Nie Zeng received an invitation with a list of names, most of which he remembered, so he asked the military advisor for leave and went to the banquet.

To the Western Regions, the Central Plains forces are like tides that change with the seasons, rising and falling for a period of time, leaving a little trace each time, including the military camps distributed in the eastern countries.

There were no soldiers in Bingtun for a long time, rich in farmers and swordsmen, Nie Zeng was a child of Bingtun, and the people who invited him to dinner were all fellow villagers, and a few of them left home after him.

Nie Zeng once resented these people, when his uncle's whole family was killed by the Dragon King and Tie Hanfeng, no one stood up for revenge, and no one even said anything, the young man came all the way and didn't get much help, at most the villagers told him the name of the murderer, and then admonished: "Forget it, Biyucheng is like this, he couldn't be provoked when he was a killer in the past, and now when he is a dragon king, he can't be provoked." ”

After a few years, Nie Zeng, who gradually matured, began to understand the rules of the swordsman, and understood that the seemingly cowardly behavior of his fellow villagers at the beginning was actually justified, and after seeing countless vendettas, he himself gave up hatred.

Only a person like the Dragon King will always solidify his hatred in his heart, he is incompatible with Biyu City, and he can't even be regarded as a native of the Western Regions.

However, Nie Zeng still admired the Dragon King, he knew how painful it was to have hatred in his heart, and the Dragon King had persevered until now, and would continue to do so.

The meeting place was a remote tavern, and more than a dozen fellow villagers gathered around and patted Nie Zeng affectionately, including a playmate from his childhood.

"Look, I'm out too. The playmate's name was Qiao Guan, and he excitedly raised the single knife to Nie Zeng.

"The boy who didn't know it, he only came out for a few months, and he thought he was a well-known swordsman. A swordsman in his forties said with a smile that Qiao Guan was his nephew and was very popular with him, "Look at Nie Zeng, he is about the same age, compared to others, don't you blush?"

Qiao Guan's face was not red, he stood beside Nie Zeng, patted ** and said: "We are good brothers, regardless of each other, it's too late for me to be happy for him, why blush?"

Nie Zeng blushed a little, he really didn't think he was very good, he was just an ordinary Dragon Army guard, "Second uncle, Qiao Guan'er, don't taunt me, let outsiders hear the joke, aren't you drinking today?" ”

The fellow villagers applauded, hugged Nie Jin's shop, and began to raise a bowl to toast before they could sit down.

Qiao Er is the leader of this small group of people, he came to Biyu City first, not to mention anything else, just being able to live until now is considered a great achievement, not to mention that he is still a small cover on the street, with a stable source of income, and the swordsmen from the same village came to Biyu City to roam, and there was no one who did not pay a visit to him.

Of course, he can't protect everyone, he can only help within the scope of his ability, accumulate contacts bit by bit, and if this swordsman is not dead in three years, he will vigorously take over.

Nie Zeng's uncle only survived in Biyu City for two months, so he had a general relationship with Qiao Er, but Nie Zeng had almost been three years old, and he was already very valuable in the eyes of his fellow villagers.

Nie Zeng practiced a good amount of wine in Beiting, and sure enough, he had a "real skill", and soon re-acquainted himself with his fellow villagers, and Qiao Guan followed him, more affectionately than his uncle.

This is a casual and fun party, everyone has a common language, Qiao Guan brought the news of Nie Zeng's parents and relatives, saying that they are doing well, Qiao Er recalled the past, and remembered many naughty things when Nie Zeng was a child, and the other swordsmen talked about the big and small things in Biyu City, asked Nie Zeng about the inside story, and took every word he said very seriously.

Slowly, some people drank too much and retired, some people fell asleep under the table, Qiao Guan went crazy, pulled out a knife and shouted in the store, was slapped down by his uncle, lay on the ground and muttered a few words, and also fell asleep.

In the end, only Qiao Er and Nie Zeng were left, Qiao Er even had red eyes, but he was very conscious, pulling Nie Zeng's arm and shedding a few tears, "As soon as I saw you, I thought of your uncle Nie Qing, alas, I feel ashamed." ”

Second Uncle Qiao collected the corpse for my uncle's whole family, Nie Zeng has always kept it in mind, this favor has not been repaid, I am the one who is ashamed in my heart. ”

Qiao Er glanced at his nephew who was sleeping with his mouth open, and sighed, "Nie Zeng, to be honest, you have changed a lot in the past two years." ”

"When I grow up and understand that there are many things, there will naturally be changes. ”

Qiao Er nodded in agreement, then lowered his voice and asked, "Do you still plan to take revenge?"

"My uncle chose his own life, he offended people, and they hired assassins to kill him, although he died unjustly, but I have no revenge. ”

Qiao Er nodded again, "This is Biyu City, you can't complain when you come, you have to be on guard at all times, a negligence will cause death, however, Biyu City still has a set of rules." ”

"Huh?" Nie Zeng finally understood that Qiao Er really had something to say.

"The strong can bully the weak, the so-called revenge is to show everyone that I am stronger than you, like the Dragon King, he is a smart man, he is never in a hurry to kill the Dubu King, and he fights steadily until his strength is stronger than Jinpeng Castle, and then he openly comes to Biyu City to take revenge. ”

Nie Zeng smiled, "It's impossible for me to be stronger than the Dragon King, so I can only give up revenge." ”

Qiao Er's expression was very serious, which made his red eyes show a bit of fierceness, "The Dragon King also made mistakes, if he had taken the Beiting cavalry to capture Biyu City in one go, the matter would have ended, but he had to curry favor with the Central Plains and hand over the good situation to others, and the Dragon King only looked powerful now......"

Nie Zeng couldn't listen anymore, got up and said: "Second uncle, today is only about the old relationship, if you have ulterior motives - the wine is almost drunk, I still say goodbye, see you next time, let's talk about business." ”

Qiao Er hurriedly pulled Nie Zeng to sit down, "Blame me for talking too much, I'll just ask, you really don't want to take revenge?"

"As I said, there is no revenge. ”

Qiao Er waited for a while, and found that Nie Zeng was serious, so he didn't say more, the two silently drank a few more bowls of wine, and Qiao Er changed the topic: "Nie Zeng, you are not young anymore, have you ever thought about starting a family." ”

"I'm only sixteen, it's too early to talk about this, right?" Nie Zeng said in amazement.

"You're only sixteen, that's right, you're the same age as Qiao Guan'er, but you look much more mature than him. Qiao Er sighed.

Nie Zeng not only had a frosty face, but his behavior was much more restrained than Qiao Guan's, revealing a temperament that did not match his age, "The grassland is windy and snowy, and I am frozen like this." ”

"Haha. Qiao Er laughed, putting the little embarrassment just now behind him, "Actually, sixteen is not too young, there is nothing wrong with getting married early, and your father and mother can be more assured." Well, do you have a favorite girl? Tell the second uncle, and I'll give you a kiss. ”

Nie Zeng blushed a little, "No, no, the second uncle thinks too much." ”

Qiao Er let out another burst of laughter, "It's good to be young, you can still be moved by women, you can't hide it, tell me what kind of person you are?" Let's talk about it first, don't be a girl from a ** hospital, even if I don't care, your father and mother can't recognize it." ”

Nie Zeng's face turned even redder, he didn't expect his heart to be so obvious, and he picked up the wine bowl, "Drinking and drinking, why are you talking about these boring things?"

Qiao Er was interested, pressed the wine bowl in Nie Zeng's hand, and said slyly: "Don't mind, this is not boring, look at your appearance, you know that it is a good girl, you treat her as a fairy, don't you?"

Nie Zeng looked at Qiao Er in confusion, "Second uncle, I treat you as a relative, please have something to say, I can't stand such a roundabout thing." ”

"Hehe, second uncle, I still have some sources, is there a little girl surnamed Tie next to the Dragon King? ”

Nie Zeng was not only surprised, but also very vigilant, Qiao Er knew that the existence of Tie Linglong was not unusual, and it was surprising that it would link her with Nie Zeng.

"Did I say yes?" Qiao Er looked at Nie Zeng's silence as shy, "It's a pity, this good girl was taken first by the Dragon King." ”

A trace of murderous aura flashed in Nie Zeng's eyes, in an instant, he was more like a killer than an ordinary swordsman, Qiao Er felt that he had discovered Nie Zeng's weakness, and he didn't even notice his changes, and continued: "The Dragon King is lustful, none of the women around him can escape, what kind of female soldier in the country of incense, to put it bluntly, isn't it a wife and concubine prepared for the Dragon King, Tie Linglong......"

Tie Linglong's name came out of Qiao Er's mouth, which made Nie Zeng doubly angry, stood up, and punched Qiao Er in the back of the head.

Qiao Er drank a lot of wine and collapsed on the table and fainted.

Nie Zeng held the handle of the knife, hesitated for a moment, looked up and saw the panicked gaze of the hotel guy, so he let go of his hand and walked away.

It was late at night when he returned to the Protector's Mansion, and Nie Zeng wanted to see the Dragon King but didn't want to see him, so he wandered around the courtyard alone until a voice came from overhead, "If you dangle around again, I'm going to make a move." ”

Nie Zeng raised his head and looked at Tie Linglong lying on the roof, trying to find those green eyes, but he found nothing, he also drank too much, otherwise he would never ask such words, "You and the Dragon King ......"

Tie Linglong raised her head slightly, the moonlight flashed in her eyes, but it still didn't shine green, "Don't be nosy...... So what? I volunteered. ”

Nie Zeng stood stunned for a moment, then turned around and went back to his room.

Tie Linglong regretted it a little, the Dragon King said that he would keep it secret, but it was for Chu Nanping, and it had nothing to do with Nie Zeng, she lurked again, thinking that Nie Zeng shouldn't ask too much.

Nie Zeng didn't sleep all night, and when it was almost dawn, he went to see the Dragon King.

"Someone betrayed the Dragon King. Nie Zeng said that he sees his actions as an obligation and responsibility.

"Really?"

The Dragon King didn't seem to be surprised at all, and Nie Zeng was also very calm, "And it's a very close person around the Dragon King, and he knows many things that ordinary soldiers can't understand, such as ...... For example, Tie Linglong and the Dragon King. ”

Gu Shenwei stared at Nie Zeng, but what he was thinking about was Zhang Ji, that teacher was practicing the principle of "a strategist is a killer, and buying is a narrow knife", and he almost unabashedly wooed the cronies of the Dragon King.

Almost everyone came to tell the truth to the Dragon King, but long before Nie Zeng made a reminder, Gu Shenwei knew that the betrayal had already happened, and it was among these people who showed their loyalty to him.
