Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Caravan
After the conversation, Qu Mingde spent a few days in the Zhuangzi as plain as water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Early this morning, Qu Mingde packed his bags early, because according to the agreement, they should leave for Pengcheng today to investigate what happened to Yiyu Guanyingxi.
"Virtuous nephew, Wen'er, you go to Pengcheng, be careful. Zuo Jianzhang personally sent the two of them to the door and instructed before parting.
In the face of his instructions, the two naturally had only the only way to say.
After finally setting off and riding to the official road, Qu Mingde looked at the only two people on the road, he and Zuo Chengwen, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Qu, although I haven't deliberately inquired these days, I can also see that the arrangement of Mr. Guan's dart head is very important to you." In that case, why didn't my uncle send some experts over to investigate, but handed it over to the two of us?"
This is indeed a place worth wondering, because it stands to reason that with the realm of the two of them, they can only be said to be the best among the younger generation - it is still the boundary of Jiangzhou. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like being able to take on such a big event independently.
If you're not careful, it's a head-scratching trick.
Zuo Chengwen glanced at Qu Mingde and said, "I don't know this very well. But my father always had his own reasons for doing this. What's more, in Pengcheng, something really happened, and it wasn't our turn to come out. ”
Qu Mingde thought that in Zuo Chengwen's words, only the latter sentence was reliable.
Now that he knew that the other party had another man in the city, Qu Mingde was relieved. Then, he put his mind on the Jiangzhou Huiwu that was about to begin.
Jiangzhou Huiwu, I don't know when it began to be handed down, in short, a long, long time ago, people have regarded him as a good way to quickly become famous.
If a young man can have a brilliant performance in the martial arts, then there is no doubt that he will be famous in Jiangzhou in the near future.
If I remember correctly, the former Zuo Jianzhang seems to have participated in this grand event when he was young. And, in that year, he overwhelmed the heroes and won the first place in the martial arts.
Qu Mingde's thought that he couldn't stop the car.
Because he also thought that on the most famous martial arts event in Jiangzhou, all sects and factions in Jiangzhou would send their elite disciples to participate. First, it is to let the disciples have more knowledge, and second, of course, it is also to promote the reputation of their own sect.
So, Qin Xu, a somewhat eccentric old acquaintance, will also go to the meeting on behalf of Chijimen?
And the Qingyunmen, who has only been out of the country for a long time, but it seems very distant in recall at this moment, will they also go to Pengcheng?
"Brother Qu?"
Just when Qu Mingde was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Zuo Chengwen beckoning him.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted. Qu Mingde said.
Regarding Qu Mingde's sudden distraction, Zuo Chengwen was noncommittal. He said to Qu Mingde: "Brother Qu, look, these people, did we meet them a few days ago?"
Qu Mingde followed Zuo Chengwen's guidance and looked over, and carefully recalled for a while before remembering that when they returned from Huiyang, they had indeed seen these people in front of the restaurant.
But at the beginning, people were on the horse, and the scene in the restaurant was just a quick glance, and now Zuo Chengwen talks about this, what does it mean?
Seeing Qu Mingde's doubts, Zuo Chengwen said: "I know them, they are the most famous businessmen in Jiangzhou. Although he is just an ordinary person, he has traveled south and north over the years and has seen a wide range of things. We rushed to Pengcheng all the way, and it was still early, so it was better to join them and listen to the old man tell stories, which was also a good pastime. ”
"They're businessmen, would they be willing to take a stranger on the road so hastily?"
"Haha, Brother Qu, you underestimate me too much, for them, I am not a stranger. ”
Zuo Chengwen smiled, leaned over and grabbed a weed growing on the side of the road, brushed off the blades of grass in three or two, then put the rhizome in his mouth and chewed it slowly. It looks like there is something very delicious in this grass stem.
After holding this grass stem, Zuo Chengwen's whole person suddenly had three more points of cynical laziness, and then, he rode his horse and ran for a while, rushed to the side of the merchant they were discussing just now, and said a few words. Immediately afterwards, he beckoned Qu Mingde, who was left behind, to go up.
"Hello old man!" Qu Mingde dismounted and said to the old man.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this young man really tormented me. The old man saw Qu Mingde's appearance and hurriedly said. At the same time, he drove a middle-aged man beside him: "Little stone, don't hurry up and give this young man a place." ”
Zuo Chengwen was already familiar with his horse at this time, and then jumped on it by himself. Moreover, he still did the same thing as Qu Mingde.
It seems that as Zuo Chengwen said just now, he is indeed not a stranger to this old man and this middle-aged man who is called Xiaoshi.
However, at this moment, Qu Mingde's greater interest is actually placed on the middle-aged man. Because his name, Xiao Shi, is the same as the little junior brother who Qu Mingde was closest to in Qingyunmen. Although it is said that at least two or three people out of ten people have come into contact with the name of Xiaoshi's rotten street, this does not prevent Qu Mingde from feeling kind to him.
This middle-aged man also looks like he has been trained for a long time, but he obviously respects this old man quite a lot, so after the other party gave orders, he did it one by one.
"Third uncle, should we tell the guys to stop and rest for a while before continuing on their way?" asked the middle-aged little stone to the old man.
The old man glanced at the time, then glanced at Zuo Chengwen and Qu Mingde as if asking, and only after getting an indifferent answer did he say, "Okay, tell the guys to rest for a while." By the way, bring the jerky and my wine, it's rare to see the eldest prince and ...... today."
Speaking of this, he was stuck, because Qu Mingde had not yet announced his name and surname.
"In the lower Qu Mingde. Seeing that the old man was stuck, Qu Mingde said very understandingly.
"Oh, oh. It's the old man who is rude. The old man said, "Little Stone, you go and bring my wine, and today I will entertain the two sons." ”
"I see, Third Uncle. The middle-aged little stone said, jumped out of the car, and then began to beckon his subordinates to work.
Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen sat in the car and talked with the old man.
