Wucheng was over, Zhang Yongjie and the sick cat rode north. During this period, I thought about this incident, and I felt happy.

The sick cat sighed: "This Wang County Commander is fair in judging the case, and he is a good official." I think that my Ming Dynasty is strong and prosperous, and it is the time of prosperity. ”

Zhang Yongjie felt that this matter was going very smoothly, and suddenly remembered that the gray-clothed old man who appeared in the small restaurant at the pass of the pass, and pulled an official out before going out. The official took He Zhutou out again. When He Zhutou came back, the tone of his words changed abruptly.

Zhang Yongjie said at the moment: "Under the prosperous era, there is also a hidden crisis. I think this matter is going extremely well, and it must be the old man in gray who is secretly helping. ”

The sick cat nodded and said, "You mean the old man who wields a sword? This person is extremely capable, and he must be a master." Although he was dressed in gray, he wore brocade inside, and he was very particular about eating, and he was also a figure who spent a lot of money. ”

Zhang Yongjie nodded and said, "Yes, it is not a normal thing for this person to appear in the mountain tavern. Unexpectedly, the sick cat brother also observed the existence of this person. ”

The sick cat smiled softly and said, "Observing the surrounding environment is the basic skill of the cave. The old man was no one of the pools, but I couldn't guess where he came from. I don't know why he wants to help us in secret?"

Zhang Yongjie was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and said: "Maybe he was uneven and pulled out his sword to help, so he secretly informed He Zhutou and Wang Xianling of the ins and outs of the matter. But anyway"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie wandered for a while, and the sick cat asked, "What did Brother Zhang think of?"

Zhang Yongjie said: "Some people praise me, and some people secretly protect me." This is not for small profits, but for big plans. In this darkness, there must be a mysterious organization with great power, controlling all this. ”

The sick cat groaned for a while, and muttered: "Today's martial arts, the world's major factions are clear at a glance. That gray-clothed old man is extremely not simple, he can control this person to work for him, and the forces behind it must be extremely powerful, but I don't know which heroic man it is?"

Zhang Yongjie thought for a while, and then said: "There is only one thing that is certain, this group of people is definitely not the Tianhai Demon Sect. It's useless for us to think about it now, they'll come to me sooner or later, and if not, what is the purpose of what they're doing these things?"

The sick cat nodded yes, and the two of them no longer bothered about this matter. Riding a horse north, two days of effort, then rushed to Baoqing Mansion. It is now the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and it is the day when the legendary Lord of the Stove ascended to heaven to report on his work. Broadly speaking, from today onwards, it can be regarded as the New Year.

Zhang Yongjie said with a smile: "Passing by our thousand islands, I can't pass through the door three times without entering, and I want to go back to the master's door." My brother may wish to go with me, and let me do my best as a landlord. ”

The sick cat smiled: "I'm about to bother"

At that moment, the two crossed the West River ferry, crossed the drop bar market, and came to Crab Bay. Zhang Yongjie remembered Aunt Chen's family in Crab Bay, that Chen Dong is still detained in Dokdo, this Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are lonely, and after more than half a year, he should go to visit.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie took the sick cat back to the gap and bought many New Year's goods. There are food and drink, and there are also festive New Year's goods such as exploding rods. At that moment, the two of them took large bags of gifts and headed towards Crab Bay.

Crab Bay was already lively at this time, and two young girls were setting off a blasting rod at the entrance of the village, and there were bursts of noise from time to time. Another girl stood with her hands in her hands, watching the two of them play.

Zhang Yongjie looked at the two girls who set off the explosive rod from a distance, it was Ye Ling'er and Yang Lanlan, and it was naturally Liu Qingqing who was standing on the sidelines and watching. Zhang Yongjie immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Without me, you can laugh so happily?"

Ye Ling'er turned around and said happily: "Brother Zhang is back, I'll call Cousin Feichi." ”

That Liu Qingqing and Yang Lanlan saw Zhang Yongjie and the sick cat at this time, and saluted immediately. Liu Qingqing said: "Senior Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Yang Lanlan said: "Senior Brother Zhang, you are now developed, and you are already a well-known Qiandao Zhang Shaoxia, let me ride your wind-chasing horse." ”

Zhang Yongjie turned over and dismounted, and handed over the wind-chasing horse to Yang Lanlan. Yang Lanlan got on the horse and galloped, but felt that the horse was extremely fast and very happy. After running for a while, he came back and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, there is also the Blood Drinking Sword, borrow me to play with it." ”

Zhang Yongjie threw the Blood Drink Sword to Yang Lanlan, Yang Lanlan laughed and said: "At this moment, chasing the wind horse, the Blood Drink Sword is already in hand, who else can match the rivers and lakes?"

Zhang Yongjie smiled faintly: "I can't think of these things, the brothers and sisters of Qiandao know about it." ”

Liu Qingqing said at this time: "The storytellers in the city have told many things about you, Senior Brother Zhang, and the uncles and uncles are very happy to hear it. ”

Zhang Yongjie said: "How can I be so powerful, they are all those storytellers, who have nothing to do when they are full, and they make up some stories and exaggerate them, which hurts me." ”

Over there, Zhou Shaokun and Ye Feichi are also coming out, and the three brothers have been separated for more than half a year, and they are all very happy to meet again at this moment. After talking about each other, Zhang Yongjie knew that since the three of them brought Chen Dong to the first level. This week, Shaokun and Ye Feichi have not forgotten the two elders of the Chen family, and often come to Crab Bay to visit them. is about to start the year, so I also took a few days to come to the second family to get together, which was lively.

Zhang Yongjie nodded and said, "This is exactly what we should do." "At the moment, I will introduce the sick cat to all my brothers and sisters. Immediately, everyone came to Chen Yuan's house together.

At this moment, the two elders were already standing in front of the hall to greet and wait, and the printing station in front of the courtyard had already been cleaned. The so-called ink pad is a stone that rises above the floor. Generally, large families receive distinguished guests, and they will invite guests to walk past the printing pad to show their dignity.

Zhang Yongjie felt a sense in his heart, and immediately bowed down to the second elder, and said: "How can the kid He De, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen have received such a grand reception. ”

Chen Yuan hurriedly helped Zhang Yongjie up and said, "It should be, it should be." Mrs. Chen took Zhang Yongjie's hand and said, "Child, please get up quickly, how can this be done? You also brought a lot of gifts, you are the benefactor of our family, and when you come to our house in the future, it will be like coming to your own home, so you are welcome." ”

When everyone came to the hall, the tea was ready. The second elder sat on the main seat, and the rest of the people sat equally on the left and right.

Zhang Yongjie asked: "I don't know how this kid Chen Dong has been doing recently? This is also approaching the end of the year, let him go home and reunite with the second elder first." If he performs well, he will no longer embarrass him in the spring of the coming year, let him take the exam, or do something right, and give Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen a pension. If he is still obsessed, then he will continue to be imprisoned, and it will not make sense for this kid to reason with him. ”

Zhou Shaokun immediately nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

When Aunt Chen heard this, she was quite excited. Since Chen Dong was locked up, although Zhou Shaokun and Ye Feichi often come to the house as guests, after all, Chen Dong was born by himself, how could he give it up?

Zhang Yongjie remembered that Chen Dong had been talking about the trouble of owing money before, and he didn't know if this matter had brought any trouble to the second elder. At this time, listening to Chen Yuan's talk for a while, he knew that it was the crows of Cangcheng who borrowed money from Chen Dong before, but this matter had already been settled by Ye Feichi.
