After communicating with Li Qingcheng last night, Xiao Jinyan felt more and more that someone deliberately did this Jin Kuang battle.

He had a doubt, and this doubt was probably only clear to the person involved.

It is not a very polite thing to ask the parties involved.

It is extremely dangerous to ask a person who has higher martial arts skills than you.

Xiao Jinyan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm here, I have a question, I want to ask you."

“It’s very important?”

“It’s very important.”

Li Qiuyi had finished wiping the scabbard and hung it on the wall. Then he took out a jar of Chishui wine from the wine cellar, poured out a cup, and handed it to Xiao Jinyan. Xiao Jinyan took a sip and said, "How could it smell sour and bitter?"

Li Qiuyi said, "This glass is the authentic Chishui wine. But if you drink this kind of wine, you will lose one cup."

The wine enters the stomach and produces a warm feeling.

After the sourness and bitterness, a sweet smell began to appear on the tongue coating, which made people feel salivation in their mouths.

Xiao Jinyan praised, "My Wine!"

Li Qiuyi said, "Yinyang City is windy and sandy, mostly a saline-alkali land. When autumn comes, the sky is full of wind and sand covering the sun. The Chishui River extending from Hengduan Mountain and the Chishui wine brewed from nine steamed nine times have this taste."

He looked at the place where Yin Yang was and left his hometown for twenty years. He rarely recalled the past, as if he had forgotten his hometown. However, a glass of Chishui wine evoked endless homesickness.

Li Qiuyi said again, "The 100-mile mudflat in the north of the city is covered with alkaline weeds. After the frost falls, it is connected to the sky and the earth is spread on the river beach, like a red carpet. The whole earth is burning, which is spectacular. If you have the chance, be sure to go and take a look."

Xiao Jinyan nodded.

"What are you asking?"

Only then did Xiao Jinyan have the opportunity to speak, "There are rumors in the world that your grudge against Chu Kuangdao is because you seduced his wife. Is it true?"

Li Qiuyi frowned and laughed in silence, "Do you believe it?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. Rumors are everywhere in the world, but you are unwilling to come out to explain."

Li Qiuyi laughed, "I didn't live for them. My mouth is on their mouth. I say whatever I like, but don't fall into my ears, otherwise I will make him regret being a human being."

"I need the truth!"

Li Qiuyi said lightly: "The truth is that Chu Kuangdao and I have been plotted against."

Li Qiuyi poured two more glasses of wine and told the story of the past. Yinyang City is located in the western front of the Ming Dynasty and is an important transportation fortress connecting the Ming, Chu and the Western Regions.

Five hundred years ago, at the end of the 72 princes' war, the world was divided into three parts. The nineteen cities on the western front with Yinyang City as the center became a force independent of the Three Kingdoms. The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, connecting the three kingdoms of Ming Chu and Zhou, and is a typical three-in-one place.

Yinyang City stands on Hengduan Mountain. To the east of the mountain are wetlands and tidal flats, and to the west are yellow sand in the desert. It is impossible to grow crops here, nor can cattle and horses be grazed. However, the unique environment makes it a major trading city on the border of the Three Kingdoms.

Twenty years ago, the battle between the Ming Dynasty and Western Chu became fierce, and the stalemate lasted for more than two years on the Western Front.

Li Qiuyi was the lord of Yinyang City when he was in the war. He maintained a neutral position and earned a large amount of silver from the two countries. At that time, the Ming army wanted to use Yinyang City to attack the eastern border of Western Chu, so why didn't Li Qiuyi know that this was a false strategy to attack Guo?

With Yuwen Tianlu's ambition, if the Ming Dynasty's Sun, Moon, and Green Dragon Flag were inserted into the Western Chu Palace, the Yinyang Nineteen City would not be able to escape the fate of falling into the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Western Expedition Army was stationed outside Yinyang City for three months.

Li Qiuyi is the King of Golden Swords, so he naturally would not be afraid of Yuwen Tianlu.

But Li Qiuyi is the lord of Yinyang City, so he has to consider the 100,000 troops under Yuwen Tianlu.

At this time, Li Qiuyi received an invitation from the Chu Palace to attend the 60th birthday of the Emperor of Chu. Of course, this is just an excuse, and the Chu State does not want to borrow Yinyang City.

There are three princes in Chu State. The eldest prince Chu Hao is obsessed with swordsmanship and has no intention of participating in politics. The second prince Chu Bieli is a war-oriented faction. He hates the Han people and advocates the preservation of nomadic culture. He is very popular among the nobles of Chu State. This person is also Li Qiuyi's best friend. The third prince Chu Bieli is a peace-oriented faction and has received the support of the upstart forces of Chu State.

At the night banquet in the palace, Li Qiuyi was treated like a guest of honor from a friendly country. All the guests took the initiative to toast him. At that time, he was generous and refused everyone, and was drunk.

When he woke up, Li Qiuyi found that he was sleeping under the soft collapse, with a beautiful woman next to him. This person was the wife of the princess and the eldest prince Chu Hao.

When Chu Hao learned about this, he was furious and wanted to make a duel with Li Qiuyi. Li Qiuyi was arrogant and could he explain? The two made an appointment to duel outside Yinyang City one month later.

The day of the decisive battle is on the ninth day of the ninth month.

As two of the most famous masters of swordsmanship in the world, Li Qiuyi has long been famous. Chu Hao is a rising star. He has practiced the Crazy Sword Mind Technique to the seventh level. The battle between the two attracted countless masters to watch the battle.

Yuwen Tianlu ordered the Western Expedition Army to retreat three times to show his respect.

On the first day, the two competed in swordsmanship. They fought outside Yinyang City for a day and night. The sky and earth changed color, and yellow sand filled the sky. The sound of swords and swords could be heard throughout Yinyang City, and the winner was not decided.

On the second day, the two competed for internal strength. The two masters of the Elephant Realm fought happily. A 100-meter-high mound outside the city was cut by the sword. The winner was not decided.

On the third day, news came from the State of Chu that the Emperor of Chu was assassinated, the whereabouts of the second prince Chu Bieli were unknown, Chu Hao's mind was already in chaos, and his sword skills were assassinated, forcing Li Qiuyi into a desperate situation.

At this moment, Li Qiuyi realized the way of the golden sword, entered the Datong Xiang Realm, and asked with a golden sword, seriously hurting Chu Hao. If he hadn't been merciful, Chu Hao would have died. However, this sword disfigured Chu Hao, leaving a long scar.

Li Qiuyi, the lord of Yinyang City, was named king in one battle.

Chu Hao returned to Chu State, killed his wife, was heartless and unscrupulous, practiced the Crazy Sword Mind, and changed his name to Chu Ritian. For twenty years, he was determined to seek revenge on Li Qiuyi.

After Chu Qiu ascended the throne, he negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty and cedeed the three counties in the western border to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Yinyang City also became the Ming Dynasty's central city.

Three months later, Li Qiuyi led the 19 cities in Yinyang to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. He refused the Ming Dynasty's reward, left with a knife, and lived in seclusion outside Suzhou City.

This story is almost the same as what Jia Fuzi told, but it feels more vicissitudes from Li Qiuyi's mouth.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Li Qiuyi and had fought countless lawsuits with him over the years. Judging from his appearance, words and deeds alone, he could not associate the old man selling wine in front of him with the powerful sword king who was in power.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "You haven't thought about going back to Yinyang City to take a look?"

Li Qiuyi said with a little bit of blame, "At that time, many elders in the city advocated a death battle with the Ming army, among which there were relatives who brought me up. My uncle pointed at my forehead and scolded me, "We in Yinyang City are short of cattle and sheep, rice and grain, but not bones. From the moment I handed over Yinyang City, I had no face to go back to see the elders in Yinyang."

Xiao Jinyan didn't understand what this felt. A swordsman who devoted his first half of his life to a city eventually ended up in a foreign land.

"What are your plans after this battle?"

Li Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm going to find a successor."

Xiao Jinyan asked with a smile, what do you think of me?

Li Qiuyi shook his head, "Your temperament is not suitable for learning the way of gold and swords. Those who learn swords should be indomitable and brave, and you have a friend, which is good, and you are more interested in my husband's appetite."
