Zhui Xu

The chaotic beacon smoke is like sparks flying, and the night gradually deepens.

In the courtyard at the northwest end of the city, the dinner after the war was a hot pot feast.

A variety of food is mixed in a pot of relatively clear water, supplemented by a unique sauce brought from three thousand miles away. Every ten people sit around a table. As a reward for victory, each person gets a little fermented glutinous rice , coupled with the browned horse meat roasted with various spices in the center of the venue, are all evil ways from the Southwest, which is intoxicating.

The noise of the city in the night is like a weird background music, the outer guard posts have changed for a round, and in the lively courtyard, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army and the Beiwei Army walked back and forth, mingling together.

When the night was getting dark, the social gatherings among the people gradually came to an end, and the bustle ended, Chen Fan just returned to the round table under the eaves to have a few mouthfuls of decent food. At this time, Qian Luoning, Xiao Qi and others had also finished their tour , Hei Niu, Xiao Hei, Yuwen Fit and the others finished the fight and went to the table to accompany them, so they could talk about some more personal and confidential topics.

"Long... well, what about Young Hero Long, what's going on?"

As the actual leader of the 29th Army of the Huaxia Army, Chen Fan's status in this world is quite high now, and people around him will not easily bother him with many small things in the green forest. A few days ago, he decided to attack Lin Zongwu as a bully sword. In the eyes of Zuo Xiuquan and others, it was already a condescending and unnecessary move. He had heard about Ning Ji's running away from home. After communicating with Qian Luoning and the others, he also knew about the behavior of the other party's pseudonym Long Aotian, but he would not talk about these things with the people around him, and the people around him would never introduce "Five Chi" to him. Rumors of a rookie like "Y Demon" Long Aotian.

Because of this, I was quite surprised to learn about the follow-up today.

Hearing this question, Qian Luoning, Xiao Qi and the others laughed a little, while Hei Niu and the others looked at each other with different expressions.

"This matter is very complicated..." Qian Luoning said.

"It's only interesting when it's complicated." Chen Fan licked the rice, "A good young man, who ran away from home for less than half a year, and his name was on the black list, and he even got the nickname of Five Foot Y Demon, I'm a little bit surprised. Unexpectedly, with Ning Ji's character, how could it be... The thing about him running away from home is already nonsense, and I heard that he is still jealous of Qin Weiwen..."

"That Yu Xiao'er is a slut, it's a pity I didn't find her." Speaking of this, the black girl opposite said coldly...

Xiao Qi on the side said: "It's some problems left over from the past. Xiao...Xiaolong has a pure personality, which can be regarded as a natural disaster. The problem between him and Weiwen has been dealt with. But the matter of the Yan family is so big, it is indeed a bit Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei and the others led a team out to investigate a few days ago, and after saving the girl from the Yan family, we roughly figured out the ins and outs... Hei girl was involved a lot in this matter, come and talk to Chen Say it handsomely."

As she said so, she asked Hei Niu to speak and describe clearly one by one the major events of Ning Ji's coming from Tongshan County. When Hei Niu talked about the result, everyone couldn't laugh or cry. Of course, the rest of the people had heard the ins and outs of this matter before. Only Chen Fan listened while eating, and finally had a complicated expression. He didn't know what to do. Laugh or be serious.

"Actually, the specific matter is like this..." Hei Niu finally made Chen Jie, "Long... Our young hero Long, in Tongshan County, faced the pursuers of the entire Li family by himself and exchanged hostages. What he thought was against the enemy, he may feel that one sentence makes people feel overwhelmed and complacent, I think this... well, it is understandable."

Chen Fan picked up some leftovers, took two mouthfuls of rice, tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks, and fell silent for a moment.

"It's justifiable...you can say it like this, but it's all in the eyes of sensible people. Xiaolong...has a special status. In Zhangcun, it's because a woman ran away from home and was the first to break into the rivers and lakes. The famous person who came out is Y Demon, and he also brought the size, which may cause problems in the future."

After he finished speaking, Hei Niu's face was serious, and she said: "We have discussed this matter, but fortunately he used an alias, and said to the outside world that he is the 'Martial Arts Leader' Long Aotian, because people like Li Yanfeng are blind According to rumors, although there are some people who suspect that he is from the southwest, as long as the real identity is not revealed, it should not attract too much attention. On our side, the eighth master has already said it, so we will not make an official record. "

This is business, Chen Fan nodded, and after a pause, he smiled and said, "... the leader of the martial arts?"

"Well, he boasted that his sect is called the 'Wulin League', so he is the leader of the Wulin League." Xiao Qi suppressed a smile, "After arriving in Jiangning, he has opposed Xu Zhaonan, Zhou Shang, and Shi Baofeng. He wants to make a name for himself, make a name for himself, take a few shots, teach some bad guys a lesson, and leave behind his own nickname...It's a pity that no one pays attention to him."

"...The boss of the Wulin League is called the leader of the Wulin League. Lao Ning said this joke before."

Chen Fan couldn't help laughing, and the rest of the people laughed together, and the roof was filled with joy.

After laughing like this for a moment, Chen Fan restrained his expression. He looked at the people in front of him and pointed at Hei Niu: "Xiuxiu... grew up with Xiaolong, right? The last time I went to Zhang Village, Ning Xi and Chu When you got married, who was Ning Ji being hunted down by? Lao Ning said, "You two have a very good relationship. Last time I thought the little girl was just good at martial arts. This time, it seems that she is very organized in her words and actions..."

The black girl's name is Jin Wenxiu, and she met Chen Fan a few times before, in fact, most of them were Hong Ti's disciples. This time, she has experienced fighting side by side on the battlefield, and her perception is obviously more specific. When he said this, the black girl showed a rare look of embarrassment, and Xiao Hei and Yuwen next to her laughed and slapped the table.

In fact, Chen Fan said implicitly that the black girl is slightly younger than the first day of the junior high school, but it is the relationship between the teachers and sisters. Before and after Ning Xi married the first first day of the junior high school, she was occasionally considered Ning Ji's child bride-in-law. complicated reasons.

Xiaoqi on the side smiled and said: "It's like this. At first, Xiuxiu learned martial arts from my Hongti sister-in-law. Later, the second sister saw that she was smart, so she stayed with Zhangcun and studied accounting for two years. She Both civil and military, now she is a favorite. In the future, she will either enter the general staff or stay in the Zhangcun Secretariat. Even the watermelon sister-in-law has been greedy for her for a long time, saying that she will dig her to be a military adviser. In addition, my brother-in-law's mouth is in These things are also a bit of a nonsense joke, Yan girl Che Jian is in front, Chen Shuai, please stop talking nonsense."

"Well, it makes sense." Chen Fan nodded with a smile.

When a few people mentioned this, the black girl over there curled her lips, but reached out and patted the table: "I'm not as delicate as the little girl named Yan, but I'm from the same generation as the first graders. When I was in Zhangcun "Teach Xiaolong a lesson, that's what Mrs. Chan'er and Mr. Ning asked me to do. How can there be so many things."

"The thing is actually like this." Xiao Hei waved his hand, "In the early years, that kid Ning Ji was keen on practicing martial arts. You know Chen Shuai. These people grew up around them, and soon there was no sense of urgency in fighting, especially before and after the Southwest War, his martial arts progressed rapidly, and after he stayed in the army, ordinary martial arts competitions became child's play..."

"It's progressing so fast, but it's actually not good. Mrs. Hongti has high martial arts skills, but her personality is too gentle, and she can't give you a sense of tension in front of children. We haven't had the nerve to beat him to death these years, but honestly Said, if you don't use all your strength, at this time he is slippery, and you really can't keep him. Including some soldiers in the army. At that time... among the younger generation, Wenxiu was the most capable person, and often called a group of children to rush up and beat Ning Ji into a dead dog."

"So let me be fair." When he said this, he pointed his finger at the table, "It's really... a bit like a child bride."

After the words fell, the black girl over there turned her face, grabbed a chopstick with her left hand and stabbed at it, Xiao Hei blocked it with bamboo chopsticks, and Yuwen Feidu was about to dodge to the rear and get out of the battle circle. The broad beans were thrown out and hit him on the head. He was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "...The bad things that **** said have nothing to do with me."

Black girl with her hips on her hips: "I just do it!"

"Alas..." Yuwen Feidu sighed, lifted the stool and leaned against the table, "Chen Shuai, let me tell you, don't think that the black girl is normal now, she is actually crazy. After the Southwest War last year, Xiaoji After returning from the battlefield, the black girl beat him, but she couldn’t catch him very much. Once... I remember it was at the end of October, she sneaked to the side of the hut and threw firecrackers into it. The grenade kind, and then I saw..."

When he said this, the black girl punched him on the shoulder. He suppressed a smile and didn't care about it. Then he received a second and a third punch: "...Then I saw Xiaoji coming out of the hut with his pants up. Jumping out... He came back from the battlefield, he was very vigilant, he smashed through the door, and his movement was so flexible... The whole hut was blown up and down, and the people around were terrified. At that time...haha , Du Sha even went to see it, and after asking the ins and outs, he frowningly said... this... what's the matter with this hygiene, and then said, it can't be used, forget it and build a new one... hahahahahahaha..."

Yuwen Feidu slapped his thighs with laughter for a moment, Xiao Hei next to him also laughed, Xiao Qi covered his mouth, took a broad bean and beat it, Chen Fan over there sighed, put down the rice bowl in his hand, he couldn't laugh or cry. The black girl blushed: "I said it was Madam Chan'er and the others who entrusted me, that...that was to train him to react when he was attacked by a grenade! You see, Boss Du didn't even say that I can't bomb—"

At the end of the black girl's speech, she also burst out laughing, and she hit Yuwen Fit two times, sat there with her arms crossed, and after a while, she said with a smile: "Well, I admit that at that time... I was a little Dazed, that hut...that hut is everywhere...it's all that thing, and the head is still dripping from the beam...It almost fell on Boss Du's head. Yeah... I can't live anymore... Puff... Puff..."

Several people at the table were laughing, and Chen Fan couldn't hold back his laughter. It took a while before he collected his expression and looked at the rice bowl in front of him: "Okay, I understand, you guys are here to torment me, I'm still here I haven't finished eating yet."

Yu Wenfei raised his hand, indicating that he would stop talking, and the black girl said: "The **** has a bad belly, Chen Shuai, you can kill him." Xiao Hei said: "I have no objection." Chen Fan smiled over there.

"Then, I understand how dangerous our Long Shaoxia usually receives. He came down from the battlefield and was hunted down by Wenxiu for more than half a year. It's no wonder...he killed him After Wang Nanda, he was chased and killed by Lin Zongwu, and he dealt with it very well. You guys just taught him martial arts to fight, but didn't teach him how to deal with the world, but this is Lao Ning's fault, so let him suffer on his own."

He paused slightly: "Now there are actually two things to think about here. The first one is that the Yan family is not a bad person, and the Yan family castle led by Yan Taiwei is not very powerful, but they have an anti-golden stance. It has always been very clear. Yan Tiehe brought this Yan girl to Jiangning, and all the children in the family were killed. Regarding this matter...Of course it can be said that it is a problem between Li Yanfeng and Shi Baofeng, but in the final analysis, Xiaolong’s In a word, credit is indispensable..."

"...Moreover, one of the more troublesome things here is that, as you have seen today, that Miss Yan doesn't seem to have pure hatred for Xiaolong. In fact, she is most concerned about Xiaolong's safety. This matter , if Lao Ning is here, what will happen? I’m afraid it’s not just a matter of just pushing it away.”

When he said this, the people around were silent for a moment, Qian Luoning said: "This matter, Yan Tiehe, is actually not difficult to appease. When the Yan family first placed a bet, Baofeng wanted to find a way out for the Yan family. Well, since they have good dispositions, it would be a pleasant surprise for us to have a good relationship with him in the Southwest. But the trouble here is Miss Yan and Xiaolong. Yes, but how does Xiaolong feel, we can't find anyone here, so it's hard to express our opinion..."

When it came to the whereabouts of "Xiaolong", everyone looked at each other, but they were speechless. Xiao Hei ate a broad bean: "Why did he run away, Shuai Chen is here...Did you say something you shouldn't have said?"

Yuwen lowered his head and sighed: "What nonsense, whoever has the time to say something to him after chasing Lin Zongwu? According to his fourteen or fifteen-year-old awkwardness, it would be strange if he didn't run away. If he didn't run away, he would still be here tonight." It's not that you villains take turns to tease him and ask him about his experience in making a name for himself in the Jianghu."

The black girl punched Yuwen Fit to show her approval.

The opposite Xiao Qi smiled.

"I see it like this. I didn't expect Miss Yan's affairs at first, so he ran away when he ran away, but now that there is still something to explain, Xiao Hei, Yu Wen...you three will go out and look for him later, Before everyone leaves Jiangning, it is best to have an answer to this matter. We are scheduled to return in the morning the day after tomorrow, in a day's time. We can find him as much as possible. What do you think of Chen Shuai? "

Chen Fan nodded: "I guess he will resist desperately. Since Xiuxiu has experience here, it's better for the three of you to go."

The three got up and accepted the order dumbfounded.

Chen Fan added: "You have to be careful when you strike. He was injured by Lin Zongwu's move. You can beat him half to death."

"yes."

"Then what about the second thing Chen Shuai said just now?" Xiao Qi asked.

"The second thing." Chen Fan laughed, "I was thinking, how are you going to explain this matter to Lao Ning when you go back. In fact, you should all know that Lao Ning... your brother-in-law is very serious about Jianghu after you have been in the southwest for so long. There is still a longing for a career. In the previous martial arts tournament in Chengdu, I set up a trap for the masters from outside. I waited with him in the Moha Pool all night. There is a move that has been useless for a long time. If it continues like this, people in the Jianghu will almost not know his great reputation... That time when he learned that Er Shao had killed more than ten enemies in the yard by himself, he cursed people in his mouth, and in private Some envy."

"This time, Second Young Master caused something to happen and ran away from home. Old Ning must have had bad things to say, but in his heart, he might still feel that this child has inherited his yearning for the world... Look at Second Young Master Along the way, when he was eleven or twelve years old, he already had ambitions for the green forest. He fought wildly in Hedengsan County, and later joined the army and went to the battlefield. As a father, Lao Ning certainly would not want his children An accident happened, but since he couldn't stop it, he has been cultivating this child's ability to resist wind and waves in the Jianghu."

"At the age of fifteen, he traveled three thousand miles to the east. In Tongshan County, he single-handedly tricked hundreds of people from the Li family and the Yan family. When he arrived in Jiangning, he assassinated Wei Yanwen and fought with Li Yanfeng. Killed Wang Nanda in front of Lin Zongwu, was chased all the way by Lin Zongwu, and even ran away. If Lao Ning was here, he would be gratified to hear about these things. But ah..."

Chen Fan knocked on the table: "But... the nickname of this young hero after he became famous all over the world is 'Five Foot Y Demon'...Old Qian, I'm just curious, after you guys talked about these things with Lao Ning, , What kind of reaction will he have... Old Qian, I won't be able to go to the Southwest for a while, or I might as well report this matter for you, so you have to remember when the time comes, hehe, pay attention to his face, I Next time I go there, I have to discuss this matter with him hahahaha..."

When Chen Fan said this, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud. He said the first thing calmly, but when it came to the second thing, he seemed cramped. Qian Luoning didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "You're not afraid to go down and go to Mr. Ning to challenge you one-on-one."

"I'm not afraid, he can serve with watermelon, haha..."

"He hit you in the face with one move..."

Chen Fan, Qian Luoning, and Ning Yi have known each other for a long time, and they used to talk about each other in the same generation. At this time, it is just an anecdote among the big brothers. The two muttered a few words, and it was not easy for others to intervene. After a while, Chen Fan knocked on the table and said, "Oh, there is actually a third thing..."

Everyone looked at him.

"According to what everyone said, our Shaoxia Long was framed by that... what Xiao Er in Zhangcun, and Tongshan County because of his carelessness against the enemy. Because the bad guys splashed dirty water, let's assume that's the case, but...does anyone know who the guy he met on the river today and dragged away?"

"Drag away?" Hei Niu thought for a while, looked at Yuwen Fit, "Is there such a thing?"

Yuwen Fit also thought about it: "The one who punted the boat?"

Among the few people present, only Chen Fan and Yuwen Fit witnessed the scene by the river. At this time, when Chen Fan mentioned the sudden appearance of the character, Yuwen felt a little strange after thinking about it carefully. Qian Luoning frowned at the side: "What are you talking about? That four-foot Y demon?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, Si Chi is that little bald head, he chased and killed Li Yanfeng together with our people at first, and then turned back, just in time to see the scene where Xiaolong killed Wang Nanda, the two of them There was a conversation saying that Lin Zongwu was his master. Later, Lin Zongwu chased and killed Xiaolong all the way. I think Xiaolong's response along the way was remarkable, so the injury was not serious. However, after reaching the river, he jumped into the boat , In fact, I didn’t deal with it well, Lin Zongwu took advantage of the bamboo pole when he was volleying, and seriously injured him.”

Yuwen Feidu thought for a while: "At that time... the few of us had already started to encircle Lin Zongwu. Xiaozhuo was the first to arrive. He set up a gun in the front yard, and I arrived after him. Xiaolong's escape all the way was actually Led Lin Zongwu into the pocket, at that time... if he turned back and rushed into the nearby yard, it should be more reasonable."

Chen Fan said: "He saw the person who was punting the boat, and changed direction. Later, he pulled the boat to the other side, and while we couldn't catch up, he took that person's hand and ran away."

Hei Niu leaned over: "Could it be like that 'Four Foot Y Demon', the new friend Long Shaoxia made in Jiangning?"

Chen Fan smiled: "It's a girl."

"..." The black girl's eyes widened.

"..." Everyone on the side also widened their eyes.

Yuwen Fit thought for a while: "I remember...that man's clothes were ragged, he should...like a young beggar..."

"Regardless of her attire, we didn't take a close look at her at first glance, but then Xiaolong dragged her onto the road, turned around and ran into the alley, I am sure that it is the figure of a girl who has never practiced martial arts. Steps... So think about it, who is this one?"

"Another... another one?"

"Could it be Yu Xiaoer?"

"Is that a coincidence?"

"Xiaolong...isn't that character..."

"When he went out, he threatened Qin Weiwen that he would chop off Yu Xiaoer's head and kick it as a ball..."

"Young people... It's not impossible to know the taste by eating the marrow..."

"I don't think it's such a coincidence..."

"Could it be...he won the title of Wu Chi...and there are other things we don't know..."

"He turned bad?"

"Think about it, he was played by a bad woman like Yu Xiaoer..."

"Don't play with such dirty words..."

"Don't jump to conclusions... calm down."

The fire in the courtyard was still burning, and a great shock enveloped the area under the eaves. Several people at the table were whispering to each other. After a while, Hei Niu suddenly got up from the table: "I have to find him and ask him carefully! Chen Shuai, Qian Dui, then we..."

Qian Luoning looked at her: "Go now?"

"It's about the face of the Huaxia Army, so we can't delay it any longer."

While talking, Xiao Hei and Yu Wen also got up one after another, full of curiosity to find out the truth. Then Xiao Qi also stood up: "The situation in the city is changing rapidly, I will also ask, is there anyone else who can help find some information."

Chen Fan nodded, and when several people left one after another, he picked up the rice bowl beside the table, then laughed, and said to Qian Luoning: "He also said that there is nothing wrong with Xiaoji, look, how nervous it is. "

Qian Luoning also laughed: "There is a difference in age. At the beginning, Mrs. Chan'er and Mr. Ning asked Wen Xiu to take care of Xiaoji. In the past few years, the relationship between siblings is always inevitable. But the matter by the river One step too late, there really is such a girl?"

"The one who punted the boat is indeed, but don't worry too much. In the daytime battle, after Wang Nanda died, Lin Zongwu was a little out of control. His cultivation level is indeed higher than mine. , a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child cannot escape this round of pursuit."

"I think so too." Qian Luoning nodded.

Both of them are warriors of a higher level and have experienced many storms, so they have a simpler and more direct view on Ning Ji's matter. At this time, several young people had already left. After Chen Fan had a few mouthfuls of food, he talked about more complicated topics to Qian Luoning.

"Since this incident, Jiangnan is in chaos, and it will attract the attention of the whole world. When you came out, what happened in the southwest?"

"When I went out, the second meeting was already being prepared. According to the past few rounds of deduction, the first meeting was to set the slogan and the general direction, and the second round meeting was going to be serious. The whole world is staring at Jiangnan Now, Mr. Ning should have passed the land reform resolution, and started to promote the implementation of the land reform plan."

"Really want to start?"

"He is a little hesitant, but it's the same as the hesitation before many major events over the years. He worries too much and is afraid of not being prepared enough. Even if he looks forward ten steps, he can always find the problem he is worried about." Qian Luoning said , "But the more this is the case, the deeper he thinks about this matter... How can he not push forward when he thinks so deeply?"

"Lao Ning really knows something from birth..."

"On the other hand, due to this round of nonsense by the Jiangnan Fair Party, after the massacre-style equalization of wealth, it can be regarded as a round of endorsement for the land reform plan in the Southwest, and the acceptance of all parties may be a little better. Outsiders It is said that He Wen is deeply scheming. This time, he took advantage of the Huaxia Army's east wind to hold the Jiangning Conference and stole our limelight. In fact, why didn't Mr. Ning use them as a stepping stone? If there is no excitement here, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Southwest suddenly proposes land reform, I am afraid that it will immediately face the opposition of the whole world, such as Dai Mengwei and Wu Qimei, I don’t know how many articles will be written suggesting that Southwest will die due to tyranny.”

Talking about this topic, Chen Fan finished his meal, and the two got up and walked slowly along the eaves.

"Lao Ning's land reform, I have talked with me several times. He wants to take all the land back to the country. Anyone who has land in the world may become our enemy." Chen Fan said, "I know that he is with you, with watermelons, and In the deduction with those young students, in your deduction, can all the problems be solved?"

Qian Luoning shook his head: "The deduction can find some problems, but not all the problems. We can consider the solutions to some problems, but whether they can be solved or not depends on the actual work."

"What's the big question? How many people are going to be killed?"

Qian Luoning shook his head again. He was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"...a check on officials."

he said.
