Chapter 114: A Song by the River God
"Brother Shenjun, do you want to drive us away?"
Qingyun walked towards the shopkeeper's room with a smile.
"Huh?"
The door creaked open, and a hand stretched out from the door, grabbing Qingyun and pulling him into the room.
"It's actually you?
I know you are near Qizhou these days, but I don’t want to bump into you by chance."
The person who came was indeed Li Shenjun,
He was already handsome, and now he was wearing a bright red Confucian robe, which made him look even more enchanting.
Guys and Dolls, it is natural for men to wear red, but not many actually wear red to show off.
But he was not the only one wearing red today, the innkeeper and Li Shenjun were also dressed in the same style.
The two have similar body shapes, similar ages, and even look somewhat similar.
Covered by such eye-catching clothes, it would be impossible to tell who is who unless the two of them are placed face to face.
Qingyun knew clearly in his heart that the two of them were dressed like this deliberately to hide their eyes from others.
No matter who goes to the street, the locals will think that they are seeing the innkeeper, and they will never expect that a foreigner named Li Shenjun has been here.
"I also want to ask Brother Shenjun why he is here.
Shopkeeper Li, what is this?"
Qingyun's eyes wandered to the shopkeeper. Li Shenjun understood and hurriedly introduced,
"This is my clan brother, Li Xunhuan.
He went to Luo with me back then, but after all, the young man's temperament is uninhibited and he loves freedom.
So I escaped from prison and came to Pingyuan to open this inn."
When Li Shenjun first arrived in Luoyang, he was recruited as Hwarang.
Judging from Li Xunhuan's demeanor, it is estimated that the so-called "going to Luo together" is actually a metaphor for flowers blooming and waiting to be picked.
However, Qingyun accidentally pointed it out. He had a brief chat with Li Xunhuan and then asked Li Shenjun,
"Brother Shenjun hasn't said why he came to the plain yet."
Li Shenjun wanted to talk about it again, and Qingyun became a little impatient, so he simply made it clear,
"Brother Li is waiting for Xiao Baoyu, right?
It seems that he and Ruan Qixian did not go south, but turned north?"
Li Shenjun's complexion changed drastically when he heard this, his eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and Xiangbi also changed several ideas in his mind.
Li Xunhuan was also stunned. He looked at Li Shenjun, waiting for the latter to give a hint.
However, Li Shenjun was not a reckless person. He knew Qingyun's details very well, and even with the combined strength of the two people in front of him, it was impossible to subdue the head of the Tan Sect.
What's more, there are nine helpers outside.
After some careful calculation in his mind, Li Shenjun calmed down.
He is an official of the Northern Dynasty and the chief of staff of the fourth prince.
Xiao Baoqian turned over the famous Hulu Tianji of the Southern Dynasties.
If word of their friendship spreads, Li Shenjun's career will be as stagnant as his father's.
Qingyun roughly guessed what he was hiding behind his complicated expression, so he added,
"Brother Shenjun, I'm afraid I've misunderstood. I'm not interested in the details of your relationship with Ren Shentong Xiao Baoyu.
It’s just that an old friend of Ruan Qixian is traveling with us.
They have a close friendship, so if it is convenient, I would also like to ask Brother Li to arrange for them to meet."
"oh?"
Li Shenjun has known Qingyun for more than a day, so he naturally trusts his character.
Hearing Qingyun's explanation, he knew that the other party was not looking for trouble, so he listened patiently to the end.
Qingyun briefly introduced Yile's identity, and Li Shenjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ruan Qixian still has such a strong relationship with Yanbei?
This is fine, fleeing from Liaodong in the north and heading south from Haihai. Although this route is tortuous, it is the safest.
Well, then you can stay here and I will make arrangements.
I heard that Li Daoyuan also came out with you this time?
He is one of Li Biao's men, and I don't want to meet him if he quarrels with others to the point of risking his life."
Qingyun smiled knowingly after hearing this.
"Understood! Let's stay here.
If there’s anything else, let’s talk about it tonight.”
"Well, let's talk about it tonight."
Qingyun's greatest advantage is his sense of proportion.
He noticed that Li Shenjun had sneaked to Pingyuan and wanted to clear out the guests in the store, so he guessed the truth.
But he also understood that the other party had concerns, so he met alone in secret without alerting others, and he caught the big fish easily.
He persuaded everyone to take a rest early on the pretext of crossing the river tomorrow, but he invited a famous person from Yile alone, saying that he wanted to talk about Yanbei Tianzong's actions.
The celebrity was saved by Qingyun, so naturally he didn't want to dampen his interest, so he followed Qingyun back to his room.
Qingyun's topic at the beginning was indeed related to Tianzong.
For example, which tribes in Yanbei are close to Tianzong?
Who else is there in Tianzong planning among the white mountains and black waters, and so on.
When the night got a little deeper, Qingyun suddenly asked mysteriously,
"It's getting late, do you want to go out and do some activities?"
"go out?"
"Well, go see the person you want to see."
Yile Mingren didn't react at first,
He had seen Qingyun's escape skills, and they were indeed at a superb level.
But as a master of escape, he would not believe that there was any magic or magic that could see through the sky and reach him instantly, let alone any summoning magic that could directly bring Ruan Qixian to his eyes.
"I went south to the Central Plains just to meet the immortal master, and I didn't want to cause any unnecessary complications.
I will inquire around for a few days, and if there is no news about the Immortal Master, I will return to Yanbei."
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the immortal master right now."
"What?"
Qingyun was afraid of alarming others, so it took him a long time to calm down the celebrity.
The two of them sneaked out of the upstairs guest room and down the steps like thieves to look for Li Shenjun.
There was no light downstairs, it was pitch dark. Just when the two of them reached the stairs, a voice rang,
"Is he really a celebrity?"
No answer.
When the celebrity first met Master Ruan, he was just an orphan who had just remembered.
From children to adults, enlightenment, wisdom, and moral integrity, the most important ten years in the growth process of celebrities are under the care and guidance of each other.
That kind of feeling is like a father or a teacher.
However, Master Ruan Xian has always insisted that celebrities will become great talents in the future, and he himself is not worthy of being his master.
He has never used secular etiquette to restrain celebrities, but how can the old friendship be lost?
A ball of orange light lit up, and the celebrity Yile leaned against the wall panel, his cheeks dripping with tears.
He held a ball of flame in his hand, and his eyes reflected the light of hope.
What responded to him was a ball of red flames,
Ruan Qixian's long beard was flowing, and he was already in tears.
"Silly boy, you are actually here.
It seems I shouldn’t have told you.”
Crack, crackle, crackle.
Qingyun saw that the two of them were in love and had a candlelight conversation at the top of the stairs, and couldn't move any further.
He was afraid that others would peek at him again, so he reminded the two of them in his own way.
Where the white lightning flashed, a handsome young man's face was reflected.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and talk."
Li Shenjun, Li Xunhuan, Xiao Baoqi, and Yunbao, plus Ruan Qixian, Yile Mingren and Qingyun, made this small room for the shopkeeper to rest quite cramped.
Everyone present here has mixed emotions.
Both Ruan Qixian and Yile Mingren are trying hard to suppress their emotions to prevent the thousands of words they talked about after their reunion from becoming the topic at hand and delaying important events.
