Zhang Ran sat on the second floor of the restaurant and ordered two side dishes and a small pot of wine. He drank the wine and ate the side dishes, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.
The wine in this world is very similar to the fruit wine in the previous life. There is no very spicy wine, that is, white wine. Of course, it is possible that Zhang Ran has not drunk it yet.
After Zhang Ran killed eleven warriors, he came to the restaurant. He had not eaten since morning, and Zhang Ran was already hungry.
However, Zhang Ran looked at the World of Warcraft interface and was pleasantly surprised. The eleven people Zhang Ran killed, two at the bone refining level and ten at the strength refining level, suddenly increased Zhang Ran's proficiency a lot. , the proficiency level is not much different and you can upgrade it to another level.
But what makes Zhang Ran even more happy is that with so much silver, he now wants to buy a powerful Warcraft skill. Then he looked in the skill mall, mainly looking at skills worth more than two thousand taels of silver.
Zhang Ran searched for a long time and finally found a skill he liked, which was to summon pets.
Summoning a pet is to tame the beast as your own pet and summon it to fight.
Summoning pets is different from other skills. Summoning pets has levels. You can subdue five pets at the first level.
There are powerful beasts in this world. Zhang Ran once read a book, which recorded all kinds of powerful beasts. Even if a warrior confronts him, there is no possibility of victory. Those powerful beasts can even fight against powerful warriors. match.
Zhang Ran directly spent 2,500 taels of silver to buy the summoned pet.

Next, Zhang Ran was going to find a powerful beast, but Zhang Ran really knew a piece of news. This was obtained when he was in Hulu Village. At that time, the magistrate of Qiantang County summoned hunters from each village to go to Qiantang County.
Zhang Ran didn't know the reason at first, but after arriving in Qiantang County, Zhang Ran learned the reason from rumors in the market. Because a big snake appeared on the outskirts of Qiantang County and swallowed many people, the county magistrate summoned hunters from each village. Just to hunt and kill this big snake, but this big snake is too elusive, and the big snake has not been removed until now. However, for the sake of human life, the county magistrate has sent people to seal off that area.
I looked for an opportunity to go to that place and tamed the big snake.
After settling what he was thinking, Zhang Ran concentrated on eating side dishes and drinking wine.
While admiring the scenery outside the window.
"Have you heard? The princess of the Ming Dynasty has a competition to find a bride."
This sentence attracted Zhang Ran. Princess Ming's contest to recruit a bride was rare, so Zhang Ran wanted to hear what was going on.
Then Zhang Ran looked at the table next to him while eating.
There were three people sitting on that table. One was wearing Confucian clothes and looked like a scholar, the second was a warrior wearing black uniforms, and the third was a young man. He fanned himself with a white fan from time to time, showing a picture. Chic look.
It was the young master who said this.
"I've never heard of it, where did you hear it from?" the warrior said.
"My sister is the county magistrate's concubine. The county magistrate said it to my sister personally. It cannot be false." The young master said.
"If a princess is looking for a bride, generally speaking, isn't the princess looking for a bride in the capital of the country? But according to your opinion, the princess will be looking for a bride in Qiantang County." The Confucian scholar obviously understood very well, and he also heard the hidden meaning in his words, and said.
"This time is different. This time His Majesty is selecting a consort for Princess Yongchun. Your Majesty likes Princess Yongchun the most, so this time the whole country is selecting a consort for Princess Yongchun. The way to recruit a consort is to use force to recruit a son-in-law." The young master said:
"Because our Qiantang County is a large county in Jiangnan Prefecture, Qiantang County also has a competition arena for recruiting consorts. After Qiantang County selects the strongest one through martial arts, it will go to the capital to formally participate in the selection of consorts. I heard that after arriving in the capital, there will be more than just martial arts competitions. Only those with complete civil and military skills can become the prince-in-law." Later, the young master talked in detail about the process of becoming the prince-in-law.
"That's it." The Confucian scholar didn't have the slightest doubt about what the young master said. After all, the young master was the most informed among the three of them. After the Confucian scholar heard this, he found that choosing a prince-in-law was more difficult than imagined, even comparable to the imperial examination. , only one can be selected among tens of millions of people, but the Confucian scholar has a doubt: "But I didn't see him appear in the ring in Qiantang County."
"There will still be more than half a month before the official recruitment of a son-in-law by martial arts will begin, and then the construction of the arena will begin." The young master told the time accurately.
The Confucian scholar nodded suddenly, indicating that he understood, but after all, he was only a Confucian scholar. He could do it with literature, but not with martial arts, so he couldn't participate in recruiting a son-in-law with martial arts.
"What's the good thing about being a consort? You can only have one woman in your life, the princess, and the princess is a child of the royal family. We are just common people. We will not be happy if we marry the princess." The warrior who had been silent until now also spoke after hearing this. .
"You don't want to be a prince-in-law. There are many people who want to be a prince-in-law." The young master said, "And if you don't want to be a prince-in-law, there are benefits to participating."
"What's the benefit?" the warrior said.
"The top three who recruit a son-in-law with martial arts can get three rewards respectively. The first place can get one hundred taels of silver, the second place can get fifty taels of silver, and the third place can get ten taels of silver." The young master said: "This is the county magistrate's favor and his own salary as a reward."
Zhang Ran heard this and took a bite of the side dish. Why did the county magistrate give out the salary? It must be for the top three. Zhang Ran could guess that it was to please. After all, as the number one in Qiantang County, Regardless of whether he can become the consort after arriving in the capital, his future achievements are limitless. This is a bet made in advance.
"Then I'll give it a try." After hearing this, the warrior said with excitement.
"With Brother Wu's skills, he will definitely achieve good results in the top three. I would like to congratulate you in advance." The young master said.
When Zhang Ran heard this, he was moved. He was moved by money. He wanted one hundred taels of silver, but he didn't want to be a prince-in-law, so he couldn't get the first place. Naturally, he couldn't get the one hundred taels of silver, but he couldn't get the first place. The second place's fifty taels are bound to be won. Although there are still two hundred taels of silver, it is not much in Zhang Ran's opinion, and fifty taels is not a small amount, so Zhang Ran wants to participate in recruiting a son-in-law by force.
After paying for the drink and leaving the restaurant, Zhang Ran returned home. At this time, it was just Mrs. Li who was cooking at home, while Zhang Dieer was playing in the yard with a little girl from her neighbor.
Zhang Kuan didn't come back. This was normal. Zhang Kuan would come back every time it was getting dark, and it was still some time before dark.
This is also the time when the county government office gets off work. Although time has been divided in ancient times, most people set the time based on the weather, while the county government office sets the time for getting off work based on the time when it gets dark.
Of course, most county government offices will get off work at this time when nothing happens. If there is an accident, a murder case or something, they will work overtime, but it is very rare. After all, the county magistrate of Qiantang County is quite wise. Although he will not close his house at night, but The people are still living and working in peace and contentment.
Li said: "Die'er, come here and deliver food to your brother."
Zhang Dieer was having fun with her good friends at this time and said, "No, I don't want to go to my brother's place anymore."
Li said: "If you don't go, what will your brother eat?"
Zhang Dieer said: "He has food there."
Mrs. Li said: "Can I cook the food he has there?" Zhang Die'er babbled. She had also eaten at the Shenwei Martial Arts School. The food was really not delicious, not as delicious as her mother's cooking. .
Zhang Ran said: "I'll go deliver food to Brother Rong Ming."
Mrs. Li was not polite, she was already familiar with it, and said: "That's troublesome, please wait a moment, I will prepare the meal soon."
At this time, Zhang Ran came to Zhang Die'er's side and said, "Why don't you want to go to Brother Rong Ming's place?" Zhang Ran noticed something wrong in Zhang Die'er's tone, so he asked again.
Zhang Dieer said: "There is a person at my brother's place who always looks at me with evil eyes. He looks very annoying, so I don't want to go."
Zhang Ran's eyes flashed and he said, "Do you know that person's name?"
"Why are you asking that annoying guy's name?" Zhang Die'er muttered, but Zhang Die'er still said: "I heard my brother say his name once, let me think about it." Then Zhang Die'er slightly said He raised his little head, pulled his chin with two fingers, and thought about it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Dieer's eyes lit up and she said, "I remembered his name. Yes, it's Zhao Pu."
Zhang Ran touched Zhang Die'er's little head, and Zhang Die'er said dissatisfied: "Don't touch my head all the time, it will make you stupid."
Mrs. Li walked out of the kitchen, holding a food box in her hand and handed it to Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran came to Shenwei Martial Arts Hall with a food box.
Shenwei Martial Arts Hall is similar to Wuhu Martial Arts Hall. There are two guards guarding the outside. However, the guard of Wuhu Martial Arts Hall carries a knife, while the guard of Shenwei Martial Arts Hall wears gloves on his hands.
Zhang Ran told a guard that he was bringing food to Zhang Rongming, and the guard let Zhang Ran in without saying anything.
Zhang Rongming also has some reputation in the Shenwei Martial Arts School. Although he is still an outer disciple, he is among the top ten outer sect disciples. This is already very good. Few people in the Shenwei Martial Arts School make things difficult for him.
Shenwei Martial Arts Hall is made up of a large mansion. Zhang Ran almost got lost after walking in, but after asking a few people, Zhang Ran found the place where Zhang Rongming was.
This is a courtyard where Shenwei Martial Arts School practices martial arts. There are more than a dozen disciples practicing martial arts in it. As soon as Zhang Ran walked in, he saw Zhang Rongming.
Zhang Rongming and two people were fighting.
Zhang Ran could tell at a glance that something was wrong. This was not like a competition, but rather like bullying. First of all, the competition was all one-on-one, there was no two-on-one fight, and these two people were merciless in their attacks. It was a killing move. Although Zhang Rongming's martial arts was good, he would be hit by a move from time to time, and Zhang Rongming's grunting sound could be heard from time to time. Zhang Ran even looked at it for a while, and the beating caused blood to flow from the corner of Zhang Rongming's mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered internal injuries.
At this point, Zhang Ran couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Stop." Zhang Ran took the Xuan Dao and used the Five Tiger Door-Breaking Knife. The sound of a tiger exploded out of thin air, and he slashed at the two people with one knife.
Zhang Ran appeared very suddenly. The two people did not react. The knife struck the two people and made two huge knife marks on their chests. The knife marks were so deep that the bones inside were exposed. .
"Who are you and why are you attacking us?" The two shouted angrily at the same time.
"I am Zhang Rongming's younger brother. If you beat my brother like this and do not avenge him, you are not a son of a human being." As Zhang Ran said this, he took the Xuan Dao again and killed the two people with the sound of a tiger exploding.
When the two people heard that it was Zhang Rongming's younger brother, they all looked puzzled. They had all heard that Zhang Rongming had a sister, but they had never heard of a younger brother. Where did this younger brother come from?
However, seeing Zhang Ran attacking them also aroused their murderous intention. They waved their fists and attacked Zhang Ran.
One person was like a black bear, carrying huge power and killing with one punch.
One man was like a crane, his fists were like white cranes spreading their wings, and he came to kill.
Zhang Ran heard Zhang Rongming say what kind of martial arts he learned in the Shenwei Martial Arts School. He learned various animal boxing techniques. Among them, the outer disciples had the inheritance of five animal boxing techniques. Zhang Rongming practiced Crane Fist, and now he and Zhang However, among the two people fighting, one used the Crane Fist like Zhang Rongming, and the other used the Bear Fist.
