Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 3 Making friends
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yingying's face, but she was originally a daughter of the Northland, and her mother was from the Aegean Kingdom of the Western Continent, so she was always bold and generous by nature, she pointed at Wufeng next to her and said: " This is my friend``````"
Before the words finished, Wufeng, who had already dismounted from his horse, immediately answered: "I'm Li Feng, a native of the imperial capital, and now lives in Qingyang in the northwest."
The eagle-eyed old man fixed his eyes on Wufeng, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then the old man can ask you to call you nephew Li Xian."
He also turned over and dismounted, and the rest of the people saw the old man dismounted and dismounted immediately. At this time, more than twenty riders behind Wufeng had already dismounted and stood behind Wufeng.
The white-faced man's gaze had already fallen on the guard behind Wufeng. He also saw that Wufeng possessed not-so-weak martial arts, but he was not surprised. Those kids who dared to run outside had practiced for a few days, but the twenty or so knights behind Wufeng made him quite uneasy.
These twenty people came galloping on horseback. When they arrived at the ground, the leader was a man with thick eyebrows and a square face. Shua Shua stopped ten meters away from his group of people, and the leader dismounted neatly with a gesture. It was like a person's movement, unless other martial arts sects in the military could never train it. Even this riding skill is not ordinary. The sect can practice it.
What's more, the mountainous aura brought by these twenty people makes the white-faced man feel that Wufeng's identity is very important. Can everyone in the army act as bodyguards for him? His thoughts were still stuck in the characterization that Wufeng might be a son of a great family in the northwest. If he was a local official, he would naturally not travel in plain clothes, and would be accompanied by officials along the way. If he was an army general, why would he have family members with him?
"Nephew Li Xian, since you have a long relationship with the housekeeper, you are not an outsider. Come, let me introduce you." know.
The man with the black face and scars is his fourth younger brother Yuntai, who is known as the "Lonely Vulture" in the Jianghu. The master is also called "East and West Double Eagles"; and the white-faced man is his third junior brother Yan Qing, who is outstanding in light kung fu and swordsmanship, but is even more famous in the Jianghu for his resourcefulness and planning, and is known as "One Sword Hengjiang".
The capable young man in his thirties is his eldest son, Gu Dengyun. In the past two years, she has won the title of "Fire Phoenix", and she is also born like a flower like a jade, attracting countless children from martial arts families.
Wu Feng secretly complained incessantly, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be sincere and salute each one.
"Uncle Gu, where are you guys going?" Guan Yingying asked casually when she saw that everyone was relaxed.
"Oh, my uncle's trip came from Longdong Prefecture, and he was going back to his hometown in Bashan. Why, it's almost the end of the year, where are you going?" the eagle-eyed old man asked enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
"My niece is returning to her home in Hejian from the northwest, and he is returning to the imperial capital for business." Seeing that Wufeng was unwilling to reveal his true identity, Guan Yingying vaguely mentioned it.
"It's almost noon, why don't we all take a break around here before we go." The white-faced man interrupted suddenly.
Everyone was stunned, especially the eagle-eyed old man, but he knew that his junior was always shrewd, and no one in his class could match him. There must be a reason for his proposal, so he smiled and said: "Yes, don't worry. I haven't seen my virtuous brother for a long time, but today I can see my niece, although this Longdong is not Bashan, but it is also considered as Guanxi, and my uncle's doing Dong is also considered to be the master's heart."
Wufeng and Yingying were also startled, they thought they would go their separate ways after a few words, but they didn't expect the old man to be so enthusiastic, Yingying quickly declined and said, "Uncle is too polite, we are all away from home, my niece thinks it's still ``` ```"
Before he finished speaking, the old man pretended to be unhappy: "Could it be that my niece looks down on my uncle?"
Seeing that the old man's complexion was already bad, Yingying had no choice but to look at Wufeng beside her for help. It will also bring bad influence, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
The white-faced man quickly picked up the words: "There is a town in front of here. I heard that there is a restaurant in the town called Yingkeju, which is quite famous in Longdong. It is famous for its mountain delicacies. We went there just now. It's time to go and taste it."
Everyone turned their horses' heads one after another, looked back at the road and galloped away, and the white-faced man and the eagle-eyed old man took the lead in leading the way.
"Third, what are you planning?" After running for a while, seeing that there were no outsiders around him, the eagle-eyed old man frowned and asked.
"Senior brother, I think that kid named Li Feng is not simple. Let alone his kung fu is indistinct, but the group of people who came later are not weak in skill, and the guy at the head is even more so. Bufan, I don't think Kungfu is inferior to nephew Dengyun's. Also, this group of people act uniformly and don't need orders. Jianghu sects can't find such disciples. I suspect that they are all masters from the imperial army." The white-faced man Analyzing calmly.
"Then since they are from the military, there is no need for us to make friends with them, lest we get into troubles that are hard to deal with." The black and thin man, the fourth Yuntai, interjected.
"Otherwise," the white-faced man shook his head slowly, "I've heard that Guan Yiming's Liuhemen has expanded quite rapidly in the past two years. I think his Liuhemen was suppressed by the local government in Heshuo County two years ago. I can't breathe. Compared with the situation of our Gu family in Bashan today, if Fang Chengsong, the guard of Hejian City, didn't protect him, I'm afraid Liuhemen would have been reduced to a third-rate sect. But in the past two years, Guan Yiming seemed to have had a lot of luck. Not only did he establish a solid foundation in Hejian, but he even jumped out of Heshuo and went to the northwest to develop. You must know that the Xueshan and Tianshan factions are big factions with a history of a hundred years in the Northwest, and Liuhemen can achieve such a big momentum in just two or three years, there must be some mystery in it.”
"Third, do you mean `````" The eagle-eyed old man's eyes were fixed, and his face became solemn.
"His Liuhemen can expand its influence in the northwest with great fanfare, and there must be local government forces behind it. Otherwise, how can the Tianshan and Xueshan factions sit back and watch his Liuhemen grow?" The white-faced man's tone was quite certain.
"Third brother, I have also learned about the situation. Three years ago, the current Northwest military and political governor Li Wufeng defeated the Luobei people in Qingyang. Two years later, he defeated the Luobei people's iron cavalry again. The forces of the Luobei people were expelled from the northwest, and during this period, Master Li Wufeng used the army to suppress the bandits, and wiped out all the forces in the several prefectures in the northwest. At that time, the northwest was almost blank. They didn't have any power or influence at all, and they entered gradually later, and Liuhemen also took advantage of the emptiness at that time to gain a foothold in Qingyang and start to develop." The eagle-eyed old man felt a little regretful, if he could understand the situation and intervene in time, maybe It can also occupy a foot in the northwest.
"Brother, although your words are reasonable, think about it, Liuhemen had never developed in the northwest at that time, so why can it gain a foothold in the northwest? There are some reasons for saying that the Xueshan and Tianshan sects developed in the northwest , but Liuhemen is not a local sect, so it is a bit unreasonable. There must be a powerful person behind it. As for who this powerful person is, we don’t know yet, but I guess it must be an important figure in the Northwest Military. "The white-faced man's tone became deeper and deeper.
"Why do you see it?" The black and thin man couldn't help asking.
"As far as I know, many of Liuhemen's proud disciples have joined the Northwest Army in the past two years. I heard that they have done well, and some of them have already climbed to considerable positions." The white-faced man is in charge of the Gu family. Intelligence and planning, so the news is quite well-informed.
The eagle-eyed old man didn't respond, he obviously knew about the situation a long time ago, but there was a look of jealousy in his eyes, and he sighed, "Old Guan will really seize the opportunity, and I don't know how to climb up to that place." On a high branch?"
"I have never understood this point. It is said that few of the senior disciples in their sect know the whole story. It seems that only those with the position of elders in their sect know the secret." Showing a trace of disappointment, Xuan cheered up and said: "However, now I have an opportunity. I observe that this Li Feng has a very close relationship with the butler girl, and this kid surnamed Li is escorted by many military masters. I see that the butler climbed up. Could it be that Gao Zhi has something to do with this kid?"
"But this kid is so young~IndoMTL.com~How much good fortune can he have?" The black and thin man didn't think so, but immediately changed his mind: "Could it be this guy's elder``````"
"It's very possible. We'll find out after a while." The white-faced man nodded.
"Oh, time is too late for me. I feel ashamed to think that Lao Guan can create such a momentum in the Northwest within two or three years. It's a pity that my members of the Gu family were suppressed in the Bashan Mansion and couldn't lift their heads. , Why doesn't this make me feel emotional." The eagle-eyed old man sighed with emotion.
"Eldest brother, you don't have to be too sad. It's also Xie Wuyong, who has such eyesight and cowardice. He doesn't pay attention to those who have evil intentions. Instead, he treats us decent families like tigers. He doesn't want to Thinking about it, we are all people with families, houses, roots, and foundations. Would we still do something illegal? If we change the city guard, our Gu family will surely be able to regain its glory and return to its heyday. The situation." The white-faced man saw that his elder brother was a little depressed, and he quickly comforted and encouraged him.
While talking, everyone has arrived outside a small market town.
Just as the Gu family in Bashan was exploring endlessly about Wufeng's origin, Wufeng also slowed down his horseshoes, intentionally distanced himself from the advancing Gu family members.
"Brother Feng, why did you use an alias?" Guan Yingying asked her Ai Lang puzzledly. She knew that Ai Lang was careful, and there must be a reason for not revealing his true identity.
"Well, there's no need. These Jianghu sects have a complicated composition of personnel, and it's not very beneficial to make too many friends." Wufeng replied lightly.
"But the Gu family can be regarded as a well-known and upright family in the martial arts of the empire, and they have a high reputation in the Jianghu. They have never heard of anything illegal, otherwise my father would not have made friends with them." Guan Yingying was not convinced justified.
