"Sworn sworn homage?" Yang Xi, Ling Huhua and Song Xin were all startled. But Yang Di immediately laughed and said, "Okay! This is a good idea!"
Seeing that Song Xin and Linghuhua didn't object, Zhong Yu said, "Brother Song and Guo Mu were sworn sworn friends, so how about we count them in together with Guo Mu?"
Linghuhua looked ashamed and nodded hurriedly: "I received a letter from Brother Guo yesterday, asking me to take care of Brother Song in Piyong. But I was so angry that I didn't notice that Song Xin was Brother Guo. That person. I think Brother Zhong’s method is good, even if Guo Mu is here he will agree without hesitation!”
Seeing that there was no objection, everyone walked to the Mishui River together, found incense and candles, and swore to the river god that they could not live together, but that they would die together and become sworn brothers.
Guo Mu was the eldest, followed by Yang Xi, Zhong Yu, and Linghu Hua. Song Xin was the youngest and became the younger brother. Then everyone exchanged tokens. Song Xin had already asked Song Yu to prepare three swords before making the sworn vows, and he took them out and gave them to them one by one. The three of them also gave Song Xin a jade pendant, a short sword, and a bead box from the Linghu family.
A few people were in a good mood, so they sat down by the river, bought wine and meat, drank and sang happily. Hearing that Song Xin had to live with a servant because he didn't have a letter of recommendation, Zhong Yu patted his chest and said, "Brother Song, I will send someone home immediately and ask my father to write a letter of recommendation for you, so that you don't have to deal with these people." The servants live together. You have to suffer for a few days. When the letter of recommendation is delivered, I will take you to find Piyongcheng."
Yang Xi then said: "Yes, you can live with us when the time comes, and you will save yourself from the anger of those villains Zhou Wenzhi and Wei Qian."
"Then I'd like to thank my brothers. I'll thank you here first. In fact, I'm quiet and comfortable down there, so there's nothing wrong with it."
Linghuhua said: "By the way, brothers, we originally belonged to different book societies. Why don't we merge from now on? What do you think?"
"Book club?" Song Xin was startled and didn't understand what it meant.
Seeing that he didn't know what he meant, Zhong Yu explained, "The imperial court has ordered that students are not allowed to form parties in Piyong. But if several people are like-minded, they can form a book club in the name of studying classics, history and calligraphy. As long as they don't If something outrageous happens, no one will care about it. Brother Yang and I, Brother Linghu and Brother Guo originally belonged to different societies."
Linghuhua nodded, "Brother Zhong, your father is a master of calligraphy. How about we form a society in the name of studying calligraphy?"
Yang Di immediately clapped his hands and agreed, "Okay, I think this is a good idea. Let's study calligraphy with Brother Zhong. What can others say?"
Song Xin nodded and said: "I have heard that Dr. Zhong's books have three unique features: stone inscriptions, articles of association, and bank deposits. Why not call it Mingzhang Bookstore? What do you think?"
Yang Xi immediately agreed: "Well, this is a good name! I didn't expect that my dear brother is quite knowledgeable in calligraphy, but I don't know how to interpret inscription stones, articles of association, and bank deposits?"
Several people, including Zhong Yu, also felt fresh. It's not surprising that they were surprised, because it came from "Able to Write Names of People in Ancient Times" written by Yang Xin of Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Song Xin once read this book. Speaking of this Yang Xin, he is actually the descendant of Yang Di's eldest brother Yang Mi.
Song Xin thought for a while and then said: "The inscribed stone script means that if a gentleman is dignified in the court and behaves aboveboard in foreign affairs, it can be inscribed on the rocks and passed down for generations to come. The charter book is an eight-point script, also known as official script." It means that when a gentleman assists his superior, he should be impartial in his internal affairs, and he should keep eight points in his dealings with his colleagues. The word "Xingzhi" is a running script, which means that a gentleman should follow his heart's desire, but not exceed the rules."
After Song Xin said this, everyone was stunned for a long time and said nothing, especially Zhong Yao. He did not expect that Song Xin's understanding of Zhong Yao's calligraphy had even surpassed his own.
"Ashamed...

." Zhong Yu sighed and suddenly saluted Song Xin, "I'm going to be taught today. The three names mentioned by my dear brother, namely, inscription stone, charter, and execution, can indeed capture the essence of the three styles of Kai, Li, and Xing in my father's calligraphy. I must tell him. If he heard this comment from Brother Song, he would definitely be happy too! "
"Brother, that's a compliment." Song Xin returned the gesture.
Yang Di stood up and said: "Okay, then the club we form from now on will be called Mingzhang Book Club!"
After finishing their food and wine, they got on their horses and prepared to go back. After walking along the river for a while, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the north. Soon after, I saw dust heads rising. A group of people and horses move from far to near. There were fifteen or sixteen people in this team, with several pack horses behind them and some property and food on them. There were also several girls whose heads were covered with black cloth, who were tied up and placed on horses.
When they saw Yang Di and others, the leading rider slowed down and approached slowly. Judging from their direction, they should be heading to Zhujia Town. With a solemn look on his face, Yang Di ordered people to retreat to the roadside. He put his hand on the hilt of his knife and stood on his horse, staring at the thieves with vigilance. All the young masters, attendants, and retainers behind him put their hands on the swords at their waists.
Seeing them approaching slowly, Yang Di reminded in a low voice: "Be careful, these are the men of the Northern Thief Commander San Feng."
Song Xin raised his eyebrows, confused, "San Feng? Feng Bao?"
Zhong Yu explained: "The three Feng are Feng Bao, Feng Hu, and Feng Biao. These three people are all from the Baibo Army and have lived here. They are all ruthless people."
When Song Xin heard Feng Biao and Feng Hu, he understood in his heart. "Is Feng Bao among them?"
Yang Di looked at it carefully and shook his head, "They should have come out to rob."
When the two groups of people passed by each other, pairs of eyes looked at each other. They looked at each other warily, but neither stopped, and went in opposite directions. The thieves saw that the people on Song Xin's side were well-dressed and had strong horses, so they guessed that they were the young masters from Piyong.
However, although these people are villains, they are not stupid either. These young men have huge family protection behind them. Before the bandits rob them, they really have to weigh their own strength. If several big families join forces to encircle and suppress him, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Song Xin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that someone in the bandit team saw him. He immediately frowned and shouted: "Leader, wait a moment!"
"What's the matter!?" The leading thief turned his horse's head and stopped.
"This is the boy who killed the third master Feng Biao and captured the second master in Zhujia Town!"
Song Xin also recognized this person at this time. He was one of the bandits who was beside Feng Biao that day. If Butler Zhu hadn't interfered at that time, he would have eradicated them.
The leader of the thieves sneered, "We are surrounded by enemies on a narrow road."
Yang Di rode his horse forward and shouted: "What are you going to do!"
The leader of the thieves put away his ferocious expression, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I wonder which young master you are? Tell me your name."
"Thai goat!"
"Yang Ye?" The bandit leader was secretly surprised, and then said: "I am Du Ze, the vanguard of Brother Feng Bao. I have heard of your name. We are not here to see Mr. Yang today, but we just want to ask a few questions. Ask this little brother." The big man said a little bit about Song Xin.
Song Xin didn't wait for Yang Xi to speak, then he rode forward and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The escaping bandit said loudly next to Du Ze: "The leader, it's him, I won't admit my mistake!" This group of bandits did not take this road originally, but after finishing the robbery, they wanted to go to Zhujia Town to inquire about Song.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Xin's whereabouts. But I didn't expect that the enemy's road was narrow and I met him here.
Du Ze pointed his riding whip at Song Xin and shouted, "Boy, did our third boss Feng Biao lose his life in your hands? And what about our second boss? Tell me!"
Yang Di and others didn't know the whole story, so they looked at each other for a while.
Song Xin nodded and said, "Yes, Feng Biao was killed by me, and Feng Hu is also dead."
Du Ze sneered and said, "It's fine if it's you. I'll give you two options. First, you go back with us and let me deal with it. Second, if you wipe your neck with a knife, we'll take your head back."
Song Xin sneered, "You give me two ways? Who do you think you are! A robber who robs homes and homes dares to act domineering here."
"Hahahaha!" Du Ze laughed, "Good boy, let's get some bones. I just don't know if you will still have the backbone after we catch you! Surround me!"
Yang Di shouted angrily: "What a bold thief, how dare you commit murder here!"
Du Ze smiled ferociously: "Young Master Yang, this matter has nothing to do with you, and we don't want to hurt you, so you should retreat."
Song Xin said, "Brothers, please leave first. I can deal with these people by myself."
Yang Xi knew Song Xin's skills, but they had just sworn an oath, how could they run away as soon as they encountered danger. He laughed loudly, pulled out the sword from his waist and said: "Since you recognize us as brothers, how can I, Yang Di, run away!"
"Yes!" Linghu Hua, Zhong Yu and others who came with him all responded and drew their swords. For a time, the two parties were in confrontation, and a bloodbath was about to break out.
Du Ze was also surprised. He didn't expect that this kid was in such deep water that he could make people like Yang Di willing to risk their lives.
He suddenly raised his hand to signal for silence, and then said, "Young Master Yang, do you really want to take care of this matter?"
"You can avenge your brother, but I can't watch my brother being bullied by you!" Yang Di refused to give in.
Linghu Hua said loudly at the same time: "Yes, Song Xin is our brother, how can we let you take him away so easily!"
At this time, the two men on the bandits' horses seemed to hear Song Xin's name, and their bodies began to twist desperately.
Song Xin was startled for a moment, then nodded, stepped out, stood in front of Yang Di and others, and said loudly: "This leader, this matter is a personal grudge between me and you. Why don't you and I come out alone to fight one on one?" , life and death are determined by destiny, how about it?" Although there is still corpse energy in his body that has not been resolved, he is confident that he can still deal with a robber.
The robber who recognized Song Xin had seen Song Xin's skills and was about to stop him when he heard Du Ze chuckle and said, "Humph, you are so brave, then I will play with you!!"
Du Ze also has a plan. If they can survive here, it depends on what they choose. The boss Feng Bao ordered them not to rob the young master who came out of Piyong, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Hearing Song Xin take the initiative to challenge today was exactly what he wanted.
Yang Xi still wanted to persuade him, but Song Xin smiled confidently and said, "Brother, don't worry, I won't take a robber seriously."
Du Ze raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Hey, boy, you are so arrogant." He then looked at the robber beside him: "Listen up, I will fight with him in a while, and no one is allowed to come to help!"
This sentence suits Song Xin's ambition and will lead to success. He had long seen that the thief next to Feng Hu wanted to remind Du Ze, so he deliberately blocked his mouth with words.
