Near noon, Xiong Yitong and Han Bazhi finally rode back.

The two of them ran one after another, and the horses under their crotches were already overwhelmed, especially the horse carrying Han Bazhi, which was almost only out of breath when it was tied to the wine stall, and the servants of the Zuoqiu family were busy feeding the poor horse water and rinsing his nose.

Han Bazhi didn't care at all, and looked nervously as soon as he got off the horse. The servant's eyes were sharp, and when he saw this, he said, "My young lady is resting in the carriage."

The fat man immediately smiled, strode to Zuo Chuning's side, sat on the bench, grabbed the teapot on the table and poured tea into his mouth, and then looked at the untouched food on the table suspiciously, and after taking a closer look at Zuo Chuning, he said:

"What's the matter, I don't eat any food, don't worry, the old man of the Xing family doesn't know what to scruple about, no one in Xunzhou City knows that Xing Yiqing is dead, and it is estimated that he will not chase and kill him on the surface. ”

Zuo Chuning sighed softly, and the sorrow between his eyebrows did not diminish at all.

Xiong Yitong was also thirsty, but after seeing the fat man pouring water on the mouth of the teapot, he was disgusted, and motioned to the proprietress to bring another teapot.

It was almost noon, and the carriages and horses on the official road gradually increased, and at this time, several small tables in the wine stall were already full of guests, where were there any extra teapots, and the proprietress said angrily: "How can there be so many teapots, they will be used." ”

Xiong Yitong bit his chapped lip and looked at the fat man coldly, and his anger was about to flare up.

At this time, Fang Huyuan came with a freshly made crutch, and lowered his head and said that there was a clean kettle on the carriage, and if Miss Xiong did not dislike it, she would go and fetch her some tea.

Xiong Yitong nodded, glanced at the crutches in Fang Yuan's hand, and made it very finely, and said to Zuo Chuning: "Your horseman is really caring." ”

Fang Huyuan looked embarrassed, couldn't explain anything, put down his crutches and went back to the carriage to look for the kettle.

The fat man knew that he had done something wrong again, so he didn't dare to talk to Xiong Yitong, and he didn't look like he wanted to talk when he saw Zuo Chuning, so he had to pull Ping Huaining, who was on crutches and closed his eyes to recuperate, saying that he had two drinks together.

After Zhiping Huaining sat down, he told the fat man very seriously that he had quit drinking.

The fat man sighed, and even said that it was boring, and drank alone with the beef that no one moved on the table.

Xiong Yitong looked at Ping Huaining's complacent appearance, a little displeased, and said angrily: "As you said, Xunzhou City almost made a fuss last night, and all the martial artists in Jiangnan are saying that Xing Zhengyu is old and sparse and has lost the face of Jiangnan martial arts, but no one knows about Xing Yiqing's death, and they don't know what Xing Zhengyu is doing." ”

Ping Huaining hummed lightly, and stopped talking.

The corners of Xiong Yitong's mouth rose, and he smiled very charmingly, and asked, "You want to ask Guan Zhixian, right?"

He nodded helplessly.

Xiong Yitong smiled brighter and said, "I don't know." ”

Ping Huaining hummed lightly again, didn't ask, looked at Zuo Qiu Ning and said: "Eat something, even if no one in Xingfu is chasing and killing, we can't take the official road all the way back to Beijing, after this store, I'm afraid that there will be no serious food." ”

"You ......"

Xiong Yitong wanted to sell a pass, but unexpectedly, Ping Huaining was puzzled, and he was annoyed for a while, and he couldn't speak.

Zuo Chuning was a little puzzled, he had been sitting for a long time at this time, and he was indeed a little hungry, so he lowered his head and ate a mouthful of rice, and then asked, "Why don't you take the official road?"

The fat man chewed the beef in his mouth and muttered: "Don't be stupid, if the Xing family doesn't chase and kill you, the court won't be able to do it, although the official position of the commander of the Wuwei is not high, but after all, he directly obeys the orders of the Son of Heaven, and the people who want to change all this, on the way back to Beijing, it is their last chance." ”

Zuo Qiu Ning was stunned, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, pulled two more mouthfuls of rice, and thought: It turns out that my life is so important now.

While eating, he asked, "Then Brother Bazhi and Miss Xiong also want to go back to Beijing together?"

The fat man laughed and said, "That's not it, this time I made a big fuss in Xingfu, but I almost finished offending Jiangnan Martial Dao, and Huixing Yitang is estimated to be scolded to death by the family teacher, so I can only go back to Beijing with you." ”

Xiong Yitong watched the two of them mumble while eating, without the slightest elegance, with a look of disgust, just nodded his head and did not answer.

"Han Bazhi, do you still have the face to come back?"

The familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears, and the fat man suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

As soon as everyone turned their heads, it was Zuoqiu Moshu, who seemed to have been woken up by Fang Huyuan when he was looking for a kettle.

Fang Huyuan shrunk his head and stood aside, and after giving the fat man an apologetic look, he ran quickly with the kettle to fetch water.

Estimating that it was because he had just woken up, Zuoqiu Moshu turned crimson, sat down beside Zuo Chuning angrily, pouted and complained: "You promise that my brother can come out of Xing Mansion safely, talking nonsense." ”

The fat man looked at Mo Shu's delicate cheeks, his heart was drunk, he swallowed his saliva, and muttered, "You can't blame me for this." ”

"Yes, it was me who acted too sloppily and annoyed Guan Zhixian, no wonder Brother Bazhi, don't blame him. "Zuo Chuning cleared the siege.

Zuoqiu Mo Shujiao snorted, still a little dissatisfied, but she didn't blame Han Bazhi anymore, and whispered that she was a little hungry, and Zuo Qiu Ning hurriedly asked the servants to order more food.

After Zuoqiu Moshu sat down, Xiong Yitong's face looked much better, and after eating some white rice with everyone, he asked about what happened when Zuo Qiu Ning was in Xingfu yesterday.

Zuo Qiu Ning wiped his mouth, and after thinking about it carefully, he recounted what happened yesterday one by one, but he was afraid that Zuo Qiu Moshu was present, and the transaction between Zuo Qiu Anyuan and the Xing family was vague.

After Xiong Yitong heard that Zuo Qiu Ning mistook Guan Zhixian for a maid, he raised his willow eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Zuoqiu Moshu was thrilled when she heard it, and angrily scolded Guan Zhixian for not being a good person, and the fat man comforted and said that everything in the rivers and lakes is like this, kung fu is high, and it is common to kill one or two people, but he was slapped in the eye again.

Ping Huaining listened to Zuo Qiu Ning's eloquent words, looking helpless and a little unbearable, and just sighed softly after listening.

Xiong Yitong noticed Ping Huaining's strange appearance, glanced at him, and said, "I told you a long time ago that woman is vicious, and you still protect it as a treasure." ”

Ping Huaining was speechless.

When she left Xing's mansion yesterday, Guan Zhixian's crazy appearance made Zuo Qiu Ning a little afraid, and asked softly: "Brother Huaining and Guan Zhixian were married before?"

But as soon as the words came out, I regretted a little, knowing that it was really inappropriate to blatantly inquire about private secrets.

Zuoqiu Moshu immediately became excited when she heard this, and craned her neck to wait to hear the story. The fat man didn't expect Zuo Chuning to be speechless, his face was a little embarrassed for his brother, but he was also a little curious, and turned his head to look at Ping Huaining.

Xiong Yitong tilted his head away, as if he didn't want to know the answer.

Ping Huaining looked at everyone's appearance, his face was as usual, and he couldn't see whether this matter was taboo, he shook his head and replied softly: "No, I was reckless and aggressive when I was younger, and the whole family hated me. ”

"Later, I met the father and daughter of the Guan family who were in the middle of the road, took care of me a lot, and spent a lot of time with them, and later, the father of the Guan family was chased and killed by the enemy, and entrusted me to take good care of Zhixian before he died, that's all. ”

"What, it's the same as if I didn't say it. Zuoqiu Moshu is still unfinished.

Zuo Qiu Ning couldn't hold his face when he heard this, and immediately asked his sister to shut up, Zuo Qiu Mo Shu snorted, and said angrily: "You didn't ask yet?"

Zuo Chuning looked embarrassed.

Seeing that Ping Huaining had no taboos about the past, the fat man immediately flattered Zuoqiu Moshu and said, "I know the specific things." ”

Zuoqiu Moshu disagreed: "Then you say it." ”

The fat man first exchanged glances with Huaining, and then said slowly: "Back then, after the death of the Guan family's father, the Central Plains Demon Sword appeared, and before the Guan family was lonely, it was a famous weapon forging family in the martial arts......

Xiong Yitong didn't know when he was going to talk about the fat man's appearance, so he picked up Si Han, who had been at his feet, and said, "Okay, I'm also full of food and drink, hurry up and leave Xunzhou, Xing Zhengyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Zuo Chuning was shocked when he heard Xing Zhengyu's name, and echoed in a loud voice, letting the servant help him stand up.

Miss Zuoqiu Moshu had a temper and was naturally a little unhappy.

The fat man woke up when he heard this, and he was also afraid of Xing Zhengyu, but he was still happy, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he stood up and smiled with Zuoqiu Moshu: "On the way, I said that the starling brother will tell you slowly, go first, go first." ”

Zuo Qiu Moshu pouted, and walked towards the carriage with the servants in his arms.

Ping Huaining and Han Bazhi followed behind Xiong Yitong, the three of them rode their horses, and everyone hurriedly left the wine stall.
