Jianghu are all masters

191.

Among so many people, Zhang Xiaoyuan was the only one who was curious about Lu Zhaoming's life experience.

Maybe it's because Lu Zhaoming is a story he can't see through, or maybe it's because the protagonist of this story is Lu Zhaoming.

Seeing the smile on Lu Zhaoming's lips, Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't know where his courage came from. He couldn't hold back and asked, "Brother, your father..."

After saying a few words, he felt that he was an outsider after all, and judging from the reactions of the elder brother and his uncle these days, the events of the elder brother in Beijing when he was young may not be a pleasant memory.

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed heavily, and changed his words: "Where is the General's Mansion? If we had gone there earlier, we might be able to come back in the afternoon!"

Lu Zhaoming took his hand.

"Not today." Lu Zhaoming said, "I'll go shopping with you first."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was slightly taken aback. He looked at Lu Zhaoming's eyebrows and eyes, as if a place in his heart had been poked lightly for no reason—he felt that this was not good, and this matter was related to the safety of the second senior brother. It's child's play, but in the same way, Zhang Xiaoyuan can't hold back the little joy in his heart, as if he always feels unspeakable joy in his heart when he realizes that he is being treated first.

But even so, he still cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Eldest brother, this matter is related to the second senior brother, so let's go to the general's mansion today."

However, Lu Zhaoming turned to look at She Shuyi, and said, "Uncle, I haven't seen General Wen for more than ten years, and suddenly appearing in the General's Mansion is really suspicious."

She Shuyi didn't think about this at all, he just thought that Lu Zhaoming would take his father's token to the General's Mansion, Wen Suyuan would naturally believe him, and it would be much easier to ask questions from Wen Suyuan, but he forgot. I haven't seen him in a year, so his appearance is so sudden, it may make Wen Suyuan suspicious.

She Shuyi asked him: "Then what are you going to do?"

Lu Zhaoming replied: "Hungry Ghost Festival will be in a few days, he will go to visit my father's grave after all."

It is better to meet again "accidentally" when going to the grave than to go to the general's mansion suddenly and hastily.

"After I go back, I'll talk to my elder brother to see if he can get some news from the palace first." She Shuyi couldn't help pursing her lips slightly after saying this, and showed a funny smile to Lu Zhaoming Meaning, said, "Then, I won't bother you any more."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was still startled, and asked: "Aren't Master Uncle going for a stroll together?"

She Shuyi didn't have time to speak, Lu Zhaoming had already said, "Uncle Shi won't come."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

"Zhaoming, if it's your master here today, he's afraid he'll start to feel sad again." She Shuyi sighed deeply, and said, "It's a good thing I'm different from your master, you go and play, I'm an old bone , I won’t follow you to dislike me.”

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Uncle Master is so young—"

Before he finished his sentence, Lu Zhaoming had already stood up. Just now Zhang Xiaoyuan held his hand under the table in order to make him cooperate with his nonsense. At this time, he was led to stand up, and Lu Zhaoming held him He turned around and said to She Shuyi: "We will be back before the curfew."

She Shuyi coughed, and took out a stack of bank notes from her sleeve, handed it to Lu Zhaoming, and said, "Don't be reluctant to spend money..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

This shot, let alone a few thousand taels...

It's nice to have money.

Lu Zhaoming was stunned for a moment, but still reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you, uncle."

He led Zhang Xiaoyuan out the door, She Shuyi was still in a good mood, just thinking how good it is to be young, the waiter of the restaurant suddenly knocked on the door from the outside, and brought out the dishes they ordered earlier.

She Shuyi looked at the table full of dishes, but he was the only one. He sighed deeply, held up a chopstick with his chopsticks, and sighed leisurely, as if he suddenly understood Wang Henian's feelings about his apprentice growing up.

……

Zhang Xiaoyuan still didn't understand what happened.

He was dragged out of the restaurant by Lu Zhaoming. Feeling inexplicably dazed, he walked a few steps and suddenly remembered that they had come here to meet Zhao Changyuan for dinner. Pu Yangjing has a lot of secrets that he doesn't know about, and he doesn't know what Lu Zhaoming wants to take him to do.

Zhang Xiaoyuan inevitably frowned and said, "Eldest brother, I'm hungry."

Seeing Lu Zhaoming's footsteps pause, he nodded slightly and said, "I know."

He looked around and wanted to buy candied haws again. The terrified Zhang Xiaoyuan hurriedly put his hands on him to stop him, but he frowned and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat candied haws when you first entered Beijing?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "...I don't want to now!"

Lu Zhaoming stopped and said in a low voice for a long time, "I don't understand."

He didn't elaborate on what he didn't understand, Zhang Xiaoyuan simply looked around, saw a noodle stall, and said bluntly: "I want to eat noodles."

Then, regardless of whether Lu Zhaoming would react or not, he directly took Lu Zhaoming's hand and walked over.

He wanted to sit on the outer seat, where the viewing angle was better, and he could see the pedestrians and horses outside, but Lu Zhaoming dragged him into the store, and he didn't seem to be satisfied until he sat on the innermost corner seat. Seeing Zhang Xiaoyuan Extremely puzzled, he said to Zhang Xiaoyuan in a low voice: "There are too many people outside, I want to tell you something..."

His tone was slightly hesitant. Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that what the elder brother wanted to talk about was his own life experience, so he nodded hurriedly, expressing that he didn't mind where he sat. The stories I heard were somewhat expected.

"My surname is Lu." Lu Zhaoming seemed to be thinking about his opening words, and after a while he said this sentence without thinking, "But I followed my mother's surname, and my father... surnamed Li."

Zhang Xiaoyuan blinked and nodded seriously.

"You should have heard his name." Lu Zhaoming said, "He—"

Suddenly a person stepped into the store, and the clerk greeted with a raised voice, overshadowing Lu Zhaoming's words.

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan subconsciously turned his head to look, and held back all the inquiries that he had almost spoken.

The new guest outside turned out to be Pei Junze.

……

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help blinking at Lu Zhaoming, wondering why Pei Junze was here.

Lu Zhaoming also frowned slightly, and Pei Jun was here, as if he didn't want to continue what he said just now.

Fortunately, the two of them sat close to each other, and there was a wooden frame on the side of the seat to cover them. If you don't look carefully, you probably won't notice them. Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed, and said to Lu Zhaoming in a low voice: "Brother, wait Let's go out and talk later."

Lu Zhaoming was poking the noodles in the bowl with his chopsticks, looking very unhappy. He paused for a moment, perhaps thinking that since their seats were in the back, even if he spoke, Mr. Pei might not be able to hear him, so he raised his hand again. At the beginning, he said to Zhang Xiaoyuan: "My father's name is Li Hanchuan, you should have heard of it."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was slightly taken aback, feeling that the name...was really familiar, he must have heard it somewhere.

But before he could think about it, the clerk outside shouted loudly again, as if another customer had come in, Zhang Xiaoyuan turned his head, and saw Xiao Mobai standing outside the door, and said to the clerk, "I have an appointment with someone." of."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Why is Xiao Mobai here? !

192.

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought seriously.

The connection between Pei Junze and Xiao Mobai should only be the secrets of the world.

Did the two of them meet for this reason?

He was very curious, and when he saw that Lu Zhaoming was already poking the noodles in the bowl with some resentment, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and looked away in embarrassment, not daring to stare at the two people outside.

But even if he didn't look at it, it would be difficult for him not to notice the loud voice of the shop assistant.

He heard the shop clerk shout loudly: "Wait for someone? Oh, he must be a friend of that young master!"

Xiao Mobai: "Thank you, I'll go and have a look myself."

Curiosity in my heart got the upper hand.

Zhang Xiaoyuan secretly turned his head and looked back.

He saw Xiao Mobai walking behind Pei Junze, cleared his throat, smiled, and asked, "You... but the Wulin League—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Xiao Mobai opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and asked in a sharp voice, "Why is it you!"

Pei Junze was also surprised: "Are you Cao Susu?!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan understood that these two people didn't know each other's real identity at all, but Pei Jun came to Beijing with Qi Chaoyun to meet Cao Susu by the way.

Zhang Xiaoyuan turned his head to look at Lu Zhaoming again, the noodles in Lu Zhaoming's bowl were all messed up by him, he was in a bad mood, if he didn't want to be discovered by two people outside, he might have dragged Zhang Xiaoyuan away long ago .

Zhang Xiaoyuan came back in a hurry, and seriously thought about where he had heard the name Li Hanchuan.

Hanchuan, Hanchuan...

Zhang Xiaoyuan paused slightly, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Lu Zhaoming.

"Li Hanchuan." Zhang Xiaoyuan said in a daze, "Lingshuangjian?"

Lu Zhaoming stirred the battered noodles in the bowl, and nodded sullenly.

Of course Zhang Xiaoyuan has heard of this name.

When he was young, he liked to listen to the stories of Jianghu, and the one his father told him most was Lingshuangjian, but in the stories, Zhang Gaoling always used the three characters of Lingshuangjian to replace Li Hanchuan's name, so when Zhang Xiaoyuan first heard these three characters, Still a little bit unable to recover.

In this Jianghu, I'm afraid there is no one who has never heard of the word "Lingshuangjian".

When Ling Shuangjian was still alive, the title of No. [-] in the Jianghu had nothing to do with Pei Wuluan or Wang Henian. He wandered in the Jianghu in his youth, and he had friends in both righteous and evil ways. When he was young, he washed his hands and married the county The daughter of the king, arrived at the border, but ten years later, when she returned to Beijing, she was already a world-renowned general.

He seems to be the kind of character written in legendary novels all his life, so that when Zhang Xiaoyuan heard Zhang Gaoling talk about Lingshuangjian when he was a child, he always felt that it was a story made up by his father to deceive him. He didn't believe that there was such a powerful person in the world. But now... the senior brother told Zhang Xiaoyuan that Li Hanchuan was his father.

Zhang Xiaoyuan covered his face and said in a low voice, "I...let me calm down."

After he finished speaking, the voice outside suddenly became louder.

"What half-heartedness!" Xiao Mobai shouted angrily, "Do you think I want this!"
