Chapter 142: Waiting for the Great Driver
Sikong Ming comes and goes quickly.
However, this is very much in line with his style of acting as a "little thief king" - although the title "little thief king" was given by himself.
"Brother, who is he from the Second Dish Wuxiang Hall?" The fifth listener walked behind his brother and followed his brother's line of sight to look out of the window, but he didn't see anything except the people coming and going on the street near the window.
Fifth Tingyun retracted his gaze, closed the window, and said: "He is the small hall master of a branch hall in Fengdu, this time I was able to bypass the pursuit of the criminal department and enter Jiaqing City smoothly, thanks to their Huangxiang Hall." ”
The two returned to the back room and sat down opposite each other at the table.
Bai Jie was busy making tea and pouring water, and never dared to forget her duty as a maid.
Fifth, hearing that the wind was not like his brother, he calmly analyzed: "Brother, you have to be careful. Although the Wuxiangtang is powerful in Tianmen City, it is doing some shady things behind the scenes, and I heard that the Criminal Department has been secretly investigating, so you should be cautious when dealing with them. ”
"Listen to the wind," Fifth Tingyun took a sip of tea, pulled Bai Jie over and sat down, and then said, "Now we have long been included in the opposite side of the Criminal Department, if we don't rely on some underground forces, just you and me, how can we confront the Criminal Department? Father and mother are still in prison, still waiting for us to save them!"
"I know that, I know it. But we don't know who the people are or what they do. Surely they ......are profitable people who can't afford to take you into town for no reason?
Fifth, Tingyun interrupted his younger brother's words: "I have a bottom in my heart, I use each other, take what I need, and I have a sense of proportion." ”
Now that he has talked about this, it is not good for the fifth listener to say anything more, even if he has any opinions about the second dish Wuxiangtang, it is meaningless to dig deeper at this time. The people of their fifth tribe are all tendons, admitting death, and if they think they are right, no one else will be of any avail.
"Brother, Li Chufeng invited you to a banquet the day after tomorrow?" After a short silence, the fifth listener started a different topic. Li Chufeng has only invited the fifth Tingyun, Li Yuandong and Qilu at present, so the Fifth Tingfeng does not know about this matter.
Fifth, Tingyun nodded.
"Hey, this kid still knows how to put on a big banquet and win people's hearts? I said, eighty percent of it was run by the old man of his family, and he wanted to enlist a few of you tomorrow's stars. ”
Regarding his younger brother's words, the fifth Tingyun smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not to entrap us, but to have other plans." Speaking of this, he remembered Li Chufeng's pretended sincere smile again, and added: "It's not good, this is a Hongmen banquet, give us a horse." ”
The fifth listened to the wind and thought about it, but it was not unreasonable, so he asked, "Then are you going?"
The fifth Tingyun was also a little entangled at this time, originally he was thinking, since people have invited, what does it matter if he goes to the banquet? But now, after experiencing Sikong Ming's appearance just now, he hesitated. Sikong Ming would never come over to remind him for no reason, since Sikong Ming is here, it means that there is a big move at this banquet - a big move in the Second Dish Wuxiang Hall!
Linked to some of what he saw and heard in the Tianxiang Main Hall, although he couldn't guess what the Second Dish Wuxiang Hall was going to do, what he could do with the strength of the whole hall was definitely not small. With his own little bit of Taoism, even Sikong Ming could easily kill him, if he was caught in the whirlpool of the collision between the Second Dish Wuxiang Hall and the Li Room, would he be able to come back alive?
"Brother, brother, brother!" didn't get a response for a long time, the fifth listener pushed his brother's shoulder and asked, "What do you want?" everyone has invited, we can't be weak, besides, you and Li Chufeng still have an unfinished battle, if you don't go, others will inevitably gossip......"
Fifth, Tingyun came back to his senses and suppressed many thoughts in his heart: "This matter is not in a hurry, I will think about it again." ”
"Brother, are you determined to take the Entrance Examination to the Seventh School of the Emperor Star?" In fact, when he first heard about his brother's three application plans, the fifth hearing was skeptical. But now, he found that his brother was only one step away from that goal, and as long as he could win one in the final, then he was likely to be favored by Xiaoxiang Academy.
When he came home a year ago, his brother was still a waste who couldn't cultivate. And today, my brother is even better than himself back then, how can the huge changes in between not make the fifth listener happy?
"Otherwise, my father and mother are in prison, and only by getting the bronze badge can we absolutely guarantee their safety. As he said this, the fifth Tingyun clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his arms bulged, as if he was trying to restrain something.
"I'm useless...... I can't do anything......" Fifth Tingfeng can imagine that my brother must have experienced a lot of pain from growing up from waste to now, but he is practicing peacefully in the academy, "If I don't apply, maybe I can also go to Xiaoxiang or Suzhou and Hangzhou to study, so that I can get the bronze badge early." ”
"Silly brother, how can it be so easy?" the fifth Tingyun smiled with satisfaction.
"Yu Linglong can go, I can go too!" said the fifth Tingfeng slapped his palm on the table and said unwillingly.
"The jade girl has a background, strength, and Han Xuanfeng, a teacher. Fifth, Tingyun put forward the objective reality, he didn't want his younger brother to suffer with him, some roads were enough to walk alone, and some hardships could be eaten alone, "What about you? What do you have? What's more, you have been practicing in Jiaqing for more than a year and a half, how can Jiaqing let you go? Why should Xiaoxiang and Suzhou and Hangzhou accept you?"
"I ......"
The fifth Tingyun raised his hand and said, "You are practicing hard in Jiaqing, and preserving yourself is the greatest help to my father, mother, and me!" The fifth Tingfeng nodded silently and with difficulty.
Next, both brothers deliberately avoided the topic. Fifth, Tingyun told his younger brother in detail about his experiences in the past few months, including Bai Jie's affairs, Tan Lei's Yellow River affairs, and the lame three horses, but he didn't say anything about the Liren Sword and Shifu. After all, the sword spirit is pregnant with a sword, it is an ancient thing, and it has a lot to stake, so there is no need to let his younger brother bear this heart for him.
The two brothers chatted until late at night, and Bai Jie sat with them until late at night.
The next day, the three of them walked around Jiaqing City together. With the fifth Tingfeng as a guide, the fifth Tingyun quickly became familiar with Jiaqing City. When it was dark, the fifth Tingyun took some silver coins from his younger brother, bought two sets of new clothes for Bai Jie, and also gave Bai Jie a soft sword for women.
Anyway, Bai Jie has been shouting about learning swords, and he didn't buy her a sword until today, and the fifth Tingyun still felt a little guilty in his heart.
However, Bai Jieke was so happy that she held the sword that night and slept very sweetly.
Time flies, and it's another day in the blink of an eye.
Today is the day when Li Chufeng's family opens a dinner party.
At noon, the fifth Tingyun and Li Yuandong sat in the room, discussing whether to go or not. Fifth, because of something, he had already returned to Jiaqing College at this time.
Sou.
While the Fifth Tingyun and Li Yuandong were discussing, a dart shot through the window and landed on the table in front of the Fifth Tingyun. The two looked at each other in surprise, and saw that there was a note attached to the dart, and hurriedly untied it, which read: The son and maid have been taken into the Li Mansion first, in Tianmen City, waiting for the driver!
Syllable!
Fifth, Tingyun slapped his palm on the table.
"Don't worry. Li Yuandong also had a solemn face at this time, and after calming the fifth Tingyun, he shouted outside the door, "Little fat!"
"Childe. Chubby ran over.
"Isn't Bai Jie with you?" asked Li Yuandong busily.
"She's been out for a while. Xiaopang didn't notice the owner's expression, and said, "She said that she went to ask Xiao Er to prepare lunch, and I thought she would go back to this house first." ”
