CH 20

Chang’an City is peaceful and prosperous. Many people come here to play or do business every year. This inn is the largest and best in Chang’an. Dinner time has arrived, and there is a lively scene in the lobby, but at this time, if someone passes by one of the tables, they will involuntarily stop and take a look, because the people at that table all have a fixed expression on their faces, which is really weird.

General Gu was the calmest. He calmly poured a glass of wine for himself and looked straight at someone who still refused to get up from the arms of Xiao Wang Ye, still without saying a word.

The scene was dead silent, Xiao Cao was under great pressure, coughed dryly, and silently turned and ran to Yun Xian’s arms: “Daye~”

Yun Xian had already recovered and was busy picking vegetables into his bowl. When he saw him coming, he held the bowl in one hand and held him in the other. He shivered and ran to the next table to eat, blinking his shiny eyes and watching.

Muzi was quiet, brought the bowl and followed, and soon there were only two people left there.

Xiao Cao looked at the man and asked curiously in a low voice, “Hey, who is he?”

Yun Xian continued to watch, and casually replied: “Go aside, don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask.”

Xiao Cao said indifferently, glanced at him, and rubbed forward courteously: “Master, will you give me the chicken drumsticks in your bowl?”

Yun Xian looked at him sympathetically: “It’s pitiful. I just ran away and you didn’t even take the bowl. It’s the most uncomfortable feeling to have no food.”

Xiao Cao nodded pitifully: “Master, look at this chicken leg…”

Yun Xian then used chopsticks to clip up the chicken drumsticks. Xiao Cao was immediately grateful, and was about to reach out to take it, but when he saw this person bow his head, he bit, and said without raising his head: “You deserve it, who cares about you.”

“……”

Here Genius Long stared silently at the knife on the table, tremblingly pinched it, and moved it to a safe place. Then, seeing that the man had finished drinking, he immediately obediently refilled him, and asked again: “Then what…why are you here?”

Seeing that an outsider was present, General Gu did not call him Xiao Wang Ye, but said in silence: “What you said, be tough when necessary.”

Genius Long blinked and asked weakly tentatively: “…so?”

General Gu announced: “I want to follow you.”

“Oh, I thought there is something,” Genius Long exhaled and said happily, “Follow.”

General Gu said, “…that’s it?”

“What?” Genius Long glanced at him, “If I don’t let you follow you, will you be obedient?”

General Gu shook his head.

“That’s it,” Genius Long said, “Then what am I wasting my words for? I am not a fool.”

“……”

“Eat, eat,” Genius Long said, then looked at the three of them, “And you guys, why are you running so far when you have nothing to do, come back to me.”

When Xiao Cao heard the words, he immediately got up happily and ran straight over. He quickly picked up the last chicken leg. Yun Xian and Muzi were about to pass. As a result, he raised his eyes and saw a certain general glancing over. For a moment, there was a majestic feeling in his eyes. He looked at the knife on the table indifferently, and then looked at them indifferently.

Muzi continued to eat expressionlessly.

“…” Yun Xian sat back silently.

Xiao Cao pinched the chicken leg, blinked his innocent eyes and thought for a while, hurriedly stepped back with a small broken step, and sat obediently beside Yun Xian, gnawing the chicken leg while watching.

“…” Genius Long turned his head stiffly, and saw that General Gu asked Xiao Er for a bowl of rice, and said slowly: “I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

“…” Genius Long nodded blankly, looking at someone who suddenly leaked domineering, “Oh, you said, you said…”

“I want to sleep in a guest room with you.”

Muzi stiffened slightly, Yun Xian’s hand loosened, the chopsticks fell on the table with a click, and Xiao Cao continued to chew the chicken drumsticks motionlessly. By the way, he looked at the two people next to him: “Do you have to be so surprised?”

The two ignored him and looked at the next table in unison, almost forgetting to breathe.

“…” Genius Long blinked, blinked again, and said sincerely, “I’m sorry the wind is too strong, I didn’t hear it clearly.”

“…” General Gu said, “I said I want to be with you…”

Genius Long lowered his head to eat: “Ah, this dish is really delicious, is it really delicious? It’s really delicious, good boy, try not to talk when eating, eat first, and then talk after eating.”

General Gu didn’t care either, and obediently complied, while the remaining three asked for another dish and ate in silence, only occasionally glancing at the other end, and then quickly lowered their heads, the atmosphere was weird for a while. There is a screen on the right side of the lobby opposite the stairs. In front of the screen stands a storyteller, who is talking vividly about the heroes and heroes of the moment.

The attention of a few of them was on someone who suddenly appeared just now. At this time, they calmed down and began to listen carefully for a while. From Shenghua’s victory to the nearest capable knight, one after another, it was also very interesting.

Yun Xian listened quietly, and suddenly said, “Yi Gang? There are really gangs that rob the rich and help the poor these days. One day I will meet them. In fact, I have never been able to figure it out. Do ordinary people dare to ask for things from the robbers?”

Genius Long said, “Who knows, maybe you will meet them one day and ask, but where are you going to find them?”

Yun Xian shrugged: “Don’t know.” He was already full, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks, but saw Xiao Cao looking at them strangely, and couldn’t help but ask, “What?”

Xiao Cao twitched the corner of his mouth: “Don’t you know that the group of people you robbed… are from the Righteous Gang?”

Yun Xian and Genius Long looked at each other, and Genius Long asked, “What do you think?”

Yun Xian said: “I think those people are pretty good, they are very easy to cheat.”

Genius Long nodded: “Now you understand. It’s because it’s so dumb and looks so harmless that people dare to ask for what they give them.”

Yun Xian: “……”

Xiao Cao: “……”

General Gu was also listening, and couldn’t help but say: “That man said that the real leader of the Righteous Gang is not a man with a long knife. He doesn’t show up often. Who do you see?”

Genius Long and Yun Xian didn’t squint, they hardly looked at Xiao Cao, but said, “Those with long knives.”

General Gu responded, but as he listened to the storyteller’s description of the man, he could not help but shake his head: “Who knows whether it is true or not.”

“I guess,” Genius Long said leisurely, “This kind of thing is probably fake.”

“Hmm.”

After they finished eating quickly, Genius Long saw that General Gu wanted to bring up the old things again, and hurriedly said, “Let’s go play. I think Chang’an City is absolutely lively at night.”

General Gu glanced at him and said indifferently: “Let’s go, anyway, I have finished what I should say.”

“…” Genius Long suddenly went crazy, “Go to your dreams! Dream! I won’t sleep in the same room together with you. If this matter is not discussed, I won’t agree! I don’t agree with death! It’s useless how much money and benefits you give me. Do you know what wealth means that you can’t commit adultery, and you can’t bend to power? You have to be spineless to be a man, let me tell you…”

General Gu calmly poured a cup of tea and handed it over: “Here.”

“…” Genius Long silently took a sip and took a breath, “If I say I disagree, I disagree!”

General Gu said calmly: “What you said, be harder when necessary.”

“…” Genius Long was about to cry, “Can I, I, I take that sentence back?” What? Can it? Why did you suddenly think of sleeping with me, what the hell do you want to do?”

“Lest you slip away again without a word.”

Genius Long was startled: “Just for this?”

“Hmm.”

“Then…then you,” Genius Long asked very cautiously, pointing to himself and pointing to him, “You…I…”

General Gu looked at him in surprise.

“It’s you and me…” Genius Long pointed back and forth between each other, “It’s that… understand?”

General Gu was startled, his eyes calm: “I won’t force you.”

Genius Long breathed an instant of relief and wiped away his cold sweat: “I’m alive… It’s okay, you can sleep if you want… Anyway, I can’t stop it. Even if you use your identity to pressure you, you probably won’t listen.”

“Hmm.”

“Hey, isn’t it, that’s it?” Yun Xian didn’t see the gossip he wanted and immediately protested, “Facial paralysis, let me tell you, you can’t do this. Do you know what a tough attitude is? Do you want to get my brother? Then you have to be hard! Do you know hard? Raw rice cooked into cooked rice! Ouch!” He immediately avoided the chopsticks thrown over, “Brother, what are you doing?”

“What do you say about me?” Genius Long gritted his teeth. He turned his head to look at his facial paralysis. He saw someone’s hand holding a teacup and paused slightly, with a thoughtful look. In an instant, he remembered that this person was very obedient. Stimulated, he picked up the leftovers on the table and smashed them directly on Yun Xiao’s face, shaking with anger, “I must kill you today!”

Yun Xian was so frightened that he had no time to avoid him, and hurriedly lifted Xiao Cao aside to block him.

Xiao Cao was caught off guard. At a first glance, when he saw the flying murder weapon, he didn’t want to take out a fan from his sleeve. He shot like electricity. Everyone only felt a flower in front of them. He fixed his eyes and watched the plate fall steadily on the table. Although the vegetable soup splashed a little, he didn’t even get a drop on his body.

“Ouch…” Xiao Cao hurriedly broke free from Yun Xiao, pulled the square scarf and wiped his baby fan with a distressed expression on his face.

Everyone stared at him intently, and what he was holding in his hand was actually an iron fan. Muzi saw his moves and immediately got up to Xiao Wang Ye, looking at this person vigilantly. General Gu was also startled by his movements. He had already seen that this person was not like a young man, but he didn’t expect him to hide it.

Xiao Cao wiped the fan dryly, looked up and saw everyone looking at him, and couldn’t help but touch his face: “What?”

Yun Xian got up slowly, walked to Genius Long’s table and sat down, and asked with a smile: “Do you want the money?”

He was naturally referring to the gambling money won from the bandits, and Xiao Cao sat down with a smile: “Naturally, I can’t let you take the money of my brothers for nothing.”

Muzi suddenly said, “You are…”

General Gu didn’t know what happened to them during the day, so he asked in surprise, “What?”

After the plate incident just now, many people around were watching them, and Genius Long had to lower his voice, “The person in front of you is the leader of the gang who sees the head and doesn’t see the tail,” he said, spreading his hands, “You see, that storyteller is indeed too false.”

General Gu agreed: “Yes.”

Xiao Cao: “……”

“Your subordinates wanted to do a play and catch you back, but when they saw you suddenly messing with us, they gave up. Let’s talk about it,” Genius Long said. “What do you want to do with us,” He pointed to Yun Xian, “For him?”

Xiao Cao was startled: “I know you two have already seen my identity, but I didn’t expect to be able to guess this level.”

Yun Xian said: “Because you suddenly became interested in us after hearing my brother call my name, it’s easy to guess.”

“Oh?” Xiao Cao smiled, “Is the expression on my face so obvious?”

Genius Long asked, “Do you say it or not? Not to mention that we will let you follow because we have fun.”

“There is nothing to hide,” Xiao Cao said with a smile. “I have heard of the famous name of Yun Xian, the military division of Beimo, and I know that he suddenly disappeared when he left the city. I just want to find out if it is him, and since you can mix with him, and you can also tell him to get a brush and paper to make a note, the origin should not be small, I’m just curious, curious.”

Genius Long couldn’t help being startled. It was only a few days before Yun Xian disappeared from the city. This person knew so clearly. Xiao Cao saw what he thought and shrugged: “I am more concerned about border matters, but depending on the route you take… It should be from Helan Mountain, right? So I guessed it right?”

Yun Xian didn’t answer but analyzed: “You built a righteous gang to help the weak, and you are so concerned about national affairs. I am very curious, why don’t you join the army?”

“I also think,” Xiao Cao sighed, “Anyway, I don’t care to say a few more words at this point. I am the son of a sin minister. I have suffered from white eyes since I was a child. You won’t understand the taste of it.”

Genius Long and Yun Xian looked at him together: “You are so pitiful.”

“……”

Genius Long took a sip of tea: “You just want to figure out our identity? No superfluous ideas?”

“I can now be sure that he is Yun Xian,” Xiao Cao poured himself a glass of wine, ignoring the second half of his question, but looked at Yun Xian and asked with interest: “Have you seen General Gu? What kind of person is he?”

Facial paralysis was startled.

“…” Yun Xian said, “What do you ask this for?”

“He is the same age as me, but he has been on the battlefield several times and has long been famous. This time, he defeated the Beimo Army in one fell swoop,” Xiao Cao said. “He is a true hero. I always wanted to meet him, but unfortunately, I never had a chance.”

The corner of Yun Xian’s mouth twitched: “I can only say that reality is often cruel.”

Xiao Cao was startled: “What do you mean?”

Yun Xian didn’t answer, but Genius Long patted General Gu’s shoulder: “Well if he admires you so much, why don’t you just take him as your lieutenant?”

“…” Xiao Cao was shocked, “What do you mean?”！”

“You guess.”

Xiao Cao looked at the knife on the table and then at the face, then at the knife and then at the face, there was a moment of silence before he asked in a trembling voice: “…… Are you not lying to me?”

The two of them nodded their heads in unison.

Xiao Cao was silent. General Gu was also silent. The two looked at each other for a long time, only to hear Genius Long say with great sorrow: “Seeing each other is better than not seeing each other ……”

Xiao Cao got up and headed upstairs: “You guys let me take a break ……”

Everyone: “……”
