At the turn of the old days, the reunion of the rivers and lakes is a great thing in the world.

However, my heart was heavy, and I had no intention of enjoying this divine providence.

In the tavern, the three of us cleaned up the corpses of four golden soldiers. Lu You wanted to talk on the spot, but Li Xiaoqian was worried that these four golden soldiers would not be able to return for a long time, and he was afraid that more golden soldiers would be attracted.

Lu You nodded and praised Li Xiaoqian for being thoughtful, giving the shopkeeper a large ingot of gold, and asking him to escape with his family quickly. Then, the four of us left Kaifeng Mansion overnight.

The homeland of the Great Song Dynasty under the rule of the Jin people is far more miserable than we imagined. Hungry homeless people can be seen everywhere along the ancient wilderness road in the middle of the night, looking up at the stars in despair, as if waiting for death to come soon.

Lu You said that what these people hated most was not the cruelty of the Jin people, but the abandonment of the Great Song Dynasty.

Bai Jingxing poured a few sips of wine and sighed: "The mountains and rivers are broken, my compatriots are in trouble, even if I am the leader of the martial arts alliance, I can only take this martial arts to protect myself and survive, is this world really so cruel?"

At night, it was even deeper, and Bai Jingxing was a little drunk. He didn't want to hurry anymore, so he simply found a dilapidated hut by the roadside to rest.

Outside the thatched hut, the stars and moon are in the sky, and the night is deep. The bonfire burst into a "crackling" sound, intertwined with the snoring of Bai Jingxing in the thatched hut into a strange sound. I couldn't bear the torment of all kinds of doubts in my heart anymore, so I simply asked Lu You: "You really didn't kill Yuanxin?"

Lu You's expression was serious and angry, and he said: "The big husband dares to act boldly, not to mention that I won't kill good people in vain, even if I do, I won't deny it." ”

His tone was firm and his words were so convincing that I couldn't argue with them.

I asked again: "Why are you so powerful in martial arts, but you didn't miss your skills at the Shaoxing Inn at that time?"

Lu You replied: "My sword is used to kill gold thieves, and I will never attack the Song people unless I have to." ”

I asked again, "Do you know a woman named Satsuki?"

"Xiaoyue?" Lu You touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "I've never heard of it." ”

I said, "She will also make the Lu family swordsmanship." ”

Lu You said firmly: "This is absolutely impossible! My uncle's self-created Lu family swordsmanship has only been passed on to me. In this world, apart from me and my uncle, there is absolutely no third person who can master the Lu family's swordsmanship!"

It's a huge mystery. Although I knew that Yuan Xin died under the Lu family's swordsmanship, I still don't know who killed Yuan Xin, and I don't know why the man in black who killed Yuan Xin recognized me.

These doubts are like a ball of intertwined threads, and although I have found the threads, I still can't untie the dead knots that are kneaded together.

Li Xiaoqian walked out of the hut, he walked slowly with his hands behind his back, looking calm and relaxed, as if he had never taken Yuanxin's death to heart.

That's his uncle!

Li Xiaoqian's expression changed abruptly, like a naughty child, he took out a gilded wine gourd from his back, shook it in his hand, and said, "I stole the old man's wine, do you want to taste it?"

I suddenly thought of the Drunken Dream Death Pill, my stomach churned, and I waved my hand again and again and said, "I won't drink it if I am killed!"

Lu You glanced at the thatched hut, his face was embarrassed, and said, "I'm afraid it's disrespectful!"

Li Xiaoqian found a few broken bowls out of nowhere, took them out from behind him, sat down leisurely, and said, "What are you afraid of, Old Man Bai has a winemaking workshop in his stomach, and this wine is not bad." ”

I added, "yes, he pulls that makes wine!"

Lu You's face was full of incredulity, and he shouted, "What?!, that...... Can you make sake too?!"

I asked, "Which one?"

Li Xiaoqian pushed me and said, "What's that? Why are you asking so much? Brother Lu You is a literati and a high-level intellectual, how can he be like you, open and close your mouth full of and urine?"

I said, "You are also a literati!"

Li Xiaoqian said: "I'm different, I'm a cultural hooligan!" He poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Lu You. Lu You hesitated, but still took it. Li Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Brother Lu You, I didn't expect your martial arts to be so powerful!

Lu You said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Li has won the award." ”

Li Xiaoqian poured another bowl of wine and stretched it out in front of me. The wine is clear, reflecting the moonlight in the sky, which makes it even brighter. But I don't want to drink it. No matter how tempting the wine looked, it inevitably reminded me of the wine-making bugs in Paik's stomach, and goosebumps would rage all over my body.

I waved my hand and said, "Don't drink!"

Li Xiaoqian glanced at me and said, "Don't drink and pull down." Save it for me and Brother Lu You to enjoy. ”

Lu You said: "It's disrespectful for us to taste a bowl, let's send this wine back to our seniors." ”

Li Xiaoqian took the bowl and touched the bowl in Lu You's hand and said, "Drink it first." Then he threw up his head and took a big sip, almost reaching the bottom of the bowl.

Lu You may have been infected by his arrogance in drinking, and he also drank it up.

I watched the two of them drink, and it felt like watching them take the drunken life dream death pill, and I only felt sick for a while, and I couldn't look at it directly.

Li Xiaoqian poured wine again and said, "Before this situation, Brother Lu You didn't want to recite a poem?"

I asked, "Why do you want to write obscene poems?"

Lu You spewed out a sip of wine with a "poof" and sprayed into the fire, and with a "boom" in the fire, the flames jumped half a foot higher. Lu You sipped the miserable wine from the corner of his mouth in a panic and said, "Rude, rude!"

Li Xiaoqian patted me on the head and said, "Dan Bing, you really have the potential of a person of our time!

I didn't understand what I was saying wrong, so I asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted Brother Lu You's lewd poem?"

Li Xiaoqian took a sip and said, "Phew, don't say you're my student when you go out!"

When did I become a student of Li Xiaoqian?!

I said, "I wasn't your student either. ”

Lu You changed the subject and said, "Aren't the two brothers with Master Yuantong, why did they come to Bianliang City?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "Master Yuantong sent us to Shaolin Temple to deal with some things. ”

Lu You said "oh" and said, "Is there anything you need from your brother?"

I suddenly thought that he was still seriously suspected of killing Yuan Xin, and I didn't want him to get involved in the affairs of the Shaolin Temple again, so I preemptively said: "No!"

Li Xiaoqian's face was displeased, and he said, "Don't do anything, don't do anything! Brother Lu You's kindness, how can you refuse so arbitrarily?!" He turned his head to look at Lu You, smiled hehehe, and said, "I don't know where Brother Lu You is going?"

Lu You sighed and said, "The scientific examination is imminent, and I am preparing to go to Lin'an Mansion to catch the examination." I wonder if I will be able to fulfill my mother's wish this time!"

Li Xiaoqian asked, "Your mother also let you take the civil service exam?"

What does it mean to be a civil servant?

Obviously, Lu You didn't understand either, and he asked puzzledly, "What is a civil servant?"

Li Xiaoqian smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh...... It's your imperial examination. In our place it is called a civil servant. Hehe......"

Lu You let out a long "oh", and then sighed: "It is my mother's expectation to gain fame in the examination. ”

Li Xiaoqian asked, "What do you think?"

Lu You said: "I don't dare to disobey my mother's order, it's just that this situation is ...... Even if you are an official, it is not interesting. ”

Li Xiaoqian said: "How do you say this?"

Lu You said: "Now that the government is controlled by traitorous ministers, the emperor is cowardly and incompetent, a large area of the country has been lost, and the people have suffered hardships, but they don't want to go north to restore the rivers and mountains, they just want to live in a corner of peace." Such a situation in the court...... What can you do even if you are an official?As you have seen along the way, what is the benefit of fame and fame for these suffering people?" His deep eyes were full of sorrow and unwillingness. He looked up and drank the wine from the bowl, which seemed to flow from his throat into his eye sockets, staggering in his sockets, reflecting the bright moonlight, flickering.

Suddenly, Lu You slammed the bowl in his hand with a "snap", and shouted: "It's better to let me immediately cross the knife, gallop to the field, rush to the gold thief's tent, and kill happily!"

His voice was loud, wandering between heaven and earth, full of pride and righteousness. I seemed to see a picture scroll, in which Lu You was wearing armor and holding a soft sword, he changed his body and slit the throat of the incoming Jin soldier.

A sword seals the throat, and there is no blood!

"Smack"!

A crisp sound came from the house, followed by Bai Jingxing's scolding: "Who the hell disturbed the old man's dream!"

Lu You, who had just brewed a face full of pride, panicked down like a frightened rabbit.

"Smack"!

There was another crisp sound, and Bai Jingxing scolded again: "Which rabbit cub stole the old man's wine?!"
