Two days later, Wu Sheng and Zhong Liying asked the people of the Nuoxi tribe about the whereabouts of Master Dongsun. The second leader of the Nuoxi village was currently in the Nuo village.
After arriving at Xia Nuo Village, Wu Sheng could not leave Zhong Liying and act alone, so he had to take him with him to ask for a meeting with shopkeeper Tong Da.
The large high-rise on stilts in front is the palace of shopkeeper Tong Da. Looking at the four spear-wielding warriors downstairs, Wu Sheng was still very emotional - the old thing Dongzun has indeed had a second spring and is heading towards success.
peak.
The four warriors stared at Wu Sheng and Zhong Liying eagerly, their eyes darting wildly at them. If it hadn't been for the slight change in appearance with the Tianxiang Pill and the disheveled hair, Wu Sheng might not have been able to pass this level. He was in the third part.
He had a great reputation among the people, and many tribesmen had received his own diagnosis and treatment, and some even lived because of it.
Looking at the tall stilted building, Wu Sheng took a deep breath and climbed up the stairs. Zhong Liying followed him and glared at several tribal warriors. He had been in the academy for several years and was used to being flattered. He had never encountered such a person.
The reception was rude, so I was very dissatisfied.
Wu Sheng asked Ningxiang to pass the letter with the elixir. I don’t know if the letter has been passed on. What he needs most now is the tacit understanding of Master Dongsun. If Master Dongsun receives the letter, the tacit understanding between the two will be even higher.
An order of magnitude, otherwise it will be easy to reveal the truth.
To put it bluntly, this is a gamble, and the bet is Zhong Liying's life.
Master Dongzhan was waiting at the door. He originally heard from his subordinates that someone from the academy wanted to see him, so he was planning to run away. But after the visitor signed up, he decided to stay and see the situation. It has to be said that in Baiyue these days,
Years later, with the improvement of his cultivation and the growth of his status, he has indeed gained a lot of courage.
After meeting, Wu Sheng winked at him and Dongzun also winked, establishing an initial tacit understanding.
After sitting down, Wu Sheng smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Tong, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you always?"
Master Dongsun handed over his hand: "TOEFL, TOEFL." He didn't dare to answer randomly, so he could only make it as simple as possible.
Wu Sheng said: "The shopkeeper may not know that I entered the Academy last winter and am now a monk in the Yangzhou Academy... This is my colleague, Brother Zhongli."
Zhong Liying raised his hand and said, "Zhong Liying has met Shopkeeper Tong."
Master Dongsun showed surprise on his face, and after returning the gift, he said: "I'm still thinking, but... unexpectedly, a monk from the academy came to see me, and he also has the same name as Brother Sun. I see, this is really gratifying and congratulatory!"
Wu Sheng said with a smile: "I have now settled in Yangzhou. My family also takes good care of me when traveling. They specially set up a village for me and asked me to invite my relatives and friends from the wild land of Baiyue to Yangzhou to enjoy their blessings. Shopkeeper Tong, tell me
Ashamedly, I have lost contact with my relatives, friends and brothers, such as Boyi, Weizi, Jisun, etc., since the spring of last year. I don’t know where they are now, so I want to get some news about them from Shopkeeper Tong."
Master Dongsun hesitated and said: "Do you want to take all your relatives, friends and brothers to Yangzhou?"
Wu Sheng asked: "I wonder if the shopkeeper knows their whereabouts."
Master Dongsun thought carefully about Wu Sheng's words. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he subconsciously looked at Zhong Liying.
Zhong Liying said: "This is not only Qing Xingxing's care for Brother Sun, but also Brother Sun's wish."
Master Dongsun was even more confused. He had just received the black ginseng pills sent by Ningxiang from Yangzhou yesterday. There was a letter from Wu Sheng hidden in it, telling him that the academy was going to Mangdang Mountain to investigate Wu Sheng's case again, and asked him to remind Xiu
The brothers in Yunshan were on high alert and could escape at any time. Before they could go to Xiuyun Mountain, Wu Sheng arrived and said that he would take people to settle in Yangzhou. Isn't this inconsistent?
Immediately he said: "I don't know either, I'm not familiar with them..."
Zhong Liying said: "Shopkeeper Tong, you were also rewarded by the Academy for helping the Sword Sect in practice. You have to do your best in matters related to the Academy. I heard from Brother Sun that you have many connections in the wild land of Baiyue. If you want It is actually not difficult to inquire about the information, but you must know that this is helping Brother Sun, and the matter of the academy cannot be shied away from."
Master Dongsun thought about it for a long time and said to Wu Sheng: "Then... I want to think of a way to... look for it?"
Wu Sheng said: "Thank you very much! Please ask the shopkeeper to find a place for me and Zhongli to live. It's best to keep it secret and not reveal our identities. Zhongli and I will wait in your village for a few days."
Dongzun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately arranged for Wu Sheng and Zhong Liying to stay in two wooden houses in a remote area of Xia Nuo Village.
Zhong Liying did not go to her wooden house, but said to Wu Sheng: "The character of the Baiyue barbarians is uncertain, and we must guard against their changes. We are in the place where our safety is unpredictable. It is better for me and Brother Sun to be together. We have mutual understanding." A response."
Wu Sheng deeply agreed: "What Brother Zhongli said is absolutely true. Shopkeeper Tong and I only have some business dealings and are just acquaintances. There is danger in this and we must be aware of it."
So the two lived in a wooden house and never left each other.
In the evening, two women came with baskets of wine and food to entertain Wu Sheng and Zhong Liying. Zhong Liying was still waiting to check the food, but Wu Sheng was already eating and drinking without ceremony. After waiting for a while, he saw Wu Sheng Sheng looked calm and didn't seem to be poisoned, so he started eating and drinking.
The two women from Nuoxi Village were dressed gorgeously but simply. They served them with great care. Wu Sheng said with a smile: "This is a Baiyue custom. When distinguished guests come to the village, they all have to borrow seeds. Brother Zhongli doesn't need to worry about this. You can be more relaxed."
Zhong Liying sighed: "Although I am not young, I have a unique charm, but this is not the right time. I will lend it to them next time I come."
Wu Sheng stopped trying to persuade him and nodded in agreement: "That's fine."
The two women went back to report what had happened. Master Dongsun smiled and said, "Qiao Qiao, don't worry about it. It's not you who can't do it, it's Zhong Liying who has ulterior motives."
Qiaoqiao curled her lips: "I still don't like him!"
The two women were Qiaoqiao and Susu who were under Ding Ran's command. They fell into the trap of the Chu people because of Shangyong's defeat. They cherished their homeland and did not want to enter Chu, so they followed Ding Ran and fled to Baiyue, where they settled in Xianuo Village.
Dongzun took the black ginseng pill from Susu's hand and opened it immediately.
This was prepared by Wu Sheng in advance on the road. He told Master Dongsun about two things. The first was to confirm that Wu Sheng was not dead and that there should be evidence that he had appeared in the wilderness in recent times. The second was to find some evidence. A person who had nothing to do with Wu Sheng returned to Yangzhou with him as a relative or friend.
Knowing Wu Sheng's exact intention, Master Dongsun was sure, so he rushed to Xiuyun Mountain overnight to discuss with Jin Wuhuan and others.
Wu Sheng and Zhong Liying were waiting in Xianuo Village. Because they had specifically told them not to show off, Master Dongsun did not arrange for anyone to wait. Qiaoqiao and Susu came to serve them every day.
For several consecutive meals, Zhong Liying resisted Qiaoqiao's corrosion with strong determination, but became increasingly unable to sit still, and said to Wu Sheng: "Inquiring about Brother Sun's relatives and friends may not yield results in a short time, so why don't we continue southward?" Jiuzhen, want to find out the whereabouts of Thief Wu?"
Wu Sheng immediately agreed: "It should be so."
