Guan Ren and his eldest brother, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of Great Qin, left the Broken Jade City together and went all the way north.

After a few days of trekking, the road was full of wilderness, but fortunately, the two of them prepared enough wine and food before leaving, and there was Kunshan purple jade that was easy to carry, and there was wine, meat and fresh fruit.

During this period, the two also set up a firewood fire by a wild spring and boiled a pot of old tea. At that time, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the four fields were vast, and the two sat in the declining grassland, and the broken geese crossed the autumn. No one recited poetry, but it was still very elegant.

Guan Ren has been in doubt for many days, and that day Zhao Guandi once said that Guan Ren's appearance is very similar to his uncle Zhao Anling.

The world is big, and the people who look similar don't know how many, and a small matter should not be remembered, but the person concerned has an unknown background, and since he was salvaged from the coffin by the palace elder last year, he has not been able to remember the past, and he has a lot of doubts in his heart.

At the moment, he simply had nothing to do, so he asked Zhao Baiyu: "Big brother, am I really very similar to your brother who has been lost for many years?"

Zhao Baiyu was also hesitating to mention this matter, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, if he took the liberty of mentioning it, he was afraid that people would think too much, thinking that he would worship him that night, and he would have a utilitarian heart.

Now that Guan Ren has opened his mouth, Zhao Baiyu has no worries, but when he thinks of his brother Ling, who has been lost for many years, he is inevitably stunned in his heart, and sighs faintly: "Like, like it, it's like being carved out of a mold." When the eldest brother saw you that night, he couldn't help but be in a trance. ”

Guan Ren nodded, and when he heard the soft sigh, his heart was also infected and a little lost, and then said: "But I heard from the official brother that I and him are just similar in appearance, but the conversation is far worse. ”

Zhao Baiyu's eyes were far away, as if he was recalling an event a long, long time ago, and said faintly: "When Brother Ling and I were young, we traveled to Kyushu hand in hand. At that time, Brother Ling, with superb swordsmanship and unparalleled demeanor, was the first son of Zhongzhou in the world, and I, as a brother, stood on the side, but it was very bleak. ”

Guan Ren inquired: "Then why did you lose any news later? Great Qin has a strong national strength, and he mobilized people to look for it, but he couldn't find it?"

Zhao Baiyu said: "Brother Ling's temperament is very different from ordinary people, and his life is not close to women, so there are some rumors on the rivers and lakes, saying that he has a habit of breaking his sleeves, I don't believe it!! Brother Ling has always admired Taoism's indisputability and freedom, and he is very disgusted with abandoning power to seek the city. Later, I became the prince of Great Qin, and Brother Ling became his free immortal and traveled all over the world. Within a few years, I heard that he had entered a school palace in Guru Prefecture, and there was no news. Some people say that he died in the 'Red Lotus World' of the School Palace, and some people say that he is still alive, but he just doesn't want to get out of that small world. I have sent several times to look for them, but unfortunately none of them have made it alive to bring the news out. ”

Guan Ren was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Since I have sworn to my eldest brother, I have nothing to hide. ”

At the moment, he told him about his life experience, how to live in the coffin and go down the stream, how he was rescued in the cold river last year, how he was trapped in the surrounding mountains, how to communicate with the news inside and outside, how to cross the Guanshan Mountain, and determined to read the world.

Guan Ren told the truth, but Zhao Baiyu heard that his expression was uncertain, and he had many ridiculous thoughts in his heart for no reason, and then shook his head and put all these untrue speculations behind him.

The two sat opposite each other and drank tea.

Zhao Baiyu suddenly thought that there was a small city in the northwest adjacent to the Broken Jade City, which was the place where he and Zhao Anling traveled hand in hand in the past. At the moment, he said: "Good brother, the eldest brother originally planned to take you all the way north, and you can arrive in Longye City in a few months, and then you can take the Tianzhou of the Lu surname to Yunan Tiandu, and when you get there, there will be a star gate to and from all parts of Kyushu." But the eldest brother has changed his mind now, let's go west first and make a detour to reject the wolf pass. The eldest brother in that place has been there once when he was young, and there is a good restaurant, and the eldest brother wants to take you to try it, what do you think?"

Although Guan Ren has the ambition to travel all over Kyushu and read the world, he is just a newcomer and a hairy boy with insufficient experience, if he doesn't follow his eldest brother Zhao Baiyu all the way, I'm afraid he won't even be able to figure out the direction. It's just to travel around and improve your knowledge, where to go, not to go? ”

And they went on a long journey, and on the tenth day two great mountains appeared at the end of the flat earth, and between them a city was built, and the pass was cut off. The city gate stands high, there are 30 zhang, the whole is simple and heavy, slightly see the metal color, it must be extremely strong, but somehow, one of the iron gates actually breaks a big hole from the top, and the stubble is still new.

Zhao Baiyu sighed when he saw it: "This divine bow surnamed Zhang is really powerful, even the city gate forged by the meteorite of the heavenly star is difficult to stop him with an arrow." ”

Guan Ren was listening to the audit, and asked curiously: "The person that the eldest brother said is Brother Zhang Zhanri?"

"Oh?

After the two entered the pass, they went to the city, and the Guan people simply told the eldest brother about the demon land.

Now the sun is a little westward, it is just after noon, Zhao Baiyu said proudly: "Good brother, my brother will take you to eat this famous restaurant in the wolf rejection pass today." This restaurant ......"

A quarter of an hour later, the two stood in front of a small shop with half-collapsed eaves on the corner of the street, and the word 'first' was faintly recognizable on the only remaining half of the plaque. The roof of the store has been repaired many times, and the sky still can't be hidden. Now is the time for dinner, there are only a pitiful three or five tables and stools, but they are still not satisfied, and the front door of the store is full of birds.

Guan Ren blinked, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed: "The most famous restaurant that the eldest brother said is here?"

Zhao Baiyu took a few steps back, retreated to the center of the street, looked around and looked, a little strange, and said to himself: "The first place on the street, there should be no mistake." ”

walked back and patted Guan Ren on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's right here, their rotten meat noodles are a must, wait and taste it." ”

Since this shop is highly respected by the eldest brother, the Guan people will naturally not dislike it.

The two of them went into the store, but they didn't see any men coming to greet them, but they saw a sleepy young man in his twenties lying behind the counter, with a pot of wine in his hand, presumably drunk.

Zhao Baiyu shouted in the store: "Man!"

The young man on the counter was excited, his eyes hadn't opened yet, and his body was already busy standing up, "Hey, guest officer, what are you going to eat?" ”

Zhao Baiyu sat down on the bench with a golden knife, his butt fell to the left, and he raised his leg to step on the right end of the bench, "Two bowls of rotten meat noodles, three catties of sauce beef, ten catties of wine, you go and weigh a few hot dishes." The wine should be served quickly, so let's go. ”

The young man answered, 'Goot,' and turned to the back.

Zhao Baiyu looked at the Guan people in the seat, and couldn't tell where it was, so he always felt a little awkward.

The man brought a large plate of beef sauce and two jars of good wine. Zhao Baiyu grabbed a pair of bamboo chopsticks and clamped them under his armpit, and pulled them out violently, the bamboo chopsticks must have been washed, and the water stains were not dry, so he left two conspicuous watermarks on the fabric under his armpits.

Guan Ren didn't care about that much, and just picked it up and wanted to pick up the vegetables. When Zhao Baiyu saw this, he immediately understood, why he always felt a little awkward when he looked at Guan Ren, and immediately said: "Brother, let's eat without hurry." The eldest brother asked you, what do you say this person who walks the rivers and lakes should look like?"

Guan Ren put the half-sandwiched beef back on the plate, thought for a while, and said, "What the people in the rivers and lakes look like." ”

"Not bad!" Zhao Baiyu said with a smile: "But in the eyes of the eldest brother, the brother's demeanor is not like a Jianghu person. ”

"What does that look like?"

"Like a weak scholar! Like a son of a family, but not like a Jianghu person. ”

Guan Ren examined himself and asked, "How can it be like?"

Zhao Baiyu smiled when he heard this: "This martial artist is heroic and proud, and the swordsman has a unique style. Jianghu people can't get rid of the words 'heroic dry clouds'. Look at you, you sit in a proper manner, neither heroic nor romantic, too honest. ”

When Guan Ren heard this, he looked himself up and down again, and then asked, "Then how should I sit down?"

Zhao Baiyu patted his right leg that stepped on the stool, raised his head and smiled, "Na, like the eldest brother, people sit on one side and step on the other...... Well, yes, it's like that. Also, do you see this pair of chopsticks? Wipe your clothes...... Not bad, that's it. ”

Guan sat on the bench with bamboo chopsticks under his armpits, leaving two lines of wet prints.

The two of them ate beef and drank it in a big bowl. After a cup of tea, I didn't see the guy come to serve the food for a long time. Zhao Baiyu raised his head and drained a bowl of wine, and said, "Good brother, shout quickly, urge that guy." ”

Guan Ren put down the wine bowl and shouted to the back: "Little second brother?"

The corners of Zhao Baiyu's mouth trembled when he heard this, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My stupid brother, if you shout like this, he can't hear it." ”

Sure enough, after shouting for more than half a day, no one responded.

"How do you shout that?"

"Slap the table !!"

"What?

"Yes, slap the table, slap hard! Look at the big brother!"

Zhao Baiyu raised his hand and slapped it on the long wooden table, and the plates and wine cups that shook when he landed jumped again and again, banging loudly, and then shouted: "Man, is the dish I want ready?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the young man from before hurriedly ran over with two plates of hot dishes, "The dishes are coming, the two masters, please use them slowly, there are a few things in the back, bring them immediately." ”

Guan Ren was dumbfounded, this method of slapping the table actually worked!

The two of them drank from noon until dusk, the four walls of this small shop were ventilated, and it was cold at the moment, the thin wind blew over, and the candle shadows swayed.

Guan Ren drank a lot of wine, and his body was a little hot, and he heard the eldest brother say that drinking in this kind of restaurant in the summer is to be shirtless. He stepped on the stool with one leg, and the more he drank, the more he felt very comfortable, comfortable, and happy to sit like this.
