Of course Li Fenglan agreed with the map matter. After all, this thing belonged to his master and he should not have made the decision.
If Xu Qingchen hadn't been stopped by Linghan, he would have gone to the location marked in the picture to search for it that day.
After that, Li Fenglan and Han Lu stayed at Thorny Gate for a few days, firstly to kill the boring time, and secondly, to have more contact with Agarwood Zhi, so as to better understand their partners.
…
Outside Chang'an City, a group of carriages and horses were driving slowly. It can be seen that this is a trip for a wealthy family, and there are many people accompanying them. The plow car in the center of the motorcade was luxuriously decorated, and the sound of babies crying could be heard from inside.
Zhu Xiaoxiao held the baby in her arms and teased the baby softly to prevent him from falling asleep. This child sleeps during the day and makes noises at night. The adults in the family cannot sleep well due to the trouble.
Chunhua on the side said: "Miss, please hold the young master for me."
"No need," Zhu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "It's very tiring for you to coax him every day. Anyway, there's nothing wrong now. I can just watch... By the way, where is your uncle?"
"My uncle is in the carriage behind. He has sent some letters from home. He wants to read them."
"Well, don't disturb him if you have nothing to do."
This team of people was the team of Zhou Jin, a wealthy businessman from Chang'an. They were heading west, apparently heading to Huazhou.
Zhou Jin lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand, and asked the attendant beside him solemnly: "Is this letter really from Luoyang?"
"Yes, the person who sent the letter is very mysterious. We originally wanted to go to Luoyang to inquire about it, but you said that the matter was urgent, so we ignored it."
Zhou Jin hammered his forehead in annoyance and muttered to himself: "You should go to Zhongnan Mountain to ask first... You guys go and tell the guys to cheer up, we won't rest in the meantime and get to Huazhou early. "
"Yes, sir."
After saying that, the entourage exited the carriage, but not long after he got out, he came back in again.
Zhou Jin looked at him doubtfully, and the attendant said: "Master, someone is looking for you."
"who?"
"I don't know, they are two Taoist priests."
Zhou Jin opened the curtain and walked out, only to see two Taoist priests riding horses beside his carriage. He vaguely remembered that he had seen these robes somewhere.
Zhou Jin clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask which Taoist temple these two immortals belong to? What are you looking for?"
A young Taoist priest with an unshaven beard smiled and asked, "You are Boss Zhou Jinzhou, right?"
"Exactly down there."
"We are related," the Taoist priest said with a smile, "my seventh child is your uncle."
Zhou Jin suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out to be the immortal chief of Qingfeng Temple, disrespectful!"
The Taoist priest introduced himself: "My name is Zhan Tianhong, your seventh senior brother."
Having said this, Zhan Tianhong pointed to the Taoist priest next to him, whose face was covered with a black veil, and said, "This is our fourth senior brother. You can't tell me your name. This is my senior brother's own rule. Boss Zhou forgives me."
"No problem."
Although Zhou Jin is not a martial artist, his family is involved in big business, and he has heard of the rules and rumors in the martial arts world. Qingfengguan had a great reputation in Chang'an, not to mention that he was related to his wife, so of course he knew a little bit more about it. For example, Taoist Master Zhan Tianhong is the strongest among Zhang Chengqing's seven disciples. Another example is Zhang Chengqing's fourth disciple. The whole world only knows that there is such a person, but no one knows his name, no one knows what he looks like, let alone his strength.
Zhou Jin asked: "What are the two immortals going to do?"
"We are going to Huazhou to help Master do something. Why are you going?"
Zhou Jin replied: "I, Old Taishan, miss my daughter and grandson, so I will take Zhuojing to Huazhou to stay for a few days."
"What a coincidence," Zhan Tianhong looked very happy, "We happened to be on the way."
"You two are too tired to ride horses, so I will ask someone to free up a carriage."
Zhan Tianhong waved his hand: "No need to bother, we senior brothers are used to sleeping in the open."
As he was talking, the door of the car in front opened and Zhu Xiaoxiao walked out of the car. She heard someone chatting with her husband just now and wanted to come out to see who it was.
As soon as he saw Zhan Tianhong, Zhu Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhan!"
Zhang Chengqing took Zhan Tianhong and Zhu Mingyu back to Huazhou several times before. Zhu Xiaoxiao had met Zhan Tianhong, but she was young at the time and didn't know how to call Zhan Tianhong, so she and her brother simply called him senior brother.
Zhan Tianhong also responded with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, long time no see."
Zhu Xiaoxiao said apologetically: "I... have children in the car, so I can't get out of the car to greet them."
"Why bother talking about so many rules? It's windy and sandy outside. Come back to the car quickly."
Zhu Xiaoxiao was not polite to him and had already got back into the car. She had just given birth not long ago and was still relatively weak.
Zhan Tianhong looked at Zhou Jin again and asked with a smile: "Boss Zhou, do you have tea in the car? After traveling for such a long time, my throat is almost smoking."
"Yes, Taoist Master, follow me in."
After hearing what he said, Zhan Tianhong jumped on the carriage. Zhou Jin originally wanted to politely let him go in first, but there was only a small amount of space outside the carriage and he couldn't stretch out, so he entered the carriage first.
When Zhou Jin entered, Zhan Tianhong's expression changed. He stretched out his hand to pinch the neck of Zhou Jin's entourage and grabbed him into the carriage before anyone could see him.
Zhou Jin entered the carriage and was about to make tea when he saw Zhan Tianhong coming in, grabbing his entourage by the neck. He was shocked, and just when he was about to scream, Zhan Tianhong made a silent gesture towards him. Zhou Jin read Zhu Mingyu's letter from Luoyang and knew that someone was going to do harm to his family. He had doubts when he met Brother Zhan Tianhong on the road. But after seeing his wife's reaction, he realized that this man was indeed his uncle's senior brother.
But when Zhan Tianhong grabbed his entourage and entered the carriage, he couldn't understand it again.
Zhan Tianhong strangled the attendant's neck. With his strength, no one who was strangled by him could break free.
Zhan Tianhong whispered: "Boss Zhou, I will explain to you later."
After speaking, he stared at the entourage and said, "How many of your people are there in this convoy?"
He let go slightly, giving the attendant room to speak.
The attendant sneered with a disdainful expression on his face: "Humph, don't even think about it..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhan Tianhong exerted force on his hand, and there was a "click" sound, and the follower's neck was broken.
Looking at Zhou Jin who looked shocked, Zhan Tianhong explained: "Have you received Lao Qi's letter?"
Zhou Jin nodded quickly.
"There are many spies planted by the Yuan family in your family, in order to control you and make the seventh child obedient. You and Xiaoxiao left Chang'an, where are your parents?"
Zhou Jin calmed down and said, "My parents went overseas in the middle of the year and have never come back."
"That's good."
Zhan Tianhong let go of his hand and the body fell to the ground. He clapped his hands and continued: "Lao Qi didn't mention it to you in his letter. I'm here to apologize to you for him, for causing you trouble."
"No matter where it is, we are a family."
Zhan Tianhong smiled: "I like loyalty. But, Boss Zhou, are you brave?"
"Alright... okay, you dare to walk at night at the age of six or seven."
"That's fine, let's put this body in your carriage first, and we'll find a way to throw it away at night."
"All right."
"By the way, where's my tea?"
Zhou Jin quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhan Tianhong. Only then did he realize that his hands were shaking.
Zhan Tianhong took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, our brothers and sisters are here, no one dares to touch you, you can do whatever you have to do, it doesn't matter."
After saying that, he left the carriage.
Outside the carriage, the fourth senior brother rode a horse and followed Zhu Xiaoxiao's carriage without saying a word.
Zhan Tianhong patrolled the pair on horseback, taking note of the good-hearted people in his eyes.
In the carriage, Zhou Jin stared blankly at the body of the attendant. He was very scared. It was not that he was afraid of the corpse, but that the attendant had grown up with him since childhood.
…
After traveling for several days, Bai Shuyu and Jade finally arrived in Chuzhou before Bai Shuang'er's wedding.
In fact, they could arrive a few days earlier, but Zhu Mingyu and Feicui did not take the fastest route. They wanted to take this opportunity to see more of the scenery.
"From the time you came out of the valley last year to now, you have been thinking about what happened nineteen years ago every day, and you have never had the chance to look around. We just took this opportunity to travel. To tell you the truth, since I have grown up, I have only known you since then. There are more places to go, I have never been out of Luoyang before."
In the Bai family courtyard outside Chuzhou City, two people were sitting side by side in the pavilion. Bai Shuyu was talking with a smile.
Jade sighed: "I just said that we will start a fight with Ye Yu Xiaozhu in less than two months. You are so busy, but you can still find time to go out and play. You and Li Fenglan really look alike."
Bai Shuyu smiled mischievously: "It's like I'm just playing by myself. Aren't you happy too?"
"I've already come out, so I can't keep a straight face."
"That's right, smile more. My sister said that the more a woman laughs, the slower she will age."
"You think I'm getting old quickly, don't you?"
"Jade, there is something I don't know if you are clear about."
"What's up?"
"It's just...actually, in terms of not being able to speak, you are a bit more extreme than Amber."
Jade let go of Bai Shuyu's hand, turned around and lay down on the bench, resting her head on Bai Shuyu's legs. She closed her eyes and said, "It's better to come here, it will be more relaxing."
Bai Shuyu gently touched Jade's face. Looking at this exquisite and flawless face, Bai Shuyu suddenly felt guilty.
"Jade," Bai Shuyu asked, "can I ask you something?"
"Just ask."
"If...I lie to you in the future, will you forgive me?"
Jade opened her eyes: "Li Fenglan asked me the same thing."
"Then how did you answer? Will you beat her to death?"
"No, she is asking what I will do if you stand on the opposite side of her one day."
"Then what will you do?"
"Of course I'm on your side."
Bai Shuyu felt even more guilty.
Then Jade added: "Then I'll beat you to death with my own hands."
Bai Shuyu chuckled, and then asked: "What about my question? What would you do if I lied to you?"
"Let's see what kind of deception it is."
"Suppose I fall in love with another woman."
"I beat you to death."
"For another example, I broke up with Li Fenglan."
"Hit both of you, and be gentle when you hit her."
"Why? Can't a bowl of water be leveled?"
"You are mine, she is an outsider...just a cheap sister, you still have to deal with favors."
Bai Shuyu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Actually, you are not as cold as you seem. Don't you know how to tell jokes?"
Congcui sat up, knelt on the bench and came close to Bai Shuyu's face, staring into his eyes seriously: "Bai Shuyu, I may be joking, but I was not joking about those few words just now. You two have asked me Similar questions, I can vaguely feel something, you two must be hiding something from me. But I don't want to ask, you know my temper, I want to hear your own words. "
Bai Shuyu was silent for a while and sighed: "I have nothing to hide from you. If I insist on hiding anything, it is probably about Li Fengyao."
"What's up?"
"Jade, have you ever thought about it? Why didn't Li Fenglan tell you?"
"No, why?"
"The two of us haven't found the answer yet. We just have some differences in how to find the answer, but don't worry... I won't lie to you."
I have lied to you now. If you want to take action then, please do it more easily.
The two people were talking when they suddenly heard a woman shouting in the outer courtyard: "Emerald!!"
