"Oh, Senior Brother Chen Qiu, you don't know how I spent the past six months."

On the high ground on the roadside, it was getting late, and two bonfires were born in the Momen. Guy Li also brought food and water, and made tea with herbs.

By the bonfire, Li Yijian sat on the stone with a big golden knife, took off his upper body, and talked loudly to Chen Qiu with a naked body.

Beside him, the manager of the Li family was dealing with the wound on his arm for the young master.

The wound was not deep, nor did it hurt the muscles and bones.

However, the bamboo guns used by those refugees are mostly rusted, so they have to deal with the wound carefully to avoid infection, or worse, leaving behind tetanus and other diseases.

"After you left Luoyang, I was trapped at home by my dad for 3 months!"

The young master of the Li family looked unlucky. He picked up the wine pot with his other hand, handed it to Chen Qiu, and then kept saying:

"I finally lifted the ban, but my dad didn't allow me to stay away from the Central Plains, so I could only walk around the business near Luoyang."

"I'm going to squat and can't drink."

Chen Qiu used a wooden stick to slam the bonfire and rejected the wine handed over by Li Yijian.

The latter shrugged and didn't care. Anyway, in his heart, Senior Brother Chen Qiu was a strange-tempered person.

He picked up the wine pot and took a sip, then handed it to the silent companion beside him. The latter seemed to have a good relationship with Li Yijian, so he took it and took a sip.

"When you are walking in the Central Plains, how did you come to this place in Xiaoxiang?"

The Qingqing girl beside Chen Qiu asked curiously while gnawing on the roasted jerky:

"I also encountered bandits robbers."

"That's because I worked hard."

The former bald boy smiled and asked the manager to take some sugar cakes from the carriage, handed them to Qingqing, and then said proudly:

"I followed my father's wishes and worked diligently around Luoyang to deliver goods. After working for more than four months, I finally asked my father to allow me to go further.

This time I came to Xiaoxiang with the manager to deliver medicinal materials to Xiaoxiang Jianmen.”

Li Yijian took another sip of wine and said to Chen Qiu and Qingqing:

"My family sends medicinal materials twice a year. One is to maintain their relationship with Xiaoxiang Jianmen, and the other is to ask them to protect my Li family's business in Xiaoxiang."

Speaking of this, the bald boy was also a little depressed, he said:

"I haven't had any trouble walking for many years. As a result, when I came here for the first time, I encountered bandits robbers. I was so lucky."

This bald boy's luck is really not very good.

Chen Qiu chuckled, he didn't mention this, changed the topic and said to Li Yijian:

"I just watched you fight, but my sword skills are sophisticated and I have a lot of courage. I have fought in the past six months?"

"yes."

When talking about martial arts, Li Yijian was excited and a little sad, and he said:

"The land of Qilu has become more and more chaotic in the past six months, allowing many homeless refugees to enter the Central Plains. It is not bad around Luoyang, but there are even more bandits in the far away.

When I went to Taihang Mountain to receive goods, I encountered several disasters.

I am not afraid of laughing at my senior brother. I was furious when I fought with them for the first time. I couldn't even hold the knife in my hand. I forgot the sword technique you taught so much that I could only chop and kill randomly.

If it weren't for the mountaineering people who brought the goods warehouse in Xiaohu brothers, I would have been buried in the Taihang area."

The bald boy recalled the past with a look of nostalgia.

He patted the silent companion beside him and said to Chen Qiu:

"This is my brother Zhang Xiaohu. He was originally the supervisor of my warehouse in Taihang Mountain. After saving me, he walked with me."

"oh?"

Chen Qiu blinked.

The Li family medicine shop opened a warehouse in Taihang Mountain, but the money he paid was for communicating with the mountain ghost Gongsun Yu.

He looked at the rather silent companion beside Li Yijian. Is it the warehouse he had in charge before?

This is really fate.

The boy looked like a good muscle and bone, and he looked about the same size as Li Yijian. He wore black boxing gloves on his hand, like Chabao's finger guard gloves, embellished with steel pieces.

It seems that Zhang Xiaohu is a martial artist.

"Hehe, senior brother, I gave my 'secret book' to Brother Xiaohu. He is quite talented in boxing. In three months, he was able to practice it."

Li Yijian blinked sneakily. He took the strange knife at his hand and handed it to Chen Qiu. He said proudly:

"Brother Xiaohu also gave his treasure to me. Senior brother, please observe my knife. Is it good?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiu reached out to take the knife handed over by Li Yijian.

He looked at the knife in his hand with a strange look. The knife was quite slender, more than four feet long, longer than an ordinary knife.

Moreover, the handle is much longer than the tools used by ordinary people in the world.

The handle of the knife was carefully wrapped with red cloth strips. The knife was hollowed out with a circle, the blade turned inward and had a smooth arc shape, which was very different from the Central Plains weapons.

"bass"

Chen Qiu pulled out the blade.

In the response of the bonfire and the dusk sunlight, the snow-white blade has layers of cloud patterns, which is extremely cold.

And there are a few weird words near the handle of the knife.

"Ghost のたま"

Chen Qiu whispered the pronunciations of those characters, which shocked Li Yijian and Zhang Xiaohu beside him widened their eyes, and Qingqing also asked in surprise:

"Senior brother, do you understand this text?"

"Learn a little."

Chen Qiu closed the knife in his hand, held it up with both hands, and checked it carefully.

After a moment, he handed the receipt back to Li Yijian and said:

"This is a Japanese sword. The style should be a knife, but it is not forged by famous artists. It can be considered a good knife.

But compared to the knife itself, I am more curious about where you brother got the Japanese knife, this world... Well, I mean, there are Japanese people walking in this world?"

Li Yijian took back his beloved knives. He looked at Zhang Xiaohu and said to Chen Qiu:

"This knife is said to be Xiaohu's father, who was obtained from Japanese merchants.

I also heard from my father that when the sea routes were not cut off in the early years, there were indeed Japanese people in Quanzhou, but I had never seen them before."

"The sea route is cut off?"

Chen Qiu grabbed the point and asked:

"How to cut off?"

"wind."

The silent Zhang Xiaohu suddenly spoke:

"Before my father changed his career, he was a businessman from Quanzhou.

I heard him say that more than 20 years ago, on the sea route from our Central Plains to Japan outside the region, there was suddenly a strong wind blowing, blocking the sea route from the smooth flow, and even the largest sea boat could not go out to sea.

The businessmen were cut off because of this.”

"But in recent years, the strong winds at sea seem to have become weaker."

Li Yijian continued:

"It was also the last time I followed my father to visit Mr. Lei, I heard Mr. Lei say it casually.

Heluo Gang traveled to the world, and it seemed that there were ships to Japan in the early years. He said that according to the current situation, I am afraid that the wind might calm down in more than ten years."

"So that's the case?"

Chen Qiu's inner doubts were not resolved.

But he still subconsciously held the sword jade in his hand. More than 20 years ago, wasn’t that the time when Zhang Moye found the immortal fate?

Many things seem to happen at that node, and Chen Qiu has to explore the secrets himself.

"By the way, senior brother."

The few people chatted and laughed for a while, and Qingqing added fuel to the fire of Suzhou to others, describing Chen Qiu as if he was a god from heaven, and Li Yijian exclaimed his loyalty.

This guy probably drank wine in order to suppress the pain in his arms, and he was already slightly drunk at this time.

He looked at Chen Qiu and asked softly:

"I saw you using a knife before. Although you were still Guiyan's sword technique, there were sword shadows dancing around. Could it be that you have learned new techniques from Guiyan's sword?"

"I did understand something."

Chen Qiu held the thick porcelain teacup and glanced at Li Yijian, saying:

"But it is impossible to teach you. It's not that I hide my own feelings, but that I will cause you trouble, so don't ask too much. Your Guiyan sword technique is just about entering the hall. If you want to have three of the deep tastes, you have to continue practicing."

"yes."

Although Li Yijian's young character is much better than half a year ago, he is still not steady enough and a little unrestrained. However, he admires Chen Qiu quite a lot. Seeing that Chen Qiu said, he stopped asking more questions.

"Okay, it's going to be late, so go and rest."

Chen Qiu opened his mouth and said to the others beside the fire:

"I have to rush to the road tomorrow. You go to Dongting. I'm going to Changsha. I'll be parting tomorrow."

"Can you see you again in the future."

Li Yijian was supported by Zhang Xiaohu and stood up and said to Chen Qiu:

"To meet my senior brother today is a good thing. After the goods are delivered, I beg my dad to let me go to Suzhou to play. Then I will meet my senior brother and Miss Qingqing at that time.

Then, I'll wait..."

"Who! Don't get close!"

Before Li Yijian finished his drinking, he heard the shouts of Mr. Li from outside the resting high ground.

It seems that someone is approaching the station.

Chen Qiu immediately held the Hongming Knife in his hand, and the rest of the people stood up one after another. The experience of being robbed during the day was still there, and everyone was a little nervous now.

But soon, the guards on the periphery led several people wearing long gowns and swords into the garage.

Li Yijian was a little drunk, so he washed his face first and woke him up.

He saw the uniform outfits of the people in front of him and the jade pendant they wore on their waists, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said:

"It turns out that they are all the senior brothers from Xiaoxiang Jianmen. We are the caravan of the Lijia Pharmacy Store in Luoyang. This trip is coming to deliver medicinal materials to Xiaoxiang Jianmen.

Everyone is their own family.”

He glanced at the vigilant postures of the people in front of him, and then asked:

"But I wonder why all the senior brothers came?"

"Nothing big."

Among the several people in Xiaoxiang Jianmen, a middle-aged man in charge seemed to be extraordinary. He walked forward with a smile, twisted his beard and said to Li Yijian:

"My name is Lu Kun, I am the manager of Jianmen Outer Sect. I have indeed heard that Jianmen has an old age with your Li family. It is also a blessing to meet him today. You don't need to worry."

This Lu Kun explained in a gentle tone:

"But there was a group of bandits in the nearby mountains and forests today. Among them, there was a famous female thief in the green forest who did many evil deeds. He alarmed the uncle in the sect, so he specially sent us to search nearby.

Since my Xiaoxiang Jianmen is built on the shore of Dongting Lake, we must protect the residents here."

He was very polite and leaned over to the person beside the bonfire and said:

"Of course I believe you are waiting. You all seem to be upright people and will not do illegal things.

But the senior brother in the sect has an order, and we have to do things with great care, so we have to search the caravan, so you may be able to do it?"

This man's tone was not volatile, reasonable and well-founded, soft and hard, giving people face in front of him, and made reasonable requests.

Obviously, I have a lot of experience in the world.

"My Li family has always been close to Xiaoxiang Jianmen, so my senior brother will check it out."

Li Yijian has also experienced it for more than half a year. He has a bit of his father's demeanor when dealing with people. He glanced at Chen Qiu and said hesitantly:

"But, my senior brother of the Shen family came here by darting and met me by chance..."

"It's okay."

Seeing that the bald boy was a little embarrassed, Chen Qiu waved his hand and said to the person in the sword gate:

"I have only a few big boxes of escorts, so I can't hide people, but if you are worried, go check it out there, just don't ruin my goods."

"Thank you!"

The middle-aged man clasped his fists and thanked him, then said something to the people behind him, and everyone dispersed to check the goods.

Chen Qiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the people in the sword sect who were extremely vigilant with long swords in front of him. He quietly lucked and felt the surroundings.

He took a step back and whispered to the iron-clad boy behind him:

"There are still people nearby, and there are quite a lot of people, not for us. But you must be careful. If something goes wrong later, you must protect Qingqing."

Broken iron nodded, grabbed the iron stick at hand, but heard Chen Qiu reminding him:

"I know you are kind-hearted, but if there is a fight later, you must make up your mind."

Xiao Tie hesitated for a moment.

But finally nodded, he carried an iron stick and walked towards Qingqing girl who was supervising the group of people in the Jianmen to search for goods.

There are only a dozen boxes of goods on Chen Qiu's side.

As he said, the size of the box cannot hide people at all.

There was also a set of rules when walking the dart. Only the shopkeepers in Changsha shops had the key to open the secret locks. Several people in the sword door carefully searched them and searched them all for the lower floor of the carriage.

Of course there is no problem.

But there was a problem with Li Yijian.

"Senior Brother Lu Kun! There is blood on this car!"

A young man shouted, and Lu Kun, who was chatting with Li Yijian, changed slightly. Li Yijian's expression also changed a little. The two of them quickly walked towards the carriage on the outermost periphery of the Li family caravan.

Several swordsmen around the carriage had already drawn out their swords, looking forward to the battle.

"That should be the daytime when we were robbed by those refugees and bandits when we were fighting."

Li Yijian looked at the blood on the carriage and explained:

"This box is full of good medicinal materials, and I will send them to you to the Sword Gate."

"I believe in Young Master Li, but the Green Forest Female Thief is very cunning, and I have to wait."

Lu Kun still looked smiling, but there was a little chill in his eyes. He held the hilt of the sword in his hand and said to Li Yijian:

"Young man also asks you to open the box in the car and let me wait and see it, so that I can feel relieved."

Li Yijian was hit by Lu Kun, and he couldn't bear to worry about his face. He turned around and asked several guys to lift the box in the car down and open it in front of the bonfire.

As soon as the box was opened, the manager beside Li Yijian exclaimed.

The neatly arranged medicinal materials seemed to have been turned over by someone.

Not only were there a few packs missing, they were also thrown into scattered. What's more, blood was also seeping into the edge of the box, which had not dried up yet, and it was obviously left behind.

"bass"

The sharp sword in Lu Kun was unsheathed, and the smile on his face disappeared, and he said with a cold face:

"Now what else do you have to say! Where did that female thief go? Let me be honest!"

The disciples of the Sword Sect behind him also drew their swords one after another, surrounding the Li family caravan, and were about to start fighting if they had a disagreement.

"I've never seen any female thief."

Li Yijian leaned on the knife and shouted with dissatisfaction:

"How can I explain to you?"

"But I don't know if that female thief has seduced your soul."

Lu Kun held the sword and sneered and threatened:

"You have to think about it, Young Master Li, every family has a great career, why both of them ruined the friendship between me for a woman of unknown origin?"

"I don't know, I don't know!"

Li Yijian was already resentful of the Xiaoxiang Jianmen who sucked blood from his family every year, so he was even more impatient for being framed.

He pulled out his long knife with his backhand and shouted:
Chapter completed!
