"Lin Jia's side, there is still no news?"

"Nope."

Fu Zhangyi's answer made Shangguan Shaoqin's already tightly knit brows even more uneasy, and he waved his hand to signal the other party to retreat, but after a while, he called the other party back again.

"I don't know what you're worried about, master?"

Fu Zhangyi's tone was cautious, Shangguan Shaoqin would rarely be so at a loss as today, the other party has always been strategic, and he looks like he is in control of everything.

Shangguan Shaoqin sighed and expressed his worries: "There is no news from Lin Jia's side, why didn't the Xuantian Sect react, if these two things were related, they should have done it a long time ago." ”

"Maybe it's something they're stumbling upon?" Fu Zhangyi guessed: "I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Xuantian Sect has been very active in the rivers and lakes in recent days, and many forces in the rivers and lakes have suffered. ”

"Xuantian Sect Holy Maiden" Shangguan Shaoqin was thinking carefully about this character in his heart, and suddenly someone outside the house came to report.

"My subordinates have something important to tell the head of the family." The man outside the door said in an urgent tone.

Shangguan Shaoqin glanced at Fu Zhangyi, who understood, and then silently retreated into the inner room to hide.

After making sure that the other party was hidden, Shangguan Shaoqin said calmly: "Come in." ”

"Yes."

The man walked into the house and presented a short sword with a nervous expression: "Master of the house, the doorman who kept vigil just now came to report that someone threw this thing on our door. ”

"Oh?"

Shangguan Shaoqin took the short sword and looked at it, only to see that it was ordinary and unremarkable, it was a short soldier that could be seen everywhere on the market, only the handle was carved with a pattern, it seemed that it should be a flower.

Shangguan Shaoqin looked at the flower pattern, the worry between his eyebrows gradually dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's finally here." ”

"Head of the house, what's coming?" The man wondered.

Shangguan Shaoqin threw the short sword back to the other party, and then ordered: "There is a distinguished guest here, order to go down, and set tea in the front hall." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

After this person retreated, Shangguan Shaoqin sighed at the empty hall: "It's all old friends, why bother pretending to be a ghost again, Brother Gongsun, please show up." ”

When the words fell, Fu Zhangyi, who was hiding in the room, immediately flashed out, and looked serious in front of Shangguan Shaoqin, and after a while, with simple footsteps, Gongsun Huan, who was wearing a black robe, quietly appeared in front of the two.

"Brother Shangguan, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed."

Gongsun Huan slowly took off the mask on his face, he walked to the tea table and sat down, picked up the teapot and made himself a cup, and at the same time filled it for the other party, and then made a gesture of please.

"I came from afar, and Brother Shangguan avoided him like a snake and scorpion, I'm afraid it's not in line with hospitality, right?" Gongsun Huan's tone seemed to be catching up with his old friend.

Shangguan Shaoqin chuckled: "Brother Gongsun said something, although I gave up my books to engage in business, I still remember more or less what my master taught, and my brother sat down." ”

As he spoke, Shangguan Shaoqin waved his hand to signal Fu Zhangyi to retreat, and the latter hesitated, but under the pressure of the head of the family's eyes, he still hesitated to retreat.

There were no outsiders, Shangguan Shaoqin sat opposite Gongsun Huan, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it all: "I don't know that Brother Tai is coming tonight, I haven't prepared wine, so I can only replace it with tea, this cup is my reparation." ”

After that, Shangguan Shaoqin drank this tea, and the cup he put down collided with the table with a crisp sound, the smile on his face did not change, but the temperature under his eyes was always cold.

"Brother Gongsun, you and I are old acquaintances, for many years, the Xuantian Sect and the Shangguan family have also regarded well water as not river water, this time you set the overall situation, could it be that I have offended something?" Shangguan Shaoqin said.

"Brother Shangguan has sharp teeth, this black can also make you say it bluntly, the well water does not violate the river water? I don't think so," Gongsun Huan rubbed his fingertips on the mouth of the cup, and said meaningfully: "Although the sect leader is doing things in a hidden way, it is not easy to completely bypass me. ”

Shangguan Shaoqin's expression paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that it is because of this matter, not to hide from Brother Tai, I do have some cooperation with the sect leader of your sect, but this matter should not hinder Brother Tai, right?" ”

"It's true that it can't stop me, but now I have something to ask for, so I have no choice but to be a villain."

Gongsun Huan said lightly: "The smuggling of tea and horses is small, and the iron ore trade is not a big problem, but when the two are put together, I am afraid it is a little eye-catching, Brother Shangguan is a smart person, I believe that you must have prepared a way back for this matter, but if the incident happens at this moment, no matter how careful your plan is, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, right?" ”

Gongsun Huan seemed to have grasped Shangguan Shaoqin's weakness, but the latter laughed, as if he didn't care, and said: "Brother Gongsun's eyes are like torches, now I have nowhere to escape." ”

Saying that, Shangguan Shaoqin said again: "However, for this matter, Brother Gongsun also took great pains, and also used the Qingcheng faction as a cover, which made me wonder. ”

Shangguan Shaoqin's calm and fearless appearance made Gongsun Huan muttered in his heart, he didn't know if this was because the other party was really confident, or if he was slapping his swollen face and being fat and deceiving himself.

"It's not, I already had some holidays with the Qingcheng faction, and I calculated that they were because of something else." After speaking, Gongsun Huan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said-

"That's it, Brother Shangguan, since we are all old friends, let's just talk quickly, I have a troublesome matter at hand, if you are willing to help, then I won't mention a word about these things, otherwise, I'm afraid that there will be rumors on the rivers and lakes tomorrow."

"Brother Gongsun, I have already said that this matter is up to you to deal with it as you please, but well." Shangguan Shaoqin smiled, and changed his words: "I'm also quite curious, what is the matter with you taking so much effort to pull me into the game." ”

"Huh, huh?"

Gongsun Huan leaned forward slightly, and a somewhat triumphant smile flashed in his eyes: "Shangguan Shaoqin, it seems that this aftermath is not as easy as you say, right?" ”

"Tsk." Shangguan Shaoqin's expression changed slightly, and after a while, he smacked his lips, and his eyes were a little impatient: "Brother Gongsun is still so cunning, it's okay, you can make a price." ”

Although Shangguan Shaoqin gave in, he also stated in advance: "Let's talk about it first, although this matter is a bit troublesome for me, it is not a catastrophe, so you'd better not open your mouth." ”

"Brother Shangguan, don't worry, it won't be embarrassing."

Gongsun Huan smiled, paused for a moment and said, "This matter is a long story, Brother Shangguan knows, I am a doctor and Taoist." ”

"Heh," Shangguan Shaoqin smiled meaningfully, "Brother Gongsun is indeed a holy hand of medical Dao, but you have killed far more people than you have saved." ”

"This is also true," Gongsun Huan nodded indifferently, and then said: "In short, I have made many breakthroughs in medical skills recently, and I have obtained a treasure by chance. ”

"There is such a thing, then congratulations to Brother Gongsun." The hypocrisy on Shangguan Shaoqin's face was obvious.

But Gongsun Huan didn't know, he continued: "It's just that if I keep this treasure, it won't make sense to put it in the Pavilion, I heard that Brother Shangguan has some friendship with Jinyiwei, so I want to borrow a way from Brother Shangguan." ”

"You want to send something to Jinyiwei?" Shangguan Shaoqin's eyes finally changed significantly.
