Chapter 340: Become famous in one battle
At dawn today, Zhang Xueming took Gong Yuanzheng to Pinghu Restaurant in Jiuchen Town to meet Zhang Qiu.
Gong Shangjiao originally wanted to bring him into the palace, but Zhang Xueming refused: "Uncle Qiu is my elder. Due to family rules, he calls himself a servant outside, but I can't really treat him as a servant. He has to worry about the things outside these days. It would be better for Ayuan and I to go directly to Pinghu Restaurant to meet him."
Gong Shangjiao thought about it, if he had to search and blindfold the person after bringing him in, it didn't seem like a thank you, but more like a slap in the face. It would be better for the two younger ones to run there.
After asking Zhang Xueming's opinion, he asked someone to prepare generous gifts and sent Jin Ting to go with them.
Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng arrived at Pinghu Restaurant. When Zhang Qiu saw how they were dressed, he smiled with satisfaction:
Zhang Xueming was wearing a peacock blue jacket and skirt, while Gong Yuanzheng was wearing a glazed blue robe. Both of their clothes had patterns of dancing cranes embroidered on the front and back. One could tell they were a couple just by looking at their clothes.
Zhang Qiu smiled and said, "That's right. Young people should wear bright clothes and ride horses, full of vigor and vitality. When you reach my age, you will be laughed at if you want to dress more youthfully."
These words made Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng both laugh.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Jin Ting presented the gift, closed the door, and obediently retreated to the yard to guard the room with Jin Miao.
Zhang Qiu asked the two little ones about their well-being before briefly telling Zhang Xueming about the investigation of Zhang Wenjin's past, the details of the various factions, the quarterly operating conditions of the shops in the main city... and then handed her a thick brown paper bag.
Zhang Xueming opened it on the spot and found, in addition to detailed written reports on various matters, there was also a list of New Year gifts.
She frowned. "Why did the New Year's gift arrive at this time? It should have arrived half a month ago. Did something happen on the way?"
Speaking of this, the corners of Zhang Qiu's mouth twitched unconsciously: "The leader of this team escorting the New Year gifts is Zhang Tong. The family gave them a temporary warning and told them not to take the route near the Wax Apple Mountains to prevent them from causing trouble and ruining your plan, so they changed their route and took the route through Kunyang City.
You also know Zhang Tong's murderous temper. With the bait in hand, how could he stay still? Under the banner of the escort agency, he flaunted himself all the way through the city, attracting the attention of countless thieves.
They suppressed mountain bandits and river bandits in the mountains, and they wiped out seven or eight large gangs in one go... The spoils were nearly three times more than the New Year gifts. There was no other way, so they could only go to the shops in Hunyuan City to collect people and horses, and divide the spoils and send them back home."
Gong Yuanzheng found this behavior strangely familiar and couldn't help but look at Zhang Xueming.
Zhang Xueming looked back calmly: [I learned how to use my brother to fish for the frontless fish from my family. Everyone in the Zhang family does this. Don’t look at Uncle Qiu’s helpless look. In fact, he is envious of Uncle Tong. If he were to lead the team, he would do even more than Uncle Tong.]
Gong Yuanzheng looked closely at Zhangqiu's expression and indeed found something strange.
He thought for a moment and said to Zhang Xueming: [I will learn from Zhao Zhao in the future.]
Zhang Xueming liked his serious attitude towards learning, and replied with a smile: [Ayuan will surely surpass his teacher.]
The two of them were busy chatting privately, and no one knew when Zhang Qiu stopped talking.
When he came to his senses, he saw Zhang Qiu looking at them and laughing silently, Zhang Xueming acted as if nothing had happened, but Gong Yuanzheng blushed slightly, lowered his head and didn't look at anyone, silently holding Zhang Xueming's hand.
"Now that Uncle Tong is here, why don't you go into the valley first?" Zhang Xueming changed the subject.
Zhang Qiu had seen enough of the show and was in high spirits: "He must be afraid that you would detain him and not let him go out and have fun."
Zhang Xueming did not ask any more questions. He explained what Zhang Qiu and the others needed to do, and told her that she and Gong Yuanzheng would set off to return to the northern border in late February: "Mr. Gong Er will go to Changling City with us."
Zhangqiu took advantage of Gong Yuanzheng's inattention and asked her with his mouth: Get married?
Seeing Zhang Xueming nod, he was overjoyed: "I'll arrange it in advance." He left happily, leaving behind half a room full of boxes of local specialties.
Jin Ting and Jin Miao, leading a group of guards, had just delivered the boxes to Zheng Palace when Jin Fu was called by Zhang Xueming again, who asked him to arrange for people to go to the dock to receive the New Year gifts from the Zhang family.
It was not as exaggerated as the time when she gave a "dowry", but the things were so full that they filled eight medium-sized cargo ships.
Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng are going to keep an appointment at the guard camp in the back mountain.
Seeing that Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi didn't want to go back to the back mountain so soon, Zhang Xueming handed them the list of New Year gifts and asked them to help check the items.
Just because Xu went out for a big meal, the two of them were so happy that they grabbed the dowry list and rushed to the place where the new year gifts were piled up like two big moths.
……
Back Mountain Guard Camp.
In the center of the martial arts arena, Zhang Xueming was holding an unsheathed long sword, with her long hair tied up high with a crown. On the left shoulder of her dark purple tights, a golden hydrangea was in full bloom.
Jin Tong stood opposite her holding a long knife, looking at her gentle smiling face, his heart beating fast.
The instructors and the jade servants who were waiting for their chance to play glared at Jin Tong with disappointment.
Zhang Xueming was in a good mood today and didn't mind Jin Tong's procrastination. However, when the onlookers urged Jin Tong to take action, a wave of murderous aura swept over indiscriminately, trying to make them quiet down.
result……
"Plop", Jin Tong knelt on one knee, leaning on his long sword, and his teeth started to chatter.
There were constant "thump" sounds outside the field. Many instructors and jade servants were kneeling on the ground, and a few of them even fainted.
Zhang Xueming was at a loss.
She didn't even add her spiritual awareness and internal strength to create pressure, she just used murderous aura to intimidate...
[Haven’t these Red Jade Maids and Yellow Jade Maids gone out and seen blood?] She asked Gong Yuanzheng, [Do you really have to be so outrageous?]
Gong Yuanzheng was not treated differently this time. Her murderous aura was aroused, her face flushed, her eyes watery, and she looked at her with a burning gaze: [Zhao Zhao is so strong! ]
Zhang Xueming met his gaze and curled his lips: [Ayuan, come in and set an example for them.]
Gong Yuanzheng really jumped into the field.
Zhang Xueming smiled apologetically at the embarrassed old instructor, and said to the instructors who were still able to stand but their legs were weak: "Clear the area."
Jin Tong was helped down with his head lowered, his ears were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.
No one laughed at him. Those people who were so arrogant a second ago now looked like defeated roosters, unable to even raise their heads.
Zhang Xueming ignored them and just looked at Gong Yuanzheng: "Come."
Gong Yuanzheng did not get close. He stroked the hidden weapon bag with his right hand, and two mini boomerangs were clasped between his fingers. He turned his body and swung his arms, and the boomerangs shot out with the internal force.
Zhang Xueming did not draw his sword, but simply used his skill to lightly push the boomerang off its course, defending instead of attacking.
Gong Yuanzheng used light skills and hidden weapons to control the situation from a distance and never got close to the enemy.
The two played a textbook exhibition match.
Gong Yuanzheng left to rest after the instructors and guards recovered. After discussing with the old instructor, he assigned them to go on stage in groups of ten to "learn" sword techniques.
This time, Zhang Xueming did not dare to show his murderous intent. He controlled his strength and played 18 coaching matches in a row, averaging three minutes per match.
In less than an hour, he had beaten up everyone in the Back Mountain Guard Camp except the old instructor.
She clasped her hands politely without blushing or breathing heavily: "Thank you."
Fight to fame.
However, she did not scare the instructors and servants in the back mountain. Instead, she brought out a group of fanboys whose eyes lit up when they saw her. Gong Yuanzheng was so frightened that he just pulled her away without even eating.
