Chapter 178 Life and Death Choice
Alcohol can boost courage. If I hadn't drunk a lot before, Lu Pingchuan might not have said this.
"Brother, you don't blame you for this matter." Nan Feng comforted him. Lu Pingchuan was the only person in charge. If he didn't say it, others would never know it. The reason why he wanted to say it was because it was like a thorn in his heart. Although no one knew it, he could not pass the level of conscience.
"Don't I blame anyone? If it were you, would you do this?" Lu Pingchuan blamed himself.
Nanfeng did not answer immediately. He had no intention of fame and fortune, and his purpose was different, so the path he chose was naturally different.
The fat man answered, "Brother, you asked this, how good is he and Big Eyes. If it were him, he would probably have been hiding where to live with his big eyes."
Lu Pingchuan sighed to the sky, "I must find Mo Li back. I have to tell him in person that my elder brother is wrong."
Nanfeng was originally dissatisfied with Lu Pingchuan sending Mo Li to others, but now Lu Pingchuan said frankly that heartfelt and made his grudges disappear, "Brother, you left that ten taels of silver for big eyes to live, not for yourself, you did not do this at all."
"Don't excuse me." Lu Pingchuan shook his head slowly, "If I hadn't been in a hurry to learn martial arts, I would not have starved to death with Mo Li with big eyes."
The two did not respond, and Lu Pingchuan said it was indeed the truth. But he did have difficulties. He learned martial arts and became an official not just for himself. He always wanted to overturn the case for his father. Everyone has his own difficulties. Only he can understand that others cannot empathize with it.
The fat man picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Lu Pingchuan, "Brother, when will you go to the army to fight?"
"It's almost half a month at most." Lu Pingchuan replied.
Nanfeng knew that the fat man wanted to change the topic, so he agreed and helped him, and the topic became more and more distant.
Lu Pingchuan was young and successful, and he was very proud of his words. They were not surprised by the two. When they were young, Lu Pingchuan was like this. He regarded himself as his elder brother and tried hard to protect his brothers and sisters. Sometimes when everyone was bullied, he went to avenge everyone, but he didn't say anything about his losses, and only reported good news but not bad news.
Knowing that Lu Pingchuan had this habit, Nanfeng was worried that he would not be able to deal with the matter between the two, so he mentioned it again. Lu Pingchuan asked the details again, and after careful consideration, he waved his hand, "It's okay, I have a way to cover it with me."
The dishes were cold at the end of the banquet, but the three brothers were not concerned about the food, and their hearts were filled with the joy of reunion. The three were poor and humble friends, and they were sworn brothers. This friendship was far beyond the ordinary friends.
Among the three, Nanfeng had the best alcohol content, Lu Pingchuan was the second, and fat man was the worst. At the end of the drink, the fat man fell asleep on the table, leaving only Nanfeng and Lu Pingchuan talking. However, although the two were talking, they both had a big tongue. Fortunately, the brothers did not lose their composure after drinking, and they spoke freely, without having to focus on their tone to consider the words.
Near noon, the servant who went to Sima Mansion to deliver the letter came back. A middle-aged man in his forties came back with him. Seeing this person coming, Lu Pingchuan stood up and introduced to both parties, "This is my third senior brother, whose surname is Cui, his sword technique is Gao Jue, and he is nicknamed Yi Jian Zhui. These two are my sworn brothers, this is Nanfeng." When he said that he pushed the fat man, he did not wake up, "This is Zhengde."
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Nanfeng when he heard this, looked up and down, then turned to Lu Pingchuan to make a gesture. Lu Pingchuan understood and went out to the side hall with him.
Nanfeng drank a lot of wine and was a little confused. He sat on the wooden chair and felt drowsy. I don’t know how long it took, but Lu Pingchuan came back and pushed him up, “I’ll go to Sima’s Mansion, you go to the backyard room to rest first.”
Nanfeng responded and helped the fat man with a servant to the backyard.
After sleeping for an afternoon, they woke up one after another when they entered the update. Two new sets of clothes were placed on the table in the room, complete with the outside and inside, and even the waist rope was new.
I asked the mailbox and learned that Lu Pingchuan had not come back yet.
The servant brought the two of them porridge, rice and snacks. They ate some simple things, sobered up their drinking tea in their room, and waited for Lu Pingchuan to come back.
It was not until the second update that Lu Pingchuan came back. After entering the door, he sat at the table and chatted with the two of them.
As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and nature is hard to change. The three of them grew up together and they are familiar with each other's temperament. Nan Feng keenly noticed that Lu Pingchuan was worried and guessed that Lu Pingchuan might be difficult to deal with the lawsuit between the two, so he took the initiative to propose to go back to Dali Temple with the fat man and allow Lu Pingchuan to operate from outside.
Lu Pingchuan waved his hand and only let the two live in the mansion without having to go back to the Dali Temple prison.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Lu Pingchuan got up and left, and the two took off their shoes and went to bed.
"Brother seems to have something to worry about." The fat man also noticed that Lu Pingchuan had something to worry about.
"We are criminals, and it is very difficult for the elder brother to deal with it." Nan Feng said. Lu Pingchuan had always wanted to maintain his elder brother's image in front of these younger brothers and sisters. He could not say that his face was wrong, but like at the gate of Dali Temple, Lu Pingchuan's attitude towards the Imperial Guard was a bit too much, but in fact he could do this matter more obscurely.
"It's all your fault. Why are you catching a monster if you're fine?" The fat man complained.
Nanfeng did not respond. The fat man said the truth. He stayed in Yuxian honestly and did not have this matter. After thinking about it carefully, the matter was too anxious. Half of his move to the ruined temple was to do something for his big eyes, and half of it was to copy the words on the bronze bell, and then he took the bronze bell to exchange for qi-replenishing pills with Uncle Wang.
Lu Pingchuan was anxious to overturn the verdict of his father and to show his ambitions. He was also anxious to practice and practice Qi, to overturn the verdict for Tian Yuanzi, and to repay the teacher's kindness. The methods were different, but the nature was actually the same.
The next morning, the two got up early, washed and changed into the clothes prepared by Lu Pingchuan for the two. They really relied on their clothes and horses and saddles. After changing into clean clothes, they felt energetic.
The two were in spirit, but Lu Pingchuan obviously lost his energy. Although he tried hard to hold on, he could not hide the deep worries between his eyebrows.
Nanfeng and the fat man noticed Lu Pingchuan's worries and asked to go back to Dali Temple again. Lu Pingchuan frowned and glared, "What's going on when you go back there? Can you feel uncomfortable if you don't become a prisoner?"
Seeing that Lu Pingchuan was stern, the two did not dare to mention this matter again. After breakfast, the three brothers drank tea and talked again. This time, Lu Pingchuan began to ask about the two of them’s previous experiences. The fat man knew about Nanfeng’s previous words and what happened to Lu Pingchuan before meeting Nanfeng, and what happened to them after they got together.
This scale is difficult to grasp because even the fat man doesn't know some things. After considering them, Nanfeng decided to hide from Tianyuanzi and Turtle Gua Tianshu, and the rest of the matters are all about the truth.
While talking, Lu Pingchuan asked if the two of them had any favorite women. The fat man replied, "No, and Nanfeng also replied, "No."
The fat man curled his lips and corrected it, saying that the south wind often encounters peach blossoms, and he explained everything he knows in detail.
The fat man is often addicted to the truth, and Nan Feng is too lazy to correct him, so he can say it.
After hearing this, Lu Pingchuan stopped asking about anything else, but the worries between his eyebrows became increasingly intense.
In the afternoon, Lu Pingchuan went to Dali Temple and did not come back until the evening. He was depressed and distracted.
It is logical that my brothers live in the mansion and should have dinner together, but Lu Pingchuan did not eat with them. After he came back, he kept locked himself in the study and no one was allowed to disturb him.
Seeing that Lu Pingchuan was so worried, the two felt even more guilty. They wanted to go back to Dali Temple by themselves, but were worried that they would break Lu Pingchuan's arrangements. I don't know how far Lu Pingchuan pushed this matter forward.
With anxiety in mind, the two of them turned off the lights early. At the third o'clock, there was a knock on the door outside, and Lu Pingchuan called on them to get up for a late afternoon snack.
Lu Pingchuan felt a little energetic and a little smile on his face. Nanfeng asked about the lawsuit, and Lu Pingchuan waved his hand, "I will send you away tonight. It is not a big deal to get rid of one or two prisoners in Dali Temple."
Nanfeng was worried and worried that he would implicate Lu Pingchuan. Lu Pingchuan said, "I have my own idea if I follow my arrangements."
The midnight snack is very rich, with eight vegetables, four with four o'clock, and a banquet hall is set up.
"This is the royal tribute. I have made meritorious contributions to the Grand Sima rewarded me. I have never been willing to treat it to guests." Lu Pingchuan pointed to the wood carved wine jar on the table.
"Brother, stop wasting it, we can't drink any good or bad." The fat man was uneasy.
"Brother, if we leave, how do you explain to the superiors?" Nan Feng was worried about the lawsuit.
Lu Pingchuan didn't answer either. He took the wine jar, pulled out the block, and poured wine for the two of them.
This tribute wine is indeed delicious, and it is mellow in the mouth, just like the spring breeze blowing on the face or the warm sun. It is a rare wine.
Although the tribute wine was good, the jar was small. After only two rounds, the bottom of the jar was left. It was inconvenient to pour it into the wine pot.
"I have to send you away tonight." Lu Pingchuan's eyes were confused.
"Brother, will you really not cause trouble for you?" Nan Feng asked.
"You are still worried about whether you will cause trouble for me until now." Lu Pingchuan was confused and dazed.
"Brother is more reliable than you." The fat man continued, and afterwards, he said, "Brother, I want to go back to the temple before leaving. Five or six years have passed in the blink of an eye. I often dream about the land temple."
Lu Pingchuan frowned when he heard this.
"Brother, have you been back?" the fat man asked again.
Lu Pingchuan nodded.
"Has the ruined temple been occupied by other beggars?" The fat man reached out to get the wine pot.
Just as the fat man grabbed the wine pot, Lu Pingchuan held his hand.
The fat man looked at Lu Pingchuan in confusion.
