The topography of Liaozhou is half of the mountains and half of the plains, the plains are full of markets, and the mountainous areas are full of mineral deposits.

The state city is located in the plain area, which is close to Kuozhou, and the two state cities are connected to each other, becoming a prosperous area. In this way, it is in stark contrast to the desolation and barrenness of the mountainous areas, so that outsiders who do not know the truth think that the cities of Liaozhou and Kuozhou belong to the same state, and that the mountainous areas belong to other states.

Han Zecan's Chengjun palace was built in Kuozhou City, but there is also his mansion in Liaozhou City, which is also called the palace by the local people, but there is no official plaque.

Because the two states belonged to Han Zecan's fiefdom, he also had a lot of power in Liaozhou City.

The prefect of Liaozhou had long complained about Han Zecan's interference in government affairs and oppression of the imperial court officials, and after the recovery of Kuozhou, he took the initiative to surrender to the imperial court.

Although the prefect of Liaozhou took the initiative to surrender, he only sacrificed the state city and brought more than 1,000 troops to defend the city to take refuge, and the other armies and the three counties in the mountainous area were still under Han Zecan's control.

Hu Yonggang saw that the city of Liaozhou was not big, so he originally sent Zheng Huiliao to deal with various affairs. Later, it was learned that Han Zecan's forces secretly staying in the city had repeatedly caused trouble, and Han Zecan was also preparing to make a comeback after retreating to the black mine, so Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian and Zheng Huiliao switched defensive positions.

After arriving in the city, Cheng Haofeng led people to strengthen the city wall, and Hu Xianxian visited the people to find out the forces related to Han Zecan.

On April 26, Hu Xianxian was about to return to the camp after a day of inspection, when he suddenly heard someone calling when he passed by the City God Temple.

"Fairy Gu, Fairy Gu...... Hmm, that second girl of the Hu family......"

Hearing the first two sounds, Hu Xianxian ignored it, maybe she was calling who, and the next sentence was probably calling her, she turned around.

"Eh, I didn't expect to meet you...... The second girl is getting more and more smart. ”

The person who came said it very familiarly, but Hu Xianxian couldn't remember who he was for a while. This man was in his fifties, white and fat, and wore a brown and yellow silk shirt. Seeing that he is full of red face, he should be quite moist.

Seeing Hu Xianxian looking at himself suspiciously, the man reported to himself: "It's really a noble person who forgets things, don't you remember me?" I'm Weng Jiashou, speaking of which, you should still call me 'uncle'. ”

"Oh...... Uncle Weng. Hu Xianxian smiled dryly, "The older you get, the younger you get, if you don't say it yourself, I really won't recognize it." ”

Weng Jiashou raised his head and smiled: "I also feel that I am getting younger and younger." But it's all thanks to you. My inn is not far ahead, come and sit with me. ”

Hu Xianxian wanted to resign, but Weng Jiashou was too enthusiastic to refuse, so he had to go with him.

After sitting down in the small hall upstairs, Weng Jiashou poured fragrant tea for her with his own hands, and then slowly talked about the aftermath.

Weng Jiashou didn't wait for Hu Xianxian in the Gu Mansion, and he didn't know what happened to her, so he kept waiting.

Later, an old leper man told him that Hu Xianxian had gone somewhere else, so he returned to Liaozhou with the silver ticket he got from Gu's family.

Weng Jiashou used the money to start a small business, selling oil and sauce. Because before his family was defeated, he was originally in charge of these, and he was able to speak well and have a flexible mind, and he quickly made a fortune.

After making a fortune, he donated money to rebuild the City God Temple, and often helped the beggars who mixed together in the past. Today, I went to the City God Temple to donate money, and I happened to meet Hu Xianxian.

"Why did you think of opening an inn again?"

After listening to this, Hu Xianxian asked casually.

"I bought this inn to avenge your father and wash my own business."

Hearing Weng Jiashou say this, and seeing that his expression was still very serious, Hu Xianxian was confused.

"This Bora Inn used to be called Homecoming Inn, which means 'home away'. But your father's money was gone, and he was sick again, and the shopkeeper not only helped, but also kicked your father out, how can there be a little sincerity of 'being at home'? ”

Weng Jiashou said with great righteousness, and the corners of Hu Xianxian's mouth floated with a mocking chuckle. If the shopkeeper hadn't driven out his father back then, maybe his father wouldn't have been taken captive to the black mine and suffered, but the root cause was Weng Jiashou's abduction of his brother.

He didn't understand her smile, and was still talking about how he helped Hu Dacang "take revenge". The innkeeper's son died young, and his daughter-in-law was born handsome, and many people came to ask the little widow to remarry, but the innkeeper and his wife refused to let her go.

Weng Jiashou also fell in love with the little widow, and was willing to pay for the inn, and then slowly found a way to marry the owner's daughter-in-law.

Who knew that the shopkeeper refused to sell the inn, and Weng Jiashou made people make trouble every day. Most of the thugs in the city were already familiar with Weng Jiashou, and after Weng Jiashou became rich, he often gave them some small favors, so the shopkeeper couldn't do business.

Weng Jiashou took advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper and his wife were sad and sick, and forced them to sell the inn and move out of the city to live. forced them to incur debts, so they could only marry their widowed daughter-in-law to Weng Jiashou.

"Now this inn is called 'Bora Inn', it is really a treasure and a prosperous business!"

After Weng Jiashou said this, he asked Hu Xianxian mysteriously: "Do you want to meet your little sister-in-law?" is no worse than you in terms of appearance and figure, and it is really in vain that I took so much effort to marry her. ”

Hu Xianxian wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Weng Jiashou had already sent the little maid to call Mrs., so he had to wait a little longer.

Hearing the soft sound of the bead curtain, a woman slowly walked into the house. The woman was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a lake blue dress, with a beautiful face and a slender figure, but with a sad expression.

Weng Jiashou introduced the two, and they nodded to each other.

"Ya'er, my niece is a great person, the emperor's 'Fuhui Heavenly Concubine'. Her brother is a general, and he is very close to me. Don't be sad all day long, marry me and you've found a treasure......"

Weng Jiashou chattered endlessly, and the woman didn't look at her squarely, pulled the two or three-year-old girl next to her and hugged her in her arms, bowing her head and thinking about her thoughts.

Seeing such a scene, Hu Xianxian could see that this woman was unwilling to marry Weng Jiashou, and she sighed in her heart, who can tell the things in the world? If it was true that the shopkeeper was mean and deserved retribution, he shouldn't have caused his daughter-in-law to be widowed and remarried to a vulgar old scoundrel, right?

Hu Xianxian saw that the little girl was quite cute, so she took out a pair of silver bracelets from her sleeve and handed it to her with a smile: "Little sister, come, put it on." ”

The little girl looked at Weng Jiashou timidly, Weng Jiashou urged her to thank her quickly, and after she took it, she said in a low voice: "Thank you, big sister." ”

"This little girl is afraid of life, and she has no interest, alas, it would be nice to have another tiger-headed kid." Weng Jiashou glanced at his daughter with some disgust.

"Is my daughter bad? Of course, it would be better to have another son. Hu Xianxian looked at Weng's wife and said, "The little aunt loves the child very much, right?" No matter how unsatisfactory life is, for the sake of the children, you must live with peace of mind. ”

"If it weren't for the sake of the children, I really wouldn't be able to live this life. Alas......" Weng's wife sighed and stroked her daughter's head lovingly.

A few people gossiped again, and Hu Xianxian excused himself to leave under the pretext that there were still important things in the army.

She walked slowly all the way, sighing all the way, nine times out of ten things in this world are really unsatisfactory. People in special positions think that ordinary people can be plain and happy, but ordinary people think that powerful people can be smooth and prosperous—in fact, it is difficult to be satisfied.

From the Baolai Inn to the military camp set up by the state government, there was a secluded alley, and Hu Xianxian was depressed, so he slowly relaxed.

As soon as she entered the alley, she saw someone with his back to her, and the horizontal sword blocked the way.

The evening breeze came slowly, and under the light moonlight, I saw the back of the green silk slightly, the blue robe fluttering, and the cold light of the sword.

She was not afraid of such a scene, and stepped forward with a smile and hugged the man from behind.

"I drove this road, if I want to cross it from here, I will leave the money to buy the road...... Forehead? This king only wants to rob money and doesn't want to rob sex, so why does he take the initiative to give him a hug? ”

Hu Xianxian ignored him and said something nonsense, just giggling and laughing. Although she only saw the back, she already knew that he was Cheng Haofeng.

When she had laughed enough, he put away his sword and turned to embrace her. His eyes were gentle, but his tone was reproachful, and he said, "The soldiers who went with you have been back to the camp for an hour, why are you still walking slowly?" If I hadn't followed the breath to find you, wouldn't you be going back? ”

"I met Weng Jiashou and went to him to chat some gossip. I feel uncomfortable and want to walk alone......" Hu Xianxian then briefly told Cheng Haofeng about Weng Jiashou's situation.

"When I see him in the future, I will warn him not to do anything wrong, let alone do anything wrong under your banner."

Cheng Haofeng took her hand and walked slowly, looking at the sparse lights under the crescent moon, the silence of the city was not interesting, and said with a smile: "We haven't walked hand in hand for a long time, and we just spent a good night together tonight." ”

The two of them enjoyed a rare peace and leisure, but when they walked to the alley, they both had a sudden warning in their hearts, and they felt a murderous aura attacking.

Cheng Haofeng was one step faster than Hu Xianxian to flick open the body protection shield, and held her hand tightly to stare at the broken house on the right side.

As far as his eyes could see, a large canopy of silver needles as many as a cow's hair and as thin as a cow's hair shot in. The silver needle half flashed silver-white cold light, and half flashed dark green glow, which should be quenched with poison on the tip of the needle.

If ordinary people encounter such a situation, even if they have lightning-fast skills, they will not be able to avoid these poisonous needles, but Cheng Haofeng only twisted his wrist lightly and turned into a black shield to block the poisonous needles.

The aura shield was protected by a black shield, and all the poisonous needles were blocked from the ground. Dense poisonous needles fell to the ground, and the stone slabs corroded into gray smoke.

Hu Xianxian shook his head and smacked his tongue, and when he was frightened, he heard the sound of breaking wind from the roof on the left. She didn't have time to think about it, so she summoned the Huixin Jade Sword and stabbed it to the left.

"Flutter tom...... Smack......"

Someone fell on the roof, and then there was a wail, and another shouted.

"Quick, splash, quick...... Broke their magic ......"

Hu Xianxian followed the prestige, and saw a few people on the roof carrying wooden buckets and splashing juice down with scoops. The purple-red liquid in that bucket was extremely fishy, it should be dog blood or something.

Hu Xianxian couldn't turn into a thing, so he could only fly the Huixin Jade Sword and turn out of the wind whirlpool to resist.

Sensing that Hu Xianxian was in other trouble, Cheng Haofeng was ruthless, throwing a black shield at the person who threw the poison needle, then letting go of her hand, and wielding the ink ice sword with all his aura.

Wherever the sword qi passed, those people were cut in two, and even the broken house collapsed.

To resolve the crisis here, Cheng Haofeng swung his sword again and slashed diagonally to the left. The house was instantly reduced to broken bricks and tiles, and screams were incessant in the dust.

When the dust had fallen, and there was no sound under the rubble, they were about to turn away, when a pair of bloody hands trembled out from the rubble.
