Facing the dissatisfied Tianming, Zhang Liang showed a warm smile and asked him:
"Why, I know brother Chen He, is it difficult for people to accept it?"
"Uh... Of course it's not unacceptable, but it just makes me a little surprised." Zhang Liang's tone of Tian Ming's rhetorical question faltered, and his momentum involuntarily dropped.
Yes, what's the matter if they know each other? Why is he making such a fuss?
At this time, Chen He intervened and answered Tianming directly, relieving his embarrassment, "We have known each other a long time ago."
"Oh..." Tianming, who had suffered a loss, responded bitterly and did not ask any further questions.
Seeing that he was speechless, Zhang Liang smiled and went back to talk to Chen He:
"Brother Chen He, and Mr. Tian San, this is a troubled time, why did you venture into the city?"
Chen He replied succinctly and clearly, "Looking for you."
"Huh?" Zhang Liang was startled, his brows shrank at first, then relaxed, revealing a smile, "If my guess is right, are you two looking for someone?"
Tian Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded sharply, "Mr. Zhang San has a good brain, and he really wants to find some people."
Zhang Liang looked around at the street where there were more and more passers-by because the incident had subsided, and nodded, "Brother Chen He and I haven't seen each other for a long time, but we are destined to meet again in Songhai today. It happens to be almost noon, so I will be the host."
, invite you two to a banquet."
It is obvious that the banquet is just an excuse. In fact, it is to change the environment where it is convenient to talk about business.
Zhang Liang has already guessed that the two of them may be contacting the Mo family through himself.
In today's Songhai, the Mohist family is the top class after all. It is definitely not appropriate to talk about it in the street. It is better to find a more private place.
Chen He, who understood what Zhang Liang meant, would not refuse and nodded calmly.
Tian Heng nodded fiercely when he heard this, with a happy look on his face, "Mr. Zhang San is so righteous, but we are disrespectful."
He also understood what Zhang Liang meant, but this did not prevent him from having a good meal.
The days of wandering in the wild are always difficult, and Tian Heng has long thought about improving his food.
When Tianming heard that there was a dinner party, he came over with bright eyes, "And me, and me, Third Master, and me...well, and him!"
In the end, he was very loyal and added Shao Yu.
However, Zhang Liang responded to Tianming with a smile, "Ziming, you and Ziyu can do what you want...remember to go back to the academy in the evening."
Tianming was dumbfounded and said hurriedly, "Third Master, you can't do this. We are all in this together. You can't leave us two without loyalty!"
Hearing Tianming's accusation, Zhang Liang looked regretful and nodded solemnly, "Well... I really shouldn't have done this... Well, then, you and Ziyu will continue to follow me."
"Just in time, we can deal with the trouble you just made first."
As he spoke, Zhang Liang looked at the still noisy streets over there.
Tian Ming also looked over subconsciously and immediately froze.
Although he was looking forward to the little gift Chu Nan Gong mentioned, it was obvious that what he needed most now was to deal with this mess.
The problem is that he doesn't have the skills to deal with it.
Tianming turned his head stiffly and gave Zhang Liang a forced smile, "Well... how should we deal with it, Third Master?"
Zhang Liang smiled kindly at him and pushed back the question without mercy, "What do you think, Ziming? After all, it was you who caused the trouble. I think... I still have to respect your opinion."
My opinion?
My advice is don’t ask me for advice!
It’s best not to even look for my people!
It's a pity that Tianming is a decent person and cannot say such words to shirk responsibility, so he can only reply with a sad face:
"Don't ask me for my opinion, just tell me what to do..."
"Hey!" Shao Yu couldn't stand it any longer. He wondered if Tian Ming's brain suddenly went crazy again. He smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and pulled Tian Ming away, "Don't you think your mind is spinning? I'll leave this matter to San.
Just let Master handle it!"
After teaching Tianming a lesson, Shao Yu waved to Zhang Liang to say goodbye, "Third Master, let's leave first."
"Hey, hey, hey...slow down!" Tianming was dragged away without knowing why.
Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, watching the two brothers go away.
Then he looked at Chen and Tian Heng on the other side and invited:
"Then, you two, come with me."
Chen He followed Zhang Liang without saying a word, but Tian Heng did not raise his leg in a hurry and pointed back at the noisy street behind him:
"Why don't you solve the problem here first?"
Zhang Liang's gentle reply immediately sounded, "It doesn't matter, I'll come back later so as not to waste your time."
Compensating the losses of vendors is very simple, just give some money, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little late.
The matter of Chen He and Tian Heng is different. It would be better to deal with it as soon as possible. After all, they are not suitable to stay in Songhai City for a long time.
………………
On the other side of the wooden bridge, in the alley next to the river bank, Chu Nangong, who was leaning on crutches, did not go far and silently watched Zhang Liang and others. It was not until Shao Yu pulled Tian Ming away that he shook his head and sighed softly.
With a cry, he planned to turn around and leave.
But as soon as I turned around, I heard a playful voice with an obvious smile:
"Mr. Nan Gong, Gu has been looking forward to meeting you for many years, and today he finally got his wish."
When Chu Nan Gong heard this, his eyelids trembled violently, and his eyebrows hanging down his chin also trembled. However, he immediately returned to normal, stroking his long beard and smiling:
"Really? Old man, I'm just an old man with half a foot in the coffin. I'm really grateful for the great love of the Imperial Master, haha."
Gu Xun walked slowly from the other end of the alley, with a slight smile on his face, but his smile could be clearly seen by others. At most, Chu Nan Gong could see some trembling beard and eyebrows on his face.
"The old gentleman has been hiding from me for so many years. Aren't you always afraid that I would steal the "Yellowstone Book of Heaven" from you?"
"What, you're not afraid now?"
""Huangshi Tianshu"?" Chu Nan Gong frowned and pretended to be dumbfounded and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Oh...old man, I do have such a book in my hand."
"I didn't expect that the Imperial Master would be interested in this book. Unfortunately, old man, I have decided to give this book to a young man as a thank you gift." Chu Nan Gong said with a smile, "Old man, I am a young man of my age.
As a human being, it is hard to go back on what you have said, so I can only ask the Imperial Master for forgiveness."
"Humph!" Gu Xun grinned, not bothering to expose the old guy's high-sounding excuse.
I have been hiding from myself for so many years, and now I dare to appear in the same city with myself. Isn't it because I have made preparations to give away the "Yellowstone Book of Heaven" and no longer worry that I will snatch his book?<
/p>
Of course, even if it was given to Tianming, Gu Xun could still get the book from Tianming if he wanted.
But there is no need for Chu Nan Gong to worry about this. He has already done what he should do.
