The old man pretended not to hear, "The purpose of their search is still unknown. But Liu Dong came back and said that Liu Zi was chased to the mountains and forests, which should be true. ”

"But it's been a few hours, and he hasn't come back yet, is he blocked, can't come back, and hides in the mountains?"

Uncle Li shook his head, "Now, it doesn't matter. Judging from the past two months, Liu Zi was not able to take on the task at all, and this time he personally took risks, and after the failure, he almost led the official army to the cottage...... Hum! It's hopeless! ”

"Will the officers and soldiers really search our Lehuo Village?" The old man was worried.

"I can't say." Uncle Li said in a deep voice, "Those who go out must be careful and try to avoid the official army. ”

"Yes. By the way, what's going on with those two, how did you bring outsiders back? ”

Uncle Li briefly said the matter, and suddenly smiled: "Don't you think that these two people who happened to be lost in the mountains today are really too coincidental?" They must not be telling the truth, and I will pry their mouths open. ”

Sima Xin was taken to a small room, and he sat upright on a chair with his usual face. But he and Zheng Sheng were separated, which made Sima Xin a little uneasy.

But Sima Xin couldn't care about Zheng Sheng, because that Uncle Li appeared again.

Uncle Li watched him salute respectfully in surprise, with a correct posture and a calm expression.

"He is worthy of being a child of the Shi Situ family." Uncle Li sighed, "A certain person is an idler in this Lehuo village, and his surname is Li Ming, and the word is Jingbai." ”

Sima Xin shook his head and called: "Brother Li." But that's all, he didn't know the man before.

"Former Shunyang Gong Cao Liu Yu's account officer, Li Cheng, who was questioned with him, is my brother."

Sima Xin was surprised, this person he knew that Li Cheng was one of the key figures in Liu Yu's case a few years ago. After thinking about it, it is indeed normal for him to appear in this cottage. But what Sima Xin couldn't figure out was why Li Xun wanted to explain his identity.

Li Xun sat opposite him calmly, "I told my identity, I might as well let go of the worries in my heart, and you and I will talk heart-to-heart." ”

Sima Xin slowly bowed his head, "My name is Shi Te, I am the grandson of Wugong Shibao, the nephew of the county prince Shitong, and my father is Huangmenlang is Shi Jun." Today is indeed to Nanxiang to visit the mountains, but I lost my path in this Taihe Mountain. ”

Li Xun was puzzled: "Today, the official army is Suo Taihe Mountain. Even the hunting house in the village went out to chop firewood for hunting, and the origin of the soldiers must be strictly investigated. I heard that even the road into the mountain has been blocked, so how do you get into the mountain? ”

Sima Xin shook his head, "I don't know, when I entered the mountain this morning, there were no officers and soldiers to investigate. Sima Xin thought to himself, this is to hunt down Liu Yang and look for him and Zheng Sheng, right? But that's what happened after he went into the mountain. He said that he entered the mountain in the morning, and he was not wrong.

Li Xun continued to ask, "I see. So, where did Wang Xiang come from? You're his friend, but I see that kid is messy and has bloody scars, what's going on? I don't think he's a friend of his feet. ”

Sima Xin was silent for a moment and said, "That Wang Xiang is also the one I only met today, a child from a village outside the mountain, why he entered the mountain, I don't know." As for friends, I think people with the same temperament and like-minded people can be friends, but what is the difference in status and status? ”

"Same temperament? Minded? I have only known this place for half a day at most, how can I taste its nature? Li Xun was even more interested.

Sima Xin frowned, as if dissatisfied, and said, "The most important word for filial piety in a certain family, although Wang Xiang is a child, he is very filial to his mother. Therefore, I would like to be his friend. ”

Li Xun laughed, and after laughing, he said in a deep voice: "I see, it's good." Let's rest, tomorrow morning, someone will send someone out to see if the officers and soldiers have left, if they have not withdrawn, please stay down for a few more days. ”

"Thank you." Sima Xin said.

Li Xun left the room with a smile, and before the old grandson who was outside came to him, he found Li Xun's gloomy face, so he stayed where he was, not daring to ask again.

Li Xun walked into the house on the side, this was Zheng Sheng's residence.

Zheng Sheng has been anxious in his heart, this person who seeks to survive is really strict, and he separates the two of them, is he afraid that they will "collude with each other"? It's really a bit of a hassle now, if one of them shows a flaw, or if the two of them contradict each other, won't it be over immediately?

Li Xun walked in, his face was still pale, Zheng Sheng was startled, but his words made Zheng Sheng even more shocked, "Wang Xiang, Shi Te has already said that you are actually from Qingzhuling." Tian Bao, who is close to my house, wants to blend in with my Lehuo Village? ”

Zheng Sheng's thoughts turned in his heart, could it be that Sima Xin exposed him, wouldn't it? Zheng Sheng felt that something was wrong, this guy was cheating on him, right? If Sima Xin really exposed something, would he still talk to him?

Do you really think I'm a bully for a child?

"What, Qingzhuling? I'm not, but I'm from the Zheng Manor, and I haven't had a chance to go to Qingzhuling yet! I also want to go to Qingzhuling. What deliberately approached your family Tian Bao, I didn't! We're obviously making a fish together. ”

"So you're from the Zheng Manor?"

"Yes, my family is a tenant of Zheng Shizi's family!" Zheng Sheng said proudly. Mrs. Wang has always taken good care of her tenants, and in front of ordinary people, the tenants of the Marquis of Danyin are entitled to be proud.

In this way, Li Xun was a little unsure, and he actually deceived Wang Xiang into being a tenant of Zheng Sheng's family. But what's the use of it, he won't do anything to the son of a tenant of a family.

Li Xun asked in a deep voice: "So, how did you know Shi Te?" ”

Zheng Sheng was at a loss, who is Shi Te?

Li Xun said sharply: "Xiao'er, aren't you still telling the truth? ”

Zheng Sheng was a little annoyed, who knows which Shi Te you are talking about? Wait, he's not going to talk about Sima Xin, right? Day, pit than teammates! But he could say that he didn't know, so Zheng Sheng shook his head and didn't speak.

"You don't know? Your big brother Shi is called Shi Te. Zheng Sheng showed a sudden look.

Li Xun asked again, "Shi Te passed by your Zhuangzi, and he only had a one-sided relationship with you, and he didn't even know his name, why did you say that Shi Te was your friend?" ”

Zheng Sheng laughed, how to solve this problem?

He laughed and watched Li Xun's face become more and more serious.

Zheng Sheng pursed his lips, "Tian Bao and I are friends, and I told him that Brother Shi is my friend." It's just to show off in front of him, after all, Brother Shi is a very rich and powerful person! "It's very face-saving, isn't it!

Li Xun stared at the beads of disbelief in his eyes, he calmed down his agitated mood, "Okay, the kid is very smart." Don't tell me you fell with this injury, do you? ”

Zheng Sheng relaxed, and the difficulty passed, "No, this wound is a knife wound." Uncle Li, you can't have never touched a sword! ”

Zheng Sheng was still quite interested in irony, but looked at Li Xun's face and became gloomy, "Cough, I'm so miserable today, today I first encountered a small wild boar in the mountains, which scared me to roll down from the mountainside, and then I wanted to go home, but I got lost, and then I was chased by the officials and soldiers, and there are some fierce guys, who are not very old, and they cut people when they meet!" Luckily, I was fast! Then I met Tian Bao. ”

Zheng Sheng looked at Li Xun's face and thought that his words belittled the Tiger Guard Camp, and Li Xun, who was standing on the opposite side, was naturally willing to listen.

Li Xun stood up and left. Zheng Sheng shouted on the kang: "Uncle Li, next time you come in, please knock on the door first, otherwise it will be very rude!" ”

Li Xun's footsteps flickered, and he accelerated out of the door. Immediately afterwards another man came in and shouted, "Get up! ”

Zheng Sheng continued to ponder, and he felt that there was no problem with his correspondence just now. What is this for? He was clever enough to deliberately interrupt or vaguely answer some key questions.

Zheng Sheng got up, and this man took him to see Sima Xin.

"We don't have a cottage house, so it's troublesome for the two of us to live together!" With that, he turned and walked away.

Zheng Sheng and Sima Xin were stunned again, what does this mean?

Zheng Sheng walked to the door lightly and looked out, Li Xun had a big heart, and he didn't send anyone to guard them. He closed the door, walked back, sat down next to Sima Xin, and sighed, "Brother Shi, we are really in the mouth of a tiger now!" ”

Sima Xin was silent.

Zheng Sheng continued, you must "confess" to the right person!

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, their mood was more relaxed, and there was no major contradiction in their answers.

After the middle of the night, no one bothered them, so the two had to sleep foot to foot.

But in a dangerous situation, Zheng Sheng couldn't sleep at all. After a while, he got up, walked lightly to the corner of the wall, and listened carefully.

After a while, Zheng Sheng turned around and went back, and in a fright, a dark figure was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Zheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Shi, don't scare me, okay." ”

"What are you doing here?" Sima Xin asked.

"I wonder if they have anyone to eavesdropper!" Zheng Sheng said, "Don't send someone to guard the door, want to eliminate our vigilance, and then send someone to eavesdrop on our conversation, who can't recognize this little trick!" ”

"Is there anyone then?"

Zheng Sheng shook his head.

Sima Xin smiled dumbly and lay down.

Zheng Sheng couldn't sleep, and thought Sima Xin was the same, "Brother Shi, let's talk!" Anyway, the night is long...... "day, how wrong is this." Zheng Sheng swallowed the remaining half of the sentence into his stomach.

"Okay." Sima Xin replied.

"Brother Shi, if it weren't for you, why would the master end up like this! Why do you think you're so impulsive? You shouldn't be. Zheng Sheng thought to himself, he can also be regarded as Sima Xin's friend in distress, it shouldn't matter if he admonishes him one or two, right?

Sima Xin was silent.

Zheng Sheng thought that Sima Xin was angry, and a few words floated from the other end, "You're right." ”

Zheng Shengle is happy, it seems that Sima Xin has a very good temper, and it is rare for a big person to listen to persuasion, "Brother Shi, you are a gentleman who talks about rules, plus you have an extraordinary background, it is really enviable!" ”

Sima Xin couldn't say this.

"However, it's not good to pay too much attention to the rules. For example, this time, if you hadn't been too disciplined, Tian Bao wouldn't have treated this as an anecdote and listened to Li Xun, and we would have left a long time ago. ”

Sima Xin got up abruptly and said in a deep voice, "This can't work. A gentleman must always practice the right way, otherwise it is against morality! ”

Zheng Sheng couldn't help complaining, are you really determined to be a gentleman?

Reincarnated as a prince and nobleman, not to enjoy life, want to be a gentleman?

Be...... Is there a brain disease?
