Perhaps it was a stranger to the young man with long hair hanging down his waist, his beard sparse, and his radiant face, the officers and soldiers on the city wall mistook Xiao for a herdsman from the north, and for a while they opened the city gate with their bows and arrows, and scolded and drove them away, until Xiao opened the city gate suspiciously when he spoke a pure Chinese dialect.

It was still a careful and cautious search and comparison with the wanted warrant, but in addition to these, the officers and soldiers were obviously very interested in the strangely colored King Kong seat on Xiao's back, and stared at it for a long time, and then groped and beat for a while.

"What is this?"

The ironclad officer and soldier asked cautiously, pointing to the vajra seat.

"It's ...... A bench. ”

Xiao already sensed that something was wrong, so he reluctantly changed his words and called the weapon "a bench".

"A bench made of iron?" the officers and soldiers asked suspiciously, "can't it be a new type of hidden weapon......

They also reached out and fumbled at the diamond-shaped notch in the center of the bench, but it was clear that there was nothing sinister to scare the poison to pop out.

However, despite this, after some whispered discussion, the officers and soldiers resolutely shook their heads: "You can't take it into the customs. ”

"Why?" Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then became a little anxious.

However, no matter how he explained that this was just an "ordinary" goblin iron bench, the officers and soldiers still bit their mouths and did not let go, insisting that this would be something extremely dangerous.

"Either leave it or get out of the customs immediately!"

The answer of the officers and men was categorical.

"Then I'll get out now......"

Xiao shook his head, he didn't want to have any quarrel with these soldiers who were guarding the frontier and defending the country, so he had no choice but to turn over and get on the horse, but he wanted to see if he could find the hidden wolf sleeping in the wilderness, and ask him what the "method" was to enter the customs without being discovered.

"Leave your name and we'll record it!" the officers and soldiers asked as they motioned to open the city gates.

"My name is Shaw?!" as for that...... Xiao felt a pain in his heart, but he replied helplessly, and he was about to turn around and leave.

"Xiao ?...... Resemble?...... Please wait!" When the officers and soldiers heard this name, they were stunned at first, and then hurriedly chased after them and stopped Xiao, who had already stepped out of the city gate on half a horse.

"Since I have decided to leave, it proves that I have no intention of causing trouble!" Xiao Xiao's vigilant eyes continued to scan the crowd, and he said in a deep voice: "Please don't force each other hard!"

"There is no such intention! It's just that this name is very familiar......" The two officers and soldiers hurriedly explained, and then asked: "Your Excellency, isn't it the Xiao who defeated the red-faced old demon on the Shaolin Temple in Songshan?"

"Songshan?Old Devil?" Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then replied with some hesitation: "It's here, do you have anything to do?"

"It turns out that it's really Xiao Shaoxia!"

"It's really him!"

The officers and men burst into shouts of surprise, and for a while, almost all the officers and men temporarily left their posts and gathered around Xiao with excitement on their faces.

"You ...... What are you going to do?"

Seeing so many soldiers in iron armor approaching one after another, not only Xiao was startled, but even the horses under his crotch were also startled, and raised their front hooves high.

"I don't know if it's Xiao Shaoxia who came, I really neglected your master!" The officers and soldiers who searched before apologized again and again: "I don't want to be surprised if you neglect Xiao Shaoxia!"

"Since it's Xiao Shaoxia's thing, it must not be a harmful thing, you can enter the customs, you can enter the customs!"

Another officer and soldier also hurriedly said.

"I......" Xiao didn't react for a while, but looking at the officers and soldiers with enthusiastic faces, he could only hesitantly get off his horse and turn around.

Facing the officers and soldiers surrounding him, it took him half a time to come back to his senses, it turned out that he and the Shaolin Temple defeated the red-faced old devil and stabbed the centipede spirit to death, and for some reason it had been spread to the frontier.

"Xiao, Shaoxia, is it, I have admired the name for a long time!" A tall man with a general helmet followed the voice and said to Xiao: "I am the guard of the pass here, surnamed Ge Mingxuan, Xiao Shaoxia's name, like thunder, when I see it today, it is really different from ordinary people!"

"Oh, General Ge, hello, hello......"

Xiao subconsciously touched the scars on his cheeks and mottled beard, thinking that this sentence "different from ordinary people" was really polite.

"Where is Xiao Shaoxia going? But chasing and killing that red-faced old demon?"

"Uh...... Let's see if we can meet ......."

"What's the hurry?"

"This ...... I shouldn't be in a hurry......"

"That's good!" Ge Xuan heard this, and immediately laughed and said: "In this case, I would like to set up a thin banquet for Xiao Shaoxia to catch the wind and wash the dust, and return to Xiao Shaoxia to enjoy the light!"

"I ......"

When Xiao heard this, his first reaction was to quickly resign, not only because he had succeeded in his studies and returned to his heart like an arrow, but also because the so-called "defeat of the red-faced old devil" was just a narrow victory obtained under the heavy coincidence and the carelessness of the opponent.

However, after some excuses, looking at the expectant expressions of the officers and soldiers, as well as the words that he had struggled to hold, Xiao glanced at his face, and it was not too early, and his heart was also soft at the moment, and he accepted it.

"Great!"

When the soldiers finally agreed, they immediately cheered and hurriedly cheered for this hard-won banquet.

During this period, there was no need for Xiao to squeak, the luggage and horses were instantly handled in an orderly manner under the rapid arrangement of the soldiers, and he sat on the chair blankly, and before he could recover from his stunned mood, the hot wine and food had been moved in front of him.

The frontier soldiers did not have a luxurious hall, gambled on wine and food, and could not even squeeze out a spacious room, so everyone could only set up bonfires, tables and chairs, and sang and danced in high spirits against the flying wind and snow.

Xiao was a little restrained at first, but soon he was overcome by the sincerity and enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers, and as they sang and danced around the bonfire, the crackling bonfire reflected every face red.

Although he was eating freshly slaughtered animal meat in his mouth and drinking the simplest water and wine, because of the company and noise of the soldiers, he felt that it was more delicious than any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Of course, despite the pleasure of the soldiers, their duty should not be forgotten, and the officers and soldiers who were guarding the guard today could not participate in it in any way, and could only occasionally turn around on the city wall and smile silly.

The soldiers also toasted Xiao frequently, as if they wanted to get him drunk so that he could stay here longer. Bitter wine glass after cup, according to Xiao's amount of alcohol, he should have been drunk at this time, but before he was drunk, the internal force of true qi in the meridians and blood vessels involuntarily began to run rapidly, turning the wine gas into wisps of steam, which swayed up along the pores on the surface of the body. Therefore, the soldiers who "harbored ghosts" not only failed to put down Xiao, but they began to stand unsteadily.

After three rounds of drinking, they were tired of singing and dancing and chatting with everyone, and began to chat, they were not born to be stationed here, but also through some transfers, from all over the Central Plains.

Slowly, the topic naturally turned to the head of the "red-faced old devil", and it was at this time that Xiao realized why these officers and soldiers were so excited-

Because there are too many of them, they have been persecuted by the red-faced old devil.

Some people were killed by their loved ones, some were friends who died on the road of resistance, and some people witnessed the people of the entire village and town next door being poisoned and being used as test subjects.

"Why didn't the government send troops to encircle and suppress him?" Twenty-year-old Xiao finally asked this question that had been suppressed in his heart for more than ten years at this moment in an equal position.

However, the result of the question was faintly expected by him

"Alas, Xiao, Shaoxia, you don't know anything...... Ge Xuan shook his head and said, "It's not that we don't encircle and suppress, but there is no way to deal with him!"

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao's eyes widened.

"Who is the red-faced old devil? The No. 1 Poison Master in the Western Regions! He is strong in martial arts, and he is extremely cunning and ruthless, and the government has sent troops to arrest him every year, and the people who are often sent out have not returned...... General Ge Xuan sighed, "Later, he alarmed the saint, and sent enough people to surround and kill the old demon, and dispatched several times, but there are many people and it is easy to startle the snake, and often before the soldiers and horses of the official government arrive, the old thief has already heard the rumors and fled......

"Gradually, the government and the court have also given up on arresting him, and can only continue to increase the reward for the old devil's head - in recent years, the old gang leader Lu Shuhuan who listened to the beggars gang was also murdered, although the reward was offered as the gang leader, but it was also inconclusive......"

"A character who can't even capture the old heroes of the beggar gang, how can we, the soldiers with low martial arts, be his opponents?"

General Ge Xuan was silent for a while, slapped his thigh fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "If I can, I really want to slash that old devil and break him into pieces!"

"Did the general and the old devil have a holiday?" asked Xiao suspiciously.

"Xiao Shaoxia, you don't know anything," General Ge Xuan said, "That old devil doesn't know what is crazy, he has always loved to kidnap boys and girls, I have a daughter, because she is stationed outside all the year round, she can't protect her, she was kidnapped by the old devil when she was five years old, and her life and death are still uncertain......

"If she is still alive, she should be as old as Xiao Shaoxia......" Ge Xuan also glanced at Xiao deeply.

Hearing this, Xiao couldn't help frowning and said, "Can General Ge order the name of the woman?"
