The Shengyuan Escort Agency is indeed one of the best in the Southwest. It has only been three days since they left Pingbo City, and they have already changed four carriages and three roads.Sitting in the car, Mu Zhenliu was dizzy, but he didn't dare to complain a word.

Because this time, he was not traveling far away, not rushing, but running for his life.

Ever since Mr. Yu had stolen "The Doctrine of the Mean" in his study and turned it into an account book, he had no choice but to run for his life.

Although the deadly person has not come yet, he knows that he will come eventually.

Maybe it was Tang Chizhou, maybe it was Jing Chi, maybe it was Fang Hengxie, or maybe it was...

The former Dai Baobao and Susha were good, but the future Xie Fei is.

The carriage shook suddenly.

"The wheel fell into the pit!" Zhang Yupo yelled outside.

Hu Qiushui jumped off the carriage neatly, and directed Zhang Yupo and others to push the cart with a smile.Mu Zhenliu wanted to get out of the car, but was held down by her: "Master Mu, just sit down, if these gentlemen can't even push a scholar like Mr. Mu, go back to weaving and embroidery. You don't need to come out to mess around."

Zhang Yupo said: "Gourd Lady is right. Don't say that Mr. Mu, you are sitting here, even if you are jumping up and down, I can push you out!" He said, With a sound of "ha", with a push on his feet, the car was kicked out.

but……

The wheels stayed.

If it wasn't for Ding's voice to be silent but quick to drag the carriage, Mu Zhenliu might have a big somersault.

Seeing this, Sang Nanxi and Hu Qiushui beat Zhang Yupo without saying a word.Zhang Yupo dodged left and right, begging for mercy: "Heaven and earth conscience, this really has nothing to do with me! How do I know this wheel is so careless?"

"Stop making trouble." Zhu Wanzhi sat on the horse and frowned, "Fengliang Town is at the foot of the mountain, which can be regarded as an eclectic village. Take it easy." Seeing Mu Zhenliu coming out of the carriage, he hurriedly said with a smile : "Master Mu, don't worry, we will be able to repair this wheel soon, and we will never delay our overnight stay."

Mu Zhenliu asked, "Is one horse enough for one person?"

Zhu Wanzhi's eyes lit up: "Master Mu can ride a horse?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "I know some."

Zhu Wanzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's kind." He asked Zhang Yupo and Ding Yousheng to take the harness off the horse, and gave his own horse to Mu Zhenliu, "I grew up with this horse. , love is as deep as the sea..."

Sang Nanxi said leisurely behind him on the left: "It's only 12 years old this year, and your old man already has that number." He made a comparison of three, and then another three.

Zhu Wanzhi corrected his words: "I pulled it up by the shit and the piss..."

Zhang Yupo said from behind him on the right: "I've always been doing that job."

Zhu Wanzhi couldn't hold back his face, and angrily said: "There are no rules, you all shut up when the head of the security guard speaks in the future!" He continued to look helplessly at Mu Zhenliu's commentary, "Master Mu, my horse is extremely docile and well-behaved..."

"Thank you." Mu Zhenliu got on his horse and smiled slightly at the dumb Zhu Wanzhi.

Zhu Wanzhi's heart trembled when he laughed, and thought to himself: With such a character, no wonder Susha treats him like a taboo.

Thinking of this, he was a little worried again: "Young Master Susha stays in Pingbo City alone, nothing will happen, right?"

Mu Zhenliu, who was watching the fighting among the members of the Shengyuan Escort Bureau, had a dark face when he heard the words: "Since we have different paths, we will part ways sooner or later."

When he said that, Zhu Wanzhi couldn't ask any more questions, and called everyone to get on their horses and continue to move forward along the mountain road.

The horse team came to a dilapidated mountain temple in the afterglow of the setting sun.The Buddha statue was covered with dust, Ding Yousheng took a cloth from the corner and wiped the Buddha statue silently.

Hu Qiushui explained to Mu Zhenliu: "Don't look at Lao Ding's long hair, he has a monk in his heart."

Mu Zhenliu said: "If you have a Buddha in your heart, you are a monk. The length of your hair doesn't really matter."

Ding Yousheng's eyes lit up, and he gave him a meaningful look, and there was a sense of sympathy in that look.

Both Zhang Yupo and Sang Nanxi were familiar with it, and they quickly cleaned the place and started a fire to boil water.When Hu Qiushui said he was going out to pick up wild fruits, Mu Zhenliu wanted to follow him. Seeing them winking at each other, he knew that picking up wild fruits was just a name, and he must have gone to investigate the surrounding environment.He didn't know martial arts, so he stayed where he was and didn't cause trouble.

The water was boiled quickly, and Mu Zhenliu followed Zhu Wanzhi and others to drink a cup to warm up.

Zhu Wanzhi said, "It's getting colder and colder."

Sang Nanxi said: "Yes, Chinese New Year is almost here."

The branches were sizzling with fire.

Zhu Wanzhi laughed suddenly: "Except for Lao Zhang, we don't have a family here, and it's the same wherever we celebrate the New Year."

Zhang Yupo said: "If I don't go back, the mother-in-law will just be happy and not have to wait on others!"

Zhu Wanzhi laughed loudly: "Who makes you snore like thunder when you sleep, none of us can bear it, let alone such a delicate young lady like my sister-in-law."

Zhang Yupo muttered resentfully: "Marrying into the Zhang family is the Zhang family, and I still miss those embroidered pillows in the past."

Sang Nanxi said: "The words you use are really like Cao Zhi reading Li Bai's poems, neither fish nor fowl."

Mu Zhenliu smiled and said, "Maybe Cao Zhi met Li Bai because of sympathy."

Sang Nanxi dissatisfied: "Guan Gong met Qin Qiong with sympathy, and Cao Zhi met Li Bai with sympathy. Can these generals and scholars be a little more reserved and arrogant!"

Zhu Wanzhi and the others laughed.

Mu Zhenliu couldn't help but also laughed.

The laughter of Zhu Wanzhi and Sang Nanxi stopped abruptly, followed by Zhang Yupo and Ding Yousheng who just twitched their lips from beginning to end. They all looked in the direction of the door with strange expressions on their faces.

Mu Zhenliu restrained his smile, and slowly nodded.

Hu Qiushui came in empty-handed.

Behind her, followed a door god-like figure, tall and dark-faced.

"Master Susha?" Zhu Wanzhi and the others stood up.

Mu Zhenliu was the last one to stand up slowly, smiled at the visitor and said, "Thank you, Island Master."

Xie Fei stepped over the threshold and walked in step by step.

They are obviously still the same two people, but they are no longer Susha Haohao and Mu Zhenliu, but the senior brother of Fang Hengxie, the master of Tianji Pavilion, and the disciple of Shen Zhenghe, the master of Lingxiao Pavilion.

Zhang Yupo couldn't help breaking the silence that the two of them unintentionally created: "Thank you island master? Which thank you island master?"

Sang Nanxi kicked him.

Seeing that Zhang Yupo was still talking, Zhu Wanzhi glared at him again.

Ding Yousheng said softly: "There are not many people sitting on an island in the world, and there are even fewer people with the surname Xie. I only know one."

Sang Nanxi said: "I only know one."

"Me too..." Zhang Yupo paused, and called out in a strange tone, "Xiaoyao Island in the East China Sea, Xie Fei?!"

Xie Fei sat down by the wall opposite Mu Zhenliu, took a wine bag from his waist, raised his head and drank a couple of sips, then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, as if he fell asleep.

Hu Qiushui walked up to Zhu Wanzhi, and said pitifully, "I don't know when he followed."

Zhu Wanzhi sighed: "If Xie Feishi wants to follow someone, that person has no choice but to be followed by him."

Hu Qiushui stared at Mu Zhenliu and said, "Is he really Xie Fei?"

Mu Zhenliu raised the corner of his mouth, his smile was too faint to be seen, and said: "He didn't deny it."

The broken temple leaks wind, and at night, the mountain wind is biting.Even though Zhu Wanzhi gave Mu Zhenliu a woolen blanket, he was still shivering from the cold.

Xie Fei opened his eyes and looked at him for a while, then took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, and hit the unconscious points of several people lying on the ground.Hu Qiushui, Zhang Yupo, and Ding Yousheng were recruited successively.Sang Nanxi instinctively avoided it, but he didn't completely avoid it, but he gave Xie Fei a look before he passed out.The only one who avoided was Zhu Wanzhi, who rolled on the ground and drew out his knife vigilantly.

Xie Fei didn't pursue even if he missed a hit, he went to Mu Zhenliu's side, and hugged him with a blanket.

Mu Zhenliu opened his eyes and looked at him, sober as if he hadn't slept.

Xie Fei kissed him on the eyes: "I have to hurry tomorrow, go to sleep."

Mu Zhenliu said, "Why?"

"what why?"

"Why are you still here?"

"Why don't you come?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Tang Chizhou wants to kill me, he is Fang Hengxie."

Xie Fei smiled and patted his head: "What are you afraid of? You belong to Xie Fei."

Mu Zhenliu said, "Why did you come to Pingbo City?"

Xie Fei said, "For you."

Mu Zhenliu closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk to him.

Xie Fei bit his face bitterly, forcing Mu Zhenliu to open his eyes.Xie Fei looked at the tooth marks on his face with satisfaction, and said, "The first time I saw you was on Baihu Street in the capital. At that time, you and Gao Miao came out of an antique shop together."

Mu Zhenliu turned his head and thought for a while, "He went to Beijing for the exam, but his teacher didn't agree, so he sneaked out. Later, his teacher was furious, and Brother Guangfu wanted to buy a gift in the capital to make him happy."

Xie Fei bit his earlobe angrily and said, "You are not allowed to shout so intimately!"

Mu Zhenliu didn't make a sound.

Xie Feishi said again: "That day, my junior brother and I were in the restaurant opposite. The junior brother said, you have feelings for Gao Miao."

Mu Zhenliu was stunned.He really didn't expect that his feelings for Gao Miao were discovered, but because Fang Heng took a sideways glance!

Xie Fei said: "Junior brother is always very accurate in judging people, he said that you have... hmph, then really hum!" He bit Mu Zhenliu's earlobe and did not let go.

Mu Zhenliu said: "At that time you hated me?"

Xie Fei said: "I really hate what you do? If I hate you, I hate your ungrateful brother Guangfu who says one thing and does another!"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Then why did you find me?"

Xie Fei said: "Junior brother asked me to stay in the southwest area to find out the news, and help... the local people, I heard that you are coming, so I came here to see if there is any news that I can find out."

Mu Zhenliu thought, by the way, the people behind the help must not be the local people, but most likely Tang Chizhou.

Xie Fei said: "Later Tang Chizhou said that Yu Donghai was moving, and asked me to go to Pingbo City to suppress Mrs. Yu. It just so happens that you are going to Pingbo City, so I will follow you."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Follow all the way back to the Weapons Bureau?"

Xie Fei smiled softly: "It was love at first sight."

Mu Zhenliu lowered his eyes, not believing it.

Whether you like a person or not, the mouth can lie, the body can deceive, but the eyes can't.Xie Feishi, who had just entered Pingbo City, had no affection in his eyes.Those, came later.This is also one of the reasons why he is willing to believe that Xie Fei likes him, because in retrospect, he has to admit that most of the time Xie Fei looks at him, not contempt and alienation, but bewildered and irritable. repressed.It's like a boy who has just entered the love scene and doesn't know how to approach the person he likes and express his surging and awkward mood.

Seeing this, Xie Fei couldn't help feeling annoyed and depressed.Love at first sight is indeed an exaggeration.In fact, it is rare to meet a person like Fang Hengxie, who will not panic or make a fuss about his temper, and it is inevitable that he will have some nostalgia, so he can't help staying.But then I really liked it, I liked it very much, I couldn't like it any more, so that I couldn't leave it anymore if I kept it.But Mu Zhenliu's expression seemed to dislike... even his likes.

Mu Zhenliu whispered: "Isn't it to protect the intricate inside story of the Military Weapons Bureau?"

Xie Fei retracted his arms in retaliation, and bit his cheek again: "I'm not Tang Chizhou's subordinate! Even if the younger brother asks me to do something, I have to do it according to my pleasure!"

Mu Zhenliu raised his eyes slightly.

"You still don't believe me?" Xie Fei pursed his lips, then suddenly softened, and said pitifully, "For you, I turned against Tang Chizhou and turned against Jing Chi. I'm afraid my junior will not want to see me anymore. That's it, you Are you going to leave me?"

At this time, it looks a bit like wearing a baby.

Mu Zhenliu couldn't help but stop talking.

Xie Fei was silent for a while and said: "My junior brother and I grew up together, and his master is my father. But when he was young, he was more like my father's son, and I was like a little bastard picked up by the roadside. At first, I hated him very much. I hated him for stealing my father’s care, so I practiced martial arts desperately to surpass him! Because I found that only when my martial arts practiced better than him, my father would give me a look .”

"For a long time, my martial arts progressed better than his. My father was very gentle to me at first, but later, he returned to his original indifference, and my junior brother gradually got hurt. One day, I couldn't hold back. Stop, secretly went to watch my junior practice martial arts, but saw my father beating him with a cane."

"I didn't know until then that the reason why my father accepted him was because he liked his extraordinary talent, and hoped that he would overwhelm me in everything and push me to work hard. If I lose to him, at most I will suffer from my father's eyes. If he loses to me, he will be severely beaten."

"But he is very kind. He told me that the beating is a pain of flesh and blood, and it is over after bearing with it. Being treated indifferently by my father is the pain of a lifetime. After listening to what he said, I sat on the rock alone I went up, thinking about the waves all night. Tell him the next day, let him just win me, because it won’t be a lifetime of pain.”

"Since then, I have regarded my father as the master who taught me martial arts. I no longer have any expectations, and naturally I will not lose. Anyway, without my father, I still have a junior brother. Thinking about it later, the two little radish heads supported each other , is also quite touching. Over time, I found that being blinded and coldly treated is nothing more than that. At least I have enough food, warm clothes, and nothing to worry about. Compared with those whose families are broken and hungry and cold, a little family affection The setback is really nothing."

"My father probably noticed the change in me. When I was 14 years old, he threw me to Evil Island near Xiaoyao Island. It is the base camp of pirates, wanted criminals, and villains who have offended the Central Plains martial arts and have nowhere to escape. When I went there, I was like a little white rabbit in a wolf's lair. In order to survive, I had to resist and fight desperately. Well, in the end, I survived and lived alone on that isolated island for a year. I found it really boring, so I built a boat, went back to Xiaoyao Island, drove my father away, and became the owner of the island myself."

These words calmly said, but it was the thrilling experience of half his life, which made Mu Zhenliu a little moved, but more distressed.At that time, I heard him say, "I don't have thousands of books in my chest, but I have killed thousands of lives, and I have experienced people." I thought it was bragging, but I didn't want such a heavy story behind it.He wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort the man who was hugging him, but he quickly thought of each other's positions, and abruptly broke the idea.

"Fang Hengxie is my only family member in this world, and also the former me. Apart from martial arts, my only concern in this world."

Mu Zhenliu suddenly didn't want to listen.

But he can't help it.

Xie Fei clung to his ear, and said slowly, word by word: "Before, I was his sword, and wherever his long arms pointed, I didn't ask right or wrong. Now, I am willing to do it for you." shield, guard your habitat, I don't care about life or death."
