Young man, please stay

Chapter 269 Old acquaintance

Throughout the long history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which emphasized military affairs over culture, the number of shops like bookstores could never compare with that of weapon shops and blacksmith shops.

That is to say, since Emperor Zhaoguan Su Yupan ascended the throne and the literary trend began to emerge, there were only a dozen more bookstores and bookshops in the capital than in other places.

Just opposite the bookstore where Qin Lang is currently staying is a ready-made weapons store.

While Qin Lang was watching the current issue of "Zhu Yan", Miss Su, who had not been out shopping for a long time, was already attracted by the dazzling array of new products in the weapon shop. Just like other noble ladies in the capital seeing the finest silks and satins, she blinked her sparkling eyes and pulled Gu Jin in.

Unexpectedly, Su Yinping met someone in this store.

The chief escort of Jiuzhou Escort Agency, Liu Tianba.

……

When Liu Tianba and Su Yinping met in the weapon shop, many passers-by recognized Liu Tianba and knew it was not a good place to stay for long, so they left in a hurry. Some people who were not aware of the situation did not dare to join in the fun without permission.

After all, this is the capital city, there are many important people, and there are even more types of important people. Who knows what kind of disaster will be caused by looking at them a few more times?
So in the end, the people who dared to watch from afar near the door were all people dressed in gorgeous clothes and were either rich or noble.

Even so, Lord Qianshou beside Su Yinping obviously still didn't like the feeling of attracting attention.

"Ma'am, let's go..."

"Um…"

Su Yinping also had this intention, but Liu Tianba took the initiative to start a conversation. His loud voice could be heard by Qin Lang in the quiet bookstore across the street, which actually indirectly reflected Liu Tianba's profound skills.

……

"Captain Liu, are we familiar with each other?"

Su Yinping's voice was very cold and her tone was very flat, a bit like when she first met Qin Lang, except that instead of being wary of "scumbags", she had a bit more indifference that kept people at a distance.

"Master Su, we haven't seen each other for a long time. There's no need to be so distant, right?"

From the title, it can be seen that the empress's sister is different from the princess in the ordinary sense. After all, Su Yupan once wanted to make his sister a prince.

"Captain Liu, you and I have different positions. What else can we do if we don't become estranged?"

"Hahaha! That's wrong. Although the princess and I serve different masters, we live in the same world and the same arena after all! It's normal to greet each other when we meet!"

……

The sarcasm in Liu Tianba's words can be said to be quite crazy.

Deliberately emphasizing "the same world", is it possible that there are two different worlds?
It would be nothing if others said so, but everyone in the court knew that Jiuzhou Escort Agency was the power of the Regent. Relying on the advantage of escorting escorts to various places, they acted as the Regent's spies in various places in the Great Zhou, just like Ningxiang Pavilion of Tianhe Sect and Tingyuxuan of Jiaofangsi.

This is also why after the Yangzhou disaster, the Regent was the first person in the capital to receive the news.

Liu Tianba was also a big shot that Qin Lang had known since he had just come down from Tianshan and entered the martial arts world.

In the world today, the first person who has achieved the status of a master purely by relying on his external skills is Liu Tianba.

However, Qin Lang has seen too much of the world today, and Liu Tianba is just that in Qin Lang's heart. The only special thing about him is his reputation as a master of external skills, which indeed makes Qin Lang, who also has a background in external skills, more interested in him.

But no matter what kind of person she is, what Qin Lang cares about most is whether his girlfriend is being bullied.

So, after coming out of the bookstore, Qin Lang went straight to the weapon shop. His eyes passed through the small crowd of onlookers and immediately locked onto a bearded man with a forehead guard inside the weapon shop.

"Qin Lang!"

At the same time, Su Yinping also saw Qin Lang. After calling out to him subconsciously, she and Gu Jin stood beside Qin Lang together.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Liu Tianba narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Lang:
"Who is this…?"

"My name is Qin Lang, and I am a servant in the Princess's mansion."

Qin Lang didn't like the way Liu Tianba looked at him, so he looked at him in the same way:

"You are Liu Tianba?" "?"

It has to be said that Qin Lang's look was quite like that of a child, which made Liu Tianba stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter.

"Lord Su is surrounded by talented people. I heard earlier that he got a young guard in Jingzhou. He had made quite a name for himself with Dian Cang Mountain and Louwailou. The news even reached my birthday party..."

"..."

When Liu Tianba mentioned this casually, Gu Jin and Su Yinping both blinked and looked at Qin Lang meaningfully.

Qin Lang didn't expect that there was such a rumor about him among Liu Tianba. He pouted at his girlfriends and said that he found it interesting too.

At this time, Qin Lang also took a closer look at the followers brought by Liu Tianba.

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked at it, but I was shocked to find that the person with Liu Tianba was actually an old acquaintance.

"why you?"

“Hi…! It’s you?”

Seeing the bald men behind Qin Lang and Liu Tianba looking at each other in bewilderment, Su Yinping and Gu Jin looked at each other in confusion, then leaned close to their boyfriends' ears and asked in unison:
"Do you know this person?"

Qin Lang smiled strangely:

"More than knowing each other."

"Yeah!"

The bald man grinned and rubbed his smooth, round head:
"Young Master Qin and I should have known each other through fighting."

……

It turned out that the bald man was the son of the leader of Dian Cang Sect, one of the twelve sects in the martial arts world, Fang Buhui, who had fought with Qin Lang in the Jianping County Inn.

After the conflict with Louwailou at the last birthday party, Fang Buhui unexpectedly won the favor of Liu Tianba, who took the initiative to invite him to be a retainer in Jiuzhou Escort Agency, which was actually a deliberate training for him.

There are three sects, six schools and twelve schools, and the Jiuzhou Escort Agency is one of the six schools. When the leader of the Dian Cang School saw such an opportunity, he immediately thought to himself that "my son has the potential to be a master", and happily kept Fang Buhui in the capital.

After such a long time, the two people who had met each other in a fight would meet again in Beijing.

……

Young Master Qin…?
When Liu Tianba heard Fang Buhui's address to Qin Lang, he quickly thought of something. Some rumors he heard at his birthday party emerged in his mind, and his eyes suddenly revealed a hint of wonder.

"Somebody come!"

Liu Tianba stopped rubbing the two stone balls in his hands and instructed Fang Buhui:

"Clearance."

The so-called clearing the scene actually meant driving away the crowd. At this moment, the wealthy people watching were all sensible. Since Liu Biao had said so, there was no need to wait for people to clear the scene. They just smiled, bowed, and left on their own initiative.

"Liu Tianba!"

Seeing this, Su Yinping frowned, took a step forward, and reached directly for the pear-falling knife at her waist. She spoke coldly:

"Liu Tianba! Don't make trouble for no reason. We just met by chance and wanted to say hello. Why did you clear the place suddenly?"

"Don't misunderstand, Master Su."

Unexpectedly, Liu Tianba actually became serious and bowed to Su Yinping:

"I am only here to provide some equipment for the escorts. It is indeed a coincidence that I met Lord Su. However, I am quite interested in this servant in Lord Su's house."

"?"

This old Deng, did I provoke him?
Qin Lang frowned slightly, and a certain girl had already taken out a dagger and stood quietly in front of Qin Lang, ready to protect her husband at any time when Liu Tianba was staring at her boyfriend.
