Northern River Sword

Su Yi and Qiaoer stayed in Dali for three full days, but they never found a chance to leave the country.Someone led soldiers to stop pedestrians on the street to search, and there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Even the common people heard that there would be a reward of 100 taels of silver for finding the murderer and the son-in-law, so they became more careful about the people around them.

Qiao'er was not at ease wherever she went, seeing soldiers blocking the way ahead for inspection, she dragged Su Yi to hide far away.

The two sat under the shade of a tree, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, a little tired.Su Yi was actually able to laugh, and said: "There is no unparalleled road, waiting like this is not an option. I have an idea."

Qiao'er said, "What idea?"

Su Yi said: "The last time we met someone in Qiujiazhuang, do you still remember?"

Qiaoer pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt blessed, and said, "You mean Master Shanshui? Of course I remember him, he is very good to you."

Su Yi said: "He became a monk at Longquan Temple in Dali. Let's ask him for help and find a way to send us out of the city, okay?"

Qiaoer was overjoyed, stood up and said: "You are still smart! Let's go find him!"

The two asked passers-by and found Longquan Temple.Longquan Temple was established in the previous dynasty. It is a majestic ancient temple with a history of one hundred years.

Longquan Temple refuses female guests to offer incense, so Qiaoer has to wait outside.Su Yi pretended to be a pilgrim and sneaked in. Although he was dressed in rags, fortunately there were many poor people who went to offer incense, so he was not conspicuous among them.

Su Yi's drunkard's intention was not to drink, he didn't go to the Daxiong Hall to offer incense, but instead looked around near the meditation room.An old monk sweeping the floor said: "This little benefactor, offering incense and praying for blessings is in the front hall, not here."

Su Yi clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, hello master. We are looking for a landscape master, where is he?"

Monk Sweeping the Floor was a little surprised. He glanced at him and said, "What is the little benefactor looking for Monk Shanshui?"

Su Yixin said: "I once met him once. A friend from my hometown asked me to deliver a letter to him, and asked me to deliver it to him face to face."

Monk Sweeping the Floor said: "So that's the case. He came back a few days ago, and wandered away again in the past few days."

Su Yi was a little disappointed, and said, "Then when will he come back?"

The sweeping monk said: "I don't know. The little benefactor gave the letter to the poor monk, and it's the same for me to deliver it on my behalf."

Su Yi rolled his eyes, and thought: "I don't have any letters for you...I've been here, why don't you go and see Master Shanshui's residence."

He clutched his chest and said: "No, no, that uncle repeatedly told me to hand over the letter to Master Shanshui. I have been entrusted by others to be loyal to others, and I learned from it all the way. It is not short of these steps. I will definitely You have to put the letter in his house yourself to be sure."

Monk Sweeping the Floor was not persistent, and pointed out: "He lives in the room at the east end, you just go."

Su Yi found Monk Shanshui's meditation room, the door was ajar, he opened the door and entered.Although the room is simple, it is elegant.There is a couch against the wall, a qin and an incense burner by the window.The green bamboos and plantains outside the window reflect each other in the distance, and the green shadow can be seen when playing the piano.There are some scriptures on the bookshelf, and a vertical scroll is hung on the wall beside it, with a majestic waterfall painted on it.

His room was tidy, but the table was a little messy.The paper was dragged on the floor, with four poems written in cursive on it, and the pen was thrown aside, presumably it was written in a hurry.

Su Yi was originally curious and wanted to have a look at Master Shanshui's residence. Seeing how elegant the meditation room was, he thought to himself: "As expected of the son of the Gongsun family, he grew up in the brocade of poetry and books since he was a child. Elegance is deep in his bones. Becoming a monk is also very different, and the poems he composes are also unpredictable... Huh?"

He looked at the flying and flying characters on the paper before, and didn't read them carefully, but now when he read them carefully, he felt that these four lines of poetry were a bit weird, so he read them in a low voice.

"In the old days of the Qin Dynasty, the rain never stopped. I was drunk because of my drunkenness, so I sailed slowly."

Su Yi always felt that something was wrong, so he took two steps back to look again, and suddenly shuddered, and blurted out: "Qin Xiao harmed me... Is this a hidden acrostic poem? Master Shanshui was taken away by Qin Xiao?"

It turns out that the first word of every line in this poem is "Qin Xiao harmed me".Su Yi turned pale with shock, and said in his heart: "Master Shanshui expected that Qin Xiao would come to embarrass him, and there was no time to escape, so he wrote this poem in a hurry to remind people to save him? That's right...the pen and paper were still thrown on the table, It can be seen that the situation at that time was very urgent.”

Qin Xiao threatened to kill all the members of the Qiyingmeng. Master Shanshui had escaped from the world for more than ten years just to repent for what happened back then, and he still has not been able to escape this catastrophe.Qin Xiao's martial arts are so strong, if Master Shanshui fights against him, he may not be sure of victory.If he falls into Qin Xiao's hands, he will definitely suffer a lot, maybe he is no longer alive now.

The more Su Yi thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He ran out the door, thinking: "Master Shanshui taught me martial arts, he is kind to me, and he is a very good person. Even if I die, I must never let others harm Master Shanshui! We must find Qin Xiao as soon as possible, and if we find him, we will know the whereabouts of Master Shanshui!"

Su Yi made up his mind to save Monk Shanshui, and went out of the temple to tell Qiaoer about the matter.Qiao'er was also very worried about Monk Shanshui's safety, and said: "He is so kind to you, and now he is in trouble, we should go to rescue him! Don't worry, your business is my business. No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you. looking at you!"

Su Yi and Qiao'er walked into a tea shop, ordered a pot of tea, and asked the boss about Qin Xiao's background.The owner of the tea shop looked at him in surprise, and said, "You are from outside, haven't you even heard of Mr. Qin?"

Su Yi said: "Not long after I came here, I heard people talking about him in the streets and alleys, so I wanted to ask what happened to Mr. Qin?"

The owner of the tea shop said: "Then it's no wonder you don't know. Mr. Qin's name is Qin Xiao, his grandmother is Princess Yingying, and his grandfather is the famous Zhennan General. All the girls want to marry him. But it seems that this matter will not work out. Princess Ruyi has also taken a fancy to him. Isn’t she looking for him all over the streets and alleys... You ask so many questions, because you also want to find a son-in-law to get a reward Silver?"

Su Yi chuckled and admitted it.The owner of the tea shop said: "Forget it. I heard that the gangster who kidnapped Mr. Qin is two feet tall and very vicious. It's not your luck to meet him. If he does, it will be fatal!"

Su Yi thought in his heart: "The rumors spread more and more outrageous. Qin Xiao is simply the most vicious gangster in the world. There is no other gangster besides him!"

He finished his tea, asked the boss about the location of the General's Mansion, and followed Qiaoer to find it.

The gate of the General's Mansion was open, and someone was hanging lanterns and knotting red silk on the door plaque.The gate was open, and there was an endless stream of people who came to give gifts and congratulate them, as if there was some happy event.Su Yi inquired with others, and learned that Qin Yanbo's mother, Qin Yanbo, was about to celebrate her 40th birthday. Princess Ruyi took the opportunity to send someone to show her hospitality.

Although Qin Yanbo wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't keep the congratulatory guests out of the door, so he had to let him go.

Su Yi and Qiao'er watched for a while, and the team of Princess Ruyi giving gifts was like flowing water.Qiao'er was envious, and said softly, "What do you think are in those boxes?"

Su Yi said: "Silk silk, satin, gold, silver and jewellery, anyway, they are all good things that we have never seen before. If you go in and have a look, you will know!" He stood up and walked in eagerly.

Qiao'er quickly grabbed him and said, "Oh, don't mess around. That's the General's Mansion, ordinary people can't mess around."

Su Yi smiled and said: "Ordinary people can't break in, so it's fine to dress up as a gift giver?"

Qiao'er was startled, and said: "You want to get in? This...is it too dangerous?"

Su Yi said: "What's the danger? Do you still remember the disguise technique that Master taught you?"

Qiaoer hesitated and said, "□□I always wear it close to my body, but my hands are too clumsy, and it doesn't look like it. It can't stand a close inspection."

Su Yi said: "It's enough to fool around. I lower my head, who would stare at me?"

He took Qiao'er to the corner across the street, waited for a while, and saw a person approaching with a gift.Su Yi smiled and said: "The fat sheep is here." Standing up while speaking, he staggered and bumped into him.The man was startled and opened his mouth to scold.Su Yi stretched out his hand and flicked the jade pillow acupoint on the back of his head, the man suddenly felt dizzy, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

Su Yi quickly dragged the man to the side alley, took off his clothes and changed them on his own.Qiao'er frantically put a piece of diaper on Su Yi's face, pinched the root of the mountain for him, and pressed down the unruly mustache.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Qiao'er burst out laughing, and said: "It's too fake, how can there be such an ugly person."

Su Yi touched his face, and said, "Let's make do with it."

He picked up the gift and told Qiaoer to go back to the inn and wait.Qiao'er was still not at ease, Su Yi coaxed her to go back, and then walked into the general's mansion.

He entered the door and handed out greeting cards and gifts.A domestic servant led the way and invited him to the flower hall for tea.Su Yi walked in with his head down, but the servant didn't pay attention, and left after serving tea.

There were many people who came to give gifts in the flower hall, Su Yi quietly walked into the courtyard while no one was paying attention to him.He sneaked in to find Master Shanshui's whereabouts, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment because he was afraid that the old man would suffer.

Su Yi walked to the depths of the mansion.There were people coming and going in the general's mansion, everyone was very busy, no one paid attention to him.Su Yi thought to himself: "A place where Tibetans live should be a quiet place. It's not wrong to go to places with few people."

He walked around a field of camellia flowers, and the number of people gradually decreased.The house of the General's Mansion is very large, with elegant gardens and complex structures.Su Yi walked around in a detour, and was ignoring the place, when he suddenly saw a middle-aged woman walking towards the end of the porch, accompanied by a young man.Bamboo clumps blocked the corridor, and the two stopped behind the hanging flower door, unable to see clearly.

Su Yi hurriedly dodged and hid behind the rockery, thinking: "These two people must be very familiar with the terrain of the mansion, I will catch one later and ask about it."

The woman reprimanded softly: "The princess is looking for you everywhere now, and her people are ahead, you dare to come back."

The man said: "Mother's birthday is the top priority. Even if there are fires and swords, the son has to come back to celebrate her birthday."

Su Yi was startled when he heard that the man's voice was none other than Qin Xiao.He thought to himself: "It's him? It's too late for me to hide from him, and I just wanted to capture him to ask for directions. That's really daring. That woman is her mother? If he is so violent, his mother must She's also a dominatrix with a green face and fangs. This is a rare opportunity, so I'll have to take a look..."

Su Yi poked his head around and looked outside, but both of them were covered by green bamboos, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.Su Yi was very curious, and heard Qin Yanbo say: "Your sweetheart mother knows, so go away before no one finds out. There are so many people in the mansion, don't ask the princess to see you."

Qin Xiao said: "I'm wearing a mask, even if they see it, they won't be able to recognize it."

He knelt down and kowtowed three times to his mother, and said: "My son is not filial. I can't be with you on my mother's birthday. Wait a few days for my son to come back to accompany you, old man."

Qin Yanbo helped his son up, and said, "Okay, let's go." Qin Yanbo watched Qin Xiao leave, sighed softly, turned and left.

Su Yi sneaked a peek at her back, seeing her high-spirited and dignified, couldn't help feeling admiration.Thinking of her sigh just now, for some reason, my heart also felt uncomfortable.

He had no father or mother since he was a child, seeing that a person like Qin Xiao still has a family relationship, he couldn't help being envious.He thought to himself: "Although Qin Xiao is not very good, his mother must be a gentle and good person. Sigh... If I also have a mother who loves me like this, how wonderful it would be."

He was in a daze when he suddenly felt someone reaching out to grab his shoulder.Su Yi was startled suddenly, and was about to run away.The man jumped lightly, stopped in front of him, and shouted: "Who, what are you doing here sneakily?"

That man had a silver mask on his face, so it was naturally none other than his old acquaintance Qin Xiao.

When Su Yi saw him, he was like a rabbit seeing an eagle. He was afraid of being recognized by him, so he refused to say much, and just wanted to run away.Qin Xiao looked at the dick on his face, noticed something strange, and suddenly reached out and tore off his fake face.

Su Yi was exposed, very embarrassed, so he had to laugh a few times and said: "Brother Qin, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Qin Xiao still wanted to find him, but he didn't expect him to throw himself into the trap, and said in surprise, "It's you? What are you doing here?"

Su Yi said: "I... heard that Ling Tang celebrated her birthday, so I came here specially to congratulate her. I wish the old man a happy life every year, and a bright future every year." After he finished speaking, he wanted to leave.Qin Xiao said: "Don't go. You came just in time, I'll take you to see your mother."

Su Yi was as slippery as a fish, and was about to run away as soon as he got low.With quick eyes and quick hands, Qin Xiao grabbed his shoulder.Su Yi struggled desperately, and said in his mouth: "I won't go, the man will not go if he says he can't! Who knows what good intentions you have!"

Qin Xiao earnestly said: "Don't be afraid, my mother and I will never hurt you."

Su Yi was determined to be on guard against him, no matter what he said he would not believe it, desperately trying to escape.

Qin Xiao held him tightly, and the two were in a stalemate for a moment.Qin Xiao's voice was unusually calm, and said, "Turn around. I'll show you something."

Su Yi had no choice but to turn around, thinking that it would be of no benefit to go on like this.

Qin Xiao raised his hand and took off the mask on his face.That was the first time Su Yi saw him take off his mask, the two of them looked at each other, Su Yi's eyes widened.
