The red sun hangs in the west, and it is dusk, the spring cold has not dispersed, and the geese and sparrows return at dusk.

A bright golden afterglow shrouded the city, like a bloody remnant sun reflecting red clouds.

Before it was dark, lanterns had begun to hang in restaurants, flower houses and theaters.

The flaming red lantern, the fiery sunset, I don't know if the lantern reflects the red sunset, or the sunset reflects the red lantern. As far as the eye can see, it is full of fiery red, like a burning flame, so red that it is suffocating.

The sparkling blue water of the river reflects a dazzling scenery.

The rickety canopy boat rippled across the river, and a red lantern hung on the stern of the boat, swaying with the wind, like a fallen leaf floating on the water, gently swirling.

Bai Luoshang held the rest of the incense drunk, walked on the street step by step, and turned back drunk, only to see the smiling tourists on the street.

At night, it's always more lively than during the day.

Gently stroking the blue and white porcelain pot in his arms, like caressing a beautiful woman's face, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but eat and laugh. His hands were white and slender, like a weak willow in the wind, as soft as if they had no bones. Perhaps, his fingers are as intoxicated as his own. His fingers are soft, he is also soft, and he walks crookedly all the way.

Drinking with the county official is a pleasant thing for him, and drinking with Li Yuanzheng is also a pleasant thing for him. Bai Luoshang was drunk, but his mind was not confused. During the conversation with Li Yuanzheng, he knew that Li Yuanzheng was indeed hiding in the prison cell of the county government last night, and if he really went to rob the prisoner at that time, then they might not be able to get out of the cell so easily.

Fortunately, he didn't go to rob prisoners, fortunately, he didn't confront Li Yuanzheng head-on.

And the four watchmen and the heartbreaker who sang the guard that I met later last night obviously did not act together with Li Yuanzheng. In other words, the Broken Intestine Man will be waiting for him there, not to do things for the county government.

Since he is not doing things for the county government, what kind of thing did the heartbreaker do to appear on the way to stop Bai Luosheng?

The Broken Intestine and the Four Watchmen are both well-known killers in the rivers and lakes, since they are killers, they must be here to kill people, but the person they want to kill is obviously not in vain.

Since they didn't want to assassinate Bai Luosheng, then why did they stop Bai Luosheng's way, and what was their purpose in doing so?

Whatever their purpose was, it was never for the sake of inviting Bai Luoshang to drink.

In this Fengzhou City, who else needs to arrange two such powerful killers to attack at the same time?

There is also that old man, although Bai Luoshang doesn't know his identity yet, it can be seen that he must also be a killer who kills people for a living. The old man said before his death that they were doing things for their "master," so what kind of person was this "master" in their mouths? Why couldn't Bai Luosheng's identity be known by this "master"? Why did the heartbreakers hide from their "masters" even if they did not hesitate to kill their companions?

This series of questions is all questions that Bai Luoshang can't figure out for the time being. But at least one thing he knew was that the Disembowel-Breaker really wanted to invite him to drink. Because he knew how expensive that jar of wine was, so expensive that ordinary people didn't even dare to think about it.

That jar of wine, called "Xishan", is the Gujing tribute wine of Xidian, a small subordinate country of the Southern Xia Kingdom, to the Southern Xia every year.

Since it is a tribute wine, it is naturally precious and very rare.

If you weren't a member of the Southern Xia royal family, how could you have the opportunity to get this wine?

It is precisely because of this that Bai Luoshang is even more interested in the disembowel-breaking man.

Is that disembowelment man really just a mysterious charlatan killer?

Bai Luoshang held the blue and white porcelain pot in both hands, as if holding a beloved woman, and suddenly ate and laughed.

What is he laughing at?

Of course he laughed because he was happy.

What is he happy about?

He was happy because of his good fortune, of course.

He likes wine, so he meets someone who invites him to drink good wine for free, and is there anyone who has better luck than his?

He said that he envied Duan Nanshan, because there would always be many people who invited Duan Nanshan to drink. In fact, there are more people who ask Bai Luoshang to drink. Just like here, Lin Anwei has a whole cellar of wine waiting for him to drink, yesterday there was a mysterious person like the Broken Intestine Man who invited him to drink, and today even Li Yuanzheng and the county officials of this county invited him to drink, could it be said that his luck will be worse than Duan Nanshan?

Of course, his luck is not as bad as Duan Nanshan, maybe it is better than Duan Nanshan.

Thinking like this, Bai Luoshang laughed even more happily.

"When are you going to follow?" Bai Luoshang said in a low voice while stroking the wine jug, with a shallow smile in his voice, "Since you're here, why don't you squeak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him: "Squeak." ”

Bai Luoshang turned his head suddenly, stared at the visitor with a look of surprise, and said in surprise: "Could it be that there is something wrong with my ears?" Dao Chief, did you do something just now? Or you squeak for me again." ”

Duan Nanshan stared at him, expressionless, silent. The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on his face, staining it with a thin layer of carmine. A little cinnabar, in the afterglow of the setting sun, shines brightly.

Bai Luoshang has never understood why such a good-looking person was born with a frosty and snowy face?

"You followed me all the way, don't you have something to say to me?" Bai Luoshang sighed.

Duan Nanshan still didn't speak.

Bai Luoshang shook his head, and sighed again: "If it's not that you are looking for me, then it must be the one behind you who is looking for me, right?"

As he spoke, Bai Luoshang tilted his head, looked at the woman standing behind Duan Nanshan, and looked at it for a long time before he wondered: "This girl makes Zai Xia feel familiar, where have we met?"

The woman smiled slightly at Bai Luosheng and said, "Childe thinks he has seen it, so he has seen it." ”

This answer was very strange, but Bai Luoshang didn't feel strange at all, after listening to the woman's answer, he just smiled and said, "The girl's voice also makes Zai Xia feel familiar." ”

The woman lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice, "I think I have never met my son." ”

Bai Luoshang said: "How is it possible? Just now I was in Yuqiongzhai and listened to the girl playing the pipa and singing music. ”

The woman hugged the pipa in her arms tightly, and suddenly raised her head, her godless eyes staring straight at Bai Luosheng.

Knowing that it is a pair of eyes that can't see anything, but when the four eyes meet, people have the illusion of being seen through.

"How, how?" Bai Luoshang looked at the woman's eyes in embarrassment, and stood aside with some weakness.

He was really frightened by these eyes, he never knew that the eyes of a blind man would look so frightening.

She couldn't see anything, but she seemed to be able to see through those broken eyes, what others couldn't. But Bai Luoshang knew that this woman did not look at people through those broken eyes, but through the hidden heart.

"This is the friend of Daoist Ziyun?" the woman suddenly tilted her head and asked Duan Nanshan.

"Yes. Duan Nanshan replied.

The woman looked at Bai Luoshang, and even though she didn't see anything, she still stubbornly looked at Bai Luoshang with those dull eyes.

After a long time, she slowly withdrew her eyes, closed them, and said, "I have long heard that this son is handsome and has an extraordinary appearance, but unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to witness this son's demeanor for a while." ”

Bai Luoshang said movingly: "Does the girl recognize me?"

"I don't know it, but I do know who Childe is. The woman said, "But I don't understand why Childe is still drinking so happily at this moment." ”

"How does the girl know that she has drunk?"

"Because when Childe speaks, there is a smell of wine on his face. ”

Bai Luoshang laughed and said, "The girl is so sure that the aroma of wine you smell comes from the lower mouth? Fengzhou is a famous flower and wine city, and the fragrance of this wine may come from the restaurant, or from the river." Even if I don't speak, I can smell the smell of wine in my face, how can the girl be sure that I am drinking?"

The woman smiled: "Although there is the fragrance of wine everywhere here, the fragrance and drunkenness of Yusheng Lou are not everywhere. It just so happened that I smelled this wine fragrance in Yuqiongzhai just now. ”

"The girl's nose is really smart. ”

"If you can't see with your eyes, your nose is more sensitive. The woman said: "Although Childe's steps are light, they are light and heavy, presumably Childe is a little drunk." ”

Bai Luoshang patted the wine jug, her eyes were three points drunk, and said: "The girl not only has a sensitive nose, but even her ears are more sensitive than others. ”

"The fragrance is mellow and elegant, pure as an orchid, it can be said to be a real golden wave jade liquid, no one can resist its temptation, and anyone can't help but want to drink it. The woman said, "It's just that the son is good at drinking, but he shouldn't drink at this time." ”

Bai Luoshang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I shouldn't drink now?"

"No, it shouldn't. ”

"Why not?"

The woman bent her eyes and said half-truthfully: "Isn't Childe afraid that Guard Li will bring someone to get you?"

Bai Luoshang touched his nose and asked, "Why did he bring someone to get me?"

"Because of a thousand taels of gold. ”

Bai Luoshang looked at the woman silently, and only then did she murmur, "Li Huwei is not a person who loves money. ”

The woman shook her head and said, "But the county master is a man who loves money like his life, a wolf official and a rat official, how can Li Huwei not come to take you for others." ”

Wolf officer rat officer?

Bai Luoshang couldn't help but look at the blind woman in front of her again.

is just four words, and you can already see the hatred and contempt of the woman in front of her for the government. But I don't know if this kind of resentment and contempt is aimed at the half-stupid county official himself, or against the entire imperial court system.

"Although the county magistrate loves money, he doesn't look like a person who loves money as much as his life. Bai Luoshang said.

"Doesn't Childe know how to look at people with his eyes, and he will look away?" the woman smiled lightly, "I don't think Childe is a person who completely believes in eyes. ”

Bai Luoshang smiled, retracted his gaze, and said no more.

The woman turned her head and said to Duan Nanshan: "Since the Taoist has found a friend, then I will leave first." ”

Duan Nanshan nodded.

"Childe, I'll go first. The woman also said goodbye to Bai Luosheng.

Although the woman is blind, she walks steadily, and is as dexterous as a normal person. There is no need for people to support them, nor does they need passers-by to avoid them, such as sailing along the river, and in a moment, they have disappeared into the crowd of people coming and going.

Seeing the woman walking away, Bai Luoshang turned around, "It's getting cold, do you want to have a drink?"

The smell of wine that was so strong that it couldn't be dissolved also aroused Duan Nanshan's drinking, so he nodded obediently and said, "It's interesting for three people to drink." ”

Bai Luoshang's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The Taoist really understands me." ”
