Zhou Zheng gradually rewinds the timeline to three years ago, when he first met Zhang Xing.

In the family assessment, at that time, the Zhou family was the main clan in Yunzhou City, and the Chen, Huang, Zhang, and Lin families were the clans, responsible for assisting the Zhou family in managing Yunzhou City.

And because of the backward strength of the Zhou family at that time, the Chen and Huang families gradually rose and began to show signs of replacing the Zhou family.

So in other words, the relationship between the Zhou family and the other four clans is not very good, and even the relationship with the Chen and Huang families can be said to be hostile.

Zhou Zheng vaguely remembered that when he went to the stage in Yunzhou City, he looked around, and immediately swept to the four people standing in front of the contestants.

Chen Gongming, Huang Hao, Lin Xinyue, and Zhang Xing.

This was the first time that Zhou Zheng had met with the heirs of the other four clans since he was so old, and Zhou Zheng had almost forgotten the specific situation of the day. He only vaguely remembered that when he swept over the four people, his gaze stayed on Zhang Xing's body.

Zhang Xing inexplicably gave Zhou Zheng a good impression, so that he unconsciously stepped forward and stretched out his hand to greet Zhang Zheng well.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Zheng. He smiled and held out his hand.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing smiled and shook the hand in front of him. "What about you?"

"My name is Lin Huan, and I'm glad to be on a mission with you today. According to Shangguan Yun, the owner of this name was originally one of the team members involved in today's mission, but it was secretly replaced by Zhou Zheng by Shangguan Yun.

At the moment, this teenager is Zhang Xing.

Zhou Zheng tried to recall in his mind what Zhang Xing looked like, but he couldn't remember anything.

saw Zhang Xingbai Zhe, with a touch of handsomeness in his facial features. The whole body exudes the air of a teenager, and the hair-colored strands float with the evening breeze.

Although Zhou Zheng can't remember what Zhang Xing looked like back then, he is very sure that Zhang Xing is very handsome now, and there must be no shortage of suitors among girls of the same generation.

"Why did you come to the reconnaissance team?" After a long journey, everyone finally sat down to rest in a wood, and began to chat with each other, Zhou Zheng decisively seized the opportunity to try to get closer to Zhang Xing.

"There's no special reason, I just hope to help the Great Yan Dynasty. Although most of the fugitives I have captured have nothing to do with me, it is inevitable that this will happen to me one day, and I don't want my people to be harmed, so I hope that I can capture those prisoners with my own hands. Zhang Xing's fist clenched hard to show his determination.

"Yes, how long have you memorized this wording?"

"Just for a moment. Zhang Xing pinched it with two sticks, and both of them laughed in unison.

"Brother Lin, what about you?"

"I—what am I?"

"Why did you join the Scouting Team?"

Zhou Zheng thought about it for a while and decided to make up a suitable reason instead of saying what he was thinking.

"In order to support my family, I heard that the scout team was paid very well, so I came. ”

"This is true, Brother Lin can be described as a bold person, but the danger of the reconnaissance team, I believe you have already heard of it, right?"

"That's right. Zhou Zheng nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhang Xing's statement. "But money can make ghosts grind, and in the face of absolute profit temptation, I really can't control it. Besides, I still need to support my people. ”

"Oh, Brother Lin can be described as a model for my generation. To tell you the truth, when I first saw Brother Lin, I always felt that you were very much like a friend of mine. ”

"Probably ... Wrong, right?" Zhou Zheng coughed awkwardly, hoping that Zhang Xing didn't recognize him because of this.

"It's kind of like a friend of mine. Zhang Xing smiled brightly. "He was very nice. ”

"Can you tell me about this friend of yours?" Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Yes, my friend used to live in the same city as me, but he was from another family. The first time I met him, I met him in the family assessment that evaluates the strength of his peers, and I felt that the first impression of the other party was very good. Since then, we've been getting together from time to time to find topics to talk to each other and stuff like that. ”

Zhou Zheng swallowed his saliva, and he suddenly noticed that his throat was a little dry.

"And how did you end up separating?"

"Later, this friend of mine was very advantageous, and when I saw him for the first time, I knew that he would definitely become a genius and a leader in the Great Yan Dynasty in the future. And my friend was also very good, and he was directly admitted to the most famous school in our place. ”

"And what about later?" Zhou Zheng suddenly found that his voice was slightly hoarse.

"And then we haven't seen each other for almost a long time, because I'm not as good as each other, so our platforms are completely different. ”

"Have you never met again? I don't even know the news of the other party?" Zhou Zheng still didn't give up, and continued to ask.

"I know, but to be honest I don't believe the rumors. Zhang Xing shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression. "I just trust my own judgment and I think my friend is a good person. ”

"What are the rumors?" Zhou Zheng suddenly hurriedly asked. "What's the rumor about that friend of yours?"

"Rumor has it that my friend has killed many people, including his family. ”

Zhou Zheng instantly felt a bang in his heart, and something was collapsing.

His face was grim and he stared blankly ahead.

"I don't believe the rumors, I think my friend is a very good person, not at all like an outlaw who would kill his own family. ”

"Why do you believe him so much?" Zhou Zheng lowered his head and asked in frustration.

"Because I know you're not that kind of person. Zhang Xing suddenly had a serious expression, and turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng on the side.

"What?" Zhou Zheng thought he had misheard something, and suddenly raised his head to look at Zhang Xing. "What did you just say?"

"I said I didn't believe that Zhou Zheng killed his people, and I said I didn't believe that you were such a person. Zhang Xing slapped Zhou Zheng on the shoulder.

"I... How are you?" Zhou Zheng looked at Zhang Xing in surprise, he didn't expect that he had changed so much now, and he still recognized himself at a glance.

"I forgot to tell you something. Zhang Xing leaned into Zhou Zheng's ear and said with a smile: "The reason why I was selected by the reconnaissance team is precisely because they fancy one of my abilities, that is, memory and observation. ”
