Chapter 15: The Chivalry
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
After Guo Shifeng entered the door, he looked left and right, and after leaning out of the building and looking left and right, he felt that there was no problem, and they turned around to face each other, but they didn't know how to meet.
Guo Shifeng spoke first, arched his hand and smiled: "Uninvited, there is a lot of disturbance." There was a burst of thunder, no wonder my brother didn't sleep so late. ”
Standing in the courtyard, the old servant's snoring became more obvious, and Lou Ji turned his head to look, "I'm used to it, I don't hear it so loud in the house." ”
"Haha."
"Why is Brother Guo free tonight?" The building closed the courtyard door, guessing that the guests would not leave immediately, "Please come into the house for a while, sorry, I don't have good wine and tea here." ”
"The bright moon is wine, and the clear talk is tea, impeccable."
The two entered the living room and sat down, Lou Ji found a pot of warm tea, chatted while drinking, several times Lou Ji wanted to ask about the meaning, and they all held back, slowly, this became a competition, as if whoever first mentioned the meaning of the matter, who is the loser.
Time passed little by little, Lou Ji's patience was first exhausted, thinking that Guo Shifeng was coming for Zhang Shiduan, the prince of Guangling, and was about to ask frankly to understand, when a strange bird call came from outside, which overpowered the snoring of the old servant.
Guo Shifeng was waiting for this, got up and said, "It's here, it's really punctual." ”
"Who's coming?" Lou Ji asked in confusion, finding that Guo Shifeng might have another purpose.
"Please wait a moment, brother, and I'll introduce you to a guest." Guo Shifeng pretended to be mysterious, didn't let Lou Ji get up, and walked out of the living room by himself.
The building was confused, and a little dissatisfied, and didn't like such an accident.
There seemed to be a noise on the roof, and the building held back its curiosity and drank tea slowly.
It didn't take long for Guo Shifeng to push the door into the hall, flash to the side, get out of the door, and said solemnly: "Please allow me to introduce to my younger brother - the first swordsman in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Hong Daohui, Hong Daxia." ”
Suddenly, it turned out that Guo Shifeng was going to introduce the assassin to him.
In the whole plan, the assassin is very important, Lou Ji has always wanted to see it, Ma Wei may not introduce it as soon as possible, Guo Shifeng suddenly brought it, which made Lou Ji very surprised.
The building stood up to greet him, but no one showed up outside the door.
Guo Shifeng smiled and coughed, "Hong Daxia crisscrossed the rivers and lakes in his early years, retired to the mountains and forests in the first two years, and it was difficult to get out of the mountains once. Hong Daxia said that it was the first time they met, and he was going to bring a gift, so he arrived later than me. ”
The building didn't even see anyone, and he didn't know who to talk to, so he had to hug his fists at the door and said: "Hong Daxia is too polite, I'm unprepared here, I'm ashamed, Hong Daxia...... Is it there? ”
Guo Shifeng was a little embarrassed, "It should have arrived, I obviously heard ......"
Before he finished speaking, a large black shadow poured in, and the door of the hall closed, and the oil lamp on the table flickered incessantly, almost extinguished.
Both of them in the hall were taken aback and were speechless for a long time.
When the wind and lights were on, the building finally saw the appearance of the comer.
It was a man in his thirties, not too tall, the whole person was extremely refined, wrapped in a black cloak, only his head was exposed, his eyes were shining, his cheeks were fleshless, and his expression was so serious that he looked like a cool official who was ordered to try a case.
Guo Shifeng laughed, "Come like a storm, go like lightning, worthy of being Hong Daxia." Come, let me introduce to you, this is the son of Lou Jilou, the first genius of the Luxue Pavilion, the son of the general of Chaolou, and his biological mother is the princess of Wu Kingdom. ”
Lou Ji was about to speak, Hong Daohui grabbed him in two steps, and saluted respectfully, "Jiangdong Buyi Hong Daohui, it is an honor to meet Lou Gongzi and the grandson of King Wu." ”
Lou Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, "Your Excellency is from Wu Guo?" ”
"Born in Jiangdong, grew up in Jiangdong, when he was a teenager, he had to meet a master, was accepted as a disciple, at the age of fifteen, he traveled all over the world, visited the strange people of the famous mountains and rivers, his skills gradually improved, he was homesick, he returned to his hometown at the age of thirty, and his hometown was no longer there, and he often hated it in his heart, thinking that he had learned this ability in vain, and he had been thinking about it for nearly 20 years."
Lou was shocked, this person looked in his thirties, who knew that he was a fifty-year-old man, "Lou grew up in the eastern capital, never traveled far, really ashamed of the mother country, today to see Jiangdong strong man, enough to comfort the regret of life." ”
Qingcha and freshwater seemed too rude, Lou Ji wanted to wake up the old servant and get together a few drinks and dishes, Guo Shifeng came over, grabbed the arms of the two, and said with a smile: "I know that the two of you must be familiar at first sight, and those who do big things are not informal, so let's not be polite, sit down and talk." ”
Hong Daohui didn't sit down, reached into his arms, took out a strand of hair, and put it on the table, "I came in a hurry, I can only prepare this thin gift, please smile at the young man." ”
The building is puzzled, "This is ......"
"Hong has no other skills, he will do some tricks of flying eaves and walking on the wall, I heard that Lou Gongzi has a person he hates the most in his life, so I entered his house at night and took half of his hair, which is considered to be a lesson for him."
Lou Ji was shocked and even more puzzled, "I don't have the person I hate the most......"
Guo Shifeng interjected: "I dare to guarantee that the black-haired dog Zhou Lu will not dare to go out for a few months, and he will not disturb his brother again." ”
Lou Ji really doesn't like Zhou Lu, but he has no hatred, "Ma Gongzi said that I hate Zhou Lu the most?" ”
Guo Shifeng pointed to the hair on the table, "Hong Daxia's ability, what does the younger brother think?" ”
Lou Ji knew that this was not the time to be overly careful, and hurriedly said: "I can't imagine that there is really a strange person like Hong Daxia in the world, Lou is shallow and ugly, and today he finally opened his eyes." ”
The three of them sat down separately, Lou Ji wanted to find some wine, Guo Shifeng persuaded him, Hong Daohui also said that he had quit drinking for many years, "Hong made an oath many years ago: Zhang's tyrant will not be removed, and he will not drink in this life." ”
Lou Ji was ashamed and asked, "Hong Daxia has a grudge against the imperial court?" ”
"Hong has no selfish vendetta, I avenge the people of the world. Over the years, Hong has traveled north and south, seeing how difficult the people's livelihood is, listening to complaints, and always having a generous ambition in his heart. What's more, I am an old citizen of Wu State, and I was unable to turn the tide back then, and now I want to be ashamed of my homeland. ”
Lou Ji felt a little respectful in his heart, and arched his hand: "I often hear people say that Wu Shi loves the country, and after seeing Hong Daxia, he knows that this is true." ”
"Thanks to Lou Gongzi's high opinion, Hong is willing to take this risk, but he actually has selfish intentions. I think that at the beginning, because of my carelessness, I left traces when I killed a bully for the people, and I was chased and killed by the government's minions. After a long time, the Marquis of Yue was the former Emperor of Liang, who loved to make friends with heroes and help the poor, so he went to defect. Master Ma Hou didn't have to say, he left me to hide in the mansion for a few months, and after the wind calmed down, he personally sent me out of the city. This favor is not repaid, and Hong is ashamed of the word 'chivalry'. ”
Ma Wei does like to make friends, because of his special status, he has few contacts with people in the court, and most of the people who come and go out of the house are heroes in the rivers and lakes.
The three of them chatted, most of them were Hong Daohui alone, telling all kinds of anecdotes, and the other two were dumbfounded.
The tea had already cooled, and the oil lamp had been cut seven or eight times, Hong Daohui wiped his mouth, got up and said goodbye, "If you don't say anything else, Hong won't say more, just wait for Lou Gongzi to find out the exact news, Hong will fight hard, and he will also get rid of this great harm for the world." ”
Lou Ji got up and bowed deeply, "If you have thousands of troops, Lou has no doubts, this matter will be done!" ”
Hong Daohui smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Don't work to send each other, there will be a period later." ”
Hong Daohui strode out of the hall, there was no sound of the door opening outside, and the person was nowhere to be seen.
Guo Shifeng was also about to say goodbye, and said with a smile: "Brother Brother, I'm no longer worried about this time, right?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm confident now, but it's a pity that the humble house is small and I don't have the opportunity to see Hong Daxia's skills."
Guo Shifeng pointed to the hair on the table, "This is not enough?" Entering and exiting the Hou Mansion is like entering a no-man's land, swinging a sword and slashing is like probing a bag to get something, what is the difficulty of taking a human head? ”
"Brother Guo misunderstood, I don't believe it, but it's a pity that I can't see the peerless swordsmanship with my own eyes."
"Hehe, Hong Daxia will be able to retreat with his whole body, if you want to see his swordsmanship, there are many opportunities."
The building is leisurely and fascinating.
Sending Guo Shifeng to the gate, Lou Ji asked: "Luo Bing patrols the streets, can Brother Guo walk at night?" ”
"Brother don't worry, King Guangling has a deep foundation in the Eastern Capital, and I have a lot of strength to enter Beijing this time, as long as I don't break into the palace, the road is unimpeded, haha." Guo Shifeng left, very satisfied with this meeting.
Lou Ji was also very satisfied, so excited that he couldn't sleep, went back to the bedroom to get the knife, pulled out the sheath and looked at it for a while, and sighed: "Brother Dao, you are really a talent in my hands, from now on, you will recuperate in the box and wait for the new master." ”
Lou Ji put the knife into the sheath, turned off the lights and went to bed, tossing and turning, thinking about whether he still had a chance to get close to the emperor again, if the general did not have this way, was there any other way......
The building had been looking for its way all night, and when he woke up the next day, exhausted, as if he had really walked for hours.
Breakfast was porridge, and the old servant waited on the side, waiting for the master to put down the bowl, and he said, "Childe had a guest last night?" ”
"Yes, a classmate." The building base said vaguely.
"Not one, right?"
"Uh, both. Disturbing your sleep? ”
"It doesn't matter if I sleep or not, I'm just worried about my son."
"It's just a conversation with classmates, what's there to worry about?" Lou Ji asked with a smile.
The old servant snorted twice, "Why don't you go through the door, you have to climb the roof?" To be honest, just looking at this kind of behavior, it doesn't look like a good person. ”
Lou Ji was stunned, "You...... Did you hear a sound last night? ”
"Just past my roof, how can you not hear such a loud voice? It's just when you come, and you have to go to the room when you go, don't you know where the door is? ”
Lou Ji was stunned, he didn't listen to the old servant's next nagging, and there were only a few thoughts back and forth in his heart: Is Hong Daohui the kind of swordsman he imagined? I'm not a gullible person, why was I fascinated last night? How much do Guo Shifeng and Ma Wei know about this person?
"Alas, you must be cautious when making friends, you are the son of a general, you have to pay attention to reputation, and ......"
Lou Ji got up and walked out, the old servant held the bowl and shook his head helplessly.
Lou Ji must go to see Ma Wei immediately and ask the doubts in his heart clearly.
There was no one in the alley, only three children playing, and when they saw the building, they pointed at him and smirked, obviously hearing about him being thrown out of the General's Mansion.
Lou Ji quickened his pace, a carriage came on, the alley was narrow and the car was fast, Lou Ji hurriedly avoided, and before he looked up, the car had stopped nearby, and two hands stretched out from above, dragging him up.
Zhou Lu's eyes were red, half pitiful, half vicious and whispered, "You must come with me today, they ...... They're going to do it to me! ”
Lou Ji thought of the strand of hair and knew that there was a misunderstanding.
