Jianghu chaos

There were only three competitions today, and the time-consuming was much shorter than originally expected. Shangguan Yun won without any suspense. The last drum fell, and the day's competition came to an end. .

It was not too late, and the knights were still unsure about competing with each other, or returning to their houses to recharge their batteries and wait for tomorrow. They dispersed in twos and threes and quickly merged into the huge Baichuan Villa.

Mei Qian knocked on the window and turned in without making a sound, without disturbing the guards outside.

Shangguan Yun is in the room, there is a chessboard in front of him, he holds black in his left hand and white in his right hand, it has already been half played.

"Brother Shangguan." Mei Qian walked over familiarly. If it was in the past, there would be Xie Chaohan who came through the window with him. The two always like to bypass the many notifications in the villa, and they only pick Shangguan Yun when he is playing chess and meditating. Come for a surprise visit.

Shangguan Yun was not surprised: "Brother Mei, wait a moment, I'll be fine after I finish this job."

Mei Qian sat across from him, looked at the black and white on the chessboard, and said, "Today's martial arts competition, what do you think?"

Shangguan Yunzheng was holding the white piece, and after a long time of deliberation, he finally settled it. Although he blocked the way of Heizi, he folded a few white words: "Brother Mei can see clearly, why bother to ask me again."

"Hua Luan wants to use you as a gun, and reap the benefits after you and Sunset City are both injured." Mei Qian unconsciously increased her tone, "You know who he is and what kind of plan, and you plan to let him do what he wants?"

Heizi stopped in mid-air, Shangguan Yun was silent for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "Brother Mei, Baichuan Villa, it's not yet the time to convict people with empty words and no evidence."

"Since my father passed away and I took over Baichuan Villa, I have only one way to get revenge." Shangguan Yun raised his eyes and said calmly, "When I want to take revenge, Baichuan Villa is the leader of the righteous way, and everyone betrays me. If I don't want to take revenge, I will be accused of disloyalty and disobedience. Brother Mei, you ask me why I know what Hua Luan intends to do, but why do I allow him to do so? But what else can I do."

Mei Qian was speechless.

Shangguan Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "I understand what Brother Mei means, don't worry, I can handle it myself."

"..." Mei Qian sighed inaudibly, got up and was about to leave.

"Brother Mei." Shangguan Yun said behind him.

Mei Qian paused and waited for the next sentence.

"Brother Mei once said that the world is chaotic and human relationships are cumbersome, and he has always stayed away from affairs of the rivers and lakes. Why do you care so much now?"

Mei subconsciously denied: "No."

Shangguan Yun shook his head, sighed and said: "You say you don't care about things, but you care about them in your heart, and you can't let them go—Brother Mei, have you ever thought about it, if someone uses this to plot against you, what should you do?"

Mei Qian turned around in surprise: "Brother Shangguan, what do you mean?"

Shangguan Yun's expression was calm, but his tone was somewhat dignified: "Brother Mei, please be more careful."

Mei Qian stared at him for a while, nodded, turned around and left without saying anything more.

At night, the night is as cool as water, the shadow of a Taoist person flashes by, so fast that the branches and leaves are not noticed, the candles in the room are dancing, everything outside the room is silent, everything is as usual.

Mei Qian passed by silently, turning around and standing on the corner of the eaves, above his head, the clear light of the first quarter moon scattered, reflecting his clothes in twos and threes.

Looking from this angle, there is also a person hidden in the treetops not far away.

The man squatted at the top, holding a wine jug in his hand, he didn't intend to move for a long time, if he didn't take a sip of wine from time to time, Mei Qian would have thought he was trapped there by someone's acupuncture point.

The man just squatted there quietly, without any movement, and he didn't know how long he squatted, probably when the wine in the jug drank up, he slowly straightened up, turned around and kicked the treetops, and then swept away.

He never noticed that Mei Qian was not far behind him, looking at him all the time.

In this rivers and lakes, where are there simple people?From Baichuan Mountain Villa to the top ten sects of Yanqi Mountain, from Mingyuan to Yanwuya's Sunset City, behind Ruan Xi, who looks silly and ignorant, is the Rong'an Chamber of Commerce, which is invincibly rich, and Ye Fushu, who looks innocent and useless, is also behind him. The Chaowenhui supported by the imperial court... I am afraid that he is the only one, completely alone, with no enmity, no entanglement, clean and tidy.

Mei Qian couldn't help looking up, the half moon was hanging on the zenith, with no stars or clouds beside it, it looked cold and lonely.

"On Ling Hongchen's side, everything is false."

Compared with the major martial arts sects in the Jianghu, the Lingxu Sect has always been a freak. I don’t know when it was established or who founded it. I only know that each generation is passed down alone. When it comes to Mei Qian, it is the ninth generation. At that time, the master kept calling "Little Jiu, Ah Jiu, Jiu Er", which made Mei Qian's skin crawl, so he stopped calling Master at all, grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said indifferently: "Shut up!" , eighth."

Not only was the master not angry with this little bastard, but the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was like a teacher, and he couldn't wait to teach him martial arts.

Later he learned that the master was just teaching an apprentice as soon as possible to complete the task, pass on the sect, and then go to the north and south to enjoy himself.

The Lingxu Sect has been living in no fixed place since the establishment of the Sect. Mei Qian has no relatives, no residence, and ran away from his master. At a young age, he had to look for his master from far and wide, and he also tasted the sweetness of being alone. , Looking for it, I didn't bother to look for it.

The master taught him to take everything lightly and he will be more at ease.Favor is a burden, concern is bondage, coming and going alone, unrestrained between heaven and earth, is their Lingxu style.

But Mei Qian knew that such words were nothing more than self-deception.

If there is gain, there must be loss; if there is gathering, there must be separation.

Those who started the school may have seen too much gain and loss, and when they were afraid, they forcibly pulled themselves out, leaving a good story about being independent and refined.

Xie Qi could see through him, Shangguan Yun could see through him, and even Ming Yuan could see through him.

He doesn't know how to get along with people. After so many years in the rivers and lakes, there are only three friends who can be called friends: Xie Qi, Shangguan Yun, and Ruan Xi—too few, too precious, how can he let go .

From the opening meeting of Doufu Castle on the second day of February, the promotion meeting of Luoyingmen on the third day of March, and the competition meeting of Sibaichuan Villa in early April, several months passed so quickly that he didn't even realize that this time, he was in the whirlpool of the rivers and lakes. Stayed in it for so long.

"After everything is over, you and I will find a good place with few people, plant flowers and wine, and indulge in the mountains and rivers."

Can a person escape from the rivers and lakes?

A night is not short, and it is long, but it is just a moment when you close your eyes and open your eyes.

Ruan Xi pushed open the door with sleepy eyes, and in the courtyard covered with flowers and leaves, someone was practicing sword.The ancient sword draws a stream of light, and in the morning wind, dew rolls down along the edge of the sword and falls on the roses all over the ground, just like these roses are still hanging on the branches, swaying and still alive.

Ruan Xi was stunned, rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, and saw that although the man stepped on the petals and leaves with every step, he never made a sound, walking like a ghost, all the petals and leaves were intact, as if he was stepping on the ground. It's just a few grains of dust and a few wisps of breeze on top.

The sword is as powerful as lightning, slashing across it, as fierce as cold winter, hidden in the rose and peonies in early summer, it really answered the phrase "the bustling place, the tomb of heroes".

"I don't know, so you can also use a sword." A laughing voice sounded behind him, Ruan Xi turned his head, and saw Xie Chaohan leaning against the door, wearing a large navy blue robe, which made his face pale A little pale, with a faint blue color in his eyes, I don't know if it's reflected by his clothes, "Dancing well, quite like your Xie Qige back then."

It was only then that Ruan Xi realized that he was using the sword that Xie Chaohan gave him, and when he first woke up, he was in a daze and didn't realize that the sword was not with him.

Mei Qian put the sword back into its sheath, and threw it to Ruan Xi, frowning and walked over quickly: "You haven't slept all night?"

Xie Chaohan let out an "ah", but still smiled: "Someone ran out to be a thief, there must always be someone guarding the rear, and if there is an emergency, we can catch him."

He was talking nonsense, but Mei Qian didn't argue with him for the first time, instead she was startled for a moment, lowered her eyes and said softly: "I'm fine, I just thought about something."

Xie Chaohan stretched out his hand, held his hand under the cover of the big sleeve, and patted the back of his hand comfortingly: "I understand."

For some reason, Mei Qian's heart suddenly felt sour, and she held his hand with her backhand, exerted a little force, and pulled him closer unexpectedly, wrapped her arms around his back and pressed him into her arms, buried her face between his shoulders and hair, and said a word Not sent.

Xie Chaohan was surprised that the iron rooster had a thinner skin than a big girl, and it was so awkward to hook his shoulders and his back, and it was the first time that he was able to talk for a long time in order to cover up.Looking at this posture, it seems that Xie Qi is about to commit suicide and apologize immediately.

Um?Suicide and apology?

Xie Zhaohan recalled that when Luoyingmen's accident happened, he did say that he would give Jianghu an explanation when the leader of the alliance was elected.Xie Chaohan sighed softly, patted him on the back and said half-jokingly: "Hero Mei has always been unrestrained, how can he act like a child? In life, he will die sooner or later. If I die, I will just let you go." Come and go alone."

A hand reached up and poked him hard on the neck. "Shut up." Mei Qian gritted her teeth in a muffled voice.

Xie Chaohan quickly turned his neck to avoid his dumb point, and hugged him tighter: "But since it fell into my hands, I won't let it go."

With a bang sound, the superior sword fell to the ground like this. Ruan Xi was dumbfounded and looked at the two hugging each other in front of the door. Something exploded in his mind, which made his ears ringing and his eyes dazzled. It seems that something is not quite right.

"Master, senior brother..." Ruan Xi stammered, almost slipping his tongue.

"Be smarter!" Duan Li, who appeared at some time, said in a rough voice, and forced his head away from him, shook the flagon in his hand, and took a big gulp with complicated emotions.

Out of sight is pure.
