Gu Laosan and Lin Manliu chatted a few more words of gossip in front of the villagers, and then completely dispelled their concerns.

Then Yijian Villa and the others, under the leadership of Gu Laosan, rushed to the village not far ahead.

Compared to others, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi have walked this northbound road for the second time.

Previously, at the suggestion of that Zhou Mo, they went to the eastern capital together, and finally met Mr. Qinglan and his wife Su Miannuan again in the suburbs, and even got acquainted with Shen Qian Pei Nuxia.

Looking at the scenery as they saw last year, both of them couldn't help but recall the experience of that winter day.

Lin Manliu said casually: "Now I don't know what happened to that Brother Zheng..."

Yue Hanzhi responded: "It is not bad to let the villagers spontaneously defend the old and weak women and children, and they have not abandoned the village when they heard about the war, right?" ”

Indeed, whether it is Gu Laosan, who looked like a ruffian and hooligan when he first met, or these young and strong men who are now maintaining the stability of the village together, they are all driven by Zheng Lian behind them to promote the current situation.

Lin Manliu glanced sideways at Gu Laosan, who noticed the young man's gaze and hurriedly stepped forward.

At this moment, he is exactly the same as when he recognized his youth, and his face is full of flattery.

The boy felt a little uncomfortable and shrank his head to himself.

Seeing this, Gu Laosan immediately explained: "When I first met last year, I was only impressed by the skills of the hero, and when I saw you again today, I saw the hero's martial posture clearly, like the immortal who fell from the sky..."

Lin Manliu quickly raised his hand and stopped Gu Laosan's words.

He said: "If you boast, you will be exempted, Brother Gu really has to change these problems if he has time..."

Gu Laosan laughed out loud with a stammering face: "That... Can you call Liu Daxia like Brother Zheng? Or Lin Daxia? ”

The yin and yang weirdness that Ye Dang heard just now, Gu Laosan naturally heard it in his ears, even if he hadn't seen it, he had heard Zheng Lian talk about some of the travel experiences of the knights of the rivers and lakes...

It is said that almost most knights will use some pseudonyms in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, or to avoid being targeted by enemies.

When he met this young chivalrous guest last year, he once signed up for his own number: Yijian Villa, Liu Manlin.

See you today, Yijian Villa should be solid, and Liu Manliu is almost clear that he is a pseudonym who is away from home.

Lin Manliu joked: "Brother Gu is actually quite keenly observant sometimes, why was he so easy to be confused before?" ”

Gu Laosan coughed dryly twice and explained: "It was all dogs fighting people before, so don't make fun of me..."

Lin Manliu responded: "Brother Gu just shouts Little Brother Lin, I have heard too much about chivalry, and I always feel that it is some swearing..."

It's all that old liar, who disgusts him with Lin Daxia all day long, and now hearing the word Daxia can make Lin Manliu chuckle twice in his heart.

Gu Laosan said with a smile: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and shout out to Little Brother Lin first!" I met Brother Zheng later, and I can be a little older than him for the time being, so I'm comfortable! ”

From this Gu Laosan's tone, he could also hear that Zheng Lian did have some ways.

Although the conduct of the people under his command is uneven, it is not easy for them to abide by their duties under them.

Lin Manliu said: "If Brother Gu wants to, when he meets Brother Zheng, he can help sell Guanzi!" ”

Hearing that the young man wanted to help himself "make it bad", Gu Laosan's whole person laughed loudly directly, and his mouth was about to grin to the back of his head.

"This is a trip, and you can take advantage of Brother Zheng! Brothers, you can watch Brother Zheng's jokes later! ”

The villagers behind him also laughed with Gu Laosan, and a few of them even got closer and talked about some interesting things.

It sounds like the meaning is that over the years, Gu Laosan has suffered those losses at Zheng Lian's hands, and how was he called by Zheng Lian to teach him a face-to-face lesson...

Gu Laosan listened to these words, and his face was not half annoyed.

As if no matter how much these villagers ridiculed, he remained still, and even a smile appeared on his face.

Compared with the previous years, he Gu Laosan is too hard this year!

Lin Manliu looked at his current appearance, and felt a little more admiration in his heart.

The young man spoke up again: "Whether it's Brother Zheng or Brother Gu, the two of you can do things like this, and you are worthy of the word 'chivalry' in your heart!" ”

This time, Gu Laosan didn't answer as flatteringly as before, he just nodded silently and clenched his fists.

Thousands of miles of swords, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, it is a chivalrous person who dares to be the first in the world.

It is chivalrous who protects the village and guards it, abides by its heart, and does not let the weak be bullied.

And they did!

......

The mountain road is not long, and it didn't take long to see the whole village.

The familiar village post station is not far ahead.

Lin Manliu briefly mentioned some precautions for entering the village to the senior brothers behind him.

Then the young man and the woman in blue beside him made eye contacts, and the two of them hurried to the village entrance post station.

The horses' hooves trampled on the dirt floor, making a brisk sound that made the innkeeper stick his head out and look at it.

First of all, he found the figure of the two riders, and he was about to shout, the guest officer was still staying in the hotel!

As a result, when he saw the group of people behind the two horsemen, he immediately retracted into the post station, and no longer dared to look out.

These days, it is all pedestrians who go south to avoid trouble, and the villagers in the village are also hiding at home, and he is alone in the post station at this time.

The innkeeper's legs trembled, and he didn't dare to look out.

But as the sound of the horses' hooves drew nearer, he shrank under the counter as if he were about to lose his guts.

At last the sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the innkeeper's heart was like ashes, and he sat down weakly.

Lin Manliu shouted: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, the kid is just passing by here and wants to buy some tea!" ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to reply, so the boy had to take some money out of his bosom and put it on the table.

"I put the money on the table, and the shopkeeper will take it himself later, and I will return it when the teapot is used up!"

Hearing the young man's words, the shopkeeper of the post station was even more heartbroken.

He immediately spoke up: "Teapot... We don't want it! Forehead... And the money... Let's not accept it, the little brother will take it as soon as possible! ”

Lin Manliu heard the timidity in the other party's heart, so he had to continue to explain.

"Don't worry about the shopkeeper, we are here with Brother Gu, and Brother Zheng is half an acquaintance, if the shopkeeper goes out to take a look, maybe he can remember who the kid is!"

The young man thought that the post shopkeeper would let down his guard, but the post house shopkeeper seemed to be panicked.

"You people... If you don't leave! Later, he will be targeted by the village tyrant here! We have paid money to people, and they will protect the safety of our station! ”

Hearing this, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi glanced at each other, and the two thought of one thing very tacitly.

Now this Brother Zheng is really a village bully...

Without waiting for the young man to continue to explain, Gu Laosan had already run forward.

The shouts of the innkeeper were so loud that he had heard them all.

Gu Laosan shouted at the post station: "Lin Daxia is really here with me Gu Laosan!" Don't hide it! If you don't believe me, I'll go to the village and call Brother Zheng to come along! ”

Then there was no one in the post station who responded for half an hour.

Gu Laosan was about to enter the door in person, and when he explained to the shopkeeper of the post station, a figure walked out of the post station.

Lin Manliu's eyes lit up, isn't that Zheng Lian?

The young man shouted, "Brother Zheng, long time no see!" ”

Zheng Lian did not respond immediately, but saluted Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi with fists.

"I didn't think that I could see Liu Shaoxia again!"

Lin Manliu said: "What Brother Zheng did, Brother Gu has told the kid about it along the way, and the kid admires it!" ”

Zheng Lian raised his hand and knocked on the counter beside him, and the shopkeeper dared to poke his head out and looked at the three people outside the house.

Seeing Gu Laosan's appearance clearly, he exhaled slowly, and finally dared to stand up straight.

The shopkeeper muttered: "I just thought that the third child was coerced, and it was really scared to death..."

When Gu Laosan heard such a conjecture, he immediately stomped his feet.

"It's been so long... I thought that my Gu Laosan was a melon coward! I'm! ”

Zheng Lian pointed at Gu Laosan's nose, and scolded with a smile: "Aren't you just a melon coward!" ”

Gu Laosan wanted to cry without tears, so he moved his body to the side, and found a corner to squat.

Zheng Lian glanced at the scene outside the village, looking at the villagers who had arrived and the disciples of Yijian Villa.

He asked the young man: "Presumably those are Liu Shaoxia's classmates, right?" ”

Lin Manliu said: "Hmm! This trip to the north is all from my Yijian Villa, Brother Zheng can tell the villagers, don't worry, we are just passing by. ”

Zheng Lian nodded and pointed to a table and chair.

"Do you have time, a moment?"

Lin Manliu bowed his head to show it, and then sat down with Zheng Lian.

From the moment he took his seat, Zheng Lian spontaneously talked about the recent events, including the war disaster in the eastern capital, the rumors of the emperor and the queen, and the people's flight south.

He didn't ask Lin Manliu about his thoughts on everything during the whole process.

Because in Zheng Lian's view, Liu Shaoxia in front of him is so chivalrous, and the Yijian Villa behind him is even more chivalrous!

When Zheng Lian finished speaking, someone suddenly spoke up.

"According to Your Excellency, what do you think of the recent rumors of the Demon Queen's rebellion?"

Zheng Lian looked for a voice, and the person asking was not seated, it was a yellow-shirted figure who had just walked into the post station.

Looking at the smile on the face of the visitor, Zheng Lian poured the tea in front of his table, and then drank it all.

Zheng Lianyan said: "I used to learn that others had read some idle books... Throughout the ages, whenever war was about to break out, it was either to beg for thieves or to bewitch the people, and today it is nothing more than the latter..."

The yellow-shirted figure spoke: "Then what does Your Excellency mean is that these things cannot be heard, and what the rebels do cannot be trusted?" ”

Zheng Lian shook his head and said: "We people are all trying to be stable, which side is credible, which side is harder, it is not so important to us..."

For them, the thoughts of the people in the world don't seem to be so important.
