"Okay!" Zhou Xiao clapped his hands in front of the stage in Tianyun City and watched the general in a robe retreat. Even when the curtain fell, he still didn't want to look away.

Bai Sinan touched Zhou Xiao's head and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's go home, Brother Zhou will blame me when it's late." There was some sorrow in her look that was unique to a girl's family.

Zhou Xiao looked up and noticed that the darkening sky was already gone, looked at the stage of the curtain call, took Sister Bai's hand, and went home.

The sweet girl pulled a delicate-looking boy, filling in a lot of bright colors in the dusk evening, and above the attic next to the road, a boy in brocade clothes and jade belts looked at the two people below, touched his chin, and said in surprise: "It's really handsome, but it's much stronger than those rouge vulgar powder." The gaze of the two of them flashed as they looked away.

When he arrived at the door of Zhou Xiao's house, Bai Sinan smoothed his clothes, pulled a strand of loose hair behind his ear, and knocked on the wooden door.

Zhou Xiao shouted his father on the side.

The wooden door creaked open, and a tall man stood behind the door, his long hair untucked and casually draped, with a tall nose and deep eyes that were rare in the South.

Bai Sinan didn't dare to look at him, lowered his head, pinched his cuffs and said, "Brother Zhou, it's a little late." ”

Zhou Changfeng smiled, "Trouble Sinan." patted Zhou Xiao's head and said, "Go play with your uncle Dongfang, it's late, I'll send your sister Bai back." ”

Zhou Xiao turned his head sideways and saw Dongfang Quan in the courtyard, jumped out of the door and shouted, "Uncle Dong." Ran towards Dongfang Quan, and did not forget to wave goodbye to Bai Sinan.

Dongfang Quan squinted and smiled, picked up Zhou Xiao, nodded the child's head and said, "Remember, it's Uncle Dongfang." Zhou Xiao covered his head and grinned, and was carried back to the house by Dongfang Quan. In the end, Dongfang Quan glanced back again, the girl who was very similar to Zhou Xiao's deceased mother.

Walking side by side with Zhou Changfeng on the road, Bai Sinan felt that he was fluttering, and the sound of Sinan seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

Zhou Changfeng reminded: "The world is not peaceful now, don't come out and walk around when it's dark in the future." ”

"Hmm. Bai Sinan squeezed out a voice, lowered his head, and was very happy in his heart.

When he arrived at an alley, Bai Sinan raised his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for arriving." Zhou Changfeng nodded, watched Bai Sinan walk to the door, knocked on the door, and was pulled into the door by a teenager when a "come" sounded, and before closing the door, the young man also glanced at Zhou Changfeng, and with a bang, he was the only one left in the alley.

A middle-aged man in the room opened his eyes, a scar across his pale left eye, and looked through the wall in the direction where Zhou Changfeng was standing.

When Zhou Changfeng turned around, he glanced at the wall lightly, and the man in the room was shocked, and his eyes were shocked.

And Zhou Changfeng has already left.

Bai Ye pulled his sister to his father, and the little man stood in front of his sister and said, "Dad, don't blame my sister, it must be Zhou Xiao's father who hooked up with my sister." ”

Bai Sinan hurriedly grabbed his younger brother's shoulders and blushed to prevent him from continuing to violate his father's majesty, and also to prevent him from saying those shameful words.

Bai Yanqing exhaled, looked at his son with relief, and waved his hand to let the two go back to sleep.

The night completely shrouded the border city of the forest country, the stars loomed, and when Zhou Changfeng returned home, Zhou Xiao had already fallen asleep.

Dongfang Quan stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking up at the sky, he recalled the vision of heaven and earth six years ago, even if he was far away in the Qi country, he could also feel the heavenly power that was wantonly vented after accumulating his savings, and the thunder was endless that night, and every heavenly thunder did not know how far it spread. It was also that night that Zhou Xiao was born, and his sister also died. He looked back at Zhou Changfeng and said, "I'm going to take Zhou Xiao away." ”

"No, I can't. Zhou Changfeng's voice was deep and firm.

Dongfang Quan's anger gradually ignited, the bones on his clenched fist turned white, and his figure smashed towards Zhou Changfeng with a flicker. Zhou Changfeng jumped and rose directly into the sky, Dongfang Quan smashed his fist into the air, and there was a muffled sound, and he flew towards Zhou Changfeng.

The two of them rose into the night sky one after the other, and the City of Heavenly Fortune gradually became smaller under the feet of the two of them. "It was because of your stubbornness that Sister Ling ......"

Before Dongfang Quan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Changfeng, "Shut up." Stopping the upward momentum, he looked at Dongfang Quan, who was chasing, "Hugh has to mention the matter of the year, otherwise I don't mind disciplining you for your sister." ”

Dongfang Quan sneered, the dim yellow spar light in his hand distorted, and the stretched lines condensed into a long sword. "Asked. ”

Lifting the sword and stabbing directly, the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, and the edge is pointed directly at the circumference peak. Zhou Changfeng clenched his fist and smashed it in front of him, with a muffled sound, ripples and shocks, and when Dongfang Quan's sword qi was a little sluggish, he put his other hand and two fingers together, facing this straight stabbing sword, the two sword qi collided violently, and a gust of wind swept around.

Dongfang Quan's long sword turned, and two streams of water gushed out on both sides of the sword body, and the water became more and more turbulent, winding around Zhou Changfeng, and the sword qi in the water made the two torrents look very manic.

Two red lights flashed in the night sky, and it was Zhou Changfeng's eyes flashing red. Flames erupted all around him, mist rose, and a faint rainbow of light appeared.

An old beggar cowering in a corner of the city raised his head, his cloudy gaze reflecting the scene of the sky, and he saw the battle between the two, and saw it very clearly. The little beggar beside him shrank back, holding the bun given by the good man in his arms, but the old beggar refused to eat it, and he was reluctant to eat it. The old beggar touched the child's head, and the surroundings seemed to be warmer.

Above the sky, Zhou Changfeng nodded at Dongfang Quan's forehead, but there was no trace of sharpness, Dongfang Quan's cold sweat flowed, he snorted coldly, and the sword left to the east.

The old beggar grinned, the wrinkles on his face deepened, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, and the night passed quickly.

When Zhou Xiao woke up, he couldn't find his Dongfang uncle again.

Bai Yanqing's family has been coming to Tianyun City for many years, and there have never been guests coming to the door, but today there is a celebrity, who is a famous matchmaker in Tianyun City.

The matchmaker named Tian Hongxiang is very happy today, she wants to talk about a family affair for the famous master of Tianyun City, that is, the Zhao family in the east of the city.

The reason for the task is to find a bride for the second son of the Zhao family, and listening to the big man who usually doesn't look at her screaming Hongsao, this heart is like a flower.

The second son also has a clear word, that is, he has taken a fancy to this girl from the Bai family, what a good thing this is, she is talented and beautiful, and it is a great merit, thinking of this Tian Hongxiang's round face, he couldn't help but smile.

But when she arrived at Bai's house and explained this matter clearly, Bai Yanqing didn't have a refreshing word.

Bai Sinan's face turned pale when he heard this, Bai Ye frowned, patted his thigh angrily, and said, "Cheap kid." And he ran out of the door.

Tian Hongxiang was a little anxious, if she couldn't say this, she might be in big trouble, touched the silver in her arms, took it out and said: "Look at the sincerity of the Zhao family, if you recognize this family, the silver will be in boxes." ”

Bai Yanqing asked with some doubts: "Then the second son of the Zhao family is called Zhao Kai?"

"That's right!"

Hearing this reply, Bai Yanqing squinted his eyes and got up to see off the guests, Tian Hongxiang sighed and said, "I'll come back in the afternoon, and you will have to give me a letter of approval at that time." Bai Yanqing sent her out with a smile, and Tian Hongxiang said before leaving: "This pair made in heaven, we can't go against the sky." After saying that, he left in disappointment.

With a squeak, the door of the Bai family's courtyard, which was not often opened, closed again.

Zhou Xiao was boxing in the courtyard, but he was pulled out by Bai Ye, who came in a hurry, and pulled Zhou Xiao to a corner, Bai Ye Zhengse said: "Zhou Xiao, I'll give you a chance to be my nephew." ”

Zhou Xiao felt very inexplicable, what was this talking about.

Bai Ye stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "My father is going to sell my sister, and he hasn't agreed yet, so he is probably waiting for a good price." ”

Zhou Xiao frowned, and his immature face was full of seriousness and asked, "What should I do then?"

Bai Ye told her his detailed plan in Zhou Xiao's ear.

So Zhou Xiao came to his father, hugged Zhou Changfeng's thigh and cried: "Dad, you must save Sister Bai, Sister Bai and his father are going to sell Sister Bai." ”

Zhou Changfeng was confused by his son's strange behavior, "Zhou Xiao, you stand up and say something." ”

Zhou Xiao still didn't let go, "No, Zhou Xiao doesn't have a mother, and he can't be without Sister Bai anymore." Somehow, Zhou Xiao cried.

Zhou Changfeng's heart tingled, and he touched his son's head and comforted: "It's okay, Dad will bring Sister Bai back for you, don't cry." ”

wiped away the tears on his son's face, asked Zhou Xiao to wait at home, took some money left by Dongfang Quan, and went to the Bai family. Zhou Changfeng thought to himself, "It's better to have a good talk." ”

At the same time, Bai Ye ran home and said to his father: "Zhou Xiao and his father will come to propose marriage in a while, if you don't agree, I won't have your father." ”

"Who!" Bai Yanqing, who was still sitting steadily, shouted out suddenly.

"Zhou Xiao's father, what's wrong?" Bai Ye didn't understand why his father was so excited.

When Bai Sinan heard this, he blushed and hurriedly hid in the house. Where Bai Yanqing paced back and forth, rushing Bai Ye back to the house. He couldn't be sure who the man surnamed Zhou was, and if something happened, his children would still be here.

When Bai Ye arrived at the house, he said to Bai Sinan: "Sister, when Zhou Xiao's father comes, you will go with him, don't worry about our father." ”

"Is this okay?" Bai Sinan blushed, a little at a loss.

"Sister, there won't be this shop in this village, I don't know your mind yet?" said and learned two sentences in a soft voice, "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou." ”

Bai Sinan was so ashamed that his face was flushed, and he pushed his younger brother to prevent him from laughing at himself anymore.

Bai Yanqing glanced back at the door of the house, and the white night in the house was trembling somehow.

When Zhou Changfeng came to the Bai family and sat down, the two men who were not good at words were silent for a long time. Zhou Changfeng just looked at Bai Yanqing quietly, as if thinking about something. Bai Yanqing was in a cold sweat, and he was very sensitive to danger, and he felt a life and death crisis in this person.

Finally, Zhou Changfeng spoke: "I want to take Bai Sinan away." Bai Yanqing's face sank and he didn't reply.

Zhou Changfeng picked up the small box he brought again, opened it and it was full of shiny gold, pushed it in front of Bai Yanqing and said, "I heard that the grimace only recognizes wealth." ”

Bai Yanqing instantly clenched the handles of the two chairs, and the two long logs shattered, and the knives flashed among the sawdust. There was a dead intent in his resolute eyes, "Okay, I've found this." ”

"My name is Zhou Changfeng. The tone was not flustered.

Bai Yanqing was stunned, and muttered: "Zhou Changfeng, Zhou Xiao......" suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed: "General Zhou?"

Zhou Changfeng shook his head and said, "I'm not a general for a long time, but I heard that there is a saying in the rivers and lakes that the grimace Yan Dao walks in the night, and that kid has to suffer a lot." ”

Bai Yanqing sighed, his whole body relaxed, "This is his life." Then he shouted into the house, "White Night, send your sister out." After speaking, he carried two cold knives, turned around and walked towards his house, "This is the blessing of the daughter." ”

Bai Sinan, who came out, looked at his father's door and was pushed away by his younger brother. When Tian Hongxiang came back in the afternoon, he was told that Bai Sinan had been taken away, and his round face was a little pale, but he still had no choice but to leave.

Until the evening, Zhou Changfeng looked at Bai Sinan who was shrunk on his bed, and sat on the edge of the bed by himself, he felt that something was wrong.

When I saw Bai Yanqing, I recognized the identity of his grimace, has the grimace reached the level of selling a woman for money?

Bai Sinan shrank by the wall, motionless, and didn't say anything, this was what her brother told her.

In the Zhao family in Dongcheng, in Zhao Kai's room, a corpse in brocade clothes and jade belt fell in a pool of blood, this person was Zhao Kai, and he was also the one who watched Bai Sinan and Zhou Xiao leave from the tall building.

Bai Yanqing put a person's head still on the ground, the cold knife in his hand, a drop of blood on the blade, and glanced at the dead Zhao Kai, "People in the city, who doesn't know that you are romantic, and you are also worthy?"

Outside the city gate, "Dad, why are we leaving?" Bai Ye's voice was a little choked.

Bai Yanqing looked at his son and said, "In order to avenge your mother, so that we can be upright." ”

"I want to see my sister. Tears rolled down the boy's face.

"No, I can't. Bai Yanqing stretched out his hand, and after a long time, Bai Ye trembled and held his father's big hand, leaving the homeland where he grew up.
