The Eight Winds of Rebirth

After descending Luodong Mountain, crossing several small rivers extending in all directions, and bypassing the long Jianhe, we finally arrived at Tianping County.

Tianping was the largest town that a few people had seen before Luli. Although it was not prosperous, it had all the necessary shops and a small market for bartering, which was convenient for them to do some shopping. Replenishment and rest.

As soon as Zhao Yuan brought Gu Xiangtan to the city, she saw Mou Fei who had left a few days earlier and was waiting here again. Mou Fei nodded to Zhao Yuan and said, "Your subordinate has already brought the message, young master don't worry. "

Gu Xiangtan didn't know what they were talking about, he didn't ask, neither did Zhao Yuan.

After two streets, the carriage stopped in front of a small restaurant on the second floor. When Gu Xiangtan got out of the carriage, he saw a crowd of people inside.

They stood at the door for a while, but no one came to greet them. When they were thinking about whether to change, they suddenly heard a clear female voice shouting in a high-pitched voice: "Hozen bastard, your skin is itchy again, right? I didn't see any guests at the door." Waiting for a long time? The banquet should be over, so be lazy, I will tear your skin!"

As soon as the words fell, a cloud of dust and smoke rushed out from the corner of the kitchen. A servant "whoosh" got in front of Gu Xiangtan and Zhao Yuan, followed by an iron pot with the size of a face, which hit the little boy heavily. At the servant's feet, he rolled all the way with a grunt before barely stopping.

The boy wiped the sweat from his brow, muttered something, and then raised a flattering smile as if changing his face: "You two guest officers, please come in, please come in..."

Su Xi heard the young man scolding a "tiger" in a low voice, he couldn't help laughing, and immediately shut his mouth tightly, not to embarrass his young master.

The servant didn't care, and led a group of people upstairs, saying as he walked, "Hey, that's our lady boss. She has a big temper and is difficult to serve. The guest officials are from other counties, right?" Seeing Zhao Yuan and Gu Xiangtan's clothes, they hurriedly changed their names, "Young masters, don't look at our Tianping land, there are many interesting places, and the food is better than that in Luzhou. The seafood is the most beautiful, you must go well. Let's go around."

"Is the food good in Luzhou?" After sitting down, Gu Xiangtan asked.

The boy wiped the table attentively: "It's not bad, it's not bad, even if it was not good before, it's much better now, but we still need to rely on us to buy and sell goods. To be honest, if Luzhou Pass is not good, so where do we come from, the common people are sharp-eyed."

After the young man finished speaking, he wanted to enthusiastically recommend seafood to them, but Bi Fu blocked them, saying that the two young masters did not eat meat, but only vegetarian.

The boy was not happy anymore, and complained in a low voice that these people looked so glamorous, why are they so stingy, in order to save money, they all found this excuse.

Su Xi raised his eyebrows, before he was about to slap the table and scold him, the proprietress downstairs yelled first: "Hozen bastard, you're making trouble again, don't think about exploiting money to enrich your own pockets, I know, let's see how to deal with you."

The boy stopped immediately, and obediently listened to Zhao Yuan's ordering and serving, and then the oil on the soles of his feet disappeared.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Xiangtan had a smile on his face. He looked at the extra pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and then looked back from the railing. There are snack shops, clothing shops, and medicine shops, and there are fortune-telling, art, and painting stalls along the street. Although they are not as sophisticated as the capital, they are more leisurely and serene. At a glance, you can't see a person in rags.

Gu Xiangtan was sighing, but suddenly heard someone shout: "My purse is gone!"

When she said this, everyone in the small half of the street downstairs was alarmed. It was an old lady who was yelling, touching her waist and abdomen in circles, crying and asking everyone to help find her. The people on the street were also enthusiastic. , busy around the back and forth, but still in vain.

They couldn't see it, but Gu Xiangtan's seat could be seen clearly. As soon as the aunt made a sound, two or three furtive figures would immediately speed up and rush towards the other side, obviously there was a problem.

Gu Xiangtan turned his head to look at Zhao Yuan, and saw that the old god was drinking tea on the ground, and had no intention of interfering at all.

When people are in a foreign land, it is true that more things are worse than less things, and they are such sensitive identities, but for ordinary people, this money may be all their net worth?

So Gu Xiangtan thought about it and was about to speak when he heard the sound of horseshoes from far to near, and then a man and a horse appeared in everyone's field of vision. When he was approaching, the man reined in his horse and stopped abruptly, pulled out a long whip in his hand, jumped over the surging crowd, and went straight towards those guilty people!

That technique was as fast as lightning, hitting those people unprepared, two shadows flew out immediately, and the remaining two people dodged quickly once they regained their senses, their footwork showed a bit of kung fu.

Seeing this, the man on horseback raised his eyebrows slightly, kicked his feet and got up and chased after him. The whip whirled around, rolled up, flung out, and landed on the ground in one go. When he fell, the previous four people curled up on the ground Howled.

But the man didn't even look at the thieves, he looked up at the restaurant, and when he met Zhao Yuan's eyes, he smiled wantonly, stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers.

Ever since the other party appeared, Gu Xiangtan felt Zhao Yuan's strange movement. At this moment, receiving this provocative gesture, the person who had never been as motionless as a mountain jumped up, stepped on the fence, and arrived in front of the person in three or two steps, and then He drew his sword without hesitation!

The other party didn't seem to expect that he would be serious as soon as he came up. He was surprised for a moment, but soon he barely avoided the move, and turned back: "Straight to the point? I like it!"

After saying that, he pulled out a whip with his backhand, and the black whip wrapped around Zhao Yuan's long sword like a spirit snake. Taking advantage of the moment he was trapped, he jumped back to the horse, picked up a long halberd on the horse's back, and directly hit Zhao Yuan. He stopped the silver sword that quickly got rid of the long whip and attacked himself.

The iron objects collided suddenly, and there was a clear and lengthy contention sound in the air.

The other party leaped back and jumped onto the roof of the street. Zhao Yuan immediately followed. In broad daylight, the two fought on the eaves of the most lively long street in Tianping County.

Zhao Yuan was dressed in white, her body was like snow, dancing in the wind, and the person opposite was dressed in black, with dangling skirts, like a windbreaker and leaves, the two of them moved away quickly, a long sword floated in the clouds to startle the dragon, A long halberd is very sharp. Although Gu Xiangtan has seen Zhao Yuan practicing sword many times, he has never really seen him fighting with others, and he is such an uncompromising master. He stood up, staring motionless into the distance, his hands clenched into fists.

After a hundred moves like this, the people on the street also watched intently. Finally, the man in black seemed to have found a loophole in Zhao Yuan. With a sweeping halberd, he only came towards Zhao Yuan, but Zhao Yuan Jumping in the air, dodging the blow and slashing at the opponent's neck, but who knew that the opposite person flew around, and the halberd circled from behind with a strange arc, and also struck Zhao Yuan's face!

At the same time, the two weapons stopped firmly at the other side's vital points, and a single point could kill someone!

The two stared at each other, and for a moment, the man in black put away his halberd, raised his head and laughed hahahaha.

"Yuan'er, I will see you with admiration after three days' farewell."

Zhao Yuan sheathed the long sword, held it in her hand, and nodded to the person opposite.

The two jumped down from the roof and went to the restaurant side by side. After the people on both sides came back to their senses, many people wanted to follow up, but they were quickly stopped by the boy: "Hey, hey, the one who entered our building is You have to pay in silver!"

"Those who came from other counties to steal things, don't let the government take them away, and return the money to their aunts!" At this time, a woman in red came out of the kitchen, and she pointed to the mess outside. The film said, "Whoever broke something during the fight just now, I will find my old lady to pay for it later, what should I do now, let's go!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and cast a coquettish glance at the man in black who entered the shop. , went straight to the kitchen to work.

The man in black only raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word, and went upstairs with Zhao Yuan.

Gu Xiangtan had already stood back at the table, and when he saw them coming, he looked at Zhao Yuan, wanting him to introduce him, but he didn't want the man in black to speak first, with an interesting tone.

"Who is this little brother?" He looked Gu Xiangtan up and down, and asked frivolously.

Gu Xiangtan was also looking at him, so he heard Zhao Yuan say to herself first: "This is my fourth brother."

Gu Xiangtan naturally knew each other. The man in front of him had sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He was handsome and handsome. His face was completely different from Zhao Yuan's. With a pair of twinkling peach blossom eyes, it made the whole person look suave and suave, even more so. Some of the sassy and uninhibited, it is no wonder that the famous ladies in Beijing flock to her, and even the most beautiful woman in the world is willing to be fond of her. This person is one of the four generals of Daye, General Yuguo, who is also Zhao Brother Yuan's - Cao Qin.

Gu Xiangtan smiled and nodded to him: "General Cao, Gu Xiangtan was born later."

Gu Xiangtan actually used modest words to him, which shows his admiration for Cao Qin.

Cao Qin was taken aback. No one knew about the Great Yeling Buddha. Even if he was at the border, it was impossible for him not to have heard of this famous name. He couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, stood up and cupped his fists at Gu Xiangtan.

"Cao Qin has seen Lingfo." Then there was no red tape, and he sat back directly, "Lingfo has good eyesight, so he recognized Cao at a glance?"

Gu Xiangtan smiled and said: "Except for you brothers, I can't think of anyone else who has such a good ability. Moreover, there is only General Cao in the world who can make a green dragon halberd so superb."

Cao Qin laughed out loud, not self-effacing, looked at Zhao Yuan and said, "Sixth brother is also good at skills, on holidays, he will definitely scare the Nanman pawns."

At this moment, the young servant approached with a table full of good wine and dishes, and said shyly, "General, you haven't been here for a long time. Our lady boss made this specially for you. General, please try it." Taste, it's all your favorite food..."

Cao Qin glanced at the delicacies, picked out the wine, took two vegetarian dishes, and asked the servant to send them back.

"Tell her not to be busy, I will leave later."

The boy looked disappointed: "When will the general come again? Our lady boss is looking forward to it day and night..."

Cao Qin gave him a chopstick on the head: "I will come when it is time."

The servant laughed and ran away obediently.

Cao Qin poured a glass of wine and raised it in front of Gu Xiangtan. Gu Xiangtan shook his head, indicating that it was okay.

Cao Qin then asked Zhao Yuan if he wanted it, but Zhao Yuan also shook his head, then picked out the vegetarian dishes on the table, and carefully picked them up for Gu Xiangtan.

Cao Qin glanced between the two of them, squinted his eyes and thought about it, and then smiled wickedly.

"I set off after receiving the news from Mou Fei. I traveled for two days. Fortunately, I didn't miss it." Cao Qin took a sip of his wine.

Zhao Yuan asked, "Is Guanzhong okay?"

Cao Qin said: "Naturally nothing happened. The pawns of the Southern Barbarians have been dealt with in recent years. At least in Luzhou Pass, come and kill one by one." Everyone shines brightly.

Of course, this is by no means empty talk, Gu Xiangtan couldn't help saying: "From the calm weather in Tianping County, we can see that Luzhou Pass has been heavily guarded over the years, and the general's reputation for flying horses is really a blessing for the people on the frontier."

After hearing this, Cao Qin gave him a bright smile.
