Xichu is a place where chivalry prevails.

It was all because of the fact that Western Chu had an imperial uncle who only loved the rivers and lakes and was unwilling to be crowned king, once he attained the Tao and achieved the realm of the grandmaster, and later the people of Western Chu followed suit.

Gradually, there were far more Jianghu sects in Western Chu than in the other two countries.

It's a pity that after the Northern Zhou and Dongsheng broke through Western Chu, they washed the rivers and lakes with blood, except for most of the martial arts people in Western Chu, such as the thousand-year-old Jianzhuang......

Jianzhuang, taken from the meaning of the world's famous swords are out of my village, Jianzhuang disciples all over the world, it is rumored that among the five great masters, two kendo masters have not become famous, have consulted the master of Jianzhuang.

After all, it is a Jianghu sect, no matter how famous it is and how outstanding its disciples are, it will not be able to defeat the iron hooves of the Dongsheng army.

Fortunately, Emperor Dongsheng was not brutal enough to exterminate humanity, and only killed most of the knights of the three states of Western Chu, and when no one could shake his imperial power, he left some incense for the Western Chu martial arts.

The backing mountain city, which originally belonged to Guangnan County of the Western Chu State, was adjacent to Jiangnan County in the north, and was later occupied by Dongsheng, changed its name, and is now called Nan'an County, but the name of a city, I think Emperor Dongsheng did not have the leisure time to change the name of one place after another, so it was retained as usual.

Because of the distance of the Tiangao Emperor, many of the Jianghu sects living in the backing city were lucky to survive, and there were also many martial arts people who fled here to take root here, and gradually turned the backing city into a gathering place of fish and dragons.

The Huo family of Yijian Pavilion, as one of the few wealthy factions in Dongshengguo, naturally has a stronghold here.

It's also worth mentioning that there is no curfew in the backing town.

In the past, there were, but the backing city was not a big city after all, and how could the weak city defense army control these outlaws, and as a result, the ability of the defenders was questioned by the upper echelons and was transferred out of the backing city.

The new lord guarding the city is even more unbearable than his predecessor, and he directly canceled the curfew at the beginning of his tenure, but fortunately, he has not caused any trouble, but has always been at peace with these people in the rivers and lakes, and the county keeper above has acquiesced when he saw this situation.

Chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and this is the case.

In the evening, the backing town is still bustling, the streets are crowded, and the small vendors everywhere show no sign of closing their stalls and going home.

I heard that there was once a master who incarnated as a small vendor to live in seclusion in this mountain city, and later met a few scoundrels who ate white food, and the master did not want to entangle with them, but the scoundrel is a scoundrel, not only eating white food, but also seeing that the stall owner is old and alone, he wants to bully the stall owner, so as to make a mistake.

The outcome of the story, and imagine it.

Therefore, although most of the people who came and went to the mountain city were outlaws, they were very polite to the vendors who set up stalls along the streets, and never lost money, which was even more polite than the city guards.

The backing city of the rising moon ushered in a strange group of people and beasts.

A young man in Mai led the way in front of him with his head held high, followed by a huge white wolf behind him, and a man covered in blood on the white wolf's body whispered something to the young man in Mai from time to time, as if he was giving him directions.

Some good deeds wanted to come forward to talk, but before they could get closer, they saw the huge white wolf with scarlet eyes coming towards him, and his snow-white fur was windless, and he was immediately frightened and did not dare to take a step.

This strange combination is Xu Zhaonan and his entourage, who led Xiao Bai to carry Huo Chunlei, because Huo Chunlei was injured, it was not easy to rush away, and the distance of dozens of miles actually took a full afternoon, and it was not until the evening that he arrived at the mountain city.

"Brother Xu, walk to the street in front, and then turn left, there should be a business named Beilai, which is the property of my Yijian Pavilion. Huo Chunlei whispered to Xu Zhaonan to show the way.

"Should?"

Xu Zhaonan heard the uncertainty in his tone.

"Hey......

Huo Chunlei laughed dryly and said, "I haven't been to this backing city either, but my eldest brother knew that I was going south this time, so he told me about some of the family's strongholds in the south." ”

"I see. Xu Zhaonan nodded.

After a short time, the two walked to the end of the street and looked to the left, and sure enough, there was a big signboard on the side of the road, with the name "From the North" written on it.

Xu Zhaonan said with some joy: "Brother Huo, sure enough, it's here, we have arrived." ”

When the two were on the road, they had already informed each other of their ages, Huo Chunlei was four years older than Xu Zhaonan, and the two were called brothers.

Huo Chunlei also showed a relieved smile lying on Xiao Bai's back, he should be safe here, no matter how fierce the thief is, he will not dare to poison him in the industry of this mountain city and Yijian Pavilion.

The shopkeeper of the business from the north saw the strange line standing outside the door, and hurriedly greeted him, saying: "I don't know if the distinguished guest is coming, I have missed the welcome, and I hope that the distinguished guest will forgive his sins." I don't know why the two distinguished guests are here. ”

I don't know which eye he can see that this blood-covered Huo Chunlei is also a distinguished guest.

Xu Zhaonan opened his mouth and introduced: "This is your son-in-law Huo Chunlei, who was attacked by gangsters on the road and was met by me, you can lead him in first to recuperate." ”

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked Huo Rendi up and down a few times.

Xu Zhaonan and the others thought that even Huo Chunlei himself had never been to this backing city, and the shopkeeper should not know him, if he wanted the shopkeeper to believe it, he would definitely have to say something.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper once escorted the goods to Mojuan City and saw Huo Chunlei from afar. The shopkeeper looked at it a few times, and slowly overlapped the person covered in blood in front of him with Huo Gongzi in his memory.

After confirming his identity, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help his son-in-law back to the store.

Xiao Bai saw a stranger approaching, his fangs poked out, staring at the shopkeeper, if he dared to take a step forward, I was afraid that blood would be splashed on the spot immediately.

"Ouch!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he suddenly stepped back, tripped over the threshold, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Zhaonan touched Xiaobai's wolf head to appease him for a while, and then calmed Xiaobai down, and then helped Huo Chunlei to walk towards the store, and Xiaobai immediately followed.

When the shopkeeper saw that the white wolf was quiet, he got up from the ground, didn't care about patting the dust on his body, hurriedly held Huo Chunlei's other side with his hand, and shouted to the store: "Are all the people inside dead?" ”

When the people in the store heard the shouting, they immediately ran out of a few guys, and everyone had to help Huo Chunnei into the store, put him on the bed in the inner room and lay down.

Looking at Huo Chunlei lying on the bed, Xu Zhaonan also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I finally sent Brother Huo back safely, and after the shopkeeper invited the doctor back, I should say goodbye." ”

Hearing that Xu Zhaonan was leaving, Huo Chunlei hurriedly struggled to get up from the bed, grabbed his hand and said: "Brother Xu, don't panic, although the grace of saving your life cannot be repaid, but you must stay for at least a few days, so that the elder brother can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Xu Zhaonan hesitated: "Senior sister at home is still waiting for me to go back, I'm afraid that I will go back late, so I will worry my senior sister in vain." ”

Huo Chunlei persuaded: "When my brother sent me back, didn't he leave a letter at home, it should be fine." In this way, stay and rest for one night, and leave tomorrow, how much will the old brother do his best to be a landlord. ”

Seeing that Huo Chunlei was so enthusiastic and excited, the strips of cloth wrapped around his chest were oozing blood, Xu Zhaonan had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, then rest for one night and leave tomorrow." ”

After that, he helped Huo Chunlei to lie down, and quietly waited for the shopkeeper to find the doctor.

Not long after, the shopkeeper hurriedly led the doctor back, and re-bandaged Huo Chunlei and medicated him.

I don't want to mention the busyness.

At this moment, the night was thick, and Huo Chunlei, who had been re-bandaged, was sitting at the stone table in the backyard, sitting opposite Xu Zhaonan, who had been led to the guest room to freshen up and changed into a brand new brocade dress.

The table was full of delicious side dishes, and there were two jars of fine wine on the table, Huo Chunlei raised his glass and thanked Xu Zhaonan and said: "Don't say much, if Brother Xu has a useful place for his brother in the future, just say a word, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will also go!"

Xu Zhaonan stopped: "Brother Huo, you are seriously injured and have not recovered, so it is still not appropriate to drink." ”

"I have a great time seeing my brother today, how can my husband be without wine!hahahaha!"

Huo Chunlei smiled freely and continued: "Besides, my brother also heard what the doctor said just now, the knife wound is not deep, and my physique will be fine in a few days, so I don't have to mind." ”

Medical skills and poison techniques are already connected, and since Xu Zhaonan has obtained the mantle inheritance of Grandma Sun, he can naturally poison people and heal people. Naturally, it can be seen that Huo Chunlei's knife injury is not serious, and the martial arts of the person who injured him are not too high, and he has not cultivated his sword qi, otherwise Huo Chunlei would have died a long time ago.

The reason for Huo Chunlei's weakness was most likely the poison smeared on the knife - after being dissolved by Xu Zhaonan casually, it was naturally fine.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaonan let him go, raised the glass of wine and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Acting chivalrous and righteous is what my generation of people in the rivers and lakes should do, it's just a gesture, Brother Huo doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

"Hey. ”

Huo Chunlei interrupted and feigned anger: "If I don't take the grace of saving my life to heart, wouldn't I, Huo Chunlei, be the wolf-hearted person." ”

"Uh...... Brother Huo...... I didn't mean that......"

After all, Xu Zhaonan rarely communicated with outsiders, and thought that Huo Chunlei was really angry, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Hahaha. ”

Huo Chunlei saw his embarrassment, and said with a heroic smile: "I understand what my brother means, I don't say much, it's all in the wine, let's drink this cup together." ”

After that, the two drank another drink.

Xu Zhaonan put down his wine glass and asked, "Brother Huo, the person who blocked the way and intercepted the killing, do you have eyebrows in your heart now?"

Huo Chunlei also put down the wine glass, picked up a chopsticks and fed it into his mouth, bit it fiercely, as if he was swallowing the killer, and then said: "I told my brother before, I never have a grudge against anyone in Yijian Pavilion, and I really can't imagine who wants to kill me." ”

Xu Zhaonan looked around and thought about it, and said, "What if it's a grudge caused by business dealings with the business?"

"Dealings?"

Huo Chunlei thought it was a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but he never thought that the interception might be caused by the business, he frowned, and thought: "If it is because of business dealings, my family's business from the north has become bigger and bigger in recent years. But what about the money? ”

Xu Zhaonan got up and poured Huo Chunlei's cup full, poured another cup for himself, and said with a smile: "Brother Huo is broad-minded, so he naturally thinks that it is more than that, but there are always some villains in this world, and they don't think like Brother Huo in their hearts." ”

"Hmm......" Huo Chunlei groaned, I don't know what he thought, he raised his glass and took a sip of wine, nodded and said: "Brother is reasonable, it seems that I think this person is too simple." Dad once made a marriage contract for me, and after I go back, I will marry Ye Feihong, the second lady of Mingzhu Building, presumably this move has attracted the jealousy of some people, and I want to get rid of me as soon as possible. ”

Pearl Tower, is one of the top two wealthy families in Dongsheng, Ye Feihua, the eldest lady of the Ye family, is a business wizard, just a few years will spread the family industry throughout Dongsheng, almost every city in Dongsheng has the industry of Pearl Tower.

If Yijian Pavilion and Mingzhu Tower are married, its commercial strength will inevitably go to a higher level.

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Huo Chunlei's eyes, he almost died in the hands of those people when he went out this time, obviously he was really angry.

"After I go back, I will tell my father about it, and let him find out who has business dealings with my family's business, and who will think that my Huo family has blocked their financial route. Alas......" Huo Chunlei sighed and continued: "Actually, it's also to blame me for not being good at learning, I didn't listen to my father and eldest brother in the past, and I refused to cultivate quietly. ”

"Brother Huo doesn't have to be sad about this, from now on, if you hurry up and cultivate, it's not too late. Xu Zhaonan comforted.

"Hahaha. ”

Huo Chunlei said with a smile: "That's what I said, if those people didn't want to kill me, I wouldn't have met a young hero like my brother today." The so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and the blessings and misfortunes are coming, and this is how things in this world are. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Huo has won the prize. ”

"Hahaha......"
