Chapter 190: A Chance Encounter
After running fifty miles with the soldiers, Lu Yunzhou returned to the manor, took a bath, changed his clothes, and went to Linzi with Shanrou.
In the evening, there was a dinner party at the Qi family, and as the host of the banquet and the advocate of the joint-stock system of the Qi family restaurant, Lu Yunzhou naturally had to go back early to prepare.
The two of them rode horses one by one, chasing each other and frolicking across the water bridge next to Wutai Palace, and were about to race horses on the riverside to see who would arrive at Linzi City first, when they heard a call from behind--
"Qi Gongzi, please stay!"
When Lu Yunzhou heard this unfamiliar voice, he turned his horse's head in surprise and looked back, but his eyes suddenly froze.
The man who stopped him was also on a horse, followed by two or three of his followers.
This man was dressed in fine clothes, looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, slender and long, very strong, dark-skinned, agile in his movements, with a kind of fierce and fierce momentum in his demeanor, his eyes were bright, and he had a horse's face, he was not handsome, but he had a masculine manhood and charm.
To Lu Yunzhou's surprise, this person was the Tu Xian he had seen at the gate of Xiao Yuetan's small courtyard a few days ago!
It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it doesn't take any effort to get it, Lu Yunzhou still wants to find this picture in the past few days, but he didn't expect to meet the other party today and take the initiative to send it to the door!
Don't...... Tu Xian's residence is in a noble manor near this Wutai Palace?
But I don't know what his purpose is to stop himself suddenly?
Tu first rode up with his entourage, and before he arrived, Lao Yuan turned over and dismounted in advance, handed over the reins of the horse to the retinue behind him, and strode over, his face seemed to be red with excitement.
Tu Xian let out a long laugh, and Lao Yuan greeted him with a fist: "The third son of the Qi family who proposed the Tuntian system in front of him?"
Lu Yunzhou secretly wondered in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, but he just happened to catch this guy, although the current situation made him a little confused, but it was exactly what he wanted.
Lu Yunzhou also turned over and dismounted, led the horse and hugged his fists in place: "I don't know what happened to my friend calling me to live down?"
Lu Yunzhou naturally had to pretend that he didn't know Tu Xian, so as not to arouse his suspicions, and it was also convenient to secretly test this person.
Shanrou, who was not far away, saw someone greeting Lu Yunzhou, so she also dismounted and walked over, standing beside Lu Yunzhou, looking at Tu Xian curiously.
Tu Xian strode up to Lu Yunzhou, his expression was extremely enthusiastic, and he first arched his hand: "Tu Xian, how fortunate is it, I can meet the long-cherished son of Qi Guoxian, Qi Gongzi, this girl, Tu Xian is polite!"
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Shanrou looked at Tu Xian suspiciously for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "You...... Was it Mr. Shaw's guest that day?"
That day, Lu Yunzhou, Shanrou and Zhongsun Xuanhua went to Xiao Yuetan's courtyard to visit Han Quan, and the three of them saw Xiao Yuetan at the door to send the picture out first, and it was hard for Shanrou to remember this stranger who had only met once.
Tu Xian seemed to be stunned, obviously didn't remember when he let Shanrou see it, thought about it, and said with a smile: "The girl has a really good memory, I did go to Yuetan to catch up, but I didn't see the girl!"
The three of Lu Yunzhou stood far away that day, and Tu Xian really didn't see them.
Lu Yunzhou said: "Look at the direction of Mr. Tu's travel, do you want to go to Linzi City?"
Tu Xian said: "That's right, I'm going to Linzi to meet friends!"
Lu Yunzhou proposed: "Since we are Mr. Xiao's friends, they can be regarded as good friends, and we have to go back to Linzi now, why don't we go together?"
Tu couldn't ask for it first, and happily agreed, the two of them each had ghosts, but they hit it off, but Shanrou was a little unhappy, and felt that Tu Xian disturbed her and Lu Yunzhou's two-person world.
However, although Shanrou has a brutal personality in private, she still knows the general situation in the face of strangers, and obediently follows Lu Yunzhou's side.
Several people got on their horses again and went to the direction of Jimen in the northwest of Linzi City.
On the way, Lu Yunzhou asked, "Listening to Mr. Tu's accent, it doesn't look like a native of Qi Country, right?"
Just chatting, Tu Xian naturally did not suspect that Lu Yunzhou was testing him, and replied with a smile: "It's not a secret, in Xia is a person from Puyang, who is defending the country, and came to Qi to do business, these days I heard that your mansion is going to hold a dinner, and invited many local businessmen to participate in this dinner, and I have admired your mansion for a long time, so I asked my friends in Linzi to ask for an invitation to your mansion dinner!"
Businessmen seek profits, and when they see this kind of banquet where businessmen gather, they will naturally smell business opportunities from it, and they will not let go of the opportunity to participate.
Lu Yunzhou was a little surprised, he didn't expect that even if he didn't meet with the picture first, he would meet this guy at the dinner party.
He already knew Tu Xian's identity, so naturally he wouldn't believe that Tu Xian was trying his best to sneak into the Qi family's dinner party just for business, this guy must be to find out the inside information of the dinner party, and go back to pass the information to Lu Buwei, the boss behind the scenes.
Lu Yunzhou was curious, who was Tu Xian's friend in Linzi, and had this person always had an unknown connection with the Qin State?
Thinking of it again, Tu Xian is very likely to live in a manor near Wutai Palace, and the owners of the manor over there are all nobles of Qi country, if there is no special relationship, it is impossible for Tu Xian to live in this kind of place, which has to make Lu Yunzhou vigilant in his heart.
However, with the current relationship between the two, it is inconvenient for Lu Yunzhou to test rashly, so as not to arouse Tuxian's suspicions.
But the force behind Tuxian, Lu Yunzhou must be found, a local force of Qi that has close ties with Lu Buwei, is really a very terrible hidden danger for Qi State!
The two chatted all the way into Linzi City, and Tu Xian said goodbye to Lu Yunzhou and prepared to go to meet friends.
"Qi Gongzi, please stay!"
"Mr. Tu, see you at dinner in this case!"
Watching Tu Xian and several of his entourages lead their horses and disappear into the crowd, Lu Yunzhou resisted the idea of immediately following them.
At this moment, in broad daylight, there are many people in Linzi who know themselves, but it is not suitable for this, if it arouses Tuxian's vigilance, it will be even more than worth the loss.
Shanrou pulled Lu Yunzhou's sleeve on the side, leaned over to Lu Yunzhou's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yu, I always have an intuition, there seems to be a problem with this picture, but I can't think of what the problem is." ”
Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but look at Shanrou with some surprise, thinking to himself, could this be a woman's intuition? This is too accurate, right?
Looking at Shanrou's cute appearance with her pouting lips and thinking hard, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you worrying about this?"
Shanrou tilted her head and glanced at Lu Yunzhou, thinking that it was the same, so she didn't think about it anymore, and pulled Lu Yunzhou's sleeve and kept dangling it!
"Bastard Qi Yu, you're going to a dinner party at night, and you can't accompany me anymore, right!"
"Ahh
