Section 96 Gathering outside the city
Gong Zhanshan walks through the unfamiliar streets, where there is no hustle and bustle of the previous life, and there is no traffic control. But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and between the strong and the humble, everyone's position is naturally planned. Just like this less prosperous street, the humble consciously walk on the edge, and the rich can ride on a horse-drawn carriage to go on a rampage. The consideration of life and death, however, can make the most authoritative rules.
Gong Zhanshan followed several men on tall horses to the door of a mansion. These people are dressed very distinctively, and they represent the He family in Mocheng. Looking at the horse-tethered stakes erected in front of the He family, as well as the newly built Guangliang gate, it seems that the He family has a place in Mocheng. Originally, Gong Zhanshan didn't plan to disturb the He family, but he was very unfamiliar with Mo City and didn't know where the poplar forest was. Since you have arrived in Mocheng, if you don't visit He Dazhuang's family, I'm afraid that Da Zhuang's kid won't be happy when he goes back.
As soon as Gong Zhanshan walked into the door, an old man from the porter greeted him, "Guest officer, I don't know if you are going to dart or looking for someone?"
Gong Zhanshan bowed his hand politely, "Uncle, may I ask if the head of the He family is not there? ”
The old man in the porter looked up and down in surprise, "Our young master's fellow doorman, who are you~?"
"Occupy the mountain in the lower palace. ”
"Palace~Palace~, Master~Grand Butler~ Elder of the Silver Dragon Courtyard has arrived at our house. ”
Gong Zhanshan looked at the old man who ran in in a panic in a daze, and said in his heart, Is Lao Tzu so famous now? Even an old man in the porter knows it. After a while, a large group of people came out of it. These people are all five big and three thick, and they are very strong, staring at Gong Zhanshan in amazement as if they were watching something new.
Gong Zhanshan was a little embarrassed, so he heard someone shouting roughly, "Go back, let me go to the backyard to practice." ”
The crowd dispersed to the sides, and a sturdy man in his fifties walked briskly. Behind him, it was the old porter who followed.
The sturdy man looked Gong Zhanshan up and down with a little excitement, and said with a fist, "May I ask Your Excellency, is it really the Elder of the Palace Zhanshan of the Silver Dragon Academy?"
Gong Zhanshan nodded and arched his hand, "It's down there, I don't know who you are?"
The sturdy man laughed excitedly, "I'm Da Zhuang's father, and He Weimeng, the head of the He family in Mocheng." This kid didn't mention your palace elder much, and it was like going to your own home here, palace elder, please come in. ”
"He Weimeng?" Gong Zhanshan looked at Da Zhuang and his father, and said in his heart that their He family had a fight with the Guo family, and the wealthy family was either rich or wealthy, and the Dart Xing family was not willing to be reluctant, and it was powerful and strong, so he almost carved Hao Heng on his face.
He Weimeng took Gong Zhanshan's hand enthusiastically, as if he remembered something again, and immediately ordered, "I almost forgot about the big thing, He San, hurry up and invite the city lord to come over, and say that Elder Gong has come to our mansion." By the way, even the head of the Zhang family and the head of the Zhou family were invited. No, I will also give the next post to the old Zhao family in the west of the city~. ”
When Gong Zhanshan heard this, he hurriedly stopped, "Wait~, uncle, the junior is visiting you as a friend, but it is not the elder of the Silver Dragon." If you say that, you'll have no choice but to say goodbye. ”
He Weimeng's chest straightened, "Elder Gong, since you call me uncle, then I won't be polite to you." Da Zhuang told me that you are like brothers in the Silver Dragon Courtyard, and you have to listen to me when you come here. Besides, after the battle of the Fallen Mountain, who still doesn't know the name of your palace Zhanshan. Even if I don't make a noise, people will have to blame me for being ignorant when they find out afterwards. ”
Under Gong Zhanshan's repeated persuasion, He Weimeng endured and did not recruit all the celebrities in the city. Even so, there were more than a dozen tables up and down the He Mansion, which was as lively as a temple fair. Gong Zhanshan was also very helpless, but he knew that his current identity could indeed bring benefits to the He family. Even if it's for He Dazhuang's kid, let's contribute to their He family.
On the sixth day of Gong Zhanshan's stay in He's house, An Ruoxi also came to Mocheng with Guo Zizan. The two elders of the Silver Dragon Academy stayed in the He family, and He Weimeng suddenly invited a large group of people excitedly. When Gong Zhanshan heard this, his brains were about to explode, so he simply pushed these outfields to Guo Zizan, and pulled An Ruoxi to leave the He family quietly.
Outside of Mo City, Gong Zhanshan looked at An Ruoxi with a wry smile, "I knew that I wouldn't live in He's house, and a bunch of people came to visit every day, and my smirk's face was stiff." ”
An Ruoxi looked at Gong Zhanshan happily, "If Master didn't say that you were in Mocheng, I would have thought that you were busy with Gong Ling's dowry in Huafeng City." ”
"Ruoxi, do you know why you came?"
"I know, the master told me, explore Li Qihuang's secret bottom in the poplar forest. ”
When Gong Zhanshan heard this, he understood that Shizun and Situ Jimin did not tell An Ruoxi the truth. Gong Zhanshan had already received a letter from his master Wei Anping, and he understood Elder Situ's difficulties. However, pulling the An family into this troubled water, Gong Zhanshan was a little reluctant to go.
"Ruoxi, in fact, I haven't returned to Huafeng City during this time, and I've been inquiring about an extremely secret private matter. To be honest, I need a helper, and since you're here, I won't hide some things from you~. ”
Gong Zhanshan told the cause and effect, and told An Ruoxi that Poplar Forest not only has a mysterious and terrifying killer, but also has to face an old powerhouse like Zong Ze. These days, the uterus occupies a high-profile position of drinking and eating meat at He's house, and he is also waiting for Zong Ze to take the initiative to ask him to meet. It's just that to this day, Gong Zhanshan has not received any news.
An Ruoxi couldn't help but look at Gong Zhanshan in surprise, she originally thought that coming to Mocheng this time was just a routine investigation, but she didn't expect things to be so complicated and dangerous. No wonder her father repeatedly told her to bring Guo Zizan over, and now An Ruoxi understands her father's intentions, after all, everyone in the world knows that Guo Zizan has been rewarded by the Martial Emperor, and he has an eighth-level talisman order in his hand.
"Zhan Shan, do Elder Wei and my master know these things?"
Gong Zhanshan nodded, and An Ruoxi was stunned in her heart, "No, I have to make it clear to my master that the Silver Dragon Academy must send a core elder over." I'm afraid Zong Ze's strength is no less than the fourth level of the earth grade, plus the mysterious old man you mentioned, it is very dangerous to rely on the two of us. Even if there is a talisman in Guo Zizan's hand, it can only serve as a deterrent, and that guy is reluctant to use it. ”
Gong Zhanshan smiled bitterly, "Ruoxi, this is my private matter, and it can't be involved in the Silver Dragon Academy." There are some things that you will understand later, but all I can tell you now is that you don't expect to get the support of the Silver Dragon Academy. ”
"Why?" An Ruoxi looked at Gong Zhanshan suspiciously.
Gong Zhanshan gently took An Ruoxi's hand, "Ruoxi, don't ask why, Elder Situ also has to consider the overall situation." The bloody case of our palace family's ancestral land implicated the Holy Palace, and even the domain master Li Qihuang was responsible. The Silver Dragon Courtyard is the Silver Dragon Courtyard in the Luofeng Domain, and it can't affect the overall situation because of the private affairs of my palace family. ”
Gong Zhanshan couldn't tell the secret of Great Elder Huo Qingyang, but he wanted An Ruoxi to understand that the Silver Dragon Academy would not come to support them any more. Gong Zhanshan even felt that even An Ruoxi should not be implicated. Because of the enemy he was going to face this time, he didn't know the true strength of the other party, nor did he know how many people the other party was, and Gong Zhanshan was not sure at all in his heart.
Knowing the current situation, An Ruoxi's mood also became a little heavy. Looking at Gong Zhanshan's serious appearance, An Ruoxi comforted softly, "Zhanshan, don't worry, I will fight side by side with you no matter what." And since my father knew of the danger here, he would have sent for him. ”
Gong Zhanshan shook his head, "Ruoxi, it's best not to involve the An family in this matter, even Zizan, I don't plan to let him go to the poplar forest with me." I have also figured out some things in the past few days, since Li Qihuang is implicated, this is not as simple as a personal grudge. Once there is a grudge between the families, it may take several generations to resolve it, so I decided to challenge it in my own name. ”
An Ruoxi looked at Gong Zhanshan in surprise, "You won't ~ even refuse me, right? If you are worried about implicating the An family, I~ I will also follow you in my personal name." ”
Gong Zhanshan looked at An Ruoxi gratefully, "Ruoxi, the unknown danger is the most terrifying, I'm worried about what if~." ”
"I won't let you risk it alone without any chance. Zhanshan, if you have this kind of thought, I think you ~ didn't treat me as ~. ”
Without waiting for An Ruoxi to finish speaking, Gong Zhanshan raised his hand to cover her lips, "I'm not so great, and I'm not so narrow-minded, since you are willing, you must not regret it in this life." ”
A hint of red cloud appeared on An Ruoxi's cheeks, and she gently grabbed Gong Zhanshan's generous palm, "Zhanshan, with you, I won't regret it!"
The two looked at each other, Gong Zhanshan couldn't help but take advantage of the situation and hugged An Ruoxi in his arms, An Ruoxi's body stiffened, and she instantly felt a hot breath blocking her lips. An Ruoxi seemed to be in a dream, at this moment, she didn't care about any danger.
Two days later, Gong Zhanshan and An Ruoxi left the He family, but they left Guo Zizan behind. Gong Zhanshan knew that Guo Zizan's ability was limited, and this was not to hide around the Fallen Mountain, but to go to the poplar forest dozens of miles away to take an adventure. At this time, it is very inconvenient to take Guo Zizan with him, and even put him in danger if he is not careful.
Until now, Gong Zhanshan has not received news from Zong Ze, but he doesn't want to wait any longer. Moreover, Gong Zhanshan has always been on the bright side, and his every move has attracted attention. Now that An Ruoxi has arrived, Gong Zhanshan has decided to start going into the dark, and only when they are all in mystery can this game seem fair.
In a carriage and horse shop in the southeast of Meaux, Zong Ze couldn't take his eyes off a hand-drawn drawing, as if immersed in the details of the drawing.
Jiang Huaili silently tasted the tea, and it wasn't until Zong Ze rolled up the drawings that Jiang Huaili asked out loud, "Lord Steward, everything that should have come is almost here, when will we act." ”
"No, there's still a handful of heat left. ”
Jiang Huaili was slightly stunned, "According to my investigation, now that the major families have sent eyeliner, what is missing?"
"Patience, since they are all here, it depends on who can calm down. The more these people hold back, the more intense the outbreak will be. ”
"Lord Steward, I'm afraid we won't take the initiative to light this fire, these families are shrewd people, and no one will take the initiative to attack. ”
Zong Ze smiled treacherously, "Don't worry, there will be people who can't hold their breath." The poplar forest is lifeless, and I'm afraid it's also waiting for the big fish to take the bait. ”
Jiang's heart moved, "You mean, Gong Zhanshan?"
Zong Ze shook his head, "No, it's surprising that this kid can be in the Roshan wine sea that is stable in the He family." This first fire, if it is not expected by the old man, should be the Lin family. It's coming, it should be in this day or two. ”
"What are you going to do with Gong Zhanshan?"
Zong Ze's eyes lit up, "He must be allowed to die in the Poplar Forest, only in this way can he arouse the anger of the Silver Dragon Academy." The girl in the An family is his weakness, and the fire in the poplar forest is best to burn the entire Luofeng Domain. ”
Zong Ze was resentful in his heart, he was supposed to be the head of the Holy Palace, but now he ended up alone, and he wished that the entire Luofeng Domain would be killed.
At this moment, outside the city of Mocheng, Gong Zhanshan and An Ruoxi were sitting in a carriage. The carriage did not move forward, but stopped next to a fork in the road.
"Zhanshan, take a carriage to the poplar forest, don't you think it's too obvious?" An Ruoxi looked at Gong Zhanshan strangely, not understanding why she had to get a carriage.
Gong Zhanshan smiled mysteriously, "Who said that you want to go to the poplar forest, that kind of dangerous place, you have to let others explore the way." ”
"That~ where are you going?"
"Wait for someone!"
"Who?" An Ruoxi glanced out of the car suspiciously.
Gong Zhanshan also looked at it, and a happy smile bloomed on his face, "Ruoxi, our backup is here." I didn't expect this buddy to be really righteous. ”
As soon as Gong Zhanshan's voice fell, An Ruoxi also felt the fluctuation of his fighting spirit, and a figure flashed over.
"Sun Haishan?" An Ruoxi was stunned for a moment and shouted in surprise.
"Brother Zhanshan, Senior Sister Ruoxi, it's not too late for Sun to come. Sun Haishan said and put away his fighting spirit.
"Brother Haishan, I didn't expect you to really dare to participate in this matter, but another guy, even if I don't invite him, he will come. ”
Gong Zhanshan said, pointing to the other side of the space. An Ruoxi and Sun Haishan looked in the direction of Gong Zhanshan's finger, and a figure turned into wings and flew quickly towards this side. Seeing each other's faces clearly, the two couldn't help but be stunned.
"Lin Luosheng?"
