Suya

The smoke leaves the Polygonum, and the flying dust makes jade.The land is thousands of miles away from the country, the Jianghuai water network is like weaving, and the lakes are dotted. The Lebi River and the Minjiang River rush down from north to south, and the Xuanyan River runs through the east. extreme.

Surrounded by mountains and surrounded by water, Liguo is surrounded by mountains and rivers. In the early spring, it is even more empty, green and misty, and the scenery is hazy with mist and rain. It is as beautiful as a fairyland.

At this time, when the sun was rising in the east, the Chu Pavilion and Qin Tower along the river were all bathed in misty rain. Under the dim light, the Zhu households were covered, the embroidered curtains hung down, and the water in the Quyuan flowed and the flowers faded.

On the tall building, through the heavy bead curtains, one can vaguely see the singing girl dancing her sleeves and singing in a low voice, and several romantic talents at the table are having a good time drinking and talking, with a little tiredness and satisfaction after a night of fun on their faces.

The singer's temples are like clouds, her waist is like willows, her dancing sleeves are often covered with snow, and her singing sounds like dust.

"Liguo is such a good place, even the singing girl is very similar to the singing girl." Feng Chen looked at the singing girl not far away and said with emotion: "Now I know why the country's country name is 'Li'."

"Why?" The innocent little brother Feng Xiao raised his immature face and asked Feng Chen seriously.

Liar Feng grinned and said, "Do you know what 'harmony and separation' is? It refers to the harmonious divorce of husband and wife. Look at the women who leave the country." He raised his head and raised his chin to the woman who was washing clothes by the stream , and continued: "Pretty as a peach in three springs, clear as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns, in such a country full of beauties like clouds, who can live among thousands of flowers without a single leaf getting on their body? What about after getting it? Naturally, we can only go home and leave. Do you understand why this place is called 'Liguo' now?"

Feng Xiao looked at him for a while, lowered his head silently, and gnawed on the bun in his hand without making a sound. The facial muscles of the accompanying soldiers behind them twitched collectively, and then they raised their heads neatly to look at the sky.

Feng Chen enjoyed himself, hugged the long sword to his chest, and looked at the passers-by with great interest.

Liguo is an island country surrounded by water and far away from the Central Plains. Its customs, etiquette and education are very different from the Central Plains.

It seems that because of this unique geographical environment, Liguo is always like a paradise, and everywhere shows a peaceful and peaceful posture far away from disputes.

People who leave the country believe in the gods of their own country, meditate and worship every day, and their hearts are as calm as water, and they all look like masters who transcend the world.

The women who leave the country are gentle and charming, and the men who leave the country... are also very gentle.

Feng Chen narrowed his eyes comfortably in the pleasant breeze, twisted his neck, and said at the same time: "I originally thought that the national teacher looked like a woman, but now comparing him with the man who left the country, I think he is just like a woman." A man's man."

Feng Xiao gnawed the bun in his hand in three mouthfuls, smacked his lips and said, "Liguo people are really gentle, and all men in the Central Plains are lucky to marry Liguo women."

A soldier in a suit bit a reed pole, and continued: "Feng Guo is a martial artist, no matter old or young, women and children can ride horses and shoot arrows. Bring women from Feng Guo here so that they can be used as men."

"Feng Guo's women are really tough." Feng Xiao answered with a smile on his face, then turned his head and began to eat candied haws.

Feng Chen glanced at him, waved for a soldier, asked him to buy a bag of glutinous rice candy from a small shop on the street, and handed it to Feng Xiao.

A group of people ate and watched, walked and stopped, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the city before Sishi.

The country is beautiful and the city is also beautiful. The city is prosperous and the suburbs are quiet. Looking around at this time, you can see green water surrounding the green hills, windmills whirling around, and the fragrance of flowers wafting.

In this dreamlike scene, Feng Chen kicked a chicken away, beat two dogs away, scared and cried three children, and finally stretched out his long legs, stepped into a bamboo house, and the rest caught the chicken, After recovering the dog and comforting the child, he ran over panting.

The fragrance of flowers outside the bamboo house is pleasant, and the wine flag is fluttering, but the atmosphere inside the bamboo house is a bit weird.

At this time, there were about ten people sitting in the bamboo house. Everyone went about their business as usual, eating, drinking, and talking. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but some people always looked at Feng Chen seemingly Floating on the body, it was like wild beasts in the jungle suddenly meeting each other, tempting each other with some curiosity, but also some fear and hostility.

Feng Chen carefully watched the arms and movements of these people, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.

Feng Xiao looked in over Feng Chen's shoulder, and after looking for a while, his eyes flashed, and he silently shrank behind Feng Chen, letting the other's back cover his face.

Xiaoer came up with a smile, put the white cloth on his shoulders, bent his waist, stretched out his hands, and said loudly: "Masters, please~"

Feng Chen sized him up and walked in the direction he pointed.

Feng Xiao took a plate of peanuts from Xiaoshou's second hand, and rushed upstairs in a hurry.

Feng Chen pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and walked upstairs step by step. When he was about to reach the second floor, he lowered his head slightly, and glanced at the people downstairs, and found that several people's eyes had been following him. The eyes of the person dressed as a swordsman are even more meaningful.

After being seated, Feng Xiao began to order dishes excitedly, Bazhen tofu, oily dumplings, sea bass in sauce, seven fresh soup...Lingling always ordered more than a dozen dishes, which attracted the attention of all the nearby guests.Xiao Er became a flower in joy, and called out "Young Master" and "Master" again, making Feng Chen's hair stand on end.

After Xiao Er left, Feng Chen shook the goose bumps on his body, and said with emotion: "It seems that I didn't die in battle in my life, but I was disgusted to death."

Feng Xiao laughed, threw a peanut into his mouth, ate it with relish, Feng Chen also threw a peanut into his mouth, and immediately spat it out with a frown, Feng Xiao looked at the peanuts on the ground, regretfully Straight sigh.

Dishes were brought up one after another, Feng Xiao and the other three soldiers looked at the big table full of delicacies, they couldn't help but shine their eyes, and they ate with relish.

Feng Chen lost his appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after two mouthfuls, fell into the chair, and stared at Feng Xiao opposite.Feng Xiao was enjoying his meal, his mouth was full of chicken and duck, and he was still holding a snail in his hand. He suddenly shuddered, raised his head, and saw Feng Chen staring at him, with tears in his mournful eyes Guang: "Grandpa, why do you keep staring at me..."

"You just eat and don't talk to me."

"But... you're looking at me..."

Feng Chen impatiently kicked him under the table: "Why, I can't watch it yet?"

Feng Xiao's expression became more and more sad: "No...you can continue to watch if you want to..."

Feng Chen looked at him for a while, leaned closer and lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think the group of people downstairs don't look like Li Guo people?"

Feng Xiao paused for a moment, then took a bite of the chicken leg and shook his head vigorously.

With a pained expression on Feng Chen's face, he reached out and snatched the chicken leg from Feng Xiao's hand, threw it on the plate, then kicked him hard, grinning and said: "I know how to eat, I really should keep you in the pigsty inside."

Feng Xiao was stunned for a moment, stopped eating, pouted his mouth, lowered his head, and looked at the ground with aggrieved eyes. There were already many people around who were looking this way, but at this moment, some people started talking in low voices.Feng Chen's ears are good, even though the discussants deliberately lowered their voices, he still had a rough idea of ​​the content of the conversation.

At the table near the door, someone asked: "Who is that tall man? He doesn't treat others as human beings, and doesn't even allow him to eat properly."

A strong man said: "I guess, the tall one is the young master of the rich family, and the short one is his."

Others asked: "Which one?"

"This." The strong man raised his little finger with a deep smile on his face.

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped.

A white-clothed scholar said: "I don't think the tall one looks like a young master, he has the air of a hooligan, but the short one looks like a son of a family."

Everyone said: "No way, how could the young master let the servants bully him?!"

"You don't understand." A woman in red said, "I think the short one is indeed the young master, and the tall one is his."

Everyone looked surprised and asked again and again.

The woman in red took a sip of her tea triumphantly, and said slowly: "The current world is a world where the weak attack and the strong receive!"

Everyone was confused, and hurriedly asked again.

I didn't want the woman to have an inscrutable expression on her face, she refused to elaborate, and only said: "You can only understand it, but you can't explain it in words. People of the same way will understand it." Then he turned his head, glanced at Feng Chen, His eyes are deep, like a tiger seeing a wild boar.

Feng Chen felt like a thorn on his back for a moment, covered in cold sweat, he quickly turned around and pushed the food on the table towards Feng Xiao, saying: "Eat quickly, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to come in vertically and go out horizontally."

Feng Xiao joyfully picked up the bowl.

Feng Chen covered his face and sighed: "What crime did I do in my previous life?"

Half an hour later, everyone, except Feng Chen, finally satiated, patted their bellies and went downstairs.

Although this bamboo house is located in a remote place with simple decoration, it is a well-known restaurant. Its exclusive brewed bamboo leaf wine has fascinated many people in the Jianghu. , bartenders, market hawkers, neighborhood aunts, etc. went around telling tourists how good this restaurant is, how delicious the food here is, making Feng Xiao's eyes red with greed, and clinging on to Feng Chen, insisting that he bring I came here to find out by myself, and the euphemistic name is: spying on the national conditions of the country.

Feng Chen couldn't hold back him, so he took Feng Xiao here for a tour last night after Xiang Li Xiruo had a general understanding of the situation.

When they got down to the first floor, many of the guests who were present had already left, and the shopkeeper was just trying to settle the accounts. When the abacus was dialed, Feng Chen slapped the banknote on the counter with a "bang", which made the shopkeeper tremble.

"I want to ask you something." Feng Chen leaned on the stage, looking down at the shopkeeper who turned pale with fright.

"If you ask, if you ask, I will know everything."

Feng Chen narrowed his eyes, and scanned the bamboo house: "Did everyone here come together just now?"

"Not all of them." The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, pointed to a few tables and said, "The people at the innermost tables came together, and the table under the stairs, oh, And a table by the window."

"Well, there are a lot of people." Feng Chen nodded: "Shopkeeper, in your opinion, who are they?"

"This..." The shopkeeper wiped his sweat again, with a smile on his face: "I can't just say that casually."

Feng Chen threw out another ingot of silver, and the shopkeeper looked straight at him, and said falteringly, "I guess you're not from Liguo. Liguo people are very particular about eating: mix left and right, don't knead rice, don't flow it, don't eat it." ..."

"Okay, okay." Seeing the shopkeeper talking more and more vigorously, Feng Chen quickly interrupted him: "You said, they are obviously not from Liguo, but they dress up as Liguo, what's their plan?"

"This..." The shopkeeper also looked puzzled, and scratched his head: "There should be no intentions, this is at the feet of the emperor, who would dare to make a mistake, but they look a bit like Beishikoku People...ah, no, Qin Xun and the two countries have already perished, could it be that they are feudal people? Oh, that would be terrible, those barbarians who cannibalize people without spit out their bones..."

Feng Chen snorted and said, "You guessed it right, they are spies sent by Feng Guo."

"Crack!" The shopkeeper's hand trembled, and the abacus fell to the ground.

Feng Chen threw another banknote on the stage, then put his sword away from his waist, opened the bamboo curtain swaggeringly, walked outside, and said as he walked: "I think the day of leaving the country will soon change. Now, these taels of silver, just treat them as my money to send you to escape, and there will be no end of time."

The guests in the bamboo house looked at each other in dismay, Xiaoer dropped another flagon and jumped up anxiously.

Feng Xiao followed behind Feng Chen, and seemed to be a little nervous and asked: "General, are those people really the spies of Feng Kingdom? It doesn't look like it."

"Of course not, I was just idle and bored, just joking with him." Feng Chen looked up at the floating clouds in the sky: "Look at their movements and figures, they are all soldiers, and they are not ordinary people. It seems that we are not the only ones sneaking into Liguo..." Feng Chen glanced back at the village behind him, and smiled strangely: "Liguo is really going to be 'besieged from all sides' now."
