Wu Yuce, who was masked in white, hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Master can't speak, and he is sick in bed. For a proud person, it is really not easy for outsiders to see. ”

"That being the case. Then we won't bother. Chen Wenzheng stepped forward and saluted the white-clothed and masked man.

"Why bother, you have come from afar, but you have never seen my master. It's us who are sorry. "Wu Yuce still owes a courtesy.

"We have admired Master Wu for a long time, and it is an honor to come to Yanxia Town today to see the master's handwriting in person. Wu Gongzi, let's leave. Chen Wenzheng said loudly, but glanced at Chen Qiuniang again and said, "Jiang Yun, leave the map." ”

"Yes, Childe." Chen Qiuniang held the manuscript she had drawn herself in both hands, and inside it was the composition of the strange wood buildings she had seen all over the world. She drew it with a few charcoal pens.

"Hey, Childe, I haven't seen the old gentleman here." Panqing muttered.

Chen Wenzheng scolded in a low voice: "Don't be rude to Wu Gongzi." Wu Gongzi is a senior disciple of Master Wu, and this map is kept for Wu Gongzi, which is better than in our hands. I often teach you that 'the horse is a good general, and the sword is a hero', have you forgotten? ”

Panqing bowed his head and retreated, and said curtly: "It's Panqing who made the time." ”

Chen Qiuniang held the atlas in both hands, and her admiration for Chen Wenzheng in her heart was one more point. The manuscript was not valuable to them, but it was a priceless treasure to a master carpenter. Whether it is to build momentum for Yunlai Inn or to make friends, Chen Wenzheng has made a deal that only makes money and does not lose money.

This person was born in a businessman, but he is so calm in his work, it is really not simple.

"That's embarrassing." Wu Yuce looked at the atlas in Chen Qiuniang's hand and pretended to excuse himself.

Chen Qiuniang said loudly: "Wu Gongzi is the one who knows this map, and this map will be brilliant in the hands of Wu Gongzi and Master Wu, and it is just a pile of waste paper in our hands." Please also ask Wu Gongzi to smile. ”

Wu Yuce rubbed his hands, nodded slightly, and said, "Then I might as well be respectful." ”

Chen Qiuniang presented the drawing with both hands and said, "Greet Wu Lao for me, and wish him a speedy recovery." ”

"Absolutely, thank you three." Wu Yuce dragged the atlas in his hand.

Chen Wenzheng also smiled and said, "Then we will leave." Yunlai Inn will open in half a month, if Wu Gongzi does not dislike it, he will also come to taste our dishes and give advice. ”

Wu Gongzi was polite again. Chen Wenzheng took Pan Qing and Chen Qiuniang to say goodbye.

Coming out of Wu's house in Yanxia Town, it was already sunset. The carriage galloped all the way to Liuhe Town. Pan Qing was still muttering that the drawings would be given to the Wu family for nothing. Chen Wenzheng darkened his face and said, "Panqing, all the books in the past few years have been read in vain." I didn't talk about you before, because it wasn't necessary. Now we are the ones who are going to do big things. Once this Yunlai Inn opens, you will also need to be on your own. Why do you only see what is in front of you? This pile of drawings is of little use to us, Qiu Niang wants to draw, and can draw a lot. She used to play in Chengdu Mansion and had seen a lot of these things. And the Wu family likes it very much. You, it's always good to make more friends, and while it's right to be smart, sometimes small profits can bring us more benefits. ”

Panqing said "oh", and looked at Chen Qiuniang in a daze.

"See what I'm doing?" Chen Qiuniang felt that Pan Qing's eyes were strange.

Pan Qing shook his head and said, "It's nothing." I just can't understand why you're only nine years old, so you're so powerful. Sometimes you have to say more than Childe. ”

Panqing was unintentional, but Chen Qiuniang was surprised: maybe her edge was too exposed. But is there something you can't do?

She was thinking to herself, but the carriage jolted vigorously, and suddenly stopped. She accidentally bumped into the beam in front of her.

"What's the matter with Uncle Meng?" Chen Wenzheng asked.

"There are people, stop the way." Uncle Meng, who was driving the car, shouted tremblingly.

Chen Wenzheng's face sank, and he whispered: "Panqing, if there is any situation in the future, you have to protect Qiu Niang." Do what men do. ”

"Yes, Childe." Pan Qing patted his chest and promised.

Chen Qiuniang's heart moved, and then she saw that although Chen Wenzheng was a thin scholar, he had a man's heroic demeanor. He bowed down, opened the curtain and went out, and asked aloud: "I don't know how many friends stopped Chen, why did they stop?" ”

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave the road to buy wealth. You haven't heard of this, have you? A hoarse male voice with a loud voice sounded, which shocked Chen Qiuniang's eardrums.

"I've heard of it, but dare to ask where Brother Taixian lives?" Chen Wenzheng's tone was slow. Chen Qiuniang couldn't hear any fear in his tone, could he really be so calm?

Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but gently open the curtain to see the situation outside. The twilight was blowing outside, but by the afterglow of the sky, it could be seen that it was a young man dressed as four warriors, holding a ring-headed knife, a middle-aged man with a beard, and the other side facing Chen Qiuniang's was dressed as a Confucian and a lupine scarf. It is the beard that is now negotiating with Chen Wenzheng.

"Immortal dwelling? Hehe, I have heard that the young owner of Yunlai Inn is a scholar. Why are you all stained with the lowliness of this businessman? Now come and talk to us reckless about Xianju, hahaha. The bearded man laughed loudly.

Chen Wenzheng stood up, his tone was still calm, and said: "Everyone has ideals, but life is forced to choose the last resort. Once upon a time, my father was alive to ensure that my mother and I had no worries about food and clothing, and that we could do what we wanted. Now, my father is gone, if I still act recklessly, regardless of my mother's body and the decline of my ancestral industry, I am not even worthy of being a human being. What else can you say about reading people? In addition, businessmen are also sleeping in the open air, and they eat with their ability, so how can they be cheap. Even a few of them relied on strength, hard work, eating and sleeping, coming and going, and taking risks. And how can you say that you are cheap? ”

This Chen Wenzheng can say such things, he is really talented. Chen Qiuniang admired it very much, and looked out the car window. Outside the window, the twilight was four, the cold wind was undulating, and Chen Wen was facing the bandits robbing with knives, all upright, and his clothes were flying.

This person is really a dragon and a phoenix among people! Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but nod in approval. And the group of bandits never thought that this weak scholar could say such a thing. In their impression, the weak scholars were all frightened when they saw them. So, for a while, this group of robbers did not speak.

But where did these robbers come from? Seems to have come too soon.

Chen Qiuniang had previously asked Chen Wenzheng and the people around her about the situation of the nearby mountain bandits, and many people said that the roads near Liuhe Town were all Taiping Road, and there were no robbers. The road between Yanxia Town and Liuhe Town is not remote, the road between the two towns is not far, and there are no robbers nearby. Because of this peaceful situation, Chen Qiuniang dared to ask for directions along the way to explain her intentions.

Well, this robber who came out of nowhere is really strange.

"These people are not weak in kung fu." Pan Qing whispered.

Chen Qiuniang didn't speak. Just thinking: If these people are tied to Chen Wenzheng for money, they may be Chen Wenzheng's sworn enemies. If these people were targeting her, the situation would be weirder.

At this moment, the hoarse beard spoke again, "Grandma's bear, this kid is quite listening. Boy, leave your money behind, how about the grandfathers let you go? ”

Chen Wenzheng lightly arched his hand and said, "Everyone, don't hide it, in order to reopen the Yunlai Inn." I borrowed money everywhere, ran into walls everywhere, and only borrowed a few taels of silver, and my mother also used the only jewelry she had. I just can't get it. ”

"Phew. You can't get it? What kind of hotel inn do you open? Are you a grandfather as a three-year-old child? The bearded man yelled.

"This hero, I really can't take it, if I don't dislike it, I'll make an IOU first, and when I make money, you can come to my store to get it, okay?" Chen Wenzheng still looked calm.

The group of robbers laughed and said, "It's funny, have you ever seen a robber collect an IOU?" Are you deliberately making Lao Tzu unlucky? ”

"Those brothers came suddenly from a long distance, so give me someone Chen face, but I Chen someone doesn't have any money, so I can't be tired of a few people and let a few people suffer, right?" Chen Wenzheng's tone was still calm.

When those people heard this, they suddenly didn't speak. Chen Qiuniang saw the person dressed as a Confucian and suddenly turned her face to look at Chen Wenzheng. It was a delicate face, and it looked like a young man in his twenties, with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and a gloomy expression.

"What did you say?" The boy asked, his voice low, but he could still hear it clean.

"Although I am a scholar, I still have the ability to remember, and it was this one who followed me in Liuhe Town a few days ago." Chen Wenzheng pointed to one of the men with a ring knife.

The man was stunned, and looked at the man dressed as a Confucian with a slightly panicked expression. The Confucian man glared at him fiercely, but he smiled darkly and said, "It's a bit interesting, but aren't you afraid that after you say it, we will let you be in a different place?" ”

Chen Wenzheng was not afraid, but spit out one word: "Afraid." ”

"If you're afraid, why don't you just hand over your money. Now that you know our details, do you think it will be impossible for us to take your mother away for a walk? Don't be superstitious about the guards of the Zhang Mansion, they are guarding the Zhang Mansion, not your Chen family. The man's voice became calmer, but every word was eerie and uncomfortable.

"Why bother." Chen Wenzheng shook his head.

"Don't pretend. You beg for mercy, perhaps, I will consider giving you the best treatment. The man's tone was still calm and slow.

Chen Wenzheng didn't speak again, only stood up and looked at the man in front of him. After a while, he asked, "How much do you want?" ”

"Not much, five hundred taels." The man said lightly.

"To be honest, I don't have that much." Chen Wenzheng replied.

"You have a shop." The man gave him a contemptuous look.

"That's the ancestral business." Chen Wenzheng argued.

"It is said that his cook is in the car, you go and take all the people in the car away, give him seven days, and wait for him to get the money." The man waved his hand, and the few with the ring-headed knives jumped over. RS
