Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 678 Brothers Meet
Su Bai did not go to the place where the two armies were confronting each other, but walked around the mountain forest that was a little bit out of the courtyard. A few days later, Su Bai arrived in Yichang City. On the night he arrived, Zheng Xiang got the news. Of course, Su Bai was I don't know that my every move is actually under the surveillance of others.

Of course, this can't be called surveillance, in fact, there are spies from the second prince's side in Yichang City, and Su Bai didn't change his appearance, so after seeing Su Bai entering the city, he just passed the news back.

After Su Bai entered Yichang City, he found that the situation here was better. Although the city gates had to be searched, at least there were not so many soldiers in the city, and there were quite a few normal residents. The shops were also open, but I don’t know why. This place is not prosperous at all, but because it is in wartime, it seems a bit depressed.

When he entered the city, although Su Bai was carrying a sword, there were too many people in the rivers and lakes. The guards saw him alone, and he was not very old, so they didn't make things difficult for him. They searched him casually and let him enter the city. Su Bai was relieved that Dongfang Qing's token was not found by the other party. After all, this thing works well in Ganzhou, but when it comes to Ezhou and the place under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the token is not easy to use. If you don't move, it will cause some troubles!
Xiao Wu is the leading general. It is said that he is in the city lord's mansion at this moment. Su Bai didn't hesitate this time, and went directly to the city lord's mansion. After revealing his identity, soldiers went in to report.

Soon Su Bai heard a hurried footstep coming out from far to near, it was Xiao Wu whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Xiao Wu was very happy to see Su Bai, they hugged each other, and Xiao Wu patted hard Patting him on the back, he said excitedly, "Xiaobai, how are you doing these days?"

Su Bai smiled and said, "I can eat and sleep, and I'm just an idler. What's wrong? Brother Wu, you've been on the battlefield all the time, which is worrying. How are you? Are you not injured?"

Xiao Wu chuckled and said: "I haven't been to the battlefield a few times, and even if I go to the battlefield, I will be protected by accompanying guards. Of course it's okay. Don't stand outside and talk in the house."

Xiao Wu led Su Bai into the city lord's mansion. With Xiao Wu leading him, of course no one stopped him. From this point of view, even if Xiao Wu is not the city lord here, he still has the final say at this moment.

As soon as he entered the hall, Su Bai saw a woman sitting in the hall holding a white and clean baby. Su Bai raised his eyes and was stunned for a moment. This woman was none other than Xiao Wu's wife, Chen Yin. , wouldn't the baby in the other party's arms be...

Seeing that it was Su Bai, Chen Yin got up and said with a smile, "It's Xiao Bai."

Su Bai nodded and said, "Hi sister-in-law, this is..."

Xiao Wu's face turned red, and then he laughed and said: "Xiao Bai, this is my son, that is, your nephew! His name is Ji Xiaolong, and he is not yet one year old."

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao Wu!" Su Bai said with admiration. What made him sigh was not only that Xiao Wu had a son, but also the name, Ji Xiaolong, who was born as a child!And it's also very simple, which fits Xiao Wu's style.

After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, Su Bai also learned about the situation of the two of them. It turned out that after Xiao Wu and Old General Ji left Shangjing, Chen Yin did not follow him. Worried that his family would have an accident in the city, he brought his family to the south. Naturally, Chen Yin wanted to be by Xiao Wu's side, and Ji Xiaolong was born.

As for the battle here, it's actually nothing. It was General Ji who was ambushed by the opponent, and that's how he lost the battle. Let old general Ji be fooled, but old general Ji is also well-deserved of his reputation. Although he was defeated, he was not defeated. After gathering his troops, he re-armed in Ezhou and confronted the second prince. This is the current situation.

It's not easy for Su Bai to be obedient, and it's not easy to say that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and it's not easy to say this to Xiao Wu, and the seniority of Old General Ji is here, he is a junior, how can he talk so much?What's more, he himself doesn't know how to march and fight, and he has no right to speak!

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he asked, "Xiaobai, how have you been living these days? I remember you were in Beijing at the beginning, right? There was no danger, right? Then you became sworn brothers with the Fifth Prince? And you went with him Three northeast states?"

Su Bai nodded. It seems that his matter has become important information because of his relationship with the fifth prince. Otherwise, Xiao Wu is in the south, if he didn't ask for it on purpose, he really wouldn't know about it.

Su Bai said: "There is such a thing. The fifth prince and I knew each other before, and later we also got in touch with each other. In addition, we have similar temperaments, so we became brothers. As for when we went to Beijing, there was nothing to do. I want to leave. I'm not afraid of them stopping me, besides, I'm not that important."

Xiao Wu frowned when he heard this, with a solemn expression, nodded slowly and said, "I shouldn't talk too much about your affairs, but... But Xiao Bai, if you want to be an official or lead the army, why don't you serve the court?"

Hearing this, Su Bai said something bad in his heart, what he was most afraid of was that Xiao Wu was devoted to the court, but now it seems that the other party is really loyal!
He thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "Little fifth brother, I understand what you mean, but when I swore to the fifth prince, the situation was not like this, and I didn't sworn to the other party because I was greedy for glory and wealth. , let alone want to lead the army to fight, I didn't even regard the other party as a prince, and I never looked at the other party's status when I made friends."

Without waiting for Xiao Wu to speak, Su Bai continued: "As for serving the imperial court, I have never thought about it, little brother. The reason why I joined the 'Nine Palaces Gate' at the beginning was just a coincidence, and I was not too lazy to handle cases and do these things later on." Well! In my opinion, who in this world is sitting or not? Who is the emperor? Not to mention that the fifth prince is the son of Zhao Wuji, even if the surname is no longer Zhao in this world, what does it have to do with me and Su Bai?"

"Xiao Bai, you..."

Xiao Wu was speechless after hearing Su Bai's words, not knowing what to say. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little heavy, Chen Yin quickly said: "Okay, okay, don't say a few words, now it's just about to It's noon, Xiaobai can stay for dinner, you brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good drink this time!"

After Chen Yin spoke, the atmosphere really eased up a lot. During the meal, Su Bai and Xiao Wu still didn't talk much, but after drinking a few glasses of wine, Xiao Wu became a little drunk, and the situation got better.

Xiao Wu drank all the wine in his glass, drunk in his eyes, and said, "Xiao Bai, what did you say just now are your real thoughts?"

Su Bai was very clear at the moment, nodded and said, "Of course it's the real idea."

Xiao Wu said: "Well, everyone has their own ideas. Everyone's encounters and experiences are different, so their ideas are naturally different. I can't force you. In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago. You are a knight and a true hero. People from the Jianghu, the imperial court, these things, I think you would have dismissed them in the first place."

Hearing what the other party said, Su Bai didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "I'm different. Since I was born, I've been called the grandson of a marshal, and I've been taught to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and I want to be the emperor!" , longing for happiness and enmity, so I entered the 'Jiugongmen' and became a headhunter, but the previous education still had a great influence on me, so I am still on the battlefield and in this position."

"That's why after I heard your words just now, I felt rebellious and didn't know what to say. But now that I think about it carefully, this is the original you! You and I are different, but... I just hope that you brothers , don’t meet each other on the battlefield in the future!”

After listening to Xiao Wu's words, Su Bai knew that this was what the other party meant. First of all, he was very happy, because from the other party's words, he could tell that the other party would not break up with him just because of his choice. The two now Still brother!That's more than anything!

Su Bai said with a smile: "Little Fifth Brother, don't worry, I promise, we brothers will never meet each other on the battlefield in the future, and even if it does come to that time, you are you, and the court is the court, they are two different things after all!"

Xiao Wu shook his head noncommittally, didn't say anything more, and Su Bai didn't say anything more, it's just that you drink a glass of wine, everything is in the air!
It wasn't until the next day that Xiao Wu asked why Su Bai came to him suddenly, and Su Bai said, "I came to the south for something, and I was a little worried about my third brother's safety when I thought of him practicing on Longhu Mountain in Ganzhou. After I went to Longhu Mountain, I saw the third brother, he was fine, but after he went up the mountain, he didn't know the situation in the world at all. After hearing that General Ji was defeated and the second prince occupied Ganzhou, he was very worried For your safety, clamor to go down the mountain."

"But the agreement with Daoist Qingfeng at that time was that he would stay on the mountain for three years, so I came out and inquired all the way to Xiaowu brother that you were in Yichang City, and that's how I found it."

After hearing this, Xiao Wu sighed: "It's good that Xiao San is fine! It's good that he's on the mountain now, so he doesn't have to worry about these troublesome things!"

Su Bai nodded. He knew why the other party said that. From what he said last night, Su Bai could tell that Xiao Wu was actually not interested in court affairs. A head catcher, it is only because of his identity and the education he has received since he was a child that he became what he is now. It can be said that he cannot help himself.

In fact, in Su Bai's mind, his own destiny, his own future, of course he has to decide for himself!Where do you need to care about others.

Of course, he is also standing and talking without pain in his back, he is alone, of course he doesn't need to worry about anything, Xiao Wu is not, and even if he is alone, sometimes the choices he makes are not completely compliant.
