Chapter 855: The actor is in place
At night, the atmosphere in the eastern capital was not as lively as before, and in the face of the strong attack of the Huo family and Huo Yunqi, the three major families retreated, which made the city covered with a strange tranquility of mountain rain.
There were few pedestrians on the road, and Tianquan walked in the dim streets, and the scene in front of him made his frowning brows not be able to stretch out.
The eastern capital is prosperous, the world knows, it is from the Qingcheng faction, and he also knows that the prosperity of the Central Plains is far from being comparable to the land of Sichuan and Shu, but when he comes, the bustling crowd is nowhere to be seen, and the pedestrians on the street seem to be hiding from something terrible, and their expressions are in a hurry.
Tianquan came to an inn that had not yet closed with a stomach full of questions, and the shopkeeper looked up and saw that although he was young, he was carrying a long sword, and his face suddenly became a little serious.
The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Er on the side, and the latter understood, forced a smile on his face, and stepped forward to greet him: "Guest officer, please come in, I don't know if you are playing a sharp game or staying in a hotel?"
Tianquan glanced at the sparsely populated lobby, a dozen or so tables were empty, and a group of people were sitting around in the corner, and their eyes had been staring at him all the time since he entered.
This vigilant performance made Tianquan's heart sink even more, and in the face of Xiao Er's question, he replied vigorously: "Is there still a room in the store?"
"Naturally, there is," Xiao Er nodded, and while leading the way for Tianquan, he pretended to ask unintentionally, "The guest officer has traveled a long way."
"Hmm." Tianquan glanced at Xiao Er slightly, and the latter turned his face away in some embarrassment.
Xiao Er's temptation is a little superficial, although Tianquan is not very old and has shallow qualifications in the rivers and lakes, he belongs to the kind of genius who has no teacher, so he quickly saw the hidden worries caused by the other party.
So, Tianquan took the initiative to speak, pretending to be chatting and said, "I came from Shudi, and I have long heard that the prosperity of the eastern capital is not inferior to the two capitals, why do I see it today, but it seems that the rumors are wrong?"
Xiao Er was surprised, "The guest officer doesn't know what happened in the city recently?"
Tianquan bowed his head and said, "I really don't know, can Xiao Er solve my confusion?"
Hearing that Tianquan didn't know the reason, the guard on Xiao Er's face immediately let go of a lot, he eagerly led Tianquan into the guest room, and then whispered: "I'm afraid that the guest officer has come at the wrong time, and now the Eastern Capital is in chaos."
Subsequently, Xiao Er explained the dispute between the three major families and the Huo family and Tianquan.
In today's situation, not only is the Fang family hesitating on the verge of breaking the net, but the Huo family, who has just won a big victory, is also a little too busy to take care of themselves.
At the Huo family banquet, the accidental death of the shopkeeper made Huo Yunqi look at the Lin and Liu families who were watching the battle, and he suspected that these two families were interested in profiting from the fishermen.
Therefore, now the four forces in the eastern capital are tense with each other, and the slightest collision of Mars may cause an unprecedented chaos.
Therefore, the people and merchants in the city, in order not to be affected by the pond fish, have chosen to hide far away, which is also the reason why Tianquan saw that the streets were deserted.
Knowing the reason for the abnormality, Tianquan also felt a little worried in his heart, he came to Dongdong because he received a letter from his eldest brother Yue Lifeng.
But the more embarrassing part is that the information given to him by the other party is very limited, in general, the other party only said in the letter that the matter was urgent and needed his help, so Tianquan rushed here without saying a word.
But when he arrived outside the Eastern Capital, the next news of Yue Lifeng was that he couldn't wait left and right, and there was no other party to guide him, Tianquan didn't even know how to find the other party, and now he had no goal, so he could only stare here.
However, sitting still has never been Tianquan's character, he quickly diverged his thinking, Brother Yue is thoughtful, he was able to receive the other party's letter in the deep mountains and old forests before, and it makes no sense that he can't send it now when he comes to the big city.
A reasonable explanation is that Yue Lifeng is too busy to take care of himself at the moment, and he has no spare energy to send him a letter.
Thinking of this, Tianquan's heart sank completely, and the news he learned from Xiao Er made him think about the reason why Brother Yue asked for help and the dispute in the Eastern Capital.
Tianquan couldn't sit still, so he came out in a hurry this time, and he also violated the order of the master, so this time he didn't wear the Taoist robe of the Qingcheng faction, or dressed as a Taoist priest.
Now that he is an ordinary swordsman at first glance, Tianquan thought, since he is here, he will simply go to the city to find out.
So after resting for the night, early the next morning, Tianquan turned to the Huo family's territory.
The Huo family was chosen because of the three major families in the Eastern Capital, Tianquan has nothing to do with it, and the former Sword Casting Villa is also a major force in the rivers and lakes, although it was defeated, but now the Huo family is barely half a Jianghu person.
Tianquan soon came to the front of the Huo family's mansion, and the guard at the door saw him coming with a sword from a distance, and saw that he was dressed decently, so the guard politely asked, "I wonder why this friend is here?"
Although some people are targeting the Huo family now, the eastern capital is also a Dayi in Henan, and in broad daylight, there are really few people who will use knives and guns in the city.
So the guard didn't think that the other party was not good, Tianquan claimed to be a ranger of the rivers and lakes, and explained his intention: "I have a lot of money, I have received the help of the old owner of Huo, passing through the Eastern Capital, I heard that the owner of the Huo family is here, and I came to visit."
Tianquan's excuse is good, how many people Huo Tianya helped back then has always been a mystery, anyway, before the Wangjianlou incident, his reputation for being kind and charitable spread all over the rivers and lakes, and everyone who mentioned him was called an ancient gentleman.
Upon hearing this, the guard did not suspect anything, but asked further, "It turned out to be an old man, I don't know where this young man came from, and when did he intersect with the old owner?"
Tianquan rolled his eyes and said casually: "It's me who said wrong, it's my father who has received the favor of the Huo family, this was more than ten years ago, and I can't remember the specific situation clearly."
The guard nodded, he didn't question Tianquan's statement, in fact, there was no need, it didn't matter whether he had received Huo Tianya's kindness or not.
Since the change in the situation of the Huo family, more and more heroes from the rivers and lakes have come to defect, not everyone in these rivers and lakes has a connection with the Huo family, but they all use this set of rhetoric to talk about things, because Huo Tianya is dead, as long as he does not investigate deeply, there is basically no flaw.
And Huo Yunqi also accepted all these people, because the Huo family now has an advantage, but after the Sword Casting Villa is gone, the overall strength has dropped by more than one step.
Counting on his own clansmen to top these gaps, I am afraid that it will be several generations later, and now whether these people have anything to do with Huo Tianya or not, they will be able to strengthen their momentum when they come, and there are even many excellent seeds, after cultivation, they can also help the Huo family.
The Huo family was short of manpower, so Tianquan's "refuge" did not arouse any concern or suspicion, except for one person.
On this day, Boss Zhu was invited to have breakfast with Huo Yunqi, and in his spare time, he was planning to go around the street, and as soon as he went out, he took a look at Tianquan.
Tianquan didn't recognize Boss Zhu, and when he saw the other party staring at him several times, he was a little strange, but he just nodded and said goodbye.
Boss Zhu stopped in place for a moment, then glanced back at Tianquan's back, and then said to the guards on the left and right: "I feel that young man seems to be kind-faced, I don't know who he is?"
The doorman relayed Tianquan's statement, Boss Zhu nodded slightly, and then left, and then the first thing he did when he returned to the house immediately contacted Lu Hanjiang.
"Yue Gongzi, the person you are looking for has appeared."
