Qiu Yintao shook his head: "No, Brother Zhou is too worried." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, he leaned against the tree and sat down, looking at the starry sky, his face became serious.

After a long time, Qiu Yintao said, "I came this time because I wanted to ask Brother Zhou for help. ”

Zhou Zijian looked at Qiu Yintao in surprise and asked, "What is the matter with Brother Qiu?"

Qiu Yintao smiled mysteriously and said, "I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that there is a secret hidden under this Laojun Pavilion, so I came to visit it before. I also hope that Brother Zhou will be fulfilled. ”

Zhou Zijian frowned and asked, "What's the secret?"

Qiu Yintao shook his head and said, "I don't know what the secret is. ”

Zhou Zijian couldn't help laughing: "Brother Qiu still doesn't know at the critical moment. But I don't know why Brother Qiu is sure that Junior Brother can agree to your request?"

Qiu Yintao suddenly smiled strangely and said, "Because I saved you." ”

Zhou Zijian looked dazed and said, "How can you say this?"

Qiu Yintao raised his head, stared at Zhou Zijian with two eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian just escaped from the front of the Nine Heavens Xuansha some time ago, could it be that he forgot it?"

Zhou Zijian's face immediately changed greatly, and he said with wide eyes: "Could it be you, Brother Qiu? It was the rocket you sent that injured the Nine Heavens Xuansha?"

Qiu Yintao nodded proudly and said, "No, it's just below." ”

When Zhou Zijian heard this, he immediately knelt down on his knees, banged his head on the ground and said: "The grace of saving lives, the grace of reconstruction." Since then, the elder brother's life has been a sea of swords and fires, and the younger brother has no choice. ”

Qiu Yintao was startled, hurriedly stretched out his hands to clasp each other, and said, "Brother Zhou is serious, please get up quickly." ”

Zhou Zijian raised his head and said with a solemn face: "The little brother of the word 'Brother Zhou' never dares to take it. From this day on, you are my eldest brother and I am your little brother. ”

Qiu Yintao saw that Zhou Zijian was sincere, so he said angrily: "In this case, you and I will be brothers in life and death from today onwards." Virtuous brother is exempt, please get up quickly. ”

Qiu Yintao helped Zhou Zijian up, and asked with a smile: "But I don't know if the foolish brother just now..."

Zhou Zijian looked solemn and said, "Wrap it up on the little brother." ”

Qiu Yintao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then the foolish brother will wait for good news." After saying that, he jumped out of the courtyard wall.

Qiu Yintao had just jumped out of the wall when a figure stood in front of him.

The person who came sneered: "He only knew that you saved him, but he didn't know that you also stole his hundred taels of gold, causing him to almost starve to death on the street." ”

Since Qiu Yintao left, Zhou Zijian didn't know how many times he had checked Lao Junting. Although this Laojun Pavilion is very large, it is empty except for the thirty-six tall white door panels and seventy-two red lacquered pillars around it. The floor is cleaned every day, and each square brick can be described as grinding brick joints, which is very neat and clean. Zhou Zijian used a wooden stick to knock here and there, but never found any clues.

After about half a month, Ximen Kuanghui and Ximen Zairen came to Bailiu Villa again, gave Zhou Zijian five taels of silver as usual, and gave Zhou Zijian a day off.

Zhou Zijian did not go to Taiyuan City, but quietly returned to the garden. After waiting for a long, long time, he saw Ximen Kuanghui and Ximen Zairen walking out of the Laojun Pavilion.

Ximen Kuanghui returned to Taiyuan City alone, while Ximen Zairen checked the other courtyards of Bailiu Villa.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Zhou Zijian came back pretendedly.

Ximen Zairen was not suspicious, briefly explained a few words to Zhou Zijian, and prepared to leave Bailiu Villa.

Before leaving, Zhou Zijian asked Ximen Zairen: "Lord Steward, what is this Ximen Zhuang owner doing when he comes back?"

Ximen Zairen looked at Zhou Zijian and said with a smile: "There is nothing special, just collecting rent, visiting tenants, checking accounts, etc." With that, he mounted his horse and whipped away.

Zhou Zijian looked at Ximen Zailen's back and sneered in his heart.

That night, Qiu Yintao came to visit Bailiu Villa again.

Zhou Zijian told Qiu Yintao with shame on his face that he still had nothing to gain.

Qiu Yintao didn't care, and comforted Zhou Zijian and said, "Don't worry, virtuous brother. This time, Brother Fool has brought you something that may come in handy. After speaking, he took out a big gourd from behind his back and handed it to Zhou Zijian.

Zhou Zijian took the gourd, shook it and said, "What a big gourd, what's in it?" After speaking, he was about to open the mouth of the gourd.

Qiu Yintao hurriedly stopped him: "Don't open this gourd, if you open it now, it will be useless." It's a specially configured potion. ”

Zhou Zijian asked in surprise, "What can this potion be used for?"

Qiu Yintao said with a solemn expression: "Wait until the day before Ximen Kuanghui's next visit, you will sprinkle the potion on all the places in the Laojun Pavilion. When Ximen Kuanghui is gone, he will leave shallow marks everywhere he goes, and by daylight the next day, these marks will disappear. ”

Zhou Zijian frowned: "The day when Ximen Kuanghui came to this village is not fixed, and the younger brother can't determine when he will come?"

Qiu Yintao smiled slightly: "This foolish brother has already thought about it for you." Every time Ximen Kuanghui comes to Bailiu Villa, he will definitely send Ximen Zairen to the best brewing workshop in Taiyuan City to buy a few jars of good Fen wine, and then transport it to this Bailiu Villa. I'll let you know in advance. ”

Zhou Zijian asked suspiciously, "How does the elder brother inform the younger brother?"

Qiu Yintao smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Fool has his own way. You'll just have to wait for my news. ”

After more than half a month, after Zhou Zijian inspected Bailiu Villa, he found a note in the bedroom where he lived: Tomorrow.

That night, Zhou Zijian sprinkled the potion in the gourd all over the corners of the Laojun Pavilion, and even all the places that his hands could touch. The potion has no color or smell. It was done early the next morning.

In the early morning of the next day, Ximen Kuanghui really came again with Ximen Zairen. As usual, Zhou Zijian received five taels of silver and went to Taiyuan City, and this time he really went to Taiyuan City.

Zhou Zijian came to the blacksmith shop again, and the blacksmith shop was still tinkling. Zhou Zijian saw the thin old man in the blacksmith shop at a glance. The old man was sitting on a stool in a corner, leaning against the wall, fanning himself incessantly.

Zhou Zijian hugged his fist at the old man and said, "Old man, hello." ”

When the old man saw Zhou Zijian, he slowly stood up and walked up to Zhou Zijian and said, "Son, please." I wonder why Childe is here today?"

Zhou Zijian said with a smile: "Last month, I asked you to repair the saber." I don't want you to make this sword heavier and longer, and change the name to 'Shen Xue'. It's a lot of tricks, and I wonder if you can make this sword thinner, and it's better to restore it to its original appearance. After speaking, he untied the "Shen Xue" and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the "Shen Xue", took it out and looked at it, and then handed it to Zhou Zijian, with a trace of hesitation on his old face, and said, "Childe, the name of your original sword is 'Yinhong', right?" ”
