Carrying the Sword Into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 118 - Meeting the Officer Again
Zhang Siwei avoided pedestrians on the street and patrolling guards along the way, and walked along the path. He looked up and saw the plaque of Haw Par Escort Agency. Zhang Siwei looked around and saw no one around, so he quickly stepped forward and took a photo.
The knocker on the door rang.
"Who is it? What time of the day is this? It's not easy for anyone to live in peace. Please come early tomorrow." An impatient voice came from inside the door.
Normally, Zhang Siwei would have been furious, but now, he is no longer the superior Siwei.
He had no choice but to knock on the door knocker again and speak in a low voice: "It's me, Zhang Chongzhi, I have something important to do to find the leader of the escort, Hu Hu."
When the servant at the gate heard that it was Zhang Siwei, he quickly put on his coat, opened the door, and let Zhang Siwei in. The gatekeeper didn't know about Zhang Siwei's dismissal, so he put on a flattering look and said:
"Master Zhang, what kind of wind is blowing today and why are you here?"
"Has your master come back?" Zhang Siwei grabbed the gatekeeper and asked.
"Yes, yes, the master has just come back not long ago. I will go and report to the master right now." Seeing Zhang Siwei's slightly panicked expression, the gatekeeper quickly went to report.
Hu Hu, who had returned to the Escort Bureau not long ago, was already very angry at the Dufu Department. He had worked hard to manage Lingzhou for many years and could no longer stay there. In the hall, he was explaining to a few confidants how to deal with Lingzhou.
After everything was handled properly, the gatekeeper outside the hall came to report that Zhang Siwei had arrived.
Hu Hu wondered in his heart that he had just come back from the Duhu Division not long ago, so he was not ready to let him go. His expression changed, and Hu Hu asked the guard in a deep voice: "Did he come alone, or did he come with the Du Hu Division Guards?"
.”
"Sir, Mr. Zhang came here alone." The gatekeeper replied respectfully.
Hu Hu thought for a moment and winked at the confidants in the hall. Everyone understood and stepped back. Then Hu Hu said in a deep voice: "Please."
The servant guarding the door understood and obeyed the order to retreat. After a while, he led Zhang Siwei to the hall.
Hu Hu saw Zhang Siwei dressed in ordinary civilian clothes and carrying a baggage on his shoulders. He was slightly surprised and said, "Master Zhang, what's going on?"
"I won't hide it anymore, we are in danger." Zhang Siwei felt that time was tight and there was no time to explain more, so he continued to speak.
"Boss Hu, today you and I have offended a big shot. Let's not mention these things for now. I just want to ask you one question, and you must answer me truthfully."
Hu Hu threatened Zhang Siwei with bribery when he was in the Protectorate Department. When he saw his sudden visit, he became suspicious and said defensively: "Oh? What, what's the problem with Mr. Zhang?"
"Have you been entrusted by the mountain to look for a big man from the north in Lingzhou City?" Seeing Hu Hu's cold attitude, Zhang Siwei knew that he was worried about forcing him to leave Lingzhou for the sake of the Protector, but his life was at stake at the moment.
Guan, who was too concerned, asked eagerly.
"What's the matter, Mr. Zhang, are you afraid that such trivial matters will affect your career?" Hu Hu said in a strange tone.
Zhang Siwei ignored Hu Hu's yin and yang aura and hurriedly said: "Hu Hu, this is not the time to care. Our lives are only between us. You only need to tell me whether it is yes or no."
"That's right, my unsatisfactory brother has this entrustment." Hu Hu saw that Zhang Siwei had changed from his usual arrogance and his panic look was no longer pretending, so he immediately spoke back.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Siwei's eyes were unfocused, and he slumped down on the chair, muttering: "It's over, it's over."
With one ten thousandth of a chance, Zhang Siwei took the risk and came to the Haw Par Escort Agency just to confirm whether what he heard about Wan Jun's interception and killing was true. He got a positive answer from Hu Hu, and there was
Seeing Hu Hu's nonchalant expression, Zhang Siwei knew that he was still kept in the dark, so he quickly calmed down and stood up.
"Boss Hu, it's too late to explain. Do you still have the documents for leaving the city that I gave you in the Protector's Department?"
Although Hu Hu didn't know what made Zhang Siwei so flustered, seeing that his expression did not seem to be disguised, he temporarily put away his contempt and said, "Then the document is on my body, what do you want to do?"
"Let's go, let's go now, you take me to Lingzhou Green Forest, I have something important to do."
When Zhang Siwei heard that the general document was still there, he made up his mind and immediately grabbed Hu Hu and left.
"Master Zhang, didn't you agree to stay for three days? What's wrong? Are you going to go back on your word?" Hu Hu raised his arm and shook off Zhang Siwei's hand.
"It's because..." General Zhang Siwei said, only to hear the sound of footsteps on the street outside the Haw Leopard Escort Bureau, accompanied by the clang of weapons.
"No, hurry up, it's too late, let's go." Zhang Siwei picked up the confused Hu Hu and left.
"Master Zhang, this is..."
"Is there a backdoor to the escort agency?"
"Yes...just."
Hu Hu had no time to react and was dragged away by Zhang Siwei. Hearing the roar of people on the street and the light of torches rising into the sky, Hu Hu secretly thought that something was wrong. After Hu Hu realized what he was doing, he didn't care much anymore and led Zhang Si.
Wei opened the back door and saw that the firelight had shone into the escort office. He didn't have time to think too much and jumped into the darkness.
The general had not gone far when he heard the bustle of people in the escort office. The two of them looked at each other and saw a look of fear in each other's eyes.
"What on earth happened?" Hu Hu asked breathlessly.
"It's a long story. We have to find a way to get two horses. You lead the way. Let's go to your brother's village first. We'll talk in detail on the way." Zhang Siwei was still frightened, but he was glad that his decision had allowed him to escape the disaster.

——
At this moment, Gu Xiao has exerted his inner strength to the extreme. His figure is like an arrow, walking outside Lingzhou City, heading towards Xiaolou Peak. He has learned Yun Zong since returning to the mountain, and Gu Xiao's body skills have already improved.
On the first floor, you can’t see the real face, only the afterimage.
Just as Gu Xiao was rushing forward, he saw a white figure blocking the way in front of him. Gu Xiao hurriedly stopped and stopped in front of the white figure.
He wore a tattered crane cloak, his beard and hair were messy but could not conceal his handsomeness. He still had his back to Gu Xiao, and he was still throwing objects around. Just like when Gu Xiao entered the city, he blocked Gu Xiao's face again.
"Brother Shangguan?" Gu Xiao didn't expect that this crazy Shangguan Renyan would appear here, so he couldn't help but said.
"Let me just say, little brother, our fate does not stop here. It is said in the hexagrams that we will meet again. Now it is better to meet by chance than to meet each other. I brought some wine and meat in the city and was drinking with the moon. Unfortunately, the moon
Not understanding my feelings, he got into the clouds. But fortunately, I just made a divination, and it was my divination again. You said whether the fate in this world is wonderful or not, you appeared just before the divination was finished."
After Shangguan Renyan finished speaking, he actually took out a pot of wine and an oil paper package from his arms. He opened the paper package and found some cooked beef inside. He took out two small white jade cups from his sleeves and said,
He wiped his dirty sleeves and handed them to Gu Xiao very familiarly.
"Brother Shangguan, I have something important to do. After I finish the work, I will have a drink with Brother Shangguan."
Gu Xiao had no intention of drinking, he just wanted to rush back to the foot of Xiaolou Peak and act according to the plan, so he politely declined the wine glass handed to him by Shangguan Renyan. After making a fist salute, he set off and continued on his way.
But when the general and Shangguan Renyan passed by each other by mistake, he felt a flash in front of his eyes. Shangguan Renyan moved in front of Gu Xiao in the blink of an eye. Although he did not speak, he only expressed his intention to stop him with his actions.
Gu Xiao didn't expect that the talkative Shangguan Renyan he met outside Lingzhou City would be so skilled. He couldn't see his movements clearly. When he saw him blocking his way, he didn't know what he meant, so he said:
"Brother Shangguan, what does this mean?"
After carefully putting away the beef in the jug, Shangguan didn't say anything to anyone, but just extended his hand to Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao suddenly remembered that he had given three copper coins to him outside Lingzhou City, so he took out the three shiny copper coins from his arms and handed them over with suspicion.
After getting the copper coins, Shangguan Renyan said with a smile: "If you are in a hurry, I won't stop you. However, everything in this world needs to be consulted with heaven before it can be done. Let me make a divination for my little brother."
Gu Xiao, who wanted to rush on his way, was dumbfounded by Shangguan Renyan's words. He thought that things could not be delayed, but Shangguan Renyan's nagging words blocked his way, and it seemed inappropriate to throw him away.
, immediately said: "Why don't you, Brother Shangguan, come with me? How about we do divination while walking?"
While Gu Xiao was speaking, the three copper coins in Shangguan Renyan's hand floated up out of thin air like threads. Gu Xiao was stunned.
I was surprised to see the mandarin duck pendant floating out of thin air in Lingzhou City. I didn't expect that the three copper coins Shangguan Renyan was like a treasure from the immortal family. They were levitated for the second time under Shangguan Renyan's command, but he took these three coins.
After checking it over and over again, it is as good as the copper plates circulating in the market.
There is only one explanation, that is, this Shangguan man said that his martial arts realm is extraordinary, far beyond the human realm, and he can control objects with his inner strength. When Gu Xiao thought about this, he couldn't help but wonder why this person was approaching him. He couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyes
Staring closely at the three copper coins in the air.
After the three copper coins were spinning and tumbling in the air, they suddenly fell down and fell into Shangguan Renyan's hands, as if the threads were being torn apart.
Seeing Gu Xiao's alert look, Shangguan Renyan smiled and opened his palm, only to see three copper plates lying quietly in his palm. But when Shangguan Renyan saw the copper plates, his smile suddenly disappeared and he fell into deep thought.
Gu Xiao couldn't wait any longer, he cupped his fists and saluted Shangguan Renyan, and immediately used Snow Stepping Qixun, his figure jumped out, and his voice came at the same time: "Brother Shangguan, please forgive me, wait until I finish the important matter at hand.
, I will definitely come to Lingzhou again to meet Brother Shangguan and have a drink with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiao had already jumped seven or eight feet away, leaving Shangguan Renyan alone and staring at the copper plate in his hand in a daze.
"Go down to the ridge and go up to the ridge. The ridge is water, and gen is a mountain. It is difficult to travel, and it is not good for the northeast and the southwest." Shangguan Renyan murmured to himself.
Looking up, Gu Xiao had already disappeared. Shangguan Renyan suddenly smiled again, raised his head and looked at the bright moon emerging from the dark clouds and said: "He is quite like you. If you are determined to do something, you must do it to the end.
, but it’s very painful for me.”
Waving his sleeves gently, the clouds that blocked the moonlight were gently caressed away like mirror flowers in the water, and the moonlight shone down, shining right in front of Shangguan Renyan.
"Only such moonlight is worthy of fine wine." After Shangguan finished speaking, the jade cup of fine wine in his arms had already floated in front of him, and he poured the wine from the pot and drank the fine wine.
Afterwards, Shangguan Renyan's figure disappeared, leaving only the bright moon alone in the sky, waiting for Yun'er to cover it again.
