When Xu Rampant learned about Xu Sheng's current situation, it was really unbelievable. He sat for a while, thinking in his heart that he was lucky to come back in time, if it was a few days late, I was afraid that his dear brother would starve to death.

The two sat dumbfounded, silent for a long time, until there was a "grunt", Xu Yan stood up awkwardly, ran to the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, and untied a package from the tall horse he rode back from nowhere.

When he entered the house again, he had already pulled out a few shriveled flatbreads from his package.

"Just eat this?"

"If you don't eat it, forget it. ”

In this way, the two brothers, who met for the first time in five years, ate cold water, nibbled on baked cakes, and ate a meal that was not very delicious, but was very needed. Moreover, after eating, I still can't get enough.

"That..."Xu Yan, who only felt half-full, wiped his lips and looked out from time to time, looking a little anxious. He wanted to say something, but he didn't.

"Let's go, there's nothing going on at home. Xu Sheng knew what he wanted to say, and his eldest brother was going to travel all over the world again.

"One more thing. ”

"What?"

Xu Rampant took out a small black wooden box from his arms, opened it, and gently pushed it in front of Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng looked down and saw that in the box was a token as black as ink. He picked it up and looked at it, and by the dim light of the room, he found that there was a very majestic "Xu" character on the token, and turned it over, and there were three wolf heads on the back.

"This is?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"The Xu family's guest order" Xu Yan said solemnly: "After I leave, take this to the Xu family to get a good errand." ”

"What?" Xu Sheng sneered twice, and said with a little playfulness: "Do you want to find a promotion rank for me?" He had his own ideas, so he was unwilling to work hard in the high-ranking clan.

"I know your ambitions, but ......" Xu Yan paused, and said with some embarrassment: "With my brother, fame and fortune have nothing to do with you in this life." ”

"You ......" Xu Sheng was stunned, and he had some bad guesses, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say them.

"I'm leaving. Xu Sheng knew what he was going to say, he didn't want to listen, and he didn't have to listen, so he clasped his hands and said loudly: "

Take care"

"Take Care"

"Smack"

Pushing the door away, without looking back, Xu Ryan walked quite neatly.

"Why the hell are you like today?" Xu Sheng looked straight out the door and asked himself.

A milk compatriot, but it is the opposite. Xu Sheng felt cowardly, but his brother was bold, he thought he was dull, but his brother was cunning and changeable, he was familiar with his brother but did not know his heart, but his brother seemed to know him well. Now for some reason, Xu Sheng feels that the two of them are becoming stranger and stranger, and they are drifting apart.

People often say: close to each other, but Xu Sheng and Xu Rant, the two closest relatives, are far from each other.

On the winding mountain road, a horse galloped, raising layers of smoke and dust. On the galloping horse, a burly and handsome man turned his head from time to time, looked at the barely visible mountain village, and whispered in a deep voice: "Brother, don't blame me, there are some things you don't know, and I really can't say it!"

In the early morning of the next day, a large number of people came to the small mountain village, all of them officers and soldiers, about 20 or so. came, and there was no second word, just search. Every family, no matter who it is, no matter what they are doing, whether they are sleeping with their daughter-in-law in their arms, or pouting their butts and shitting, they are all kicked out. Stoves, water tanks, cellars, beams...... The officers and men must not turn the world upside down and turn the bottom upside down.

There is no need to ask, Xu Sheng also knows that this is the one who came to find his brother, but he doesn't know what he committed to cause such a big battle.

Homicide!

Slaughter the door!

When Xu Sheng knew, it was when a large group of officers and soldiers surrounded him and questioned him.

Xu Rampant was alone, under the blue sky and white sun, one person slaughtered a dart gate, a total of one hundred and thirteen people, including women and children!

How so?

Xu Sheng only felt that the sky was spinning, and for a while, his qi and blood were not smooth, and he fainted directly.

By the time Xu Sheng woke up again, the officers and soldiers had already gone. I really can't get any useful information from him, and I don't know if I ask anything.

At this moment, around his bedside were a group of simple villagers, and when they saw Xu Sheng wake up, they were full of surprise.

"It's good to wake up, I'm scared to death, I thought something was wrong. ”

"Alas, Xu Sheng, you have to think about it, after all, it has nothing to do with you!"

"What do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you, you have to make up for your weakness now. ”

......

Talking and gossiping, boiling and reversing. Xu Sheng only felt a buzzing sound when he heard it, and his head hurt. He was very grateful for the care and care of these old neighbors, but he couldn't bear it, so he could only try to squeeze out a smile and politely said: "No need, thank you, I just want to be alone now." ”

"It's okay, after all, this thing is a big blow to you, it's better to be alone," someone responded. After a while, they all left, leaving Xu Sheng alone on the bed, looking sluggish.

One person slaughters one family, and there are women and children, where is it done by human beings? It is clearly an animal act.

How could his brother be so cruel, so vicious, so orc-like?

Besides, it doesn't make sense at all! How can one person slaughter 113 people? Could it be that the more than 100 people are all stretching their necks and waiting to be slaughtered? A dart gate with 100 mouths is so weak in combat effectiveness? Are the dart masters all muddy?

Xu Sheng's heart was like a knife, but his thinking was quite agile, and he thought of many unreasonable places for a while.

Although his brother is brave in martial arts, he practiced the style for two years when he was a child, and if he wants to say that three or five people may be able to clean it up, but if he practices martial arts in one hundred and ten mouths, if he is right, he will only be cleaned up. Even if he has been wandering the rivers and lakes in the past few years and entering the realm quickly, shouldn't he be like this? Besides, do you have to do it during the day to kill people, for fear that others will not know?

Xu family!

Suddenly, Xu Sheng thought of the key point, pinched his thigh, stood up in an instant, and turned out the black token from the rags.

He decided to go to the Xu family to have a look, and he couldn't go if he didn't go! First, he suspected that his brother had been instructed by the Xu family, and second, he also needed a place to stay.

"Jokhang Law": Relatives who are guilty of capital crimes are not allowed to enter the office. This sentence completely extinguished Xu Sheng's thoughts. He is a scholar, and his biggest ideal in life is to be an official, a general, and a fief. It's not that he's vulgar, he also has the ambition to transcend the above, but he thinks that those are just legends, which can be imagined and cannot be touched. The path he has drawn for himself has always been only to be an official, in fact, it is not only him, ninety percent of all scholars are like this, the wind of the times, and the times.

Originally, he had long wanted to go to the imperial examination and wanted to try the depth of the water. When his parents were alive, he was still young, and he felt that his talent might not be enough, and when he thought that he had learned about the same, his family was ruined, his family wealth was scattered, and he didn't have a haunt if he wanted to go. Now, he carried a large piece of gold in his arms, and he had it, but he was not accepted.

Oh my life!

You can't exceed what you want, you can't exceed what you want!

It's all fate!

What's more, Xu Sheng thought about it, the people in the dart gate can be regarded as mixed in the rivers and lakes, and there must be some friends, as Xu Yan's brother, maybe he will be found by the enemy that day. The Xu family, as in it, must be stable.

Moreover, although the capital crime is not punished, if Xu Rampant is not caught for a long time, Xu Sheng, as his only relative, is likely to be forced to labor.

Xu Sheng couldn't stand this.

The next day, Xu Sheng got up very early, took a hard bath, took an ox cart from a neighboring village, and bumped for half a day to Pingling County. There, he first exchanged a whole piece of gold for loose silver, and then went to the silk village to make a dress, and after dressing neatly, he asked for a good table in the largest restaurant in Pingling County, and after eating and drinking, he hired a comfortable carriage and hurried to the county seat.

The official road is cloudy and windy, and the summer rain is never accurate, just now the sky is still clear, and in a blink of an eye, it is full of dark clouds.

Xu Sheng originally drank two bottles of Huadiao, and when the wind blew, he was a little sober. The wind gusted and fell, making him half drunk and half awake, and it was very uncomfortable. He looked into the distance, saw that the sky was dark, the sky was heavy, and he couldn't help but feel sad from it, and sighed that his life was drifting and his fate was ill-fated, and he started to write poems with his heart:

The sky is heavy and dense with clouds,

Flying sand and rocks are empty.

Don't be frightened and flee everywhere,

I'm the only one left to pass by.

Xu Sheng chanted it again, felt that it was not good, and composed another song:

Looking at the eyes, the four fields are vast, and I can't prevent my sadness. The east wind is broken, the flowers are dilapidated, the heart is lonely, and the emptiness is thin. Sorrow and sorrow.

Bow your head, drunk and suppress your eyes, the grass shakes with the wind but remains. The stone also moves, and the sand is also many, but this is affectionate and unwilling to leave. Yoyoyo.
