"Lao Xu, you shouldn't be serious. Zhang Han deliberately showed that he was very scared.

When the shopkeeper Xu saw Zhang Han's appearance, he couldn't pretend anymore, and said with a smile: "You are now a great benefactor of the people in the city, I don't dare to beat you, for fear of causing public anger." ”

"Don't mention this, I took a lot of effort to get here, and those people are so welcoming. Zhang Han couldn't help but shudder when he thought of everything he had just experienced.

"Haha, look at your kid's appearance, it's a lot stronger again. Five years ago, after you killed the young master of the Li family and left, the head of the Li family chased him out of the city. At that time, the commotion outside the city was shocking, and I thought you died at the hands of the head of the Li family. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for you to come back and burn the entire Li family to the ground. ”

"Am I not good here?" Zhang Han could feel that Shopkeeper Xu cared about him, just like an elder to a junior.

At this moment, the guy in the store brought fragrant dishes from the kitchen. These dishes were prepared by Shopkeeper Xu when he heard that Zhang Han had returned to Fengnan City, and he immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare them.

Shopkeeper Xu patted Zhang Han on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on, let's drink while catching up." ”

After speaking, Shopkeeper Xu turned around and took a jar of wine from the counter, and beckoned Zhang Han to sit down and drink together.

Shopkeeper Xu said hello to Tianlu, and after nodding his head, he said to the guy: "Go and set up a sign at the door and write that the store will not be opened today." ”

"Okay, shopkeeper Xu. The guy agreed, and went to do what the shopkeeper Xu explained.

After sitting down, Shopkeeper Xu first filled Zhang Han and his bowl with wine, and then asked, "Why didn't you see that girl come with you last time?"

"She left, to a far away place. Hearing Shopkeeper Xu mention Mu Yun, Zhang Han's expression suddenly became a little lonely.

When the shopkeeper Xu saw Zhang Han's appearance, he guessed what Zhang Han meant by 'she is gone', sighed, and said, "Let's not mention this, come, drink." ”

"Hmm. Zhang Han picked up the bowl of wine and touched it with the shopkeeper Xu, and drank it all.

Tianlu doesn't seem to like drinking, and he buries his head in eating the delicacies on the table, and he doesn't mix with the old memories of Zhang Han and Xu's shopkeeper. After all, it and Shopkeeper Xu only had a one-sided relationship five years ago, and they didn't have a deep friendship.

Zhang Han looked at the shopkeeper Xu's temples were already a little white, and there were a few lines in the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the years were really unforgiving.

This is why the vast majority of people want to cultivate the truth, the lifespan of ordinary people is only a few decades, while the lifespan of monks will increase because of the improvement of cultivation.

For example, if a monk in the Jindan period does not die accidentally, he can generally live to be about two hundred years old.

Zhang Han picked up the wine jar, first poured the bowl of the shopkeeper Xu full of wine, and then filled it with himself. sighed lightly and said slowly: "Lao Xu, I came to say goodbye to you this time. ”

Shopkeeper Xu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Why did you come to say hello to me this time, you didn't squeak with me before, and you disappeared for several years before you reappeared." ”

"Because I'm going to a far away place this time, and I don't know how many years will be before I come back here. ”

Hearing Zhang Han say this, Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but be a little reluctant to say: "I know that Zhang Orion, you are different from us ordinary people, you have great ambitions in your heart, and this small Fengnan City really can't trap you." ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Xu picked up the bowl full of wine, stretched his arm forward, and continued: "Although I don't understand the world of your cultivators, I have also heard that the road to cultivation is full of crises and is very cruel. I'm the shopkeeper of a tavern, and I can't help you, but I can only wish you success one day. ”

Zhang Han was also very moved when he listened to the words of the shopkeeper Xu, and couldn't help laughing: "Old Xu, when did you become so numb." ”

After speaking, Zhang Han had a smile on the corner of his mouth, picked up the big bowl, touched it with the shopkeeper Xu, and drank it all with his head up.

Shopkeeper Xu filled the bowl with wine again, and sighed: "I can't imagine that my old Xu can have a friendship with a monk, this is the proudest thing in my life." ”

"I'm glad to get to know you. ”

After speaking, Zhang Han took out the thank you gifts he had received from the people in the city from the mustard seed ring and placed them on an empty table.

"Lao Xu, these are the thank you gifts I received along the way after entering the city. None of this will do anything to me, so I'll leave it to you. ”

Shopkeeper Xu pushed back and said: "This is everyone's heart for you, how can I be embarrassed to accept it." ”

"If I tell you to take it, you will take it, or I will burn down your tavern with a fire." Zhang Han made a blank face and pretended to threaten.

Shopkeeper Xu couldn't push Zhang Han, so he had to agree to accept these thank-you gifts.

Zhang Han suddenly asked, "Old Xu, do you know where you can get the map of the Tenglong Empire?"

"I really don't know about this, but you can go to the Lu family in the south of the city to inquire, maybe there will be a result. ”

The Lu family in the south of the city is the second largest force in Fengnan City, but now it should be the first major force, because the Li family, which was the original first force, was abolished by Zhang Han and Tianlu.

The Lu family is the family of merchants in Fengnan City, and when the Li family was still there, they always liked to trouble the Lu family and ask for the Lu family's money. In desperation, the Lu family could only pay protection fees on a regular basis in exchange for a stable foundation in Fengnan City.

Fortunately, the Lu family is mainly engaged in business, and there is no conflict with the interests of the Li family, the overlord of Fengnan City, so the Li family did not suppress the Lu family too much.

Five years ago, after the collapse of the Li family, the biggest beneficiary in Fengnan City was the Lu family. Without the threat of the Li family, in the past five years, the Lu family has developed very rapidly.

However, the Lu family treats the people in the city really well, and they do not oppress the people like the Li family. On the contrary, he often assisted the people in the city who were living in difficulty, and won unanimous praise from the people in the city.

Zhang Han searched for information about the Lu family in his mind, and said thoughtfully: "Lu family, I'll visit the Lu family in a while, it's best if they have a map of the entire Tenglong Empire." ”

When the Li family was still there, the Lu family's performance was very low-key, and they didn't even dare to develop their power, but just did business in obscurity. Therefore, Zhang Han didn't know much about the Lu family, but he only knew that there was such a Lu family in Fengnan City.

Zhang Han chatted with the shopkeeper Xu about something else, and after saying goodbye solemnly, he walked with Tianlu to the Lu family in the south of the city.

But this time Zhang Han learned to be obedient and did not walk on the street with swagger. Instead, he wore a hat and walked on the trail.

Although he was not disgusted with the people in the city, nor did he mean to look down on them, the enthusiasm of those people really made Zhang Han a little unbearable.
