Heartless

That day he declared that he would treat him a hundred times better, Kou Biancheng really did not break his promise, he kept Ye Qianlang's "I am not used to it" in his heart, so he took a sword and gave it to him.

The scabbard is only made of a piece of cowhide that has long been worn to a half-rotten state. Although it is nearly a foot longer than ordinary swords, it is not heavy at all in the hand.Ye Qianlang took the sword, and with a shake of his left wrist, the sword stem came out of its sheath—unexpectedly, the blade body was only exposed an inch, and a layer of bitter green air rushed towards his face, making people tremble.

He shook out the stem of the sword a little bit and took a closer look, only to see a line of almost invisible small characters on it, "A sharp edge is made from a hundred refinements, and a thousand bones will wither away." It was obviously battle-tested, The hilt of the sword has been polished so that it is very round and suitable for the hand, and there is also an obvious gap on the other side of the sword body. The engraved characters on it are blurry, only the word "Chici" can be vaguely discerned.

As the saying goes, a sword has to be tempered but not sharpened. Ordinary swords are tempered and tempered to form a sharp edge, but this sword has been polished by soldiers many times since the day it was forged.

"The treasured sword has not been polished and washed, its shape is the same as ordinary iron." Ye Qianlang put the sword back into its sheath, handed it back to Kou Biancheng, and praised sincerely: "It is indeed a rare good sword."

"This is my father's sword." Kou Biancheng smiled and gently pushed Ye Qianlang's wrist as a gift, "Although it is not an ancient magic weapon, it can cut gold and iron, blow hair Broken hair, it also suits adults."

It is self-evident to be able to generously present father's relics, and Ye Qianlang no longer shirks, taking the sword generously and saying: "Brother Kou is too polite, but Ye Mou is disrespectful."

Seeing the other party accepting the sword, Kou Biancheng's deep handsome brows and eyes could not help showing warmth, and he raised his hand to beckon his subordinates, ordering them to bring out a horse.

"Xue Po?" Even Ruthless raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years also changed.

Kou Biancheng's eyes flashed with clouds and stars, and his smile deepened: "I sent people out to search from house to house, and it's not too difficult to find this horse."

Ever since he lost his master, Xue Po has imitated the posture of Chitu, the sage of horses, he followed his master without drinking or eating, now he was reunited with his master, he neighed endlessly.Seeing that it was dirty and thin, Ye Qianlang looked like a mule, so he led it to the Langjiao Lake and fed it some green grass by the lake.

The water temperature of Langjiao Lake is naturally slightly hot, and there is a layer of bluestones on the lakeside. The closer to the lake, the brighter the stones, especially those that have been immersed in the lake all year round, are shining brightly. , like a rare treasure.

After Xue Po ate grass and was [-]% full, Ye Qianlang took water to wash the mud on the horse's belly, then closed his eyes, and leaned against it.

The man and the horse cuddled together, the situation was like a painting, Kou Biancheng was not close, just watched quietly from the side, thinking of the stars, the moon and the wilderness on the night when the two first met.

It's easy to deceive others, but it's hard to deceive yourself. If you give the sword first and then the horse, you are trying to make peace after all.

I still like it after all.

"Without Mu He getting in the way, it's much more enjoyable to do things after all!" Shan Xiaohu hurried over, caught sight of Ye Qianlang, suddenly stopped talking, and called him reluctantly, "Master... I'm back gone."

Kou Biancheng knew that Ye Qianlang was there, so he had many scruples and couldn't speak out, so he smiled lightly and said: "If you have something to say, just say it, I will talk to you again between A-Lang and I." No deceit."

Shan Xiaohu still had a lot of fears about the commander of Jinyiwei, he was not happy enough in his heart, but he couldn't disobey Master's wishes, so he deliberately turned his back on him, and lowered his voice: "Master really arranges things well, and he knows things like a god." Before I entered Shaanxi, I heard that there was a summer drought, and the rice and wheat planted during the spring plowing almost all died."

Kou Biancheng smiled and said: "The poor live in robbery, the raped life kills, it's not that I predict things like a god, but Ming Zuo's energy is exhausted, and the sky is not blessed."

"The common people fought for their lives to eat the roots and chaff of the trees. It was already miserable. Unexpectedly, the local parents and officials were not considerate of the people's feelings and still pressed them with heavy taxes. I first distributed the money and food in my hands to the hungry people, and then led my brothers to kill them." Go to the county government office, open warehouses to help the people - you have never seen how the local people thank you for your kindness with tears, and wish they could make you emperor tomorrow." Speaking of this, Shan Xiaohu was already overwhelmed with complacency I don't even remember that Commander Ye was still in the same place as me, "Everyone is a mother if they have milk. Fortunately, Master has far-sightedness and took the opportunity to eradicate the power that replaced Mu He in one fell swoop. With the gold and silver he has seized over the years , is enough for you, Master, to recruit troops and win the hearts of the people!"

"You understand the principle of getting help and helping you, and you did a good job." Kou Biancheng nodded slightly, and flicked his finger in front of his forehead with a smile, "Don't you think that I will replace Mu He with gold and silver from the chieftain's mansion? Shaking his head, he looked at an open lake and said, "Even if the mountains of gold and silver are exhausted one day, I care more about the convenience of this place and the initiative to occupy the trading market in the Western Regions than the insignificant money."

"Everything in the world is in the master's hands, so Xiaohu can't compare to it. Xiaohu just puts his life on the line and works for you." The flattery is very crisp, and he has accomplished such a beautiful event. Shan Xiaohu's heart was fluttering, and he was not afraid of anger or blame, so he put his face together as if asking for credit, and said with a smile, "By the way, Master, I also recruited a general for you locally." The man's name is Li Zicheng, and he entered the county government together with me, and helped me capture the bloody county magistrate Cao. I think he is just a postman, but he is so young at such a young age. He must become a master, so he invited him to join the Sidu and Eight Leagues. Unexpectedly, the Sidu and Eight Leagues have gained a good reputation in the Jianghu in recent years. In addition, when Li Zicheng heard that you were the only son of General He, he immediately killed you. I agree wholeheartedly!"

The Sidu and Eight Leagues originally rebelled under the banner of "Punish the Eunuch Party and the Qing Dynasty's side", but since Kou Biancheng succeeded the leader of the League, the banner of the League has changed unknowingly to "Instead of sitting and starving to death, why not steal it?" And die." For a while, the people were hungry and the momentum was great, but they still did not change the old system and did not confront the imperial court head-on.

Shan Xiaohu talked about some experiences in Shaanxi, and when he was beaming with joy, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to tell Master the most important thing, your precious brother Lu Tanhua will be back soon!"

Kou Biancheng frowned slightly: "So fast?"

Shan Xiaohu glanced at Ye Qianlang quietly, and said to himself that it's been more than half a month since you left, and it's clear that you are holding another one in your arms, the soft pillow every night is warm and fragrant, and you don't feel ashamed, that's why you think he came back so quickly.He didn't dare to show his thoughts in front of Master's eyes, so he hid the expression in his eyes and said: "I have sent someone to watch, Lu Linchuan first went out of the Great Wall to settle the two young masters surnamed Zuo, and then went to Tibet by detour. Invite the monks there to enter Minglai Temple, and when the altar is opened and performed Buddhist rituals to verify the authenticity of the relic, they will take it back and build a pagoda to make offerings..."

Hearing the word "relic", the fingers caressing the horse's body froze suddenly, and saw the long and narrow phoenix eyes suddenly opened, shining like lightning.

Shan Xiaohu doesn't have an inch of Buddhist heart, he doesn't know the opportunity of the Great Treasure King's Relic, and naturally he can't tell the monks and lamas apart, so he can only chatter on his own: "I think that the Great Treasure King's Relic is a rare treasure, not to mention that monks see it as well Like a jade seal, the emperor in Beijing and the Nine Thousand Years are very rare. I just met such a stupid and single-minded person who insisted on returning everything to the original owner and returning it to Zhao, so you just let him go, Master. There are many sects of Buddhism You didn't keep the Dharma king's relic to order the monks, but you gave it back to the one with the most pure heart and few desires!"

"Since I promised first, I can't break my promise to Linchuan." Kou Biancheng looked indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm from the corner of his mouth, "Besides, if I don't promise, even if the Dharma King is alive, he won't be able to get back his relics." .”

Hearing that there is still a turning point in Jifeng's words, Shan Xiaohu couldn't hide his joy: "Master, do you have a solution?"

Without waiting for Kou Biancheng's answer, Ye Qianlang got up and said lightly, "Kill first and then save, first give and then steal, even if you gain fame, you don't want to lose the benefits. It really looks like Kou brother's style."

"The one who knows me, Mr. Mo Ruoye, is the leader of the bandits. He is naturally very violent and unreasonable." Kou Biancheng laughed without hesitation, and said, "It's just that there are three divine monks guarding the Minglai Temple. It is not easy to take back the Dharma King's relic from them."

Shan Xiaohu couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Master, how is the kung fu of those three monks compared to yours?" ?”

Kou Biancheng said: "Three years ago, I had a photo session with the three monks. The three monks were harmonious in Buddhism and Zen. Can support a hundred moves, if one is against three, there is absolutely no possibility of a single battle. I am afraid that the old branches are still strong, and the tacit understanding of the Great Secret Formation is far better than before."

"If I knew this earlier, why shouldn't I have sent the relic to Minglai Temple?" Shan Xiaohu was quite annoyed when he heard that the matter was difficult to achieve. run away!"

"Although the skills of the three divine monks are unmatched, they have already vowed not to take a single step at the Ming Temple. They only take relics and do not love to fight. If they block their primordial consciousness first, they will have a chance of winning." Kou Biancheng looked at Shan in a blink of an eye. Xiaohu asked, "I need to find someone to join hands with me to break the formation, can you do it?"

Not waiting for this kid to rub his fists with his eyes full, another cold voice said: "Me."

When Kou Biancheng looked back, he was facing that cold, desireless face.

"You?" Shan Xiaohu snorted softly, with a look of disdain on his face, "You are disabled, those monks won't feel sorry for you if you have a broken arm—"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qianlang stepped forward and attacked like Qingshuang unsheathed an arrow piercing the Yang, his kung fu was more than [-]% recovered, he subdued Shan Xiaohu with just one hand, and even pinched his throat under his palm .

Twirling his fingers lightly, he heard the crackling sound of the throat bone, which made the other party break into a cold sweat immediately.Ye Qianlang didn't fight hard, but said calmly: "Although I have broken an arm, it's still easy to kill you within ten moves."

It's rare that he didn't use his hands harshly, he loosened his five fingers immediately after speaking, allowing the person waiting to die under his palm to catch his breath.

Shan Xiaohu has always been full of energy, how could he easily admit defeat, and was about to use the "Liu Yun Qian Bian" move to attack Ye Qianlang's face, but Kou Biancheng himself held his shoulders behind him, instantly feeling like a heavy weight Come on, the pain caused him to yell "Ouch".

"You have lost, back down." Kou Biancheng scolded Shan Xiaohu softly, but his deep and long eyes were fixed on Ye Qianlang, in his eyes, he could see the glint of the lake, the blurred colors of the flowers, and it was very cloudy and sunny.

"Maybe Ye is believable, but maybe not, but if you don't believe it, you will definitely lose when you come to the temple." Ye Qianlangfu raised his hand to caress Xue Po again, his slender knuckles were entangled in the snow-white mane, and suddenly formed a tangle. In the end, the indifferent expression was still unhappy, "Five to five wins, brother Kou, why don't you take a gamble?"
