Xuanxia

Chapter 239 Reunion

"Brother, is Yue Heng the scholar you mentioned last time, the one you protected in the dilapidated temple for three days?"

When they walked out of the tea room, Tang Jiao asked curiously and excitedly: "You didn't tell me the story in detail, please tell me about it!"

Fu Qingzhou glared at her and said, "Qingsongzi gave you such a dangerous thing, and you didn't tell me?!"

Tang Jiao shrank her neck because of the glare.

"Big brother..."

She whispered, "Master said you...you are too smart. I can't let you know what I have on me, otherwise you will cause a lot of trouble in this world..."

Fu Qingzhou almost passed out.

"Then how dare you take it out in front of others?"

He sighed, "Do you know that it is a crime to possess a treasure? Even if others can't use this thing, it is still a treasure. What if someone covets it?"

"I was wrong..." Tang Jiao said aggrievedly: "Master said that we should show our confidence when appropriate, otherwise others will always think that we are easy to bully... and I don't have anything else worth 50,000 taels."

Fu Qingzhou curled his lips, but seemed to have nothing to say.

You know what, Situ Chong really treated them as enemies at the beginning... But when the Xuanxing Divine Iron was auctioned, everything changed.

Inducement, deterrence, counterattack, concession, and goodwill.

A little drama that seemed excessive but was actually well-founded turned a "priceless" transaction into a simple matter.

"Jiaojiao, tell me the truth."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes. "When did Qingsongzi accept you as his apprentice? Did you secretly become his disciple before I even left the mountain? How come you've learned so much in just a few days?"

Tang Jiao giggled: "Brother, what are you talking about? I just became your disciple before I came down the mountain. Master didn't teach me much. You taught me all these years."

Fu Qingzhou stared: "Me?"

"correct."

Tang Jiao blinked and said, "In the past two years, we have been copying books and chatting at the same time. Brother, you have said a lot, a lot..."

Fu Qingzhou was speechless.

Looking back, it was indeed true. At that time, the two of them were copying books at the table. Most of the time, he was talking and Tang Jiao was listening. When he got bored while copying, he would talk nonsense.

Seeing a good bowman, he said he wondered how his bowmanship compared to Huang Zhong and Hua Rong. Tang Jiao asked curiously, who is Huang Zhong and who is Hua Rong? He then started to tell stories about the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, and even commented on the actions of the stories...

There are so many things like this, too many to count.

In this way, Tang Jiao probably learned a lot of random things from me without realizing it...

Fu Qingzhou laughed and covered his face.

"So what's going on with this divine iron?"

He brought the topic back to the topic: "Qingsongzi can't have given you this thing just to scare people, right?"

"No." Tang Jiao lowered her voice and said, "Master said that he observed the stars at night and calculated all the things in the world, and finally came to the conclusion that we must have a piece of magic iron with us!"

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, half believing and half doubting.

When did this old Taoist priest start talking nonsense...

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked through the backyard of the pawnshop, pushed open the small door, and returned to the lobby of the pawnshop.

When the door opened, Fu Qingzhou was stunned on the spot with his eyes wide open.

At the same time, Yue Heng, who was beaten black and blue on the floor of the pawnshop, was also sighing and getting up. He turned his head and looked over when he heard the sound.

The two of them stared at each other in shock.

“Brother Yue?!”

"Brother Fu!"

They both spoke at the same time, both of them were very surprised.

Fu Qingzhou hurriedly stepped forward to support Yue Heng, but saw that Brother Yue's face tightened, a look of pain clearly revealed, and he gritted his teeth and took a breath.

"What's wrong? Where are you hurt?"

Fu Qingzhou raised his brows.

Yue Heng smiled bitterly and looked down at his legs.

I saw that the right leg was torn. Although there was no bleeding, there was a large bruise. Judging from the size of the swelling and the degree of bruising, it was probably not just a flesh wound. "Alas, my leg..."

Yue Heng sighed: "Just a few days after recovering, he was injured again..."

"what happened?"

Fu Qingzhou was angry: "Who hurt you like this?"

He turned his head and glanced at the people in the pawn shop.

All the court officials and guests turned their heads away silently.

"Okay, okay, it has nothing to do with them." Yue Heng patted Fu Qingzhou on the shoulder and forced a smile with difficulty: "It has nothing to do with them. The person who beat me has left... But Brother Fu, why are you here?"

Fu Qingzhou did not answer, but turned his head to look at the pawnshop counter.

Situ Chong returned to the lobby a step slower than them, stood behind the counter again, and nodded at him.

"Mr. Situ."

Tang Jiao understood what her elder brother meant and said softly, "Please arrange a carriage and some medicine for us."

"It should be so." Situ Chong nodded in response.

Fu Qingzhou suddenly said, "Bring a few more jugs of good wine."

……

The carriage moved slowly along the street. A delicate little girl named Tang Jiao was driving in front, attracting many glances from passers-by.

"I see. Brother Fu, you are here to do some work... Ouch, it hurts!"

In the carriage, Yue Heng was talking when he suddenly felt so much pain that his face twisted and his body stiffened.

That was Fu Qingzhou applying medicine to his injured leg.

"You have a broken leg."

He frowned and said, "He was fine last time, but he got hurt again this time. If he doesn't get proper treatment, he will have hidden dangers for the rest of his life."

Yue Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, I just blame myself for not understanding human nature. I don't even know when I offended that Master Lan..."

"If there's no one around you who can protect you, you'd better drink less."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head helplessly: "If I hadn't come, you would have been tortured to death."

Yue Heng was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Brother Fu, you...you want to stand up for me? Oh, that's not right, how do you know that I was drunk at that time..."

Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly.

"Don't worry about these."

He applied the medicine and whispered, "Since I'm here, I will definitely help you settle this matter - tell me first, what result do you want?"

"What's the result?" Yue Heng was stunned.

He didn't ask how Fu Qingzhou knew all this, why the pawnshop was willing to arrange carriages and medicine for them, or why Fu Qingzhou wanted to help him...

This scholar is as generous as ever.

He scratched his head and said, "What else can happen? That Master Lan is from a noble family. If I really offend him, I should just leave Hengfeng City immediately. It's a pity that I don't have any money right now. I might have to pawn the token of love that Chuchu gave me..."

Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes.

Hey man! That's a token of love someone gave you! You want to pawn it?!

"That won't work."

He chuckled: "Others beat up my brother, how can I just let it go?"

Yue Heng was shocked: "Don't, Brother Fu! It's not worth it to offend the disciples of the aristocratic family for me! You don't know that the Xishan Lan family is one of the four major families in Dayan. There are many of their people in the court, even..."

"Stop." Fu Qingzhou interrupted him: "Even if it's not for myself... I promised others that I would help you."

"other people?"

Yue Heng was confused again: "Who is it?"

"Don't worry about it. It's endless." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "That person asked me to reconcile the relationship between that Master Lan and you, but he didn't say...how to reconcile it."
