Journey To Longevity

The Hengzhou county city is different from many cities and counties. The most conspicuous thing is that the city wall was built. The square or rectangular shape was abandoned, and the city was built along the mountains and water systems. The city wall is more than 80 miles around, and the size of the area is almost similar to the medium-sized square city of Binhai City, but this scale is one of the best in the world, and half of the prosperity of a county is located here.

Originally, it was stipulated in Zhang Guodian's law that "everyone who travels by car and horse must pass by."

However, Zhang Shiping didn't have any household registration evidence such as "Guo Suo Jie Biography", but the city gate guard seemed to have forgotten about it, and let him go. This is not Zhang Shiping casting some invisibility spell, or casting some illusion on those people.

It's just because Zhang Guozuo has been handed down for nearly two hundred years. Although many codes exist, they have long been replaced by modifications. These people saw Zhang Shiping's fair complexion, beautiful clothes, smart and took a look at his hands, his fingers were slender and even his nails were neatly trimmed and rounded, they immediately let him pass without any difficulty.

There are three gates in the east city, and Zhang Shiping walked out the last one, the 'East Yumen Gate', walking on the streets in the city, looking at the scenery in the city with great interest, there are countless merchants and travelers passing by, and the shops are row upon row, bustling Such as weaving.

It's just that from the moment he walked into the city gate, there were a few short-clothed and barefoot men following behind him. These people followed from a distance and did not dare to get too close. These are just some porters. If they do a proper job, they will be ordered around, lead the way, salute with burdens, and earn a few copper coins. Of course, sometimes seeing someone with a rough face and seeming to be rich, one will inevitably have evil intentions, so that's another story.

Zhang Shiping naturally discovered these people early on, but he didn't care, and he didn't intend to have any interaction with these people.

"Get out of the way, let me get out of the way." Zhang Shiping was walking when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front of him, and someone shouted non-stop. The pedestrians on the street hurriedly avoided, and the vendor quickly moved his stall inward. some.

Zhang Shiping dodged a little along with the people around him.

As soon as he stepped in, six or seven horses came and rushed along the road. The leader was a white horse, and on the saddle was a sassy girl dressed as a teenager. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. The whip lashed out, and the horse galloped, rushing across the road like the wind. Behind her was a few cavalry, all of them in green cloth short clothes, with a calm breath, not like ordinary servants, more like Jianghu masters.

Among the short-clothed and bare-footed men who followed behind Zhang Shiping, one of them didn't seem to hear the previous shout for some reason. When he realized it, he passed the green-clothed rider behind the woman. Fortunately, In the end, he narrowly dodged away, but the whole person also fell to the side in embarrassment, smashed into a small stall, his things were scattered all over the ground, and he clutched his chest on the ground and wailed nonstop.

"Oh, I hit someone, I hit someone to death." The men who were walking with him shouted quickly.

The woman pulled up the rein and stopped the horse with a squeak, she turned her head and saw that there were some porters and coolies, she didn't care, she just shouted crisply: "Si, handle the matter well, and follow up. "

After she finished speaking, she made a sound of 'driving', and the whip slapped in the air, leading the rest of the people towards the city gate quickly.

The Ah Si in the woman's mouth was a rather heroic middle-aged man, and after hearing the woman's order, he responded and immediately got off the horse.

The short-clothed and barefoot men who were yelling at the side saw a few people running away, and while yelling, they surrounded the middle-aged man named Ah Si. One of them went up and pulled the rein, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

But the man was not in a hurry, he didn't look at these people, but at this moment a big black man with a big arm and a round waist climbed down from the second floor of a nearby restaurant and ran over in a hurry. This man was tall and strong, but his movements were extremely clean and neat. Once he landed, his movements didn't show the slightest sloppy movement, and his steps were two or three feet away. But as soon as he came, he immediately slapped those short-clothed and bare-footed men four or five times with his cattail palm without saying a word, directly slapping them all.

Those few people seemed to recognize the big black man, they didn't dare to turn back, and just hugged and dodged.

"Okay, you don't have to play prestige in front of me." Na Ah Si looked at him coldly for a while, then waved his hand to stop.

"Fourth Master, these are newcomers, they don't have eyes, you have a lot of adults, you have a lot of adults!" The black man turned around and said with a charming smile.

"Next time, if there are people who don't have long-sighted eyes and bump into me right away, don't blame me for not giving Hei Jiao face. There are a lot of gangs in Hengzhou City who can do things, and there is no need for one of your Hei Jiao Gang." The blue cloth jacket The young man said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he took out two dimes of silver from his pocket and threw it to the stall owner, then got on his horse and gave chase.

The stall owner grabbed the silver on the ground with a happy smile, and quickly put it in his arms.

The big black man strode towards the man who was still lying on the ground, grabbed him, threw him to the others, and said fiercely: "You guys who don't have eyes, how dare you blackmail that man?" Could it be that you are looking for death on this nobleman?"

Everyone gathered around and whispered.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping had a slight smile on his face, turned around and disappeared from the crowd.

...

...

And just when Zhang Shiping first stepped into Hengzhou City.

In Prince Naheng's mansion, the back garden.

There was an old man with chicken skin and white hair, dressed in common clothes, and outside the pavilion, he was slowly punching to strengthen his body, so as to relax his muscles and blood.

It's just that when the fight was halfway through, it suddenly stopped and turned around to see an old man in brocade clothes rushing over.

"Cai Daoyou, why do you have time to find the old man today?" The old man in plain clothes said with a smile when he saw the person coming.

"Brother Zhiyu, Cai came here this time to ask Xia Zhiyu if he has ever been back?" asked the old man in brocade clothes with a worried expression on his face.

"Isn't my elder brother invited to your Cai's house by the head of your family? Why did you ask me? Why, what happened?" Zhang Zhiyu was surprised when he heard this, and his face changed suddenly.

At this moment, the old man in brocade clothes showed a look of hesitation.

"The old man also wants to know what happened?" At this moment, a monk in blue shirt appeared outside the pavilion and walked towards the two of them.

The fallen Zhiyu and the clothed old man Zhiyu are brothers of the same mother, and both came from the lineage of King Zhang Guoheng. It's just that the two brothers have different aptitudes and opportunities. They both practiced for more than a hundred years. One established the foundation and became the elder of the Zhang family's foundation. year.

Zhang Shiping sent someone to Xiaofenggu, and Na Zhiyu took over the task precisely because he was born in Zhang State. Based on Zhang Shiping's guess. He should go back to Prince Heng's Mansion, so that's why he came here first.
