Xu Liang said that going to drink, of course, is not an elegant place for dignitaries and dignitaries such as Kuiyuan Building and Qingping Building to enjoy wine, the moon and beauties, but a place to really relax and just want to get drunk. In a small wine shop that can only put a total of four tables, there are only the two of them at this moment, two large porcelain bowls on the table, an empty wine urn at the bottom is overturned to the side, Xu Liang is holding another heavy wine urn standing there to pour wine, and there is another wine urn with a mud seal that has not been removed.

As a drinker, Xu Xun thought that the amount of alcohol was not bad, but in the face of Xu Liang's posture of drinking like drinking water, he still couldn't bear it at all. However, his words were all taken by Xu Liang as a deaf ear, and I saw that this old man who was less than fifty years old this time poured another big bowl in one breath, and immediately wiped his mouth and burped with a red face, and finally two words burst out of his mouth.

"Happy!"

"Uncle!"

Xu Liang saw that Xu Xun was already a little anxious when he screamed, he suddenly smiled, shook his head vigorously, and his eyes, which had just been a little cloudy because of a large amount of strong wine, showed a little clarity: "You don't have to worry about me, I have survived all the hardships and difficulties for many years, it's not so unhelpful!" You don't have to say anything about compensation, the general direction is your idea, but the monk did it, he didn't expect this to happen, what does it have to do with you? I just didn't expect the grave to be empty......"

Hearing Xu Liang's voice gradually lowered, Xu Xun saw that the owner of this small wine shop had just taken enough money for the wine, and he didn't know where to go to drill sand at this time, so he moved the stool closer, and then persuaded: "Uncle, don't think about it so much, I will ask Lord Chen to check when I go back, if Xu Jin is mad and desecrates the bones in order to make a big deal, or there are wild beasts......"

"What if not?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Liang, and Xu Xun was speechless for a moment. In his bones, although he had never seen his father Xu Bian, he didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world, so even if he heard that Xu Liang's son's grave was empty at this moment, the first thing he thought of was Xu Jin's troublemaker, and then it was the work of the beasts in the suburbs, and he instinctively avoided another possible surname. However, under Xu Liang's direct gaze, he finally sighed after a long time.

"If not, then maybe my dad really ......"

Xu Liang saw that Xu Xun picked up the wine bowl that had not been moved for a long time before he finished speaking, and drank most of the bowl in one go, he couldn't help laughing, and said slowly: "If the empty tomb was not done by Xu Jin, and it was not a beast raging, I would still be grateful to Second Master Xu." If it weren't for him, even if the child had survived, maybe the next poverty and embarrassment would still have killed him, and I wouldn't even be able to make him read and write. Although he was away all the year round, the child he harmed was neglected and excluded in the Xu family, but after all, he was able to live comfortably for many years without worrying about food and clothing. Therefore, Second Master Xu has raised my son for many years, and the person who owes him is actually my ......"

One son at a time, one by one him, Xu Xun smiled bitterly, but he didn't want to refute Xu Liang, who was already half drunk. Seeing that although people don't drink anymore, they are babbling about the struggles of a person for many years, the loneliness of a person, and the helplessness of a person, and he doesn't ask for his surname anymore, but listens quietly on the side, and the thoughts that have been floating in his mind seem to be stagnant in these words.

The three urns of wine were drunk, and the two of them went back and forth to relax several times, and then they came out of the small wine shop with each other, but after pulling out the horse, no one had the strength to ride the horse, so they could only lead the horse step by step and move back slowly. This is a small alley next to Anren Street on the shore of Xuanwu Lake in the north city, compared to the southern city where the common people live, there are not only many empty houses near here that the rich families moved to the capital more than a hundred years ago, but also a lot of wasteland, even in broad daylight, there are no people.

"If you really go all the way back like this, I'm afraid it will take at least an hour or two." Xu Liang drank more than Xu Xun, but he was quite drunk and spoke quite sharply, "The last time I drank like this was to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with the monk." ”

"It is said that they will sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman...... I've never drunk this in my life. Xu Xun shook his head vigorously, only to feel that everything in front of him was spinning there, "If there is a next time, next time you drink, I will drink water!" ”

"A manly man who doesn't drink...... What a hero! ”

The two of them were about to walk out of the alley crookedly, but Xu Liang suddenly heard an unforgettable whistle from outside, and some long-term memories suddenly appeared in his mind, and then his face changed greatly. He suddenly grabbed Xu Xun, pulled off the reins of his bareback horse, took two steps back and slapped him on the buttocks. Seeing that the horse neighed and galloped out, he immediately leaned down and copied a green brick in his hand, and heard a sound of machine springs outside, and then there was an earth-shattering neigh, he threw off Xu Xun, leaned against the wall, and then rushed out.

As soon as he got out of the alley, sure enough, he saw his naked horse lying on the ground with an arrow from it. Seeing a man with a crossbow suddenly turn his head, he smashed out the green brick in his hand without saying a word, and immediately shouted angrily, and the whole person also rushed over, regardless of the punch and smashed the door in front of the person. The man with the crossbow was caught off guard, although he let go of the previous green brick, but the latter punch could not be dodged after all, and the whole person was actually sent out by this charged punch. Seeing this scene, Xu Liang stepped forward with an arrow, picked up the crossbow that fell on the ground, and searched for three arrows on the man's body.

"Uncle, what's going on......"

"There's an assassin, you go!"

Xu Liang couldn't help but push Xu Xun to another horse, but Xu Xun was not very good at riding, and now he couldn't step on the stirrup, he was so tired that he was out of breath and couldn't put people on horseback. At this moment, seeing a crossbow-like object being leaned against the wall by Xu Liang, Xu Xun's drunkenness had already woken up half, and he suddenly grabbed Xu Liang.

"Uncle, you go first, otherwise you will go together......"

"It's all time, listen to me!"

"Uncle, do you want to die together? You can call someone when you rush out, but if I ...... I can't even get on a horse, and it's half-baked to fight and fight, and I'm not familiar with the streets and alleys of this northern city, so how to escape if I meet someone again! ”

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned red, and he suddenly took his head and hit the wall on the side twice, and blood even came out of his forehead for a while, but the person suddenly sobered up a lot with this tingling feeling. Xu Xun looked stunned for a moment, and only then did he want to say something, but he saw Xu Liang pick up the crossbow and load it with an arrow, and then pulled the reins and got on the horse's back without saying a word, and stretched out a hand to him. After understanding the meaning, he asked for his heart to be horizontal, and after grabbing it hard, he tried his best to lift his foot, and after several times, he finally reached the stirrup, and finally stepped on the horse's back under Xu Liang's pull.

He knew in his heart that although the horse was a good horse guarding the eunuch's mansion, the saddle could only accommodate one person, not to mention his poor riding skills, and he couldn't hold on to this way. But what he didn't expect was that Xu Liang actually took out a rope that the naked horse used as a rein, tightly tied the two people around their waists, and ordered him to clamp his feet around the horse's belly and hug himself. At this moment, he didn't have time to think about it, he only felt a strong forward momentum, followed by such a gallop out.

Xu Xun, who had only learned to ride a horse for a few days, had never experienced such a galloping feeling, and at this moment, he only felt that the rope strangled his waist for a while, and the whole person had no time to look at the surrounding situation. When passing by the previous street intersection, he noticed that Xu Liang jumped over an obstacle with a horse, but immediately after that, two men rushed out with knives. The next moment, he heard a sharp sound that broke through the air, and when he saw the person facing him fall in response, he saw Xu Liang pick up the crossbow he had just used and smash it at the other person, and while the other party was dodging, the mount under him rushed straight over without slowing down at all.

For him, who has only watched police and bandit shootout movies, this kind of real knife and gun fight is the first time in his life. Therefore, when he got out of the danger at this time, even if he didn't exert any strength at all in this fight, he still broke out in a cold sweat. When he came back to his senses, he found that Xu Liang's arm had been cut open about the time when he was wrong with the assassin, and blood was gushing. Before he could think about how to treat the wound urgently, there was another loud sound behind him, and almost at the same time, he suddenly felt a pain in his left shoulder, and the whole person involuntarily rushed forward, almost hitting Xu Liang hard.

"Xun'er!"

Xu Liang looked back and saw that an arrow was deeply pierced into Xu Xun's left shoulder, and he was immediately furious. However, at this time, he could only press the anxiety in his heart, and tried his best to ride his horse forward, until he turned into the big stone bridge in front of him, he knew that it was not far from Nanjing Guozijian, and the other party would never risk chasing him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still did not dare to take it lightly, and the speed of the horse became faster and faster.

Until he stopped at the gate of the fourth archway of Guozijian, he didn't get off the horse, so he shouted to the porter who came forward: "Go and report to Lord Jiuzhang, just say that Xu Qigongzi is seriously injured, and his life is in a hurry, please ask him to save people!" ”

Seeing that the porter was stunned for a moment and rushed in, Xu Liang carefully hugged Xu Xun, who was already unknown, down, but feared that the assassins would still not stop, so he went straight to the gate of the Guozijian and sat down when he found it safe. I don't know how long it took, he waited for Zhang Mao and the others who came in a hurry, and he didn't know where he came up with a bold idea, and he actually knocked his head a few times as soon as he put the person aside.

"Master Zhang, this kid was hit by an arrow in order to save me, I implore you to try to save him!"

"What?"

Zhang Mao was leading the surname hall to give a lecture, and he was originally very annoyed by being disturbed, but when he heard that Xu Xun was seriously injured and ran to Guozijian, he had to come out to take a look. Hearing such words at this time, he only felt that the whole person was confused, but he still immediately drank a soap next to him to ask for the best trauma doctor, and ordered the person to be carried back to his official office, and then sent people to Beicheng Terracotta Division Shangyuan County and Yingtianfu to report the case. After cooking these, he remembered Xu Liang on the side, and saw that his arms were also bloody, so he immediately took out a piece of white cloth and handed it over without saying a word, but his face sank.

"Come in with me, go back and tell me what's going on!"
