Chapter 4 Chapter Four: Tough Guys in Love

In Ling Zhantian's living room, Xiao Wenwen sat quietly on a chair. The sound of small footsteps sounded from the inner hall, and a child ran out panting, and then stopped in front of Wenwen. He didn't know what he was holding in his hands, but put them behind him, so that Xiao Wenwen could not see it. It turned out that it was Ling Zhan Tian and Chu Qiusu's son Ling Ling. Wenwen glanced at Ling Ling with big eyes swollen from crying, "I don't need you to make me happy!" Infuriated, Ling Ling raised his hand high like a roc spreading its wings, and said, "Look! These are the dolls Brother Changzheng bought for me from Jinan. They are a man and a woman. They just happen to be a loving couple."

Wenwen shook her head obstinately, refusing to look at it. Chu Qiusu's footsteps and voice sounded loudly: "Ling'er, you bullied Wenwen again, didn't you?" Ling Ling said angrily, "No! I love Wenwen the most, how could I bully her, and I'm three years older than her, and I let her play rice bag throwing yesterday." Wenwen wrinkled her nose and said, "Obviously I won you, but I still want to brag." Then her eyes turned red, and she asked Chu Qiusu, "Aunt Su! Where's my mother?" Chu Qiusu sat beside Wenwen, hugged her pitifully and said, "Mother has something to leave the island, and she will be back soon."

Wenwen said: "Auntie Su, don't lie to Wenwen, Mother said last night that she would go back to the shop to brew 'Qingxi Liuquan', so as not to run out of wine in Langshou, but she didn't say she was going to leave the island." Chu Qiusu was speechless for a moment. Fortunately, Ling Zhantian, Shangguan Ying and Zhai Yushi walked into the hall at this time and rescued her. Wenwen jumped up, ran to Shangguan Ying, and shouted: "Master, have you found my mother?" Ling Zhantian stretched out his hand, hugged her and said, "Wenwen, I have a question, you must answer me honestly."

Wenwen nodded affirmatively. Ling Zhantian said: "Tell me, is there anything in the world that can't be done by the rain, the sword, the waves and the clouds?" Wenwen shook her head and said, "No!" Ling Zhantian said: "Mother was captured by the bad guys, but Lang Fanyun has already chased after her to save her, he will never let anyone hurt her, believe me?" Wenwen nodded and said: "Senior Ling, don't worry about me. I won't cry, and even the members of the Nujiao Gang won't cry. Dad died. I only cried twice, and I haven't cried since then."

There was a strange light in Ling Zhantian's eyes, as if he was meeting this girl for the first time, he said: "Before mother comes back, you will live with me and practice martial arts with Ling'er with me." Xiaoliu Station is the largest of the three post stations on the official road between Huangzhou Mansion and Wuchang Mansion, with several small hotels and more than ten houses gathered together. People who left Huangzhou Mansion at dawn, after walking for more than three hours, would stop here to rest, refill some tea, or have a simple lunch before going on their way again.

It's late autumn, and most people take advantage of the clear weather to transport more goods, go home or visit relatives before the weather turns cold, so there is an endless stream of business travelers on the road, and Xiaoliuyi also enters it prosperous month. Some people who know how to make money even aim at those who are in a hurry, set up tents on the side of the road, set up cooked food stalls, and provide fast and cheap food. When Lang Fanyun and Zuo Shi arrived, there was only one table vacant at the stall selling porridge and steamed buns with vegetables and meat. The two had no choice, so they sat down and ordered two bowls of porridge and ten steamed buns.

Zuo Shi lowered her head and remained silent. Lang Fanyun took out five bamboo chopsticks from the porcelain cylinder, placed a special pattern on the table, and asked with a slight smile, "Does Miss Zuo remember Wenwen?" Zuo Shi glanced at him quickly, lowered her head and said softly: "Since Wenwen was born, I have never been so far away from her." Lang Fanyun thought of Xiao Wenwen, smiled slightly and said: "Wenwen is indeed a very cute little girl, and she is very sensible, so rare at such a young age!" Zuo Shi said softly: "Why doesn't Langshou seat ask for wine?"

Hun Fanyun looked at the chaotic and lively scene around with interest, and replied after hearing the words: "I never drink in the morning, not to mention that I am spoiled by the clear stream and spring, I am afraid that other wines have no taste at all." At this time, a person passed by their table, saw Lang Fanyun's bamboo chopsticks on the table, his face moved, he glanced at Lang Fanyun and Zuo Shi, his whole body shook again, and hurried away. Zuo Shi still kept his head down until now, not daring to look at Lang Fanyun. The guy sent porridge and steamed buns. Lang Fanyun praised: "It's delicious!" He grabbed a steamed stuffed bun and put it in his mouth, and picked up the hot porridge in the other hand, and drank it all in one gulp.When he picked up the second steamed stuffed bun, seeing Zuo Shi still bowed his head, he wondered, "Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat something?"

Zuo Shi's pretty face blushed slightly, and said anxiously: "I'm not hungry!" Lang Fanyun wondered: "From last night to now, I haven't eaten anything, how can I not be hungry?" Zuo Shi lowered his head, and said in a gnat-like voice: "There are so many people here, I can't eat it." Lang Fanyun swept his eyes around, and out of the ten tables nearby, eight tables could not keep looking at Zuo Shi.Recalling that when I traveled with Ji Xixi back then, we always encountered such situations whenever we went to crowded places, so I got used to it and didn't take it for granted.The difference is that Ji Xixi no matter if there are a hundred or a thousand people nearby, in her eyes, it is as if Lang Fanyun is the only person in the world.

The shy and shy Zuo Shi has a different charm, but it is also so touching. Zuo Shi felt that Lang Fanyun was scrutinizing her carefully, her pretty face turned from reddish to deep red, and she couldn't lift her head up, her heart couldn't help thinking of being held by Lang Fanyun in her arms, chasing the "spear and shovel flying" show Yu Shi's shameful feeling. At this time, an imposing middle-aged man came to the table and shouted: "Langshou seat!" Lang Fanyun said lightly: "Sit down!" The big man respectfully sat down on one of the empty chairs, with eager and admiring looks in his eyes, he said: "Chen Jing, the head of Xiaoliu's branch, sees Langshou seat."

Lang Fanyun looked at the big man and said, "This is Miss Zuo Shi...uh...I recognize you." Chen Jing was flattered and said: "Seven months ago, my subordinate went back to the island and met with the people who shared the helm with Huangzhou to meet the first seat. Unexpectedly, the first seat remembered the villain." Lang Fanyun looked at Zuo Shi, and said softly: "Miss Zuo, what message do you want to bring to Wenwen, Chen Jing can use Qianliling to quickly send the news back to Nujiao Island." Zuo Shi glanced at him gratefully. Lang Fanyun always gave people the impression of Yunyehe, who didn't take worldly affairs to heart. He was so considerate and considerate. After thinking about it, he said softly: "Tell Wenwen, her mother and Langshou...the first seat together...be back soon." Originally, what she wanted to say was "together with Langshouzuo, he will take care of me", but at the end of the sentence, she couldn't speak, and her voice became thinner and thinner, which made Chen Jing's ears prick up. Lang Fanyun said to Chen Jing: "Did you hear that?" Chen Jing nodded his head like a wave to show that he heard it, and said respectfully: "This subordinate will immediately pass this news back to... to Wenwen." Lang Fanyun gave a few more instructions, and then he added them to the letter. He smiled slightly, and a picture of Wenwen's expression when she received the first letter from Qianliling specially sent to her appeared in her mind. Chen Jing saw that Lang Fanyun had no more orders, so he saluted knowingly and went. Zuo Shi said, "Thank you!" Lang Fanyun was slightly taken aback, and felt apologetic in his heart. Zuo Shi's current suffering, the fright she has received, and the pain of being separated from her beloved daughter who depend on each other for life are all caused by herself.If he hadn't invited Zuo Shi to come up to meet him at the Guanyuan Tower, and if Lang Fanyun hadn't gone to the wine shop to find their mother and daughter, the enemies who were watching him by the side wouldn't have chosen Zuo Shi to lure him into the bait. Until now, not only did Zuo Shi not complain, but he also willingly accepted all his arrangements and thanked him. The siege by Bai Wangfeng and others was a foolish act not worth mentioning. The real powerful killer was Zhan Yu, a master of the black list who came under the order of Shurangama. The Ghost King Pellet is a powerful poison that the "Ghost King" has no relatives. It has strange properties. Once it enters the human body, it will hide in the blood. Due to the fate of poetry, he had to go to Beijing in person to find the ghost king for an antidote. Another powerful point of this move is that anyone who has taken the Ghost King Pill, depending on their physique, can only live for forty-nine days at most, so Lang Fanyun must try his best to buy time and go north with Zuo Shi. With the burden of Zuo Shi added, Lang Fanyun lost his previous advantages of being alone and able to advance and retreat, and turned from darkness to light, becoming an obvious target of the enemy. He Lang Fanyun is a traitor in the eyes of the current emperor, and he is like a cloud of masters in the capital, he may be able to retreat completely, but what about Zuo Shi?What about the antidote? Thinking of this, Lang Fanyun smiled wryly. Under the leadership of Fan Liangji, Han Bai, with Rou Rou in his arms, passed through a pile of rocks and turned onto a small path up the mountain. Fan Liang stopped suddenly, and then looked around in astonishment. Han Bai was also stunned, stopped and turned around, wondering: "Yun Qingna...then...why hasn't come yet?" Fan Liangji glared at him, dodged, and swept back and forth, only to come out of the pile of rocks, only to see a big tree facing him, with a piece of paper pinned there by a hairpin, which read: "I Go back! Don't look for me." Eight words. Fan Liangji snorted, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to pull out the hairpin. The body of the hairpin was still slightly warm. Fan Liangji brought the hairpin to his nose, sniffed it, and couldn't help sighing. At this time, Han Bai let go of Rourou, walked up to him, put his arms around his thin shoulders, and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, old ghost, men and women in love are like masters against each other, there are advances and retreats, and it's not the end I don’t know the result of victory or defeat.” Fan Liangji sneered, "Who says I'm discouraged?" Seeing that he didn't even fight back when he called him an old ghost, Han Bai knew that his mood was not "good" but "bad". Suddenly, my heart became heavy as if it was being dropped by a lead weight. Fan Liangji rolled his eyes back, and said expressionlessly, "Who is that?" His eyes fell on the hairpin in his hand again. Han Bai loosened his arms around his shoulders, scratched his head and said, "How should I put it, she is Mo..." "ah!" With a strange cry, Fan Liangji flicked into the air, made a somersault, and fell back to the ground. His upper body was slightly tilted up, his hands were raised high, he clenched his fists and raised his arms to the sky, laughing loudly, "I almost got tricked by this woman!" Han Bai and Rou Rou looked at him one after the other, thinking that he would go crazy just because he gave Yun Qing a decisive word? Fan Liangji strode over, came to Han Bai, handed the hairpin to Han Bai's eyes and said excitedly: "Did you see the pair of little mandarin ducks on the hairpin?" Han Bai grabbed his hand, moved it away, nodded after looking at it for a while, and said, "It's indeed a pair of mandarin ducks. It seems... It seems that it may be a hint from Mrs. Yunqing to you, yes! It must be a hint." Speaking of In the end, anyone can tell that he is reluctantly agreeing. Fan Liang withdrew his hand violently, put the precious and heavy hairpin into his arms, and said angrily: "Fuck your hints, who wants you to make excuses to comfort me, a strong man in love." Then he stared, and said airily: " Fortunately, I haven't forgotten that this silver hairpin is one of the gadgets I gave her a few years ago, do you know? Do you understand?" Han Bai suddenly realized, looking at Fan Liangji whose every wrinkle was shining, he patted his head and said, "Of course! She carries the things you gave her with her, so it's very affectionate..." Fan Liangji rushed forward, grabbed his clothes with both hands, and said, "It's not 'great affection', but extremely affectionate, affection as deep as a bottomless pit, and as much affection as a vast ocean." The more he said, the more Excited, it came out like a word. Han Baiwei kept nodding his head, but he thought in his heart: The lady Yunqing returned this hairpin to you, maybe it means "returning this hairpin to you, we will have nothing to do with you from now on" or maybe, but of course she was half-spoken. I dare not say a word. Fan Liangji let go, suppressed his excitement with difficulty, and said with a straight face, "You haven't answered my question yet?" Han Bai turned his head to look at Rourou who was standing more than ten steps away behind him with his head hanging down. Suddenly, he felt lonely and helpless. When he turned his head, he still couldn't get rid of the pity in his heart, and put his arms around Fan Liangji's shoulder again. After walking two steps away, he introduced Rourou's origin in the simplest terms. Only now did Fan Liangji realize that this beautiful woman was so pitiful, he apologized, nodded and said: "So, why don't you just give up on Qin Mengyao, and just let her and Zhaoxia go." After finishing speaking, he backed away two steps at the same time , to prevent Han Bai from being furious and throwing his fist at each other. Unexpectedly, Han Bai was stunned for a moment, as if remembering something, his face changed and he looked at him, saying: "I almost forgot to tell you, Zhaoxia is in trouble!" Fan Liangji's whole body was shocked, and he shouted, "What?" Han Bai hurriedly raised his hand to stop his shock and said, "The disaster is just about to come, it hasn't happened yet." At that moment, 1510 will overhear the words of Chen Lingfang and Jian Zhengming's conspiracy. Fan Liangji's complexion changed several times, and his brows were wrinkled, apparently also thinking of the question that Han Bai thought of earlier. The most straightforward way at present is of course to snatch Zhaoxia away before Chen Lingfang brings her to the capital, but Zhaoxia and them have no relatives and no reason, doing so will only make things messy, how can Zhaoxia trust the two of them stranger?Asking Han Bai to marry Zhaoxia is just Fan Liangji's wishful thinking. Han Bai comforted him and said, "Don't worry! I have successfully blocked Fang Yeyu's two attacks, and if I block one more time, I can force Fang Yeyu to a duel. After killing him, we will go to Beijing together. There must be time." Fan Liangji's eyes widened, staring at him like a monster. Feeling unnatural, Han Bai stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, which didn't even blink for a moment, and snorted, "Damn old ghost! What's wrong with you?" Fan Liangji said coldly: "I think you are impatient." Han Bai said angrily: "I know, it's just white hair and red face, plus the group of people just now, even if I have your help, I will die..." He spread his hands and sighed: "But are we still in charge now? And even you The lone bandit knows how to run around like a ghost, hide his head and shrink his tail, so they got them out, so where can I hide?" Fan Liangji said hesitantly: "That's just because those who care are considered those who don't, and I found the only weakness of Qingmei for them. Now this lone thief has changed from an unintentional person to a caring person. I'm not boasting..." Han Bai let out a hateful "spit" sound, and said: "Didn't you say before that you are not afraid of anyone except Pang Ban? Now not only have people been injured, but they have also been driven to flee for their lives. You still have to say Aren't you bragging?" Fan Liang said angrily: "When did I say that I am not afraid of anyone except Pang Ban?" Han Bai calmly said: "You may not have said it, but you have written this kind of arrogant attitude on your arrogant old face, and you want to deceive people that you don't think so." He was obviously taking revenge on Fan Liangji. Qin Mengyao blatantly exposed his revenge for her admiration. Fan Liang said with a sinister smile: "I'm sorry, I almost forgot what kind of fucking hero Han Bai you have become. No wonder you speak so authoritatively." "Puchi!" Rourou beside her couldn't help laughing, the two, the old and the young, suddenly quarreled when they were discussing important matters of life and death in this besieged and dangerous situation, it was really ridiculous. Both eyes fell on Rou Rou. Under the thin bright silk dress, this beauty is exquisite and embossed, with a faintly seductive figure, which arouses people's imagination.Fan Liangji swallowed dryly, and said: "You are a child who drinks milk, but you know how to pick someone to save you." Han Bai confronted him tit for tat: "Don't you know how to pick that old lady Yunqing to save you, you toothless old ghost?" Fan Liangji's expression darkened and he said, "It's not Yun Qing's wife, it's Qing sister!" Han Bai imitated his previous tone and said: "Oh! I'm sorry, don't you also know how to pick Qingmei to save her?" Fan Liangji pulled his clothes again with one hand, and warned: "What Qingmei, how can you call me that? When you want to call Qingmei in the future, please add the word 'your' in front, understand? Han Bo Hero!" Han Bai pretended to surrender and said, "I'm sorry! It's your sister Qing." The two looked at each other, and suddenly separated, laughing loudly. A warm feeling arose in the heart of Rou Rou beside her. She spent most of her days in Mo Yi's carefree tent, and she could only try to win Mo Yi's favor every day. I have never seen such a sincere relationship between these two people, and I can't help but think that the two are actually having fun in despair and suffering under the terrible threat of the enemy, and cheer up their fighting spirit to maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood. Fan Liangji put his arms around Han Bai's shoulders, and said solemnly, "Bai'er! Let's have a discussion." Han Bai said cautiously: "What? Another discussion?" Fan Liang said impatiently: "My advice is always beneficial to you, do you want to listen?" Han Bai reluctantly gave in and said, "Old ghost, why don't you come and listen to me!" Fan Liang said very old-fashionedly: "Now the situation is clear, Fang Yeyu will not let us live until the day we fight him..." Suddenly his face changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "Damn it! We actually forgot about Xiaolie." Han Bai was stunned for a moment, feeling a chill in his heart, yes!They really forgot about Feng Xinglie, the person Pang Ban wanted most. Fan Liang was extremely annoyed: "Fang Yeyu is really not an easy kid, he only played a few tricks, and made us overwhelmed and confused. Hmph! But Xiao Lie has obtained the true biography of Li Ruohai, so if he can't beat him, he can escape! " Han Bai could hear that despite what he said, he actually had no confidence at all, but he couldn't worry now, he could only hope that Feng Xinglie and Gu Qianlian would be lucky. Fan Liangji suddenly became excited again and said, "I won't listen to your nonsense anymore, come on! I'll show you some things." Han Bai and Rourou were stunned at the same time. In such a bad situation, what else is there to look at?
