Cumulus Pass, the first pass in the northwest of Dazheng, according to the plateau in the west, the river in the east, cut off the Huailing waist, stand in the distance, but see the checkpoint and the Huailing Mountains are integrated, so there is the reputation of "Tiankai Cumulus clouds".

The camel bell is long, people shout horses neighing, the caravan is crowded, Jiang Anyi followed the caravan into the majestic Cumulus Pass, only to see that the Cumulus Pass is rammed with yellow rubber soil, the city wall is about five zhang high, the city gate can be used for six horsemen in parallel, it is not wide, I think it is for the convenience of defense.

Looking at the familiar faces and listening to the familiar local sounds, Jiang Anyi's homesickness arose. Lu Ziyue was covered with a mask on his face, and he couldn't see his expression, but those slightly trembling hands betrayed his mood.

After entering the city, the caravan went its own way, and Uncle Wang learned that Jiang Anyi and the others did not follow the caravan of Sha Suguo, so he invited Jiang Anyi to go to Wenjin County with him, patting his chest to ensure that he had arranged the naturalization of Lu's father and daughter. Wenjin County was on the way back, and Jiang Anyi naturally agreed.

Multiple friends and multiple roads, Uncle Wang is very happy. Jiang Anyi's martial arts are strong, one person can kill the bandits of the Qiang gang in Xiaozhen, and then see that the leader of Sha Su Guo is very polite to him, he should have a very high status in Sha Su country, and he often deals with Sha Su country in this business line, if he can make good friends with Jiang Anyi, it will be of great help to his future business.

"It's not my old king bragging, my lord is a leading figure in Huazhou, stomping his legs, and Huazhou has to sway." Because it was a return trip, the caravan did not have to stop to sell goods, so it traveled quickly.

Looking at the familiar picture in his memory, Lu Ziyue couldn't say what he felt in his heart, this is Yiding County, which is the neighboring county of Huangren, he has lived on this land for five years, and then he has lost his identity, no name, no household registration, he is still a fugitive, how can he look back on the past.

Jiang Anyi asked: "Uncle Wang, what is your master's surname, but he is an official of Da Zheng?" ”

"Zhongyi Han family, have you heard of it?" Seeing Jiang Anyi shaking his head, Uncle Wang smiled and said: "My lord is General Mingwei who was crowned by the first emperor, although he is a loose official, but every time Anxi is in office, he has to come to my house to visit. ”

General Mingwei, a military officer under the fourth grade, should be said to be not an amazing official title, why did the Anxi Metropolitan Protector come to visit? Jiang An was puzzled.

Uncle Wang said arrogantly: "The Han family has been trading with the Western Regions for generations, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family in Huazhou. Ten years ago, the Western Regions Coalition Army invaded Huazhou on a large scale, and Liankeshu City and Wenjin County were also attacked by Rong soldiers. My lord scattered his wealth to recruit strong men, and together with his family, he formed more than 1,000 people, and the whole family went to the city wall to help the officers and soldiers defend. After 12 days of bloody fighting, when the reinforcements arrived, the eldest son and the third son of the old man were all killed in the city, and more than 700 strong men were killed and wounded. ”

"Later, the Son of Heaven crowned the old man as General Mingwei, posthumously crowned the eldest young master and the third young master who died in the war as the general of Dingyuan, awarded the second young master Anxi Dadu to protect Sima, and wrote the plaque of 'Loyalty and Righteousness' in his own handwriting.

It turned out to be a broken family to protect the country, Jiang Anyi was in awe, and said: "Although Xiao Ke is in the Fan Gang, he admires the loyal ministers and martyrs very much, and hopes to have the opportunity to meet the old man." ”

Lu Ziyue was gloomy, and it was this disaster that ruined his reputation.

Uncle Wang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old man's sixtieth birthday is coming, I can't hide it, my old man is mainly buying birthday gifts for the old man this time." The old man has a wide range of friends, likes friends from all over the world, son, you are strong in martial arts, the old man must like it. ”

The 60th birthday of the old man Han in Wenjin County is coming, the congratulatory guests of Tiannan and Haibei have crowded Wenjin County, the people of the entire Wenjin County mentioned that the old man Han is honored, the inn is not enough, as long as it is mentioned that it is for the old man to worship his birthday, vacate the house at home for the guests to live, the old man is the birthday star of Wenjin County, the emperor exempted the county for six years of taxes, everyone remembers the old man's good.

When Jiang Anyi came to the Han Mansion, the entire street was crowded with people who gave gifts for his birthday, and Uncle Wang took them into the mansion through the corner gate next to him. Uncle Wang is the chief steward of the Han Mansion, and his words in the mansion have weight, and someone arranged to squeeze out two guest rooms for Jiang Anyi and Lu Ziyue.

Uncle Wang said with a smile: "Please rest first, Wang will not accompany each other if he has to do some handovers, and then invite the two to go to pay tribute to Old Man Han at dinner." ”

Small cross courtyard, five upper rooms, living a few scholars, two rooms on the left and right, on the left lived a male martial artist, and on the right was given to Jiang Anyi. The arrival of Jiang Anyi and others made the originally loose accommodation become crowded into two people, and naturally some people were dissatisfied. Seeing Jiang Anyi holding a spear and holding a long knife, a scholar with a long face stood in front of the steps and sneered: "It looks like a scholar, but it's a pity that this good skin is good." ”

Before Jiang Anyi could speak, the bearded man who was watching the excitement in the opposite wing first shouted: "Horse face, don't be sour all day long, be careful that Lao Tzu cleans you up." ”

Ma Yan was not afraid, and said angrily: "Insulting Sven, do you know that Xu is a classmate and friend of Han Mansion's grandson Hua Wenqing, if I didn't want to alarm Hua Gongzi, how could I be in the same room with you and other reckless people." ”

The bearded man obviously knew who Hua Gongzi was, but he was deliberately angry with the horse face, and said with a smile: "Hua Gongzi is a high school detective, I don't know how many of your classmates are in the first place?" ”

These words poked the lungs, and it was a sad thing in the face of the horse, Hua Wenqing High School Tanhua, who was recruited by the Han Mansion as his grandson-in-law, can be described as a spring breeze, and he has also studied hard for more than ten years, and he is still a showman, which is really ashamed and ashamed. The horse staggered back to the house, packed up the package and went out, and the people who lived with him stopped him to death.

In the middle of the commotion, someone at the gate of the courtyard said loudly: "Brother Xu, what kind of trouble are you, the younger brother is late to visit, and I still look at Brother Xu Haihan." ”

The few who stopped each other let go of the horse's face and stepped forward one after another, and the horse's face was stiffened by the neck and did not say a word. Seeing that the beard had provoked the main owner, he hurriedly entered the house, and Jiang Anyi and Lu Ziyue also entered the room with their things.

The cold and noisy voices in the courtyard continued, and it turned out that a few people were familiar with each other. Hua Gongzi was full of spring breeze, greeted him one by one, and finally came to the horse-faced Brother Xu, saw him with an angry face, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, the little brother is really busy, and he can't get out, so I will come to greet Brother Xu when I have time, Brother Xu, don't blame him." ”

Someone next to him told Hua Wenqing the reason why Ma Yan was angry, and Hua Wenqing smiled: "Brother Xu, what are you angry with these rough people, forget it, these people are also here to pay homage to the old man." Otherwise, I'll ask them to accompany Brother Xu. ”

There is no need to instruct, the servants around him stepped forward to invite someone, greeted the salute with a beard, and reported to the door: "Some, Hu Kaihua, Anxi Dadu Protector Tent participated in the military, and had a friendship with the old man Han, and came to pay homage to his old man's birthday." ”

Hua Wenqing frowned secretly, the military men of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate are not easy to offend, but Brother Xu's face cannot be ignored, especially since he has just passed the ranks, and others will think that he does not miss the old feelings, which is not good for his reputation.

Jiang Anyi and Lu Ziyue took Lu Zhen out of the room and bowed to Hua Wenqing. Hua Wenqing saw Jiang Anyi and the others dressed in the Western Regions, and knew in his heart that he had just heard that Steward Wang, who had gone to the Western Regions to prepare for the birthday ceremony, had returned, and most of these two people were invited by Steward Wang.

Business, friends, and face quickly weighed in his heart, Hua Wenqing had an idea, and said to Jiang Anyi: "Two, I'm really sorry, these two rooms were originally lived by Brother Xu, and the subordinates didn't know the etiquette, so they mistakenly led the two here." Otherwise, the two of you will move the place, and I will ask people to rearrange the accommodation, and these two rooms will be returned to Brother Xu. ”

In Hua Wenqing's opinion, such an arrangement gave Brother Xu face, and without hurting the peace, he casually found two more rooms for Jiang Anyi and others to live in, which can be described as a great joy. At this time, he was provoked by Hua Wenqing, broke out, and said angrily: "They are all here to pay homage to their birthdays, why do we want to move places, Hua Gongzi really attaches importance to this Brother Xu, so he invited this Brother Xu to live in a single courtyard." ”

These words were a bit heart-wrenching, Hua Wenqing's face sank, and his eyes showed murderous aura.

"People who are outsiders don't know the number of etiquette", "Bold, nonsense and insulting Gongzi, do you know what kind of identity Gongzi Hua is?" "Barbarians are not polite". The voices of reprimand were everywhere, and those scholars were afraid that they would scold too late and not shoot Hua Gongzi's sycophants, and the beard was none of their business, so they looked at the jokes happily, forgetting that it was their own incident.

"The rat who hides his head and covers his face, is it a traitor and a criminal person, with sinister intentions to provoke the relationship between Hua Gongzi and us, you must know that I and other classmates and friends have deep affection, how can you be provoked by such shallow words."

Hua Gongzi was very satisfied with this sentence, and nodded in approval to the red-faced man who spoke, so excited that the red-faced scholar became more and more like he had drunk too much and burned a knife, and he was so red that he was about to drip blood.

Lu Ziyue was stabbed in the heart, reached out and took off the mask on his face, revealing a half-glorious and half-burnt face, and everyone retreated as if they had seen an evil ghost. Lu Ziyue smiled wistfully: "You remember this face clearly. Someday......" the voice is inaudible.

Walking all the way, Jiang Anyi and Lu Ziyue talked very happily, knowing that this person is talented, and what he has learned in his chest is not under him, and he also likes military books and war strategies. It's a pity that he has a lot of fate, from a good family to a disfigured man, and the sadness in his heart is really difficult to say.

Jiang Anyi flicked his sleeves, smoke and dust rose on the ground, and everyone was so fascinated that they closed their eyes. Jiang Anyi laughed and said: "What a loyal heirloom of the Han family, Brother Ziyue, we don't stay here, let's leave together, why bother with these mundane things." ”

"Bold, insulting the Han family, Mo Feier and others are dissatisfied with the court?" Hua Wenqing's face was gloomy, worthy of being a scholar, and he was extremely skilled in wearing a hat.

"Vulgar things, who do you say are vulgar things? Hua Gongzi Jinke High School Tanhualang, the world's fame, the people of the world, what is Tanhualang, do you know? The scholars laughed.

Jiang Anyi didn't bother to pay attention to him, went back to the house to get something, and left with Lu Ziyue and Lu Zhen. When passing by Hua Wenqing, Lu Ziyue stabbed without yin or yang: "Tanhualang, Lu really hasn't heard of it, but I've heard of any champion Lang, isn't Tanhualang more famous than Zhuangyuanlang?" ”
