Half an hour later, they arrived at Gongsun Manor, which was eighteen miles away.
The Gongsun villa was built in the Green Mountains. The scenery was beautiful in spring. Even in the harsh winter, it had a different flavor.
Passing through the tall archway at the foot of the mountain, they walked up the stairs and stopped outside the gate of the villa. Li lingsu cupped her hands at the gatekeeper and said, ‘
“Please tell them that Xu Qian is here.”
The doorkeeper immediately went to pass on the message. Half an hour later, Gongsun Xiangyang, who had a big belly and looked like a chubby middle-aged man, rushed out with Gongsun Xiu, who had been designated as the heir.
The father and daughter frowned the moment they saw li lingsu. Gongsun
Xiangyang cupped his hands and said, “”Senior Xu?”
Li lingsu believed mu nanzhi’s words a little more when she saw the local tyrant, the Gongsun family, being so respectful to Xu Qian.
Following Xu Qian’s instructions, li lingsu hummed in acknowledgment and did not say anything else.
However, the Saint, the old scumbag, was a little surprised to see Gongsun Xiu.
She was a good girl.
Of course, this was only limited to admiring beauties. The Holy Son really didn’t have the energy to develop the next relationship and comprehend the Taishang forget love.
Under Gongsun Xiangyang’s lead, he entered the manor and sat down in the inner hall where charcoal was burning.
“An unknown senior has come to visit. Please forgive my poor hospitality.”
Gongsun Xiangyang went straight to the point after a round of pleasantries. “The martial arts meet is being held according to senior’s wishes. This time, the heroes of Yongzhou have gathered. Not only Yongzhou, but even neighboring states like Qingzhou and Zhangzhou have martial arts practitioners coming to join in the fun.”
“Very good!” “Where’s the competition venue?” li lingsu nodded.
“In Yongzhou City, the great Corner Field in the southwest. That place was originally the barracks of the city defense Army. There was a training field, and the field was spacious enough. Now that the city defense Army has changed their camp, I will temporarily rent that place.”
For such a large scale gathering, a single arena was not enough. The venue was very important.
The barracks were far away from the residential area, and there was a wide enough practice field, which could serve as the venue for the martial arts Conference.
“Do something for me. Send someone to keep an eye on Yongzhou City. Report to me immediately if you find any traces of the Buddhist monks,” li lingsu said. “Good!” Gongsun Xiangyang said.
At this moment, Gongsun Xiangyang heard the little sparrow on ‘Xu Qian’s’ shoulder speak in the human language. He smiled and said, ‘
“It seems that the Gongsun family’s master has been living a peaceful life. I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell.”
After the sparrow finished speaking, it flapped its wings and flew out of the inner hall, disappearing into the horizon.
Gongsun Xiangyang was stunned for a moment before he looked at li lingsu.
“Just now …” He said.
“That was senior Xu,” li lingsu nodded.
Xu Qi ‘an did this mainly to stabilize his situation. If he were to put himself in the other’s shoes, the Buddhist League or Xu Pingfeng’s minions would probably find the local tyrants in Yongzhou to search for a man named Xu
Qian.
Or, a small team with warhorses.
Searching for a needle in a haystack was also a way to find people.
It seemed that the Gongsun family was safe for the time being.
Senior Xu Qian turned into a bird? No, controlling a bird, what a strange and unpredictable method … Gongsun Xiu was extremely shocked.
Gongsun Xiangyang raised his brows slightly and looked at li lingsu with a smile. “Then, you are …”
“I’m senior Xu’s best friend, and also a junior,” li lingsu nodded.
He gave a simple self-introduction and said, “”There’s another purpose for this trip. We couldn’t find a good Inn in Yongzhou City, so I wonder if the Gongsun clan’s head has any spare accommodation. It’s best not to stay in the Gongsun Manor.”
After getting Gongsun Xiangyang’s approval, li lingsu finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked, “”How did the master of the Gongsun family befriend senior Xu?”
This … “Senior once told us not to reveal the secret,” Gongsun Xiangyang said with a bitter smile.
“Then, does the master of the Gongsun family know senior Xu’s background and identity?” li lingsu asked, unwilling to give up. I’ve known him during my travels, and I’m particularly curious about senior’s identity.”
He believed that it was better to tell the truth and express his curiosity than to lie.
we don’t know more than you do, ” Gongsun Xiu added. we’re also curious about senior Xu’s identity.
“There’s a poem that I don’t know if you’ve heard of, brother,” she said hesitantly after a pause.
“A poem?” Li lingsu retorted.
I once asked about senior Xu’s identity, ” Gongsun Xiu explained. he didn’t say anything, but he left a poem.
“What poem?” Li lingsu suddenly straightened her back and asked.
“It has been eight hundred years since I attained the Dao, but I have never used a flying sword to take a head. The Jade Emperor didn’t have a heavenly talisman, and he’s just a Black Gold mixed-world type.”
Gongsun Xiu said slowly.
After so many days, reciting this poem again still had an unconcealed shock that made one’s heart surge.
“Eight hundred autumns of the year, eight hundred autumns of the year …” Li lingsu muttered.
After a while, he pinched his eyebrows and gritted his teeth. The old man’s identity is more terrifying than I thought.
The people in the hall didn’t notice that the sparrow had returned to the Gongsun villa after flying around outside. It stood quietly on the roof like a silent Sentry.
In the inn, Xu Qi ‘an sipped his tea with satisfaction.
“That bird has to stay in the Gongsun family as an informer to prevent the Buddhist sect and Xu Pingfeng’s people from finding it. However, I do hope that they will come to the Gongsun family …”
At this moment, Xu Qi ‘an’s heart trembled. He heard an illusory Dragon’s Roar, and the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld in his arms became hot. He could sense that the host of the Dragon energy was nearby..
