The night is boundless, and the snow is as bright as a blade.

The smooth and hot skin sticks together wetly, and the rapid breathing drives the skin to continue to bond. Every unconscious touch is like lighting a fire, turning reason and flesh into mud.

With black hair and fair skin, the body in front of me is incrediblely beautiful, and every line is swaying to outline vitality. Slippery and warm, entangled with him, upside down madness, seductive.

Two smooth arms wrapped around his neck, clearly attached to the posture, but he could still clearly feel the strong power hidden under the delicate flesh. The hot breath sprayed into his ears, and the sly and smug moan/moan was like a sharp arrow, unscrupulous and invincible, and went straight into his heart.

"Xiao Feng, I'll hold you!"

Xiao Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and the whole person sat up from the bed. It was still dark in the bedroom of the inn, and he let out a long sigh of relief as he stared at the moonlight peeping through the crack in the window.

At this time, it is the end of the second year of Shaosheng, and it will be the New Year's Day in half a month. Xiao Feng and Xuzhu went all the way south via Hejian Mansion, and today they are settling down at an inn in the Daimyo Mansion. A month ago, Xu Zhu went to Nanjing to invite Xiao Feng to go to Bianjing with him. It was not that Xiao Feng wanted to help him in assassinating Murong Fu, but that he was afraid that he would lose his pure heart due to hatred. When Xiao Feng received the invitation, he was hesitant. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanshan broke in, not only agreed to Xuzhu's invitation, but also told Xuzhu that it was Murong Bo who lied to deceive Xuanci thirty years ago, resulting in the innocent murder of Xiao Yuanshan's wife.

Xuzhu has a pure temperament, thinking back to the martial arts conference, Murong Fuyi's righteous words Yan angrily reprimanded Xuan Ci's face and trembled with anger, how could he never imagine that there could be such a hypocritical and shameless person in this world! The enmity between parents, wives and children is not the same, although Murong Fu has never committed a bloody case with a sharp knife in his hand, but this incident is inseparable from him. Xuzhu instantly became angry, and immediately said that he wanted to take his life to pay tribute to his family who died in vain.

Although Xiao Feng faintly felt that the truth in this seemed to be a little unreasonable, he also knew that Xuzhu was angry, and it was not a good time to explain, so he had to express that he was willing to go to Bianjing with Xuzhu. It's not to help the fist or settle the accounts together, just because Xiao Fengshi doesn't want to see Murong Fu killed. After sitting on the bed for a while, the surging qi and blood in Xiao Feng's body gradually subsided. He got up and pushed open the window and took a deep breath, the cold air of the winter night spilling into his limbs and waking him up in an instant. Xiao Feng had always known that he should completely forget about the incident and Murong Fu, but his gaze still involuntarily turned to the pair of black sheepskin gloves on the table.

Just because it was very hard to travel for several days, after breakfast, Xiao Feng built yì Xuzhu to stay in the Daimyo's Mansion for one more day. Xu Zhu came all the way and was silent and silent, because although Xiao Feng made suggestions, he didn't have much expectations in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Xuzhu was silent for a while, and replied in a low voice: "Just as the eldest brother said, stay for one more day." The younger brother also wants to see the customs here. ”

Xu Zhu had this thought, Xiao Feng was naturally obligated to accompany him to wander around the Daimyo's Mansion for a day. The Daimyo Mansion is one of the five capitals in the Song Dynasty, with a splendid culture and rich people. Just because of the Zhengdan fall, this place is indescribably bustling and prosperous. Walking along the road, all kinds of shops on the side of the road, goods, buying and selling performances, and not talking about him. Just look at the crowds of people in the streets and alleys, although there are still rich and poor, but their faces are stretched out, and their looks show their extreme confidence in a better life in the future.

This is the realm of the Great Song Dynasty, which is different from the Liao Kingdom, which is accustomed to speaking with knives and whips, and even more different from the once lifeless Xia Kingdom. Cang Liao is full of etiquette, and food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace. The people here are courteous, the cities are clean and hygienic, the life here is stable and peaceful, and the whole country is thriving.

Xu Zhu stood at the entrance of the alley and watched a few famous Song Dynasty generals such as Chong Ge, Seed Master Dao, and Zhi Keshi, playing the frolic of "Pacifying the Xia Kingdom", and suddenly smiled incomprehensibly. "Big brother, let's drink!"

Xiao Feng has always been good at wine, but Xuzhu is not at all. However, during this period of time, Xu Zhu always proposed to drink, but Xiao Feng couldn't refuse.

After a while, the two sat down by the window on the second floor of a restaurant and simply ordered a few drinks and dishes. After three rounds of drinking, Xuzhu suddenly whispered: "When Shaolin held a martial arts conference, the younger brother was ordered to go out of the temple to send the hero's post, and he also came to the Daimyo's mansion. At that time, the Daimyo's mansion was prosperous, but the lives of the common people were ......," he couldn't help laughing at himself. "Since the suppression of the Xia Kingdom, the people have become more and more confident and high-spirited." At that time, Xuzhu passed through the Daimyo's Mansion, and what impressed him was those merry students who traveled with prostitutes, and in the eyes of the monk Xuzhu, they were really bad and moral. Now that they have revisited the old place, these students have less beautiful singers by their side, but they have an extra long sword at their waists. Even the people of Qianshou often talk about when Wang Shi will go north and destroy the shame of Khitan Snow for a hundred years.

Although Xuzhu married the princess of Western Xia, he was a Han after all. "We have come this way, the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, and the young have their growth. He may not be a good man, but he is a good officer. If I kill him, I wonder how many people in the world will be burdened by me and hate me to the bone......"

Hearing Xuzhu's words, Xiao Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly persuaded: "Second brother, the chivalrous people of my generation should put the people of the world first. ”

Xu Zhu also knew that although Xiao Feng walked with him all the way, he might not agree with what he did, and when he heard Xiao Feng's heartfelt words today, he couldn't help but ask: "Did the eldest brother never want me to kill Murong Fu?" ”

Xiao Feng was silent for a while, and confessed: "No one is perfect, and it is normal for the second brother to hold a grudge against Murong Fu because of his parents, wife and children. If you want to kill him, it may be against the law, but there is nothing wrong with human feelings. It's just that...... I can't just watch you kill him. ”

Xu Zhu had already learned from Xiao Yuanshan's mouth that Xiao Feng and Murong Fu also had a righteous relationship, he firmly believed in Buddhism by nature, and when he heard Xiao Feng frankly say that "you can't kill Murong Fu", he was not angry, but asked curiously: "Big brother, I know that I have a debt and a debt." But don't you hate him for lying to you? ”

"I used to hate it to the bone," Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh deeply when talking about the past. "It wasn't until I returned to Daliao and saw the officialdom, fame and fortune, and people's hearts that I finally understood that we had been friends for ten years, even if there had been deception and use, but there must still be some sincerity in this. …… No one can fake it for ten years, even if he is Murong, but unfortunately I didn't understand it at that time. ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhu couldn't help but raise his head and carefully look at Xiao Feng for a while. At that time, Xuzhu met Xiao Feng in Shaolin, and Xiao Feng was generous and heroic at that time, and taught Xuzhu to admire him, and secretly said: The big husband and the big hero should be like this! Many years have passed, although Xiao Feng is still heroic, the fierce and flamboyant momentum on his body has been retracted without a trace, and it has been replaced by calm and heavy. However, between the expectations, there will be a faint hint of depression, which is unpredictable. It was only at this time that Xu Zhufang suddenly realized: Maybe breaking with Murong Fu was really a heavy blow to Xiao Feng, so that after many years, he still remembered it, and even his temperament became like a different person.

But Xiao Feng quickly collected his thoughts and got back to business: "Second brother, do you still want to go to Bianjing?" ”

"Go!" Xuzhu said categorically, "Go and meet this Lord Murong, listen to what he has to say, and then ......" and then how to choose, but Xuzhu didn't know. He is not selfish enough, so selfish that he ignores the well-being of the world and only remembers his own hatred. Of course, he is not selfless enough, selfless enough to let go of hatred for the sake of the well-being of the people of the world. After all, he is just an ordinary person. Speaking of this, Xu Zhu couldn't help but ask. "If the eldest brother sees Murong Fu, what should he do?"

Xiao Feng seemed to have only remembered this question now, and he was at a loss.

But at this moment, several students who were sitting at the table next to them suddenly broke out into a fierce dispute.

"Dali state affairs have always been respectful to my Great Song Dynasty, if the Great Song Dynasty covets its land, isn't it unjust?" The first to speak was an old scholar in his forties. As soon as his voice fell, several scholars immediately echoed him.

Of course, several young students retorted: "The monarch of Dali and the people of Dali are both coerced by powerful ministers, is it unjust for the Great Song Dynasty to help?" ”

The seven or eight people were divided into two factions and quarreled, and soon many of the guests on the same floor were involved in the battle. Seeing that there were more and more people on the young students' side, the old scholar who took the lead in speaking was annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly: "That Lord Zuo is a powerful minister himself, holding the official family to monopolize the government, and what else does Gao Shengtai say is a powerful minister?" Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter! ”

When the young students heard this, they were even more furious, and immediately retorted loudly: "Lord Murong will level Xixia, change the rule of officials, and revitalize business, so that all kinds of waste will be revived, and the government will be harmonious." This is a national soldier, is he a powerful minister? ”

The noisy of those scholars and ordinary people, Xiao Feng and Xuzhu had no intention of listening to it anymore. They only summoned Xiao Er over and asked anxiously, "What is going on with the Dali Kingdom mentioned by those scholars?" ”

After two months of fermentation, the matter of the request for annexation by the Shangshu Imperial Court in the south of Dali Town has long been known to the whole country, and the shopkeeper saw that he met two ignorant Dengshi Yile, and hurriedly wiped a Jiaozi that Xiao Feng took out casually into his arms, and carefully described the antecedents to them. In the end, he said even more proudly: "When Shaosheng is in the third year of Zhengdan Dynasty, the lord of Dali will definitely send an envoy to congratulate." When will Dali be attached, there must be a saying! "The shopkeeper took the reward, but he was also thoughtful. Seeing that the other end was noisy, he hurriedly bent down and asked, "There is a lot of noise here, would the two distinguished guests be willing to change to a quiet place?" ”

"No need." At this time, how can Xiao Feng still be in the mood? I saw him casually wave away from the shopkeeper and exchange a worried look with Xuzhu.

It was already dusk when he returned to the inn, and Xiao Feng and Xuzhu agreed to leave early tomorrow morning and rush to Bianjing to find out the news of Dali. As soon as he pushed the door of the room, he saw Ah Zi staying in his guest room, waiting for him while eating snacks.

"Ah Zi?" Seeing Ah Zi appear, Xiao Feng had a headache. "Why are you here?"

But Ah Zi was full of joy when he saw Xiao Feng, and immediately threw himself into Xiao Feng's arms with his hands open. "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I've worked so hard to find you! ”

Seeing this, Xiao Feng hurriedly dodged over, and replied: "How many times have you said it, call me 'Brother Xiao', don't call me 'brother-in-law'." Ah Zhu has been innocent all her life, she knows everything, and she must not be happy for you to call me that. When Ah Zhu was dying, he changed his words and called Xiao Feng "Uncle Xiao", and Xiao Feng understood that it was the meaning of determination. Xiao Feng knew that he had a negative Azhu, so he didn't want to brush her mind and tarnish her reputation behind her.

Ah Zi pounced, his mouth flattened, and his eyes were suddenly full of tears. "Sister Azhu is gone, I only have you as a relative in the world. Brother-in-law, don't you even want me now? ”

Xiao Feng was unmoved, and only replied calmly: "Your relatives are in Dali." Ah Zi, if you still want to follow me, you will go back to Nanjing obediently tomorrow. Or, I'll take you with me to Bianjing and return you to your biological father, who is now in Bianjing. ”

"No!" The two choices Xiao Feng gave were obviously not what Ah Zi wanted, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet and scream loudly. "I won't go back to Nanjing, and I won't go to see my father! Brother-in-law, I want to follow you! I just want to follow you! ”

Xiao Feng still stubbornly shook his head. "You are getting older every day, and you can't tell you what you can do."

"I don't care!" Ah Zi shouted eagerly.

"I care!"

If it is said that before Ah Zhu died, Xiao Feng was still ignorant of love and did not understand Ah Zi's intentions. Then after Azhu's death, he was already in the sea. Just because of his stupidity and stupidity, Ah Zhu lost his life, Xiao Feng was unwilling and couldn't harm Ah Zi.

"That's it, I don't worry about you going back to Nanjing like this without martial arts, so it's better to go to Bianjing with me." Ah Zi immediately showed joy when he heard this, but Xiao Feng immediately added a sentence. "When you meet your father, your parents are in charge of marriage matters."

Seeing that Xiao Feng was so resolute, Ah Zi immediately cried loudly. "I'm not married! I will marry no one but you! Brother-in-law, why don't you always understand my heart for you? ”

Ah Zi said it so bluntly, Xiao Feng immediately looked embarrassed and turned around to leave.

"Brother-in-law!" Ah Zi pounced again regardless of it. With her skills, she naturally couldn't catch Xiao Feng, but even if the wolf fell to the ground, she still hugged Xiao Feng's calf tightly. "Brother-in-law, don't go...... Don't leave...... Sister Azhu sacrificed her life for you, you don't like it; I accompany you to herd horses and sheep, and you don't like it. All you think about is the person who makes you sigh and gives you nightmares all day long! Why? Why don't you look at me? Am I not beautiful enough? Is she prettier than me? She's not around you, so why do you have to think about her? ”

Xiao Feng felt a pain in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Ah Zi, stop it!" Don't talk nonsense! ”

However, Ah Zi was aggrieved and jealous, and cried like crazy: "You defend her!" You're still protecting her! Who the hell is she? Whose gloves do you wear every day? …… I'm going to kill her! Kill her......"

Xiao Feng didn't answer, he just stood quietly in place, like a lifeless statue. Ah Zi's affection, crazy but fiery. So much so that even if she was full of resentment, Xiao Feng couldn't blame her. This situation and this scene couldn't help but make him think a lot of things, drifting to the distant past. Once, there was also such a person, holding his cheeks and smiling at him: "The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost." ”

Xiao Feng knew that the other party was teasing him and Ah Zhu, and he wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry when he looked at the sly and vivid smile. My heart only passed through Mr. Su's words for no reason: I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. He was too young to understand what it meant, but now he is so old.

I knew it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning.
