After Mrs. Xu finished saying this, she suppressed the meaning and worry in her eyes, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to the silent woman Osmanthus beside her: "I'm afraid I can't hang out with my sister, but my sister's purchase in Luoyang is all counted on me." Saying that, he took out a sign printed with the word "Xu" from his sleeve and said: "This is my Xu family's guest card, if my sister does not dislike it, she will accept it, and you can keep accounts when you walk in Luoyang with this card, and then someone will pay the bill." ”

The woman hesitated a little but did not accept it generously, not greedy for those money, but it may be much more convenient to walk in Luoyang, but she said to Mrs. Xu with a serious expression: "Since it is my sister's child who has an accident, just like my own child, I will naturally contribute to help investigate, our couple can be embroidered clothes so that they can survive safely for so many years, naturally there are some means, my sister will be busy first, and our husband and wife will also start to investigate." After a pause of some hesitation, he finally said in a secret voice, "Sister, you should know that wherever we go, there are generally some abnormalities, and my sister needs to be more careful." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, tidied up her appearance slightly, and returned to that calm and unhurried demeanor, and went straight to Sima Mansion.

As Mrs. Xu and her party left quickly, the originally lively room became empty, and the honest man who had been silently outside the house also walked in, watching the woman move her lips, and stopped talking.

The woman sighed lightly, glanced at the man helplessly, and said, "Don't worry, I know in my heart, what can and can't be said is still clear." As he spoke, he turned his head and looked through the window at the street where people gradually appeared because the rain stopped, and muttered to himself with a headache, "This Luoyang is really more lively than before." ”

-------------------------------------

This is the third year that Xiao Zhang, the guard of Luoyang City Gate, has been sent to watch the gate.

After three years of wind and rain, the fighting spirit of the originally high-spirited young man with dreams has been almost polished, but his dream can still be used to think about it when there is no one in the silence at midnight. Xu is exposed to a lot of wind and sun, so the young man will soon become a little old, with dark skin and a scruffy beard, and he looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties. It's a pity that Xiao Zhang still hasn't been able to make up for Lao Zhang, and waited for a recruit like him to call him, so he did most of the errand work, and he mostly bought it when everyone got together to drink after duty. Of course, he never cared, anyway, what did he do with all that money. Even if the occasional taciturn Lao Guo would invite a guest, Xiao Zhang would use the money saved to buy a roast chicken and bring it to Lao Guo, and the two of them eliminated it together.

Lao Guo likes to eat chicken butts, and Xiao Zhang likes to eat chicken wings.

Xu is a little sympathetic, so Lao Guo, an old bachelor who never pays attention to people, can only have a good face for this Xiao Zhang Xiaobachelor, as for the others, they are too lazy to take care of it, and those who dare to laugh at Lao Guo on weekdays are the only ones who want to ask for a drink.

"What the hell is the weather!" Xiao Zhang shuddered slightly, and cursed helplessly.

It is said that it will not be rained in the city gate cave, but the climate will be a little wet and cold under the heavy rain, Xiao Zhang, who was wearing a single coat, felt a slight chill at this time, and even more with the flow of people and inevitably splashed mud, Xiao Zhang's trouser legs have been sprayed with a layer of mud, and I couldn't help but say a few words in my stomach, and I couldn't help but think about whether I could be generous and go to the drunken fairy building to eat a "hot pot"? It is said that this is a way of eating from Chang'an, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty like to eat this the most, but the price is really not cheap, Xiao Zhang only accompanied the boss to grit his teeth and eat once, the feeling of sweating but hearty is still fresh in my memory.

"Eat!, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to tighten my belt for the rest of my life. Xiao Zhang thought a little absent-mindedly, and looked at the person in front of him casually, waved his hand and let him go.

After all, I have been here for three years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I have read countless people, although I am lazy on my face, I have long been familiar with the hearts of people passing by in a rough category, and I can see eight or nine without leaving ten with just a slight sweep.

It's just that Xiao Zhang's originally lazy expression was slightly paused, and he looked at a person who suddenly appeared outside the city gate with some doubts.

A Taoist, a Taoist who is extraordinary at first glance.

Even if the rain has just poured down, the road is a little muddy, and there is still some cold wind blowing at this time, but this person is clean as if it is not stained, and the cold wind blows through the long beard of the Taoist, which has a sense of being a fairy among the people. The people who left the country already respected the Taoist, and this Taoist person looked so extraordinary and naturally caused a commotion, and some pious believers bowed their heads to show respect.

Xiao Zhang is a little strange, this person seems to appear out of thin air, presumably a real cultivator, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a person among the immortals, but the style of this person's Taoist robe does not seem to be the style of leaving the country. After thinking about it, he didn't make a sound, but he sneered in his heart and thought, "What about cultivators, as long as they are not from those holy places, they still have to obediently pass from me?"

The man seemed to hear Xiao Zhang's thoughts, glanced at him consciously, just smiled slightly and shook his head lightly without care, but turned around and walked to Lao Guo, who was napping alone.

Lao Guo seemed to sense that someone was approaching, and opened his eyes slightly to look at the Taoist, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was a little helpless.

The Taoist smiled slightly and said loudly: "I haven't seen you for many years, Lao Guo, your half-dead demeanor is still the same, I don't know if you still know Zhou?"

Lao Guo twisted his body slightly, he didn't want to deal with the person, but he just thought about the difficulty of this person, and he reluctantly opened his mouth and said: "Your comprehensive name, I'm afraid that few people in the cultivation world don't know, what are you doing in Luoyang?" Xu didn't speak for a long time, his voice was like a golden stone, a little hoarse but not unpleasant.

Zhou Quan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but the guards next to him, especially Xiao Zhang, were taken aback, and some looked at each other and said that this was the first time he heard Lao Guo speak, and he had always thought that Lao Guo was a mute. But I don't know what the origin of this person is, who can force Lao Guo, who has not spoken for several years, to speak.

Zhou Quan smiled slightly, but said: "Oh, what else can I do, it is naturally a small business." That is, to hand a message to someone, and take someone away by the way. Don't worry that the muddy waters of Luoyang are too deep, and I have always been clean and self-conscious, and I won't go inside. ”

Lao Guo sighed a little helplessly, and said in his heart that your ability to escape for your life is notoriously powerful, if you really see any benefits, it is really hard to say whether you will run away with a vote. But he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up and get out of the house when you're done, don't disturb my sleep." ”

Zhou Quan sighed a little sadly and said: "Lao Guo, your words hurt my heart too much, I thought that the two of us were old friends at first sight, and we were acquaintances who had met a few times." ”

It's just that Lao Guo simply buried his head and ignored him, but he muttered helplessly in his heart, "The fart is a year-old friend." ”

Zhou Quan didn't get annoyed when he saw Lao Guo ignoring people, he smiled slightly and walked in, and didn't forget to leave a sentence, "When I'm done, I'll come back and invite you to drink a pot of good wine." ”

Zhou Quan entered Luoyang City with some emotion, but he was a little troubled and thought, "Anyway, it's still early, why don't you go to the world-famous Qingyin Workshop to have a look, or go to the Yihong Courtyard to have a look, I heard that it is an ecstasy cave, and my image seems to be a little inappropriate." After a pause, he thought again, "Whatever, I heard Lao Xu say that this Yihong Courtyard is the property of the patron's family." Tsk, I didn't expect Lao Xu to be good at what he was doing, but he was lucky to run into a big wrong, I'm afraid that he has been looting a lot over the years, his family is so rich, and the proposed remuneration is really difficult to refuse, but he was beaten a little miserable. ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Quan made up his mind to go to Nayi Red House first, after all, it was related to the patron, and he might be able to ...... Piao, phew, that's called connoisseurship. But he couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart: "It shouldn't be okay to delay for a while, right? That kid named Xu Qinghui can't fly out of thin air." After thinking about it, he shook his head and shook off those bad thoughts, pinched his fingers with a smile, and hurried towards Yihong Building.

-------------------------------------

The Sima family is the military family with the longest history of leaving the country.

The old man Sima is the pillar of the Sima family, although he is old, and the position of the head of the family has been passed to his son, but this old man who was crowned as the "protector of the country" still holds the absolute right to speak in the Sima family. At the beginning, the dispute that affected all the countries in the world, it was the old man and the born Han Ru who suppressed the chaos of leaving the country, if Han Ru is the spear of the main killing, the old man is the most indestructible shield of leaving the country. Unlike Han Ru, the newly rising god of killing, the Sima family is more deeply rooted and influential in leaving the country.

The old man's cultivation is not bad, even if he is already in the age of sixties, but he is still in good spirits and can carry the tripod. From time to time, I could hear the old man laughing heartily, and the shouting and scolding of his sons who had nothing to do to teach him a few unsuccessful words, to the effect that he hadn't made a few great-grandsons for himself for so long.

It's just that the Sima Mansion, which was a little lively in the past, is dead silent at this time, and even the subordinates who usually don't pay much attention to the rules are also silent at this time, a little sad and worried.

The old man was standing in the middle of the lobby, his kind expression in the past was completely gone, and he looked at Mrs. Xu under the hall with some solemnity.

Mrs. Xu's body was slightly tired, but she looked up and looked back without the slightest timidity.
