After Hua Feng left, Guo Renjie arranged for someone to follow Hua Feng and Yuanhao. Of course, this could not escape Hua Feng's eyes. Even Yuanhao noticed that someone was following him, but Hua Feng looked unconcerned, and Yuanhao remained silent as the two of them headed towards Kaifeng. Onward we rode until dusk. Seeing that it was already getting late, the two found an inn and rested there. When the man who was following saw Hua Feng and the others marching forward without stopping at all, he was sure that the two of them were indeed going to return to the Jiangmeng Alliance, so he stopped following him and returned to Xinyang City to find Guo Renjie.
Seeing that the man was gone, Yuanhao said: "Deputy leader, that man is gone, let's go back too."
Hua Feng said: "What are you anxious about? What if that person comes back again?"
Yuanhao took a deep breath and said, "Okay. Then let's wait."
Hua Feng sat on a chair, closed his eyes and meditated, and said, "Don't be anxious. You have to learn to wait for everything."
Yuanhao said worriedly: "I'm worried that if we leave, they will be disadvantageous to Brother Li. After all, his martial arts skills," Yuanhao said with an expression that was hard to explain.
Hua Feng said: "Tell me, there are no outsiders here."
Yuanhao whispered: "It doesn't look like that. To be honest, let alone the bad-tempered elders in the alliance, even my master has a good temper. If he sees him, he will probably scold him. "
Hua Feng said with a hint of complaint in his tone: "That's true. I've always heard that the second young master of Yinlong Villa is a playboy who doesn't do his job and does nothing all day long. I thought it was just a rumor, but now that I see him, although The etiquette is decent, but the martial arts is nothing like it. If we hadn't been busy, I really wanted to take him to Luoyang and ask his father how he taught his son! What a waste of his good talent. .”
Yuanhao said: "Yes. So if we weren't there, with his martial arts, we might not be able to withstand him."
Hua Feng asked: "Why do you care about him?"
Yuanhao said: "Although Brother Li is a bit reckless, he has a good heart and is a person who values friendship."
Hua Feng smiled slightly and asked, "By the way, you were in Guo Mansion that day. What were you planning to do by lifting him up?"
After hearing this, Yuanhao said with some embarrassment: "Huh? Deputy leader, were you there at the time? I wanted to lift him up and then throw him out. However, I seemed to have overestimated my situation at the time."
Hua Feng said: "When you entered that room, I was already nearby. I didn't see you come out for a long time, so I planned to go in. Then, I saw you two running out of it in a panic. Guo Fu and People from the Yiyang Gang also gathered around."
Yuanhao said with some resentment: "Deputy leader, then you won't come to help us?"
Hua Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "I just wanted to see how skilled you two are. In the end, you were beaten to a pulp by Guo Renjie, and he was beaten to the ground. I'm very disappointed."
Yuanhao felt a little ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, deputy leader, for embarrassing our Jiang Jiang Alliance."
Hua Feng said: "Since you know, you should hurry up and practice diligently for me!"
Yuanhao said: "Then don't we go back tonight?"
Hua Feng said calmly: "Waiting is also a kind of practice. Cultivation of the mind before doing anything. Only when the mind is steady can you do things steadily."
Yuanhao said: "I understand, deputy leader."
Hua Feng said: "But I still have to praise you. Even in such a dangerous situation, you did not abandon your friends. People who abandon their mission are trash, but those who abandon their friends are worse than trash."
After hearing this, Yuanhao nodded and said, "That makes sense. Who said it?"
Hua Feng looked embarrassed and said: "Ahem. I don't know who said it, but I just think it makes sense. Go practice! Go practice!" Yuanhao meditated cross-legged on the bed and began to practice his mind.
It was already late at night after the person who was following him rushed back to the Yiyang Gang in Xinyang City. At this time, Guo Renjie and Lao Zhang from the Yiyang Gang were drinking in the hall. The man came forward to report and said: "Report to the gang leader, Na Huafeng and his disciples were heading north all the way, and they only rested about noon on the way. Two hours later, we have arrived at the inn three hundred miles away to rest."
Guo Renjie was overjoyed after hearing this. He threw out a piece of silver and said, "Okay, you go down and have a rest." The man held the silver and left quickly. Guo Renjie said to Zhang Fu beside him: "Old Zhang. No, Zhang Captou! Drink!" He held a wine bowl and toasted to Zhang Captou.
Zhang Fu declined and said: "Guang Leader Guo, just call me Lao Zhang! Oops, I've drunk a lot today."
Guo Renjie said with a smile: "Today is the day that my brother Zhang will be the head catcher. I'm so happy!"
Zhang Fu was still worried about the incident in Huafeng's specialty shop yesterday, and said: "Guang Leader Guo, what happened yesterday."
Guo Renjie explained: "Old Zhang, I was just angry yesterday. We have known each other for so many years, how could I really make you lose money!"
After Zhang Fu heard this, the stone that was weighing on his heart finally fell to the ground. He picked up the wine bowl and drank it, and said, "Thank you very much, Gang Leader Guo!"
Guo Renjie said: "It's easy to talk about. However, I also have something to trouble you, Lao Zhang."
When Zhang Fu heard this, he became cautious and said, "Let's talk and listen."
Guo Renjie looked sad and said: "You also know that since the arrival of Magistrate Jiang, martial law has been enforced everywhere in Xinyang City. At that time, it was said to catch the robbers, but now the robber has been caught, and the martial law has not been lifted. .”
Zhang Fu said doubtfully: "Actually, this doesn't bother you, Gang Leader Guo. Your gang's daily transportation of materials and personnel movement just follow the normal procedures."
Guo Renjie said: "These are all small things. You also know that my gang will transport some tea on weekdays."
Zhang Fu said: "Oh. I know this, so let's wait until tomorrow. I will prepare an itinerary for you. As long as my people are guarding the door, you only need to send people to transport things. When the time comes, just check it out. Hehe, I'll let you pass." Zhang Fu seemed not surprised that the Yiyang Gang did such a thing.
Guo Renjie said: "Thank you very much, Zhang Captou."
Zhang Furao said meaningfully: "What's the benefit?"
Guo Renjie said: "Don't worry, I can't miss you."
Zhang Fu smiled from ear to ear, holding the wine glass and said: "Drink! Drink!" Amidst the laughter, the two ended the drinking party. After seeing Zhang Fu off, Guo Renjie came to the black-clothed messenger's door, knocked on the door, and said respectfully: "Messenger, Guo has something to ask for."
A cold voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"
"I would like to ask you to help me kill someone." Guo Renjie said.
"Xinyang County Magistrate?" the envoy said.
"Exactly. The envoy is really smart as ice and snow." Guo Renjie said.
"I have helped you kill a county magistrate before, are you planning to let me do it again?" asked inside.
"It's all for the Holy Lord. If you send the things to the Holy Lord as soon as possible, your master will be very happy," Guo Renjie said.
"Okay, I promise you." The messenger in the room said.
"Then I don't know when the messenger will take action. Do you need me to help you arrange anything?"
The door was opened by the messenger in black inside the room. She was not wearing a hat at this time, but a strange mask. She said coldly: "No, I will take action tonight. You show me the physical characteristics of that magistrate." Tell me." After Guo Renjie told the black-clothed messenger about Jiang Zhixian's physical characteristics, the black-clothed messenger walked past Guo Renjie. The black-clothed messenger's movements were very light, and she even breathed silently. When she walked past Guo Renjie, Guo Renjie could not feel a trace of living breath from her body.
The messenger in black flew onto the roof of the county government office and lurked above, looking for someone who matched Guo Renjie's description. Jiang Zhixian was working in the room at this time. He felt a little thirsty, so he reached out to pour tea. Unexpectedly, he had already finished the tea in the pot, and then shouted: "Come here, bring me some hot water!" After shouting, there was no response. When he looked out the window, he realized that it was already late at night. Everyone should have gone home. Jiang Zhixian stood up, stretched his waist, and was about to go out to fetch some water. As soon as he opened the door, a figure appeared outside. Jiang Zhixian was frightened, looked intently, and asked, "Lao Yang? Didn't you go home?"
Lao Yang explained: "I have something to do today, so I have to go back after the party. Sir, do you want hot water? I will heat it for you now."
Jiang Zhixian looked at Lao Yang's sickly face and said, "It's okay, I'll do it myself. You go and do your work." Jiang Zhixian is not a pampered person. He also does some chores on weekdays, such as fetching and boiling water. Of course it's no problem.
Lao Yang said: "I'm just waiting for someone. Waiting is waiting anyway, no delay. Sir, please go back to the house, I will boil water for you."
Jiang Zhixian still felt a little embarrassed. It was so late and it was supposed to be rest time, so he said, "Okay. Let's go together. I just want to stretch my muscles."
Lao Yang stretched out his hand and said, "Okay. Sir, please."
Zhixian Jiang walked in front, followed closely by Lao Yang. The two held Jia Chang in hand. Zhixian Jiang said, "Lao Yang, I heard Lao Chen say that your home is quite far outside the city."
"Sir, it is indeed a long way to go back, but I am used to walking."
"Aren't your family worried if you go back so late?"
"I am the only one in my family. Alas, my wife and children separated from me more than ten years ago."
"Haven't you gone looking for them?"
"I've looked for it, but where can I find it in this huge sea of people?"
"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing. I believe we will find them, that's just right. Don't go back tonight. Find a room later and stay in the county government office. I see how much older you are than me, so Let me call you brother."
"No, no, you are the magistrate, how can you call me brother?"
"What's wrong with the county magistrate? The county magistrate is also a human being, and everyone is equal. Officials only work for the people. There is no distinction between high and low."
The two of them walked to the well while chatting. When Lao Yang was about to fetch water, Magistrate Jiang picked up the bucket first and said, "I'll do it."
Lao Yang had no choice but to stand aside, watching Jiang Zhixian fetch water, and said: "Sir, I will be responsible for carrying water and boiling water in a while! You can't rob me of this! If people know, I will be called lazy."
Jiang Zhixian replied: "Okay!"
Just when Jiang Zhixian was bending down to fetch water, Lao Yang saw a black figure floating directly towards Jiang Zhixian!
