"Now, where are we going?"
The young man led the little donkey along the stream of people towards the city gate, suddenly at a loss.
If not for the fact that her Zhang Family was powerful and she was worried that they still had other tricks up their sleeves, she would not have left in a hurry. He had previously thought that everything would be fine once he got to the county. In the future, it would be easy to find somewhere else to work, but if he really left, then he wouldn't be able to find his way.
"To the north. "To sightsee along the way." Ren Ang didn't have the slightest hesitation. His root was in the Northern Forest, so he should be able to grow even faster by returning to his homeland to absorb spiritual energy. Of course, it was also not bad to encounter any Spirit Ware or treasure on the road to be used as one's own. It was also good to take a look at this mountain, river, and wind object along the way.
"Alright." He trusted his husband unconditionally, and soon he was happy to climb the donkey again.
Not long after they left, Chief Steward Li brought his follower to Wan Shou Village. He was here to inquire about the Tian Family's daughter and the origin of that so-called fiancé. Maybe someone else was impersonating him? It was always good to be cautious, so as to not get into an unpleasant situation with the Assistant Minister Ren.
"Master Li, we're here. This is the house of the young man." "At the entrance of the village, they met an enthusiastic villager who led them to the foot of the mountain. He pointed to a wooden house halfway up the mountain." Zhang Family have sent people to guard the mountain. Usually, other than secretly collecting firewood, we don't dare to rashly go up the mountain … " The villager rubbed his hands and mumbled.
Li Wei casually swept a glance at them before raising his hand to signal his retainers to pass on the bounty. After the villagers received a few copper coins, they happily thanked everyone and left.
Li Wei was not afraid of Zhang Family at all. Unexpectedly, they didn't meet any of the legendary vicious mountain watchers on the road. Instead, they smoothly arrived in front of the unremarkable wooden house.
In his heart, Chief Steward Li was convinced that there was something wrong with the Tian Family's daughter's background.
Such a shabby house was barely able to shelter from the wind and rain. If it snowed too much, it might collapse. The house was practically ruined and there wasn't even a decent piece of furniture. Such a poor family, where did Duke Xinyang get such confidence from to confirm that the Tian Family's daughter was a good person? Even if Aunt Shen referred to him as a Heavenly Immortal, Duke Xinyang did not seem like someone who was easily controlled by others.
Then, they definitely had to have a reason to get married.
As Li Wei recalled the girl he had caught a glimpse of on the street the day before, he had a vague idea of what was going on.
The Hou clan is so secretive … With such a big mess, should he report it to the matriarch and take a pinch out of the house of the Marquis? By the way, I can also sell it to the Assistant Minister Ren …
"Why not? Master clearly calculated that it was this place a few days ago! "
A berating voice came from the back of the house, interrupting Li Wei's train of thoughts.
"Who's making a ruckus here!" Li Wei's attendant immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Your grandfather is here! Where did you get that little thief? "Don't you know that this mountain has been completely taken care of by our kind man, Zhang Dazhi!?" A loud voice rang out like a gong. Very soon, a tall and muscular man walked out from the hall of the wooden house.
Watch your mouth!" How can you say that! " Lee Family's follower was also not a pushover, and immediately refuted. Normally, they were rather reserved in the capital and were not as domineering as the other aristocratic families. However, in a place like this, could it be that they were going to be rashly rebuked by a middle-aged man? Immediately, a servant walked up and gave the large man a few large slaps.
The other party reached out too quickly, and the big man didn't react in time. When the other party stopped and retreated five steps away, he realized that his face was burning. Only then did he realize that he had been hit!
With a "ao" sound, that man's face turned red and purple. He immediately charged forward with the intention of getting back at him! He even shouted, "Brother-in-law! Someone had come to take the treasures! Come, quickly, let's capture a few of them and teach them a lesson! "
When he heard his concubine's disappointing little brother voice, he became even more anxious. With a wave of his hand, he brought a large group of people, who were searching for treasures on the mountainside, and squeezed their way to the front yard with tools.
Looking at their postures, the few attendants from Lee Family were a little nervous. They secretly thought to themselves: Could it be that I have met a bandit? Why is there a hoe with a shovel?
Li Wei, on the other hand, was quite at ease. He found a wooden block for himself to sit on and had a good bearing.
Master Zhang walked out of the house and discovered that it was a regular customer. He immediately smiled and cupped his hands towards the other party, "I didn't know that Master Li would arrive, I, Zhang, have come to receive you! I hope Master Li can forgive me. " He looked at the big bloke next to him, who kicked him in disdain, "What are you shouting for!?" This is Master's guest! "Hurry up and go back to tell the butler that your esteemed guest will stay the night!"
The big bloke immediately shriveled up and hid behind his neck. Then, he glared at the lively Zhang Family servant and the worker viciously before running off.
"He's just an ignorant servant, please forgive him, Master Li." Only then did he realize that he was not just going to his own house, he was fine with anything, only the tea and snacks brought up the mountain by his family's servants for him to enjoy. Maybe they were all cold now, how could they be used to entertain guests? He immediately felt unlucky and enthusiastically invited Housekeeper Li to his house.
"It's fine." Li Wei smiled and shook his head. "I came here to inquire about something."
Master Zhang's heart skipped a beat: Could it be for that treasure? If the other party were to ask for it, wouldn't it mean that I wouldn't be able to obtain any benefits? When he thought about it again, he realized that he hadn't managed to find any treasures, so he wasn't worried about the other party snatching them away. He calmed down a little.
"Master Li, what do you want to ask? Do you know or not!" Master Zhang proudly patted his chest.
After a quarter of an hour, he asked what he wanted to know. Li Wei declined the invitation from Zhang Family and walked down the mountain.
Master Zhang looked at the few figures that left, his gaze slightly gloomy.
"Master, what is the purpose of Master Li inquiring about the matters of the Tian Clan?" The three stewards of Zhang Family stepped forward and covered the old master with a rabbit-hair shawl, reminding him in a small voice.
"Humph!" What was the point? "He probably has taken a fancy to that Tian Clan girl!" Master Zhang snorted in disdain. The Tian Family's girl was indeed pretty … He narrowed his eyes slightly, the color of his face rippling.
The three stewards grinded their teeth, wishing they could knock out this old man's donkey head! See if it's filled with bean curd!
"Master, we've been digging here for a few days now, but we've come up empty-handed. Do you think that the Tian girl would have taken the treasure away? After all, Old Man Tian and his son had traveled to this part of the mountain together quite often. Who knows, the treasures were already taken by the Tian Clan long ago? "
His words woke the dreamer up! The Master Zhang was suddenly enlightened, he fiercely clapped his hands and —
"This is bad!" It had to be like this! Why did she leave in such a hurry? In this winter and winter, she had no relationship in the countryside, yet she didn't seek refuge with her uncle. Where did she get the money to leave? Fast! Hurry up and get someone to chase that girl! The rest of you, continue digging around here! "
It had to be said that this brain-damaged brain was very magical, that Zhang Family was actually able to correctly guess the truth of the matter.
Tian Hemiao and her group had not even left Longevity County, and someone had already set their sights on them.
