Xiao Fei squinted his eyes at Zhou Lingfeng, who also glared at his senior brother without showing weakness, waiting for his explanation. Leng Xuan was a figure that he respected by Zhou Lingfeng, and he would not let Xiao Fei slander him like this, even if he was a senior brother.

"Use your brain to think about it!" Xiao Fei angrily pointed his finger at Zhou Lingfeng's head, "Is this also filled with wine?!"

"Old Zhou is stupid, you have to explain this to me!" Zhou Lingfeng stretched out his hand and brushed away his senior brother's fingers and sat on the stool.

"Who is Leng Qiuhe? Is it the eighth generation descendant of my Tianhan Sect! Do you really think that he will swear allegiance to the Zhu family for the so-called four words of 'loyalty to the monarch and patriotism'? Do you think he will really die willingly for that stinky boy? Do you really think that he is an official fan, clinging to this nominal 'young master' and not letting go? Wrong! Ling Feng, he is repaying his kindness and repaying Leng Xuan's kindness for his nurturing and teaching. Akikawa had planned to do his best in this matter, and he would never put us in it by himself. However, Leng Xuan's words, once you say it to him, he will only think that Leng Xuan feels sorry for him and does not want him to waste his life for the old man's wishes, which will only inspire him to let go and die. ”

"What? It could be like this, why is the old man like this?" Zhou Lingfeng believed Xiao Fei's analysis, but was still taken aback.

"What do you think!never underestimate these old foxes!" Xiao Fei said angrily.

Zhou Lingfeng was speechless.

"Okay, you go back to Senior Situ first. Don't talk about it when you get there, although the second uncle is trustworthy, it is inevitable that others will have other thoughts. ”

Xiao Fei instructed, since Situ Chao already suspected that some of the people in the rivers and lakes around him had ill intentions, he naturally had to be very careful when he spoke.

"Don't worry, I'll take notice. Zhou Lingfeng got up and was about to leave through the window again.

"Wait, where is Leng Xuan living now? It seems that it is time to pay a visit to this Leng General, I want to see what he wants!"

Xiao Fei had lost his respect for Leng Xuan between his words, and Zhou Lingfeng was not surprised, after all, no matter how much he respected him, he was not as important as his brother.

"About seventy miles to the north and west of this place, there is a market town called Zhao Jiayu, and he has lived here all these years. ”

Xiao Fei nodded, and Zhou Lingfeng jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

The meeting with Leng Xuan came faster than Xiao Fei imagined, and it was very sudden.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Fei finally inquired about the location of Zhao Jiayu in a small town, which was more than ten miles ahead. He found a secluded place, took off the disguise on his body, and once again restored his image as a son of the turbid world, after all, Leng Xuan is an elder, and he can't wear a mask to visit him anyway, this face still has to be given to Leng Qiuhe.

After changing his clothes and face, Xiao Fei hadn't walked a few steps on the street when he was stopped by someone, and they were two big men dressed in coarse cloth, both of whom were around forty years old, and they seemed to have kung fu.

"This son, my master has been waiting for a long time, please take a step. ”

The big man on the left stopped Xiao Fei and bowed his hand.

"I don't know who your lord is, do you know you below?" Xiao Fei's mouth was a thick northern accent that was indistinguishable from this big man.

"The villain doesn't know if the master knows the son, as for the identity of the master of my family, the son will know when he arrives. The big man spoke respectfully and politely, "The villain leads the way for the son." ”

After speaking, the man stretched out his hand and made a leading motion, then straightened up and walked forward with his companion, ignoring whether Xiao Fei would follow.

Xiao Fei saw that the two of them were walking vigorously, and they had the momentum of a soldier in the army, and probably guessed the identity of the person who invited him to meet, so he didn't shirk and followed the two of them.

The meeting place is not very private, on the top floor of the best restaurant in town. The man who had spoken to Xiao Fei before reached out to push open the door of a room, and stretched out his hand again to signal Xiao Fei to enter.

Xiao Fei stepped into it and found that the furnishings in the room were already luxurious, after all, this was in the barren northland, two or three carbon stoves baked the room warm like spring, a jar of high-quality agarwood was lit, and the curling smoke filled the room with a quiet aroma, and also covered some of the fireworks produced by the stove. In the middle of the room, there was a table of banquets, and even a few soups were still steaming, and the time was very accurate, and it seemed that people knew their whereabouts well.

At the top of the seat sat an old man with a white beard, about seventy years old, with a yellow face and a thin body, looking at Xiao Fei with a smile.

The big man at the door closed the door immediately after Xiao Fei entered the door, and did not follow in, and now there are only Xiao Fei and the old man in the room.

Xiao Fei stood up straight, tidied up his clothes, took three steps forward, was still two miles away from the table, stretched out his hand, bowed deeply, and said: "The little nephew Hangzhou Xiao Rufei has seen the Leng family's uncle. ”

"Little nephew, take a seat. ”

The old man said with a smile, not surprised that Xiao Fei guessed his identity.

"Thank you. ”

Xiao Fei cautiously got up and saluted again, and slowly walked to the position diagonally opposite the old man and sat down, behind him was the window of the room, and outside the window was the street.

"As Xiao'er Qiuhe said, Rufeixian's nephew is really cautious. Hehehe, it's all the blame on the old man, it is normal for you to have doubts in your heart when you invite your nephew over so abruptly. ”

This old man is Leng Qiuhe's adoptive father, Leng Xuan, the general of the current dynasty who was disarmed and returned to the field. At this moment, he does not have the momentum of an aggressive superior, and he smiles as if he is talking to his own nephew, but Xiao Fei still doesn't dare to take it lightly, he has long decided that this is an old fox!

Xiao Fei owed a debt and replied respectfully, "I learned that the little nephew has been weak since he was a child, afraid of heat and cold, and can't stand the heat of the stove, so he is closer to the window to cool down." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, Qiuhe mentioned this, this is the old man who didn't think it through, don't mind the virtuous nephew. ”

"Shi Bo is serious, and today he is warmly invited by Shi Bo, and the little nephew feels very honored. Recently, the little nephew heard that Shi Bo lived in seclusion here, and he was overjoyed to inquire in many ways, and walked all the way here, wanting to come to the house to pay a visit, who would want to be invited by Shi Bo to be invited first," Xiao Fei smiled bitterly, "If this matter is known by the elders in the family, I will have to reprimand the little nephew for losing courtesy." ”

"Hahaha, it's not that the virtuous nephew doesn't understand etiquette, it's that the old man is anxious to see the virtuous nephew," Leng Xuan laughed, "Come, virtuous nephew, let's drink it first, you taste this northern spirit, it's not at all like the dull taste of your Jiangnan side." ”

"Xie Shibo!" Xiao Fei hurriedly lifted the porcelain wine pot on the table, filled the wine cup in front of Leng Xuan and himself, put down the wine pot and picked up the wine cup, "Shibo, please!"

The two gestured to each other and drank together. As soon as the wine entered his throat, Xiao Fei felt that a line of fire spread rapidly from his throat to his chest and abdomen, and then the entire chest was boiling like a fire, and he spit out a mouthful of wine, "What a strong wine!"

Leng Xuan laughed when he saw this, "What's the matter, virtuous nephew?"

"This wine is wonderful, the little nephew thanks the uncle for the wine!" As he spoke, Xiao Fei got up again and filled the wine cups of the two.

"Rufeixian's nephew's temperament is very good for the old man's appetite," Leng Xuan stroked his beard and smiled, "My son Qiuhe is right, his senior brother Rufei is really a dragon and phoenix among people!"

"The little nephew is ashamed, and he deserves to be praised by Shibo. Xiao Fei got up and said.

"You, Rufei Xian's nephew, are really a little fox! do you really think that the old man doesn't know the purpose of your coming to me?" Leng Xuan looked at Xiao Fei who stood up with a smile.

Xiao Fei was in a cold sweat for a while, he was too familiar with this expression. With this kind of expression on other people's faces, Xiao Fei must have no scruples, what he should do or how he will do it. But with this expression on the old fox's face, he should be cautious, and if he is not careful, he will be unlucky. The last old fox who showed such an expression to himself was Hangzhou Xiao Wanlin. And the one in front of him, in terms of ruthlessness and insidious cunning, is definitely stronger than Xiao Wanlin, he is the only undefeated general in the Ming Dynasty in the past forty years!

"Well, Shibo laughed. Xiao Fei cautiously accompanied the smiling face.

"Hehe, you kid. Leng Xuan picked up the wine cup again and drank it, pinched the wine cup and said, "Have you seen that kid from Zhou Lingfeng?"

Xiao Fei "sighed" in his heart, this old fox was too fine, much spicier than Xiao Wanlin, he hurriedly picked up the wine jug again and poured wine for Leng Xuan, "If you go back to Shibo, my little nephew saw Senior Brother Zhou the night before yesterday." ”

Leng Xuan still held the wine cup in his left hand, and he didn't drink it, but just looked at Xiao Fei playfully, "What the old man told him a few days ago, Zhou Lingfeng, this bastard boy, should have told you exactly as it was, right?"

"Yes. Xiao Fei replied simply, feeling a little bitter in his heart, this old guy is really the biggest snake in the North, with Zhou Lingfeng's light skills, he still can't get rid of his eyeliner.

"The virtuous nephew must have thought that the old man said those words to force Qiu He to ensure the safety of the prince with his life. Isn't that why I want to go to the old man first to find out the truth of my bad old man. ”

Xiao Fei was speechless, what did this old fox mean.

"Actually, the old man has taught Qiuhe martial arts in recent years, taught the art of war, and talked about the experience of officialdom...... Only the same, the old man has never said a word, the virtuous nephew might as well guess, which hand did the old man keep?"

Leng Xuan said in a low and slow voice, as if he was a little emotional.

"The little nephew can't guess it, please make it clear. ”

I really can't guess the old fox's thoughts, and Xiao Fei is also very single.

"Loyal and patriotic. ”

Leng Xuan drank the wine and slowly spit out four words.

"Huh?"

Xiao Fei was taken aback, he didn't expect the answer to be like this.

"In this life, the old man, because of the emperor's kindness when he was hiding in the dragon, he was driven by the court all his life and never complained. Today, most of the loess is buried, and I am tired of seeing through some things...... I don't want Qiuhe to repeat my mistakes. Although Qiuhe's surname is Leng, it is not my blood after all, and there is no need to put his life on the line for my old man's thoughts. If this kid is obsessed with officialdom, the old man will do his best to let him get his wish. It's just that this kid is uninhibited and doesn't want to be a caged bird, even if it's a cage with the court as the bone and the Ming Dynasty as the side. Don't worry, even if Ling Fengxian's nephew tells him those words, it doesn't matter, Qiu He understands my mind, and he knows what he should do. In fact, whether the old man said these words or not, for Qiuhe, there was no difference. ”

"Why did Shibo ......" Xiao Fei was puzzled.

"For you!" The old man told Zhou Lingfeng this, just to see you Xiao Fei!" Leng Xuan's eyes lit up and looked directly at Xiao Fei.

See me? Xiao Fei understood all the links at once. Leng Xuan knew that he was about to arrive in the Northland, so he said those inexplicable words to Zhou Lingfeng. After hearing about it from Zhou Lingfeng's mouth, he was naturally worried that Leng Xuan would be unfavorable to Leng Qiuhe, and he would definitely come to inquire about Leng Xuan's attitude. That's why he was caught right here, what an old fox!

"I don't know why Shibo took a lot of trouble to let his little nephew come here?"

Xiao Fei bowed down to ask for advice, and at this time he was basically sure that this old man had no ill will towards Leng Qiuhe, himself and others.

"The old man has something to entrust to his virtuous nephew, this is the last wish of this bad old man. Leng Xuan said.
