Chapter 103: Old Acquaintances

On the way, Helian Jun asked this young man named Zhao Xiaoyang with great interest to introduce the changes in Star City over the years, Zhao Xiaoyang touched the back of his head and said, "I didn't pay special attention to the changes that the immortal master said. It is in these years, since the new city lord took office, the rules inside and outside have changed a lot. For example, most of the merchants in this city have joined the Star City, except for some chambers of commerce that have huge industries on other islands, the rest of the small merchants have settled in our Star City. And this is all spontaneous by them, saying that they have taken a fancy to the policy of the city lord, and the taxes for settling here are much cheaper than those of outsiders. ”

After a pause, he thought for a while, and continued: "As for the rest, it doesn't seem to have changed, that is, we, the family members, used to only need to practice martial arts, and now there are a lot of literacy tasks, saying that it is to let the people in the city lord's mansion know how to read." I won't tell you the truth, we used to be peasant households outside the city who relied on the sky for food, and there were many children in the family, so where would we have the spare time to read and write? If it weren't for being favored by the city lord and entering the city lord's mansion as an errand boy, who would have thought that I, a farmer who has been farming for generations, would still know how to read and write like those old men!"

His words were full of gratitude to the new Hao City Lord, but he was a little strange, and said: "However, it is said that there are a lot of merchants living in the city now, and the places where the locals live have expanded a lot, but there is an ancient mansion in the south of the city, which has not been lived in for decades, and it is still surrounded by a wall, and the city lord does not let others use it, which is really strange." ”

Helianjun and Shoujing glanced at each other, and they appreciated this Hao Zhicheng's son, but they didn't expect that after twenty years, they could still keep the old Gu family's house, Hao Zhicheng and his son had a heart.

As they spoke, the group came to the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city, and it didn't look like much had changed from the outside, Helianjun and his party observed it with their spiritual sense, except for the small wooden building at the beginning, the rest of the places were as thin as the aura. Just the small wooden building where He Lianjun lived in seclusion at the beginning, the aura was much more than when he left, and it seemed that over the years, Hao Zhicheng and they had not thought of how to use this place.

Zhao Xiaoyang went in first to report, and Helianjun and his party were waiting outside, not in a hurry. Shou Jing laughed softly on the side: "Elder Helian, I don't know if there is any special feeling when you return to the City Lord's Mansion in this Star City?"

Helian Jun said: "You, you, you will make fun of me! If you want to talk about this feeling, when I couldn't leave, what I thought about the most was how beautiful the outside world was. But since I left here, I will often think of the grass and trees here, and even those old memories will often appear in my mind! After all, it is a place where I have lived for decades, and it is not so easy to forget. ”

Shouwang also nodded and said, "Senior brother, I don't know what you think, junior brother, I think that although the aura of our Star City is really thin, it is just unforgettable." Perhaps, this is what the palace master said, the taste of hometown. ”

Shou Jing smiled and didn't say anything, he still didn't love Star City so much, all that was left for him here was the memory of heavy labor and a childhood without food and clothing. "Perhaps, this is the estrangement. At the beginning, I was on two completely different levels from Elder Helian and Shouwang, if it weren't for the palace master's appreciation, maybe I would have died of exhaustion on the dock by now!" Although his love for Qin Guan is usually not too expressed, it is even deeper than that of some disciples from Sanqingguan, and the reason is naturally so.

While they were waiting, a group of merchants came to the other side, talking to each other and saying something in a frighteningly loud voice. However, Helian Jun frowned, sensing that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know where this problem came from.

The three Shen Da behind him also turned pale, and after exchanging some words, Shen Da sent a message to Helianjun: "Elder Helian, something is wrong with these people. ”

Helian Jun didn't look back: "You also found out?" But I checked it and didn't find anything obvious that made me feel uncomfortable, which is really strange. ”

Shen Da smiled: "Elder Helian, this is not much contact with the merchants! When the three of us brothers were still on errands in the caravan, the shopkeeper who followed them was a standard businessman, and his behavior was really familiar. Moreover, the daily contact is still such small businessmen, and the more we have seen, we have naturally developed a pair of eyes to distinguish businessmen. Although this group of people spoke and looked like standard businessmen, their eyes were rolling around, and at a glance they knew that they were not focusing on negotiations. And what they are talking about now is still such an important thing as the geometry of the purchase price, you know, this purchase price is the core secret of every businessman, and he will not easily tell others to prevent others from lowering the price with him. The brazenness of this group of people seems to be just a disguise. ”

Helian Jun said again: "Then who do you think these people are? Why did they come to the City Lord's Mansion disguised as merchants?"

Shen Da: "Elder Helian, you are embarrassed for me, it is already a coincidence that the three of us brothers can see that these businessmen are fake." How can we possibly know their purpose! As for who these people are......

He paused for a few breaths and said, "Looking at their wandering eyes, they are all concerned about the servants who are patrolling inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion, as if they have some intentions against the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, the right hand of these people has been groping around their waists, and they can see that they are hiding some kind of weapon, and these people may have come to spy on them. It is even possible that he is here for the city lord of this star city. ”

Helian Jun nodded secretly, this is similar to his guess, since he heard Shen Da say that these people are disguised businessmen, he has figured out the purpose of this group of people, although he will not be sure for a while, but the spirit and blood of these people are much stronger than ordinary people, and it can be seen that they are all people with martial arts. And disguised as a businessman, he came to this city lord's mansion, presumably not simply to spy on intelligence, otherwise it would be enough to come alone, and there would be no need for so many people to come together, there must be a great attempt. And this attempt is nothing more than what treasures are in the City Lord's Mansion, or directly the biggest controller in the City Lord's Mansion - the current City Lord.

Helian Jun asked everyone to stand still, and the right to see what kind of drama these people could play, with their group of people here, this group of ordinary warriors in the rivers and lakes will not be able to turn the sky.

Still thinking about it, Zhao Xiaoyang hurriedly ran out of the door, and just about to invite He Lianjun and his party in, he found that a large group of people came out of the door, led by Hao Zhicheng, who he hadn't seen for 20 years, and a tall young man.

Hao Zhicheng looked at Helianjun's father and son with tears in his eyes, and just wanted to say something, he heard Helianjun's voice in his ears: "Zhicheng, don't be polite." There are a lot of people here, and it's not a place to talk, so let's go in and talk about it. ”

Hao Zhicheng was stunned, he didn't know what Helianjun was still worried about on his own chassis, but after all, he was his old boss, and he still had to listen to what he said, so he respectfully took his son and welcomed Helianjun and his party in.

The group of businessmen who were still playing outside were a little dumbfounded, which was completely different from the drama they envisioned. These people had already handed the greeting note to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion also said that there were no important guests coming today, just to be able to entertain the leaders of the "Chamber of Commerce" who came from afar. But they had been at this city lord's mansion for a short time, and they were waiting for the city lord of this star city to come out to greet them, but they didn't expect to see the old city lord who hadn't seen anyone for a long time in the information and the current city lord come out to greet a group of plainly dressed young people.

Yes, young people. In their eyes, the group headed by Helian Jun did not look like a high-ranking person, neither a pot-bellied rich nor a businessman, nor did they look like they had prestige and status and needed the old city lord to come out with the current city lord to greet them. And the old city lord still looked excited and inexplicable, his eyes were full of tears, where is this the rigorous image mentioned in the intelligence, but it is like a reunion of old friends who have not seen him for a long time. But in this group of people, it seems that the oldest Tian Feng, Liu Minqing, Zhu Ming, and Li Weihui are only nearly fifty years old, and the white-haired Hao Zhicheng looks like two generations, even if they are old friends, they will not greet each other so generously. "Damn, there is no record of such a thing in the intelligence, but it's okay, we still have to act according to the plan, otherwise the task will not be completed, and our little life may not live next year!"

After taking Helianjun and his party to the small wooden building where Helianjun lived in seclusion, Hao Zhicheng dismissed the rest of the unrelated family servants, and only took his son to lead the group into the wooden building.

As soon as he entered the wooden building, Hao Zhicheng bowed to Helian Jun and said, "City Lord, it's really fortunate that your subordinates can still see you in their lifetime!"

Helian Jun also sighed with emotion: "Yes, when I followed my senior brother to the spiritual land to practice, how did I know that this walk would be twenty years! Zhicheng, you are getting old!"

Hao Zhicheng said enviously: "City Lord, this is natural, his subordinates are almost seventy this year, and they can be regarded as the people with the longest life span within a radius of a hundred miles!

Seeing that his father bowed down to Helian Jun, the current city lord Hao Tong also bowed down and saluted: "Hao Tong has seen Uncle Helian!" In fact, he was also struggling with how to call Helian Jun, if he called the city lord, but he just remembered that Helian Jun left not long ago, and he was not impressed, so he couldn't call the city lord. But it's quite appropriate to call him uncle, and it seems close.

Helian Jun laughed and said: "My eldest nephew is already a talent now! When I asked your father to get married early, he was still not happy, saying that if he didn't get rid of the disaster of Star City in one day, he would not get married one day. If I hadn't forced him to marry and have children quickly, I guess when I saw you again today, I don't know if you were a toddler or not!"

Hao Zhicheng blushed and said, "City Lord, what do you say to the child about such things, hahaha." It's the city lord, how long will you stay when you come back today?Why didn't Immortal Master Qin come back with you?"

After the group sat down, Helian Jun said: "Senior brother has too many things now, and our current place is not less than a million miles away from here, it will take a year just to come and go, and the sect can't do without senior brother, so let me wait to come." As for how long this stays, it depends on how well the mission is completed this time. ”

Hao Zhicheng hurriedly asked, "Mission?City Lord, do you have any other important tasks when you come back?"

He Lianjun nodded, pointed to Shen Da next to him and said, "This mission is in charge of this Elder Shen three brothers, I just followed over to take a look." After all, it's been 20 years since I left, and if I don't come back, I don't know if I will have a chance to see you and Wu Ke again. ”

Hao Zhicheng said sadly: "My subordinates are still thinking, if Lao Wu, that old guy, sees the city lord again, I don't know how happy he will be." Then, he told He Lianjun about Wu Qi's death from a terminal illness the year before last.

Helian Jun's face changed greatly, and Brother Jindan's momentum did not restrain all of a sudden, and he was released, destroying the table beside him. Shen Da, who was closest to him, saw that the situation was not good, and was afraid that Helianjun's aura would hurt Hao Zhicheng's father and son, who were ordinary people, so he hurriedly waved his hand to block the majestic breath, and waited until Helianjun's mood stabilized before he withdrew his hands.

With tears in his eyes, Helian Jun asked in a deep voice, "Where is Lao Wu's grave?"

Hao Zhicheng was still shocked how his old city lord had become so powerful in just twenty years, and he hadn't come back to his senses for a while, and waited until the son next to him shook his arm, he shook his head and said: "City lord, Lao Wu is buried in a vacant land next to the Gu family's old house, which happens to be quiet, I have planted a lot of bamboo over there, and I also live in seclusion there on weekdays, so I can be regarded as accompanying Lao Wu." Ay. ”

Helian Jun sighed, and just wanted him to take him to pay tribute to Wu Qi, when he suddenly thought of something, and asked, "You said that you are recuperating there on weekdays, so why do you want to return to the City Lord's Mansion today?

Hao Zhicheng replied puzzledly: "City Lord...... Today, there is a group of leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, saying that there is something important that needs to be discussed in the City Lord's Mansion. My son had never encountered anything like this, so he invited me back to check it. This....... Is there anything wrong with that?"

Helianjun's eyes were slightly cold, no wonder, the group of people outside might not only come for Hao Zhicheng's son Hao Tong, but also want to clean up Hao Zhicheng by the way.
