Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

The second floor of the inn.

The old friends Li Qing and Yan Bufan had just left, and the old friends Yang Ge and Shen Fa came up again.

Yang Ge stood on the edge of the railing, looking down at Luting County, which was not only becoming prosperous but also becoming colorful. He said with some emotion: I didn't expect that you would dare to come to see me...

Shen Fa took a sip of coarse tea and said with a gentle smile: We can't... we really won't see each other anymore, right?

Just as Yang Ge was about to speak, Zhao Yuan came upstairs anxiously carrying a tray of food.

When Shen Fa saw her, he quickly stood up and went to meet her: How dare you let His Highness serve the food in person? There are no other waiters in the store?

Zhao Yun became more and more panicked when she heard him reveal her identity without hesitation. She looked timidly at Yang Ge who had his back to her at the railing... Did she remember that when Shen Fa and Wei Heng sent her off? When she came to Luting, Qian warned her not to reveal her identity, otherwise her life would be in danger. For this reason, they even let her live outside the palace for a period of time in the capital to adapt to civilian life. Although the destination Yang Ge's home became the Yuelai Inn, but she never forgot their instructions.

When Shen Fa saw this, he smiled kindly and said, Your Highness, don't worry, this man has always known your Highness's identity. Since he has not made things difficult for you, it means that he recognizes that you are at the inn, and you don't have to worry about His Majesty calling you back to the palace. Your Majesty is very satisfied with your performance at the inn, and last month he sent a reward of three thousand taels of silver and one piece of necessities to the imperial concubine.

ah?

When Zhao Yu heard this, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with panic.

Yang Ge frowned and turned his face and cursed: I said you have healed the scar and forgot about the pain, right? I am the man at Yuelai Inn, it is your turn to teach me? Who do you think you are?

Even though he was scolded, Shen Fa still smiled and nuzzled at Zhao Yu's back towards Yang Ge, giving her a reassuring look.

When Zhao Yu heard his shouting and cursing, he suddenly felt a lot calmer and was no longer as panicked as before.

Yang Ge looked at her with tears in her eyes, frowned more and more, and cursed: Why are you still standing there? Didn't you see your boss is here? Make me a cup of tea... If you dare to spit or add sand into my cup, you will be dead!

Pfft.

Tears welled up in Zhao Yuan's eyes, but he laughed.

She smiled and blessed Yang Ge's back: The shopkeeper, please wait a moment. The little lady will make tea for you right now.

After saying that, she walked and jumped downstairs with joy.

Shen Fa took the dinner plate back to the square seat against the railing and sat down. He started to spread the dishes himself, smiled and murmured in a low voice: You, you, you are still so sharp-tongued and stubborn, and you don't accept your overflowing conscience. If you have a kind heart, you will have a lot of trouble in the future.”

Yang Ge laughed angrily at his shameless words: If it had been anyone else, I would have killed him eight times!

Shen Fa smiled even more happily: Looking at you like this, you get along with the eldest princess... quite well?

Yang Ge turned around and replied calmly: No need to test me, I just think I have a kitten or puppy.

Shen Fa was slightly distracted when he heard the words, and inexplicably remembered the first time he saw this toad, when he was lying on the old table, weakly murmuring: I have no relatives, I can't let it have no relatives.

He couldn't help but nodded and said: It's pretty good...

Yang Ge pursed his lips, sighed softly in his heart, and said, Now that we have finished talking, I will say one more thing... Even if Zhao Miao is just a kitten or puppy, he is still my Yuelai. Kittens and puppies in the inn, you'd better not make any fuss about her, otherwise, I will regard it as your provocation against me!

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Shen Fa, and said seriously: You are the one who understands. I won't tell lies. When I came back from Japan, I actually endured it very hard. I always wanted to kill all the bullshit in front of me with one blow. , the dirty people and things will be chopped to pieces... You'd better not try to consume my endurance, I won't get any good fruits without you.

Meeting his gaze, Shen Fa's eyelids twitched, and he forced a smile and said, You are too wary. What good can we gain from dealing with someone like you?

Yang Ge raised the corners of his lips silently, his eyes sarcastic.

The smile on Shen Fa's face gradually turned into a sneer.

Okay, don't let me grind your teeth here.

Yang Ge withdrew his gaze: If you have any questions, just tell me. You, Commander Shen, can't just come to my place to have such a simple meal, can you?

It's nothing serious.

Shen Fa breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a mouthful of pork head meat with his chopsticks, and put it into his mouth to chew slowly... It was indeed very rough: I just stopped by to tell you that you have something to do with the money you lost.

Yang Ge became interested: How do you say it?

Shen Fa put down his chopsticks and said slowly: The ones who robbed your money are a group of rats hiding in the mud at the bottom of the rivers and lakes. Our people caught the tail of this group in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Unfortunately, the front feet were reported and the back feet were cut off by them. The clue...many people died.

Yang Ge slowly frowned: Are you sure it's a mouse, not a tiger?

Shen Fa looked at him: You are the tiger.

Yang Ge sneered: I don't eat people.

Shen Fa: So they only deserve to be mice.

Yang Ge: Is there a mouse as big as the Grandmaster?

Shen Fa: To us, that's a master, but to you, isn't that a mouse?

Yang Ge: What does it have to do with me?

Shen Fa: They robbed your money. What do you think it has to do with you?

Yang Ge: Listen to what you said, it's really none of my business...

Shen Fa: It was originally your fault, but we were dragged into the water by you.

Yang Ge thought for a while and said happily: What do you want to do? Give me a happy message!

Shen Fa shook his head: What do you want to do? We are waiting for your happy words!

Yang Ge: That's easy. You give me a safe address. I'll go there and chop them all to death. Then everyone will be safe.

Shen Fa remained silent.

No matter how the process changes, the method is indeed the same.

But when Yang Ge said it so easily, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

Yang Ge was so strong that he was a little uncomfortable...

This may be the difference between a counselor and a reckless man.

What a counselor thinks about is strength and weakness, pros and cons, success or failure, worthiness, and stability.

What the reckless man wanted was to find him and hack him to death.

After a long silence, he spoke again and said seriously: This matter is not as simple as you think.

Yang Ge replied without hesitation: It's you who always make things so complicated!

Shen Fa glanced at him helplessly: Do you still remember what I said to you before you went to Japan?

Yang Ge: Didn't I finish the matter and come back intact?

Shen Fa: Then why do you think this group of people came to you?

Just as Yang Ge was about to ask why, he inexplicably remembered the black-armored master's previous sword strike that was very similar to Dongying's sword-drawing skills, and asked instead: Does it matter?

Shen Fa said hmm for a moment and replied: Although I currently have no reliable clues to prove that this group of people is related to your trip to Japan, I have reason to suspect that that group of people came to you because of this matter. of.

Yang Ge asked doubtfully: Doubtful?

Shen Fa spread his hands: Just tell me whether my suspicion is accurate?

Yang Ge was speechless.

You can doubt this guy's character and integrity, but you really can't doubt his brain power and strategy.

When Shen Fa saw that he was silent, he took advantage of the victory and said, Besides this matter, what other reason could they come to you for? What do they want from you? They can't really want your three million silver, right?

Yang Ge argued with reason: People outside the building say that I am the best in the world, but you are a simpleton who knows nothing about football!

Shen Fa looked at him with a strange look: Are you fooling around with these losers? You only got the title of No. 1 in the world after this group of people robbed you of your money. Is it possible that they can still do it? A prophet?

Yang Ge stopped talking again.

Shen Fa looked at his speechless expression and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, but he quickly suppressed it: Actually, since the last time when a peerless master popped up out of thin air, I looked it up There are a lot of documents.”

In the end, with His Majesty's permission, I was able to read through the daily records of the past emperors. Finally, I found a few words in the daily records of Taizu, from which I learned that at the end of the previous dynasty and during the chaos of the world, the world of China was briefly controlled by an extremely powerful mysterious force. After being overawed, at the right time, the black and white factions of the world, including Quanzhen, Shaolin, Mingjiao, White Lotus Sect, as well as the Taishan League and the Five Poison Sect, which were dominant at the time, all obeyed the orders of this mysterious force and wandered among various anti-kings.

It wasn't until Taizu swept across the Eighteen Roads to unify the north and sent an army of 200,000 people south to defeat the Red Scarf Army led by Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult at that time, that the mysterious force retreated again. After the new dynasty was established, Taizu My Lord also assigned me, the predecessor of the Xiuyi Guards, the 'Qinjun Duweifu', to go south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to conduct numerous investigations, but all of them came back empty-handed.

I have reason to suspect that the group of people who robbed you of your money are from some mysterious force. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that a peerless master would pop up out of thin air in the world!

Yang Ge was fascinated by what he heard. He came back to his senses and said angrily: Since you have clues, why are you still going around in circles with me?

Shen Fazuo said helplessly: I told you that I don't have reliable clues yet. These are all speculations I gathered from the documents. What can be proved?

He had a look of helplessness on his face, but Yang Ge seemed to see the fox tail behind him that was flapping left and right like Xiao Huang.

He couldn't help but clenched his fists.

Shen Fa noticed his movements and hurriedly waved his hands and said: Hey, well, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. A gentleman should talk but not use his hands!

Second brother, second brother, do you want to beat him?

Zhao Yu ran out of the corridor with a teacup in hand, waving his little fists with excitement in his eyes: Let me do it, let me do it, I'm not a gentleman, I can do it.

She had been hiding on the stairs downstairs and eavesdropping for a long time.

She was already at the stairs when Yang Ge said she was the kitten and puppy of Yuelai Inn and warned Shen Fa not to make a fuss about her.

Yang Ge laughed and pointed at Shen Fa: Go, give him two slaps to make him remember!

Okay!

Zhao Yu flashed a small white tiger tooth and walked towards Shen Fa with an evil look and moved his wrist... I told you that you just deliberately scared my aunt!

Shen Fashan smiled and leaned back: Well, Your Highness, this humble minister is sincere and can be learned from the sun and the moon!

Zhao Yu raised his fist.

Yang Ge casually flicked out a wisp of sword energy that was hard on the outside and soft on the inside, breaking through Shen Fa's golden bell shield.

Bang bang.

Zhao Yu hit Shen Fa on the head with two fists, but the pain still made his face shrink.

She endured the pain, put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, If you dare to make our second brother angry again, my aunt will beat you to death!

Shen Fa obviously didn't lose a hair on his body, but he still clasped his hands aggrievedly and said: Your Highness taught you a lesson that I will bear in mind.

snort!

Zhao Yu tilted his head, turned around and waved to Yang Ge cheerfully: Second brother, I'm going to be busy. If you want to help, just call me!

Yang Ge waved his hand expressionlessly: Go.

Zhao Yuan walked briskly, walking and jumping towards the stairs.

Shen Fa watched her disappear at the top of the stairs, the aggrieved look on her face slowly disappeared, and he sighed: The old saying is true, no one can keep a good girl!

Without further ado!

Yang Ge stared at him with an unkind look: Let's get down to business, what do you want to do?

Shen Fa shook his head: I don't want to think about anything. I just ask these rats not to come out and act like monsters. It is not easy for the Wei Dynasty to achieve the prosperity and peace it has today. It cannot be ruined in the hands of these rats who are afraid of chaos in the world!

Yang Ge frowned: You want me to show weakness and ask for peace?

Shen Fa shook his head again and replied forcefully: On the contrary, I hope you can be tougher... Of course, under the condition of cooperating with the court.

Yang Ge laughed angrily at his shamelessness again: Did I give you shame? You just want me to be your thug?

Shen Fa said quickly: Don't talk in vain. If you want anything, just ask and I can discuss it with the officials on your behalf!

His words actually stopped Yang Ge from questioning him.

What does he want?

Too much!

He wants to go home, he wants to spend time with his parents, sister and brother, he wants to watch TV for a while, he wants to drink a can of iced Coke, he wants to eat a pot of authentic Chongqing old hot pot...

But what kind of thing can Emperor Xiping give?

In other words, what could Emperor Xiping give that he couldn't get with his own hands?

Yang Ge was silent for a long time.

And Shen Fa's heart also dropped with his silence.

The silence at this moment... was deafening!

After a long while, Yang Ge picked up the tea cup with half interest, drank it in one gulp, and said softly: Forget it... I will take over this matter. You can go investigate on your own. If you need me to take action, just send me a message and I will go there.

Shen Fa pursed his lips hard and said with difficulty: Do you really have nothing you want? Money, power, fine clothes, land in a monastery, food and beautiful maids, as long as you ask, I can do it for you. You go ask the officials for it!

Yang Ge looked at Luting County where the lanterns were lighting up at dusk, and smiled softly in the warm evening breeze: It's good now. It would be even better if you wouldn't come and cause trouble for me...

This time it was Shen Fa's turn to remain silent for a long time.

After a while, he sighed softly and said: When people live, they have to move forward.

Go forward?

Yang Ge breathed out softly: 'Moving forward is not the way home...'
