Life Hunter

"Just came back." Li Qingxian said.

"Let's get together when we're free in some time. I've been having bad luck lately, so don't be surprised if I didn't come to see you."

Li Qingxian sighed.

The two met because of Shen Xiaoyi. At that time, Qiu Ye wanted to cooperate with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in mining.

However, the results of Shen Xiaoyi's deduction were murky and uncertain. Later, he even met Ye Wei and witnessed the explosion of Ming Mountain and the burial of Li Qingxian and Ye Wei. Shen Xiaoyi gave up cooperation.

Without a collaborator, the Qiu family's mining project was shelved.

After that, Qiu Ye and Li Qingxian entered the Qingyun Examination and got the benefits, sharing their luck and being promoted to the sixth rank in one fell swoop.

He could have made great achievements on the frontier, but unexpectedly he suffered a sudden disaster and was accused of betraying his comrades. It was only recently that he was cleared of suspicion.

Li Qingxian said goodbye to everyone, and left the Mingshu Tea House with Guo Xiang first.

When they arrived at Night Guard, Li Qingxian separated from Guo Xiang, and went to Liuyang Duke's Mansion under the stars and the moon.

After Li Qingxian made the announcement, he followed the concierge and walked inside, looking around as he walked.

In the dark night, the tiles on the roof are occasionally broken, the paint is peeling off the columns, the wooden windows of the verandah are cracked, and the weeds in the garden cover the flowers.

Not long after, the concierge arrived in front of a small courtyard and said, "This is my young master's courtyard."

"Thank you."

Li Qingxian thanked him and walked into the courtyard.

After walking a few steps, I heard Qiu Ye's voice in the room.

"My father's disease is difficult to get rid of. Spending money all day long is like running water. Look at what other old things we have, and sell them if you can. The second brother is okay. Although his martial arts is still at the tenth level, he is doing his duty honestly. The third brother is old. The fourth and fifth children, neither one of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. Seeing that I have suffered a disaster, they actually want to plot against me as the young master. These three idiots, don’t you know that the Qiu family has become an empty shell now? You have been a child since I was a child. In the Qiu family, there are some things that I have to worry about. Especially raising money, the Qiu family can survive for a month at most, and after one month, I am afraid they will have to sell the land. "

"Young Master, no one has bought those mountains in Beichang County yet?"

"Shen Xiaoyi, you know, right? The fortune tellers of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, even those with such a vision, can't tell the truth. With our current financial resources, we can't afford the exploration and mining of that mountain. Otherwise, the price Reduce it by another 20%.”

"yes."

"You go ahead and I'll take care of you for a few more days."

"Old slave, please retire."

Squeak...

The door opened, and an old man came out. When he saw Li Qingxian, he stopped and asked tentatively: "What do you call this young master?"

"My surname is Li, my given name is Qingxian."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Li, please."

"Qingxian, why are you here? Who is guarding the door today? Why didn't you tell me? These guys..." Qiu Ye stopped speaking and rushed to the door in three steps and two steps at a time. The anger on his face dissipated and he squeezed out a smile, "These Don’t worry about being down and out.”

Qiu Ye's eyes averted, a light blush flashed across his cheeks, and he clenched his hands into fists and slowly released them.

He was wearing a white sweatshirt, and there were subtle scars and bruises on his face, neck and other exposed skin.

Li Qingxian smiled and said, "I asked the concierge to bring me here directly. Don't blame him. Why, you won't let me sit in the room?"

"Come on, come on, the house is quite messy. I didn't let the maid clean it up. Don't mind." Qiu Ye hurriedly turned to greet him.

When I walked to the door, a strong smell of medicine hit my face.

Li Qingxian sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that Qiu Ye had been tortured a lot by the trick game.

"Come, sit down." Qiu Ye led Li Qingxian to the main seat in the main hall.

Li Qingxian looked around the room. The pale marks of the removed calligraphy and paintings on the wall were clearly visible. The handle of the master's chair in the main seat was polished and the bedroom door curtain was half off.

Before Li Qingxian could sit down, Qiu Ye lowered his head and turned around and said, "I'll boil water for you to make tea."

Li Qingxian opened his mouth, then stopped, looked at Qiu Ye's figure with his back, and after a few breaths he said, "A fight was started in the military prison?"

Qiu Ye poured water slowly while carrying Li Qingxian on his back, and said with a smile: "After entering there, there is no way to escape unscathed. But fortunately, my family still has some dignity, no muscles or bones were injured, just skin injuries."

Li Qingxian remained silent. Qiu Ye was a sixth-grade martial artist, and ordinary swords could no longer cut his skin.

Li Qingxian said: "What do you plan to do with your life?"

Qiu Ye sighed and said: "I have been helping my family, and even neglected my practice to earn more money. Who knows... I plan to leave the capital of God in a few days, and use my father's old face to go to the south to find a career. . Back then, King Jin served under his father, and the two had a good relationship."

Li Qingxian remembered that the mother of King Chu and the mother of King Jin competed for favor, and in the end both of them were left out in the cold by Emperor Taining.

In the past two years, Emperor Taining has been rumored to be seriously ill from time to time, and the princes have become more and more active.

Li Qingxian said: "The south has always been good. Although the military merit is not as good as the north, it is better in safety and stability."

Qiu Ye turned around, took the hot water bottle and put it on the table. While making tea, he said: "I don't want to go south unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Why?"

Qiu Ye glanced outside the door and said: "I have heard my father tell me since I was a child how Qi State treated small countries in the south. It's okay to say that Jingyang State, Sulu State, etc., these countries have always been unreasonable and behave like monkeys. The savages are now conquered and allowed to be Qi's dogs and work for Da Qi. But some other countries, such as Dongding Kingdom and Mo Country, have no hostility to Qi Kingdom and just live their own small lives. But Qi State However, all parties in the country are like crazy demons. They seem to be unable to see the threat of the demon clan. They invest a lot of resources to madly target the southern countries, including sneak attacks, assassinations, annihilation, subversion, and provoking conflicts... and even let the demons go to the southern countries to establish demon chambers. , cultivating the Death Demon Land. It was okay in the past few years, but in these years, the patience of the southern countries has reached its limit, and it has become clear that they will join forces with the Dongding Kingdom to fight against Da Qi. You said, forcing good people into opponents, why... …”

Li Qingxian listened to Qiu Ye's nagging, and then recalled the previous conversation, and vaguely understood that what Qi had done to the southern countries back then was countless.

Qiu Ye chattered for a long time, took a look at the tea, coughed slightly, stood up and said: "The tea is cold, I'll boil the water."

"No need to be polite." Li Qingxian pointed at the tea and cast a spell, and a hot spell fell into the water. After three breaths, the tea was boiling and steaming.

"You are still very good at Dharma cultivation." Qiu Ye smiled and made tea again.

Li Qingxian listened to the sound of tea falling into the teapot and said, "Have you heard about my matter?"

"Well, there are some rumors, but anyone with a clear eye knows that these are temporary and no one can suppress you." Qiu Ye raised his head and smiled slightly.

Li Qingxian said: "I am also enjoying my leisure time, and I am planning to visit old friends recently. Although the memory of Guicheng is blurry, our friendship cannot be faked, and some of the feelings are true. I always feel that we worked together at that time Yes, otherwise why didn’t a few of our acquaintances die, but not a single one of the others survived.”
