The Li family tavern was about to close, and the guests left one after another to their heart's content, Xiao Er wiped the tables and chairs diligently, and the shopkeeper stood on the counter to settle the accounts, counting how much was left of the marinated peanuts, edamame, and various side dishes on the table.

An old man walked in leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Er was about to beckon the old man to close, but was pulled by the shopkeeper to the side, "Uncle, do you want to drink?"

The old man turned his head and looked at the price list on the counter, "Come to two or two swords to burn the spring." ”

The shopkeeper stood still and said with a smile: "Uncle, the various wine and side dishes in our store are famous far and wide, how many can you choose to taste?"

The old man glanced at the plates on the counter and sniffled, "Really?"

"It's true, why don't I help you pick out a few good plates?" the shopkeeper bent lower.

"Okay, then you can pick three or four plates. I'm a very good mouthful, don't make something unseemly to fool me. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed, "You can rest assured, you are satisfied." ”

hurriedly went over to prepare, divided a few plates of side dishes and a pot of the best Jiannan Roasted Spring in the store on the table, and then set up chopsticks and wine glasses.

Retreating to the counter, he pulled Xiao Er over, pulled his ear and said: "Let you look at people, this old man is dressed decently, and at first glance he is the master who can afford it! When the business comes, you still rush out, do you want to be angry with Lao Tzu?"

Xiao Erlian said that he was wrong and wrong, next time he paid attention, the shopkeeper let him go angrily, and the old man turned his head to see that the shopkeeper was already smiling.

What strange people in the market, Xun Yuzi, who was dressed as an ordinary old man, slipped a small glass of wine into his mouth, closed his eyes and savored it.

In the hut, the sloppy man was like a great enemy, protecting Fu Tianqi behind him, his fingers in his sleeves slightly bent, staring at the door.

There was a gentle knock on the door, knocking on the man's heart.

After listening to it for a long time, the knock on the door was still the same, not in a hurry or impatient.

The sloppy man gritted his teeth and stepped forward to open the door, and Cao Yelai, who was wearing a black cloak, stood at the door, crying and smiling, "Senior brother, long time no see." ”

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

Xiling Sword Sect, the first thing Chen Qingfeng did after returning to the mountain was to go to the Sword Pavilion to report to Old Man Jiang.

Walking to the hut behind the Sword Pavilion, he heard Pei Zhen's unbridled shouting in the hut, frowned slightly, and walked quickly, Old Man Jiang stepped out, stood in front of him, and said coldly: "Say!"

Chen Qingfeng said: "It has been handed over to Jiang Yan to the Minister of State, and there will be news tomorrow." ”

Old man Jiang held his right hand with his left hand, "If it weren't for the fact that you were already the sect master, I wanted to save you some face, I really wanted to slap you, you said you, such a small trial has such a big thing, and after half a month, you still want to engage in the sword crown competition, then you can't die a bunch of people, does the Sword Sect have so many mountains to bury?!"

Chen Qingfeng accused again and again, "I'll arrange an investigation, and the sword crown must be properly arranged!"

Old man Jiang said angrily: "Get out, go and wipe the shit off those butts!"

Chen Qingfeng hurriedly retreated, and when he walked out of the Sword Pavilion, he actually had a feeling of the rest of his life.

After thinking about the scolding of Pei Zhen that he had just heard, he sincerely sighed that people are more popular than people, even if he is the sect master.

In the hut, Pei Zhen soaked in the bathtub, after two hours of coma, and half an hour of recovery, at this moment he was alive again, shouting in his mouth, "Old man Jiang, stinky and shameless, bully the small with the big, your uncle, when the little master is complete, he will definitely hang you up and beat you, hit sandbags, beat wooden stakes, I'm happy, you're finished!"

Old man Jiang appeared behind Pei Zhen silently, and with no luck, he used the strength of ordinary people to slap Pei Zhen on the back of his head, and smashed Pei Zhen's whole person into the bucket.

Old man Jiang's eyes narrowed, and he tasted, hey, comfortable!

Pei Zhen came out of the water blankly holding the back of his head, and looked behind him, where the old man Jiang with an obscene face was closing his eyes and enjoying it.

Pei Zhen jumped up from the water, drove a splash, and pounced on Old Man Jiang, "You slut, I'm not done with you, master!"

Then he was smashed back into the bucket by Old Man Jiang's punch, and even the splash was brought back without wasting a drop.

Old man Jiang turned around and walked out, and said as he walked: "Yunluo has been handed over to his master, life and death are unknown, if you are a master with a handle, study hard, learn well, and use the sword in your hand to reason with your brother who is not as good as the beasts." ”

Bae Jin lay in the bucket and slowly slipped into the water so that no one could see his tears.

An hour later, the effect of the barrel was exhausted, and Pei Zhen, who had changed into a new suit, kicked open the door of the old man Jiang's room, "Old Jiang, get out of here and be beaten!

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

Beiyuan, a military tent in a certain place, in the big tent of the Chinese army, a young man with a somewhat similar face to Pei Zhen sat in the tent, and a down-and-out scribe sat opposite, and there was a chessboard between the two, with nineteen vertical and horizontal roads on the board, and black and white were fighting fiercely.

The young man sighed: "I really didn't expect this to go so smoothly. ”

The scribe twisted a crystal clear white piece with two fingers and gently rested it on the chessboard, "What do you think is the biggest political bargaining chip if you want to be a prince?"

The young man did not hesitate, "Uncle, General Xue." ”

The scribe stroked his beard and stared at the chessboard, "Yes, Xue Junshen was bent on rectifying the military strength of Beiyuan back then, and asked himself to abolish the prince, he was invincible, and his prestige in Beiyuan was so high that he didn't know where to go, if he could help, the position of the crown prince of Beiyuan could be said to be within reach." ”

The young man sighed and put a sunspot on the chessboard, "It's a pity that he doesn't support the three of us, he only likes small towns." ”

The scribe picked up a chess piece again, held it up in front of his eyes, and watched it repeatedly, "That's why this plan went so smoothly." ”

The young man was a little puzzled, he was sending someone to contact him, but he was worried that someone would take the opportunity to plan a report, and the three brothers who were in a situation were very concerned about this matter.

"The four princes don't fight, so you think he's safe, but if he wants to fight one day, can you still fight?" the scribe put the chess piece in one place, "It's the three of you who want him to die!"

The young man was shocked, and looked down to see that the great dragon had been slaughtered.

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

In Tianjing City, Xun Qingge, the queen of the Daduan Dynasty, sat on the high platform in the center, looked at Chai Yupu, the head of Qingxi Sword Pond, who was prostrate on the ground below, and said lightly: "Get up." ”

Chai Yupu shouted Xie Niangniang's grace, slowly got up, straightened his clothes, and didn't dare to look up to take a look at the beautiful face that was once the best in the world.

Even if Xun Qingge's voice was indifferent, it still sounded elegant and pleasant, "Next month, the sword crown of the Xiling Sword Sect will be compared, Your Majesty will authorize the Tianxia Sect to go to watch the ceremony, seize the opportunity yourself, what I want, you must do it!"

Chai Yupu knelt on the ground again, "I will definitely live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and Niangniang!"

Xun Qingge said flatly: "I will let Qingyin Pavilion fully support you." ”

Chai Yupu was overjoyed, "Xie Niangniang!"

After some advice, Chai Yupu walked out of the palace gate in a cold sweat, His Majesty Yongding would not see him, and the queen was responsible for the cultivation of the rivers and lakes.

This time he was suddenly edicted to Tianjing City, which made him panic in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on.

I wanted to find an acquaintance to ask about the situation, but who knew that he was directly edicted into the palace, and the personal maid of the queen's mother explained the task to him, and he was determined, and he never thought that he would be personally received by the queen, Chai Yupu was really surprised, and followed a small yellow door along the palace road, looking back at the tall and solemn palace wall, Chai Yupu muttered: "Wealth and danger are begging." ”

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

Among the five huts of the little spirit vein, there was no one at the moment.

Lu Qi and Cui Pheasant sat on the roof, looking at the moon in a daze.

There is a valley of green grass and flowers, a fairyland of clear streams and flowing water, and there is a toad palace cinnamon, a jade rabbit pounding medicine in the cold secret realm, at a glance, the two daughters are the third kind of stunning color between heaven and earth.

It's just that the shouting and hustle and bustle coming from the mountains of the Sword Sect slightly spoils the artistic conception of this night.

Lu Qi supported his chin with both hands, stared blankly into the distance, and after a while, he sighed with emotion: "This roof is really suitable for being in a daze at night." ”

Cui Pheasant clasped his legs with his hands and rested his chin on his knees, "Sect Master Chen has begun to settle accounts after the autumn. ”

Lu Qi pursed his mouth, "Things have already happened, what's the use of settling accounts." ”

Remembering something again, he asked, "What are you going to do with that side relative?"

She didn't even want to mention Cui Gu's name.

Cui Pheasant sneered, "I came out safely, and if I took the first place, someone will naturally clean him up." ”

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, and was surprised, "It turns out that your ancestors know." ”

Cui Pheasant sighed, "It's true to be pampered, but if it's not worth supporting, then naturally you have to change your way." ”

Silent, the two secretly competed with each other from the beginning, and now after meeting and getting along, they actually have some empathy and sympathy.

"Actually, thanks to them. Lu Qi's words pulled their thoughts back to reality, and pulled back to what they deliberately didn't want to think about tonight.

Cui Pheasant nodded silently.

"Don't blame the apocalypse. Lu Qi was talking to himself.

Cui Pheasant turned his head to look at her and laughed, "Don't worry about that silly boy who likes you?"

Lu Qi's cheeks flushed, his mouth puffed up, and then he squeezed his hands, revealing a hint of the naivety of a little daughter, and said softly: "It's not true, everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention that we look so beautiful, Sister Cui!" said that he finally returned to being naughty and cute.

A smile also appeared on Cui Pheasant's face, and Lu Qi sighed with emotion: "Sister Cui, you look so good when you smile." ”

Cui Pheasant was about to praise her a few words, but heard Lu Qi's next words, "No wonder that Pei Zhen likes you so much." ”

Her face turned cold, and she said calmly: "The so-called love at first sight is just a matter of seeing color. ”

Lu Qi grinned and gave her a thumbs up, "That's a good point, so I decided that my husband will have to investigate it in the future." ”

Cui Pheasant glanced at her, "The so-called long-term love is just a trade-off of pros and cons. ”

Lu Qi's smile and thumb froze in place, Sister Cui, where did you hear these nonsense words.

The two girls just said a word to me, and chatted without a word, after all, the world is not closed.

The power-leaning minister of Shu is not so lucky, and the shopkeeper of the Li family tavern wants to make money, but he will have to close after all.

The old man had already ignored the shopkeeper's eyes that wanted to speak twice, and he got up and paid the money obediently.

The shopkeeper sent the old man out of the door with a smile, pondering that although he had stayed up for more than half an hour tonight than usual, he had earned a lot of silver, and he was still in a good mood.

The old man walked slowly around the perimeter of the alley with his hands behind his back and a smile, and at some point he happened to stand at the mouth of the alley.

The sloppy man named Fu Lin walked out side by side with Cao Yelai, and Fu Tianqi, who had fallen asleep, lay on Cao Yelai's back.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Fu Lin's tears tonight seemed to be endless, he knelt on one knee and choked up: "Ling Shuai's tent leader Fu Lin, meet Uncle Xun!"

The nondescript title, but Xun Yu's eyes were also slightly red, he lifted his hands up, felt the coarse linen clothes of his tentacles, looked at the sloppy and sloppy man in front of him, and his voice trembled slightly, "Good boy, you have suffered all these years!"
