Xu Shao'an looked for prestige, and saw a low-level general of the Zhou army dressed as a head, leading more than a dozen soldiers to appear at the door of the restaurant. Before Xu Shao'an could step forward to explain, the guy from the restaurant who had received him came out from behind the soldiers, pointed at Xin Feiyu and the other three and said, "Yudutou, the one who didn't pay for the meal, and the one who had a conflict with the captain was the big man in black and the two people beside him. ”

The man looked over along the man's finger, and first saw Xin Feiyu and the other three dressed as ordinary people. Then he saw Lin Xiaoyu standing behind Xin Feiyu's side, and was immediately shocked, his eyes stopped on her for a long time before turning to Xu Shao'an's side - like Xin Feiyu, the Qi family brothers behind Lin Xiaoyu were also directly ignored by him.

After this capital leader saw Xu Shao'an's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is the clever commander Xu?" ”

Xu Shaoan didn't expect that a small commander of his own would be recognized by the soldiers patrolling the streets - he didn't want to think that when he was attacking the city a few days ago, he stood on the top of the high watchtower and personally waved the flag to command, and with a dazzling star like him, how could the soldiers below not take a few more glances.

Although Xu Shaoan doesn't care about being a star, this problem makes him a little dilemma. Admit your identity, just now I was still swearing to Xin Feiyu that I didn't know anything about "flying thunder" or gunpowder, but now I have become a direct commander who specializes in operating firearms. Xin Feiyu, who was already suspicious of himself, wouldn't he treat himself as a liar even more? If you don't admit your identity, that's a bit unreasonable. The dignified and straightforward commander didn't dare to admit his identity, what would the soldiers of the Zhou army think of themselves, what would Zhao Kuangyin think of themselves, and what would Chai Rong think of himself?

After some thinking and weighing, Xu Shaoan Zuihou still decided to admit his identity. Therefore, he saluted back to Nadu and said, "Yes, it is Xu." ”

Seeing that he didn't recognize the wrong person, he hurriedly saluted again: "The villain really didn't admit his mistake." In the first battle of Shouzhou, Commander Xu led the divine machine to show his might, and conquered such a strong city within half a day, and his reputation was unparalleled in the army for a while. Today, I was fortunate to meet Commander Xu, and the villain was really fortunate to have three lives. ”

Although what this Dutou said was the truth, when he said it in such an unusually flattering tone, Xu Shaoan still felt very uncomfortable, and hurriedly waved his hand and said humbly: "The head is too famous, conquer Shouzhou City on Lai Bixia Hongfu, and rely on the soldiers to use their lives, I, Xu Shaoan, have just done some things, where can I be considered a god." ”

When the head heard Xu Shao'an say this, he also felt that he had been a little bit over-slapped, how could he say that this Xu commander seemed to be more powerful than today's saint. So, as soon as he agreed with Xu Shao'an's statement, he immediately changed the topic and asked: "Commander Xu, the villain listened to the guy in this restaurant say that there are a few defeated soldiers of the Southern Tang Army here who pretend to be ordinary people to eat the 'overlord meal'. Later, Commander Xu asked you to come forward to reprimand them, but these bold and reckless thieves wanted to use force against you, I don't know if there is such a thing? After speaking, he also glanced at Xin Feiyu and the others intentionally. Sui Na means, as long as Xu Shaoan nods to confirm, he will go up to arrest people.

For Xu Shao'an, even if he couldn't immediately bring Xin Feiyu back to the camp for resettlement, it was impossible to treat the other party as a troublesome Southern Tang Army rout and hand it over to the patrol of the Zhou army. Therefore, he immediately pretended to be surprised and said, "Where did Dutou start with this?" The conductor drank and chatted with a few friends who hadn't seen him for many years, and he didn't see anyone eating the 'overlord meal', and no one wanted to be unfavorable to the conductor. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shaoan also pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and explained: "It must be that this commander met with his old friend, and he was inevitably a little excited emotionally, and his actions were also a little big, which caused the guys in the restaurant to have a misunderstanding. Thinking that something big had happened, he ran to the street and invited the head of the capital. ”

Xu Shaoan's reversal of black and white made everyone present stunned. The guys in the "Binyang Building" were all in a petrified state at this time, and they didn't understand that the commander was going to talk nonsense with his eyes open. Especially the guy who found the Zhou army patrol team, at this time, he really felt like crying without tears, and he didn't know how to explain to the head of the team that he didn't lie and play with them. ,

In fact, not only the guys in the restaurant, but also Xin Feiyu and his companions, Lin Xiaoyu and the Qi family brothers, and even the head of the capital were confused at this time, and they didn't understand what the commander was singing - not to mention the people who were present just now, even the patrol team who had just entered the restaurant could judge from what they saw when they entered the restaurant that this commander Xu and the men dressed as ordinary people opposite were by no means old friends reunited.

However, this state of disbelief did not last long. The first to react was Xin Feiyu, the patrolman's words of flattering Xu Shaoan, coupled with Xu Shaoan's performance just now and now, made him quickly make a judgment, a judgment that made him feel a little excited and a little surprised. Therefore, he hurriedly echoed Xu Shao'an's words: "Exactly, exactly." The villain and Brother Xu haven't seen each other for many years, and they don't want to meet here. In addition to the unexpected joy, it is inevitable that the voice will be louder and the actions will be rude, which will inevitably cause misunderstanding among the restaurant guys. At the end of the day, it's all a misunderstanding. Because I waited for the informality, I made you run in vain, I really don't want to go, and I hope you will bear with me. ”

For the head of the patrol, Xin Feiyu's words were the same as Xu Shaoan's words just now, and they were very far-fetched and had no credibility at all. However, this is also a smart person, although he doesn't understand that Xu Shao'an wants to protect these guys who eat "overlord meals", but he knows quite well that Xu Shao'an is now a celebrity around today, and the Son of Heaven appreciates it very much. If I can't handle this matter according to his wishes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat and walk around. Therefore, after listening to the black-clothed man on the other side also echoed Xu Shaoan, he immediately took over the conversation and saluted Xu Shaoan: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, since this is the case, the villain will not disturb Commander Xu to get together with his friends." The villain still has official business, so he quit. ”

When Xu Shaoan heard this, he returned the salute to the capital, and said some polite words on the other hand, and sent him out of the door of the restaurant. And just when Xu Shaoan sent him out, Nadu didn't forget to turn his head and glared at the guy who reported the news, which frightened the guy and immediately recovered from the petrified state, turned his head and hid in the back kitchen of the restaurant, never daring to come out again.

After sending off the head of the street patrol, Xu Shaoan returned to the restaurant, woke up another guy who was still in a petrified state, and asked him to get a pen and paper. Then, Xu Shaoan picked up the pen, wrote his address in Kaifeng on a piece of paper, handed it to Xin Feiyu, and said: "Since Xin Zhuangshi is unwilling to join the army again, this commander is not reluctant. In the future, if the strong man changes his mind, he can go to Kaifeng to find this commander, and this commander will still match Xin Zhuang as he said before. ”

After speaking, Xu Shaoan hugged Xin Feiyu with a fist, and then didn't say anything more, but came to the Qi family brothers, and said apologetically: "I originally planned to have a good talk with the two of you today, but there is such a thing, I can only continue to talk next time, and I hope the two of you will bear with me." If the two of them really want to do glass business, they can go directly to the north to talk to Xu's brothers. In terms of trading, they are much stronger than Xu, and the two of them will definitely get satisfactory results. ”

The Qi family brothers naturally understood that after such a fuss just now, it was impossible to talk to Xu Shaoan about business. However, as Xu Shaoan said, if you really want to talk about business and do business, you still have to find the "Qingyuan" brothers like Zhao Yuanwai and Fan Yuanwai to be effective. Therefore, Qi Kunyu said that it was okay on the one hand, and said that after the war in Huainan was over, he would immediately go back to Jiangning Mansion to discuss the matter with his father. After obtaining his father's permission, he would immediately go north to discuss the business with a few employees.

Xu Shaoan was naturally very happy to hear this, and after a few more polite words, he said goodbye.

Seeing off the Qi brothers, Xu Shaoan called the restaurant guys, asked Ming Xin Feiyu about the cost of the meal for the three brothers, paid for them, and then said to Lin Xiaoyu: "Sister, the time for us to come out is not short, let's go back." ”

Although until now, Lin Xiaoyu has not figured out the reason why Xu Shaoan did not pursue Xin Feiyu and others, but for her, these are trivial matters and she has not taken them to heart. In addition, she was also afraid that she would stay outside for a long time, and Queen Fu would be anxious if she couldn't find her. Therefore, after listening to Xu Shao'an's suggestion, he nodded, and walked out of the restaurant with him, heading to Chai Rong's temporary line. ,

Xu and Lin walked out of the restaurant and walked not far along the street, when Xin Feiyu's call came from behind: "Brother Xu, please go slowly." ”

Xu Shaoan stopped when he heard the words and looked back. Seeing that it was only Xin Feiyu who chased after him, he asked, "What else is wrong with Xin Zhuangshi?" ”

Xin Feiyu stared at Xu Shao'an for a moment, and returned the note with the address that Xu Shao'an gave him. His move made Xu Shaoan stunned, and he thought that the other party had made up his mind not to have contact with him again, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious again.

Xin Feiyu obviously saw Xu Shaoan's thoughts, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop Xu Shaoan, who wanted to convince him again, pulled him to a relatively secluded alley, and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry, listen to my brother's words." Don't hide it from Brother Xu, at the beginning, my brother was really wary of you, Big Brother. Especially after the brother was quick to talk for a while, and said that he had leaked the knowledge of black powder, he regarded your kindness as a conspiracy to arrest the brother and go back to receive the reward, and the brother even had the intention of killing people at that time.

However, after the patrol of the streets pointed out your true identity, my brother knew that you, like my brother, had come here from other places for very accidental and very peculiar reasons. At the same time, I also realized that I had thought wrong before, and it was a big mistake. Big brother, you want to take your brother back to the camp, not to ask for merit and reward, but to really help your brother and provide him with a broad road. The reason why my brother came to chase you is that I want to make a statement to you, from now on, you are my eldest brother, and my brother is determined to follow you. ”

Although Xu Shaoan was very happy that Xin Feiyu was willing to follow him back to the camp, he still didn't dare to easily agree to Xin Feiyu's request that he would recognize him as his eldest brother and follow him with all his heart. On the one hand, he Xu Shaoan ranks eighth among the "Qingyuan" brothers, if he becomes Xin Feiyu's eldest brother, how should the seven brothers in front of him be counted. On the other hand, according to the team's "Guidelines for Suspected Traverser Contact", he did not have the authority to accept Xin Feiyu into the team without the authorization of the committee, bypassing the Internal Affairs Section of the Ministry of Intelligence. Therefore, he hurriedly waved his hand to Xin Feiyu, ready to explain the rules to the other party.

But before Xu Shaoan could speak, Lin Xiaoyu next to him had already preemptively said to Xin Feiyu: "Don't worry about recognizing the eldest brother first, because the starling brother doesn't have this qualification, and the second doesn't have the power." As the saying goes, 'the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules', if you really want to take refuge, you should obediently follow him back to the Zhou army camp first, and wait patiently. As for weishenme, you don't need to ask. Moreover, even if you ask, the starling won't tell you. ”

Xin Feiyu was a little dizzy by Lin Xiaoyu's words, and he couldn't understand the reason. He looked at Xu Shaoan with puzzled eyes, hoping that the other party could give him an answer. To his surprise, Xu Shaoan shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Feiyu, Sister Xiaoyu's words are not bad at all. For a period of time in the future, I am afraid that you can really only follow my brother first, as for whether my brother and I can recognize you as a brother, my brother can only provide reference opinions, and the final conclusion will be made by specialized personnel. As for the weishenme, you don't ask. However, my brother can assure you here that this process is not specific to you, and that he will definitely do his best to help you through. ”

Xu Shaoan's words not only did not solve the doubts in Xin Feiyu's heart, but made him even more dizzy. However, Xin Feiyu is a smart person after all. He carefully recalled what the other party and the Lin girl had said since he met Xu Shao'an, especially from the fact that Lin Xiaoyu called Xu Shao'an a starling, and Xu Shaoan suggested that the two businessmen who drank with him go to the north to talk to his brother about the glass business, he vaguely guessed the reason why Xu and Lin said what they just said.

Although this is just a guess, although Xin Feiyu turned his brain a lot in order to get this conclusion, this guess made his determination to work with Xu Shaoan firmer. Therefore, he immediately hugged his fist at Xu Shaoan and said: "Although the brother doesn't quite understand that the eldest brother weishenme wants to make simple things so complicated, but since the eldest brother said so, the brother will naturally do it." No matter what the result of Zuihou is, the brothers will not have any complaints about the eldest brother. ”

Seeing that Xin Feiyu was so reasonable, Xu Shaoan felt very relieved, he patted Xin Feiyu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Feiyu is really a cheerful person, I like this character." Let's go back to the camp first, and we'll talk about other things later. ”
