Aunt Shan didn't finish what she said. Smart people only spoke half of it, and they would all understand the rest.
"Then we have to ask Manager Shan to give the three of us a nice word!" The three of them looked happy and clasped their fists at the same time.
"As long as you support our young master wholeheartedly, I can guarantee that the young master will never give up on these talents!" Aunt Shan smiled and nodded. As long as these people are on the road, things will be easy to handle.
Ma Jinbao from Zhulong Hall said hesitantly: "If the young master has no intention of coming, even if the three of us go to invite him, he may not be willing to come."
Aunt Shan hurriedly replied: "That's what I said. However, since the helmsman of your branch has this intention, my old lady will rush back to ask the young master for instructions."
While speaking, he stood up from the big chair and reached out to pick up the crutches on the chair.
Lu Jing and the others also stood up in a hurry and said humbly: "Although the three of us cannot go with you, we still have to give the manager a ride."
Aunt Shan was inconvenient and refused, and nodded with a smile and said: "To be honest, my old lady is used to running around, and she has only gotten used to riding a horse in the past six months. Let's go, but don't send you too far. The so-called sending you a thousand miles will end in the end."
There is a difference."
Lu Jing and the others laughed and said, "At least they have to be sent to the dock."
So, escorted by three people from Lu Jing and Aunt Shan in front, they hurriedly walked out of the hotel. The horses had already been prepared and they started to mount.
Entering the street, the shops and pedestrians on both streets looked at Aunt Shan curiously and then turned elsewhere, but no one dared to stop and look directly.
After crossing the intersection, Aunt Shan saw the inn where Nangong Haotian, Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying were staying. Although she saw the entrance of the store, she could not get off her horse and enter directly, so she continued to ride towards the street entrance.
As soon as they came out of Beijiekou, they saw ships lined up on the pier, and the crowd was noisy. It seemed that everyone was busy. Aunt Shan hurriedly pulled over and stopped her horse and said, "Three hall masters, please come back. My old lady will be on her way here."
Lu Jing and the other three insisted: "The journey is still far, so what's the harm in giving me another ride?"
Aunt Shan hurriedly got off her horse and said: "The young master's residence still needs to be climbed over the mountainous area in front of us. Thank you all for your kindness. I will take my leave now."
Lu Jing and the other three also stood up and dismounted, and said: "In that case, please forgive me for sending it to me not far away. I hope Manager Shan can invite the young master to come, so that I can have the opportunity to see the young master's richness in person."
"My old lady will try her best to persuade the young master to come." Aunt Shan said quickly with a smile, and after finishing her words, she handed over her hands, said goodbye, then turned around and walked away striding away.
Aunt Shan followed the people along the coastal road and moved forward slowly. On one side was the green sea and on the other side were the green mountains and forests. Although the scenery was beautiful, she had no intention of browsing. But what troubled her most was that she had to pretend
Looking left and right, it shows that he is so content and leisurely.
She knew that Lu Jing and the others would still be standing at the street corner watching her. If they showed any abnormality, they would be suspicious, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
But in Aunt Shan's heart, she wished she could fly into the forest, change back into the old man's clothes, and slip into the forest while there was no one on the road.
Aunt Shan had been in the world for a long time and knew the changes and cunning in the world. She first carefully inspected the area around the forest and found nothing suspicious, then she started her Qinggong and flew back.
Ma Jinbao and Huang Yifu are both veterans of the martial arts world, and the lean and capable Lu Jing is the chief hall leader. The three of them are not simple people.
For the sake of caution, Aunt Shan was very careful when moving forward. She not only paid attention to whether there was anyone hiding in the tree, but also took a special look at the trunk of a big tree when she encountered it.
I was very lucky. As I moved forward, not only did I not encounter the patrol horse team on the southwest branch, but I also didn't see a single figure of ordinary people.
Aunt Shan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the grass where she had hidden her clothes. This place was particularly quiet, and she happily pushed the grass away.
When she pushed aside the grass and took a look, she couldn't help but exclaimed. Then her expression changed drastically, and Aunt Shan was shocked. The set of clothes she had hurriedly put into the grass was missing.
Aunt Shan turned around and looked around, guessing that the person who took away the clothes might still be hiding nearby.
However, the forest was silent, the cool breeze was blowing, and it was clear that there was no one within dozens of feet around.
Aunt Shan quickly calmed down and began to think about who had taken the clothes she had placed in the grass.
If it were an ordinary person, unless that person had seen her putting clothes into the grass at that time, it would not be easy to find that there was a set of clothes hidden here.
Besides, when I was changing my clothes, in order to avoid being seen by others, I also carefully paid attention to see if there was anyone nearby.
Now that the clothes are missing, it's definitely not someone who accidentally found them and took them away.
Now that her clothes have been lost, Aunt Shan is most anxious because she cannot immediately sneak back to the inn to inform Nangong Haotian and discuss the invitation to the blue-faced judge. Should they go or not?
It doesn't matter if you arrive a day or half a day late. What they are afraid of is that Nangong Haotian, Liu Qianwen, and Wei Xiaoying are impatient to wait for a long time. It is already dark, so they go to the Southwest Branch to spy and miss the great opportunity they have fought so hard for.
If Aunt Shan really wanted to rush back to the inn right away, or if the matter was too urgent, she would have gone straight into the mountains and found a woodcutter or hunter to force them to take off their clothes and put them on.
But it was different now. After following Nangong Haotian, she made up her mind never to do such a thing again.
However, the current predicament made Aunt Shan anxious. If she waited until dark in such a mood, it would really be like a year.
Looking back, Aunt Shan became more alarmed. It seemed that Judge Wuqing and others had already known her whereabouts, but they just didn't know which inn Nangong Haotian and Liu Qianwen were staying in.
According to common sense, if they really wanted to welcome Nangong Haotian to the main branch, they should resolutely go with her Aunt Shan to show their sincerity.
However, they did not do that and allowed themselves to make up random excuses. Obviously, they already knew that it was not true.
After that, they sent them to Beijiekou, and allowed her aunt Shan to refuse them to continue seeing her off. They only sent them to the intersection. That was because they knew that her aunt Shan had to go back to the woods to change into the old man's clothes.
clothing.
After thinking about this, Aunt Shan was shocked, angry and annoyed. She had been too careless. Now, she had to leave this place as soon as possible, or try to sneak back to the inn, or go back after dark.
Aunt Shan knew that although there were no hidden stakes of the Ruthless Judges lurking nearby, there must be people watching at the necessary places leading to the street.
With this in mind, she turned around and ran towards the depths of the mountain.
This mountain forest is very vast. Aunt Shan climbed over two horizontal ridges and walked around a peak before reaching a green valley.
Aunt Shan stayed away from the streets and went deep into the mountains. Her purpose was to escape from the ruthless judge's hidden surveillance and then take a circuitous route back to the store.
What Aunt Shan didn't expect was that in the northern corner of the green valley, there were hundreds of bamboo trees and two thatched huts. Smoke was rising from the cooking pots, and the scenery was like a painting, so carefree.
When Aunt Shan saw the smoke, she realized that although it was past noon, she had not had lunch yet. Fortunately, she had eaten a lot of refreshments in Southwest Helm, so she was not very hungry now.
"If you are hungry, you have to buy something to eat!" Aunt Shan said to herself, but the next moment, her eyes lit up, "Yes, since you can buy everything, you can also buy clothes!
"
Aunt Shan was a little surprised. There happened to be a family in front of her right now. She could buy some clothes from him and eat some food at the same time. Wouldn't it be a double win?
Aunt Shan smiled and walked towards the hut. As soon as she reached the edge of the bamboo forest, she found a village girl in her twenties sitting in the open space in front of the hut chopping firewood with a hatchet.
As she looked around, Aunt Shan found that the village girl was plainly dressed, quite pretty, and had a strong figure. There were traces of makeup and powder on her face, which gave her a unique look.
The village girl who was chopping firewood saw an old woman walking toward her with a cane. She was startled, stood up hurriedly, and asked in surprise: "You..."
Aunt Shan saw her cautious look and quickly smiled kindly and said: "Don't be afraid, girl, my old lady and her companions have lost their way and lost their way again..."
"Aunt Jin, who are you talking to?" Before Aunt Shan could finish her words, she heard a vigorous and powerful voice coming from the hut in the middle.
Hearing this voice, even masters like Aunt Shan were startled, and they were also guessing in their hearts. I wonder if there is some hidden master here. What should I say later so as not to cause misunderstanding?
The village girl, known as Jin Gu, raised her voice and said, "Dad, I am a mother-in-law."
"Oh, really?" asked the old man in the house. The old man in the house responded in surprise, and then Aunt Shan heard a sound of footsteps. After a moment, an old man with white hair and a goat's beard appeared in front of her.
.
The cloth worn by the old man is already somewhat worn, and the gray-white color brought about by repeated washing over time shows that they may have been here for a long time.
Just when Aunt Shan was seeing a large number of old people, the old man was also looking at Aunt Shan, his eyes bright, but his expression was cold, and he didn't seem to be very friendly.
Seeing this situation, Aunt Shan became more vigilant. It would be bad if these people were arranged by the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan, so she rushed to say with a smile: "I and my companions are lost..."
But as soon as the words were spoken, the old man with a deep expression standing at the door snorted coldly and said: "The companions you lost with are a handsome and upright young man, and two beautiful girls?"
Aunt Shan's heart was shocked when she heard it, and she almost screamed out in surprise. Fortunately, Aunt Shan had experienced the world for a long time and had the courage to endure the words that came to her lips, staring at the old man.
