The trip back to Tianjin was quickly decided.

Three days later, I stood at the gate of the manor with a mute, a woman of appropriate age, and a little loli.

Little Lori tugged at the corner of my clothes tightly, she was still a child after all, and she was a little nervous when she saw the big scene. I amusedly touched the top of her hair and soothed her for a while.

This time, the disciple guarding the door was a child of the Lian family, and when he saw me, he didn't speak, so he opened the door arrogantly and ignored me.

Truth be told, it's the most overlooked I've ever been.

Even when I first came here, I was never treated like this, but I walked in under all kinds of sights all the way.

I shook my head and reluctantly raised my legs and left, but Chen Chong took a step ahead of me, took a long step forward, and walked towards the inside of the manor with strong steps.

“...... Brother Chong, do you know the road......

The corners of my mouth twitched and complained, Chen Chong paused, froze in place, and the roots of his ears were slightly red, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Walking behind me, the fragrance of Bailing couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, and suddenly Chen Chong's cheeks turned even redder, which was very interesting on his tense face.

I walked a few quick steps to catch up with him, bumped Chen Chong's shoulder, and winked at him.

Hehe, I know Brother Chong, you want to behave in front of Xiangxiang again, don't worry, for the sake of our friendship, I will definitely let you chase people down.

Maybe it's because the meaning I want to express is too rich, all kinds of expressions converge on my face and twitch, Chen Chong looked at me in disgust and rolled his eyes, and then stared at the fragrance that followed more affectionately.

"Senior Brother Zhang, go this way. ”

The child guarding the door was immediately unhappy when he saw us stop at the gate, and proudly raised his neck to Nunu in the distance.

"Who gave you the guts, and there are no rules. ”

My face sank, and my tone froze. The air around me was several degrees lower because of the changes in the fluctuation of my breath, and suddenly the child's face could not be suspended.

The manor is located in a remote location, and the children of the four major families, as long as they do not have a task, will take turns to guard in front of each gate.

In view of the fact that the main entrance is the façade of the four major families, the personnel arranged are also mainly internal and external.

I saw that the child's appearance was not bad, and the arrogant look on his face was not concealed at all, so I directly dismounted him, at least let the people in the manor know that my Zhang family is not so easy to bully.

Even if there were no one else in sight, I knew that the matter would soon reach the ears of the patriarchs, and their attitude towards me was entirely dependent on what I had done at this time.

Tsk, a little Taoist priest, why am I still afraid?

“...... Don't be arrogant, now, now the Zhang family is no longer under your control, it's just a lost dog......"

Not to be outdone, the child's eyes shrank slightly, and he could see that he was a little scared, and he couldn't even speak clearly. But he still clenched his fists hanging at his sides, stalking his neck and competing with me, and his small appearance is quite arrogant, if it was before, maybe I would have stepped forward to pinch his face twice.

However, it's just different.

However, just when I was about to teach this child a lesson, Bai Ling, who had been well-behaved and allowed Xiangxiang to hold it in his hand, suddenly became troubled.

The little Lori was very fast, and she didn't even react to Xiangxiang, the little guy rushed out with an arrow, and opened his palm towards the child guarding the door, and in an instant, the green flashed, and two slender rattans jumped out of her hand, and the "whoosh" sounded wrapped around the other party's throat.

"Apologize to Zhang Yan. ”

Bai Ling's delicate voice was cold, obviously she was just a fifteen-year-old girl, but she didn't have any expression on her face as if she was paralyzed, only a pair of big eyes staring at the panicked doorkeeper.

Probably frightened by Bai Ling, although the child looked several years older than her, he couldn't react for a while, so the rattan that crossed his neck tightened again, leaving several blood marks.

I saw that little Lori had the upper hand and didn't suffer a loss, so I didn't bother to do it, and squinted to see the child's reaction.

Most of the other people here are paying attention, and I'm not in a hurry to speak.

"You ...... What a guts......"

The child's face was red, his lips were blue, and the tips of his fingers on the rattan began to turn white.

Seeing that he was about to die, suddenly two delicate daggers shot from the side, and came towards Bai Ling with a sharp sound of breaking wind.

My figure flashed, and I took Bai Ling into my arms in just one second, and took three steps back with the person, and two daggers struck me firmly at my feet, one left and one right, and then I heard a hearty laugh.

"Haha, Zhang Yan, you really can't afford to joke. ”

The man who spoke walked out of the depths of the courtyard, followed by several other people. The rattan on the doorkeeper's neck was suddenly loosened without Bai Ling's control, and he took the opportunity to get rid of the coercion, ran to the speaker's side in three or two steps, and respectfully bent down and whispered a few words.

Since I was a little away from him, I didn't hear what he was saying for a while.

And I can see the man's face clearly, young, tall, but extremely thin, as if he hadn't eaten for several years, and the whole person looked like a refugee.

The face is yellow and thin, and I don't know how to grow so tall.

When he saw me frowning, he smiled even more cheerfully.

"Zhang Yan, you must not remember who I am, hehe, yes, we hardly met when we were children. ”

The man strode towards me, stopped when he was a meter closer to me, and stretched out a hand, "Then let me introduce myself again, my surname is Zhang, and my single name is a blue character." ”

In the face of his burning gaze, I tilted my head and made a look of sudden realization, but grinned, "Ha, I don't know." Let's go. ”

With that, I beckoned the three of them with vigilant faces to walk towards the meeting room of the manor, where the patriarchs must have been.

"You!!"

The man named Zhang Qing was pale, and he stared at me viciously for his face.

It's a pity that I didn't eat him at all, and turned my face to look at the corner of the courtyard, "Patriarch Lian, when did you have such a good relationship with strangers that you allowed this thing to walk around the manor." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a soft sound under the shadow of the big locust tree, and Lian Lao, who was wearing a purple-red robe, walked slowly with a bad face, and glared at the other party impatiently when he passed Zhang Qing, obviously dissatisfied with his failure to test my details.

"Hehe, Zhang Qing just came back not long ago, I don't know much about the current situation, Zhang Yan boy, don't be like him, don't take it to heart. In the future, we need you to face the enemy together. ”

Even the old man's gloomy face only lasted for a second, and then he turned to laugh, and even stepped forward to hook my shoulder, but I gave way to it.

"Ha, let's get down to business, even the old man, please first. I didn't talk nonsense with him, and took the lead in making a gesture and pointed in the direction of the conference room, the old man's face froze, but he still followed my intention towards the conference room on the right.

As for Zhang Qing, I chuckled lightly and didn't intend to pay attention to him.

Although they are well hidden, I still feel the fluctuations of the imitation jade pendant from this guy's body. The dragon jade pendant hanging around my neck was slightly hot, it was the best detector.

I'd like to see what these old men are up to while I'm away.

With my hands behind my back, I pulled Bai Ling with a calm face and followed, and after thinking about it, I still took advantage of this moment to whisper to her, "Don't call me by name directly in the future, it's rude." Reaching out and gently tapping the tip of Xiao Lori's nose, Bailing obediently said "En", and turned his head.

Damn, I always feel like I don't have any status in front of this little doll.

After three minutes of waiting in the conference room, everyone was ready to come.

Lian Lao and Ma Lao with gloomy faces, Chen Lao who looked at me helplessly and smiled bitterly, and several Five Elements Patriarchs with embarrassed faces.

To my surprise, Lian Chen and Chen Ming were also here, but they nodded at me and then walked up to me and stood still, ignoring the angry eyes of several patriarchs.

"Hmph, Zhang Yan, we have tolerated you for a long time, and you should have figured it out when you came back obediently today. ”

Ma Lao saw that the people were almost there, and took the lead in speaking.

"I don't understand what you're saying, I need to come back 'obediently'? But you, who will explain to me why you want to imprison Zhang Xu and imprison my Zhang family? Oh, I'm sorry, this Zhang Qing doesn't count, I don't remember my Zhang Jiayou. ”

Glancing at Lian Lao and Ma Lao, this time I don't plan to give them the steps down.

Last time, these two people took the lead in buttoning me a traitor's hat, and I don't know which tendon the two of them are wrong, but they will join forces with the celestials, and they also reuse people like Zhang Qing who use imitation jade pendants.

If I want to take off this jade pendant, I can't wait to get rid of this unlucky errand.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Lao wanted to persuade him to be the middleman between the two parties and make peace.

However, Ma Lao, who has a more angry temper, obviously doesn't plan to just forget it.

He pointed to my nose and said that I am not doing my job these days, and the Zhang family is a plate of loose sand without the leadership of Zhang Lao, I don't know what I am doing, and I need a smart person to lead.

I sneered, knowing that the "man with brains" he spoke of would not be me.

Sure enough, Ma Lao confidently pointed to Zhang Qing, who was standing proudly on the side, and said that he was the best candidate.

"Zhang Qing, this kid can be regarded as a few of us old men who grew up, if it weren't for some misunderstanding in the middle, he wouldn't have been on the side for so long, and we still can't stop you. ”

Ma Lao choked up as he spoke, and wiped his tears with a gesture, if it weren't for his steady breath, I might really believe him.

Zhang Qing is also a good person, seeing that the old man paved the way for him like this, he immediately knelt down quite acquaintedly, and said polite words in a heavy tone, with a pitiful and humble appearance, which almost blinded me.

“...... I know that Senior Brother Zhang has always been the leader of the younger generation before, and not long after returning to the Zhang family, this leader is ......."

Zhang Qing looked at me embarrassedly, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

However, how could I be frightened by this posture, and opened my mouth before him, "Hehe, in this case, you better go back to the side, the Zhang family doesn't need you." ”
