Chang Yuanbai and Pang Liang watched Miss Zhou's carriage slowly leave, and then the two left for Zhang's mansion.

When Zhang Fu got the news of Tianfu Temple, he had already prepared wine, food, singing and dancing, just waiting for the two to arrive.

At the gate of Zhang's mansion, there are many people waiting here, all of them are clothes made of brocade silk, and all faces are radiant, which shows how rich life is on weekdays. The leader is a strong man with a big belly, wearing a shirt made of light blue silk cloth, his belt is hooked with a gold and jade belt, and he is playing with a folding fan in his hand, dressed like an ordinary rich man, but he still can't suppress the brave spirit, this person is the Zhang family's advocate Qingxian.

Even if it is a century-old Jiangmen family, if it abandons the foundation of the family, it will be difficult to maintain the local prestige without such a fierce person to inherit. There is a family advocating that Qingxian is here, and if nothing else, the Zhang family will be prosperous for at least ten years.

Seeing two slender figures coming on the street, Zhang Qingxian immediately waved away the servant maid beside him and ran across half the street to greet him. is not only for Pang Liang's boss, but also for Pang Liang's guests, often looking at it from afar, and bringing the relationship between the two sides closer.

This kind of style, if you want to subdue any doorman, you will definitely win it steadily. It's a pity that these two people are both cultivators in the Xuan Realm, and stepping through the entrance is another realm, which is no different from the mundane. The general of the county town, just building the foundation and repairing it, is still mundane.

Zhang Qingxian was shy and told about his deep friendship with Pang Liang. In fact, the so-called meeting between the two is all entertainment in some officialdom, and they have no intersection, but they make him say that the two seem to have been friends for many years, but fortunately, they have a good grasp of proportion, and they do not disgust Pang Liang.

The Zhang family at the door followed the three of them into the hall, and everyone sat down in order to start the banquet that had been prepared long ago. The guests of honor greeted each other at the banquet, but they did not get to the point.

Zhang Qingxian was very curious about Chang Yunbai's identity and asked, "Huge man, where is this Taoist from here, can you introduce me?" ”

"This Daoist brother of mine is not an ordinary person, but the chief disciple of Xuanming Dao."

Zhang Qingxian was obviously stunned after hearing this, where had he seen such a fairy figure that only existed in rumors, at this time, he felt more and more that Chang Yunbai had amazing talents, and he frequently toasted and offered courtesy.

"Dao Chief, it is rumored in the world that the kung fu of the six major factions is extremely powerful, I don't know if you can tell us about it, so that the sons and daughters of the Zhang family can have a long experience."

Pang Liang echoed when he heard this, "I often hear that Xuanming Dao is the source of Taoism, and the exercises practiced are in line with the Great Dao, and it is rumored in the world that there are five luck and six qi, and learning it can be the same as heaven and earth, and all laws are connected, I don't know if it is really so magical, and I also ask Brother Dao to solve my doubts." ”

Chang Yunbai heard Pang Liang praise like this, and waved his hand again and again, "Senior brother praises falsely, the root of the Tao is only to obtain the Tao, how can there be any difference between positive and unhealthy sources." Moreover, these exercises you mentioned are all legends in the world, and the method of the six qi only exists in theory, and there is no formal cultivation method, but the operation method of the five elements has been passed down for a long time. ”

"Then I don't know which of the five elements my brother is good at?"

"I was fortunate to be taught by my teacher, and I learned the method of earth transportation, and the five directions were forbidden to the altar. By the way, what kind of exercises did Senior Brother Pang learn? ”

Pang conscience was stunned, Tuxing? If you talk about attributes, you are held hostage by him.

"I learned that I was all ordinary goods in Tianfu, Brother Dao can guess."

"I see that Senior Brother Pang's face is ruddy and delicate, but his hair is withered and gray, so I think he has practiced the exercises that contain the power of killing and vitality at the same time."

"Brother Dao is knowledgeable, what he said is right, I practice the Aoki Cutting Technique, but unfortunately I haven't practiced it yet, otherwise this hair can regain its shine."

……

After a full meal, Zhang Qingxian withdrew from the crowd, leaving only himself and two guests in the hall.

"Huge man, I don't know what to tell me to come here so late?"

Pang Liang picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said: "Recently, there have been frequent bandits, which has caused panic in the city and outside the city, and many refugees have gathered at the city gate, how is General Zhang going to solve it?" ”

Zhang Qingxian's hearty laughter couldn't hide it, "It turns out that this is the case, where do you need to ask the adults personally, sending troops to suppress bandits is my job, but it is not my duty to resettle refugees, it is not easy to interfere, but my Zhang family must contribute money and efforts to open porridge shops at every city gate to assist in rescuing refugees." ”

"It's just that my lord is not strange, if I want to send troops to suppress bandits, I can't do it without the order of the county guard."

"What? Do you still need an appointment from the county guard? Pang Liang's voice immediately cooled, and the coercion of the Xuan Realm burst out, which was really terrifying. Who in the city doesn't know, the county guard is just an ornament, and he has never been able to control the local powerful family. Using the matter of the order to prevaricate, this is no longer perfunctory, but contempt, no wonder Pang Liang is angry.

Zhang Qingxian knew that he was wrong, so he hurriedly apologized, and then said, "The lower officials are not perfunctory, they really need a reasonable name, otherwise they will leave people with a handle." You also know that the heroes and the county guards are not dealing with each other, and I really can't hold everyone back at this time. ”

Pang Liang raised his hand and rubbed his chin, his eyes flickered, and he chuckled lightly after a while, these people are really ruthless, and they don't give the county guard a chance at all. The county guard wants real power, and he can't control the army without the Zhang family, so he doesn't dare to do anything to the Zhang family with a handle, so he can only keep it in his hands and reuse it. Zhang Qingxian naturally knew that he just didn't want to cooperate with the county guard, so he needed a reasonable name without going through the county guard.

"That's easy to do, there are cultivators among the bandits, and this matter is within the jurisdiction of my Tianfu Temple, and you can overstep the command."

"Tomorrow, Brother Chang Dao and I will also go together, and we don't need many people, just a few hundred elite soldiers."

"Thank you, sir, for a drink." Zhang Qingxian raised his wine glass and drank it with Pang Liang, "I have three hundred elite soldiers at home, and I can go to battle with them." ”

Chang Yunbai, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly interjected, "The soldiers have armor." ”

Zhang Qingxian immediately came to the spirit when he mentioned the matter of the army, "Naturally, there is, the Taoist may not know the situation of the secular elite, in my Zhang family, the elite soldiers must not only be brave, the bow and horse are skilled, each person must be equipped with three pairs of armor, two war horses, and there are accompanying horsemen to carry materials, three hundred elite soldiers, that is, the foundation building monks, without three or five, they don't want to break through the past." ”

"Don't follow the supplies, we have to fight quickly, everything else is a burden."

"Then I will let the soldiers wear leather armor and travel lightly."

"No, it must be fine iron armor. General Zhang didn't know that those bandits fought in a very disciplined manner, and they were well-armed, even with crossbows, which should not be underestimated. ”

Zhang Qingxian hurriedly nodded in response, this kind of thing, he still cares a lot, they are all elites trained by his own family, even if he hurts a soldier, it is a great loss to the Zhang family.
