Silkworm, in the cocoon.
Hua Ruxue feels like a silkworm, unable to escape from the dense layers of sorrow.
Outside the window, the sky is full of cold stars. Can there be more lonely days than hers?
She is the widow of the old gang leader Han Buying, but she is just a nameless concubine. She has never given birth to a boy or a girl. She can only rely on the kindness of the new gang leader to take care of her old age in the gang, and she is less than forty years old.
There are thousands of deep feelings in my chest, who can I tell them to? No one can describe the infinite lovesickness, the overwhelming sadness, and the emptiness and loneliness of the deep boudoir. She was like a concubine imprisoned in a cold palace. The beautiful scenery, romance, and romance in this world had nothing to do with her anymore.
Even if she is born with a lot of charm, she can only live up to it.
The more beautiful it is at this time, the more sad it is. It cannot be comforted by the words "beauty has a bad life".
It was the fourth day of the morning, and the beautifully embroidered tent was suddenly separated by a pair of giant hands. A tall man in his late fifties put on boots and got out of bed. He quickly arranged his appearance, touched the neat and beautiful beard on his lips, and felt Conceitedly said:
"You will never see my better-looking beard in the gang. No, no, I can't find anyone else in the northern land."
This stinky tone is simply a replica of Xia Yinqiu. , no, it should be said that Xia Yinqiu inherited it from his left protector Xia Juzheng.
To this day, he is still a handsome middle-aged man with full masculine charm.
Hua Ruxue had suspected more than once that he loved his beard more than he loved her.
Ten years ago, this man followed Lu Buwei 's example and dedicated his lover to the gang leader Han Buying. After all the tricks, she didn't lay an egg.
"Are you leaving?" Even though I'm used to it, I still can't help but feel sad.
"It's almost dawn, I don't want to be seen."
Hua Ruxue stood in front of him.
"What are you doing?" He frowned and became impatient.
"Ju Zheng, I figured it out. I don't want to be sneaky like this anymore. I've had enough!" She stared at him with a pleading look, expecting him to lend a helping hand to help her escape and see the light of day again.
"You don't want me to find you again?"
"No, I want to be with you openly."
"What did you say? Are you crazy?" He was really startled by her and hurriedly scolded: "This It's absolutely not going to work!"
"Why not?" She faced his angry yet calm eyes and still said emotionally: "You are a widower and I am a widow. It is only the affair that arouses criticism, but the marriage is fair and honest. "What's more, we were originally lovers, and you planned to take me as your stepmother ten years ago..."
"You're really crazy!" He interrupted her to bring up the old story, and replied angrily: "You forgot. What is your status today? You are Han Buying's widow! If I dare to risk my life to marry you, I will never be able to stay in the "Tianlong Gang" in the future.
"There are so many widowers marrying widows in this world..."
"Do you think we are common people? You have been in a gang for ten years after all. What is the most important thing for a gangster? Morality! "You can't play with your friends' wives", and more What's more, you are the widow of an old gang leader. Who dares to marry you? One mouthful of saliva from each of the brothers in the gang is enough to drown you. Xia Juzheng didn't want to sacrifice the status and prestige he had built up over the years for a useless woman.
He thought that Hua Ruxue had enough charm to induce Han Buying to straighten her up and become a force behind him. Who knew that she was still a concubine for ten years?
Jianghu people are informal, but they value family law. The wife is the master, and the concubine has a higher status than the girl. Being favored in the boudoir does not mean that she has the right to show her face in front of the brothers in the gang.
Hua Ruxue's beautiful face showed a touch of sadness."Since I deserve to be a widow and live a life without causing trouble, why do you come to tease me? Do you think that because you come and leave secretly without being noticed, you are not willing to take the risk? Xia Juzheng, Xia Juzheng, you have repeatedly played with my feelings and arranged my fate at will. Where is your conscience? "
"You are such a ungrateful woman. I miss my old relationship and am afraid that you will be lonely, so I took advantage of this. Your nephew came to comfort you when he was away. Isn’t it because he cares about your honor? It’s fine if you don’t appreciate me, but you threaten me in return, so you have uneasy conscience!” Facing his former crush and today's worthless person, he sneered and said, "The leader of the gang will be back soon. As long as you stay on your own terms, he will still call you "Aunt Xue" and provide you with adequate food and clothing until you die. Your nephew Hua Shaojie can also become a dedicated doctor in the gang, and his future is limitless. You are a smart person, and you should know very well how to make a decision. Don't ruin your job by yourself. ”
The man waved his sleeves and walked away without any regrets.
Hua Ruxue's last glimmer of hope was shattered, and her heart seemed to fall into the deepest part of an ancient well, so dark and cold.
☆☆☆
The Tianlong Gang is the most powerful gang in the entire north. The main hall of
, which occupies a very large area, is holding a semi-annual meeting. All the leaders from various places are assigned to return to the main hall to make routine reports. In addition to various situations in business and Jianghu, it can also enable the gang leader to understand the situation in all parts of the world. The overall situation is dynamic, and more importantly, the friendship between the chief helmsman and the branch helmsmen in various places is connected.
This was also the first time Wang Zhitie met with all the sub-rudders after taking over as gang leader.
In the Longmen Hall where a huge horizontal plaque of "loyalty and justice" hangs high, Wang Zhitie sits expressionlessly on a tiger leather chair at the end of the hall. There are two rows of Taishi chairs in front of him, each with a sub-ruler sitting on it. .
Wang Zhitie listened to their reports one by one, thinking that if Qingqing were to sit here, he would make sure to fall asleep. The "Tianlong Gang" has established a stable foundation in Han Buying's hands. Not many people dare to provoke, so there are no big problems. This meeting has become a report on how to make money in various places, and occasionally one or two new small gangs have sprung up to ask for help. They were trying to seize the territory and share the profits, but the sub-rudders were confident enough to deal with it and just made a routine report.
They are all one or twenty years older than the gang leader. They followed the old gang leader through the wind and waves, and the mountains of swords and swords. Wang Zhitie can imagine that they are somewhat unhappy with him, the gang leader who "sit back and enjoy the success". Convinced. Even though he had served under his adoptive father for several years and made great achievements, but then he ran away for three years and became the leader of the gang as soon as he came back, which really caught people off guard.
Among them, the most unruly one is Zuo Qiankun, the leader of the Chang'an branch. He is still fierce in his early fifties and speaks like a bell. If it weren't for the strict rules of the gang, which prohibit the following offenses, he would not do it. I would like to bow my head and say hello to this little kid.
Wang Zhitie's expression remained the same, but he was thinking in his heart: "Sure enough, people with bad tempers can't hide their thoughts, and their likes and dislikes are all on their faces. However, if this kind of person is subdued, he will be loyal all his life." Zuo Qiankun This time, he came with his eldest son Zuo Danju and several capable men. The other branch captains also came with twelve to sixteen men. They were much more impressive than in previous years. What did they want to show?
However, they all had good excuses, and they all said the same thing. They said they received a letter from Fei Ge and learned that the gang leader was getting married, so they came here to congratulate him!
Wang Zhitie expressed his gratitude and ordered him to go down and invite the wedding wine tonight and prepare for a banquet. The congratulatory gifts sent by everyone were also sent to Wolongxuan where the gang leader lived, waiting to formally meet the gang leader's wife tonight.
The undercurrent is raging in the Longmen Hall, and the storm is also surging outside the Longmen Hall...
Wing Chun Pavilion beside the lotus pond.
Xia Yinqiu stamped her feet angrily, thinking that tonight Guo Qingqing would appear in front of everyone as the gang leader's wife, sit on an equal footing with the gang leader, and teach all the brothers to know her, pay homage to her, and respect her! Thinking of this, Xia Yinqiu's cheek muscles twitched, and she was truly irritated.
The sky has no eyes! He actually taught that shrewd woman to fly up to a high branch and stare at everyone.
Thinking about the way back to the main helm, she took the opportunity several times to talk to the gang leader, but before she could finish her intimate words, Guo Qingqing came to interrupt. What a sinister woman. With Guo Qingqing’s beauty, she wants to monopolize the gang leader? But the gang leader was very considerate to her, as if he had something in Guo Qingqing's hands.
Does Guo Qingqing have her beauty? No.
Does Guo Qingqing have her charm and charm? No.
Guo Qingqing is as talented as she is, and she knows everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting to acupuncture and cooking? No.
In terms of virtue, speech, appearance, and workmanship, which one of Guo Qingqing is better than her? No.
Xia Yinqiu is almost angry with God. A woman who is inferior to her in everything has a better fate than her. She will be sitting in a high position tonight, and even the chief hall master and the guardians will bow to her.
She really wanted to teach Guo Qingqing right away that she was seriously ill, lying in bed unable to get up, and unable to attend tonight's event.
She knew that she had too high expectations for the gang leader, and she thought that the gang leader's wife was hers. Once another woman took her away, she couldn't help but become jealous.
She didn't think about it. Wang Zhitie had long stated that he had a fiancée, but she didn't care, thinking that any man would give up other women for her. Wouldn't it hurt if I kicked the iron plate now?
She was even afraid that tonight would come. On the surface, everyone would congratulate the gang leader on completing a life-long event, but in their hearts they would secretly laugh at her for not being the gang leader's wife. When she thought about this, she felt so sick that she almost went crazy.
"Miss Xia, so you are here." The loud and loud cry contained infinite joy. Another admirer appeared. Xia Yinqiu habitually lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. How endearing!
Zuo Danju, who has strong arms and a strong waist, is quite powerful as a father. Friends in the world gave him the nickname "Fire Qilin" to remind everyone not to anger him.
Such heroic people all have the nostalgia of "heroic beauties". Since the last time I came to the helm with my father and met Xia Yinqiu, I have never forgotten it. I begged my father several times to propose marriage to Xia Juzheng, but Zuo Qiankun, who was both rough and tactful, He must not be reckless. I heard that Xia Juzheng intends to betroth his daughter to Wang Zhitie... Now it's good! Zuo Danju asked herself that she had 80% hope of getting the beauty back.
"Miss Xia, I had a hard time looking for you." Zuo Danju said emotionally.
"It turns out to be Zuo Shaoxia. I haven't seen him for half a year, but he is still in high spirits and full of heroic spirit." Xia Yinqiu never hesitates to give a high hat to a man with good conditions and barely worthy of her, which shows that she is so considerate. What's more, Zuo Danju's adoring eyes satisfied her very much.
"I'm so happy that you still remember me."
"Who doesn't know "Fire Unicorn" Zuo Danju? "She glanced at him, her amorous feelings came naturally, making the man soft and soft. "Among the young generation of prodigies, you are one of the best."
"Girl, you are too flattering." Zuo Danju smiled with pride. There is no happier thing in the world than hearing the person you love praise and praise yourself.
Xia Yinqiu originally wanted to talk to him for a few words and then leave as an excuse. Although Zuo Danju was a handsome and talented person, he couldn't win her heart. It would be unwise to be too entangled. But at this time, she was extremely sharp-eyed and saw Guo Qingqing walking into the garden with two maids from a distance. She couldn't help but feel that her love rival was extremely jealous when they saw each other, showing an angry and sad expression. In Zuo Danju's eyes, she really wanted to Draw a knife and kill the person who broke her heart.
"Miss Xia, if you have something unhappy in your heart, just tell me, Zuo Danju is willing to go to your troubles, no matter what."
Her eyebrows were lightly furrowed, looking sad and pitiful.
"Miss Xia, tell me quickly, who bullied you?" Zuo Danju was impulsive and just wanted to do something to win the beauty to smile at him.
She was so grateful that she almost shed tears. She pointed her slender fingers forward and touched Guo Qingqing's body.
"It's that woman? What did she do?"
She was choked and speechless, hiding her face and looking away.
Zuo Danju only felt her blood boiling. Compared to the beauty, who had been wronged so much, Chu Chu was pitiful, and the spirit of "that woman" was even more exuberant. It was unbearable. If he couldn't stand up for justice on behalf of the beauty, he would be calling himself a hero in vain. .
He jumped up and down in twos and threes, and stood in front of Guo Qingqing in the posture of a big horse and a golden sword. He shouted loudly: "Stop, what is your name? Why are you bullying Miss Xia Yinqiu?"
Qingqing was full of confusion. "Who are you? Why are you yelling at me?" She stretched out her hand to stop the maid who wanted to stand up for her. This guy accused her of bullying Xia Yinqiu, which is interesting!
"I will not change my name in practice, nor my surname in sitting, "Fire Qilin" Zuo Danju! Today I am here to seek justice for Miss Xia and tell her your name.
"My name is Guo Qingqing. I did not bully Miss Xia. Do you want to find out more?"
"No, Miss Xia won't lie. Today I want to seek justice for her." Contents of Fei Ge's letter He didn't look at it, but only heard me say that the gang leader got married, so he came to congratulate her, not knowing that the woman in front of him was the gang leader's wife.
's delicate and delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, with a cunning meaning in her eyes. "Looking at your strong skills, do you want to compete with me?" Brother Tie, Brother Tie, look at how dignified, virtuous, quiet and well-behaved your wife is today, but there are still people who want to challenge me. This is not my fault!
"If people in the martial arts world don't compete in martial arts, how can they still recite poems and compete against each other?" Zuo Danju said arrogantly.
"That's what the hero said." Qingqing still smiled and stared at him, with an expression of no comment. "But, is it okay if we don't compete?" She still needs to refuse, so that someone can testify in the future that she is not the one who insists on taking action. For God's sake, she listens to Brother Tie's words!
"If you are scared, apologize carefully to Miss Xia in front of me, and I will spare you once." Zuo Danju didn't want to fight a woman younger than herself. She just wanted to get justice.
She smiled teasingly and challenged: "I, Guo Qingqing, have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, and I have never bullied anyone. As for someone who wants to bully me, it is absolutely impossible. Okay! I've said hello, let's do it!"
After finishing his words, his figure suddenly fluttered and passed by Zuo Danju's side, reaching out to grab the sword on his back...
Long live! Finally, we can fight openly and openly.
Zuo Danju didn't expect her to come so fast, but she felt the wind blowing loudly, and the enemy had already bullied her side. At that moment, her right palm was as fast as lightning, even faster than Qingqing's hand. He got ahead of her and hit her on the shoulder with a palm. He forced her to take three steps back, but the sword behind her remained motionless.
"With your martial arts, you are not worthy of my sword."
"Really?" She is naturally more active than quiet. When she was a child, she often secretly learned the kung fu of the bodyguard next door. However, she really learned the best martial arts under the iron guidance of the famous master Wang Zhi. , but it only lasted three or four years. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't compare to Zuo Danju, who had practiced hard since childhood.
"I advise you to be sensible and go and apologize to Miss Xia."
sneered Qingqing. "You like to flatter beautiful women, that's your family's business. However, since you take the initiative to challenge me, I will accompany you to the end. Today, you have to use the sword!" He immediately stretched out his hands to grab Zuo Danju. Chest, using the first set of Kung Fu Wang Zhi Tie taught her: the Eighteen-Way Grappling Hand.
The two palms changed endlessly between the tremors, and the movements were unpredictable. They could hook, lock, hold, or strike. They could also use force to apply it. They were used very skillfully and skillfully. Zuo Danju actually had to use it. She dealt with it with all her energy, and became even more convinced that she was capable of "bullying" Xia Yinqiu.
Two figures were dancing through each other, flying and flashing, making dozens of moves and passing by with a snap of a finger.
Qingqing did not have the upper hand. However, Zuo Danju, who was destined to be a Jianghu person from birth, could not subdue her!
For Zuo Danju, it was unbelievable that he had to put in so much effort to deal with a woman under twenty years old and still have no outcome. For him, who had always been conceited, this was considered a failure.
A question flashed in his mind: "Who is her master?"
He didn't know that Qingqing was actually sweating through her clothes. Zuo Danju's internal energy was stronger than hers, and the palm wind she struck was surging and powerful. He has inner strength and much more experience in fighting enemies than she does. No matter how powerful the Eighteen-Way Grappler is, he can't defeat his impeccable movements.
Therefore, Qingqing had to resort to dangerous tactics to win.
A series of palm shadows came from the opening and closing of Zuo Danju's arms. The sharp wind of the attack was like a knife. Qingqing took advantage of the situation and soared into the air, landing on the railing beside the lotus pond. He gathered all his strength and pounced upward again, with great success. The enemy battles it out for victory.
Zuo Danju didn't expect her attack to be so powerful. Without thinking about it, she stretched out her palms and gathered all her strength. The four palms connected with each other with a "bang". In an instant, Qingqing flew out like a broken paper kite. About to fall into the middle of the lake...
Zuo Danju said "Ah", feeling regretful... This is the chief rudder!
Suddenly, a figure was like a shooting star chasing the moon. When Qingqing was about to fall into the water, he picked up her body, boarded a boat to cross the water, and flew across the lake. The lightness of his body opened Zuo Danju's eyes. When he saw it clearly, it turned out to be "cold face". Excellent scholar" King of Iron.
"Gang leader!" Zuo Danju hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage. For the first time, he saw Wang Zhitie's cold and serious expression, and his heart skipped a beat. Moreover, not only Wang Zhitie, but also almost all important cadres were present. , his father Zuo Qiankun's face was even more ugly.
Wang Zhitie asked sharply and bluntly: "Master Zuo, how many sons do you have?"
Zuo Qiankun said sadly: "Three." Suddenly he knelt down on one knee, "Gang leader, I am an old and unworthy son. Please forgive me!" He knew that when the gang leader asked him how many sons he had, he had murderous intentions. He had three sons, but unexpectedly there was no heir.
Wang Zhitie glanced at his unconscious wife in his arms, snorted coldly, and quickly returned to "Wolongxuan" to heal Qingqing Yun Gong's injuries. He had no time to pay attention to him for the time being.
"Dad, what's going on?" Zuo Danju hurriedly helped his father up, but Zuo Qiankun unexpectedly slapped him. "Dad..."
"You treacherous son! You dared to kill the gang leader's wife because of your bravery. Even if you have nine lives, it's not enough for the gang leader to kill her!" Zuo Qiankun was furious at Bullfighting, hating him for committing the following crime and breaking into the big house. disaster.
"The gang leader's wife?" Zuo Danju lost her voice: "I don't know, she said her name is Guo Qingqing..."
"The gang leader's wife, Guo Qingqing, who doesn't know?" Zuo Qiankun roared.
"I" Zuo Danju was speechless and asked in a panic. Looking at the beautiful woman in the "Wing Chun Pavilion" in the distance, holding her heart in her hands, she seemed so panicked that Zuo Danju couldn't bear to tell the truth.
A man is a true man, one person does things for others, and Xia Yinqiu did not ask him to step forward.
"Let me ask you, how did you get into a fight with the gang leader's wife?" Zuo Qiankun asked with a glimmer of hope: "Did you provoke first? Or the madam..." If Guo Qingqing challenged his son first, there would be a glimmer of hope. Life, the gang leader cannot be merciful.
"I provoked my wife first. I didn't know she was the gang leader's wife." Zuo Danju confessed frankly and did not bother to find a scapegoat.
Zuo Qiankun wanted to teach his son a lesson again. At this time, Zuo Protector Xia Juzheng, who was eager to win people's hearts, stood up to coordinate and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, you two. The leader's wife may have just fainted temporarily and it's nothing serious. , After all, she is a disciple trained by our gang leader, and she is not an ordinary woman. "
"It turns out that her martial arts is from the gang leader." Zuo Danju murmured: "But, my palm was so heavy, I almost used it. Go all out..."
Xia Juzheng smiled slightly. "A famous teacher will give birth to a great disciple, and he will never die with just one palm."
Zuo Qiankun frowned and said, "The gang leader and his wife turned out to be masters and disciples?" He has a hot temper and integrity, and he hates anything that violates ethics most in his life.
Xia Juzheng looked embarrassed and said, "Yes!" Oh my, he felt deeply ashamed to have such an unscrupulous gang leader!
Lei Hengyi suddenly laughed. "I didn't expect that a grown man would just hearsay and not ask for the truth. The gang leader's wife is clearly the gang leader's cousin. It is no longer a secret that the aunt arranged the marriage for the two of them. What is wrong with the husband giving advice to his wife on her martial arts skills? "What?"
Zuo Qiankun immediately felt a big stone in his heart. "I see, that's right. I often compete with Zhuo Jing in martial arts at home."
Xia Juzheng glared at Lei Hengyi angrily. This brat just got lucky. It happened by chance. After saving the old gang leader's life, he was named the right protector and treated him as an equal, but he always opposed him. He really didn't know the current affairs!
Lei Hengyi didn't like him, and thought he was a bluffing old peacock.
Under the guidance of several sub-rudders, Zuo Qiankun took his son to "Wolongxuan" to plead guilty.
Before leaving, Zuo Danju looked at the "Wing Chun Pavilion" with a tragic mood. The beauty had disappeared.
