"How much do you know about the outside of the Seychelles. ”

"I don't know much, the grassland people live by herding. ”

The green grass, the fat cattle and sheep, the eagle in the sky, the barbecue meat by the bonfire, and the yurts that can be seen everywhere are the impressions of the grassland outside the Saiwai in Mu Yanping's heart. Once upon a time, she also thought about going to the grasslands, breathing in the thin air, and then taking in the beauty of the sunset.

"Do you know where the fattest plains of the steppe are? ”

"The Loop. ”

"That's right, my hometown is there. When talking about these two words, Qin Chuan's face, which had always been very stiff, also showed a rare gentleness.

The Hetao area refers to the Yellow River "several" bend and its surrounding basins, the Hetao has provided rich cultural resources and living resources for the Chinese people since ancient times, and the folk proverb also says that "the Yellow River is harmful, only one set of riches".

The topography of the Hetao is unique in the world's major rivers, the surrounding areas of the Hetao, including the Huangshui Basin, the Taoshui Basin, the Luoshui Basin, the Weishui Basin, the Fenshui Basin, the Sangqian River Basin, the Zhangshui Basin, the Hutuo River Basin, all have relatively good natural environmental conditions, they surround the Hetao area, just like the stars holding the moon, the Hetao civilization has been pushed to the highest peak, and at the same time the Hetao civilization has spread to a wider area, among which there are many irrigation channels with a long history, which is called "plugging the south of the Yangtze River".

"I heard that it is a very beautiful place with mountains and water. ”

"It's beautiful, but the blue sky and green water are only a small part of it, just like this glass of water, only the outside is crystal clear. Qin Chuan poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table, and there were a few tea leaves rippling in the golden tea, but there was no variegation other than that. "But if you add a little impurity to it, it will spread quickly and the whole environment will be muddy. ”

He pinched a small piece of dust from the ground and threw it into the cup, just as he said, the originally insignificant dust quickly decomposed when it met the water, and then he took Mu Yanping's used chopsticks and stirred it inside, and the water in the whole cup was dyed turbid at once.

"Hetao is such an example, as long as there is a little shadow of Mars, if it is slightly stirred, it will burn all over the grassland, but the product that spreads out is not dust, but blood," Mu Yanping clearly felt that Qin Chuan's originally calm tone was suddenly covered with a trace of heaviness, " It has never belonged to the aborigines, the resources of the Hetao are inexhaustible, whether it is the Hu people, the Qiang people or the Xianbei people, even the iron horses of some distant nomads often gallop on the grasslands, often in order to fight for this place to make a river of blood, all the powerful tribes hope to receive the Hetao into their own territory, and our aborigines are more like hired people, when the Qiang people occupy here, we give the Qiang people grazing and enclosure, and when the Hu people occupy here, we work for them again, there, the original aborigines are just slaves of the colonizers。 ”

"Why are you talking to me about this, do you want me to pity you, or do you do this to every one of your captives. ”

Although it is not known whether what he said is true or false, Mu Yanping is still very surprised that he will say these words to himself.

"You're an exception, and I just want you to know more about me. You're twenty-two years old, aren't you, and I'm thirty-eight," Qin Chuan emphasized his age again, and he didn't care if Mu Yanping wanted to hear it or not, he continued, " In fact, it is good to be occupied by outsiders, to be called as a slave, at least to ensure a minimum of life, many times in order to save a mouthful of food, there are many shepherds who are directly expelled or sold to other places like livestock, our family is a lonely ghost who was expelled from the territory by the Hu people, and then has been tossed and turned outside the Saiwai, every few years the Hidden Sword Gate will recruit children from all over the place who are willing to join the sect, I was just thirteen years old at the time, my parents can no longer afford to raise me, in order to be able to make me eat, they sent me to the Hidden Sword Gate, among all the children who were called, I am still considered to have better bones, thanks to the master of the door can afford itIt has been twenty-five years since I was sent to a dedicated manager to carefully train and teach martial arts. ”

"Didn't your parents go to you again? ”

"I've been here a few times, and when they see that I'm doing well, they're all relieved, I haven't seen them since I was fifteen, and I'm a little similar to you, and the kid named Mu Li, and I've been separated from my parents at a very early age. ”

"Your sect even allows parents to visit their children, I thought that once I went in, I would be isolated from the world. ”

"It's not what you think," Qin Chuan waved his hand very resolutely, "I don't know what you think in your heart, but our sect master is by no means a person who annihilates human nature, as long as he can make enough credit to the sect, he can even receive a lot of money, and then leave smoothly." ”

"Sounds good, but have you ever thought about leaving your sect in the future? ”

"Never, since the day I was taught martial arts by the Hidden Sword Sect, I have sworn in my heart that I will always be loyal to the sect until the day when I can help the sect master achieve the unification of the Central Plains, and for this we need more talents to assist. ”

"So you found me, thank you very much for telling me these heart-wrenching words," Mu Yanping pursed her lips and replied with a smile, "No matter how nice you say, it is absolutely impossible for me to join your sect, according to what you said, if you really let you continue to grow, it will definitely become a big problem for the Central Plains Martial Arts, and if so, it will be even more impossible for me to help you." ”

"Even if that's what's wrong, don't you still have the emperor and the martial arts alliance master ruling you now, at most it's just a change of ruler, maybe it will bring more unprecedented prosperity. On the way to the Central Plains, I have also seen many scenes of displaced relatives and separation, and people's lives are not very good, so there is no need to continue to support them, at least in the years outside the Saiwai, I have never seen a common people under the rule of the Hidden Sword Gate worry about whether they may starve to death when they get up the next day. ”

"That's really nice to say! Have you ever thought that if one day you really march into the Central Plains, how many innocent Li people will be involved in the war, that guy named Jackdaw should also be your gang, and who knows how many more fierce guys like that in the Hidden Sword Gate you said. ”

“...... , even if it is a famous and decent family, there will be a few scum, let alone us. ”

"Oh? Then let me ask you again, in order to get the crystal stone, even a scum like Han Qianye can be used by you, you know how many bad things that bastard has done, even such a guy can be used by you, who knows what more terrible things you will do after you get the crystal stone, it should not be an exaggeration to describe what you are doing now. ”

“...... , I actually don't like that guy either, these things are all handled by the jackdaw, and it was already like this when I came," Qin Chuan was obviously a little weak by Mu Yanping's question, but he still had to continue to explain with a hard face, "When this matter is over, that guy will be of little use to us, and if you want to, I can even help you kill him." ”

"Hey, hey, I'm just a second-level sword refiner, there are too many people like me on the entire continent to count, it can be said that I can't be a big handful, in short, I won't join you, if you think I'm worthless, you can kill me now, and you don't have to grovel to me like now." I'm a little tired, so if it's okay, please go back. ”

Mu Yanping stood up as she spoke, then turned around and walked towards the bed. She can already be said to be completely sideways, so faceless, presumably this time she must be able to force this tall man to be angry, but the development of things is still not as she expected. As soon as she turned around, she heard Qin Chuan say again in that awkward-sounding tone, "If it weren't for the Hidden Sword Gate, if it was just that I just wanted to leave you behind, what would you say." ”
