Han Lang was also bored at home, so he still went to help the neighbors in the next few days with their business.When he was so busy, he was wiping sweat with his sleeves when he suddenly heard a cry from the end of the street: "Jelly Bean Sweet Cake-needle thread brain-silk flower powder-children's stuff--"

As soon as the voice uttered the first sound, he recognized who it was. A name turned in his throat a few times, and he temporarily corrected it. When it came out, it had become: "Xiaosheng!"

Sure enough, it was Zhuzhen dressed as a shopkeeper, walking slowly with a cargo box on her back.Aunt Li next to Han Lang muttered, "I thought he moved away, why is he back?"

Han Lang didn't care about answering her long ago, and hurried forward to meet her.Zhuzhen was still surrounded by many women chirping, and many of them took out money to buy his things.Han Lang managed to push through the crowd and squeezed in. He got a lot of stares on the way, and finally got close to Zhuzhen, but he hesitated again, not knowing what to say.

Zhuzhen still looked back at him expressionlessly, this person doesn't like to laugh by nature, like a wood carving.

"Hey..." Han Lang hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to say, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Zhuzhen still spoke concisely, and nodded her head slightly as a greeting.At this moment, Han Lang saw a slippery lizard tail and a pointed mouse head protruding from his cargo box.A girl yelled "Oops" in fright, but when she took a closer look, the cargo box was fine again, and there was nothing strange about it.

"You're blind?" She said, covering her heart.Zhuzhen ignored her and continued to walk forward while yelling.Han Lang didn't follow and smiled helplessly.

Now he has the bottom line in his heart: he even brought these two children with him, it seems that he really came back.

At noon, Han Lang knocked on the door of Zhuzhen's house, and dragged him out for a small gathering without any explanation. Zhuzhen couldn't resist him, and there were skinks and ermines around, so he could only agree.The two walked into a restaurant on the corner of the street together, ordered two small dishes and a jar of wine at random.Zhuzhen was still seldom talking, Han Lang clinked glasses with him, and then said: "I also know your identity, and I have helped you so much, so I will continue to be friends in the future."

Zhuzhen was silent for a while before replying: "Understood."

Han Lang smiled, he knew how to deal with this person, he can't let him go, he just needs to take the initiative.He filled another cup for Zhuzhen, and asked like a big brother caring about his little brother, "What about you and big brother Ruan?"

Zhuzhen looked indifferent and said, "I don't know, he still lives in the forest, he said he is used to it, and he doesn't want to go back to Xunfeng Tower."

Han Lang thought to himself, didn't Zhuzhen turn around and run away back then, how could she still know this?It seems to have gone back later.Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, and changed the subject: "This time there is such a big commotion, your identity has also been leaked, will there be any trouble?"

Zhuzhen directly poured the wine down her throat, put the glass away at the end, and said, "Isn't that what they do in Xunfeng Tower? I think it's okay to disappear from the rivers and lakes from now on, and I'm afraid that my identity will be leaked?"

This time Han Langshi smiled honestly: "Then why are you still making trouble, hurry up and thank you Brother Ruan."

Zhuzhen glared at him fiercely, but he didn't deny the quarrel, he just said angrily, "What are you meddling with?"

It was so rare to see Zhu Zhen deflated, Han Lang felt extremely happy, and said happily, "I was born like this, and you have said it several times, but I still haven't changed it."

"You've been with He surnamed for a long time, and you've become like him," Zhu Zhen drank another cup, gritted her teeth, "You deserve a beating."

Zhuzhen said that she didn't want to leave for the time being, so she came back again.The traitor incident in Xunfenglou ended, Ruan Ping sent two goblins to follow Zhuzhen, and he was still living in the old place.I don't know what the relationship between the two is. If Zhuzhen doesn't say anything, Han Lang can't ask.However, Han Lang noticed a small detail. Every time Zhuzhen mentioned Ruan Ping, although her face was calm, her hand was always on the cup.Even when he just put down the glass after drinking, he still refused to take his hand away as usual, but held on tightly to the glass like a deep hatred, and never let go.

It seems that he is not completely relieved.Han Lang thought to himself.Fortunately, he himself is not a gossip person, and this aspect is not his strong point, as long as everyone is doing well, let those things take their course.

In the middle of drinking, Zhu Zhen looked Han Lang over, and suddenly said, "There is news in Jianghu, which may be useful to you."

Han Lang got a little excited after drinking, thought that Zhuzhen was still joking, so he smiled and said, "Oh? Then do I have to spend money to buy it from you?"

Zhu Zhen cast a glance at him: "It's fine if you don't listen."

It was only then that Han Lang faintly sensed that something was wrong, he withdrew his smile, and said seriously, "What news?"

Zhu Zhen waved her hand, signaling Han Lang to come closer, and then whispered in his ear, "The King Xian is in contact with Xirong forces, and seems to be plotting something. In addition, there are a large number of caravans coming in from the west, all of them are barbarians, without female relatives. "

Han Lang's heart trembled: "Could it be..."

"I'm not interested in participating in such things, and I have cut off contact with King Xian. But you are close to King Zhao, so I remind you a few words."

Han Lang nodded, at this moment Zhuzhen pushed him back to his original position, raising his glass as if he hadn't said anything just now: "Cheers."

It is inevitable that people will be suspicious of whispering all the time, and now I am afraid that there are spies by my side.Han Lang had no choice but to withdraw the nervousness on his face, put on a smile and clink glasses with him.

On the way home, Han Lang fell into deep thought.Is there going to be another military disaster?Sure enough, King Xian is not a law-abiding person, he is a main fighter, and war will definitely bring him some benefits.Based on Han Lang's impression of him, he must not be satisfied with military achievements or other things. His vision is very high, even to some unattainable places...

War can bring many hidden dangers, refugees, and turmoil, but it can also facilitate certain forces' contact with foreign countries, so as to achieve some ulterior motives.By the way, if I were a virtuous king, the money from the private saltworks and other cases at that time would have been used to reach an agreement with Xi Rong, even to purchase armaments and arm soldiers--

What are you thinking about!

Han Lang hurriedly put an end to these dangerous thoughts. What's the use of pure speculation without evidence?But the caravan is very suspicious, so it's better to tell King Zhao at that time.As for the contact between King Xian and Xirong, after all, it is news from Jianghu, and it also involves the clan, so it is better not to risk mentioning it.In order not to touch Zhao Wang's bottom line, but to harm himself.

Han Lang sighed, thinking that he was an ordinary person, and it would be like walking on thin ice if he had to deal with these unattainable people...

Thinking wildly all the way, passed by the county government unknowingly, and met Abao again.The other party saw him from afar and ran towards him, grabbed his arms and shouted: "Boss! Something happened again!"

"what's up?"

It turned out that County Magistrate Yuan was unlucky again. He wanted to notify Jingli of such a big incident before, but he didn't expect the pigeons in the Yamen station to disappear out of thin air.Then the horse disappeared, and he is now completely cut off from the outside world, not even money.I originally wanted to ask the people in the town for help, but I didn't expect them to find various excuses to refuse when they heard that they were the county magistrate.Now County Magistrate Yuan is going crazy, and every day he asks them to arrest people quickly, but they can't catch them at all.

Carrier pigeons... Han Lang's heart skipped a beat.What did you have for dinner these days?Yesterday, stewed pigeon meat, the day before yesterday, fried squab, and the day before yesterday, pigeon soup.He also teased that He Yijiu had some grudges with the pigeons recently, and he ate them in different ways all day long. He Yijiu smiled and replied that it was nothing, because the pigeons are not very pleasing to the eye recently.

Shouldn't...

Han Lang immediately rushed to find He Yijiu.

The other party has returned home and is busy in the kitchen.The room was not well ventilated, and the heat wave was roiling inside. He Yijiu was naked from the waist up, with a layer of greasy sweat sticking to his broad shoulders.I don't know if it's Han Lang's delusion, since He Yijiu came back from the barren mountains, He Yijiu's muscles have become more defined, and the old scars on his body have disappeared, and when the other party's lust surged up on the bed... the skin under the skin There seems to be a layer of black markings faintly, but it is fleeting.

Seeing himself think of something strange, especially recalling some emotionally stirring things, Han Lang suddenly felt his body heat up, and the roots of his ears were even red enough to drip blood.Fortunately, he quickly suppressed this emotion, stood outside the door and waited for himself to calm down before stepping in.

"Standing outside for so long, what are you thinking about?" He Yijiu turned around and asked, holding a spatula in his hand, and gestured, "Fascinated by the husband?"

Han Lang was stubborn as always: "What are you talking about, I'm not ashamed."

After all, he directly lifted the lid of the pot, and sure enough, he saw the fresh pigeon meat surging in the dense water vapor, and the aroma was tangy.

"Hey, be careful it's hot!" He Yijiu hurriedly reminded him.

Han Lang put the lid on the pot as it was, turned around and told He Yijiu what he heard today in a few words. At first, he meant to question him, but He Yijiu grinned and admitted: "Yes, I What did you do?"

Then stretched out a sweaty hand to stroke Han Lang's back collar: "It's still busy here, you go out first, I'll talk to you later."

"But--"

He Yijiu picked up a piece of meat and blew it, and put it into Han Lang's mouth: "By the way, taste the saltiness."

"Oh, yes, it's delicious. But—"

"It tastes good? OK, help me take this out by the way."

Han Lang was coaxed out just like that.

It was only at the dinner table that He Yijiu explained the whole story clearly. He is a person who holds grudges and always seeks revenge.Mr. Han is far away in the south, and He Yijiu's power cannot be moved, so he can only give up temporarily, but this magistrate Yuan, who not only bullied his family, A-Lang, but also put himself in prison, is not willing to let go easily. pass.

To be honest, Han Lang felt relieved when He Yijiu did this.But he was just worried that going too far would cause trouble for each other: "You won't kill him, will you?"

He Yijiu sneered: "What the hell, it's worthless."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Just wait and see."

Han Lang was still not at ease, he didn't know what to do with a piece of pigeon meat.He Yijiu comforted him with a smile: "King Zhao said he wanted us to deal with the unfinished business, and he must have expected that I would do this. Besides, the surname Yuan is causing trouble for the people, so I can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people .”

Seeing that Han Lang still refused to move his chopsticks, he directly leaned over and patted him: "Hurry up and eat! In case you are hungry again, just yell twice at night that you are tired and want to sleep, and get up in the middle of the night to find something to eat."

Han Lang looked embarrassed, he did this kind of thing before, but what does it mean twice, how many more times does he want? !

As a result, that night, He Yijiu asked for it four times.At the back, Han Lang's eyes were already wandering, he didn't know where he was, not to mention worrying about County Magistrate Yuan, he even forgot his last name.

The next morning I was too tired to get out of bed.

Sometimes he would have an unspeakable thought, He Yijiu's physical strength seemed to have improved a lot, could it be that he went to the barren mountains and was fed some great tonic by Shen Minggui? !But every time he asked, He Yijiu would find all kinds of reasons to fool him, just not telling the truth.Han Lang didn't know that He Yijiu had been transformed into a tiger for too long, and now that he couldn't control his power well, he thought that the other party had really made some kind of deal with Shen Minggui, and took some strange medicine.

So much so that for a long time now, Han Lang grabbed a book on alchemy and read it carefully, trying to find some clues.

What Han Lang didn't know was that He Yijiu was actually more perceptive than him, and also discovered something wrong with Han Lang.He didn't say anything, just waited like this, wondering when Han Lang would take the initiative to tell him.After walking back from the barren mountains, the relationship between the two seems to be closer, but there seems to be something missing in the dark.This mutual concealment made him feel insecure.That's why He Yijiu proposed repeatedly that he wanted to live in seclusion. He felt that when the two of them were relieved of their burdens, they should be able to meet each other honestly.

Will there really be such a day?

He turned around and closed the door, saw Han Lang's profile from the window, gritted his teeth secretly.

Yes, he believed in Han Lang and his own judgment.At least with Han Lang, he has never lost a bet.

Unable to communicate with the outside world and penniless, County Magistrate Yuan finally lost his composure.This morning, he called a few yamen servants to be his bodyguards, and the group hurried out the door.His hometown is not here, he came to take office alone, and he has no relatives or friends nearby, so the only way is to ask the capital for help.Pity them and their party, they don't even have horses, so they can only walk towards the capital on foot like those porters.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the journey is not too far away, and it usually takes two days to walk there.But County Magistrate Yuan made a wrong calculation. Those "gangsters" who targeted him had already controlled his every move. Even if he escaped from the city, he would just fall into a bigger trap.

The long journey made Yuan County Magistrate's old arms and legs a bit unbearable, and the yamen servants he brought seemed to him to be indifferent, and no one came to help him, so he walked slowly in front.The sun was shining brightly, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, a pleasant autumn wind was blowing head-on, and the sound of paddles could be heard in the distance.The fishing season was over, and there were very few small boats on the river, but this one happened to be parked by the river, as if waving to County Magistrate Yuan to let him in for a rest.

County magistrate Yuan thought, yes, the river goes directly to the capital, if the boatman can make it easier, wouldn't it save a lot of effort?He hurriedly led the people towards the water's edge, and after explaining his purpose, the boatman smiled slightly and said, "Yes."

Yuan county magistrate was overjoyed to get on the boat, but the boat was too small and could only carry five people.In desperation, Yuan County Magistrate only brought three people up.Soon, the boat rowed into the middle of the river, startling a flock of water birds.County magistrate Yuan was enjoying the beautiful scenery on the river in a happy mood, when suddenly he heard the sound of paddling the oars stop, and the boatman strode towards him and stopped right in front of him.

It was only then that County Magistrate Yuan realized that the boatman had a rather robust figure and a familiar face.Unexpectedly, he took off the hood, wiped off the dirt on his face, and it was He Yijiu's face that was revealed!

"you you--"

Before County Magistrate Yuan had time to call for help, the yamen servant he had brought was thrown off the boat.Then with a splash, the oars were thrown into the river and floated away.He Yijiu approached him with a smirk, he shouted for help, but no one could hear him.

Afterwards, He Yijiu directly practiced lightness kung fu and returned to the shore easily.There was still a lonely boat floating on the river, and it was not until late at night that the nearby villagers found a man in a state of distress appearing on the bank. He was soaked, his hair, beard and eyebrows had been shaved, and he kept wailing Saying that he is the magistrate of Anping County, the villagers laughed and said, "What nonsense is this man talking about! How could the magistrate look like this, he must be a liar!"

At this time, He Yijiu had already returned home, and he hugged Han Lang into his arms with a smile: "Okay, Yuan won't bother us anymore."
