Chapter 26 The Collection of Composers (I)
Wang Huai suddenly realized at this time: "Oops! Wang's business nature, when he meets people, he talks about business and family affairs, and he doesn't want Mr. Gu and Luo Xiaoxia to be masters in the world. Thank you for your understanding. Gu Sichen said with a smile: "What Mr. Wang said is the truth, which is very beneficial, and it is most in line with Gu's heart, or talk like this, and it is good to see the outside." Luo Kun smiled on the side: "Mr. Wang, you might as well say something mysterious and introduce my curious temperament." Wang Huai said with a smile: "Luo Xiaoxia wants to hear weird stories, and I will introduce you to a Mr. Xiayun when I have the opportunity, what he said is all some strange theories, fairy myths, and I still think it is true." When Luo Kun heard this, he smiled and said, "It's a blessing to see such an interesting person." ”
Wang Huai then said: "By the way, the old man Luo Xiaoxia was looking for back then, has there been a result?" Luo Kun shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, there has been no news in the past few years, I don't know where to find it, and it seems that there is no hope in this life." After speaking, he was gloomy and sentimental. Wang Huai comforted: "Luo Xiaoxia is a celestial person, and it will be as he wishes." Then he said: "I heard Luo Xiaoxia say before, that friend of yours is a good hand at chess, half a year ago, the Son of Heaven made a move, and the chess masters of the world gathered in the capital, maybe your friend also went." Gu Sichen said: "I have also heard about this matter, but unfortunately when I got the news, more than a month has passed since the Beijing chess test. ”
Luo Kun said: "I don't know if Brother Fang also went, I heard that the emperor named a national champion Qu Liangyi from all the chess masters in the world, now the chess style in the world is very prosperous, it seems that Brother Fang is knowledgeable in the chess road." Gu Sichen said with a smile: "In your opinion, that Fang Gongzi should be a perfect person, and he can do anything, but it's a pity that he can't meet him as a teacher, otherwise look at what kind of extraordinary person he is." Luo Kun said: "Brother Fang has great skills in chess, there was a Taoist priest who set up a chess stall, set up a game of residual chess, and there were crackers and a few taels of silver reward, but unfortunately although it attracted many good chess players within half a year, no one could go to solve it." However, Brother Fang only glanced at it, walked the two sons, and then brought the chess game to life, making the Taoist priest happy and thankful. Moreover, Brother Fang has a chivalrous heart, save me Luo Kun in danger, I can't find him in this life, and I vow not to give up. When Gu Sichen heard this, he shook his head and sighed.
Wang Huai said: "That Fang Gongzi is a master of chess, and he will definitely be famous in chess in the future, and it will not be difficult to find it when the time comes." I heard a chess player in Meixian who went to the capital to take the chess test said that the competition for the champion of the national chess player was very fierce, and the eunuchs in the palace all participated, and almost let a eunuch take away the champion of chess. ”
Gu Sichen said: "The chess path is elegant, there is no world, Gu has a familiar old man, named Liu Minzhang, who lives in Shuzhong, has a sharp chess style, and is one of the most prestigious chess masters today. According to this person, the way of chess can lead people to a kind of wonderful realm, when the game is played, things and I forget, a little mind on the chess, sometimes the inspiration comes, if there are ghosts and gods to help, the magic hand comes out one after another, extremely interested, said that the way of chess is in harmony with the way of heaven and earth, can show all physics. It's a pity that Gu Moumou has been in medicine and martial arts all his life, and he has not studied chess too much, and it is difficult to understand the mystery. Wang Huai said: "If you can master one skill in the world, you can gain a foothold in the world." Gu Sichen said with a smile: "Mr. Wang's business management skills can be regarded as a kind of exquisite skill. When Wang Huai heard this, he also laughed smugly.
At this time, Wang Yunping came in and gave a salute and said, "Uncle, Mr. Gu, Brother Luo, the wine and food are ready, let's go over and have a banquet." Wang Huai got up and smiled and asked, "Today, let Mr. Gu and Luo Xiaoxia taste the flavor of our Meixian." "I invited the medicine king master and apprentice to drink at the table. Gu Sichen and Luo Kun stayed at Wang Huai's house for two days and were warmly entertained. Wang Huai invited Gu Sichen to diagnose and treat a friend's stubborn illness, and the medicine king medicine was eliminated, so that the sick family was grateful, and the next day he went to Wang Huai's house with a heavy gift to thank him, and the medicine king master and apprentice had said goodbye to Wang Huai and left Meixian to go to Chaozhou.
Gu Sichen and Luo Kun walked to Chaozhou, and when they were about to enter the city gate, dozens of horsemen and horses suddenly galloped by, as if they were in a hurry, and pedestrians avoided them.
After entering the city, Luo Kun said: "Master, you said that you came here to visit an old man, I don't know who the hero is?" Gu Sichen said: "This person is a member of the gang, and he is a incense master under a branch of Liuhetang, the world's first Jianghu force, I haven't seen him for five or six years, let's go and talk about the old feelings." You and I master and apprentice travel all over the world, in addition to forgetting the landscape, and then go to find some old friends and talk about some old news, which is also a great joy in life. Luo Kun said with a smile: "With Master, I have seen more and more, and I am casual and unrestrained, which is really a fairy-like day." Gu Sichen said with a smile: "You and I have the same temperament, and we are willing to travel in all directions, and we are also in love." However, you are in the prime of life, and you have to do something great when you are young and promising, and there is a chance that Master will find a good place for you. Luo Kun said: "If you can't do a big career, you can go with the master in this life and wait for your old man forever." Gu Sichen shook his head and said: "You are a person who has had adventures, how can you waste your time like a teacher, the master is willing, I'm afraid the heavens are not willing, and will punish me, a person who has mistaken great talent." Luo Kun smiled: "Where will it be?" In the past few years with the master, he has applied medicine and healed the sick in the world, and countless people have lived; Eliminating violence and helping the poor can be regarded as doing great things for the heavens, and the disciples are already satisfied. Gu Sichen heard it and smiled silently.
The master and apprentice came to the door of a mansion, and there were four big men standing on both sides of the door, with the word Liuhe on the door plate, and they had the momentum of some gangs. Gu Sichen stepped forward and bowed to a big man: "Please ask this good man to say that Zhao Xiangkong is the master of incense, and he will say that an old man is visiting." The big man looked at Gu Sichen and Luo Kun, said, "Wait a minute", and went in. There was not much time, and a sturdy man walked out of the door, and suddenly saw Gu Sichen, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Who should I be, it turns out that Mr. Yaowang has arrived, rare guest!" Rare guests! Gu Sichen arched his hand and said, "Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for many years, but it's always good?" Zhao Xiangkong greeted with a smile: "It's not the same as before, where is Mr. Yaowang so leisurely." Gu Sichen smiled and introduced Luo Kun and said: "This is the little apprentice Luo ......" Before Gu Sichen finished speaking, Zhao Xiangkong took it and said: "His name is Luo Kun, right?" The Medicine King's master and apprentice were stunned when they heard this, and Gu Sichen was surprised: "Brother Zhao, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, how can you know the name of the apprentice?" Zhao Xiangkong said: "It's inconvenient to talk here, please talk about it in detail." Gu Sichen and Luo Kun were invited into the mansion.
After sitting down in the hall, a servant offered tea, Zhao Xiangkong invited the medicine king master and apprentice to use it, and then said: "Brother Gu and this Luo Kunxian nephew, can they have known the famous figure in the Kanto green forest for a long time?" When Gu Sichen and Luo Kun heard this, they looked at each other in surprise, and Gu Sichen was surprised: "Brother Zhao Xian, you are far away in Guangdong, how do you know so much?" Zhao Xiangkong said: "A few days ago, Liu Shizhu, the hall master of the 74th branch of my Liuhe Hall in Guangdong, received an order from the head of the hall, saying that he asked the brothers of all branches in the world to help the Kanto heroes find two people. After I received the letter from Hall Master Liu, I found out that I was looking for Brother Gu and Lingtu Luo Kun. When Gu Sichen heard this, he seemed to have an understanding: "No wonder this is the case, it turned out that the master of the bow village in Kanto asked your Liuhetang to find us, so anxious to find my master and apprentice, and did not hesitate to borrow the power of Liuhetang, what's the matter?" Zhao Xiangkong said: "It is said that Miss Gong, the daughter of Gong Changchang, has entered the customs and come to the Central Plains." Gu Sichen smiled when he heard this: "Gu Mou understands, where is this looking for me, it turned out to be looking for the little apprentice Luo Kun." ”
Luo Kun exclaimed: "Master, why is Gong Ying'er so pestering? I found the Central Plains. Gu Sichen said with a smile: "There is one thing, I won't tell you for the time being, and you will know when the time comes." Luo Kun was confused for a while, and said to himself: "What can happen?" Could it be that Miss Gong's old illness has recurred, and she is looking for me to heal her? ”
Gu Sichen asked Zhao Xiangkong again at this time: "Gong Chang is the chief scoop of the Kanto Green Forest, and has never been involved in the affairs of the Central Plains in the Guannei, how can Guiliuhetang have a connection with them?" And spend so much effort to find people all over the world for them? Zhao Xiangkong said: "In the order given to us by the master of the main hall, it is said that the strong bow king will lead all the heroes of the eastern part of the country to move into the customs for a long time. When Gu Sichen and Luo Kun heard this, they were all taken aback, and Gu Sichen was surprised: "The bow has been quite powerful in the Kanto region for a long time, why did it enter the customs and win the Central Plains?" ”
Zhao Xiangkong said: "I heard that the power of the Jurchens in Liaodong is getting stronger and stronger, not only posing a threat to our border passes, but also wanting to annex the various mountain cottages in Gongchang to eliminate the local independent forces in the eastern part of the country, to strengthen the power of their Jurchens, and to annex the great tomorrow in the future." The bow was a heroic man for a long time, unwilling to be enslaved by others, but he was worried that if he did not obey, he would not be able to resist the hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen of the Jurchens. In order to preserve his strength, Gong Changjiu sent people into the customs to contact Liuhetang, in order to join and become a cause of the rivers and lakes. When Gu Sichen heard this, he nodded and exclaimed: "I see, Gong Chang is worthy of being the leader of the Kanto Green Forest, and he is also an insightful hero. Zhao Xiangkong said: "Yes, our Lian General Hall Master is very appreciative and happy about such a righteous act of the heroes of the Kanto region, and has personally contacted the people sent by Gong Chang to discuss the specific matters of joining." Gu Sichen said with a smile: "In this way, Liuhetang is even more prosperous, and no force in the world dares to look at Liuhetang." ”
Zhao Xiangkong said again: "Somehow, while the head hall master issued an order to find your master and apprentice, he also ordered all branches of my Liuhe Hall in Guangdong to convene good hands to transfer to the north, and I know that the same is true for all branches in the world. Gu Sichen was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but groan: "Gather good hands to go north? Yes, the lord of the bow village led the people to join the Liuhetang, so the teacher moved the people, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Jurchens, the Liuhetang is preparing for the force, in case of change, it is also good to respond to the Kanto heroes. Zhao Xiangkong said: "Maybe it's because of this, our Guangdong branch has selected elites, and today we have gone a batch, and in two days, your master and apprentice will go north with Zhao and the next batch of people, so that the head hall master can rest assured that the person he is looking for outside the gate has been found." Gu Sichen nodded and said, "That's fine." ”
Luo Kun thought that Gong Ying'er would come to pester him, and it was very troublesome, so he said, "Master, that's a matter for the two of them, it's better for us not to go." Gu Sichen said: "Kun'er, don't say that, the master of the Gong Village is a righteous person, and the Gong girl is even more temperamental. And, the master of the bow village this time to lead the crowd into the customs, join the Liuhetang, when it will not be smooth, you and I will go, although it can't help much, but also help some meager strength, in order to fulfill the feelings of the deceased. Luo Kun saw that the master had made up his mind, so he said to himself: "Okay, depending on the master." ”
Zhao Xiangkong immediately informed Liu Shizhu, the hall master, of the news of the search for the medicine king's master and apprentice, and Liu Shizhu was overjoyed when he heard it, and ordered Zhao Xiangkong and the other two incense masters to bring a second batch of people, and two days later, accompanied the medicine king's master and apprentice to set off north.
Besides, Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, and Lu Zhufeng escorted Qu Liangyi all the way, entered Jiangsu, and went to Shuyang through Xinyi, and they had reached the ground of Huaiyin on this day. Qu Ning'er was very happy when she saw that she had arrived in her hometown, poked her head out of the car window, and said to Fang Guolian: "Master Fang, follow this road for half a day to reach Qujiaji, and you will almost arrive home." As he spoke, he suddenly sat in the car and began to cry. Fang Guohuan was surprised: "I'm about to go home, why are you so sad?" Qu Ning'er choked up and said: "I was fine when I came out with my master, but now it has only been more than half a year, and my master has this strange disease, and he has ended up in such a situation, and he was brought back in a car, I ...... How do I explain to my mother, second master, and third master? After saying that, he cried again. Fang Guohuan was silent for a while, and comforted: "If something happens, you can't blame it, your own family has done your best, and when you get to the place, I will explain everything to Mr. Qu's family, in fact, it is difficult enough for you." Qu Ning'er slowly stopped crying.
Bu Yuan said at this time: "I finally sent Mr. Qu home safely, but I wonder if Mr. Qu's family can accept this cruel blow at once?" Fang Guochuan sighed: "This is also a matter of no law, try to explain it when the time comes." Bu Yuan said: "I'm afraid that the explanation is not clear, and chess can also harm people like this, don't provoke Mr. Qu's family to misunderstand us and cause some unnecessary trouble." Fang Guochuan said: "No, Mr. Qu is elegant and good, his family must be knowledgeable and courteous, we escorted Mr. Qu back to his hometown for thousands of miles, and experienced dangers on the way, and his family can understand our painstaking efforts, it is enough!" ”
Lu Zhufeng said on the side: "The two brothers are benevolent and righteous, and people will be grateful, if the two brothers are misunderstood and angry, we will send Mr. Qu back to the capital." Bu Yuanwen said with a smile: "I waited for such efforts and a lot of hard work, and finally sent Mr. Qu home, where is the reason to send him back?" If Mr. Qu's family sees Mr. Qu like this and rejects him, your eldest brother may buy a house to live with Mr. Qu! Fang Guochuan said: "You two can also laugh, no matter what, we can send Mr. Qu home safely, we are relieved." ”
