After all, Manager Ding didn't ask Li Chuan and Zhang Yuan to go out for money. After asking about the location of the shop, he took two boys and went to buy paper figurines.
After Manager Ding left, Zhang Yuanwai apologized to Li Chuan and said, "I was reckless and brought the person here without asking clearly."
Li Chuan hurriedly said: "The member is also kind-hearted. I hope the paper man can stabilize him for a little longer."
Thinking about it, he said: "Let's set off immediately to find Xu Zhixian, lest the general's adopted son cause any trouble again."
Zhang Yuanwai immediately agreed.
Then Li Chuantong left Zhang Yuan and three other people, got on the carriage and rushed to the county government office, and finally met Xu Zhixian before lunch.
After listening to them explain the cause and effect, Xuzhi County also began to have a headache.
Zhang Yuanwai said: "Doesn't Mr. Xu recognize Daoist Wen from the Four Gods Palace? Can you go to the Four Gods Palace and invite some monks?"
Xu Zhixian said: "I have indeed known Mr. Wen for a long time, but he occasionally comes to me to reminisce when passing by. I don't know where to look for him. I have only seen him once or twice in the past ten years." "
Then he said: "Since he just occupies an uninhabited hilltop, I think we can send some people to guard it for the time being. I will also inform County Sheriff Wu about this and see what arrangements the County Sheriff has."
Li Chuan and Zhang Yuanwai both agreed.
Xu Zhixian suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Li, I heard that you and Daoist Wen resolved the matter in Xialin Village last time. Do you have any way to contact Daoist Wen?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai also looked at Li Chuan. He knew about the massacre in Xialin Village, but he didn't know that Li Chuan was also involved.
Li Chuan said: "I can't contact you at the moment."
He knew nothing about Yan Qingshan's current situation.
Then Xu Zhixian invited them to have dinner together, during which they talked about many deeds of the general's adopted son.
Although Zhang Yuanwai had heard a little bit about it, his knowledge was not that detailed. Li Chuan, who knew nothing about it, listened with interest.
The adopted son of the general was named Chang Xiao. It was said that he was raised by wild animals. After being adopted by the general Chang Rimu, he learned to speak and etiquette again, which caused a lot of jokes in the capital.
But those are things of the past.
General Chang Rimu has not married yet, and has only one adopted son named Chang Xiao, who has also made many achievements with him. Now in Beijing, many high-ranking officials want to marry their daughters to him.
Xu Zhixian said: "The last time I went to the capital, I saw him from a distance. He seemed to be a polite and sensible person. I didn't expect him to go crazy..."
He did not continue, but instead talked about his past with Wen Guying.
"I was still young at that time. When I was traveling in the mountains and rivers, I stopped in a village due to wind and snow," Xu Zhixian said about his experience. "The people in the village seemed very kind, but they spoke and acted strangely. I was thinking about leaving immediately after the wind and snow stopped, but I didn’t expect that it had been almost half a month and the snow had not stopped. I knew something was wrong, so I ran away without the villagers paying attention, and walked in the snow for a long time. I didn't go out, and finally I fell, and the snow immediately buried me. My limbs were cold and I couldn't move, and I heard the villagers talking in the distance."
"I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect that when I woke up, my whole body was warm. A Taoist priest was sitting by the fire not far away. It was Taoist Wen. When he saw that I was awake, he invited me over for a drink. He said that the great calamity in my destiny has passed, and everything will go smoothly from now on."
"It turns out that the people in that village were all dead. They died in a snowstorm a few years ago. They also wanted to trap me there."
"After that time, I stopped going out and concentrated on studying at home. Sure enough, I passed the exam the next year."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai praised Xuzhi County for its profound blessings and lamented that the review of the past should be a true god and man.
After lunch, Xuzhi County said he had official business to deal with, so Li Chuan and Zhang Yuanwai Tongluo said their goodbyes and left. When passing the mountain that Manager Ding mentioned on the road, Tong got out of the car.
He said: "I'm going to do some exploration, take a look at the terrain, and see how to arrange it." He reassured Li Chuan and said, "I'll just walk around the foot of the mountain and never rush in."
Li Chuan knew that Tong Luo was a cautious person, so he did not try to persuade him and went straight back to Yunqiao Township with Zhang Yuanwai.
After that, officers and soldiers patrolled the foot of the mountain day and night, and Tong Luo and Gong Er Pang San would take a look from time to time.
More than ten days passed, but Manager Ding did not show up, and there was no news from the mountain. However, an unexpected person came - Liu Canjun.
When Li Chuan opened the door and saw Liu Canjun, he was a little surprised, but he was very happy and said: "What brings you here? Come in quickly!"
Liu Canjun followed Li Chuan and sat down in the room, and then said, "I'm here because of Chang Xiao's matter."
"What did the governor say?" Li Chuan asked while pouring tea.
Liu Canjun said: "The county governor has sent a letter to the capital. Although Chang Xiao does not have an official position now, he is the adopted son of the general and has made military exploits. He cannot be hurt in any case. Of course, we cannot Let him go crazy and hurt other people."
"So I brought some people over, and together with the people before me, we stayed at the foot of the mountain." Liu Canjun took a sip of water, leaned a little towards Li Chuan, and said, "Brother Li, you didn't contact the Qintian Supervisor." Or a monk from Xuanmen?"
"No." Li Chuan replied. It seems that Commander Wu was very afraid that the adopted son of the general would be injured here, so he sent Liu Canjun, who was familiar with him, to inquire about the news.
Li Chuan told Liu Canjun what Manager Ding said, and then said: "I guess that paper man has worked. It is best for him to stay in the farmhouse on the mountain and not come down until the general's people come to take him back. "
Liu Canjun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, yes."
Then he said: "I still have to go up there to see what's going on. Brother Li, can you go with me?"
"No, to tell you the truth, I have just recovered from a serious illness and can't go out." Li Chuan immediately refused.
In fact. The night before yesterday, he followed Tong Luo up the mountain while sitting next to him. He wanted to use the demon mirror to see Chang Xiao's true identity. But unexpectedly, he was discovered before reaching the top of the mountain, and chased after him with the light of his snow-white sword.
Fortunately, the other three were fast runners and Brother Tong was familiar with the roads in the mountains and forests, so he ran out smoothly.
Just when Li Chuan was about to persuade Liu Canjun not to go, he heard a knock on the door.
Boom! Boom!
Who knocked so hard?
Just as Li Chuan was about to get up and take a look, he heard Manager Ding's voice coming from outside the door, "It's not good, Mr. Li, it's not good!"
Li Chuan hurriedly walked out and opened the door. Manager Ding rushed in and said, "My young master said that the successor of "The Classic of Patterns" has been eliminated, and the biggest obstacle has been solved. Now we will drive the demons to attack Jinhong County! "
