral among the Jianghu sects. It's just that in the later stage, someone fished in troubled waters, entered the door, and began to kill people for money. Since then, the Bright Killing Gate has been in a slump and has become notorious. Ma Yangchen sighed.

Mo Fang sighed and said, "I must revitalize the Liang Killing Gate in the future." ”

Ma Yangchen smiled: "Okay! Then you can join the laughing kill." ”

Mo Fang shook his head and said, "Kill with a smile, Jun Qianhua is the main general." I'm not going. In the future, I want to be a real killer like Jing Ke and live for generations. ”

Ma Yangchen nodded and said, "Okay." That's up to you. However, what I just talked about is just the outer eight lines, and it does not belong to the real Qianmen. There is a saying that there are eight generals in a thousand doors. And the eight generals of the thousand doors are divided into eight generals and eight generals. The upper eight will be the positive mention of the anti-wind and fire to remove rumors, and the lower eight will be the collision of the wind / Ma Baokun. The people in the thousands of doors are tightly organized and have a clear division of labor, which is the longest industry so far. Not to be underestimated!"

Jun Youyi said: "Young master, what should we do next?"

"It would be nice if the fourth gentleman Mu Fengchun was here, he had some friendship with Liu Yishou, the ballad general of the Thousand Gates. In this way, I will go to Tianning Temple first, maybe there will be a harvest. You and the Mozambican side will discuss the things to prepare for going to Gaoyou tomorrow, as well as the route of retreat, and we will leave tomorrow. Ma Yangchen said.

"Yes, young master. The two got up to see each other off.

Ma Yangchen came to Tianning Temple alone. When he found Jun Qianhua and the others, it was already close to noon. The two were drinking tea in a teahouse outside Tianning Temple. Seeing Ma Yangchen coming in, the two were startled and hurriedly stepped forward.

Mo Yandao whispered: "Just now, a group of people entered the temple, and they were brought in by a monk who knew the guest, a group of five people, and it seems that they are regular customers. One of them looked like General Ye from a distance. ”

"Hmm. Ma Yangchen replied and said, "You stay here and continue to star, Jun Qianhua and I will go in and have a look." ”

"Iβ€”" Mo was about to say and stopped.

Jun Qianhua shrugged her shoulders and followed Ma Yangchen into the temple.

"Where are you going?" asked Ma Yangchen.

"That side. Jun Qianhua pointed to the northwest corner.

The northwest corner of Tianning Temple is the lay forest, there is a row of houses, and some outsiders who lead the cultivation come to the temple every year to live in the temple for ten days and half a month.

Enter the lay forest and greet a monk who knows the guest.

Jun Qianhua whispered: "It's him." ”

Ma Yangchen stepped forward, folded his hands, said hello, and asked, "Master, where did the donors who entered the temple just now go, they lost something in my tea shop, and I came to return their things." ”

The monk looked at Ma Yangchen and the others suspiciously, and said, "Which tea shop is the donor? ”

"I'm a new guy from Fu Ruixiang, called Ma Fuxing. The guest officer just now went to our store to look at the tea leaves and dropped something. The shopkeeper was afraid that the guest officer would be in a hurry, so he asked me to send it over. There were five of them, and I didn't catch up, but I saw that they had entered the temple, so I asked. Ma Yangchen said nonsense.

The monk glanced at Jun Qianhua and said, "Who is this female benefactor?"

"She's my sister, the tea shop together. Ma Yangchen said.

The monk said in disbelief: "Those donors like to be quiet, just go over alone, just go over there, just the third room over there, and the female donor will wait here." ”

"Okay, okay. Ma Yangchen gave Jun Qianhua a look, and walked over there. The monk bowed and left.

When Ma Yangchen saw Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Zhiqiu was changing the dressing for the wound.

As soon as he saw Ma Yangchen coming in, the soldiers quickly got up and drew their knives to guard against it, Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand and said, "You guys go out." The soldiers retreated uneasily.

Ma Yangchen looked at the white hair on Ye Zhiqiu's sideburns, his nose was sour for a while, and said, "Uncle Ye, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "It's okay." How did the young master find here?"

Ma Yangchen approached, took the Jinchuang medicine in Ye Zhiqiu's hand, and said while applying the medicine: "It's hard to say." In the past few months, is Uncle Ye okay?"

Ye Zhiqiu coughed and said, "It's okay." It's just running for your life. Recently, I heard that the young master set up his own door in Mogan Mountain, and the wind and water are booming!"

Ma Yangchen paused and said, "I know my background." ”

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Who told you?"

Ma Yangchen said: "Mr. Luo." ”

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "I guess it's him too." Only me and him know your background, not even Grandpa Guo. The purple jade unicorn in your arms has always been in my custody. I gave him to you when I was sixteen years old, and I always told you not to wear it around your neck, but to hide it close to you, for fear that it would kill you. Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo still told you. Young master, in fact, the heavy responsibility of restoring the country and Xinghao is not so easy to bear, you are still young, I really don't want you to live for this in this life. ”

Ma Yangchen wrapped up the wound, dressed Ye Zhiqiu again, and said, "You can't hide it." I couldn't choose where I came from, so I had to go with the flow. ”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "That's fine." It's just that the rivers and lakes are sinister, you have to do what you can, so you can do it yourself. ”

Ma Yangchen thought for a while and said, "Uncle Ye, can you help me ......?"

"No, you can't. Ye Zhiqiu said categorically: "One person is not the second master." You are now the young master of Moganshan, and I am still a general under the command of the Yasukuni Duke, please forgive me for not changing my banner. ”

Ma Yangchen shook his head helplessly and said, "Uncle Ye, then you take care-"

Just as Ma Yangchen was about to turn around and go out, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly said, "Chen'er..."

Ma Yangchen looked back at Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Zhiqiu's face was full of tears, and he choked up: "Chen'er, you also take care-"

Ma Yangchen turned around and bowed deeply, hiding his face and leaving.

Back in Sifang Hutong, Mo Yan asked, "Why didn't General Ye come back with us?"

Ma Yangchen said: "Ye Zhiqiu doesn't want to learn from Lu Fengxian. ”

"Lu Fengxian?"

"Yes. During the Three Kingdoms period, LΓΌ Fengxian was brave and good at fighting, and was known as the first fierce general. However, this person was born rebellious, killed his father-in-law twice, betrayed one after another, and was known as a general of the divination, and was spurned by the world. Ye Zhiqiu knew very well that one person did not care about the principle of two masters, and he would definitely not come back with us. Ma Yangchen sighed and said.

"It's a pity. Mo Yan shook his head.

Jun Qianhua said: "It's a pity. The main generals in our army are all brave, so what if there is one less Ye Zhiqiu?"

Mo Yan sighed and said, "Our people are naturally good at fighting bravely, but if we want to say that they are marching and fighting, they are far behind!"

Jun Qianhua said: "It's really not good, I'll tie him up the mountain." If you lock him up for a year and a half, maybe he'll change his mind. ”

Mo Yan clasped his hands into fists and said, "It's really two." ”

"What do you mean?" Jun Qianhua frowned.

Mo Yan smiled and said, "That is to say, the young master is the first, and you are the second." ”

"That's pretty much it. Jun Qianhua was triumphant and said, "Then I'll go." ”

Ma Yangchen said: "Don't mess around. Besides, Uncle Ye has the grace of reinvention for me, and you must not be rude to him in the future. ”

"Oh. Jun Qianhua said stupidly.

Mo Yan pulled Jun Qianhua aside and whispered: "If you really want to help the young master, there is no way, but it is just troublesome." ”

"Tell me about it. Jun Qianhua looked curious.

"The ancients had a saying that there were three visits to the thatched house. What about you, from today onwards, go to Tianning Temple to kneel, if General Ye doesn't agree for a day, you will kneel for a day. Maybe one day General Ye will be soft-hearted and will go up the mountain with you. Mo Yan said mysteriously.

"Get out. Jun Qianhua waved his hand and made a gesture to fight. Mo Yan hurriedly smiled and ran away.

Ma Yangchen said: "You reminded me, look at the thatched house three times, yes, you can't give up easily." ”
