The mountains and rivers are in the same region but the sky is different.
Duyuan County, which is affiliated to Huaxing County, borders the Bohai Sea to the east, Fengyi to the west, and Lingyuan City to the north. It is rich in seafood and has pleasant scenery. It is completely different from Lingyuan County, which is also affiliated to Huaxing County.
Speaking of the origin of Duyuan County, it is full of legend.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Duyuan County belonged to the Yan region. Rumor has it that after the Qin Dynasty conquered the six kingdoms, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, in order to show his majesty to the world, once patrolled here eastward, visited Jieshi, and carved the Jieshi Gate. In order to seek immortality, he sent Lu Sheng, Han Zhong, Hou Gong, and Shi Sheng from Yan. When the alchemists went to the sea to seek immortality, Ying Zheng stationed an army of ten thousand people here in order to contact the people who went to sea.
However, as Qin lost its deer and was chased by the world, this army did not add new members and combat power. Over time, after the army officers and soldiers retired from active service, they settled here one after another. By the time Liu Bang opened When Guoli Han heard that there was a garrison here, he sent troops to see it. They found that all the troops had become local farmers, craftsmen and merchants, and they were thriving here.
The old Qin people were unpretentious and focused on hard work. After five hundred years of spring and autumn, a prosperous seaside city was born in the Bohai Bay.
Duyuan County originally belonged to Liaoxi County of Youzhou. Twenty years ago, when Emperor Liu Yan reorganized the nine states and redefined the names and boundaries of counties, the place was named Duyuan, which means the place where the atmosphere of heaven and earth originated.
The lair of the Tiger Rebuking Gang is located in the Duyuan County seat, in Qinhuang City, facing the mountains and the sea.
To the west of Qinhuang City, there are faint forest waves in the mountains, flowing springs and waterfalls, just like being in a dream.
To the east of Qinhuang City, the Bohai Sea surges, and the vastness is endless as far as the eye can see.
As the saying goes, "eat the mountains by the mountains and the sea by the sea." Qinhuangcheng, like most seaside cities, has countless fish, shrimps, crab meat, sizzling crabs, scallops, sea locusts, barracuda, cuttlefish, hairtail, squid, conch, hairy clams, etc. There are a wide variety of shellfish and seafood, which combine the essence of Bohai Bay seafood products, enough to satisfy tourists.
After several days of traveling quickly, Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing rode side by side and stood outside the Qinhuang City.
It has been five years since Liu Yi first traveled north to the Lingyuan Mountains with Dongfang Chunsheng. After hard work, although Liu Yi is still as tall as a pine, there is a trace of vicissitudes of life condensed in his body, which makes people see him. It feels quite young and mature.
After marriage, Qiao Miaoqing is still so beautiful. She is so beautiful that she wants to carry a 'Kui Gang' on her shoulder. Her free and cheerful heroic spirit embodies a unique charm of her youth. The three thousand black hair on her shawl has become rolled up high. The bun, the beautiful lotus pods and the slim waist are slightly fuller, just like a bright moon in the sky, soothing and comfortable, but also extremely bright. Those eyes that are always as clear as lake water exude a look that is unique to young people. of blazing light.
As soon as they entered the city, Fang Yi, who couldn't stop talking, and Miao Yiming, who liked to play, started chattering non-stop. The two talked in a congenial manner, and they had the same smell, and they didn't mean to be exhausted at all.
Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing stood side by side in front, with eight hundred soldiers of the Pingtian Army following closely behind them. They looked heroic. This outfit gave Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing a third of the imperial nobility of the Golden Horse Palace.
At this moment, Liu Yi's expression was tepid, but he always looked at the two people with a smile.
On this trip, in addition to his wife Qiao Miaoqing, she was accompanied by the general's military officer, Zhonglang general Zhou Fu, Yun Yi and Su Di, who were already in the state of disarming. In addition, after thinking about it, Liu Yi also deliberately walked from Wangnan Tower Miao Yiming was called out.
For these people, Liu Yi had his own intentions. Needless to say, Qiao Miaoqing had to take her with him when he came to her hometown for business. Moreover, this trip was just for her; Zhou Fu, who was in the realm of pushing monuments, was unruly and unruly. As his own vanguard general, it was naturally necessary to bring five hundred cavalry into the rivers and lakes to practice their skills and lose some of their vigor. Yun Yi and Su Di, who were born as poor peasants and both entered the country to remove their armor, only brought three hundred soldiers with them. The main thing is to bring them out to see the world, increase their talents, and get one or two secret books for them both. That would be the best.
As for Fang Yi and Miao Yiming, who can't even lift a big axe! Liu Yi has other plans!
After thinking about it, Liu Yi turned to look at Qiao Miaoqing, who was always unhappy.
Liu Yi chuckled and said teasingly, "It is said in the book that every night in Qinhuang City, the bright moon rises on the sea, and in the paintings and calligraphy of rivers, people live with the sea tide. What a beautiful scene! It's a pity that it's not night. If it were night, my wife and I would be under the clear breeze and the bright moon. Let’s hold up the wine bottles and drink together. Wouldn’t it be a pleasure?”
Qiao Miaoqing remained silent and just nodded slightly.
Liu Yi tilted his head slightly and said with a smile, "People say that living along the coast will naturally cultivate the aura of a gentleman. What do you think? Miao Qing."
Qiao Miaoqing lowered her head and said nothing. She, who was always lively, was silent for a long time before she turned to look at Liu Yi. Her voice was sad and graceful, "Xiao Yinglong, someone is going to die today, isn't it?"
Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "People's hearts are not dough. You can knead them at will. Once people's hearts are separated, it will be difficult to clean up. Besides, how can there be a change of power without bloodshed and sacrifice?"
Qiao Miaoqing remained silent, but nodded slightly again.
On the bustling street, Liu Yi's mood was uncertain whether he was sad or happy. He was mixed up in the rivers and lakes. At first, he was mixed up in blood and blood. Later, he was mixed up in the past and in human affairs. In the end, he still had to mix in blood and rain!
Liu Yi stood on the spot and sighed softly: From the time when there was a fire in Wangbei Tower and when he followed Grandpa Dongfang out of the Lingyuan Mountains north, he had been involved in the world of martial arts and temples. It has been nearly six years now. In these six years, since he There are too many people who pass by in a flash, and there are too many favors that are owed intentionally or unintentionally!
...
The reason why Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing came to Qinhuang City with great fanfare today was nominally to visit relatives and play as a newlywed, but in fact they came to denounce the Tiger Gang.
The Kuhu Gang is facing the crisis of disintegration, and it needs the powerful external force of the Hirata Army to help Xiaojiaoniang win over people's hearts, no, conquer people's hearts!
It turns out that although the Kuhu Gang is a Jianghu gang, it is somewhat different from Jianghu.
The predecessor of the Kuhu Gang was the Changshui Guards who were good at reconnaissance and assassination among the emperor's twelve internal guards. More than ten years ago, Saibeili, who was still a general in Changshui, was ordered by the emperor Liu Yan to lead all the Changshui guards at that time to hide in the rivers and lakes. , performed the task, and then the name of the Huhu Gang became known in the world.
The Cuhu Gang made its fortune in the temple, rose up in the world, and eventually returned to the temple.
During the more than ten years since the Tiger Fighting Gang settled in Duyuan County, they have been constantly accepting various tasks assigned by the Emperor. With the emperor's behind-the-scenes support, the Tiger Fighting Gang has been able to achieve rapid development in the world. In just ten years, it has become the most powerful gang in the world. A gang of gangs on one side.
However, the Emperor and the Huhu Gang have a fatal weakness.
That is: the matchmaking with Chang'an City has always been a matter between the gang leader Saibei Li and the current Changshui Lang general Li Changhong. After Saibeili's heroic martyrdom, the Huhu Gang, in a certain sense, became the same person. Contact with the court was lost, and the court did not take the initiative to send anyone to contact anyone from the Huhu Gang, including Qiao Miaoqing.
In other words, they have become rootless duckweeds and cannot return home.
After Qiao Miaoqing took over as the leader of the Tiger Clan, she tried to contact Li Changhong, but there was no news from Chang'an in Gyeonggi Province, not even a fart.
After all, the little girl was used to being idle, and she couldn't make up her mind for a moment when something happened. Now, the Tiger-Kicking Gang was leaderless, and its backbone was a weak woman. For a while, there were only less than 300 members of the Tiger-Kicking Gang left. Where to go.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the Kuhu Gang who followed Saibei Li to escape into the rivers and lakes all had the righteousness of their family and country in mind. For the sake of the emperor's ambition, they were willing to give up their official positions and identities as Changshui Guards and sneak into the rivers and lakes. Sixteen years have passed, and this group of people... All old! Tired too!
When a tired bird returns to the forest, how can it be called a human being?
As a result, the members of the Cuhu Gang all made small calculations in their minds. Some wanted to go directly to Beijing to meet the emperor and return to serve as Changshui Guards; some wanted to retire to the countryside and withdraw a sum of money from the gang. He returned to his hometown in Cangzhou to farm and farm, and never paid attention to worldly affairs; some people wanted to leave the temple completely, revitalize the Huhu Gang, and completely become a free and easy man in the world.
After all, after the death of Sai Beili, the people who criticized the Tiger Gang just dispersed!
If Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing hadn't gotten married, they wouldn't have talked about these things because of Xiaojiao Niang's stubborn and arrogant temperament. But now that the two families have become one family, there is nothing unspeakable.
Moreover, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Liu Yi's original promise to Sebeili to help him protect the Huhu Gang was not just empty talk.
So, Liu Yi is here!
...
After a while, Liu Yi came back to his senses and saw Qiao Miaoqing's sad face. He couldn't bear it, so he still said, "Miaoqing, don't worry! Anyone who can accompany Gang Leader Qiao to this day will not be disloyal." A righteous person. It's just that the leader of the gang has recently died, and everyone has lost their minds and direction for a while, so they will naturally be a little restless. I'll let Fang Yi tell some dirty jokes to make everyone happy, that's all! "
"Really?" Qiao Miaoqing stood stunned, staring at Liu Yi expectantly.
Liu Yi held her hands as soft as spring grass and said sincerely, "Miaoqing, I can't lie to you. There are many people in the world who are upright and resolute. They will follow the truth if they believe it. Therefore, I am afraid that I can't control today's situation." Okay. But, I can promise that I will try my best to achieve both, and try my best not to see blood!"
At this point, Liu Yi's eyes suddenly turned murderous, "But if someone is really stubborn, I don't mind sending him down below to explain to Gang Leader Qiao."
The little girl nodded with a sad expression, "They are all uncles who have watched me grow up, Xiao Yinglong. If you promise me that you will not let them die in the future, then it is best not to let any of them die!"
Liu Yi said calmly, "The eagle does not fly with the sparrows, and the unicorn does not fly with the fox and mouse in the same forest. We are not from the same place. No matter how you knead us, we will never get together."
Qiao Miaoqing was silent, she knew Liu Yi didn't lie to her, but she wished Liu Yi could lie to her just this once.
Liu Yi read for a while, straightened the old wooden hairpin on his head, nodded in response, and asked, "But, if the Huhu Gang disappears from the world, won't you regret it?" ?”
"I'm not a Jianghu person, why don't you go back and become a Han official!" Xiaojiao Niang took this to heart and forced a smile, "I will be your Lieutenant in the Pingtian Army, and my uncles can also return to the army. , when you put down the Jiang Feng dog thief, go to the court to ask for a reward, but don’t forget these uncles! They have been living with their father for half their lives, so they should seek a status, be disarmed and return to their fields, so that they can retire in peace!"
"Back then, the Changshui Guards all entered the rivers and lakes. Twenty or thirty years passed in a flash, and now there are less than three hundred heroes left. Fortune is playing tricks on people!"
Liu Yi sighed, "The Cucking Tiger Gang is a secret that His Majesty placed in the world. Although I don't know what it will be used for, it's time to let them return to their roots!"
After hearing this, Qiao Miaoqing felt very grateful. She turned around and immediately gave Liu Yi a blessing.
This was the first time Qiao Miaoqing had saluted Liu Yi since the two met, which made Liu Yi a little flattered and at a loss.
"After all, I am also one of the Twelve Assassins of the Tiger Rebellion. If there is something going on in the gang, how can it be without my participation? Haha."
Liu Yi grasped the 'Chen' pendant around his waist, helped Qiao Miaoqing up, pinched the little girl's nose, and said teasingly, "A loving mother often makes mistakes, and a shrewd woman will bully her husband! Why, after Miaoqing got married, Suddenly become docile?"
Qiao Miaoqing curled her lips and punched Liu Yi gently, "Just this once! It won't be the same next time!"
Liu Yi clicked his tongue, "Once is enough!"
Qiao Miaoqing's beautiful eyes were affectionate, and she looked at Liu Yi with trust in her eyes.
The two stopped talking and looked at a bank not far away called 'Changshui', which was the headquarters of the Huhu Gang and the home where Qiao Miaoqing grew up.
Looking at the bank in front of him, Liu Yi suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, a feeling that he was born as a chess piece and his destiny was always being played between the hands of others. It seemed that there had been guidance from somewhere. Guide him to become an official, guide him to Pingtian, guide him to fight against Jiang Feng, guide him to come here.
Although this feeling was fleeting and unfounded, it still made Liu Yi vaguely aware of something, and he began to feel restless for a while.
At this moment, the purple energy hidden in Liu Yi's body came from the east, and suddenly filled Liu Yi's Dantian Qi sea. In his mind, the purple energy lingered endlessly, and between the golden and yellow colors, his slightly nervous mood slowly calmed down. , giving Liu Yi a sense of self-emptiness.
Liu Yi took a deep breath and then smiled helplessly. Purple Qi coming from the east can enlighten the mind and save lives on the line between life and death. However, in normal times, this technique has no use other than making the brain clearer.
Suddenly, Liu Yi suddenly woke up. The purple energy coming from the east not only enlightened his soul, but also had a miraculous effect of early warning.
It seems that someone just wanted to harm me!
