Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

In memory, Ouyang Ke and Wanyan Honglie had indeed formed an alliance, but at that time Ouyang Ke was already in his early thirties, and now he is only 20 years old, a full ten years earlier.

At that time, the morale of Wanyan Honglie's Jin faction was high, and the Great Song court was on the brink of subjugation. Wanyan Honglie recruited many people from the Jianghu to work for him, including Ouyang Ke who came from Baituo Mountain.

"How did you think of forming an alliance with Wanyan Honglie? Did he take the initiative to contact you?"

Ouyang Ke nodded. When he was transporting various things to Peach Blossom Island, he met Wanyan Honglie once when he was shopping, and he tried to solicit him.

"We are neither Han nor golden, so we don't have the same position as the big brother and the others. I think Wanyan Honglie may be able to accomplish something, and it's okay to play with him."

"Just want to have fun? Then I advise you not to have anything to do with Wanyan Honglie lightly, he may not be able to succeed." In the end, the Mongols defeated the Jinren, settled in the Central Plains and established the Yuan Dynasty, and it was not the one who became emperor. golden man.

"Really? I feel that Wanyan Honglie is quite capable." Now that the Song Dynasty court sees that it is going to die, and the Jin people are in full swing, is it possible that the Song Dynasty who has already looked like this has room for return to the world?

Jiang Yan nodded seriously, "I've spent more time outside than you these past few years, believe me, if you don't want to be a high-ranking official, don't want money and power, then don't get involved with Wanyan Honglie."

"Just like you think, the Jin man finally settled in the Central Plains. He Wanyan Honglie became the new founding king. Are you sure he won't be 'cooked like a rabbit and a running dog'? At that time, the high-ranking officials and generous salaries you will get will still be Cross the river and tear down the bridge."

Hearing what Jiang Yan said, Ouyang Ke suddenly felt that forming an alliance with Wanyan Honglie is not such a fun thing, the risk is too great.

"And even if he doesn't cross the river and destroy the bridge, can you guarantee that he won't take any precautions against you? Your family is not short of money in Baituo Mountain, so it is destined that he will treat you differently from others. He will definitely be afraid of you and you. Like the current Jin people, they rebelled."

"Emperors are suspicious, and they have been like this since ancient times."

Ouyang Ke shuddered subconsciously, but he shuddered for no reason when his elder brother's voice was warm and warm, like a spring breeze.

"In this way, I really can't form an alliance with him. I don't want to be guarded all the time."

At that time, when Wanyan Honglie invited him, he was really moved. At that time, what he thought was to follow Wanyan Honglie to fight for the country. If he succeeds, he will be the founding father of the country.

As for the danger in this process, he also considered it. He just thought that with his skill, if he couldn't beat him, he could run away. No one would catch him, let alone his life would be in danger.

But he didn't expect what would happen after he succeeded. Indeed, as the eldest brother said, Wanyan Honglie is not a good stubble, he will suffer if he is unsuccessful, and he will be suspected if he succeeds, and he will be wary of being demolished by crossing the river, what? It sounds very miserable for the cunning rabbit to die.

Throughout history, there are very few people who followed the emperor to establish a dynasty and were reused but not discarded after being used.

Ouyang Ke doesn't think he can make that one exception, so it's better not to get involved in this matter. Anyway, there is White Camel Mountain, he has endless money, and his martial arts can let him walk freely in the rivers and lakes. It is necessary to follow Wanyan Honglie to the muddy water.

And after coming to the Qusan Tavern, Ouyang Ke noticed that the senior brother hated the Jin people, and realized that the senior brothers and sisters in Taohua Island are all Han Chinese. If he formed an alliance with Wanyan Honglie, wouldn't he be an enemy of them? ?

No matter how you calculate this deal is not worth it, it is better to refuse.

Seeing that Ouyang Ke had made up his mind, Jiang Yan was relieved. Wanyan Honglie is not a wise lord, and he is also doomed to fail, so Ouyang Ke cannot be allowed to form an alliance with him.

"Brother, I will go to Jinling tomorrow morning and tell Wanyan Honglie my decision, so that he will stop thinking about me." Ouyang Ke said with determination.

Jiang Yan nodded, "Leave after talking about the matter, don't have too much contact with Wanyan Honglie."

"Brother, don't worry, I've seen Wanyan Honglie's martial arts before. I don't even have [-]% of my money. I'm all guarded by the guards around me. He doesn't dare to do anything to me." Seeing that Jiang Yan was worried about him, Ouyang Ke didn't care. Said.

It is true that Wanyan Honglie is not Ouyang Ke's opponent, but Wanyan Honglie's glib tongue, Jiang Yan is afraid that Ouyang Ke will be fooled by him if he is not careful, and then agree to everything, and it will be too late to regret it.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yan decided to go to Jinling with Ouyang Ke. Anyway, he came out of Peach Blossom Island this time to go to White Camel Mountain. It doesn't matter if he returns a little later. The most important thing is that Ouyang Ke is not fooled.

"Brother, I think you are really worrying too much. I have spent a lot of time in the Jianghu in the past few years, so there really will be no problem." Ouyang Ke was a little helpless. He is already 20 years old, and he is no longer a child. , why are you still so worried about him?

However, no matter what Ouyang Ke said, Jiang Yan would go to Jinling with him, it's okay if there is no problem, and he can remedy it in time if there is any problem.

Wanyan Honglie was very surprised by Ouyang Ke's refusal. He thought that Ouyang Ke came to Jinling this time to plan to form an alliance with him. Wealth, this is a win-win thing.

"Can I know why Mr. Ouyang rejected me?" I am not a Han, so I should be someone who does not object to Jin.

"There is no reason, but I suddenly feel that it is not so fun to cooperate with Prince Zhao. I am a casual person, and I don't like being restrained. If I cooperate with the prince, even if the prince becomes the emperor in the future, I will still be an official in the court. Restricted, not as big as Jianghu, it's interesting to wander freely in the ends of the world."

Ouyang Ke and Wanyan Honglie were talking half-truths, Wanyan Honglie knew that Ouyang Ke was only 20 years old, young men at this age yearn for the pleasures and grievances in the world, so it's okay if they don't cooperate with him.

There will be a long time in the future, as long as Ouyang Ke has experienced the wind and rain, he will know that there is nothing better than money and power in this world, and other "reckless rivers and lakes" and "happy grievances" are just talk.

"Since this is the case, I will not force Mr. Ouyang. If Mr. Ouyang encounters any troubles and needs my help in the future, just say so. Although we can't form an alliance, there is benevolence and righteousness."

Wanyan Honglie said with a smile, while Ouyang Ke was thankful that he had told his elder brother about this beforehand, and he formed an alliance with Wanyan Honglie if he didn't insist on going his own way.

According to Wanyan Honglie's words, the meaning is 'there is no righteousness in business', but is there any kindness among them?It's just mutual use from the beginning.

Hey and bustling are all for profit, and hustle and bustle are all for profit. Now that there is no exchange of benefits, he does not believe that Wanyan Honglie will help him for no reason. If there is really a place to help him, it must be marked in advance. Ask for it back from him, and even ask for more.

Ouyang Ke became more determined to stay away from Wanyan Honglie, and wanted to leave Jinling with his elder brother overnight, but his elder brother let him go alone, saying that he still had some unfinished business in Jinling.

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Didn't he come to Jinling to accompany him to reject Wanyan Honglie?I haven't heard of him doing anything else.

"It's not a big deal, I'm going to live in Jinling for a while, you should go first."

Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't talk about Ouyang Ke, he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, his brother had never caused any trouble since he was a child. Even if there was trouble, he could solve it by himself, so he didn't need to worry.

"It just so happens that I'm going to the Northland for a few months. When I come back, we'll go back to White Camel Mountain together. By that time, my uncle will almost leave the customs."

Ouyang Ke calculated the time. He had been to many places in these years, but he had never been to the Northland. This time, he just went to see what the extremely cold place people said was, and how cold it was.

Whether it is White Camel Mountain or Peach Blossom Island, they all belong to the south, the kind that is like spring all the year round. It snows in Heming Villa, but they left before it snowed. He has never seen the real one since he was a child. What is the heavy snow like?

Jiang Yan wasn't worried that Ouyang Ke would be in danger, and was busy with his own affairs.

After he came to Jinling, long memories flooded into his mind. It was the first time he came to a world like this. At that time, he was the eldest son of Zhao Wangfu, but he was not Wanyan Honglie's biological son.

At night, Jiang Yan sneaked into Prince Zhao's mansion. At this time, everything was quiet, only some guards patrolled the mansion from time to time, and the guards in the backyard would not go.

Jiang Yan quietly came to a room, tapped the acupoints of the servants outside the house, and made them fall asleep. When he came to the bedside, he saw a little boy who was only three years old and was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

The appearance of this little boy coincided with a childish face deep in his memory, and it was confirmed that this was his guardian object Wanyan Kang when he came to a world similar to this world for the first time.

Jiang Yan didn't do anything, just came and left quietly.

Wanyan Kang seemed to have a feeling, he opened his eyes and looked out the window in a daze, but there was no one outside the window, thinking that he must be dreaming, turned over and continued to sleep.

But on the second day, when Wanyan Kang was playing in his backyard, he suddenly found a snow-white kitten. It looked cute and thought that his mother and concubine would like it, so he chased the cat.

Regardless of whether there was anyone following behind him, the cat passed through the grass and he also passed through the grass, the cat crawled through the dog hole, and he also crawled through the dog hole, and the three-year-old little body passed smoothly.

It wasn't until the little cat jumped into the house, and he pushed the door in, that he realized that he had come to a strange place, and came to a simple house, which was as simple as the thatched cottage where the concubine lived.

There was only a bed, a cabinet, and a table, nothing else, and the kitten had already climbed on top of the tall cabinet, and he couldn't climb up, nor could he bring the cat down.

"Meow~~~~~~"

The cat meowed, and Wanyan Kang felt a gust of wind blowing beside him. A man in white with white beard, white eyebrows and white hair immediately hugged the cat, and then stood still in front of him.

The snow-white cat that kept running just now, now obediently, I am in the man's arms, very quiet, not as happy as before.

Wanyan Kang stared blankly at this scene, and it took him a long time to recover. He looked at the person who looked like a fairy in the story, "Are you a fairy?"

"I'm not a fairy."

"But you obviously flew over just now, you are a god."

"I use martial arts."

"Martial arts? I heard my father said that it is a very powerful martial art in the world."

"It is indeed very powerful kung fu, do you want to learn from me?"

"I want I want."

"Then you have to promise me a few conditions before I will teach you martial arts as my apprentice."

"I promise, I promise, master, teach me."

Wan Yankang is only three years old now, and he doesn't have the mind and resourcefulness that an adult should have. He only knows that the person in front of him is very powerful, and he can also learn martial arts to become a very powerful person.

I couldn't wait to agree, and didn't think about what I would do after I agreed. My mind was full of the picture of Master taking the cat down from the high cabinet just now.

He didn't know the hard work of practicing martial arts at all, and he didn't know that once he agreed, he couldn't change it easily.

The coldness in the north was beyond Ouyang Ke's expectations, and it got colder as he went north. There were few people around, and he couldn't see anyone in the vast white snow, which gave him the illusion that he was the only one in the world.

Fortunately, there are a lot of trees around here, and in winter there are some dead branches. He can use the branches to light a fire to warm things to eat. Fortunately, he has enough dry food and wine in the carriage, and drinking some wine in the ice and snow can also warm him up. warm up.

However, Ouyang Ke forgot that he hadn't practiced his drinking capacity yet. When he felt very cold, he drank all the spirits in the two wine bags at once, and felt a little dizzy for a while. He unconsciously fell asleep in the carriage.

When he woke up again, he was awakened by the sound of fighting and whimpering. When he woke up and listened carefully, Ouyang Ke suddenly found that the whimpering sounded like the howling of a wolf, and he immediately regained his energy.

Carefully opening the curtain of the carriage to look, I saw a short man not far away directly piercing the wolf's throat with a sword, blood gushed on the carriage, and then felt a little heat on his face.

Stretching out his hand to touch it, it was wolf blood, and he was shocked immediately.

"you're awake."

The man who just killed the wolf came over, Ouyang Ke heard the voice and realized that she was a woman, but her face was covered by a thick scarf, and she was wearing a thick hat to cover her forehead. Look, the stern gaze really doesn't look like a girl.

Ouyang Ke got off the carriage, "Thank you for saving my life, miss."

After getting off the carriage, Ouyang Ke saw that there were seven or eight corpses of wolves all around, all of them had returned to the west, and it seemed that they were all done by the woman in front of him, so he immediately admired her even more.

"Since you have acknowledged my life-saving grace to you, then don't just talk about it, but show something real."

"I don't know what the girl wants." His life is very valuable, and he must thank him for being rescued.

Mu Qiao didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly, "You can give me as much as you think your life is worth. Of course, I don't want a silver ticket."

"Wait a minute, girl." Ouyang Ke got into the carriage again and found a money bag, "This is all the money I brought with me, please accept it, girl."

Mu Qiao was not angry either, she took the money bag and turned it upside down, there should be hundreds of taels of silver in it, it seems that this time it came out with a lot of success.

Take out a piece of silver from it, which can be about ten taels, "Since you think your life is very valuable, then live well, this is enough for you to get out of the snowy field and get ready to go."

After speaking, Mu Qiao stopped talking to Ouyang Ke, took a large pot at the side, and poured your things on the wild wolf. The smell should be black water that can be burned.

Mu Qiao burned all those wolves, leaving only one with a dagger to share, put some into baskets, and burned the rest.

"Here's this for you, so you can taste the taste of the thing that almost killed you." Mu Qiao threw a wolf's leg to Ouyang Ke, and then strode away.

Seeing that she was gone, Ouyang Ke quickly threw the wolf legs into the carriage and drove after her, "Miss, do you live near here? I haven't lived on the road to the house for a long time, can you let me stay overnight?"

"Not allowed." Mu Qiao refused cleanly.

However, Ouyang Ke has never lost in the aspect of thick skin, "Girl, don't be so cruel, your house must be nearby, just let me stay for one night, I promise to stay for one night, and I will leave immediately after one night , you have already helped me kill the wild wolf, so please do it to the end, please girl."

Mu Qiao stopped and looked over sharply. Ouyang Ke couldn't help tightening his hand holding the rein.

This look, just like the look of that wild wolf just now, is extremely fierce, not to mention a woman, but he has never seen it on a man in the past few years he has been walking in the rivers and lakes.

"It's inconvenient for me, it's really inconvenient. If you follow me again, don't blame me for being angry." Mu Qiao said as he pulled out the short knife. The short knife that had just disassembled the wolf was still stained with blood. Against the background of ice and snow, the chill is extraordinarily piercing and frightening.

Seeing that Ouyang Ke had stopped, Mu Qiao continued to walk forward, but the short knife in her hand was not put away, she kept holding it in her hand, as if as long as Ouyang Ke continued to move forward, she would dismantle him like a wild wolf .

Ouyang Ke didn't continue to follow, turned around the pier and went back to the pile of wild wolves, a burning smell kept coming into his nose.

Ouyang Ke picked up some twigs to make a fire, took out the wolf leg that Mu Qiao gave him, rubbed it with some salt, added some wine and put it on the fire to roast.

Before he entered the snow field, he was worried that he would never find a place to stay, so he carried salt with him, intending to rub it on the dry food to make it taste better.

The taste was not very good, and there were still some burnt roast wolf legs. Looking at the ice and snow around him, he could be regarded as reminiscing about bitterness and thinking about sweetness.

When I was young, I followed my mother, and the three of them experienced all kinds of hardships, including wind and rain, blizzards and scorching heat. In the past ten years, they were either in Baituo Mountain or Peach Blossom Island, enjoying luxurious clothes and fine food. What I think about is just practicing martial arts, and I don't have to worry about making a living.

This is why after entering the snowfield, no matter how difficult it was, he dispelled the idea of ​​going back many times. He just wanted to see what his current endurance limit was, and how much he could not bear after walking. go back.

Judging from the current situation, he may have to go forward for a while before he can't stand it.

Ouyang Ke is testing his own limits, and at the same time, he is also cherishing his life. When there is still half of the food he brought out, he will go back no matter whether his body has reached the limit or not.

But today's incident gave him an inspiration. The further he went in, the more likely he would encounter wolves. He was lucky to be rescued today. In case his horse was eaten by wolves in the future, wouldn't he still want to run into it himself? Are you pulling the carriage back?

After thinking about it, Ouyang Ke decided to go inside for another three days. After three days, no matter what the situation was, he would go back.

Calculate the time, walk out of the snowfield and then go to Jinling, and return to the White Camel Villa with my elder brother. At that time, my uncle will almost leave the customs.

However, what Ouyang Ke didn't expect was that on the second night, he saw a big fire in the distance.

The fire lit up the already dark sky, and Ouyang Ke seemed to hear the howling of wolves, but aren't wolves afraid of fire?Why is there fire and howling wolves?

In the distance, Ouyang Ke seemed to see a figure walking out of the flames, that person walked steadily, as if he was not affected by the fire behind him at all.

Ouyang Ke couldn't help being startled, and something that surprised him even more happened. There were many wolves behind the man, and their eyes glowed green in the dark night, which was very scary.

Subconsciously, Ouyang Ke rode his horse and wanted to run, but the next second he saw clearly that the man walking out of the flames was exactly the Mu Qiao he had met two days ago.

Obviously, Mu Qiao also saw him, and walked straight to him, and then the wolves behind stopped after a whistle.

"Can you control the wolves?"

I heard that people who live in remote places have special skills, and now it seems to be true.

Mu Qiao didn't answer his question, but said, "You don't have to go any further, if you go there, you will meet a group of people who don't understand the language."

"Then...then I will turn around and go back tomorrow morning."

Mu Qiao nodded, and said, "Five taels of silver, I'll take you out of the snowy field by a short cut, and it only takes three days."

"Okay, thank you, girl." There are wolves in this place, and there is a woman who can control the wolves, so it's better not to think about exploring anymore, the most important thing is to save your life.

Mu Qiao stretched out his palm, and Ouyang Ke immediately took out the silver from his pocket. The embarrassing thing was that he didn't have five taels, only the ten taels of silver that Mu Qiao gave him before.

Mu Qiao directly took all the ten taels of silver, "I'll give you the silver in exchange after we get out of the snowy field."

"No need, ten taels of silver can get out of Xueyuan quickly, and it's a good deal." Without the money, he still has things, and if he leaves Xueyuan and sells some of his things, he can go to Jinling to pay for it. At worst, life will be more difficult.

Mu Qiao took a deep look at Ouyang Ke, didn't speak, turned around and whistled again, and then the wolves turned around and scattered in all directions.

Only then did Ouyang Ke heave a sigh of relief, and vowed in his heart that he would walk the rivers and lakes quietly in the future, and not go on any adventures, this place is too dangerous.
