"But I also want to remind Brother Xie that the pursuit of martial arts, brave and diligent, but not like you, when you can't be defeated, you should know how to avoid the edge for the time being, I think you understand this truth, how to cross the threshold in your heart, but you still have to rely on yourself. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Ying said solemnly.

"That's what Miss Liu said. Xie Xun also had this idea in his heart.

"I don't know why Miss Liu came out at this time? ”

"Yes, at this time, the stars and the moon are shining, the frogs are chirping, and the breeze is blowing, isn't it a good time to relax and calm your mind. Liu Ying smiled.

"Brother Xie, if you don't walk with me, your mood will definitely be better. ”

The beautiful woman invited, how could Xie Xun refuse? Even if he was a little melancholy before, he had disappeared at this time.

The age difference between the two is not much, Liu Ying is slightly younger, and they are both from famous families and have extraordinary appearances, but they talk very happily.

The vastness of the Northwest Desert, the richness of the Jianghan Plain, and the different customs and habits of various places, Liu Ying traveled south and north, and saw a wide range of things.

Although Xie Xun rarely left Jiangling, Xie left a lot of notes on the rivers and lakes, he didn't like to read, only this story of the rivers and lakes, even if no one told it, he was willing to turn the book to read it himself, so he knew a lot.

The two of them walked along the river, and before they knew it, they were already on the willows.

Sending Liu Ying back to the hut, Xie Xun himself came out again and stretched his bones by the stream.

I found a big stone again, faced the water, turned my heart to the sky, and began to cultivate.

Since awakening, he has found that cultivation has completely replaced sleep, and the effect of restoring energy is better than sleeping.

Nothing happened overnight.

It seems that the Demon Sect masters brought back by Wang Yu shocked the ill-intentioned people lurking in the shadows, and Wang Mao's side was not attacked again, and the people of the Wang family and the government searched the Demon Sect station under the leadership of the Demon Sect captives captured alive.

It's a pity that the people of the Demon Sect have already gotten the news and moved overnight, leaving only an empty station.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, this is Xie Xun's twentieth birthday, if he hadn't met Li Yunmiao, he should have left home today and officially started his career.

Xie Xun went to Baixi to catch a few osmanthus fish, he had the trick to clear the water and the jade pendant in hand, and it was easy to catch fish and shrimp.

He didn't ask for anything else, as long as Wang Yun helped him make steamed osmanthus fish again.

It was a celebration of his twentieth birthday.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and during this time, Xie Xun has nothing to do, except for diligent cultivation, that is, to teach Tang Xuan to read with Liu Ying, or to watch Liu Ying teach Tang Xuan to read.

Everything is said to be relaxed, and the same is true for martial arts, of course, this is just his current situation.

According to what Li Yunmiao said, when he reaches the induction realm, the qi refiner has a sympathetic understanding of heaven and man, has a trace of understanding of the Tao, and his divine thoughts have skyrocketed, he can already refine qi all day without fatigue, Xie Xun cultivates under the stars and moon every night, and can recover his spirit, which is a bit similar to this situation.

Therefore, during this time, he became familiar with Liu Ying and Tang Xuan, especially Tang Xuan, who liked to stick to Xie Xun very much, probably because Liu Ying was a little serious about her, and Xie Xun was more doting on her, and often bought her some snacks and toys from small vendors passing by.

After this period of recuperation, Wang Mao's injuries were almost better, and a group of people planned to leave.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, although Wang Mao was still seriously injured, he was already able to sit in the carriage and leave, but no one attacked for several days, and it was quiet but not remote, which was quite suitable for recuperation, so Wang Mao and the others simply continued to stay here until now.

As the saying goes, one day is a teacher, a lifetime is a father, after apprenticeship, without the permission of the master, you can't even go home to visit your parents, the dignity of the teacher, you can see the general.

Of course, whether it is Confucianism or Taoism, or witch doctors and miscellaneous families, they attach great importance to filial piety, and those who are disloyal and unfilial will not like any of them, so generally speaking, the master will not deliberately make it difficult for those who have old parents at home.

Tang Xuan's parents are in the prime of life, and there is a younger brother at home, Liu Ying left this time, and planned to leave with her, Tang Ming naturally would not object, although he still loved Tang Xuan, but he still had some patriarchal thoughts.

Tang Ming asked Xie Xun to connect with the Li steward of the Xie family, Xie Xun is now leaving and going to Yangzhou, so he wants him to be together and end this matter together, Tang Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and he agreed.

When a group of people arrived in Yangzhou, they divided into two routes, Wang Mao and Song Gang and others went to the Wang family's courtyard, and the Liu Xu brothers and sisters had nothing to do, so they planned to follow Xie Xun to the dock to have a look.

The Xie family's business is also trade, unlike the Wang family, the Xie family does not produce by itself, and the scope of the business is only in the river basin.

The river basin, whether it is Bashu, Jianghan, or Jiangnan, is a densely populated and rich land, so although the Xie family is not as rich as the Wang family, it also makes a lot of profits.

Moreover, the children of the Xie family, there are many martial arts practitioners, and they are one of the four major forces in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, in order to avoid the scourge of the numerous bandits and bandits in the river basin, many small traders and hawkers hope to have a relationship with the Xie family and follow their fleet to act together.

In addition to the Xie family, another way is the Yunmengze Nujiao Gang.

The Yunmengze Nujiao Gang is the nominal leader of the One Hundred and Eight Water Villages above the river, known as the No. 1 gang in the underworld, and what they do is to turn over the river and the sea, and rob people and boats.

It's easy to want them not to offend, just pay a lot of money every year to buy roads, and if you pay this money, even if you are protected by the Nujiao Gang.

If you are robbed by other blind guys, you can still find them to find the field, of course, if you get the goods back, you still have to give them some hard money.

Therefore, as the two major forces above the river, the Nujiao Gang and the Xie family are also fighting openly and secretly, and they have to fight from time to time, which is also one of the reasons why most of the children of the Xie family are extraordinary in martial arts and heroic.

But whether it is the underworld or the white road, making money is always the first, so although the two fight, they will not do each other's merchant ships, so the river and waterway can always be kept smooth and become a golden trade route.

The two families have fought over the years, each has its own victory and defeat, and both have the common enemy of the Demon Sect, so after the battle, they generally set a document according to the victory or defeat, or pay compensation, or exchange hostages, or give up part of the benefits.

It was as if it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the princes were at war.

In fact, not only the Xie family and the Nujiao Gang, but also in other places, other fields, and other forces, whether black or white, also mostly adopt this method.

And in this way, it maintains the delicate balance between the rivers and lakes, the court, and all classes in Kyushu.
