Chapter 983: Dotting the Relationship
"I see, then some of the things he did before make sense, especially the relationship with the Floating Cloud Sect. The cronie said.
"Now is not the time to say that. Hu Wo thought for a while and said, "I'm wondering if he came to find me, will it have something to do with His Highness." ”
"My lord, it's possible. The cronies said with a solemn face, "I think that Yao Qile was planted in his hands at the beginning." My lord, I'm more worried about whether the matter over there of the second master will have something to do with this surnamed Lin?"
"What do you want to say?" said Hu Wo's face changed slightly.
"Since the surname Lin is in the caravan, there must be a master in this caravan who secretly protects him, and the villain is worried~~"
He didn't say any more, believing that the adults knew exactly what he was trying to express.
Before, the adults and themselves sent six masters to assist Zhou Li, and they felt that it was foolproof.
But at that time, they didn't expect Lin Xiqi to be in it at all.
If they knew that Lin Xiqi was also in the caravan, they would definitely not move this caravan.
Even if you want to move, it won't be just these six masters.
Hu Wo's heart sank, there was no news of Zhou Li now, and the caravan of the Quartet Firm had safely entered the city, so there was another bad possibility for him.
It's Zhou Li who is afraid that they are in big trouble, not the caravan that has not encountered the Quartet merchants.
"It's too early to say this, this kid surnamed Lin came to us, maybe there was something else, we were thinking too much. You and I will go over together, and it will not be too late for Zhou Li to contact him later. Huwo said.
"Yes, sir. ”
He just mentioned this possibility a little bit.
Not long after Lin Xiqi sat down, he heard a hearty laugh outside.
"What a rarity. As soon as the words fell, Hu Wo stepped into the VIP room.
"Lord Lin?"
"Lord Hu?"
Of course, Hu Wo knew that the young and excessive boy in front of him was Lin Xiqi, the county warden of Dunhuang County, and he had seen the portrait.
Even if he hadn't seen the portrait, Hu Wo could know which one was Lin Xiqi.
There were two people here, just he was sitting in a chair, and another middle-aged man was standing behind him, obviously not.
In fact, it can be seen just by age.
And Lin Xiqi also knew that the fat man in his fifties who came in first and was wearing civilian clothes was Hu Wo.
As for the person who followed Hu Wo, Cui You found that the other party's skills were not weak.
It seems that even if the other party is not Hu Wo's guard, he is also a cronie.
Hu Wo's appearance is very different from Zhou Li, if the two are put together, no one will believe that the two of them are brothers.
"The little brother took the liberty to visit, and asked Lord Hu for forgiveness. Lin Xiqi said with a smile.
"Guilty, of course you're guilty. Hu Wo said in a deep voice, "You must know that you Lord Lin are coming, and I have to go out to greet you, brother." Doesn't it seem like I'm too lazy now?"
"It's all my brother's fault. Lin Xiqi hurriedly said.
"Haha~~" Hu Wo laughed and said, "Sit, let's sit down and talk, when I came over just now, I had already instructed the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and I decided to have a drink with Brother Lin." ”
"Lord Hu is really polite. ”
"I'm calling you brother, don't shout as an adult, show your life, I'm a few years older, just call Brother Hu." I know that you are originally from the rivers and lakes, so it should be more cordial to shout like this. Huwo said.
Officials, especially civil officials, are generally rarely referred to as big brothers, and often use 'so-and-so brother'.
Lin Xiqi heard the meaning of Hu Wo's words.
Hu Wa specifically mentioned that he was once a person in the rivers and lakes, which means that he wanted to tell himself that he knew that he was the junior disciple of the Fuyun Sect, and he knew a lot of things.
For this, Lin Xiqi is not surprised.
As a person who is important to the three princes, it is natural that Hu Wo is well-informed.
Even if he didn't have the channels to learn about himself, the third prince would probably tell some.
"That little brother might as well be respectful, Brother Hu, the little brother entered Beijing this time, just passing by Fengshan County, and came to pay a visit. Of course, there is also something that wants to trouble Big Brother. Lin Xiqi paused as he spoke, and glanced at the person beside Hu Wo.
"Brother Lin, he is an old man in the house, it doesn't matter if you say anything. Huwo said.
"That's right. Lin Xiqi continued, "Presumably, eldest brother knows something about my affairs in Dunhuang County, right?"
Hu Wo nodded and said, "I know a little, but not much, I don't know what the elder brother is referring to?"
"Quartet Firm. Lin Xiqi said, "Don't hide it from Big Brother, these Quartet firms have a share of the Floating Cloud Sect, and Big Brother Hu should know the relationship between the younger brother and the Floating Cloud Sect." When the caravan of the Quartet went to the capital, the eldest brother's Fengshan County was the only way to go, so the younger brother came here this time in the hope that the eldest brother would be able to take more care of it in the future. ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man behind Lin Xiqi immediately stepped forward, walked in front of Hu Wo, and presented a delicate small box with both hands.
"Brother Lin, what are you?"
"Brother Hu, the younger brother is also handed over on behalf of the younger brother, this is a little bit of filial piety to the eldest brother of the Quartet firm, and I hope that the eldest brother will not refuse. Lin Xiqi said.
Hu Wo stared at Lin Xiqi for a while, nodded, and motioned for the person next to him to take the box.
"Brother Lin, you are so polite. Hu Wo said, "This matter is very easy, as long as the elder brother says a word, in the future, the caravan of the Quartet will be on the land of Fengshan County, and no one will dare to embarrass it." As long as it is a caravan of the Quartet Firm, I will let the people below escort it. ”
"Then thank you, big brother. It's really that the Quartet is very jealous of the Fengshan bandits, and now that there are officers and soldiers escorting them, it's no problem to think about it. Lin Xiqi said.
Hu Wo's heart was shocked, he was now a little sensitive to the Fengshan bandits, especially from Lin Xiqi's mouth
However, he secretly looked at it and found that Lin Xiqi seemed to be very natural, and he didn't deliberately allude to anything, it seemed that he was thinking too much.
"A group of little thieves, Brother Lin doesn't have to worry about it at all. Hu Wo waved his hand and said, "If there is anything else that my brother has to do, just say it, as long as my brother can do it, there is no ambiguity." At least in Fengshan County, you can still call the shots on this one-third of an acre. ”
"No, with the letter of the eldest brother, I can also explain this matter to the Quartet Firm. Lin Xiqi said with a smile, "Over the years, the Quartet has made a fortune in the Western Regions, and I believe that in the future, I will be filial to my eldest brother, and I have to ask my eldest brother to take care of it." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Hu Wouhaha smiled and said, "Wait a minute, you have to drink a lot." ”
For the silver two, he is the one who comes.
It seems that he is thinking too much, and the other party is here to find him to have some relationship, which is very good, and he has money to take.
Especially these Quartet firms, they are indeed quite rich, and they will find an opportunity to knock him hard in the future.
"That little brother gave up his life to accompany the gentleman. I heard that the wine in Fengshan County is good. ”
"That's natural, brother, I still have a few jars of treasured good wine. "You go to the cellar first and get the wine ready." ”
"Yes, my lord, the villain will go. The cronie immediately stepped back.
Lin Xiqi was a little funny in his heart, Hu Wo was really ready to invite himself.
I didn't tell the kitchen at all just now, it was just a polite word, and now I let this man go to inform.
Lin Xiqi knew it, but he really wanted to eat Hu Wo's banquet.
Because he came here this time to have a good relationship with Hu Wo.
Of course, he had his purpose in doing so.
