The second thousand three hundred and eighty-two chapters seek each other
"Don't talk about Jinghu, even Jingzhou is insignificant compared to the prince's troops going south this time. It's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, maybe he just doesn't have the time." Fan Yan sighed, but it still hurt the people around Jinghu.
, having hope, then losing hope is really cruel to them.
Ning Ju'an and the others couldn't interrupt the official affairs, and they didn't show the slightest expression on their faces. The people did not fight with the officials. This has been the case since ancient times. Regardless of the rich, if they offended these powerful officials, their families would be ruined.
.
Everyone apologized and said goodbye, but Fan Yan said goodbye to everyone politely. He was not arrogant at all and treated others with humility and courtesy. I don't know if he was usually like this or because Li Luo hadn't gone far.
The generals left, and Fan Yan and the other three also said goodbye. Chen Dengyuan went to nowhere holding the calligraphy left by Li Luo. Ning Ju'an and Xu Baoshi walked together, both of them looking at each other in silence. Although they saw Li Luo, they didn't know where they were.
I know why there is always some unspeakable regret in my heart.
"Brother Ning, what do you think of today's events?"
"Brother Xu, are you talking about the flood in Jinghu Lake?"
"Yes, Brother Yu heard that the prince knows rewards and punishments clearly and loves the people, but today he didn't mention a word about the water bandits in Jinghu Lake, which is somewhat puzzling."
"How dare you and I, the common people, to make arrogant decisions about the affairs of the imperial court? Perhaps, as Mr. Fan said, the prince just cannot use his hands and feet. This move south to cut down the feudal vassal is of great importance. It is reasonable for the prince not to want to cause trouble."
"These bastards, three of the Xu family's ships were impounded last month, and it took thousands of taels of silver to redeem them. Unlucky!" Xu Baoshi's face was sinister and he cursed fiercely.
Ning Ju'an sighed: "If the water bandits are not eliminated, there will be no peace in Jinghu Lake. Fortunately, Brother Xu, our Ning family relies on the precious herbs from Yinghu Mountain to make a living. Since the water bandits became
Big, our Ning family is stretched thin, life is really sad these days."
"Brother Ning, if there is anything you can do to help Brother Yu, just ask. I'll send someone to tell you. It can't permanently eliminate future troubles, but it can only quench the immediate thirst."
"Thank you very much, Brother Xu. I'm afraid I will need Brother Xu's help in the future."
"See, you and I are both making a living in Jingzhou. Our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. We should rely on each other and do our own thing. Don't say thank you."
The two chatted for a few more words, said goodbye, got on the carriage, and returned to their houses in the city. Xu Baoshi took the first step and left the small market of Tanghe, escorting more than fifty people, many of whom were masters of the world and were indeed rich and powerful.
Xu Baoshi closed his eyes and meditated in the carriage. He had just left the small market of Tanghe and before he could go far, the carriage suddenly stopped and he heard the guard in front of the carriage ask in a deep voice: "Who are you driving? Why are you blocking our way?"
Xu Baoshi was startled. He quickly opened the curtain and took a look. He saw a tall and handsome woman with a sword on her back standing in the middle of the road, staring at him intently. She opened her red lips and said lightly: "My young master, please
The head of the Xu family took a step to explain."
The guard frowned and was about to speak. Xu Baoshi thought for a moment and realized something was not right. To say that someone was blocking the road and plundering him would be a shame. The prince in the capital was right in front of him, with hundreds of thousands of troops.
, who dares to be a little thief without long eyes at this time, and the girl with the sword is not an ordinary person at first glance. If a person like this is a little thief blocking the road, he would really look down on these green forest bandits. Thinking of this, Xu
Boshi raised his hand to stop the guard who was still waiting to ask questions, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Can I recognize this female hero with your young master?"
"Of course I recognize you. If you don't recognize me, how could my young master invite you so rashly?"
Xu Baoshi exclaimed in surprise. For some reason, he suddenly thought about meeting this mysterious young master, and then laughed loudly: "Where is your young master?"
"It's over there." The woman carrying the sword pointed to an ancient small temple by the stream beside the road. It was originally built by local fishermen to pray for calm seas. However, the small market of Tanghe is now no different than before, and there are fewer fishermen.
Many people who guard the small market in Tanghe can always find a profitable business as long as they work harder, and gradually they no longer go fishing in the lake. If the weather is good, if the weather is good, if there is a storm, it will be a tragedy of shipwreck and death.
There is no guarantee that you will gain something every time you go out on the boat. Slowly, the incense in this small temple will become sparse, and in a few years, it may become an abandoned house.
Xu Baoshi pondered for a while, and to be honest, he murmured in his heart. This person hides his head and shows his tail, and doesn’t know his roots. If he doesn’t show his timidity, it will weaken the prestige of the big family in Jingzhou. However, this place is very close to the small market of Tanghe, so he is not too big.
Worryingly, given the reputation of the Xu family, few people would dare to have evil thoughts easily.
"Okay, then go and see who your young master is."
"Master." The guard whispered, advising him not to go. The woman carrying the sword didn't look strange at all. She smiled faintly and turned around to walk towards the Water Temple.
Xu Baoshi waved his hand, indicating that it was okay. He got off the carriage and took three nursing experts with him. He followed the woman carrying the sword down the official road and walked towards the small temple. The temple was not far from the official road and there was a gurgling stream that flowed into Jinghu Lake.
, this is a water temple dedicated to Jinghu Lake, so naturally it is not far from Jinghu Lake. If the sword-carrying woman and her son have evil thoughts, it will not be easy for them to run away.
After a while, a few people arrived in front of the temple. There were lights in the temple, which were not too bright and a little dim. As soon as the four people arrived in front of the temple, they heard a clear voice coming from the temple: "Master Xu, I take the liberty to invite you, please don't blame me."
.”
The voice was very familiar, and Xu Baoshi's heart moved. He must have seen this person before, and there was no malice in his tone. He was certain in his heart. He smiled, and as soon as he stepped into the temple gate, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around sharply, frightened.
The three nursing masters beside him jumped, and they all touched the weapons, but they heard Xu Baoshi shouting quickly: "You stay outside the temple, no one is allowed to come in unless I call you!" After saying this, he was busy.
After entering the Water Temple, he raised his hand and closed the temple door. The woman carrying the sword did not go in. She stood quietly outside the door and looked at the Xu family guards who looked blank.
There is only one entrance to the temple and there is no backyard. It is clear after entering. What is enshrined in it is the statue of the Water Goddess. Over time, the appearance has been blurred and mottled, but he can really see the person in front of the incense table. Sure enough, he recognizes it.
And not long ago, we were drinking together with Li Luo, the king of Da Gan Ding!
Xu Baoshi bowed his head and bowed. Li Luo waved his hand gently, and a warm internal energy lifted him up. He smiled warmly and said, "Master Xu, don't be too polite. I have something to ask of you." Li Luo got straight to the point.
, Xu Baoshi was filled with surprises, his head was a little dizzy and he couldn't turn around. He didn't look for Master Fan, nor did he look for Ning Ju'an, but looked for me, and even used the word "please".
