Some things don't change, such as day and night, but some things are unpredictable, and some things are always changing quickly and catch you off guard.

Just like the relationship between Qi Tianxing and Tang Kai, now that they have cooperated, they have now been on the same boat.

Night is about to cover the earth, the sky is still red with the sunset, a gust of wind blows, the weather has become cold, the wind is already cold.

Sake is a great thing to keep out the cold, and it's a pleasure to drink a few cups of shochu around the stove on a winter night.

There was no stove, no soju, only shabby windows and a cold breeze, it was a dilapidated house, a house that hadn't been inhabited for some time, and it might not be suitable for people because no one would want to live in it.

Life is always accompanied by helplessness, Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi are now sitting in the house, the door of the house is only normal, and the cold wind blows in from the door and blows on Xiong Yu's face.

Xiong Yu's face has been frozen white, and Xiaoyaozi's lips are also a little purple, this is not the coldest time of the day, the coldest time of the day is in Zishi.

Xiaoyaozi's fingers were already a little stiff, and he moved his fingers and smiled helplessly: "It would be nice if there was wine now." ”

Xiong Yu touched his frozen white nose and said, "It's best to use soju, I want to drink a big bowl in one go." ”

Xiaoyaozi got up and walked to the door, looked at the darkening sky and said, "This is the last night, just survive tonight." ”

Xiong Yu also got up and said, "We're going to do it tomorrow." ”

Xiaoyaozi nodded with a grim face and said, "Tomorrow will be a hard battle, and if we are unlucky, we will stay here forever." ”

Xiong Yu rubbed his hands and said, "If I know it, there is one thing I will definitely regret." ”

Xiaoyaozi smiled and said, "What are you sorry for?

Xiong Yu shook his head and said, "I regret that I didn't drink once before I died. ”

Xiaoyaozi laughed and said, "You're looking more and more like an alcoholic now. ”

Xiong Yu's eyes widened and said, "Master, don't forget, you are the one who taught me to drink." ”

Xiaoyaozi laughed and said: "Yes, how can a man not drink, if a man does not drink, it is the same as a swordsman who does not use a sword." ”

There was dry wood in the house, but it could not be used to make a fire, because the light of the fire could cause trouble, and Xiong Yu had silver on his body, but he could not go to the city tavern to drink, because the city was already covered with Zhang Sanbao's eyeliner.

Xiaoyaozi walked up to Xiong Yu and smiled: "Once I received an assassination mission from the dark river, the person I wanted to kill was the leader of a gang, I remember that it was the month of Layue, I remember that the sky was snowing heavily, and I crawled in the snow for a day and a night in order to wait for an opportunity. ”

Xiong Yu was listening, and Xiaoyaozi continued: "At that time, my person was almost frozen, and I felt as if my body had no feeling, but I had to continue to wait, because I knew that if I wanted to succeed, I had to be patient, and finally I waited for the opportunity, no one would have thought that there were still people crawling in the snow, and no one would have thought that someone could crawl in the snow for a day and a night, so I successfully completed the task." ”

Xiong Yu walked to the door of the house in the cold wind and said, "I believe that our patience now will bear fruit, and we will definitely succeed in revenge tomorrow." ”

Xiaoyaozi's mood was a little excited, and his voice trembled slightly: "Tomorrow, I will use the sword in my hand to kill Tang Qi and Zhang Sanbao with my own hands, and I will let them always remember the three words Xiaoyaozi." ”

Xiong Yu smiled faintly and walked into the courtyard and said, "The city must be particularly lively tonight." ”

Xiaoyaozi stared at the sky and said slowly: "Tomorrow the city will definitely be more lively." ”

It was late at night, the noise in the city had gradually disappeared, the night had gradually become silent, and even the busy Zhang Mansion had fallen into peace.

There was something strange about the calm in the city now, like the calm before a storm.

Tomorrow there will be a sensational thing in the city, and if you want to kill someone, you must be ready to be killed, this is a sentence that Xiaoyaozi often says.

Grasping these two words is not just talking, Xiaoyaozi is lying on the cold ground, he can't sleep at the moment, he finds that his heartbeat is several times faster than usual, and he finds that as soon as he closes his eyes, Zhang Sanbao and Tang Kai will flash.

Xiong Yu was staring at the roof, his hand slowly gripping the hilt of his sword, because only then could he make his heart beat less fast.

Tomorrow their opponent will not be alone, their opponent is likely to be dozens or even hundreds of people, this is a battle with little chance of winning, Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi both know it, but they have not spoken.

The chances of revenge this time were already a little slim, and they could have looked for a better opportunity, but they had no choice because they were ready to die.

Xiaoyaozi suddenly spoke: "Xiong Yu, you are still young. ”

Xiong Yu was silent, and Xiaoyaozi continued: "If the plan fails, I will cover you, and you must live." ”

Xiong Yu seemed to be asleep, and Xiaoyaozi smiled bitterly and said, "If you still think of me as your master, you must listen to me." ”

Xiong Yu's eyes were a little moist, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, he was holding back the tears in the corners of his eyes, he was not asleep, he couldn't answer Xiaoyaozi's words, because he would definitely not listen to Xiaoyaozi's words, because he would definitely not leave Xiaoyaozi.

Some people say that the night is long, but now Xiong Yu doesn't think so, because he sees the white of the fish belly exposed in the sky, and the sky is about to dawn.

Xiong Yu hadn't slept all night, and he believed that Xiaoyaozi hadn't slept all night either, because he heard Xiaoyaozi tossing and turning all night.

Xiong Yu's stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound, Xiong Yu smiled helplessly, Tian's chapped lips, he and Xiaoyaozi didn't eat a drop of water for a whole day and a night.

Xiaoyaozi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Bear with it again." ”

Xiong Yu smiled faintly and said, "After the deed is completed, I will drink good wine and then eat a whole roasted whole sheep." ”

Xiaoyaozi laughed and said, "It just so happens that I know where the best roasted whole sheep is." ”

The family members of Zhang's Mansion have all gotten up early, today is a big day for them, today is the eightieth birthday of Mrs. Zhang, whether it is the family guards or the cooks and maids, they have already begun to work.

Zhang Sanbao got up very early today, and his spirit today is also very good, he got up early and changed into the clothes he was going to wear for today's birthday, it was a bright red robe, and there was no one Zhang Sanbao today who was not red from the inside out.

Zhang Sanbao cleared his throat and said, "Breakfast is ready." ”

The guard at the door immediately replied, "It's all ready." ”

Zhang Sanbao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, bring Tang Qi and let him have breakfast with me." ”

Tang Kai was already sitting on the table, and there were already a few light breakfasts on the table, a pot of porridge, a few eggs, and a few side dishes, Zhang Sanbao looked at Tang Kai, who was a little tired, and said, "You don't seem to be sleeping well." ”

Tang Qi smiled helplessly and said, "It's really hard for me to sleep against opponents like Xiaoyaozi and Xiong Yu. ”

Zhang Sanbao slowly took a sip of porridge and said, "You are overestimating Xiaoyaozi, now that we are all ready, what are you worried about?"

Tang Qi didn't seem to have any appetite, he paused and said: "Xiaoyaozi has been famous ten years ago, I don't know how many people died under his sword, the person he wants to kill has never missed, if it wasn't for me plotting against him behind his back, the head of Wudang is likely to die under his sword, to deal with such a person, I must calculate every step well, I must not show any flaws." ”

Zhang Sanbao snorted coldly and said: "Xiaoyaozi won't come to die, he won't be so stupid, he won't risk his life to kill me, maybe he has already left Hebei." ”

Tang Qi shook his head and said: "No, he will definitely come, I have already seen his determination in Xiaoyaozi's eyes in Lao Xu's house that day." ”

Zhang Sanbao shook his head helplessly and said: "Whatever you want, today is my birthday, and I can be eighty years old in my life, so I don't want to worry about anything today, and today I will announce another happy event, I want to take the woman you gave me as a concubine, this is simply a double happiness." ”

Tang Kai smiled and said, "It's good that the third master is happy." ”

Saying that, Tang Kai got up and walked out, he knew that Zhang Sanbao was an old man, Zhang Sanbao's heart was no longer young, and the things Zhang Sanbao cared about were very different from before, now Zhang Sanbao no longer belonged to the rivers and lakes, he was now just an old man entering his old age.

Tang Qi suddenly sighed, because he knew that Zhang Sanbao would never live so comfortably, because Xiaoyaozi would definitely come to Zhang Sanbao to take revenge on himself.

Noon has arrived, the door of Zhang's mansion sounded the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, suona sounds, the door is full of blessings and birthday sounds, Zhang Sanbao heard these voices have long been unable to close their mouths.

The new butler at the door kept reporting the names of the guests and the birthday gifts they had given to Zhang Sanbao.

The table has been set up in the courtyard, the table has already been filled with wine and food, and a high platform has been set up in the courtyard, and Zhang Sanbao is standing on the high platform.

After everyone was ready, Zhang Sanbao cleared his throat and said, "Thank you for coming to congratulate me on my birthday, it is an honor to be old." ”

The people in the audience immediately applauded, the smile on Zhang Sanbao's face was even worse, he immediately signaled everyone to be quiet, and after everyone quieted down, Zhang Sanbao continued: "Today is not only my birthday, I have another good news to tell you." ”

Zhang Sanbao waved his hand to the audience, Xia Yun was immediately brought up, Xia Yun was already wearing a red wedding dress, and everyone immediately exclaimed when they saw Xia Yun's beauty.

Zhang Sanbao smiled proudly and said: "This is the woman I want to marry, and he will be my first concubine." ”

Someone in the audience immediately shouted: "The third master is really a blessing." ”

Zhang Sanbao laughed and said: "Everyone must drink happily today, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

Tang Kai's face didn't have much of a smile on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the door, as if Xiaoyaozi would appear in the next moment.

Tang Kai's side every other tea time there are people to report the situation of each secret whistle, Tang Kai does not need to be so cautious, but he must be cautious now, because Qi Tianxing has left overnight last night, last night Qi Tianxing received a letter from the flying pigeon, Qi Tianxing immediately set off to leave Hebei as soon as he saw the content of the letter.

Without Qi Tianxing's helper, it would not be so easy to deal with Xiaoyaozi, the noise in the courtyard came and went, but Tang Qi's heart was surprisingly calm, because he suddenly had a bad premonition.
