Chapter 27 Enough is enough
He Yuxiang walked to Li Yi's side, and the three of them went to the rest of the area to watch.
Lu Rui's appearance is relatively backward, ranked thirty-sixth, no matter what, he has to fight until the afternoon before it is his turn, Li Yi is eighty-eight, they went to see the progress of Qi Yi'an's competition, the two sides are fighting to the bottom to retain their strength, a game down about half an hour, so calculated, he has no chance to play today.
An hour later, they all went to see the four martial arts arenas, and basically knew the strength and weakness of the other swordsmen, there were many people who were purely here to make up the numbers, and they were defeated in less than ten moves, and they cried for their fathers and mothers. From their conversation, I learned that many people came to see the first beauty in Gangneung, anyway, after watching more than a dozen scenes, not a single powerful character appeared, and there was no explosion point.
The strongest swordsmen in the overall strength are gathered in Qiyi'an, and the weakest is Xiaoyunlu, I don't know if there will be powerful characters behind.
On the way back to the inn, they met Zhong Mu and others, and when Zhong Mu saw Li Yi and others, his cold face changed to a kind smile.
Zhong Nan saw that his brother's face changed extremely quickly, and he touched his chin and looked at those people in confusion.
Zhong Mu walked quickly in front of them, saluted the three of them, and greeted respectfully: "Young Master Li Yi, what a coincidence!" Are you going back to the inn? ”
"Hmm!" Li Yi nodded.
Zhong Mu asked, "It's just right, let's go back too, can we be together?" ”
Li Yi smiled: "Of course you can." ”
Zhong Nan saw his brother chatting with others and forgot about himself, so he hurriedly trotted over, stood beside Zhong Mu, raised his head and asked him curiously, "Brother, are they your friends?" ”
Zhong Mu was about to walk with Li Yi and the three of them, almost forgetting that there was a younger brother behind him, and nodded: "Hmm! Anan, this is Li Yi's son, He Yuxiang's son and Lu Rui's son. ”
"Hello, three sons! My name is Zhong Nan. Zhong Nan patted his chest and introduced himself, looking at the handsome three people in front of him, his smile was gloomy, and he finally saw the true face of Lushan.
He Yuxiang clasped his hands around his chest, looked Zhong Nan up and down, coughed twice, and pretended to be majestic, "Zhong Nan, call my brother." ”
"Why?" Zhong Nan was very reluctant.
He Yuxiang stared at him and said, "How can there be so many whys, call it or not?" ”
Zhong Nan turned his head and pouted and ignored him, "I won't." ”
Li Yi looked at He Yuxiang and said coldly: "Yuxiang, just do it in moderation." ”
He Yuxiang obediently closed his mouth, the atmosphere seemed a little embarrassing, seeing this, Zhong Mu said: "I'll invite everyone to dinner, the last visit was a little hasty, bothering Li Yigongzi, you broke the bank, the local Qianzhang buckle meat is good, Li Yigongzi want to try it?" ”
Li Yi did not refuse: "Hmm! I've been in Gangneung for a few days, but I've only heard of it, but I haven't tasted it yet. ”
He Yu didn't notice him when he was talking to Li Yi and Zhong Mu, so he secretly walked to Zhong Nan's side, and finally met someone younger than him, how could He Yuxiang let him go easily, of course he had to tease him, besides, it wasn't too much to just shout at his brother, right?
Li Yi and Zhong Mu were side by side in front, and Lu Rui, He Yuxiang and Zhong Nan and others were behind.
Zhong Nan insisted on refusing to call him brother, He Yuxiang put his arms around his shoulders and pinched his chin, wanting to pry his mouth open, if he didn't call He Yuxiang, he wouldn't stop, Zhong Nan kept his lips closed, and whined in resistance, which was really miserable.
Zhong Mu asked as he walked, "Young Master Li Yi, what do you think of today's sword competition?" ”
"General." Li Yi's hidden line is that no powerful characters have appeared so far.
"I think Li Yi Gongzi is quite behind, it shouldn't be your turn to play today, Lu Gongzi is ranked thirty-six, and it's not so fast, He Gongzi is at the front, and he has already competed, I heard that He Gongzi successfully entered the next round, and his strength must be extraordinary."
"There's no need to praise him too much, he'll be proud." Li Yi shook the fan, and when he heard Zhong Mu's title, he smiled faintly, "Zhong Mu, you and I are the same generation, you don't have to call me son in the future, just call me by my name." ”
"Okay."
The most noisy thing along the way was He Yuxiang and Zhong Nan, Zhong Nan was quite unhappy when he was teased by He Yuxiang at first, and he didn't know what He Yu said to him, Zhong Nan seemed to have changed his temperament, and the two of them were still talking and laughing.
In the lobby of the Qian Mansion, a man in official uniform, more than fifty years old, reprimanded several subordinates with a red face.
"It's been so many days, and there is still no progress at all, do you really want to land your head?" Qian Fangshen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"It's the subordinates who are not doing well, and Jiang Kuo is at the mercy of Lord Tingwei." Jiang Kuo, who was the leader, was very affectionate and voluntarily pleaded guilty.
The few people behind Jiang Kuo cowered, and they kept bowing their heads and didn't dare to say anything.
Qian Fangshen watched his right-hand man take the blame, and he didn't know where to throw his anger, so he shook his sleeves and sat down on a chair.
The subordinate brought the tea with interest, Qian Fangshen suppressed the anger in his heart and took the teacup, took a sip after blowing it cold, and said: "Jiang Kuo, you have followed me for many years, and everything I tell you to do is done beautifully, not dragging mud and water, but you also know that this time the emperor is in a hurry, only giving a one-month deadline, and now that the time has passed for eight days, I have not found a clue, how can I explain to the emperor?" ”
"What Lord Tingwei said is extremely true, Jiang Kuo must do his best to track down the whereabouts of the thief." Jiang Kuo's fist clenched a little harder.
"It's good if you're white." Qian Fang sighed deeply, got up and paced back and forth uneasily, "What is the progress on the thief Saint Du Xun's side?" ”
"Lord Tingwei, Du Xun himself is elusive, and his traces are difficult to find, and he is currently ...... There are no clues yet. Jiang Kuo bowed his head and replied.
Qian Fang softened deeply, and his tone was a lot kinder, "A person who steals for a living, and he doesn't have anything valuable to guide him, do you think he will appear easily?" ”
Qian Fangshen's words woke Jiang Kuo, and he immediately replied, "I know how to do it, Lord Tingwei." ”
"Go to the treasury to get my glazed jade cup, immediately release the news outside the city, set up the trap, and don't relax." Qian Fangshen's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he continued to order, "In addition, send more people to search the whole city, and give me a door-to-door search, as long as I find anything suspicious, I can't let anyone go." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey." After Jiang Kuo saluted, he hurriedly stepped back to prepare.
Qian Fangshen's wife, Shangguan Tong, was dressed in luxurious silk, gold and silver jewelry, rouge and makeup, elegant and virtuous, and her charm still existed, she walked in front of Qian Fangshen and comforted: "Master, there is always a way for you to dissipate your anger." ”
"Madam, this matter is extremely urgent, it can't be delayed for a moment, and now the case is not clear, I'm afraid I can't be safe!" Qian Fangshen held Shangguan Tong's hand and trembled slightly, without any joy.
