"Said that He Xiao fled all the way south, and attracted hundreds of martial arts dead soldiers to chase and kill, still escaped, was seriously injured, and when he escaped, he was even more injured, Qingyun Mountain Lingtianmen, there were many healing methods, but it was completely useless, the injury gradually became serious, and finally he got the epidemic, some people saw him go all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, maybe he was going to Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

"I don't know who is so bold, not only the Son of Heaven intercepted and killed the Imperial City Division, but also dared to kill the Imperial City Envoy from Qingyun Mountain, this is not only an enemy of the emperor, but also an enemy of the peerless masters on Qingyun Mountain. ”

Mr. Zhang patted the startled wood, as if it was the end, and arched his hand: "Besides, the things on the rivers and lakes are just the countryside and the mundane world in the end, the chivalrous guests who are still in the rivers and lakes, and the wild masters who have retired to the mountains and forests." Everyone, all right. ”

This sentence is an honorific, a tribute to the heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes, and a tribute to the old rural man who has taken off his chivalrous clothes, wrapped in a coat and hat, and is working in the wilderness. Mr. Zhang spit out a long breath, put the tea in his stomach, arched his hand at the son-in-law buddy above, and went down. A few people also got up and gave their hands to each other, like the Songshan swordsman who said goodbye to the rivers and lakes, and met the old man after meeting him to make a wish.

Someone turned over the Jiazi card, it was the turn of the next Jiazi to play, the next one was the top card of the Jiazi Garden, She Qing'er stepped on the stage with exquisite dance steps, all the sons and brothers stared at her, and the beautiful people wrapped in exquisite clothes stepped on the brisk dance steps, even the old Mr. Zhang who ended up could not help but look at it.

"Master, I have earned more than 80 taels of silver today, as well as two taels of gold ingots, and I will let the apprentice go and get you two catties of wine in a while. "The disciple came with a plate, which was full of gold and silver, and a delicate gold ingot could often be exchanged for twenty or thirty taels of broken silver.

Mr. Zhang nodded, a little tired, and said, "Go back and hide the silver first, pick up some sparse pieces, and then buy a few catties of dog meat from the eastern suburbs." ”

"Okay, I'll go in a moment. "The apprentice is only eleven or twelve years old, and his cheeks are flushed, and he doesn't know if it was frozen by the wind, or if this doll is like this.

Mr. Zhang is very good, living in the forest three miles outside the city, the outside of the broken bamboo house is in tatters, the inside is not much better, and no one takes care of it, there is a small pond in the courtyard, there were originally two herring fish, not long after the epidemic started, there were people from the west who fled at night, picked up two fish to eat, and left a pool of clear water alone, there was nothing in the clear water, and even the green duckweed was gone.

Mr. Zhang adopted a little baby who was not raised by anyone to be a child, and when the boy was older, he often followed him to make a living. The old gentleman used to be an official, he knew a lot, and then he did a few days of teaching Mr., relying on his knowledge in this small county town is also quite prestigious, and then there was an accident in the family, many people died, and many people never saw it again, when Mr. Zhang escaped, the black hair of the past was dry one day, and the appearance also changed, and he couldn't find a livelihood before he remembered what he had seen, so he was in Jiaziyuan, saying some interesting things every day, to people who heard good news about current affairs, and heard that they were all nobles and nobles, and he heard that he was a breath of Jianghu in his mouth, and he heard more people, the greater his fame, so Jiaziyuan was crowned with a name。

Old man Zhang sat on the stone steps, inexplicably sleepy, he was really old, and he was sitting outside the house groggily wanting to lie down for a while.

"Master, I'm back. ”

It didn't take long for the boy to come back, beckoning from afar, interrupting the old man's thoughts, and the boy was holding an oil-paper bag in one hand and a small wine jar in the other.

"Master. ”

The boy is very well-behaved, the sake poured on the bowl is clear and transparent, every drop of wine exudes an attractive aroma, and the sake without a little impurity on it is still sweet in the throat.

Old man Zhang was eating wine and grabbing a piece of dog meat, the aroma of dog meat was tangy, but there was no onion fragrance on it.

"Grandma Li said that the green onion is gone, only ginger. Xiao Tong said.

Indeed, it is still necessary to accompany the dog meat with chopped green onions to be fragrant, Old Man Zhang thought.

In the distance, two people slowly approached the bamboo house in the forest, Nan Huaijin smelled the fragrance here from a long distance, she shook a jade fan in her hand, covered with a veil, and couldn't see the true face.

Zhu Qiu followed him, as for the thief, he said goodbye to Nan Huaijin and the others, and when he left, he said that he would go to Xiaolingshan Temple to get the statue of Tianshui Bodhisattva there, and then go back.

An outsider entered the courtyard, and the boy immediately hid behind the old man Zhang, and Mr. Zhang straightened up his waist and stood up, protecting the little boy behind him.

"Two?"

Zhu Qiu stepped forward and said: "We came from Qingyun Mountain, listened to the story of Mr. Zhang in Jiaziyuan, heard the whereabouts of He Xiao, and came to ask. ”

A gleam flashed in Mr. Zhang's eyes, but he was still puzzled: "What is the exact relationship between the two of you and Lord He Xiaohe?"

Nan Huaijin nodded and said, "He is my senior brother." ”

Mr. Zhang took a step back and looked at the young man in white in front of him, dressed in white, with two swords behind him, and although his face was covered with white veil, he could also see three points of appearance.

"The white clothes on Qingyun Mountain, but the characters in the inner door?"

Nan Huaijin nodded.

......

Old man Zhang didn't know much, but He Xiao had been to Jiaziyuan when he went south not long ago, but he got acquainted with Old Man Zhang after staying for only two days, and hid in Old Man Zhang's house.

The sky was dark, and Zhuqiu raised a fire to avoid the cold, and the dog meat that the child bought Zhuqiu liked it, but Nan Huaijin waved his hand again and again, only saying that he had just eaten it and was not hungry.

"When the epidemic first came, there was still some food, and some people would throw some food to these dogs, and then the epidemic became more and more serious, and there were dead people everywhere, and people were hungry, not to mention dog meat, and human flesh was also called some bold people to eat. "It's not the first time that the old man Zhang has begged for a living during the pandemic, and the scenery of starvation is not the first time to see it, what is it to eat people, in his eyes, there is nothing more uncomfortable than eating Guanyin soil, Guanyin soil eats too much, one by one has a big stomach, and the death is extremely miserable, some people not only eat the Guanyin soil, but also pick up the dead babies who have just been buried after starvation, and there may be some heat when digging it out.

"This dog meat is not tasty, but it is better than eating dead human flesh. This is what the boy said, he also grabbed a big meat bone, and ate a large piece of meat, Nan Huaijin was stunned, it is true, what to eat is not more reassuring than eating dead human flesh, maybe she has really changed, in the past, when she was a beggar, half a piece of sugar cake that others had bitten, and the buns that had been stepped on with her feet, she would also pick it up and eat, and I still remember that when the master found her, she went to the house of Confucius's descendants, and the chicken leg fell to the ground, and she did not hesitate to pick it up and eat.

My heart has changed, it's really changed a lot.

Old man Zhang didn't say anything, but talked about He Xiao: "The hands of the Imperial City Division have reached all over the world, and there are many shadows of the Imperial City Division in Jiangnan, he can actually dodge it, but someone took the lead and actually started in advance, pulling out a lot of shadows, and many young generals of the Imperial City Division have no news, and when Lord He is anxious, he will often say: If I knew that I would sleep well, if I didn't come out, maybe there would not be so many people who died." ”

"My senior brother, where did he go?" asked Nan Huaijin.

Now that he knows He Xiao's whereabouts, perhaps the only one in front of him is the old man surnamed Zhang, Nan Huaijin is naturally anxious.

The old man thought for a long time, but he still said it: "The night before he left, he said that Tianshu Pavilion is a good place, if the old man I guessed correctly, Lord He may go to Tianshu Pavilion to avoid the wind." ”

"Heavenly Book Pavilion?"

Nan Huaijin frowned slightly, why did He Xiao choose to go to Tianshu Pavilion instead of returning to Qingyun Mountain? Tianshu Pavilion is known as collecting the secrets of the world and covering the world, and even the world feels that there is no truth that Tianshu Pavilion does not know.

The masters of the Heavenly Book Pavilion are like clouds, and there are four pavilion masters with unfathomable martial arts in it, guarding four secrets, some people desperately want to find out the truth of this secret, but none of them finally know the secret.

"Tianshu Pavilion, what is my senior brother doing in Tianshu Pavilion?" Nan Huaijin asked.

"I don't know. Old man Zhang took a sip of wine, as if he was a little drunk, and said: "I just guess, maybe Lord He doesn't know who is going to kill him, go to Tianshu Pavilion and ask who is behind it." ”

"Tianshu Pavilion has vast magical powers, spies are all over the north and south of the river, and even there are people from Tianshu Pavilion in the deep palace, there are always people who say that behind Tianshu Pavilion, maybe it is the emperor, who in the world knows so many secrets? Who can afford to raise so many spies. ”

Saying that, the old man Zhang seemed to think of something, opened his mouth and said: "If the emperor wants to kill someone, he can't hide from the emperor's sight even if he hides to the ends of the earth, and if the emperor wants to save a person, except for the appearance of a top master, maybe no one can stop him." ”

"Something to do with the emperor?" Nan Huaijin asked rhetorically, she said, but her mind had already been put in Bianjing City, maybe it was reasonable, the person who saved the Imperial City Division in the end was not only not the emperor, but the forbidden army that suddenly appeared, not to mention hundreds of dead soldiers, among the most powerful people in the world, the value of these hundreds of dead soldiers would not laugh, and they really had to use all their strength to kill an imperial city envoy with excellent martial arts.

It's just that the emperor will really kill He Xiao?

This doesn't seem to make sense, He Xiao is in the Imperial City Division, the Imperial City Division is the emperor's own personal soldiers, if he even kills his own personal soldiers, what kind of changes will happen.

Nan Huaijin thought about it, she seemed to have thought of something, a hidden thing that ordinary people don't know, but it can affect the power of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

It's just a magic weapon.
