Mingxiangfang is the largest teahouse in Fengdu City, the lobby on the first floor is because of the storyteller, the business is booming, whether it is men and women, young and old, rich gentry in cloth clothes, they are willing to come here to rest in their spare time, or to have fun.

Because of this, there is a mixture of fish and dragons here, and everyone has it.

However, because today is the Flower Dynasty Festival, most of the guests have gone to the outskirts of the city to go to the spring, and the teahouse at this time seems a little deserted.

There were a few tables sporadically sitting in the lobby, and the private room on the second floor was very private, and it was impossible to see if there was anyone, so Chu Lian moved and his party to choose a place with a wide field of vision to sit down.

The storyteller on the middle stage is telling today's story passionately, Chu Liandong listened carefully for a while, it is the seventy-first episode of "Water Margin" Zhongyi Hall Shijie by the astronomical Liangshanbo heroes ranking.

It's about...... Zhao'an?

Lu Yao is a self-acquainted character, and Zhu Cen Xi doesn't put on a show, just for a short time, the two have become familiar with each other.

"Brother Zhu, I didn't expect that you were so young that you held an important position in the City Defense Division, and you deserved to be a young hero, since you are even more powerful than me!"

He was not humble at all, and was obviously very confident in himself.

Zhu Cen Xi laughed and didn't refute him,

"Brother Yao is humble, at your current age, you have already achieved the best of your kendo, this is the best among your peers!"

Hearing him say this, Lu Yao's expression was very proud, his parents had praised him for his talent in kendo since he was a child, and he would definitely become a generation of grandmasters in the future.

Although it is a fact that he is talented, Lu Yao never slacks off because of talent.

Speaking of it, it is all a history of blood and tears, thinking that in order not to waste his talent, his mother also went to the refining master Tie Nan to make a blood drinking whip, and it is not an exaggeration to open the skin and flesh with a light whip.

At that time, he was young, and his mother believed whatever he said, and when he heard that this was a whip specially bought to prevent him from being lazy, Xiao Lu Yao was so frightened that he couldn't sleep well all night.

He had seen the scene of someone coming to his house to kick the gym and being whipped away by his mother, and after that, he was even more obedient, and he didn't dare to relax at all in sword practice.

Chu Lian saw that he looked immersed in memories, and also remembered the description in the book about Lu Yao learning swords when he was a child.

Tsk tsk.

The kid was indeed frightened.

It is precisely because of this that the psychological quality is so strong!

"Brother Yao, what did you remember? Why do you look bitter and hateful? ”

Zhu Cen Xi saw that he suddenly looked bitter, and asked with some curiosity.

Shu He covered his lips and chuckled,

"I probably remembered the sword practice when I was a child."

Chu Lian saw that he hadn't come back to his senses yet, and took the initiative to ask about some things about Zhu Cengxi.

"Is Brother Zhu a person from Fengdu?"

"Huh?"

When Zhu Cen Xi heard the question, he turned his head to look at her and smiled,

"No, I'm from Fangzhou, not from Fengdu."

"Huh?" Lu Yao stared at a pair of round eyes, very curious,

"Then how did Brother Zhu come to this Fengdu?"

Although it was a normal question, Zhu Cen Xi was silent for a long time, so long that Lu Yao was a little flustered, and was about to speak, thinking that if it was inconvenient, he could not talk about it.

"When I was seven years old, there was no harvest in Fangzhou's drought, and the relief team of the imperial court did not arrive for a long time, so my family was a farmer......"

At this point, he paused for a moment, did not continue to speak further, and briefly summarized his words.

"Later, my mother took me to Fengdu to join her family."

Everyone's hearts sank, the drought in Fangzhou was the most serious disaster in the Yan Dynasty over the years, not only Fangzhou, but also Minzhou, Yingzhou, Ningzhou, Qingzhou, a total of five states, all of which were the same.

Except for some state cities that went south to the sea and those that were relatively prosperous and wealthy themselves, they were spared, and the rest of the cities, large and small, suffered losses.

A lot of people died that year.

That year is also known as the year of heavenly punishment.

The Yan Dynasty suffered a great loss of vitality because of this, and what made matters worse was the infestation of the Tuoba clan, and a total of seven large and small cities were lost, that is, the seven cities of Lianyun.

That was the shame of the Yan Dynasty, and it was also an opportunity for Zhu Cen Xi to seal the Hou of the opposite sex.

Chu Liandong looked at Zhu Cen Xi, who was still a little childish, and her sharp eyebrows were mixed with worry and reminiscence.

Fangzhou is the place where Dayan and Tuoba border......

This river and lake and the court seem to be far apart, but in fact they are very close.

She looked out the window.

The candy man was selling hard, and he had a warm smile on his face; The naughty naughty boy is playing petty with his mother for not buying him candy; The men and women who come and go on the street are neatly dressed and described as carefree.

With such a quiet time, can even the people of the Yan Dynasty in the Seven Cities of Cloud be like this?

Chu Lian thought of the Sixteen Continents of Youyun, the champion Hou of the Wolf Juxu, and the Ming Chengzu who "came out of the six divisions repeatedly, and the dust in the desert was clear".

That is real history, and what is now described in the book that has become a reality is also history.

"I wish big brother!"

She called softly, her half-drooping eyes filled with countless emotions,

"What do you want in this life?"

An abrupt question made everyone present stunned, Chu Liandong still looked out the window, as if this sentence was just a casual question.

Zhu Cen Xi smiled arrogantly, his eyes flashing with a brilliance that could not be ignored,

"Regain the Seven Cities of Lianyun."

"I went there with my father when I was a child, and the people there were very nice, kind and simple. I also met a friend whom I promised to go to in the future! ”

There was nostalgia and affirmation in his tone, and the whimsical words of a young man were only heard by others, and they were extremely convincing from his mouth.

"Speaking of which, it is also fate to meet you in Fengdu City, and I will join the army in a short time. The master knows my ambition and is willing to introduce me, the eldest husband should make a difference when he is born in heaven and earth, and I will fulfill my promise! ”

Zhu Cen Xi's tone could not hide his excitement, and several pairs of eyes stared at him in unison, with different emotions.

Zhu Cenxi: ......

"Yes, I'm excited! I haven't been able to say these words to anyone before. ”

After listening to his remarks, Lu Yao suddenly felt full of pride in his heart, and he slammed the table to get up, making everyone take a big start.

"Good! Well said! I'm going to join the army with you! ”

what？？？

Chu Liandong was also very emotional in her heart, Lu Yao's sudden interruption almost didn't make her little heart fly out.

Song Jibai reacted quickly and pressed the person, covered Lu Yao's mouth with one hand, and smiled apologetically at Zhu Cenxi,

"His head lacks a string, his mind is immature, and what he says cannot be taken seriously."

Lu Yao's eyes widened, struggling,

"Woo-uh-huh!"

I'm serious!

Song Jibai smiled cruelly, covered it tighter, and warned in Lu Yao's ear in a gloomy tone,

"Think of your mother's blood-drinking whip."

Lu Yao was instantly well-behaved.

Zhu Cen Xi was very puzzled, shouldn't he have this kind of desire to serve his family and country?

"Why is that?"

Shu He was speechless and explained,

"Lu Yao is the youngest son and the only male in the family, if he runs to join the army without saying a word, his mother will arrest him and return him to the family to serve if he digs three feet into the ground!"

Zhu Cen Xi smiled,

"Brother Yao has a great heart, even if he doesn't go to the army, he will definitely be able to achieve a career."

Lu Yao, who was still sullen, became happy again when he heard his words, and he effortlessly motioned to Song Jibai to let go.

"Brother Zhu, I think you will definitely be able to become a general! I should have become a kendo master by then, hehe! ”

He boasted unashamedly, and the four fingerprints on his face looked funny and funny.

Zhu Cen Xi smiled and nodded, the sun outside was faintly hot, and he estimated the time to get up and say goodbye to everyone.

"It's not too early, I still have a job to do, and I can't stay for long."

"Ah, Brother Zhu, don't you stay for dinner? It's almost noon. ”

Lu Yao was a little reluctant, how did time pass so quickly? I didn't talk for long.

"I'm sorry, next time I'm going to have a drink and talk!"

Zhu Cen Xi patted him on the shoulder, said goodbye to everyone and left.

The remaining four people sat around the table and were speechless for a while, Lu Yao sighed and lay on the table with a sad expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The sound of wings agitation sounded by the window, accompanied by two cooing sounds, Chu Lian turned his head to look, and met a pair of black bean eyes.

The gray-black feathered pigeon tilted its head to look at her, and cooed from time to time, as if urging something, and as if in doubt.

"Is this a door-to-door lunch?"

Chu Lian used her brain and blurted out such a sentence.

"Big brother, are you hungry? You can't eat this, it's a carrier pigeon! It's not that you can't eat it, you can eat it after reading the letter! ”

Lu Yao explained with his head in his hands.

Only Chu Liandong was sitting by the window, she smiled and stretched out her hand, but the pigeon ignored it, and flew to the table by herself, looking at her with her small breasts.

The small round eyes like black beans shone with an unknown light, as if they were dissatisfied with what she had just said.

Chu Liandong was inexplicably weak-hearted, she reached out and untied the small bamboo tube tied between the pigeon's legs, took out the letter paper inside, and unfolded it.

Quick back.

"What was written?" Lu Yaoshen grew his head and wanted to find out.

Chu Lian spread out the letter paper on the table, and now everyone saw it clearly.

"This ......"

Shu He hesitated a little, and lightly tapped the pigeon's head with his fingertips, but was pecked twice.

"It's not signed, and I can't tell whose handwriting it is, could it be that it was sent by mistake?"

Song Jibai got up and pulled up his sleeves and walked out.

"If you sent it by mistake, you can see it at a glance when you go back to the inn."

The remaining three looked at each other and got up to follow.

Inside the inn, the tables and chairs were staggered, and there was no one else in the lobby except the guy and the innkeeper.

Chu Lian moved, looking at the scene in the house, very surprised, and a little familiar.

Sure enough, the innkeeper sat behind the counter, crying and laughing with the silver in his arms, which was very complicated.

"Boss, what's going on here?"

Shu He asked.

The innkeeper didn't reply, and sat alone thinking about life, obviously trapped in his own world.

The fellow wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied,

"A group of people who looked like white-clothed Taoist priests came to the inn before, I thought they were going to stay in the hotel, but I didn't expect them to come to find someone."

As he spoke, he sighed, and his small eyes glanced at a few people with a weak heart, and pointed at Song Jibai,

"That's it, it's looking for this son. How do I know where you are? Who knew that those Taoist priests were not reasonable at all, and they threatened us! It just so happens that your companion, the boy who likes to wear black, has returned, ho! As soon as these two groups of talents met, they started fighting without saying a word! ”

"Scare the guests away from our inn! The one who beat was called a murderer, and then a white-bearded old Taoist priest came, and the two groups of people did not fight again, and went back to the house together. ”

The innkeeper described the process with emotion, Chu Liandong basically knew what was going on, and she turned her head to look at Song Jibai.

The man's face was very cold, and there was a lingering boredom in his eyes, and it was the first time that Chu Liandong had seen such a clear expression on his face.

How can this Yan Guishan person not go away.

Shu He stepped forward and looked at the two of them apologetically,

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience and loss caused to the inn, please let us know if the boss converts it into silver, and we will be fully responsible."

Although Shu He is not very old, he is beautiful and has a good attitude. As soon as these words came out, the innkeeper and the guy softened a lot, but they were a little embarrassed.

"Alas, the girl is serious! Compensation or something, the old Taoist priest has already given it, and he also gave me a few more fortune charms, peach blossom charms. Hey, hey, I just don't know if it works. ”

The innkeeper smiled shyly, his black goatee shaking twice with his expression.

Well? Are the people of Yanguishan so polite?

Chu Liandong couldn't believe it, the small amount of plot description in the original book, coupled with the protagonist group's distinct attitude towards Yan Guishan, it was difficult for this double-layer buff not to let her wear colored glasses to watch.

Several people had different expressions, obviously thinking about it with Chu Lian, and they were all a little unconvinced.

On the contrary, Song Jibai was stunned for a while when he heard this, his brows furrowed and let go, and his expression was a little more thoughtful.

Lu Yao didn't believe these words at all, he suspected that the old Taoist priest had cast some magic spell on the innkeeper and his men.

There is no way, Lu Yao hates everyone in Yangui Mountain equally, even a grass and a tree, a flower and a leaf.

He patted the sword on his waist, and the blade vibrated twice as if it were responding to him.

With a domineering wave of his hand,

"Let's go upstairs, I'm going to see which old immortal is coming?"

Teenager, the quality is very high!

As soon as they stepped into the second floor, there was a faint smell of blood permeating the room, and several people chuckled in their hearts.

Isn't Jiang Lingxuan outnumbered and injured?

Lu Yao stepped in front of the door in a few steps, and there was a faint sound of talking inside, he really didn't have any politeness at this time, and kicked the door open with a slam of his foot.

The martial arts of the people inside are not low, and they have long known that they are back, but they didn't expect to come out like this suddenly, and they were taken aback!

As soon as the not very familiar shouting and scolding came out,

"Where did the little rabbit come from? The old man is frightened, you can afford to take responsibility! ”

Lu Yaoren heard a scolding before he saw it, and immediately scolded back without outdoing it.

"Where did the old horseman come from, he is still worried about children when he is half in the ground, and he is not ashamed!"
