Before the food came up, Yi Wuxing poured a glass of wine, took a sip and said in a low voice, "We have arrived in Xitong County, we need to fight quickly, Lord Wang has told us that we must go to the Sizhou camp within ten days, otherwise it will delay the military period, and the trip from here to Sizhou will take about four days, and we must complete the collection of the group of bandits in Xitong Ancient Village within three days, otherwise it will be too late in the future, whether the virtuous brother is confident." ”

Xie Tong shook his head, and said, "Don't hide it from my brother, my younger brother doesn't have any good way for the time being!"

Yi Wuxing directly squirted out a sip of wine and said, "Brother Xian is not joking, right! There is no plan, do you have to rely on two mouths to convince them?"

Xie Tong said, "Otherwise, we have no soldiers, no money, and some are just a false name promised by the saint, we can salute first and then soldiers." If you can say that the owner of Fan Zhai abandons the dark and turns to the light, it will definitely not delay the deadline."

Yi Wuxing smiled and said, "Bow first and then soldiers, tell Lao Tzu, where are your soldiers? Just rely on your mouth to contain these two thousand robbers, I think you are a fool's dream!"

Xie Tong said, "How do you know if you don't try? Where did Brother Fearless go before, and how did he become a soft egg when he met a real robber? Hey, when you first came out of Chang'an, Lao Tzu told you not to come with you! You just didn't listen."

Yi Wuxing suddenly stood up and said, "Who said that Lao Tzu is afraid, Lao Tzu is afraid of death, and it is not clear that he is afraid!"

They both burst out laughing at the same time.

After being full of wine and food, the two set off again, and finally arrived at Xitong Ancient Village before dusk.

The ancient village has not changed much, it is still weathered, Xie Tong and the others have not yet walked to the front of the village, and a sentry has already discovered the two. "Who's coming?"

Xie Tong jumped off the horse and said in a loud voice, "I'm Chang'an Xie Tong." I have something important to see the owner of Fan Zhai, please let me know?"

The sentry scolded, "." When is it, I'm still bothering Lao Tzu, the big boss is entertaining guests, I don't have time to take care of you, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, it's crazy, and I don't look at what kind of place this is. ”

When did Yi Wuxing receive such contempt, and was about to have a seizure, Xie Tong hurriedly stopped him. He took out a piece of silver from his arms, raised his left hand, and threw it directly on the sentry tower, the sentry saw a thing flying straight towards him, and hurriedly shrank into his head, and the silver fell directly in front of him, he was just about to scold, and found that it was a pile of silver, which seemed to weigh five taels. He was overjoyed, but he still kept a straight face, and said to Xie Tong, "What's your name?"

Xie Tong knew that the silver had worked, and said, "Chang'an Xie Tong, there is a post here!"

The sentry slowly walked down the tower. As he walked, he bit the silver a few times, and after making sure that it was silver, he came out and took the prayer post. "The big boss is entertaining guests, it's hard to say if I can see you!" Return to the cottage.

Yi Wudaunt said angrily, "Lao Tzu really wants to skin him, damn." With whom is this!"

Xie Tong said, "Brother, don't be angry, don't forget the purpose of our trip, people often say that the king of Hades is easy to deceive, and the little ghost is difficult, if you offend this sentry today, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the owner of the village, is it that Brother Fearless still wants to follow the little brother all the way in?

Yi Wuxing knew that Xie Tong was telling the truth, he snorted coldly and said, "Don't let Lao Tzu see him in the future, otherwise you will have to skin him!"

Xie Tong smiled and didn't speak.

After a while, the sentry just now rushed out and said, "The owner of the village has invited the two to the living room, and the two masters are invited!"

He changed his disdain just now and became very respectful, which made Xie Tong and the others puzzled, and there was great hope for this trip.

Xie Tong and the others followed the sentinel to the meeting room. Walking from the first floor, Xie Tong found that the whole cottage had a new look, as if it had been rearranged, the bandits along the way were also standing neatly, the hall where the guests were repainted, and a row of red lanterns were hung at the entrance of the hall, and it seemed that the atmosphere of the New Year had not yet dispersed. From time to time, there were all kinds of laughing voices in the hall, and it seemed that they were indeed entertaining some guests, but they didn't know who they were.

This is the second time he has come to the living room of Xitong Ancient Village, the first time he was eavesdropping outside, and this time he walked in openly.

Xie Tong walked into the main hall, he looked straight at the people in the hall, Fan Zhai Lord was sitting high on the big chair in the middle, looking arrogant, he looked to both sides, and directly cleared out a cold sweat, sitting on the left side of the head is no one else, it is Meng Peng and Lu Jing.

Unexpectedly, the two of them also came here, and their purpose should be the same as Xie Tong and the others, they all came to recruit An, but the other party arrived one step ahead of him and became the guests. Faced with the sudden crisis, Xie Tong was stunned all of a sudden, now Meng Peng and Lu Jing are already friends and enemies, since the other party dares to come here, presumably Huang Chao's sphere of influence has penetrated here, and now the enemy has the upper hand, one is not handled well, he and Yi Wuxing do not want to leave Xitong Ancient Village alive today.

Meng Peng looked at Xie Tong with a wicked smile on his face and said, "Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Lu Jing was not as kind as Meng Peng, and directly sarcastically said, "If it weren't for seeing Xie Tong standing here alive at the moment, the little brother would have thought that Brother Xie had died somewhere!"

In the face of Lu Jing's ridicule, Xie Tong didn't dare to contradict it, nor could he contradict it, this time he accidentally bumped into the enemy's hometown, if he angered the other party, I was afraid that it would be difficult to leave, it didn't matter if he died here, the key was that he didn't want to drag Yi Wudaunt to be buried with him.

Master Fan Zhai smiled and said, "Meng Gongzi, Lu Gongzi, it turns out that you and Xie Tong are old acquaintances!"

Lu Jing snorted coldly, "Not only is it an old acquaintance, but the relationship is even more difficult to clarify, if it is said to be an enemy of the enemy, I am afraid it is extremely appropriate."

Xie Tong's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Lu Jing to say this, he was also fearless, he was not afraid of what tricks he Xie Tong played, it seems that they should not be very familiar with the owner of Fan Zhai, if they can skillfully use this relationship, then there is hope for escape, and he now does not dare to think about taking over the matter of the cottage.

Without waiting for Fan Zhai's statement, Xie Tong hurriedly said, "The two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, although Xie Tong is not in Yangzhou, he has always been concerned about Yangzhou's affairs, ha, the days with his brothers in Yangzhou are indeed beautiful, and it is really a great pleasure to meet the two here today." ”

Lu Jing pursed his lips disdainfully, and said, "It's a good thing to say, when I was in Yangzhou, Brother Xie didn't leave late, where did he go!"

Xie Tong said, "Of course, the little brother went to chase Cao Pingyang and Pei Xiangru, these two people stole my general's sword, it is really intolerable, Xie can't wait to correct these two people on the spot." ”

Regarding the relationship between Cao Pingyang, Pei Xiangru and Xie Tong, Fan Zhai knew about it, and participated in it to help Cao and Pei arrest Xie Tong. Now that he heard that the two of them were actually in a hostile relationship with Huang Chao's side, his heart suddenly cooled in half, for fear that Xie Tong would continue, but he didn't dare to interrupt him.

Meng Peng said, "In this way, Brother Xie did not betray the general, but has been working tirelessly for the general to arrest the prisoners, but this has been out for several months, why is there no news." ”

Xie Tong saw that the other two were interrogating him, and knew that this strategy was extremely effective, so he hurriedly said, "The younger brother chased all the way to Luoyang and Chang'an, and it was already a big event, but he suddenly discovered a shocking secret!"

Lu Jing sighed and said, "What a secret!"

Xie Tong looked at everyone, and said neatly, "Xie found out that Pei Xiangru is not his real name, his real name is Sima Xiangru."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised, Sima Xiangru is the leader of the forbidden army in the current saint, and his father Sima Xuan is the captain of the court, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and no one in the world knows. I didn't expect Sima Xiangru to change his name and sneak into Yangzhou, isn't this a top priority, but it's ridiculous that His Holiness Datuk and others actually treat them as guests, isn't it funny.

Lu Jingdao: "Is this true?"

Xie Tong said, "Of course Xie will not tell a lie that is so easy to be exposed, the general sent someone to Chang'an to find out".

Lu Jing was speechless for a moment, this news was too shocking for him. If it is transmitted to Yangzhou, it will be extremely disadvantageous for his father to go. After all, taking in such a key figure in the hostile camp was kept in the dark, and he would be caught by Zhu Wen and others.

Meng Peng was extremely calm, he took the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, and said, "Brother Xie's words are full of loopholes, how can I believe it."

Xie Tong muttered in his heart, his words were true, except that he couldn't explain what had disappeared for a few months, he really couldn't think of any flaws. He pretended to be innocent and looked at Meng Peng blankly.

Meng Peng said, "Do you really want me to break you!"

Xie Tong was still speechless.

Meng Peng laughed and said, "Xie Tong's lie is too realistic, is it really a fool for me to wait?" Brother Xie was born in the Hainan Sword Sect, and when Pei Xiangru arrived in Yangzhou, he also called himself the Hainan Sword Sect, but you didn't say anything to break him, how can Brother Xie explain this, unless the two of you are accomplices, using the guise of the Hainan Sword Sect to deceive." The purpose is to steal the Qinggang sword and destroy the general's earth-shattering conference, but unfortunately people are not as good as the sky, and we have to escape. Fortunately, the Sword Worship Conference was held as scheduled, otherwise wouldn't it have allowed you to succeed."

Xie Tong was speechless for a moment, this really made him unable to argue. He didn't count it by all means, but after all, he ignored this matter, and the matter of pretending to be the Hainan Sword Sect had long been forgotten by him. He racked his brains, and finally said, "This little brother is irrefutable, when Sima Xiangru arrived in Yangzhou at the beginning, it was His Holiness Datuk who was the first to identify him, and the little brother was helpless in Yangzhou, and offended the commander of Zhu Wen, so he really didn't dare to take this risk." He made up such nonsense, I don't know if it will work.

Meng Peng's thoughts about Xie Tong's words are indeed reasonable, when Pei Xiangru arrived in Yangzhou, it was indeed his father Datuk Venerable who regarded him as a guest, and Xie Tong was indeed in a dilemma at that time, this matter is known to everyone.

Lu Jingdao: "Let's believe Brother Xie's words for the time being, but what is the so-called matter of Brother Xie suddenly coming here, shouldn't it be to catch up with Lord Fan Zhai!" (To be continued.) )
