This Tibetan grain is the place where I established my first base, his grandmother's! I didn't expect to find the site so smoothly. ”

Liu Fen saw his tone and demeanor at this moment, all of them were vulgar and unliterate, thinking that this was his true face, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and said coldly: "Mr. Zhang, since you have found the ideal address, can you go back now?" ”

Zhang Xiaotian deliberately looked at her in a daze, and said, "The contemptible people still have to carefully investigate the water source, soil and other matters here, grandma, what is the lady doing in such a hurry to go back?" ”

Liu Fen was even more displeased when she heard him speak rudely and rudely at this time, and said slightly angrily: "I still have a date, where can I have time to accompany my husband more?" ”

I secretly blamed myself for being a ghost, and after returning home last night, I couldn't stop thinking about this person, and I couldn't sleep at night, so I came to him tomorrow.

But it's also good, although this person's appearance has the shadow of Xiao Tian, but in comparison, it is thousands of miles away, and he can die.

Since beating Zhang Xiaotian, she no longer wants any emotional entanglement.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian didn't do anything, and he simply cut off any thoughts Liu Fen had about him, and then said with a strange smile: "I don't know who made Madame rush back in such a hurry?" ”

At this time, Liu Fen couldn't hold back anymore and said angrily: "This is my business, and I don't have half a piece of yarn with my husband." Then he whipped his horse's head, turned around and galloped off the same road.

Frightened, Chen Lan hurriedly divided half of the people to escort her back to the city.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian felt a painful feeling in his heart, as long as he could hurt her, he would feel happy.

Although she still has feelings for herself, if she succeeded in framing herself last time, his bones will be cold, so there is no love between the two.

After pretending to be surveyed, they returned to the hotel at sunset.

And Liu Mang's people were already waiting for him and invited him to the Hou Mansion for a banquet. After Zhang Xiaotian bathed and changed clothes, he went to the Hou Mansion for a banquet alone.

Liu Mang saw him coming, his face was overjoyed, and while it was still early, he brought him into the inner Xuan secret discussion, and before he got into the main topic, he said with a smile: "I heard that you made Liu Fen half angry, what's wrong?" Not interested in this woman? Now she's easier to manipulate than ever. ”

Zhang Xiaotian scolded Liu Mang for being shameless in his heart at this time, and hated Liu Mang for practicing himself, so he responded: "I'm afraid that she is someone's spy, how dare I provoke her." ”

Liu Mang obviously appreciated his cautious attitude very much, and then patted him on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Whether she is a spy or not, who knows better than me, if you are interested in her, I will arrange it for you." ”

Zhang Xiaotian secretly complained at this time, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "Has Master Hou thought about that matter?" ”

Liu Mang's spirit was greatly lifted when he heard this, where did he still remember Liu Fen's incident, so he said solemnly: "The current Chang'an, which is not my cronies, as long as I can get rid of a few people, I will definitely be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Han monarch." ”

Zhang Xiaotian smiled at this time and said, "The first person to kill is Dong Zhuo!" ”

"With a talent like you to assist me, why worry about the great cause, but this person is surrounded by fierce generals, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed." Liu Mang exclaimed when he heard this.

Zhang Xiaotian said lightly: "If it was easy, Master Hou, you would have done it a long time ago, this matter can be wrapped up in me, as long as I can get his accurate information, I will be able to succeed in one blow."

But now that he is staying at home, the best way is to lure him out, and then I will send someone to set up an ambush and kill him cleanly. ”

"Are you really that sure? Dong Zhuo is just a family general, and there are thousands of soldiers, which is quite difficult to deal with. Liu Mang said suspiciously.

Zhang Xiaotian said: "No one is more proficient in assassination than me, Master Hou, you can relax." ”

Liu Mang would not believe that he was talking in vain, and said in a deep voice: "This matter must be cautious, you had better lay the foundation first, and wait until you are full-fledged before you can succeed smoothly." ”

Zhang Xiaotian was amused when he heard this, he said this to let Liu Mang understand that this matter should not be rushed, and at this time, the goal has been achieved.

Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to force him, and then nodded respectfully and said: "The contemptible people all listen to the orders of the Hou Ye, and this is also the instruction of Yuan Gong." ”

Liu Mang saw him so obedient,

So he was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo has a good impression of you now, but you have to remember your own affairs to be carried out quickly." Ha! Your move is right on their part, and there is no one who needs your salvation more than these people. ”

"I've already chosen a drip site, and I'll start working on it tomorrow." Zhang Xiaotian said.

At this time, Liu Mang stood up and said, "Come on!" The guests should also come, in addition to inviting a few of the most powerful people in Chang'an tonight, there are also envoys from the surrounding ethnic groups, take this opportunity to meet them! ”

Zhang Xiaotian was deep at this time, and now he had become Liu Mang's favorite confidant, so he was particularly favored by him, and stood up and walked with him to the main mansion of the Hou Mansion.

At this time, the two walked side by side in the corridor, and the servants they met knelt on the ground to salute.

When passing through the large garden located in the middle of the Hou Mansion, a group of hundreds of singing and dancing girls were practicing dance, and for a while the clothes were fragrant and the sideburns were shadows, and the soft voice was soft, which made people dazzled.

Zhang Xiaotian's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he found that the instructor who guided them in singing and dancing was actually Mi Xunlan, and he couldn't help but look at it a few times.

The training did not end because of Liu Mang's experience, Mi Xunlan clearly saw Liu Mang at this time, but she pretended to turn a blind eye, and kept issuing orders, ordering all the beautiful women to dance, and the colorful clothes made people dazzled under the light.

Liu Mang leaned into Zhang Xiaotian's ear at this moment and said, "Have you taken a fancy to her?" This girl's name is Mi Xunlan, her father is the most learned Confucian in Chang'an, and her master is a master of swordsmanship, and I can't do anything about her. ”

Zhang Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and continued to move forward.

Walking through the garden, the two stepped on the corridor leading directly to the main house in front of the mansion, and it seemed that it was suddenly quiet in comparison, and a maid came to meet her, and when she saw Liu Mang, she hurriedly avoided it and knelt down.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly felt alarmed, and naturally held his right hand on the handle of Chunjun's sword.

He was very strange in his heart, and involuntarily looked at the maid, only to see her hands shrunk in her wide sleeves at this time, her head lowered, and her kneeling posture was very special.

It gives people a strange feeling, as if she can jump up from the ground and make all kinds of moves at any time.

This is purely an intuition, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaotian's meditation and practice every night according to Zhang's Tai Chi method on the way to Chang'an, I am afraid that my feelings would not have become so sharp.

However, Liu Mang was unaware at the moment and continued to walk forward.

Zhang Xiaotian was very conflicted at this time, if this woman came to assassinate Liu Mang, then she was his fellow practitioner, and he wanted to keep Liu Mang now.

Because not only did they want to capture him alive and return to Yanzhou, but they also wanted him to carry out a plan to kill Li Dao and fight the conspiracy of the surrounding tribes to send envoys to Chang'an, but if this woman fell into the hands of Liu Mang, he was uneasy.

But at this moment, he was not allowed to think too much, the two of them had come to a close distance of ten steps from the maid, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly moved from the outside to between Zhao Liu Mang and the maid, hoping to make her retreat.

Liu Mang was alert at this time and looked at Zhang Xiaotian.

said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, only to see the servant girl raise her head suddenly, revealing a pretty and strong face, and her beautiful eyes exuded fiery hatred, and at the same time, her hands stretched out from her sleeves, and her luck was outward, and two white lights burst towards Liu Mang like lightning.

Liu Mang was caught off guard, frightened, and before he had time to call out and dodge, Zhang Xiaotian's pure jun came out of the sheath, slashed up and down like lightning, and accurately knocked two daggers away.

The female assassin apparently didn't have a third dagger, and with a sharp screech, she rolled out of the porch in front of the two of them.

Zhang Xiaotian chased after him, and suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of him, which turned out to be a soft whip from the hand of a female assassin.

He took this opportunity to retreat to Liu Mang, as if to protect him, but in fact, he was blocking the way of Liu Mang, who had drawn his sword out of the sheath.

The female assassin knew that her chance had been lost, and she rolled into a pile of grass and disappeared into the night.

Liu Mang almost hit Zhang Xiaotian's body at this time, and hurriedly raised his hand to press his shoulder to stop the momentum.

Zhang Xiaotian looked at the two daggers that fell to the ground, the blades revealed blue under the reflection of the light, obviously quenched with poison.

"I'm glad to have you this time, otherwise my life would not have been saved, hum! Those people were all rice buckets, and they didn't know anything about the Assassins infiltrating them. Liu Mang said with palpitations at this time.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaotian was relieved, which not only won Liu Mang's trust, but also allowed the female assassin to escape safely.

It wasn't the first time he had encountered such a skilled female assassin.

When he left the Hou Mansion in Liu Mang's carriage that day, the female assassin mistook him for Liu Mang and threw a poisonous snake into the carriage to assassinate him.

It's just that I don't know what deep hatred she has with Liu Mang, a traitor, and she must be willing to put him to death, and she didn't succeed because of herself twice.

However, Liu Mang's bad deeds have been done, and it is inevitable that the enemies will be everywhere.

The banquet was held in the vast hall of the Hou Mansion, with more than 20 seats and a "double-seat system", which filled the entire hall all the time.

Zhang Xiaotian already had a considerable understanding of the etiquette of banquets in this era at this time. I was taken aback when I saw this, and I never dreamed that tonight's banquet would be so grand and so crowded.

When the monarch entertains the guests of honor, the 'single-seat system' of one person and one seat must be adopted when the number of people is small, and if it is a large banquet of more than 100 people, the 'multi-seat system' of four or more people per table is adopted.

As for the banquets of ordinary ministers, ministers and magnates, most of them adopt the 'double seat system'.

When the two of them came to the hall, there was still a period of time before they left the table, and only Liu Mang's henchman Li Ji and Li Su, who had a bad stomach, came. The two have a close relationship with Liu Mang, and they came early to help greet guests.

Liu Mang disappeared after two sentences, naturally to blame his subordinates for not defending the Hou Mansion effectively, it seems that someone will suffer.

Li Dao and Li Su greeted them cordially, chatted with Zhang Xiaotian, and asked about the site selection, Zhang Xiaotian was still interested in talking nonsense with them, so he sued him and walked out of the garden from the side door.

At this moment, the sound of broken footsteps sounded behind him.

Zhang Xiaotian turned around sharply in surprise at this moment, and just happened to meet a charming beauty.
