Shangyuan Festival, Dongyang City, the largest and most prosperous city in the east, has not lost its style because of the change of city lords, merchants and the Zhong family have hung lanterns all over the city early, except for the necessary guards, almost all the people in the city have been wandering in the streets, everyone's direction is the same, through the main street of the inner city directly to the Zhongjia school, because the lantern will be held in the school field after dark, and the Zhong family will also distribute a large amount of money and silver, which is also the most exciting moment for the people in the city every year.

Zhong's mansion can not be described by the courtyard, the courtyard group surrounding the turtle mountain is more like a city fortress, the school field is outside the courtyard group, there is an artificial river in the middle of the school field and the inner city, the people of Dongyang City call it the Zhong River, if the people in the city want to enter the school field, they can only walk five pontoon bridges, and the pontoon bridges are guarded all year round.

In a dilapidated small mansion on the yin side of Guishan, the two of them stood on the martial arts stage panting, it should have just finished the competition, and the older one took the lead and gasped and said: "The little junior brother's kung fu is getting better and better, and in a while it will not be your opponent to be a brother, the master is really eccentric, and the fourth layer of the Jiuchen Gongfa has been awarded to you." ”

"Senior brother praised, all the senior brothers are working hard for the night guard every day, only I have nothing to do, I can only practice martial arts diligently, in order to help the senior brothers in the future." The young man said with a smile.

The elder threw a sweat towel to the young man to signal him to wipe off the sweat, and when he saw the young man walking towards him, he handed the kettle and said with a smile: "Zhiwu has really grown up, I won't joke with you, you have never left the master half a step, this time I actually asked you to come over to help me, but what does the master have to explain." ”

"That's right, the master asked me to tell the senior brother that no matter whether the senior brother can win the position of the city lord or not, the senior brother must not return to the night guard."

The elder was shocked, and looked at Zhiwu with an incredible look, and Zhiwu handed him back the kettle and continued: "The master said that the senior brothers are all children of the family, although they are side branches, it is better than staying in the dark night guard, a place that does not see the light of day and is spurned by the world. ”

"Is the court going to disband the Night Guard or is the master going into retirement?" The elder doesn't believe in these high-sounding nonsense, he was born in the side branch of the family since he was a child, and a big family like the Zhong family can't take care of their side branches and distant relatives at all, most of them are begging for a life under the protection of the Zhong family, and the few who go out to make a living are either displaced or die in a foreign land, and he can get the appreciation of the commander of the Night Guard and accept him as the first disciple has been the creation of several generations, so he feels that there must be something big happening if the master does not let them return to the Night Guard.

"Sure enough, I can't hide the eyes of the senior brother, the master visited Changsun Hong a few years ago, and found that the Changsun clan was abnormal, and there was no result in the pursuit of Chen Shuo, the court was already very dissatisfied, and the court intended to let the prince be in charge of the dark night." I felt helpless in my words.

"What are the master's plans?"

"The master plans to resign from the Commander of the Night Guard and return to Yongcheng after the Spring Festival, and the other senior brothers have also been roughly notified, and the master asked me to chase who the senior brother will be in the future, and only the senior brother knows the details of the pursuit of his life experience."

"Although you can rest assured of this obsession, the investigation of your life experience has nothing to do with the affairs of Dongyang City, but for my brother, I have a sentence in my heart, you have now broken the Dizang realm, can you let go of your attachment to your life experience." The elder said with relief.

"Actually, the master and you have generally guessed my background, otherwise the master would not have decided to visit the eldest grandson temporarily." Zhiwu stood up and said lightly while sorting out his clothes.

The elder didn't evade it, nodded, and said: "I'm not sure yet, at least the eldest grandson's family is vague, the master and all the brothers want you to live happily, and the master named you Attachment and Enlightenment, just to let you let go of your attachment and enlighten life." ”

Zhiwu rolled his eyes, and said with a sly smile: "Everyone knows that the senior brother is a disciple of the Zhong family, but they don't know the real name of the senior brother, and today the junior brother has the heart to find out." ”

"What's the use of the name, but since you came to help me fight for the position of the lord of Dongyang City, I should let you know, listen well, my brother's real name is Zhongfan." I felt embarrassed after saying it.

Zhiwu suddenly turned around and walked back, Zhong Fan was startled by this behavior, but when he saw Zhiwu's shaking shoulders, he knew what the situation was, this kid was laughing, Zhong Fan, the one who delivered the meal, it was unbearable not to beat him, and after a while, a few pig-like howls passed through the small courtyard and pierced through the clouds.

The winter sun is always very short, the guards of the Dongyang school are holding the boat to transport the ice of the Zhonghe River into pieces to the place where the ice lanterns of the school field gather, when the people are enjoying the spectacle of the ice lanterns, Zhong Jue, the owner of Dongyang City, slowly walked out from the main gate and was huddled out, smiling and greeting the people, at this time a guard half knelt to present a strong bow, and another guard immediately sent a lit feather arrow, only to see Zhong Jue put the feather arrow on the bow, easily full, whistling out, three miles away on the iceberg instantly ignited, When the people saw this, they shouted that the city lord was mighty.

Just when the people began to dance, there was a gray-haired and handsome young man squatting on the edge of the pontoon, although he was in tattered clothes, his tall figure and tall figure made the little lady who passed by exclaim in her heart: "Where did you come from such a handsome little beggar!" ”

If the people of the Chen family can definitely recognize that this is Chen Shuo who ran out, Chen Shuo regretted it in his heart, he forgot to steal more silver taels when he ran out, and the silver taels on his body could not be spent anymore, so he had to keep it tomorrow to find a boat to go to sea to South Vietnam, at this moment Chen Shuo's stomach was screaming badly, and he was thinking about how to get something to eat, and suddenly a few pieces of broken silver rolled in front of him, Chen Shuo was suddenly furious, who regarded me as asking for food, ready to scold, this time Chen Shuo was stupid, a woman in plain white clothes, her skin was better than snow, The eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when looking forward to it, it has an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people take pictures of it, so that women all over the world are ashamed of themselves and dare not blaspheme. Chen Shuo's whole person was stupid, and he looked at it intently. At this time, a soft and crisp voice came from behind the woman, very beautiful, after a few glances, a girl with a similar face to the woman flashed out, her expression was innocent, delicate and naughty, I don't know whether it was cold or hot cheeks flushed, although she was young, but her complexion was beautiful and elegant, and she said: "Second sister, this beggar is so unruly!" ”

"It's okay, I guess I'm very hungry," then patted the girl's hand and turned to Chen Shuo and said: "You're afraid of being a foreigner, we won't have beggars in Dongyang City, these pieces of broken silver will buy you some food, if you want to gain a foothold in my Dongyang City, you can go to the Beicheng Gongying Division tomorrow to find a job, remember, Dongyang City does not raise idlers." After saying that, he led the girl and floated away.

Seeing that Chen Shuo was still dumbfounded, someone with good deeds pushed him, and scolded with a smile: "Silly, this is the second and third miss of Dongyang City, don't be delusional about beggars like you, hurry up and buy some food, and it is the right etiquette to go to the Gongying Division tomorrow to find a job." ”

Chen Shuo was pushed out of the amazement, and he was not angry, he picked up the broken silver on the ground and chased after him, and before he got close, the guards who followed the two young ladies stopped him and were about to arrest him, when suddenly a hand came out of the crowd and stopped the guard's hand, the guard looked at the others angrily, saw who the person was, and said angrily: "What does this mean by Fan Gongzi?!" The tone was full of disdain and hostility.

When the two were at a stalemate, they saw an older woman come over and whispered, "Stop!" Then he turned around and turned to Zhong Fan and apologized slightly: "Cousin, forgive me, it's all my little sister's." ”

Zhong Fan waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and when he was about to introduce Zhiwu to the two women, the young girl jumped directly onto Zhong Fan's back with a swoop, and said lightly: "Brother Fan, you are so ruthless, you haven't come back to see me all these years, what about my sword?" Before you left, you said you were going to bring me a good sword. ”

Zhong Fan was quite embarrassed, and finally got the little girl off his back, and said respectfully: "Miss Rouning, Miss Roulan, Zhong Fan is polite." ”

The older girl motioned for the guards to release her, and then said to Zhong Fan, "Cousin, is it for the city lord's business?" ”

Zhong Fan didn't respond positively, but just smiled forcefully: "If I say that I and my junior brother are back to visit relatives, the second miss is credible?" After that, he pulled out Zhiwu and introduced it to the two, "This is my junior brother, Xuanwu." ”

Zhiwu was a little confused at this time, and he didn't know what Zhong Fan wanted to do, but he still tried his best to cooperate, "Junior brother Xuanwu has seen the two young ladies. As he spoke, he dragged Chen Shuo, who had just stood up, behind him.

Zhong Rouning didn't debunk everything in her eyes, and responded politely: "It turned out to be a senior disciple led by Yang, Zhong's Rouning is polite, since he is a friend brought by my brother, it is not allowed to be rude, everyone please take care of yourself, my sister and I are going to visit our father." ”

After saying that, Zhong Rou grabbed Zhong Roulan, who still wanted to toss, and left, and whispered: "My cousin was kicked out by my father back then!" ”

When Chen Shuo heard that it was Yang Boyu's apprentice, he suddenly felt a big blow and wanted to run away when he saw the opportunity, but the power of Zhiwu was not something he could break free, so he only listened to Zhiwu's voice: "To be honest, if you don't want to be taken back and follow me, you may be able to save your life!" ”
