Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

For the first time in his life, Yin Qiu deeply realized what it means to be too late to regret, and what it means to be too hard to get off when riding a tiger.

The night wind blows the cool fine snow, blowing in through the half-closed window. Man Jiangxue leans on the rattan chair, Yin Qiu lies on her chest, the two embrace each other intimately, the folded skirts are in the air. A beautiful arc swayed in the wind.

There were no more human voices in the room, and no movement was seen.

The hangover soup was still being boiled on the small stove on one side, and the hot steam was lingering and lingering, and was quickly blown away by the wind. Yin Qiu smelled the sweet smell and thought inappropriately, this soup smells good, drink it into your mouth That's not the case here, how can there be such a bad drink in the world?

Seeing that she didn't move after listening to what she said, but her eyes were fixed on the stove, Man Jiangxue's hand holding the whip drooped slightly, and put the other hand on Yin Qiu's back, saying: "I want to do it again. bowl?"

Yin Qiu immediately averted her eyes, and turned her attention to the pearl buttons on the front of Man Jiangxue's clothes. She asked softly, "Isn't Master still doing something?"

"Do you really want to be beaten?" Man Jiangxue said.

"Of course I don't want to," Yin Qiu said, "No one wants to be beaten."

"Then what should I do?" Man Jiangxue raised her hand, twirling Yin Qiu's hair with her fingertips, "Let people know about it, and they will say that I am partial to you."

Hearing that her voice was teasing a little imperceptibly, Yin Qiu's heart moved, he looked up at Man Jiangxue, and said tentatively: "Actually, Uncle Master doesn't want to hit me at all, does he?"

Man Jiangxue didn't speak.

Yin Qiu laughed and said, "It's wrong to drink in private, but it depends on the occasion. Brothers drink alcohol every day at Jingyue Peak. Didn't my uncle punish you?"

"You are no match for them," Man Jiangxue said, "As long as the disciples in the palace do not interfere with their official duties, they will not be punished for drinking moderately, but the students stationed in the post station in the state city can't do this, let alone your brothers. Squatting on a tree to suffer from the cold, drinking to keep warm is the privilege given by the senior sister in charge, do you have it?"

Yin Qiu said: "I didn't, but I didn't interfere with official duties, and I'm not a post station student stationed in the state city."

"So I just scare you," Man Jiangxue said, "After talking for a long time, you should at least admit your mistake sincerely."

Yin Qiu immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "Uncle Shi, I know I made a mistake, and I won't do it again."

Man Jiangxue raised her hand and patted her on the forehead, saying: "Don't drink if you don't know how to drink. You are already so old, and you still don't know how to write the word refuse?"

"Great kindness is hard to come by," Yin Qiu pretended to be distressed, but a smile appeared in his eyes again, "That senior sister doesn't talk much, but she is a nice person. She saw that I was very cold, so she asked me to drink a few sips of wine." Nuannuan body, uncle, don't blame me, otherwise how can I have the nerve to face her in the future?"

When Man Jiangxue heard this, she paused for a moment before saying, "Her name is Cheng Xiu, and she used to be a disciple of Liuli Peak. When you interact with her in the future, you should pay more attention to it."

There must be something suspicious about the person who can ask Man Jiangxue to tell her to pay attention. Yin Qiu naturally reacted quickly and said, "What's wrong with her?"

Man Jiangxue briefly described what happened during the day to Yin Qiu, and then continued: "Then Liu Ba claimed that he would not admit his mistakes, but there are so many disciples in the station, but he only pointed out Cheng Xiu. , although I have asked Meng Jing to check her appearance and found no doubts, but I still can't take it lightly."

Yin Qiu thought it was reasonable, nodded and said: "Uncle Master is thoughtful, I will remember it, and I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Man Jiangxue gave a "hmm" and didn't answer any more. Yin Qiu drank the hangover soup, and the taste remained in her mouth. She was not very comfortable. She turned her eyes and saw a few oiled paper bags on the table. As soon as he lit up, he said joyfully, "Is that the candy my uncle bought for me?"

Man Jiangxue followed her gaze and said, "Want to eat?"

Yin Qiu licked his lips: "I thought about it, I thought about it for a long time."

"You haven't eaten today, eat less." Man Jiangxue said, straightened up, and stretched out her hand to take one of the greased paper wraps on the table.

When she leaned forward, the long hair that fell from her shoulders slid onto Yin Qiu's cheeks. Yin Qiu leaned back slightly following her movements. Jade-like white neck.

The hair is black and soft, with a little fragrance, like the morning mist in early spring, gently covering Yin Qiu, the hair moves on the skin, it feels a little itchy to the touch, and sporadic brilliance flashes in front of his eyes, Yin Qiu raised his eyes and once again saw the pearl buttons on Man Jiangxue's skirt.

Pearls are always very flattering, they can make a person look white and beautiful, with red lips and clear eyes.

At such a short distance, Yin Qiu suddenly realized what kind of posture she was curling up in Man Jiangxue's arms.

At the same time, she recalled some scenes when she was drunk for a moment. She was lying on the bed with her head up, with her hands around Man Jiangxue's neck, that familiar face was blurred into an indistinct halo, but The weight she put on her was still clearly in her memory.

Just like that.

Yin Qiu's fingers curled up slightly, and she felt an urge to raise her hands. She wanted to relive that embrace, but she didn't move for a long time.

Man Jiangxue held the oiled paper bag, not aware of Yin Qiu's careful thoughts, she leaned back in the chair again, and said to Yin Qiu, "What do you want to eat?"

Yin Qiu concealed the joy in her heart, smiled and said, "It's all right." After she finished speaking, she added, "I want my uncle to feed me."

Man Jiangxue looked down at her, said nothing, just picked a small sugar pill, sent it to Yin Qiu's lips, and said concisely: "Open your mouth."

Yin Qiu pursed her lips, raised her head quickly, and leaned towards Man Jiangxue's hand. She just tasted a little sweetness on the tip of her tongue. Before she could put the sugar pill in her mouth, she suddenly heard someone knocking outside knocked on the door.

"Uncle? The disciple has something important to report." Lu Huaiwei's voice came in through the crack of the door.

Yin Qiu froze for no reason, as if frightened by Lu Huaiwei's sudden request for an audience.

She bit Man Jiangxue's fingertips.

Man Jiangxue paused her fingers, her strength faded, and the sugar pill slipped into Yin Qiu's mouth. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Yin Qiu's slightly parted lips.

There was a warm touch from the fingertips, which were wet, warm, and soft.

Yin Qiu's cheeks flushed, and he glanced at Man Jiangxue in a little panic, then jumped up from Man Jiangxue's arms like a rabbit, and ran into the room without saying a word.

"What are you hiding?" Man Jiangxue quickly got up from the wicker chair, grabbed Yin Qiu's wrist, and pulled her back without any explanation.

Undefended, Yin Qiu threw himself into Man Jiangxue's arms again, and let out a low cry.

"Senior Sister Lu must be here to discuss business matters, I..." Yin Qiuyue whispered, for some reason he was afraid to look at Jiang Xue.

"You just wait for me," Man Jiangxue still held the long whip in his left hand, while his right hand wrapped around Yin Qiu's waist, "Don't run around."

Yin Qiu had no choice but to be obedient, stood still, and said: "Then Master should let me go... If Senior Sister Lu comes in and sees it, it's not appropriate."

"Where is it inappropriate?" Man Jiangxue said, "Are you a dog? You want to run away after biting me."

Yin Qiu was dumbfounded: "I didn't mean it!"

Man Jiangxue said: "Then why are you hiding?"

Yin Qiu: "... didn't hide."

Lu Huaiwei didn't listen to the movement outside, but seeing the candles burning in the room again, she knocked on the door again and asked, "Is Master Uncle there?"

"It's not convenient to open the door," Man Jiangxue looked at Yin Qiu in her arms, and answered Lu Huaiwei's words calmly, "If you have something to say, just talk in the porch."

inconvenient?

Lu Huaiwei showed doubts, turned her head and glanced at the door next door, seeing that it was pitch black with no light at all, she immediately guessed that Yin Qiu was in the Manjiang Snow Room.

Why are these two inconvenient to open the door?

"I just received a few urgent letters." Lu Huaiwei didn't ask much, but faced the two closed wooden doors. Like Yao Dingcheng, we were all deliberately poisoned, and the situation is not good."

As soon as these words came out, the two people in the room raised their eyelashes at the same time.

"How about the number of casualties?" Man Jiangxue said.

"Judging from the contents of these letters, quite a few people died," Lu Huaiwei sighed with heavy eyebrows, "This time the Ziwei Sect is aggressive, and their purpose is not difficult to guess, they are to take advantage of the death of refugees. The reputation of our Yunhua Palace has been ruined. Although Yao Dingcheng suffered heavy casualties, at least Mr. Naya and Liu Ba were captured, and there are two murderers who can be blamed. Therefore, we have not heard anyone accuse our Yunhua Palace, but this time it is different. , Those few states and cities are out of control, once things become serious, there will be a lot of rumors and rumors in the rivers and lakes, which will be extremely unfavorable to our Yunhua Palace."

In any case, if the incident happened within the jurisdiction of Yunhua Palace, then Yunhua Palace decided not to separate the responsibility.

If the murderer can be caught, it's okay, but if he can't be caught, the government doesn't care. Once this matter gets out, Yunhua Palace will stand in the center of a whirlpool, and will be under the pressure of public opinion from all directions. It will affect the word-of-mouth and reputation of the common people.

From this point of view, Nangong Min played ruthlessly this time. She couldn't tear down the foundation of Yunhua Palace, so she tried every means to tarnish the reputation of Yunhua Palace.

She is especially treacherous and cunning, she always hides in the dark to stir up troubles, and she does everything cleanly without leaving any clues, even if the other sects can tell at a glance that the Ziwei Sect is behind the scenes, they can't help them .

Head-to-head confrontation doesn't work, so they come up with tricks.

Great means.

With a sound of "crack", the candle flame burst into flames, disrupting the silence of the night, Man Jiangxue frowned, and asked again: "How about Jincheng?"

Lu Huaiwei said: "Everything is fine in Jincheng, perhaps because Senior Sister Ye is in charge in person, there is no trouble there."

"It shouldn't be," Man Jiangxue put down the long whip in his hand, but did not relax his arms around Yin Qiu, "Nothing is difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart, even if there is Zhilan in charge, if the Ziwei Cult wants to kill, no one It can be prevented."

Lu Huaiwei thought about it: "Could it be that... the Ziwei Sect doesn't want to attack Jincheng?" After saying this, she overturned it on her own, "But it doesn't make sense, but for all the territories under our Yunhua jurisdiction, the Ziwei Sect They should not let it go, so why did they bypass Jincheng?"

If there must be a reason not to attack Jincheng, what would it be?

The game between Yunhua Palace and Ziwei Sect has always been at a disadvantage. It is precisely because Ziwei Sect has many evils and is not afraid of causing trouble at all. The most important thing is that Nangong has no weakness or weakness for this person. Even if Yunhua Palace wants to fight back, it will not I don't know where to find trouble for the Ziwei Sect. At most, when the two factions meet, they kill a few insignificant followers to vent their anger, but Nangong Min never cares about the life and death of the people below. Eyelids don't even move.

What's more, since the main altar of the Ziwei sect caught fire, Nangong Min abandoned Hezhou City, and only used the rebuilt altar as a sub-helm. She is now in Cang County. Although she has not caused trouble in the past few years, she has also secretly expanded The forces in the sect, nowadays, the entire southward movement is almost occupied by the Ziwei sect. It is absolutely impossible to succeed in the move of breaking into the general altar as it did back then.

An invulnerable and sinister enemy, who can guard against it day and night?

But this time, Yunhua Palace is tantamount to being dumb once again.

"Regardless of why there is no accident in Jincheng, Zhilan will take strict precautions when they hear the wind," Man Jiangxue said after thinking for a while, "The matter has come to this point, we can only do our best to reduce casualties, and we must not call other states The refugees also all died this winter."

What Nangong Min wants is to kill all the refugees, so as to shake the status of Yunhua Palace in Jianghu. However, when the matter develops here, it is more important to save the lives of those refugees than to fight with Ziwei Sect. If other states The city is also the same as Yao Dingcheng, so going down, Yunhua Palace is bound to be in a very difficult situation.

The more Lu Huaiwei thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and said angrily: "The Ziwei Sect has been harming the world for a long time, is there really no way to wipe them all out?"

To this, Man Jiangxue did not give an answer.

There has always been disputes in the rivers and lakes. The opposition between black and white has been formed since ancient times. Without the Ziwei Sect, there will be other sects doing evil. How difficult is it to achieve peace in this world?

"If you want to deal with the Ziwei Cult, you have to kill Nangong Min," Man Jiangxue replied after a while, "but right now, no one can kill her."

"Isn't Master Uncle okay?" Lu Huaiwei asked.

"If I fight alone, I do have the confidence to kill her," Man Jiangxue said, "but she won't give me this chance."

Lu Huaiwei could only sigh: "Currently Yao Dingcheng is short of manpower, I can't leave for the time being, such a big incident will spread all over the world within two days, uncle, you should go back to the palace and discuss the countermeasures with the master. We, Yunhua, can no longer sit still and wait for death, Nangong is sympathetic to this person, it is really a disaster that cannot last long."

She was right, it is indeed necessary to go back to the palace to discuss this matter with Xie Yijun, Man Jiangxue simply responded, Lu Huaiwei bowed to leave, and Yin Qiu followed the trend and asked: "When will the uncle return to the palace?"

Man Jiangxue thought for a moment and said, "There is no need to delay, we will leave tomorrow."

Yin Qiu was surprised: "So fast?"

"I don't often ask about Jianghu affairs," Man Jiangxue said. "The senior sister in charge is better than me in these aspects. In addition, next month the Nine Immortals Hall will hold the Mozi Terrace. It is necessary for me to meet her."

Hearing this, Yin Qiu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously touched Zhubing on his waist.

Since meeting Afu that night in prison, several days have passed in a blink of an eye. Yin Qiu originally forgot about it, but now that Man Jiangxue mentioned it, he couldn't help frowning: "Speaking of Mozi Terrace, Afu revealed that the Ziwei Cult will also be invited to attend, and Weicheng is where the Nine Immortals Hall sits, if Nangongmin goes there in person..."

She didn't say the whole thing, Man Jiangxue continued: "If she goes there in person, it will just give me a chance to kill her."

Yin Qiu suddenly showed uneasiness and worry: "So, Mozitai and his party have become much more dangerous, uncle, I am not at ease."

"Don't worry, don't think too much about it for now," Man Jiangxue patted Yin Qiu's head, "How to do it depends on how the senior sister in charge arranges it, so don't mess yourself up."

Yin Qiu nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then when I go back to the palace tomorrow, do I have to go on the road with my uncle?"

Man Jiangxue looked at her and asked, "You don't want to go back?"

"It's useless for me to go back. It's better to go to other states to help," Yin Qiu said, "Senior Sister Lu can't leave, and Sister Ye can't leave Jincheng easily. I have appointed a leader in charge, since I am a member of Jingyue Peak, I should do more things for my uncle."

"Then you wait for my news." Man Jiangxue flipped Yin Qiu's braid, her eyes were gentle, "I will come to you after all the discussions are over."

Hearing the plain words, Yin Qiu's ears felt very warm. She smiled softly and said softly, "Okay."

"When you go out, you must protect yourself," Man Jiangxue warned again, "If you encounter the Ziwei Sect, avoid it if you can. Nangong Min may attack you."

Yin Qiu took Zhubing off his waist, shook it and said, "Don't be afraid, I can hit ten one by one now."

Man Jiangxue smiled, looking at Yin Qiu's smiling face, the corners of his lips curled up.
