Pedestrians were vague on the road in front of the building, and the pastry vendor was about to catch up with the car and return home, when he was suddenly stopped by a teenager, "Uncle, I want to ask you something!"

"What's the matter?"

"Where does the city lord live?"

"Oh, stay in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"And where is the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Over there, I'll show you. Walk all the way down the road ......"

"I'm tired. ”

The boy walked away, and the stall owner shouted from behind, "Why don't you buy some candied fruit and bring it back?"

The young man didn't stop, and said from a distance: "If the uncle is willing to wait, he will wait for me for half an hour, and I will take care of all the pastries in your car." ”

The night breeze is slightly cold, and the crescent moon slowly moves among the clouds.

The owner of the pastry stall, his hands were inserted in his sleeves, and now it was cold and gradually frozen, he couldn't help but sneeze, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and then stomped his feet, walked around a few times, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, there is no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well. ”

"Uncle, this old saying is not necessarily true, you don't want to underestimate people, am I not here?" The young man came from the corner of the street, with a bulging bag tied behind him, and he didn't know what it contained.

The stall owner smiled and changed his words: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I'm talking to myself alone, hehe...... Talking to himself, it's not a scolding little brother. ”

The young man didn't care, and said to the stall owner: "Take the snacks in the car and follow me to get the money." After speaking, he entered the Xiangfeng Building.

The stall owner followed the young man, carrying three bamboo baskets full of pastries, and the two went straight to the third floor.

It was dim outside, and it was not easy to see clearly, but now the lights in this small building were bright, as bright as day, and the stall owner was shocked to find that the yellow brocade burden on the young man's back was clearly the outline of a human head, and it was bleeding out uncontrollably, so frightened that he almost fell downstairs.

The door was pushed open, and the closer shouted, "Big brother pays." Then he grabbed the wrist of the woman in white and said, "Come with me." ”

The two ran all the way downstairs, and the woman was grabbed by the young man by a thin wrist, and the other hand held a white dress, without speaking, and looked at the young man's back as she ran.

The two stopped under the willow tree by the lake, and Guan Ren pointed to the west and said, "Look. ”

The woman looked in the direction of her finger and saw a raging fire burning in the northwest sky of the third watch.

"You set the fire?" said the woman in white.

When Guan Ren heard this, he said in his heart, "It is indeed good." Then he nodded: "I slaughtered that beast and lit the city lord's mansion with a fire." ”

Guan Ren said, untying the burden of yellow brocade behind his body, and now the yellow brocade was black and red that had been soaked in blood.

When the four corners of the burden were opened, a dazzling human head was seen, and the hair was unkempt.

When the woman saw it, her expression suddenly became a little strange, as if she had killed the wrong person.

Guan Ren hurriedly asked, "What, isn't it him?"

The woman's expression eased and smiled: "Ah, yes, it's him." ”

Guan Ren took Huang Jin to pick up the head, threw his arms into the lake, smashed a large handful of splashes, and rippled away.

"Childe is cold, I'll go get the wine!"

Now the night wind is coming, the cold moon hangs alone on the lake, the world is quiet, and the barking of dogs in the distance is heard across the lake.

The two sat on the willow bank and chatted and drank, neither of them asked each other's names, and they felt that life was like a wanderer, gathering and scattering was impermanent, and there was no need to record all the people they met in this life on the famous genealogy. I just remember that someone dressed up as Jing Ke this night, and someone played a tune to say goodbye, so it's good.

"Childe is a ranger?"

Guan Da gulped down, wiped his mouth, shook his head and smiled: "I have a good brother who once shot through the gate of this wolf pass with an arrow, but the rules in his clan are very big, and they are not allowed to harm the lives of the living. I killed people today, firstly, for the sake of the people of the city, and secondly, for my brother to do what he wanted to do but could not do. ”

Good memory has long been drunk, Zhao Baiyu stood by the window, quietly watching Guan Ren and the woman talking and laughing and drinking, unconsciously, Guan Ren looked on his back and put the wine on his back and the laughter, which was seven or eight points similar to Zhao Anling back then.

Zhao Baiyu was in a trance for a while, and went down the window with wine.

Guan Ren shouted 'big brother', and Zhao Baiyu smiled and said, "Where did the brother go?"

Guan Ren pointed to the west, "Killed a man and lit a fire." ”

At present, the fire in the City Lord's Mansion has been saved, but there is still endless smoke billowing up.

Zhao Baiyu had something to say, but he didn't know where to speak.

The woman in the white shirt was a discerning woman, she saluted the two of them, and said back: "The two of you talk slowly, I'll go back first." ”

After the woman left, the two drank under the moonlight. Guan Ren saw that Zhao Baiyu looked indecisive, and he wanted to speak again, so he asked, "Big brother has something on his mind?"

Zhao Baiyu first took a sip of wine, as if to raise his courage, and then said: "Brother, have you ever thought about who you are in that lost memory?"

Guan Ren was stunned for a moment, listening to the words of the eldest brother, it seemed that he suddenly had two selves, if the lost memory was revived one day, would he still be the current him?

Zhao Baiyu saw that his expression became quite strange for a while, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't be careful, I just saw you talking and laughing and drinking with that girl upstairs, and your demeanor is very similar to my brother who has been missing for many years. ”

Guan Ren shook his head and smiled: "Isn't it a shame for the eldest brother to speak like this? Besides, when I was trapped in the Jade City with my official brother, he tried it with Zhao Anling's sword, and asked me to call the name of 'Bu Rang Mei' a few times, and the result, the eldest brother also saw it." Guan Ren spread his hands, apparently not summoning the long blade.

Zhao Baiyu paused for a moment, and then laughed, "I didn't expect that the kid of the official brother to have such scheming, but he is also clever." ”

Guan Ren didn't know what to think of, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of Mr. Ai's name?"

This Mr. Ai is the name used by the ghostly old woman on the river that day, the head of the white bone boat, when calling Guan Ren. In hindsight, could it be that he really had some relationship with Mr. Na Ai?

Zhao Baiyu pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "In this world of Kyushu, there are many Li people, and this Mr. Ai's name has never been heard of. He paused for a moment, and then said: "But don't worry, if you really want to inquire about this person, after my brother returns to the court, I will immediately post the list, and there will definitely be some clues." ”

Guan Guan's heart warmed and he was sincerely grateful, and then asked another person, "Then the eldest brother has heard the name Ti Lang Po? ”

Zhao Baiyu's expression changed suddenly, and he asked, "So, have you seen that ghost mother-in-law?"

Guan Ren nodded slightly.

Zhao Baiyu hurriedly asked again: "What did you see with your own eyes?"

Guan Daodao: "I saw it with my own eyes! But brother, I have promised the mother-in-law not to tell what happened that night, and ask my eldest brother to forgive me." ”

Zhao Baiyu's expression gradually calmed down, patted Guan Ren on the shoulder, and said, "Since you have promised others, the eldest brother will naturally not ask you to break your promise." Who is this Mr. Ai, the eldest brother really doesn't know, but the ghost mother-in-law who is carrying an old lantern, the eldest brother has heard of it. I'm afraid you don't believe it, but more than half of the reason why Brother Ling and I traveled all over Kyushu back then was to track down clues about Ti Lang Po. As for the reason behind this......" Zhao Baiyu shook his head and sighed faintly: "Brother Ling, like you today, only said that he promised others, not to spread the matter to others, and asked me to forgive me." ”

Guan Ren saw that Zhao Baiyu's face was very depressed for a while, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he picked up the wine jug and said: "Life must be happy, and when you are unhappy, you must be happy." Come, I respect big brother!"

Zhao Baiyu's pride rose sharply in his heart, and he laughed and said, "Good brother, come, do it!"

The two drank each other near the lake, and the bright moon gradually fell, becoming transparent at dawn.

Guan people leaned on the willow of the boat in front of the shore, the boat moored on the lake and did not move, the lantern shadows on the water surface were extinguished at a certain moment, the sky was white, the lake was foggy, and the morning birds shuttled through the fog to feed.

Suddenly, the white mist flew like a surging bird, and a sword came from the west.

Between heaven and earth, the wind hunts, the Pinghu Lake sets off white waves, a little sword rainbow only flashes in the western sky, and the next moment has soared to the front of the people, and the long sword brings up a wave of air to collapse the forest and the water column.

The tip of the sword hangs half a foot in front of the passer, the sword body is like a crescent moon, not letting the woman moth eyebrows, and the edge of the blade is as bright as frost and snow.

Guan Ren was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know where the divine soldier flew from.

Zhao Baiyu looked at the sword, and then at Guan Ren, his face could not hide his shock, and muttered: "Isn't this Brother Ling's sword, don't let your eyebrows?"

Guan Ren woke up at the moment, carefully held the hilt of the sword and struck a sword flower in the air, and the sword momentum was smooth, not like the person who used the sword at the beginning.

Zhao Baiyu was pleasantly surprised, pressed Guan Ren's shoulder, and shouted: "Brother!" I don't know if the shout is Guan Ren, or Zhao Anling, who has been lost for many years.

Guan Ren saw that on the spine of the sword of the snow, the words 'do not let the eyebrows' were engraved with the seal of the insect and bird book, and the strokes were tortuous, which was very good-looking.

"Big brother!" Guan Ren said in a daze: "This sword ...... How...... How did you find me?"

Zhao Baiyu was ninety percent sure in his heart that the person in front of him was very likely to be Zhao Anling, but he was afraid that he would be difficult to accept for a while, so he didn't dare to speak out, so he said: "Brother, it's better to go back to Daqin with the eldest brother now, and when you get to Xianyang Palace, everything will fall into place." ”

Guan Ren secretly guessed that there must be something stored in the Xianyang Palace that could verify the body, and he didn't know whether he was afraid or how, so he shirked and said: "Brother, this trip to Kyushu can only be a step, how can there be a beginning and no end? Big brother rest assured, when I go to Zhongzhou in the future, I will definitely go to Xianyang Palace to visit my eldest brother." ”

Although the two have only known each other for more than a month, Zhao Baiyu has already learned the stubbornness of the Guan people, and it is not good to say anything more at the moment, so he drinks with the Guan people with his heart.
