Carrying the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 111 - Chatting in a Restaurant
Yan Bin was a little surprised at what kind of identity General Wan was. Although the young man acted bravely when he saw justice, General Wan showed too much interest in this person.
With doubts, Yan Bin approached the young man who was avoiding the freckled girl's pursuit, clasped his fists and said, "My master would like to invite the young heroes to a gathering."
Just then, Gu Xiao saw the big man speaking to help him out. He thought that the big man was just seeing an injustice on the road, but then he saw Zhang Siwei talking to the guard and changed his mind in an instant, and took the tiger and leopard bodyguard away.
He knew in his heart that this big man was no ordinary person.
No matter what, he came to help, and he wanted to thank this person for his help, and immediately returned the favor with cupped fists.
"I just want to thank you for your help."
"Please." Yan Bin stepped out of the way and immediately made a gesture to guide the way.
When Gu Xiao saw that it was getting late and Xue Hu was still waiting to leave the city to deliver the purchased supplies to Brother Tianya, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother, please wait a moment. Let me inform my entourage at home."
"Lin'er, you and Brother Xue Hu drive out of the city first. Brother Tianya needs these things from us, so we can't delay this matter." Gu Xiao turned his head and whispered to Lin'er. Gu Xiao asked Lin'er and Xue Hu at this moment.
Back to Chi Tianya, firstly, Chi Tianya really needed these supplies, and secondly, Gu Xiao wanted to wait until night to find out whether the Tiger and Leopard Escort Agency had anything to do with the interception and killing of Wan Jun.
Lin'er whispered: "You want to leave me alone again and go on an adventure alone. Didn't you and I already discussed it on the carriage before? We will go together, and we will have someone to take care of you."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Xiao to speak, he went straight to the carriage and gave a few instructions to Xue Hu. Xue Hu looked embarrassed at first, and then at Lin'er's insistence, Xue Hu finally set up the carriage and headed toward the city gate alone.
And go.
Gu Xiao saw Lin'er carrying Tuxue Xing and knew that Lin'er had made up his mind, so he led Lin'er and walked with the young guard towards the restaurant.
Wan Jun had already ordered someone to reserve the largest private room in the restaurant, and now he was sipping tea in the private room, waiting for the young man to arrive, while the accompanying guards spread out to guard him in the restaurant.
Not long after, Wan Jun heard someone opening the door of the private room, and then saw Yan Bin leading the young man and girl into the private room. Although Yan Bin had been ordered by Yan Ruohai to keep an eye on Wan Jun secretly, the general
It was inconvenient for him to be there to meet the guests in private. After leading Gu and Xiao into the private room, he bowed and left, guarding the restaurant with other guards.
"Young man, there is no need to be formal." Wan Jun saw that the two of them entered the restaurant and did not sit down. Instead, they felt a little restrained and spoke proactively.
"I would like to thank you just now for rescuing the two of us." Gu Xiao was not being polite, but the three years of training down the mountain made him always vigilant. Although this person came to rescue him and Lin'er, he could figure it out for himself.
I don’t know why he wanted to entertain me.
So after entering the private room, I secretly had my inner strength in my chest. After exploring the private room, I didn't notice that there was a fourth person present, and then I relaxed and replied.
There was no one else in the room. Wan Jun first looked at Lin'er after the disguise, and saw that there was nothing special about the freckled girl, and then he glanced at the young man's face.
If he had been outside just now, he might have been dazzled. Now in this private room, Wan Jun could see more clearly. The young man's eyebrows and eyes, even with the vigilant expression on his face at this moment, really looked like him.
, not only the appearance, but also the tone and expression when he spoke just now are very similar to him.
"It's a trivial matter. I can't bear to see these things of oppressing the people. You two, please sit down." Wan Jun withdrew his gaze and gestured politely for Gu and Xiao to sit down. Seeing the two of them sitting still, Wan Jun said with a slight dignity.
"I, Qi Yun, will destroy Zhao Liguo based on what the people of the world want. If these foolish officials still act recklessly, one day I, Qi Yun, will lose people's hearts, and I will end up with the same fate as Zhao." Wan Jun actually took the initiative.
He raised his hand to hold the pot and filled the teacups for Gu and Xiao.
As soon as Wan Jun said these words, the young man's eyes moved slightly and glanced at the freckled girl aside. However, the girl's eyes changed slightly and disappeared. She just picked up the teacup and drank tea quietly. The young man took the girl's expression into his eyes.
He opened his mouth and smiled.
"What your Excellency said is true, but back then, the Zhao family also won the hearts of the people and took the Ying family into its pocket. This change of dynasties is just a drop in the ocean of history, and it is not something that we, the common people, can arbitrarily discuss. Thank you very much for today, Your Excellency.
To help, I would like to offer you tea instead of wine, and I would like to propose a cup to you." Gu Xiao changed the subject, picked up the tea cup and wanted to thank you with tea.
Seeing this, Wan Jun did not continue the topic, but smiled and said: "It's just a little effort." After drinking the cup of tea, he clapped his hands gently. Yan Bin and others guarding the door understood and arranged for the bartender to serve the food.
Putting down the tea cup, Wan Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Just now I saw you in the crowd defeating those gangsters without any effort. It seems that you are a martial arts practitioner. I don't know where you are from, what sect you are from, and
How to call it."
Gu Xiao was a little surprised. Outside Lingzhou City, the man in the crane cloak asked a question in a different way, but the connotation behind his words was the same as this big man. Two strangers were so interested in his life experience in one day, but out of courtesy
, Gu Xiao still smiled and said: "I am a native of Liangzhou. I have no family or sect. I just learned some basic kung fu from my master, which made you laugh. Today, you are helping me. I hope you can tell me your name so that I can make you laugh."
Remember the grace of saving each other.”
Gu Xiao opened his mouth to tell him, but he just hid important information and took advantage of the situation to find out more about the big man in front of him.
"It's a simple effort, it's not worth mentioning. Are you from Liangzhou? Haha, when you meet Zili in a foreign country, it's a big revelation." Wan Jun saw that the young man remained calm and told him some useless information. It seemed that he didn't want to disclose it.
Instead, he spoke out to find out more about himself. Without revealing his identity, Wan Jun just used the young man's identity as a Liangzhou resident, laughed loudly, and brushed off the young man's questions.
"Your Excellency is also from Liangzhou." Gu Xiao saw that the other party did not speak to him. He only said that the other party was from the officialdom and did not want to talk about his identity, so he stopped asking. Hearing that the other party called himself Zili, he knew that this big man was from Liangzhou.
The man then spoke.
"Yes, yes, I have been out for many years, and I am planning to return to my hometown to visit my relatives. If my little brother won't give up, why not go back to Liangzhou together next time, and have a companion along the way." Wan Jun said.
"I also want to return to Liangzhou during the Yuanri Festival, but I have some things to do right now." Gu Xiao is currently thinking of waiting until dark to explore the Hubao Escort Agency, and then return to Xiaoloufeng to help Brother Tianya and stop Chi Qian.
Of course, Ren and the others would not accept the interception. But Gu Xiao never expected that the target of the interception was sitting across from him and talking.
While the two were chatting, the bartender had already brought the dishes. Lingzhou is a mountain-based restaurant, so the restaurant was filled with delicacies and game, and the aroma of the dishes filled the room for a while.
Even Gu Xiao couldn't help but move his index finger. Wan Jun filled the wine glass for the young man and the three of them chatted while eating.
As the sun went down, the three of them just chatted about trivial matters, but from Lin'er's ears, Wan Jun's words were all about asking questions about Gu Xiao. But Gu Xiao, a 'monkey spirit', actually rounded out every detail of his words.
After rambling on and on, this big man's inquiring words were passed over.
Seeing that he couldn't extract any useful information from the young man's mouth, Wan Jun was not angry. He saw that it was getting late outside the window, so he stood up and said: "Brother Mu, it's already late. I'm going to visit my hometown tomorrow. Tonight
There are still some things to be done, if Brother Mu has time and returns to Liangzhou before the Yuan Day Festival, he can come to Liangzhou Wanjia Lane to find me, and then you and I can have a good chat over wine."
"Okay, before the Yuan Day Festival, if I return to Liangzhou, I will definitely pay you a visit." Gu Xiao also stood up and saluted.
Wan Jun stared at Gu Xiao's face again, then turned around and strode away.
Seeing the big man leaving with his bodyguard, Gu Xiao said to himself doubtfully: "This man looks like a member of the officialdom. I originally thought he invited us to maintain the officialdom of Lingzhou, but after eating this meal, it's always...
You are trying to find out my identity intentionally or unintentionally. I don’t know why, but it’s really weird.”
Lin'er heard Gu Xiao talking to himself, hugged Ta Xue who was already full, and teased Gu Xiao: "I heard that in this officialdom, there are some high-ranking officials who have the habit of Longyang."
, maybe this man saw that you were quite handsome and wanted to take you into his house. I saw it just now, but he has been sizing you up, and his eyes have never left your side from the beginning to the end. "
Hearing Lin'er's words, even Gu Xiao felt his scalp numb and felt like vomiting. He hurriedly said: "Go quickly, go quickly, get out of here quickly."
Lin'er rarely saw Gu Xiao frustrated, so she immediately laughed and said: "It's all a joke, but the way this man looks at you is really weird, as if..."
"What does it look like?" Gu Xiao grinned, fearing that he would hear words like "Long Yang's habit" from Lin'er again.
Lin'er stopped smiling and stared at Gu Xiao seriously and said, "It's like looking at an old friend."
"Seeing an old friend?" Gu Xiao also thought carefully about the look in that man's eyes when he was having a meal just now. It felt like he was reunited with an old friend for many years.
"Forget it, let's not think about that big man for the time being. We are going to check out the Hubao Escort Bureau right now. Since the Hubao Escort Agency has something to do with Liuzhuang, it is naturally involved in the interception and killing of Wan Jun. We still
Let's go find out." Gu Xiao put aside the matter of the big man for the time being, the most important thing at the moment was the Haw Leopard Escort Agency.
"That's right, let's set off now?" Lin'er also agreed with Gu Xiao's point of view and said.
"But before that, let's go explore a place first." Gu Xiao said.
"Capital Protector?" Lin'er seemed to understand Gu Xiao's thoughts.
Gu Xiao smiled and said: "The one who knows me is Lin'er."
Lin'er knew what Gu Xiao was thinking. Since the bodyguard of the Tiger and Leopard Escort Bureau said that Liu Yi was a distant relative of the chief bodyguard, regardless of whether this was true or not, he was afraid that he would now go to the Duhu Division to recruit people instead of going there.
To explore the Tiger and Leopard Escort Agency, it is better to take a trip to the Protective Department, where everything will become clear to you.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, asked the bartender for the location of the Protectorate Division, and then left the restaurant and headed towards the Protectorate Division.
Just after the two left the restaurant, Wan Jun's figure appeared in the dark at the corner of the street, with only one person guarding him, it was Yan Bin.
"Commander Yan, I have to trouble you again," Wan Jun said.
"You should remember the general's orders and your humble position." Yan Bin said, and Wan Jun ordered his guards to pretend to be himself and leave. He took Yan Bin and hid on the street corner, waiting for the young man and the girl to leave.
But Yan Bin really didn't understand why General Wan was so interested in this young man. Although he had been ordered by the emperor to protect him, he was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory after all, so he still had to obey his orders, so he immediately followed Wan Jun's orders.
He gave the order and chased the two young men.
Wan Jun stared at the young man's retreating back and murmured: "It's just that the appearance is similar. The expression and posture are also the same as him. Judging from the young man's face, the age is also right. If it is really his
My child, if Prime Minister Xiao finds out, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the capital."
