The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 440 Doubt
"So, we will meet later." Gao Da smiled and cupped his hands towards the lion.

The lion didn't pay attention to Gao Jun, and his mind was full of thoughts about how to go back and explain to the master.

Leaving the encirclement of bandits, Gao Jun led his people and continued to rush to Shangzhou. There was no need to worry about the future, so there was no need to be in a hurry.

Riding a horse on the wide official road, Gao Jun recalled the scene that happened just now in his mind. Looking at the expression of the lion, it was obvious that he was not very close to Qin Zhan, and this leopard was Qin Zhan's personal soldier. Could it be that all of this is because of that mysterious master?
On the surface, the lion looked like he was here to rescue Qin Zhan, but judging by his expression and hesitant attitude, it was obvious that he was worried that Qin Zhan would go to see his Lord Hou, probably because he was afraid that Qin Zhan would tell Lord Hou what he would not say. same thing.

This master is really mysterious and makes people want to explore it.
Yingtou's cottage outside Shangzhou City was still brightly lit as usual. Yingtou and his third and sixth sons were sitting in the study room, listening to the spies below coming to report the news.

"The head of the family, the third master, the sixth master, the people from Shangzhou City and Qin Zhan's people did not fight on the official road." The spies below reported.

"What about that path?" The third child asked.

"Third Lord, the brothers didn't dare to go in that small road, for fear of being discovered by the two groups of them. So, what happened on the small road, the younger ones don't know, only know that the group of people from Shangzhou City brought Qin Zhan After taking a short cut from the small path, he entered the official road, and was caught up and surrounded by Qin Zhan's men in a short while. Later, without knowing what the two sides said, the people who came to meet him in Qin Zhan's village retreated. The leopard and Qin Zhan, together, They were tied up, and then they went to Shangzhou."

"Leopard and Qin Zhan were tied up and came to Shangzhou together?" Yingtou stroked his beard and asked, "Is the news accurate?"

"It's true that it's back to the head of the family." The spies replied.

"It's really interesting. A Qin Zhan caught a leopard on the way. What does the lion think, or what does the master in Qin Zhan's village think?" The third child asked suspiciously.

Lao Liu put the teacup on the table heavily, and said in a stern voice: "Whatever he thinks, now Qin Zhan, the head of the family, has been captured alive, and Qin Zhan's right-hand man, the leopard, is also involved. It can be said that the copycat is a big blow, we might as well take advantage of it now, I have long felt that the dividing line between our territory and Qin Zhan's territory should be pushed in the direction of Qinling."

The sixth's words were to remind Yingtou and the third that, taking advantage of the unstable people in Qin Zhan's village, they could take this opportunity to annex more territories or something.

"There is some truth in what Lao Liu said, but it's an eventful time now, so don't make too much publicity. According to what Lao Liu said, send more than a dozen people out, and let's see how the master reacts before we talk about it." Yingtou said : "Third brother, you are cautious and considerate, you should ask someone to handle this matter yourself."

"Yes, the head of the family." The third child clapped his hands in response.

"Remember, don't be greedy for meritorious deeds." Yingtou instructed worriedly.

"En." The third child nodded.

"Lao Liu." Afterwards, Yingtou's gaze was placed on Lao Liu again: "These two days you took your brothers down the mountain, closely inspected the movements at the bottom of the mountain, and watched every move in Qinling, what's unusual? , Discuss with me and the third child immediately, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, boss." The sixth child also replied with a serious expression.

"In that case, let's wait and see what happens." Yingtou said.

Now it's Dongshanhou and Qinzhan's two families fighting, or it's Dongshanhou and Qin Zhan's masters in the village. Now Yingtou decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Dongshanhou won. For his own village, It's a good thing, Dongshanhou lost, and his cottage didn't lose, but judging from the current situation, the chance of Dongshanhou's failure is not much.

Here Yingtou is actively thinking about good ideas, while in Shangzhou City, Xuan Shijing and Long'er are waiting for Gao Jun's news in the inn.

Yingtou has already sent someone to report, and told Xuan Shijing about Gao Jun's official affairs in detail, and Xuan Shijing was just curious, Qin Zhan obviously had such a good opportunity, why did he have such a good chance? But give up?
"Long'er." Xuan Shijing put down his teacup and called out.

"What's the order of Lord Hou?" Long'er stepped forward and walked to Xuan Shijing's side.

"What time is it?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It's already a quarter of Xu." Long'er replied, "Master Hou is worried about Gao Jun?"

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, if you follow the official path, you should also enter Shangzhou City by now."

"Maybe without the pursuers, Gao Jun will slow down when he is on the road. After all, it is already dark now, and it is inconvenient to drive on horseback. What's more, with Qin Zhan and his leopard, the itinerary is too short. It will be slower, don't worry, Lord Hou, didn't you also tell Gao Jun that if something happens to you, it's important to save your life." Long'er comforted.

Although he said so on the lips, he was also worried about Gao Jun in his heart, and now he could only say this, to comfort his own Lord Hou and comfort himself.

"Master Hou!" Shi Hu hurried in from the outside.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Shijing stood up abruptly, seeing Shi Hu's flustered expression, don't let anything happen.

"Gao Jun, Gao Jun, he, he is back." Perhaps because he was running too fast, Shi Hu started to speak, and started to catch up, but Xuan Shijing and Long'er jumped, saying a word , The seven turns and eight turns make people's hearts go up and down like this, this feeling is so sour.

"Where are Gao Jun and the others?" Xuan Shijing looked out, but found no trace of the team.

"People are in the backyard. A dozen or so people led the horses into the yard directly at the gate of the backyard." Shi Hu replied.

Having said that, Xuan Shijing and Long'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to be back safely." Xuan Shijing said, then turned around, and ordered to the shopkeeper standing at the counter: "Shopkeeper, let the guys below prepare the meals quickly."

"Yes, Master Hou." After the shopkeeper replied, he turned and went to the back kitchen.

From afternoon to night, it took a long time to toss, and everyone has not finished dripping rice. Even Xuan Shijing is just sitting in this lobby, drinking bowl after bowl of bitter tea.

"Master Hou, the man has brought it." The people from the back came in, heard his voice before seeing him, Gao Jun and a group of guards led Qin Zhan and Baozi into the lobby.

"Let's put other things aside first, let's all sit down and eat first. After tossing around for a long time, I am very tired." Xuan Shijing said: "Prepare meals for the head of Qin and Brother Leopard."

"Yes, Lord Hou." A group of guards clapped their hands in response.
