Lu Yincong and Ruan Xizhi were both surprised when they saw the red horse crossing the river. No matter how wide the river is, if it is carried away by this red horse as a flat land, it will only be a matter of time and quiet. After crossing the river, the horse set up the avenue, and in an instant it had run more than 20 miles.

Suddenly, there was a heavy fog, the air seemed to be dizzy with heavy water vapor, and after more than 40 miles, the two arrived at a small county town, and the city gate said "Qingshui County". Entering the county seat, there are still sparse pedestrians and vendors on the long street. In a mist, I saw two small and delicate lanterns shooting a gentle and clear light, which was in front of a large inn, and the inn was called: Furong Inn.

Lu Yincong said: "Let's rest here, the Ming Dynasty will rush again, and it will not be so fast for Zhang Tianqian to cross the river!" The two entered the inn, only to see that although the front hall of the inn was brightly lit, there were few people, and the guests had obviously gone upstairs to rest. A junior second person stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Do you two eat or stay in the hotel?" Lu Yincong waved his hand, and the two walked straight to the shopkeeper, who was a Sven man in his forties, who was fiddling with his abacus at the moment, carefully counting the money he earned in a day. Lu Yincong asked: "Boss, do you have a stable here?" The shopkeeper raised his eyes and smiled: "Yes, there is one in the backyard!" Yin Cong said: "Please tie the red horse outside my door." The shopkeeper hurriedly beckoned Xiao Er to tie the red horse to the backyard. Yin Cong said again: "The two of us want two rooms. Remember, no matter who asks, don't say they've seen the two of us, or the red horse. The boss agreed repeatedly, and Lu Yincong took out a gemstone ring from those jewels, put it on the counter, and said, "This is for you, please keep your promise." Otherwise, whatever happens to us, I'll be the first to greet the boss. ”

The boss was a greedy man for money, and he was already overjoyed when he saw such a gemstone ring; not to mention that he saw that the man in front of him was heroic and awe-inspiring, not like an idle person, and he said that if something happened to them, he would come to "greet" him, then this was obviously teaching himself to go around without eating, and how could he dare to say more! Immediately, he hurriedly smiled and said: "No, no! Please rest assured!"

Xi Zhi and Yin Cong went upstairs, Xi Zhi looked at Yin Cong, and suddenly remembered what Lu Yin Cong asked her fiancé before. Her eyebrows frowned slightly, and a wisp of sorrow spread across her chest. Thinking of Lu Yincong saying that he wanted to drink tonight, Xi Zhi thought about it, I wonder if he still has Yaxing now?

Xi Zhi was about to ask Yin Cong if she wanted to drink, but she saw Lu Yincong looking at her, stunned, and looked like she wanted to speak and stopped. After a while, he smiled indifferently and said, "Miss Ruan, tonight is too unusual! You are tired, go back to the room to rest." After speaking, he didn't look at Xi Zhi again, turned around and strode back to the room.

Xi Zhi sighed and frowned and returned to the room. After a while, the inn was about to close, when suddenly a man burst through the door, holding a soaking wet woman in his arms. These two are not Qiao Luo cowardly and Lianyu, and who are they!

I only heard that Qiao Luo timidly asked: "Is there a stable here?" The shopkeeper said: "Yes, it's in the backyard!" Qiao Luo said timidly: "You quickly tie up the red horse outside my door, don't mention to anyone that you have seen this horse!" The shopkeeper agreed repeatedly, beckoning Xiao Er to tie the horse, and was greatly surprised how this person spoke the same as the man in front of him. Qiao Luo said timidly: "Give us two rooms, don't tell others that you have seen the two of us." The shopkeeper had a difficult face and said, "Uncle can't help it, we only have one room left here." Qiao Luo was afraid that something would happen to Lianyu, and he didn't want to delay any longer, so he said: "One by one, now hurry up and find me a Langzhong!"

The shopkeeper said, "Okay, please pay for the room, fifty yuan for one room." That Qiao Luo suddenly remembered that the money was in his coat, which was wrapped in a soaked jade. He gently put Lianyu on the ground and reached into his coat to touch the money, but as soon as he took it out, he found that the money was soaked and tattered, and it looked like it was useless. He secretly screamed bitterly, thinking that if he had no money, he would definitely not be able to live in this inn, but Lianyu couldn't delay, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

After a while, he picked up Lianyu and said to the shopkeeper, "Money, I'll pay you before I leave, I can't miss you! But if you tell us, my sword is not a vegetarian!" The shopkeeper saw that this man seemed to have no money, but when he came like this, he had to agree, and did not dare to say more than half a word.

Qiao Luo timidly carried Lianyu upstairs, and the shopkeeper went to find Lang Zhong. But it was said that this Ruan Xizhi was facing a screen in the middle of the room, half a lamp and candle, and the loneliness in her heart suddenly appeared. When she thought of Lianyu not knowing whether she was alive or dead now, she couldn't help but feel heartache, and in an instant, the candle flame in her eyes flickered faintly, and she wept sadly, and the pear blossoms brought rain.

Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door, Xi Zhi thought it was Xiao Er, who was delivering tea, and opened the door, but saw Lu Yincong standing outside the door.

When Xi Zhi saw him, although she was very embarrassed by the way she cried, her heart was a little calm, as if a warm current was surging into her heart. Lu Yincong saw Xi Zhi crying, and his heart was anxious, and he hurriedly asked, "Miss Ruan, what's wrong with you?" Xi Zhi wiped away her tears and said lightly: "It's nothing." Yin Cong thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood why Xizhi was crying. He said: "Miss Ruan, don't worry, when we return to Huguang, we will quickly whip up and save Miss Pian Yu out." Xi Zhi nodded, looked at Lu Yincong gratefully and said, "I'll take care of it." ”

Lu Yincong looked at Ruan Xizhi and said, "Girl, it's okay, let's go outside together!" She said softly: "Okay, I'll accompany Brother Lu to the wine shop to sit down and drink some wine!" Lu Yincong smiled: "This is very good." The two of them left the inn. I saw that the fog was all over, and the shops on the long street had already lit up lanterns, and scattered lights were blurred, like a little starlight in the sky.

The two went to a small wine shop to sit down, and there were many people in the wine shop, which was quite lively. Yin Cong ordered a pot of wine, the bartender put on two small glasses, Yin Cong asked him to remove the small glass in front of Xi Zhi, the man was just about to take it, but saw Xi Zhi holding the wine glass, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said angrily: "Hey, you are really! Can't I drink it?" Xi Zhi chuckled: "Brother Lu looks down on me, doesn't he?" After that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and the wine entered his mouth, how could it be spicy? Lu Yincong shouted: "What a straightforward Ruan girl! "I also drank the wine in the cup. Xi Zhi laughed and said: "Do you think that I am delicate and weak, and you think that I am a Jiuqu heart? That's wrong! What I Ruan Xizhi yearns for the most is you heroes and heroes, I treat people and things, and I always learn from you, and I just like you heroes!" After that, he poured himself a glass of wine.

Yin Cong saw that Zhizhi's cheeks were like Yaochi Qingyue, and a layer of scarlet clouds were crouded in them, and in addition to being pure, they were even more delicate; Ruan Xizhi said: "Brother Lu, I haven't drunk alcohol before, but I didn't expect that, hehe, I won't be able to enjoy this wine in this life! Then he drank a full glass of wine.

Lu Yincong wondered why she said that she couldn't enjoy the taste of wine in this life, and was about to ask, but she heard Xizhi shout: "Brother Lu, you are injured, can you still drink?" Lu Yincong smiled slightly: "The injury is out of the way." But I don't know what the girl said that she can't enjoy the taste of wine in this life, what does this mean?" Xizhi sighed bitterly, shook her head, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Lu's injury is out of the way, this is really good, then let's have a good drink tonight." ”

Yin Cong smiled and said, "When we were in the reeds just now, how could we have thought that we could sit in this tavern and drink wine tonight!" Xi Zhi shook her head and said, "I also suspect that it was a dream!" and said: "But I don't know how Zhang Tianqian knew that it was the two of us who were around there?" Lu Yin Cong smiled: "He may not guess." "How did these two know that Zhang Tianqian realized that the root cause of the two of them in that vicinity was actually the hair of their precious red horse that fell in that house!

The two pushed the cups and changed the glasses, but they didn't realize that a pot of wine had been drunk, and Xi Zhi said: "Bartender, two more pots of wine!" Yin Cong said worriedly: "Miss Ruan, you haven't drunk alcohol, what if you get drunk all of a sudden?" Xi Zhi smiled lightly: "Brother Lu, I'm here to get drunk with you tonight." Lu Yincong smiled: "Okay, but you are not allowed to get drunk." Xi Zhi said: "I'm very good, how can I get drunk?" Xi Zhi only felt that the wine was in her stomach, warm, and her heart was happy for a while, and she approached Lu Yincong and whispered: "Brother Lu, can I ask something?" Lu Yincong also pretended to be cautious, and also said softly in a low voice: "The girl asks." Xi Zhi lowered her voice and asked, "How many masters are there in your club?" Hehe, if Brother Lu blames me for not speaking deeply, then you don't have to answer me. ”

Lu Yincong saw that Xizhi was interested in the affairs of the Hui Haihui, and he was quite hesitant in his heart, mainly because he didn't want to talk to her in this public wine shop where everyone could come. But he thought that Xizhi was his benefactor, and there were many people in this wine shop, and others couldn't hear him when he spoke in a low voice, so Lu Yincong changed his mind and wanted to talk to Xizhi about some things in the sea meeting.

He lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's okay to tell the girl! He smiled lightly and said, "If the girl wants to know anything, I can tell the girl." There are a lot of people in the wine shop, and no one notices the two of us if I make a small voice, so it's okay. ”

Xi Zhi saw that he was willing to tell himself about the Haihui meeting, obviously he didn't have any speculations about himself, but he really treated him with sincerity, and he couldn't help but be moved. Xi Zhi smiled in a low voice and asked, "Then who has the best relationship with General Lu Er?" Lu Yincong said: "The one who has the best relationship with me is my sixth brother." The number of martial arts paths between the two of us is also about the same, I use a stick, and he uses a gun. Lu Yincong saw that Xi Zhi was really interested in the affairs of the Huihai Society, so he wanted to please her, so he smiled and said, "I'll tell the girl slowly! Xi Zhi supported her hand, smiled, and said, "Please come on." ”

Lu Yincong said softly: "In the meeting, the seats are not determined according to the level of martial arts and age, but according to the order of entering the meeting, and the contributions made by the gang will be arranged. For example, the fifth brother Xiao Yisun, he entered the meeting relatively late, but he made countless contributions in large and small battles, and he was righteous and righteous, so everyone obeyed him, so he was allowed to sit in the fifth position. The starling brother Liu Guangzhi and the thirteenth brother Liu Guangao are brothers, and they are never separated when they fight into battle; the fourth brother Song Wenxuan is a military advisor, and the fourth sister-in-law who ranks twelfth is husband and wife. Xi Zhi smiled: "Since you call her the fourth sister-in-law, of course I know that she and your fourth brother are husband and wife, this is a joke again." Is Brother Lu's fourth sister-in-law the only woman in your association? What is her name?" Lu Yincong said: "The fourth sister-in-law is the only woman, her surname is Ren, but her maiden name, how dare I call it without permission!" Ruan Xizhi smiled awkwardly and said, "I said the wrong thing, punish myself with a glass!"

Lu Yincong continued: "The sixth brother's name is Yin Zhengli, and his marksmanship is very good. The seventh brother Zhao Rong and the eleventh brother Zhao Xiaoyan are fellow villagers, and although the two are fellow villagers, their temperaments are very different! The seventh brother has always had a strategy, and he is also a military advisor of our association. Lu Yincong took a sip of wine, and then said: "My ninth brother Meng Ling is more anxious, and he has a good relationship with me. The third brother Huo Taifeng, you must already know, is the person who walked with me on the Xin'an River that day, he is the general of the humerus of the meeting, and he came immediately when the meeting was held. There is also a general, three years older than me, I should call him brother, but he has just entered the meeting, and he has not yet scheduled his seat, but this time on Mount Emei, I saw him come to save me!" ”

Lu Yincong let out an "oh" and sighed: "How can I repay the kindness of the Yilong Gang!" Xi Zhi also sighed lightly: "The Yilong Gang has helped us a lot this time, but we can't answer immediately!" Lu Yincong said: "When we return to Huguang, we will definitely combine the grievances and grievances of Sichuan!"

Xi Zhi said: "Just now Brother Lu said that Third Brother Huo came when your association was just established, so how long has your association been established?" Lu Yincong said: "It's been fifteen years. Xi Zhi said: "It's been so long, and I had your meeting when I was two years old." Yin Cong said: "In this way, when I was five years old, our association was established. Xi Zhi smiled and said: "I don't shout the word 'Brother Lu' less, why do you still talk about your age? Do you like to be old and become an old grandfather soon?" Lu Yincong heard this and laughed: "Miss Ruan's mouth is so powerful, but I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore." ”

The two drank a few more glasses to each other, Xi Zhi was a little drunk, she stared at Lu Yincong with a light smile, and said, "Just now, Brother Lu said that there will be fourteen generals in your meeting, but if you count Brother Lu himself, he only said thirteen. Then the remaining one, why didn't Brother Lu say it? This person is still your boss. ”

Lu Yincong said: "Our general leader Lu Yusi is my father. Xizhi once heard Zhang Gui say the name of Lu Yincong's father, Lu Yusi, and she didn't feel anything at this time. She was a little drunk, and her speech was not deep, so she asked coldly: "What is that Zhang Gui arresting you for?" The reason for this seems to be very complicated!" Lu Yincong listened, smiled lightly, and said to Xi Zhi: "Miss Ruan, the stakes are very high, and it has nothing to do with you, but this can't be said to be with you." Xi Zhi listened, Fang knew that she had just spoken too much, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I said the wrong thing, I'm too sorry for you, I have to punish myself with a glass!"

Yin Cong saw that Xi Zhi's face was flushed, her cheeks were like blooming pink begonias, and her smile was reflected in his eyes, as if she had thrown stones into the quiet pool at the bottom of his heart, and she was dizzy. Lu Yincong smiled, gently pressed the wine jug with his hand, and sighed: "I didn't expect Miss Ruan to drink so well, tonight's wine, I lost." ”

Xi Zhi knew in her heart that Lu Yincong was letting her, so she groaned: "How many times can there be in ninety years? Message to Dongyang Gu Wine Market, fight to get drunk, and now he is happy to tears. Haha, if you don't get drunk tonight, you really live up to this dream-like good time, like a good day. ”

Suddenly, a refreshing cool breeze came slowly outside the door, and a clear rain actually landed on the world at this time. Xi Zhi looked at the rain outside the door through the people in the wine shop, and the oblique rain silk was woven into a rain curtain, and the light of the lantern at the door of the wine store was blurred, forming countless shining circles of light. When the people in the liquor store saw that it was raining outside, they all paid and left, and the liquor shop slowly emptied. Seeing that there were fewer people, Xi Zhi suddenly felt empty and depressed, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little sad. She sighed: "Madame has her own beautiful son, why is Sun sad?"

Xi Zhi filled Yin Cong's and her cup with wine, she raised her glass, watched the wine gently rotate in the cup, reflecting the glow of the lights in the wine shop, she smiled indifferently and said, "I'll do it first for respect." When he was about to raise his head and drink it all, he felt a hand on the back of his hand, and a warm stream surged up from the back of his hand. Xi Zhi knew that this was because Lu Yincong didn't want her to drink anymore, not to mention, being held by the hand of such a person with superb kung fu, not to mention that she was a little woman, even few people in the world could break free. Xi Zhi sighed and slowly lowered her glass.

I only heard Lu Yincong say: "Miss Ruan, the poem you just chanted is full of sorrow, but why is this? Isn't it that you are still worried about Miss Pitian? Or ......" He took a deep breath and said: "Or are you still upset about your fiancé, the Lu Gongzi with the same name as me?" Lu Yincong continued: "Before I crossed the river, I want to hear what kind of person that Lu Gongzi is, now, can Miss Ruan tell me?" His eyes lit up, as if there were waves of water flowing in his eyes.

Xi Zhi was half drunk and half awake, thinking to herself that she had already shared so many hardships with Brother Lu, so it would be better to tell him about her own affairs this time. She took a long breath, a pair of apricot eyes flowed, like half a glass of autumn water, and she said softly: "My fiancé is named Lu Yincong." His hidden character is the hidden of Yin, which is different from Brother Lu's Yin surname. He and I were destined by my parents, and even though we were engaged, we never met. At that time, in the days when the wedding was about to be held, we were recruiting people on Bianliang Road to serve in the conscription, saying that it was recruiting people, but in fact it was to catch strong men. With the official position of Lu Gongzi's father, Lu Gongzi could have been exempted from servitude, but the family was unwilling to negotiate with the Mongols, so they taught Lu Gongzi to go out and hide. Then Lu Gongzi went hunting, but he met the Mongols who were leaving in the woods, and the Mongols took him away to serve as a servant. When Xi Zhi said this, she sighed and said, "It's all arranged by fate." Yin Cong listened and asked, "What about later?"

Xi Zhi said: "Later, I didn't want to stay in my hometown anymore, and I remembered that Lu Gongzi was a poor man with a bad fate, so I secretly left Bianliang Road with Lianyu and went all the way south to find him. Lu Yincong listened, poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass and said: "No wonder Miss Ruan is so dedicated to saving me, a person I don't know, it turns out that the beauty has always been affectionate." I drank this glass of wine as a respect. "Then he drank the wine.

Xi Zhixiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lu is an anti-Yuan person, don't I know that I will come to save you in the future? Even if my own life is gone, I will save you! Brother Lu said this, he couldn't help but look down on people! Besides, although she is a little woman, what a little woman is, a little woman can also be affectionate! Did Brother Lu only know today that this little woman is deeply affectionate?" Lu Yincong heard this, his heart was ashamed, he got up and arched his hand: "Miss Ruan, I said the wrong thing, please don't be surprised!"

Ruan Xizhi shook her hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, sit down, how can I blame you!" Lu Yincong sat down and said with a smile: "Miss Ruan, you go on! I won't interrupt you now." ”

Ruan Xizhi smiled lightly, and told Lu Yincong about her experience of leaving her hometown, until the night she rescued Lu Yincong. Lu Yincong listened all the way, laughing or sighing, he heard Xi Zhi say that Zhong Libei mentioned such a fight, he knew in his heart that the fight was the fourth battle between the Hai Club and Zhang Gui and his group, the man in Tsing Yi that Xi Zhi admired in his mouth was himself, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart at the moment; he heard Xi Zhi say that they were in danger that night in Xin'anjiang, and there was a person who saved them, and the person who listened to Xi Zhi said was in outfit, Lu Yin Cong could basically conclude that it was Qiao Luo's cowardice, and he couldn't help but secretly thank Qiao Luo for saving Xi Zhi; he heard Xi Zhi talk about how to conspire with the Yilong Gang to save him, and he was grateful to Xi Zhi in his heart, and he was deeply moved by the righteousness of the Yilong Gang, I can't help but think about how to repay them in the future.

After Xi Zhi finished speaking, she said: "The two of us will go all the way in the future, and you will know everything." Yin Cong sighed: "It turns out that you were so misunderstood in the Grand Canyon at that time! This is really a big coincidence!" Xi Zhi said: "You don't laugh at me for being stupid?" Yin Cong said: "If I laugh at you, who will save me?" Xi Zhi blushed and said, "It's not my credit to save you alone!"

Xi Zhi asked, "That Mrs. Yin, what is the relationship between her and Brother Lu?" Yin Cong shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just feel that seeing that lady, I have a different feeling in my heart." Xi Zhi said: "This is also strange. ”

Yin Cong smiled and said, "I don't know if Miss Ruan can show me the baby ornament in your set, I want to see what this ornament that has placed the girl's heart on looks like!" Xi Zhi smiled: "In the package, I will show it to Brother Lu when I go back to the inn." ”

Lu Yincong hesitated in his heart, and at this time he asked, "Then Miss Ruan is ...... That Lu Gongzi can be said to have no ...... There is no affection between men and women?" Xi Zhi nodded and sighed: "I have never even met him, how can I talk about the affection between men and women! Even if I really find him, I will not marry him." When Yin Cong heard this, his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but feel happy, he lowered his head to calm down, and then asked: "Then Miss Ruan still wants to go to him?" Xi Zhi was stunned for a long time, looked at Lu Yincong and sighed, and said: "He has his own life, this is his life, and no one can change it." He is a dignified man, even if he wants to do some conscription, he will not be tired!" Lu Yincong said: "It's good that Miss Ruan can think like this. ”

Xi Zhi wanted to take the wine again, Yin Cong saw that her face was sad, gently pressed the wine jug, and said, "After saying so much, Miss Ruan doesn't seem to have said her worries yet." Xi Zhi smiled bitterly: "That's true!" She sighed heavily and said, "It's just that I'm willing to talk to Brother Lu about this worry, Brother Lu really won't laugh at me?" Lu Yincong said: "How can it be? I will help Miss Ruan share her worries." ”

Ruan Xizhi said lightly: "How can you share your worries?" or said: "When I was in my hometown, I used to study in a private school, and I admired my private school teacher very much. I...... I like him a lot. When Yin Cong heard this, his heart sank, and he couldn't help but listen to her with bated breath. Xi Zhi said: "I once told him euphemistically, but ...... But he ignored me. Maybe Mr. doesn't look down on me from the bottom of his heart......" Yin Cong listened, and he was angry, and couldn't help but say: "He can't look down on you, it's just that this person has a pair of empty eyes." Xi Zhi shook her head and said nothing, and was about to bring wine to drink, Yin Cong saw that her eyebrows were frowning, so she didn't stop her this time. Xi Zhi drank several glasses in a row, and murmured softly: "The wine enters the bowels and turns into lovesick tears." ”

Lu Yincong saw that Xi Zhi was wishful thinking for that person, and his heart couldn't help but be a little wider. He persuaded, "Miss Ruan, in my opinion, since that man has no intention of you, why should you bother to be obsessed with it?

Xi Zhi said: "He is so talented, and he is also very handsome......" Ruan Xizhi is really drunk, otherwise according to her shy nature, how could she say this to Lu Yincong! Lu Yincong's heart moved, and she couldn't help but come close and ask with a smile: "Is he more handsome than me?" Xizhi laughed and said, "More handsome than you!" Yin Cong said: "I really have to meet you, Mr. Private School!" Xizhi said this trouble, and her heart was really relieved, she smiled and asked: "What do you see him doing?" Yin Cong said: " You said that he doesn't look down on you, I want to see if there is something wrong with his eyes, and I have to treat him!" Xi Zhi was drunk and confused, and said with a smile: "His eyes are very good! He is good at everything......!" However, when I am with Brother Lu, I am very high...... Happy, very ...... It's a pleasure!"

Yin Cong suddenly heard Xi Zhi say this, his heart pounded, and he was surprised and delighted! Although he saw her drunk and confused, he probably didn't know what she said, but he had always "spit out the truth after drinking", and this was absolutely true! Lu Yin Cong couldn't help but be overjoyed and drank a glass of wine!
