Qin Juexiang thought that it would be difficult to make Xinlu emotional. I was irritable in my heart. Look at Nuan'er again. Then I felt the grass beside this nest. It's not interesting to chew. At that time, my hand was loosened. Drop her to the ground.

Nuan'er waited for a while. Seeing that he had a cold face, he didn't speak. Asked in a weak voice, "Brother Xiang'er." You don't want me anymore. ”

"to you. Qin Juexiang turned around and fell back into the chair. Shake your hands and yell, "Get out." ”

Nuan Er tugged at her lower lip. I saw that he tilted his head and did not look at himself. The eyes blinked a few times. Finally held back the tears. Slowly turn around and pick up the cotton curtain. He bowed his head and walked out silently.

Qin Jue snapped his fingers and moved. Tap on the armrest. He closed his eyes and let out a long breath. The smoke stirs up the sea in the brain. Separated by a gap. Look at the draping cotton curtains. He stood up suddenly. Take two steps and chase the curtain. Suddenly froze again. There was a ruthlessness in his eyes. Shook the curtain suddenly. He turned around and blew out the candles. Nor do they take off their clothes. Pour it on the couch and pull the quilt to sleep.

When I woke up, consciousness returned. I feel quite tired. Keep your eyes open. A faint morning light was already shining through the window paper.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of "Qi, Qi" outside. He was alert. As soon as I turned over, I sat up. Listen closely. The sound was gone again. He slowly pulled the handcuff out of his bosom. Touch the window. Pick up the curtains and look out. The courtyard was empty. There is nothing out of the ordinary. Gaze. Quietly returned to the door. Slam the door. Shoot out. At the same time as it comes out. Out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely felt that something was hidden under the window. The fire was flicked and was about to fire. But he was suddenly stunned. Said: "What are you doing here?" ”

Nuan'er was frightened by the sound of kicking the door. sat on the ground. Look, it's him. Wow cried out. The ring-shaped braid on the top of the head drooped. The two little hands were frozen as red as turnips.

Qin Juexiang looked vigilantly, and there were indeed no outsiders. He came over and kicked her ass with his toes: "You squatted here all night." ”

Nuan'er pulled his trouser leg and cried, "Brother Xiang'er." Nuan'er knew she was wrong. You scolded Nuan'er. Warm up. Don't be warm. Nuan'er won't make you angry anymore. Good no good. Her cheeks were frozen. Speaks in a strange voice. Ambiguous. Tears flowed.

Look at her like this. Qin Juexiang's heart felt like he had been scratched by a sharp claw. Lift your toes and put a kick on her shoulder. scolded: "You girl." Take everything seriously. I said no. I really don't want you. ”

Nuan'er was kicked and shaken. The back of his head almost hit the wall. but his heart was filled with joy. Qin Juexiang saw that her hands were red from the cold. I caught her and wanted to warm her up. One touch of both hands. The stubble-like coldness made him shrink suddenly. Nuan'er knew that the ice was on him. Hurriedly pull it back. Qin Juexiang suddenly remembered the prank he had played during the Chinese New Year before. At that time, I saw that she was fished out of the lotus washing pond. The face was white and hard from the cold. The body couldn't stop shaking. I was smug in my heart. But in the middle of winter, my whole body was soaked. Isn't it ten times more painful than being cold?

At this time, Nuan'er's nose is itchy and wrinkled. Hurriedly stretched out his sleeves and buttoned them on his face. There was a soft sound of "Qi". Sneezed. The tears on the cheeks and the tip of the jaw also shook off several ice beads.

She had a lot of snot in her sleeves. Ice wet slices. Qin Juexiang felt disgusted when he saw Deng. frowned, just about to scold. Suddenly understood: she was afraid of waking herself to sleep. So I sneeze all the night's sneeze in my sleeve. I can't help but feel hot in my heart. blurted out: "It's so warm." I don't want any of them in the future. It's up to you. "Gritted his teeth. He stretched out his hand again. Grab her by the hand.

There was a crackling sound in the street outside. It's early risers setting off firecrackers. Nuan'er's heart was also happy like a firecracker exploding. His body twisted. I can't pull my hand back. And he held it. Tears rolled down like broken beads. Qin Juexiang scolded: "Don't cry anymore." If you cry again, I'll suck you to death. Nuan'er was slightly startled. But look at him, he didn't really want to fight. Then he burst into tears and laughed: "Yes." Nuan Er is obedient. Never cry again. ”

Qin Juexiang carried her into the house. Stripped off his coat and stuffed it into his warm bed. Cover the corners. Move the charcoal stove closer. Leaned on the couch to lull her to sleep. Nuan'er got into the hot quilt with a cold body. The body is shaking. The two hands were pricked with needles, and it hurt and itched. And the heart is rejoicing. How can I sleep. I held on for a while. He whispered, "Brother Xiang'er." ”

Qin Jue said, "What are you doing?" Nuan'er didn't answer. Move your face closer. Rubbing obediently against his legs. Look up at him. And shy. I didn't dare to look at it for a long time. Glancing at it, it retracted. Separated by a gap. He called again: "Brother Xiang'er." Qin Juexiang said, "What are you doing?" She was silent again. And so on five times three times. Qin Juexiang was so angry. pinched her face and scolded, "What do you always tell me to do." Nuan'er's face was pulled sideways by him. Like a crab shell with two pointed ends. But he smiled sweetly and said, "Don't do anything." I just wanted to call you. I want to hear your promise. Qin Juexiang was so angry that he wanted to strangle her to death on the spot. He scolded: "A child is a child." He turned his head and stood up. Nuan'er suddenly said, "Ahhh Today is thirty. The General Altar will hold an annual meeting. The leader of the alliance must be present. I haven't told Brother Chang yet. "Struggling to get up. but was trampled on the face. Qin Juexiang said, "Little turtle." Sleep on yours honestly. "After that, he took off his official clothes and changed into casual clothes and left the house.

Nuan'er was lying under the covers. Touching the pillow where Qin Juexiang sat hot just now. Stick your face away. Pursed his lips and smiled. Something suddenly came to mind. Climb out of bed and find a bronze mirror. Sure enough, there was a curved shoe print on the face. She happily touched the edge of the shoe print. Whispered: "Brother Xiang'er...... Shh He sneezed again.

Qin Jue rang to the inner house and asked. I heard that Chang Sihao got up early and went to the palace. A frown furrowed. At this time, Ma Mingshao had already brought someone to pick him up. He waited for a while. I knew that I couldn't get out of the palace for a while. And I just gave up. With a wave of his hand. Lead people straight to the main altar.

Chen Zhibin, Jia Jiucheng, Xu Jiansan, Bai Shiying, and Cai Shengxin all changed into new clothes and greeted them with smiles at the gate of the main altar. As soon as I saw him coming. Hurry up and pay your respects. Qin Juexiang hugged him cordially. Say some comfort. Come into the hospital. I saw a red carpet in the middle of Yangping leading straight to His Royal Highness. Both sides were overcrowded. There are as many as 1,000 people who press stubble. There are no swords on his body. Mixed clothes. Generally black and white plain colors are more. Chen Zhibin waved his hand. Red scarves on both sides of the courtyard wall swing and drum music in unison. Qin Juexiang patted the red frost bottom Xiangjin Flying Flower Arrow sleeve on his body. Stabilized the gold thread coil on the head and clamped the crepe velvet scarf. Lift the mille-feuille bottom crow black velvet bow boots and walk in the middle. Left and right guarded by six gunners. Behind are Ma Mingshao, Chen Zhibin and the heads of the four factions.

The group made their way through the crowd. Walked on the red carpet to His Highness. The rest of the people are two points under the stairs. Formation of wing guards. Qin Juexiang went up the stairs alone and turned his back. Face the crowd. Two-armed eagle open. The drums stopped. The audience was full of solemnity.

His gaze slowly fanned over everyone's faces. The face is sad and gloomy. He raised his breath and said, "Everyone." This is about to pass the year. It has been the most difficult and dark year since the founding of our League. Just five days ago. A sudden disaster. We have lost twenty-seven swordsmen, three commanders, and ten great swords of the Zheng Alliance, Jing Director, and the Sword Cultivation Hall. They are the pillars and backbones of the alliance. It is our beloved teacher and most beloved relative. Their departure. It was a great loss to the League. It is also our eternal pain. ”

The heroes and swordsmen listened silently. Most of them are expressionless. A few squinted eyes stared at his clothes. Qin Juexiang stretched out his sleeves and wiped them slightly on his cheeks. immediately showed an angry look: "Erluo colluded with Liao Gushi. Stealing the records of the Sword Cultivation Hall. Burn down the secret books of martial arts stored in the hall. Murder the other Eight Great Swords and Old Xu Swordsman. Vainly trying to seize the position of alliance leader. The secret of the plan, the poison of the means. Make somebody's blood boil. Fortunately, the sky has eyes. They died and were defeated. But this thing. But it sounded the biggest alarm bell for the alliance. Due to the application of the wrong decision of the sword selection method. So that the profound martial arts are concentrated in the hands of a few people. This gives the conditions to some conspirators and people with ulterior motives. The fate of the Hundred Swords Alliance is in the hands of a few. Those who have the heart to learn have no way out. People like Erluo can rely on their status in the alliance. Favoritism. Get away with murder. This made the sword family ashamed and the alliance ashamed. It also violated the true intention of Wei Lao's swordsman to create the alliance back then. ”

The heroes have also heard Xu Jiansan, Bai Shiying and others say these words. There's a lot more detail than that. Therefore they were still silent.

Qin Juexiang turned around as he spoke. Let people from different angles see their front. The voice became more impassioned: "Everyone may play martial arts and learn swords in Huijian Villa." Or be responsible for the operation of various industries inside and outside Beijing. It is with your strong support at the bottom. It is only in the league that we have today's atmosphere and today's prosperity. But in comparison. Everyone is giving too much. But what you get is too little. In light of this. The league must make a radical change. This is the first change. He pointed diagonally to the sky. Loud up. "It's about selecting the test sword. It was changed to inclusive lectures. Let everyone have a fair chance to progress. The second. It is to sort out and count all the industries under the alliance. The nuclear shares are evenly distributed. Opportunity. Everyone has a share. Later. League. It's everyone's. ”

As soon as this statement came out. The audience was full of uproar. Most people like to be in shape. There are also some people who are dissatisfied. After a moment of fuss. An old man in the west shouted loudly and suppressed his voice. He shouted, "This is not appropriate. Evenly distributed. Big unreasonable. The crowd fell silent. Someone said: "Wang Lao chivalrous." You have been a member of the League for more than 30 years. I think I have no merit and hard work. Feel evenly distributed. Make yourself as much as the young man who has just joined the alliance. It's a big loss. Isn't it. The old man snorted heavily. And he didn't answer. He seemed to ignore the young man. Obviously, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence. Suddenly, a shrill voice said, "Old man Wang." You still dare to boast about how many years you have been in the Union. The night pot of the Tang Dynasty is also ashamed. Let's 'Changlianxiang' Buzhuang. Every year there is a big deficit. It's all made by you eating, drinking, and having fun. As for your smuggling of goods. and not to report to the League. Everyone's not blind. It's all in my heart for you. ”

As soon as these words came out. Immediately, someone shouted: "Liu Daxia is right." Wang Lao Chivalrous. You're old. Everyone is not disrespectful. But business has to be done. Last month, I collected the money I owed to you. Every stroke is in the book. I don't believe it, let Premier Qin investigate. Don't say we're not kind. "There are two people to start with. Immediately, a group of people around them all started to criticize: "Yes. Right. He relied on his relationship with Mr. Tong. Otherwise, it would have been cleared out long ago. "Exactly. "Some of them want to get up and do it. The old man was furious. The thick neck argued with a red face.

Xu Jiansan made a face and said loudly: "Don't say it." ”

Those people were a mess. It's still unclear. Suddenly, I heard a "Okay." "There was a thunderclap in the middle of the court. It was buzzing in my ears. When looking sideways. That sound was actually made by Qin Jue. No one would have thought that he would have such skills at such a young age. Looking at Xu Jiansan, Bai Shiying, and Jia Jiucheng, their faces are not upright. Shut up. Shoulder back into place. Qin Juexiang froze and froze. Only then did the willow leaf eyes close slightly. He slowed down and said, "Since everyone has joined the alliance. It's a family. I believe. Anything can be said. Anything can be solved. The five fingers are not usually long. Not to mention thousands of people, thousands of faces. Today is the thirtieth anniversary of the Chinese New Year's Eve. It's the last day of the year. The alliance will also welcome a new beginning. Old accounts from the past. Grievances. can be written off. But from now on. There are also traitors. Immediate punishment is not slackened. ”

The old man's face twitched a few times. Slowly lower your head. The rest of the original dissatisfaction. There was no sound either.

Qin Juexiang waved his hand. Ma Mingshao slapped his hands twice. The door of the Great Hall slowly opened. The two teams walked out with lacquer plates in hand. The red envelopes on the plate are piled up into small hills. Qin Juexiang smiled and said, "There are no gifts for the New Year. Therefore I sealed a hundred taels of silver for each of you. A little caution. The right to cover up the shame. The sound came from far away in Jinzhong. Not much. We look forward to your understanding. There are also some small red envelopes. It will be assigned by Ma Mingshao later. Please take it back. Responsible for distributing to the brothers in the alliance. ”

The group of heroes were moved when they heard this: the Hundred Swords Alliance in order to realize the ideals of the sword family. There's a lot to do. A lot of money is needed everywhere. It is the industry under the alliance that is abundant. From the master of Zheng Meng, the chief of the three departments to the swordsmen. Weekdays are extremely frugal. Those who are responsible for the management of various industries. In addition to maintaining the necessary expenses. Profits are also handed over almost in full. Life is not easy. There are many knights from all over the world in Huijian Villa. In order to learn a little more martial arts. All of them pull relationships and routines. You even have to put money into it. Ten taels of silver is enough for a family of five to eat for a year. One hundred taels is not a "little heart". Now there are nearly 1,000 people present. Qin Juexiang paid out of his own pocket. One hundred taels per person. It's a hundred thousand pieces of silver. The atmosphere of its shot. It's unbeatable. And today's people are all in the middle of the league. If everyone in the alliance below has a red envelope, they can take it. Again, a lot of money. It seems that the Qin family is famous for being a huge rich man in Jinzhong. It's really half a point. At the moment, I looked at the tray in the hands of those people. The vast majority were overjoyed.

Qin Juexiang was in no hurry to distribute it. said: "My Qin family has a deep friendship with the Hundred Swords Alliance. There are a lot of people here. I have known my grandfather and uncle for a long time. Let's talk about it. I'm coming to Beijing this time. I came to receive the imperial title. By the way, I came to the alliance to visit the leader of the Zheng League and the uncles. I don't want to catch up with such a tragedy. As a result, he was ordered to be in danger. I took over the stall with my eldest brother. But. I am only the chief director of the Hundred Swords Alliance. After the New Year, everything is settled. It is also necessary to organize conference affairs. Separate talents will be selected to take over. If you have a good candidate. You can report it in advance. Let me make a shortlist. ”

The heroes were surprised when they heard it. Cai Shengxin hurriedly stepped out of the column and bowed down and said: "If there is no Chang Alliance Lord and Prime Minister Qin, the situation will be turned around. Our alliance has been destroyed in the hands of Erluo. You just said that. The Qin family and the Hundred Swords Alliance were no exception. You are also the nephew of Lord Zheng Meng. He is also his personal disciple. How can you abandon the Sword Alliance? I'd like to hear from you just now. It's like lighting a lamp in your heart. Only then did I know that there was an accident in the alliance. It has its far-reaching roots and long-term accumulation. Moreover, the two methods you proposed completely solved the long-standing shortcomings of our alliance. A bright future is pointed out for the alliance. You can see that you are looking ahead. Good at insight. The knowledge is far beyond me. If you don't have to do it, you're going to do it. Who else can we count on? ”

Qin Juexiang shook his head. Said slowly: "I said those two. It's just suggestions and opinions. As for whether it can be implemented. It also depends on the wishes of all of you. and do not do the prime minister's business. But it doesn't matter much. ”

Bai Shiying came out and said: "What Premier Qin said is thought-provoking. The two mentioned items hit the nail on the head. Guiding new students. I, the whole faction of Songshan, raised their hands to support and resolutely implement. Ladies and gentlemen. What do you say? Xu Jiansan hurriedly said: "What Master Bai said is extremely true. Our faction also fully supports Prime Minister Qin. At the moment, the disciples of Mount Tai, Songshan, and Hengshan all echoed in unison.

Qin Juexiang sighed: "This is embarrassing. The sound is an official body. Fear of objections. Second, he is young. A poor man's tale cannot be heard. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public. But I have an idea: I want to think when the old swordsmen of Wei gathered to gather the sword. It was the first view of the Huashan faction to break the door first. Come and respond. Now the Huashan faction's Jamber Bird is well-written. The popularity is also high. Not to mention martial arts. A while ago, I heard the old swordsman Xu say that he wanted to transfer him to the main altar. took over the presiding over the Sword Cultivation Hall. But this is the case in the league now. I can't care about that much. Why don't you ask him to be the prime minister. Take care of these idle things although vulgar him. But. I believe that Uncle Jia's character is open-minded. I can always avoid troubles. Accept it. ”

Jia Jiucheng said with a smile: "The prime minister is too high-minded. I really don't dare to be it. In fact, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers. Premier Qin is extremely smart. Insight is far above us. This trip saw through the Erluo conspiracy again. Turn the tide on the tide. There is a great credit to the Sword Alliance. There is no reason for everyone to be unconvinced. As for officialdom. It's a big umbrella that shelters from the wind and rain. It is also beneficial and harmless to our alliance. What else is there to be afraid of. But if you blindly take yourself as an outsider. I'm afraid that it will chill everyone's hearts. ”
