Chapter 548: Shadow
Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly: "I've been investigating, but every time I get to a critical place, the clues are broken, and I still have no clue to this day." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"It seems that this force is well-organized, and the plan is not small!" Speaking of this, Zhang Bao'er sneered: "It's okay if the lower officials don't know, but now that they know, if they don't pull it up, I won't be called Zhang Bao'er." ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "I knew that the only one who could deal with them was you, Master Zhang......"
Zhang Bao'er suddenly asked: "Shangguan Zhaorong told Xiaguan that these things won't be without plans, right?" You say, what do you need? ”
"Talking to smart people is easy to do, and I do have one thing to ask for!"
Zhang Bao'er quietly waited for Shangguan Wan'er's next step.
"It's too early to say this, and it can only be said in the future when the parties will see each other. For Wan'er's sake of telling her bluntly today, I hope that Lord Zhang will not refuse! ”
Zhang Bao'er saw that Shangguan Wan'er didn't say anything, nor did she force it, but just nodded: "Today, Xiaguan owes Shangguan Zhaorong a favor, and he will pay it back one day, Shangguan Zhaorong just rest assured." ”
……
That night, Yan Gu was quietly summoned into the mansion by Zhang Bao'er again, and the two talked until the second half of the night before Yan Gu left in a hurry. Although Uncle Hua, who was guarding outside the house, didn't know what they were talking about, he could feel from Zhang Baoer's solemn expression that what they were talking about must be extraordinary.
……
The shadow of dawn quietly faded, the morning light floated with light steps, the warm spring breeze blew gently, the sun shone on the earth, the sun was shining, the wind was beautiful, and the spring was pleasant!
Zhang Baoer, Jiang Yuqiao, and Uncle Hua rode horses all the way to look at the pastures by the mountains and rivers, and watched the beautiful scenery, which made people feel that the beauty was hard to accept.
Li Si's Zhang Bao'er's guards followed closely behind.
"Li Si, how many days have they arrived?" Zhang Baoer asked casually.
Zhang Baoer asked about the child slaves who arrived in Qixingzhuang.
After Princess Taiping gave Zhang Bao'er the place called Qixingzhuang outside Chang'an, Zhang Bao'er sent a letter to Hou Jie and Zhao Langzhen in Luzhou, asking him to quickly select a group of child slaves and rush to Chang'an. Zhang Bao'er planned to let these children stay in Qixingzhuang for a long time, after all, his strength in Chang'an was a little weak, and with these descendants who were loyal to him, he would feel much more at ease.
After these children arrived at Qixingzhuang, Zhang Baoer didn't have time to take a look, and today there was a rare time, so Zhang Baoer went straight to Qixingzhuang.
"Master, they've been here for ten days!" Li Si replied.
"Those children are still young, and I don't know if Uncle Dong can take care of them alone!" Zhang Bao'er muttered.
Zhang Baoer handed over Qixingzhuang to Dong Fei to take care of, of course, so that he could brew ancient treasure wine here in the future, after all, ancient vice treasure wine can bring him a stable source of wealth.
Uncle Hua smiled and said: "Uncle can rest assured at this point, don't think that Dong Fei can only make wine, doing this little thing is not a problem for him at all!" ”
"Oh? Uncle Dong still has this ability? Zhang Baoer is interested.
"If the little master doesn't believe it, let's go to the Zhuangzi to see, he keeps it in good order!" Uncle Hua said confidently.
Zhang Bao'er stopped talking, laughing and riding the horse.
Qixingzhuang is located in Wannian County, not far from Chang'an City, only about twenty miles away.
Zhang Baoer and his entourage had never been to Qixingzhuang, so they asked all the way and soon arrived at the head of the village.
When Zhang Baoer looked at the horse, Li Si raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile on his face: "Come out!" ”
Zhang Bao'er was stunned for a moment, and found that two figures suddenly jumped down from a dense old locust tree, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be two and a half children.
The two children knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Bao'er's horse, and the leading child said loudly: "Zhang Da has seen the master!" ”
Zhang Da was the oldest of the first batch of child slaves that Zhang Baoer bought, and Zhang Baoer couldn't help but be happy when she saw him: "We are all brothers, hurry up!" ”
"Yes! Master! Zhang Da stood up.
Zhang Bao'er turned over and dismounted, walked to Zhang Da and looked at it carefully for a while, before she was relieved: "Yes, it's much stronger than when I left!" ”
Zhang Da didn't speak, but his eyes were a little moist.
"You're not lazy when I'm gone, are you?" Zhang Baoer asked with a smile on her face.
Zhang Da puffed up his chest and said: "Master, no one is lazy, Zhao Tou said, only the best people who have the best ability can come to Chang'an to protect the master, everyone is training hard!" ”
The Zhao Tou in Zhang Da's mouth is naturally Zhao Langzhen.
Zhang Baoer quipped: "It seems that Zhang Da is the best at your ability?" ”
Zhang Da was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know if I'm the best, but I've come to Chang'an now!" ”
Zhang Bao'er asked curiously, "Zhang Da, why are you hiding in a tree?" ”
"This is what Zhao Tou taught us, we have to set up a whistle everywhere!"
Zhang Bao'er nodded, it seems that Zhao Langzhen chose to train these children in the first place, these children are very progressive.
"Are there whistles all around Zhuangzi?" Zhang Bao'er
"Yes, master, Zhuangzi has set up secret sentinels in all four directions!" Zhang Da nodded.
Zhang Bao'er nodded with satisfaction, and instructed Zhang Da: "Lead the way in front of the head!" ”
"Yes, master!" Zhang Da ordered the other boy, "Stone, you continue to be vigilant!" ”
After that, he walked forward with great vigour.
Along the way, Zhang Baoer talked with Zhang Dapan: "How many people are in Chang'an?" ”
Zhang Daru said: "Master Qiqi, a total of one hundred and twenty-four people came, including me, Zhang San, Zhang Qi, Zhang Eighteen, and one hundred and twenty shadows. ”
"Shadows? What is Shadow? Zhang Baoer was puzzled.
"Master Qiqi, each of the twenty-three of us selected some child slaves for training, all in the same way we were trained. Zhao Tou said, these people have not been approved by the master, unlike the twenty-three of us, they can't see the light, they can only be called shadows. That is, each of the twenty-three of us has our own shadow. ”
Zhang Bao'er smiled: "That stone just now, is it your shadow?" ”
"Yes, master, he is the most brilliant of my shadows!"
From Zhang Da's words, it can be heard that Zhang Baoer's original idea has a certain prototype, and he can't help but feel relieved in his heart, and says to Zhang Dadao: "Tell those shadows that as long as they work hard, they can see the light in the future, and like you, they will have their own names." ”
Zhang Da said excitedly: "Yes, master!" I will definitely pass it on to them, and I believe this is the greatest news for them! ”
Zhang Baoer didn't know why this Zhuangzi was called Qixingzhuang, but he could see that Qixingzhuang had been around for a certain number of years.
