Wudang

Chapter 19
When Zhang Junbao and the others continued on the road, the wind and snow started to grow again.

And by this time it was starting to get dark.

It's hard to spend the night outside in this weather.

Half an hour later, I arrived at a small town with an inn.

The purpose of Yusheng Commercial Company is to make Zhang Junbao's journey comfortable, so it is natural to stay in an inn.

Although Zhang Junbao and the others have deep internal skills and are not afraid of the severe cold, if there is a good place to live, of course they will not refuse.

Unlike Master, I am in a hurry to go to Dadu, as long as I arrive before March [-]rd, there will be no problem.

"What, there are no guest rooms? In this way, I will pay double and triple the rent, and you can find someone to let someone out." The manager of Yusheng Commercial Bank was negotiating with the manager of the best inn in the town. The silver ingot was slapped in front of the shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper couldn't stop bowing and said: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the store operates with integrity, first come first, first come first, I really can't move around..."

"Just find another one." Miao Daoyi said.

"Miao Daochang doesn't know, other inns are simple, but this is the best inn in the town." The steward explained.

"Guest officer, the other inns are probably also full. Not long before you came, a caravan booked up all the vacant guest rooms in the town's inn."

When the shopkeeper said this, Zhang Junbao and the others immediately understood. Isn't this about Wu's House?

Didn't they just leave first?

Who else but them?
Anyway, I didn't see other caravans along the way.

"There are only a few inns in this town?" A familiar voice came from behind.

"Master Biao, this place is remote. It's hard to come by a small town with a few inns. It's no problem for everyone to squeeze together for one night. Huh? Two priests, you are..." The manager of Wu's House suddenly I saw Zhang Junbao and others at the entrance of the inn.

He couldn't continue talking halfway through, the inn here was almost taken over by them, what else could Zhang Junbao and the others be here for?
Wouldn't it be embarrassing for both of you to ask yourself that?

"This?" The steward looked at Young Master Biao.

"They have nowhere to go at this hour, it's freezing cold, it's so pitiful, let's spare two rooms for them." Young Master Biao said.

"Two rooms?" The steward looked at the number of people on Zhang Junbao's side, two rooms were not enough.

"It's just enough to squeeze, it's inconvenient to go out, everyone, isn't it?" Young Master Biao said and looked at Zhang Junbao and the others.

Even though Zhang Junbao had a good temper, he was irritated enough by the other party.

It's simply revenge, who are these people.

Two rooms, do you feel sorry for yourself and your party?

The other party was obviously disgusting with his group.

Could it be that he is helping others and avenging revenge? This guy is obviously targeting himself.

"Master Biao?" The manager of Wu's House felt that this was inappropriate, and wanted to persuade him again.

"We are not enough, and it is not easy to vacate two rooms, so let's do this." Young Master Biao's tone was beyond doubt.

"Two priests, two rooms are enough. Let's just find a place to spend the night." The manager of Yusheng Commercial Bank said hastily.

As long as Zhang Junbao and Miao Dao lived comfortably, they didn't care.

Really enough for two rooms.

"I haven't experienced driving at night in a car in a snowy day, Daoyi, how about you?" Zhang Junbao turned to ask Miao Daoyi.

"Uncle Master, this disciple thinks it's not bad." Miao Daoyi smiled.

He understood what Zhang Junbao meant, and it was better to leave than to be humiliated by the other party.

"Okay, thank you very much, what's your surname?" Zhang Junbao looked at Young Master Biao.

"Master Biao's surname is Fang." The steward of the Wu family said hastily.

"Thank you, Young Master Fang, for your kindness. Let's go after you settle in." Zhang Junbao was straightforward, turned and left after speaking.

If it was just a little cold for this guy before, now I really hate it.

There are no wonders in the world, and indeed there are all kinds of birds and people.

"No." Young Master Biao said flatly, seemingly not caring about Zhang Junbao's ridicule.

Just when Zhang Junbao and the others walked a few steps, the innkeeper suddenly shouted: "Guest officer, guest officer, someone just checked out. Now there is a small courtyard with seven rooms. I wonder if you want more?"

"We want it." Young Master Biao said loudly.

"Leave a thread in everything, so we can see each other in the future." Zhang Junbao stopped and turned his head and said, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Just now the other party booked the guest room first, and it is his freedom to vacate the room, so I really can't say anything more.

Now that the inn has many guest rooms, they are all being robbed, which is clearly targeted directly, how can they spoil him anymore?
I may not be his opponent, but there is still Miao Daoyi, how can I be afraid of him?
"Aren't you going to walk at night to enjoy the snow? There are still a few rooms on our side, and it's just right now." Young Master Biao said calmly, as if he didn't hear the anger in Zhang Junbao's words.

"Guest officer, this courtyard is for those guests." The old shopkeeper glanced at Young Master Biao and said, he meant to reserve it for Zhang Junbao and his party.

"What is the usual price, I pay three times, five times?" Seeing the old shopkeeper, Master Biao shook his head, "Well, rare things are more expensive, ten times."

"Guest officer, this inn has been run by the little old man's family for three generations. It has always been based on honesty, so it can't ruin its reputation." The old shopkeeper still refused.

This actually made Zhang Junbao respectful to the shopkeeper.

It is really admirable to be able to stick to one's principles in the face of ten times the benefits.

"It's not that you can do whatever you want with a few copper coins." Zhang Junbao said, "Shopkeeper, we want it."

"Guest officer, you have reserved other guest rooms before, but these guest officers don't have any. I should give it to them, and I hope you understand." The old shopkeeper said to Master Biao again.

Young Master Biao's face finally changed. He didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so ignorant, rich but not earning, and mentally problematic.

With a gloomy face and a cold snort, he walked into the inn.

Zhang Junbao was very happy to see Young Master Biao leaving depressed.

Looking at that guy's back, Zhang Junbao murmured secretly: "This guy isn't that perfect, at least he's a bit short."

At least half a head shorter than herself, not much taller than her cousin.

In future generations, if a man is too short, he will be half a useless person.

Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao's mood became even better.

It is a kind of self-comfort.

Think about it in ancient times, 'five big and three thick' men were very popular with women.

"Five big" refers to: big hands, big feet, big ears, wide shoulders, fat hips; "three thick" refers to: thick waist, thick legs, thick neck.

This kind of man is generally tall and strong, with a burly figure.

For ordinary families, men are the main labor force, and such men are of course welcome.

Moreover, if a burly man stands over there, he has a natural deterrent force. If there are quarrels and fights among neighbors, he will generally not be bullied.

Of course, this is the choice of the people at the bottom.

Like a rich and powerful family, you still have to choose your appearance and character, and you need to be well-matched.

Which girl is not pregnant?
A gentleman like a gentle lady is fond of a gentleman, and a gentleman who looks like Pan An is also what women want.

After all, the importance of appearance is still the same, and looking at the face is applicable throughout the ages.

boy.

Zhang Junbao secretly complained again.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhang Junbao didn't think about those boring things anymore, and hurried back and said.

Of course, it is best to have a place to live in this kind of horrible weather. The previous words were just to find a way for myself.

Although he is young, he is still the leader here, even Miao Daoyi holds the junior ceremony.

When he came forward, everyone else could only wait quietly behind him.

"Guest officer, you are being polite, as it should be." The shopkeeper called Zhang Junbao and the others to follow him to his residence.

The small courtyard is not big, but it is well organized, clean and refreshing.

After the shopkeeper left, Zhang Junbao and his party moved the luggage and other items from the carriage.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Junbao suddenly saw that disgusting cousin again. Their small courtyard was just opposite, and the distance between them was only two feet away.

If you didn't know who the shopkeeper is, you would really mistakenly think that someone did it on purpose.

The other party obviously also noticed Zhang Junbao's gaze, and looked over here.

Zhang Junbao withdrew his gaze, and was about to turn around and enter his small courtyard. Looking at the other party more would be to cause trouble for him, and seeing the other party is not the only way.

"Cousin, let's rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

The cousin's voice on the opposite side reached Zhang Junbao's ears clearly, and the two small courtyards were almost next to each other, so it was natural to hear her speaking.

"it is good."

"The hot water is ready, cousin, I will serve you..."

"Shhh, walls have ears, so keep your voice down." My cousin said, "You always need someone to serve you, that's fine, let Xiao Lian serve you."

"Huh? Cousin, are you still so loud?" The cousin was obviously shy.

Zhang Junbao's cheeks trembled involuntarily. Did this bastard say he was eavesdropping?

It's so close, even if I don't intend to listen, I can still hear it, can I blame myself?

And that bastard obviously said it to himself on purpose, is he bullying him that he doesn't have a woman here?

Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao sighed in his heart, he really can't compare with the other party in this respect.

That Xiao Lian seemed to be his cousin's maid, and she was not bad looking. Zhang Junbao had seen her during the day.

No matter how much I looked down on that guy, in fact, that guy had a pretty good life.

"Daoyi, how's the inquiry going?" At this time, Miao Daoyi came in from the outside, Zhang Junbao couldn't help turning around and asking, thinking that he still had ears on the other side, he added, "Tell me in my room."

Miao Dao turned around and glanced at the opposite door, at this time the pair of cousins ​​had already entered.

In the room, Miao Daoyi told Zhang Junbao about the news he had inquired about.

The information they inquired about was naturally about the Wu family's caravan, mainly targeting that cousin named Fang.

The cousin's name is Wu Yun, and she is the granddaughter of Wu Tianlin, the head of the Wu family.

Cousin Fang Yilian, a cousin of the Wu family, is highly regarded by Wu Tianlin in the Wu family.

Needless to say, Zhang Junbao can also guess.

To be able to make his granddaughter so close to him, this guy's status in the Wu family is naturally extraordinary.

Especially if you're not married yet.

Anyway, Miao Daoyi didn't find out about the marriage contract between the two.

According to Miao Daoyi, it is shameless and indecent.

If it is a future generation, this situation will not be a problem at all.

Don't talk about sharing a car before marriage, and no one said anything about living together.

But now, it is indeed a bit out of bounds.

Men and women still have to pay attention to defense.

Zhang Junbao shook his head secretly, people like himself were really worrying about it, the Wu family obviously didn't care, maybe they would be happy to help them both.

Fang Yilian's Fang family's financial strength and influence are probably still higher than the Wu family's, otherwise the Wu family would not be like this.

It's just that Miao Daoyi said again that among the big families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Wu family is one of them, and the Fang family seems to have never heard of it.

At least I haven't heard of any Fang family with stronger financial resources than the Wu family.

Miao Dao didn't know the identity of Fang Yilian for a while, and the information he got from the servants in the Wu family's caravan was very limited.

"Where is the martial arts origin of this surname Fang?" Zhang Junbao changed his mind.

I am not familiar with Jianghu, but Miao Daoyi is different. Although he is only four years older than himself, he is already a veteran of Jianghu, and he knows a lot about martial arts in Jianghu.

Miao Dao shook his head and said, "I can't tell. Before he killed those horse bandits, he didn't use real martial arts at all, so he doesn't know his martial art background."

Zhang Junbao nodded, that guy was very strong, and the horse killers couldn't force him to use his unique skills.

"Master Uncle, do you want me to go and find out about him later tonight?" Miao Daoyi asked.

Zhang Junbao shook his head hastily and said: "No need, that guy is a bit more of a jerk, that's all. It's best to know, it's fine if you don't know, there won't be any trouble in the future, just let him go."

Fang Yilian looked as if he didn't want to be beaten, but that's all.

Could it be that just because the other party has a bad attitude, they shouted and shouted?

I just met them by chance, so I was bitten by a dog out of good intentions, can I bite back?
Where to bite?

After that, they each went their own way and never saw each other again.

Seeing what Zhang Junbao said, Miao Dao stepped back.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, just now he was really worried that Zhang Junbao, who was young and vigorous, would not be able to swallow this breath and find trouble with Fang Yilian.

It's not that he is afraid of Fang Yilian, as a Quanzhen Sect disciple, there are not many forces in this world that can make Quanzhen Sect fear.

Fang Yilian's martial arts are good, but he is still sure to win.

It's just that the sect behind Fang Yilian is certainly not simple, making enemies for no reason is not a wise choice.

Fang Yilian's character has some problems, but it is not justified to say that he should take action to teach him a lesson based on this.

As the head disciple of the Quanzhen sect, he has always been strict with himself and has high standards. He is not afraid of trouble, but he will not cause trouble easily.

While Zhang Junbao and the others were pondering Fang Yilian's identity, Fang Yilian was also not idle.

"Cousin, go back and rest first." Fang Yilian had already finished washing, changed into a robe and was sitting at the table, while her junior sister was pouring tea for him.

The junior sister turned around and glanced at a woman in her 30s who came in, nodded, put down the teapot and walked out.

"Miao Daoyi is the Quanzhen Sect..."

Before the woman finished speaking, Fang Yilian raised his hand and interrupted: "I know Miao Daoyi, but the other one."

"Zhang Junbao, fourteen years old, very senior, Miao Daoyi's master-uncle, but he is not a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect." The woman said.

"It's really Master Uncle?" Fang Yilian was stunned for a moment, "You're only fourteen, are you sure?"

Before, he heard Miao Daoyi call Zhang Junbao Master Uncle, at first he thought he had heard it wrong, but later he wondered if it was because the pronunciation of this guy's name was similar to that of "Master Uncle".

Seeing Miao Dao's respectful attitude towards Zhang Junbao, he was very puzzled.

If it's really Master Uncle, isn't it an old guy who has practiced the art of retaining face?
Hearing that Zhang Junbao was really only 14 years old now, he couldn't believe it.

"Master, you can't be wrong." The woman explained, "His master is Huolong Daoist."

"Fire Dragon Master? Which Fire Dragon Master?" Fang Yilian asked in a daze.

"Master, besides that one, who else in this world would dare to be called a fire dragon?" the woman said.

As soon as these words came out, Fang Yilian's expression changed and he fell silent.

After a while, he asked, "Really?"

"Really!" The woman nodded affirmatively, "Renren Huolong met people from Yusheng Commercial Company in Luoyang, oh, there was also a compassionate teacher from Emei at that time, and the compassionate teacher called Huolong Zhenren Senior Brother, this matter Yu Sheng Everyone in the firm knew about it. Earlier in the day, Zhang Zhixian and Miao Daoyi from Quanzhen Sect found them. They didn't know what Zhang Zhixian and Huolong Zhenren said, so they left first. By the way, Zhang Zhixian called Huolong Zhenren Uncle Master. The truth of these things can be confirmed after a little investigation, and there is no need for the other party to fabricate such lies."

"No wonder Miao Dao is so respectful to him, so he is the disciple of that senior master." Fang Yilian's previous doubts were all figured out.

Miao Daoyi is Qi Zhicheng's valued young disciple, he has a special status in Quanzhen Sect, even if he meets some elders, he may not be so respectful.

So at that time, he was very curious and puzzled.

If he hadn't met Miao Daoyi, he would really feel that he had misjudged the person.

"Young master, Huolong Daoist came out of the mountain most likely at the invitation of Quanzhen Sect, for the purpose of debating scriptures between Taoism and Buddhism." The woman said again.

"Whether it's true or not, this senior coming out of the mountain means that something big will happen." Fang Yilian pondered for a while and said, "Give me an order to postpone our matter this time."

"Ah?" The woman was surprised, "Master, we have been preparing for this matter for several years, and it is rare to come across a good opportunity..."

"Why, my words don't work?" Fang Yilian asked with a serious face.

"No~~ This subordinate doesn't dare." The woman shuddered and hurriedly knelt down and said, "This subordinate is worried that someone next to the leader will gossip about the young master."

"It's okay, I will explain this matter clearly to my adoptive father." Fang Yilian said lightly.

"Then this Zhang Junbao?" The woman hesitated for a while and asked, "Is it possible to use it?"

"Let's keep an eye on him first." Fang Yilian thought for a while and felt it was inappropriate, "No, just leave him alone. He is with someone from the Quanzhen Sect, and the Quanzhen Sect will definitely protect him. We really need to send people to watch him. It will be discovered by Quanzhen Sect."

"But if you don't stare~~"

"What does it matter?" Fang Yilian said with a slight smile, "at least you know that he will go to Dadu, and you just need to know where he is. There are some things that can't be rushed, especially those related to Master Huolong. If you annoy him, it will be a big deal. Father-in-law It is said that there are few people in this world that he can admire, and Huolong Daoist is one of them. Moreover, Huolong Daoist is not the gangsters of Quanzhen Sect, and his disciples are not easy to move. As for whether we can use it, we have to decide It depends."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." The woman said respectfully.

The woman backed away, Fang Yilian put his right elbow on the table, his right hand rested his chin, his eyes were blurred, he seemed to be thinking about something, a little distracted.

"Zhang Junbao? Huolong Daoist's only disciple, interesting." After Fang Yilian came back to his senses, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he stretched his waist, looking a little lazy.
