1.

Chen Laosan was one thing wrong - Guan Tianxia ushered in the end of his life in the warm spring of March.

At the end of March of the sixteenth year of Shaoxing.

Tingquan Mountain was besieged by Xue Bi's counterinsurgency army for a whole month. Tens of thousands of people were trapped on Tingquan Mountain, and the entire Tingquan Mountain was overwhelmed.

The spring flowers are blooming, and the entire Tingquan Mountain is bare, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the bare gray and black soil, without a trace of color.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Guan Tianxia committed suicide in the Tingquan faction and ended up with hatred. Wu Heilong and Liao Qi's sister-in-law threw themselves into the sparkling river hand in hand, Chen Dadao brandished a big knife and cut off his head, and He Baiqi walked into the camp tent of Xue Bi's army with a white flag.

The war seems to have subsided.

However, the land burned by the war is still a waterfall of bones, and the lives are devastated.

The emperor, who has always been stingy, tightened his belt in order to restore the livelihood of Fujian and Jiangxi, and allocated 30 million taels of silver for the post-war reconstruction of Fujian and Jiangxi.

However, what worries me is that the post of the chief secretary of the 30 million taels of silver dispatch has fallen into the hands of Liu Wufeng. When I heard this, I let out a feeble sigh.

Satsuki asked me, "Why are you sighing?"

I smiled and told Xiao Yue what Liu Wufeng had done in the past. After hearing this, Xiao Yue also sighed and said: "People are good people, but officials are corrupt officials, and the two are not in conflict, which is really interesting." ”

The hidden dragon stream, flowing water and falling flowers, full of soft beige, like a beautiful fairyland, make people feel comfortable and serene.

Xiao Yue pulled out the blue light sword, and the blue light was also very bright in a scene of rice light. She smiled slightly, dancing her sword like a fairy. Pieces of fluttering petals fluttered in the air with the blade of the sword, like a fluttering ribbon on the fairy's body.

The blue light sword flashed, the tip of the sword pointed at me, and the ribbon fluttered towards me, and the clever sword qi was hidden in it, with a sharpness enough to pierce everything.

I thought, looking at Satsuki, at the sword in her hand that stabbed at me, and didn't move.

The moment the first petal touched the tip of my nose, the clever sword qi turned into a gentle warm breeze, rolling the petals in the sky and pounced on my face, like a hand gently caressing.

The rain of flowers dissipated, and the tip of the Qingguang Sword was three inches in front of my eyes, and Xiao Yue asked me with a smile: "Is my swordsmanship any good?"

I grabbed her hand, took her in my arms, and said, "Good." It's just that...... Not fast enough. ”

2.

In April, warm winds blow through mountain streams, carrying the intoxicating scent of flowers.

A young man in white appeared by the stream, with a flat smile, and walked towards me.

His appearance surprised me, but it wasn't a surprise either.

He is a persistent person and an ambitious person. Driven by persistence and ambition, nothing can come as a surprise to a person.

Yi cautiously hugged his fist at me and said, "Brother Ji is really clever in hiding, and it really makes me look for it." ”

I said, "I know you're going to find me sooner or later." ”

Yi Caution's smile was still flat, and his gaze was deep that he shouldn't have at his age. He said, "Have you forgotten what Brother Ji promised me?"

I said, "I haven't forgotten." ”

Yi nodded carefully and said, "Very good." I didn't see you in the Wulin League that day, and I thought that Brother Ji didn't believe what he said, so he regretted it. ”

I sighed and said, "The situation was critical, and I had no choice but to leave in a hurry. I told him to wait a moment, and then I went back to the cave and took out the wooden box.

Gently brush off the shallow dust on the wooden box. This is the last item Bai Jingxing left me, although I haven't opened it yet, although I am very reluctant, I must hand it over to Yi Jingxin.

Xiao Yue asked me, "Are you sure you give this to Yi Caution?"

I said, "Only by handing it over can you be careful and let me go." Otherwise, he would have been looking for me. ”

Satsuki nodded, handed the blue light sword to me, and said, "Take it, just in case." ”

I walked out of the cave with my sword in my hand, and walked up to Yi Xin for the moment. His flat expression could no longer hide the excitement in his heart, and he couldn't wait for me to deliver the wooden box to his face, and he couldn't wait to snatch it away.

Yi smiled cautiously and stroked the wooden box, as if the ordinary wood was enough to satisfy everything in his heart. He flipped through the wooden box in his hand, and suddenly his face changed, and he asked, "This, how can this be opened?"

I said, "I don't know. ”

Yi looked at me suspiciously and asked, "You never opened it?"

I said, "Never." ”

Yi Jing still didn't give up, and asked again: "Did Master teach you how to open it?"

Bai Jingxing did tell me that when I could catch the one hundred and thirteen silver needles shot out of the bamboo tube, I would be able to open the wooden box. It's a pity that until the bamboo tube was snatched away by Yi Carefully, I couldn't catch one hundred and thirteen silver needles.

I looked at Yi Cautious's anxious appearance, and I couldn't help but want to laugh at his persistence. At his age, he should have been a carefree teenager who could enjoy his brother's care unscrupulously on Qingyun Mountain, but because of a position that should not belong to him, he attacked and calculated all day long, forcing himself to rebel against his relatives.

I said, "He didn't say anything." ”

Yi Jing suddenly yelled: "Impossible! You must know, you just don't want to tell me!"

I sneered and said, "If I had known, I would have turned it on a long time ago." ”

Yi Cautious, his eyes are stagnant, and his spirit is sluggish. It was a sense of despair that had vanished hope. He muttered, "How is it possible, how is it possible...... I will soon be able to practice peerless martial arts, and the whole Qingyun will be convinced! But...... But ......"

"Why is this happening?"

Yi Cheng let out a loud roar, lifted the wooden box and slammed it on the ground.

With a "click", the wooden box shattered, and a white piece of paper appeared under the broken wood.

Yi Cheng and I were stunned at the same time, no one thought that the method of opening the wooden box would be so simple.

Yi cautiously stepped forward, grabbed the white paper in his hand, and took two steps back vigilantly.

"Hahahaha......" Yi carefully smiled, he shook the white paper in his hand, and shouted, "The emperor does not live up, the emperor does not live up!"

After speaking, he opened the blank paper in his hand. A square piece of white paper, no more than seven inches long and wide, through the back of the paper, I only saw a large black letter.

"Quick?!"

Yi carefully read it out of his mouth, and he flipped the white paper back and forth in his hand several times in disbelief, but the second word never appeared on the white paper.

Fast!

This is the secret book of martial arts that Bai Jingxing left me. Kanshu.com

I couldn't help but find it amusing—it was just one word, why did he make it so complicated and mysterious, why didn't he just say it to me.

Yi Cheng was completely desperate. The white paper fell from his hand to the ground, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he was laughing at something. He said, "I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid! Master is the best at deceiving people, Master is a liar!"

Looking at Yi Cautious's appearance, I suddenly felt sympathy. I haven't experienced that kind of feeling of being obsessed with being empty in the end. I couldn't help but persuade him: "Maybe Senior Bai has another deep meaning." It's just that we haven't understood it yet. ”

"What a deep meaning!" Yi Cheng said with a wry smile, "I, the master, was not Qingyun's person in the first place. As the head of the Qingyun faction, he never took the affairs of the Qingyun faction to heart. Until the end, I will not hand over a peerless martial art to you or to us disciples. Maybe...... The secret book of the Qingyun Sect that has been passed down from generation to generation has been brought to the Netherworld by him, and it is not known. ”

I said, "He is your master after all." ”

"Master?" Yi Cheng smiled coldly and said, "I started late, and I was brought up by my senior brothers, and even my martial arts were taught by my senior brothers." Now, I am the head of the house, and none of them obey me. In everything, he still regards himself as a senior brother and points fingers at me. Master, it's just a title for me. ”

Yi carefully turned around and walked towards the outside of the Hidden Dragon Stream. His lost back looked extremely unsightly in the beautiful scenery of the Hidden Dragon Stream.

I couldn't bear it, so I stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Yi carefully stopped and said coldly: "Go and see the excitement of your good brother." ”

Good brother?!

I asked, "What a good brother." ”

Yi Cheng turned around and smiled coldly: "You don't know, your good brother Li Xiaoqian has now carried the black pot for you, and he is waiting for the fate in Lin'an Mansion." ”

My heart trembled and I asked, "What do you mean by carrying the black cauldron for me?"

Yi Cheng didn't answer me, he shook his body, turned into a white shadow, and left in a flash.

I froze in place, constantly looking for Yi Caution's last words.

What happened to Li Xiaoqian?

A soft hand rested on my shoulder, waking me from my musings. I turned my head and saw Satsuki's gentle smiling face.

"If you're worried, let's go back and take a look. Satsuki said.

I shook my head and said, "No." I promised you......"

Satsuki interrupted me and said, "Don't worry about me. I don't want you to be thinking about the past for the rest of our lives. ”

I was silent, not knowing how to answer, my heart full of hesitation.

Satsuki said again, "Besides, it's not safe here. We're going to have to leave sooner or later. ”

Oh, yes. Where you can find it carefully, others may be able to find it. And he doesn't necessarily help us keep secrets.

I said, "Where are we going?"

Xiao Yue looked up at the vast and endless sky, sighed, and said, "The ends of the earth." ”

3.

At the end of March of the sixteenth year of Shaoxing. After Guan Tianxia committed suicide, Xue Bi's army attacked Tingquan Mountain.

Before a single sword or sword was moved, all the "thieves" who were already dying of hunger were captured.

It is said that when Xue Bi was raiding the Tingquan faction, he found a letter of worship in Wu Heilong's study, and it was written on Li Xiaoqian, who claimed to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.

After the suicide of the world, the remnants of the various sects in the rivers and lakes were worried that after the imperial court put down the rebellion, they then carried out a purge of the various sects. Therefore, they united for the first time in history and gathered in Tianmu Mountain outside Lin'an Mansion to ask the emperor to severely punish those who caused trouble in the rivers and lakes, and fulfill the original promise - to return the rivers and lakes to the people of the rivers and lakes.

After managing the turmoil and turmoil in the world, although the Great Song Dynasty won the final victory, it also suffered heavy losses. The livelihood of the people in Fujian and Jiangxi urgently needed to be restored, and the imperial court was no longer able to resist another turmoil.

The emperor who is high above once again handed down an edict to this Jianghu: martial arts is the story of the ancestors, the way of civil and military affairs cannot be abandoned, and the special order is to restore martial arts, just like the old system.

Although Zhao Gou was reluctant to say it explicitly, he acquiesced to the existence of the rivers and lakes on the grounds of rebuilding martial arts. Just when the major sects were about to point the finger at me, the letter with Li Xiaoqian's name written on it was presented to the court.

When I met Liu Wufeng, I asked him, why did the emperor have to make Li Xiaoqian a scapegoat?

Liu Wufeng said: "You know too many things, and they are not in the emperor's control. He naturally doesn't want to throw you out, and to keep you is to keep the secret. ”

It's a funny reason, I said, "I'm a pawn, what secrets can I know?"

Liu Wufeng said: "Never underestimate what you know, maybe your disapproval will cause a storm." ”

I asked, "What will happen to Li Xiaoqian?"

Liu Wufeng shook his head and said, "He is in prison in Dali Temple, and everything can only be left to the emperor's fate." ”

4.

In the middle of April of the sixteenth year of Shaoxing.

In order to quell the fact that all the major factions gathered in Tianmu Mountain to petition, the emperor once again moved down the edict: Li Xiaoqian was bold and reckless, pretending to be the leader of the martial arts alliance to play with right and wrong, causing trouble in the rivers and lakes, giving the name Li Sin, and sending Yazhou to Yazhou, and he was never allowed to return to Middle-earth.

When the messenger who escorted Li Xiaoqian to Yazhou brought him out of the prison of Dali Temple, I waited in front of the gate of Dali Temple with a hat of black yarn and Liu Wufeng.

When Li Xiaoqian saw me, he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that it was you who came to give me a ride in the end." ”

At that time, I looked at Li Xiaoqian's lonely expression, and all the resentment disappeared in an instant. I said, "We are brothers." ”

Li Xiaoqian smiled, it was an extremely bitter self-deprecating laugh, and the laughter made my heart more and more uncomfortable. He said: "The TV series is all fucking fake, Lao Tzu just wants to mix better, but in the end he mixes up as his own ancestors." ”

I advised him, "This is the end of the matter, let's look away." ”

Li Xiaoqian yelled at me: "How can you see it?! When I think of the New Year's holidays, my grandfather and my father have to kowtow to my tablet and incense, I fucking feel stuffed!"

I don't have a legendary experience like him, and I will never be able to understand his so-called heart congestion. But I can see Li Xiaoqian's loss. When he left, he didn't leave me a proper apology, but just gave me a frustrated and lonely back that I will never forget.

The things of this world are really unpredictable.

Farewell Li Xiaoqian, I rushed to Shaoxing as scheduled. At that time, Xiao Yue was already waiting in the Lu Mansion. When he said goodbye to Lu You, he was already much older. The white silk of the temples is like the stars in the night, dense and obvious.

After all, Lu You couldn't disobey his mother's order, and a letter of resignation completely ended his ten-year relationship with Tang Wan. At that time, he was concentrating on preparing for the scientific expedition in the autumn of the sixteenth year of Shaoxing.

Lu You said, he envied me, I can be free with a light sword, fast horses, and travel with my husband in the rivers and lakes.

I helped Xiaoyue into the carriage, looking at Lu You's tired appearance, and there were many comforting words in my mouth, but I couldn't say a word after all.

The carriage swayed gently, with Xiaoyue and Shu Yao, our family embarked on a journey to find the ends of the earth.

If there is no later story, I think this is the ending I was most looking forward to back then—a wife and a child, to find a pure land away from the chaos of the world......
