Chapter 22: The Covenant of the Hour
As soon as Yue Hang led a few people into the main hall, he immediately introduced a few people, and the first one to be introduced was the old man with beautiful hair, Xu Zhan Xu, and then the young man next to the old man.
Then he introduced Liu Zhenren's master and apprentice to the Xu family's father and son: "This is Liu Qingfeng and Liu Zhenren of the Hushan faction, and these two are Liu Zhenren's senior apprentices!"
Several people saluted, and finally turned to Ye Wen: "This is Mr. Ye Wenye, the head of the Shushan faction, who learned about Xu Gongzi this time, and specially rushed to help!"
Yue Hang's words were very beautiful, as if Ye Wen was a righteous person who drew his sword to help him when he saw injustice, but Ye Wen himself knew that he was just taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, and he had nothing to do with Gao Yi or anything. It's just that on such occasions, even if everyone knows it in their hearts, it is impossible to say it clearly.
clasped his fists in salute, and at the same time looked at the people he needed to protect in the following period.
This look at it, and my heart was amazed.
This Xu Xian is not clear, but this appearance is definitely worthy of the title of peerless beautiful man, of course, in Ye Wen's eyes, this Xu Xian is not only handsome and earth-shattering, but also a little too beautiful.
"A little makeup is a peerless beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people......"
In addition, the clothes in ancient times were very tightly wrapped, and it was impossible to distinguish from the figure, if Ye Wen hadn't known in advance that this was a man, I am afraid that he really thought that the daughter of a family was playing the trick of a man pretending to be a woman!
And he was looking at people, and the other party was also looking at him. Just looking at his face, Old Man Xu frowned slightly. As the saying goes, if you don't have a hair on your mouth, you can't do things firmly, although Yue Hang said that this young man is the head of the Shushan faction, but this person is too young, right?
Looking at his face, it seems that he is a few years younger than his youngest son Xu Xian, is his kung fu good?
As far as he knew, this martial art also got older and higher. Although it is not that there are no young masters, but even if there are, they are also elite disciples of some big families, and the Ye master in front of him is obviously not among them.
Compared with Old Man Xu's worries, Xu Xian seemed to be more interested in Ye Wen's identity, and after a few people met the ceremony, Xu Xian took the lead in asking: "The Shushan faction is also on the Book Mountain, why haven't you heard of it?"
Ye Wen replied with a smile: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it!"
When Old Man Xu heard this, he was even more worried, and he didn't understand why Yue Hang would find such a little-known young man with no background.
Fortunately, there is also a real person of Liu Qingfeng of the Hushan faction, and this Taoist priest of the fairy wind still gives him a sense of steadiness. In addition, he had also heard of the name of the Hushan faction, and knew that this was the number one faction on the boundary of Pingzhou, so he trusted its strength even more.
Therefore, then there was a very interesting phenomenon, Old Man Xu and Liu Zhenren kept talking, and Xu Xian pulled Ye Wen to chat.
"Where is the mountain gate of the Ye Sect Master?" Xu Xian seemed to be very interested in the sect with such a young person as the head of the sect, maybe he also wanted to take the time to take a look.
Ye Wen didn't understand where his sect was attractive, but it was always a good thing for someone to ask: "In a place close to the top of the mountain, it is inconvenient to go up!"
"Approaching the top of the mountain! Master Ye's master is really extraordinary, just looking at the place where the mountain gate is located, you can know the ambition of the ancestor of the Gui Sect!" Xu Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, if he just wanted to go and see it just now, then he was probably really planning to climb the Book Mountain and go to the Shushan Sect Mountain Gate to live for a while.
Without even waiting for Ye Wen to speak, this Xu Gongzi actually asked directly: "Will Master Ye go back to the mountain gate tonight?
"Xian'er, don't mess around!" As soon as Xu Xian's words came out, Old Man Xu was not happy at the moment.
Xu Xian was trembling when he was yelled at by his father, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he sat there honestly. Ye Wen, who saw the great contrast between before and after, was stunned.
"It seems that this well-known Xu Gongzi is not the dashing scribe I imagined, but like an honor student of my own era!"
This Xu Xian is obviously a flying surname, but he has become a talented man who only reads the books of sages and sages without hearing anything outside the window, and his father Old Man Xu's wrist is really admirable!
After a few small talks, Old Man Xu roughly listened to Yue Hang's plan for this southward trip, how many roads he had to walk during the period, how many thieves he might meet, and how he was going to deal with them.
And Ye Wen also listened to it for a while, and then he knew that Xu Xian went south to go to a academy in Jiangzhou to study hard, and then wait for the big exam the year after next and then enter Beijing to catch the exam.
It's just that I didn't expect such a fork to occur during the period, if he was not careful, maybe Xu Xian's life would be completely ruined, and Old Man Xu repeatedly asked Liu Zhenren to take more care of his son, and never let him have an accident.
Even Ye Wen, who was not eye-catching, asked for everything, at this time, the old man couldn't care about any nobodies or anything like that, he knew that whether his son could reach Jiangzhou smoothly or not depended on these few people here.
"Entrusted by people to be loyal to people, Old Man Xu can rest assured!"
Liu Zhenren originally only thought that he was an experienced apprentice this time, and he only needed to take care of one or two by the side, but now that he knew the details of the matter, he finally became serious. He was confident that with him by his side, those bandits didn't want to get even half a step closer to Xu Xian.
"If it is necessary, Lao Dao said that he must not kill on a large scale, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people!"
With Liu Qingfeng's assurance, Old Man Xu finally put his mind at ease and left with his son. It's just that before leaving, Xu Xian secretly said to Ye Wen: "Tonight, the West Gate City God Temple!"
Then, regardless of Ye Wen's strange face, he left with his father.
After the father and son of the Xu family left, Yue Hang immediately arranged a room for Liu Qingfeng's master and apprentice and Ye Wen, and then resigned to discuss the departure with his brothers.
And because Zhao Heng didn't look down on himself, Ye Wen didn't say more greetings to Liu Zhenren's master and apprentice, and after returning to the room arranged by Yue Hang for himself to meditate and practice the internal skills, he began to think about what Xu Xian's words meant.
"Why did you ask me to go to the City God Temple?"
After Ye Wen was puzzled, his mind began to think uncontrollably about the mess.
"Could it be that this Xu Gongzi has any special hobbies?" shuddered all over, shook his head, and threw this terrifying conjecture out of his mind.
"Or is this Xu Gongzi actually a sister Xu, who fell in love with me at first sight and wanted to elope?" But he soon threw this possibility out of his mind, because he remembered that Xu Xian had an Adam's apple in his throat, and it was definitely impossible for him to be a daughter.
After thinking about it, the time was coming soon, Ye Wen hesitated for a while and finally decided to take a look. Anyway, no matter what it is, only by asking it in person can he have an understanding, and cranky thinking here is not the solution.
"What are you afraid of, I'm a big man, and I still have martial arts! Are you afraid that he is a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens?"
