"Phantom Spear (4)" Chapter 63: Returning to Life
Last time, it was said: Guo Mofan and Xu Yuan came to the gate of the Zhaoxian Pavilion in the capital with black and white faces, but found that there was no guard guarding the door of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, Xu Yuan felt strange, and Mo Fan guessed that it must be because of the sudden heavy rain at night, Yan Kuo ordered the brothers to go back to the room to rest first. He used the lion's roar again, so that Yan Kuo could hear his own screaming and scolding. Yan Kuo didn't stop for a while, and hurriedly opened the door with the guards Li Jin and Shi Yi. Xu Yuan cursed a few words and was stopped by Yan Kuo, and the two then followed Yan Kuo to the front hall to discuss the matter.
Yan Kuo himself went to the upper seat first and ordered: "You two are your own brothers, so I don't have to be polite, I can sit at will." Xu Yuan's face was ugly, his tone was not good, and he said: "Hmph, cold face, do you still remember our two brothers in your heart?" Yan Kuo didn't look at Xu Yuan much, but just asked Guo Mofan: "What are the identities of the two people you brought just now?" Although Yan Kuo was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface, he just asked: "How do you know about the details of the Dead Earth Gate? It can't be some petty thieves on the side of the road, right?" Xu Yuan stood up and said sharply: "Cold face, don't underestimate people so much, those two guys and I and Brother Guo saw them come out of the Dead Gate with our own eyes, you said that this cold and rainy night, the people who came out of the Dead Gate are not aimed at our Recruitment Hall, will they still do something to steal chickens and touch dogs?" Yan Kuo was speechless for a while, but he was happy in his heart, he felt that after Xu Yuan had this experience, he had made a little progress, a bit like a clerk. Guo Mo Fan also said: "Yes, Deputy Pavilion Master Yan, these two people are indeed the fine works of the Dead Earth Gate, and I was also on the side at the time, so I can testify." Yan Kuo stretched out his right hand, signaling that he already knew, and let the two of them sit down first, he paused, and then said slowly: "What can you ask from their mouths?" Besides, Mo Fan and Xu Yuan shook their heads in unison, Yan Kuo frowned slightly, and said: "In this way, however, you are also doing the right thing, if you ask outside, I am afraid that you will not be able to ask any words, and if you knock them out and bring them back to our Recruitment Hall, it will be different." Guo Mofan immediately said: "Yes, Deputy Pavilion Master Yan, Brother Xu Yuan and I have returned to you." Yan Kuo nodded with satisfaction, and Xu Yuan said: "How about it, cold face, now you can't look down on me, you can't say that I'm a child, I'm a person who can do great things, you really looked down on me before." ”
Although Yan Kuo was satisfied with Xu Yuan's actions this time, he didn't have any praise for him in his mouth, he just said coldly: "Hmph, this is just a small errand, it's your business, if you can't even do such a small thing, how can you make Pavilion Master Jiang and I feel at ease with you when the duel is dueling in the future?" Xu Yuan twisted his neck and said, "Cut, Jiang Feng has always been very relieved of me, it's you, every time I want to do something, you don't agree, I'm angry." Yan Kuo smiled slightly, just such a moment, Xu Yuan naturally didn't see it, but Mo Fan saw it in his eyes, he saw this scene, and he also knew that Yan Kuo was very satisfied with their actions tonight.
Yan Kuo asked: "Okay, Xu Yuan, I don't want to attack you either, just tell me about this operation, how did you implement it?" Xu Yuan looked his face to the side, he didn't seem to want to answer, Yan Kuo suddenly slapped the table, and said angrily: "Don't deliberately pretend to be silent for me, say it quickly, I want to tell Lord Lu about this, but he is going back to report to the emperor, in case the emperor is held accountable, how do you let me explain?" Xu Yuan let out a sigh of relief, and had to say: " Okay, if you are ruthless, every time you know that you will take out the emperor to press me, hum. Guo Mo Fan also snickered on the side, and said in his heart: Alas, only Deputy Pavilion Master Yan can subdue Brother Xu Yuan, but on the other hand, only Brother Xu Yuan can make Deputy Pavilion Master Yan open the net.
Xu Yuan thought about it carefully and said slowly: "Before, Brother Guo and I explored the terrain around the Death Gate for a morning, but the surroundings were all respectful of the Death Gate, and they were all afraid of the Death Gate on weekdays, not to mention that after the Death Gate and the Zhaoxian Hall officially fell out, there were more patrols around the Death Gate, and Brother Guo and I couldn't get close at all. Yan Kuo saw him pause, so he asked, "What about after that?" Xu Yuan took a breath and said, "After that, I kept changing our outfits with Brother Guo, asking questions about the east and west, and only then did I ask some things about the Dead Land Gate." The next day, Brother Guo and I have been paying attention to his every move, during this period the Wan father and son have never been out of the door of death half a step, we are also very anxious, who expected that the dark clouds shrouded at dusk, and it actually rained heavily tonight. When Brother Guo and I were eating at the inn, we were very depressed, but this rain came in time, and Brother Guo and I sat down on the roof of the inn, monitoring every move of the Dead Gate, we felt that the Dead Gate would not let go of the opportunity to send out this cold night rain, and we had been waiting for it over there, who expected that we were really waiting. Yan Kuo nodded, put down the teacup, and said sharply: "Xu Yuan, I really didn't expect that you still have a bit of brains, it's not that you are brave and resourceful." Xu Yuan shook his head and said, "It's rare to hear you praise me, but these things are not my thoughts alone, it is the eldest brother who came up with the idea, and I and him will implement it again, which can be regarded as a bit of luck." Yan Kuo waved his hand and said, "No matter what, it's been hard these days. Guo Mofan laughed apologetically and said: "No, we are part of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and it is right to do these things, not to mention that Brother Xu Yuan and I have made mistakes before, which can be regarded as making up for the merits." ”
Yan Kuo remembered that Kuan Mofan and Xu Yuan were fighting privately in the inn, although it still made him a little unhappy, but the past is the past after all, and he is not a person who has always minded, he said with a straight face: "Forget those things, you have made a mistake, you have a credit, I will report this mission to the court, and record a great merit for the two of you." ”
When Xu Yuan heard this, he was also very curious, and said: "Heh, cold face, you are also very strange, such a big merit, why don't you do it yourself, but give us this credit, aren't you afraid that when I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds in the future, I will be a bigger official than you, and when the time comes, I will call you around and command?" Yan Kuo didn't look at him directly, he just said in a low voice: "Those are your affairs, I can't control it." Besides, when these explorations are made, it is safe for you to do it, the Jiang Pavilion Master went to Henan to invite people, and the Zhaoxian Pavilion cannot be left without one to preside over the overall situation for a day, and I can't leave half a step before the Jiang Pavilion Master returns. "Guo Mofan is so serious and responsible for Yan Kuo, and he secretly admires it in his heart. Xu Yuan didn't care, and continued: "You haven't answered my question just now, this is not my business alone, this has something to do with you, aren't you afraid that I will command you to shine my shoes in the future?" Yan Kuo glared at Xu Yuan fiercely, and said sharply: "Haven't you heard the saying that no official is lighter?" The position of the deputy owner of the Beijing Zhaoxian Pavilion is to realize a little bit of courage in my heart, but after the things are done here, I have no nostalgia for the officialdom, and when the time comes, I will hang up all the rewards that the emperor has given me, and continue to wander the life of the rivers and lakes is what I yearn for, so you can continue to be a big official in the capital, and I have nothing to do with it. Xu Yuan looked at Yan Kuo in surprise and said: "I really didn't expect it, cold face, you can still have such a high consciousness, I admire you very much, ha, when you leave, don't forget to call me, I will wander the rivers and lakes with you, and then I can compete with you every day, and I will defeat you sooner or later." Xu Yuan said such a nice thing, but Yan Kuo didn't seem to appreciate it, he just said coldly: "There are still many things to be done here, do what you should do now." Okay, tonight, the two of you have also worked hard, both of you go back to the room to rest first!" Guo Mofan also felt a little tired, he got up, bowed his hand, and said: "Deputy Pavilion Master Yan, then I will go back to the room to rest first, and see you in the martial arts arena tomorrow." Xu Yuan also bowed his hand slightly and followed Guo Mofan away.
Yan Kuo was also very comforted when he saw the two of them leaving: Finally, someone can share a little for me and Jiang Feng......
