Chapter 8 Robbery

The county seat of Rouge County is close to Qingshan County, Xu Fengnian, the lord of the lower county, did not visit Taishou Hongshan Mountain, this time he rushed to the county seat, there is still another plan, and now he doesn't even have a groom by his side, Xu Yanbing went to Hulukou in Youzhou, overkill, and served as one of the eight captains of the Beiliang Border Pass, mainly to deter the big people in the border army who have a relationship with the Youzhou generals, Xu Yanbing is among the fifteen people in the new martial arts review, this alone can make people jealous, not to mention that he was Xu Xiao's henchman, in the Spring and Autumn Period, as the master of the people, it is very common to give surnames to his henchmen, especially those who are born recklessly, but there are only a handful on Xu Xiao's side, Liu Yanbing was one of them. It is said that once the son of heaven was a courtier, Xu Yanbing was relied on by the king of Beiliang as a confidant in the two dynasties of Beiliang, in the eyes of outsiders, even Yan Wenluan, the commander of the infantry army, should sell this Xu Xiaowei a little face. For example, if the sixth new Liang King is said to be two thousand horsemen for one person, who else is needed to escort him? When Xu Fengnian led the horse into the city, he used Xu Qi's household, and there was a recorded official body, which was unimpeded, when Xu Fengnian entered the county town, he saw many young men and women in brocade clothes, and they all honestly dismounted and walked through the city gate, even if they crossed the city hole and turned over the horse again, they did not dare to ride the horse and gallop wildly, and there was no arrogance in the past, and no one dared to wear the Beiliang knife privately, presumably because the smell of blood in the entire Youzhou had not been dispersed. The freshly dressed angry horses of the Beiliang heroes since ancient times have been forcibly removed. After Xu Fengnian entered the city, he still led the horse slowly, walking towards a house with rare mountains and water, in Beiliang to see the height of the door, only need to see the amount of water, the number of wells, the cellar of winter snow, it is even more remarkable to be able to face the lake, as for Qingliang Mountain to sit on a tide lake, since the head of the family is surnamed Xu, there is no need to say anything.

In the city of Rouge County, Hu Bai is a spy, he is still very young, but he was placed on high hopes by the senior spies as early as his youth, and it is not common for Bei Liang to turn from a spy to an official, but it is certainly not difficult to say that Hu Bai is very handsome and does not read much, but he is born with a bookish atmosphere. The soft-shelled turtle spy of Rouge County was his master's subordinate, and he had a lot of silent care for Hu Bai, so he sent him a good errand that did not require much, but was very pleasing and conducive to the future, at first Hu Bai heard that it was for a woman to be an eyeliner, and he was not happy, but he just obeyed people's orders, it was the duty of a spy, but when Hu Bai became the new shopkeeper of the silk shop on this street, when he saw the woman with his own eyes, he didn't even have a little resentment, Hu Bai had seen many beautiful women, or as charming as a peony, or as clear as a white lotus, and he even tasted the taste of Daqinglou Oiran, and his mood was always unwavering, but I have never seen such a touching woman, and things other than her appearance, which makes Hu Bai even more difficult to let go, Hu Bai follows his duty, does not dare to cross the Lei Chi for a single step, does not take the initiative to see her, she appears on the street very few times, from the appearance of the silk village to the disappearance, it is a door away, Hu Bai will not even look up, can only look at that moment with the corner of his eye, occasionally lying on the roof late at night drinking, looking at the dark courtyard not far away, knowing that she lives there, he is satisfied. Hu Bai didn't explore her details, just thinking that he could guard it like this, not far or near, one day at a time, and it would be best to have a lifetime. He only knows that the surname of the woman in the road is Pei, she lives in a simple place, and has never had a meeting with the dignitaries of Rouge County, her gas is always cold, it is this kind of inevitable feeling that will give people the suspicion of twilight, and it is also amazing, there are many mansions of powerful people in Rouge County nearby, not that there is no guy with a keen sense of smell who moves when he hears the wind, Hu Bai on a dark and windy night, he personally knocked out the master and more than a dozen servants, and the bloated military sacrificial wine like a pig choked his neck, lifted a foot off the ground, and slammed his head against the wall of the alley, fainting on the spotThe next day, the military sacrifice wine lord lost his official position, and the whole family was expelled from the county, after that, no one dared to "fight" Wu Dou, and there were still guys who wanted to "fight" to win the beauty smile, but I didn't see the door open, and then I didn't know what the county guard said, and the prodigal prodigal who liked vassal elegance in the high gate of the wealthy family also disappeared overnight, and the alley was clean again, and there was still no trace of fireworks.

Today, Hu Bai is skillful in dealing with those rich women who wear gold and silver in the silk shop, earning the best money in the world, between buying and selling, I don't know who rubs whose oil, he is laughing with two women of the age of a wolf and a tiger, suddenly glimpsed someone outside the door leading a horse by, blink of an eye, he looked at the person from head to toe, even the quality of the horse and the material of the saddle did not miss, did not notice anything unusual, Hu Bai also planned to withdraw his gaze, but the man intentionally or unintentionally looked sideways at the shop, just glanced at Hu Bai, the two smiled at the same time, Hu Bai and the other man rode over, disappeared from view, frowned, but thinking that there are a lot of hidden piles on this street, and there is no shortage of masters with more martial arts skills than him, he doesn't worry about it, hooks the corners of his mouth, and thinks that the young boy is extremely good-looking, and it is indeed rare in Rouge County, which is rich in beautiful women but sloppy. Seeing the smile on Hu Bai's face, several women in the shop were more and more willing to spend a lot of money, but when they were kneading the silk and satin materials, the palm of the hand brushed on the back of Hu Bai's arm was also quietly heavier.

After Pei Nanwei lived in this courtyard, she left two young maids with diligent hands and feet, serving closely, but it was not intimate, she only laughed with them when she was in a good mood, she would joke with them, all of them were teasing words spoken as women who came over, asking them if they had a sweetheart, whether they needed her to be a matchmaker, they always blushed and fluttered their faces, and they didn't know how to answer, Pei Nanwei turned around and forgot after laughing, but she didn't really want to be the old man of the moon, over time, the two maids also roughly figured out the temperament of the owner of the hospital, at first they thought it was the golden house of the official master of Rouge County, Later, I didn't see any men who could walk into the yard, so there was no speculation, even their women couldn't take their eyes off the big beauty, if anyone really fell in love with the people who were raised here, where would they be willing to lose it for a few months and not come to be pampered and loved? She hesitated for a while, thinking that anyway, the heroine couldn't hear the movement in the backyard, so she went to see who was so sacred, she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and when she opened the door, she was immediately stunned, yo, it's a handsome brother, so I can see that the reader in the novel of the talented and beautiful woman has walked out of the book, and after he opened the door, he also smiled at the maid Zhuhai who was separated by a threshold, and smiled so much that Zhuhai's heart was like a deer, and he only felt that he was more gentle and handsome than the Hu shopkeeper in the silk village on the adjacent street.

Xu Fengnian said softly: "My name is Xu Qi, I am the lord of Bishan County, you Miss Pei know, bother the girl to go and talk to me." ”

The maid was a little embarrassed, she knew the Tao in Bishan County, and she also knew the size of the Dao when the county lord was such an official, but if she wanted to say that this person said that she knew her own lady, she would not believe it. Xu Gongzi, no matter how good-looking you are, it's not a reason for you to swagger into the yard. Where did she dare to really bother Miss Pei for this, if everyone had to tell her since she signed up, this courtyard would have already broken through the threshold for the group of disciples in Rouge County, and the bluestone bricks on the ground of the alley would have to be replaced. Zhuhai looked suspicious and questioning, but he was unwilling to move his steps, so he stared at him with wide eyes, and he was unwilling to turn around. Xu Fengnian was also a little helpless with this conscientious little girl, thought about it, and said: "The county guard Hongshan asked me to come, if you tell Miss Pei that she still says that she doesn't see the guest, the girl will beat me with a broom, okay?"

In Rouge County, Hongshan is already the biggest official, and he can be an errand boy in this courtyard, and the maid Zhuhai also knows the importance of the stakes, thinks for a moment, and says seriously: "The slave will go and talk to the young lady, and I won't close the courtyard door, but you are not allowed to enter the courtyard without permission." ”

Xu Fengnian nodded.

The maid turned around and left suspiciously, not forgetting to turn her head to see if the young boy was really honest, and seeing that he didn't move, she quickened her pace, and had the courage to go to the backyard to inform the young lady. Xu Fengnian sat on the threshold, with his back to the house, looking at the mount on the street that was not a good horse or a bad horse, as for the cold sight of a few pairs of extremely patient people in the hidden place, it should be ordered by the spy leader of the county town, and he was not allowed to interfere in the obstruction, Xu Fengnian could easily and clearly perceive their heartbeat, for their observance of duty, Xu Fengnian had some feelings, outsiders mentioned Beiliang, the first impression must be that the iron horse invincible in the world, and the white horse scout who rode the dust, but he was not familiar with the Beiliang spy dead soldier created by Chu Lushan, in fact, for so many years, there were not many deaths between the two armies on the battlefield, Bei Liang's exchange of lives with Beimang cobwebs and Liyang Zhao Gou has never been interrupted. Xu Fengnian came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and laughed, the maid Nizi actually carried a broom, and ran angrily, daring to really sweep him out of the house before stopping, no need to guess that Pei Nanwei, the mother-in-law, had stumbled upon herself.

Xu Fengnian stood up, watched the maid use her teeth and claws to use a broom to use the long-lost dog-beating stick method on the rivers and lakes, hurriedly left the courtyard gate, retreated to the bottom of the steps, and smiled angrily at the courtyard gate: "The surname Pei is ruthless." ”

The maid stood at the door menacingly, waved her broom, turned her head suddenly, and saw her young lady standing on the steps in the yard, with a smile like a flower that she had never witnessed before, where was the coldness when she heard her own situation before, Zhuhai realized that she had probably made a big mistake, turned her head, cried and mourned, and looked pitifully at the foot of the steps The young man named Xu Qi walked up the steps with a smile, not annoyed, took the broom from her hand, crossed the threshold, and glared at the gloating Pei Nanwei, " Fun?"

The moving woman, who had lost the identity of Princess Jing'an before, and now she doesn't even have a place for rouge to comment on beauties, has a cold face again.

The maid Zhuhai stood timidly behind Xu Fengnian, at a loss. Another maid stood behind Pei Nanwei, looking at the young man who was not brightly dressed, and felt as unbelievable as Zhuhai, their young lady had casually refused the visit of the county guard in Rouge County, after Lord Hong heard about it, not to mention angry, he didn't let out a fart, waited for the answer at the gate of the courtyard, and turned around and left. In this case, I'm afraid that only a feudal official like Youzhou Assassin Shi is qualified, but where did he come from such a young and high-ranking person? The eldest son of the dignified envoy, Li Hanlin Li Gongzi, the number one officialdom in Beiliang Province, the prodigal son turned back and did not change his money, and made meritorious contributions on the border, but I heard that he was not also a standard commander of the crossbow ride? Pei Nanwei sneered softly with a sarcastic face: "Zhuhai, Mei Shao, don't you want to meet our Beiliang King who visited Rouge County privately. You must know that there is no such shop in this village after Lu Dao, and the youngest Shangzhu Kingdom Lord of the Liyang Dynasty is not something that anyone can see if they want to. ”

The two maids didn't care about distinguishing the real from the fake, so they were so frightened that they knelt down in a daze, especially the maid Zhuhai, who was just holding a broom, burst into tears all of a sudden.

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Get up, don't listen to your young lady's nonsense." ”

The maids didn't dare to get up after being killed, they would rather believe in it than believe in it, who dared to joke with their lives. If it was really that newcomer who killed people without blinking an eye to slaughter the King of Beiliang, killing the two of them would not be as simple as exhaling? Besides, the entire Beiliang was the sixth master in the world who was amazed at the King of Xinliang, wouldn't he be happy to let his iron riders kill people, and if he was unhappy, he would do it himself? Xu Fengnian put down the broom and said to Pei Nanwei: "I am now the lord of Bishan County, and I lack a person to cook and cook, do you have any ideas?"

Pei Nanwei said categorically: "No!"

Xu Fengnian laughed, walked over and picked up this girl, and walked towards the courtyard gate, Pei Nanwei was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and shouted sharply: "Come on, someone is robbing the people's daughter!"

No one paid attention to her fanning the flames, the two maids secretly raised their heads, and looked at the cold young lady who shouted like a madman, no matter how young they were, they didn't know how to deal with affairs, but after all, they were both women, and they also felt some taste, so they didn't dare to get up, and watched the young lady being kidnapped by the young man who might probably really be the king of Beiliang.

Outside the door, Xu Fengnian threw her on the back of the horse and led the horse out of the alley.

The spy Hu Bai walked through the alleyway, then glanced lightly at the woman who was sitting on horseback without saying a word, he lowered his head and continued on his way.

May the word start in the heart, and die in the heart in an instant.

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the back that was difficult to hide his loneliness, and did not speak.

After leading the horse out of the city, he turned over and got on the horse, sat behind Pei Nanwei, galloped all the way, and returned to Bishan County overnight, and then soon the county knew that Lord Bo had a daughter-in-law who was captivating the country and the city. Zuo Jing, the county magistrate, heard that the county government was talking about this matter, and finally couldn't hold it back, and took the initiative to bring wine to the cold house for the first time, which was really shocking, but the woman was wearing a jinghai cloth skirt, and it was really for Xu Qi, a family who fell in the middle of the road, to kill the seed brother, and if it was him Zuo Lord, then he had to be a female Bodhisattva to serve? It's just that the woman who looks like a first-time woman, doesn't ignore anyone, after arriving in Bishan County, just the first two days with Xu Zhubo to buy a lot of tea, rice, oil, salt bottles, bottles and jars, peace of mind, when she meets a drunkard who is not a guest who is not drinking, she only appears slightly as the owner of the small courtyard, barely losing etiquette, and no more enthusiasm, can only see her moving those worthless potted flowers and plants, and feeding a cage of chickens and ducks in the corner. Zuo Jing was so slippery, he was cautious, and intended to let the lord Bo Xu Qi deal with some inconsequential old cases in the county office, and the woman would also come with a food box, and when Xu Qi had eaten a steaming meal, and then brought back the food box, it was as simple as that, he could hook the eyes of the people in the county government to the ground, and he couldn't wait to be stepped on by her a few feet. Even the county magistrate Feng Qian, who has always been above the top, began to chat with Xu Qi, a subordinate official, on time at noon, but when the woman appeared, he took the initiative to leave, as for the county lieutenant Bai Shangyan, he still didn't get close to Xu Qi these days, but his clothes changed every day. I don't know who started and called the woman Mrs. Xu, after she nodded and smiled, Mrs. Xu's name gradually rose and fell in the county government one after another, obviously thanks to Mrs. Xu's blessing, Lord Bo finally had some official appearance, three days and two people invited him to drink, Xu Qi also did not refuse, every time he went home full of alcohol.

On this day, it is the summer solstice, in the twilight, Xu Fengnian seems to be drunk but his eyes are clear and he returns to the courtyard, sitting at the table, even if he has eaten, he is still eating a simple meal with her at the same table with more vegetarian than meat.

Xu Fengnian sat in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, Pei Nanwei cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and lay on the cool bamboo bench beside Xu Fengnian, gently shaking a reed fan.

Pei Nanwei said: "Is the summer solstice?"

Xu Fengnian snorted.

Pei Nanwei stopped the fan and asked, "Over there in Guangling, a lot of people are going to die?"

Xu Fengnian was silent.

Pei Nanwei raised his head, looked at the twilight, and laughed softly: "The good people in the history books are all perfect people without flaws, and the bad people seem to have done a good thing." If you die one day, won't anyone write you a good word?"

Xu Fengnian squatted on the small bench and still didn't speak. Just took the fan in her hand, he was not as stingy as her, and after shaking the fan, both of them could be cool.

Pei Nanwei turned sideways, stared at him, and said, "Aren't you the sixth in the world, if you can conjure up an acre or two of reeds for me, let you sleep in bed at night." ”

Xu Fengnian said flatly: "Even if I am a land immortal, I don't have this ability." Besides, let me sleep in the bed and you make the floor, what's the difference?"

Pei Nanwei laughed heartily, and then said with a wink: "You, you are the sixth most powerful in the world." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled: "Who said it wasn't." ”
