Chapter 63: Friend and Foe (3)
Steward Zhao brought the three of Xu Dai to the place where the head of the Gao family had set up a banquet, which was a separate courtyard, the courtyard was brightly lit, and a lot of flowers and plants were planted, which set off the courtyard very beautifully.
Xu Dai had already written down the layout of the Gao family, of course, it was only the road they had traveled when they came, but they were also familiar with it, if there was really something wrong later, Xu Dai would be able to take Zhao Bing and Wei Qi to find the most correct way out.
"The head of the family, these are the strong men during the day. Steward Zhao brought the three of Xu Dai to the head of the Gao family and said respectfully to the head of the Gao family.
"A few people are finally here, but Gao is waiting for him. The head of the Gao family stood up directly and invited the three of Xu Dai to the banquet very warmly.
Xu Dai smiled slightly, and exchanged a few polite words with the master of the Gao family. Zhao Bing was naturally not interested in listening to the conversation between these two people who were as clever as old foxes, and after he entered the banquet, he began to eat and drink nonsense, regardless of whether the banquet was held or not.
"The head of the Gao family is really a nobleman, and he deserves to be the dragon and phoenix among people. After Xu Dai took his seat, he smiled at the head of the Gao family.
The head of the Gao family waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome." ”
"Rong Gao asked how about the names of the three strong men?"
Xu Dai did not hide it and said his name, Zhao Bing and Wei Qi saw that Xu Dai said his name truthfully, and they also said their names. Xu Dai knew that the head of the Gao family must know their names, after all, the Gao family even knew which inn Xu Dai and they lived in, so how could they not find out Xu Dai's name at the inn?
The reason why Xu Dai said his real name was naturally because he believed that the news of Shen Jiangtang would not spread so quickly, after all, Cheng Liang and the others had not yet arrived at Juyue.
"It turned out to be Mr. Xu, Jiuyang. The head of the Gao family arched his hand to Xu Dai with a fake smile on his face.
Xu Dai said with a smile: "The master of the Gao family is polite, Xu Dai is just a nobody." ”
The head of the Gao family smiled slightly, poured a glass of wine for the three of Xu Dai, then raised the wine glass and said, "Gao Mou respects you a glass of wine." ”
The three of Xu Dai raised their heads and drank the wine, and the head of the Gao family said: "Several people are so strong, have you ever thought about getting an errand?"
Xu Dai knew the mind of the head of the Gao family, so he shook his head and smiled: "There is no such idea for the time being, we are all lazy people, and we will definitely not be able to adapt to joining other forces." ”
The head of the Gao family looked disappointed and said, "I see. Gao also wanted to ask a few people to be my Gao family's offerings, but he didn't expect to return disappointed. ”
"The head of the Gao family is serious, the three of us are just insignificant little people, how can we let a character like the head of the Gao family disappoint us once?" Xu Dai said with a smile, but his heart became vigilant, and he refused the first olive branch thrown by the head of the Gao family, I don't know if the head of the Gao family can't help but let the master of the Gao family do it.
However, Xu Dai was obviously overly concerned, and the head of the Gao family just flashed a cold glint in his eyes, but he didn't make any moves afterwards.
I didn't expect the head of the Gao family to be so forbearing, and Xu Dai couldn't help but glance at this head of the Gao family.
"Master Gao, a few of us have just arrived in Juyue, but when we entered Juyue, we heard that Juyue came some time ago, an old man and a young person, two amazing characters, is it convenient for the head of the Gao family to talk about it for us?" Zhao Bing put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating and drinking, and asked the head of the Gao family.
The head of the Gao family was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That old man and young man are indeed amazing characters, especially that old man, he is a super-first-class master in Changzhou in the past. ”
"Lu Yangxu?" Wei Qi interjected.
The head of the Gao family nodded and said, "This senior Lu Yangxu Lu once had a deep friendship with his father, so he has a deep relationship with my Gao family. ”
"At the beginning, he became famous in Changzhou with the dog god knife in his hand, but he suddenly retired at the peak. It was also at that time that Senior Lu came to Juyue and presented the dog god to his father. Since then, he has never heard anything from this senior Lu. ”
Xu Dai listened quietly and did not speak, but he didn't expect that the Gao family still had a certain friendship with Lu Yangxu. For the words of the head of the Gao family, Xu Dai naturally would not believe all of them, after all, if the relationship between the Gao family and Lu Yangxu was really as good as he said, the Gao family would not be reduced to being a subsidiary family of the Shenjiang Hall of the Qiuyang Gang Branch.
"It wasn't until a few days ago that Senior Lu came with a child. At that time, I didn't think that this old man was Senior Lu, but it wasn't until the shouting of Senior Lu two days ago that I knew that this old man who was in the limelight in Juyue was actually Senior Lu Yangxu. And Gao naturally returned the dog god, and Senior Lu left Juyue with the child. ”
After listening to the words of the head of the Gao family, Xu Dai nodded slightly. He knows some of the secrets of Lu Yangxu's retreat, that is, when Lu Yangxu was in the limelight, his friend suddenly attacked him, but the result was that Lu Yangxu killed his friend, and although Lu Yangxu was not dead, he was betrayed by his friend, but his heart died. And in the end, Lu Yangxu did not kill this friend's family, but put the dog god knife that he had carried for many years in his friend's family. Combined with the words of the head of the Gao family, Xu Dai guessed the truth of the matter.
It's just that Lu Yangxu's incense relationship with the Gao family was also broken, and Lu Yangxu took the dog god from the Gao family, which means that Lu Yangxu will no longer think of the friendship with his friends and let go of the Gao family.
"Master Gao, aren't you distressed that the Dog God Sword was taken away by Senior Lu Yangxu?" asked Xu Dai casually.
The head of the Gao family shook his head and smiled, with a look of fake reverence: "The dog god is the treasure knife of Lu seniors, the so-called treasure knife is a hero, and the dog god can return to the hands of Lu seniors is also its final destination." Keeping it in the Gao family will only make this knife dusty. ”
Xu Dai also pretended to praise: "The head of the Gao family is worthy of being a heroic hero, there are trade-offs and trade-offs, Xu Dai admires it tightly!"
The head of the Gao family smiled and waved his hand: "Senior Lu seems to have taken away the dog god for that child, and I don't know whose child is so lucky that he can be valued by Senior Lu." ”
In the past few days, I have been hearing people boasting about Lu Yangxu, and there is little mention of that child, Xu Dai couldn't help but be interested, and asked: "That child can be valued by Lu seniors, and he must have a strong talent for knife training." ”
Saying that, Xu Dai remembered that Honglie, whose life and death are unknown until now, Honglie also has an amazing talent for knife training, especially in terms of perseverance, as long as Xu Dai has commanded something, Honglie will definitely do his best and do it unremittingly.
"How strong is that kid's strength is far from what it seems. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I've heard it said. That kid didn't have any strength, not even the strength of a half-step second-grade, but he was able to use a set of flowing knife techniques, and under his simple knife, he had killed several second-grade masters!" The head of the Gao family sighed.
Xu Dai also expressed curiosity about the identity of this child, with such strong strength and talent, this child's achievements in the future will definitely be very high. As long as this kid doesn't take the wrong path, under Lu Yangxu's teaching, he will even have the opportunity to set foot in the realm of human immortals, which has always been ethereal!
"This kid is Senior Lu's apprentice, and being able to let Senior Lu take him as a disciple is enough to see how powerful this kid is. Seeing that Xu Dai squinted his eyes and didn't speak, the head of the Gao family continued, "But this kid has something that Senior Lu doesn't like. ”
Xu Dai asked, "Oh?
"I don't know why, that kid doesn't like to call Senior Lu Master, most of the time he calls Senior Lu Senior as an old man, and only under Senior Lu's emphasis, this child will call Senior Lu Master. The head of the Gao family said with a smile, "If I were this kid, I would definitely call Senior Master Lu all day and night, and I can't wait to please Senior Lu so much, where can I be like him?"
Xu Dai smiled and said, "This kid is really a weird person, but only a weird person can get the favor of the former sword demon Lu Yangxu." ”
The head of the Gao family nodded slightly, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and there was no more topic, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was cold again.
A group of uninvited guests quietly entered the Gao family, and the leader of this group glanced at the subordinates who followed behind him, and said in a low voice: "Separate actions and go find the Dog God Sword." ”
