C98

Zhang Zhou and Yun Feng were both used to jokes, and were not the least bit dissatisfied with being rebuked. They gritted their teeth and retaliated, "Oh? Your temper has risen? He dared to speak to me like that after being a curator for just a few days? Do you believe that I won't withdraw the research fees from your infirmary? "

Yun Feng's eyes widened.

"You dare? That's two different things. Besides, this is something that Madam Jade agreed to. It doesn't matter if you say so! "

However, it was clear that he wasn't as confident!

Guan Yuniang said in a gentle voice, but it was a bit of a scolding, "Little boat, don't be rude to this Taoist! This Taoist has suffered a lot these past few days! "

He turned to Yun Feng and said, "Dao leader, don't make things difficult for Little Boat! Otherwise, Yu'er and I would be unhappy! "

"Uh, okay, okay. Hehe, this humble Taoist definitely listens to the words of Madam Jade. You can call me whenever you want, no problem!" For your sake, I won't make things difficult for him. "

He then added worriedly, "Madam Jade, you have to be more careful when it comes to big matters. Don't listen to this brat's words!"

Finished, she glanced at Zhang Zhou, "What can you do to me!" The look in his eyes.

Then, as if there was no one else present, the old scholar and He Wu subconsciously took a step back to give way. Yun Feng reached out to grab Tang Jiu's wrist and lightly tapped on his wrist. Tang Jiu instantly felt a wave of warmth flow into his body, greatly alleviating his injuries! Tang Jiu was about to thank her when Yun Feng retracted his hand. He didn't even look at him as he walked back to Guan Yuniang's side and politely said, "This humble one likes to talk nonsense with your husband. Don't take it seriously. Besides, you are pregnant, so you can't be in a hurry, do you understand?"

Guan Yuniang's face blushed as she nodded in agreement! Zhang Zhou jumped over and grabbed the old Daoist by the arm. He asked with a look of disbelief, "What did you say?"

"What do you think the old Daoist is doing here?" Isn't it because your wife is happy! "

Zhang Zhou's eyes widened. He didn't care if there were others around. He turned around and jumped in front of Guan Yu-niang with both hands holding her arms. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. His eyes were misty with tears! Ignoring her shyness, he pulled her into his arms and sobbed, "Wife, you've worked hard!"

Seeing Zhang Zhou being so rash and careless, Yun Feng, who had been unable to intervene, reminded him, "You brat, pay attention. Don't be careless!"

Seeing the happy and sincere expressions of the family, Tang Si Niang could not help but have a strange feeling in her heart! He was shocked to find that it was actually a trace of jealousy!

Right now, even though Zhang Zhou was crying and laughing in a very sorry state, Tang Si Niang and the others didn't dare to take him lightly. When cards that even the old scholar was uneasy about appeared, how could they be qualified to laugh at them!

Guan Yu-niang stopped Zhang Zhou from showing her appreciation to the whole world. She shyly bowed to the others and said that she would like to go back to her room to change. Zhang Zhou wanted to follow her, but Guan Yu-niang ordered him to stay behind to entertain the guests. He rubbed his hands together and paced around for a while, then said with a face full of joy, "You guys are my guests. I'll do something tonight. Let's have a cup of wine together!"

There was no need for Tang Si Niang and co. to agree, they turned to Daoist Yun Feng and said: "Old Daoist, madam does not want to make it public, let's keep a low profile. Tonight, everyone in the mansion has been called, it's a huge commotion!"

Yun Feng nodded his head and said, "How about we eat hotpot?"

"Sure! I must drink to my heart's content tonight! "

He turned around and said to You Nan and Yang Xiaoluo who were also filled with excitement, "Call my uncle, aunt and your wife over! Xiao Lang, go call the entire Lin family and Xiao Liu over! "Oh, and Old Ding's family members too!"

He then shouted out to the courtyard outside, "Leaves, Leaves!"

Not long after that, a young girl in her teens ran in and scolded him, "Master, can you lower your voice a little? If the young mistress is startled by your shouting, I'll scare the great matriarch. There's something you can see!"

Zhang Zhou nodded his head apologetically: "Alright, alright, master understands. Send someone to the Manor quickly and bring back Little Mistress and Guan Xiaolou! Wang Tieshou, Dong Da, and Yang Jiu also called out! The lord is treating tonight! Also, call your little bookshelf over as well! "

Leaves blushed and said, "Ignore the old master!" Then he ran out like a sparrow!

Zhang Zhou thought for a moment before saying, "Erniu, go and get Chen Huaijin and Li Shuting!" Erniu also ran out! Just as Zhang Zhou was thinking about who else to call, a hearty laugh came from outside.

"Master Hou, you're back. Why didn't you tell this parent to me?" He Prefecture's political governor, Tang Wenxuan, followed by Zhou Ru.

When they entered the city, Zhang Zhou was covering his face with his hands, whereas Yang Xiaoluo and Erniu were not. Someone had long noticed and reported to the two sirs that the god of Hezhou, Zhang Zhou, had returned. Tang Wenxuan's gratitude to Zhang Zhou was boundless. The Ministry of Public Affairs had already sent a letter, because of his outstanding political achievements, especially his praises and recommendations. He would soon become an official in the capital, so how could he not be grateful? He was determined to get old age here. Upon hearing that Zhang Zhou had returned, the two of them immediately rushed over. They met halfway and entered the residence together!

After the old scholar learned of the two's identities, he observed their every move and action. He was very certain of this! It could be said that Zhang Zhou was the uncrowned king of Hezhou! This level of capital was enough to allow them to reposition themselves and interact with Zhang Zhou! However, now there was a worry that Zhang Zhuo would give him face!

When Tang Yu'er flew into Zhang Zhou's embrace like a little Yan'er, her eyes were red and her voice was filled with grievance: "Hubby! I missed you! "

If there weren't so many people present, their legs would probably have been coiled around Zhang Zhou's waist, and Zhang Zhou wouldn't have known it either. He hugged Tang Yu'er and said.

"Darling, don't drink too much tonight. Tonight, your husband will use actual actions to tell Darling how much I miss you!"

This bottomless operation directly shamed Tang Yu'er away. This shocked the entire room into complete silence! Tang Si Niang, who felt that she was bold and experienced, felt her delicate face was burning as she stared at her toes with all her might! In his heart, he scolded, "This Zhang Zhou is really a bad person to the bone!"

That night, the heads of the businesses in the Nine Prefectures had been drunk for who knows how many times! Initially, the old scholar and the others did not drink at all. Drinking in such an unfamiliar environment was definitely a taboo for assassins!

However, when Ding Qi placed the jug of wine in front of the old scholar, the old scholar, without the slightest hesitation, took the initiative to fill a cup for Ding Qi, poured himself a cup, and then drank it all down in one gulp. Then, without saying a word, one cup of toast, one cup of wine, and only after drinking three jugs did Ding Qi pick up the fourth jug and voluntarily pour a cup for the old scholar.

"Let go of everything today and drink! And how does it feel to be drunk, to have a taste of the real Hezhou? "

The aroma of the wine had long caused their resistance to become unbearable. Since the teacher had said this, they no longer held back and directly opened a jar. It wasn't that they didn't want to drink to their heart's content, but they only had one jar by their side.

Just then, Zhang Zhou leisurely walked over with two jars of He Zhou Lie, smiling as he pushed the jar of wine into their arms. The most genuine and truest He Zhou Lie will be punished ten times! "

Then, he staggered away and started drinking. Tang Yu'er didn't remind him, but rather let him enjoy it as much as he wanted.

The next day around noon, Zhang Zhou was woken up by Tang Yu'er, who had long since lost her patience and refused to wait any longer. If Guan Yu-niang wasn't with him, Zhang Zhou probably wouldn't have missed this day. opportunity.

Zhang Zhou invited Tang Si Niang and the old scholar to the study room for a detailed discussion.

"Old mister, did you rest well?"

"Very good, I've troubled the marquis!"

"Don't worry about it. I don't even need to pour water for you personally. Since you can live in my residence, you can consider it a blessing!"

"Your Lordship is too polite. Your Lordship has given me too many unexpected surprises in the past two days!"

"The things that should surprise you the most are the Old Daoist and Old Ding, right? They are not my servants, so you don't have to worry about them. I, Zhang Zhou, am unable to restrain them.

The old scholar nodded slightly. This was something he deeply understood. He had also seen many of the powerful figures' families, but this feeling was completely different. Furthermore, he would not believe the words "cannot be restrained" to be true.

"Boss Tang, why are you so quiet?" Have you finished talking on the way? "

Tang Si Niang was previously a bit absent-minded, but after hearing his words, she unconsciously let out an "Oh" and realized that she had lost control of herself. She couldn't help but blush.

"Master Hou must be joking. It was indeed Hezhou that was stirred up. There are too many unexpected things!" It's a bit hard to digest! "

"I'll slowly get used to it!"

"Ah?" "Slowly?"

"Hahaha, what I mean is, in the future, Boss Tang can buy a house in Hezhou! With such a beauty like Boss Tang, if she were to stay in Hezhou, she would definitely bring more charm and charm to Hezhou! Of course, this matter is up to you. I am ashamed of my own appearance, and I know that I do not please Boss Tang, but the investment environment in Hezhou is still quite good! "

When the old scholar heard this, he could only lower his head and smile bitterly. Seeing Tang Si Niang being humiliated, Zhang Zhou felt extremely good! Zhang Zhou took out a large envelope containing the Nine Regions Business Contract.

"This is a contract that my wife proposed again. Every month, you have to supply it to Hezhou Lie at Longzhou, and increase it to 20,000 Jin!" This was his limit! "Also, I plan to start a trade in Longzhou. When that happens, I hope that I can receive the care and support of Boss Tang!"

Zhang Zhou began to talk about the business seriously, to the point that it made Tang Si Niang feel a little disappointed. After seeing Zhang Zhou's two wives, he was no longer so confident about his own beauty! He slowly said to himself, "No problem!"

"You guys go south. If you don't leave the river, you can find the Nine Prefectures for water transport! I should be able to give you guys a little help! "

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" "Since Boss Tang doesn't believe in oaths, then we will sincerely cooperate. We believe that one day, we can move each other's heart and be honest with each other!"

"I hope so!"

"Oh right, Old Ding told me that Old Ding should be an expert swordsman, but I could not see through it! However, after hearing what he said, I do have a gift for you, Sir! "

He took out a delicate box from behind the table and handed it to the old scholar. The old scholar didn't bother with pleasantries. He took the box and opened it. Inside was a simple three-foot-long sword.

The old scholar did not pull out his sword, but looked at Zhang Zhou and said, "Ninth Brother said that he had witnessed the sparring in the tavern that day. He confirmed that your blade was not of ordinary quality, but unfortunately, he did not have the chance to look at it carefully! This old man wants to know how does the treasured sword compare to? "

"I have never tried, so there is no need for old mister to have high expectations, but I believe that I will absolutely not disappoint you, and that I should be worthy of you! However, he couldn't accept the gift for nothing! The female expert of my family would like to try a few moves with the old mister! "

It was only when the four of them boarded the boat and left Hezhou Pier that Tang Siniang asked about the situation. The old scholar did not immediately reply. Instead, he took out his treasured sword and looked at it! He did not mention the test of the sword that no one was watching! However, he said meaningfully, "If it's a competition a few years later, this old man might really be too embarrassed to accept this sword!"

Soon after, the old scholar joked to Tang Jiu, "Even in ten years, you might not be Zhang Zhou's match! If teacher is wrong, I'll give you this sword! "

"Teacher, it's a deal!"

After exiting the city, Tang Jiu, who saw the sword's true appearance once, was very excited! The old scholar began to quietly ponder again. During the match with the swordswoman, he had allowed three sword strikes, attacked her without unsheathed swords, and seriously sparred with her seven moves before finally defeating her!

However, things did not end like this. Soon after, Zhang Zhou came out with a shamelessly wanting to test his saber. A person who could not even defeat his own disciple, trying his own saber would be a joke, but after receiving his disciple's treasured sword, he could not refuse!

He ordered Zhang Zhou to attack three times! After gesturing for a long time, Zhang Zhou asked him to release some of his killing intent and told him that he had already informed Old Daoist and Old Ding that he would be fine. He did as he was told. In the instant that he released his killing intent, he saw three sword strikes that were each more shocking than the last! Zhang Zhou's saber could not hurt him at all! However, those three slashes truly gave him a mysterious feeling!

He had been secretly observing Zhang Zhou for a long time. He was certain that he did not have any form of Qi. However, Zhang Zhou's three blades contained a spiritual power, which shocked him.

Zhang Zhou was also straightforward. It was only because he knew he had a child that he could feel this kind of feeling. He could not tell what it was. At the moment, only the three most familiar moves could display this feeling.

Practicing martial arts required hard work, but to go further, one needed perception. And to reach a higher level, one needed a lucky chance! Zhang Zhou had great diligence and comprehension. Although he did not have the foundation of an inner force martial arts technique and his achievements were limited, it was definitely not easy to comprehend this level. The key point was that the old scholar had seen through his potential!

The old scholar didn't give an evaluation of Zhang Zhou's sabresmanship. Instead, he gave some guidance and gave a few words of guidance to him. This was also the reason why when Zhang Zhou saw her off, he had called her "Senior Sister, have a pleasant journey"!

Zhang Zhou did not send the old scholar and his entourage away. Instead, he went to He Zhou Prefecture to discuss the preparations for the meeting with Tang Wenxuan; then he went to the manor to examine the various departments and ask some questions; he also had some exchanges with the people of the Western Tribes. Because Ma Heizi and Hawke did not know where they had gone for their special training, they did not see anyone.

After five or six days of hard work, he had finally settled the matter. He wrote a few more letters, one of which was to ask Ping Wang to come to Hezhou to help maintain the progress of the reunion. This would be beneficial for Ping Wang's reputation! Another secret letter, get Old Yellow to work with Feizi to arrange for the infiltration of the town. Then, he led the way back to the Dragon Continent!
