Master and Bandit Commander

22

After traveling day and night, they finally arrived in Liuzhou after ten days.

Compared with Ping'an County, which is peaceful and wealthy, Liuzhou's terrain is inferior first of all, because there are many mountains and difficult roads here, and it is a little far away from the capital, so the folk customs here are not so civilized, and the county town is naturally not so bustling.

But Chu Liuxiang's friend prefers to live in such a secluded place.

"My friend's name is Shen Rushan, and he has been friends with me for years. He has a slightly weird temper and doesn't like to be lively, so he bought a house in the suburbs of Liuzhou to live with his little daughter." Chu Liuxiang said to Ye Changsheng talked about his friend in detail, "He was considered a hero when he was young, but now that he is older, even though he lives in seclusion in this place, he is still somewhat famous in the world."

"His friends are many and well-connected, and many people will come to him to inquire about news."

Ye Changsheng sat in his arms, looking at the surrounding mountains or trees, Dabai carried the two of them on his back, but he was still able to walk briskly with ease.

"Does he really know where Pingzhou is?"

"Brother Chen is well-informed and has a lot of friends, so he should know about it?" Chu Liuxiang replied after pondering for a while, "It's just..." He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking.

"Just what?" Seeing that he stopped talking, Ye Changsheng continued to ask.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Brother Shen has a little bit of a temper... that's all, it will be clear when you see it."

Shen Rushan's house is located in the depths of a large peach blossom forest. Although it is early autumn and late summer, this peach blossom is still blooming abnormally, with luxuriant and colorful branches and leaves.

Ye Changsheng had never seen such a beautiful peach blossom even in the palace, and couldn't help but marvel several times.

"The peach blossoms here are carefully cultivated by Brother Shen himself and irrigated with special medicines, so they can bloom all year round." Chu Liuxiang said, "If Changsheng likes it, I can ask Brother Shen for some for you."

"No need, I don't know how to raise this, I will spoil such a beautiful flower." Ye Changsheng said with a smile.

Chu Liuxiang carried him off the horse, Dabai ran to a place not far away to have fun, and Ye Changsheng followed Chu Liuxiang to the gate.

The Shen family's gate is very large, but there is no stone statue of auspicious beasts in front of the gate, and there is no door knocker, and there is no decoration at all except for the word "Shen Fu" written on the plaque.

Chu Liuxiang walked over and directly opened the door and pulled him in. Even the doorman didn't see a single one.

In the yard, there are small bridges, flowing water, and emerald bamboos surrounded by hundreds of colorful flowers. There are singing birds and gurgling water everywhere, and even many flowers bloom out of season.

Ye Changsheng was a little envious of people who could live in such a place like Taoyuan.

"Unexpectedly, Xiangshuai also has" a day that came uninvited. "

When they just walked to the middle courtyard, a slightly vicissitudes of life sounded.Ye Changsheng raised his head curiously and looked around, but he didn't see anyone.

"That's right, Chu Liuxiang is a thief, and a thief will not always say hello when he comes to the door." Chu Liuxiang replied calmly, but patted Ye Changsheng who was a little nervous with both hands.

The man burst out laughing, Ye Changsheng didn't even see what was going on, suddenly there was another person in front of him.

The man with silver hair was wearing a green shirt and was holding a jade Xiao in his hand. He looked handsome and handsome like a fairy.

He turned around slowly, and Ye Changsheng secretly looked at him, looking at his snow-white beard, his heart was so itchy that he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Shen Rushan glanced at Ye Changsheng indifferently, "When did Xiangshuai have an extra servant?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly: "Since Brother Shen has already guessed it, why bother to tease me like this."

"Hmph." Shen Rushan flicked his sleeves, stepped on his feet lightly, and flew out, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chu Liuxiang hugged Ye Changsheng and followed him. He had been used to being hugged like this for more than a month, and Ye Changsheng put his arms around his neck consciously and obediently.

Shen Rushan stopped in a small pavilion with some tender bamboo forests, and Chu Liuxiang walked in with Ye Changsheng.

As if they knew in advance that someone was coming, the small stone table in the pavilion was already filled with fruits, snacks and wine.

"No matter what you want to ask me, I won't answer you today, unless Xiang Shuai can drink with me for a day." Shen Rushan sat at the table, poured himself a glass of wine and said.

"If you can really find out what I want to know, not to mention one day's wine, even ten days Chu will be willing to accompany you." Chu Liuxiang also sat down at the table.

Ye Changsheng stared at the snacks on the table and peeked all the time, they were all things he had never seen before, and the colors were beautiful and they looked delicious.

Naturally, his small actions could not be hidden from Chu Liuxiang. Chu Liuxiang took a piece of pancake from the plate on the table and stuffed it into his hand, tenderly

He said: "This is a peach cake, which is made by Brother Shen himself. It is different from the ones outside. Try it."

Ye Changsheng carefully held the peach blossom cake, and took a bite carefully, his mouth was full of sweet fragrance, it was indeed different from the one he ate outside.

Seeing him squinting his eyes and eating happily, Chu Liuxiang stuffed the rest of the plate into Ye Changsheng's arms, and said softly, "Changsheng, can you play by yourself for a while, brother Chu wants to talk to this friend."

Ye Changsheng thoughtfully nodded while holding the plate, and obediently ran out of the small pavilion with his favorite peach blossom cake.
