Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 48

Chapter 48 A day in the capital. The wild goose does not return: Ha.

The next day, Yan Bugui got up early as usual. He went out of the city to practice swordsmanship and then returned to the inn under the guidance of Bai Renyu. His three companions along the way and Liu Yuan, who had “left me alone” all night, also got up.

However, Guo Xiang, Zuo Mingzhu and Bai Youjin were all having breakfast in the lobby on the first floor, while Liu Yuan stayed in the room and did not go out. Xiaoyu quietly flew to the window to poke his head in. Liu Yuan glared at him and immediately flew back to his master’s shoulder to whisper softly, harshly condemning Liu Yuan’s rude behavior of intimidating the little parrot.

The swordsman guessed that Brother Liu’s anger had not subsided, so he decided not to get in front of Liu Yuan for the time being. He went directly to the table of new friends and asked them about their next plans.

“Sister Mingzhu and I plan to take a walk around the city.” Obviously, we arrived late last night, and we were mainly looking for people and an inn to stay. We just walked around and looked around. The two little girls who rarely travel far haven’t seen enough, so they plan to walk around again, and invite Yan Bugui and Bai Youjin to come together.

Nothing happened, so Yan Bugui agreed on the spot.However, Bai Youjin declined on the grounds that he wanted to look for a suitable job in the city, and quickly walked out of the inn first.

“Brother Yan, Brother Liu, won’t you come together?” After Bai Youjin left, Guo Xiang, who was about to leave, remembered that there was another person, and then asked the people around him.

Before Yan Bugui could answer, Liu Yuan’s voice came from the second floor: “What together?” It seemed that he happened to hear Guo Xiang mentioning him when he was going downstairs.

After saying good morning to each other and exchanging pleasantries, Yan Bugui took the initiative and said, “Brother Liu, we plan to visit the capital. If you have nothing else to do, why don’t you come together?”

“I have nothing else to do, let’s go for a walk together.” With outsiders present, Liu Yuan did not show any abnormality and replied in a normal tone.But behind the invisible eyes of the two girls, he gave Yan Bugui a look that said, “Let’s continue chatting later.”

Regarding this, Yan Bugui put his hand on the edge of the bamboo hat and pressed it down gently. He didn’t dare to respond immediately, and he didn’t dare to say bad. He obviously wanted to pretend to be confused and get over it temporarily.Liu Yuan was too lazy to argue with him about this detail. Anyway, he was here and he would catch him sooner or later. He could escape the first year of junior high but not the fifteenth.

The capital during the day has a different kind of liveliness than at night, prosperous and peaceful, and the smell of fireworks from every house is diffused everywhere.Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu were quite interested, and as the capital of a dynasty, the capital did indeed have some rare things that were rare or even absent in other places.

Liu Yuan, who had already explored the situation in all parts of the capital, would talk about some relevant gossip he heard every time he went to one. It could be seen that he had not been in vain when he was alone before.During this stroll, they walked from morning to afternoon, and ate lunch along the street.Now that the sun has not completely set, people are already a little tired, so they find a teahouse to relax and have some tea and snacks.

“I wonder if Mr. Bai is still okay…” As they sat down to chat, Zuo Mingzhu suddenly mentioned Bai Youjin, who was not here.Different from those of them who are looking for people and having fun, Bai Youjin obviously came to the capital to seek life. Not only is his mentality different, but his consumption concepts are also different, and he is not willing to accept “help” from his friends.

“There should be many opportunities in the capital, but good opportunities are not easy to come by. Those who are easy to come by may not take a fancy to them.” Liu Yuan knows the situation in the capital better than others. He can only say that opportunities can be found everywhere. However, according to his observation of “Mr. Bai” yesterday, it is not easy for such an ambitious person who is unwilling to be inferior to others, even if he finds a transitional job first.

After saying that, he looked at Yan Bugui, with a vague curiosity in his eyes: “How did the five of you with different personalities get together?” and “There was never any conflict on the road.” Although they had a meal together last night, they didn’t talk much about their mutual understanding.

Drinking tea in the teahouse, Yan Bugui had already taken off his bamboo hat. Now he couldn’t avoid Liu Yuan’s eyes and was silent for a while.Regarding the acquaintance with other people, he thought about mentioning it to his brother Liu yesterday.But when Liu Yuan came up, he asked about him and Xie Donghai. Later, the conversation became more and more angry, and he even kicked him out of the room in the middle of the night, so he didn’t have time to talk.

As for whether to say it now… He gave a “it’s a long story” look in return, and then his eyes drifted to the side. Bai Renyu, who was standing on the handle of his knife, suddenly said: “Lu Xiaofeng! Lu Xiaofeng!”

Well, someone around did happen to mention the name “Lu Xiaofeng”. When the little parrot said this, other people’s attention was involuntarily biased and caught those gossips——

“…I heard that Jin Jiuling was killed. Is it true?”

“Which Jin Jiuling is it?”

“Who else can be that Shaolin lay disciple who once served as a hawk dog for the imperial court at the Six Gates!”

“Shh! Keep your voice down! Have you forgotten where this place is? The emperor dares to speak and say ‘court eagle dog’ at his feet. I’m really not afraid of someone knocking on the door and wiping my neck when I sleep at night!”

“Don’t go too far! How is Jin Jiuling? Didn’t you hear that he stopped working at Liumen? What happened?”

“Have you ever heard of the Embroidery Thief? It’s Jin Jiuling who is shouting to catch the thief!”

“Oh, is it true or false?”

“Of course it’s true! And the person who exposed Jin Jiuling was his good friend Lu Xiaofeng! It is said that the Condor Heroes were also at the scene. The news is absolutely unmistakable!”

“I have long heard that Jin Jiuling is a very particular person. He has either committed corruption or accepted bribes. I guess it was not that he wanted to leave Liumen at the beginning, but someone discovered that his hands and feet were unclean!”

“This is hindsight on your part… Who would have thought of something like this before it was revealed?”

…

“Lu Xiaofeng, who is rumored to have four eyebrows! And the Condor Heroes!” Guo Xiang seemed to want to hear more interesting stories about the world, but unfortunately there were too many and too many noises in the teahouse. She was slightly distracted, and could no longer hear the topic she was originally curious about. She had to look at Yan Bugui, “Brother Yan, I remember that you have also met the Condor Heroes and the others?”

Yan Bugui nodded and said thoughtfully: “It should have happened after I left. At that time, the great hero Lu Xiaofeng seemed to be investigating the theft case of the palace, and he once mentioned that one of his friends entrusted him with help in this case.”

Zuo Mingzhu asked curiously: “Could it be that Lu Daxia’s friend is Jin Jiuling?”

Yan Bugui actually didn’t know for sure. He only knew that Lu Xiaofeng lost a confidante in order to investigate the case. When he was about to leave after receiving the information about Liu Yuan from the Beggar Clan, it seemed that the other party hadn’t found many clues yet, so he shook his head: “I don’t know. After all, my encounter with Lu Xiaofeng was not a pleasant one, and I don’t know much about it.”

Liu Yuan immediately raised his eyebrows and asked: “What kind of unpleasantness is it?”

Yan Bugui said “Uh”: “Lu Xiaofeng was looking for someone very important to him, and the clue pointed to a woman wearing red embroidered shoes, but I had seen her poison her before and had a fight with her. We met again that day, and she poisoned the sugar-roasted chestnuts I sold, so I killed her – when Lu Xiaofeng showed up and planned to temporarily save her life.”

After a pause, Yan Bugui looked at Liu Yuan and continued to add: “The woman is said to be named Gongsun Lan, and she is the descendant of the former Gongsun Aunt, so some people also call her ‘Gongsun Aunt’. She also uses two swords. However, although her Qinggong and swordsmanship are good, I don’t think she deserves this name.”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu seemed to have no superfluous thoughts, but Liu Yuan’s expression inevitably became a little strange – well, as long as he thought of the two senior Gongsun, it would be difficult for the children of Ba Dao Villa to keep their expressions calm if they had heard a little about their old master.Fortunately, he restrained himself quickly and the two girls didn’t notice.

However, Liu Yuan still squinted his eyes and scratched Yan Bugui with his gaze – this kid definitely did it on purpose!Yan Bugui responded with an innocent expression, as if he didn’t know why his elder brother suddenly seemed a little angry again.

They didn’t drink the afternoon tea too late, and then went shopping outside. In the evening, they returned to Tongfu Inn to have dinner in the lobby on the first floor – Bai Youjin didn’t seem to have returned yet, and Tie Shou, who had returned to the capital, seemed to have ended his vacation early.

However, the second master still remembered asking someone to send a message saying that he had been busy recently, and apologized for not being able to accompany them around the capital. He also said that if they encountered any trouble, they could go to the Shenhou Mansion to find him.

For this reason, Guo Xiang couldn’t help but sigh: “Brother Tie is really thoughtful.”

Zuo Mingzhu said: “Is Mr. Tie Er busy because of the ‘Battle of the Full Moon’? There seem to be a lot of swordsmen in the capital.”

It is still some time before the kendo showdown agreed between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, and it seems that the two parties have not arrived in the capital in advance. However, the number of people in the capital is much more than normal. You can hear accents and various rumors from different places everywhere when you walk on the road – a large part of them are swordsmen.

“Maybe? I just don’t know if those two can really compete on the top of the Forbidden City.” Guo Xiang’s question is also a question shared by many people in the world.The news of the “Battle of the Full Moon” has spread a lot. The emperor should have known that someone was interested in his Forbidden City, but there has been no expression – no explicit hint, which made many people murmur in their hearts.

Although Yan Bugui is also curious about the strength of both sides in this decisive battle, now he has another point that is even more curious: “Emperor… His Majesty, is your martial arts strong?” In other words, is there a brother who is particularly good at fighting?

There was no need for the two girls to answer. Liu Yuan, who had already found out clearly, immediately replied: “That one doesn’t know martial arts.”

Yan Bugui said “Oh” without interest, and the topic ended.

After all, they had been walking all day, and everyone was more or less tired. The two girls quickly returned to the room to rest.Liu Yuan glanced at Yan Bugui, knowing that the amount of activity today would not tire him out, but he still asked his brother to wash away his fatigue first, and then come over to continue talking about the unfinished topic yesterday.

Yan Bugui didn’t resist too much. Except for Xie Donghai’s secret, which he couldn’t talk about casually, he could still mention other things, so he nodded and took Bai Renyu back to the room, waiting for the hotel waiter to bring hot water.

The hot water in the inn came very quickly. Yan Bugui let Bai Renyu fly a little further away and put the knife aside.He stirred the hot water with his hands, then lowered his eyes and slowly took off his coat, leaving only a layer of white underwear, and entered the barrel.

At this moment, a cold light suddenly lit up in the room, piercing directly from behind!
