Gu Jingyun raised his head and glanced at him lightly, surprised in his heart, but asked calmly, "Who is your honored guest?"

Yuan Shanting coughed lightly, and then he remembered that although he had inquired about Gu Jingyun with the waiter in the shop, and had encountered him twice, the other party obviously hadn't paid attention to him, let alone know his identity.

Yuan Shanting laughed and said: "Master Gu doesn't know me, but I have admired Mr. Gu's name for a long time, and it happened that they lived in the same inn when they were in Kaifeng Mansion, so I have met Mr. Gu several times."

Yuan Shanting clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I'm next, Yuan Shanting."

Gu Jingyun cupped his hands and returned the salute, "Gu Jingyun, please sit down, Mr. Yuan, everyone please sit down."

The Jianghu people standing at the door came in and filled the main room at once. When the cloak was lifted, Gu Jingyun saw four foreign people with high noses and deep eyes at a glance.

Yuan Shanting introduced on his behalf: "These four are knights from the Western Regions, this is Heihan, this is Huilan, Shi Guku and Tudan."

Heihan was obviously the leader of the four. He put his right fist on his left chest and bowed slightly to salute Gu Jingyun, and said with a smile, "I'm bothering Mr. Gu."

Gu Jingyun glanced over the Jianghu people in the room, and saw that Heihan and the other two people from the Central Plains were together, while Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian and their subordinates were standing separately, obviously not together.

Last night, the landlord said that two groups of people had moved into the village before they came, and it was obviously them.

Gu Jingyun asked them to sit down, and said straight to the point: "I don't know what the purpose of these heroes is."

Heihan smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Gu, we were in a hurry and didn't bring enough food, and we are not used to the food of the villagers. I heard that you brought a lot of white rice and noodles, so we want to share with you Buy some."

Gu Jingyun never cared about these things, he looked at Erlin.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you," a door suddenly opened, and Li Baolu stood in front of the door and looked at Heihan and said, "Our current rice is only about twelve catties, and noodles are only seven or eight catties, and it's raining outside now. We can't leave for a while, and we don't know how long we will stay here. There are five people in our group, and we have to eat two catties for a meal, and six catties for a day, and the rice noodles are enough for us to eat for three days."

Her eyes flicked back and forth between Heihan and Yuan Shanting, and said with a smile: "Even if I can spare some, it's not much. There are so many of you, and you're all grown men. I'm afraid the spare is not enough to fit your teeth." What, are you sure?"

Yuan Shanting kept smiling on his face, it was obviously very cold, but the folding fan in his hand kept fanning, Li Baolu felt cold for him looking at it.

Heihan frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said, "I wonder if Mr. Gu is willing to give us some flour? Four or five catties is enough."

"You have to ask my wife about this." Gu Jingyun lowered his head, perfectly displaying the image of fear of guilt.

Li Baolu leaned against the door and looked at Heihan with a smile, "Okay, but only four catties are allowed, and how you divide it is up to you."

Heihan turned his head to discuss with Yuan Shanting, "Hero Yuan, we are really not used to the food in the Central Plains, so I wonder if we can give us all the four catties of white noodles."

Yuan Shanting nodded generously, "Don't dare to refuse."

It's just coarse grains, who hasn't suffered through the rivers and lakes?

Not to mention that there are still black-faced corn now, even the bark of weeds and trees they gnaw on. Wenyuan Pavilion is a Jianghu faction, but it is also a business, and it is hard to be a master.

Yuan Shanting generously gave up the benefits to others, and Su Anjian behind him almost gritted his teeth.

Li Baolu asked Erlin to share four catties of flour with him, and Heihan generously gave him a piece of silver.

Erlin was stunned, the silver was worth ten taels, and this one hundred Wen thing was sold for ten taels...

Erlin hurriedly looked at Li Baolu, Li Baolu waved and said: "Since the hero rewarded you, you just accept it."

Only then did Erlin put away the money.

Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian couldn't help turning their heads to look at her, but they saw her looking at them with piercing eyes and asked, "Is there anything else for the heroes?"

Yuan Shanting saw her intent to see off the guests, coughed lightly and was about to get up, but Heihan sat firmly on the chair and smiled: "Look, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are not like people in the Jianghu, are they scholars?"

Gu Jingyun picked up his tea and wanted to take a sip, but Li Baolu held down his hand, so he had no choice but to put down the tea and nodded, "That's right, we are scholars."

Heihan exclaimed, "I have always respected scholars. I heard that there are many academies in Dachu. As long as you can afford Shuxiu, you can study, right?"

"Not bad." Gu Jingyun asked with a smile, "Isn't Heihan's hometown like this?"

Heihan shook his head and said enviously, "In my hometown, only nobles can read and write."

"Oh, where is Heihan's hometown?"

Heihan smiled embarrassedly, "My hometown is in the east of Jinshan Mountain, a place called Kebdo, it's a small place, I'm afraid Mr. Gu has never heard of it."

Gu Jingyun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "That's the junction of Wala and Tatar. It is said that there are rich medicinal materials, among which snow lotus is the most famous. I think it must be a very beautiful place."

Heihan's pupils shrank, and he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu is really knowledgeable. I thought that no one in the Central Plains would know about Kebuduo. Did you hear about it from your elders?"

Gu Jingyun shook his head, "From the books, there are records in "Kuo Di Zhi", "Nine Regions" and "Xu Shi's Travel Notes", but it has been a long time ago. At the junction of the big tribes, I am afraid that there is a big difference."

Heihan was amazed in his heart, but smiled on his face: "Although I haven't read those books, Kebuduo has not changed much in these years, and it should be no different from the records in the book. Mr. Gu is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. You can know the affairs of the world by sitting at home, are all scholars like this?"

Gu Jingyun twitched his lips and said, "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Heihan Hero thinks too highly of scholars."

Li Baolu saw that it was impossible for Heihan to leave, so he could only turn around and go back to his room to make medicine for Gu Jingyun.

Yuan Shanting lowered his eyes, sat on the chair calmly, took a sip of tea, and smiled coldly in his heart. As a veteran in collecting information, he could of course hear that Hei Han was testing Gu Jingyun's background, but Gu Jingyun looked at the young man, He acted impeccably, and his own news did not leak out, but he touched a lot of Heihan's situation.

Heihan looked at Gu Jingyun in surprise, smelling the smell of medicine floating in the air, "Young master Gu is sick?"

Gu Jingyun smiled slightly and said, "Yesterday I was exposed to the rain and got a bit chilly."

Seeing the little lady standing at the door and staring at them again, Yuan Shanting felt amused in his heart, knowing that if he didn't leave, he would make people angry. He got up and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Gu is not feeling well, then we won't bother you, we will come back to bother you some other day."

Although Heihan was a pity, he had no choice but to leave with Yuan Shanting. Gu Jingyun sent them to the door of the main room, watched them go through the yard and opened the gate before turning back to the house.

Li Baolu touched his hand, and when he saw it was cold, he pushed him onto the kang, "Go up and cover him with the quilt, the medicine will be ready in a while."

Gu Jingyun obediently wrapped himself in a quilt, but looked outside the half-opened window at the drenching winter rain outside, and said in a barely audible way: "Although Tatar and Wala are two big tribes, in fact They come from the same line, and although they have been targeted at times over the years, they can unite as one when facing the Great Chu. The fifth prince of Tatar is still imprisoned in the capital."

"Do you suspect that Heihan is not a member of the Jianghu, but a member of the Tatar or Oirat court?"

Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment before saying: "It's just a hunch, there is no real evidence, but it's too dangerous to let a person from an outside domain run amok in Dachu, I will write a letter to the Kaifeng government garrison, and let them make a decision. "

Li Baolu nodded, poured out the medicine and handed it to him, "It's a bit hot, let it cool down for a while before drinking."

"How is Zigui?"

"Still sleeping." Li Baolu also had a headache, "He is sicker than you, I'm afraid he needs to rest for two more days."

Knowing that he was not the worst, Gu Jingyun was relieved. He drank the medicine in one gulp, handed the medicine bowl to her and said, "I'll ask someone to heat the food on the stove, you can eat something first, don't worry about the outside affairs."

After all, it was just a suspicion, and it was true. The two of them at most reminded the court that they had no right to do anything.

But at this time Heihan asked with a cold face: "Are you sure he is Qin Xinfang's nephew?"

Huilan lowered her head and said, "General, I have seen the imprint on their carriage. It is indeed the badge of the Qin family, and Qin Xinfang's nephew is indeed Gu Jingyun, and he is also the teacher of the present prince."

Heihan frowned, "That young man can be the prince's teacher? Isn't the prince already crowned?"

Gu Jingyun looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, right?

"It is said that he is erudite and talented. After passing the examination, he was admitted as a fourth-rank attendant lecturer by the late emperor. He also made the grandson at that time and the current crown prince worship him as his teacher."

Heihan's eyes became brighter, he squeezed his fist and said: "My father was killed by Gu Xiuneng back then, now I will let his grandson pay for his life!"

"General, there are many Jiang Hu people living in this village, and they are not weak in martial arts. If we do it here..."

Heihan raised his hand to stop his words, and said with a sneer: "I know, we can wait until we leave the village, not to mention killing him like this is too cheap for him. Since his status is so noble, naturally we should make the best use of it." , such as exchanging hostages."

Huilan's eyes lit up. They came to Dachu this time to try to rescue the fifth prince, so that the fifth prince would not be taken as a hostage when the two countries were at war. But what if they also have a hostage?

When Li Baolu came to the kitchen, five children were surrounded by a stove, salivating from the smell of the pot, and stretched their hands to the stove to keep warm.

Li Baolu couldn't help but pause. The pot boiled with big bones. Heihan and the others bought a pig with the villagers in the morning and slaughtered it. They kept one for themselves, and Yuan Shanting shared the other with them. To drive out the cold, so Li Baolu prepared ingredients for Erlin to cook.

At this time, the bottom of the soup was boiling, and bursts of aroma wafted out. The children were all cooing, staring straight at the pot on the stove.
