C280 Autumn Water Villa

Cat's Ear was willing to give his all. After all, Duan Tianya had shown mercy in the past. He could repay any debt, but this debt of gratitude was hard to repay.

However, this time, the Five Mouse Gang had encountered a troublesome opponent.

After more than half a month, they finally found out that Yaen Shunba and the abbot of Cangloong Temple had gone to Autumn Water Manor.

Autumn Water Manor had been established for a hundred years. Although it was not famous in the Jianghu, it had gained some reputation. Autumn Water Manor's Master, Guo Jinghuai, had always been kind and kind. He had a good relationship with all the heroes in the world, and he had always been close with Yaen Shunba.

Yaen Shunba was the first to choose Autumn Water Manor as his foothold, but it seemed that their relationship was not shallow.

Duan Tianya left for Autumn Water Manor. He only brought three people with him: Xue Kang from Zhuozhou, Hua Lingyan, and Lee Jingyun, and Tianya who had been staying in Tieniu's inn. Tianya also wanted to come, but considering that it was very difficult for him to help, he could only stay in Yuen's Mansion to watch over them.

As soon as Duan Tianya arrived at the Autumn Water Manor, the gate of the manor suddenly opened. A butler walked out from inside and kowtowed, "Who is Duan Tianya?"

Duan Tianya smiled at Xue Kang, who was standing beside him, and said, "It seems like Guo Master has already known that we are coming. "

The few of them entered the manor. Although the decorations were a little old, every blade of grass and tree was trimmed neatly. They must have put in a lot of effort during normal days.

Walking to the main hall, In the middle was a large table filled with delicacies. On the east side of the table sat an old man in his sixties. He had a white beard and a ruddy complexion. His eyes were like an eagle's, and he wore a light yellow silk robe. He looked neat and clean, full of spirit.

When the old man saw Duan Tianya and the others, he immediately stood up and cupped his fists, "Autumn Water Manor's Guo Jinghuai, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. I hope Duan will forgive me. "

Duan Tianya replied with a bow, "I heard that Guo Master is kind and kind, making friends with everyone in the world. I'm afraid today's banquet isn't just for making friends, right?"

Guo Jinghuai wasn't angry or surprised, as if Duan Tianya's attitude was natural. He picked up the wine pot, surrounded the table and filled every wine cup, and said, "Duan is right. I came here today to help my friend. "

"Yaen Shunba!"

Guo Jinghuai nodded and said. "Yes, he is my friend. I must also help him with this"

Duan Tianya asked, "How do you plan to help him?"

Guo Jingwei said, "In terms of martial arts, I am not your opponent. I only hope that you can stay in my Autumn Water Manor for a month. "

Lee Jingyun said first, "What if we don't agree?"

Guo Jinghuai laughed loudly. "I have no choice even if I don't agree. This is not forcing us to stay. It can only be considered a presumptuous request. "

Duan Tianya laughed. This was the first time he had seen such a method to keep someone alive. However, this method was very effective, and it was very difficult to reject it.

Yaen Shunba was indeed a smart man. He had already predicted that Duan Tianya would definitely agree to Guo Jinghuai's request.

The Autumn Water Manor was indeed a little shabby. The red paint on the houses, the red tiles on the roof, and the green bricks on the walls were all damaged by the passage of time. Even the clothes worn by the servants of the manor were a little shabby.

Guo Jinghuai led Duan Tianya around all day long. He couldn't tell that he was the one who stopped Duan Tianya from killing Yaen Shunba.

Although Lee Jingyun was a little anxious, he knew what kind of person Duan Tianya was. Therefore, he could only stay in Autumn Water Manor.

Guo Jinghuai and Duan Tianya arrived at a martial arts field in the Autumn Water Manor. It had been a long time since anyone came here. The bluestone ground had long lost its original appearance, and there was not a single weapon on the weapons rack. The stone locks were left on the side in twos and threes.

Fortunately, Guo Jinghuai was in a very good mood. He ordered the butler to prepare a few dishes, and then took out the good wine that he had kept for many years. He planned to drink a few cups with Duan Tianya on the stone table in the martial arts field.

Guo Jinghuai filled Duan Tianya's glass with wine and himself as well. He said: "Thank you, Duan, for giving me this thin noodles. I'm willing to stay at the village for a month. "

Duan Tianya raised his glass and said, "Autumn Water Manor has food and drinks. Why not? It's just that the manor seems to be a little thrifty. If we come here to ask for trouble, will it increase the burden on the manor?"

Guo Jinghuai, on the other hand, was open-minded and said without any hesitation, "Autumn Water Manor made a lot of friends in the past few years. They didn't have much money left in the manor, but in the end, they couldn't make a few good friends. Now, the manor is full of people in the pugilistic world, so we can save some money for them. It's enough for the people in the manor to make a living. "

Duan Tianya liked his honesty very much. So he took out a few gold ingots from his pocket and said, "Please accept these. They are not charity, but Master as a host. How can we freeload here for nothing?"

Guo Jinghuai hurriedly said, "Absolutely not. . . Absolutely not. . . " He said again, "You have already shown mercy to Autumn Water Manor, it is already a great kindness to this manor, how can you take more gold and silver?"

Duan Tianya said, "Just accept it. Go to town and buy some fitting clothes for the servants in the manor. "

With that said, Guo Jinghuai could not refuse, so he could only leave it to the butler.

The two of them did not drink much, but they were very satisfied.

Duan Tianya drank a cup of wine and asked, "Guo Master already knows that Yaen Shunba has a very low chance of winning, why do you still want to help him?"

Guo Jinghuai smiled and said, "A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. " After saying that, he let out a light sigh and said, "In the past, I was fond of making friends and did not hesitate to spend all my wealth. When I encountered difficulties, I did not see a single person. When I was at my most embarrassing moment, it was Yaen Shunba who helped me. "

He seemed to be recounting something that had happened to someone else, but only he knew the twists and turns of it.

There was nothing wrong with a person's heart being evil and cold. People like Guo Jinghuai had been hurt by the heart, but he would never forget people who had helped him in his life.

Those who had helped you in your most difficult times were your true friends. No matter if he was a bad person, a good person, a government official, or a small merchant, he was worth making friends with.

At least in Guo Jinghuai's heart, Yaen Shunba was his friend. For Yaen Shunba, he could give up his life and take a risk.

Guo Jinghuai had succeeded. Duan Tianya and the others didn't make things difficult for the Autumn Water Manor. Before leaving, Duan Tianya even spent a lot of silver to renovate the Autumn Water Manor, allowing this hundred-year manor to find its former glory.

Xue Kang did not understand why it did not make things difficult for Guo Jinghuai. It was Hua Lingyan who had said the truth.

For someone who was loyal to his friend, he deserved respect.

Lee Jingyun asked, "What are our next plans?"

Duan Tianya smiled faintly. He pointed to the tea shop beside him. The owner of the tea shop walked out and said with a smile, "Guests, please come in. "

The few of them walked into the shop and the owner quickly kowtowed, "Eighteen Gangs's Zhang Gui greets Hero Duan. " It turned out that this was a contact point of Eighteen Gangs. All the information about Yaen Shunba would be sent to each other.
