Green mountains and green waters, white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers, well~ I can’t clearly see the white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers in this season. Walking on the road with the rural atmosphere blowing in your face, looking at the farmers working hard under the sun, the war is very far away from them.
Near yet far.
After admiring the busy farming scenery in the distance, the three of them continued to work hard on their ill-fated journey home.
A burst of rapid hoofbeats broke their tired silence, and the three of them moved toward the roadside in unison.
"Drive, drive, good dogs don't block the road." An arrogant voice sounded from behind the three of them. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, but the boy did not slow down because there were pedestrians.
The handsome young man on horseback waved the whip in his hand and slapped the horse on the buttocks. He passed by Chen Mo and the others like the wind, and laughed away.
San Bengzi and Er Gouzi waved their hands to disperse the dust stirred up by the fast horses, and cursed angrily: "Really, hurry up and get reincarnated."
Not long after the fast horse passed by, there was the sound of hoofbeats from behind again, but the sound of this horse's hoofs was not as rapid as the previous one, and there were more than one.
Then he looked back and saw another young man with a few followers. They met Chen Mo and the other three. The young man looked at their disgraced appearance and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sorry for the recklessness of the person just now."
I apologize to everyone."
"It's okay, it's okay." Sanbengzi, who was originally full of anger, was apologized by such a polite young man, and his resentment disappeared instantly.
The young man in white shirt bowed his hands to them and continued to look for the person from before.
"Is Ziyun Villa located in this direction?" Chen Mo asked at this time.
"Oh, you are also going to Ziyun Villa?" Young Master stopped his horse, looked at the three of them, then turned over and dismounted: "What a coincidence, I am also going to Ziyun Villa, why don't we go together."
"Young Master." Young Master's retinue shouted quickly.
"You guys follow up first, I'll be there soon." Young Master ordered.
"This..." Several of the subordinates were a little embarrassed, but after looking at their master's eyes, they nodded and followed the order, leaving their young master alone here to track down the person from before.
"Brother, if you have something to do, you should go ahead and do your business first. You don't have to go with us." Santengzi said with a smile. At this time, he had a good impression of this gentle young man.
"It doesn't matter, Ziyun Villa is not far ahead. If you're tired of riding, come down and take a walk, otherwise this baby won't be able to bear it."
The three of them were all stunned by the down-to-earth words spoken by this gentle-looking man, and their favorable impressions instantly increased.
"Yes, yes, I love hearing this. When I first learned to ride a horse, the things under my crotch also suffered a lot." Santengzi said with a hearty smile.
The young master's eyes lit up invisibly. He had already learned equestrian skills at a young age. It seemed that they were not what he saw, but just some mountain villagers.
"Did you go to Ziyun Villa to learn martial arts from a master?" the young master asked casually. After all, Ziyun Villa is still very famous in this area, and many people who like to learn martial arts go there to learn martial arts from a teacher.
"Oh, that's not the case. This guy wants to go there to have a look. We are just accompanying him." Santengzi really didn't know what Chen Mo was going there for, and they didn't ask. Anyway, in this place, just follow him.
, after all, he also wanted to return to Chu State.
"Oh?" Young Master looked at the other person with a cold and unsmiling expression, the young man who asked him before.
"I heard that Ziyun Villa exhibited some capable and righteous people who went to the border to serve the imperial court." Chen Mo said.
"So that's it, then you must have come here after reading that notice, but that notice has been around for a while, and I don't know if there is still such a thing." Young Master suddenly realized that these people were trying to gain fame.
"If you want to strive for fame now, now may not be the time to achieve it."
"How do you say it?" Chen Mo asked.
"I heard that Quzhou had just lost the battle and was forced back a lot by the Chu army. If we go now, we might easily die in those places." The young master said slowly about the situation he had received recently. Anyway, this is not the case.
What a secret, it’s just that some people at the bottom are slower to know.
"What! You said Chu State won the battle." San Bengzi and Er Gouzi said excitedly.
"The Chu State regained some of its advantage. In a war, there are winners and losers. Isn't it a success? By the way, why are you so excited that the Chu State won?" The young master was confused.
The two of them also realized their gaffe, but didn't know how to explain it. They could only smile awkwardly. Fortunately, Chen Mo came to the rescue and said: "Isn't it better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake?"
What Chen Mo means is that Shang Guo has been reporting good news one after another, and there will be no good rewards if you take credit for it at this time. If Shang Guo is bullied at this time and turns back, save yourself and others will value you more.
"My little brother is so generous, but I'm not as good as you." Young Master said with admiration. "However, this kind of wealth is gained through danger, little brother, it is not so easy to obtain."
"It doesn't matter, the three of us brothers are quite good at boxing and kicking." Chen Mo said calmly.
We do know some boxing and kicking skills, but as for you, you are not the only one who knows it. Sanbengzi and Ergouzi both despised this guy in his heart. When he told lies, his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat. There was no change on his face. No wonder this guy
He could deceive everyone in Tiger Hill Fort.
A group of four people were not so lonely along the way after they were joined by a young man who spoke and behaved very casually.
By the time a group of them arrived at Xiangyun Town at the foot of Ziyun Mountain, it was already afternoon, and after the hot summer, a cool wind began to blow.
Chen Mo felt here not the atmosphere of ordinary people at most, but more of the rough atmosphere of the world.
"This is the Xiangyun Town I mentioned before. There are many restaurants and inns here, and the prices are very affordable." The young master introduced it enthusiastically, as if introducing his own home.
"Is that Ziyun Villa?" Chen Mo looked at a group of buildings halfway up the mountain and asked.
"Yes, that's Ziyun Villa." Young Master nodded. "Little brother, do you want to go up and have a look now?"
Chen Mo nodded.
"I guess Zhuangzi has closed the door to thank guests now. Why don't we rest in the town for one night and go up again tomorrow morning." The young master said, he still knew a little about the rules of Ziyun Villa.
"Chen Mo, what are you talking about..." Santengzi approached Chen Mo and asked in a low voice. The latter sentence was not spoken, but Chen Mo also knew what he was going to ask. Where will he stay tonight?
Chen Mo?
The young man still heard the conversation and finally learned the name of the unsmiling young man. They communicated for a long time without asking each other's name.
The young master also noticed their embarrassment. Their clothes showed that they were people without much money, and said: "My surname is Xu. If you don't mind, I will be my host. I'll treat you to a snack and a meal. Let's meet each other."
edge."
Before Chen Mo could refuse, Santengzi and Ergouzi happily agreed: "Brother Xu is so refreshing."
The three of them followed the man named Xu into the town, and then came to a place called Yunlai Inn among the bustling crowd. Only then did they know that this place was this guy's property.
"Brother Xu, okay, it turns out you still own a restaurant." Santengzi looked at this well-decorated inn with envy.
"It's all an industry developed by our fathers. I'm just in the shadow of my predecessors." Mr. Xu led the three of them to sit down on the first floor of the inn, and soon a waiter came over to greet them.
"Ah, it's the young master. Why didn't you notify me when you came?" the child said enthusiastically, and then looked at the three guys next to him who were dressed like beggars. The disgust in his eyes flashed away.
"It's okay, just serve a few dishes. The others will come back later." Mr. Xu smiled and waved his hand, letting him go about his business.
"Brother Xu, is your family very rich?" Ergouzi asked this question rashly.
Mr. Xu didn't mind either and said, "It's not bad. I won't starve to death."
"When I get rich, I will open an inn like Brother Xu, so that I won't starve to death."
"You don't open an inn only if you have money, nor do you starve to death if you open an inn." Mr. Xu was amused by the words of a young man who didn't know his name but only called him Ergouzi. He seemed to be a quite simple young man.
.
Several people chatted with each other, and soon the waiter brought a few simple side dishes, which were not big fish or meat. Chen Mo and the other three also understood that they just met by chance, and besides, they were not green forest heroes or looked like them.
As a knight-errant in the world of martial arts, it is quite good to simply treat him to a meal.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten anything with flavor. Mr. Xu, you don't know. In the past few days, I've been eating roasted pheasant, field mice, etc. without seasoning, and my mouth has almost turned into a bird. Oh, this rice is really fragrant.
." Santengzi praised while eating.
After a simple meal, Chen Mo and the others, who had not even tasted the drinks, stood up to leave. Mr. Xu would not be too attentive, after all, he was just curious about these people.
Not long after Chen Mo and the others left the inn, the arrogant man who passed by Chen Mo came to the inn. Looking at Mr. Xu who was looking at him with a smile on his face, he said angrily: "Brother, why are you sick again?"
, when you see a down-and-out person, you think he is a master of martial arts, and treat him to delicious food and drinks. How many times have I told you, how can any master be in such a state of desolation? These are all nonsense made by Mr. Uncle. Besides,
How do those people look like masters?"
After the returnee heard this from his subordinates, he began to blame Mr. Xu, whom she called brother.
"No, I have to tell dad about this and ask him not to keep so much money on you, lest you waste all the family's money."
Mr. Xu looked at this man who had a serious look on his face and taught him a lesson, and smiled without saying a word.
