.

Zhang recognized Xiao Buyi for a while, but he didn't know him for a while, and he was full of confusion.

The general in front of him had thick eyebrows and straight nose, which was so handsome that he was exactly the same as the bandit leader he robbed back then. But how could the bandit leader be a general? This is not a big joke?

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "Go to the assassin to see if there are any clues. These people are simply lawless now."

The Bingwei passed by early and flipped the dead assassin all over. Old Zhang knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said like a garlic, "General, General, the villain was blinded by the ghost for a moment, and he misjudged the general..."

Xiao Buyi thought to himself, you read that right, the bandits and the general were originally the same person. But now you want to prove me like Lai San, but you don’t have Yu Wen and are the backstage, so it’s a joke to prove me.

"Get up," Xiao Buyi saw that Lao Zhang was almost knocking, and said with a smile: "Remember the reason why the disaster comes from the mouth, be careful next time and go back."

Old Zhang turned around with great gratitude, but the Bingwei turned around and said in a panic: "Sir, there is no clue left on the assassin, but his subordinates will inform the prefect Wang and ask him to find the person instructing him as soon as possible. There are also General Xiao, how to deal with these diners, and whether to catch them back and ask questions. There may be a fellow assassin here."

The situation was in chaos just now. The diners were originally scattered, but were all controlled by the guards rushing from all directions. Now they were trembling at the young general in front of them.

Xiao Buyi ignored his subordinate's advice and stood up to the assassin's side. Seeing his very young face full of disbelief and horror.

The assassin was still very young, but he lost his life early.

Xiao Buyi looked at that face and once again found that he had changed a lot. In the past, he always ran for life. In the past, when he assassinated him, he always had to consider who would kill him. How to resolve it, but now it is different.

When the killer came to kill him, he almost did not hesitate to fight back and kill him. His life was like a mustard of grass, and he only had one. Killing and killing was his only way now.

Since he became the General of the Right Guard, although he didn't want to show off his character, his subordinates always had to follow him. Xiao Buyi was used to being alone, and suddenly he was a little uncomfortable with him.

However, although he did not let the guards follow him, the general entered Mayi City, so the guards dared not be negligent. They had been patrolling the open gates and secretly guards in Mayi City, but they did not expect that the assassin could still sneak in without knowing it.

A completely unfamiliar face, two completely unfamiliar people, but they were destined to be divided into one's own life and death. When Xiao Buyi stood up, he smiled and came to this ridiculous conclusion.

"Are you Shangguan Lanxuan?" Xiao Buyi turned around and asked.

Bingwei said: "Yes."

"Do as you said, let these people go." Xiao Buyi pondered, "You guys go back, I want to calm down alone."

The guards nodded and disappeared into the darkness, like ghosts.

But Xiao Buyi sat back on the stool. When he saw the old man looking at him, he apologized to take out a string of money and put it on the table. "Fortunately, the loss is not big. I will be compensated for this little money."

The old man looked at Xiao Buyi with his turbid eyes, slowly collected the copper coins, and soon came up with a bowl of noodles.

He silently packed up the scattered tables and stools, did not complain, and waited for the guests to arrive for the time being. For him, he had seen more of this kind of scene, and there was nothing else but patience.

"Why do you think so many people want to kill me?" Xiao Buyi looked at the old man and suddenly asked, "I did this last year, but this year is still the same?"

The old man's lips squirmed twice and said hoarsely: "Why don't they kill me?"

Xiao Buyi looked at the old man's eyes and said after a long time: "Thank you."

The old man stopped talking and turned to the soup pot to continue waiting. It was late at night, and it was obviously not the diners, but life.

A gentle cough came, and Xiao Buyi was about to get off the chopsticks, but suddenly turned around and turned around. The coughing sound was very familiar, which made him suddenly think of Li Xuanba!

The man like fire burned his last life and won the life of the Li family!

A man walked out of the darkness, slowly came to Xiao Buyi to sit down, turned his head and said to the old man, "Come on the bowl of pig's feet."

The man was dressed in men's clothes, but he was obviously a woman. Xiao Buyi was stunned for a while and said, "Miss Pei, why is it you?"

Pei Mingcui lost a lot of weight, and her eyes seemed to be on fire. There was actually the shadow of Li Xuanba at the time. Xiao Buyi suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart, and he didn't expect Pei Mingcui to arrive in Mayi.

Pei Mingcui looked at Xiao Buyi, then looked at the steaming bowl of pork-foot noodles in front of her, and did something that Xiao Buyi unexpectedly. She picked up the chopsticks that were not clean and ate the noodles in big mouthfuls, as if she hadn't eaten for a few days.

Xiao Buyi didn't speak, and quietly waited for her to finish the bowl of noodles. After Pei Mingcui finished eating a bowl of noodles, she put down her chopsticks and said another strange thing, "I don't feel hungry."

"I think you haven't eaten for at least three days." Xiao Buyi smiled.

Pei Mingcui coughed, "I eat less every day and think more. Although I am not hungry, I have to eat it. Only after eating will I have the strength to think about it."

Xiao Buyi frowned, "You look very sick." He was a little unbelievable about Pei Mingcui's changes. In a year, there were too many things that had changed.

Pei Mingcui suddenly said in shock: "Wang Xuba is dead."

"You killed?"

"I'm the one who killed them. They are very cunning. I have never wanted to die alone." Pei Mingcui sighed softly, "Wang Xuba, Wei Daoer are both extremely cautious people, and it is not easy to let them die. Wang Xuba and Wei Daoer plotted against Xuanba after he plotted against Xuanba. He did not stop in the east capital and went straight west. He knew that I would not let them go. When he returned to their hometown, he simply rebelled. Wang Xuba called himself the King of Mantian. Wei Daoer finally took the banner of Li Shanfei. They gathered tens of thousands to attack the county, but were defeated by the general of the left imperial guard, Xue Shixiong and Yuchi Gong, the county guards, led their troops to join forces to defeat..."

Seeing Xiao Buyi's expression slightly moved, Pei Mingcui asked, "What's wrong with Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "Nothing."

He finally heard what others said about Yuchi Gong. He remembered that he could live to this day and have the achievements of today, and Yuchi Gong's guidance was essential.

Although Pei Mingcui is well-informed, she must not understand the friendship between Xiao Buyi and Yuchi Gong. She looks very tired and exhausted.

"I followed them all the way to the county and killed Wang Xuba when he was defeated and defeated, but Wei Daoer escaped." Pei Mingcui sighed, "And I can't find him even if I escaped without a trace."

Xiao Buyi heard Pei Mingcui’s simple words, and I don’t know how much hard work and sadness contained, and finally said: “Miss Pei, Brother Xuanba has a confidante like you, who will die without regrets. If he had any knowledge in the spring, he would definitely not want you to go back and forth like this…”

Seeing Pei Mingcui lowered her head and two tears fell from the noodle bowl, Xiao Buyi stopped persuading her. He knew that this kind of sadness was already to the core. Pei Mingcui was not for Li Xuanba, but for her determination. She had a deep relationship with Li Xuanba. Li Xuanba went, and she couldn't convince herself to stop.

Pei Mingcui is undoubtedly an abnormality

people.

The night is as cool as water. Only the fire on the ground on the side brings a warmth to this cold night. The old man no longer looks at the pair of strange diners, but just looks at the distant night sky. There are stars, eternal and unchanging.

"There are three men I admire most in my life." Pei Mingcui did not look up and whispered: "One is the Master. I know that he is unreasonable in the eyes of many people. But I know that he is a affectionate man, and I can't forget Chen Xuanhua. How long can you remember a person who is dead? One day or a lifetime? The Master can remember his life, and I thank him for my aunt. The second place I admire is Xuanba. His childhood sweetheart and I only see him all day long, but I feel sad for him all the time, but I laugh for him all the time. After he dies, I never laughed again..."

Xiao Buyi felt sad when he heard this, but he just looked at the strange woman in front of him. The more he knew, the more difficult it was for him to understand the woman's thoughts.

Although she always shows herself a bit rougher, there are really few people who are delicate and indifferent.

"The third man I admire is you." Pei Mingcui raised her head and looked at Xiao Buyi, with tears in the corner of her eyes, but she did not wipe it away. "Brother Xiao, I can say that I watched you step by step from a civilian to the position of the general today. I am happy for you, but I also feel that I dragged you into the water. I was a little confused. At first, I just wanted to find a good minister for the Lord, and later I wanted Brother Xiao to slowly understand and convince the Lord, but I found that all this was just a futile thing. Many things could not be changed. But Brother Xiao's change really surprised me, but the master of great merit was not a good thing after all. Zixu Wen planted the Marquis of Huaiyin, and no one would have a good end in the end. Although the Lord appointed you as the General, it was also a temporary solution. If you don't do it well, you will be killed by the old clan. For example, if you do it today, in the future, if you do a good job, the Lord will not keep you..."

Xiao Buyi was surprised, not because of his own situation, but because Pei Mingcui actually expressed Yang Guang's thoughts in front of him.

Pei Mingcui sighed softly, "I heard that the emperor was surrounded, so I didn't care about looking for Wei Daoer anymore, and went straight from the county to Dongdu to invite reinforcements. You also know that the news in my area has always been more informative. But the news can be made with pigeons, and it is still necessary to ask for reinforcements."

Xiao Buyi remembered the pigeons when Pei Bei went out of the frontier and knew that what she said was true.

Pei Mingcui said again: "Yanmen was surrounded. After I received the news, I quickly arrived at Dongdu and invited troops to Yanmen County. I couldn't show up, so I had to arrive later.

But when I arrived at Tongguan, I realized that the siege of Yanmen had been lifted. I was waiting for the saint in Tongguan, but the saint went to Dongdu."

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "What the emperor declared at the beginning was to go to Xijing, why did he transfer to Dongdu again?"

Pei Mingcui shook his head slowly, "It's a good move to Xijing, but I don't know why when I go to Dongdu. I know the temper of the emperor. I didn't dissuade him in Tongguan. I just planned to go to Taiyuan to pay tribute to Xuanba and then go back to Dongdu to ask the emperor..."

She said something a little confused, as if she was not sure. Xiao Buyi frowned secretly, thinking that Yang Guang changed three times a day and was betrayed by his relatives. Now even the loyal Pei Mingcui seemed to be confused, and she, the general, would have been better off looking for a way out.

"But I know you're in Mayi, so I'll come and see you." Pei Mingcui slowly stood up, took out six cents and put them on the table, "Boss, this is my dough."

"This meal..." Xiao Buyi saw Pei Mingcui's somewhat thin figure, and could not even speak the following words.

"It seems that I won't owe you anything from today." Pei Mingcui asked seriously.

Xiao Buyi sighed and said, "If you owe me this way, I really hope that everyone in the world will owe me."

Pei Mingcui also sighed softly, "Since that's the case, it's not worth my trip to Mayi. It's just that I'll part today. I don't know when I see you again. The future is hard to figure out now. Please take care of Brother Xiao."

After she finished speaking, she slowly walked into the darkness. Although it was slow, it was firm.

Xiao Buyi wanted to say something, but finally sat down and was speechless for a while.

It was getting deeper and the wind was colder. The autumn in the north seemed to come early and cold. The silence of the man did not move. The old man who sold noodles did not move, and he did not advise the diner to leave early.

Perhaps in his mind, it is nothing to turn around, and it is also a good thing if someone accompany him through the long night.

In the long night, a desolate and old voice came, as if singing and sighing, "I don't know what tomorrow will happen today, and the land will come from tomorrow. Wealth and the moon will last forever. The beauty is old in front of the red candle. Even if it is a romantic life for all ages. The wind is whistling, and people are slim, and in the end, fate will be hard to escape..."

Xiao Buyi was attracted by the desolate voice of the old man and turned her head to look over. She realized that for some reason, two tears fell in the turbid eyes of the old man selling noodles. They fell into the dust and mixed into one color.

**

Xiao Buyi was not happy when he turned back to the General's Mansion.

There is no general's mansion in Mayi, but since the General of the Right Guard was going to live here for a few days, Wang Rengong still prepared a mansion for Xiao Buyi to live temporarily.

When he saw Xiao Buyi turning around, Fang Wuhui showed a strange expression on his face and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Xiao, your wife is looking for you."

Xiao Buyi was a little stunned, "My wife, who is it?"

Fang Wuhui frowned and said, "That's what they said they were lying to me. They said you know Lord Xiao. Two women said they were your wife and a bearded man, saying they were your brother. The villain was ignorant and deceived by them. They thought they were really Lord Xiao's relatives, so they treated them. I thought that Lord Xiao was so handsome, how could there be such an ugly brother? It's time to beat him!"

He raised his hand to hit him, but he didn't expect Xiao Buyi to grab his hand and said in surprise: "Are they many people? Where are they?"

"There are mainly four people, and the rest are servants."

When Xiao Buyi saw the bearded man, he walked over quickly, "Brother, how could you find me?"

When he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the two women in the seat next to him. One was already blushing and was a little young, but he lowered his head but still looked at him secretly. The other man's face was a little pale and somewhat bloody. When he saw Xiao Buyi looking over, he smiled slightly.

There was another person in the room, with a clear face and a literary man dressed up. When Xiao Buyi saw the four, all the melancholy was wiped out. He did not expect that the bearded guest, Pei Bei, Yuan Lan and Yuan Qiaoxi would find it here.

After waved his hand and let Fang Wuhui and his servant go down, Xiao Buyi then looked at Pei Bei and said, "Have you healed a little?"

Pei Bei nodded, "It's better, I'm just too frustrated with Doctor Le..."

"It's not that you're frustrated, it's because there's no third brother there." The bearded guest laughed, "In Taiping Village, there's a big beard and a white beard, and you don't look like you."

Everyone laughed. Pei Bei was usually cold and cold. After changing into women's clothing, her personality changed a lot. She blushed and said, "Brother, you..."
