Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Walls Have Ears

Chang Kun, the leader of Yuqian Street, broke with Lei Peng and completely defeated the other party in the battle of Huaishupo, and the news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chenzhou City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are clapping hands.

There are jokes to watch.

There are also those who wait and see which direction the wind is.

There were even a few street leaders who followed Chang Kun's example and asked Lei Peng to be exempted from paying money.

In short, Chenzhou City seems to have changed overnight.

……

That night, in the No. 2 room of the guest inn, Wu Yanxiu, Zhang Baoer, and Mu Qian were chatting happily.

There are wine and dishes on the table, and the wine is still the daughter red who drank in Zuixiaolou last time, and the dishes are much simpler, a plate of peanuts, a plate of braised beef, and a cut roast chicken.

Wu Yanxiu asked: "Bao'er, what did you think about when Shopkeeper Chen said about going to Chang'an last time, and what are your plans for the next step?" ”

Although Wu Yanxiu has only met Zhang Baoer a few times, his good impression of the little beggar in front of him is increasing day by day, no, even the title has changed from Brother Zhang to Bao'er.

"I told Master about this, and Master firmly disagreed!" Zhang Bao'er didn't seem to be discouraged, he said with a smile: "However, there is still a chance, when I handle the affairs of Chenzhou neatly, I will definitely convince him!" ”

Mu Qian couldn't help but muttered after listening to it: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't go to Chang'an?" Why don't you give up? ”

Zhang Bao'er stared at Mu Qian and said curiously: "I said Mu Qian, what's wrong with you, it seems that you have a great enmity with Chang'an." ”

Regarding Mu Qian's attitude, Zhang Baoer has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Of course, this all stems from the reason why Mu Qian sacrificed his life to save his life. People can even give up their lives for themselves, what reason does Zhang Baoer have to be cold to others?

Mu Qian wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Bao'er smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, this time we will go, it will be different from the last time you went, with the master here and your master and ancestor, it will never be possible for you to be wronged again." ”

After that, Zhang Bao'er picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to Wu Yanxiu: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, if you hadn't made a timely move, maybe I wouldn't have had the opportunity to sit here and drink with you!" ”

Wu Yanxiu smiled slightly: "It's a trivial matter, why do you have to talk about it all the time?" Come, Bao'er, we've had this toast! ”

The two drank it all, Zhang Baoer put the cup on the table, wiped her mouth and said to Wu Yanxiu: "What Wu Gongzi said is right, I don't thank you for your kindness, I won't mention this matter, let's be practical." Didn't you say last time that you wanted to show me the portrait of your friend, now let me see it, and I can help you find him! ”

Wu Yanxiu nodded slightly, turned around and took out a painting scroll from his bag, opened the scroll and handed it to Zhang Bao'er.

Zhang Baoer looked carefully, and the painting was a handsome boy, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, looking wild and uninhibited, looking like a rich son.

Mu Qian also stepped up, and when he saw the person on the portrait, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and even spilled the wine in front of Bao Zhang Bao'er.

Zhang Bao'er stared at Mu Qian in astonishment: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Mu Qianqiang smiled: "I accidentally touched the wound!" ”

Zhang Baoer shook her head and said: "I said to let you rest at home, you just want to come out with you, isn't this asking for hardship?" ”

In the battle of Huaishupo, He Shi attacked Zhang Baoer, Mu Qian sacrificed himself to save him, Zhang Baoer escaped, but Mu Qian was stabbed. Although the injury was not serious, it was not light, and Mu Qian's shoulder was shaved off a piece of flesh. After Lang Zhong bandaged it, he told Mu Qian to recuperate, but where could Mu Qian be idle. Invite Zhang Bao'er to drink tonight, Zhang Bao'er didn't plan to bring him here, but he couldn't stand Mu Qian's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to reluctantly agree.

Zhang Bao'er continued to look at the portrait, and asked Wu Yanxiu without raising her head: "Wu Gongzi, can you tell me, what is the name of this friend of yours?" What does it do? ”

Wu Yanxiu hesitated, not knowing how to explain to Zhang Baoer.

The last time I was drinking, Chen Song was also present, and Zhang Baoer asked this question, and Wu Yanxiu was hesitant at that time. This time, Wu Yanxiu was still hesitant, which made Zhang Baoer have doubts in her heart. His heart couldn't help but move, remembering what Lu Zhutou said to Lao Zhaohua at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion that day.

Zhang Bao'er asked tentatively, "Master Wu, have you heard?" The chief arrester of the Criminal Department also came to Chenzhou a few days ago, and it is said that he came to arrest some court criminals? ”

Wu Yanxiu nodded: "I heard about it too!" ”

Zhang Bao'er gritted her teeth, stopped going around in circles, and said bluntly: "Wu Gongzi, to tell you the truth, is this friend you are looking for the Qin criminal who is the head of the Criminal Department wants to arrest?" ”

Wu Yanxiu did not answer Zhang Bao'er, but asked rhetorically: "What would happen if this friend of mine was the same person as the Qin prisoner arrested by the Criminal Department?" ”

Zhang Bao'er was just about to speak, Wu Yanxiu suddenly glanced at Zhang Bao'er, put her index finger on her lips, and motioned for Zhang Bao'er to be silent.

Zhang Bao'er didn't understand what Wu Yanxiu meant, and looked at him in a daze.

Wu Yanxiu casually picked up a peanut with chopsticks, but did not put it in his mouth, and with a movement of his wrist, the peanut snorted through the window paper and shot out of the window.

I only heard a muffled grunt from outside the window.

Zhang Baoer suddenly realized that someone outside the window was eavesdropping on their conversation.

In the first battle of Huaishupo, Wu Yanxiu made a move at a critical moment, and Zhang Baoer saw his superb martial arts with his own eyes. This time, Wu Yanxiu quietly showed her hand again, and Zhang Baoer was even more eye-opening, and she couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly.

Wu Yanxiu didn't get up either, but just said loudly out of the window: "It doesn't matter if you are from the Criminal Department or from Qiufeng Hall, go back and tell the principal that Wu and your well water do not violate the river water." Next time you do these sneaky things in front of Wu, don't be polite to Wu.

There was silence outside the window, no sound.

Wu Yanxiu smiled at Zhang Bao'er: "Okay, now no one is eavesdropping, you say!" ”

Zhang Bao'er said sincerely: "Brother Wu, don't say that you saved my life, but because you treat me as a brother, I should also repay you." Although I'm just an inconspicuous Hanako, at least I still have righteousness. Don't worry, whether your friend is a prisoner or not, I will help you find him, please trust me! ”

"I knew I was right!" Wu Yanxiu was moved: "Bao'er, how can I not believe it? I won't hide it from you, then this friend is the abolished prince Li Chongjun! ”

"The abolished prince Li Chongjun?" It was the first time Zhang Baoer had heard of this name.

"Li Chongjun and I have been good friends since we were young, and we have been counting it for 20 years. When we were young, we agreed that we would go to the end of the world together in the future. But creation made people, and I escorted the envoy to the Turks, and I was stranded there for many years. And he became the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Although he became the crown prince, he never forgot my brother, and sent people to visit me secretly in the Turks many times, bringing me many things, and I will never forget such a friendship for the rest of my life. As soon as I returned from the Turks, I heard that he had been forced to commit suicide because of his rebellion! I don't believe he would rebel, let alone commit suicide, and no one in the world knows him better than I do. I firmly believe that he is still alive in this world. ”

Wu Yanxiu's face was stunned, and he was still immersed in memories.

Mu Qian seemed to be moved by Wu Yanxiu, and even burst into tears silently.
