[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

Su Ye stood by the window, looking at the green mountains and black shadows in the distance.The setting sun melts gold, and the sky is full of colorful clouds, like a brush in the hand of a painter, outlining the outline of the mountains.If the color of Caixia is more green gold and less orange red, it will look like a freehand landscape painting with splashed ink, which is so beautiful that people can't breathe.

The black robe on her body hangs down to the ground, bathed in the majestic sunlight, she looks mysterious and solemn, as if countless colored lights condense together to form a dark human figure suddenly.Whenever she stares at the setting sun and dusk, she can understand why Su Mengzhen's red sleeve knife is like the bright red flowers falling in the drizzle at dusk.

This is still Qingtian Village, the foundation of Yin Chengfeng and Wu Caiyun.However, now she is the Dragon King of Five Lakes, not Su Ye, so she chooses the guest room where Ye Chouhong lives, and waits patiently for the person she wants to wait for.

She will leave tomorrow and return to Kaifeng Mansion to report to Su Mengzhen.Before that, she had to discuss with Qi Shao as the Dragon King of Five Lakes.But while she was waiting, she couldn't forget what Xi Honglei said earlier today.

At that time, Xi Honglei avoided others, came to her alone, thanked her solemnly, thanked her for her efforts to lure away the pursuers such as Jiuyou Shenjun, and personally made an escape plan to help the woman in the city escape safely.

After Qi Shaoshang experienced this catastrophe, his temperament changed greatly, and he seemed to be a different person.With tears in his eyes, Xihong saw the city was destroyed and people died, and the sisters were killed and injured one after another, so it was not the case.

When they were chatting, her thick eyebrows were repeatedly frowned, and there was a slight sadness between her brows, she smiled less and thought more.They did win, defeated Fu Zongshu, forced the emperor to back down, and turned into chivalrous men praised by the royal mouth.But they didn't win anything, and in the end, they still had nothing to see, not knowing what the future would hold, like a group of panic-stricken bereaved dogs.

The dead are long gone, and the rest of the people still have to live on.Therefore, after a few words, Su Ye asked about her future plans, and said that if she wanted to rebuild Rui Nuo City, she would try her best to help.

Xi Honglei listened, grateful to be grateful, and actually smiled wryly, the worry on the brow disappeared, and the gloomy color became more intense, and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness. I will settle down the sisters who are dying and injured, and I will be with Helian Chunshui Let’s go together, walk around with him, or go back to the capital together to meet Old Lord Helian.”

Su Ye never cared about other people's emotional disputes. After listening to it, he was still very surprised and asked, "You are completely discouraged by Qi Shaoshang, and you don't plan to continue your relationship?"

Xi Honglei shook his head resolutely, and said: "He has wronged me many times, what is the cause? When I founded Rui Nuo City, I was indeed full of resentment and wanted to kill him to vent my anger. But that was only for a while. Not long after, I found that I could kill him myself, but not allow others to touch a hair of him, and I was immediately disheartened."

Su Ye wondered, "And why?"

Xi Hong said with tears: "Because I still think about him and miss him, that's all."

When she said this, a dreamlike light suddenly appeared in her eyes, which was extremely moving, "Since it can't be done, why bother to pretend and follow the example of those who hate women? If he is in trouble, I will definitely help him. Whoever dares to hurt him, I will help you." It must be repaid ten times. But to renew the old relationship, to continue the relationship? I have already given up this thought, and in this life, I will never go back on what I said."

Su Ye thought of Qi Shaoshang's affair, but felt speechless.In fact, Gu Xichao was able to bribe several of the eight village owners and join hands with them to assassinate Qi Shaoshang, and Qi Shaoshang himself was also responsible.

She has heard a proverb in her previous and present lives, which is called "rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests".Qi Shaoshang not only ate it, but also gnawed the grass into a mess.

He is romantic and affectionate, and likes to make friends with women in the village.After the relationship ended, they married other people, including the village master Lianyun and Qi Shaoshang's confidantes.When a husband finds out that his wife is having an affair with another man, he naturally presses to ask who the adulterer is.Fearing that they would be unlucky, these women put all the blame on Qi Shaoshang, either saying that he was coaxing with sweet words, or that he was persecuting by force.As a result, many people in Lianyunzhai were alienated from Qi Shaoshang and dared not speak out when they were angry. When Gu Xichao lured them with high-ranking officials and rich salary, new and old hatreds welled up in their hearts, so they nodded and did it.

Xi Honglei loves Qi Shaoshang deeply, and is desperate for him, even paying for his own life.If not, how could she leave in a huff and found Rui Nuo City by herself?

Su Ye had no intention of commenting on other people's private affairs, but Xi Honglei was willing to tell her, which showed that she didn't mind her saying a few more words.She sighed softly, and said with a wry smile: "I feel that he is so devoted to you now, auntie, that he will never provoke another woman. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to persuade you to make up with him, I'm just telling the truth."

Xi Honglei sighed: "I understand, how could I not understand. But he came too late, I waited for so long, he was desperate, and then remembered me Xi Honglei. Miss Su, do you know that he is in trouble At the beginning, he also defected to a few confidantes, hoping that they would take him in and Mu Jiuping and others, and give him a few days to breathe. They... heard that he had no money, no Lianyunzhai, and lost an arm, and offended him again. The government has closed its doors, closed its doors, and refused to lend a helping hand."

Su Ye was stunned for a while, then said, "I really don't know."

As Xi Honglei spoke, as if recalling the unhappiness of the past, she shook her head unconsciously, and said proudly: "Actually, he once said with his own mouth that those women are not comparable to me at all. But for them, he let me Sad and disappointed. It's his romantic nature, he needs pink to be heroic, no wonder he does. I don't think he did anything wrong, but I can't take it, so I can't be with him."

Her tone gradually increased, but her voice was still gentle and sweet, like a silver bell, "I believed in him before, but I was extremely disappointed in the end, and now I don't dare to believe it anymore. We forcefully gather together, and it is very likely that we will turn against each other and be full of resentment in the end. Completely separated, you can still be a chivalrous friend."

These words had already involved Qi Shaoshang's privacy, but it made Su Ye suddenly realize that she completely understood her feelings.She has also heard that many heroes are promiscuous, and even if the person they love is by their side, they can't help but want to associate with other women.Those women don't even have to be smart or kind-hearted, just beautiful.

The more outstanding the characters, the more they feel that this should be taken for granted. Who made them show off their talents and compare them to other men.What's even more strange is that their lovers also think that there is no problem. Anyway, they can also provoke other men, which is not unfair.

Qi Shaoshang is one of them, but it's a pity that Xihonglei is not that kind of woman.She was just as proud and arrogant as he was. She quarreled to no avail several times and walked away alone in anger. To fulfill his spirit, she was even more ruthless now, abandoning the past and choosing Helian Chunshui, who had been steadfast for many years.

One has been neglected for many years, and only regretted it when he was in trouble. The other is determined, knowing that life and death are unpredictable on this trip, but still brought a few family members and cronies to save people, and never complained from the beginning to the end.Su Ye asked himself, and felt that as long as he had eyes, he would choose the latter.

Moreover, Qi Shaoshang, the "Nine Existing Dragon", is certainly a hero, but isn't Helian Chunshui who is in danger?He was born in a general family, and he has practiced the "death-killing gun in the remaining mountains and waters" to perfection. He is good at martial arts and smart, and he doesn't show mercy everywhere just because he is the son of the Hou family.He waited for so long, and finally waited for Mrs. Xi to change her mind, which was justified.

She was about to comfort the red tears, but she heard her say: "In the ruined city, there was my fourth sister, Nan Wanchu. She also fell in love with someone she shouldn't love. She was so worried all day long that she couldn't help but look and found that person was fooling around with a prostitute. She couldn't stand it, she couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear it, and finally committed suicide. Alas, she was really stupid, she lost her life, and people didn't take her seriously , what a pain."

Su Ye was silent for a while, and asked, "What did you do to that man?"

Xi Honglei said calmly: "Kill him, and pay for Wan Chu's life. But I know very well, it's useless."

Su Ye said: "Are you afraid of repeating the same mistakes?"

Xi Honglei finally smiled, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid, I just don't want to. The matter has come to this point, Shaoshang is safe and sound, and he doesn't need me by his side. Rui Nuo City was originally built for him, so there is no need to build it again. That's it, maybe in the near future, we will meet again in the capital."

According to Xi Honglei, she has not told Qi Shaoshang about this decision.But everyone is about to bid farewell to Yin Chengfeng and leave Qingtian Village, so it won't be too long.Although Su Ye felt that the timing was not coincidental, he had no choice but to ask Ye Chouhong to inform Qi Shaoshang that the Dragon King of Wuhu was in the village and wanted to see him.

When she saw Qi Shaoshang, she had exactly the same purpose as seeing Qi Honglei, to ask him about his plans.Since Xi Honglei decided to give up destroying Nuo City, she had to properly arrange for those fleeing women and deal with the gold and silver belongings returned by the government.This will take a lot of time, anyway, Helian Chunshui will always help, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

The same goes for Qi Shaoshang.The eight chiefs of Lianyunzhai died and rebelled, leaving only Mu Jiuping alone.The stockade is still there, but things are different and people are different. Most of the surviving people have neglected righteousness for profit and seek refuge in Gu Xichao, so they must be expelled as soon as possible.But the others were at a loss, hesitant, and found that several village owners had died, and the village owners had fled because of guilt, so they hesitated to follow Gu Xichao, they were not real traitors.

According to Su Ye's thinking, this group of people can be ignored.The first type of people flutters with the wind like weeds on the wall. If you take refuge in one today, you will take refuge in another tomorrow. What's the use of coming?The second type of people is simple-minded, unable to choose their own boss, follow whoever is in the top position, and live in the rivers and lakes just to make a living. It is simply not as good as the first type.However, if Qi Shaoshang's head was caught by the door and he insisted that they stay, she would have nothing to say.

She changed into the uniform of the Dragon King of Five Lakes, carefully concealed her appearance, and stood in front of the window, watching the mountains under the setting sun with her hands behind her back.She did this not because she wanted to put on airs, nor because she was extremely bored, but because she really liked natural scenery.The mountains are covered with golden colors and are mottled. Compared with her experience in dealing with people in life, the beauty cannot be described in words.

Looking at the mountains and rivers, flowers and plants, glaciers and waterfalls, the sea and the sky, she always feels that she has left the world and is traveling in the wind in the boundless sky, at ease, forgetting all the troubles in this life.However, if someone said something nearby, she had to recover from her imagination and deal with everything patiently.

When the fire cloud turned dark gray and black, and the color of the colorful clouds gradually dimmed, Qi Shaoshang finally came.As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw the back of the Dragon King of Five Lakes after a long absence.The back view is just the back view, but because of the different standing postures, it has the style of seeing all the mountains and small mountains at a glance.

I don't know why, but a surge of gratitude suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, thanking him for being fair and trustworthy when he was an ally, and for saving him with all his strength when he lost power, so he didn't hesitate to take action himself.He had only met the Dragon King once before, so there was really no friendship.After this incident, his feeling was completely different from before.

Su Ye turned around slowly, using the black cloth as a cover, and looked at Qi Shaoshang carefully.She noticed that his brows were furrowed even tighter than Mrs. Xi's, and her right hand was clenched into a fist unconsciously, and she sighed secretly, thinking: "It's too bad, Xi Honglei has told him."

Most things in the world are cruel.Children can still take shelter from their parents and don't have to face it alone.Adults have to grit their teeth and stand firm, recognizing that things cannot go as they wish, and when bad things happen, they can only try their best to encourage themselves and find a way to escape.If you succeed, you can cross this hurdle and usher in the next misfortune; if you fail, your life will probably end here, and there will be no future to speak of.

At this moment, Su Ye really couldn't bear to greet him, forcing him to talk about careers that were even more failed than relationships when he was broken up not long ago.But everyone has come, so we can't ask him to leave right away.

Qi Shaoshang lost his left arm, so he couldn't clasp his fists as a salute, nor could he make a bow, so he bowed his body and said, "It's been a long time, Dragon King. Your majesty still looks as good as before. Congratulations."

Su Ye said: "Brother Qi's recovery is something worth celebrating, please sit down."

When Qi Shaoshang faced Su Ye, his attitude was far more natural than that of the Dragon King of Five Lakes, and he was more likely to reveal his true emotions and speak more casually.He regards her as a young and beautiful woman, so it is natural.But the Dragon King of Five Lakes doesn't have a good voice, he doesn't look good, and his skin is not delicate and fair, which can only arouse the cautious attitude of the conversation partner.

However, the Dragon King can ask some questions, but it is not convenient for Su Ye.She still has one more important problem, and she has to talk face to face before she pretends to be like this ghost again.At this moment, the two of them were sitting across a table, looking extremely bored, without any sense of freedom.

Su Ye personally poured tea for him, and Qi Shaoshang thanked him, but he didn't go to get the teacup, obviously his mind was not on the tea.Seeing him like this, she didn't talk nonsense, she put the topic on the right track with just a few words, and said coldly: "Brother Qi, you don't have to be so polite, let alone worry about the emperor's rewards, which are what you deserve. I heard that after Gu Xichao was taken away by Grandpa Longba, his whereabouts are unknown, do you want to seek revenge from him and go back to the border to rectify Lianyunzhai?"

When Qi Shaoshang heard Gu Xichao's name, he snorted, like a sneer, but also like a simple hum, there was absolutely no joy in his voice.He didn't make any attempt to hide it, and just responded indifferently: "Yes, he and Jin Lin are both my enemies. Brother Tie Shou doesn't bother to argue with them, but I have to."

After all, he didn't forget the cup of tea. He picked it up at this moment, drank it down, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Wen Zhang, Xian Yutong, and Leng Hu'er haven't got the antidote yet, Miss Su seems I also have no intention of giving them an antidote. They will die from the poison soon, and I don’t need to take action. If they survived safely, it’s not too late to mention revenge.”

Su Ye nodded and said, "That's right, wealth and wealth are found in danger. If you don't have this ability, you will have to admit it when you get revenge."

Qi Shaoshang didn't seem to want to talk too much, he said: "Dragon King came to Qingtianzhai and asked to see Qi by name, is it just to ask Gu Xichao?"

Su Ye smiled and said, "Of course not. The emperor issued an imperial decree asking the government to help you rebuild Lianyun Village. Do you want to do this, or do you have other plans?"

Qi Shaoshang and Mrs. Xi agree in love and have similar personalities, but they are completely different in terms of conversation.After all, Xi Honglei is a woman with a delicate and sensitive mind. When she meets Su Ye, who is also a woman, she will inevitably forget her feelings for a while and confide her heart to her, and she does not avoid emotional problems.Qi Shaoshang was just the opposite. If he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, he had to go straight to the point and force him to say it.

Qi Shaoshang laughed at himself and sighed: "If the Dragon King is concerned about your gang's horses, go ask Gu Xichao for them, Qi knows nothing about it."

Su Ye said: "Brother Qi, this old man is getting older, the older you are, the thicker your skin is, and you always say what you say, and you can't stand being perfunctory. I will keep asking until you answer."

Qi Shaoshang put away his smile and glanced at her, but he didn't hear anything unusual or see anything wrong.He didn't like to cover up, but he didn't want to mention Mrs. Xi's name immediately because of the mixed feelings of shock and grief, as if being swallowed by lightning.Su Ye insisted on asking, and he didn't refuse any more. He said calmly, "At first, I did intend to go back to Lianyunzhai with my aunt, to gather the brothers who had escaped and hid, and regroup. It's a pity... my aunt didn't think so."

Su Ye said: "So you don't want to do this either?"

Qi Shaoshang hesitated for a while, and finally replied: "Yes, I am discouraged and have lost interest in anything. If the Dragon King has something to say, you might as well say it out loud. Everyone in the world knows that Qi Shaoshang There is red tears, and the destruction of Nuocheng came from this, because I broke my promise to her. Now that I have fallen to this point, I only have to blame myself."

Su Ye said slowly: "Don't think so. Everyone should be responsible for what they have done. Some people admit it frankly, and some people are dying."

Qi Shaoshang sneered and said, "Fortunately, I'm not a dying person."

The sky always gets dark quickly, and by the time Qi Shaoshang finished speaking about his choice to hold back his red tears, the sky had completely plunged into darkness, seeing that the night was falling, and the long night was approaching.Neither of them had the will to light a lamp, and they were still sitting where they were, thinking about their own affairs.

Qi Shaoshang was thinking about stopping the red tears, but she was thinking about Su Mengzhen.She always believes that if two people are happy together, then they should be together forever. If not, then they have to break up as soon as possible and go their separate ways, lest love will turn into hatred and get out of hand.In the world, there are too few things that can make people happy, and too many things that make people sad and angry.That being the case, there is no need for a person to look for trouble and cling to his lover who makes him miserable.

On this point, she and Xi Honglei almost have the same idea.Love or unforgettable, forever unforgettable.But if it's soaked with tears, why not just go on a date with an onion?

Before Qi Shaoshang saw her, he had told his brothers not to look for him everywhere, and Ye Chouhong also made corresponding arrangements, so so far, no one has come to disturb them.She was immersed in the strange and sad atmosphere, and remained silent for a moment, Fang said: "I am not very interested in the love and hatred between you. You can figure it out immediately and don't make entanglements. You are already among the most frustrated people." Outstanding."

Qi Shaoshang smiled wryly and said, "Thanks for the praise. Let's not talk about it. There is another piece of news that you may not have heard."

Su Ye said: "Oh?"

Qi Shaoshang said: "Brother Tie...I mean, Tie Youxia, the second-ranked Tie Shou of the Four Famous Arrestors, took off his official uniform and resigned from his official position in order to help me. The emperor ordered him to reinstate his post, but he I don't want to accept my life, and I don't want to go back to Beijing."

Su Ye had indeed never heard of this news. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Really? That's strange. You haven't sent someone to the capital to inform Zhuge Xiaohua, and tell him that his beloved disciple wants to runaway?"

Qi Shaoshang respected Tie Shou's character very much, and he was inseparable with him. He didn't want to laugh at what she said, so he frowned and said, "Dragon King doesn't want to know the reason?"

Su Ye said: "If you talk about chasing your life, I might not be able to figure out the reason, but Tie Shou's mind is very clear. This man is kind, soft-hearted, and upright. He learned that the emperor and his powerful ministers were in collusion and won the throne. It's not right. One can imagine the blow he suffered when he hunted down the clan brothers and was suspected of murdering the Queen Mother. It's hard for a gentleman to act when a jackal is in power. It's not normal for him to doubt the six doors and feel that what he has done is meaningless very?"

Qi Shaoshang remained silent for a while, before saying for a long time: "That's true. When the eunuch read out the imperial decree, I felt extremely ridiculous, let alone him."

Su Yedao: "You told me about this because... I understand, he wants to become a bandit, join Lianyun village, and use the rules of the world to fight for justice?"

She didn't wait for Qi Shaoshang's answer, and then said: "This is a good choice."

Qi Shaoshang asked curiously, "You really think so?"

Su Ye said: "Do I need to lie? As a man, if he really wants to leave, he must first report to Zhuge Xiaohua. If Zhuge thinks it's okay, then it's okay. Speaking of which, you specifically mentioned Tie Shou, do you mean to make Lian Leave Yunzhai to him, and wander around the world by yourself?"

Qi Shaoshang leaned on the back of the chair and stared at her coldly, but he could only see a drooping black cloth, but could not see the expression behind the black cloth.He suppressed the desire to lift the black cloth, and said word by word: "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from you. Iron hands can't get rid of the demons in your heart, and so can Qi. I need time to think clearly, or I will forcefully go back to Lianyunzhai , is just a mediocre village master who is suspicious all day long."

If he wholeheartedly wanted to rebuild the cottage, Su Ye would not have much to say. At most, he would help him and renew the alliance.But she guessed Qi Shaoshang's decision in advance, and she was in the middle of her heart at this moment, and said calmly: "That's fine, but, if Brother Qi has nowhere to go, why not join Twelve Links for a while and help me for a while. Wait." When you figure it out, you can go or stay as you like, the old man will never force you to stay."

Qi Shaoshang trembled all over, and cried out: "What did you say?"

He straightened his body and looked at the black cloth in disbelief.The old and heavy voice of the Dragon King of Five Lakes was coming into his ears from behind the black cloth, his tone was extremely flat but also extremely firm, "You have dealt with our gang for a long time, so you should understand our behavior very well. Cheng Ying They are not so much my subordinates as my friends. When our gang first entered the capital, it was time to use talents. Brother Qi is both civil and military, with a long-term vision and a chivalrous heart. The old man would rather trust you than I don’t want to trust people whose origins I don’t know.”

When Qi Shaoshang heard her calling Cheng Ying, Ren Yingying and others "friends", he felt it was ridiculous and couldn't be dispelled, so he secretly laughed at him for being old and lustful, and almost didn't understand what she said behind her.However, just listening to the previous few sentences, the meaning of the Five Lakes Dragon King's solicitation is already very clear.

The leader of Twelve Links invited him face to face and asked him to work for Twelve Links.

He was used to being the head of Lianyun Village, and he didn't want to obey other people's orders.Back then, he disregarded the kindness of Lei Juan's cultivation, left Thunder Martial Hall, and set up his own family, precisely because he didn't want to be subservient to others.He used to think that he was born to be the boss and should not be inferior to anyone, but recently he had deep doubts about this.He was betrayed by his confidant, his best friend turned to the enemy, and he resolutely cut off his love even with red tears, which made him extremely frustrated and troubled.

Therefore, it seems that there is not so much difference between doing things for others and being the master of the house.But what the Dragon King of Five Lakes said was true and true, adding another weight to his proposal.He knew that the Twelve Links Wu gang had strict rules and strictly prohibited committing crimes, but they were extremely lenient in leaving and leaving the gang, and never had strict and harsh rules.He often corresponded with several managers, and he was no stranger to them. Recently, he met Aunt Gongsun.Working with them seemed like a blessing rather than a torture.

He originally just wanted to go far away, go to a place where no one knew him, find the answer and come back.But as soon as Su Ye said, he felt that there was nowhere in Tianya that he could call home, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with joining the Twelve Links for the time being.Twelve Lianhuanwu is extremely powerful, not comparable to Lianyunzhai, he has no evil deeds, and there is no need to worry about the Dragon King of Five Lakes forcing him to do things that are harmful to nature and reason.

When Su Ye first opened his mouth, he just wanted to blurt out his refusal, but after thinking about it carefully, he hesitated, not knowing whether he should agree or not.For him, it's better to have something to do than to waste time.

Seeing that his expression was shaken, Su Ye knew that he was moved and was thinking about it, so he didn't rush him, but said: "If Brother Qi is not happy, just pretend that I never said it. You don't have to give me an answer right away, why don't you give me an answer?" If Tian is interested, you can go to the capital sub-helm to find me at any time."

Qi Shaoshang asked suddenly: "Have you been in the capital all this time?"

Su Ye smiled and said: "Where else can I be? Even if I travel far away, people will think that I am there. Brother Qi thinks that Lei Shun has not attacked the capital branch for so long because he is afraid that Su Meng will be behind the oriole ? No, what he is afraid of is that I will show up suddenly and join hands with Su Mengzhen to reverse the situation in an instant."

Qi Shaoshang was still in deep thought, but she had already stood up and said, "That's all for now, Brother Qi, please take care."
