It has been nearly three months since they left Wangjia Village, Zhang An and Xiao Hei worked hard, and finally put away all the stones under Cao Cao's rule, leaving only three pieces of Xuzhou.

The process of collecting stones is lackluster, and apart from the occasional few small-eyed thieves who try to rob Zhang An, there is nothing worth writing about.

It is worth mentioning that in the process of searching for stones, Zhang An also determined that Xiao Hei could indeed distinguish which stone he wanted.

Among the eleven stones, only three were discovered by Zhang An himself at a glance, and the rest were all found by Xiao Hei.

When he was in a hurry, in line with the idea of being a single person with more debts, Zhang An absorbed all the stones he collected.

It's just that after absorbing these stones, there is no vision that appeared in Wangjia Village that day, and no useful abilities have been developed.

However, because of the absorption of this pile of stones, Zhang An's cultivation went further.

The realm of refining the body has broken through the blood exchange, and when he first enters the marrow, he has also cultivated his qi to the high stage of his qi.

And the family that Zhang An had been worried about did not come to disturb Zhang An, which made Zhang An relieved and quite surprised.

Whether it is the classics he has read or his own experience, he tells Zhang An that the family will never bow to himself as a nobody so easily.

Then there are only two possible scenarios.

The first is that there are more important things that many families need to concentrate on coping, thus ignoring the pursuit of Zhang An.

The second is that the family is looking for an opportunity to kill Zhang An with one blow.

Zhang An didn't bother to think about what the family was trying to do, the horizontal and vertical were just soldiers coming to block it, and water was coming to cover it.

His goal now was to quickly collect the three stones under Cao Cao's rule, and then go and find the fifteen stones that had disappeared.

Following the instructions on the map, Zhang An and Xiao Hei made their way to the location of the nineteenth stone.

But before that, Zhang An was going to take a detour to the nearest city to him, Guangling.

For nearly three months, they basically spent camping in the open air, and Zhang An and Xiao Hei needed to replenish dry food and change clothes.

And although Zhang An has been trying to change the two horses to save horsepower, but under the high-intensity use, the two horses are still to the point of running out of oil and need to be replaced.

When he was about to arrive in Guangling, Xiao Hei refused to enter the city, and Zhang Anqiang couldn't help Xiao Hei, so he could only rely on him.

In Yang Zhai was stopped because of Fang Tian's halberd, and because he showed Zhanlu's extraordinary, he was killed by Guo County's order, and the situation that caused a series of things in the back is still vivid, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Zhang An handed over another horse and Zhanlu to Xiao Hei for safekeeping.

Although Zhang An can already condense and transform at this time, but in case of a battle, he will consume a lot of gas by condensing his qi as a soldier, Zhang An, who wanted to enter the city empty-handed, thought about it, and finally picked out the most inconspicuous one from the seven long swords found in Guo County's Ling's house and matched it on his body.

After instructing Xiao Hei not to run around, Zhang An walked to Guangling alone.

He led his horse and mingled in the crowd, waiting to enter the city.

Because Guangling was already very close to the Jiangdong forces, and now it was time for Cao Cao to conquer Eastern Wu, the atmosphere in Guangling was a little tense.

After being strictly interrogated at the city gate, Zhang An was a little glad that he had left Fang Tian's halberd outside the city, which saved him a little less trouble.

After entering Guangling, Zhang An looked at the orderly streets, and once again worried about money.

When Yang Zhai, Guo County Ling gave Zhang An a heavy bag of money, but before leaving Wangjia Village, he was worried that Wang Wu and they would use the money when they moved, so Zhang An kept a large part of the bag of money, and then except for the money spent on buying dry food when he occasionally passed through the village on the road, Zhang An now has only five hundred pieces of money left.

This amount of money, let alone buying a horse, is not enough to buy a horse leg.

"Where can I find someone as generous as Guo Xianling?" Zhang An frowned and pondered.

In fact, he also knew that the reason why Guo Xianling was so generous was just to paralyze Zhang An, and he felt that after he cleaned up Zhang An, the bag of money could be returned to his hands.

Otherwise, the idea of borrowing some money from a wealthy and unkind family by himself could not linger in Zhang An's mind as soon as this thought surfaced.

Dick's hatred of the rich made Zhang An not resist this idea at all, but had some expectations.

It is said that if you rob the rich and help the poor, you will be very poor, this idea is no problem and feasible.

After making up his mind, Zhang An walked around Guangling, bought the necessary dry food and clothing, and walked into the most lively restaurant in Guangling City at noon.

Ordering a meat and a vegetarian dish at random, Zhang An ate casually, listening attentively to the conversations of the other guests.

The guests who eat in the restaurant are not only natives of Guangling, but also merchants from all over the world.

The content of their words also opened Zhang An's eyes.

Parents are short, the general trend of the world, oil, rice, sauce and vinegar, grain, iron, salt and wine.

The lobby of this restaurant seems to be a microcosm of society, where people of all religions and sects gather.

While eating, Zhang An looked at the other guests in the restaurant curiously.

There are those who are frustrated and lonely, those who are high-spirited, and those who are calm and calm.

Especially there are a few tables of guests who are about to drink, their tone is generous, they are excited, pointing out the country, if it is not for them to say, it is basically bullshit, just look at their performance, Zhang An also thought that he had met a few amazing characters.

Zhang An listened patiently for a long time, but he didn't hear the message he wanted.

Could it be that this big family in Guangling is a good person who keeps to himself?

Zhang An muttered in his heart, and casually pulled a passing junior, Zhang An stuffed a few big coins for him, and asked him if anything interesting had happened in Guangling recently, and asked what he wanted.

The result surprised Zhang An, this big family in Guangling is really a good person who keeps to himself.

In fact, there were indeed a few big families in Guangling before who were rich and arrogant, but all this has changed after Guangling Taishou took office.

Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong, is the current Guangling Taishou.

Zhang An had no impression of this figure who also left a mark in the history books, and he remembered that Chen Deng once assisted Cao Cao in breaking Lu Bu, and died of illness after eating raw fish.

However, in Xiao Er's mouth, Chen Deng is a good official who is sympathetic to the people's feelings, honest and upright, and fair.

When Xiao Er left, Zhang An had no intention of eating, and once again pondered his plan to make money.

There is nothing to do about robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he is unwilling to do things that violate the law and discipline, and Zhang An is at a loss for how to make money.

At this moment, Zhang An heard a few people whispering at the next table.

"Cao Gong's recent capture of Jiangdong has been quite unsmooth. ”

"Yes, I heard that Cao Gong fought with Sun Ce Xiao'er on the river for several months, but he was never able to move forward. ”

"Alas, if this war continues, I am afraid that the price of food will rise again, how can we people live. ”

The next thing is to pour bitter water on each other, and Zhang An didn't continue to listen.

Cao Cao's capture of Jiangdong was not smooth? Zhang An frowned slightly.

Does this have anything to do with the stone that disappeared by itself?

Zhang An, who had been thinking about why the stone disappeared, was a little nervous, and if he heard a little something, he could connect with the stone.

Zhang An, who continued to sit for a while, couldn't think of a way, and didn't collect any favorable information, walked out of the restaurant.

Zhang An led the horse and wandered around Guangling aimlessly, wanting to see if he could find any errands that would make money quickly.

While passing through a remote path, Zhang An was surrounded by more than a dozen men wearing coarse cloth clothes and wearing long swords at their waists.

Zhang An listened to the man in front of him say that he would leave the money, the sword, and the horse, and hurry up, and held the long sword in his hand with a sense of boredom.

Beat these dozen people to the head of the rats, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Zhang An didn't have the heart to worry about them, sighed, led the horse and prepared to leave.

"This old man, stay for the time being. A middle-aged man with a blue nose and swollen face stopped Zhang An, but there was no resentment on his face, but a smile.

Zhang An stopped, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you stop me?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand to drive away the other men who were approaching him, and then whispered, "I see that the old brother is strong, I wonder if he is interested in making a big deal?"

"Oh?" Zhang An was interested, "What kind of deal, how big is it?"

"Kill. The middle-aged man licked his mouth and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Kill Chen Deng." ”

Zhang An was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled.

Stop the enemy who beats his ass and pee, and then invite the enemy to go with him to kill a place Taishou, this man can't be stupid by himself, right?

Zhang An looked at the man with pity and said, "Brother, aren't you suffering from madness? For your sake, I won't care about you." ”

After speaking, Zhang An led the horse, bypassed the middle-aged man who stopped him, and continued to move forward.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man ran over again and whispered, "I know that my brother will definitely not believe it, it is better for my brother to come to a certain place and know as soon as he goes." ”

The middle-aged man's face was full of sincerity, as if he was sure that as long as Zhang An went with him, he would definitely agree to kill Chen Deng.

Zhang An looked at the middle-aged man who was convincing and matter-of-fact, and agreed to the man without too much hesitation.

At this point, Zhang An was indeed curious about the middle-aged man's words, and wanted to see what he was going to do.

If he is going to bring himself into the den of thieves, and then attack him in groups, Zhang An will naturally use the long sword in his hand to teach him how to behave.

If the middle-aged man really conspired with a group of people to assassinate Chen Deng, Zhang An, as Lu Bu's personal guard, could be regarded as Cao Cao's command, and if this was indeed the case, Zhang An would not mind helping Cao Cao's courtiers clean up some minor troubles.

While following the man through the path of Guangling, Zhang An asked, "I don't know you, and I was your enemy just now, how dare you tell me such a big thing?" Aren't you afraid that I will tell Chen Taishou?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, brother, just now I let those people leave, just now I went to inform the leader that I am trying to win you over, if you really have the intention of reporting us to Chen Deng's traitor, it will be absolutely impossible for you to approach the Taishou Mansion alive." ”

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Zhang An pretended to be disdainful and said, "Then I'll kill you now, and then go to Chen Taishou to report to Er and the other Diao people, and see if I can enter the Taishou Mansion alive." ”

Who knew that the middle-aged man waved his hand, and said lightly, "Brother Zhang An, don't mess around, everyone is the same way, and they should help each other." ”

When Zhang An saw him call out his name, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"Zhang An, General Lu Bu's personal guard, after the bloody battle against the barbarians, he was awarded the title of General Chong, and later learned the sword from the emperor Wang Yue, and was assassinated and poisoned in Lu Bu's mansion. After that, he continued his life for Xun Lingjun, went out of Xudu, traveled the world, killed Guo Zheng, the commander of Yangzhai County, and was hunted down and killed by the family. The middle-aged man said Zhang An's general experience at a glance, and then said with a smile, "Brother Zhang An, is you right?"

Zhang An stopped, became murderous, and asked word by word, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man looked directly into Zhang An's eyes without fear, still smiling, "I just said, we are all like-minded." ”
