"Water will make you colder the more you drink it, wine will make you warmer the more you drink it, I'm honest!"
In Miaojiang, the Qijingmen built by Le Shenzi is located on a mountain 900 meters above sea level. It has three main halls, four walls and white clouds. It is magnificent. Standing in any position, you can overlook the prosperous city in the distance. It is quite royal. Feeling like the world, Bai Gou Sheng was sitting on the stone lion at the door, grabbing a wine jar and pouring home-brewed medicinal wine and said indifferently:
"It's just that I'm not drunk here!"
After the incident in Zangcheng, Bai Gou Sheng came to Miao territory from Hengmen, the capital, to intimidate and monitor the restless three religions and nine streams for Zhao Heng. Thirty-six ethnic groups gathered here, the folk customs were strong, they fought fiercely all the year round, and the barbarians and weirdos were even more numerous. They are countless, and the mountains are difficult to control, and the official power is relatively weak. It has always been a troublesome area for China.
Although the Chinese government suppressed all ethnic groups when they destroyed Le Shenzi, due to the intrigues of Nan Changshou and others at that time, the Chinese army did not achieve a once and for all effect. After the army withdrew from the Miao territory, the thirty-six ethnic groups intensified their efforts. One fight every three days, and one fight every five days. There was a big war in the world, and bigwigs from various ethnic groups often went to war to expand their territory. As a result, pornography, gambling, and drugs became rampant.
When Bai Goucheng came to Miao Territory, it was the time when the fighting here was at its peak. His entry immediately attracted the attention of all ethnic groups. Although many people knew that he was Zhao Heng's general and that he represented the official in Miao Territory, they He didn't take him too seriously, so he scorned Bai Goucheng's request to live in harmony, and the various races still went to war from time to time.
Even the envoys sent by Bai Gou Sheng to mediate were beaten so badly that they almost couldn't come back.
Faced with the chaos of the people and the contempt of Hengmen's authority, Bai Goucheng didn't say anything. He took the defeated Qijingmen as a foothold and used the fifty Zhao family elites he brought to stabilize his position. , he used poisonous techniques to kill eighteen notorious demons one after another, eliminating in one fell swoop the most ferocious scum in Miao territory who had committed countless crimes.
Although the cronies of the slain demon leader were loyal enough and united with each other to eradicate the remaining hundreds of dogs for revenge, they also organized 300 die-hard loyalists to attack the Qijing Gate at night, but more than 200 people were killed before they could reach the mountain. It was not because of poison. Poison killing means being bitten to death by poison. In the end, there were only thirty-seven people standing in front of Bai Gou Sheng, but no one dared to kill Bai Gou Sheng.
The tragedy along the way has already destroyed their ferocity.
They knelt down in front of Bai Goucheng and surrendered. They were even willing to join the Qijing Sect as odd jobs to make up for their mistakes. Bai Goucheng kept them out of manpower needs and at the same time recruited disciples through them. Within three months, the Qijing Sect was established. With eight hundred descendants, Qijing Gate, which was almost in ruins in the past, was rebuilt with dozens of buildings, and Bai Gou Sheng also changed the name of the gate.
The three characters "Qijingmen" were thrown into the garbage dump of history, and the three characters "Baihuamen" were cast on the big stone tablet at the door!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, but has a majesty.
At this moment, Han Jian was leaning under the big stone monument, holding a jar of wine and calling out to Bai Gou Sheng. When he heard Bai Gou Sheng's words, he smiled kindly but said nothing. Bai Gou Sheng smiled slightly when he saw him. The disciples who bowed in salute nodded, and then cast their eyes on the face of Han Jian, who was dressed in rich clothes: "No matter how awesome I am, I can't make you drunk!"
"The wine in your hand can only quench your thirst and relieve your boredom. It cannot make you forget anything you have done before like in Dongxiexidu."
At this time, it was already the depth of winter, and a chill began to flow throughout the entire country of China. Qijingmen, located on the border, was even covered with mottled frost and snow. Although both of them were wearing winter clothes, the chill continued to pass through their bodies. Gou Sheng picked up the wine jar and took a sip: "And haven't you gotten over your broken love a long time ago? What's even more enviable is that you have the love of a princess!"
"What else do you need to drink to drown your sorrows?"
Bai Gouchang's understatement put a hint of melancholy on Han Jian's face. He seemed to think of Le Jing, who was far apart, and of Fabema who was about to marry him. Just as Fabema said at the beginning, the Dubai royal family Xiang Heng Zhao Heng was very supportive of the marriage proposal, but he did not force Han Jian to marry Fabema and gave the initiative to Han Jian.
Han Jian has never been a person who likes the new, dislikes the old, and covets beauty. Although he and Le Jing have separated, and although he is moved by Fabema's love, he still has a tangle in his heart. This is not because he still fantasizes about getting back together with Le Jing, but He didn't know whether he loved Fabema or not, and he couldn't get his inner confirmation. He was worried that the union between the two would not go far.
If he and the Princess of Dubai get married purely for profit and goodwill, without emotional basis to maintain their close relationship, they are likely to part ways in the future, so Han Jian finally asked Fabema to give him some time to think about it, return to the capital, and relax for the time being. Han Jian, who was looking for answers to the wedding, took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Miao territory to help Bai Gou Sheng stabilize the situation.
Today, he chatted with Bai Goucheng about this incident: "I don't know whether I love her or not!"
Bai Goucheng smiled faintly when he heard this: "Maybe you don't have feelings for her yet, but Fabema should love you very much, otherwise she wouldn't propose marriage to Hengmen. Although we are brothers, we have to admit that her marriage to you is considered a blessing. Condescend, with her beauty, skills and family background, what kind of man can¡¯t she marry? She also takes the initiative to propose marriage, how rare is this humbleness? "
When Han Jian sighed and felt helpless, Bai Gou Sheng poured another sip of strong wine to drive away the chill: "A princess shows love to you and is willing to go anywhere with you regardless of worldly opinions and regardless of the age gap. What else are you dissatisfied with?" ? I think it would be cruel if you reject her! I don¡¯t mean to criticize Le Jing, but I want to say that the princess is more pure than her!"
Bai Gouchang, who had always known Han Jian to protect Le Jing, rubbed his head and said: "It should be said that a princess who has no worries about money pursues something more pure, true and simple, and you are also a simple and generous person, so you are very suitable. I believe you will be happy together!" At this point, he frowned slightly: "Is it possible that you still can't let go of Le Jing?"
"You do not understand!"
Han Jian shook his head gently at Bai Goucheng, with a wry smile on his face: "I can really deal with Le Jing calmly. What I am struggling with is my relationship with Fabema. I don't know what attracted her to me and made her fall in love at first sight. , but I only have a good impression and affection for her, and there is still a little bit of love between her and me. It is easy for me to marry someone, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to stick to my original intention!"
"What if I don't have any feelings for her in two or three years? Wouldn't that be a disservice to others?"
Han Jian habitually thinks about others: "She is so young, so beautiful, and has a good family background. If I fail her, I will have no peace of mind in this life. Although I want to ensure that she is happy, my heart may not think so. , so I always need some time to think about it. Only when I think about it clearly can I face this emotion calmly!"
"It doesn't matter if I suffer, but I can't ruin someone else's future!"
Bai Goucheng's smile faltered slightly, and then there was a hint of disappointment on his face, as if he felt the same. Han Jian also caught his expression, hesitated for a moment but didn't say much, and then smiled generously: "Okay, don't do it for me either. Worry, I will handle the matter between myself and Fabema, and even if I am indecisive, Mr. Heng will take care of it for me in the end!"
¡°It¡¯s just nonsense to talk to you about this over a drink!¡±
When Bai Gou Sheng nodded and restrained his melancholy, Han Jian twisted his neck and left the stone tablet: "By the way, what is the situation in Miao territory now? You destroyed the eighteen demons with thunder, and then used the black and white forces to destroy them. He killed hundreds of scum and recruited disciples to establish the Hundred Flowers Sect with nearly a thousand disciples. The situation should be great, so how could he tell Mr. Heng that the situation was tense?"
Bai Gou Sheng took a sip of strong wine, stood up and looked at the mountain in front of him and said: "Although this is a no-no-no zone, it doesn't mean that it is really leaderless. Even though I killed hundreds of notorious elements, the Miao border area was completely leaderless." This place has regained some peace, but I still can't completely control all the forces, and their eyes are still on the other side of the mountain!"
Han Jian frowned: "King Miao?"
He had done some homework before coming here and knew that in addition to the three religions and nine streams in the Miao territory, there was also a deep-rooted clan leader named Meng Tuguang, who was known as the Miao King. There are conflicts between the forces of all parties, but he does not get involved in too many interest disputes, but he also does not allow others to offend his interests.
Looking at the current situation, the one who can give Bai Goucheng a headache is probably Meng Tuguang.
A flash of approval flashed across Bai Gou Sheng's face, and then he nodded slightly in response: "That's right! In the past, Le Shenzi was planning to build the mountain gate here. In addition to the convenience of using local materials, he also suppressed various ethnic groups for the government, especially the surveillance. Meng Tuguang, the rebellious gene, Le Shenzi is a smart man, he is not without the strength to get rid of the Miao scum and even eradicate the Miao king!"
"He knows the coexistence of cats and mice!"
Bai Gou Sheng explained the way of survival for Le Shenzi: "If all the scum and scum in Miao territory are eliminated, the role and value of the Qijing Sect will be reduced, and maybe there will be a rhythm of flying birds doing their best and hiding their good bows." , even though the four major families attach great importance to Le Shenzi, in fact, they are also deeply afraid of him. Poison King has always been a word that officials of all ages cannot tolerate."
When Han Jian pricked up his ears and listened quietly, Bai Gou Sheng added: "So in these years, Le Shenzi has only eliminated some demons and thieves who were too active or affected the Qijing Sect and the East Department, and did not do anything to the entire Miao Dynasty. The territory was cleansed and sorted out, and he also signed a non-aggression agreement with the Miao King to seek stability in Shiwandashan!"
"On the surface, he stabilized the Miao territory, but in fact, he condoned and fostered the expansion of evil forces."
"Twenty years"??, among the thirty-six tribes, there are only a few hundred people with criminal records. Now, there are not even ten thousand, but eight thousand! "
Han Jian was slightly surprised: "So many criminals?"
Bai Gouchang nodded slightly: "This is still a conservative figure. If you add in the small-time elements, the number will only double!" Then he changed the topic: "After the Qijing Sect was eradicated by Heng Shao, the underground order emerged. In the state of leaderlessness, the thirty-six tribes with no one to suppress them began to fight for power. In the past year, Miao territory has been full of swords and swords. "
"My appearance ended the chaos again and restored some stability to Miao territory!"
He pointed out the bottleneck of the current situation: "Whether it was during the period of Le Shenzi or during the melee between the parties, King Miao did not come out to make trouble. It was not because he was honest enough, but because he liked to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, and the interests of the clan could be obtained. Guarantee, before Le Shenzi gave enough policy green light, 60% of the ethnic aid funds went into Miaowang Village!"
Bai Gouchang rubbed his fingers against the cold wine jar: "When the thirty-six clans started a chaotic war, he could profit by mediating. As long as his status was not threatened and the clan was given sufficient benefits, he would not come out to cause trouble. But after I killed hundreds of thugs and decided to make Qijing Sect my final destination, King Miao became a little restless."
Han Jian hit the nail on the head: "He feels threatened by you?"
Bai Gou Sheng's lips curled up with a touch of teasing, he looked ahead and said calmly: "Yes, although we haven't had contact with him yet, he should have done some research on Hengmen and found that Hengmen did not come to Miao territory to make soy sauce like before. But to take root here, and think of Hengmen's Yiyantang in Xinjiang and Tibetan areas, the Miao King is obviously worried that his status will be shaken!"
Han Jian took a long breath and took over the topic softly: "It is inevitable that the two sides will collide. Heng Shao wants you to take charge of Miao Territory. What you want is absolute control over the Hundred Thousand Mountains. With his style and character, Miao Territory has only One voice is the voice of Hengmen. No matter how powerful King Miao is, he will either bow to Hengmen or be crushed into ashes in the future!"
"There is no third way to choose from. It is conceivable that King Miao would be anxious!"
He asked curiously: "Did King Miao do anything that harmed the interests of Hengmen?"
Bai Goucheng sighed: "He did not challenge me directly, nor did he instigate others to do it, but six of the Baihuamen disciples who went out were inexplicably poisoned when they came back, and they still got sick when they met me. Golden Silkworm, One of the three major poisonous poisons of the Miao people, although I rescued them, I can feel that the difficulty of rescue is increasing every time."
¡°The last person took eight hours!¡±
Han Jian frowned slightly, as if he could understand the meaning: "Do you think this is a message sent to you by the Miao King? The poison spell competition let you know who is the king? Or let you know that the Miao Village should not be underestimated? And then preserve his status and interests? After all, once you fail to detoxify, your confidence will be damaged, and the king of Miao territory will suffer the consequences."
Bai Gouchang smiled: "I'm afraid that's what Meng Tuguang means. I'm not worried that I can't detoxify, but I feel that it's too depressing to be in a passive position, and the children of Baihua Clan are always being used as experimental subjects, so I'm looking for someone to take my place." I'm sitting at the mountain gate, so I'll go shopping around Miaocheng Village and give Meng Tuguang a few greeting gifts, after all, courtesy must be reciprocated!"
¡°Taking the initiative is always the best defense!¡±
Han Jian smiled softly when he heard this, and then straightened his body slightly: "If you have enough confidence in me, I will come to guard the mountain gate for a few days. I can't guarantee that the Baihua Gate will be intact, but it will be there before you come back. I won't give you anything." Xiaoxiao's disciples can take advantage of this opportunity, but you have to be careful when you go to the Miaowang Village, those are guys with a bit of sorcery and are not easy to mess with."
There was a flash of worry in his eyes: "Although Heng Shao has a deterrent effect in the world pyramid, in the Miao territory, which is always in chaos, it is still a little short of the power. Moreover, many people are extremely vicious people. Once they are exposed, they will fight against each other." On the contrary, I am afraid that they will be so evil that they will die and everything will be broken. We are porcelain and cannot be touched."
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m measured!¡±
Bai Goucheng smiled and took a sip of wine, and spoke in a calm voice: "I just gave King Miao and others a meeting gift, and I have no intention of destroying King Miao's stronghold, so you don't have to worry about my personal safety at all, and now I As long as you don't want to die, you can definitely survive like a cockroach!" He smiled faintly: "With you here, I can go out for a few days without any worries!"
¡°You must come back safely!¡±
Han Jian gave Bai Goucheng a sincere look: "I believe in your ability and strength, but be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship!" He hesitated for a while, and finally said: "By the way, before I come to Miaojiang Last week, Miss Lin went to Hengmen to visit Mr. Heng with expensive gifts to thank him for his help and thank you for your life-saving grace. She wants to see you!"
"According to Mr. Heng, this is Lin Lingxin's third visit!"
When Han Jian said these things, his expression looked very struggling and entangled. Of course he knew Lin Lingxin's affection for Bai Gou Sheng, and he also knew that exposing this matter would only make Bai Gou Sheng more entangled. After all, it is a man's will to be inhumane. Hurt, but he also felt that things had to come to an end. Only by facing it bravely would Lin Lingxin's future not be delayed.
Bai Gou Sheng was slightly startled when he heard the words, and the hand holding the wine jar became stiff. He was not angry at Han Jian for showing the bloody reality, which made him no longer able to be an ostrich in the sand. He just kept silent for a while and took three sips of wine: "Why did she see me? I made it very clear last time when I threw away her flower basket. Everything was Master Heng's order."
"Without Master Heng's order, how could I save any goddess?"
When Han Jian came over and patted his shoulder gently, Bai Goucheng looked at the horizon in the distance and said lightly: "So she doesn't need to thank me at all. No matter it was a dog or a cat, I would have rescued him. Lin Lingxin wanted to repay her. Just repay Young Master Heng!" Then, he tilted his head slightly and asked: "Have you told her my whereabouts?"
A wry smile flashed across Han Jian's face, and he took up the topic softly: "With Master Heng's intelligence and thoroughness, how could he leak your traces? The other Hengmen disciples are not talkative, but Lin Lingxin is no better than ordinary people, she is a big star , you have a lot of friends, and you have made a big splash in Miao territory, so it will not be difficult for her to find out your whereabouts."
"Sooner or later, she will come to your door. Will you see her or not?"
Bai Goucheng lowered his head and remained silent, then sighed softly: "Take a step and see what happens!"
Han Jian also smiled playfully: "Actually, have you asked yourself in your heart? If she was poisoned now, without Heng Shao's instructions, would you save her?"
Bai Goucheng didn¡¯t answer aloud, but this silence was the best answer.
"such a pity,,,,"
When Han Jian drank all the wine in the jar and staggered back to the house to go to bed, Bai Gou Sheng put down the remaining half a kilogram of wine, then took out his mobile phone and touched it lightly, and opened a Weibo account with ease. The page was clean and tidy. Gorgeous, in the background is Lin Lingxin wearing a white hat and autumn clothes, with a sweet smile, intoxicating eyes, and lightly parted red lips, seductive.
Although it was not the first time he opened this Weibo account, nor was it the first time he saw Lin Lingxin¡¯s photos, Bai Gou Sheng couldn¡¯t help but feel soft when he saw her charming and pretty face. His indifferent expression still had a touch of tenderness. His eyes calmly scanned the familiar text and pictures on the page. Over the past six months, Bai Gouchang had become accustomed to opening Lin Ling's heart every day.
Rain or shine!
Look at the mood of the goddess Taiwan, look at her happiness, look at her sadness, or her grievance and loss. Although he doesn't want others to know his feelings for Lin Lingxin, he also tries his best to suppress the ripples in his heart, and he knows better that he and Lin Lingxin There would be no consequences for Lin Lingxin, but he still couldn't help paying attention to her, wanting to know how she was doing.
Bai Gouchang never thought about the union of the two. He just wanted to watch her from a distance and let her become a warm feeling in his heart.
It is strange to say that in the past six months, Lin Lingxin, who had only updated once a month or even several months, suddenly started playing Weibo crazily. She recorded her mood on Weibo every day, and rarely sent out a message. There are countless selfies praised by fans. Each selfie involves theater, party, party, or at home.
After 200 days of Weibo updates, Weibo added more than 600 photos and more than 300 texts, which recorded Lin Lingxin¡¯s life and work status in detail for half a year. It can be said that she is the first artist to update Weibo, but there are only so many texts. With so many photos, Bai Gouchang has always watched them quietly, paying peaceful attention, but without making any comments or giving a single like.
I even deleted my browsing history intentionally or unintentionally.
In the past six months, what moved Bai Gou Sheng the most was that afternoon in New Zealand, Lin Lingxin, who had taken some time off, was wearing a white floral dress and headphones, walking alone on a clean and tidy boulevard. , let go, daydream, let the sunshine pour in, the noon breeze blow, become the person in the scene, the outstretched slender left hand is slightly open.
"The wind continues to blow, I can't bear to stay away, my heart is very longing, I hope to stay with you"
"I advised you to go back early. You said you didn't want to go back, so you just asked me to hold you. The gentle sea breeze cooled the wildfire."
Bai Gouchang clearly remembered that the word on that day was called holding hands, and the song on that day was "The wind continues to blow". Looking at Lin Lingxin's white and smooth fingers, listening to Leslie Cheung's sad and sad singing, he put his hand up more than once, but was electrocuted. He usually left quickly, knowing that there would be no future between the two of them, but Bai Goucheng could never forget that shadow.
? ?At that moment, Bai Gou Sheng knew that he had been poisoned, an incurable love poison.
"Ding!"
Just when Bai Gou Sheng was looking at Lin Ling Xin's state in a daze yesterday, his Weibo automatically refreshed. This jump immediately made Bai Gou Sheng's eyes widen.
There are nine more wedding photos on Weibo, nine of Lin Lingxin¡¯s wedding photos. Each one is full of sweetness and charming smile.
There is also a line of small words below: I am married, I will not wait for you, and I will not update
¡°The wind continues to blow, I can¡¯t bear to stay away, my heart is very eager to stay with you!¡±
"The wind continues to blow, I can't bear to stay away, and there are tears in my heart, I don't want to look at you with tears!"
