In Youzhou, the northernmost part of Beiliang, on the official road near the border, a horse team is looking north along the official road.

Not far from here, it is where the Beiliang Border Pass is located, and when you get out of the Fallen Horse Pass, you will enter the Beimang territory.

The team consisted of more than 30 people, including a carriage covered with oilcloth, which seemed to be a dart team.

And this dart team was the first to ride, and it turned out to be a beautiful woman with narrow sleeves and tight clothes.

She has a green sheath sword hanging from her waist, probably because the long eyes of the autumn water are too cold, and her posture is clear and charming, but she has an inviolable heroic spirit.

Half a horse behind her, there rode the other horse, a young man who was only cleanly dressed.

Although this man is dressed ordinarily, his appearance and temperament are not bad, with a Beiliang knife on his left waist and a slightly longer iron flute pinned to his right waist.

Although the man and the woman in charge walked together, the two did not seem to know each other, and there was no verbal exchange along the way.

Instead, the woman talked to a middle-aged man on the other side on horseback, and talked a few words from time to time.

The woman's name is Liu Nirong, and she is the eldest lady of a third-rate gang in Lingzhou City, the "Fish Dragon Gang".

Originally, the Ichthyosaurus Gang did not do dart business, but this trip was to send a batch of goods to Liucheng on the border of Beimang for a powerful person in Lingzhou City.

The biggest purpose is to climb some official connections so that the gang can survive.

The horse team was walking on its own, and a melodious flute suddenly came from the front, Liu Nirong looked closely, but saw that dozens of feet in front of him, there was an ox cart moving slowly.

The ox cart was a flatbed cart used by ordinary people to haul some firewood and miscellaneous items, and there was no carriage.

There were bundles of hemp poles on the cart, and two figures were sitting side by side on the hemp poles, facing the back of the cart.

One of them was a slender figure, presumably a woman, playing a short flute.

The distance is a little far, in fact, Liu Nirong didn't see the details clearly, and the reason why she guessed that it was a piccolo was judged from the timbre.

The piccolo has a crisp and melodious sound, and the flute has a deep and deep sound.

To Liu Nirong's surprise, after the flute sounded for a while, a song sounded, which was a very magnetic and beautiful male voice, which was sung by the man next to the woman who played the flute.

"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are picturesque, see the winter go to spring, and thousands of rivers enter the sea and ......shine with the sun and the moon."

"Thousands of years of beauty like jade, who steps on the snow to find plums, tens of thousands of fishing lights and sails, singing the sunset red drunk ......"

"Thousands of years have passed, who can always win and not lose? There are no tears in the rivers and lakes, the love of children is long, and there are countless heroes and heroes......"

"Thousands of years have passed, who can always win and not lose? Speaking of heroes, who are heroes? How many people are smiling proudly? Smiling proud ......"

The song stops, the flute sounds.

Liu Nirong heard the ripples in her eyes, The deputy leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang who walked beside her, Liu Nirong's art teacher Xiao Qiang stroked his hands and praised: "Good words, good songs." ”

"Compared with 'Beiliang Jagged Millions of Households' and 'Loyal to the Country' or something, this is the song that belongs to the rivers and lakes."

Liu Nirong smiled: "I don't know what kind of master of the rivers and lakes can write such a good song." ”

Xiao Qiang smiled and said: "A master may not be, but he must be a strange person." ”

The young man walking on the other side of Liu Nirong heard the words of the two, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked into a smile.

He pulled the iron flute from his waist and brought it to his lips to play.

Liu Nirong and Xiao Qiang frowned slightly, and they all turned their heads to look at the young man.

Without knowing the identity of the other party, it is not a wise act to disturb others Yaxing so recklessly.

But then their brows relaxed, and they looked at this young man with a little surprise, who was sent out by the powerful family in Lingzhou to supervise the transportation of goods.

Because the low flute sound he played was perfectly in harmony with the crisp flute, without the slightest sense of abrupt disturbance, but gave the song a little more distant artistic conception.

But for those who like music, there is nothing happier than meeting a bosom friend, and the flute played by this young man will most likely not be disgusted by the other party.

The ox cart was slower, because the oxen were bulky and not as light as the horses, and in a few moments the two sides were much closer.

At this time, the song sounded again, and seemed to be a little more joyful than Fang Cai, and was obviously very pleased with the harmony of this deep flute.

"Who can be the master of the four seas, thinking of the world, who can brush the clothes and the five lakes, and fish the end of the world and the moon......"

"Who can be brave and smiling, who can cook wine with green plums, and talk about the heroes of the world......"

"Thousands of years have passed, who can always win and not lose? There are no tears in the rivers and lakes, the love of children is long, and there are countless heroes and heroes......"

"Thousands of years have passed, who can always win and not lose? Speaking of heroes, who are heroes? How many people are smiling proudly? Laughing proudly. ”

The last sentence is proud of the rivers and lakes, and the tone is suddenly raised, which is quite impassioned.

The harmony between the crisp flute and the deep flute also reached a peak, and finally stopped invariably.

Liu Nirong looked at the young man's gaze, but she was a little more appreciative, not as cold as before.

A person with a skill is always more likely to make people feel good than a good-for-nothing anointed child.

The young man is naturally our Royal Highness Xu Fengnian, but he is not his true face at the moment.

is not wearing a human skin mask produced by Shu Xi, for Li Fei, the method of changing his appearance is simply not too simple.

And it's much safer to use this method than a human skin mask.

In a few moments, the horse team and the ox cart were close to less than ten feet, and they finally saw the faces of the two people on the ox cart.

And when they saw each other's appearances clearly, both men and women in the horse team were amazed.

The ox cart should be a husband and wife, and the reason for this speculation is because the woman has a woman's hairstyle on her head.

The man had a plump and handsome face, looking twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a relaxed and gentle bearing, and although he was only wearing an ordinary coarse cloth gown, it did not detract from his leisurely and elegant temperament.

The woman is also in her twenties, wearing a blue cloth skirt, with a graceful figure, and an ordinary silver hairpin on her head, which can be bought for 180 yuan at a roadside stall.

But she has a beautiful face, but her temperament is a little cold and indifferent, holding a bamboo piccolo in her hand.

In the eyes of Xiao Qiang and others, no matter how humble this woman is, how can she marry a small wealthy family with this face and figure.

But she chose this man, obviously belonging to true love.

Liu Nirong also thought of this, and looked at the woman's gaze, which gave her a little more affection.

There is no doubt that this couple is Li Fei and Xu Weixiong.

They are also not their original appearance at the moment, because with the battle of the reeds, Li Fei has long been as famous as Wen Hua.

For this Ma Ye of Beiliang County, who was riding a tiger and defeated five thousand Qingzhou cavalry in the reeds, the spies of all forces had already sent the portrait back.

Not to mention Xu Weixiong, as the second county lord of Beiliang, the most famous student of Shangyin Academy, even if there is no Martial Emperor Chengtou Tianlongqin to show her power, there are not many people in the world who don't know her.

As for why the two of them want to change into such handsome men and beautiful women, but they don't have any origin at first glance, and they have a poor and sour virtue, which is naturally to cause trouble.

How can a powerless and powerless low-level person, with a stunning beauty swaggering through the market, like a three-year-old child holding gold in his hand, not attract covetous eyes?

Walking the rivers and lakes, what is walking the rivers and lakes if you don't kill the scum?

is because of their trip to Beimang, not only to kill the famous masters of Beimang, but also some scum who are interested in seeing color, which is also their goal.

Because there are fewer scum, the people will be better, not to mention that there are so many injustices in the world, how much can they manage.

If Li Fei really wants to take care of it, it is a matter of thought.

Just write a sentence in the Book of Heavenly Dao, which sins should be killed, and immediately a heavenly thunder will descend and chop all the people involved to death, which is called Heaven's will.

Providence, that is, Li Fei's will.

After the two sides approached, Li Fei stood up from the ox cart, clasped his fists at Liu Nirong and his party and smiled: "I don't know which friend Fang is in tune with the sound of the flute?" ”

Xu Fengnian shook the iron flute in his hand with a smile and said, "Dare to ask Brother Tai, who composed the lyrics and music just now?" ”

Li Fei said with a smile: "It's just that it's not talented, the so-called daughter is easy to get, and it's hard to find a bosom friend. ”

After speaking, he hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Li Xiaoyao, this is the clumsy Jing Lin Yueru, who did not ask his godbrother Taigao's surname?" ”

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Under Xu Qi, I don't dare to agree with Brother Li's words, a daughter is never easy to get, if you really have a daughter, there will be no less confidants." ”

"Besides, if it was really easy to get money, Brother Li would not be in such a situation, and he couldn't even buy a good piece of jewelry for his sister-in-law."

As soon as Xu Fengnian's words came out, Liu Nirong's good impression of him that had just risen suddenly became worse than before.

His words are not only vulgar and insulting to the rhythm, but also wantonly trampling on the kindness of others, which is really disgusting.

Liu Nirong is a fledgling, with a clear mind and a very shallow view of problems.

But Xiao Qiang and other old rivers and lakes agreed with Xu Fengnian's words very much, because what he said was the most realistic problem, but he was impressed by him.

That Li Xiaoyao seems to be elegant and chic, but in fact, he has no responsibility as a man.

only cares about his own indulgence in music and rhythm, but he doesn't think about how to make his wife live a good life.

If he really wants to, with his talent in music, he can find a high-ranking family to be a Qingke, and he will not be mixed up like this.

His wife is really a flower stuck in cow dung, but looking at his wife's appearance, it is obvious that she is willing to live a hard life with her, but others can't care about it.

I thought it was some kind of strange person in the rivers and lakes, a strange person with bullshit, two people with brain problems, and they thought they were chic fools.

Xu Weixiong glanced at Xu Fengnian, turned his head to Li Fei and said, "Where are there so many bosom friends in the world?" People don't look down on you at all, just because you like to be amorous. ”

After listening to Xu Fengnian and Xu Weixiong's words, Li Fei was not annoyed, but just smiled lightly at Xu Fengnian: "It's under Meng Lang, excuse me." ”

After saying that, he sat down and no longer looked at the horse team.

Liu Nirong originally wanted to make friends with the couple, but it can be seen that the couple has no interest in talking, and she is not easy to talk to rashly.

couldn't help but glance at Xu Fengnian with some annoyance, knocked his feet lightly on the horse's belly, and sped up to move forward, so as not to be embarrassed.

When the others saw her speeding up, they all followed with a slight acceleration, and soon overtook the ox cart.

Only then did it become clear that the ox cart was driven by an old farmer with gray hair, and the couple should have been temporarily hitched on the road.

The ox cart was soon left far behind, and Liu Nirong slowed down her horse.

She still couldn't hold back after all, turned her head to Xu Fengnian and asked, "Since you look down on others and don't want to make friends, why do you want to match other people's flutes?" ”

Xu Fengnian glanced at him and said lightly: "It is precisely because I can afford them that I don't want to make friends with them, I may be bosom friends with them, but we are by no means like-minded people." ”

"Making friends with me is a blessing or a curse for them, everyone just meets in the water, and it's okay to have a song together, so it's better not to be implicated."

Liu Nirong was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

It turns out that this is the case, they are people in the rivers and lakes, doing the work of dancing on the tip of the knife, this trip to the north, I don't know how many difficulties and dangers are waiting for them ahead.

That couple is just two ordinary people, if they are mixed with them, maybe they will be affected by them, and instead of befriending, it will be a kind of protection for them.

After thinking about this, the anger in her heart that arose because she couldn't make friends with two elegant people, disappeared without a trace.

After the misunderstanding of Xu Fengnian was resolved, his good impression of him increased.

Xiao Qiang on the other side smiled at Xu Fengnian and said: "Xu Gongzi can think of this, obviously he is not a young man who has no experience in the rivers and lakes, but I will leave before I wait." ”

Xu Fengnian asked rhetorically: "Why does Senior Xiao think that the General's Mansion will send a straw bag who doesn't know anything to be responsible for such an important matter?" ”

“……”

Xiao Qiang's smile stiffened, and he became a little reluctant, this kid has experience in the rivers and lakes, but this person's sophistication is far from perfect, and it is too easy to offend people when he speaks.

Maybe the General's Mansion sent him out with the original intention of honing and honing his aspects! After he has suffered a few losses, he will know how to talk to others.

Silence returned to the team, Liu Nirong and Xiao Qiang lost their interest in talking, and Xu Fengnian was naturally happy.

The reason why he followed the Ichthyosaurus Gang was just to hide his identity through them, and he had no interest in befriending them.

On the contrary, the less familiar they are with themselves, the less likely they are to be exposed.

After walking for half an hour, a pass appeared on the horizon, which was the pass at the junction of Beiliang and Beimang.

The city is built by the mountain, located in the north and south shortcuts, and the merchants come and go in an endless stream.

The markets on both sides of the city gate road are very lively, and there are few soldiers here, which is much less solemn than most of the border gates.

In the bazaar, there is the ruins of an old castle tower, made of rubble and cobblestones, cracks, moss, rubble, and many children who live near the castle chase and play on it.

Usually, there are also some people in the rivers and lakes who compete in martial arts and teach skills on this platform, and the residents of the villages near the Tuma Pass have long been surprised.

When the ox cart in which Li Fei and Xu Weixiong were riding arrived, there was already a big man on the pedestal who was holding a horse chopping knife, competing with a white-clothed swordsman, and Liu Nirong and his party watched it with relish in the audience.

The old farmer who drove the ox cart was a villager from this nearby village, and Li Fei took out more than a dozen copper plates as a token of thanks, and after retrieving his luggage, the old farmer happily drove the ox cart away.

He just went to the field to collect some hemp stalks, and met a young couple on the way, and kindly took them on a ride, and these dozen copper plates were an unexpected joy.

At this time, Li Fei was carrying a cloth bag that looked like a Yueqin behind his back, and Xu Weixiong had the piccolo in his waist and a small burden on his shoulder.

The two turned their heads and looked around, and soon found where Xu Fengnian was.

He was crouching on a pile of adobe walls, holding a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand and nibbling on them.

Beside him sat a childish child, holding Xu Fengnian's Beiliang knife in his arms.

What made Xu Weixiong stare involuntarily was that behind Xu Fengnian and the child, there was still a soft girl with a cloth skirt and a hairpin, but her appearance and figure were excellent.
