Xiao Shijiro

Chapter 13 The Eagle King's Secret (2)
The young master said: "I want to ask you to find out when Lian Chengbi's wife, Shen Bijun, will return to her in-law's house, whether Lian Chengbi will go with her, and which way she plans to go."

Tu Xiaotian said: "It's not difficult, it's just..."

The little prince said: "You want to ask me why I inquired about her, but you dare not ask, don't you?"

Tu Xiaotian smiled apologetically, "I don't dare, it's just..."

The young master said: "It's just that again. In fact, it doesn't matter if you ask. I can tell you that I came out this time to bring two things back."

Tu Xiaotian tentatively said, "One of them is naturally the deer-cutting knife."

The young master said: "One more thing is the number one beauty in martial arts——Shen Bijun."

Tu Xiaotian's face suddenly changed color, and he seemed to be out of breath all of a sudden.

The little prince smiled and said, "This is my business, what are you afraid of?"

Tu Xiaotian murmured: "Young master may not have seen that Lianchengbi's martial arts and swordsmanship, as far as I know, this person is deeply hidden, and..."

The young master said: "You don't need to say, I also know that Lian Chengbi is not easy to mess with, so I want to ask you for a favor."

Tu Xiaotian wiped his sweat, and said, "Only...as long as I can do what I can, but please tell me, my lord."

The young master smiled and said: "You don't need to wipe your sweat, it's not difficult... Lian Chengbi thinks he will escort his wife home, so you have to think of a way to lure him to another place."

Tu Xiaotian couldn't help wiping his sweat again, and said with a wry smile: "Lian Chengbi and his wife are deeply in love, I'm afraid..."

The young master said: "Are you afraid that he won't take the bait?"

Tu Xiaotian said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

The young master said: "If it were me, I would naturally not want to leave that flowery wife, but no matter how big the fish is, we always have a way to get him to take the bait."

Tu Xiaotian said: "What method?"

The young master said: "If you want to catch big fish, you have to use fragrant bait."

Tu Xiaotian asked, "Where's the bait?"

The little prince said: "Lian Chengbi's family is rich, both civil and military. He is famous all over the world at a young age, and he married a virtuous and beautiful wife like Shen Bijun. What do you think he wants now?"

Tu Xiaotian sighed, and said, "You should be content with being like him."

The little prince smiled and said: "People's hearts will never be satisfied, he still wants at least one thing now."

Tu Xiaotian said: "Could it be a deer-cutting knife?"

The little prince said: "Not bad."

Tu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Besides the deer-cutting knife, I really can't think of anything else in the world that can make him fall in love."

The young master said leisurely: "There is only one...that is Xiao Shishilang's head!"

Tu Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and said, "That's right, they all thought that the deer-cutting knife had fallen into Xiao Shishilang's hands. If he could kill Xiao Shishilang, not only would he become more famous, but the knife would also be his."

The young master said: "So, if you want to catch Lianchengbi, you have to use Xiao Shishilang as bait."

Tu Xiaotian pondered and said: "But how to catch this fish, I still need to ask you to teach me."

The young master shook his head and sighed: "Don't you understand this method? You just need to tell Lian Chengbi that you already know Xiao Shishilang's whereabouts, and Lian Chengbi will follow you naturally."

With a mocking smile in his eyes, he continued: "A person like Lian Chengbi, if it was for fame and status, he would even give up his own life, and his wife would have been put aside earlier."

Tu Xiaotian laughed and said: "In this way, it is not a blessing to be married to someone like Lian Chengbi."

The young master smiled and said, "That's right. If I were a woman, I would rather marry Xiao Shishilang than Lian Chengbi."

Tu Xiaotian said: "Oh?"

The young master said: "If a person like Xiao Shishilang falls in love with a woman, he will be desperate, but Lian Chengbi has too many scruples. It is not easy to be the wife of such a person."

The autumn sun is sometimes unbearably hot.

There is a wine seller under the shade of the tree. The wine is very cold, quenching thirst and satisfying. There are also flowering broad beans, salt and pepper peanuts and marinated eggs to go with the wine. Although the taste is not good, it is very clean.

The wine seller was a white-haired old man with a red nose. Looking at his distilled nose, one could tell that he must also like a drink or two.

Although he was dressed in ragged clothes, he had an air of resignation on his face. Although others thought that his life was not very good, he himself felt very satisfied.

Xiao Shishilang has always admired this kind of person.

If a person lives alone, as long as he lives happily, why care about other people's ideas?

Shi Shilang really wanted to chat with the old man, but the old man was a little absent-minded.

So Xiao Shishilang could only drink the wine by himself.

Drinking is like playing chess. Playing chess with yourself is extremely boring, but drinking alone is really boring. Xiao Shishilang never wants to drink alone.

But here happened to be a fork in the road, he was sure that Shen Bijun's carriages and horses would pass by here, he was not sitting here to drink.

It's not a pleasant thing to be used as "bait" by others, Xiao Shishilang could hardly bear to fight that young man that day.

But he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has already learned the word "wait". No matter what he does, he has to wait for the best time.

Xiao Shishilang finished the seventh bowl and was asking for the eighth bowl.

The red-nosed old man squinted at him, and said with a smile, "Do you want to drink more? I'm afraid you won't even be able to walk."

Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you can't walk and sleep here? If you can use the sky as your blanket and the earth as your bed, it doesn't matter if you are drunk and can't wake up?"

The red-nosed old man said: "You don't want to rush back?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "Where do you go back? I don't know where I came from, but you taught me how to go back?"

The red-nosed old man sighed and murmured, "I'm afraid this man is drunk and talking nonsense."

Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "Doesn't the wine seller want others to drink? Get the wine quickly."

The red-nosed old man snorted, and was scooping up wine when he suddenly saw a dusty spot on the road, and a group of people rushed towards him from a distance.

Xiao Shishilang's eyes lit up immediately, without even a hint of alcohol.

This group of people, some with eagles on their arms, and some with dogs in their hands, are all dressed in fast clothes, wearing bows and arrows, and there are some prey hanging by the saddle, obviously they have just returned from hunting.

Autumn is a good time for hunting.

The person sitting on the first horse seems to be a child. Looking from a distance, I can see a person with pink make-up and jade decorations. joyous".A handsome young master.

The red-nosed old man also saw that a big deal was coming, so he lifted his spirits, but Xiao Shishilang was a little discouraged, because that was not the person he was waiting for.

The red-nosed old man opened his throat and shouted: "It's so clear and sweet, Zhuyeqing, one bowl will give you energy, two bowls will give you energy, and three bowls will make you feel better than a god."

Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "I have already eaten seven bowls, why am I still not energetic at all, and am about to fall asleep instead?"

The red-nosed old man glared at him, but luckily the people and horses had gradually stopped at this time, the rich young master on the first horse said with a smile: "There is still a long way to go back, let's have a drink here first, it seems that the wine is not bad .”

I saw this rich young master's round face, big eyes, small mouth, fair and tender skin, and dimples on each side of his face when he smiled, he was really indescribably cute.

Even Xiao Shishilang couldn't help but look at him twice more. Although there are many rich young masters in this world, there are not many cute ones, and there are very few cute rich young masters who are not airy.

This rich young master actually paid much attention to Xiao Shishilang, just as he sat down on the blanket that others had laid for him, he suddenly smiled at Xiao Shishilang and said, "It's better to be alone than to be happy alone, this friend Why don't you come over for a drink too."

Xiao Shishilang smiled and said: "That's great, I only have money for eight bowls of wine, and I don't know where the ninth bowl of wine is. If someone treats you, it's exactly what you want."

Young Master Kuo smiled even more happily, and said: "I never thought that my friend would be so forthright. Hurry up and order some wine."

The red-nosed old man had no choice but to pour a bowl of wine over, but glared at Xiao Shishilang again, and murmured: "There is free wine to drink, I'm afraid I'll get drunk faster now."

Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "It's rare to get drunk a few times in life, and it's even better to get drunk soon, please."

As soon as the word "please" came out, the bowl of wine was gone.

Others "drink" when drinking, but Xiao Shishilang "pours" when drinking. As long as he tilts his neck, a bowl of wine will disappear immediately.

Young Master Kuo clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Have you seen how fast this friend is drinking?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "If they haven't seen it, they can perform it a few more times."

Young Master Kuo smiled and said, "This friend is not only forthright, but also interesting, but he doesn't know Gao's name?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "You and I met by chance, you invite me to drink, and I will leave after drinking. If I know your name, I will be grateful, and I will definitely treat you to dinner in the future, so now this wine is drunk. It's boring, so the name... I don't need to tell you, it's better if you don't."

Young Master Kuo smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, you and I are destined to spend half a day here today. Come, come... This stewed egg looks not bad. If you drink with eggs, you will get drunk slowly. You can drink more."

Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "Yes, yes, if you get drunk too quickly, it will be boring."

He picked up a marinated egg, suddenly raised his hand, and threw it up high, then raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and caught the marinated egg, three bites of two eggs were eaten.

Young Master Kuo said with a smile: "Friends are not only fast in drinking, but also fast in eating eggs..."

Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "It's just because I know that I will die sooner than others, so no matter what I do, I never dare to waste time."

This wealthy young man seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old at most, but he had an astonishing amount of alcohol. Xiao Shishilang drank a bowl, but he could also drink a bowl with him, and he drank not slowly.

Those who followed him were all strong and vigorous men, but none of them could drink as much as him.

Xiao Shishilang's eyes were already narrowed, his tongue was getting bigger, and he seemed to be half drunk.With people who are seven or eight percent drunk, drink more and faster.

It is very difficult for a person who is seven or eight percent drunk to not get drunk.

Xiao Shishilang was still drunk after all.

Young Master Kuo sighed, shook his head and said: "It turns out that he doesn't hold much alcohol, but I'm very disappointed."

The red-nosed old man said with a smile: "He himself said that he can sleep here when he is drunk, and it doesn't matter if he dies drunk."

Young Master Kuo stared and said: "He is finally my guest, how can I let him sleep here?"

He waved his hand and told his subordinates, "Look at this friend, take him back when we leave."

At this time, the sun had not yet set, but there were no pedestrians on the road.

Young Master Kuo seemed to feel a little disappointed, he looked at the road with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said: "Old man, get ready, it seems that you have business again."

Sure enough, another group of chariots and horses came in the distance.

Although the black-painted carriage was very old, it still looked very dignified. Of course, the doors were open, and curtains were hung on the windows. The people sitting in the carriage obviously did not want to be seen.

The driver was a very calm middle-aged man with sharp eyes. There were three retinues at the front and rear of the carriage, all of whom were also very capable knights.

This line of chariots and horses was going very fast, but the rich young master's chariots and horses had already blocked half of the road, and the chariots and horses had to slow down when they arrived here.

The red-nosed old man immediately took the opportunity to solicit business, and shouted loudly: "It's so clear and sweet, Zhuyeqing, guests, please get off your horse and drink two bowls! If you miss this place, you won't be able to drink such good food in hundreds of miles nearby. Alcohol."

The knights on the horse licked their lips, obviously wanting to have a drink or two, but none of them dismounted, just waiting for the rich young master's subordinates to clear the way.

Suddenly a person in the carriage said: "You guys are tired after driving for half a day, so stop and have a drink!"

The voice is clear and gentle, and there is a kind of sympathetic thoughtfulness and care, which makes people obey her willingly.

The knight on the horse got off his horse immediately, bowed and said, "Thank you, madam."

The people in the carriage said again: "Old Zhao, you can also get out of the car and have a drink. We are not in a hurry anyway."

Old Zhao, who was driving the carriage, hesitated for a while, and finally drove the carriage to the side of the road. At this time, the red-nosed old man had scooped up three bowls of wine for the knights, and was scooping up the fourth bowl. Those who got the wine were already ready to drink.

Old Zhao suddenly said: "Wait a minute, first check if there is any poison in the wine!"

The red-nosed old man's face immediately turned red, and he said angrily, "Poison? There will be poison in my wine, okay, poison me to death first."

He really drank the bowl of wine in his hand.

Old Zhao ignored him at all, took out a silver spoon from his bosom, scooped a spoonful of wine into the jar, saw that the silver spoon didn't change color, took a sip, and then nodded, "You can drink it."

The knight holding the wine bowl in a daze breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and drank it down, and said with a smile, "This wine is really good, I wonder how the egg is marinated?"

He chose the biggest marinated egg and was about to put it in his mouth.

Old Zhao suddenly shouted again: "Wait a minute!"

The rich young master didn't pay attention to them at first, so he couldn't help laughing now, and murmured: "Could there be poison in the marinated eggs? This friend is too careful."

Old Zhao glanced at him, and said with a serious face: "When you go out, you can be more careful, it's better to be more careful."

He took out a small silver knife from his pocket and was about to cut open the marinated egg.

Young Master Kuo had already walked over, and said with a smile: "I never thought you would carry so many interesting things on your body, my friend. We also want to make a similar one. I wonder if you can lend me my friend?"

Old Zhao looked him up and down again, and finally handed over the small silver knife in his hand.

For a person like this rich young master, very few people can refuse his request.

The silver knives are quaint and refined.

Young Master Kuo gently stroked the blade with his fingertips, his expression on his face became more gentle, and he smiled and said: "It's such a delicate knife, but I don't know if it can kill people."

Old Zhao said: "This knife is not used to kill people."

Young Master Kuo smiled and said: "You are wrong, as long as it is a knife, it can kill people..."

Speaking of the word "kill", the knife in his hand flew out, turning into a silver light, and speaking of the word "human", the knife had already been inserted into Lao Zhao's throat!
Old Zhao roared angrily, pulled out the knife with his backhand, and rushed towards the rich young master.But the blood had shot out like an arrow, and his strength flowed out along with the blood.

Before he could take three steps, he fell down and fell at the feet of the rich young master, his eyeballs were already protruding, he did not believe that such a thing would happen until his death.

Young Master Kuo looked down at him, his eyes were still so gentle and lovely, and said softly: "I said that all knives in the world can kill people, you should believe it now!"

The three knights seemed to be petrified. They never dreamed that such a handsome and lovely rich man was actually a murderous devil.

It wasn't until Old Zhao fell that they drew their waist knives out of their sheaths, shouting angrily and swinging their knives towards him.

Young Master Kuo sighed, and said softly: "You are not my opponents, so why come to die?"

The eyes of the big man who drank the first bowl of wine just now were red, and before he could finish his sentence, "Slash Huashan with a knife", a ghost-headed knife had already slashed at the top of the rich young master.

Young Master Kuo shook his head and said with a smile, "It's really bad..."

He didn't even move his body, he lifted his hand lightly, and with only two fingers, he caught the edge of the knife, and the knife seemed to be cut into a stone.

The big man turned his wrist, intending to cut off his fingers with the blade.

Suddenly there was a sound of "Du", an arrow had already shot into the back of the big man, the shaft of the arrow entered from the back, and pierced out from the front of the heart, and blood dripped from the arrow tuft drop by drop.

Although these things are very long to say, it only takes two sentences before and after. The other two big men have just rushed in front of Young Master Kuo at this moment, and the first cut has not yet been made.

At this moment, a person in the carriage said slowly: "You are indeed no match for him, you should retreat!"
