Chapter 231: Long time no see, Chief Steward!
Hearing the other party's name breaking his identity, and calling himself Daxia Mao, not Lord Rui, Gao Xianda was stunned, neither admitting nor denying it, and continued to ask: "This is not what you should ask! Who are you?"
Seeing Gao Xianda's toughness, the man smiled and suddenly said, "The land is strong and the mountains are beautiful forever."
Gao Xianda breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "The door faces the sea, and the three rivers flow for thousands of years. Well, I am Mao Shiba. Which hall are you by the Red Flower Pavilion?"
The man said, "I am a disciple under the Houtu Hall. I was entrusted by the incense master Yao Bida and the deputy incense master Jiang Yingyu to look for the hero Mao in Kaifeng City. He asked me to bring you a message. If you see you in the city, please tell you a message: The headmaster is here, I hope to meet you."
Gao Xianda understood what was going on.
He was wandering his whereabouts. Because he was going to return to the Xiaoqi Camp, he did not want the people of the Tiandihui to know where he was. Therefore, except for the mansion in the suburbs of Beijing, Gao Xianda did not leave a contact address for Jiang Yingyu.
But the headmaster came and wanted to see Gao Xianda by name. Jiang Yingyu always had to notify him. So he spread his hands and looked for someone in the city who matched Gao Xianda's appearance.
If these spies saw tall beards on the street, they would follow. If they were following ordinary people and seeing nothing unusual, they would naturally know that they were following the wrong person.
But with Mao Shiba's skill, they must be discovered.
They have similar appearances and excellent martial arts skills. If you know the incision of the Heaven and Earth Society, you will definitely not admit your mistake. So it doesn't matter if these disciples have never met Gao Xianda himself.
Anyway, Mao Shiba has been to the Xintangkou of Hoututang. These spies are only responsible for notifying the specific location, and they will not go back to Hoututang, but will continue to wander the streets. Therefore, even if people with ulterior motives are lucky enough to know their cut, or want to follow the clues to find Hoututang and arrest Chen Jinnan, it is unlikely.
After the spy informed Gao Xianda, he turned around and left. Gao Xianda did not follow him, and the spy disappeared after a few twists and turns.
Chen Jinnan is a person that Gao Xianda respects more. Since he took the initiative to ask for a meeting with Gao Xianda, Gao Xianda naturally has no reason not to go.
So Gao Xianda cleaned up and stopped, went back to the cavalry camp first, notifying the soldiers, and not leaving for the time being.
The soldiers all felt that the commander had been very strange in the past few days. They issued a confinement order and canceled it; they announced that it was about to start, and they would not leave again. They didn't know what they wanted to do. However, Gao Xianda was their supreme leader, and the ideas of the superiors were not something that the people below could guess casually. So they had no choice but to accept it.
Even the four generals were quite puzzled by Gao Xianda's current behavior, so Gao Xianda had to explain to them: "There is suddenly an important thing to deal with. You should prepare for the march first, and I will be back in three or two days."
Afterwards, Gao Xianda did not take his entourage, and rode his horse to the entrance of the new hall of Hoututang.
Chen Jinnan indeed came to Henan's boundary.
Gao Xianda entered the Hoututang, and after talking to the little brother who was in the door, someone immediately went in to report. Not long after, Chen Jinnan brought a few incense masters and the deputy incense masters to greet them.
"Hiss Mao!" As soon as Chen Jinnan appeared, he could immediately give people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
"Headmaster." Gao Xianda hurriedly greeted Chen Jinnan.
Most of these incense masters Gao Xianda had seen, but some of them had not come. Gao Xianda greeted them one by one, and everyone joined hands to enter the conference hall and took a seat with the guests.
Chen Jinnan has been here for several days. This time he mainly came to pay condolences to Wu Liuqi.
"Hey, I can't calculate it properly." Chen Jinnan blamed himself, "If I had known in advance and explained the matter clearly with the hero of the old man, it would probably not have caused such a tragedy."
Gao Xianda said: "Don't blame yourself. Then Gui Xinshu is considered a hero? He instigated his son to do evil, did things without discrimination, and became Wu Sangui's lackey. If such a person can be called a hero, wouldn't it disappoint the heroes of the world?"
Gao Xianda's meaning is very obvious. I killed Gui Xinshu, and I took revenge for my elder brother Wu Liuqi. I did it right.
Sure enough, after Chen Jinnan blamed himself, he began to appreciate Gao Xianda's behavior.
He said that Gui Xinshu's hero is very good, mainly to show that his martial arts are too high. Gao Xianda was able to bravely cut off the rear for his brothers. After Wu Liuqi's sacrifice, he could still desperately avenge him. He highly praised Gao Xianda's behavior and expressed enough trust to Gao Xianda.
Of course, the incense master and the deputy incense master present also expressed admiration for Gao Xianda's heroic behavior.
After chatting for a while, everyone went to Wu Liuqi's tomb to worship and express their grief.
After worshiping, Chen Jinnan took Gao Xianda to the inner courtyard, stepped back from his servants, and wanted to chat with Gao Xianda alone.
Gao Xianda naturally cannot get it.
"Hiss Mao, I have a heartless request. I wonder if you are willing?" Chen Jinnan said.
Gao Xianda clasped his fists and said, "Why should the head of the head be so polite? If there is anything, just give me the order."
"It's a big deal at this time, so I'll start with you from scratch." Chen Jinnan, "Although I am the head of the Tiandi Society, Chen Jinnan is just a pseudonym. My real name is Chen Yonghua, and I am a retainer of the Yanping County Prince's Mansion."
Gao Xianda actually knew that Chen Jinnan and the Tiandihui he represented were actually representatives of Taiwan's anti-Qing forces. But at this time, he was still a little flattered when he heard Chen Jinnan tell him in person. He expressed his feelings for Chen Jinnan's trust.
Chen Jinnan said: "I was sent to various provinces in the mainland to carry out activities, but recently the Prince's Mansion in Yanping County seems to be unstable. The prince has never had a clear attitude towards the identity of the heir. The prince Zheng Kezang is older, mature and steady, but he is a concubine. The legitimate son Zheng Keshuang is also an ineffective person, and there are mostly treacherous villains around him. The prince sent people to send me letters to go back to discuss state affairs several times, probably to discuss the matter of establishing a crown prince."
Gao Xianda said: "Master, if you have something to do, just go back. I believe that the incense masters of each hall can manage the matters within their jurisdiction. If there is anything that can be used by brothers, just say it."
