Chapter two hundred and forty seventh
The next morning, Gu Xianfo woke up from the ruined temple. It was already noon. The wanderer of Bai Zhanshan had quietly left late last night. Xu Yourong, the boss of Bai Zhanshan, should have known what he was doing. Although he didn't say it out loud, the words were already revealed between the lines. Gu Xianfo played the image of a slutty young man. When Xu Yourong heard Xu Yourong's hint, he knew whether he should continue to follow them. So last night when Xu Yourong took a group of people to say goodbye, Gu Xianfo tried his best to show off and then put out an ordinary jade on his waist.
Jue picked it and sent it to Xu Yourong, the boss of Baizhan Mountain. He said he was thanking Master Xu for taking care of him for so many days, but in fact he knew what the person surnamed Xiao had made. This Maguan was not far from Yumen Pass. After he accepted Bai Qi's horse thief power, he arrived in Xiliang, except for sending people to send them several armaments and food and wages, he did not give them any instructions. This time, with Xu Yourong's group of people, Gu Xianfo also wanted to see if Bai Qi, the co-owner of the 32 ridges of Yumen Pass, had no intention of planting the willow branch that he had planted unintentionally into a towering tree?
Gu Xianfo walked out of the ruined temple alone. Before, he left the convoy of the Weiyuan Escort Agency alone and walked into the ruined temple himself. He originally wanted to think about things alone here, and planned to do what to do when he arrived in Wuzhong City, but he didn't expect that he would meet the Bai Zhanshan group here.
Bai Zhanshan is a sparrow, although it is a small and complete family. Although it is just a third-rate gang in Xiliang, from top to bottom, there are all styles, airs, and even intrigues and deceive superiors and subordinates. There is no shortage of this third-rate gang. However, 80% of the smuggling transactions they did from the grassland to the Central Plains were for dinner with the Zhou family. Although the Zhou family is not overbearing in dealing with people, it basically dominated 80% of the entire Xiliang business in smuggling. Whether it is the tiger skin and animal bone herbs in the grassland, or the clothing, farm tools, silk and pottery unique to the Central Plains, the Zhou family accounts for 80% of the entire transaction between the grassland and Daqian.
Speaking of the Zhou family, Gu Xianfo sighed softly. The Zhou family was originally the first enemy they originally planned to deal with. This design is the most reasonable and rational choice from any angle, but now it is about to change suddenly. Of course, it is not because of Zhou Qing, the silly girl, but Wei Xiaofeng told him a secret. The scale of the secret is so large that even the strong nerve of Gu Xianfo's life and battles was still accepted after a long time. If someone told Gu Xianfo, Gu Xianfo would never believe it.
The climate near Daomaguan is slightly cool. Although the Jingzhe has passed, Daomaguan has not yet felt the unique warmth of spring. The worst climate in Daqian is Xiliang, which only has two seasons a year, one summer and one winter; the worst climate in Xiliang is the 30-mile area centered on Yumenguan. Outsiders will not understand the wind and sand here. People in Xiliang say that the spring neck here is short and the spring neck is short. Spring passes in the blink of an eye, but only people in Yumenguan and even Daomaguan know where there is a spring neck? After winter, it is summer, and the children here have never seen spring.
After taking out the remaining water from the clay pot outside the door and washing it briefly, Gu Xianfo returned to the dilapidated temple. There was the breakfast that Xu Yourong specifically left for Gu Xianfo last night. It was said that it was breakfast, but it was just a big cake and half a pound of cooked beef left in a clay pot with embers of the campfire.
Gu Xianfo carefully opened the clay pot. Perhaps because it was kept warm in the embers of the campfire, the cakes and beef in the clay pot were warm. Gu Xianfo took out the breakfast and placed it in front of him. Then he scooped out a bowl of steaming beef soup from another clay pot. He bent down and took a light breath. He felt that all the cells from his nose to his stomach were awakened by the fresh aroma of the mountain fruit woods. He picked up the sea bowl and took a sip. He felt that the beef soup mixed with several aromas passed through his mouth. The esophagus slowly flowed to his stomach. He put down the sea bowl and let out a satisfying sound. He only felt that the deliciousness in the world was enough at this moment.
At this moment, a very breathtaking sentence came from the side: "This beef soup really feels good. I smelled it on the side and felt saliva flowing out."
At this moment, the hairs on the back of Gu Xianfo's neck were really standing up.
Even if he loses all his internal strength now, even if he is unable to tie his hands, he has never felt like he is now. He was touched by someone. And if it weren't for the other person's voice, he would still be completely unaware of it now?
Gu Xianfo tried his best to suppress the thunder in his heart, softened his stiff body a little, and then slowly turned his body with a soft smile. At this time, Gu Xianfo suddenly saw that an old man with a tall figure and even burly figure was sitting side by side with him on the straw mat. The old man was wearing a simple linen coat. Although his clothes were a little worn and even had some patches on it, the clothes were very clean, with silver-white hair, but his beard was handled extremely clean and tidy. However, his eyebrows were drooping, but his eyes were covered, and the ends of the eyebrows were slightly yellow, which was indeed betrayed his age.
This old man's face is not kind, but it is definitely not a bad person's face. His facial features are upright, and there is no confusion or chaos that the elderly should have in his eyes. Instead, there is the brightness unique to young people in his pupils, even to the point of being terrifying.
Gu Xianfo had a sense of intuition when he saw this old man, that this old man was definitely not a bad person.
Although Gu Xianfo can now play against the old fox who has experienced many battles, he also knows that he should not believe in any intuition now, but this intuition emerges so suddenly, and the intuition feels so strong that he feels a little incredible.
The tall old man was now smiling kindly and sincerely and even flatteringly. He rubbed his hands while looking at Gu Xianfo. To be precise, he looked at the beef soup in Gu Xianfo's hands and the breakfast in front of him.
Gu Xianfo forced a smile and forced a smile and said, "When did the old man... come? Gu didn't notice it. If he had known that the old man had come, Gu would have asked someone to prepare more breakfast."
The old man smiled and rubbed his hands and said, "Hey, I know it's too abrupt to come to the door. But I've been plagued by mundane things these days and haven't eaten a meal seriously for a long time. When I woke up today, I suddenly smelled the fragrance. Isn't it uninvited? I hope Mr. Gu doesn't mind it."
Although he was sanitary, the old man kept staring at the breakfast in front of Gu Xianfo while he was talking, and he almost drooled his saliva.
As soon as he heard the old man speak, Gu Xianfo touched the old man's foundation three points. This old man should be a powerful ranger and has been shaking in the world all his life. Old Lin still couldn't bear to leave this world, so Gu Xianfo should have met this old man by chance this time. It seems that the reason for the encounter was because of this breakfast.
This reason sounds a bit strange, but in this world, the beauty is that some things are strange in their origins and ends.
