Chapter 60: The Gongsun Family
Mo Wentian and the three of them left the Northern Desert City and headed straight towards Runan City in the north. There are five or six hundred miles apart from the Northern Desert City and Runan City, and with the speed of the three of them, even if they are in a hurry, day and night, it will take at least ten days to come to Runan City.
Although the journey may not take a short time, Mo Wentian and his party also know that now they can only rush to Gusu's house as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Gusu Wuji really colludes with outsiders and attacks Gusu Xiao and the other elders in the family, it will be really dangerous.
After about seven or eight days of travel, the three of them came to a small city.
I saw that the city wall was impressively listed with the three big characters of "Zhongzhou City", the city wall was magnificent, as high as dozens of zhang, revealing the majesty of a burst of slaughter.
"Brother Mo Brother Jiang, there is a person in this Zhongzhou City that I must go to meet, since I have come here, I want to go and see him first, can you see it?" Gusu Changfeng looked at Mo Wentian and Jiang Feng, and said lightly.
Mo Wentian's brows furrowed: "But the most important thing for us now is to hurry, if we can't return to your Runan City in time, I'm afraid your father will be in some danger." ”
To tell the truth, since Mo Wentian regards Gusu Changfeng as his brother, then Gusu Changfeng's affairs are also his business. Now the Gusu family is surrounded by external enemies, and the interior is not very peaceful, so Mo Wentian only thinks about being able to return to the Gusu family with Gusu Changfeng as soon as possible, because now, their time is really running out!
Gusu Wuji's insidious and cunning wolf ambition may really be able to do something that will ruin his conscience, which is why Mo Wentian's trip is so hurried.
Gusu Changfeng smiled slightly: "Hehe, the person I'm talking about is not an ordinary person, the Gongsun family among the three families and five surnames, I don't know if you two have heard of it?"
Seeing Mo Wentian's dazed face, Jiang Feng glanced at him deeply, and said lightly: "I also heard my father talk about the Gongsun family back then, as one of the three inner gates, the Gongsun family's power is intertwined and unfathomable. And what makes them different from ordinary families is that the Gongsun family is a veritable medical family, and even the vast majority of the imperial doctors in the current dynasty are from the Gongsun family. ”
After a slight pause, Jiang Feng continued: "Although the Gongsun family is only the bottom family among the three inner sects, even if it is placed among the entire three sects and five surnames, not many people are willing to provoke them. Now in the martial arts, the person who can sit on the holy hand of the medical altar is definitely a member of the Gongsun family!"
Mo Wentian frowned, he didn't expect that there was still a Gongsun family with three inner gates in this Zhongzhou City.
"However, since the Gongsun family is as strong as you say, why are you huddled in this small Zhongzhou City?" Mo Wentian asked with an eyebrow.
Gusu Changfeng chuckled lightly and looked at Mo Wentian deeply: "Because, the tree is very popular!"
"The Gongsun family has such a high status in the martial arts, and the reason why they didn't find a prosperous big city to live in is actually because they understand the truth of the tree. Just by virtue of the medical skills that can live and die human flesh and bones, the entire Gongsun family has sat on the throne of one of the three inner gates, even if the vast majority of the Dao systems in today's martial arts respect the Gongsun family, but there are always some people with ill intentions? Hiding in this small Zhongzhou city can be regarded as a means of saving their lives!"
Mo Wentian nodded slowly: "Since this is the case, then the person in your mouth, I think it is still necessary to meet him!"
Since Gusu Changfeng said that he wanted to meet someone from the Gongsun family, of course Mo Wentian could see that this Gusu Changfeng must be more secure for his actions this time, so he would think about accumulating the strength of his side.
Jiang Feng didn't have any opinions, he wouldn't think about this kind of troublesome thing, anyway, didn't there be two guys around him, Mo Wentian and Gusu Changfeng? These two people, one is more shrewd than the other, Jiang Feng only knows that he will definitely not suffer a loss when he is with the two of them.
After half a ring, the three of them came to a quaint courtyard in the city.
I saw two guards standing in front of the mahogany gate of the courtyard, staring at the flow of people coming and going with solemn expressions.
The Gongsun family is located in the center of Zhongzhou City, with a radius of only about a few hundred zhang, but it is in such a small courtyard that the Gongsun family, one of the three inner gates, lives!
Gusu Changfeng walked in front, Mo Wentian and Jiang Feng followed closely behind him, and the three of them came straight to the gate of Gongsun's house.
"Please say goodbye, and say that the second son of the Gusu family came to visit the head of the Gongsun family according to his father's instructions!"
Gusu Changfeng respectfully saluted towards the mahogany gate.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the mahogany gate, and Mo Wentian could see at a glance that this person was extraordinary.
The internal force is profound, the momentum is majestic, and the strength is definitely around the third grade of the Mixed Yuan Realm! Mo Wentian looked at the man walking unhurriedly, and thought to himself.
I saw that the man slowly walked in front of Gusu Changfeng, and his majestic body slowly bent towards Gusu Changfeng, and Shi Li said: "The subordinate is the housekeeper of the Gongsun family, the second son, the head of the family has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Gusu Changfeng was surprised: "Could it be that the head of the Gongsun family still knows that I will come?"
The middle-aged housekeeper nodded, and said lightly: "The head of the family said that the second son, you will come to our Zhongzhou City in the next few days, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly, second son." ”
Gusu Changfeng only came back to his senses at this time, although he didn't know why the head of the Gongsun family expected him to come, but Gusu Changfeng knew that the Gongsun family would definitely not embarrass him!
He has this confidence! Because his father Gu Su Xiao and the head of the Gongsun family are good friends!
"Alright, please show us the way. Gusu Changfeng said with a smile.
The butler chuckled, but did not speak, but led the three of them into the courtyard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the three of them smelled an extremely strong medicinal fragrance, which made people feel refreshed and the fatigue on their bodies was swept away.
I saw that all kinds of elixirs were planted in a neat and orderly manner in the courtyard, including red, purple, white, and blue, all kinds of things.
Mo Wentian knew at a glance that the elixirs here were at least medium-grade, and most of them were top-grade elixirs, and they were all very pure.
Damn it! Is this the strength of the three sects in the house? As soon as I entered the door, I saw so many high-grade elixirs, and then I looked at the Taixuan Mountain, tsk, it was really more popular than people. Mo Wentian thought unkindly in his heart.
And even Gusu Changfeng was stunned by the scene in front of him. To be honest, this is also the first time he has come to this Gongsun family, although he has already prepared in his heart, but when these things really come into view, Gusu Changfeng obviously felt the terrible strength of the Gongsun family.
Since he dared to plant so many high-grade and medium-grade elixirs in the courtyard at will, he didn't care whether anyone would steal them and rob them, which was a symbol of the strength of the Gongsun family.
Isn't this nonsense! Who the fuck is idle and runs to the house of Gongsun, one of the three inner gates, to steal things, so don't you go to the toilet with a lantern and look for death!
When the housekeeper saw the demeanor of a few people, he didn't say anything, but cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, those three sons, let's go and meet the head of the family first, and after seeing the head of the house, it's not too late for a few people to appreciate it." ”
At this time, the three of them slowly came back to their senses, damn it, they were out of their minds for a moment just now, it's really embarrassing......
Gusu Changfeng touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said slowly: "That's okay!"
The three of them followed the steps of the housekeeper to a fresh and elegant small courtyard at the main hall, and saw the three big words "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" listed on the main entrance.
Presumably this is where the head of the Gongsun family lives, right? Gusu Changfeng thought to himself in his heart.
The housekeeper took the three of them into the Listening Rain Pavilion, walked across a winding wooden bridge, and came to the main hall.
The housekeeper took the lead and walked in and said to a middle-aged man lying on the rosewood mahogany Taishi chair in the main hall: "My lord, the second son of the Gusu family is here. ”
The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, and the decadence on his whole body was swept away, and instead of a kind of killing momentum.
Mo Wentian was shocked for a while, this person's strength is definitely not simple!
The middle-aged man warmly welcomed Mo Wentian and the three of them in, and everyone found a place to sit down, and the middle-aged man set his eyes on Gusu Changfeng: "Tsk, don't say it, you and your father were really carved out of the same mold when they were young!"
Gusu Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "Master Gongsun, the reason why I came to Gongsun's house this time is actually my father's instructions, saying that I will come to you when I encounter difficulties." ”
The middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he pretended to be angry and said: "I am a good friend with your father, you are called the head of the Gongsun family, you don't like to be angry, I still don't like it!
Gusu Changfeng smiled embarrassedly and said slowly, "Okay, Uncle Gongsun." ”
Gongsun Nanmu set his eyes on Mo Wentian and Jiang Feng, and the meaning was self-evident.
Mo Wentian and Jiang Feng, look at me, I look at you, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still reluctantly shouted: "Uncle Gongsun."
Gongsun Nanmu laughed heartily at this time, and said to Gusu Changfeng: "Changfeng, I have already known the purpose of your visit this time, and I thought that if you don't come in the next few days, I will send someone out to look for you." ”
Gusu Changfeng wondered, "Uncle Gongsun, do you know the purpose of my coming here?"
Gongsun Nanmu glanced at him deeply, and said lightly: "Your father has already told me before, presumably you came this time for your eldest brother, right?"
Gusu Changfeng nodded.
"Your father mentioned in the letter that your eldest brother wolf is ambitious and has ill intentions, colluding with the Jiang family in Wuxia Mountain, and wants to take down the forces in the family that oppose him in one fell swoop......"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Feng, who had been sitting next to him and didn't speak, spoke: "Uncle Gongsun, are you saying that the Jiang family is also involved in this matter?"
Gongsun Nanmu glanced at him in surprise, but still said slowly: "That's right, Gu Su Xiao mentioned in the letter that Changfeng and his eldest brother personally went to Wuxia Mountain Jiang's house some time ago, and I'm afraid he reached some kind of cooperation with that old guy Jiang Lie!"
Gusu Changfeng suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Gongsun, what should I do now? My father won't be in any danger, right?"
Gongsun Nanmu laughed: "Hehe, I still know that old thing Gusu Xiao, although your eldest brother colluded with outsiders and wanted to overthrow the entire Gusu family in one fell swoop, but your father definitely has the strength to stop it, and if it is really not good, it can be regarded as more than self-preservation." ”
"It's only a small Jiang family, and it can't make any big waves at all!"
Gongsun Nanmu's body suddenly exuded a burst of compelling momentum, which made several people present look frightened.
After a slight pause, Gongsun Nanmu continued: "Wait a minute, I'll let my son go with you to Runan City first, you young people are together, then we can talk, right?"
Seeing that Gusu Changfeng was about to say something, Gongsun Nanmu continued: "Changfeng, you don't have to worry, my son can be said to have inherited all the medical skills of our Gongsun family, even compared with those old guys in the family, the medical skills will definitely not fall behind! And his own strength is not low, he can definitely help you!"
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I'll send someone to get in touch with your father as soon as possible, and send some of the family elites to Runan City, and then I'll meet you directly." ”
Gusu Changfeng was completely relieved at this time, to be honest, the reason why he came to this Zhongzhou City this time was actually to move the rescue soldiers!
Just relying on the strength of him, Mo Wentian and Jiang Feng, no matter how strong he is, he has no confidence in his heart, after all, two fists are invincible to four hands, who knows if there are any masters in Gusu Wuji.
And at this moment, a figure walked straight in from outside the main hall.
I saw that this person was dressed in white, and he was born with a dignified and majestic appearance, and his body exuded an indescribable temperament, a bit like a little ruffian, a bit like a hero in the martial arts, and like those national doctors with excellent medical skills!
Gongsun Nanmu saw the person coming, and immediately laughed: "Hehe, look at it, it's time to speak." ”
The man walked up to Gongsun Nanmu and saluted respectfully, "Father." ”
"Okay, okay, you better hurry up and talk to a few of them, this time something happened to Gusu's house, you can clean up later, and follow Changfeng to Runan City." ”
"Yes!"
At this time, Gongsun Nanmu slowly stood up and walked out of the main hall.
Isn't this nonsense! If such an old guy is sitting here, how can they really let go of the young people? This is also a chance for them to get to know each other, isn't it?
Gusu Changfeng stood up, came to the front of the man, and clasped his hands into fists: "In Xiagusu Changfeng, the two over there, namely Mo Wentian and Jiang Feng, are good friends in Xia!"
Gusu Changfeng said, and introduced Mo Wentian and Jiang Feng to that person.
And Mo Wentian and Mo Wentian also stood up and clasped their fists towards the man as a sign of respect.
The man smiled slightly, and said lightly: "In Xia Gong Sun Kai, I have seen Brother Gusu, Brother Mo and Brother Jiang here!"
Gongsun Kai clenched his fists towards the three of them and said respectfully.
Mo Wentian laughed: "Forget it, let's not engage in all this red tape, let's be casual, otherwise how boring it will be?"
Mo Wentian's words immediately ushered in the approval of several people.
At this moment, Gongsun Kai swept his gaze from the three of them, and said lightly: "When we met for the first time, I didn't have anything good for everyone, this is a kind of medicinal wine that I have finally concocted these days, after drinking it, it can not only increase people's cultivation, but also make people refreshed and refreshed." ”
As he spoke, Gongsun Kai took out a small bottle of mutton fat and white jade from his arms.
Mo Wentian frowned, and said in confusion: "Brother Gongsun, you have such a small bottle, I'm afraid the wine in it is not enough for a few of us to stuff our teeth......"
The three of them were originally people who liked wine, and they had only heard about the strangeness of Gongsun Kai's medicinal wine, and they had been looking forward to it for a long time. But damn it, this kid actually took out a small bottle with a big fart from his arms, isn't this fooling?
Gongsun Kai smiled embarrassedly, and said apologetically: "That, I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to you just now." This kind of medicinal wine is made from dozens of high-grade elixirs, taking its essence, removing its dross, and then using secret methods to fix those spiritual energy, so that it is concentrated in such a small bottle. ”
"However, this medicinal wine is not just drunk directly, if you drink it directly, the aura in it can burst your belly. ”
Gusu Changfeng asked in surprise, "Then how do you drink it?"
Gongsun Kai said slowly: "Take out the best morning dew, and only put one drop in a bowl of morning dew!"
Seeing that the three of them still looked unconvinced, Gongsun Kai immediately turned around and walked out, and after half a ring, he walked in with a jar and a few porcelain bowls in his arms.
Gongsun Kai put the porcelain bowl on the table in front of him, and poured all the things in the jar into the porcelain bowl, and then took out the small bottle in his arms.
Mo Wentian and the three of them looked at Gongsun Kai with blank eyes, only to see that after this guy opened the small bottle of mutton fat and white jade, he slowly took out four drops of medicinal wine with internal force and put them into the four porcelain bowls in front of him.
The porcelain bowl was filled with the morning dew that had just been picked in the morning, and the originally colorless and transparent morning dew turned directly into milky white after a drop of medicinal wine was put into it, and there was a burst of wine fragrance.
