Chapter 43

Shen Qiao supported her forehead: "Shen feels that this is no longer a coincidence."

Yan Wushi slowly picked up the cup that was upside down on the table and poured half a glass of water, but he didn't drink it, just kept it: "Where in life do not meet, parting at the end of the world, meeting at the corner, this seat feels very fateful ."

Shen Qiao: "Why did Sect Master Yan come here?"

Yan Wushi: "Why are you here again?"

Shen Qiao: "I'm going to the capital of Qi, Yecheng."

Yan Wushi: "Oh, coincidentally, I'm going to Yecheng too."

Shen Qiao laughed and laughed: "I'm going to find someone, why don't you go and find someone?"

Yan Wushi: "What a wonderful thing you said, why can't I go to someone?"

Shen Qiao ignored him, silently drank tea, ate snacks, paid the money, and set off on the road again leaning on a bamboo stick.

Yan Wushi also got up, put his hands behind his back, and followed behind unhurriedly.

The distance between the two has always been about seven or eight steps, neither closer nor farther.

Shen Qiao responded to the changes without change, entered Liangzhou City, found an inn, booked a guest room, put down the light luggage, and then asked for some food, sitting on the second floor and eating slowly.

At this time, it was halfway through noon, and most of the guests who had finished eating had left. The second floor was empty, but the downstairs was lively. The lunch market had just begun, and many people rushed to the market with goods.

Shen Qiao asked for a bottle of plum soup, and just after half a sip, Yan Wushi came up slowly from the stairs at the corner.

He smiled slightly at Shen Qiao: "Your expression doesn't seem to have the surprise of meeting an old friend in a foreign land."

Shen Qiao said helplessly: "If Sect Master Yan didn't come to me on purpose, I would be happier."

Yan Wushi: "I didn't come to you."

He sat down next to Shen Qiao, and Shen Qiao called the guy from the restaurant to serve another pot of plum soup and a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Yan Wushi smiled and said, "Why is A Qiao so eager to draw a line with me?"

Shen Qiao didn't take it seriously: "I remember that you always loved Jie and didn't want to share a pot with others."

Yan Wushi stopped talking.

Shen Qiao: "If Sect Master Yan didn't come to me, why did he come?"

Yan Wushi: "Yuwenyong has made a plan to attack Qi, and the state of Qi has changed when he hears it, and there are also differences within the Hehuan Sect."

He didn't need the soup pot that the man had brought up, instead he grabbed the one that Shen Qiao used, poured some into his bowl, and took a sip.

"Yuan Xiuxiu wanted to cooperate with the Huanyue Sect, but Sang Jingxing refused. The two fell out. Yuan Xiuxiu passed the news to me that Sang Jingxing was currently in Yecheng and wanted to cooperate with me to kill him."

In the past, when the Sun and Moon Sect was divided, Sang Jingxing, as the only disciple of the last generation of Sect Master Cui Youliang, did not seek to reunify the Demon Sect. If anyone in this regard looks down on him and thinks that his ability is limited, it is a big mistake.

Although this person is a murderer, loves beauty, and has countless enemies, his martial arts are first-class and tyrannical. Among the top ten in the world, his martial arts ranking is particularly indeterminate. Some people say that he is enough to rank in the top three, and others say Not in the top three.

It is said that Cui Youwang had absorbed all his skills before he died. What's more, it is said that Sang Jingxing had done a great deal of rebellion and killed his master. Although no one saw it with his own eyes, given Sang Jingxing's reputation, many people would not mind it again. Add such a charge to him.

Shen Qiao sighed: "Yuan Xiuxiu was able to create the Hehuan Sect, and Sang Jingxing must have done a lot of work, but now they have turned against each other, why is it that they have to kill each other!"

Yan Wushi laughed: "You Xuandu Mountain still have examples of brothers and sisters killing each other, not to mention the fact that the devil eats the weak, it will only be more naked and undisguised, and now Sang Jingxing has formed his own faction in the Hehuan Sect, and his disciples are invisible and invisible. Dividing Yuan Xiuxiu's power in the middle, she doesn't show it on the face, she may not hate it in her heart, otherwise you killed Sang Jingxing's apprentice Huo Xijing in front of her, why hasn't she sought revenge from you so far?"

Shen Qiao: "It is very likely that Yuan Xiuxiu wants to take the opportunity to use your hand to eradicate Sang Jingxing."

Yan Wushi: "Even so, Sang Jingxing is dead, isn't it a good thing for this seat? Without Sang Jingxing's Hehuan Sect, how can Yuan Xiuxiu compete with the Huanyue Sect in the future? After Qi was annexed by the Zhou Dynasty, the power of these people to make troubles was limited."

Shen Qiao shook his head and held up the soup bowl: "Then I wish Sect Master Yan's wishes come true."

Yan Wushi: "Thank you."

The two people's soup bowls touched, and there was a pleasant crisp sound. Shen Qiao remembered when the two first met, was afraid that had never thought of such a peaceful moment of face-to-face chat, and couldn't help but smile.

Yan Wushi saw the smile at the corner of his mouth, but looked away, and took asparagus with chopsticks: "Where's the person you're looking for, have you found it?"

Shen Qiao: "Not yet, I heard that they went all the way north, but unfortunately they couldn't catch up all the way."

Yan Wushi: "You are looking for Yu Ai and the others?"

Shen Qiao didn't hide it: "Yes, I have recovered some martial arts now, enough to protect myself, I'm not afraid of what Yu Ai wants to do, even if there is a disagreement, it's not a problem to leave, I heard that he brought two elders and Junior Sister Gu this time. , I'm going to enter the Eastern Turks, I want to talk to Junior Sister Gu first."

Yan Wushi: "Since Yu Ai has left Xuandu Mountain, and Xuandu Mountain is now headless, why don't you go back to Xuandu Mountain first and take back the position of headmaster, and there is nothing you can do when he returns."

Shen Qiao shook his head: "Yu Ai acted meticulously, he didn't reveal anything about his previous poisoning, and now he will leave Xuandu Mountain for East Turkistan with confidence, he must have made a comprehensive plan, he is not afraid of me going back, he is alone I can't do such a thing. From the beginning to the end, except for most of the people who don't know the truth and have been kept in the dark, there must be someone in Xuandu Mountain who secretly supports him. Luo Net, on the contrary, it is the people he brought out that might not listen to dispatches on weekdays. Junior Sister Gu is also something I grew up with, so I still have some confidence in her."

Yan Wushi listened carefully, nodded and smiled: "Then I also wish you an early fulfillment of your wishes."

Even if he speaks softly on weekdays, he always brings a bit of teasing and playfulness. When he rarely speaks calmly and normally, Shen Qiao also smiled and said, "Thank you."

There is still a considerable distance from Liangzhou to Yecheng. The two stayed in Liangzhou for a day, then set off for the north. After leaving Liangzhou, the closer they got to Yecheng, the more refugees. The scene was a bit more depressing than before, and couldn't help but stop and look into the distance, and from a distance, saw the homeless people walking along the dried-up riverbed towards the capital, listless and dazed.

In his memory, he has also encountered such a scene countless times, which seems to be completely separated from the world of Jianghu people.

Many people who can stand on the rivers and lakes and have a place in the rivers and lakes, in fact, generally have a small surplus in their families. Some even come from big landowners, or they have a huge family property, like the Liuhe Gang. That is the real great business of the family, not to mention the Huanyue Sect. It has a deep relationship with the Northern Zhou court and has many industries in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty and even in various places.

Even if the previous generations insisted on not joining the WTO, Xuandu Zifu, in fact, as early as the generation of the founder of the mountain, he had already bought the entire Xuandu Mountain. Leasing, even if the past dynasties of Xuandu Mountain are good-hearted and only charge a fair rent, these plus the properties on Xuandu Mountain are enough to make Xuandu Mountain's disciples live a stable life.

Wealth and worry-free life can make people concentrate on practicing and pursue martial arts. If you can’t even fill your stomach and worry about the next meal, how can you still have the mind to practice?

If you look at these refugees in front of you, their children will face natural and man-made disasters from the moment they are born, and they will not eat three meals a day. Even more cruel, they may be used as spare food by their parents, even if there may be one or two outstanding talents among them. Martial arts geniuses, they are also very likely to have died before they were discovered by Wisdom Eye.

"A Qiao is soft-hearted again!" Yan Wushi rarely sneered, but instead sighed with a half smile.
