Although Ren Cangqiong is young, what kind of conspiracy has he not seen over the years? Qiu Lei wants to play this trick, and he is willing to accompany him. He will not expose it now, and waits for Qiu Lei's next step.
As expected, after drinking for three rounds, Qiu Lei suddenly said: "Master, there are only a few days until the battle of capturing the flag once every ten years. There is nothing wrong with the other seven flags, but this white flag... has not been able to do it until now.
There are not fifty men who can fight."
In a capture-the-flag battle between the Eight Banners, the minimum number of people must be fifty. This is a rule set by our ancestors.
Although the quality of the other Seven Banners varies, fifty people from any one of them are still more than enough. Only the White Flag lineage, as the last of the Eight Banners, has a pitifully small number of people who are qualified and qualified to participate.
There are even fewer capture-the-flag battles.
Decades ago, Baiqi had Qiu Manshuang's divine bloodline, and Qiu Chunde and his wife, a pair of cultivation wizards, had a chance to rise. However, later, Qiu Manshuang mysteriously disappeared, and Qiu Chunde's sect was completely wiped out.
Killing, White Flag has completely failed since then, and its talents have become less and less. Now it can't even gather fifty people who are qualified to participate in the war. It is really pitiful.
Now, the white-flag elders of the Presbyterian Church are basically just decorations and almost never have the opportunity to speak.
If this situation continues, I am afraid that the rules of coexistence of the Eight Banners set by our ancestors will be broken.
Faced with this embarrassing situation, the head of the family, Qiu Ming, also had a huge headache: "Baiqi...really can't even gather fifty people? How many people from the Baiqi lineage are qualified to participate in the war now?"
"Reporting to the head of the family, there are now a total of forty-nine people. Only one person is missing." Qiu Lei sighed, "It's really ridiculous. There is only one person missing. We can't gather the number of participants. Bai Qi is afraid that he will miss the battle to capture the flag this time.
Already."
It sounds like a perfect irony that only one person is missing to make up the required number of people.
The leader of the White Flag, who was drinking sullenly, had a sad face and felt deeply ashamed. This situation was no longer the same for a day or two. He was helpless and could not change anything.
At this time, Qiu stood up: "Qiu Yun has now returned to the White Flag lineage. She can also be regarded as a member of the White Flag, so in the battle to capture the flag, count me in."
Qiu's voice was not loud, but it had a moving power.
A helpless woman seemed to be weak, but at the critical moment, she ignited the white flag's hope of participating in the war.
Qiu Yuankong, the leader of the White Flag, was overjoyed. Yes, why didn't I think of it just now? There is now an additional Qiu Yun among the White Flag staff.
"Master, our Baiqi branch has gathered fifty people, and we can participate in this battle to capture the flag." Qiu Yuankong said excitedly.
"Mom!" Ren Cangqiong did not expect that his mother would suddenly announce that he would join White Flag in the battle to capture the flag, so he was slightly moved.
My mother is just an ordinary woman. Although she has the blood of a god, she has never practiced cultivation. Capturing the flag is nothing more than child's play, and my mother's participation is undoubtedly a moth throwing herself into the fire.
"My son in the sky, mother knows what she is doing." Mrs. Qiu patted her son's hand tenderly, "Mom has never done anything big in her life. She was separated from your grandparents when she was in her infancy. If they were in the spirit of heaven, at this time
.You must also want me to come forward."
"As expected of the blood of God, responsible and courageous." Qiu Lei stroked her hands and laughed, "Qiu Manshuang... Oh, by the way, I should call you Qiu Yun now. Although you are a woman, you are still a woman.
I admire you for not showing off your eyebrows."
Qiuyue Dao also echoed with a strange aura on the side: "The bloodline of God is extraordinary. Maybe this time Bai Qi can turn things around because of it."
Everyone could hear the strong sarcasm in Qiu Yuedao's words. The tragedy of the Qiu clan's annihilation was basically concocted by Qiu Yuedao, and many people present knew about it.
Ren Cangqiong suddenly had a thought in his mind, Daqing Qiurei and his son allowed them to join the flag in order to lure them into a trap in the battle to capture the flag!
Qiu Lei and his son are indeed vicious. They killed their grandfather and grandmother before, and now they have the idea of his own mother and son. If Ren Cangqiong guessed correctly, according to their speculation, he would never be willing to let his mother die.
He is in danger, so he must participate in this battle to capture the flag. Then they can design a plan against Ren Cangqiong.
Qiu Lei's intentions are indeed sinister. Even if Ren Cangqiong understands this conspiracy, he may not be able to refuse it at this moment, and it will be difficult for him to ride a tiger.
Under the current circumstances, the Qiu family cannot and will not withdraw from the battle to capture the flag, because the remaining dignity of the White Flag lineage is at stake.
Ren Cangqiong understood the truth, not only was he not afraid, but he simply took advantage of it: "It's a capture-the-flag battle. Ren Cangqiong, as a descendant of the White Flag lineage, should do his best. Besides, my mother doesn't practice, so this
At this critical moment, I will let Cang Qiong fight on my mother's behalf. I hope that the master of the family will do the same."
"This..." Qiu Ming hesitated for a moment and asked the leader of the powerful Datian Pavilion organization to fight for the white flag, which seemed to belittle Ren Cangqiong's status.
After hearing Ren Cangqiong's reply, Qiu Lei and his son were secretly happy. The young man couldn't hold his nerve and fell for the bait so easily!
"Master, since Cangqiong Sect's filial piety, how can we refuse? Fighting on behalf of my mother will be a good story if word spreads." Qiu Lei smiled, twirling his beard, "And with Cangqiong Sect's presence, this battle to capture the flag will definitely be a success.
It will be quite exciting, and the White Flag revitalization is just around the corner.”
Ren Cangqiong was secretly amused. I'm afraid this old guy Qiu Lei has been waiting for Ren Cangqiong to fall into his trap, right? He was so proud that he thought he was destined to be Ren Cangqiong.
I have no idea, I must give this guy some surprises when the time comes. If there is a chance, I will avenge my grandfather and his family together and put my mother's worries to rest.
"Okay, then it's settled! There will be a battle to capture the flag in three days, and my family leader is looking forward to the master of the Cangqiong Sect showing off his might." Qiu Ming laughed and drank all the wine in the cup.
The banquet seemed to end in great peace, and everyone seemed happy, but in fact there was an undercurrent.
Qiu Ming was considerate and settled Ren Cangqiong's mother and son in the Qiu family's original ancestral home.
Although it had been tidied up in advance, Ren Cangqiong and her son could still smell a hint of desolation from the slightly mottled outer wall of the ancestral home.
Qiu's eyes were moist. After decades of separation, things had changed, and her father and mother had all turned into a handful of loess.
Just when Qiu was feeling emotional, Ren Cangqiong suddenly realized something and shouted in a low voice: "Who is this sneaky person..."
But when I saw a rickety figure suddenly flashed out of the darkness, I knelt down straight to Mrs. Qiu. I burst into tears, filled with joy, and burst into tears: "Is the lady really you? I've been waiting for decades, but I didn't expect that it was really you.
Waiting for the day when a miracle happens..."
Through the dim light, Ren Cangqiong could see clearly what this person looked like.
Perhaps, he shouldn't be called "human", because his whole body is covered with sores eroded by strange poisons, one arm has been broken, and there are only a few white hairs on his bald head, making him look like an evil ghost.
, looks very scary.
"Who are you?" Ren Cangqiong shouted and asked, being cautious.
"The old slave's name is Qiu Sheng. He was originally the housekeeper of the young lady's house. After the young lady disappeared, the old slave was also poisoned to look like this." The man's voice was hoarse, like a broken gong, and his ferocious face was full of tears, "Old slave
I have been surviving until today because I have a belief in my heart that the lady will definitely come back."
"My grandfather's lineage was wiped out, how did you survive?" Ren Cangqionghu asked, there was something fishy about this matter.
"Because the old slave is not from the young lady's lineage, the Red Flag Qiuyue Sword did not kill me. Moreover, the old slave has lost all his cultivation and is already the same as a mortal. He has been poisoned like this and has not much life left, so he will not have any intention to fight against the red flag's lineage."
What kind of threat does it pose? I can't believe that this old slave will still be alive to see the young lady come back." Qiu Sheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "If you don't believe it, I have something to prove it."
After saying that, Qiu Sheng took out a sachet.
This sachet is exactly the same as the one on Qiu's body.
"This sachet was sewn by Madam. There are two of them in the world, and there is no third one." Qiu Sheng said excitedly, "And I also know that the lady has a small scarlet mole on the back of her neck."
Qiu immediately believed Qiu Sheng's words. No one except her closest relatives could know about this cinnabar mole.
"Butler Qiu Sheng, you have suffered a lot these past decades."
Qiu Yun and Qiu Sheng held each other's hands and cried. This upright and loyal housekeeper has been waiting for the Qiu family all these years, and his loyalty can be seen in the sun and the moon.
"Miss, young master, the walls here have ears, let's go in and talk." Qiu Sheng pushed the door open with his only hand.
Qiu and Ren Cangqiong entered the ancestral home. The surroundings were shabby, obviously because no one had lived there for a long time, and it looked extremely desolate and lacked vitality.
"The old slave is a useless person now, but he has been reluctant to die. Because I have to wait for the young lady to come back, because the old slave cannot let this massacre become a headless murder." Qiu Sheng couldn't help but choked, "Master, madam... they are really dead.
It’s so tragic, the young lady has no choice but to avenge such a bloody feud.”
"Qiu Sheng, this revenge will definitely be avenged. Don't worry, tell me in detail what happened that year. Why did my mother leave the secret realm at that time? What's the secret?" Ren Cangqiong frowned, wanting to know why.
The mother will disappear mysteriously and be abandoned outside the secret realm.
"Actually, everything that happened back then originated from the ambition of Chiqi Qiurei Qiuyue Dao and his son..." Qiu Sheng began to recall that dusty past.
It turns out that when the Qiu family was born, they had the blood of gods and were preselected as the candidate for the next generation of family head. This was supposed to be a sign of the rise of the Baiqi family. But they never thought that the emergence of the blood of gods would offend their colleagues.
The candidate's Qiuyue Sword's interests. So Qiuyue Sword had a vicious plan in mind and planned to deal with Qiu Yun.
Qiu Yue Dao's poisonous plan was accidentally learned by Qiu Chunde and his wife. They knew that within the Qiu family, Bai Qi was unable to fight against Chi Qi.
In order to save their daughter's life, Qiu Chunde and his wife had no choice but to use a secret method to temporarily seal her bloodline and secretly send her out of the secret realm, leaving her at the door of a childless scholar in Yunluo City, leaving only one child behind.
A sachet that proves one's origins and can extend one's life.
The reason why it was placed at the door of the great scholar was obviously that he did not want his daughter to embark on the path of cultivation, so as not to know the truth in the future and return to the secret realm for revenge.
