The friendship of wine seems to be light but not light; Speaking from the heart, it seems to be affectionate and not emotional.

Even if some people are very well disguised, there are always a lot of suspicions in their hearts with a line and a word.

Liu Yucheng himself didn't know, but the old man Murong and Xiao Di, who were outsiders, could see it clearly.

The crossbow man also knows something in his heart, but because of Brother Xiao's face, he naturally will not abandon his brotherhood.

He thinks that he is not a gentleman, or the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water all over the street, and of course he is not a villain who is eager for utilitarianism, and those who see the wind and steer the rudder and conspiracies really don't need to take action.

In this way, the conversation between the two has become an unnecessary move.

In the end, in fact, the two of them didn't have much to talk about.

Then everything is in order.

When Luke was out of Bazhou, he once said that he would wait for him in Luohe City for a day.

So far, of course, only the crossbowman knows about it.

Therefore, when Brother Xiao came in a hurry from nowhere the next day, he thought that the three of them had already left Luohe City, but he didn't want to worry too much.

Yuhu Loutai is not only the so-called Luohe City Green Building, but also an inn for staying in the hotel.

The three crossbowmen were eating in the living room on the first floor.

Brother Xiao asked the little brother who was running errands in the building, only to know that the three of them were still there, and he was immediately relieved.

Pretending to pass by, he sat next to the three of them and said with a smile: "Why are the three of them so familiar, I don't know where they met before?"

The three crossbowmen ignored it.

Old man Murong took a bite of fish, "You said that you have eaten fish and shrimp in the Luo River on weekdays, but the taste is very different from that in this inn, isn't it produced in the same river?" ”

Old man Murong said and put the fish meat in his mouth, chewing it slowly, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Xiao Di accosted on the side, "I'm afraid that my brother's cooking skills are not good, so why do you blame the fish and shrimp in the river." ”

Old man Murong squinted his eyes and smiled, "Eat silently, eat silent..."

Then the two of them did not follow up.

The crossbowman glanced at Brother Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.

Brother Xiao felt something, picked up a pair of chopsticks, snatched the last piece of fish meat on the fish bone from the hands of the old man Murong and Xiao Di, sniffed it on his nose, and said with a satisfied face: "What did my brother talk about with that stinky boy last night?" ”

After finishing speaking, Brother Xiao put the fish meat in his mouth, and suddenly his face turned red instantly, and he spit it out, "Damn, who deliberately put so much spicy in the sky, it's spicy to death." ”

Old man Murong and Xiao Di looked as usual, eating other dishes.

Brother Xiao picked up a wine glass on the table and was about to pour it into his mouth.

The crossbowman opened his mouth, "Big..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that Brother Xiao had drunk all the things in that cup, his face changed again, from red to blue, and the things in his mouth spurted wildly, and he scolded: "Vinegar is also drunk as wine... You've got your brains squeezed by the door... Hiss... Hah..."

Old man Murong and Xiao Di finally couldn't help it and laughed.

The crossbowman wanted to remind him, but when he saw Brother Xiao's appearance, he had to hold back his laughter. After asking the little brother in the store to give him a big bowl of water, he watched Brother Xiao bury his head in the bowl and bubble.

The crossbowman remembered what Brother Xiao had asked just now, and said, "Big brother, I'm afraid that last night's game was not saved by you." ”

Brother Xiao stretched out his neck and spat out a big mouthful of water, "If I really made it, can you believe it?" ”

The crossbowman nodded slightly, "What the hell is that person, who can really make you go through such a lot of trouble?" ”

Brother Xiao buried his head in the bowl again, and said with a gurgling voice: "It is indeed my grandfather's grandson-in-law, as for the identity behind it, how can Lao Tzu know so clearly, he claims to be a powerful person in the capital behind him, it is you, you will ask clearly, there is only one life for the eldest brother." ”

The crossbow man no longer dwells too much on Liu Yucheng's true identity, in fact, he already has some eyebrows in his heart.

He is not really stupid, if it is a person sent by the capital, Yuluobai should not be like this, then it can only be some people who already know their true identity, as for why these people are like this, he doesn't want to think about it for the time being.

The crossbow man turned to ask, "Big brother left in a hurry with that little woman the night before, I don't know what they did?" ”

When Brother Xiao heard this, his neck stretched out, and a mouthful of water was completely sprayed on the crossbowman's face, he smiled awkwardly, and said: "Of course it's a snowy night, and you're happy, these tell you, you don't know, you just think that the eldest brother has hooked the soul and gone astray." ”

The crossbowman was speechless, wiped his face with his sleeve, and looked out the door, "Swordsman Lu doesn't know when he will be able to arrive in Luohe City?" ”

Brother Xiao spat a few mouthfuls of foaming stars, and touched the swollen large intestine, and the hot feeling was half gone.

He looked at the two people who were playing tricks on the side, just like that, too lazy to theorize anything.

Then he looked at the door with the crossbowman, and muttered: "It turned out that I was waiting for Brother Lu, I don't know if the little lady from his family has followed." ”

After a few people have eaten.

Get ready to walk around Luohe City.

Brother Xiao reversed his previous attitude and took the initiative to be a guide.

At first, the three of them were happy to follow behind and see the customs of Luohe City.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually brought the three of them into a gambling house.

The gambling house is called Drain Water House, which is located at the end of the main street in Luohe City.

Does Brother Xiao not know that this is a gambling house, or is he prepared at all.

As soon as he entered the gambling house, he put the three of them aside, and he started working in full swing.

After looking around, the three of them felt that they had no interest in gambling, so they thought about leaving first.

But the old man Murong said that he had eaten too much in the morning, and he wanted to make it convenient to be here, so let the two of them go first, and he would arrive later.

Skeptical, the crossbowman and Xiaodi plan to go to the ferry outside the city to try to meet Luke, who has just arrived in time.

Until the two of them got on the passenger boat at the ferry, they didn't see the figure of the old man.

on passenger ships.

The crossbow man and Xiao Di sat at a small table at the stern of the boat, drinking tea from Xiao Er and eating some pastries.

Xiao Di looked at the calm Taoist, took off the bamboo flute on his waist, spun it in his hand, and said with a smile: "The son of the crossbow, the crossbow brother, now you and I have some questions in my heart, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The crossbowman stopped the teacup in his hand, was shocked, looked directly at him, and said, "Who is the son of the crossbow?" ”

Xiao Di smiled playfully, the bamboo flute in his hand was returned to his waist, stood up, and was about to leave.

"Xiaodao doesn't know where Brother Xiaodi knew my true identity, there are some things I don't want to explain, and I ask Brother Xiaodi not to be strong." The crossbow man looked at the one-armed knight on his back, took a sip of tea and said.

Xiao Di turned around, sat back opposite the crossbowman, gave himself a cup of tea, shook it in his hand, looked at Xiao Dao's still calm face, and said: "If you don't say it, the Xiao Di will no longer ask, but I think you should know that some things seem simple, like drinking tea at this moment, but in fact there are hidden mysteries, some things are difficult to do, such as the drop of water stone wearing, but there is always a chance." ”

The crossbowman nodded, his face filled with hesitation, and finally asked, "Brother Xiaodi, what are you doing with Xiaodao?" ”

Xiao Di drank all the tea in the cup, "I am entrusted by others to protect you." ”

The crossbowman was puzzled and poured half a cup of tea for the one-armed knight in front of him.

"Whether you believe it or not, whether you want to ask or not, Xiao Di can only say so much." Xiao Di looked at the Taoist who suddenly poured tea for himself, and said seriously.

The words that the crossbow man wanted to say were completely held back, he really couldn't understand in his heart, he was all in the rivers and lakes, wandering the world, as long as he didn't cause trouble, how could there be any danger, the credibility of this flute's words was really very little.

But he looked at Xiao Di with a serious look, it didn't seem like a lie, and he believed that this time, at most, he would be sold, and he had this good feeling before.

The two of them were drinking tea at the stern of the boat, the breeze on the river, the smoke and greenery everywhere, it was hard to imagine that this was the scenery that should be in winter.

I only sigh that the world is big, and there are no wonders.

The passenger boat drove slowly on the river, and there was a faint noise of fighting in the bow, and a table, chair and bench were lifted into the river, and a figure was rushing towards the stern.

The crossbowman looked back.

I saw that a girl in a red dress who had most of her clothes torn off was chasing a rich young man with an evil smile on her face.

The girl looked helplessly at the people around her, but no one around dared to step forward to stop her.

When the girl in the red dress retreated to the stern of the boat, there was no way back.

The rich young man approached, and said wildly: "Little lady, you are running, it is better to follow the young master and me, and enjoy endless glory and wealth." ”

The girl saw that there was no way to retreat, and when she turned around and saw the two people drinking tea on the side, she begged, "Two strong men, please help the little girl." ”

The crossbowman had already noticed the girl in the red dress before, because this person seemed to have seen it in his memory, so he thought about seeing it clearly before making a choice.

At this moment, seeing her asking for help from herself, a person suddenly appeared in her heart, and she wanted to step forward to stop her.

The bamboo flute on Xiao Di's waist suddenly became longer, blocking the crossbowman.

"Brother crossbow, it's better to wait and see what happens." Xiao Di said.

The crossbowman pushed away the bamboo flute that was blocking his waist, gave Xiao Di a look, and walked in front of the girl.

When the rich young man saw that someone dared to step forward to stop him, he cursed: "Where did the little calf nose come from, and he dared to compete with the young master for the lady, and he was impatient." ”

The crossbow man ignored the dog barking of the rich young man, looked at the hole in the red dress girl's shirt, took off the robe on her body and handed it over, and said, "Are you Jin Gui, or Piaoxiang?" ”

The girl in the red dress seemed to have been stimulated by something, and her helpless little face suddenly burst into tears with excitement.

Her red lips moved slightly, looking at the path in front of her, unable to say a word.

The crossbow man had already confirmed the girl's identity in his heart, and said to her softly: "Sister, you are tired. ”

The rich young man behind him couldn't stand it for a long time, not only did someone rob him of a woman, but he was also infatuated and ignored, where did so many accidents come from in the world.

He shouted: "Your uncle, what did you think of Young Master Ben, you guys copied the guy for me, and killed this calf's nose, and there was a heavy reward." ”

Immediately, a few men who looked like families around the rich young man responded and were about to pounce on the path with tables and chairs.

The crossbowman looked back, and a table greeted him.

But before the table fell on his head, it shattered into the air, and the men in front of him screamed on the spot, and were thrown into the river one by one.

A slender bamboo flute fell to the center of the rich young man's eyebrows, he hurriedly retreated, he had already changed his appearance, his crotch was wet, he knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy in his mouth: "I don't know if the small one is offended by the fairy master, and please have a large number of adults, let go of the small ones." ”

The crossbowman didn't look at the rich young man who was paralyzed on the ground, and helped the girl in the red dress to sit beside him.

Xiao Di poured two cups of tea and said, "To kill or not to kill?" ”

The crossbowman replied, "Throw it in the river to feed the fish." ”

There was the sound of a rich young man falling into the water in the river, and he didn't even hear the screams, so he should have fainted in fright...

The girl in the red dress is the fragrance of the two personal maids of the crossbowman and A-Niang.

Seeing this son, who he hadn't seen for more than ten years, and experiencing such a thing again, he didn't dare to take the teacup handed over by the crossbowman, so he knelt on the ground, and choked up without raising his head: "Childe, the fragrance is useless, you can't save the lady and the general, but it has become a burden, please punish the son." ”

The teacup in the crossbowman's hand trembled, helped her up, and said, "It's my crossbow family who is sorry for you, the past, since it's over, then forget it." ”

Piaoxiang was a little in a trance, looked at Xiaodao's helplessness, and said sadly: "Didn't Childe think about revenge, didn't he want to know who murdered the general and his wife?" ”

The crossbowman sat on the small stool, looked at the water of the Luohe River, and said slowly: "As a Taoist, I have seen a lot and understood a lot, and there are some things that I don't want to mention." ”

A trace of surprise appeared on Piaoxiang's face, and she said coldly: "The son is no longer the son of the past, so how can Piaoxiang be the previous Piaoxiang, and the little girl will have nothing to do with your crossbow family from now on, and those kindnesses can only be repaid in the next life." ”

After Piaoxiang finished speaking, the boat also leaned to the shore, she put the Taoist robe she was wearing on the table in front of Xiaodao, and walked to the shore, without looking back, no one cared about the spring light she revealed, only felt that the back of the weak woman was so desolate.

The crossbow man took a sip of cold tea, shivered, and did not look at the girl in the red dress when she turned away.

Xiao Di didn't speak, and when the girl disappeared completely, she asked, "Are you really so downset?" ”

Seeing that the crossbowman didn't reply, he continued: "Still guessed something?" ”

The crossbowman smiled bitterly, poured the remaining tea in the cup into the river, and said, "Brother Xiaodi, can you play a tune to listen to." ”

Xiao Di was dumbfounded and didn't ask any more.
