On October 15, the water official relieved the misfortune and went down to the Yuan Festival.

A light rain drifted through the early morning mist.

Zhang Chu held a carp painted oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a cloud-stunning knife in the other, strolling on the wet long street of Taibai Mansion, wearing a bright Shengxue white coat, as if it was the only color on the gray old long street.

Da Liu followed behind his gang leader with a knife, his eagle-like eyes vigilantly observing every pedestrian on the street.

"Helper, it looks like someone is following us. ”

He said in a low voice.

Zhang Chu didn't look back, just said "um" lightly, and said lightly: "It's someone from the government, don't pay attention to it." ”

Da Liu replied in a low voice: "Yes, helper." ”

From time to time, the two of them sat in the tea house on the side of the road to drink a bowl of hot tea, listen to a commentary, and stop at the canal from time to time to watch a group of children with pigtails putting leaves on the boat.

Near noon, Niu Thirteen, the rudder of the Taibai Mansion of the newly promoted Taiping Society, hurriedly trotted to the end: "Helper, General Ji has entered the city, please move to the Lotus Tower." ”

"Get up. ”

Zhang Chu stretched out his hand to help him up, and patted him on the sturdy shoulder with a smile: "Good guy, I haven't seen him for two months, and my martial arts have improved again, and my practice is about to end?"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's coming, at the latest at the beginning of next month, I'll be able to turn around!"

Niu Thirteen grinned, obviously smiling very innocently, but a hideous scar from the corner of his eye to his jaw made him look extremely vicious.

Zhang Chu remembered that this scar was left by this guy who was stabbed for his eldest brother in the defense of Jintian Mansion in the past.

His eldest brother is Li Zheng.

"Ambitious!"

Zhang Chu hammered his chest: "Sanchuan Hall has a few secret methods to help the Eight Grades practice the marrow, have you changed it?"

Niu 13 scratched his head: "No, I'm thinking about it, it's probably useless to use the secret method of labor, it's better to save credit and exchange a few more decoctions." ”

When Zhang Chu heard this, his backhand was a slap on the back of this guy's head, making him stagger, "Who told me that it was useless? ”

Familiar strength, familiar pain.

The honest man who is eight feet tall suddenly turned red.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at his own helper: "Hey, I listen to you, and I'll change it when I have enough merits." “

Zhang Chu didn't notice the change in his expression, and said softly: "By the way, the county government has sent a message?"

Niu 13: "No." ”

Zhang Chu groaned slightly, and said, "Send a post to the county lieutenant for me, and invite him to a banquet tonight." ”

Niu 13: "Yes, helper." ”

......

"Squeak. ”

As soon as the door of the private room opened, Zhang Chu saw Ji Ba sitting on the main seat by the window, carrying a teapot and a cow drink.

This guy was covered in dust and had a weathered face, and he had obviously traveled a long way one after another.

Seeing him enter the door, Ji Ba angrily smashed the teapot on the table and complained: "It's not easy to see you!"

Zhang Chu also pouted angrily, and said, "It's not the right time for you to come, do you know how much risk I took to meet you?"

After Zhang Chu said this, Ji Ba remembered the purpose of his trip, scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Look at our memory, we have forgotten that you are in trouble now...... We're here to deliver you this time!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Chu stepped forward and pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked curiously, "What letter?"

Ji Ba didn't sell Guan Zi either, and opened his mouth to ask: "What you provoked this time is the Heavenly Sword Gate, right?

Zhang Chu nodded: "Yes, is there any problem?"

"That's a big problem!"

Ji Ba waved his hand exaggeratedly: "Do you know that Wanjiangliu has already achieved the Great Perfection of the Four Grades, and it is only one foot away from achieving the realm of the Grandmaster?"

Zhang Chu was suddenly startled when he heard this.

The realm of the Grandmaster?

I don't read much, don't lie to me!

The special four products have already made him anxious!

Master?

If Wan Jiangliu is really about to become a grandmaster, then what kind of strength do you have? Running away as soon as possible is the right reason!

For a moment, his face turned pale: "Where did you get the news?"

Ji Ba shook his head: "Don't ask about this, we promised the senior in the army, we can't reveal his identity, we can only tell you that when the Wan's Heavenly Sword Sect dominates the rivers and lakes of the four southern counties, it will be the day when Wan Jiangliu will achieve the Grandmaster Realm!"

When the four southern counties were unified?

The day you achieved the Grandmaster Realm?

Big brother, your thinking logic is very problematic!

Zhang Chu's heart that had just been hung up slowly put back into his chest.

He didn't ask in a hurry, and as soon as he clapped his hands, Da Liu, who was outside the door, immediately arranged to serve the food.

Hot eight plates.

Cool eight plates.

Roast chicken, roast duck, braised pork, sweet and sour fish......

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, you name it.

"Goo. “

Ji Ba swallowed heavily.

He has lived in the army for a long time, and although there is no shortage of wine and meat, how can the meals cooked by the chef of the restaurant be delicious after the meals that have been rectified by the hairy fire head army?

Even Zhang Chu, looking at this dish full of color and fragrance, felt that his tongue was full of flavor.

He is already very good at appetite, and when he is at home, although he is not full of big fish and meat, even if it is a small dish, it must be very finely prepared.

And this time, when I went out, I couldn't bring the kitchen with me because of the secret, so I could only eat the food that Da Liu made...... Da Liu is a rough man who dances with knives and guns, and the food he gets out of eating must be edible, but it definitely has nothing to do with deliciousness.

"Eat and talk!"

Zhang Chu beckoned Ji to pull out his chopsticks.

The two of them have carried guns together, and they are not so polite and exquisite, and one person picks up half a chicken and duck with chopsticks and gnaws it.

"You just said that when the Wan Clan Heavenly Sword Sect unified the rivers and lakes of the four southern counties, it was the day when Wan Jiangliu achieved the Grandmaster Realm, what did you mean?"

Zhang Chu tore a chicken leg and asked.

Ji Ba twisted the neck of a roast duck with his bare hands, stuffed it into the blood basin and gnawed on it: "We don't know too well, I heard that the fourth-grade master is promoted to the third-grade grandmaster, which is different from the seventh-grade wrestler and the sixth-grade master......"

Zhang Chu was aroused by him, put down the chicken leg and asked: "Don't patronize and eat, let's talk about it, the fourth grade is promoted to the third grade, and the seventh grade is promoted to the sixth grade, how is it different?"

"Four products and three products, you need to rely on external forces!"

When Zhang Chu heard this, he felt as if something was wrong, thought about it, and said, "Isn't it?

As far as he was thinking, half a roast duck had already entered Ji Ba's stomach, and there were not even a few bones left.

He reached out and grabbed the remaining half of the roast duck and tore it out: "It's different, as long as the accumulation of seven grades and six grades is enough, it can break through the realm without the help of strange seeds, and the four grades and three grades, without the help of external forces, it is difficult to break the realm...... And this external force is not quite the same as that of a strange species!"

The more Zhang Chu listened, the more confused he became, and simply hit the claws of this guy on the roast duck: "Don't eat it, let's make it clear first, after speaking, I'll tie up the roast duck master and send it to the front army, you can eat as many roast ducks as you want!"

"Didn't you talk while eating?"

Ji Ba was enjoying eating, and he couldn't even grasp the roast duck with a chopstick, so he could only pat Zhang Chu's chopsticks angrily...... If he hadn't estimated that he might not be able to beat Zhang Chu, he really wanted to drag this guy out and beat him ten times!
