Chapter 248: Are these all external responses?
"Where did you hear this, Taoist priest?" Xiong Jiushan did not answer Taoist priest Guanghan's question, but asked instead.
"Rumors are spreading all over the capital and have already spread here. If they were left for a little longer, I'm afraid they would have spread thousands of miles away."
What he meant was that the news that the exile Xie Yuchuan from Daliang could summon gods and spirits was no longer a secret, but on the surface, the Xie family had become abandoned children without the protection of the gods.
But rumors naturally cannot be resolved with such a simple explanation. People in the market like such legendary twists and turns in fate the most.
"That's just nonsense. As a Taoist, you should know clearly whether this is true or not. Besides, if Xie Yuchuan could communicate with spirits, why would he have been so obedient as to allow himself to be taken away by the bailiffs?"
With just one word, Xiong Jiushan kicked the ball back.
He easily dispelled Taoist Guanghan's curiosity by saying that if the Xie family had the protection of gods, how could they have fallen into such a state?
Taoist Guanghan stroked his long beard, smiled faintly, stared into Xiong Jiushan's eyes for a while, and said, "That's right."
There were footsteps outside and Xie Yuchuan came into the house.
Han Qiguang appeared before him again as "Master Guanghan".
Xie Yuchuan's expression remained calm as he first greeted Xiong Jiushan: "Master Xiong."
Xiong Jiushan nodded.
He turned to face Han Qiguang and nodded slightly, "Master, how are you?"
Han Qiguang blew his beard, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you, General. I hope you are well."
After a brief greeting, Xiong Jiushan got straight to the point: "Are you training?"
Xie Yuchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xiong Jiushan with puzzled eyes, and said, "My lord, please be careful with your words! Yuchuan and his family are now guilty."
How can we talk about training troops?
Xiong Jiushan frowned, "Some people say that you practice diligently, is that true?"
"I just moved a few times in the past three or two days. Did I cause you trouble?"
Xie Yuchuan understood what Xiong Jiushan wanted to ask, but the information from Han Qiguang was not enough at the moment. He decided to wait for two more days and see what happened next.
Xiong Jiushan is now both afraid that he will cause trouble and afraid that he will remain indifferent.
Xie Yuchuan didn't say much, but every word he said was responsive. Xiong Jiushan was at a loss as to what to do with him. He said irritably, "The Xie family is already a source of envy. It's better for them to be quiet."
Xie Yuchuan ignored what he said and said respectfully, "I will listen to you, sir."
Han Qiguang, who was sitting nearby, was delighted when he heard the tone and didn't take it to heart at all.
When turning around, Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes and glanced at Han Qiguang, only to see two fingers casually extending from the wide sleeves on the left side of Han Qiguang's body.
Two days.
After receiving the news, Xie Yuchuan walked out of the room with a calm expression and returned to his family.
The Xie family already knew what Xie Yuchuan was thinking, but they didn't know why they suddenly called him over at this moment.
"fine."
Xie Yuchuan said lightly after returning.
"Is it really nothing serious that Xiong Jiushan is looking for you for?" Zhang Dayi was a little worried.
Xie Yuchuan nodded, "No problem."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After delivering today's news to Xie Yuchuan, Han Qiguang originally planned to sit for a while and then leave, but was kept by Xiong Jiushan.
"Master, thank you for your help. Could you please help me calculate a good day to cross the mountain?"
"Master Guanghan" Han Qiguang asked, "Crossing Panlong Ridge?"
"Exactly."
Han Qiguang thought to himself, this is just the right time to find a pillow just when I was sleepy. What a coincidence.
Not to mention, on this day, his good brother Xie Yuchuan must also want to know.
But given his character, it would be awkward for him not to explain to Xiong Jiushan, so he had to raise his hand in front of him, quickly calculate once, and then look at Xiong Jiushan with a complicated look.
But he didn't speak.
Xiong Jiushan was silent for a while before he realized something and said, "Difficult?"
"No, it's just that I didn't know that you wanted to hear the truth."
Xiong Jiushan smiled, but his smile was a little cold.
Han Qiguang was very tactful. He flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back and secretly made hand gestures in his sleeves, and said seriously: "You can't set off within two days. Otherwise, there will be many twists and turns, and you will be troubled."
As for two days later...
Han Qiguang thought that Mr. Xiong must have a lot of troubles as well.
When Han Qiguang left, Xie Yuchuan watched his friend leave from afar. Han Qiguang didn't even look back. Halfway through his walk, he raised his hands as if to stretch his arms and made another "gesture" to Xie Yuchuan.
That is the signal they are most familiar with since they were young.
A dark light flashed in Xie Yuchuan's eyes.
After staying in Wulibao for one more day, Xiong Jiushan decided to lead the team to Yucheng County to report.
Just as the team was packing up to set off, the current head of the Tian family drove back.
In the distance, a horse-drawn carriage drove from the village gate all the way into the exile camp. Just then, with the driver's "Whoa", it stopped outside the guards' guard.
A middle-aged man jumped down from the driver's side and stood beside the carriage.
"Big girl, we're here."
A nimble figure lifted the curtain of the carriage with a brisk movement, jumped out from inside, and walked up to the guard with his old shopkeeper, looking around.
"I am Tian Su'e, the eldest daughter of the Tian family in Wulibao. Please inform Lord Xiong that I have something important to tell you!"
"Wait!"
The soldier went in to report the news, and soon came out and shouted.
Tian Su'e straightened her clothes before going in. The old shopkeeper who wanted to follow her was stopped outside by the soldiers.
"My Lord has only summoned Tian Su'e. Please wait outside."
Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. Although the old shopkeeper was a little worried about being stopped, he didn't say much. He just leaned against the carriage and waited for his eldest daughter.
The driver, who was taking care of the horses, came around and saw Tian Qing. He glanced back and said, "Boss Tian, did the young lady come back in such a hurry just to see the officers escorting the fugitives?"
"Wait."
Not a single extra word was said.
"If the eldest master and the second master knew that the eldest girl came back to see these people, would they be unhappy?"
Tian Qing stared ahead with his hands behind his back, "No matter whether they are happy or not, if they always bow their heads, people will think that the backbone of our Tian family is crooked."
"That's true."
Two servants were waiting outside Xiong Jiushan's house. Tian Su'e, the eldest daughter of the Tian Family Fort, knelt before Xiong Jiushan, the escort, and pleaded, "Could you please stay in Wulibao for three more days? The Tian family is willing to take care of all the food and clothing for the officials and the exiles during these days! When you set off, the Tian family is willing to provide you with carriages, groceries, and some money and food to cover the delay. I hope you will be considerate!"
Xiong Jiushan, who was sitting upstairs, was stunned.
I've never heard of such a request.
Just now, Taoist Guanghan had just told him that he could not set off within two days.
Later, a young master of the Tian family actually asked him to lead the team to stay for three more days...
One before and the other after, with different purposes, but similar meanings.
They all told him not to move.
This is... an external response?!
Ever since he saw the "miracle" on Xie Yuchuan, Xiong Jiushan couldn't help but start believing in all sorts of nonsense and couldn't control himself.
It is an external response.
Xiong Jiushan looked at Tian Su'e lying on the ground and replied in a daze, "Okay."
Tian Su'e, who had been bowing her head, raised her head with joy in her eyes.
Mr. Xiong is such a reasonable person.
