Chapter 35: Maps and Keys

The middle-aged man approached, looked at Xiao Han and said, "Are you going to Jinling?" Xiao Han nodded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The middle-aged man looked at him and suddenly said, "I've seen you." Xiao Han was shocked, looked up at him, and recognized that this person turned out to be Chizhou Zhang Thorn Shi who asked to see Mrs. Huining in Baifu'an last time.

This person was born with a dignified appearance, a face like a crown of jade, and the demeanor of an official, but his eyes were dark and his heart was heavy. Xiao Han saw that it was an old man, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Lord Assassin Shi arrived, and there were many rudeness below, and I hope that the adults will not blame him." Everyone in the car was surprised to see him talking to an official through the window.

Zhang Tingshi lightly arched his hand and said: "This official Zhang Quanyue, dare to ask Brother Taigao's surname?" Xiao Han hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, in Xia Xiao Han, I have seen Lord Thorn Shi." Zhang Quanyue nodded slightly, looked at the people in the car, and turned back to Xiao Han and said: "I am fortunate to meet Brother Xiao here, I don't know if I can go to Chizhou with this official, so that I can do my best to be a landlord." ā€

Xiao Han said in his heart, Lao Tzu has a relationship with you? Lao Tzu has enough trouble now, where will he ask for trouble again. Thinking of this, Xiao Han smiled and said: "Lord Thorn Shi also saw it, I took my family to Jinling to visit relatives and friends, thank you Lord Thorn Shi for your kindness, I won't bother this time." ā€

Zhang Quanyue seemed to know that he was going to refuse, and frowned slightly: "It's not easy to do this, but this official has something in his hand, I think Brother Xiao should be interested." Xiao Han laughed and said, "Oh, how can there be something that Xiao Han is interested in in the hands of Lord Thorn Shi? ā€

Zhang Quanyue smiled: "Silver is not a problem, if I tell Brother Xiao, Gong ...... cough cough cough, Tianshan sent Miss Li, the apprentice of Ye senior, to ask me to hand over a thing to you, do you want to go or not?" Xiao Han was stunned, and said for a long time: "Are they also in Chizhou?" Zhang Quanyue coughed, shook his head and said: "The two masters and apprentices of Ye seniors have gone to the south. Xiao Han frowned and said, "So they are not in Jinling anymore?" Zhang Quanyue nodded and said, "That's natural." ā€

Xiao Han let out a long breath, since Li Yueying was not in Jinling, there was no need for him to go to her, thinking that she actually left something for herself, his heart warmed, and said: "Since this is the case, then it will be bothering." Zhang Quan nodded slightly, and immediately a personal soldier led the horse.

Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I don't know how to ride a horse." Zhang Quan was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay to take a car." The soldiers immediately summoned a carriage, which was larger than the one they were sitting on, and it was a three-horse carriage. Xiao Han thought for a while, ordered Tian Chengzhi and the three to come down, and told the original coachman to send Luo Beihong and the three to Jinling. They want to go to the Shaolin Temple, so they naturally have their own way.

Xiao Han said goodbye to Luo Beihong and the others, and Tu Yuxuan suddenly said: "He can't go, I won't leave if he leaves." "It's actually entangled with Xiao Han. Luo Duan and the others looked at each other, Duan Xiliu thought for a moment and said, "That's it, let's go with you, and then leave after finishing things, anyway, it's not in a hurry." ā€

Xiao Han couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to respond, and went back to the carriage and sat down, Zhang Quanyue's carriage was unseated, and he pulled it back again. Zhang Quanyue sat on a tall horse, followed behind their car, and all the relatives and soldiers hugged each other, which was very majestic and lively.

Xiao Han looked at Tu Yuxuan and said: "You can't kill me, even if I go to Shaolin Temple with you, I am a decent person, and Shaolin Temple can't do anything to me, why do you have to take me? If you just want to torture me, it's better to beat me up directly." If there is any other purpose, then I will not be with the head of the family. ā€

Duan Xiliu knew that Xiao Han was really angry, and said happily: "Miss Tu naturally has no other meaning, Xiao Zhang's door is outstanding, her writing is flying, wouldn't it be lively to talk and laugh along the way, if you blindly follow the two of me, you can't make a good come." Luo Beihong was silent in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tu Yuxuan didn't look at Xiao Han, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, so angry that Xiao Han's neck was red. Luo Beihong waved his hand at him lightly, signaling Xiao Han not to be angry. Hao Yufei wanted to sarcastically say a few words to her, but seeing that Xiao Han didn't speak, he leaned against Ye Zixuan and bit his ear with interest.

returned to Chizhou and entered the state office, Zhang Quanyue settled everyone down first, and then set up a reception banquet at noon, eating and drinking for half a day. In the afternoon, he led everyone to visit the back garden of the state government, Xiao Han improvised two poems singing plum blossoms, which were originally stolen from later generations, but Zhang Quanyue was stunned, and then ordered the scribe to copy it down, saying that it would be recited in the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that the sky was westward, it was another night banquet, everyone finished eating and drinking, and after the second watch, they naturally dispersed to rest. Zhang Quan asked Xiao Han to stay, and his own servant closed the door of the living room. Zhang Quanyue sat on one side, Xiao Han sat on the other side, and there was a table between the two.

Zhang Quanyue suddenly sighed and said, "Master Xiao is also a figure in the rivers and lakes?" Xiao Han nodded. Zhang Quan said: "If you can appear in Baifuan, you are naturally a martial arts figure." The conversation changed and said, "Do you know what happened to Master Huining last time?"

Xiao Han shook his head and said, "Lord Assassin Shi personally went out, there must be something important." Zhang Quanyue nodded and said: "This matter is very important, I should have told the lord of the country to know, but everything is rumored in the rivers and lakes, groundless, if the performance is not true, the loss of official affairs is small, and the consequences are unpredictable." ā€

Xiao Han heard him say so terrifying, and asked, "What is so terrible?" Zhang Quanyue sighed: "Brother Xiao is a figure in the rivers and lakes, have you ever heard that there is a general named Zhao Kuangyin in the Great Zhou on the other side of the Yangtze River?"

Xiao Han nodded heavily and said, "I've heard of it." Zhang Quanyue nodded and said: "It's good to know, this matter is a long story, to put it simply, Zhao Kuangyin has stationed a lot of spies in my Datang, in a vain attempt to harm me Jiangnan." The Zhao family was ambitious, and the news came from the Great Zhou Xizuo, saying that the Chai family was weak and that Zhao would replace Zhou. The official caught a big thief last month, but he sneaked into Jiangnan from the Great Zhou, found a map on him, and after torture, said that he was ordered to come to find the key. ā€

Speaking of the key, Xiao Han's heart moved, when he first joined the Jiuhua faction, he heard that a man in black had killed the Jiuhua faction, as if he was looking for some key, could it be that the rivers and lakes were also looking for this key? Xiao Han frowned tightly and pondered: "What does the map have to do with the key, what if you find the key? Where is the key hidden?"

He asked three questions in a row, and Zhang Quanyue smiled bitterly: "The thief was tortured but committed suicide by biting his tongue, and the official only got a broken map, as for the key, he naturally looked for it from the map, and when he found the key, he had a clue." Xiao Han nodded and said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, take a step and see a step." Zhang Quanyue nodded and said, "It should be like this." Xiao Han smiled and suddenly asked, "Master Zhang must have a purpose when he told me this, and he said it bluntly." ā€

Zhang Quanyue was embarrassed, and his face was slightly red: "The official originally thought that Master Huining knew about this, and you and Master Huining were more familiar, Gong...... Miss Li passed by here and praised you very much, so the official did not take the liberty of asking Brother Xiao not to shirk. ā€

Xiao Han heard that Li Yueying praised himself vigorously, and his heart was overjoyed, if it weren't for Zhang Quanyue's presence, he would laugh out loud, and suddenly remembered Mrs. Huining, and said, "So, what do you mean to go down to find the key?" Zhang Quanyue was overjoyed and said, "That's exactly what it means." ā€

Xiao Han thought for a moment and asked, "You are looking for the key, why did you go to Baifu Nunnery to find Mrs. Huining? Who is she?" As soon as these words came out, Zhang Quanyue's face changed.
