Chapter 3 The Sea and the Sky

After dusk, although it is difficult to walk in the dark, these water robbers are experts who are familiar with waterways, and they lead the way with small boats hanging lights, and the two warships of the Jinfan Society and the Skull and Bones Club are flying. Their purpose is that Jinfan will sail along the river in the secret cave of Taibai Lake in Chuyang County, and it will take more than 200 miles to reach Zhuanshuikou, in order to catch up with the Jiangdong Navy before the big move, Yi Buping did not hesitate to choose to take a night boat. Most of the other temporary groups of water thieves hurriedly thanked each other and dispersed, most of them had small boats and few people, or they could hide in a river with no people, or they would abandon the boat and land on the shore and merge into the vast sea of people, which was also a good way to take refuge. After all, in the next few months, the two families should not imagine that the river water is unimpeded as before, and they have lost the advantage of fluctuating back and forth, so even if there is a secret cave that can be temporarily hidden, but the supplies needed by hundreds of people are not a few, if they get supplies from a fixed channel for a long time, then it will be difficult to escape the eyes and ears of Chunshui Hall, once they find out their whereabouts, this time they must send troops to encircle and suppress, and it will be difficult to escape again.

After a hard day, almost everyone should have gone to Dream Zhou Gong, but in the main cabin of the Jinfan Battle Ship, Yi Buping stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking up at the swaying of the stars, his face was as calm as water, and his eyebrows were full of energy, without the slightest hint of trouble, and under a lonely lamp in the room, Wen Jinru sat at the table of the Eight Immortals with a gloomy expression, a pair of eyes that were unpredictable, and it was obvious that his heart was turbulent.

Yi Buping smiled slightly, didn't look back, and said slowly: "Brother Wen, Yi has already sent someone to order three giant sea boats in the Nanmin Yu Clan, and all the offensive and defensive equipment are ready, just waiting for the next hand to pay the money and deliver the goods in the other hand." You are a smart person, you should know the current situation, only you and I are left with the six major Kou, but since the Tang Clan has already done it, even if you and I echo each other, it is just a fish and shrimp in dry water. Instead of enduring the arrogance of the powerful and wealthy in the Central Plains, it is better to sail out to sea together, fight to the death with their counterparts at sea, and fight their way out. If one day you can't lift the sword, even if the war in the Central Plains is not extinguished, we can also find a paradise overseas and spend the rest of our lives in peace, which is better than being used as a dog and horse servant. If it weren't for the fact that this time Brother Yi also lost a lot, lest it be difficult to gain a foothold on the sea, Yi would not be so reckless, asking the Skeleton Club to merge with my Jinfan Rendezvous, it is said that Brother Wen can be the master of the Skull and Bones Club, why not think about it, if the Lord Chu will have any difficulties, if Brother Wen is willing to join, Yi is also wholeheartedly welcome, today's battle, Yi has also seen Brother Wen's talents, if you can work together with Brother Wen to create a great cause, the fun is endless, I don't know what Brother Wen wants?"

Wen Jinru's face became even more ugly when he heard this, at this moment he really regretted accepting Yi Buping's invitation, and ran to the Jinfan Society's warship late at night, and now Yi Buping made it clear that he wanted to annex the Skull and Bones Society, if he refused, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave alive, and once he was restrained, he would have a rough temperament, and the unsuspecting boss wouldn't he become a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of slaughter? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly complain about Boss Chu, after nightfall today, Yi Buping sent someone to invite Boss Chu to his boat to discuss the future behavior, which is also reasonable, after all, the future is uncertain, and the two of them, as leaders, naturally have to be careful. However, although Boss Chu was brave and fierce, he was quite tired from a hard day's battle, so he pushed the matter to Wen Jinru, but he fell asleep with his head covered. This is Boss Chu's consistent style, Wen Jinru is also commonplace, I just want to listen to Yi Buping's opinion, go back and discuss with Boss Chu, anyway, his decision Boss Chu will probably not object, so he did not forcibly ask Boss Chu to come, lest he be angry and cause trouble. Unexpectedly, Yi Buping actually set up a Hongmen banquet, not to mention that Yi Buping himself is strong in martial arts, and the Jinfan Society is strong, far above the Skull Club, that is, the future Demon Emperor who is now on this ship, and the Miss Qingping who is actually proficient in the Seven Evil Fish and Dragon Formation, is not a Skull Club that can fight. But if you want the skeleton to be slaughtered, and even ask him Wen Jinru to betray the big boss, it is absolutely impossible, thinking of this, Wen Jinru's eyes flashed with determination, but his mouth said euphemistically: "This kind of thing can only be decided by the big boss, Wen is blessed by the big boss, how can he make his own claim and betray his brother, if the lord of the Yihui is really as concerned about love as rumored, let Wen go back and discuss with the big boss?"

Yi Buping naturally saw Wen Jinru's dissatisfaction and determination hidden under the calm appearance, smiled coldly, and said: "This time the forces we offended are not trivial, everyone knows that the six great Kou are already yesterday's yellow flowers, and it is impossible to make a comeback, Yi Mou has already made proper arrangements, from now on, the sea and the sky, not affected by those corrupt officials, powerful and powerful, what does the life and death of your Skull Club have to do with Yi, if it weren't for Yi Mou's valuing Brother Wen's talents, I'm afraid that if you want to belong to it, Yi Mou still doesn't want to accept it." Yi is also kind, and he doesn't want to watch the heroes of the Skull Club walk on the road of no return. Yi is not deliberately separating Brother Wen and Boss Chu, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Brother Wen is the brainchild of Chu Da's master, as long as Brother Wen is willing to agree, will Boss Chu still have objections? Or Boss Chu can't let go of the leader's position, although Yi does not dare to give up the leader's position, but Yi can guarantee that this second position must be his, as long as he is willing to agree, from now on, he will share good and woe, and will never lose it. It's just that if Boss Chu doesn't know the current affairs and wants to kill himself, Brother Wen has a splendid chest, do you want to die for him? Brother Wen can rest assured, if you feel that Yi has bad intentions, just go back and tell Master Chu, you and I will go our separate ways, and Yi will never stop you. It's just that Yi doesn't know if Brother Wen is willing to participate in the grand event with Zaixia, or if he prefers to be a water dog who is shouted and killed by someone, or even ends up dead without a place to be buried?"

Wen Jinru's expression was shocked, he really didn't believe that Yi Buping would let go of the Skull Club easily, but in any case, Yi Buping's posture was still very high, and Yi Buping also said very reasonably, if he continued to stay on the river, he would inevitably suffer the revenge of Shi Ming or Ximen Rin, and it was really better to sail out to sea. In fact, he already had such a plan two years ago, but a good warship would cost at least 200,000 taels of silver, Boss Chu has never paid much attention to money, even if he has helped manage money and food in recent years, there is not so much silver, if he is really so rich, why bother to be a water coward. After pondering for a moment, Wen Jinru said: "The owner of the meeting has good intentions, Wen knows it, but this matter is related to the life and death of the association, Wen still needs to discuss with the big boss before he can decide, and Wen still has doubts, as far as I know, the master of the association has always been righteous and squandering money, and how did he accumulate so much gold and silver?"

Yi Buping smiled slightly and said, "These are Yi's secrets, if Brother Wen agrees to join the alliance, naturally there will be no concealment." ”

Wen Jinru didn't ask any more, got up and waved it, and didn't retreat, just turned around and walked out, Yi Buping's eyes flashed with a strange light, whether he could annex the Skull and Bones Society was the first test of his hegemony, in the past, Jinfan would rather lack than abuse, never annex weak colleagues, but the time has not come, he does not want to attract attention, but also to ensure that Jinfan will not be good or bad, and now he is ready to make a big difference, then more talents are needed, and the Skull and Bones Club, which can be called the elite of the brave and good at fighting, although it is too loose, but it is the goal he has coveted for a long time, and there is also a resourceful Wen Jinru, who can be used as a thinker, how could he not go to great lengths to find a way to annex the Skull and Bones Society, and this was his first step, there must be no mistakes, and he also believed that he could succeed, it was best not to use force, if they really didn't know each other, then he didn't mind his hands being stained with the blood of his allies who had fought side by side.

Wen Jinru went down the rope ladder to the boat in a daze, and then followed the rope ladder back to his ship, as soon as he landed on the deck, two shadows flashed out in the darkness, saluting Wen Jinru as if he were courteous, Wen Jinru waved his hand tiredly and asked them to continue to hide and be vigilant, and without saying a few words to them as usual, he walked to the cabin door in a distracted manner. While walking, Wen Jinru only felt that his heart had sunk to the heart of the river, although the two warships were the same darkness, but on the warship of the Jinfan Society, it was silent, and even the sound of breathing that should exist was difficult to hear, while on the warship of the Skull Society, there were clearly audible snoring sounds from time to time, as well as faintly audible moans, and even the vague sound of a few people who had experienced the bloody battle during the day and couldn't sleep holding wine bottles while drinking wildly. Comparing the two, which side is the rabble and which side is the real elite, you can immediately know, if Yi Buping really sneaks up on the night, I am afraid that it will be captured with his hands, and it will be effortless. Looking back at the warship of the Jinfan Society, I only felt that there seemed to be a fierce beast lurking in the darkness, roaring silently, and it could rush out at any time to kill and devour.

Sighing softly, Wen Jinru naturally knew that this situation could not be blamed by others, he didn't think about serious military discipline, but Boss Chu was troublesome, he didn't like to restrain his brothers, and he didn't fully accept his suggestions, after a long time, he didn't mind anymore, after all, he was just reckless, he didn't need to be so serious, as long as he ensured enough vigilance, he wouldn't be attacked by the enemy, so he had just gone through a hard battle, Jinfan would still not relax, even if he found a warning on his side, I was afraid that most of the congregation would not have a way to fight with a knife, right?

Walking into the cabin door, after hesitating, Wen Jinru walked to Boss Chu's room, and before he pushed open the hatch, he had already heard the sound of long and even breathing in the room. Gently pushing open the hatch, Wen Jinru saw at a glance that in the messy cabin, Boss Chu was lying on the bed with his back facing the sky and sleeping soundly, the pale moonlight reflected on his face through the half-open porthole, and the fierce and vicious appearance in the day also softened because of sleep, not like a murderous water coward, but like an innocent and hearty child. Unconsciously, Wen Jinru began to recall the scenes from the meeting to the present, although this person is always reckless and impulsive, and always wants to clean up the aftermath for him, but he does not have the cunning and ruthlessness of ordinary water coquetts, although his hands are bloody, and he does not regard human life in his eyes, but he does not have the hobby of bullying the weak, and he also treats his subordinates as siblings, and can be regarded as a rare good man with affection and righteousness. Thinking that he was going to persuade this reckless man who had both life-saving grace and brotherly affection for him to bow his knees to others, Wen Jinru only felt that his heart was as painful as frying and burning. What's more, although Boss Chu is reckless, he is not willing to bend his knees easily, once his temper attacks, he is even more lawless, if he wants to persuade him to cooperate with Yi Buping, how easy is it to talk about? But if you don't do this, the skeleton will be a dead end at all, after thinking about it for a long time, Wen Jinru finally made up his mind, if the big boss refuses, then he will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman at most, and set foot on the Huangquan Road with him, but it is just a life, what is there to care about.

After sitting for a long time, there was a noisy footstep from outside the door, Wen Jinru frowned slightly, knowing that this was the beginning of the shift change of the brothers in the meeting, it must have been the third watch, and he couldn't delay any longer, he took a deep breath, he reached out and gently pushed Boss Chu's shoulder, his fingers just touched Boss Chu's skin, only to feel like a lightning strike, and his body was shaken by his hidden and unemitted talisman true qi, in fact, Boss Chu's martial arts have not yet reached the realm of true qi, but when he was asleep, he was ignorant and unconscious, but secretly in line with the innate reason, so there was such a performance。 This is because Wen Jinru is not malicious, otherwise he is afraid that he will be shocked into internal injuries. This kind of thing has never happened before, Wen Jinru was naturally quite shocked, but Boss Chu also woke up, after all, he was a good man in the green forest who licked blood with a knife, although he was on his own boat, his eyes had not yet opened, and he had already grabbed the heavy sword on the pillow with one hand, until Wen Jinru's surprised cry came from his ears, he relaxed and sat up, and asked lazily: "Second Wen, why did you come here so late, what can't you call the shots?"

Wen Jinru only felt remorseful, and Boss Chu's trust made him more and more confident in sharing good and bad, and he didn't care that it would make Boss Chu suspicious, so he said all the conversations with Yi Buping. Boss Chu listened, his face gradually turned cold, although his temperament was reckless and rude, but it was not a fluke that he could become the big boss of the Skull Club, naturally he had the corresponding prestige and bearing, Wen Jinru was already guilty, and felt more and more uncomfortable, he couldn't help but subconsciously stand up, standing solemnly beside the bed, waiting for Boss Chu's questioning or even reprimand.

Boss Chu ignored Wen Jinru's panicked expression, just got up and got out of bed, casually picked up the clothes on the chair and draped them on his body, walked to the window and looked up at the gloomy sky, a waning moon was dim and pale, but Geng Geng Xinghe was clearly visible, thinking of the bloody battle for more than ten years, in fact, it was just to survive, the existence of the Skull and Bones Club had gradually become a shackle for him, for him, as long as he could eat three meals and clothing, happy and hateful, he didn't care about the so-called status and power at all, but he had to do it reluctantly, so he would push most of the affairs to Wen Jinru to deal with, if it weren't for that, Today will not blurt out that he wants to give up the position of the big master, that is his true wish hidden in the bottom of his heart, thinking of this, he smiled, and laughed loudly: "Second child, who do you show this crying face, Lord Yihui is right, you must also have a heart like a mirror, after this scuffle, the heroes and heroes on the river have been swept away, either lost their heads, or softened their knees, the so-called six big Kou must be removed from the rivers and lakes." If you don't have the means to reach the sky, don't want to continue to show off your might, Lao Tzu's ability, you know it in your heart, in the past, you could still fill the number, mix and eat on the river, and now you want to open up another world and give your brothers a way to live, but it is not as big as the ability of the Lord of the Islamic Society, and the road is wide. That's okay, since the brothers have something to rely on, Lao Tzu just happened to go away by himself, this skeleton will be Lao Tzu don't want it, wait for tomorrow Lao Tzu will go on his own road, and be a lone thief in the future, one person will eat enough and the whole family will not be hungry, will you be worried all day long in the future?"

Wen Jinru only felt that his brain had become a mess, and he didn't know where his previous intelligence had gone, how could he not know that the skeleton would definitely go to the end of the road if he continued like this, but he didn't expect that Boss Chu would also be insightful. pushed himself and others, and never thought that Boss Chu would be so open-minded, originally thinking about how to persuade Boss Chu to see the situation clearly and know what to advance and retreat, but at this moment he couldn't help but comfort: "Big boss, don't be discouraged, our brothers work together, there may not be no chance-" Before the words were finished, they were automatically silenced. Looking at each other, I saw that Boss Chu's eyes were no longer the usual ignorance and confusion, but as dazzling as the brightest star in the sky, and his face was even more grinning, without the slightest reluctance. Wen Jinru's heart suddenly brightened, knowing that there was no need to worry about this always confused and reckless big boss, his mind turned, and he said with a smile: "That's it, since the big boss is not attached to prestige and status, and the younger brother has nothing to say, why don't we let the brothers choose whether to follow the Yihui master or not, and the skeleton will disperse, and when the aftermath is completed, the younger brother will accompany you to wander the world? With the martial arts of the big boss and Wen's intelligence, I think you won't starve to death." The big stone in his heart had already landed, and his tone was relaxed, and he even had a little smile.

Boss Chu shook his head and said: "Wen Er, you are different from Lao Tzu, you have a lot of knowledge in your stomach, if you hadn't been saved by me at the beginning, where would my small temple accommodate your big fish, Lao Tzu is going to be free now, your martial arts are so bad, it is more cumbersome to follow Lao Tzu, it is better to follow the Lord of the Yi Hui to do a career, Lao Tzu sees that he is a person with a belly, and besides, our brothers are not good to just leave it alone, since the Lord of the Yi Hui also has this meaning, you can push the boat and agree." As he spoke, Boss Chu stretched out his palm and slapped Wen Jinru twice on the shoulder.

Looking at Boss Chu's hearty smile, Wen Jinru's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, he could feel the weight of the hot two palms, as well as the deep affection and friendship implied in it, unconsciously, the scene in his eyes gradually blurred, Wen Jinru felt extremely sorry in his heart, why he always couldn't help but look at him in the past, he always felt that he was crowned by a monkey, and he didn't look like a human king, but he was just a brave and ruthless reckless man, even if he did his best for him, he only regarded it as a reciprocal repayment, and he never thought about how tolerant this person was to himself, and now he really understands the respectability and cuteness of this rude man, but there is no chance to make up for it。

In the dead of night, Geng Geng Xinghe, but under the bright and extinguishing starlight, there is already an undercurrent turbulent, about four watches, Chu Boss and Wen Jinru have stepped into Yi Buping's room again, this time, the two sides reached a covenant without any mustard, Chu Boss did not care about all the power to hand, but also Wen Jinru "recommended" To Yi Buping, although Yi Buping still feels a little regretful that Boss Chu left it alone, but compared with the loss of a fierce general and one more possible henchman, Yi Buping is also satisfied, this annexation can be said to be a great joy, even Yi Buping never thought that it would be so smooth. After the reorganization, the Jinfan Club is still headed by Yi Buping, and three halls are set up, the Sea Shark Hall is responsible for looting operations, the Haiyan Hall is responsible for the internal affairs of the meeting, including the channels for supply and sale of stolen goods, and the Jingwei Hall recruits water and land masters to maintain the prestige and power of the Jinfan Society, the hall master of the Haiyan Hall is the old subordinate of the Jinfan Society, Yi Buping's henchman, Wen Jinru serves as the master of the Haiyan Hall, it can be said that he will grasp the money and food lifeline of the emerging Jinfan Society, and under Yi Buping's strong invitation, Boss Chu occupies a guest position in the Jingwei Hall, so that even if he wanders on the rivers and lakes in the future, he will not be without reliance, and the old family of the Skull Club can also be more at ease。

After everything was negotiated, Boss Chu didn't bother to intervene anymore, and went to make up for sleep, but Wen Jinru was left by Yi Buping to discuss the merger, when Wen Jinru asked again about the origin of the silver taels for the purchase of the sea ship, Yi Buping no longer concealed it, and said with a low smile: " Since the master of Wentang is also one of the six great masters, he naturally knows that we are beautiful on the surface, but in fact, if he wants to accumulate mountains of gold and silver, it is difficult and difficult, which of the giant businessmen in the world has no backstage, coupled with the coercion of the Tang family, Yi has spent ten years of hard work, but only accumulated 300,000 taels of silver, seeing that the situation is urgent, I originally wanted to tailor it, first buy a two-sea ship and then talk about it, but I didn't expect someone to send silver to the door, I can't hide it, Yi risked his life this time and Jiang Ning, Although it was also because of the old friendship, the most practical reason was the 500,000 taels of silver offered by Miss Qingping. After saying these few words, Yi Buping briefly explained the origin between himself and Qingping, Wen Jinru also sighed, but still asked puzzledly: "It turns out that Miss Qingping is actually the descendant of General Yin, no wonder she is proficient in the Seven Evil Fish and Dragon Formation, but as far as I know, after General Yin died, all the family wealth was swallowed up by the imperial court, Miss Qingping was still immature at the time, and it was not easy to save her life, how could there be so many silver taels?"

Yi Buping said with a smile: "I know a little bit about this, the lord is a hero, how can he not care about the things behind him, Yi once heard the lord mention it by chance, saying that it was to leave a secret treasure for the two young ladies as a dowry, which contains gold and silver, pearls and jade, and is priceless, and the sword is one of the treasures, and after the lord dies, the secret treasure will disappear into oblivion." This time, Miss Qingping came to trade with Yi with the Chunjun Sword, if Yi can rescue Zijing Gongzi unscathed, she is willing to give it away with a secret treasure, but Yi is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, as long as 500,000 taels of silver, the rest of the property will not be taken. Zijing Gongzi has been rescued, and Miss Qingping has promised to take the silver from the next generation, and within ten days, I will be able to get 500,000 taels of silver, so Yi Mou dared to order three sea ships. ”

Wen Jinru smacked her tongue when she heard this, and said: "Miss Qingping is really affectionate, and she actually rescued Zijing Gongzi with such a big hand, it can be said that she is not allowed to have eyebrows, and she is worthy of being the beloved daughter of General Yin, and she has the bearing of spending a lot of money with bloody hands in the past." ”

Yi Buping laughed loudly: "You haven't seen Miss Lu Qi yet, although Miss Lu Qi is not the general's own daughter, and she is indifferent by nature, not stained with vulgarity, but her mind and bearing are even more like the lord, according to Miss Qingping's tone, the lord handed over the secret treasure to Miss Lu Qi, if Miss Lu Qi refuses, Miss Qing Ping can use the secret treasure as a trading condition, just to save the second lady's lover, and easily throw away this amazing wealth, isn't this the first strange woman in the world?"

Wen Jinru's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said with a smile: "When the master said this, Wen also wants to appreciate Miss Luqi's demeanor, it's a pity, the two young ladies have been in Dongting for several years, but Wen didn't go to the meeting, and now that I think about it, it's really embarrassing." ”

Hearing this, Yi Buping's eyes flashed with admiration, but it was a flash, and he had recalled the shadow of Lu Qi in his mind, and he had been in the cave for a while, but there were only a few words, but he could already vaguely see Lu Qi's peerless style, but now the beauty is trapped in a cage, how can it not be emotional.

On the same warship, some people are preparing to spread their wings and soar, while others have fallen into the quagmire, and they can only struggle in pain, unable to survive or die. He Yunxiu was trapped in endless darkness, most of his body was immersed in the cold river water, there was a fishy smell that could not be swallowed between his mouth and nose, there seemed to be thousands of steel knives in his chest and abdomen that were repeatedly searching, the pain lingered among the limbs and hundreds of remains, and the hands that grabbed a thick iron chain across the water could not relax at all, otherwise he would inevitably drown in the water prison under serious injuries. What saddened him the most was the boundless darkness, the impoundment at the bottom of the ship, which did not see the light of day and did not hear anything, and this loneliness and coldness was enough to make the strongest people completely despair. I don't know how much time has passed in the dark, but the empty stomach and intestines have begun to contract and spasm, and the hunger that is far superior to any torture has made He Yunxiu's self-proclaimed stoic willpower begin to show signs of collapse.

Just before, he was also a trusted confidant of the Jinfan Society, compared to those congregations who had a deep relationship with Yibuping, he was just a little brother who had been in the league for a few years, but with his intelligence and loyalty, he had already won the trust of Yibuping, and began to step into the ranks of his henchmen, which was a status that could only be achieved by years of hard work and solitude, and it was also an achievement in exchange for blood and loyalty, but at that moment, it was all for naught. As the elite of the Fengtai Pavilion Vermilion Bird Division, he never doubted his talent, after being ordered to lurk in the Jinfan Society, he completely abandoned all the rules and habits of the past, and completely turned himself into a desperate young man who sacrificed his life after getting the help of his benefactor, and after countless intentional or unintentional temptations, he was finally completely trusted half a month ago and was able to participate in the Chibi Alliance.

Yi Buping attaches great importance to this alliance, and the latecomers who have joined the Jinfan Club over the years have been supported in advance, and only themselves are allowed to participate in it. Originally, he was still proud of this, but after arriving in Chibi, he realized that he had underestimated Yi Buping after all, and although he was able to participate in the secret, he was still excluded from the core. The first thing that made him feel uneasy was the appearance of Qingping, as soon as this girl dressed as a man appeared on the warship of the Jinfan Society, there were subtle changes within the Jinfan Society, and the backbone of the Jinfan Society had obvious trust and respect for the girl, but he could not get the slightest information about this girl, and he was also isolated intentionally or unintentionally, and there was no chance to get close to this girl at all, and he lost any possibility of communicating with the outside world. This made him understand that the trust he had gained was not enough, but it was also comforting for him to be able to defeat other latecomers, anyway, he was a secret spy who was ready to lurk for a long time, so he was not overly worried.

But the next development made him dumbfounded, ten decisive battles, Yang Ning's martial arts temperament made him admire, and he was even more happy that Xindu was joined by such a young master, but the next change was treacherous, like falling into the clouds, Yang Ning and Ximen Rin turned against each other, Jing Feiyu suddenly made a difficult attack to kill the lord and seize the throne, Shi Ming and Ximen Rin actually joined forces to sweep away the Jiangshang group, and Jinfan would be a pillar of optimus, and the two major forces in the world confronted head-on. And he could only watch everything happen. Even so, he knew that his mission was to take root in the Jinfan Society, and even if the Jinfan Society was scattered, he would desperately protect Yi Buping to escape before he got the next order. But just as he took the opportunity to show his loyalty, he heard an order that would never appear in the middle of the melee, and Jing Feiyu, who directly commanded him, asked him to assassinate Qingping.

This is a life-and-death task, even if he can succeed, then the angry Jinfan Congregation will cut him with a thousand knives, but he just hesitated, and then resolutely walked to the stern, and after experiencing Fang Cai's side by side, no one noticed that he would have a different heart at this time, so he approached Qingping without hindrance, but just a moment before he made a move, the invincible violent palm power destroyed all his hopes, and Yang Ning, who suddenly appeared, gave him a palm for no reason, if it wasn't for Qingping's drink, I was afraid that the second palm would crush his head。 Even so, He Yunxiu still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he has not had a chance to make a move, so it is still possible for him to redeem Yi Buping's trust, and he can even accuse Yang Ning of doing it indiscriminately, after all, this son of Zijing, who is the future Demon Emperor, is not a person who plans to act later, and there are still many opportunities to argue. But unexpectedly, the other congregations of the Jinfan Society did not hesitate to obey Qingping's order and temporarily imprisoned him, and then Qingping disguised himself to be assassinated, luring Jing Feiyu and Juzhong to attack, and then Qingping actually commanded everyone to line up the Seven Evil Fish Dragon Formation and defeated the coalition army. It was only at this moment that He Yunxiu realized that he had lost his only chance to escape.

Jing Fei Yu and Ju Zhong's responses confirmed the possibility of him tattooing Qingping, which is already conclusive evidence of his rebellion among the Shui Kou who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. What's more, Qingping will actually be in the Seven Fish and Dragon Formation, so the relationship between her and Jinfan Club is naturally clear at a glance, even if she is really wronged, unless Yi Buping wants to turn against the daughter of the old master, otherwise she will definitely die. So without any inquiry, He Yunxiu was thrown into the bilge of the water prison by his former companions without mercy.

Until this moment, He Yunxiu still couldn't understand why he had fallen to this point, he was able to support himself under serious injuries, and it was also this unwillingness, he didn't want to believe that he had failed so inexplicably, if he assassinated Qingping, then even if he died, it would only be to seek benevolence, but if he died like this, he really couldn't turn a blind eye. His hands gradually lost sensation, but the pain between his lungs became more and more intense, He Yunxiu finally had the thought of death in his heart, he understood that if this continued, he might start to beg for mercy when his will collapsed, and began to say all the secrets in exchange for a chance to survive, but that kind of thing must not happen, and the only way is to end his life first. Suddenly let go of his hands, let his body sink into the sewage that exuded the smell of decay, he even had the power to kill himself at this moment, the only way was to drown, but the mouth and nose just sank into the water, the instinct of the body made him start to hold his breath, several struggles, although he was choked half dead by dirty water, but still not dead, He Yunxiu's heart was ruthless, and he was about to hit the bulkhead headlong, even if he didn't die, he would pass out, so as not to beg for death, but there was a sound of the hatch opening in his ears, and then the light penetrated through the open hatch, shining on his eyes, making him feel a tingling pain, and couldn't help but close his eyes tightly。

After He Yunxiu gradually adapted to the light, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the hatch, only to see three people standing at the door, two people on the left and right, all of whom were familiar faces, which was to which the Jinfan Club belonged, and in the middle was a handsome young man, obviously a fat black robe covered him, which made him more and more thin and thin, under the bright and flickering light, his cold and upright figure was like a lonely peak into the clouds, even in such a dark place, it did not detract from half of his bearing.

Looking condescendingly at the simple face full of confusion, if he hadn't been completely sure, Yang Ning would even think that he had wronged him, but thinking that Yi Buping had told him categorically before, this person was indeed a spy, coupled with his sensitive intuition, Yang Ning still didn't hesitate at all, glanced at He Yunxiu lightly, and said coldly: "Bring him up." Then he turned and walked out.

Walking into the adjacent cabin, it was a dark cabin that did not see the light of day, in addition to the tables and chairs, there were also some simple torture instruments hanging on the bulkhead, Yang Ning did not sit down, just stood with his hands in his hands, quietly looked at He Yunxiu who was dragged in by the two fierce water coars, and with a wave of his hand, the two water cowards bowed and withdrew, leaving only He Yunxiu who collapsed to the ground. Yang Ning walked in front of He Yunxiu and looked down, He Yunxiu had also regained his usual calm at this time, raised his head, and deliberately leaked unwilling to be aggrieved in his eyes.

Yang Ning smiled coldly, and slapped a palm on He Yunxiu's body, He Yunxiu only felt that the qi and blood of all the meridians were reversed instantly, and the breath between the lungs and intestines was even more tumbling, and in an instant, the intense pain swept through the body, coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, and couldn't help curling up, enduring the boundless pain, even with his stubbornness, he couldn't help screaming, of course, this is also his intention, now this situation, blindly holding on is not the best way to deal with it, after a while, he began to feel the rejuvenation of the hundred pulses, the qi and blood returned to the meridians, and the originally heavy internal injuries actually began to improve, and doubts arose in his heart, He Yunxiu raised his head, but at a glance saw Yang Ning's deep cold, the phoenix eyes that looked at the crowd, what made He Yunxiu's heart move even more was Yang Ning's expression, there was no bloodthirsty cruel killing, and there was no ruthlessness of ignoring life, Yang Ning at this moment is not like an unruly demon emperor, but a graceful and calm prince. Even Yang Ning himself never realized that in the face of Youji's belonging, he would always unconsciously show his noble demeanor as a prince. In the past years in Luoyang's Qifeng Palace, even if the Lord of Huofeng was very cold to him, he never allowed anyone to despise his identity, from beginning to end, he was the Nine Emperor Princes, and no one had any bad manners towards him, but the warmth he hoped for was rarely obtained.

Without waiting for He Yunxiu to speak, Yang Ning had already said in a commanding tone: "When you see Ximen Rin after you go back, tell him that there is nothing to say between me and him, and the next time we meet, I want him to be careful of his life, and one more thing, you tell Luo Chengyu that Sister Luqi is a guest at his place, if he has the slightest neglect, I will never let him go, and I want him to remember that if it weren't for my subordinates' mercy, he would have already turned his bones into ashes." ”

He Yunxiu frowned slightly, and was about to confess, but he had already seen the murderous intent in Yang Ning's eyes, and suddenly understood, if he didn't admit it, he was afraid that he would die at the hands of this person immediately, and his heart turned a thousand times, He Yunxiu said vaguely: "If the villain has a chance, he will definitely tell the words of Prince Zijing and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World." Yang Ning nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and pushed the door out, until his back disappeared, He Wenxiu felt that the cold killing intent that had been enveloping him had finally disappeared, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, it was already dawn, and thousands of rays of sunlight passed through the layers of clouds, dyeing the water of the Qianli River with the color of morning light, He Yunxiu tried hard to breathe a few breaths of fresh and cold air, and said: "I want to meet the big boss, whether it is expulsion or death, I must give the younger brother a clear understanding." A water guy smiled coldly, the knife-like outline revealed a little hideous, and said Sen Ran: "Don't be delusional, the boss has long known that you have ill intentions, and you want to try your best to inquire about the formation of the Seven Evil Fish and Dragon Formation, the boss has already found out, do you think we are all idiots?" Except for the brothers of life and death who were taken in by the old lord back then, outsiders are trying their best, and it is impossible to gain the trust of our brothers in three or five years, why do you think the boss believes you, a milky hairy boy, if you don't know that your kid has a ghost, how can such an important thing take you, I just don't want you to leak the news, if it weren't for the second miss and Zijing Gongzi to ask you to pass the word, Lao Tzu will let you feed the fish today. After that, the two water cowards didn't wait for him to defend, and threw him off the boat, until the moment he didn't enter the river, He Yunxiu couldn't believe that he was really defeated.

After solving He Yunxiu's matter, Yang Ning walked to the door of a cabin located in the corner of the cabin, pushed open the hatch, and saw Qingping sleeping soundly on the couch at a glance. After dusk yesterday, the two went to the cabin to continue to talk about the things after the separation, but after many days of worry and daytime suffering, Qingping was already exhausted, but because of the ecstasy of reuniting with Yang Ning, she was not tired, but when she arrived in the cabin, she was already drowsy before she could say a few words, and it didn't take long for her to fall unconscious. Yang Ning was reluctant to leave, so he breathed in the corner of the cabin to recuperate, until Fang Cai Yibuping asked people to ask him to deal with He Yunxiu's matter, he left for a while, and as soon as he left here, he felt empty in his heart, as if his soul was not leaving, until he hurried back to the cabin and saw Qingping's sleeping face again, he realized the peace of mind, looking at this woman who did not hesitate to be born and die for herself, Yang Ning only felt infinite joy in his heart.

Perhaps feeling Yang Ning's scorching gaze, Qingping slowly opened her eyes, and saw Yang Ning's cold and clear phoenix eyes revealing a blazing look, she couldn't help but smile, the elegant and pretty flowers became more and more radiant, stretched out her hands, and held Yang Ning's somewhat cold hands tightly, Qingping said in a low voice: "Zijing, with me, no longer separated, okay." His body trembled slightly, and Yang Ning only felt a burst of ecstasy sweeping over his limbs, and he couldn't speak, only remembering to nod his head fiercely. In the haze, I heard Qingping say in a firm voice: "Zijing, don't worry, even if everyone wants to be your enemy, I will not abandon you, the sea and the sky, where is not a residence, or the Central Plains can not be accommodated, or sail on the sea, or go to the west of the desert north, with me to help you, I will never let anyone bully you." ”
