Chapter 118 Secret(1/2)
The terrain around Daliang City is broad and the hydrological conditions are excellent.
In addition to being not far from the Yellow River, there are not only natural waterways such as Jishui, Yingshui, Danshui, and Jushui nearby, but also natural lakes such as Putianze, Pengze, and Muze, which are very suitable for the development of agriculture.
In the past, King Hui of Wei used these waterways to build large-scale water conservancy projects many times, and painstakingly managed the water network outside Daliang City, making the capital's water and land transportation extremely convenient and allowing a large number of people to move around.
Lu Wei and Ziwu have been in Wei for some time, and they are still about three to five days away from their destination.
When they stopped for a meal and rest in a small inn, the waiter suddenly brought several plates of dishes and wine that did not belong to them.
"We didn't order these things, did we?"
Ziwu held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand and looked at the waiter calmly.
"Two knights, these were sent here at the request of the guests at that table, and they have already been paid for."
The waiter smiled broadly and pointed to the table at the end of the hall: "You two, please take your time."
After saying that, he left and went to do other things. Lu Wei and Ziwu looked at the waiter and pointed before leaving:
There were three people at the table, and the gentle young man sitting facing them kept staring at the two of them. When they looked over, the young man waved and said hello in a friendly way.
Lu Wei glanced at his clothes and smiled in response.
"Master, is he also a brother from our farm family?"
Ziwu looked back and asked.
Lu Wei lowered his head and took a mouthful of fish: "No, I don't know him either, he's a stranger."
"Oh~" Ziwu stared in the direction of the man again, and found that he did not look over again, but was chatting with the people at the same table, smiling happily.
"To be courteous for nothing. There are so many people in this inn, why does he want to make friends with us?"
The lobby of the inn was indeed full of people, and at a rough count there were nearly twenty tables of various types of knight-errant merchants.
"It's not just about making friends with us." Lu Wei chuckled nonchalantly: "Look at the waiter again."
As he spoke, Ziwu turned around and found that the waiter had brought the same dish to the table of the two new rangers who came in.
Such behavior reminded Lu Wei of Lu Qing's behavior when he first met Lu Qing. However, something different was that Lu Qing's purpose at that time was to deepen his reputation in his hometown and try to make friends with passing rangers to eliminate the Zhuangshan thief Zhuang Jia.
p>
As for the young man who spends a lot of money in this inn, judging from his clothes, he must be a visitor from out of town. Such behavior will not help him stabilize his reputation...unless he is very famous himself.
Or maybe he just has a lot of money and makes some random good connections...
"Interesting, since he does this, he definitely doesn't mind if I go and make friends with him."
Ziwu put down his chopsticks, and after receiving a nod from the master of the hall, he stood up and went to the young man's table.
In Lu Wei's sight, Ziwu was invited by the young man to sit down. In addition to him, one of the two rangers who had just entered also stood up and walked over to sit down and test it too.
A table of three people became five people.
The surrounding drinkers didn't feel strange. Everyone just glanced at it casually and continued to do their own thing.
While Hall Master Lu was eating, he recovered his mind and considered the opportunity for him to act in Daliang.
The Xinling Temple cannot escape in the city, and the Armored Gate cannot escape in the city. After Zuimeng Tower merged with Daliang Tantai last year, although it still remains in Daliang, according to Situ Wanli’s news, Hua Ying, the principal, tried to escape in the city.
Another address for Zuimenglou was built in Puyang City on the border of Wei State.
Ready to move at any time.
It's not far from Daze Mountain.
"I stayed in Zhao State for a long time. Lu Ni and the others and Mei Sanniang who came from Daze Mountain should have already met in the city."
"Just leave it to Mei Sanniang to dissuade the Pijia Sect disciples from joining the farm. Dianqing, the current leader of the Pijia Sect, is a person who misses old friendships. Even if he discovers Mei Sanniang's behavior, he will not hurt her."
p>
"And Zhang Er and Chen Yu have been roaming back and forth in Wei and Chu these years. I wrote to them at the end of last year. They must have been waiting for me in Xinling Temple for a long time. I can wait until I enter the city to accommodate them.
Do it first."
"As for Zuimenglou, my goal is to only have half of the say. This will allow the snow girl to compete with the flower shadow girl. It will not be difficult to choose a Gonggongtang agent from among the Dantai dancers."
p>
"Also counting the time, Xiaomeng, the future head of the Taoist Heavenly Sect, has been born for about two years at this time. She also has rare natural white hair. With this information, the disciples may be able to find out some information."
p>
"Determine Xiaomeng's location first, so that when Qin attacks Wei in the future, if I rescue her, she will owe me the favor of saving her life!"
"Finally, among the local ranger talents in Wei, I will look for anyone who is as wandering as Ziwu, and I will accept him together!"
"After taking away all the resources that can be taken away from Daliang City, the leader of this hall will go south to Chu..."
After analyzing what he was going to do in Wei, Ziwu also came back to test:
"The other party's name is Xu Wang. He used to be from Wei, but now he is from Qin."
"The purpose of his trip was to visit his homeland and talk about his father's last wish when he was a child. By the way, he would marry a Liang Wei girl. According to him, this was another one of his father's last wishes."
"The family's wealth is not very large, but he doesn't think these yellow and white things are rare, so he spends money generously in the Wei Kingdom without asking for anything in return."
After reporting the young man's information, Ziwu lowered his head and ate for a while. The other person's identity was too ordinary and not worth his trouble.
And Lu Wei recited the name "Xu Wang" twice, but he really had no impression in his mind. At most, he was somewhat familiar with this "Xu" surname. It seemed that he had killed someone with the surname Xu?
The other person is not a character in the original work, and I don’t know if he is a historical figure, but in any case, since Xu Wang is rich and behaves differently from ordinary people, he can be befriended.
As for how much friendship he deserves from the hall master, it depends on whether the other party behaves in the future.
After eating, Lu Wei and Ziwu continued on their way. They took the horses for a walk and chatted about sword skills for a while. When they were ready to mount their horses and gallop, Xu Wang from the inn happened to follow them: <

"Are you two brothers going to Daliang? How about we go together?"
With a smile on his face, he cupped his fists at the two of them according to the etiquette of the world.
"Meeting each other means being destined, so it's natural."
Ziwu remained silent, and Lu Wei agreed immediately. He was about to observe Xu Wang again: the other party did not ask to go with him because he happened to have the same destination as him. There must be some other reason.
As for what the real reason is...since he wants to go with him, it will definitely be exposed at some point.
——————
In Daliang City, in a spacious courtyard.
Lu Ni, Xue Nu, and Mei Sanniang stood outside the field, watching Xiao Yan'er execute the basic sword moves meticulously.
What they rented was a larger loft, which belonged to the Pijia Sect industry. Mei Sanniang personally negotiated with the disciple in charge of the matter in the Pijia Sect and got it at a more reasonable price.
When Mei Sanniang learned in Daze Mountain that Hall Master Lu wanted to admit the disciples of the Armored Sect into the farmhouse, she did not make an immediate decision. Instead, she frowned and thought for several days, and finally learned that the Qin State was gathering troops in Nanyang.
, and finally made up my mind.
She is already unwilling to serve for the bastard King Wei, and it would be even more sad to let her fellow disciples die for the bastard King Wei!
After hurriedly arriving in Daliang, she waited in the city for a month before meeting up with Lu Nixue Nu.
Mei Sanniang is straightforward and very responsible for her duties, so both Lu Ni and Xue Nu can get along well with her.
From the beginning, her level of care and responsibility for Xiao Yan'er was no less than that of Xue Nu, and she even won the recognition of the two girls.
Since Hall Master Lu didn't know when they would arrive, they focused all their attention on Xiao Yan'er these days. Lu Ni was no stranger to Daliang City, and she was the only one among the three women who knew the true reason why Lu Wei asked Ji Yan to come to Daliang City.
The man of reason.
But she was very careful not to tell any outsiders the news, nor did she contact the disciples of Xinling Temple privately... After all, she killed that person with her own hands...
This news is currently secret, but the Luowang organization knows it! At the critical moment in the future, Luowang will definitely expose the true cause of Xinling Jun's death.
However, she is not worried about this, because by then these Xinlingjun disciples will have already entered the farmhouse, and they will really die if they have any other ideas in the hands of the master.
"Huh", Xiao Yan'er finished her sword dance on the court, picked up the scabbard on the ground, inserted the Frightened Salamander Sword, put it on the sword stand on her toes, and then trotted to the side of the court, letting Mei Sanniang use her wet hands to
Silk wiped away the sweat on his forehead:
"Thank you, Sister Mei."
"Mom, Sister Xue Nu, I have gone back to my room to practice my internal skills."
After saying that, Ji Yan ran away jumping up and down.
Mei Sanniang, who had put away the wet wipes, couldn't help but sigh: "Ayan is so sensible at such a young age, and he will definitely do great things in the future."
Snow Girl laughed and hugged Lu Ni's arm: "It's all because of Sister Lu Ni's good teaching~"
"..." Lu Ni curled his lips and smiled lightly, but in his mind he remembered the conversation he had with his daughter on the first night when he came to Daliang:
"Mother, is my father a big shot in Wei?"
"Brother, the hall master, has always been very tolerant towards me. It must be that there is something important in Ayan that he has taken a liking to, right?"
