Chapter 12: The Xiangyin Covenant

Chapter 12 The Appointment with Xiangyin

Lou Chuan stayed in Yangzhou for three days. Long Ying secretly met with Gui Youwei and Song Yanzhi respectively to arrange various issues for Ling Yu's family to settle down in Yangzhou. Then he said goodbye to his fat father-in-law and his lovely wives and watched Lou Chuan go north to recover.

In the capital, he followed the agreement with Liu Nanguang and rushed to Yueyang by land, traveling day and night. This time there was no room for error, and there must be no mistakes. Not only did he want to deceive Dajiang Lian, but he also wanted to deceive the sluts around Liu Nanguang.

, so we worked hard on the details. How did Liu Nanguang get to Yueyang? How did he disappear? The entire process of replacing him with Long Ying was carefully considered and meticulous. More importantly, Long Ying had to figure out Liu Nanguang's current situation, otherwise

If you ask someone from Dajianglian, they will immediately expose him as a "fake".

The two met in the mountains on the outskirts of the city.

Liu Nanguang returned to his original appearance and said: "It feels very strange. It's a bit like being brought back to its original shape and turning back into a person who is idle and has nothing."

On the small hill, Long Ying scanned the far and near plains under the moonlit night and the Dongting Lake in the northwest, and said with a smile: "Are you addicted to Fan Qingzhou?"

Liu Nanguang nodded and said: "Power and wealth, and everything that comes with them, will indeed make people obsessed with them, making it difficult to turn back. It's really not used to suddenly having nothing to do and having to hide."

Long Ying grabbed his shoulder and said, "Three months have gone by so quickly that you can't believe it. Taking this opportunity to practice martial arts is beneficial and harmless. What have you done recently?"

Liu Nanguang then recounted the situation after the breakup, especially the business development, and the people he had contacted in detail. Finally, he said: "The most sensational thing in recent days is the reappearance of two magic sect masters who slipped through the net.

Jianghu, also intends to assassinate Zhongzong. These two are really powerful. They were surrounded heavily in Xiangyang and still escaped safely."

Long Ying said: "What else?"

Under Long Ying's glare, Liu Nanguang searched his guts, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! I also received an invitation from Pegasus Ranch and was invited to participate in the Pegasus Festival to be held next autumn. Of course I shouldn't go, right?"

"

He added: "Speaking of invitations, I remember a strange thing."

Long Ying asked in surprise: "Is there anything strange? Is it related to the invitation?"

Liu Nanguang said: "On the fifth day after the invitation was handed over to me, I received a fragrant note with the words 'Festival of Pegasus, let's renew our relationship with you'."

If so, sign with the Chinese character 'Wei'."

Long Ying thought for a long time, and then said in shock: "Oops! There will be trouble this time."

Liu Nanguang's expression changed: "Trouble?"

Long Ying said: "How did the note get to you?"

Liu Nanguang said: "So I nailed the arrow in my sleeve to the door of the house. When my servants went to answer the door, they saw no one but the arrow writing."

Long Ying asked: "Is it so easy to find your residence?"

Liu Nanguang said: "Because it is not easy, I remember it deeply. After becoming Fan Qingzhou, I have been living in an unstable place. This morning I don't know where I will sleep tonight."

Long Ying muttered: "Looking at it this way, she has already investigated you."

Liu Nanguang said: "Who is she?"

Long Ying was still frowning and thinking hard, and responded casually: "It's your old lover."

Liu Nanguang said in astonishment: "There are quite a few of them who can be considered old lovers. I wonder which one they are?"

Long Ying said angrily: "It's Fan Qingzhou's old lover, a female snitch named Caiwei. She abandoned Fan Qingzhou back then and made him drink heavily for a while. Alas! She must have known that you were a fake, why not

Direct blackmail, but you want to use the trick of leaving a letter with an arrow in your sleeve?"

Liu Nanguang said: "If she spreads rumors that I am pretending to be Fan Qingzhou, won't all my previous efforts be in vain?"

Long Ying said: "So what if she exposes you? Who will believe her? At most, it will damage our relationship with Dajiang United, but you can still continue to be your Fan Qingzhou. Don't worry! What good will it do to her to expose you? Because she has another I have a plan, so I will give you some hints in this note so that you can be mentally prepared."

Liu Nanguang said: "The hint is very clear, it is related to the Pegasus Festival."

Long Ying said: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Because of the Pegasus, I got the opportunity to sneak into the Dajiang Alliance, and because of the Pegasus, I attracted the female snitch. Every gain and loss is really a confusing account."

Liu Nanguang said: "She should use my cover to steal things from the ranch. What does she want to steal?"

Long Ying said: "It must be gold and silver jewelry, otherwise I can blackmail you directly. Don't underestimate this woman, she is proficient in disguise modification, she has never failed, and she will appear under the circumstances we least expect. Teach us that even if we have the intention to kill and silence her, we can't do anything to her."

He patted Liu Nanguang on the shoulder and said, "We will talk about everything after I come back. Remember to act according to the plan."

Liu Nanguang respectfully agreed.

Before arriving at Xiangyin, Longying had never thought that it was such a picturesque town. He didn't even have time to think about what kind of place Xiangyin was. He only knew that it was the starting point for Dajianglian General Forum.

He didn't deceive himself. He still had unfinished feelings about Hua Jian Ning'er's love. This Turkic slut's behavior in bed could indeed be described as a "beautiful thing".

There is no risk in going to Dajiang Lianfei. It is impossible for Liu Nanguang to tell him all the big and small things that happened in the past few years. However, the other party is closely monitoring Liu Nanguang's actions and even uses the tricks of the people next to him. Therefore, it is very likely that the answer will be exposed in the most unexpected place, or by answering a certain sentence incorrectly.

Fortunately, thanks to Song Yanzhi's move, he knew indirectly from other sources that Dajiang Lian still couldn't catch him, so they continued to investigate him through the intelligence network headed by Song Yanzhi.

It was in this anxious mood that he entered Xiangyin, a large town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The river passes through the town, the streams extend horizontally, the boats are connected in all directions, the rivers and streets intersect, and the bridges are convenient.

Long Ying walked through a series of round arch-style rolling doors, thousands of houses built near the water, with white walls and black tiles, brown and black wooden doors and partitions, stone steps at the river port, neat stone revetments, and small streets along the river. The ancient pines and green cypresses along the water lane are reflected in the ripples of the water, making the beautiful water town seem to exist in reality and in the water reflection at the same time.

When Long Ying passed an arch bridge, he stopped and leaned on the railing to look at a fishing boat that was casting a net for fishing in a corner of the river. Clothes of various colors were drying on the stern of the boat, full of the breath of life.

Xiangyin is a quiet town with not many pedestrians and a lazy atmosphere. Within a quarter of an hour after entering the town, Longying was captured by the picture scroll-like scenery and the charm of the water town, and he forgot everything.

The main street of Xiangyin is close to the dock area of ​​Xiangjiang River. There are many shops and concentrated flow of people. The road is paved with stone slabs and has gutters for drainage in rainy days. The shops are close to each other, which is very distinctive. Longying found the designated inn on the main street. I asked for a room and fell asleep without eating.

Long Ying woke up but did not open his eyes. He pretended that he was still having a good dream and breathed evenly.

Hua Jian Ning'er entered the room through the window as dexterously as a swallow, moved to the bedside, and stood silently.

Long Ying knew that she had seen through that he was pretending to be asleep, so he opened his eyes, put his hands on the back of his head, and said relaxedly: "How did the beauty know that my little brother was pretending to sleep?"

Hua Jian Ning'er said angrily: "What line of work did you do before you became famous?"

Long Ying said casually: "I forgot, this is called a hero who doesn't ask where he comes from. Hee! Now I have changed my mind and become a good person. Come! Let's make love first."

Hua Jian Ning'er sat next to the bed and warned: "Don't touch me, there are people waiting outside."

Long Ying knew that she was making false threats but did not expose them. He also knew that last time in Jiangling, she was half-forced to commit suicide. She was not convinced and had not fully surrendered to him. He looked at her and said, "Dear me."

You can always use your mouth!"

In the darkness of the guest room, Hua Jian Ning'er's pretty face turned red, but her tone remained cold, and she said sternly: "I really don't understand why the president attaches so much importance to a lecher like you. I have spent a lot of time recently, taking care of all the personnel.

I’ll help you settle your ancient dream of Yunnan-Guizhou trading company.”

Long Ying finally remembered "Fan Qingzhou" and Liang Zi of Gu Meng. It was Fan Qingzhou who stole one of Gu Meng's concubines. Fan Qingzhou's fellow countryman Han San also said he didn't understand why his elder brother Fan was so stupid. He would never steal it.

Stealing, stealing women from people he can't afford to offend.

He suddenly found that he had a better understanding of the pain and joy of Fa Ming's substitution into another identity, which could never be obtained from his ordinary self. Just like him now, he must think, react, feel, and method as "Fan Qingzhou".

It is possible to hide the truth from the other party after getting along for a long time.

If he continues to face the enemy in the customary way of "Dragon Eagle", it will only take Jian Ning'er to pass this test. He sighed: "Needless to mention the past, I am just such a person, doing things regardless of the consequences."

Hua Jian Ning'er gritted her teeth and said, "Are you scared?"

Long Ying reached out and grabbed her jade arm. Surprisingly, the Turkic beauty didn't refuse. She didn't protest until he pulled her into bed, "No! We have to leave immediately."

Long Ying kissed her while groping her body without any scruples.

Hua Jian Ning'er gasped delicately: "Don't fool around, business is important. Oh! Please don't."

After the clouds closed and the rain dispersed, the beautiful Hua Jian Ning'er lay on his chest and said softly: "Don't be happy because you succeed with someone again, Ning'er will never obey you willingly."

Long Ying thought to himself that this was strange. Hua Jian Ning'er was clearly a slut with a casual relationship between men and women, and the devotion and wantonness she showed just now showed that she had no feelings for him. Why was she so talkative but refused to admit it? Is it just that?

Because of the "hate of killing her husband", she thought it made no sense. She was just following orders and had no love for her deceased husband at all.

At this moment, he had a flash of enlightenment and grasped her subtle mentality. It was precisely because Hua Jian Ning'er had a rare affection for him that she hated him so much.

From Tiger Leaping Gorge to Jiangling, and then from Jiangling to Xiangyin, although he teased her in every possible way, took advantage of her unceremoniously, and even obtained her body, it was all a means to deal with the enemy. Under such circumstances,

Hua Jian Ning'er's keen female touch made Hua Jian Ning'er feel that she was treated as a plaything by him, but she was enjoying it, unable to resist. She couldn't help but hate herself, and she hated Long Ying even more.

If Hua Jian Ning'er has lust for him but not love, like the relationship with Chi Shanglou, if they are compatible, they will go if they are not compatible. It is just a show of love, but it is clean and refreshing.

You know, you know, Long Ying will never fall in love with this woman because of this. War is so cruel and unkind, and all means are used.

I was speechless for a moment, because I knew that no matter what I said, it would hurt her. After having just had the most intimate behavior between a man and a woman, I really couldn't bear it.

"Why don't you speak?"

Long Ying smiled bitterly and said, "What can I say, little brother?" He stretched out his hand to caress her strong and tender back without any excess fat.

Hua Jian Ning'er said: "Don't you mind at all that I hate you?"

Long Ying went against what he was thinking and replied: "If I cared about what other people think of me, my reputation wouldn't be so bad. Although I changed my behavior today, my nature is hard to change. I have long been used to ignoring whether others care. Alas! Ning!

Master Erxiang doesn't like me, what can I do? How about doing it again while I have some time?"

Hua Jian Ning'er said angrily: "Are you asking for the consent of the owner of this incense? You should know the answer." As she spoke, she lightly traced his chest with her fingertips, and said softly: "You still owe me

A woman? Don't tell me that you have a soft spot for someone else, you won't even believe it if you tell me."

Long Ying turned around, pressed her down, and said with a smile: "The Master Xiang just said what was in my heart."

Hua Jian Ning'er's body became hot, but her expression was as if nothing had happened, unmoved, and she said calmly: "I want to ask you a question. If I don't ask you, others will ask you, and the answer will be hesitant or improvised.

, will cause death and disaster for you."

Long Ying was surprised: "There is such a problem. Doesn't Ning'er hate me? Why do you care about your little brother so much all of a sudden?"

Hua Jian Ning'er said calmly: "The president has no doubts about you. The biggest problem is that your performance is so outstanding that you are completely different from your predecessors. What's especially puzzling is that, as you said yourself, you

Although he is not notorious, he is not a good person by any means. It can be said that the reason for capturing the flower picker is a huge bounty, but sending two little Taoist nuns to Cihang Jingzhai is completely unreasonable."

Long Ying's heart sank when he heard that, and he said displeasedly: "I can do whatever I want, not to mention that I hadn't joined Dajiang United at that time, so how could anyone else give me guidance? It's not me asking you to take me in, but you.

Come to recruit Fan."

Hua Jian Ning'er chuckled and said, "How good! I finally see you getting angry. In this regard, Mr. Kuan understands you. He once told the little Khan his analysis, saying that human nature is very strange.

Things. Under the threat of life and death, you had to join forces with the Wujiang Gang to destroy our fleet of sneak attacks on passenger and cargo ships. Therefore, you were regarded as a lifesaver by the Wujiang Gang and the passengers, and were held in a god-like position, allowing you to experience what it is like to do so.

The benefits of being a good person are far greater than being a gangster. Therefore, he made friends with Wang Yu and was entrusted by him to set traps to deal with flower pickers. After his success, he gained the support of the entire river and waterway military. It can be said that he has climbed to the dragon's gate.

The price is ten times the price. You are a smart person, and of course you will make wise choices. But if you just sit back and ignore the matter of the two Taoist nuns, you will destroy the image you have established by chance. This is called following the trend.

, in the end, you succeeded, and won the praise of the Baidao Wulin, including Gui Youwei of the Zhuhua Gang, no one cares about what evil things you have done before."

Long Ying thought that it would be best if Kuan Yu thought this way. At the same time, he was stunned. Kuan Yu did have a profound understanding of human nature. If he was really Fan Qingzhou, he might really change according to the situation at that time.

In the end, it is still a matter of interests. The so-called "making a fortune and establishing a good reputation" is still about striving for the greatest interests.

Long Ying said in confusion: "In that case, what questions do you still have to ask me?"

Hua Jian Ning'er said: "The biggest question is why are you willing to be so obedient and come when called instead of making excuses?"

Long Ying wondered: "Is it actually a problem to obey orders?"

Hua Jian Ning'er said: "It is a last resort decision to summon you to the main altar in such a hurry. Mr. Kuan had speculated that you would refuse to go to the main altar. After knowing that you agreed, although he did not say anything, I

Knowing that he was surprised that his prediction had failed."

Long Ying was so excited that he kissed her heavily on her lips, feeling grateful in his heart.

Hua Jian Ning'er responded enthusiastically.

Lip parting.

Hua Jian Ning'er replied with a cold expression, "You are a smart person, you should understand what I mean. That day I heard you say to Ge Fanglun that what you pursue is nothing but wealth and beauty, and now you have both.

This is what you have in your pocket, what else can you add to it? If you want to cut off the relationship with Dajiang United, no one can do anything to you, but if you go to the main altar, everything will no longer be under your control."

Long Ying rolled over from her delicate body to her, looked up at the roof beam, and said: "Yes! Why do I want to go to the main altar? Is it really influenced by my father?"

Hua Jian Ning'er took the opportunity to sit upright and asked: "Do you have political ambitions?"

Long Ying said: "I have been living a life of being drunk today and drunk the next. However, people look at high places and water at low currents. Any life becomes ordinary once you get used to it. I want to find something more exciting to do. Maybe this

That’s why I wanted to give it a try in the general forum to see if I really have the ability to dominate the world.”

Hua Jian Ning'er said: "Kuan Gong may be willing to accept your explanation. He often said that extraordinary people are always unwilling to be ordinary, and their ambitions and curiosity are endless. Ordinary people can only think in their hearts.

Think; extraordinary people take action.”

Long Ying said: "Does Master Ning Xiang believe my explanation?"

Hua Jian Ning'er shook her head gently, expressing disbelief.
