Chapter 107: King Huainan
"...... with Xu Fu's peers," Wu Mian pondered for a moment, and picked up a piece of air-dried chicken. Remembering the greasy hand just now, Fat Pavilion put the chicken back on the plate. After a pause, he looked at the return and continued: "You knew last night, right? and then deliberately led to the bodies of several people in the Guangzi generation...... Xu Fu's Fang Shi, are you sure you can provoke it? ”
"It's not me, it's your ......" The old guy smiled at Wu Mian's teeth, and while he didn't have a seizure, he continued: "You also look too highly at the old guys who were kicked out of the wall by Xu Fu, Xu Fu is Xu Fu, they are them." There are more than 100 registered disciples under Xu Fu's seat, do you think they can all be compared with the four people of the Guangzi generation? ”
Gui Wu poured himself a glass of wine, and after drinking it in one gulp, he continued: "He is the only one who has cultivated great magical powers in Xu Fu's generation. The monks of his generation withered one after another because of the lack of Taoism and the fact that their system was not suitable after the birth of the elixir in the later period. However, I have heard of a few people who were kicked out of the door wall, and then I don't know what method was used, and they lived for hundreds of years. Don't think that if you live for a long time, you will be high, some of them used Xu Fu's name to deceive outside, and they were met by Guangxiao's apprentice. Do you know what the consequences are? The person I should call Uncle Shi has no ability to fight back at all, if it weren't for the arrival of his master Guangxiao later, he would have sent that old guy directly to reincarnation. ”
When he spoke, the old guy didn't think that the bacon and air-dried chicken had been touched by the pavilion chief, so he pulled a few pieces of lean meat into his mouth and chewed them slowly. Seeing that the more he chewed, the more fragrant he became, Wu Mian still couldn't eat the dishes on the plate. It wasn't until the old man swallowed the food in his mouth that he spoke, "How can you be sure that person is among the retinue of King Huainan?" ”
After glancing at the stunned village chief, he said to Wu Mian with a smile: "It's a coincidence, that person came over last night to make a fuss, and today the king of Huainan came to worship the river." If it is a normal day, it will come, the old man I have lived for too long, I don't know anything else, and it is not a coincidence that there are too many coincidences. ”
From beginning to end, the village chief did not shy away from the village chief, and the village chief Xiang who listened to it was in a cold sweat. If it weren't for Xiang Yu's soul in his body, he would have found a chance now and didn't know where to run.
After staying in the restaurant for a while, he glanced at the sky outside, and then said to Wu Mian: "It's almost time, I'm going to visit the pavilion chief......" When he came out of the restaurant, he had already seen officers and soldiers on the street who began to check on passers-by. Fortunately, the village chief recognized the sentry commander with the troops, and said that the two were going to see the pavilion chief, so they avoided it.
After almost half a pillar of incense, the village chief led the way, and the two of them arrived in front of the town's official office. When he was about to go inside, he saw the fat pavilion chief coming out of it, and several people almost bumped into each other. After seeing the three of them, the pavilion chief first took them to the corner, and after seeing that there was no one outside, the fat pavilion chief whispered to the three people in front of him: "The old man Wei Wei who just gave His Royal Highness the King of Huainan has arrived, and I deduced that the time to receive the Jun order is too short, and I can't get together so many people to greet him." found a few distant relatives to fill the scene, and Master Wei acquiesced. Remember ......"
As he spoke, the fat pavilion chief pointed to the return and said, "You are so old that you can be regarded as the father-in-law of our family." The white-haired little brother is the eldest and is one of my distant cousins. Old Xiang, the two of us still come according to the rules of swearing, you are my sworn brother......"
Hearing that he was two generations older than Wu Mian, his eyes narrowed into a straight line. Fortunately, Wu Mian rarely did not have a seizure on the spot, and actually acquiesced to the rank of the fat pavilion chief.
After entering the official office, people came in one after another. However, these people are serious local squires. It may be that the fat pavilion chief explained before these people came in, and when he saw that there were strangers here, no one felt the difference. Whether to return or not is a self-familiar character, and it didn't take long for those people to talk and laugh, and it didn't take long for them to mix like acquaintances.
waited until noon, and someone from everyone quickly came with the news that the king of Huainan was about to arrive here. Subsequently, the Pavilion Chief, together with Wei Wei, took these squires who were ready to welcome them to the entrance of the town. After waiting for half an hour, I saw the dust in the distance, and Wu Mian had already seen more than a dozen horses jogging in the dust, and there were more than a hundred and so sergeants with big shoulders and round waists behind them. In the middle of the caravan were two carriages drawn by two horses each, and the two carriages were covered with lacquer paintings, which looked like they were not used by ordinary people.
After a long time, the horse team finally stopped in front of everyone. After the dust flew by, two men in black cloaks stepped out of the carriage of one of the carriages. The two men were dressed in black from top to bottom, and their faces were covered by cloaks. Someone looked inside the cloak, but all they saw was a black hole. Among these people, only Gui or Wu Mian knew that the two individuals used Fang Shi to hide their appearance.
The two men stared at the crowd for a moment, then exchanged glances. One of them walked to the other carriage and said respectfully to the people in the carriage, "Your Highness, we have arrived at the town at the mouth of the Wujiang River. Please make it clear to Your Highness, are we going directly to Wujiangkou, or are we going to rest here? ”
"Worshipping the river is a matter of the evening, don't rush ......" As he spoke, a young man in his twenties stepped out of the carriage. After getting down and stretching, he said to the two men in black, "Take a rest here, and let them go and prepare for the evening sacrifice to the river." By the way, don't let them prepare any meals this time. It's all dry stuff that I can't swallow when I see it. ”
At this time, the pavilion chief and the guard lieutenant had already trotted in front of the horse team, but they were only blocked by the sergeant and did not dare to move forward. After someone passed through, the young man waved his hand and said, "It's gone, this king is tired of the bumpy road, and no one is there, let them go back." Just prepare a clean house for me to rest, and don't disturb the idlers......"
Before he finished his words, he suddenly heard an old voice from inside the carriage: "Your Highness, it's better to see you." These officials and squires are specially here to greet them, and His Highness should repay them with the courtesy of a gentleman. When he said this, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a white-bearded old man who looked at him in his sixties walked out of it.
"That's not what I thought about it." After seeing this person, the young King Huainan nodded with a smile, and then turned back to the pavilion chief and the guard who were kneeling outside and said, "Get up, you have waited hard." Take this king to meet the squire fathers and elders here, there are a few older people here, it is rare to have such a big sun day......"
In the past few years, it has been the king of Huainan who has come to worship the river, and it has also been served by the pavilion chief and the guard. When had they ever seen this highness so polite, the two of them were grateful to Dade for leading the way in front of the head, and walked towards the squire who greeted him with the king of Huainan. The white-bearded old man and the two black-clothed men followed closely behind the King of Huainan, and the two black-clothed men should be guards and other roles, but it is impossible to guess what the origin of this white-bearded old man is.
Originally, according to the rules, the person who greeted the driver knelt down and listened to a few kind words from the king of Huainan, and it was over. But today, King Huainan suddenly changed the regulations, he stopped the squire who was about to kneel, and said with a smile: "Don't kneel, it's rare for you to have this thought." When I came to worship the river a few times ago, I didn't say a few words to the squires in a hurry, and today's hour is still early, so this king simply took a good look at everyone......"
As King Huainan spoke, the white-bearded old man behind him swept his eyes around the faces of these people like an eagle. When looking at other people, his gaze just swept over, until he saw Wu Mianhe and whether he was returning, his gaze completely stopped on the faces of the two people......
