It seems that my father and Mr. Ma are not in Zhanbu Prefecture, and this trip is still in vain, and now I can only walk around to have a look. Fortunately, it is now certain that neither my father nor Mr. Ma are in danger. My mother had also said before that if you can take a walk in Zhanbu Prefecture, you may be able to gain a lot.

There are all monks in this Zhanbu Prefecture, and they all seem to have a low realm, but if there is a higher realm, it is not easy to mess with.

A pair of young people rode together on a jujube red horse, planning to go south first, and then west, striving to return to Shengshenzhou in a year.

After changing back into a red dress from Qiushui, Zhang Muliu still had the ability to comb his hair, so he made a style he liked, took a strand of hair on each side of the woman, braided it into a small braid and tied it at the back of his head. Zhang Muliu changed into a green shirt, neither of them changed their faces, nor did they carry swords, just the appearance of a pair of heroes in the rivers and lakes.

The woman sitting in front of her tilted her head and kept tapping the young man's shoulder, and the young man held the woman's waist with one hand and tugged at the reins with the other.

"The front should be to the Xixi country, which is only a little bigger than our Weiguo in Shengshenzhou, and it is a veritable small country. However, the folk customs are good, and it is said that there has never been a curfew, although there are few monks, but there are many chivalrous. Li Qiushui leaned back against Zhang Muliu and said softly.

The young man smiled and said, "Then why don't we also be knights?"

Liqiushui swayed like a little girl, and nodded slightly after a while, perhaps because he was afraid that Zhang Muliu would not be able to see it, so he raised his fist and bent his wrist a few times to nod.

Zhang Muliu was amused by this stupid and naïve action, and only after the laughter stopped, he said: "But you have to listen to me, since we want to pretend to be a chivalrous man, then we have to be like some, but we can't cut people if we are a little angry!"

The woman pursed her lips and snorted, "I know, I know, is this girl the unreasonable person?"

Originally, he laughed again, but Zhang Muliu suddenly felt a little sad for some reason. He stopped by a river, wrapped his hands around the woman's waist from behind, and his voice trembled: "If those memories of yours are like hers, and they are forced into your mind, what are we going to do?"

Li Qiushui turned sideways, tried his best to turn his head to stare at Zhang Muliu, leaned on his shoulder and smiled, and said playfully: "What do you think! I will only be myself in the past or now, even in the future, and it is not those vague memories that like you, but the real me." ”

Zhang Muliu smiled bitterly: "What about me? After that dream, can I still be regarded as the real me?"

The woman knocked the young man on the shoulder vigorously, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Does it hurt? ”

What Zhang Muliu has always been worried about is not that he is from Qiushui, but that he is the same as Li Yuzhen, they are all a wisp of other people's souls. He was worried about whether he would not be himself a long time ago, in fact, since he woke up from that dream, this question has been lingering in his mind.

There has always been a group of people in front, and fourteen or fifteen men with swords on their backs will protect a carriage in the middle. Judging by the luxury of the carriage, this person must be a high-ranking official of the Xiguo Kingdom. It was getting dark, and there were still hundreds of miles to the nearest city, and it seemed that they were preparing to camp here.

Zhang Muliu was originally going to walk in front of them, and it would be good to find a village to spend the night. It doesn't matter if you're alone, but now you can be regarded as a drag on your family, and you can't be wronged by Qiushui. It was just that he glanced at the old man sitting in the center, and then turned his head to look at the depths of the dense forest, and then dispelled this thought, and prepared to spend the night here.

The jujube red horse is an ordinary horse, and it has traveled hundreds of miles all the way here, and it is time to let it rest. Liqiushui led Zhang Muliu, Zhang Muliu led the horse, and walked to the river together.

The old man in the distance had been paying attention to the two of them since he got out of the carriage, and at this moment he saw that the young man had cut a branch and used it as a fishing rod, and saw that he was going to fish, so he asked someone to bring two fishing rods, and let the guards stay in the distance, and walked alone in the direction of the young man.

"Young man, your wood is too heavy for the fish to detect if it is hooked, so why don't you use the old man's fishing rod?" said the old man.

Li Qiushui had already picked up a bunch of firewood and came back, looked at the old man who was next to Zhang Muliu, and scolded: "Why can this guy always chat with the old man?"

Zhang Muliu smiled and invited the old man to sit on the stone platform, and the old man didn't care about soiling his brocade clothes, sat on the stone with his buttocks, handed over the fishing rod and fished with the young man.

The old man was also a bad person, and first gave a thumbs up, then leaned over and whispered, "This beautiful girl is your daughter-in-law."

Zhang Muliu nodded and said, "The old man praises it, but I also think I am very powerful." Actually, she is my senior sister, three years older than me, and I secretly liked her when I was very young, so I made a lot of jokes. Later, as she grew older, I pestered her every day with a cheeky face, and finally turned my sister into a daughter-in-law. ”

The old man looked at the young man with a smirk, and he himself unconsciously grinned, smiling constantly. He gave a thumbs up again and said to the young man: "How can a man please his wife if he is not thick-skinned, I was a poor scholar when I was young, and the wife in the family is not a rich family, but the family has opened a shop that sells noodles, so I live better than me." At that time, I would go to the shop every day when they were almost closing, and without saying a word, I would first pick up a rag and wipe the tables and chairs clean, and then put the pots and pans in order, and then leave without saying a word. ”

Zhang Muliu said strangely: "You haven't been beaten yet?"

The old man continued: "Of course I was beaten, and my father-in-law beat me with a rolling pin, and my nose and face were swollen. But I'll still go the next day, no matter how hard I'm beaten, I'll go. Once, my wife couldn't stand it anymore, and she helped me up with her father's rolling pin, and from where I knew that she was the woman who accompanied me all my life. ”

Zhang Muliu laughed, and said in his heart that this old man is really funny. I don't want to think about it, if his old man doesn't like him, he won't be helped up by his daughter.

"The old man's method is a good way, but unfortunately I don't need it anymore, and I also know that the woman who has been with me for a lifetime is her. But in the future, if I meet the right person, I will definitely pass on this trick to him. ”

Walking up a few steps away from Qiushui, he first saluted the old man, and then strangled Zhang Muliu's neck with one arm, and sneered: "This old gentleman is willing to pass on your tricks, so you dare to learn?"

The young man shook his head like a rattle and threw a look of help at the old man.

It's just that the old man didn't seem to notice the movement on the side at all, just buried his head in fishing, extremely serious.

In fact, the old man lamented for the young people around him in his heart, and the sorrow started from his heart and lasted endlessly. The old man actually wanted to say to the young man:

"Young man, your daughter-in-law and my wife definitely have a fight, the old man really can't afford to provoke me, don't blame me for being unrighteous. ”

A group of guards in the distance kept an eye on this side, as if they were afraid that something would happen to the old man. A middle-aged man with a smile on his face and swaying walked up to the man at the head and said with a smile: "Boss, I don't look like a good stubble!

The man at the head said disdainfully: "It is estimated that the two young people who have never held a knife have nothing to worry about." What's more, the old man's vision of knowing people, you and I don't know? He is willing to fish with that young man, which shows that this young man is at least human. ”

The middle-aged fat man smiled and nodded, with an imperceptible smile on his face, and slowly retreated to the back.

Zhang Muliu couldn't resist this old man who called himself Shen Changcheng, and followed him to sit in front of the carriage. Naturally, he wanted to drink at night, and Zhang Muliu told the old man that he and his senior sister were traveling down the mountain for the first time, and he planned to marry his senior sister after returning home. The old man was very happy when he heard this, and he poured a glass of wine for Liqiushui, but the woman just took a sip before Zhang Muliu took away the wine glass.

The leader of the guards was also called over by the old man to drink, and the old man patted the middle-aged leader on the shoulder, and said to Zhang Muliu with a smile: "This is the number one master in the rivers and lakes of our country, called Xue He, with one hand and a superb sword skill, and ordinary monks are helpless. ”

Xue He looked down on these two young people at first, walking the rivers and lakes with such a beautiful woman, can he still do a good job of chivalry? It's just that after fighting for a drink, Xue He was a little ashamed of himself, and this young man's alcohol consumption was really hard to fight. Shen Changcheng saw that the two of them were so happy to drink, so he took out a pair of jade gui and took out dozens of jars of good wine from it.

This hand can startle the young man a lot, Zhang Muliu shouted: "The old man turned out to be an immortal monk?"

The old man smiled and waved his hand, and said to Zhang Muliu: "I'm old like this, it's strange to be a monk." This is given by my eldest son, who said that it is easier to clean up when he is often out of the house. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Muliu lay motionless on the table, Xue He also leaned back against the carriage, and the snoring sound shook the sky.

The old man was helpless, so he could only talk to Li Qiushui: "Girl, don't blame my old man for being too talkative, the easiest thing in this world is who he likes, but the hardest thing is to grow old with him." I think this young man has a gentle temper, and when he gets married, I will treat him better. ”

Li Qiushui pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled and nodded to Shen Chang, saying that he would cherish him. In fact, he was helpless: "He can be regarded as good-tempered?"

But on second thought, it's true. How often did that drunken troublemaker fight on behalf of others? It seems that he has never taken the initiative to provoke anyone.

After a long time, the old man saw that Zhang Muliu was already asleep, so he stretched out his leg and kicked the middle-aged man who was leaning back against the carriage. Xue He got up in an instant, turned his head to the guards in the distance, and pulled out his long knife and cut down the fat-headed and big-eared guards at once.

Li Qiushui frowned, and Shen Changcheng's expression was solemn.

After a while, the old man stood up and said to Li Qiushui: "I know that you two little guys have sensed that something is wrong and want to protect my old man." But the person who wants to kill me is not an ordinary person, I have taken the old man, and this kid will wake up in a quarter of an hour, so you can take a detour and run for your life. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, and after walking out of the hundred zhang, the old man suddenly stopped, turned his back to the young couple and laughed: "I am very happy that there are young people like you in the rivers and lakes. ”

Xue He was holding a bloody human head in his hand, and he couldn't stop laughing when he looked at the drunk young man.

There are still such nosy people in the rivers and lakes, and I, Xue He, are also very happy. ”

Shen Changcheng stepped into the carriage again, and was tightly surrounded by a group of guards and walked forward, and when the group of people slowly disappeared into the night, the young man who was full of alcohol raised his head, smiled on his face, and said softly:

"There is such a Shen Changcheng in the world, and there is such a Xue River in the rivers and lakes. I'm glad too. ”

......

"Xiaohe, how did you see that those two little guys were intentionally following us, how did they see that someone wanted to harm us, and why did they want to help me, an irrelevant passer-by?" Shen Changcheng sat in the carriage and said softly.

Xue He was driving in front, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "The little couple has been following us for so long, and they will stop when they see us stop, and their chivalrous spirit can hardly be hidden." I put on a stinky face, and people are not angry, and based on this alone, I can conclude that they are not bad people. ”

After a pause, he continued: "But this kid can really drink! If it weren't for the drugging of the old man, it would not be certain who would have drunk whom." ”

The old man poked his head out and said with a smile: "Then do you want to know how they noticed that we were in trouble, and why they were willing to stop for me, an irrelevant person?"

Xue He shook his head, so the old man continued: "Actually, it's very simple, they first found the fat man who sneaked into the forest, and they were suspicious, so they planned to wait and see, and they didn't think of helping at first. Later, he asked me to sit down, and it was my butt sitting on the stone that made him want to help, but he didn't make up his mind. ”

Xue He scratched his head and said with a smile: "The boss should tell me directly, I won't be the material to use my brain." ”

Shen Changcheng retracted his body, closed his eyes and said softly: It was when I took out Yugui that he was really willing to help me. ”

Xue He didn't understand a little, so it can be seen that the old man stopped making a sound, so he didn't ask questions.

In fact, Shen Changcheng guessed very accurately, Zhang Muliu was indeed really willing to help after he took out Yugui.

If there is a son who can easily take out the storage magic weapon, why is the old man in danger? It is nothing more than to reassure the young man and tell him, "Old man, I have a way to get out of trouble." ”

But is there really a way? Presumably the blessed boy has woken up too, right?

Several black shadows blocked the way, and Xue He pulled Shen Changcheng out of the carriage, and the carriage was instantly divided into several pieces.

After the old man stood still, he bent one hand slightly, put it on his lower abdomen, and the other behind him, and sneered at the group of men in black in front of him:

"Good son, what are you doing with your face covered?"

One of the black-clothed people in front of him walked out slowly, pulled off his mask and said with a smile: "Although the old man's hands and feet are not good, his efforts have not diminished!"

Xue He's eyes were cold, and he held a knife on Shen Changcheng's side. A group of guards had already gathered around the old man.

"Boy, do you think I really didn't have any preparation for the old man?" Shen Changcheng looked like he was in his chest, but the next moment his face changed.

It turned out to be the man in black who dragged an old man with white beard and bloodstained blood from behind, his hands and feet were wrapped in iron chains, and he was dying.

Shen Changcheng raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at the man in black and said, "Wu Wu...... How dare you? He's a general!"

The man in black sneered: "I will kill the boss, let alone the general." When you were fishing and drinking with those two young people who didn't know whether to live or die, Qin Xiao had already been caught by me, but it is a pity that you two are old and immortal, and you still think that you are young. A three-inch inch-inch-tongue persuasion to retreat a 100,000-strong army? A tiger-headed silver spear broke into the enemy's ranks, and he went in and out countless times without being injured in his life?"

Xue He held the old man who almost fainted, the two young people were already more than lucky, but they didn't expect to hurt them.

Xue He held a knife and said coldly: "Why is this so? Even if you are outnumbered, I, Xue He, want to escape with the boss, which of you can stop you?"

Wu Wu, the man in black, raised his palm, and the surrounding forest was full of figures for a while, and there must be at least hundreds of people in the formation.

"Two old guys, one article and one military power. The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, how can I keep you?"

Shen Changcheng got up with a gloomy face, and his voice trembled a little: "What did you do to those two little guys?"

Wu Wu licked his lips and said with a smile: "Of course the man is killed! As for the woman, of course it is dedicated to the new emperor." ”

Xue He slashed away, and the man in black hurriedly retreated, and countless long arrows on both sides shot towards Xue He. I saw the man in the rain of arrows waving a long knife, and it looked like a silver barrier from a distance in the night, and a feathered arrow could not get close.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a python robe came quickly, and a single shadow knocked Xue He back several feet. The man in the python robe raised his hand and waved it casually, and dozens of guards fell to the ground.

"This palace has endured for more than 20 years, and today you can't die anymore. "The man in the python robe is the prince of the Xiguo Kingdom, Ye Yuming.

Shen Changcheng trembled all over, clenched his fists and stared at Ye Yuming. It's okay to die today, but it's just that my old friend and a bunch of children have harmed.

The head of the civil officials of the Xixi Kingdom took a strong breath, straightened his chest and laughed at himself: "I want my old man to do his best for the Xiguo country, but in the end he was harmed by your good sons. Do you think so? ”

Ye Yuming sneered, beckoned casually, and behind him, Wu Wu took a spear from the hands of the soldiers on the side, and stabbed Shen Changcheng in the chest without saying a word.

"The old man is right, what a good son!"

A black line shot out suddenly, piercing through Wu Wu's chest, and half of the blade of the sword was inserted into the dirt.

There was another sound of horses' hooves, and a red horse was very eye-catching in the night. On horseback was a man in a green shirt, holding a beautiful woman in red.

Zhang Muliu said to Shen Changcheng: "The old gentleman also looks down on us too much, right? Although it is the first time we have come down the mountain, it is still not a big problem to beat these crooked melons and cracked dates." ”

The old man's lips trembled, and he didn't say a word for a long time, but he trembled his arm and pointed to another old man who was dying in the distance.

The young man's legs suddenly exerted force, jumped up from the horse's back, jumped to the old general's side in one step, grabbed him and fell backwards, and pulled up the swim on the way back. Like a fish swimming in the water, it is very free and easy.

Throwing two pills to Xue He, the young man stepped forward with his sword again.

Zhang Muliu held a sword in one hand and the other behind him, and gestured to the woman who was still on horseback, which only Li Qiushui could understand. It means "endure it first, don't get excited", and then smiled at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him:

"Good son! ”

Xue He took the pill and didn't eat it himself, but crawled to Qin Xiao's side and stuffed the two pills into the mouth of the injured old man.

Li Qiushui had no choice but to dismount, walked over and gave Xue He another pill, and saw that this person was going to stuff it into the old general's mouth again, so he glared at him lightly. This understatement frightened Xue He, this look was exactly the same as the old lady!

Li Qiushui said angrily: "This old man just suffered some skin injuries, if you continue to feed him like this, you may make up for him to death." ”

Shen Changcheng walked a few steps, and made a deep gesture at the autumn water, and for a while he was a little unable to cry, and he slowed down for a long time before he said:

"Thank you, old man. ”

The young man who was fighting with Ye Yuming in the distance actually had time to pay attention to the conversation of a few people here, and said in a loud voice: "Boss, you don't have to thank her, I still want you to help write us an invitation template!"

The woman turned her head slightly, forced a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to the young man who was fighting with a sword with one arm:

"Fight your best!"

Zhang Muliu sighed, his momentum increased sharply, and he used the ability of Jianghu Ke to fight against the Zhuji monk.

Shen Changcheng and Xue He hugged the old general left and right, and the two looked at the young man with a sword in the distance, their faces full of worry.

Li Qiushui smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a little foundation building monk, the rivers and lakes of your Xiguo country are too shallow." ”

Xue He's face was embarrassed when he said this, and the man with the knife laughed at himself: "If I had far-sightedness and didn't have this small pond, maybe I wouldn't need the help of the two of you today." ”

A voice was like a gossamer, very weak. The old general slowly opened his eyes and said in a very low voice: "Where are so many maybe, you kid has been fooling the old man for so many years, why haven't you been fooled by him? ”

After finishing saying Xue He, he turned his head to look at Shen Changcheng, and turned his head to use the strength of the old general, he looked joking, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'll go! Are you crying this old fool? Hurry up, let me go and let me vomit for a while." ”

Shen Changcheng grabbed the hand of the old man in his arms, still trembling his lips, and said softly:

"Old rascal, you have to live! If Shen Changcheng doesn't have Qin Xiao in the court, then what's the point of living?"

Qin Xiao, the general of a country and the head of the military attaché, clenched Shen Changcheng's hand, and the two old men both turned their heads to look at a young man in the distance.

Ye Yuming is a foundation-building monk, and he is the number one master in this Xixi country. But it was inseparable from an ordinary swordsman in front of him, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little angry. He slammed to the ground, and a red glow began to slowly glow from him, something that could have been used as a light in the night.

His eyes turned red, and his blood condensed into a pair of armor draped over his body, squinting and sneering:

"Shoot them with arrows, I don't want to play!"

In the distance, two cold lights were slashed away, and after a loud bang, the trees on both sides fell to the ground in unison.

Zhang Muliu stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, he really didn't know what to say.

A woman in red held an ice crystal long sword, pursed her lips and said with some grievances:

"I don't want to play anymore. ”
