Wine table.

Xie Yunliu drank two more glasses and began to curse.

scolded the scholar first, scolded a few mouthfuls and was not angry, and then began to angrily reprimand the court.

When Chu Chengfeng heard this, he shrunk his neck, and was about to say that his brother was quieter, but when he saw that there were no outsiders around, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, saying that this guy had drunk too much and couldn't do anything.

"Is there a war?"

Xie Yunliu was the only one left at the wine table. Zheng Xiu listened quietly, and when he heard that the war in the north was tight, his brows furrowed slightly. Since the founding of the Great Qian, the northern barbarian states have always been a pain in the hearts of those in power.

Beiban is a collective name for a number of small countries to the north of the border of the Great Qian. Rather than calling them "small countries", Zheng Xiu felt that it would be more appropriate to call them "tribes". For hundreds of years, the Northern Barbarian tribe has lived on nomadic hunting, and has not yet been indoctrinated, and is arrogant and unreasonable. However, they have a good bloodline, born in the north, they are all brave and good at fighting, especially good at horse warfare, and from time to time intruding on the border, for many years, they have been the trouble of the lord of the Great Qianguo.

In the annals of almost every dynasty, you can find scattered records about "wandering barbarians invading the frontier", and the final result is without exception, under the strategy of the brave and certain generals of a certain general, they repelled thousands of miles and broke the courage of the barbarians.

From a historical macro point of view, the Beiban is not so much an "external trouble", but feels more like an experience package for the military generals of the Great Qian's dynasty. If a military general wants to be promoted in the Great Cadre, who is not allowed to go to the north for a walk? Who can't get some brute blood under the sword?

Zheng Xiu thought about it and silently drank a glass alone.

In a trance, he remembered his father, who also lost his life in a Northern Barbarian Rebellion twenty years ago.

Zheng Xiu drank three cups in a row.

To the Zheng family.

Respect for the soul.

Respect, Zheng Haoran.

His amount of alcohol was average, and after three glasses, his face was red and his ears were red, and his eyes were confused.

Seeing that Zheng Xiu still wanted to drink, Xie Luohe raised his eyebrows, pressed Zheng Xiu's hand, and reprimanded in a low voice with a straight face: "Drink less." ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Xie Yunliu, who was drunk on the side, looked at it and felt that he could, so he touched his bare head and sneered: "Isn't it okay?" If you can't drink it, drink less, and if you can't drink it, say it early, if you don't say it, how do you know that you can't do it? You have to say it! If you say a few more words, I will believe it, I will believe it, these are all your own people, no one forces you to drink, right? ”

He clearly held a grudge against the shameful way in which he had been hung from the beams of the house by the scholar.

"Hmph."

Xie Luohe snorted coldly, poured the wine in Zheng Xiu's cup into his own cup, and drank it all.

Xie Yunliu's eyes were red and dumbfounded.

Wen Shishan was stunned, her suspicious gaze moved around Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe, and after a while, she wondered, "You ......"

"Shut up!" Chu Chengfeng coughed a few times, pinched the root of Wen Shishan's thigh under the table, and blinked desperately at the stupid woman on the table: "Outside, men talk, women don't interject." ”

"He drank too much." Chu Chengfeng was already a good drinker, but obviously the amount of alcohol was a little better than Xie Yunliu. He held Wen Shishan, his little daughter-in-law, who was looking forward to spring, with a peach blossom in one hand, and said sullenly: "Big boss, do you know...... Zhao'an Order? ”

Hearing this, Xie Luohe clutched his wine glass and fell silent.

Boom!

Xie Yunliu slammed his head on the table, smashed a small pit, blinked and snored, and muttered something "Wei Tian is dead, thank Tian for standing".

Chu Chengfeng was so frightened that he covered Xie Yunliu's mouth and nose.

"It's okay, let him talk." Xie Luohe squinted his eyes and smiled: "The man has ambitions in the world." ”

"But his mother can't write the word 'anti-thief' on her face every day!"

Chu Chengfeng scolded.

Zheng Xiu remembered the notice posted on the bulletin board next to the city gate not long ago, and when he heard Chu Chengfeng talk about it at this moment, he rubbed his eyes and asked, "What is the Zhao'an Order?" How Zhao'an? ”

Chu Chengfeng smacked his lips: "Probably to say, now that the imperial court is using soldiers, there are many talents in the world, I hope that we, the reckless men in the mountains and fields, and the martial arts knights, don't know what to do, don't waste a body of martial arts, we should join the court, repay the loyalty, repel the barbarians, and fight for a lifetime of fame." It is said that if you can take off the head of a barbarian general on the battlefield, you can be promoted to an official and knight, and you can rest easy for the rest of your life. Even if you have a criminal record, once you kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious deeds, you can even withdraw the wanted warrant, and you will not be blamed for the past! ”

Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe glanced at each other, and Zheng Xiu asked again: "Bandits...... Okay? ”

"Ahem, what bandits are not bandits, Brother Gongsun, if you don't drink enough, drink less, talk nonsense." Chu Chengfeng hurriedly filled Xie Luohe, Xie Luohe looked calm, and drank all the wine in the cup. Seeing that Xie Luohe was not angry, Chu Chengfeng smiled and said: "Our Yunhe Village has always only robbed the rich and helped the poor!" ”

Zheng Xiu opened his mouth, pointed at himself, and then pointed at Chu Chengfeng.

Chu Chengfeng patted his chest: "I am the third young master of Plum Blossom Villa, you are the heir of the Gongsun family, there is a problem?" ”

You've changed.

Zheng Xiu sighed silently in his heart, the former Chu Daxia was gone, and he no longer refuted.

After Xie Yunliu fell, the few people who were still at the table stopped talking about the imperial court.

Xie Luohe is now fully focused on Nie Gong's treasure house, and he has no time to take care of the affairs of the world.

Zheng Xiu asked some questions dizzily.

Xiao Buping later ran away, and in the past two months, there have been few rumors of him haunting and taking women.

Xie Yunliu's hair has not grown since he was shaved by the dog thief in the village that day, and Xie Yunliu has been depressed for a long time. repeatedly raised his fingers and swore to heaven that he would find the dog thief who shaved his bald head and seek justice.

A few jars of wine were down, and it was late at night.

Zheng Xiu squinted for a while, and when he was woken up by Xie Luohe, Xie Yunliu was paralyzed on all fours, and no one paid attention to it. Chu Chengfeng and Wen Shishan disappeared, and there was a mess on the table.

Xie Luohe's cheeks were red, like two peach blossoms. She smiled and patted Zheng Xiu's face until Zheng Xiu opened his eyes, and Xie Luohe smiled: "I'm drunk, help me back to the room." ”

"You're not Fengbei...... Go back yourself! ”

Zheng Xiu put his head back into the crook of his arm again, not intending to pay attention to it.

Xie Luohe squinted, grabbed Zheng Xiu's hair bun and lifted Master Zheng's head, and broke Zheng Xiu's eyelids with two fingers.

"Xie Luohe, don't make trouble."

Xie Luohe smiled, with deep affection in his eyes.

"What if I say that I am Fengbei now?"

……

Zheng Xiu swears.

Xie Bandit spoke in the future, and he couldn't believe half a word.

When Xie Luohe finished saying that, forcing Zheng Xiu to wake up a little bit, Xie Luohe looked at Zheng Xiu's stunned expression, laughed heartily, looked a little crazy, and the love in his eyes changed to joke in seconds.

In the end, I don't know who was holding whom, Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe walked up the stairs.

Jianghu Baixiao arrogantly chartered this inn, the guest rooms were all theirs, and Xie Luohe led Zheng Xiu to the upper room.

Passing through the corridor, the creaking of beds could be heard in one of the rooms.

Zheng Xiu pricked up his ears and tried to distinguish it, as if it was Chu Chengfeng's voice. He nodded.

The chicken war is in full swing.

is worthy of being a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, with profound skills.

Sent Xie Luohe into the room.

"Do you want to let Xiao Tao help you change your clothes?"

Zheng Xiu shook his head and asked.

"Not necessarily."

Xie Luohe took off his boots and stockings, and lay on the bed with his bare white flesh feet, closing his eyes.

Zheng Xiu thought for a moment.

Prepare to close the door and go to sleep.

Xie Luohe, who had his eyes closed, suddenly hummed a song.

Together, Zheng Xiu, who had just stepped out of the threshold, stopped and looked back in surprise.

"There are always one or two winds in the world that disturb my 108,000 dreams. There are always two or three glasses of fine wine to relieve my sorrow of death. There is always a chuckle in my eyes, quietly filling in my heart. It's a pity that the wind passes through the world, and the autumn water is hard to stay. ”

Xie Luohe, who had her eyes closed, hummed a song, her eyes opened a little, her five fingers stretched out, and she looked at her hands quietly.

The singing voice faded, and Xie Luohe looked at the back of his hand, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Close the door." Xie Luohe suddenly spoke.

"Don't pretend, you know I don't believe it."

Zheng Xiu said helplessly, closed the door, and returned to the house.

"Do you want to ......" As soon as Zheng Xiu turned around, he saw Xie Luohe sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, his toes shaking slightly, and his eyes were like silk.

"I don't want to be killed." Zheng Xiu shook his head.

He wasn't drunk.

So Zheng Xiu won't give Xie Luohe a chance.

Xie Luohe smiled and pointed at Zheng Xiu: "I'm asking, do you want to know, what is her wish." ”

Zheng Xiu was stunned when he heard this: "You know? ”

Xie Luohe nodded: "Naturally I know." ”

Zheng Xiu moved a stool and sat in the distance: "You say." ”

Xie Luohe laughed: "Monsters, demons, evil, aliens, inhumans......" She stretched out a slap and snapped off a finger with each word.

"I said that I can hear the voice of all things. You just think that my hearing is keen, far beyond ordinary people. Xie Luohe's smile became brighter and brighter, looking at Zheng Xiu who was surprised, she breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and said indifferently: "But that's not the case, what I can hear is the inner voice." ”

Zheng Xiu's eyes flickered.

Xie Luohe stood in front of him, leaned closer, stretched out his finger and gently poked Zheng Xiu's chest, and said, "I can vaguely hear the voice here." ”

"I thought it was a gift from heaven, but in fact, it wasn't." Xie Luohe poked Zheng Xiu's chest hard, and poof, a hole was poked out of Zheng Xiu's chest, Xie Luohe's nails touched Zheng Xiu's skin, and a little blood dripped down Xie Luohe's nails.

"You've asked me before why I always wake up so early. Have you ever thought that I haven't slept since I became an alien? ”

Xie Luohe's fingers were very hard, and pain came from his chest.

Zheng Xiu ignored the pain in his chest at the moment because of shock.

"How is that possible? Didn't you say you had ...... in your dreams?"

Xie Luohe interrupted Zheng Xiu's words: "As soon as I close my eyes, it's her dream!" It's her carefulness, her loneliness, her hope, her past, her crying, when I open my eyes, I only remember that village, that night, and that man who looks like a demon like her! It's him, it's you, who gets her out of there! ”

Xie Luohe suddenly exerted his five fingers and strangled Zheng Xiu's neck. Boom! Zheng Xiu's back slammed against the wall, and the entire inn shook slightly under the terrifying power of Xie Luohe.

Black lines crept up from the bottom of her neck to Xie Luohe's delicate face, making her look extremely hideous at this moment.

Long hair covered his right eye, Xie Luohe pinched Zheng Xiu's neck, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he said with a smile:

"Really, it's noisy."

Next door next door.

Chu Chengfeng, who was working hard, felt a vibration on the side, and the whole person froze for a while, and only after a moment did he react, and sighed in surprise and sighing: "It deserves to be a big boss." He didn't take it to heart and continued to retreat with Wen Shishan.

And inside the room of the Xie Luo River.

Xie Luohe suddenly attacked and pressed Zheng Xiu against the wall.

The neck was pinched, Zheng Xiu's drunkenness completely retreated, and he was very clear. Fortunately, he had the habit of carrying a pen with him, so he struggled to take off the Luohe pen at his waist, gritted his teeth, and struck hard at Xie Luohe's head.

But just as Zheng Xiu's Luohe pen was about to smash on Xie Luohe's head, tears flowed from Xie Luohe's right eye, which was covered by Xie Luohe's long hair. At this moment, Zheng Xiu did not see a trace of killing intent in Xie Luohe's eyes, but a kind of ...... Zheng Xiu may not be able to describe the eyes in his life.

Zheng Xiu's Luohe pen went to most of the force halfway and stopped in mid-air.

"Let's go."

Xie Luohe's five fingers loosened, Zheng Xiu fell to the ground, coughing violently, and his face gradually regained its ruddy color. She turned around and walked towards the bed, stretched out her palm, and a soft force pushed Zheng Xiu out of the door.

Xie Luohe shook his fingers, the wind was raging, and the door was closed.

The sigh of the Xie Luo River came from inside:

"She just wants... Be human. Xie Luohe's voice was like a dream, ethereal and indifferent: "Return to normal people." ”

……

What happened in the room that night did not affect Xie Luohe's attitude towards Zheng Xiu.

The next day, Xie Luohe covered his head and asked Xiao Tao, who had recovered from his illness, to cook a bowl of sobering soup for her. In her words, she drank too much and forgot what happened.

Chu Chengfeng, who was exhausted after a busy night, mysteriously poked the old waist of the old brother of Gongsun the next day, and said that he had worked hard, congratulations, take care of yourself in the future, brother understand, etc., and so on.

After drinking too much from beginning to end, Xie Yunliu, who was in the dark, couldn't enjoy it, so he had to find Zheng Xiu to fight again, and he had to divide himself on the wine table.

At the same time, the craftsmen responsible for digging the dark river arrived in Licheng one after another, and under Bai Xiaosheng's heavy money, they started work overnight.

Soon after the banquet, Zheng Xiu learned that Xie Yunliu had not come to Yanzhou alone. He brought almost the entire bandits of Yunhe Village over. But in order to avoid attracting attention, Xie Yunliu asked the bandits in Yunhe Village to break up into pieces and go on the road in batches.

Now hundreds of strong bandits, dressed as craftsmen, are helping to dig at the dark river blockage in the mountain.

Under the construction day and night, with the efforts of 26 top craftsmen in Yanzhou, the excavation project was very smooth. But when it was about to reach the position that Xie Luohe said, Bai Xiaosheng wisely sent all the craftsmen away, leaving only the bandits of Yunhe Village and a few of their insiders.

It took most of the day to dismiss the craftsmen, leaving behind a pickaxe.

Xie Luohe entered the stone path, carefully tapped the stone wall, and after confirming it, he pulled his longbow alone and shot an arrow into the depths of the stone path.

The end of the stone path shattered with a sound, and the bubbling water gushed out along the breach of the arrow in the Xie Luo River.

"It's out of the water! Out of the water! Lots of water! ”

Seeing that the treasure house of Nie Gong was about to be opened, everyone raised their hands and cheered, ecstatic.

Except for Zheng Xiu.

"It deserves to be the Luohe Divine Arrow! Terrifying! Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed and made a gesture of "please": "Please thank the woman to continue to shoot." ”

"Hehe, there's no hurry."

Xie Luohe smiled slightly, turned and pointed the direction of the long arrow towards the forest.

"You don't have to ask me to come out?"

Xie Luohe's voice fell, and a feminine figure slowly walked out of the forest.

The visitor wears an official hat and a brocade robe, and the swallow is smart.

It is the Admiral of the secret factory, Lou Mengkong.

Also, another "monk", Fan Yu.
