At this time, it was already past noon, and Zhang Tong didn't feel hungry anymore because of an opportunity. Happily returned to the small courtyard where he lived, ready to study the gourd. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house, he found that the maid who brought him food yesterday was sitting at the table bored.

As soon as the maid saw Zhang Tong coming back, she immediately got up and greeted her, because they had a very happy conversation yesterday, they were a little less alienated, and said unceremoniously: "Where did the son go? ”

When Zhang Tong heard her, he couldn't help but look at the six side dishes on the table, as well as two plates of snacks and a small pot of wine, which were much more attentive than last night.

Originally, he didn't feel hungry, but when he saw the sumptuous meal, he immediately stirred up the Five Organs Temple. I was afraid that the maid would continue to get to the bottom of the matter, so she hurriedly took the initiative to make amends, saying that the master had something to do, and ordered him to do it himself, so she prevaricated. Then he didn't allow the maid to ask again, sat down directly, and no matter how cold the food was, he picked up the chopsticks and ate it.

The maid was immediately anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Son, wait, these are already cold, wait for me to go to the kitchen and prepare some new ones." ”

Zhang Tong is really hungry, from last night to now, nearly ten hours, his stomach has already been empty, he can't wait to fill his stomach immediately, he waved his hand to the maid, and said: "These are already very good, the girl doesn't have to bother." ”

The maid saw that he could not fight him, so she had to give up for the time being, sat down again, and waited until he had finished eating, and then chatted a few more words, and then packed up the food box and left.

Zhang Tong followed her to the outside of the hospital, and when she saw her walking away, she frowned, and couldn't help but be a thief, and sighed secretly: "Sure enough, I still let this little girl bump into it! I'm almost not here today, in case the incident happens in the east window in the future, Liu Tianwei investigates, I'm afraid it's a trouble!"

In fact, just now Zhang Tong wanted to give the maid more gold and silver and wealth to make her keep her mouth shut, but after thinking about it, he felt that this move was very inappropriate. After all, Zhang Tong and her only met in Pingshui, and the two sides had nothing to do with each other, so if she suddenly gave a heavy gift, wouldn't it make her even more suspicious.

Zhang Tong thought about it, and felt more and more bad, he had thousands of ideas in his stomach, but there was no perfect way to do it. And Liu Tianwei is not an ordinary person, there must be many unknown means. When he came out of retreat, if he found that someone had entered the secret room, he might not be able to find out.

For today's plan, the most haode way is to go up to the thirty-six plan, but if he runs away, it will be tantamount to not recruiting himself, and Zhen Yuandao will also be involved, I am afraid that this master-apprentice fate will also disappear.

Zhang Tong thought about it for a long time, but there was no perfect solution, but fortunately, Liu Tianwei retreated this time and specially invited Zhen Yuandao to come to help, and within two or three days, he would not come out, but there was no need to be in a hurry.

Zhang Tong thought of this, and he was also slightly relieved, seeing that the maid had gone away, he was about to turn around and go back. But at this moment, I suddenly heard someone calling, and I turned around to take a look, only to see a young man wearing white hanging plain walking out of a bamboo forest next to this small courtyard.

Looking at the young man's age, he is one or two years older than Zhang Tong, but his height is half a head taller, and his body is straight, like a green pine. Especially the facial features, he was also very handsome, Zhang Tong's skin was originally good, but this time it was compared.

When the man saw Zhang Tong coming by the prestige, there was naturally a look of pride on his face, and he was not in a hurry, and when he came closer, he showed a little reserved smile, and said lightly: "Brother Tai is the junior brother Zhang Tong who came with Uncle Zhen?"

Zhang Tong was slightly stunned, although he didn't like this person's arrogance, but he was not rude, and hugged his fists and said: "Below, I don't know your Excellency's surname?"

The man smiled indifferently, took a few steps forward, and said: "Under Liu Ziyu, thanks to my father Yu Yin, I have practiced Taoism for a few days, and I am loved by my friends, and I am usually called a little heavenly king." ”...,

Zhang Tong immediately understood that this person was most likely Liu Tianwei's son, otherwise he would not be so domineering, but the title of 'Little Heavenly King' was really a bit unbelievable.

Zhang Tong sneered in his heart, but he was silent on the surface, and simply picked him up. After hearing what he said, he was immediately overjoyed, and then bowed down and saluted, saying: "It turned out to be the Little Heavenly King! I have long heard of the great name of the Little Heavenly King, and when I see it today, I am really glad to meet it!"

Liu Ziyu was arrogant, and he didn't look down on Zhang Tong at all, but he just took Zhen Yuandao's face into consideration, so he came to meet him according to the etiquette. And in his heart, even Zhen Yuandao didn't pay much attention to it. thinks that Zhen Yuandao is nothing remarkable except for the longer cultivation time, if he reaches that age, his cultivation must be far from the same.

This time, Liu Ziyu heard that Zhen Yuandao had brought a disciple, so he wanted to try it, whether he was powerful or Zhen Yuandao's apprentice was better.

Zhang Tong didn't know that he was not good, although he didn't like it in his heart, he still wanted to be false and wronged, and after meeting him, he had to go to the courtyard to ask for help.

Liu Ziyu had already made up his mind that he wanted to share a high and low with Zhang Tong, how could he let it go easily, and immediately said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhang, don't hurry back to the house to talk, I have long heard that Master Zhen's cultivation is superb, and the junior brother has to inherit the Taoism, and he must also be the best in Taoism. How?"

Zhang Tong was slightly stunned, couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "What does this Liu Ziyu mean? Although starting from the master and Liu Tianwei, the two families are counted as world friends. But the two of us have never known each other, and we are still meeting for the first time, so we want to compete with me, which is not very friendly!"

Liu Ziyu saw Zhang Tong's face embarrassed, thinking that he was afraid, and even more arrogant, pretending to be generous: "Senior brother should not worry too much, say that it is just a discussion, I will point to the end, and I will not let my junior brother be injured!"

Zhang Tong saw Liu Ziyu's face in his eyes, and his heart became more and more disgusted, and he was shocked by his words, and almost agreed. However, Zhang Tong knew very well in his own heart that although he was Zhen Yuandao's apprentice, he had only been in the business for three months. If you are angry for a while, bite the bullet and accept it, you can only bring shame on yourself.

Fortunately, Zhang Tong is not really a young man, so he immediately pressed the anger in his chest, took a good time, and smiled: "The little king is serious! It's not that he doesn't want to compete with the little king, it's really that the little brother has not been getting started for a long time, and he hasn't gotten the true inheritance of the master yet, how dare he come out to offer ugliness, and ask the little king to forgive me." ”

This time Liu Ziyu felt embarrassed, Zhang Tong had already shown weakness, no matter how aggressive he was, he was out of grace. Besides, although he was arrogant in his heart, he didn't dare to really lose Zhen Yuandao's face, so he had no choice but to give up. After patiently greeting Zhang Tong a few more words, he was about to turn around and say goodbye, and then left the west courtyard and went straight to the back hall of the mansion.

Because of the back hall, all the people living in it are women, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Liu Ziyu is the son of the prince, so he didn't have these evasions, went straight through the hall and through the house, came to a flower hall, pushed the door and walked in.

There was no one else in the flower hall, only a beautiful woman who was shining brightly, leaning on a soft couch, was drinking tea alone.

The woman was covered with a brocade warm robe, and the begonias were like sleeping in spring, and she was lazy and charming. If Zhang Tong was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, it was actually a coquettish woman who was cheating with the old man at noon.

But at this moment, there is not the slightest frivolity on this beautiful woman's body. It seems that in the brightness, there is a bit of dignifiedness, which makes people can't help but give birth to a lot of intimacy.

Liu Ziyu entered the house, his face rarely showed a bit of youthful innocence, he smiled and took the woman's arm, and called "mother" sweetly.

The woman glared at him coquettishly, and then asked lazily, "Have you seen Zhen Yuandao's apprentice?"

Liu Ziyu nodded and said, "Well, the child has seen it, but it's just a stinky kid." It didn't take long to get started, and his cultivation should not be high, so he was invited to learn just now, but he didn't dare to agree. ”

The woman smiled meaningfully, and muttered, "Zhen Yuandao is usually the most face-saving, and it is quite difficult to come this time, how can he bring a useless disciple?"

Liu Ziyu said: "Mother, why worry too much, just send people to keep an eye on it these days, and he can't make any waves with his little cultivation." ”
