"Huh? Where's the big one? Why aren't you here yet?"
Waiting for Song Yang to be free, Fang Zhe pulled Ma Cheng and asked.
The big one is Gongsun Qi.
This guy is tall and tall, and Fang Zhe always calls him big.
We originally agreed to pick up Song Yang at the pier together, but now Song Yang is almost back, and Gongsun Qi doesn't know where he is.
"Big guy...were you here just now? Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Maybe he went on patrol?"
Ma Cheng looked around and didn't see Gongsun Qi, so he had to guess.
"Oh, it's good to strengthen the patrols. Now that the people have come out, there are so many people. If there are assassins mixed in, I'm afraid there will be trouble." Fang Zhe nodded.
In order to celebrate Song Yang's return after victory, the people spontaneously came to welcome him.
Fang Zhe couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the people because of safety issues.
Song Yang is also very disgusted with this, because he has always followed a people-friendly approach.
"Yeah, it's better to be cautious, it's better to be cautious. Although the spies have arrested a lot, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!" Ma Cheng also nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. That's right. But patrols are patrols. Your Majesty and the others are probably arriving soon. It's best to have someone go find the big guy. Your Majesty pays more attention to patrols and border patrols. Maybe I can ask him about it then."
Fang Zhe suggested.
Ma Cheng and Gongsun Qi were responsible for patrolling along the river.
Ma Cheng was mainly responsible for patrolling boats on the river.
Gongsun Qi led the team to patrol in river embankments, banks, tidal flats and other areas.
If Song Yang wanted to ask about these things, Gongsun Qi would have to report them.
As soon as Fang Zhe finished speaking, Ma Cheng patted Fang Zhe on the shoulder, then pointed at Gongsun Qi behind the crowd and said:
"Look, Lao Fang. Isn't the big guy over there? Huh? Who is that Taoist priest?"
From the steps of the pier, they could clearly see the entire crowd. Besides, Gongsun Qi was a big guy and could be found by just looking for him.
Fang Zhe looked over as Ma Cheng pointed, and Gongsun Qi was indeed there.
Looking at it from a distance, the boy seemed to be pulling a Taoist priest with a happy face and didn't know what he was talking about.
"Oh. Then have someone call him back..."
"Woo~"
At this moment, a horn sound came from the upstream shore. Everyone looked over there and Song Yang's fleet appeared.
"Forget it, leave him alone. Let's pick up the prince first. This kid may have met someone we know. If the prince comes looking for him later, we'll have someone call him."
Fang Zhe glanced at Gongsun Qi, then turned to look at Song Yang's fleet.
…
A quarter of an hour ago.
Gongsun Qi was waiting to greet Song Yang on the high platform of the pier.
As the person in charge of patrol security, I instinctively scanned the crowd.
As a result, I saw a Taoist priest behind the crowd.
There are very few monks and Taoists in Jiangzhou.
Although there are temples and Taoist temples, monks and Taoists also engage in labor.
There is no preferential tax treatment for monks in Jiangzhou, so monks prefer to go to Jiangbei to find Luo Xin to eat and drink.
This also led to the fact that most of the monks and Taoists in Jiangzhou were familiar faces.
Now suddenly there is an old man, which naturally attracts people's attention.
This is how Chu Zian noticed Lao Dao.
Gongsun Qi noticed Lao Dao, took a closer look at him, and immediately frowned.
Quickly walking to the pier and taking another look, Gongsun Qi's brows widened and a look of joy appeared on his face.
He didn't even say hello to Fang Zhe and Ma Cheng. He jumped off the pier and ran directly towards the man, his steps fast and urgent.
Behind the crowd, the old Taoist didn't see Gongsun Qi at first.
It wasn't until Gongsun Qi stared at him from the edge of the pier that he noticed someone paying attention to him.
I thought it was a security guard, but he didn't take it seriously.
He has experienced many secret observations recently, and he still admires Jiangzhou's security work very much.
As a result, the man looked at him for a while and then came towards him.
The old Taoist frowned, and when he looked at the young man again, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Master! My disciple finally sees you!"
Before I could remember where I had seen the young man, the man had already arrived.
I saw the young man bowing before him and shouting "Master".
"You...it's you!" The old Taoist finally remembered.
Ten years ago, when he was escaping from the Holy Sect, he taught a young man three moves of martial arts.
The young man's outline gradually overlapped with that of the person in front of him.
"Master! My disciple finally sees you!" Gongsun Qi stood up and said excitedly.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord! I didn't expect that you and I would have such a fate!" The old Taoist looked at Gongsun Qi with some relief.
This casual disciple was quite enlightened. During the first few days of teaching him, he knew that Gongsun Qi was a good young man in martial arts.
It was just because he had not yet made up his mind to break with the Holy Sect and did not want to cause trouble to Gongsun Qi.
So I only taught for a few days and then left.
I thought I would never see him again in this life, but I didn't expect that today, ten years later, I would see him in Jiangzhou.
"Master! How have you been doing these years?" Gongsun Qi's face was full of respect.
All his abilities evolved from the three moves of the old Taoist. It can be said that his life today is all because of these three moves.
Therefore, Gongsun Qicai respected the old Taoist in his heart.
"There is nothing wrong with a poor Taoist traveling around the world alone. There is a saying that if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry."
The old Taoist said with a smile on his face.
He is usually stern, but his attitude towards his family is still very good.
"Master, you have worked hard these years! How about you stay in Jiangzhou from now on. My disciple will take care of you in your old age." Gongsun Qi said sincerely.
The old Taoist Lao Huai said happily: "I didn't expect that in my old age, I would have a filial disciple. Haha! Okay, okay! I will go back to Jiangzhou to find you when I handle some personal matters for my master."
This old Taoist is Pingzhen Taoist!
A few days ago, Luo Xin found Lao Dao and told him the third thing.
Let him help assassinate Song Yang!
In order to fulfill his oath as soon as possible, Lao Dao immediately set off for Jiangzhou.
But he came early and Song Yang hasn't come back yet.
So he could only stay in Jiangzhou and work as a traveling Taoist doctor.
I didn’t expect to meet the apprentice I hadn’t seen in ten years at the dock today.
"Okay! As long as the master is willing to come, the disciple welcomes you at any time!" Gongsun Qi nodded heavily.
"By the way, Master, why are you here in Jiangzhou? Aren't you always in Beidi?" Gongsun Qi thought of this.
"Being a teacher is..."
"Woooo~" Before Pingzhen could say anything, the sound of a horn came from the pier.
"It's the prince who's back! Master! We'll talk later. If I have a chance, I'll introduce you to the prince! He will definitely want to see you!" Gongsun Qi said and turned around and walked towards the dock.
Watching Gongsun Qi leave, the old Taoist had a strange look on his face.
This disciple of mine actually followed the King of Jiangzhou?
Then should I kill the King of Jiangzhou?
Then I thought about it, I promised Luo Xin three things, and they must be completed.
This is the last one and must be implemented no matter what.
"Oh! Disciple! Don't blame Master for being unkind. You really can't break your promise!" Pingzhen sighed and sighed in his heart.
