Chapter 65: Invitation
"Ha, it turns out that Zhang Zuoling is a relative of Lord Soniso who has been ordered to take it, so after taking it, he will go back to the capital to hand over the order?"
For the person who came, Chu Zhaonan did not have the slightest good look on his face, and his tone was full of coldness.
"Since Zhang Zuoling is so busy, Chu won't bother with you, so as not to delay the error, let's start here!"
As he spoke, Chu Zhaonan stretched out his hand and pointed to the screen, revealing the meaning of sending off the guests.
It's a pity that such a cold attitude can only have an effect on people who want face, and it has no effect at all on people with thick skin.
Even if Chu Zhaonan pointed his nose and shouted like this, the face of the person who came was still not angry at all, but smiled even more.
"Don't worry, Brother Chu. Although the younger brother brought an envoy here, he locked up a few civil officials and family members who did not know martial arts, and he had his own subordinates to do it. However, Lord Ao instructed the younger brother before he left, and after I came, I would change to the main seat of the Ximen League to listen to the dispatch, and I would not have to go back for at least a month or two. ”
Zhang Zuoling said with a smile, as if he didn't care about Chu Zhaonan's increasingly ugly face.
"In the next period of time, the younger brother is going to run an errand with Brother Chu, thinking so, he naturally wants to come over and get close to Brother Chu. ”
After saying this, Zhang Zuoling turned sideways slightly, looked in the direction of Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"These two are the masters of the Qingcheng faction, right? The younger brother Zhang Zhaozhong, who is the leader of the cavalry battalion of the Royal Forest Army, is uninvited this time, and I hope the two of you will forgive me. If there is anything between the two of you, if the younger brother can help, you only need to give an order, and the younger brother will never refuse. ”
"Zhang Zhaozhong...... It turned out to be the 'Fire Hand Judge' in person, and he really looked up for a long time!" Listening to the other party's self-report, Zhao Fan put on a thoughtful look and "recalled" for a while, then nodded and hugged his fists.
Of course, these "thoughts" and "memories" are all acting. In fact, when he heard Chu Zhaonan say the word "Zhang Zuoling", Zhao Fan had already quickly guessed the identity of the person in front of him.
"Firehand Judge" Zhang Zhaozhong. A Wudang traitor who has been left on Wudang Mountain and has not been heard from for several years. The martial arts scum that Wudang Elder Mu Daoren personally ordered to be killed was also one of the targets of Zhao Fan's trip to the Northeast.
Originally, Zhao Fan wanted to wait until two days later to find the traces of this person, but he didn't expect to be sent forward by him at this moment.
Seeing him like this, Chu Zhaonan's face sank, knowing that he couldn't let them get along anymore, otherwise the two allies he had managed to win over would have the possibility of being pried away by this summons, so he thought about it and said: "Okay, since Brother Zhang Xian came here on purpose, Chu Mou is not good at greeting him with a cold face, so let's stay and have two drinks with Chu." The two Taoist leaders have not been able to enjoy themselves today, please forgive me. When we have time in the future, how about we get together again and have a drink?"
"Well, that's fine. ”
Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan nodded, knowing that Chu Zhaonan didn't want the two to meet Zhang Zhaozhong, so they immediately got up and saluted, and then took their leave.
Under Chu Zhaonan's gaze, Zhang Zhaozhong didn't talk to the two of them anymore, but just smiled and arched his hand.
Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan also returned the salute, and when they came downstairs, the two of them found that because of Zhang Zhaozhong's shot, the entire first floor of the Drunken Immortal Building had already been in chaos.
The two of them looked around, only to see that there was no intact table and chair in the hall, and even the handrails used as barricades had been impacted by the huge force and had already broken inch by inch.
The two Praetorian Guard knights who had led the way to the two of them were now slumped into the walls of the hall on the first floor, and above their chests, a scorching palm power was still dissipated, and the iron frame made of fine iron was also melted out of a bright red palm print, and there was a sizzling sound under the palm print, and there was a strange smell of meat, and when I smelled it, it was actually the smell of burnt human flesh!
"It's ...... Fire Cloud Palm!"
Without thinking about it, Zhao Fan had already judged the palm technique between the two of them in an instant.
According to Zhao Fan's speculation, the situation at that time should have been unable to stop these two people, but they were blown away on the spot by Zhang Zhaozhong with a "fire snake spitting letter", smashing the railings of the tables and chairs in the store all the way, until they were finally nailed into the wall by the residual strength of the palm, which has the charm of "beating people like hanging paintings".
Of course, with the strength of Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan, it is easy to rescue these two people, but at this moment, there is no one around the two, but there are several Royal Forest soldiers standing with their hands on the hilt, seeing the two coming down from the upper floor, these soldiers suddenly looked over vigilantly, and their eyes were full of warnings of "don't be nosy", obviously because of Zhang Zhaozhong's orders, wanting to make the two ironclad knights suffer more.
Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan naturally didn't want to participate in this kind of internal strife between the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Army, so the two of them just looked at it twice, and immediately walked out of the building. When I came out, I found that the carriage I was riding in was already in the previous riot, and I didn't know where to go, and I wanted to go back to the building, but I could only rely on these two legs.
“...... Maybe I've been here for two days, but I haven't had a good look. Since it is known as the famous city of Saibei, it is quite prosperous, why don't we go and take a walk?"
Zhao Fan looked at Li Shengnan on the side, and made an invitation to go on a date without a trace.
In the barren pickle girl knowledge of the traverser, shopping together is also an important way to shorten the distance. As long as you have a good chat while shopping, it shouldn't be difficult to increase your goodwill a little. The only question is whether the other person will accept the invitation.
It's a pity that Zhao Fan is really not sure about this.
According to the experience of Zhao Fan's past and present lives, a young girl like Li Shengnan should always be interested in shopping, and theoretically "should" have a high probability of agreeing to this invitation. However, Li Shengnan is a Li Shengman after all, and he is by no means an ordinary woman, and it is naturally not appropriate to measure it with a general theory. Therefore, Zhao Fan was really a little apprehensive about the girl's answer.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for a positive reply to come from the side.
"Okay. The girl said softly, because of the cover of the light veil, Zhao Fan couldn't see the expression on her face.
"When we first arrived, we really had to take a stroll, and if there was a change in action in the future, we couldn't even find a way out. Even if it's for safety, you have to try your best to find out the terrain in the city. ”
Li Shengnan said, although his voice was soft and tactful, as pleasant as a yellow warbler, but the meaning of the words was incomprehensible, interpreting "dating" as "stepping on the point".
Was this intentional on her part, or did she simply not think of it?
If it's intentional...... Did she find out what I was thinking, or was she just trying to avoid it?
Listening to the girl's words, Zhao Fan couldn't help but feel a little entangled.
But no matter what, the girls have already spoken, and they can't say "let's not go" in the back......
In a word...... Let's say yes......
"Since you say so...... Zhao Fan sighed slightly, then took a deep breath and asked the girl beside him, "Where do we go first?"
"Of course it's the West Market!" replied Li Shengnan without hesitation.
"Xishi, why?" Zhao Fan asked suspiciously.
"Because the West Market is the closest to the West Gate, if something happens, it is most convenient for us to go out of the city from the West Gate and go south, so the topography of the West City must be grasped as soon as possible. ”
Li Shengnan said, slowly speeding up his pace.
"'Senior brother', let's hurry up, this afternoon, we have a lot of places to visit. ”
