Chapter 52: Meeting
......
Liu Chengyu didn't follow, just at the door, and said, "Uncle Su, please forgive the junior for taking the liberty to ask, do you know anything about the arson incident in Silver Leaf Town?"
Su Bo glanced at Liu Chengang a few times, then stroked his beard and nodded, "You are Liu Jingbo's eldest son Chengang!"
"It's the junior, Su Bo recognizes me?" Liu Chengang was a little surprised.
Su Bo said: "Yes, when the old man was in the capital, he didn't know Liu Jingbo, you were only seven years old at the time, and the old man saw you once!"
"It turns out that the seniors and my father are old acquaintances, please forgive the juniors for being rude!" Liu Chengang did not dare to slack off, and immediately bowed solemnly.
Su Bo nodded and said: "The incident in Yinye Town you asked about, on the night of the fire, the old man did pay attention to it, there was a battle in the back mountain, and the second said that only a poisonous corpse was left, and a few people died in the town, and this matter is not small, after the investigation by the government, the news announced to the outside world is suspected to be the hand of the poisonous sword Zhu Wu!"
"Poisonous Sword Zhu Wu?"
Liu Chengang looked at Su Bo with a strange expression, and said in a condensed voice: "Su Bo, this Zhu Wu should be a black pot, right?"
Su Bo looked left and right and said in a low voice: " The Tang family intervened in this matter, they seemed to be still investigating the clues of the robbery of the Sword Pavilion last time, the few dead townspeople in Silver Leaf Town, some people had seen Nie Lin enter the woods, and when Nie Lin came back that night, some people also noticed it, but the reward clues given by the Sword Pavilion made those people not think of this child, but after the Tang family became suspicious because of the Fengzuishan incident, they were also trying to investigate the matter, so those few witnesses could only disappear, and the arson incident was a little strange, and the old man didn't know who did it!"
Liu Chengang said: "Why don't you tell Nie Lin about these things?"
Su Bo said: " You should know that now the major forces are thirsty for talents, and the Sword Pavilion intends to release the relevant news of the child, just to attract the attention of various forces, so that the child will be wary of the recruitment of these forces, thinking that getting close to him is deliberate, if the Liu family is also so clear in this kind of thing, if someone adds fuel to the fire, thinking that the Liu family brings Entu to repay, it will be counterproductive, and everyone knows Liu Jingtao's surname, and we also think that it is best to go with the flow, this child does not want to be attached to the Liu family, there should be his thoughts, so Tianlu Academy is his best choice, this is also the cleverness of this child, now you should understand?”
Liu Chengang suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I understand!"
"It's good to understand!"
Su Bo stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Mr. Lu's protégés are all over the world, if Tianlu Academy can be upgraded to a big teaching house this year, it is estimated that half of his students will come to vote, and there are two families of Liu and Yang as solid backing in the way of the sword, and the Tianlu Academy gathers political, kendo, and military ...... It is very possible that elite talents in many fields will gather and become a sect in a short period of time, but as for how to develop in the future, the old man will not tell you!"
Although Liu Chengang still had questions in his heart, he didn't ask any more, he felt that it was necessary to go back and talk to the elders privately, so he raised his fist and said, "Then the junior will go and meet Mr. Lu first!"
"Let's go!" Su Bo nodded, and after Liu Chengang entered, he closed the door again, and the old god closed his eyes on the ground and recuperated.
......
In the courtyard, after Nie Lin came back, he found a new piece of clothing to change into.
Seeing that Gu Menghan was still wearing thin clothes, which they bought temporarily when they passed through a town on the way back, they found a thicker coat that they were wearing, and said, "Senior sister, the weather is cold, you can wear this coat first, and after entering the city later, I will buy you a few new ones!"
"Hmm!" Gu Menghan nodded, put his clothes aside, and said, "You go to see Mr. Lu, I'll wait for you here!"
Nie Lin knew that she was not in a good mood, so he didn't say anything, so he took a few books and put them on the table and went out.
Gu Menghan picked up a book casually, flipped through it and put it down, but after seeing another "Autumn Notes", he became a little interested and became fascinated.
After Nie Lin came to Lu Zhaonan's courtyard, when he passed by a pavilion, he happened to hear some chaotic piano sounds, as if it was the first time a new song was played, so he took a detour past the pavilion.
I saw that in the pavilion, there was a delicate and charming girl, her little face was red from the cold, just looking at the snow outside the pavilion, plucking the strings from time to time, as if she was composing a score by herself, and seemed very serious.
He heard that there was a problem with the score, and Nie Lin wanted to go over and correct it, but after thinking about it, it was too abrupt, so he passed by and entered the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, I hadn't knocked on the door, but the door suddenly opened, and I saw that it was Qiu Ling's pretty little girl.
After she saw Nie Lin, she was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, her eyes blinked, and said, "You're back, Mr. is in the back room, come with me!"
"It's hard work!" Nie Lin nodded, and followed Qiu Ling into the house, Qiu Ling led him to sit down in the living room, poured tea for him, and went to the back room to report.
After a while, I saw Lu Zhaonan walking out of the back room, and Liu Chengang next to him, Nie Lin got up and saluted, and said, "The student has seen Mr."
"Don't be polite, sit down!" Lu Zhaonan knew something from Liu Chengang, his expression was very indifferent and relaxed at this time, and after sitting down, he looked at Nie Lin a few times before saying, "Cheng Ang has already told me about you!"
Nie Lin said: "It's just that the student promised to rush back in March, but it was delayed for several months, which is already a broken promise......
Lu Zhaonan interrupted and said: "You don't have to mind, this time the academy won the second place in the Xiazhou semi-finals, and it can be regarded as getting a place in the general competition, but there is something to tell you, after the spring, to participate in the national competition, Tianlu Academy will be restructured and become a sword academy, so I hope you can represent the name of Tianlu Sword Academy to participate in this competition!"
When he came back on the way, Liu Chengang had mentioned this matter to Nie Lin, and he had already known it, so he got up and raised his fist and said, "The student will live up to the trust!"
Seeing this, Lu Zhaonan was relieved, eased up, and said: "We'll talk about this matter later, you should go back to the house with me and visit Mr. Wangqiu, his condition is more serious, which is worrying!"
After Nie Lin left the courtyard, he returned to live and saw Gu Menghan reading the Qiulin notebook, looking very engrossed.
When he approached, Gu Menghan raised his head and said: "Some of the deeds in this note, grandma once told me about some, Mr. has traveled for many years, and found that the world's diseases can be cured, but the heart is difficult to treat, so he abandoned medicine and followed the text to cure the world's heart diseases, but he can cure others, that is, it is always difficult to cure himself!"
Nie Lin said: "Let's go see him, his condition is very serious!"
......
Out of the courtyard, when he met Lu Zhaonan at the gate of the academy, Lu Zhaonan and Su Bo were talking at the door, and the girl with a red face and Qiu Ling he saw before was standing aside, and suddenly saw Nie Lin walking with a strange woman, and the eyes of the two girls fell on Gu Menghan's body, and they kept looking, looking very strange.
Qiu Ling muttered in a low voice, "Why is this sister wearing men's clothes?"
Let's Zhaonan was also a little surprised when he saw the coat Gu Menghan was wearing, but he was still very kind, and said: "Miss Gu's matter, the old man knows, if Miss Gu doesn't dislike it, she will live in the academy in the future!"
"Thank you, sir!" Gu Menghan was generally very indifferent to outsiders, and after a casual polite sentence, he stopped talking.
Yinye Town is not far from the academy, Lu Zhaonan and Gu Zhiqiu also know each other, and they have also seen Gu Menghan, so they naturally know her surname, and they don't care, after nodding, they took a few people out of the door.
But before he left the gate of the academy, he saw a young man outside riding a horse, and after stopping at the gate of the academy, after seeing Nie Lin and the others, he had an easy-going smile on his face, and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet a few more here?"
Nie Lin was a little surprised, this person was the young man they saw on the way back from the Sword Beast Forest who was being chased by the disciples of the Thorn Moon Sect - Li Yifeng.
