"I can't stand it anymore - I'll slip away first."

Lao Xing couldn't stand this kind of torture, he rushed out of the inn in a hurry, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only Lao Bai and Su Xuan, and even Xuan Hu covered his ears with his two paws tremblingly.

It took a while for Tong Xiangyu to calm down.

When it was time for dinner, the shopkeeper and Xiao Bei reconciled, talking and laughing, it was really faster to turn faces than to turn books.

Three days later, the old woman drove into Su's house with a carriage, which was exactly the 7000 taels of gold that Wu Yue'er had promised.

Keep a part for spare, and put all the other gold in the underground secret room.

Life is still as peaceful as ever. I get up every morning to practice swords and boxing, and go to the inn to help out at noon.

As for Xuan Hu, sometimes when he gets tired of staying in the courtyard or in the inn, he swims across the Xiliang River from the trail at the back door, gets into Cuiwei Mountain, and comes back after playing for a day and a half.

When you are lucky, you can even catch some prey and bring it back, which is barely a subsidy for the family.

Xiliang, thousands of miles away

This place is adjacent to the barbarians, and the sky is full of wind and sand. It is an out-and-out desolate place. Everyone in Xiliang carries a knife, and every household keeps armor.

Every year, large and small fights break out on the border, and the 40 cavalry are Xiliang's pinnacle of Dinghai.

Because of the existence of these 40 cavalry, the grassland people could not pass Xiliang, and the Heyang royal family could not move the Xiliang king.

Xiliang Palace

In the courtyard, there are small bridges and flowing water, green mountains and ancient trees, rockery ponds, rippling blue waves, willows, and blue sparrows.

Shi Ting Nei

The prince of Xiliang was wrapped in a white robe, sitting on a stone bench, his expression could not reveal any emotions, and beside him stood a beautiful maid, young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a long white skirt and a full waist. Grip, black hair and shoulders.

Cherry mouth, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, creamy skin that can be broken by blowing, slender eyelashes, and a little pink in the white of the cheeks.

There was a jug of rice wine and two coarse porcelain wine bowls on the table. Years of experience had made this Xiliang prince's body and mind extremely tough.

for a long time

Lao Huang came out of the yard with a sword box on his back, and grinned at him. The missing front tooth was very conspicuous. He walked straight and sat down opposite Shizi.

"Do you really want to go?"

When the young man opened his mouth, it seemed that he was just asking casually. He knew very well that this was Lao Huang's knot in his heart.

As a martial artist, he has his own choices, and he also has things to do that he hasn't done yet.

"My lord, I have been hiding from this battle for many years, and I have thought it through this time."

Old Huang said: "I can't hide anymore."

"Are you sure you can beat him?"

Shizi asked.

"No."

Lao Huang shook his head: "I have been with the son for several years. Although I created Jianjiu, I still don't have the confidence to beat it."

The prince was silent for a long time.

Lao Huang choked up: "The Jian Jiu I created doesn't have a name yet, so please think of one."

The young man pondered for a moment, and the scenes of the past few years echoed in his mind, walking through snow mountains, across deserts, through jungles, and climbing over cliffs.

"After several years of traveling, we have traveled six thousand miles, how about your Jianjiu called six thousand miles?"

"Six thousand miles."

Lao Huang muttered to himself, then laughed loudly: "A good name is Jian Jiuliuqianli."

"Go, I'll see you off."

The prince got up, Lao Huang led the yellow brown horse, walked out of the palace, and walked along the long street.

"Old Huang, I have rice wine on display, waiting for you to return in triumph."

The young man shouted at the back of Lao Huang who was drifting away, under the rising sun, beside the ancient road, one person rides one by one.

When Lao Huang left Xiliang, he didn't go directly to the East China Sea, but went all the way south, following the road that he went north.

He is going to Guanzhong to meet his last friend.

The sky is long, the clouds are steaming, the sun is rising, and the yellow and brown horse neighs, dragging out a long and narrow shadow.

The young man returned to the palace without saying a word, and locked himself in the courtyard without seeing anyone. He knew that after Lao Huang left, he would probably never come back again.

"dong dong dong"

"dong dong dong"

A maid in a long white dress stood at the door and knocked gently on the door.

"Not seeing anyone."

"Don't knock on the door."

The crown prince shouted in the room, but the maid outside did not follow suit.

"you are annoying."

The door opened, and he looked at the maid in white skirt standing quietly at the door.

Guanzhong Qixia Town

The time is left, June and July, it is the hottest season, the scorching sun hangs in the sky, and the hot sun shrouds the mountains.

The air is filled with dry and hot breath, and the people who are drying in the sun are sweating profusely, but there are still many farmers farming in the fields.

At noon, there was no one to be seen on the street, and in the inn, the maid fan in Tong Xiangyu's hand was about to break.

But the sweat still couldn't stop flowing down his face, and Da Zui and Lao Bai were also lying on their stomachs weakly.

"Boss, the weather is getting hotter every day."

Lao Bai poured a pot of cold water vigorously, only then did he feel more comfortable all over his body.

"Wait a little later, go to Xiao Su's yard to escape the heat."

Lao Bai said: "There is a bamboo forest in the backyard, it's cool, and there's a small path that goes directly to the Xiliang River."

There were very few guests at noon, only seven or eight scattered. After finishing their work, the door of the inn was closed, and Tong Xiangyu, the shopkeeper, took the lead and ran towards Su's house next door.

Stepping into the front yard, you will be surrounded by green trees, various fruit trees, bamboo groves, and grape trellises, covering the sky and sun, and covering the gazebo corridor.

The stream flows with cool groundwater, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. In order to prevent mosquitoes, rats and ants, many camphor trees were transplanted in the courtyard.

Pass through the lobby of the front yard and come to the middle yard. There are layers of lotus leaves in the pond, and thousands of ribbons hanging from willows.

The green bamboos are swaying, the cool breeze is faint, in the gazebo, Su Xuan is lying on a chair to take a nap in the morning, Xuan Hu's body is mostly soaked in the pool, only his head resting on the stone is exposed, his eyes are half-closed.

There was a continuous grunting sound from his nose. This guy is now in the shape of a calf, weighing about two hundred catties. He not only eats a lot, but also has great strength.

With an easy slap, a wild boar was knocked to the ground, and the entire area from Xiliang River to Cuiwei Mountain forty or fifty miles deep was Xuanhu's territory.

Xiaobei sat on the stone bench, copying the Three Character Classic.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Bai, Dazui, why are you here?"

She was surprised.

"It's too hot, come here and blow some air."

Lao Bai unceremoniously took off his boots, put his feet in the pond, soaked in the cold water, and opened the pores all over his body.

"Wow, Brother Bai, your feet smell so bad."

Mo Xiaobei hastily pinched her nose.

Tong Xiangyu was almost fumigated.

But after Da Zui took off his boots, they didn't know what the real stink was.

"vomit"

The shopkeeper hurriedly hid in the distance: "Big mouth, please, please put on your boots."

"Big mouth, if you don't put on your boots again, be careful I will hit you."

Lao Bai also pinched his nose and gestured with his right hand, even Xuan Hu hid his head under the water.

Dazui, who was outraged by the public, had no choice but to soak his feet in the creek in the front yard with a resentful expression on his face.

"That's the day."

Lao Bai and Tong Xiangyu each carried a bamboo chair and put it under the shade of bamboo by the pond, lying on the chair, enjoying the cool wind.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Su Xuan opened his eyes, looked at the two of them, and shouted at Xuan Hu, "Take out the fruit wine frozen in the pond."

It fell into a deep sleep, and after a few breaths, it came out holding several palm-sized jars in its two paws.

Inside is Su Xuan's self-brewed fruit wine. The taste of the wine is not very strong, but it has a mellow aroma and an excellent taste.

There are not many of them, and they are all sealed and hidden under the pool for soaking. In this weather, having a drink is simply not too comfortable.

Sure enough, after tasting the fruit wine again, Lao Bai couldn't put it down, even the shopkeeper drank two more glasses, and lay down on the chair with flushed cheeks to take a nap.

Xuanhu growled twice, pointed at the remaining bottle with his paw, his eyes were fiery.

"Drink, drink."

He nodded.

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Xuanhu's sharp teeth precisely bit the stopper open, finished a bottle of fruit wine with two gulps, and licked his mouth with his tongue, showing an expression that was still unfinished.

"Go! Go! Go."

He said with disgust: "Last time I drank half of it secretly for you, and there is only so much left, don't even think about it."

Xuanhu ran to his feet and lay down on his stomach, hugged Su Xuan's feet with two paws, rolled over and over, and kept rubbing his head against his clothes.

"I can't take you."

Su Xuan waved his hand: "Just drink another bottle, remember to go to the mountains tomorrow to pick more fruits."

Xuanhu got up in a hurry, took out another bottle from the sink and drank it with his head up.

Immediately, he fell asleep in the pool, snoring like thunder, and the bamboo forest beside it trembled.

Under the scorching sun, a yellow-brown horse slowly stepped into Qixia Town. On the horse's back was a man wearing a bamboo hat, carrying a sword box on his back, and an old gourd hanging from his waist.

It was Lao Huang who came from Xiliang, and went straight to Shangru Inn, but when he arrived, the door of the inn was closed.

"Treasurer Su."

Lao Huang got off his horse, stood at the door and yelled a few times, but no one answered. He raised his head, glanced at the plaque, and asked in surprise, "Why is it Tongfu Inn?"

At this time, he happened to see a policeman in official robes approaching, so he went up to meet him and asked, "Big brother, where is the former owner of this place, shopkeeper Su of Shangru Inn?"

Lao Xing looked at Lao Huang and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm a friend of shopkeeper Su. I've come from afar and want to visit him."

Lao Huang hurriedly explained.

"It turned out to be Xiao Su's friend."

The vigilance in Lao Xing's heart disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Brother Su has already transferred the inn."

Pointing to the front, he said: "I don't see it anywhere. There is a Su's house. If there is no accident, Xiao Su should be in the house at this time."

"Thank you."

Old Huang clasped his fists.

"It's okay, my name is Lao Xing, and I'm brothers with Shopkeeper Su. It just so happens that I'm okay now, I'll take you to find him."

Lao Huang didn't have much of the airs of a quack and the arrogance of a master, and he got acquainted with Lao Xing in a few words.

"dong dong dong"

Lao Xing knocked on the door and shouted, "Xiao Su, are you here? Open the door."

For a while, there was no movement inside, just when Lao Xing thought no one was there, the door suddenly opened.
