Hearing this, Xu Huabiao's heart, which was still hanging, completely let go.

Although it is remembered because of that knife, it is not a very long-faced thing to say......

Following the young man who was quite energetic and turned two corners all the way, Xu Huabiao came to the hall in the backyard of the blacksmith shop.

Inside, a middle-aged man was sharpening with a knife.

is a middle-aged man with a very honest face at first glance.

"Mr. Xu has arrived." The "bellows puller" who came in with Xu Huabiao said to the middle-aged man.

"Alright, you can go out." The middle-aged man didn't look at the young man, just nodded.

The young man smiled at Xu Huabiao, as if he was quite accustomed to the feeling of this middle-aged man who was a little unseen, and walked out of the hall.

"You are the person who Brother Zhong arranged to connect with me?" Xu Huabiao asked.

"Yes, have you found a place to stay?" The middle-aged man finally put down the knife in his hand and looked at Xu Huabiao.

"Outside the city." Xu Huabiao nodded.

"Then you can take me there." The middle-aged man took off the apron he was wearing, and wiped his hands by the way, "When you go back, whatever happened in Chang'an City, I will report it to you, so you don't have to go into the city often." Otherwise, people will always be seen when they come and go. In that case, Mr. will come out in vain. ”

"Hmm...... OK. Xu Huabiao nodded, "But before I go, I have to go buy something first." ”

"Shopping?"

"What I found was a deserted house with nothing in it, so I had to prepare something for food, clothing, and shelter."

"I'll bring it to you tomorrow." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "At this time, some of these things are too eye-catching to bring out from Chang'an City, if they are noticed by some spies, they may not be able to produce any baskets." It's safer for me to arrange for someone to deal with it. ”

“…… That's fine. Xu Huabiao nodded.

……

Xu Huabiao walked out of the blacksmith shop first, took an axe given to him by the middle-aged man, pretended to have just bought it from the blacksmith shop, and walked out of Chang'an City directly, and then waited for a while under a "crooked-necked old tree" more than a mile south of the city, and saw the middle-aged man who went out of the city separately from him, and then took the middle-aged man back to the abandoned house according to his memory.

The middle-aged man wrote down the place, told Xu Huabiao a few words of lurking key points, turned around and left.

From beginning to end, he barely said anything superfluous, and he looked like he was completely businesslike.

In this regard, Xu Huabiao didn't feel anything wrong, after all, people only dealt with him here because of Kim Jong Kook's face, and he couldn't say that he was familiar with it, and he couldn't ask people to be too enthusiastic.

It wasn't until the middle-aged man left, under Xu Huabiao's questioning, that he knew that this man's name was Lin Changzheng.

Lying on the tattered clay kang, Xu Huabiao kept thinking about the middle-aged man who had just left.

There was a sense of déjà vu on his face, but he never seemed to have heard of it.

So, he was sure that this person should not be a very powerful person.

It's just that he can get the trust of Kim Jong Kook and Song Jong Ki and hand over such a secret matter to him, so he should be able to be regarded as the absolute confidant of the two.

And this person seems to be completely worthy of the trust of the two.

The next morning, three people came to this dilapidated courtyard, put some of the dry food they brought with them in the room, and directly started to help Xu Huabiao repair the dilapidated thatched house.

These three people are not people Xu Huabiao knows, it seems that Lin Changzheng temporarily hired them from somewhere, and they look very skilled in repairing the house, and naturally they are very fast, and in a whole day, this originally dilapidated house looks no different from almost all the houses in the neighborhood.

After that, Xu Huabiao lived here.

Compared with the days when he basically opened his mouth every day in Chang'an City, he had to cook by himself every day in this place, and from time to time in order to improve his food, he had to go to a small river ditch not far away to fish or something, which seemed to be a lot more difficult, but this also made Xu Huabiao find something to do every day in addition to the routine exercise and martial arts exercises in the morning, basically two meals a day, and after eating, the day was basically over.

In Xu Huabiao's impression, this is very similar to the style of a variety show called three hours and three meals that he saw in his "previous life......

Time passed quickly, half a month passed.

Basically, every day, different people come to this place with some message.

Most of them are words like "don't read it if your home is healthy".

Finally, half a month later, a passer-by brought a message of "Your brother and Uncle Jin have met above", which finally updated Xu Huabiao's information here.

However, after two days, it seemed that calm had returned to it.

Xu Huabiao waited for the news of the sudden change in Chang'an City almost every day, but just like all conspiracies, they will not be achieved overnight.

Timing is more important than anything else.

Waiting is the hardest part.

Xu Huabiao can only let himself have something to do every day, so that he will not be a little unbearable because of waiting.

On this day, after lunch, he felt that the weather was too hot, and went to swim in the small ditch where he fished.

It was the height of summer, and the person who felt hot was definitely not Xu Huabiao.

But because the place where he is located and this small river ditch are not a place with special scenery, so during this period of time, Xu Huabiao, who often comes here to fish in the water, has not seen anyone else.

Only today, when he was lying on his back floating on the river to enjoy the coolness and quiet, he suddenly heard a woman's scream not far away.

Xu Huabiao, who was swimming naked, was so frightened that he almost choked and drowned in the river.

After finally climbing ashore and getting dressed, he saluted the red-faced woman.

It was a very beautiful face. It's slightly round, but it's only the size of a palm, and its facial features are very gentle, not sharp at all.

At first glance, it looks like a scholarly family.

"This young lady is rude, just ...... Well...... I really didn't think anyone would appear here. ”

Talking to such a girl, Xu Huabiao himself unconsciously became crepe.

"I'm just traveling...... Well...... I accidentally got lost, so I came here...... "The girl is obviously more flustered than Xu Huabiao. "I was supposed to leave, but ...... I've been walking for a long time, and I want to ask someone for directions......"

"Miss, you came out of Chang'an City, right? Are you looking for a way back to Chang'an City? ”

“…… I'm not in a hurry to go back......"

The girl's expression was a little flustered.

However, he quickly calmed down.

"You...... Do you know how to get to Chenliu? ”

The girl looked at Xu Huabiao with very serious eyes.

"Chen Liu......"

Xu Huabiao's face was speechless.
