Chapter 196 The Visitor Is Unkind
It is snowing heavily outside, but it is warm as spring inside.
The firewood in the fireplace is burning brightly, and the copper kettle placed on the iron stand is steaming. A few skewers of rabbit meat next to it have been roasted to a crispy texture and are giving off a strong aroma. fragrance.
Zhang Yuan sat on the armchair in front of the fireplace, the bright firelight shining on his face, making him let out a long sigh of relief.
The winter in Xia Xu is quite long. With abundant supplies, Maodong’s life is quite comfortable.
During this period of time, Zhang Yuan intentionally shortened his training time.
Because his martial arts practice has reached a bottleneck, and he cannot improve no matter how hard he practices.
On the contrary, going too far is not enough.
Zhang Yuan spent his free time on trivial matters in ordinary life.
Shoveling snow, chopping firewood, making tea, cooking, barbecue, reading...
Let your mind really calm down and review your martial arts career bit by bit.
He read "Jiang Hu Lu" over and over again, and repeatedly understood Liu Qiniang's experience of breaking through the situation.
Silently making final preparations to open up the Qi Sea.
The rabbit skewers are ready.
Zhang Yuan sprinkled salt on it and took a bite. It tasted quite good.
In order to facilitate long-term storage, the meat he stocks at home is basically homemade bacon and cured meat.
The fresh barbecued rabbit meat in his hand is the trophy of the red-eyed crow.
This high-level messenger seems to have awakened its instincts and patrols the nearby area every day to hunt small animals such as hares, mountain rats, and golden-tailed pheasants that forage in the snow.
The result greatly enriched Zhang Yuan’s food ingredients.
Eat a bite of barbecue and drink a sip of hot tea to relieve your tiredness. It is delicious and satisfying!
But he had just finished two skewers of rabbit meat and suddenly frowned.
Because at this time, the red-eyed crow guarding outside suddenly sent a warning!
Zhang Yuan immediately switched to the perspective of the red-eyed crow, and found a group of five people trekking towards his home through thick snow.
Although the place where Zhang Yuan's house is located falls within the scope of Xishanji, it is quite far away from its neighbors.
There are no other houses nearby.
So this group of people must be coming for him!
Zhang Yuan also saw that three of them were carrying huge sacks, and he didn’t know what was inside.
After thinking about it, he sat up from the armchair covered with tiger skin, left the room and went outside the yard.
Zhang Yuan opened the door directly and stood in front of the door expressionlessly, watching the other party and others coming over.
This group of people wore thick animal skin coats, bear skin hats, and swords and weapons on their waists. They were all strong and strong, exuding a strong aura.
The leader was a sturdy man with a lion's mouth and a broad nose.
When he saw Zhang Yuan coming out and waiting for his group, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
The sturdy man immediately smiled, strode up to Zhang Yuan, clasped his fists and saluted, "I'm Wei Chongshan, the incense master of Zhenwu Sect's inner hall. May I ask if this is in front of His Excellency Zhao Yun?"
True martial arts!
Zhang Yuan nodded: "I am Zhao Yun, what can I do for you?"
He immediately remembered what Qu Hong and Old Man Kou said to him.
It is said that Zhenwumen is a gang in Xixu. It lost in the conflict over the territory and suffered heavy losses. It was forced to withdraw from Xux City in order to make a comeback.
And they focused on Xishanji, intending to use it as a temporary stronghold.
This news had spread throughout Xishanji long before the arrival of winter.
It caused quite a stir.
But everyone believes that even if Zhenwu Sect is coming, it will be when winter turns to spring.
For the residents of Xishanji, compared with the threat of Zhenwumen, how to survive the winter is the most practical problem.
So this incident blew past like a gust of wind. Although it caused ripples, it quickly calmed down again. Zhang Yuan did not expect that before the cold winter was over, people from the Zhenwu Sect would actually come to visit in the snow.
The person who came here is evil!
To be honest, Zhang Yuan was extremely bored at this moment, and even had a violent impulse.
That is to instantly apply the power of multiple bodies to kill all the people in front of you.
It’s all over!
In order to avoid powerful enemies, he had to separate from his close relatives and run to this deserted land to live in seclusion and practice.
However, even Xia Xu, which cannot be radiated by the power of Da Qian, still has disputes, grudges, and interests.
There is no way to completely avoid it!
The murderous intention suddenly arose, and Zhang Yuan suppressed it forcibly.
He returned the greeting calmly: "It turns out to be Lord Wei Xiang, what's your purpose?"
It is unrealistic to kill someone right now.
You must know that Zhenwu Sect has one fifth-level and four fourth-level. Even if the current strength is greatly damaged, Zhang Yuan is not able to deal with a third-level.
And the group of people from Zhenwu Sect in front of them definitely didn't come here secretly to cause trouble.
Once someone dies here, Zhenwumen will definitely investigate.
When a fourth-level Zhenqi warrior comes, Zhang Yuan will have to abandon his home and run away, and look for another place to survive.
What a troublesome place in this world of ice and snow!
Wei Chongshan was slightly startled.
For some reason, he suddenly felt creepy and had the illusion of being near an abyss.
What gave him a strong sense of danger was Zhang Yuan in front of him!
But this feeling only existed for a moment, and then disappeared.
But Wei Chongshan also put away his contempt, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that our Zhenwu Sect plans to set up a brand in Xishanji after the spring. Please help me show my support.”
The Zhenwu Sect Incense Master waved his hand: “Bring it up!”
The three warriors immediately placed the sacks on their shoulders in front of Zhang Yuan, and then they all clasped their fists and saluted.
Wei Chongshan smiled and said: "Your Excellency Zhao Yun, this is a bit of our kindness, please accept it."
Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said: "You're welcome."
< br>After a pause, he again Added: "I will definitely go there then!"
Zhang Yuan has no interest in Zhenwu Sect's "mind", but now is not the time to fall out, and there is no need to slap the other party in the face - after all, Wei Chongshan Very good attitude.
As for other things, let’s wait until the Zhenwu Sect really comes!
Wei Chongshan laughed: "Thank you very much. I'll go back first, Your Excellency Zhao Yun. We'll see you in the spring!"
"Goodbye."
This Zhenwu Sect Incense Master But he was very straightforward and turned around and left with a few of his subordinates.
Not sloppy at all.
Zhang Yuan watched the group of people drift away and disappear into the vast snow.
He reached out and opened the tie of one of the sacks, and found that it contained a skinned and cleaned mutton sheep!
The effort is not small, but the plan must be big!
Zhang Yuan smiled coldly, and then opened the other two sacks.
One is filled with rice, and the other is stuffed with dozens of bamboo cans.
He is no stranger to this kind of jar, which is usually used to hold oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, spices, etc.
I have to say that the kindness that Zhenwu Sect brings to my door is as real as bringing warmth to someone in the cold winter!
Zhang Yuan believes that many people in Xishanji will like this pie falling from the sky.
What a pity there is poison in the pie!
