Zigui County, Mojuan City.

Today's Mojuan City, although the New Year has passed, the lively atmosphere is as if it is still in the New Year, every household is full of lights, and there seems to be a happy thing to happen.

Just because, a few days later, on the eighth day of the fourth month, it was the marriage of the second son of Yijian Pavilion and the second lady of Mingzhu Building.

In previous years, when there was a natural disaster or man-made disaster, there would be Yijian Pavilion to come forward, and the people in the city were more like the head of a county than the county guard, and it can be said that every household in the city had received the favor of Yijian Pavilion, no, not only Mojuan City, but even the entire Zigui County!

Therefore, at this time, in Mojuan City, not only the original residents of the city, but also many ordinary people and rangers who came from other places to celebrate in advance.

Seeing this situation, Yijian Pavilion has already chartered the five most luxurious restaurants in the city, and Yijian Pavilion, who was going to give more money, was refused, and all the owners behind the restaurant did not take a penny of the silver of Yijian Pavilion, and said that the guests of Yijian Pavilion are naturally the distinguished guests of Mojuan City, and it will be a happy day soon.

For these things, the county guard has nothing to say, after all, he doesn't let himself worry about it, and he doesn't spend a penny of his money, and he can also make the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, as long as Yijian Pavilion does not rebel, he will naturally turn a blind eye.

It's just that there are a lot more rangers in the city, and the county guard is afraid that there will inevitably be some bumps when there are too many people, so he repeatedly told the city guards to strengthen their vigilance and patrols, and try not to have a big conflict with these people in the rivers and lakes.

Fortunately, as the landlord, Yijian Pavilion also sprinkled his disciples all over the city, helping the city guards to maintain law and order, and for a while, nothing unpleasant happened.

After all, they are all here to congratulate, even if there is occasional friction, as long as someone on the side says, "Everyone is here to congratulate, and the big thing has to wait until after the wedding banquet of the second son." With such words, the two sides put down the weapons in their hands with a lot of face, and looked at each other with a smile of enmity.

Therefore, seeing that there were more and more people and rangers in the city celebrating the second son of Yijian Pavilion, and decorating the entire Mojuan City with excitement, the county guard not only ordered the curfew to be lifted in the past few days, but also ordered the mansion to increase the generous gifts that had been increased several times.

The whole city is waiting for the auspicious day to come.

And one of the protagonists of the happy event, Huo Chunlei, the second son of Yijian Pavilion, what is he doing at the moment?

The pedestrians coming and going outside the city gate have turned their eyes to the city gate, wearing a red robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, and the second son of the Huo family, who has also cleaned up his beard, has been standing outside the city gate for two days.

Some of the guests were a little flattered to see Huo Chunlei go out of the city to greet him in person, and after a while of greetings, Huo Chunlei instructed his entourage to bring the guests into the city and settle down, still standing outside the city gate, looking southwest.

Over time, the guests gradually came back to their senses, and it turned out that Huo Ergongzi had been standing outside the door all along, waiting for the arrival of a certain distinguished guest.

The guests couldn't help muttering in private, and they didn't know who the Holy One actually had such a big face, so Huo Ergongzi stood outside the city gate for two whole days - just to welcome this distinguished guest.

Suddenly, everyone outside the city saw that Huo Ergongzi had a happy smile on his face, and after a long laugh, he walked towards the front.

At the end of the line of sight, a ride came to the dust.

Xu Zhaonan, who had been traveling for a few days, rode Xiaobai all the way, and finally arrived at Mojuan City on the third day of the fourth lunar month.

Looking at the gradually clear city on the horizon, the red lanterns hanging high on the city wall, and the guests waiting in line to enter the city in an orderly manner, and Huo Chunlei who was welcoming him at the door, Xu Zhaonan's face showed a little moved.

When Xiao Bai ran not far outside the city, he suddenly stopped his steps, and his powerful limbs lifted a lot of dirt on the ground, Xu Zhaonan jumped up by inertia, and flew forward for a distance, and stopped steadily in front of Huo Chunlei.

"Brother Xu!"

"Brother Huo!"

The two hugged each other.

At the city gate, many guests who saw this scene lowered their heads and whispered to the people around them, and asked who the young man in front of him who was riding a white wolf and a black outfit was, and he actually drove Huo Ergongzi to wait for him outside the door for two days.

After inquiring around, the guests all shook their heads helplessly, because no one knew who the person in front of him was, so he had to silently leave a mark in his heart - for this person, he can only make friends in the future, not evil.

"Brother Xu, I thought you weren't coming! It's been a hard time for my brother to wait these days!"

After hugging him, Huo Chunlei let go of Xu Zhaonan, clenched his fist and punched him the shoulder, causing Xiao Bai who followed him to bare his teeth.

"Hahahaha, and you, Brother Xiaobai, welcome!"

Huo Chunlei looked at Xiaobai again and greeted him with a smile.

However, Xiaobai was in front of outsiders, but he was very arrogant, squinted at him, and sniffed the wings of his nose, only to remember that this person was the person who was lying on his back and dyed his snow-white and bright hair red, sneezed, turned his head to the side, and ignored him.

"Hahaha. ”

Huo Chunlei was deflated by Xiaobai, haha smiled and didn't care, and continued to smile at Xu Zhaonan: "Brother Xu, quickly follow me into the city, I have already ordered someone to prepare wine and food, just wait for my brother to come, let's not get drunk tonight!"

Looking at Huo Chunlei's enthusiastic appearance, Xu Zhaonan's heart warmed, and then he also laughed, and said proudly: "Okay!

With that, the two walked arm in arm and walked towards the city together.

"Second son, is this the guest you have been waiting for for two days?

"Hahaha, Lord Wang Zhuang is polite, this is my brother Xu, don't look at his young age, his kung fu is amazing, see each other in the future, but you have to take a look at it!"

"Ouch, Xu Shaoxia, I'm glad to be there. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. ”

"Second son, I don't know where this young man came from, heroic, a talent!"

"Hahaha, Gang Master Sun is also here! This is my brother Xu, who has passed his life, and I will ask Gang Master Sun to take care of one or two in the future!"

"Tut-tut, Xu Shaoxia, look up for a long time. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Along the way, people kept coming to talk, either the leader of this gang or the owner of the village, all of whom asked Huo Chunlei where this young man was sacred.

For those who came to talk, Huo Chunlei first smiled heroically, and then patted his chest and introduced to others, this is his brother!

and praised Xu Zhaonan, and finally asked everyone to see each other in the future.

As for other information, Huo Chunlei didn't say much, it was because even he didn't know who Xu Zhaonan was and who he was trained from. I only know that although he is young, his skills are not shallow, and he must be a famous teacher, but what kind of sect and sect is specific, Xu Zhaonan doesn't want to say more, so he doesn't ask much.

But none of this matters, you just need to know that he has a chivalrous heart and has saved his life!

This alone is enough for Huo Chunlei, who is from all over the world, to recognize him as a lifelong brother!

Regarding Xu Zhaonan's identity, although Huo Chunlei did not say it explicitly, the person who could drive Huo Ergongzi to personally guard outside the city for two days must have a great friendship. Even if it was just for the sake of Yijian Pavilion's face, everyone would definitely greet Xu Zhaonan with a smile, and Huo Chunlei's vague words left room for everyone to speculate in their hearts, making Xu Zhaonan add a layer of mystery to everyone's hearts.

This made the grinning Huo Chunlei never think of it.

From the conversation between Huo Chunlei and everyone, Xu Zhaonan also gradually learned that Brother Huo had stood outside the city gate for two days, just to welcome his arrival. Although he didn't say anything, he was greatly moved in his heart.

The two of them entered the city, constantly dealing with visitors from all sides along the way, until Huo Chunlei's mouth was dry, and Xu Zhaonan's smiling face was a little stiff, only then did they see a magnificent building appear in front of them.

Twenty-five huge copper nails were nailed to the vermilion gate of the cave, the high walls on both sides were covered with festive red silk, and the steps paved with huge bluestone in front of the door were also covered with bright red carpets, and two identical stone lions squatted quietly on the stone base carved with cloud patterns at the door, and a round jasper ball was pressed under the hard claws, and the mouth was wide open to show its fangs, glaring ahead.

At the door, the left and right rows of disciples in big red tight clothes with scimitars on their waists looked ahead, standing meticulously, guarding the three big characters written in gilt on the tall plaque behind them-Yijian Pavilion!

Seeing Huo Chunlei leading guests to come, the disciples on both sides bowed down and saluted, shouting: "Welcome the second son back to his house!"

Even if he had never seen such a battle outside the Jiangyue City County Guard Mansion before, Xu Zhaonan opened his mouth wide in shock, until he heard the shouts of the disciples outside the door, he came back to his senses in a daze, and said with emotion: "Brother Huo, this is Yijian Pavilion?

"In the past, it wasn't like this, isn't it that I'm going to marry Ye Feihong of Mingzhu Tower in a few days, in order to please have a celebration, I made a little publicity. Huo Chunlei shook his head with a wry smile, and then said with a smile: "Brother Xu, the wine and food in the pavilion have already been prepared, please come in quickly." ”

After that, he led Xu Zhaonan into the cabinet.

In the middle of the flowers, a cobblestone paved path, winding straight to the inner courtyard, surrounded by thick Zinan pillars supporting the long corridor, many servants walk back and forth in the corridor.

After walking for a long time, the two came to the living room specially prepared for Xu Zhaonan, the wide marble table in the room was already full of wine and food, some of them were still steaming, thinking that the servants who had the foresight to see the return of the second son saw that the hot meal in the pot was served in advance, it was too hot in the morning and cold in the evening.

"Come on, come on, Brother Xu, take a seat quickly. ”

Huo Chunlei held Xu Zhaonan's hand and didn't let go, with an enthusiastic face, and couldn't wait to have a drink with him.

Xu Zhaonan was in a trance by the luxury he saw along the way, and he was already pressed into place on the round stool with mahogany carving patterns when he dragged him.

Xu Zhaonan shook his head, returned to his senses slightly, looked at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of him, and said speechlessly: "Brother Huo, just the two of us, it's too wasteful for you to prepare so much food." ”

"Where the words. ”

Huo Chunlei smiled freely, squeezed his eyebrows at the little white nunu lying on the side, and said: "How can it be just the two of us, isn't there still a little white brother, you were not the only one who saved me that day, and the little white brother also made a great effort!"

"Hahaha, I almost forgot about Xiaobai. Xu Zhaonan smiled, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Brother Huo, you are here again, the younger brother was just a gesture that day, why do you let Brother Huo remember it so much." ”

Although the contact time is not long, Huo Chunlei knows his character, chivalrous and unwilling to take credit, so he doesn't mention it anymore at the moment, gets up and fills the glass of wine, raises his glass and says: "Okay, if you don't mention it, don't mention it, it's all in the wine, drink!"

"Drink!"

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Zhaonan seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "Brother Huo, have you checked what the two of us said that night when you come back?"

Huo Chunlei poured a glass of wine alone, and after drinking it, he put the quilt on the table heavily, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, after I came back, I told my father and eldest brother all about this trip, and I also told you and my guesses." However, there is no evidence, and it is impossible to determine who the thief is, so it is difficult to ......."

Xu Zhaonan frowned and said, "Then put this matter aside for the time being? There should always be some clue, right?"
