Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe clouds in the sky, connected together, the sun sets, the clouds are illuminated red, like a fire in the sky, to burn the whole sky.

"What's going on? What are those things, so terrible! I almost peed my pants in fright." Zhang Daniu called out no big or small.

Tianchen and the two little sisters blushed and lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, because they had already peed their pants.

Before others could answer, Zhang Bao got up and slapped Da Niu, beating him and screaming in pain.

"Don't be big or small, those are all rumored immortal cultivators, with vast magical powers, not what we mortals can imagine. Zhang Bao reprimanded softly.

Zhang Daniu recalled the tragic situation of those who were frozen, and immediately sat up nervously, clasped his hands together, and begged for mercy in all directions.

"Immortal cultivator, can Second Uncle Zhang be more detailed?" Tianhe hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Bao got up and looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found that he had stumbled into it by mistake, and he was not far from the city, so he immediately patted the dust on his body and said.

"Okay, but let's hide in the city first, it's getting dark, and it's not safe for a few of us to stay here."

Everyone got up, looked at Zhang Bao and pointed to the black shadow not far away, and a big stone in their hearts finally saw the bottom, and one by one they happily agreed and ran to the small city.

The speed of a few people along the way was not slow, Zhang Bao told them about the things he knew about the immortal cultivators, and even Jiang Yun, who had always only stared at firewood, rice, oil and salt, listened extremely seriously.

The city has become a pot of porridge, and only one-tenth of the long queue of refugees has entered the city, and the rest of the people naturally do not know life and death, and ask for more blessings.

After an episode of the immortal demon eradication, Tianhe and the others all understood their insignificance, and at the same time had a strong interest in cultivating immortals, but before that, they needed to solve a more urgent problem.

They are out of food again!

After Zhang Bao and the others entered the city, they found that in addition to the arrival of the people, they only had a set of clothes left, some iron pots, clothes and other escape items, all of which did not know where they were lost.

Because it is too dangerous now, Jiang Yun is not worried that Zhang Bao will go out alone, and Zhang Bao will not be able to let go of his wife and children, so the group of people found a clean place on the street corner, and the seven of them hugged each other and fell asleep slowly.

The streets were full of refugees fleeing, all of them weak, and they hadn't eaten for a long time, and a grand hunger concert was played from midnight.

The next day, before dawn, several people got up early, and they were all awakened from hunger, listening to their stomachs rumbling and purring, and then feeling the powerlessness of their whole bodies, and no one could sleep anymore.

Zhang Bao looked at the somewhat dazed child and decided to go out to find something to eat.The three of Tianhe volunteered to go out to do something big, Jiang Yun wanted to stop it, but heard the daughter in his arms shout, "Mother, I'm hungry." , I didn't say more, hugged Zhang Huahua and silently shed tears.

So several people performed their duties and worked hard again.

Zhang Bao told Tianhe a few words, and then left alone.

Tianhe has always been the most sensible and brave and strong child among these children, and he is already half an adult in Zhang Bao's heart, and Zhang Bao is also relieved a lot by him.

The three little guys wandered around the city, but all they saw was depression and desolation. Except for a dozen or so soldiers who defended the city with a façade, most of them were refugees who fled in yesterday. The situation of these refugees was basically similar to that of Tianhe and the others, all of them were skinny and full of hunger.

Several people saw the three children of Tianhe wandering outside, and they had bad thoughts, but after being reminded of the "brilliant achievements" of Tianhe and others, most of the hungry refugees with weak bodies extinguished their evil thoughts, and let the three children escape the catastrophe.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and the three children gathered together, all empty-handed, and they had nothing to gain.

"No, if this continues, we will starve to death sooner or later, do you have any harvest over there?" Tianhe asked a little anxiously.

"No, I've searched through some uninhabited houses, and I haven't even found a single rat that has starved to death!" Da Niu spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Where's Tianchen?" Tianhe turned and looked at Tianchen, who was only late at the end.

"No, but I did hear a piece of news, and I don't know if it's true or not." Tianchen hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Oh, tell me about it." Tianhe came to interest.

Tianchen sorted out the news he heard, and after a while, he said: "That's right, when I walked in front of the mansion, I heard the doorman discussing a rich man outside the city.

"Those who can be called outsiders must be rich and well, well, there is a drama in this, Tianchen, do you know where this Zheng Yuanwai is?" Tianhe touched his pointed chin, thought for a while, and said with a bright eye.

"I don't know." Tianchen replied calmly.

"What? You don't know, that's." Zhang Daniu scolded at the top of his throat.

"What's the situation now? Those guards are careful, they speak very quietly, if it weren't for my sensitive ears and hearing it, otherwise I wouldn't know about Zheng Yuanwai's person. Tianchen explained helplessly.

When the other two heard Tianchen say this, they immediately extinguished their anger, understood Tianchen's difficulties, and stopped complaining.

"In this way, the three of us will not be separated in the afternoon, and we will go together to investigate this Zheng Yuanwai's residence, now that the world is so chaotic, I don't want us to have any more problems." Tianhe suggested.

Da Niu and Tianchen also readily agreed, so the two immediately got up and began their journey to find Zheng Yuanwai.

Hard work pays off, by chance, they learned from three local children that Zheng Yuanwai's mansion is three miles away north of the city.

"It's not early, let's go back early, so as not to worry about Second Aunt Zhang, and wait until tomorrow to go to the north of the city with Second Uncle Zhang." Tianhe looked at the burning clouds in the west and suggested.

Zhang Daniu and Tianchen looked happy, although they hadn't eaten for a day, but knowing the news of Zheng Yuanwai's house had already made them overjoyed.

The three children returned to the street together and found Jiang Yun and the others, but Zhang Bao had not come back yet, and he was still trying his best for food.

Tianhe comforted them, saying that they already knew where to eat, and as long as they waited one more day, they would be able to bring back a lot of food.

When night fell, Zhang Bao came back a little depressed, his expression was full of frustration.Jiang Yun saw that her husband came back safely, although there was no food, but she was also happy in her heart, and comforted Zhang Bao at the moment, and secretly told him about the affairs of several people in Tianhe. Zhang Bao was ecstatic after hearing this, swept away the haze, hugged his wife, and fell asleep satisfied.

There was nothing to do all night, and after dawn, Zhang Bao took the three of Tianhe to Zheng Yuanwai's house in the north of the city, and the goal was naturally to ask for a job to feed the family.

Zheng Yuanwai's home is easy to find, because he is the largest rich man here, and the mansion courtyard occupies more than 20 acres of land, which can be seen from a distance, like a small palace compound, not to mention that the vermilion lacquer copper door is full of people.

Zhang Bao and the four of them looked at the hundred and dozens of people in front of them dumbfounded, unable to speak, and pulled one of them over and asked a few words, only then did they know the reason.

It turned out that a few days ago, Zheng Yuanwai's daughter went home and wanted to live for a while.

Zhang Bao is a hunter after all, and occasionally hunted some wild horses, and his conceit knows a little about the habits of horses, so he volunteered to join the queue.

The three of them were bored, so they quietly ran to the side and began to do their own thing.

The courtyard wall is full of flowers and trees, fragrant, there are some bird cages hanging on the corridor in the distance, and a few birdsongs occasionally come out from it, crisp and pleasant.

The three little boys were all born in a mountain village, where do they know these pavilions and pavilions, quiet and elegant.

The three fellows wandered aimlessly for a while, and gradually began to notice the details of these buildings, and wanted to take a good look, or take some back and exchange them for silver, but they also knew their identities, they had sneaked in, not invited, so they didn't dare to go up and take a closer look.

At some point, the three of them walked to an open place, the ground was all lawn, about two acres, and there were several rows of tall wooden houses in the north, and I don't know what was inside.

Several people lay on the ground, looked east and west, and guessed that the servant was lazy sleeping.

On the Zheng family's mansion, in a hall with an elegant environment, three people sit at a round table and talk about wine, and a beautiful maid stands behind each of them to pour wine for them.

Among them, due north sits a graceful and luxurious middle-aged man, with a high crown on the top, long hair and hanging chest, elegant complexion, and unusually kind, with the atmosphere of the head of the family.

If Tianhe and the others were here, they would find that this pair of men and women were actually the two monks who fought fiercely with the red-robed man a few days ago! I don't know how this girl is, she changed into a yellow dress, compared to the previous white-robed figure, she is a little less delicate and free, and a little more gentle and lovely.

The middle-aged Confucian and the white-robed man frequently raised their glasses to drink, their demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, and they were very polite to each other.

"This time, with the help of the immortals, I went to Zheng to have a certain heart disease, thank you so much. The middle-aged Confucian smiled and raised his glass to drink.

The white-robed man on the opposite side also raised his wine glass, and as soon as he raised his head, the wine in the cup was in his stomach.

The white-robed man said unhurriedly: "Uncle Zheng is too polite, the demon defense is the duty of my generation, and it is not enough to thank you.

Looking at the humble appearance of the man in front of him, the middle-aged Confucian was very satisfied. Well, since Your Excellency said so, then I won't be polite.Alas, this time fortunately, Ling'er brought your senior brother back for a trip, otherwise I don't know how many people in my Zheng family's mansion will be murdered by this demon.

After speaking, the middle-aged Confucian got up and saluted with his fists, and the white-robed man didn't dare to hold it up, so he naturally stood up and saluted back.

"Uncle Zheng is too polite, I'm ashamed to say that the demon path is a little higher than me in the realm, so I didn't cut it under the sword this time."

"What? Then, if this person goes and returns, if he wants to take revenge, won't the hundred and ten members of my Zheng family die unexpectedly?" The middle-aged Confucian said with a pale face.

The man in the white robe was about to say something, when the silent woman on the side spoke.

"Dad, don't blame Senior Brother Wang, you don't know what happened to our monks.”

The middle-aged Confucian looked at his daughter who was anxious and wanted to defend the man, laughed, and did not speak, but his eyes were like knives, and he seemed to have cut through the woman's surface and saw through her true thoughts.

"Uncle Zheng can rest assured, although I failed to kill the demon Dao on the spot, but when he was leaving, I cast an extremely powerful two-wound spell, which has severely damaged this person's foundation. The white-robed man continued, relieving the woman's siege.

"Hahaha, my nephew said so, of course I don't worry, come, let's have another drink." The middle-aged Confucian smiled heartily and toasted again.

The man in the white robe raised his glass to greet him, and the two drank it all.

"We will stay in the mansion for a few days, one is to recuperate, and the other is to arrange a few magic circles for your mansion. The white-robed man said with a smile.

"Haha, that's very good, then Zheng Mou has thanked his nephew first." The middle-aged Confucian student was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately hugged his fists and thanked him.

The woman in the yellow dress saw that the two of them were talking very happily, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and the joy between her eyebrows was very strong.

Just as the woman in the yellow dress wanted to introduce the matter into the theme, there were a few neighing sounds of horses from the south, which caused several people to look up, but they couldn't see it clearly from too far, and they could only see a few horses galloping on the lawn from a distance.

"Shangliang horse is really not an ordinary thing, such a fierce horse, it is difficult for ordinary people to control." The middle-aged Confucian glanced at the galloping and neighing horse and sighed.

"If Uncle Zheng likes it, these two Shangliang horses will be given to you." The white-robed man said lightly.

"Oh, and how are you going to get back?" The middle-aged Confucian asked.

"I and Senior Sister Ling'er are both spiritual vein stage monks, and when we have cultivated to our realm, even if the sword flies all day long, it will be fine. The white-robed man explained.

"Oh, I see, since Senior Nephew Wang said so, then I'm not welcome." The middle-aged Confucian was more satisfied with the man in front of him, and immediately accepted this generous gift no longer politely.

It is rumored that Shangliang Horse was originally a boutique Xiliang horse of the Hu people in the west, and the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have many fine horses because of the Lingchuan land, so the Xiliang horse was introduced in large quantities, and then raised and bred in the north.

It is rumored that this horse is just a leisurely stroll. Now the war is tight, this horse is in short supply, and many dignitaries and nobles have money and can't buy one.

However, the horses in the south were neighing non-stop, and they were faintly running around, and there were also bursts of chaotic sounds from a row of houses nearby, even if they were so far away, the middle-aged Confucian and others could hear them clearly.

The girl in the yellow dress frowned slightly, and immediately cast a spell to release her divine sense to sweep the south, which made her shocked.

"What's going on?" Of course, the middle-aged Confucian noticed the expressions of the two and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that three uninvited guests came, and the horse farm was a miasma.Senior brother, you haven't healed yet, so stay here, just three hairy boys, dare to come to my Zheng Mansion to make trouble, and I'm impatient."

"It's okay, I'll be lazy this time." The white-robed man replied lightly.

The woman in the yellow dress smiled at her, then turned around and stared coldly at the south racecourse, snorted coldly, raised her willow eyebrows, pinched with one hand, and the white light on her body loomed, and the whole person disappeared into nothing.

Although it was not the first time that the middle-aged Confucian had seen this kind of thing, his eyes still flashed with shock, and wisps of envy floated out.
