Chapter Thirty-Eight: Shenwu Gate
Hongyan City, in a teahouse, Lu Shu and Gu Qiuyu sat by the window, with a pot of strong tea and two small cups on the table, the two of them looked calm, and Gu Qiuyu's eyes looked at the soldiers coming and going on the street from time to time.
When the guards in the city heard that the Xingtian Temple had entered the city, they immediately sent soldiers to seal the city gate and search the whole city. The notoriety of the Xingtian Temple is well known in the four states, and many bloody crimes have been committed in this stone country, and no one does not hate it to the core, but they are also very afraid.
"Do you know that torture lifeless?" Gu Qiuyu, who was drinking tea, saw that there was no one around, and asked in a low voice. Immediately, he felt that his problem was too stupid, if he didn't know that there was no life, how could he pass on his skills to create the big battle just now.
Lu Shu leaned back in the chair relaxedly and nodded.
Gu Qiuyu didn't ask much, he knew that although this person usually talked a lot, he was talking about other people's things, and even his own origin had to be guessed by Gu Qiuyu himself. And now Gu Qiuyu is not in the mood to think about the relationship between Lu Shu and the death of the prisoner, but just hopes that the city pass will be opened as soon as possible.
"At a young age, why do you still have a mustache?" Lu Shu looked at Gu Qiuyu and said in a somewhat ridiculous tone.
Gu Qiuyu was in the mood to argue with him, and said with a displeased face, "What?
"It's a lot like a person. Lu Shu seemed to be pointing.
Gu Qiuyu was moved in his heart, he kept this beard because he missed his family, and when his father was alive, he kept a beard on his chin.
"Scrape it, otherwise there will be some trouble after arriving at Panshi City, the capital of the Stone Country. Lu Shi said, took out a knife from his body and handed it over. Gu Qiuyu didn't answer, and as soon as his mind moved, the armor sword flew in his hand and shaved his beard.
At this time, there were not many people in the teahouse, otherwise there would have been a riot when they saw such a similar scene. And Gu Qiuyu didn't hide the idea of the sword dueling, he knew that everything about himself was clearly seen by this mysterious middle-aged man. Sure enough, when Lu Shu saw the armor sword flying into Gu Qiuyu's hands, his face remained unchanged, but he still had a look of reasonableness.
After a while, Gu Qiuyu stopped the "flying" sword in his hand, and his already delicate face became more handsome, and the elegant aura became more and more intense.
Lu Shu nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Let's go, the search is nearing the end, let's go and pick two good horses first." ”
Gu Qiuyu asked, "Which Zhou family will mention the two of us?"
Lu Shu laughed: "The Zhou family is the one who is asking for trouble!"
Then the two of them came to the place where the horses were sold in the city, and as soon as they arrived, they saw that the soldiers were slowly evacuating, apparently having just laid an ambush here, but found nothing.
The bosses in the horse market looked at the departing soldiers, one by one, with sad faces, most of the day without business, their horses were also frightened, but there was nothing they could do.
The dwarf horses in Hanzhou are different from the tall horses in Yanzhou, they are short in stature, and their explosive power is not as fast as the horses in Yanzhou, but they are strong and have full endurance, and they do not have too many requirements for forage, which can withstand the severe cold of the winter in Hanzhou.
The two of them walked around the horse market for a while, and were a little disappointed, this Red Rock City is not big after all, and it is not a place where Shifang produces horses, and most of the horses sold are mixed.
After a few turns around the two, Lu Shu's eyes lit up, and he came to an old man who was about to lead the horse home, and after a period of bargaining, he spent a total of fifty taels of silver to buy two horses that looked pretty good.
Of course, Gu Qiuyu didn't have so much silver to buy horses, even the worst inferior horses, he couldn't afford them.
"Hahaha, yes, although these two horses are not good horses, they are still much stronger than the others. Lu Shu led the horse and came to Gu Qiuyu with a happy expression.
Gu Qiuyu took the reins and said gratefully, "Sir, don't worry, when I arrive in Rock City, I will definitely return Mr.'s horse money." ”
"Okay, talking counts, the mother-in-law at home is in charge of it, and I borrowed this money from a friend when I came out. Lu Shu laughed.
"Won't the gold be exchanged?" asked Gu Qiuyu.
He also knew that Jin Buchang, and he had met him when he was in the Dust Country, but Gu Qiuyu thought that he was just a businessman, wandering around the world, and his mind was not right. So on that day in Lingbao Mountain, when Lu Shu mentioned this person, Gu Qiuyu didn't react.
"Hmm. Lu Shu nodded, didn't say much, led the horse and Gu Qiuyu and walked towards the city gate.
It was not until evening that the gates of the city slowly opened, and the soldiers stood on either side, checking on everyone who left the city. Lu Shu and Gu Qiuyu led the horses and slowly disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun with the crowd.
In Lingzhu Country, Xuanwu City, Jin Buchangzheng and Uncle Jiang sat in the Osmanthus Building, eating vegetables and drinking wine slowly. Three warriors in their thirties stood behind them.
"I said, He Da, don't stand there, sit down and eat some food, this small country of Lingzhu, don't be so cautious. Jin Buchang, who was eating the vegetables, beckoned the three of them to sit down, and these three people were the three people who took a look at Zhang Changsheng when he was in the caravan.
The young man who was called He Da by Jin Buchang stood in place and said respectfully, "Second Young Master, you can eat yours, don't care about me." As he spoke, his eyes were aimed at Uncle Jiang on the side.
Uncle Jiang didn't look at him either, just tasted the wine by himself, "Good wine, I didn't expect this Lingzhu country to have such good wine!"
"If Uncle Jiang likes it, he will prepare a car for you when he orders someone to go back. Jin Buchang smiled slightly, not caring about He Da's small actions just now.
"It's so good, there's Second Young Master Lao, haha. ”
At this dusk, there were already a lot of guests who came to eat in the inn, and they all looked at Jin Buchang's position with some curiosity, no wonder, except for the rich and nobles and eunuchs, whoever came out for a meal had to bring a few guards.
"Uncle Jiang, what is the purpose of going to the Spirit Bead Country this time, we have been here for two days, why haven't we heard any instructions yet? Don't tell me that I only came here to establish a relationship with the Black Tiger Hall. and that Lu Shu, who suddenly appeared again, and then disappeared, which is really incomprehensible. During the meal, Jin Buchang said what he had pressed in his heart.
In the Jin family, Uncle Jiang's identity is extremely special, there are some things that Jin Buchang doesn't know, but he is very clear, and he is very proud of Jin Buchang, as long as he knows things, he will talk to Jin Buchang, and say the stakes by the way.
Uncle Jiang put down the wine glass in his hand, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I went back to the Shenwu Sect a few days ago, and I didn't hear anything important, and your father only told me to give the Moonlight Armor to the Black Tiger Hall, and didn't say anything else." Also, that Lu Shu is not a good person, I advise the young master not to get too close to him, that person can't even figure out the details of him. ”
At this time, if anyone else hears the content of the conversation between them, they will definitely be surprised, not for anything else, but for the three words of Shenwumen mentioned by Uncle Jiang.
Yanzhou Yue country, there are many mountains and mountains in the country, rich in iron ore, sophisticated weapons, the domestic people are fierce, advocating force. Among them, there is an article in the law of the Yue Kingdom that says, 'Those who kill people will not pay for their lives, and those who are assigned to the army and go to the battlefield will be exempted from punishment if they kill one person, and they will be rewarded for killing two people.' ’
And Shenwumen is the sect in the territory of the Yue Kingdom, the location is on the Wusheng Mountain, the sect has nearly 10,000 disciples, countless masters, it is the first sect in the Yue Kingdom, and the strength is second only to the Qingxuan of the Yang Kingdom. But who is strong and who is weak, few people can say clearly.
The Yue Kingdom also relied on the Shenwu Gate and many natural hazards in the country to firmly occupy a place in Yanzhou, which is full of powerhouses, otherwise it would have been annexed by the Ya Kingdom in the east.
When Jin Buchang heard it, even Uncle Jiang didn't know the truth, so he had to sigh lightly, he, the second young master of the Chamber of Commerce, didn't even know about this kind of thing, which was enough to see that the family didn't value him very much. Moreover, his eldest brother Jin Ximo has to suppress him in any way, so that his second son will not be reused by the family.
Uncle Jiang saw that Jin Bu was like this, and he also knew that the second young master was worried, so he persuaded him, "The second young master doesn't have to be too depressed now, your father is also entrusting you with some more important things now, as long as you behave well, there may be a turnaround in the future, remember, don't make mistakes." ”
"Listen to Uncle Jiang. Jin Buchang is a little weak, and he can only do this now.
After being full of wine and food, Jin Buchang did not go upstairs to rest, but sat here with Uncle Jiang and chatted, and the three guards behind him found a place to eat next to the two of them after agreeing.
At this time, it was dark, and there were still many guests chatting and bragging in the inn, but they were all far away from Jin Buchang's seat. Clear-eyed people have long found that the few people sitting here are not ordinary people, and their dress, words and deeds are several stronger than the royal family in the country of Shanglingzhu.
At this moment, the door of the inn was pushed open, and a group of people walked in. After looking around, the group went straight to the position next to Jin Buchang and sat down.
Uncle Jiang found them as soon as the group entered the door, and the wine glass in his hand was also placed on the table, while Jin Buchang looked a little cold.
"Yo, isn't this the second young master of the Jin family? What a coincidence, you also came to the Lingzhu Country to do business? But this Lingzhu Country is forbidden to martial arts, how many people dare to buy your Jin Ge's things. After one of the people in the group sat down, he pretended to be surprised and looked at Jin Buchang, and the voice of 'Second Young Master' was very heavy by him.
"Hmph, isn't it the same with your Iron Horse Chamber of Commerce? Besides, you're not qualified to dictate to me here. Jin Buchang looked at the person who was sneering at him, and his mouth was merciless.
Sure enough, when the man heard this, his face turned cold. The Iron Horse Chamber of Commerce, like Jin Ge, is one of the two major chambers of commerce in Vietnam, and it is also engaged in the sale of weapons, and there is inevitably some competition between the two, so they are full of hostility when they meet.
"For the sake of the tongue, I want to see what status you, the second young master, still have after Jin Wei's rich slave dies. Then, the man beckoned Xiao Er to come over and prepare to order.
Jin Buchang couldn't stand this anger, and said with disdain on his face, "It's better than you, a slave who is a dog for others, and I don't look at what your identity is, you deserve to talk to me here." ”
Although they are businessmen who value harmony, they pay attention to harmony and make money. But now, the relationship between Jin Ge and Iron Horse is like that of two warring countries, they are always stumbling on each other, and there is a situation that is not going to die.
When the man heard this, he immediately became angry, slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Jin Buchang's nose and was about to scold, but as soon as the finger was stretched out, Jin Buchang pinched it in his hand and slammed it down.
"Ahh
When the people of the Iron Horse Chamber of Commerce saw that Jin Buchang hurt people, they all stood up angrily and stepped forward. The three people around Jin Buchang also came to Jin Buchang's side at this time and protected him. When the guests in the inn saw the two groups of people, they immediately fought, and they all left one after another, and some of them secretly walked to the official place.
"Young Master of the Jin family, you are all businessmen, so why hurt people. Suddenly, a young man came out of the Iron Horse's group, who was about thirty years old, white-faced, well-looking, and dressed in a white-green brocade robe. The most surprising thing was that he was holding a sword in his hand at this time, and the pitch-black scabbard was inlaid with a little bit of silver, like a star.
Uncle Jiang, who had not spoken, also slowly stepped forward at this time, and his attention was on the young man who had just spoken since the Tiema group entered the door.
Jin Buchang only found this person at this time, and when he saw the person's face, the hand that was holding his fingers was put down, and his body retreated behind Uncle Jiang. The leader of the Iron Horse Chamber of Commerce breathed a sigh of relief, covered his fingers, and looked at Jin Ge's people with a resentful expression.
"Sure enough, it's rumored that your Iron Horse Chamber of Commerce has been very close to Qingxuan recently. Uncle Jiang said slowly.
The young man with the sword laughed and looked at Uncle Jiang, "I didn't expect to meet the protector of the Shenwu Sect here-Jiang Tianguang, Jiang senior, junior is advantageous." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you are one of the seven swords, where can you use to salute this old man of mine?"
