After the three of them walked on the main road for a while, they turned to a small road next to it. This small road meandered not far and passed through a hill. There were low narrow walls on both sides, sandwiching the road.
Zuo Mingyang said loudly to Lou Yun: "Brother Lou, after passing this valley, turn left. You won't have to go far before you reach my broken house."
Sure enough, after walking for more than half an hour, I saw a dark house in the distance, with high walls built outside, which looked very majestic.
Lou Yun smiled and said: "Brother Zuo, if all the houses in your area are shabby houses, then I'm afraid there won't be any good houses in the world!"
Zuo Mingyang laughed loudly and said: "After all, we have been robbers for more than ten years, so we must have something to support our appearance!"
Wan Huier asked curiously: "Brother Zuo, when you are robbers, do you just rob people when you see them? Do you just rob property or people as well?"
Zuo Mingyang shook his head, and said with a rare seriousness on his face: "Sister, although we are robbers, we are also robbers. We dare not say that we only rob bad people, but at least we have not robbed an ordinary person, and we only take money.
, it will definitely not harm anyone’s life!”
Based on Zuo Mingyang's character, Lou Yun believed that he was telling the truth, otherwise, he would never have gone against Wu Shaopin!
The three of them walked for a while. The door of the house not far away opened. A horse ran out from inside and galloped towards the three of them.
Zuo Mingyang laughed and said: "My brothers are here to greet me!"
After finishing speaking, Zuo Mingyang raised his arms and shouted: "Ma Chonglin, hurry up and call all the brothers to come out to greet me. I have met two more good friends today!"
Before the horse could get closer, it heard Zuo Mingyang's words and also shouted: "I know, brother!"
While speaking, he tightened the reins. The horse raised its four hooves and neighed in the air. It turned its head and rushed back towards the house.
Lou Yun said hurriedly: "Brother Zuo, there is no need to greet you. We brothers and sisters still have things to do. Send you here and we are leaving!"
Zuo Mingyang glared and said: "What, you want to leave, but that's not possible. You have to stay with me for at least ten days and a half, and let me fulfill my duty as a landlord. Let me tell you, brother Lou, if you don't
If you don't live here, you're looking down on me. If you send me to the woods just now and let me fend for myself, I won't make you my friend anymore!"
Lou Yun couldn't laugh or cry at these words. He had already sent him to his doorstep, how could he possibly send him back to where he was just now?
Lou Yun could only say helplessly: "Well, let's just spend the night at my brother's place!"
Zuo Mingyang didn't speak this time, but he was snickering in his heart. Why bother me all night? If you enter my house, brother, don't even think about leaving so early!
When the three of them arrived at the door of the house, the door of the house opened on both sides, and a group of people rushed out from inside. Although it seemed chaotic, it was orderly. Eight tall horses were lined up in front of them, and the people behind them were lined up in two lines.
Rows of people stood left and right, each person holding a flag with the big word "Yue" written on it. Then more than ten people walked out holding a bunch of fireworks, neatly stacking them on the ground, picking up the incense in their hands,
Lit the fuse of the fireworks
"Boom", "pop"!
It rang a full fifteen times!
Obviously, this is already the highest etiquette for Zuo Mingyang to welcome distinguished guests!
Although the behavior of these people seemed a bit funny, in the hearts of Lou Yun and Wan Huier, they were extremely moved. This was not just a kind of etiquette, but represented a kind of affection, indicating that the owner here was
Treat you as the most distinguished guest and best friend!
Zuo Mingyang got off the horse with the support of his brothers. He was originally asked to treat his injuries first, but Zuo Mingyang insisted on taking Lou Yun and the two in by himself. It was useless to persuade anyone.
In desperation, Lou Yun and Wan Huier could only follow Zuo Mingyang into the house, and then came to a hall. They were arranged to sit at the top of the already arranged dining table, and Zuo Mingyang went to bandage.
own injuries
In just a moment, Zuo Mingyang took care of his injuries and rushed back. At this time, the food and wine had been served, and Zuo Mingyang called a few more big men to come in and sit down.
Zuo Mingyang pointed at Lou Yun and Wan Hui'er and said: "Listen carefully, these two, brother Lou Yunlou and Wan Hui'er, sister Wan, are my saviors, Zuo Mingyang. From now on, they two
What you say is equivalent to what I say, you can do to them what you do to me, do you hear me?"
Several big men stood up together, bowed to Lou Yun and Wan Huier, and said loudly: "I heard you!"
Lou Yun and others hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, Zuo Mingyang said with a smile: "Brother Lou, sister, these brothers have been with me through life and death. Even if their cultivation is not very good, as long as I give an order, they can
You won’t even frown even to death!”
Although Zuo Mingyang said it in an understatement, Lou Yun knew that if you want your brothers to be willing to die for you, the prerequisite is that you must be willing to die for your brothers first. And judging from Zuo Mingyang's behavior, Lou Yun
It is not difficult to judge that he can definitely do it!
Zuo Mingyang waved his hand and said: "Brothers, toast!"
So all the big men stood up one after another, picked up the big bowls in front of them, and toasted to Lou Yun and Wan Huier one by one. These people are all real rough men, and they pay attention to eating meat in large pieces and eating large bowls.
Lou Yun can still accept drinking until the bowl is dry, but Wan Hui'er is in a worse situation. Although she has a bit of alcohol capacity, she can't stand up to so many big men taking turns to toast. However, after two bowls of wine, her little face is already
So red
Lou Yun quickly brought the sea bowl in front of her to him and said: "My sister can't drink well, so she asked me to drink her wine for her!"
Everyone naturally agreed that no one would embarrass a little girl. Although Lou Yun had hardly drank alcohol, his physical fitness was excellent. After the alcohol entered his stomach, it was directly absorbed by the body and then emitted from his pores.
So it’s just like a thousand cups can’t be poured out.
And people like Zuo Mingyang admire people who have a good drinking capacity and enjoy drinking, so through this heavy drinking, everyone's impression of Lou Yun is getting better and better.
Just when everyone was changing cups and drinking happily, Zuo Mingyang suddenly slapped his head and said: "Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot, sister, I just said I would give you a meeting gift, come on,
Brother, I will take you to choose!"
Wan Huier hurriedly declined: "Brother, I was just joking, how could I want your things?"
Zuo Mingyang's eyes widened and he said: "How can that be done? What I said must be kept. Let's go, I will take you to choose."
After saying that, she was helped by someone, and Wan Huier could only follow helplessly and walked to pick out gifts.
After a while, Wan Hui'er and Zuo Mingyang came back, and Wan Hui'er held a golden thing in her hand and happily jumped to Lou Yun's side and said: "Brother, look, this is Zuo Mingyang."
Something my brother gave me!"
Lou Yun took a look and saw that it was a ring, but the shape was rather strange. It turned out to be a small golden stove!
Lou Yun didn't care. Anyway, jewelry such as rings and earrings have a variety of shapes. He nodded and said: "Well, it's very unique. Keep it away!"
However, at this moment, Chang Xiang's voice suddenly sounded in Lou Yun's mind: "Boy, grab that stove quickly!"
It is not difficult to imagine that Changxiang is very excited now and even asked Lou Yun to grab Wan Huier's things!
Lou Yun was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Brother, what are you talking about? How can I snatch my sister's things? Besides, why are you snatching it? Do you want it?"
"Do you know what that is? Do I want it? Tell you, all the weapon refiners and alchemists want it!"
Looking at the shape of the ring, an idea flashed in Lou Yun's mind: "Is that a cauldron used for refining weapons?"
"Nonsense, of course it is, and it is not an ordinary cauldron. People have soldiers and cauldrons, and cauldrons also have cauldrons. It is the emperor in the cauldron!"
"So precious, elder brother, are you sure you read it correctly?"
"How could I be wrong? Ask the man named Zuo how he got this thing! Oh my God, how could he have this cauldron in his hands? Fortunately, it has always been in its prototype state and has not changed. Otherwise,
Someone has probably discovered it a long time ago! If they knew about it, they would all go crazy!"
Lou Yun was a little dizzy about what Chang Xiang said because he didn't understand, but he didn't ask further questions. Instead, he took the ring from Wan Huier's hand and asked casually: "
Brother Zuo, I really can’t believe that you actually have such a thing in your collection, haha, where did you get it from?”
Zuo Mingyang tilted his head and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying: "It seems that I really didn't steal this. How did I get it? The time is too long, I can't remember it!"
"Oh, it's okay, I was just asking casually!"
Zuo Mingyang didn't take this matter to heart, and everyone continued to drink and chat, and Lou Yun also returned the ring to Wan Huier.
Although Lou Yun knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Hui'er would definitely give the ring to him, but the key was that this was what Brother Zuo gave to Hui'er, and he really couldn't open his mouth.
After thinking for a long time, Lou Yun couldn't think of a good way, so he had no choice but to put it aside for the time being and talk about it later.
After everyone drank for a while, they all fell to the ground drunk and unconscious. The only ones who were still conscious were Lou Yun and the others.
Although Zuo Mingyang was a little drunk, he was still very sober: "Brother Lou, I haven't asked you about your origins in detail yet? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything, but looking at you two, brother and sister, no
How can ordinary people come to a small place like ours? Where are they going?"
Logically speaking, since Zuo Mingyang is regarded as a friend, she should not hide anything. However, Hui'er's identity is too special, and what she wants to do involves the safety of several countries, so Lou Yun did not say anything
To be honest, I just said that I was a brother and sister from the ancient Feng Kingdom. They were going to Canglan Country to find a friend. However, due to an accident on the way, I got separated from my companion, so now I am the only two left!
Zuo Mingyang believed everything they said. At this time, he patted his chest hard and said: "Brother Lou, you two can stay here with me for a few days. After my leg is healed, I will
Call some brothers and send you to Canglan Country!"
When Lou Yun heard this, he quickly refused: "It won't be troublesome!"
"Why, you look down on our brothers again. Since you and I are friends, then don't be polite to me. That's it!"
"No, Brother Zuo, we have to go to Chiyan Mountain before we go to Canglan Country!"
Zuo Mingyang's eyes suddenly widened: "Chiyan Mountain? What are you doing there?"
Wan Huier rushed to answer: "Let's go kill some monsters!"
Zuo Mingyang rubbed his temples vigorously, looked at the two of them and said: "You are too courageous to go to Chiyan Mountain to kill monsters. It's not that I look down on you two. If you go, you will die. You know
Are there anyone living on Chiyan Mountain?"
"I know, there seems to be a group of bandits living there!" Lou Yun heard the waiter in the inn talk about it.
Zuo Mingyang slowly shook his head and said: "Brother, that's not a robber..."
Just as he was talking about this, a little brother suddenly rushed in from the door: "Boss, there is someone outside!"
Zuo Mingyang was interrupted mid-sentence, and he glared angrily: "Nonsense, aren't there people outside!"
"No, no, no!" The man shook his head like a drum: "Boss, there is a man outside, saying, saying, he wants to see..."
"What are you seeing? Tell me! Xiaosanzi, why are you so hesitant in speaking today!"
The mistress secretly glanced at Lou Yun and Wan Huier before lowering her head and saying, "She said she wanted to meet a friend of the boss named Lou!"
Zuo Mingyang, Lou Yun, and Wan Huier suddenly looked at me and me, with a big question mark in their hearts!
Lou Yun and Wan Huier met Zuo Mingyang accidentally, and they decided to come here on the spur of the moment. Even if Lou Yun was beaten to death before, they would not believe that they would sit in a bandit's den and call themselves brothers with the bandit leader. However, now someone comes.
When we got here, we asked to see Lou Yun by name. This was so strange!
Who is this person? How did he know that Lou Yun would be here?
Lou Yun was moved in his heart and asked: "Could he be from Wu Shaopin?"
Zuo Mingyang shook his head and said: "Impossible, my brothers all know those brats around Wu Shaopin. Hey, mistress, are the people outside from Wu Shaopin?"
"Absolutely not!"
The three of them thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason. Lou Yun was not ready to think about it anymore. No matter who it was, he just wanted to meet him. So he stood up and was about to walk out, but Zuo Mingyang pulled him away.
He stopped and said: "Brother, this is my territory after all. Since I'm here to come to you, whether you're a friend or an enemy, you have to let me, the master, meet you first!"
Zuo Mingyang stood up with a cane and said to his mistress: "My mistress, please take my brother and sister to my room in the back now! I'll go meet this person!"
