135 Encounters in a foreign land
The young man with scars on his left cheek naturally followed Chen Fengming as Xia Zheng went south. He quickly turned the corner of the street and saw Jun Li standing silently.
He was really shocked to see Jun Li here, and when he approached, he just stared: "Isn't it a big dream?"
"I left the city last night." Jun Li's eyes were low. "When Zhuque learned that you were traveling with Master Xia last night, he was furious and wanted to send Zhang Gongchang to chase you. I heard it."
He didn't say anything after that. Of course, Chen Fengming knew that he must have chased him here all night after hearing the news.
"...You dare to come out just to tell me about this?" Chen Fengming still had a little difficulty, "But I-hehe, I already knew that the journey of escorting the owner of Xia was full of dangers and extremely difficult. He sent all the 'big business' of the Black Bamboo Association, and it was just that."
"Of course it's not just to tell you." Jun Li looked up. "I plan to go with you to Meizhou."
Chen Fengming was surprised, "But the Vermilion Bird's end..."
"Don't worry about the Zhuque's end for now." Jun Li said, "I was kept in the dark before, but now that I know, I can't sit idly by. You can escort Lord Xia all the way, why can't I?"
"Do you know that the matter of Master Xia leaving Beijing this time was designed by Zhuque? If he knew that you came to escort Master Xia, he would definitely..."
"He already knows it." Jun Li said lightly. "I have already said that I don't have to worry about the Zhuque. You also said that the journey is full of dangers and difficulties. Why? Do you look down on me and think I will implicate you?"
"How dare I look down on you?" Chen Fengming subconsciously weighed the jade buckle in his palm. Jun Li's throw just now was not the skill that he could underestimate. "But..."
He thought, but do you know that Zhuque wanted to design this way Xia Zheng was because he wanted to keep you? Your identity is different from mine, so I left and no one cared about it, but if you left, wouldn’t his design be in vain? Your martial arts are now greatly improved, isn’t it because Zhuque is giving it to him in the end, but in the end, how could he be willing to do it with his personality?
"But what?" Jun Li looked like, obviously he didn't know the truth. "I only know that Zhuque had held a banquet in the mansion last night. He was determined to win. It can be seen that the dangers along the way. Even if it was you, even if you were a master like Lord Xia, it would be difficult to resist. I don't want his plan to succeed."
Chen Fengming didn't say anything. - Since you have decided, your relationship with the Xia family may be better to tell you after all of us arrive in Meizhou safely.
"That's fine." He changed his smile. "Ge Chuan's people have not yet shown their true colors and can handle them. I am also worried that once both sides are at the same time, they will not be very sure if they really fight hard."
Jun Li nodded. "Those five people just now, are you from Heizhu Club?"
"That's right. There were people from the Black Bamboo Association who came to disturb him yesterday, but for the time being, they were all sneak attacks that were not as good as possible."
Jun Li also smiled. "If the Black Bamboo Club hits you, you will naturally lose your temper. But I don't understand. I thought the Black Bamboo Club should come together, but why did they act on their own? Isn't the sixty people together a greater chance of winning?"
"Originally, it should have been together, but... it's not the past."
Chen Fengming said, sighing. "When the Black Bamboo Double Killing was still there, even though they were not in harmony, every time they were in the 'big business', their respective people followed their respective leaders; but now Mas and I are no longer there. Zhang Gongchang is a dozen silver medal killers with different levels, and each leads some subordinates, and they are more dispersed. It's not that I boasted, if the silver medals taught by Chen Fengming are still abide by the rules, and when this major event is important, they will also restrain their subordinates and follow the plan; but Mas's people may not be - without Mas, they will be a casual discipline and act according to their hearts, and they will not like to cooperate with my people. Then, naturally, there will be such people who are greedy for me and who like to take credit and die in front of me."
"If so, it will be good news for us." Jun Li said.
"Then you don't have to be too lucky." Chen Fengming said. "According to my impression, there are not many old subordinates of Maas who are willing to move south in the Black Bamboo Club this time, and even fewer people are clicked this time, so there are no need to expect that sixty people will be defeated like this. In short, from yesterday to today, at most ten people have been cut off. If the rest can be carried out according to the plan, it will be more than enough to make this 'big business' - no matter what the Black Bamboo Club says, it will not be a futile reputation."
"You are the ones who say good things, but you know the things about Heizhu will be the best." Jun Li picked up his arms instead. "Why might you speculate where they will choose to do it?"
"Why do I have to speculate? Didn't I catch a few people just now? Just ask. Anyway, I'm not the Black Bamboo Association's position now."
"Okay, then this matter will be left to you - when will you set off next?"
"It should be in the afternoon. Do you want to follow me to meet the owner of Manor Xia?"
Jun Li shook his head and said, "No need. My identity is a bit awkward. Even if Lord Xia doesn't care, Ge Chuan should be more careful. You should not mention me to others for now."
"Then how do you walk with us in the future?"
"I will follow you, in any case, it must be nearby, and the farthest is only two or three miles away. You don't have to worry about this." Jun Li smiled. "You walk on the road and intercept your people on the road. If I don't walk on the road, why can I intercept them again? But Lord Xia is around you, but you must be careful at all times." He paused, "We also have to make an appointment for a warning signal for mutual communication."
Chen Fengming thought for a while, looked up and saw a willow tree with tender leaves not far away, and said, "How about that?"
Jun Li went over to him and saw that he had picked up a slightly more mature one. He pinched the leaves with wider leaves and gently blew them on his lips. Then a different sound came out. "How is it?" Chen Fengming said casually, picking the leaves.
Jun Li remembered the okra playing with bamboo leaves on a cruise ship in West Lake that day, and was a little surprised: "Why do you have this?"
"It's not difficult, you try." Chen Fengming picked another piece and handed it to him. "When I was young, I often used the tone of the leaf as a secret code to exchange messages, which was a kind of game - no one in our place could do it."
Jun Li had to take the leaves and put them on his lips, and tried to blow them like Shen Fengming. There was a sound, but the pitch seemed to be not controlled by himself.
He suddenly remembered the thorn that he tried to learn but couldn't learn that day. His lips, which were stuck to the leaves, suddenly blew and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Fengming said.
Jun Li was still smiling. "It's nothing, I'm just thinking... It's a pity that I'm not okra." He said and took down the leaves, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't learn it."
Chen Fengming gave him a blank look: "It's been so long, Mrs. Xiang hasn't taught you a lesson?"
Jun Li was helpless: "If you knew how lazy she was to pay attention to me now, you wouldn't ask that."
"Forget it, if you can't, just don't know, just listen." Chen Fengming said, "I heard her a lot of listening to the piano? The Gongshang Jie Zheng can still tell the difference? I will express some meaning according to each sound, just remember it."
"Just listen...it's OK, but how can I send you a message?"
"You - since you don't know how to do it, you can only shout 'Help'." Chen Fengming smiled.
Jun Li knew that he was joking and smiled: "It's a pity that it's not the New Year. Otherwise, if you go to the city to buy some fireworks, it can be used as a code word."
A word seemed to remind Chen Fengming. He pondered for a moment and said, "I brought some - before I went to see Mrs. Ling, the boy gave me a bundle - do you know, his grandfather can make these things."
"Make fireworks...? I haven't dealt with his grandfather, I don't know. Well, he also gave me a sand and stone hidden weapon tube. It seems that he is more generous to you."
"That's right, that fireworks are just hidden weapons, which are very delicate. I'll find them later and find a way for you before leaving Quzhou."
As the two said, Chen Fengming even informed Heizhu's secret codes that had been communicated with each other in the past, and said, "As such a 'big business', there will definitely be a new secret code, but you should also listen to it first. Even if it may not mean that, at least you can identify the appearance."
Jun Li remembered it in his heart and looked up and said, "You have been out for a long time. Lord Xia should be on the table. Isn't it okay if you don't go?"
"I never go to such a banquet anyway, they all know it." Chen Fengming said. "It's okay, don't worry about this. Instead, I have to take some time to examine the five people in the first trial - I will tell you the result before leaving Quzhou."
Jun Li nodded and pointed not far behind him: "I'm in that 'Talented Tea House', you can see the convenience."
"Come on the way before noon." Chen Fengming agreed, as if he was about to leave, but suddenly he was silent again.
"What, what else hasn't been said?" Jun Li looked at him.
Chen Fengming hesitated for a moment. "No." Then he waited to turn around.
"No?" Jun Li thought for a while, suddenly saw the willow leaves in his hand, and felt something was conscious. "If you worry about okra, there is no need to be for the time being." He said.
"...I'm not worried," Chen Fengming had to be stubborn, "I just thought... why would you leave her behind? Didn't you say that you had to accompany her to keep everyone safe? If you come out like this, Zhuque will be angry, how could he not take his anger on her?"
"I'm not worried?" Jun Li smiled slightly, and then he lowered his smile. "I haven't thought about this level, but... how good the result of worrying about gains and losses is? At least in my opinion in the past few months, Suzaku must have no malice towards Okra. Even if I'm angry because of me, I won't be angry with Okra. On the contrary, here, Lord Xia is in a much more dangerous situation than Okra."
