Chen Jingzhi arched his hand and said, "The old man smiled, the junior did go to Baojing Cave, but that was half a month ago. Today I'm going up the mountain to get ready to go back to the county. ”

Huan Shan didn't say anything, smiled slightly, and said, "The old man has no malice, just joy in his heart." ”

Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern." ”

"Chen Shaolang, if you have time in the future, please come to the mountains as a guest, or ask Chen Shaolang to leave an address, and you can also find Shaolang in the future. ”

Chen Shaolang thought for a while, and then said, "I originally sent my junior brother to the county to participate in the county examination, and I need to return to Yanchuan County in a few days. ”

"Then Chen Shaolang go back quickly, if you have leisure in the future, you can come to the mountains to find me." Huan Shan saw that he gave a salute, and went down the mountain, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the mana of the gods in the Baojing Cave could not fall, nor could it be explored, ordinary ordinary people would lose their lives if they went, so long as they went to the first or second floor, even if they got out of the Baojing Cave, it would not take long for them to be infected and die.

In the rented courtyard, Yang Tingqing and Meng Zhaoxing were anxious, but Meng Chengguang hid in the room and refused to come out.

Meng Zhaoxing saw that Yang Tingqing couldn't hold his breath, so he said, "Brother Yang, I have already inquired with the Taishou Mansion, and I haven't heard that there is a conflict between Dao Chang and Wu Taishou. The Taoist is strong in martial arts and profound in Taoism, so he should be fine. ”

Yang Tingqing exhaled heavily, "I haven't seen my senior brother for half a month, I really can't feel at ease, no, I must go to the government to report the case." ”

Meng Zhaoxing frowned slightly, even if he reported the case, it would be over, his impression of the government has always been bad. But he still agreed, "It's okay, I'll go with Brother Yang." ”

After the two finished speaking, they went out together, but as soon as the door opened, they saw Chen Jingzhi drifting back.

"Senior brother. Yang Tingqing couldn't hide his excitement and blurted out.

"Where are you going?" Chen Jingzhi glanced at them and said with a smile, "Go and help me boil water, I want to bathe." ”

"I'll go, I'll go. Meng Chengguang heard the voice in the room and immediately shouted, "I'll go boil water." ”

Meng Zhaoxing laughed and said, "Then Brother Yang might as well go and sell wine, I'll go buy some food and come back, and celebrate well." Yang Tingqing nodded again and again.

Chen Jing felt a warmth in his heart, it can be said that he has been working hard every day for half a month, and now he can finally rest a little. He went back to the room and lay down, and after about half an hour, Meng Chengguang knocked lightly on the door, "Dao Chief, Dao Chief?"

Chen Jingzhi opened his eyes, "The door is not locked, come in." ”

Meng Chengguang came in with a hippie smile, pushed the bath bucket, and then came in with water, and said with a smile, "Sprinkle some flowers for you, a flower bath?"

Seeing Chen Jingzhi smiling and not answering, he pursed his lips and said, "Then why don't I press your shoulder and pinch your back?"

"No, you can get out. Chen Jingzhi saw that he was sweating profusely, it was summer, and he said that boiling hot water was just his joke, and he didn't want to make a few people too excited.

"Okay. Meng Chengguang was disappointed in his heart, and after going out, he closed the door seriously, but after closing the door, he shouted, "Dao Chief, I really didn't go to gamble, so I played two." ”

Chen Jingzhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, changed his clothes and soaked in the water, which was rare and comfortable. After a while, Yang Tingqing and others prepared all kinds of roast chicken, roast duck, sauce pork, and side dishes. The four of them sat down, Yang Tingqing and the others were all excited, and Chen Jingyi went for half a month, and they were very worried in their hearts.

After drinking half of it, Chen Jingzhi looked at Yang Tingqing and Meng Zhaoxing and said, "I plan to return to Yanchuan County tomorrow, I still have an important thing to do this time, and I can't stay in the county seat next." ”

Yang Tingqing felt a little sentimental in his heart, but the man's ambition was in all directions, and he said firmly, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely practice martial arts with my heart and be a helper for senior brother in the future." ”

"That..."Meng Zhaoxing was slightly nervous in his heart, if Chen Jingzhi left, then I am afraid it would be difficult to have a chance to see each other again in the future. He thought about it, drank a cup alone, and suddenly got up and was about to kneel, but Chen Jingzhi held him up.

Meng Zhaoxing said resolutely on his face, "Dao Chief, I really sincerely want to worship you as a teacher, can I ask you to accept it." ”

"That's right, Daochang Chen, my brother's admiration for you is like a surging river, and you have been missing for half a month, thinking about you day and night..." ”

Chen Jingzhi said solemnly, "Brother Meng, if you still want to worship me as a teacher after winning the promotion, come to Yanchuan County to find me, then I can consider accepting you as a registered disciple." ”

"Is it a registered disciple?" Meng Chengguang couldn't help but stand up and said in surprise.

Meng Zhaoxing was encouraged, his hands were a little excited, and he could only nod his head.

After Chen Jingzhi finished eating and drinking with them, the few people chatted for a long time, and that night he had prepared all the things and went to Wu Taishou's mansion. When I got to the outside of the house, I saw the previous steward again.

The steward smiled flatteringly and said, "Master Chen, my lord invited you in, I've been waiting for you for a day." ”

Chen Jingzhi smiled, Wu Taishou had always arranged for someone to stay near his residence, and once Chen Jingzhi came back, someone would report immediately. He calmly followed Steward Wu to see Wu Taishou.

Wu Taishou couldn't help but walk out of the door, and after seeing Chen Jingzhi, he said, "Chen Shaolang, please come in." ”

Chen Jingzhi walked into the room, Wu Taishou said with a smile, "As soon as Chen Shaolang went for half a month, the old man was a little regretful, but Chen Shaolang lived up to his expectations and came back again, congratulations." As he spoke, he kept staring at the treasure box in Chen Jingzhi's hand.

Chen Jingzhi didn't talk nonsense, put a treasure box on the table, and said, "Wu Taishou, I won't hide from you that I did encounter danger here, but fortunately, God's will favored me, so I saved the danger." This is something I found on the first floor of the treasure cave, and I don't know if it's what Taishou wants. ”

Wu Taishou was pleasantly surprised, glanced at Chen Jingzhi, and listened to him continue, "As soon as I opened it, there was no danger. ”

Chen Shaolang was really calm, and the old man didn't look at the wrong person. Wu Taishou couldn't hide his excitement and opened the treasure box, saw a thin silk, gently unfolded it, and found some strange words, with patterns attached to them, he panicked after reading them, he didn't recognize any of these words.

"This..."Wu Taishou unfolded the thin silk in disappointment, but saw Chen Jingzhi shaking his head slightly.

"This should not be the Song script. Chen Jingzhi said something that was neither salty nor light.

Wu Taishou couldn't hide his frustration, and quickly smiled and said, "Chen Shaolang, please take a seat, I don't know what arrangements Chen Shaolang will make next?"

Chen Jingzhi looked at the other party and said seriously, "If it was half a month ago, I might have accepted Lord Taishou's kindness, but this time I have to hurry back to Yanchuan County, so I can only be disrespectful." Please rest assured, I will never leak this matter. ”

Wu Taishou looked at him, thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but if Chen Shaolang wants to go back to Yanchuan County, he should be very careful." ”

"Oh, please give me advice. Chen Jingzhi also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and then looked at Wu Taishou between his eyebrows.

Wu Taishou squinted his eyes, and said with a somewhat solemn expression, "Hehe, since you want to go back, you have done the old man a great favor, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, but this is confidential for the time being." Recently, the Baiyue Kingdom has frequently entered and exited the border between China and the DPRK, and has wantonly sent secret agents to disrupt the territory, and the two countries have started a war. Although Yanchuan County has other counties as a buffer, it is inevitable that it will be dragged into it, so you must prepare early. ”

Chen Jingzhi's gaze changed suddenly, and then he looked at Wu Taishou, he dared to tell himself about this kind of military situation, so it can be said that it is open in the eyes of many people, no wonder Meng Zhaoxing talked about the rise in food prices at noon. And along the way, he found traces of Saimen many times, and the number of ghosts and monsters continued to increase, and he had judged that bandits and even rebellions were likely to occur.

Chen Jingzhi stood up and saluted respectfully, "Thank you Lord Taishou for your advice." In this way, he has to hurry back to Yanchuan County.

"Hehe, more people will know about this matter in two days, you go back and be careful, now there are rogues in many marginal counties. ”

After Wu Taishou finished speaking, Chen Jing's heart was already thinking quickly, and then after asking for advice for a while, he left the Taishou Mansion. After going back, the next morning, he quietly asked a few people to stock up on a lot of rice grain, and went to buy two long swords with Yang Tingqing and Meng Zhaoxing. Both of them are showmen, and the swords are also compliant, but unlike the other showmen, who only do one thing, both of them have sword blades.

After doing this, Chen Jingzhi went to Fang City by himself, and originally wanted to buy a good horse, but now in this case, all the good horses have been requisitioned by the government, and the rest are mostly thin horses, old horses, sick horses, and crippled horses. Chen Jingzhi was not satisfied after picking for a while, and finally chose a dark horse. The horse looked skinny due to illness, dripping dropping feces from the corners of his eyes, and seemed to be dying, but Chen Jingzhi had an elixir in his hand, and as long as he used it, he could recover.

Horses are an important resource, and the ordinary price is also very expensive, which cannot be compared with cattle and sheep, and even such a sick horse, the horse dealer has to ask for fifty taels of silver, and will never bargain. He also said that this horse was a famous horse, and he had followed his master on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the asking price was too low to be sorry for the old horse, and he did not sell it for five hundred taels of silver before.

Chen Jingzhi was too lazy to pay attention, and after taking out the silver taels, he immediately asked people to lead the sick horse to issue a paperwork, washed the sick horse clean, and asked Chen Jingzhi to pay the silver money for the saddle. After that, under the eyes of Yang Tingqing and others, he sent the next person back to Yanchuan County.

Yang Tingqing and the others are a little reluctant, although Chen Jingzhi is not very old, he is stable, and several people are actually under his protection. After they watched Chen Jingzhi lead the horse out of the county town, they looked a little lost, and Yang Tingqing couldn't help but write a poem, and the sense of farewell became stronger and stronger.
