Section 3: Making Friends
A trace of shame flashed on Yingying's face, but she was originally a daughter of the Northland, and her mother was a native of the Aegean Kingdom in the Western Continent, so her surname has always been bold and generous, and she pointed to Wu Feng next to her and said, "This is my friend ''''''"
Before the words fell, Wu Feng, who had already dismounted and was on the side, immediately picked up: "In Xia Li Feng, a native of Yanjing, he now lives in Qingyang in the northwest. ”
The eagle-eyed old man's eyes were fixed on Wu Feng, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then the old man will call you Li Xian's nephew." ”
He also turned over and dismounted, and the rest of the people saw that the old man got off the horse and immediately dismounted from the stirrup, at this time, the more than 20 horsemen behind Wufeng had already dismounted and stood behind Wufeng.
The white-faced man's gaze had already fallen on the guards behind Wu Feng, and he also saw that Wu Feng was not weak in martial arts, but he was not surprised, these years were in chaos, the social security situation in various places was not good, and the children of rich and noble families dared to run outside for a few days, but the more than 20 knights behind Wu Feng made him feel quite uneasy.
These more than 20 people galloped wildly, to the ground, the leader of the thick eyebrows and square face, at a glance knew that the martial arts were extraordinary, what surprised him even more was that the riding skills of the more than 20 horses were not ordinary, all the brushes stopped ten meters away from their own group of people, and the leader of the group of people dismounted neatly with a gesture, that is like a person's movements unless other Jianghu sects in the military are absolutely not trained, even this riding skill is not ordinary Jianghu sects can be practiced.
What's more, the ensuing momentum of these more than 20 people made the white-faced man feel that Wufeng's identity was extraordinary, and he was thinking about it rapidly, if there is a wealthy family in the northwest region that can have such power, and can actually let the army serve as bodyguards for him? His mind is still stuck in the surname that Wufeng may be the son of a certain family in the northwest, if it is a local official, he will naturally not travel in plain clothes, and there will be officials along the way, if it is an army general, then how can he accompany his family.
"Nephew Li Xian, since you have a good relationship with the housekeeper, you are not an outsider, come, let me introduce you. The eagle-eyed old man enthusiastically took Wufeng's hand and introduced a few people around him to him.
The black-faced man with the scar is his fourth junior brother Yuntai, who is known as the "lone eagle" in the rivers and lakes, and has mixed the Yuan eagle claw skills to the point of perfection, and is called the "East and West Double Eagles" with the master of the Yingyang Gate of Huaiyang Mansion in the East China Sea County of the empire, while the white-faced man is his third junior brother Yan Qing, who is outstanding in light skills and swordsmanship, but is even more famous for his resourcefulness and planning in the rivers and lakes, and is known as "a sword across the river".
The capable young man of about thirty years old is his eldest son Gu Dengyun, who has won his true inheritance with his kung fu, and the Gu family's "Splitting Cloud Swordsmanship" has been quite popular;
Wu Feng secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be sincere and salute one by one.
"Uncle Gu, where are you going?" Guan Yingying asked casually when she saw that everyone's atmosphere was a little relaxed.
"Oh, my uncle's trip is from Longdong Mansion City, and I am about to return to my hometown in Bashan, why, it's almost the end of the year, where are you going?" the eagle-eyed old man smiled and asked enthusiastically.
"My niece is returning to Hejian from the northwest, and he is going back to Yanjing to do business. Guan Yingying saw that Wufeng was unwilling to reveal her true identity, so she said vaguely.
"It's almost noon, so let's take a break around here before we go." The white-faced man suddenly interjected.
Everyone was stunned, especially the eagle-eyed old man, but he knew that his junior brother had always been shrewd, and no one in the door could match, so he proposed this, which must make sense, so he also smiled and said: "Yes, I haven't seen Brother Guan Xian for a long time, I can see my niece today, although this Longdong is not Bashan, but it is also considered Kansai, and my uncle is an east, and it can be regarded as a master's heart." ”
Wu Feng and Yingying were also stunned, thinking that they would part ways after chatting for a few words, but they didn't expect the old man to be so enthusiastic, Yingying hurriedly excused himself and said: "Uncle is too polite, this is all out of the house, and my niece still '''''' it."
Before the words were finished, the old man was already unhappy: "Doesn't my niece look down on my uncle?"
Seeing that the old man's face was already bad, Yingying had to look at Wu Feng beside her for help, Wu Feng didn't want to agree, but when she thought that the housekeeper's [***] door was also a famous sect in the rivers and lakes, if she lost her manners, it would also have a bad impact, so she had to agree to it.
The white-faced man hurriedly answered: "There is a town in front of this, I heard that there is a restaurant called Yingkeju in the town that is quite famous in Longdong, famous for its mountain delicacies and wild game. ”
Everyone turned their horses' heads one after another, and when they looked at the road again, the white-faced man and the eagle-eyed old man took the lead in leading the way.
"Third child, what are you up to?" After running for a while, seeing that there were no outsiders around him, the eagle-eyed old man asked with a frown.
"Senior brother, I don't think that kid named Li Feng is simple. Let's not say that he can't see the depth of his kung fu, but the group of people who came later are not weak, and the guy at the head of them is even more extraordinary, I don't think kung fu is under the nephew of Dengyun Master. There is also no need for orders at all for this group of people to act as one, the Jianghu Sect cannot find such disciples, I suspect that they are all masters from the Emperor [***] team. The white-faced man analyzed calmly.
"Then since they are from the military, there is no need for us to have any friendship with them, so as not to get into any trouble. The thin black man is the old Si Yuntai who interjected.
"Otherwise," the white-faced man shook his head slowly, "I have long heard that Guan Yiming's [***] Gate has expanded its power quite rapidly in the past two years, and I think that in the past two years, his [***] Gate was overwhelmed by the local county government in Heshuo County, compared to the situation of our Gu family in Bashan today, if it weren't for the maintenance of Fang Chengsong, the defender of Hejian City, I'm afraid that his [***] Gate would have been reduced to a third-rate sect long ago, and it would be impossible to explain even if it collapsed." But in the past two years, Guan Yiming seems to have handed over the fortune, not only in the river to lay a solid foundation, but also jumped out of the range of Heshuo, ran to the northwest to develop, it is said that now in the northwest of the power has been so big that with the Snow Mountain faction, the Tianshan faction into a full momentum, you must know that the Snow Mountain, Tianshan two factions are in the northwest has a hundred years of history of the big faction, [***] door can break out in just two or three years to break out of such a big momentum, there must be something mysterious in this. ”
"Third child, what do you mean''''''" The eagle-eyed old man stared, and his face became solemn.
"He [***] Gate can expand his power in the northwest with great fanfare, and there must be local government forces behind him, otherwise, how can the two factions of Tianshan Mountain and Snow Mountain sit back and watch their [***] Gate sit big?"
"The third, I have also learned about the situation, three years ago, the current Northwest Military and Political Festival made Lord Li Wufeng defeat the Luope people in Qingyang, two years later, he broke the Luope iron cavalry again, and completely drove the forces of the Luope people out of the northwest, during which Lord Li Wufeng used the army to suppress bandits, and swept away all the forces in the northwest provinces, at that time the northwest almost became a blank, even if the Tianshan Mountains and Snow Mountain factions were there at that time, they had no power and influence at all, and they were gradually entered later, [***] The door also took advantage of the empty opportunity at that time to base itself on Qingyang and began to develop. "The eagle-eyed old man is a little regretful, if he can understand this situation and intervene in time, he may be able to occupy a foothold in the northwest.
"Senior brother, although your words are reasonable, but think about it, the [***] sect has never developed in the northwest at that time, why can it gain a foothold in the northwest? It is said that there are still some reasons for the development of the two factions of the Snow Mountain and the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest, but the [***] sect is not a local sect, which is a bit unreasonable, and there must be the support of a powerful figure behind it, as for who this powerful figure is, we don't know now, but I estimate that it must be an important figure in the northwest military. The white-faced man's tone deepened.
"How so?" the thin black man couldn't help but ask.
"As far as I know, in the past two years, many proud disciples of the [***] sect have joined the Northwest Army, and I heard that they have all mixed well, and some have climbed to quite a position. "The white-faced man is in charge of intelligence and planning in the Gu family, so he is quite well-informed.
The eagle-eyed old man didn't say anything, obviously he had already learned about the situation, but a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, "The old man will really seize the opportunity, and he doesn't know how to climb that high branch?"
"I haven't understood this, and it is said that no one in the senior disciples of their sect knows the reason, and it seems that only those in the elder position of their sect know the mystery. The white-faced man showed a hint of loss on his face, and he said with a twist of spirit: "However, now there is a chance, I observe that this Li Feng has a lot of relationship with the housekeeper girl, and this kid surnamed Li is escorted by many military masters, I think the high branch climbed by the housekeeper is not related to this kid?"
"But this kid is young, how much can he do?" the thin black man disagreed, but immediately changed his mind and said, "Isn't this guy's elder''''''"
"Chances are, we'll be able to take stock of him in a moment. The white-faced man nodded.
"Alas, when I don't think so, I think that the old man can create such a momentum in the northwest in two or three years, the old man is quite embarrassed. It's a pity that my Gu family is pressed in Bashan Mansion and can't raise their heads, how can this not make the old man feel emotional. The eagle-eyed old man sighed with feeling.
"Senior brother, you don't have to be too sad, it's also Xie Wuyong's eyes are like beans, cowardly as a mouse, he doesn't pay attention to those who have bad intentions, but treats us famous and decent people like tigers, he doesn't want to think about it, we are all people with families, rooms and roots, will we still do anything to break the law and discipline? If we change the city guard, our Gu family will definitely be able to regain its vigor and restore to the situation of its heyday. Seeing that his senior brother was a little depressed, the white-faced man hurriedly comforted and encouraged.
In the middle of that, everyone had come to the outside of a small market town.
Just when the Bashan Gu family was exploring the origin of Wufeng, Wufeng also slowed down the horse's hooves, deliberately distancing himself from the Gu family who were moving forward.
"Brother Feng, why do you use a pseudonym?" Guan Yingying asked her Ailang puzzled, she knew that her Ailang was cautious, and it must be reasonable not to reveal her true identity.
"Well, there's no need, these Jianghu sects have a complex composition of personnel, and it's not much good to make too many friends. Wu Feng replied lightly.
"But the Gu family is also a famous and decent family in the imperial martial arts, and they have a high reputation in the rivers and lakes, and they have never heard of any illegal things, otherwise my father would not have befriended them. Guan Yingying defended unconvinced.
