That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 286 So Upright, Leader Chen

  The white-bearded old man is in front, and Gu Qingci is in the back.

The bamboo raft is moving fast on the river, like an arrow off the string, but the two people riding on the bamboo raft are extraordinary, and they are not unaccustomed. Finally, there is some smoky atmosphere, the streets extend in all directions, and there are many restaurants and shops everywhere, which is no different from the streets outside.

   Faintly, Gu Qingci had an illusion that Longyeon was like a city. He visited the countryside before, but now he came to the city.

  The old man seems to be quite famous in Tianxiameng, many people are greeting him, passing through a street, the old man said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, does it feel a little strange?"

  Gu Qingci shook his head and said, "I can't say it's strange, but I just feel a little surprised."

The old man explained: "Longyuan is the place where the Tianxiameng is located, but the Tianxiameng is different from the sects that have been passed down for many years. There is no so-called unknowable place, and there is no such background, so it is naturally different here, and , Tianxiameng is a faction, it is better to say it is an alliance, all kinds of people and forces gather together, here, many people still maintain their previous habits, so, naturally there are commercial activities, and after a long time, they appear This is a city within a village."

Gu Qingci nodded. He basically understood what the old man said. Although the Tianxiameng is a force, it is actually not the same as a traditional force. It is just united. Chen Tongxuan is the leader elected by many forces and warriors. The head is different, and there are even many martial arts forces that also belong to the Tianxia League, but they are not in Longyuan.

However, many forces are fused together, but they can still get along so harmoniously, and only Chen Tongxuan can do it. In addition to the reason of force, but also because of Chen Tongxuan's courage, he can tolerate everything, and he can also be fair and just, so that everyone People are convinced that so many people of three religions and nine streams can fight to the end with the Dong family for the Tianxiameng.

This is why Tianxiameng still dares to invite Gu Qingci to join Tianxiameng even though it knows that Gu Qingci is a member of the imperial court, because Tianxiameng is not someone's Tianxiameng, but everyone's Tianxiameng in it, as long as you are not People who are rejected by the Tianxia League, if you are willing to join, the Tianxia League can accept them.

  This is not a sect, but a group of everyone reporting together, gathering small streams to become a big river, a big river that can face the world.

   No wonder, there are rumors in Jianghu that the Tianxia League is just a group of poor people reporting to the group to keep warm.

The only thing that makes Gu Qingci feel a little inappropriate is that the Tianxia League can have such power and cohesion only because there is one Chen Tongxuan, but there is only one Chen Tongxuan in the whole world. If there is no Chen Tongxuan, it means that the Tianxia League will exist in name only , and then disappeared into the rivers and lakes, or Chen Tongxuan could find a young man like him.

  Seeing that Gu Qingci frowned, the white-bearded old man asked with some doubts: "What doubts do Mr. Gu have?"

   Gu Qingci chuckled and said: "It's nothing, I just remembered something, by the way, I haven't asked the senior how to call it?"

  The white-bearded old man said softly: "The name, no one has mentioned it for many years, Mr. Gu, please call me Lao Lu!"

"Old Lu," Gu Qingci smiled bluntly. He couldn't really call the other party Lao Lu. After all, where is the age? But suddenly, Gu Qingci remembered something and asked: "I have heard that thirty Years ago, Alliance Leader Chen had a master named Lu who slaughtered a whole family in one night, including three great practitioners, known as Lu Shenjun!"

The white-bearded old man smiled slightly, waved his hands, and said: "It's all a long time ago. At the beginning, I was angry for revenge, and finally I was rescued by the lord. In today's Jianghu, there is no Lu Shenjun." , there is only one old Lu!"

  Gu Qingci was a little surprised, looked at Lu Shenjun, and was a little surprised, it really is that people can't be judged by appearances, and sea water can't be measured, who would have thought that such a harmless old man would be the Lu Shenjun who was crying when a big boy?

The main entrance of the lord's mansion is thick and wide, and the long street is swept clean. There are a few warriors guarding the door. After seeing Lu Shenjun, they all bowed their hands and saluted, and Lu Shenjun responded with a smile as usual, and directly led Gu Qing into the lord's mansion. .

  …

It was the first time for Gu Qingci to see Chen Tongxuan. At the first glance, there was only one feeling, that is domineering, a feeling of being oppressed, but that feeling disappeared with Chen Tongxuan's loud laugh. Then it felt very kind.

Except for some gauntlets on his arms, Chen Tongxuan's attire was very ordinary, but he looked majestic and didn't have too much airs. He actually greeted Gu Qingci first, and said, "Mr. Gu, I sent Lao Lu to test you. This thing is because I have a bit of a villainous heart, don't take it to heart, there is no way to do it, the current form of the Tianxiameng is not optimistic."

  Gu Qingci was quite flattered, cupped his hands, and said: "Leader Chen, don't need to be like this, don't say that you have to consider the entire Tianxiameng, even if I, Gu Qingci, are alone, if someone comes to my house suddenly, I will also pay attention."

"Okay," Chen Tongxuan nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, I'm not being polite anymore. I asked Lao Lu to come to you for two reasons. The first thing is to ask, why did Gu Qing resign to Longyuan?" The important thing? The second thing is that I want to invite Mr. Gu to join the Tianxiameng. There is no other reason, just because Mr. Gu, you are strong and have a good character. If I can invite you to join the Tianxiameng, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!"

   Gu Qingci looked at Chen Tongxuan with a strange expression on his face. He thought the first question was normal and he could understand it, but the second question made Gu Qingci a little confused. He really wanted to ask, are you serious?

  Gu Qingci felt that Chen Tongxuan's invitation was really sudden, and it was also very abrupt, and it was unexpected and direct, which caught him off guard.

  Seeing Gu Qingci's expression, Lu Shenjun said awkwardly: "Young Master Gu, don't mind, our leader has always been straightforward like this, and he always said what came to mind, which is a bit Meng Lang."

  Gu Qingci smiled and said: "Mr. Chen is so flattered that Qingci is a little flattered. However, let's discuss this second matter later. I want to say something to Mr. Chen today."

  Chen Tongxuan waved his hand and said, "Please speak!"

  Gu Qingci cupped his hands and said: "I heard that President Chen has only one disciple, and that is Brother Su Beisheng. I wonder if President Chen still has the idea of ​​recruiting disciples?"

  Chen Tongxuan asked suspiciously: "It can't be Mr. Gu, you want to be a teacher?"

  Gu Qingci smiled and said: "I have a different way from Leader Chen, so I don't have this blessing. However, what I want to introduce to Leader Chen is a genius whose talent far surpasses mine!"
