Chapter 24 The old man recalls the past, and Nan Tianwu toasts

Wang Mu came out of the backyard and shook his head at the official boss.

The official boss put his left hand on the dragon sparrow knife hanging from his waist, facing everyone, and said in a sonorous tone: "According to someone reports, there have been spies from the Western Barbarian enemy countries in the national capital recently, and they appeared in this Gucheng, if anyone is found to report it, a heavy reward of ten gold!" ”

I don't know if there is any suspicion, the official boss deliberately bit the word Xiban in front of everyone.

This group of people from Xiban did not show any flaws, they have been lurking for many years, and their images have long been consistent with the people of the national capital, and they can't see any difference.

The performance of the audience was also very natural, and when they heard the heavy reward of ten gold, some people gasped, and some people showed covetousness.

The official boss turned around and walked out of the Hehuan Inn, and the rest of the officers and soldiers also retreated.

"General, where are we going to search next?" Wang Mu stood beside this domineering and powerful young man, who was not angry and powerful, and spoke only in a promising manner.

The young man who was called a general waved off the heavy snow on the saddle with one hand, turned over on the horse neatly, turned the horse's head, and said lightly: "Go to the City Lord's Mansion!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Mu clasped his fists and saluted, but he didn't dare to ask a word, so he had to obey.

The young man in front of him is a figure who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and many people may not know what his merits are, but Wang Yan understands very well that he must lower his head.

The heavy snow knight hissed, and the group left.

As the young man left, he glanced meaningfully at the group of people in the inn, but said nothing, turned around and waved his hand, and rode away.

After the iron horse left, the eldest brother breathed a sigh of relief, there was no danger, and this time he avoided it.

The shopkeeper Xiao Wang didn't know what the situation was, but he was not stupid, everyone could figure out this kind of thing hiding from officers and soldiers, but he wouldn't talk too much, more things were better than less things, not to mention that his brother Han Limo was still a shield involved, so he couldn't do such a stupid thing.

Han Limo came out first, Ah Xuan followed, and when Xiao Wang saw Han Limo, he gave him a look watching the play, as if to say, good boy, Yan Fu is not shallow! Han Limo smiled embarrassedly, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, he should be busy today, and the shopkeeper was not there, and the matter of cleaning up the ledger fell on his head, because the other two were illiterate.

The light in the backyard wing room was relatively dim, and at that time she naturally couldn't see any difference on Ah Xuan's face, at this moment she was blushing, bowed her head and walked to the table and sat down, the eldest brother looked at her like this, his face was flushed and he thought she was sick, stretched out the back of his hand to touch her forehead, and asked: "Ah Xuan, is it uncomfortable?" ”

Ah Xuan shook his head and replied, "Big brother, Ah Xuan is fine, just now in order to hide from them, he was stuffed in the quilt!" After speaking, he pretended to inadvertently glance at Han Limo, who was still settling accounts on the counter, and thought about it.

Even if they were all uncles and brothers who took care of her since she was a child, she was embarrassed to tell the truth, so she could only casually make up a reason and prevaricate.

Just when the eldest brother was about to ask Uncle Liang why he hadn't come out yet, an old man came in from outside the inn at this time.

In order not to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, after discussing with Ah Xuan, he went out from the backyard over the wall, the yard is so big, you can't hide people, you can't hide in the house, it is easier to make people suspicious, not to mention that he is still an old man, living in the same room, not in a proper manner.

Uncle Liang, who was hiding outside, always paid attention to every move in the inn, and after he saw the face of the official who was the leader, his heart was shocked.

"Awu, did you say something happened over there in Kyoto?" The old man named Uncle Liang came to the middle age of the man who called him the eldest brother.

"We've been in Gucheng for so long, and there is no news from Kyoto, so it shouldn't be a big deal, what, Uncle Liang, what do you think is wrong?" Ah Wu asked rhetorically.

Uncle Liang poured a glass of wine and made a gesture to come over, and the rest of the people leaned in, and then Uncle Liang said: "Do you remember the battle in the east back then?" ”

Everyone nodded, how could they not remember that it was this battle that opened the prelude to the ten-year-long war between the national capital and the Western Barbarians.

Uncle Liang then explained: "The person who just took the lead, I had a deal with him in the war in the eastern part of the barbarians, when the emperor was still alive, he sent troops to attack my western barbarians, and there was one of the generals, called Feng Tian, a young man, I was defeated by his sword back then!" ”

Speaking of which, this old man who was like a towering mountain in everyone's hearts was ashamed, and it made people laugh when he said it, he was in middle age, a general of the Xiban border pass who had broken countless enemies, but he lost to a young man who had not yet won the crown.

Thinking of this, Uncle Liang smiled bitterly regretfully.

Uncle Liang continued: "At this moment, he is here, I am worried about whether there is any movement in Kyoto! ”

Everyone knows Uncle Liang's strength, but he lost to the young man just now ten years ago, and his force is so terrifying?

Uncle Liang said in a deep voice: "Fengtian's force can be regarded as the best existence in the national capital, but the key is the big knife on his waist, named the national capital dragon bird, which is rumored to be made by a folk master of the previous dynasty, this knife is as sharp as clay!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, fortunately, there was no accident just now, otherwise if they started to do it, the form would obviously be very unfavorable to them.

The masters of the national capital are like clouds, not to mention that the imperial capital guards who protect the country and the country on their faces, and the hidden masters behind them who do not easily go out of the mountains are even more unfathomable.

"Everyone should be more careful in the future, don't show any rumors!" Uncle Liang told everyone.

Everyone here listened to the old man and took his words to heart.

"Ah Xuan, don't be so reckless in the future, I almost lost my life in the last competition, not to mention, if we provoke the government, then we won't be able to control it!" Ah Wu admonished his sister beside him earnestly.

Ah Xuan is young, and he is mature and stable enough, which is what Ah Wu is most worried about, if there are three long and two short, how can he, the eldest brother, be happy.

"Your eldest brother is right, it's time to change your temperament, don't be unbearable because of a little thing, you have to be inferior to others, now we are far away from our hometown and homeland, everything should be careful!" Uncle Liang said.

"Yes, yes, I know that everyone is for my good, Ah Xuan knows that he is wrong, if I make such a mistake again in the future, my eldest brother will punish me!" Ah Xuan shook his arm, aggrieved.

"You, Brother really can't do anything about you!" Ah Wu poked her head with his finger, and there was nothing he could do about this sister who liked to be spoiled by herself.

Ah Xuan hugged the eldest brother's arm, rubbed it on his shoulder, and said, "The eldest brother is the best!" ”

Uncle Liang laughed and said, "What, do you only have you as the big brother in your eyes?" ”

Ah Xuan let go of the eldest brother's hand and said, "Uncle Liang, you are also very good, thank you for always protecting me!" ”

"Everyone is so good to me, they always treat me like their own sister, I thank everyone!"

Ah Xuan poured a glass of wine, raised his glass and toasted everyone.

Ah Wu was also very emotional, and also poured himself full of wine, raised his glass and said: "For so many years, you have been following me, and you will never abandon me, how can I have you loyal people, if I return to Xiban in the future, I Nantianwu will definitely not live up to everyone's life and death followers!" ”

This short and fat uncle named Nan Tianwu stood up, put one hand on his chest, and bowed to everyone present with a sincere face, and then drank a full glass of hot wine.

"Our brother and sister have you by your side all the way, especially Uncle Liang, you have been protecting Sister Xuan, Ah Wu is very grateful! I salute you with this glass of wine! Nan Tianwu poured another full glass of hot wine, and the same sip bottomed out.

I will respect you for ten years and never give up.

I salute you for taking care of each other in this life.

The words are in the wine.

"Ah Wu, you don't have to say these kind words to us, without you, we people would not be able to have today!" Uncle Liang put his palm on the back of Ah Wu's hand and patted it lightly a few times.

"Uncle Liang is right, eldest brother doesn't have to be polite to us, how big brother treats us, we are all in our hearts, we are willing and will always follow you until we return to our own home!" A middle-aged man who was slightly younger than Nan Tianwu was deeply loyal.

Everyone agreed, and raised their glasses in return.

Nan Tianwu almost burst into tears, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many outsiders present, I am afraid that he would have been unable to cry a long time ago.

It's not an exaggeration at all, how you have come to be away from your hometown and homeland for so many years, everyone remembers it vividly, and they know each other tacitly.

Ah Xuan suddenly held Nan Tianwu's hand, pursed his lips, and looked at his eldest brother distressedly.

She knew that her eldest brother had endured too much over the years!

"It's okay, come, let's continue drinking, and when we're done drinking, we'll continue on our way!" Nan Tianwu smiled.

"Okay, have a good drink!" Everyone raised their glasses.

At this time, even Uncle Liang, who had not drunk for many years because he wanted to protect Ah Xuan, raised the wine in his cup and drank it all with everyone.

The snow outside suddenly stopped, and the snow on the ground was ankle-high.

"Big brother, the snow seems to have stopped!" One said.

Everyone looked out the door, and the wind and snow had indeed stopped.

"It's time to go, too!" Uncle Liang said.

"Okay, let's continue on our way after drinking this glass!" Nan Tianwu drank another large bowl of hot wine.

After paying for the wine, the group stepped on the snow and pulled the carriage away.

When Ah Xuan went out, his eyes stayed on Han Limo for a while, and just for a while, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, how good it would be if I were an ordinary person, I don't have to be displaced in this life.

Ah Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, this idea is still too extravagant, he is just a shopkeeper, and in the future, he will not see him again.

Han Limo, who was still cleaning up the account book, felt Ah Xuan's gaze, raised his head to meet her eyes, and smiled lightly.

When they meet in Pingshui, they are all guests from other places.
