As soon as I stepped into the Nangong Family's house, the Eagle Sword felt a rich and prosperous aura like flowers.
The corridor paved with stone in Qingtian, guardrails made of white marble, glazed tiles, bronze beast heads, and even more amazing is that even in the cold winter when everything withered, one or two unknown bright flowers often popped out of the snow on the roadside.
I think this kind of cross-flower must have been planted from the bitter and cold land, and the human and material resources spent in it are also shocking.
A fly flew out of the Nangong family, which may be made of gold. There are often similar laughs in the streets to describe the wealth of the Nangong family. Although it is inevitably exaggerated, it is enough to summarize the majestic atmosphere of the Nangong family's wealth that is comparable to the country.
At this point, even the imperial family is just like this
I always thought that the Wen family was rich, but compared with it, I immediately felt that it was several levels lower.
Eagle Knife looked around and couldn't help but gasp, feeling regretful: Mom, a big hot watermelon! If I had known that the Nangong family was so rich, when I was in Xiangyang that day, I should have used my brain more on the dead girl and scraped a few small money to spend... Fortunately, it was not too late to repair the sheep, and this trip to Huaiyin will be delayed for a few days. At that time, you must flatter and always get some benefits from the dead girl...
Not only is the bitch who is secretly envious of the Eight Cavalry, but also the guards of the Wen family's eight cavalry who came with the Eagle Sword were also shining for the luxurious Nangong family, with their eyes shining brightly.
Fortunately, the eight cavalry of the Wen family have always been well-trained. After a little amazement, they immediately returned to normal, so as not to be laughed at by the servants of the Nangong family who were leading the way forward.
The guards walked forward in a row, all of whom were silently squinted and silently looked at each other, but they didn't fall into the Wen family's style. However, they only regretted that the leader's Eagle Knife was not very good, so they often made some sounds of tsk tsk, just like a country boy who had entered the city for the first time. Although the servants of the Nangong family didn't say it, the contempt in their eyes could see even the blind man.
For a moment, the guards couldn't help but feel dull and wanted to drag the ignorant eagle sword into the corner to beat him up and vent their anger.
The smelly monkey... it was you really? Wen Shizhong sent you to my house for negotiations?
Just as the road was long and endless, a white shadow suddenly flew over and blocked everyone's way.
But I saw the person who was so pretty and unparalleled. Who wouldn’t be Nangong Jianxue?
When Eagle Dagger saw this, he rushed forward and grabbed Nangong Jianxue's little hand and said with a smile: Good sister, it's great that you are here. I'm worried that no one will introduce Ling Zun to me!
Although Nangong Jianxue knew that Eagle Sword was unruly, she didn't expect that when he met, he would pull his hand with a slutty hand. She quickly shook it away, blushed her face and whispered: Give me some respect, do you think it's still in Xiangyang...
Eagle knife laughed and said softly: I didn't do anything to you in Xiangyang... Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, girl, you are becoming more and more beautiful and charming.
The snow was clear, and Nangong Jianxue, wearing a purple snow-covered snow, looked even more pink and jade-carved. Compared with the heroic appearance in the past, she had another charming and charming charm. Even if she was used to seeing a beautiful girl, she felt that her beauty was so beautiful that she could eat, which made her index finger move.
Nangong Jianxue signaled the servant who was leading the way to leave, gently pulled the eagle knife with his hand, and walked towards a small pavilion not far away.
The Eagle Sword understood and asked his eight cavalry guards to wait by the road, and followed him closely.
Nangong Jianxue stood in the pavilion, looked back and looked at Eagle Dagger's face, covered her mouth and smiled: The servant just came to send you to the Wen family, and I don't believe that you just got married, and your father-in-law sent you to Huaiyin. Aren't the two brides angry?
Eagle knife smiled and said: Things are urgent, I have to come right. You sneaked back to Huaiyin and didn't say hello before leaving. Wan'er and Danyue were very worried.
Nangong Jianxue was stunned when she heard this, as if she was hiding something, and said with a forced smile: The two sisters were in awe of spring, how could they think of me?
Yingdao is careful and is good at observing words and expressions. Seeing this, Nangong Jianxue has a lot of privacy, but she is afraid that something major in her family will force her to leave without saying goodbye on the eve of her marriage.
Otherwise, she should have stayed in Xiangyang for a wedding wine before leaving, regardless of whether she was in good faith or reasonable.
Thinking of this, I took a deep thought
But he said: It's so unconscience-free. I came here this time. They even asked me to bring you some first-grade rouge and autumn eyebrow pencils from the "Huichuntang" in the capital. It is said that these two things can't be bought even if they have money. The extremely rare thing is in the luggage of the guard. I will give it to you later.
Nangong Jianxue knew that she had made up her words and hurriedly said: Thank you, the two sisters. After saying that, she was hesitant and stopped, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't make up her mind.
Nangong Jianxue has always been decisive and does not let the beards. This hesitation is very different from the past. I think there is something that is hard to say.
Eagle Knife tentatively said: Good sister, look at your frowning look, may you not welcome me?
Nangong Jianxue looked at the Eagle Blade with a steady look for a while, and finally sighed and said: If you come at another time, I will naturally welcome you, but this time... Alas, I'm afraid you'll have a free trip...
Eagle Dagger felt a deep heart, and felt that the future of this trip was not good, and said: Everyone is smart, so let's open the skylight and say something bright! Although you and I have no alliance, the ambition of the Huaxi Sword Sect dominate the world is well known to everyone. We should all hate the enemy and fight against the enemy together. I think Ling Zun should understand it.
Nangong Jianxue frowned and said softly: Huaxi Sword Sect sent Huaqing to be a lobbyist, do you think you already know?
Yingdao said: If it weren't for Huaqing, I wouldn't have come to Huaiyin! I was afraid of something, so I went there myself.
Nangong Jianxue hesitated for a while and said: There is another person who came with Huaqing and Huaqing, but it’s okay to say that this person is something my family can’t afford to mess with.
Ying Daoqi said: Who can’t even provoke him? His martial arts are very powerful?
Nangong Jianxue sneered: He has no martial arts at all, and he is still a man or a woman...
Neither male nor female? Is he a Yin-Yang man? Eagle knife laughed, halfway through laughter, and suddenly stopped laughing, his mouth wide open, and he could no longer close. He exclaimed, "The eunuch is here!"
Nangong Jianxue said: You finally understand that it is good. The eunuch Cheng, the eunuch in the palace.
Even though it was the cold winter month, Eagle Knife felt hot and sank almost sweating
Sagging: So awesome! Even the trump card that has been hidden under the table has been used. It seems that the Huaxi Sword Sect is determined to win this time. Hehe, using the power of the court to threaten people is their specialty.
Nangong Jianxue shook her head: This time they were not threatening, but tempting Mr. Cheng to bring an imperial edict a few days ago. The court wants to entrust my father to the history of the salt tour in Jiangnan. He is mainly in charge of the salt responsibilities of Jianghuai and the heavy responsibility of salt in Jianghuai. You should know what business my family is doing. With this imperial edict, my family will no longer have to sneak around...
Eagle Sword sneered: The salt of the world comes out of the Jianghuai River. With this black hat, the noble family will be able to earn a fortune every day. Huaxi Sword will send such a great fortune. If I can't refuse, what are the conditions they offer?
Nangong Jianxue couldn't help but feel ashamed and said: Their conditions are two conditions: First, our family has an alliance with the Huaxi Sword Sect and will be announced to the world; second... This condition is that after the Lantern Festival, we will send troops to attack the Wen family together with the Huaxi Sword Sect.
Huaxi Sword Sect just suffered a big loss in Xiangyang. For a moment, I was afraid that I would not be able to organize a large counterattack force in just one month, but it would be hard to say if there was a Nangong family on hand to help.
If you take a step back, even if the Huaxi Sword Sect only sends a small force to cooperate with the Nangong family to invade Xiangyang, you will not dare to be careless when both sides are attacked and you will definitely be exhausted. By then, when the Huaxi Sword Sect’s strength is accumulated and you will go north to fight again, you will have no chance of life?
In short, as long as the Huaxi Sword Sect and the Nangong Family form a 10% alliance, you must lose if you are in a position of convenience, and there is no other choice.
Thinking of the seriousness of the consequences, Yingdao's face changed slightly and said: Did Ling Zun agree? Isn't he afraid that the Huaxi Sword Sect will destroy the bridge across the river? Your family and the Wen family lost their lips and teeth. If the Wen family is destroyed, I am afraid that the end of your family will be coming soon...
Nangong Jianxue sighed: My father is not a short-sighted person, how could he not be wary? It’s just that Eunuch Cheng was sent by the court. If we firmly refuse to accept it, then it’s no different to have a grudge with the court. You know, my family is doing private salt transactions, and it depends on the government to turn a blind eye. If it is really strictly investigated, the court can kill my nine tribes by just looking through the old accounts. In short, this time, my family is really in trouble. You should now understand why I rushed back without even attending your wedding!
Eagle Sword said: What do you mean is that the Lord must accept it?
Nangong Jianxue shook her head and said: That's not the case. The key to this matter is to fall on the head of Eunuch Cheng. Since my family dares to do this business, there are naturally people in the court. If Eunuch Cheng is not very good, things will still turn around. But if Eunuch Cheng's backer is extremely strong, this matter is hard to say... My father has already sent someone to the capital to clear it up. News should have come recently, and Eunuch Cheng is trying his best to delay.
Fortunately, as long as Nangong Cangkong does not officially agree to cooperate with the Huaxi Sword Sect, there will be room for improvement in this matter.
At worst, she followed Yang Si's fat man's plan and cut Huaqing's head, then blamed the Nangong family, forcing Nangong Cangkong to ride the same boat with him.
Of course, if the so-called eunuch deputy general manager is disliked, he will do it together with one knife.
In this way, Nangong Cangkong would never have any more turning back. If he and the Wen family were going to be defeated, he would take over the mountain and become king. If he and the Wen family wanted to rebel, he would jump out and raise the flag of the opposite... Haha, anyway, I have done too much cheap things, and it would be nothing more to do.
Thinking of this, Eagle Dead suddenly felt much more relaxed
He smiled and said: I won’t say anything about Ling Zun for now, I’ll ask you one thing - from a personal standpoint, do you support the alliance with my Wen family or the Huaxi Sword Sect?
I still have to ask this? Nangong Jianxue said angrily, whether it is righteous or private, you and I should resist foreign enemies together! Although I personally hate Wen Shizhong...
Then do you hate me? Eagle knife giggled
Under such a harsh situation, the stinky monkey immediately returned to normal after a slight loss and chatted and laughed calmly, which really makes people admire him!
Nangong Jianxue was infected by the Eagle Sword's emotions. The haze that was heavily suppressed in her heart for many days was uncontrollable. She smiled and said: What about you... If you don't often smile, it's not that annoying.
That's fine. With you supporting me, I will have the confidence to win this battle! Eagle knife laughed, took Nangong Jianxue's hand and walked out of the pavilion.
Here comes again, why can't the bad habit of taking advantage of the stinky monkey?
Nangong Jianxue was both ashamed and angry. She shook his hand away and followed the Eagle Sword and asked in a cross-mouth: Why are you so sure? You...I warn you, this is my home, don't do anything randomly!
The Eagle Sword turned around and smiled meaningfully, saying: I won’t do anything randomly. I remember when I was in Xiangyang, you seemed to be interested in the "demon sword" I used when I fought against the Japanese ninja... I honestly tell you, the secret of what I can use is here!
As he said that, he patted the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword on his back
Nangong Jianxue's face turned red, remembering that since that day, Eagle Sword and Japanese Ninja used the battle of life and death in Xiangyang City. Qianxue Slash, ashes were wiped out. After the sword technique, he did explore the root cause indirectly, but this stinky monkey always pushed and stopped four times and refused to explain in detail. Unexpectedly, the secret was in the long sword behind him.
She blushed and said: So what?
Eagle Knife smiled and said: So, I wonder if Ling Zun is also interested in my "demon sword"?
Nangong Jianxue's heart is pounding
What the hell is this stinky monkey doing?
Could it be that he wants to kill Qianxue and wipe out the sword technique to his father?
Sure enough, the Eagle Sword continued: Although I have prepared some gifts for this trip to Huaiyin, when I see your luxurious formation, I think I will send you a thousand-year-old ginseng. In your eyes, I am afraid it is not much more expensive than radish. This is my first time paying homage to Lingzun. I always have to make my mind happy. After thinking about it, the only knife on my body is worth a few small amounts of money...
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nangong Jianxue in surprise: Send a knife? This knife is your portable weapon! You...
Yingdao smiled and said: This knife alone is naturally not enough. I know that your family has been selling salt on the Huaihe River waterway. If you want to sell it to the mainland, you must go through the territory of the Wen family or the He family in Luoyang by land. However, no matter which way you take, you will have to spend a lot of money to buy the road. In this way, the money you earn is limited. Now, as the son-in-law of the Wen family, I will open the Yangtze River waterway for your Nangong family. You don’t have any tariffs on the road. You can go wherever you want...
I don’t need to talk about the benefits of this!
Nangong Jianxue gasped and said: What do you mean? He gave both a knife and a silver. Do you want to compare the conditions with the Huaxi Sword Sect?
Eagle Sword laughed at the sky and said: The conditions are better than his grandmother! The Huaxi Sword Sect is backed by the court, and no matter how generous the conditions I give are, it is useless! I did this just for a reason!
Nangong Jianxueqi said: What's the reason?
Eagle Sword smiled mysteriously and said: Don’t ask now, you will know then. After talking, regardless of Nangong Jianxue’s questioning, he left with his longevity.
If Yang Si saw the mysterious smile of Eagle Sword, he would have guessed that someone must be in trouble, because every time Eagle Sword smiles like this, something bad will happen next.
※※※
Standing on the high hill of Xiaohua Creek, Meng Caiyi looked out of the north, her clothes blew with the wind and drifted out of the dust
At the end of the eyes, the slowly falling red sun jumped at the junction of the sky and the earth, emitting the last afterglow, rendering the sky and the earth into a bloody red
Although it is late winter and early spring, the river surface of Xiaohuaxi is already extremely busy
The not-so-wide river channel is filled with dense warships, and the white sails are endless, covering almost the entire river channel at the pier. People are surging on the pier, making the sky hustle and bustle.
It's really spectacular! Meng Caiyi chuckled, but it seemed a little messy
The great master's talent in organization and scheduling is really uncommon...
Behind her, an old man in gray robe stood quietly
This person's clothes are simple, his face is plain, his temples are white, and his back is slightly hunched. Judging from his shabby appearance, he is simply not worthy of even the servants who make gorgeously dressed Mengcaiyi.
But what is strange is that it is such an ordinary old man. When he stood beside Meng Caiyi, who was so beautiful that no one could ignore his existence.
Hearing Meng Caiyi's words, the old man's originally muscular face suddenly smiled and said: Ignorance child, let Caiyi laugh.
His smile seemed to have an unimaginable magic, just like a ray of sunshine suddenly cracked from the hazy sky, making his plain face suddenly vivid and full of charm, making people feel an impulse to bow down to his feet in that moment.
When his words fell, the smile on the corner of his lips immediately disappeared, and his entire image returned to ordinaryness at that moment.
Meng Caiyi looked back and smiled, Yanran said: It’s nothing to smile at me, I’m afraid that the eldest son will suffer a great loss in the future when facing Yang Sishi. Yang Si’s maneuver and quick response ability in on-site command can only be described as terrifying and fearful. Even I feel ashamed of myself. In fact, judging from the current situation, I can’t lose anymore, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
The victory or defeat of a battle is not just about the increase or decrease in the strength of both sides. The most important thing is the impact of the victory or loss of this battle on the overall situation.
Take the battle between Yang Si and Meng Caiyi in Shenyuan as an example
Meng Caiyi's crushing defeat in Shenyuan battle lost hundreds of elite warriors. This is not important. What is important is that it changed the situation between the enemy and us, causing the Wen family to slide from an absolutely proactive advantage to an embarrassing balance.
Next, Yang Si was weak and strong, and suddenly attacked the Huaxi Sword Sect in Gong'an and Yiling without any hesitation, and turned around and drove Meng Caiyi out of Xiangyang. The battle broke the stalemate between the two sides, causing the Huaxi Sword Sect to be frustrated again, and was passively abnormal
After these two battles, the Wen family miraculously changed from a lamb to a character who could compete with the Huaxi Sword Sect head-on
Compared with the loss of manpower and material resources in the battle, this is the most deadly
So, no matter what, the next battle with the Wen family must not be lost.
If you lose, you will not only lose the opportunity to win the Central Plains, but you will even lose nothing.
Thinking of Yang Si's shocking method of turning his hands into clouds and rain, the old man couldn't help but be fascinated by leisurely. He sighed and said: Yang Si is indeed worthy of being a wise man, and he should be your and my strong enemy!
Also, I think that prodigal Eagle Sword is not an easy character to deal with. The Wen family inexplicably received the strong help from these two people. Could it be that they should be really dead?
When Meng Caiyi heard the name of the Eagle Knife, she suddenly jumped in her heart. She didn't know whether it was sad or happy, but she felt so depressed that her chest was very uncomfortable.
She was afraid that something was strange, so she turned around quietly, pretended to look into the scenery, with her back facing the old man
As you can see in your eyes, the clear water of Xiaohua Creek winds around the world. Although there is still snow on both sides, the weeping willows on the roadside have a new green color.
Under the weeping willows, there are often several pavilions flying out, either hidden or appearing in the clouds or mists.
Once upon a time, in one of the pavilions, I met Eagle Sword for the first time in my true face. At that time, Eagle Sword had not yet become a famous prodigal son; at that time, I was named Su Xiaoxiao
But now, the world has changed and the fate has made people feel like they have embarked on the destined path of breaking...
This is really impossible to change. Is it really what I want in my heart?
Meng Caiyi's thoughts, the old man seemed to be unaware of anything
I saw a sudden murderous intent in his eyes and continued: If I had known that the stinky brat of Eagle Sword was so troublesome, I would not have been concerned about Chu Tianshu that day, so I would have taken his life as soon as possible.
Meng Caiyi's face changed slightly, and she knew that the old man had a crush on Eagle Sword and Yang Si.
She turned around and said: Although Ying Yang and the other two are our strong rivals, as long as we have proper strategies, steadily and do not make any moves easily, I expect that the Wen family is not our opponent. After all, the strength of both sides is here. Even if they can occasionally take the lead, if they continue to fight, I still firmly believe that victory will stand on our side. What I really worry about is ourselves...
The old man frowned and said: Are you... referring to Liuyun?
Meng Caiyi nodded and said: The battlefield is changing rapidly. As the commander of a battle, any decision of his decision is enough to change the entire situation. The eldest son... Master, please be honest, the eldest son is not a convincing candidate for command at present, especially this decisive battle is related to the luck of both the enemy and us. Is it a bit of a risk to let the eldest son take on this heavy responsibility in this critical battle?
The old man smiled bitterly and said: You needn't say that you are so tactful, I understand in my heart, Liuyun... He will never be able to become a convincing leader in his life. He has only ambitions, but he is very talented and narrow-minded, and it is difficult to take great responsibility.
Meng Caiyi smiled and said: Although the eldest son has many defects, he is not as unbearable as the old man said.
As long as you spend time and practice more, there is still hope.
The old man shook his head and said: No one knows his son is better than my father and my son. Who can understand better than me? Liuhua, although he is a woman who is kind and not decisive enough in dealing with things, this is his shortcomings but also his advantages. If properly guided, it may be possible to create
Unexpectedly, this simple and unpretentious old man turned out to be the father of Huaxi Sword Sect Hua Yun Shuangjian, and the supreme overlord of the Jiangnan martial arts world today - Jing Yueqing!
Instigation: The Tiger Leap Change, Urges the throne of father and brother, and reliances on their own; when poisoning Jiangnan in the Heavenly Demon Palace, they connected all the weak sects in Jiangnan to form an alliance to fight against the Heavenly Demon Palace; colluded with the government, and pulled out the Wushuang Mansion, the leader of the Jiangnan underworld overnight; and finally defeated the main force of the Heavenly Demon Palace in a battle on the shore of Dongting Lake and successfully won the Jiangnan... Every thing is a shocking big deal, a legend in the martial arts world
And the person who created these legends is the seemingly mediocre old man in front of him?
In the minds of many people, Jing Yue is a legend in itself
If they were lucky enough to see Jing's tragedy at this moment, they would think so if they were disappointed, they would definitely think like this: Is he Jing's tragedy? A San, who washes the toilet at my house, takes a shower and changes his clothes, looks more decent than him.
But no matter what, Jing's tragedy is Jing's tragedy. No matter how powerful or vulgar or dull his appearance can't change this fact
Although sea water cannot be measured, how can people behave like appearance?
Meng Caiyi said: Since that's the case, why did the old man choose the eldest son to be the commander of this decisive battle?
Jing sadly smiled slightly, looked up at the sky, and said softly: Because... Liuyun is cruel and ruthless, this is very similar to me back then.
Meng Caiyi was puzzled and said: It looks like you back then?
Jing Yuqing sighed, and there was an indescribable vicissitudes in his tone: If I hadn't the courage to instigate the "Tiger Leap Change", then the Huaxi Sword Sect might never have the glory today... Decades have passed, and the vicious and resentful eyes of my father and brother when he looked at me that day, I still can't get rid of it until today. However, I do not regret the original decision. Everything I have done now is worthy of the ancestors!
He paused and continued: Sometimes, if a person wants to succeed, he must give up some things worth cherishing. If he gives up, he will not give up. Where can he get it?
Jing Wuqing talked about his evil deeds of killing his father and brother back then. Although there was some repentance in his tone, he was more proud.
Compared with you, the old man, the eldest son is brave and scheming, and only the word "ruthless" is afraid that he will only have the wolves' heart!
Meng Caiyi smiled
Jing Yuqing smiled and said: It's true that I feel embarrassed to have such a son! In the past, he easily agreed to kill me and become independent based on your words, just by his wife. He had no careful planning and no courage to act. He didn't even know that he was used by you and me, especially after that, he didn't even have the courage to admit his mistakes, and wanted to blame Liuhua. If he hadn't thought of him, it would be useful, and I would have executed him.
As soon as this said, Meng Caiyi was extremely surprised and said in surprise: Execute him? He... is your son! How can you bear it?
Jing Yuqing sneered: Son? From the day he promised to kill me and become independent, he was no longer my son. I only have one son, that is Liuhua
Meng Caiyi frowned slightly and said: Since that's the case, why did you pass on the position of the head to the eldest son? Aren't you afraid that he will use his power to form a clique to become a leader? By then, if you want the eldest son to abdicate, it will be not that easy.
Jing smiled sadly and said: Liuyun is extremely arrogant, but in fact he is a fool with great ambitions and ambitions. In addition, he is mean to his subordinates, and does not know how to use small favors to the people of the city, but only knows to use power to suppress others. Not many people will work hard for him. The power he now has is given to him. If I want to take it back, it is just a sentence.
Meng Caiyi said: In this way, the eldest son can hold the position of head at this moment, but you have other plans.
Jing said sadly: Of course you are so smart, maybe guess what I want
Meng Caiyi said softly: Then I will try to guess what? If you can't guess, you can't laugh at me.
Jing laughed sadly and said: That's not OK. If you can't guess, I will punish you to dance for me under the tiger's leap hall tonight.
Meng Caiyi smiled and said: I haven't danced for a long time since I was fighting each other. My dancing skills have long declined, and I am afraid that the old man's eyes will be tainted.
Jing said with a smile: So, if you guess it, I will lose the lottery for you, what do you want? Even if you say it, as long as I can do it, it will definitely be realized for you.
Meng Caiyi smiled and asked: Are you serious?
Jing said sadly: You have no jokes.
The corridor paved with stone in Qingtian, guardrails made of white marble, glazed tiles, bronze beast heads, and even more amazing is that even in the cold winter when everything withered, one or two unknown bright flowers often popped out of the snow on the roadside.
I think this kind of cross-flower must have been planted from the bitter and cold land, and the human and material resources spent in it are also shocking.
A fly flew out of the Nangong family, which may be made of gold. There are often similar laughs in the streets to describe the wealth of the Nangong family. Although it is inevitably exaggerated, it is enough to summarize the majestic atmosphere of the Nangong family's wealth that is comparable to the country.
At this point, even the imperial family is just like this
I always thought that the Wen family was rich, but compared with it, I immediately felt that it was several levels lower.
Eagle Knife looked around and couldn't help but gasp, feeling regretful: Mom, a big hot watermelon! If I had known that the Nangong family was so rich, when I was in Xiangyang that day, I should have used my brain more on the dead girl and scraped a few small money to spend... Fortunately, it was not too late to repair the sheep, and this trip to Huaiyin will be delayed for a few days. At that time, you must flatter and always get some benefits from the dead girl...
Not only is the bitch who is secretly envious of the Eight Cavalry, but also the guards of the Wen family's eight cavalry who came with the Eagle Sword were also shining for the luxurious Nangong family, with their eyes shining brightly.
Fortunately, the eight cavalry of the Wen family have always been well-trained. After a little amazement, they immediately returned to normal, so as not to be laughed at by the servants of the Nangong family who were leading the way forward.
The guards walked forward in a row, all of whom were silently squinted and silently looked at each other, but they didn't fall into the Wen family's style. However, they only regretted that the leader's Eagle Knife was not very good, so they often made some sounds of tsk tsk, just like a country boy who had entered the city for the first time. Although the servants of the Nangong family didn't say it, the contempt in their eyes could see even the blind man.
For a moment, the guards couldn't help but feel dull and wanted to drag the ignorant eagle sword into the corner to beat him up and vent their anger.
The smelly monkey... it was you really? Wen Shizhong sent you to my house for negotiations?
Just as the road was long and endless, a white shadow suddenly flew over and blocked everyone's way.
But I saw the person who was so pretty and unparalleled. Who wouldn’t be Nangong Jianxue?
When Eagle Dagger saw this, he rushed forward and grabbed Nangong Jianxue's little hand and said with a smile: Good sister, it's great that you are here. I'm worried that no one will introduce Ling Zun to me!
Although Nangong Jianxue knew that Eagle Sword was unruly, she didn't expect that when he met, he would pull his hand with a slutty hand. She quickly shook it away, blushed her face and whispered: Give me some respect, do you think it's still in Xiangyang...
Eagle knife laughed and said softly: I didn't do anything to you in Xiangyang... Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, girl, you are becoming more and more beautiful and charming.
The snow was clear, and Nangong Jianxue, wearing a purple snow-covered snow, looked even more pink and jade-carved. Compared with the heroic appearance in the past, she had another charming and charming charm. Even if she was used to seeing a beautiful girl, she felt that her beauty was so beautiful that she could eat, which made her index finger move.
Nangong Jianxue signaled the servant who was leading the way to leave, gently pulled the eagle knife with his hand, and walked towards a small pavilion not far away.
The Eagle Sword understood and asked his eight cavalry guards to wait by the road, and followed him closely.
Nangong Jianxue stood in the pavilion, looked back and looked at Eagle Dagger's face, covered her mouth and smiled: The servant just came to send you to the Wen family, and I don't believe that you just got married, and your father-in-law sent you to Huaiyin. Aren't the two brides angry?
Eagle knife smiled and said: Things are urgent, I have to come right. You sneaked back to Huaiyin and didn't say hello before leaving. Wan'er and Danyue were very worried.
Nangong Jianxue was stunned when she heard this, as if she was hiding something, and said with a forced smile: The two sisters were in awe of spring, how could they think of me?
Yingdao is careful and is good at observing words and expressions. Seeing this, Nangong Jianxue has a lot of privacy, but she is afraid that something major in her family will force her to leave without saying goodbye on the eve of her marriage.
Otherwise, she should have stayed in Xiangyang for a wedding wine before leaving, regardless of whether she was in good faith or reasonable.
Thinking of this, I took a deep thought
But he said: It's so unconscience-free. I came here this time. They even asked me to bring you some first-grade rouge and autumn eyebrow pencils from the "Huichuntang" in the capital. It is said that these two things can't be bought even if they have money. The extremely rare thing is in the luggage of the guard. I will give it to you later.
Nangong Jianxue knew that she had made up her words and hurriedly said: Thank you, the two sisters. After saying that, she was hesitant and stopped, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't make up her mind.
Nangong Jianxue has always been decisive and does not let the beards. This hesitation is very different from the past. I think there is something that is hard to say.
Eagle Knife tentatively said: Good sister, look at your frowning look, may you not welcome me?
Nangong Jianxue looked at the Eagle Blade with a steady look for a while, and finally sighed and said: If you come at another time, I will naturally welcome you, but this time... Alas, I'm afraid you'll have a free trip...
Eagle Dagger felt a deep heart, and felt that the future of this trip was not good, and said: Everyone is smart, so let's open the skylight and say something bright! Although you and I have no alliance, the ambition of the Huaxi Sword Sect dominate the world is well known to everyone. We should all hate the enemy and fight against the enemy together. I think Ling Zun should understand it.
Nangong Jianxue frowned and said softly: Huaxi Sword Sect sent Huaqing to be a lobbyist, do you think you already know?
Yingdao said: If it weren't for Huaqing, I wouldn't have come to Huaiyin! I was afraid of something, so I went there myself.
Nangong Jianxue hesitated for a while and said: There is another person who came with Huaqing and Huaqing, but it’s okay to say that this person is something my family can’t afford to mess with.
Ying Daoqi said: Who can’t even provoke him? His martial arts are very powerful?
Nangong Jianxue sneered: He has no martial arts at all, and he is still a man or a woman...
Neither male nor female? Is he a Yin-Yang man? Eagle knife laughed, halfway through laughter, and suddenly stopped laughing, his mouth wide open, and he could no longer close. He exclaimed, "The eunuch is here!"
Nangong Jianxue said: You finally understand that it is good. The eunuch Cheng, the eunuch in the palace.
Even though it was the cold winter month, Eagle Knife felt hot and sank almost sweating
Sagging: So awesome! Even the trump card that has been hidden under the table has been used. It seems that the Huaxi Sword Sect is determined to win this time. Hehe, using the power of the court to threaten people is their specialty.
Nangong Jianxue shook her head: This time they were not threatening, but tempting Mr. Cheng to bring an imperial edict a few days ago. The court wants to entrust my father to the history of the salt tour in Jiangnan. He is mainly in charge of the salt responsibilities of Jianghuai and the heavy responsibility of salt in Jianghuai. You should know what business my family is doing. With this imperial edict, my family will no longer have to sneak around...
Eagle Sword sneered: The salt of the world comes out of the Jianghuai River. With this black hat, the noble family will be able to earn a fortune every day. Huaxi Sword will send such a great fortune. If I can't refuse, what are the conditions they offer?
Nangong Jianxue couldn't help but feel ashamed and said: Their conditions are two conditions: First, our family has an alliance with the Huaxi Sword Sect and will be announced to the world; second... This condition is that after the Lantern Festival, we will send troops to attack the Wen family together with the Huaxi Sword Sect.
Huaxi Sword Sect just suffered a big loss in Xiangyang. For a moment, I was afraid that I would not be able to organize a large counterattack force in just one month, but it would be hard to say if there was a Nangong family on hand to help.
If you take a step back, even if the Huaxi Sword Sect only sends a small force to cooperate with the Nangong family to invade Xiangyang, you will not dare to be careless when both sides are attacked and you will definitely be exhausted. By then, when the Huaxi Sword Sect’s strength is accumulated and you will go north to fight again, you will have no chance of life?
In short, as long as the Huaxi Sword Sect and the Nangong Family form a 10% alliance, you must lose if you are in a position of convenience, and there is no other choice.
Thinking of the seriousness of the consequences, Yingdao's face changed slightly and said: Did Ling Zun agree? Isn't he afraid that the Huaxi Sword Sect will destroy the bridge across the river? Your family and the Wen family lost their lips and teeth. If the Wen family is destroyed, I am afraid that the end of your family will be coming soon...
Nangong Jianxue sighed: My father is not a short-sighted person, how could he not be wary? It’s just that Eunuch Cheng was sent by the court. If we firmly refuse to accept it, then it’s no different to have a grudge with the court. You know, my family is doing private salt transactions, and it depends on the government to turn a blind eye. If it is really strictly investigated, the court can kill my nine tribes by just looking through the old accounts. In short, this time, my family is really in trouble. You should now understand why I rushed back without even attending your wedding!
Eagle Sword said: What do you mean is that the Lord must accept it?
Nangong Jianxue shook her head and said: That's not the case. The key to this matter is to fall on the head of Eunuch Cheng. Since my family dares to do this business, there are naturally people in the court. If Eunuch Cheng is not very good, things will still turn around. But if Eunuch Cheng's backer is extremely strong, this matter is hard to say... My father has already sent someone to the capital to clear it up. News should have come recently, and Eunuch Cheng is trying his best to delay.
Fortunately, as long as Nangong Cangkong does not officially agree to cooperate with the Huaxi Sword Sect, there will be room for improvement in this matter.
At worst, she followed Yang Si's fat man's plan and cut Huaqing's head, then blamed the Nangong family, forcing Nangong Cangkong to ride the same boat with him.
Of course, if the so-called eunuch deputy general manager is disliked, he will do it together with one knife.
In this way, Nangong Cangkong would never have any more turning back. If he and the Wen family were going to be defeated, he would take over the mountain and become king. If he and the Wen family wanted to rebel, he would jump out and raise the flag of the opposite... Haha, anyway, I have done too much cheap things, and it would be nothing more to do.
Thinking of this, Eagle Dead suddenly felt much more relaxed
He smiled and said: I won’t say anything about Ling Zun for now, I’ll ask you one thing - from a personal standpoint, do you support the alliance with my Wen family or the Huaxi Sword Sect?
I still have to ask this? Nangong Jianxue said angrily, whether it is righteous or private, you and I should resist foreign enemies together! Although I personally hate Wen Shizhong...
Then do you hate me? Eagle knife giggled
Under such a harsh situation, the stinky monkey immediately returned to normal after a slight loss and chatted and laughed calmly, which really makes people admire him!
Nangong Jianxue was infected by the Eagle Sword's emotions. The haze that was heavily suppressed in her heart for many days was uncontrollable. She smiled and said: What about you... If you don't often smile, it's not that annoying.
That's fine. With you supporting me, I will have the confidence to win this battle! Eagle knife laughed, took Nangong Jianxue's hand and walked out of the pavilion.
Here comes again, why can't the bad habit of taking advantage of the stinky monkey?
Nangong Jianxue was both ashamed and angry. She shook his hand away and followed the Eagle Sword and asked in a cross-mouth: Why are you so sure? You...I warn you, this is my home, don't do anything randomly!
The Eagle Sword turned around and smiled meaningfully, saying: I won’t do anything randomly. I remember when I was in Xiangyang, you seemed to be interested in the "demon sword" I used when I fought against the Japanese ninja... I honestly tell you, the secret of what I can use is here!
As he said that, he patted the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword on his back
Nangong Jianxue's face turned red, remembering that since that day, Eagle Sword and Japanese Ninja used the battle of life and death in Xiangyang City. Qianxue Slash, ashes were wiped out. After the sword technique, he did explore the root cause indirectly, but this stinky monkey always pushed and stopped four times and refused to explain in detail. Unexpectedly, the secret was in the long sword behind him.
She blushed and said: So what?
Eagle Knife smiled and said: So, I wonder if Ling Zun is also interested in my "demon sword"?
Nangong Jianxue's heart is pounding
What the hell is this stinky monkey doing?
Could it be that he wants to kill Qianxue and wipe out the sword technique to his father?
Sure enough, the Eagle Sword continued: Although I have prepared some gifts for this trip to Huaiyin, when I see your luxurious formation, I think I will send you a thousand-year-old ginseng. In your eyes, I am afraid it is not much more expensive than radish. This is my first time paying homage to Lingzun. I always have to make my mind happy. After thinking about it, the only knife on my body is worth a few small amounts of money...
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nangong Jianxue in surprise: Send a knife? This knife is your portable weapon! You...
Yingdao smiled and said: This knife alone is naturally not enough. I know that your family has been selling salt on the Huaihe River waterway. If you want to sell it to the mainland, you must go through the territory of the Wen family or the He family in Luoyang by land. However, no matter which way you take, you will have to spend a lot of money to buy the road. In this way, the money you earn is limited. Now, as the son-in-law of the Wen family, I will open the Yangtze River waterway for your Nangong family. You don’t have any tariffs on the road. You can go wherever you want...
I don’t need to talk about the benefits of this!
Nangong Jianxue gasped and said: What do you mean? He gave both a knife and a silver. Do you want to compare the conditions with the Huaxi Sword Sect?
Eagle Sword laughed at the sky and said: The conditions are better than his grandmother! The Huaxi Sword Sect is backed by the court, and no matter how generous the conditions I give are, it is useless! I did this just for a reason!
Nangong Jianxueqi said: What's the reason?
Eagle Sword smiled mysteriously and said: Don’t ask now, you will know then. After talking, regardless of Nangong Jianxue’s questioning, he left with his longevity.
If Yang Si saw the mysterious smile of Eagle Sword, he would have guessed that someone must be in trouble, because every time Eagle Sword smiles like this, something bad will happen next.
※※※
Standing on the high hill of Xiaohua Creek, Meng Caiyi looked out of the north, her clothes blew with the wind and drifted out of the dust
At the end of the eyes, the slowly falling red sun jumped at the junction of the sky and the earth, emitting the last afterglow, rendering the sky and the earth into a bloody red
Although it is late winter and early spring, the river surface of Xiaohuaxi is already extremely busy
The not-so-wide river channel is filled with dense warships, and the white sails are endless, covering almost the entire river channel at the pier. People are surging on the pier, making the sky hustle and bustle.
It's really spectacular! Meng Caiyi chuckled, but it seemed a little messy
The great master's talent in organization and scheduling is really uncommon...
Behind her, an old man in gray robe stood quietly
This person's clothes are simple, his face is plain, his temples are white, and his back is slightly hunched. Judging from his shabby appearance, he is simply not worthy of even the servants who make gorgeously dressed Mengcaiyi.
But what is strange is that it is such an ordinary old man. When he stood beside Meng Caiyi, who was so beautiful that no one could ignore his existence.
Hearing Meng Caiyi's words, the old man's originally muscular face suddenly smiled and said: Ignorance child, let Caiyi laugh.
His smile seemed to have an unimaginable magic, just like a ray of sunshine suddenly cracked from the hazy sky, making his plain face suddenly vivid and full of charm, making people feel an impulse to bow down to his feet in that moment.
When his words fell, the smile on the corner of his lips immediately disappeared, and his entire image returned to ordinaryness at that moment.
Meng Caiyi looked back and smiled, Yanran said: It’s nothing to smile at me, I’m afraid that the eldest son will suffer a great loss in the future when facing Yang Sishi. Yang Si’s maneuver and quick response ability in on-site command can only be described as terrifying and fearful. Even I feel ashamed of myself. In fact, judging from the current situation, I can’t lose anymore, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
The victory or defeat of a battle is not just about the increase or decrease in the strength of both sides. The most important thing is the impact of the victory or loss of this battle on the overall situation.
Take the battle between Yang Si and Meng Caiyi in Shenyuan as an example
Meng Caiyi's crushing defeat in Shenyuan battle lost hundreds of elite warriors. This is not important. What is important is that it changed the situation between the enemy and us, causing the Wen family to slide from an absolutely proactive advantage to an embarrassing balance.
Next, Yang Si was weak and strong, and suddenly attacked the Huaxi Sword Sect in Gong'an and Yiling without any hesitation, and turned around and drove Meng Caiyi out of Xiangyang. The battle broke the stalemate between the two sides, causing the Huaxi Sword Sect to be frustrated again, and was passively abnormal
After these two battles, the Wen family miraculously changed from a lamb to a character who could compete with the Huaxi Sword Sect head-on
Compared with the loss of manpower and material resources in the battle, this is the most deadly
So, no matter what, the next battle with the Wen family must not be lost.
If you lose, you will not only lose the opportunity to win the Central Plains, but you will even lose nothing.
Thinking of Yang Si's shocking method of turning his hands into clouds and rain, the old man couldn't help but be fascinated by leisurely. He sighed and said: Yang Si is indeed worthy of being a wise man, and he should be your and my strong enemy!
Also, I think that prodigal Eagle Sword is not an easy character to deal with. The Wen family inexplicably received the strong help from these two people. Could it be that they should be really dead?
When Meng Caiyi heard the name of the Eagle Knife, she suddenly jumped in her heart. She didn't know whether it was sad or happy, but she felt so depressed that her chest was very uncomfortable.
She was afraid that something was strange, so she turned around quietly, pretended to look into the scenery, with her back facing the old man
As you can see in your eyes, the clear water of Xiaohua Creek winds around the world. Although there is still snow on both sides, the weeping willows on the roadside have a new green color.
Under the weeping willows, there are often several pavilions flying out, either hidden or appearing in the clouds or mists.
Once upon a time, in one of the pavilions, I met Eagle Sword for the first time in my true face. At that time, Eagle Sword had not yet become a famous prodigal son; at that time, I was named Su Xiaoxiao
But now, the world has changed and the fate has made people feel like they have embarked on the destined path of breaking...
This is really impossible to change. Is it really what I want in my heart?
Meng Caiyi's thoughts, the old man seemed to be unaware of anything
I saw a sudden murderous intent in his eyes and continued: If I had known that the stinky brat of Eagle Sword was so troublesome, I would not have been concerned about Chu Tianshu that day, so I would have taken his life as soon as possible.
Meng Caiyi's face changed slightly, and she knew that the old man had a crush on Eagle Sword and Yang Si.
She turned around and said: Although Ying Yang and the other two are our strong rivals, as long as we have proper strategies, steadily and do not make any moves easily, I expect that the Wen family is not our opponent. After all, the strength of both sides is here. Even if they can occasionally take the lead, if they continue to fight, I still firmly believe that victory will stand on our side. What I really worry about is ourselves...
The old man frowned and said: Are you... referring to Liuyun?
Meng Caiyi nodded and said: The battlefield is changing rapidly. As the commander of a battle, any decision of his decision is enough to change the entire situation. The eldest son... Master, please be honest, the eldest son is not a convincing candidate for command at present, especially this decisive battle is related to the luck of both the enemy and us. Is it a bit of a risk to let the eldest son take on this heavy responsibility in this critical battle?
The old man smiled bitterly and said: You needn't say that you are so tactful, I understand in my heart, Liuyun... He will never be able to become a convincing leader in his life. He has only ambitions, but he is very talented and narrow-minded, and it is difficult to take great responsibility.
Meng Caiyi smiled and said: Although the eldest son has many defects, he is not as unbearable as the old man said.
As long as you spend time and practice more, there is still hope.
The old man shook his head and said: No one knows his son is better than my father and my son. Who can understand better than me? Liuhua, although he is a woman who is kind and not decisive enough in dealing with things, this is his shortcomings but also his advantages. If properly guided, it may be possible to create
Unexpectedly, this simple and unpretentious old man turned out to be the father of Huaxi Sword Sect Hua Yun Shuangjian, and the supreme overlord of the Jiangnan martial arts world today - Jing Yueqing!
Instigation: The Tiger Leap Change, Urges the throne of father and brother, and reliances on their own; when poisoning Jiangnan in the Heavenly Demon Palace, they connected all the weak sects in Jiangnan to form an alliance to fight against the Heavenly Demon Palace; colluded with the government, and pulled out the Wushuang Mansion, the leader of the Jiangnan underworld overnight; and finally defeated the main force of the Heavenly Demon Palace in a battle on the shore of Dongting Lake and successfully won the Jiangnan... Every thing is a shocking big deal, a legend in the martial arts world
And the person who created these legends is the seemingly mediocre old man in front of him?
In the minds of many people, Jing Yue is a legend in itself
If they were lucky enough to see Jing's tragedy at this moment, they would think so if they were disappointed, they would definitely think like this: Is he Jing's tragedy? A San, who washes the toilet at my house, takes a shower and changes his clothes, looks more decent than him.
But no matter what, Jing's tragedy is Jing's tragedy. No matter how powerful or vulgar or dull his appearance can't change this fact
Although sea water cannot be measured, how can people behave like appearance?
Meng Caiyi said: Since that's the case, why did the old man choose the eldest son to be the commander of this decisive battle?
Jing sadly smiled slightly, looked up at the sky, and said softly: Because... Liuyun is cruel and ruthless, this is very similar to me back then.
Meng Caiyi was puzzled and said: It looks like you back then?
Jing Yuqing sighed, and there was an indescribable vicissitudes in his tone: If I hadn't the courage to instigate the "Tiger Leap Change", then the Huaxi Sword Sect might never have the glory today... Decades have passed, and the vicious and resentful eyes of my father and brother when he looked at me that day, I still can't get rid of it until today. However, I do not regret the original decision. Everything I have done now is worthy of the ancestors!
He paused and continued: Sometimes, if a person wants to succeed, he must give up some things worth cherishing. If he gives up, he will not give up. Where can he get it?
Jing Wuqing talked about his evil deeds of killing his father and brother back then. Although there was some repentance in his tone, he was more proud.
Compared with you, the old man, the eldest son is brave and scheming, and only the word "ruthless" is afraid that he will only have the wolves' heart!
Meng Caiyi smiled
Jing Yuqing smiled and said: It's true that I feel embarrassed to have such a son! In the past, he easily agreed to kill me and become independent based on your words, just by his wife. He had no careful planning and no courage to act. He didn't even know that he was used by you and me, especially after that, he didn't even have the courage to admit his mistakes, and wanted to blame Liuhua. If he hadn't thought of him, it would be useful, and I would have executed him.
As soon as this said, Meng Caiyi was extremely surprised and said in surprise: Execute him? He... is your son! How can you bear it?
Jing Yuqing sneered: Son? From the day he promised to kill me and become independent, he was no longer my son. I only have one son, that is Liuhua
Meng Caiyi frowned slightly and said: Since that's the case, why did you pass on the position of the head to the eldest son? Aren't you afraid that he will use his power to form a clique to become a leader? By then, if you want the eldest son to abdicate, it will be not that easy.
Jing smiled sadly and said: Liuyun is extremely arrogant, but in fact he is a fool with great ambitions and ambitions. In addition, he is mean to his subordinates, and does not know how to use small favors to the people of the city, but only knows to use power to suppress others. Not many people will work hard for him. The power he now has is given to him. If I want to take it back, it is just a sentence.
Meng Caiyi said: In this way, the eldest son can hold the position of head at this moment, but you have other plans.
Jing said sadly: Of course you are so smart, maybe guess what I want
Meng Caiyi said softly: Then I will try to guess what? If you can't guess, you can't laugh at me.
Jing laughed sadly and said: That's not OK. If you can't guess, I will punish you to dance for me under the tiger's leap hall tonight.
Meng Caiyi smiled and said: I haven't danced for a long time since I was fighting each other. My dancing skills have long declined, and I am afraid that the old man's eyes will be tainted.
Jing said with a smile: So, if you guess it, I will lose the lottery for you, what do you want? Even if you say it, as long as I can do it, it will definitely be realized for you.
Meng Caiyi smiled and asked: Are you serious?
Jing said sadly: You have no jokes.
