Qiujia Fort has three main courtyards. The largest Huilin Fortress lives in the fortress owner Qiu Zhuoxi and the fortress owner Li Mingxia. Qiu Li lives in Lifeng Garden, the closest to the garden, and Li Mingxia's son lives in Tianshangyuan, the best scenery.
Yes, the current wife of the Fortress Lord Li Mingxia is the second wife of the Fortress Lord Qiu Zhuoxue. When Li Mingxia entered the Fortress, he also brought his son Qiu Yuanming with him. Qiu Yuanming was originally named Wang Yuanming, but after Li Mingxia married Qiu Zhuoxue, he changed his name and followed Qiu's surname.
Although everyone in the world knows that although Li Mingxia is the second wife, she is deeply loved and trusted by the owner of the fortress, so she dare not look down on this cheap son too much. In addition, since Qiu Yuanming entered Qiu Family Fort, he has worked hard and made progress. Although his martial arts are mediocre, he is quite outstanding in his relationships and is highly valued by Qiu Zhuoxue.
In the Cunxi Pavilion west of Qiujiabao, the sun cannot be seen rising in the east in the morning, but in the evening, the sunset glow can be seen. Because it is far away from the main courtyard, it is empty all around it. However, it is full of willow flowers. In the courtyard, there are live fish swimming in a Sishui pond, which looks like a mural floating in the scenery and a green wall.
There is no prosperity and color, but it is elegant and elegant.
As soon as Qiu Li walked in, he saw Qiu Yan, wearing a long ink-colored gown, standing on the stone platform beside the courtyard practicing calligraphy. On the stone platform, there was a row of pens, a pot of wine, and a stack of paper. He was as quiet as a still object, integrated into the landscape murals in the courtyard without any inconsistency.
"Sun and Moon in the Pot"
"Your handwriting is getting better and better." As he said this, Qiu Li looked at him with worry and heartache.
Qiu Yan did not stop the calligraphy movement, but did not raise his head but recognized the voice of the person: "Brother, you are here."
Qiu Li nodded and found a stone by the pond not far away to sit down.
"Ayan, you can calm down and practice calligraphy."
Qiu Yan smiled dismally, "What's wrong? Have you quarreled with your father again?"
Qiu Li sneered, "Father? He treated you like that, did you still call him a father?"
Qiu Yan is Qiu Li's younger brother. Although the two look different, their charm is extremely similar. However, Qiu Li's face is full of enthusiasm, while Qiu Yan has a look. If I ride the wind, I will turn into indifference.
"If you have no desires, you will have no desires. Brother, I don't care about him, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed in this remote courtyard for so long."
Qiu Li picked up the small stones by the pond and threw them in one by one, scaring the fish in the pond to hide. He said angrily: "That woman is now in the house, and she is restrained when I am in the fort. What if I am not here? Do you really think I don't know how their mother and son treat you?
As a father, why did he ignore you so much! You are his biological son, and you are not as good as Wang Yuanming as you! It's so unfair!"
"A wisp of fresh breeze and a cup of warm wine are enough for wishes."
Qiu Yan put down his brush, walked into the house and took out two thin cups, poured wine for himself and Qiu Li, "I am born with a weak constitution, and my father is the lord of a castle. It is understandable that this is done. I don't blame him."
"But Wang Yuanming's martial arts skills are also very bad, but he has entrusted him with important tasks to take care of all and big affairs at home. Why can you not do it?" Qiu Li became more and more excited and became less angry when he thought about it. He said nothing, "If my mother is still here, you won't be," he said.
"Brother, I'm tired." He interrupted Qiu Li's words and sighed leisurely. He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, walked back to the room, ignoring Qiu Li who was still standing alone in the courtyard.
"Ayan, since Dad took that woman, his ambitions have become increasingly large. This time he sent me out of the fort to Jiangnan to seize the artifacts and find the companion spirits. Then he planned to attack Uncle Baili.
I hope you understand something," he paused, "Forget it, I might be away for a while this time, so be careful at home." He seemed to be talking to himself through a door, but he knew his brother was listening to him.
Qiu Li sat in the yard until the sun set, then put down the wine pot and got up to leave. Qiu Yan's voice came from the closed door: "Brother, Uncle Baili is a kind person."
After Qiu Li paused, he left Cunxi Pavilion without looking back.
At night, he dressed in mysterious clothes and found Baili Yu again. The two of them came to the lakeside in the eastern suburbs, stood side by side, facing the shining lake surface.
Baili Yu saw that he looked sad and didn't ask. Since he came to find him, Ji must have something to say.
"Brother Baili, can Uncle Baili be so good recently?" Qiu Li always had a tendency to break in front of others, but at this moment, Baili Yu was confused.
"Why are you worried about my father coming today? Is there something wrong?" Baili Yu was so smart. He and Qiu Li grew up together. He couldn't understand him much. He looked at Qiu Li with hesitation and a worried face. He slapped him in the head, "I'm so annoyed. If you have something, just say it, my mother-in-law looks like a woman."
Qiu Li was slapped at first, touched his head, and sighed, "My father ordered me to go to Jiangnan to seize the magical artifact and the companion spirit." He paused, "He has a disobedient heart towards Uncle Baili."
Baili Yu seemed not very surprised by what he said, but was surprised that he would tell him at this moment, "You are really straightforward."
Seeing Baili Yu's expression light and calm expression, Qiu Li immediately understood. What could he escape from the eyes of the leader? He felt relieved and recalled his predicament just now, and his face warmed up, "Baili Yu, you are a paralyzed in your face. It turns out that you have known it a long time ago, and I don't know what to say."
Baili Yu didn't care about his unreasonable words, but said lightly, "It was born with a strange phenomenon. Now that all forces in the world gathered, it may not be peaceful. People in the world have always been dominated by our first alliance, three forts and twelve sects, and my father's leader is the leader. If we have civil strife, the evil demon sect will definitely take the opportunity to enter. At that time, there will be bloody storms, and I don't know how many people will die in vain for this."
"A person from the evil sect? Although I heard from my elders that the evil sect practiced by the evil sects was vicious and harmful to all directions. I have traveled to many places over the years, but I have never seen the evil sects cause harm to the place?" Qiu Li asked curiously.
"I also saw it in the family history that after the war between good and evil a hundred years ago, the evil faction was hidden. Now our righteous people are growing stronger, and although there are occasional struggles in the sect, they are considered unity. If the evil faction is born, they will definitely be inferior to the people of our side.
But if you have a strange phenomenon today, there are even more magical artifacts in Jiangnan. People from all walks of life are going to Jiangnan to compete. Ordinary people have a greedy heart, let alone those evil people?"
Hearing this, Qiu Li's face changed. Qiu Yan was like a deposed son at home. He was the only heir of Qiu Family Fort. If his father provoked the leader and had a civil turmoil in the world, the evil faction would take advantage of the situation and cause bloody storms.
He recalled Baili Yu's words and suddenly exclaimed, "You mean, among the people who are fighting for the artifacts in Jiangnan this time, there will be people from the evil sects infiltrated?" He looked at the serious expression on Baili Yu's face, and thought the answer was self-evident.
Baili Yuzheng pointed at the head and continued: "So, this trip to Jiangnan, I hope you can seize that magical artifact and the companion spirit."
Qiu Li looked at him strangely, "What? Do you really wish I had that thing? Are you really not afraid that my father will go to trouble your father after he successfully merged?"
Baili Yu shook his head, "I mean, you, you get it yourself, do you understand?"
Qiu Li choked by Baili Yu's words and took a breath, "Are you kidding me?" He knew the power of the companion spirit, so he never thought of getting it. But now when Baili Yu mentioned it, he always felt a little strange in his heart.
"Yes, it's you, you merge yourself. The elders won't take action in this battle for the elders, and you are the ones that you have the most hope."
"The artifact is so good, but it's still a little bit to find the companion spirit. Even if you find it, do you think I can fight for it? There are many talented people in the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside. You look down on me too much." Although Qiu Li is often cynical, he can see some things in the world more thoroughly than most people.
"You should know that there are many forces in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are also some who can provoke my first alliance and three castles. In addition, the evil sect with strange whereabouts, the only one among the younger generations is you and I have the ability to seize the magic weapon. And you also know that I have no intention of the world. Only you, as long as you can get it, will help my sect's strength, and will also avoid internal strife between your father and my father."
A slender and gem-inlaid sword left Qiujiabao in a dignified manner, and wanted to go to Jiangnan. He knew that he could not persuade his father to do what he planned, but he could stop him. His father wanted to merge the companion spirit to obtain a magical weapon? Then he would let his dreams become empty.
