Broken Bamboo Chapter 4 To be the dragon that crosses the river

Zhao Changsheng turned around and gave Qing Ye a grateful look, and the green donkey retracted his front hooves and looked at Zhao Changsheng, as if to say that he was really a reckless person. No matter how stupid he is, he can see that Second Brother Qiao is a real second brother, and Brother Lei is a real big brother.

Zhang Muliu poured a large jar of wine straight down, and Qiao Lei and Qiao Yushan also raised their respective wines. The drinks were somewhat different, but the three of them drank them all at the same time, and they fell into their glasses at the same time. The three of them sat silently. Zhao Changsheng also understood the looks, got up and strode into the inn, and when he came out, seven or eight young men were holding a large jar of wine.

Zhang Muliu opened two jars of wine and handed them to the two of them, and opened another jar just turned his face to look at Zhao Changsheng, Zhao Changsheng had an expression of begging for mercy, Zhang Muliu had to put it in front of him, and then said:

"I actually guessed that you would come, but I didn't expect you to come. Since you really came, you will finish the jar that sent me first. ”

Qiao Lei and Qiao Yushan both rolled their eyes, and then raised the wine jar as if Zhang Muliu had poured it before, which was really sprinkled. After drinking a jar before putting it down, Zhang Muliu had already opened two jars of wine and handed them out, the two had to continue, just hold it firmly, Zhang Muliu had already raised his own, raised his chin to Qiao Lei and Qiao Yushan, and the two had to raise the jar and touch Zhang Muliu, and then saw the three young men each raise the wine in their hands and drink in a big gulp, but they no longer sprinkled it, but did not leak a drop.

The front hooves of the green donkey rubbed against Zhao Changsheng, and the little brother immediately understood, dropped the money bag and went to the party. The remaining three people were no longer drinking, one carrying a wine jar, and did not speak, but touched it after a while, and drank silently.

Qiao Yushan looked at this young man who was the youngest next year, but had the longest beard, and didn't say anything for a long time, but he just took a sip of wine and didn't touch the other two, and then looked straight at Zhang Muliu.

"We don't know much about what happened back then. Although I have experienced it myself, I am just as confused. My grandfather protected my eldest brother's father and mother and died directly, but he still seriously injured my eldest brother's father and mother. Your grandfather and a group of people in purple clothes have changed their lives, not only your old lady, but also the old man of the Changchang family. We didn't know it anymore, and we were all thrown far away, and it was already three days before we ran back. Everyone just did the funeral, and they didn't want to ask. The eldest generation is dead, your parents are seriously injured, your father is missing, Aunt Yan took Han'er back to her parents' house, and you will know later. ”

Zhang Muliu's face did not change, but one hand was clutching the wine jar.

"Then I said that my father colluded with foreign races, and all countries were arrested?"

Qiao Lei put the wine on the ground and said to Zhang Muliu:

"Uncle Shuying is the old man who is responsible for Chen Shucheng. That old man caught up with Zhao and recognized an old witch who was two years older than him as his godmother, and we were no longer seen after we went back. This is what we found out when we were separated. You are the first one to leave home, and then it was me, Changchang and Zhuo Kang were the third to go, one went to Beihai, and the other went to Donghai. Yushan was recommended by the old master to go to the academy and study in Jinling. Many people of the same age left one after another, all of them were looking for news of that incident in all directions. Everyone also started to practice, and when they left home, they all took their family heirlooms with them. Over the years, I haven't heard of anyone who has had an accident or a chance. ”

Zhang Muliu nodded and took another sip of wine.

"The purple clothes you are talking about should be the Danzhou criminal family, who has dealt with them a few years ago and suffered a lot of losses. This clan also has a long history, and the first ancestor is a big man who you and I understand. It's just that their vein is just a side of the thin bloodline, and Danzhou, which they arrived in about 600 years ago, is now a big gateway. ”

Qiao Yushan and Qiao Lei looked at each other and smiled, the three of them touched again, Qiao Lei loosened his belt and continued:

"This Xing clan is also quite famous, and he is famous in the nest. Danzhou is isolated on the sea, and most of the cultivators on the island are forced to be angry and dare not speak, but they are obedient like grandsons when they touch the land. I heard that it was killed by a woman with a sword sixty years ago, and the woman also said that if she saw them scattering wild again, she would stay at the Leizhou ferry for a hundred years, and see that the Xing clan would kill one person. ”

Zhang Muliu also smiled, Qiao Yushan took a sip of wine, and continued:

"But about a Jiazi didn't hear the news of the female sword fairy again, and the family finally couldn't stand it anymore, and gradually did some disgusting things, that is, idle boredom. About three years ago, I heard that there was a white scary boy who picked a group of children under the age of 30 at sea with a jet-black spear, and he also said that he would see a Danzhou criminal clan beat one in the future. ”

As soon as the words were finished, both of them looked at Zhang Muliu with a smile, and Zhang Muliu shivered, which was strange and scary.

"Can you guess it's me?"

Qiao Yushan and Qiao Lei both rolled their eyes.

"Although I don't know when you got a black gun, but as soon as you say it's scary, I immediately think of you, how did you look like a little white face a few years ago? Not to mention that the young man is said to be beating people while scolding what your grandfather's flesh and your grandmother's legs, this is your boy's original work!"

Zhang Muliu hurriedly took another sip of wine, the past is unbearable!

"Okay! We can't stay longer, Yushan is stalking with a master from Jinling Academy to study, and he is already going to Shu, and I have to go north to Zhongshan. You go to Luoyang and Zhulu on the way, Xiao Yu and Tengshuang are in Luoyang, and Xin Zuo is in Zhuolu. ”

It was already dark, but there was a slight light in the place where the three of them were, and the fires everywhere were blazing into the sky, and the three of them were close to the inn, and the flames were swaying not far away from the wind, and the shadows of the three of them were shaking. Qiao Yushan took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Muliu, and asked him to bring it to Kunshan to give an old way, Qiao Lei patted Zhang Muliu to the shoulder heavily, and strode away with a drunken body.

Jorey walked a few feet away, and suddenly paused and shouted:

"Don't forget the two sworn brothers, and don't forget the dog days when we grew up together. No one knows if we can make a big difference from Xiaozhushan, but no one knows where we are from!

The corners of the sturdy young man's mouth, who was getting farther and farther away from Chang'an City, grinned slightly, and said in his heart that he was indeed the most accustomed to this title.

The young scholar on the horse came to Zhang Muliu and said with a smile:

"I have been taught by you how to drink and open up meat, and you have saved up from childhood to adulthood, and when you went home that year, I actually knew that you should have something to hide from us, and the boss should have guessed it. But since you didn't say we wouldn't ask, we just felt like you were tired, so I poured you a lot of wine that night. Look at you now, you have a scruffy beard as if you have experienced such a tragic thing, for fear that others will not know that you are a person with a story after seeing you. Don't you like to say when you're a kid -- you don't know if you can do it? Now that you have the ability, you're cowardly? After practicing the sword with Mr. Ma for so many years, in the end you actually took a gun to fight against people! Zhang Muliu, who went to the cemetery every night to practice his courage because he was afraid of ghosts, when he didn't have any ability, Zhang Muliu, who walked thousands of miles alone in order to meet the girl he liked, where did he go?"

In the end, the voice became louder, as if he hated it, and he seemed to hate himself. After saying these words that sounded ordinary but were actually very heavy, Qiao Yushan whipped and left.

Yes, I learned the sword, but I used a gun.

......

Zhang Muliu waved his hand, and some of the brilliance around him was shattered, and a girl in a pink skirt not far away was in a hurry, as if she was looking for something. The girl looked back and saw the young man who was full of alcohol, and hurried over. Zhang Muliu smiled at Hu Sa, drank the rest of the wine, stood up and dispersed the wine on his body and returned with Hu Sasa.

Hu Sasa felt that Brother Muliu was very sad, and he was also sad. As he walked, he shook off Zhang Muliu's hand and squatted on the ground rubbing his eyes. Zhang Mu Liuxin said what's the matter?

"Why are you crying? Do you think you misunderstood your sister?"

Hu Sasa shook his head, raised his head and pouted at Zhang Muliu and said:

"Don't be unhappy, or I'll call you brother-in-law in the future, right?"

The young man was angry all of a sudden, his index finger and middle finger staggered back and forth and flicked the little girl's head, seeing that the tears were about to overflow, Zhang Muliu hurriedly squatted down.

"Come, I'll carry you on my back. ”

Hu Sa snorted, touching his head while going behind Zhang Muliu. Zhang Muliu tightened the little girl's trouser legs, suddenly got up and ran forward, and said in his mouth:

"Let's go!"

......

In the night, several men leaned on the side of the carriage as if asleep, and thousands of people sprinkled nature on the carriage not far away. Zhang Muliu sat alone on the edge of a carriage, looking at the sparse stars in the sky.

Zhao Changsheng, who was lying under a tree, suddenly opened his eyes and clenched his broadsword, and when he was about to get up after listening to the movement not far away, Zhang Muliu's voice came from his ears:

"Why don't you have a long memory, watch first!"

Zhao Changsheng instantly sat next to Zhang Muliu with a puzzled look. Zhang Muliu had no choice but to explain:

"Look at it first, the female ghost has been here at night, and it hasn't hurt anyone so far, but she has just entered the heart lake of the rich merchant. I don't know what cause and effect there is, so I want to intervene rashly?"

Zhao Changsheng wanted to say that it would be too late to hurt people! But before the words came out, there was no longer a figure of the predecessor around him, and the green donkey appeared not far away at some point, looking like a fool, Zhao Changsheng hurriedly went to the rich merchant.

The rich merchant's bodyguard and entourage were all sleeping soundly, which showed that this female ghost in red was also not bad.

Most of the ghosts in the world have no ability to hurt people, and can only use resentment to control the living to hurt themselves. Of course, there are exceptions, and if the resentment reaches a certain point and becomes solid and the person is still able to control his mind, then there is another path of cultivation, but there are many obstacles to this path. Obviously, the female ghost in red is just an ordinary ghost.

Zhao Changsheng went to Zhang Muliu's side and looked at the sweaty rich businessman together.

Zhang Muliu suddenly grabbed the rich businessman's forehead, and when he withdrew his hand, he grabbed the female ghost in red who had no physical body. The female ghost probably thought that Zhang Muliu was going to spoil her good deeds, so she opened her mouth and spit out a beam of white mist into Zhang Muliu's mouth. Zhang Muliu raised his other hand to dissipate the white mist, and his backhand was a slap, and the female ghost in red, who was already lying on the ground, looked incredulous, and said in a trembling voice:

"How could you hit me? How could it hurt me?"

Zhang Muliu rolled up his sleeves.

"I'm still beating you alive!"

Zhao Changsheng next to him stretched out his hand to cover his face and said, "Seniors, female ghosts are also women!"

Zhang Muliu sat next to the fire, glanced at the female ghost in red, and then looked at the middle-aged wealthy businessman who was still asleep, and then said to the female ghost:

"Tell me?"

......

Since more than 100 years ago, monks have entered the world in a big way to go to large and small courts, and there is only one sentence to the monarchs of large and small countries: "You can help a country live in peace, and you can't raise troops after that." The big powers are aware of the stakes and are quick to make peace with their neighbors. There are also small countries that see that their territory will be doubled soon, and suddenly someone says that they will stop fighting and withdraw their troops, but of course they will not agree!

It took only three years to integrate the world, and to the relief of the monarchs of all countries, after the monks entered the WTO to integrate the world, they did not ask about the world, and what happened in the past and what happened in the future, the only taboo that could not be touched was not to cause military disasters. Since then, there has not been much communication between countries, and there are many people who have set up border armies to compete with each other on the other side of the strait. After about 20 years of fighting, there were gradually caravans of merchants from all over the world, and the production of each country was different, and the farther they ran, the more they earned, and the more such merchants became in the future.

About Jiazi ago, the Liang State and the Song State, which had been hostile for more than a hundred years, took the lead in setting up a yamen to sort out the commercial and trade exchanges between the two countries, and then all countries followed suit, and slowly evolved into a government office that was separated from the state in which all countries on this land participated, and named Xiaoqiu Mansion.

Xiao revenge is as its name suggests, just eliminate revenge!

After decades of operation, Xiao Qiu Mansion suddenly became an existence that was separate from the state. The value of each country's currency was measured by gold, and the standard money was improved after obtaining the consent of most monarchs. Xiao Qiu Mansion never interferes in the political affairs of other countries, and after the standard money is formulated, it is only handed over to various countries to mint, and it does not interfere.

......

In this peaceful and prosperous world, it is absolutely impossible to recruit domestic servants and nurses at will. No matter how rich you are, people who have no merit in their families are not allowed to have families, so they can only retreat to recruit long-term workers. Judging from the entourage of this rich merchant, there is at least one Xiucai in the family.

The female ghost in red floated slightly on the ground, but she didn't dare to be too high, Zhang Muliu and Zhao Changsheng sat by the fire and ignored her.

The two of them were silent, the female ghost looked at the middle-aged rich man, her already illusory face was even more hideous, I don't know where it came from, and she turned her head to look at the two of them word by word:

"He killed me, I killed him, it's just right, even this has to be taken care of?"

Zhang Muliu didn't raise his head and said, "So let you talk about it." ”

"A person like you must have been a fool when he was alive, committing murder outside the capital of a country?

The female ghost in red suddenly became angry, roared and rushed towards Zhao Changsheng, and was grabbed by Zhang Muliu in the air and grabbed her neck, as if she was about to tear Zhao Changsheng apart. The latter's face suddenly sank, and he suppressed the urge to slap her a few times and watched her die in front of him.

Zhang Muliu threw the female ghost aside, squinted at Zhao Changsheng, and Zhao Changsheng immediately felt a chill down his spine.

"Get up when you've slept enough, don't pretend to be. ”

Zhang Muliu suddenly lost his patience and spoke to himself. The rich merchant who was lying down suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile:

"Can you find this?"

Zhang Muliu didn't look up, just grinned and said:

"I've let a stupid boy follow me for so long, and suddenly come to such a hand, do you really think Zhang is a bully?"

The middle-aged wealthy businessman stood up with a smile, looked at Zhao Changsheng and shook his head, reached out and tore off a layer of skin on his face, and then his body shrank slightly and turned into a beautiful girl. Zhao Changsheng changed from being unknown to being stunned, and Mu Na called out the word "sister".

The woman waved her hand at the red-clothed female ghost to signal her to retreat, and after saluting Zhang Muliu and Zhao Changsheng respectively, her figure slowly dissipated.

Sisi has seen Zhang Gongzi, Changsheng following Gongzi is not the little girl's intentional arrangement, and he doesn't know it. Later, I heard some of the wind and grass in Jiuzhang Mountain, I wanted to hold grace, but I didn't expect the son to cultivate to the sky, and today outside Chang'an City, I wanted to show up to thank you, but I saw the two young sons who were favored by the avenue, so I started to play with Zhang Gongzi, and I hope that the son will not be surprised. ”

Zhao Sisi has changed into a green dress at the moment, with a slender body, there are many places that should be more, and there are not many places that should be less, which is not only a long skirt for people, but also a long skirt for people!

Zhang Muliu finally raised his head and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.

"A little prince has followed me for so many days, and now I want more than one county lord? It seems that I have to go to Prince Xuan's mansion to be a guest. ”

"Thank you Gongzi for admiring his face, and my father also has something to talk to Gongzi. Zhao Sisi took the stubble without hesitation, and did not give Zhang Muliu a chance to repent.

Zhao Changsheng was still a little confused, why did the old lady suddenly appear and become a female ghost. Could it be that I am using me to follow my seniors? How can I do it? We don't get along for long, but my seniors are all frank and unscrupulous in their personnel affairs, but they have become a deed of wedging around others in their families?

Zhao Changsheng looked at Zhao Sisi with a dark face: "Sister, what do you mean? Yes, it must be what my father meant! The predecessor is a person I respect, if you are not good with the senior, my little prince will not be right, you go back and tell him and the old lady to hurry up and have another one, so as not to have no successor in the palace!"

In front of the naughty younger brother, Zhao Sisi no longer had the appearance of everyone's ladies before, and in the past, Zhao Changsheng kicked him, twisted his brows and said angrily:

"It's really worthy of being called a reckless person by Zhang Gongzi, are you a child who fell into the water and the mud and sand in your head haven't been pulled out?

Zhao Changsheng was pulled by the ear, his right leg was covered with two hands, and he jumped on the ground on one leg, saying that he was wrong and wrong. It wasn't until Zhang Muliu coughed that Zhao Sisi stopped, and when he stopped, he instantly became the best girl before, Zhang Muliu felt a little cold sweat, and looked at Zhao Changsheng and said that it is not easy for the kid to grow so big!

Zhao Changsheng stood behind Zhang Muliu with a frown, thinking about it. The monks above the Yuan Infant in the world don't know where they went, and now the Yuan Infant is the peak of the monks, and the predecessors beat a Tubao Daoist at the peak of Jindan like beating a son, and followed by a green donkey...... Even if you really have a heart, it's in vain.

"Okay, knowing that you have no malicious intentions, you don't have to pretend to be pitiful in front of me, and it won't make me angry if you test me, it's just human nature! It's just that King Xuan took such pains to arrange this 'chance encounter', I'm afraid it will not only test Zhang's temperament, right?" Zhang Muliu stood up, dusted off the ashes that fell on his body, and asked Zhao Sisi.

Zhao Sisi smiled suddenly, stretched out his hand, and an extra wooden sword appeared out of thin air in his hand. When Zhang Muliu saw the wooden sword, a circle of ripples appeared from the soles of his feet almost at the same time, turning into a colorless shroud enveloping the three of them, and then he slowly squinted at Zhao Sisi. Zhao Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat, standing behind Zhang Muliu and squeezing his eyebrows at Zhao Sisi, as if asking what this is?

Zhao Sisi was not a little easier than Zhao Changsheng, she did detect the killing intent in Zhang Muliu's eyes!

My father said that he would give this thing to Childe, and asked me to ask Childe if he remembered the person who made a bamboo bucket for Childe by the well in Surabaya?"

After listening to Zhao Sisi's words in one breath, Zhang Muliu was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, accept the wooden sword, and muttered:

"Remember!"

The sisters and brothers on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, just now it was just a look, and the killing intent was beyond imagination. Zhao Sisi was even thinking, this year, where did so many people come from to kill him? What made Zhao Changsheng even more frightened was that when the wooden sword was taken out by his sister, not only was Zhang Muliu instantly separated by a barrier, but the green donkey also appeared not far away, and the indifference in the eyes of a man and a beast was the first time he had seen it.

"Before... Senior: Are you alright?"

Zhang Muliu was woken up by a senior shout, came back to his senses and apologized: "This thing means a lot to me, I just lost my mind a little and scared you." ”

Zhao Sisi hurriedly responded: "Zhang Gongzi, it's okay." ”

"Does Mrs. Fushang have a scar on her right arm, like a tooth mark?

Zhao Changsheng and Zhao Sisi glanced at each other, and their family of four knew about this, and the two nodded.

Zhang Muliu smiled brightly at him, turned around and patted Zhao Changsheng on the shoulder: "Changsheng, don't call it a senior in the future, just call it brother." Sisi too, you were born on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, right? I am a few days older than you on the third day of the ninth month. I finally know why the surname is Che, no wonder there has been no sound for so many years! That tooth mark was bitten by me, and the first time I ate cold salad gallic leaves, he took me to pick them, so I was poisoned!"

Zhao Changsheng had already grown his mouth, and even Zhao Sisi couldn't stop his surprised expression. The two said in unison:

"You're the kid that my dad and mother didn't fool me with all the effort?"

Zhang Muliu couldn't stop laughing, pulled the two of them to a short distance, sat down, untied the refilled wine bag and drank hard. Handed it to Zhao Changsheng, Zhao Changsheng touched his stomach and smiled bitterly, Zhao Sisi also shook his head, and the radiant young man had to pour a big mouthful into his mouth.

"It's only five or six days away, you see Sisi is a girl, I am a young man with a stubble on my face, and I am still a child!"

Zhao Changsheng looked ashamed, sat down and looked at Zhang Muliu, and couldn't help but speak: "Senior, no, it's Brother Zhang! I'm fifteen years old, and the child is too unpleasant." It's just that I really didn't expect that the child who was filled with ears since childhood was actually you. ”

Zhao Sisi nodded yes, knelt next to Zhang Muliu, and said:

"When I was a child, I always heard my mother mention you, and then when I grew up, I asked my mother why I didn't go to see you since I thought of you, and my mother said that the child was a hard-working child, destined to be very young and have to carry a heavy burden, and your father and I had to push him when he needed it. Brother Zhang, my father and mother haven't looked for you for so many years, there must be their reasons. ”

"Sister, I remember that my father also said that the brothers and sisters in our palace are in groups, although they are all related to each other, but if he falls, these relatives will never let us go because of any blood relatives. There is only one child, he promised his father that he will take care of his sister, and he will take care of his younger brother in the future. ”

Zhang Muliu subconsciously reached out and rubbed Zhao Sisi's head, then reached out to hug Zhao Changsheng's shoulder, looked up at the faint stars, and said softly:

"Yes, I promised!"

......

The sky was bright, and thousands of people had already made water and put it in front of the carriage. Hu Sasa was woken up in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and quickly washed up and ran to Zhang Muliu. It was not far away, and the little girl who had changed into a pink dress rushed over again, and before she reached Zhang Muliu, she saw a beautiful girl in a blue green dress beside Zhang Muliu, and the little girl immediately pursed her mouth.

The little girl stood next to Zhang Muliu and stared at Zhao Sisi, like a shepherd dog guarding against wild wolves, and made a grimace at Zhao Sisi after holding it for a long time. Zhao Sisi couldn't cry or laugh, what was this little girl thinking? Hu Sa turned around and took Zhang Muliu's hand and shook it one by one, pouting and crying slightly:

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you can't do anything sorry for my sister! The monks have said that color is empty, although this girl has a bit of beauty, but it is far from my sister, don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon!"

Zhang Muliu pressed the little girl's head, and said angrily:

"What nonsense? This is my sister. And who do you call Nizi? You are a half-old girl with a lot of bad intentions, and when you go home, you will be beaten by your sister. ”

Hu sprinkled it with a sound, broke free from Zhang Muliu's hands, ran to Zhao Sisi's side, and said loudly, Sister, I was wrong!

Zhao Changsheng stood in the distance watching the play, and when he saw Zhao Sisi, who was crying and laughing, looking at him, Zhao Changsheng had no choice but to spread his hands. As if Zhao Sisi was asking, "What's going on?", Zhao Changsheng replied: "Then who knows how to go!"

With a little prince and a county lord leading the way, entering the city is naturally very smooth. Ever since Hu Sasa knew that Zhao Changsheng was the future Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he looked incredulous, and kept muttering that this stupid fool who was two or three years older than himself could be a prince?

Hu Sasa muttered all the way, and from time to time he turned his head to look at the young man who had changed into leather armor and a large broadsword on his back. Zhang Muliu lay on the back of the green donkey and went forward, the main roads connected by several city gates in Chang'an City are all stone roads, but they are only prosperous areas, and there are many dirt roads with gravel paving deep drainage channels on both sides, but it is still muddy when it rains. Zhao Sisi looked at his deflated brother and smiled, as if he was not afraid of anyone except his father and mother and himself when he was angry. When he was a child, the prince snatched a very beautiful knife from him, and this kid chased him to the East Palace and hammered the prince and snatched the knife back. Afterwards, Donggong Zhan Shi fiercely participated in his father's book, saying that there was no way to teach his son, but the emperor smiled and said that children fight, not to mention cousins, there is no need to pursue it, so the matter was settled.

Of course, now Zhao Changsheng is afraid of someone who has to add a Zhang Muliu.

The prince's palace is on the edge of the palace, except for King Xuan, when he said that he wanted to build the palace farther away, the ministers all objected, and then the prince of Zhao Xuan didn't care about anyone, and directly built the palace in the northeast corner of Chang'an City. Zhang Muliu and his entourage came in from the west gate, and they had to pass through Chang'an City to get to the palace, but a team of people with cars and horses was very difficult to go. After all, it is a great dynasty with a large number of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the prosperity of the capital can be seen everywhere.

Hu Sasa had to follow Zhang Muliu to the palace, no one could stop him, Zhang Muliu said that it was okay to follow, you would play in Chang'an for a few days, and I would send her back to you when the time came. Liao Xianren and Wan Qian discussed it and simply agreed, and the group had to separate after finding the inn. Liao Xianren took the convoy and pulled a few cars of irrelevant things to pass by a place with wine flags, and the two words "Queqiao" at the door felt that this inn was good, but thousands of people did not agree, so they could only find another one, and finally rested in an inn called "You Fang", Zhang Muliu also said that the name was good.

After all, Hu sprinkled and sprinkled his own law seal, and it was inevitable that some origins were missing, and he slept very comfortably on Zhang Muliu's back. Zhao Sisi looked at the little girl on Zhang Muliu's back, and said secretly in his heart: "Why is it only a few days away!"

"Sisi, how good is my godfather and godmother over the years?"

Before Zhao Sisi could speak, Zhao Changsheng, who was holding the donkey at the end, hurriedly took a stubble: "Those two people have made me and my sister sour in one day, and our bodies are very good! Daddy should fight boxing and practice swords and swords every day, and my mother is all kinds of flowers all over the house, big brother, you will know when you go!"

Zhao Sisi glared at Zhao Changsheng, who immediately shut up.

"Brother Muliu, they turned out to be very good, three years ago on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, my father didn't know what the reason, I went to the palace and quarreled with the imperial uncle, the imperial uncle didn't see him, he stood outside the imperial study and yelled and scolded, saying what was ungrateful, he was blind to help you back then, and there are still many things I heard that the scolding was very ugly, but no one knew what it meant. When I came back the next day, my mother scolded my father, but we didn't dare to persuade him, and my father didn't talk back. From there, my father practiced more diligently every day than before, and my mother planted more flowers and trees every day than before. ”

Zhang Muliu nodded when he heard this, on the ninth day of the junior high school three years ago, he left home for Ganzhou on the sixth day of the junior high school.

"It's okay, godfather is that temper. When I was a child, I learned swords from a person whose name was only Mr. Ma, and my godfather was not as good as preaching bullshit, so he blocked in front of the small hut where people lived and said that he was going to fight, and then somehow he hid in his house for several days and didn't come out. ”

Zhao Changsheng stepped forward and whispered, "That should be beaten!"

"I said you kid was naughty when he was a kid, you should be able to catch up with me, right?"

Zhang Muliu squinted at the young man with the sword on his back, Zhao Sisi next to him covered his mouth and snickered, and Zhao Changsheng also held back a smile when he heard this. Zhang Muliu, who had shaved his beard without riding a donkey, looked at Zhao Sisi with an inquiring look, and Zhao Si thought about it:

"My father always scolded Changsheng, saying, 'If you can catch up with your brother who has never seen you and be half naughty, I won't find a reason to beat you', and later my mother also said, saying that my brother was a little bully in front of the door when he was a child!

Zhang Muliu hurriedly explained: "It's a wooden sword!"

The two of them couldn't help laughing anymore, and Zhao Sisi continued: "Uncle actually doesn't want to beat you, I'm tired of beating you every day, but I can't stop you from looking for a fight! Therefore, no matter how naughty Changsheng is, he can't reach your brother. ”

Zhang Muliu was a little embarrassed, and wanted to reach out to cover his face, but he was afraid of waking up the little girl on his back, so he had to smile awkwardly.

The three of them were talking and laughing and walking forward, a black horse rushed over, and chickens and dogs jumped on a street, until Zhang Muliu and his party approached, and they didn't see the horse. Zhao Changsheng frowned and waited for the horse to rush over, holding the horse's head with one hand, the person on the horse's back fell forward and fell into the air and fell next to Zhao Changsheng.

The man looked at Zhao Changsheng with a playful face, and then looked at Zhao Sisi with a grin before he spoke:

"It turned out to be the little prince and the county lord? Xiaodao was in a hurry to see the master, and he collided with the two, don't blame him!"

Zhao Sisi looked at this young man dressed as a Taoist priest with an expressionless face, and Zhao Changsheng had already stood his sword in front of him.

The little girl on Zhang Muliu's back rubbed her eyes, patted Zhang Muliu's shoulder and yawned and asked:

"What's going on! Why are you so noisy all of a sudden? Hey, there are a lot of people!"

Zhang Muliu put down the sprinkler, took the little girl's hand and said, "It's okay, the two beasts were rampage on the street and injured people, so Changsheng stopped them." ”

The little girl sighed and said that the beasts in Chang'an City were too restless.

The young man in the Taoist robe first squinted at Zhang Muliu and Hu Sasa, and then grinned again, the little Taoist priest who smiled very gloomy looked directly at Zhang Muliu, Zhang Muliu sneered in return, let go of Hu Sasa's hand and walked to the front and said to the disciple of the true person who protected the country:

"Playing a smiling tiger with me?!"

The young man in the Taoist robe grinned and said:

"Want to learn from that Jianglong?"

......

Zhang Muliu, who had shaved his beard, looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old. Zhao Sisi and Zhao Changsheng, brother and sister, stood on either side of Zhang Muliu, slightly back.

Zhao Sisi looked at the young man who changed his surname to Yu with an expressionless face, his brother and sister have never looked down on this "soft wolf" who abandoned the door of the mortal family in the name of seeking Taoism. In fact, there is no need for Brother Muliu to slap him in the face at all, he and Changsheng can slap him in the face, and the only reason why people can endure it is nothing more than that there is an increasingly unworthy protector behind him.

Zhang Muliu looked at the young man who was only a few steps away from him and spoke again:

"Waiting here for so long just to make a cruel remark?"

The young Yu Zhanlin was a little surprised: "Why are you waiting for you?"

Zhang Muliu replied: "Fight here?"

Yu Zhanlin replied quite cheerfully: "It's all right!"

"Let's change places, Chang'an City can't afford to stand the three punches and two kicks of Brother Beigu and Xiao Zhenren. ”

In the distance, there was a boy in white, who was very handsome. As he walked, he folded the fan, and when a few people approached, he bowed to Zhang Muliu and Yu Zhanlin, and then turned his head to Zhao Sisi's two brothers and sisters, and called Sister Sisi, the eldest brother.

Zhao Changsheng was about to jump up and kick this begging cousin, but the white-clothed man hid next to Zhang Muliu and said with a wry smile: "You are endless, didn't you just snatch Sister Sisi's knife, and still hold a grudge after so many years?"

Zhang Muliu shook his head with a smile, and the sword-wielding young man who was about to get up gave up. This prince of the dynasty doesn't have any shackles, except for being too good-looking and a little annoying, there is no place for Zhang Muliu to dislike for the time being.

The crown prince also smiled back at Zhang Muliu, and when he turned his head to look at Yu Zhanlin, he was no longer so kind, and looked up and down at the chief disciple of the Protector of the Country, and said:

"Mo is the real person who protects the country, does he really think that he can cover the sky with one hand in my Song Realm, or do you think that my Zhao family can be bullied?"

Yu Zhanlin replied with a smile: "How dare you, the world belongs to your family." ”

The prince snorted coldly! The prince Zhao Lu, who seemed to be in a verbal confrontation with Yu Zhanlin, actually quietly transmitted Zhang Muliu:

"Chen Shucheng worshiped the concubine of the first emperor as his godmother, and now he is the person who is highly recommended by the real person who protects the country to take over as the envoy of the Xiaoqiu Mansion, and the father is also difficult to start for a while, and I hope that Brother Zhang will be patient for the time being, and Zhao Lu will definitely give an explanation to the three of them in the future!"

Zhang Mu Liuxin said that these two fools found Zhao directly, so the voice replied with two words: "It's easy to say!"

The fight couldn't be fought, Zhang Muliu went back and took Hu Sasa's hand and continued to walk forward, and no longer spoke to the prince of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Don't worry, we have a fight, you go back and ask Yu Mengmeng first if you dare to let you fight with me, you will die if you lose! ”

Yu Zhanlin suddenly put away his smile, and his face turned a little pale. The name Yu Mengmeng, the number of people in the world who know it is definitely not more than a hand, because most of the people who know it also know their master's eccentricities.

Zhang Muliu pulled the green donkey, the green donkey carried the beard, left and right were the little prince and the little county lord of the Xuan Palace, several people left slowly, the prince looked at Yu Zhanlin, did not hide his disgusted eyes, walked over and patted the stiff-faced young man on the shoulder, and said lightly:

"Don't be afraid, I know you're afraid, because I'm afraid too!"

......

Hu sprinkled it back onto Zhang Muliu's back, saying that it was much more comfortable than the unicorn's back. Zhang Muliu could only smile bitterly at this, this little girl seemed to be dependent on herself.

In fact, for others, it can be seen that Hu Sasa shows closeness to this young man who has changed into a gray robe, but only Zhang Muliu knows that she must have not been so presumptuous to play with others for a long time, and all kinds of naughtiness before just wanted people to give up on her!

It's hard for others to make people admit themselves. It's hard for you to make people give up on themselves.

When he left Xiaozhushan for the first time, Zhang Muliu was only thirteen years old, and he was still dressed in black since he was a child. The eldest aunt sewed a treasure bag with a lot of flowers, which was full of treasure money. Grandma sewed a few five-baht coins in her sleeves, saying that the money in the treasure bag is enough for you to spend on the road, and when you get to the place, spend more of your own money and less of what others give.

At that time, Zhang Muliu had been practicing swords for many years, and he only practiced holding swords, blocking swords, and swords! During that time, Zhang Muliu was particularly depressed, and the little boy with a pale face was slashing his sword on the edge of the small thatched hut day by day, and finally one day he couldn't help it, squatting behind the thatched hut and sobbing quietly, and the middle-aged man with stubble on his face only said:

"You can't pick up the sword now, when you feel that you have the ability to pick it up, learn swordsmanship again!"

Before going out, the boy who had only walked to Xiaozhu Town as far as he had also met a group of rough men who were willing to take him with him on the way, and that group of people had a teenager about the same age as him. That year, Zhang Muliu followed the merchants of the horse gang to Chang'an City for the first time, and also stopped at the inn called "You Fang". I have also passed by many small towns before, but this group of rough men has never dressed themselves well, until at the Youfang Inn, this group of people have shaved their beards and changed their clothes, especially when they saw the young man who was playing with him happily all the way combed his hair and changed into a brocade dress, Zhang Muliu stood at the door and looked at the group of people at a loss.

This very small thing is a huge ridicule to the teenager who has always thought that all men are equal.

After leaving Chang'an, he went south alone, and after the boy took out a five-baht coin sewn into his sleeve and bought a dress similar to that of his peers, he felt that he could lift his head when walking.

Along the way, I also encountered a lot of bad things for that age. When talking to people, I always want to hide my background, and I also make up a lot of unrealistic words to talk to others. But in fact, the young man who has just set foot in the rivers and lakes does not know that there are often two kinds of people in his mouth, one is that even if he is worth a lot of money, he will only be the same as ordinary people. The other is even simpler, where ordinary people haunt, you can't see the second kind of people.

Until the beginning of that big dream, the boy and a dying old man were boating in Pengze. It was the scorching summer season, and there were many people boating on the water, and the boy saw a big boat very close to his small boat, which seemed to be students from different places swimming in the lake here, and each said where his hometown was, and whose name was.

Among them, there was a young man who spoke the broken official dialect of the Central Plains, saying that he was from the ancient Qiang country, and a student next to him ridiculed:

"Gu Qiang, is it a small county in the Liang Kingdom?"

The young man who called himself Ji Amu frowned slightly at first, and then replied with a smile:

"A small border country, although it is not worth mentioning, is also a place where I was born and raised. ”

The old man in the cabin suddenly sighed, and the young man Zhang Muliu was ashamed for the first time.

It was also from that time on, even though the young man who had fallen asleep learned to shoot a gun in that endless dream, he never dared to hold a sword. He finally knew why holding a sword was such a difficult thing in Mr. Ma's mouth. If the person with the sword can't be honest with the sword in his heart, then even if he is holding a peerless sword in his hand, it is only a killing weapon and not a sword.

There is no old land in the dream, and Zhang Muliu, who grew up and grew up in the dream, said that he was a ranger, a countryman!

After waking up from the dream, the old man said to the young man with a pale face and empty eyes with his last breath:

"How can it be as good as it could be!"

Zhang Muliu leaned on the boat gang and looked at the old man who had no more air intake and said:

"But I want to be worthy of my heart. ”

Zhang Muliu, who lost his soul, buried the old man who forced him to build a foundation with a dream, and rode a donkey to Hongdu City. After raising her hand and knocking on the door in front of a house by the lake, a very beautiful woman came out, and the two looked at each other in a daze.

Zhang Muliu took out a handful of grape seeds that had dried up to the point of unrecognizable from his arms, and he had died and lived countless times in his dreams, and he had already left the immature boy who should have been at this age, and at this moment he finally found the childishness that was only not long ago in the eyes of others, and the grievances that had accumulated for thousands of years were finally out of control, and Zhang Muliu, who was full of tears, said to the woman:

"I said that I would come back and plant it in the yard with me, and I wouldn't have to spend money to buy it next year, but I never came back as soon as I left, and I forgot whether my mother had a round face or a thin face!"

The beautiful woman looked at the young man with tears on his pale face, and hugged the young man in her arms, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, but kept choking and said:

"Liu'er, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Muliu spent the mid-autumn with his mother, whom he met for the first time. Later, on the third day of the ninth lunar month, the beautiful woman made a bowl of noodles for Zhang Muliu, and Zhang Muliu ate it with relish. A girl in the woman's arms looked up and asked the woman:

"Mother, how come you have your brother's face, yours?"

The woman rubbed the girl's little head, looked at Zhang Muliu and said, "I couldn't give him a birthday before, so I took this day as my birthday, and after eating a bowl of longevity noodles for him, it was as if I was still by his side!"

......

For the little girl on her back, Zhang Muliu, who has shaved his beard, actually likes it very much. It is because when he knocked himself into the air by the river, he didn't feel that "a worldly scholar is just a scholar, what can he do with himself?" and also because the post station saw that his stubble was about to suffer miserably, if there were no tears at that time, Zhang Muliu would definitely only pretend to fall asleep after being hit by the big man with a knife.

After all, this girl who was lying on his back and pointing east and west did not disappoint.

Zhao Sisi teased Hu Sprinkle on the side, Zhao Changsheng was frightened and led the green donkey in the back, and also took a bite of a young man, after talking about our family, I will serve you with high-quality forage! After the green donkey's indifferent eyes, the young man pretended that he had never said anything.

It is said that it is the northeast corner, but it is actually not far from the palace city, but it is difficult to go out of the palace at the main gate and then go to the palace of King Xuan. Zhao Changsheng and Zhao Sisi walked to the front and said hello to the porter, and the old porter looked at Zhang Muliu, and ran to the inner garden with a smile on his face. Zhang Muliu looked at the four big characters "Prince Xuan's Mansion" hanging high at the door, and his heart was also very excited. He slowly put Hu Sprinkle on the ground, and then took the little girl's hand, and murmured:

"It's finally here!"
