.

Liu Wujin, Zhu Mengchang, and Lu Cheng returned to Xingzhou at the same time. Unlike Liu Wujin, who had a daughter to reunite with, and Zhu Mengchang, who had a lovely wife waiting for him, Lu Cheng found it meaningless to come back. He couldn't explain why.

A lonely man. Ordinarily, he should be happy to see his parents, but Lu Cheng always felt empty in his heart - maybe because Yang Miaozhen's smile was missing...

Unknowingly, I came to Fan Tieqiao's station. He was once one of the seven leaders of the Short Knife Valley. He originally had no martial arts skills and only had iron teeth and bronze teeth. In recent years, due to his old age and illness, he had to reduce the number of his soldiers.

Everything was handed over to the neighboring Song Heng to take over. Fan Tieqiao was happy with his leisure time. When he was young, he joined the army. When he was old, he looked for happiness and opened a small teahouse somewhere on the mountainside, where people who walked to the West Valley could rest.

Exchange. In the blink of an eye, the teahouse has been open for several years.

The first time Lu Cheng came out of the valley when he was a child, he went to Dali with Uncle Fan to look for the Drinking Hate Knife. The old and young had a great relationship, so they found this place the day after they came back. At that time, Fan Tieqiao was still busy, so Lu Cheng first met the waiter

During the conversation, according to the waiter, this teahouse usually does not have many customers, and most of them are people coming from the horse racing track. The generals don't come often because they like to drink.

However, Lu Cheng found it very strange that after he had just said a few words, he saw many soldiers running towards the south mountain one after another, and they seemed to be sneaking around. It was definitely not that there were not many tourists, and they didn't look like they were coming from the horse race track...

...At this time, Fan Tieqiao came to pour him tea after finishing his work and said, "Lu Cheng, are you back?" Lu Cheng couldn't help being surprised and asked, "Uncle Fan, why are they sneaking to the south mountain?" Lu Cheng

In my memory, there is no good scenery in the mountains to the south. Even if you go over the mountains, there is only one east-west river that can bisect the short sword valley, the Yueming River.

"Oh, they want to go back to their base - they are all soldiers of Baili Sheng, and Ze Ye has been training on his behalf in recent years." Fan Tieqiao explained. Baili Sheng Han Ze Ye is separated from Song Heng Fan Tieqiao

Facing each other across the river, there is no traffic until near Tingyuexuan at Xucongrong Fengming Stream in the east.

"It's strange..." Lu Cheng felt even more strange, "If you want to go back to Bailijia Station, shouldn't you go down the mountain from the east road first... If you just go over the mountain like this, there will be Yueming River blocking it in the south, but

How to get across, ford the water?" There has never been a bridge, so it is so troublesome. Because several of them have collapsed before, Lin Chujiang, Xu Yuan and others judged it to be unsuitable.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Jiajun, Xiao Xie, Yang Tian and Chen Guo Zhugu are also located in the north and south of the Yueming River. However, their families have extremely convenient transportation. Traveling to and from Jialangding and Qingfengpu is completely effortless.

Strength, Lin Qian and Yin'er once watched Luo Qingyi dance the sword on Changping Road by the river. On the day of Zhu Mengchang's wedding, they also trotted Luo Qingwu back home... But the trouble in the West Valley was so great that during the Civil War in Northern Sichuan, the Song Dynasty

Heng cannot control Hanze Ye as smoothly as Baili Sheng. Of course, everything is in the past

Fan Tieqiao hissed: "Keep it down... We originally wanted to go down the mountain from the east, but it's inconvenient. After we get down from the mountain, we have to go through a bumpy road and then climb up the opposite mountain. Suo Chang said that he had studied

The shortest distance between Bailisheng and my station is actually a bridge that can be hung across the Ming River, which will facilitate communication between the two mountains. And there is no need to go over the mountain, it is just above Nanshan. Everyone calls this bridge.

"Quickly cross the bridge," how about it, is it appropriate?" Fan Tieqiao smiled kindly.

The Suochang mentioned by Fan Tieqiao is Xu Suochang, the son of Lin Qian's elder brother Xu Congrong. Lu Cheng, Liu Wenyin, and Baili Piaoyun are all about the same age, and they all belong to the next generation of the Short Knife Valley. Speaking of which, Lu

The reason why Cheng fought so hard was because Wen Yin Piaoyun was so powerful, but the reason why Lu Cheng could occasionally breathe a sigh of relief was because Xu Suochang was at the bottom——

Xu Suochang is the most typical incompetent person in the Short Sword Valley. He is not good at studying literature and is half-assed in martial arts. Therefore, Xu Congrong was cruel and sent his son to the Minshan School to learn swordsmanship at a very young age. "If you fail to learn, you will not be allowed to come back." As a result, Xu Suochang

Now that I'm back, have I completed my studies or can I really not force myself? It can be inferred...

Lu Cheng didn't have time to ask Xu Suochang about it, but his expression changed: "The suspension bridge...? This, how is this possible... Didn't Tianjiao once say that there is no suitable suspension bridge between these two mountains...? Also, Uncle Shi, he

Do you know? He will definitely prohibit such a dangerous thing!" Lu Cheng thought of Shi Zhongyong's selfless face, and even Lin Qian was afraid of it. As the law enforcer of internal affairs in the valley, he has always been upright.

"So we have to be sneaky." Fan Tieqiao said softly, "Lu Cheng, don't tell Shi Zhongyong to go. In fact, he is too rigid about some things. Just because the bridge collapsed before, doesn't mean it will collapse in the future, right? There can't be traffic elsewhere.

No...I've been to see Kuailiu Bridge, hey, it's really good..."

Of course Lu Cheng would not betray his brother, so he nodded and said, "I won't tell Uncle Shi." He sat down to drink some tea and chatted a little about Suochang. At that moment, a girl carrying a sword walked in outside the teahouse.

It was getting dark as evening approached, and only the figure and outline could be seen. What caught Lu Cheng's attention was that the sword she carried on her back was much longer than her upper body, and was more than half a head taller. It probably wasn't her own...

I couldn't help but secretly take a look at her through the light. She was just a little girl of about ten years old. She had a slender figure. Although she was not yet mature, she was stunning at first sight. She was definitely a beauty, with oval face and pink cheeks.

, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, her starry eyes are like waves, but there seems to be a hint of resentment in her face, which is so charming that it makes people want to protect her just by looking at her. Lu Cheng thought to himself, just from the appearance and temperament, this woman is like that

A cute, quiet and introverted little girl who needs protection...

But as soon as the girl opened her mouth, Lu Cheng was almost dumbfounded. Facts and imagination were completely different -

"Boss, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Where is the resentment that Lu Cheng just noticed?

"I'm sorry, girl, we are a teahouse and there is no food supply." Fan Tieqiao said.

"That's not right. Even if it's a teahouse, don't you guys who run the shop not eat? Boss, bring some out! I have money." Well, this girl can't speak. As soon as she opens her mouth, she brings out the stupidity in her gestures and directly touches the beauty's face.

The temperament was destroyed.

The girl took out the coins from the bag. Lu Cheng, holding back his laughter, looked back and heard the girl yell, "Oh no, I dropped the coins!"

Lu Cheng was attracted again and saw the girl lying directly on the ground, her arms groping between the shopkeeper's table and the wall, "What should I do, what should I do..."

A series of actions really shocked Lu Cheng... How could such a weak and pitiful appearance have such a strange personality...

The girl couldn't reach it with her arms, so she jumped up and said, "Shopkeeper, help me touch it!"

She turned around and saw Lu Cheng: "You, come and help me find it! Oh, pity my ill-fated copper!"

Lu Cheng also listened to her words for some reason and hurriedly helped to find the copper plate until it was all disheveled. The copper plate was still stuck somewhere. Lu Cheng said, "Girl, don't you have other copper plates? Forget this one."

The girl said, if that doesn't work, she must pick up the copper plate.

Lu Cheng wanted to move Fan Tieqiao's table, but he didn't know how many things the old man put on the table. It was not that he didn't have the strength to move it for a while, but he was afraid of breaking his important things. Fan Tieqiao said, can you just not take the girl's money? Don't put it there.

My things were broken! The girl was stunned and said that it had nothing to do with money, and that the copper coins were necessary for daily life. Just a moment later, the teahouse became noisy.

Suddenly a rich and familiar voice sounded: "What are you doing again?"

Lu Cheng stood up in surprise, and saw that the man who had come in the dust turned out to be Cao Xuan, the leader of the army. In the past, he was the only one who survived "Cao Fansu Gu". Now he and Wu Xi's cronies are in charge of the Donggu army, but all of them

In awe of Lin Qian and Xu Yuan. When Lin and Xu were away, Cao Xuan and Feng Mingjian were on an equal footing, and they conspired together to plan major external affairs in the Short Blade Valley. Lu Cheng was stunned, not only in awe of Cao Xuan's leadership qualities, but also thinking about how he got there.

Coming here?

"The copper plate is stuck inside..." The girl stuck out her tongue playfully. Cao Xuan shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed it gently. The shopkeeper's table seemed to be motionless, and the copper plate immediately rolled out, and everything on Fan Tieqiao's table was intact.

Without any damage, Lu Cheng was stunned by the effort of this moment. The girl smiled broadly, rushed forward to pick up the copper plate, got up and ran directly to Cao Xuan.

Lu Cheng was startled for a moment, then startled, and then she was shocked. It turned out that she knew Cao Xuan? Apparently, the relationship was not simple! Looking back at Cao Xuan, he was usually serious and solemn, but at this time, his face was rarely gentle and kind: "It's better than the agreement."

You are one day late, where did you go and what did you do?"

The girl stuck out her tongue, groped through the bag for a long time, scratched her head and ears for a long time, and then kept saying "Hey": "I obviously bought a big ox that looks very similar to you, why is it missing...

"

In the mouth of this girl, Cao Xuan's usual majesty and strangeness were wiped away, replaced by the kindness of the big brother next door. However, Cao Xuan was a little embarrassed and coughed: "You go and settle down with me first."

The girl found the cow in a timely manner, wiped her sweat and handed it to him: "I found it! Does it look like it?"

Cao Xuan took it helplessly, and then held her hand: "It's getting dark, come back to Donggu with me first." He turned to Fan Tieqiao: "I'm sorry, Master Fan, for causing you trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's Mu Han. Why do you look so familiar to me? We haven't seen each other for only two years, but we have changed so much," Fan Tieqiao said.

"No! She has become a heroine! A heroine from the Minshan Sect in Western Sichuan!" Mu Han followed Cao Xuan with a smile.

"Mu Han...?" Lu Cheng muttered this name, which was so familiar, "Uncle Fan, who is she?"

"Su Jiangxue's little daughter, Su Muhan." Fan Tieqiao said.

"Ah——!" Lu Cheng was dumbfounded. Although he didn't have a deep impression of Su Muran, he at least knew that Su Muran was a woman who was as charming and confusing as a fairy... Why are my younger sister and older sister so different!? When I think about it, they are indeed about the same age. The Su family last year

After the destruction, when the lord sent Su Muhan and others back to the Short Knife Valley to be taken care of by Cao Xuan, he happened to be about eight years old. Thinking about his first-class appearance, he felt relieved.

Let the dragon have nine sons... Lu Cheng sighed. At that time, he thought that "the Su family was destroyed", but who knew that there were still remnants of the gang? Su Muran gave her own life in exchange for the miserable existence of Gu Zhen, Su Muyan, Su Muzi and others. Now Gu

Zhen Su Muyan and others had died in Shandong, but Su Muzi, who had disappeared at the beginning, managed to make a comeback in Lintao with some of the remnants... The endless remnants of the gang would cause endless waves.

The return of the generals from the expedition and Dr. Fanjing brought many heroic deeds of Shandong generals. Soon all the people and things were spread between the East Valley and the West Valley - in fact, they brought back many legends, but Song Hengman

Yang Songxian's ears are all his, there is no way, the more you care about someone, the more you listen to someone, and then you will become more unhappy with someone.

"But it was said that a large army had emerged from the sloping road, and leading the way was a handsome swordsman with a jade face and thin lips. Liang Jin Shu Qiankun was startled. When he saw the flag covering the sky, there was only the word "Yang" surrounding him from all directions. Shu Qiankun was shocked. Jin Jun

In the chaos, Liang Jin just turned around and saw a flash of cold light. Before he understood what was going on, he was stabbed off his horse with a sword. From then on, Qingzhai followed Xiaquanzhai and surrendered..."

The deeds of the Allied forces fighting against the Twelve Souls in places such as Qing, Wei Erzhou and Yimeng have been rumored and falsely spread in various ways. However, although the story may be false, the credit cannot be false——

Yang Songxian helped Lin Qian conquer Xia Quan and Shi Qing in Yimeng, fought fiercely with Shao Hongyuan, Sima Long, Gao Fenglei and other masters in Tai'an. In the twelfth month, after Yang An's rebellion, he lurked in Feng Zhangzhuang and waited for opportunities to subvert, which won Lin Qian the most important turnaround in the southern battlefield at that time.

, and finally allowed Yang An to successfully return to the Red Coat Village, and fought several battles, all of them killing and galloping in the place closest to Lin Qian... The countless achievements he made in just one year were beyond the reach of Song Heng, who had been stationed in the Short Knife Valley for a year.

Although, a year ago, Yang Songxian was ridiculed by Song Heng, saying that he was hiding behind the scenes, had no achievements, and was irresponsible.

A year later, who is laughing at Song Heng still clinging to his old achievements of defeating the feudal lords the year before?

I can only say one sentence after listening to each story, "This battle in Shandong was fought by me, Song Heng, for him, Yang Songxian."

Why let Yang Songxian fight? "Because the trouble happened in his Shandong province."

"If I, the Jade Dragon Sword, were here, would I still kill Liang Jin, who is not the only one with twelve souls? I would definitely teach that Shu Qiankun to have his head removed. The Lord and the Prodigy would not have to work so hard."

It happened that some people believed Song Heng's bragging, such as Cao Xuan's adopted daughter Su Muhan. She often came to Xigu recently to play with Yang Ruoxi and others who were similar in age. When she heard these words, she would sincerely admire her and said to Song Heng,

"My adoptive father often said that Song Heng of the Jade Dragon Sword was an unparalleled hero, but it was a pity that he could not go to Shandong to make contributions. It turns out that you are him. I have admired him for a long time!"

"Haha, did General Cao talk about me too?" Song Heng happily touched the back of his head, with an expression on his face that said, "How can I be embarrassed to say that?" His heart was as sweet as drinking honey. His mental age is also older than that of the girls.

He was four or five years older, so he became familiar with Su Muhan and the others not long after.

Not long after Shi Linqian returned to Longshan to put down the rebellion, Yue Feng had to take charge of northern Shaanxi, and Lintao was facing a shortage of experts. Therefore, the generals speculated that Song Heng might be transferred to the front line. Song Heng counted, Tianjiao was seriously injured, and Han Zeye

His illness sometimes relapsed and sometimes stabilized. The one with the highest martial arts skills among the Northern Sichuan Rebels was none other than himself... While he was happy, he tried his best to show off in front of Feng Mingjian. He also often patted his chest and boasted to Su Muhan that I was going to Longshan to make contributions.

My lord said that I am indispensable. Please remember to come and see me on the day of the expedition.
To be continued...
