There are not many pedestrians on the mountain road to the north. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this place has been close to the border of Song and Liao, for many years the relationship between the two countries has been tense, and the Liao people have gone south from time to time to plunder, causing the people to be miserable. These Liao people often work in teams of more than a dozen people, acting in small groups, and it is extremely difficult to guard against them. Often, as soon as the soldiers of the Song army arrived, the people had already walked cleanly and could not catch anything, so the closer they got to the border, the more desolate they became.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard, and Su Zhuo rode on the horse, walking along the mountain road without hurry. The setting sun was shining on half of his face, warm. The autumn breeze is getting cooler, and it is even more desolate with the returning evening crows. Su Zhuo's face was a little sad, there is no village in front of this place, and there is no store in the back, could it be that he will sleep in the wilderness again tonight?

He had a roll of luggage on his horse, and he was obviously preparing for the long journey. It's just that when he first came to the north, he still didn't expect this place to be desolate like this.

Su Zhuo believed in the horse's reins and let the horse move forward slowly, secretly hoping that he was lucky enough to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain before it got dark. After walking for half an hour at the end of the month, the road ahead gradually widened, and it seemed that I was on an old official road. At the edge of the woods, a thatched roof emerged.

When it was really a wish, Su Zhuo was secretly happy in his heart, and he clamped the horse's belly between his legs and hurried a few steps. A man and a horse walked through the dense forest and rushed to the thatched hut, only to see that it turned out to be a tea stall. Su Zhuo frowned, but what made him even more troubled was that there was already a two-frame carriage parked in front of the tea shed, and four tall horses were tied to it. There were also a few people sitting in the tea shed, drinking tea.

He was hesitant to go in. Before he could make up his mind, a person in the tea shed shouted: "Why didn't Su Gongzi pass through the door?

Not only is it not a man-eating monster who speaks, but his appearance is quite delicate, it is Wei Xiu. But she is more of a headache than a man-eating monster. It's just that she has already spoken, and Su Zhuo naturally can't show weakness, so she has to get off the horse and tie it up and walk into the tea shed.

He walked up to Wei Xiu and said, "Wei ......" only said one word, and then hesitated. Because Wei Xiu was wearing a man's clothes, he was a white-faced boy.

Wei Xiu smiled generously and said, "What's the matter?

Of course, Su Zhuo would not recognize her, when the two met for the first time, Wei Xiu was also dressed as a man, and Su Zhuo still guessed it. Now that the two have fought a few times, they have long been very familiar. Su Zhuo was still outside the tea shed, and he already recognized Wei Xiu.

He laughed and said, "Why did you change into men's clothes again?"

Wei Xiu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said, "When you go out, there is a lot less trouble!"

Su Zhuo sat down opposite Wei Xiu, the tea shed was shabby, and there were only two broken tables. Wei Xiu sat alone at one table, and the other table was sat by four King Kong and four people, and Su Zhuo could only sit at a table with Wei Xiu. Wei Xiu beckoned and asked the tea shed guy to pour the tea again.

Su Zhuo raised his glass and gestured to the four King Kongs sitting next to him, and the four King Kongs all had a straight face, and they didn't have a good face for him. They are Wei Xiu's personal guards, so they naturally know that there is a lot of discord between the two. The four of them are simple-minded, and all their thoughts are written on their faces, and their disgust for Su Zhuo is overflowing. If it weren't for Wei Xiu's politeness to Su Zhuo, maybe they would have rushed up and dismantled Su Zhuo into eight pieces.

Su Zhuo smiled helplessly, and said to himself: "I didn't expect to inadvertently provoke four more wrongdoers!" He raised his glass to the middle-aged coachman sitting in the carriage. Unexpectedly, the man sat on the car, his face expressionless, but lowered the hat on his head.

Wei Xiu poured himself a drink without raising his head, but he seemed to see Su Zhuo's words and deeds clearly. She said lightly: "If you want to be close to a few of them, I'm afraid you're playing the piano to the cow." ”

Su Zhuo naturally realized this, and he was indeed as Wei Xiu said to the Four King Kongs. It's just that the coachman doesn't seem to be like the Four King Kongs, and his mind is not refreshed. Before Juyi Villa, Su Zhuo had already seen this coachman, and he was impressed by his deep internal strength at that time, but he didn't know who this hidden coachman was, and why he was willing to be a coachman?

Su Zhuo asked the doubts in his heart: "Who is he?"

Wei Xiu smiled but didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Why did Su Gongzi come to this north?"

Su Zhuo knew what Wei Xiu didn't want to answer, and it was difficult to ask. But of course, he wouldn't answer her question happily, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's the same purpose as Miss Wei!"

Wei Xiu's face was still like an ancient well, and he couldn't see a little surprise, and said lightly: "Oh, Master Su knows why I came?"

Su Zhuo said: "Coming to the north, naturally for the sake of the north!"

The two were playing dumb riddles, and the guy sitting next to him seemed to be a little unbearable and sighed. When the voice came out, he realized that he had lost his temper, and he must have heard it in his mind, and then he turned his back in embarrassment.

Wei Xiuwan said, "As far as I know, there are no friends of Brother Su in the north. Brother Hua also stayed safe and sound at the General Altar of the Four Seas Alliance. Brother Su is going to the north to join in the fun?"

Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "Lord Zhuge Zheng of Dali Temple, Su once had a relationship with him. It was thanks to him that Su was able to save Ling Shuang in Jinling. This time he had an accident in Liaoguo, so I naturally wanted to visit him. ”

Su Zhuo said it lightly, but Wei Xiu already knew that Su Zhuo was in charge of this matter. Playing from Su Zhuo appeared outside the tea shed, Wei Xiu had already guessed his intention.

Su Zhuo said again: "What makes me strange is that there don't seem to be any relatives and friends of the Wei family who had an accident this time. What is Miss Wei here for?"

Wei Xiu smiled secretly, but still avoided answering. After a moment of silence, she suddenly sighed without a head and a brain: "Alas, as the saying goes, under the whole world, it is not the king's land." But this place is desolate, where is there the elephant of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Su Zhuo sighed and said, "Back then, in order to be the emperor, Shi Jingjiao gave the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitans. Now that the Liao State is sitting big, it is eyeing the Central Plains, and the people in the north are naturally the first to bear the brunt. ”

Wei Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said gloomily: "The surname Shi in this world is still surnamed Zhao, and it is just a change of dynasty." Princes compete for hegemony and compete for the Central Plains, but in the end, it is the people who suffer. In troubled times, the people suffered, and in the peaceful and prosperous times, the people still suffered......"

When Wei Xiu sighed, her face showed a sad and weak look, as if at this moment, she had finally returned to the nature of her daughter's family. Su Zhuo was suddenly attracted by her compassionate demeanor, and suddenly understood that the reason why he was able to intersect with Wei Xiu was that although he had fought several times, he could still sit down and talk to each other. It is because she has such a trait, which is different from Wei Qian and Wei Sheng, and it is a kind of innocence that comes out of the mud and is not stained.

Wei Xiu suddenly noticed Su Zhuo's distraction, collected his thoughts, and said with a smile: "What is Brother Su thinking?"

Su Zhuo has always regarded himself as a big man who will never be attracted to women, so naturally he will not tell her what he thinks in his heart, and said with a smile: "Miss Wei's heart is admirable for Li Min. However, what makes me strange is that Miss Wei is not as smart as she used to be today? In this barren mountain and wilderness, there is a tea shed inexplicably, doesn't Miss Wei feel strange?"

Wei Xiu smiled indifferently: "I think Brother Su is a wise man, this tea shed is strange, is it strange, what is the **** thing? I have already tried the tea, there is no sweat medicine, and it is not poisonous." I quench my thirst, whatever the hell he is!"

As soon as the words fell, the tea guy heard that the two of them were talking in the wrong style, stood up suddenly, clenched his fingers, whistled loudly, pulled out a short knife from behind the tea stove, glared at the two, and laughed.
