The fight between Xu Laoba and Wang Zhutou was far less exciting than Xu Laoliu. Wang Zhutou was bent on catching Xu Laoba, so he didn't care about any moves and face, and after being knocked down by Xu Laoba, he saw that he was about to escape, so he simply stretched out his hands and grabbed his feet and neck. Xu Laoba stretched a bound leg like a blind donkey, and he couldn't run at all, so he turned around and faced the sky, kicking and kicking like a shrimp thrown into a hot oil pot, fluttering non-stop. Wang Zhutou took advantage of Xu Laoba's foot force to recover, and the whole person rushed forward and hugged his waist. The two of them rolled and tore in the mud, like two shrews fighting, and they almost pulled their hair and spit. When the brothers who followed him restrained Xu Laoba, Wang Zhutou got up from the ground, and Xu Laoba's stinky cloth shoes kicked out several black shoe prints on his face, and he felt pain for a while.

"You fuck. Wang Zhutou looked at Xu Laoba, who was tied up and couldn't move, and he didn't get angry, and stretched out his leg to hit his stomach and kicked him, Xu Laoba snorted.

"You fuck you. Wei Zhu, who had just come down, was chasing Xu Lao Liu in the teahouse and lost his hand, feeling depressed, and he also followed the example of Wang Zhutou and kicked him, and then beckoned to the brothers on the side and said, "Take it back and bring it back!"

Xu Laoba was escorted back to the yamen by everyone, Wang Zhutou hurriedly washed his face, and didn't bother to change into his muddy clothes, and ordered the brothers to lock Xu Laoba directly into the torture room. This torture room is not the same as the place outside, it is a specially arranged basement, the roof of the basement is nailed to the left and right sides of the two thick iron nails, the exposed end of the iron nail is made into a ring, the iron chain used to bind the prisoner passes through the inside, and when it is pulled, it makes a loud noise, and it sounds terrifying. The right side of the basement is full of torture instruments used for torture, some of which have never been seen, let alone can be called by name, it can be seen that after this toss, Wang Zhutou is thinking of getting Xu Laoba to death.

Wang Zhutou's subordinates tied Xu Laoba's hands to the chain, like a bird with wings spread and flying high, but Xu Laoba's mood was definitely not flying high at the moment. When he entered here, he understood that this time he had planted a big heel, and it was estimated that if he could get out, he would have half his life left. Don't look at him as brave and ruthless on weekdays, he squeezes people to death when he speaks, but when he really encounters something, he is the first to coax him. As soon as the king had just asked people to put the brazier on the rack and add firewood to it, before the fire primer was stuffed in, Xu Laoba began to call.

"Official, official, don't hit me, I'll tell you what you want to know......"

Wang Zhutou didn't speak, nor did he look at Xu Laoba, turned around and walked aside, picked through the pile of torture instruments, and selected a dark leather whip, and the whip rope was full of leather barbs the length of an adult's knuckle.

"Official...... Official. Xu Laoba was so frightened that his legs began to tremble.

"I'm not allowed to say it now, not a word, we'll talk tomorrow. If you put what you need to say today," Wang Zhutou took the leather whip in his hand, walked in front of Xu Laoba and pressed the leather whip handle against Xu Laoba's chest, "Hehe, if you say one word today, I will kill you, and if you say one less word tomorrow, I will kill you." ”

Wang Zhutou turned around and handed the leather whip to his subordinates on the side and said, "Knock him unconscious first, I don't want to listen to his nonsense today." Tell the brothers outside that you must bring the dwarf back to me. After saying that, he walked out of the torture room and went home to change his clothes.

Since Gongsun Guangxiao and Mr. Zhou euphemistically mentioned Zhou Xue's family affairs, Mr. Zhou also asked Zhou Xue again in a corner. Zhou Xue fully understood what her father meant, but out of the shyness of a girl, she squirmed and didn't answer, and deliberately pretended to be angry and blamed Mr. Zhou for not wanting to raise her. Mr. Zhou had no choice but to laugh dryly and end the topic hastily. When Mr. Zhou went to pay condolences to the old lady Gongsun Yu, Zhou Xue pestered but wanted to go together. The young man's thoughts can be understood at a glance, and Mr. Zhou is also willing to take Zhou Xue to Gongsun's house again.

Because of the death of the old lady, the Gongsun family fell into a hectic situation, the guests who came and went, the subordinates who worked, the sad relatives, as well as the monks who chanted the scriptures and the businessmen who specialized in organizing white affairs, at first glance it looked like a courtyard where people lived on weekdays, and it was completely a market. Zhou Xue finished condolences to the old lady, and did not find Gongsun Shengyan among the filial sons and filial grandsons, so he walked to Gongsun Shengyan's courtyard unceremoniously.

"Sister Xue......" Gongsun Shengqiu saw Zhou Xue and took the initiative to come forward to say hello.

"Brother Katsugaoka is good. Zhou Xue replied politely, and her feet did not stop.

"Sister Xue, where are you going in such a hurry?" Gongsun Shengqiu deliberately accosted and asked as he walked behind Zhou Xue.

"If you don't go anywhere, you won't have to worry about it. Zhou Xue was so annoyed that Gongsun Shengqiu took a bite of Sister Xue, and listened to a lot of goosebumps on her body.

Gongsun Shengqiu's hot face was pasted with a cold buttocks, so he had to stop and look at Zhou Xue's back, his face was blue and white for a while, he could see that Zhou Xue was walking towards Gongsun Shengyan's residence, and after a little thought, he simply followed while Zhou Xue was not paying attention.

"Brother Katsuiwa. Zhou Xue walked to the place, stood outside the door and knocked softly.

Gongsun Shengyan was resting on the bed, there were many people these days, and he didn't even take off his clothes when he slept, so he turned over and sat down, and responded: "Xue'er, come in." ”

Zhou Xue pushed the door in, turned around and gently closed the door, she didn't need any precautions against Gongsun Shengyan.

"Everyone else is busy outside, so it's not ashamed that you're lying in bed and lazy to sleep. Zhou Xue didn't know why, she originally wanted to ask him about the marriage between the two families, but as soon as she entered the door, it turned into bullying words again.

"I'm tired. Gongsun Shengyan smiled embarrassedly.

Zhou Xue walked to the table, pulled a stool for herself and sat down, thinking about how to mention this matter, neither left nor right, and after a while, she made herself blush.

"What's wrong with you, is there something wrong?" Gongsun Shengyan didn't notice the change in Zhou Xue, but after seeing her come in and say a word, he began to sit aside and play with his fingers, which was strange.

"Can't you come if you're fine?" Zhou Xue began to be petty.

"Anyone who can come and can come is always welcome. ”

"I ...... My dad ...... My father, he wants to marry me into your grandson's family. Zhou Xue mustered up the courage to tell the story.

"Ah, that's a good thing. What a good thing. Gongsun Shengyan happily walked over, pulled out a stool and sat next to Zhou Xue, "Then who do you want to marry?"

"I don't even know who I'm going to marry, and you still say it's a great thing?" Zhou Xue tempered and pointed to Gongsun Shengyan's nose and asked.

"This ......" Gongsun Shengyan was robbed of a blank call, and he didn't know how to answer.

"What if my father marries me to Gongsun Shenghua? I have seen him a few times when he knows how to play with birds and is frivolous with those young women. ”

"No, don't you women of the Zhou family always marry whoever you want?"

"Then I want to marry your father, can I be your little mother?" Zhou Xue saw that Gongsun Shengyan did not take the initiative to give the answer he wanted, and began to play with his temper.

"This ...... This ...... "Gongsun Shengyan is about to sweat down."

"You think you can marry whoever you want, but my father has to agree. Zhou Xue felt that what she had just said was indeed excessive, so she went back to find the conversation.

"Then who do you want to marry?" Gongsun Shengyan looked at Zhou Xue's eyes and asked seriously.

"Who I want to marry, you don't know?"

“......”

"You really don't know?" Zhou Xue's tone softened, her tone became mournful, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

Gongsun Shengyan just looked at Zhou Xue like this, this was a face he had been familiar with since he was a child. The white skin, the black eyes as dark and agile as Go, the fanning nose like the tip of the nose of a newborn puppy, pink and tender, and the shell-like white teeth occasionally peeking out from between the red lips, make people think of the catkins flying in spring, the white clouds fluttering in summer, the tight cotton in autumn, and the endless snow all over the mountains and fields in winter. He pulled Zhou Xue into his arms, stretched out his two arms and tightly clasped Zhou Xue's weak body, and the two young hearts were clinging to each other, hitting each other like panicked deer.

"I know, I know it all. Gongsun Shengyan buried his face in Zhou Xue's thick black hair and muttered in her ear.

Zhou Xue didn't make any struggle, and fell softly into his arms, like a gummy that was about to melt in his mouth.

Gongsun Shengqiu, who was outside the window, listened to the conversation between the two and quietly slipped away.

In the gourd cave outside the city, two golden-masked people walked out of the cave, and the disciple who was in charge of standing guard outside the cave saw the two people who came out, and bowed down deeply respectfully. The two golden masks had long been accustomed to all this, completely treating each other as if they were not there, and continued to walk forward without squinting.

"After the sect leader has passed the cultivation level this time, he feels that his body is a little worse than last time. One of the golden masks opened his mouth to speak when he saw that they were some distance away from the entrance of the cave.

"I felt it the day after the sect leader came out, and his aura was obviously not as strong as before. Another answer.

"What kind of book is the Knocking Xuan Sutra, and how can you cultivate to get lower and lower the more you practice?"

"It's just a fragment in the sect leader's hand, and you and I don't have a chance to see it, so what's going on, but the more you practice, the lower you go, in my opinion, it's a good thing. Hahahaha. ”

"The Knocking Sutra is just a mystery that has been circulating for many years, whether it can be solved or not, and what it will be like after it is solved, you and I don't care. You and I don't have the lofty ambitions of the sect master, just wait for him to fall, hahaha......" The other laughed loudly, and the laughter startled the birds in the forest to flee in all directions.
