Return to the Central Plains 22
Mo Chuan was about to call, only to hear Sima Xuangao shouting, "Stop, why is Mr. Mo so angry, Wuyang is a junior, Mr. has a lot, and he can't be angry with young people, Wuyang, and a lot of words." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Without waiting for Xie Tong to speak, Mo Chuan flicked his sleeves and said, "Today's old man is giving face to Lord Taiwei, if you kid dares to talk nonsense, he will definitely break your legs", he was so arrogant that even Sima Jinyu couldn't get over it.
Xie Tong smiled bitterly, did not make a sound, and at the same time watched Mo Chuan return to his seat, he also wanted to sit down, but the chair had been shattered by the strength of his palm, and he had nowhere to sit at the moment.
Seeing that Sima Xuan didn't give him a chair, Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Taiwei, the villain is unwell and wants to retire first." ”
Sima Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Stand down!"
Xie Tong was angry in his heart, he hugged his fists slightly and walked straight out. Mo Chuan, who is strong in martial arts, is more valuable than Xie Tong no matter how you look at it.
Xie Tong hadn't walked far yet, only to hear the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and then a "Sir, please stay" came into his ears.
Xie Tong turned around and saw that the person who came was actually Sima Xiangru.
Sima Xiangru ran to Xie Tong's side, and said apologetically, "Brother Zhao, don't be angry, Mo Chuan is a brave man, don't be like him."
Xie Tong smiled bitterly and understood, "Why does the general have to chase Zhao, everyone doesn't want to see Zhao, Zhao is leaving, how can he not be cheeky and lie here, making people laugh in vain!"
Sima Xiangru knew that he didn't care about Mo Chuan's insult, but was more concerned that their father and son didn't speak for Xie Tong, thinking of this, he continued, "Where did Mr. say, you are the guest of honor in Xiangru's mansion, and you are in an irreplaceable position, Fang Cairu did not defend Brother Zhao, so that Brother Zhao lost face, and asked my brother to forgive me, but Mo Chuan is a person brought by his father, and Xiangru is not easy to reprimand."
Xie Tong eased his nerves, sighed and said, "General, Zhao has been disheartened, and he is determined not to interfere in the battle between the two parties, and only asks the general to help introduce the host of the White Horse Temple, and I am willing to spend all my family property to rebuild the White Horse Temple." ”
Sima Xiangru's body shook violently, and said, "Brother Zhao can't, it is your and my ambition to rebuild the White Horse Temple, but at the moment, defeating Wu Zhiting at the gambling table is the top priority, and tomorrow's battle is inevitable, and I hope that Brother Zhao can abandon his previous suspicions and fight side by side with his younger brother."
Xie Tong looked at Sima Xiangru with a sincere face, and said firmly, "Okay, since the general trusts Zhao so much, Lao Tzu is also out of the way, and tomorrow in the casino, he will definitely not let the general down."
Sima Xiangru said, "General Ben will not disappoint Brother Zhao, come to someone! Send Mr. Zhao home!"
Xie Tong waved his hand and said, "No need, Zhao will go back by himself! The general should go back to accompany the guests, don't forget to pick me up tomorrow."
With that, he laughed and left on his own.
Sima Xiangru looked at the back of Zhao Wuyang's departure, and felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, his father handled this matter too hastily, but Mo Chuan was also too arrogant, he must seek some justice for Zhao Wuyang.
Xie Tong left the Sima brothers' mansion, it was already dark, and this meal was eaten from early afternoon until late at night, which was really a bit long.
Fortunately, he knew the way back, so he didn't want to get lost, so he had to pace back slowly.
It's dangerous today, this is Xie Tong's only thought, Sima Xuan's sudden appearance and Mo Chuan's aggressiveness almost disrupted his plans, if it wasn't for his temporary change of concept, but also a-for-tat confrontation with Mo Chuan, he kept this hard-won opportunity, otherwise if Sima Xuan decided that he was useless, not only would he not reuse him, but he would kill people, after all, he was helpless and knew too many things, if it really came to that situation, he would have no other way but to escape.
Xie Tong turned the corner of the street, Shi Jingjiao's house had already come into view, looking at the glimmer of light rising in the darkness, Xie Tong suddenly had a warm feeling, he wanted to walk back immediately and embrace the warmth that belonged to him.
Suddenly, the psychic gave a warning, and a silent footstep came into his mind.
Someone was following him, and only one person.
Xie Tong really couldn't guess who this person was, currently in Luoyang, there was almost no one who could clean him up one-on-one, and even the arrogant Mo Chuan didn't dare to guarantee that he could defeat him alone.
However, Xie Tong did not feel a trace of murderous intent, this person had no malicious intent.
Xie Tong hurriedly quickened his pace, turned around, and flashed to the side of the road.
After a while, a figure crept up, but when he tracked it down, he lost the trace of Xie Tong, and this person stood on the spot in a daze.
Xie Tong saw it clearly, and the person who followed him was Wu Zhiting, a disciple of the Wu family.
When Xie Tong saw that it was him, his heart became ambiguous, why did he come to follow him.
Xie Tong walked out of the shadows unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "Why is Brother Wu tracking late at night, is it possible that he wants to attack someone Zhao?"
Wu Zhiting suddenly saw him, was stunned, and immediately smiled, "With Brother Zhao's skills, I'm afraid that the younger brother is not your opponent, and I don't have the guts." ”
Xie Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know about this, you and I are not friends or enemies, is it possible that Brother Wu is looking for me to drink?"
Wu Zhiting smiled and said, "This time I really made Brother Zhao right, since the night assassination, there has always been a question in his heart? ”
Xie Tong said, "Please speak?"
Wu Zhiting said, "I'm afraid this is not the place to talk, right? The younger brother knows a place to go, there is wine and meat, I wonder if Brother Zhao is interested in taking a trip?"
Xie Tong hesitated, subconsciously told him that this was a conspiracy, he looked straight at Wu Zhiting, this handsome and courageous young man, his eyes were very clear, without a trace of impurities, like the shining stars in the sky, Xie Tong couldn't help but believe him, he smiled and said, "Lead the way ahead!"
Wu Zhiting turned around and walked all the way, taking Xie Tong to the Dragon King Temple in the east of the city.
Outside the Dragon King Temple is a lotus pond, Wu Zhiting skillfully walked here, without waiting for Xie Tong to follow, he jumped into the lotus pond with a thud, and the water surface stirred up waves, and then returned to calm.
Xie Tong almost shouted out in surprise, and in less than half a pillar of incense, Wu Zhiting floated up from the bottom of the water, holding two jars of wine in his hands, and said with a smile, "Next."
With that, he threw the jar out of the water.
Xie Tong couldn't help but be speechless, who really admired him for his hard work, he could hold his breath for so long, I am afraid that there are few people in the world. He hurriedly stepped forward, caught the wine jar thrown by Wu Zhiting with his bare hands, and sandwiched it under his armpit. smiled and said, "How could Brother Wu hide the wine in the lotus pond!"
Wu Zhiting climbed onto the shore, the two sat side by side outside the gate of the Dragon King Temple, Wu Zhiting said, "These two jars of wine are the best daughter red, and they have been sealed here for more than ten years, ha, Brother Zhao can't think of it! More than ten years ago, the younger brother stole the daughter red from the grandfather's cellar and hid it in the lotus pond, and was going to come out to drink it on the day of the younger brother's wedding, but this time it was indeed opened in advance."
Xie Tongmu hugged the wine jar, did not mean to open it, but said suspiciously, "In this way, Zhao can't drink this wine, Brother Wu must have a meaning to hide this wine, can you say it."
Wu Zhiting suddenly showed a painful look and said, "Brother Zhao is willing to listen to the little brother's wordy story?"
Xie Tong said, "Zhao is listening to him."
Wu Zhiting opened the wine seal, a fragrance rushed to his face, he picked up the wine jar and poured a big sip, and continued, "The younger brother is Wu Zhou's disciple, and what flows in his body is the blood of the Holy Spirit Emperor. However, since the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zhou has gradually declined, far away from the political stage, and has to stay in Luoyang, unable to engage in politics in a glorious manner, and must not take the lead in running to the killing field, because it is easy to be suspicious of Li Tang. To be honest, life is hard."
He paused, and took another big puff.
Xie Tong observed his words and knew that he was in a bad mood, but he had more stories to tell, so Xie Tong listened with his ears pricked up.
Wu Zhiting continued, "The younger brother grew up in such a situation, he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he lived a mixed life every day, which can be said to be full of five poisons, and at this time, a girl next door broke into my life. The younger brother also changed his personality because of him, became positive, and became diligent and studious."
Xie Tong couldn't help it, opened the wine seal, took a sip like him, and said with a smile, "Isn't it very good?
Wu Zhiting sighed and said, "It's a pity that we will never be able to be together, my father and brother have a lot of contradictions, and we are in opposing camps, and we are just secretly trysts, and we have not announced them to the public, just thinking that one day we can be recognized by the elders."
Xie Tong smiled and said, "Lovers will eventually become married, since the two of you can get along with each other, why don't you have enough courage to make it public!"
Wu Zhiting's voice suddenly became hoarse, and said, "Originally, it was intended to be made public, but it is very unfortunate that his father has already found his in-law's family for him, and he is a famous family in the capital, and the younger brother has no chance.
Xie Tong's heart was shocked, and he suddenly blurted out, "Is Brother Wu's beauty surnamed Shen?"
Wu Zhiting was surprised: "How could Brother Zhao have guessed!"
Xie Tong smiled and said, "Maybe it's really a guess!"
Wu Zhiting continued, "Hey, these words can only be said to Brother Zhao, although you and I are in a hostile position, but fortunately, it is not too much to say that we are sympathetic to each other, maybe only Brother Zhao can understand the bitterness in the heart of the younger brother."
Xie Tong nodded and said, "With Brother Wu's current state, I'm afraid I will lose at the gambling table tomorrow." ”
Wu Zhiting complained, "What if you win, what if you lose, if you lose her, my little brother is not interested in this world."
An extremely bold idea suddenly rose in Xie Tong's mind, if he could join forces with the disciples of the Wu clan and join forces to fight against the Sima family, would it be feasible! However, he didn't dare to say this idea, so he had to smile bitterly, "Brother Wu still has to look away, there is nothing that can't be done in the world, especially in terms of feelings, the twisted melon is not sweet, and the younger brother is still very optimistic that you will eventually become a family member if you have a lover."
Wu Zhiting sighed and said, "Brother Zhao, don't comfort the little brother, this idea is pure self-deception, with the power of the Sima family, it is only a matter of time before our Wu Zhou leaves Luoyang, even if there is no competition in the gambling hall, we can't cope with it by playing other means, hey, if we go back to the era of the Wu Zhou Empire, why should he Sima fight with us, this time is different from the past!"
After that, continue drinking.
Xie Tong thought for a while, and said, "If the little brother can let Miss Shen and you fly together, how about it!"
Wu Zhiting put down the wine jar, stared at Xie Tong, and said, "How is it possible, you are the general of the Sima family, even if you want to help me, I am afraid that you still don't have that ability, the younger brother has received the news, Sima Xuan secretly came to Luoyang, and brought a large number of masters, this time we have no chance of winning, in order to preserve the strength, the family has to temporarily avoid the edge", he sighed, and continued, "The younger brother Nian Brother Zhao is a man who stands up to the sky, so I met rashly tonight to express the gratitude in my heart, I am afraid that after tomorrow, it will be difficult for you and me to see each other again."
Xie Tong was embarrassed when he heard this, and he muttered, "Since Brother Wu believes that Zhao is a person who stands up to the sky, he should know that he will not be in the same stream with people like Sima, maybe it is just for some specific purposes! Say goodbye!"
After that, Xie Tong picked up the wine jar and flew away, leaving only the stunned Wu Zhiting.
When Xie Tong returned to Shi Jingjiao's house, it was already late at night, and everyone had not rested, waiting for him to come back.
Xie Tong walked in with a drunken smell and said with a smile, "Everyone, you can rest assured! The old fox is not targeting us!"
Hong Shan said angrily, "It's really scared to death, you have been gone for so long, and there is no news at all, how can you not worry Shan'er." ”
Xie Tong hurriedly told the ins and outs of going to the banquet, including the chance encounter with Wu Zhiting.
Hong Shan listened, and said regretfully, "It's really an amorous seed, can't Brother Hitomi find a way to help him?"
Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that you don't know our current situation, the mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect itself, walking like walking on thin ice in the cracks of the major forces in Luoyang, it is not easy to live, if you help the martial arts pavilion, if you set yourself on fire."
Shi Jingjiao smiled and said, "Brother Xie is right, sister-in-law and wife should not make extraneous branches, the top priority is to cooperate with Brother Sima to obtain the right to rebuild the White Horse Temple."
Cai Wei also said faintly, "This girl can't stand this kind of love and love things, forget it, go to sleep!
Xie Tong smiled bitterly and didn't make a sound.
The crowd rested.
When he woke up the next day, it was already three poles in the morning, and Xie Tong slept very sweetly this night, and he didn't even dream.
After waking up, he simply freshened up, changed into the gorgeous clothes specially prepared for him by Hong Shan, and drank tea and chatted with everyone in Shi Jingjiao's hall.
Time flies, and after a short time, it has already passed noon, and Sima Xiangru actually came to greet him in person, accompanied by the two masters Cao Pingyang and Feng Wuhe.
Xie Tong and the others hurriedly went out to greet him, and Shi Jingjiao smiled and said, "The general is in such a big battle, it seems that he is confident today." (To be continued.) )
