Zhou Xuan saw that the beater was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a white face and a slight beard, and a handsome appearance, but the crocodile leather whip in his hand that was still stained with blood was extremely incommensurate with his elegant appearance.

The middle-aged man was followed by two retinues, one of whom asked, "Second brother, do you want to cut off this person's tongue?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "And let me smoke a good one and then it's not too late-" The crocodile whip in his hand made another "whoosh" sound, and it was firmly whipped on the left shoulder of the middle-aged craftsman, and suddenly his clothes were torn, blood oozed out, and the person fell to the ground.

Passers-by scattered and hidden, and they scattered as if they were fleeing, but no one was upset about this craftsman!

Zhou Xuan was furious, who is this mother, the official tolerance is not so ruthless, right? Lu saw the injustice and roared: "Fight!" ”

The four idiots moved the fastest, and instantly approached the front, and hit the elbow of the middle-aged man wielding the crocodile whip, the crocodile whip suddenly turned back, and the whip was slapped on the middle-aged man's own face, and the white and handsome cheeks were obliquely bloodstained from left to right.

The middle-aged man was stunned, and he didn't feel pain at first, but after a while, he howled: "Hit me? I was beaten! Kill them, kill them! ”

The two entourages screamed and pulled out their waist knives, seeing that the posture was definitely going to kill Zhou Xuan and a few people.

The four idiots had returned to Zhou Xuan's side and asked, "Master, how to deal with it?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "If you are new to the city, be kind to others, and fight half to death." ”

At this time, Lin Ji and Li Hu had already started with the two followers, and the martial arts of these two followers were not low, but they were quite inferior to Lin Ji, and one of them was quickly knocked to the ground, and all his legs were discounted. Rolling on the ground in pain.

The other man wrestled with Lihu, and the four idiots dodged over and poked the man in the waist, and the man was punched hard in the face by Lihu before he collapsed. The nasal bone was broken, a face became a persimmon, and he passed out.

The middle-aged man covered his face and jumped on his feet, shouting, "Kill them!" Kill them! Cramps and skins, bruises and bones—wow—"

Lulu, the golden retriever, rushed forward and bit him on the thigh, ripping off a piece of meat.

Zhou Xuan picked up the crocodile whip on the ground, slapped it again in the face of the middle-aged man who hugged his leg and screamed in pain, and then threw the whip. Say, "Let's run, get out of town at night!" Seeing that the beaten craftsman was still stunned, he shouted, "You also run!" ”

Seeing that the craftsman ran eastward, Zhou Xuan and the four of them rushed back to the pavilion with the golden retriever Lulu and dressed themselves in front of the door. It's like returning from a walk.

A soldier from Fenghua Prefecture came to report that Wu Yueguo's envoy begged to see the county prince and had been waiting for a long time.

Zhou Xuan went to see the Wu Yue Guo Fighting Insect Envoy, and after greetings, he learned that this person's surname was Bao. It was Qian Wei who played a disciple and brought insects thousands of miles to the Southern Han Xing Mansion to participate in the Five Kingdoms Insect War. Because when passing through Zhangzhou, he was courteous to Chen Jidi, and he was quite grateful, and when he learned that the Tang country's insect envoy arrived, he came to visit, but he never expected that the Tang country's insect envoy turned out to be a county prince!

Zhou Xuan smiled and chatted with him, not mentioning that the Tang army had taken Quanzhou and might have captured Fuzhou now.

The four idiots couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the Bao insect envoy, what kind of crickets did your country use to participate in the war this time?" ”

The abalone envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "This was originally not revealed first. But Zhou Jungong is a nobleman. The amount of elegance is very, and it doesn't hurt to reveal it to the county magistrate below. "Tell your attendants to go back to the post house and fetch worms.

When it doesn't move. Two exquisite insect jars were obtained, and the abalone insect envoy personally held them for Zhou Xuan to watch.

Zhou Xuan and the four idiots looked at the two crickets carefully, both of them were green-backed, square big teeth, extremely majestic, Zhou Xuan praised: "Good insects, good insects, I have heard for a long time that Wu Yue produces fierce insects, it is really worthy of the name, and the shot is two green-backed fierce insects, generous!" ”

Bao insect envoy smiled: "Zhou Jun Gong award, my Wu Yueguo this year's crickets are much worse than in previous years, the year before last in Hangzhou there were people in Hangzhou to catch the insect king dedicated to His Majesty the king, the five countries of the insect war was held in Hangzhou, the insect king was invincible, won the championship in one fell swoop, last year was only inferior to the insect king of the green-backed fierce worm, won the second place on the bank of the Qinhuai River in your country, the championship was taken away by the insect king of the Song country, this year these two insects are not as good as last year's, it is inevitable that the five countries are at the bottom. ”

This abalone worm envoy said, his eyes roamed the room, which means that my worms have been shown to you, and you must let me see them.

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, and said: "I learned that my Tang Kingdom had a green-backed insect in a hurry to participate in the competition this time, but unfortunately he died halfway, and there was no way, so I had to talk to an inferior insect to blame." ”

The abalone insect envoy hurriedly said: "Zhou Jungong is too humble, the Tang Kingdom is prosperous with fighting insects, there are many fierce insects, and the insects brought by the county prince are extraordinary products, I don't know if I can feast my eyes first?" ”

Zhou Xuan said to the four idiots: "Fourth, please see the Snow Lion King." ”

The four idiots cherished and cherished the "Snow Lion King", the abalone insect made him stunned at first sight, he is also an old insect guest, but he has never seen a white-backed insect come out to fight, and the country children don't want white-backed insects, let alone such a major insect war in the five countries? This week, the county prince doesn't seem to be crazy, is there really any magic about this white-backed insect, but in addition to the white color is more beautiful, the size and essence, qi, and spirit are very mediocre.

Zhou Xuan said: "I'm ashamed, let the abalone insect make me laugh, I really lost the worm halfway, I was very annoyed, and I caught a worm to fool around, which can be regarded as a maverick." ”

The abalone insect said kindly: "If the county prince of Zhou does not give up, there is a hook head under the county that can be given to the county prince, and it is also a green-backed insect." ”

Zhou Xuan exclaimed: "Wu Yueguo is really extravagant, even the hook head is green-backed!" Cheng Bao insect is kind, but no matter how inferior this white-backed insect is, it is also caught by my own hands, and if others know that my Tang State used a hook of Wu Yueguo to fight, wouldn't it be ridiculous to the world? ”

The abalone insect envoy hurriedly said: "It's a presumptuous, don't blame the county prince." "Hurriedly said goodbye, the insect envoys of the five countries did not live in the same pavilion.

The four idiots asked: "What level does the master think of these two insects in Wu Yueguo?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "They are all lieutenant general-level strengths, and the cyan dark veins are more ferocious, well-trained, and they also have a fight with general-level fierce insects." ”

The four idiots said with great expectation: "Wu Yue Kingdom has two lieutenant general-level fierce insects, and I don't know what other fierce insects are in the three kingdoms of Song Kingdom, Shu Song Dynasty, and Southern Han Dynasty?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The insect king and the general must be indispensable, our snow lion king is going to face a big enemy?" Fourth, did the Snow Lion King have a relationship with its insect concubine? ”

The four idiots lowered their heads and responded: "It's over, it's over early this morning." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Very good, adulthood, strong blood, three days later, you can show your big teeth." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the horses' hooves outside, and there was a chaotic appearance.

Zhou Xuan called Yicheng to ask, but it turned out to be a curfew in the whole city, and a few fugitives were being arrested.

Zhou Xuan and the four idiots glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Could it be that you are catching us?" ”

After Yi Cheng left, the four idiots frowned and said, "What is the origin of that middle-aged man?" It can't be Liu Jixing, right? What a coincidence! ”

Lin Ji said: "It won't be Liu Jixing, Liu Jixing's age is two years older than my Majesty the Tang Emperor." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's either a royal family or a high-ranking official, which is a bit troublesome." ”

The four idiots said: "I'm afraid it will affect our fighting insects, and we should have killed them with one knife at that time!" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I will shave this beautiful hair tomorrow, even if I meet it in person, I can't recognize it, it was late at that time, and I shouldn't have seen our faces clearly." ”

The four idiots suddenly laughed and turned their heads.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Fourth, what are you laughing at?" ”

The four idiots turned their heads, smiled, and said, "The master has shaved his beard, isn't that like a eunuch?" ”

Zhou Xuan glared and said, "Nonsense! I couldn't help laughing, and said: "I really don't know that those who have wives but are castrated for the sake of seeking officials can be worthy of raising their eyebrows?" ”

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhou Xuan bathed and dressed neatly, preparing for the summons of the Han Emperor Liu Jixing, but no one came to announce the decree in the afternoon, and the Snow Pig Prince sent Fei Qing to invite Zhou Xuan to the banquet tomorrow, saying that he would invite the witch Lu Qiongxian to meet Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan only knew that Lu Qiongxian was originally Liu Jixing's talent, and colluded with the god and witch Fan Huzi to make up some nonsense about the son of the Jade Emperor to fool Liu Jixing, and said that Fan Huzi and Lu Qiongxian were sent by the Jade Emperor to assist Liu Jixing, so Liu Jixing was extremely fortunate to Fan and Lu, and after Fan Huzi died, Lu Qiongxian and Gong Chengshu, Chen Yanshou, Li Tuo and others formed a party to grasp the government and power.

Fei Qing pleaded with Zhou Xuan in a low voice: "Zhou Jungong, tomorrow when Lu Xiangu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summon the county prince, the county prince will have a few kind words for Fei. With a wave of his hand, the attendant brought in two boxes.

Zhou Xuan liked to accept bribes the most, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Fei Zhonglang and I are friends in trouble, and it's easy to say anything." ”

Fei Qing was overjoyed and retreated.

Cumin also likes to be given gifts, this little housekeeper waited for Fei Qing and his entourage to leave, and immediately came over to open the box to see what kind of gift it was?

But I saw that it was a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred pearls.

Zhou Xuan said generously: "The ten Jin Wuwei and ten Fenghua soldiers who accompanied him this time will each be rewarded with five taels of gold and fifty taels of silver, so let's divide them all." ”

Everyone rejoiced, and the cottage generally divided the gold and silver, and the small box of beads was collected by cumin.

Although Lin Ji was not rewarded, he was even happier in his heart, he knew that Zhou Jungong would never treat him badly, and returning to Jinling would definitely have great benefits.

Fei Qing hadn't gone far yet, and Yi Cheng reported again: "Chen Huangmen asks to see him." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone-please." ”

Sure enough, Chen Yanshou also came with a heavy gift, and begged Zhou Xuan to speak for him tomorrow.

Zhou Xuan said: "Chen Huangmen and I are friends in trouble, and it is easy to say anything, tacitly, haha." ”

In this sentence, Zhou Xuan sat down to receive 500 taels of gold, 200 finest pearls, a pair of four-foot coral trees, and a jade jade flute......
