"Although he is not talented in the bottom, he is indeed one of the protectors of the Five Elements Rudder. There is also this one, who is the water protector whose status in the rudder is second only to the helmsman. ”

Gongsun Xuan said, and then carried the water protector on his back.

"I can trust this person's ability, looking at his appearance just now, he should also be in the way of those people. ”

Gongsun Xuan smiled and said: "The water protector with superior strength in my rudder can't deal with those people, just rely on the girl herself, then she is a moth to fight the fire." ”

Nangong Zhaodi limped to a crooked neck tree with the thickness of her arm, and with a casual split, she cut the crooked neck tree into a rough crutch. Nangong Zhaodi tried the crutch before he spoke: "It's okay to join forces with your clan, but we can get three chapters of the law." ”

"The girl said come and listen. ”

Nangong Zhaodi arched her brows and did something thoughtful. After a while, she smiled and said, "First, you are not allowed to ask me why. ”

"For ......" Gongsun Xuan's words were stagnant, and he suddenly smiled: "I understand, what do you say about the second and third articles?"

"I haven't figured out the second or third one yet. I'll tell you when I think of it. But I think this one is enough. Nangong Zhaodi's clear water eyes blinked, revealing some unclear nonsense. And when she said it, after a long time, she didn't hear Gongsun Xuan reply.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Zhaodi looked back and saw Gongsun Xuan with his head furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking. Gongsun Xuan raised his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "It's nothing, even if the remaining two girls think, as long as it is not too difficult for the strongman, then they will definitely satisfy the girls one by one." ”

Nangong Zhaodi smiled when she heard this: "It's okay if you know each other, by the way, I don't know what your name is?"

"Gongsun Xuan, Xuan is the Xuan of the Qi Yu Xuan. ”

Nangong Zhaodi sneered: "You will praise yourself, then I will call you Gongsun Protector in the future." ”

"Girl, casual. Gongsun Xuan yawned suddenly, he stretched out one hand and rubbed his face and said, "It's not early now, let's hurry up." ”

After hearing this, Nangong Zhaodi was vigilant: "Where are you going?"

Gongsun Xuan smiled and said, "Girl, don't be nervous, let's go to Yuanshan County." Yuanshan County is the foundation of the previous Tu Protector, and only when he goes to Naganshan County can he mobilize the people in his hands. ”

Nangong Zhaodi said lightly when she heard this: "Since this is the case, then I will go to Nayanshan County with you." You'd better show some skills, or I'll not serve you. ”

Gongsun Xuan nodded and said: "Of course, if you go to Yuanshan County, if the girl still feels that it is useless, then the girl can leave." ”

"That's a good thing to say. ”

After speaking, Nangong Zhaodi walked two steps with a crutch, and then turned around and said coldly: "What are you doing in a daze?

Gongsun Xuan smiled: "Come on!"

Immediately, the two of them walked through the mountains one after the other. Sometimes the two of them are supportive, sometimes they are far away. By the time the two of them left the mountain and came to the mountain town, it was already halfway through the long night. There are many inns and shops in this mountain town, and most of the people who come and go are foot merchants and horse dealers, so although it is late at night, the town is still lively.

Feeling hungry, Gongsun Xuan couldn't help but lead Nangong Zhaodi to a snack shop. Business in this shop is not good, and the tables are empty. The guy and shopkeeper in the shop was frying pies, and he was not surprised to see Gongsun Xuan carrying an unconscious water protector on his back. To be honest, in this backer town, the most common thing is to kill people and sell goods. Take a look on the street, maybe one of them is the Jiang Yang thief on the case.

Gongsun Xuan put down the water protector and supported him by Tuo Nan Gong Zhaodi. Then, after untying his robe and spreading it on the ground, he moved the water protector over. Immediately, Gongsun Xuan rubbed his hands and said, "Shopkeeper, what else do you have to eat here?" ”

After a long time, the shopkeeper said quietly: "In addition to the hot pie, it is the cold bean flower left over from noon, if the guest officer does not dislike it, then I will serve you two bowls." ”

Gongsun Xuan looked at Nangong Zhaodi and said with a smile: "Girl, why don't we change another one?"

Nangong Zhaodi said lightly: "Where are the children of the rivers and lakes so squeamish, eat some casually, and hurry after eating." ”

"That's fine. After Gongsun Xuan answered, he said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, you serve four pies first." I'll go and hold the bean curd myself, and I'll cook you here. ”

The shopkeeper said slowly after a long time: "That's troublesome for the guest officer." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Xuan crossed the shopkeeper of the fried pie and entered the back kitchen. Not long after Gongsun Xuan entered the back kitchen, the shopkeeper took a plate, filled four pies, and then got up and walked to Nangong Zhaodi's table. Seeing the shopkeeper get up, Nangong Zhaodi was really stunned. I saw that the shopkeeper walked high and low, and he took a step with his left foot, revealing his shoes. When the right foot is raised, a wooden stake is exposed.

Nangong Zhaodi was dumbfounded, and she said in her heart: "I didn't expect that this shopkeeper was disabled, and Gongsun Xuan went to Sheng Douhuaer by himself, presumably to take care of this shopkeeper who was inconvenient to walk." As soon as she thought about it, Gongsun Xuan walked out of the back kitchen with two bowls of bean curd.

After the shopkeeper put the pie on the table, he lowered his head and said, "The guest officer uses it slowly." Immediately, he limped to the pan again, and continued to fry the pie.

With a "bang", Gongsun Xuan put a bowl of bean curd in front of Nangong Zhaodi and said, "Girl, please use it." ”

Nangong Zhaodi took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks and stirred the bean curd, but she didn't mean to drink it.

Seeing this, Gongsun Xuan smiled and said: "If the girl has no appetite, then give me the bean curd, my belly is very hungry." ”

"You think it's beautiful, this meal is my treat, how can it be cheap for you. After that, Nangong Zhaodi picked up the bowl, and after only two bites, she poured a bowl of bean curd into her stomach.

Gongsun Xuan secretly slandered: "You have a treat, it's not my money that you spent." ”

"If Gongsun Protector has no appetite, how about giving you to me?"

Gongsun Xuan came back to his senses when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "It's easy to spoil the stomach if you drink too much of this cold, so it's better to share some of it for the girl." With that, he stuffed two pies into his mouth, and took another bite of the bean curd into his stomach.

After burping, Gongsun Xuan touched his stomach and smiled: "What kind of girl, this coarse tea and light rice still suits your appetite?"

"It's not bad, I didn't expect that in such a vulgar place, the food cooked is exquisite. ”

Gongsun Xuan smiled and said, "Girl, I won't tell you." I have a cook under my command, and that skill is called a must, and if the girl doesn't dislike it, your food will be paid for by you. ”

"Then I can't ask for it, anyway, I can save a few taels of silver, why not. Nangong Zhaodi said, then took out a small ingot, weighing two taels from the money bag hanging from his waist, put it on the table, and said, "Shopkeeper, settle the bill." ”

Gongsun Xuan was surprised when he saw this: "Girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to find your ingot of silver in this small shop." ”

Nangong Zhaodi smiled: "Who said I want someone to find it." ”

"Then this meal is worth a few copper plates......"

Nangong Zhaodi waved her hand and interrupted Gongsun Xuan and said, "I ate well, I want to reward it, do you care?"

"I used to be able to manage it, but now I really can't manage it. Gongsun Xuan smiled helplessly, then got up and carried the water protector again. Nangong Zhaodi slapped the robe stained with a lot of dust, slapped it clean, and draped it on the water protector's body, and said lightly: "You wait here, I'll get a carriage over." ”

Gongsun Xuan smiled when he heard this: "The girl is atmospheric. ”

Nangong Zhaodi smiled and said: "I'm very stingy, the silver for the carriage is considered to be lent to you by me, and you have to return it to me with interest." ”

Although Gongsun Xuan was helpless, he could only accept it with a smile. Not long after Nangong Zhaodi left, he walked back with a carriage. As soon as there was a carriage to travel, before dawn, the three of them came to Yuanshan County.

Nangong Zhaodi jumped out of the carriage, looked around and said, "In the past few days, I have settled in the Fuyue Inn in front, if you have anything important, come to the inn to find me." ”

Gongsun Xuan put the horsewhip aside and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, it's safer for the girl to live with her." ”

"Even if I'm killed, I don't want to drink tea under the same roof as you. ”

Looking at Nangong Zhaodi's disdainful gaze, Gongsun Xuan smiled bitterly: "Then it will be as the girl wishes, but the girl must be careful." ”

After a few words, Gongsun Xuan raised his horsewhip and drove the carriage to the west of the city. The carriage was galloping, and in a blink of an eye, it stopped in front of a large mansion in the west of the city, and only to see the plaque hanging on the gate with the word Tufu written on it.

"It's here, slaughtering the earth. ”

Gongsun Xuan nodded, then jumped out of the carriage and smashed the two wide doors of the mansion painted with black paint. He knocked a few times, but no one came out to greet him, but the dogs of the neighboring families barked.

"Well, how do you know that I am a dog? Gongsun Xuan laughed at himself, and then smashed the door again. This time he knocked only twice, and then he heard the sound of small footsteps from far and near behind the door. Soon, I heard the latch of the door unleash, and with a "creak", the door opened a small crack.

Gongsun Xuan looked in through the crack in the door, and saw a clever big eye that could see the thief's light at night.

"You, who?"

"In Xia Gongsun Xuan. ”

"You're the new Earth Protector?"

Gongsun Xuan smiled and said: "Your Excellency is Geng Xuan, who is known as Xiaokaishan, Geng Daxia. ”

There was a thud, and the man behind the door covered his mouth and giggled.

"Eh, I said Lord Dharma Protector, what kind of strange word are you chewing? I'm Geng Zhen, but I can't get along with heroes. Hearing this, I don't dare to open this door for you. ”

"The Water Protector is right, this Geng Jiao is a ghost. Daring to rap in front of the newly arrived Dharma Protector shows that this person is not small in courage and is a usable talent. Gongsun Xuan thought about it and said with a smile: "Geng Xuan, it doesn't matter if you don't open the door for me, but you can't open the door for the water protector, right?"

"What!"

When Geng heard this, he suddenly opened the door.

"The Water Protector is here, too?"

Seeing this, Gongsun Xuan smiled and said, "You are very jealous of the Water Protector, he is in the carriage now, you can go and greet him in person." ”

After hearing this, Geng Xuan hurriedly walked to the carriage, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "In Xia Geng Xuan, see the Dharma Protector!" After a while, no one in the carriage answered. Geng Tan couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This kid seems to want to fix me." As soon as he had this thought, Geng Jian secretly opened the curtain of the car.

When he landed, Geng Zhi jumped up: "Water Protector, what's wrong with him!"

Gongsun Xuan said lightly: "Carry the water protector into the house, I have something important to ward you." ”

Geng Tian didn't dare to delay when he heard this, he carefully picked up the unconscious water protector and quickly flashed into the house. Gongsun Xuan followed closely, and before he had taken two steps, he heard the Geng Xuan shouting in the courtyard: "The Earth Protector has arrived!"

Gongsun Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

In the bright room, the water protector is lying quietly on the bed. From time to time, I can still hear an old woman chanting: "The tables, chairs and benches are new, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all of the highest quality." It's this bed, eh, how can the water protector lie on this bed?"

Geng on the side said impatiently: "Granny Hua, I've told you a few times, Lord Water Protector was brought by the Earth Protector. ”

"Eh, look at my brain. Granny Hua glanced at Gongsun Xuan and said with a smile: "The tables, chairs and benches are all new, and this ink, paper and inkstone are all of the highest quality." This is the ......."

Before Granny Hua finished speaking, she saw a bearded man break up: "Earth Protector, Earth Protector! The meal is ready, come and eat it while it's hot!"

Gongsun Xuan didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard this. He thought that this Geng Jiao was strange enough, but he didn't think that the other two people were more alive than the other.

"Go out, go out, drink your swill!" Geng Xuan frowned after drinking two sentences: "Earth Protector, I know the ins and outs of this matter. In my opinion, it's better to send the water protector back to the rudder as soon as possible. And let's not get involved in the matter of the Lotus Peng Prison. ”

Gongsun Xuan's face changed when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "The helmsman ordered me to protect the law for the earth, that is, let me investigate the matter of the Lotus Peng Prison, how can I shirk it to the helmsman again?"

Geng Zhen smiled, he shook his head and said, "Earth Protector, do you really think that you are still the Earth Protector now?"

"Oh?" Hearing what Geng Xuan said, Gongsun Xuan asked, "How do you say this?"

Geng Tan put his hand in his sleeve, snorted and said, "Since the Earth Protector doesn't understand, then I'll tell you about it." The reason why the previous Earth Protector placed his residence in this mountainous county was because this place was not too far from the Rock and Earth Hall in the west and the Lotus Peng Prison in the east, and it was convenient for the Earth Protector to arrange the affairs of both sides. But now, the Lotus Prison is gone. And the rock and soil hall, on the surface, it is still your soil protector who has the final say, but in fact, it has become the subordinate hall of the golden protector. After all, your earth protector is now a marshal without soldiers, a tiger without soldiers. The reason why the helmsman gave you such a position as a protector of the Dharma is actually to treat you and the Lotus Peng Prison as outcasts.

The helmsman did this just to give an explanation to the brothers in the helm. Second, that is, the opponent helmsman this time is not sure that he can deal with it. Therefore, Lord Tu Protector, the little one advises you, just hang your false position here with peace of mind, take care of your days, and don't use chicken feathers as arrows. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Xuan let out a long breath and said, "I see. ”

"Yes, you just need to understand. ”

Gongsun Xuan nodded and said, "Geng Xuan, I understand what you said." So, I'm going to give you two things now, and you're going to do it for me. ”

Geng Jiao waved his hand and said absentmindedly: "Yes, you are the protector of the Dharma, you are open to say." ”

Gongsun Xuan smiled and said, "The first thing is to escort the water protector back to the chief rudder and let the helmsman heal his injuries. ”

Geng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he smiled: "I thought that you were an unenlightened person who protected the Earth Protector, but I didn't expect you to be quite bright." ”

Gongsun Xuan smiled and said, "This second thing is to use your connections to check someone for me." ”

Geng Yan was stunned when he heard this, and he said softly: "Could it be that you want me to check on the woman of the Hundred Flowers Palace?"

Gongsun Xuan nodded and said, "Not bad, but it's not more." You can't help but check her, and you have to check the Baihua Palace, and check whether the Baihua Palace has been destroyed. ”

Geng Jiao listened, and when he patted his thigh, he grinned: "Eh, I said the Earth Protector, you turned out to be an elm head, what I said just now, but you didn't hear a word in your ears!"

"No, I not only heard what you said, but also remembered it in my heart. What you mean is nothing more than to say that our clan has provoked a terrible opponent, and if we don't eradicate this opponent, the upper and lower brothers of that clan will be in danger of their lives. As you said, although I am a false position, what I am holding in my hands is not chicken feathers, but three phoenix feathers. As soon as Gongsun Xuan's words fell, Geng Xuan hurriedly said: "Deta, what do you mean, do you still want to drag the three of us into this troubled water? As for me, it's even less worth mentioning, a thief who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The three of us don't want to go into the coffin so early. ”

Gongsun Xuan ignored Geng Xuan's complaints, he smiled heartily: "But the water protector is especially important to the three of you! I don't need you to work for anyone, but we are mixed up in the rivers and lakes, we have to talk about morality, don't we? Let's not mention those false ones, the water protector has been tossed like this, we have to avenge him, don't we? As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." Granny Hua, you are our treasure, you don't have to go anywhere, just sit at home. And Ding Xu, aren't you a cook, then do a good job as a cook. From tomorrow onwards, you will cook for me in a different way, and you are not allowed to bring the same kind of food to every meal. ”

Ding Yuhan smiled: "I'll look at it!"

"Idiot!"

As soon as Geng Xuan scolded in a low voice, Gongsun Xuan turned his head and smiled at him: "As for Little Brother Geng, since you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will always be afraid, and the best thing to fear is that even Lord Yan is too lazy to accept your life." This Dharma Protector has a hunch that as long as you don't die, we can achieve great things. ”
