Chapter 25: Qiantang County

After Zhao Yunfeng came on the field, no one went on again, and a quarter of an hour later, the village chief announced that the strongest person in the God's Choice this time was Zhang Ran.

The village chief said: "Please ask the strongest person Zhang Ran to push the willow cart and put the grass boat. ”

Zhang Ran came to the willow cart, pushed it towards the willow cart, pushed the willow cart from the shore into the water, and then the willow cart floated downstream of the water.

Zhang Ran found that although the willow car was five meters high, it was not heavy under this push, and it was easily pushed down the lake.

It seems that the willow cart is specially manufactured, and it is deliberately made to look difficult to push, but there are hidden mechanisms inside that will allow him to push well.

But the willow car is like this, the grass boat should be about the same, and then Zhang Ran came to the grass boat, and without much strength, he easily pushed the grass boat into the water, and then the grass boat went down the river.

"This is the Darkiron Treasure Knife given to you." The village chief held a black knife in his hand and handed it to Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran took it and held it up with the Xuantie Treasure Knife.

This is the end of the Poor Festival, although no one said, but everyone knows that the launch of the willow car and the straw boat means that the Poor Festival is over.

Go back to your own house and find your own mother.

The villagers returned to their homes, while the outsiders returned to inns and brothels, and some warriors left Dongwang Village on the spot, not afraid of the dangers of the night.

Suddenly, the entire Dongwang Village became deserted, and even the lanterns that were lit were extinguished.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Pestle returned to the inn, and the little beggar also went back to his home.

Zhang Pestle couldn't sleep for a while, he was very excited about Zhang Ransheng, and then came to Zhang Ran's house, knocked on the door, and wanted to see the Xuantie Treasure Knife he could get.

Zhang Ran didn't fall asleep either, he just slept all day during the day, and it wasn't too late, Zhang Ran couldn't sleep for a while, so he picked up the tomb robbery notes he got from Wang Ren and looked at them.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Ran opened the door, saw that it was Zhang Pestle, let Zhang Pestle enter the door, and heard that Zhang Pestle wanted to see the Xuantie Treasure Knife, Zhang Ran gave the Xuantie Treasure Knife to Zhang Pestle.

Zhang Pestle took the Xuantie Treasure Knife and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at Zhang Pestle, the more he felt that it was wrong, when he was in Qiantang County, he had also seen the Xuantie Treasure Knife once, although he had no chance to encounter it with his status, but he still saw it clearly at that time.

How does Zhang Pestle think that this Xuantie Treasure Knife is different from the Xuantie Treasure Knife that he saw before, not to mention anything else, just say that the color is different, after thinking for a long time, Zhang Pestle has some ideas.

Then he said to Zhang Ran: "This Xuantie Treasure Knife is wrong. ”

Zhang Ran said: "What's wrong, isn't this the real Xuantie Treasure Knife." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "I don't know if my guess is right, but I still want to say that the reason why the Xuantie Treasure Knife is called the Xuantie Treasure Knife is because the entire treasure knife is made of Xuantie, and the Xuantie Treasure Knife given to you by Dongwang Village is not made of a whole piece of Xuantie, at most it is mixed with some knives made of Xuantie." ”

Zhang Ran said: "Is the Xuantie Treasure Knife a good knife?" ”

Zhang said: "It's a good knife, but it's not a treasure knife. ”

Zhang Ran nodded, I understood, Zhang Ran still had some expectations, but no matter how prosperous Dongwang Village was, it was just a village after all, and what good rewards he could come up with, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

However, he didn't have any good knives on his body, so he used this Xuantie Treasure Knife first.

At this moment, Zhang Ran's door knocked on the door, Zhang Ran glanced at Zhang Pestle and said, "Someone will come so late." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "Someone came so late, there should be something important, open the door and take a look." ”

Zhang Pestle opened the door, and when he saw the people outside the door, Zhang Pestle was stunned, because this person was Guan Qing of the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall, that is, one of the two distinguished guests invited by the village chief.

What did Guan Qing come to him for, Guan Qing is an official disciple of the Five Tigers Martial Arts Pavilion, and he has a certain status even in Qiantang County, while Zhang Pestle and Zhang Ran are only from the countryside, and their identities are very different.

Guan Qing said: "You were surprised to see me. ”

Zhang Pestle said: "It's very unexpected, I don't know what happened to Guan Daxia coming to me." ”

Guan Qing said: "I'm not here to find you, I'm here to find Zhang Ran." ”

When watching Zhang Ran's competition, Guan Qing fell in love with Zhang Ran and sent the outer disciples of the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall to investigate Zhang Ran.

Before Guan Qing looked for Zhang Ran, he had already read Zhang Ran's information, knew that Zhang Ran was from Hulu Village, knew that Zhang Ran had created many things for children to play with, knew that Zhang Ran was so smart, and his martial arts were so good, so Guan Qing found it.

Zhang Pestle smiled awkwardly, and Guan Qing said again: "Can you let me in." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "Yes, yes, please come in, please come in." ”

Guan Qing entered the room and saw Zhang Ran looking at the Xuantie Treasure Knife, Guan Qing smiled and said: "Although the Xuantie Treasure Knife rewarded by the village chief is called the Xuantie Treasure Knife, it is made of one or two Xuantie Treasure Knives, which is far from the real Treasure Knife, but it is also much stronger than ordinary weapons, even compared with my knife, it is only a little worse." ”

Guan Qing saw that Zhang Ran was dissatisfied when he looked at the Xuantie Treasure Knife, and guessed what Zhang Ran thought, so he said this sentence, the reason why he said it was because there were two points, one was to let Zhang Ran not underestimate this knife, this knife is not bad; Second, after all, he was invited by the village chief, so he naturally had to say good things for the village chief.

Zhang Ran said: "I thought it was the real Xuantie Treasure Knife." ”

Guan Qing said: "The Xuantie Treasure Knife is a real treasure knife, it is a strange treasure, it is something that can be met but not sought, and it is impossible for the little village chief of Dongwang Village to take it out." ”

"I didn't think of that." Zhang Ran said: "I don't know what you came to me for." ”

Guan Qing said: "Then I'll get straight to the point, I want to invite you to join the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall." ”

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Pestle showed a look of ecstasy, this is a great thing, the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall is one of the three major martial arts halls in Qiantang County, and the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife inside is a peerless school, Zhang Ran invited by Guan Qing, Zhang Ran will definitely receive attention when he enters the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall, maybe he can learn the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife with Zhang Ran's talent.

The place where Zhang Pestle introduced Zhang Ran to learn martial arts is not comparable at all, after all, what Zhang Pestle introduced to Zhang Ran is only a medium force in the outer city of Qiantang County, and now there is a better place to go to the Five Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, so naturally the middle force in the outer city does not need to go.

Seeing Zhang Pestle giving himself a look and making him agree, Zhang Ran was also moved, after all, he had heard many people talk about the Five Tigers Martial Arts Pavilion during the competition before, and knew what the status of the Five Tigers Martial Arts Pavilion was in Qiantang County, and then Zhang Ran said: "I am willing to join the Five Tigers Martial Arts Pavilion." ”

"That's good, when you get to Qiantang County, you and I will go to the Five Tigers Martial Arts Pavilion and officially join the Five Tigers Martial Arts Pavilion." Guan Qing said: "By the way, do you want to go to Qiantang County with me." ”

Zhang Pestle preemptively said: "Let's go together." Then he pulled Zhang Ran's sleeve and whispered: "With the name of the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall, there will be a lot less trouble on the way to Qiantang County." ”

Although the Ming Dynasty is now peaceful in the world, there are always some robbers and bandits on the road, and with the reputation of the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall, it will deter some such Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Ran has his own considerations, the more troubles for him, the better, so that he can upgrade faster, so Zhang Ran said: "Thank you for your kindness, I will go to Qiantang County by myself." ”

Guan Qing said: "Okay, after you arrive in Qiantang County, you can go to the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall to find me, and report my name to the newspaper." ”

After saying that, Guan Qing left.

Zhang Pestle sighed and said: "I really have the demeanor of a hero, I have so much respect for you as a child." ”

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes, and then remembered that I was a child.

The next morning, at the entrance of Dongwang Village, the little beggar bid farewell to Zhang Ran and Zhang Pestle with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Pestle wanted to continue to leave for Qiantang County, and when they parted, Zhang Pestle gave the little beggar ten taels of silver, and the little beggar didn't want to accept it, but under Zhang Pestle's strong request, he had to accept it.

It wasn't until Zhang Ran and Zhang Pestle disappeared that the little beggar returned to Dongwang Village.

After Zhang Ran and Zhang Pestle walked for a while, they continued to use footwork to hurry, this time it was proposed by Zhang Pestle, Zhang Ran's footwork could be exercised, which was in response to Zhang Ran's intention, so it was too slow to hurry.

It took more than a day to arrive in Qiantang County, and there was one thing in it, Zhang Ran met the carriage of two beauties protected by the bearded man, and at that time a group of people were attacking the carriage, although the bearded man with the escort had the upper hand, but Zhang Ran still helped, and finally repelled the group.

Zhang Pestle and Bearded Man got a lot closer, and Bearded Man also saw the choice of God in Dongwang Village, and knew that Zhang Ran, the child next to Zhang Pestle, was the strongest person selected, and then Zhang Pestle and Bearded Man chatted eagerly.

Zhang Pestle knew the name of the bearded man, called Niu Ben, and he also went to Qiantang County, and he was escorting the master's house, as for where the bearded man was sent to it, Zhang Pestle understood, after all, the bearded man is now on the way to escort, so be cautious.

The bearded man also knew that Zhang Pestle escorted Zhang Ran to Qiantang County to study, and it was the same way, and then the bearded man invited Zhang Pestle to go to Qiantang County together, and Zhang Pestle agreed, because there was not much halfway after that, and there was nothing to go with him.

"Isn't it a little bad to go with them, we don't know what their identity is, after all, we are escorting the main family, if they have bad intentions towards the main family......"

Before the guard could finish speaking, Niu Ben said: "It's nothing, the main family has agreed, and the identity of the two of them has already been known by the main family, and there is no problem." ”

As soon as Niu Ben's words came out, the guard had nothing to say.

Then they hurried together, nothing happened in the middle, and when they arrived in Qiantang County, the two beauties in the carriage had a very high identity, and when they entered the city, they just looked at the token in Niu Ben's hand and let them go, Zhang Ran and Zhang Pestle did not line up, and followed in.

After arriving in the county, Zhang Pestle and Niu Ben said goodbye to each other and parted ways.

Although Qiantang County is majestic, it is not as good as the city in the previous life, so Zhang Ran just looked at it, admired the scenery of the ancient city, and began to listen to what Zhang Pestle said.

"Qiantang County is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the outer city is some ordinary forces, most of them are poor, and the inner city is a powerful force in Qiantang County, most of them live in rich households." Zhang Pestle introduced Zhang Ran and said:

"Now we're on our way to a good friend of mine in the outer city, and you're going to stay there for the time being."

"Who's that friend of yours?" Zhang Ran said.

"His name is Zhang Kuan, he is the head catcher of the county government, and we are both from Hulu Village, but he hasn't been back to Hulu Village since he came to Qiantang County, so you haven't seen him." Zhang said.

"No wonder your surname is Zhang, you and he are good friends, and it's because of the same village." Zhang Ran said

"I came to Qiantang County with him back then, and at that time we had a good relationship because we were in the same village, sometimes he helped me, sometimes I helped him, but later I returned to Hulu Village, and he became the catcher of the county government, so he stayed." Zhang Pestle said: "Although he hasn't been back to Hulu Village for a long time, I have been in contact with him, and I will introduce you to his home, so that you can get along well after you live temporarily." ”

"Zhang Kuan has a wife named Li, Li takes care of the family, and has a son and a daughter, the son is named Zhang Rongming, who is sixteen years old, and now he is also practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall, and his daughter's name is Zhang Dieer, who is nine years old, and now she is studying in a private school."

Zhang Ran said: "Can women also study in private schools?" ”

Zhang said: "This is the grace of the Holy Grace today, and it is common for women to read, but women's reading has also been practiced since a few years ago. ”
