Chapter 62: Walking the Rivers and Lakes

In the pouring rain, the official road met by chance, Zhong Yangming, a young and strong man, was invited to get in the car.

This is really surprising.

Although Zhong Yangming is in the palace all the year round, he also knows that the public security environment in Daqian is really not very good.

If a normal person sees a man who is traveling alone, he generally will not take the initiative to invite him to the car, for fear that he will lead the villain.

If you meet a woman who is traveling alone, most of the people who invite the other party to get in the car are villains.

So when he heard this invitation, Zhong Yangming was very surprised.

After a closer look at the carriage, it looked ordinary on the outside, but it was pulled by four horses, so the carriage was very huge. Zhong Yangming has no experience in the rivers and lakes, so he can only guess that there are either many people sitting on it, or people and goods are mixed.

And the person who sent the invitation to Zhong Yangming was a very kind-looking man, about twenty years old, judging from the dress, he should be a rich son, the hair on his head was very expensive, and the collar looked like expensive silk.

Looks, very distinctive, eyes are very big, but the eyebrows are thicker than fingers, looking honest and upright, it's easy to feel good.

And Zhong Yangming was dressed in a simple blue robe, and he looked more like a prince.

Seeing this person's invitation to stop in the rain, Zhong Yangming couldn't help but feel a lot of curiosity, so he arched his hand to him and said, "Thank you." ”

This person also seemed to be very happy, and showed a smile to Zhong Yangming.

After getting into the carriage, Zhong Yangming found that the various arrangements inside the carriage were also very luxurious, which was completely different from the low-key outside.

Brocade paving, velvet as a cushion, all over the carriage, decorated with pearls and jade, although this design can not be said to be good or not, anyway, it is so expensive.

There were a lot of people sitting in the carriage, except for the rich kid, everyone else could be regarded as strange.

Some people have jute shirts and straw sandals, like beggars; Some people have red hair, like flames; Some people wear gold rings on their ears, and their front teeth are also inlaid with gold, and they are deliberately exposed to the outside, for fear that others will not be able to see them.

Some people are not from the Central Plains at first glance, and the slightly more normal ones are also holding long knives, with scars on their faces, and they are people who walk the rivers and lakes at first glance.

With such a group of people sitting in this luxurious carriage, Zhong Yangming suddenly became even more curious.

Zhong Yangming took the initiative to say to the rich young master: "Thank you for inviting me to get in the car to avoid the rain. ”

The rich young master said happily: "The Taoist is polite, walking in this river and lake, there are many friends and many roads." In Xia Wenqing, a businessman, he went to Qi County, Jizhou to do business, and the Taoist chief also went to Jizhou? ”

Zhong Yangming said in surprise: "What a coincidence, I am also going to Qi County." ”

The iron mine is in Qi County, and I really didn't expect to meet fellow travelers as soon as I came.

Wen Qing also smiled and said: "That's really fate, I felt like fate as soon as I saw the Taoist, so I took the liberty to invite you to get in the car." I didn't expect that even the destination was the same, did the Taoist go to Qi County to travel or visit relatives? ”

Zhong Yangming replied: "I have been practicing hard in the mountains for a long time, and it is not conducive to cultivation behind closed doors, so I went out for a walk. ”

That's right, he went to Qi County to practice, but this sound is a little funny to others.

Because Zhong Yangming is too young, looking at the teenage little Taoist priest, saying that he has been practicing for a long time is really not convincing.

Some people close their eyes and recuperate, but some people don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, so they directly sneered: "What a big little doll, how many years can you cultivate at your age?" ”

Zhong Yangming glanced at the other party, it was the one with a gold ring on his ear and a gold tooth.

This person was staring at Zhong Yangming with provocative eyes, as if he was waiting for Zhong Yangming to become angry.

Zhong Yangming asked curiously: "Big Golden Tooth, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen you, I shouldn't have any grudges, could it be that you have something to do with the Taoist priest, so you opened your mouth to target me?" ”

The man who was called the big golden tooth by Zhong Yangming raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Zhong Yangming to reply so bluntly, which was not in line with the rules of the Jianghu people.

The other people in the carriage were also quite surprised, Zhong Yangming's words were too straightforward.

Generally speaking, they first report to a sect, then inquire about other people's names, and then weigh the pros and cons to see whether to admit or refute.

If this little Taoist priest is not famous at all, the big golden tooth will continue to taunt, and it is best to force this kid to take the initiative to admit it, so that he will naturally increase his prestige. If this little Taoist priest is famous and difficult to deal with, the big golden tooth will say that for the sake of your master's face, then nothing will happen.

But this kid doesn't have this habit at all, and he also directly breaks the things that everyone knows, which is not ready to give any steps, and he wants to directly lift the table and tear his face.

The other people in the carriage all had a look of good fun, but Wen Qing hurriedly said: "It's just a misunderstanding, this red-haired ghost is a senior in the rivers and lakes, and he is famous for his straightforwardness and no offense, don't take it to heart."

"Meeting is fate, give face to the next one, otherwise the two gods will be world-famous, and if you make a little move, my carriage will fall apart, and you don't want to be drenched in the rain, right?"

Wen Qing, the master, spoke, and the big golden tooth, nicknamed the red-haired ghost, snorted coldly and said: "Of course, the master's face must be given, and I don't want to bully the small, but I can't get used to seeing those hairless mouths talking wildly." ”

Seeing that the red-haired ghost was not making trouble, Wen Qingzheng breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Zhong Yangming ask: "Young Master Wen, is this the bodyguard you invited to escort Ling to do business?" ”

Wen Qing nodded and said: "Yuji Dao has good eyesight, and the road has not been smooth recently, and there are a lot of bandits, so my father asked me to bring these masters with me when I came out to talk about business, so as not to encounter accidents." ”

"Then why did you call me into the carriage, Gongzi Wen, in case I am a villain?" Zhong Yangming asked curiously.

"How can this be? If I'm not mistaken, this Taoist robe of yours is from the Xuanxuan Temple, right? In this world's sect, the only one who can't be a bandit is Xuanxuguan, maybe the Dao Chief's family is ten times richer than Zaixia? ”

"Xuanxuanguan?" When the big gold tooth heard this, he immediately frowned.

He didn't recognize the Taoist robe of Xuanxuguan, but he had heard the name of Xuanxuanguan.

This is a Taoist temple offered by the royal family, whether it is fame or status is much higher than the ordinary Jianghu sect, it can be said that it is not a level at all.

Fortunately, Wen Qing opened his mouth to play a round game, otherwise the big golden tooth could only sacrifice the trick of "I have some friendship with a certain Taoist master of Xuanxuguan, and I don't care about you".

Wen Qing is always smiling when he speaks, this smile is very affinity, Zhong Yangming originally wanted to worry about this big gold tooth, and I was also curious about what means a person with such a strange shape could have.

can look so individual, martial arts must not be bad, otherwise he would have been killed because of his arrogant hairstyle.

But now that Wen Qing spoke, Zhong Yangming had no choice but to give the master's family a face.

Zhong Yangming also understood why Wen Qing let him get into the car, and probably recognized his robe. As we all know, the Taoist priest of Xuanxuan is either rich or expensive, and it is rare for businessmen to meet such a person, so they naturally want to take the initiative to pull the relationship.

Zhong Yangming thought that he had guessed Wen Qing's thoughts, so he was also happy to rub the carriage and save some mana.

The carriage went all the way in the heavy rain, but Zhong Yangming didn't feel bored, because Wen Qing was a very talkative person, and he seemed to be able to see that Zhong Yangming had no experience in walking the rivers and lakes, so he talked to him about many rumors along the way.

Especially related to Qi County, Wen Qing seems to know this place well, which makes Zhong Yangming gain a lot.

The carriage went all the way, and after walking for more than half an hour, the carriage stopped without stopping in the heavy rain.

Wen Qing asked the driver strangely, "Why do you park?" ”

The coachman immediately replied, "Young master, there is a big tree in front of you that has fallen and stopped in the middle of the road. ”

Wen Qing frowned and asked, "Did the gale hang down or was it cut down?" ”

If it falls in a strong wind, it is a natural disaster, and if it is cut down by someone and placed in the middle of the road, then the next thing to face may be a man-made disaster.

The groom was obviously also a frequent walker, and understood what Wen Qing meant, but he replied, "The rain was too heavy to see clearly, so I didn't go any further." ”

The carriage was still twenty or thirty feet away from the huge shadow, and it was still too late to turn around, and if it continued to advance, it was very likely that it would fall into an ambush by others.

Wen Qing didn't panic, turned to the people in the car and said, "Several, please go and investigate, so as not to be ambushed." ”

This is the proper meaning, and the bodyguard does this.

But the big gold tooth, who was particularly arrogant just now, was silent at this time, as if he didn't want to go outside to get drenched in the rain.

However, another person dressed like a beggar took the initiative to ask Ying and said, "Young Master Wen doesn't need to worry, I will come when I go." ”

Then the beggar grabbed a verdant bamboo cane, put on his robe, got out of the carriage, and walked towards the shadow that blocked the way.

But after a long time, he still didn't see the Blue Stick come back, and there was no screaming or fighting sound from the rain, as if a big living person had just disappeared into the rain.
