The streets are still deserted.

Where the moon is dark, fireflies come again, and the pine trees and locust trees on the street are decorated with many fireflies, as if burning with flames, turning into trees of fire.

Nan Xuehu lay on the ground and turned his head, his face turned red, and he didn't want to look at Lu Jing any more.

Lu Jing squatted beside him, holding the snow-drinking knife in his hand, looking at Nan Xuehu curiously.

"So, you followed me specifically just to get such a beating?"

Nan Xuehu's breath froze and he remained silent, feeling helpless in response to Lu Jing's inquiry.

Naturally, he came here with Lu Jing not to be beaten. One of the reasons was actually that he had the Snow Drinking Knife in his hand and was wrapped in silver armor. He had broken into the realm of the Great Sun of Martial Arts a few days ago, and he only felt confident.

Manman wanted to find Lu Jing to relieve the boredom of being beaten up by him a long time ago.

However, Nan Xuehu had never thought that he, who possesses two fifth-grade treasures, a strong swordsmanship, and steel skin and iron bones, could be defeated so neatly.

Now in his heart, he actually doesn't have much dissatisfaction anymore.

He finally realized that the immature boy not long ago was becoming stronger at a speed that he could not imagine... The speed of becoming stronger was even beyond his comprehension.

"Perhaps even better than He Yu."

Nan Xuehu thought this in his heart.

He was silent, and Lu Jing just looked at him with a smile on his face and refused to let him get up.

After a few breaths passed, Nan Xuehu finally said in a dull tone: "I just wanted to teach you a lesson, and I'll ask you a question carefully...Then the Crown Prince of Qi painted a painting for you to give to him, why didn't you do it?

"

Lu Jing frowned and said, "It's a little strange for you noble masters. He asked me to paint and I have to paint?"

Nan Xuehu thought for a moment and said: "The State of Qi has become more and more powerful in recent years and is on the border with Dafu. Now that Northern Qin has risen, King Qi Yuan took the initiative to order Gu Chenxiao to enter Taixuan Capital. For Dafu, the State of Qi will

They are allies. Although Gu Chenxiao is a hostage, in Taixuanjing, his importance is much higher than that of ordinary princes.

It's just a painting. If you just paint it casually, you can save yourself a lot of trouble, so why don't you paint it?"

"Is that why you're asking these questions?"

Lu Jing's eyes were obviously bored and he slowly stood up.

He seemed reluctant to speak at first, but after thinking about it, he turned to Nan Xuehu and said, "He asked me to draw a real dragon, but I have seen his bone palace in a travel journal.

The Bone Palace was full of ghosts and was filled with flesh and bones.

Although my paintings are not great paintings, I don’t want to hang among them.”

Nan Xuehu was stunned for a moment, then slowly sat up.

His eyes fell on the snow-drinking knife in Lu Jing's hand, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

Lu Jing smiled casually, shook his head and said, "You were unconvinced and wanted to teach me a lesson. Now that you have failed, you have to pay a price. This fifth-grade sword is the price."

Nan Xuehu's face stiffened and he said in a low voice: "I remember... you don't use a knife."

Lu Jing nodded and said with a smile: "I really don't use a knife. I took this precious knife back and probably just left it in the house to gather dust.

But everything has a price. Since you took action today, you must learn a lesson.

Don't worry, I'll keep this precious sword for you. You can exchange it for something in the future, even a piece of grass or a flower. You can exchange it for this snow-drinking knife. As long as I like it, I'll give it to you.

I'll return the snow-drinking knife to you."

Nan Xuehu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the top of the Dongwangguan wall on the left: "Are you... competing in martial arts?"

Hear a familiar voice.

Both Lu Jing and Nan Xuehu turned their heads and looked at the white and blue brick wall of Dongwangguan.

But he saw Nan Fengmian with a curious face, sitting carelessly on the wall, with Xinggu Zhenren on his waist, watching the two of them.

"Uncle Six..."

Nan Xuehu's face turned even redder. He was sitting on the ground covered in dust, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth, making him look more embarrassed.

Lu Jing also smiled and said, "Senior."

Nan Fengmian jumped off the wall, came to the two of them, asked some questions, and pleaded for Nan Xuehu: "Lu Jing, Xuehu fought with you, he already lost, was injured again, and was beaten by you.

If you beat him, then you can simply return the Yinxue knife to him?"

"If senior asks me to pay it back, I will pay it back."

Lu Jing spoke freely, but then said: "But... he was beaten because he threatened me before, not as a price for what happened tonight."

Nan Fengmian raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and said: "In that case, you should take this snow-drinking knife away. Snow Tiger's skills are not as good as others. If you return the snow-drinking knife to him because of my words, you have betrayed me."

, but I feel bad.”

Lu Jing was not polite either. He raised his hand and drank the snow knife and disappeared, and he put it into the Yunkong Pattern.

Nan Xuehu sat on the ground, raised his head and glanced at the two of them, silently.

"But you two are quite courageous. This is the Dongwang Temple. There are many Taoist priests with advanced cultivation in the Dongwang Temple. You broke the green bricks on the street. Be careful they will chop you with their peach wood swords."

"Furthermore, Xuanyi Wei has already noticed that if it weren't for your identities and there is no killing intention between the swords, I'm afraid I would have to go to Xuanyi Si."

When Nan Fengmian said this, he poked his head and said to Lu Jing: "It's still early now, why don't you go and have a few drinks with me? I also hid a pot of bamboo leaf wine. It happens to be foggy and cold in winter.

The wind can warm you up."

It was indeed not too late at this time. Lu Jing thought about it and agreed.

Nan Xuehu felt relieved, stood up and was about to leave.

Nan Fengmian said, "Let's go back together. Lu Jing and I will have a drink while you warm the wine for us."

Nan Xuehu sighed inwardly and didn't want to look at Lu Jing's face anymore. He drooped his head and followed behind the two of them.

"Uncle Six...when did you become so familiar with Lu Jing?"

When Lu Jing was beheading Xu Baiyan on the Yanyu Bridge, Nan Xuehu actually knew that his sixth uncle stopped Master Meng Ru of the Jingyin Mansion.

But he didn't know the details, he just thought that Nan Fengmian was just helping out the injustice.

Looking back today, I'm afraid the relationship between my sixth uncle and Lu Jing is not that simple.

Nan Fengmian led the way, and the three of them walked for a while, and finally arrived at the place where he mentioned drinking.

Lu Jing raised his head and said helplessly: "How about... let's find a wine shop?"

Nan Fengmian laughed loudly: "You are not afraid of heaven and earth, how can you be afraid of this small Nanguo Duke's Mansion?"

"A small... Nanguo Duke's Mansion?"

Not only Lu Jing was helpless, but Nan Xuehu was also helpless at his sixth uncle's nonsense.

After Nan Fengmian finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and walked straight into Nan Mansion.

He insisted that Lu Jing had nothing to do with it.

Nanfengmian's courtyard is quite luxurious, and it is obvious that the steward of Nanfu has taken care of it carefully.

Lu Jing finally knew why Nan Fengmian asked Nan Xuehu to come and warm the wine.

Because there are no servants in this courtyard, but there are a few dogs.

Nan Fengmian walked into the courtyard, and several dogs of different sizes, some black and some white, ran out of the house and rubbed Nan Fengmian's trousers.

"Go, go, I have guests coming today, I don't have time to play with you."

Nan Fengmian waved his hand, and the dogs seemed to understand human language and ran away one after another.

The three of them entered the room. Nan Fengmian set up the stove, rummaged through the cabinets in the room and took out a pot of bamboo leaf wine.

While Nan Xuehu was silent, he was busy, fetching water, and then went out of Nanfengmian Courtyard to bring a few plates of side dishes.

The water has been boiled, and Nan Xuehu silently warms and pours the wine for the two of them.

The two clinked glasses and drank.

When you take a cup, you will feel a strong fragrance of bamboo leaves lingering in your mouth and tongue for a long time.

This bamboo leaf wine is soft in the mouth and not spicy in the throat. Ah.

"The wine in the golden basin is fragrant with bamboo leaves. If you drink five out of ten cups, you will not be able to understand it. After a hundred cups, you will start to go crazy. Every time you drink, you will become more excited."

Nan Fengmian said: "This bamboo leaf wine will be very soft after drinking ten or five cups. Only after drinking hundreds of cups will you realize the beauty of this wine.

Lu Jing, you and I will not come home until we get drunk tonight."

Nan Fengmian and Lu Jing were drinking and seemed very happy.

Nan Xuehu wondered in his heart that his sixth uncle was nowhere to be seen on weekdays. He was rarely seen during reunions in the mansion. Occasionally, he would chat with him. There were also many other children in the mansion who had never seen him, let alone

Talk about drinking with him.

I didn't expect Uncle Six to be so happy when Lu Jing came here.

The two of them drank wine and talked about ordinary things in Xuandu.
