Yu Lie, who was accompanying the seat, only felt that General Shan's interest tonight was extraordinarily high, and he raised his glass frequently, the young man refused to drink, and he was not angry, he just cared about pouring himself a drink, and after a while, he was already a little drunk.

Although Shan Bin also drank, he had never drunk on weekdays, and today was very strange, Yu Lie didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to persuade him, but he was worried that his general would drink and talk nonsense, so he thought about it for a while, and motioned to everyone to retreat, and he stayed in this hall to take care of it.

"Huh? You guys... What are you running, is it possible that I will make you scared?" Shan Bin, who was a little drunk, caught a glimpse of the people slowly withdrawing from the hall, and under the rising wine, his face showed a little anger, and he opened his mouth to shout.

Yu Lie saw that his general was already drunk, so he hurriedly got up and went to help, but was pushed away by Shan Bin, and shouted loudly: "You are here to help, Lao Tzu is not drunk."

Yu Lie saw that the young man was still present, and he was worried that his general would lose his etiquette under his gaffe, so he hurriedly said to the young man: "Let Brother Mu smile, my general rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, and he must have seen Brother Mu today, so he was so happy that he drank a few more glasses."

The young man got up and said with a smile: "General Yu is too worried, it is an honor for the kid to meet General Yanbei, the general is a man of temperament, how dare the kid make fun of him... I think the general is drunk, so I might as well come back tomorrow."

Today's banquet in Shan Mansion was just to introduce the young man, and seeing that he was about to go, he hurriedly supported the slightly swaying Shan Bin again, and at the same time opened his mouth to keep the young man and said, "Brother Mu might as well stay and wait for the general to sober up tomorrow..."

"Thank you for the general's kindness, but this is the General's Mansion after all, if there is a military situation, I am... I'm afraid it's not right," the boy continued.

Yu Lie supported Shan Bin, who was crumbling beside him, and was about to continue to speak, when he suddenly felt that his arm was holding his arm vigorously.

His complexion changed slightly, and he looked sideways, and saw that his general's hazy and drunken eyes were with a hint of sobriety, and he was secretly looking at himself majestically at this time.

"What Brother Mu said is very true, it is for his brother to be abrupt, and he didn't think about it... That's..."

Shan Bin's small movements thought he was hidden, but Gu Xiao's eyes always stayed on him, and he naturally saw it clearly, but his face was silent, and he clenched his fists and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to Yunxiang Pavilion, and wait until the general wakes up tomorrow, and then come to visit."

Shicai was reminded by the general, and Yu Lie had already understood the general's intentions and would no longer keep him.

"In this case, Brother Mu will go back to the inn to rest first, and when the general wakes up tomorrow, I will invite him."

Watching the young man go out and leave and his back disappear into the night, Yu Lie had not yet come back to his senses, but General Shan had already broken free from Yu Lie's arm, there was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes, he squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the direction of the young man's departure fixedly, and spoke softly.

"Yu Lie listens to orders."

Retracting his thoughts, Yu Lie hurriedly saluted and listened to the order: "The end will be!"

"Send the capable people to go out of the city at night and go to Liangzhou to check the details of this young man... Also, the matter of military regulations must not be delayed, the general of the Yanbei battalion has entered the city today, and you command it to go down, and the day of military regulations will be set for the day after tomorrow." Shan Bin's eyes rolled slightly, and he opened his mouth to order.

......

Out of the gate of the Shan Mansion, looking up at the sky, the moon has been hung high, recalling the banquet in the Shan Mansion, although there are verbal temptations, but I can't see that Shan Bin has any malice, I wanted to enter the house to investigate, but I can see more than 100 soldiers wearing armor under the moon, they don't know how long they have been standing outside the door of the Shan Mansion, and they are still tireless.

Gu Xiao temporarily suppressed the idea of exploring the Shan Mansion at night, and made an appointment at the night banquet, and it was not too late to come back tomorrow to investigate, thinking of this, the young man's eyes turned to Yanbei City, thinking of the ancient Xuan that Wu Chang took him to today, and the evening appointment he made with the shopkeeper was not a missed time at the moment.

"Now is the time to explore." Gu Xiao settled his mind, turned over his horse, and went to Tonggu Xuan.

——

The streets are silent, and every house is closed, and only nocturnal foraging rats move through the alleys and move on the streets.

In the middle of the road, the foraging rat suddenly stopped, stood up, and looked vigilantly at the shop beside the road, a pair of dark black eyes

The plaque with "Tonggu Xuan" written on it flashed timidly, and the erected body instantly lowered and fled.

A flash of silver light flashed in the darkness, the blood flashed, the rat suddenly broke into two, died at the corner of the street, and everything returned to normal, only the signboard of "Tonggu Xuan" shone with a strange dark light in the moonlight.

Only the moment the rat was killed, a figure had already swept by, and a moment later, the dead rat corpse and blood stains on the street were gone, as if nothing had happened.

If there are pedestrians passing by, you can't see the clues, but if you have a heart to observe carefully, you can find the strange, where it is close to Tonggu Xuan, no matter the shops, houses, there are no lights.

Although it is still cold in early spring, ordinary people rest early, but only Tongguxuan is faintly lit in this secluded alley, which is still too weird.

In the private house across the road from Tonggu Xuan, several people are hiding in it, the black lights are blinding, and they don't see each other, but there is still a little moonlight through the window lattice and reflected in the house.

Under the moonlight, the hidden black cloth masks of several people, only their eyes were exposed, but their eyes were full of murderous intent, and the cold light in their hands was even more under the moonlight, flashing indoors cold, without thinking too much, you can know the identity of these people's dead killers.

"The young master's order is that after the young man enters the Xuan, he hears the sound of whistles, and rushes into the spot to kill, if he has the sound of smashing, he will be captured, do you all hear clearly?" One of the dead soldiers, staring at the street, whispered a command.

"It's just a young man, and the shopkeeper summoned us people, isn't it a big fuss?" Another of the dead seemed to speak with disdain.

Before the words fell, he felt a chill coming straight to his face, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the leader of the dead soldiers who had just given the order, staring at him with murderous intent.

Only then did the dead man realize that he had said the wrong thing, looked at the murderous gaze, and hurriedly opened his mouth to make amends: "Big brother, I don't mean anything else, it's just a complaint, it's freezing this day, our brother has been squatting for a long time, and still hasn't seen the young man coming, maybe people don't plan to come."

"Don't talk nonsense, the shopkeeper has been ordered by the young master, do you think that your head is a little heavier on your neck, and you want to lose it as soon as possible?" The leader of the dead men spoke softly and coldly, and the killing intent in his eyes was even stronger.

Fear appeared in the dead man's eyes, and he immediately spoke: "Since it is the order of the young master, the subordinates dare not say more."

Seeing this, the leader didn't pursue it anymore, but only said: "Don't dare to be the best, you're afraid that you've lived a comfortable life in this Yanbei City for a long time, do you want to go back to the mountains and pretend to be a bandit, and live that day of being scared and rounded up by the officials and soldiers?"

Xu remembered the days when he was a bandit in the mountains, and the dead soldiers didn't dare to say more, each holding the steel knife in his hand and looking out the window...

Outside Tonggu Xuan, there are many ambushes, and inside Tonggu Xuan, it is another scene, the charcoal fire in the furnace is booming, the shopkeeper is standing on the side, but he can sit on the main seat, but it is not the Jin envoy Lu Remnant, nor the sword elder Xu Mo, nor the young master of the Golden Knife Gate, Wang Heng, but a pale descendant, wearing a brocade robe, slightly cramped.

"Shopkeeper, I..." Hou Sheng seemed to be worried, or was overwhelmed by the silence, and finally couldn't help it, and spoke to the shopkeeper next to him.

"It's your blessing to let you pretend to be a son, just concentrate on remembering what your son has explained, and don't think about anything else." The shopkeeper next to him replied coldly, as if he didn't care what this person thought.

When the young student heard this, he had to shut up, his eyes flickering, staring at the dancing candle flame, his hands in his sleeves, rubbing them constantly, and he could see from his eyes and his restless demeanor that he was uneasy.

The shopkeeper didn't bother to care about it, but kept looking at the empty curtain in the back hall, as if waiting for the order from the curtain at any time...

At this moment, outside Tonggu Xuan, on the silent street, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

"It's coming!"

Everyone inside and outside Tonggu Xuan raised their heads almost at the same time and looked out of the door.

The young offspring who pretended to be a son quickly sat up straight, his face was solemn, and the shopkeeper looked at the door curtain again, and after seeing the door curtain, there was no movement, nodded slightly, and immediately took out the brocade wrapped thing from the young son's side, and walked to Tonggu Xuantang.

The sound of horses' hooves outside the door was approaching, turning over and dismounting,

The sound of stepping in front of the door was a few minutes closer, followed by the sound of a knock on the door.

The shopkeeper had been waiting for a long time, and when there was a knock at the door, he immediately replied, "It's coming!"

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a handsome young man in a green shirt with an ebony wooden box on his back.

However, the shopkeeper has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and has been in the Golden Daomen for many years, just by the young man's star-like eyes, he has instantly recognized this person, it is the "distinguished guest" attracted by the captain at noon, after being stunned for a while, he immediately put on a smiling face, flashed and wanted to say: "I didn't expect your guest to keep the appointment so much, I thought that it was too late today, and the distinguished guest would not come again."

The young man was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect the shopkeeper's eyes to be so vicious, he changed into a green shirt, he thought that the shopkeeper didn't know, but he didn't think that he still recognized himself at a glance, and met the shopkeeper's gaze and smiled: "Since it is an agreement, since it is an agreement, the shopkeeper has good eyesight, I changed my body, and I thought I wanted to explain to the shopkeeper."

"Your guest has praised it, we do antiquities, our eyesight is the entry, whether the antiquities are old, what dynasty and what generation, this glance knows, just like people... No matter how you change your clothes, there's always something that can't be changed, right?" The shopkeeper said with a smile, there was something in the words, and with one hand, he let the young man into the Tonggu Xuan.

The young man walked into Xuan slowly, and when he took the shopkeeper's words, his eyes moved back slightly, and he glanced outside Xuan: "Oh? What does the shopkeeper mean by this, and what are the things that cannot be changed? Please give me some advice."

Seeing that the young man entered the Xuan, there was a faint chill in the smile of the shopkeeper, leading the young man to sit down first, and then he spoke: "If you want to talk about this unchangeable, when it is the eyes of the people, maybe the appearance will change, but the eyes of the people cannot be changed, the guest said, yes or no?"

"Hahaha, what the shopkeeper said is very true, I have been taught..."

The young man withdrew his gaze from the slowly closed door of Tonggu Xuan, looked up and smiled, then turned to the young junior in the main seat of the hall, got up and clenched his fists, and continued to speak.

"Do you want to come to Brother Tai to be the master of this Tonggu Xuan?"

The young junior hurriedly got up and hugged his fists to greet him, but the expression on his face was unnatural: "Today, the shopkeeper reported to me, saying that a young hero came to visit Xuanzhong, and when I saw it tonight, it was so."

Looking at the corner of the lips of the "master" of Tongguxuan, the young man smiled on the corner of his lips, and did not answer, but turned sideways to the hanging curtain in the back hall, as if he wanted to see through it.

Seeing that the young man seemed to have some clues, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the young man from looking at the hanging curtain, and said with a smile: "The noble guest did not say that he was a villain at noon, but said that he wanted to take a step to take the light, and he had to see my master, and it happened that the guest and my master were both young people, so you can talk about the things in your chest."
