Chapter 200: The Way
After Lu Chengfeng confirmed the news, he asked his son to send someone to get in touch with the beggar gang as soon as possible. Lu Guanying has led the Taihu Lake bandits for several years, with three religions and nine streams, all of whom are not friends, and naturally there are acquaintances with the people in the beggar gang.
The beggar helped Li Dawen, the incense master in the Taihu Lake area, got the news, and immediately rushed to Guiyunzhuang as if he were flying, and after confirming the identity of Lu Chengfeng who was actually Huang Yaoshi's apprentice, Li Dawen was extremely elated, so he asked Lu Chengfeng to go to Kaifeng Mansion with him.
"Kaifeng Mansion? Why not go to Peach Blossom Island? Lu Chengfeng's face was full of doubts.
Peach Blossom Island is in the southeast of Taihu Lake, in the territory of the Song Kingdom, but Kaifeng Mansion is in the northwest, but it is in the territory of the Jin Kingdom.
Li Dawen hurriedly explained.
After Yan Kang used the power of the beggar gang to issue a search notice, he rushed back to the border of Jinguo and promoted the matter with the help of the power of various officials in Jinguo. Originally, it was necessary to rely on the power of the local government, and naturally it was the best to return to the central capital, and the order was passed down from top to bottom, and there was no reason for disrespect in all parts of the Jin country. But because he was worried that the old emperor would catch him for a blood test, Wan Yankang didn't dare to return to Zhongdu easily, so he ran to Kaifeng Mansion to stay first.
Kaifeng was originally the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was also close to the Song Dynasty, so it was much more convenient to spread the news. Before Yan Kang went to Kaifeng Mansion, he left a message to the beggars, confirming that anyone with news would bring Kaifeng first.
Lu Guanying led the Taihu Lake bandits for several years, robbing merchant ships and repeatedly opposing the Jin State. He robbed ordinary merchant ships, and if he was interested, he only charged a protection fee and let it go. If you encounter a ship of the Kingdom of Jin, if you think you can eat it, you will swallow it all. At this time, he heard that the person who issued the notice was the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, and he had to go to the land of the Jin Kingdom, Lu Guanying thought that there was fraud at the first time, and refused to let Lu Chengfeng go to Kaifeng.
But when Lu Chengfeng heard the news of Huang Yaoshi's summoning, he didn't hesitate to go to the land of Jinguo, even if there was a sword mountain and a sea of fire ahead. In addition, Li Dawen repeatedly assured that Wanyan Kang was a person who was trusted by the gang leader Hong Qigong, and Lu Chengfeng was even more determined to set off immediately.
Lu Guanying's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to arrange two top-notch martial arts subordinates to accompany him, plus Li Dawen, a group of five, and set off for Kaifeng Mansion.
Lu Guanying and the others all straddled the horse, because Lu Chengfeng's legs and feet were inconvenient, so they could only take a carriage, so the speed was naturally a lot slower.
Lu Chengfeng and several people pretended to be wealthy businessmen to visit relatives in Kaifeng, an old man, a young master, and two family members, this combination is normal. But this combination plus a middle-aged beggar, this middle-aged beggar is still riding a tall horse, which is a little weird.
At the time of the Song Realm, the name of Guiyunzhuang was still very good, and the road was unimpeded. With the assistance of the beggars, after the group entered the Jin Kingdom, the situation was completely different.
Only then did he enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and when he passed the small city of Qingyang, the Jin State sergeant guarding the door saw that the carriage that Lu Chengfeng was riding was a high-end cargo, and Lu Guanying and several people were riding horses, which was obviously either rich or expensive.
For such characters, the city gate guards should have been careful to deal with them and let them go quickly. But as soon as Lu Guanying spoke, his accent was obviously from the south, and the little school guarding the door had a different mind.
This guy lazily turned the road over and over several times, and said in a tone: "From the south? Relatives? Isn't it Song Gou's spy! The people in the carriage, come out for grandpa to check and check! ”
When Lu Guanying heard the word Song Dog, his anger surged to his head, and when he shouted Lu Chengfeng to come out to check, his eyes were wide open, and he was ready to burst out and kill people with a knife.
"Ahem! Cough! ”
Two coughs came from the carriage, Lu Chengfeng lifted the curtain, first glanced at Lu Guanying, signaled his son not to move, and then said to the little school: "This little brother, don't think about it, you can see which lame old man is a spy!" ”
When the little colonel heard this, he took a closer look.
Lu Chengfeng said again: "The old man's relatives are nobles from Kaifeng Mansion, if such words reach his old man's ears, hum ......."
As soon as the little school saw that Lu Cheng's demeanor was extraordinary, coupled with this soft and hard words, he didn't dare to make a mistake easily, and after a few hasty interrogations, he let them and his group go into the city.
"Song Dog!" After a few people walked away for a few feet, the little colonel scolded in a low voice behind him, and at the same time spat on the ground fiercely.
Lu Guanying's ears were clear, and he heard this scolding clearly, he clenched his fists and wanted to turn around.
Lu Chengfeng lifted the curtain and shook his head slowly.
After the Lu family and Li Dawen found an inn to settle down in, they had just settled down, and Lu Guanying waited for his father's salute to settle down, so he let the two accompanying people go out first. He picked up the teapot on the table, and instead of using a cup, he poured it all at the spout.
After pouring a pass of cold water, Lu Guanying reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Lu Chengfeng: "Daddy, why should we come all the way to this golden dog's territory, and suffer some anger in vain!" ”
Lu Chengfeng said lightly: "Guanying, in order to see the master, what does it matter if my father is angry." ”
Lu Guanying saw Lu Chengfeng's resolute attitude, and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to divert the topic and said: "Daddy, what kind of character is Master Zu?" ”
Lu Chengfeng raised his head slightly, looked out the window, revealing a leisurely fascination, and said after a while: "Your ancestor is not only superb in martial arts, but also in astronomy, geography, the five elements of gossip, Qimen Dunjia, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even farmland and water conservancy, economic strategy, all of which are all well known and refined. ”
If others said this, Lu Guanying would probably scoff at it, but when his own Lao Tzu said it, he had to pretend to be surprised: "Isn't it like a fairy!" Daddy, why don't we turn around and go directly to Peach Blossom Island to meet Master Zu, so that we don't have to suffer from this nest of gas, and we can see Master Zu as soon as possible! ”
Lu Chengfeng stretched out his hand and knocked on his forehead: "Bastard boy, your ancestor has always been the same, his old man said let us come to Jinguo, let's go to Jinguo, don't reverse his old man's intentions!" ”
Lu Guanying sighed helplessly.
Lu Chengfeng knew that his son was still angry with Baba's arrival in Jin Guo, so he changed his mind and said, "When you meet Master Zu, you will be able to practice this martial arts." ”
When Lu Guanying heard this, he was overjoyed: "Okay! Lu Chengfeng has not shown his martial arts in front of him for more than ten years, and he has only revealed it in the excitement of the past few days, and it is this few hands that have been revealed by chance that he has surpassed the deadwood Zen master who followed him to learn the arts.
Thinking of this, Lu Guanying stood up, walked behind Lu Chengfeng, and massaged him while saying happily: "Daddy, why don't you pass me a few hands first?" ”
In Lu Guanying's mind, the sooner he could be taught advanced martial arts, the better, and his father must have thought the same. As soon as he said this, Lu Chengfeng's face suddenly sank: "Don't mention this again, you go back to the room!" ”
Lu Guanying didn't know why his father suddenly changed color, and he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave the room uneasily.
Early the next morning, Lu Chengfeng and his entourage finished breakfast and were about to check out and leave, Lu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instructed Lu Guanying: "Slow, Guanying, you go and change your clothes." ”
Lu Guanying was stunned for a moment, looked at himself, and asked suspiciously: "Daddy, what's wrong with my dress?" ”
Lu Chengfeng looked at the two subordinates accompanying him, and said to Lu Guanying: "You ask Lu San to change into clothes." ”
This Lu San is a family member adopted by the Lu family since childhood, and his body is similar to Lu Guanying, he listened to the master's words, and was a little at a loss for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master, how to make this, how to make it!" ”
Lu Chengfeng didn't explain, but said: "Lu San, you just do it." ”
When Lu San heard the master's words, he didn't dare to say any more, and immediately went to choose the cleanest and neatest clothes.
A warmth rose in Lu Guanying's heart, Lu San didn't know what Lu Chengfeng meant, but he knew that this was his father thinking about him and deliberately asked him to pretend to be a subordinate.
Yesterday's incident has aroused Lu Chengfeng's vigilance.
Lu Guanying changed his clothes, helped Lu Chengfeng into the carriage, bowed down and asked, "Master, can you go?" ”
At this time, Li Dawen just arrived at the door of the inn, and when he saw Lu Guanying dressed like this, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "This is ......"
It is also thanks to Li Dawen that he is an old Jianghu, so he said two words, and the Lu family's move in the province must have a deep meaning, and he immediately took the initiative to shut up.
Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng beckoned to Li Dawen: "Master Li Xiang, why don't you go into the carriage." ”
Li Dawen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Let Huazi be dirty, and if you defile Lord Lu's carriage, you won't go up." ”
Lu Chengfeng turned his face: "Everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, Li Xiangzhu said this, just to see that Lu is not good!" ”
When Li Dawen saw Lu Chengfeng say this, he had to arch his hand and get into the carriage as he said.
As soon as Lu Chengfeng waited for Li Dawen to get into the carriage, he took his hand and sat down side by side, and said with a solemn face: "Brother Li, Lu Mou asked Xiao'er to pretend to be a subordinate, which is really a last resort, if it is on the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, why not!" ”
Li Dawen's martial arts are actually not high, but he can sit in the position of the incense master in the beggar gang, he is really talented, and when he heard this, he understood Lu Chengfeng's worries. Lu Chengfeng's worries are certainly reasonable, but in any case, this is a major event provoked by the beggar gang, and Li Dawen's face is somewhat unhappy: "Owner, when I entered the city yesterday, it was just a little trivial. According to the name Hanako, but the king of Hades is good, and the little ghost is difficult. ”
Lu Chengfeng took Li Dawen's hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Brother Li, Lu's move is by no means a brother who can't trust the beggar gang, it's just that our ancestors have a good saying, if it's not my race, its heart will be different!" ”
Because this matter was personally assigned by Hong Qigong, let all the big and small Huazi in the world cooperate with Yan Kang. For Hong Qigong, Li Dawen is naturally convinced. But what is the relationship between Wan Yankang and Hong Qigong is not something that Li Dawen and others can know.
Lu Chengfeng's last sentence made Li Dawen ponder.
If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!
In the next few days, Lu Chengfeng and his party went north, all cautiously. Every time before entering the city, Li Dawen first contacted the local beggar brothers to find out if there was anything unusual in the city. Rao is like this, the Lu family and his party have suffered several times from the Jin soldiers, spent a lot of money to buy roads, and suffered a lot of wrongs.
In this way, by the time it was opened, it was five or six days later.
