Chapter 167 Deeds
Manager Ding did not ask Li Chuan and Zhang Yuan to go out for money. After asking about the location of the shop, he took two boys and went to buy paper figurines.
After Manager Ding left, Zhang Yuanwai apologized to Li Chuan and said: "I was reckless and brought the person here without asking questions clearly."
Li Chuan hurriedly said: "Yuanwai It's also a good intention, hoping that the paper man can stabilize him for a little longer."
Thinking about it, he said: "We will set off to find Xu Zhi County immediately to prevent the general's adopted son from causing trouble again. Things are coming.”
Zhang Yuanwai immediately agreed.
Then Li Chuantong left Zhang Yuan and three other people, got on the carriage and rushed to the county government office, and finally saw Xuzhi County before lunch.
After listening to them explain the cause and effect, Xuzhi County also began to have a headache.
Zhang Yuanwai said: "Doesn't Mr. Xu recognize Taoist Wen from the Four Gods Palace? Can you go to the Four Gods Palace and invite some monks?"
Xu Zhixian said: "I I have indeed recognized Mr. Wen for a long time, but he comes to me occasionally to reminisce about old times. I don’t know where to look for him, but I have only seen him once or twice in the past ten years.”
Then he said: "Since he just occupies an uninhabited hilltop, I think we can send some people to guard it for the time being. I will also inform County Sheriff Wu about this and see what arrangements the County Sheriff has."< br>
Li Chuan and Zhang Yuanwai both agreed.
Xuzhi County suddenly remembered something and said: "Brother Li, I heard that you and Taoist Wen resolved the matter in Xialin Village last time. Do you have any way to contact Taoist Wen? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai also looked at Li Chuan. He knew about the massacre in Xialin Village, but he didn't know that Li Chuan was also involved.
Li Chuan said: "We are temporarily unable to contact you."
He knew nothing about Yan Qingshan's current situation.
Then Magistrate Xu invited them to have dinner together, during which they talked about many deeds of the general's adopted son.
Although Zhang Yuanwai had heard a little about it, he didn’t know it in detail. Li Chuan, who knew nothing about it, listened with interest.
The adopted son of the general was named Chang Xiao. It was said that he was raised by wild animals. After being adopted by the general Chang Rimu, he learned to speak and etiquette again, which caused a lot of jokes in the capital.
But those are all things of the past.
General Chang Rimu has not married yet, and has only one adopted son named Chang Xiao, who has also made many achievements with him. Now in Beijing, many high-ranking officials want to marry their daughters to him.
Xu Zhixian said: "The last time I went to the capital, I saw him from a distance. He seemed to be a polite and sensible man. I didn't expect him to be crazy..."
He did not continue, but instead talked about his past with Wen Guying.
“At that time, I was still in my weak years. When I was traveling in the mountains and rivers, I stopped in a village due to wind and snow.” It was all a bit strange. I was thinking about leaving immediately after the wind and snow stopped. Unexpectedly, it was almost half a month and the snow didn't stop. I knew something was wrong, so I ran away in the snow while the villagers were not paying attention. I walked for a long time without getting out, and finally I fell, and the snow suddenly buried me. My limbs were so cold that I couldn't move, and I heard the voices of villagers talking in the distance. "
"I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect that when I woke up, my whole body was warm. A Taoist priest was sitting by the fire not far away. It was Taoist Wen. When he saw that I was awake, he invited me I used to drink and talk about it, saying that the disaster in my life was over, and everything would be smooth sailing from now on.”
"It turns out that the people in that village were all dead. They died in a snowstorm a few years ago. They also wanted to trap me there."
"After that time, I stopped going out and concentrated on being at home. Wen Shu, as expected, passed the exam in the second year." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai praised Xuzhi County for his profound blessings, and lamented that Wen Guying was a true god.
After lunch, Xuzhi County said that he had official business to deal with, so Li Chuan and Zhang Yuanwai Tongluo said goodbye and left. When passing the mountain that Manager Ding mentioned on the road, Tong got out of the car.
He said: "I'm going to do some exploration, take a look at the terrain, and see how to arrange it." He reassured Li Chuan and said, "I'll just walk around the foot of the mountain and never rush in."< br>
Li Chuan knew that Tong Luo was a cautious person, so he did not try to persuade him anymore and went straight back to Yunqiao Township with Zhang Yuanwai.
After that, there were officers and soldiers patrolling at the foot of the mountain day and night. Tong Luo and Gong Er San would take a look from time to time.
After more than ten days in a row, Manager Ding did not show up, and there was no news from the mountain. But an unexpected person came - Liu Canjun.
When Li Chuan opened the door and saw Liu Canjun, he was a little surprised, but he was very happy and said: "What brought you here? Come in quickly!"
Liu Canjun followed Li Chuan in the house He sat down and said, "I'm here because of Chang Xiao's affairs."
"What did the governor say?" Li Chuan asked while pouring tea.
Liu Canjun said: "The county governor has sent a letter to the capital. Although Chang Xiao does not have an official position now, he is the adopted son of the general and has made military exploits. He cannot be hurt no matter what. Of course, we can't let him go crazy and hurt other people."
"So I brought some people over and guarded the foot of the mountain with the people before," Liu Canjun took a sip of water. , leaned a little towards Li Chuan, and said, "Brother Li, you didn't contact Qin Tianjian or the monks in Xuanmen, did you?"
"No." Li Chuan replied. It seems that Governor Wu was very afraid that the adopted son of the general would be injured here, so he sent Liu Canjun, who was familiar with him, to inquire about the news.
Li Chuan told Liu Canjun what Manager Ding said, and then said: "I guess that paper man has worked. It's best for him to stay in the farmhouse on the mountain and don't come down to wait for the general." Come and take him back.”
Liu Canjun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, yes."
Then he said: "I still have to go up there to see what's going on. Brother Li, can you go with me?" Okay?”
“No, to tell you the truth, I have just recovered from a serious illness and cannot go out.” Li Chuan immediately refused.
In fact. The night before yesterday, he followed Tong Luo up the mountain while sitting next to him. He wanted to use the demon mirror to see Chang Xiao's true identity. But he didn't expect that he was discovered before reaching the top of the mountain, and the white sword light chased him.
Fortunately, Pang San ran fast and Brother Tong was familiar with the roads in the mountains and forests, so he ran out smoothly.
Just when Li Chuan was about to persuade Liu Canjun not to go, he heard a knock on the door.
Boom! Boom!
Who knocked so hard?
Li Chuan was about to get up and take a look when he heard Manager Ding's voice coming from outside the door, "It's not good, Mr. Li, it's not good!"
Li Chuan hurriedly walked out. After opening the door, Manager Ding rushed in and said: "My young master said that the successor of "The Classic of Patterns" has been eliminated, and the biggest obstacle has been solved. Now we will drive the demons to attack Jinhong County!"
