On this day, the traffic outside the willow garden is full of firecrackers, and the garden is full of lights and drums, up to the dignitaries, down to the rivers and lakes and high rollers.

After the ceremony, everyone held a feast in the willow garden and drank drunk songs, and Hongfu helped Wan'er invite the most famous musicians and dancers in the capital to cheer up the guests through the relationship, and the Chang'an Gang Gang specially brought a few strange people from the Western Regions to perform wonderful juggling, which attracted bursts of cheers and cheers from time to time.

Li Jiancheng, the prince of Tang Guogong, only sat for a while, and quietly left soon after the banquet began, while Chai Shao stayed. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, he pulled Diao Xiaosi to the side hall to chat.

Diao Xiaosi asked with a smile: "Xiaochai, when did you come to Chang'an, and you didn't notify me?"

Chai Shao said: "Actually, Xiuning and I have been in Chang'an these days, and so have the eldest brother and third brother. ”

Diao Xiaosi naturally knew that the "eldest brother" and "third brother" mentioned in Chai Shao's mouth referred to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the two sons of Tang Guogong Li Yuan. As for Li Xiuning not accompanying Chai Shao today, it was mostly to avoid embarrassment after meeting Tang Xiaosan.

He was stunned and said: "Why do you all like to run to Chang'an, could it be that the poor countryside of Taiyuan has no food, no play, and is not used to it?"

Chai Shao replied: "This is the common meaning of His Majesty and my father-in-law. After speaking, he took out a brocade box from his cuff and said, "Xiuning and I gave you a congratulatory gift." ”

As soon as Diao Xiaosi heard the "congratulatory gift", he immediately threw the question in his mind to Java, took the brocade box and opened it, and said in surprise: "Starfish Stone!"

I saw that there was a vermilion star-shaped strange stone in the brocade box, and the tentacles were cold and cold, exuding a faint halo.

Diao Xiaosi is a person who knows the goods, and he was pleasantly surprised: "This thing is the best refining material for making Dao talismans, and such a large piece will have to be sold for 30,000 taels on the black market." In the end, it is Tang Guogong's son-in-law, rich!"

He put the starfish stone into the dragon belt, patted Chai Shao's shoulder and said sincerely: "Xiao Chai, you still know me, enough friends!"

Chai Shao's face showed a smile and said, "It's good if you like it." After a pause, he said again: "You are also very powerful, you have gained a firm foothold in Chang'an so quickly and opened up the situation, but Duan Zhentian is not a person who admits defeat easily, you have to beware of him demolishing the stage behind his back." ”

Diao Xiaosi said indifferently: "He'd better not come to provoke Lao Tzu, otherwise I'll shoot this surnamed Duan to death on the beach." ”

Chai Shao smiled and said, "I will stay in Chang'an all this time." ”

Diao Xiaosi's heart warmed, but he shook his head and said: "Forget it, this place is not as good as Taiyuan, and you are also having a hard time under the fence." If something really happens, Lao Tzu will go to find the girl in Jincheng, anyway, she found me first. ”

Chai Shao bowed his head silently, and said after a moment: "You and I are brothers, and there is no need to be polite to be polite when we are in the same boat and huddle together for warmth." ”

Diao Xiaosi's heart moved, and he chuckled: "If you don't Xiao Chai, how about we two worship the handle?" Pulling Chai Shao knelt down against a statue of the God of Wealth in the middle of the side hall, burning incense and praying for the righteous marriage of Jin Lan.

The two of them each reported their birthdays, Chai Shao was a few years younger than Diao, and the relationship between them was much closer.

Chai Shao said: "Little four, I have a batch of medicinal materials to be sent to Taiyuan recently, and I want you to help escort them." ”

Diao Xiaosi agreed: "No problem, I'll match you with the best dart master, and the price will be discounted." ”

Chai Shao listened intently to the movements around the side hall, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "A friend happened to leave Beijing by the way, please take care of it along the road." ”

Diao Xiaosi observed his words and realized that the "friend" in Chai Shao's mouth was probably an unusual person, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter is on me." ”

Chai Shao leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, "This friend of mine is surnamed Qin, and his name is Qiong. ”

"Who?" Diao Xiaosi almost bounced up from his chair and said in astonishment: "Is that the one who made a big fuss about the Lantern Festival and killed Yu Wenhua and his youngest son?"

Chai Shao nodded, and Diao Xiaosi gasped and said, "You hid him, no wonder the government can't catch it." ”

Chai Shao said: "He was injured by Yuwen Chengdu, and now although he is walking without hindrance, he can't use his true qi to fight with people." On the twenty-second of this month, the heroes of the green forest in the north are going to meet in Huashan, and Brother Qin must be present. My identity is too conspicuous, and I can only ask you Xiaosi when I think about it. ”

Diao Xiaosi calmed down and said, "Actually, you don't have to tell me Qin Qiong's true identity, let him mix in with the people of the owner and follow the dart car out of the city without realizing it." ”

Chai Shao said honestly: "Xiuning said the same thing, but you and I are brothers, I don't want to hide it from you." ”

Diao Xiaosi nodded, "Okay, you don't have to say anything, Lao Tzu did it!"

Chai Shao was moved in his heart, but he never liked to say much, so he just nodded silently, handed a note to Diao Xiaosi and said: "This is his residence and interface codeword." ”

Diao Xiaosi took the note and read it, and said with a strange expression: "Dare you still do this business?"

Chai Shao smiled and said, "I will send someone to contact you after ten days." This time, all the goods that came out were from Chang'an Buddha Ci Hall, and their shopkeeper was surnamed Hou. ”

The two discussed and chatted for a while, Diao Xiaosi sent Chai Shao out, he secretly thought to himself: "My second brother who is a new worshipper is not simple, he has a lot of tricks to do both medicinal materials and hide anti-thieves, and he is mysterious, and under the nose of the emperor Lao'er, he can play bigger than Lao Tzu." ”

The two came to the gate of Liuyuan and happened to meet Xia Peiheng and Geng Shaohua to bid farewell to Duan Zhentian.

Duan Zhentian's body was full of alcohol, supported by two disciples left and right, and he didn't know whether he was really drunk or pretending to be garlic, he pointed at Xia Peiheng and said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, as the saying goes, ginger is old and spicy, in the future, you will follow the old man, young man, it's not a bad thing to learn more." No matter what you see on Guan Luo Road, just come to me. ”

Xia Peiheng listened to him rely on the old and sell the old, and beat himself in front of many guests and subordinates, and said with indescribable annoyance in his heart: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, today is an auspicious day for celebration, and you don't have to be as knowledgeable as this old guy." ”

Who knew that Duan Zhentian relied on the strength of the wine to intensify his strength, and pointed at Wan'er who was following behind Geng Shaohua with his hand, and said with a smile: "Wan'er's niece and nephew haven't been married yet, but you want me to be the old man......?"

Before he finished his words, Diao Xiaosi became angry. Just now Duan Zhentian insinuated and derogated Xia Peiheng, Diao Xiaosi listened to it with relish on the sidelines, but he didn't help fan the flames. Who knew that the old madman changed his words and actually started Wan'er's idea, which is tolerable or unbearable!

He smiled and said, "People's fathers and mothers haven't spoken, but where did a dog come from to be nosy and bark around?"

As soon as these words came out, the inside and outside of the originally boiling willow garden were suddenly silent, and everyone was dumbfounded, and they all turned their eyes to the battlefield here.

Duan Zhentian's old face was already red from drinking, but at this moment, it was even more purple like a pig's liver, and he wanted to be angry but didn't want to lose the demeanor and bearing of the head of the Guan Luo Dart Bureau in front of the public, so he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Wan'er stood behind Geng Shaohua and Mrs. Geng and peeked at Diao Xiaosi, her heart was sweet and worried: "He humiliated Duan Zhentian in front of so many people for me, and there will be one more enemy in the future." ”

Sure enough, one of Duan Zhentian's disciples angrily reprimanded: "The surname is Diao, you don't have to be disrespectful, you deceive people too much!"

Diao Xiaosi sneered: "Who the hell is bullying people too much?" The eyes of the people of Chang'an City are bright, since we will use the dart bureau to enter Liuyuan, how many stumbling blocks you have used in the back, everyone can see it clearly. ”

He waved his hand and said, "That's it, who made the prime minister who knows how to pass the dart bureau have a good boat in his belly." But we have eaten and drunk well, not only do you not appreciate it, but you also make a lot of nonsense and think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world. I don't understand, this Chang'an City, this Guan Luo, is it your old Duan's family or the current saint?!"

Duan Zhentian was pretending to be drunk, but when he heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly. It's not that he can't hold his breath, but Diao Xiaosi's words are too mean, if it reaches the palace, whether it is true or not, it may cause death to himself and Guan Luo's dart bureau. What's more, there is news that this kid has been fighting with Princess Jincheng recently. Thinking of this, he suddenly died.

I heard the disciple next to me shouting: "Diao Xiaosi, don't spray people with blood! I want to duel with you and wash away the humiliation of tonight for my teacher!"

Diao Xiaosi sighed: "I also said that I have no ambition, and even the name of an apprentice is so domineering." Ma Chaotian...... Even the emperor humbled himself as the Son of Heaven, do you still have the royal law in your eyes?"

Ma Chaotian's nose was almost crooked, his name originally had the hidden meaning of "Chaotianque", but it was misinterpreted by Diao Xiaosi, and in a blink of an eye, it became a big rebellion, and he was afraid and angry: "You, you...... Nonsense!"

Wan'er Jiao smiled and said, "Fourth uncle, why do you bother to provoke this big brother Ma? People don't even pay attention to God, so we'd better stay away." ”

Diao Xiaosi smiled at Wan'er, and said in his heart: "Little Niangpi understands me more and more, and she actually talks to Lao Tzu in a tone." ”

I heard Fang Mingzu laugh and said: "Isn't this lawless?

As the chief scoop of the underworld in Chang'an, he has never been compatible with Duan Zhentian, who claims to be famous and upright, so he is naturally happy to take the opportunity to step on his feet.

Ma Chaotian was furious, choked and drew his knife and shouted: "Diao Xiaosi, I won't die with you, I won't ...... you"

"Whoosh-" Suddenly, out of nowhere, a peach flew and stuffed his mouth tightly.

Ma Chaotian was silent, his face was blood-red, and everyone laughed loudly.

Duan Zhentian was taken aback, looked up at the top of the gatehouse, and saw Ye Fashan sitting by the eaves drinking wine and nibbling on chicken legs leisurely, as if the Flying Peach incident had nothing to do with him.

Duan Zhentian snorted angrily and said, "Immortal Ye Chang, what do you mean by this?!"

"People invite you to watch a play and eat, but it's not good for you to use knives and guns at people's homes," Ye Fashan said inarticulately: "The old way of eating people has a short mouth, and there is no other meaning." ”

Duan Zhentian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, give Ye Xian a face today, and this matter will end here." Diao Zong's dart, three days later, at sunrise, the old man was waiting for the master on the cross slope in the east of the city! As long as you can hold up a pillar of incense under Duan's knife, I will wash my hands and abdicate to make way for Xian!"
