Me and my Jianghu Tavern

The third son of the Su family, Su Xue is the only one left now.

He didn't say anything about Su Bai's death, but Su Mu's death completely made him make up his mind.

I vaguely remember that at that time he said this: "Second brother has loved swords for half his life, so I will learn swords."

Chapter 358: Su's past

In the small house in Xuzhou City, there was warmth from the stove.

The heavy snow hadn't melted yet, so ordinary people couldn't stand the cold.

Su Cheng warmed a pot of wine, sat in the main room, had a drink, and warmed up his body.

"Squeak."

Seeing that the gate of the small courtyard was pushed open, Su Xue returned to the courtyard with a pack of oiled paper bags.

This house is not big, compared with the original Su Mansion, it is up to the sky and down to the ground, but it is still more comfortable than those poor people. Although the Su family has declined, they still have money left over, so they can make ends meet.

"father."

Su Xue walked to the stove and sat down, put the oiled paper bag in his hand on the table, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of mist, and stretched out his hand to warm it up.

Su Chengping calmly asked, "Where did you go?"

"I went to the theater." Su Xue replied.

Su Cheng nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is the singing good?"

"It's okay, I worked hard, and I understand the general idea."

Su Xue used to be a man who didn't go out of the gate before, and he had never heard of opera, so he could only understand the general idea of ​​listening to opera this time.

I only heard Su Cheng say: "Listen to the opera to listen to the rhyme, and watch to see the gods. It's good to watch more if you have nothing to do. Don't stay in the study and read books all the time. You always have to go out for a walk."

"Yeah." Su Xue agreed, took the oil-paper bag on the table, and said, "Father, I bought a roast chicken on the street. It's freezing. Eat it quickly, or else you'll have to eat it." It's cold."

"Okay." Su Cheng smiled and opened the oiled paper bag.

It contained a whole chicken.

The father and son had a rough idea. It was a joy to eat a roast chicken and warm a pot of wine in this snowy day.

The roast chicken is not finished, but there is still a lot left, only to hear Su Xue say: "I will send the rest to the eldest brother and the second brother."

Su Cheng paused, sighed and said, "Okay."

Su Xue nodded, then picked up the oil paper and walked into the room.

There were two spirit tablets in the room, and the melons and fruits on display were rotten and gave off a foul smell.

Su Xue packed up those melons and fruits and threw them away, took down the burnt candle, replaced it with new ones.

Pity his two elder brothers, there is not even a corpse left.

Su Xue placed the remaining half roast chicken in front of the spirit card, sighed, and said: "Now I'm about to enter the Profound Realm, everything is fine, second brother, don't read it."

After finishing speaking, Su Xue stood in front of the spirit tablet for a while, then turned his eyes away and went out the door.

He couldn't let go of his two older brothers.

He is the youngest of the Su family. Both elder brothers have learned martial arts, but he is the only one who is good at literature. He has been studying for more than ten years. The two elder brothers have never looked down on him, and even more cared for him.

The bond between brothers and sisters will never be forgotten.

After leaving the house, Su Xue returned to the lobby.

He added some charcoal to the fire, and the fire burned up, and he didn't feel cold anymore.

"Crackling."

The charcoal fire burst into sparks and made a crackling sound, and the father and son just sat idle in front of the fire, trying to speak.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the fire in the stove also gradually dimmed.

"Father." Su Xue said.

Su Cheng almost fell asleep, he came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Xue asked, "Do I still have a cousin?"

"Cousin?" Su Cheng fell silent and asked, "How do you know?"

Su Xue picked up the wooden branch on the ground, shook the charcoal in the fire, and said, "I met you while listening to the play, Dad, tell me about Uncle."

"You want to know?" Su Cheng wasn't surprised at all, but thought it was normal.

"En." Su Xue nodded.

He only has these few relatives left in this world, and he doesn't want to miss them anymore.

"Your uncle..."

Su Cheng raised his head, but there was some sigh in his eyes. Whenever he mentioned this person, he always felt guilty in his heart, but he didn't know where the guilt was.

Su Kuang, whose single name is Kuang, has been crazy since he was a child.

For hundreds of years in the Su Mansion, two people have been produced in each generation, one who learns spears and the other who learns swords. In Su Cheng's generation, there are four brothers, and the qualifications of the four brothers are pretty good. A man who practiced spears and swords.

At that time, Su Kuang learned how to shoot with him.

As the big brother, Su Kuang never gives in. Su Chengcheng has never defeated him for many years. Su Cheng still remembers that his greatest ambition at that time was to beat his big brother.

Su Cheng wanted to win, maybe it was because of his heart. In the duel with Su Kuang, he attacked like crazy. It was also that time that Su Kuang missed and injured his right arm tendons.

After that, Su Kuang left the Su Mansion, and never came back since then.

After all, Su Kuang couldn't bear the guilt of hurting his brother and left the Su family, and Su Cheng also practiced the spear on his left arm because of the injury to his right arm.

When Su Cheng said this, he sighed and said, "If I didn't know what to do at the beginning, there wouldn't be so many things."

"It is indeed father's fault." Su Xue said.

He doesn't shy away from it, this matter is already very clear.

Wrong is wrong, there is nothing to say.

Su Cheng murmured: "At the beginning I went to Jian'an to look for him, but only found a lonely grave. Your father and I have only regretted it in this life."

"Two things." Su Xue said, "There is also the death of the eldest brother and the second brother."

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Yes, two pieces."

Su Xue asked again: "Father, why didn't you bring your cousin back?"

"It's your uncle who forbids it. I guess I thought I would look for him. My niece stayed in Jian'an in the end and was brought up by a man named Jiang Anshan."

"Who is Jiang Anshan?"

"It's your uncle's friend."

Su Xue raised his head and asked, "Surnamed Jiang? Is it related to Ping Jianghou of Chang'an today?"

"You guessed right." Su Cheng smiled and replied, "It's Ping Jianghou's brother."

At the beginning, the Su Mansion had a very good relationship with the Pingjiang Hou Mansion.

Many years ago, Jiang Anshan came to Su Mansion to study martial arts, met Su Kuang, and the two became friends. Ever since Su Kuang left Su Mansion, Jiang Anshan has followed.

"Then why didn't he go back to the Marquis of Pingjiang?" Su Xue asked suspiciously.

"do not know."

Su Cheng didn't know these things anymore, people have their own choices, he didn't know Jiang Anshan well, but he didn't know why he followed Su Kuang in the first place.

"I have to pay a visit when I have a chance." Su Xuedao.

"Let's talk about it." Su Cheng said: "In my generation, among the four brothers, two learned swords and two learned guns, but in the end it was two who entered the officialdom. I learned guns but didn't reach the essence. They are completely different, and in the end, only your uncle is the one who stands out."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng became a little envious.

Although Su Kuang didn't survive in the end, he passed with a cry.

In contrast, he, the head of the Su family, has never been happy in half his life, and the position of the head of the Su family was not what he wanted, but in the end it fell on his head.

In fact, for Su Cheng, it is enough to have a hut, warm a pot of wine on this snowy night, and have someone to talk with him.

as it is now.

Chapter 359: Go early and return early

Above the night sky of Xuzhou City, a giant eagle hovered, looking at everything underground with its sharp eagle eyes, and no suspicious person could escape its eyes.

But in that city of Xuzhou, under the cover of the night, nothing could be seen, only a little shadow shaking.

In the Jiangfu courtyard, Zhang Ming had just poured a glass of wine, but he suddenly frowned, put down the wine gourd, stood up, walked to the edge of the courtyard, and looked up.

"There seems to be something on it." Zhang Ming muttered softly, he couldn't see the outline clearly, and he wasn't sure what it was, but it should be a living thing.

But seeing Jiang He walking beside him, he replied, "That's the Giant Eagle of Medicine Valley, a spiritual creature of heaven and earth."

"Is that so?" Zhang Ming then remembered the giant eagle of the Demon Sect. He had seen it once, "Such a big eagle is rare."

"Spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, only these two ends are found in this world, and they are all in the Demon Sect now." Jiang He paused, and added: "So is your civet cat."

"Xiao Qi?" Zhang Ming couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it will only meow."

Jiang He rolled his eyes at him, and said, "It's because you don't know how to raise it, you give it to me, and I can make it beat that giant eagle in half a year."

"Forget it, it's not suitable for this kind of thing." Zhang Ming only thought of Xiao Qi as a mascot, and didn't plan to turn it into any beast.

"Tell me about this giant eagle." Zhang Ming changed the topic and asked, "What are you doing hovering over Xuzhou City? Don't you want to rest?"

Jiang He took a sip of wine and shrugged his shoulders: "What else is there to do? It's nothing more than catching people. You can see the eagle from here, but you can't see the people standing on top of the eagle."

"Impermanence?" Zhang Ming frowned.

"It's probably him," Jiang He said.

In the entire Heavenly Punishment Alliance, there are very few people who can use this giant eagle. Giant eagles are heaven and earth spirits. They appear in pairs and die in pairs. They have each other's companions in their eyes, and there are very few people who can make them recognize it.

Jiang He Sansan said: "When these two giant eagles were caught back then, only Yaogu yam could make these two giant eagles recognize it. It is also because these two giant eagles fell under the gate of Yaogu."

"Yam? Medicinal ingredients?"

"Look at your ignorant appearance, that is the owner of Medicine Valley."

Zhang Ming didn't bother to care who the owner of Medicine Valley was, he raised his head to look at the shadow hovering in the night sky,

Zhang Ming wondered who was so unlucky that he could attract Wuchang himself to take action, touched his chin and said, "I want to go and see."

"It's nothing to look at. The girl Yam is pretty, but she has a bad temper."

The corner of Zhang Ming's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "I'm talking about the person Wuchang is looking for."

"You should have said it earlier." Jiang He glanced at him and said, "If you want to see it, go and see it, but your kid's level is estimated to be on par with Wuchang."

"I don't think so." Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "Isn't it easy for you to beat him? I think I should be able to beat him."

Jiang He snorted, and said, "You know what, Wuchang dares to use his full strength in front of me? I don't even look at who I am."

"Hehe..." Zhang Ming laughed ironically, and was about to refute.

But at this moment, an eagle's howl resounded throughout Xuzhou City.

"Howl!"

The sharp eyes of the giant eagle seemed to be looking for prey. Looking down from that high altitude, one could see the lights of thousands of houses, and anyone who had left the city.

Wuchang sitting cross-legged on the giant eagle slowly opened his eyes, saw that the giant eagle found the person he was looking for, patted the giant eagle's head, smoothed the feathers, and said a word: "Let's go."

As soon as the words fell, the giant eagle swooped down like a flying rainbow towards a corner of Xuzhou City.

Zhang Ming came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "It seems that I found it. Would you like to go take a look with me?"

"No." Jiang He shook his head, he was not interested in these things.

Zhang Ming snatched the wine gourd from Jiang He's hand, and said with a smile, "Then I'll take this wine first, and you can drink it when I come back."

"You boy! Damn..."
