Chapter 260(1/2)
Qi Ling was confident and talked with Pang Long, but this fact was in danger. He was completely using his life to fight for wealth and glory. In the end, Pang Long still said that he had to consider it for a while.
When he returned to the wooden house where he lived, Pang Long picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth.
After drinking a few big sips of wine, Pang Long smashed the wine jar back on the table and wiped his mouth casually, "Second brother, you have more knowledge than me, what do you think?"
Han Jiang sat quietly opposite Pang Long, lowered his head and thought, and did not speak for a while.
Pang Long was not in a hurry and just sat opposite him and waited.
Han Jiang is different from Pang Long. Pang Long served as a soldier back then, but later he was injured and retired from the army and returned home. Because the court had never suffered any disaster for Rongcheng Town, Pang Long looked at his increasingly hungry neighbors and his wife and children, and furiously led the whole village to become bandits. Later, he gathered the people of other surrounding villages and gradually formed the powerful Qingyun Village.
Han Jiang was born in an ordinary wealthy family and went all the way to the imperial examinations. Logically speaking, he already had the reputation of a scholar and would not end up in such a situation.
But because the county magistrate coveted his wife's beauty, he finally arrested him and his parents in prison with false charges. Han Jiang escaped by chance and was caught by Pang Long when he passed by Rongcheng.
Because Han Jiang himself was a bit scheming and wise, he settled in Qingyun Village and became sworn brothers with Pang Long, becoming the second in command and military advisor of the village.
The difference in the situation of the two people leads to one being not keen on power and only thinking about living a stable life, while the other is very clear about the importance of power.
After a moment of silence, Han Jiang poured a few sips of wine into his throat and looked up and said, "Brother, let's... have sex with them."
"Qi Ling's child is very intelligent and has a good identity, but what I care about the most is Miss Qi... That person is not simple."
Pang Long grinned, "Of course I know Miss Qi is not simple, but she is just a woman. If she is not simple, what step can she go."
"Then wait a little longer. Didn't Miss Qi say she would keep the tail for us? She would definitely not let the court find out that Qingyun Village had cut off the food and grass? If she really had the ability to hide it from the court, you might as well fight for it, and it would be better than just being a thief like this."
Being a thief is in a daze...
If there is another way out, who would like to be this thief?
"..." Pang Long took a few more sips of wine and threw the wine jar to the ground with a fierce grime. The turbid wine seeped into the rough ground. "Okay, if Miss Qi really had this ability, I would have taken the whole village to have sex with her!"
On the other hand, after Pang Long and Han Jiang left, Qi Ling, who was calm and composed in front of them, looked different in front of Heng Yu.
Qi Ling couldn't help but stand up and circle around twice, and approached Heng Yu, "Teacher, how did I perform just now?"
Heng Yu blew on the sword, glanced at him, "Just evaluate it yourself."
Qi Ling thought seriously, "It can be fooled."
After saying that, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Heng Yu's lips had a few smiles, "That's great. As a leader, no matter how anxious or timid you are, don't act like you are unconfident in front of others. No matter how nervous you are, you must tell yourself that you are the best in the world, do you understand?"
What she was most satisfied with was not Qi Ling's performance in front of Pang Long and Han Jiang, but that he would show his fear in front of the two of them.
This is great.
Qi Ling raised his hand and scratched his head, looked at Heng Yu for a few glances, and hesitated: "Then teacher, you..."
The sword body was reflected by the sunlight, and Heng Yu narrowed his eyes, threw the sword into the scabbard, stood up, clapped his hands and left.
The two emotions of eagerness and timidity have long been worn away by her.
Han Jiang and Pang Long waited for three days with their hearts in mind.
During the past three days, the court has been investigating who was doing the robbery of official grain, but Qingyun Village is still safe and sound, and there is no such thing as they are worried about being surrounded and suppressed by the imperial soldiers.
Three days later, Pang Long and Han Jiang took the initiative to find Heng Yu and Qi Ling, revealing their allegiance.
After the two left, Qi Ling sat opposite Hengyu, carrying vegetables and eating them without any taste.
After Hengyu stopped the chopsticks, Qi Ling quickly put them down, "Teacher, do we still have to set off for Mingyue Education?"
Judging from what this said, Qi Ling doesn’t seem to want to go to Mingyue Sect very much.
Heng Yu probably guessed Qi Ling’s concerns, but she still signaled him to continue talking with her eyes.
"In Mingyue Sect, we must be controlled by others. Now the people of Qingyun Village are loyal to me. We can use Qingyun Village as a base to gather the troops in Rongcheng. It takes less than a long time for our subordinates to have at least tens of thousands of troops. Isn't this better than going to Mingyue Sect?" Qi Ling said his calculations over the past few days, with doubts and inquiries in his eyes.
He waited for a few days, but the teacher did not change his words and said that he would not go to Mingyue School. Qi Ling felt that the teacher would not be able to see the benefits of staying in Qingyun Village, but she still did not change her words...
With Qi Ling’s understanding of the teacher, he believed that his considerations were inappropriate.
In the past few days, Hengyu has been asking the people from Qingyun Village to collect external information. Although only a few introductions are introduced, Hengyu can use this to piece together a lot of information.
"Dongliang's energy will be within this year."
Qi Ling's heart skipped a beat, and his breathing suddenly became tight.
The other party said this lightly, as if he had already made a conclusion on it.
"I can say this. Then how many smart people do you think are there in the world?"
“…The teacher is saying that many people can see this. Someone even saw it earlier.”
If many people can see this, what choices will they make-
Some people choose to turn the tide and want to continue the Eastern Liang Dynasty's ambition; some people are ambitious and want to replace it.
The prefects in various places are in charge of the military and politics of the local area, and the aristocratic families in various places control their connections and money. If one of them has the intention to replace them, with Qi Ling's current strength, he will indeed be unable to compete with them.
Qi Ling pursed her lips and guessed Heng Yu's thoughts, "Does the teacher want to use the power of Mingyue Sect?"
"Do you still remember the legend about Piaomiao Peak? Qi Ling, do you think the people of Piaomiao Peak can put their treasures on you?" Heng Yu did not answer this question directly, but asked about Piaomiao Peak first.
Qi Ling was silent. He was no longer the fearful and naive boy he had ever been.
Qi Ling has learned a lot in the past two months. He already knows one thing very well, that is, the people from Piaomiao Peak will never assist him - because his age is wrong.
In the past two months, Qi Ling has reached eleven years old and twelve years old. However, after the world's turmoil came, he was still too young and no one would put his treasure on a child.
In other words, at least at this time, the emperor's purple qi and the purple cymbidium astrology did not fall on him. He had much less accumulation than his future opponents.
"The Mingyue Cult has been resisting the tyranny of the imperial court for two or three years. They have strange people, army, and even many people in it have ambition." Heng Yu held his cheek with one hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked a little lazy. "Don't you want such a Mingyue Cult?"
Don’t you want such a Mingyue Sect?
This sentence is like a person walking in the desert suddenly encountering a good wine. When Qi Ling listened to this sentence, his heart beat violently, as if a pair of hands tightly grasped his heart.
There are strange people and troops, and if they get the Mingyue Sect, their confidence will be more sufficient.
Why doesn't he want it?
A bright light burst out from Qi Ling's eyes, "Teacher, let's go to Mingyue School."
This sentence is simple, firm and powerful.
This is the charm of a future hero.
Heng Yu raised his hand, and opened the folding fan in the opposite direction with his two fingers, shaking the fan to dispel the heat of autumn.
What she wants to cultivate is not an ordinary leader who has to rely on her to give confidence when encountering major events, but a future overlord of the world.
With the fearless courage to swallow mountains and rivers, the confidence to take on all mistakes, the most heroic spirit and the kuoda that ordinary people cannot match...
Only such a person is qualified to be her eyes and to be her disciples.
In August of the third year of Kangle, Heng Yu and Qi Ling set off, walked through Rongcheng, and continued to walk towards Duanqing Mountain.
Duanqing Mountain is actually not the name of a single mountain, but a whole continuous mountain range, and the Mingyue Cultivation Headquarters is located in the deepest part of the mountain range.
After riding a horse for more than half a month, Heng Yu and the others finally entered the Duanqing Mountain range.
As soon as they entered the Broken Green Mountains, the road became difficult to get on. After riding a horse for another hour, the two finally abandoned their horses, got off the horse and walked into the mountains with the reins.
The sunshine in August is very abundant, and it casts into the broken green mountains full of trees, bringing out mottled shadows.
The whole forest was very quiet, and even the sound of birds singing was very little. The biggest thing the two could hear was the "crack" sound when they stepped on dead branches and leaves.
"Teacher, I always feel that something is strange around here." Qi Ling would not be scared by such strangeness. The vigilance he cultivated made him feel that the situation he encountered was abnormal at this time.
Heng Yu raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Is that so? I think the environment is pretty good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Heng Yu's hand holding the reins immediately released. She had already moved to Qi Ling's left with internal force and blessed steps. The long sword on her waist was unsheathed, and a cold light was emitted.
"It's a good place to kill people." Heng Yu made up for the last sentence.
Before she finished speaking, her sword had already collided with a small dagger. The sharp dagger was cut into two pieces by the sword and fell to the ground.
Qi Ling knew something was wrong when he saw Heng Yu's actions.
When encountering an ambush in this Duanqing Mountain, the only possibility is that the Mingyue Sect took action.
Qi Ling did not lose his calmness, but shouted coldly: "I thought that although the Mingyue Sect was called the Demon Sect, the people in the sect were all open and honest. I didn't expect that the Mingyue Sect would do these sneak attacks with hidden heads and tails."
His voice echoed in the valley.
A sinister and low voice sneered, "You junior, can say...ah!" The person hiding in the dark was already hit hard by something on the shoulder.
Although that thing was not a weapon, it had a sharp corner protruding and hit the man's acupoint again. The man felt that his shoulders had been numb and could not move for a while.
"Fifth Brother." A woman exclaimed, then her eyes moved to the "hidden weapon" that fell in front of her, and exclaimed again, "It's the Mingyue Order!"
"The Mingyue Order... Could it be the Mingyue Order of Guardian Su?" The man, known as the "Fifth Brother", was silent for a moment and suddenly said loudly.
Since the other party recognized the Mingyue Order, it saved a lot of trouble. Hengyu reported his identity. "Qi Hengyu, with the crown prince Qi Ling, appointed by the late emperor, specially went to the Mingyue Sect to visit the leader of the Mingyue Sect."
There was another silence on the opposite side. After a moment, at the half slope of the valley, a man and a woman walked out from behind two extremely thick trees, soared into the air and landed ten steps away from Heng Yu Qiling.
Although the man spoke a little gloomy, his face was very young and handsome. However, the woman's voice was soft and there was a hideous scar on her left face that ran from her left eye to her left cheek. This scar completely destroyed the beauty on her body.
Heng Yu looked at the two of them for a moment and recognized their identities from their characteristics. "It turned out to be the Zuo Wu, the Lord of the Western Altar of Mingyue Cult, and the Deputy Lord of the Altar."
To be continued...
