Shi Shiran got down from the carriage, a man in green clothes, smiling. He hugged his fist at the Brother Liu, "Brother Liu, don't come for a few days, don't come unharmed?" ”

When Brother Liu saw the man getting out of the car, he was slightly stunned, and then nodded lightly, "Brother Yin, but you came to me?" ”

The person who was called Brother Yin was still smiling, "When I came back from the next banquet, I happened to see Brother Liu and this one from afar." Brother Tai. ”

Then he asked suspiciously, "Who is this brother?" ”

"Under the surname Xiao, the two of you will talk slowly, and say goodbye in the next." Zhao Xian nodded, raising her legs to leave.

"Wait! Brother Xiao, you and I hit it off at first sight, why don't we go for a drink together? That Brother Liu stopped Zhao Xian, who was anxious to leave.

Zhao Xian couldn't help but secretly hate when she heard this, and she was slandered in her heart, when did she see this Brother Liu again? But he didn't want to make it too obvious at this time, so as not to arouse the man's suspicion.

Zhao Xian made a rather embarrassed look, "Brother Liu, it's not that you don't sell face, it's too late at this hour, I'm afraid that my mother is worried at home, why don't you and I get together again tomorrow?" ”

Brother Liu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay, tomorrow, you and I will still meet at the noodle stall at the mouth of the beef alley, okay?" ”

"That's very good, then I'll take my leave." Zhao Xian arched her hand, walked forward quickly, turned a corner, and immediately flashed.

Looking at Brother Na Xiao leaving, Brother Liu felt a sense of loss inexplicably in his heart,

"Lord Liu, did you disturb you below?" When the man in Tsing Yi saw the young man leave, he hurriedly changed his name.

"Brother Yin is too worried, it's too late, can we talk about it again in the capital?" So Brother Liu is not Liu Congguang or who is it? He went out on a moonlit night and accidentally saw what happened in Beef Alley, and then he was attracted by the peculiar way of thinking and special charm of the young man surnamed Xiao, so he used various means to keep him.

And this later man in Tsing Yi is Hangzhou Yin Ji silk of the second young Dong Yin Ren, he just received the imperial court a few days ago, hurried to Bianjing to make the Queen Mother's birthday dress, today through the Yangzhou branch, stranded for a day, tomorrow will leave.

"Very good, Lord Liu, Yin Ren will take his leave" He hugged his fists, and boarded the carriage and hurried back to his place.

The night was deep, but there was a faint light in a room of a house in Yangzhou City.

"Isn't it okay for the deputy envoy not to come?" Yin Ren smiled and looked at the young man sitting opposite, in the flickering lights, he faintly saw the silhouette of the young man, was it the young man surnamed Xiao who had eaten noodles in Beef Lane before and was kept by Liu Congguang in every possible way?

"Thank you for breaking the siege just now, but you deliberately rushed there?" This young man surnamed Xiao is Zhao Xian, just now she dismantled the word Zhao and took half of it to make up his surname.

"The secret envoy should not be polite, his subordinates are just a gesture." It should have been the humble words of his subordinates, but once Yin Ren said it, he always seemed so humble and not arrogant.

Zhao Xian couldn't help but look at Yin Ren carefully, only then did she realize that he was fresh, handsome, gentle and elegant, always with a smile on his lips, and his demeanor was friendly and polite, which made people feel good.

Yin Ren looked up, and just met Zhao Xian's gaze that he didn't have time to retract, how calm Zhao Xian was, his face couldn't help but blush slightly at this moment.

"Ahem. Brother Yin. Zhao Xian coughed, and by the way, she changed her name, and instantly shortened the distance between the two.

Zhao Xian, who has always seen a calm and calm atmosphere, now sees this touch of color that can't be blocked even if she wears a mask, which suddenly adds to the aura of the world, and Yin Ren's eyes have become darker.

"Ahem. Cough. Brother Yin, early tomorrow morning, you take Zhao Yan and the others to Bianjing, and everything will be left to Brother Yin. Zhao Xian temporarily changed the original plan, and she decided that Yin Ren would take Li Yu and others to the capital first.

"Isn't the deputy envoy going to Liu Congguang's appointment tomorrow night?" Yin Ren really reacted quickly.

"Exactly, he invited me three times and twice tonight, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, I will go to investigate, you just avoid his sight, go to Bianjing in advance, and also save extraneous branches." Zhao Xian regained her composure in an instant.

"My subordinates will do their best to live up to the trust of the deputy envoy." Yin Ren's words are conclusive.

"Thank you very much." Zhao Xian smiled slightly, she believed in Yin Ren's ability.

"The deputy envoy rests early, and his subordinates take their leave." Yin Ren watched the night become more and more somber, and hurriedly said goodbye so that he could go back to make arrangements.

"The master believes in this Yin Ren?" After Zhao Yan saw Yin Ren leaving, he couldn't help but ask questions.

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, let's wait and see." Zhao Xian groped the rim of the cup with her fingers and said.

"Why does the master want to go to Liu Congguang's appointment tomorrow night? If Liu Congguang doubted the master, wouldn't the master put himself in danger? We could have left Yangzhou early tomorrow morning. Zhao Yan raised his doubts again.

"Why not? Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the best policy. I, Zhao Xian, have never been the kind of person who goes back on my word. If you don't want to go to the appointment, you can find another excuse to leave tonight, and you won't tease anyone. To respect your opponent is to respect yourself. Zhao Xian said in a deep voice.

"What the master said is that his subordinates have been taught." Zhao Yan realized something after hearing this.

The winter nights are long, the night is dark, and there is no moon in the sky. It's still the beef alley, before the time comes, there is still a man in white standing at the mouth of the alley, the evening breeze is cold, and the corners of the clothes are rolled up and put down.

The noodle stall at the entrance of the alley was somehow not placed, so the man in white had to stand here. After a while, he smiled and turned his head to look at the man in Xuanyi who was walking slowly.

"Sorry, I'm late." The man in Xuanyi is Zhao Xian.

"It's okay, it's for my brother to arrive early." Liu Congguang's cold face was long gone.

"There is no noodle stall today, otherwise please Brother Liu try that noodle, it is delicious." Zhao Xian still had a faint look.

"I invited Brother Xiao to another restaurant, it tastes good, it's nearby, you and I can just walk over." Liu Congguang led the way while speaking.

Zhao Xian followed by her side, always feeling indescribably weird, "Forget it, if you come, you will be safe." ”

After two turns, the signboard of 'Lao Li Restaurant' appeared in front of you. The restaurant is not large, with only seven or eight tables and a dozen benches.

There are only two people in the restaurant, Zhao Xian is very surprised that he would come to such a humble place, "Brother Liu is not like a person who can come here." ”

"My mother's ancestral home is Yangzhou, and my father once brought my two brothers here, but I can't imagine that more than ten years have passed, Lao Li's restaurant is still there, but my father has been immortal, and my brother has passed away." Liu Congguang recalled sadly.

"I'm sorry to mention Brother Liu's sadness." Zhao Xian didn't know why Liu Congguang would mention her own affairs with her, a person she had just met. Maybe a person has been lonely for a long time and needs to find someone to talk to; Or maybe this lonely winter night is easy to arouse people's longing for family.

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Congguang waved his hand. "By the way, I take the liberty of asking, who else is in Brother Xiao's family, and where are they going?"

"The younger brother went to Bianliang to visit his brother and sister-in-law." Zhao Xian kept her mouth shut and didn't talk about family affairs.

Liu Congguang didn't mind, and asked, "What kind of business is Brother Xiao doing now, if you are such a talent, why don't you participate in the scientific examination, if you get one or two merits, you can also serve the imperial court." ”

"I have no intention of fame, I just like to travel in the mountains and rivers, and I am unrestrained." Zhao Xian replied casually.

"Brother Xiao seems to be very wary of being a brother?" Liu Congguang looked at Zhao Xian and asked.

"Ha Lu Ha! The younger brother just doesn't like to talk to people. Zhao Xian replied with a haggy face.

"Come on, Brother Xiao tastes the old Li family's "Dongyang wine", which is famous far and wide. Liu Congguang didn't mind, he poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Zhao Xian.

Zhao Xian picked up the wine glass and looked at it carefully, the wine was amber, clear, clear, and mellow.

"Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls with amber light. But that the master may be drunk, and he will not know where it is. Is this the rumored Lanling wine? Zhao Xian asked.

"Brother Xiao is really well-informed, this Dongyang wine is warmed and drunk, and the taste is better. Drinking often and taking medicine are good, and drinking in winter can also be healthy. Liu Congguang poured himself a cup and shook it at Zhao Xian, and drank it all.

Zhao Xian secretly thought, "Fortunately, I have also drunk alcohol on weekdays, and I have a lot of alcohol, otherwise this Dongyang wine will have a long stamina, and more than a dozen glasses will be ugly." She took a sip, feeling the taste slightly sweet, and when she tilted her head, she drank it all.

"Five-flowered horses, daughters and horses, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you." Drinking rose, Liu Congguang struck the chopsticks and sang.

Looking at Liu Congguang, who is famous for his indifference on weekdays, who would have expected that he also had a hot-blooded side, which is in line with the character that a man of this age should be.

"If he is not the queen mother, he is also a person who can be friends", Zhao Xian sighed.

Under the dim light, a touch of reddish dyed Ruyu's face, which made Liu Congguang's eyebrows more and more clear.

"After today, I may see you again in Bianliang. At that time, the two will eventually be their own masters, and they will fight to the death. Zhao Xian thought rather melancholy.
