Alternative Jianghu Adventures

the next day.early morning.

Xiaoxue has been underground on and off for so many days, and the cloudy sky finally became clear.

The bright yellow light sprinkled lightly from the top of the head and fell on the old wooden window, which rarely brought warmth to the cold northwest.

Even so, the place where Shen Gongze lived in seclusion was chosen as a geomantic treasure.

——Through the grassland, there is a desert grotto, but there is a row of rolling mountains in the sky not far away.The secluded small courtyard is on the windward side of the mountains, just facing the sun. What's more, its location is just blocked by other mountains from the cold wind blowing from northwest to southeast. Therefore, even in winter, when thousands of trees wither, There is even a layer of lush grassland on the foot and side of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain are herds of cattle, horses and sheep raised by nomadic herdsmen, and tents like small hills are dotted in a vast expanse.

If it weren't for such a group of "out of place" Han people living on the mountainside, worrying about "family and country affairs" all day long, it would really be considered a paradise.

The sharp sunlight cut a blinding cold air on the edge of the sword, Xia Yun held the sword in his left hand, and the tip of the sword reached the gate of the "marriage room"——

In front of the door, Cheng Zhe was pushing open the wooden door with a contented face. Before he could get used to the dazzling sunlight outside, he was startled by Xia Yun's sudden "sneak attack".

"Why should I go to you? Do you want to kill people by guarding in front of other people's houses early in the morning?" Cheng Zhe pushed Xia Yun's sword on his neck in disgust, and couldn't help frowning.

"Tsk, it's already high in the sun and you can't get up!" Xia Yun sneered, "I got up early in the morning and practiced sword outside for so long, and it turned out that you two are fine, as if nothing happened... The years are so peaceful! "

Xia Yun narrowly winked at Cheng Zhe, and sighed three times, "What does that poem say? Good days are bitter and warm, and spring nights are short, so the king won't go to court early?"

"...It's the spring night and the short day. It's because the king doesn't go to court early." Qiao Anyue walked over from behind Xia Yun, and when she got close, she heard the man pretending to be a scholar again, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to play Xia Yun. "Your memory is not bad, why can't you always remember poems?"

Xia Yun leaned back generously, and Qiao Anyue hugged her waist without exception.

"...Can you stop acting like a child?" Qiao Anyue sighed, "Stand still."

Strange to say, since the two of them confirmed their intentions last night, before Qiao Anyue could show anything, Xia Yun became more obsessive than before.

Qiao Anyue looked at Xia Yun's current state of sitting or standing, and wondered more than once whether this person had bones or not.

—— Or is it that the way this person expresses his love is so... weird?

"I don't!" Xia Yun shouted rebelliously.

Inexplicably feeling that the scene in front of him was a bit dazzling, Cheng Zhe resisted the urge to drag He Lianqiu out of the room, and interrupted unbearably: "Hey, what are you doing here so early in the morning? Flirting with yourself Shut it up in the house! I don't have time to watch... Blind my eyes!"

"Who is talking about flirting!"

Cheng Zhe, who accidentally revealed the truth, successfully got Xia Yun's eyes.

"Hey, seriously." Xia Yun stood on tiptoe and tried to glance into the room behind Cheng Zhe, "When are you going to leave?"

Cheng Zhe subconsciously turned his head to look at He Lianqiu who had just come out of the back room dressed neatly, the good mood in the morning was still covered by a faint sense of crisis.

"It depends on the materials Xia Cunxiu left behind." Cheng Zhe pondered for a moment, then said to Xia Yun: "I have to trouble you, if possible, I will leave today."

"Okay." Xia Yun folded his arms and leaned on Qian Anyue, with a half-smile, but it didn't reach his eyes, "Let's make a deal."

This request was too abrupt - they were old friends, not to mention staying together for such a long time, so long that Cheng Zhe once thought that the relationship between the two parties could be used as a friend.

As a result, when Xia Yun mentioned this, although it sounded a little distant at first, Cheng Zhe quickly realized that the request that Xia Yun could make at the risk of being unfamiliar with him must be an extremely important event, not only because of him, And it may interfere with his next actions.

He Lianqiu's health is in critical condition, Cheng Zhe dare not use the life of his beloved wife as a bargaining chip - but if he does not agree, Cheng Zhe is not sure that he will be able to find Xia Cunxiu in Xia Yun's lair by himself relics.

This is a dead end.

Cheng Zhe frowned inevitably, as if hesitating.

At this time, He Lianqiu put his hands on the handles of Cheng Zhe's four-wheeled cart, and answered for him: "Listen."

Her tone was soft, without surprise at all.

"You also know?" Cheng Zhe was a little surprised - when did these two conspire together?

"You don't lose anything by listening to it. Whether you accept it or not is entirely up to you." He Lianqiu smiled slightly, "...I'm very happy that you can come back."

As he spoke, he pushed the four-wheeled cart in front of Xia Yun, and the three women looked at each other inexplicably, making Cheng Zheyun confused.

"Then I'll borrow the person first." Xia Yun took the pusher, and pushed Cheng Zhe to the underground wine cellar where Xia Cunxiu's relics were stored without saying a word. Voice of conversation:

"I'll take you to the medicine hut." He Lianqiu turned around and took the hand warming pot with him, stepped under the sun, and said to Qiao Anyue.

"it is good."

"you look like……"

Before taking two steps, He Lianqiu couldn't help but speak when he saw Qiao Anyue's expression of no longer rejecting others.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Anyue asked in confusion.

After yesterday's confession, Helian Qiu's depression is obviously much better.Now when she spoke, she lost a little of the poise she had put on airs before, and even carried some of her daughter's usual jokes: "...It's nothing, I just feel that it's changed a lot from the first time I met you. "

Holding the small heater in his hand, He Lianqiu tried his best to gesture: "I still remember that when I first met you a year ago, you were a... arrogant young lady, but I didn't expect that you have become such a temper now. However, after Shen Yuan Pavilion saw your information...I'm afraid it was also played by you, right?"

It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, the mention of He Lianqiu reminds Qiao Anyue of the days before she broke up with the Qiao family.

From the beginning to the end, He Lianqiu was only surprised by the drastic change in his temperament, but never expressed his opinion on the difference in the faces of "Miss Qiao" and "Qiao Anyue".

Reminiscent of her uncompromising medical skills...

Qiao Anyue thought suddenly - I'm afraid that she had been exposed to He Lianqiu in the past, right?It's just that for some unknown reason, the other party didn't tell Xia Yun about it, but it still aroused Xia Yun's suspicion to some extent.

At that time, she was still playing the role of "Miss Qiao" conscientiously, and later recovered her memory, and at first she would play the role of "normal person" in front of Lan Sang, but later she simply didn't bother to think about it.

I met so many people along the way, and when I walked back, I felt that there were more and more people around me. Maybe she didn't feel it, but she did start to care about some people and things around her unintentionally.

What happened on the island made her realize that she could never return to the attitude of not caring about anything in the past.

Qiao Anyue couldn't help thinking about her impulsive actions last night. The nervousness of her heart beating violently due to anticipation was vivid in her memory. The moment she asked the question, she felt uneasy like never before, and getting the answer made her even more emotional. not themselves.

"Has it changed a lot...?"

Qiao Anyue couldn't help repeating He Lianqiu's words, and then sighed: "Probably, what a mistake."

"Mistake?" Helian Qiu was puzzled.

"Xia Yun and I once made a bet," Qiao Anyue explained, "We came to bet on whether I would change... As it turns out, I lost."

While the two were talking, they had arrived at the medicine house where He Lianqiu had been staying for a long time.

With a "creak", the old wooden door was pushed open, and Qiao Anyue's eyes were firmly attracted by the huge amount of medicinal materials inside.

Zhuyeqing, who hadn't seen anything all year round, opened her bright yellow snake eyes for a long time, raised her head high, and immediately spit out a long "hiss" letter.

It jumped up from Qiao Anyue's wrist, and immediately rushed to the ground, leaving a shallow crawling trail, and crawled to the middle of many scattered medicine bottles.

"So many... are they all poison?" Qiao Anyue suppressed the shock in her heart, knowing that the answer was beyond doubt, but she still couldn't help asking.

He Lianqiu sighed with half pride and half regret: "It's a pity, I don't have a deep research on this aspect, and the progress is still halfway there."

"It's okay," Qiao Anyue stared at the scattered herbs with burning eyes, "I'll help you."

And the other side.

"This is impossible!"

Cheng Zhe just heard Xia Yun's long speech, and immediately vetoed it, "Do you know how long it took to build those siege equipment? The basics are fine, just draw the blueprints and get other craftsmen to do it, but you Take a look at what requirements you have given here?

You must be able to shoot ten consecutive crossbows!Did you know that the current repeater can only fire five arrows at most?It is also convenient for soldiers to carry, one for each?The existing crossbows/arrows alone require extremely fine workmanship, not to mention that those big-headed soldiers are equipped with long/spears and machetes. Who gives you the confidence that the crossbow can be so light that it will not affect the action! "

All the craftsmen were furious when they heard the layman making random demands there, even if the other party was Xia Yun.

Cheng Zhe patted the handrail of the four-wheeled vehicle excitedly, and talked endlessly, "Also, let's not mention the modified climbing ladder. Do you want me to give you the improved blueprint for Ba Niu and Chongche? You Why don't you just kill Lu Kun directly! There are also those messy hidden weapons, even for a good craftsman, it takes ten days and half a month to make each one, you really think that I have three heads and six arms, sleepless and restless, and I can make them with you Weapons!"

Cheng Zhe almost bit his own tongue when he spoke too fast, almost incoherent, "...Moreover, do I have time? No! Xia Yun, I, Cheng Zhe, are not interested in North and South things. To tell you the truth, neither is the Wood and Stone Alliance. I have never received an order from the Northern Army. I helped them make some of the city-breaking equipment in the early years. If I hadn’t found clues recently, and I have a good relationship with you, now the entire Wood and Stone League has already received the Northern Army. The list now! Otherwise, the people in the south of you may have been devastated!"

Cheng Zhe's face was livid, and he emphasized again, "Xia Yun, I'll repeat to you again, I'm not interested in your family and country righteousness! Don't try to put any patriotic shit on my head, because you are a friend. I will help you, but you can't push your limits and be greedy!"

"We only need the blueprints, and we have the artisans ourselves." Xia Yun also restrained his smile a long time ago, and said solemnly, "There are still a lot of precious materials brought back from the island. If it was you, I believe you can take these into consideration in the design. Nice drawing."

"No discussion! Impossible!" Cheng Zhe was still angry.

"Calm down." Xia Yun couldn't bear to kick Cheng Zhe's four-wheeler, and the car immediately slid a few inches backwards.

——But it did calm down Cheng Zhe.

Xia Yun rubbed her protruding temples, and apologized angrily, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive."

Cheng Zhe sneered with a sarcastic expression.
