Wei Ran was stunned when he saw his acquaintances. They were separated for only two months, but it seemed that they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
However, bu Lanshan didn't recognize Wei Yanlai and continued: "this military master, Hezhou has just experienced war, the silk road has been cut off, and the goods in people's paper shops have been overstocked. Do you want to help people purchase?"
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, "the girl is right. The business road is cut off. The paper mill has not started for a long time, and the overstocked inventory can't be sold out."
When Wei was about to take out his mother's keepsake, he heard a bright voice greeting Bu Lanshan.
"Eh? Isn't this nephew Bu of Qixia sword sect? The last Double Ninth Festival was a farewell to Lingshi in Zhongnan mountain. I still miss it today. I really admire you for talking about swordsmanship that day. "
The speaker is a middle-aged man in a silk Taoist robe. He has a long beard on his chin and is very elegant. He has a gentle look and a long body. Four young disciples in uniform clothes and long swords hung around them.
When Bu Lanshan saw someone coming, he jumped off the horse and bowed with a smile. "It's master Chang. I passed Kongtong a few days ago, but I didn't go up the mountain to see him. I hope you'll forgive me."
When Wei Ran heard the conversation between the two, he remembered that the Double Ninth Festival had passed, and the Wulin meeting held in Zhongnan Mountain had ended, but he didn't know what a group of famous and decent sects had talked about.
When Bu Lanshan exchanged greetings with the elder surnamed Chang of the Kongtong sect, a Li's voice reached the bottom of his heart.
"This man is the leader of Kongtong sect. His name is Chang Xuanyi. He is also another soul grabbing node I perceive. Although he is now middle-aged, he is actually over 80, but he has deep skills and shows signs of rejuvenation. "
Wei was shocked. His hands relaxed. The shopkeeper took advantage of the mechanism to open the door. He even heard the sound of the door bar bolt.
This movement attracted everyone nearby to see it, and just saw Wei Ran's appearance of some restlessness.
Several disciples around Chang Xuan sneered, and one of them frowned and said, "the scoundrel in the Wuwei army must have been obsessed by Miss Bu's beautiful appearance, but he was like a fool."
Chang Xuan shouted, "shut up and stop talking nonsense! Martial nephew, you might as well go to the restaurant in front to talk about the river state boundary. Although you and I are all guests, after all, the old Taoist comes first. Let me be the East. "
Bu Lanshan said politely and left with Chang Xuan.
Wei Ran informed ah Li in his heart: "ah Li, try to eavesdrop on what they say. It should involve some events in the Wulin. The Xuehe venerable whom I dressed up unintentionally before seems to have an old grudge with the Kongtong leader. It is very likely that I will talk about the Xuehe venerable. I just want to know about it. "
Ah Li complained, "I'm pretending to be a wandering child in the street all day. I don't know how many waves of flowers have come to kidnap me. You can't stop calling me like that!"
"I can't be a mouse or a dog."
After a Li scolded Wei Ran, he saw a child dressed in rags and dirty quietly follow him around the corner.
Wei Ran forcibly opened the door of Cheng's paper mill and shook the door bars in half.
The shopkeeper trembled inside and said, "our paper mill has paid taxes to Wuwei army this month. Don't go too far, military master."
Wei ran directly photographed the jade Qilin Keepsake given to him by his adoptive mother in front of the shopkeeper. This jade Qilin is carved by the Cheng family's own jade craftsman. It has a unique mark, which can see the identity and status of the person it holds.
So when the shopkeeper saw the jade Qilin, he stayed a little. After careful identification, he looked at Wei Ran suspiciously.
"Where did you get the jade Qilin, sir?" Obviously still don't believe Wei Ran.
"Don't test me. The Jade Kirin Keepsake is the portable jade ornament of Cheng, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family and Li's flat wife. It was handed over to her son Li Dingguo some time ago. Do you understand?"
Hearing the words of Cheng's eldest daughter and Li Dingguo, the shopkeeper immediately cheered up, closed the door again, politely invited Wei ran into the interior and offered hot tea.
"It turns out that the military master knows my eldest son, but my eldest son is now..."
"Since you know his special situation, don't ask so much. I only ask you, are you loyal to the Cheng family?"
The shopkeeper said angrily, "what are you talking about, Junye! I grew up in the Cheng family when I was young. I had to be raised by the Cheng family to get my current status. How can I be unfaithful to the Cheng family? "
"Well, the eldest son of the Li family needs your help now. Are you willing to help?"
The shopkeeper said, "if you are in Guanzhong or Longxi, I will worry about whether it will involve my master. However, the town on the right side of the river is very close to the western regions, but Wang FA can't control so much. So please don't worry, eldest childe. If the silver is short, although the paper mill has been shut down for two months, there are still many silver cellars. Just open your mouth. "
Wei Ran pondered for a moment, "brother Li doesn't lack silver, but he and I are planning a big event. At present, he has just started. He hopes to get the support of his mother, but General Li can't know."
The shopkeeper was stunned. "Li and Cheng are a family. What great things should the eldest childe and Junye do, but they can't let my uncle know?"
Wei Ran thought to himself that his adoptive father was loyal to the imperial court. Once he knew that he intended to develop the military power and separate one side, would he agree?
"It's confidential. You can't tell. Do you know who's really in charge in Hezhou? Brother Li needs to talk to him in detail. "
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. I wonder if Junye will be free tomorrow. If you are free, please still come to my shop at this time and will give you an answer. "
Wei Yan nodded, got up and left without delay.
Ah Li went into the restaurant with an unknown Hu Jia. Because if you go in as a beggar, you will be driven out soon. If you become a mouse or a stray dog, it will be as eye-catching in the restaurant as well as expulsion.
It's better to pretend to be a selling artist to attract people's sympathy. Maybe you can stay.
In the restaurant, bu Lanshan and Chang Xuan sat by the window on the second floor. She found a place to play under their feet on the first floor. The music was fake and it was true to eavesdrop by magic.
But a Li's rhythm is really not bad. Even if he doesn't take it seriously, he also vividly shows the meaning of lamentation in a piece of Hu Jia's 18th beat.
Hu Jia's tone is sad and thick, and this song is Cai Wenji's expression of her life's tragic experience of being abducted to the grassland and desert by Xiongnu barbarians due to the war. In addition, the prefectures on the right side of the river are being invaded by Tubo, and there are many people fleeing here from Shanzhou.
Listening to this tragic song about the cruelty of the war, many people felt it. They couldn't help but wet their clothes with tears. They couldn't help looking at the girl who was blowing near the porch.
She didn't have the sad face of many listeners with tears on her clothes. Instead, she had a calm face and couldn't feel any look in front of her. In the eyes of others, this is the extreme sorrow, and the heart is not like death.
Many people sympathized and gave away a lot of money. But there are always some people whose brain circuits are different from ordinary people.
A man dressed as a housemaid leaned out of the private room and shouted, "where's the little girl? What a broken song! It spoils my childe's interest. Shopkeeper, hurry to drive this man out for my childe! Do you invite people to mourn when you don't do business in broad daylight? "
The shopkeeper was helpless. Knowing that the childe's family was rich and powerful in Hezhou City, it was not easy to offend him. He had to go to the store door and gave ah Li some loose copper coins to persuade her to leave.
Ah Li pretends to be poor. It's a gift of the fox. In fact, I scolded angrily in my stomach, thinking about how to clean up a group of bastards in the private room later.
At this time, I heard the voice of a young woman upstairs. The tone was not big, the tone was soft but confident and heroic, so that everyone in the store could hear it very clearly, as if it were told in everyone's ears.
"Shopkeeper, this song is played with great charm. Please bring people upstairs. Don't worry. No one dares to expel the little girl today."
