Chapter 17: The Veil
"Childe, do you know that Gu Xiqiao Gu Gongzi?"
Lu Shaoyang had been wondering before.
After Xia Fan came to the inn, why did he inexplicably walk to the private seat in the lobby by the window.
Of course, he noticed a strange man and a woman in the seat.
It's just that he didn't expect Xia Fan to seem to know each other.
At first, he didn't recognize Gu Xiqiao, on the one hand, because the other party turned his back to him, and on the other hand, he and Gu Xiqiao had never had any intersection, but they had experienced each other's demeanor from afar.
So it's normal to not recognize it for a while.
When Gu Xiqiao happened to bump into them when he left, Lu Shaoyang was stunned.
Isn't this Guxi Bridge?
Although this rush to see was somewhat unpleasant.
But Lu Shaoyang was even more curious in his heart, what was the relationship between Xia Fan and Gu Xiqiao, and why did he know Gu Xiqiao?
After placing Wang Huan in the room, he couldn't wait to come to the private seat by the window in the lobby, and faced Xia Fan, who had ordered a table of wine and food again.
Lu Shaoyang pondered in his heart for a moment, and finally asked cautiously.
"You say Xiao Gu, in fact, the two of us are the kind of relationship that doesn't fight and don't know each other. ”
Xia Fan casually teased a roast chicken.
"What? Gu Xiqiao made a move to Gongzi?"
Lu Shaoyang's eyes were about to pop out when he heard this.
Did Gu Xiqiao get impatient with his life at the beginning? He actually dared to tease a grandmaster's tiger whiskers?
"How can I say it? Then Xiao Gu and I are indeed a little conflicted, and it is understandable that he will make a move on me. Xia Fan said disapprerovingly. However, after I was beaten unilaterally, he deeply reflected on his mistakes and corrected his mistakes. ”
"Wait, you are Qingping Mountain......
Lu Shaoyang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly remembered what had caused a stir in the rivers and lakes some time ago.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, he immediately regretted it.
"The response is not bad, give you a thumbs up. ”
Xia Fan, who was full of oil, smiled at Lu Shaoyang.
"......," Lu Shaoyang said with an ugly smile. "Childe is really hiding from us. ”
"I didn't hide it from you, you didn't ask yourself, do you blame me?" Xia Fan took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
"How dare the little one blame the childe. ”
Now that Xia Fan has figured out his identity, Lu Shaoyang naturally has no need to pretend anymore, and even his self-professed words have changed.
"You see, that's why I don't want to reveal my identity. Xia Fan suddenly said with a sigh of relief. "The gap in status will invisibly change the attitude between people, if I show my identity with great fanfare, I am afraid that there will be no one who can speak well in the future. ”
He didn't have any friends or relatives in this world.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the desire and need for it.
However, at his level, ordinary people don't dare to be rude at all after learning his identity, let alone have deep friendships.
It's the same as the emperors of ancient times who liked to call themselves alone.
Do you think he's pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
Because he's the biggest tiger.
The tiger is lonely, but when the other animals see the tiger, they run away, what can the tiger do? He also wants to play with the animals.
After all, he is not a lonely warrior, but an ordinary person with normal seven emotions and six desires.
So he had to pretend to be a pig as much as possible.
Anyway, there are always blind people who collide with critters with bad brains.
Regarding Xia Fan's words, Lu Shaoyang was silent.
Who knows whether what he said is true or not? Even if he really felt it, Lu Shaoyang did not dare to be presumptuous.
Dragons do not live with snakes, and phoenixes do not flock with birds.
How could Lu Shaoyang not understand the truth.
Even if Xia Fan said it wildly, it couldn't change the difference between them.
"I'm going to go out, so you can stay at the inn for the time being and wait for me to come back. ”
After speaking, Xia Fan shook his head and got up to leave.
As soon as he walked to the door of the inn, he immediately saw Gu Xiqiao's figure hurriedly greeted him.
"Senior, junior live up to the trust, Leader Su has promised to see you. ”
"Lead the way. ”
Xia Fan waved his hand listlessly.
"Senior, why are you a little unhappy when you hear the news?"
Gu Xiqiao, who noticed Xia Fan's strange appearance, suddenly said worriedly.
"Because then I have one less person to speak. ”
Xia Fan sighed lightly.
"???" Gu Xiqiao was confused. "Dare to ask my seniors what do you mean by this?"
"Don't think about it, I'll just sigh casually. ”
Xia Fan said excitedly.
“......”
Gu Xiqiao was speechless for a moment, but he was praying in his heart that Xia Fan would not cause any trouble at that time.
It didn't take long.
Gu Xiqiao took Xia Fan to Wanyang's original office.
After the soldier on duty in front of the gate of the government office saw Gu Xiqiao, he let him walk into the government office with Xia Fan without any hindrance.
Passing through the heavily guarded front hall, Gu Xiqiao and Xia Fan gradually came to the inner courtyard of the mansion behind the government office.
"In Xia Su Yunxiao, waiting for the arrival of the seniors. ”
As soon as he arrived in the inner courtyard, Xia Fan saw a burly, strong, crowned and bearded man take the initiative to step forward.
"You are Su Yunxiao, the boss of the Rescue Army?"
He looked curiously at the big man in front of him, who was about thirty years old, wearing a military uniform and had a loud voice.
"Don't dare to deceive the honorable driver, it is indeed Su Yunxiao, the commander of the rescue army. ”
Su Yunxiao was neither humble nor arrogant, and he hugged his fist towards Xia Fan and arched his hand.
"Please also invite the respectful driver here, I have already set up a banquet and made a special trip to wash the dust for the honorable driver. ”
"No, I've eaten it. Xia Fan directly shook his head and refused. "I'm just here to ask you for a test, and I'll leave after asking. ”
"I have already listened to Gu Gongzi's words, and I can ask questions as much as I can, and I should know everything when I am down. Su Yunxiao said in a deep voice.
"Who first came up with your slogan of saving the suffering army?"
Xia Fan stared at Su Yunxiao and said.
"The slogan of saving the suffering army was first put forward by my father. Su Yunxiao said without thinking.
"Your father?"
Xia Fan's eyelids jumped, of course he knew Su Yunxiao's father, Su Yuanhong.
The problem is that Su Yuanhong has long been cold, is Su Yuanhong his so-called "fellow countryman"?
"It's my father!" Su Yunxiao said a little unclear.
"Are you sure that your father really came up with the slogan of the Salvation Army?"
Xia Fan asked unwillingly.
“...... No!" Su Yunxiao thought back.
Really!
He knew that the "fellow" would never be so easy to hang.
Xia Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
But Su Yunxiao's next words made Xia Fan stunned.
"I once heard my father say that my father met a person before the uprising, and it was under the guidance of this person that my father made up his mind to overthrow the imperial court, and the slogan and purpose of saving the army were proposed to my father. ”
"Who is this man?"
"The contemporary heir of Heluo, Lin He!"
