Suddenly, when he heard the mention of his son, the aunt immediately bowed her head and was cautious, and the uncle seemed to be uneasy, and after going out to look at it again, he turned back with a proud face and said word by word:

"My son Lan Chunhui was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he was the emperor's most trusted leader of the Imperial Forest Army!"

When Shi Zhong heard it, he was shocked again.

There is such a coincidence in the world!

After laughing, Shi Zhong saluted Father and Mother Lan again, and said seriously:

"Second Elder, General Lan is also fine, that day my two brothers, when they set off from Yongnan County, it was General Lan who personally selected the war horse for us and personally sent us on the road. ”

This time, when Lan Father and Lan Mother heard this, they immediately cried with joy, and Lan Mu knelt down on the kang to worship the queen again, and then asked impatiently:

"There is General Lao, tell me more about my son Chunhui's situation..."

After sighing softly, Shi Zhong said:

"Lan Chunhui is loyal, brave and fearless, although he has lost troops and lost generals, and has suffered eight or nine out of ten casualties, but he has never left to protect Her Royal Highness the princess and the little prince all the way, which is really admirable!"

At this moment, Father Lan suddenly seemed to be twenty years younger, and after listening to Shi Chong's words, he saw that his eyes were shining, and he stroked his short beard and said:

"Okay, good, good, so good, I want my Lan family to be loyal and martyred for generations, annoying the two generals, you must bring a message to my son Chunhui, even if you fight to the death, you must help the princess and the prince recapture Kyoto, kill the old thief Shanwu, and then escort the two palaces back to Luan safely!"

"Yes!"

At this time, seeing that the blue mother was suddenly full of energy, as if the illness had disappeared, Shi Zhong was so happy that he called back his younger brother, and then chatted with the second elder for half the night about the short and dangerous past of the parents, and then stopped.

Early the next morning, when the two said goodbye to Lan Father and Lan Mother, Shi Zhong quietly pressed two large gold bricks under Lan Mu's pillow.

After leaving this small mountain pass, the brothers Shi Qing and Shi Zhong hurried up, and after passing through a small town, they arrived outside the gate of Phoenix City at noon.

"Brother, you wait, I'll take a look at it first. ”

After beating the horse, Shi Qing looked back at the small wooden box on the horse's back, which was wrapped in a dirty list, and was also hidden behind a big tree.

In this wooden box, there is a big dog head in Shanlin!

After a moment, the weight of the cloak had been turned back, and he said with an anxious expression:

"The inspection at the city gate is relatively strict, I'm afraid we can't enter the city at this time!"

The two brothers had been working the saddle horse all the way, and they chatted with Lan Father and Lan Mother last night for most of the night, and they planned to go directly to the city, first find a high-end inn, eat and drink enough, and then sleep well, and then act in the second half of the night.

At this moment, when they saw that the guards at the city gate were tightly checked, the two of them naturally did not dare to hold it up.

However, with the skills of the two of them, those dozens of guards are not a problem, but the order of the free prince is to hang this big dog's head high on the city gate, so it must be completed to the letter!

In desperation, the two brothers could only turn back, and after running for more than ten miles, they returned to the town they had just passed.

Although this town is small, after all, it is close to Kyoto, and there are many people coming and going, and there seems to be a battalion of officers and soldiers stationed in the town, but it is also a chaotic and prosperous scene.

Victory was just around the corner, and the two brothers were extra cautious, originally looking for a small inn in a remote and inconspicuous location, but the two turned around but did not see the ideal place.

There are two big inns, but at the door of the inn, there are dozens of men with brave equipment, circling around.

"Brother, let's go quickly, this place is not suitable for a long time!" Shi said with a bitter face.

"Well, let's go, let's hold on a little longer, find a mountain forest to hide in first, and then go into the city for a few days after completing the task," Shi Zhong heard this, and hurriedly comforted his younger brother.

So the two brothers hurriedly urged their horses to leave, and just as they were about to leave the town, they saw seven or eight men in strong suits, armed with various blades, riding tall horses from the south.

I saw this group of men, rushing forward with high spirits, and had occupied most of the road, and when they saw people coming in front, they didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down and avoiding.

Seeing that these people are fierce and relatively strong, if they are in the southern home, sometimes light and sometimes heavy two brothers, they will not be used to it, and they will fight first.

But after all, this is an unfamiliar away game, and it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake.

Shi Qing and Shi Zhong, who were burdened with heavy responsibilities, could only swallow their anger at this time, and at the same time pressed down the cloak, and let the horse under the eaves of the houseside by the road.

"Phew..."

Just as the two sides were about to meet, they only heard the middle-aged man on the other side, wearing a silver silk gray robe, a green jade belt around his waist, a jade hair crown on his head, and an iron fan in his hand, suddenly pull the reins and shout to stop his black Wuxiao horse.

Stopping beside the two brothers Shi Qing and Shi Chong, who were bowing their heads, and glancing at the square and pitch-black concave side of Shi Chong's waist, the man suddenly smiled and said:

"Dare to ask the two brothers, but Lingnan Shuangyan?"

When Shi Qing and Shi Zhong heard it, they looked up in surprise, and suddenly became happy, and Shi Qing hurriedly smiled and said:

"Lingnan Shuangyan is light and heavy, and I have seen the owner of Beixia Xiaozhuang!"

When Beixia Xiaosheng heard this, he immediately laughed happily:

"Haha, it's really a place in life where we don't meet, I can't imagine that after five years, you and my brother met here unexpectedly, hurry up!"

Shi Zhong was also happy to smile and said:

"Exactly, in the last battle of Fengshan, although you and I fought a draw, but after my brother was beaten by the owner of Xiaozhuang with an iron fan, it really hurt for more than half a month, haha. ”

When Xiao Sheng heard this, he also said happily: "Haha, isn't it, I was beaten by my brother that day, and the red mark on the strand only faded after a month." ”

At this time, Beixia Xiaosheng's subordinates came forward to salute, and after everyone finished saluting, Beixia Xiaosheng asked with concern:

"The two younger brothers rarely come to the north, what's the matter with this cold and freezing thousands of miles?"

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, my two brothers are just bored and want to come and visit this bustling Kyoto," Shi Qing hurriedly haha.

Seeing this moment, Shi Qing's eyes flickered, and Beixia Xiao Sheng glanced at Shi Qingma's belly again, after the dirty cloth sheet wrapped in something unknown, he was happy again:

"Okay, I won't ask more questions, but it's rare to see, the soldiers here are not very rude, you go home with me quickly, and then a few more days, my brother wants to take the wind and wash the dust for the two younger brothers, and do the friendship of the landlord." ”

Beixia Xiao Sheng's sentence 'Bingyong is not very rude', obviously there is something in the words.

This time he didn't hesitate, Shi Qing and Shi Zhong nodded at the same time:

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the two of us will really go and disturb it. ”

So, the two brothers, Shi Qing and Shi Chong, followed Beixia Xiao Sheng and turned the horse's head, after passing through this town for three or five miles, they turned to the west, and after three or five miles, they saw a huge manor surrounded by pink walls, withered willows, and hanging around.

Continue to approach the horse, after entering the lantern hanging high gate building, you will see that the two sides are the verandahs of the four sides of the hand, the courtyard is connected with the road, the mountains and stones are embellished, and there is a simple plaque hanging on the five hugging buildings, and the golden characters of the four dragons flying and the phoenix dancing are written in the plaque:

'Shengrui Villa'

I saw the graceful and luxurious courtyard in front of me, the laply brocade, and the exquisite pavilions and pavilions, the quiet and beautiful pool hall water corridor, the big rockery, the big stage and so on all appeared in front of me.

I walked along the stone road in the manor for two or three miles, and only then did I arrive in front of a palace-like mansion with a pure wooden structure, lofty pavilions, and high floors.

Seeing that this house is magnificent, the green pine whisks the eaves, the jade fence is around, the golden glow beast face, the head of the color radiant, it is very mighty.

At this time, more than 20 servants have quickly greeted them, and after everyone dismounted and exchanged reins, Shi Zhong put two packages containing a change of clothes on his back, but Shi Qing only held the small box wrapped in dirty cloth sheets in his arms like a baby.

Seeing the two young servants, who wanted to come to receive things, they were light and heavy, and at the same time they went around behind them and got out of the way.

Beixia Xiao Sheng, who saw all this detail in his eyes, hurriedly waved his hand at the two servants, and as if he had carefully selected, he nodded at the man who looked like a housekeeper, and said to the two servants who were almost old:

"The three of you, quickly take my two younger brothers to the east box in the backyard, wait for them to take a bath and change clothes first, remember, from the beginning, no one is allowed to enter the backyard without my permission!"

After the three of them received the order in unison, Beixia Xiao Sheng smiled implicitly at the time when it was light and heavy:

"The two younger brothers, please take care of yourself, wait for the wine and dinner to be ready, and then I will personally invite them." ”

After thanking Beixia Xiaosheng again, Shi Qing and Shi Zhong followed the three servants, and took the lead through the more luxurious hall inside, and went directly to the backyard.

After sending the light and heavy into the three rooms filled with sandalwood incense and the hollowed-out carved windows shining into the speckled sunlight, the housekeeper-like man leaned over and said:

"Two sons, please wait, I'll come when I go. ”

After hugging his fists and thanking him, after the three of them went out, Shi Qing and Shi Zhong took a look at the room.

I saw that this room was very tidy, the furnishings were also readily available and the style was relatively high-end, a large bed was placed in the corner, one end was a checkerboard pattern curtain, the other end was a whitewashed wall, and the stone bricks on the ground were spotless.

"Brother, are you okay?, what do I think of that Xiao Sheng is a little abnormal!" Shi Zhong seemed to regret it a little.

Shi listened lightly, and replied with a frown: "It should be fine, this Beixia is rich and rivals the country, and his character and ethics are well-known in the rivers and lakes." ”

Shi Zhong was still worried and said:

"But people are changeable, a few years ago, I heard the legend that he wanted to enter the official career, and now when the country is in turmoil, he is close to Kyoto, everything is difficult to say..."

Shi nodded lightly and said:

"Well, this is reasonable, we shouldn't come, but if we come, then we should be safe, let's be careful everywhere, we must respond to all changes with the same, anyway, he wants to hold the two of us, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult, but you have to remember that you must not drink alcohol tonight, and you can't delay the night action!"

Shi Zhong was relieved: "Well, I know." ”

While the two brothers were talking, the man who looked like a housekeeper just now knocked on the door again and came in:

"The fragrant soup has been prepared, please go to the bath with the two sons. ”

Shi Qing and Shi Zhong heard it, so they picked up a package with a change of clothes, and followed the man out of the door, but Shi Qing suddenly stuffed the package into his brother's arms, but turned back.

When Shi Qing came out again, he saw him in his arms, and he was holding the small box that was tightly wrapped.

After sending the two brothers Shi Qing and Shi Zhong into a closed small house with a few pots of stove and warm as spring at the moment, the man saluted and said:

"The two sons, please soak and wash slowly, and the younger one will personally guard outside the door and listen, and no one will disturb him. ”

After thanking him again, when the man went out and closed the door, he looked back and saw that the water was steaming in two large wooden barrels filled with hot water and floating with flower petals.

"Wash, wash, wash, damn it, it's almost wormy," Shi Chong was so happy that he jumped directly into the big wooden barrel, and immediately splashed a large splash.

After an hour, Shi Qing and Shi Zhong finally soaked their muscles and blood freely, washed away the mud all over their bodies, and when they were about to get dressed, Shi Chong, who was still lying in the water, suddenly laughed:

"Brother, it's better to take that big dog's head and wash it. ”

was amused by his younger brother, and when he chuckled and scolded:

"You're crazy, a dirty dog's head, what are you doing to wash him?"

This time, Shi Qing said with a serious face:

"I have to wash it well, I'm afraid of the old thief in Shanwu, after seeing this dirty big dog's head, I don't know my own son for a while. ”

When I listened to it, I was even happier:

"Yes, it makes sense, it makes sense, then wash it, it's a pity that there is no rouge here, or we can make him come to life, haha." ”
