Chapter 4 Deterrence and Defense

"That cheap hoof has outstanding talent, but it's still a little worse than those of us who were in the escort team back then. ”

"Although I have learned the fat man's martial arts moves, but what I have learned is mixed, and there is no specialization, if you want to reach the top of martial arts, a clever internal strength is essential, and the Xing family's mixed yuan is decisive, if it is really as the rumors say, it is a peerless heart method that integrates hundreds of martial arts, it is naturally her best choice. Xiong Yitong patiently explained to Zuoqiu Moshu.

The fat man looked at Zuoqiu Moshu's innocent white and tender face, and then laughed and said: "Your sister Xiong came to Xunzhou City a few days earlier than you in order to repay a favor with an elm head, and when I met that woman the day before yesterday, your sister Xiong disagreed with her and had a big fight." ”

"Who won, who won?" Zuoqiu Moshu hurriedly asked.

"Guess?" the fat man narrowed his eyes, pretending to be mysterious.

Xiong Yitong didn't give the fat man a chance to sell Guanzi, and said bluntly: "It's just a palm, I lost." ”

Zuoqiu Moshu also looked a little lonely, but immediately comforted: "It's okay, Sister Xiong will definitely be able to defeat that bad woman in the future." ”

"You're sweet-mouthed, but I'm afraid you can't beat her anymore. ”

Zuo Qiu Ning watched them chatting from the side, and a wave of anxiety and irritability surged into his heart, because it was about to be time to go to Xing's house for a banquet.

He said in his heart that he couldn't delay any longer, straightened his body, and asked loudly: "Brother Bazhi, do you know what is the reason why the Xing family invited his father, who is a soldier of the military department, to the banquet?"

The fat man turned his head to look at Zuo Chuning, and there was that playful smile on his face: "You are calm, and you only asked now, I thought you were not afraid of death." ”

Zuo Chuning was sad in his heart, it seems that this fat man knows a lot, and he expects that his trip will be more auspicious.

I was about to ask, but I saw a dark place at the corner of the stairs, and I don't know when there was a person standing, and when I looked closely, it was the black robe that was looking at me in the guest room on the second floor.

The black robe stood there alone, staring at Zuo Chuning with a pitiful expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You've finally seen the Lord. The fat man put one hand on Zuo Chuning's shoulder and said jokingly.

Zuoqiu Moshu followed her brother's gaze and glanced over, also with a puzzled face, and turned her head to ask who Xiong Yitong was. But seeing Xiong Yitong's unbelievable look, he stared at the black robe, and was shocked, isn't this person the elm head?

The fat man looked at the black robe with a happy face, stood up and prepared to greet him.

The black robe shook his head at the fat man, walked to the wooden table, sat down opposite the fat man, and laid the black sheath weapon in his hand flat on the table.

Zuo Chuning has been watching the movements of the black robe, but Xiong Yitong and the fat man look like they have taken it for granted, thinking that they have long been familiar with each other, all kinds of emotions finally broke out, and he stood up abruptly and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here to find our brothers and sisters?"

The black robe looked calm, and said softly: "Bazhi and Yitong are here to find me." ”

After saying that, he looked up at Zuo Chuning, with a peaceful and quiet smile on his face.

Zuoqiu Moshu heard the fat man say that Zuo Chuning was not afraid of death just now, she was simple-minded but never stupid, and guessed that Zuo Chuning's purpose in coming to Jiangnan was not pure, and at this time she also asked anxiously: "What the hell is going on? Will my brother die if he goes to Xing's house?"

The fat man was about to speak, but the black robe preemptively said, "It's nothing, Bazhi is joking with your brother." ”

Seeing this, the fat man also followed and said: "Yes, just kidding, just kidding, since your brother Ping said that he would not die, then the eighth brother promised you that your brother would be able to come out of the Xing family safely." ”

Zuoqiu Moshu was uneasy and wanted to ask, but Xiong Yitong stopped her and scolded softly: "You should never follow your brother to this Jiangnan Province." Zuoqiu Moshu looked aggrieved when she heard this, and she didn't dare to speak out again.

Zuo Qiu Ning watched everyone take care of their little sister like this, no matter how much doubt and anger in his heart were not easy to attack, and maybe the Xing family really just invited him to watch the ceremony?

When everyone saw this scene, they all laughed out loud, Zuo Chuning scratched the back of his head, looked at the black robe, and just heard the fat man ask the little sister to call this black-robed Brother Ping, isn't this person Ping Huaining? But shouldn't he be locked up in a prison at this time? Why did he come to Jiangnan?

The black robe looked peaceful, looked at Zuo Qiu Ning with a blank expression, took out something from his arms, and put it in front of him.

When Zuo Chuning saw things clearly, the doubts in his heart were easily solved.

Xiong Yitong looked at the fat man, and both of them sighed, their expressions uncertain.

It was a brass token with only two big words on it - Deterrence!

It turned out that he was recruited!

After the murder of Zhang Hongwen and his wife, the imperial court was unable to track down the murderer, which caused the civil and military officials to be cold.

"As for your father's purpose for letting you come to Jiangnan, the Xing family's father and son know better than we know, I was only entrusted by Li Zigan to protect you, and it has nothing to do with your father and the military department. The black robe then explained to Zuo Chuning.

Zuo Qiu Ning suddenly realized that his mood was settled, but he was not sure whether this person was the rumored Pingjia demon seed in the rivers and lakes, so he asked: "You followed me all the way to Jiangnan......?"

"Yes. ”

Before Zuo Chuning finished speaking, the black robe nodded directly in response, and raised a hand to signal Zuo Chuning to be silent, looking at the door of the lobby of Manxiang Building.

After a while, everyone heard a carriage stalling outside the door, and a thin young man in simple clothes walked briskly into the lobby and came straight to the group.

Under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the fat man's side, first bowed to the fat man and Xiong Yitong and saluted with fists, then looked at Ping Huaining and Zuo Qiu Ning, and asked respectfully: "The villain is the manager of the Xing family, dare to ask which one is the son of the Zuo Qiu family?"

Zuo Qiu Ningxin said why it was so untimely, and responded: "I just, isn't there still an hour before the banquet?"

The steward replied respectfully: "Before the banquet of the young master of my family, there are some important matters to discuss with the prince of Zuoqiu, and I specially asked the villain to invite the prince to move to the cold house." ”

"Am I the only one?"

"The young master of my family has an appointment with Lord Zuoqiu in advance, and only let the son be invited alone. ”

"Then please wait a moment, brother, I have some important matters to discuss with your friends. Zuo Chuning was a little displeased, and said patiently.

"Well said, well said. The steward replied respectfully, but the man stood still and did not move, as if he was going to make the dog skin plaster stick to the side.

This made Zuo Chuning irritable, this person was standing here, how could everyone talk?

The fat man glanced at the steward and wanted to speak, but Xiong Yitong took the lead and said coldly: "Get out and wait." ”
