Lu Shanghe was still quite concerned and said: "Xiaoyao, if it doesn't work, I will accompany the young Marquis into the mountains. You go back to the village first. There is a doctor in the village, let him take a look."
Xiang Baiying smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, don't let me dampen your interest." Without saying much, he turned around and went down the mountain.
Lu Shanghe frowned and said: "Xiaoyao has deep internal energy and a good drinking capacity. How can he be unwell?"
"Master Lu, I have to take care of all the things to do with the gang leader. I have been tired from running around recently, and the strings in my mind have been tense. When I return to Yinghe Villa, I will feel excited and relaxed again. I'm afraid it's because of This causes physical discomfort." Qi Ning said with a smile: "It is not easy for a busy person to suddenly be free."
Lu Shanghe laughed and said, "What the little Marquis said is absolutely true. Xiaoyao is strong and strong, so there will be no problem." He raised his hand and said, "Master Marquis, let's go into the mountains to hunt wild boars."
The group of people went deep into the mountains, but Qining was quite confused.
He also knew in his heart that with Xiang Baiying's martial arts, even if he was unwell, he would be able to recover quickly with luck. Just then Xiang Baiying winked at him, which was obviously asking him to follow Lu Shanghe into the mountain and Xiang Baiying. Ying claimed to be feeling unwell and went down the mountain to rest for a while, which was obviously just an excuse.
Xiang Baiying and Lu Shanghe are sworn brothers, why do they have to leave with an excuse? But where is he going
Qi Ning was full of doubts and couldn't figure it out.
After entering the deep mountains, there were indeed more prey. Everyone was not bad luck, and they actually ran into a wild boar. Lu Shanghe obviously hunted often and was used to it. He commanded and mobilized to shoot the wild boar. By dusk, he not only shot a wild boar , and a lot of prey was caught. The wild boar was carried by two strong men. Everyone was carrying the prey, and the harvest was quite fruitful.
When they went down the mountain, there was no trace of Xiang Baiying. Everyone knew that Xiang Baiying might have returned to the village. When they returned to Yinghe Villa, the sky had not darkened yet.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw Lu Sheng coming forward. Lu Shanghe asked someone to take down the prey and clean it up first. Then he asked Lu Sheng, "How is Xiaoyao's health? Have you seen the doctor?"
Lu Sheng had already reported: "The village leader, Xiaohou Ye, has left the gang leader for more than an hour."
Lu Shanghe was startled, and Qi Ning was also surprised. Lu Sheng had already taken out two pieces of letterhead from his arms, presented them to him and said: "Master of the village, Xiaohou Ye, this is a letter left to the leader of the gang. Please tell me to hand it over when you come back." Here you go." He patted his head and said, "Yes, there is a brother from the beggar gang waiting for him." He hurriedly called.
Qi Ning picked up the letter, opened it and glanced at it, only to see a very messy line written on it: "I have an urgent matter, see you in the capital", without even leaving a signature.
Look at the scrawled handwriting, it's obviously very urgent.
Lu Shanghe read the letter, frowned and said, "What are Xiaoyao doing? Leaving without saying goodbye. It's such a big deal, so there's no need to call and leave like this, right?" He looked quite unhappy.
At this moment, I saw Lu Sheng coming with a ragged beggar. The beggar was holding a wooden stick in his hand. He came forward and cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, the owner of the village, the youngest is Kui Mu, the beggar's gang." Wu Yi, who is in charge of the wolf!"
"Manager, it was this brother Wu Yi who sent a letter. He read the letter to the gang leader, left the letter, and left in a hurry." Lu Sheng said, "He didn't even say hello to his wife."
Lu Shanghe looked solemn and asked: "Brother Wu Yi, what is so urgent that your gang leader must leave in a hurry?"
"Master Lu, the younger one followed Elder Baihu's instructions and rushed to deliver the letter." Wu Yi said: "A major event happened in the gang, and Elder Baihu found it difficult to make a decision. He knew that the gang leader was at Yinghe Villa, so he ordered the younger one to come and report."
"A big thing?" Lu Shanghe was very dissatisfied: "Is the sky falling?"
Wu Yi said hurriedly: "The little one is just a messenger, helping with big things. The little one doesn't dare to ask more questions."
Qi Ning also frowned, feeling that things were extremely weird. Today, in the middle of hunting with Baiying, he suddenly made an excuse to leave, and now he received a letter and left in a hurry. Qining didn't know if this was just a coincidence, or if Xiang Baiying had arranged it intentionally.
But what is the purpose of Xiang Baiying's arrangement
He came to Yinghe Villa originally just to save Xiang Baiying's face, but now it's good that the rightful owner is gone, so it's naturally pointless for him to stay here.
"Thank you, brother Wu Yi." Wu Yi is just a young disciple of the Beggar Clan. He is located in a world where leaders like Lu Shanghe in Xichuan are naturally different. However, Lu Shanghe did not show any condescension and ordered: "Lu Shanghe Sheng, prepare a place for Brother Wu Yi to stay tonight...!"
Before Lu Shanghe could finish speaking, Wu Yi had already said: "Master Lu, you have asked me to stay for a brief explanation. You have come back, and I have already said what I said, so you must rush back to the helm immediately."
Lu Shanghe said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about your gang leader's criticism. It's getting dark soon. Let's rest for the night before leaving."
"Zhuang Master Lu is kind and kind, and I understand the little one." Wu Yi said hurriedly: "Big things happen in the gang. Although the little one has a low status, if he can be useful in the gang, he still has to do his best." He said with a cup of his hand. : "The little one is resigning."
"In this case, Lu will not force him to stay." Lu Shanghe said: "Lu Sheng, go prepare some silver coins and let brother Wu Yi bring them."
Wu Yi immediately said: "Don't dare."
"Brother Wu Yi, you don't have to be polite. In a moment, the Beggar Clan is a cosmopolitan family. It's against the rules to accept entry." Lu Shanghe laughed and motioned to Lu Sheng to get some silver. Lu Sheng could only hold his hand and said, "Little Thank you, Master Lu."
Lu Shanghe then looked at Qining, frowned and said: "A big thing happened to the Beggar Gang, what big thing is it? The Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world. Looking at the world, who dares to provoke the Beggar Gang?"
Qi Ning was also quite puzzled and said with a smile: "Master Lu, if there is really something wrong with the Beggar Clan, I would like to see what happened. Wu Yi, I will go with you."
Lu Shanghe said anxiously: "Little Marquis, do you have to leave too?"
"Master of the village, you have eaten what you should eat, drank what you should drink, and got to know a hero like the master of the village. It is a worthwhile trip." Qining said with a smile: "The master of the village also knows that I have to hurry up Rush back to the capital to report back to the emperor, Wu Yi happens to be here, and I can leave with him."
"Young Master, this can't be done." Lu Shanghe said immediately: "Could it be that Xiaoyao left, so you don't treat me as a friend? What's more, it's getting late, and you really want to leave. I will personally take you to Chengdu tomorrow."
Qi Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "The owner of the village is too polite. Now that we have made acquaintance, he will inevitably come and disturb me frequently in the future. I don't care about the past two days. But when the owner of the village comes to Beijing in the future, he must be a guest in my Jinyihou Mansion."
Lu Shanghe sighed and said: "Lu is ashamed that he did not entertain me well. But when he comes to Beijing in the future, he will definitely visit the Marquis."
Lu Sheng brought some silver coins over, and Lu Shanghe said again: "Go and get the "Tianhe Map" that I collected." Xiang Qining said: "Lu knew that the Marquis was born into a wealthy family, and he would naturally look down on gold, silver, and silk. "Look, I don't have anything to offer in the village, but I do have a famous painting that I have collected for many years. The Marquis took it back to appreciate it in his spare time."
Qi Ning immediately said: "Master, if you are like this, I will not dare to enter the gate of Yinghe Villa in the future. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. If you are so polite, you will be alienated."
Lu Shanghe was startled, then smiled and said: "The young Marquis is indeed very heroic, so Lu is not cliché."
As the sun set, Lu Shanghe sent Qi Ning a few miles away. Qi Ning cupped his hands and said, "Master, please come back. Let's get together next time when we have time."
Lu Shanghe dismounted and held up his hands, saying: "Master Hou is determined not to have anyone to protect him. It's not easy for Lu to force me. Have a good trip, Master Hou. Please take care of yourself."
Qi Ning also returned the favor, and then he and Wu Yi fell in love.
The two of them were walking all the way towards Chengdu Mansion, and their flying horses galloped for dozens of miles. Qining suddenly slowed down his horse, and Wu Yi also stopped his horse and asked, "Master Marquis, what's the matter?"
"Wu Yi, are you a disciple of Kui Mulang Branch of the Beggar Clan?" Qi Ning asked with a smile: "How did Elder Baihu know that Leader Xiang was at Yinghe Villa?"
"I don't know, I just came to Yinghe Villa as instructed by the elders," Wu Yi said immediately.
Qi Ning was thoughtful, thinking that when he and Xiang Baiying came to Yinghe Villa, not many people knew that Elder Baihu was not present when Lu Shanghe caught up with him on horseback. How did he know that Xiang Baiying would be in Yinghe Villa? Heshan Villa? Could it be that this was a secret arrangement for Baiying, who had told Baihu Elder that he would come to Yinghe Villa in advance
Why did Xiang Baiying arrange this
When it got dark, I saw lights in front of me. When I got closer, I discovered that it was a roadside inn. Roadside inns are provided for travelers to stay and stay.
"Where is Kuimulang's helm?" Qi Ning dismounted and asked Wu Yi, "Is it in Chengdu Mansion?"
"This...!" Wu Yi was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "It's near Chengdu Mansion. Is the Marquis also going to Kuimulang Branch?"
"Is it inconvenient?" Qi Ning asked: "Your gang leader has made an appointment with me to go to Beijing together. If something happens, I always have to ask him if he wants to go to Beijing."
"The gang leader is afraid that he won't be able to go." Wu Yi said: "Master Hou, our beggar gang is all beggars and very slovenly. Why don't I send you to Chengdu first, and then go back and report to the gang leader. If the gang leader wants to go to Beijing, he will naturally come to Beijing." Go and report to the Marquis."
"Oh?" Qi Ning said calmly: "Are you the leader of your gang?"
Wu Yi was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't dare."
After entering the inn and ordering some food, Qin Ning wondered whether he should rush to Kuimulang overnight to split the helm, but Wu Yi went to the innkeeper to order horse feed and went out to feed the horses.
The food and wine were served, but Wu Yi was not seen back. Qining couldn't help but go out and saw the two horses still tied outside, but the horse materials were thrown aside. Wu Yi was nowhere to be seen.
Qi Ning immediately felt that something was wrong. He searched around the inn and found that Wu Yi was indeed missing.
