"Sir, the brothers discovered Zhang Wu's body, and the Thousand-faced Dharma King has also disappeared."
The Jinyiwei passed the information they received back to Lu Hanjiang. Because they were worried about being discovered by Gongsun Huan, the Jinyiwei did not follow so closely. What could be confirmed at this moment was that there were only two corpses left in the forest, but not Gongsun Huan himself.
"Yeah?"
Lu Hanjiang was not surprised by this result. The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. No matter what Gongsun Huan said, it was not something that a pawn like Zhang Wu could kill.
"Where is our holy lady now?" Lu Hanjiang asked.
The subordinate Jin Yiwei replied: "Replying to your lord, Ji Baihu has sent a message back. She has successfully reunited with the saint of Xuantian Sect. Everything is according to plan."
"That's good."
Lu Hanjiang waved his hand and motioned for the man to come forward: "I've had enough fun today. You send the princess back. I'm also going to meet Brother Tianquan."
"Yes." Jin Yiwei responded.
...
At this moment, Tianquan coincidentally was also in Baihua Tower. After the Huo family's fight, because Shangguan Beicang and Tianquan hit it off, Wen Chenyang took advantage of the situation and called him up.
Baihualou is the most famous restaurant in the Eastern Capital. Shangguan Beicang valued Tianquan, so he naturally chose this most superior place to entertain.
Shangguan Beicang changed into a brocade robe and a jade robe, and the nobility on his body could no longer be concealed. When Tian Quan saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Master Shangguan, this is really unexpected."
Shangguan Beicang's chubby face was full of self-satisfaction. He waved the folding fan in his hand and said Shi Shiran: "Both of us, I never thought that Brother Qian is actually a high disciple of the Qingcheng Sect."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled heartily. Shangguan Beicang first said: "Brother Qian, we are destined to know each other like this, so don't bother with those red tapes. I'll call you brother, and you can continue to call me Aniu."
Although this name is a bit vulgar and straightforward, Shangguan Beicang likes it very much. He does not like the glory of the young master of the Shangguan family in himself, but he has a soft spot for the identity of this powerful knight in the world.
"good."
Tian Quan nodded. He was not a person who liked to talk about etiquette and principles. Now after listening to Shangguan Beicang's suggestion, he naturally would not refuse it. At the same time, he also confessed his true identity.
"Pindao is a disciple of Master Yushu of the Qingcheng Sect. Tianquan came here in a low profile this time, so in front of outsiders, just call me Qian Duoduo," Tianquan said.
"Taoist Master Tianquan?" Shangguan Beicang was stunned for a moment, and then said with some surprise: "Brother Qian, it turns out that you are the rumored Tsing Yi Xiaojian. Haha, I really didn't expect this."
After laughing, Shangguan Beicang asked again: "Qian Duoduo, um, is this the common name you used before you became a monk, Brother Qian?"
"No," Tian Quan shook his head: "I grew up in Qingcheng Mountain. Master has given me a Taoist name since I can remember. This name... was a pseudonym I randomly thought of when I was going down the mountain."
"That's it." Shangguan Beicang nodded with interest, and then pestered Tianquan to ask many questions, and the latter patiently answered them one by one.
It's just that in this private room, besides the two people who were chatting happily, there was also Wen Chenyang, but...
Tianquan glanced at Wen Chenyang from time to time, only to see him sitting not far away, not talking, just drinking glass after glass of wine, looking like he had something on his mind.
As if he had guessed Tianquan's doubts, Shangguan Beicang smiled and said: "Uncle Wen has always been like this, Brother Qian doesn't need to care."
Wen Chenyang had no real purpose in taking Shangguan Beicang away from the Huo family, it was simply because he didn't like to show up in front of others.
Shangguan Beicang came to the Huo family this time to join the gang incognito, claiming that he sneaked out quietly on his own. In fact, this was not the case. Shangguan's family was also a wealthy family. Although there were not countless masters in the family, he, a little fat man, could not come and go at will.
Before Shangguan Beicang left home, his thoughts had been revealed to his father, Shangguan Shaoqin, by people below him. This time he traveled around the world, which to some extent was tacitly approved by the Shangguan family.
This is also the reason why Wen Chenyang will always follow the other party to protect him.
On this side, noticing that the topic of the two boys had turned to him, Wen Chenyang snorted lightly, carrying the wine bottle, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Shangguan Beicang shook his head, and he looked at Tianquan, apologetically.
typical--
"Uncle Wen doesn't like other people talking about his affairs. Brother Qian, don't mind."
"It's okay, it's just that I was rude." Tian Quan hurriedly bowed his hands and apologized.
Shangguan Beicang repeatedly waved his hands to say no, then his eyes paused for a moment, and then he murmured as if talking to himself: "Uncle Wen was involved in such a thing back then, and was plotted against him, and he lost his reputation for the rest of his life.
It’s inevitable that I don’t want to set foot in the world again…”
Shangguan Beicang's self-conscious words made Tianquan fall into deep thought.
Although Wen Chenyang was very far away from today's Tianquan when he was active in the world, he had heard the name of this great hero several times.
Wen Chenyang's assassination of a high-ranking member of the imperial court was so shocking. This kind of thing that completely crossed the line is very taboo in the world.
Therefore, after the incident, Wen Chenyang wandered around the world and hid in Tibet, but few people would accept him.
This man fled from the north to the south. Shaolin and Wudang all rejected him, and Wuyue even said that he did not disdain to associate with the assassins who willingly degenerate. This literary hero had no way out, and was finally captured by the royal guards of the imperial court.
Tianquan thought about the Wen Chenyang he saw today, who was upright and upright in his stick skills. He didn't look like the greedy person in the rumors at all. What happened back then may not be as dirty as the rumors in the world.
Shangguan Beicang's words may not be out of excuse for one of his own people's faults. There may be something hidden about what happened back then.
When Tianquan was hesitant, a familiar voice suddenly came: "It is true that what happened to Daxia Wen back then was caused by a plot. However, the deal has been done. Now it is meaningless to dwell on the rights and wrongs of the past."
"who?"
Shangguan Beicang was stunned, turned around and looked at the uninvited person outside the door, and was immediately startled: "You--you are from the Xiaoyao Sect?!"
He has not forgotten this face. Not long ago, this guy named Yue Lifeng almost killed himself with the Soul-Destroying Needle. When he saw him again, he trembled with fright and wanted to call someone immediately.
Tianquan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Brother Yue!"
When he first saw "Yue Lifeng" outside Huo's house, Tian Quan immediately saw that there was something wrong with him, because his real brother Yue always had something that he couldn't describe, very strange but very unique.
temperament.
Tian Quan was a little embarrassed to say that he once felt that such a temperament was too weird and mysterious, and he didn't look like a good person. However, thinking that Yue Lifeng had helped him many times, he immediately put aside this rude thought.
When he saw the other person now, the familiar feeling came back immediately, so he immediately concluded that the person in front of him was the real Brother Yue, even though the other person did not carry the Xiaoyao Sect's magic weapon Tianji Sword.
