On the edge of the river, in a fire pit surrounded by stones, a pile of sweet potatoes was placed in a circle around the edge, and a bonfire was burned in the middle.

Li Fei's musical instrument was set aside, and he held a burning stick to dig out the red-hot coals in the fire pit and cover it with sweet potatoes.

The sweet smell of the melon continued to emanate, causing Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang to take a straight saliva.

The three of them had been heading north for a few days, and the dry food they had brought with them had already been eaten, and they had not encountered any towns along the way.

When I walked here, I happened to come across a field of crops, and now it is the season when the sweet potatoes are ripe, and the farmers are harvesting sweet potatoes in the field.

Li Fei bought a bunch of sweet potatoes from a farmer and used them as dry food.

In the original plot, Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang were stolen sweet potatoes, and they were chased by farmers, and finally paid the horse to others.

This is also their usual trick when they used to steal and eat when they had no money.

Every time the old horse was compensated by them to someone else, he would run back by himself, and they didn't know how many meals they had eaten by relying on this horse.

Now that Li Fei is here, they naturally don't need to do this anymore.

Li Fei earned more than 100 yuan by singing in that town, especially the good man in the rivers and lakes, who stuffed him with a whole tael of silver.

Even in the town, it was enough for the three of them to live for two months.

A moment later, Li Fei pulled away the ashes of the charcoal and turned out the sweet potatoes that had been roasted to a black skin.

"The sweet potato is ripe, start, be careful of scalding."

Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang couldn't wait to pick up one each, tossing it back and forth in their hands while blowing cool with their mouths.

Peel off the sweet potato skin, bite down, only feel soft and sweet, the two are extremely satisfied.

The three of them snorted and ate all the roasted sweet potatoes, and their hungry stomachs suddenly relaxed.

Xu Fengnian leaned back comfortably, propped his hands behind his back, and raised his head to Li Feiyang and said, "Eh Afei, I don't know yet, where are you from?" ”

Li Fei's expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Xu Fengnian said in surprise: "I don't know? How could it not be known? ”

Li Fei frowned and sighed, "I don't know what happened, I have amnesia." ”

Xu Fengnian said in surprise: "Amnesia? ”

Li Fei nodded and said, "I only remember that my name is Li Fei and I am proficient in music, and I don't remember anything else." ”

"Although I occasionally see certain scenes, I faintly think of something, but I just can't think about it, alas......"

Xu Fengnian said curiously: "It's so strange, then where did you wake up in the first place?" ”

Li Fei said: "It's in a ruined temple outside Yongzhou City, and when I wake up, I only have these few musical instruments around me. ”

Xu Fengnian patted him sympathetically on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, since you can occasionally be reminded of some memories by specific scenes, it means that you are not completely amnesia." ”

"I've heard of this situation before, and it should only be temporary, and sooner or later I will remember it."

Li Fei smiled reluctantly and said, "Maybe!" But no matter what, you have to let yourself live well. ”

Xu Fengnian grinned and said: "Don't worry, the prince of Beiliang is famous for his generosity, with your ability, you will definitely be rewarded by him." ”

"Maybe His Royal Highness the Prince will be happy when the time comes, and he will take you into the palace as a guest, not to mention glory and wealth, there is no problem with worry-free food and clothing."

Listening to Xu Fengnian's words, Lao Huang showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, which was funny.

Li Fei perked up and said, "I hope so, I hope that the two songs I wrote can meet the appetite of the son." ”

Xu Fengnian said with a tangled face: "Why don't you sing first......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

The three of them turned their heads to look, and saw more than a dozen horsemen rushing towards this direction.

All three sat on the ground and did not move, silently looking at the knight on the horse.

The dozen horsemen were close in an instant, and a minute to the right and left, stopped at the side of the three.

Although those knights did not have any hostility towards the three of them, they subconsciously surrounded the three of them during their actions, and maintained a little vigilance at all times.

The leader was a man dressed in a woolen coat, wearing a skullcap on his head, and a thick-backed machete at his waist.

He glanced at Li Fei's musical instruments, then at the sweet potato skins thrown by the three of them, and then at the skinny old horse, and the wariness in his eyes was a little lighter.

He leaned forward slightly and asked a few people, "Who are these instruments?" ”

Li Fei hurriedly stood up, bowed his body and said with a smile: "Uncle Hui's words, it's mine, I'm a singing artist, this is my guy who eats, it's all old things, worthless." ”

The big man rolled his eyes, who is so rare that you have a few broken musical instruments.

immediately ignored him, turned to look at Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang, and asked, "Do you want to eat meat?" ”

Xu Fengnian immediately got up with a flattering smile, and said with an excited look on his face: "I want to!" ”

Lao Huang also stood up with a happy look, looking like he had met a well-wisher.

Dahan said: "There is a ruined temple five miles ahead, come with me and give you meat to eat." ”

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The big man glanced at a few more people, pulled the reins, and rode away.

The other knights immediately followed, quite a bit of a resolute taste.

Xu Fengnian shouted loudly: "Uncle go slowly." ”

When the knights walked away, Li Fei said with a frightened look: "This group of people is much more terrifying than the gang of heroes a few days ago, but fortunately they are not some evil bandits who kill people without blinking." ”

Xu Fengnian looked at the backs of the group of knights, and said thoughtfully: "There are traces of military formations, not like ordinary horse bandits." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lao Huang and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Lao Huang persuaded bitterly: "Young master, you don't know martial arts, let's go around!" ”

Xu Fengnian groaned slightly, shook his head and said, "If I want to hide from you, I want to eat meat." ”

He looked at Li Fei and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Do you dare to eat meat? ”

Li Fei hesitated slightly, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are going, then I will go too." ”

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed with appreciation, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

He could see that Li Fei was a little afraid of those horse bandits, which was normal, if he was not afraid at all, there would be a problem.

But although he was afraid, because he was going, he didn't want to leave alone, which was quite a bit of sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman.

Therefore, Xu Fengnian glanced at Li Fei, and was very happy that he had another friend.

Like Li Fei, a good friend who met in Pingshui, he also met so many along the way, but there were not many, and each one was something he was willing to cherish.

Lao Huang hurriedly followed and said, "Then I will also eat meat." ”

Li Fei took a pair of musical instruments, Lao Huang picked up his long box, took the old horse, and followed Xu Fengnian to stride forward.

……

When I arrived at the broken temple, the sky had already darkened, and in the open space outside the broken temple, there were two fat sheep, and there was a bonfire burning underneath, but they were roasting the whole sheep.

Around the clearing, there was a group of beggars in ragged buildings with a broken bowl in their hands.

After Li Fei and the three arrived, a horse bandit casually pointed to an open space and asked them to go there and wait.

After the three of them sat down, Lao Huang approached Xu Fengnian and said softly, "Young Master, what do you say they are looking for so many beggars for?" ”

Xu Fengnian groaned: "I can't guess for the time being." ”

Li Fei whispered: "There should be something that we need to do." ”

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Let's wait and see what happens!" ”

As time passed, night gradually fell, and the roasted whole lamb was slowly roasted to a golden butter and fragrant atmosphere.

After nearly two hours, the man in charge of roasting the sheep shouted, "All right, ready to eat." ”

The horse bandits immediately moved, moving wine, preparing dishes and chopsticks, and the originally quiet broken temple immediately became noisy.

The bandits cut enough meat for themselves before they gave it to the beggars.

A horse bandit held two bowls of meat, pacing and said loudly: "If you want to eat meat, listen to the rules first, and remember the name 'Xu Fengnian'." ”

"This person should be dressed in brocade clothes, on the way north, give me a careful watch, if you encounter something suspicious, report it immediately, if you really find it, there will be a heavy reward."

When the horse bandit walked to Li Fei's side, he accidentally dropped a piece of mutton, Xu Fengnian hurriedly picked it up, and it was not too dirty, so he stuffed it into his mouth and tore it open.

Seeing that Xu Fengnian was reincarnated as a hungry ghost, the horse bandit didn't listen carefully to him, kicked him in the thigh, glared and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

Gu Yan Xu Fengnian nodded again and again: "I understand, Xu Fengnian is dressed in brocade." ”

As he spoke, he went to pick up the bowl in the hand of the horse bandit, but the horse bandit didn't let go, but looked at Li Fei and Lao Huang and asked, "Do you two understand?" ”

Li Fei hurriedly patted the suona on his waist, and said with a flattering smile: "Understand, if the situation is urgent and there is no time to report, I will blow the suona, this thing is loud, you can hear it." ”

"Well, good, you're good." Seeing this, the horse bandit nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the bowl out and gave Li Fei a bowl alone, while Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang had a bowl for two.

Xu Fengnian glanced at Li Fei speechlessly, aren't you still planning to go to my reward for money? A bowl of meat is going to sell me?

As soon as Xu Fengnian took the bowl in his hand, he was snatched by Lao Huang.

He was about to snatch it back, but the horse bandit patted him on the shoulder and said, "Eh, enter the temple, someone wants to see you." ”

Xu Fengnian pointed to the meat in the bowl, and then to himself, his face full of confusion.

He wanted to say something, but the horse bandit glared, he swallowed the words again, got up with a face full of grievances, and walked to the temple.

The horse bandit also ignored Lao Huang and Li Fei and walked away.

Li Fei came to Lao Huang's side and said a little anxiously: "Lao Huang, we have to leave quickly." ”

Lao Huang said in surprise: "Where are you going?" ”

Li Fei hurriedly said: "Go to Lingzhou City to report the news!" These people are obviously coming for the world, and I can still make a fortune with the world's reward! ”

"You and Xu Shao will go with me to report the news, if you can save the son, maybe Dazhu Guoyi will be happy, and he will also give you a heavy reward."

Lao Huang couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but his face was silent, and he comforted: "Don't worry, how can the prince of Beiliang be so easy to be killed?" ”

Li Fei frowned and said, "If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if!" ”

Lao Huang said: "But think about it, if we leave now and are discovered by those horse bandits, won't we be dead?" ”

"This ......"

Lao Huang patted him on the arm and persuaded: "If you come, you will be safe, eat meat first, and when the young master comes out, let's discuss and discuss." ”

Seeing this, Li Fei had to say: "Okay then! Do you have any salt? ”

Lao Huang grinned and took out a small gourd from his arms, which he used to hold salt.

Sprinkled the mutton in the bowl with salt, and Li Fei divided some into the old yellow bowl, and then ate it beautifully.

Seeing Li Fei like this, Lao Huang also appreciated him a lot in his heart, and he became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Two bowls of meat, Li Fei ate more than half a bowl, Lao Huang also ate more than half a bowl, and left more than half a bowl for Xu Fengnian.

When Xu Fengnian came back, Lao Huang had just finished gnawing the last lamb rib.

He seemed to be thinking about something at this time, and he didn't pay attention, and snatched the bone from Lao Huang's hand.

Lao Huang hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Xu Fengnian gestured at those horse bandits and said softly: "They are all here to kill me...... Bei Liang Shizi. ”

Li Fei said nervously when he heard this: "So we have to leave quickly!" ”

Xu Fengnian looked at him inexplicably and said, "They came to kill the prince of Beiliang, what does it have to do with you?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Lao Huang couldn't help but smile, told Xu Fengnian what Li Fei said just now, and pretended to ask him what to do now.

Xu Fengnian also laughed dumbly, it turned out that this guy had the idea, but he was wrong to blame him just now.

He gave Li Fei a reassuring look and said, "Lao Huang is right, we can't be in a hurry, even if we want to leave, we have to wait for tomorrow." ”

"They want us to pay attention to the movements of the prince, and they will definitely send us out tomorrow, and if we slip away at that time, we will be foolproof."

After listening to his words, Li Fei finally relaxed and said approvingly: "It makes sense, just do it." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled at him, and subconsciously put the lamb chops in his hand into his mouth, but found that he didn't get the meat after a few bites.

Holding the smooth bones in front of him, he couldn't help but be very depressed, and said angrily: "Why didn't you eat the bowl too?" ”

Lao Huang smiled, took out the half bowl of mutton with salt from his side, and said proudly: "A pinch of salt, full of aroma, long strength, specially added salt, eat slowly, it's all yours." ”

Xu Fengnian turned his anger into joy at this time, took the bowl and grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Why are there so many left?" How much haven't you eaten? ”

Lao Huang looked at Li Fei and said with a smile: "Ah Fei also gave you some shares." ”

When Xu Fengnian heard this, he slapped Li Fei on the shoulder and said, "Good brother." ”

Pingshui met, but after a few days of walking together, he was able to share difficulties and blessings, so he rushed to this, and he recognized Li Fei's brother.

After eating the meat, Lao Huang took off two straw mats from the old horse's back and spread them out together, and the three of them didn't pay attention to it, so they just lay down on the straw mat and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was bright, Li Fei and the beggars were called out by the horse bandits.

Lao Huang gathered the grass mat and was about to put it back on the horse, but found that the horse was missing.

"Young master, our horse doesn't know where to go."

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look around when he heard this, but he only saw the tall horses of those horse bandits, but he didn't see his old horse.

He shouted to the horse bandits, "Where is my horse? How many uncles? See my horse? ”

One of the horse bandits said impatiently: "What are you yelling about?" You don't want to give your broken horse to the master, maybe you ran out to graze. ”

"Now you all go out, disperse to the nearby roads, and report immediately if you find someone suspected of Xu Fengnian."

"If you can find Xu Fengnian, Uncle will give you a good horse."

Xu Fengnian's face was suddenly depressed, who wants your good horse, I want my own old horse.

The old horse accompanied him and Lao Huang to the north and south, traveling six thousand miles of mountains and rivers, in Xu Fengnian's heart, he was no longer a livestock, but a companion.

But he also knew that the old horse knew the way, and that no matter how far away he was, the old horse would walk back to them on his own.

Xu Fengnian was not very anxious, and said to Lao Huang and Li Fei at the moment: "Let's go!" Go out and do things first. ”

Li Fei nodded, brought his musical instruments, and Lao Huang rolled up two straw mats and sandwiched them under his armpits and left the broken temple.

After leaving the broken temple for some distance, Xu Fengnian's whole person relaxed.

He said to Lao Huang proudly: "Those Chu soldiers also know how to buy beggars to spread eyeliner, but fortunately, young master, I am smart." ”

"It's just a little trick to make them think that I am also a Chu person, and the leader last night was deceived by me into crying in that temple!"

Li Fei frowned and said, "Xu Shao, do you mean those horse bandits are the remnants of the Chu army?" ”

Xu Fengnian said: "Yes, they are all the remnants of the Euphorbia in Western Chu. ”

"Back then, in Jinghe, Western Chu, 120,000 Western Chu halberd servants, fought with the Beiliang Iron Cavalry led by Xu Xiao, and the whole army was wiped out, and they were the only ones left."

After listening to Xu Fengnian's words, Li Fei said with a little dissatisfaction: "Xu Shao, with all due respect, back then, the nine countries were divided, and the countries were at war, so that the lives were ruined and the people were not happy. ”

"Dazhu Guo led the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry to wipe out the Six Kingdoms, and only then can Liyang break through the situation and end the chaos in the world, so that there will be peace today."

"Not to mention the merits of Shangzhuguo, just because he is older than you, but your senior, you shouldn't call him by his name."

Xu Fengnian looked at Li Fei in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to look at Xu Xiao like this, but everyone in the world said that Xu Xiao slaughtered more than 70 cities with blood, and he was a butcher who killed countless people." ”

Li Fei snorted coldly and said, "The people in the world in your mouth refer to those sour Confucian scholars who don't understand bullshit and can only talk about misleading the country, right?" ”

"Back then, Emperor Qin swept Liuhe, ended the war in the world, and let go of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in order to show benevolence and righteousness, what was the result?"

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed, and he slowly spit out four words: "The second will die." ”

At this time, he looked at Li Fei's gaze, and there was a little change, as if he didn't expect Li Fei to have such knowledge.

It seems that his origin is not simple, and I don't know who he was before he lost his memory.

Judging from his attitude towards Xu Xiao, if he has a little talent, he can be used by Bei Liang.

Li Fei sighed lightly: "Yes, the second died, and then there were decades of war, and the people suffered from the war, this is the evil result of fighting snakes and not dying." ”

"In order to avoid the lessons of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Great Pillar Kingdom is willing to bear the name of human slaughter, and there is only reverence and no hatred."

Xu Fengnian's heart suddenly swelled with emotion, and he smiled and said, "If Xu ...... Da Zhuguo knows that there is a person like you who understands him in this world, and I think he will be very happy. ”

Li Fei smiled and said, "I believe that in this world, there are not many people who understand the Great Pillar Kingdom. ”

Xu Fengnian smiled and didn't say anything more.

There may be many people who understand Xu Xiao, and even those who attack him may not understand the benefits of what Xu Xiao has done.

In the final analysis, they are just "afraid" of Xu Xiao, including the one who sits on the Ninety-Five Throne.

That's why he Xu Fengnian will become the first gentleman in the world.

Because only if he becomes a gentleman who does not learn and does not know how to do it, can that large number of people rest assured.
