Brother, are you married?

The next day, Lin Xuan followed Wang Mingmao to meet the highest leader of Loucheng, Duan Yi.Loucheng belongs to the direct-governed area of ​​the whole land, and there is no mansion underneath, so it is not counted as a state, but because of its special location, it has the control power similar to that of a state. Therefore, people here call the person in power "Lanzhu".

Walking through the long courtyard to the back hall, Lin Xuan looked around. The courtyard is very chic, but not extravagant, which has won his favor. It seems that the landlord should be a good official for the people.

Sitting in the living room, Lin Xuan smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and waited patiently. At this time, he saw the same uncle Wang Mingmao who had just left walking towards this side. He squinted and saw that he looked familiar. He was waiting for someone to come to him. Before Wang Mingmao could speak, Lin Xuan said, "It's you?"

The man smiled and didn't speak.

"Uncle, who is this person? Why hasn't the landlord come over yet!" Lin Xuan stepped on his feet and looked into the distance, hoping that the protagonist would appear today.

Wang Mingmao felt a little unnatural, "Cough...cough, Lin Xuan, let me introduce you, this is the landlord."

Lin Xuantou couldn't believe it: "The landlord?"

Looking around, "No, the host shouldn't be an old man with long beard and white hair or a middle-aged man with a pot belly, how could he be so young!"

"Hehe, can I take it as your compliment to me!" Duan Yi once again had a smile on his face.

"If you want, I have nothing to say!" Lin Xuan curled his lips, still brooding over what scared him that day.

"Lin Xuan, don't be presumptuous. Is there anyone who talks to the landlord like this?" Wang Mingmao's face darkened.

As soon as Lin Xuan heard it, he thought, it's bad, this is not a new century, there is free speech, this is an era with clear hierarchy and order.

"Lord, Lin Xuan lives in the countryside with his junior brother, he has a casual personality and has no other intentions, please don't blame the landlord!"

Duan Yi's expression remained the same: "It doesn't matter!"

The three sat down in the living room.

Lin Xuan's spirit was a bit sluggish, Duan Yi asked several times about the measures to eliminate the source of the disease, Lin Xuan said a few words in a formal manner, and had nothing else to say, probably seeing Lin Xuan's indifference, and ended the conversation.

On the way back, Wang Mingmao also noticed that Lin Xuan was strange. Thinking about what happened in the morning, he should have spoken seriously, "Lin Xuan, are you angry?"

"What?" Lin Xuan was a little confused.

"Looking at your lack of energy, I think I'm a bit harsher today. Uncle Master is not targeting you, it's just that there is no room for us to be careless, do you understand?"

"Uncle, worry too much, I'm not unhappy because of your words, I know you're doing it for my own good, I'm just a little homesick." Lin Xuan lowered his head and said softly, Wang Jiazhai didn't need to consider any dignity when speaking, Lin Xuan I really want to go back.

"Home? After more than 20 years away, I have forgotten what it looks like!" Wang Mingmao said with emotion.

"Where is the uncle's hometown?"

"Me" turned to look at Lin Xuan, "It's where you are. Your master's father is my master. When I was young, my family was poor, and I went to a pharmacy as an apprentice early on. The master treats people with gentleness and courtesy, unlike others, Beating, scolding and scolding the apprentice, so he studied in the pharmacy for a long time and practiced medicine with the master for several years. Once he was in danger in the field collecting medicine and was rescued by someone who was about to join the army, so he had the heart to join the army, so he bid farewell to his hometown and came to this building If you stay in the city, you will spend half your life."

Lin Xuan couldn't help asking: "Have you ever thought about going back?"

"The reason why Loucheng is Loucheng is the imperial court's expectation for him. Although it seems that the country has been prosperous for decades, the border is full of conflicts. Therefore, when you integrate into this place, you will have a sense of responsibility to protect your home and country. reluctant to leave."

Then he said: "There is also an unwritten rule in this Loucheng. Every five years there is a martial arts competition. Whoever wins to the end will be qualified to become the highest leader of Loucheng. The reason why Duan Yi became so young The landlord, because of his amazing skills, defeated everyone two years ago and became the landlord of this building."

It was an eye-opener for Lin Xuan, and he admired him for being able to have such abilities at such a young age.

It was already early winter, and the epidemic in Loucheng had been almost dealt with. Lin Xuan and Dr. Liu mentioned the idea of ​​going back, thinking that they could rush back a year ago to spend the New Year with Wu Shanqing and the others.

But the disease is under control, and the source of the disease has not yet been determined. Doctor Liu and Lou Cheng's doctor are trying their best to find the cause to prevent future troubles, so they will not be able to go back for a while, and Lin Xuan is not at ease if he goes back alone, so he advised him to wait. , Lin Xuan had no choice but to agree, and ran back to the room disappointed to write to Wu Shanqing.

The last time Wu Shanqing replied to the letter, he wrote about Shan Xun and Yuanyuan, and then asked him to take good care of himself, take care of his body, etc., and didn't mention himself at all. Lin Xuan couldn't help crying when he read the letter .

Since then, I went to Loucheng, and the host also took the initiative to invite Lin Xuan to come out together.It must be that people of the same age have common topics, and Lin Xuan is not so aware of dignity, so the relationship with Duanyi is gradually getting better, and they go out together if they have nothing to do.

Here, the most worth mentioning by Lin Xuan is that he has learned how to ride a horse. In the past, Lin Xuan was envious every time he saw someone riding a horse in a heroic manner. Now, he can ride a horse freely.

This time the two met again to go out to see the desert land hundreds of miles away from Loucheng.The two rode horses, set off early in the morning, and arrived at their destination in the afternoon.The sun sets very early in winter, and the red sun is already close to the horizon. In this endless desert, it is very shocking. Between the sky and the earth, people are so small. It reminds Lin Xuan of Wang Wei's "the desert is solitary, the long river sets the sun round" through the ages Popular quatrains.

Before it was completely dark, Lin Xuan followed Duan Yi to an inn to rest. This inn was extraordinary, with lights everywhere and colorful colors, like a tower-like inn with layers, which made Lin Xuan really wonder that there are so many buildings in this place.

Entering the hall, there was a lot of voices, and the heads hung in the air, like a medieval Roman church. There were tables in the middle full of people, and there were bustling sounds everywhere. Lin Xuan wondered if he could really fall asleep if he rested here?

There is a row of display cabinets on the left side of the entrance, and there is a person in the middle. Duan Yi stepped forward and said something, hesitated for a while, gave a silver ticket, took the sign, returned to Lin Xuan and took him to the upstairs room.

"Today is a special day. There are no rooms in the inn. There is only this one left, so I am wronging you to stay with me for one night." Duan Yi said as he walked.

Lin Xuan looked around and didn't care much: "What's the matter!" Then he turned his face and asked: "How much is the accommodation cost, it must not be cheap?"

"There is only one low-class room left, and the cost is not high, 100 taels." When he found the room he was staying in, Duan Yi opened the door and went in.

Lin Xuan paused: "100 taels! An inferior room? Is this room made of gold?"

Duan Yi smiled and shook his head: Come in quickly. "

Lin Xuan thought to himself that it was fortunate that he wasn't paying the money, otherwise the banknote given by Wu Shanqing would not be safe, and he sighed that it was too extravagant.

Lin Xuan entered the room and walked around. Although it was an inferior room, the room was really not bad. There was a red rosewood bed in the interior, and a moon door in the middle, which separated the bedroom from the front hall. Lin Xuan sat on the wooden chair, got a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"It's not bad. The price of that bed alone is more than this price. The owner of this inn is really generous."

After a while, the inn delivered food to the table, and Duan Yi ordered another pot of wine.Lin Xuan ate heartily, his stomach was really hungry after a bumpy day.Eating food and drinking wine, I feel very comfortable.

"Catch him, don't let him escape!" Suddenly a voice came.Then there were people screaming, rice dishes, tables and chairs falling.

"What noise?" Lin Xuan stopped, Duan Yi told Lin Xuan not to move, he opened the door to have a look, Lin Xuan couldn't hold back, and also stood up, only to see a mess of people in the hall on the first floor. Hold the knife and look around, as if looking for something.

It should be looking for someone, let's go in, the inn will take care of it after a while, the two of them were about to close the door, and suddenly a person broke in, Duan Yi was about to exert force, Lin Xuan shouted in surprise: "Zhao Huanran?"

Zhao Huanran covered Lin Xuan's mouth to keep quiet, but footsteps outside gradually approached, Zhao Huanran took his hand down and looked for a hiding place, when there was a knock on the door, Lin Xuan ignored him and stopped Zhao Huanran who was running around. Huanran pushes the bed to cover it, then thinks, no way, grabs Duan Yi again, and pushes it onto the bed.

"Don't talk nonsense, break the door in!" There was only a bang, and the door was kicked open. After several people walked into the room, they were all dumbfounded. They saw a half-dressed person in the semi-permeable white gauze on the bed. Press down on one person.

"Several, what's your business!" Lin Xuan slowly got up and pulled up the quilt to cover the people under him.

"You guys have to have a good reason for interrupting my master's interest! Why don't you blame me for being rude?" Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked sideways sharply.

Thinking that there are not many simple people who can live in this inn, he said truthfully, "We are arresting a villain, and I want to ask if Xiongtai has seen it?"

"I didn't see the thief, but I saw a few reckless people who interrupted my good business regardless of the consequences!" Lin Xuan got off the bed and walked to the table to sit down.

"You!" One of them couldn't hold back, and wanted to make trouble, but was stopped by the other.

"It's really our fault for disturbing Xiongtai, it's just that this matter is no small matter, I hope Xiongtai can do it conveniently, if something happens, don't blame us for not reminding us!"

"Oh, you're really stubborn, Yi'er, let them see you, so that someone won't suspect that you are a villain and hurt someone!"

At this time, a corner of the quilt was lifted, revealing a man's face, with evil smiles, several people's scalps were numb, and they looked like they were not the person they were looking for, and they cupped their hands at Lin Xuan, "Excuse me! Let's go!"

After leaving the room, a voice came from the corridor, "It turns out it's for Master Rabbit!"

When Lin Xuan heard it, he couldn't believe it and cursed, "You are the fucking son of a rabbit, a dog who looks down on people!"

Arranging his clothes angrily, Yi and Zhao Huanran got out of bed at this time, they were quite surprised by Lin Xuan's actions just now.

"What are you looking at? If I didn't save you, I would be called a rabbit master?" Lin Xuanqian was angry with Zhao Huanran.
