As soon as Zhang He asked, Er Guo and Uncle Tang beside him were suddenly startled. Uncle Tang even tensed up his muscles, fearing that Zeng Ji would suddenly attack. Zeng Ji, who didn't want to walk behind, didn't even change his expression and said, "Master, why do you ask?"
Zhang He said: "I have heard about Zeng's chivalry for a long time, so I asked you about it."
Zeng Ji was overjoyed and said, "Young Master, do you also hear the name of a lowly person?"
Zhang Zou was dissatisfied in his heart, but he said: "I have always heard of Zeng's bravery and chivalry, but I haven't gotten to know him."
Zeng Jidao: "If the young master does not give up, I am willing to drive him."
Unexpectedly, this person climbed up like this. Zhang Noi was speechless for a moment, so he had to change the subject and said, "Where did Zeng come from?"
Zeng Jidao: "How can the remaining people come out of the ruined country!"
Zhang Noi asked: "How to learn?"
Zeng Jidao: "No learning. But rely on courage."
Zhang Ye said: "Have you heard about the good sword? Can you get an idea?"
Zeng Jidao: "Swords are worn by gentlemen, but they cannot be wielded by young people. People in the country say that those who are good at swordsmanship are said to be brave and ruthless."
Seeing that Zeng Ji was gritting his teeth and refusing to admit his fault, Zhang Noi said: "You are a gentleman, how can you be a villain without learning?" As he said this, he turned around, took a step back, bowed and said: "I have no status, and I am less important than a noble person. What's the crime?" Yes! Mr. Zhang, who is from Huang, has always heard the name of Zeng Zi. I am so lucky to meet him now, and I would like to treat him with courtesy!"
Zhang Ye's actions seemed to be beyond Zeng Ji's surprise. He took a step back and said, "Ignorant common people dare not infringe upon the courtesy of a young master."
Zhang Ye said: "I came here alone and want to unblock it. I dare to ask for help. I dare not pay less for the carriage and horse."
Zeng Jidao: "Young Master's order, I dare not resign. There will be a car in this village to open the seal at dawn. I dare to invite you to go with me."
Zhang Noi said: "I heard that the people of Qin are unblocking the city. What's the point of driving from Guixiang to unblocking the city?"
Zeng Jidao: "The people of Qin set up a military market in Qifeng. The grain and stone were worth sixty yuan. There was a sensation in the whole countryside, and people all prepared grain and left. This is also the case in my hometown."
Zhang Ye said: "Who is in charge?"
Zeng Jidao: "Who is the master of the Wei family?"
Zhang He asked: "Who is the Wei family?"
Zeng Jidao: "Young Master is a yellow man, but he knows little about Liang affairs. In the south of Qifeng, the Wei family is the largest, so he is the successor to Zheng Wei."
Zhang Ye suddenly realized that the Wei family here refers to the Wei family town, not Daliang Wei or other Wei mansions. Wei's family is a famous town around Daliang, so Zhang Zuo is naturally familiar with it, but he just couldn't react in a hurry. Wei Shi Yi was the border area where prisoners of the old Zheng State were exiled. The Wei officials in charge of prison affairs had lived there for generations, and within a hundred years it had become a large town, so it was named after Wei Shi. The chasm flows from outside Daliang City, through Qifeng, to Weishi. In my impression, the Wei family was still fifty or sixty miles south of Qifeng. Who would have thought that its influence could reach here. Thinking of this, Zhang Noi said smoothly: "Dare to make friends with the Wei family."
Zeng Jidao: "The Wei family is far away from home, and those who live here are also from the Wei family's distant clan. Although they are also members of the noble family. The young master can visit him by himself, but the common people dare not interfere."
Zhang Noi said: "How can the Wei clan be so virtuous that people from all over the country can respond to it with just one call?"
Zeng Jidao: "It's not about virtue, it's about profit. If you have sixty qian of grain and stone, who wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself if you have something left over? If the Wei family just said a word, the whole country would respond, so why is it strange? If there is nothing left, there will be others." Said. The head of Qixi Township had nothing to do with him, so the Wei family gathered their carriages outside the post office and built a thoroughfare."
After this conversation, Zhang Zuo was surprised to find that his perception of Zeng Ji had changed a lot: Zeng Ji was no longer a wretched, short man, his image seemed taller; but he was not that brave either. A fierce warrior. He seems to be able to give people a feeling of being in control of everything without even realizing it. Both wretched and chivalrous, these labels do not suit him. He should be...a scholar.
So he asked directly: "Do you and I have any history?"
Zeng Ji finally changed his expression and straightened his waist subconsciously. For a moment, a power naturally emerged. He stared at Zhang Noi for half a minute and said coldly: "Where did the young master come from? What did the young master ask?"
Zhang Ye quietly met Zeng Ji's gaze and looked back. When asked, he did not change his gaze and replied quietly: "Zhang, a Huang man, has always heard of Zeng's name, and also heard of Zhisan."
The two stopped talking and only looked at each other, as if trying to find something in each other's eyes, and like two swords clashing in the air, their eyes unblinking. Er Guo and Uncle Tang turned a blind eye to the two people looking at each other and stood quietly behind them.
After a long time, Zeng Ji withdrew his gaze, his whole body was drained of all energy, and he squatted down obscenely again, putting his head between his knees and hugging his knees with his hands. Zhang Zou looked at him condescendingly, his eyes still unblinking, and his aura increased again. The other three people also stood quietly, slightly adjusting their postures as Zeng Ji squatted.
Zeng Ji squatted for a while, stood up twice, crossed his hands and crossed his chest; Zhang Noi took a step back and returned the salute. Zeng Ji sneered and said: "Sure enough, there is no leakage. The young master is definitely not an ordinary person. He dares to be famous."
Zhang Zhe said: "Don't dare to deceive each other. I am a Huang man named Zhang Zhe."
Zeng Ji thought for a while and said, "I rarely hear the name of the young master, but it must be extraordinary." Then he took out a sword from his sleeve, placed it on the ground, and said, "The sword that the young master wants to see is here."
Zhang He was about to watch when he suddenly heard the sound of a car in the distance. His expression changed and he said: "Put your sword away! We are here!"
Zeng Ji was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the sword on the ground was wiped out without a trace. Zhang Ye said: "Just tell me the truth, but I just want to go with you to unblock it."
Zhang Noi turned to Er Guo and said, "Now that I have brother Zeng's help, please come back and let me take care of the family affairs separately."
Uncle Tang also said: "I have several friends who are resting outside the city, and I would like to call them."
A trace of ridicule flashed in Zeng Ji's eyes, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "You gentlemen, please return home. I will take care of it myself, young master."
Mr. Guo was a little worried and said: "I am returning home, and I would like to stay with you, ready to be summoned."
Zhang He said: "I have brother Zeng taking care of me, so I don't expect anything else. Brother Guo Zhong has lived here for a long time and is skilled in geography, so he can return home easily."
Since Mr. Guo had Zeng Ji nearby, it was inconvenient for him to speak in depth. Seeing that Zhang Noi refused, he did not insist, and he and Guo Zhongjin bowed to Zhang Noi and said goodbye. Uncle Tang had already drifted away.
In the courtyard in front of the lobby, only Zhang Ye and Zeng Ji were left...
Zeng Ji took a step forward, stretched out his hand to lift Zhang Yu's arm, and said: "Master, please come to the court!" Zhang Yu took a step back slightly, cupped his hands on his chest, and just avoided Zeng Ji's stretched out hand, and turned to Zeng Ji's From the side, he said: "Brother Zeng. The motorcade is approaching. We will wait for you in front of the court."
Zeng Ji turned around, faced Zhang Noi again, and said, "Young Master has come from afar to work hard. There is a table in the hall for you to take a break."
Zhang Ye took a step forward diagonally, turned to Zeng Ji's left side again, and said: "The motorcade is approaching, I hope Brother Zeng can make it happen."
Zeng Ji saw that Zhang Yue had a method for advancing and retreating, and knew that he was well prepared, so he stopped testing him and said, "Young master, he went into chaos alone. He is a true hero."
Zhang Noi said: "It all depends on my friends."
Zeng Jidao: "A certain person is short-sighted and has never heard of the yellow man Zhang Noi."
