November 23.

There are a few lonely houses on the top of a deserted hill in Mt. Akichi, the houses are not kissed or painted, they are simple and clean, and in front of the house is an open space, and there is a stone bed in the clearing, and not far to the left of the stone bed is a stone table, and around the stone table are placed four or five stone benches.

A hundred steps before the clearing is a lake, the lake is so large that you can't see the other side at a glance, the lake is very clear, clear and clear, clear and clean, clean and quiet, like a pool of autumn water (uh...... Well, it's autumn water). The surface of the lake is calm and silent, and the water is not rippling, and if you look closely, the clear surface of the lake is covered with a layer of transparent ice as thin as cicada wings.

There was a protruding stone by the lake, and most of the stone was volleyed, and it could fall into the lake at any time, but there was a man standing on the stone, a man in black with a square face.

"This is Akichi?" the man in black asked suddenly, as if talking to himself.

"Yes, this is the autumn pool that made a generation of beauties Xiao Junyao linger, and it is also the place where the God of Wealth settled down to heal his wounds. A middle-aged man came from the side and exclaimed.

This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, looks honest and honest, quite pleasing to the eye, (the more the author looks at it, the more familiar he becomes, and suddenly remembers, this person) is the leader of the 'Yang Dao Alliance' Shao Mingqian.

"I heard that the autumn pond does not freeze all year round, and the more winter the lake, the more tranquil and clear it becomes. "Humanity in black.

Shao Mingqian said: "Although the autumn pond is on the top of the mountain terrain is special, the sun is sheltered from the wind, the day is quite warm, the lake at night is not too cold because of the residual temperature of the day, it is said that it never freezes when the weather is warm in the past, and when I come, it will occasionally freeze, and it has frozen every year in recent years." ”

The man in black said, "Oh? Looks like I should have come a few years earlier." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "There is no ice and there is no ice clear, and there is a frozen scenery, but it is difficult to distinguish between them, but it is a pity that it has been three or four years since the death of the 'God of Wealth', and the fish in the autumn pond have never been able to regenerate fish, even if the fish fry that have been artificially sprinkled in have died within a few days, and some aquatic plants in the lake have all died." ”

The man in black turned around and said, "The domineering power of the 'Thor' Cold Thunder is beyond the reach of any living being, and I still can't believe that the God of Wealth can survive for two years under this kind of torment. According to the evaluation of the 'dragon god' to the 'thunder god', this lake water has not been able to melt for thirty or fifty years, and now the scene is already an accident, and it is not unrelated to the freezing of the 'autumn pond', and the other lakes on the 'autumn pond mountain' may not freeze so early. ”

Shao Mingqian smiled, did not make an excuse, and changed the topic: "This time, plus the last time and twice Mengmo Erxia helped, the 'Yang Dao Alliance' is grateful. "It turned out that the man in black was Mo Youfan.

Mo Youfan said: "I came here to help, but unfortunately Wu Jingguo suspected that you and I were joining forces before, and the last time I had to deal with the 'Storm Thunder', they confirmed this conjecture." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "This is not the intention of your gang, Mo Erxia can send Shuliang to the 'Yang Dao Alliance' twice, it is already a great kindness to me, as for the calculation between you and me, Wu Jingguo is not a stupid person, and it is normal to hide it." ”

Mo Youfan said: "Save polite words, what does the master of the Shao League plan to do with the two soldiers?"

Shao Mingqian said: "Since there is a word in advance, it is time to fulfill the promise, and I am still not used to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." ”

Mo Youfan said: "It's okay, if it weren't for Bing Qiyin's familiarity with Zuo Huo's methods this time, you wouldn't have won so easily." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "Yes, it's a pity that the 'Yang Dao Alliance' has been infiltrated so badly, there are endless traitors in the gang, and the secrets of the gang will leak if you are not careful." ”

Mo Youfan said: "What people do has their own 'heavenly ghosts' to remember, and they can't hide for a while, not to mention that throughout the ages, which country has no traitors, which family has no traitors, if it is not for the work of traitors, how can 'Beichuan' fall? ”

Shao Mingqian said: "What Mo Erxia said is true. ”

Mo Youfan walked down the stone and said: "The situation in the world has changed unpredictably in the past few years, the situation has changed three emperors in six or seven years, and the current emperor is the fourth to take over, the court has almost changed from top to bottom, the rise of the 'Six Dragons Gang' on the rivers and lakes, the decline of the 'Dayu Heavenly City', the 'Juntian Jiuding', the 'Nine Hidden Mansions' and so on, the 'Blackwater Seven Alliances' from their heyday to their destruction, and the birth of your 'Yangdao Alliance' out of thin air, what do you think of these Shao League masters?"

Shao Mingqian said: "Frequent changes of commanders, whether in the military or in the political circles, is a taboo, the so-called 'once a son of heaven and a courtier' The new son of heaven always has to use new henchmen to create a new atmosphere, which is a good thing, but if the replacement is too frequent, all forces will be busy fighting, busy with self-preservation, and I am afraid that few people are willing to do things that are truly beneficial to the country and the people, and no one has time to do it, and no one will do it." In the martial arts, you sing and I appear, and the loss of the real bull's ear is also a loss for the court, and now it depends on how the emperor cleans up the mess, if the 'dragon god' is willing to enter the court to help the 'six dragon gang' talents, it will be much easier to reverse the decline of the court with deep wealth. ”

Mo Youfan said: "Lord Shao is laughing. The 'Dragon God' has changed too much in the past two years, and I am not sure whether I want to, and we are even more uncertain whether the emperor dares to take this risk, not to mention that even if the 'Dragon God' and the emperor are willing, this move will violate the interests of too many people. Take myself as an example, my income in the 'Six Dragons Gang' is about the same as that of the first-rank officials in the imperial court, and every year the 'Dragon God' has to take out half of the surplus to distribute to the brothers and the hall masters, and I can get about a few thousand taels a year, which is several times higher than the first-rank official's salary, but there are only a few first-rank officials in the imperial court, how can I get my turn? If I enter the court as an official except for corruption, it is impossible to have a salary as high as Xu Gao, even if I don't care, tens of thousands of brothers in the gang may be a county commander. Petty officials such as the Lord Bo can't take their turn, and everyone is old and young, so how can it not matter in front of real money. ”

Shao Mingqian said: "Alas, money is always one of the saddest passes since ancient times, if it is a bumper harvest year, the people of the court have no worries about living and working in peace and contentment, and life is also smooth, once the war is three meals and food and clothing is also rare." ”

Mo Youfan said: "Lord Shao's words coincide with my Mo family, I hope the world is peaceful and there will never be a war, but unfortunately some people will never listen." ”

Shao Mingqian said with a smile: "The 'Dragon God' has listened to it, and Mo Erxia is very good. ”

Mo Youfan smiled and said: "Xu is a little older, the 'Dragon God' now doesn't want his brothers to work hard, and he is not willing to use force for anything but to negotiate peace, compared to him, I seem a little tough." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "'The white blade is clear, and the mean is rare', I think Mo Erxia's toughness is just right." ”

Mo Youfan smiled 'haha', the two walked side by side towards the house, and when they walked to the front of the house, Shao Mingqian raised his hand and knocked on the door, the door opened with a 'squeak', and the door was opened by a plump and somewhat bewitching beauty.

The beautiful woman saw that it was Mo Youfan and Shao Mingqian, and let the two into the house, and said with a charming smile: "It's rare that Master Shao and Mo Erxia are here in person today, is this to let our husband and wife go, or do you want to take our husband and wife to their lives?"

Shao Mingqian hugged his fists and said: "With the help of the two gang leaders of Bingjia, our gang has won a complete victory. It turned out that this beautiful woman was Party A, and her injuries had healed from her appearance.

Bing Qiyin, who was sitting on the bed, heard this: "Is this true to Lord Shao?" He still didn't get well after his hamstring was reconnected, and although he could walk, he was still lame.

Shao Mingqian said: "Of course, after today, I will explain this matter to the brothers in the gang, and the 'Raising Sword Alliance' will not seek revenge against the two of you again, but it will be strange if the two of you hurt my brothers of the 'Raising Knife Alliance' again." ”

Bing Qiyin said, "Okay, when can we leave?"

Shao Mingqian said: "Later, Mo Erxia's people will prepare a carriage to send the two of them down the mountain, if the two of them are in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to want to leave now." ”

Bing Qiyin said: "My husband and wife are arranged by the Lord of the Shao League and Mo Erxia. ”

After finishing speaking, Shao Mingqian and Mo Youfan said goodbye and left the house, and there were two people standing outside the house, one was Yifeng and the other was Liang Xie.

"Mo Er's shopkeeper, senior brother. ”

"Alliance leader, Mo Er's shopkeeper. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Hmm. ”

Shao Mingqian and Mo Youfan nodded and responded one after another.

"Alliance leader, soldier gang leader, they ......" Yifeng stopped halfway through his question, peeking at Shao Mingqian's expression.

Shao Mingqian smiled and asked instead of answering, "How old are you this year?"

Yifeng was stunned, paused and replied, "Twenty-five years old." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "The eldest disciple of Gan Banbu is really young. ”

Yifeng said: "The master accepts apprentices and asks to practice 'Tongzigong', and my second junior brother and I have worshiped the master as our teacher since childhood, and we are the earliest to get started, but many of the other uncle's disciples are older than us. ”

Shao Mingqian smiled and suddenly poked Yifeng's shoulder with a palm knife, Yifeng didn't have time to think about the shrinkage of his shoulder, cut Shao Mingqian's wrist with both palms, cut Shao Mingqian's arm with one palm, Shao Mingqian's elbow sank and his wrist flipped, and the palm edge quickly and incoherently cut to Yifeng's vein, Yifeng's arm shrunk to support Shao Mingqian's palm edge with his palm, and the other hand pressed weakly on the crook of Shao Mingqian's arm. After fighting two moves, Yifeng realized the faux pas, hurriedly retreated, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Yifeng is reckless, please forgive the alliance leader." ”

Shao Mingqian smiled and withdrew his arm and said, "It is worthy of being a half-step disciple, young and promising." There are a lot of good girls in the gang 'Lutang', are there any eye-catching? I'll help you go to matchmaking. ”

Yifeng's face turned red, and Mo Youfan patted Yifeng's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, what your alliance leader said will not be uncounted." ”

Yifeng's expression became embarrassed again.

Shao Mingqian made a rare joke, and when he saw that Yifeng was embarrassed, he didn't care about himself, so he turned to Liang Xie and said: "The gang is going to celebrate this big victory today, and you and Yifeng will take someone to find it in a while." ”

"Yes. Liang Xie answered, Shao Mingqian settled in Liang Xie's ear for two more words, Liang Xie nodded, Shao Mingqian didn't say much after settling down and left with Mo Youfan. Liang Xie and Yi Feng watched the two leave, but when they turned around, they saw Party A standing outside the door looking at the two of them with a smile, obviously she listened to what she said.

Yifeng hugged her fist at Party A and turned back to the next room, but she smiled even more charmingly.

"I have something to ask the soldier to help me, I wonder if the soldier is willing?" Liang Xie asked loudly through the door.

"What's the busy?" said Bing Qiyin.
