This is Jianghu

Chapter 25 The Intersection of Heroes

Zhang Liheng put away the Wentian Sword, and replied: "Yes, Brother Dongfang, that little brother is also respectful, he might as well obey his orders."

Dongfangjue started from Changzhou all the way, because of the leopard in the cloud, he seldom took the initiative to talk to everyone. He usually pretended to be nothing to do with himself, and seemed to be indifferent to everything.Now that the hidden dangers of Woyun Mountain have been resolved, he has recovered his true colors, and he has become more talkative.

Dongfang Jue turned to Wang Zheng again: "Brother Wang, let's consider this matter over today, we will escort this batch of silk for another fifty miles, and after arriving at Zhuhe Town and handing it over to the people in the Shu Palace, we can go back to Changzhou to report to Tang Dynasty. The family wants money."

Wang Zheng's master, Nine-Jie Whip Wang Zhangxie, is indeed well-known in the Jianghu. In the past, Wang Zheng always thought that he was a teacher from a famous family, so when he walked in the Jianghu, he always acted arrogantly. , Thinking of my past behavior, I feel really ashamed.Although Dongfang Shaoyou, the ancestor of Dongfang Jue, has passed away for more than 100 years, but now that Dongfang Shaoyou's name is mentioned, he is like a generation of Tianjiao inexplicably. When you look up, it's like a bright moon compared to candlelight.Dongfang Jue has a rich family background and extraordinary skills, but he neither shows off his family background nor is he arrogant in his skills. He is a rare true chivalrous man in the Jianghu.

Wang Zheng said sincerely: "Brother Dongfang said that Wang has been educated today!"

Qi Feilong was puzzled and asked again: "Brother Dongfang, you don't wander around the rivers and lakes like us. My brothers came here for the Tang family's several thousand taels of silver. Why do you...?"

Dongfang Jue cleared his throat and said, "What? That's 5000 taels of silver. Brother, I'm also a mortal, and I like silver too."

Not to mention that the Qi brothers and Wang Zheng didn't believe it, even Zhang Liheng showed suspicion.

Dongfang Jue saw that everyone looked like this, so he said: "Hey, well, in fact, I was entrusted by the prince of Shu, and I came from the middle of Shu to Changzhou to help escort this batch of silk."

Only then did everyone understand why Dongfangjue, a master from a hermit family, would help the Tang family escort the silk with them.It's just that Dongfang Jue added at the end: "I will also accept the 1 taels from the Tang family, so don't give me up!"

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, and even the escorting martial artist laughed along with him.

Afterwards, the warriors cleared the rocks in the canyon, repacked the carriage and prepared to go on the road again.Qi Feihu picked up Xiashanhu and Yunzhongbao who had their acupoints sealed, and asked Dongfang Jue, "Brother Dongfang, what do you plan to do with these tigers and leopards?"

Dongfang Jue said: "They can't kill them yet, so take them to Zhuhe Town and hand them over to the people in the Shu Palace. This time, the Four Devils of Crouching Clouds are not just as simple as blocking the road and robbing them. The mere tens of thousands of taels will not be able to commit such a big battle like them." , and those military crossbows are not something that can be obtained by a few bandits, if you guessed correctly, this is a conspiracy."

Zhang Liheng was pure-hearted, never thought that there could be any conspiracy in a batch of expensive silk, and asked, "Brother Dongfang, what does this mean?"

Dongfang Jue said: "This batch of silk is prepared by the Shu Palace to make colorful phoenix feather coats for the current queen's birthday. For so many years, since the time of the Taizu Empress, the Shu Palace has sewed a silk for each generation of queens. A colorful phoenix feather coat, a tailor's feather coat is almost the identity of every generation of queens, and the princes of each generation of the Shu Palace are also trusted by the current emperor. Just last year, the Shu Palace had already told the Queen that it would A tailor feather coat was presented to the Queen on the Phoenix Birthday. It is less than half a year before the Queen’s Phoenix Birthday, and the silk used to make the colorful Phoenix feather coat was almost robbed twice, obviously someone did not want the Shu Palace to make this colorful Phoenix feather coat.”

Zhang Liheng asked again: "What will happen if the Shu Palace can't make colorful phoenix feather clothes?"

Dongfang Jue said: "Then the Shu Palace will be in big trouble. Not only will it be charged with deceiving the Queen, but it will also easily arouse the emperor's suspicion. It will be a catastrophe for the Shu Palace. What a vicious scheme!"

Qi Feilong asked again: "The matter of the emperor's family has nothing to do with those of us quacks. Why is Brother Dongfang so concerned about the affairs of the Shu Palace this time?"

Dongfang Jue replied: "The Shu Palace has some connections with my family, so this time I found my family to help escort this batch of silk, and the current Shu Prince has a very good reputation among the people, and I should do my best to help him. This one."

At this time Wang Zheng also said: "I also heard that the current prince of Shu cares about the sufferings of the people and speaks for the people in front of the emperor many times. He is an excellent prince."

After listening to Dongfang Jue's words, Zhang Liheng felt that the relationship between the emperor's family was a little more complicated. It was just a piece of clothing, but it could lead to such a big matter, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.The others, on the other hand, didn't have the heart to understand the conspiracy methods of these officials, and stopped asking, and started to go to Zhuhe Town with silk.

It was already past noon when they set off again, and a group of people used a carriage to escort the goods and finally arrived at Zhuhe Town before dark. As soon as they arrived at Zhuhe Town, they saw a high flag, writing "Shu The word "king".

There was a group of people there, all of them armed with weapons and dressed as generals. The leader was a man dressed in brocade clothes and holding a sword in his hand. As soon as he saw Dongfang Jue in the group, he immediately went up to meet him.

Dongfang Jue also saw this person, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Commander Xiao, I didn't expect that the prince asked you to escort this batch of silk."

Commander Xiao returned the gift and said, "Brother Dongfang, you are welcome. You have worked hard along the way. Did any accident happen along the way?"

Dongfang Jue said: "I wasted some time in Woyun Mountain, thanks to the help of these heroes, the silk needed for the colorful phoenix feather coat was fortunately saved!"

Commander Xiao frowned when he heard this, and said: "Sure enough, it's not what the prince expected." Then he looked at Zhang Liheng and Wang Zheng, and asked Dongfang Jue, "Then these few are...?"

Dongfangjue introduced Shanxi duo Zhang Liheng and Wang Zheng to Commander Xiao one by one. Commander Xiao listened to them and bowed their hands to salute. When Zhang Liheng was introduced, a trace of abnormality flashed across his eyes.At the end Commander Xiao said again: "Xiao Chen is here to thank all the knights on behalf of the lord!" It turned out that this person was named Xiao Mingchen, he was the commander of the guards in the Shu Palace, and he was also the one with the highest martial arts skills in the Shu Palace.

Qi Feihu smiled honestly: "Hehe, Commander Xiao doesn't need to thank you, we are all here for the money of the Tang family!" After he finished speaking, everyone laughed

Qi Feihu was so forthright, Xiao Chen also burst out laughing, and said: "It's a pleasure to deal with Qi Erxia and you guys, and you don't want Commander Xiao to be called Xiao, just call me Xiao Chen!"

Dongfang Jue said: "Commander Xiao is really unkind. I have known you for so long and I haven't seen you have such a good time. Then I will call you by your name in the future. Don't be unhappy!"

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "That's a great injustice, Brother Dongfang, you have been refusing to call me by my name, and you still think that you, an expert in the world, look down on me, the servants of the palace."

Dongfang Jue said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, we also captured the Xiashan Tiger and the Yunzhong Leopard among the Crouching Cloud Four Demons alive, and tied them to the back of the carriage. You can take them back and see if you can interrogate them."

When Xiao Chen heard this, his face immediately became serious, and he said seriously: "Brother Dongfang, you not only delivered the silk safely, but also captured the tiger and leopard alive. This time, you have really done the palace a great favor!" So Immediately ordered several family generals to take Xiashan Huyun and Zhongbao aside and guard them strictly.

Dongfang Jue said to Xiao Chen again: "Xiao Chen, look, it's getting dark, are you going to hand over the silk like this and drive us back?"

Xiao Chen patted his forehead and said: "You see, I was thinking about silk, and I almost neglected to give it to a knight. I am really sorry! We have already prepared a room at the inn in Zhuhe Town, waiting for everyone After resting, I will hand over the silk." After saying that, he asked his family to lead the way into Zhuhe Town, and he greeted the Qi brothers and the others.

Dongfang Jue and the others followed Xiao Chen into Zhuhe Town talking and laughing. Xiao Chen looked at Zhang Liheng from time to time while walking.

When they arrived at the inn in Zhuhe Town, Xiao Chen asked someone to prepare a few tables of food and drink for everyone. Qi's brothers, Wang Zheng and others are the people who like to drink the most. They got drunk with each other that night, and Zhang Liheng turned away from the table one by one. .Zhang Liheng himself was quite tired this day, after taking the three drunks back to their respective rooms, he went back to his room and practiced internal energy for a few hours before falling asleep.

After everyone went to rest, only Dongfang Jue and Xiao Chen were still sipping a drink, enjoying themselves leisurely.At this time, Xiao Chen asked: "Brother Dongfang, do you know the origin of the young hero Zhang Liheng?"

Dongfang Jue said "Oh?" and asked back: "Since I introduced him to you, you have been secretly looking at him, Xiao Chen, why are you interested in Brother Liheng?"

Xiao Chen pondered for a while, looked at the guest room, then moved his lips for a while, but he didn't make any sound, obviously he was talking to Dongfang Jue by sound transmission.

After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Dongfang Jue's expression changed unexpectedly, and he said: "There is such a thing!"

　Thank you
