Chapter 118: Just Asking for One Meal (For the Dark Fallen Angel Alliance)
Gu Zuo was very moved, his experience of selling fish was finally able to show off: "Thank you Daochang Wu for your understanding...... When I was in San'in, I was desperate, penniless, and had to kill fish in the wild, and I was ridiculed by various sects in San'in, and they came to my stall at that time, and said that I was not allowed to do it again, saying that I had lost the people of San'in......"
The scene of that day was vivid, Gu Zuo was full of emotion as he spoke, and he felt the same way when he heard Wu Shanjing, and sighed.
"It was precisely when I saw you killing fish in front of the gate of Sanyuan Palace that Senior Brother Yu felt the same way, which made me feel more about you. ”
These words were really beyond Gu Zuo's expectations, so he could only keep expressing his gratitude, and then briefly said what happened to him in the Black Mountain Imperial Pavilion.
Wu Shanjing encouraged Gu Zuo again, saying that if Huaixian Pavilion encountered any difficulties, he could come to him, and he would try his best to help him.
But Gu Zuo could only listen to these words, and it was impossible to directly put forward the request and let Wu Shanjing reduce the taxes of the Black Mountain Edict, which would be too ugly. Of course, we can't stop there, and we have to find a reason to pull Wu Shanjing into this matter.
When he was circling around the rockery waterfall in the Black Mountain Edict Inn, he came up with one, but he didn't know what the effect was, so he could only take it out and try it at the moment.
"Daochang Wu, I really have a matter that I want to ask you for. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Wu Shanjing picked up the teacup and took a sip, his face expressionless.
This facial paralysis expression made Gu Zuo's heart suddenly, and his tone was three points weaker: "My Huaixian Pavilion was left by the old hall owner, when he was in Shanyin, it was really difficult, and then he went to Southern Xinjiang, planning to fight for the Daoist Pavilion to find a way out......"
Wu Shanjing's face was paralyzed, and his face finally moved: "Something happened to your teacher?"
Gu Zuo didn't have time to correct the ambiguity of the word "teacher" - although he had actually accepted his fate, he continued: "In the spring of six years ago, I went to Ruoye Creek to fish, and when I came back, Wen Yang Yu from the county joined the army, and he brought me this peachwood sword, saying that the old pavilion owner had encountered a beast tide, and in order to cover his colleagues, he was the first to rush up......"
As he spoke, he took out Heng Yi's sword and handed it to Wu Shanjing, who took the sword and lowered his head to identify: "Heng Yi ......"
"The surname is Wang, and the name is Hengyi. Wen Senjun said that he only saw this sword afterwards, and he also said that it does not necessarily mean that the person must be gone, and he will report to Longrui Palace and ask the Chongxuan Department to help inquire, but after all these years, there has been no news. I went to Nanzhao to set up a museum, but I also wanted to check his whereabouts, in short, I didn't see anyone, I don't give up!"
Wu Shanjing rubbed Hengyi's sword for a long time, returned the sword to Gu Zuo, nodded and said, "I'll help you inquire." ”
Gu Zuo got up and bowed deeply to him: "Great grace is not grateful." ”
Wu Shanjing hurriedly helped him up: "Don't do this, this is the right thing, I will do my best! Where did I find this sword?"
Gu Zuo said: "I don't know what I said about joining the army in Japan, I only said that I crossed the river in the south, but who found the sword is no longer available." After I went to Montenegro, I also inquired, Nandu River is a big river, more than 200 miles in the territory of Montenegrin Edict, and it is even longer in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang......"
Wu Shanjing muttered: "It's better to know that it is Nandu River, you can find someone to inquire...... Nandu River is located in the southeast of Yongchang Zhao and the southwest of Montenegro Zhao...... But I'll be honest, don't get your hopes up, even if it's me, I can only find out from the people of these two edicts. ”
Gu Zuo immediately said: "I am in the Black Mountain Imperial Pavilion, and I have a lot of care from Zhong Joinjun, and the two big shopkeepers of the Profit Money Village and the Spring and Autumn Pawn also have a lot of dealings with me, and we are also from Luofu County on the same road this time, and we live in the Black Mountain Inn." ”
Wu Shanjing nodded: "They are the landlords of Montenegro, it may be more convenient to ask them for help." ”
Gu Zuo said with a bitter face: "Originally, I wanted to ask the two big shopkeepers for help, but I didn't dare to speak rashly, I thought about asking you first." The two big shopkeepers are here to see Daochang Wu this time, and they want to ask me to introduce one or two, if I speak, they will definitely ask me to help, please go out for a banquet......"
Wu Shanjing's face remained unchanged, but his tone suddenly became cold: "Did you tell them about knowing me?"
Gu Zuo replied honestly: "I'm really sorry, when I came to the Taoist Academy last year, I heard that you went to the Black Mountain Edict, so when I got there, I asked Zhong Senjun if you were there, and I didn't know the situation at that time...... Who knows what they've been thinking. ”
"Of course they do!"
"So I don't dare ask them for help, so I can only bother you. ”
"They want to see me, do you know why?"
"I heard that it was a matter of tax reduction, but I didn't ask about the specifics. But I know it's useless to help them, how can such a big deal be used for trading?"
After speaking, waiting for Wu Shanjing to announce the verdict, if people really say "You did the right thing", then Gu Zuo will really be in a dilemma.
"You're doing the right thing, this kind of big thing is not tradable. It is not that they are inconsiderate of them when they are not inconsiderate of the amount of spirit stones handed over every year, but it is really important. For the livelihood of the world, the Chongxuan Department needs spirit stones, and the rated amount must be paid, which is also the meaning of the Chongxuan Agency. Just listen to these words, don't go out and talk more......"
The more Gu Zuo listened, the cooler his heart became, and he could only look forward to Wu Shanjing's "but".
However, Gu Zuo's came, but Wu Shanjing's did not wait.
"Don't meddle in this matter. ”
was rejected, although Gu Zuo was already mentally prepared for this, but when the other party really said this, he still felt unwilling and helpless, stunned in place, didn't know what to do, and said in a difficult tone: "I also want to ask you to go out and sit down......"
"I'll ask about your teacher, but it's very difficult, don't get your hopes up...... Is there anything else you need my help with?" Wu Shanjing picked up the tea cup, and the lid rubbed on it repeatedly, this is the tea to send off the guests.
Gu Zuo knew that he had aroused the disgust of the other party, and even the matter of finding Wang Hengyi's traces, the other party began to perfunctory, I am afraid that there is nothing "in the future" to say, the matter has come to this point, but it has strengthened his determination to choose "short-sighted", so he said euphemistically: "As you said, the matter of the old hall owner is very difficult, and the hope is really slim, please come forward to investigate, it is indeed a reluctant request, and I secretly think that if this matter is brought forward by the two shopkeepers of the Black Mountain Edict, it will be more convenient......"
Wu Shanjing was impatient: "What do you want to say?"
Gu Zuo took a deep breath and said stubbornly: "The two big shopkeepers promised that as long as they can invite you out for a meal, they can help me ......"
Wu Shanjing said coldly: "I'm not going!" and wanted to chase away the guests.
Gu Zuo bowed deeply: "Daoist Wu, you don't have to say anything, you don't have to agree to anything, just ask you to come out for a meal......"
Seeing that Wu Shanjing didn't answer, Gu Zuo gave a deep salute, lowered his head to his knees, and didn't dare to get up: "Daoist Wu, please......"
