The young man moved the wine bowl, touched a glass with him, drank it all, and said, "I think Brother Tai is too suspicious. It is good to be alone and be vigilant, but as you say, you are the one who suffers from all things in moderation, and if you are too suspicious. What sinister intentions are there below? It's just that they can't get used to seeing the leader of the martial arts alliance bullying others. Everyone walks the rivers and lakes, and when the road is uneven, they should draw their swords to help. If you don't hear about this kind of evil thing, once you bump into me, you must take care of it. ”

Nangong Xue resonated and responded: "Who said it wasn't? I have never seen such a vexatious person who speaks out and gives you a comment." I have known him for a long time, and he scolded me indiscriminately, but now I don't know whether I regret it in my heart or force me to see him. If I refused, he would make arrangements along the way, and he would not stop until I was cornered and took the initiative to come to the door. I'm glad I met you, a kind person...... You say, is it my fault, or is it his?"

The young man said, "It's a girl." Men should not bully women, and their own affairs should also be solved internally. But he is involved with the people of the world, isn't he fooling around?" Nangong Xue praised: "Yes, yes, this statement has won my heart! But Senior Brother has always been steady, and he refused to give me even a little surprise, and he has never done such a ...... An earth-shattering move. ”

The young man smiled and said, "I have heard a saying in the next place. If a person who has always been steady will make some childish moves for a girl, he will be very affectionate to her. Nangong Xue took a sip and said, "Where did you hear this nonsense?" He doesn't have me in his heart......"

Shangguan Yaohua interrupted coldly: "However, when Brother Tai came to talk to the two of us, he was not afraid of the trouble that the martial arts alliance leader came to you? The young man smiled and said, "I am free to entertain guests in the room, what does it have to do with him? Even if it is the leader of the martial arts alliance, he can't be unreasonable." I'm not afraid of being affected by you, don't you want to make me a friend?"

Nangong Xue clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I like you to be so reckless." You friend, I've made a deal today. Dare to ask the son's surname?" The young man smiled and said, "Don't be surnamed Ping." It's just a nobody in the rivers and lakes, as for the name and word, it's just a code name, and the intersection is in the heart, and the appearance of things is not heard. Nangong Xue nodded, but she couldn't learn his true identity, and she always felt regretful.

The young man who called himself Ping Gongzi reset a bowl of wine, raised his glass to Shangguan Yaohua, and said with a smile: "This girl is refreshing, what does Brother Tai mean?

Shangguan Yaohua rolled his eyes, reluctantly touched a glass with him, and said, "Let me ask you, do you know where the martial arts alliance leader is?" I'm afraid that he will also be like this girl, and he will lose his temper and deliberately hide from him, so that the two of them will travel in the future and suffer more. ”

Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly: "Couldn't you ask him to be a shrunken turtle?" I always feel that you are a strange person, as if there are many things hidden from us, which makes people uncomfortable when they see it. If you have something to say, don't hide your head and show your tail, can you succeed? The two of us are not famous people, and if we make friends, we can't please much. If you have something to ask for, it's best to bring it up as soon as possible, and see if we can do it, don't be tired of you being busy in vain, I don't want to go. ”

Ping Gongzi said: "Brother Tai's words are wrong, who has no secrets? A person stands in front of you with a good look, but you can never see through him completely." Like you, I don't know how many other secrets are hidden. Even if I fail to tell you about it, it doesn't mean that I have any ill will towards you. Only when you are hurt too deeply, or if you betray others too much, will you lose your sense of security and be suspicious of anyone, anything, or anything. ”

Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly, thinking of what he said, but he had taken it all. There was nothing to say for a while.

Ping Gongzi continued: "I see that the two of you are in a hurry, let me ask more, where do you want to go?" Shangguan Yaohua said in his heart: "You have too many mouths. What does this have to do with you?" A sentence hung on his lips, and before he could speak, Nangong Xue replied: "Young Master Ping, dare to ask if you have heard of the red sand beads? It is a legendary treasure, which is said to be only available in the desert land of the beach. That's what we're looking for...... This kind of beads. ”

Ping Gongzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Red Sand Beads? Oh, I know, the two of you are also one of the suitors who plan to go to the Ping family, right? When the two of them heard this, they were all happy. As long as the red sand beads are real, even if the direction is 108,000 miles wrong, there will always be a day of success. Nangong Xue was even more busy thanking.

Ping Gongzi smiled: "Don't thank you too early, I not only know the red sand bead, but also know where it is." If there is nothing to do, why don't you just let me take you to pick it up? Anyway, you haven't been freed from the martial arts alliance master's net, have you?"

Shangguan Yaohua said: "You are so righteous, but you don't want us to reciprocate? What is that for? Don't tell me, it's because it's fun?" Ping Gongzi smiled: "If you have to say this, it's okay." This is a very interesting matter, I have no hobbies in my life, but I like to be exposed to more bizarre things, as if this small merchant and peddler are uncomfortable, and there are so many amorous alliance leaders, which is unheard of before. Follow you, it should be an eye-opener. ”

Before Shangguan Yaohua could excuse himself, Nangong Xue said: "If Gongzi Ping is willing to go along, it is also the honor of the little woman, how can there be any reason to refuse?" Shangguan Yaohua glanced at her, pinched the wine glass with five fingers, looked at the turbid wine in the glass, and resisted the urge to slam it to the ground.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk enough, they went downstairs together. Ping Gongzi said to the shopkeeper: "These two guest officers eat and drink, all recorded in my account, don't you violate the rules?" The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master." We...... This one...... There should never be a fatality. ”

Ping Gongzi smiled faintly, at this time Shangguan Yaohua was staring at him, seeing that his eyes were gloomy, but the corners of his lips pulled out a sneer, and said softly: "You have done a good job, and you will definitely get due reward for your loyalty in the future." ”

Shangguan Yaohua's first thought was to turn his head to look at Nangong Xue to see how she reacted. Unexpectedly, Nangong Xue had already walked to the door of the inn, with her back to the two, and did not see this shocking scene. And when Gongzi Ping turned his head, he regained his previous kind eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I'm in a hurry, right? ”

Shangguan Yaohua had many doubts in his heart, and it was inconvenient to ask all the questions for a while, so he just waited for his companions to pay more attention. The suspicion of this inexplicable Ping Gongzi is getting worse.

When the three of them reached the street, a four-wheeled carriage was parked in the middle. The horse was tall and shiny, and at first sight it was a good horse accustomed to running long distances. The interior of the carriage is also extremely luxurious, and the curtain in front of the car is embroidered with a few gold edges, which looks almost like a royal sedan car.

Shangguan Yaohua sneered: "Brother Tai's family's business, is it really big enough?" Ping Gongzi glanced at the carriage and said, "You're polite, if I go alone and ride a pony, it's enough." But to entertain the two, it is always not shabby, this car is specially rented by me in the market, I just hope that the two of you will not dislike it. Shangguan Yaohua snorted, listening to Nangong Xue thank you repeatedly, I really wanted to take this carriage as a thank you, and the whole thing was scattered.

Ping Gongzi helped the two of them to get into the car, and he drove the horse in front. Shangguan Yaohua was always at ease, and wanted to observe him from time to time. Because Nangong Xue was on the side, all kinds of vigilance had to be restrained as much as possible.

In just a few days, everything was calm, and the three of them ate and rested as usual, and everything went as usual. Shangguan Yaohua failed to catch the handle of Ping Gongzi, he was unwilling in his heart, and stared even closer. When I arrived at the inn that night, I offered to live in the same room with Mr. Ping. In the past, it was always necessary to go down to three upper rooms, but this sudden change made everyone unaccustomed. Nangong Xue said with a smile: "Ah Hua, you are not a child again, why are you still relying on others?" Don't you dare to sleep alone?"

Shangguan Yaohua said: "Recently, the journey has been hard, and the two live together, so they can take care of each other. What's more, Ping Gongzi is so enthusiastic, it is not good to brush him off with his sincerity. Ping Gongzi smiled: "The two of us are talking about the world, and we can't ask for it." It's just that it's not a rule to sleep down, don't disturb your brother's sleep. ”

Shangguan Yaohua replied casually: "It's okay. He secretly said in his heart: "Look at how rude you can be when you pretend to be polite, no matter how indecent you are, how rude can you be? Nangong Xue was really helpless against these two people, so she could only let them go.

Shangguan Yaohua followed Ping Gongzi step by step, arrived in the room, and put down his luggage. Looking around, I saw that there was only one wooden couch, which was not very spacious, and if the two were crowded together, it would be narrow.

Shangguan Yaohua took out the book and made it look like he was reading hard under the lamp, but the real purpose was to find some excuses for staying up late. His eyes fell on the book, but his eyes peeked at Gongzi Ping from time to time, and he was secretly proud in his heart, thinking: "In the past, in Prince Fu's Mansion, the backlog of tasks during the day, which day was not busy until late at night? Even if you stay up for three or two months, you might as well do it." If you want to do anything, don't try to hide it from me. ”

However, Ping Gongzi's face was always as usual, and he didn't know what to think about for a while, so he got up and sorted out the bedding and got in. This was a big surprise to Shangguan Yaohua, and he frowned and said, "What, Master Ping, it's still bright today, and you went to bed so early?"

Ping Gongzi said: "Seeing a smile, going out is not as comfortable as being at home." Besides, there is nothing else to do in the future, so it is better to rest early, so that he can recharge his energy in the future. The brother is really working hard, could it be that he wants to be the new champion?"

Shangguan Yaohua said: "I'm ashamed, with the shallow talent of the younger brother, if I can become the champion, I really want to make the world's scholars release the book and commit suicide." "As for fame and fortune, you don't need to read much to it. Suddenly, he had an idea and said: "Brother Ping is full of economy, and at first sight, he is a person who knows astronomy and geography." I must also know a lot of diligent administration, but there are a few unclear opinions below, can I ask you a word or two?"

According to his calculations, the more estranged the relationship between the two is, it is not easy to notice any changes between them. It's better to make friends first, or you can find out some hidden secrets. Talking about the affairs of the family and the country can best elicit political opinions, and the understanding of him can be further deepened. Israel has this proposal.

Ping Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Hey, the commoners in the mountains and wilderness are full of ambitions, and there are still people who are willing to pay attention to them? Not to mention that others are still just right, looking at the calm demeanor of the brother, and the heroism revealed intentionally or unintentionally in his behavior, he knows that he is a big official in the court." I don't dare to get an axe in front of you. ”

Shangguan Yaohua said: "I don't know if you praise me or are sarcastic." I'm afraid that after reading the official document I approved, you will regret this sentence. Ping Gongzi smiled: "Yes, so good? Another day there will be a chance, and I will definitely open my eyes." We're just casual talk, you don't have to take my nonsense to heart, so we might try. If you don't mention the pen for many years, you will be ugly. ”
