Chapter Twenty-Eight: Inquiry (1)

Everyone still stayed in the post house, and when they were stable, Xi Zhen asked He Xiong: "You said that you must visit that master within three days, old thing, do you know that person, do you know where you live?"

He Xiong said nonchalantly: "I don't recognize it, and I don't know where I live." I said they would visit in three days, so they wouldn't bother us in three days, and when the time came, someone would come and invite them. ”

Xi Zhen pursed his lips, didn't ask any more, and said to everyone: "Now that I have arrived in Ningbo Mansion, it is still half a day's journey to Cixi Kuaima." I don't want to go to Cixi first, and the brigade stays in the post house. I will go to Cixi overnight tonight to find out the situation there before making a decision. I wonder what you think?"

Zhu Yunwen praised: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles." I agree with my brother and will first find out what is true before making a decision. When the rest of the people saw Zhu Yunwen, they agreed, and they all agreed.

So Xi Zhen arranged for He Xiong Huang Gui to stay behind to protect his safety, and he was ready to set off for Cixi overnight after a little disguise. Xi Zhen looked at Guan Qing who was full of worry and said, "Sister Qing, don't worry, I'll go and come back quickly, and I can find out and come back in two or three days." Seeing that Guan Qingshang was still worried, He Xiong said: "What are you worried about? How many people can hurt the stinky boy on the rivers and lakes now?" As soon as the words came out, he thought of the mysterious master of Laikezhuang. I couldn't help praying in my heart: "I hope I don't run into that person on this trip." ”

He Xiong's internal strength has improved a lot at this time, and his martial arts cultivation is even more incomparable. He was not afraid of running into that person, but with Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng by his side, he wanted to ensure their safety, so he didn't want to run into that person and cause more trouble.

After Xi Zhen arranged to stop, he went out of the city gate at night and ran to Cixi quickly.

Let's say that after Xi Zhen left, He Xiong discussed with Huang Zicheng: "Those people during the day, until now, we are all in the light, and the other party is in the dark, and our every move is known to the other party. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and I am ready to meet with their people once to find out the details of each other. ”

Huang Zicheng said: "There are many masters on the other side, if you go, we will only have Gui'er left around, and we will be empty." What if the opponent comes to attack at that time?"

He Xiong changed his previous appearance and said: "According to my guess, the other party does not fully know our reality at present, and I don't think they dare to make a rash move. It may be a risky move, but it's worth it. ”

Zhu Yunwen also felt reasonable, so he instructed Huang Gui to make a posture of loosening on the outside and tightening on the inside, and to ignore Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng at all times. One of these two is his father, and the other is the emperor's eldest grandson, and even though Huang Gui felt that the situation was serious, he was happy to accept the order.

He Xiong then wandered the streets every day, going out during the day and returning at night. There was no harvest for two days in a row. It wasn't until the third day that He Xiong came to wander the streets again. All over the restaurants went to sit for a while and drank to themselves. In the drinking room, an old man held a banner and wrote "Iron Mouth God Calculation" to He Xiong and said: "Mai Iron Mouth God counts, if you don't count it, don't have money, if you count it, please give five taels of silver." Then he looked at He Xiong and said, "This gentleman has a wide face, but he is actually rich and noble." How about not disliking it, and letting the little old man calculate a hexagram for you?"

He Xiong was also bored at this time, and it was not easy to mix the rivers and lakes. Then he said to the old man, "Well, since the gentleman said it so well, you can calculate it for me." ”

The old man looked at He Xiong and said in a moment: "Please give me eight characters." ”

He Xiong was thinking to himself in his heart, why no one looked for him for a few days. When he saw the old man again, he was instantly relieved, and said with a smile: "The eight characters are exempt, just look at my face." ”

The old man looked at it again, and shook his head and pinched his fingers to count, muttering to himself that he didn't know what he was reading. After that, he said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Mr. must have important things to do on this trip, but it backfired and he was in danger halfway." However, Mr. Rich and Deep, he will meet nobles. It's just ......." The old man pretended to be deep, but the rest of his eyes glanced at He Xiong.

He Xiong obviously knew the clue, so he took out a piece of silver from his bosom, threw it to the old man, and said, "All you have to do is tell me where your nobleman is." ”

When the old man saw the money, he smiled and said, "This is very good, Mr. can go out of this door and go east." ”

He Xiong ignored the old man and went out to the east. After about two teas, when he arrived at the door of a tavern, a small guy came to talk and asked, "Dare to ask Uncle He Xiong, Uncle He?" He Xiong looked at the little guy and nodded. The little guy said again: "If it's really Uncle He, since it's Uncle He, then please sit upstairs, there is an uncle to invite." After saying that, he made a gesture of please.

He Xiong followed the servant to the private room on the second floor of the tavern, and found that this private room was very simple, and the dress was very elegant, and he secretly wondered in his heart. Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from behind the screen and said: "Iron Arm Zhen Sanshan He Daxia is here, it's an honor." He Xiong looked at four people: the leader was a middle-aged man, with a modest physique, dressed as a businessman, and the other three turned out to be the three brothers of the Bao family in Shanxi. The man arched his hand and smiled: "In Xia Yuan Rong, I am fortunate to be able to meet He Daxia, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

He Xiong bowed his hand slightly, but did not answer, just looked at the three brothers of the Bao family and said: "Why are the three of you who don't know how to grow still here? The Bao family has really declined?

The three brothers of the Bao family all lowered their heads, ashamed. But Yuan Rong came out to relieve the siege and said: "I have always had dealings with the Bao family, and the three brothers are my Yuan's best friends. He Daxia is coming, how about we have a few drinks together?"

"Wine is free, although I, He Xiong, am a rough man, I am not a friend of everyone. He Xiong said casually: "Let's be straight, what did you mean by blocking our way the day before yesterday? Since I am here, let's spread this out." ”

Yuan Rong hurriedly said: "Okay, He Daxia is really fast-talking, then he will say it directly." You and I are going to Ningbo Mansion for a reason, everyone knows it. The lord of my family wants to cooperate with the heroes to obtain treasures and share glory and wealth. ”

He Xiong hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, since you have worked hard, you must also know who we are." Let's be honest, how much do I get if I work with you, and what about the people I'm traveling with?"

Yuan Rong still maintained a smile and said: "Find the treasure, my master and He Daxia will add five to each other, and divide it equally." For the people around the hero, if the hero is willing to share your own share with them, then with respect. If you don't want to, my lord can help you deal with it. Speaking of this, his face turned cold instantly, and he made a killing gesture on his neck with one palm.

He Xiong hurriedly got up, pretending to be worried, and said suddenly: "That's right, people die for money, birds die for food, who wants to live with money." I deeply agree with your hosts and am willing to cooperate. However, since this is cooperation, we should be honest with each other. You have seen me and know it, but I have not seen who your lord is. Please come out and let me know who I'm working with, which makes sense. ”

Yuan Rong coughed dryly, and said very calmly: "He Daxia's request is reasonable, and I agree with He Daxia's statement very much." It's just that my family master said that it is not suitable to meet before cooperation, and we will meet after cooperation. After all, the head of my family also admires He Daxia tightly. ”

He Xiong's face turned angry, and his tone began to be unfriendly, and said: "This is yours, I am sincere, but you are not sincere, how can this cooperation be established?"

A trace of panic flashed in Yuan Rong's eyes, and then he immediately calmed down and said, "No, my family master's surname is Fan." ”

The expression of this moment made He Xiong look in his eyes, and he probably understood it in his heart. Then he feigned anger and said: "In this case, the owner of your rice bucket is not sincere, then don't blame me for not cooperating." If we find a treasure, we will take it according to our ability. Leave. After all, the words are gone.

This scene made Yuan Rong's face blue with anger, and the three brothers of the Bao family were also indignant but did not dare to act. It's just that what He Xiong didn't expect was that behind the screen, a person wrapped in black crushed the cup in his hand in front of Yuan Hui, Dao Yan, and Qiu Lie.
