With this idea in mind, Xu Bo'an no longer planned to shut out the mastiff.
Go back and put this guy back into the bonsai. When fighting, zoom in directly. It will turn into a super giant beast. How awesome!
Behemoth? Haha, that feeling of déjà vu against Ultraman’s opponent!
After thinking about it this way, I suddenly got a sense of the picture.
Thinking of this, Xu Boan couldn't help laughing.
Darlene asked curiously: "Mr. Xu, what happy thing did you think of!"
Xu Bo'an naturally didn't talk about bonsai, so he immediately said: "Haha, tell me I feel ashamed. When you gave me the Fengming Jade Pendant earlier, I originally said that I would help you figure out who was responsible for the incident between you and Dasha. I didn’t expect that Brian would now hire his own workers. Suddenly, I I feel like I am a free prostitute!”
Xu Boan deliberately spoke of himself in a more vulgar way, so that Darlene would not always be so in awe of him.
When Ouyang Najie was studying in the Ethelia Federation, she had to get along with Dasha, and now she might even have Darlene.
If there is a sense of hierarchy between friends, it will be difficult for Ouyang Najie to have the feeling of making friends again.
When Darlene heard Xu Bo'an's playful words, she looked at Xu Bo'an in disbelief and said, "Master Xu, you are being humble. If it hadn't been for you that day, I would most likely have died, and that thing would never have belonged to me. . So it’s not that you got my stuff for nothing, it’s that I got it for nothing…”
Darlene suddenly blushed, although there was nothing wrong with her words.
But after saying this, it feels weird!
Xu Bo'an also saw Darlene's embarrassment, and immediately eased the atmosphere and said: "Okay, I think we are almost at Chinatown here. Just put me here at Huashu Group. You I must be in a hurry to go back and get down to business. Let’s talk about it another day.”
Because Darlene was busy going home to report and discuss countermeasures regarding today’s unexpected incident, she did not talk to Xu Bo’an. Keep being polite.
Immediately said apologetically: "Thank you, Master Xu, for your understanding. You must give me a chance to express your feelings someday."
Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say!"
After the two separated, Xu Boan took the mastiff and walked towards the residence arranged by Shi Heng.
Having just entered, Xu Boan was thinking about putting the mastiff directly into the bonsai when no one was around, so as not to scare Ouyang Najie when she came back soon.
Before he started to move, he suddenly heard someone calling him from the mountain temple inside the bonsai.
This mountain temple in the bonsai is different from other mountain temples in other branches. Here, Xu Boan can hear the sounds without the need to burn incense.
Xu Bo'an thought about it and immediately observed the situation inside the mountain temple.
In the mountain temple, a man dressed in coarse linen knelt in front of the incense table and stood up with a solemn expression.
"Grandpa Mountain God, I am the boss of Qingmu Mansion. I want to see Grandpa Mountain God. I want to see Grandpa Mountain God and show me his saint."
Xu Bo'an was confused for a moment, but before he could answer, he I saw the man getting up again and kowtowing three times.
Then, the exact same words were said again: "Grandpa Mountain God is here, the humble boss of Qingmu Mansion, Yan Xiaojiu, begged to see Grandpa Mountain God, and beg Grandpa Mountain God to show his holiness."
Xu Bo'an understood immediately. Alright, okay! This was because he had made up his mind not to show up, so he planned to keep knocking and shouting.
It’s just that Xu Bo’an is a little strange. How did he know that Grandpa Mountain God had manifested himself here?
It is impossible that he has visited all the temples in the world!
This is obviously impossible. After all, there are countless temples in the world. Ordinary people would not be able to visit all of them in their lifetime, not to mention having to kowtow, offer incense and shout slogans.
Then there is only one possibility. The other party definitely knows that the mountain god Grandpa of this place has performed a sacred event.
Thinking again of his official status, could it have been spread through the channels in the Shanyang County Yamen?
There seems to be no secrets at the Chenghuang Temple in Shanyang County where Xu Boan has appeared many times.
Xu Boan made a simple guess without going into details. He saw the man kowtow and say hello again, very piously.
Xu Boan then opened his mouth and said: "Why did you come to me?"
Hearing Xu Boan's voice, the man's face suddenly became happy, and he said in awe: "Grandpa Mountain God, sir. , I came to see you, first to express my respect, and secondly to ask Grandpa Shan Shen something."
Xu Bo'an said casually: "Oh? What do you say?"
Yan Xiaojiu. Explained: "I came here originally to investigate a matter. When passing by, I found many refugees gathered. After asking, I found out that this place was blessed by the mountain god Grandpa and had enough food and clothing. In such a disaster year, It is indeed a blessing for the people of Qingmu Mansion that Grandpa Mountain God appears at the right time!"
Xu Bo'an asked: "Does the matter you came to investigate have anything to do with me?"
Yan Xiaojiu kowtowed again and then said: "Grandpa Mountain God, I am here because I came here to find a skylark that was lost a few days ago! That skylark belongs to our prefect Sun, and it was last seen here. . I was ordered to search here.”
Although Xu Bo'an didn't know who Magistrate Sun was, based on the news that Yan Xiaojiu was working in Qingmu Mansion, he could guess that Magistrate Sun was the magistrate of Qingmu Mansion.
"Skylark?" Xu Bo'an repeated doubtfully.
Although he didn’t know what a skylark looked like, Xu Boan subconsciously felt from the name that this thing should be similar to a sparrow.
This place is located in the mountains and forests. There are not many things, but there are many birds!
So Xu Boan doesn’t know if Yan Xiaojiu has been found.
Xu Bo'an said frankly: "There are really many kinds of birds in this place. If you want to ask me to help you find this skylark, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Yan Xiaojiu He hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Mountain God, you have misunderstood. I am not asking you for help. I have already found this skylark."
Xu Bo'an asked curiously: "Oh? I have found it!"
< br>Yan Xiaojiu nodded and said: "Yes, that Yunque said that I met you, Grandpa Mountain God, here before, received your teachings, received your favor, and is willing to live here."
< br>Xu Boan was very surprised when he heard this, Skylark! Have you met yourself and been taught? Got a favor!
There is also this matter.
Why don't you have any impression...
Hey, no, it seems that I actually had an interaction with a little sparrow.
At that time, a mysterious master named Lu Changshan discovered the concrete city wall placed by Xu Boan in Kaoshan Village. He thought there was a city occupied by bandits, so this guy then Use a bird to send a message to an adult and suggest that you come here to suppress bandits! In order to protect the backing village, Xu Boan immediately raised his hand to leave the bird behind and took away the message tied to its leg.
Xu Boan also rewarded the bird with some ham sausage.
Could it be that the skylark that Yan Xiaojiu came to find was the same bird?
When he thought of this, Xu Boan suddenly discovered that Yan Xiaojiu looked familiar at first glance.
It seems that the young man named Lu Changshan whom I met last time in Wangjiazhuang, Shitou Village, north of Kaoshan Village, is very similar to the man in front of me.
Although they are dressed very differently and appear to be of different ages, their body shapes and movements seem to be very consistent.
For a moment, the looks of the two people overlapped, and Xu Bo'an suddenly realized.
This guy has obviously put on a disguise. Under his slightly old-fashioned face, he still has clear eyes.
The Yan Xiaojiu in front of him is basically the master named Lu Changshan who escorted the birthday gang in Wangjiazhuang that day.
It seems that the name Lu Changshan is fake?
But it’s not right either. Not long ago, Xu Boan heard from Yan Shouyi that a master named Lu Changshan came to Qingmu Mansion!< br>
In other words, the owner of this name really exists!
After thinking about it in this way, the real situation becomes clear.
The Yan Xiaojiu in front of him had assumed the identity of Lu Changshan. As for the reason, Xu Boan did not know.
In short, these two people must be the same person.
After confirming this guess, Xu Boan looked at Yan Xiaojiu with amusement.
"Yan Xiaojiu, right?" Xu Boyan said majestically.
Yan Xiaojiu responded hurriedly: "I'm here!"
Xu Bo'an asked: "You came to me because you want that skylark to follow you?"
>
Yan Xiaojiu explained with a humble expression: "Please forgive me, Grandpa Mountain God, that skylark is used by me and Magistrate Sun to send messages. It is the only one. I got it by chance. It can be trained to this point and used for sending messages. It is really not easy. At present, there are lies in Qingmu Mansion, bandits are in trouble, and rebels are sneaking across the country. All kinds of things, big and small, need to be sent by Yunque. I hope Grandpa Mountain God can help."
The beast master is also involved. With three, six or nine grades.
The beasts and birds domesticated by those with outstanding abilities are all giant animals, among which eagles and eagles are the most common.
After all, this raptor can not only fight, but it can also fly!
A player like Yan Xiaojiu who can only tame little sparrows can only be considered an entry-level player.
So this skylark is very important to him.
Xu Boan did not directly continue what Yan Xiaojiu said, but started a different topic and asked: "Yan Xiaojiu, do you know Lu Changshan?"
Hearing Xu Bo'an suddenly ask about this topic, Yan Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "To tell you what Grandpa Shanshen said, Lu Changshan is one of the few beast masters in our Qingyun Dao, and he is the head catcher outside the Qingyun Dao yamen. He is also Master Daotai’s master, so we usually call Lu Changshan Master Lu!”
Hearing this, Xu Boan was slightly startled.
It seems that the master Lu Changshan whom Yan Shouyi mentioned that he is quite afraid of is this Master Lu.
It turns out that the other party actually has such an identity and background, no wonder Yan Shouyi is worried.
Xu Bo'an was not satisfied with Yan Xiaojiu's explanation, and immediately smiled lightly and said, "Oh? Are you the master of the governor of Qingyun Daotai Yamen?"
Qingyun Dao The largest yamen is Daotai Mansion, and its highest officer is the governor, who is also respectfully called Master Daotai by many people in the officialdom!
When Yan Xiaojiu heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and said sincerely: "No, no, Grandpa Shan Shen misunderstood. His humble position means that Lu Changshan is Master Daotai's master. Therefore, he is honored as Master Lu!”
Xu Boyan chuckled and said, “But if I remember correctly, you and your party were in the Wangjiagou village four or five miles west of here. When I was escorting a group of birthday merchants passing by, your name was Lu Changshan!"
As soon as Xu Bo'an's words came out, Yan Xiaojiu immediately felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his face turned red and white.
He finally understood that Grandpa Mountain God had already noticed his actions that day. In this way, the note he sent to his superior requesting to come here to suppress the bandits, Grandpa Mountain God I must have seen it too.
Then he bowed his head and said, "Forgive me, Grandpa Mountain God. I came here on the day I humbled myself. I didn't know that this place was a good place blessed by Grandpa Mountain God. I mistakenly thought this place was a place infested with bandits, so I reported to your Excellency to suppress the bandits."
This is not what Xu Boan was curious about, and he immediately asked directly: "Let me ask you, why did the birthday card turn into stone!"
Xu Boan heard about the team that day The troops were escorting the birthday gang, and they were curious to see what rare treasures the Great Jing Dynasty had.
I never thought that those big boxes and bags full of rocks would be filled with stones.
This shocked Xu Boan, who saw this situation for the first time. He thought it was a special custom in this place. He even asked Li Kanshan about this, and then he realized that this was a big deal. Oolong.
Then after listening to the conversation between Lu Changshan and the shopkeeper who escorted the birthday card, I realized that the birthday card had been replaced by someone.
Hearing Xu Bo'an's question, Yan Xiaojiu's eyes clearly flashed with anger, and then he said: "I made Grandpa Shan Shen laugh. I have been investigating this matter, but so far I haven't found anything." I found something, just based on clues, I guessed that the birth dates were just an illusion!"
"Oh? What can I say?" Xu Bo'an continued to ask.
Yan Xiaojiu sighed and said: "I'm not afraid of Grandpa Mountain God's joke. Those birthday lists were given to the birthday banquet gifts of the left minister of the current dynasty by a second-rank official of Qingyundao who was idle at home. Sun The prefect sent me to secretly escort, but I didn't expect that such a big mistake would be made.
Hong Kong followed me all the way, and I was sure that there were no accidents with this thing along the way. So there is only one possibility. This thing was loaded into the truck at the beginning. It was already switched when I arrived, but this seems unlikely. After all, the inspection is the most stringent when setting off.
Then there is only one possibility. When those things were loaded into the car and set off, they were packed with rocks! "
Xu Bo'an understood immediately, this thing is a smoke bomb!
" Haha, I understand, your guess is that their so-called birthday guide has long been on another road. After being transported away, the stones escorted by people and horses along the way were used to disrupt the message, so as not to be remembered and something unexpected happened. "
Yan Xiaojiu responded: "That's right. It's not just speculation, I can be sure that this is the truth, because according to the investigation during this period of time, after the incident with these birthdays, the matter was not pursued. According to common sense, this is definitely a serious crime! So to sum it up, what the people and horses transported along the way were not birthday cards at all, but rocks at all! "
Xu Bo'an nodded, that's right.
But why did Yan Xiaojiu use Lu Changshan's name to secretly escort these birthdays? ?
Xu Boan was curious when he suddenly felt a calling feeling.
Looking up, the bubble emerging in the air was exactly where Yan Shouyi was. Temple. (End of chapter)
