As soon as Xiao Zhuo said that he would not kill the rough guy, the man in fine clothes quickly kowtowed before standing up. He called the rough guy over and introduced Xiao Zhuo: "Hero! I am Youtong Youjunda. This is my sworn brother."

My eldest brother, Cheng Yaojin, has offended many people beforehand, and there are many heroes. I am very grateful. Big brother! Please apologize to the heroes. You said you came here to practice axe, why did you rob Tao?"

"Ouch! Brother! Why did you come here? I was still practicing my axe, and this brother happened to come over. I just wanted to test the power. How could I have thought of stabbing my hand like this!" Cheng Yaojin

He complained a few words to You Junda, then turned to Xiao Zhuo and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother, I'm sorry just now. I, Old Cheng, have blind eyes and cannot see Taishan. I offended you."

When Cheng Yaojin said this, he seemed to have something to say, but he never spoke. He just kept winking at You Junda. You Junda also immediately understood what he meant and said: "Hero, my elder brother is stupid. He is

I want to invite you to our manor and serve you a drink to calm your shock. Firstly, to apologize, and secondly, to get to know each other. I just happened to be here to call my elder brother back for dinner. Why don’t you, a hero, come to the manor and sit down?"

"It doesn't have to be like this! I still have something to do, so I can't stay long. I accept your kindness and take my leave!" Xiao Zhuo just listened to Cheng Yaojin's words. The idea of ​​having an idea is simply a slang in the world, so he became a little suspicious.

You Junda's identity and intentions. Although he was not afraid of what the other party would do, after all, it would take a lot of time, so he did not intend to go with them. However, when he turned around, he found that Cheng Yaojin had already stopped him before him.

He pulled the horse's reins harder, and the horse was pulled in another direction and followed him!

"Cheng Yaojin, stop!" It was useless no matter how much Xiao Zhuo shouted. Seeing that Xiao Zhuo hadn't caught up, Cheng Yaojin had already stepped on the horse's stirrups and jumped on the horse's back. He slapped the horse's buttocks with his hand and walked away in anger.

Xiao Zhuo looked at You Junda beside him and had no choice but to follow him.

When I arrived at Runan Village, I saw plates and bowls, dishes and soups, and there were no less than twenty or thirty dishes. The housekeepers and servants were waiting on the side, and three jars of unopened old daughter's red were placed beside the table. Xiao

Seeing this, Zhuo couldn't help but wonder what the two of them were doing. How could this be an apology? This was simply an apology to the uncle! This meal was not delicious! Xiao Zhuo sighed in his heart and simply ignored it.

He went straight to the guest seat, but was moved to the chair by You Junda.

"Come! Brother, I, Old Cheng, will give you a toast. If nothing else, you can do better than me with my axe. I, Old Cheng, can do it!" Cheng Yaojin brushed his sleeves with one hand and ignored Xiao Zhuo.

If there is no response, he immediately drinks the next bowl.

"Brother Cheng is too complimentary! I can only use those twelve moves at most. If Brother Cheng learns it in the future, with your strength, you will definitely be able to use all thirty-six moves. Also, my name is Xiao Zhuo, You Zhuang

Master, I don’t have to shout out a hero anymore, I’m so ashamed of myself.” Xiao Zhuo watched Cheng Yaojin finish his drink, and followed suit with a bowl.

"Hey! Brother Xiao is so humble! To put it shamefully, my elder brother's ax has been practiced for more than half a month and he hasn't learned a single move. Brother Xiao, you only need to read the ax manual once and you can use it twelve moves in a row.

, With this kind of ability, there is no one else in the world." You Junda praised him for a while, but Xiao Zhuo noticed the problem in his words and asked: "Why, Master You knew that I only read it once, so he

Have you learned the ax technique?"

Xiao Zhuo recalled what happened before and began to realize that something was wrong. First of all, You Junda said that he went to the grove to ask Cheng Yaojin to come back for dinner, but did you need to bring weapons when you asked someone to eat? Secondly, You Junda said

The villager had already prepared the meal, but when he came to the village, he clearly saw smoke coming from the backyard and not a single dish in the hall. These phenomena were enough to show that You Junda’s real purpose in going to the grove before was completely unknown.

He didn't go to ask Cheng Yaojin for dinner, and You Junda had already arrived at that time, but for some unknown reason, he never showed up.

When You Junda was asked this question by Xiao Zhuo, his eating movements paused for a moment. However, after shaking his eyes from side to side, he replied with a smile: "Hey! Brother Xiao, don't laugh at me when I say this.

I was afraid that my eldest brother would cause trouble when he went out alone, so I had people follow him to practice axeing for the past few days. When my eldest brother robbed you, the people who followed him came back and told me, so I went there with the weapon. But when I got there,

Even though you were very good with the axe, you didn't kill my eldest brother with every move, so you hid and didn't come out. Then I saw you wanted to do it again, so I thought you were tired of playing cat and mouse.

He's about to kill someone, so he just came out!"

"Oh! So that's it!" Xiao Zhuo was noncommittal, but Cheng Yaojin jumped up first. "Hey! What a good You Junda. I, old Cheng, was so scared that I was crawling all over the ground in front, but you were always behind me.

Are you kidding me? You brother, I don’t want to be with you anymore! I will take my mother and leave this village of yours."

Cheng Yaojin angrily put down the food in his hand, kicked the bench away, and was about to leave. You Junda quickly stepped forward to stop him and persuaded: "Oh! Brother! You can't leave! You take it with you."

My mother is gone, and she has to follow you around again. She is old, can you bear it? Besides, I saw clearly when Brother Xiao attacked you. Every time he struck, the handle of the ax remained.

It's half a foot smaller! I don't even want to hack you, right? Brother Xiao!"

You Junda kept winking at Xiao Zhuo. Although Xiao Zhuo wondered if You Junda had any purpose, seeing that his behavior toward Cheng Yaojin did not seem to be intentional, he responded: "Yes! Cheng Yaojin."

Brother, I really didn’t want to hurt you. When I hit you, didn’t I remind you how to hide?”

Cheng Yaojin stopped, thought about You Junda's words again, and finally muttered vaguely: "Well! That's okay! I, old Cheng, won't leave! You Junda! You can't do this again in the future!"

"Don't worry, brother, there will never be a next time!"

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin had been persuaded, You Junda quickly pulled him back to the table and sat down. The three of them exchanged glasses several times. You Junda was also a little drunk, so he turned around and asked Xiao Zhuo

: "Brother Xiao, in the grove, you said you had something to do and were waiting to leave. I wonder if the matter is urgent? If it is not urgent, how about staying in my Runan Village for ten days and a half? My eldest brother and I both like to make friends.

He is a hero, and my village still lacks a third boss. If Brother Xiao can stay, I will leave it to Brother Xiao!"

"This matter!" Xiao Zhuo thought about the purpose of You Junda's eagerness to retain someone, and he even did not hesitate to make him the third boss! "It's urgent, Mr. You, isn't it almost Qingming Festival now?

?I am rushing back to Lanling to worship my ancestors this time. If I stay here for a few days and encounter something like today on the way back, wouldn’t it mean that I can’t arrive until after the Qingming Festival?”

"Hey! Brother Xiao! You are wrong! Let me tell you, these eighteen villages along the Yellow River will come to an end when you reach my Runan Village! Further east, that is the territory of the patron king of Dengzhou Prefecture.

Son, no one dares to cause trouble there!"

Go east! Hearing You Junda's words, Xiao Zhuo was a little surprised. He had been walking southeast since he came out of the Taihang Mountains. Why did he still go astray in the past few days? He actually ended up west of Lanling!

"Master You Zhuang, may I ask what boundary this is? How many days does it take to get to Lanling?" After Xiao Zhuo asked, You Junda still replied drunkenly: "Here? Look at the name of my village, Runan Village! This used to be here.

Runan County, Brother Xiao, if you want to go to Lanling, then you have to walk east for two or three days on horseback..." After saying this, You Junda suddenly sat up straight and asked again: "Brother Xiao! What do you mean?

Are you going to Lanling? Or to worship your ancestors? Could it be you and the Lanling Xiao family..."

"To tell you the truth, Master You, that is my family, and the minister of the imperial court is my father." Xiao Zhuo told the truth, but when You Junda heard it, he bit his lips tightly and put his hands on the table.

He held it in the air a few times, and kept scratching on the table from time to time, looking very anxious.

Yes! You Junda was not anxious at this time, he was simply furious! Just a month ago, he received news from Dengzhou that the backer king Yang Lin was raising a batch of Huanggang, which would be shipped to the country in the near future.

Luoyang, the capital of the East, wanted to intercept these Huang Gang. But how could it be so easy to intercept the belongings of the patron king Yang Lin? Even if he did not need a large team of people to protect him, he would definitely send his confidants to escort them. And besides himself, he had

, basically there are no decent players. I finally got acquainted with Cheng Yaojin half a month ago, but found that Cheng Yaojin only had martial arts, but he didn’t know any martial arts. Seeing that the day was getting closer, he had been

It can be said that he was very worried. Today he heard that Cheng Yaojin had a fight with someone in the woods, so he hurried over to help in the fight. When he arrived, he saw Xiao Zhuo using twelve moves of the Tiangang Ax in a row, with unparalleled power and momentum.

Pi, he was so happy in his heart! At that time, he was thinking about how to keep Xiao Zhuo. But after a few conversations, he knew that Xiao Zhuo was not a straightforward person like Cheng Yaojin, so he planned to hold a big banquet.

I will persuade Xiao Zhuo to stay for a few more days. As long as Xiao Zhuo stays, no matter how delicious and delicious food he serves during the period, when the time comes to rob Huang Gang, Xiao Zhuo will be short-tempered and merciless, so he has to help himself no matter what.

Give it a try! But despite all his calculations, he failed to calculate that Xiao Zhuo was actually a member of the Xiao family of Lanling! The Xiao family of Lanling! Going forward, Xiao Zhuo is still a descendant of the former Xiliang royal family! Put it aside

Now, Xiao Meiniang of the Xiao family is the queen of the dynasty, and Xiao Zhuo can be regarded as a relative of the emperor! How could such a person work with him to rob his own things!

"Master You, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhuo asked when he saw You Junda behaving strangely.

"Oh! It's okay! Mr. Xiao, let's drink." Seeing that there was no hope of winning over him, You Junda also changed his name to Xiao Zhuo.

"By the way, Master You, I just heard what you said about the Nine Bends of the Yellow River and the Eighteen Villages..."

"Hey! There's no such thing as the Eighteenth Village! They're just a bunch of rabble, and they can't stand on the stage." Now that he knew Xiao Zhuo's identity, You Junda started to be wary when he spoke. After all, Xiao Zhuo was an official, and he, obviously

On the surface, he is the owner of Runan Village, but behind his back, there are rivers and lakes and green forests.

Xiao Zhuo naturally realized the change in You Junda's words. Xiao Zhuo thought about what he had experienced today and probably knew what You Junda was wary of. But what he wanted to ask was related to the safety of his brother. You Jun

If Da didn't want to see him anymore, he would still have to ask.

"Master You, I have nothing else to say. I just said that the Qingming Festival is approaching, and it is essential to sweep tombs and worship ancestors. But I am the fourth son of the family, and I came from Beiping Mansion this time, and I was not notified.

Family members in Luoyang, so during the Qingming Festival, my family will definitely send my brother to Lanling, and he will definitely pass by your Eighteen Villages." Xiao Zhuo said this and said no more. He believed that You Junda knew what he meant.

, and the other party is afraid of his identity, and he doesn't want to expose the other party's identity.

Originally, Xiao Zhuo was worried that You Junda would hesitate or reject him, but after hearing what he said, You Junda suddenly became attentive again. "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I still have some respect in the Jiuqu Yellow River area. I will go there tomorrow."

Send someone to the west to find your brother, and ensure that he reaches Lanling safely, and then you brothers will be reunited."

"So, Xiao Zhuo would like to thank Master You here first!" Xiao Zhuo quickly left his seat and bowed to express his thanks. After the ceremony, he heard You Junda say: "It's just Mr. Xiao, You also want to ask you for help with something.

, I hope you won’t refuse!”

Xiao Zhuo thought about it quickly in his mind, deciding that he had something worthy of You Junda's hard calculations. However, after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing.

"Master You, please tell me."

"Young Master Xiao, you are so happy! It's not that difficult. It's just that my brother has never been able to practice the ax well, and I can't swing his axe, so I can't teach him. Since Mr. Xiao can do it, I would like to ask him to teach him."
