Chapter 22: Arrival
It's past one o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Huxing was alone, standing in the lobby of the terminal building, quietly waiting for the arrival of the flight, the flight had been delayed for more than two hours, and the surroundings were deserted, even the security guards on duty began to yawn, but he was not impatient at all, and still stood straight.
More than ten minutes later, when the last flight arrived, the sparse number of passengers slowly walked out of the terminal, and in the crowd, a man in his thirties was particularly eye-catching.
This man is seven feet tall, his face is red, he is wearing a black leather coat, wearing a pair of sunglasses, he walks with a dragon and a tiger step, he is unusually majestic, and his spirit is like a general returning from victory.
When Zhao Huxing saw this person, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted him in a proper manner, ignoring the strange eyes of the surrounding passengers, he gave a deep salute and said in a deep voice: "The subordinate Chang'an garrison envoy Zhao Huxing will see His Royal Highness Ao Lie!"
Ao Lie waved his hand and said, "We don't have so much courtesy, let's find a place to eat first, I'm hungry." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, please come with me. Zhao Huxing lowered his head and said.
Zhao Huxing led the way in front, and the two walked out of the waiting hall together, two brand-new Rolls-Royce Phantoms were already waiting outside the terminal, Zhao Huxing picked a car, personally acted as the driver, and asked Ao Lie to sit down, while the others sat in another car.
The two cars drove out of Chang'an International Airport one after the other.
"Your Highness, I don't know what you have to do in Chang'an Mansion this time, and what do you need your subordinates to do?" Zhao Huxing asked while driving.
"It's not a big deal, the old men in the palace can't see that I'm idle, so they have to arrange an errand for me, so that I can see how the garrison envoys are doing. ”
"The subordinates do their best, and they dare not slack off!"
"You've always been serious, I know that, not like this guy. Saying this, Ao Lie took out a one-inch square brass seal from his pocket, and above the seal, the head of a goat was engraved, lifelike, and said with a cold snort: "A few days ago, I passed by Xuzhou and found that Yang Kang, this kid, was deceived and disposed of. ”
"Did His Highness beat him back to his original body?" Zhao Huxing asked after a moment of silence.
"Originally, I wanted to beat him back to his original body, but I didn't expect this kid to tell me that he was a subordinate of the seventh brother, and asked me to save some face for the seventh brother!
"His Royal Highness enforces the law strictly, and his subordinates have always admired him. ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's change the topic, did there be a kid named Pang Xie from the Chang'an branch a few days ago? Do you know him? How is this kid?" asked Ao Lie.
"Does Your Highness also know about this person?" Zhao Huxing's body was shocked, and he said carefully: "I also noticed it a few days ago, and I also tested him once, it seems that he is just an ordinary martial artist. ”
If it were an ordinary person, that guy wouldn't have let me pay special attention. Ao Lie shook his head, not agreeing with Zhao Huxing's statement.
"The subordinates are clumsy. After saying this, Zhao Huxing fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
"There is another thing, recently Quanzhen Yimai is talking about cooperation with our palace, planning to hold a training camp in Zhongnan Mountain, select a group of people, enrich the team, you also look for it, see if there are any good seedlings, by the way, that Pang Xie can be counted as one, go back and report it, pull it to the training camp and take a look." ”
While speaking, two cars drove past the Chang'an branch of Donghai Airlines.
......
Unbeknownst to the two men in the car, just as they were talking about Pompei, they happened to be talking to someone who was passing by.
Pang Xie also just came back from Chang'an Mansion, and it was Wu Zhongjun who sent him back, that is, Li Tianhua's uncle, this is the second time that Wu Zhongjun has sent him home, perhaps because his medicine has helped Li Tianhua's condition a lot, compared with last time, Wu Zhongjun's attitude this time is obviously much more enthusiastic.
Pang Xie treated Li Tianhua, although Li Tianhua did not say it, Li Yueya would not keep it secret, as long as Wu Zhongjun had a heart, it was easy to know about it.
As for why Wu Zhongjun sent him back, this has to start with Pang Xie's experience this afternoon.
This afternoon, Pang Xie and Qin Qiming went to Zhang Fatzi's house for dinner, Zhang Fatzi already likes food, and has excellent cooking skills, even the slightest thing is not eye-catching, and the banquet Pang Xie and Qin Qiming are naturally good things.
It's just that although things are good, Pang Xie can't be blessed.
When the three of them came to Zhang Fatzi's house, Zhang Fatzi's daughter-in-law had already prepared everything, and a big table was piled up, Qin Qiming entered the house and smiled, while Pang Xie only glanced at it, and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Fatzi's face was colorful, pointed to a table of dishes, and said loudly: "Autumn is high and cool, chrysanthemum crab fat, it is a good time to eat crabs, I got a lot of crabs a few days ago, and I was reluctant to eat alone, so I made a hundred crab feast, please share it with the two of you, it's interesting enough, right?"
"Interesting, interesting!" Qin Qiming laughed, although he was from Chang'an, he had already gone to the coast to make a living when he was a teenager, where he was used to eating crabs, and he liked this taste the most.
Pang Xie was speechless, he was originally a crab in the East China Sea who opened his mind and turned into a human, although he has been reborn, but after all, he was born in a crab, how can he be able to get a mouth?
At the moment, I can only use the excuse of being allergic to crabs, and I resolutely refuse to speak.
Seeing that Pang Xie resolutely didn't eat, Zhang Fatzi shouted pity repeatedly, feeling that Pang Xie was really unlucky, he couldn't eat such a delicious thing, but he couldn't force it, so he went to the kitchen to fry two more dishes for Pang Xie.
The three of them drank together, two of them ate crabs, one ate vegetables, supplemented by rice wine, and they were happy, but Pang Xie showed embarrassment from time to time, so that Zhang Fatzi was puzzled, and the three of them ate for more than two hours, and they were full of wine and food, and they dispersed.
After leaving Zhang Fatzi's house, Pang Xie saw that the time was still early, thinking that since he had already come to Chang'an Mansion, he simply went to Li Tianhua's house to take a few more medicines, and he would have to run again on weekends in the province.
After arriving at Li Tianhua's house, the two exchanged a few words, chatted about the recent situation, and talked about Li Tianhua's condition, Pang Xie went to the kitchen to get busy, and was busy until more than twelve o'clock in the evening.
Before he could go out, Wu Zhongjun happened to finish a busy day of business and came to visit Li Tianhua, so he offered to send Pang Xie back to Donghai Airlines.
Pang Xie agreed.
......
When Pang Xie got out of the car, Wu Zhongjun looked down at his watch, it was half past one in the morning.
He didn't leave in a hurry, but took out a cigarette, lit it, took a hard puff, leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the cigarette burn slowly, as if he was recuperating his spirits, and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a cigarette was lit, Wu Zhongjun started the car again and drove south along the Ring Expressway.
To the south of Chang'an Mansion is the Qinling Mountains, that is, the dividing line between the north and south of China, the Qinling Mountains are very large, among which the famous mountains are Zhongnan, Taibai and so on.
There are seventy-two valleys in the mountains, the so-called "valley" is the meaning of the valley, in fact, there are many Qinling mountain ranges, and there are more than seventy-two valleys, and the seventy-two valleys mentioned here are just the most famous ones, including Taiyi, Taiping, Taigong and so on.
At this moment, what Wu Zhongjun drove to was an unnamed valley, which also led to a road, but it was not a big road, it was a cement road that only allowed one car to pass.
Along this road, all the way forward, drove for more than half an hour, and finally drove to the end, and further on, it was all mountain roads, and the car could no longer drive.
Wu Zhongjun stopped the car and looked down at his watch, at this time, more than two hours had passed since he and Pang Xie were separated.
In late autumn, the frost gradually condenses in the mountains, and at more than three o'clock in the morning, the temperature has dropped to about zero degrees, and it is about to freeze.
Ignoring the severe cold in the mountains, Wu Zhongjun turned over and got out of the car, locked the car door, wrapped his clothes tightly, and strode along the mountain road to the depths of the valley.
The sky is high and the moon is small, the night wind is like a knife, on both sides of the mountain road, the dead trees stand, the fallen leaves fall with the wind in the gurgling mountain spring, with the spring water drifting all the way, there are some deceased such as Sifu meaning, whoever takes a look, there are three points of loneliness welling up in the heart.
Wu Zhongjun walked along the mountain road for more than half an hour, around a mountain bend, a Taoist temple suddenly appeared in front of him, white wall Lanwa, vermilion lacquer gate, a wooden plaque was hung on the door, written "Xuan Youguan" three words, although the area is not large, but very quiet, seeing this Taoist temple, he took a slight breath, and the serious expression on his face gradually relaxed.
