On the first day of the ninth month, Zhou Xuan took Laifu and the three idiots out of the south gate of Jiangzhou City, and went to Hongzhou, when he learned the tea ceremony last night, he had already told Jingyi Fairy for leave, Lin Hanyun was not there at that time, Jingyi Fairy said nothing, although the time spent together was not short, but Jingyi Fairy treated Zhou Xuan like a cup of tea, tepid, light and fragrant.

Zhou Xuan chose Hongzhou as the place to travel because Hongzhou is a big state in the Tang Dynasty, more prosperous than Jiangzhou, and close to Jiangzhou, and there is a reason that he can't tell others is that he has studied there for two years, and those poems and ancient texts, idle books and miscellaneous studies are all learned in Hongzhou, and Hongzhou is Nanchang.

Zhou Xuan borrowed three horses from Lao Dong, and rode on the road with the three idiots and Laifu, Dr. Qin, Qin Que, Sewing Needle, as well as Abu and Liao Yin have been sent out of the south gate for several miles, Zhou Xuan and the two little wives sat in the carriage to say goodbye, and they were indispensable to hug and hug and tell each other-

Parting is an art of life, not to mention sending Jun Nanpu, Yi Shui Zhuang farewell, negative Yu to join the army, go to a desperate country, it is a small farewell between husband and wife, and it can also enhance the relationship, Zhou Xuan's temporary departure touched Qin Que and the two daughters of the needle very much, and I often don't feel it in front of me, but now when I say that I want to go out for a few days, I feel that I can't leave my husband for a moment, and it is difficult to give up.

Zhou Xuan hugged left and right, and said with a smile: "I'm just going to relax, and I'll be back in half a month at most, but I can't rest assured about one thing, I don't know if the finches and needles can share the worries of their husbands?" ”

The second daughter doesn't know what worries Zhou Xuan? Hurriedly asked: "Husband, please say, the two of us must do our best according to our husband's instructions." ”

"Really?"

"Really!" The second daughter solemnly promised.

"That's good." Zhou Xuan said seriously: "Our Australian wife must wear Xiao Nei, you two have been refusing to wear it, which makes the husband sigh all night, I hope that when I come back this time, the two of you have obediently put on Xiao Nei, it will be a big surprise for the husband." ”

"Ahh The second daughter didn't expect her husband to say this, both of them were so ashamed that their faces were red, and they "sneered" It is not good to agree, and it is not good not to agree, so it is difficult to live.

Zhou Xuan smiled, kissed each of the two daughters on the jade cheek, and said, "Think about it, I will miss you every day outside." ”

Zhou Xuan got out of the car and got on the horse, and saluted Dr. Qin and said, "Father-in-law, please go back, and the son-in-law will go." After a few more words of advice to Abu and Liao Yin, the three of them hit the road on horseback.

Out of the suburbs, the houses are gradually fewer, the farmland is increasing, the official road is full of cars and horses, which shows the prosperity of the Tang Kingdom, Jiangzhou is the land of fish and rice, the emperor Li Yu lightly dismissed the thin endowment, rested and raised the people for 40 years, the people of Jiangzhou are generally rich, and there is almost no lack of food and clothing.

Laifu said: "Uncle, don't look at the peaceful appearance of this faction, there are also strongmen and thieves, my brother Wangcai was robbed in De'an last year." ”

Zhou Xuan glanced at the three idiots and said with a smile: "This is normal, no matter how rich you are, there are people who want to be robbers, that is a profession and an interest." ”

Laifu carried three hundred taels of silver on the road this time, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Uncle, what if I encounter a robber?" ”

"There are sword slaves!" Zhou Xuanchao pointed at the three idiots: "The sword slave is very capable of fighting, and he must be holding back his strength after being idle for so many days, but he only protects me alone, and he won't care if you live or die, if you encounter a robber, you drop the silver and run first." ”

Laifu turned his head sideways and looked at the three idiots, he didn't know that this indifferent guy was the famous assassin three idiots, he only knew that this guy never paid attention to anyone except for being respectful to his uncle, wasn't he also a family member, what's the big deal, coldly ignoring people, who owes you money?

Zhou Xuan was very proud of the three idiots wearing their clothes, how could they still be like walking in the rivers and lakes like they used to walk in the rivers and lakes, how could they still look chic and chic! Dress me in the uniform of the Zhou family, haha!

Looking at the appearance of the three idiots wearing a hat and wearing two clothes, Zhou Xuan wanted to laugh, a little like a prank, but the three idiots are three idiots after all, although they are dressed up, but the killer temperament that has been cultivated for many years is still occasionally sharp in his casual eyes, and he stands out in the cone pocket, and the three idiots are the best among a group of family members.

Before he had traveled ten miles, he heard the sound of hooves behind him, and he chased closer and closer.

Laifu was nervous: "Uncle, is this coming for us?" Could it be that they were eyeing us in the city, knowing that we have silver, so they came to rob us? ”

Zhou Xuan rode on the horse and twisted his head to look, he was short-sighted, he couldn't see the distance clearly, only saw what seemed to be a big black horse coming violently, and said: "No, this person dares to rob on the official road where people come and go!" Blessing you are making a fuss, this person is in a hurry. ”

Unexpectedly, the three idiots reined in the horse, staring at the big black horse that was getting closer and closer, as if he was waiting for the battle, is it really a robber?

Running thirty meters away, Zhou Xuan saw clearly what kind of big black horse it was, it was a white-nosed black mule, and on the back of the mule were four idiots dressed as scribes.

"Zhou Xuan, where do you want to take my senior brother?"

The four idiots caught up and questioned Zhou Xuan with their eyes open.

Zhou Xuan shook his head, he couldn't clean up for a few days, this four idiots were haunted by him!

"He is my sword slave, at my disposal, I want to take him to Hongzhou to see if he can be sold for a good price."

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring!"

Zhou Xuan ignored him and beckoned Laifu to hurry.

The four idiots rode mules to follow, and when they saw the three idiots dressed as a familyman, they were angry, and said angrily: "Zhou Xuan, why do you despise my senior brother so much, and you actually dress like this, you really treat him as a person!" ”

Laifu didn't like to listen to this, and said in a rough voice: "Don't underestimate the family, especially the Zhoufu family, I said outside that I am the Zhoufu family, and everyone is very envious of me, and a little jealous, not that the Zhoufu family has a high commission, but our uncle will never despise us, so we often feel proud to be a family." ”

These days, Laifu has been by Zhou Xuan's side, and he has been familiar with it, and he has a head in his mouth when he speaks.

The third idiot said lightly: "Fourth brother, the foolish brother is now the sword slave of Zhou Gongzi, in fact, it is not as good as the family, the master treats me well, and the fourth brother doesn't have to fight about these." ”

Seeing that the senior brother said this, the four idiots didn't have a good seizure, staring at Zhou Xuan hatefully, and followed closely across the black mule.

Zhou Xuan asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The four idiots turned their heads to look at the woods on the side: "You don't care where I go, I can go as I like." ”

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "Why does this taste so strange, it seems to be Lin Hanyun's tone!" He said, "Soon you will be able to take care of it, and when you become my tea slave, I will let you put on a house dress and train you well." ”

The four idiots were furious, if it weren't for the three idiots who were harshly stopping him with their eyes, it seemed that he wanted to commit murder.

A good trip, because the four idiots are mixed in, there is no comfortable feeling, fighting along the way, the four idiots fighting are Zhou Xuan's opponents, and they hate it so much.

The four idiots heard the sound of insects coming from the wooden box tied to the front of Zhou Xuan's saddle, he was also an insect idiot, and when he heard the insects, he had a seizure, and asked, "What kind of worm are you?" ”

Zhou Xuan asked him rhetorically: "Where is your 'Tiger Idiot Xu Chu'?" ”

The four idiots said, "It was borrowed from someone and has been returned." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "I'm afraid it's stealing." ”

The four idiots didn't refute and said, "Let me see your worm." ”

Although the four idiots were very annoyed with Zhou Xuan, they still admired Zhou Xuan's insect art, last time in Lushan he took a small pill in Zhou Xuan's silk fish bag, pondered and pondered, did not figure out the mystery, and asked the pharmacist who was proficient in medicine, the pharmacist licked it with his tongue and said the name of a few medicines, but he could not reverse the prescription, because the relationship between the monarch and the minister and the auxiliary between the various medicines is very important, and if the dosage is wrong, the medicinal properties will change greatly, and the cricket is such a big thing, and the slightest mistake will kill him.

So when the four idiots saw Zhou Xuan solemnly taking a bug on the road, then this bug must be extraordinary, and they really want to see what kind of worm it is?

Zhou Xuan said: "It's still early for us to fight tea, why don't we make a small bet first, just bet on my worm, guess what color worm it is?" Guess right, I asked you to follow us all the way, I didn't guess right, I also asked you to follow us, but you have to shut up, and if you say one more sentence, you will lose me one tael of silver, two sentences will be two taels, and so on. ”

For Zhou Xuan, there is no time to gamble, nothing to bet on.

The four idiots squinted their eyes and asked, "If you lose, you won't lose anything?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Didn't you say that if you win, I will let you follow, then I will have to endure your noise, and my mood will be very unhappy, isn't this a huge loss?" ”

The four idiots said angrily: "It's too unfair for you to be like this, how can you bet like this, I won, and you are not allowed to speak." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The bet is set by me, the gambling is voluntary, and no one forces you to bet." "Riding a horse" has to "got" forward.

The four idiots are so angry that they can't help it, they don't get anything if they win the bet, and they have to shut up and can't speak when they lose, which is really unreasonable! He expected that Zhou Xuan's wooden box was the strange insect that won the "famous general Zhang He" "can't be touched", he didn't participate in gambling that day, and he hadn't seen what "can't touch" looked like, but he could hear the discussion of the insect war everywhere in the restaurant tea shop, and knew that "couldn't touch" was a black-backed insect.

The black-backed worm can win the green-backed worm, the four idiots can't believe their ears, as an insect idiot, they have to see what is going on, gritted their teeth, urged the mule to catch up and said, "I bet." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled, he knew that the four idiots would definitely gamble, and asked, "Then you said that the worms in my box are red or yellow?" ”

The four idiots stared at Zhou Xuan's eyes, and when they saw him looking like they were sure of victory, they thought, "Isn't that black back 'untouchable'?" Impossible, Zhou Xuan is the most cunning, betting with me with the easiest to guess things, wanting me to go astray and make simple things complicated, hum, the box is the black back 'untouchable'! ”

Zhou Xuan also said: "Black back? Are you sure? ”

The four idiots said loudly: "Don't make a fool of it, open the box and let me see it." ”

Zhou Xuan jumped off the horse, untied the wooden box, put it on a stone on the side of the road, and took out a black clay pot from the box with a smile.

The four idiots hurriedly probed to see, and the black clay pot was empty.

Zhou Xuan unhurriedly took out a five-inch-long bamboo tube from the box, poured it into the black clay pot, and a dark red cricket swam quickly in the clay pot.

The four idiots were dumbfounded.

Zhou Xuan said: "You lost." "Put away the crickets, put them back in the wooden box, and tie them back to the saddle.

The four were stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "This is a three-tailed female cricket, is it for 'untouchable' tailing?" ”

Zhou Xuanying said: "Yes, one or two silver." ”

As soon as the four idiots heard this, they began to count ten taels of silver for him! He asked loudly: "So 'can't touch' is also in the wooden box?" ”

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, two taels of silver, pay for it quickly." ”

"What do I pay!" The four idiots said angrily: "You are cheating, shameless!" ”

Zhou Xuan taught him a lesson: "Since you want to gamble, you have to be thoughtful, you should ask me how many worms are in this box?" In fact, you don't need to ask at all, you should have thought of such a fierce insect as 'can't be touched', you are full of energy, how can you be separated from the female insect, so your failure is not accidental, it is all your own fault, blame yourself for not being careful, impetuous, it is estimated that the level of Go should be far from your third senior brother. ”

At this time, the third idiot said: "Fourth brother, you should go back to Yantang Mountain." ”

The fourth idiot was so angry that his head was dizzy, and he asked, "Third brother, do you think that I will lose to him in the tea fight?" ”

The three idiots don't answer.

Laifu said on the side: "You have already said four sentences, four taels of silver." ”

The four idiots jumped like thunder, took out a yellow gold ingot from the leather bag on the mule's back, and threw it at Zhou Xuan: "This is twenty taels of gold, enough for me to talk about it all day long, I can say whatever I like." ”

Zhou Xuan quickly took the small gold ingot, asked Laifu to put it away, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, although it is said, twenty taels of gold can say two thousand words, don't say less, otherwise you will lose a lot." ”

The four idiots opened their mouths and were so angry that they couldn't speak.

Zhou Xuan was so unhappy, he won twenty taels of gold as soon as he got out of Jiangzhou, which was really a good luck, and it seemed that this trip was really lucky.

On the road for three days, we crossed Mahuiling, passed De'an and Yongxiu, and came to Hongzhou, which was known as the largest city in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty.
