Chapter 10 Relevance
Lu Chick?
Four eyebrows?
Who are you? Do we know each other?
Lu Shaoyang looked at the oncoming young man in confusion, and looked at the other party quietly.
This is a dignified-looking heroic man with sword eyebrows, with two neat and beautiful beards on his mouth, just from the other party's clothing and demeanor, it can be seen that the other party is obviously from an extraordinary background, and there is no reckless temperament of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
He was followed by a man at the same time.
A handsome boy with a peach blossom face, red lips and white teeth.
It is not difficult to see with his eyesight.
This is clearly a beautiful girl dressed as a man.
"Please forgive me for being rude, does Brother Lu deny the wrong person?"
Out of politeness, Lu Shaoyang, who looked puzzled, hurriedly hugged his fist towards the young man and arched his hand.
"No, my Lu Xiaoji's memory has always been very good, and it is impossible to recognize the wrong person. β
Xia Fan's smile was mixed with a hint of imperceptible narrowness.
"Brother Lu, have you forgotten? β
"Beijing?" Lu Shaoyang was stunned when he heard this, and then said even more dazedly. "I hope Brother Lu will not hesitate to solve his doubts, where did Brother Lu have a drink with him in the capital?"
"Of course it's Yuwangfu!"
Xia Fan shook his head and sighed.
"Brother Lu really doesn't remember? When you and your brother were invited to the capital to treat King Yu's young son, and later King Yu's young son recovered from illness, King Yu once held a feast to see you off, and you had a very happy conversation with Brother Lu during the banquet...... However, Brother Lu was a little drunk at the time, and now it is reasonable that he doesn't remember it, alas......"
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry, I seem to have remembered a little bit below......"
After hearing this, Lu Shaoyang's thoughts turned, and he quickly recalled the vague memories of being in the capital.
The other party is right.
At the beginning, he and his brother did go to the capital to treat the son of King Yu on the order of his master.
Before leaving, it was difficult for them to refuse King Yu's kindness to see him off.
During this period, King Yu invited many guests to the banquet, most of whom were born in powerful families.
These guests had toasted them one after another, and Lu Shaoyang and his brothers couldn't remember how much wine they drank, even if they used their internal strength to force out a large amount of wine to keep their heads clear, but in the end, they still inevitably got a little drunk.
Maybe.
Brother Lu in front of him drank two glasses of wine with him at that time.
But his memory is vague and forgets the other party, after all, they only have one side friend with each other, and after a year and a half, it is normal for Lu Shaoyang to remember clearly.
"Actually, it's not Brother Lu's fault, it's also wrong. Xia Fan touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, and smiled even more. "Brother Lu can't remember it, probably because he didn't have these two beards before he went down, so Brother Lu forgot to be here. β
"Brother Lu, don't be upset. Lu Shaoyang suddenly smiled bitterly. "All this is a faux pas. β
"Brother Lu doesn't have to be so ......"
Xia Fan almost burst out laughing.
So easy to deceive?
He just learned some SMS and phone fraud routines!
But he did make it up.
Although Lu Shaoyang had never mentioned his experience in the capital to him, he had told Wang Huan about it, and Wang Huan had no intention of revealing it to himself.
Originally, he was just teasing Lu Shaoyang.
If the other party debunks his lies, he will no longer hide his identity.
Who knew that the other party believed it......
Since this is the case, Xia Fan decided to keep acting until he couldn't act.
"I don't know why Brother Lu appeared in Sangshui County?"
In order to resolve the embarrassment, Lu Shaoyang inadvertently diverted the topic.
"In the past six months, I have been out and about the rivers and lakes, and now I have been away from home for a long time, so I plan to return to Beijing and return home before the year, but I didn't expect to see Brother Lu again through Sangshui!"
Xia Fan came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he lied without blinking.
"I see. Lu Shaoyang said suddenly.
"I don't know why Brother Lu is in Sangshui? Could it be that Brother Lu listened to the recent rumors in the rivers and lakes?"
Xia Fan quietly dominated the topic.
"In fact, the next meeting in Sangshui is not because of the rumors in the rivers and lakes, but for the sake of a good friend. β
Lu Shaoyang shook his head and said.
"Oh?!Brother Lu doesn't mind telling me about it? Maybe there's something I can do to help you. β
Xia Fan asked knowingly.
"Don't hide it from Brother Lu, I'm in Sangshui just to find someone......"
Anyway, Yao Han's matter is not an important secret.
Lu Shaoyang simply told Xia Fan the ins and outs directly, but he only hid some key points.
For example, the existence of Heart Devouring Gu and Xia Fan.
"Now that there is still half a month before the end of the year, it happens that I have nothing to do, so it is better to let me come down to help Brother Lu find someone together. β
After hearing this, Xia Fan immediately said righteously.
"......"
Lu Shaoyang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before he finished speaking, Xia Fan interrupted.
"Brother Lu doesn't have to be polite, friends are in trouble, how can people in the rivers and lakes of my generation sit idly by!"
Seeing Brother Lu put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Lu Shaoyang's eyelids twitched slightly.
What kind of friend am I and you!
Look at the way he looks.
It is estimated that he is a child of a family who has some misunderstanding of the rivers and lakes.
After all, the land of Gyeonggi is far away from the strife of the rivers and lakes, and under the protection of the Jinmusi, these children of the family who have lived in Gyeonggi since childhood lack a perfect understanding of the dangers of the rivers and lakes.
They only saw the happiness and enmity in the rivers and lakes, but they did not see the blood and cruelty behind it.
They think that the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes are not the imperial court, and in the eyes of the strong, the rules of the rivers and lakes are a joke.
Even though these children of the family are all armed with martial arts, once they fight with the people in the rivers and lakes who are recklessly born, they will never imagine what kind of means the other party will do.
Maybe when the other party kneels on the ground and begs for mercy, he will attack you with a knife and kill you without you paying attention.
Facing Brother Lu's fist heart, Lu Shaoyang thought that there was no danger in finding someone, so he did not refuse the other party's kindness.
"Then thank Brother Lu for his help......"
"By the way, Brother Lu, let me introduce you, this is Liu Dazhuang, your cousin, you can call her Da Zhuang in the future!"
After Xia Fan saw that Lu Shaoyang agreed to come down, he immediately happily patted the willow warbler beside him and said to Lu Shaoyang.
Liu Dazhuang?
You're a liar!
"I've seen Brother Liu in Xia Lu Shaoyang!"
Lu Shaoyang still maintained a polite smile on the surface, and bowed his hand towards Liu Dazhuang in Xia Fan's mouth.
β...... I've seen Brother Lu. β
Liu Yingying glanced at Xia Fan with a mournful look, and saluted Lu Shaoyang in a voice like a mosquito.
It's just that Liu Dazhuang's ugly name is really difficult for her to say.
"By the way, Brother Lu, have you found anything now?"
Xia Fan quickly hit the railway while it was hot.
"Now I can only confirm that the person I am looking for has stayed at this inn, and I don't know anything else. β
When it comes to business, Lu Shaoyang looks righteous.
"Hey, is it such a coincidence?" Xia Fan said with a surprised expression. "My cousin and I are staying in this inn now, but according to Brother Lu's way of looking for you, I'm afraid I don't know when we will find someone. β
"In this way, what does Brother Lu think?"
Lu Shaoyang said curiously.
"Simple, there must be a brave man under the so-called heavy reward, Brother Lu only needs to post the portrait of the woman you are looking for all over the county, and then say that anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded with 100 gold, and I believe that within three days, Brother Lu will be able to get all the clues you want. β
Xia Fan swore solemnly.
What is it called?
This is called mobilizing the masses!
It's so troublesome to find someone, and you can directly mobilize the people of the county with a heavy reward, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can help you dig people out!
"Brother Lu is really high-minded. Lu Shaoyang instantly shook his spirits. "Although I can't get a hundred taels of silver, I still have a hundred taels of silver. β
"And if you want to make the people of the whole county believe your words, it is best to find the most famous people in the local area to vouch for you first. β
Xia Fan added.
"This is simple, and I will ask Liu Da of the Chishui Gang to be in charge of the Chishui Gang later, with the credibility of Liu Da in Sangshui County, it will definitely make the people in the county believe in it. β
Lu Shaoyang said with a little excitement.
"Brother Lu really helped me in the next big favor!"
"Brother Lu is polite, and he has only made a small contribution. β
Xia Fan hurriedly said modestly.
"Brother Lu, please forgive me for being temporarily unaccompanied, and I will definitely thank Brother Lu for another day. β
As he spoke, Lu Shaoyang was impatient to prepare to leave.
"It's important to get down to business, if Brother Lu encounters difficulties, you can come to the inn to inform the next one. β
Xia Fan said with a smile on his face.
When Lu Shaoyang left, Xia Fan took Liu Yingying back to the inn and went directly to the private room on the second floor to eat.
"Childe, is he the person you are looking for in Sangshui this time?"
Not long after taking her seat, Liu Yingying cautiously asked Xia Fan.
"yes, you know, I owe him a favor. β
Xia Fan drank the hot tea that Xiao Er had just brewed and said casually.
"Human favor?" Liu Yingying was stunned for a moment. "He actually has the ability to make Gongzi owe favors, presumably this person must have something unique. β
"He is from Xinglin Mountain. β
Xia Fan said casually.
"Xinglin Mountain? Yingying has a little impression of this sect. Liu Yingying thought for a while. "Since he can be valued by Gongzi, then he shouldn't be a disciple of Xinglin Mountain......
"What, why isn't he a disciple of Xinglin Mountain?"
Xia Fan said confusedly.
"Returning to Gongzi, Yingying means that this Gongzi Lu should be from Baihua Valley. Liu Yingying hurriedly said. "As far as the warbler knows, Xinglin Mountain is divided into two gates, the outer gate is Xinglin Mountain, and the inner gate is Baihua Valley. β
"And this kind of operation?"
Xia Fan said suddenly.
"Yes, Childe. Liu Yingying didn't dare to hide it at all. "It is rumored that the Valley of Hundred Flowers first originated from witch doctors in ancient times, and since the beginning of the Middle Ages, witch doctors have separated, and some of the witch doctors' descendants have somehow escaped to the southern part of the country, and the witch doctors who stayed in Shenzhou gradually formed different schools, and the Valley of Hundred Flowers was born at that time......"
"The battle at the end of the Middle Ages, the Baihua Valley involved in this war suffered heavy losses, and since then it has been in a slump, until the beginning of the ancient era, the Baihua Valley has branched out of Xinglin Mountain, and since then the Baihua Valley has been completely hidden behind the scenes......"
"You know a lot. β
Xia Fan said in surprise.
"This is all well taught by Master. β
The willow warbler drooped her head and whispered.
"Witch doctors? Then the Voodoo Cult originated from the descendants of the witch doctors who fled to the south of Xinjiang?"
Xia Fan muttered thoughtfully.
"Yes, Childe. β
The willow warbler didn't know why.
"Interesting. β
Xia Fan habitually touched his beard and said.
This moment.
He thought of Yao Han's death.
Because Yao Han died from the Voodoo Cult's Heart-Eater Gu.
And the person who found out the cause of Yao Han's death was Lu Shaoyang, who was born in the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
A witch, a doctor.
Both were one family 10,000 years ago.
A guess popped up to him.
Does Yao Han's death have anything to do with it?
If that's true.
I'm afraidβ
Lu Shaoyang is going to be in danger!
Meanwhile.
Lu Shaoyang happily discussed the reward with Liu Zhaoyi, but unfortunately it was late, and everything could not be arranged until tomorrow.
"Senior sister, it may not be long before Senior Brother can find out the whereabouts of that woman. β
As soon as I got home.
Lu Shaoyang immediately reported the good news to Xu Ping'er with high spirits.
"Could it be that Senior Brother has already found a clue?"
Xu Ping'er suddenly said curiously.
"Not yet, but Senior Brother believes that it will be sooner or later......"
Saying that, Lu Shaoyang told Xu Ping'er about meeting Xia Fan today.
"If it weren't for this Brother Lu's reminder, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how long it would take to inquire before I gained something. β
Finally.
Lu Shaoyang didn't forget to sigh.
"This Brother Lu is really good, it's just ......," Xu Ping'er said calmly. "Senior brother really has no impression of this Brother Lu?"
"I thought about it carefully afterwards, and I had the impression that I really hadn't seen this Brother Lu. Lu Shaoyang thought for a while. "But when King Yu hosted a banquet for us, there were dozens of guests present, and now that I think back, I only remember the vague appearance of one or two guests, and I can feel that this Brother Lu really knows me......"
"Senior brother, be careful. Xu Ping'er said in a deep voice. "Regardless of whether this Brother Lu knows Senior Brother or not, Senior Brother had better be more wary of him. β
"Don't worry, junior sister, senior brother knows it. β
Lu Shaoyang said with a smile.
No matter where this Brother Lu came from.
He wasn't ready to make any further contact with the other party.
Unless it's a case of knowing the roots.
He wouldn't mind making one more friend.
After all, walking the rivers and lakes, safety first.
In the face of the kindness of strangers, any Jianghu person will pay attention, otherwise sometimes they don't know how to die.
"Let's eat. β
Xu Ping'er didn't say much, it was nothing more than that she believed in Lu Shaoyang.
Otherwise, the master would not have let him take his brother to the capital, let alone rest assured that he would take him out of the valley with him.
Eat dinner hastily.
When Lu Shaoyang was about to visit Wang Huan, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the courtyard outside the house.
"Senior sister, I'll take a look. β
Hearing a knock on the door outside the house, Lu Shaoyang subconsciously said to Xu Ping'er with a vigilant expression.
"Sword. β
Xu Ping'er directly handed him a sword.
Lu Shaoyang took the sword, nodded at Xu Ping'er, and walked out of the room, pretending to be impatient and shouting out of the door.
"Who?!Is there anything going on this big night?"
Pity.
There was no movement outside the door.
Seeing this, Lu Shaoyang immediately slowly pulled out his sword and came to the door, and then used his sword to pick open the door bolt.
With a gust of cold wind.
The gate of the courtyard slammed open to both sides.
"Are you looking for me?"
Outside the door.
A tall and expressionless woman stared coldly at Lu Shaoyangdao, who was on high alert in front of her.
"It's you?!"
Lu Shaoyang blurted out in surprise.
You can't go wrong!
The woman in front of him was the person he had been tracking down all this time.
I didn't expect to have nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get them.
I haven't even made a plan yet, so I took the initiative to show up for convenience.
"Are you from the Valley of Hundred Flowers?"
Who knew that the woman suddenly frowned.
