the next day.
Xie Fan got up early and walked around Taiyin Mountain, arranging every place properly.
He asked Ah Fu to prepare some goods and prepare to go to western Sichuan.
No matter how coquettishly Lin Yue acted, he insisted on going alone.
Back at the house, Chu Ge was dressed in black and boxing.
Xie Fan stepped forward and praised the opponent's skills, "Brother Chu, looking at the entire Luo Kingdom, you are also a first-rate master!"
"No!" Chu Ge withdrew his fists and feet, and his attitude towards Xie Fan changed drastically, "There are mountains beyond the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky!"
"If I were half as skilled as you, I would be satisfied!"
"Brother Xie, if you are willing to learn, I can teach you a few tricks!"
Xie Fan would never let go of such an opportunity. After all, with more methods, there would be more chances of survival.
All day long, he followed Chu Ge and acted as a trainer.
After sunset.
Xie Fan was already exhausted, "We are leaving tomorrow. How are your arrangements going?"
Chu Ge handed the other party a dagger, "This dagger is named Yun Ni. It blows hair and breaks hair, and cuts iron like mud!"
Xie Fan laughed at himself, "You gave me a dagger. It seems that you are not sure!"
"No!" The Chu singer was as light and easy as a snake, "This dagger is a gift from me to thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have met Ziying?"
"Nothing is absolute! If I am in any danger, you must be in the court and take more care of the Xie family!"
"Brother Xie, trust my methods and nothing will happen to you!"
The more determined the other party is, the more uncertain Xie Fan becomes.
Go to bed early.
After daybreak, the team was assembled early.
Zhang Chao was accompanied by twenty soldiers, each of whom wore armor.
Xie Fan is no exception. He is fully armed and thinks of it as a practice.
Chu Ge had already left before dawn.
Xie Fan said goodbye to everyone and ordered the convoy to set off.
This trip to western Sichuan will take at least four days.
In the meantime, Xie Fan stopped by Lin's house, dropped some wine and gifts, and left.
This time, he didn't bring the maid, nor Ah Fu.
Zhang Chao was sitting in the car. From this battle, he knew that things were not simple. "Master, before entering western Sichuan, we should make good repairs. There is no need to be in a hurry on this journey!"
Xie Fan patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Don't be too nervous. Those people don't dare to be too presumptuous under the clear sky."
Zhang Chao looked out the window. Those inconspicuous corners might be hiding dangers. "Young Master, one day, our shops will open in every county in Luo State!"
"You really dare to think!" Xie Fan was lying by the window, counting the birds flying by, "If by that time, I guess you and I will become old men carrying bird cages to the park!"
Zhang Chao didn't quite understand, but he still firmly believed in his idea, "No matter where the shop opens, I will be in Taiyin Mountain and be my neighbor with the young master!"
"No, when the house in Zhengyang Mountain is built, I will reward you with a big house. From now on, we will live in this mountain for a few days and that mountain for a few days!"
The journey is long, but Xie Fan is not in a hurry.
The convoy stops and goes, and when it encounters a county town, it always goes in for a stroll and treats the brothers to some delicious food.
When it gets dark, I stay in an inn and never travel at night.
The soldiers all said that this long journey was more like an outing.
In the vast world, there are always some carefree people clutching poems.
Xie Fan also made acquaintances with a few people and agreed to meet again in Taiyin Mountain in the future.
Zhang Chao loved weapons. He passed by a blacksmith shop with exquisite craftsmanship and ordered a sword. He said he would pick it up when he returned.
Along the way, intentionally or unintentionally, everyone gave themselves an excuse to go back.
On this day, the weather was not kind and it rained heavily.
It’s still half a day’s journey from western Sichuan.
Everyone stayed at the inn, just in time for some repairs.
Zhang Chao took his people to the market to buy food and wine.
Xie Fan was alone in the room, dancing with a dagger and practicing self-defense moves.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Chu Ge shook the rain off his hat and entered the house, "Brother Xie, you are a bit slow. I have been waiting for you for two days!"
"The journey is so beautiful that I will never leave!" Xie Fan said casually, putting the dagger back, "Brother Chu, to be honest, my heart has been uneasy."
Chu Ge found a place to sit down and poured a glass of water. "You still don't trust me! This dagger can save your life if you meet someone from the imperial court!"
Xie Fan was stunned, "What is the origin of this dagger?"
Chu Ge smiled and took out a roast chicken from his arms, "Come on, eat some first! Bring out your good wine!"
"Brother Chu, I really have no intention of eating!" Xie Fan walked around the room, touching the dagger in his arms, "Your martial arts are too difficult to learn. It would be great if you taught me earlier!"
"This is the famous Western Sichuan roast chicken. Don't you want to try it?"
Xie Fan pulled off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "Where did you buy this roast chicken?"
"Of course I bought it in western Sichuan!"
"The roast chicken is still hot, who are you kidding?"
Chu Ge shook his head, "Really! My horse is a thousand-mile horse!"
Xie Fan chewed the chicken, it was indeed delicious, "Will the Mountain God Gang take action before I enter the city?"
"No! We've checked the area and there's no trace of them! If we want to take action, we have to leave the city!"
"What about the city? It's possible!"
"Don't worry in the city, arrangements have been made!"
After Chu Ge finished eating the roast chicken, he stood up and prepared to leave, "I will always be in the dark, don't worry!"
Xie Fan nodded, wondering whether the other party was trustworthy.
If Chu Ge had evil intentions, he would have no chance of surviving.
However, if Chu Ge really wants to take action, why bother?
Soon after, Zhang Chao led someone into the house.
This man is of medium build, has a ferocious face, and looks a little arrogant.
"Master, this is my friend named Pang Yuan."
Xie Fan stood up and greeted him respectfully, "Brother Pang Yuan, please come in quickly!"
Pang Yuan glanced at Xie Fan and sat aside, "Are you Xie Fan?"
"Yes, I am!" Xie Fan said politely, not minding the other party's unreasonableness at all. After all, there are more troublesome things, "Zhang Chao, go to the car to get some good wine to entertain Brother Pang!"
Zhang Chao got the wine and several people sat together.
Pang Yuan never smiled, but his words were mostly mean, "This pork belly is too old and not chewy! The wine is good, but it's just too little, not enough to drink!"
Zhang Chao's face looked a little ugly, and he was about to have a fit when Xie Fan stopped him.
"Zhang Chao, go get more wine. Today, let Brother Pang drink to his heart's content!"
As soon as Zhang Chao left, Pang Yuan walked straight to the bed and lay down as if no one was around.
Xie Fan didn't say anything. He stepped forward to cover the other person with a quilt and returned to his seat.
The sound of rain outside the house made Xie Fan fascinated.
He whispered softly, "Whenever it rains on the sycamore leaves, the sound of the leaves is parting."
