long moon smiles in the sky

After Zhan Zhao left Xingkong Island, he worked hard all the way to Jiujiang Mansion, knowing that he and Bai Yutang might have missed each other, but no matter what, when they arrived at Mount Lu, they would definitely meet each other.

In the evening of this day, he rushed to a post station outside Jiujiang Mansion, got off his horse and went to a tea shed by the roadside to drink tea and dry food, and drink horses by the way.

Zhan Zhao asked his assistant to get some hay and carrots for Xiaoyue, while he stood beside the horse and fed the horse with the water in the bag.

Cool water was poured on Zhan Zhao's hand, Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and licked the water in his hand.

The man brought carrots and hay, and asked Zhan Zhao by the way, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

Zhan Zhao asked with a smile, "Do you have beef noodles?"

"Yes!" the waiter said, "There are beef noodles and beef tendon noodles, which one do you want?"

"Well, I want beef tendon noodles." Zhan Zhao replied, "Yes, add a tea egg."

"Okay!" The man ran to cook the noodles.

After Zhan Zhao fed Xiaoyue to drink water, he fed him two more carrots. At this time, he saw that the assistant had already brought him noodles and put them on the car. Zhan Zhao tied Xiaoyue to the horse tethering stone beside the tea shed. , Let it eat grass with its head down.

Afterwards, Zhan Zhao walked to the outermost place of the tea shed, took the chopsticks and washed them with tea, and began to eat the warm beef tendon noodles.

After taking two sips, I thought it tasted good, and then I scooped up two spoonfuls of chili oil from the porcelain jar by the table, and poured some vinegar into it.After taking a bite, Zhan Zhao nodded happily, not bad!

While eating, the clerk came to give him a bunch of peanuts, and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to fill the water bag for you?"

"Okay, thank you." Zhan Zhao nodded, continued to eat noodles, and said to himself, this small tea shed opened on the official road is different, the guys will come to do things, and he will make it for you if you don't tell me.

While eating, I saw a large group of people not far away. They were about a dozen young men on tall horses, dressed as martial arts students. The first two men were in their 30s, with a square face and big eyes, and a slight beard. Stubble, wearing a dark green robe, held a big knife in his hand.Beside him was a younger guy, probably in his early twenties, dressed all in white, with his hair tied up high behind his head.

When Zhan Zhao saw that he was dressed in white, he couldn't help but take another look... This young man is quite energetic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is also quite delicate... But compared with Bai Yutang, he is far behind.

Judging from the posture of the group of people, they should be from the Jianghu school. Zhan Zhao lowered his head and continued to eat noodles. At this moment, he heard the young man in white shouting to the buddy, "Dude."

The man hurried over.

Those people were seated at three tables, one table for the man in white and one for the man in dark green clothes, and two tables for the other subordinates.

"A bowl of hot noodle soup and a few steamed buns for each person," the man in white ordered.

"Okay!" The man was about to leave, but was stopped by the man in white again, and said, "By the way, let me ask you, have you ever seen a man in black with a big knife and a long stick on his back? cloth bag, short hair, and a black mole on the center of the left eyebrow?"

Zhan Zhao was eating noodles, and when he heard this sentence, he frowned slightly... The description was quite detailed, and the people in the Jianghu knew who he was asking when they heard it - Kuang Dao Mo Yixiao.

Of course, Zhan Zhao had heard of the name Mo Yixiao. When he thought of the Mad Saber Gate, Zhan Zhao turned to look at those people again, and saw that they were all holding big knives in their hands. When he looked carefully, there was a knife on the knife. A white circle with the word "crazy" scrawled in it.Zhan Zhao knew in his heart that he was a member of Crazy Sword Sect. It is said that the old man Mo Ji had three sons, the eldest son Mo Yibei, the second son Mo Yixiao, and the third son Mo Yidao. Among them, the most famous one is Kung Fu. The best thing is that Mo Yi smiled.Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and felt that the two in front of him should be Mo Yibei and Mo Yidao... He probably got separated from his second child, so he didn't talk much, and wanted to finish eating the noodles so he could hurry on his way, but Zhan Zhao I rubbed my stomach and felt that I was not full, so I called the waiter and asked, "Dude, is there anything else here besides noodles? I'm not full."

The buddy was amused, and asked, "Master, why don't you have another bowl?"

Zhan Zhao bit his chopsticks and thought for a while, then said, "One more bowl will probably fill me up."

"Then... why don't you come with two steamed buns, or a bowl of donkey meat wontons?" the guy asked with a smile.

"Donkey meat?" Zhan Zhao became interested.

So it is said that good-looking people are cheap, and people who are kind are also cheap. Zhan Zhao is good-looking and kind, so it is twice as cheap.

The waiter looked at Zhan Zhao and felt that this person was easy to get along with, so he smiled and said, "Master, our donkey meat is famous in Jiujiang Prefecture. It is big and stuffed with thin skin. You are satisfied. Otherwise, ten donkeys will be served. I was just full."

"Okay!" Zhan Zhao nodded and smiled.

The guy Pi Dian Dian went in to cook wontons for Zhan Zhao.

The tea shed is not big, and there is only one stove. The staff put the wontons into the pot first, and when the wontons floated up, they filled them up first, and then put the noodles down, and sprinkled some green onion, sesame seeds and The minced pepper came out.

To get to Zhan Zhao's table, the guy had to pass by the man in white.The man in white frowned slightly and looked at the buddy, and asked, "Dude, we want noodles first, why is his wonton first?"

The man laughed and said, "Guest officer, it's good to have this bowl of noodles delivered to you. Our noodles are chewy. Cook them for a while, or they will be raw."

The man in white seemed to be dissatisfied, he turned to look aside, but he didn't say anything, and the servants at the other table looked at each other, seeming to be dissatisfied as well.

The clerk walked past the man in white and was about to reach Zhan Zhao. Among the servants, one of the servants who was sitting furthest outside suddenly stretched his leg and tripped the clerk.

"Oh..." The man yelled, and staggered forward, the wontons in the bowl were about to be spilled out.

When the guy reacted, he saw Zhan Zhao standing in front of him at some point, holding his arm with one hand and holding the bowl of wontons with the other.

The clerk was still shocked, so he heard Zhan Zhao ask him, "Is the little brother not hurt?"

The buddy looked at himself, he was fine, and then looked at the bowl of wontons in Zhan Zhao's hand, no soup was spilled.He is also a person who has seen the world, and he immediately understood that he came to see the expert, and said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay."

"I'll take it myself, you go and do your work." After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he took the bowl of wontons back to the table as if nothing had happened. He still scooped two tablespoons of chili into it, poured some vinegar, and took a bite. , smacking his lips flatteredly.

Yan Shanyue stood aside, flicked her tail and snorted, Zhan Zhao turned to look at it.

I saw Xiaoyue tilting her head to look at him, her posture seemed to say——haven't you eaten yet?Watch out for fat!I can sink when you are fat.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, glanced at the bale of hay that Xiaoyue ate, raised his eyebrows—you still have the nerve to call me, be careful that you are too fat to walk.

Xiaoyue flicked her tail - you hate it!

……

Mo Yibei and Mo Yidao at that table looked at each other, none of them could see clearly how Zhan Zhao came here just now.Mo Yibei suddenly noticed the sword in Zhan Zhao's hand. The black blade was old and dignified, with a sense of vicissitudes and simplicity.He has also done some research on swords, and the patterns on the sword are clearly ancient objects... Looking at the length of the sword and the ancient engravings on the hilt... Mo Yibei took a breath, and hurriedly said, "Could it be Nan Xiake ?”

Zhan Zhao looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Brother Mo is serious, just call me Zhan Zhao."

Mo Yidao was also a bit stupid, he looked up at Zhan Zhao carefully, and sighed in his heart, didn't everyone say that Zhan Zhao is a big man?Why is such a young man... not worthy of his reputation.The young men of the mad knives who had just tripped up the buddy couldn't help shrinking their necks, and said to themselves, they made a fool of themselves in front of Nan Xia.

Mo Yibei was very polite, came over to give Zhan Zhao a slight salute, and said, "Today is really lucky to meet the famous Nanxia Zhan Zhao on the road, Mr. Zhan appeared here, could it be that he has business to deal with? "

Zhan Zhao shook his head with a smile, returned the gift to Mo Yibei, and said, "No, I just wandered around to see my friends."

"Oh..." Mo Yibei is worthy of being an old Jianghu, he is quite accidental, so he hurriedly asked, "Didn't Nanxia go to Lushan Mountain to participate in the martial arts competition held by the old master of the Eighteenth Sect to recruit relatives?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, and said, "I just went to have a look, and I won't participate in the recruitment. The old man Yuan is also considered my elder, so I went to pay his respects to him."

"That's really a coincidence." Mo Yibei smiled, "We just happened to go to the Lushan Eighteenth School."

Zhan Zhao nodded. At this moment, he noticed that Mo Yibei's left arm was sewn with a piece of black square cloth on the lower right, with a small white flower pressed on it.

Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, this kind of decoration——should someone in the family passed away?Because Mo Yibei's clothes had wide sleeves, Zhan Zhao didn't pay much attention.Besides, Zhan Zhao came to visit the mountains and rivers this time, so he didn't want to care about the affairs of the world, so he didn't ask any more questions, just had a few polite words with Mo Yibei, and continued to eat wontons.

Sitting on the seat, Mo Yidao bowed his hands to Zhan Zhao from a distance, and Zhan Zhao also bowed his hands to him, continuing to eat wontons.

At this time, the noodles also came up, and everyone in the Crazy Sword Sect bowed their heads to eat the noodles.

……

Bai Yutang arrived at Jiujiang Mansion early, and went to several inns to inquire. There was no such person as Zhan Zhao. He went around the stables of various restaurants, but he didn't find Xiaoyue. Snorting, tail flicking.

Bai Yutang gave it a blank look, remembering that Huifeng had been grazing in the same stable with Xiaoyue before Huifeng. It's like he beat a mandarin duck with a stick.Because of this, Huifeng had a tantrum with him for two days. Bai Yutang was angry, and he said that you are a wild horse. If you have a daughter-in-law, you will forget the owner. Finally, he patted its neck and said, "Forget it, let's go The next time you are in heat, I will let you and Xiaoyue accompany you."

Back to Fengle, look back at Bai Yutang - I'm in heat right now!

Bai Yutang fired a chestnut with his backhand.

……

In the end, he couldn't do anything, Bai Yutang felt that the wild cat was probably delayed because of his greed for food and play, and originally wanted to find the best inn to stay in, but the inn was full.

Bai Yutang found a few more, but they were all full... I was puzzled, but after asking, I found out that they were all here to participate in the martial arts contest held by the old man to recruit relatives.

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought that Mr. Yuan's girl was quite popular, but he didn't know what she looked like.

Finally, seeing that he was about to end up on the street, Bai Yutang saw many painting boats parked in the middle of the river with sharp eyes. Yes, our ship will pick up passengers at night."

Bai Yutang looked at the gorgeous decorations on the boat and the rooms inside, and asked, "Whose boat is this?"

"Oh, we are the boat of Baihualou." The man smiled, these are old fritters, and one look at Bai Yutang and you can tell that they are not ordinary people!

After walking around in the boat, Bai Yutang called a waiter, handed him a dozen bank notes, and said, "Tell your boss, I'll take care of this boat for half a month."

The clerk stared stupidly at the dozen banknotes in front of him, and said for a long time, "Um...Master, do you want a girl?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, and said, "Leave me some rowers, find a nice girl, and get me a cook."

"Oh, that's good!" The clerk happily held the banknotes, didn't even want the boat, rowed the boat and rushed to Baihualou.

Bai Yutang looked upstairs and downstairs, walked to the bow of the boat and stretched himself, thinking, maybe the cat hasn't come yet, if it comes late, there will definitely be no inn to stay in, so it's better to stay on this boat.

……

Zhan Zhao lowered his head, carefully looked at the last wonton in the spoon, and put his chin in one hand to feel embarrassed...It tastes good, but I guess he will be full after eating this one...But...if he doesn't eat it, he will feel like What's missing?As the saying goes, if you eat one more, you will be full and eat one less. It's not fun... It's embarrassing!

On the other side, Mo Yixiao looked at Mo Yibei, and winked at Zhan Zhao, as if asking - why is he here?

Mo Yibei also looked puzzled, shook his head, and remained silent.

In the end, Zhan Zhao thought hard, and finally came up with a compromise method, biting open the wonton, eating the stuffing, and keeping the skin!

Sure enough, after eating, I feel refreshed, no more, no less!

Yan Shanyue at the side looked at Zhan Zhao feebly - you are really good.

Zhan Zhao put down the spoon and put the money on the table. The clerk saw it from a distance and hurried over to collect the money. Seeing that Zhan Zhao was generous, he didn't need to look for it, so he happily went into the room and continued to work.

Zhan Zhao was going to say goodbye to Mo Yibei and Mo and the others, but at this moment, he saw a dozen black-clothed men stumbling back not far away, and the leader shouted, "The master! Big boss!"

Mo Yibei and Mo Yidao saw that those people were seriously injured, so they asked, "Why are you alone? What about the others?"

The first one shook his head with a mournful face, "Let Mo Yixiao kill them all!"

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment. Ears are not like mouths and eyes. Humans can control them. If you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to say it, and if you don’t want to see it, you don’t have to look at it.

Zhan Zhao wondered, isn't Mo Yixiao the second in command of the Crazy Sabers?How could you kill your own people?

"Are you all idiots?" Mo Yidao said with anger on his face, "So many people can't even catch a wounded person!"

"No, the third master." The men in black said, "We were almost there, but Mo Yixiao was rescued!"

"Who?" Mo Yibei looked at several people.

"That man..." The men in black looked at each other and said, "It's Chinchilla Bai Yutang."

"What?" Mo Yibei and Mo Yidao were surprised at the same time.

On the other hand, Zhan Zhao was discouraged. He propped his cheek with one hand, and said to himself——Bai Mouse, you can really do it. If you cause trouble, you will cause trouble. Don't let me run into it, okay?Thinking of this, I feel like I ate too much of that bowl of wonton just now... full!
