After Huang Mao went out, the young man directly raised his hand and asked the first sister and I to sit down. Since the only position left was the downwind position, the first sister and I sat down side by side.
"My servant is ignorant and makes you laugh." After the two of us sat down, the young man said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Cao Shaoqin. My father is the master of Cao Tiancao Hall. Today I am also serving as a minister. I have accepted my father's orders to entertain you. On the one hand, I want to show my kindness to the landlord. On the other hand, I, Cao Shaoqin, also want to make friends from the north and the south. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me." Is Cao Tian's son?
I didn't expect him to have such an appearance, almost comparable to me. This name sounds much more pleasant to the ears, unlike his father and second uncle who dare to shout about the world. However, although the name is pleasant to the ears, it is also somewhat familiar. It seems to be the title of an eunuch in the Ming Dynasty.
After the host introduced us, it was the turn of the guests, led by Cao Shaoqin, the young master of the Cao Gang. Sitting to his left was a very rough man with a stubble on his face, who was as good as Erbao. As soon as I opened my mouth, I took a mouthful of the rich smell of corn stubble.
"I am the son of Bai Manghuo, the current head of the Bai family of the Northern sect, and so is Bai Chi. Thanks to the favor of the Cao gang this time, I have the honor to follow my father to the south, and I have received such hospitality from the young master of the Cao family. I, Bai Chi, will definitely be with me. My father fully assists the Cao Gang."
"Okay, Shaoqin would like to thank Brother Bai in advance." Cao Shaoqin bowed his hands and saluted. Even though the man looks rough and his tone is rough, you can tell from his words that this guy has gone to nine years of compulsory education, and his words are decent, but it's just this name, why does it sound like that? It's intriguing.
Sitting on the right side of Cao Shaoqin is a young man and woman, who are only in their early twenties. They are similar in age and look somewhat similar. Their green and purple clothes are embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns respectively. They seem to be the same. A pair of twin brothers and sisters.
The man cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm going to get rid of Lou Jinjiao from the Lou family in Xiling. This is my twin sister Lou Yuluan. She has a weird personality and doesn't like to talk much. Please forgive me."
"Brother Lou is joking, your sister is so handsome, and some of her character is understandable." Cao Shaoqin joked, but then quickly changed his subject and asked: "By the way, Brother Lou, I heard from my father that you are here with your sister this time. "It seems like there are other things to do, right?" Lou Jinjiao smiled and nodded.
"That's right, we, brother and sister, are traveling with my father this time. We are also entrusted by my grandfather to bring back the Lou family's treasure, the Dragon Claw, which was stolen by the rebels back then." When they heard that this twin brother and sister were actually named Lou, I was already very surprised. Now these two people are still running to take back the dragon claws. This makes me feel the slightest hostility surrounding me, and I will inevitably get entangled with this pair of brothers and sisters.
"Oh, is it the Lou family's treasure? Who has it now?" Cao Shaoqin seemed to know what he was asking. When he asked Lou Jinjiao, his peripheral vision glanced at me.
Lou Jinjiao replied: "My cousin killed my father to seize the treasure, and the Dragon Detection Claw was naturally in his hands. However, recently I heard that my cousin died on the East China Sea, and the Dragon Exploration Claw was taken by someone else. That person His name is Xie Dongzi." At this point, Lou Jinjiao raised his hands and said in a get-away tone: "Brother Cao, if you have any news about this person, please tell me, Jin Jiao, I will be very grateful!" Cao Shaoqin's mouth curled up slightly. , showed a meaningful smile, and then turned his gaze to me, meaning it was time for me to introduce myself.
In this tent, apart from the first sister, Cao Shaoqin must be the only one who knows my last name, otherwise Huang Mao would not have called out my name directly.
Naturally, I don't want to reveal my identity, because if that is the case, the Dragon Claw may not be saved.
Although this Dragon Claw is the treasure of the Xiling Lou family, since it came into my hands by chance, it has followed me all over the world and experienced a lot of life and death. Now that I am separated from it, I really mean it. Can't do it.
But even if I don’t want to give it up, so what, the rightful owner has come to find me, so how can I claim it as my own?
Seeing Cao Shaoqin's gaze coming over, I simply stood up and planned to reveal my identity.
"My name is……"
"Your name is Zhang San, right? I heard this Miss Qiao call you that before." Cao Shaoqin interrupted me and said this directly, which made me feel confused for a while. His words were undoubtedly He was just covering for me. Speaking of which, I had no interaction with Cao Shaoqin at all, so why did he help me smooth things over like this?
"Zhang San? What's this? I've never heard of it." Bai Chi, who is a member of the Jin family, gave me a disdainful look, looking down at an ant. Just this look and one sentence completely exposed it. His nature, and the self-restraint he had shown before, seemed to be all fake, used to show off in front of Cao Shaoqin.
Lou Jinjiao is much more reserved than Bai Chi. Although he also showed his disdain for little people like me on his face, at least his words were not too aggressive.
"Zhang San? This name is indeed quite unfamiliar. Maybe it's a rising star in recent years." These words gave me a step down, but I was not grateful to him because his facial expression had already given him away. In his heart, he is actually just like Bai Chi, a proud and aloof person.
My mind was still thinking about why Cao Shaoqin came to my rescue, and I didn't take Bai Chi and Lou Jinjiao's words to heart at all.
Seeing that I was still standing stupidly, the first lady on the side raised her hand and grabbed the corner of my clothes, making me sit down again.
The first sister then stood up and said in a very casual manner: "My name is Qiu Yiyi, and everyone calls me the first sister on the street. Of course you have never heard of a little person like me, but my master, you should always Have you heard that my master is Mr. Xiao, who is called Shuilong?"
"Holy shit, is this Mr. Xiao who has been digging for water for more than ten years and never failed? I heard that she seems to be a bitch!" This Bai Chi's words were really unpleasant, and the same words came out of his mouth As soon as I said it, the tone changed. I could clearly see the corner of the first sister's mouth twitching. If it hadn't been for such an occasion, the first sister would have taken action long ago.
"Oh, it turns out he is Mr. Xiao's disciple. I'm disrespectful." Cao Shaoqin said with his hands raised. Lou Jinjiao on the side also hurriedly echoed: "I have heard about Mr. Xiao's name for a long time, and I am finally lucky enough to see his style. I really want to see what kind of treasure Mr. Xiao's water-avoiding magic weapon is."
