In a small town less than a hundred miles away from Weicheng, in the only restaurant in the town, it was time for lunch, and the restaurant was full of [-]% to [-]% of the guests. The waiter carried the steaming dish "Dong Dong" up to the second floor, and came to a table with three people.

"Guest officer, please take your time!" Putting the dishes on the table, the waiter turned around and trotted downstairs again.

"The place is small, but the food is pretty good." Cheng Yu held his chopsticks and looked down at the dishes on the table.

Xing Liangtian and Zhan Feng on both sides didn't make a sound, Zhan Feng was always a seldom talker, Xing Haotian seldom talked when eating, and Cheng Yu was someone who would never quiet down for no reason.So there are three people at a table, and the atmosphere is lively even if he speaks.

"What are your plans for the future? I heard that there is a mountain within half a day's journey from here. The scenery on the mountain is very worth seeing."

Zhan Feng thought for a while, and said to Xing Haotian, "Master, we have been out for almost a month."

Xing Haotian didn't say anything, just nodded and filled the wine glass in front of him.It's not a good wine, it has a spicy taste in the throat, but it's enjoyable.It's just that Xiao Er reminded me not to drink too much, for fear of getting caught.

"You want to go back so early?" Cheng Yu asked.

Zhan Feng asked, "One month is too early?"

"It's never too early to travel around the mountains and play in the water with nothing to do." Cheng Yu gestured with his chopsticks, then turned his head to look at Xing Haotian.

Without speaking, Xing Haotian picked up the wine glass and closed his eyes to drink it down. After a while, he said, "I have my own measure."

Zhan Feng and Cheng Yu looked at each other and stopped talking about it.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from downstairs: "Shopkeeper! Find me a table!"

Xing Haotian frowned, felt that the voice was very familiar, subconsciously looked downstairs, and sure enough... the waiter was leading a man to an empty table, who was it not Yuhan Palace?

Compared with the handsome young man in the last two meetings, today's Yuhan Palace is dressed in plain clothes, his hair is simply tied behind his head, and he carries a small burden on his shoulders, looking dusty.

After Yu Hangong put down his burden and sat down, the waiter poured tea and asked, "What would you like, sir?"

"You can figure it out. Serve any delicious signature dishes. But it's almost enough. It's a waste if I can't eat it alone."

"Hey! What kind of wine are you drinking?"

"No need." Yu Hangong waved his hand, "I still need someone to help me feed the horses outside."

"Alright! Just a moment!"

After the waiter left, Yuhan Palace sat drinking tea, occasionally looking around, but didn't notice Xing Haotian upstairs.

After staring at Yuhan Palace for a while, Xing Haotian slowly looked away, playing with the wine glass in his hand.

Zhan Feng on the side also took a look at Yuhan Palace, but he was not interested in the latter, so he turned around and continued eating.

Only Cheng Yu still looked at the people downstairs with a smile on his face, "I never thought I would meet him here!" He looked back at Xing Haotian, "What do you think he is doing here? Could it be possible? Are you here to chase us?"

"So what?" Xing Haotian asked back.

"You shouldn't ask me that, right?" Cheng Yu picked up the jug and filled it up for himself, "Aren't you afraid that those two people will reveal your identity?"

One of the "those two people" refers to Song Tingyi, who is not from the Jianghu but was the first to discover their identities, but Xing Haotian didn't care, and just said with confidence: "That man, he won't tell."

"why?"

"Because he also knows who he is."

This answer made Cheng Yu more and more at a loss, and Zhan Feng was also a little puzzled.But Xing Haotian didn't intend to continue, and Cheng Yu didn't ask any more questions, and pointed to the downstairs with his chin.

"What about him?"

Xing Haotian followed his gaze, but just smiled without saying a word, lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

Downstairs, the shop waiter came back not long after leaving, but brought something wrapped in red cloth and put it on the Yuhan Palace table.

Yu Hangong glanced at the thing, looked up at Xiao Er and asked with his eyes.

"It was sent by a gentleman surnamed Song, who said he asked you to pass it on to a friend." The waiter said politely.

As soon as he said this, Yuhan Palace knew that the person must be Song Tingyi.So, his leaving home has been discovered?But he could count on him to settle down here, he had to admire it.Looking at the things on the table, he didn't need to open it to know that there should be a jar of wine inside.

It is no secret that Song Tingyi knows how to make wine in Weicheng, but he seldom does it. Occasionally, he brews a little and sells it at a high price in the "Qingfeng Pavilion". The material is very particular.Although Song Tingyi loves money, he doesn't want to do this strenuous work often.So even Yuhan Palace has not tasted the best wine that Song Tingyi personally admitted.

Could it be this altar?

Although curious, Yuhan Palace is not in the mood to drink now.And even if you are thinking about it, this is for that person, and he will never touch it until it is delivered to that person.

"Thank you." Putting the wine jar aside, Yuhan Gong took out a small piece of broken silver and threw it to the waiter.The latter thanked him quickly when he got the silver, and served him more attentively after that.

After the first dish of Yuhan Palace was served, he just picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat, when a sound of sanxian came in from the door, and after a while, an old man and a young man walked in from the outside, the old man with white hair The old man was thin and faltering.The least one is a young girl in her twenties. Although she is not the most beautiful, she is also delicate and pleasant.

The two were dressed in shabby clothes, and they looked like poor people.The old man was holding an old sanxian, and the girl snuggled up beside him, looking like she was here to sing.

At this time, there were quite a few people eating in the restaurant, and the girl helped the old man walk a few steps inside.Among the guests who were eating, those who were in a hurry to get on the road didn't pay much attention, while those who were not in a hurry simply put down their chopsticks to take a closer look.

"Guys, I hope you will join us, thank you very much." After the old man finished speaking, the girl next to him bowed her head and made a blessing. Although she came out to sing, she still had a shyness of her daughter's family.

Yu Hangong also looked at the old and the young, but the chopsticks didn't stop, eating the pork knuckle noodle recommended by the waiter in the shop.

The old man tried the strings and began to play. It was just a simple tune, which was quite pleasing to the ear.Soon the girl began to sing, the song was by Qi Qi Ai Ai, but the girl's singing voice was melodious and melodious, it was really good that such a simple accompaniment could be sung like this.

At the end of the song, there was applause.The girl slightly raised the corners of her mouth and bowed to everyone, then took a small worn-out bowl to ask for rewards from the guests, throwing down three or five coins if she was willing to give, the girl said thank you softly.Don't force what you don't want to give, and go to the next table.

It was not bad to pass a few tables, but not long after, the girl suddenly screamed, the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered, and the copper plate rolled all over the floor.

It turned out that when a customer gave money, he suddenly grabbed her hand.The man was 27 or [-] years old, and he didn't look upright, so I didn't say much. He looked puffy from eating, but he was dressed decently. There were three people who looked like bodyguards sitting next to him, who must be from the town. A wealthy family, a vicious young man who has always bullied and domineering.

The girl desperately pulled her hand back, but a weak woman is no match for a man.

"Hey! Little lady, don't leave! Didn't you want money?" The evil young man smiled wretchedly, holding him with one hand to prevent him from leaving, and the other hand began to be dishonest.

"Girl!" The girl's father, an old man not far away, rushed over tremblingly, but was stopped by three servants.

"Master! Master, please spare my little girl!"

Evil Young Master glared at him, and said impatiently: "What are you shouting about! Don't you ask for money for singing? Young master, I love to listen to these sanxians. You can sing me a few today. If you sing well, I will reward you a lot." Said After finishing, he put his arms around the girl's waist and wanted to put it in his arms.

Some guests beside them muttered softly. Although they felt sorry for the father and daughter, none of them stood up.Seeing injustice is not something that everyone can do. Some people know that they can't afford to offend them.

The old man even trembled with his fingers, "If you want to listen to the song, we can sing it, please let go of the little girl first!"

"Grandpa, I want her to sit on my lap and sing!"

The girl's eyes were already red, and she was struggling in the evil young man's arms with sobs.

Seeing that the scene of "robbing women from the common people" was about to take place, Yuhan Gong Zhongyu put down his chopsticks and burped contentedly, then wiped his mouth and stood up.

"Little lady, don't be afraid, brother, I'm the most sympathetic, just try once to protect you... ah~~~!" Seeing that the wicked young man was about to touch the girl's face, he suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed the " "Pig's trotter" was folded back, and the pain caused him to scream like a pig.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Yuhan Gong let go of his hand, nodded and bowed apologetically, "I want to say hello to you, young master, but I didn't expect the attack to be serious. Are you not hurt?"

Young Master Evil let go of the girl's grip on his wrist. Although it hurt so much that tears were about to flow, he was too embarrassed to shout out in front of so many people, so he could only stare at Yuhan Palace fiercely and shout, "What are you doing? ? Courting death?」

The three servants also rushed up to protect the evil young man, as if preparing to fight.

Yu Hangong pushed the girl behind without any trace, and said with a smile to Young Master Chong E, "I heard you said that you like to listen to the sanxian, so tell me earlier! If you like to listen to the sanxian, I'll play it for you."

Not only Evil Younger, but the people around were a little stunned, not understanding which god was suddenly killed halfway.

"The young master has no time to talk to you, go away!"

Yu Hangong didn't care whether he answered or not, turned around and reached out to take the three strings from the old man's arms, then set up a posture and flicked it twice randomly.

At this time, Xing Haotian and the others upstairs saw the present, although their faces had different levels of interest, they were all quite curious about how the Yuhan Palace would end next, so like everyone else in the store, they all held a kind of The mentality of watching a play.

I saw Yu Hangong clearing his throat pretentiously, and when everything was ready, he let go of his throat and roared.

"Brother, I love that little sister~ Touch my little hand~ Kiss that little mouth..."

"Pfft~~" Cheng Yu just drank the tea in his mouth and sprayed it all away.Fortunately, he turned his head in time, otherwise he would not be able to order a table of dishes.

With insufficiency of pentatonic notes, barren accent, almost none of the notes were in tune, and the sound of the piano like a puppy scratching the door, Yuhan Palace sang less than five lines, and everyone present was frightened.Even Zhanfeng, who has always been calm, couldn't help laughing.

Xing Haotian was taken aback at first, but he quickly put down his wine glass and looked at the man downstairs who was singing and dancing with interest.

"Sister, don't let me touch~ Brother, I'm thick-skinned!" Yuhan Gong was singing vigorously, so let's sing if you can, and he even came to "scratch your head and pose" on purpose, and kept "winking" at the wicked young man , the latter would be disgusted by him.

At this time, all the people present could not help laughing except for the evil young man, and even the girl hid behind the old man and burst into laughter.

Everyone laughed at Yuhan Palace for a reason, and that evil young man obviously became the laughing stock of everyone, so he finally couldn't help shouting: "Stop!"

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the restaurant was instantly quiet.

"Stinky boy, are you fucking disgusting on purpose, aren't you?" Young Master Evil almost twisted his face in anger.

Yu Hangong looked at him motionless, the playful expression on his face had disappeared completely, which made people feel a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Yu Hangong grinned, ran up to Evil Young Master a few steps, raised his hand and slapped the latter on the face!

The "snap" was crisp and loud, and it hurts just listening to it.

"Ouch~~!" The evil young man was so pumped that his eyes stared like stars, and he turned around more than two times, and when he stopped, his mouth was already full of blood.

"Master! Are you okay, Master!"

"What a fart! Hurry up and get rid of him!" The evil young man yelled at the servant while covering his face, and for a moment he couldn't even smooth his tongue.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the shopkeeper and the waiter of the restaurant both came to persuade them, but they were pushed away by the servants. Several people rushed towards Yuhan Palace with their fists and sleeves rolled up.

Yu Hangong stood there with a sneer in his heart, picked up the Sanxian as a weapon, and beat the three of them up and down and wailed.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Young Master Evil was afraid that he would run away under the watchful eyes of the public and would not be able to show his face, so he gritted his teeth and stared at Yuhan Palace, pointing at him and shouting: "You, who are you? How dare you meddle in my business! Don't ask me, Young Master Zhu is here... ouch~~!" Before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the forehead by the three-stringed string thrown over.

"I don't care if you are Master Zhu or 'Master Pig', and you don't care who I am. I just want you to remember..."

"You..." Evil young man clutched his head and struggled to remember, but when he raised his head, his eyes suddenly went dark, he only felt the heat in his nose, and the next moment he realized that his face was bleeding from being stepped on!

Yu Hangong raised his right foot and stepped on the evil young man's face, looked down at him and smiled, "If you bully the male and female master again, I will chop up your 'pig trotter' stew and let you drink it yourself."

Although his tone was calm but menacing, Evil Young Master hurriedly nodded and begged for mercy.In the end, Young Master Evil was held up by servants with blood on his face, and several people limped out of the restaurant, compared to the previous posture, now they are only in a state of embarrassment.

Yu Hangong turned around and walked towards the old man and the girl.

The old man was in a daze, but when he saw him coming, he hurriedly pulled the girl to thank him, "Thank you benefactor..."

"No need. I just think his face is unappetizing and I can't eat." Yu Hangong waved his hand, and without looking at the girl, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the old man, who was immediately flattered .

"This, how does this make..."

"Take it, it's to pay for your Sanxian." Yu Hangong waved his hand and smiled, then turned back to his own table without further words, took the wine wrapped in red cloth on the table and his own baggage, and left After paying enough money for the meal, he walked to the door.

But seeing that one foot was about to step out of the threshold, Yuhan Palace suddenly turned around and raised his head, his eyes met Xing Haotian on the second floor.

Xing Haotian raised his eyebrows slightly, and before he could think about it, he saw Yuhan Gong raised his hand and gave him a thumbs down motion.Then he walked away under the attention of everyone, even the background was provocative.

"Haha! Hahaha..." The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth have been raised ever since he spouted the tea. Seeing Yuhan Palace make such a fuss before leaving, he couldn't stop laughing on the table immediately.After finally restraining himself a little, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "This show is really delicious! One episode is more exciting than the other, I'm hungry from laughing! Haha!"

Zhanfeng covered his mouth with his fist and coughed twice, then smiled.It's really funny from the beginning to the end. As for which is funnier, it's really hard to decide.

Xing Haotian didn't speak, he was still thinking about the action and expression of Yuhan Palace just now, what was his intention?However, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.If the play Yu Hangong sang just now had just made him watch lively, then the provocative action at the end was much more interesting than the play.

"I just didn't expect him to find us." Zhan Feng said suddenly.

Indeed, no one noticed when Yuhan Palace discovered them.

"In this way, this guy is much more interesting than the average dude." Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows.

Xing Haotian squinted at the place downstairs where Yuhan Palace had sat, and did not agree or deny this sentence.

It's common in books about heroes saving the beauty, but it's definitely not that frequent in reality.In today's situation, if no one went to rescue the father and daughter, Cheng Yu and Zhan Feng would go too.Cheng Yu really liked the limelight of the hero saving the beauty, while Zhan Feng couldn't let people spoil Xing Haotian's dining atmosphere.

In the end, it was Yuhan Palace who stood up first, which was indeed beyond Xing Haotian's expectation.The way the man played the piano and sang was really interesting.

Xing Haotian raised the corner of his mouth, picked up the wine glass and drank it down.When he put down the wine glass, he slowly rubbed the rim with his fingertips, and the image of Yuhan Palace when he left appeared in front of his eyes. Just the look in his eyes was far from the lewd and wimpy look he remembered.

Which one is the real face of that person, he doesn't think it's important, to put it bluntly, it's just that he doesn't know him, but when does Xing Haotian want to know someone?

However, the opponent's provocation is another matter.

After briefly recalling the few meetings with Yuhan Palace, Xing Haotian suddenly had a different idea in his heart, maybe it was interesting that he had never tried before, but it was more of a pastime when he was bored.

Putting the wine glass back on the table, he whispered to Zhan Feng, "Follow him."

Zhanfeng didn't ask any more questions, got up and went downstairs.

What Xing Haotian sent people to follow Yuhan Palace, Cheng Yu and Zhan Feng could guess nine out of ten, but even if they couldn't guess at all, they wouldn't ask too much.

Cheng Yu watched Zhan Feng quickly leave the gate of the restaurant, and it would not take much effort to chase someone with the latter's light work.Turning his gaze back to Xing Haotian, he shook his head with a smile and said something. "Master, you really are a temperamental person."

Of course, this is not a compliment.

Xing Haotian chuckled lightly, feeling a little sneering, but it was sincere.

Besides, Yuhan Palace, in fact, he regretted it as soon as he stepped out of the restaurant, and he provoked that demon Xing Haotian again after being cheap for a while.

But it's strange to say, in fact, he didn't notice Xing Haotian and the others in the restaurant at first, until when he was about to leave, he felt someone behind him looking at him.The sight was too sharp and strange, he subconsciously turned around, looked up, and it turned out to be Xing Haotian!

It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe them as Yuanjialuzhai. In a moment of surprise and impulsiveness, he subconsciously made a mocking and provocative gesture.He hadn't learned the lesson of throwing a boot at a critical moment last time, and he made the same mistake again.

He has already fully experienced Xing Haotian's vindictive character. He originally sneaked out this time and was careful all the way. It was the biggest accident to meet Xing Haotian here.

But no matter what the devil thinks or wants to do, he has no time to waste here.

After putting Song Tingyi's wine into the bag, Yuhan Gong jumped on the horse, tightened the reins and galloped away.In his haste, he didn't pay attention to Zhan Feng who was catching up behind him.

And Zhan Feng came back after less than half a day. Xing Haotian and Cheng Yu sat across the table in the guest room of the restaurant. Most of the game of chess was played on the table. The black and white chess pieces were evenly matched. It didn't take long to send it up.

"Master."

Xing Haotian didn't speak, but motioned him to come and sit down.

"He went to the east." After Zhan Feng sat down, he omitted the process of tracking, and said succinctly.

"East?" Cheng Yu played with the fan in his hand, thought for a while and asked, "Situ Villa?"

Zhan Feng nodded, "That direction, that should be where he is most likely to go."

Situ Mountain Villa is not far from here. The mountain villa covers a vast area. After several expansions in the past few years, it can almost be said to be "dominating one side". Basically, if you go east, except for those who go the wrong way, the rest will go to Situ Mountain Villa. .

"Hmm... Could it be that he is from Situ Mountain Villa?" Cheng Yu asked aloud, but he felt a little excited.He looked at Xing Haotian with a smile, his expression seemed to say: This is really interesting.

Xing Haotian did not expect that Yuhan Palace would be related to Situ Mountain Villa. Although it is not yet possible to draw a conclusion, even if it is, it is nothing special to him.

In the whole arena, Tian Xing Sect has never been afraid of any school or school. Although Xing Haotian is a bit arrogant, he is not arrogant. The two cannot be compared.

Zhan Feng asked: "Can you ask your subordinates to continue the investigation?"

"Why don't you let me go directly to Situ Villa to find out?" Cheng Yu also asked, it was not difficult for him to sneak into Situ Villa.

They were so enthusiastic, Xing Haotian glanced at the two of them each, with a smile on his face, and asked, "Do you both think I'm interested in him?"

"It's hard to say whether you're interested or not." Cheng Yu looked down at the chess game, holding the white pieces to study where the pieces were placed, "But even if you are interested, no one will ever know what you really think in your heart."

Zhanfeng glanced at Cheng Yu from the corner of his eye, and there was a clear warning in his eyes.

Cheng Yu didn't know if he saw it, but he didn't respond, and calmly dropped his hand.

Xing Haotian looked down at the place where he just swung.The chess game is always changing, and sometimes just one move can turn the situation around.Although there is no bloody martial arts contest, the scheming in the process is not inferior in the slightest.

Picking up Heizi with two fingers and dropping it without hesitation, he said: "What you said is too troublesome. I don't like to make simple things troublesome. I have never had any conflicts with Tianxingjiao and Situ Mountain Villa, and there is no conflict this time." necessary."

"Then you plan to..." Cheng Yu and Zhan Feng didn't quite understand his thoughts.

Xing Haotian got up, put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and chuckled a few times, "Since you want to play, then play it thoroughly."

Cheng Yu and Zhan Feng looked at each other.They have been with Xing Haotian for a long time, and they can be regarded as very few people who know Xing Haotian better, but what he did this time is really confusing.

But if Xing Haotian is interested in Yuhan Palace, they don't believe it, at most they are interested, but this is considered rare.

Cheng Yu had a lot of experience in guessing Xing Haotian's thoughts, he squeezed his chin and looked at him for a while, then asked: "Master, don't you want to "turn the prodigal son back"?" "

Xing Haotian didn't answer his words, turned around and walked out, leaving only one sentence before stepping out the door. "Cheng Yu, solve this game of chess before dawn tomorrow, otherwise you will stay here forever."

"Huh?" Cheng Yu called out, and when he wanted to say something again, Xing Haotian had already disappeared.Looking down again, the densely packed pieces on the chessboard instantly gave people a headache.

Xing Haotian has always kept his word, even if this "lifetime" is mostly a joke at this time, but if he is serious, it is possible in three to five years.

Cheng Yu had a headache all the time, let alone solving the chess game.Not to mention three or five years, he doesn't want to stay for three or five days.

"Come and help! Quick!" He waved to Zhanfeng.When it comes to playing chess, Zhan Feng's chess skills are no worse than him.

However, Zhan Feng shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile in his eyes: "The leader asked you to explain it by name, and I will disobey you if I help you." After speaking, he sat down beside him, poured tea and drank it himself, as if it had nothing to do with him, angry Cheng Yu scolded him for being inhuman.
