Chapter 103 Concealment
In the ruined temple, Xu Shi sensed that someone was approaching quickly, so Lu Youji couldn't sleep soundly, and at the same time, he was always vigilant, so he woke up immediately.

He was about to call all the disciples to get up, but found that they were too tired due to the day-to-day running around, and fell into a deep sleep, so they couldn't be woken up in a hurry.

Seeing this, he didn't dare to delay, and cautiously walked out of the temple door, ready to observe the visitors before making any plans.

As soon as they went out, they saw Chen Mei and the two hurrying.He immediately thought that the whereabouts of the two of them had been exposed, and that an enemy was coming.For this, he couldn't help feeling remorse, he shouldn't have allowed them to wander outside.

Hastily going up to meet him, he hurriedly asked: "Chen Shaoxia, Miss Mei, how many enemies are there? How about force? Can we deal with it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the two people who were originally beaming were stunned for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, they understood and quickly explained.

After listening to the two's arguments, Lu Youjiao realized that he had a big oolong, and he looked dumbfounded, and said with emotion: "Oh, it's the old beggar making a joke! Ling Shan catches the gods, and the heroes are too!"

Hearing this, Mei Chaofeng smiled like a flower, and clapped his hands in agreement: "That's right! Although my Uncle Shen is in the court, his chivalry is by no means inferior to any martial arts hero! This time the three of us can escape from Lin'an City safely, and return Thanks to them!"

Looking at the two talking and laughing at Yan Yan, Lu Youjiao thought to himself: It's broken!The leader of the gang and Fang Shaoxia asked me to beware of the two of them knowing the real news, and now it is such a coincidence that I met the Shen family's team, what should I do!
"I don't know where Chen Shaoxia and Miss Mei are coming from." He decided to take a step forward, and he knew it clearly.

Chen Xuanfeng and his junior sister looked at each other with a smile, clasped their fists together and saluted, and said sincerely: "Elder Lu, my junior sister and I are here for you!"

"The brothers of the Beggar Clan have taken care of me for many days, and I will definitely remember it in my heart! If I can return to Peach Blossom Island safely and report to Master, I will be very grateful!"

Hearing that the situation was as he expected, Lu Youjiao couldn't help but secretly anxious. After thinking for a while, he tentatively said: "Chen Shaoxia, Miss Mei, there are rumors in the world that Ling Shan catches heroes! Now, after listening to what you two said, I know what's more It's chivalrous! I wonder if the old beggar will be lucky enough to go with the two of you to pay a visit?"

Hearing such words, the two were quite hesitant. After looking at each other, Mei Chaofeng explained: "Elder Lu, the two of us cannot decide on our own."

"Furthermore, we are in a dangerous situation now, and we have already implicated all the brothers for a long time. Now, Elder Lu might as well take his disciples back to answer his orders, and when the storm passes, I will come to visit again, okay?"

"Um"

Hearing this, Lu Youjiao pretended to be contemplative, but he was actually thinking about how to ensure that the real news would not be leaked.

After a long while, he shook his head, and said resolutely, "Chen Shaoxia, Miss Mei, I'm sorry for the old beggar's difficulty in this matter!"

Halfway through the conversation, seeing the ugly faces of the two of them, he changed the subject, and Wen Yan explained: "The old beggar is on this trip, and he is entrusted by the gang leader and Fang Shaoxia. If he can't meet Ling Shan in person, he absolutely can't allow the two of you to come. Leave without permission."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Mei and Chen Mei were both respectful and angry. The respect was that Lu Youjiao kept what he said, and the anger was that this person was too ignorant of good and bad!
But they didn't know that if it wasn't for fear of leaking the real news, Lu Youjiao would have let these two troubles go away.After all, the lives of brothers in this gang are more important than outsiders, right?

During the dispute, Xu Shi waited too long, and Shen Quan rushed over.

"Chen Shaoxia, Miss Mei, who are you?"

Seeing that the three of them were in such a tense battle, he drew out the long knife at his waist, just to make a move.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuanfeng hurriedly went up to him to stop him, and explained: "Commander Shen, this is Lu Youjiao, Elder Lu of the Beggar Clan. The two of us are here thanks to Elder Lu who escorted us."

"Right now he wants to go with us to pay respects to Uncle Shen, but how dare the two of us make decisions on our own. Besides, we are in a critical situation now, and we don't want to bother the beggar gang anymore, so we just had a dispute."

After listening, seeing the two of Meru nodded their heads again and again, and found out that there was an oolong, Shen Quan withdrew his weapon and bowed his hands to apologize.

"Elder Lu, in a hurry, I offended you!"

"Where is there! As the saying goes, those who don't know don't blame, Commander Shen is serious!"

Just as he was talking, Lu Youjiao rolled his eyes, as if he had an idea.

Immediately, he stretched out his arm, beckoned from a distance, and said, "Commander Shen, I wonder if I can take a step to speak!"

As soon as this remark came out, the three of them felt strange.After all, it was the first time these two met, so how could there be any need to avoid the one-on-one chat between Chen and Mei?

"This"

Seeing Lu You turned his back and winked at him repeatedly, although Shen Quan was very surprised, after hesitating again and again, he still agreed.

"Brother, what do you think the two of them are discussing? Do you still have to carry us behind your back?"

Looking at the backs of the two from a distance, Mei Chaofeng's eyebrows twitched into a ball.

Shaking his head, Chen Xuanfeng was also very confused.

"I don't know where to go! Could it be that these two people have met before?"

"impossible!"

After immediately vetoing it, the girl pondered for a while, as if thinking of something, she said with a gloomy face, "Could it be because of my little brother?"

"It seems that Elder Lu is not as honest as he appears on the surface! I think he has concealed a lot of news from us along the way!"

"Junior Sister, this is expected! After all, we are outsiders, and it is impossible to tell us everything. Besides, they have helped us a lot along the way, and there is no need to care about small things."

"Brother is right!"

After a discussion, the two decided not to argue.

On the other hand, knowing that his actions would be suspected, Lu Youjiao had to do the same.After all, to arouse suspicion and reveal the truth, the harm between the two powers is the lesser.

After his explanation, Shen Quan also expressed his understanding, and promised to carefully conceal the real news that Fang Yan said.

At this point, Lu Youjiao breathed a sigh of relief.After rejecting the invitation to be a guest at the Shen family's camp, he took Shen Quan's token, followed the Shen family's soldiers first, and did the instructions.

Seeing such a scene, Mei Chaofeng felt even weirder, and hurriedly asked.

"Commander Shen, why did Elder Lu leave without making a sound?"

Hearing this, Shen Quan's expression was flat, and he explained in a calm manner: "Oh! Miss Mei, it's like this. After I explained it to Elder Lu just now, he found that the purpose of this trip was the same as ours. With three hundred soldiers escorting him, he is already relieved."

"In addition, the current situation of the beggar gang is not good, and people are anxious, so he is anxious to go back and deal with it. So he went to call the night watchman first, and prepared to leave."

"Huh? How could it be like this? Elder Lu never mentioned it before?" Chen Xuanfeng asked strangely.

"Maybe I don't want to cause you any more trouble! This is normal. Considering that the gang of beggars has hundreds of thousands of members, although it has always been chivalrous as its purpose, it is inevitable that there are good and bad people. The matter of the Nine Yin Scriptures has caused a lot of trouble."

As he spoke, Shen Quan took a deep look at the two of them.

As soon as this remark came out, the two siblings showed embarrassment and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Commander Shen, when are we going to the camp?"

"Please wait a moment, both of you. Before I came, I ordered my subordinates to notify the Patriarch. After someone reports back, we won't be too late to leave."

"All right!"

Nodding their heads, the two senior brothers and sisters looked at each other. On the surface, they were calm, but they felt even weirder in their hearts.

On the side, the two people's petty movements can be seen in full view. Seeing this, Shen Quan thought to himself: Oh, I really made myself trouble!I hope the owner and wife can find a way to hide it!
No more words, the three waited for a while, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe came.

"Chen Shaoxia, Miss Mei, the Patriarch and Madam have already heard about the two of you, so come with me."

After speaking, he did not delay, and moved forward.

Although the situation in the mountains and forests at night is complicated, all four of them have good skills and travel quite fast.

But after half a stick of incense, they came to the camp at the foot of the mountain.

At the entrance of the camp, Shen Lingshan and Zhao Yuan were looking forward to it.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Xuanfeng was deeply moved, and Mei Chaofeng had tears in his eyes.

"Uncle Shen, Aunt Zhao, you have been troubled a lot in the past, but now it is not worthy of your personal welcome."

"Girl, what stupid things are you talking about!"

Pretending to be angry, Zhao Yuan firmly grabbed the girl's arm, looked it over, and said with distress: "It's dark, and it's also thin! Xuanfeng, Ruohua, it seems that you have suffered a lot these days! "

As she spoke, her eye sockets also turned red, and the two women hugged each other with tears streaming down their faces.

Seeing such a scene, Shen Lingshan coughed twice, interrupted everyone's greetings, and said: "Madam, let's talk about it later. Hurry up and ask the servants to prepare hot water, let them freshen up, and then serve some Meals."

"Yes, yes, yes! Xuanfeng, Ruohua, come with me."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Zhao Yuan led the young girl by the hand and walked towards the camp behind.

An hour later, after washing and washing, the two of Chen Mei and Chen Mei who had eaten their meals came to the main tent. The three members of the Shen family had already been here and had been waiting for a long time.

"Xuanfeng, Ruohua, I know you two are tired, but the situation is urgent, so we have to make arrangements early."

Looking at the two people who were in such a state of distress, Zhao Yuan felt distressed.

Forcibly cheering up his spirits, Chen Xuanfeng hurriedly returned: "Aunt Zhao, it's okay! We know the seriousness!"

At the side, as if thinking of something, Mei Chaofeng interrupted: "Uncle Shen, Aunt Zhao, I wonder if you have any news about Xiaoqi? Is he okay now?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan winked at her husband who was silent at the side, and then pretended to be happy and replied, "Okay, what's wrong!"

"That stinky boy, now he's following the beggars from the north, maybe he can eat hot and spicy food somewhere! It's not like us, full of travel and dust, eating dirt everywhere."

Understanding, Shen Lingshan said with a flat face: "Seven days ago, a spy came to report, indicating that the boy crossed the river with the leader Hong, and then disappeared."

"I speculate that their trip should be to find a boat for the north to the North Road."

"Ah? Since that's the case, Uncle Shen, let's"

After an exclamation, both Chen Mei and Chen Mei set their eyes on Shen Lingshan, looking expectant.

Seeing such a scene, Zhao Yuan, who understood what it meant, shook her head and vetoed it.

"No way! Our trip, according to the original goal, goes to the Shipping Department of Dajiangkou City."

Halfway through the conversation, seeing the girl wanted to interrupt, she raised her hand to stop her, and explained: "Xuanfeng, Ruohua, I know you are eager to find Minger! But let's not talk about it, can we find them two."

"Even if you really find it, what can you do? You should know that Hebei Road is not the territory of the Song Dynasty now! Your Uncle Shen's identity is not easy to use in the Kingdom of Jin!"

As soon as these words came out, the two brothers and sisters were stunned.

yes!Beggars in the north have always seen the head but never the tail, and the trace is hard to find!Moreover, even though Song and Jin had formed an alliance now, it was impossible for Shen Lingshan to bring [-] armored soldiers to come and go at will.

With a sad face, Chen Xuanfeng asked: "Uncle Shen, Aunt Zhao, what is the plan for today?"

"That's it! Let's linger here for two days. When we have enough energy, we will go directly to the shipping company. I will order someone to arrange the fast boat first, and we will go straight to Peach Blossom Island."

"If Boy Ming has arrived at Peach Blossom Island by then, our trip will be regarded as a complete success. If he hasn't turned back, let's go out to look for it again! With Island Master Huang by his side, no matter how big the world is, anyone can go there!"

"So, all right!"

After hesitating again and again, the two couldn't think of any other way, so they agreed.

Seeing that the two were persuaded, Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, winked at her husband and son, got up and said, "Xuanfeng, Ruohua, you must have been tired after traveling for a long time, I have ordered my servants to prepare Good tent. Come, follow me to rest."

After speaking, the two senior brothers and sisters who were in a state of exhaustion stood up and followed Zhao Yuan to leave after saluting.

Seeing that the three were far away, Shen Xingshan, who had been hesitating all this time, finally spoke.

"Father, is it really okay for us to hide Second Brother Xuan and Third Sister like this?"

"if not?"

After replying lightly, Shen Lingshan was also a little sad, and continued: "Let them run around like headless chickens? Or wait until they know the truth, and then rush to the fire like moths? "

"Well, that's fine. With us, we're safe and secure, and we can return to Peach Blossom Island without incident! It's just that poor boy Ming needs to face the storms of the world alone."

As soon as the words finished, Shen Xingshan pulled an ugly smile from the corner of his mouth, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Cut! Lao Fang is so alone! With the protection of Beibei, Zhan Bo's support, and his identity, he is Catch up on the excitement and watch a good show!"

"Maybe! I can still enjoy fighting with martial arts masters just like in Lin'an City!"

While talking, he seemed to think of something, changed the subject, and asked: "By the way, Dad! Who do you think is that person who hangs around behind us all day?"

"Knowing the whereabouts of Second Brother Xuan and the others, they deliberately lured us there. From this point of view, there should be no malicious intentions!"

"But it may not have good intentions!"

Shen Ling flashed an inscrutable smile, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If my prediction is correct, he should be from the Sifang clan!"

"Imperial City Secretary Xinli, Sifang Clan appeared in front of people, that person should be the current Imperial City Secretary Bei Tiju, Beitang Huai!"

"Sifang clan?" The boy looked at his father in confusion.

"You'll find out soon!"

Hearing this, Shen Xing rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Hmph! I hate riddlers like you the most! If you don't talk, don't talk, I'm too lazy to listen!"

After complaining, he seemed to have thought of something, changed the subject, and asked curiously: "By the way, father, you said that Bei Tang Huai tried so hard to lead us to find Second Brother Xuan and the others, what is he trying to do?"

"Why else? Let's make a good relationship! Boy Xuan and the others have Dongxie as their backer, and they have extraordinary identities. If the Imperial City Secretary wants to act in the Jianghu, he must have both thunderous methods and gentle strategies. With the world There are many benefits for forming a good relationship with the five absolutes!"

"Tch, just playing around like this, there's a fart for it!"

Shen Xing rolled his eyes, not paying attention.

"No and no! You must know that dripping water forms a river, and gathering sand forms a tower! If I predict correctly, they will not give up on Boy Ming's side! After this turmoil is over, although they are not as good as ours, but he is the Imperial City Secretary. A small favor can be left behind."

"Slightly! Ha! Your Excellency! I'm just trying to save my brother anyway, so let you go! Slip away."

The boy made a grimace, and left with a jump.

Looking at his son's back from a distance, Shen Lingshan stroked the beard on his chin and laughed dumbfoundedly.
