Chapter Seventy-Eight: Powerlessness
"Let's have a bowl of noodles, I'm sorry to trouble the old uncle!"
The old man had never seen such a handsome young man for so many years, and he was overjoyed, so he took out the demeanor of looking at his own son and asked: "Clear soup or red oil?
"No need uncle, just clear soup noodles, put more vegetables~"
"Okay, old woman! Put more vegetables in the clear soup noodles. ”
The old woman added a sum to the clear soup noodles, but she didn't specifically write down what to add more vegetables, and the person still responded loudly: "Okay!"
A big man on the square table outside shouted, "Old man, come and settle the bill!"
The old man ran to settle the bill, and the big man walked through the stable with his partner next to him to lead the horse, and sighed: "It is said that the white merchant Lu is going to rebel, and I don't know why, the richest man is not right, you say that he is rich enough to rival the country, and he is not satisfied." This accident, in the Jingshi, it is said that all the shops that have an intersection with him are closed!"
"The rich sons and daughters in the Beijing Division, a few of them who are a little more domineering are very troublesome, it is said that because they suspect that their bosses are harboring Bai Shanglu, those county lords directly copied the store. What rouge jewelry cloth medicine, there is nothing left. If you want to grab something, no one will let it go, as long as you are dissatisfied, you will go to prison directly!"
"In other words, how is this Bai Shanglu anti-French? I haven't seen a real war anywhere! Those on the border are not very peaceful!"
Another person bluffed: "Brother Li, you don't know this, it is said that Bai Shanglu teamed up with the Wu family to sell weapons to Zhou Guo. In the realm of Yunsha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise to send someone to serve that old nest to a pot!"
"Who doesn't know that the people of Zhou covet the vast land and resources of the country, and I heard that they send people to infiltrate the government every year!"
"Where did you hear that?"
The old man settled the accounts, lowered his eyebrows and reached out to take the money. One of the big men dropped a few copper coins in his palm, and then turned to the man who was still chattering and scolding.
Now that the mercenary group has issued a hunt and kill order, catch Bai Tong and Bai Shanglu, and get the money if you have time! If you have time to say these things, it is better to ask those painters how many portraits they want, and remember what these two rich men look like! If you are raised by others first, you will see that you are busy working in vain and turning around and drinking the northwest wind!"
The men closed their mouths a little, mounted their horses, and galloped to the east road.
Tingzhu listened to it word for word and shook his head regretfully.
"Ah Qiu also said that he introduced Bai Tong to me, but he ran away, and now this Bai Tong is afraid that it is also more auspicious, these years, it is really not easy to ......"
A familiar voice sounded overhead: "No one is easy, it's just fate." ”
"Master!"
Tingzhu looked up in surprise, there was indeed an extra person in front of him, and he had already picked up the teacup on the table and poured the tea himself.
"Master, where have you been! I thought you were lost!"
As soon as the words fell, Han Gongqiu gave him a dangerous look. Ting Zhu stuck out his tongue and said excitedly: "I've been waiting for Master outside for a long time, and when I saw that Master didn't show up, I knew that something must be wrong!
"Well, you're awesome then. ”
"And Master, there's one more thing......"
Tingzhu has always spoken quickly, so reserved, but full of cat greasy. Han Gongqiu is a rare sight, and he is interested in sipping tea, and when this obedient man can't hold back himself, he can't hold back and say it directly.
didn't wait long, Ting Zhu honestly explained: "Isn't this some kind of Bai Shang Lu rebelling, and then, he has a nephew named Bai Tong, Ah Qiu said that he wanted to introduce me to Bai Tong, eh...... It is...... Master, can you do them a favor and help them?"
"Oh, don't you know that your master himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and you still want me to help others?"
Tingzhu always knew who the master was hiding, and it was not easy to meddle in too many things, but he had a good impression of Bai Tong, and he really couldn't bear to see him killed. At what a good age, he met the master when he was fallen, and he was very grateful for the grace of saving his life. But Bai Tong is different, he doesn't know if that guy will meet a noble person to save him, if not......
But if he had to choose between Master and Bai Tong, he would still choose Master.
"Since Master doesn't want to, then forget it. Every man has his own life, and he can't ask for it. ”
“...... Bamboo Garden. ”
"Huh?"
"In the future, you can go by yourself. ”
Ting Zhu was shocked, and immediately jumped up and slapped the table and shouted, "Master, don't you want me?!"
The people around who were drinking tea and eating noodles were attracted by Tingzhu's fuss, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the people at the table. The boss was bringing the clear soup noodles and shouting to warm up the scene: "Guest officer, your clear soup noodles! Eh, is this master your friend, young man, do you want to have something?"
Han Gongqiu declined the shopkeeper, his expression was serious, and he frowned at Ting Zhu and said, "Sit down." ”
The young man looked worried, thanked the old man for his grievances, and sat down obediently. Sitting upright, with his hands folded in his arms, Erlang's legs are no longer cocked, his eyes are looking straight ahead, and he should be as obedient as he is.
There is a sitting appearance in the middle of the day.
Han Gongqiu felt that this child was really cute, but because of this, this good seedling could no longer follow him.
"Those people have already discovered my traces, follow me, you will be very unlucky. Go back to the Vinaya first, take care of the flowers and herbs, and if I'm okay, I'll go back. ”
"What if something happens?"
Han Gongqiu almost wanted to slap his obedient crow's mouth: "Hey, you kid, wish I had something?!It must be fine!" But he immediately put up his indifference, and slapped his wide palm on Ting Zhu's shoulder, which was also considered a broken jar, "If, I was really taken away...... Vinatsutai, I have a box in my room, you give it to someone for me. ”
Tingzhu was about to cry, his face collapsed and his mouth was pruned, and his eyes were red: "Master......"
"Good ~ Bai Tong's matter, if you don't say it, I will go too. ”
Not much, just because he wants to compensate that person now. When people are about to die, almost everything is done with the heart of fulfilling their last wishes.
******
It is not easy for ordinary people to find Bai Tong, but it is not difficult for Han Gongqiu to find him. Space art can be described as the welfare of the walker at this time, as long as the spiritual power is still sufficient, the entire continent is at its disposal.
The white mansion was copied, the coffin was covered in black and white, and the two paper seals lined the huge mansion with depression.
The guards who were sent had no doubt that the Bai Mansion was so big that it was impossible for it to be without secrets, and perhaps it was not necessary to be able to catch a blind rabbit in front of the Bai family's pile, so the outside was still guarded by a group of people, and they would break into the door at the slightest movement.
But even if they were so vigilant, they couldn't prevent Han Gongqiu from shuttling around the interior at will.
He had never been to Baifu before, but the richest man's home should be splendid, but everywhere he saw it was rags swaying, flower beds were littered with debris, and tables, chairs and benches were dumped everywhere. The doors and windows collapsed crookedly because of the raids, and the window paper broke into the wind, and the whole mansion whined as soon as the wind blew, just like the hundred and ten people who were captured in the White Mansion were whimpering and wailing.
