Only Qiu Ming and Gu Wen'an sat opposite each other in the main hall, very quiet, but they didn't seem lonely at all. The two looked at each other from afar, and their faces showed the excitement and joy of their long-lost youth.

Gu Wenan drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp and told the story of his experience over the years. Five years ago, how did he come to Northern Xinjiang from Jiangnan after all the hardships, how did he get the trust of the two masters of Baifengzhai, how did he practice this martial arts, and was recognized by the Baifengzhai gang and became the three masters of Baifengzhai.

In the past five years, Gu Wen'an has taken care of Baifeng Village in an orderly manner, and it has become stronger and stronger, and he has gotten along very well with the people in the county town of Beijiang, and even Fu Mingye, the commander of Beijiang County. However, the Northern Qi army has always been eyeing Baifeng Village and has never given up any opportunity to attack Baifeng Village.

Gu Wenan knew that only by relying on the strength of the people could he compete with the powerful Northern Qi army, and only by keeping a low profile could he avoid inviting a large-scale attack by the imperial court. Therefore, over the years, Baifengzhai has not only not been exterminated by the Northern Qi army, but has also gotten better and better, which is entirely due to Gu Wen'an.

This is well known to Meng Zhen, the big boss of Baifeng Village, and Liu Yifei, the second leader, as well as the gangs of Baifeng Village. Therefore, now Baifengzhai is very convinced of Gu Wen'an from top to bottom, and everything is subject to his arrangement.

After Gu Wen'an finished talking about his experience over the years, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes and frowned, looked at Qiu Ming inquiringly, and slowly asked, "Brother Qiu, I know you are here for him." But, I wonder, did you mean it, or did you come on orders?"

Qiu Ming hooked his lips slightly, shook his head slightly, looked at Gu Wen'an calmly, and said softly: "Wen'an, although I came by order of the emperor in name. But actually, I'm here for you......"

Gu Wen'an's brows furrowed even tighter, interrupted Qiu Ming's words unhappily, shook his head resolutely, and said coldly: "If you are here to recruit An, you don't have to waste your tongue." Although you and I have a deep brotherhood, I can't ignore the brothers in Baifengzhai. What's more, you also know that I have already formed a deep enmity with the government and the royal family, and it is impossible for me to submit to the imperial court!"

Qiu Ming shook his head helplessly, smiled faintly, and said, "Wen'an, when I left Jiangnan, my father told me that I must find you no matter what. In the past five years, whenever I hear news of you, I will rush over as soon as possible, and although I have been disappointed again and again, I have never given up. This time, it was Princess Wanxin who found me and asked me about you. After listening to her description, I immediately thought of you, and immediately decided to come to the north to confirm my suspicions, and after countless disappointments, I finally found you. Wen An, of course I'm not here to recruit An, don't you even believe me anymore?"

Gu Wenan was stunned, a trace of excitement flashed on his face, but he quickly regained his composure, thought about it, and said, "So, you are really here for the Seventh Prince, and you are already the Seventh Prince?"

Qiu Ming lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded solemnly before he replied, "Yes." ”

Gu Wen'an took a deep breath, frowned at Qiu Ming, and asked suspiciously, "Do you think he is worth it?"

Qiu Ming nodded without hesitation and said, "It's worth it!" After a pause, he asked rhetorically: "Wen An, do you think that a prince who can risk his life for the people of Northern Xinjiang and for the soldiers under his command is not worthy of our admiration?"

Gu Wenan nodded slightly, but his brows did not loosen, and there was still hesitation in his eyes.

Qiu Ming smiled slightly and continued: "You should know about the deeds of the Seventh Prince who led the Pingnan army to fight against the South Yue Kingdom's General Hong Qiong and blocked the South Vietnamese army outside the city of Fengnan, right?"

Gu Wenan nodded again, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Every Dafeng person, whether it is a literati or a military general, who does not admire the Dafeng soldiers who defended their homes and defended the country and bravely killed the enemy? Who does not cheer and praise the great generals who have won the battle? And the Seven Princes who have just kept the Pingnan army, the Fengnan City, the Jiangnan, and even the Dafeng State are now the great heroes and saviors in the hearts of all the people.

Gu Wen'an thought for a while, nodded and sighed: "The Seventh Prince really deserves to be the descendant of the Feng family! If it weren't for the Seventh Prince, I wouldn't have taken this risk, letting Baifeng Village fall into the encirclement of the Northern Qi army, and there was a danger of being broken at any time." If outsiders find out the terrain of Baifeng Valley, Baifeng Village will not be able to be saved, thousands of brothers in Baifeng Village have put their lives in my hands, and the burden on my body is not light!"

Qiu Ming smiled and nodded, took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, picked up the wine jug to fill himself and Gu Wen'an, and did not continue the topic, as if he suddenly thought of something, and asked thoughtfully: "Wen'an, do you know why the Northern Qi army has refused to let go of Baifeng Village over the years? It stands to reason that a general of the Northern Qi army should not have such a big relationship with your small cottage, and even the four princes who have just taken office can't tolerate Baifeng Village, why is this?"

The smile on Gu Wenan's face froze, and then he returned to normal, shook his head helplessly, and said: "I don't know, long before I came here, the Northern Qi army was already incompatible with Baifeng Village, and I can't tell what grievances and entanglements there are." Perhaps it is precisely because of the years of fighting that the skirmish has slowly accumulated into a deep hatred. ”

Qiu Ming saw that Gu Wen'an was reluctant to say it, nor was he reluctant to say it, he smiled faintly, raised his glass and said: "No matter what kind of knots and hatred Baifengzhai and the Northern Qi army and the royal family had in the past. Since I'm here, I'm here to untie the knot. There is no urgency in this matter, we will talk about it slowly in the future, come, today our two brothers will get drunk and rest!"

"Okay!" Gu Wen'an laughed, held the cup in both hands, raised it to Qiu Ming, raised his head and poured the liquor in the cup into his mouth, then threw the wine glass on the table, and commanded loudly to the outside of the hall: "Bring a big bowl!"

After a while, two maids walked in again, one holding two large bowls in one hand and the wine jar in the other.

Gu Wen'an has been in Baifengzhai for many years, and he has long been infected with the habits of Jianghu people, although he still has a literati style on weekdays. But after two glasses of wine, he had already revealed the true colors of the three masters of Baifeng Village, bent one leg, raised the wine bowl, and said heroically: "Come, Brother Qiu, do it!"

Qiu Ming also laughed, stood up, picked up the wine bowl, and said loudly: "Okay!! Don't get drunk!" After speaking, he brought the wine bowl to his mouth, and poured the big bowl of spirits like drinking water in one go.
