"Thank you, sister-in-law," Niu Shi said without being polite, took the teacup and drank the hot water. I was choked and coughed because I drank too quickly.

"Oh, you slow down, be careful," Yoo Susu advised, "where are you from?" Don't you want to talk to your eldest brother in advance? ”

Lao Shi gasped and said, "This Cheng Shaoqing turned his face, we couldn't stay in the demon city, so we had to come to Jiangcheng." But I didn't expect that Yin Changsheng also turned his face, you said that it was only a long time before my former friends became enemies, it just confused me, I really don't know what to do, what to do. ”

"Yes," Liu Susu sighed, "Recently, your eldest brother has been in a mess and in a bad mood. ”

Niu Shi took the towel handed over by Liu Susu, wiped his face, and suddenly felt more energetic, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law." Guess who I met on the road? ”

"Now that this is in chaos, who else have you encountered?"

"I met my second brother, you said it was a coincidence."

"You said Lao Jiu."

Lao Shi smiled: "I made an appointment with my second brother." Let's come to Jiangcheng to find the eldest brother, and my second brother will arrive later. ”

"That's great," Liu Susu said with a smile, "You brothers haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Niu Shi still felt hot after drinking a pot of tea, so he picked up the pu fan and fanned it, and said, "Yes, it's not easy to meet each other now." Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Oh, by the way, what about the children?" ”

Liu Susu's voice was a little softer, and she said, "Falling asleep inside, sleeping soundly."

Lao Shi put down the teacup: "Oops, I'll take a look." When Niu Shi looked at it, he saw that Niu Ba's two children were sleeping soundly, but because the weather was too hot, the sweat on his head stuck his hair and forehead together.

Lao Shi looked at it, lovingly fanned the children with the pu fan in his hand for a while, and then came out and said to Liu Susu: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen them grow up again in the past few days." ”

After watching it for a while, Lao Shi was a little worried: "Who did my eldest brother send, why hasn't he come back yet?" ”

"He didn't say it, but it seemed like an important guest."

It's almost dawn.

The more Lao Shi thought about it, the more irritated he felt: "No, I'd better pick him up." ”

Liu Susu said: "Wait, you better change your clothes first." ”

Lao Shi changed out of his clothes that were torn by the beating of the White Lotus Sect soldiers, and when he came to the riverside, he saw the eldest brother Niu Ba.

At this time, the east was twilight, and Niu Ba faced this faint morning light, looked at the river with his hands behind his back, and fell into contemplation. Lao Shi shouted: "Big brother! Niu Ba didn't seem to hear it, and Lao Shi shouted again, "Big brother!" ”

This time Niu Ba finally heard it, he turned his head and saw that it was his younger brother, and he was also surprised: "Tenth brother, it turned out to be you." ”

"Starling, I have found you," Niu Shi rushed over and hugged Niu Ba tightly, the brothers were a little excited, at this most dangerous moment, the gathering of the brothers can be said to be full of mixed feelings.

Niu Ba also said with tears in his eyes: "Old ten." This is not the place to talk, we need to find a safe place. ”

The two of them came to a stone cave, and through the stone cave, there was an uninhabited stone dam, and I don't know if it was hundreds or thousands of years ago that people built these stone ruins.

When the two came to Stone City, Lao Shicai said: "Big brother, you said that Cheng Shaoqing's bastard is simply too hateful, he relied on our Fire Spirit Dao to become the generalissimo of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but I never expected that he would take revenge and use a knife against us." Do you say he's still human? There is also that Yin Changsheng, everyone originally thought that he would go east with us to meet the heavens, but yes, I never thought of it. He actually wore a pair of pants with Cheng Shaoqing, and he killed our fellow Daoists, and he was no softer than Cheng Shaoqing. I heard that they also openly clamored that they would rather kill 3,000 than let one go, so we must report it for being so bloodless and deep sea. ”

Niu Ba had been listening to his brother's bitter accusation while frowning, and when his brother finished speaking, he sighed and said leisurely: "The break between the White Lotus and the Fire Spirit Sect, if it is just a difference of political opinion, it is not surprising, but they have mastered the military power and come to kill us completely, this is really going to be wiped out by our Fire Spirit Dao." ”

Niu Ba sighed for a long time: "Our Fire Spirit Dao people are really bleeding like a river." ”

"The rabbit bites when he's in a hurry," Lao Shi said sadly, "Who can swallow this evil breath?" Big brother, we can't be a fish at the bottom of the kettle anymore, and let the family raise their salaries at the bottom. What do you say we should do? What to do? ”

"yes, what should I do?" Niu Ba thought to himself, his younger brother can come and ask himself, but who should he ask? Ask the blue sky on your head? Or the earth beneath your feet? What to do? It was time to think about what to do, and he said to his younger brother, "You go to Hongcheng first." ”

"To Hongcheng?" Niu Shi didn't understand.

Niu Ba didn't answer directly, but said, "The guest I just sent was Brother Daochun." ”

"Do you mean Li Daochun, one of the five dragon heads?"

"Well, do you know what he's here for?"

"I don't know. What is he here for? ”

"This matter is extremely confidential, and although I can tell you about it, you must not divulge half of it. The Fire Spirit General Altar is preparing for a major event, which will be held in Hongcheng. ”

"Great, starling, let's go."

At this time, the sun in the east emitted a golden light, shining from behind, Niu Ba's face seemed to be hit with a layer of golden holy light, Niu Ba smiled and said: "You go, I don't go, I have to go somewhere else." ”

Niu Ba turned his face to look at his younger brother, his face was shining with the morning sun, and he said to me: "The sect has other arrangements for me, tell me to prepare to move elsewhere, and when you take Hongcheng and gain a firm foothold, I will take my team to meet you, and after we join forces, we will go south to the demon city together, so that big things can be expected." ”

Niu Shi nodded and said, "Great, I'll leave immediately." ”

"Tenth brother," *** said, "Our parents passed away early, I have taken you with me since I was a child, alas," Niu Ba sighed, "In my eyes, you will always be a child, although I am more than ten years older than you." However, you have been in the afterlife for many years, I can't tie you to my side anymore, there must be a lot of danger in going to Hongcheng, you, you have to be more careful. ”

Niu Shi seemed full of confidence, and he said: "Brother Starling, don't worry, I will never embarrass you, oh, by the way, my ninth brother will be on the way to Jiangcheng, I don't know when I can arrive, I will go to Hongcheng and the three of us brothers are afraid that we will lose another opportunity to get together." ”
