Chapter 21

When Second Master Long came down from upstairs, he saw Xi Cang sitting with a masked man in black.

Xi Cang was facing the position of the stairs, and when he saw someone coming, he got up and nodded his head.

"Brother Xi came so early, I was planning to visit you in the afternoon."

"Do you know where I live?"

Second Master Long was taken aback by the question, what he said was just ordinary polite words, but it's a pity that Xi Cang didn't know much about these worldly scenes when he first entered the rivers and lakes.Second Master Long was not embarrassed, he just smiled and looked at the man in black who was still sitting at the table, "This is..."

"This is my senior brother, Xi Hai." Xi Cang knew that the master didn't want people to know his identity, so he told the other party the false name he had planned in the morning.

"Your surname is Xi?"

"Senior brother and I are both orphans. After following Master, we also took Master's surname."

Second Master Long had a delicate expression, and he unconsciously rubbed the handle of the fan with his fingers, "Dare to ask the respected master's name?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you that."

Second Master Long nodded, then clasped his fists with a smile and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Long, and my single name is Fei. Because I am the second in my family, my friends also call me Long Er, you two My age should be younger than this one, if you don't mind it, just call me Second Brother, if you don't mind it, then you can just call me Long Er."

Thinking of relying on him to help find someone in the future, Xi Cang called out politely, "Second Brother Long."

Long Er responded happily, but in fact, he cared more about the person who just sat there silently from the beginning to the end.He patted Xi Cang's shoulder calmly, and motioned to sit down, "It's still early, you should accompany Second Brother to have something to eat first."

Xi Cang said, "My senior brother only eats one meal a day, and I already used it when I came here."

Long Er paused while pouring the tea, and pretended to be casually glanced at the man in black, but unfortunately the man was wearing a mask and didn't make a sound, which made him unable to figure it out. "In that case, let's go!" He put down the teapot and stood up.

Xi Cang said, "We are not in a hurry, Second Brother Long can use it up and talk about it sooner."

"It's okay, it's the same if I ask Xiaoer to pack something to eat on the way." Long Er said, beckoning Xiaoer to give some instructions, and then turned back to them, "But I have to go to a place before I leave. .”

"Where?"

"Horse market." Long Er sat down and took a sip of tea again, explaining with a gloomy expression, "Then damn it, Mo Ruchu took my BMW away before leaving, and I have to figure it out with him when I go back." Just a bill."

Xi Cang recalled that he and Mo Ruchu had chased each other and hid in the market, and thought of their 30-year friendship, so he couldn't help wondering about their relationship, "Are Brother Long and Brother Mo friends?"

"Who is his friend!" Long Er curled his lips, "He is a debt collector, and he has been chasing me for ten years!"

"What debt do you owe him?"

"Who owes him that!" Long Er knocked on the table angrily with his fan, "That bastard is clearly a lunatic! He has pestered me for so many years because of a man who doesn't know whether he's alive or not!"

"What man?"

Long Er frowned, "Those are all grievances from the previous generation, so don't mention them."

Xi Cang wanted to ask some more questions, but the mistress came over and interrupted their conversation.

Long Er didn't seem to want to continue this topic anymore, he picked up the packed food and got up, "Okay, let's go to the horse market to pick a good horse, and then set off for Jiangling."

Xi Cang got up and reached out to take Xi Qing's hand.

Long Er raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and didn't ask any further questions.

As soon as the three of them left the gate of the inn, they saw a handsome young man in fresh clothes and angry horse approaching him.

Seeing this young man, Xi Cang couldn't help frowning his sword eyebrows that slanted into his temples.

Mei Qi who was on the horse naturally also saw them, he quickly jumped off the horse and came to them.

Not wanting to, Long Er opened his mouth first, "What are you doing here?"

Mei Qi first gave Xi Cang master and apprentice a bitter look, then lowered her eyebrows and said to Long Er, "I heard that Second Uncle is going back to Jiangling today?"

Long Er naturally saw the luggage he put on the horse, raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Finally got bored of playing in Suzhou City?"

Mei Qi's insolent temper restrained herself in front of Long Er, and she only frowned slightly when she heard the words, "I have something to do when I go back, and naturally I'll come back to Suzhou when I'm done."

"What can you do seriously?"

"I... I can't say."

Long Er snorted softly, "I can guess it even if you don't tell me, it must be related to Hua Ruomeng!"

Mei Qi had an expression of being told, he frowned and said nothing, if sister Meng insisted that he go with this second uncle, otherwise he would have left the city by himself.

"That's all." Long Er said again, "Second Uncle, I don't want to take care of your affairs, since you are going back to Jiangling, then let's go together, there should be someone to take care of you on the way, if you let you run around alone, Your father should be worried when he finds out."

Mei Qi snorted, "He never worried about my life!"

Long Er didn't answer his words, he just said, "It's just in time for you to come, first accompany Second Uncle to the horse market to pick a good horse."

Mei Qi responded, but suddenly pointed to the person next to him, and said coldly, "Why is Second Uncle with them?"

Naturally, Long Er saw his cold eyes on brother Xi Cang earlier, so he turned his head and asked with a smile, "Brother Xi also knows my nephew who is not good for anything?"

Xi Cang didn't expect that Long Er and Mei Qi were uncles and nephews, and he was slightly taken aback. Thinking that he would go on the same road with this arrogant son, he couldn't help frowning.Hearing Long Er's question, he only replied indifferently, "I did have a relationship with Seventh Young Master a few times."

Hearing what he said, Mei Qi just stared at him coldly, didn't say much, and seemed unwilling to mention Hua Ruomeng's name in front of Long Er.

Long Er saw their turmoil in his eyes, and just smiled calmly, "Since we know each other, it would be great, it's getting late, let's hurry up and get down to business!"

A group of people first picked a strong and good horse at the horse market, and then went straight out of Suzhou City.

Xi Cang's seat is also a rare and famous horse, which was also snatched from the robber leader before.He and Xi Qing rode together, and Xi Qing nestled quietly in his arms, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.The oncoming cold wind was as piercing as a knife, Xi Cang took out the white fox cloak again, and wrapped the person in his arms tightly.

Seeing this, Mei Qi snorted coldly, "Manzi, you dumb senior brother obviously has profound internal skills and extraordinary skills, why are you so nervous?"

Xi Cang pretended not to hear.

Mei Qi curled her lips again and said, "What kind of broken mask are you wearing? It's not like I haven't seen it before, pretending to be a ghost!"

Long Er's heart moved. Although the black-clothed man covered most of his face, but based on his countless experience in reading people, he can still conclude that this man's appearance is absolutely good, but he didn't say a word. Could it be that he is really a mute? no?If this is the case, it's really a pity, but it's really interesting to see Xi Cang's cautious attitude towards his senior brother.

Mei Qi didn't know what she heard from Hua Ruomeng, although she still didn't have a good face towards Xi Cang's master and apprentice, but she wasn't as embarrassing as before.It's just that he still used words to provoke Xi Cang from time to time, saying "barbarian" on the left and "barbarian" on the right.The more Xi Cang ignored him, the more he worked hard, listening to him talking to himself non-stop.

Long Er used to scold him without pretentious words, but later saw that Xi Cang didn't accept his faults at all, so he let him go too, but he couldn't help but admire Xi Cang from the bottom of his heart, this person is young but calm The atmosphere will definitely make a difference in the future.It's just that I don't know if his master has anything to do with the person who has been missing for many years.

Four people rode three horses and traveled more than [-] kilometers a day. After seven days, they arrived at the boundary of Ezhou.

The weather was fine that day. At noon, they walked to a simple tea stand and stopped their horses to take a rest.

Xi Cang got off his horse, and without waiting for Xi Qing to move, he hugged him down.

Both Long Er and Mei Qi saw his care for Xi Qing in every possible way. At first when they stayed overnight, they were surprised that their brothers and sisters had to live in the same room. I only know that the relationship between the brothers and sisters is really too good to be unusual.

"Xiaoer! Hot tea, hot buns, cooked beef, serve them all quickly!"

As soon as Mei Qi sat down, she slapped her butt on the table and started shouting.

Long Er didn't say anything, but his pair of flirtatious peach blossom eyes calmly scanned the guests on other tables.

Xi Cang didn't squint, and only focused on Xi Qing's body.

Not long after, a woman brought up everything they asked for.

"The guests have all their things in order, just order if there is not enough."

Long Er threw an ingot of silver to her.

"Is there any wine?"

"Only burning knives that are hot and choking."

"Have a pot."

"Please wait."

After driving all morning, Mei Qi was so hungry that she took a hot steamed bun and put it in her mouth.

Long Er shook his head, "How careful are you when you go out, are you not afraid that the buns are poisonous?"

Mei Qi chewed the steamed stuffed bun, and hummed softly, "Second Uncle's nose is more effective than silver needles, if it's poisonous, you should have turned the table!"

Long Er took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "There are a lot of unknown poisons in Jianghu, and I can't smell all poisons."

"Anyway, there is Second Uncle here, even if he is poisoned, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"You! It doesn't hurt to be careful in everything, don't take it lightly just because I'm here."

Their uncles and nephews had a lively chat, but only one voice was heard on Xi Cang's side.

"Senior Brother." Although this address sounds a bit awkward, but because of being in front of others, you can only get used to it slowly. Xi Cang blew on the hot tea before putting it in Xi Qing's hands, "Drink some hot tea to warm up first."

Xi Qing picked up a small glass and drank it.

Xi Cang handed another steaming steamed bun to his lips.

"Brother, you didn't eat anything yesterday, so eat more today, there are still two days to go!"
