Chapter 7 Meeting the Nobles

On the way back to the camp, Xue Liang was very happy, and while walking, he shook his head and sang a little song. Xue Liang looked at the puzzled looks of the two and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Are the two virtuous brothers very puzzled, why am I so happy, eldest brother?" ”

Of course, these words go straight to the hearts of the two, after all, it is not worth being so happy to find two helpers, in fact, there are many capable people. But in this troubled world, if there is a good opportunity to get ahead, no one will be uninteresting, and everyone must do their best.

"Actually, it's very simple, it turns out that considering that you see that your brothers are still straightforward, not like treacherous people, and you are also strong in martial arts, which is very suitable for helping people." Xue Liang explained a little casually: "But this is not a good thing to see the light after all, so people's hearts are very important. ”

Of course, these are absolutely important, but how can Xue Liang see through people's hearts and suddenly behave like this? It must be that the two of them have inadvertently planted willows in some small places that they didn't pay attention to.

Seeing that the two of them were full of doubts, he no longer played tricks, and said: "Today's matter of seeing Shi Bin and Liu's shopkeeper completely reassures me. As the saying goes: Knowing the face of the person does not know the heart. But a glimpse of the whole leopard can see the sea by watching the dripping water. With Shi Bin, the eldest brother, your Wang San must also be a good man, and he will not be the kind of person who is greedy for money. Things gather like like, people divide by groups, hehe!"

The two Shi Bin brothers were also very happy to listen to Xue Liang's words, but such an unintentional little thing made them improve a lot in front of the chief. You know, it's very difficult to get people to trust each other in these troubled times.

Following behind Xue Huochang, he was slowly relieved, and he was also regarded as Huochang's "own person". However, what puzzled the Shi Bin brothers was that Xue Liang did not walk out of the city gate in the direction of the camp, but led them into an alley.

Obviously, in front of the alley was another block, and according to the layout of Jingzhou City and the noise coming from that direction, as well as the smell of all kinds of wine and meat, it was a rich area at a glance.

The "nobleman" Wang San mentioned by Xue Liang just thought of it, it seems that what Xue Liang said is true, and this matter seems to be quite urgent. He couldn't help but rub Shi Bin's shoulder, glanced forward and smiled weirdly, Shi Bin also looked like he suddenly realized.

Xue Liang walked straight forward without squinting, while Shi Bin walked on the non-hemp-colored stone slab, looking at both sides of the alley. There are countless old brick and orange houses lined up one after another, living in them, opening shops and opening shops, as if there are old dreams floating in front of him, childhood and youth, so that he is immersed in nostalgia for the past.

Seeing that Shi Bin didn't follow, Wang San immediately patted him hard, dragging him back to reality from the mirror image of the past with emotion.

Walking in the alley did not go directly to the nobleman's house, but went back and forth in the alley for at least a quarter of an hour.

When Shi Bin and the others were already turned around and didn't know where they were, Xue Liang quietly walked into the side door of a magnificent mansion

Although Shi Bin didn't have so many eyes, he couldn't help but sigh that this Xue Huochang was really cunning and cautious. Although they had regarded their brother as their own, they were still on the last line of insurance, so it was no wonder that the noble man entrusted such a big matter to him to do such a small fire chief.

As soon as you enter the verandah, there is a winding verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road, and there is a marble case in the courtyard, which is very atmospheric. After crossing the road, we entered a very stylish but solemn garden. In fact, it is a small martial arts arena, eighteen kinds of weapons are neatly placed on the wooden shelves on both sides of the playground, and the wings around it are carved beams and paintings, and they are magnificent.

There is not only a large ceramic jar around but also a few pine trees, which have a strong taste with this martial arts field, and the owner of this mansion is a magnificent person.

At this time, there was a person in the field who was wearing a martial arts uniform to practice boxing, and when he saw Xue Liang and Shi Bin coming in, he smiled and nodded, turned around and walked in again.

After a while, he changed into a set of regular clothes and walked out, smiling but a little serious, which made people dare not be presumptuous, obviously a Shangguan who attaches equal importance to grace and power.

Xue Liang walked over to salute him respectfully, and after the two talked a few words, the man nodded, turned around and walked in again. Xue Liang only turned around and said to Shi Bin and the others, "Wait", and then he immediately ran into the door.

After about a quarter of an hour of entering, there was no movement in the room, and Xue Liang did not come out, but the two of them stood so tired that their legs were weak but they didn't dare to move. In the past two quarters of an hour, Xue Liang slowly came out and closed the door gently, not daring to show the slightest anxiety.

When I walked to the corridor of the wing room, I saw Shi Bin and the others still standing there motionless, and said calmly: "Yes, you two are good, come in with me." ”

As he walked, he also called softly "oops, oops", and when he looked up, he found that Xue Liang was actually beaten and his nose was swollen, but he still didn't dare to complain in the slightest.

At this time, Shi Bin and the others must have let them stand for so long, which was to test them. After entering the room, he followed Xue Liang to pay homage to the person sitting on the main seat, but he didn't dare to look up.

The man quickly excused the three of them, but sat on the main seat and drank tea without saying a word. Xue Liang seemed to have long been accustomed to standing there like a sculpture, and the two of them were sweating profusely soon, but they didn't dare to move a little as they did in the martial arts arena. Shi Bin understood at the moment that 'the most painful thing is not to move, but not to move'

"I heard you're not locals?" The man asked.

Shi Bin and the others replied: "My two brothers came from Hunan to join the army, not from Jingzhou. ”

"Joining the army? It's still a little patriotic. Wouldn't it be a betrayal to the country if the official wanted to do some business with the north? ”

Shi Bin had nothing to answer for a while after hearing this, Wang San seemed to have known that there was such an answer, and immediately replied with a smile: "My lord's words are wrong, just doing some business, and it is not leaking state secrets, not to mention that you can detect the enemy situation when you go to the north." Not only can we make money from the Yuan people to enrich our military expenses, but we can also spy on the enemy's intelligence and military deployment, and maybe even divide the other side. Why not kill three birds with one stone? ”

It seemed that he didn't expect that the mediocre-looking and even a little obscene man in the hall could answer like this, and the lord snorted with a smile and said, "Yes, some officials didn't expect what you said, I didn't expect you to have such a height." What is it called? ”

Feeling that the Shangguan was easy to deal with, Wang San was also a little bolder, so he replied loudly in order not to be obscene: "Villain Wang San, next to him is the villain's eldest brother Shi Bin, who is also a good man." We hope to do our part to defend our country. ”

The noble man did not express whether he agreed with Wang San's statement, but only closed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded, and said slowly with an expressionless face: "Since this is the case, you will go with Xue Huochang, and the official will not interfere with the specific actions." If you can do it well, you will be rewarded. ”

Wang San was naturally very happy and promised to do a good job.

Turning his head, Shangguan smiled and asked softly, "Shi Bin, what do you think about this?" ”

He was very happy to be able to go to the north Shi Bin, if this Shangguan really let him do the traitorous deeds, it would be a big deal for him to run away with Wang San. Go to the wilderness to fight a guerrilla, be a patriotic mountain king, harass the Yuan people, don't know how to eat, and can't sleep.

Of course, Shi Bin would not say everything, but replied: "The villain thinks that what the brother said is extremely true, but the villain is just a mountain and a wild villager, who does not understand the righteousness of the country. The villain is a crossbowman, and he only wants to take a few Yuan Ghost heads back after completing the things explained by the adults, so as to vent the hatred in my heart. ”

The Shangguan was also satisfied with Shi Bin's answer, but he still told two sentences, saying that he should give priority to finishing the things in hand, and not abandon the basics and lose the big because of the small.

Although the answer was not bad, the two of them were already sweating, and they only sighed that the person was so powerful.

Out of the magnificent mansion, Xue Liang took the two Shi Bin brothers to run around in the alley. In short, don't make the two of them dizzy, and forget the specific location of the house.

"Do you know who the Shangguan I saw just now is?" Xue Liang said with a little pride as he walked.

"The villain doesn't know, but whether the fire chief decides to say it or not, you have your own reasons." Shi Bin replied with a smile.

This is an unconventional answer, but it is not very smart, Xue Liang just nodded slightly.

Wang Sanze's answer was much smarter, and he said with a smile: "The villain doesn't have to know, and he can't know." ”

Xue Liang was obviously very satisfied with the answers of the two, so he also wanted to make a little joke and test the temptation, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Oh? You don't have to know that you're right, you can't know that I don't understand big brother. ”

After a slight cough, he stopped smiling, and replied seriously and cautiously: "It's not good to know too much, there are some things we just need to do." After finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "My eldest brother and I want to live for two more years, as the saying goes, 'curiosity kills cats', not to mention that I will naturally know when I should know." ”

Although I knew that the two of them were quite reliable, I didn't expect to be so sensible. After hearing this, Xue Liang laughed loudly: "Okay, you are a third king, you have a lot of eyes." But I'm very happy to think of my brother like this, which means that I am not wrong about you two brothers. ”

The two knew that Xue Liang was telling the truth, so they were naturally very happy, after all, this kind of work secrecy is the first thing. As the saying goes: the Tao does not preach non-people, and the law does not preach the six ears.
