"Hehe, hehe, Nangong Shaoxia doesn't have to be polite, the Nangong family and the Tang family have been friends for generations, and Nangong Shaoxia is like a home in my Tangjiabao, and there is no need to be restrained. The two of you will leave tomorrow, how can you not drink a glass of candied wine? What's more, the old man still has a few words to say to the two young heroes. Tang Yanxiong said with a smile while letting the two into the house without saying anything.

"If that's the case, then we're really bothering, and it's really a shame to let the castle lord bother." Zhu Wenyu said.

"Zhu Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, sit, sit, two young heroes, please sit." Tang Yanxiong said, "Go, call Yun'er out." ”

The servant agreed, turned away, and after a while, Tang Yun slowly rubbed out of the inner room, lowering his head and not daring to speak. Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling looked at each other, unexpectedly that Tang Yanxiong actually called Tang Yun over.

"Two young heroes, please sit down, Yun'er, you can sit down too." Tang Yanxiong sat on the main seat and beckoned again.

"Hello Miss Tang." Zhu Wenyu didn't know what to say for a while, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly came to such a sentence, which made Nangong Ling almost laugh.

"You...... You're good too. Tang Yun's voice was surprisingly smaller than usual, even quieter than when he introduced Zhu Wenyu to the martial arts contest on Fengwu Tower yesterday. Nangong Ling's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that Tang Yun's face was already crimson, he smiled secretly in his heart and didn't speak.

"Sit down, sit down. Pour the wine!" Tang Yanxiong said.

After the four of them were seated, Tang Yanxiong picked up a glass of wine and said, "Come on, tomorrow the two young heroes will set off, and the old man will fill a glass of candied wine first." ”

"Don't dare, thank you Lord for your kindness." Zhu Wenyu and the others hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass and lifted it, as Tang Yanxiong drank it all, Tang Yunzi also followed his father to raise the wine glass, and took one sip, but he didn't say a word.

Tang Yanxiong picked up the second glass of wine: "This second glass of wine is to ask the two young heroes to take care of Yun'er, Yun'er has been spoiled since she was a child, and her temperament is stubborn and willful, and the two young heroes are more responsible." Yun'er, this cup must be toasted by yourself. ”

"Daddy!" Tang Yun let out a strange scream.

"Don't dare, don't dare, castle master, Miss Tang is talented and intelligent, and she has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and she is really a hero. Walking all the way, I don't dare to say that I should take care of it, and the younger generations will naturally treat Miss Tang as a family. Zhu Wenyu didn't know what to say for a while, Nangong Ling hurriedly came over when he saw this, and the two of them drank it all again.

"Hehe, there are two young heroes, a hundred old people can rest assured. Here, have another drink. Tang Yanxiong said with a smile, and took another sip, and Zhu Wenyu and the two hurriedly accompanied another cup.

Tang Yanxiong seemed to be quite interested in persuading him to drink, but Zhu Wenyu had never felt so restrained, he was at a loss, he didn't know where to lose it when he opened his mouth when he didn't care about the witty words of the hanging bell on weekdays, he didn't know what to say, so he had to pour wine and drink it vigorously, Nangong Ling is you come and I don't lack courtesy, talk and laugh freely, as for Tang Yun, she didn't look up much from beginning to end, she lowered her head when she drank and ate, almost didn't say a word, and I didn't know if she was drinking. The face was swollen and red, and the cheeks looked even more delicate under the oil lamp, which made Zhu Wenyu almost stunned.

This wine is eaten until people are drunk, and the third watch of the month is in, Rao is Zhu Wenyu's internal strength is exquisite, but he has something in his heart, rarely speaks, and he keeps drinking, and he has not been able to solve his internal strength, but he is already seven points drunk, Nangong Ling seems to be still sober, and when the feast is dispersed, he helps Zhu Wenyu back to the guest room. Zhu Wenyu fell down and fell asleep.

On the third day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it was sunny, but it was still snowy in all directions, and the sun was particularly dazzling and dazzling. The wind is not strong, and it does not feel how cold and biting, but it exudes a fresh breath, and galloping in the snow can indeed make people feel refreshed and refreshed. Still in the New Year, the villagers in the countryside and towns are still immersed in the joy of the New Year, most of the houses are pasted with the Spring Festival couplets, and from time to time you can also see the big red lanterns hanging outside the gate, the red reflects the snow, so that people gush out of the heart a festive spirit, as if all of a sudden melted into the joyful feeling of the people's homes, and turned into the steaming hot and warm dishes on the tables of all kinds of people, regardless of rich or poor.

Early in the morning, the main gate of Tangjiabao creaked open, and seven or eight men and women came out, and the originally deserted gate suddenly became lively. I saw an old man clasping his fists at the two young men who looked like scholars and said: "Zhu Gongzi, Nangong Shaoxia, the rivers and lakes are dusty, be careful, have a smooth journey." He said to a young girl dressed up in a strong costume: "Yun'er, you have walked the rivers and lakes many times, but Dad is not worried, but you and Zhu Gongzi have to clean up your temperament all the way, don't be willful, ask the two young heroes more, listen to the teachings of the two young heroes, do you know?" If you are willful and bad, neither I nor the master of the door will spare you. The girl pouted, "I know, I know, how many times have I said it, and you said it again and again!" One sentence caused everyone to laugh, which made the girl very embarrassed, and said, "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!" The son surnamed Zhu smiled: "Okay, good, if you don't laugh, you won't laugh!" deliberately pretended to keep a straight face, which made everyone laugh even more. Even the young man surnamed Nangong, who didn't have much expression, couldn't help but smile.

This is exactly what Zhu Wenyu, Nangong Ling, Tang Yun and others left the Tang Gate to go to Chengdu to check the murder that occurred on the 23rd of the lunar month, Tang Yanxiong, Tang Yanhu, Tang Jian and others went out to see each other, then Tang Yanxiong is the eldest son of the Tang Gate, the lord of Tang Jiabao, the father of Tang Yun, Tang Yanhu and Tang Jian and others were on a par with Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling because of the Tang Gate New Year's competition, and they felt close, and Tang Jian was Tang Yun's eldest brother, and he came to see him off early in the morning, as for Shen Yuanxue, the master of Tang Gate, because of his advanced age, Zhu Wenyu had already resigned to her yesterday, so he did not come again.

The three of them hugged their fists and said goodbye to Tang Yanxiong and others, took the horses brought by their subordinates, turned over on the horses, and Tang Yun's personal maid Tang Li, a group of four, whipped and urged the horses. The mounts of the four people are all good horses and horses, and they are well fed in Tangjiabao and the wind and rain are not stained, they are already fat and fat, and they run forward happily with a slight urge, and more than 30 miles of official roads pass by in a flash, but in an hour, they have returned to Bazhong County.

Xu Shiqun, the commander of Bazhong County, had already led a large number of people to wait at the gate of the county office, and when he saw Zhu Wenyu and the four of them approaching, he bowed down on the spot: "Bazhong County ordered Xu Shiqun to greet Lord Zhu." The servants and servants standing behind also knelt down with them, and Zhu Wenyu hurriedly dismounted and helped Xu Shiqun up: "Lord Xu, get up, I have already said that I don't need such a big gift, and I can't afford it, how dare I be?" ”

"The laws of the court should not be lightly abolished. Moreover, Lord Zhu angrily killed Wang Dingbiao to eliminate harm for the people, and the lower officials also knelt for the people of Bazhong in this worship, so Lord Zhu must not refuse. Xu Shiqun bowed to the ground and said goodbye.

Zhu Wenyu was greatly moved, and said: "Wang Dingbiao is a harmful place, and he is innocent of death, and I killed him only for a moment of righteous indignation, but fortunately, the emperor's uncle has not scolded me." Lord Xu, please get up, everyone, please get up. I'm just passing through here this time, and I'm going to Chengdu soon, so you don't have to go back and forth. ”

However, Zhu Wenyu also knew in his heart, this Xu Shiqun is probably inevitably a person who tends to be inflammatory, if he was sincere, he should have done so long before he killed Wang Dingbiao and went to the Tang Gate, but at this time, he knew that the emperor did not blame himself, so he was so coy this time. It's just that compared with Wang Dingbiao, although Xu Shiqun can't talk about any style, after all, he is not bad to the people, and he is not a corrupt official, which is also rare, and he should not be too forced. Since he didn't have a good impression of Xu Shiqun, he didn't bother to stay here for a while, and said that he wanted to go.

When Xu Shiqun heard this, he hurriedly stayed, but Zhu Wenyu really wanted to leave, and Nangong Ling and Tang Yun didn't even get off the horse, only Tang Li came down and stood with the horse, obviously he had no intention of staying, so Xu Shiqun didn't know that he could stay. What's more, Zhu Wenyu is a Qincha after all, even Wang Dingbiao dares to kill with one palm, first cut and then play, and then tell the emperor after killing, he is definitely a bold master, maybe he can do something, although he is still kind to Xu Shiqun at this time, but if he is killed by the wrong intention, it is not much more serious than killing an ant, then he Xu Shiqun will be wronged. As the saying goes, "a companion is like a tiger", and it seems that there is not much difference between this companion and the companion tiger, the difference between a tiger and a lion. He Xu Shiqun also hoped in his heart that this plague god would go as far as possible, so he just kept it in his mouth, and seeing that Zhu Wenyu had made up his mind, he got off the donkey, and his face was reluctant, wishing Lord Qin Cha Zhu a smooth journey and making new contributions to the imperial court as soon as possible.

Leaving the Bazhong County Ya, the four of them traveled all the way south, slowly slowed down their horses, and rode along.

The four of them seemed to have their own thoughts, they all talked little, and they didn't go far, Tang Yun suddenly burst out with a sentence: "These officials, there are not a few good things, one by one they see the boss either worshipping or kowtowing, with a treacherous smile on their faces, as if they have met their own father, and they are all good at bullying the people!" More powerful than a ghost. ”

Zhu Wenyu was looking around at the scenery boredly, and when she heard this, she deliberately teased her: "Then I'm not a good thing?" I'm a chincha, but I'm not a big official. ”

Tang Yun paused, glanced at him, and said, "You? You...... You're no better!" After saying that, his face flushed, and he urged the horse to run a few steps, ran four or five feet ahead, and slowed down again.

Zhu Wenyu glanced at Nangong Ling, and saw that Nangong Ling also happened to look at him, his eyes were full of smiles, and when the two of them looked at each other, they couldn't help laughing. Tang Li, who was next to him, was a little embarrassed, called "Miss!", and also urged the horse to move forward to catch up with Tang Yun, the two women walked side by side in front, and the two men were behind, and continued to walk forward without hurry.

Tang Yun and Xiaoli walked unhurriedly in front, ignoring Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling who followed behind, but they were a little distracted in their hearts.
