Chapter One
A man appeared in the forest. He was not tall. He was young and without a crown. He was wearing a cherry-colored lotus scarf. He was wearing a fragrant silk and silk chiffon warm clothes. It was dyed with red maple leaves. His waist was tied with a big belt. The middle was inlaid with beautiful jade. The jade was like mutton fat. .The band is blood red.
He hummed a small tune and walked over to Shi Shiran. He raised the gun in his hand and blew it gently. The green smoke dissipated. A pair of willow-leaf eyes were filled with smiles.
Chang Sihao was surprised and happy. He walked out quickly: "Jue Xiang."
Qin Juexiang was slightly surprised. But he responded calmly with a smile: "Brother."
Shui Yanxiang shouted angrily: "Why are you sneaking up and hurting people?"
Qin Juexiang calmly pressed gunpowder into the gun. He said coldly: "Did you send someone to notify you when you arrived at the Qin Mansion?" Changsun Xiaochi stretched out his arm to stop Shui Yanxiang and moved forward slowly. He handed over his hand and said, "It turns out that Young Master Qin has arrived. Young Master is always kind. The eldest grandson is polite when he smiles." Qin Jue said loudly: "Okay. I am very well. I have never been so good. If you are polite, take it out. I have an appetite. It has always been great. It welcomes all who come. If there is something good, it must be accepted. Just bow and kowtow or something useless."
The eldest grandson Xiaochi wrinkled his face and smiled slightly. He said: "Although we have reached a reconciliation in the former case, I cannot escape the blame for the murder of the Qin Mansion. If Young Master Qin wants to take revenge, just come to me. Miss Shui is an outsider. I don’t understand martial arts. I hope you can show your skill."
Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "The master of the pavilion is quite good to her. Okay. If I promise not to move her, the master of the pavilion might just capture her without mercy."
The eldest grandson smiled and said: "I failed to give her happiness. At least I have to give her peace. If Young Master Qin can keep his word, I am willing to accept it."
Shui Yanxiang said anxiously: "You're crazy. His musket can only hold one shot at a time. You're still afraid that you won't be able to hold it down."
Looking at the calm expression of his eldest grandson Xiaochi, Qin Juexiang smiled, nodded in appreciation, and blew a whistle gently. Three more people appeared in the forest on the two wings behind him. Each held a fire gun with a flat end in his hand. His expression was stern. He aimed it. ahead.
Shui Yanxiang was stunned immediately.
Chang Sihao saw that these six people looked unfamiliar and did not recognize them. They must be supplementary or newly recruited experts from each branch.
Qin Juexiang held an iron bullet with two fingers. He threw it into the mouth of the gun with contempt and freehand, and pressed it tightly. He said with a smile: "People say that people are ruthless. That is absolutely true. This gun hit the head, but there is still life. What? You just urge him to kill me, without considering his life or death at all. Master Changsun Pavilion, is such a woman worthy of you doing this for her?"
Changsun smiled and said: "I love her this time. I never thought about whether it was worth it."
Qin Juexiang pursed his lips: "Tsk, tsk, tsk. There are so many sincere hearts in the world. A lustful person is a lustful person. If she was born like a sow, would you still like her? Alas, I always thought that Juhao Pavilion could be in the situation it is today. .The leader must also be a great hero. I didn’t expect the pavilion master to act coquettishly and speak artificially. It’s really disappointing. Hehe.”
The eldest grandson Xiaochi's eyes froze. He smiled slowly and said, "Yes... I do love her beauty."
This sentence was so candid that everyone had the illusion that they had been deceived. From a distance, Shui Yanxiang's face suddenly turned cold, her breathing stopped, and her pounding heartbeat seemed to be heard in her eardrums.
The eldest grandson smiled and looked into the orange sky at night: "Her face is like the sunset on the horizon. If you look at it a thousand times, you will see a thousand kinds of beauty. Who wouldn't love such beauty? .”
After saying that, he smiled solemnly and slowly turned his head to Shui Yanxiang: "In the past, I ordered you to do many things you shouldn't do. You didn't complain. Instead, you obeyed everything. There were some things I didn't expect. You also do it for me. No one in this world understands me better than you. No one has paid more for me than you. In this world, there may be women more beautiful than you. However, they stand This place, to me, is just the starlight in front of a blind man."
Shui Yanxiang's eyes felt sour, and she felt that the whole world was rippled. When she came to her senses, her waist had been held in the arms of Changsun Xiaochi. She felt warm all over her body, and her whole body exuded a radiance of happiness.
The eldest grandson Xiaochi buried his head and sniffed her hair. He chanted: "When you are drunk, you will be fascinated by the eyes of a hero. We met at the foot of the Zhuluo Mountain. The young uncle accidentally broke the green plum. Only then did Yiguang shed tears for ten years." Xiaoxiang. It’s not until today that I understand your songs, your heart, your suffering, and who is the most important to me in this world. Even if it’s just for you, it doesn’t matter.”
Qin Juexiang rubbed his arms and said: "Master Changsun Pavilion, now you are left alone. Could it be that you want to say something nice and let this woman devote herself as a human shield? Hahahaha..."
Changsun Xiaochi and Shui Yanxiang, one is like a fisherman looking at the sea, and the other is like a woodcutter listening to the wind. They look at each other and smile. They understand each other and seem to have not heard his words.
Qin Juexiang smiled boringly. He curled his lips and said: "Okay. Okay. You two regard death as home. It would be boring to die. Well. I have a small proposal that will make both of us happy. I wonder if the master of the pavilion is interested in hearing it. .”
Changsun Xiaochi moved his eyes and signaled that he was listening.
Qin Juexiang walked back and forth for a few steps and said with a smile: "The Qin family has a lot of properties. My favorite business is the pawn shop. I like to sit behind the high counter and look down at the customers when I have nothing to do. Because before discussing business, if you can stand first When you are in a favorable position, you will always feel better. This is really a bad habit. In fact, the master of the cabinet is a hero. I have always admired you very much. I was so offended just now. I hope the master of the cabinet will not blame you and don't affect our mood. .”
Changsun Xiaochi was slightly surprised when he heard that he actually apologized to him. He said: "Young Master Qin, there is no need to be polite. Please speak frankly."
Qin Juexiang lowered his gun and said: "I also know a little about the news in Beijing. I heard that the pavilion master intends to withdraw from the world. Regardless of the reason, this move is too naive. If the pavilion master thinks to himself If you don’t have talent and virtue, you can’t control the world’s heroes. You don’t have to be so dejected. It is said that it is easy to get a thousand armies but it is hard to find a general. I always make the best use of everything and make the best use of people. If the master of the pavilion is willing to come over and help our Qin family, in the future When the world is unified, the position of the master of the pavilion must be above others.
Changsun Xiaochi said calmly: "Young Master Qin's words are a bit more naive."
Qin Juexiang said: "Really? I'm afraid the master of the pavilion still doesn't know the situation. Our Qin family has worked together to recruit people with lofty ideals and recruit talents. In just two months, we have tripled the number of people in each branch. And It is still increasing. It is expected that in the next spring next year, the total number of combatants will double again to more than 60,000. Although the Pavilion Master also controls tens of thousands of people in Jiangnan, I am afraid that not all of these tens of thousands of people will There are elites with fighting power. There are also many people who are responsible for business, supply and other chores. They are slightly inferior to the current Qin family. I am planning to learn from the regulations of the Hundred Swords Alliance and also establish three departments to share management. Economy, foreign affairs and war. And appoint three general managers to take care of the corresponding affairs. If the master of the pavilion can submit to me, one of these general managers must be you. When the situation is favorable, it will definitely be comparable to the scenery of the small Juhao Pavilion Master. Much more.”
Shui Yanxiang sneered: "Children only know how to brag and deceive others by telling lies. They think that other people's minds are too simple. Sixty thousand people plus redundant chores are at least close to one hundred thousand. One hundred thousand people alone." Can you afford the food, clothing and housing expenses?"
Qin Juexiang laughed and said: "When I talk, I think about the expenses of food and accommodation. It's really a woman's fault. My Qin family is a very rich man in Jinzhong. Needless to say, there is also a small artificial lake called Xilianchi in my house. Before the water was diverted into the lake, three stone chambers were built at the bottom, and there were slides connected to the buildings on the ground. My grandfather was a cautious person. He knew that it was not easy to gather wealth, and he was afraid that his descendants would be unworthy, so he left behind others. Every year 20% of the Qin family's total income in Jinzhong was turned into gold, melted, and poured into the stone chamber at the bottom of the lake. It has never been shut down and has never been used in these years. I am a prodigal person, so I dug it up. Although my grandfather counted It took ten years of work to fill only two stone chambers. But the gold stored in one of them was enough for 100,000 people to squander it for five years. The so-called making money is not difficult. This gold is used for business operations to maintain 200,000 people. The cost of people is not a problem either.”
He looked at his eldest grandson and smiled: "Master, do you still think I'm naive now?" Chang Sihao saw his eyes were calm and determined. He couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat: "Could he be serious?" Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Friend Jiang, Luo Hulu and Wei Lingchuan had already heard the gunfire and were chasing after him.
The eldest grandson smiled and said: "Young Master Qin, I appreciate your kindness."
Qin Juexiang said coldly: "I'm not kidding. Where do you think you can retreat? My grandfather had a peace of mind at the beginning. At first he just shrunk the front line and whitewashed various industries, but still retained considerable strength. It's still extremely miserable in the end. Not to mention you who are now alone. Do you think you can return to Jiangnan safely, reminisce about old friendships with old friends, laugh about romance, and live a leisurely life?"
The eldest grandson Xiaochi's eyes slowly fell: "The sky is vast and the earth is vast. Everywhere is not home. I don't want to go back to Jiangnan anymore."
Qin Juexiang sneered: "Ha. You can't go back even if you want to. You came here lightly. You didn't bring any troops with you. In other words, the entire foundation of Juhao Pavilion is now controlled by Mingcheng Jun. Now that you are gone, Mr. Mingcheng will definitely take over the helm and be promoted to the position of Pavilion Master. He will also greatly reduce the power of Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan. How can they compete with them when they go back? They have been assisting them for many years. Is this just a plan? Your friendship. With you, not only will your dream of the capital be shattered, but everything you have now will also be lost. Naturally, I will go crazy with anger. I must kill you to vent my anger. In order to secure your position as the Pavilion Lord, Mingcheng-Jun must also eradicate you."
The eldest grandson Xiaochi stared intently and remained silent.
Qin Juexiang's expression softened again: "Maybe the master of the pavilion is still worried about my grandfather. In fact, the deceased is already dead. Why should hatred remain in the heart forever? But the world is so big. There may not be many people who can see it as openly as me. . Juhao Pavilion has expanded year after year. There are fewer people to offend. All the blood debts will be recorded on your head. Now you have lost power and are alone. How many people want to seek revenge from you. How many people are waiting to add insult to injury. You, the invincible Pavilion Master, not only have enemies now, but enemies everywhere in the world."
Changsun Xiaochi looked sideways at the sky. The last glow was left on the mountain peak. He murmured: "Everything I have experienced in the past two days has been beyond expectation. At the same time, it also made me understand that the friendship around me is... Loyalty and trust are so fragile. It is precisely because of this that my eyes really brightened up. The idea of staying away became stronger. Regarding this matter, Young Master Qin does not need to say more."
Qin Juexiang said: "What the Pavilion Master said is too childish. If you can be the master of the other party, why should you be his friend? It's just the two of them who are falling out with each other now. Before the news reaches Jiangnan, everything will still change hands.
opportunity. As long as you are willing to surrender, I will send someone to return to the river with you.
Nan. He said that Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan coveted the position of the Pavilion Master. They took advantage of the opportunity to enter the capital to plot against each other and spread false news. Then they would be eliminated. The tens of thousands of people in Juhao Pavilion could still be well controlled.
In our hands, we are all people who want to do great things. How to choose? I still can’t figure it out clearly.”
Chang Sihao was surprised and confused when he heard this. He thought about how he could become so arrogant after not seeing each other for a few days. The only one who really doesn't understand the situation now is you. The eldest grandson Xiaochi doesn't even want to take the throne anymore.
There is nothing else in the world that can catch his eye. Even if he is willing to be the master of the pavilion, how can he obey your orders? Jiang Shiyou and other three people have also understood. They exchanged looks with each other. They all felt that
The young master of the Qin family did things beyond his imagination.
Qin Juexiang took the first half step: "If the master of the pavilion agrees to do this, I would like to become brothers with you. Now everyone in the Qin family will obey my brother's orders. After the matter is completed, both sides will join forces. It will be all decided by my brother.
If the two of us join hands, there's nothing we can't accomplish."
Jiang Shiyou and others couldn't believe their ears when they heard this. Chang Sihao understood Qin Juexiang's nature best and felt even more bizarre.
However, everyone also understood in their hearts that Qin Juexiang's analysis and proposal were not unreasonable. Changsun Xiaochi was in an awkward situation now. If he really followed this plan, he would not only regain the position of Pavilion Master, but also annex the Qin family.
By then, the power and strength will surely surpass the Hundred Swords Alliance in one fell swoop and become the largest gang in the world. It will be even easier to sweep across the world.
Shui Yanxiang held her eldest grandson Xiaochi's injured arm with her hand. Her fingertips moved slightly.
Changsun Xiaochi felt that this was not a tremor of fear, but a hesitant question. He pressed her cold hand, turned to Qin Jue and said, "If I don't obey, Young Master Qin will still do it."
It’s time for revenge.”
