Chapter 222: Visitation
Early the next morning, when the morning light first appeared, Xu Yang had already galloped on the official road leading to the outside of the pass.
After a night of deep thought, he decided to go to Guanwai to see if there were any more adventures.
Since Qianlong is not in the imperial capital, Xu Yang doesn't want to go to the palace to take a turn, without Qianlong, even if he visits the entire palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stimulate the system task, and the risk is a bit big.
Don't look at Xu Yang's skills have made great progress now, but his identity is too sensitive, if it arouses the vigilance of the Ouchi guards and thinks that he will be unfavorable to the royal family, it is difficult to say whether they will encircle and suppress him.
Good martial arts are not so prodigal.
As for Prince Hongday, naturally there is nothing to visit.
Not beating the water dogs is Xu Yang's criterion, not to mention such a poor prince who will be placed under house arrest in the mansion in the future.
Bullying this kind of royal family in distress has no sense of accomplishment.
As for Cai Xiaotian, Xu Yang wanted to visit him and ask about his mysterious master.
But the problem is, Xu Yang ...... I don't know how to go to him at all.
It has always been Cai Xiaotian who came to him, unilateral contact.
Cai Xiaotian is obviously not the queen mother's subordinate, at most he is a guest, and it is useless to go to the queen mother by himself, if he can't hold back in his heart, it will be even worse to cut this old lady.
After thinking about it for a while, in the entire imperial capital, except for Zhantong, there is no one worth visiting.
After thinking about it all night, Xu Yang decided that since this small world is the world of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", then he has to find clues from the source of the matter, from the legendary treasure of King Chuang, in case a task to search for a treasure is triggered.
Today's Xu Yang's desire for tasks is unprecedented.
Tasks mean points, and points mean his future happiness, as well as his grasp of the entire martial arts world in the future.
Before leaving, he instructed Zhuang Cheng to go to Zhantong's mansion again and bring all the remaining silver tickets, gold and silver to Zhantong.
In any case, it can be regarded as some reward for Zhantong.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Xu Yang left the imperial capital.
Walking alone, the speed will be very fast, plus he has no distractions, only a day and a half of hard work, he has already gone out for almost five hundred miles.
Looking at the sun setting in the west, there is no town in front of you.
Xu Yang was a little helpless in this vast and sparsely populated era.
You can't sleep in the wild, can you?
Although I am not afraid that there will be any tigers and wolves in the wilderness, but now this season, it will be really cold.
Suddenly I remembered, there seemed to be some familiar feeling here.
By the way, when he was tracking the Four Heroes of Southern Yunnan, after killing Situ Lang of the Flame Spear and He Tieming of the Golden Dragon Knife, he used to chase the flying bear Huang Chong and the fatal Golden Hook Fei Qing near here.
There must be a small village near here.
With the residual impression in his memory, Xu Yang searched all the way, walked a few miles, and sure enough, he found this small village in his memory next to a fork in the official road.
It is still the same, seventeen or eighteen dilapidated huts make up the main body of this village, adobe walls, thatched roofs, everything is completely unchanged from most of the year before.
Unexpectedly, after going around and around, I came back here.
I miss a little nostalgic for myself who didn't understand anything at the time, and was bold and reckless.
Up to now, if there are four opponents who are similar to him, or even higher, on the side, he will definitely not have any idea of killing them all.
Or the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, right?
Now it's only early winter, and the villagers are not hiding in the house like they did in the harsh winter, and most of them are wandering around in twos and threes, enjoying the last happy time before the harsh winter.
There were also some on the stove in front of their homes, teasing their evening meals, and when Xu Yang passed by them, everyone was full of curiosity about this outsider.
After all, it doesn't happen to their village often with outsiders.
Especially the guests who are wearing such expensive clothes, could it be the rushing merchants who missed the accommodation?
Someone tried to solicit this apparently lucrative business, but to their disappointment, although they were smiling, they all declined their kindness and went straight to the east of the village.
That must be looking for relatives, right?
The thatched hut, which was slightly larger than the surrounding houses, was the clearest house in Xu Yang's memory.
After all, he had stayed in that room for the night.
The door was open, but there was no one inside, and it was clear that the owner had gone out and had not returned.
Didn't he give Zhang Quan a dozen taels of silver at that time? It shouldn't have been spent so quickly, right?
I don't repair my own house.
At this time, a slightly bloated woman walked over, saw Xu Yang standing at the door of her house, and for some reason, her body trembled slightly.
Then she returned to normal and beckoned, "This guest, are you here to find someone?"
Xu Yang glanced back, the woman's dress was still clean, and if she didn't have a little rich without makeup, she could even be considered beautiful.
After glancing at Xu Yang, he looked away slightly, staring at people so directly, it was rude in this era.
"This sister-in-law is polite. Xu Yang arched his hand and asked, "I don't know if Brother Zhang Quan is here?"
"Oh, he's out. The woman looked a little wary, it seemed that she was a village girl who had not seen much of the world.
Then the woman's words made Xu Yang a little surprised.
"Do you have something to do with him? I'm his insider. ”
"Brother Zhang and I are old acquaintances, and I passed by today and came to visit him. I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for more than half a year, but he actually got married, haha. Xu Yang snorted, for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
Hearing that it was her husband's old acquaintance, the woman's face softened slightly: "Zhang Quan is still working in the field, and he is about to come back, guest, you go to the house and sit for a while, and I will pour you a cup of tea." ”
After that, Xu Yang was welcomed into the house.
Zhang Quan went to work in the fields?
Xu Yang couldn't believe it.
Although he and Zhang Quan could only be regarded as a one-sided relationship before, in Xu Yang's opinion, he was just an ordinary green-skinned idler, he definitely didn't have to run when he was lazy and slippery on weekdays, and it was probably very rare to work in the field, not to mention that if it was almost dark today, he hadn't returned home yet, which was a little strange.
But thinking that he has already married, I am afraid that he has grown a lot, and he should cheer up for his new home.
After entering the house, I glanced at it, except for the addition of some new quilts, everything else was not much different from half a year ago, the woman first hurriedly boiled some hot water, made a pot of tea that Xu Yang seemed to be of inferior quality, and then went to prepare dinner.
Xu Yang didn't pick either, drinking tea and waiting for Zhang Quan, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Quan, who was sweaty, to come back.
When he entered the house, he was stunned, and when he saw the people drinking tea under the oil lamp, he shouted out with great joy.
"Xu Xianggong, when are you here? Why don't you tell me, I'm going to have some food to entertain." ”
Xu Yang smiled, although Zhang Quan was a little lazy, he was still quite enthusiastic about his friends.
"Where can I use it, it's okay, I haven't asked you yet, why did you get married so quickly?"
