In the next few days, Zheng Xiu changed back and forth between the three identities of the richest man, the powerful man, and the young master, and was exhausted.
Just when Zheng Xiu was thinking about how to ask Yan Jiji, "Can I ask you to knock on a mountain?" and was struggling with how much labor to pay.
He received news that a place outside the city was blocked by heavy troops, and all vehicles coming and going had to be checked one by one.
Needless to say, that "somewhere" is naturally the hilltop of Fengbei's house.
A mountain was forcibly cut into a canyon. This power that can be said to create a "natural landscape" was difficult to hide from the people, and it was even harder to hide it from the eyes of the emperor.
Then the whole city was shaken.
Ye Weiyang, who was already busy dealing with strange things in other places, made matters worse. I heard that [Zhenlingren] Hu Langbi Shui, who rarely went out to work in the field, had to send her out to investigate the situation because of the vacancy in the upper level of Ye Weiyang in the imperial city. Real murderer."
That hilltop is Ye Weiyang's home in Sanfengbei. It can barely be called Ye Weiyang's territory, and it is also the face of December. There was a "mysterious man" who chopped open the top of Fengbei's mountain alive. It was tantamount to a slap in the face, and it was the kind that broke the face in half. It was a slap to death.
Such a major event happened recently in Chi Chi, which means that there is a mysterious and unrecorded thaumaturgy wandering near the imperial city. No matter what the reason is, it is enough to attract the attention of the emperor and Ye Weiyang.
After learning about this, Zheng Xiu felt even more guilty and at the same time dumbfounded. Now he asked Yan Jiji to knock the mountain back. Even if he could knock the mountain back to its original state, Zheng Xiu couldn't do it at the risk of exposing his flaws. .
It's over. There is definitely no way to hide the truth and knock Fengbei's mountain back to its original state.
So Fengbei, do you want to lay some foreshadowing in advance?
For example, are you interested in living with Zheng's family? You're welcome?
Or find a reason to blame?
Just say that he has received top-secret information that Qianquanlou has a grudge against you and is preparing to take cruel revenge on you.
What a life!
On Namha-eup Jung-gun Road.
Zheng Xiu tried both methods.
He first pretended not to care and asked you if you wanted to stay at Mr. Zheng's house permanently.
Feng Bei shook his head without hesitation and said he didn't want to.
Two days later, Zheng Xiu said again that they would not let you go because you had repeatedly blocked Quanquanlou’s plans.
Feng Bei said calmly: "No problem, let them come."
Zheng Xiu finally had to give up the plan of "ambushing pen".
He understands why there is no three hundred taels of silver here.
Maybe Feng Bei wouldn't be so angry in the end?
The matter of Fengbei's house being destroyed will be put aside for the time being.
Only now did Zheng Xiu finally understand what was the biggest difficulty in the challenge of [Surprise Cage].
From now on, his [Magic Armor] became a true "ultimate move", one that could not be used easily until the critical point.
Once he uses the [Trick Armor], it is like holding a nuclear bomb set to explode at a timed time. He must find a way to find a target and throw the nuclear bomb within a limited time.
Complaints are complaints, but in fact, men still like giant ones.
The effect of the "huge" improvement is really huge, it goes without saying.
On the way to Yi Zhong County, there were only one man and one woman, walking and stopping.
As they spent more time together along the way, Fengbei gradually began to talk more when facing his former savior.
But rather than talking about herself, she would more often ask Senior Zheng Shan about the past twenty years without hesitation. ….
She always felt that Senior Zheng Shan had been hiding from the world for twenty years and was said to be in seclusion, but many stories must have happened.
Because every time Feng Bei looked at Zheng Shan's face, he always felt that his face was full of stories.
As the saying goes, it takes countless lies to cover up a lie.
At this moment, Zheng Xiu deeply realized the truth of life. He cried silently and had nowhere to talk.
Faced with Feng Bei's questions, he could only rack his brains to think of the stories that Senior Zheng Shan had "personally experienced" over the years.
It was the ninth day after leaving Jiayang City.
There is only about a hundred miles away from Eizhong County.
Meng Nan was telling stories on horseback, and Feng Bei listened intently.
"It is said that back then I crossed thousands of mountains and crossed vast oceans. I sat alone in a small boat and drifted on the sea for ten days and ten nights without eating or drinking."
"I first headed east, then I encountered an ocean current and was forced north, where I hit an iceberg."
"Then I was forced to abandon the ship, leap into the air, and land on a huge ice floe."
"When you are hungry, you shoot birds and eat their meat raw; when you are thirsty, you shave ice and melt snow to drink."
"After a long day, the old man suddenly looked up and saw a strange and indescribable light. Countless lights of extraordinary beauty, expanding and contracting in the darkness."
"Red, purple, orange, yellow. The sky is filled with brilliant light. This is called an aurora."
"Under the aurora, there is an island. There is a volcano on the island, rumbling, and the sides of the volcano are covered with ice and snow."
"Later, I learned by chance that it was called Ice and Fire Island."
"There is an orangutan up there who calls himself King Kong. He stands taller than the mountain."
"There was a blind man, holding a big sword, who called himself the Golden Retriever Lion King."
"On a starless night, Jane fell in love with...ah no, the lion king met the orangutan."
Zheng Xiu racked his brains to combine various incomplete story impressions into one story.
Just when Zheng Xiu was about to say "The Golden Retriever Lion King vs. the Brave Mother Vajra", Zheng Xiu's sharp eyes saw a restaurant called "Food is Heaven" on the side of the road, and he suddenly stopped talking.
Several dusty square tables were placed on the roadside. When the sound of horse hooves was heard, a blind man sitting in front of the door suddenly raised his head and started shouting: "Marinated beef! Good corned beef! Good old rice wine! No money required." !」
"Blind man?" Zheng Xiu pulled the reins, stopped his horse, and said to the blind man, "Go down and have a look."
But Feng Bei grabbed Zheng Xiu's clothes, her eyes shining. She was still interested in listening to Zheng Mengnan's legendary story, and said, "Brother Zheng, what's down there? Then the lion king met the orangutan, what happened? The orangutan is A type of monkey? Is the Ice and Fire Island you mentioned a ghost place? If it is not a ghost place, are there really monkeys as high as mountains in the vast ocean?"
Zheng Xiudao: "There's no rush."
Feng Bei pursed his lips and clenched his fists: "Feng Bei wants to hear it."
Zheng Xiu quickly dismounted and walked towards the blind man in front of the restaurant, preparing to attack. As he walked, he said, "I know what will happen next, and I'll listen to the explanation next time!"
"All right."
Feng Bei nodded helplessly, looking at the blind man in the restaurant with an imperceptible murderous look in his eyes.
If he is really a broken building...
Feng Bei decided to make an exception and take action.
“Well, where are the lame and deaf people in your family?”….
Zheng Xiu squatted in front of the blind man and asked with a smile.
The blind man tilted his head: "You two, would you like to have something to eat? Ours is an old shop that has been open for ten years, and we are very good at it. We have high-quality corned beef and old rice wine, so we are full!"
Yo? Not on track?
Zheng Xiu looked at Feng Bei and made a gesture.
Feng Bei nodded and said tacitly: "Wing Xian San, Feng Bei."
She introduced herself politely, which sounded fine. But if the other party knows the name of Feng Bei's evil star, just the word "Feng Bei" can scare the other party out of their courage.
After Feng Bei finished speaking, he slowly stretched out his five fingers toward the blind man's face.
Getting closer, little by little.
The blind man still had a blank look on his face.
Zheng Xiu kept staring at the blind man's expression.
At this time, his eyes opened a little, and the child inside them turned white, and he looked flustered: "Are you two here to beat the autumn wind?"
Feng Bei stopped "taking action" and looked at Zheng Shan.
When she was with Zheng Shan, she always listened to him.
Zheng Xiu shook his head slowly.
Feng Bei nodded and stopped obediently.
"Store, two seats!"
Someone inside heard Zheng Xiu shouting, and a man dressed as a waiter accompanied the smiling face and went out to greet him.
Everything seemed so normal.
The blind man seems to be really sitting at the door to attract customers.
Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei sat down. When Zheng Xiu asked why there was a blind man sitting at the door, the waiter smiled and said, "It's difficult to do business in this place with no village in front of the village and no store in the back! The blind man's ears are so bright that he can hear the hoofbeats of horses from a distance. Many guests screamed pitifully when they saw the blind man, and even the most hard-hearted guests would not be able to help but come in to help. Look at you and your wife, aren't you coming in too!"
Feng Bei was startled when he heard this and clenched his fists, but did not deny it.
Zheng Xiu smiled and asked the waiter to stop talking nonsense and spoil the girl's innocence, so he asked the waiter to serve a plate of marinated beef and a pot of rice wine.
"Okay! The two distinguished guests will have tea first, and the beef and rice wine will be served immediately! Our beef and rice wine are of high quality and low price! Only one tael of silver will satisfy you!"
The waiter was about to go into the kitchen to prepare food when Zheng added, "We brought our own kuaizi."
The waiter was stunned, looked at Zheng Xiu deeply, and then left.
"Let me tell you, there used to be a kind of black shop..."
Zheng Xiu now told the story that Er Niang had told before, about a black shop that eats human flesh.
After Feng Bei listened quietly to Zheng Xiu's story, he smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zheng, this kind of store should be gone now."
When the waiter served the food, Zheng Xiu added: "Sorry, let's get the double kuaizi, it turns out we forgot to bring them."
The waiter said happily: "This man doesn't think that our place is a black shop that serves white meat to customers, right? Where can there be such a shop now! I heard that those who ate white meat in the past did not end well. , abscesses and abscesses, and yang root rot and yang root rot, all of them will die."
Zheng Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment. He was so careless. He almost deceived himself by telling stories every day. In an instant, he forgot that the world had changed for the better.
After eating and drinking, it was already dusk.
When the bill was being paid, the waiter came out and said, "Are you guys full? One hundred taels of silver in total."
When Zheng Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily: "You still dare to say that this is not a black shop? Didn't you agree to a tael of silver?"...
The waiter said confidently: "Look at what our guest said, please don't slander anyone! Naturally, one or two tubes of beef and rice wine are enough." He pointed to the hot tea on the table: "But this tea costs ninety-nine taels, a total of One hundred taels, there is no miscalculation."
Zheng Xiu wondered, is the image of a strong man not strong enough? Can the black shops on the roadside bully me?
But when the waiter shouted, "Someone is freeloading," a nearly two-meter-tall butcher, shirtless and with bloodstains on his apron, angrily ran out of the kitchen with a butcher's knife. "You dare to eat for free in my shop", Zheng Xiu was no longer puzzled.
He looks stronger than the strong man, at least in terms of height.
Still carrying a knife.
Good people are bullied.
Feng Bei pulled on the black silk gloves and prepared to take action.
Zheng Xiu took a step forward and slapped the table down with a bang, breaking into several pieces.
The cook and the waiter said at the same time, almost without thinking: "If you two have anything to say, talk to me!"
Zheng Xiu took out five broken pieces of silver and felt depressed. Logically speaking, he usually likes to bully others with wealth, but today he couldn't do it. Because the avatar really didn’t have any money on him, the money was still brought by Feng Bei when he went out.
"One silver coin paid for the beef and rice wine."
"One piece of silver will pay for this table."
"I have three pieces of silver left, and I have a message for you."
"You guys gave me the tea, do you have any objections?"
"Send it! Send it! Send it! Of course I have to send it! These two men, a talented man and a beautiful woman, are a perfect match. They will never see each other like us!"
The waiter in the shop had sharp eyes and said something.
They were all afraid that this handsome man would rise up and kill someone.
Zheng Xiu immediately asked if he had ever heard of a monk named "Hua Monk". The second question was where in Shuzhou there were the most monks.
The two answered honestly.
They have not heard of Monk Hua. In fact, it is obviously a "nickname". Anyone can be called Monk Hua. But they did say the second question
Come out, there are more than thirty temples with monks gathered in Shuzhou, but the one with the most monks is naturally the Yunliu Temple located in the middle of Shuzhou.
After leaving the black shop, Zheng Xiu got on his horse and was about to give Feng Bei a hand when he saw Feng Bei lowering his head and smiling slightly, so he asked, "What's wrong? Have you heard of Yunliu Temple?"
Feng Bei put away his smile, nodded and said, "I've heard of it."
"Okay! Let's first go to Eizhong County to find out the news, and then go to Yunliu Temple to ask."
Feng Bei got up and mounted his horse, his ears slightly red.
Speeding all the way, Zheng Xiu once again stayed up late to drive before dawn. He saw the smoke of fireworks rising from the city in the distance, and the ancient word "Yi Zhong" appeared on the city gate.
After accepting a simple interrogation and entering the city, Zheng Xiu directly disclosed his identity as the "Zheng family" and said that he could easily enter the city by looking for Si Youqing from the Chamber of Commerce.
After a night of running, the two planned to find an inn to stay and rest first. When Zheng Xiu was about to enter the room and sneak out quietly, Feng Bei asked Zheng Xiu why he didn't punish the black shop.
"How can a black shop on the road dare to ask for a hundred taels casually? He dares to ask for a hundred taels because he is sure of our clothes. He can give us a hundred taels, but even if it is not good, there will be dozens of taels. It can be seen that their business is not good, and the cook's apron There was a smell of low-quality dye, and it didn't look like someone who had been stained with blood. They were just trying to bluff people. At the very least, they seemed to only bully the rich, and there was nothing to punish. There are not so many things in the world that are black and white. "... .
"That makes sense." Feng Bei nodded and asked Brother Zheng to rest first.
After Zheng Xiu entered the room, Feng Bei walked out of the inn on his own and went to find the Ye Weiyang branch in the city.
Zheng Xiu canceled his fugue and fell asleep in the lake for two hours.
It was already noon when he woke up. He washed up and asked the young master to go out and show off to his family that the young master was still there. Zheng Xiu returned to the dungeon. After slightly adjusting the characteristics of the masculine man, he poked [Inn Fengbei] with his finger. With a small face, a door opened and closed in the depths. Zheng Xiu opened his eyes again and found that he was floating in the sky.
"Feng Bei is outside?"
In order to prevent frightening children, Zheng Xiu would always bring a proficient level [Stealth] with him when performing teleportation operations in broad daylight, which was particularly useful.
After a puff of smoke, he came to the street. Zheng Xiu looked up at the signboard of a popular restaurant - "Tuberose". Zheng Xiu thought for a moment and understood why Feng Bei came here.
After waiting at the door for a while, Feng Bei walked out of the restaurant with a tired look on his face, and immediately saw Brother Zheng who stood out among the crowd.
"Brother Zheng, why don't you take a rest?"
Zheng Xiu originally wanted to say, "You are the one, why don't you take a break?" But then he thought that the dialogue was not right, so he swallowed the words in his throat and said instead: "Yueyan and Dou Xie are here?"
Feng Bei shook his head: "Maybe they are still on their way to Yi Zhong County."
"Where's the Void Rat?"
Feng Bei: "I came here, but I left again."
Zheng Xiu became more energetic: "Did you leave any words behind?"
Feng Bei shook his head: "No."
"No? That's right." Zheng Xiu laughed loudly and pulled Feng Bei towards the Zheng's Branch Chamber of Commerce in his memory: "Then go to the Chamber of Commerce first."
Si Youqing, the person in charge of Zheng's Shuzhou Branch Chamber of Commerce, has inherited the Zheng family's usual style of doing things - grand and high-profile.
The facade of the branch chamber of commerce has two pillars with carved dragons and phoenixes. The plaque is inlaid with gold and framed with precious wood, with the words "Zheng's Chamber of Commerce, Home of Loyalty Martyrs" written on it.
There are two stone lions standing next to the door. They are made by skilled craftsmen. The lion's eyes are made of precious jade, which are particularly smart.
Si Youqing was making tea, meditating, and enjoying life.
When someone outside the door said that "Master Zheng" was coming to see him, Si Youqing was so shocked that he choked on a mouthful of tea.
He had just escorted the dividends northward not long ago, and not long after Zheng Xiu came to Shuzhou in person, Si Youqing's first reaction was whether Zheng Xiu was dissatisfied with the dividends he gave.
Si Youqing gathered her mood, tidied up her clothes, and went straight to the living room.
"Nephew Zheng Xian, nephew Zheng Xian, what brought you here? I haven't seen you for many years, you——"
The businessman's usual polite words were only half spoken when Si Youqing turned around and walked over
At the threshold, when he saw the handsome man sitting in the upper seat, his expression was astonished, and he froze in front of him with his fists raised in greeting etiquette, motionless, and the second half of his sentence was still stuck in his throat. Si Youqing was stunned for several breaths before continuing:
"...What on earth did you eat to grow like this?".
Bachelor in White
