030 closed doors
Mi Zhen smiled but did not answer, and handed a glass of wine to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan took the wine glass, touched it with Mi Zhen, and the two of them drank it all at the same time.
Then, Mi Zhen stood up, bowed to Zhang Yan, and said, "The little girl is too strong to drink, so she can't accompany the adult anymore, please forgive me." ”
After speaking, Mi Zhen turned around and left, heading straight for the back hall.
Zhang Yan looked at Mi Zhen's back, his steps were light, and he walked gracefully, which was really beautiful. He saw that Mi Zhen was about to walk out of the hall, and hurriedly shouted, "Miss Mi, you haven't answered my question yet." ”
"I'll leave this question to you to think about slowly."
In the whole hall, Zhang Yan was the only one left, he picked up the remaining half jar of wine, drank it in one gulp, and then got up and left the hall, under the leadership of the Mifu family, came to the haode room that had already been arranged.
That night, Zhang Yan didn't fall asleep for a long time, he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, his mind full of Mi Zhen's graceful figure.
Gradually, he fell asleep and had a spring dream, and the heroine in the dream was Mi Zhen.
When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Yan was still a pillar of optimus, and recalled that when he was happy with Mi Zhen in his dream last night, his psychological face was itchy.
I don't know why, since last night, until now, Zhang Yan's mind is full of Mi Zhen.
Could it be that he has fallen in love with Mi Zhen?
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a knock on the door, and Zhang Yan asked, "Who?" ”
"Master, it's me, Xu Sheng."
Zhang Yan jumped off the bed, moved a little, and waited for the thing in his crotch to be honest, then he put on his clothes, he opened the door and saw Xu Sheng standing at the door with a hot meal, and then he knew that Xu Sheng had come to bring food to himself.
He brought Xu Sheng into the room, asked Xu Sheng to sit down, and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Xu Sheng shook his head.
"Okay, sit down, let's eat together."
The food of this era, Zhang Yanchu was not used to eating at first, and he had no appetite, but if he didn't eat it, he would be hungry, so he forced himself to adapt to the food of this era.
The two of them gobbled up the food and ate it cleanly.
After breakfast, Zhang Yan took Xu Sheng to say goodbye to Mi Zhu, but Mi Zhu had not woken up yesterday because he was drunk, so Zhang Yan had to let the housekeeper Mi Qiang resign on his behalf.
At the same time, Zhang Yan asked Mi Qiang where Chen Qi's mansion was in the city, and Mi Qiang told them one by one.
As soon as Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng left Mi Mansion, Mi Qiang chased them out from behind and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Zhang, please wait!" ”
"Steward Mi, is there anything going on?"
Mi Qiang handed a letter in his hand to Zhang Yan and said, "This is the letter that my eldest lady asked me to pass on to you, please be sure to read it before going to Chen's mansion." ”
Zhang Yan immediately opened the letter, and saw that the handwriting on the letter was beautiful, and it was clearly written: "When adults see Chen Qi, you must not mention Chen Deng's name in front of Chen Qi, remember!" ”
After reading this letter, Zhang Yan frowned, it was only a dozen numbers, but it revealed a very important information. However, Weishenme could not mention Chen Deng's name in front of Chen Jue, and the letter did not mention it at all.
Zhang Yan clutched the letter tightly in his hand and arched his hand: "Steward Mi, please tell the eldest lady, just say that Zhang Yan thanks her for the reminder." ”
"Master Zhang walks slowly, and the small one must convey it on his behalf." Mi Qiang saw Zhang Yan turn around and leave, so he arched his hand.
Inside the gate of Mi Mansion, Mi Zhen stood at the door, looking at Zhang Yan's distant back through the crack in the door, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she turned around and walked into the mansion.
Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng followed the route pointed out by Mi Qiang and finally found Chen Qi's mansion.
Chen Qi lives in the eastern part of Tancheng, which is a residential area in the city, with many houses and streets and alleys, if you don't know the route, if you want to find the mansion where Chen Qi is accurate, I am afraid that it will be very difficult.
Chen Qi, the word, is Chen Deng's father and a celebrity in Xuzhou. But he lived in such a noisy residential area, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Yan.
"My lord, the front is Chen Jue's home." Xu Sheng pointed to an ordinary house in front of him and said.
Zhang Yan walked to the door of Chen's house, asked Xu Sheng to knock on the door first, and then waited quietly at the door.
After a while, a tall voice came from inside: "Who? ”
Through the crack in the door, Zhang Yan saw an old man with gray hair walking out of the hall with a cane, his steps staggering, even his cane hand kept trembling, and he coughed twice from time to time.
The old man's flesh and bones were craggy, his eyes were deep-set, his eyes were gray, and he walked towards the door of the room tremblingly.
"Is this person Chen Jue?" Zhang Yan said uncertainly.
While Zhang Yan was looking at the old man, the old man was also looking at Zhang Yan through the crack in the door, but his vision was not good, and he was a little dazed.
He walked to the door of the aisle, did not open the latch, but carefully looked at Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng, and then asked in a weak voice, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Excuse me, does Old Monk Chen Qi live here?" Zhang Yan arched his hand.
"Do you have anything to do with Chen Jue?" The old man asked.
"In Xia Zhang Yan, I came to visit, and asked the old man to ......"
Before Zhang Yan could speak, the old man interrupted him: "Please go back, Chen Qi is not a guest today." ”
"Then dare to ask the old man, Old Master Chen, when will you see the guest?"
"It's been a year since Chen Qi refused to be a guest, so please go back!"
After speaking, the old man turned around and walked towards the house, no matter how much Zhang Yan shouted, the old man didn't even look back.
Zhang Yan originally planned to say that he was delivering the letter for Chen Denglai, but when he remembered Mi Zhen's previous reminder, he simply gave up.
"Master, the wall of this courtyard is very low, do you want to climb over the wall to get in?"
"Trespassing on people's houses is an illegal act, this is Tancheng, Xuzhou Mu, Donghai County Taishou are all working here, the security is definitely better than other places, in case someone is raised, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble." Zhang Yan explained.
"That'...... What do we do now? Xu Sheng asked.
Zhang Yan said: "You and I will go our separate ways, meet at the restaurant over there at noon, and inquire about Chen Jue's situation, the more detailed the better." ”
"Whoa!"
The two separated in front of Chen Qi's door, and went against each other, Zhang Yan first inquired about the news from the households near Chen Qi, but unfortunately, the residents didn't know anything about Chen Qi's situation, only knew that Chen Qi had moved here since a year ago, and almost no people went out, and they rarely heard any movement at home.
Subsequently, Zhang Yan went to tea shops, wine shops, and restaurants to inquire about the news, but the news he received was pitiful.
He walked down the street, seeing that it was almost noon, and his heart was restless.
At this moment, a war horse ran out of nowhere, like crazy, and rampaged through the street, startling the crowd, screaming and galloping, trampling each other, and the scene was chaotic.
Zhang Yan looked carefully, but saw that the war horse was slick, its mane was black and shining, its two bright eyes were flashing, its four hooves were strong, and it neighed, like a thunderclap, straight into the sky.
"What a horse!" Zhang Yan sighed secretly.
Suddenly, I don't know whose child it was, was knocked to the ground by a pedestrian, lying there crying and shouting for his mother, just in the middle of the road.
The out-of-control war horse was like a headless fly, galloping all the way, but the child kept crying and didn't know how to avoid it. When the pedestrians saw it, they were also worried, but none of them came to the rescue, for fear of being knocked off by the runaway war horse.
"Son...... My son...... Save my son...... "The mother lost the child, searched everywhere, and happened to see, but she was too far away from the child, and even if she ran over, the child had already been knocked away by the horse.
It was too late, it was too fast, and a figure suddenly jumped out of the crowd and directly blocked the child, it was Zhang Yan.
I saw that the horse, with its four hooves in the air, like an arrow in the wind, rushed straight towards Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was calm and unhurried, and when the horse jumped up head-on, he flashed his body, grabbed the horse's mane with his hand, totoed, jumped on the horse's back, clamped his legs, and firmly restrained this violent guy under his crotch.
The horse neighed, and its two front hooves were erected, trying to lift Zhang Yan off his back. But no matter how the horse swooped forward and backwards, tossed left and right, Zhang Yan sat firmly on the horse's back, like an ancient tree with roots.
At this time, the child's mother arrived in time, picked up the child and retreated to the side to avoid danger.
But the runaway war horse was not subdued by Zhang Yan, and it seemed that he did not want to admit defeat, his mane stood on end, his hooves were flying, he was running wildly, and he knocked over many stalls on the street, but fortunately, pedestrians avoided it in time, and no one was injured.
"Evil animals, dare to go wild?" Zhang Yan grabbed the mane of the horse tightly, and never let go, seeing that the war horse under the seat was still rushing indiscriminately, he was afraid of hitting people again, so he took out a short blade from his waist in an instant, and prepared to kill the horse in public.
Coincidentally, the horse seemed to know that Zhang Yan was going to kill it, kicked it twice, and gradually became obedient, and stopped quietly in the middle of the street.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan just put away the short blade. At this moment, thunderous applause rang out on both sides of the streets, and pedestrians were cheering for Zhang Yan for subduing these war horses.
"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, more than a dozen cavalrymen chased from the direction where the horses were running, the first one was wearing a familiar copper helmet, wearing iron armor, a pair of gloomy eyes with a little chill, and the left side of the face with a scar looked particularly hideous.
When the pedestrians saw the cavalry coming, they all got out of the way, and at the same time they were all afraid.
More than ten cavalrymen slowly walked into the streets and alleys under the leadership of the leader, glanced at the war horse under the seat that was subdued by Zhang Yan, and then looked at Zhang Yan, the leader raised his horse whip and asked: "This war horse, you subdued it?" ”
Zhang Yan nodded.
"Such a fierce horse, the general was not subdued, but you were subdued, you are so capable." The leader was expressionless, not knowing whether he was complimenting or resentful.
Zhang Yan said: "It's just a coincidence! ”
"Coincidence? I hope it's a coincidence, but aren't you fucking talking nonsense with your eyes open? Even Lao Tzu couldn't subdue the fierce horse, but you subdued it and spread it, how will Lao Tzu mix in Xuzhou in the future? ”
"You can mix as much as you like, what's the matter with me?"
"Damn, I'm impatient, don't you know who Lao Tzu is? Say it for fear of scaring you! The leader roared.
"Then you can tell me and see if I can be scared by you?" Zhang Yan retorted.
"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, Chang Feng is Lao Tzu!" The man at the head said loudly.
When the passers-by heard the name Chang Xuan, their faces were a little afraid, but Zhang Yan did not change his face and was indifferent.
"Who should I be, it turns out that you are Changda Wild Boar......"
Chang Xuan's face was bruised, and he immediately shouted: "How the hell do you dare to scold Lao Tzu for being a wild boar? ”
Zhang Yan quipped: "I didn't scold you. Don't you know? The word 豨 refers to a huge wild boar, I said that you are a Changda wild boar, is there anything wrong? ”
Chang Feng blew his beard angrily and glared, waved the horsewhip in his hand forward, and shouted to the more than ten cavalrymen around him: "Kill him!" ”
