Lao Zhang recognized Xiao Buyi for a while, but he didn't know him for a while, and he was confused.

The general in front of him had thick eyebrows, a straight nose, and a handsome mess, exactly like the bandit leader who robbed back then. But how can a bandit leader be a great general, isn't this a big joke?

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "Go to the assassin and see what clues there are, these people are simply lawless now." ”

Bing Wei went over the dead assassin early, Lao Zhang knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "General, general, the villain was blinded by the ghost for a while, and he looked at the wrong general......"

Xiao Buyi said in his heart, you read that right, the bandit and the general were originally the same person. It's just that now you want to testify against me like Lai San, and you don't have Yu Wenhua and do backstage, and it's a joke to testify against me.

"Get up," Xiao Buyi saw that Lao Zhang's head was almost kowtowed, and said with a pleasant face: "Remember the truth that trouble comes from the mouth, be careful next time, go back." ”

Lao Zhang Qian'en turned around, but the guards turned around, and said with some trepidation: "My lord, the assassin did not leave any clues, but his subordinates will go to inform Wang Taishou and ask him to find out the person who instructed him as soon as possible." And General Xiao, how to deal with these diners, whether to arrest them and interrogate them, there may be assassins' comrades in it. ”

The situation was chaotic just now, and all the diners were originally scattered, but they were all controlled by the guards who rushed from all sides, and now they looked at the young general in front of them tremblingly.

Xiao Buyi ignored his men's advice and got up to the Assassin's side, where he saw his young face full of disbelief and horror.

The Assassin was still very young, but he had lost his last name early.

Xiao Buyi looked at that face, and once again found that he had changed a lot, in the past, he always ran for his life, in the past, when he assassinated him, he always had to think about who would kill him and how to resolve it, but now it is different.

When the killer came to kill him, he almost didn't hesitate to fight back and kill him, his life was like a mustard, and he only had one, and killing to stop killing was the only way for him now.

Since he became the general of the right Xiaowei, although he doesn't want to put on a score, his subordinates always have to follow. Xiao Buyi was used to being alone, and suddenly he was a little unaccustomed to hugging each other. However, although he did not let the guards follow, after all, the general was stationed in Mayi City, where did the guards dare to slacken, they had already been patrolling the bright posts and secret posts in Mayi City, but they did not expect that the assassins would still be able to sneak in unknowingly.

A completely unfamiliar face, two people who are completely unfamiliar, but they are destined to be separated from each other, when Xiao Buyi stood up, he smiled and came to this ridiculous conclusion.

"You're Shangguan Lanxuan, right?" Xiao Buyi turned around and asked.

The guard said, "Yes." ”

"Do as you say, let these people go." Xiao Buyi groaned, "You guys retreat, I want to be quiet alone." ”

The guards nodded and disappeared into the shadows, ghostly.

Xiao Buyi sat back on the stool, saw the old man looking at him, and took out a string of money apologetically and put it on the table, "Fortunately, the loss is not big, this money is good for my compensation." ”

The old man looked at Xiao Buyi with cloudy eyes, slowly accepted the copper coin, and quickly came up with a bowl of noodles.

He silently cleaned up the scattered tables and stools, did not complain, and waited patiently for the arrival of the guests.

"Why do you say so many people want to kill me?" Xiao Buyi looked at the old man and suddenly asked, "This was the case last year, and it is still the same this year?" ”

The old man's lips squirmed twice, and he said hoarsely, "Why don't you say they killed me?" ”

Xiao Buyi looked at the old man's eyes, and said for a long time: "Thank you." ”

The old man said no more, and turned back to the soup pot to continue to wait, and it was late at night, and it was obviously not the diners who were waiting, but the life.

A gentle cough came, Xiao Buyi was about to get off the chopstick, Huo Ran turned around, the coughing sound was actually very familiar, which made him suddenly think of Li Xuanba!

That fire-like man, the one who burned his last life and won life for the Li family!

A person walked out of the darkness, slowly sat down in front of Xiao Buyi, turned his head to the old man and said, "Come to a bowl of pig's foot noodles." ”

The man was dressed in men's clothes, but it was obviously a woman, Xiao Buyi was stunned for a while before saying, "Miss Pei, why are you?" ”

Pei Mingcui lost a lot of weight, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes, and there was a shadow of Li Xuanba's original appearance, Xiao Buyi's heart suddenly felt ominous, and she didn't expect Pei Mingcui to go to Mayi.

Pei Mingcui glanced at Xiao Buyi, then at the steaming bowl of pork knuckle noodles in front of her, and did something unexpected to Xiao Buyi, she picked up the chopsticks that were not clean, and ate the noodles in a big gulp, as if she hadn't eaten for a few days.

Xiao Buyi didn't speak, quietly waiting for her to finish the bowl of noodles. After Pei Mingcui finished eating a bowl of noodles, she put down her chopsticks and said something strange, "I don't feel hungry." ”

"I see you haven't eaten for at least three days." Xiao Buyi smiled.

Pei Mingcui coughed, "I eat less every day and think more, although I am not hungry, I have to eat, and only after eating will I have the strength to think about things." ”

Xiao Buyi frowned, "You don't look very sick. He was a little incredulous about Pei Mingcui's changes, too many things had changed in a year.

Pei Mingcui suddenly said in shock: "Wang Xuba is dead." ”

"You killed it?"

"I guess I killed it. They're cunning, and I've never been so desperate to die alone. Pei Mingcui sighed softly, "Wang Xuba, Wei Dao'er are extremely cautious people, and it is not easy to let them die." After Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er conspired against Xuanba, they did not stay in the eastern capital, and went straight to the west, knowing that I would not let them go, and returned to their hometown to rebel, Wang Xuba claimed to be the king of Mantian, and Wei Dao'er finally played the banner of Lishan Fei, they gathered hundreds of thousands of people to prepare to attack Zhuo County, but they were defeated by the general of Zuo Yuwei, Zhuo County left behind Xue Shixiong and Wei Chi Gong to defeat ......"

Seeing Xiao Buyi's expression moving slightly, Pei Mingcui asked, "What's wrong with Brother Xiao?" ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

He finally heard others talk about Wei Chigong, and remembered that he could live until now, and with the merits of today, Wei Chigong's guidance was indispensable.

Although Pei Mingcui is well-informed, she must not know the friendship between Xiao Buyi and Wei Chigong, she looks very tired and haggard, "I followed them all the way to Zhuo County, and killed Wang Suba when he was defeated, but Wei Dao'er escaped," Pei Mingcui sighed: "And I don't know where to go, and I can't find him." ”

Xiao Buyi heard Pei Mingcui's simple words, I don't know how much hard work and sadness it contains, and finally said: "Miss Pei, Brother Xuanba has a confidant like you, and he dies without regrets." If he had known about it, he wouldn't have wanted you to go back and forth like this......"

Seeing Pei Mingcui lower her head, two tears falling from the noodle bowl, Xiao Buyi no longer tried to persuade him, he knew that this kind of sadness had entered the bones, Pei Mingcui was not for Li Xuanba, but for the determination in her heart. She has a deep affection for Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba went, and she couldn't persuade herself to stop.

Pei Mingcui is undoubtedly an extremely persistent person.

The night was as cold as water, and only the fire on the side brought a warmth to the cold night, and the old man no longer looked at the strange diners, but at the distant night sky, where the stars were dotted and unchanged.

"There are three men I admire the most in my life." Pei Mingcui didn't look up, and said in a low voice: "One is the saint, I know that he is unreasonable in the eyes of many people, but I know that he is an affectionate man, and I still can't forget Chen Xuanhua." How long can you remember the dead, a day or a lifetime? The saint can remember a lifetime, and I thank him for my aunt. The second one I admire is Xuanba, I was a childhood sweetheart with him, but I only saw him struggling for his life, I felt a lifetime of pain for him in my heart, but I smiled for him all my life on my face, after he died, I never laughed again......"

Xiao Buyi was sad when he heard it, but he just looked at the strange woman in front of him, the more he knew, the more difficult it was for him to understand this woman's mind.

Although she always shows herself as rough, her inner delicacy is really rare and unmatched.

"The third man I admire is you." Pei Mingcui raised her head and looked at Xiao Buyi, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't wipe them away, "Brother Xiao, I can say that I watched you step by step from a civilian to today's position as a general, I am happy for you, but I also feel that I dragged you into the water, but I am also a little confused, I originally just wanted to find a good minister for the saint, and then I wanted Brother Xiao to slowly understand and persuade the saint, but I found that all this was in vain, many things can no longer be changed." But Brother Xiao's change really surprised me, but it is not a good thing to be a master after all, Zixu Wen Huaiyin Marquis, which one will not die well in the end, although the saint named you a general, but it is also an expedient measure, if you don't do it well, you will be killed by the old valve, such as today's assassination, the future mutiny, you do well, the saint will not keep you in the end......"

Xiao Buyi was stunned, not because of his own situation, but because Pei Mingcui actually said Yang Guang's thoughts in front of him.

Pei Mingcui sighed softly, "I heard that the Holy Shang was surrounded, I didn't care about looking for Wei Dao'er anymore, so I went straight from Zhuojun to the Eastern Capital to ask for help, you know, my news has always been better." It's just that the message can be used with pigeons, and it is still necessary to ask for help. ”

Xiao Buyi remembered the pigeon when Pei Bei was out of the plug, and knew that what she said was true.

Pei Mingcui said again: "Yanmen was besieged, I got the news and quickly arrived in the eastern capital, and then invited troops to Yanmen County, I didn't show up, so I could only arrive later." But when I arrived at Tongguan, I knew that the siege of Yanmen had been lifted, and I waited for the saint in Tongguan, but the saint went to the eastern capital. ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "At the beginning, it seemed that the saint announced that he was going to Xijing, why did he transfer to the Eastern Capital?" ”

Pei Mingcui shook her head slowly, "It's a good move to go to Xijing, but I don't know why I can go to Dongdu." I know the temper of the saint, and I didn't dissuade it in Tongguan, but I was going to go to Taiyuan to pay tribute to Xuanba, and then go back to the eastern capital to ask the saint ......"

She said a little confused, as if she couldn't be sure, Xiao Buyi frowned secretly, and said in her heart that Yang Guang had changed three times, and everyone rebelled and left, and now it seems that even the loyal Pei Mingcui is at a loss, and it's good for him, a general, to find a way out.

"But I know you're in Mayi, so I'll stop by to see you." Pei Mingcui got up slowly, took out six coins and put them on the table, "Boss, this is my face money." ”

"This meal ......" Xiao Buyi saw Pei Mingcui's somewhat thin figure, and the following words couldn't be spoken.

"It seems like I don't owe you anything from today onwards." Pei Mingcui asked seriously.

Xiao Buyi sighed and said: "If you owe me like this, then I really hope that everyone in the world owes me." ”

Pei Mingcui also sighed lightly, "In this case, my trip to Mayi is not worth it, but I say goodbye today, I don't know what to say goodbye, and now the future is difficult to guess, please cherish Brother Xiao." ”

After she said this, she had slowly walked into the darkness, slow but firm.

Xiao Buyi wanted to say something, but finally sat down and was speechless for a while.

The nights are deeper, the wind is colder, and autumn in the north seems to come early and cold. Xiao Buyi didn't move, but the old man who sold noodles didn't move, and he didn't persuade the diner to leave early.

Perhaps in his mind, it is okay to turn around, and it is also a good thing to have someone to accompany him through the long night.

In the long night, a desolate and old voice came, as if singing and sighing, "I don't know what is going on today, I don't know what is going on, I don't know what to do today, I don't know what to do after the land, the rich and the full moon is difficult to last long, and the red face is old in front of the red candle, even if it is a romance through the ages, the wind is bleak, and the people are insignificant, in the end, fate is inescapable......"

Xiao Buyi was attracted by the old man's desolate voice, turned his head to look over, only to find that for some reason, two tears dripped from the old man's cloudy eyes, fell into the dust, and became one color.

**When Xiao Buyi returned to the General's Mansion, he was not happy.

There is no general's mansion in Mayi, but since General Youxiaowei wants to live here for a few days, Wang Rengong still prepared a mansion for Xiao Buyi to live temporarily.

When he saw Xiao Buyi turn around, Fang Wuregret showed a very strange expression on his face, and lowered his voice and said, "Lord Xiao, your wife is looking for you." ”

Xiao Buyi was a little stunned, "My wife, who is it?" ”

Fang Wuregret frowned and said: "So they lied to me, they said that they knew Lord Xiao, there are two women who say that they are your wife, and there is a beard, and they say that they are your brother." The villain was ignorant, deceived by them, thinking that they were really the relatives of Lord Xiao, so he entertained them, thinking that the adult Yushu was in the wind, how could there be such an ugly brother, he should be beaten! ”

He raised his hand to hit himself, but he didn't expect Xiao Buyi to grab his hand, and said in surprise: "Are they, many people, where are they?" ”

"There are four main ones, and the rest are servants."

When Xiao Buyi saw the bearded man, he walked over quickly, "Big brother, how did you find me?" ”

When he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the two women sitting on the side, one was already flushed, a little young, but he still looked at him secretly a few times, and the other was a little pale, somewhat bloody, and when he saw Xiao Buyi looking over, he smiled lightly.

There was also one person in the room, with a clear face, dressed as a literati, and the moment Xiao Buyi saw the four of them, all the melancholy was swept away. He didn't expect that the bearded guest, Pei Bei, Yuan Lan and Yuan Qiaoxi would find this place.

Waving his hand to let Fang Wuregret and the servants go down, Xiao Buyi looked at Pei Bei and said, "Are you better injured?" ”

Pei Bei nodded, "It's better, it's just that I'm too depressed at Doctor Leshen......"

"It's not that I'm depressed, it's that there's no third brother there." The bearded guest laughed, "In Taiping Village, a beard and a white beard, you don't have any taste when you look at it." ”

Everyone laughed, Pei Beiping said coldly, after changing into women's clothes, her surname also changed a lot, and she blushed and said, "Big brother, you ......"

The bearded guest sighed, pinched his throat and said, "Qiaoxi, what do you say Brother Xiao is doing now, will it be dangerous?" ”

The second daughter was stunned, and Yuan Qiaoxi was puzzled: "Big brother, what's wrong with you." ”

Their relationship seems to be very familiar, Pei Bei naturally calls Brother Bearded Ke because of respect, Yuan Qiaoxi calls him Big Brother, but because of Pei Bei. It's just that in any case, this big brother is always good, and with this top master as a big brother, it is something that many people envy.

The bearded guest pinched his throat again and said: "Sister, even if the bearded brother says that Brother Xiao's martial arts are not weak now, and Brother Xiao is smart and quick, there should be nothing wrong." ”

The two daughters suddenly blushed, looked at each other, and were ashamed.

Xiao Buyi still didn't know why, and he couldn't understand why the bearded guest was suddenly crazy. The bearded guest pinched his throat again and said, "Qiaoxi, I'm always not at ease." Brother Xiao, he is sometimes extremely smart, sometimes he is stupid and stupid, and he doesn't want his life for some things......"

Yuan Lan just smiled on the side, looked at a few people and teased, and said again: "That sister, let's go to Brother Xiao, okay, but I'm afraid you won't be able to walk." I walked, I got better, but I was only afraid of troublesome Brother Zhang, how could I talk to Brother Zhang. The bright moon in the sky, if you hear my words, let Brother Xiao pay more attention......"

"Shut up." Pei Bei Huo Ran stood up, her face was flushed, she was already infinitely shy, Xiao Buyi finally understood the cause and effect, it turned out that the bearded guest heard the conversation between Pei Bei and Yuan Qiaoxi in Taiping Village, and repeated it to him at this time.

"Moon, ......" What was the bearded guest going to say again, Pei Bei Huoran raised his arm and pouted: "Brother Zhang, you are a bad person, do you believe that I beat you into a sieve?" ”

The bearded guest said with a straight face: "I'm not Brother Zhang. ”

"And who are you?" Pei Bei asked puzzled.

"I am the moon." The bearded guest laughed and said, "The moon heard someone's wish, and that's ......"

Pei Bei abruptly returned her hand and threw it out with the teacup, but it was full of strength. The bearded guest's figure flashed, he had already retreated to the door, stretched out his hand to take the teacup, and the voice came from outside the door, "Cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, this moon, the same as the old moon, deserve it." ”

The bearded guest's voice disappeared in an instant, and Yuan Lan also stood up with a smile, yawned and said, "Brother Zhang is really funny, I'll go find him for a drink." ”

He said he would just go, and disappeared in an instant. When he walked into the courtyard, he found that the bearded guest was looking up at Mingyue, and said softly: "Brother Zhang doesn't know what he's thinking, this way, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get here smoothly." ”

The bearded guest smiled, but his expression was a little lonely, "I just think about the light of the eternal moon, I don't know if there will be a person like me, and I am also inexplicably melancholy?" ”

**Yuan Qiaoxi was also a little flustered when she saw her father walking away, "I'll go see my father's ......"

"Don't go." Pei Bei stretched out her hand and grabbed Yuan Qiaoxi, "Qiaoxi, you stay." ”

Yuan Qiaoxi's face flushed, "I, I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep." ”

Pei Bei laughed, and reached out to scratch her ribs, "You just said that you are not sleepy, you have to wait for Brother Xiao to turn around and look at him." ”

"Sister Pei." Yuan Qiaoxi's little face was red, and there were tears in her eyes, "You said it or not." ”

Pei Bei was a little apologetic when she saw her innocence and grievances, "It's my sister's fault, can my sister apologize to you?" ”

Xiao Buyi saw that there was no place for him to interject here, and wanted to leave but couldn't, so he had to say, "I'm sleepy." ”

Pei Beixiu's eyes widened, "Qiaoxi has been waiting for you for so long, and you are not allowed to leave if you are sleepy." ”

Xiao Buyi couldn't cry or laugh, but there was more warmth and sweetness in his heart, he was running around, often on the line of life and death, Ping Yue also thought of Pei Bei and Yuan Qiaoxi, but he knew that many times, it was useless to think about it, and the suppressed thoughts were like mellow wine that had been put away for a long time, only more fragrant.

Looking at the two women looking at themselves with tenderness, Xiao Buyi just thanked the sky, and said in his heart that he was so virtuous, with the favor of the two daughters, he was reluctant to lose any of them, but if he really had it, he felt ashamed in his heart and did not deserve it.

I just understand that what Xiao Dapeng said is right, in this era, three wives and four concubines are really common, but although he has integrated into this era, he still has modern ideas in his bones, Pei Bei's surname is strong, clever and tender, and it is a great luck to have such a woman for life, both of them, he is afraid that he will hurt them.

"Buyi, are you okay?" Pei Bei took Yuan Qiaoxi's hand, just afraid that she would run away. A thousand words wanted to be spoken, but only turned into a greeting.

"It's fine. What about you? By the way, Belle, is your injury better? ”

"Brother Zhang is really a genius," Pei Bei said admiringly: "In fact, when Dr. Le Shen treated me, he was not too sure, he said that I have to have faith in this disease, and my confidence is because of Brother Xiao." Speaking of this, Pei Bei blushed a little, and diverted the topic: "Originally, according to Doctor Leshen, I will have at least three years to recuperate, coarse tea and light rice, and kudzu root is indispensable, but I didn't expect that after Brother Zhang took my pulse, he specially wrote a pranayama mantra for me, and after three days of correction, let me continue to practice." I've been practicing for so long, and my body is still weak, but I'm already strong enough to walk, and I feel in good spirits, and I think I'll have a good day. ”

Xiao Buyi was pleased: "Big brother, this person, with a cold face and a warm heart, has great kindness to you and me, and we have to find a way to repay it in the future." ”

Pei Bei suddenly blushed a little when he heard him talk about us, and Yuan Qiaoxi said aside: "Big brother, is there anything else to be embarrassed about?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "Whether it is a high-ranking emperor or a knight with superb martial arts, they are all the same as us, with joy and sadness. It's just that we can talk to someone a lot of the time, but many times they are like lone wolves, they can only lick their wounds silently, and the pain is not enough for outsiders. ”

Pei Bei's surprise when she saw Xiao Buyi coming was already haunted by a faint emotion, knowing that he had something on his mind, "Big brother, have you encountered anything unhappy?" ”

Yuan Qiaoxi was originally shy, but when she heard this, she also looked at Xiao Buyi, full of seriousness. Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment and said, "I met Miss Pei today." ”

Pei Bei was surprised and delighted: "Is Miss Pei okay?" ”

Yuan Qiaoxi was a little stunned, and couldn't understand why another Miss Pei came out, "Sister, is it your sister?" ”

Pei Bei sneered and said, "No, it used to be my young lady." She heard Xiao Buyi talk about today's events, and frowned: "Who wants to kill you again, is it Liu Wuzhou, the young lady always said that he has backbones!" ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "I don't know, Bei'er, don't think about it too much, everything is with me, it's late......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Buyi realized that something was wrong, and sure enough, Pei Bei and Yuan Qiaoxi were both flushed, Pei Bei quickly adjusted, pulled Yuan Qiaoxi and said, "Big brother, then will Qiaoxi accompany you tonight?" She said, you ......"

Yuan Qiaoxi almost cried, "Sister, I ignore you." ”

Pei Bei laughed and shook her head helplessly, "Qiaoxi, if the eldest brother doesn't accompany you, then I'll accompany you." ”

She pulled Yuan Qiaoxi and walked out quickly, Xiao Buyi only saw Yuan Qiaoxi's red face, Pei Bei's earlobes were also red, knowing that the two of them were shy, helplessly spread their hands, and muttered to themselves: "It looks like there are more women, and it's not a good thing!" ”.
