"Huh, this big city is really different from the mountains. No wonder my senior brothers always like to call themselves 'mountain people' when they go out to do business. I thought they were pretending to be mysterious. I didn't expect that they were telling the truth..."
After seeing the prosperity of the medical city, Tian Quan couldn't help but sigh when he returned to the inn.
Zhao Zijun said with a mischievous smile: "Master Qian is quite spiritual. In just half a day, he has transformed from a little Taoist boy in the mountains to a young master in the city. Can he be regarded as someone who is close to Mo?"
Since they were outside, everyone followed the previous agreement and called Tianquan Qian Duoduo.
"Hey, this young man is very talented and can learn everything very quickly." Tian Quan took out a folding fan he just bought and imitated the wealthy young man outside, shaking it up and down, making several people laugh.
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, Master Yushu won't be able to recognize where this skinny monkey comes from, and will blame us instead, and we can't afford it." Lu Hanjiang arrived with Huangfu Xiaoyuan, and started joking with everyone.
"Brother Yue, Miss Yue is here, please sit down quickly - hey, what is this?" Tian Quan took a letter from Huangfu Xiaoyuan's hand with a curious look on his face.
Lu Hanjiang said: "Master Qian, you might as well open it and take a look."
Tian Quan glanced at the writing on the envelope, and it read "Gongsun Chengshou". He quickly shook his head: "No, no, brother Yue, don't be joking. This letter is addressed to Mr. Gongsun, how could I open it without permission?"
Start watching."
Lu Hanjiang smiled and said, "Well, since Mr. Qian is upright, let me tell you straight away. This letter was sent to me by the leader of the Beggar Clan, Lu."
As soon as the word "Beggars' Gang" came out, everyone except Qian Xiaoxiao, who didn't know why, changed their expressions. Although the Zhao brothers and sisters didn't know the relationship between the "Beggars' Gang" and the Gongsun family, they knew that the current "Beggars' Gang" was being
The imperial court is fully wanted.
Tianquan was a member of the martial arts world, and he knew more. For example, the leader of the Beggar Clan, Lu Shiqi, was invited to attend Gongsun Cheng's crowning ceremony. According to common sense, the two should be close personal friends.
However, under the severe suppression of the imperial court, the Beggar Gang has almost disappeared, and the news about Lu Qiqi has also disappeared from the world for a long time. One can imagine the importance of this letter. How did Brother Yue get it?
Lu Hanjiang saw Tianquan's doubts, so he took the initiative to explain: "I happened to have a relationship with the leader of the Beggar Clan Lu. Not long ago, when I was traveling in central Sichuan, I met an injured man. He was Gongsun Cheng.
guard."
Seeing everyone's listening look, Lu Hanjiang paused and began to make up a story: "This man was ordered to go to Shuzhong to find Gang Leader Lu, but he was attacked by gangsters on the way. I rescued him, and then we found him together.
Gang Leader Lu, unfortunately he was seriously injured and needed to rest, so he asked me to bring the letter back."
"So that's how it is," Tian Quan suddenly realized, and then praised loudly: "Brother Yue keeps his promise and keeps his word, I admire you."
Zhao Ziyi nodded and said, "In this case, we can use this as a reason to visit Gongsun's family. Mr. Qian doesn't have to worry about accidentally exposing his feet."
They all thought that they were traveling here along the way and didn't want to carry too much baggage, so naturally it was better to relax. Tianquan didn't want to reveal his identity, and Lu Hanjiang didn't want to.
Everyone made up their mind to visit in the name of "messenger". Without further ado, they set off for Gongsun's house while it was still early in the day.
Gongsun is from an aristocratic family, so the marriage of the eldest daughter cannot be taken carelessly. Especially this time, it is rare that everyone in the Gongsun family agrees to the marriage, so it is very grand to arrange it.
Several people came to Gongsun's house and inquired from the servants and learned that the wedding would be held in three days. So they revealed their identities and came to deliver a letter to Gongsun Cheng on behalf of an old man. Tianquan knew the rules and did not say it clearly. After all,
The leader of the Beggar Clan, Lu Shiqi, is still a prisoner of the imperial court.
After the servants went in to report, they were led to Gongsun Cheng's house. Compared with the small courtyard that was placed in the corner like a distribution, at this time, Gongsun Cheng had moved to a place closer to Gongsun Cheng through his own efforts.
A courtyard in the center of the mansion.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Gongsun Cheng's face had lost its greenness and was replaced by maturity and stability. He was smiling and polite. After coming forward to greet everyone, he asked, "I wonder which friend you are sending this letter to?"
"
Tianquan took out the letter and handed it to the other party: "Young Master, please take a look at it."
Gongsun Cheng took the letter, glanced at the writing on it, and immediately frowned. The familiar font gave him a strong sense of familiarity, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
With doubts, Gongsun Cheng opened the letter in person and took out the letter inside. The first line was "Gongsun Xiandi, seeing the letter is like meeting each other."
This was like a blow to the head that woke up Gongsun Cheng. Among the few friends he could correspond with, there was only one person who would call him a wise brother, and that was——
"Are you friends of Brother Lu?" Gongsun Cheng suppressed the surprise in his heart and said in a low voice.
He looked around at the servants who were busy coming and going, and said in a deep voice: "Please follow me to the room to discuss in detail."
Gongsun Cheng's mood is actually not as calm as he appears on the surface. Although the leader of the Beggar Clan, Lu Shiqi, is a rare master of martial arts and one of his close friends, the current situation of the Beggar Clan cannot be said to be in decline.
He has become a street rat.
From the bottom of his heart, Gongsun Cheng had the idea not to have any contact with this kind of friend who could not be helped, but also worried about being implicated from time to time.
But the letter has been delivered to Gongsun Cheng, and Gongsun Cheng cannot turn it away. After all, outsiders are still watching.
When he arrived in the room, Gongsun Cheng carefully closed the door, then lowered his head and read the letter Lu Qiqi sent him. There was no substantial content in it, just some simple greetings, which made him feel a little relieved.
I was originally worried about how to deal with it if Lu Shiqi asked for help in the letter, but now it's better - Gongsun Cheng, who was a little relieved, smiled again on his face: "Thank you all, to be honest, there is no news from Brother Lu.
I was also very worried and even sent people to search for her, but unfortunately...sigh."
Tian Quan laughed when he heard this and said: "It's a coincidence. We have met the young master's bodyguard. Although he was ambushed by gangsters on the way, he still successfully found Gang Leader Lu and is currently recuperating in Shu."
"W-what did you say?"
Gongsun Cheng's eyes widened little by little, and the fear in his heart was like a big drum, beating loudly. Several people saw that he had a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but become confused. Tianquan asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with the young master? But his health
Feeling unwell?"
"Ah, no, nothing..."
Gongsun Cheng took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "It's really hard for you all to make this trip for Brother Lu. Why don't you rest at home for a while? My little sister will get married in three days. How many invitations can I invite?"
Come and show your support."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Although Gongsun Cheng tried his best to hide it, Tian Quan still saw that the other party was a little uneasy at the moment, so after agreeing to the other party's invitation, he did not stay and said anything, followed a steward called by Gongsun Cheng, and went to the guest house first.
