Lao Liu followed me and didn't say anything, but just sighed.

Back in the courtyard, I said to Lao Liu: "Everyone goes out to eat tonight, today I am engaged and find a good hotel." ”

Lao Liu promised to arrange for them to go out, I came to the backyard and saw the two Chen brothers sitting there drinking tea, and saw me come in and get up together to congratulate me: "Congratulations to the young master on his engagement, but our brother can't go out to buy you a gift, let's discuss it, there is something for the young master to make an engagement gift." ”

"The two eldest brothers are polite, we don't want to be vain, and I won't accept your gifts."

The Chen brothers saw that I didn't accept gifts, and the eldest stammered: "This gift young master must accept, if you don't accept the two of us, you will go on a hunger strike for three days." ”

When I heard this, I smiled and said, "Okay, for the sake of the two eldest brothers not going on a hunger strike, I accepted the gift, I don't know what it is." ”

Seeing that I agreed to accept the gift, the two brothers smiled, and the eldest took out a small box wrapped in blue cloth from his arms and handed it to me. ”

"Young master, just open it and take a look."

I opened the small box and saw that there was a swarthy bead in the box, and I didn't know anything about pearls and asked the Chen brothers, "What kind of bead is this?" ”

"Young master, this is a drug bead, I don't know what material is made of, when our two brothers walked the rivers and lakes, they robbed a lone ranger in the rivers and lakes, and found this from his arms, and the ranger said when he was dying: You won't use it if you rob it, you swear that I will die later, you can sell me a coffin and bury me, I will tell you what this is and how to use it. Of course we agreed, so we went to buy a coffin, and when the ranger saw the coffin, he asked us to dig a big hole, and then intermittently told us that this bead is called a drug bead, and if it is a knife wound when used, the wound is poisonous, you can put the bead on the wound, take it down and soak it in clean water for an hour every hour. ”

"If it's food poisoning, you can put the beads in your mouth, and it's also an hour to take it out and soak it in water for an hour, and the toxicity is gone in three hours, and he said that there are only two beads in total, and we hurriedly asked him where the beads were, and he said that he was there with his senior brother, but before he could say it, it was smoking, and after we buried him, it was a question of who managed the beads. The two of us brothers are still suspicious of each other for this matter, after all, with this bead, life has an extra layer of insurance, fortunately we are brothers, if it weren't for our brothers, we would have killed each other a long time ago. After following your master, when the master once told us history, he told us an allusion that called the story of two peaches killing three soldiers, and we realized that the chivalrous man wanted us to kill each other. ”

"Now this thing has lost its effect on us, and the two of us will not walk the rivers and lakes anymore, take this opportunity to give him to the young master, young master, you will be more dangerous in the officialdom than we are in the rivers and lakes, and take him with multiple layers of insurance."

As soon as I heard that it was such a good thing, I wanted to return it to them, but the two of them said that they didn't want anything, so I had to put it in my pocket and said to them: "Brother Chen, I want us to go out to eat tonight to celebrate my engagement, I don't know what the two of you think." ”

"Young master, go ahead, just bring us something delicious, the two of us haven't been out for many years, we're used to being at home, and we also need to watch the door at home."

"Okay, two big brothers, I'm here to thank you, I'll ask the hotel guys to bring it to you later, I don't know what you like to eat."

"Okay, young master, you can go quickly, anything, you can have meat and wine."

When I came to the front yard, Lao Liu was ready to stop, the two of us rode horses, Liu Lianjiang drove the carriage to pull Chunlan and Cai, and Cai Ming's brothers and sisters. Out of Yuma Lane to the nearest restaurant, this restaurant is the largest and best nearby, applaud to come to the restaurant again, I haven't been to eat, but I know that this restaurant is the best, so let Lao Liu come here, it is rare to have such a happy time.

I asked them to order whatever they liked, and I ordered six more dishes separately, and asked for a jar of good wine to send to the Chen brothers.

The wine and food are up, the three Cai Ming brothers and sisters are no longer gobbling up when they first came, and eating is also in order, I know that this is also the usual Chunlan teaching, in everyone's blessings, Lao Liu and I drank a lot of wine, this is my happiest time, happier than being promoted and getting rich, I and Zihan's affairs finally have eyebrows, although I haven't married back, but in ancient times, engagement was almost like marriage, even if I die now, it is estimated that Wei Zihan will not remarry. The advantage of three from four virtues is that it avoids the tragedy of many family breakdowns, and there are also its disadvantages, but on the whole, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

It wasn't until I was almost drunk that I stopped, Liu Lianjiang helped me, this time the horse couldn't be ridden, so I had to squeeze in the carriage with a few of them, and returned home in a daze.

When I slept in a daze at night, I heard the sound of a fight outside, and I was drunk and woke up quickly, so I quickly got dressed and got up, and when I came outside, I saw several figures in the courtyard outside, and I couldn't see who it was because the night was dark. I was just about to go out, the door from the front yard to the back yard was also opened, Lao Liu and his son walked in with a lantern, still carrying a knife in their hands, Lao Liu saw that I was going out, and said to Liu Lianjiang: "You look at the young master, don't go out, protect the safety of the young master, if you can't do it, go first." ”

I saw Lao Liu hang the lantern on the hook under the eaves, and the courtyard lit up at the time, although he couldn't see the appearance clearly, but he could tell that it was the Chen brothers, that was the attacking assassin, Lao Liu mentioned joining the war group, and the battle situation was reversed, and the attack was four people, all masked, with big knives in their hands, and the Chen brothers could make a draw against them, and now that Lao Liu had joined, those few people would not work.

I looked at the fighters and itched, and said to Liu Lianjiang: "Let's go up together and try to catch a few of them." ”

"My father won't let me, if you want a lot of masters, I'll go up here."

"Do you listen to your father or do you listen to me?"

Liu Lianjiang replied hesitantly: "I listen to you." ”

"That's right, come on, I'll go get the sword."

Since I brought my Qiushui sword, I haven't used it yet, I ran to the study, took out the Qiushui sword, and came outside with the sword, only to see that Liu Lianjiang was also dealing with one alone, the Chen brothers are strong in martial arts, I haven't waited for the battlefield, they have already caught the opponent, and now there are only two people left fighting with the ****, but they can't look at the posture, only the parry work has no power to fight back.

When the Chen brothers saw me come out, they didn't care about the two guys lying on the ground, and went to help ****, and in just a few clicks, they knocked the remaining two to the ground.

I took off the lantern and approached a few of the Assassins, removing their black masks and revealing that they were acquaintances.
