At this moment, the man standing in the lobby of the post station looked to be about fifty years old, his shiny black hair was combed, and he was dressed in a navy blue brocade official robe, which set off his slightly bloated figure without shying away. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Danfeng eyes, hooked nose, red lips and white teeth, ruddy complexion and full complexion, looking quite energetic. But this person's body has not even revealed the slightest bit of domineering, and even looks a little mediocre from a distance, compared with Xi Chen, the governor of the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion back then, there is a big gap in momentum. And his most memorable feature is the two moustaches on his mouth, I don't know if he deliberately trimmed them, in short, these two mustaches look extremely neat, hanging on his face adds a bit of elegance to this mediocre person.

This person is the governor of the Frontier Guard Mansion who unified southern Xinjiang, Zhu Wushou!

Behind Zhu Wushou, there was also a white and handsome young man, who seemed to be Zhu Wushou's entourage, who was carefully sorting out the paper umbrella that had been stained with rain at the moment. Outside, the rain was pouring down, but Zhu Wushou's body was not touched, on the other hand, the young man's robe was already soaked by the rain. Obviously, the umbrella in his hand was not prepared for himself, but specially made a trip to shelter Zhu Wushou from the wind and rain.

"Get up!"

After Zhu Wushou entered the post station, he seemed to be as relaxed and casual as returning to his home, only to see that he just stood still in front of the door and looked around the environment in the lobby, and then walked to the stairs gracefully, and the entourage next to him hurriedly picked up a chair and put it in front of the stairs in advance, waiting for Zhu Wushou to come and sit. Looking at Zhu Wushou again, he walked in front of Banbiantian with a faint smile, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he directly grabbed Banbiantian's willow waist, but Banbiantian didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting, and the anger on her face just now had turned into a flattering smile, only to see that she was extremely well-behaved and gently leaned on Zhu Wushou's arms, and followed Zhu Wushou's footsteps towards the front.

When Zheng Xiang saw Zhu Wushou coming, he naturally didn't dare to stand on the stairs anymore, so he hurriedly walked down and stood respectfully by the chair and waited.

"What's going on?" Zhu Wushou leaned over and sat down, and with a casual tug, he dragged Banbiantian's delicate body directly to his lap and sat down, and Banbiantian was also very sensible and gently hooked Zhu Wushou's neck with his left hand, while his right hand was pinching the peach blossom fan and gently fanning Zhu Wushou. And from beginning to end, Zhu Wushou's energy seemed to stay on Banbiantian's body, his left hand held Banbiantian's waist, and his right hand was still honestly kneading Banbiantian's body, which made Banbiantian laugh again and again, and he didn't look at Zheng Xiang at all.

"Back to the governor's words, Lao Jiu is gone!" Zheng Xiang heard the question, and hurriedly leaned over to Zhu Wushou's ear and whispered in response. As soon as Zheng Xiang said this, Zhu Wushou's right hand, which was originally playing with half the sky, couldn't help but stop, and the smile on his face was slightly stunned.

"You came to Lao Jiu yesterday, what do you have to tell him?" Zhu Wushou asked softly with a slight frown.

"Yes!" Zheng Xiang happily agreed, and then he first glanced at Lu Yifan with a pair of cold eyes, and then lowered his voice again, whispering in a voice that could only be heard by two people next to Zhu Wushou's ear. With Zheng Xiang's explanation, Zhu Wushou's face changed obviously, from the initial confusion to the later surprise, and finally to solemnity. And when Zheng Xiang raised his head again, Zhu Wushou glanced in the direction of Lu Yifan meaningfully.

Banbiantian, who was sitting on Zhu Wushou's lap, kept trying to eavesdrop on Zheng Xiang's words sideways, but Zhu Wushou's hand was always against her lower abdomen, so she couldn't get close at all, so in the end, she didn't hear what Zheng Xiang said to Zhu Wushou in the end. When Zhu Wushou set his eyes on Lu Yifan, Half the Sky also inadvertently squeezed his eyes slightly at Lu Yifan, and then showed a bitter expression

looked at Lu Yifan again, but he was always as calm as ever, with a calm smile on the corner of his mouth. It's like you don't know what's going on.

"What's your name?"

Finally, after a moment of silence in the lobby, Zhu Wushou finally threw the conversation towards Lu Yifan, and his narrow Danfeng eyes sparkled, as if he could directly see through Lu Yifan's heart.

"Me?" Lu Yifan pretended to be dazed and pointed at himself first, and after he saw that Zhu Wushou was still looking at him without giving the slightest reaction, he slowly stood up and smiled lightly at Zhu Wushou, "In Xia Lutian!"

"Where did you come from?"

"Nanjun! my family is in the tea and spice business!" Lu Yifan had already thought of a set of rhetoric before coming here, so answering Zhu Wushou's question was also smooth, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Where are you going?" Zhu Wushou's voice was still as flat as water, and at first glance it sounded like he was chatting with Lu Yifan.

"Spirit Domain, Loulan!" Lu Yifan replied without thinking, "We have been in the tea business with Spirit Domain for more than ten years, starting from my father's generation!"

"Who are these people around you?" Zhu Wushou slowly swept his deep gaze in front of Yulou and the others, and asked lightly.

"House slave guards!" Lu Yifan replied with a smile, "My father didn't worry that I would deliver the goods alone, so I asked some guards to accompany me!"

"Oh, what about this woman?" Zhu Wushou said and stretched out his hand to point at Mu Dan, "She is also your house slave?"

"She's not!" Of course, Lu Yifan understood that Zhu Wushou had seen through the fact that Mu Dan was a person from the Spirit Domain, so he didn't intend to deliberately conceal it, but changed the conversation and changed his rhetoric, "She is a person from the Spirit Domain, and this time she came to the Holy Domain to select good goods, and she is a business friend with us!"

"Hiss!" As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, there was an uproar in the lobby. Although Kinmen Pass claims to be located at the junction of the Sacred Domain and the Spirit Domain, in fact, this is still the boundary of the Sacred Domain after all, and people from the Spiritual Domain are not common.

"People from the Spirit Realm?" Zheng Xiang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then asked loudly, "Then why didn't you tell me before?"

"The adults didn't ask, and naturally they didn't have time to introduce it!" Lu Yifan replied helplessly, "I originally wanted to invite the adults to drink a few cups before introducing them, but I didn't expect to ......" Lu Yifan didn't say anything more when he said this, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.

"Why, can't the people of the Spirit Realm come to your Golden Gate?" Mu Dan asked with a displeased expression.

Hearing this, Zhu Wushou couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said faintly: "Of course you can! Even Pontus has a lot of friends in the Spirit Realm!"

"Adult ......"

Without waiting for Zheng Xiang to speak again to persuade him, Zhu Wushou suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt his words, and then saw him look at Lu Yifan with a smile, and said with something in his words: "Lao Jiu is a bully at Kinmen Pass, and he is also one of the people who my border guard mansion watches the most, I heard that you had some holidays with him yesterday, what happened later?

"The blessing of the Governor of Todu, it's still safe!" Lu Yifan said and arched his hand at Zhu Wushou again, "We businessmen just want to be safe, and we don't want to provoke anything!"

"That's the best

Zhu Wushou nodded and smiled, as he spoke, he also stretched out his hand and pointed to the other diners in the lobby, and then said loudly, "Most of these people and our Southern Frontier Guard Mansion are old friends, and the Governor of Bendu also knows them well.

"The governor doesn't have to be polite, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask!"

"That's good!" Zhu Wushou seemed to be very satisfied with Lu Yifan's answer, so he coughed lightly a few times before saying loudly, "According to the rules of the Southern Frontier Guard Mansion, all caravans coming and going to Kinmen Pass must be checked by us to prevent any forbidden flows out of the Holy Domain. It just so happens that the Governor of Pontus is here today, and he also wants to take this opportunity to check Lu Gongzi's goods, I don't think Lu Gongzi should mind, right?"

Zhu Wushou's tone of voice was much softer than Zheng Xiang's before, and his attitude was much gentler, but in Lu Yifan's ears, Zhu Wushou's seemingly peaceful words seemed to have more irresistible power, and it seemed that as soon as his words came out, he didn't leave any room for others to refute at all. With Zhu Wushou's words, Zheng Xiang's eyes when he looked at Lu Yifan also became a little cautious.

The lobby fell into an eerie silence in an instant. The diners present were silently paying close attention to Zhu Wushou and Lu Yifan, although they couldn't understand why Zhu Wushou targeted Lu Yifan as soon as he came, but at this moment, they might as well pay attention to the changes in the situation with a hint of excitement, after all, such a scene is not easy to see at any time.

Zhu Wushou looked at Lu Yifan with a smile like this, and Lu Yifan also looked back at Zhu Wushou with a sad face, his eyes did not have too much provocation and fighting intent towards each other, but there seemed to be an invisible force secretly competing. They looked at each other like this for a long time, for a long time...... So much so that when everyone present was accustomed to the sound of wind and rain outside the post station and fell asleep, Lu Yifan, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spit out two words from his mouth: "No!"

"Wow!" As soon as Lu Yifan said this, there was an uproar in the lobby, and even Banbiantian, who was sitting in Zhu Wushou's arms, changed his face. In her opinion, even if all those tea spices were dismantled for people to take a look at and then sealed, it would not be a big deal! Ban Biantian, who was still full of confidence, suddenly accelerated his heartbeat after hearing Lu Yifan's answer. An ominous premonition also quietly rose in his heart. scolded secretly in his heart: Lu Tian, this kid really doesn't know the current affairs, isn't this making trouble for the old lady?

"What did you say?" Zhu Wushou's reaction became the calmest one among the crowd, only to see him look at Lu Yifan with a puzzled expression, deliberately pretending to not hear clearly just now, and asked matter-of-factly, "Did the governor of Pontus hear something wrong just now?"

"The Governor heard me right!" Lu Yifan said word by word, "I just said no......!

"It's okay!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to explain the reason, Zhu Wushou suddenly raised his hand, and then turned his head to Zheng Xiang and ordered, "Go and find out all the goods of Lu Tian and them, and the governor of Pontus will personally see them!"

"Hiss!" The diners were surprised that Lu Yifan dared to contradict Zhu Wushou, but at this moment, they were even more surprised by Zhu Wushou's insistence. Looking at Zhu Wushou's calm appearance of ordering, it was as if Lu Yifan had agreed just now, it was so natural and casual, and he didn't shy away from Lu Yifan not far away to hear his words clearly. The toughness of this seemingly soft is often more palpitating than the brutality of the straight.

"Yes!" Zheng Xiang immediately agreed happily when he heard Zhu Wushou's words, and then strode towards the door.

"I'll see who dares!" Just when Zheng Xiang was about to take someone out, Yin Xi shouted angrily, walked in front of Zheng Xiang in three steps and two steps, and blocked Zheng Xiang's way with his body.

"What? Do you want to go against the Border Guard Mansion?" Zheng Xiang stared at Yin Xi coldly, he and Yin Xi both belonged to the kind of extremely burly people, so the two of them stood face to face, and they were equal in momentum.

"Bullshit Frontier Guard Mansion, even if you get to the Jinling Imperial City, my master's things are not something you can move

Yin Xi was not afraid of Zheng Xiang's cold eyes at all, a pair of tiger eyes were about to burst out with anger, and his head shook from side to side a few times between words, and suddenly a 'click' sound came from his neck, it seemed that Yin Xi was ready to fight with Zheng Xiang.

"Get out of here!" Zheng Xiang was a little angry, and the joints of his hand holding the steel knife were whitened by his grip.

"Just step over my corpse!" Yin Xi also slowly raised the Wuji Knife horizontally, and in an instant, the momentum was unmatched.

"Oh, the corner of your mouth is a little dirty!"

Just when the two sides were tense, Banbiantian, who was sitting on Zhu Wushou's lap, suddenly said in a coquettish voice, and stretched out two jade fingers to wipe the corners of Zhu Wushou's mouth lightly, her voice instantly broke the tense atmosphere in the hall, and also caused a burst of displeasure on Zhu Wushou's face.

"What are you doing?" asked Zhu Wushou in a deep voice.

"Dudu, in my opinion, if you have anything to discuss, it's better not to hurt the harmony!" Banbiantian stood up quietly, shook the waist of the water snake and walked to Zheng Xiang and Yin Xi, kept fanning the wind for the two of them with the peach blossom fan in his hand, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Look at how you are all so angry......?

Although Half of the Sky kept comforting them, Zheng Xiang and Yin Xi looked at each other with more and more fierce fighting intent and did not pay any attention to the kind words and persuasion of Half Sky on the side.

"Oops!" Banbiantian hurriedly turned around and pleaded with Zhu Wushou, "Dudu, why bother?"

"Half the sky, I found that you have a lot of words today!" Zhu Wushou said non-yin and yang, "Isn't this Lu Tianmo your good friend?"

"Where did Du Du's words go?" Banbiantian glanced at Lu Yifan with a smile, although her face was full of a relaxed smile, but her heart was already trembling up and down, "But then again, although this Lu Tian is not my good friend, but he is quite close to me, and I recognized him as my godbrother last night." How can I, the godsister, watch him being bullied in his own shop......"

"You mean Pontus is bullying him?"

"Oh! No, no, no! I said the wrong thing! How could the governor bully my godbrother? The governor has always been strict and fair, and who in southern Xinjiang doesn't know?" Half the sky is worthy of being an eight-sided exquisite heart, and when he speaks, he is really the head of the way, "The so-called don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, can you see the face of the little woman, and let go of my ignorant brother! He insisted on refusing to let the governor open the seal to check the goods, mainly because the outside was humid and stuffy. Once the spices are contaminated with moisture, it will be a big loss, and he doesn't want this to happen to his family for the first time. After all, this is not conducive to him inheriting the ancestral business of the family in the future! Dudu, you must understand his careful thoughts!"

"Is that so?" Zhu Wushou stared at Banbian Tian suspiciously, just now Lu Yifan wanted to explain that he was unwilling, but now he listened to Banbian Tian's words, it seems that the crows in this world are really all black.

"Of course!" Half of the Sky smiled and trembled, "Adults can't believe me, can't they still believe me?" said Half of the Sky and threw a seductive wink at Zhu Wushou.

"Okay!" Zhu Wushou suddenly smiled, "Your name for half the sky is not called for nothing! Since half of the sky in southern Xinjiang is going to help you today, then this kind of affection will be given to the governor!"

"The governor has won the award, and the governor is the ...... of the entire southern Xinjiang"

"Huh!" Before half the sky could thank him again and again, Zhu Wushou suddenly changed his words and said loudly, "Don't be in a hurry to thank you first! Pontus Governor gave you face not because he didn't check his goods, but because he wanted to cover his losses."

!”

"What......" As soon as Zhu Wushou said this, half the sky couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Lu Tian, how much is the price of your batch of goods?" Zhu Wushou turned his head to look at Lu Yifan with a smile, and asked lightly, "No matter how much it is, the governor of Pontus will pay you a penny without a penny!

Zhu Wushou coughed lightly at Zheng Xiang twice after saying that, signaling that he could do it. This time, not only Yin Xi couldn't bear it, but even Lu Yifan couldn't help but 'soar' and stood up from the chair.

"I know what the governor wants to see!" Just when Zheng Xiang was about to push away Yin Xi and forcibly break through, Yulou, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke, and as soon as his words came out, he immediately attracted Zhu Wushou's attention.

"Oh, you know?"

"It's not just me who knows!I think all the friends in the lobby today probably know!" Yulou sneered with disdain, "What the Governor wants to see is nothing more than the legendary treasures sent to the Five Domains Spirit Banquet by the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, yes or no?"

"Hiss!" As soon as Yulou said this, there was an uproar in the lobby. The reaction of everyone who was so shocked was not because Yulou said it wrong, but on the contrary, because he said it!

Zhu Wushou looked at Yulou's eyes and said word by word: "You can eat indiscriminately, but don't talk nonsense!"

"Actually, it's not just everyone here who wants to see this batch of treasures?" Yulou didn't pay attention to Zhu Wushou's words, but laughed aloud to himself, "Why don't we want to have a look? It's a pity that we don't know the whereabouts of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, and we don't know who the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce has found to escort this batch of treasures, even if we want to see it, we can't see it!" The governor wants to check our goods so much, could it be that he thinks of us as the ones who send treasures to the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce? And before Lord Zheng looked for Lao Jiu everywhere and said that he was bribing the news, could it be that Lao Jiu had news about this matter?"

When Yulou asked like this, many diners in the lobby also became interested, and one by one they turned their curious eyes to Zhu Wushou, as if they were waiting for him to answer. However, the only thing that responded to them was Zhu Wushou's silence and frowning.

"Report!"

At this moment, the gate of the post station was suddenly pushed open, and then I saw the southern border guard in a robe rushing in quickly, kneeling directly in front of Zhu Wushou, and arched his hand and said: "Back to the governor, a large group of people came to Jinmen, they said that they wanted to meet the governor, and they also said that they would spend the night in the border guard mansion today, let us arrange food and accommodation for them!"

Zhu Wushou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and then asked angrily: "The people who come and go are all living in the Golden Gate Station, but they dare to go directly to the Border Guard Mansion to ask for food and lodging?

"They claim to be the people of the Soul Sect, and it is said that the head of their sect is called ...... Lu Yifan!"

As soon as the southern border guard said a word, Zhu Wushou stood up suddenly, and then a thick look of shock instantly appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself, "It's time to come, it's finally here......"

Before the words fell, Zhu Wushou's figure had disappeared into the post station.

"For the sake of half the sky, I'll let you go for the time being!" Zheng Xiang, immediately call everyone back to the house with the governor of Bendu, and prepare to welcome the distinguished guests!"

......
