Shendu.

There was not a single fire in the dark room, and only a round of moonlight outside the window shone on an old man whose sideburns were half white.

The moonlight is like water, and the dust is flying. The old man's gaze was frozen, just because of a woman kneeling in front of him.

There were only two people in front of them, one was dressed in cloth clothes, and his face was full of hills and ravines, like an old peasant. There is also a woman who is wearing plain clothes and a gauze hat all the time.

The woman's face was not clear, but it was clear from the vague shadow that she was extraordinary.

After a long time, the old man raised his head and groaned slightly.

"What does the young master have for you to bring to me?"

The old peasant stood beside the woman, and at this time he turned around, and faced the many people in the god capital, but he was not at all humble.

"The young master just wants the old slave to ask, is today's Su Zhe the Shangshu Order of the Great Zhou, or the attendant of the Lianghou Mansion?"

More than 30 years ago, the world was in turmoil, and this god changed hands several times. Then Huan Wu coerced the Son of Heaven and sat in the Shendu. Over the past decade, the city has regained its stability and gradually become a bit more prosperous than it once was.

Huan Wu lost the battle at the front, but it did not affect the city.

Su Zhe raised his hand and pointed at the woman in white, "How about Shang Shuling?" What about being a bachelor? ”

"If it is the Shangshu Order of the Great Zhou, then this woman is from the Su Mansion. If it was a scholar in the Liang Hou Mansion, then this woman would have contracted a disease and died here soon after. ”

The old farmer was articulate, which was not at all commensurate with his honest and vicissitudes of life.

"The old man understands!"

Su Zhe let out a long sigh, but fell into silence again.

The house was silent again, and the old peasant had no intention of persecuting him, so he was silent.

After a long time, Su Zhe spoke again.

"After many years of separation, my brother's face has changed vicissitudes, and when I first met, I was almost unrecognizable."

"Before the lord died, he dismissed me and asked me to wait for some peaceful birthdays. Over the years, we have scattered to various parts of the Central Plains, and we have also lived a somewhat easy life. Farming and raising grandchildren, comfortable in the countryside, accompanied by loess all day long, but the face is a little vicissitudes. ”

"That dude is much more comfortable than me. It's just a pity! ”

Su Zhe laughed, making people confused about the meaning.

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you are so old, but why do you still come to this divine capital and wade into this troubled water? Do you know how muddy the water is? ”

Outside the house, there were many footsteps and armor, surrounding the small courtyard.

Su Zhe's face turned cold, and he said, "Yang Xian wants me to do it, I understand." But he underestimated one man. ”

"Who?"

"Huan Wu!" Su Zhe stood up and looked at the old farmer in front of him, "From the moment you entered the Divine Capital, Huan Wu has already noticed your arrival. ”

"You betrayed me!"

The old farmer's face changed, and two black shadows jumped in from the window and protected Su Zhe.

The old peasant no longer hesitated, and pulled the kneeling woman out of the gate, but saw that the courtyard was already full of soldiers from the Lianghou Mansion.

The person at the head is Huan Wu's second son, Huan Qi. He was also accompanied by Huan Wu's general Huan Youji.

Huan Youji saw the old farmer in cloth, but he laughed.

"I heard that you were also the number one person under Yang Ci back then. Come on, we've done it. ”

"Brother Ji, don't mess around."

Huan Qi's posture and demeanor are extraordinary, and he waved his hand at this moment, trying to persuade Huan Youji, but where could he stop him.

"Brother Chi, there are not many opportunities like this!"

Huan Youji threw the old farmer a long knife and immediately put on a posture.

Huan Youji has a bear's waist on his back and a strong body, while the old farmer is thin and looks extremely disproportionate.

However, after the old farmer held the knife, the momentum of the whole person changed. He let go of the hand holding the woman, leaped out of the air, and slashed off with the knife in his head.

The huge force trembled from the long knife in Huan Youji's hand to his arm, his face sank, and he swung the knife to fight back.

Huan Youji fought with the old peasants with a knife. The sword light waved under the moon, and in the small courtyard, only the sound of the knife could be heard.

Huan Youji is Huan Wu's nephew, one of the best figures among the young generation of leaders. The old peasant is unknown, but he can be as good as him in terms of knife skills.

Huan Youji laughed: "Old thing, there are two hits." ”

The old farmer retreated with a blow, holding a knife and sneering: "If I were twenty years younger, I would be worthy of standing in front of me with your kind of goods." ”

"The old thing is old, but his tone is also older."

Although the knife skills are comparable, the old farmer is old after all. He is not a great grandmaster like Yang Chun, even if he is old, he can still have strength.

After a long battle, the big knife in the old farmer's hand gradually became weak, and Huan Youji saw the flaw, and a counterattack, the knife fell down.

Huan Youji stepped out, stepped on the old farmer, and pressed the knife against the old farmer's neck.

Huan Qi took two steps forward and said, "Father has an order, if you are willing to surrender, I can spare your life." ”

The old peasant laughed, and his laughter was full of disdain.

"You want me to return to Huan Wu and dream."

Huan Qi shook his head, a little regretful.

"It's been so many years, and the times have changed a lot. The seven states of the Central Plains have fluttered the banner of Liang Hou, and where is Yang Ci now? General Xu Jin was also a disciple of Yang Chun back then, but he didn't understand the righteousness of the world and submitted to Liang Hou. ”

"Sage Cloud: Although tens of millions of people have gone to me! Su Zhe, you forgot the words of the lord, I didn't. As a man, what is the dog? ”

The last sentence was almost shouted by the old farmer through gritted teeth.

"The saint's ability to make people die is really powerful!"

The cold light in Huan Youji's eyes flickered, he snorted coldly, and cut off the old farmer's head with a knife. The head fell to the ground, stained with mud and dirty, leaving only a pair of bright eyes still open.

"Brother Ji, you're too impulsive."

Huan Qi just wanted to dissuade him, but how could he be as fast as Huan Youji's knife. In the end, I can only say with some pity.

"Brother Chi, you are kind-hearted. The lord is too, like such an old dog, why do you keep it. ”

"Brother Ji, don't talk nonsense."

"Got it, got it." Huan Youji looked at the plain-clothed woman, "Is this the beauty trick Yang Xian used?" I want to see how beautiful this woman is. ”

Huan Youji used a knife to pick open the woman's veil, revealing a beautiful face under the veil. When Huan Qi saw this woman at first glance, his eyes were also wandering, but he quickly stabilized his mind and his eyes became clear.

"Yang Xian's vision seems to be pretty good! This woman is truly stunning. Brother Chi, why don't you tell the lord, just let her follow me! ”

"My father has already made it clear that those who dare to disturb the hearts of the army with their beauty will be killed."

Huan Youji smashed his mouth, a little reluctant, and then a knife ended the woman's life.

"What a pity!"

Su Zhe sat in the room from beginning to end. When the courtyard was calm, he took a deep breath and walked outside.

"Master Su! Brother Ji messed around, disturbed your cleanliness, and soiled your yard, and Chi apologized to him here. ”

Huan Qi bowed very politely, and Huan Youji, who was a little embarrassed just now, also bowed.

"It's the old man in the end, but he doesn't know the righteousness, and now he ends up in a different place. I can't bear it, can the second son bury him? ”

"Master Su is benevolent, and he should obey it."

The soldiers of the Liang Mansion cleaned up the courtyard, and Huan Qi accompanied Su Zhe's side, extremely respectful.

"Uncle, what's going on here?"

With a crisp voice, Huan Qi turned around and saw a girl running slowly. His expression was even more dazed than when he saw the plain-clothed woman just now, and he even couldn't control his emotions.

It wasn't until the girl approached that Huan Qi relieved herself.

"Master Su, who is this?"

"This is my niece and granddaughter. Her mother died a few days ago, and the family had no support, and she just came to join me from the countryside of Jizhou. The people in the countryside don't understand etiquette and collide with the second son. ”

Su Zhe looked at Huan Qi, whose eyes were a little scattered, and left a slight smile on his face.
