The man laughed loudly and said, "That's right, it was me, Zhao, who they wanted to arrest, and you were arrested by the wrong person!"

He strode into the room and faced Shen Yufeng.

Shen Yufeng asked, "Then why are you here?"

Since this person is the one that Zizai City really wants to arrest, then he should stay far away, why come back here?

Zhao Linhuai said: "See if you are worthy of my rescue. If you are a good person, I will save you."

Shen Yufeng paused, and then asked, "What if I don't do what you want?"

Zhao Linhuai took it for granted: "Then I will kill you, so as not to ruin my reputation."

Shen Yufeng was startled, this person seemed to be unpredictable, but his casual and unruly temperament was beyond his surprise.Knowing that Zhao Linhuai's words of murder were just to test him, the resentment in his heart has disappeared, so he also smiled and said: "Then you are here to save me now?"

Zhao Linhuai said: "Yes."

Shen Yufeng asked, "Why did they arrest you?"

Zhao Linhuai said: "Well, I had some suspicions with Shi Guanghe, the city lord of Zizai City, and I was arrested, haha, but this is not a big problem, it's just some personal grievances, nothing to mention, let's go , There's no need to waste time in this kind of place." He didn't intend to explain more about this kind of problem, and he was about to pull Shen Yufeng's hand while talking.

Shen Yufeng hid back and shook his head: "If I leave, those people will definitely be implicated by me."

Zhao Linhuai was surprised at first, then smiled and said: "They arrested you, and you still have to consider your family and life for them? Your little brother's kindness is too much!"

When he said these disrespectful words, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Shen Yufeng was not angry, but calmly said: "What they do is their business, and what I do is my business."

Zhao Linhuai was startled when he heard the words, looked at him with a pair of deep eyes, and said, "That's right, it's really interesting."

Although he came here to save Shen Yufeng, in the final analysis, it was just to prevent himself from being charged with the crime of harming others. He said he was saving others, but he actually had some intentions of charity and disdain in it. Only now did he see that Shen Yufeng's reply deeply pleased him. , I couldn't help but open the door and come to chat with him. In fact, I didn't pay attention to this poor reckless person in the world after all. But now I really respect Shen Yufeng's words, so I slow down my cynicism. With a lowered tone, he lowered his voice and asked, "I don't know what to call this brother?"

Shen Yufeng was about to answer his name, but when the words came to his lips, he temporarily put them away, pondered for a moment, and said, "My name is Li Han."

His entire mouth was completely covered by his beard, and Zhao Linhuai didn't notice anything unusual about him, so he took a step closer to him and asked, "Brother Li, where were you arrested?"

Shen Yufeng said: "I was drinking water by the river, and I met those people dressed as servants."

Thinking about what happened that day, he was still a little bit annoyed: "Actually, I was hiding in the mountains to practice, forgetting the passage of time, so I grew these beards unknowingly, and they happened to be you. I wanted to escape , I didn’t expect that they didn’t know what kind of weird poison they put on the net, which made me weak all over, so I could only catch it with nothing.”

Zhao Linhuai was surprised and said: "It turns out that Brother Li was arrested because of their 'Snow Zen'? Well, no wonder, this kind of drug is only available to the city lord of Zizai City. Its toxicity is rare in the world, and it is specially used to target People with high martial arts, the stronger the kung fu, the stronger the backlash, and it's only natural that you can't escape."

Before Shen Yufeng could respond, he laughed again: "Haha, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, this old thief Shi Guanghe really took great pains to catch me, Mr. Zhao, not bad."

Shen Yufeng couldn't help but feel amused. This person spoke straightforwardly without any scruples or scheming, which unexpectedly suited his temperament.One is open and aboveboard, the other is free and easy, and the two chat a few words, which makes them more interesting.

After talking for a while, Zhao Linhuai suddenly sighed: "Brother, we are similar in shape, we were caught by the wrong person, and we just met in Zizai City tonight. Isn't this a kind of fate?"

He paused, then suddenly thought of something, lowered his head to think for a while, raised his head again after a while, and said, "Brother Li, although there were only a few conversations, but Mr. You have similar temperaments and congenial spirits, how about we take advantage of the right time and place to sworn brothers of the opposite sex?"

Shen Yufeng was stunned: "Brother Zhao is joking. We haven't even had a quarter of an hour since we met. This is really sudden."

Zhao Linhuai said with a smile: "Haha, I'm not kidding, Zhao never cares about how long they have known each other when making friends, as long as they get along well, not to mention Zhao is in his early forties, more than enough to be your big brother!"

Shen Yufeng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that he looked bold and vigorous, and he was already 40 years old.He hastily declined and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm not busy with the sworn ceremony. I just want to know where this Zizi City is."

Zhao Linhuai was surprised: "Brother, as a native of the Central Plains, he doesn't even know Zizai City."

Seeing Shen Yufeng shaking his head, he explained: "This is the court's place."

Zhao Linhuai said: "Zizai City is the place where the Central Plains imperial court and the Turkic garrison exchange information. The city lord Shi Guanghe is a subordinate of the current Sixth Prince. And I won’t just grab someone to replace me just to make a job.”

Ever since he came in, Shen Yufeng felt that his words, deeds, and tone of speech were not like people from the Central Plains. Now when he heard the word "Turk", his mind became clear, and he immediately became vigilant: "Are you a Turk?"

At this moment, there was an urgent sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a black figure came in, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Shen Yufeng took a closer look and saw that the visitor was dressed in black. It was the foreign woman outside the city gate who wanted to rob Shen Yufeng during the day.

Zhao Linhuai said slowly, "Hong Lian, what's wrong?"

The woman gasped and said, "Brother, that old thief Shi Guanghe found us entering the city! He is sending more people to encircle us, and now he is coming towards Wuxin Pavilion!"

Shen Yufeng suddenly said: "So you are a brother and sister, well, you are both Turkic."

The Turks are located in the north of the frontier, and they have been fighting with the Central Plains for years. The two sides have had grievances for many years and have little contact. .

Zhao Linhuai snorted coldly and said, "What about the Turkic people?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were contemptuous, and his tone was full of disdain and arrogance.

Shen Yufeng was shocked by this answer, and after a while, he also said: "That's right, what about the Turkic people?"

Don't say that Zhao Linhuai is a Turk, even if he is just an ordinary mountain villager, as long as he fits his temperament, he is his friend.

This remark made Zhao Rin even more affectionate, and he couldn't help but blurted out his praise: "Well, there is such an upright person as brother in the Central Plains! Mr. Zhao's trip tonight is indeed worthwhile!"

He and Shen Yufeng met each other's eyes, and they both saw a hint of sympathy in each other's eyes.

One went deep into dangerous situations to save strangers, and the other would rather be caught and imprisoned by mistake than flee while hurting others. Both of them possessed a kind of benevolence and righteousness, which made Shen Yufeng feel a feeling that he had never felt before. Although Yun Lian and Yun Lian are also said to be congenial, but because the relationship is too ambiguous, there is always a faint flirtatious meaning between the two of them when they talk, and many things in their hearts are always unable to be expressed too clearly, and they have never been in Zhao Lin's arms. Such a frank pleasure in front of him.

He thought, this friend, he made up his mind.

Hong Lian, who was left on the sidelines, let out a gasp, looked at this person, then at Shen Yufeng, and seeing that the time was urgent, he hurriedly urged: "Brother, let's go quickly! Shi Guanghe's men are coming soon!"

They looked out at the same time, and sure enough, they could see the flames blazing outside the attic, and the voices of people were rushing towards this place from the southwest.

Zhao Linhuai said: "Brother Li, come with us."

Shen Yufeng said: "No problem, I will go out with you! If you want to go out, go out together, if you want to be arrested, you will be arrested together!"

Zhao Linhuai's eyes burst into fiery light, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Okay, okay, okay!"

He said three good words in a row, looked at Shen Yufeng's eyes and became more friendly than Shicai, and said frankly: "Brother, to be honest, our brothers and sisters are not ordinary people in the world, but Turkic envoys. When I came to the Central Plains, I conveyed my lord’s intention of seeking peace to the emperor of the Central Plains. I didn’t expect to meet people from Zizai City on the way. My brother and sister were not familiar with the place, so they were tricked and trapped in the city. A few days ago, our brother and sister took advantage of The old thief Shi Guanghe sent people to keep chasing him, so we had to separate. If we hadn't heard the news that Zizai City arrested people and returned to the city, and went back to Zizai City to inquire about the news, someone Zhao would have There will be no chance to reunite with my sister. After all, brother Li is also our benefactor."

He spoke vaguely, but Shen Yufeng understood that the Central Plains court had been fighting with the Turks for many years, and it was absolutely impossible to just ask for peace. Knowing the reason, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, Zhao Linhuai's ability to inform him of his identity as an envoy proved that he already valued him very much.

Shen Yufeng changed his mind, shook his head and said: "According to what Brother Zhao said, since it has already involved the important affairs of the family and the country, it should not be postponed. It is not a long-term solution for Brother Zhao to keep running away. According to my thinking, instead of hiding, Sit back and wait for death, or face the enemy calmly!"

After hearing this, Zhao Linhuai fell into deep thought. After a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter: "That's right, brother, you are right. People with a clear conscience have become street rats, and people with sneaky thoughts are sitting in temples. It's ridiculous! Today Somebody Zhao is coming to rewrite the direction of this story! Stop hiding!"

He waved his hand and said, "Don't hide! Just fuck Shi Guanghe!"

Infected by his laughter, Shen Yufeng also felt heroic for a while, and suddenly heaved a long sigh of relief, and said, "No matter what choice Brother Zhao makes, I am willing to advance and retreat with you two!"

He said that he was about to stand up, but after meditating all afternoon, he had just regained his strength, his feet were numb, and he almost fell when he stood up. Unexpectedly, Zhao Linhuai reached out to him and held him, the two of them said in unison Laughing, holding hands with each other and walking to where the fire came from.

***

Shen Yufeng and Zhao Linhuai walked side by side, followed by the woman named Hong Lian, and the three of them walked together to the tree-lined path outside Wuxin Pavilion, and met people from Zizai City.

Shen Yufeng looked at the opponent's horses with the help of the fire that shot up into the sky.

I saw hundreds of servants standing opposite Wu Yangyang, all of whom were holding swords and hemp ropes, surrounded by a middle-aged man in a fine attire. violent color.

Zhao Linhuai whispered in his ear: "Brother Li, the person standing in front of you is Shi Guanghe, the lord of Zizai City, and the man next to him is the number one military adviser in Zizai City, named Gong Yeming. This person is sophisticated and witty. You have to be careful."

It was only then that Shen Yufeng noticed that besides Shi Guanghe, there was a literati wearing a scarf standing beside him. He had a beautiful face and three small beards under his lips. He looked like an upright scholar.

This person is thin and plainly dressed. Standing next to Shi Guanghe in brocade clothes, he has no sense of existence. Shen Yufeng was also focusing on Shi Guanghe just now, and did not notice the existence of this person, but once he just looked at him With just one glance, one can feel an unforgettable elegant temperament in him.

Shen Yufeng felt as if he had seen this person somewhere, since he discovered Gong Yeming's existence, he had been staring at his face.

That Gong Yeming seemed to be aware of his gaze, he took his gaze away from Zhao Linhuai and glanced at him.

Shi Guanghe ordered everyone behind him to take three steps back before bowing to Zhao Linhuai and saying: "The last time the son of Zhao left without authorization, I didn't have time to show my kindness as a landlord. It's a great pity. It's rare that the son took the initiative to show up tonight. It’s less time-consuming to search for it.”

Shen Yufeng snorted secretly, it turned out that Zhao Linhuai was not only an envoy from a foreign country, but also the heir of the Turks.

Zhao Linhuai was careless, and said: "Old fox speaks up when he has something to say, and don't make such nonsense witty talk! It makes people feel sick to hear it!"

That Shi Guanghe was so taunted by him in front of his subordinates, he couldn't hold back his face, and said resentfully: "The son has a noble status, so he is naturally more embroidered than this one, but I don't know if he can do the same in front of the sixth prince." horizontal?"

As soon as Zhao Linhuai heard the word "Sixth Prince", he finally calmed down his casual expression, and said in a low voice, "The Sixth Prince is here too?"

Shi Guanghe said: "The Sixth Prince already knew about Prince Zhao's coming to the Central Plains, and he sent people from the city to kill people to silence him."

Zhao Linhuai's expression suddenly became serious, frowning and silent, Shen Yufeng had never seen him like this before, and was about to ask who this "six princes" were and why he was so confronted with an enemy, but Zhao Linhuai suddenly said: "Speak, what you up to?"

Shi Guanghe said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, to tell you the truth, in fact, cooperating with me right now is the only way out."

Hong Lian pulled Zhao Linhuai's sleeves aside, and whispered: "Brother, don't believe him, we have the evidence to bring down the sixth prince, go directly to Beijing to find the emperor of the Central Plains, and hand over the things!"

Instead, Zhao Linhuai gently pushed her away, and said to Shi Guanghe, "Okay, I will cooperate with you."

Before Shi Guanghe could smile, he said again: "The premise is that you send the two of them out of the city."

Shi Guanghe said: "It's natural, we can send them out now."

Hong Lian became anxious all of a sudden: "Brother, I'm not leaving! We have to stay together! It's dangerous for you to stay here, Brother Li, talk to me!" Seeing that persuasion was useless, she asked Shen Yufeng for help.

Shen Yufeng just watched quietly from the side without making a sound. He knew that this was a matter between Zhao Linhuai and Zizai City, and he had no position to ask Zhao Linhuai's decision. Zhao Linhuai comforted Hong Lian and said to him: "It's an emergency , I have a mission for my brother, and I have many worries, so I have to change my mind temporarily, so please ask Brother Li to help me take care of this girl for a while."

Shen Yufeng said: "Okay, I will definitely take good care of her until Brother Zhao comes back."

Zhao Linhuai cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

Hong Lian still cried and pulled him: "Brother!"

"Let's go!" Zhao Linhuai directly pushed her towards Shen Yufeng, then waved her hand, and followed Shi Guanghe into the inner room.
