Author: Battle of Tiandu

Qingping City is only the main street, it is more than twice as large as Qingyuan City, there are three or four zhang wide, that is, there are three carriages in parallel and there is redundancy, the streets are full of people coming and going, all roads extend in all directions, like a spider web leading to the streets in the city.

There are all kinds of restaurants, inns, pharmacies, gambling houses, pawnshops, clothing shops, and many small vendors on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of snacks, such as rock sugar gourds and meat buns, which are of course essential.

Lin Yunchen followed Zhang Cheng and his party into Qingping City, Lin Yunchen knew the whole leopard by peeking at it, according to the tall buildings on both sides of the street, you can know the prosperity of the city, and after walking for a long time, you arrived in front of a large mansion, only to see that the gate of the mansion was painted with red paint.

There are two eye-catching big characters written on the lintel plaque, Zhao Mansion, and there are several people wearing family clothes standing on both sides of the door.

Calling for ...... , a few calls to stop the carriage were heard.

The group stopped in front of the gate of the mansion, Zhang Cheng jumped off the horse, walked to the more luxuriously decorated carriage behind, and said into the carriage.

"Miss Zhao, Zhao's Mansion has arrived, get out of the car."

"Well", I saw a beautiful woman about twenty-eight years old, and two accompanying maids next to her, walked out of the carriage, the girl was wearing a blue skirt, with a delicate silver hairpin on her head, and her figure was petite and long.

"Thank you, Zhang Shaoxia for your protection along the way, otherwise the little girl may not be able to go home safely", Zhao Tingting, who got out of the carriage, said with a slight salute.

"I also take money to do things, Miss Zhao should not be too polite, if there is no help from Daoist Yuqingzi on the road, it is difficult to say whether it can be brought to Qingping City safely", Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"Zhang Gongzi doesn't have to be too modest, you are the son of the Zhangjia Martial Arts Museum, you have excellent swordsmanship and martial arts skills, and you can escort the little girl from Qinghe City to Qingping City safely, the little woman is grateful", Zhao Tingting held her hands slightly, and said with a straight face.

At this time, the family at the gate of Zhao's mansion, when he saw his young lady coming back, immediately ran into the mansion to report, and it didn't take a while, probably dozens of breaths later.

A middle-aged man about forty years old, dressed in silk and satin, dressed like a wealthy man.

Strode out of the Zhao Mansion, followed by a forty or fifty-year-old Zhao Mansion housekeeper, and the housekeeper was accompanied by several housekeepers and maids.

"My good daughter, you can be regarded as safe and secure", the head of the Zhao family hurriedly stepped forward to check if his daughter was safe and sound, and whether she was injured.

"Dad", Zhao Tingting shouted happily when she saw her father coming out, and then trotted quickly to her father.

"Don't let you go and don't listen, you have to go to Qinghe City, and pray for blessings on the Nine Spirits Temple", the head of the Zhao family said angrily at his daughter.

"Daughter, nothing happened on the way back, I heard that there are a lot of bandits there," and I was relieved to be able to come back.

"Fortunately, there is Zhang Chenggongzi sent by my father to answer it, otherwise you won't see your daughter," Zhao Tingting pursed her lips and said with a look of great grievance.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, let's go to the house and talk about it carefully."

Steward Zhao, you go and arrange those goods to be put in the factory warehouse, and send the injured guards to the backyard for healing, the head of the Zhao family commanded.

"Yes, sir," replied the butler.

Lin Yunchen, who was in the back, raised his head and secretly glanced at Miss Zhao's appearance, that appearance was really a little jasper, as beautiful as a heavenly person.

However, Lin Yunchen was influenced by Confucian etiquette, and Confucianism said that he should not ignore incivility, so he just glanced at it casually, and did not dare to look at it more, for fear that others would say that he had some kind of non-trivial thoughts such as toads wanting to eat swan meat.

Zhao Tingting and her father were in front, followed by a cadre of housekeepers and maids, and entered the gate of Zhao's mansion together, and Zhang Cheng and Lin Yunchen also followed behind Jiading.

Just when Lin Yunchen was about to step into the threshold of the Zhao Mansion with one foot, he was stopped by a family member.

"Who are you, do you want to enter the Zhao Mansion as you want?" the keeper of the gate scolded without hesitation.

Zhao Tingting and Zhao Yunpeng, father and daughter, heard the voice of inquiry coming from behind, and the head of the Zhao family immediately turned around and asked.

"Ah Fu, what's the matter?"

"Master, this poor boy from nowhere, also wants to follow in", Ah Fu pointed at Lin Yunchen and said.

Who is this person? Zhao Yunpeng asked suspiciously.

Uncle Zhao's little brother is named Lin Yunchen, we met on the way back, and there is no offense, and Uncle Zhao asked him to go in together, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and explained.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go in together", the head of the Zhao family said with a wave of his hand.

In the reception hall of the Zhao family, the decoration is very exquisite and luxurious, the walls are hung with all kinds of precious landscape calligraphy and paintings, and the tables, chairs and benches in the living room are all made of high-quality wood, and it is the home of a rich businessman at a glance.

Zhao Yunpeng took his daughter to walk in front, Lin Yunchen and Zhang Cheng followed, and walked towards the hospitality hall of Zhao Mansion.

"Zhang Cheng, just tell me carefully about what happened along the way, the head of the Zhao family took a sip of tea," he asked aloud.

Back to Uncle Zhao asked, eighty miles outside Qingyuan City, we met a group of robbers, the other side was overwhelming, and it was in a moment of crisis.

I happened to meet a Taoist of Yuqingzi who traveled down the mountain, thanks to which Taoist leader stepped forward and shouted loudly, scaring off the group of robbing bandits, otherwise we will wait for people, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious. Zhang Cheng described the events along the way in detail one by one, and the head of the Zhao family was frightened and his palms were cold.

"So that's the case, that's thanks to which Yuqingzi Dao Chief, I don't know which Dao Chief, where is the person now, I must thank others for their righteous help", the Zhao family master said.

"Which Taoist has left, and I don't know where he went," Zhang Cheng explained truthfully.

Then Zhao Yunpeng looked at Lin Yunchen and asked Lin Yunchen: This little friend is Lin Yunchen!

Lin Yunchen hurriedly got up and saluted, and replied without hesitation: I did come to Qingping City to find a job.

Well, the head of the Zhao family thought about it for a while, the front desk of my restaurant is indeed a guy who is still short of settling accounts, I pay five taels of silver a month to take care of food and housing, can Lin Yunchen be willing.

When Lin Yunchen heard that there was such a good thing, there were still five taels of silver every month, and then he showed joy and replied: Thank you Zhao family master, I am willing.

Okay, okay, it's decided, I'll arrange someone to take you over immediately, you have to work hard.

"Well, it will be," Lin Yunchen nodded and said.

Come on, the head of the Zhao family called out to the outside of the hall.

There was a family waiting outside the hall, and when the family heard the call, he hurriedly came in and said, "Master, what do you have to command?"

You take this Lin Yunchen Xiaoyou to Chunxiang Restaurant, and ask Zhao Peilong's shopkeeper to arrange for Lin Yunchen Xiaoyou to be the front account room, just say that I ordered it, the head of the Zhao family said.

"Yes, sir," replied the housekeeper, bowing respectfully. Then Lin Yunchen was taken out of the house and went to Chunxiang Restaurant by that family.

"Dad, I didn't expect you to have to think about it, you agreed, originally I wanted to intercede for him", Zhao Tingting said coquettishly.

"My baby daughter, since this Lin Yunchen is walking with which Yuqingzi Dao Master, presumably his character will definitely not be bad."

"The so-called close to Zhu is red, and near the ink is black", I still understand this truth, in addition to the Yuqingzi Daoist, you have the grace of saving your life, and the grace of receiving people's dripping water, you will be reciprocated by the spring, the head of the Zhao family said kindly to his daughter.

"Uncle Zhao, since there is nothing to do, then I will leave first", Zhang Cheng got up and said.

"Okay! Since that's the case, then I won't be far away, the reward that Zhang Xian's nephew promised to give you, I will send someone to Zhang's mansion later."

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, take care of your body, I'll go home first."

Not long after Zhang Cheng left, a graceful and gorgeous lady accompanied by the maid came to the hospitality hall and hurriedly checked whether her daughter was injured, looking extremely worried.
