It was getting darker, and the atmosphere in the city was getting tense.

Groups of rebel cavalry galloped through the streets of Pingyao City, shouting General Xiao Maha's order, ordering the wounded soldiers to go to the barracks to report quickly, and they would be treated as deserters before the time came.

The routs on the street scolded and cursed, and helped each other towards the barracks.

Wang Qi was bored in his heart, and went to the secret room to rest by himself, and Yuanfeng closed his eyes on the second floor of the Xiangtianxia hot pot restaurant to recuperate, however, Feng Li, who talked a lot, always found some topics to argue with him, making the cold-faced swordsman unable to be quiet for a moment.

Sima Jiu sat in front of the window and looked at Pingyao City, where he didn't know where the sound of children crying and his mother's soothing voice came from, he thought that Yang Su's army would attack the city tomorrow, and Pingyao City might become a human Shura field, and his heart tightened.

"What's the matter, I've been in a state since noon, and I've been fascinated by Shopkeeper Liu? Be careful, I'll mention it to Miss Nalan Lingyun later. Li Jiancheng smiled and sat down opposite Sima Jiu, with a look of concern in his eyes.

"Alas, I just want the merchant to attack the General's Mansion at night, is it really appropriate for us to use money to buy other people's lives?"

Sima Jiu's voice revealed deep helplessness.

Li Jiancheng listened to him and didn't answer anything, just stood up and paced to the window on the second floor.

"When I was a child, there was a nurse who loved me very much, and once his own son came to visit his mother in the palace, and I was about the same age as him, and I played for a few days in a row, and I just felt that it was the happiest day."

Li Jiancheng's tone was light, he paused, and continued: "That day, we had an argument over a peach in the back garden, and I hit that child, you know, my father let us wash our bodies since we were young, and although I was small at that time, the strength in my hands was not small. ”

Sima Jiu replied: "Did you win the fight?" What about showing off in front of me, scaring people? ”

He also stood up, the lights in Pingyao City were lit, and the starlight in the sky was matched with the fireworks, how could there be the sense of solemnity in the front-line town.

"How dare that kid fight back, when he saw that I was in a hurry, he immediately knelt on the ground, and even called the eldest prince for forgiveness, his eyes, until now, I can't forget it." Li Jiancheng's tone was still light.

Sima Jiu said angrily: "You noble lords are just bullying people. ”

"And then, is he okay now? Are you still at home? ”

"No, I beat someone that day, and my hand was broken, and then my father found out about it, and from the next day, I never saw that friend again, and the nurse was gone."

Li Jiancheng's breathing suddenly became rapid.

I was anxious to ask my father, but he told me to leave these little things alone. Later, I was so anxious that I said that it was my favorite nurse, and the nurse's child was also my friend. ”

"What did your father say?"

"He said, our Li family can't have that kind of friend."

"He said that people are not the same." Li Jiancheng's eyes were full of confusion, he turned around and glanced at Sima Jiu forcefully, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"I know he's wrong, I know my father is wrong, but I'm ......"

Li Jiancheng fell silent, and Sima Jiu did not speak.

In the time of half a cup of tea, they were silent in the lights of Pingyao City.

"It's okay, we'll do something in the evening and show your childhood friends." Sima Jiu walked up to Li Jiancheng, who was a little mournful, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

"Foreman Xiao, Mouse Xiao, what about people?"

Sima Jiu suddenly shouted, and a moment later, a man with a roe deer and a rat eyes almost ran up the stairs.

"The sons want to eat supper, and the night food in our fragrant world hot pot restaurant is also very distinctive."

"What night food? Hurry up and find some clothes, we can't wear this outfit now. Sima Jiu urged impatiently.

"Huh? But Shopkeeper Liu has explained that he has served all the VIPs, and Pingyao City is not at peace tonight, so let you ......" Xiao Mouse frowned and scratched his head, I don't know which of these amazingly wide sons and brothers are crazy and want to go out.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I'm going to say that Shopkeeper Liu, who took our money in the afternoon and disappeared, what? Want to hack us? Go and take us to meet with the dead man of the merchant, we need to change our plans. ”

Sima Jiu's face was arrogant.

Xiao Mouse glanced at Li Jiancheng in embarrassment, and then looked back at Feng Li, the gold lord in his mind.

"What are you grinding, hurry up and arrange, it's time now, and it's going to be your head if it's too late to delay things!" Everyone shouted loudly together.

Xiao Lao scolded in his heart, so he had to take everyone to find the shopkeeper Liu.

In the backyard of the Xiangtianxia hot pot restaurant, there was originally a secret passage, and the five of them changed their night outfits and walked through the narrow tunnel for about half an hour under the leadership of Xiao Mouse before they came to an exit.

Sima Jiu was the first to drill out of the tunnel entrance, but he was met with a fierce sword light.

He had taken the Nine Leaves Cloud Sea Phoenix Feather Grass, and his physical functions had been slowly improving, besides, during the period, he also had the guidance of the Sword Saint Pei Min and the Swordsman Jing Ke, and now his reflexes have far exceeded ordinary people.

Sima Jiu tilted his head slightly, and kicked it out.

The attacker didn't expect the opponent to react so quickly, this knife was sudden, and it was too late to close the momentum, and now, after being avoided by the opponent, his chest was already empty.

Sima Jiuyi kicked the attacker in the chest, and the attacker Tengteng took a few steps back.

Sima Jiu looked at it intently, and there was a high-nosed and deep-eyed child opposite, only twelve or thirteen years old, with messy hair scattered over his shoulders, born handsome, and looked like a Turkic child.

"Wolf cub, what are you doing, this is our big gold master, you just cut it with a knife, cut down the gold master, and your sister's illness is incurable?" Xiao Mouse saw the Turkic child make an indiscriminate move, and he was so anxious that his beard was cocked.

Although Sima Jiu was merciful under his legs, this kick was really not light, the Turkic child struggled to get up from the ground, and when he saw Xiao Mouse, his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Uncle Xiao, Aunt Liu won't let me go, she said that her share of the money was given to me, so I don't want to make trouble, but I have been practicing sword skills for more than half a year this year." This Turkic child spoke Chinese fluently, but the tone was not the same as that of the Han people, he knew that Sima Jiu was the gold master, so he bent down and saluted embarrassedly.

At this time, Li Jiancheng and the others also came out of the exit of the secret passage, and Sima Jiu took a look, this is the backyard of a certain mansion, which is very large but very desolate.

Just now they drilled half a cup of tea in the tunnel, thinking about it, this courtyard is naturally still in Pingyao City.

"Ashinadu, you little guy, tell you to guard the tunnel entrance, why do you want to cut our big employer."

A soft voice sounded, Liu Meiniang was wrapped in a black night dress, her figure looked even more graceful, she saw Sima Jiu and his party, and her eyes were also very surprised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why are you here?"

Sima Jiu smiled and nodded at the little Turk, and then said to Liu Meiniang: "Don't worry, the investment is too big, the risk is too high, you still have to keep an eye on it." ”

"You!" Although Liu Meiniang couldn't fully understand the meaning of his words, her professionalism was questioned, she suddenly became anxious, bit her lip and stomped her feet, and was about to turn around and leave.

"In addition, if we go to the General's Mansion tonight to attack and disturb, our brothers will also go, and the rules must be changed."

Sima Jiu continued: "Our purpose is to cause nuisance, not to send them to death, there are many dead people, and we have to deduct commissions." ”

Li Jiancheng and the others on the side nodded again and again, indicating that Sima Jiu's opinion was their opinion.
