Zhang Teng took the letter and the recommendation order into his arms, and quickly returned to the palace.

He asked Zi Ning and Huang Ying about Tie Hu's residence, and went straight to Tie Hu's residence to visit.

When he got there, Zhang Teng learned from the maid that Tiehu had drunk a lot of wine last night and had not woken up from his sleep.

Zhang Teng had no choice but to ask the maid to wait for Tiehu to wake up and tell him that he would come to visit when the time came.

Of course, he gave the other party some silver for errands.

Through Zining and Huang Ying, Zhang Teng knew that these maids were not easy to live.

Rugui Yuan will give them some money every month to use, but the amount is limited, and everyone is quite strapped for money, just to meet the ordinary cost of rouge gouache.

However, the people of Tiehu and the Medical Alliance will occasionally reward them, but they are all small money.

Although their status is respected and cultivated, they have never had any money on them, not that they are poor, but that they do not have the habit of bringing a lot of money.

After all, these people, every time they travel, all the expenses are covered by the government and local forces, and there is no place to use them with Qian Yu.

The maids are all lowly cultivators, and they have talking tools that entertain people with their beauty, and they have cheats, pills, and good weapons, but these things are rewarded to the maids, and they are not of much use to the maids.

For example, give them cheats, but most of their time is spent pleasing men, where is the time to practice?

Another example is to give them pills, their own cultivation is low, except for being injured by their own masters, they basically don't fight with others, and the chance of being injured is very low.

Even if they were injured, they were ordinary flesh and skin wounds, and they didn't need the best elixir. They usually sell those pills, but they are not worth a few bucks. After all, the owner of a valuable pill would not reward him casually.

If they were given weapons, such a terrible thing would rarely happen.

The masters of the maids, not everyone is as gentle and pure as Zhang Teng.

These maids are their tools, and sometimes they are in a bad mood, and they may beat and abuse them, which makes them resentful. Don't look at them as submissive and obedient on weekdays, but in fact, they dare to be angry and dare not speak. If you give them weapons, you will sharpen your tools, and in the end, you will only be afraid that you will hurt yourself and lose your own life.

After Zhang Teng gave a sum of silver to Tiehu's eight maids, he left and returned to his room.

Zi Ning and Huang Ying had been waiting there, and the two of them were diligently cleaning his room, and after they were done, they were also wiping the surrounding furniture and utensils with a rag.

When Zhang Teng saw them, he didn't favor one over the other, and gave some of the remaining silver jade on his body to the two of them, and asked them to go outside to rest and play.

Zi Ning and Huang Ying were holding Yinyu, although they didn't want to leave Zhang Teng's room, but in the end, they were girls.

Zhang Teng comforted the two of them a little, and the two went out happily.

After Zi Ning and the two left, Zhang Teng packed up his clothes, then closed the door, and continued to meditate and cultivate, recovering his body as quickly as possible.

In the afternoon, one of Tiehu's maids came over to inform Zhang Teng that Tiehu had woken up.

Zhang Teng was overjoyed when he heard the news, and followed the maid to Tiehu's residence, but before he arrived at the door, he was immediately blocked by the two maids at the door.

He asked with a surprised expression, "Didn't Senior Tie wake up?" and asked the two sisters to be accommodating and help me report to him." ”

The two maids' faces were flushed, and one of them said, "It's not that we don't help, it's just that ...... It's just that Lord Tie is busy, and it's inconvenient to report at this moment. ”

Zhang Teng became more and more strange, and was about to ask again, but he heard a crying woman's voice from inside.

At that moment, Zhang Teng's face was red, he hugged his fists at the two of them, and said goodbye and left as if he was fleeing.

The three maids looked at his departing back, amused and envious.

One covered his mouth and smiled, and said: "It seems that Zhang Gongzi is still an untrained boy. ”

One nodded and said, "Indeed, although I know some, but in the end, the face is tender." ”

The last person sighed faintly, and said sourly: "How good it would be if I was also physically inconvenient in those days, it was not the two girls of Zining Huangying who stayed with him today, but me." Hey, it's still their fate, and they were promised to Zhang Gongzi by Lord Tie. ”

At this moment, a shout came from inside the house: "Today Lao Tzu is not happy, Xiao Mingyue, you all let me in......!" I want you to see what a real man is!"

When the sour maid heard this, her face turned pale suddenly, she pursed her lips, glanced at the other two, and went in together with her head down.

In the evening, Zhang Teng went to Tiehu's residence again.

I saw that the eight maids were all languid and tired, while Tiehu was full of energy, high spirits, and in an excellent mood.

He asked Tiehu about returning to Yunjing.

Tie Hu said: "Lin Dong and Lin Jin's injuries are not light, we have to look at the situation of the two, of course, this matter will not wait too long, at most five days, we will set off." However, your rewards are only issued with pills and jade stones at the moment, and as for the weapon cheats, they will be issued after returning to Yunjing. ”

Zhang Teng didn't care very much, and said: "Well, it doesn't hurt to send it later, there is an elder in the younger generation who is seriously ill, and the main reason is to go to Yunjing to visit her as soon as possible." ”

Tie Hu was quite surprised, and said strangely: "Zhang Teng, aren't you an orphan, how can you have relatives in Yunjing?"

Zhang Teng informed Tiehu about his mother-in-law Duoli, and finally he said: "She is my teacher of etiquette, treating me like my own grandson, I regard her as my own grandmother, and now she is seriously ill and quite anxious." ”

Tiehu nodded approvingly, and said: "Well, it's rare for you to have such filial piety, tomorrow I will send someone to ask Linjiazhuang to see the situation of those two boys, if the injuries of the two are getting better, we will go on the road as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Teng thanked Tiehu, then took out the martial arts recommendation order and asked, "Senior Tie, with this order, can I bring a companion to Yunjing together?"

"Recommending the Martial Order?"

When Tie Hu saw the token, he was immediately taken aback, his pupils contracted, he looked at Zhang Teng with burning eyes, and asked: "Zhang Teng, where did you get this order? If you have this order, you don't have to participate in any martial arts competitions at all, just look for me, and I will take you back to Yunjing with me when the time comes!"

Zhang Teng smiled helplessly and said: "This is a gift from one of my music teachers, she only gave it to me today, and I didn't know there was such a thing." ”

Tie Hu's face was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is your name as the music teacher, and how can you have this order?"

Zhang Teng hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "She is a woman, her name is Nie Qingniang, she used to live in Suining, and now she is in Yunjing, I don't know how she has this order." ”

When Tiehu heard the name of "Nie Qingniang", he was shocked, jumped up from the Taishi chair, and shouted in a lost voice: "Nie Family Immortal!"

"Nie Family Immortal?" Zhang Teng asked with a confused face, "What do you mean?" Is Nie Immortal Sister Nie's nickname?"

Tie Hu pressed Zhang Teng's shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly: "It's not her nickname, it's her name! Nie Qingniang is known as "Yunxia Immortal", not to mention that she is peerless, her talent is extremely high, and more importantly, she has a great background and power, and when she stomps her feet, Yun Xia will shake it! Boy, do you call her Sister Nie? Are you very familiar with each other? Wait, you say she is your music teacher?"

He exerted great force, and his hands were like iron tongs, and it hurt Zhang Teng extremely much.

Zhang Teng patted Tiehu's hand, and while gasping for cool air, he said to her: "Senior Tie, calm down, your hands are holding my shoulders very painful!"

Hearing this, Tiehu hurriedly withdrew his hand, and while helping him arrange the clothes on his shoulders, he laughed and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......! Zhang Teng, how do you know the Nie family's immortals? Eh, that is, Nie Qingniang, the sister Nie in your mouth. ”

Zhang Teng frowned and said:

"Didn't I say it just now? I was chased and killed by the Li family, panicked, accidentally fell and was injured, it was Mother-in-law Duoli who took me back, and Sister Nie saved my life casually. They are my lifesavers, and on weekdays I do some work for them, give them some game and fresh fish, one of them teaches me music, and the other teaches me etiquette. Mother-in-law treated me like a grandson, and Sister Nie treated me like a brother. I just sent someone to send the martial arts recommendation order today, and they didn't know that I could win the championship. ”

Tiehu laughed, patted Zhang Teng's shoulder, and said:

"Boy, I really can't imagine that you know each other like this, and I can't imagine that the famous Yunjing, the unattainable Nie Family Immortal, would value you so much. Hehe, this is a good thing, a great thing. Since you know them, then there may be a glimmer of hope for your longevity! Hehe, thinking about it this way, Lao Tzu is not taking you for nothing!"

"Take me for nothing?" Zhang Teng smiled bitterly, "Indeed, the juniors have disappointed the seniors." ”

"Ahem, that...... That's human nature, you should understand. Tiehu knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly coughed lightly to cover up the past.

"However, Sister Nie has never told me about her, and I don't know what 'Yunxia Immortal' she is. Zhang Teng said, "Then there should be no problem with this military order, can I bring an escort to accompany me?"

Tie Hu returned to his seat, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, before he said slowly, "This is natural. If you want to bring it, you can bring it, but you can only bring one person, this is the rule. ”

Zhang Teng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back tomorrow, and I'll take her back to Yunjing with me when the time comes." ”

Tiehu nodded, but asked again: "Boy, you have been injured so badly, you will be healed so quickly? Won't you stay for a few more days? This matter is not very urgent, you can recover from your injuries and then go back, if you want to notify someone, I can send someone to help you inform." ”

Zhang Teng saluted Tiehu with a fist and said, "Thank you seniors for your concern, my injuries are almost healed, I'll go back to her tomorrow, and I don't need to be notified by my seniors." When the time comes, I'll come here on time. ”

When Tiehu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and immediately vetoed:

"No, you can't stay at home, you have to go and bring him back here on the same day. Suining is quite chaotic, in case something happens to you, I can't afford it. Tomorrow I will either send someone to escort you back, or someone will invite you to bring your companion here, and nothing else will be discussed. In short, when you arrive in Yunjing, you can do whatever you like, but along the way, you must listen to me, and there must be no accidents. ”

"This ...... Alright then, you'll send someone to escort me back tomorrow. ”

Zhang Teng heard him say this, sighed, and had to agree.

However, judging from Tiehu's attitude, the Nie Qingniang he knew was not as simple as he imagined.

What kind of identity background does Nie Qingniang have?

She is called "Yunjing Immortal", which seems to have another meaning.

All this will not be slowly revealed until he arrives in Yunjing......
