Zhang Chu asked Da Liu to lead Liu Wu to the side hall for dinner, and then sent someone to invite the mules over.

As soon as the mule stepped into the lobby, he glanced left and right, and didn't see Liu Wu's shadow, so he smiled and said, "What, is the matter of the fifth master very tricky?"

It's all human spirits.

Although the mule didn't ask, and Liu Wu didn't say anything, he just looked at the anxiety on Liu Wu's face that couldn't be hidden, and he had already guessed that Liu Wu suddenly looked for his eldest brother in Taipingguan, and he must have asked his eldest brother for help in an urgent matter.

If an ordinary person comes to the mule and doesn't say one, two, three, four, it is impossible for the mule to let him see his eldest brother.

But it is clear that Liu Wu is not an ordinary person.

At least in the eldest brother's place, Liu Wu is not an ordinary person.

Others don't know the grievances and grievances of the Black Tiger Hall back then, and the old man who has been with Zhang Chu since he was just a white paper fan in the Black Tiger Hall is clear.

"It's a little tricky. ”

Zhang Chu nodded, "Sit down and talk." ”

The mule nodded, and sat down on a random chair.

Zhang Chu pondered for a while and asked, "Fengyun Tower, is there any latest news on the sand pirates?"

When the mule heard this, he asked in surprise, "How could the fifth master have something to do with the sand pirates?"

He guessed Liu Wu's matter, it may not be simple.

Otherwise, the eldest brother would not have called him here.

But he didn't guess that Liu Wu could have something to do with a force of the level of the Sand Pirates.

Zhang Chu sighed and said softly: "The thirteenth of the sand pirates kidnapped his two precious sons...... The fifth master has been strong all his life, and in the end, it was for these two sons that he gave birth to the idea of having a peaceful birthday, if those two little guys are gone, he probably won't be able to live. ”

"But we have a grudge against the sand pirates!"

The mule frowned and whispered, "You mean, snatching people from the sand pirates?"

Zhang Chu nodded: "There is only this way, the Tianxing Alliance is estimated to be able to suppress the sand pirates, but we don't deal with the Tianxing Alliance, please ask the Tianxing Alliance to come forward to do this kind of thing, if you are not careful, you will still die." ”

The mule understood what he meant.

He thought about it for a while and said, "Eight days ago, Wang Zhen gathered three thousand sand thieves and slaughtered a small country in the middle of the sand sea called 'Yuewan', plundering a large number of gold and silver treasures. ”

"Fengyunlou received the news three days ago, at the speed of the sand pirates, Wang Zhenyi should have dealt with the aftermath of the 'Yuewan' battle, as for whether he returned to Xiliangzhou...... You give me three days, and I will mobilize people to find out Wang Zhenyi's traces. ”

Zhang Chu hesitated slightly, but slowly shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late, the sand pirates gave the fifth master seven days to sell the property and raise money to ransom those two little guys, he rushed to Taiping Pass from the starry night of Changhe Mansion, and it took three days to ......"

"Changhe Mansion?"

The mule instantly grasped the point: "Isn't that the uncle's territory?"

Zhang Chu understood the meaning of his words, but he still shook his head and said: "At the beginning, my senior brother blocked Wang Zhen one by one for me, but I am afraid that he will also evil the sand pirates, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to solve it peacefully...... I can't let my senior brother's face go out and lose it!"

The mule understood what Zhang Chu meant, thought about it, and said tentatively: "Why don't I take two secret agents and go to Xiliangzhou?"

Zhang Chu tapped his two fingers on the seat and pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, and said with a light smile: "Forget it, your mother has long been anxious to hold her eldest grandson, and now that you have been married for a month, I want to let you stay away, and your mother must not chase me with a broom, besides, Xiliangzhou is not our territory, if something happens, there will be no support...... Let's take a trip to Xiliangzhou myself!"

"Look at what you said, how dare my mother chase you with a broom!"

The mule also smiled: "But Master Chu, just a sand pirate old thirteen, you will go out in person, this is too much to give him face, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a face. ”

Zhang Chu picked up the tea bowl on the desk and took a sip, and said lightly: "I, Zhang Chu, can mix up until now, and I don't rely on others to give me face!"

After a pause, he sighed lightly and said, "There are not many old people in the west of the city back then......"

When the mule saw that he had made up his mind, he did not persuade him any more.

In his eyes, this in itself was not a big deal.

The sand pirates are horizontal.

But the Wusheng Palace is more horizontal?

Wusheng Palace died a Dharma king in Xuanbei Prefecture, and he didn't dare to blow up with his eldest brother, can he sand pirates turn the sky upside down?

"When are you going to do it? I'll send two spies with you. ”

Zhang Chu groaned slightly, and said: "No need, it's enough for Yunhong's team to follow me, you first hand over a message to Lao Huang in Xiliangzhou, tell him the matter clearly, let him stand in front of him, and when I arrive, I will start robbing people!"

As early as the chaos in Shangyuan County, the tentacles of Fengyunlou had already reached into Xiliangzhou, and it was really Wu Qianyuan's former personal guard and intelligence leader Lao Huang who went to Xiliangzhou to sit down.

The mule nodded, "Yes, I'll release the pigeon when I go down!"

Zhang Chu reviewed it and felt that there was nothing missing, before he said: "Block the news of my departure, don't let Xie Junxing and Shi Yihao's people know, and Wu Qianyuan's side, you also pay attention to it for me, in case there is any change in his condition, notify me immediately, and I will rush back with all my might." ”

Mule: "Don't worry, I'll help you watch at home, there will be no chaos!"

"Of course I'm relieved that you're doing things. ”

Zhang Chu got up: "Let's go, come with me to pick up Wu Qianyuan, you also send someone to inform the family, where to eat fish at night, don't go home to eat." ”

The mule got up and said with a smile: "Don't be informed, my mother must know that I went to your house when she saw that I didn't go back......

"Don't tell your daughter-in-law?"

"What do you do to tell her about the old man?"

"People are also sensible young ladies, you can't treat them as a simple woman who doesn't know anything......"

"Gotta have it, Master Chu, I'm such a big person, just leave me alone for this little thing, right?"

"Even if you live to be a hundred years old, you will still be my brother!"

"In terms of age, you're not as old as me, are you?"

"Yo he, you have a good temper, give you a chance, whatever weapon you use, as long as you can win one hand with me, I will admit that you are bigger than me!"

"That can't be, I'm your close, can I do it with you?"

"Didn't you just say that you were older than me?"

"That's ...... you listened to the fork"

The two brothers joked and walked all the way out of the general altar of the Beiping League.

......

On this day, the dinner party in Zhang's Mansion was very lively.

Zhang Chu's family of seven, plus Liang Yuanchang, Wu Qianyuan, Liu Wu, and mules, gathered around a large round table lively.

In the center of the round table, there are two large white fish, one stewed and the other braised with aroma.

In addition, there are a variety of meat dishes, cold dishes, and hot soups.

The laughter of the adults contrasts with the immature laughter of the little Jintian silver bells scurrying all over the ground.

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Chu pretended to be joking and said to Liang Yuanchang: "Senior brother, I remember Changhe Mansion, it should be your territory, why did I recently receive news that the people of the Sand Pirates have put their hands into Changhe Mansion?"

When the words fell, Liu Wu, who was eating at the table, couldn't help but glance at Zhang Chu, but lowered his head to eat the fish and didn't dare to raise it again.

At this table, he was extremely stressed.

Liang Yuanchang and Wu Qianyuan drank a glass of wine, raised their heads and drank it, and then said slowly: "Changhe Mansion is not my territory, it is my cage, and it is not unusual for people from the sand pirates to reach into Changhe Mansion." ”

"That's fresh!"

Zhang Chu came, put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is it possible to grow into the River Mansion, and there is also the Flying Heaven Grandmaster?"

Liang Yuan looked at him in surprise: "What kind of person is the Flying Heaven Grandmaster, why does he live in a mere Changhe Mansion?"

Zhang Chu: "Then with your martial arts, who can suppress you?"

Liang Yuanchang's martial arts, although they are not invincible under the sky, are not far away!

Anyway, among the four products that Zhang Chu has seen, one is considered one, and none of them dare to say that they can beat Liang Yuanchang.

Liang Yuanchang was silent for a while, and said: "Yunxiao Restaurant is the property of my adoptive parents, and I will not kill people in Yunxiao Restaurant, so only when I am in Yunxiao Restaurant, others will rest assured of me." ”

"Senior brother is mighty!"

Wu Qianyuan smiled and picked up the teacup in front of him, and said, "I'll replace the wine with tea and toast you." ”

He ate very little, after a dinner, he drank a small bowl of white porridge and ate a few green vegetables, but he was the happiest one at the banquet, hugging Xiao Taiping for a while, teasing Xiao Jintian for a while, and being happy to everyone, like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Let's drink water!"

Liang Yuanchang looked at him: "You also drank a lot of tea tonight, and you should not be able to eat it if you drink it again." ”

"Ha! It's really not a family, don't enter the door, one of your brothers and sisters is in charge of me drinking, and the other is in charge of me drinking tea, haha... Ahem......"

Wu Qianyuan seemed to have encountered a very happy thing, but as soon as his laughter came out, he was interrupted by a rapid cough.

He hurriedly put down the teacup and picked up a sweat towel from the table to cover his mouth.

He coughed so hard.

The tendons at the corners of the forehead are like fat earthworms.

It's like coughing up the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Everyone at the table stopped their chopsticks and looked at him quietly, their eyes full of sadness...... How can such a good person not live long?

Zhang Chu, who was sitting next to Wu Qianyuan, hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and the other hand slowly followed his vest, and a trace of golden light leaked from his palm, which merged into his body little by little.

After a while, he finally came to his senses, squeezed the sweat towel in his hand tightly, stuffed it into his sleeve, and smiled weakly: "Let everyone laugh." ”

Everyone wanted to laugh, but the smiles on their faces were so reluctant.

"Little lady, why does the uncle cough? Does he kick the quilt at night?"

The immature children's voice broke the silence of the banquet, but it was Li Jintian who held the edge of the round table, looked at Wu Qianyuan with a small face, and asked Li Youniang in a milky voice.

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly relaxed, and the smiles on everyone's faces were not so reluctant.

Wu Qianyuan smiled and said gently: "Yes, the uncle just kicked the quilt and coughed, so Xiao Jintian, don't be like the uncle, you must sleep well, eat well, and grow up well......"

The eyes of the three women on the table were moistened with tears at once.

Little Komten will grow up one day.

But Wu Qianyuan couldn't see it......

That night, after Zhang Chu sent Wu Qianyuan back to his home, he went back to Zhang's house and sat in meditation all night.

Before dawn the next day, he led Da Liu and Liu Wu to leave Taiping Pass from the back mountain of Goutou Mountain, and Hongyun and her 100 elite spies had left Taiping Pass in batches yesterday afternoon and were waiting for them outside Wuqu County.

After Zhang Chu and Hongyun converged, they put on their cloaks and rushed to Xiliangzhou together.

......

At noon on the second day, Zhang Chu and his party finally set foot on the land of Xiliangzhou.

This is the first time that Zhang Chu has set foot outside Xuanbei Prefecture after crossing over to Dali.

Xiliang Prefecture is very different from Xuanbei Prefecture.

The climate of Xuanbei Prefecture is dry and cold, but the rain is abundant, and the land is extremely fertile......

The climate of Xiliangzhou is dry, not only is there a serious lack of rain, but the land is also very barren, and the yellow soil, when you pinch it lightly in your hand, it will become sand and drain from your fingers.

The two states are very close in terms of topography, and they are both more plains and less hills.

The difference is that the plains of Xuanbei Prefecture are grasslands, and you can see lush and tall forests everywhere.

The plains of Xiliangzhou are wastelands, full of bare yellow earth, not to mention forests, the trees are sparse, and they all look malnourished.

Even the population is very different.

Xuanbei Prefecture is a big detached person with black hair and yellow skin, and there are almost no other races.

Most of the people in Xiliangzhou are black-haired and yellow-skinned, but in addition, there are a large number of sandmen with deep eye sockets, gray skin, and curled beards!

Some of these sand men are farming, grazing, and more are leading camels and walking the streets and alleys to do business.

And the people of Xiliangzhou are accustomed to these sand people and turn a blind eye.

In the two neighboring states, the customs and customs have changed so much, even Zhang Chu, a traverser with the soul of a global village, has a feeling of eye-opening, not to mention the pure natives such as Da Liu and Hongyun.

Along the way, several times when the sandmen came to sell their goods to Zhang Chu, Da Liu almost couldn't help but draw his knife...... He subconsciously felt that all people other than black-haired and yellow-skinned people were not good people!

The group hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at Changhe Mansion on the sixth day.

Zhang Chu and Liu Wu broke up outside the city.

Liu Wu went back to his residence, after all, he can be regarded as an old Jianghu, although he himself went to Taiping Pass to ask for help, but his subordinates have been selling their properties to raise money in the past few days, so as to confuse the sand pirates.

And Zhang Chu, under the leadership of Hongyun, searched for the secret mark and went to Fengyun Tower's stronghold in Changhe Mansion.
