Temperament

This proposal is no small matter, if Zhuo Xiaocang dared to propose it, he must be able to do it.Although he knew that Zhuo Xiaocang could not take the other party's only son as a hostage, it was a question of whether Meng Liren could agree to the other children.Mo Qiancheng was very worried, and just about to speak out, Meng Liren's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuo is so sincere, how dare I not follow?"

Mo Qiancheng was surprised, "You two..."

The river wind blows and the light is getting darker and darker. The torches on the trestle bridges on both sides of the bamboo pavilion are lit up one by one. Looking from a distance, they look like a bright pearl lying across the river.

Shen Qinglan wrapped the cloak around her body tightly, put her hands to her mouth and exhaled, hearing the hearty laughter from the bamboo pavilion, she was delighted, it seemed that the negotiation was going well.

"Is it cold?" Meng Huaiyuan reached out and touched his face, then took his right hand and put it in his palm, "You don't have internal energy, it's normal to be afraid of cold." He said to stimulate internal energy, be careful Passed some to him.

The warmth goes all the way up from the place where the palms touch, passes through the arms, the body, and reaches the chest, softening the heart.Shen Qinglan looked sideways at the people around her, Meng Huaiyuan's face seemed to be shining in the darkness, especially his pair of smiling eyes, which always made him indulge in it unknowingly.

He stretched out his left hand to his chest, and felt a piece of thin and soft cloth through the cloth. It was a parchment book that had accompanied him for eight years, and it was being ironed on his chest right now. My heart gets hotter.

If... it's time to tell him this secret, then...

Face was burning hot with the cold wind, Shen Qinglan's thoughts were spinning intensively, before she knew it, she opened her mouth softly, "Senior brother, did you see the desk..."

The wind blew the flags fluttering, and the waves on the river became more and more urgent under the agitation of the wind.

Mo Qiancheng's internal force suddenly heard a voice from the bamboo pavilion: "The emperor is above and the earth is below. Today, the Zhuo and Meng families are here on the Qianlong River, in front of the heroes of the world. , Write a book as evidence. Now the covenant has been completed, and the two heads of the family drank blood to make an oath, drank wine and swore that from now on, they will be strict with themselves and abide by the covenant!"

Cheers erupted from the fleets on both sides, and everyone looked forward to the bamboo pavilion.

But seeing Zhuo Xiaocang and Meng Liren standing opposite each other in the bamboo pavilion, they raised their wine bowls, bumped them boldly in the air, and drank with their heads up.One shot the bottom of the bowl, slammed the bowl into pieces in front of the pavilion, and then Mo Qiancheng swore just now, "If there is any violation, it will be the same as this bowl!"

"The ritual is done," Meng Huaiyuan turned to Shen Qinglan, "What did you just say?"

"I..." After being interrupted like this, the previous courage seemed to have been blown away by the cold wind a lot, Shen Qinglan hesitated, "It means..."

"Okay!" Mo Qiancheng's sonorous and forceful voice came from the bamboo pavilion again, "You two masters, please exchange tokens!"

"Yezi Jiang Moyan received the order to quickly send the Zijin Ruyi Jiuyunding, the token of the alliance!"

"Student Shen Qinglan listened to the order, and presented the oath token, a thousand boats of sheep fat and white jade!"

The two high-pitched shouts, propelled by profound internal force, echoed layer upon layer on the surface of the river, seeming to stir up the waves of the river by a few feet.On the Zhuojiatou boat, Zhuo Tianyi looked surprised and asked Jiang Moyan in his arms, "When did my father accept you as a foster son?"

"No." Jiang Moyan was also extremely surprised. Zhuo Xiaocang had always shown an undisguised contempt for him, and even if Zhuo Tianyi facilitated such a thing, it would not be too much. possible.

Although the several Zhuo family masters and uncles nearby were also surprised by the mention of "adopted son", but when the family ordered Jiang Moyan to present the Zhuo family token on such an occasion, there was a reason for him, and they all urged on the side.

In a hurry, Zhuo Tianyi didn't have time to ask more questions, so an uncle brought the tray with Jiuyun Ding and sent it to Jiang Moyan, "The token of the Zhuo family must be held securely."

Jiang Moyan nodded in agreement.Zhuo Tianyi held his waist with one hand, supported the tray with the other, and helped him off the deck of the first ship, and walked onto the trestle, "It's windy on the river, walk slowly."

Jiang Moyan gave a "hmm" and looked back at him, "I will be careful." Zhuo Tianyi lifted his cloak and fur collar up again, then reluctantly let go, and watched him walk up to the windy place. Trestle.

Under the banner of Meng Zi, Shen Qinglan stretched out her hand to take the white jade thousand boat sent by the Zhuo family's master uncle, and smiled slightly at Meng Huaiyuan who was holding up his collar for him, "Master told me to send the token there, and I will tell you when I come back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Meng Huaiyuan pulled his sleeve to the hand holding the tray, then glanced at the trestle, and said softly: "Be careful, I'll warm you a pot of 'Drunken Spring Breeze' when you come back."

Shen Qinglan was overjoyed when she heard the word "drunk spring breeze", "That's it, brother, you are not allowed to cheat this time!"

Meng Huaiyuan laughed, "Don't skip, my junior brother Qing Lan has grown up. Go, brother is waiting for you." He patted him on the shoulder and sent him to the trestle.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and on the swaying trestle bridge, two figures moved towards the bamboo pavilion, not only attracting the attention of the people in the pavilion, but also affecting the hearts of the people on board.

After entering the bamboo pavilion, Shen Qinglan walked behind Meng Liren and stood there with her head bowed, "Master, Qinglan was ordered to bring the token here."

Out of the corner of his eye, behind Zhuo Xiaocang opposite, a gorgeously dressed young man was also whispering to him. Wherever he looked, there was a downcast face with slightly raised eyebrows and the corners of his eyes.

Suddenly I heard Meng Liren say "OK" loudly, and then there was a sudden wind, and she was pushed heavily on the back. Before Shen Qinglan realized what happened, she was knocked into the opposite Zhuo Xiao with the tray by that force. Cang's palm.

Before he could stand still, Zhuo Xiaocang forcibly turned him around. Shen Qinglan was horrified to find that Master Meng Liren's hands were also grabbing the young man who was standing behind Zhuo Xiaocang before.

Behind him, Zhuo Xiaocang laughed, and his voice was like a bell, "Brother Meng, today you and I have made a covenant, and all our grievances and grievances will be wiped out. I, Zhuo Xiaocang, will do what I say and hand over my adopted son Jiang Moyan to the Meng family as a hostage To show my determination to be friendly with the Meng family from generation to generation. From now on, Jiang Moyan is a member of your Meng family, and the Zhuo family will never regret it!"

Shen Qinglan was shocked, and the face of the young man opposite immediately turned pale, and she begged Zhuo Xiaocang behind her: "Uncle..."

In the distance, a loud shout suddenly came from the direction of the Zhuo family's fleet: "No! You can't let Mo Yan be a hostage, Mo Yan will come back!"

Shen Qinglan's heart sank, "Master..."

But Meng Liren didn't look at him, but grabbed the young man, and said loudly to Zhuo Xiaocang who was facing him: "Brother Zhuo's sincerity is so heart-moving. It's not rude to come and go, and I, Meng Liren, am here to announce to the world Hero, the Meng family is willing to hand over disciple Shen Qinglan to the Zhuo family as a hostage, from now on, Shen Qinglan will be a member of the Zhuo family, and I, Meng Liren, will never regret it!"

Shen Qinglan fell into an ice cave, her lips trembling, "Master, why..."

Only then did Meng Liren look at him, but his eyes were full of seriousness, he sighed, and said: "Qing Lan, it has been eight years since Huaiyuan rescued you back to the Meng family, Master knows that you are sensible and a good boy. Master is getting old, and he intends to hand over all the affairs of the Meng family to Huaiyuan. Now that the Mengzhuo family has just established an alliance, and all businesses are waiting for prosperity, Huaiyuan and the Meng family need you to share their worries. Qinglan, don't blame the master for being cruel, help Give me your brother, okay?"

The light in Shen Qinglan's eyes quickly dimmed, and the coldness was like an arrow, piercing from the skin to the bottom of her heart. The moment she looked away, she heard a familiar voice from the direction of the Meng's fleet outside the pavilion: "Father, you can't do this Ah! Qing Lan, Qing Lan!"

In an instant, his body seemed to have strength again, and he rushed towards the outside of the pavilion, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."

On the body, Zhuo Xiaocang's hands were like iron claws, tightly wrapping around his shoulders, making him unable to move.But in an instant, Zhuo Xiaocang lifted his body lightly and flew out of the pavilion.

"The covenant is established, Brother Meng, don't worry, the Zhuo family will never go back on their word, let's say goodbye!" Zhuo Xiaocang clasped his fist at Meng Liren in the air, and then swung his palm in the air. After several thunderous palm winds, outside the bamboo pavilion The trestle bridge on the north side of the river seemed to be struck by lightning, broken bamboos flew across, the torches on the bridge were all extinguished, and fell into deep darkness.

"Brother Zhuo, there will be a time later!" At the same time, on the other side of the bamboo pavilion, Meng Liren flew over the trestle bridge holding Jiang Moyan's figure, and the trestle bridge on that side also turned into pieces of broken bamboo in the fierce palm wind , did not enter the river.

The river was plunged into darkness, Mo Qiancheng and the heads of the various sects in the bamboo pavilion abandoned the pavilion before Zhuo Meng and the two left, boarded a big boat that had been waiting outside the bamboo pavilion, and left first.

Shen Qinglan's heart sank like a bamboo pavilion crushed by the palm wind, one after another sank into the dark bottomless river, cold despair rushed towards her face, drowning everything, even when Zhuo Xiaocang fell off the deck, she threw him on the deck I can't even feel the pain of a bump.

On the other side of the river, the Meng family's fleet had already set sail, and there was a lot of voices in my ears, but I couldn't hear the slightest trace of that familiar voice.Shen Qinglan struggled and jumped onto the ship's side, "Brother...Meng Huaiyuan! Huaiyuan!" The heart-piercing shout exhausted his last strength, and finally he collapsed on the deck, sinking into the abyss of despair.

At this time, on the Zhuo family's head boat, except for a few servants, there were not many Zhuo family members who could pay attention to him.The disciples of the Zhuo family were in a scuffle with Zhuo Tianyi, who was besieged and furious.

"Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless!" Zhuo Tianyi looked crazy, and with his own strength, he broke through the obstruction of seven or eight disciples of the Zhuo family, and was about to grab the boat behind the first boat and go after him Meng family fleet.

Zhuo Xiaocang took a few steps forward, picked up the next disciple who was knocked flying by Zhuo Tianyi's palm, threw it aside, and shouted angrily: "Are they all dead? Hurry up and take him down!"

When the family gave an order, all the disciples of the Zhuo family, who were still somewhat constrained by the young master, immediately rushed forward.Zhuo Tianyi tore off his outer robe and threw it aside, gritted his teeth, and hit his elbow with all his strength. With a bang, he knocked open a gap, and the injured disciple flew around and fell out of the circle.

Zhuo Xiaocang was so angry that his beard and hair were stretched out, and he made a move with both hands, "Brothers, Xiao Cang, I have no way to teach my son, and I made everyone laugh. Please help me, brothers, to take down this rebellious son!"

As soon as these words came out, the uncles who were originally unwilling to fight with the younger generation, but only advised them, couldn't sit still, and they all attacked together.Zhuo Tianyi was outnumbered and was finally defeated. His acupuncture points were restrained and he stood on the deck, unable to move.

"Father, let me ask you, why did you give Mo Yun as a hostage to the Meng family?!" The person couldn't move, but his mouth refused to be idle, Zhuo Tianyi gritted his teeth and asked bitterly.

Zhuo Xiaocang walked up to him in a few steps, raised his hand, and said, "Pa", five finger marks immediately appeared on Zhuo Tianyi's left face, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding.

"I don't like you, you still have the face to ask me? The Zhuo and Meng families have been fighting for more than 100 years. How can the grievances and resentments be resolved so easily? Of course this is for the good of the Zhuo family!"

"But why is it Mo Ji?! Why?!" Zhuo Tianyi spat out a mouthful of blood and chased after him.

"Why can't it be him?!" Zhuo Xiaocang asked resolutely, "Jiang Moyan was bought from the Land of Fengyue with money from the Zhuo family. Spend wisely!"

"Spend on the edge of a knife? Huh!" Zhuo Tianyi sneered disdainfully, "You know he is my beloved, but you still give him to the Meng family?! In my opinion, you just want to tear us apart!"

"Break you apart?" Zhuo Xiaocang smirked strangely, "Okay! Let me tell you, I just want to break you up! How about it?! I will never allow the Zhuo family's style to be defeated by a dusty man!"

"No! Mo Yun is clean, he is definitely not the dusty man you said!"

"Slap", another slap in the face, Zhuo Tianyi's face was tilted to one side, "It's not a man of dust, but a man!" Zhuo Xiaocang gnashed his teeth and scolded, "Don't you think it's shameful enough? You hang out with a man every day , hugging and hugging in the crowd, my old face, Zhuo Xiaocang, and the face of the Zhuo family, are all thrown away by you!"

"I don't care!" Zhuo Tianyi refused to lag behind, "Whether you agree or not, I will recognize him! He is the person I love the most in my life! I want to take him back!"

"How dare you?!" Zhuo Xiaocang was trembling with anger, "The leader of the martial arts alliance presided over it, and all the sects witnessed it. As the head of the Zhuo family, I made an oath of high-fiving with Meng Liren, and made an alliance with blood. You want our Zhuo family to lose faith, Are you ashamed of the heroes of the world?!"

This time Zhuo Tianyi didn't contradict him, he just closed his eyes and held his breath without saying a word.Zhuo Xiaocang felt strange, and just about to take a closer look, he heard a senior brother say in a deep voice: "No, Tianyi is forcing his luck into the acupoint, stop him!"

Before the words finished, Zhuo Xiaocang stepped forward, raised his palm and slapped Zhuo Tianyi's big acupoints on his chest.Zhuo Tianyi's body softened, and he opened his mouth to spit out a big mouthful of blood, spraying Zhuo Xiaocang's head and face.

Zhuo Xiaocang was furious, wiped the blood off his face, and waved his hand, "You bastard! Come here, tie up this traitor and take him back to Jinyang!"

After a while of fuss, the Zhuo family fleet set sail and headed for the ancient city of Jinyang in the north of the Yangtze River.

Calm was restored on the Qianlong River, and a few fallen leaves flew across the water, submerged in the gurgling river, and flowed eastward.

Since then, Zhuo and Meng's two families have emulated the deeds of the ancients who host each other's children in order to eliminate their grievances, which has been passed down as a good story in the martial arts and widely praised.

The author has something to say: Zhuo, Dong, Meng, and Dong worked together to demolish Xipi, President Zhuo and President Meng have had a bumpy relationship since then, and the feudal parents are really outstanding representatives of the evil forces who beat mandarin ducks...
