Chapter 266: Strange

What else could Fan Yongxin say, he could only let go. And Long Zhan is bitter and can't say it, and I want to ask, are you drugged in it?

You have to give it to me. Meng Wanlin brought it over, pushed it directly into his hand, and asked, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Can "I ......" Dragon Battle refuse? He really didn't know how to refuse. And he also discovered that he always had a way to deal with other people, but for some reason, he had no way to deal with Meng Wanlin.

Hard, hard, soft, no rut. And this girl seems to have grasped his weakness and knows how to pinch him.

He really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Hey." Long Zhan sighed, took the bowl as if resigned to his fate, and then slowly picked up the chopsticks and stirred them in the bowl, which was really sticky.

After stirring vigorously a few times, I got a little bit and put it in my mouth. Both of them watched, and Meng Wanlin asked, "How is it?" Long Zhan said: "Hey, I really didn't expect it, it doesn't look good, it's okay to eat." Quick, go get me Brother Fan a bowl and let him taste it too." ”

"Really?" Meng Wanlin was a little surprised, she thought it would be difficult to eat, but she didn't expect Long Zhan to praise it.

He immediately said, "Wait, I'll go and give it to him." After she left, Fan Yongxin asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhan, is this black thing really delicious?" ”

"Don't ask, hurry up." Long Zhan didn't say a word, pulled Fan Yongxin and ran outside the house, and the bowl of paste-like things called noodles was easily thrown by Long Zhan into the foot of the wall next to him.

After they left, Meng Wanlin came out with a bowl of black things, and looked at the courtyard, where were there still people.

She was so angry that she stomped her foot hard, and her resentment towards Long Zhan was even greater. Long Zhan, who went out, came to the street, found a random breakfast shop, and got something to eat, although the taste was not as good as half of the door, but he felt that it was better than Meng Wanlin's.

The thing that Meng Wanlin cooked, Long Zhan's scalp is numb when he thinks about it now, not to mention a burnt smell, the key is that it is very sloppy, and there are many soy sauce thieves...... Maybe it was because she heard that dishes made with refined salt tasted better, so she added a lot of salt.

Long Zhan has a hard time, and when he went back tonight, he didn't know how to deal with her.

"Brother Zhan, there's something I want to ask you." Fan Yongxin spoke with some hesitation.

"What's the matter?" Long Zhan replied casually, still thinking about how to deal with Meng Wanlin in his mind.

"My dad wants to know where you got your 10 million." Afraid of saying the wrong thing, Fan Yongxin immediately said: "My father never said that you didn't mean to make money, he was just curious to ask." ”

"It's okay, it's actually nothing, it's just ......" Long Zhan simply said the matter, there was nothing to hide.

The reason why I didn't say it before was because Fan Yongxin's personality was too reckless, and he was afraid that after he found out, he would accidentally expose his bottom.

It doesn't matter now, the matter is a foregone conclusion, Long Yushu lost his wife and broke his army, he can't say anything about his suffering, as long as he doesn't let him find evidence, there is nothing to fear.

After Fan Yongxin listened, he suddenly said,

"So that's the case, that Long Yushu can't be angry with you. He's going to come to settle accounts with you. Long Zhan nodded, but said indifferently: "It's okay, if he really comes to me for revenge, he may not do it." Moreover, even if I do it, I may not be afraid of him. Fan Yongxin seemed to think of something,

"Brother Zhan, your cultivation is ......" Long Zhan stretched out his right hand and held it on Fan Yongxin's wrist, and with a slight force, Fan Yongxin immediately withdrew his hand, almost crying out in pain.

Long Zhan smiled: "Don't tell anyone else, I don't want people to know about it yet." ”

"Hmm." Fan Yongxin showed a look of joy, he no longer had to worry about Brother Zhan. Just by the catch of Brother Zhan just now, it is enough to prove that Brother Zhan'er's strength is above him, a lot.

While the two were talking, a carriage suddenly stopped on the side of the road. The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a crowned jade face, it was Zhang Ling,

"Come up and talk." Long Zhan stretched out a finger and pointed at himself,

"Are you talking to me?" The white-faced young man, who was handsome and not much inferior to a woman, frowned slightly, then closed the curtain and stopped showing up.

The carriage stopped there, and the people inside did not speak, and he did not dare to go. Long Zhan looked at Fan Yongxin next to him, stretched out his thumb and pointed to the carriage behind,

"What do you mean?" Fan Yongxin showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled: "He should be looking for you for something, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to look for you." Long Zhan recalled, but it was so, and asked in a sly voice, "You said that if I don't go, what will he think?" Fan Yongxin raised his face, which already showed some signs of being a rough man, thought for two seconds, and said with a smile: "Then he will definitely be very angry, but he will never say anything about you behind your back." Long Zhan nodded, turned his head to look at the carriage,

"This man does have the style of a gentleman, but, this gentleman, what are you looking for me? I remember this one didn't want to deal with us too much. Fan Yongxin shook his head,

"I don't know, but 'nothing to do to go to the Three Treasures Palace', for the gentleman and the villain, it's the same reason." Long Zhan tilted his head, squinted at the tall man, and said in surprise: "Yo, my Yongxin brother will also say this kind of thing." Fan Yongxin scratched his head, a little embarrassed,

"After a few laps in the business field, you should always make some progress." Long Zhan smiled in understanding. Fan Yongxin asked again, "Aren't you going up?" The gentleman may have been sulking. Long Zhan stood up and flicked his sleeves,

"Okay, then let's go to the meeting." Fan Yongxin saw it, but he didn't plan to go up, the key was that he didn't invite it. Jumping into the carriage and lifting the curtain to see, Zhang Ling was really sulking, his face was calm, and his eyes were like a sharp sword staring at the person in front of him who had made him wait for so long to get on the car.

Long Zhan didn't care, he got in and sat down next to him, looked around at the decoration inside, and couldn't help but admire: "It is worthy of the carriage of the Great Shi family, it is luxurious, and this cushion alone is softer than ours." Zhang Ling didn't say anything, looked ahead with his eyes, and ordered, "Uncle Dong, you can go." The carriage departed, creaking on.

Seeing that this person didn't care about himself, Long Zhan was no longer in the mood to chat, so he changed his serious face and asked, "I don't know what Gongzi Zhang is looking for me?" Zhang Ling's eyes were always looking straight ahead, unwilling to look at Long Zhan more.

"You'll know when you get there." Seeing his attitude, Long Zhan immediately snorted coldly and shouted outside: "Stop!" The carriage really stopped, and as soon as Long Zhan lifted the curtain, he was about to leave.

Zhang Ling was shocked and asked, "Where are you going?" Long Zhan replied: "Where else can I go, of course I have to go home." Zhang Ling said: "No, I still have something to say." Long Zhan snorted coldly: "It's you who has something, it's not me who has it, it's my business." ”

"You ......" Zhang Ling was annoyed, his white jade-like face instantly turned red, and he stared at Long Zhan and was speechless.

Long Zhan sneered,

"Hmph, come to ask Lao Tzu to do something, and dare to be so spirited, the son of the family is used to it? Throwing your face in front of Lao Tzu, what the hell do you think you are a noble thing? Pretentious stuff! With that, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

However, the curtain of the car opened, but there was a person sitting outside, blocking the way, it was the groom, whose real identity was the housekeeper of the Zhang family, and even Zhang Ling and Zhang Ningyun, the two siblings, had to call Uncle Dong on weekdays.

The groom looked at Long Zhan, and his face was not good-looking. As the so-called lord humiliates his ministers to death, Long Zhan scolded Zhang Ling in front of him, can he feel better?

Long Zhan had a premonition that something was wrong, and a force that came and went was moving closer to him. But he was not false, he turned his head to Zhang Ling and said, "What? Zhang Gongzi is going to send your dog to bite me? Zhang Ling's face was even more gloomy, his fists were clenched, and he couldn't help but scold.

But fortunately, after so many years of cultivation, the gentleman's spirit is there, and he has endured it. He waved his hand,

"Uncle Dong, step aside." The groom immediately gathered all his breath and turned to continue driving. Now that the purpose of suppression has been achieved, Long Zhan also retreated into the carriage, his expression was even more vigorous than Zhang Ling, and said: "Talk to me in the future, don't drag it like 2580000 in front of me, and Lao Tzu doesn't owe you money." Besides, you fucking want to be an official or not, you have to cultivate or not, and you have to learn...... That's it, what do you have to drag. If it weren't for your grandfather's kindness back then, you would have been killed 800 times with your dog temper, and you would still be shaking your face with Lao Tzu here. I'm used to you ......" Zhang Ling clenched his fists on his knees, his cheeks tightened, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth,

"If you want to say it, just say it, don't always fuck you, don't talk so rudely, okay?" Seeing that this man's eyes were about to burst into flames, Long Zhan was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Zhang Gongzi, I am a rough person, a disciple of the market, and my speech is like this, how can I be like you who are readers, who are full of mouths, courtesy, righteousness and shame?" Zhang Ling snorted coldly, turned his face to the other side of the carriage, and replied after a long time,

"I really don't get along with you." Long Zhan leaned back with both hands on the back of his head, his feet directly on the cushion opposite, and put on a lazy posture.

"If you don't get along, don't get along, and no one sparsely softens you." After that, neither of them spoke, and one closed his eyes and calmed down along the way; One tossed and turned, moving back and forth.

After a long time, the carriage crossed the Anding Bridge, entered the inner city, and traveled for another quarter and a quarter of an hour before stopping.

After getting out of the carriage, Long Zhan saw the houses on the left and right, and his mood was complicated. The inner city is no better than the outer city, and the people who live in the inner city are either rich or noble, and there are many families.

As a result, most of the houses here are magnificent, splendid and chic, which is rarely seen in the outer city.

In addition, there is a very important point, that is, the construction of the house is regulated, how high the courtyard wall can be built, how big the house can be built, and even the height of the rockery in the yard have clear regulations, not that you can repair it casually if you have money, it must be based on your identity.

is like the Fan family, obviously a wealthy businessman, but the height of the rockery in the courtyard will never exceed one floor, and the width and height of the gate must not be compared to the adults in the county government, otherwise it will be regarded as contempt for the majesty of the court and will be punished.

Of course, there are exceptions. That is the Falling Dust Family, and the Falling Dust Family often does not need to comply with these because of their special status and status.

Of course, you can't just do nonsense, for example, if you directly set aside a piece of land and build a palace that is more magnificent than the imperial palace, then you can't talk about it.

The Long family lives in the south of the city, occupies a huge area, and is connected to the mountain, just to say that its style and luxury are unmatched by any family in Sioux City.

However, the gate of the Long family's mansion will not be bigger than the city lord's mansion, this is the rule. Zhang Ling's house is on the right side of the street, and it is also a luxurious mansion.

Zhang Ling's grandfather was the prime minister, although he had to return to his hometown later, but the foundation he left in the court back then is still there.

Nowadays, many officials in the imperial court are disciples of the old prime minister, and many of them are still in high positions. Therefore, although the old prime minister is not in the court, he can still affect the situation in the court.

Zhang Ling endured all the way, and finally got out of the car, and couldn't help but take a long breath, but after seeing Long Zhan's eyes, he immediately held back and continued to maintain the noble posture that he should have as a scholar.

Long Zhan felt that this guy was really underbeaten, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this guy's fault was actually somewhat similar to Meng Wanlin.

In front of outsiders, they try their best to maintain their own image, not casual at all, and even suppress joys, sorrows, and sorrows as much as possible.

Long Zhan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, it just didn't suit him very well. He still likes the wanton kind, laughing when he wants to laugh, crying when he wants to cry, he doesn't have to care about other people's opinions, as long as he doesn't influence others too much.

The two entered the mansion, walked along a crooked road for a long time, and finally came to the door of a courtyard, Zhang Ling said, "Okay, you can go in." Long Zhan looked at him in surprise,

"You're not going in?" Zhang Ling shook his head,

"It's not that I want to see you, it's my sister, he's waiting for you inside." Long Zhan probably understood, nodded, and strode in.

Zhang Ling stood outside the door and looked at the back for a while before leaving, the gloom on his brows was still left.

It is engraved on the courtyard

The three words "Purple Smoke Forest", Long Zhan didn't pay much attention to it, and walked in directly. When you enter the yard, the first thing that catches your eye is a jungle of flowers and plants, although it is winter, the flowers and plants in this yard grow luxuriantly, which is really strange.

Walking into the flower path, purple smoke gradually rises on the side of the road, accompanied by fragrance, which makes people feel like falling into a fairyland.

Long Zhan couldn't help but stop and watch, looking left and right, it was really amazing. He can be regarded as having seen the world, and he has seen a lot of strange flowers and plants when he was in the Dragon Mansion, but compared to the scene in front of him, it is nothing.

He walked for a while, and finally walked out of the flower path, and then came to a rockery. He looked left and right, and suddenly felt strange, there was not even a servant around, and it was really strange that he had been in the courtyard for so long, and no one had come to receive him.

He looked around, then at the rockery in front of him, and without thinking too much, he continued to move forward. This yard is very large, and it is a garden style, the road is curved and quiet, and the surrounding scenery is elegant, if you come to play and watch, it is a good place; If he's looking for someone, he's really in the wrong place.

After walking along a deep path for a while, another rockery appeared in front of me. Long Zhan stopped, then looked back behind him, deep in thought.

"If I'm not mistaken, I should have walked through this rockery, how did I come here again?" He strode forward, waited for it to get closer, and looked up and down the rockery.

"I'm not mistaken, I've been here before." He looked back at the deep path, and then at the flower path on the right, and the lotus pond path on the left...... Long Zhan's brows furrowed,

"Am I lost?" He didn't believe it and continued walking, but before leaving, he put a stone on the rockery as a marker.

After walking for a long time, about half an hour later, he saw the rockery again.

"Hey, come around?" He walked quickly to the rockery, only to find that the stone he had placed on the rockery was gone.

There are two explanations for this, one is that his stone was taken, and the other is that this rockery only looks like the previous one, not the same rockery.

Long Zhan wasn't sure which one it was, so he could only find a way to verify it. He picked up a stone from the side again, this time not on it, but instead of painting.

He drew an X on the corner of the rockery, and then it seemed to be casual, but in fact he threw the stone out after careful consideration.

After seeing the location of the landing point and the traces left by several landing points when the stone hit the ground, he left. …… A dark room.

Zhang Ningyun was wearing a purple flowing cloud robe, with a green phoenix hairpin on his head, a plum blossom and white jade buckle on his waist, lying on the couch barefoot, supporting him with one hand, looking at the pool in front of him very lazily.

There was an ice formation on the surface of the pool, and it was cold, and on that ice, there was a clear projection of the scene, which was exactly what the dragon was fighting outside.

She looked at Long Zhan's every move, and her expression was playful. I saw Long Zhan put a stone on the rockery again, and I thought it was even more interesting.

She sat up, her hands sealed. The left hand is yang, holding the heavenly stem seal, and the right hand is yin, holding the earth and supporting the seal, which is diametrically opposed to the previous rules of left yin and right yang.

She crossed her hands and recited the mantra in her heart,

"Jia Chouchen Wu Wu Ren Jia Zi Chou Binghai." Her ten slender jade hands flickered and changed rapidly, forming a variety of gestures, and purple aura flowed and flew between her fingers, like a bee butterfly surrounding a flower.

"Ice Technique: Shadow of Cold Smoke." I saw that she finished sealing, clasped her hands together, and patted it gently. Syllable! As the voice fell, a person who looked exactly like her suddenly appeared on the pool.

It's just that the person looks illusory and unreal, and the sunlight coming in from the window can still penetrate her body, and she is really like a wisp of purple smoke.

The phantom walked barefoot, stepping across the pool and slowly walking outside the house. She didn't open the door and go out, but went straight through the wall.

The phantom came outside, looked at the sky outside, the sun was a little dazzling, she stretched out a hand to block the above eye, looked around, found the direction, and went straight forward, meeting the water and passing through the wall...... After walking for a while, I saw Long Zhan coming, and the two happened to be on a bridge over the lotus pond

"Encounter". Long Zhan couldn't see her, and went directly through her body, only to look back in a little surprise as he passed through her body.

Because, for a moment, he felt a cold breath passing through his body, and even his bones felt cold.

So, he immediately walked back again, but he could no longer feel the cold. For the phantom had passed through his body, and it had already gone away.

It's just the same, at that moment, Zhang Ningyun's body in the room trembled, and she also felt a strangeness.

It's just that unlike Dragon Battle, Dragon War is eroded by the cold and feels uncomfortable. And she felt extremely comfortable and comfortable, like the winter sun, shining on people's bodies warmly, making people want to sleep.

Zhang Ningyun felt surprised, she had also passed through a person's body in the past when she performed this technique, but she had never felt this way, even if it was another cultivator.

But just now, after fighting with the dragon, she clearly felt a warm current, like the warm sun in winter.

She furrowed her slender eyebrows slightly, and flicked the picture in the pool onto Long Zhan, and after looking at it for a long time, she didn't see anything strange about him.

"Strange." The phantom continued to move forward, and after a short time came to the vicinity of the rockery, and when he saw the stones on the rockery, he walked slowly over.

Zhang Ningyun in the room sealed again,

"Jia Chouchen Wuwu Ren Jia Zi Chou Binghai Xin Ren Zi Chou Wei Ding Hai." As her fingers quickly shifted, the phantom outside gradually became solid.

At first, sunlight could easily penetrate her body, and there was no shadow of her, but gradually, her shadow began to appear, and when stepped on the ground, it could also leave footprints.

It's just that unlike normal people, the footprints she left behind were very shallow, almost imperceptible, and even more superficial than the footprints left by cats.

After the phantom materialized, he reached out and picked up the stone and threw it away, restoring the place to its original state. After seeing Long Zhan come back again, Zhang Ningyun in the room quickly sealed again,

"Jia Chouchen Wu Wu Ren Jia Zi Chou Binghai Jia Chou." The materialization faded, and the phantom became floating again, then completely blurred, no longer visible.

She stood aside and waited for the dragon battle to arrive. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Long Zhan to come, he stopped for a while, and then picked up another stone, this time he didn't put the stone directly on the rockery, but drew an X, and then threw the stone out seemingly randomly.

Zhang Ningyun couldn't help frowning,

"This guy is really reckless, and he dares to scribble like this in other people's homes." After the dragon battle was gone, she made the previous seal again, materialized her body, and then borrowed the phantom to cast a spell.

"Ice Technique: Cold Rotation." The place where X was painted was slowly repaired, until finally there were no traces left at all.

In addition, she walked over to the stone that had been thrown by Long Zhan, picked it up, and threw it farther.

When Long Zhan threw the stone, she paid attention to Long Zhan's eyes and saw that Long Zhan looked at the landing point of this stone for a long time, so she knew that this was the second mark made by Long Zhan.

After doing this, Zhang Ningyun in the room was already drenched in sweat, her cultivation was not high now, and she could not support the random use of these spells.

Every time she uses her spiritual power, it is a great loss to her. …… Long Zhan walked around, and sure enough, he returned here unexpectedly.

Long Zhan stepped forward and looked at the rockery, the X was no longer there, he turned his head to look at the open space on the side, and the stone was gone, but he didn't give up, he approached again, squatted down and looked carefully.

Zhang Ningyun was curious, and said in her heart: "What is he looking at?" Long Zhan looked at it for a moment, then stretched out a finger and poked it at the ground, which was one of the places he hit when he threw the stone.

At this point, the imprint is good, but the stone and x are gone.

"I'm X!" Long Zhan laughed, it seemed that it was really what he thought, someone was messing with him, and the stone was taken away.

Zhang Ningyun also suddenly came to his senses, forgetting that when Long Zhan threw the stone, the stone jumped on the ground a few times, and there were traces.

But it didn't matter, she had already figured out what she wanted to know, and she was more convinced than before.

She waved her hand, and the phantom instantly dissipated, turning into a burst of cold air, returning to heaven and earth. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and changed into the clothes of a woman from the family, covered with a purple coat, with flying phoenix palace boots on her feet, a flowing cloud torn skirt, and a stand-up collar gown...... In exchange for one by one, there are no less than a dozen kinds, and there are beaded hairpin headdresses and jade buckle sachets...... When he came out again, he had lost the free and easy fairy aura he had before, but he had a little more graceful and luxurious wealth.

She opened the porter and entered a gazebo, where a maid and servant immediately brought a handstove and pastries...... When everything was ready, he ordered someone to bring the dragon battle.
