Wulong Inn

"It's right there." The man leading the way stopped, pointed to a low-lying place ahead, and respectfully said to Zhang Boxing behind him.

Zhang Boxing responded in vain when he heard the words, and went immediately without rushing. First, he roughly observed the surrounding terrain, and then walked slowly towards the place pointed by the man.

It was an ordinary meadow, with nothing special except that the terrain was a little low, but the faint smell of blood and a few broken wooden delivery trucks still added a little bit of mystery to it. color.

"Because you are coming, I didn't let everyone mess with the things here." Just listen to the man who led the way before, explain.

"You did a good job," Zhang Boxing praised after hearing the words, and then said: "The bones of the brothers..."

"All of them have been collected and sent back to Cangzhou." The other party heard the words and said immediately.

Zhang Boxing nodded when he heard the sound, and didn't say much. He began to look around in a blink of an eye. The scene was well protected, and the place where the corpse was located was carefully marked.Picking up a piece of chipped wood casually, looking at the smooth section, his expression was unclear, and he took a few steps forward. A few strange horseshoe prints caught his attention, and he leaned over to look at the strange shape. Mark, Zhang Boxing frowned fiercely.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao leaned over curiously. When he saw the imprint, he couldn't help but gasped, and blurted out, "Qiang Yuan Huitie!"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Boxing refused to comment, but turned to look at the man leading the way, and saw that the man on the other side also had a solemn face at this time: "It is because of these traces that the little one will write to you," he said. , He paused and said again: "In this world, there are not many horseshoes with stamps on them, and the stamps can last a month on the mud floor without fading, but only the iron produced by Qiangyuan!"

Seeing that the head of the family was noncommittal, the other party said anxiously: Originally, the younger one still had some doubts, but since Mr. Zhao has said so, then he is right, this time I am afraid he is really from Qiangyuan...

After saying this, everyone's expressions were a little ugly for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Boxing said lightly, "Everyone, listen to me first." The deep voice seemed to have some kind of soothing power. When he said this, everyone calmed down a lot. Zhang Boxing saw that everyone quieted down. , just about to say something, suddenly paused, and looked behind everyone.

I saw a horse team galloping towards here in the distance, and after a short while, the horse team came to the crowd, and saw them guarding a simple and simple carriage. Seeing the carriage, Zhang Boxing's eyes flashed with strangeness. He looked pale, but quickly disappeared, and saw him striding to the front of the carriage, clasped his hands to the hanging curtain, and said, "Second Uncle."

"Wow," the heavy curtain was pulled open, and an old man with a stern face appeared in front of everyone. He was the only survivor of the chaos in the Zhang family Zhang Erye. The big head who bowed and stood aside let out an angry snort, and then stepped out of the carriage proudly.

For a moment, his whole picture appeared in front of everyone. Obviously, he was not young anymore, and the knife-like lines on his face were full of vicissitudes. Not lost, although lost an arm, but standing in front of people, there is still a kind of proud momentum.

After getting off the carriage, Zhang Erye glanced at the crowd majestically, then turned his head and reprimanded Zhang Boxing: "Aren't you in charge of the Cangzhou trade route? What are you doing here?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Boxing first stopped the leading man who was about to speak, and then respectfully said: "Back to Second Uncle, it is because of some changes in the caravan, so..."

"Sophistry! This business route has been running well for so many years, what can happen!" The second master Zhang immediately reprimanded, without showing any face in his speech.

Hearing this, Zhang Boxing's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice: "This time the accident happened to one of the most powerful clubs set up by my Oolong Firm. Fifty brothers accompanied us." Looking at Second Master Zhang whose expression changed suddenly, Zhang Boxing continued unhurriedly: "With such manpower, ordinary horse thieves would not dare to covet it, but this time all their goods were robbed. He said that he didn’t even leave anyone alive, so it can be seen that the other party has an extraordinary background.” After a pause, Zhang Boxing continued: “Besides, this time, we also found the trace of Qiang Yuan Huitie, I’m afraid…”

"Enough!" Interrupting Zhang Boxing roughly, Zhang Erye said angrily: "What Qiang Yuan returned to the iron is simply nonsense, and the mysterious things are worth such a fuss. Let me tell you, those Qiang Yuan barbarians back then, They have been scattered by my Zhang family army, and even if there were any remaining tribes, they were all wiped out by the Yuan family, this Vanas has no other large tribes other than Rouran Manzhen, what is the purpose of your scaremongering here?"

After saying that, Second Master Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, as if he could dispel the anger in his chest, then he looked at Zhang Boxing again and said angrily: "I will take over everything here, you don't have to worry about it anymore, come back It’s enough for Cangzhou to take good care of the caravan.” After saying that, he glared at the people standing aside, and said loudly: “What are you doing standing there in a daze, why don’t you hurry up!”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Boxing at the side when they heard the words, and the old man couldn't help being even more angry when he saw this: "It's really against the sky, who is your master, do you want me to practice family law for one or two?"

Looking at the clamoring Second Master Zhang, Zhang Boxing frowned slightly, first winked at everyone, and then said: "Second Uncle, don't get angry, I will take Zhang Zhao away...

Leading the horse and walking slowly on the grassland, looking at the magnificent scenery around, Zhang Zhao lost the open-minded and far-reaching state of mind at the beginning. Thinking of what happened just now, he only felt a pang of breath in his chest. Zhang Boxing, who was silent, couldn't help but say: "It's too much!"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Boxing recovered from his contemplation, turned his head and glanced at the angry Zhang Zhao, and said calmly, "It's just that I was taught a few words by the elders, what's the matter?"

"But anyway, I should save some face with you. How can I reprimand you in front of so many people?" Seeing that Zhang Boxing did not speak, Zhang Zhao continued on his own: "And if Zhang's Dark Army and Oolong Firm do not have you , where did the climate like today come from, sir, you have a higher prestige..."

"That's enough," Zhang Boxing couldn't help interrupting, seeing that Zhang Zhao's words became less and less contentious, "It's really becoming more and more unruly." Looking at the still unconvinced follower, he said softly, "No matter what he said Also my second uncle."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao curled his lips and stopped talking, thought for a while and said, "Master, what should we do now?"

Zhang Boxing said in a deep voice: "Everything is still unclear now, so let's block the news first, so as not to cause confusion in the chamber of commerce. In the future, the chamber of commerce will have to join forces with more than three companies when they leave the customs, and send more people to accompany them." Said: "Take a message to General Luo and ask him to strengthen the defense of Jiaqingguan. If the situation changes, it is better to be prepared." After thinking for a while, Zhang Boxing finally said: "Take my token and let the dark soldiers Divide into two routes, one will go directly to General Luo, and the other will pass through Dahei Mountain and enter Wanas from the west, they have been nesting in the deep mountain for so long, it is time to come out and practice..."

When Zhang Zhao heard this, there was a flash of excitement in his eyes, and he replied loudly: "Yes." After thinking for a while, he said: "Master, where are you going?"

Upon hearing the words, Zhang Boxing replied, "I'm going to discuss with Yuan's family in September, but I have to go back to Cangzhou to make some arrangements." It’s the imperial examination in a few days, right?”

Zhang Zhao was taken aback when he heard the words, brought himself back to his senses, and immediately responded: "Yes, it seems that it will be July, but it is about to start." After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Boxing in a strange way and asked his master what he was doing. , but saw that Zhang Boxing did not know what he had thought of, and there were a few mysterious smiles on his face...
