Cheng Xiao handed the wine jar in his hand to the brother beside him, and said softly: "He is the well-known [Holy Pen Xuan Sword] on the rivers and lakes. ”

His gaze followed the soft moonlight far, far away, starting from the end of the official post road in [Qiankuling], passing through the crystal clear seaside, passing through the resplendent gold, The majestic capital, he seemed to see the familiar and unfamiliar village again, many children in the village are playing carefree, that is the scene they should have when they were children, pure hearts that have not been baptized by wind and frost, blooming the most beautiful pure land in the world, under the fence wall not far from the children, is a group of peasant women who are doing female workers in their hands, but their eyes have been around the children who are playing, some of them are plump, plump and greasy, and some are weak and can't help the wind. People are thinner than yellow flowers, but without exception, their eyes are full of doting when they look at the children.

In the distant fields, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, From time to time, the men who worked hard to sweat would look towards the village, and from a distance glance at the children who were playing, or the weavers who were whispering under the fence wall, and dancing the strings in their hands, and then smiled with satisfaction, and raised their weapons in a playful manner, so that the domestic animals in front of them all pulled their legs and hurried, and of course, there were some stubborn tempers, squinting at the weapons in their hands and being indifferent, and every now and then, there would be bursts of shouting and scolding in the fields, sometimes accompanied by one or two soundsThe sound of "popping" whipping.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but think in his heart: "I don't know how the second elder in the family is doing? Have you received the silver taels sent back every time? Can you have the strength to walk those more than ten kilometers to spend money?"

Whenever he thinks of this, he will have an inexplicable emotion in his heart, like melancholy, anxiety, and pain, which are chaotic and intertwined.

Hearing this, Mu Yuan's hand holding the wine jar shook suddenly, and he almost fell out of his hand, and his heart also tightened suddenly, and he looked at Cheng Xiao and a few people in front of him again and again, confirming that they were the first time they had seen each other, and they had not met before at all, because they had no impression in their minds, but if they were people who had met with him, Mu Yuan should have some impressions.

Even so, Mu Yuan couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"Are they not the most basic guards guarding the drawbridge, but the imperial court sent to find out their own bottoms?"

"Why did they suddenly mention [Holy Pen Xuanjian], is it really just a coincidence? ”

"Has his whereabouts been revealed, and have the people in the court known the purpose of his trip?"

Questions like these lingered in Mu Yuan's mind, which made his mind tense instantly.

While being on guard, Mu Yuan carefully recalled the situation of his trip, he left this time, except for the hundred miles of wind for him, he did not alarm anyone, not to mention that since he came out, he has never stayed anywhere, and he has never shown his true face.

What kind of person is Baili Changfeng, he knows very well that it is impossible for him to betray himself, so if he says this, there is only one possibility left, that is, all this is indeed just a coincidence.

After thinking about all this, Mu Yuan's tense heartstrings were finally relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh in his heart, but despite this, he still did not relax his guard against Cheng Xiao and the others, but quietly watched their expressions change.

But they didn't show anything abnormal, they saw that after the four people next to Cheng Xiao took over the wine jar, they directly took turns to drink violently, and soon the wine in the jar bottomed out.

Putting down the wine jar, each of them looked very depressed and heavy, as if they were still immersed in their previous emotions and had not come back to their senses.

Mu Yuan twisted his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "[Holy Pen Xuan Sword]?

After asking, Mu Yuan stared at a few of them intently, trying to find any clues between their eyebrows, although there are really not many people in the entire rivers and lakes who can make him Mu Yuan jealous, and even if Cheng Xiao and the others are really the eagle claws of the imperial court, Mu Yuan really doesn't take them seriously, because with their strength, if they want to keep him, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

However, he had to guard against it, after all, the main purpose of his trip was to probe the news and save people, so far, except for a news that could be used for both modes, he didn't know anything about Nie Chengfeng's situation, if he was really in Dadu, exposing himself in advance, it would be a big disadvantage to him, so Mu Yuan had to be cautious and walk on thin ice.

His thoughts were pulled back, Cheng Xiao sighed, and said dejectedly: "It's a shame to say, although our brother came to follow his footsteps, but he has never been able to get his respect, what's the matter?

Especially after thinking of the latter possibility, Cheng Xiao's eyes instantly brightened, and his eyes looking at Mu Yuan were also full of hope, just like a distressed child who suddenly saw the honey in the hands of adults.

Not only him, but even the four people who were listless around him, after hearing his words, instantly raised their heads and stared at Mu Yuan, their eyes were full of excitement and curiosity.

"Looks like I'm too careful!"

Mu Yuan was a little helpless in his heart, in fact, he couldn't be blamed for this, after all, he was not only shouldering his own wishes, but also his brother's net worth, so he couldn't be cautious.

At this point, he was finally convinced, Cheng Xiao and the others didn't even know who they were, let alone his relationship with Nie Chengfeng, as well as the purpose of his trip, after thinking about this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Cheng Xiao and the others gave themselves a very good impression, and Mu Yuan really didn't want to stand on the opposite side of them unless they had to.

This is not only because of the eyes, but also because of the loyalty of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Since ancient times, the children of the rivers and lakes are not informal, walking between the rivers and lakes, loyalty and righteousness on both sides, the unfaithful are shameless, the unrighteous are disrespectful, my generation of people in the rivers and lakes, can not only drink wine and eat meat, but also talk and laugh loudly, as long as it is aimed at the right eye, no matter what he is right, the talent is equivalent, as long as he likes it.

To put it bluntly, it's hard to buy a thousand dollars.

Mu Yuan looked at the people with a look of hope, smiled, and said, "Not only have we met, but we have also eaten and talked together everywhere!"

When he said this, he behaved very relaxed, without the slightest hint of nervousness, or excitement, let alone any exaggeration, or boasting, there was no need for that at all, because this is the case, he and Nie Chengfeng brothers used to sit down to drink and talk about the world.
