After a sudden arrow outside the city, Chang'an City seemed to be quiet again, the princes and generals were busy with their own things, and the people were concerned about the martial arts competition held outside the city after a while, and everything was in order.

Xu Buling honestly stayed at home to recuperate, and by the way, he gaged with Xiao Manzhi, but his mind was outside. According to his guess, after the people behind the scenes tried to test his poisoning, they would inevitably throw a hook, and this hook would inevitably be finalized.

In fact, as he expected, after waiting at home for only two days, an unexpected but reasonable news came back.

On the first day of the fifth month, Daye Square, back street.

Lao Xiao, as always, shook the folding fan with a cane, and disguised himself as a storyteller on the back street.

The backstreets of Daye Square are mostly Goolan wine shops, and the configuration is not as good as the main street Zhuangyuan Street, but it is located in Daye Fang, which is more expensive than other places.

The princes and nobles will not come here, and most of the people who can mix here have some spare money, but they can't step through the threshold of Longyin Pavilion and Yingchun Building, and they can be regarded as having seen the world when they come to the back street. These people are all people, businessmen, and tourists, and they can be said to be the convergence of three religions and nine streams.

At dusk, the liquor shops and gambling houses have opened one after another, and the number of people on the street has gradually increased.

Lao Xiao stood on the crowded tea stall, talking about Xu Buling's 'deeds in the rivers and lakes', how powerful he used to be, and how he recently 'smiled and showed mercy' with Miss XX.

It's all made up of gossip and gossip, and the court can't control the mouths of the storytellers, and the people and Jianghu guests also like to listen to these things.

When you listen to it, you will naturally tell your friends about what you have seen, such as 'I heard that the prince of Su is close to whomever and who' and so on.

Nine out of ten of these messy messages are fake, but if you collect more, there will always be one or two that are useful.

The most difficult thing in the world to block is the mouth of leisure, no matter what kind of plan, no matter how strict and cautious, there will always be some flaws that are difficult to notice, such as a few words of casual conversation, occasionally passing by somewhere, and so on.

Lao Xiao tells strange stories every day, and the core is locked on Xu Buling, in order to listen to what these strangers from all over the world talk about.

And this afternoon, with the completion of 'Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the prince of Su Shizi Zhaohong met in the Wei River in the winter of the ninth year', the conversation between the two men at the tea stall attracted the attention of Lao Xiao.

"I live in Zhaiziling in Chencang, and there was indeed this incident the year before last, when many people died, the mountains were sealed, and many officers and soldiers searched the village......

The person who spoke was a man dressed as a hunter, with a bamboo basket at his feet, and the valuable things in the frame, such as animal skins and tiger bones, had been sold out during the day, and he was supposed to be going to come here at night to 'relax'. The girl who hooked the bar hadn't started to pick up customers, so she sat in the corner of the tea stall, lit a pot of good dragon wells before the rain, and talked to a middle-aged man from the same way.

Middle-aged people dress up outside, Lao Xiao knows, the small shopkeeper of a fur shop in Fang City, often comes here chic, I think I met today's 'fellow people', specially led Orion here to open his eyes.

Lao Xiao finished speaking, sat down at the tea table with a cane, picked up the teapot and poured himself a bowl very well, and took the opportunity to answer:

"Yes, I heard that thousands of people died, and the prince of Su killed it alone, that's really powerful."

This is the place where the three religions and nine streams gather, and it is too common to participate in discussions at the tea stall, not to mention the gentleman who told the story just now.

Orion and the staff naturally welcomed, just a cup of tea, and the staff member nodded: "I have heard the old gentleman say a few times, killing a river of blood, and dyeing the Wei River red......"

Orion put one foot on the bench, showed a little smugness, waved his hand, and said:

"It's not that powerful, I live around there, it's ten miles away, and the village has only heard that there are dead people, the water hasn't changed color, and there are not thousands of people, just a few hundred."

Lao Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a sip of the tea bowl: "Don't talk nonsense, the old man has been talking here for more than a year, and the book reads 'thousands of thieves, mountains of corpses', how can there only be a hundred and ten people." ”

Seeing that Lao Xiao didn't believe it, Orion was naturally a little anxious, sat a little closer, and said mysteriously:

"I know better than you, old man, that at that time, there was a bear problem in Zhaiziling, and I grew up hunting over the mountains and mountains, and I had a reputation in the county, and the county looked for me to catch bears and blind people...... The blind bear has poor eyes and bright ears, so I went up to the village alone, arranged the iron clips, and lay down in the cracks of the stones for three days and three nights without moving......"

Lao Xiao drank the tea slowly, showing a look of admiration.

Orion smiled, and also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "I remember that I squatted until the third day, that is, the night when the little prince met the thief, it was windy and snowy, and I couldn't bear the cold, so I was ready to go back......

…… Unexpectedly, the beast frame was trampled on, but there was no bear screaming, but someone snorted. I was surprised at the time, I didn't scream when I stepped on the bear trap, I was not dumb......

…… The bear was not bulky, but in fact very cunning, and I cautiously peeked through the crack in the stone, and I was frightened, and hundreds of men passed through the woods, silently, all with knives in their hands......"

Lao Xiao made a look of great interest, leaned closer, and listened carefully.

Orion looked left and right, and the heads of the three people were almost together, and whispered, "...... At that time, I thought they were officers and soldiers, but the clothes I wore did not look like officers and soldiers, and I didn't dare to show my head for fear that they were mountain bandits...... At that time, it was only a few feet away, and one of them stepped on the bear clip, and his legs were about to break, and he sat on the ground and didn't make a sound...... Two of the leaders came up to him, broke the clamp and healed the man's wounds, and said something as if 'Don't go wrong...... ......I didn't know what was going on at the time, but I didn't know what was going on by the river until the next day......"

Lao Xiao nodded and looked at Orion a few times:

"Do you remember what those bandits said at that time?"

Orion smiled and waved his hand: "How can I remember this, I am afraid of getting into trouble, and I don't even dare to report it." As he spoke, he looked up at the Goolan brothel, got up and motioned for the clerk to lead the way.

Lao Xiao looked back and chuckled: "What is this place, the old man knows a good place, that girl is beautiful and fairy-like, the price is not expensive, do you want to open your eyes with the old man?" ”

"Yo~!"

The staff was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this storyteller who was full of meat words was still 'not old', so he naturally nodded at the moment, got up and followed Lao Xiao into the alley with Orion......
