The dust settled on the matter of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and finally ended with the Kyushu Ding falling into the hands of Zhang Bairen, but everyone knew very well in their hearts that the matter was not over, and a bigger storm was still brewing. Zhang Bairen was chased and killed by hundreds of schools of thought in the desert, and things will never be settled like this, people who know Zhang Bairen know that this kid's sword will be retribution, and he will definitely not stop easily.

For example, right now, Zhang Bairen is sitting on the boat, thinking about the revenge later!

This matter must not be counted like this, Zhang Bairen has never suffered this kind of loss since he was a child, if he doesn't retaliate back, he won't sleep well.

Put away the Kyushu Ding, the three of them converged with the large army, did not stop in Zhangye, and a group of people drove the boat towards Zhuojun overnight.

Zhang Bairen sat on the cabin, looking at the clear waves under the water, lazily basking in the sun.

"So leisurely, how do you plan to take revenge and go back?" Yu Juluo came to Zhang Bairen and sat down.

"Naturally, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!" Zhang Bairen said without hesitation.

"I'm afraid that things are not as simple as you imagined, the gate valve family plus the various avenues, all the forces combined Your Majesty must be very careful, this kind of power combined is enough to subvert the rivers of the Great Sui" Yu Juluo patted Zhang Bairen on the shoulder: "You are still young, don't be rash." The power of the gate valve family is unfathomable, otherwise His Majesty would not be so jealous, and he would have uprooted the gate valve family a long time ago. ”

Zhang Bairen closed his eyes and breathed in the sun: "I don't know what Your Majesty will do." ”

"What Your Majesty does, you still have to cooperate with us in acting!" Yu Juluo smiled: "In short, your benefits are indispensable, and when you return the jade liquid to the Dan and practice the Yang God, you can find a place for yourself." ”

Zhang Bairen was silent for a while when he heard this, didn't say much, and continued to close his eyes and take a nap.

In this way, another half a month passed, and seeing the countdown of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Bairen and his party finally returned to Zhuo County.

"My wife and I said that you are in retreat and cultivation in the mansion, you don't have to say that you leak your mouth," Yu Juluo told Zhang Bairen.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything wrong" Zhang Bairen walked into the manor with a sword bag on his back, entered through the back door, came to the courtyard where Zhang's mother was, and said loudly: "Mother, the child is back! I heard that there were villains from outside the city, and the general was afraid that you would be frightened, so he specially took you to the city." ”

"You kid is finally out of the customs, and I thought you were going to come out after the New Year. ”

In the manor, Zhang's mother and Zhang Lihua were embroidering, looking at Zhang Bairen, who was in the dust, with a worried look in their eyes.

"My mother and Lihua are still used to living there," Zhang Bairen said with a smile.

"Where can I get used to it at home," Zhang's mother glared.

"Since the child is back, then let's go home" Zhang Bairen greeted and instructed the guards beside him: "Say hello to the general, and say that I am going home." It's the New Year, and you can't stay here. ”

When the guards heard this, they went to Tongbing, Zhang Bairen asked someone to prepare the carriage, and the group returned to Zhang's manor, and a group of colorful girls greeted them, who were the girls who Zhang Bairen redeemed in the drunken flower building.

Looking at the flowers in front of her, Zhang's mother was stunned, and Zhang Lihua glared at Zhang Bairen.

"Mother, these girls are all clever people, and they are children who are looking for to serve their mothers" Zhang Bairen smiled.

"I've seen the little boy, I've seen the master's mother" The girls were really clever and saluted one after another.

"As long as you have a lot of thoughts, arrange the girls" Mother Zhang nodded, and did not refute Zhang Bairen's words, which can be regarded as accepting this group of girls.

Zhang's mother walked in front, Zhang Lihua fell behind, grabbed Zhang Bairen's ear, lowered her voice and said, "Little guy, what kind of trick are you playing." ”

"It's all poor people in the drunken flower building, I redeemed myself when I softened" Zhang Bairen shook his head, his eyes full of embarrassment.

The New Year is approaching, the manor is happy, the red lanterns are hanging high, and the various forces in Zhuo County have begun to give gifts one after another.

Whether it is wine or pastries, they are all first-class products, the red satin hangs high, Zhang Bairen is dressed in purple satin, and the flowers are embroidered on it, which makes the girls' eyes extremely hot.

"This is a tribute in the palace, to the best embroidery in the palace, it will take a few months to cut out such a body, the queen is really good to you, remember to send you clothes for the New Year!" Zhang Lihua pulled the material on Zhang Bairen's body, the tribute in the palace is exclusive to the royal family, but not everyone can use it, even Shang Shuling and Situ can't.

"This year, the prince returned to heaven, the queen mother was too sad, fainted a few times, you can go to the capital to see if you have time" Zhang Lihua sorted out Zhang Bairen's collar.

"Got it" Zhang Bairen nodded: "After the year, I just want to go to the capital to meet the current Emperor of the Great Sui." ”

Seeing a group of girls in new clothes giggling in the water pavilion in the distance, Zhang Bairen tightened the bear skin on his body: "What do you say these girls think, they are not afraid of the cold." ”

"You have a lot of problems" Zhang Lihua pinched Zhang Bairen's little face: "During the Chinese New Year, Mr. Xiao is seven years old, Mr. Xiao is one year older, and the concubine is one year older." ”

"You don't look old with the Pearl of the North Sea, and you can't see the passage of time" Zhang Bairen chuckled: "Don't worry, I have obtained many secret techniques from the ancient country of Loulan this time, and there will definitely be a way to help you." ”

As he was talking, a girl came over and said, "Master, the master mother called you over." ”

"Got it" Zhang Bairen stood up and patted Zhang Lihua: "Don't think about it, I'll talk to you when I come back." ”

Zhang Bairen came to Zhang's mother's courtyard, and the surrounding qi fluctuated, hiding the masters of the leading battalion, who were constantly guarding secretly.

There is nothing to say about the layout in his own manor, Zhang Bairen has made meticulous arrangements, and there are more than a dozen hunting dogs in the manor, and it is more difficult for someone to mix in than to ascend to the sky.

Walking into the house, Zhang's mother sat on the chair with her eyes closed, sitting quietly and silently.

"Mother!" Zhang Bairen shouted.

Mother Zhang opened her eyes, looked at Zhang Bairen, who was dressed luxuriously, and said expressionlessly: "You come with me!"

After speaking, he got up and walked out.

Looking at his wife's serious face, Zhang Bairen suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, which made his mother angry.

Entering the wing room, looking at the furnishings in the house, Zhang Bairen's scalp is troublesome, when did his wife get so many tablets?

Dense, the vermilion rows are arranged in an orderly manner, and the vermilion Ding furnace is placed below.

"This is the ancestor of my Zhang family, you kneel down and burn incense!"

Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly, the ancestors still have to kneel expensive, and the cheap ancestors are also the ancestors.

After burning the incense, Zhang's mother did not ask Zhang Bairen to stand up, but said, "Do you remember what my mother said to you before?"

"What words?" Zhang Bairen was stunned.

"Mother wants you to be admitted to the first department and get a civil and military exam!" Zhang's mother glared at Zhang Bairen.

Zhang Bairen was stunned, the saying that there is a history of lifting people, and I personally understand that there was no imperial examination before the Sui and Tang dynasties in ancient times, and the employment of talents was recommended by the various gate valve families, and after the imperial examination, as long as you go through many examinations and reach the level of 'lifting people', you can be an official, and the status is equivalent to the recommendation of the gate valve families, and its talent is enough and the people recommended by the gate valve families.

"Mother, you can understand that you asked me to take the top prize, but what the hell is the martial arts examination? I haven't heard anyone say that the imperial court is going to open the martial arts examination!" Zhang Bairen scratched his ears.

"This is your grandfather's personal calculation of the heavenly machine back then, there will be absolutely no mistake, you just do it! I called you here today to remember what your mother said to you, don't forget!" Zhang's mother glared at Zhang Bairen: "You have been obsessed with martial arts these days, but you have fallen behind in your homework." Whether it's martial arts or Taoism, it's just a small way, as long as you enter the court, all the talented people in the world will drive you to drive you, you must not be distracted, just practice martial arts to strengthen your body, don't delay the Tao!"

Listening to Zhang's mother's words, Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly, why did his mother look down on martial arts and outsiders so much.

However, he really didn't have the courage to argue with Zhang's mother's words, so he could only take it sullenly and keep nodding his head.

"It's good to know! It's good to know! Martial artists fight with people, and those who kill people will always kill them, and sooner or later they will die in battle, or they will be more at ease as officials" Zhang's mother said secretly in her heart.
