Never sleep.
An Nanfeng returned to Tai'an with several carts of goods, and An Zhixian let him rest for half a day, and then got down to business after dinner.
An Nanfeng: "The men secretly sent by King Jin to Zhangzhou were not only watched by us, but also by the Han family. Our people who sneaked into Binzhou left a secret code in Taizhou a few days ago, and then disappeared. Ling I left to check, and will come to Kyoto after the investigation is completed."
An Zhixian poured hot tea for An Nanfeng:
"Uncle An is lucky to have traveled all the way. If those people didn't only know you, they wouldn't have let you go all the way back and forth."
An Nanfeng took the hot tea with both hands and sighed with a nostalgic look:
"Some of these people are old people who have been with the master in the early years, and some have received kindness from the master. The master was kind and chivalrous when he was young and helped many people. Now that the master is gone, they still remember the kindness of the master. They entrust I have a message for you, saying that it is only at the young master’s command.”
An Zhixian lowered his eyes: "Thank you for me when we see you again. How is Gao Liqiong doing?"
An Nanfeng: "Our people have been in the Zhenxi Army for five years, and were transferred to the Pioneer Battalion as a leader last year. Although they are now familiar with Gao Liqiong, they have not yet fully gained their trust."
An Zhixian nodded: "This matter cannot be rushed. Send someone to send a message to him not to be impatient. Just pay attention to everything and follow the rules. Don't let the years of tolerance be ruined in one day."
An Nanfeng responded, took a sip of tea and said:
"By the way, it is said in the world that the master of the Mingye Pavilion and the young master of the Tianji Sect competed in martial arts during the Lantern Festival and fought from Kyoto to Xiangzhou. It is Young Master Feng who went to Xiangzhou to do something for you. Yet?"
An Zhixian told the story of the Shangyuan Festival and explained:
"Feng Xiaoran is at Chuchen's pawnshop, and the one who went to Xiangzhou is Chen Yao beside him."
An Nanfeng said in surprise: "Did you start a fight with Young Master Feng because of Miss Lin?"
An Zhixian's expression froze and he was speechless for a moment before he managed to explain:
"Uncle An, I pretended to fight Feng Xiaoran just to save people. What did you think of that?"
"I mean, you were trying to save people. Where did you go?"
"..."
The back hall of the drug store.
Meng Jie followed the person here. After knocking on the door, he heard the people inside talking. The person opened the door and stood at the door, making a gesture to Meng Jie to come in.
Meng Jie entered the house and heard the door closing from the outside. Without looking back, he paused and walked towards the inner room.
The person at the table sat against the light, with a guard holding a sword standing behind him.
The man sitting at the table smiled kindly:
"As expected of Xiao Shangshu's eldest son, he is indeed very courageous. Please take a seat."
Meng Jie looked at the two of them and strolled forward:
"My surname is Meng, not Xiao. I have never met you two. If you are looking for the young master of the Xiao family, you should go to the residence of the Minister of Industry. He lies in bed all day and doesn't go anywhere. It's very easy to find him. "
"The eldest young master seems to have deep grievances against the Xiao family. Let me protect the family. I am the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qin and the cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince. I think the eldest young master knows the relationship between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin. The Duke of Qin's Mansion Naturally, we cannot become friends with His Highness the King of Qin. With my relationship with Xiao Shangshu, I wonder if I can be friends with the eldest young master?"
Meng Jie slowly sat down while thinking:
"You are a relative of the emperor. Why do you want to lower yourself to be friends with ordinary people like ordinary people?"
Qin Zongliang smiled and said: "I heard that Shangshu Xiao repeatedly tried to persuade the eldest young master to return to the Xiao Mansion to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, but the eldest young master was unmoved. With such integrity, he is naturally worth making friends with."
