Seeing that all the teenagers had drunk ginger soup, Xu Zixian drank a bowl himself. There are no antibiotics these days, and the cold and pneumonia are a terminal illness, so it is better to be careful.

Xiuniang came over and brought a small jar of wine, a kind of fruit wine, about a dozen jars, buried under the flower trees in the backyard. She was discovered by chance, and then taken out by Xiuniang and placed in the ice-storing cellar.

Xu Zixian occasionally complained that there was no real ice drink to drink, and that there was too little wine, so he had finished drinking it long ago.

It was just casual words, but the girl remembered them firmly.

The outer wall of the wine jar is full of traces of ice cold. Originally, such ice cold wine was more suitable to drink a few days ago, but it is not bad now. After all, it has just entered autumn, and the weather still has the residual heat.

Xiu Niang didn't stay for a long time. She knew that Xu Zixian had important business. Smart women would not ask too much. Xiu Niang had already got too many things she wanted. Although she was only sixteen years old, she was quite mature and sensible. Although this kind of sensibility sometimes made Xu Zixian feel distressed.

Perhaps this is the greatest sorrow of this era. The materials are too scarce and only a few people can live comfortably.

The wine is slowly poured into the wine glass, not as good as expected, with some sweetness, but more sourness. The fruit wines of this era are actually not suitable for long-term storage, but they are cold enough, which is great.

Maybe the life of time travelers is the same. They need to constantly discover surprises, don’t be impatient or panic, but you can’t be too leisurely. Occasional enjoyment can slow down your anxious mood. Before you know it, Xu Zixian has been feeling a little too panic and excited psychological fluctuations, which gradually calm down.

Xu Zi sipped slowly until the sound of footsteps came outside the house.

Qin Dongyang gently pushed the door and came in. This was the time he had already agreed. He did not knock on the door, but walked in directly.

The rain flowed down the straw raincoat and wet the square brick floor. Qin Dongyang did not take off the straw raincoat. He said to Xu Zixian: "Criminal, they are here."

"Please come in." Xu Zixian said to the door: "Is the uncle of the Ge family and the second master both here?"

"It's us."

An answer came from the door, and when I heard the sound, I felt that it was a man with a strong body. When I walked in, it was indeed the same. Under the hat, there was a thick and bold face covered with a curly beard. It was tall and thick, with obvious blue veins on both hands, one hand on his hips and the other hand pressed on his waist. These two people were obviously different from ordinary people. They were tall and burly, but only had an ordinary appearance. Their hands were unusually slender, and their eyes were brighter and sharper than ordinary people. Although the room was dark, Xu Zixian still felt that they were seen through the heart.

At the same time, both of them had several short spears inserted on their waists. These iron spears were much shorter than the barrier knife, and were inserted obliquely around their waists. Behind them, they were carrying a round thing. Xu Zixian knew that this was the shield they used.

Both of them are the two bandit leaders with the surname Ge, and are the "Gushan Thieves". Unlike Qishan Thieves who specialize in robbing coastal residents, Gushan Thieves have very few scales. The two leaders and subordinates at most are less than a hundred, and they are normally about thirty or fifty. They are all very skilled, especially the two brothers of the Ge family, who are very skilled.

The Gushan thieves were rampant in Fuzhou City and outer counties, most of whom were robbing the rich families, and even the royal family did not let them go. It was rumored that they had once climbed into the residence of King Zhao and frightened the royal family in it. Later, they were alarmed and retreated. The Ge brothers threw out hundreds of spears and nailed more than ten teeth to the ground. Later, the guards of King Zhao's mansion had to give up chasing them.

This incident was rumored and the Zhao Mansion had never admitted it. When Xu Zi first saw the Ge brothers, his first feeling was that the rumors were probably true.

Xu Zi stood up first and bowed, "Who is the uncle of the Ge family and which is the second master?"

"I dare not take it. I am Ge Cunzhong, and the one next to me is my second brother Cunyi." A slightly short-sized strong man took a step forward, his sharp eyes still staring at Xu Zixian, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. The man did not return the courtesy, and his tone was also violent.

"Yes." Xu Zi nodded first and said, "Since you are here, even if the agreement between us is done, I believe that you will make a promise and there will be no unexpected twists and turns."

"We don't believe you very much." Ge Cunzhong said bluntly: "The people in the government are all mixed, and there are not many good people in the royal family. But seeing that you are still young, I'm afraid you haven't done too much evil. Brother Qin said a basket of good things for you. In addition, the Qishan thieves have long wanted to meet them, otherwise, this would not be done."

Xu Zixian smiled slightly and did not take the other party's attitude to heart.

These dozens of people are all thieves who kill people. The Ge brothers have been famous for many years and are originally powerful people. They specialize in robbing wealthy families. How can they have a good impression of their royal family members?

The Ge brothers and the Gushan thieves cooperated with multiple rebels when the Donghu people entered Fujian Road and killed countless enemies. Later, the two were surrounded by superior cavalry and fought to the end. They heard that the two were about a hundred steps ahead, and the corpses were like mountains. The Donghu people did not dare to approach until the end. The murderous aura on the two of them was shocking, and they did not dare to approach them. When they were finally found dead, they had countless wounds on their bodies, and they were like blood. They were still dead.

Of course, Xu Zixian wanted to recruit such heroes. He didn't even need to trust King Qi, but he wanted to take these two people into his pocket. However, Xu Zixian was still self-aware. He was not famous now, had no actual power, nor had a strong and deep connection, and the money in his pocket was even less pitiful. If this capital wanted to recruit the famous thief, the Ge brothers had a larger brain capacity than the hamster, and they would definitely choose to teach the ignorant junior in front of him, even the fourth-rank general of the court and the prince of the Marquis who was waiting for the title.

Qin Dongyang's matchmaking was so smooth, and Xu Zixian also doubted whether Qin Dongyang had a gang history. The Qin family's family background looked quite ordinary. As the saying goes, "Literature and wealthy" martial arts. Qin Dongyang used to travel around for more than ten years, searching for famous teachers and looking for martial arts masters of his generation to learn from it. Now it seems that Qin Dongyang also met many gangster heroes during his travels, and of course he would definitely not admit it.

Gushan thief and Qishan thief are two types of bandits, with different styles and difficult to resolve. After secretly contacting Qin Dongyang, the Ge brothers really chose to come and cooperate, which was also an unexpected surprise.

"Unless Chen Yutai from Qishan comes here, don't look for us. He comes over, Brother Qin knows how to find us." Ge Cunzhong did not mean to stay in the Marquis' Mansion at all. After saying that, he saw that Xu Zixian did not object, and felt that this young man was quite good. Judging from the perspective of a martial arts master, Xu Zixian is quite good, with a very strong physique. Judging from his figure, he is a martial artist who has been practicing hard. Although he has not entered the martial arts gate, it is also quite rare for a noble clan. Because of this, Ge Cunzhong had a slightly better impression of Xu Zixian, nodded and prepared to leave.

Ge Cunyi, who had not made any noise, walked towards the table where Xu Zixian was standing. Qin Dongyang frowned and moved his body.

For experts like the Ge brothers, it will be difficult for Qin Dongyang to prevent people from killing at close range.

Xu Zixian felt a very strong sense of oppression. Although the person in front of him was not as amazing as Liu Yi's aura, he also had obvious murderous aura on his body, especially the few iron spears on his waist. The spearhead exposed by the dim spear was dull, but it seemed that blood was flowing at the tip, which felt a unique and weird feeling.

"Good wine." Ge Cunyi reached out and picked up the wine glass, felt the slight feeling in his hand, and then raised his glass and drank it all.

"On such a rainy day, drinking such wine, the little marquis is a person who has something to do in his heart." Ge Cunyi's voice was a little soft, which was not consistent with his rude appearance. After smashing his mouth, Ge Cunyi turned his head and said to Ge Cunzhong: "This young man is good."

"Oh, I know." Ge Cunzhong nodded, looked at Qin Dongyang and Xu Zixian again, and said, "I know you have a master hidden. The breath that the man emitted when the second child approached was shocked. In this case, we can indeed defeat the person sent by the Qishan thief. I was a little despised by the prince before, and I was sorry."

The Ge brothers disappeared into the rain. After knowing that there was such a strong support, Xu Zixian felt a lot more relaxed.

"Brother Qin, you can leave."

Xu Zi didn't drink anymore. He took the straw raincoat and walked out with Qin Dongyang one after another.

Under the rain, Qin Dongyang followed Xu Zixian's left hand and the two walked forward. Not long after, Qin Dongyang realized that he had been following the steps of the boy in front of him, neither anxious nor feminine, nor feminine, and had a natural and harmonious feeling of confidence.

This did not appear on Xu Zixian before. Even when he invited Qin Dongyang, Xu Zixian's behavior was a bit too deliberate and humble, which is why the Qin family was guarding against it.

The etiquette must be something for others, but Xu Zixian's behavior is too different from that of a prince of the marquis's mansion.

At this time, Xu Zixian felt that he had put down some burdens or became more confident.

Not far away, Liu Yi, who was like a wandering ghost, was not wearing a straw raincoat, and was soaked all over, but he didn't care at all. He followed him slowly, but he tried his best to cooperate with Xu Zixian, neither fast nor slow, nor fast.

Unconsciously, the gentle, independent, easy-going and resolute prince of the Marquis's family began to gradually influence the people around him, although they might be better and more powerful in martial arts.

...

The place where Xu Zi went first was Sanchuankou, which he had been to before. He did not stop on the street, but continued to move forward until the periphery of Jiazizhuang.
