After sitting for a while, Wang Yi suddenly felt that there was someone beside him, and opened his eyes, it turned out to be Zhou Liyuan.

Zhou Liyuan didn't know when he sat next to Wang Yi, raised the wine jug in his hand, took a sip of wine, saw Wang Yi open his eyes, and asked, "But you disturbed Lord Wang's Yaxing?"

Wang Yi smiled and gave Zhou Liyuan a punch, it was very light, hit on the body, Zhou Liyuan smiled, took out another wine jug from his arms, and gave it to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi did not refuse, took the wine jug, put the liquor into his stomach, Wang Yi wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and shouted hello.

Zhou Liyuan smiled and asked, "Lord Wang drinks a lot, so let's ask Lord Wang if he knows what kind of drink this is?"

Wang Yi frowned, pursed his lips, carefully recalled the taste of the wine just now, and couldn't remember what kind of drink it was for a while, there are a lot of drinks in the world, and it is normal not to remember, but Wang Yi always felt that he had drunk this kind of wine, but it was a little long and he couldn't remember it.

Zhou Liyuan frowned when he saw Wang Yi, knowing that Wang Yi should not be able to think of anything, and explained: "This is osmanthus stuffed, a specialty of Qingzhou." ”

Wang Yi suddenly realized, it turned out to be Qingzhou's osmanthus brew, he had drunk this kind of wine before, because Qingzhou was on the edge of Youzhou, when he was in the Qi Palace, he secretly drank this kind of wine from Qingzhou, at that time, those soldiers who were on errand in the Qi Palace, in addition to Youzhou people, there were many Qingzhou people, they often loved to drink this kind of osmanthus wine.

"It seems that you have experienced a lot of things when you went out this time. ”

Zhou Liyuan no longer sitting, lying on the roof, the wine jug in his hand on the roof, "It's okay, just to earn some money." ”

Wang Yi knew some things about Zhou Liyuan, as his subordinate, how could he investigate and know the details of Zhou Liyuan.

"For that senior brother of yours?"

Zhou Liyuan sighed slightly, nodded, and admitted, "I have an agreement with my senior brother that when I return to Chang'an City again, I will either kill him or give him a hundred taels of silver, so that I can stay in Chang'an City for a year." ”

Wang Yi was a little puzzled, why there was such a strange agreement, "Why?"

Zhou Liyuan touched the embroidered spring knife on his waist and said slowly, "In the past, I worshipped with my senior brother to learn knife techniques under the master's door, but the master was killed by the senior brother, I was going to take revenge, but how to be the opponent of the senior brother, after thirty-two strokes, I was knocked down by the senior brother The knife in my hand, there is no possibility of fighting again." ”

"Senior brother didn't kill me, but he left me at the gate outside the east gate of Chang'an City on the same snowy day as a few days ago, and told me not to return to Chang'an City without a word, otherwise he would kill me. ”

"The hundred taels of silver. ”

Zhou Liyuan took a big sip of wine, his expression was sad, and tears began to flow involuntarily, "After I came back, I asked my senior brother to fight once, and I lost again, but my senior brother didn't kill me, but let me gather a hundred taels of silver, so that I could continue to stay in Chang'an City for a year." ”

Wang Yi is a thorough understanding of the story between Zhou Liyuan and the senior brother who only exists in the Chinese book of the Jinyi Wei Library.

It is also an extremely common scene on the rivers and lakes where the senior brother kills the master and the junior brother takes revenge, the only difference is that in Zhou Liyuan's story, the junior brother did not kill the senior brother to avenge the master.

In fact, on the road of life, where is there as beautiful as recorded in the book, after many years of cultivation, the junior brother returned, and after experiencing a bloody battle with the senior brother, he was successfully killed

Senior brother, he avenged his master and restored the glory of his master again.

Yes, yes.

No, no.

Not all stories are beautiful, and there are sad stories like Zhou Liyuan.

It's just that people subconsciously choose not to see and not to record.

All they care about are those happy endings, those chivalrous stories of happy revenge, their history of struggle, but these stories are very popular with people, and they will sell one copy and sell one copy.

Wang Yi felt that this was not right, this was not good.

Wang Yi didn't ask Zhou Liyuan if he wanted to help, if Zhou Liyuan wanted to help, he would have opened his mouth a long time ago, and there was no need for Wang Yi to mention it again. How could the people of Jinyiwei have been bullied outside, Lu Zhong didn't send a message without flying pigeons back then, and asked Zhou Liyuan, but Zhou Liyuan refused, so now, he will not mention it again.

"I'm very curious, back then, your senior brother could actually kill Qiming, that was the number one swordsman in Chang'an City. ”

Zhou Liyuan said: "I don't know, this is all after I left Chang'an City, I don't know very well, or Lord Lu told me through Jinyiwei's intelligence system." ”

Wang Yi gently patted Zhou Liyuan's shoulder, "Don't worry, we have us." ”

Zhou Liyuan drank all the wine in the pot, threw the empty wine into the air, and finally the wine pot fell down and disappeared.

After a slight pause, Zhou Liyuan said, "Lord Wang, if one day, I, Zhou Liyuan, die, just bury me outside Chang'an City." I, Zhou Liyuan, have been an orphan since I was a child, raised by my master, and taken care of by my brother. ”

"I met Lord Lu again, Lord Wang, and the brothers of Jinyiwei, I am content, but I still want to see this Chang'an City again after I die. ”

Wang Yi nodded lightly, and then said jokingly: "Lao Zhou said that it is far away, I am dead, and you will not die." ”

Zhou Liyuan smiled, then got up, glanced at the brightly lit Chang'an City, and muttered, "I can't see enough, I can't see enough." ”

Zhou Liyuan said goodbye with a smile, and Wang Yi was silent.

Zhou Liyuan is not too can't see enough, but he is reluctant to his hometown.

Wang Yi suddenly thought of a word, and said it unconsciously, "Fallen leaves return to the roots." ”

"That's right, it's the fallen leaves back to the roots. ”

Listening to the voice behind him, Wang Yi didn't need to look back to know that this was the voice that belonged to Lu Zhong.

"Master Lu, I know that your cultivation is high, but you don't need to be so elusive. ”

Lu Zhong's figure slowly appeared beside Wang Yi, standing on the roof, holding an empty wine jug in his hand, gritting his teeth and saying: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I just don't know if Lord Wang knows who threw this wine jug, and he threw it so accurately that it was thrown directly on the old man's head." ”

Wang Yi coughed twice, spread out his hands, and said that he didn't know, but Lu Zhong wouldn't believe Wang Yi, it was really the expression on Wang Yi's face that was too cheap, Lu Zhong couldn't help it, and slapped it.

Wang Yi's eyes widened, and then his figure flashed, and disappeared in place, above the roof, where Wang Yi had just now, there was a slap, not big or deep.

Wang Yi's figure slowly appeared not far away, and he patted his chest. It's so dangerous, if you react a second slower, the slap will fall on you.

Wang Yi had no righteousness at all, and said directly: "Lord Lu was thrown by Zhou Liyuan, not me." ”

Lu Zhong crossed his hands into his sleeves, looked at Wang Yi in the distance, and sighed gently

said, "So that's the case, but Zhou Liyuan said that you threw it, who should I believe?"

Wang Yi now knew why Zhou Liyuan left with a smile in the end, and he was waiting for him here.

Wang Yi's mind turned, and he hurriedly ran to Lu Zhong's side, helped Lu Zhong sit down, and then gently beat Lu Zhong on Lu Zhong's back.

"Master Lu, how about it, my technique is good. ”

Lu Zhong closed his eyes, felt Wang Yi's technique, and praised: "Well, not bad, not bad." ”

Wang Yi asked, "Lord Lu, tomorrow will be His Majesty's birthday, what should we do?"

Lu Zhong opened his eyes, looked at Chang'an City, and said softly: "You don't have to do anything, it's all the matter of the Imperial Forest Army, besides, if something big happens, those troops outside Chang'an City are not vegetarians." ”

"So what do we do?"

Lu Zhong pointed in the direction of the Imperial City, which was brighter tonight than before the New Year was approaching.

"Tomorrow we'll be there to assist the Guards in screening people in and out, and then there's a mission. ”

Wang Yi stretched out his head and looked at Lu Zhong, waiting for Lu Zhong's answer.

"That's eating, you give me orders tomorrow, eat hard, eat whatever you want, but pay attention to my image, don't embarrass Lao Tzu, otherwise I will drive you out directly, don't blame the old man." ”

Wang Yi replied with a smile, "How can it, our brothers in Jinyiwei are more or less people who have seen the world, and they won't be at that time." ”

Lu Zhong shook his head and continued: "I'm not afraid of this, I'm afraid that they will dislike eating too little, so they will pack it up and bring it back." Let's talk about it first, if such a thing happens, and you make me have no face to see hundreds of officials, I will let you know what the ten tortures of Jinyiwei's edict are. ”

Wang Yi was directly stunned on the spot, and he asked in a low voice, "No." ”

Lu Zhong waved his hand, "I have been with them for longer than you, I know better than you what this group of people looks like, so I just instructed." ”

Lu Zhong probably didn't know that when he said these words, the corners of his mouth were smiling. Yes, it is these different places of Jinyiwei that can allow Jinyiwei to survive those dark years and see the light now.

"Lord Lu has never asked, where is your hometown. ”

Lu Zhong was silent for a while and said, "Qingzhou." ”

Qingzhou and Youzhou are both northern borders, and they are harassed by the Northern Qi cavalry all the year round, so some people in Daming laughed that people from Youzhou and Qingzhou can be counted as half of the same townspeople.

Wang Yi pursed his lips, "I didn't expect Lord Lu to be from the same border." ”

Lu Zhong said: "I didn't expect to meet half of my fellow villagers in Chang'an City. ”

"How long has it been since you returned to Qingzhou?"

Lu Zhong sat there and thought about it carefully, "I can't remember clearly, it's been too long, it should have been thirty years." ”

"Why don't you go back and have a look. ”

Lu Zhong said helplessly: "Most of it is because Jinyiwei is here. ”

After that, there is no follow-up, most of it is this, so a small part.

Lu Zhong didn't say anything.

A small part is that he is accustomed to seeing the peaceful and prosperous era of worry-free food and clothing, and when he looks back at Qingzhou, which has been in war all year round, Lu Zhong doesn't know how to face it, and he doesn't know what to do. I had to take a look at it from a distance every year when the Qingzhou scholars arrived in Chang'an City, and they could help.
