The layout of the new house is obviously different from the previous one. The family's activities are basically in the backyard, and the rest of the door, including the main room, is considered a place for guests. In this way, family members will not have to avoid going inside every time when guests come.
Correspondingly, the number of servants in the family has also increased, with six more people inside and outside. This is before Wang Qin gives birth to a child. When the child is born, more people will probably be needed.
But just when Zhang Yan was busy dealing with the last critical difficulty of the limb, someone came to the door. The visitor is Zhang Yan's acquaintance, Shen Wujiu. Accompanying Shen Wujiu was an old man with a stooped figure.
"Master Shen is not busy in Lianshan City, how can he have time to come to my place?" Zhang Yan was slightly surprised when he saw Shen Wujiu. It stands to reason that Shen Wujiu should be in charge in Lianshan City at this time, and may even go to the valley where the Dead Silence Road sealed by Zhang Yan is located to handle the deployment and control matters. It is really unreasonable to appear in Langyuan City.
But when Zhang Yan sensed the aura of the old man in black robe following Shen Wujiu, he immediately guessed something in his mind. The old man was exactly the same as the masked old man he had fought against when he was "attacked" in Yuanding Imperial City. Even the other party didn't cover up this aspect, which was quite tacit.
It was difficult to ask questions outside the door, so Zhang Yan welcomed Shen Wujiu in after a few greetings.
"Huh?" But as soon as He Xianghong took his seat in the main room and offered tea to him, he was looked at by Shen Wujiu.
"Mr. Zhang, if I remember correctly, this slave had one arm before, but now he looks healthy? What is his hand?"
"It's fake. Although the slave is despicable, it is also about the Zhang family's reputation, so I spent some effort to install a prosthetic leg for him, and now he can barely use it."
"Fake, prosthetic?!" It's not like Shen Wujiu has never seen prosthetic limbs. Many disabled people in the army sometimes wear wooden prosthetic limbs, but they are all immovable, but the slave just gave him When serving tea, those arms were very lively! Even if it weren't for the gloves on the palms and the fact that the opponent's arm was broken beforehand, the abnormality would not have been noticed. How was that done?
But before Shen Wujiu, who was extremely curious, could continue to ask questions, the old man sitting next to him coughed softly a few times, reminding Shen Wujiu to talk about business first, so he stopped Shen Wujiu's words and quickly gave Zhang Yan made a recommendation.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the Special Cases Inspector from the palace, Wu Kui, Manager Wu. Our Special Cases Department is under the leadership of Manager Wu." Shen Wujiu hurried over from Lianshan City this time Just to do this. Wu Kui's arrival shocked him.
You must know that Wu Kui is not only the head of the Special Cases Department, but also the emperor's personal eunuch. He will never leave the palace at all, and all matters are handed down through his subordinates. Anyway, after working in the Special Cases Division for so many years, this was the first time Shen Wujiu heard that Wu Kui had left the imperial city.
"Mr. Zhang, Wu Kui has taken the liberty of visiting, and I would like to ask Mr. Haihan. It is true that Mr.'s previous feats in Lianshan City were too amazing and too important, so he had to come over in such a hurry." As soon as Wu Kui spoke, A high-pitched voice unique to eunuchs emerged.
"Haha, Manager Wu is so polite. He came all the way here, and Zhang Yan didn't treat him well. But he feels that he looks very familiar to Manager Wu. He seems to have seen him somewhere before, so naturally he won't get along. If anything happens, Manager Wu can always open up. Just say it." Zhang Yan followed Shen Wujiu's words and called Wu Kui "steward" instead of "adult". After all, eunuchs do not have formal official positions and are not on the official roster. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot be called "adults".
He understood that Zhang Yan had recognized him, and Wu Kui had this intention. Announcement was the necessary prerequisite for serious business. So he said with a smile: "Even what Mr. Zhang said, I feel that I am familiar with him before. Maybe it is fate."
"Hahaha, it is indeed fate."
"Since I have such a rapport with Mr. Wu, let me tell you straight. What I came here to do is the dead road that Mr. Zhang sealed in the mountains outside Lianshan City. First, I came to bring His Majesty's reward. I would like to thank you for your kindness. Secondly, I would like to ask you, can the sealing method be used in one place only, or can it be copied to other places?"
There was no foreshadowing, and Wu Kui also knew that since Zhang Yan and him had "revealed" their identities to each other, they wanted to get straight to the point. Naturally, he would not hide it.
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "I actually told Mr. Shen before that the Dead Silence Road in the direction of Lianshan City cannot be said to be sealed. It is just that some defensive measures have been added. Although the Twelve Tiangang Formation is not weak, it is not No copper or iron wall can be destroyed. Once the force protruding from the Dead Silence Road exceeds the capacity of the formation, or the twelve foundations of the formation are destroyed, then there will be no blockade."
To put it bluntly, the Twelve Tiangang Formation itself is not an extraordinary formation. Zhang Yan really didn't think he could guard against the big ghost kings in the ghost realm.
Of course, Zhang Yan was already very clear about Nanyuan Kingdom's thoughts at this time. The Dead Silent Road in the direction of Lianshan City was temporarily blocked, and the chain effect of this was definitely immediate. The entire Beijiang County will taste the benefits. This will certainly lead to related conjectures and expectations. Otherwise, why would Wu Kui make this trip himself?
"Mr. Zhang is right. There are no absolutes in the world. It is the first time in human history that the Path of Death can be temporarily blocked. Mr. Zhang's move will definitely leave a name in history and be remembered by future generations. Even those who Anyone who has saved their lives because of your husband’s kind deeds deserves to leave you with a blessing of eternal life!”
Although what he said was true, when Wu Kui said this now, he was obviously giving Zhang Yan a thumbs up. Make the necessary preparations for what you will say next.
"Mr. Zhang, Nanyuan Kingdom is now in trouble everywhere, and there are monsters raging in the southwest. It can be said that the situation is difficult due to ice and snow. Beijiang County was also like this, but now most of the difficulties have been thrown away because of Mr. Zhang's kind deeds. So Your Majesty I am very pleasantly surprised, and I hope that Mr. Zhang can use magical means elsewhere to help the Nanyuan Kingdom in the crisis. The whole Nanyuan Kingdom will be grateful! I am willing to repay you for your help in whatever way you want."
Wu Kui mentioned the emperor and used the expression "a helping hand", leaving the topic of reward to Zhang Yan himself. It is clear that I hope Zhang Yanshi will open his mouth. As long as he can help this, everything will be easy.
"Oh? So Manager Wu has mastered all the entrances and exits of the Dead Silence Road in Nanyuan Kingdom?"
