Song Ke was silent, and after a while, the corners of his mouth overflowed with a trace of bitterness, "It's not down, it's also a self-punishment." Then he reached out and touched the glass, and drank it with his mouth. Okra stared at him without saying a word, and Xia Yan's gaze fell on the expression at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he was a little sad - but in just a few months, he was no longer the high-spirited Song Ke of the day - or never to be the rash and flying boy again.

After drinking this cup, Song Kecai said again: "Just mention the last sentence - this is the antidote to the poison on the sword that day." I heard that Lord Zhu's health has long been fine, and he may not take this antidote in his eyes, but--I specially brought it here today, and Miss Ruoqiu is willing to accept it......"

"Leave the antidote to me. Xia Yan was afraid that okra would say no more words of refusal, so he reached out and took the medicine bag, "But my 'Lingding' sword, I don't plan to return you." ”

"That sword is ominous. On the side, Song Ran said, "Ah Ke also got a new blade when he returned to Chenzhou, and the broken sword 'Lingding', I have always said that it is better not to do it." ”

Seeing that several people didn't respond, Song Ran thought for a while, raised his glass and said: "Young Master Xia, Young Master Fengming, Miss Qiu, Song Ran knows that Ah Ke and Qianshan have had many unhappiness with you before, and I, as a brother, also have a responsibility here. I also hope that the three adults have a lot, if they are willing to treat my Song family as a friend and no longer an enemy, Song Ran is grateful. ”

"Of course, it's to be a friend – a 'family'. Shen Fengming answered, his posture was already leisurely, "I don't believe you ask Jun Li, you are a guest at the helmsman of this new black bamboo chief, if you weren't a 'family', how could I invite you here?"

Having said that, his tone was sarcastic, and even brought a bit of master-like demonstration, so that Xia Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, and then cast a reminding look at Shen Fengming. Shen Fengming glanced back at him sideways, naturally understood what he meant, moved his eyebrows and replied to him-"Since Song Ran treats me as an outsider, why should I treat him as a friend?"

He didn't say anything, but when he looked over, Xia Yan somewhat understood, so he could only sigh helplessly. He always seems to be in such a situation that two people who are friends can't be friends with each other. But he wasn't too worried, thinking about the appearance of Shen Fengming and okra at the beginning, isn't it very good now, think about it - you don't have to force peace by yourself, you will see people's hearts over time, and in the future, these two people will always know that each other is actually very desirable.

Except-this Mrs. Song, it's best not to really have anything to do with Shen Fengming. He had a little headache when he thought of this section, and he couldn't help but reach out and stroke his forehead, only to feel that what was next to him could guess Shen Fengming's thoughts, only such things - he couldn't see Shen Fengming's neck, so he couldn't judge what he thought. He only knew—then again—that Okra was finally willing to nod to Shen Fengming, and if he had made Okra sad for some mess at this time, it would have been his fault anyway.

Although they have their own merits in their hearts, they are really relieved of their previous suspicions and turn enemies into friends, and this table of wine will continue like this. After eating and drinking, Xia Yan said: "Since Feng Ming has invited you to the Black Bamboo Helm, I will simply take you around here." This general steering mechanism is painted according to the wall of gold medals in Chenzhou, because there are still some mantissa that have not been completed, so it is not easy to use, but there is no danger. ”

Walking through the original main hall and apse of the temple, Xia Yan and Song Ran and his wife walked in front unconsciously, and Shen Fengming and okra only walked behind with Song Ke. Song Ran looked back, and saw that the two groups of people were far apart, so he said, "It's just right, Jun Li, I have something to tell you." ”

Xia Yan nodded, and unconsciously glanced at the Yue clan beside him, Song Ran understood, so he made a gesture with the Yue clan, and the latter nodded when he saw it, and withdrew from the hall.

Xia Yan was a little unbelievable, "Mrs. Song is really ......?"

"It's true that she's been deaf since she was a child, she can't hear anything, and she can't read, so it doesn't matter what we say or write in front of her. I'm used to it, but if you think it's very inconvenient for her to talk in the presence of Childe, I'd better tell her to go out first. ”

Xia Yan looked at him with some complexity in his eyes.

Song Ran seemed to guess what he was thinking, and couldn't help laughing: "Does Jun Li Gongzi think that I found such a woman as a wife for the sake of Heizhu and for this position of record? After a pause, his eyes seemed to shine a little, "But wrong." When I met her in Jiankang, I just glanced at her, and I already felt that I had a heart with her, even if I was not this record - I would still marry her, I can only say that God gave her to me, in fact, it was fate, so that I could get both. Childe can believe that if a person is deficient in some places, he must excel in some places. If a woman can speak and write, and even talk to me about poetry and literature, of course, it is fine, but compared with the two, I would rather choose a person who looks at each other and has a spirit. Besides, poetry and literature are just a cloak that I borrowed, and it would be no fun to live a lifetime with someone who could only show his cloak but could not show his true nature. ”

Xia Yan smiled. "Of course. Brother Ran has to weave his identity outside the net, hiding from the world, how hard it is, if he can't have his true nature at home, this record will really not be able to continue. - Brother Ran's wife is like this, which is admirable. ”

Song Ran also smiled, "Finally, she also came to Lin'an, I plan to walk around with her in Lin'an for a while, make some friends, and wait until everything is settled and the land is familiar, and I want to accompany her back to Jiankang again in the month of Layue - this time she came in a hurry to cross the river because she was in a hurry with Ake, and she didn't go around Jiankang to see her family." ”

"You just have to go, you don't have to tell me everything. Xia Yan said, "You called me alone, are you talking about this?"

"Not really. Song Ran reached into his placket and took out a booklet that had been stapled, "It's for you this." ”

He handed the booklet to Xia Yan, "Didn't you tell me last time, you haven't been able to make a complete list of all the people in Heizhu now." After I moved home, I carefully sorted out the records of the meeting you transferred to me that day, plus some of the original materials in hand, and in the past two days, with the help of Ake and Qianshan, I probably listed the people clearly. ”

Xia Yan had already opened the booklet and looked, "...... There are more than 700 people, so many?"

"The records that can be found at the moment are listed among them, and they are not few. Song Ran said, "But if you follow the number of Zhang Gongchang at that time - there are about 400 people on Maas's side at most, and more than 200 people on Fengming's side, after the battle for the gold medal in Tiandu Peak, Maas's has gone a lot, and the total of 400 on both sides is less, plus there are dozens of new entrants this year, and then remove the casualties and losses - well, if you ask what can be called at the moment, it should be less than 500." ”

Xia Yan flipped through a page or two, only to feel that most of the names were unknown, and said in his mouth, "'The Expedition of Shuangqin' Feng Ming took the 'Gold Medal Order' to gather one hundred and twenty people, and in addition, I know that there are Lin'an and various light and dark stakes in my hands, and if they don't move, even if they are a hundred, in addition to this--that is to say, half of them are scattered outside?—— are you sure these people can still be called?"

"Everyone has only entered the black bamboo, and there will be no trace left behind, especially if it can be found in the records, even if a task has not been done, there must always be a recommender who introduces the door, and there is a partner who recognizes him. Start with those clues with a lot of clues, one to find two, two to find four, not to mention that you can call it right away, and you can always get it back after spending some time. ”

"It doesn't have to be — I don't care about the numbers. Xia Yan closed the booklet, "Dozens of people may not be as good as a silver medal that can be carried alone - if there are really hundreds of people in Heizhu, but at the moment there is only one gold medal plus four or five silver medals in the 'master', which is still a little less-it is not what the Black Bamboo Club should be, if there is this roster, I can discuss it with Feng Ming." ”

"Jun Li," Song Ran stopped him, "you—want to discuss with Feng Ming?"

Xia Yan noticed a hint of hesitation in his tone, and stopped: "What does Brother Ran mean?"

Song Ran opened his mouth, "...... No, I'm just asking. ”

"There's something to say, but it's okay to say it. Xia Yan said with a smile, "Don't you think that Brother Ran thinks that I should make my own decision on this matter?" But I, to be honest, the days of coming here are short, and they are really not as broad as Feng Ming's face, and there are many people here I don't know, so he may know the details." ”

"That's what I'm worried about. Song Ran said, "Did Childe find out that you relied too much on Xinfeng Ming alone?"

Xia Yan smiled, "He is Heizhu's 'gold medal', who do I not trust him?" paused, "I know what Brother Ran means-Feng Ming he-is indeed too forgetful sometimes, and his mouth is open-mouthed-today's matter is that I will be annoyed, Brother Ran-Mo is generally knowledgeable with him, and most of him now knows that he has misidentified people, isn't this silent?But he has no malice, and he has no second heart for Heizhu, Brother Ran really doesn't have to worry about this." ”

Song Ran almost paused, "I was telling you about the Black Bamboo Society, where did I have a personal grudge because of a few words." Childe, you are serious—there is a bit of a fan of the authorities, last time I said that Childe should not ask him to come to me alone, I only said that you can understand the truth of this—if you stand in the perspective of a bystander, you should see it clearly, in his position, in his situation, how can he really be willing to think only about you? It doesn't matter what he said at the Guining banquet today, but he seems to have regarded himself as the new helmsman, and Childe really didn't take it to heart?"

Song Ran's words have never been peaceful, and when he said this, it was already intense. Xia Yan hesitated and changed the subject, "Brother Ran didn't find Ling Daxia's place last time when he said that Fang came to Lin'an, have you seen him recently?"

"Sharp Son?...... Yes, of course. ”

Xia Yan sighed softly. "I know why Brother Ran is so wary of Feng Ming. ”

Song Ran also seemed to realize what he meant, and was silent for a while.

"Feng Ming's origin, others don't know, the recorder is well-informed, and all kinds of records are complete, if you deliberately go to find evidence and check, it is easy to deduce his origin. ”
