In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice has passed, and Beishanguan has entered the coldest season of the year.
The welcoming pine tree in front of the Yunjian Inn is covered in silver and is particularly enchanting. However, the precious orchids, camellias, azaleas... that Qin Mian brought from Jiangnan Duo can only grow in her newly built house.
In the greenhouse.
These flowers and plants transplanted from Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, are not because Qin Mian is so romantic, but because the Beishan Fair, which is held every five years, is about to be held in Beishan Town.
The Beishan Meeting was a grand martial arts gathering organized by the Qin Empire in order to consolidate the border and gather people with lofty ideals to jointly fight against the Northern Kingdom. It is held every five years, and the leader of the northern martial arts alliance is recommended through a competition in the ring.
The leader of the martial arts alliance will be granted the right to act expediently by the Great Qin Empire. In times of crisis, he has the right to recruit and mobilize all major martial arts sects, including heroes from all walks of life. Anyone who dares not to be summoned will be executed by the Great Qin Empire.
This was also a sudden idea of the Prince of Qin's palace back then, and it came up with a solution that was not a solution.
Although in the eyes of some people in the world, this is just a thug and a lackey in the court. But in the eyes of the world's famous families and heroes from all walks of life, it is a rare power and wealth.
Since ancient times, power and wealth have attracted people's hearts.
Since then, the martial arts in the Central Plains have been divided into four parts of the world. The northern martial arts community has the Beishan Society as its alliance, the southern martial arts community has the Jiangnan Society as its alliance, the western martial arts community has the Xijiang Society as its alliance, and the eastern martial arts community has the Taishan Society as its alliance.
The four major alliance leaders in the world will also go to Kyoto in the spring of next year to participate in the competition between the general leaders of the world's martial arts world. The general leader of the world's martial arts alliance will be awarded the No. 1 Enkowu title by the Great Qin Empire and will be included in the list of bad guys.
Five years ago, the Tianxiahui all lost in the competition between the four major alliance leaders in the world. The northern alliance leader was captured by the Huashan faction's leader, Jun Jian Luo Yunpo, and the southern alliance leader was unexpectedly killed by the "Silver Fox" Ling Huxia, the great disciple of the Songshan faction.
, the western alliance leader was captured by the little-known Qingcheng sect saint "Xiuchundao" Ye Qiuhan, the eastern alliance leader was captured by Penglai Zhenren, and the world martial arts leader finally fell into the hands of the "Silver Fox" Linghu Xia. For a while
During this period, the martial arts community in the south became famous.
Three years ago, the "human massacre" Third Young Master of Qin suddenly appeared in the world and challenged the four major alliance leaders in the world, eight green forests and ninety-nine and eighty-one villages. Linghu Xia also unexpectedly disappeared because of this. There was no general leader in the world's martial arts world, and the southern martial arts community was eventually eliminated by the world alliance.
Qin Mian, the helmsman of Jiangnan, actually controlled it. From then on, Qin Mian, the "Snowflake Needle in Mianli", began to become famous.
And this time the appearance of the Northern Kingdom Killing Qin Meng made this martial arts conference attract special attention.
The Beishan Meeting is actually the most important event among the four major martial arts events. And there is no other one. Because it is close to Beishanguan, it is the place where the Central Plains martial arts faces the most serious provocation from the Northern Sect.
Not only that, in addition to the general leader of the world martial arts alliance who will be classified as a bad person and become a bad general, according to the convention, the leader of the northern alliance will also become a bad school captain.
Although Qin Mian was not the leader of the Southern Wulin before, he was a powerful figure in the Southern Wulin who "carried the emperor to command the princes". Otherwise, after Linghu Xia disappeared, the power that should have belonged to the Songshan Sect would not have fallen into her hands.
Perhaps it was because the Great Qin Empire saw Qin Mian's potential that Wu Qing, the military eunuch stationed at Beishanguan Pass, sent a bad order that this time the Beishan Conference would be run by the Tianxiahui, leaving the Huashan faction, the leader of the alliance, aside.
As soon as the news came out, not only the northern martial arts world was in an uproar, but other martial arts circles were also extremely shocked. The Huashan Sect, the largest sect in the north that has been inherited for hundreds of years, lost its face after Qingfeng Jian Mochen was killed at the Yunjian Inn.
He was pushed to the ground again and forcibly rubbed.
This caused the Huashan Sect, which had always been the leader of the northern martial arts world, to lose face. In anger and shame, the Huashan Sect sent Luo Xi, the leader of the Seven Heroes, the Cloud-Piercing Sword, to the Yunjian Inn to question the crime.
The assassination operation was also very popular. Moreover, the Huashan faction also knew very well that the reason why the Tianxiahui sent Qin Mian to Beishanguan to take charge of the Beishan helm was for the bad captain who was in charge of teaching the gentleman's sword to Luoyunpo.
By simply doing nothing, the Huashan sect will openly be at odds with the world.
The tense atmosphere has gradually become tense since Luo Xi, the Cloud-piercing Sword, has not yet arrived at Yunjian Inn.
In the Nuan Pavilion, the red charcoal burned red, and the embroidery needle in Qin Mian's hand shuttled over the woolen gloves under the reflection of the fire. She couldn't wait to fulfill the wish that she had not fulfilled at the beginning.
Lang Qing, the master of Shefeng Hall, stood cautiously in front of her. When he was a nobody before, Qin Mian was a famous gentle and sweet beauty in the helm, and all men coveted her.
But since he became the master of the hall, he suddenly became one of Beichuan Helm's masters. Only then did he realize that this woman is the most unpredictable and fickle animal in the world. He reminded himself from time to time, thousands and thousands of times
Don't be fooled by her soft and deceptive appearance.
In just a few days, Wei Yan, the head of the Internal Affairs Hall who was always valued by her and was known as the "caring Douban", suffered a lot of losses due to poor preparations for the Beishan meeting. Under her thunderous kindness,
A good player, he himself was beaten to death by her. Song Yi, the leader of the Juxian Hall, and Nie Yuan, the leader of the Hidden Knife Hall, were originally famous heroes in the northern green forest. Song Yi was the chief escort of the Longwei Escort Bureau.
, and Nie Yuan is the general leader of the Eighteen Villages in the Northern Green Forest. Now when he sees her, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, and he doesn't even dare to show his anger.
"Tell me, what kind of conspiracy does this old guy Luo Yunpo have?" Qin Mian glanced at Lang Qing and said with some dissatisfaction. In recent days, there has been a lot of movement in the Huashan Sect. However, as the head of the intelligence hall, Shefeng Hall
She actually had no idea about the whereabouts of alliance leader Luo Yunpo. This made her extremely angry.
"Don't tell me the reasons yet, I just want to hear the results." Before Lang Qing reported, Qin Mian said bitterly again.
Lang Qing suddenly broke out in sweat on his forehead.
"Reporting to the helmsman, Shefengtang has deeply reflected on and investigated the outstanding problems that existed in the previous stage, and after careful rectification and redeployment. At present, Shefengtang's Diewu has penetrated into the Huashan Sect. The news just received, Luo Yun
Po will arrive in Beishan Town on the day of the conference and will settle in Xiaoyaoju, the Huashan sect's residence in Beishan Town. During this period, Luo Yunpo will invite the leader of the Kongtong sect, Iron Palm Madman Mo Gao, and the leader of the Shanhai Alliance, Desperate Saburo Chen San.
The president of the Little Sword Society, Mo Gong, the master of the Nine Gorges Cave, the immortal hand Lu Da, and the iron-skinned Liuhua Jiang Kun will discuss martial arts in Huashan. They will also bring Qingcheng, the great disciple of the Kongtong Sect, and Shaoyang, one of the Seven Heroes of the Huashan Sect, to
Jianyangchun marriage..."
After listening to his report, Qin Mian said without comment, "Lang Qing, you are the least qualified among the four major halls in terms of qualifications, but why did I hand over the Shelter to you? You should understand that what I value is your character and spirituality. I
I want to remind you that as the old saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, but justice does not control wealth. You should understand it yourself. When you understand it, you will be a qualified hall leader.
"I understand." Lang Qing trembled and quickly said.
"This old guy Luo Yunpo has a lot of tricks. We must pay close attention to it. After coming down, you immediately discuss with the Juxian Hall and the Cangdao Hall and quickly come up with countermeasures. First, I don't want to go to a wedding banquet.
I don’t want to follow this person; secondly, don’t they want to argue with martial arts? Let’s give them a chance. But the location and time have to be changed. The location will be changed to Beishan Town, and the time will start the competition in advance. Anyway, the competition is held every year.
The time of the competition is determined by the organizer, and we are not violating the rules. However, the time of the competition is still according to the old rules, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Thirdly, the Northern Sect should not be underestimated, especially those brats.
Every one of them counts, kill them!"
Lang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and bowed again, saying, "My subordinates will do it now."
Before he could reach the door, Qin Mian put down the embroidery needle in his hand, coughed lightly and asked, "Where did Luo Xi, the Cloud-breaking Sword, go?"
Lang Qing quickly replied, Guiyunpo.
Qin Mian thought for a while, then sneered and said, What a great place. You don't have to worry about this. I'll let Ah Feng go.
"Ah, Master Feng? But he is not a member of our world! Is it suitable?"
Qin Mian laughed and said, "Why is it inappropriate? If my man, Qin Mian, takes action, what opinion can the Presbyterian Council have?"
"But... the Presbyterian Church has assigned you a marriage contract!"
Qin Mian looked coldly and said, "How can I, Qin Mian, get those old guys to give me advice on my marriage? Go and do the things in your hands well. If you can't do it, you will be punished with your head. This Beishan meeting is a great opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves."
Opportunity, Northern Alliance Leader, we are bound to win it. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless!
After saying that, the embroidery needle in her hand popped out, and with a bang, the door behind Lang Qing exploded.
Lang Qing's soul was shocked, her skills became even more powerful.
Behind the screen, Qin Feng was also surprised and asked, "Why are you so powerful?"
Qin Mian picked up the newly knitted gloves, happily walked to him and put them on for him. "How about giving it a try?"
Qin Feng's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he replied gently, "What you did is naturally good."
"loquacious!"
"I have not been by your side these years, and I owe you a lot." Qin Mian held his hand and said with a sincere expression.
Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "The world is like this, destiny is like this, what can I do about it? It's not your fault, nor my mother's fault. Now that you are by my side, I no longer dare to ask for anything else."
Qin Mian was surprised and said, have you figured it out?
"So what if I don't want to understand. After all, she gave birth to and raised us for so many years. She must have her reasons for doing that."
"There must be some unspeakable secret that she has no choice but to hide. Otherwise she will never abandon you. It's best if you can figure it out. The reason why I have been staying in Tianxiahui is that I want to be able to take charge of Tianxiahui one day and use Tianxiahui to help me."
force to find her."
"I'll look for it with you from now on."
"good!"
The minds of the boy and girl were tightly pulled together. There was a warm smile in the two fiery eyes.
"Cough cough cough" Qin Feng suddenly coughed several times.
Qin Mian quickly put his hand on his forehead and asked with concern, "Do you have a cold?"
"No way."
Qin Feng grabbed her hand and concealed it, "It has not been easy for you to be in the world these years. I have made it difficult for you."
"It's not that easy to survive." Qin Mian sighed.
"Tianxiahui really assigned you a marriage contract?" Qin Feng asked suddenly.
The smile on Qin Mian's face suddenly stopped. She had thought about it many times, trying to find a chance to explain it to him clearly. But when the words came to her lips, she could never say them out. She was afraid that she would hurt him.
"You want to know?"
Qin Feng nodded heavily.
Qin Mian stood up, walked to the window, opened it, faced the cold wind outside, smoothed his bangs on his forehead, and sighed quietly, you should have heard it just now. This is what happened. The Presbyterian Council has always thought
They had me in their hands, but they felt that I was an immature wolf. Therefore, for the great cause of the Tianxiahui, they came up with the idea of marriage.
"Who is it?"
Qin Feng wanted to know who his love rival was and quickly asked.
Qin Mian turned around and asked in confusion, "It's important? You must know?"
"It's very important, you must know." Qin Feng gritted his teeth.
"Maybe this is a common problem among you men." Qin Mian sighed lonely, but quickly went on to say that his name is Cao Shan, he is the former general leader of the Tianxiahui, and he was born in Penglai Pavilion on Penglai Island in the Eastern Wulin. He is also known as "
"Ghost Hand" is now a bad general of bad people. Currently, he is in Kyoto. I have never seen him. But I heard from people in the Presbyterian Church that this person has a very deep background. Rumor has it that he is someone outside the court.
illegitimate child.
"Okay, I'll kill him for you!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth, pouted, and cut the ironwork.
"Okay, if you have a chance to go to Kyoto, go and kill him."
Qin Mian shook his long hair and turned around with a smile on his face.
"Okay. Now I'll go to Guiyunpo and kill this eyesore first." Qin Feng stood up and walked straight to the door.
Qin Mian quickly stopped him, "No, you are not going to kill him."
"What do you mean?" Qin Feng stopped immediately, looking puzzled.
Qin Mian walked to him, picked up a cloak and scarf from the hanger, put the cloak on him, put the scarf around his neck, shook his clothes a few times, and then attached his ears.
He exhaled softly and said, "I want you not to take action until the last moment. I want you to save him."
"Not killing people, but saving people? You, what are you planning on doing?" Qin Feng frowned slightly. He had always killed people, and this was his first time saving people.
"My mother said that fortresses can be breached from within the enemy. I want to give it a try. The news I got is that Poyunjian and Qingcheng have had an affair for a long time. But the Kongtong faction chose Yangchun. Don't you think
Is it weird?"
"You mean someone wants to use our hands to get rid of him?" Qin Feng's eyes widened in surprise, and soon there was a bit of ridicule on the corner of his mouth.
"That's right. I guess someone has laid out the plan a long time ago. Even if we don't take action, they will put the blame on us and reap the benefits."
Qin Feng understood, but he felt that these old guys were too shameless. "Isn't it better to be honest? Why do you need to play so many conspiracies?"
Seeing that he understood, Qin Mian warned him solemnly, "Be careful, don't capsize in the gutter. These people are very powerful."
"I understand. I, Xiao Li Fei Dao, am not a vegetarian either."
Qin Feng didn't even turn his head and waved his hands.
Seeing him walking downstairs, Qin Mian sighed and said, "Actually, I don't want you to go. But I am really short of manpower. I can only take the trouble for you to go."
She then whispered, "Since Rentu recognizes you as his brother, I'm afraid I've taught you a few tricks to get under the box. With the skills of the Cloud Pouring Sword, you might have a chance of winning. But it's always easier to save people than kill them."
Soon, she stamped her feet again and asked, "What do these old guys from the Presbyterian Church mean? Why are they still missing? Do you want to see my mother's joke?"
When she thought of this, she quickly called Nie Yuan, the master of the Hidden Sword Hall.
Nie Yuan is from the north. He is over forty years old, but he has a baby face, is tall, looks very majestic, and speaks with great momentum. When he saw Qin Mian, he lowered his eyebrows and bowed his hands.
,Helmsman, are you looking for me?
"Guiyunpo, please send more manpower and show off. My wife will dig out the fisher even if she digs it three feet."
Nie Yuan thought for a while and said, then I will take someone with me?
"No, just send a few reliable ones. You still have to stay. We still have a big show here that hasn't started yet."
Qin Mian waved his hand.
For the Huashan faction, the best shortcut is to find someone to kill her directly. As long as she dies, the alliance leader's affairs will be a certainty.
