Chapter 40: Encounter with Zidan
159
Let's say that Long Zixi and the Fang family brothers were talking to the two heroes of water and fire, and four more people broke into the door.
At a glance, it was Qiu Shan and the three heroes of the Qin family, and it was Qin Shijie who walked in front and shouted loudly.
When Qin Shijie saw Long Zixi, he had already hugged him, and he couldn't stop looking at it again and again, and laughed:
"I know that Yin Jifu's old thief can't hurt you! Look, our young heroes are stronger and taller, and in a few months, I'm afraid I won't dare to admit it! ”
Qin Yingjie smiled:
"Why does the third child just hold Brother Long? Don't you see Lord Qiu here? ”
Since Na Qiu Shan came to Shen State in the ancient military battle, he was dismissed from his official position by King Xuan, and he is no longer a person in the officialdom, but everyone is still used to calling him Lord Qiu, and he doesn't care.
Qin Shijie let go of Long Zixi and said:
"It's been a long time since Brother Zixi is a man, if it's a girl's family, I think we have to fight."
Everyone laughed.
Long Zixi Chong Qiu Shanyi hugged his fist:
"Master Qiu, thank you for making it happen last time."
Na Qiu Shan's face was full of spring breeze, and he smiled:
"Little brother, it's a pleasure to have you as a friend when the old man is old! The old man has the heart to do it, but unfortunately he can't return to the sky. The little brother doesn't blame the old man, it's the old man's creation. ”
Long Zixi said in his heart, it seems that they don't know that their aunt's children may still be in the world, and the "jade-faced hot hands" are really unpredictable.
I didn't have time to explain at the moment, and asked:
"Master Qiu, and Brother Sanjie, are your poisons and injuries completely healed?"
Qiu Shan smiled:
"You see the old man's old bones are okay, right? It's just that it's not younger than Sanjie and recovers quickly. Little brother, don't worry, the old man can't die, and the old man has to settle accounts with that Yin Jifu traitor! ”
Huo Yunqi looked at Shui Haobo and said with a smile:
"Look, do you still need me, someone will settle accounts with that old dog."
Shui Haobo ignored him and shouted loudly on the side:
"Guys, really, what's the point of just talking about that? Why don't you sit down at the table, let's have a good drink! ”
The crowd applauded in unison.
The next four went to see the Fang brothers.
Everyone pushed Qiu Shan to sit in the chief, and Huo Yunqi had already instructed his subordinates to make a few more dishes and brought up two large jars of wine.
160
After a few rounds of drinking, everyone reunited after a long absence, their emotions were high, and they talked more.
Qin Shijie shouted:
"Little brother, a few months have passed, what heroic deeds do you have? Tell me about it! ”
Long Zixi went to Lu Gongshan to see Lu Shuyang, and then explored the camel Dongzhuang and found that his aunt's child may not be dead, and followed him to Taiyuan Road to meet the soil Lord to go to the country of Yanxi, and told you again.
Hearing everyone's sighs, they were even more suspicious.
Qiu Shan shook his head and said:
"Then Yin Jifu is crazy? It's cheaper for him! and that Lu Shuyang, who also had some dealings with me in his early years, but unfortunately died unexpectedly! ”
Longzi Xi looked ashamed:
"What's more, the "Taigong Art of War" was robbed by someone and has not been accounted for so far. not only failed the trust of Lu's predecessors, but also lived up to Miss Tian's intentions. Let me be uneasy under it! ”
Shui Haobo persuaded:
"Young heroes don't have to blame themselves. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. How can Miss Tian blame you? ”
Qin Yingjie hurriedly changed the topic:
"What I feel most strange and happy about is that Chen Daxia's orphan may still be in the world, so the matter of dropping the baby girl must be the work of 'Jade Noodles'. Master Qiu, do you know any clues? ”
Qiu Shandao:
"The old man said before that although the 'jade-faced hot hand' also did something for the old man, he came and went freely and acted well-behaved, and many things the old man didn't know."
Longzi West Road:
"So, what is the origin of 'Jade Noodles Hot Hands'?"
Qiu Shan smiled:
"This old man naturally knows. However, he has a word first, and the old man can't tell his origin, and he will know at a certain time. ”
Qin Shijie said:
"Little brother, what does he care about his origins? Anyway, I think he's a good guy and won't hurt you. ”
Qiu Shan nodded and said:
"Let's not talk about the 'jade noodles and spicy hands'.
"I have also heard that the kingdom of Nasijon is ambitious and has bad intentions.
"They came to Shen Guo this time, and even the prince came, but I am afraid that there is a bigger conspiracy, and we have to discuss this matter carefully."
Fang Sange said:
"Yes, along the way to Shenguo, we saw a lot of incomprehensible things, and eighty percent of them did it."
And he told him about the killing of many people he had seen on the road.
Qiu Shan nodded:
"The immortals of the Western Regions are strong in martial arts and vicious, and now they are serving the Xirong Kingdom, but they are a fierce enemy."
Qin Shijie said:
"Hmph, according to me, they must not want to unite the world's martial arts people to serve the country together, and want to destroy the heroes' gathering! I can't say it, the soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, and a big battle with them is enough! ”
Qiu Shandao:
"There are many things that are not yet clear, and we must not act rashly, just act at the opportunistic."
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"These days, martial arts people have come one after another, that Taiyuan Jigang, Jingmen Yang Pu, Shudi Green Snake Gang are all here, by the way, Yin Qiu from Camel Dongzhuang is also here."
Long Zixi was surprised:
"Yin Qiu is here too? Do you see Mr. Pei? ”
Huoyunqi shook his head:
"I haven't seen that, but I think he'll come!"
Long Zixi couldn't help but ask again:
"Will Miss Tian come?"
Shui Haobo smiled:
"Miss Tian is a heroine among women, so she will naturally come. Little brother and patience.
"It's just, Miss Tian and Shen Hou's daughter, which one do you want? You've got to think about it. ”
Qin Shijie shouted:
"What else do you want to think about! Isn't it enough to have both? ”
Fourth Brother Fang:
"How? And the beautiful girl! ”
Qin Shijie stuck out his tongue:
"Little brother, you can do it, there is another one? If you can't say it, then you have all three! ”
The crowd laughed for a while.
Look at the time is not early, Qiu Shan said:
"Let's go our separate ways and participate in the heroes' gathering the day after tomorrow, everyone be careful."
When the table is dispersed.
Long Zixi thought to himself:
Why is there no news from Zolmei?
Could it be that something happened?
161
In the afternoon, Long Zixi rested for a while, but he was always at ease Zhuo Ermei, and thought about Miss Tian again, and said in his heart:
Seeing that she also lives in Xie Cheng, how can I see her as soon as possible.
I thought about it repeatedly, but I couldn't lie down anymore.
Get up and look at the two heroes of water and fire, both of them have drunk a lot at noon and are sleeping soundly.
quietly slipped out of bed and went to find the Fang brothers, but the two of them were not there.
Thinking about it, he came out into the street alone.
It turned out that Long Zixi and the two heroes of water and fire lived in the same room, and the two brothers of the Fang family lived in another room.
Look at the city, the scale is not large.
As he walked along, he made an appointment for a cup of tea, but he saw a small city, the gate of which was guarded by a sergeant.
Longzi Xixin said: It turns out that this Xie City is divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities, and the inner city must be where Shen Hou lives.
After looking at it for a while, he saw that the people who entered and exited the inner city were all dressed as officials, and that there were soldiers checking them, and he knew that the inner city was not a place where he could enter and leave at will, so he turned back and walked to another street.
This street is very prosperous, with people coming and going.
On both sides of the road, there are shops for buying and selling, or bartering.
Long Zixi stopped in front of a stall selling sour jujube cakes, and the mother-in-law who sold the cakes greeted:
"This little brother thinks he drank wine and chewed a piece of sour jujube cake to relieve hangover."
Long Zixi saw that the mother-in-law had a kind attitude and a lovely smile, so he bought a piece.
At this moment, I suddenly saw three people hurrying on the opposite side, and one of them recognized that it was Lu Zidan from Lujiazhuang!
Long Zixi just wanted to step forward, but he saw two people next to Lu Zidan, and one of them actually recognized that it was the person who caught him and kicked him that day.
Long Zixi immediately turned his face and lowered his head.
The three of them were obviously in a hurry, and without squinting, they walked all the way.
Long Zixi was suspicious, skimmed the sour jujube cake and followed.
But I saw the three of them turn left and right, and when they arrived at an inn on the edge of the outer city, they walked in.
Long Zixi saw that there was someone guarding the door, so he stepped on the door of a shop that dealt in local specialties and aimed at it from a distance.
After a bag of cigarettes, two people came out of the store, one of whom was the one who caught him and kicked him that day, but there was no trace of Lu Zidan.
The two men left the inn and went straight out of the city.
Long Zixi waited for a while, but still didn't see Lu Zidan come out.
I thought, how can Lu Zidan be with the people of the Western Regions Immortals?
Did he take refuge in them?
But I couldn't figure it out.
As he was watching, suddenly someone ripped off his clothes behind him.
162
Long Zixi looked back, but it was Fang Jie, the third brother of Fang.
Seeing Long Zixi's face, the third brother shook his head at him and nodded again. Turned around and entered the store.
Long Zixi also turned around and followed up with the store.
saw that Fourth Brother Fang was also there, and he was picking out something in front of the counter.
The fourth brother had already turned around and nodded at Long Zixi.
In addition to the owner of the shop and the three of them, there were several other people who were also picking out something.
Third Brother Fang said to Fourth Brother Fang:
"Haven't you chosen your brother yet? My little brother and I have to go back first. ”
Fourth Brother Fang smiled:
"There are a lot of souvenirs here, but I am dazzled by the moment, and I don't know what to buy. You go back first, and the brothers choose slowly. ”
Third Brother Fang took Long Zixi in his arms, and the two left the store and hurriedly returned to their residence.
Entering the house, Third Brother Fang hurriedly asked Long Zixi:
"How did the brother get there? What did you find? ”
Long Zixi told him about seeing Lu Zidan and following him. Asked:
"Those people are a gang of immortals in the Western Regions?"
Third Brother Fang didn't know Lu Zidan, but he just heard what Long Zixi said, and when he heard Long Zixi ask, he nodded at the moment:
"Yes, it's them.
"Didn't our brothers be ordered by Lord Tu to find out the details of Xirong Kingdom's coming to Nanshen? I pay attention everywhere.
"I found that the group of immortals in the Western Regions also arrived in Xie Cheng yesterday, and among them was the prince of his family.
"Forty or fifty of them came, and they took all the inns of the house.
"The two of us pretended to buy souvenirs and secretly watched them in the shop across the street from the inn."
Long Zixi asked:
"What did you find?"
Fang Sange said:
"I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. It's just that as soon as they arrived yesterday, they sent people into the inner city, presumably to see Shen Hou. ”
Long Zixi asked:
"How so?"
Fang Sange said:
"When we saw that some of them were going to the inner city, we followed them secretly.
And at the inner gate of the city, he saw that the man seemed to be holding a paperwork, and he spoke a great deal to the guard who was guarding the gate.
Then another man came out of the inner city and brought him in.
"But it took a long time to come out.
"When he came out, he saw that the man's face was happy, and he wondered what he had achieved."
Longzi listened and thought: The prince of Xirong Kingdom is here, and it is normal to visit Shen Hou in an official capacity.
Just thinking about it, Third Brother Fang said again:
"Originally, we also thought that it was normal for the prince to visit Shen Hou.
"It's just that there are many princes and princes from vassal states here this time, how can Shen Hou have time to meet them one by one?
"In this case, it is generally a banquet, and it is not rude to welcome it together.
"There is nothing special about the princes and princes of various countries, so they no longer ask to see each other alone.
"And the prince of Xirong Kingdom asks to see him alone, it must be something else."
Long Zixi nodded:
"What the third brother said is reasonable. It's just a matter of how to find out in detail. ”
Third Brother Fang thought for a while and said:
"There's no good way for a while, just look for another opportunity."
As he was talking, the two heroes of water and fire came over.
When a few people saw each other, Long Zixi and Third Brother Fang told the matter again.
Seeing that both of them were worried about further information, Huo Yunqi suddenly smiled at Long Zixi and said:
"Brother, would you like to be the second child of that shop once?"
Long Zixi was puzzled and looked at Huo Yunqi suspiciously.
163
Let's say that people are puzzled when they hear Huo Yunqi say that they want Long Zixi to be a shopkeeper.
Huo Yunqi smiled:
"I just heard my brother say that I want to find out the truth, and my brother and I had a whim.
"My brother has an acquaintance, who is the bookkeeper of the inn.
"Yesterday I was told that there were so many people in the store at once, and there were not enough people, so I helped find a few temporary helpers.
"Brother thought, isn't this a great opportunity?"
Shui Haobo smiled:
"What a hero my brother is, why do you want him to be the second shopkeeper? Besides, after the battle of Camel Dongzhuang, many people on the side of the immortals in the Western Regions know their brothers, is it possible to do that makeup method? ”
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"Exactly."
Third Brother Fang also had doubts:
"There are two days left before the Heroes Conference, and it's easy for brothers to go to the inn, how to get out?"
Longzi West Road:
"It's not difficult to get out, my brother has his own plans. I asked Brother Huo to make arrangements quickly. ”
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"There's no rush to this. I would like to invite Lord Qiu to come, and we will think about it carefully to make sure that nothing goes wrong. ”
And everybody said yes.
At that moment, Qiu Shan and the Qin brothers were invited again.
When everyone heard this, they all felt that this was a bit risky, but it was also a good idea.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qiu Shandao finally said:
"Almost.
"According to the old man's wishes, I also asked Fourth Brother Fang to be responsible for contacting Shaoxia, Shaoxia had something to do, and went to the specialty store opposite to find Fourth Brother Fang.
"There is just one thing, brothers are in the tiger's den, don't be reckless, everything is based on safety.
"In addition, counting today, my brother only has two days, no matter how well he investigates, he must think of coming back early."
Long Zixi nodded:
"Little nephew understands!"
At that moment, everyone helped, and in a short time, Long Zixi turned into a young man with a two-handful beard.
Then, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, Huo Yunqi found two more people, led them to see the bookkeeper together, and smoothly entered the inn.
