Now that the sun has sunk in the west, Guan Ren and the lame old man dragged down the low mountain with a long oblique shadow.

Behind a big rock at the foot of the mountain, there stood the little girl in red alone, who did not follow Zhao Guandi's words and fled all the way south, but kept guarding the bottom of the mountain.

In the evening, the three of them stayed at an inn in the city.

This city is called the Broken Jade City, all because the west of the city flows through a big river called 'Prison Dragon', its source is in a certain mountain range in the territory of the demon soil, flows through Kungang, and the water often carries some fine jade materials, so it is named the Broken Jade City. In the flood season, the amount of jade in the prison dragon river will increase by several percent, and there is even a rare big jade in the world. Therefore, there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going in the broken jade city, and there are naturally many inns.

The shopkeeper was busy greeting customers, and suddenly saw a lame old man floating into the store, and he felt strange in his heart, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The old man saw that the guy was just stunned and didn't come to greet him for a long time, so he frowned and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you come to greet your grandfather." ”

Although the old man's words sounded rude, he did not take advantage of the fellow. With the old man's age, it must be more than enough to be his grandfather.

The man came to his senses and answered, "Here it is, here it is." What do you want, old fairy?"

The old man sat firmly on the stool on the north side of the square table, and Xiao Su helped Guan Ren to sit opposite.

The old man only needed a jar of wine, and Guan Ren said with a pale face: "Bother the little brother to clean up three clean guest rooms, and then bring a few side dishes and two bowls of noodles." ”

The man took off the shoulder rag, wiped the already smooth square table again, then put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well, you guys wait a minute." ”

A jar of wine came up, and the old man drank two bowls first, and exhaled a breath of wine, "Boy, are you really going to travel to Kyushu?"

"Hmm. ”

The old man took out another bowl and persuaded: "What's so good about that? At your age, you should learn a good kung fu, how can you delay your great youth on a tour of the mountains and waters? Just like an old man, once he realizes the Tao, he will have a few hundred years of time to live, although Kyushu is big, where can he go? If you insist on being a vulgar person, you will regret it when you will grow old in the future. ”

At this time, the guy brought a few side dishes, which seemed to be nothing more than some cold dishes such as sauced beef and shredded rabbit legs, but remembering that Xiao Su was pregnant now, he added another quail soup.

As soon as the man left, Guan Ren said: "You see, if there is no accident, this guy can live to be fifty or sixty years old, seventy or eighty years old." Isn't it very good to marry a wife and have children and live a peaceful and stable life? How is Monk Jueyuan? The Tao is deep enough, isn't it? Isn't it just the same fate? Not even a whole corpse has been left. In order to seek immortality, the world does not hesitate to take gold and swallow white jade, but what will happen in the end? In the end, it is not as long as the innkeepers. ”

The old man poured a bowl of wine sullenly, and said angrily: "You can fucking see it, why don't you go to become a monk?"

Guan Ren just smiled and didn't speak.

'Bang bang', there was a high-five from the adjacent table.

There were no guests at the table, but at some point, there was a middle-aged man sitting, his temperament was quite good, with green clothes and black boots. Xu was just here, and before the guy came to inquire about the food and drink, there was a long sword on the table, and he was now clapping his hands and laughing: "What this brother said is quite in line with my liking, come on, let's have a bowl together." ”

Guan Ren turned his head to look, only to feel that the person's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Zhao Guandi. Although he and Brother Zhao have known each other for a short time, they are already friends of life and death, and they are very affectionate. It's just a short day but separated, and it is inevitable that I will be lost in my heart, but now when I see the person in front of me, I can't help but have some good feelings.

When the Guan saw that there was no wine on his table, he invited him to come and eat with him.

The man was also refreshed, and he picked up his sword and sat down. Buttocks sit on the right side of the bench, raise your foot and step on the left side of the bench, looking like a street outlet. Leaning his sword against the edge of the table, he slapped the table and shouted, "Man, serve the wine." ”

The lame old man at the same table ate the wine in the bowl by himself, and from time to time glanced at the man in the green shirt and black boots, but he never said anything.

Soon it was dark, the store was lit with candles, and the number of drinkers gradually decreased, and finally only the table of guests was left.

There were a few empty wine jars on the table, and Xiao Su advised the people to drink less, after all, he was injured and vomited blood during the day, and his health was not good.

Guan Ren became more and more excited the more he drank, chatting with the man very speculatively, and said arrogantly: "It's not in the way, I'm happy." ”

The long sword leaning on the table, the sword body was sealed in the sheath and made a light sound, the man quietly stretched out his hand and gently brushed it, and the long sword suddenly fell silent.

Guan Ren was a little drunk, his originally pale face was slightly red, and the smell of wine gushed when he spoke, "The younger brother's name is Guan Ren, Guan Guan Ju Dove's Guan." I don't know what to call my eldest brother?"

The man in Tsing Yi drank a lot of wine, drank five or six jars of wine in a row, but his face still did not change, and he smiled happily: "Brother Xian remembers, brother, I am 'Ying's surname' and 'Zhao', and my name is Yubai." ”

Guan Ren brought a bowl of wine to his mouth, suddenly froze, the wine did not move in the bowl, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "There is such a coincidence?"

Zhao Yubai said: "Oh? ”

Guan Ren said with a smile: "The eldest brother doesn't know, the younger brother is fortunate to get acquainted with a brother, who looks quite similar to the eldest brother, and what is even more coincidental is that my brother is also from the Zhao clan." But it's a pity, he's gone from here now, otherwise, wouldn't it be nice for the three of us to make an oath in this inn and become brothers?"

Zhao Yubai's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he asked, "What's your brother's name?"

"Brother Zhao Guan. ”

Zhao Yubai showed a look that was really like this.

Guan Ren put down the wine cup, "Could it be that the eldest brother also knows my brother Zhao?" He thought, after all, the official brother Zhao is the prince of a country, and he must know him very well.

Zhao Yubai couldn't help laughing, "Brother Xian, the Brother Zhao you are talking about, when you see the eldest brother, you have to call Lao Tzu obediently." ”

Guan Ren drank too much wine, reacted for a moment, suddenly woke up, stood up suddenly, slightly unstable under his feet, immediately clasped his fists and bowed, and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Haihan, please forgive the little nephew for being rude." ”

Zhao Yubai pulled him to sit down, waved his hand and said, "Eh, don't learn those sour and rotten scholars, let's still talk about them as brothers." ”

Guan Ren hurriedly said: "Big ...... Uncle, Ling Lang and I have suffered from rare good brothers, how can we be commensurate with Zunjia as brothers?

Zhao Yubai waved his hand and smiled: "As the saying goes, the rivers and lakes have no age, and heroes have no generation, since the two of us are like-minded, it is better to make friends in this inn and become brothers." In the future, when you meet with the official brother, he calls him second uncle, and you call him a virtuous nephew, so what's the matter?"

Guan people are embarrassed: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not really. ”

Zhao Yubai was a bold character, so he couldn't help but say, pulled up the customs officer and walked outside the store.

At that time, the night was deep, the moon was half-occult, and the stars were twinkling.

Zhao Yu knelt down with a white face, took advantage of the situation, and asked him to kneel down.

The two emperors vowed never to lose each other, and then bowed eight times to the north.

The innkeeper was a clever man, and served everyone a bowl of wine.

The two of them took the wine and filled the bowl, and then threw the empty bowl on the ground, both of them feeling very happy.
