Wang Ye was about to get up, when in the distance, a man in a lilac robe walked over with two young men hiding behind him. The pace is steady, and the breath is long.

He fixed his eyes and saw that the man in the lilac robe was Zhou Xingyu who was going out, he was carrying a heavy sword, his face was ruddy, and as for the scholar and scholar behind him, he thought that he should be the one who called for help before.

Seeing that Zhou Xingyu had returned safely, Wang Ye and Wang Wen both breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and said, "How is Ah Xing?" Is the matter settled? ”

Zhou Xingyu nodded and said: "It's solved, the other party's martial arts are not bad, and after I slashed a sword, he took the opportunity to escape, I was worried that the other party would come back and hurt people while I was chasing and killing, so I didn't care." ”

Hearing what Zhou Xingyu said, Wang Ye was about to say something, so Zhou Xingyu pointed to the two behind him and introduced: "Brother Ye, Brother Wang, this is Li Mubai's son, and this is his scholar Ah Fa." ”

Then he turned to Li Mubai and said, "Li Gongzi, this is Wang Ye, my senior brother." This is Wang Wengongzi, who, like you, is also a scholar who participated in this township test. ”

Hearing Zhou Xingyu's words, the scholar named Li Mubai hurriedly said to Wang Ye and Wang Wen: "I've seen Wang Shaoxia, I've seen Brother Wang." ”

If he hadn't met Zhou Xingyu this time, the lives of their master and servant would have been ruined here, this Wang Shaoxia in front of him was Zhou Xingyu's friend, and he was also a chivalrous person, thinking of this, his eyes when he looked at Wang Ye were suddenly full of admiration.

As for Wang Wen, he was even more surprised, the two met each other, and the other party was the same as himself, and he was naturally happy to see each other.

With Wang Ye, Zhou Xingyu and Wang Wenzai, the next journey not only does not have to worry about encountering thieves again, but also can sharpen their knowledge, which is really good.

There were two more people in the team, and the speed of travel couldn't help but slow down a lot, but fortunately, Li Mubai was very familiar with the nearby terrain, although the speed slowed down, it took less time, and he thought that he could arrive in Xuanzhou City some time in advance.

Under the leadership of Li Mubai, it only took half a day for everyone to come to a huge city wall, and from a distance, they saw an endless stream of tall city walls.

The city wall is as high as hundreds of meters, dozens of thicknesses, the whole body is made of hard bluestone, the scale is almost the same as Jinyang City, but the sergeants patrolling on the city wall and the soldiers guarding the city gate are all good in terms of spirit and equipment, and they are undoubtedly more elite than those sergeants in Jinyang City.

Looking at Xuanzhou City in front of them, the five couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, especially Wang Wen and Li Mubai, the two sons, they are all from wealthy families, they have been wearing clothes and opening their mouths since they were children, and they have never lived a poor life.

Wang Ye hung the long sword in his hand on the horse's back and said, "It's considered to be on the ground, this time, I must taste all the food in Xuanzhou City!" ”

Running all the way, not only to guard against thieves and beasts that will come out at any time, but also to take care of Wang Wen, the physical consumption is not large, but the mental consumption is a lot.

When Li Mubai heard Wang Ye's words, he also smiled and responded: "What Wang Shaoxia said is extremely true!" Ordinary people only know that this Xuanzhou City is Xuanzhou City, but they don't know that it has the reputation of the food capital, not to mention anything else, just say that the chili fried meat stinky tofu, three fresh bean skin, taro pork ribs rice, sauce fried fish, wine stuffed balls, etc. are all delicious in the world, attracting visitors to stop, salivating four drops, and even people from other countries in order to taste the food, come to this Xuanzhou City from thousands of miles.

The various delicacies in the city are dazzling, making people dizzy, among which Xuanzhou stinky tofu is a special delicacy of the city, which is the main ingredient of soybean pickled in a local specialty. Its appearance is jet black, like pine smoke ink, the taste is stinky, but there is a unique rich fragrance in the mouth, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, the taste is soft and delicious, it can be described as a unique in the world.

If you feel that the taste is too heavy, you can also try the taro pork rib rice, the taro is soft and glutinous, the crispy pork ribs, the unique flavor of the soup and the rice with clear grains, the taste is irresistible, and you can't miss it......"

All kinds of delicacies came out of Li Mubai's mouth, from the method to the taste, and even the appearance, he made a detailed description, everyone was already hungry, and when they heard what he said, they were even more salivating, and they couldn't wait to hurry into the city to taste it.

About half an hour later, Li Mubai said unsatisfied: "In short, there are too many delicacies in Xuanzhou City, what Xiaosheng said just now is just a drop in the bucket, if you really like food, you might as well stay in Xuanzhou for a few more days." ”

Seeing that Li Mubai finished speaking, Wang Wen and the others also came back to their senses, Wang Ye asked curiously: "Li Gongzi, why are you so familiar with the food in Xuanzhou City?" ”

The others also looked at Li Mubai curiously, their eyes full of inquiry.

Looking at the eyes of several people looking at him, Li Mubai said embarrassedly: "Although Xiaosheng's home is in another city, after he was a child in the middle school, he was sent to the Yuelu Academy in Xuanzhou City by the elders of the family to study, and he has been in Xuanzhou City for more than ten years. ”

Li Mubai paused for a moment and continued: "By the way, if you don't arrange a place to live, you might as well go to Shilaiju to live temporarily, this inn is my Li family's property, you can report my name after you go, the food and accommodation are free, and I have contracted your expenses in Xuanzhou City, so I will repay you for saving your life." Of course, the grace of saving lives is naturally not something that can be repaid by these small things, and after entering the city, there will be heavy thanks. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mubai bowed deeply to everyone, and his eyes showed gratitude, especially to Zhou Xingyu.

As a few people spoke, there was a wave of guards in standard clothes at the city gate, and a middle-aged man with a rich appearance walked over, and when he saw the figures of Zhou Xingyu and others from a distance, his eyes were even brighter, and the speed on his feet suddenly increased a lot.

Wang Ye and the others also found out that someone was coming, Li Mubai's face suddenly showed joy, and he waved his hand vigorously at the middle-aged man who looked rich and said, "Second uncle, I'm here!" ”

After speaking, he didn't care about talking to Zhou Xingyu and the others, and trotted towards the middle-aged man.

After Wang Ye and the others glanced at each other, they walked in the direction of the two.

The middle-aged man who was called the second uncle by Li Mubai grabbed Li Mubai's arm, looked up and down for a long time, and after not finding any injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Then he looked at the scholar on the side, his expression changed, and he frowned and said, "Ah Fa, didn't the eldest brother let you look at the young master?" How could you let him sneak out alone, if something happens to Xiaobai, you won't live! ”

Xiaobai?

Hearing the middle-aged man's name for Li Mubai, Wang Ye and the others almost couldn't help laughing.

The little scholar shrank his head, knowing that he would be punished if he went back this time, and suddenly said bitterly: "Second master, the little one is wrong!" ”

Looking at the second uncle with a fierce face and the little scholar with a bitter expression, Li Mubai said: "Second uncle, don't blame him, I insisted on coming out, Ah Fa had no choice but to do this, don't you think I'm okay now?" also arrived safely in Xuanzhou City. ”

Hearing Li Mubai's words, the anger in the middle-aged man's heart disappeared a little, and he looked at Zhou Xingyu and the others, and asked, "Xiaobai, what are these?" ”

Seeing that the second uncle asked, Li Mubai hurriedly introduced: "Second uncle, this is Zhou Shaoxia, if it weren't for him this time, I would almost not be able to come back." ”

Thinking of the picture of the big man raising his axe and slashing at him, Li Mubai couldn't help but shrink his pupils, although the matter had passed, he was still a little afraid in his heart.

Hearing that his nephew said that Zhou Xingyu saved him, the middle-aged man bowed deeply to Zhou Xingyu and said solemnly: "Zhou Shaoxia's great kindness, the Li family will have a retribution!" ”

After that, Li Mubai introduced Wang Ye and Wang Wen to the middle-aged people.

After getting to know each other, the middle-aged man said, "If you don't have a place to go, it's better to go to the Li Mansion to live temporarily." ”

The three people in front of them, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu have good martial arts at a glance, and their bearing and martial arts cultivation are obviously not something that a small sect can cultivate, although the two of them did not say much about their background, they must be characters from the gate sect of Xuanzhou or Bazhou.

As for Wang Wen, he had heard of the Wang family in Jinyang City, and he heard that the current head of the Wang family was Wang Wen, so he thought that he was the person in front of him. The Wang family has the support of the great martial arts master behind it, and the strength of the Wang family is even stronger than that of the Li family, but almost all of the Wang family's family industries are located in Jinyang City, which is not as extensive as the Li family.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but look at his nephew, and had to say that stupid people have stupid blessings, and they met three promising young people just by going out alone.

If you can get closer to a few people, it will be a help.

Li Mubai also nodded again and again, obviously hoping that a few people would live in the Li Mansion.

Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye's eyes looked at Wang Wen on the side, if it was in the wilderness, naturally he and others would have more right to speak, but in the city, Wang Wen, who was familiar with all kinds of things, was more familiar with it and had more right to speak than himself and others.

Seeing that Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu set their eyes on him, Wang Wen only thought for a moment, and then said, "Thank you Second Master Li for the invitation, but a few of us already have a place to live, so we won't bother much." ”

The other party may have good intentions, but Wang Wen can't be cautious, if he lives in the Li family's house at this time, in the eyes of people with a heart, he may think that the Wang family wants to form an alliance with the Li family, which he doesn't want to see.

With the current power of the Wang family, the current industry is saturated, and one more point is beyond the scope of the Wang family's bearing, eating too much is likely to die, unless he can pass the exam this time, otherwise the Wang family should be quiet and not move in the near future.

Seeing that Wang Wen and others were unwilling to live in the Li family, both the middle-aged man and Li Mubai couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment.

The middle-aged people were disappointed that the Wang family did not mean to be close to the Li family.

Li Mubai was disappointed that he couldn't see a few friends who could talk to him day and night.

After the three of them said goodbye to Li Mubai, they came directly to an inn in the city, fortunately, the three of them came not early or late, and there were not many scholars who went to the exam, so all the three of them easily booked three rooms.

The day after the three of them moved in, a housekeeper of the Li family came over and directly handed a box to Zhou Xingyu respectfully, and brought a letter from Li Mubai by the way.

The letter roughly means that he can't repay Zhou Xingyu's life-saving grace, it's too vulgar to give money, and in the box is a five-hundred-year-old gold well jade diaphragm, which is already the limit of what he can do, I hope Zhou Xingyu will not postpone it.

The letter also said that the township examination was coming, and he had to hurry up to prepare for the township examination recently, and he had no time to come to see them, and he would arrange a banquet after the examination to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Although it was recorded in the letter, Zhou Xingyu guessed that the reason why Li Mubai couldn't come in person might be that Li Erye was afraid that this nephew would run around and make some trouble, so he let him ground.
