In the tenth year of the Xiyuan Dynasty, during the Qingming Dynasty, Jinling City.

Tianxianglou is the largest restaurant in Jinling City, located in the most prosperous new street in the city, with an excellent geographical location.

Kaitai seven years, Tianxiang Lou suffered an accident, the whole building was split into two sections by a sword, and later rebuilt, the boss actually retained the place where the building was broken that year, for the merchants to visit, and set up a storyteller to tell the story of the rivers and lakes, the business is better than in the past. Merchants from the south to the north like to settle here, and there is a lot of traffic in front of the door every day, and there is an endless stream of guests.

In recent days, there have been more and more heroes in Jinling City, and these people have been generous and sparing money, which has really made the shopkeeper happy for a long time. On this day, several swordsmen gathered around a table, talking about a major event on the rivers and lakes, the battle between Huang Cheng, the "First Sword of the Central Plains" known as the first master of the Central Plains, and Shen Luoyan of the Xiliang Sword Pavilion.

A man with a Hebei accent and a business trip dress asked, "This hero, I just listened to the battle between the Central Plains First Sword and the Xiliang Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master that the two of you discussed, I don't know who has the bigger victory?"

The swordsman from the rivers and lakes who was just talking in the sea and sky glanced back at the man and said, "This brother is not from the rivers and lakes, right?"

The man smiled, "Under the surname Ma, Cangzhou Mansion came here to do the medicinal herb business, and it happened to encounter a rare event in Jinling martial arts, on a whim, I want to inquire with a few people, and in the future, I will also go to the handicap opened by Mingyue Gambling House to gamble a little, and please do not hesitate to tell him." After that, the man ordered the men to serve three or four dishes, and ten catties of good wine.

Seeing this person's bold move, several Jianghu people even gave up a vacant seat, pointed to a young man and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, you are asking the right person." This brother of mine is the collection of Xiaosheng Jianghu, and this battle between the Central Plains and Xiliang was planned and reported by him. ”

The man looked proud, said "Don't dare to be", tapped his fingers on the table, and said: "Now on the rivers and lakes, there are five masters. There is Huyan invincible in the north, there are empty Taoists in Longhu Mountain in the south, Langya Zhong Luming in the east, and Shen Luoyan in the sword pavilion in the west. ”

Someone interjected and asked, "That martial arts alliance leader Li Mingxiu, who is strong in martial arts, how can he not be included in one of the five uniques?" The man smiled, "Although Li Mingxiu is the leader of the alliance, do you know how she got her position as the leader of the alliance?"

"Didn't you win it in the martial arts conference?"

The man said disdainfully, "This martial arts alliance leader was not selected by the martial arts conference well, but what is the means to get it......?"

Someone next to him showed a knowing smile, "The leader of the Li League has done a good job, and at last year's martial arts conference, he successfully slept with the heads of various factions before becoming the leader of the alliance, but it's a pity that I don't have a vote in my hand! ”

The man surnamed Ma was puzzled, and was about to ask again, but he heard another person, "Brother Lu, there are many people here, so it's better to say less." ”

That Xiaosheng Jianghu Caifeng said, "I haven't seen the invincible Huyan in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and I haven't seen the little boy of Langya Pavilion and the empty Taoist of Longhu Mountain." I don't know much about the level of martial arts of the three of them. As for Shen Luoyan and Huang Cheng, ......"

"Xiang Caifeng must have seen two of them?"

The man said, "I haven't seen it either." The master of the Shen Pavilion has practiced the ninth level of the Xuanyuan Sword Technique, and the realm of martial arts has risen greatly, beyond the three realms, and has directly caught up with the old Pavilion Master Zhao Fuyi, who is known as the first person in Xiliang. The Central Plains Sword is said to have learned the secret palace mastery, and has challenged the masters of various factions for ten years, and has not tasted defeat. ”

"So it's not certain who loses and who wins?"

The man said, "Although the two of them have not fought directly, they have both fought with the Shaolin Sect Master Xuankong, and the Master Xuankong has persisted in seventeen moves under the hands of the Lord of the Shen Pavilion. As for the Central Plains Yijian...... "The man deliberately sold a pass and kept silent. Everyone was aroused by his interest and urged again and again, but the man laughed and did not speak, and someone hurriedly shouted wine and food and sent it to him.

He took a sip of wine, stretched out a finger and said, "It's just one trick!"

Everyone gasped, but they all suddenly, so to speak, this time the two fought, and the victory of the Central Plains Sword was greater. At this time, he heard a crisp voice and said unhappily, "Xuanyuan Sword Technique, is it as bad as you say?"

Everyone looked, but saw that there were two little babies near the window, a man and a woman, ordering a table of dishes, and were feasting. These two babies are seven or eight years old, they are made of jade flour and gorgeous clothes, which is really likable, but I don't know whose children secretly ran out with adults on their backs. It was the boy who spoke just now, holding a chicken leg in his hand, with an unconvinced look on his face.

The man was robbed of his white, and suddenly his face was gloomy, and he said, "What do you children know?" ”

The girl ignored it and said to the boy: "Little Liuzi, let's make an appointment with the little man surnamed Su to duel here, he won't dare to come, right? He stole the money bag that my mother sewed for me with her own hands, it's hateful to think about, I have to teach him a lesson this time! Hey, did you listen to me!"

Xiao Liuzi said, "Although I don't know what the Xiliang Pavilion Master is, but he said that my Xuanyuan Sword Technique is not good, I have an opinion." The girl said, "This is easy to do!" After that, she jumped down from the stool, pointed to the table, and said, "Which of you said bad things about the Xuanyuan Sword Technique?"

Seeing that this little girl was commanding, the swordsmen laughed, and said, "Little doll, what a big breath, when our five ghosts in Jiangnan were rampant in the martial arts, you hadn't been born yet!"

The five ghosts in Jiangnan are extremely ruthless characters on the underworld in recent years, namely big-headed ghosts, unlucky ghosts, happy ghosts, hanged ghosts, and faceless ghosts. These five wicked people worshipped their hands and engaged in the trade of abducting and selling women and children, and it was the fourth hanged ghost who spoke.

Seeing that these two little babies had provoked such a powerful character, the guests couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat.

The girl said, "I haven't heard of the five ghosts in Jiangnan, but I heard that the turtles in Jiangnan taste good!" Seeing that these two little babies looked extraordinary, the hanged ghost exchanged glances with several other people, and made up his mind to abduct and sell the two of them, so he said: "Didn't your adults teach you what politeness is?"

The child is naïve, how could he think about it so much, and said: "I made an appointment with Xiaoliuzi to compete here, and I ran out secretly." ”

The hanged ghost nodded, "The little baby is out of the house, and he doesn't know how to be polite, believe it or not, I got you two to be slaves in the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"

The girl's feet shook and she dodged lightly. Seeing that he hadn't been caught, the hanged ghost was angry, and he couldn't help but use his true anger, and used his small grappling hand to buckle the girl's wrist. I saw that the girl did not retreat but advanced, and her steps were light, and she escaped the hanging ghost.

"Smack!"

The hanged ghost was slapped in the face, his face turned red in an instant, and five small handprints were clearly visible. The hanged ghost was furious, secretly thinking that I was rampant in Jiangnan, and I couldn't handle you little baby, so I picked up my true anger, brought the wind in my hand, and called the girl.

Everyone only thought that the little girl's palm was a fluke, and they couldn't help but worry about her, but they saw that the little girl had no fear on her face, stepped on strange steps, and waved her palm.

"Bang Bang!"

The hanged ghost was slapped three times in a row, and his face was blue and red. Being beaten on the face is a trivial matter, but face is a major matter, if it spreads, the five ghosts in Jiangnan can't help a little girl in the inn, how can this face exist?

At this time, the little boy clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Sister Qin, your slap magic skills are becoming more and more perfect!" Seeing this, the second unlucky ghost said to the boy: "Boy, let me play two tricks with you!"

The boy screamed in fright, but he pulled out a small short sword in his hand and met it.

When everyone saw that the unlucky ghost had moved, they were disdainful in their hearts, and they were secretly worried about the boy, but they only listened to the jingle bell, and the little boy fought with the unlucky ghost.

There is no shortage of people who know the goods in the field, although this little baby's internal strength is average, but it is a first-class wonderful swordsmanship, and it is not inferior at all. But I don't know whose children these two little babies are, they are young, and they can fight with the five ghosts of Jiangnan.

Seeing this, the rest of the people all pulled out their ghost-headed knives and besieged the two. These two people are children after all, and after a long time, their physical strength gradually wears out.

I only heard the humanity outside, "Bullying the small with the more, bullying the small with the big, relying on the strong to bully the weak, it's not a hero's doing!" But I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy dressed as Hanako rushing in, popping out a few stones in his hand, hitting the knees of the hanged ghost and the unlucky ghost.

The girl said, "Little Hanako, do you really dare to come to the appointment?"

The young man was silent, reached out and took a chicken leg from the table, and said while gnawing, "Manly man, it is difficult to chase after a horse, if I don't come, even if you agree, you have to ask the chicken leg on this table if you agree?"

Everyone saw that the young man was serious and full of nonsense, and they couldn't help but laugh.

The big-headed ghost saw that the young man had a good body, and made a secret weapon in his hand, kept a heart, and said, "Boy, report your name!" The young man laughed, "The young master doesn't change his name or change his surname, Su Qin is also!"

The big-headed ghost pondered for a long time, but he hadn't heard of this person, and asked tentatively, "Your martial arts, but it's from the Taishan faction?" Su Qin shook his head, "I haven't heard of any Taishan faction!" The big-headed ghost said, "Do you know that today you took care of this idle matter and stabbed the big Lou Zi?" Su Qin raised his head and said, "These two people are my friends, and they stick knives in the ribs for their friends, and they will not give up!"

When the little girl heard this, she said, "Xiao Huazi, I will say this to you today, and I won't care about you for stealing my money bag." ”

The big-headed ghost thought that these three little babies let the five ghosts throw them in their faces today, and they moved to kill them, so they made a look, and the five of them took out the ghost head knife and cut it with their heads and faces. When everyone saw this, they couldn't bear it, but they didn't dare to dissuade them because of the murderous name of the five ghosts.

But when he saw these five people and five knives, he raised them, but he couldn't fall down. After a closer look, I found that these five ghosts had been pointed at by someone.

A woman walked down from the second floor and came to the five ghosts. The five ghosts only felt that this woman exuded coercion, forcing the five of them out of breath, and shouted: "Grandma spare your life!" The woman said coldly, "This girl is in a good mood today, I don't want to kill you, why don't you get out of here!"

The five ghosts couldn't move.

"If you don't leave, I'm going to take your lives!"

The big-headed ghost cried and said with a sad face, "Grandma, our acupoint was ordered by you!"

The woman frowned, no longer paying attention, but came to the three little babies, "Xuanyuan Sword Technique is not heavy, Fang Cai's move is blazing in the sky, if you don't stick to the sword move and attack his Lingquan Acupoint, he will definitely lose in your hands." ”

The little boy asked, "How do you know that our Liu family is unique?"

The woman was stunned and said disdainfully: "You go back and ask your father, when did the Xuanyuan Sword Technique become your Liu family?"

"You know my dad?"

The woman didn't answer, stared at the little girl, looked at it for a long time, and asked, "What's your name?" Seeing that this woman was handsome, the little girl felt close, and said sweetly, "My surname is Qin, and my father said that I was born in autumn, so he named me Qin Zhiqiu." ”

When the woman heard this, she said coldly: "Qin Zhiqiu, your father gave you this name, I'm afraid it's not for this reason!" Turning her head, she saw the young man named Su Qin looking at her chest with a thief's eyes, and she was displeased, "Look at it!"

Su Qin swallowed his saliva and said with a hippie smile: "I'm thinking, it's good to marry a wife in the future, and be as beautiful as my sister, but don't be as good as you in martial arts!"

The woman saw that there was a faint shadow of someone between the corners of the young man's eyebrows, and couldn't help but sneer, "Why?" Su Qin said, "The martial arts are too high, I can't beat her!" The woman said, "Then if I take you as an apprentice and teach you martial arts?" Su Qin smiled and said, "If I can have a beautiful woman like you as a master, even if I don't learn martial arts, I am willing!"

The woman asked, "Then would you like to go to Xiliang with me?"

Su Qin shouted, "Don't say go to Xiliang, even go to Xitian, I'm willing!" The woman tapped on the top of his head and said "poor mouth", but Su Qin's heart blossomed.

At this time, there was a whistling sound in the distance, and Qin Zhiqiu said, "Oh no, my father has found it!"

When the woman heard this, she said to Su Qin, "Then let's go!" Su Qin said, "I'll say goodbye to my two friends first." But the woman did not allow him to speak, and picked it up like a chicken, and a few ups and downs, and disappeared.

In a moment, in front of Tianxiang Building, two men came, it was Qin Sanguan and Liu Qingfeng.

Seeing this, Qin Zhiqiu immediately became extremely well-behaved, and Jiao Didi shouted, "Daddy!" Qin Sanguan was originally anxious, but after seeing his daughter, his anger suddenly disappeared. It was Liu Qingfeng, pointing at his son and saying, "Liu Shuhao, you little rabbit cub, you actually ran out secretly with your sister, go back and see how I clean you up!"

Liu Shuhao was not afraid, and said: "Liu Qingfeng, you said that I am a little rabbit cub, so what are you?" Liu Qingfeng's nose was smoky, and he was about to beat him with a slap, but he saw Liu Shuhao hiding behind Qin Sanguan and said, "Uncle Qin, save me!"

Qin Sanguan said with a smile, "I can't imagine that the big boss of the Central Plains Dart Bureau can't even discipline his own son!"

Liu Qingfeng scolded, "This little rabbit cub, bumping into me all day long, it's all used to it!" But ......" Liu Qingfeng looked into the distance with some understanding, "Why do I think that woman just now is so familiar, you kid honestly confessed, you keep saying that you came to Jiangnan to do business, did you sneak out to do some unsightly things?"

Qin Sanguan couldn't help but be angry.

Liu Qingfeng said proudly, "I know!"

Qin Zhiqiu pointed to the five ghosts in the south of the Jiangnan in Tianxiang Building, "Daddy, they bullied me and said that they would abduct me to the Northern Zhou." Qin Sanguan's face sank, and he looked at the five ghosts, "But is there such a thing?"

The five ghosts were intimidated by the woman, and they were already angry, saying, "These two little babies are disrespectful, I wanted to punish them slightly, since you are their parents, in this way, kneel down and kowtow three times to our brother to admit their mistakes, and I will spare you." Otherwise...... Hmph"

Liu Qingfeng was surprised, "Otherwise, what?"

The five ghosts said, "Our brother is also a well-known figure in Jiangnan Wulin, and he also has a lifelong friendship with the leader of the Zhuhua Gang, otherwise, a few of you don't want to get out of Jinling City alive!"

Qin Sanguan laughed, "I haven't heard this kind of threatening words since I came to Murong Baiyun ten years ago!"

The five ghosts said, "What kind of thing is Murong Baiyun?"

Liu Qingfeng said, "What do you have to talk about with a group of vicious dogs, just slaughter it!"

Qin Sanguan was reluctant to negotiate with a few people, and he didn't owe half a sentence, so he hugged Qin Zhiqiu, put it on top of his head, and said, "Let's go!" Liu Qingfeng kicked Liu Shuhao, "Look at it, don't go quickly!"

Everyone looked at the four of them and walked away, and the person from Xiaosheng Jianghu said to the five ghosts, "Murong Baiyun, ten years ago, he was the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. This person, if you guessed correctly, it should be Qin Sanguan!"

The big-headed ghost said, "What Qin Sanguan, Qin Wuguan, I haven't heard of it! Old Five, you go and hang them, and the others call someone to me." ”

......

South of the city.

Murong Villa, the first sect in the world that was flourishing at that time, was reduced to ashes in a fire ten years ago, and it is said that the fire burned for three days and three nights, but a peach forest on the back mountain was preserved, becoming a scenery of Jinling City.

In March, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, which is a good season for the people of Jinling City to visit in spring. The back mountain of Murong Villa is no longer private property. Tourists are endless, young couples murmur among the peach trees, and some old women pick peach blossoms, make peach blossom cakes, and sell them between the mountain roads.

"Dad, I want to eat peach blossom cake!" Qin Zhiqiu shouted.

"You've lost a few teeth this month, why do you still eat sweets?"

When the old woman saw that the trade was coming, she smiled and said, "Little doll, come on, I have the best peach blossom cake in Jinling City here." Back then, even the first beauty in the rivers and lakes was full of praise after eating it!"

When Qin Sanguan heard this, he couldn't help but stop, but his mind drifted into the distance.

"Dad, I want to be the first beauty in the rivers and lakes!"

Liu Shuhao said, "Sister Qin, you are already the number one beauty in the world!"

"Grandma, who is the first beauty in the rivers and lakes?"

The old woman said, "Don't hide it, this mountain was the back mountain of Murong Villa, the first sect in the rivers and lakes, and the first beauty in the rivers and lakes was the eldest lady of Murong Villa, Murong Qiushui, the eldest lady of Murong Villa, and this peach blossom cake was what she taught me to make." At that time, she was beautiful, and the people who came to Murong Villa every day to ask for relatives broke through the door. “

Liu Shuhao said, "You still don't want to be the number one beauty!"

"Why?"

"I'm afraid someone else has robbed you. ”

Qin Zhiqiu's face turned red, and he asked the old woman, "What about later?"

"One year, when Miss Murong celebrated her birthday, there was a descendant who didn't know what to do, so she stupidly carried a sword to propose marriage, broke into Murong Villa, and cut off all the peach blossoms in the mountain, which made the eldest lady really sad for a long time. ”

Qin Zhiqiu said, "That person is too bad. ”

When Liu Qingfeng heard this, he echoed again and again, "Yes, that person is simply hateful!"

Since then, the eldest lady has been depressed, as soon as she has leisure, she will plant peach trees on the back mountain, and within three years, there will be this mountain peach blossom. ”

Although Qin Zhiqiu was not very old and did not understand anything about love, he sympathized with Murong Qiushui in his heart, so he asked, "What about later?"

The old woman sighed, "It's dead!" and gestured halfway up the mountain, "and it's buried there." Hey, it's a red face!" Qin Zhiqiu heard this, and shook his head again and again, "How could she die, shouldn't she live happily with the prince?"

Liu Shuhao said, "Sister Qin, fairy tales are all lies!"

Qin Zhiqiu said, "Dad, the first beauty ended up so miserable, I don't deserve to be the first beauty in the world." ”

looked up at Qin Sanguan, but saw that Qin Sanguan was already in tears, "Dad, Dad, why are you crying?" Qin Sanguan breathed a sigh of relief, "The wind is strong, and the sand is blind." ”

Halfway up the mountain, under the peach tree, there is a lonely grave, there is no tombstone, it is the tomb of Murong Qiushui.

Qin Sanguan stood in front of the grave, but his mind drifted to thirteen years ago, when he was still a teenager with little to do, and at that time she was still a Persian Mingjiao with an indifferent face.

Thirteen years ago, it was under this peach tree that Qin Sanguan made an oath to Murong Qiushui.

Ten years ago, it was under this peach tree that Qin Sanguan buried his youth with his own hands.

Liu Qingfeng took out a bottle of wine and three cups from the basket, handed one to Qin Sanguan, held one cup in his hand, poured the third cup in front of the grave, and said, "Mingjiao, I still owe you a pot of wine." ”

Qin Sanguan was silent, and the two little babies saw the solemn atmosphere and consciously closed their mouths.

"Mingjiao, our brother has brought a child to see you!" Qin Sanguan said, "Knowing you is the greatest wealth in the first half of our lives." You take care of yourself over there, and in the future, when the children grow up and we are old, we will fight together in the next life!"

Liu Qingfeng drank all the wine and threw the cup on the ground, "Mingjiao, I and Sanguan have become married, your nephew and niece have also grown up, he has a good life, his two wives have a lot of money, he bought an island in the East China Sea, and lived a free life, but unfortunately my brother and I are still working hard in the Central Plains Dart Bureau, but now we are also the leader of the Dart Bureau." Now that the second master of the dart game is empty, the third view is always worried, I resolutely refuse to give it, that is what I left for you. In the next life, we will still be good brothers!"

Qin Sanguan and Liu Qingfeng sat on the ground, each taking a sip of wine, drinking it in a big gulp, the entrance of the spirits was extremely scorching, but it was extremely enjoyable.

Before they knew it was sunset, the four of them packed their things and prepared to go down the mountain. At this moment, a group of people from the rivers and lakes came to Hula under the mountain, holding swords in their hands, and the people who took the lead were the five ghosts of Jiangnan, and the big-headed ghost said: "Gang Master Kou, it's those two boys, the idea is piercing, the brothers went up together and slaughtered them!"

Liu Qingfeng glanced at Qin Sanguan, "What should I do?"

Qin Sanguan said, "Bright Dart!"

"I'm Wu Weiyang!"

Qin Zhiqiu and Liu Shuhao rode on the heads of Qin Sanguan and Liu Qingfeng, and Qin Zhiqiu shouted, "You want to fly!"

The two leaped into the air and Edgeworth left.

Before leaving Peach Mountain, Qin Sanguan glanced back, but saw that halfway up the mountainside, a peach blossom was quietly blooming.
