Sunrise in the East - Smile Allure

Invited by profit, the members of the He family mixed in the crowd couldn't help but look weird.Although Hu Wanwan has a lot of money, he has always been known for being stingy, which can make him spare no expense. Could it be that He Qicheng is really superior?Everyone felt a bit of remorse in their hearts.

But He Qicheng shook his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Hu, for your kindness, but He has other things to do, and he can't go to Shanxi right now."

The man in the green shirt smiled and said: "In this case, my master has already stated that if the young master has no time to go north, another treasure ship will be given as a gift, which will be convenient for the young master to travel." When did a big ship stop? Although it looks ordinary on the outside, how could the things that Hu Wanwan brought as gifts be vulgar?

The man in the green shirt raised his hand again and said: "Come here! Help the young master move things onto the boat!"

Dozens of people came forward and moved all the gifts on the ground to the boat in a few rounds.Two more foreign men respectfully took away two BMWs from Dongfang Bubai, and then dozens of servants came to clean the ground, re-covered the ground, surrounded He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai and boarded the boat together.

Until the big ship set sail, the onlookers on the side of the road were still stunned.At this time, the members of the He family had long lost their interest in celebrating, and bid farewell to Chang Yu one after another, and then returned home anxiously.There was an indescribable feeling in everyone's heart, and they didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing to drive away He Qicheng today.

Part42

After getting on the boat, Dongfang Bubai realized that there was a sense of luxury everywhere on this unattractive boat.He used to live on Heimuya, although the food and clothing are very good, after all, he is a man in the Jianghu, and he lacks the meticulous elegance of a wealthy family. Dealing with the government every day, is he extremely proficient in pleasure?

As soon as he entered the front cabin, the man in green shirt first told He Qicheng about all the decorations and inventory on the ship, and then left.Dongfang Bubai secretly thought, no wonder the man in green shirt said earlier that this is a treasure ship. Based on this calculation, the cost of this ship and its contents may not be less than 10 taels, which is comparable to a royal family!

As soon as He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai sat down at the table, a person laughed and said, "Brother Xicheng, are you satisfied with the boat I gave you?" Slowly come out from the hidden door.

Dongfang Bubai had heard the sound of breathing a long time ago, and he didn't make a move because he felt that the opponent didn't know martial arts at all.Seeing that Hu Wanwan, who was delivering the ship, had arrived, he couldn't help but look him up and down.He thought to himself, the number one merchant in the North not only looks ordinary, but also dresses very plainly, even his servants are slightly inferior.It's just that the wheelchair under him is exquisite and flexible, and it doesn't make any sound while moving, which is a rare good thing.

When He Qicheng saw that it was Hu Wanwan hiding on the boat, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Satisfied, satisfied, Xicheng feels a little sorry for making old brother Hu spend money." When he talked with Hu Wanwan, his face was relaxed, presumably they had a good relationship not bad.

Hu Wanwan pushed the wheelchair to the table, picked up a cup, poured some green tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I wanted to go ashore to support my little brother, but it was too inconvenient to move, so I had to wait for you here. All the colleagues in the world have sent people to come here, but my brother and I are not the only one left."

He Qicheng shook his head and said: "How can they compare with Brother Hu? In terms of financial resources, you are number one in the world. If you really show up in Jinxiu Town, I'm afraid you will scare my uncles to death!" He pulled Dongfang Bubai's palm, stood up and introduced to Hu Wanwan: "I forgot to introduce to my elder brother. This is my sworn elder brother, and he is also the person that Qicheng will depend on each other for the rest of his life. He changed his surname Dongfang, the double name is Undefeated."

Dongfang Bubai had already seen that He Qicheng and Hu Wanwan had a deep friendship, but he didn't expect that He Qicheng would say these words suddenly, and he froze in place, not knowing what to say.

There was a gleam in Hu Wanwan's eyes.He has been operating in Shanxi for a long time, so he naturally knows the name of the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect.It's just that he had heard about the death of Dongfang Bubai and the change of owner of the Sun Moon God Sect a few months ago, so why not be surprised when He Qicheng introduced Dongfang Bubai?There are very few people with double surnames in the world. How can one find a second one with such a magnanimity as Dongfang Bubai?I don't know how this dead person came to be with He Qicheng, it's really hard to understand.

Hu Wanwan is an old fox who has been rolling around in the mall for a long time. Although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "I really want to congratulate you, brother Qicheng! The last time I saw you, you were still a widow. To have such a good couple, I really envy others!" After speaking, he took out a jade pendant from the hidden compartment of the wheelchair, and handed it to Dongfang Bubai.

"This piece of mutton fat white jade is not a good thing, but it is better than a good carver. It was made by a famous craftsman in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is a pair of dragons and phoenixes. It is a pair when you take it apart from the middle. The old brother brought it to you. It means the dragon and the phoenix bring prosperity."

Dongfang Bubai expressed his thanks and took the jade pendant.Seeing that the quality of the jade was very good, he probably came from the court, and knowing that Hu Wanwan meant to speak modestly, and also seeing that this great northern businessman had no grievances about his affairs with Heqicheng, he couldn't help but feel happy, and he felt sorry for Hu Wanwan again. He arched his hands.

Hu Wanwan smiled and said: "Don't think I sent the wrong things, you two. You must know the phoenix, the phoenix is ​​the male bird, and the phoenix is ​​the female bird. In my opinion, this dragon and phoenix jade pendant is just right for you two, hahahaha ..."

He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai couldn't help smiling when they heard the words.

Hu Wanwan said again: "Brother Xicheng, I heard that you are planning a big business, which is why you have attracted old friends from all over the world to fawn on you. I was really curious, so I came all the way south. You see For the sake of my old brother, I am tired of traveling and traveling, would you be willing to tell me first, what kind of business are you going to do?"

He Qicheng smiled slightly and said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I haven't written a word yet, I really can't reveal it casually. But what kind of friendship is there between Brother Hu and me? Since you have already asked, I can do it." Answer one or two."

Hu Wanwan rolled his eyes, lowered his voice and asked, "Is your business related to the old brother's suit of clothes?"

The Hu family in Shanxi relied on salt to make their home.Yanyin is the proof that merchants buy salt from the imperial court and sell it to the common people.Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to fill the national treasury, the imperial court has regarded the sale of salt as a government monopoly business. Anyone who dares to sell private salt will be punished severely.When Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty arrived, in order to save manpower expenses, the imperial court only focused on large-scale wholesale, and handed over the right to retail sales to merchants from all over the country.Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the northern Tatars have always been a serious concern.In order to solve the shortage of food at the border, the imperial court promulgated the Law of Opening China, stipulating that merchants can only exchange grain for salt to the border, and then go to the designated salt farm to wait for the salt, and finally sell it to the designated place.

Shanxi is close to the border, and transporting grain from the south to the north consumes a lot of money, so starting from the generation of Hu Wanwan's grandfather, he came up with the idea of ​​storing grain locally.The Hu family first purchased wasteland in several surrounding provinces, and then hired people to reclaim and grow grain. When the grain was mature, they sent it to the nearest government barn in exchange for salt.This not only reduces the cost of transportation, but also greatly saves time. Selling salt is a lucrative business, which is why the Hu family has risen rapidly in just a few decades.

Because the Hu family can provide a large amount of food and grass for the imperial court every year, the previous heads of the family have all obtained the false title of sixth-rank official, and even their wives have imperial orders.Hu Wanwan asked about the suit at the bottom of the suitcase, referring to his official robes, meaning that he wanted to ask that the business He Qicheng wanted to do was related to the government.

After hearing this, He Qicheng smiled and said nothing, and silently poured a cup of tea for Dongfang Bubai.

Hu Wanwan was secretly anxious, and couldn't help asking: "Is it true, little brother, you have something to say! To tell you the truth, little brother, although all the friends in the mall are envious of my official uniform at the bottom of the box, But working hard for the imperial court is really... really... so fucking aggrieved! Do you know how many times I have to go to the capital every year to buy Yanyin from those very popular father-in-laws? Huh! It is said that rice grains are exchanged for Yanyin, so the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the imperial court have not enough Yanyin? It’s gone! Old brother’s life is hard! Throughout the ages, merchants have been afraid of being rich but not expensive, and a piece of paperwork and tens of thousands of family wealth have become empty. Which one really thinks highly of us? Who doesn't want to take a little bit of money from us? Those old friends are all envious of the big business that the little brother in Xicheng has in hand, and want to take the opportunity to build a relationship with the court, but I have never I was moved. I was afraid that my little brother would suffer in the hands of the court, so I came all the way here. If you insist on refusing to tell me, do you mean you can't trust me, brother?"

Dongfang Bubai had already seen that although Hu Wanwan spoke earnestly, he was actually very interested in the business that He Qicheng wanted to do.He had a good impression of Hu Wanwan, so he couldn't help pulling He Qicheng's sleeve.

Then He Qicheng waved his hand and said: "If you can't trust Brother Hu, why would I be the first to bring the person I love to Brother Hu? This deal is indeed related to an adult in the court, but if we really want to do it , it has little to do with the imperial court. The profit may not be higher than any business that my brother has in hand, but it is better than the long flow of water. I have carefully calculated that as long as I do well, within 20 years, I can make my brother The family property will be multiplied by more than ten times!"

Hu Wanwan couldn't help being dumbfounded after hearing this.To say that the Hu family's wealth is a little more than the silver in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty.It's just that the family has a big business and a lot of expenses. If you really want to count profits, compared with ordinary businessmen, it really can't be too much.But the advantage is that the capital is strong, so they earn more.If such a family business is multiplied by ten times, wouldn't it be really rich and incomparable?It's unbelievable!Immediately, I couldn't help but said: "No, no, it's a lot of money! I just hope that the future generations can live a stable and peaceful life, and the family property can be multiplied by ten times. Maybe other families are very interested, but I am I dare not even think about it."

Hu Wanwan looked around for a few times, then lowered his voice and said: "Back then, Emperor Taizu, just because Shen Wansan wanted to pay for him to work in the army, he planted a murderous intention on him, and later punished him more than eighty times. The old man Brother, I still don’t want to be that early bird!”

He Qicheng said solemnly: "It's rare that old brother Hu understands the principle of being wise and safe. Xicheng really admires it! For future generations, future generations will worry about it. If it is done, not only will I have an extra stable income, but the people of the world will also benefit greatly from it. It is really a century-old plan to strengthen the country and enrich the people. The lord also promised that the imperial court will never intervene in it in the future, as long as it can maintain a 20 One year, it can make life easier for all people in the world, and the life of Qicheng is not in vain! Besides, why was Shen Wansan killed? The silver taels in the national treasury were less than one million taels, and it took Empress Ma to lead the harem to sell jewelry together to make it all together. Shen Wansan, however, offered 100 million taels of gold as soon as he opened his mouth. How could Emperor Taizu not be annoyed? The royal family each built half, and it was completed three days earlier than the royal family. Wouldn't it be a big refutation of Emperor Taizu's face? You said why did Emperor Taizu get angry at a mere wealthy businessman, Long Yan, because the country was poor and weak? The founding of the Ming Dynasty At the beginning, the embezzlement of 60 taels of silver had to be skinned. In order to accumulate wealth, Emperor Taizu issued countless strict decrees, all of which were forced by the situation at the time. To tell the truth, Brother Hu said that the lord intends to enrich the country and strengthen the army. I have this Pile trading is just one part of it, when my country is at its peak and the barbarians come to court, there will be more than a hundred times the amount of silver in the treasury, so how can I envy you and me with these small things?"

Hu Wanwan couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and sighed: "During the Warring States period, there was a famous Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who could live with rare goods and helped the first emperor to rule the world. He was the No. It was only when I met the little brother in Qicheng that I realized that I was narrow-minded. The little brother is right, you don’t bring wealth with you when you die, and you don’t bring it with you when you die. According to my little brother’s words, this business is also considered my share. Whatever is useful to get my brother’s place, just open your mouth!”

He Qicheng laughed, and was about to speak when he heard a clanging sound from the river bank beside him.He could hear the sentimentality of parting in the music, and couldn't help but yelled out.Immediately, he explained to Hu Wanwan, and pulled Dongfang Bubai out of the cabin.

At this time, the boat was turning along the current, and from a distance, a person was seen sitting on the top of a small hill by the Huishui River, playing the zither and sending each other off.Looking at his figure, who is it if it's not He Qiwu?

He Qicheng was very worried, knowing that today's farewell might be a farewell, he could not help but hold Dongfang Bubai's hand tightly, and silently faced the river bank.However, the sad melancholy sound of the zither became passionate again at the highest point, like a high-pitched song, which made people very excited after listening to it.Afterwards, it gradually became grand and magnificent. Even a person like He Qicheng, who has no rhythm, can see a prosperous world in front of his eyes. Even Dongfang Bubai can't help but secretly marvel at He Qiwu's attainments in zither music.

Until the big boat turned into another section of the river, the sound of the zither gradually faded away, and the two of them stood motionless at the bow of the boat.

"Second young master, rest! Eldest young master is too far away, I can't hear you anymore." It was a young servant behind He Qiwu who saw that his face was pale and precarious, so he couldn't help but remind him.

He Qiwu smiled miserably and didn't stop.After playing for a while, when the stern of the boat was no longer visible, I could hold back my fingers, picked up a pair of scissors beside the table, and cut off all the strings, and pushed a rare and good zither to the ground.

The servant behind him couldn't help but said anxiously: "Second young master, this kite..."

He Qiwu waved his hands and said: "Since the eldest brother is gone, who do I want to play the zither for?" After speaking, he finally spat out a mouthful of blood, shook and fell limp.

Part43

But it was said that the big ship sailed eastward for about half a day, and Hu Wanwan found a pier to say goodbye and leave.Seeing that there were four carriages waiting on the river bank, He Qicheng knew that Hu Wanwan was busy and it was not easy to make a special trip to see him next time, so he smiled and said goodbye to him, and agreed to meet Yunyun in the capital around Mid-Autumn Festival.

After Hu Wanwan left, he picked up Lu Fei, Zhao Da and Qian Er, and He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai sat comfortably on the boat for two days.It is said that there are even singers, actors, and storytellers on the treasure ship, and there are countless things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. .

At this time, Dongfang Bubai already knew that he had lived in extreme hardships for more than ten years, so he wrote his handwriting like a dog running like a chicken.He felt a slight pain in his heart when he saw He Qicheng's faceless face, and said softly, "If you really want to practice, you can go ashore and buy a few copybooks to copy. There are many calligraphy and paintings, maybe you can also find calligraphy posts. My calligraphy is not very good, what do you want to do with mine?"

But He Qicheng shook his head and said: "Brother Dongfang is the best in my heart, I just love to see how you write, can you make it?"

Dongfang Bubai had no choice but to write an article in block letters, and at the same time tell He Qicheng about his brushwork experience.Seeing that He Qicheng answered absent-mindedly, he was about to get angry, but He Qicheng walked up behind him a few steps, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and whispered: "Brother Dongfang, I don't quite understand what you say. Why don't you hold me?" Make it easier to understand." After speaking, he continued to urge Dongfang Bubai to write down.

Dongfang Bubai thought, usually the person who teaches calligraphy stands behind and holds the hand of the person who wants to practice calligraphy, how can there be any reason for it to be the other way around?It's just that the sweetheart is breathless behind him, even if he has great concentration, his hands can't help trembling slightly.I wrote a few more strokes, not horizontal or vertical, but rather He Qicheng's demeanor.

Seeing this, He Qicheng couldn't help but chuckled, rubbed Dongfang Bubai's tiger's mouth with his thumb, and exclaimed: "Brother Dongfang, your wrist is so beautiful!"

Dongfang Bubai has heard quite a few flattery words in his life, most of them are praises for his martial arts, or flattery such as "Wenchengwude dominates the world", but "shameless" rhetoric like He Qicheng's It was the first time I heard that it was neither earning nor scolding at the moment. Standing blankly, it was really a waste of good martial arts.

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai's face was red and white, with a thin layer of sweat oozing from the tip of his nose, He Qicheng was secretly delighted, so he couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Dongfang Bubai's neck.He also urged: "Brother Dongfang, why don't you write?"

Dongfang Bubai took a staggered breath, and felt a soft and slippery thing moving up and down his neck, causing a burst of heat on his body.He Qicheng chuckled in his ears, his body was pulled sideways, and someone bit his Adam's apple again.Dongfang Bubai has practiced martial arts for a long time, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to touch such vital points, but because of the closeness of his sweetheart, he had no choice but to resist pushing He Qicheng away, but the hot and humid feeling on his neck became more and more obvious.Until He Qicheng gently covered his lips, rubbed them repeatedly, breathed out, he was already not very clear about his sanity, he only felt that there was only each other left in the world, his whole body was like falling into the clouds, and he was completely drunk.

He Qicheng pressed Dongfang Bubai's palm on the table with one hand, and wrapped his arms around Dongfang Bubai's waist with the other, and pressed his body a little closer, his lips kept rubbing.Immediately, the pen holder tilted horizontally, and the white paper was stained with ink, but the two of them had no time to care about each other, they just wished they could rub each other into their bodies.Dongfang Bubai climbed onto He Qicheng's back with one hand, closed his eyes, and finally couldn't help his heart agitated, he stuck out his soft tongue and swept it between the other's lips...

After traveling for a few more days, the big ship finally docked in Suzhou Prefecture.He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai disembarked together, and first found a restaurant for dinner.He Qicheng seemed to be very familiar with this place, as soon as he sat down, he reported more than ten famous Suzhou dishes, and ordered a pot of Biluochun, and together with Dongfang Bubai, he listened to the Pingtan and sipped tea.

Dongfang Bubai had been to Suzhou several times, but they were always busy and didn't have much chance to play.Seeing that He Qicheng was in high spirits, he couldn't help being secretly happy.He also felt that the person opposite had such a changeable expression only when he was in front of him, even when talking to Lu Fei or Hu Wanwan, he was not as relaxed and wanton as when he was with him, so he couldn't help feeling happier.He was thinking about the days of He Qicheng's poison refinement, so he couldn't help reminding him in a low voice.

He Qicheng looked weird when he heard the words, looked Dongfang Bubai up and down with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Why, haven't I told Brother Dongfang? Yes. It’s just that Big Brother Dongfang has worked so hard, making Qicheng really feel bad!”

Dongfang Bubai was slightly taken aback, and when he understood the meaning of He Qicheng's words, he snorted coldly angrily, turned his face away, but his cheeks could not help but blush.He didn't care about doing some intimate things with He Qicheng, but He Qicheng said it out loud, but it made him extremely ashamed.After thinking about it, he was a little worried about He Qicheng's body, deliberately pretending to be casual, and asked slowly: "Is the medicine mink from last time really all right?"

The more He Qicheng looked at Dongfang Bubai in the past few days, the more thirsty his mouth became, and he played around on the boat a few times, but the fire in his heart became more and more intense.He has never tasted such a feeling of deep love, but he also knows that it is not because of the influence of any drugs.Immediately straightening his face, he smiled at Dongfang Bubai and said, "It's alright. Last time, in fact, I deliberately lied to Brother Dongfang so that you could get closer to me. Unexpectedly, Brother Dongfang worried about this. After a long time, Qicheng is here to apologize to you!"

Although Dongfang Bubai also had some doubts about the absurd thing last time, he was too thin-skinned to dare to mention it to He Qicheng, but he was a little grateful in his heart, only thinking that God was perfecting him.How could he have imagined that He Qicheng would say it so openly and generously, he didn't scold at once, and he didn't scold at all, he couldn't speak in a daze.

He Qicheng said again: "Brother Dongfang, I respect and love you in my heart, but I was afraid that you would not want to be with me, so I made such a bad plan. I, He Qicheng, would like to swear to the sky, only this time, there will be no next time. From now on In the future, I will definitely not dare to lie to you in the slightest!"

When Dongfang Bubai heard that He Qicheng seemed to be swearing poisonously, his complexion changed drastically, and he immediately pointed out his dumb acupoints, fearing that it would not be safe enough, so he simply clicked the acupoints on his body as well, making He Qicheng's eyelids dizzy You can't blink randomly, and then you can barely retract your fingers.Seeing He Qicheng's eyes rolling wildly, he couldn't help but sternly face, and said coldly: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will leave here, and I will never see you again in this life! Otherwise..."

He Qicheng was anxious at the moment, but he couldn't express it, so he had to wait for Dongfang Bubai to threaten him a few more times before releasing his dumb acupoint. "Brother Dongfang..." He Qicheng was about to speak when Dongfang Bubai gave him another cold glance. Although it was not the first time he had seen Dongfang Bubai's vicious gaze, he felt that Dongfang Bubai's expression at this moment was really pretty. Although he said that he would never see each other again, his face was extremely nervous, with a stern look on his face, which made people like it or not.Immediately he couldn't help laughing out loud, pointed behind Dongfang Bubai and said, "I just want to tell Big Brother Dongfang that our food is here!"

Dongfang Bubai sensed that Xiaoer Dian was approaching, so he snorted and released the acupuncture points on He Qicheng's body.However, He Qicheng was in a good mood, and casually rewarded the little girl with more than two or three taels of silver, and then picked up the chopsticks to serve Dongfang Bubai.When the squirrel mandarin fish was introduced, he rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Dongfang, do you know that there is a hero's story in this dish!"

At that time, all the oaths were very important, and Dongfang Bubai was annoyed by He Qicheng's actions, and he was a little happy that his sweetheart was also worried that he had no intentions for him.Hearing that what He Qicheng said was interesting, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and motioned for He Qicheng to continue talking.

He Qicheng smiled and said: "The cooking method of this squirrel mandarin fish is very different from ordinary dishes. The fish skin is turned inside, the boneless fish meat is turned outside, and then the tail is pulled out from the inside. It looks like a squirrel, and it is finished when it is poured with marinade and creaks when it is served. In the past, the assassin Zhuan Zhu wanted to kill King Liao of Wu, so he went to Suzhou to learn how to make this dish, and finally hid the sword of fish intestines Serving a banquet in the belly of the fish finally succeeded in one blow and killed the king of Wu. Only then did the young master Guang establish himself as the king of Wu and call him the king of Wu. Let me tell you, it was all thanks to this Taoism. The cooking method is different, if it is an ordinary fish, how can it hide the sword in it so that no one can find it?"

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but chuckled when he heard the words: "You are the only one who only thinks about eating, why don't you say that Zhuan Zhu's martial arts skills are outstanding, so that he can kill King Wu in one fell swoop?"

He Qicheng said solemnly: "If Zhuan Zhu is truly extraordinary in martial arts, he will not be killed by the Wu king's guards immediately. If you ask me, his kung fu is far behind that of big brother Dongfang. If big brother Dongfang makes a move, why bother with so many tricks?" But Zhuan Zhu has the wisdom of hiding a sword in a fish, and his loyalty and courage are second to none, so I really admire him!"

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but nodded and said: "Such a brave man in the world is indeed worthy of admiration."

But someone from the side shouted: "What? I have always admired Junzijian as a man, but I never thought that he is a hypocrite who deceives the world and steals his name!"

Another person interjected: "Damn! What a gentleman's sword! Even the balls are gone, how dare you call yourself a gentleman?" But there were seven or eight people from the rivers and lakes sitting around a table next to them, talking about what they said vigorously. .

Seeing Dongfang Bubai raised his eyebrows slightly, He Qicheng knew that someone had inadvertently talked about something central to him and got angry, so he couldn't help frowning secretly.He listened carefully for a while, only then did he realize that something happened on Mount Hua, apart from the Hengshan faction, the Wuyue Sword faction descended from the head master, Yue Buqun, and [-]% to [-]% of them died all of a sudden.These Jianghu people didn't know the inside story, they only heard that the director of the Sun Moon God Sect, Wo Xing, led tens of thousands of congregants out, and wiped out four sects of the Five Sacred Sword Sect at once.Ren Woxing wanted to recruit Linghu Chong, the head of Hengshan Mountain, as his son-in-law, but Linghu Chong flatly refused, and he couldn't help letting go of his harsh words. After three months, he led people to destroy Hengshan, Shaolin, and Wudang, and then let Linghu Chong and others go back.

This incident turned out to be a tragedy on the rivers and lakes, but who would have known that someone would confiscate the corpse afterwards, and somehow it was reported that the gentleman Jian Yue Buqun and the former head of the Songshan School Zuo Lengchan all had signs of being castrated , and the wounds are different from old and new, it doesn't look like it was done by the Sun Moon God Sect, but it looks like it came from the palace.A few days later, it was reported that the Lin family had to practice swords from the palace, and Yue Buqun and others practiced swords from the palace precisely because they robbed the Lin family's sword manual.As soon as this incident happened, there was an uproar in the Jianghu.Seeing that Linghu Chong didn't stand up to tell the dead master, everyone felt that the matter was a bit solid.It was passed around, but the reputation behind the gentleman's sword was all spread into a mess.Poor Yue Buqun devoted his whole life to his career, maintained a gentleman's appearance everywhere, but after his death, he wasted everything, and together with his old rival Zuo Lengchan, he became the two biggest laughing stocks in the world.

He Qicheng became more and more unbearable when he heard what those people said. He said for a while, "I think Zuo Lengchan's skill is not as good as Yue Buqun's, but it's because he cut his eggs too late." Have you ever been unable to bear the loneliness and cheated on you behind your back?" Yunyun.In the end, there was a lot of swearing and foul language, and everyone's gloating was beyond words.

He Qicheng was annoyed, and whispered to Dongfang Bubai: "How come there are so many annoying flies in such a good place? If Brother Dongfang doesn't want to take action, I have to go there and teach them a lesson."

Seeing the angry look on He Qicheng's face, Dongfang Bubai felt warm in his heart.He was worried that killing these people would cause He Qicheng's displeasure, when he saw that He Qicheng was really angry for him, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Don't dirty your hands and let them sit here until the end of time. It's gone." With a movement of his fingers, he folded off a small section of a bamboo chopstick, flicked it lightly again, and the small piece of bamboo split into hundreds of tiny bamboo needles and pierced into the people at the next table.

Besides, the people at that table were talking loudly just now, but in an instant Dongfang Bubai sealed off the acupuncture points all over their bodies, so they had to maintain their original postures, look at me, look at you, not to mention asking for help, but to see who did it. cannot.

When He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai finished their lunch and came out of the restaurant, the people at this table remained motionless.He Qicheng asked in a low voice: "How long?" Dongfang Bubai stretched out three fingers and shook.He Qicheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Three hours?" Dongfang Bubai sneered, "If no one comes to rescue them, they won't even think about making a move for three years."

He Qicheng thought, if he doesn't move for three years, if he doesn't eat or drink, wouldn't he be dying of thirst and starvation?However, people in Jianghu have no reason to act alone, there will always be someone who will find a way to treat them, so that they can learn a lesson from Dongfang Bubai, and it should be.At that moment, he held Dongfang Bubai's palm, and said with a smile: "Brother Dongfang, we are full of wine and food, let's go to the embroidery workshop to have a look!"

Dongfang Bubai was startled, seeing that He Qicheng's face showed no abnormality, and wondered if he knew what he liked, so he hummed in a low voice, and followed He Qicheng.

Suzhou embroidery has been recorded since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was designated as a tribute in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has become famous ever since.In the villages of Suzhou and Hangzhou, every family raises silkworms, every household embroiders, and nine out of ten girls' dowries are all embroidered by themselves.There are nearly a thousand embroidery workshops in Gusu City, most of which are concentrated in the Fengqiao area, between Xiuxian Lane and Qianzhen Workshop.

Fengqiao was originally called Fengqiao, and it is the most common stone arch bridge in the south of the Yangtze River.Because the north and south boats and vehicles meet under the bridge, and the official road is located, once the city gate is locked at night, the waterways around the bridge will also be closed, and ships must stop at the shore, so it is called closed bridge.In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet Zhang Ji who wrote "Night Mooring at Fengqiao". It is the scene of mooring a boat under the Maple Bridge.From then on, Fengqiao was renamed Fengqiao until today.

After dinner, He Qicheng took Dongfang Bubai for a stroll to the Fengqiao area.I saw a crowd of people all around, but there was no bustle and bustle like an ordinary market. Instead, Wu Nong's soft words were everywhere. The shop was decorated elegantly and beautifully, and most of the shoppers were women, chatting softly with the shopkeepers one by one. , there are buying and selling, and there are discussions about how to show stitches, which is really interesting.

Dongfang Bubai was delighted to see Lie Xin, and couldn't help but glance around from the corner of his eye, secretly keeping a few of the most unique objects in his heart.He saw that He Qicheng walked more and more sideways, and finally there were no shops, only a slanted narrow alley with Jiangnan dwellings at both ends, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

But He Qicheng stopped in front of a small door, raised his hand and patted the door panel twice.After a while, a young girl's voice came from inside and asked "Su Ning", the door creaked and opened halfway, revealing a face, but it was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, her eyes were rolling, Extremely agile.Seeing that it was He Qicheng, she couldn't help showing joy on her face, and Yiyi babbled a lot of Suzhou dialect, but Dongfang Bubai didn't understand much.

He Qicheng took out a pack of sweet-scented osmanthus candies that he just bought from his sleeve and handed it over, and said with a smile, "I remember you love sweet-scented osmanthus candies, so I bought some here by the way. Is Miss Song at home today?" He spoke in a correct manner Mandarin.

The little girl quickly took the oil-paper bag, put it under her nose and sniffed it, held it in her hand with a smile, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Sister Song is painting inside! If she knows that the young master is coming , I still don’t know how happy I am! Eldest young master, follow me!” She saw that Dongfang Bubai could not understand Suzhou dialect, so she immediately changed to Mandarin, but it still had a soft and waxy taste, which was very pleasant to hear.

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but feel a little sour when he saw that He Qicheng was looking for some kind of Song girl.He saw that the girl in front of him was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Wasn't her elder sister in her twenties or eight years old, at the age of marriage?He Qicheng obviously knew this woman for a long time, and he was able to enter the room, and there was probably some ambiguous feelings in it.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's expression was cold, He Qicheng knew that he wanted to make a mistake, but he didn't want to point it out.He lowered his head and said to the little girl, "Ah! Miss Song is painting, so I don't dare to disturb her pleasure, I'd better stand outside and wait for a while."

The little girl quickly waved her hand and said, "Elder Sister Song has already said something, as long as the young master comes, you must bring her in quickly. Young master, is this your friend? She looks really good-looking."

He Qicheng saw that Dongfang Bubai's face was covered with another layer of frost, and his heart was already full of laughter, but he held Dongfang Bubai's hand solemnly and said: "This is my elder brother, he doesn't like people to praise him for his good looks. In that case, Then take me in!"

The little girl couldn't help sticking out her tongue, and muttered in a low voice: "It's all the eldest master, why is there a big brother on top? Oh! It must be the cousin?" She opened the door to let He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai in.

Behind the door is a small courtyard. There are dozens of pots of bonsai placed on the table on the ground. They are well arranged and not crowded. They are lush and beautiful.A group of three people walked through the yard, went up from the front hall to the second floor, bypassed a flower stand, the little girl pushed open a door, and saw that the room was decorated very simply, except for the tables and chairs, there were two embroidery stands separated by a flower stand. Looking at the gauze curtain, I saw a woman standing against the light in front of the window, holding a pen in her hand, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance of ink, presumably she was indeed painting.

As soon as the little girl entered the room, the playful expression on her face suddenly disappeared, she gave a solemn report, then nodded to He Qicheng, then turned around and went out to close the door again.

Dongfang Bubai's eyesight was excellent, through the gauze curtain, he could see that the woman was wearing a gauze hat on her head, which completely covered her face, and she could only see that she was quite tall.He remembered that He Qicheng said he liked tall people, and he couldn't help but feel
