The twilight is getting thicker, and the golden light makes the suddenly deserted long street feel extremely lazy, as if it were just the beginning of summer. I always feel that it is best to sleep. The long stone bridge paved with bluestones seems to be penetrated through the seams.

There is a warmth that urges people to go back.

There was no one in the inn that was always busy in the past few days. There was only a shopkeeper taking a nap next to the counter, and a waiter was cleaning the cups. When he saw Du Ruo coming in, he hurriedly shouted: "Master Du is back."

Du Ruo has lived in this inn for a long time, and he is the only one in the inn. Everyone in the inn, whether it is the cook, waiter, or shopkeeper, knows him.

The waiter's voice woke up the shopkeeper, who also said hello.

Du Ruo responded with a smile and went upstairs. As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he suddenly stopped again, turned to the counter, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Ma, there is no need to send sandalwood to my room tomorrow.

"

"Ah, Mr. Du, are you not satisfied with this sandalwood?" Shopkeeper Ma asked.

In order for Du Ruo to sleep calmly and not suffer from insomnia, he asked to light sandalwood every day after coming to the inn. The shopkeeper also went to the temple to buy it for Du Ruo every day. He has never stopped doing it for nearly a month.

"That's not true," Du Ruo chuckled, "I'll be leaving tomorrow."

"Ouch," Shopkeeper Ma slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, haha!"

Du Ruo smiled and went upstairs. Just after taking two steps, Wang Que suddenly appeared above. When he saw Du Ruo, he shouted: "Brother Du, you came back a little late!"

Du Ruo asked in confusion: "What does Brother Wang mean by this?"

Wang Que walked down slowly and said: "Just before Yiyixiang, Xue Captou came to see you, but because he didn't know when you would come back, he left first and asked me to bring you a message.

She has something important to do and has left Jinling. Please take care of yourself."

While Wang Que was talking, he sat down to pour tea, yawned and said, "Brother Du, what is your relationship with Xue Baotou? Are you two the same..."

"Where did she go?" Du Ruo asked.

"Ah, oh, over there..." Wang Que pointed in the distance.

Du Ruo ran out without thinking.

Watching Du Ruo leave in a hurry, Wang Que held the tea cup, curled his lips, and muttered: "If you still refuse to admit it, there must be adultery, there must be adultery!"

Of course, the biggest gain from coming to Jinling is that all my dreams came true and I got the title of Juren. However, this is not the happiest thing. The biggest surprise is meeting this girl named Hong Yi in Jinling.

Du Ruo originally thought of saying goodbye tomorrow, but now he has missed even this goodbye.

He will return to Shuzhong soon, and the journey will be thousands of miles.

Whether we can see each other again in the future depends on fate.

So, this farewell of acquaintance,

It's really a pity that I missed it.

…………

At the gate of Jinling North City, Xue Hongyi rode a bay-red horse, accompanied by twenty or thirty people, heading out of the city in a mighty manner.

"Sir," a policeman beside Xue Hongyi said: "This matter of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect should be a matter of the military. Why did the superiors let our Ji Xing Division take care of it?"

Xue Hongyi rolled her eyes at the policeman and said, "What trouble happened in Suzhou that I shouldn't be responsible for, Director Xing?"

"No, no," the policeman explained: "That's not what I meant. I'm just a little confused. In the past, when I found out that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect were suppressed directly by the army, why did we let us join the Xing Division this time?"

Xue Hongyi said: "Don't worry, we won't let you fight with the White Lotus Sect. We just don't have enough people to fill people's teeth. We are just cooperating with the military investigation. Don't worry about the rest.

, we will know when the time comes.”

Under the setting sun, the last golden touch fell on the city wall, slightly illuminating the splashed dust.

Just as Xue Hongyi was leaving the city, five people came towards her on horseback from outside the city, causing a lot of dust. When they arrived at the city gate, those people dismounted and were inspected before getting on again.

Xue Hongyi stared at the group of people. The leader was a very burly young man, carrying a big halberd and an iron rod as thick as a bowl on his back.

As they passed each other, Xue Hongyi looked at each other and the leader of the other party looked at each other, and it was immediately clear that this person was a master, very tall.

A quick glance and passed by.

"drive!"

After leaving the city, Xue Hongyi whipped the horse on the buttocks and galloped away.

The young man carrying the big halberd suddenly turned around and glanced back. A person next to him asked: "Master Lu, is there any problem?"

"No, I just saw a master."

"Master? If Daxia Lu can be called a master, he must be a figure in the world."

"No matter how many things there are, I hope Shan Jiang succeeds in the provincial examination and is still in Jinling!"

"My gang leader Wen Quxing will be in high school when he comes to earth!"

The young man carrying the spurge was Lu Yang who had escorted Meng Qingping and Gu's mother and daughter to the capital before. The other people with him were the four Juyi gang members that Du Ruo had sent to help before.

When they were in Jinling before, the gang members knew where Du Ruo lived, and they even found Du Ruo's Inn, so the group rushed straight to Zhuangyuan Street in a hurry.

After getting off his horse and entering the inn, Lu Yang walked to the counter and asked directly: "Housekeeper, do you have a guest named Du Ruo here?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Yang, a little timid for no reason, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, but Young Master Du just went out. If you want to know where he went, you have to ask that Young Master."

Lu Yang frowned, turned around, and saw Wang Que sitting by the window drinking tea. His eyes suddenly froze. He and Wang Que had met once before. At the first sight, he felt like

Wang Que was a dangerous person, and now that Wang Que accidentally got involved with Du Ruo, he felt inexplicably nervous.

By coincidence, Wang Que also heard the commotion here. He also remembered Lu Yang and knew that he was Du Ruo's friend, so he smiled slightly and was very kind.

Lu Yang's heart suddenly thumped.

What does this person mean when he laughs obscenely?

Is it possible that you are provoking? Or did you know that I was coming today and was waiting for me on purpose?

Doesn't that mean that mountain ginger is in danger?

"Fuck, what are you doing!"

Wang Que was smiling and was about to stand up to say hello, but before he could stand up, he saw the man opposite him actually stepped down, rose into the air, and punched down with his fist.

That fist is as big as a casserole!

Wang Que was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided it.

"Boom"

There was a loud noise, and a table broke into pieces. Flying debris flew all over the inn, punctured many wine jars, and shattered the window paper.

Lu Yang stamped his feet again and punched Wang Que directly in the face, who had just stood up. The strong wind deformed Wang Que's face, and his lips swayed as if he was going for a ride.

"Big brother, big brother, I am Du Ruo's younger brother!" Wang Que shouted hurriedly.

The strong wind stopped, and the casserole fist stopped half an inch in front of Wang Que's forehead, and his swaying long hair fell down. Wang Que breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said very aggrievedly: "What's going on with you people? Just come on.

If you want to hit me, someone will hit me, who have I provoked?"

Lu Yang slowly retracted his fist and said, "Then why are you smiling at me?"

"How could I not," Wang Que said unconvinced, "I was smiling, is that a good smile? When I smiled at you, it was showing my kindness, and yet you hit me!"

Lu Yang cupped his hands and said: "Your martial arts are very high. I will definitely be suspicious if you appear next to my brother. However, if my brother comes later and everything becomes clear, I will definitely apologize to you if I am wrong."

!”

Wang Que pursed his lips, lying on the other table in despair, muttering: "It's my fault that my martial arts skills are high, I admit it, but my smile is so pretty..."

Seeing Wang Que's appearance, Lu Yang felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, just at this embarrassing moment, Du Ruo came back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Yang and said in surprise: "Brother, you are back... Uh, this

What's going on? Were you robbed?"

"Master Du!" The trembling shopkeeper rushed out, crying.
