Chapter 7: Breaking the Iron Shoes
As soon as he walked out of the gate, Pan Suxuan grabbed Zhao Niantong and turned around to a corner, and asked anxiously: "What the hell is going on? What happened to you in Buzhuang? What are you doing in so many inns? What is the competition going on three days later? Don't hide it, let's talk quickly!"
Zhao Niantong said angrily: "Senior brother, you let go first, you hurt me! Besides, if you ask so many questions in one breath, how can I answer you?"
Pan Suxuan calmed his tone and said, "Okay, don't worry, start from entering the cloth village and talk slowly." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
So, Zhao Niantong told him how he talked to Wang Rong in Buzhuang and how he knew that the daughter of the general who protected the country was going to compete to recruit relatives. After hearing this, Pan Suxuan asked, "Then why are you looking for inns everywhere when you come out?"
Zhao Niantong replied: "Isn't this my going to verify whether there is really such a thing as a martial arts contest to recruit relatives? That Wang girl said that the inn was full of people from the rivers and lakes who came to compete in martial arts, so it really looked like this. I deliberately walked three inns from east to west, but there were no empty rooms, and if you look closely, you will find that most of the people living in the rooms are armed with weapons, and they really look like some people walking the rivers and lakes. ”
Pan Suxuan said: "So, what this Wang girl said is true?
Zhao Niantong said: "Yes, this is not the fourth inn, and I met this big man with the surname again...... As soon as I heard him say it, it was confirmed that there was indeed such a thing as a competition to recruit relatives. ”
Pan Suxuan lowered his voice and said softly, "His surname is Xiao." Senior sister, this person is not simple, this person is not only good at kung fu, but also quite scheming, now it is not clear whether he is an enemy or a friend, we should not take it lightly. ”
Zhao Niantong was puzzled: "Senior brother, this big man Xiao has a bit of kung fu, I can see it, but you say that he has a scheming, I don't understand, how can I see it?"
Pan Suxuan said: "Senior sister, before this Xiao Gongzi entered the inn, did you talk to me?"
Zhao Niantong said: "No." ”
Pan Suxuan said: "Then have you ever found me following you into the inn?"
Zhao Niantong said: "No." ”
Pan Suxuan said: "Then do you think anyone will notice that I am following you?"
Zhao Niantong said a little impatiently: "There shouldn't be." Brother, what are you going to say?"
Pan Suxuan said with a straight face: "Before this Xiao Gongzi came in, you didn't talk to me, and you didn't know that I was in this inn, and no one else noticed that I was following you, that is to say, no one in this inn knew that the two of us knew each other and were companions, right?"
Zhao Niantong nodded. Pan Suxuan continued: "But as soon as this Xiao Gongzi came in, he didn't ask if you and I knew each other, and with just a few words, he had already seen through the relationship between you and me.
Zhao Niantong was also puzzled when he heard this, and said: "Yes, he said that you and I will go to him together after we are done, which shows that he knows that we are companions, so we are invited together." That's weird, brother, how do you think he knows?"
Pan Suxuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, this person is quite weird, you and I need to pay more attention." ”
Zhao Niantong nodded and said, "Well, senior brother, you're right." This big man Xiao will also participate in the competition in three days to recruit relatives, so we should be wary of it then. ”
Pan Suxuan smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, it seems that you are also going to a martial arts competition to recruit relatives? If you defeat this young lady in the martial arts competition, do you still want to marry her home?"
Zhao Niantong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled and said: "Who said that I was going to compete on stage? I just went to see the excitement." This finally went down the mountain once, and when I arrived in such a prosperous city as Jinling, I happened to catch up with the daughter of the general who protected the country to recruit relatives, if such a big excitement was missed, it may not be again in my life. So Brother Pan, don't persuade me, I have to go to the scene of this martial arts competition!"
Pan Suxuan said: "It's okay to go, but we have to complete the things assigned by the master first, and we must not miss the right thing." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Niantong said with a little displeasure: "Senior brother, what did the master explain to you? You are mysterious along the way, no matter how I ask you, you don't tell me, always tell me to go to Jinling." Now that you've arrived in Jinling, you can say it, right?"
Pan Suxuan shook his head and smiled: "I didn't tell you for a reason. The master told us to send a letter to a senior surnamed Chen before the tenth day of the third month. If I tell you this, according to your nature, you will not be able to control your curiosity along the way, and you will have to open this letter and read it, will it not be against the teacher's command?"
Pan Suxuan only said half of the task, and the master explained that if he saw that he was in trouble, he had to help and omitted it. Because according to his feelings, this senior is most likely to have an enemy visiting, and the master sent himself to warn after learning about it. But I don't know why the master prefers to take Zhao Niantong down the mountain by himself, doesn't this put her in danger? He couldn't figure out this question all the way after thinking about it. But no matter what, he has decided that if there is any situation, he will stand up and not let his junior sister risk herself......
Zhao Niantong was still in the dark about all this, and said unconvinced: "What is there to disobey the master's order? This letter master didn't say that he wouldn't let others see it first? Maybe we can see it first, what else can we prepare in advance?"
Pan Suxuan said: "The master didn't say it verbally, but he said it in the letter, don't believe it." After that, he took out an envelope from his arms, only to see five big characters written on the envelope - "Brother Xiaotian personally opened".
Zhao Niantong looked at the envelope, frowned, and muttered in his mouth: "Xiaotian, Chen Xiaotian, why does this name sound so familiar......
Pan Suxuan was puzzled: "What's the matter, junior sister, do you know this senior?"
Zhao Niantong said: "I don't know, but I feel like I've heard this name somewhere, and I can't remember it for a while, where is it...... By the way, the general who wants to hold a contest for his daughter to recruit relatives seems to be called Chen Xiaotian?!"
Pan Suxuan said loudly: "Is this true?!"
Zhao Niantong said: "Senior brother, can I still lie to you? I heard what Miss Wang said to me with my own ears, and their master is called Chen Xiaotian!"
Pan Suxuan was overjoyed and said: "If this is the case, then we really have nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here! You and I quickly return to the Chen Mansion to meet this senior!"
Zhao Niantong also said happily: "Exactly, let's hurry up and finish the things that the master has explained, and then we can go to the big set and watch the martial arts competition as we like! Senior brother, let's go quickly!"
The two immediately turned around and ran towards the General's Mansion......
