Two paths
Qi Zehui glanced at him, and finally slowly turned around and stumbled away.
There was no looking back.
But Xiao has been sitting wet in the river, stunned for a long, long time......
It wasn't until it was full of stars and the moon hung high that he stood up and stepped out of the river.
He thought about it, but turned around and walked towards the inn.
Sure enough, Qi Zehui had already left the room, took his luggage, and there was no trace of him.
The innkeeper took out a heavy cloth bag from under the counter, pushed it to Xiao, and said:
"This is what the brother left for you when he left, can you take a look?"
Xiao took the cloth bag, opened it gently, but what greeted him was full of hay, he was stunned for a moment, his mind moved, and then he put his hand into the knowledge of the grass ball—
Hard, slippery, icy cold.
Xiao withdrew his hand, already understanding what was inside.
It's full, it's all gold.
"Forgive the old man for ......talking too much," the shopkeeper looked at Xiao's face, looking a little hesitant: "I see why the two brothers have colors on their faces?
"Villain?" Xiao smiled dumbly, "We're almost a villain......
He packed his bags and walked out of the inn, but suddenly, he stopped.
It was still a bustling and lively night, with people coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic, but he didn't know where to go.
"It's so ......big," Xiao smiled wryly, "...... I don't know where to go......"
He was already weak, his days were numbered, and now he had lost his way, and he really didn't know where to go.
No, no, Xiao's gloomy gaze flickered suddenly.
It seems that now he has only one place to go.
Only Nanning Prefecture, Dali, the Niujia Village that has become a ruin, and there is an old village chief waiting for him.
He sighed softly, packed his bags, and walked alone to the bustling streets. He has decided to spend the rest of his days with the village chief and grandfather in Niujia Village, and the money on him is enough for them to enjoy the worldly pleasures in the rest of their lives.
As for Su Xixue?
He pursed his lips and closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think about her.
It's just a beautiful misunderstanding......
"What?Dali?Don't go, don't go!"
"Brother, this is not a matter of money, it really can't go!"
As soon as the drivers heard the words "Dali" and "Nanning Prefecture," their faces showed panicked and frightened expressions, and no matter how much Xiao raised the price and how tempting the road fee was, none of them dared to go.
Only then did I know that recently, the Iron Cavalry of the Western Regions once again raised troops to attack, smuggled across the Great Smoky Mountains, and attacked the sandbar with heavy troops, and in just two months, the Yumen Pass had been broken, and the casualties on both sides had been thousands of people. Taking advantage of the tight fighting on the front line and the fact that the officers and men had no time to take care of them, the bandits and bandits from all walks of life became more and more unscrupulous and took advantage of the fire to rob and rob homes and houses, kill people and steal goods. Now the states and counties close to the Western Regions are already in danger, and they all want to flee to the hinterland of the Central Plains for refuge.
"Hasn't His Royal Highness King Zhang always been guarding the Western Regions?" Xiao remembered Hu Ji, the king of Zhang, who wore silver armor, carried a long halberd, and drove a white horse to take the head of the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops, not only smacked his lips, but asked strangely: "Why did those alien races suddenly dare to attack?"
"Alas, don't mention it," several coachmen leaned on their old horses and drank spirits, and immediately waved their hands when they heard this: "Since the princess died of illness, His Royal Highness King Zhang has been restless, and he actually left his post without permission a few months ago, and disappeared inexplicably, until now there is no news, life and death are uncertain, and the emperor is so angry that he has thrown things directly above the court!"
Lose...... Is it missing? Xiao was stunned, it seemed that the fine workers had reported the news of his absence, no wonder the group of people from the Western Regions began to stir again.
It seems that the departure of the female Rao is indeed a big blow to the male Rao...... Xiao couldn't help but be able to help the situation of the group galloping on the outskirts of the city on that waning moon night, if it had been a little faster at that time, maybe it would have ...... Alas!
Xiao sighed, it seems that he can't go back to Nanning Prefecture, but at this time, there is something that makes him even more curious, that is, King Zhang, a true man who is iron-blooded and dedicated to the country and the people, what is it for him to leave his post without permission?
His Royal Highness King Zhang at this time, Prince Hu Ji, where is he?
Xiao said goodbye to the coachmen, wandering alone on the street, the previous unhappiness had been completely forgotten by him, and now his mind was all about the survival of his family and country, and the iron horse glacier and wolf smoke battlefield that allowed real men to show their skills.
He is a worry-loving character, and he happened to encounter so many worrying things, but he had a life that he couldn't worry about anymore.
Coupled with nowhere to go and homeless, the beloved girl is far away in Wudang, the gracious brother Liu is nowhere to be found, and his best friend is also broken with him because of the momentary anger, all of which makes him distressed, gives him a headache, and makes him can't help but want to yell up, but he is afraid of being caught by a madman next to him.
Finally, he can now finally understand why Liu Wanfeng went to the land of fireworks to get drunk when he was extremely sad and depressed, and he also wanted to find a place to throw a lot of money at a group of smirking people, and then soak himself in a wine vat, praying that he would never come to his senses.
He rubbed his head, walked around in a daze, and quickly walked to the door of Luanfeng Tower.
He raised his head and looked, the huge green building was still so prosperous, so gorgeous, everyone who entered was intoxicated with the false gentleness of the township, and in the fleeting spring light, he willingly cleaned his pocket.
Since you're here, why don't you go in and have a drink, Xiao? He seemed to have completely forgotten how he had made a fuss here in full view of everyone a few years ago, and how he rubbed the palm of the restaurant manager under his feet and scolded his friends for the unreal beauty of the bad woman......
Or, he hadn't forgotten, but he didn't care anymore. Whether he rushed in now and was beaten to death by the servants inside, or suddenly died a violent death on a sunny afternoon a few years later, it didn't really make much difference to him.
He just wanted to seek thrills, to let the hot liquor or the aroma of female rao stimulate his numb nerves, or the pain of fists and knives - in short, as long as it made him feel that he was still alive, he went to school
By the way, by the way, Xiao's knowledge is not as "broad" as Qi Zehui, and even now, he really doesn't even know what the art of the room and the joy of fish and water are.
But he lifted his feet and walked towards the open door.
He had almost seen the girls dressed up in fancy clothes, shouting "Lord~", "Lord~", while smiling and running towards him.
Chirp –
Suddenly, a high-pitched eagle chirp came from above his head, attracting his attention.
Although in the noisy night market, the eagle chirped as faintly as a fly, after all, he is a person who practices martial arts, and his eyes, ears, mouth and nose are inevitably a little sharper than ordinary people.
Therefore, this eagle's chirp was like a bell ringing in an empty valley to him, and it immediately made Xiao raise his head and look over.
In the haze, he really saw the figure of an eagle, which waved its wings and slowly landed on the roof of Luanfeng Tower, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Xiao held up his chin and thought, but in a prosperous place like Shouzhou, how could there be an eagle that was not afraid of human tracks?
Wait, his eyelids jumped, and he suddenly remembered that Su Xixue had chatted with him on the road, and it was all major sects in the rivers and lakes, and they all used white pigeons to communicate, first, this bird had a docile temperament and was easy to tame; Therefore, everyone likes to raise pigeons to serve as messengers over the mountains.
But there is one organization that is different, and the birds they use to communicate with are not docile and lovely white doves, but mighty and fierce eagles!
You must know that eagles are birds that have the arrogance of kings in their bones, and they have a living hatred for humans, don't tame, even if you want to contact them safely, it is extremely difficult.
It takes a thousand times more time and money to train a hawk than a pigeon—but if you can successfully tame an eagle, it is indeed worth a thousand stupid pigeons—so although many famous factions have this mind, in the face of many realities. But it can only be discouraged.
In this huge river and lake, there is only one sect that truly uses the eagle as a messenger to convey information, and that is the one who claims to be omniscient and omniscient, and has deep pockets:
Million, elephant, pavilion!
Xiao has also fully reacted, according to what Brother Liu Wanfeng said, since this flower lady is a person from Vientiane Pavilion, then this Luanfeng Tower, which houses her, must also be inseparable from Vientiane Pavilion, right?
Some influences suddenly flew through his mind like lightning, and he remembered that day in the Caihuang Hall, the flower lady's words, deeds, eyes, and smiles were all too deliberate.
Especially her words to Brother Liu, which were completely beyond the scope of some normal refusals, were simply racking their brains and deliberately wanted to drive him away immediately, and then go to bed with that rough man Tie Shengbiao......
yes,!
He hurriedly grabbed a drinker who came out of the building, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, please stay! May I ask the flower lady, is she still in this Luanfeng Mansion at this time?"
The drinker was stunned for a moment, but he nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, it's still there, but I don't pick up customers......"
Didn't she leave? Didn't she pass by here and stay only for three days? It's the fourth day, and she should have left!
If you were in a hurry to pick up customers, why don't you stop picking up customers at this time?
Could it be ......
A gleam flashed in Xiao's eyes.
Could it be that Tie Shengbiao was injured, but she didn't want to receive others?
Qian, she doesn't seem to care, this charming Hua Di seems to really want to pounce on Tie Shengbiao!
Why, why?
Xiao let go of his hand and staggered back two steps.
In a hurry to get to bed, he is the only one, in a hurry to get to bed, it is none other than him?
His eyelids twitched, and he finally lost his stupidity for a while, and a clear chain of clues slowly emerged in his mind.
This Tie Shengbiao definitely has something that a flower lady wants!
Xiao? I couldn't help but get a little excited, because finally, finally, he finally had something to do!
However, now in his simple thinking, it seems that there are only two plans for the present: either to go to the Iron Bull Gang and ask Tie Shengbiao to ask him face to face, but he probably won't, or to go to this Luan Feng Tower and find Miss Hua Di to ask him face to face.
Xiao hesitated outside the door for a while, maybe he was too lazy to walk more, or maybe he didn't want to see Tie Shengbiao, he shook his hair and walked into the lobby of Luanfeng Tower with his chest held high.
Is it dangerous? Naturally, it is dangerous.
It's just that Xiao is now completely a reckless man who is not afraid of death and does not want to die.
The only thing he fears now is to die in an inexplicable ghost place, and no one even steals the grave.
At this moment, on the side of the street, in the shadow of the bushes, but an unknown figure flashed away, and in an instant it had quickly left, and it seemed that it had touched in the opposite direction from the former.
......
The Luanfeng Building is still as lively as ever, with many girls around the richly dressed and wealthy men, smiling and walking to different floors and different wings.
But Xiao didn't even have a receptionist around him, and he looked extremely embarrassed. Perhaps it was because of his personal taste, although the clothes were new, but the style was too old-fashioned, and with a large cloth bag on his shoulder, he looked like a country man who didn't know anything and went into the city to see the excitement.
"Hey, you!" Someone finally noticed him, but it was the thug in the corner:
"This is not the place where a hillbilly like you should come, go back where you came from, don't force me to beat you!"
Xiao was silent on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart, and when he shook his hand, it was already a handful of broken silver that had been prepared, and he threw it in front of the thugs:
"People can't be good-looking, but why are people like you who are laborious like you now start calling themselves uncles?"
"Silver?"
The thugs picked up the silver, and their attitudes suddenly began to be respectful, and they smiled humbly: "No, no, no, it's a clumsy eye and a stupid mouth, just treat it as if someone just farted - you are the uncle, you are the uncle!"
"Well, that's good!" said Xiao as he tried his best to pretend to be very old-fashioned, puffing out his chest proudly:
"Do you have a bustard mother here? Quick, I'll call her to my uncle!"
"Yes, yes, you wait, we will go to Jiang - you guys, don't invite the uncle to sit down and watch the tea!"
The man at the head was quite clever, and immediately beckoned a few girls to come over, and began to serve Xiao in a hot and bewitching manner.
