As mentioned last time, this group of people plotted to recapture the cottage and kill Zhou Jin. After this day and night of cleaning, the shopkeeper Li and the proprietress prepared the required ingredients. Wang Xuance placed the Qingyu sword in half a sheep, and Zhou Zeng also hid the big knife under the cart; Everyone hid their weapons, took this guy with them, and went to the cottage like this. This Qingyu sword is the personal thing of the old man of Dongye, which has a history of more than 100 years, extremely sharp, sharpening iron like clay; When the sword was unsheathed, it was even more cold and shining. When Wang Xuance left the mountain, he passed it on to him, in order to let him inherit the mantle and name his ambition!

Because it was an old acquaintance of the cottage, the minions guarding the door did not inspect it in detail, and a group of seven or eight people entered the cottage like this. Although Zhou Zeng had already informed Wang Xuance in detail of the topography of Bailongzhai, the layout of the houses, and the distribution of the outpost positions, Wang Xuance was still vigilant and observed in detail whether there were any changes in the surroundings. When Zhou Zeng returned to his own territory again, a sense of intimacy inadvertently hung in his heart; I couldn't hold my breath and wanted to say hello to some of the patrolling henchmen, but I was hurriedly stopped by Shopkeeper Li.

The group happened to pass by the Justice Hall. But seeing that Zhou Jin and Zhang Harrier were talking and laughing, they walked out of it. I vaguely heard Zhou Jin say to Zhang Harrier: "Damn, if it weren't for how hard I have worked in the cottage in the past few years, let's drive Zhou Zeng's kid away, and this cottage will be the world of our brothers in the future, see who dares to blow his beard and stare at us!" ”。

"It's a pity that this kid escaped!"

"Brother, don't worry about it, most of this cottage are my subordinates, forgive him and can't make any waves! Please rest assured only brothers! ”

It was only at this moment that Wang Xuance saw the appearance of this harrier clearly: a typical Shandong man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, plus such a small scar on his face, which looks very awe-inspiring.

In an instant, Zhou Jin and Zhang Harrier walked in front of them. This week, when Jin saw that it was Shopkeeper Li who came to deliver wine and meat in person, he greeted politely: "Shopkeeper Li has worked hard, and today's celebration banquet of our brothers depends on you." Hearing Zhou Jin say this, although the shopkeeper Li was a little vigilant, he still returned with a kind gift: "How can you not handle the big things in the cottage yourself." After some pleasantries, with the tone of the conversation, Zhou Jin found that the bartender and butcher seemed to have a hint of familiarity on their faces, but he couldn't remember where they had seen them; So I approached the two of them! It turned out that the person who led the rescue of Zhou Zeng on the day of Wang Xuance was Zhou Jin!

Faced with the sudden opportunity, Wang Xuance made a look, only to see Zhou Zeng comprehend, and immediately pulled out a big knife from under the car. said that it was too late and that was fast, taking advantage of Zhou Jin's unpreparedness, he picked up the big knife; stared at the wolf-like eyes, roared, and slashed down; Cut it in half with a knife and died tragically on the spot in front of the Gathering Hall!

At the moment of strain, Wang Xuance flew up with a kick, kicked half of the sheep at Zhang Harrier quite chicly, and easily pulled out the cold and shining green sword and stabbed at it. Shopkeeper Li, the proprietress and a group of bartenders also took out their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy. In view of the fact that the two of them had such a distance, and this harrier looked at the half-fan sheep flying over, turned around and flashed, and then dodged it; Looking at Wang Xuance's sharp sword again, when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately turned around and retreated, and he was already two feet away! And at this time, a group of minions had already surrounded him, and Wang Xuance could only swing his sword to defend against the enemy! With the arrival of the sword, he has forced all the minions to a foot away, and he does not dare to attack at all!

More and more cottage minions gathered, and they all held swords to surround everyone in the center, only to hear Wang Xuance roar sharply: "Brothers of Bailongzhai, Zhou Jin has no way to assassinate the big boss, and he has been hacked to death on the spot by the big boss today, this is what he deserves, and it has nothing to do with the brothers, so don't quickly put down his weapons and surrender!" ”

While speaking, Zhou Zeng wiped his face, wiped all the pockmarks off his face, and shouted loudly: "What's the matter, I haven't known me for a few days, and I still want to rebel!" But seeing that he was holding a big knife stained with blood, he inspected the crowd with a sense of domineering in his majesty. The former confidant brother watched the big boss come back, and stood on Zhou Zeng's side with great joy, raising a knife to protect Zhou Zeng and the others. And these subordinates recruited by Zhou Jin, when they saw that the leader had been hacked to death by the big boss, there was no need to die for a dead person, so they put down their weapons one after another and surrendered to Zhou Zeng.

In an instant, the situation changed abruptly, and Zhang Harizi found that the situation was not right, and hurriedly fled from the cottage. When Wang Xuance, Zhou Zeng, Shopkeeper Li and others pacified the minions, it was difficult to find their traces! Zhou Zeng then sent several groups of people down the mountain to chase him, but in the end, all the rewards were nowhere to be found! So he led people to the residence of the second master, and after some searching, except for the gold and silver stolen back by Zhang Harrier, he still did not find the two letters related to Wang Xuance's future and fate! So his fiery temper burst out again in an instant: "Brother, I'll chase it personally, and I must catch this villain back for you!" ”

After thinking about it for two days, Wang Xuance already felt that the letter had no meaning, so he grabbed Zhou Zeng: "Since he has escaped, forget it, don't let him affect our brother's mood!" With that, he took Zhou Zeng and the brothers and went to the Juyi Hall to eat a large piece of meat and drink a big bowl of wine!

Yin and yang are reversed, and the universe is reconciled, and today's celebration banquet of others has become the celebration banquet of all brothers in a blink of an eye. The shadow of letters has long been lost at the banquet, and a peaceful and happy atmosphere envelops Bailongzhai. Zhou Zeng was very pleased to meet Wang Xuance, a brother in distress; Wang Xuance is also very happy to be able to make friends with such a loyal person. Unconsciously, the two have a feeling of being like-minded; Looking at Wang Xuance, who had great ambitions, he only heard Zhou Zeng pinching the black glazed wine bowl and said generously: "I am a reckless man, if my brother does not give up, Zhou Zeng is willing to follow my brother and make a career together." ”

But in the face of Wang Xuance, who had no merit and fame, he went to Chang'an, not only did he not know the good fortune and the bad luck; I don't know what I can do, so I can only politely decline his kindness! Looking at the disappointed Zhou Zeng, Wang Xuance said again: "For the development of the cottage and the future of the brothers, it is not the best destination to rob the house and be the king of the green forest after all, and the brothers should think about the brothers in this cottage is the top priority!" ”

Speaking of this sentiment, Zhou Zeng also understood Wang Xuance's intentions: he was right, he was the backbone of these brothers, as long as he settled down these brothers, he could give them a future and give himself a future; Although the heart of Zhao'an has long existed, it is still difficult to implement it today due to various reasons!

Wang Xuance seemed to have penetrated Zhou Zeng's inner world, and after picking up the black glazed wine bowl and him, he took advantage of the strength of the wine and said to him sincerely: "Brother, I am a white Ding until now, if I can get an official and a half-position in the capital this time, it would be very good, if not, wouldn't I be sorry brother?" I don't think it's as good as my brother still guarding the cottage, and after I see Dr. Wei Zhengwei, ask him to report to the court, and then the brothers will accept the court's edict, wouldn't it be possible to be a minister with the court and do a great thing to serve the country and the people! ”

Speaking of which, Zhou Zeng couldn't plead anymore, so he accepted his suggestion.

The sky was dotted with stars, and a full moon hung in the sky, illuminating the originally dark earth with a little more light. The two brothers, with the spirit of wine, sat on the Juyi Hall, accompanied by snoring sleep, and fell asleep! Reunion is always short-lived, but parting is sad; Although Zhou Zeng was repeatedly retained, Wang Xuance only stayed happily for three days!

There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and the two brothers parted with tears; Zhou Zeng sent it again and again, and this one was ten miles. Wang Xuance looked at Zhou Zeng, who was inseparable, and could only refrain earnestly: "Thank you brother for sending me off, it's really okay to get here; When I'm settled, I'll send you a letter! The two of them took a long break with endless sadness, and said goodbye!

Life is like this, a trivial inadvertent thing often affects the final direction of things; More likely to get a brother, a confidant. If Wang Xuance had walked by quickly, he would not have saved Zhou Zeng's life; If Wang Xuance hadn't helped Zhou Zeng at the beginning, there would have been no later story. Heaven is fair to everyone, only by keeping a good heart can we become auspicious! Through these things, Wang Xuance also understood a lot, understood a lot, and understood a lot!

Riding a yellow horse, holding a green sword, dressed in plain cloth and white clothes, the scene passed Luoyang in one day; Take care of everything and head for Chang'an. In a few days, I arrived at Michi, and remembered the Michi Huimeng mentioned by the master, so I wanted to go here for a trip; Something that never happened completely changed the whole itinerary and plan.

With the autumn wind, Wang Xuance led the horse to walk in front, and the terrain after Luoyang was quite flat, and there was no longer the steep mountains and rivers of the previous days, but although the road was flat, things did not seem to be smooth.

Walking, perceiving this, remembering this, feeling the splendor of the Yellow River civilization, and listening to the sound of the city's prosperity. Luoyang, Chang'an, the two royal capitals in Chinese history, are still flourishing today. Listen to it, listen and think about it, and feel that the things you have experienced are more exciting and exciting than in previous years. These days, I have not forgotten Master's earnest teachings, and I have been adhering to kindness and justice, and the people I have met have come into contact with quite smoothly.

With a leisurely step, I inadvertently came to the bank of the Luo River, and two miles to the north along the official road on the bank of the river is the Luo River ferry, which is the necessary ferry to Chang'an. Suddenly, I saw a carriage behind me rushing towards the Luo River in a panic. The driver was a servant in his teens and forties, but when he saw him, he shouted: "Let Jean, let Jean, the horse is frightened!" ”

Wang Xuance looked at the carriage that rushed over, and without thinking about a flash flash, he flashed to the side of the road. When the carriage rushed past, I only heard a girl's urgent cry for help from inside the car! Wang Xuance hurriedly chased after him, but still didn't pull the carriage, only heard a "poof": the car, people, and horses all crashed into the turbulent water of the Luo River!

Fortunately, the moment she fell into the water, the girl jumped out of the carriage. Wang Xuance didn't say a word, jumped into the river, swam to the girl who fell into the water, and bravely rescued this person who was struggling in the water! In a blink of an eye, it was pulled ashore, because the rescue was timely, and the girl was fine except for drinking two sips of cold river water! The two of them looked back and saw that the carriage and the horses had already been swept away by the turbulent water, and disappeared without a trace in minutes!

In this cold weather in August and September, looking at the two of them who were wet, I only let the chill drill into my heart. Facing the trembling girl, Wang Xuance took off two clean clothes from the horse's luggage and asked the girl to change into them in a secluded place. Although it is men's clothing, it looks decent, after all, Wang Xuance usually has a scholarly temperament!

Life, sometimes that's it, doesn't need to go through too many words; Maybe a single action, a small thing, will open a person's inner world and knock on the door that has been closed for a long time. We are all pursuing suitors, but in the end we are not pursuing anything, calmly, a casual thing, may solve all problems, this may be just fate.

Although in just a quarter of an hour, there were no other words except for the two sentences of changing clothes, but the hearts of the two seemed to have begun to collide. When he changed his clothes, Wang Xuance had already gone to the distance to find some dry firewood, and the bonfire suddenly rose. At this time, the girl just clasped her hands around her knees, lowered her head, and stared blankly at the raging flames. Wang Xuance, who saw a beautiful girl for the first time, didn't know how to greet her, let alone how to start.

He looked at the girl quietly, and she didn't look like he was a few years old. Because of the low head, I can only vaguely see quite upright facial features, plus a black hair coiled behind my head; Although he is wearing men's clothes, he can still see the quietness and tranquility in his bones! She seemed to be thinking, and she seemed to be stupefied by what she had just seen.

Thinking about what had just happened, he couldn't understand what was going on, whether it was a pure accident or an inexplicable murder. There are too many doubts about all this. Because at the moment when the carriage was about to fall into the river, the coachman jumped off the carriage, and he didn't care about the coachman just to save people, but when he rescued the girl, the coachman was gone! Is it the fear of sin and absconding, or the fear of being responsible for leaving? All these mysteries are waiting to be solved!

At this moment, the girl is very grateful to this son for saving his life; Because I was frightened by the scene just now, I didn't know how to express it for a moment. Looking at the dancing bonfire, reminded of what had happened these days, she felt that it must have been an unusual murder. But why did you kill such a little girl as him? At this moment, she also can't understand the root of the problem!

The two of them sat quietly next to the burning flame with a puzzled mentality, and Wang Xuance added some dry firewood from time to time to make the fire a little stronger; When their bodies warmed up a little, both of them slowly recovered from the cold. It was Wang Xuance who opened his mouth first, only to see him comforting him: "Girl, don't be too sad, fortunately, everything is over!" ”

Hearing such comforting words, I saw the girl slowly raise her head. Through the reflection of the bonfire, Wang Xuance was stunned and stunned, only to see this girl, like a hibiscus out of the water, a fairy on the flower, with a delicate face, dignified and delicate, a good picture of a nobleman. And when the girl raised her head and saw Wang Xuance, she saw that Wang Xuance had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, polite and polite, a polite and gentle scholar, just like that, her eyes were facing each other, and suddenly there was a form of sparks.

I only heard the girl come back with a voice like a warbler: "Well, thank you for saving your life." Wang Xuance looked at the delicate girl and then asked, "I don't know what difficulties the girl has encountered, why is this scene?" ”

With Wang Xuance's silent question, the girl also told him in detail about the things she had encountered these days! It turned out that the girl's surname was Li and her name was Xueyan, because her two brothers were fighting outside, and this time she went back to Jinyang Province instead of her father. Half a month ago, starting from Rencheng, all the way out of Dingtao, through Yanzhou, walking through Kaifeng, today I arrived at this place, ready to go all the way north to Bingzhou. I never thought about this way, first some of my own soldiers disappeared, and then I encountered bandits; It's always strange that something like this happened today. But I can't guess and I can't figure out what went wrong.

Wang Xuance quietly listened to the memories of the snow geese. At this moment, he seemed to understand that everything that happened just now should be a deliberate murder for a long time. And the chauffeur who escaped seems to be one of the masterminds of the incident. Originally, I wanted the carriage to crash into the river and have an accident; But I never thought that I could be bumped into by mistake and save the snow goose by the way! When Wang Xuance told her what he wanted in his heart. There is a huge question mark immediately reflected in Snow Goose's heart: who can buy this coachman who has followed my family for more than 20 years, this is also too big a conspiracy!

All of this seems to reveal what and what is revealed, is this really a big mystery? The two of them chatted for a long time around the bonfire, and Wang Xuance made an introduction to himself under the question of Xue Yan. Seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, Wang Xuance suggested: "After the Luohe ferry, not far away is Luohe Town, we might as well go to the town to rest for one night!" ”

……

This seems to be a big conspiracy, what does it portend? Who wanted to kill Li Xueyan, it seems that only by finding the coachman can the mystery be revealed. Lang Lang Qiankun, peaceful and prosperous times, there is such a scene, which suddenly makes people who are calm on the surface have a trace of mustard!
