Chapter 349 Chapter 349: Why do you think you have a good face (2) [2-in-1]
"Pfft——"
When Gu Chi saw that the man could still hold it in, Shen Tang immediately lost his composure , the half mouthful of tea that had not been swallowed almost spit out. Fortunately, she lowered her head at the critical moment and did not affect Gu Chi.
“Cough cough cough, cough cough——”
Shen Tang coughed for a long time before he recovered.
Worried about being overheard, she roared directly in her heart: [Fuck—why did Gong Xiqiu appear here? ? ? 】
It turned out that a young figure very familiar to Shen Tang appeared on the official road next to the tea shop. This person has an excellent hairline, full heaven, exquisite and deep facial features, clean and delicate skin, and thick, long black hair tied into many small braids.
The long hair is gathered behind the head and tied up with snake-shaped silver ornaments.
He was dressed smartly and neatly, with a pair of ferocious snake-patterned iron armor bracers on his wrists, a shoulder armor on one side, and a skirt armor on his waist. He was holding a strong war horse that was almost as tall as him in his hands.
Behind him were a dozen attendants of various ages.
Isn't it Shen Tang's musical confidant Gong Xiqiu?
Gu Chi was almost deafened by Shen Tang's suddenly raised voice. He subconsciously threw his head back and frowned.
My lord is good at everything...
It’s just that his voice is too bohemian.
“Master Lang doesn’t know, how can I know?”
Shen Tang wiped the tea stains from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, his shoulders slumped, trying to reduce his sense of presence, and said in his heart: "Isn't Gongxi Qiu under the tent of King Pig?" This is Zheng Qiao's territory. Isn't he afraid of being surrounded and beaten to death when he is so arrogant? 】
Gu Chi recalled that Gong Xiqiu fought this and that on the battlefield. The more he fought, the braver he became, and his sustained combat power was almost beyond the scope of human beings. He couldn't help complaining: "If it really comes to a fight, with all due respect, It's not certain who will be killed..."
Shen Tang's imagination was wide open: [Is he here to assassinate? 】
Seeing that King She might not be able to deal with Zheng Qiao on the frontal battlefield, he chose to send out the strongest combat force to carry out a wave of assassinations?
But Gong Xiqiu is really not the type to be an assassin.
While they were talking, the group of people had already passed by Shen Tang's tea table, and Shen Tang hurriedly raised his ears to eavesdrop.
Gong Xiqiu waved to the tea shop proprietress.
“Bring some big bowls of tea.”
Gongxi Qiu was born tall and strong, which put great pressure on people in terms of body shape, but he had a pleasant appearance and a charming smile between his eyebrows. There is something wild and handsome about the young man, which invisibly adds a bit of amiability. Gu Chi heard the landlady's voice change from frightened to appreciative, and praised without hesitation: "What a handsome man!" 】
The proprietress came forward with a smile and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, sir, there are so many people at this time, there is no room inside. Do you want to take a table outside?"
< br>
Gong Xiqiu said: "Of course you can."
Coincidentally, at this time, the tea guests beside Shen Tang stood up and vacated their seats, and the landlady placed them here.
Wipe the table clean with both hands and feet.
After Gong Xiqiu sat down, a slender and short boy came out of the group he brought with him and placed a stack of exquisite pastries on the table. Although she is dressed in men's clothing, she still can't hide her graceful and slender figure. This is a woman pretending to be a man.
Shen Tang watched the excitement out of the corner of his eye with relish.
Guess the identity of this "boy".
“No need to be busy, sit down and rest.”
The “boy” said bluntly that he didn’t dare. The landlady came to serve tea. Gong Xiqiu asked her: “Store, how far is this place from Heyin? ?”
As he spoke, he also took out a small piece of broken silver as payment. Who wouldn't like a handsome, polite and generous young man?
The boss lady answered immediately.
"Not far, not far, two or three days' journey."
"Two or three days..." Gong Xiqiu murmured.
"Parents——"
The subordinate officer of Gongxi Qiu, who had a close relationship with Shen Tang, was sitting on the right hand side of Gongxi Qiu, looking at the sky, but he hesitated to speak.
Gong Xiqiu raised his hand to signal him not to speak, and held up the pottery bowl with the other hand: "No need to say more, just drink tea. After enough rest, continue on the road. I am sensible and will not delay business."
Hearing the words, the subordinate officer could only say: "Wei."
Tsk, tsk, tsk——
I didn't expect that Gong Xiqiu, a great young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looks like a talented person, is like this in private. Unruly! Hearing him ask about "He Yin", Shen Tang felt a little relieved - his friend has not forgotten him, and he is indeed a confidant!
Seeing the interaction between the two, Shen Tang suddenly imagined an emotional drama between the unruly and wild young general and the seemingly beautiful but innocent little maid, which was a combination of love and hatred.
Shen Tang is addicted to his friend’s CP.
Gu Chi knocked on Shen Tang's imagination_(:з)∠)_
Although Shen Tang only peeked carefully with his peripheral vision, Gong Xiqiu, as a brave warrior, was not a vegetarian.
When Shen Tang noticed him, he also noticed Shen Tang and his group. At first, I didn't think much of it, because the effect of them standing out among ordinary people was like standing out from the crowd, and they would attract passers-by's attention wherever they went.
But ordinary people often look at it twice and then stop looking at it, but Shen Tang looked at it twice and then twice and kept looking!
The subordinate officials are not as insightful as Gong Xi Qiuqiang.
But soon something unusual was noticed.
I felt secretly vigilant in my heart, and my hand quietly touched the handle of the short blade at my waist, but before I could pull it out, Gong Xiqiu pushed it back.
"What are you doing?"
The official said: "But that man..."
Gong Xiqiu said in a low voice: "It doesn't look malicious."< br>
If there was really any malicious intent, Gong Xiqiu would be the first to take action.
Hearing this, the subordinate officer had to take his hand back.
Outside the tea shop, the two groups of people are clearly distinguishable, and the water does not offend the river, but the atmosphere between them is slightly tense.
Shen Tang smiled inwardly: [Hey, he was discovered. 】
Gu Chi was speechless.
If Gong Xiqiu couldn't even discover this, the Four Treasures Alliance Army would have cut him off his horse long ago. How could he still wander around?
He was more curious about Gong Xiqiu’s purpose.
Assassination is impossible.
Not to mention that Zheng Qiao is also protected by experts and protected by the national seal. It would be difficult for ordinary brave warriors to take his life. Even if he really came to assassinate, the path should not pass through Lingzhou Yiru . Not to mention that he asked the landlady about Ha Yin.
Assassination pursues quickness, accuracy and ruthlessness.
How could he run around like him?
Gu Chi is more inclined to another guess - Gong Xiqiu's destination is Yiru! The reasons are also sufficient. Gong Xiqiu himself has a Gu mother, and Yiru Zhanghe is suspected of engaging in Gu insects. It is difficult to guarantee that there is no direct or indirect connection between the two.
Thinking of this, Gu Chi felt wary.
My lord and Gong Xiqiu are close friends in music, but this does not prove that Gong Xiqiu is a "good man" and that no one who can serve under the King of Pig has a simple mind, nor does it prove that Gong Xiqiu is a "good man". Xiqiu is friendly to them.
He has not forgotten how fiercely these two generals fought in front of the formation. They fought to the death and wanted to tear each other into pieces.
As his thoughts swirled, guesses popped up one after another. As a result, Gu Chi saw Gong Xiqiu at the next table tilting his upper body in the direction of Shen Tang, and asked, "Why do you keep peeking at me?"
Shen Tang said: "It's me who should ask."
Gong Xiqiu raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect that Shen Tang was not only not guilty, but also eloquent. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He said: "I didn't peek at you."
Shen Tang asked: "You didn't peek at me, how did you know that I peeked at you? Even if I did, but love beauty Everyone has a heart. This husband is tall and handsome, and he doesn’t cover his face when he goes out. How can he falsely accuse me of peeking? ”
Gong Xiqiu touched his face: "Am I tall and handsome?"
Shen Tang said: "That's right!"
Gong Xiqiu looked carefully at the young man's features.
Qishan made a disguise based on Shen Tang's original facial features, reducing the color by three points, making the facial features look much duller. In addition, he has grown taller in the past six months, and he is completely different from before. Shen Tang was confident that Gong Xiqiu would not recognize him.
I thought Gong Xiqiu would be polite, but after seeing it, he said honestly: "It's really not as good-looking as me."
Shen Tang: "..." "It's just that Xiao Lang looked kind-hearted, as if he had seen him before somewhere." He couldn't remember it for a while, but Shen Tang was not afraid to talk to him, and he was not afraid of teasing him about his appearance. , giving him an even stronger sense of familiarity, "as if we knew him."
"Meeting you for the first time is like an old friend returning home. The bright moon is new in the sky, and I miss you most in the morning and evening. Is this such a kind face?"
Gong Xiqiu's subordinate officer almost had a mouthful He choked on the tea, and the "boy" on the side was also shocked and looked terrified.
They have seen desperate people.
But I’ve never seen someone who was looking for death.
Is this teasing Gong Xiqiu? ? ?
Unexpectedly, Gong Xiqiu was not furious.
Think seriously: "What do you mean?"
His level of Yanling culture is not very high.
"It means that you and I hit it off right away."
Gong Xiqiu pursed his lips slightly and did not respond.
He didn't like Shen Tang's familiarity, but he didn't reject the young man's familiarity. Looking at those familiar eyes, a figure seemed to appear in his mind. Gong Xiqiu had an idea and looked at Shen Tang carefully and then at the people around her.
Ask: "Where does Xiaolang live?"
Shen Tang smiled and said: "He Yin Fugu."
Gong Xiqiu's expression froze slightly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he tentatively said: "Fu Gu Heyin... that is a really good place. I heard that last year, a new county governor came to Heyin. He was not very old, he was only eleven at that time. He looks like two. I also heard that after taking office, Sheriff Shen was very resourceful, effective in governance, and diligent in his work and caring for the people. Is this... is it true? "
Shen Tang patted his chest and boasted: "Of course it's all true. I don't know, Mr. Shen, but I am a subordinate of Mr. Shen. Rumors from the outside can only describe Mr. Shen as one tenth of the best. Let me tell you, Shen Jun, she...&*￥#%..."
Praise yourself?
Shen Tang can talk for an hour without repetition.
Gong Xiqiu didn’t even care that the tea was cold.
"Mama is indeed a great talent! I don't know, little man, but your Mr. Shen and I are close friends. We meet bosom friends in the mountains and rivers! We are going to Yiru on this trip! What a coincidence!" Gong Xiqiu ignored the subordinate officer who was about to have cramps in his eyes. , Wu said to himself, "Today we are destined, we might as well go together Are we going to take care of each other?"
Shen Tang said: "That's what I meant."
Gu Chi: "..."
Gongxi Qiu: "... …”
The expected tension did not exist.
When these two weirdos met, they had endless things to say. Shen Tang directly asked Gong Xiqiu the purpose of coming to Yiru. The subordinate officer was so anxious that his face turned red, but his general ignored him at all.
Gong Xiqiu and Shen Tang gathered at a table.
Let the landlady serve new tea.
“Of course I’m here to see Zhang He.”
Shen Tang frowned: “You’re also here to see Zhang Yongqing?”
"Yeah?" Gong Xiqiu noticed this word.
Shen Tang did not hide anything, saying: "A while ago, epidemics appeared in Tianhai, Heyin, Shangnan and other places. After careful investigation, we found out that it was caused by Gu insects. If it had not been discovered in time, this epidemic would have Don't know yet How far it spreads, how great the impact is. I heard that Yiru Zhanghe has done a lot of research on this, so Lord Shen sent us to Yiru to ask for relevant medical advice, so as to benefit the people under his rule..."
Gongxi Qiu, on the other hand, Never heard of this.
It’s just——
He bluntly exposed Shen Tang’s euphemistic excuse and got to the point: “Xiao Lang suspects Zhang He is the murderer?”
Shen Tang took a sip of tea and said nothing.
Gong Xiqiu said: "It shouldn't be him."
Shen Tang was surprised: "No?"
Gong Xiqiu: "Zhang He still has a conscience. "
The implication is that it is unlikely that Zhang He deliberately caused epidemics in many places. In other words, it was not his true purpose. There is not much else to say. Gong Xiqiu added: "It's just that that was in the past. People can change, what they hear is false, and what they see is true. Ma... Xiaolang still has to see it in person to know that my words are just a family's words and cannot be acted upon. Accurate.”
Shen Tang was noncommittal.
After drinking tea, a thick cloud came from the sky to block the scorching sun, and the sun was finally not so fierce.
Shen Tang and his party are ready to continue on their way.
Gong Xiqiu looked at the motorcycle running towards him with the reins in his mouth, and gave Shen Tang a smiling look.
Shen Tang: “…”
Climbing on the back of the motorcycle, the two of them rode side by side.
"With the war in chaos, why did Lang Jun come to Yiru to find Zhang He? Could it be that he is your enemy?"
Shen Tang did not hide his purpose.
Gongxi repays his favor with his enemies.
“I’m not an enemy, just some old connections.” Gong Xiqiu said, “I finally found out about his whereabouts, so I took advantage of the leisure time to come and have a look. After a while, I had to train my troops and prepare for war. I don’t have so much time to run around.”
The subordinate officer behind him felt the veins on his forehead beating wildly.
My general is really brave enough to say anything.
Shen Tang did not delve into the specific content of "origin".
After a while, Gong Xiqiu took the initiative to mention it.
“How is the injury?”
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment and almost didn't react.
He said with a smile: "It's better soon, and my strength has improved."
Gong Xiqiu's expression was full of doubt.
As far as he knew, after Mama left the Alliance Army, she sat at work all day long and neglected her martial arts. Her strength was definitely not advancing but retreating.
Just like himself.
If you neglect to practice, it will be wasted.
Traveling together in martial arts, sailing against the current.
"If you don't believe it, go back and discuss it."
Gong Xiqiu said: "Okay!"
They entered the city before dark and found a place to stay. As luck would have it, there are plenty of empty rooms in the inn. Shen Tang handed the motorcycle to the waiter and heard the sound of chains dragging the floor. Turning around, he saw a ragged young man taking away Gong Xiqiu's horse.
Although he is said to be a teenager, he is actually somewhere between a young man and a teenager.
Approximately eighteen or nineteen years old.
My feet are barefoot, my feet are big, and only half of my trouser legs are left.
Shen Tang said: "Is this?"
"The person who was rescued on the road was said to have been beaten to death in his hometown and was sent into exile. He suffered a lot along the way."
Gong Xiqiu took off his water bag and took a big sip.
Shen Tang said: "It looks like a good seedling. If you cultivate it well, it may be a good right-hand man."
Unexpectedly, Gong Xiqiu said: "He is not mine."
“Huh?”
"He seems to be here to find you." Gong Xiqiu said, "I asked the store owner about He Yin Fugu earlier, and I agreed to send him to you. I told him that I knew you, and he followed me. Oh. Who knew Mama was at the next table, so I missed a trip.”
