Qiangmei's gathering point in Liuhe County is a wine shop.

On the ground, drunk and dreaming, lively and lively, people come and go, noisy and shouting, and there is a rather imposing bluestone dark room underground, supporting four pillars, carved with all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts. A black chair rests on the steps. Under the chairs, a dark red carpet is covered. There was no fire source in the entire bluestone dark room, but it was as bright as day. Just because, the walls are crawling with silver-white insects. Their bellies are round, only the size of soybeans, but they are white and exude a soft halo.

Si Shao sat on the chair and looked around at the more than 20 people who were kneeling on one knee with those unfocused eyes.

Everyone said in unison: "Meet the patriarch!" ”

The corners of Si Shao's lips slowly hooked a subtle arc, then put down his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please get up." ”

The people stood up, in two pairs, facing each other.

Si Shao stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, and said sonorously: "Back then, the high priest sent someone to slaughter my people, today, I cut off her finger and seriously injured her, I must let the world know that although there are few Qiang Mei people, their means can shake the sky!" Those who insult our people will be punished even if they are far away! ”

Everyone was enthusiastic, and they echoed loudly: "Those who insult my people will be punished even if they are far away!" Even if it is far away, it will be punished! Even if it is far away, it will be punished! ”

Si Shao nodded, raised his hand, and signaled everyone to be quiet. He sat back in his chair and said, "The elder did not listen to the persuasion and acted recklessly, causing serious casualties among the Qiang Mei people. However, he is dedicated to Qiangmei, which can be regarded as a dedication, and he can enter the main mausoleum after death. ”

Everyone nodded and praised, "The patriarch is merciful. ”

Si Shao said: "Heavy money to compensate the family of the deceased this time. Newly built houses are given priority to the families of the deceased. ”

Everyone was moved, and responded in unison: "No! ”

Si Shao asked, "Where is Gu Lan?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally an old man walked out and replied: "Patriarch Hui, Gu Lan was seriously injured and is recuperating in the backyard. ”

Si Shao asked, "Why was you injured?" ”

The old man replied, "I don't know. ”

Si Shao said: "Let's disperse." He said to the old man, "Uncle Gu, take me to see Gu Lan." ”

The old man replied, "No." ”

The old man Gu Bo led the way in front, and Si Shao followed closely behind when he heard the voice. The two of them came to the ground and went straight to the backyard of the liquor store.

Gu Bo said: "That kid went on a mission, and when he came out, he was injured." finally picked up a life, and asked him what was going on, but he refused to say. ”

Si Shao nodded.

The two entered the room, and Guber lit the candle.

Gu Lan was lying on the bed, her face was like gold paper, and her whole body was wrapped in strips of white cloth, oozing blood. Still, he was alert, and when he heard someone enter the room, he immediately pressed his hand on the handle of his sword. After seeing clearly that it was Gu Bo and Si Shao, he relaxed and called in a hoarse voice: "Young master, grandpa......"

Si Shao walked to the side of the bed and stretched out his hand to touch Gu Lan's head.

Gu Lan hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Si Shao's hand, slightly exerting force.

Si Shao snorted softly: "Well......"

Gu Lan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Si Shao said lightly: "I was slightly injured." ”

Gu Bo said proudly: "Xiaolan, the young master is now the patriarch. He seriously injured the High Priest and severed one of her fingers, avenging our Qiangmei! ”

Gu Lan frowned and said, "That high priest is not easy to deal with. You must have been seriously injured. Go and rest, and when I'm ready, I'll see you. He and Si Shao are childhood friends, and their friendship is extraordinary.

Everyone was complacent about the high priest being seriously injured, but Gu Lan was the only one who cared about how badly he had been injured.

Si Shao squeezed Gu Lan's hand tightly and said, "Uncle Gu, please get some hot water for Gu Lan to drink." ”

Gu Bo knew that Si Shao was trying to get rid of himself, of course, this was because he cared about Gu Lan, and Gu Lan's throat really needed to drink water to moisten it. Gu Bo responded knowingly, turned and walked out of the room, heading straight for the kitchen.

Although Gu Lan was weak, she smiled from the heart. "That's good," he said. You've finally become a patriarch. ”

Si Shao said eagerly: "Tell me, what happened?" There is an old lady in the elder's house, do you know where she is? ”

Gu Lan looked at Si Shao's eyes and thought, "The elder asked us to escort the old lady to Zhihua County, but on the way, we were stopped by the Red Lotus Sect and abducted the old lady. ”

Si Shao's eyes shrank, and he suddenly clenched Gu Lan's hand.

Gu Lan was in pain and frowned slightly.

Si Shao let go of Gu Lan's hand, stood up, and said angrily, "Can someone follow the Red Lotus Sect?" ”

Gu Lan said: "This time it is only me and Duozhi who will carry out the mission. He was also seriously injured. However, two masked men in black appeared, and it seemed that they were also going for the old lady. In the end, they were all taken away by the Red Lotus Sect. ”

Si Shao closed his eyes and clenched his fists to a creak, but instead of acting impulsively, he took a deep breath to ease his anger.

Gu Lan felt strange why an old lady was being scrambled by everyone, but he knew that he shouldn't ask these words. Si Shao was his childhood playmate, but he is also the patriarch of today. However, there are some things that he has been thinking about since he woke up.

Gu Lan was just about to speak, but heard Si Shao take the lead and ask: "Who else knows that the old lady is in the elder's place, besides you and Duozhi?" ”

Gu Lan was shocked by Si Shao's thoughtfulness, because this was a question that he had thought about for a long time. He immediately replied, "The elder said that this old lady is extremely important to Qiang Mei, let us be sure to protect her, and even woke us up in the middle of the night and let us set off overnight." From this point of view, the elder will not easily tell others about the old lady...... Ahem...... The importance of the old lady. ”

Si Shao continued: "This person who knows the existence of the old lady must not be an ordinary person. He thought, he already knew the answer. Ammy is a special existence, even if the elder wants to block the power, he can't hide it from Ammi.

Gu Lan said: "Once, I met two people at the elder's residence. ”

Si Shao was no longer interested in this topic, but he still listened.

Gu Lan continued: "Those two are very handsome, they look like brothers. When they saw me, they bowed their heads and walked away, as if they did not want me to see me. These two people, I have seen before, are the two brothers who live in the Tang family. In my opinion, these two people have a good relationship with the elders, and the patriarch may wish to check on these two people. Gu Lan suspected that it was Cheng Dongxing and Cheng Xixing who betrayed Qiang Mei.

Si Shao stood at the door, and after listening to Gu Lan's words, the fire in his heart could already burn the prairie fire. Cheng Dongxing and Cheng Xixing had attacked him and Hu Yan. At that time, he thought that these two were Hu Yan's other enemies. I never thought that those two people were Qiang charmers. Qiang Mei has been ruled by the elder for many years, and when he first took over, he will inevitably wade into the depths of the troubled waters, even if it is ...... Turning over the river and the sea!

Si Shao walked to Gu Lan's bed again, looked in Gu Lan's direction, and said, "Gu Lan, I need you to help me." ”

Gu Lan looked excited. He struggled to get up from the bed.

Si Shao stretched out his hand, pressed Gu Lan's shoulder, and said, "You lie down and don't move." Listen to me. ”

Gu Lan nodded and responded, "Okay." ”

Si Shao said: "Heal your injuries and help me prosper Qiangmei." ”

Gu Lan clenched his fists and said seriously: "Okay! ”

Si Shao didn't say anything else, just pressed Gu Lan's shoulder with a slight force, endured the pain in his chest, stood up, and walked out.

Gu Lan sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Patriarch?!" ”

Si Shao knew what Gu Lan wanted to ask, so he replied, "I'm going to find someone, maybe, another person." "The former is Hu Yan. If he couldn't find Hu Yan, he would go to find Amber. He guessed that it was Hu Mi who betrayed Qiang Mei and informed the Red Lotus Sect that Hu Yan had been kidnapped. Right now, he could only hope that the Redface Sect didn't know that the old lady was Hu Yan.

Si Shao walked out of the backyard step by step, stood at the door of the wine shop, and just took out the guide Gu and put it on the back of his hand, when he heard someone walking quickly towards him.

Gu Lan was wearing a navy blue short fight, holding a long sword, walked in front of Si Shao, and saw the guide Gu in his hand, only to feel a sour heart. Their young master of Qiangmei, who has been begging for a life under the enemy for more than ten years, is now back in charge of Qiangmei, but he doesn't even have a guide, and he needs to rely on a small insect to lead the way for him. Gu Lan's heart was very sour.

Si Shao said, "You go back and rest." With such a serious injury, how can you move around at will? ”

Gu Lan stood up straight, clenched the long sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The patriarch can walk if he is seriously injured, what reason does Gu Lan have to lie down and be lazy?" ”

Si Shao put away the guide Gu, smiled with money, and said, "Okay." ”

Gu Bo walked out of the darkness and said, "The patriarch has something, just give orders." The team leader let everyone disperse just now, presumably they didn't go far this time, why don't you gather them back? ”

Gu Bo is an old man with Qiang Mei, and his words have always carried some weight.

Si Shao nodded and said, "It's troublesome Gu Bo." ”

Gu Bo looked at Gu Lan, and when he saw that he insisted on following Si Shao, he sighed lightly in his heart, and he stopped thinking about something he shouldn't have. The Qiang Mei people were originally very united, but with the slaughter again and again, everyone had their own careful thoughts. The Five Elements Pupil, which had made them proud, became a reason for their panic. They are also ordinary people who want to live a comfortable life. However, they are always Qiang charmers, and they can't escape the curse of fate, and they can't help but obey the Five Elements Pupil.

Guber took out a small flute and played it. The little flute was only the size of a palm, and the sound it blew out was like the wind breaking through the teeth, and it could only make a popping sound. When you die, this voice is not for people, but for Gu.

After Gu Bo put down the flute, Si Shao asked, "Does Gu Bo know, where is Amber?" ”

Gu Bo pondered, "It's likely that Amber is living in the Elder's house. ”

Si Shao was worried about Hu Yan's safety, so he nodded and hurriedly said, "After Gu Bo gathered everyone, let everyone go to the elder's house to find me." ”

Gu Bo replied: "No! Instead, he said, "My flute can only serve as a notification." The elders have a flute that acts as a command. Since the patriarch went to the elder's house, he could send someone to search for it. The carriage has been prepared, and the patriarch is invited to go by car, so as not to bump the wound. ”
