Po Toi, in a private house outside the city.

The house was very small, with only two rooms, not even a hall, and the roof was covered with straw. The house was almost empty except for simple kitchen utensils and beds.

The night in the mountain village is dark and hazy, and the small oil lamps lit by each house are very small, and the wicks are deliberately shortened, and some cannot afford to light oil lamps, so they can only burn some firewood for lighting. It's not like the countryside now, it's bright everywhere, and there is no sense of darkness at all. The last quarter moon in the sky is covered by dark clouds, which makes people feel cold and quiet.

Tang Sai'er sat in a room in a daze, not moving for a long time, and he didn't even notice that the oil lamp was out.

The creaky door was pushed open, and Dong Yangao hurriedly lit the lamp and shouted: "Mother Buddha." Seeing that there was still no response, he raised his voice and shouted.

Tang Sai'er put away something in a little panic, Dong Yangao was taken aback, and through the dim light, she saw that she was putting away a knife, which was very sharp, she was going to-

"How? Have you ever hidden your whereabouts? ”

Dong Yangao held back the doubts in his heart and replied: "They are all scattered in the houses in the vicinity, those who have relatives take refuge in relatives, and those who do not have relatives enter the mountains, they have all built houses and prepared food, and it is not a problem to survive for half a month." ”

"What is the government doing?"

Dong Yangao was a little excited and said: "Mother Buddha, when Lord Chen arrived at the Han Palace, I don't know what he said. Now the officers and soldiers are celebrating the victory, but they only left a few soldiers and horses to guard us, and they did not pursue us. It depends on whether the court has an amnesty, and when the amnesty arrives, everyone will return home. ”

He really did it, Tang Sai'er had mixed feelings, shook the dagger in his hand, and suddenly felt a little reluctant, and was startled by this thought. Secretly warned herself: Tang Sai'er, Tang Sai'er, your parents are dead, your husband died tragically, and you have lost your innocence, you should go to the spring to apologize to your husband, why are you still thinking nonsense.

"Mother Buddha-" Dong Yangao wanted to speak but stopped.

Tang Sai'er took a breath and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Yes, my subordinates infiltrated Le'an City to inquire about the news, and I actually saw it, and I saw-"

Don Sai became suspicious.

"Seeing that Gao Feng, the commander of Qingzhou Wei, not only did he not die, but he was reinstated. Seeing that he is proud, it seems that he still has to be promoted. ”

"Knock-" Tang Sai'er slammed the dagger into the table, that pretty face was elegant and refined, bright and beautiful, and a pair of pretty eyes under the curved willow eyebrows flashed, extremely cold.

Han Wangfu, the dinner continued.

Chen Yuan's song is unique, and after the King of Han praised it, he laughed again and again. Then the dancers continued to dance, and the crowd continued to drink. There was a lot of wine, and everyone used the wine to put their hands up and down to the women around them, or talk to each other, which was very noisy, and King Han didn't mind.

It seems that there are a lot of such banquets, which are not very popular with those generals. The king of Han was willing to reward them, so many people were willing to serve the mission.

Chen Yuan was only familiar with Yuan Bin and Jian Yixuan in the hall, and he wanted to go over and say a few words and ask them about their arrival in Shandong, but in the end he held back. There are many people, and it's not the right time.

He introduced himself to other people, drank seven or eight glasses in a row, and began to get drunk. Suddenly, Gao Feng came over and grinned: "Lord Chen, congratulations on escaping from the hands of the White Lotus bandits, the so-called catastrophe will have a blessing if you don't die, come and have a toast." ”

"Thank you, Lady Gao." Chen Yuan raised his glass politely.

Seeing that Chen Yuan drank it happily, Gao Feng's interest was even higher, and he forgot about the occasion, he gave himself a thumbs up, and said: "They all say that my escape skills are high, you see, the White Lotus Sect has always wanted to kill me, hehe, first of all, that Lin San, as a result, I caught him, and he died in my hands, and later, hehe, I fought with the White Lotus Sect twice, guess what?" ”

"Hehe, the first time I was unlucky, he won, but they couldn't hurt me, the second time, the second time, the second time, the fire, tsk, the brothers are stupid, but only I understand, as long as you go forward to kill, it is the way to live, hehe, an elder of the White Lotus Sect was unlucky, he was seriously injured, he hit my hand, and was killed by me with a knife, haha, he made a great contribution, and then counted, it turned out to be Ding Gugang, I heard that he was the number two person in the White Lotus Sect."

He looked pale, and invited Chen Yuan to have a drink: "Lord Chen, the White Lotus Sect's bandit nest is like a murderer, there is no humanity, there is no one else who can escape from it except you, and my lord is not much better than me." ”

Chen Yuanshen was afraid that he would see something, so he was a little flustered in his heart, and he was silent on the surface, and said bitterly: "Hateful bandits, let me die several times, if it weren't for me being useful, first Tang Sai'er intended to exchange me for her husband, and then I was chased by the government tightly, so I would have a chance to escape." If it weren't for King Han, I wouldn't have been able to come back. Chen Yuan expressed his feelings to King Han and toasted him.

King Han knew about the deal reached, and said with a smile: "This king has always cherished talents, Chen Yuan, as long as you do things well, this king has a reward." It implied that Chen Yuan was loyal to him and could ignore the past.

"Thank you King Han, the ministers will definitely obey the dispatch of King Zhao when they go back, and follow the work of dogs and horses!" Chen Yuan didn't want to get too close to King Han, so he pulled out King Zhao.

King Han was a little unhappy, but he was the third brother's doorman, so he couldn't find a handle to say this, so he endured the unhappiness in his heart.

"I heard that Lord Chen can win all battles because he studied under Zhongnan Mountain, known as a martial arts mountain man, and can pinch and calculate, Li Li's conspiracy and tricks have nowhere to escape in front of you." Gao Feng complimented.

After he finished speaking, several people around him looked at Chen Yuan, and for a while he became the focus of everyone's attention again. Jian Yixuan couldn't help but look over.

Seeing that this guy was a shrewd general, and he still believed in this, Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he smiled: "The carving insect skill is not elegant, I laughed." ”

Gao Feng looked around and said, "Alas, don't be modest, I have doubts in my heart, why don't you solve my doubts for me?" ”

Chen Yuan then understood, first, this guy is superstitious, and second, he wants to make himself ugly in front of everyone, just now Wang Bin embarrassed himself once, and he expected that the literary was not good, and the martial arts were not suitable to embarrass himself, so he came to Xuan.

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Measuring words and divination, touching the bones and looking at the appearance, I know a little bit about it, I don't know if the adult wants to measure the word or the hexagram?" ”

"Count yourself the best."

"Then take the word test."

Gao Feng's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know much about writing, so let's test the knife word." We generals can only wield knives and guns. ”

"Knives." Chen Yuan muttered, his hand dipped in wine, wrote the word knife on the table in front of him, and then looked at it and frowned.

Gao Feng's heart tightened: "What, the words are not good?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with the words, it's just that the doubts in your heart are not good, this-"

"A gentleman asks about misfortune and not about blessing, you just say it."

"Knife, Bing Geye, look, this knife is like a fallen man, I'm afraid that the general will have a bloody disaster soon."

Gao Feng was taken aback and said, "Then, what should I do?" ”

"For a month, the general should not go out for a month, unless your house is on fire, otherwise, do not take a step out of the house."
