The Counterattack of the Villains

At this time, there was a long queue in front of the water well. Many traveling merchants were waiting to buy water. Liu Nirong and others also went straight to the queue.

Xu Fengnian didn't pay much attention to the well. He was attracted by another thing.

Not far from the well, about in the center of the city gate, there is a tall and strong Bodhi tree.

This bodhi tree has lush foliage and provides a wide range of shade.

Many people were enjoying the shade under the Bodhi tree, and there were also some naughty children climbing on the trees. Most of them looked like locals.

The bodhi tree is not a rare tree species. Xu Fengnian has seen many of them, and they can be found in many temples.

But this thing should never appear in Yanhuiguan. The temperature difference between day and night is huge in the desert, and the sandy soil is too dry.

The growth of the bodhi tree requires stable temperatures and moist and soft soil. Neither the climate nor the land here is suitable for the growth of the bodhi tree.

But this Bodhi tree not only survived, but also grew so lush and full of vitality.

Xu Fengnian, who was very curious, walked towards the bodhi tree.

He first walked around the bodhi tree, but couldn't see any clues. Then he stretched out his hand and touched it. It was no different from an ordinary bodhi tree.

He thought for a while, and secretly brought up a stream of true energy to be injected into the tree. The next moment, his expression changed, and his palms suddenly retracted as if they were electrocuted.

He looked at the Bodhi tree in surprise. Just as his Qi entered the tree, a counterattack force surged out from the tree, and he suddenly felt a pain like a needle pricking in his palm.

In addition, he also sensed a warning from the tree.

A tree warning him not to cause trouble?

Could it be that this bodhi tree has become a spirit?

Xu Fengnian became interested and secretly wondered if there was any chance in this tree.

"The steamed buns are white and white."

Just when his interest in the bodhi tree greatly increased and he was about to study it carefully, this sentence suddenly came from behind him.

Xu Fengnian blurted out conditionedly: "A girl's hand can't be whitened."

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and was immediately ecstatic.

Then he saw Wen Hua, the boy, looking at him with a mean smile. He gestured with his hands and continued: "The tip of the lotus is curled up."

Xu Fengnian also made the same gestures with him and said the same words: "I can't lift my eyebrows."

By the time they finished speaking, the two of them had come together, laughing and laughing, each stretching out a hand and punching the other in the chest.

"The surname is Xu. I would say that the world is very small. No, we meet again."

In fact, Wen Hua had been waiting for him for several days. When Bu Jingyun told him that Xu Fengnian had left Beiliang and came to the border of Liangmang, he counted the time and felt that it was about the same, so he came to the well every day.

If you want to go from Beiliang to Beimang, Yanhuiguan is the only way to go, and the Yanhuiguan well is a must-see.

Because from Yanhuiguan to Liucheng, there is only one place where you can replenish drinking water.

Doesn't this make him wait?

"Why are you here? Judging from your character, you are doing well."

Xu Fengnian looked at Wen Hua with surprise. Today's Wen Hua is completely different from the down-and-out ranger he remembered.

Although he was dressed in gray cloth, which was not made of expensive material, it was much better than the shabby and shabby clothes he wore before.

The messy hair on his head is now neatly styled, and he has a long beard and hair style that is most popular in Jianghu Shaoxia.

The wooden sword in his hand, which was only worth a few cents, has been replaced by a three-foot green blade.

The most important thing is that he actually felt a sword intention from Wen Hua, and his whole body was like a sharp sword, exuding a sharp aura.

Such warmth is like being reborn.

At this moment, he remembered that when they met in Xiangfan last year, he said that he would come to the Liangmang border for a walk and take advantage of the chaos on the border to cultivate his sword spirit.

So he was successful?

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but feel happy for his good brother.

Wen Hua crossed his arms across his chest, held his sword in his arms, and said triumphantly: "What? Just allow your kid to have a chance, but I can't have any adventures?"

Xu Fengnian was about to ask him what adventure he had had, when Liu Nirong, who was originally going to buy water, came over with a sullen expression on her face and her face flushed with anger.

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian suppressed herself and asked Liu Nirong, "What's wrong?"

Liu Nirong said angrily: "The water seller is just a bastard. I'd rather trouble you to deal with him."

Xu Fengnian said funnyly: "Who made you so good-looking? Are you in trouble again?"

Liu Nirong glared at him and said angrily: "Are you going or not?"

Xu Fengnian met Wen Hua by chance and was in a very good mood. He didn't care about the tone of her words, which was beyond the level of friendship between them.

"Go, go, go in a while, I won't make you thirsty."

Wen Hua looked at Liu Nirong, then at Xu Fengnian, and suddenly said angrily: "Xu, are you flirting with others outside again?"

"Where is my sister Qingniao? If you dare to apologize to her, see if I dare to deal with you."

Back in Xiangfan, for the first time in his life, someone called him "Master", and it was the blue bird's call.

As for the young master, Qingniao is his sister in Wen Hua's eyes, and no one can bully her.

Xu Fengnian's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he didn't change his surname when he gave the pseudonym, otherwise he would have been exposed this time.

Now his pseudonym is Xu Qi, so Wen Hua has no problem calling him "Xu".

But if he calls out his full name, it's all over and he can just go home.

Afraid that Wen Hua would say something revealing about him, Xu Fengnian quickly said: "It's not what you think, this..."

Before he could finish his explanation, Liu Nirong took the lead and said: "This young master has misunderstood. I have nothing to do with Mr. Xu. It's just a business cooperation."

Wen Hua looked at Xu Fengnian and confirmed: "Is this really the case?"

Xu Fengnian nodded repeatedly and said: "It's more real than real gold."

Wen Hua's attitude suddenly changed. He smiled and clasped his fist at Liu Nirong and said, "My lord, Wen Hua, what do you call this heroine?"

Seeing that Wen Hua didn't call him girl or mistress, but called her heroine, and performed courteous courtesies in an upright manner, Liu Nirong felt quite fond of him.

He then clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Little girl Liu Nirong, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you. Heroine, you want to buy some water, right? Come with me." After Wen Hua and Liu Nirong saw the greetings, they waved their hands and walked towards the well.

Liu Nirong's eyes flashed upon seeing this, and she subconsciously looked at Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian also said with great interest: "Let's go, I want to see what kind of person he is now."

What he saw next surprised Xu Fengnian, but Liu Nirong was overjoyed because the matter was easily solved.

When Wen Hua walked to the well, everyone, including the water vendors and the helpers in the thatched hut, stood up to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Wen."

"I've met Mr. Wen."

Wen Hua waved his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, we are all brothers, so you are welcome."

After saying that, he turned around and waved to Liu Nirong, who quickly walked a few steps and rushed to his side.

Wen Hua stretched out his hand to Liu Nirong and said: "Brothers, please recognize and remember clearly, this, Liu Nirong and Liu Nvxia, my friend, from now on she will be free to fetch water, no problem?"

The water vendor nodded and bowed with a smile: "No problem, no problem, Mr. Wen's friends are our friends."

Liu Nirong was overjoyed. Wen Hua's words would leave her with dozens of taels of silver.

For their small family, the Yulong Gang, a few dozen taels of silver is not a small amount.

Although she was secretly happy in her heart, she did not show it on her face. She just said to Wen Hua with a normal smile, "Thank you so much, Brother Wen."

She stretched out her hand to the two young helpers who followed her to get water, and the helpers quickly handed over the water bags.

Liu Nirong took the water bag and handed it to the water vendor, saying: "Thank you."

The hawker took the water bag and said with an apologetic smile: "The little one just now has eyes for gold and jade, and he offended the heroine with his words. I hope the heroine won't take it to heart."

Liu Nirong said nonchalantly: "Don't take it to heart even if it's a small misunderstanding."

The water vendor said gratefully: "The heroine is generous, the little one will fill it with water."

Seeing Liu Nirong's response, Xu Fengnian's eyes showed appreciation.

This woman is not stupid at all. She also knows how to take advantage of the situation. Just now she was Young Master Wen, and now she has become Brother Wen.

Although he was obviously very happy, he could remain calm, which meant that he could not express his emotions or anger.

If this woman didn't die in her infancy, she would have a promising future.

After the water bags of the Yulong Gang were all filled, Wen Hua said to the water vendors and the gang members in the town: "You are busy, I will take my friends to have a meal."

The water vendor hurriedly said: "Master Wen, walk slowly."

After leaving the well, Wen Hua looked at the sun and smiled at Liu Nirong: "Since Liu Nixia has come to Yanhui Pass, I should do my best to be a landlord. I will treat Liu Nirong to dinner."

Liu Nirong smiled and said: "Young Master Wen has already helped me so much, why do you have the nerve to ask Mr. Wen to spend money again? I'd rather hire Mr. Wen."

Wen Hua waved his hand and said: "They say it's just a courtesy to the landlord, how can we ask the guests to pay? It doesn't make sense."

Seeing this, Liu Nirong stopped insisting and said with fists in her arms: "Thank you so much, Brother Wen."

In fact, Wen Hua still had something to say. The food in Yanhuiguan was not cheap, especially for outsiders.

After a meal, the inn will charge you thirty-fifty taels instead of one hundred and eighty taels. The little money she saved by buying water may not be enough to pay.

But for locals, the price is very reasonable. A good meal only costs half a pound at most, which is equivalent to four cents of silver.

Xu Fengnian walked side by side with Wen Hua, always thinking about how to remind Wen Hua not to reveal his true identity.

But Wen Hua only focused on talking to Liu Nirong and ignored him at all. This made Xu Fengnian feel at ease and did not take the initiative to talk to him.

Watching from the sidelines, Xu Fengnian's heart moved. Could it be that he has fallen in love with this guy "again"?

It's not impossible. During his three-year travels, Wen Hua traveled with him for several months and fell in love with several girls.

Among them was a man who wanted to compete in a martial arts competition. He didn't even have the skills of a three-legged cat, but he dared to get into the ring. He was also quite strong.

Naturally, he was carried back by Xu Fengnian.

Although it was easy for this boy to fall in love with a certain girl, Xu Fengnian knew that everyone he fell in love with was sincerely in love with her.

If he could catch him, he would definitely treat him wholeheartedly.

However, every girl he likes is not qualified to covet as a knight-errant like him.

Let’s just talk about Liu Nirong. Even though she is just the eldest lady of a third-rate gang in Longqing County, Lingzhou.

But in the past, it was also not accessible to Wen Hua.

Now that Wen Hua has flown onto the branches, there is a possibility.

How about helping them match up?

"Hey, hey, Xu, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Fengnian came back to his senses and looked up. It turned out that he had slowed down unknowingly and fell far behind as he was thinking about it.

At this time, Wen Hua and Liu Nirong were already standing in front of a restaurant.

Xu Fengnian grinned, stepped forward quickly, and said nonchalantly: "I didn't think about anything, I just looked at it from behind. I feel that you two look quite good together."

As soon as he said these words, the two accomplices who followed Liu Nirong with water bags all over their bodies suddenly looked at Xu Fengnian like knives.

Liu Nirong is Bai Yueguang in the eyes of the entire Yulong Gang's young gang. Even if they know there is no hope for themselves, they don't want to see her fall into the arms of others.

Xu Fengnian's words at this time naturally aroused their dissatisfaction.

Liu Nirong herself blushed slightly, but she didn't say anything. It wasn't that she meant anything to Wen Hua, it was just that as her daughter's family, she couldn't accept such words, and it was inappropriate no matter how she responded.

Wen Hua saw Liu Nirong's embarrassment and took the initiative to speak out: "Xu, don't talk nonsense with this mandarin duck. In case Liu Nvxia already has a sweetheart, wouldn't it be embarrassing for everyone if you say this?

"

Yeah, it seems like this guy is really interested in me.

Xu Fengnian chuckled and said: "I only said that you seem to be a good match, and I didn't say anything else. There are so many men and women in the world who seem to be a good match but can't get together."

"Hey, I said you..."

Liu Nirong interrupted Wen Hua and said, "Brother Wen, don't pay attention to this scoundrel."

Wen Hua nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. There is no more rogue person in the world than this guy. Just ignore him. Let's go in first."

Liu Nirong nodded and walked into the restaurant first. Xu Fengnian was unhappy and stepped forward to argue: "Hey, you kid, you have to make this clear. How can I have you as a rogue?"

When Liu Nirong and the two gang members entered the restaurant, Xu Fengnian suddenly approached Wen Hua and whispered quickly: "My name is Xu Qi now, you kid, please don't reveal my identity."

Wen Hua looked at him with disdain and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? You, a Northern Liang prince, come to the border of Liangmang, how can you openly tell others that you are Xu Fengnian?"

Xu Fengnian tilted his head back tactically, pretending to be surprised and said: "Oh, I didn't see it. I haven't seen you in more than a year, and you have become smarter."

Wen Hua shook his head and threw his long hair that was draped over his shoulders towards Xu Fengnian. As he walked towards the restaurant, he said, "What a joke, I've always been smarter than you, right?"

"Why don't you just stay behind and take care of me every time you cause trouble? Lao Huang and I will be fine?"

Xu Fengnian said angrily: "What do you call smart? You mean you can run faster than me."

"Hey, who dares to say that running fast is not smart?"

The two of them quarreled as they stepped into the restaurant. When the shopkeeper behind the counter saw Wen Hua, he quickly walked out of the counter to greet him and said, "Have you met Mr. Wen before? Are you still following the same rules?"

There is no doubt that this restaurant is also run by the Hualong Gang.

Wen Hua smiled and said: "I'm not following the old rules this time. I brought my friends over for dinner. The table was filled with good wine and good food, and it was recorded in Feiyuntang's account."

The shopkeeper had no objection and responded respectfully: "Okay, please take a seat upstairs."

Wen Hua's arrogance made Xu Fengnian look at him more curiously. It seemed that this guy had a high status in Yanhuiguan.

Feiyuntang? What kind of force is that? Why is there never any relevant information in Beiliang's spies?
