In fact, at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Zilai was invited by Sima Qin.

Zhang Zilai wanted to attend, but because of his identity, he still asked Taishou to let him hide in the shadows and observe every move in the banquet hall.

When Li Tianhua returned to the courtyard, he felt the breath of Zhang Zilai.

The young man's Gengzi sword technique can greatly improve his perception ability, and Zhang Zilai suffered a heavy blow, but he did not deliberately hide his own aura.

In this way, it is not surprising that the teenager was able to perceive Zhang Zilai's existence.

Is it an assassin? No way. Sima Qin and Sima Wenxin, father and daughter, have both returned to their respective courtyards. As for whether it was for other people, of course the boy didn't care.

"It should be a guard." Li Tianhua didn't think much about it, and walked straight to his other courtyard.

Zhang Zilai naturally knew that the boy had discovered himself.

He looked at the young man's back and couldn't laugh or cry. It seems that his cultivation has really been seriously damaged, and even a child can find out.

The boy returned to the other courtyard and began to fall asleep as soon as he turned his head.

Fang was pulled by Sima Qin to drink five cups of peach blossom brew in a row, although he was not unconscious, but he was already exhausted.

A few glasses of wine is indeed a bit more than a teenager. If it weren't for the teenager forcing some of the alcohol out of his body, he would probably have to be seriously ill like last time.

The boy slept for eight hours. When he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the first day of the first lunar month.

He came to Sima Qin's other courtyard, intending to pay a New Year's greeting to Sima Qin.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the person in charge told him that Sima Qin had gone to the state capital early in the morning.

After all, Sima Qin has a second-grade realm, even if he drinks more than a dozen glasses of wine, consuming the wine is a matter of sleep.

However, Sima Qin is really busy, and he has to go to the state capital on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

In the evening, Sima Qin finally returned.

It's just that as soon as he came back, he frowned and went straight to Li Tianhua's courtyard.

"Uncle Qin, what's the matter?" Li Tianhua was walking around the corner, and when he saw Sima Qin coming, he asked.

"Tianhua, someone found a pair of armor with vines wrapped around his body in Tianheng Mountain. That armor was very strange, and I sent seven or eight strong men to carry it, but they couldn't move it.

I figured if you could accompany me tomorrow to investigate, if you had time. You're well-informed, and you probably know what you'll find. ”

Oh my God, Sima Qin actually said that Li Tianhua was well-informed, which even the young man himself didn't believe.

However, the young man didn't have any worries, he thought of Shennong in his divine consciousness. This is the one who is truly well-informed and knowledgeable.

So, the boy agreed, and said, "Okay, Uncle Qin." ”

"Okay, then we'll see you at the gate of the house tomorrow morning." After Sima Qin finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Early the next morning, Li Tianhua arrived at the gate of Sima's Mansion.

Sima's Mansion is very large, and just walking from his own courtyard to the gate of the mansion takes a young man a full quarter of an hour.

Sima Qin and the other ten or twenty people were already waiting here.

Among the ten or twenty people, there are a few second-grade realm masters in the rivers and lakes, a few experienced old scholars, and several strong men who are responsible for carrying armor.

Among these people, Li Tianhua found a familiar aura. So, he looked at the strong man in the crowd.

The boy remembered that this was the person lurking in the shadows on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although Zhang Zilai has changed his appearance, with his severely damaged cultivation, he is currently unable to disguise his aura.

He was unexpectedly recognized again, Zhang Zilai smiled bitterly. He looked at the boy, an embarrassed look written on his face.

Sima Qin saw Li Tianhua staring at Zhang Zi, and seemed to understand what was going on.

He took the young man's hand, walked up to Zhang Zilai, and said, "Tianhua, this is your Uncle Zhang." In the future, he will be your personal bodyguard. ”

Li Tianhua finally let down his guard, arched his hand at Zhang Zilai and said, "My nephew has seen Uncle Zhang." ”

Zhang Zilai let out a "hmm" and looked at the young man carefully.

"This kid really looks like his father." Zhang Zilai touched his face and let out such an emotion.

He felt very depressed, he really had to be a guard for a child.

But Zhang Zilai thought about it, it didn't seem to be a shame to be a bodyguard for that guy's son. So, he gladly accepted.

When everyone arrived, Sima Qin waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

In this way, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, a day when the lights of the reunion of thousands of families were bright, Li Tianhua and his party embarked on the road to Tianheng Mountain.

On the way, Zhang Zilai has been scanning the boy with his eyes.

He didn't understand how the kid in front of him found out that he hadn't even reached the third grade in cultivation.

The young man seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I practice the Gengzi Sword Technique, and my perception is relatively keen, plus you have never concealed your breath, I can naturally find Uncle Zhang." ”

Zhang Zilai was seen through by the young man, and he had to smile awkwardly. is worthy of that man's son, and he even knows what he is thinking.

That's right, if it's that person's son, Gengzi's sword skills and perception can all make sense.

When there were still ten miles away from Tianheng Mountain, the brigade of carriages and horses suddenly stopped.

I saw an old beggar in the middle of the road, wearing tattered clothes and a withered shirt, standing in the middle of the road, blocking the frame of Sima Qin and the others.

Hearing the noisy discussion in front, Sima Qin and his party stepped out of the carriage one after another.

"My lord, there's an old beggar in front of you." A guard report of the cultivation of the second grade Yi Festival realm.

Sima Qin frowned and looked at the old beggar in front of him. He didn't feel any martial arts aura on the old beggar's body at all.

"Is there a problem?" Sima Qin asked the guard.

The guard shook his head: "No, everything is normal. ”

Sima Qin looked at Zhang Zilai again: "What does Brother Zhang think?" ”

Zhang Zilai also shook his head: "Zhang also thinks there is no problem. ”

Sima Qin slowly approached the old beggar and said, "Old man, we are going to Tianheng Mountain, can you please let me?" ”

"You guys go to Tianheng Mountain? It just so happens that I also go to Tianheng Mountain. But I can't walk this old bone, can I bother you to take me? The old beggar was pleasantly surprised.

Sima Qin thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

With the support of Sima Qin, the old beggar slowly walked towards Li Tianhua and the others.

"Huh?" As the old beggar got closer and closer, Shennong's voice sounded in the young man's mind.

The boy asked, "What?" ”

"It's okay, I'll tell you now, you don't understand. Then you will understand. Shennong smiled lightly.

Li Tianhua turned his gaze to the old beggar, only to see that the old beggar also looked at him.

The old beggar's cloudy gaze became slightly clearer, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Sima Qin and his party continued to move forward, and finally arrived at Tianheng Mountain half an hour later.
