Although the old man's expression was flustered, his speech was indeed very clever, Zhang Lang did not laugh angrily: "Hehe...... How did the old man find out that I was an official? ”
The old man slowly stretched out his calloused right hand and pointed at the matching sword on the waist of Zhao Yun and others, it is said that this is not strange, but when Liu Bei was in Chengdu, he issued an order that people were not allowed to carry weapons. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The foreign merchants were all disarmed when they passed through Chengdu, which made the old man recognize their identities at a glance.
Knowing the reason, Zhang Lang changed again: "Don't worry, old man, we won't hurt you." It's just that this Chengdu City is Liu Bei's nest no matter how you say it. How did you get so depressed today? ”
The old man lowered his head very low, afraid that Zhang Lang's sharp eyes would detect something. It's just that I don't know, and the rest don't dare to say more.
The hot-tempered Dian Wei was anxious when he heard this, and stepped forward with a big grin: "Old man, if you ask you, you can say it directly, what are you trembling about." I didn't do anything to you! ”
Seeing this sturdy man standing up and roaring a tiger, it made the old man even more frightened, the old man took a step back, Zhang Lang saw this scene and immediately stepped forward, pulling Dian Wei behind him, and his eyes seemed to have pierced Dian Wei. And the old man was not stupid, and of course he saw that the leader of this group of people was the young man in front of him.
"Don't be afraid, old man. My brother is straight-hearted and reckless, which frightened the old man, so I'll take him to accompany you. Zhang Lang said that, he wanted to bow to the old man.
This scene was not only surprised by the old man, but even the few people behind Zhang Lang were also extremely surprised, with Zhang Lang's current status, he could still achieve such a degree of etiquette. I was thinking that I didn't follow the wrong person.
In fact, who knows what Zhang Lang has in mind. just silently looked at Zhang Lang who was about to salute, and the old man hurriedly helped Zhang Lang, who wanted to salute and make amends, to his feet: "General, please get up, you are like this, you can kill the old man." ”
The old man called Zhang Lang in a hurry, but he fell into Zhang Lang's trap, the old man in front of him is by no means simple, he can be in such an environment and not be surprised, he must not be an ordinary person.
Zhang Lang grabbed the old man's hand enthusiastically: "Old man, now you can tell me." What the hell is going on. Why is the capital of Xichuan so depressed today? ”
"The general doesn't know anything, the prime minister left a message before leaving, saying that General Zhang is a robber and the like, don't believe you, otherwise there will be trouble." The old man said, clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang hurriedly hugged the old man: "Old man, how do you know that I am Zhang Lang?" ”
"General Huwei, the old man didn't dare to be sure, but he saw that the general just now was a cross-clothed man, but he was a strong martial artist, if it wasn't for the general to stop him, I'm afraid the old man would have suffered at this time. More important is the general. The old man said and pointed his finger at Zhao Yun.
Zhang Lang looked at the old man's hand, only to see that the person he was pointing at was Zhao Yun Zilong, and he was surprised in his heart: "Oh, does the old man also know him?" ”
The old man replied: "General Zhao's prestige has long been spread all over the world, and it is not a secret, the old man is a person from Jiaozhou, and he saw General Zhao in Jiaozhou a few years ago. Who in the Jiangdong Army can stand in front of General Zhao, seeing that General Zhao respects General Zhang, who else in the Jiangdong Army can have such treatment besides General Zhang? ”
The head of the old man's analysis was Dao, and everyone couldn't help but be secretly surprised. I think the old man in front of him must not be an idle person. Zhang Lang focused on the issue of Chengdu's depression. Keep asking.
"The general didn't know, before the prime minister left, he also left a message that the Shu army would take it back to Chengdu in the near future. Believe what this means, the general knows better. ”
Zhang Lang listened thoughtfully to the old man's explanation, but he had an idea in his heart, and he was worried that he had nowhere to stabilize the hearts of the people of Chengdu, but unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang left himself a chance.
With an idea in his heart, Zhang Lang wanted to go home immediately and start arranging. But he wanted to find out the true identity of the old man in front of him.
"Old man, I plan to go home, I don't know if you would like to go to the house as a guest. Zhang Lang still has a lot of things to ask the old man. ”
The old man did not shirk, and arched his hand and said: "In this case, it is better for the old man to be respectful than to obey his fate." After that, follow Zhang Lang and his party to Zhang Lang's mansion.
Back in the house, Zhang Lang was not in a hurry to discuss with Guo Jia how to stabilize the people's hearts, but was more interested in the old man in front of him.
Zhang Lang put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked at the old man sitting in the hall: "Old man, you just said that you are from Jiaozhou?" ”
The old man knew that Zhang Lang was tempting, so he replied, "Exactly." ”
Zhang Lang stood up, walked in front of the old man, walked back and forth a few times before he was startled, and began to drum in his heart, although the face was unfamiliar, but the old man's eyes Zhang Lang was very familiar.
But connecting such an old man in front of him with a heavyweight who is related to his future really makes Zhang Lang a little puzzled.
The old man also seemed to notice something, and immediately withdrew his eyes and focused his gaze elsewhere, if this move was done by ordinary people, it would definitely make Zhang Lang more suspicious, and in the person Zhang Lang guessed, it made him a little puzzled. If it was really the person Zhang Lang guessed, it was possible to make such a move, and it was also possible to look at Zhang Lang, a floating cloud being.
Zhang Lang asked: "Is the old man's ancestral home in Jiaozhou?" ”
The old man listened for a moment and put down the tea bowl in his hand: "Exactly." Why did the general ask this? ”
Zhang Lang immediately continued: "My army has just come up from Jiaozhou, and I feel the scenery of Jiaozhou, and I want to ask the old man in detail." so that I can go again in the future. Another familiar way. ”
"Huh...... The old decay has not been returned to Jiaozhou for nearly ten years, and now I don't know how much has changed, and the old decay can't say for sure, so please ask the general to go to the rear on his own. The old man's hearty laughter made Zhang Lang even more suspicious.
"Oh, is it? As far as I know, there is an ancient temple in Jiaozhou that was built by the previous dynasty, and the momentum is not magnificent, but it is also spacious and bright. Do the old people know what the name of the temple is? ”
Zhang Lang's question did not stump the old man, he picked up the tea bowl in his hand again, took a sip before saying: "I'm afraid the general is mistaken, Jiaozhou is located in the middle of nowhere, how can he say that the ancient temple of the previous dynasty came from?" ”
After Zhang Lang's question ended, he immediately affirmed the identity of the old man in his heart, and was about to salute immediately, but was stopped by the old man: "General Zhang, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Lang stood up and looked at the few people around him before smiling at the old man and said, "There are no outsiders here, so Mr. Zuo doesn't have to hide it, right?" ”
