Riding the Pheonix Chapter 395: relative
When the Yang Guards entered Baimen Gorge, in a roadside restaurant, there were two people standing by the railing on the second floor, looking down at the team.
"Is he the one you are looking for?" The speaker was a young man in his early twenties. He is tall and strong, with stern features. Although he is wearing regular clothes, he has a fierce temperament that is hard to ignore.
This is Zong Rui, the eldest son of the Zong family.
The man opposite him was a very elegant man in black clothes. He looks about the same age as Zong Rui, and his face is even more arrogant.
"He's here, it means he is." The Jianghu man spoke with a cold voice.
Zong Rui shook his head: "I'm afraid you haven't heard of how tyrannical Young Master Yang is in the capital. We have detained his senior brother, and he will definitely come to our door. This does not prove anything."
The Jianghu people sneered and looked at him sharply: "If he came just to vent his anger, why did he cooperate so well? Before coming, spread the news first and make this meeting of yours a matter of course. Without feeling guilty, does he need to do this?"
Zong Rui was speechless.
To put it bluntly, by detaining Ning Xiu and then spreading the word, they were building a ladder for Yang Shu.
Half of the ladder was built, so Yang Shu took it and built the other half.
What this means is hard to think about.
Seeing that he was speechless, the Jianghu people continued: "We received the news that Master Di died in his hands, so neatly. Do you think he was silenced?"
Zong Rui was silent.
The man put his hands behind his hands, looked at the Yang family guards who were gradually approaching, and said: "I know that your clan is doing well now, and you don't want to get involved in these things. I can also promise you, as long as you help me find out. As for his background, the past affairs will be wiped out and never mentioned again, and you can still be clean and loyal ministers and righteous men."
Zong Rui finally said: "Seriously?"
The Jianghu people turned around and looked him directly in the eyes: "Seriously."
Zong Rui nodded, waved his hand, and the bodyguards who were already waiting there quickly got into position and faced the Yang family guards.
The two sides exchanged a few words with sparks flying, and those words came out from the carriage.
As soon as the words "Northwest King" came out, the scene was completely silent.
Everyone knows that these three words are taboo in the clan.
Three generations of a family rooted in the northwest, able to fight and win wars, this is destined to their transcendent status.
Even if the Zong family rarely interferes in government affairs, in the northwest, government affairs will inevitably give way to military affairs, and the Zong family will naturally be superior to the chief officials.
Such an existence will inevitably arouse the emperor's fear.
The Zong family has tainted themselves with nothing more than a reputation for being domineering and greedy for money. They would never dare to get the name Northwest King.
Having said this, Major General Zong Rui had to appear.
"Young Master Yang has arrived, and the young general is not far away to welcome him." Zong Rui came down from the restaurant and walked slowly to the Zong family guard, "We said goodbye to each other in the capital in the past, but I didn't expect that we would meet again in the northwest. Life is unpredictable! ”
A voice came from the carriage: "Who is it? It turns out to be Young Master Zong. Why, didn't you ask me to come? Now that Young Master is here, why are you pretending to be surprised?"
"..." This reply is really shameless.
Normally speaking, when Zong Rui talks politely, he shouldn’t return the favor and discuss right and wrong in private? How can anyone get slapped in the face in the street...
Zong Rui's face twitched, thinking that he had been the same for ten years and had never changed his temper.
Could such a person be the mastermind of the secret plot? It’s really unbelievable...
After a brief silence, Zong Rui said: "The visitor is a guest. Since Young Master Yang has come to Baimen Gorge, I will treat him well. The guest house at home has been prepared. Young Master Yang will stay and rest first, and then How about having a drink and chatting?"
A chuckle came from the carriage: "Wouldn't you have said this earlier? I have always been courteous to you. You sweep up the bed to greet me. I am polite. If you want to show off your power, no wonder I hit someone in the face first." ”
Veins appeared on Zong Rui’s forehead. He has already taken a step back, why are he still talking like this? You have to ask people to admit defeat in person, right?
Finally he could bear this tone and said, "What did Young Master Yang say? Previously, my subordinates were ignorant, so the young general served him a drink to accompany the crime, okay?"
"Young Master Zong has said so, how can I not give you face?"
Zong Rui breathed a sigh of relief and regretted that he chose this method of acting. It was like giving his face up to be beaten by others.
That’s fine, as long as we can make sense, we’ll talk about it when we get back first.
The Yang family guards entered the commander-in-chief's mansion in a grand manner.
Mingwei said in the car: "Something's not right."
"What's wrong?"
Mingwei said: "When I was in the restaurant with Mr. Zong, I felt that there was a Xuanshi beside him."
Yang Shu replied: "Isn't this strange? After all, the Zong family is not an ordinary family, so it is not surprising to know a few Xuanshi."
Mingwei shook his head: "I have a bad feeling. Anyway, let's pay more attention."
I have to say that the Zong family’s hospitality is much better than that of Liang Zhang.
The guest house has been prepared a long time ago, and all the utensils in the house are of the highest quality. There are no people watching too much, as if they are really distinguished guests.
After the Yang family guards have settled down, Zong Rui’s wine has been placed and he will come to invite it in person.
Yang Shu took Ah Xuan forward, glanced at him, and said, "Why don't you see General Zong?"
Zong Rui replied: "My father took people to inspect the border~IndoMTL.com~It could take three to five days, or it could take half a month to come back."
Yang Shu sighed: "General Zong is really loyal to his duty!"
Zong Rui smiled and said nothing and just asked him to take a seat.
After drinking the first glass of wine, Yang Shu asked: "Master Zong, how do you explain your detention of my senior brother? Now that I am here, how can I explain it to you?"
Zong Rui said: "Young Master Yang has come from a long distance. Let's not mention this spoiler for today, and let me do my best as a landlord. How about we? There are many specialties in Baimen Gorge that cannot be eaten outside... …”
Then the dishes on the table were introduced.
Yang Shu didn't interrupt, just let him say what he pleased, just lighting the fire and fanning himself.
When Zong Rui finished speaking, he said: "Don't talk to me about these things. Do you think I am so idle that I come to your Baimen Gorge to eat wind in the cold weather? I have something to talk about, and I have nothing to do with others. Hand it over and get out. From now on, the road will be turned upside down and everyone will go their separate ways. I am not happy to deal with your clan!"
Zong Rui: "..."
He endured it and said, "In that case, let's return Senior Brother Ling to Young Master Yang first."
He clapped his hands and told his confidants: "Please come over, Mr. Ning."
The family general took the order and left. After a while, Ning Xiu came slowly.
He was not tied up, nor was he thin. It seemed that the Zong family really treated him well.
Yang Shu looked up and down and asked, "Senior brother, are you not injured?"
Ning Xiu shook his head.
"Okay." Yang Shu stood up and left his seat, "My senior brother is safe and sound, let this matter go for now. However, the person in your clan who detained me for no reason cannot be so kind. Lord Zong, let's settle the accounts tomorrow !"...
