If Huaijing is the place of imperial power, then Ziyu is the gate of the world.

Because it is surrounded by dangers and enjoys a safe land alone, for thousands of years, a city has been built on the road that important sects of the rivers and lakes must pass.

Although there is no martial arts alliance in Jianghu, all the major sects in the city have forces here, check and balance each other, and form their own rules.The jurisdiction of the imperial court can hardly reach here, but the little gangsters rarely dare to provoke, which is more peaceful than any city on the surface.

The city is almost used as a station, and the passers-by are all heroes, talents and beauties. Over time, it has become the number one romantic city in the world.

At this time, the lights of thousands of houses are just the time for the scholars who are rushing into the city to rest, the streets are brightly lit, and the teahouses and pubs are noisy.

In the long run, there will be countless upside-down nights in singing and dancing, tea and wine, and countless passers-by who have dreams that I don't know.

As many streets as there are here, so many meridians are imprinted on the land like palm prints, and as many people come and go, so many ideas, pride or disputes between right and wrong are brought, and the palm prints are branded deeper and deeper.

Both sides of the road are full of chatter and frolicking, attracting the eyes of passers-by on the road, dragging their steps and staying behind when they want to leave.

There was only a tall and straight young man wearing a bamboo hat, who was dusty and dusty. His neck was like a bamboo that had been pulled from the ground, and any movement around him had no effect on him.

He was walking with a horse, and he had to walk slowly to get here, after all, the city couldn't afford the dust.

The simple and shabby clothes and the dirty and dirty face made others less explore him because of his insignificant status.

But there are also reckless people who offend his tranquility.

"Be careful." He supported a little girl who had bumped into him, and then smiled reassuringly, and the little girl was torn away.

"Don't run, watch your way..." Although the parent scolded the beggar was not the beggar, the one who cast the beggar's eyes was not friendly, and even stared a few times when he walked away.

The little girl opened her round eyes and turned her head curiously.

After such a delay, he actually stopped in front of a teahouse with few people. He looked up subconsciously, and there were three big characters carved on the wooden screen: Zijiangzhu.

These three words remind people of a person.

At this time, when the man spoke, his proud eyes seemed to be right in front of his eyes, and an unspeakable heart surge surged into his chest, bubbling with heat.

Ah Po thought about it, and suddenly laughed at himself: On this river and lake road, it seems that there are too many things that remind him of that name and that person's appearance.

Just took God back, and was about to continue on his way, but Zijiang Zhuli happened to be talking about it.

"It's hard to tell whether what Lao Er Fanjiu said is true or not..."

"That's right, when it comes to the old man of rice and wine, we have to study whether it's true or not, so let's not mention it."

Ah Po didn't seem to know whether to turn back or continue forward, the spine of his neck was stiff and motionless.However, after hesitating for a moment, he sighed resignedly, and turned his head to look over there.

But the tea guests at that table had come to an end with the topic of rice and wine, and they talked about other things again and again.

"There is a disciple named Lie Baixi in Yanyun Village. When he was captured by Xiangshui Palace last time, there was an uproar. A few days ago, I was fortunate to meet the young lady of the Lie family, Nalie Baixi, and Nalie Baixi. Greetings, at this moment, the young man's face is full of shame..."

The two laughed loudly, and the other said: "As a rookie in the Jianghu, Lie Baixi has become famous in the Jianghu because of the old grievances of Yanyunzhuang, but others are all because of shock, so he... ····This young hero? You······"

The beggar in the bamboo hat who approached the two of them took out a few pieces of silver from his body and put them on the table. He smiled but did not have the slightest intention to offend: "What is the old man Fanjiu talking about? Please both of you Tell me next."

As he spoke, he sat aside and listened attentively: "Excuse me."

The two tea drinkers looked at each other, it was normal to ask for news and give some favors, but they had never been given money by this beggar.

It's strange to see it today.

There is a corner of the purple field, called the mean alley, which is located in a remote place, and it is the gray corner of the purple field.

The old house in the east is still good, and it is a good place for most beggars to rest.The old house in the west corner is in ruins and crumbling.

People in the purple area usually put here the bulky things that are not used for the time being, and then pile up the items that are left alone. Over time, this West Back Alley has become a dead corner with all the supplies but lifeless.

But very few people know that these leaky and dangerous buildings are nothing but illusions.

In the dark, a group of thieves are living in secret.

Even under the bright moonlight, because there are very few lights in the dead of night, it is still dead.

A dilapidated cabinet on the top was leaning against a broken wall, and there was a slight noise inside.

Suddenly a child appeared in the cabinet and said in a waxy voice, "Aze..."

"Hush—" There was another person.

The cabinet shook again, and the first child couldn't stop moving: "Ah Ze, what are we doing here?"

"Wait for Ah Po." Aze turned his head sideways, looked at the red dots on Xiao Bao's face, and said, "Xiao Bao, if you are bitten by a bug, you should go back first."

"I'm not going back, I want to be with Ah Ze." The little bag said, and asked curiously, "Why are you waiting for Ah Po? Ah Po will come? Didn't Sister Xiaoru say that Ah Po is busy and won't come?" What..."

"Yeah." This Aze looked more thoughtful, but he didn't know how to explain it to the younger child, so he could only say: "There is an unexpected visitor in the room over there, you have to tell Apo in advance."

Xiaobao thought for a while: "That person is not an uninvited guest, we have seen that person before..."

"Be careful!" Suddenly there was a loud noise from the cabinet, and Aze hugged Xiaobao in his arms.

The cabinet door opened wide with a "squeak", and sawdust fell from their heads. The two had to close their eyes to prevent the sawdust from flying into their eyes.

Feeling Xiaobao trembling in fear, Aze carefully opened his eyes.

Rotten sawdust fluttered like snowflakes under the moonlight. A boy in plain clothes with dark patterns was only seventeen or eighteen years old, standing in front of him holding a sword.

"Ah Ze, you have seen me before, and you still treat me as an unexpected guest. I am really sad." The young man smiled, his whole body seemed to melt into the moonlight.

"Go back quickly." The man raised his sword and pointed at Aze who was looking directly at him, "If you don't go back to sleep, sister Xiaoru will be angry."

There was no fear in Aze's eyes until Qiu Lingfu turned the tip of his hand and pointed at Xiao Bao.

Xiaobao huddled in Aze's arms, not knowing the danger that the sword pointed at him meant: "Isn't sister Xiaoru asleep? She didn't know we came out..."

Aze endured it, but still took the small bag and left: "Let's go."

When passing by Qiu Lingfu, Qiu Lingfu saw Xiaobao's cuteness, and was about to touch Xiaobao's head, but Aze slapped him away before his hand came close.

Qiu Lingfu's light-colored eyes looked at the child Aze's, as clear as the Lingxi under the moon, but he was triumphant, and he didn't know what he was happy about.

The two walked for a while, but Xiaobao suddenly jumped far away from Aze.

"how······"

"Bug! What a big bug!" Xiaobao covered his mouth in horror.

"Where is it?" Aze hurriedly checked himself.

"Hands! Hands!"

Xiao Bao yelled, and took a few steps back, then Aze subconsciously wanted to hold Xiao Bao, but Xiao Bao saw the bug approaching and was frightened and ran away all of a sudden.

"I, I'm going first, Aze!" Xiao Bao's two skinny legs ran fast, "I'm not afraid of bugs! I'm just... Anyway, I'm going first!"

"Xiaobao!" Aze followed for a few steps, frantically flicking away the bugs on his hands.

"Hahahaha!" Strands of half-draped hair were scattered on the plain shirt, and there was no dignified posture at all, just like a scoundrel wrapped in a well-dressed hat.

These low and hateful games always make Qiu Lingfu laugh.

Xiao Bao was timid, and Qiu Lingfu was supposed to be placed on Xiao Bao at first.Ze understood this immediately.

But I'm small and not very good at martial arts, let's not talk about how childish it is to hold grudges because of such trivial things, if I really fight, I won't be able to fight.

So he had no choice but to endure it, glared at Qiu Lingfu, and ran towards Xiaobao.

Qiu Lingfu wasn't angry at this look, but was happy with it, enjoying the malicious pleasure of playing with others.

Both of them had disappeared, thinking about the frightened and resentful look of the two children, I couldn't help but giggled a few times.

With the cool wind blowing behind him, Qiu Lingfu's voice stopped abruptly.His back seemed to be pulled by a thread, and his whole body and heart hung up.

Concentrated, he raised his sword, and turned his head vigilantly and carefully.Even breathing is suppressed, as if facing a surprise kiss or sword.

There is no blade or sword intent behind him, no secret murderous intent.There was only a glimpse of a slender figure, standing in the empty dark street, like a tall and straight stone statue carefully carved.Even if only the slashed chin under the brim of the hat and the corner of the raised mouth are exposed, Qiu Lingfu can tell who it is.

The man took off the bamboo hat on his head, and a pair of smiling eyes leaked out. They were bright and vivid under the moonlight, staring at Qiu Lingfu directly and accurately.

"Are you looking for me?" His hair fluttered gently in the cool breeze, and his whole body looked lazy and idle, as if he happened to meet this person here after a walk.

Qiu Lingfu stared at him, motionless, but the hand holding the soft sword was sweating.

A Poyan took it back from Qiu Lingfu's hand, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the city knows that the old man Fanjiu started talking about the rookies in the Huachaohui. My son's favor... Suxin Pai's bodyguard for young master Qiu? Ah Po doesn't dare to take this role."

Ah Po walked step by step, as natural as a reunion between friends after a long absence.Qiu Lingfu actually wanted to run away, but he held back after all, staring at the man without moving.

"Are you afraid of me?" Ah Po had sensed Qiu Lingfu's thoughts a long time ago, and laughed out loud, "Then why do you still pretend to be mysterious, attract my attention as an old man with rice and wine, and then lure me to look for it?" you?"

As she spoke, she comforted softly, teasingly: "Don't be afraid, I should be afraid of you, at least I won't poison you, and I won't design you..."

Qiu Lingfu pretended to be relaxed: "Then why are you still here? I'm here to poison you."

"Then why did you know I would come? The senior sister should have told you that I have something urgent to do." Ah Po stopped in front of him, looked at him with a smile on his face, and asked himself, "Because you know that I always play tricks on you, I will never let go of the opportunity to see you and get close to you, right? Even if you want to drive me away countless times...you understand this very well in your heart."

Ah Po's smile is raised from the heart, and he is always sincere, which can be seen by the side eye, but Qiu Lingfu is always uncomfortable.

"Don't say such disgusting things to me." Qiu Lingfu muttered, seeing that his face was blushing and his heart was not beating.

He has already found a way to deal with such ambiguity, so what expression and words should he make at this moment, so that he can appear cold-hearted, he knows clearly: "I'm looking for you, you have to do it if you want, and you don't want to do it gotta do it."

Hearing this, Ah Po was amused by the unreasonableness: "Then let me tell you, I don't want to do it. I'm not looking for you for your business."

Qiu Lingfu's expression froze: "You..."

A Po stared at Qiu Lingfu's clear and ruthless eyes, and said scary words in a normal tone: "I want to kiss you, I have wanted to kiss you since I heard your name, so I set off immediately. I never kissed you." I've been enduring hearing your voice talking to Aze Xiaobao... Now, I can't help it anymore."
