Out of the Huaizhou realm, the caravan couldn't help but speed up unhurriedly, because the cavalry that was still following behind two days earlier had long since disappeared, thinking that the whole team had returned to Beizhou, without the Li family cavalry, the bandits had no scruples.

After handing over a few tolls and sending away a few harassing thieves, the caravan continued on the road, if it weren't for the fear of the rich merchants' entourage and the recklessness of the temporarily hired rivers and lakes, how could the thieves ask for such a toll, but they were afraid that they would directly show their knives and rob them.

"Li Gongzi, is this trip back to the Central Plains?" After two days of getting along, the sisters found that Li Bad was still quite easy-going, not like other chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, and he put on a rejecting appearance thousands of miles away at every turn.

Li Bad, who was sitting on horseback, heard Qin Lin's question, turned his head and said to Qin Lin, who was sitting in the carriage with a small face: "We Jianghu people have no saying that they will go back this time, they are just experienced everywhere. ”

"Childe is at peace with what happens. After speaking, he asked tightly: "That son is going to Jiangnan?"

"I heard that Jiangnan feng shui is very good, I think I will go, but I have to go to Wudang Mountain first, and I can't go with Miss Qin. Li said with a smile.

Qin Lin turned her head and wanted to hide in the carriage of her sister and said, "Did you hear that, he didn't go with us." There was a sudden "Ahhhh

At noon, the caravan stopped to rest and rectify, but Qin Lin ran over and shouted to Li Bad, who just wanted to deal with some dry food: "Li Gongzi, if you don't dislike it, please have dinner with us, my father heard that Li Gongzi helped our sisters, and he also wanted to thank Li Gongzi in person!" After speaking, he looked at Li Bad expectantly.

Since he was a child, he has been a cheap and not a bastard, so he is willing to let go of this opportunity, he is tired of eating this dry food, and hurriedly returns: "Then I will bother and bother." After speaking, he followed Qin Lin to the Qin family camp.

When he arrived at the camp, Li Bad took the lead in saluting Qin Huaiyuan, and said with a smile: "Master Qin, under Li Hao, thank you for being invited by Master Qin!"

Qin Huaiyuan looked at the handsome young man brought by his daughter, looked at it carefully, and then said: "It is said that heroes are born of young people, and Gongzi is really a good one, if it weren't for hearing the little girl talk about it today, I don't know that the young man saved the little girl, it's really ashamed!"

"Master Qin is polite, at that time, I just saw that the road was uneven, what kind of hero is not a hero. Li said embarrassedly.

Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Oh, since you are the little girl's life-saving benefactor, how can you be so polite, if Gongzi Li doesn't dislike it, the old man will take care of it and call me Uncle Qin!"

"Uncle Qin!" Li Bad immediately replied: "Uncle Qin will also call the boy Xiao Li, right?"

"This kid has a good look!" thinking in his heart, he hurriedly recruited Li Bad to sit down, and said, "Then dare to be kind! Xiao Li, I don't know where you are from the Central Plains?"

Li Bad replied unhurriedly: "Kid Huainan." When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he asked: "Then I don't know what the family is doing...."Before he finished speaking, he saw his daughter pulling at the placket of his clothes, and then remembered how this was the dialogue between his son-in-law, and suddenly laughed dumbly: "It's weird, Uncle Qin can't help it, can't help it." ”

Li Bad could only smile awkwardly.

And Qin Huaiyuan, the old fox in the shopping mall, can't hear it, this kid is sloppy, looking at the fabric of this clothes, the white horse behind him and his manners, can an ordinary big family teach such a child? If he is a righteous man in the rivers and lakes, let him take out the Qin family's family business to gamble on him. But this kid doesn't have any bad intentions, and he doesn't want to say that he doesn't want to ask, as long as he doesn't have any bad intentions, then the businessman is happy to make friends.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Xiao Li, is you returning to your hometown this time?"

"It's considered to be a training place elsewhere, and when you go to the vicinity of Wudang Mountain, the kid will retire first and go up the mountain to have a look. Li Bad replied casually.

"Oh? Xiao Li is still going to Wudang Mountain? I heard that there are real immortals in this Wudang Mountain, but don't be influenced by the immortals, go up the mountain to cultivate." Qin Huaiyuan laughed. "That's not going to happen, the kid also went to Wudang Mountain in his early years, and he didn't see any immortals, but there are a lot of Taoist priests, if he can meet him, it doesn't hurt for the kid to learn the immortal law from him. Li Bad also laughed.

"Hahaha, Xiao Li is really wonderful!" Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile.

After eating, Li Bad, who was just about to dodge, suddenly heard a soft and weak "Li Gongzi!", Li Bad turned around, and saw this sister Qin Xiang, who had always been hiding, calling herself.

"What's the matter, Miss Qin?" compared to his sister, Li Bad asked in a proper manner.

Qin Xiang took out a sachet as if he had mustered up his courage, handed it to Li Bad, and said quickly: "If Li Gongzi goes to Jiangnan, he must go to Qin's house as a guest!"

Li Bad looked at the sachet in his arms with a dull expression.

..................

The late autumn of the twenty-third year of Qing'an is about to pass, and the dignitaries and nobles who are far away in the capital seem to have just recovered from the grand celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the various stalls, the vendors are trying to stop by the customers who want to stop by and talk about the quality of their goods. Business is done in conversation.

Zhang Qian, who had just left the early dynasty, was leisurely pacing in the street, accompanied by Wu Shidong, the servant of the ministry.

Wu Shidong, who can be said to be from a poor family, looked at Zhang Qian, who had just pulled himself away from the court, and said depressedly: "Master Zhang, your old man has nothing to do when he goes to the court, and there are still a lot of things in the boy's yamen." After walking all morning, it seems that it is time for dinner, and you still haven't said anything, what are you going to do, you always give a word, so that the kid has a bottom in his heart!"

Zhang Qian took Wu Shidong's arm, walked forward, and said, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, let's go, the old man invites you to dinner." ”

Wu Shidong suddenly felt powerless, no one in the court could figure out what kind of temper this Shoufu Master was, and the old man wanted to invite himself to dinner, how dare he refuse, so he could only follow half-push and half-on-the-spot.

Watching the old man pull himself down into a small noodle stall, Wu Shidong suddenly felt curious, this old man is very rare to invite guests, but it is also the first time to see the court officials invited to the small stall, it is even more strange, when he was not sure what medicine Zhang Qian was selling, Zhang Qian skillfully made it on the small stool, and shouted: "Lao Liu, two bowls of small noodles look the same!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper responded casually, Zhang Qian turned around and said, "Don't look at this stall, the taste is a must!"

Wu Shidong suddenly cried and laughed, and said, "Master Zhang, you are really informal." With that, he sat down on the side.

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Haha, Lord Wu, this is the first time that someone has been invited to a small noodle stall, right?" Wu Shidong just smiled in response.

Zhang Qian smiled again and said, "I heard that Lord Wu is from a poor background in the Northland, so I don't think he will be poor and exquisite, right?"

When Wu Shidong heard this, he replied: "If you don't pay attention to it, you don't pay attention to it, the boss is like this, if I am blind, I will actually save the face of the boss." ”

Zhang Qian smiled: "Then let's say okay first, I'm having a treat today, can Lord Wu just eat?"

Wu Shidong immediately shouted: "Shopkeeper, a bowl of noodles is enough!"

Zhang Qian shouted tightly: "Add two more eggs!" Wu Shidong suddenly froze, with a sad face: "What does Master Zhang want to do?"

Zhang Qian said unhurriedly: "Small things, small things, the old man just wants to buy an official with Lord Wu." ”

Wu Shidong looked at Zhang Qian in a daze, sighed, and said nothing.

At this time, the shopkeeper brought two bowls of steaming noodles, one bowl without eggs, and the other bowl stood with two peeled white eggs.

Zhang Qian picked up the chopsticks and took the lead in eating, while Wu Shidong hesitated for a moment before moving the chopsticks.
