Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing

At the same time, Jiang Xingwu was packing his bags in Shaolin Temple on Henan Road.

It is said to be a luggage, but in fact it is only a small burden, which contains two sets of old clothes and a few rough steamed buns.

Because of the severe drought in Henan Province last year, the people went to Huainan Road in order to make a living. Even though the weather is good this year, there are not many people farming the fields. It can be expected that this year will be another year of famine.

Although Shaolin Temple is the number one sect in the Jianghu, but after more than a year, there is not much food in the temple, so it can only let the disciples go out for alms like the natural disaster more than ten years ago. Whether they can survive depends on fate.

Other disciples can still go together, but Jiang Xingwu offended King Kang before, and his master has offended many people in order to protect him. Even though all the monks in Shaolin Temple, as long as they are people, they have emotions and desires. group.

Therefore, after returning from the confinement in Houshanguan, he has become a lonely family. Fortunately, he doesn't care about these things. After packing his bags, he went to say goodbye to his master.

His master's name is Shichen, and he has a high status in Shaolin Temple. He is the same generation as the abbot. Because of his round and plump cheeks, he looks very young, but he is actually 60 or [-] years old.

He looked at his disciples indifferently, and said in an inscrutable way: "It will be years since we left, and the fate between you and me as a teacher and apprentice is over. You are a disciple of Shaolin laymen, and you don't have to come back again."

Jiang Xingwu was shocked when he heard the words, and asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

Shi Chen closed his eyes, and said: "In three years, you will know, it's getting late, go down the mountain."

Jiang Xingwu was at a loss, his master was nagging, at first he took the initiative to take himself into his sect, but now he kicked him out without saying a word...

Say that he treats me well, but he never talks to him on weekdays, it seems that there is no such person in his life.

It’s okay to say that he is not good to himself, but he turned a blind eye to the "Yi Jin Jing", the treasure of Shaolin, and let him take it away; offending Queen Kang, it was he who came forward to protect him and threw him to the back mountain closed confinement.

Jiang Xingwu couldn't see through the master in front of him, lowered his eyes with complicated emotions, said goodbye bitterly, and prepared to go down the mountain with his burden on his back.

He was still struggling with where to go for alms next. At this moment, a young monk stopped him and secretly handed him a letter.

Jiang Xingwu grabbed the little monk who was about to run away, went to a hidden corner, flicked the envelope, and asked, "What is this?"

The young monk saw that he was tall and big, and he had never been shaved. Knowing that he was a lay disciple, he was a little scared, and shrank, and said, "Yes... an old monk asked me to hand it to you."

Jiang Xingwu raised his eyebrows, opened the envelope and took out the letter, and read it word by word.

When he was young, because of his poor family, he never went to school.

But after entering the Shaolin Temple, he wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures, so he learned some characters from his seniors. Later, he went out for alms and had nothing to do, so he learned half a month from the master he met on the road. He has a good memory, but he has learned most of the characters. .

Now, after quickly reading the letter, he rubbed his chin and thought: This is a good place to go.

This letter was written to him by his elder brother Shi Liqun, who was married to Jinlan, saying that the world is in chaos now, and he wants to invite him to join the rebel army, and maybe he will be named a marquis in the future.

Jiang Xingwu didn't think so far at this time, he just didn't want to be hungry anymore, and this elder brother is a rich official's son, it's better to follow him than to beg everywhere.

And Yangzhou Mansion...

Jiang Xingwu couldn't help thinking of his seventh brother Zhong Yu, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and he didn't know where he was now after he left Jiannan Road, but his martial arts skills are so strong, he must be much stronger than his fifth brother.

He smiled, stretched his waist, strode away from Shaolin Temple, and walked towards Huainan Road.

After walking on the road for more than a month, the calluses on the soles of the feet were several layers thicker, and it was only at the beginning of summer that they arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture.

At this time, Yangzhou Mansion was as lively as before, free from the troubles of the outside world. He came to visit with a crumpled letter.

, because of poor attire, was almost kicked out by the porter of the Shi family as a beggar.

Fortunately, a girl from Shi's family helped him out when she came back, so she verified his identity and was invited into the mansion by the concierge.

He was not good at dealing with women, so he bowed his head after thanking her. The girl was a bold and forthright person, so he ordered his servants to send him to the guest room, and prepared bath water and hot rice. A little more goodwill.

Shi Liqun was busy with affairs, and Jiang Xingwu stayed at Shi's house for a few days before the other party returned to his house and warmly entertained him.

Jiang Xingwu was a little worried at first, but with the sincerity of the other party, he settled down and joined Shi Liqun's rebel army to help him capture the nearby territory.

He originally thought that he would hate killing, but when he actually went to the battlefield, he realized that he was so good at marching and fighting.

Not only did he not resist, but he enjoyed this feeling of being in control of life and death, which was contrary to his more than ten years of Shaolin Temple career, but it made him suddenly understand the meaning of what Master Shichen said.

When he was nearly thirty, he finally found the meaning of life.

Shi Liqun was amazed because of his excellent performance in the battle. At first, he just wanted to recruit talents and wrote letters to many people he knew. One letter, I didn't expect to get such a big surprise.

Jiang Xingwu was extremely brave, shrewd and capable, and he took the lead in the war. The most rare thing was that he had no selfishness, and all the property collected was turned over to him.This made Shi Liqun pay more attention to this righteous brother, and betrothed his distant niece, the girl from the Shi family who helped Jiang Xingwu back then, to Jiang Xingwu.

Jiang Xingwu was stunned for a long time, making the Shi family girl feel ashamed and angry, thinking that the other party was unwilling to marry him.

However, Jiang Xingwu just didn't realize it, because Shaolin disciples are not allowed to marry wives and have children, but Master Shichen also said that he is no longer a Shaolin disciple, and just because of the fact that he has killed countless people, is against the rules of Shaolin Temple. It's not impossible.

He nodded bluntly, leaving Shi Liqun and the girl from the Shi family speechless. Fortunately, the final result was good.

After he got married, he worked harder, and most people had schemes. Only he was born to fight on the battlefield. Shi Liqun distributed half of his property to his wife, and the other half to the generals below.

Originally, it was just an unintentional move, but unexpectedly won the love of many generals, and was unique among Shi Liqun's generals.

The Huainan Road breakfast was full of excitement, and the forces in other places should not be underestimated. The court of the Daqi Kingdom is now in a dilemma. The princes are aware of the seriousness of the matter, but seeing that they are only one step away from the throne, no one is willing to give in first.

This undoubtedly gave the rebels more time to grow and develop. After the Slight Heat, the Xinri Sect was so powerful that it soon captured nearly half of the territory of the Daqi Kingdom. This gave the court and the princes a blow.

King Zhuang of Shannan Road and King Jing of Henan Province took the lead in withdrawing from the battle for the throne. They had no choice but to withdraw.

After another two months, the other two weak princes also had to leave the capital.

In the end, only the most powerful King Kang and another weaker Prince Rui were left. After a secret conversation in the middle of a dark night, Prince Rui voluntarily withdrew from the power struggle, and King Kang took over the throne.

The battle for the throne that had been going on for more than half a year finally came to an end. The whole court was relieved, and the enthronement ceremony was held at the end of the month.

After King Kang came to the throne, he was called Emperor Qi Guang. He announced amnesty for the world and promulgated many powerful and effective measures, so that the turbulent Da Qi State obtained a short period of peace.

But at this time, the autumnal equinox had passed, Jiang Xingwu had nothing to do these days, and the Double Ninth Festival would be soon, so he asked Shi Liqun for leave, and planned to take his wife back to his hometown to worship the ancestors.

Originally, Shi Liqun didn't want him to leave Yangzhou Mansion, but that night, his wife gave him a pillow talk, saying that his niece was married, so he should go to her husband's house with her husband.

, all the etiquette.

Shi Liqun had nothing to do with his wife, and he really felt sorry for his niece, so he agreed to Jiang Xingwu's request, but told him to return as soon as possible, because they still had a tough battle to fight with the court.

Jiang Xingwu agreed with great joy, and that afternoon, he took his good wife and left Yangzhou Mansion in a carriage to Haozhou City under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou.

He has not been back to his hometown for many years. Since the disaster more than ten years ago, his parents and brothers have starved to death one after another. In the huge Jiang family, only he and his brother are left.

The elder brother sold himself to be a servant in someone else's house, while he went to Shaolin Temple to earn a living.

After staying for a few years, Shaolin Temple had no food left, so he drove them down the mountain to seek alms everywhere. He once took this opportunity to go back to Haozhou City once, hoping to see his last relative.

Unexpectedly, the Li family whose elder brother sold himself had moved before, and his whereabouts were unknown.

He was depressed, and learned from the servant next door that his elder brother married a maid in Li's mansion and had a son, so his mood improved, and he thought: If there is fate in the future, we will meet again.

Unexpectedly, this farewell lasted more than ten years.

The closer the carriage got to Haozhou City, the darker Jiang Xingwu's eyes became. His wife, Mrs. Shi, patted the back of his hand and said softly, "Master, I and my child will accompany you from now on."

Jiang Xingwu was very moved, and after a while, he asked bluntly, "Child?"

Shi's cheeks were flushed, she glared at him, touched her belly, and said, "It's only been three months, I originally wanted to tell you later."

Three months.

Jiang Xingwu calculated the time, didn't he get pregnant soon after getting married? !

He was so excited that he almost jumped up from the carriage, but Shi Shi gave him a blank look before sitting down obediently, rubbing his hands and leaning over, licking his face and saying, "Young lady is amazing."

Shi Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she pushed his big head away and said, "What nonsense!"

Jiang Xingwu laughed loudly, changed from the gloom before, and there were vivid smiles in his brows and eyes.

Seeing that he finally smiled, Shi Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

The two entered Haozhou City, because Shi Shi was pregnant, so Jiang Xingwu didn't take her to her original home immediately, but found a high-end restaurant to live in.

After resting for two days, they consulted a doctor to confirm that Shi's body was not damaged by the bumpy road, so the two went to Jiang's previous residence.

This is the slum area of ​​Haozhou City, the environment is harsh, and the people who come and go have bad looks. Seeing that Jiang Xingwu is tall and burly, he stopped coming forward to grab money.

Jiang Xingwu stood outside the yard with a blank face. This place has long been occupied by another family. Shi Shi whispered: "Sir, why don't we buy this yard back with money?"

Jiang Xingwu shook his head slowly, and said, "No need, all the people in Jiang's family turned into a pile of loess, leaving a yard, it's useless."

But he still stood here for a long time, even took his wife around the yard, told her about his past, and then took Mrs. Shi back to the restaurant.

At this time, there was only one day left before the Double Ninth Festival, Shi Shi knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't force it, and gave the waiter some errand money to buy something for the sacrifice.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Shi went out of the city with Jiang Xingwu, and found several mounds in a wasteland, where Jiang Xingwu's relatives were buried.

Don't underestimate these mounds, the money for the burial is all the money that Jiang Xingwu's elder brother sold himself.

Jiang Xingwu knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head three times, and swore to his wife: "When I do a great job in the future, I will come back and move the graves of the Jiang family ancestors to a treasured land of geomantic omen, and bless the descendants of the Jiang family." , bless our children."

Shi's eyes turned red, and he said, "I believe that Mr. Wang will be successful with his abilities."

At this time, Jiang Xingwu made up his mind to become a general, honor his ancestors, and protect future generations.

They didn't go back to Haozhou City until the afternoon. Because of the sacrificial matter, Jiang Xingwu was not in the mood to bring

Mrs. Shi was walking around the city. Seeing that it was still early, she planned to take Mrs. Shi to the place where she grew up and take a good look. There should be no such opportunities in the future.

They went to the bustling market for a stroll, and then went to the best restaurant for dinner. At night, they watched the sky full of Kongming lanterns from the observation deck of the night market.

The Shi family also took Jiang Xingwu to put a lamp on each of them, praying that the husband and wife will have smooth sailing in the future, and that the descendants of the Jiang family will last forever.

Listening to her blessing, Jiang Xingwu couldn't help laughing out loud. After being glared at by Mrs. Shi, Jiang Xingwu rubbed his nose and walked to the corner to squat.

Unexpectedly, I heard such a conversation by accident. The voice came from upstairs, and one of them said: "...this evil star is so unreasonable! I really hope that the imperial court can take action and bring this evil star to justice! "

The other man hissed and said in a low voice: "You don't want to die! The evil star is only a day's journey away from us. If someone finds out that someone scolded him, he might come to your door and chop you up on that evil horse. head!"

The person in front sneered and said: "I think you were also scared out of your wits by that evil star. He is in Siyuan County and we are in Haozhou City. Even if they rushed over, we would have already run away without a trace. Could it be that he is really that capable?" , It’s not enough to be able to cut off the head of a person thousands of miles away.”

There was a sudden silence around, as if such absurd things had happened before.

The man with a sarcastic tone just now swallowed his saliva in fear at this moment, and forced himself to say: "I don't believe it, kicking people's heads, cutting people into pieces with bare hands, and eating human flesh... It's all made up by foolish people. With that kind of ability, why don't you see him leave the one-acre land in Siyuan County and take down the whole world?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, he persuaded himself, and said in an even more embarrassing tone, "I know you guys are timid and fearful, but I didn't expect you to be so afraid of him that you dare not even mention his name, what a bunch of cowards! "

Jiang Xingwu also heard about this evil star when he was in Yangzhou, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time, so he didn't know that the other party was so powerful.

He couldn't help arousing curiosity, glanced at the lady who was still praying, grabbed the railing and jumped upstairs, and jumped upstairs.

He asked, "What's the name of the evil star you're talking about?"

The man said: "Isn't it Qi Zhongyu? You are so confused, you even forgot his name..."

He got stuck in the middle of speaking, and finally realized that this group of brothers did not ask him.

He was trembling all over, thinking that it was Qi Zhongyu who had appeared, regretting it in his heart, and the others were not much better, and some people even crouched on the ground in fright, saying: "I didn't say bad things about you, it wasn't me!"

Jiang Xingwu narrowed his eyes, strode up to the man who spoke just now, grabbed his collar and picked him up, and asked, "Repeat again, what's his name?"

The man looked at him in fear, and saw that he was very different from the legendary Qi Zhongyu who had a beautiful face, so he breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes and said, "Qi Zhongyu, you don't even know his name." Have you heard of it, brother, which corner did you emerge from?"

Jiang Xingwu's expression was dull, and then he suddenly burst out laughing, muttering: "Zhong Yu, Qi Zhongyu, Qi, Qi Changgui...Qi Zhongyu!"

His words sounded confusing to the others, but seeing his voice getting louder, the group of people got anxious and said, "Hush your voice!"

Seeing that a single name can scare people like this, Jiang Xingwu laughed again, and muttered: "Why didn't I think of it? A world-shattering genius like the seventh brother is absolutely impossible to be silent for too long, as expected. Haha, Qi Zhongyu, this is really a good name, and it is indeed the name that the seventh brother would choose."

He now knows that the seventh brother is in Siyuan County, and Siyuan County is very close to Haozhou City, and it only takes half a day to get there by riding a horse.

He is not in a hurry to go back to Yangzhou. He plans to take his wife and leave for Siyuan County tomorrow. He has not seen him for many years and has the best relationship with his seventh brother. He doesn't know how the other party has become after so many years. up.

When Mrs. Shi heard Xianggong's smile downstairs, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and shouted, "Msister, what are you talking about?"

It's so funny, it makes me happy to say it! "

Jiang Xingwu's laughter paused, he jumped down from the upstairs again, and said to Shi Shi: "It's really a happy event, listen to me tell you slowly. Back then, I..."

He talked about the friendship with Jinlan back then, and he started talking endlessly. Shi knew a thing or two about it, but he didn't know that the person who had the best relationship with his husband was not Shi Liqun, but another person, who was younger than Jiang Xingwu. How old is he, and he is now in Siyuan County.

Seeing that Xianggong's eyes were bright, she asked, "Xianggong means that you want to go to Siyuan County to meet this friend?"

Jiang Xingwu nodded and said: "Exactly, if you miss this opportunity, you don't know how long you will have to wait, so..."

Shi Shi thought for a while, and said: "Then let's go, otherwise, even if Mr. Xiang returns to Yangzhou, he will feel uneasy."

Jiang Xingwu hugged her and laughed, the two of them rested overnight, and left for Siyuan County the next day.

Shi Shi is not a real woman in the inner house, and she also helped her husband manage many affairs, so unlike the cheerful Jiang Xingwu, she lifted the curtain of the car all the way to observe the surroundings of Siyuan County.

This place is really different from other places. There are not only people farming in the fields, but also uniformly dressed soldiers.

Some soldiers will train on the trails, while others will actually go to the fields to farm, which is quite useful.

It's no wonder that the fields here are all planted with food, and there is no waste at all. It is not difficult to imagine how big the harvest will be this year.

Marching and fighting, soldiers and horses have not moved, and food and grass go first. This Qi Zhongyu has cultivated so many fields and has so much food, so he must have a lot of schemes.

The Shi family couldn't help but worry. Although Siyuan County is a long way from Yangzhou, Huainan Road is such a large territory that it can't accommodate too many forces. In the end, there will always be internal fighting, and this Qi Zhongyu belongs to the Shi family. a rival.

It happened that the other party was a brother that Xianggong valued very much, Shi Shi felt more and more uneasy.

It was not easy for her to pour cold water on her husband, so she opened her eyes wide, carefully observed his actions, and planned to go back and report to Shi Liqun.

In the afternoon, the carriage finally entered Siyuan County.

Today's Siyuan County does not have a county magistrate, and Qi Zhongyu had already beheaded the county magistrate, because Qi Zhongyu is not good at managing government affairs, so Qi Changle and the Qi family brothers are fully responsible for the affairs of the county.

Qi Changle waived the entry and exit fee, and greatly reduced the stall fee. Not only that, but also encouraged the villagers under his jurisdiction to come to the county to do business.

After more than half a year of development, today's Siyuan County is more lively than a few years ago, and the business is more prosperous.

And Qi Zhongyu is in charge of the army with Gao Yu. She has no experience at first, but she has participated in military training in modern times and watched related TV dramas, so she can occasionally put forward novel and very constructive suggestions.

After discussing with Gao Yu, who was experienced in the battlefield, she passed it on and trained soldiers according to their drill method. In a short period of time, she trained a usable soldier.

Qi Zhongyu never thought that she would become a big fat man with one bite. After she occupied the county seat, she discussed with her second uncle Qi Changle that in the next year, she would control the entire Siyuan County, including the villages and refugees under her jurisdiction. hands.

And, it must be fast, before the year of farming, so that all these people can be put into production; at the same time, more usable powerful soldiers must be trained.

Those refugees before were no longer a burden. Qi Zhongyu went to Yan Lang himself, explained to him that he was going to revolt, and made it clear that he wanted the refugees under him. Even if Yan Lang didn't want to, his life was in Qi Zhongyu's hands In addition to Qi Zhongyu and the soldiers and horses of Yuehe Village, although they are not as numerous as the refugees, they are all well-fed, well-fed and well-fed soldiers.

If he really wanted to fight, he could only be at a disadvantage, so after thinking about it for a day, he took the initiative to surrender.

Qi Zhongyu did not remove him from the position of leader. Hearing that his second uncle said that Yan Lang was a useful talent, he promoted him to be his confidant and helped her lead the army to conquer.

In just over half a month, Qi Zhongyu had all of Siyuan County and its villages in his hands.

Today's Siyuan County is guarded strictly against water splashing, and only obeys the orders of Qi Zhongyu. Qi Zhongyu is simple and rude, omitting many useless links, improving the efficiency of work, and accepting the refugees who came over with open arms.

So far, it has begun to take shape.

Jiang Xingwu is not a simple-minded idiot with well-developed limbs. After he entered Siyuan County, he settled his wife and looked around.

He also admired himself more and more for his seventh younger brother, who had a mixed reputation, and when he heard that Qi Zhongyu lived in the Qi Mansion on West Street, he personally visited him.

And not long after Qi Zhongyu came back to the Qi family from Yuenan Mountain, she took her wife to worship Qi Changgui's family in the deep mountains yesterday, and rested in the mountains at night. Because of the busy work a few days ago, she consciously ignored Lu Dongfu, so she took her mother there The top of Yuenan Mountain was lingering all night. This morning, after seeing the gorgeous sunrise, I took my wife back to the city.

She almost didn't sleep all night, went back to the mansion and had lunch, then lay down on the bed and yawned. She was going to sleep with her mother in her arms for the rest of the afternoon. At this moment, she heard a servant report that an old friend Came to visit her specially.

Qi Zhongyu murmured in his heart, while arranging the messy clothes, he wondered who would come to her?

The first thing she thought of was Tan Haoran. Since the new year, there has been no news from him. The Xinrijiao has a lot of information, but there is no specific information about Tan Haoran.

Occasionally, she would send someone to send a letter to Tan Haoran, but she never got a reply from the other party. She only knew that the other party was the leader of the New Sun Sect, and he was too busy with affairs on weekdays, and there were too many people asking to see him, so she couldn't take care of him at all. .

Qi Zhongyu understood his busyness, and thought that she was just managing Siyuan County by name, so she was busy yawning again and again. As the leader of a sect, the other party managed tens of thousands of people, so he must be too busy to touch the ground, so she no longer Someone was sent to bother me.

And today... perhaps because the new emperor ascended the throne, even Tan Haoran was free.

With a smile on her face, she walked to the room specially arranged for her by her second brother Qi Anye, and saw a tall man standing with his back to her.

Qi Zhongyu didn't recognize it, and said, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, the man turned around and grinned with big white teeth: "Seventh brother, long time no see."

Qi Zhongyu stared at him blankly, and said, "Fifth Brother Jiang?! How could it be you!"

Jiang Xingwu raised his eyebrows and said, "So I came at the wrong time, who did you make an appointment with?"

Qi Zhongyu shook his head and said, "No one, it's just..."

She stepped forward, looked at Jiang Xingwu at close range, her eyes were slightly hot, and said: "I didn't expect that the visitor would be Jiang Wuge. Since we left that day, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. How have you been all these years?" So, did Shaolin Temple make things difficult for you, how could you..."

"Calm down, calm down!" Seeing her incoherent speech, Jiang Xingwu smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

He had already heard about the seventh brother before, otherwise he would definitely be more excited than the seventh brother now.

Qi Zhongyu was pulled to sit on the stool by him, she looked at the person sitting opposite her, and shouted: "Brother Jiang."

Jiang Xingwu responded, and said: "Don't worry, I came here specially to find you today, and I have a lot of time to chat slowly."

Qi Zhongyu couldn't help smiling, and ordered his servants to prepare wine and food, and said: "Jiang Wuge came here specially for my younger brother, I can't treat you badly, the cooks in the house are very skilled, and all the cooking is local. Its signature dish. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Jiang Xingwu poured a cup of tea, squinted his eyes and smelled it, and said with a smile: "Not to mention, the tea alone is extraordinary. After so many years, the seventh brother has finally learned to enjoy life."

Qi Zhongyu shook his head and said: "It was all prepared by the elders in the family. Apart from eating, I can't taste the expensiveness of tea and wine. If Brother Jiang Wu didn't mention it, I wouldn't even know that I was chewing peonies in Niu before." .”

Jiang Xingwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Seventh brother, you still haven't changed this point, hey, since..."

He talked about his time with

Qi Zhongyu's experience of going back to Shaolin Temple after parting.

In fact, there is nothing to say, but Qi Zhongyu's eyes were concerned, and Jiang Xingwu unconsciously remembered the punishments on his body and the depression of confinement in the back mountain pass, so he couldn't help complaining a few words.

It's really rare, he never told his wife about this journey, but in front of Qi Zhongyu, he confessed it calmly.

In the final analysis, although Qi Zhongyu has no blood relationship with him, he is his younger brother that he recognizes in his heart.

This younger brother has a stubborn personality and is upright. Even a small favor can be rewarded by the other party.

Jiang Xingwu has traveled all over the world and met so many people. It is very rare for Qi Zhongyu to still have a heart of sincerity after suffering.And ten years later, the other party has not even changed his appearance, he still looks like a teenager, upon closer inspection, his skin is even whiter, and his facial features are more handsome, no wonder he is called the gentleman with a jade face.

Jiang Xingwu sighed a few times in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that the other party had practiced to the extreme, so he didn't look old.

The two talked freely face to face. Jiang Xingwu said that he went back to his hometown on the Double Ninth Festival, but he still couldn't find his brother. Even the Jiang family's old house was occupied by other people, and he felt very frustrated.

Hearing this, Qi Zhongyu lowered his eyes and said, "Fifth Brother, to be honest, I went to Haozhou City a few years ago. I had nothing to do, so I tracked down your brother's whereabouts all the way, and finally got some information, but... ..."

Jiang Xingwu sat up straight and asked eagerly, "And then?"

Qi Zhongyu hesitated to speak, and said: "Your brother and sister-in-law have died of an accident, and their son has disappeared with his belongings. I used to go out to look for him every month, but then..."

Before she married Lu Dongfu, she would indeed go down the mountain not long after to find two things outside.

Same, it is the [-]-block Rubik's Cube given to his son by Qi Changgui;

The other is Jiang Xingwu's nephew whose life or death is uncertain.

However, after marrying Lu Dongfu, she gradually gave up traveling far away, which made her face unavoidably guilty when she faced Jiang Xingwu.

Jiang Xingwu sat there for a long time, seeing Qi Zhongyu looking at him guiltily, he reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't blame you, I'm still grateful to you, after all, you went to track down the whereabouts of my relatives for me, and you also Got their definite news."

"On the contrary, I am the younger brother. I am ashamed to say that I have never found my brother's whereabouts for so many years. If you hadn't told me the news, I don't know how long I would have searched in vain."

"I just..." He took a deep breath and said heavily, "I always thought that the world is so big that there is still a relative who will marry a wife and have children, and multiply the blood of the Jiang family, but I didn't expect..."

Seeing that his eyes were moist, Qi Zhongyu persuaded him, "Fifth brother, the deceased is gone, but your nephew may still be alive, and it is very likely that he will meet you again in the future."

"Besides, Fifth Brother is now married and starting a family. I just said that my sister-in-law is pregnant and will have children soon. They can continue the blood of the Jiang family. You will not have no successors."

Jiang Xingwu responded sullenly, and suddenly remembered that Qi Zhongyu had no children, and asked, "What about you? You got married earlier than me, and your age is not much different from mine. Why don't you have any children?"

Qi Zhongyu pursed her lips tightly. She was not going to reveal her identity to Jiang Xingwu, so she could only use lies to fool her. She said sadly, "Fifth Brother, you should know that I went to the Xinri Church not long after I parted with you, and was later arrested. The former leader Tan Xiutong framed him and was poisoned by King Kang..."

Jiang Xingwu woke up with a start. He had been sad for his seventh brother for a long time, but he was relieved when he learned that she appeared in Jiannan Road.

He asked: "That poison is the most poisonous in the world. How did you detoxify it?"

Qi Zhongyu rolled up his sleeves, exposing his tendons, and touched the internal force of his dantian. Veins popped out of his originally fair arms, making people feel horrified.

Jiang Xingwu almost jumped up and pressed his hand on her arm, only then did he realize that her skin was cold and unusual.

Qi Zhongyu withdrew his hand, and said: "As you can see, I haven't detoxified, but I have temporarily suppressed the toxicity in my body with my deep internal force. As long as I don't overdraw the internal force in my body, the poison will not develop."

Even so, Jiang Xingwu still turned around anxiously, saying: "How can this be done, the poison has been staying in your body, then you..."

He suddenly thought of the reason why Qi Zhongyu rolled up his sleeves, and his eyes fixed on Qi Zhongyu's lower body.

Qi Zhongyu clenched his fists on his knees, blocking his sight, and said in a heavy tone: "That's right, Fifth Brother, I will never be able to conceive an heir in my life."

Jiang Xingwu sat down on the stool and said: "Seventh brother, hey, don't worry, I will definitely kill Kang Wang and his descendants to avenge you!"

The corner of Qi Zhongyu's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Xingwu was afraid that she would be sad, so he talked about other things.

There was one thing that kept him puzzled. He asked, "Seventh Brother, what happened to you in Jiannan Road? Why did Second Brother say that you killed his relatives in a fit of anger?"

When Qi Zhongyu told the truth, Jiang Xingwu was furious, and said: "I really didn't expect that brothers who are all brothers who don't want to live together, but want to die together, would frame you like this! It's really hateful!"

Qi Zhongyu said: "People's hearts are separated from each other. What's more, the marriage to Jinlan back then was just a moment of enthusiasm. Not many people would really take it seriously."

Jiang Xingwu retorted: "Seventh brother is too pessimistic. I am working under elder brother now. Elder brother treats me like a younger brother and betroths all his nieces to me."

Qi Zhongyu wants to help his forehead, Jiang Xingwu is good at everything and has enough brains, but he believes too much in the loyalty of the world.

He really thought that if he swore to Jinlan and became brothers, he was a real brother.

However, even brothers have a time to settle accounts, let alone the nine of them, when they first met, they didn't get along for too long.

Thinking back now, it was really just a moment of enthusiasm, and it is estimated that not many people really took it to heart.

However, Jiang Xingwu believed it to be true. Qi Zhongyu didn't know much about Shi Liqun, and he didn't dare to say that the other party must have plots, so he could only tell Jiang Xingwu: "As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others." , fifth brother, I didn't mean to destroy the relationship between you and big brother, but just keep an eye on everything, if..."

She lowered her eyes, pretending to be depressed and said, "If we were in a situation like my second brother's, we wouldn't end up with complete defeat and notoriety."

Jiang Xingwu also knew that she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, so he didn't accuse her of being a villain, and nodded to show that he knew.

Qi Zhongyu also saw that he didn't take this matter to heart, sighed in his heart, and made up his mind to send a confidant to Jiang Xingwu's side, in case something really happened in the future, maybe he could help Jiang Xingwu out of trouble.
