On the way back, Xu Zizhen was still proud of the name he had chosen for himself. Shenji Camp was one of the three major battalions of the Imperial Guards in the capital during the Ming Dynasty. It was a special unit that specialized in handling firearms. It was very prestigious at the time.
All directions.
Of course, he would not explain the origin of the name to Wen Chengyan and others. He only said eight words: unpredictable and unpredictable!
Everyone couldn't help but cheer for the name he chose, but Xu Zizhen no longer had the energy to argue with them. After such a fierce battle during the day, he had almost exhausted all his energy. When he returned to the pass, he had to go through the lengthy selection process at the school grounds.
At that time, he already felt weak in his limbs and dizzy. He had no doubt that if there was a bed next to him, he would lie down immediately and fall asleep.
The Five Hundred Shenji Battalion stayed here. Bu Fen was appointed as the deputy captain and temporarily stayed to look after his brothers. The horse thieves were used to being unrestrained, so he had to restrain them to avoid causing trouble.
He Liangliang returned to Guan Guan first, and Liu Feng followed him out of curiosity about the cannons. Finally, Xu Zizhen returned to Lanzhou City alone and went straight to the prefect's Yamen.
When he entered the city, the sky was completely dark, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. It had been nearly a month since he left Lanzhou, and there was still no change in Lanzhou city. There were still the same number of yamen outside the prefecture's yamen.
Xu Zizhen held on to his sleepiness and said hello to them, and hurried to his room, not wanting to say a few words to them at all.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a lot of changes here. The originally deserted courtyard was now tidy, with weeds and rocks no longer visible. A garden of orchids was planted in the corner. Now,
Although it was not the flowering season, the clusters of weak green leaves still brought vitality to the yard. As soon as Xu Zizhen was about to step into the yard, he couldn't help but be stunned. His first reaction was that he was in the wrong place.
At this moment, the door of a nearby room suddenly opened with a creak, and then a handsome figure came out, holding a wooden bucket in his hand, and the cuffs of his hands were slightly rolled up, revealing a section of lotus root.
The jade arm is actually Xu Zizhen's maid Kou Qiaoyi.
Xu Zizhen's heart suddenly felt warm for no reason, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and he whispered: "Qiaoyi."
Kou Qiaoyi was suddenly shaken, and her steps stopped. When she looked up, she saw a face at the courtyard door that she had missed for a long time, looking at her with a smile.
Boom!
The wooden bucket fell from his hand and fell to the ground, and the water in the bucket splashed all over the floor. Kou Qiaoyi's face was filled with tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, is it really you?"
Xu Zizhen suddenly panicked, rushed over, held Kou Qiaoyi's face with both hands, and said anxiously: "My little darling, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, don't cry... Did someone bully you?"
Kou Qiaoyi had heard such a disgusting name before, and her face suddenly turned red like a New Year's couplet. However, she really stopped crying. She lowered her head and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito: "No one is bullying me."
I, Qiaoyi just...just..."
She didn't say the reason until the end, but Xu Zizhen already understood that it was because she missed him.
Kou Qiaoyi was originally a lady who came from a scholarly family. She had an elegant and refined temperament, and her appearance was delicate and graceful. Now, under the pear blossoms and the rain, she had a shy look. Xu Zizhen couldn't help but look at it in a daze.
He stared blankly at her little face, dumbfounded.
"Master..."
Kou Qiaoyi's face turned redder and redder when he looked at her, as if she was about to bleed, and she couldn't help but let out a low cry again.
Only then did Xu Zizhen wake up, he laughed sheepishly, took her little hand and said: "It's windy outside, come in and talk."
Entering the house, Xu Zizhen was startled again by the sight in front of him. When he left Lanzhou City, his house had been kept clean by Kou Qiaoyi, but after all, the house was in disrepair and many places had loomed
It was dilapidated, but now the whole house seems to have been newly built. The walls have been repainted, the roof has been repaired, and even the furniture has been wiped spotless. The whole house is so new that it shines through.
Xu Zizhen was stunned and blurted out: "This...is this my house?"
Kou Qiaoyi said a little shyly: "Qiaoyi had nothing to do, so he tidied up a little. It will be the New Year in a short time, and the young master's residence must have a new look."
Xu Zizhen sighed with emotion. Before he could speak, Kou Qiaoyi seemed to have remembered something again. He took out a set of clothes from the closet and handed them to Xu Zizhen's hand with a blushing face.
This is an ordinary short suit. This is what Xu Zizhen usually wears. The cuffs and trouser legs are buttoned up, and he moves very neatly. As soon as Xu Zizhen took it in his hands, he felt something was different. When he touched it carefully, he found that there was something different in the sleeves and trouser legs.
It seems to be loaded with something, a hard piece.
"What the hell is this?"
Kou Qiaoyi said: "Qiaoyi thought that the young master was used to fighting with others at close quarters, so he asked someone to find a few pieces of pig iron, wrap them in coarse cloth and sew them on the elbows and knees. I don't know if they are of any use to the young master.
.”
Xu Zizhen was very happy, and he touched the places where the iron was sewn. Sure enough, the tentacles were stiff. When fighting, he only relied on swords and guns. If he was fighting with people in close combat, then this suit of clothes would be of great use. No matter who's forehead
If you get hit by this iron lump, you will get a big tumor even if you don't faint.
He sincerely praised: "It's useful, it's so useful! Tsk tsk, I don't know what kind of virtue I have accumulated in my previous life, so that I can have such a pretty maid like you who is both beautiful and intelligent, as well as careful and clever!"
Kou Qiaoyi's face turned red after finally recovering, and she quickly changed the subject: "Sir, where have you been these days?"
Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "I have gone to many places this time. Please sit down and listen to me slowly telling you."
Then he talked about the things that happened after setting off from Lanzhou City one by one. When he talked about happiness, Kou Qiaoyi was amused and chuckled. When he talked about danger, Kou Qiaoyi was frightened and screamed, until Xu Zizhen
Kou Qiaoyi's voice gradually became lower and lower, and Kou Qiaoyi burst into tears when she mentioned that Li Meng fell off the cliff in order to leave him a trace of life.
In the entire city of Lanzhou, Kou Qiaoyi was the closest person besides Xu Zizhen and Liu Fengsui. Normally, Li Meng would call her "Sister Qiaoyi" when he saw her, but she never expected that Li Meng just went back.
Hometown, I can never come back.
Xu Zizhen sighed softly, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from Kou Qiaoyi's cheeks, gritted his teeth and said: "I must avenge Xiao Meng, I swear I will not be a human being in the Immortal Sanjue Hall!"
Although Kou Qiaoyi was only a maid, she had heard about Sanjue Hall. When Xu Zizhen said this, she couldn't help but worry: "Young master, Sanjue Hall is famous in Xixia and has great power. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's not something you can defeat.
.”
Xu Zizhen snorted disdainfully: "What a big fart! Sanjuetang? Humph, I have never seen their names in history books."
