Pang Biao asked the housekeeper to send an invitation to Ding Bu, and he entertained him at his restaurant at noon.
After receiving the invitation, Ding couldn't help but gather his subordinates together to explain the situation, most people did not advocate going, but the housekeeper said: "I agree with the master to go, there are three reasons, one is that we have not had much contact with Pang Biao in the past, just the words on the face, this time it is possible to know that there are people in the old man's court, and they want to make friends with our master, and the second is that even if they don't want to make friends with our master, Pang Biao must have a request for a treat, and when we get there, we see the opportunity to act, agree, sell personal favors, and do things in the future, and the third is that there are other plans, and he doesn't dare to do anything in this city." , We can bring more people, wait outside, the situation changes, immediately impact, the lord will be fine, not to mention that the master is a martial artist, a few people can't get close, even Pang Biao is not necessarily the opponent of the lord. After the housekeeper finished speaking, he couldn't stop looking at Ding.
"Who else said that?" Ding couldn't help asking.
"I agree with the housekeeper's suggestion,"
"I agree,"
"I agree,"
Ding Buzhu saw that everyone was unanimous and said: "Leave the fourth child to watch the house, everyone else will go with me, and the housekeeper will arrange the sedan chair," "Yes, master," After speaking, the housekeeper went out to prepare to go.
Very early, Pang Biao sent the family out and told the family that when he saw the arrival of the person who couldn't live in Ding, he would report back quickly.
It was almost noon, and the family saw a group of people walking in the direction of the restaurant from a distance, and waited for a while, and saw clearly that it was a person who couldn't live in Ding, and hurriedly reported, Pang Biao received the report, hurriedly walked down the restaurant, came to the door and waited, and the sedan chair arrived, the sedan curtain opened, Ding couldn't help but get down from the sedan chair, Pang Biao walked two steps, "Brother Ding, I haven't seen you for a long time, since the last cocktail party, it has been more than half a year since today, how are you doing recently?" ”
"Good! Good! Thanks to my brother," Ding replied with a smile.
Let's go, let's go upstairs, drink and chat, after speaking, Pang Biao made a gesture of please and led the way.
A group of people sat down, and Pang Biao ordered someone to pour wine. End of pouring wine. Pang Biao said: "Brother, brother hasn't seen each other for a long time, let's make this glass of wine first,"
"Don't worry, my brother invited me to come here, there must be something, if my brother's brother can help, my brother is duty-bound, if I can't help, my brother is more forgiving, how can we all be from the rivers and lakes, fast people and fast talking, talk things first, and then drink," Ding couldn't help but say unhurriedly.
Since the brother said this, the elder brother will talk about things first, the elder brother has a trivial matter, a friend begged the elder brother here, and wanted to ask the elder brother for help, Pang Biao finished speaking, signaled to the housekeeper, the housekeeper understood, walked out of the room, and after a while, the door was pushed open again, and the housekeeper came in again, followed by two people, one did not know, the other person knew, Chang Dalu, robbed his old ginseng, and beat him, Ding couldn't help but read it, and his face immediately sank.
"Brother, when you see this person, you should understand that the elder brother wants to get things, this brother, someone entrusted him, bought a hundred-year-old ginseng, looked for a long time, only to find it, but he didn't think about it, he was taken by the elder brother, brother, you think this will work, you return the old ginseng to this brother, and then the elder brother sent people to look around, the elder brother is willing to return two more branches of old ginseng to the elder brother, what does the elder brother think?" After Pang Biao finished speaking, Ding couldn't help but ponder for a while and said: "Brother, this matter is difficult for my brother to obey, that old ginseng was given to the prime minister of the court, and this morning, someone has been sent away." After listening to Ding Bu's words, Pang Biao knew that Yan Qing's matter couldn't be good. Pang Biao swept his gaze towards Yan Qing, and Yan Qing nodded.
"Since the old ginseng has been given away, let's drink today, just now, as if the old brother didn't mention it," Pang Biao said with a smile.
"Brother, drink this wine again today, my brother is always a little useless, and I don't want to go, I don't drink this wine today, how about my brother set up a banquet for my brother another day?" Ding couldn't help but smile.
Pang Biao knew that what he was saying would be useless, and replied with a smile: "Since my brother said this, my brother is not reluctant, so I will wait to disturb my brother to drink in the future,"
Ding couldn't help it, after listening to Pang Biao's words, he stood up, hugged his fists and saluted: "There will be a period later," "There will be a period later," Pang Biao replied with a salute.
Ding couldn't help but take people away.
Yan Qing walked over and said, "Only take the next step, tonight, I will go to Ding's house to have a look, and then plan the next step." Pang Biao nodded and said, "That's all it can be." ”
The night has just fallen, two figures flew over the courtyard wall of Ding's house, and gently fell under the trees in the courtyard, one of these two people is Yan Qing, the other is Pang Hui, until today Yan Qing knew that Pang Hui had met a stranger, taught the eaves to walk the wall light skills, and from today began the agreement of where Yan Qing went and where Pang Hui went.
The two of them came to the brightly lit room window one after the other, licked the window paper with the tip of their tongues, revealing a small hole, Yan Qing looked into the room, a table of eight immortals, there were two people sitting on both sides, one Yan Qing had seen, it was Ding Zhu, the other Yan Qing did not know, Ding couldn't help but bow down, it was the housekeeper who sat down, the stranger was down, the person who sat was wearing official clothes, Yan Qing understood, the stranger was also the housekeeper.
"Master Cui, you came just in time, there are still people who want to take away this old ginseng at noon, and I prevaricate it," Ding couldn't help but say
"Who is so bold as to dare to ask for something from you, and does not want to live," said the stranger.
"The person who asked for it was not an ordinary person, it was Pang Biao with a deep background in green forests," Ding Bu said.
"Pang Biao,? Wait until you have a chance to teach him a lesson," said the stranger fiercely.
"It's good to have Master Cui's words, I'll look for a chance." Ding couldn't help but say.
"Well, we won't bother, and we'll go back overnight, and I'll have a lot of dreams," said the stranger.
"Then I won't keep Master Cui," Ding couldn't help but finish speaking, and said to the butler, "Bring the gift for Master Cui."
"Yes," the butler turned around and left after agreeing, and came back after a while, holding two bags of things and a brocade box, and put them in front of Master Cui.
"These are two letters of silver, it's hard money for Lord Cui, don't be too little, the brocade box is the old ginseng," Ding couldn't help but say.
"Haha, you're welcome," the stranger said and motioned for the man in the official uniform to put it away.
When Yan Qing heard this, she knew that they were going to Lin'an, turned around and greeted Pang Hui, flew up to the courtyard wall, and after landing, Yan Qing briefly recounted what she had just heard, Pang Hui listened and said, "Go back and discuss, it's too late, there is a forest ten miles out of the city, we will wait for them there," Yan Qing thought for a while and said, "Okay, just do what the little sister said." With that, the two got on their horses and ran out of the city.
Yan Qing and Pang Hui waited in the woods outside the city for a while, and then they heard the sound of horses' hooves from far to near. Yan Qing took advantage of the night to see clearly, a total of four horses, four people with weapons to rob the road is more tricky, Yan Qing made a gesture to Pang Hui, the two flew up the tree, Yan Qing took out the bow and crossbow, Pang Hui was surprised to see the bow and crossbow, and saw Yan Qing quickly send arrows, four arrows in a row, straight to the four people on the horse, only to see the four people fall to the ground on the horse, Yan Qing and Pang Hui jumped down from the tree, Yan Qing walked to the side of the four people, probed their noses, they were all out of breath, searched their bodies, found the brocade box and two silver letters, handed them to Pang Hui, and then used the dead man's saber to dig four pits, The man was buried, and the two of them left quickly.
Back at the restaurant, Yan Qing told what had happened, and then said to Pang Biao: "Big brother, after the matter is done, we will go back first, send someone to inform me in time if there is something, be more careful in everything, Ling Mei left with me, big brother rest assured, I will take care of Ling Mei." ”
"You should be called brother-in-law, you can go with confidence, I know how to deal with this kind of thing," Pang Biao said.
The next day, the sky was just bright, and Yan Qing, Pang Hui, and Da Lu were already on the road.
Three days later, Yan Qing and Pang Hui arrived at Dulong Fort, and Dalu returned to Lin'an by himself.
Yan Qing and Pang Hui came directly to Li Ying's residence, knocked lightly, and after a while, the door opened, and it was Du Xing who opened the door, Du Xing saw that it was Yan Qing and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, you are really not close to talking, just now, my eldest brother and I also said that you, I have been gone for many days, I don't know how things are going, I regret that I should send someone to follow you, before the words are finished, Brother Xiaoyi will come back, this is?" Du Xing saw that Yan Qing was happy, and he just talked about it, and just saw that there was another person behind him.
"Brother Xiaoyi, come in, there is something to say in the room," Li Ying beckoned inside.
Yan Qing hurriedly walked a few steps forward to give Li Ying a salute, "Brother Xie is worried about the younger brother,"
"Who is this?" Li Ying asked.
Yan Qing hurriedly introduced, "Big brother, this is the little sister I met in Guangdong, called Pang Hui, and I will be the younger brother and sister of the eldest brother in the future," Yan Qing said to Pang Hui after speaking: "This is the big brother Li Ying who told you on the road, this is the big brother Du Xing, and they are all my eldest brothers," After Yan Qing finished speaking, Pang Hui hurriedly stepped forward to Wanfu and said: "Please take care of the two brothers in the future." "Haha, that's easy to say! Say! When we come to Dulong Fort, we will be home, and we will be a family from now on. After Li Ying finished saying hello and sat down, Yan Qing said about going to Guangdong, and after speaking, he took the hundred-year-old ginseng and handed it to Li Ying: "Big brother, this ginseng is filial piety to the old lady, and it will definitely have a great tonic effect on the old lady's body," Yan Qing didn't finish speaking, Li Ying interjected, "Brother Xiaoyi, big brother thank you for the old lady," Li Ying didn't expect that Yan Qing went to Guangdong alone for a century-old ginseng, just to honor the old lady, and his heart was really moved. "Big brother, younger brother has one more thing, Pang Hui is good at martial arts, good at light skills, if Gongzi and Meihua have time, they can learn skills from Pang Hui," "This is a good thing, Brother Xiao Yi went out this time, not only to get back his younger siblings, but also to find a new force for Dulong Castle, let the two of them come over tomorrow to apprentice." Li Ying said with a smile. Duchenne knew that his daughter must be happy, and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, big brother rest early, and we'll go back." Yan Qing said.
"Brother Xiaoyi, I will also go to rest early, and the eldest brother will not leave you" After Li Ying finished speaking, he hugged Yan Qing again.
Walking out of Li Ying's room, Yan Qing and Pang Hui walked to the lake, neither of them spoke, and in the end, Pang Hui opened his mouth first: "Brother, are you embarrassed?" After meeting the teacher, I said to her, "Sister Hui, it's not that I'm embarrassed, I'm wronged by you," Yan Qing Pang Hui, Pang Hui also looked at Yan Qing, suddenly, Pang Hui hugged Yan Qing and said: "Brother, little sister is not wronged, as long as I am with you, I don't care about anything else, you and I are all going to the rivers and lakes, the little sister can think openly, you can see it, as long as the brother doesn't dislike the little sister," Yan Qing listened to Pang Hui's words and hugged Pang Hui tightly.
