Look up to the sky and laugh and go out

Out of the valley, nine bends and eighteen bends, first walked a section, let meet someone household, and then take the waterway, once inquired, this place is in the middle of Nanfeng and Yuezhou City.

Xu Changan did not disguise himself, got off the boat, asked for Nanfeng's location, tidied up his clothes, wrapped the long sword in linen cloth and carried it on his back, and strode forward from the south of the city.

Since beating the Han family and the Holy Dynasty, Yuezhou is allowed to enter but not leave.

But between Yuezhou City and Nanfeng, there is no such regulation, and they can't wait for countless people from Yuezhou to pour into Nanfeng and rush to the front line to resist the enemy army.

In the south of the city today, a group of people gathered at the gate.

Groups of armor soldiers with bright armor and expressionless faces blocked the city gates.

Some people in brocade clothes were barricaded at the door, and they were not allowed to leave the city.

"Why aren't you allowed out of town?"

"I have a permit issued by Lord Taishou himself, have you turned the sky upside down?"

Even if the Taishou Lord was carried out, the group of soldiers were unmoved, and just looked at him coldly.

These wealthy businessmen who usually do power and fortune don't know that their Taishou has fallen in a pool of blood a few days ago.

"Shall I go out then?" said the gorgeously dressed young man.

The soldiers guarding the gate were a little embarrassed, looked at the young man, and hesitated.

This young man is none other than the young master surnamed Han who was fascinated by Shen Qiong when Xu Changan entered Nanfeng.

Seeing the hesitation of the gatekeepers, this Han Xiaoye immediately said: "I am the godson of the head of the Han family today, the godbrother of the young master Han Zhi. But my surname has always been Han, and when I live and die with the Han family, how can I be trapped here. I, the descendants of the Han family, advance and retreat together with Yuezhou City. Die, you should die in Yuezhou City, die before the ancestral temple!"

He said this righteously, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find anything wrong.

Xu Changan watched quietly outside the city gate, and he was not in a hurry to enter the city.

He was the only one who entered the city, but there was a long queue of people leaving the city.

The soldiers defending the city were ordered not to let anyone out, and this Yuezhou City was also allowed to go out to Nanfeng.

But the words of the little master Han just now made this group of soldiers a little embarrassed.

Xu Changan leaned against the wall and listened intently. I heard a lot of people whispering, and some people scoffed at this Han Gongzi's behavior, and now, Jiang Ming is attacking the city day and night, regardless of the loss, and the day when the city will be broken is just around the corner, and some of them must want to run. Of course, there are also people who hope that this Han Gongzi can come out, so they also have an excuse.

When the city was broken, it was all about people who were trying to escape. Is there any reason why this kind of city cannot be broken?

The gatekeeper discussed it, and finally came to the result, they decided to let this Han Gongzi out of the city first.

"Young Master Han, please wait. ”

Just about to leave the city, the voice came from afar, and the son of the Han family, surnamed Han Mingqi, stopped, turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged scribe in a green shirt smiling and coming slowly.

Han Qi knew that this was Nanfeng, who had only recently arrived, and although he had not stated his official position, he could speak with more weight than Taishou.

Han Gongzi's words made me admire. However, the building will fall, and the descendants of the Han family will rush to the front line and vow to live and die with Yuezhou. Today, the head of the Han family is fighting against the enemy in Chuijiang, the young master of the Han family is Yu Qiwu to supervise the army, and I, Nanfeng, is the ancestor of the Han family personally sitting in charge, the son of Han Qi, if the ancestor of the Han family learns your words, he will be relieved and very happy. Why don't you come with me to see you?" Lu Jiangqiao smiled slightly and said slowly.

Han Qi's face changed, and he immediately said, "Grandpa Godfather is here, I will see you, don't bother you!"

Everyone saw that even Han Qi was stunned, and they heard that the ancestor of the Han family was in charge himself, and the opposite side was just a small general, although the Holy Dynasty army was strong, but with the Han family pouring out, it was estimated that it would be able to carry it for a while. So, these rich businessmen gritted their teeth and returned to the city with a belly full of suspicions.

Lu Jiangqiao saw that everyone was scattered, his heart was a little wider, he looked up, looked out of the door, and saw Xu Changan.

Although Xu Changan didn't know him, his nephew at that time had told him many times about this different world.

Some people have never seen it, but they can recognize it at a glance.

He thought about it, pretended not to see it, and ordered the soldiers not to enter or leave, and then turned to leave.

Those soldiers saw Xu Changan swaying outside the door, shouted, Xu Changan lowered his head, and immediately entered the city.

Xu Changan entered the city and went to the prison in the south of the city.

The prison still waited for the food to enter like a monster, and there was no change from the previous days, except for the traces of fire on the outside and a new corpse collector.

It's business as usual.

Xu Changan took a deep look at the prison, then turned his head and left, walking towards the Taishou Mansion.

He remembered that Shen Qiong had a younger brother, and it was reasonable for him to do something for her.

In the past, the heavily guarded Taishou Mansion was deserted, and a group of sparrows saw that there was a lot of millet on the ground at the door, and immediately swooped down.

Xu Changan sighed, it seems that it is another story of a person walking tea and cooling.

The door creaked, and he pushed it open and walked in.

Seeing that the entire Taishou Mansion was emptied, Xu Changan's heart pounded, and he walked to the room where he had been lying.

He was afraid that it would be empty when he pushed in, and he couldn't find even a trace of the past.

Xu Changan pushed open the door, only to see that the room was intact, the decoration, the bed, had not changed at all, and there were even a few pairs of embroidered shoes at the foot of the bed. The sun shone in through the window, and some dust looked unusually active under the sunlight, and Xu Changan sat down on the bed gently.

After a long time, the sun was about to set, and he got up to leave.

He stepped back and closed the door gently, as if he was afraid of disturbing his master.

Out of the Taishou Mansion, the street is also a lot more desolate than before, although it is late spring, but there is no spring at all.

There were occasionally a few pedestrians hurrying by on the street, and the inns were closed, and occasionally a few were open, ready to close.

In just a few days, this Nanfeng has become so deserted, although it was not lively before, but there are still small vendors on the street, and many small inns are still open.

Xu Changan asked several families, and those people shook their heads one after another, closed the door, and they didn't accept customers.

Xu Changan heard a commotion from an inn from a distance and walked over.

I saw several young men in fancy clothes sitting inside, and one of them was Han Qi, who had met twice.

Xu Changan was about to enter the door, but was stopped by the shopkeeper coming out.

"Our guest, we're ready to close. ”

Xu Changan looked at the people who were drinking inside, and asked lightly, "Are they all still there!"

The shopkeeper looked at the long sword behind Xu Changan's back, leaned over and said in his ear: "A few of them are the famous little overlords of Nanfeng, so the guest officer should find another place." ”

When Xu Changan heard this, he had a good impression of the shopkeeper.

"Out of the way!" he said, waving his hand.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and could only welcome Xu Changan in.

Xu Changan sat at a table alone, ordered a pot of sake, and served it with a few side dishes.

Han Qi and the others didn't have the time to deal with Xu Changan, and several people were also drinking and chatting.

"Master Han, how did this Taishou Mansion become like this?" someone asked.

Han Qi smacked fiercely: "How did Lao Tzu know, that Shen Fengyuan's old man also said that he would marry his daughter to me, and asked me to go to the head of the Han family to help him say good things, but now I haven't caught anything!"

Someone immediately asked, "I remember a few days ago, didn't Han Shao take that chick to the inn?"

Han Qi was even more angry: "Don't mention it, do you know why?"

The other two or three fox friends immediately stretched their necks and waited for him to say.

"This old man Shen Fengyuan was afraid that his daughter would not agree, so he gave me medicine and made me lose his daughter, and then cooked raw rice into rice. He also asked me to trick his son into going to the back mountain, and the little guy looked up and pestered his sister, if he didn't get him, there was no chance. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes flashed with envy.

"This future father-in-law will help out, there must be no problem!" someone laughed.

Saying this, Han Qi was even more angry.

"Don't mention it, I don't know if the old guy gave me the medicine was too domineering, so I took off my clothes, and I fainted. ”

With that, he took a sip of wine.

Xu Changan lowered his head, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and put the long sword on the table.

"That didn't work out?"

Han Qi took a sip: "Almost!"

"To be honest, that girl is really good, I tore her clothes open, that chest, white flowers!"

Xu Changan's hand touched the sword.

"Uncle, let's reward a little!" A little beggar ran in with his head down and didn't know why, and arrived at Han Qi's table.

Han Qi was interrupted, and when the shopkeeper saw this, he immediately ran out and made a gesture to drive the little beggar out.

I don't know if this Young Master Han is in a good mood today, so he didn't care, so he took a pig's trotter from the table and threw it over.

"Get out, Uncle rewarded you!" said a kick to the little beggar's buttocks, and the little beggar hurriedly picked up the pig's trotters, staggered, and rolled out of the inn.

Han Qi and the others looked at the appearance of the little beggar and laughed.

The arrival of the little beggar made Xu Changan have no heart to deal with this group of people anymore, put a little broken silver on the table, and chased them out.

Turning the corner, in a small alley, the pig's trotters that the little beggar had just gnawed on were snatched away by a group of street children older than him.

They also beat him, several children untied their trouser pockets, and were about to pee on the little beggar's head, Xu Changan saw this, and immediately retreated, and the group of little beggars scattered.

"Shen Lang!"

Xu Changan shouted, and the little beggar immediately covered his face with torn clothes, and said tremblingly: "You recognize the wrong person." So saying, he was about to crawl forward.

"I've been to Taishoufu. ”

When the little beggar heard this, he immediately ran over and hugged Xu Changan's leg.

"I beg you, don't destroy my sister's room, I have no money, I'll give you what I have. ”

"Although I used to play tricks on you, I never went too far, at most I frightened you, and occasionally gave you a lot of money, and my sister treated you well in the past, I beg you, leave a little thought. ”

The little beggar knelt down and kept kowtowing, tears raining down.

Xu Changan's heart hurt for a while, squatted down, looked at the little beggar with bruises on his face, and hugged him gently. Said softly: "Don't worry, I will take care of you on behalf of your sister." ”

The little beggar wiped his tears and was stunned: "Are you?"

Xu Changan looked at him, held back his tears and said, "Put you in a sack." ”

Shen Lang was suddenly shocked and said, "Prince Pingshan, marshal of the Western Route Army?" As he spoke, he kept pushing Xu Chang'an out.

"You go quickly, my sister is dead for you, don't let her down. ”

"Now that Nanfeng City is about to break, you must not be caught by them. ”

Xu Changan felt even more uncomfortable, and he pulled up Shen Lang.

"I know my dad is not a good person, but my sister is so kind, she never bullies others, and that day many people entered the Taishou Mansion, and they started to move things and grab things, and I knew that my dad was dead. ”

"I know that you are the marshal of the Western Route Army, and I also know that you can bring a good life to others after breaking the city. ”

"I used to laugh at my sister's sentimentality and helping the poor. But now, I understand their situation. ”

Xu Changan looked at Shen Lang, who was about to cry again, and helped him wipe away his tears.

"It's okay, I'll be here in the future. ”

"After that day, you were a little beggar. Xu Changan asked softly.

Shen Lang thought for a while and said: "That day, a group of people broke into the house, they began to grab things, and before my sister left, she asked me to hide it and gave me a lot of silver tickets and jewelry. ”

"I was hiding well, but they were going to destroy my sister's boudoir. ”

Shen Lang cried again.

"Then I had to give them the jewels and beg them not to destroy my sister's boudoir, but fortunately an uncle in a green shirt came in and told no one to destroy it. ”

"But the soldiers left behind by Uncle Ke were not competent, and they often ran away. So some beggars will also run in, but there is no way, in order to keep my sister's things, I even gave out the clothes on my body. ”

"I'm sure my sister will come back one day!"

Xu Changan's heart was deeply pierced, his eyes immediately turned red, and tears came out of his eyes.

"Go and do what you have to do!"

Xu Changan picked him up and walked back to the inn.

During this period, there were very few people who gave money for food, especially people like Xu Changan.

In the room, Han Qi and the others were already drunk on the table.

When the shopkeeper saw Xu Changan coming back, he immediately greeted him.

"Help him find clean clothes and serve good food. Xu Changan threw out a silver ingot.

......

Liu Chenglang sat in a wheelchair, and Lu Jiangqiao sat at the table drinking tea.

It was really powerful, and a few words called back all the rich businessmen who wanted to run away with their family property. Liu Chenglang said lightly.

Lu Jiangqiao took a sip of tea and didn't answer him: "I saw Xu Chang'an." ”

Liu Chenglang's body trembled slightly.

"Are you sure?"

"It should have been in town by now. ”

Liu Chenglang sighed.

"It is said that he was basically abolished by the ancestor of the Chu family, but he didn't expect that it would only take a few days to recover. ”

Lu Jiangqiao turned around, looked at him and said, "Do you know that senior, I don't dare to think about the four grandmasters!"

Liu Chenglang turned his wheelchair, turned around and shook his head at him and said: "To be honest, I don't know him, but I invited him to drink a glass of wine and talked a few words, and I was quite in love, and I promised to help him find someone, and he helped me do it once." ”

"So you caught Li Xiaocun that time?"

Liu Chenglang smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't know that senior was so powerful, it was overkill!"

Lu Jiangqiao smiled slightly: "It's also good to be able to have a good relationship with these masters." He thought for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, has the ancestor of the Han family come back?"

"He wants to go to the Chu family to persuade the Chu family to send troops, and now the ancestor of the Chu family has broken his arm, which is quite difficult. ”

He thought for a moment, and then said: "Calculate the time, whether there is a result or not, you should almost come back." ”

"Then how should Xu Changan deal with it?" Lu Jiangqiao thought for a while and asked.

Liu Chenglang asked rhetorically: "What do you dare to do? Don't talk about me, even the four grandmasters are still there, and they don't dare to do anything." ”

"On the battlefield, in the end, it is only the real swords and guns on the battlefield that can win or lose, outside of these battlefields, the three families of Qin, Chu and Han were completely defeated. ”

......

Shen Lang changed his clothes, ate to his heart's content, and patted his stomach.

"Even if he is killed today, he is satisfied, but ......" Xu Changan knew what he was going to say, and in order to avoid both of them being uncomfortable, he patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him.

"Let's get out of town later. ”

Shen Lang nodded obediently.

The evening breeze was slightly warm, and Xu Changan pulled Shen Lang out of the inn.

The shopkeeper trembled, and he didn't know when a group of armor soldiers stood at the door.

Xu Changan smiled at the shopkeeper, made a reassuring gesture to him, and walked out.

They followed the pair to a river.

This river is the moat of Nanfeng, which flows through the city, and the willows by the river are still around, fluttering in the wind.

When the group reached the river, they disappeared, and there were only two people by the river, one in a wheelchair and one in a green shirt.

"It's been a long time, but this is the first time we've officially met. Liu Chenglang looked at Xu Changan and smiled slightly, bowing in the wheelchair.

"General Xu's decisiveness that day is admired by the next. ”

Xu Changan knew that what Liu Chenglang said was that he led 5,000 troops to rescue Li Cunxiao that day.

"On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and it's just a matter of luck. "Xu Changan is not sad or resistant.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both knowing that this kind of hypocritical scene was not suitable for each other.

"You want to get out of town?"

"You want to arrest me?"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, but one nodded and the other shook his head.

Liu Chenglang got straight to the point and said directly: "Do you know why you are in the prison in the south of the city, why the mountain formation was transferred?"

Xu Changan was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Chenglang.

Liu Chenglang pointed at himself, glanced at Xu Changan, and said with a smile: "There are two reasons: one is that the birds are all gone, and I understand the truth of the good bow hidden;

Xu Changan smiled slightly: "Should we thank you?"

Liu Chenglang didn't care about the ridicule in Xu Changan's words, and said directly: "Thank you, I don't need it, I just want you to stay here for a few hours?"

"What do you mean?"

"You want to go out of the city, I don't want to stop it, but the ancestor of the Han family is coming back soon, and I have no right. ”

"Good. Xu Changan agreed extremely happily.

"Under the city gate, I want a table of wine and food, and a pot of good wine. ”

Liu Chenglang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "What courage! Tiger father has no dog!"

Xu Changan was about to turn around and leave, when Lu Jiangqiao suddenly said: "The woman of the Shen family is admirable, and she should do her best to protect her things. ”

Xu Changan had a familiar feeling in this middle-aged man in a green shirt, he didn't look back, and replied softly: "Thank you." ”

......

Under the city gates, a young man and a child sat at a table and drank.

The ancestor of the Han family was above the city gate, watching this scene.

The enemy commander was in the city, and he drank alcohol in the city, which was a great shame! But he didn't dare to do it.

He has lived for most of his life, and even the Holy Emperor dares to reprimand him to his face, but he doesn't dare to do anything to Xu Changan.

They are afraid, the things in the temple are inexplicable, they have face, they want benefits, and there are all kinds of reasons that hinder people's happiness and hatred.

But the rivers and lakes are different, they don't have so many fetters for hostile people.

They just pursue pleasure, the pursuit of pleasure.

They were sure that as long as they dared to make a move against Xu Chang'an, that Jian Jiu, who lived in seclusion in Yuedi, would not be soft on them.

The ancestor of the Han family was so angry that his hands trembled slightly, and the woman in black beside him pressed his shoulder and stabilized him.

Xu Changan raised his head and looked at the ancestor of the Han family on the city wall.

"Ancestor of the Han family, we meet again. ”

Xu Changan said lightly.

"The son of the world is really a young hero, and he admires the old man. ”

Xu Changan ignored him, leaned over to Shen Lang and asked, "Are you full?"

Shen Lang glanced at the ancestor of the Han family on the city wall, this was the figure whose father knelt on the ground and begged to be a dog, but now he is actually drinking and eating under the city wall, and the other party has to pay for the smile.

Sometimes, when you kneel down, it may not end well, but when you stand up, others will not dare to take it lightly.

Shen Lang patted his stomach: "It's full." ”

Xu Changan grinned, shaved his teeth, and said slowly: "The wine and food are okay, could it be that the ancestor of the Han family still wants to keep me as a guest?"

The ancestor of the Han family gritted his teeth, as long as he waved his hand, the arrows in all directions would shoot Xu Changan and Shen Lang into a sieve.

Those soldiers watched the local generals drink defenselessly in front of their eyes, without the slightest scruples, but they couldn't do it.

"Senior brother, endure it, endure it for so many years, think about it for what? As long as you dare to make a move today, the Han family will be gone. ”

The woman in black said slowly.

Their master had told them not to mess with those people. They have also seen a sect slaughtered overnight, with corpses all over the ground, and only a big "eight" character was left on the cyan wall made of good jade, and the sword qi on it was condensed but not dispersed!

This time, although it was Jian Jiu they encountered, they had reason to believe that Jian Jiu's temper would not be much better than Jian Jiu's.

When the ancestor of the Han family heard what his senior sister said, he put down his hand dejectedly and said loudly: "Open the city gate and send off guests!"

The gate slowly opened, Xu Changan looked at the ancestor of the Han family with a gloomy face, and pulled Shen Lang out of the city gate with a big stride!

The two stepped out of the city gate and let out a hearty laugh!

Although he didn't say anything, this laughter stung the face of the ancestor of the Han family!

Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, what can you do to me!
