The sky is full of stars, and the night is as cool as water. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The hall of Maple Grove was brightly lit, and everyone was sitting there. On the table, there was no pomp and circumstance on weekdays, and there were no appetizers or meat today, only a few lonely wine jars were placed there.
Tie Qi poured wine for everyone instead of Liu Mu, took out a few ingots of sufficient silver from his arms, put them in front of the fat Xiaobai and others, and said: "Everyone has worked hard for so many years, I thank you for the young master for being able to get up early and be greedy for the inn, you all have this silver, Fenglin has to be temporarily closed late." “
Liu Mu didn't squeak, just watched quietly there, he could see that the fat man didn't care, but Xiaobai was a little reluctant. No matter when, people with skills always have something to eat, Xiaobai may be more worried about where to find the next job, it is estimated that with his activity, it is better to go to the county than to stay here.
"Shopkeeper, why did the good ones close the door? This business is still passable, it's a pity to close the door!" Xiao Bai plucked up the courage to ask Tie Qi.
Tie Qi glanced at Liu Mu, he didn't know how to say it, seeing that Liu Mu didn't say anything, he had to say: "We have something to deal with, you all know, our inn is usually entertained by high-rollers, if we all leave, no one will be shocked and something will happen, otherwise it will be left to you!"
"When will the shopkeeper come back, we are all waiting for our Fenglin to reopen the door at night. Xiaobai asked with some eagerness.
Liu Mu was a little troublesome, interrupted Tie Qi, who was about to speak, and said: "After drinking this bowl of wine, it's all gone, Xiaobai, you take the money to do a little business, don't wait." After speaking, he took the lead in picking up the wine bowl, signaled to everyone a little unaccustomedly, and turned his head and left the seat after taking a sip.
Tie Qi looked at Xiao Bai, who was a little gloomy, thought for a while and then said, "Okay, let's all disperse." Take all the money you have given you, and see you later. When the others left the inn, he quietly caught up with Xiao Bai, took out a full fifty taels of silver ingots from his arms, and forcibly stuffed them to Xiao Bai: "Listen to the young master, take the silver and go to a little business, don't be a buddy anymore." After speaking, ignoring Xiaobai's thousand thanks, he turned around and plunged into the darkness.
......
This night, Fan Yan was naturally tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep. In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was completely bright, Fan Yan got up quietly, and Su Ling, who was still asleep without alarming, quietly went out and rushed in the direction of the inn. What he didn't know was that Su Ling had already opened her eyes when he closed the door, sighed silently and closed her eyes again, she knew what Fan Yan was going to do, and she had no intention of stopping her.
After a while, Fan Yan rushed to the door of the inn, at this time, the long-lasting lonely lamp at the entrance of Fenglin evening had turned black, and the signboards and couplets he had hung at the beginning had disappeared, and a carriage pulled by strong tendons outside the door stood there alone, the same as him. Before he could step into the inn, Liu Mu had already walked out, and Shi still followed closely with the pig iron knife, not leaving an inch. The iron flag carried a large bag and a small salute, covering half of the tall body.
Liu Mu didn't expect Fan Yan to come, and was slightly surprised, but he only nodded slightly to Fan Yan and got into the carriage. Fan Yan wanted to reach out and pat the stone on the shoulder, but suddenly stopped there, he didn't know what to say, and went straight to the stone to pass by. A little self-deprecating, he took over the burden blocking the sight of the iron flag, and had no choice but to say: "I'll come!"
Suddenly recovering his gaze, and hearing Fan Yan's voice again, Tie Qi was a little surprised: "Old Fan, are you here?" Hurry up and get a few more pieces for me, and accompany me to lead the horse later." “
This didn't treat him as an outsider, which made Fan Yan want to cry a little, and with a little red eyes, he snatched a few burdens from Tieqi's body, and didn't make a sound, and walked towards the carriage with his head down. Shi didn't have any intention of taking a hand, just stood beside the carriage with a cold face and a knife without speaking, Fan Yan quickly put a few bags into the empty carriage, and called softly: "Brother Mu, I'll send you." “
Liu Mu sighed, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, and said loudly: "No matter why you returned to Xiaomiao Town, the situation is a little chaotic now, you have to be careful." “
"I'm in my province!" After struggling for a while, Fan Yan didn't tell the secret in his heart after all, but just whispered.
As Tie Qi entered the backyard of the inn, he took out the horse that had already been saddled from the stable, watching Tie Qi carefully check every door, Fan Yan didn't make a sound, this may be the last one, he can still remember the three of them when they first arrived in the town, everything seems to be yesterday. Tie Qi walked over and took the reins of the horse, beckoned Fan Yan and walked out. After a while, he stopped, turned back and said mysteriously to Fan Yan: "I left you a few jars of wine in the wine cellar, I didn't tell anyone, when you are hungry, go and drink a meal." “
Fan Yan didn't hold back after all, secretly shed tears, wiped it off without waiting for Tieqi to find it, and said with a smile: "How do you know that I'm good?"
"Cut!" Tie Qi sneered and said, "How many opportunities do you think there will be in the future to be able to drink the general's drunkenness brewed by Brother Mu himself." Save yourself some drink, there are only a few jars!" Without waiting to take two steps, Tie Qi turned back with a cautious face, and said to Fan Yan: "You must keep in mind what the young master said just now, you must be careful, you can let the young master avoid it, and say that the wind is blowing, I'm afraid that there will be some trouble." You don't want to talk about your business, I hope you're not in any game!" After speaking, he glanced at Fan Yan deeply, pulled up the reins of the horse and left directly.
After Fan Yan came back to his senses, the carriage had already moved away slowly, and it looked like a small black dot from a distance. sighed wistfully, turned around and walked in the direction of home, but he never thought that Su Ling had come behind him since he didn't know when, reached out and patted Fan Yan's arm and said, "Let's go home!"
Fan Yan took a deep breath and said loudly, "Yes, let's go home!"
Liu Mu didn't know where else they were going, but he just asked where Tieqi wanted to go the most, and without getting an answer, he turned his head and asked Shishi, "Where do you think we should go?"
"Wherever the young master goes, the stone will go!" the stone said calmly on his horse in the stunned gaze of Tie Qi.
"Then where should the young master go?" Liu Mu asked with some amusement, he felt that the stone would definitely tell him a satisfactory answer.
Shi thought for a long time, and just when Tie Qi thought that Liu Mu had asked in vain, Shi Hao said: "A place where you can cut off many heads!"
Driven by the iron flag, the carriage gradually walked into the morning light, leaving a vague laughter that Liu Mu had not seen for many years, and that laughter had a hint of pleasant killing intent. Since that day, the general's drunkenness has never been tasted by the passing high-rollers, but they are fortunate to have tasted a different kind of drunkenness in the rivers and lakes, which can make people's souls fall silent and never wake up again.
