Chapter 54: Meeting
For Meiwu City, where people from all walks of life are gathered at the moment, it is not uncommon for two carriages to suddenly appear.
The government has strict control over people entering and leaving the city these days, so the two carriages were only allowed to enter the city after a series of strict checks. Perhaps the combination of one old and one young looks more reassuring than those five big and three rough charlatans, so they are not subjected to any trouble.
After passing the city, the two carriages began to diverge in different directions, one going straight to the north and the other turning to the south of the city.

From childhood to adulthood, Shi Yu is still the first time to go far away, so she has been in a very good mood all the way.
Han Zhongjing hadn't seen Shi Yu with such a happy smile on his face for a long time, and his youngest daughter's thoughts naturally couldn't hide from Han Zhongjing, but he didn't expose it, and he was happy to see that his enjoyment came from the intimate care of the little padded jacket.
Han Zhongjing and Shi Yu both went to Meiwu City for the first time, and they didn't have a specific understanding of Hongni Lane, where Li Chengren and Shen Jing lived, only knew that it was in the south of the city.
After entering the city gate, the intimate Shi Yu became even more active, and the job of asking for directions did not need the master to say that she had already completed it. Passers-by told Shi Yu that there was a tall peach tree in the red mud alley in the south of the city, so let them keep walking to the south of the city and they could see it from afar.
Shi Yu happily got into the carriage and told Han Zhongjing the result of asking for directions. Looking at the excited little girl, Han Zhongjing somehow couldn't be happy at all, and even wanted to beat him up when he thought of that stinky boy at this moment.
At this thought, Han Zhongjing shook his head and chuckled, everything was silent.
"Master, as long as we go all the way to the south of the city, we will soon be able to reach Hongni Lane." On the slow-moving carriage, Shi Yu smiled happily and said Han Zhongjing.
Han Zhongjing took off the wine jug pinned to his waist, raised his head and took a sip, then rubbed his stomach and said with a smile: "Then hurry up!" The master is still waiting for that stinky boy to make me something to eat, starving to death! ”
The red mud lane in the south of the city is not a prosperous area, it is more of a fireworks in the market. Those descendants of aristocratic and wealthy families who are above the top naturally don't like these, but the men who go south and north to run the rivers and lakes like it tightly. Therefore, Han Zhongjing and Shi Yu have heard a lot of noise along the way, Han Zhongjing is smiling and enjoying this feeling, and the little girl Shi Yu has been looking ahead, excited.
————
Sitting in the other carriage that entered the city with Han Zhongjing and Shi Yu was naturally Wen Hua, the elder of the outer building who went to Tingxiangyuan, and his grandson Wenjiu.
The Lishui side where Tingxiangyuan is located is the most prosperous area in Meiwu City, so the two of them walked along the way, and the teahouses and restaurants they saw abounded. Wen Jiu had rarely seen such a scene since he was a child, so he was not embarrassed by it, but even seemed to enjoy it all the way, attracted by the jugglers running on the side of the road, and the cheeks of the women who were teasing the women standing outside the door.
Wen Hua slapped Wen Jiu lightly on the head angrily: "Look! ”
"Grandpa, I didn't see it." Wen Jiu scratched his head and said aggrievedly.
Wen Hua didn't continue to say anything, nor did he care about his grandson's reaction, he just closed his eyes and faced ahead.
The wheels squeaked on the bluestone pavement, and after being beaten, Wenjiu no longer dared to climb indiscriminately, and occasionally he only dared to glance at it with his spare eyes when he was curious, but even so, the young man still felt very satisfied, and the excitement in his eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden.
The rest of this is naturally still hidden from Wen Hua, who closed his eyes and recuperated, but in this regard, he just turned a blind eye and didn't care about it. Young people, it's normal for blood to be strong.

Shen Jing in the building outside the building finally failed to leave as he wished, because Jiang Ning told him that he would need to meet an elder sent by the sect with her later. Shen Guo didn't ask about specific things, nodded and agreed.
The layer of thin veil that had been removed was put back on by Jiang Ning, and she stood side by side in front of the window with Shen Jing, looking at the carriage on the bridge in the distance that was slowly approaching this way. Although Jiang Ning didn't say who the people in the carriage were, Shen had some hunches that the old carriage in the picture was the most special.
The carriage drove slowly, and Shen Guo left Jiang Ning's small building.
Seeing that the seniors in the door naturally couldn't be in the boudoir, Jiang Ning needed to take a bath and change clothes, and Shen Guo was not good to stay longer, so Chen'er took him to another reception room.
Although Jiang Ning's small building is also in Tingxiangyuan, it is a small courtyard that has been opened up separately, so there are many houses in the courtyard and the area is quite large.
After Shen Guo got out of the small building, he followed Chen'er all the way to the place where the guests were in the main hall. The seniors in the building outside the building had not yet arrived, so there was only Shen Jing in the room at this time. Shen Guo found a chair to sit down and waited slowly.
After waiting for a while, no one came. Boredom, Shen Jing got up and paced, and unconsciously began to dance with the swordsmanship in his heart. Because there was no sword in his hand, Shen Guan turned into a sword with his mind, holding the air in his hand and gently fiddling with his arm. Like a dragon walking the river, the movement is not big, and the artistic conception is great. However, there is no one around the hall at the moment, so Shen Guo does not need to be taboo.
When the dance was over, he was calm and calm, quite comfortable.
Because he was facing away from the door, he didn't notice that there was already someone outside the door when he closed the ceremony before, but as soon as he finished here, he heard applause from outside the door and approached more and more.
Shen Jing turned around in surprise and saw an old man and a young man outside the door being led in by Dai Shuang.
The old man's white hair, although he looked old, his two pairs of eyes were bright, and he stared at Shen Jing at a glance. Although the old man has a kind face, he is also a little unangry and arrogant, so he looks more like a gentleman in a private school, and he always likes to keep a straight face. The young man next to the old man was a young man, who was not dressed luxuriously, but he could see that he was not a child of a poor family.
The old man looked at Shen Jing with a smile on his face, and the clapping action did not stop until this time. The little boy's face was even more excited, and even a little eager to try.
Shen Jing met the old man's eyes, and he could feel that the old man had no malicious intent. However, the gaze reflected by the old man's eyes had previously made Shen Jing feel slightly shocked in his heart, and Shen Jing could feel that the old man was not an ordinary person, he was very likely to be the same as his master, a master of the Grandmaster Realm.
After the old man stopped applauding, he looked at Shen Jing and said with a smile: "Without a sword in your hand, you can also show your sword intent, your swordsmanship is good, and you are not bad!" ”
After the old man finished speaking, the young man on the side also spoke: "Yes, yes, I think it's good." ”
The old man and the young man both praised Shen Kuang's swordsmanship, but Shen Kuang just smiled slightly and said, "The seniors have won the award, but they are just boring and dancing at will, and they can't be on the stage." ”
Regarding the identities of the two, Shen Jing had a plan in his heart from the beginning, and he also knew that the other party must have guessed his identity.
Although the old man didn't put any pressure on Shen Kuang, the invisible strength of the Grandmaster Realm master also shocked Shen Kuang's heart. The old man did not deliberately hide the aura on his body, presumably in order to give Shen Guo a dismount and let him know his identity.
Shen Guo was a person who had felt the monstrous sword aura on his master's body, so he was not afraid of the aura displayed by the old man in front of him, and even said that he had no feelings, his expression was indifferent, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
The old man looked at the face of the young man in front of him, Gu Jing Wubo, and was a little surprised in his heart. However, after thinking about the identity of the other party, it is clear that the selected person will naturally not be an unknown person, and how can he be put on the table without some real talent and learning?
Wen Jiu didn't think so much like his grandfather, as soon as he saw Shen Kuang's sword moves, he knew that it was not an ordinary swordsmanship, because he also learned swords, and what he learned was not an ordinary sword, so he couldn't help but pity the heroes. He couldn't see through the strength of the person in front of him, but the surging excitement in his heart made him still have the urge to compete with the other party, so he excitedly said: "That... Actually, my swordsmanship is also very good, do you want to compete with me? ”
Wen Jiu hesitated for a moment, because he didn't know what to call the person in front of him for a while, and after thinking about it, he replaced it with "that".
After Wen Hua heard his grandson's words, he didn't stop him, and Xu Wei also had the idea of letting Wen Jiu test Shen Qian's details, so he was also looking at Shen Jing with a smile at the moment.
Shen Guo looked at the reactions of the two, he thought that the old man would come forward to stop him, but he also had such thoughts in his heart, so for a while, Shen Guo was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and it was not a matter of not agreeing.
Just as he was thinking about himself, Shen Jing suddenly heard Jiang Ning's eager voice from outside the door: "Xiao Jiu'er, do you remember my sister?" ”
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, the three people in the room all looked out of the door. Wen Jiu, who was still excited to compete with Shen Qian, ran to Jiang Ning decisively after hearing Jiang Ning's voice, completely forgetting that there was still Shen Jing.
Xiao Jiu'er, who was excited, nodded heavily and told Jiang Ning that he still remembered. Wen Jiu looked at this sister Ning who he hadn't seen for several years, and his heart was excited, he wanted to rush into each other's arms and hug her like he did when he was a child, but then he thought that the two of them were no longer children, so he had to accept that idea.
Jiang Ning didn't know what Wen Jiu was thinking, she looked at Wen Jiu up and down and said with a smile: "Our little Jiu'er has grown up!" ”
Wen Jiu scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Ning! ”
"Let's go, go in with my sister! You must be hungry after being tired all the way, my sister has asked the kitchen to cook Xiao Jiu'er's favorite dishes, Xiao Jiu will wait! ”
With that, Jiang Ning pulled the warm wine and walked into the hall. She held Wenjiu's hand tightly, and thought of him as her brother.
Jiang Ning pulled Wen Jiu all the way to Wen Hua, she lowered her body and greeted, "I've seen Elder Wen!" ”
Seeing this, Shen Guo also learned from Jiang Ning and bowed: "Elder Wen! ”
Wen Hua looked at the two of them and said, "Miss doesn't have to be polite, and young people don't have to see outside!" ”
After speaking, the four of them sat down one by one at the square table.
