Chapter 113 When the wind blows, who will mend the sky

Xu You looked at the man who called himself Xiao Ling with a playful look, then turned to look at Gu Xi, and said with reproach, "Shuangyu, is County Magistrate Xiao Chun coming today? Since Xiao Langjun is his family, they should be arranged to be in the same seat."

Gu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "The magistrate of Xiao County has returned to Beijing to report his duties a few months ago. He Yi ordered his troops to send them over... As for this Xiao Langjun, he had not received any communication in advance. As for the convention, we did not make any preparations..." The implication is that Xiao and other families have no contact with each other, so please do not blame him if he is not careful.

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "I have traveled all over the country in recent years and passed through Wu County. It happened to be a grand event, so I came here with shamelessness. It was not ordered by my family, so Brother Gu doesn't have to be polite."

Of course, Xu You knew about Xiao Chun’s return to Beijing. He just wanted to see Xiao Ling’s reaction when he said that, but he saw that he was indifferent and calm. He didn’t know whether he was confident, had a good identity, or was determined in his mind and was not afraid of danger.

However, this person must have some problems, because Qingming saw that he was easy to look at and his technique was extremely exquisite. Although it was not as good as Qinggui Rule, he was also a master among the masters. Therefore, no one in the Gu family could find flaws--there was mainly because there were too many guests today, including 22 states of Chu, a total of 238 counties. Almost every county has friends, relatives, old friends, colleagues, or sent people to congratulate each other. Ninety percent did not recognize each other, and there was no way to distinguish them carefully.

Therefore, in such a family feast, people inevitably sneak in to cheat and drink. Some pretend to be gentry, some pretend to be followers, and some even pretend to be brides. There are countless scenes like this since the Han Dynasty, and they can't be eliminated or prevented. The owners' family will not make a big fuss, and as long as they are not too much, they will laugh it off. After all, it is a happy event, with many people, and there are old customs that have no big or small weddings for three days. The difference between noble and low family is not so strict. Once, a poor family named Wang Daozhi pretended to be a beggar and broke into the wedding of the local clan Yan family. He insisted on asking for three kilograms of wine and five kilograms of meat in public with his sarcastic lips and tongue. After eating and drinking, he left a poem to proclaim the delusion. Later, Yan learned the truth and did not pursue it. It was a beautiful story in the world.

However, who is a person who pretended to be the Xiao family of Lanling just to cheat food and drink, would have such courage?

Zhu Cong felt Xu You's hostility towards Xiao Ling, and was puzzled, but when he thought, the enemy's enemy was a friend, and a close smile appeared on his face and said, "Brother Xiao is so brave. He travels around the world and increases his experiences. He is much better than us who only knows how to study behind closed doors." As Zhu Rui becomes more and more appreciated by high-ranking officials in Jinling City, his status in Zhu's family has become increasingly declining. He is about to be defeated in this long battle for the head of the family, and seizes all the opportunities that can be taken advantage of, even if the person in front of him is just an unknown disciple of Xiao's family.

But that's also from Xiao!

Xiao Ling said lightly: "If you have this knowledge on two feet, it seems that you have not read the sage books too much!"

"you!"

Zhu Cong's face turned pale. He was so kind that he had changed his heart to his donkey's liver and lungs. He said, "Langjun Xiao, I have good intentions. If you have been angry with others, don't spread it to me!"

Gu Xi respected Xu You very much. He didn't know why he stopped him. He was not going to leave now, nor did he not leave. He wanted to speak to relieve Zhu Cong and Xiao Ling, but he didn't know how to say it. He was really at a loss and had no choice but to look at Xu You with help.

Xu You again tempted and said, "Both feet of books is the reputation of Yangzhou Shilin for Brother Zhu. The younger generation, if you say you are well-read, there is no one who can do it. Xiao Langjun traveled thousands of miles, but he still had prejudice against Brother Zhu like an ordinary rural villager. This would be ridiculous and harmed his family..."

"Mini!"

Gu Xi did not expect that Xu You not only did not say peace, but instead added fuel to the fire. He stood up and stamped his feet in a hurry. Xu You shook his head slightly, asking him to be calm and said seriously: "Shuangyu, the gentry of Yangzhou, is one. Xiao Langjun ridiculed Brother Zhu in person, undoubtedly humiliated us. I can't stand this kind of anger, let alone Brother Zhu, I can't stand it!"

Zhang Yu and other people were watching him. No one knew what medicine Xu You had taken wrong, and he publicly attacked Xiao without any affection in his words. Zhang Tong secretly hugged his fists and expressed his admiration for the surging water. Zhu Cong's reaction became funny. He was stunned at first, then confused, and then raised his head arrogantly, but his hands quietly tidied up his robe.

Xu You is showing kindness!

Hum, will you know how to please me? It's too late... Uh, it's actually not too late...

Xu Youyi said this truthfully, making Gu Xi unable to answer. The air in the room suddenly became very awkward. Xiao Ling slowly rose up, with an elegant posture, but the words he said were like a steel knife scraping his bones. He smiled and said, "It seems that I am an unwelcome guest! However, I am a little curious, Gu Langjun, when will the Gu family's affairs be decided by Xu?"

"Stay!"

Gu Xi was sweating on his forehead and could no longer remain silent. He hurriedly stopped Xiao Ling and apologized: "When you are a little bit quick, don't blame me, Mr. Xiao! Please sit down and rest. I will go to the head of the family to report." After that, he hurried away.

When Gu Xi left, Xiao Ling did not sit back to his original position. He slowly walked to Xu You's desk and looked up close. His eyebrows and eyes and hair were still the same as ordinary people, and there was no trace of disguise.

"Hangjun Xu, do you and I have old grudges?"

Xu You shook his head.

"But I have a holiday with Xiao?"

"I was taken care of by General Zhengdong, and got along well with the magistrate of Xiao County. I only respect Xiao and did not celebrate the festival!"

"Then?" Xiao Ling lowered his hands beside him, lowered his head, looked down at Xu You, and said, "Do you just dislike me?"

Xu You also laughed and said, "What's the point? Everyone knows that Xiao never sends people to a wedding with a foreign surname. The husband suddenly appears, and no one should think about why."

"Everyone in the world is afraid of Xiao's family like a tiger, but they don't know how many people in the mountains have only been hurt in a year? What they really should be afraid of are those people with human faces and beasts hiding around them!"

Xu You stroked his hands and said, "This is a wonderful and mysterious way. Only wise people can see it so clearly!"

The two were in a state of confrontation, and suddenly they heard someone outside shouting to see the bride, look at the bride, and then the gongs and drums were loud and the crowds were crowded. I guess the wedding team had returned.

Zhang Yu immediately stood up and said, "Everyone sit down, I'll join in the fun first. Zhang Tong, please follow me!"

Zhang Tong followed him helplessly, and the others also found an excuse to leave, leaving only Xu You, Qingming and Xiao Ling. Xu You smiled and said, "Do you want to go to watch the ceremony?"

Xiao Ling looked at him a few more times, turned around and walked to his seat, and said, "No, I have always liked to be quiet."

"A coincidence, so do I!"

Seeing that he could not shake Xu You away, a trace of murderous intent finally flashed deep in Xiao Ling's eyes, which was fleeting, but Qingming immediately sensed it, his feet were still moving, and his aura surged, like an invisible silk thread, tightly wrapped around Xiao Ling's whole body. No matter how he launched an attack in the next moment, he could take action and control the situation instantly.

"Little Grandmaster..."

Xiao Ling's expression changed drastically.

No matter what, he never thought that the lowly slave beside Xu You who didn't even have a seat was actually the little master who knocked on the fifth-grade mountain gate!

However, according to the information, the military marquis Zuoqi, who was born in the Yuan family, was promoted to the junior master in the early years. In other words, Xu You, a stray dog, now has two young master guards under his command - this is simply horrifying!

Apart from the Zhu family who had established themselves as martial arts, the clan may have masters above the young masters. The other three surnames rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and probably could not find a young master to take charge.

Xu You, but there are two...

Cold sweat oozed out of Xiao Ling's palm. Today's plan had been deduced countless times in advance, and countless emergency plans were made. Even Xu You's variable was included. Knowing that he did not lead Zuo Qi with him, he could do it all, but he missed a little master!

No matter how stupid a person is, he knows that the little master can affect the situation of the battle when necessary!

Should I retreat?

Xiao Ling bit his lower lip hard, and the smell of blood stimulated his brain nerves, driving away the thoughts just now. Retreat? Joke! In order to create today's situation, how many brothers died, and how could they take a step back?

So what about the little master?

Let him die here too!

At this moment, Gu Xi hurriedly ran back and said, "Langjun Xiao, the head of the family is welcome!" He knew how to do martial arts and did not notice the tension in the room. However, after such interruptions, after Qingming retracted his energy, Xiao Ling immediately relaxed.

Xiao Ling turned around, took out the card from his arms, shook it in front of Xu You, then took it back into his bag, bowed and smiled, "You Ye Yiguang, very good, this trip is worthwhile today! When I have met Mr. Gu, I will talk to Mr. Weizhi in detail!"

Watching the two of them leave, Qingming whispered: "Langjun, the cards should be true... But this person is indeed strange. Should I keep him?"

"We have no evidence, and the trouble is coming. Gu's face is not good-looking. We can't hold people. If we are really Xiao's children, there will be endless troubles."

Xu You thought for a while and asked the maid behind him to go to another house to find the three of Dong Zoroastrians, and asked, "Where is Wang Fu now?"

"Wang Fu discovered the movements of the Ming Wutian Palace through Huang San's line. He received a few days ago and led a large number of elite troops to Pengze Lake west of Shangrao County. No news has been heard back."

"Where is Ning Changyi?"

"Ning Changyi's Golden-winged Fighting Ship also went to Pengze Lake, and all the five spiritual officials were accompanied, and there were nearly 300 people at all levels of talismans."

"The Governor's Office has also sent troops?"

"The Governor's Office sent two thousand soldiers..."

Xu You fell into deep thought.

The Winter Solstice hesitated for a while and said, "Xiaolang, is there anything wrong with it?"

"I don't know!" Xu You frowned slightly and said, "Wang Fu is a smart person. If it weren't for the reliable source of the tip, he wouldn't have joined forces with Ning Changyi and the Governor's Office to send troops, but..."

"But what?"

"But Xiao Ling... this person gives me a very strange feeling!"

The Winter Solstice had heard Qingming talk about Xiao Ling and smiled and said, "Xiao Lang may be worried. Even if Xiao Ling is a fake, at most he would just come in to make trouble. He would either eat and drink or take the opportunity to become famous. In the end, he would learn the kingly way and humiliate the master's family by taking advantage of the opportunity of not talking about the ranks and inferiors of the new marriage. It would be fine!"
