After confirming that the dark Yao did not appear, Xu You came out of the secret room and walked onto the deck, looking at the various parts lying on the ground, only to find that the fierce battle with Feiyao just now was far beyond his own estimate. They sat or lay down, their hands and feet hanging weakly, their knives and guns on their legs, and the fear on their faces seemed to tell the horror of flying in another way.

Eight people were killed and several were injured in this battle, which was not a big casualty compared to the battle with Kill Yao, but the psychological pressure and death shadow caused by Fei Yao to everyone was far greater than the sum of Kill Yao and Yue Yao.

The spear that flew from the darkness, with a piercing roar and an unrivaled momentum, made everyone never forget it for the rest of their lives!

Zuo Yan had already taken off the red cloak he wore when he was plotting to fly, and when he saw Xu You's figure, he hurriedly greeted him. Xu You rubbed his hands, bent his waist slightly, and said solemnly: "Soldier, hard work!" ”

"Don't dare!" Zuo Yan turned sideways, avoiding Xu You's salute, and said, "If it weren't for Deng Tao and the brothers fighting hard and forcing Fei Yao to the point of running out of oil, it would have been difficult for me to succeed in a sneak attack." ”

Xu You patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything more, and walked to Feiyao's corpse under Zuo Yan's guidance. Looking at this strong body like a giant, I was secretly surprised in my heart, saying that the ancient people were relatively short, and with what he saw and heard when he crossed over, it can be said to be real nonsense.

"The military has fought with him, how many grades has this person cultivated?"

Zuo Yan said fearfully: "It's hard to say, he has already suffered internal injuries when he fought with Deng Tao, and flying to the mast is the most relaxed moment, but despite this, the crescent arrow I stabbed out with all my strength was almost dodged by him." Lang Jun knew that the poison on the crescent arrow sealed his throat with blood, and there was no cure, but after Feixiao was hit by the arrow, he made more than a dozen moves against me, all of which were hard fights without tricks, and then he intensified the speed of the poison and died......"

Zuo Yan's true strength is in the six grades, and it is estimated that it is on par with the killing. In other words, Fei Yao should be on the sixth grade, and even infinitely close to the fifth grade, just one foot away from the door, you can step into the realm of "little grandmaster".

However, manpower is sometimes poor, and martial arts are not the only factor that determines victory, as long as the strategy is appropriate, the coordination is appropriate, and then accompanied by all kinds of tricks and tricks, with the strength of the flying, don't you also die here?

After Deng Tao witnessed Fei Yao's death, he immediately sat down on the spot, used his skills to repair the internal injuries suffered by his muscles and veins, and only at this moment did he finish pranayama, got up and walked over, his face was a little pale, and said: "Although Fei Yao is strong, he can change to other people with the same cultivation, but it may not be so difficult. His strength lies in the experience honed in countless life-and-death situations, no matter how dangerous and desperate the situation, he can find a way to deal with it in an instant, and will plan to make unpredictable counterattacks. ”

This is a wise saying, the cultivation of a few grades can only determine your level in the path of martial arts, but it cannot determine the specific victory or defeat of a battle of life and death like this. Just like Xu You before losing his martial arts, he had already entered the sixth rank at the age of fifteen, but if he really wants to fight Feiyao one-on-one, there is no doubt that he must be the one who dies!

Xu You seemed to have a hint of enlightenment, and vaguely caught something, but he couldn't say it. All his cognition of martial arts comes from the memories of fusion, but those memories are just the opinions and perceptions of a child of a family who has never really been on the field, walked the rivers and lakes, and experienced the test of life and death.

Zuo Yan frowned and looked at Deng Tao, obviously suspicious of him, but he didn't say anything in front of Xu You, and was ready to find a gap in private and talk to him in detail. Besides, if Deng Tao hadn't shown a level far beyond usual, he might not have been able to leave Feiyao behind.

Everyone has secrets and their own hardships, Zuo Yan is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, as long as Deng Tao's reasons are enough, he is ready to recommend it to Captain Ye as soon as he returns to Jinling.

Xu You squatted down and groped around Feiyao's body for a while, and sure enough, he found the same token again, with the words "General" engraved on the front.

Zuo Yan saw it for the first time, and wondered: "What is this?" ”

Xu You groped the edge of the token with his hand, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and said softly: "The answer to this question, I also want to know ......"

The stars hang down at night, occasionally crows and sparrows pass by, setting off gusts of river wind, the big boat of Yuan's mansion runs smoothly on the surface of the Cao River, when the Jinling City is far away, it is close to the ugly time. Feng Tong stretched his waist for a long time, his face could not hide his tiredness, and said: "Xu Lang, the dusk drum has passed early, the city gate is closed, I will wait to anchor outside the city for the night, and wait for the bell to ring tomorrow, and then enter the city." ”

Since the Han and Wei dynasties, curfews have become the norm, when Cao Cao was the county lieutenant, he once made five-color sticks, hanging around the county gate, but anyone who violated the ban at night was killed with sticks. When Wei died in Chuli, the wars between the north and the south were frequent, and the curfew was more strict in the troubled times.

The so-called faint and closed, that is, the "daytime" in the bell and drum tower flows out, four hundred drums are sounded, the city gate is closed, and it is forbidden to walk, feast, and light the lamp, which is the "twilight drum" that Feng Tong said. The fifth watch is to say that until the fifth watch of the next day, four hundred bells are ringed, and the city gate is opened, and normal life is resumed, which is also called the morning bell. Of course, there are also favors outside the law, and there are things like the rush of official affairs and the death of illness and childbirth, which are not subject to this limitation.

Xu You knew a lot about these, so he didn't think it was strange and said, "Everything is arranged by the steward!" ”

The big ship of Yuan's mansion slowly docked at the dock, and when it arrived outside Jinling City, there was no danger that there would be danger, Feng Tong suffered a day's sin, and then couldn't hold it back, so he went to another cabin to bathe and cleanse himself. Xu You was also tense for a day, but his spirit was still good, but his body was weak and weak, and the hunger in his stomach was unbearable, he was used to staying up late in his previous life, and he was used to eating supper. ”

Xu You's imperial meal is jokingly called supper. In fact, the tradition of eating supper has a long history, and there is a record of Qi Jinggong going to Yan Zi's house to eat and drink late at night in "Yan Zi's Spring and Autumn Period", but this is the emperor's prerogative, which is the so-called "imperial meal" - four meals a day.

As for why the emperor wanted four meals a day, Ban Gu of the Han Dynasty explained it in "White Tiger Tong Lile": The reason why the king eats four meals a day? There are things in all directions, and the work of eating the four seasons is good. That is to say, the emperor occupies the Quartet, so he has to eat four meals and put it in the world before Xu You crosses, but anyone who loves to eat supper actually lives the days of ancient emperors.

As for whether Xu You will commit taboos if he wants to eat the "imperial meal", in this era, advocating a free-spirited ideological realm, the more uninhibited and contemptuous of etiquette, the more he is regarded as a celebrity and gentleman, and no one will feel abnormal because of this.

Zuo Yan is now very respectful to Xu You, not to mention adding a night meal, even if he eats a few more, it doesn't hurt to immediately order his own soldiers to give orders, as a first-class soldier, except for Feng Tong, the whole ship respects him, and this little thing is still done by the master.

"Slow, since you have done it, let's do more, send one to General Deng Bai, and also send it to the sergeants on the night vigil, so that everyone can have a full meal." Deng Tao was injured, and Xu You asked him to go back to the cabin to rest and not have to be on duty all night.

"This ......"

Zuo Yan hesitated, Xu You looked at him and said, "Is Jun Hou afraid that Steward Feng will be blamed?" ”

"Lang Jun, don't you know, Yuan Mansion has never had such a rule, being a soldier to eat food, and being able to have three full meals a day is already Lord Lang's benevolent reward, how dare you have more extravagant hopes?"

Regardless of the troubled times, for ordinary people, it is still a matter of having a full stomach in the end, Xu You said: "It's okay, if Steward Feng is angry, I will come forward to dredge it." Even in front of Duke Yuan, he will not be punished for rewarding these brave tigers with a full meal. ”

Zuo Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Since Lang Jun said so, if his subordinates don't obey orders, they won't be able to face his soldiers." Come on, did you hear Lang Jun's words, why don't you go quickly? ”

After Feng Tong finished bathing and changing clothes, on the way over, he found that everyone was happily eating and drinking, and after asking, he knew that it was Xu You's idea, and he was a little angry, but Jin Ling was in sight, and the business was important, he didn't want to have more branches, so he turned around and went back to the cabin to sleep, and even Xu You didn't go to see him.

Of course, Xu You didn't care about Feng Tong's mood, not only did he eat happily, but he also specially asked someone to send one for the autumn equinox. During the day, in order to deal with the assassination of the four arrows, he let the autumn equinox mix with the maids accompanying the Yuan family and hid in the lowest cabin, which was the safest. This threat will be lifted, knowing that she is worried about herself, she must not have fallen asleep, and in the spirit of taking advantage of Yuan's more, she also prepared a night dinner.

After eating and drinking, Xu You regained his energy, and he was completely sleepy, so he asked Zuo Yan to go down and not leak the matter of capturing and killing Feiyao tonight, and then pulled him to chat. Although Zuo Yan is a martial artist, he is also literate, shrewd, and extraordinary, and he can talk to Xu You very well. In this way, until the fifth watch, the bell of Jinling City rang, followed by the noisy sound of people gradually from nothing, and hundreds of ships moored on this side of the dock also walked down many pedestrians one after another, and began to carry out loading and unloading transactions and various transactions with the city.

Xu You got off the boat with the autumn equinox, boarded the ox cart that had been arranged long ago, and drove slowly and steadily towards Jinling City not far away. The autumn equinox is the first time, the clear eyes are rolling around, and the mouth is from time to time commenting on the difference between here and Yixing: "...... The walls are a little shorter...... However, the gate hole is quite large. Oh, Xiaolang, you see, there are still water gates there, one, two, three, there are three water gates, it's really strange......"
