Chapter 535: Many encounters by chance, meeting again on the road

Immediately, Xu Fengnian came back to his senses. He was originally a rogue character. How could he admire others and feel ashamed? However, even a moment of confusion was enough to show how shocked Xu Fengnian was by the two of them.

Xu Zongjia and Bai Huerlian also looked away at this time. Baihuerlian smoothed the long hair on his forehead unnaturally.

Xu Zongjia looked at the surprised looks in the three people's eyes, and immediately realized that his actions at this time were somewhat inappropriate. After all, he was just an ordinary cowherd boy now. How could he have such knowledge? He could only smile and hurriedly said goodbye.

"You three, I still want to hand over the old cow to the master, so I'll take the first step!"

Xu Zongjia didn't wait for everyone to speak, and gently patted the old scalper's back, urging the old scalper to run forward. The old scalper was huge, and when he ran, he splashed a trail of smoke and froze in place. of three people.

Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang looked at each other and put away the surprise in their eyes. The knowledge and words of this shepherd boy were not ordinary people. They thought that this was another person with ulterior motives who deliberately approached, and they were secretly on guard. Unexpectedly, The other party actually slipped away first, which made the two of them extremely embarrassed.

"It's really unlucky. Why do I keep meeting Xu Fengnian, the troublemaker, today? I have to keep some distance from him, so as not to get into trouble and disturb the peaceful life of myself and the old man!"

Xu Zongjia's only thought at this time was to take good care of Xu Yongguan, who was blind and lame. He did not want to pay attention to the rights and wrongs of the outside world, especially the turmoil between Beiliang and Liyang dynasties. As the prince of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian was like this In the midst of this dispute, Xu Zongjia hoped to stay far away.

"It's really getting late tonight. I'm afraid the city gate has been closed. I'm afraid I and this old scalper will have to rest in the wild all night!"

Xu Zongjia raised his head and glanced at the sky. A ray of afterglow was being swallowed up by the darkness. After experiencing so many things today, Xu Zongjia was unable to return to the city in time. He could only find a place to rest today.

The next day, when it was already bright, Xu Zongjia straightened up the upper body he was leaning on the old scalper, rubbed his groggy eyes, stretched his arms and let out a leisurely yawn, then stood up and prepared to return to the city.

The journey today was uneventful. The city wall was already in sight. Xu Zongjia urged the old scalper on his crotch again and hurried towards Beiliang City.

Suddenly, Xu Zongjia grabbed the reins, and the old scalper stopped quickly. Xu Zongjia glanced at the small wine stall in front of him in surprise. He had passed this road every day for these years, and he had never seen a stall selling osmanthus wine here. , unexpectedly appeared out of thin air today, and turned out to be a monster if something went wrong. He was about to ask the old scalper to speed up and avoid this place, but was stopped by a greeting.

"Little shepherd boy, we meet again. How about sitting down and having a glass of wine?"

Xu Fengnian had just sat down and wanted to have a glass of sweet-scented osmanthus wine with Lao Huang and then go straight to the city. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that he saw Xu Zongjia again. Thinking of Xu Zongjia's performance before, he felt moved in his heart and shouted. Hello, I hope I can have a chat with Xu Zongjia, and find out the details of Xu Zongjia by the way, to see if the other party is coming for me, and if he has ulterior motives and deliberately approaches me.

Although Xu Zongjia was extremely reluctant, after all, he had to bow his head when he was under the eaves. He was just an ordinary shepherd boy, and Xu Fengnian was the prince of Beiliang. He had to make a living on someone else's territory, so he had to give him some face, not to mention After all, Xu Fengnian was involved with Xu Yongguan. Xu Zongjia had no choice but to press down on the old scalper's body, get off the cow's back, lead the old scalper to the wine stall, tie the reins to the tree, and then sit at Xu Fengnian's table. Down.

"This is my first time to rest here. I have never been here to drink before!"

Xu Zongjia looked at the wine bowl in front of him and drank it without any courtesy. He was extremely heroic, but there was a reminder in his words and a strange color in his eyes.

Xu Fengnian's expression did not change when he heard this, but there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes. Lao Huang next to him did not notice this at all. He only paid attention to the osmanthus wine in the bowl. In fact, the wine was ordinary, very turbid, and tasted sour. , the taste is also bland, and it should be mixed with water. Although the wine is not good, it is cheaper, and you can drink a bowl for three pennies.

It was thanks to this that Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang could afford to drink at this time. The two of them traveled all over the world and were short of money. Their total net worth was only a few tens of pennies. This was because they lived frugally and cheated. It was hard to save up, and now that I was about to return to the Northern Liang Palace, I thought about squandering this huge amount of money and having a good meal.

Xu Zongjia couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he saw that Xu Fengnian was half-believing and suspicious. After all, he was just a stranger to Xu Fengnian. He was too wary to trust himself.

Xu Zongjia turned his back to the store and made some movements with his hands. He clenched his right hand into a fist and knocked it lightly against his chest. This was a common military salute in the Beiliang Laozi Camp back then. Xu Zongjia has listened to Xu Yongguan's memories of past life and glory since he was a child, so he is very familiar with the military salute of Beiliang Laozi Camp, which is the most suitable way to communicate with Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian's eyes opened slightly, and he was surprised. He didn't expect that this mysterious shepherd boy would be related to the Beiliang army. However, judging from his age and dress, he didn't look like a Beiliang cavalry. He should be a veteran of Beiliang in all likelihood. After that, it was one of his own. Thinking of this, Xu Fengnian had great trust in Xu Zongjia.

Xu Fengnian understood that he was in danger, and without reminding Lao Huang who was enjoying the sweet-scented osmanthus wine beside him, he ran out of the shed with Xu Zongjia.

Lao Huang opened his mouth and closed his eyes and tasted the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that he had never been able to drink in the past three years. His expression was wretched and in ecstasy. His left foot was still on the bench. The straw sandals on his feet were full of dust, and there was even a faint trace of... Due to the smell of his feet, he didn't even notice that Xu Fengnian had already ran out of the hay shed.

"Heroes, your sword has no eyes, so you'd better be careful!"

The group of bandits from yesterday appeared here again, with swords placed on the necks of Xu Fengnian and Xu Zongjia, and they were led back to the hut again.

Xu Fengnian reminded the other party fearfully, not wanting to die here in a daze.

"Stop talking nonsense, today we have to let the devil Xu Xiao feel the pain of losing his son, so that we can be relieved of the pain of losing our country!"

The bandit leader was sitting at the square table and said impatiently.

At this time, Lao Huang looked at the sword in front of him with a blank expression, wondering why he was being held hostage again.

"This good man, I let you go yesterday. Shouldn't you reciprocate today and wait for your life?"

Xu Fengnian glanced at the bandit leader with fear and reminded him carefully.

"This is impossible. After all, the hatred between the country and the family is irreconcilable!"

The bandit leader was stunned when he heard this, and then apologized bitterly. He also knew that what he did was really unkind, but he still did not change his original intention.
