In the elegantly furnished hall, there are no dancing female musicians, no maids, only two men who have reunited after a long absence, and they drink all the rice wine in each cup.

"Brother Meng, I toast you.

It's not easy to sit down and drink with you again, so we're going to get drunk today......"

After not seeing each other for three years, Daniel Zhang and Meng Xiuyuan still had no strange intentions, and said with a smile, and this tower-like man lifted the wine glass and drank it all, his eyes full of sincere joy.

"Okay, let's get drunk."

Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to personally fill the wine glass for Daniel Zhang, but there was a slight heaviness in his eyes, deliberately avoiding the other party's empty left sleeve.

Daniel Zhang didn't seem to notice Meng Xiuyuan's strangeness, and still excitedly told Meng Xiuyuan about his feelings:

"Brother Meng, you don't know, in the past few years, I have received the news that you have killed the demons of the Demon Gate and eliminated the harm for the people several times, and I feel excited, and I can't help but want to come to you to get together.

It's a pity that you don't see the end of the dragon, and every time I rush to the place to inquire, it's a step too late, and I heard that you just left.

And when I heard that you were killing the Quartet in Luoyang this time, you were far away in the south of the Yangtze River, thousands of miles away.

I thought I would never be able to catch up to see you, but I didn't think about it, but I got my wish.

Hehe, it seems that my Daniel Zhang luck is not always so bad......"

Daniel Zhang's eyes were clear and his words were sincere, which made Meng Xiu's vision move in his heart. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly:

"Yongzi, how have you been doing all these years?

I heard Li Jing say, you voted for the Wagangzhai Righteous Army back then, and now, are you still under their command? ”

Daniel Zhang shook his head when he heard this, and explained to Meng Xiuyuan quite freely:

"I'm gone, I don't have anything to do with Wagangzhai anymore.

Back then, because of the Su Su girl, I was originally under the command of Zhai Rang, the big boss of Wagangzhai. Who knew that not long after I entered the village, Li Mi suddenly launched a rebellion.

The big boss was killed by Li Mi, and most of the people in Wagang Village were also collected by him.

I didn't want to follow this sinister villain, so I escaped.

Maybe they didn't think I was a nobody, so they didn't bother me again......"

Meng Xiuyuan was silent when he heard this, but he didn't expect Daniel Zhang's righteous road to be so tortuous.

Thinking about it carefully, the "Susu girl" in Daniel Zhang's mouth is the personal maid that Zhai Rang's only daughter attaches the most importance to, and from this relationship, Daniel Zhang should be regarded as the concubine of Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagangzhai.

Obviously, although Daniel Zhang brought the matter over in a few words, his actual situation at that time would never be as easy as he said.

When Daniel Zhang mentioned the Susu girl, there was a little sadness in his eyes, and the ending of the relationship between the two was not too good.

Meng Xiuyuan was unwilling to expose Daniel Zhang's sore spots, so he simply quietly changed the topic:

"Well, it's okay if you're not in the army, I think Nawa Gangzhai will be rare in the end......

That's right, Yuko.

Have you been home in the past few years, and what is the situation at home? ”

Daniel Zhang listened to Meng Xiuyuan talk about this, and he was very grateful in his heart, and his originally slightly gloomy expression quickly disappeared, and he immediately drank another glass of wine and replied with a smile:

"Returned, everything was fine.

Thanks to Brother Meng, you reminded me last time, I have already asked my father and mother to take out the tavern and settle down in the Lingnan Song Lord's forces.

Cuishan Town was hit by the disaster a few years ago, and they happened to escape it and did not get affected by it......"

"Cuishan Town has been plagued by soldiers? Which force did it? When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he immediately asked.

Between the words, Meng Xiuyuan's mind came to the image of the originally peaceful and peaceful Jiangnan town being destroyed in the war at this moment, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's expression, Daniel Zhang understood his thoughts very well, patted his chest, and said proudly to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Who else could it be, naturally the unscrupulous and inhuman brutes of the Iron Riders.

But Brother Meng, don't worry, I have avenged those villagers who were oppressed.

The leader of the Iron Cavalry Club, 'Qingjiao', Ren Shaoming, was cut off by my own hands! ”

Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and felt incredulous:

"Ren Shaoming was actually killed by you?"

On the Tianjin Bridge before, "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao came to attack with a group of Tiele masters, saying that it was for his son Ren Shaoming to avenge Meng Xiuyuan.

At that time, Meng Xiuyuan thought about it in his heart, and he didn't know which righteous man made the move and attributed the credit to him.

This question has troubled Meng Xiuyuan for a long time, and he has never known the answer, but he did not expect that it was Daniel Zhang.

Although Meng Xiuyuan had never fought with this young man personally, judging from his identity, he knew that this person's martial arts skills must not be low. After all, he is the son of Qu Ao, the first master of Tiele, and he is supported by the Yin Sect, so he obviously shouldn't be an ordinary person.

Daniel Zhang has only been practicing martial arts for three or four years, and although he has been instructed by Meng Xiuyuan, he really shouldn't have such a high ability.

Daniel Zhang smiled, scratched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment:

"I can't do it alone, someone else went to assassinate me together.

It is also thanks to Brother Meng, you taught me horizontal practice kung fu, so that I can practice my body very strongly.

That Ren Shaoming was careless, and when he saw that I was not really angry, he didn't take me seriously.

I deliberately sold a flaw and asked him to chop off my strongest left arm. When his knife got stuck in my bones, I took out his ...... with a backhand."

While speaking, Daniel Zhang swung his left sleeve, and continued to Meng Xiuyuan with a smile as if he didn't care at all:

"That Ren Shaoming couldn't have guessed until he died, there was a genius like you, Brother Meng, in the world, who created such a magical kung fu, so that a dull person like me could become a master.

It's a pity that the events of that night are not easy to spread, otherwise, one arm of my nobody, can be exchanged for the life of a big man like him, and it can be regarded as a strange anecdote in the rivers and lakes......"

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he looked at Daniel Zhang in front of him and frowned slightly, and he was quite emotional in his heart.

Since the meeting just now, Meng Xiuyuan has not mentioned Daniel Zhang's missing arm, and even his eyes have deliberately avoided it, in order not to let Daniel Zhang mention the sad matter.

Unexpectedly, Daniel Zhang took the initiative to talk about this matter at this moment, and he looked so light.

Meng Xiuyuan couldn't guess whether he really didn't care at all, or if he was pretending to be free and easy, and his mind was complicated for a while, and he didn't know how to speak.

After a while, he sighed lightly and said to Daniel Zhang in a deep voice:

"Yongzi, it's not good for me.

Now that I know what is going on with this Shadowy Sect and the Iron Riders, I should have found time to slaughter this beast.

No matter how bad it is, I should give you a contact so that you can find me after you encounter something.

You are innocent of missing this arm, and I am half of the responsibility for it......"

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan like this, Daniel Zhang smiled cheekily, waved his hand and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Brother Meng, you're too worried.

After killing that thief, I was afraid of being retaliated against by the forces behind him and implicating my parents at home, so I borrowed your chivalrous name to stay.

I don't know how to thank you for that one thing alone.

Besides, I knew where you were and wouldn't have asked you for help.

After all, I may not have come across such a good opportunity a few times in my life, so how could I give it up......"

While speaking, Daniel Zhang couldn't help but raise his head and drink another glass of wine, his face was slightly red, and he said happily with a little alcohol:

"Brother Meng, do you remember, I told you.

The reason why I followed in your footsteps and came out of that tavern was to see the vastness of the world and to experience the wonders of my only once life.

I'm not a genius like you, I can easily trample all the masters in the world under my feet, and look at the huge forces of the Four Great Gate Valves, the Buddha Gate, and the Demon Gate.

Being able to eliminate harm for the people and personally kill Ren Shaoming, a thief with strong martial arts and terrifying power, is probably the most exciting thing that an ordinary person can do in his life.

After this experience, when I close my eyes forever in the future, I will look back on my life, and maybe I will not have any regrets, but I will be proud of myself.

What is an arm compared to that......"

Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and was silent for a long time. He suddenly felt that he had never really understood this "little fan brother" who was always chasing after him.

Daniel Zhang, who had already drunk to the point of being drunk, saw Meng Xiuyuan like this, but he didn't think much about it, just picked up the wine jug, filled the wine glass for Meng Xiuyuan, and drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp, before then pouring out with some vagueness:

Meng ...... Brother Meng, you are the most grateful and admired person in my life.

If it weren't for you to take me to broaden my knowledge and teach me unique martial arts, people like me would have been able to spend my life in mediocrity and chaos.

So over the years, I've been learning from you, consciously or unconsciously.

Listening to you kill demons everywhere and eliminate harm for the people, I also want to help.

It's a pity that my skills are limited, except for this great opportunity to kill Ren Shaoming, I can only do some small things at other times.

However, when I ambushed and killed Ren Shaoming, I got another piece of news by chance, which was very important.

I haven't talked to anyone about this, but I'm talking to you alone......"

Between words, Daniel Zhang had barely turned over the wine table, crawled to Meng Xiuyuan's side, and said vaguely in his ear:

"I've heard that the Demon Gate has infiltrated the Li Valve and is colluding with the Turks to secretly control this force with the best chance of unifying the world.

I heard that you have a good relationship with Li Valve's second son, you must be small in this matter...... Be careful...... Whew"

Before he finished speaking, Daniel Zhang had already slowly lay down beside Meng Xiuyuan and snored softly.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't care too much when he heard this, just shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand and lifted it lightly, and put Daniel Zhang's heavy body lightly on the soft bed for people to rest on the side of the hall.

Sitting back at the wine table, Meng Xiuyuan continued to pour himself a drink, recalling Daniel Zhang's various words just now, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

About half an hour later, Li Jing and Li Shimin pushed the door and came over, and seeing that Daniel Zhang was already drunk on the side, the two of them only laughed, and they were not surprised.

The reason why they did not show up as the hosts of this banquet just now was that they were thoughtful and wanted to give Meng Xiuyuan and Daniel Zhang, two old friends, time to catch up alone. At this moment, seeing Daniel Zhang drunk, he also knew that the two had just drunk to the fullest, and he was happy for Meng Xiuyuan.

There was nothing superfluous, Li Shimin just asked someone to add a few more side dishes, took a few pots of warm wine, and then served it with Li Jing, and drank it together with Meng Xiuyuan.

Between pushing the cups and changing the lamps, Li Shimin and Li Jing only chatted with Meng Xiuyuan and talked about their own old things, and did not mention anything serious that would ruin the atmosphere, let alone talk about topics such as "He's Bi" and "Cihang Jingzhai".

Half an hour later, when the cups and plates were messy and everyone was already happy, Meng Xiuyuan smiled suddenly, and took the initiative to speak to the two people in front of him:

"Brother Li, Brother Shimin, I wonder if you two have any silver on you?"

The two were quite surprised when they heard this, and they couldn't figure out what Meng Xiuyuan's intentions were, but they immediately took out their money bags and handed them to Meng Xiuyuan. When I opened it, there was a mixture of gold and silver, adding up to about a dozen taels.

"If Brother Meng is in a hurry to use the money, I will ask someone ......to send it," Li Shimin said immediately.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head with a smile and said:

"No, I'm just a little bit of a circle, that's enough.

In that case, I can't take advantage of Brother Shimin in vain.

I got a piece of jade by chance, and it's useless to keep it, so I'll give it to you......"

As he spoke, Meng Xiuyuan had already taken out a jade seal and put it on the wine table without care.

The ending is just right here, so I won't force the word count.

If there are fewer words, I will make up for the plot tomorrow if the plot is suitable.
