"Rebels have their own ways to rebel against thieves, and rivers and lakes also have their own rules."

Walking in the wind and snow, turning around the mountain road, a woman named Xigua spoke softly. Her hair was moving in the wind and snow, and although her appearance looked childish, her words at this time were not frivolous.

"Since we have gained a foothold in this world, our father's hatred is irreconcilable. Not just anyone can let go of it if he wants to. After I return to Miao territory, the three brothers of the Qi family, you have to keep an eye on me."

"I heard what happened tonight, and I'm very happy that we didn't start a fight." Ning Yi nodded a moment later, but sighed slightly, "What's going on with three swords and six holes?"

"The fifth brother of the Qi family is talented. He may achieve great success in the future. If he can defeat me, it would be wise not to do anything now."

There were originally five brothers in the Qi family. After the disaster, the second, third, and fifth brothers were left. The fifth brother was Qi Xinhan. Xigua paused.

"As for the three swords and six holes, the three swords and six holes will not kill you. I am personally ashamed to kill Uncle Qi. If it can be solved, I will also make a profit."

"Three swords and six holes...it doesn't look good."

"puff……"

Xigua laughed and glanced at Ning Yi. The two were walking side by side at this time. After passing through the small forest in front, when they reached the corner of the mountainside, there was already a small flat land. Normally, you could see the mountains in the distance.

The construction scene was filled with snowflakes at this time, but it was hard to see them. The pace of the two of them slowed down. Xigua casually found a fallen log and sat down.

"After I return to Miao territory, you should take Sister Lu with you, or Chen Fan, or Zhu Biao. With them here, even if Monk Lin comes, they won't be able to hurt you. You have offended many people, and now you are rebelling.

Don't make mistakes. You've always been bad at martial arts, and you can't become a first-rate master. Don't bother with these things."

"You always say that I can't become a first-class master. I think I am already one." Ning Yi sat down next to her. "When Hong Ti said this, I thought about it later and it was because her definition of a master was too high. In the end, you also

Put it this way...don't forget that I knocked Tong Guan down with just one slap in the Jinluan Palace."

"You use power to overwhelm others, and it has little to do with martial arts." Xigua smiled. "Being in a high position, fighting with life, being angry and righteous, these are all power. You are very powerful when you can overwhelm those powerful officials in the Jinluan Palace.

, it’s also because you go all out and leave no room for anything. You can’t go all out every time. Your strength is not used for fighting. Just let people who can fight hard do it.”

The dispute between her and Ning Yi did not last for a day or two. In the past few months, they had often talked and bickered together. But at this moment, when the snow was flying and the world was lonely, the two of them were sitting on this wood together. She seemed to feel that

I was a little embarrassed. I jumped out, walked forward, and punched him.

"After I leave, Zhuo Xiaofeng and the others will stay with you."

She punched once, ran for two steps, and punched twice again.

"They are the disciples you taught originally. You can teach them for a few more years and see what achievements they have. They have already been exposed to a lot of things when they were in Miao territory, and they should be able to help you."

Xigua's figure is not tall, and with her childish face, she even looks petite. When she said a few words, her voice was not high. After finishing speaking, she stopped again, glanced at Ning Yi, and saw that Ning Yi seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The ground didn't move. Then he turned his head again and slowly pushed out the fist wind.

"A few years ago in Hangzhou, you learned a few swordsmanship skills. Sister Lu taught you the breaking of six paths. It is indeed a good way to exert force, but breaking of six paths is so strong that it hurts the body. I need to help you with your recovery, sister Lu.

She had a way, but my body shape was originally not suitable for using the Ba Dao. Although I found a way later, my father also taught me a set of boxing techniques. This boxing technique is only for cultivating Qi. It was specially modified for me. Others

No. It’s only in the past few years that I’ve been able to understand it and teach it to others. I practice it every day, you can take a look.”

"Back in Hangzhou, Lan Huandong also had some clues about the democracy you talked about. You also killed the emperor and wanted to establish a foothold in the northwest, so go to the northwest. But with the current situation, if you can't stand it, you can also go south.

.I... also hope you can go to Lan Huandong to have a look. There are some things that I can't think of, so you have to help me."

As she spoke, in the wind and snow, her body punched from slow to fast, hitting, swinging, smashing, hitting, knee-bumping, elbow-bumping, jumping, and gradually her fists danced like a wheel, like the Thousand-Armed Xiao Ming Wang

.This boxing technique called Little King Kong Lianquan has been seen by Ning Yi for a long time. When she competed with the three brothers of the Qi family, one against three, she suddenly made a sudden advance. At this time, during the exercise, she could only see the wind of the fist but not the strength, and the figure fell into her eyes.

But it looks a bit cute, just like the continuous dance of this cute girl. Only the falling snowflakes rise in the air, float, gather and disperse, conflict, and make a whistling sound.

The range of each punch was short, but her body shape was advancing and her Qi pulse was long, so that her voice seemed light and calm from beginning to end. Her punches were getting faster and faster, but her words remained unchanged at all.

However, in the past six months, she has always been used to finding trouble and quarreling with Ning Yi. At this time, thinking about leaving, her words calmed down for the first time. The anxiety in her heart became faster and faster with the punches.

, revealed.

"...You are twenty-three years old, right?"

"...Since the Holy Duke's uprising, here...uh..."

Xigua was talking in her mouth, and the little diamond punch in her hand was still punching faster and faster. When she heard Ning Yi's sudden question, the movements and words of her hand suddenly stopped. At this time, she slightly bent her fist,

He stretched his fist diagonally forward, his expression froze, his little fist shook in the air, and then he stood up straight: "What does it have to do with you?"

"How many years have we been married?" Ning Yi walked down from the wood.

"Does that... of us count as a marriage?"

"It's been so many years, I guess."

She originally set her posture and continued to punch. After hearing this, she stopped again, put down her fists, and stood there.

"It's not that no one has gotten married in the past few years, it's just that I have never let go of Lan Huandong's matter. You...your wives and children are almost growing up. Between me...between me...

…”

Without her fist, the wind and snow returned to the original falling scene. Her words became slightly stiff at this time, and her body was also stiff. She stood upright like that, with her fists clenched by her sides, slightly

Head tilt.

As Ning Yi said, she is twenty-three years old. In this era, she is not even an old girl. She can only be said to be an age that no one wants. And even at this age, in the past years,

Except for the time after being betrayed by him, the twenty-three-year-old had never even received a stiff hug in the wind and snow...

The snowflakes fell, and she stood there, watching Ning Yi come over. She was about to leave. In such a wind and snow, something might happen.

At least... there should be a stiff hug...

In the courtyard room halfway up the mountain, the oil lamp was still on slightly. In the light, Su Tan'er looked through the accounting records in her hands. When she turned around, Xiaochan and Ning Xi were already asleep on the bed not far away.

She looked towards the window lattice again. Although she couldn't see the situation outside through the thick window paper, she could still hear the sound of the wind and snow getting louder.

He probably wouldn't come back to rest on a night like this.

She thought like this, then tilted her head and smiled slightly. At some point, the figure in the room blew out the lights and went to bed to rest.

The wind and snow surrounded the world again.

******************

After a cold winter night, in the early morning, the snow began to float peacefully in the sky, and the whole world gradually became covered with silver, replacing the desolate colors of late autumn.

When Shishi woke up in the morning, her head felt a little groggy, so Duan Su'e came over to take care of her and cooked porridge and rice for her. Then, she boiled some medicinal herbs to keep her away from the cold.

Duan Su'e was originally the personal guard of the Lu village master. After coming to Xiaocanghe, she was placed next to her master. On one side was a mountain village woman who practiced martial arts and killed people, and on the other was a weak and melancholy oiran from the capital. But between the two of them,

There was no quarrel between them. This was because Shishi herself was quite knowledgeable and she did not want to have too much contact with the outside world after she came over. She only helped Yunzhu sort out the various ancient books and documents that had been taken from the capital.

Duan Su'e originally had a family in the mountains, but her husband died for Qingmuzhai. However, her next child has reached the age of reading and literacy. Recently, the environment in Qingmuzhai is good, which can give the children at home a chance to be literate, and they will be sensible and sensible in the future. They are women in the mountains.

My greatest hope is that I usually talk to my teacher about what is happening in the valley. In my spare time, I will come over to ask about my experience in studying.

The real courtesans of this era are the most convincing stars in future generations, and compared with the big stars, they have more inner meaning, insight, and knowledge. Duan Su'e admires her, but in her heart, she actually admires her husband even more.

A woman who can still optimistically raise a child after her death.

"I heard that the watermelon girl who came from the south last night was going to compete with the three masters of the Qi family. Everyone ran to see it. They originally thought that there would be a big fight..."

"Girl Xigua, she is young and a master-like figure. I don't know how she practiced it. Just looking at her sword-fighting skills, compared with the village master, I am afraid she is not much different. The three members of the Qi family are not far behind her.

There is a grudge, but it seems that it can’t be avenged for the time being. It’s just that the hatred between father and mother is irreconcilable, and everyone will take this matter to heart..."

"Everyone is talking about the capital right now. The city is broken, and the people inside may have a hard time. Miss Li, you don't have any relatives there."

It was only when Duan Su'e spoke occasionally that Shishi would wake up from her rigid thoughts. Naturally, she had no relatives in Beijing, but...Mother Li, the sisters in the building...what are they doing now? Such questions are her

Even if I think about it, there are some things I dare not touch.

During the first Jurchen siege, she had been helping under the city and witnessed various tragedies. The reason why she experienced such tragedies was to avoid an even more unbearable situation. But from here onwards... the hearts of ordinary people

, I’m afraid they are all difficult to think about. Those hysterical confrontations, the shouts after severed fingers and broken bodies, the wailing after suffering various injuries... What is a more tragic situation than this? Her thinking is inevitably stuck here.

die.

After so many years in Fanlou, Mother Li has always found a way, maybe she can get away with it...

However, after the destruction of Bianliang City, thousands of miles away, the women in Fanlou were indeed desperately seeking shelter, but most of the girls Li Shishi had known were among the first batch of prostitutes sent to the Jurchen military camp.

Among them. Her mother Li Yun, a very wise woman who had taken great care of her since she entered the Fan Tower, committed suicide four days ago by taking medicine along with several girls from the Fan Tower. The other women were sent to the

Behind the Jurchen military camp, dozens of the most staunch people had already been thrown out after committing suicide because they could not bear the humiliation.

She wouldn't know these things until many years later.

Snow kept falling in the valley, but some of the atmosphere in the valley, even if the teacher didn't go out much, could still feel it was changing. In the falling snow, she could occasionally hear the shouts and chants of soldiers from across the valley.

Carrying logs, rushing along the mountain road in such heavy snow, there are also groups of people shouting in unison between the warehouse and the construction site to shovel the snow path. The people passing by talk, and the spirit contained in the shouts

God, compared to a few days ago, there is an obvious difference.

This is the change brought about after the destruction of Bianliang City.

After the snow fell for two or three days, it gradually showed signs of stopping. During this period, Su Tan'er, Nie Yunzhu and others came to visit her. Most of the news Duan Su'e brought was about the Xixia troop dispatch. In order to

Discussions continued about whether to help, and then, another piece of news suddenly came.

A few days ago, the old master Zhongshi Dao, who had guarded the northwest for many years, passed away in his old house in Qingjian City.

When Shishi heard the news, he sat in shock for a long time. In the first battle to defend Bianliang, the generals guarding the city were Li Gang, the left prime minister, and the world-famous Mr. Zhong. Although Shishi and his identity were

One is in the sky and the other is in the earth, but Bianliang is able to hold on. This old man plays a pillar role to a large extent. For this old man, the teacher has great respect in his heart.
