Chapter 22 Preparation for the Southward Journey VIII

When he went upstairs, Zhang Zhimu deliberately pretended to be stupid, pretending not to see anything, and said, "Let's go to the word room."

"Okay!" The man agreed, led the three of them to the room, knocked on the door, and retreated.

Chen Yufeng was in front of Zhang Zhimu, and Yang Yulin was behind Zhang Zhimu, Zhang Zhimu had to admire the experience of the two. At this time, the door opened, and it was Li Kui who opened the door. Liu Kui let the three of them into the house, and it was Chen Yufeng who went first, and there were three people standing at the table in the room. Chen Yufeng bowed his hand to a man in his forties in the middle, dressed in white clothes and white pants, and said, "Yan is in charge, don't come to harm?" ”

"Yo, good. Brother Chen is okay? ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Chen Yufeng turned around and introduced Zhang Zhimu and said, "This is our home." ”

Zhang Zhimu took a step forward, arched his hand, and said, "I have heard the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet it." ”

At this time, Yang Yulin, who was behind Zhang Zhimu, shouted: "Second uncle" tears are about to fall. Yan Xing was stunned for a moment, rushed over in one step, grabbed Yang Yulin's hand and said, "Lin'er, is it really you?" , is my sister-in-law okay? Jing'er is okay? ”

"It's all right." After Yang Yulin finished speaking, she cried "wow". The room was full of people, and they were all moved.

Yang Yulin stopped crying. Yan Xing arched his hand to Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng again and said, "Oh, it's rude." ”

"The head is polite," Zhang Zhimu said politely. The most embarrassing is Li Kui next to him.

Yan Xing asked the other two people in the house to go out first, leaving only Li Kui. Everyone is seated.

Let the guy re-serve the good tea, let the guy out, Li Kui closed the door. The big boss personally poured a cup of tea for each person, stood up and picked up the teacup and said: "This cup of tea, I first thank the two of you for helping my sister-in-law's family in times of crisis; The second is to ask the two for my brother, who is not angry. ”

Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng hurriedly picked up the teacups and stood up. Zhang Zhimu said: "The head of the house is polite, our family doesn't talk about two families." Aunt Cai's family and Uncle Chen's friendship is not a day, and taking back the aunt's family is a matter that should be due, and there is no way to help. As for what happened the other day, it was a complete misunderstanding. How about we drink this cup of tea and never talk about it again? ”

"Okay, happy!" Yan Xing drank the tea with everyone and sat down.

Yang Yulin sensibly poured tea for everyone.

Yan Xing said: "Last time Li Kui took someone back and told me about it, I was happy and ashamed. I was happy to know the news of my sister-in-law's family; It's a shame that my brother, who is not angry, didn't go to be grateful, and even went to the benefactor's house to make a big fuss. My heart has always been like a big stone pressed against me. This time, we not only lost the battle, but also lost morality. If it weren't for the life-saving grace of my brother, I would have ...... long ago."

Chen Yufeng immediately took over and said: "Haha, Li Kui didn't know that Mrs. Cai was in the kiln gang at all, it was a misunderstanding, and after Brother Li Kui knew about it, he regretted that he wanted to get into a crack in the ground." Don't talk about it anymore. If you mention this matter again, we and Li Kui's brother will not be able to do it in the future. ”

After hearing this, everyone laughed.

When the atmosphere improves, everyone is no longer restrained. Yan Xing said, don't call you two big bosses, how awkward. According to my age, I am with Li Kui, and I follow my sister-in-law to call Brother Chen, Brother Chen, Brother Chen teaches me to call my second brother, and I am the second oldest at home. Zhimu will suffer a little loss, follow Yulin to call me second uncle, and let Li Kui follow to get some cheapness, you can call him Uncle Kui.

When Zhang Zhimu heard this, he stood up and said, "Don't suffer a loss, don't suffer a loss." He picked up the teacup again and said, "Second Uncle testifies, I officially apologize to Uncle Kui today." 'Uncle Kui' that day, the little nephew humiliated Uncle Kui a little too much, and he was offended, Uncle Kui must not hate the little nephew, the little nephew apologized to you. ”

Li Kui's face was flushed with shame, and he said, "Where is it, it was mine that day." You see that you don't want to mention it, and don't mention it again. ”

Everyone laughed again.

Yan Xing said that he knew that after the accident in the Huwei Dart Bureau, he sent people to look for the Cai family everywhere, but there was no news, and he was very worried about the fact that no one was alive or dead. Later, I inquired a little about the reason for the accident in the Huwei Dart Game.

The Huwei Dart Bureau pressed the dart this time to be the goods of the Jinyang Liu family, and this goods has some origins. This dart is ostensibly pressed for the Liu family, but it is actually the goods of Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king. The robber is the person who broke into the king Li Zicheng.

Zhang Zhimumu felt a throbbing in his heart when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would be involved with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng so soon.

It is said that in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, last year, after Zhang Xianzhong defeated Xiangyang, he killed Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, and got a heavy treasure in the palace. It is said that this treasure is to bless the Zhu family to rule the world forever. Originally, it was going to be sent to Beijing, but before it was time, it was obtained by Zhang Xianzhong. Because Zhang Xianzhong has been adopting the tactics of "avoiding the real and making trouble" and "going to the enemy" after the second uprising, there is no fixed base area, so he sent his own personal guards to protect this treasure, but when he fought against the Ming army, the guards were scattered by the Ming army. After the news was revealed, whether it was Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, or the Jinyi guards of the East Factory and the West Factory, they all scattered people to find this baby, and after several encounters, there were only a few people left in the pro-soldiers who protected the treasure, and there was no way, so they all changed into civilian clothes, and even the threat was luring, mixed in the caravan of the Liu family. After passing Tongguan and arriving at the edge of the Yellow River, he didn't dare to go, and the Liujia caravan flew a pigeon to pass the book and reported the matter to his family. The family was forced to do nothing, if the government knew about it, it would be the crime of destroying the nine clans, but if Zhang Xianzhong was offended, the family would not be able to die well. There was no way, so I asked the Huwei Dart Bureau to escort with a lot of money. Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng got the news, and this is why the robbery happened.

Chen Yufeng said: "No wonder, Liu Yun said, the elephant soldiers who robbed the darts are well-trained, shoot arrows accurately, do not shout or shout during the attack, and the time, place, and timing are very sophisticated. ”

"That's why, the Liu family didn't come to collect the yard, and they didn't want to make a public announcement." Zhang Zhimu said.

Speaking of this, everyone is very heavy. Yan Xing deliberately changed the topic and said: "Brother Chen, I just heard that the 'Mountain Leopard' and the Qingfeng Sword were superb, and I always thought it was just a rumor in the rivers and lakes, but this time it really opened the eyes of Niutou Mountain." I heard that it was just a face, and my three masters made you wipe your neck, and with just one move, Li Kui's knife was knocked away. ”

"Second uncle, what kind of masters are you in Niutou Mountain? It's okay to bully some past traders! Yang Yulin said politely.

"It's really not, they are all practitioners, and they are battle-hardened, and they have never suffered a loss every time they fight against the official army. This time it was a somewhat special deal, which was brought out by Li Kui and Li Yue, the hall master of Qingzi Hall, with more than 20 masters who were personally selected. I heard that Li Yue, the master of Qingzi Hall, was also a face, and he was stabbed in the heart. Yan Xing said.

"As soon as he took a look, he met Liu Yun, the dragon of the river, can he be okay?" Chen Yufeng said.

"'Izujiang Dragon' is also with you? I said so. Yan Xing said.

"Not only is 'Out of the River Dragon' there, but also 'Divine Dart' Li Wei and 'Divine Ape' Li Jing are also there." Yang Yulin said.

"Haha, then Li Kui won't be wronged if he loses. If you can live a few, it's because people are merciful. These people, before they have seen the masters, feel that they are invincible in the world, so it is good to let the people on Niutou Mountain know that there are people in the world. It's a pity that there are more than a dozen masters in the Huwei Dart Bureau. Yan Xing said with a laugh.

Yan Xing asked with a serious expression, "Zhimu, I heard that you will thunder the sky, is it true?" ”

Zhang Zhimu didn't speak, and took out two black ** from his waist. Li Kui's face changed a little, and Yan Xing was also a little nervous, it is estimated that when Li Kui and the others told him, they must have depicted it very terrifyingly.

Zhang Zhimu said: "It's okay, it's okay if you don't light the fire." This is what you call thunder, we call it **. As he spoke, he handed over the **.

Yan Xing followed with both hands and took the ** over. looked at it carefully and said, "Just this iron lump can hurt people?" ”

"Can you hurt people, can you ask Uncle Kui?" Zhang Zhimu said.

"Yes, it can hurt people, it's too powerful, when you encounter this thing, it's useless to do any martial arts." Uncle Kui said with palpitations.

"This thing just light the twist and throw it out, but at least throw it five zhang away, otherwise it is easy to hurt yourself." Zhang Zhimu said.

"Gee, you didn't throw that far that day?" Uncle Kui said.

"Isn't there an Uncle Kui in the middle?" After Zhang Zhimu finished speaking, the people at the table squirted out with laughter.

Everyone talked about the big things in the world and the small things of relatives and friends all afternoon. Zhang Zhimu and Yan Xing both admired each other's knowledge, and they had a feeling of hating each other.

Seeing that it was not early, Yan Xing said, "It is inconvenient for me to spend the night in the city, so I can't stay any longer." Saying that, he asked someone to bring over a package containing two ingots of gold, stuffed it into Yang Yulin's hand and said: "It's inconvenient for me to go to see my sister-in-law, excuse me for my guilt, I'm not around at a critical time, let my sister-in-law don't blame me." ”

Zhang Zhimu also took out two gold bars of twenty taels and said, "Second uncle, help, give me a subsidy for the family of the brother who died and was injured that day." "Neither side was polite.

Yan Xing picked up two ** and asked, "Zhimu, can the second uncle take these two things away?" ”

"Of course you can, I'll bring a few more to the second uncle later. But there is one condition....." Zhang Zhimu didn't finish. Yan Xing took over and said, "You can't use it to intercept business travelers, and you can't use it to attack people's houses. ”

"Yes, now we are the only ones who have this thing, as soon as you use it, others will know that it was from us, so don't use it easily." Zhang Zhimu said.

At this time, someone sent in a small bag, Yan Xing handed the small bag to Zhang Zhimu and said: "This is the bronze medal of Niutou Mountain, you can use it to enter and exit Niutou Mountain at will." When people from all walks of life in the green forest see it, they will give it face, especially in the south and north of Jin. If there is an urgent matter, come here, fly the pigeon to pass the book to Niutou Mountain, and the people of Niutou Mountain will arrive in two days. I won't go out when I go downstairs. See you at Niutou Mountain. ”

Zhang Zhimu and the three of them went downstairs, took down a wooden box from the ox cart, which contained ten **, and asked the guy to carry the box upstairs. Chen Yufeng admired Zhang Zhimu even more, it seems that Zhang Zhimu has already reached this point.

Zhang Zhimu, they met the people of Niutou Mountain in Xiurong, and their families were not idle.
