Chapter 177: Gathering
Say. The man asked in a deep voice.
"Who is Your Excellency?" said Pan Daochang, still insisting on his principles.
The man stepped forward and spread out his palm, and Pan Daochang saw a six-sided exquisite bone carving seal in his hand, and the words on the seal letter were the letterhead given by the nine girls last time. Pan Daochang's heart sank at the moment, and he asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Your Excellency is-"
He waved his hand to signal him not to speak, then nodded and said, "Where is she?"
Pan Daochang sighed and said: "The nine girls are sympathetic to everyone, afraid that the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and everyone is not fast, which will delay the major affairs of the Gewu Academy, so they went to Jiashan Mountain with the escort Xiao Jiuyi to investigate, and ordered me to wait for us to return to Heyun Town to wait for the place." β
After Pan Daochang finished speaking, the man dodged and ran forward with a single arrow step, leaving everyone stunned. When the man disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, everyone came over and asked, "Dao Chief, who is that person just now?"
Pan Daochang glanced at everyone and said, "Ask less, live longer, why don't you hurry up?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood, and they didn't ask much, so they hurried to Heyun Town. Although these people are all sentient beings and don't know much, the nine girls must have her reasons for making such decisions, and looking at the nine girls' expressions and words, the front should be very dangerous, and the nine girls didn't want everyone to be in danger, so they let them withdraw to Heyun Town.
The group hurried away, turned a corner, and actually saw Yao Ergongzi rushing head-on, Xiaohong took the lead in shouting: "Second son?"
Yao Ziqiu turned around and asked, "Did someone ask about the whereabouts of the Ninth Girl?"
"Yes. Red replied.
Pan Daochang also caught up at this time and asked, "The second son is in a hurry." I don't know what's going on?"
Yao Ziqiu shook his head and only asked, "Does the Dao Chief know who that person is?"
Pan Daochang hesitated, then lowered his eyes and said, "The second prince still doesn't inquire." β
Yao Ziqiu had just run wildly. But the identity of that person was uncertain, and he was not at ease, so he turned back, and now he sees that Pan Daochang means that he knows the identity of that person, but Pan Daochang seems to have something to hide.
Yao Ziqiu frowned, and said unhappily: "Daoist Pan, you also know that this place is very dangerous. You, how can you? Could it be that you have a heart?"
When Pan Daochang heard this, he shook his head again and again. Said: "The second son's words are inappropriate, I am a person from the sixth room of the Yang family from top to bottom of the Cloud Village, how can I doubt the heart of the two people?"
"Then what does Daoist Pan mean by concealing this?" Yao Ziqiu asked sharply.
Pan Daochang sighed and whispered, "Anyway, that person." is a person who will never harm the nine girls. β
"How do you know?" asked Yao Ziqiu.
Pan Daochang said that he had seen his seal. As for which one it was, he would not disclose. Yao Ziqiu knew about a thing or two, and the seal that could convince Pan Daochang so convincing was not only the Yang family's six rooms, but also Li Ke, the king of Shu. There is no such person in the sixth room of the Yang family, and Li Ke, the king of Shu, should be very familiar with it. But that person doesn't seem to be the case.
"Seal letter, what can a seal letter say? Dao Chief, are you also confused?" Yao Ziqiu was shocked.
When Pan Daochang heard this, he was also scared. His face changed for a moment, and he asked in a low voice, "That." How's that for good?"
Yao Ziqiu felt upset, but just shook his head. In this life, so far, he has not been as uncertain as he is today. Even in the past, when he was left in the mountains, he was not so powerless to be afraid.
"Then, hurry up and go back and report to Xiao Langjun. "In the end, Pan Daochang still thought of asking for help.
Yao Ziqiu originally wanted to go to the mountains by himself, but he was afraid of becoming a burden to Jiang Chengzi, so he had to hold back and nodded in agreement with Pan Daochang's proposal. The two hurriedly pulled the saluted horses out of the procession and unloaded their luggage.
Yao Ziqiu was about to turn over and get on his horse, but he heard someone riding a horse in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves rolling down the mountains was particularly clear. Everyone was taken aback, everyone was armed with weapons, and immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
The horseman came nearer, and when he turned the corner, they saw a white horse, and on the horseback was a man dressed in black, also wearing a hat, and carrying no weapons on him.
When the man approached, he turned over and dismounted, causing a group of people to retreat one after another, shouting incessantly.
"Who's coming?" asked Yao Ziqiu sharply.
The man lifted his hat, and it turned out to be a boy with a pale and elegant face, Yao Ziqiu felt that he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. However, looking at this young man's outfit, although it looks ordinary, the fabric of the clothes and the jade jue on his waist do not look like ordinary people.
The young man's eyebrows are elegant, and there is an unconscious ruthlessness. He glanced at Yao Ziqiu and asked, "Yang Azhi can join you, where is she?"
The boy asked in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to find her.
"Who are you? Your Excellency is so rude and so far. Yao Ziqiu said unhappily.
The young man frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to speak, but he paused again, and still lowered his head slightly: "Hedong Zhang." β
"Huh, isn't it Meizhou Zhang?" Pan Daochang frowned slightly.
The young man glanced at Pan Daochang, bowed slightly, nodded, and said, "The ancestral home is Meizhou, Shuzhong, and the Taoist is very knowledgeable. β
"Hedong Zhang's family?" When Yao Ziqiu heard this, he thought that a few days ago, in the flower garden, Jiang Chengzi, Xiao Jiu, and Che Hu chatted about what happened to Zhang, the young patriarch of the Zhang family in Hedong?
Yao Ziqiu didn't think about it for a while, but the young man reported to his family and said: "Zhang Jia of the Zhang family in Xiahedong, the word Jinhua." It is the old man of Azhi, I heard that she entered the mountain, and knew that the terrain here is complex and dangerous, so I came here. β
Yao Ziqiu then remembered that the young master of the Zhang family in Meizhou was called Zhang Jia, and the word Jinhua was Jinhua. Dusk Cloud Villa also had business dealings with the Zhang family, but he had never taken over the business of Dusk Cloud Villa, so he had never met the Zhang family, let alone the new generation of heirs of the Zhang family.
Of course, because of business dealings, Yao Ziqiu also heard that the patriarch of the Zhang clan could only officially inherit after marrying a wife, and now this one has not officially married a wife, so he can only be regarded as a quasi-patriarch. Today's patriarch is still called Zhang Hai, and it is rumored that he is an official in the court and a military attachΓ©, and he is heard to be quite high-level.
"It was Zhang Gongzi, but I never heard Ah Zhi mention that he was an old man. Yao Ziqiu pointed this out. Because he remembered that when Jiang Chengzi talked about Zhang Jia that day, he frowned slightly, saying that he was not destined to be a fellow traveler, and it was better to have less contact.
Zhang Jia was not annoyed when she heard this, and only said calmly: "Ah Zhi's personality is not public, and besides, she will not mention this matter to others at will." What's more, she is a noble woman, and I am a man. If she brought it up, it wouldn't be appropriate. β
Everyone only felt that what Zhang Jia said was very pertinent, and said yes again and again. When Xiaohong heard this, she couldn't wait to come forward and urge: "Zhang Gongzi, seeing you riding a horse, you should not be weak in kung fu, right?" Since there is a danger here, please ask Gongzi to find the Nine Girls quickly and protect the Nine Girls." β
"It's nature. Zhang Jia said to Xiaohong.
Xiaohong pursed her lips and said, "The ninth girl and his guards went to Jiashan Mountain." β
"Little Red. Pan Daochang and Yao Ziqiu scolded in unison.
Xiaohong was very aggrieved, and she cried out and cried: "Before I went down the mountain, everyone said that the ninth girl was the hope of Turning Cloud Village, and asked me to serve and protect well." Now, now, like this, you all have to withdraw, and I can't protect the Nine Girls, you, you don't let people protect her."
Xiaohong cried sadly, everyone was speechless, but Zhang Jia threw the white horse to Yao Ziqiu, and said: "You are the second son of the Yao family, ride back to Heyun Town, take this waist card to the coffin shop to find a shopkeeper, he knows what to do." β
"Why do I listen to your command?" Yao Ziqiu was unconvinced.
Zhang Jia frowned and said: "The situation here is urgent, if you want to be peaceful, you'd better do it." β
As he spoke, he threw the waist card to Yao Ziqiu, and he took off his burden and a long sword from his horse, and ran forward quickly, but the footsteps were also silent.
Yao Ziqiu only felt that everything seemed unreal, and was a little stunned, but Xiaohong frowned and shouted anxiously: "You still don't go?"
Yao Ziqiu also knew at this time that there was no other way, at least the power of the Zhang clan in Shu was extraordinary, especially the guards of the Zhang clan were the elite of the elite, so when there was chaos in Shuzhong, no one dared to invade Liuhe Town in Meizhou. Because it is the territory of the Zhang family, and it is also the ancestral hall of the Zhang family.
"Go quickly. Xiaohong stomped her feet, very anxious.
Pan Daochang also urged, and at the same time turned over and got on his horse, and ordered a few people to return to Heyun Town to be on standby, and he rode back to Jinyuan County to discuss with Yang's six houses. Yao Ziqiu also got on the horse and galloped all the way to Heyun Town.
In this compartment, Yao Ziqiu and his party ran wildly all the way, each with their own plans in their hearts. Over there, Jiang Chengzi condensed and ran around the mountains for a while, only to feel that the mountain wind in the four fields shook the woods, and Lin Tao was very good. The sound of those lush plants is like all kinds of beautiful music.
And she breathed the air of the mountains, and when she ran, she felt that she was a member of this plant, and in the mountains, she did not feel tired at all when she ran for a while, but felt lighter than before.
She ran a distance in one go, and she was afraid that Xiao Jiu would not be able to keep up with her, so she chose an open cliff with high ground as a resting place and waited for Xiao Jiu.
After about a stick of incense, Xiao Jiu caught up out of breath. She smiled, but Xiao Jiu made a straight face and said unhappily: "Ninth girl, you are too willful." β
Still smiling, her eyes bright, she asked mischievously, "Isn't it fun?"
Although Xiao Jiu liked to see her laugh, he still couldn't laugh, he still shook his head seriously and said, "No, no." Nothing is more important than your safety. You shouldn't. β
Jiang Chengzi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Xiao Jiu, this matter must be like this." If we drag those people, we are really not safe. There are spies in there, and dragging those people can hurt innocents, and if the enemy uses them to hold you and me in check, we are really in danger. β
When Xiao Jiu heard this, he sighed and said, "Nine girls are far-sighted, but a more appropriate way, shouldn't you go back to Heyun Town for a long-term discussion?"
"I don't want to pass up such a great opportunity. Let those people know that I am not for anyone to calculate. Jiang Chengzi sneered. Then sit down on the rocks and listen intently to the sounds around you. (To be continued.) )
