Chapter 5 A Few Confidants

The seven strings were held in Liao Gushi's hands.

The strings ran through the back of his hand, the ends falling softly like strands of hair on them.

Purple-black blood, thin seven ink lines on the back of his left hand, flowed, gathered, and dripped down.

His expression did not move.

The night is slightly cold.

The tip of Ying's resentful poison was softly pressed against Cang Shuilan's throat, and the slight force made the tip of the sword show a subtle arc, like a lover's soft tongue.

Liao Gushi asked, "What is this formula called?"

"It's a lot of water. ”

Cang Shuilan responded lightly, with a complicated, indescribable sadness in his eyes.

Liao Gushi said: "Well, I have an impression. This is the sixth form of the Seven Strikes of Yunshui. I heard Second Brother Shen say, your Yunshui Seven Strikes were created in battle with Zuo Youzheng, one of the eight demons of life and death in Sanssouci Hall, at the sword trial meeting nine years ago, and the results were immediate, and the victory against the enemy shook the world. His gaze became a little distant, as if looking back. After a pause, he continued: "Although this sixth form is powerful, I know that your seven blows of cloud and water, the strongest blow, are the seventh type of heaven and one side. ”

Cang Shuilan smiled: "What is the difference between strength and weakness if you can't make a move." Childe studied kendo intensively, and became a first-class master in a few years, not inferior to the big sword, and this battle was convincing. ”

Liao Gushi's eyes were painful: "When you came out of the fifth style, I was already struggling, and I knew that it would be difficult to take all the seven blows of your Yunshui, so I fought hard to get injured and greeted each other. ”

Cang Shuilan sighed lightly when he heard this.

Liao Gushi muttered to himself: "Famous flowers interpret words, apricot rain pear clouds, jade girls fly shuttles, unspoken and shocking, life and death, clouds and waters, the sky is different...... , Brother Cang's piano sound is elegant, which shows that the temperament is noble, and this cloud and water seven blows, soft and delicate, lingering and miserable, must imply a sad past, but clinging to the bitterness, the heart is involved, can not be freed, what is the help of things? ”

The breeze caressed, and the silver hair flew away, covering the shining tears on Cang Shuilan's face.

Liao Gushi put away the warbler's resentment, released the palm of his left hand, and withdrew from the strings inch by inch, leaving seven small holes in his palm, and the blood flowed more rapidly, Jing Lingyu hurriedly ran over and tore off his clothes to bandage his wounds, Liao Gushi's face was expressionless and indifferent, as if she was doing something that had nothing to do with her.

Suddenly, one person said: "The way of the sword is humanity, and you can know your heart by the sword, wouldn't it be good for the two of you to stop and be confidants and friends?"

It was Chang Sihao who spoke.

Liao Gushi was stunned for a moment and muttered: "The way of the sword is humanity...... You can know your heart by the sword!

Cang Shuilan clapped his hands and said: "Well said! Cang Mou has always believed that knowing people, knowing faces, and not knowing hearts is a good word for the ages, and the Xiangshan monks have poems: Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and not usurped. Xiang Zhi died at that time, and who knows the truth of his life! However, he forgot that it was the sigh of ordinary people, the way of the sword is humane, the avenue is connected, all of them are the same, and the words of people are fake, but the sword cannot be fake! Liao Gongzi, now looking at all the people in the Hundred Swords Alliance, there are indeed some people, or they are scheming, obsessed with drilling, or befriending the government, and they are full of ugliness, and none of them seem to be friends and respectable people, but in fact, they have not personally tried the sword, how can they see their true nature? Ordinary people, whether father and son, brothers, Husband and wife, accompany each other for a lifetime, how intimate, it is difficult to know each other's hearts, my generation can reach the meaning of the sword, and know the heart by the sword, isn't it fortunate!"

Chang Sihao smiled: "That's great, don't fight anymore." ”

Cang Shuilan smiled and said: "Cheng Liao Gongzi spared my life, can Cang still be stubborn and can't fight anymore? Don't say it's beating, and you're ashamed to die! This brother, your kung fu is also very handsome! Could it be that Qin Wuye's son is absolutely loud?" He saw the concern in Gu Weixin's eyes, one of the four masters of the Qin family, like a servant serving the master, he expected that he must be a relative of the Qin Mansion, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knew that the Qin family only had the incense of Qin Juexiang, so he naturally guessed his head.

Chang Sihao wanted to bow his hand, only to find that he was still carrying the two legs in his hand, and he kept holding them when watching the battle, and he forgot about it. Hurriedly threw it aside and said, "No, my name is Chang Sihao." "Thinking about the relationship between myself and the Qin family, it is really embarrassing, it is difficult to speak, and it is inconvenient to say it for a while.

Jing Lingyu smiled on the side and said: "He's embarrassed, I'll say it for him, Brother Cang, don't underestimate this little black, he is the master of the Qin family in Shanxi!"

One sentence made Chang Sihao's face flushed. Cang Shuilan was stunned for a moment, and then understood, thinking that he had seen Qin Juexiang a few years ago, he was not too careful, and vaguely remembered that he had a pair of small willow leaf eyes, which should not be so dark, but the young man developed too fast, everything was difficult to say, but he didn't expect to admit it. smiled: "It turned out to be the son-in-law of the Qin Mansion, no wonder he was so good, as soon as he made a move, he beat my Bailongin into a thousand holes." ”

Chang Sihao was ashamed: "Offended." ”

Cang Shuilan laughed: "It's okay. Your Excellency uses human legs as a sword, and his shot is as blazing as fire, opening and closing the atmosphere, not strong and majestic, and he is open-minded. Chang Sihao thanked him.

Liao Gushi said: "Brother Chang helped my sister get rid of the roundup in the past, and today he saved my life. Chang Sihao hurriedly waved his hand: "Just in time, you can do something, what kind of kindness is it?" His heart flickered: "If you can get the help of a master like him, it would be one more reinforcement to go to Dongchang to save the little boy, but now to make this request, I am afraid that he will think that he will repay his kindness, which is always bad." ”

Cang Shuilan smiled and said, "Childe, today Cang is the main host, how about we go and have a few drinks?"

Liao Gushi said: "Since my brother left the alliance, he has not drunk a drop of wine. ”

Cang Shuilan said: "Since you call yourself a brother, you recognize me as a brother, why are you afraid that your brother will get you drunk and be arrested and returned to the alliance?"

Liao Gushi's eyes flashed with warmth, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you want to get your brother drunk, it's hard to be afraid." The three of them laughed, and when the Yuanbu swordsmen saw this situation, they all felt incredulous, and they all shouted: "Cang Shuilan, do you want to betray the alliance!" Cang Shuilan turned his head and said: "Everyone in the Yuanbu Cang Group listened, cleaned up the battlefield, and returned to the alliance to report to Chief Luo on my behalf, just say that I, Cang Shuilan, have withdrawn from now on and am no longer a member of the Hundred Swords Alliance." The swordsmen were extremely surprised when they heard this, but they were already powerless to deal with a Liao Gushi, and they had no chance of winning to capture Cang Shuilan, so they were all stunned in place.

The lanterns hanging high on the guest building are full, and the nightlife of the largest restaurant in Taiyuan City has just begun.

This restaurant is naturally also the property of the Qin family, and as soon as the guy saw Gu and tasted the new, he knew how to arrange it, brought in a few people through the side door, applied wound medicine, changed out the bloody clothes, and cleaned up the blood stains on the piano for Cang Shuilan. Liao Gushi's hands were also re-bandaged and replaced with a clean white cloth. Within half a cup of tea, everything was cleaned up, and several people were already sitting in the private room on the third floor.

This private room is in the Korean style, full of exoticism, the ground is high, the floor is covered with thick solid wood, there is a low table in the middle of the room, there are embroidered cushions on both sides of the green mat, the room is burned with good aromatherapy, the smell is quiet, and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall are not famous treasures, but they also add some interest to this room.

Although it is Cang Shuilan who treats guests, Chang Sihao is respected as the master, sitting in the right position of the opposite door, Cang Shuilan sits cross-legged on the right, white hair hangs down his waist, Liao Gushi is on the left, Jing Lingyu is sitting next to him, and he is in love.

The tea was withdrawn, the wine and food were put down, and Gu tasted the new self-esteem as a servant of the Qin family, and withdrew from the outdoor waiting. Jing Lingyu asked about the aftermath, Liao Gushi said that he was defeated in the forest, and he looked for her along the road after defeating Shen Yuan, and came to the temple at night to spend the night, not wanting to explore the clues for Cang Shuilan early, so he was surrounded. Jing Lingyu complained: "You stubborn man has an unkind temper, knowing that I am in the Qin family, how can I go to the temple to spend the night? Cang and Chang looked at each other and smiled.

Liao Gushi staggered the topic and said: "Brother Cang's fate is difficult to disobey, the younger brother is just to retreat, how can the position of the Ten Musketeers of the Yuan Department of the Hundred Swords Alliance be easy to get, why should Brother Cang withdraw from the alliance?"

Cang Shuilan smiled faintly: "I didn't withdraw from the alliance for you. Hehe, you broke the knot in my heart, and I suddenly realized......" he exhaled, "the past cannot be traced! Looking at the grass and trees in the alliance every day, alas...... It's good to be able to forget about her in the rivers and lakes, or not. Although Chang Sihao, Liao Gushi and Jing Lingyu didn't know who "she" he was, they could guess a rough idea of what he looked like he was looking at, and they had their own thoughts for a while. Chang Sihao thought to himself: Yin'er likes that Xiao Jinyue, isn't it the same as him?

Jing Lingyu said with a depressed look in his eyes: "If there is someone who thinks about me like this, it will not be in vain to live this life." Liao Gushi said: "Xiaoyu, talking crazy again, it's a big girl, and I don't know how to be ashamed!" Jing Lingyu rolled her eyes: "There is such a person who is good to me, it's too late for me to be happy, what are you ashamed of?"

Cang Shuilan laughed: "Don't worry, you are so beautiful and liked, someone will think of you and love you in the future." Jing Lingyu snorted: "I'm liked, but it's not just because I'm beautiful." The three of them were stunned. Cang Shuilan asked, "Brother Liao, how does the injury feel?"

Liao Gushi said: "It's okay to have it on your back, but on your hands, it'll be fine after a while." Brother Cang doesn't have to worry. ”

Cang Shuilan's face was ashamed: "My brother was injured, it was Cang's crime, and he punished himself with three cups." As he spoke, he poured three glasses of wine and drank it with his head up.

Jing Lingyu squinted and smiled: "Since you are hungry for wine, you can just drink it, why do you need to make a name?"

Cang Shuilan smiled lightly: "I knew that you girl is eccentric, she will definitely make trouble, I hurt your cousin, you can't spare me, then you say, how should I be punished?"

Jing Lingyu said: "Then you also stretch out your hand and try to tie a few holes." Liao Gushi said: "Xiaoyu! Don't be rude!" Cang Shuilan smiled lightly: "Blood for blood, it should be, it is not something that three glasses of wine can pass." As he spoke, he pressed his left hand on the table, and his right hand stood like a vertebrae, and stabbed downward.

Liao Gushi shouted "No!" with one palm to intercept, Cang Shuilan shot out with him, and said: "Don't block me!" The two shot like electricity, and dismantled a few moves in a hurry, Chang Sihao saw that the situation was not good, saw the opportunity, probed with both hands, and grabbed the wrists of the two, the three of them competed, Huo Di stood up, Cang and Liao said: "Don't care!" Before the words fell, Chang Sihao only felt that the two energies came along his arms, and hurriedly sank his shoulders and loosened his hips. The two of them urged again, but they were easily passed away by Chang Sihao, and their wrists were held loosely and tightly by him, and they didn't move at all.

Both of them had a look of surprise on their faces, and Chang Sihao said: "Since you know your heart, why bother with a crippled limb?

Cang Shuilan shouted: "Ashamed! Admire!" I am ashamed to say that I am confined to normal feelings, but I am admiring Chang Sihao's martial arts. Liao Gushi's arm also loosened, and Chang Sihao let go of the two.

Liao Gushi said: "Brother Cang, how can children's jokes be taken seriously, the three of us don't know our hearts, what is the small injury of my brother." Turning to Jing Lingyu and said, "Look at how dare you talk nonsense again!" Jing Lingyu stuck out his tongue and smiled on his face, but he didn't look like he was taking it seriously. said: "Brother Cang's heart, the big guys know it, but this kind of behavior looks like gambling with a little girl, which is inevitably ungraceful." Cang Shuilan's face turned red, and he said: "Ashamed, ashamed!"

Chang Sihao smiled: "You have a demeanor, why do you want people to poke holes in your hands?" Jing Lingyurao is a clever ghost, and he can't help but be speechless when he asks this, but he doesn't care, he grinned, and it's over, a girl's family, who can care too much about her?

The three of them smiled and sat back, Liao Gushi remembered something and asked, "Brother Cang, you said that Second Brother Shen is dead, and you said that he was killed by me, what is going on?"
