[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

Never expect Baigu and Zhanjia brothers to coexist peacefully!

Because of some historical issues left over from their youth, bickering and quarreling have become their instincts. Even in the face of a common enemy, the internal fighting will never stop.The way the three middle-aged uncles get along is like this - Bai Gu speaks provocatively, but is suppressed by the two brothers together, Bai Gu provokes again and is suppressed again, Bai Gu continues to provoke and is suppressed again.

Even though every provocation is suppressed, Bai Gu still enjoys provoking endlessly, and reaches the state of ecstasy in death, and the enemy cannot stop Bai Gu from having a convulsion.Once again the provocation was suppressed, Bai Gu rode backwards on the horse, folded his arms and said angrily: "You two bully more and win less!"

Zhan Qingmang held the compass and muttered something, Zhan Qingfeng pretended to be deaf, and neither of the brothers wanted to talk to Bai Gu.

Fortunately, Bai Gu has long been used to this way of getting along, and he healed himself not long after, riding his horse behind Zhan Qingmang and continuing to provoke. "I said Zhan's second son, does it take so long to find a way? Aren't you a magic stick? Hurry up and do the math, and watch out for Yutang and his daughter-in-law to catch up."

The blue veins on the foreheads of Zhanjia's brothers jumped and jumped at the same time—Zhan's second child?God stick?Daughter-in-law?

There were too many bad things in one sentence, and they didn't know where to start to vomit, so the Zhan brothers continued to remain silent.

Zhan Qingmang lowered his head to look for the way, Zhan Qingfeng looked up to the sky, it was rare for twins with very different personalities to have such a tacit understanding.

After arguing with Bai Gu all the way, dry mouth and exhausted, Zhan Qingfeng is a man of few words, and he has already finished talking for the whole year tonight.Zhan Qingfeng was too lazy to talk to Bai Gu, and he didn't want to talk for the next year...

**********

Although Zhan Qingfeng and Zhan Qingmang are twin brothers, their personalities are two extremes.

Shengun Zhan Qingmang has been restless since he was a child, inspired to travel all over the three rivers and five mountains to subdue demons, and started to travel far away from home when he was a teenager, wandering outside for most of the year.Contrary to his younger brother, the blacksmith Zhan Qingfeng has been taciturn since he was a child, and he is more ladylike than a lady. He likes to forge weapons at home. There are only three things that cannot be shaken every day-eating, sleeping, and swinging a hammer.

Unlike the low-key Zhan family brothers, even Zhan Qingfeng, who doesn't leave home, has heard of Baigu's name.

There are mainly two types of evaluations of Bai Gu by people in the Jianghu - people who like Bai Gu say that he is mysterious and handsome, young and rich, and talented.Those who hate Baigu say that he is both good and evil, arrogant and arrogant.Compared with Bai Yutang, who has a lazy personality and loves to sleep in, Bai Gu is more unwilling to be lonely. He likes to find trouble when there is nothing to do. No wind can set off three-foot waves, disturbing the entire martial arts world.

With exactly the same face, Bai Gu was a hundred times more arrogant than Bai Yutang when he was young!

Fortunately, Bai Gu and Bai Yutang were also afraid of trouble. Bai Gu had been wearing a silver half-face mask back then, and only took it off in front of acquaintances.Otherwise, with that iconic face, Bai Yutang wouldn't even try to hide his background, anyone who knew Baigu would recognize Bai Yutang at a glance.

Not only did Bai Gu have many friends, enemies, and lovers, but as many people cursed him and hated him, as many people missed him and fell in love with him.But Bai Gu doesn't love anyone, he is like a spoiled brat, he picks quarrels and troubles just for entertainment, and occasionally does some small bad things to attract others' attention, in fact Bai Gu is very afraid of loneliness, he just wants someone to play with him.

So Zhan Qingfeng still can't figure it out, how could Baigu, who loves freedom and freedom the most, be willing to be trapped in the desolate and lonely Baigu Mountain for more than 20 years?There is no cage in Baigu Mountain, and there is no cage in the world that can trap Baigu. It is himself who traps him...

The culprit is the person I want to meet today, Liu Xun.

More than 20 years ago, Zhan Qingmang, who was traveling abroad, was bullied by Bai Gu. In order to avenge his younger brother, Zhan Qingfeng picked up a weapon and confronted Bai Gu for a one-on-one fight. Later, the one-on-one fight turned into a group fight, and the group fight turned into a chaos in the entire martial arts world. At that time, Bai Gu and Liu Xun were inseparable.

The twins have a tacit understanding than ordinary people, and the brothers on their side work together to cut money.The rare thing is that Bai Gu and Liu Xun also have a tacit understanding, they understand each other without talking.Two-on-two fights come and go, each wins and loses, and the noisy days pass quickly every day.

The four of them couldn't tell whether they were enemies or friends, and they obviously had no major enmity, but they always saw each other as disliked, and would fight if they disagreed.

On the other hand, Baigu is thick-skinned and familiar with himself, and often comes to Zhanfu uninvited to grab a meal.Every time Baigu came to Cengfan, he had to wait for his family to bring his mouth.The ghosts in Baigu Mountain are noisy and noisy, Zhan Qingfeng can't concentrate on forging iron, and Zhan Qingmang can't quietly watch the stars at night.The two brothers wanted to drive away the scourge of Baigu, but the brothers of the Zhan family were usually unrestrained and carefree, and had no right to speak at home at critical moments...

The Zhan family's father is obsessed with martial arts, and like the two sons, he doesn't care about common things, and Mrs. Zhan's inner house covers the sky with one hand.Bai Gu's ability to coax women is unrivaled, ranging from 99 to just walking, as long as it's a woman, he can't handle it without him!Mrs. Zhan was coaxed by Bai Gu so happily that she wished she could cut the wooden twins into doorposts and treat Bai Gu as her own son.

The old lady of the Zhan family was also a protectionist, but every time she helped Bai Gu to sideline, Zhan Qingfeng and Zhan Qingmang lost consecutively, so they could only hold their noses and bear it.Add more than [-] pairs of chopsticks if you are overwhelmed!Anyway, Zhan's family has a big business, and the whole family, young and old, can't lose their fortunes together.

At that time, they were young and energetic, and the four of them refused to obey each other. They wanted to compete for strengths and weaknesses in everything. Even if they ate a bowl of rice more than the other party, it was a big victory.Until the oldest Zhan Qingfeng was about to get married, Bai Gu finally had some good eyesight. Seeing that Zhan's mansion was in a hurry, he didn't want to continue to make trouble, so he took Liu Xun and the ghosts of Baigu Mountain away on his own initiative. Harm) visit (other) (friend).

Before leaving, the four agreed that Bai Gu and Liu Xun would come back to help on the day of the wedding.Hearing that the bride is a descendant of the royal chef Li's family, Bai Gu put his shoulders on Zhan Qingfeng's shoulder and teased, "When I find a few jars of fine wine, I will definitely invite my sister-in-law to cook. Don't feel bad!"

Zhan Qingfeng's face darkened, "Roll, I'm upset when I see you."

Bai Gu rolled away with a smile, no one thought that when he rolled away, there was no news, not even the Zhan family's parents died.

Before she died, the old lady Zhan still couldn't forget, "You little heartless, don't come back to see me."

For so many years, there is no news about Baigu's life or death, and the brothers of the Zhan family have never given up looking for him.It wasn't until the fledgling Zhan Zhao was tied up by the ghosts of Baigu Mountain that Zhan Qingfeng got the news of Baigu.The brothers of the Zhan family never dreamed that Baigu, who used to be the most lively and most afraid of loneliness, had actually stayed in the remote mountains and old forests for more than 20 years...

So Bai Gu felt familiar when he first saw Zhan Zhao, that face was clearly Zhan Qingfeng's when he was young.

So Zhan Qingfeng and Zhan Qingmang went to Baigu Mountain, and the ghosts of Baigu Mountain immediately recognized them and shouted, "Boss Zhan and Lao Er Zhan have gone berserk!"

So the Zhan brothers bravely rushed into the tiger's lair regardless of the consequences, beat all the ghosts in Baigu Mountain crying for their father and mother, and even teamed up to beat Baigu fatly.Being so arrogant on other people's territory, he can still retreat unscathed.Bai Gu is not a good tempered person, if he didn't feel guilty, how could he not fight back after being beaten.

When we met again, Liu Xun was gone by Bai Gu's side, and even Bai Gu was not the same Bai Gu as before.

Bai Gu, who was alive and kicking, became quiet, silent, and unpredictable.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao left Baigu Mountain one after another, and the Zhan family brothers returned again. The three of them reunited after more than 20 years.Zhan Qingfeng is already a "grandfather", and Zhan Qingmang has also grown from a "little god stick" to an "old god stick". Only Bai Gu doesn't seem to have changed at all, and he still looks young and handsome when we first met.However, the things that settled in the eyes left traces of time after all...

Even if you keep your ageless face, you can't keep your young heart.

Bai Gu didn't want to mention the events of the year, and tried to get away with it by making jokes, and refused to leave Baigu Mountain no matter what.In the end, Zhan Qingfeng only forced to ask—the reason was Liu Xun. Bai Gu and Liu Xun made a [promise] that they would never step out of Baigu Mountain or contact anyone proactively.

Zhan Qingfeng sighed.Bai Gu is still keen on [provocation] at a young age, and has been defeated and defeated repeatedly. Is he unwilling to win the round, or is he unwilling to give up and wait for Liu Xun to come back?Isn't it enough to wait 20 years?How many 20 years can a person have in this life?

For 20 years, spend the best 20 years of your life guarding a barren mountain?

But it doesn't matter anymore, the moment Baigu walked out of Baigu Mountain, the cage has been torn apart, the promise is no longer important, and the long wait no longer needs results.Zhan Qingfeng was immersed in memories, and a familiar voice echoed in his ears - "Long time no see, old friend."

On a windless night, the leaves were rustling. The sound came from internal force, and the familiar voice was indeed Liu Xun.

**********

The moment he saw Liu Xun, Zhan Qingfeng hardly dared to recognize him.

The four are about the same age, the Zhan family twins are a year older, followed by Liu Xun, and Bai Gu is the youngest.

Now everyone's actual age is in their 40s. If Bai Gu is a monster who is always 20 years old, the Zhan brothers are normal people in their 30s who grow slowly, and Liu Xun is simply aging rapidly on the hot wheels. People in their 40s, with a haggard face and weathered temples, are at least 60 years old just by looking at their faces. It is hard to believe that Liu Xun and them are the same age.

Seeing the surprised gazes of the three, Liu Xun stroked the white hair on his temples and smiled wryly, "Retribution..."

Bai Gu said lightly: "You don't believe in retribution, don't you?"

Liu Xun sat on the rattan chair and looked up at Baigu standing under the moon. He seemed to have been looking up at this person all his life, except that time, he thought he had won, but what happened now?The person who should have been in a state of desperation is still the same as he was back then.The person who was supposed to have the last laugh was completely unrecognizable.

Liu Xun sighed: "Look at you, then look at myself, isn't it retribution?"

Times have changed, and the arrogant young man who laughed at fate and didn't believe in the retribution of heaven has already tasted enough of the feeling of powerlessness.

Zhan Qingfeng was impatient to listen to the two of them playing riddles, "What happened back then."

"This story is very long, why don't you sit down and tell it slowly." Liu Xun said to Bai Gu, "I've been in poor health for the past few years. The doctor won't let me drink alcohol, so you can drink tea with me as the Romans do." Several boys served Scented tea, Liu Xun raised his voice and said, "You guys also come down and sit down. It's cold in the mountains at night. Squat on a tree to drink the cold wind. Why don't you come to me for a cup of hot tea."

Zhan Qingfeng stared helplessly at the canopy of the tree, stalking and eavesdropping, eavesdropping and eavesdropping, can you keep a low profile?There was such a loud noise, it was impossible to pretend not to hear it.Zhan Qingfeng glared at Bai Gu - it's all your fault for messing around, it'll be fine if you bring them here in the first place!

The tree shadows in the distance swayed and swayed, Zhan Zhao jumped down with Zhao Zhen in his arms, and Bai Yutang jumped down with a knife and a sword.The three of them did not feel guilty about being discovered after eavesdropping, and were more confident than the person involved. Bai Yutang whistled, and two horses, one red and one white, galloped towards them.Zhan Zhao put Zhao Zhen down and patted the two horses, and let them walk freely without the reins.

Zhan Zhao walked into the small courtyard, and immediately grabbed Zhan Qingmang to confirm, "Second Uncle, you said that Zhao Zhen'going to the sky and entering the earth will cause bloody disasters' is a lie, right? It's okay to climb a tree so high just now." Zhao Zhen nodded along. In order to confirm the authenticity, he asked Zhan Zhao to climb higher.

Zhan Qingmang blinked, "Going up a tree is not going to heaven, I can't make a mistake."

Zhao Zhen murmured to Bai Yutang in a low voice, "The more you listen, the more it sounds like a charlatan's trick of blocking both ends of his speech."

Zhan Qingfeng's face darkened, "You are an adult and still climb trees, so you can't keep your focus."

Zhan Zhao is not afraid of him, "How old are you, you don't sleep well in the middle of the night, what are you doing in the deep mountains and old forests!"

Zhan Qingfeng was so blocked by his youngest son that he drank tea with a dark face.

**********

Bai Gu only likes good wine, and has no interest in tea. Bai Gu is a good-looking person, and any tea he drinks is a cow's drink.Holding hot tea to warm his hands, Bai Gu told everyone the story that he had told Zhao Zhen about Taizong's revenge and the nameless small country in the desert.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide, "The descendants of the nameless country are the ghosts of Baigu Mountain?"

Bai Gu said indifferently: "After all, it's hard to leave the homeland. The king spent all his time talking and talking, but he only took away some of the people who were willing to follow him. The rest who didn't want to leave were later captured by Zhao Guangyi. Liu Xun was the one who stayed behind at that time. the descendants of the people below."

"Do you know what hell on earth is?" Liu Xun's tone was a little gloomy. "The captured citizens, as long as they are attractive, are used as military skills, regardless of gender. The old and weak are all shot to death on the spot. The citizens who are dying I regret it all the time, if I had believed in the lord at the beginning and followed the lord to leave the desert, maybe I could have avoided this cruel fate."

"At first I regretted it, but gradually I began to resent it, the lord, Zhao Guangyi, and every Song person..." Liu Xun showed a self-deprecating sneer on his face, "My mother told me everything from childhood. When I grow up, I must take revenge. Kill every Song person, and use the blood of Song people to wash away this shame. The ridiculous thing is that I am also half a Song person, and there are too many men who have slept with my mother, and I don’t even know who my biological father is.”

Bai Gu said frankly: "I don't know what those captives have experienced, and I am not qualified to persuade them to put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas immediately. Liu Xun met me by chance. He was out of his mind at that time, thinking about it all day How to kill all Song people, how to make people lose their lives and so on."

Bai Gu shrugged, "The chief culprit, Zhao Guangyi, is dead. I don't like the idea of ​​paying the father's debts, and now the world is stable, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If there is another war due to selfish desires, the people will always suffer."

Zhao Xiaozhen slapped his hands vigorously, "Uncle knows the general idea! Like it!"

Bai Gu pointed to Liu Xun, "I see that he is a man to be made, but I am afraid that he will go astray, so I can only stare at him inseparably."

Liu Xun smiled slightly, "But you still haven't watched it."

Liu Xun was smiling for a while, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, that smile was like a human skin mask, with an indelible hypocrisy.

Bai Gu sighed, "During the time we stayed at Zhan's house, Liu Xun performed perfectly. I let down my guard against him. On the third day after we left Zhan's house, Liu Xun quietly escaped." Bai Gu shook Shaking his head, he seemed regretful. "Liu Xun sneaked into the palace without making a sound, and almost killed Zhao Heng. Fortunately, I arrived in time, so that no catastrophe occurred."

Zhao Zhen said, "Is that what Fuquan said?"

Bai Gu nodded, "I brought Liu Xun back. He was very emotional and destroyed everything in front of him like a lunatic. I had no choice but to take Liu Xun back to Baigu Mountain and imprison him in an underground cell. I wanted to wait for him Calm down and have a good talk."

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "And then, he ran away again?" It's not like Bai Gu's character to fall twice in the same place.

Bai Gu said easily: "I didn't expect him to be so mad that he attracted outsiders to set fire to the mountain. If it wasn't for the heavy rain that day, your father and I would have been burned to ashes." There is no difference at all."

"And then." Zhan Zhao urged.

Bai Gu shook his head, "The person he colluded with is so powerful that he can even mobilize troops and firearms. I have carefully investigated that person later, and he is the secret guard you want now." Bai Gu said with regret: "If only I am alone Of course, I can retreat completely, but I can't guarantee that the ghosts of Baigu Mountain can also retreat completely. So I made a gentleman's agreement with Liu Xun. If I don't leave Baigu Mountain, Liu Xun can't kill people. I will never leave Baigu Mountain for the rest of my life. Liu Xun will not be able to kill anyone for the rest of his life."

"Wait!" Zhao Zhen interrupted, "Aren't you at a disadvantage, why should you negotiate with others?"

"Who said I was at a disadvantage?" Bai Gu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not easy to bully, I led people to rob their treasury, I heard it was originally used to start a rebellion, anyway, I smuggled it back to the cave. If I don't leave Baigu Mountain, they won't be able to get back the gold, silver and jewels!"

Liu Xun frowned, "I'm also curious, how did you come out, those things..."

Zhao Zhen raised his paw, "Those things are lying in the treasury!"

Bai Gu smiled smugly, Zhao Xiaozhen also smiled smugly, two smiling foxes, one big and one small, hooted smugly.

Everyone was speechless, "When did you two collude together?"

Zhao Xiaozhen thought for a while, "It seems that when you first came to Beijing, my uncle sat on my bedside in the middle of the night, scaring me." Bai Gu brought Zhao Zhen over and squeezed his face, "That's right, and then we two Working together as traitors, coughing and coughing together, smuggling things into the treasury bit by bit."

Bai Gu felt relaxed, "It's not good to have too much money, now I don't have any money and I feel light."

Zhao Xiaozhen smiled, "Everything needs money for spring planting and autumn harvest. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable. The dams should be repaired, armaments should be replaced, and earthquake donations should be donated. I'm short of money recently! It's a pity that such a large amount of money is used for rebellion. It’s better to do more good things that benefit the country and the people. I heard that you gangsters like to keep a low profile, so I donated directly in my own name, so don’t be too grateful to me.”

Liu Xun chuckled, "I heard that the emperor is smart, why don't you guess if you can leave alive tonight."

Liu Xun added, "Don't thank me too much."
