Outside the city of Jingzhou, Guandi Temple. I thought that with the name of Emperor Guan, there would be some incense, but I didn't expect that the popularity here was not as good as the Iron Girl Temple in the city. Although the cleaning is fairly clean, it still feels a little depressed.

Luo Yunshi turned out of the Guandi Temple from the back door, it is an apricot forest, but unfortunately the season is not right, there are no flowers and no fruits. Not far away, under the big tree, sat a woodcutter, with a full beard, and his face could not be seen. The axe stood beside him, and there was a pot of wine and two glasses on the stone in front of him, and there was a roast chicken in the lotus leaf, and the woodcutter was nibbling on a chicken leg.

"Chopping wood? What about firewood? Luo Yunshi picked up the flask and sniffed it, and asked casually.

"If you sell it, if you don't sell it out, how can you get the money to drink wine and eat chicken?" The woodcutter took a sip of wine, and saw Luo Yunshi holding the wine jug with a disgusted look. "Hey, forget if you don't drink it."

Luo Yunshi put down the flask and sat down across from him, and it was really a good idea.

"The old man doesn't agree?" The woodcutter asked.

"I thought that Old Man Zhao was also a lover, but he was saddened by the chaos in Jingzhou now. It's a pity that he saw hundreds of forces, large and small, fighting and killing every day, and he was not moved at all. Does he really not understand that in the long run, it is impossible for his Zhao family's Qi Fengzhuang to protect his life. ”

"Yes, very passionate." The woodcutter pretended to applaud. "It's just a bit exaggerated. Haha, it seems that your big plan, Old Man Zhao still didn't agree. Is there a fallback plan? ”

Luo Yunshi was deflated, put away the righteous words just now, and shrugged, "If you want to say it, the old man is really pitiful." Sitting in a daze every day, occasionally asking about the living of the little granddaughter, such a big house, even the next 20 people, quiet as a grave. ”

"Also, there were originally seven sons, a large family lived together, this house is estimated to be unliveable, and in the blink of an eye, he died, so he left a little granddaughter, fortunately, what happened back then did not happen in this house, otherwise, it would really become a ghost house." The woodcutter looked so scared.

"Yes, it's just a little granddaughter, just ...... the time." Luo Yunshi said, and he looked sad.

The woodcutter asked uncertainly, "Are you going to attack his granddaughter?" It's not that it can't be, it's just that she seems to be more than ten years younger than you. ”

Luo Yunshi rolled his eyes, "My Lord Zheng, in your eyes, am I so obscene?" ”

Zheng Shu threw away the leftover chicken bones in his hand, and Gu Zi tore off another chicken leg and gnawed it. "It's not that I haven't seen you play the flute, make Xiao, and pretend to be affectionate, evil ......, goosebumps fall all over the place, but women still eat this."

Luo Yunshi directly grabbed the half chicken on the table and threw it over.

Zheng Shu dodged sideways, "Hey, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth." As he spoke, he picked up the chicken that fell on the ground, blew and wiped it with some heartache, probably thinking that it was still edible, and put it on the table again. You have lived in that haunted house for half a month, what else can you do except get rich? Besides, aren't you afraid that she is young and doesn't understand your handsomeness and demeanor? Do you want to play Hero Save Beauty again? Last time, the Nomin lord of the Tartars ....... ”

"That's pretty much it." Luo Yunshi looked at Zheng Shu's greasy beard, was speechless for a while, took the wine jug, and actually poured himself a glass of wine. Changed the topic and asked, "How is the matter in Quanzhou?" ”

"Sure enough, I said it, hehe." Zheng Shu muttered softly, took a bite of the chicken leg, and replied: "Quanzhou, arrangements have been made according to your requirements, I plan to go over tomorrow, and I will inform you when I can." But ......, do you think about it, do you want to play so big? Moreover, I think that with the wealth of the Nangong clan, you want them to transfer silver and borrow money within the scope of the entire Central Plains, is this impossible? ”

"Why can't it be? Even if you can't do it, isn't it still a backup? Besides, Mr. Qian didn't object. ”

"Yunshi, you know, when the time comes, no matter how carefully planned, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. After all, beyond the range of our brocade guard, it is difficult to control. Moreover, Lord Qian confessed, the brothers will not help you. Zheng Shu said solemnly.

"What are you worried about? Are you afraid I won't be able to run away? What I'm embarrassed about now is that I don't know what motive I want to make up for myself by targeting the Nangong clan like this. Luo Yunshi took the wine glass in his hand, but he never drank it.

"This is in the Central Plains, not in Tumochuan and running back to the Central Plains. Where are you going? Zheng Shu was really worried.

Luo Yunshi laughed, "I can't play dead, I don't have to run at all." ”。

"The white and the black have all been told to you." Zheng Shu rolled his eyes.

"The Shanxi Gang is the target. These businessmen are profiteering......"

"Excuse me, you're talking about your own home."

Luo Yunshi stared at him and asked for a while: "I don't understand, how do you know this?" ”

Zheng Shu's expression was a little proud, "Is it difficult?" Do you think if you don't tell me, I won't know? Hmph, don't look at what I do. ”

Luo Yunshi ignored him, and continued his previous words, "Create some contradictions and make them unprofitable, and the so-called Shanxi Gang will naturally disperse." Of course, they will cooperate again in the future, but without their current financial resources, the impact will not be as great as it is now. Therefore, let the Nangong clan lose money first, and the family will ....... ”

"I gave you so much information, but you still found the Nangong clan. If you want me to say, why do you have to get along with your own family? If you lose money, Yang, Wang, Guo, and Fan can do it. Zheng Shu interrupted him, always feeling that he was doing something very wrong.

"Hey, you're the one who wants me to admit it back."

"Is this the same thing? Yunshi, you ran in front of him and called him daddy, isn't it? "Since Zheng Shu learned about his life experience many years ago, he has mentioned it many times openly and secretly, and every time he ignores it.

Luo Yunshi looked at him idiotically, "Big brother, do people believe it?!" Don't tell me to confess your relatives. ”

"Okay, okay, Lord Qian didn't say anything anyway. I just think ......, alas, even doing two things that ask for money, you also lose your family's money. With a son like you, your father is really going to vomit blood. Alas, it's good for you to think about it yourself, don't admit it back when the time comes, it's not easy to explain. ”

Luo Yunshi suddenly felt a little weak, and whispered: "Maybe, they won't accept the offer at all." After taking a sip of wine, he frowned, spit out, put down the cup, and looked at Zheng Shu, "There's nothing bad to explain, let's take a look, I'll just go, it doesn't matter." It's just to get an identity and find a chance to mess with the Yang family. He added, "The mission is complete, and I still have to go back to Tumochuan." ”

Zheng Shu stared at him, thought for a while, and said earnestly: "Yunshi, flesh and blood, you think about it simply...... Suddenly, he stopped, and his eyes glanced behind Luo Yunshi.

Luo Yunshi naturally got up and walked away, walked around behind an apricot tree, and turned back inadvertently. Not far away, a girl in purple walked alone in front of an apricot tree, sat down slowly, and buried her head as if crying.

The two glanced at each other, Zheng Shu made a lip sync, Luo Yunshi nodded, and walked towards the girl in purple, over there, Zheng Shu packed up his things and left in the opposite direction.

**********

"Rongrong?" Luo Yunshi walked to the girl's side and squatted down.

The girl was obviously stunned, stopped crying, wiped her tears with her sleeve indiscriminately, but didn't dare to raise her head: "Brother Luo." ”

"Why are you the only one? What about the little oranges? Luo Yunshi looked at her with concern.

"I didn't let her come with me." Zhao Rongrong was still a little sobbing.

"Does Grandpa know you're out?"

Zhao Rongrong just lowered her head and didn't answer. Luo Yunshi sat down beside her and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

After a long time, Zhao Rongrong said in a low voice: "When I was a child, my father often brought me here. He said that to be a man is to be like Emperor Guan, and righteousness comes first. Every time I cried, he would tell me the story of Emperor Guan. But, actually, I don't like to hear ...... at all. Brother Luo, am I very unbehaved? ”

"Your dad must want you to be as brave as a boy." Luo Yunshi suddenly felt that he had no talent for comforting people, especially the little girl who was only fourteen or five years old.

"Later, my father was gone, and no one told me the story of Emperor Guan that I didn't like to hear. Every year on my father's death day, I will come here to pay my respects. Today is the day of his death. The more Zhao Rongrong spoke, the softer she became, and after speaking, she buried her head in her arm again.

Luo Yunshi looked at the little girl beside him and whispered, "If you still want to cry again, I will be at the stone behind you." ”

The little girl nodded. Luo Yunshi got up and walked away, and not long after, a flute of "Yangzhou Slow" sounded behind him.

When she accompanied Zhao Rongrong to leave the Guandi Temple, although the little girl still had tears, her mood was not so sad, "Brother Luo, don't tell grandpa about today." I know that today, grandpa is not having a good time. ”

Luo Yunshi nodded, hesitated, and asked, "Your father...... What's going on? Then he added, "If you don't want to answer, it's okay, I'll just ask." ”

Zhao Rongrong thought for a while, "Actually, I don't know. I only know that five years ago today, my father, mother, and a few uncles never came back after they went out. After that, it was just me and my grandfather left in the house. Grandpa said he would tell me the truth when I was older. It's just that until now, I haven't said anything. ”

After being silent for a long time, Luo Yunshi instructed: "Okay, no matter what happens in the future, you can't go out alone, and now Jingzhou is not complete." ”

**********

Walking on the streets of Jingzhou City, Zhao Rongrong recovered the little girl's heart, looked east and west, and chattered about the interesting things in the female red class a few days ago.

Facing him, Zheng Shu got rid of his hated beard and walked in a different outfit. When he passed by Luo Yunshi, he said four words softly: "Heroes save beauty." ”

Luo Yunshi secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, and interrupted Zhao Rongrong with a smile, "Rongrong, you wait for me here, I'll go to Shengji on the other side to buy a few mutton buns." ”

Zhao Rongrong didn't mind, and said happily: "Okay, Shengji's mutton buns are delicious." Brother Luo bought more and compensated for his grandfather. ”

Luo Yunshi smiled and ran away. Shengji's mutton buns are famous in Jingzhou, and they may not be available for half an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Yunshi glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw four or five thugs pestering Zhao Rongrong. Suddenly, I heard Zhao Rongrong screaming: "Go away, go away!" Let's go! At this time, I don't know which bastard dared to tear Zhao Rongrong's clothes. The little girl struggled desperately and cried: "Brother Luo! Brother Luo, help! ”

"Stop!" Before Luo Yunshi's words fell, the outermost thug had been knocked to the ground. The other thugs seemed startled and shouted, "You, don't mess around!" I warn you, we're Keiye's people. "Retreat as you speak. Luo Yunshi raised his fist violently, and the gangsters didn't even care about their companions on the ground, and ran away.

"Woo woo woo...... big brother Luo." Zhao Rongrong threw herself into Luo Yunshi's arms and cried. Luo Yunshi carefully tidied up her clothes and asked softly, "Are you okay?" Are you hurt? ”

Zhao Rongrong shook her head slightly.

Luo Yunshi gently patted Zhao Rongrong's back and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, let's go home." ”
