Chapter 318 - Opening of Shops (2)
Gao Yuan was stunned, could it be that someone came to the shop to make trouble today? So I rushed downstairs at once.
At this time, there were already many people in the shop pΓΉ downstairs, and the shop pΓΉ downstairs was full, but everyone's attention was focused on the outside of the shop pΓΉ. Seeing Gao Yuan coming down from the upper floor, the people in the shop immediately separated a road and let Gao Yuan come out.
I saw a row of people standing at the bottom of the steps outside the shop, about 20 people, most of them ranging in age from 20 to 30, all dressed as samurai with arrow sleeves, wearing long swords at their waists, and standing with horizontal eyebrows. In front of them was a large man in a robe and a shawl with long hair, standing sideways at the door of the shop, his hands behind his back, and his head held high.
And Ling Feng led more than a dozen soldiers, and they all stood in a row at the door of the shop, although there was no tension between the two sides at this time, but the meaning of confrontation was very obvious, so the atmosphere was also quite tense. And the street was also full of people watching the excitement and talking.
Gao Yuan came to the door and said, "Ling Feng, what's going on." β
Ling Feng said: "My lord, they ......"
Before he finished speaking, the big man at the foot of the stairs had already turned around, and saw that he was about forty-five to fifty years old, and his figure was quite majestic, and his shoulders were broad, his eyebrows were long, his nose hook was like an eagle, his eyes were deep-set, and his short beard under his chin.
The big man looked at the plateau on the steps, his eyes flashed, like two sharp swords as aggressive, people today did not dare to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Is Your Excellency Li Shangqing, the envoy of Daijun?" β
Gao Yuan said: "It is here, please ask the gentleman's name." β
The big man said: "In Xia Lu Jujian, I am here to congratulate the opening of the Daijun shop, and I also want to learn about Shangqing's martial arts, I hope that Lord Shangqing will not disappoint Zaixia." β
In fact, there is no need to say that Gao Yuan has already recognized from the row of people standing behind him, and the few people who went to the dog butcher's dog meat shop that day were among them, so I don't know what happened.
Although the other people don't know the inside story, judging from Lu Jujian's frame, everyone knows that they are here to recommend a fight. Although compared with Qin and Zhao, the martial style of Qi was slightly worse, the overall martial spirit of this era was much higher than that of the later Song and Ming dynasties. And Lu Jujian is the most famous swordsman in Qi State, and he can be regarded as a generation of grandmasters, and there are many disciples under him, and there are not a few people who know him in Linzi City, so many people estimate that there is a good show to watch today.
At this moment, I only heard someone in the shop: "Master Lu, what is this going to do?" I saw that Canghai Jun had come out of the shop and stood side by side with Gao Yuan, and the whale had also stood beside him, holding the handle of the sledgehammer in his right hand.
Lu Jujian was also a little surprised, of course he knew who Canghai Jun was, and although Canghai Jun did not directly state his position, it can be seen from his position that his relationship with the plateau is by no means ordinary, although Lu Jujian is the swordsmanship master of Qi State, but after all, Qi is a rich and powerful businessman like Canghai Jun, Lu Jujian also has some taboos. Therefore, he also arched his hand and said: "It turns out that Canghaijun is also here, I don't know what the relationship between Canghaijun and Li Shangqing is." β
Canghaijun said with a smile: "Zai Xia and Li Shangqing are good friends, and today I am here to congratulate the opening of the Daijun shop, I don't know why Master Lu came." β
In fact, Canghaijun has already moved a ladder for Lu Jujian, as long as Lu Jujian follows Canghaijun's words, saying that he is also here to congratulate, or that today is the opening of the shop, then it will be said later, and it will be over, but Lu Jujian does not intend to just forget it, and said: "Canghaijun, a few days ago, I had a few disciples, and there were some conflicts with others, Li Shangqing insisted on meddling in this idle matter, and also injured one of my disciples, and at that time he also put down his words, let my disciples go to him to settle accounts, Li Shangqing, Do you remember this? β
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "There is indeed such a thing." β
Lu Jujian nodded and said: "Since Shangqing still remembers this matter, it will be easy to do, since the disciple is not good at learning, then I, who is a master, naturally want to find this face for my younger brother, and I can also calculate this account." β
Canghaijun also frowned, this is a little difficult to do, since Lu Jujian told the story of the grudge between the two, he said that he would not wave his hand, and after all, the two did have a grudge first, Lu Jujian also hurt people over there, and he had no way to interfere with the grievances between them.
Gao Yuan was about to speak, when there was another person in the store: "Today is the opening of the Daijun Commercial House, Master Lu will look at the face of the inferior people, so he will stop, everyone will sit down together, drink a glass of wine, and the previous grievances will be eliminated." β
Saying that, I saw Tian Chengsi, Duanmu Qiming, Tao Zhujin, Guan Yi and other four people also walked out of the shop in succession, it was Tian Chengsi who spoke just now, Duanmu Qiming then said: "Yes, it is easy to solve the problem and it is not easy to settle the knot, Master Lu will give a few of us a face, and everyone will turn the war into jade silk, isn't it better?" β
Guan Yi also said: "And Shangqing is still the envoy of Daijun, and the envoy to Qi is to congratulate the king on his birthday, and tomorrow is the king's birthday. Therefore, it is better to value harmony in everything. β
Seeing these four people, Lu Jujian was really taken aback, he only knew that today was the day of the opening of the Daijun shop, so at this time, he came to challenge the plateau, not only to regain face, but also to enhance his reputation, but he didn't expect that just the opening of an ordinary shop would alarm so many giant merchants of the Qi country. And on the surface, it is to make peace for both sides, but in fact it is biased towards the plateau.
If there is only Canghaijun alone, Lu Jujian doesn't have to worry too much about him, but with Tian Chenghei, Duanmu Qiming, Tao Zhujin, Guan Yi and other four people, Lu Jujian can't help but have a trace of fear, although these people are not official officials of Qi State, but their actual influence is by no means under ordinary officials, it can be said that if you stomp your feet, Linzi City will tremble. If he had known that this would be the case, Lu Jujian would not have come to the plateau to challenge him at this time.
Therefore, Lu Jujian also nodded, and said: "Since you have said so, then I can't help but give you a few faces, today is the opening of the Daijun shop, if you insist on challenging Shangqing today, it is indeed unreasonable, tomorrow is the king's birthday, then this battle is bet on the king's birthday, and the time and place will be determined by Shangqing, I don't know what Shangqing thinks?" β
In fact, it is difficult for Lu Jujian to ride a tiger now, because although everyone said it tactfully, the intention is very clear, that is, to persuade Lu Jujian to stop, but if Lu Jujian really listens to the persuasion of the people, then his status and prestige in the Qi State will plummet in the future, and I am afraid that he will always turn over. Therefore, Lu Jujian could only bite the bullet, regardless of the faces of these people, and still challenged the plateau. It's just that the time of the challenge is postponed to after Qi Wangjian's birthday.
But when he said this, he actually cut everyone's face, so the faces of several people also became very ugly, Canghai Jun was about to speak, Gao Yuan Ji said: "Everyone, please listen to me." I know everyone's kindness, but since Master Lu is here like this, naturally he can't go back like this because of a few words from you, in that case, he has no way to explain to his disciples. In my opinion, there is no need to choose another day, just set it for today. The right is to open a shop for Daijun and join in the fun. Please also be here as a witness. β
Canghai Jun was stunned for a moment, and said: "Lord Shangqing, I'm afraid this is not very good, in case it ......"
Gao Yuan said: "You don't need to say more, I have already decided to accept Master Lu's challenge now, and I will never regret it, so please don't persuade me anymore." β
Yesterday, Canghai Jun came to talk with Tian Kezang all night, and he had a new understanding of Gao Yuan, knowing that he had saved Tian Kezang and his martial arts were quite high, since he dared to accept Lu Jujian's challenge, he was naturally a little sure, so he had to nod and said: "Okay, since Lord Shangqing said so, then we naturally have to respect Lord Shangqing's opinion, please rest assured, we will definitely give a fair witness to Lord Shangqing." However, he only said that he was witnessing for the plateau, and deliberately did not mention Lu Jujian, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with Lu Jujian.
Everyone saw that Gao Yuan was so resolute, and what Canghai Jun said, of course, it was not good to say anything else, so they all nodded one after another, and Tian Chengsi also said: "Okay, since Lord Shangqing insists on accepting Master Lu's challenge, of course we will not stop it, so let's come and testify, if Lord Shangqing has any harm, then when I see the king in the future, I can explain today's situation to the king." β
Lu Jujian's face changed slightly, of course he understood that he had completely offended these giants, whether they won or lost this battle, they probably would not spare themselves lightly, if the plateau was damaged in this battle, then they would definitely attack themselves in front of Qi Wangjian, so that they could not gain a foothold in Qi State. Of course, he is not without a chance, if he can defeat the plateau in this battle, but not damage the plateau, which not only adds glory to the Qi country, but also does not damage the face of the Qi country, he can not only continue to gain a foothold in the Qi country, maybe he can also get the appreciation of Qi Wangjian. It's just that it's really very difficult to do this, after all, Gao Yuan is not a weak person, if he can't damage Gao Yuan because of his concerns, he will shrink back in a duel, then he may lose himself.
And in Lu Jujian's mentality of gaining and losing, Ling Feng had already commanded the soldiers to clear out a field in the street, and Gao Yuan came to the middle of the field and said, "Master Lu, please." β
Lu Jujian gritted his teeth, expelled other thoughts from his mind, and also came to the middle of the venue.
