Under the sky

Chapter 76 Songgao Weiyue
When he arrived in Shandong, Li Jingfeng really didn't expect to encounter a hurdle.Logically speaking, Songshan is still under the jurisdiction of Shaolin, but it has set up a pass at the junction of Hebei and Shandong. It is really neither fish nor fowl.The guards interrogated Li Jingfeng and Old Man Xi. Old Man Xi took out the seal given by his son and said it was for visiting relatives. The guard saw that there was nothing suspicious about the two of them. The seal was personally awarded by the Songshan Sect, so they did not make things difficult for them.A guard warned: "Shandong is not peaceful, so don't wander around if you have nothing to do. Observe the curfew and don't come out to cause trouble."

Li Jingfeng agreed and drove a carriage through the border.There are many temples in Hebei, but in Shandong, there are more temples and fewer temples. However, the guards and checks along the way are much stricter than those in Huashan Qingcheng, let alone Wudang.He and Old Man Xi stayed in Caozhou City. He heard crying at night, and after asking the waiter, he found out that a master of the Dingtianmen who had jurisdiction over the local area was assassinated.

"Hangzhu Ye is a good man. He is in charge of Caozhou's money and grain tax. When poor people cannot pay the tax, he will find ways to help them deduct it, build roads and bridges in the local area instead of field tax, and get wages afterwards." He looked sad, "Those sons of bitches almost killed his entire family!"

Li Jingfeng couldn't bear it and asked: "He is already the hall master, how can he be killed by bandits?"

The waiter said: "Those are not ordinary horse bandits, they are rebels from the Songgao League!"

"Songgao League?" Li Jingfeng was puzzled.

"Hall Master Ye is from Dingtao. He went home to visit relatives last month. Song Gaomeng took the opportunity to break into his manor. A family of young and old took care of the home, and more than fifty people died. Hall Master Ye's grandnephew was only seven years old, and his mother Unable to find a place to hide, they threw the child into the well and drowned in it! Only an 11-year-old grandnephew escaped the whole family."

Li Jingfeng was furious and asked: "Isn't it like Wudang that the fierce bandit Songshan is ignored?"

The waiter said quickly: "Sir, you are a foreigner, so stop gossiping. If people who support the Songgao League hear it, you will be in trouble."

Li Jingfeng said angrily: "Does anyone still support these gangsters?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "You really don't know anything. Okay, don't ask. Asking more will cause trouble." After that, he left without explaining.

Old Man Xi also said: "It's useless for you to ask about these unlucky things. Get some rest early, we have to go on the road tomorrow morning."

Li Jingfeng fell into a dull sleep, and went to Jinan with Old Man Xi the next day, where he heard about the evil deeds of the Songgao League.Old Man Xi was all over the place and kept telling Li Jingfeng to be careful.Li Jingfeng inquired about the origins of the Songgao League, but he only used a stick and a hammer here and there. He couldn't understand clearly and was busy on his way. However, Old Man Xi said it well. Wouldn't he ask his son more clearly about Songshan when he saw him?Li Jingfeng thought it made sense, so he was not in a hurry.

When they arrived near Jinan, Old Man Xi took out his son's name and finally got to know a few guards, who treated him very politely.Li Jingfeng also found it funny to see Old Man Xi's proud look with his nostrils turned upward.

The city wall of Jinan City is higher than Li Jingfeng expected. Although it is not as grand as Kongtong Border Gate, it is comparable to Qingcheng.After the Shaosong Controversy, Songshan abandoned its original Zhongyue Temple and moved it to Jinan, echoing the Taishan Sect.The base of Taishan Sect is still in Dongyue, which is only more than [-] miles away from Jinan.Taishan is to Songshan just as Songshan is to Shaolin, and the Peng family is to the Beggar Clan. They are both the largest sects in the territory and have great power. However, the Songtai family has been married for a long time, and the relationship is so close that the Peng family and the Beggar Clan cannot compare.Li Jingfeng learned these things from "Anecdotes from Kyushu" sent by Wen Ruoshan.

Entering Jinan City, Li Jingfeng asked: "Old sir, where does your son live? Where should I drive?"

Old Man Xi was stunned and said: "I don't know either... How about you go to the Songshan Sect and ask people there?"

Li Jingfeng said: "Isn't this a violation of other people's sects?"

Old Man Xi said: "What are you afraid of! Go to Zhongtianmen, my son is the deputy commander!"

Li Jingfeng smiled and said: "Yes, yes, it's so majestic!" After asking about the road, he drove towards Songshan Sect.

The main entrance of Songshan Courtyard is Zhongtian Gate.Different from Qingcheng, in addition to the big city of Ba County, Qingcheng also built a small city inside it, where only the Shen family lived.Li Jingfeng remembered that Shen Yuqing mentioned that in addition to him and his younger sister's family, there were also some uncles and cousins ​​living in Qingcheng. However, the uncles were already old and had no longer been involved in political affairs. Most of the cousins ​​had not received official posts. Going to work means establishing one's own business.

Although the Songshan compound also has high walls, they are only two feet high. Such a wall may be able to prevent thieves, but it cannot be used as a city to defend it. It looks more like a deep house compound.But the same thing as Qingcheng is that it is a huge courtyard that you don’t know how to enter.

"I'm looking for Xi Dagou!" Old Man Xi said to the gate guard, "My son Xi Dagou is the deputy commander of Zhongtian Sect!"

The guard frowned and asked in confusion: "Big Dog Xi?" Another guard asked: "Are you looking for Vice President Xi?" Someone else said: "Vice President Xi doesn't have that name." "Who else has the surname Xi?"

Seeing their hesitation, Old Man Xi couldn't help but shout loudly: "You just need to find someone to report it. Where did all this nonsense come from!"

Seeing his recklessness, Li Jingfeng hurriedly greeted him and said, "This is the family member of your Vice-Commander Xi, who came from Wudang. If Vice-Commander Xi is not in the house, please tell me where to live."

The guard said: "Wait a minute, we will send someone to inform the deputy commander."

After a while, I saw a young strong man wearing ocher clothes, with a thick ponytail tied on the back of his head, a pointed mouth and a flat nose. He looked a bit like old man Xi. He ran out sweating profusely. Old Man Xi hurriedly shouted: "Dad!"

Old Man Xi cursed: "He finally came out! He thought he didn't recognize me as his father!"

I heard the guards talking among themselves. Some people laughed and said, "Vice President Xi, so your name is Big Dog Xi?" Another person laughed and said, "That's a good name. It sounds friendly."

The young man's face turned red and he pretended to be angry: "If you keep chattering, I'll put you on night shift for a month!" Several guards quickly shouted that they didn't dare, but they laughed and seemed to have a harmonious relationship.

The young strong man complained to his father: "My name here is Xi Donghu. I have been traveling around the world with this name for several years. Don't call me a big dog."

Old Man Xi rolled his eyes and scolded: "You are such a disobedient kid that you even want to change the name given by your father! A big dog is a big dog. What a winter tiger and autumn tiger. Just change your name to Xia Hu! If someone scolds you in the future, Just say, who are you trying to scare?"

After hearing this, the guards couldn't help laughing. Li Jingfeng also couldn't help laughing and persuaded: "Old sir, please listen to your master's arrangements first."

Xi Dagou said to the guard: "Palace Master Xiao or Commander Shi came to see me and said that my father is here and asked for leave to go home." He then said to Li Jingfeng, "Can you please drive." Li Jingfeng was startled, knowing that he had been mistaken for a bodyguard, and then Seeing Big Dog Xi holding Old Xi's hand, he said, "Dad, I'll help you get into the car." Old Man Xi cursed, "I'm not lame yet!" After saying this, he still allowed his son to help him get into the car.

This big dog Xi did really well in Songshan. He built a big house with two entrances, a carriage could enter through the door, and he also hired two servants.Old Xi's eyebrows were beaming, but he said: "It's okay, it's quite spacious." Li Jingfeng helped unload the luggage and sent it to the inner room. When he entered Old Xi's room, he heard the faint sound of grasshoppers.Old Man Xi was overjoyed when he saw four earthen jars placed on the bookcase. He hurriedly went to take a look, and sure enough, each contained a cricket.

Seeing that all the crickets were weak, Old Man Xi cursed: "It's already the beginning of winter, and the crickets have no energy and can't fight!"

Xi Dagou said helplessly: "I bought them a few months ago. They are all good seeds. I didn't know that it took you several months to come..."

Old Man Xi scolded: "Everything is my fault!" After a while, he added, "You can still scream, it's good. I can sleep well at night." Then he added, "There is nothing wrong with this house. Take me to see it." field."

Xi Dagou frowned and asked, "What field?"

Old Man Xi stamped his feet and cursed: "Fields! All the fields in my hometown have been sold. How can we eat without growing crops? And, where is my wife? How old are you and you haven't married a wife yet? Do you really want to make your father angry to death?"

Xi Dagou said: "I earn five taels of silver a month here, so what else can I farm? Dad, please save your money for old age. I am engaged to Commander Qiu's daughter. We will get married in the spring next year. I will give birth to a grandson for you to take care of. Don't worry about it." heart of."

Old Man Xi scolded again: "Even the fields are gone, it's not a big deal! If you die without leaving any land, let your children and grandchildren drink from the northwest wind? Have you seen your wife? How is your character? Can you have children? Why do you have to be alone? When you propose marriage, people think you have no father to support you, which is embarrassing! Also, I have no time to take care of your son since he is raising his own son!"

Xi Dagou frowned and said, "You haven't said anything nice since I entered the house. You keep scolding your son in front of outsiders. Isn't it fun?"

Old Man Xi scolded: "Why am I just scolding you? Ah? It's a great job to get a job. I don't care about giving birth to you, right?"

Xi Dagou said angrily: "If I don't raise you, why would I pick you up? Let you raise that one-third of an acre of farmland, and the old farm cow will be exhausted!"

Old Man Xi scolded: "If you can, throw me to Wudang to starve to death and let the neighbors know that I gave birth to an unfilial son!"

Xi Dagou said: "If I am unfilial, you will scold me and run away! I will scold me for everything I do, even when I am learning martial arts, and when I go out. On the first day of the new year, I will scold me even when I drink Laba. Aunt Zhang and Zhao across from me say I am pitiful." !”

Old Man Xi scolded: "Okay, why did Zhang Poxie appoint me?! You should learn from Old Man Qian's son and serve his father attentively every day!"

Xi Dagou said: "If Grandpa Qian scolded his son like you, Uncle Qian would have thrown him into the pit and drowned him!"

Old Man Xi scolded: "I know you are thinking about harming me. From now on, I will go to the latrine and light more oil lamps!"

When Li Jingfeng saw the father and son arguing in front of him, he felt funny and embarrassed at the same time, so he quickly tried to persuade them.Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Xi Dagou frowned, thinking that his father owed the escort money. He stretched out his hand and weighed it in his sleeves, and asked, "Why haven't you left yet? Didn't my father pay the escort money? How much?"

Old Man Xi scolded: "Be polite! This is a guest!"

Li Jingfeng saw Xi Dagou's puzzled expression and said hurriedly: "My Excellency, Li Jingfeng, is here to pay homage to Xiao Qing, the old Master Xiao."

Xi Dagou said in surprise: "You are looking for Hall Master Xiao?" He shook his head and said, "Who are you? Hall Master Xiao can't just meet him. Do you know him?"

Old Man Xi scolded: "If it hadn't been for him, your father would have been tricked along the way! What kind of deputy commander have you become? Is it difficult to help him arrange a meeting with someone?"

Xi Dagou said: "Hall Master Xiao is the son-in-law of the head of the clan. Many people want to harm him, so it is not appropriate to introduce him casually."

Li Jingfeng knew that there would be difficulties, so he took out the Qingcheng document and said: "Just say that I am the envoy of Qingcheng, Hall Master Xiao will be willing to see me."

Xi Dagou took the document and asked his father how he met Li Jingfeng, and then said: "Wait a moment, I will take you to see Hall Master Xiao."

※ ※ ※

Li Jingfeng followed Xi Dagou into the Songshan Courtyard, checked that the documents were correct, and then let him go.He walked around for half an hour before arriving at the execution hall.Li Jingfeng saw a young man inside, in his early thirties, wearing a maroon brocade robe, with a sharp chin, a high nose, and a heroic look between his brows.He had heard that Xiao Qinggu had married the daughter of the head of Songshan Mountain in white clothes, and thought: "It turns out that with such a character, it's no wonder that the head of Songshan is favored."

But why didn't he just sit in a chair and do business, instead he collapsed on a recliner, crossed his legs high, held an official document in his left hand, and a pen in his right hand. There was a paperweight and inkstone on the desk beside him, which he dipped in cinnabar to mark. Is it because he has a disability?
Xiao Qinggu read Qingcheng's document, touched her chin and asked doubtfully: "Songshan is not the Nine Great Families, why did Qingcheng send you here?" He added, "If it is about the recent affairs in Huashan, there is no need to communicate with Songshan. "

When Li Jingfeng heard about Huashan, he couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Is there something going on between Huashan and Qingcheng?" He thought about it and thought that Yan Xuancheng had proposed to his younger sister. It was expected that the wedding date had been set. He felt sad and still asked, "The two families Got married?"

Xiao Qing said: "It's not enough to make enemies. Qingcheng sent people to raid the boat bandits on the Han River. They said that the boat bandits had committed a major crime agreed upon by Kunlun. They also arrested people and forced them to confess whether there was someone behind them. They also sent all Shaanxi merchants and escorts to They have all been driven out of Ba County and Sichuan. Qingcheng strangles the Yangtze River road and is stuck in eastern Guizhou. Shaanxi merchants will have a hard time."

Li Jingfeng was greatly surprised, and thought that Yan Feixi had captured his second brother in Wudang, and Qingcheng should take the opportunity to take revenge.I thought that Yan Xangcheng proposed marriage and Qingcheng would take this opportunity to make good friends with Huashan. However, he didn't expect the situation to develop to this point and asked, "What does this have to do with Songshan Mountain?"

Xiao Qing said: "Huashan and Songshan have good relations, don't you know?"

This was really beyond Li Jingfeng's expectation. Xiao Qinggu saw that he often looked surprised and that he didn't dress like a messenger, so she asked, "Why are you here if not for these things?"

Li Jingfeng said: "I'm here to summon you, about Jiang Da and his wife..."

Just as he mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Da, Xiao Qinggu interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute." She turned to Xi Dagou and said, "Donghu, this is none of your business. Your father just came to Songshan. He has a day off today and is with you." your dad."

Xi Dagou asked: "What about Brother Li?"

Xiao Qing said, "I can entertain you, so go ahead."

Xi Dagou saluted and left, closing the door. Only then did Xiao Qinggu ask, "What's wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Jiang?"

Li Jingfeng told Xiao Qinggu about Zhu Menshang's encounter with Jiang Da and his wife, saying that Jiang Da and his wife had gone to Wudang. Xiao Qinggu sighed after hearing this.

Li Jingfeng asked: "Mr. Xiao, is the person who gave Dr. Zhu Cai Lebazi really a person from the night list?"

Xiao Qinggu shrugged and said, "Isn't this a redundant question? Can I, a son-in-law of Songshan, say that he knows Ye Bang? If you want to know the secret, I won't kill you to silence you?"

Li Jingfeng was taken aback and said, "Is it so serious?"

"Otherwise? In Songshan, if there is anything more serious than the Night List, it is the Songgao League." Xiao Qing said, "If you don't say this, why are you here just to spread this sentence two years ago?"

"There is one more thing my elder brother asked me to ask you." Li Jingfeng asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Qinggu almost jumped up from the chair, no, he had already jumped up.I saw his butt leave the recliner, fly up, roll in the air, thrust his feet sideways, fall in front of Li Jingfeng, grabbed Li Jingfeng's collar, and asked in shock: "Have you seen that monster?!"

Li Jingfeng frowned, vaguely feeling that neither his eldest brother nor the young master Xiao in front of him liked Brother Ming. He nodded and said, "I met a bandit on the Han River, and it was Brother Ming who saved me."

Xiao Qinggu asked again: "What is your eldest brother's name? What does he do?"

Li Jingfeng said: "Xie Gubai, now Qingcheng will serve as my second brother's staff."

Xiao Qinggu asked again: "Who is your second brother?"

Li Jingfeng said: "It's Mr. Shen, the prince of Qingcheng."

Xiao Qinggu scratched the back of her head and looked at Li Jingfeng: "Are you Mr. Shen's adopted brother?" He saw that Li Jingfeng was dressed simply and plainly, and his coat was washed white. He didn't look like the brother of the Prince of Qingcheng. He thought for a moment He said, "Xie Gubai, this name sounds familiar." Suddenly an idea flashed and he said in surprise, "It turns out to be him!"

Li Jingfeng asked: "What's wrong?"

Just as Xiao Qinggu was about to say more, someone knocked on the door and said: "Master Xiao, the master invites you to discuss matters."

Xiao Qinggu shouted: "Come in!"

A guard opened the door and walked in. Xiao Qinggu said to Li Jingfeng, "I still have something to do. I'll stay at my house today and chat slowly in the evening." He then ordered the guard, "Take him to Songyunju and explain to Madam that this is You are my distinguished guest, please treat me well." After that, he went on his way.

Li Jingfeng followed the guard around a large circle and walked into a manor. He saw strange trees and fusu, lush flowers and plants, and smelled a delicate fragrance in his nose. Then he saw a hall.The guard told Li Jingfeng to stay at the door and go in to report.A maid came out, and the two talked for a while. The guard waved Li Jingfeng over, and Li Jingfeng followed the maid into the hall.The maid asked Li Jingfeng to sit down and said, "Madam will be here later. Please wait a moment, Master."

After a while, two maids came up carrying plates. One plate contained four-color candied fruits, and the other plate contained four plates of fruits, all of which were picked in season.Li Jingfeng stood up hurriedly and said: "No need to entertain, I will wait for Mr. Xiao to come back."

The maid said: "You're welcome, sir, please wait a moment." After saying that, she withdrew.

Li Jingfeng picked two golden jujubes and ate them. They felt fresh and sweet in the mouth. He was bored with waiting. He didn't know when Xiao Qinggu would come back, so he took a few sugar-frosted peanuts and chewed them.After taking a few bites, he realized that there were chopsticks and toothpicks beside him. He immediately felt rude, but luckily there was no one around.

At this time, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out of the inner hall. Li Jingfeng saw that she was wearing a butterfly flower brocade dress, an aqua shawl, her long hair was tied into a bunch randomly, hanging down on her waist, and she had big round eyes. She looked very... She was delicate and pretty. She stood up quickly and said, "Li Jingfeng, I have met Mrs. Xiao." But he thought in his heart: "Mr. Xiao's wife is too young." But then he thought again, "Maybe it's because of the pretense."

After the division of the Jiu Families, the age of marriage was later than in the old dynasty. Generally, people got married around the age of eighteen or nineteen, and there were some who were older than sixteen or seventeen. Only the girls of the princes of famous families got married later, and they were somewhat up for grabs. Andgu means.Li Jingfeng saw that Xiao Qinggu was already over thirty, so he expected his wife to be in her early twenties, but he didn't expect her to be so young.

Mrs. Xiao looked Li Jingfeng up and down, and suddenly glanced at his hands. Li Jingfeng noticed that his fingers were still stained with icing sugar, as if he had been caught as a thief. His face turned red, and he hurriedly hid his hands behind his back and pinched the corners of his clothes. wipe.

Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything and walked forward. She was half a head shorter than Li Jingfeng and raised her head to look up into Li Jingfeng's eyes.Li Jingfeng only thought that Mrs. Xiao was extremely weird. Seeing that she was so close and could hear her breathing, he quickly held his breath and took a step back and said: "Young Master Xiao invited me here. Don't blame me for offending you. If Madam feels rude, I will retreat to Just wait outside the hall."

"Blue." Mrs. Xiao pursed her lips and shook her head, "No."

Li Jingfeng looked around him. Where could he find anything blue?Confused: "What blue one?"

"Your aura!" Mrs. Xiao frowned, pressed her head with four fingers of her hands, and pressed her thumbs on her temples.Staring at Li Jingfeng, he looked like a fortune teller selling gold tips on the street who was trying to trick someone, and said, "I can see people's spiritual colors. You are light blue and have no spirituality at all."

Li Jingfeng was puzzled and asked: "What is spiritual color?"

Mrs. Xiao said: "Lingse is...have you read Han Yu's "Peony Song"?"

Li Jingfeng shook his head and said, "No."

Mrs. Xiao whispered: "None of these, no wonder you have low spiritual color! Spiritual color is a person from the inside to the outside, including spirituality, essence, energy, spirit, chance, destiny, connotation, character, intelligence, wisdom, ambition, Character... In short, the sum of all the things that cannot be seen in you is your spiritual color. This spiritual color surrounds you and comes out from your facial features, especially your eyes. The best spiritual color is purple. Like my brother-in-law, sooner or later he will be the best among men. My father is a bit worse, he only has gold color, and he will be subordinate to others in this life. As for you, you are too bad, only a little higher than the worst green, top At most, he is a bodyguard who protects the courtyard and strives to reach the top. At best, he is a small commander."

Mrs. Xiao didn't speak, but she spoke in a string of words. Li Jingfeng listened to her eloquent and confident words, and was half-convinced, thinking: "I was originally a waiter in a shop, and I just wanted to be a waiter before." The cook has read very few books, has poor martial arts skills, and has no abilities. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is blue." He then asked: "How do you see this spiritual color? What are the grades?"

Mrs. Xiao said: "In terms of grade, it is green, blue, yellow, red, silver, gold and purple. As for how to look at it, this is a natural ability. I can tell whether this person is capable and promising since I was a child. Don't look at a farmer's child. From the first glance, he might be born with a golden spiritual color, and he will definitely have a lot of potential in the future. Don't look at some people who are born in a noble family and have green hair all over their body, which is very tacky. "

Li Jingfeng nodded frequently and said: "I see." He thought again: "In this way, the eldest brother, second brother, and younger sister are well-read in poetry and books, are good at martial arts, polite, and have good backgrounds, so they should be purple. Brother Ming Of course, this kind of talent is also purple. Dr. Zhu has a wonderful rejuvenation. Although he likes to tease people, he is still a good person. He is either purple or gold. Brother Yang is a bit grumpy, but he is a righteous man, at least he is also golden. What color is the third master? ? Well... he always doesn't like to take a bath..." When I thought of this, I couldn't help but ask: "Is it black or gray?"

Mrs. Xiao was stunned, shook her head and said, "No."

Li Jingfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "I think so."

Mrs. Xiao added: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Li Jingfeng shook his head and said, "No more."

Mrs. Xiao asked: "Don't you want to ask how to change it for the better?"

Li Jingfeng asked: "Is there any need to change?"

Mrs. Xiao said: "No, it's innate. Read more, cultivate yourself, and at most you can improve yourself to a higher level. That's blue with yellow in it, but it's not all yellow. If I look at you carefully, your blue color is not originally blue. , it should be said that it turned from green to blue, but there is too much blue, and there is a little green mixed in. It shows that you are diligent and conscientious, and you have turned the green into blue."

Li Jingfeng said happily: "It seems that my hard work has improved somewhat."

Mrs. Xiao asked doubtfully: "Do you believe it?"

Li Jingfeng said: "What you said makes so much sense, so I naturally believed it."

Mrs. Xiao asked again: "I said you are blue and very humble, and you are not angry?"

Li Jingfeng said: "It is what it is, why are you angry?"

Mrs. Xiao nodded and said: "Oh, it's good that you can accept your fate...I..."

Suddenly I heard a soft and gentle voice asking: "Yinzheng, what are you talking about with the guest?"

Li Jingfeng turned around and saw another young woman approaching.She was seen wearing a dark green plain brocade dress, with her hair tied up in a fairy bun, a green jade hairpin, a face with oval seeds and big eyes. She was somewhat similar to "Mrs. Xiao", only more delicate.

The beautiful lady gathered her skirt and bowed, saying, "I'm a humble concubine, Mrs. Su. I wonder what you call me?"

Li Jingfeng was stunned and looked at "Mrs. Xiao" from before, not knowing how to reply.

※ ※ ※

"Destroy them! What else is there to say? Just destroy them!" The strong man with a curly beard and curly hair roared angrily.Xiao Qinggu really regretted sitting opposite Zhao Dazhou, the saliva almost sprayed on her face.No, some of it had already sprayed into the tea cup in front of him. He saw with his own eyes a gentle ripple on the surface of the tea. Not only was it not beautiful, it was also extremely disgusting.

"Mr. Zhao, even if we want to destroy them, we have to find where they are before we can take action." Xiao Qing asked, "Do you know where they are?"

"You have to find out even if you scrape the land! Check them one by one, check them piece by piece, and kill each one you find!" Zhao Dazhou said, "Wait until I raise my sword and chop him off the horse!"

"Okay, I don't necessarily need to ride a horse." Xiao Qing said, "Song Gaomeng has no tattoos on his face. The interrogation is just to disturb the people."

"It's the second time this month." The old man with thin cheeks and thick long braids that were half gray and half white counted on his fingers. "In succession, last month's Shuanglongmen Sect Master, last month's Donghua Temple Yantai Deputy Patrolman, deputy leader of the Red Star Gang, nine sect leaders have died in Songshan in the past six months, and they all do not support Shaosong's separation." He is the deputy leader Qin Kunyang, Kunyang is his Taoist name, and he is also the current leader of the Taishan Sect. Qin Boyang's biological brother.

"You bitch, you hate Shaolin and go beheading monks. What are you doing to behead your own brothers?!" Zhao Dazhou said angrily, "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey!"

"After all, they are the people of Songshan, they just took the wrong path." Qin Kunyang said, "How many people from the Songgao League have been killed in the past 50 years, and when did the Songgao League really be destroyed? I have the same idea as Hall Master Xiao. It would be better to crusade. Recruitment."

"I didn't say to recruit people," Xiao Qing said, "Let's hear what Elder Lu thinks first."

Elder Lu said: "It's better to recruit him, it's better to recruit him. If he doesn't surrender, it's better to kill him. I think it's better to recruit him first, and then kill him if he doesn't surrender."

Elder Lu's full name is Lu Kaiting, and he is one of the four elders. His family was a wealthy businessman, and he joined the Camping Affairs Department in Songshan responsible for construction, labor and other matters.He is very careful about money, but other things... Somehow, although the appearance is different, Xiao Qinggu always feels that Zhao Dazhou looks like the golden-haired lion, Abbot Jueji, while Elder Lu looks more and more like the leader of Zide. In the end, Is this the virtue of a businessman, or are they really related by blood?
"That's all fucking nonsense!" The old voice was full of force.Xiao Qing thought, it was expected that her father would finally curse.

"I'm asking you to think of a solution, not how to deal with it! If they continue to cause trouble like this, in a few years my head, Su Changning's, will not be hanging on the wall of Jinan?!"

Su Yilin, who was standing behind Su Changning, said softly: "Dad, I haven't figured out how to deal with it, how can I think of a solution?"

Zhao Dazhou said: "I will lead a group of people to search Shandong. If there are suspects, they will be arrested first and then interrogated. If proven, they will be killed. This is what we did before!"

Xiao Qinggu frowned.He then heard Qin Kunyang say: "I think it is only a matter of time before the Shaosong family is separated. In recent years, the dispute between Shaolin's orthodoxy and customs has been fierce, and its strength is far less than it was back then. After all, the Songgao League is one of our own. I advise them to be patient, and maybe come back again." In ten or twenty years, there will be no need to start a war with Shaolin, Songshan will become one of the top ten major schools of its own."

Xiao Qing asked: "Shaosong has to be a spoiler?"

Qin Kunyang said: "The five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period can become the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Could it be that if the three families are divided into Jin, Han, Zhao and Wei will not be able to survive?"

Xiao Qing said, "But in the end they were all destroyed by Qin."

Su Changning frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Xiao Qing said: "There is only one way to deal with it. Killing important people in the sect is a death penalty. These people disrupt the security of Songshan Mountain. If we let them go, wouldn't it make them more unscrupulous?"

Zhao Dazhou laughed loudly and said, "That's right! Spare the lives of these bastards and bite them again!"

Qin Kunyang asked: "Hall Master Xiao used to advocate persuasion, but today he said he wanted to kill him?"

Xiao Qing said: "In the past, I did not make a big mistake, but now I will be executed if I break the law. But we can only punish the first culprit, and not the rest. If we kill the people from Songgao League who are caught, we will only kill these people." If we are in a desperate situation, it is better to be open-minded, encourage them to surrender, and forget about the culprits. When they have internal conflicts, someone will naturally come out to report them."

Zhao Dazhou said: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Qing said: "It means standing still."

Zhao Dazhou cursed: "It's not like we didn't do anything!"

Xiao Qinggu smiled and said: "Doing nothing means not knowing what to do. Knowing what to do is just doing nothing. That is different."

Zhao Dazhou said: "Only you can say it!"

Su Changning was upset when he heard their argument, and shouted: "Stop arguing!" He then said, "If there is no other way, let's break up today."

Zhao Dazhou wanted to talk again, but Xiao Qing said the same thing: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that Ma Shengsheng sang "Crossing the Five Passes" at Laolv Hutong tonight. Don't you want to go and listen?" Zhao Dazhou said "Oh," and stood up hurriedly and said: " Chief, Zhao has nothing else to say!”

Su Changning said: "Let's break up then."

Everyone stood up and left, but Xiao Qinggu just stood up but made no move.Knowing that he had something to say, Su Changning sat down again, and Su Yilin stood aside.

"What else is there?" Su Changning asked.

"Dad, sworn brother, these things are unusual." Xiao Qing said, "Shaosong's family separation has been quarreling for more than fifty years, and everyone has different ideas. People after the Shaosong dispute have different opinions. I am Shaolin I talk too much about my background, and people think I am speaking for Shaolin. But in the final analysis, if the Songshan family is divided because of Shaosong, there will be no capital to separate the family. Whether it is divided or not, everyone must have their own strength. "

Su Changning nodded and said: "I trust you. Although you are from Shaolin, everything you do is for the good of Songshan, otherwise you wouldn't..." When he said this, he suddenly changed his mouth and said, "Promote you to be the leader of the torture hall. .”

Xiao Qinggu naturally knew why his father-in-law hesitated to speak, and only said: "In the past few years, Songshan has been much calmer due to appeasement and reconciliation. The people of Songshan have long been accustomed to it, and the people of the Songgao League have not done anything. How come Songshan has been quiet for more than a year?" The alliance took frequent actions, killing more than [-] important people who did not support Shaosong's separation?"

Su Yilin suddenly said: "Because few people have mentioned the separation of the Shaosong family in the past few years. In the past few years, Songshan has been weak. In recent years, Shaolin has had fierce internal strife and the control over us has been loosened, but few people have mentioned this matter. ”

He is the captain of the bodyguard. He rarely speaks, but he is very smart and alert. It is a waste of talent for such a talented person with both civil and military skills to only serve as the captain of the bodyguard.

Xiao Qing said: "This assassination will not change Songshan after all. I suspect that the Songgao League is preparing to plan a big event, and we must strengthen our vigilance."

Su Changning nodded and said, "I understand."

※ ※ ※

Hold!Why are you so tired from meetings?Xiao Qinggu only felt tired.Worried about the unknown matter, he quickly returned to Songyunju, found Li Jingfeng in the hall, and said, "Long wait."

Li Jingfeng stood up quickly and said, "No."

After Xiao Qinggu said hello, she sat on the chair as if paralyzed.Mrs. Su walked out of the inner room and asked her maid to bring some water for soaking her feet. Xiao Qing said as usual: "Prepare a basin for the guests as well."

Li Jingfeng quickly refused, but Xiao Qing said: "I'm staying here today, so take off your shoes." After saying that, someone also filled a basin of water.Li Jingfeng couldn't refuse, so he had to take off his shoes and socks to soak his feet. As expected, he felt refreshed and thought to himself: "So soaking your feet in hot water is so comfortable!"

Mrs. Su pinched Xiao Qinggu's shoulder twice and said, "It's time to eat later. I've had the room cleaned."

Xiao Qinggu held Su's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work!"

After a while, Xiao Qinggu asked Li Jingfeng to change into his casual shoes and invited him to eat. Li Jingfeng saw four sets of bowls and chopsticks placed on the table.Su asked: "Mr. Li, did my sister say anything strange to you today?"

Li Jingfeng said: "No, it's just...I...Oh, it's okay." He mistook Su Yinzheng for the Su family and was quite embarrassed.

Xiao Qinggu smiled and asked, "What color are you?"

Li Jingfeng was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Green turns blue..."

Xiao Qinggu laughed loudly, and Su Shi also covered her mouth and smiled.Xiao Qinggu patted Li Jingfeng on the shoulder and said, "Don't take it too seriously. My sister is just naughty and loves to joke."

"Who is naughty?" Su Yinzheng walked in, pouting, obviously very unhappy, and said, "When I first saw my brother-in-law, I said he was purple. Look, isn't it right now? Dad also said that he is purple. You have the ability!" As he said this, he pressed his thumbs on the top of his ears and covered the top of his head with his four fingers. He glared at Li Jingfeng and said, "I can really see the spirit! Don't believe my brother-in-law. He is good at everything except his vision. Bad. He turned from gold to purple, not born purple. He has some minor problems."

Xiao Qinggu smiled bitterly and said, "How could I be wrong again?"

Su Yinzheng pouted and said, "Obviously I found you, but you didn't marry me, but you married my sister!"

Xiao Qing said, "You were only nine years old at that time!"

Su Yinzheng snorted and said, "You will suffer a loss if you are impatient!"

Xiao Qinggu and Su Shi suppressed their laughter, and Li Jingfeng couldn't help but smile.Xiao Qing said: "Yes, you have suffered a loss! Aunt Tianyan, let's eat!"

※ ※ ※

After dinner, Xiao Qing invited Li Jingfeng to the study to talk. Li Jingfeng asked: "I saw many interrogations on the Songshan Road, and heard about the Songgao League, Mr. Xiao, what is going on with the Songgao League, and why is it here in Songshan?" So arrogant?"

"They are all disciples of Songshan Mountain." Xiao Qing said: "'Songshan Mountain is as high as the sky, as high as the sky.' The saying comes from "The Book of Songs·Daya", which means that Songshan Mountain is higher than the sky. This group of people hope that Songshan Mountain can stand on its own outside of Shaolin. , becoming the tenth largest group. There are many people who have this idea, but their methods are ruthless and extreme, and they often assassinate those who oppose them, which has become a hidden worry in Songshan."

Li Jingfeng said, "Why didn't you kill Shaolin people instead of killing your own people? Well, I'm not saying that the Shaolin people deserve to die, but I just killed my own people first. This is too weird."

"According to what they said, this is about uniting internally first, and then working together externally." Xiao Qing said, "I said it was all nonsense!"

Li Jingfeng also felt that this argument did not make sense. How could he deal with foreign enemies when his own people were weakened?Then he said, "Even if you want to kill those who oppose you, their relatives, family members, and children, what mistake did they make? Why do you want to implicate innocent people?"

"They don't feel innocent, they just feel that these family members are also accomplices." Xiao Qing said, "They are not targeting one person, they are targeting everyone who does not support them. If you do not support them, you are opposed. If you oppose, you will die."

"This is too self-righteous!" Li Jingfeng said dissatisfied, hating Songgao Meng even more.

Xiao Qing said, "Let's not talk about this. First, let's talk about how you know Ming Wu."

When Li Jingfeng heard him change the topic, he talked about the bandits on the ship, how he knew Yang Yan and how Ming was unknown. However, he concealed the incident of stealing pills in Wudang later and only said that Xie Gubai pointed him to ask him about Ming's unknown.

Xiao Qinggu nodded and asked, "Did he say anything to you that made you...become bad?"

Li Jingfeng shook his head and said, "No."

Xiao Qinggu pondered for a long time and took out a book from the bottom of the bookcase.There was a layer of dust on the book, obviously it had not been read for a long time.Xiao Qing said: "Before I came to Songshan, I was a monk in the Shaolin Temple. My Buddhist name was Liao Jing. I was the commentator monk of the Sutra Pavilion. My master was Jueru, the abbot of the White Horse Temple. Speaking of my master, I haven't seen him for two or three years. , I wonder if his old man is in good health..." After a while, he murmured to himself, "I see that he is in good health, so I'd better not worry about him."

He sat on a recliner, looked at the ceiling, thoughtfully, and said slowly: "That was seven...eight years ago. I saw a strange thing in a book called "Nianhua Fingering". .”

He recounted the past, how he discovered that Ming was unknown, and how he was forced out of Shaolin because of Ben Song and his wife. Finally, he met Xie Gubai and followed their guidance to Songshan Mountain.

Li Jingfeng was stunned when he heard this. This plot was bizarre. He couldn't believe that that handsome young man who seemed innocent and harmless could have such a vicious heart?I couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xiao, what you said is too... too magical... Do you have any evidence?"

Xiao Qinggu handed the book to Li Jingfeng and said, "This is the diary he wrote in imitation of my handwriting. You can also say that I forged it, but what's the benefit of me harming him?"

Li Jingfeng read the diary and still found it unbelievable, but when he recalled Gan Tiejiang's family, it seemed that they coincided with each other. He also recalled that it was dark under the cabin that day, and when he heard the unidentified words, there was something indescribably weird. Feeling, now that I think about it, it was probably because Ming's tone was unexpectedly calm, but there was no trace of ripples in this dangerous situation. The tone that was close to "disguise" was the reason why he felt weird.

Then Yang Yan escaped from prison but was poisoned with erysipelas that made him worse than death. Could it be that it was Mingwu's fault?Thinking of this, he felt chills all over his body. He wanted to believe it but couldn't believe it. He asked, "Why didn't you expose him?"

Xiao Qinggu smiled bitterly and said: "I am a Shaolin traitor, and he is Abbot Juejian's favorite disciple. I have no evidence, how can I expose him?" He sighed and said, "I just hope that his martial arts will not improve too fast. After thinking for a while, he added, "I have been very diligent in the past few years. If he hadn't learned the Yi Jin Jing, maybe I..."

When Li Jingfeng heard the three words "Yi Jin Jing", his heart suddenly jumped and he asked: "Is it very difficult to learn Yi Jin Jing?"

Xiao Qing said: "This is an inner skill and mind method that can only be practiced by the abbots of the Eighth Halls of the Four Courts. It is one of the two great magical skills of Shaolin along with the Marrow Cleansing Sutra."

Li Jingfeng said in surprise: "So, brother Ming can't learn the Yi Jin Jing?"

Xiao Qing said, "Of course."

Li Jingfeng said: "But he knows it, does this count as evidence?"

Xiao Qinggu was stunned for a moment, and then Li Jingfeng told him about Yang Yan and that he had taught him the Yi Jin Jing.

"I didn't learn secretly, I only heard a little bit. I practice and play when I have nothing to do, which is quite helpful." Li Jingfeng said, "As long as I report this matter to the Shaolin abbot, can he be convicted?"

The corner of Xiao Qinggu's mouth twitched slightly, not as a surprise, but as if she heard something she least wanted to hear. After a while, she said: "The Yi Jin Jing is a taboo in Shaolin. Those who have learned it will have their hands amputated at the least. The feet will be crippled for life and imprisoned, and neither you nor your brother Yang will be spared."

Li Jingfeng was taken aback and said, "I didn't mean to learn..."

Xiao Qinggu smiled bitterly and said, "I did it on purpose."

This time it was Li Jingfeng who was surprised.

Xiao Qinggu continued: "I left Shaolin, thinking that it would not be easy to deal with the unknown in the future. I asked my master to pass on the Yi Jin Jing to me through hard work. I just didn't think..." He paced back and forth, looking very irritable. , "I only want to learn the Yi Jin Jing. If he doesn't have superior internal skills, I will have a chance to beat him. But now...now...his understanding is extremely high. I'm afraid the gap is even bigger than seven years ago, and there is no chance of winning."

Li Jingfeng said again: "You said that Shaolin Temple has two major magical arts. In addition to Yi Jin Jing, doesn't it also have a Marrow Cleansing Jing? Can you win if you learn it?"

Xiao Qinggu shook his head and said: "First of all, it's not just about learning a lot of internal skills. Being good at one is better than miscellaneous skills. Secondly, do you know why the Yi Jin Jing is spread but the Marrow Cleansing Jing is lost? These two skills, Yi Jin Jing The Sutra is easy to learn but difficult to master, but the Marrow Cleansing Sutra is easy to master and difficult to learn. Over the past hundreds of years, many people have been unable to grasp the threshold. Over time, this has been lost. Thirdly, people say that learning martial arts depends on talent, but in fact it depends more on fate. , there are some martial arts that you can master as soon as you learn them, and you will be perfect in a while, and there are some martial arts that you can’t learn well. I heard that the Marrow Cleansing Sutra depends more on fate than the Yi Jin Jing. Fourth, even if I want to learn it, I can’t find it now. This is the book."

Li Jingfeng was very disappointed when he heard what he said, but he believed that there was something wrong with the unknown. Otherwise, if he was so young, who would have taught him the Yi Jin Jing?
But then I thought about it, maybe just like myself and Yang Yan, it was actually a secret message from Jijian?In his heart, he vaguely didn't want Mingwu to be the monster Xiao Qinggu said he was, and he always wanted to find a reason to excuse him.

Xiao Qing said: "Thank you for sending me this news. I will help you if I can help you in Songshan from now on." Then he said, "It's the second watch, so you can go to bed first. I have a free room here, you can You can stay as long as you want.”

※ ※ ※

Li Jingfeng lit a lamp in the room and sat down at the table, thinking about the unknown things Xiao Qinggu said today, which were so absurd and bizarre, unbelievable, but unable to explain or justify them.

But if it was true, should he kill Ming Ming?He, Ming Wuxiang and Yang Yan had shared many hardships together, and although their acquaintance was short, their friendship was deep.In the battle in the cabin, it was unknown who saved his life, but he really didn't want to use weapons against him.He also thought, since his martial arts is so bad, he wouldn't be able to beat Ming Muji after another 20 years of training, so why should he consider this?

What if Xiao Qinggu asks for help?And if you have the ability to kill Mingming, should you kill him or not?If you know that the other person has harmed others, or will harm others in the future, but you sit back and do nothing, you are also an accomplice, and these lives will have your own stake in the future.

He thought about it over and over, and finally came up with one sentence: He was far inferior to Ming Wuxiang, and it was useless to think about it.Together with this thought, I thought that I was weak and useless.Now that the matter in Songshan is over, why not resign tomorrow and go to Kunlun to practice martial arts in the secret place guided by my elder brother.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice when the oil lamp went out. He was about to go to bed when he saw a vague shadow hiding behind the rockery outside the window, trying to climb over the wall by stepping on the rockery.

At this time, the moonlight reflected the silvery light in the courtyard. The figure was far away from the room and most people could not see clearly. However, Li Jingfeng had excellent eyesight. He immediately became suspicious and quickly followed out, only to see that the figure had climbed over the wall.

Li Jingfeng followed suit, stepped on the rockery, jumped up, put his hands on the top of the wall, and climbed over the wall.Although he practiced the Yi Jin Jing for less than a month and only had two basic cycles, his mind was clear and he was free from greed, anger and delusion. Learning Buddhist mental methods was the most suitable. Li Jingfeng only felt that he was light and healthy, and his physical strength had improved. Although he can't jump across as lightly as Mr. San, he can climb several walls in a row without any problem.

He climbed over the wall and saw that figure walking forward quickly, but who was it if it wasn't Su Yinzheng?Li Jingfeng saw her carrying a small package and thought: "What is the second lady doing over the wall in the middle of the night? Is it possible that she wants to have a private meeting with her lover? She is carrying a baggage, is she going to elope or run away from home? Should I go forward to dissuade her or go back? Tell Xiao Qing the story, or should you go along?"

He was hesitant in his heart. Seeing Su Yinzheng stepping on a tree and climbing over a wall, he had no choice but to follow quickly.When they reached the third wall, Su Yinzheng found a tree and was about to climb over it when Li Jingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "Second Miss!"

This slap frightened Su Yinzheng out of his wits, and he almost yelled. He turned around hurriedly, recognized Li Jingfeng, and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "It's scary! Why are you following me?"

Li Jingfeng said: "Second Miss, what are you doing?"

Su Yinzheng said: "Leave me alone, go back to sleep, I'm busy!" After saying that, he climbed up the branch again.

Li Jingfeng asked: "Where are you going?"

Su Yinzheng said: "Don't mind your own business! Alas!" She jumped up, grabbed the wall with both hands, and climbed over again.Li Jingfeng had no choice but to follow Su Yinzheng and said, "If you don't tell me, I will inform Mr. Xiao!"

Su Yinzheng stopped and whispered: "Blue, if you inform your brother-in-law, I will scream and say that you lied to me and had evil intentions!"

Li Jingfeng didn't feel funny when he heard her calling him that, and whispered: "You climbed over three walls to get here, how can I trick you into coming out? The gate of Songyunju is guarded."

Su Yinzheng said: "I just want to draw, don't pester me!"

Li Jingfeng said: "Why don't Huahua tell Mr. Xiao or the head?"

Su Yinzheng said: "They don't let me go out at night!"

Li Jingfeng said: "Then you can paint during the day."

Su Yinzheng said: "Only today, only tonight can I draw!"

Li Jingfeng asked in confusion: "Why?"

Su Yinzheng said: "You only have blue, not silver, so you can't understand it! Painting depends on your mood! Beautiful things snap and disappear in a day. Just for today, if they are gone today, they will be gone in the future!"

Li Jingfeng thought to himself: "If you explain it this way, let alone silver, even purple will not be understood." So he said, "Can't you tell your brother-in-law and let him accompany you?"

Su Yinzheng said: "Brother-in-law is busy and lazy, so he has no time!" He then begged, "Only today! Let dad know, and he will definitely say, isn't today the same as tomorrow? Isn't tomorrow the same as the day after tomorrow? Wait until later By the time he agrees, the time has already passed! I already told dad, but he just won’t!"

Li Jingfeng asked: "What should you do if you are in danger?"

Su Yinzheng said: "Do you think the Songshan compound is the only one with guards around here? There is a curfew in Jinan City, and there are patrols on the streets. I have a token on my body, so I will not be banned. If you encounter danger, just shout and someone will come immediately. "He said again, "Let me go quickly, the patrol is coming!"

Seeing that she seemed really anxious, Li Jingfeng could only say, "Then I'll accompany you. At least you can feel at ease."

Su Yinzheng was stunned for a moment, but he was afraid that the guards would come, so he could only say: "Okay!"

She was about to climb the tree, but Li Jingfeng waved his hand, climbed over the wall, squatted on the top of the wall, and reached out to pull Su Yinzheng. This was much faster than Su Yinzheng climbing the wall by himself.

The two climbed over two more walls and arrived outside the Songshan Courtyard.Li Jingfeng asked: "Where to go next?"

Su Yinzheng pointed to a hill in the distance and said, "Go there."

Li Jingfeng frowned and said, "You didn't say it was very close. Why is it so far?"

Su Yinzheng stopped talking and walked quickly, and Li Jingfeng had no choice but to follow.

Sure enough, we saw a lot of patrols along the way. Although Su Yinzheng had the token, he didn't want to delay and turned left and right.Li Jingfeng saw that she would be caught sooner or later, so he said, "Follow me." He led the way.Although Su Yinzheng didn't believe him, he could only follow him.

Li Jingfeng's eyesight was good enough to see others before they saw him. With the bright moonlight tonight, he could see more clearly. He led Su Yinzheng to dodge left and right, as if he was in a deserted place.Su Yinzheng said in admiration: "How do you know where they are?"

Li Jingfeng said: "I can see it."

Su Yinzheng clicked his tongue in surprise.

The two walked for half an hour before they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that there were fewer patrols here, Li Jingfeng couldn't help asking: "There are no guards on the mountain. If you are in danger, wouldn't it be convenient to call for help?" Su Yinzheng ignored him and ran quickly. Going up the mountain, Li Jingfeng had no choice but to follow.

As Su Yinzheng walked towards the dangerous place, Li Jingfeng was afraid that she would be injured, so he closely guarded her behind her.After walking for another quarter of an hour, they suddenly heard Su Yinzheng wailing. Li Jingfeng was following behind. He couldn't see her condition and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Su Yinzheng said: "It rained heavily a few days ago, and there were landslides and there was no road!"

Li Jingfeng looked forward and saw gravel and mud spread out on the ground. It was really difficult to walk, so he said, "Let me help you open a way."

He walked forward and when he saw rocks and mud, he stretched out his feet and kicked them aside. If he encountered larger ones, he bent down to pick up the rocks and throw them away.Su Yinzheng followed behind, also helping to clear away some gravel, and it took half an hour to walk a distance of more than ten feet.

Su Yinzheng kept shouting anxiously: "It's too late!" Seeing her anxiety, Li Jingfeng quickened his pace and finally cleared a way.

Su Yinzheng reached the hillside, walked around a raised rock slab, and said happily: "This is it, just in time!"

The rock slab is about three feet wide. Although it is small, it is enough for two people to stand on.Su Yinzheng took out the drawing paper and brush from his bag, sat on the ground, looked at the moonlight, and began to draw.

When Li Jingfeng saw her starting to draw, he also sat on the ground. Only after sitting down did he realize why Su Yinzheng insisted on coming today.It turned out that there was a giant pine growing on the mountain wall to the left of the rock block. Half of the giant pine had dried up long ago, and its branches and leaves were sparse. However, two branches shot out horizontally. At this time, the moon was falling between the two horizontal branches, as if being caught. It was pinched between two dead branches.There is another boulder protruding at the bottom on the right side. If you look along, you can see the Songshan Courtyard in the middle and right of the center. It is a magnificent scene.If you come one day earlier or one day later, the position of the moon will change. Although it is generally not bad, it will inevitably lose a bit of flavor.

Li Jingfeng smiled and said: "The scenery is beautiful, no wonder you are clamoring to come."

Su Yinzheng asked: "Do you think it's beautiful?"

Li Jingfeng nodded and said no more for fear of disturbing Su Yinzheng's painting.

Su Yinzheng suddenly said: "I met my brother-in-law first."

Li Jingfeng said: "You were still young then."

While Su Yinzheng was drawing a picture, he said, "Did you know that I have an older brother?"

Li Jingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Su Yinzheng said: "My father gave birth to two daughters. He was afraid of having no offspring, so he adopted brother Yilin. Because he was afraid that people would say that he was acting for personal gain, brother Yilin only became the captain of the guard. In fact, he is very powerful, and his spiritual color is golden. A little worse than brother-in-law. And he likes his sister. Everyone knows that I was only nine years old at the time. I also know that although my sister only regards him as her brother, she will marry him sooner or later. "

Li Jingfeng listened quietly. This strange girl seemed to have many things on her mind.

"I was so happy when I met my brother-in-law. He has a purple spirit and is taller than my eldest brother and father. Ever since I was little, I couldn't compare to my sister in anything. My sister is prettier and smarter than me. She can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I thought, When I marry my brother-in-law, I will be able to win over her, but in the end..."

"You said Mrs. Xiao is better than you in everything?" Li Jingfeng asked, "Why didn't I see Mrs. Xiao here?"

Su Yinzheng was stunned.Li Jingfeng continued: "I guess Mrs. Xiao is not as good at painting as you."

Su Yinzheng continued to draw the picture and said: "As a result, my brother-in-law rose to prominence. He first became the master of the torture hall, and then married my sister. Do you think I'm angry or not?"

"I see that you like your sister and your brother-in-law very much. I guess you also like your eldest brother. You are sad because you hope that your eldest brother can marry your sister, and you think that no one will be sad."

Su Yinzheng was silent for a moment and said quietly: "Brother must hate me to death..."

Li Jingfeng smiled and said: "Actually, you don't like your brother-in-law. I guess your sister has known it for a long time. Otherwise, if she loves you so much, she will definitely not take it from you. If your elder brother really loves you, he won't blame you."

"No! It's hard to find someone with a purple spirit color!" Su Yinzheng snorted, "There isn't even one among 1 people! If I want to marry, I must marry a purple spirit color, so that I can surpass my sister!" "

"There's no need to force it, I'm also living quite well." Li Jingfeng felt that he was serious and couldn't help but laugh.

Su Yinzheng smiled and said: "For a person with a blue spirit, you are very good at comforting others. Don't be discouraged, many people are green. If you struggle for a long time, there will be a very, very low chance of turning into yellow."

Li Jingfeng smiled and said, "Is this considered comfort?"

Speaking of comforting people, Li Jingfeng thought of the day Shen Yuqing was arrested and his little sister was worried and sad. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start. Instead, Yan Xiangcheng comforted his little sister for him.For some reason, he always hesitates in front of his little sister.

In fact, he has a simple and kind nature, and as long as he speaks, he will make the other person feel sincerity. However, because he cares too much and does not want to expose his shortcomings in front of Shen Weichen, and is not good at covering up, the more he tries to cover up, the worse he becomes, so that he can never be honest in front of Shen Weichen.

The two of them chatted here and there. Su Yinzheng continued painting for more than half an hour and said, "It's done!" Li Jingfeng looked over and saw that the painting was not finished. He asked doubtfully, "Is this good?"

Su Yinzheng said: "I can't finish the painting in one night, just keep it in my mind and make up for it when I go back."

She packed up her painting supplies. The walk down the mountain was more difficult, so Li Jingfeng had to help her to prevent her from falling.Su Yinzheng asked: "What are you doing in Qingcheng? Just be an envoy?"

Li Jingfeng said: "No, I'm here just to deliver a message to a friend. I don't even have a chivalry certificate, so I'm just idle now."

Su Yinzheng opened his eyes wide and said, "You don't have a chivalry certificate?"

Li Jingfeng smiled and said: "Yes, I have never even been a disciple."

Su Yinzheng said: "I think your kung fu is pretty good. Who did you learn it from? Do you want to stay in Songshan and let your brother-in-law arrange a position for you?"

Li Jingfeng said: "No, I still want to walk around. I will take my leave after I take you back to Songshan Courtyard and have a good sleep."

Su Yinzheng suddenly slipped and almost fell down. Fortunately, Li Jingfeng was already prepared and quickly put his arms around her waist.Su Yinzheng fell on Li Jingfeng, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said "Hey!"

Li Jingfeng saw her expression of surprise and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"I can see clearly, you are purple!" Su Yinzheng grabbed Li Jingfeng's right arm with his left hand, looking very surprised.Li Jingfeng couldn't tell whether she was real or fake, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you say I am blue?"

"That's because your color is deep purple, too deep, darker than my brother-in-law! It's too bright during the day, so I saw it as a greenish blue! This spiritual color is hazy to begin with, so it's easy to see it wrong!" She He grabbed Li Jingfeng's arm tightly and said, "You can transform into a dragon, and one day you will go to heaven! I have to grab the dragon's tail and follow you to heaven!"

Li Jingfeng guessed that she was comforting him, thinking: "Although this little girl is weird, she is actually a good person." So he smiled and said, "That's great, I will have a rich life." But then he thought about it, something seemed wrong?

Sure enough, his premonition came true immediately. Su Yinzheng hugged him suddenly and said happily: "Marry me quickly!"

This hug scared Li Jingfeng so much that he almost fell down the hillside, but he finally managed to stabilize his body.

At this moment, he saw a pair of figures in the distance down the hillside.
