Chapter 172: Green Gang Lu San, bring a word to the Junior Guardian!

~8 min read 1,511 words

Jiakang City!

On the main city road.

The bustling crowd was blocked on the road.

The people who were chatting and laughing just now.

As the maid unfolded the document, the crowd became quiet.

A letter from Mount Zhongnan!

Stamped with the two characters "Shenzhou".

"Liqian is indeed invited by the Yan Prince to visit Mount Zhongnan!"

Their final destination for this trip was to go to Mount Zhongnan to see the Yan Prince Lu Chen.

Her words had just finished, not loud but resonant!

Just after this moment of silence, several figures walked out of the crowd.

The crowd didn't have the noise and chatting and laughing just now.

The maid couldn't help but feel a bit of doubt; these commoners who dared to block the Prefect's carriage on weekdays and ignored the majesty of the five city gate schools, why were they so silent at this moment?

Why did it suddenly become quiet!

Suddenly!

An unprecedented liveliness erupted in the crowd.

"Did you hear that? It's a guest from Mount Zhongnan!"

"It's the Yan Prince's guest!"

"The Junior Guardian's distinguished guest."

For so many years, there were still many people in the North who called him Junior Guardian.

Even Old Li Tou, who was sitting leisurely at the corner of the street smoking a pipe, couldn't help but drop his pipe.

He hurriedly wiped his hands on his lapel, his eyes shining with unprecedented light, and said to Yuwen Liqian's direction, his voice full of tension:

"Girl, are you going to Mount Zhongnan? To see the Yan Prince?"

Once these words came out!

Everyone looked intently at the few people in front of the carriage.

A woman with noble bearing, and a beautiful maid in green.

The maid frowned slightly, her displeasure on her face, and she corrected righteously:

"What girl, this is the Princess of the Han Kingdom!"

Yuwen Liqian nodded: "We came from the Han Kingdom, with the Yan Prince's letter as proof!"

"Prefect Su can naturally testify too!"

Su Beihai's face was embarrassed; after all, this was originally a secret order from the Yan Prince's Mansion, and now that it was exposed, it made him look a bit incompetent.

Su Beihai took out a letter from his sleeve, but didn't unfold it; there were traces of the Yan Prince's Mansion's lacquer seal on it.

Seeing this, there was no more dispute!

The crowd suddenly became truly lively.

A heroic middle-aged man walked out!

He was tall, wearing a porter's hemp clothes, his chest slightly open revealing a lifelike tiger head tattoo, his features were upright, with a hooked nose, his appearance was firm, and there was an unangered majesty between his eyebrows.

Anyone would say he was a good man.

"I am Lu San; I didn't know you were the Yan Prince's distinguished guest just now, and I have offended you."

This person walked out, with a fist-clenched and arm-crossed posture, and a group of people behind him followed suit and bowed.

They were all Green Gang people!

Yuwen Liqian also praised him; Lu San's bearing was extraordinary, not like a folk person.

Su Changhai had helplessness on his face and explained:

"This Lu San is the leader of the Green Gang, a figure who can gather four thousand good men in this Jiakang City and is well-versed in both black and white paths; he is known as the Flood Dragon in the River, and no one in the city doesn't know him."

Lu San hadn't given him less trouble in these years!

Yuwen Liqian nodded; being able to set up a ring against a city Prefect in the city.

His influence was not small.

The maid on the side, although she had put away the document, still had a trace of lingering anger on her face; she looked at Lu San and muttered:

"So he was the one making trouble behind the scenes? This name is quite special."

Su Beihai heard this and looked at Lu San: "Lu San's original name is not this; he changed it himself later. It is said that he respects the Yan Prince and the Young Commander extremely, and the Yan Prince happens to have the surname Lu, so he calls himself Lu San."

Lu Chen is the eldest, Lu Yu is the second, and he is the third!

"In the Green Gang, they even worship the Junior Guardian's portrait."

Once these words came out.

Yuwen Liqian was a bit surprised; she had long heard that commoners in the North often hung the Junior Guardian's portrait in their halls.

She didn't expect these Jianghu gangs to be the same.

The news spread rapidly to every corner; upon learning that they were guests from Mount Zhongnan, the enthusiasm in the crowd was instantly ignited, spreading from ten to a hundred, and in a blink of an eye, the entire street and even the roofs on both sides were crowded with commoners looking forward to it.

Both sides of the road were full of people.

On the carriage, the maid stood on the edge of the driver's board, and as far as her eyes could see, it was a dense crowd; she couldn't help but turn back and say anxiously to Yuwen Liqian:

"Princess, the situation is not good, there are more and more people in front."

Yuwen Liqian also frowned slightly.

Su Beihai didn't have any worry on his face, looking confident, and he comforted:

"Princess, don't worry, they know you are a distinguished guest of Mount Zhongnan, and this trip will definitely be smooth."

"No one in the North dares to block the carriage going to Mount Zhongnan!"

The maid didn't believe it!

Her face was full of doubt; after all, among the people, the authority of local minor officials is often more direct and powerful than the distant Emperor.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current manager!

In the local areas of the Han Kingdom, the name of the Emperor is not as good as a minor official.

Not to mention a Yan Prince who is far away on Mount Zhongnan and doesn't often ask about government affairs?

Just then, shouts came from the crowd, and someone shouted loudly:

"Princess, can you please help us bring a word to the Yan Prince?"

This shout seemed to open the floodgates, and those around followed suit.

"Yes, Princess, please help us bring a word to the Yan Prince!"

Yuwen Liqian looked up at this boiling crowd.

The crowd had already begun to consciously separate slowly.

Lu San's figure appeared on the side and smiled:

"Princess, please tell the Junior Guardian!"

"Our Green Gang, and the commoners of this full city, are all praying for him."

Looking at the impassable crowd in front beginning to slowly divide on both sides.

Old Li Tou had already taken out the silver he had just obtained from his chest and placed it on the carriage:

"Old man has offended you just now!"

"It is old man who is sorry to the Junior Guardian!"

Old Li Tou raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Su Beihai said on the side: "That's enough, that's enough, hurry up, hurry up!"

The people beside him also persuaded!

Old Li Tou laughed and said: "It won't kill anyone, Old Li Tou also asks the Princess to bring a word to the Junior Guardian!"

Yuwen Liqian looked at the crowd; it seemed that since she said Mount Zhongnan.

The admiration for this Yan Prince in the crowd flowed from the heart.

Old Li Tou laughed and said: "Trouble to tell the Junior Guardian, just say thanks to the Junior Guardian's blessing."

"Old Li's son gave birth to a baby this year, and I am a grandfather."

The maid's face was a bit strange!

An official on the side explained:

"This Old Li Tou is an old soldier of the Mountain Camp of the Lu Family Army before, a refugee in the North, who participated in the Battle of the Yellow River with the Yan Prince, and was finally settled in Jiakang City by the Yan Prince's Mansion."

Yuwen Liqian understood.

When saying this "I am a grandfather!", she looked at the smile on the old man's face and was momentarily confused.

How many years has Lu Chen been practicing Dao?

Almost twenty-six years, how could he be so popular with the people.

Looking at the gathering crowd, the porters on the dock seemed to hear that it was a distinguished guest from Mount Zhongnan.

They hurried over!

The road in front was automatically swept open, and one sedan chair after another was lowered to make way for the road!

With the gathering of the crowd, the road in front naturally opened up a wide path for them.

Merchants were also attracted by this sudden grand occasion; they couldn't care about their shops, and gathered one after another.

The peddlers couldn't care about their stalls, and came one after another.
