When Gao Xu carried Luo Xuan's bloody head and returned to the caravan, he was immediately treated like a hero, even An Hong and Zeyue didn't care about their identities, they greeted them in person, and the three of them entered the tent with a smile.
"Gao Xian's nephew is really a good skill!" An Hong called Gao Xu a virtuous nephew yesterday, which was just polite on the surface, and he was very hypocritical, but now, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, held Gao Xu's left hand, and shook it again and again, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the virtuous nephew, this great old man must express it well!" ”
"Old fox, want to dig into the wall?" Zeyue was anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly grabbed Gao Xu's right hand and said, "Brother Gao, did you hurt anything?" Although your martial arts are strong, the enemy is ruthless and will do everything, and the foolish brother is very worried! ”
"On the spur of the moment, the two of them are annoyed!" Gao Xu smiled humbly and said apologetically to Zeyue, "Gao Xu is ashamed that he failed to recapture the goods for the gang, and he asked the young helper to punish him." ”
"What Brother Gao said, it's not because of you at all!" Seeing that Gao Xu was still facing the Longyou Gang, Zeyue breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and analyzed, "I don't think the goods were robbed by those two people, their style of acting is very different from that one last night, it is estimated that it is two groups of people, alas......"
"Thank you Brother Ze for your understanding!" The three big men were holding hands, which was very awkward, so Gao Xu took advantage of the situation to retreat and hugged his fists, "Please rest assured, Brother Ze, the goods must be traced back, unless that person runs to the corner and does not appear for the rest of his life, I will definitely pull him out!" ”
"Good nephew is so ambitious!" Before Zeyue could answer, An Hong took another step and said: "Come on, come on, sit down and say, sit down and say, how tired it is to stand!" ”
"I see that Brother Gao has experienced a series of battles, he must be tired, it is better to go back and rest and rest, it just so happens that everyone also needs to settle down before they can go on the road!" Zeyue deeply felt that compared with An Hong, an old fox, he was definitely not an opponent, so he was ready to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle and directly block An Hong's opportunity to win over Gao Xu.
"That's fine, that's fine!" An Hong's face darkened, and he couldn't find any other excuses, so he had to think with a dry smile, "Hairy boy, you also want to fight with me?" I can't believe I won't find a chance in the next few days! This son is strong, and he has no reputation background, he is definitely buried in the Longyou Gang, it is better to bring it back and let the sect master see, maybe it can be absorbed into the periphery of the sect and escort our caravan, the recent turmoil in the world, business is getting worse and worse! ”
An Hong was calculating in his heart, but he didn't know that Gao Xu was actually more anxious than him, and when he left, he glanced at Ze Yue, Ze Yue suddenly understood, and after separating from An Hong, he immediately came to Gao Xu's tent and asked, "Brother Gao, is something wrong?" ”
Gao Xu looked inquiring, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ze, there is one thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not, it is related to the Anlong Chamber of Commerce, what is the relationship between them and our Longyou Gang?" ”
When Zeyue heard the word "we", he must have been silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Our relationship with the Anlong Chamber of Commerce is still very stable, and Anlong's ability to have such a great reputation and family business in Sichuan has nothing to do with his honest business methods. If Brother Gao really has something important to do with their Chamber of Commerce, it doesn't hurt to talk to An Hong! ”
"Since Brother Ze said so, then I'll go!" As soon as this question was answered, a situation was formed in which Ze Yue agreed to Gao Xu to meet with An Hong, Gao Xu naturally agreed with peace of mind, and gave Ze Yue a reassuring pill before leaving, "I already have some clues about the goods, it is likely that the pond fish have been affected, Brother Ze, please rest assured, the recovery of the goods I just said is a certain certainty, and it is not empty words!" ”…,
Zeyue was overjoyed and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from my brother!" ”

An Hong was a little surprised by Gao Xu's arrival, and thought to himself, could it be that this kid abandoned the Longyou Gang so quickly and came to take refuge in himself? But judging from the previous relationship, I don't look like such a stupid person! No matter what you say, you have to take care of it, and wait for yourself to lobby, then it is good for the lion to open his mouth......
"Uncle Ann!" Gao Xu shouted very affectionately, with the help of the two heads, An Hong's favorability has risen to more than fifty points, and it is time to enter the next stage, so he got straight to the point, "The little nephew was wrong before, although the enemy who attacked was the Jianghuai army, it was not sent by Du Fuwei, but the person who assisted Gongyou!" ”
"Oh? How so? An Hong pretended to be shocked and paced, "Our Chamber of Commerce and the Jianghuai Association basically have no intersection, and the well water with Fu Gongyou does not interfere with the river water, it makes no sense!" ”
"It's kind of pretending! Just right...... I'll let you shoot yourself in the foot! Gao Xu was disdainful in his heart, but on the surface, he also pretended to be stunned, "In this way, maybe the little nephew made a mistake, I'm really sorry, it turned out to be a false alarm!" ”
"Uh......" An Hong was a little dumbfounded, seeing Gao Xu hugging his fists and turning to leave, he hurriedly stopped and said with a smile, "Virtuous nephew, although we don't have a holiday with the Jianghuai Army, but as the saying goes, prevention is better than prevention, and this great cause will inevitably not be remembered, if you have something, let's hear it!" ”
"Uncle An, when you say this, I think of one thing, your martial arts are very strong, why have you never heard anyone mention it on weekdays?" Gao Xu just wanted to speak, but suddenly his face was suspicious, as if he remembered something, looked at An Hong fixedly, and asked.
An Hong's eyes flashed, he was so eager to clear himself, that is, he was afraid that Gao Xu would be connected to other aspects, who knew what he was afraid of, Gao Xu really asked like this, how to answer, in order to not only round the lie, but also set out the information that Gao Xu knew?
It can be seen from this that the birth of a lie often requires thousands of lies to be true, and An Hong had the idea of winning over Gao Xu, so he had to give a reply, but for a while, how could he find a suitable reason, so he had to sigh and make an unspeakable appearance.
"The little nephew understands, when is the time for retribution, Uncle An has retired to the rivers and lakes, and he really shouldn't care about this kind of thing anymore......" Gao Xu didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, and after achieving his goal, he immediately cooperated and showed a look of understanding, "But this matter may be really extremely important, in order not to drag down Uncle An, I will go to Hefei in person and tell President An!" ”
"This ...... Do you think I'm hiding from my enemies? An Hong was dumbfounded again, but he was also a treacherous and cunning character, but he didn't know that Gao Xu, who was trying everything he could to hide, already knew the identity, and he was led by Gao Xu every time he was talking about it, and he was forced into a corner at the moment, and there was no way out.
"Uncle Ann wrote a letter explaining the cause and effect of the incident to President Ann, so as to save some trouble. The little nephew will leave now, and he must not delay the big thing! Seeing Gao Xu's solemn expression, it didn't seem to be a fraud, An Hong thought about it, or decided to follow Gao Xu's method, went back to the tent to write a letter, handed it to Gao Xu, and ordered someone to bring the most Haode horse in the caravan, and instructed, "Virtuous nephew, you do things, I don't worry, everything will be left to you!" ”
"The little nephew will live up to the trust!" Gao Xu turned over his horse, hugged his fists, and didn't stay, following the guidance from the coat of arms, towards Hefei.
At this time, it was less than half a day before he entered the Shijie of the Tang Shuanglong Legend!
