Wujiabao is about twenty miles away from Jiezhou City. The roads are crowded with vehicles and horses, and there are many travelers. There is no need to worry about Lu Jiuyin openly intercepting him.

Even so, Fei Chenglin and Gu Pianpian did not dare to be careless at all. They were vigilant and always on guard. After all, people in the evil way behave strangely and erratically, and cannot be inferred based on common sense.

The young men felt the master's nervousness and caution, and they also braced themselves, looking left and right, not letting go of any suspicious person.

The road became wider and wider as we walked, and there were more and more business travelers and horses. In the snow ahead, we saw a gray-black city rising from the ground, with mountains at its back and rivers in front. It was majestic. Jiezhou City was

The northwest gateway of the Song Dynasty was bordered by Hou Shu to the south and Tubo to the west. The terrain was difficult and it was also the only way for commodity exchange between the East and the West.

Looking from a distance, the city wall is tall and solid, with war flags fluttering on top of the city, reflected in the cold light. The city gates are heavily guarded, and regardless of whether they are traveling by car or horse, they all line up to wait for soldiers to check.

Jiezhou City has arrived! Fei Chenglin and others felt a big stone in their hearts, and immediately felt relaxed all over.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the end of the road on the right, the muffled sound of hoofbeats was heard, and someone vaguely shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Mr. Liu is back in the city!"

The crowd moved out of the way like a wave struck by a knife, but saw smoke and dust billowing, and more than ten horses running in a line. The knights were all brightly dressed and strong, and the horses were carrying more or less various kinds of things on their backs.

beast.

The two young men at the head had thick eyebrows, square faces, big mouths, and strong bodies, with a condescending arrogance in their bones.

Fei Chenglin frowned and whispered: "It's the two brothers Liu Yunchao and Liu Yunhan. Hey, why is Ma Biao mixed with them?"

Fu Jingtao sneered: "Sure enough, it's better to meet each other than to be famous. The Liu family's twin tigers are so majestic!"

Huang Yunpeng whispered: "They go into the mountains to hunt in the wind and snow, but they don't practice martial arts at home. They seem to be full of confidence."

Su Jing said: "When the moon is full, it will be waning, no exception!"

While they were talking, the Liu brothers, Ma Biao and others galloped closer. When they saw Fei Chenglin, Gu Pianpian and others standing by the road, they couldn't help but be stunned. They quickly pulled the reins to slow down, and before their horses could stop, they rolled off their saddles and fell off the horses.

, cupping his fists and saying: "Master Fei, Master Gu, my nephew is polite!"

Fei Chenglin nodded and said: "Yun Chao, Yun Han, you seem to have grown taller again. I hope that in this inner sect competition, you can all outshine the old and win glory for Senior Brother Liu!"

The Liu brothers grinned and said, "Thank you very much, uncle, for your kind words. We will definitely strive to be the first."

Fei Chenglin turned to look at Ma Biao and asked, "Has your father also arrived in Jiezhou?"

Ma Biao is tall and thin, with long and narrow eyes, slightly sunken cheeks, and a calm and plain expression, but he does not show any arrogance. He said: "Reporting to Uncle Master, my father has been in Jiezhou for three days. He always talks about Uncle Master every time he drinks.

, I want to have a few drinks with you."

Fei Chenglin laughed and said: "Although Junior Brother Ma is said to be powerful, he is still a little inferior to me. When we meet later, I have to convince him."

Gu Pianpian frowned and said: "Senior brother, too much drinking is harmful to your health. At this age, you should restrain yourself appropriately and don't fight with alcohol and vindictiveness!"

Fei Chenglin said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion."

Ma Biao smiled slightly, raised his eyes to look at the young men, and said in surprise: "Uncle Fei, could these be your disciples? Why do they look so embarrassed?" He looked at Huang Yunpeng and others with cold eyes. They didn't have the demeanor of a disciple from a famous family.

You can smell the sour smell on your body from a few feet away. Thinking that these country boys have gained the favor of the master and had Cheng Tong personally teach them martial arts, but such a good thing is not in their turn, I can't help but feel jealous and resentful.

Fei Chenglin wrote lightly: "I encountered harassment from several groups of bandits along the way. They repeatedly fought fiercely and had no time to pay attention to the details."

Ma Biao thought about lightning in his mind and cupped his hands and said: "I wonder which one is Junior Brother Fu Jingtao and which one is Junior Brother Ye Huayu? It is said that the two junior brothers are deeply appreciated by the master and have been carefully cultivated by Senior Uncle Cheng. They have great skills and a bright future.

Like a brocade, you will definitely be able to climb Lingyun Peak and shine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, brothers Liu Yunchao and Liu Yunhan looked at him with bright eyes, a little excited and a little unconvinced.

Fu Jingtao was secretly angry, what did Ma Biao mean? There were obviously seven brothers among them, but Ma Biao only praised two of them. Was he trying to create internal conflicts? Especially when he said this in front of the Liu brothers, what do you think?

They all seemed to be deliberately provoking, to create a good show of sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight. Even though Ma Biao is young, he is very thoughtful!

He immediately took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Ma, I am Fu Jingtao." Without waiting for Ma Biao to say anything, he pointed at Huang Yunpeng and others and introduced their names one by one, and finally said with a smile: "The junior sisters over there are apprentices of Uncle Gu. As for my girlfriend,

As for the name, I can’t reveal it.”

Ma Biao was about to get close to a few beautiful girls. Unexpectedly, Fu Jingtao stopped talking at the critical moment. He almost turned his nose and said with a forced smile: "Junior sisters, I am Ma Biao! It is our first meeting. It is a great honor. I look forward to it."

Let’s have more discussions and exchanges in the future.”

Zuo Xia said with a smile: "Since even Senior Brother Ma thinks that Senior Brother Fu and Senior Brother Ye are very powerful, we'd better ask them for advice more."

Ma Biao's face turned red instantly and he wished he could get in in an orderly manner.

Fu Jingtao glanced at Zuo Xia appreciatively, thinking that because of this cleverness, he would have to try to get her and Lao Si to pair up. Whether Ye Huayu liked it or not, that was not the point.

Liu Yunchao coughed lightly and said to Gu Pianpian: "Uncle Gu, is this the first time for the junior sisters to come to Jiezhou City? If uncle agrees, my nephew is willing to show his friendship as a landlord and lead the junior sisters to visit the city. I promise not to

They will be neglected."

Gu Pianpian said: "Yunchao, you are very interested! However, your Liu Mansion is about to hold a birthday banquet and there are many chores. Don't you need to help?"

Liu Yunchao said: "Uncle, don't worry. My eldest brother and my cousins ​​will be able to handle the birthday banquet. It's rare for you and your junior sisters to come to Jiezhou. Anyway, let Yunchao go back to the east and experience the wonders of Jiezhou City."

.”

Fu Jingtao decisively interjected: "Senior Brother Liu, you have a role to listen, so you can't favor one over the other! We brothers are also unfamiliar with each other, so I'd like to trouble you to entertain them together."

Liu Yunchao's eyes twitched and he almost yelled at me for inviting the junior sisters to eat, drink and have fun alone to win their favor. Why did I bring along you brats who are getting in the way? He glanced sideways at Fu Jingtao and said lightly: "Junior Brother Fu, is this an order?

?”

Fu Jingtao shook his head and said: "If the Liu family cannot treat their guests equally, just treat what I just said as if I didn't say it."

Liu Yunchao's face was slightly hot, and he said sternly: "All of you, my junior brothers and sisters, are all distinguished guests of my Liu family. How can there be any distinction between high and low? Junior Brother Fu, you are too worried! It's too late to travel today. How about we visit Jiezhou together tomorrow?"

All expenses will naturally be borne by me."

"Senior Brother Liu is really heroic!" "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Liu!" Fu Jingtao, Qiao Hui and others applauded. Zeng Ke and other girls covered their mouths and chuckled, like spring flowers blooming, the garden could not contain the spring scenery.

Although Liu Yunchao was full of reluctance, he was held up in the air and could not get down. He smiled stiffly and said: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you care?"

At that moment, a group of people led their horses into the city and went straight to Liu's Mansion. After entering the city gate, they saw a large number of people on the street. Business travelers from Tibetan, Uighur, Persian, Baiyue and other ethnic groups were mixed together. The shops were filled with countless exquisite items, which made people feel...

It was dizzying to see. Every few dozen steps, there would be a restaurant or a tiled railing. Many tall and plump beauties stood leaning against the door, with pairs of enchanting blue eyes.

The young people suddenly came from a secluded place in the mountains to this big border city. Except for Luo Fei, who looked down upon them, the others only felt that everything was new and marveled at them. Especially when they saw the charming and passionate foreign beauties, they were so surprised that they didn't realize it.

Take a few glances.

Ma Biao had been secretly observing the young men. When he saw this, he couldn't help but sneer with contempt, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "Junior brothers, Hu Nu is so passionate! Be careful that they misunderstand your meaning and take the initiative to throw themselves into your arms. Then it will be difficult to end it."

The young men were purely out of curiosity and did not consider the relationship between men and women at all. After hearing Ma Biao's seemingly well-intentioned advice, they hurriedly looked away, feeling annoyed and embarrassed. You must know that Qin Ying, Zeng Ke and other girls were walking beside her.

, wouldn’t it be a huge misunderstanding if he was regarded as a womanizer by them?

Fu Jingtao knew that this kind of thing was getting darker and darker, so he simply did not defend himself and laughed and said: "It seems that Senior Brother Ma often comes into contact with Hu Nu. Otherwise, how would he know that Hu Nu is passionate? Are there any interesting anecdotes in this?

, you might as well have a chat with us during your free time."

Ma Biao was defeated by an army, his face changed again and again, and he said: "Junior brother, you are really good at joking, how could I do such a disgraceful thing?" He changed the subject and pretended to be concerned: "Forgive me for talking too much.

In the previous sentence, all junior brothers should quickly buy two new sets of silk clothes and change into them. Otherwise, when you meet Master Liu, you may be incompatible with the birthday celebration atmosphere. For those who don’t know, I thought you had some objections to the Liu family and deliberately came here to make people miserable.

Woolen cloth."

Liu Yunchao couldn't help but said: "Senior Brother Ma is right. My Liu family is well-known in Jiezhou, and we are either rich or noble. Who would wear rags on a big day? If you brothers are short of money, why don't you buy new clothes?

It’s okay to charge all the expenses to my Liu Mansion’s account.”

All the young people frowned when they heard his harsh words. However, if a slovenly person came to the house to celebrate his birthday, he would be easily criticized, and Fei Chenglin also had a shameful face. But they were obsessed with practicing martial arts and didn't care about things outside themselves. This trip

I didn't bring a few pennies with me when I traveled far away, and it was far from enough to buy silk clothes.

In the northwest area, silk and satin are almost equal to gold and silver, and ordinary people would not dare to use them as clothes.

Fu Jingtao waved his hand and said: "We are here as guests, why should the host spend money to give us clothes? That's all right. Brother Liu, you go ahead and we will catch up after we buy new clothes."

Ma Biao half-smiled but said, "Junior Brother Fu, would you like to lend you a few ingots of silver first?"

Fu Jingtao flatly refused: "No need!"

Liu Yunchao said: "In that case, let's accompany the two junior uncles and the junior sisters to leave first. Junior brothers, after changing your clothes, just ask passers-by and you will know where my Liu residence is."

Ma Biao smiled and said: "Move quickly, don't miss the reception feast!"
