Geng Ruji looked at the city gate and smiled at Zhang Fan: "Mr. Zhang, now I think that I have arrived at the border in the north, but I think that there is no such situation in the border pass in the north. Zhang Fan said with a smile: "The mobilization power of agricultural society generally does not reach this level, and the reason why there is such a level today is because Zhang Congzhe has a wide range of channels a few days ago and brought grain, grass and weapons, otherwise everything is not to be discussed, it seems that some people in the DPRK are easy to talk to." "These days, Wu Yuanji has transported more than 100,000 stones, grain and grass and many armor and equipment for Zhang Congzhe, because Wu Yuanji knows that if these things go through the road of Licheng, they will definitely let Cui Guiyuan rob them, and they are besieged by thieves under the pretext that they will send all these soldiers and grain and grass directly to Tai'an City.

Along the way, they saw a lot of grain and grass being transported to the city, and both of them were very happy, if it were not for the lack of horsemen, they would definitely have to go out to attack.

At this moment, he saw a fast horse galloping, with three flags planted on the horseback, and the knight shouted: "Governor Cui killed General Zhang Shujiao, and arrested the Liao soldiers Zhang Chengdou, Zhang Chenglu and others...... The voice came from afar, and Zhang Fan and Geng Ruji were shocked.

When Zhang Shujiao was in Tai'an, he did a lot of things for Tai'an's Baiwa, and now there are many people who remember his kindness, Zhang Fan arrived later, naturally he doesn't know deeply, but Geng Ruji is deeply gracious, the thieves besieged Tai'an for the first time, it was Zhang Shujiao who brought the elite soldiers of the headquarters to rescue, and now when he heard the news, Geng Ruji stood on the spot, speechless for a while.

Zhang Fan was much calmer, and said to the sentinel who gave the order: "Be sure to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhang Chengdou and the others, if you come to Tai'an, you must welcome this side, don't let this group of men vote for thieves." The sentinel took the order, and Geng Ruji said to himself: "How can this be, the news only came a few days ago, and it was said that the thieves were defeated, why did Lord Cui want to destroy the Great Wall." Zhang Fan said: "But I don't have time to take care of these things, and now I don't know that Zhang Shujiao's remnants plan to do so." ”

The two were speechless, and the two looked at the fortifications elsewhere, most of them had been completed, and the people who practiced in the open space outside the city also looked good, probably reaching the standard required by Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan took his hand, now he is just a guest secretary, not an official body, of course, there is no place to live, Wu Chuanyu once invited Zhang Fan to Wu Chuanyu's house to live, Zhang Fan knew that Shui Mingyu was at Wu Chuanyu's place, so he refused, Wu Chuanyu also thought about asking Zhang Fan to be an elder, so as to handle the family affairs with Shui Ming, Zhang Fan wanted to persuade him two sentences, seeing the fanaticism and joy of the young man, what he wanted to say also swallowed back into his mouth, and now he can't persuade Wu Chuanyu to say anything, so he had to say that he wanted Hu Yida to preside, he withdrew, found an inn in the city, paid for the room, and got a vacant room, and can only afford to rent a room that is not very good.

Entered the inn, the little two are busy, the owner of the inn is reluctant to hire more people, everything is pushed to the little two, Zhang Fan can't bear it, and he doesn't bother this little two, he went into the kitchen, found some steamed buns, jerky, ready to deal with a meal, I don't want a woman's figure is already in this small kitchen, this woman is wearing a peasant woman's coarse cloth clothes, the graceful figure keeps turning in this small space, waving a shovel, and is stir-frying.

Zhang Fan glanced at the woman dressed as a woman, only glanced at it, and hurriedly turned his eyes away, although the woman was wearing coarse linen clothes, but there was a phoenix crown like wearing the queen's grace, and he saw the woman's hand with a spatula, as exquisite as jade, although in the kitchen, there was no fireworks, those smoke and dust, even close to her, I saw her brows frowning slightly, eyebrows raised like a light dai, this smile, mortals saw it, just afraid that they would immediately bow down at her feet.

This kitchen is even narrow, Zhang Fan only said that the wife of which family is not used to eating this food, and wants to cook by herself, so he turned around and retreated, wanting to wait for a while, and when the others are finished, he will go to find food again, but when he smells the aroma in this kitchen, he thinks that he will swallow the unpalatable porridge after a while, and he can't help sighing.

Sitting in the hall, the little two finally finished the work, put the towel on his shoulder, went to Zhang Fan, moved the chair and sat down, now the boss is not there, if the owner of the inn is there, this little two can not sit down, but also Zhang Fan is very familiar with Xiao Er these days, naturally there is no need to be so polite, the little two took a sip of tea, and said to Zhang Fan: "Mr. Zhang, the breathing method you taught me is really useful, and I am not tired of working in the past two days." Zhang Fan saw that the innkeeper was exploiting this little two every day, so as to teach this little two some internal skills.

Zhang Fan said: "It's nothing, you practice it well, if you practice this method, I will teach you a second-hand kung fu." The little two were overjoyed when they heard this: "Zhang Shengsheng, I really don't know how to thank you, the Tan family martial arts hall on the street also teaches people kung fu, but there is a kick-off in the opening of the martial arts, it costs five taels of silver a month, I heard that if you want to pass on the words of Tan's father, you have to pay more gift money, but you can't learn anything after paying the money, I see that Ah Niu in the same village has learned, and it is still the same when I come back, what you taught me is really useful, and I am in good spirits in the past two days." Zhang Fan took a sip of tea and sighed: "Kung Fu is left by all sages, and it is not meant to be kept privately. The little two were puzzled, seeing that Zhang Fan's tea was gone, so he got up and went to serve tea for Zhang Fan, he couldn't do anything for Zhang Fan, these behaviors were the only way to repay Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan took a sip and said, "Xiao Er Zhang, there is only one martial art you have learned, don't want martial arts to be a traitor, do you know?" Zhang Fan looked at the kitchen and said, "Do you know who this busy lady is, and how did she go to the kitchen by herself?"

Xiao Er was stunned, stepped forward and said: "Mr. Zhang, I only know that this lady brought her husband here, saying that she doesn't want to stay in the official office, and she is also wide-ranging, Zhang Shengxian doesn't see her beauty, and wants to beat her idea, but my little second Zhang will not help Mr. Zhang, even if Zhang Shengxian doesn't teach me kung fu." After Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said: "You think of it, this woman has a good kung fu on her, and it is very similar to a legendary martial arts, I have doubts in my heart, so I naturally want to ask." Xiao Er was stunned and said: "I don't think it like, this lady looks like a fairy, Mr. Zhang, you are well-informed, do you say she is a fairy?" Zhang Fan heard this, almost laughed the tea in his mouth, and said: "Then you go and call her a fairy sister to give it a try, I think you have the kind of stupid appearance of Duan Yu." Xiao Er was stunned and said: "Who is Duan Yu? What kind of stupid look?" At this time, the woman carried a food box and walked out of the kitchen door, seeing the two of them here, obviously Zhang Fan was waiting to use the kitchen, and immediately bowed slightly, Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and did not notice that his saliva flowed out.

Zhang Fan frowned, he had already reached the point of distinguishing the five yin, only one step away from the point of proving the void, of course he would not be fascinated by anything, and immediately snorted coldly, the woman's face turned white, immediately took a few steps back, and hurriedly turned around and left, Zhang Fan also knew that the other party did not deliberately show off the charm, but he couldn't hold it, so he patted Xiao Er, Xiao Er woke up, saw Zhang Fan, and shouted: "Mr. Zhang, why didn't you see that lady." Zhang Fan smiled: "Naturally, it's gone." Xiao Er glanced at the door again and shouted, "Zhang Shengxian, you see, this lady's husband is also here, what a majestic man." Zhang Fan turned his head to look over, shocked in his heart, and said, "How could this man be injured by the palm power of the Bashan faction, and the injury was not light." ”

The man at the door is eight feet long, a majestic and good man, and the first thought of those who watched "Water Margin" was that the other party looked like Wu Song. It's a tower-like man.

Zhang Fan made a move, a few steamed buns flew from the kitchen to his hands, Zhang Fan got up, planning to take a look, these two people carried the food box, and walked to the backyard of the inn, Zhang Fan bit the steamed buns while walking, planning to see what the two people came from, the man just now was obviously injured, Zhang Fan's eyesight is outstanding, at a glance he can see that the other party is injured clearly, look at the palm power, there are only a few people in the world who have such skills, in the Bashan faction, either their own master, or their own junior brother Hu Yida.

The two helped each other to the backyard, into a guest room, obviously the two planned to eat in the guest room, Zhang Fan sticking to the door, from the crack in the door, then saw the two sitting in the room, the woman was serving a meal for her husband, the tenderness in her eyes was infinite, Zhang Fan saw this look, and suddenly thought of his sister Xie Yu, in the past days, Xie Yu was also like this for Zhang Fan's meal, and the expression was the same as that woman, and some couldn't help but be a little daze.

The two of them sat down, and then ate the vegetables, only to listen to the woman: "Brother Zhang, how do you feel now, hasn't Hu Yida's palm power been forced out yet?" The tower man said: "This is much heavier than the last time you slapped me, Hu Yida's palm, I feel like an elephant stepping on my foot, and now I can't be lucky." After speaking, his expression seemed to be very down, Zhang Fan took a closer look, and sure enough, the man's face was very blue, and although the woman also had a small injury, it was fine. The woman saw that the man was unhappy, so she took a chopstick dish, sent it to the man's bowl, and said softly: "Brother Zhang, let's taste the dishes I made first, and see how I do it?" The man said: "It's good, but if someone peeps, it's not comfortable to eat." With that, his hand shook, and a piece of pork ribs flew towards Zhang Fan, who was peeking at the crack in the door.

Zhang Fan made up his mind and said with a smile: "Don't waste it." With a mouth, he swallowed this piece of pork rib into his mouth, and at the same time pushed his hand, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Delicious, delicious, I remember, you are Zhang Cunren, I heard that Chuanyu said that Zhang Cunren also invested in Tai'an Mansion, but when he heard that I was coming, he moved away, and I didn't expect to see two of them here." Zhang Cunren was shocked, although his martial arts were small contusions, but just now he threw it like this, and the piece of meat that he hit could beat the rockery outside the door into powder, and he didn't want the young man in a gray cloth to open his mouth and swallow it, so he stood up and said: "I heard that Zhang Fan went to Tai'an Mansion earlier, do you want to help your junior brother come and get me?" The woman on one side also stood up and made the appearance of fighting.

Zhang Fan said: "Don't fight, don't fight, but I'm not all the way with my junior brother, I'm just here to ask for advice, I don't know how my junior brother has a grudge against the two." As he spoke, he sat down at the table.

The two glanced at each other, and both saw that Zhang Fan had no malicious intent, and the man sat down and said, "Don't you know what your junior brother has done?" Why didn't you ask Wu Chuanyu Shaoxia, but came to ask me?" Zhang Fan waved his hand and said: "My martial artist nephew is very loyal, and he won't say anything bad about his master, but I know what kind of person my junior brother is, and I want to ask Zhang Daxia." ”

The woman also sat down and said, "Let the concubine and Zhang Daxia share it." ”

Zhang Fan returned to the room, it was already past dinner time, Zhang Fan and Zhang Cunren talked for a long time, so they didn't care about eating, but only swallowed a few steamed buns.

I saw that the boss was scolding Xiao Erzhang, scolding bitterly, and the boss shouted: "Raising you is like raising a pig, stupid, stupid doesn't matter, why are you so lazy, you need to know if people are stupid, and they are so lazy, I really lose a lot." ”

Zhang Fan frowned, this little second Zhang was lazy, but he was exploited badly, Xiao Erzhang's eyes were full of tears, and he didn't dare to reply to the boss, just silently bowed his head to work, Zhang Fan walked to Xiao Erzhang and said, "You come to my room at night, I will teach you kung fu." But seeing that this little two is an honest man, he has the heart to teach him a skill, so that he can rely on it, I don't want the boss to see Zhang Fan, and I see that Geng Ruji is also respectful to Zhang Fan, and I also know that Zhang Fan is a character, so I put on a smiling face at the moment, and came up to talk to Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan replied lukewarmly, and then went back to his room and sat down.

Originally, Zhang Fan didn't want to practice martial arts anymore, because in Zhang Fan's view, no matter how good martial arts are, after all, it is a mortal body, martial arts has a limit, and the human body has a limit, so martial arts have a limitZhang Fan is now picking up the inner breath and re-cultivating, which is also extremely fast, the inner breath is actually the spirit, Zhang Fan's spirit has not collapsed, the martial arts will not be lost, the spirit will be in line with the heart, the heart is close to the laws of nature, and it is close to the Tao.

Zhang Fan meditated for a while, and saw that it was dark at the window, and at this time, Zhang Fan suddenly saw his body sitting on the bed, so he smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "It seems that the day when the five yin and five aggregates are separated is not far away." As soon as his mind moved, the glass world disappeared, and when he opened his eyes again, he sat on the bed.

At this time, the spirit in his ears heard the boss outside the door scolding in a low voice, it was scolding Xiao Erzhang, the voice came, and the boss scolded: "What are you, you are not allowed to disturb the distinguished guests." It turned out that Xiao Er Zhang was about to come to see Zhang Fan, but was stopped by the boss, and Xiao Er Zhang shouted: "It was Mr. Zhang who called me up, and Mr. Zhang wanted to teach me martial arts." When the boss heard this, he became even more angry, and scolded: "I don't allow you to learn, you have been a slave to me all your life, and you have learned martial arts, do you want to rebel." I heard a "pop" again, it turned out that the boss slapped Xiao Erzhang in the face, Xiao Erzhang sobbed in a low voice, thinking that he was afraid of being beaten, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of finding Zhang Fan, so he turned back, and the boss spit out and scolded in a low voice: "Let you learn a skill, where do you put me?" I looked at Zhang Fan's room again, Zhang Fan was diligent in martial arts at this time, although he was only listening, but he seemed to be able to hear the fierce face on the boss's face, at this time Zhang Fan's skills were improving, if it was before, he would naturally be angry, but now he is no longer angry, and his heart is just thinking about how to teach that little Erzhang, this little Erzhang is honest and diligent, and he is a good material for learning fists and feet, and he will not be worse than the other disciples of Zhang Fan's teaching in the future. Xiao Qian is still counted as Gou Yu and Ah Qiu, now Zhao Kuan'er and Xiao Qian are on Bashan Zhijian Peak, Zhang Fan's teaching method is to lead them into the door, and then let them practice by themselves, and now they plan to teach this Xiao Erzhang.
