Seeing that the old man was about to close the door without any explanation, Zhang Xiaozu quickly identified himself and his intention, and took out the badge given by Butcher Zhang.
"Ouch!" the old man screamed, hurriedly opened the door, got out of the way, and said repeatedly: "Young masters, please come in quickly! Please come in quickly!"
And he said in fear: "I don't know that these young masters are the nobles of the prince. I have offended you so much. I beg for forgiveness!"
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xiaopou waved his hand and said it didn't matter. Then he looked into the depths of the courtyard and said, "The four of us are going to move in today. But there are countless houses in such a big courtyard. I don't know where to live. Please make arrangements with the elderly.
"
The Guowei Mansion is so big that even Zhang Xiaopeng couldn't get a full view of it even if he spread out all his details.
What made Zhang Xiaozhu strange was that under the subtle state of mind, he saw no one, and there was silence in the depths of the courtyard. It seemed that there was only the old man in the whole house.
"This-" the old man frowned upon hearing this.
"Is there any inconvenience?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked.
"The room has not been cleaned for a long time. There must be a strong musty smell in the house. If you want to live in it, you will have to open the doors and windows to let the sun shine for three or four days," the old man explained.
"It doesn't matter, the old man can show us the room first." Zhang Xiaozu said.
With Niu Da Wa here, dampness and mildew are not a problem at all.
"That's fine." The old man nodded and led the four people deeper into the courtyard.
The garden is overgrown with weeds, the road is covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, and the pavilions and pavilions have been covered in dust and their original colors have been obscured.
This mansion looks abandoned long ago.
"Why is there no one taking care of it?" Niu Dawa asked with a frown as he looked at the deserted scenery.
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Originally, there were some, but gradually people left, and it ended up like this."
"Why did everyone leave?" Niu Dawa asked in confusion.
"I can't get paid," the old man replied.
"Can't you get paid?" Niu Dawa was very surprised.
"Your Majesty has been living in northern Xinjiang for a long time, and he didn't even send a housekeeper or anything. He just ignored me and didn't care, so he wouldn't be able to get paid. If the little old man wasn't alone, he would have run away long ago." The old man said with a smile.
The cold wind blew on his face, and Zhou Jianlai was mostly awake from the wine. He lifted his collar and shrank his neck to prevent the cold wind from getting in. He muttered: "Why is this yard so cold and cold?"
"It's a bit cold." Yuan Taiping agreed.
Niu Dawa looked around and asked, "Don't you think it's too quiet? There are so many trees and plants in the yard that you can't even hear a single chirping of insects or birds."
Zhang Xiaozu had already noticed the problem, looked at the old man and asked: "Old man, is it not peaceful in this yard at night?"
The old man's expression changed when he heard the words, and he lowered his voice and said: "I don't know how to tell the four young masters. I am afraid that if I tell the truth, the four young masters will not believe me and blame me for misleading the public."
"It means this courtyard is haunted at night." Niu Dawa said nonchalantly.
"Yin occupying Yang's house is a bit interesting." Zhang Xiaozhu sneered.
Under the influence of his master, Taoist Tianwu, he hated ghosts that crossed the line.
The old man observed the expressions of Zhang Xiaozu and the other four people, and found that all four of them had expressions of indifference, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "It's not that this old slave is being alarmist, but the dirty things in this yard are really vicious.
Many people who do not believe in evil have died here one after another. There are also some powerful cultivators who come to catch ghosts, but they are either not good enough and lose their lives in vain, or they are scared to death, so if the four young masters really want to be here,
Stay here and be careful."
"Thank you, old man, for reminding me." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Haha, my surname is Ding and my given name is Jiaquan. You can just call me by my first name," the old man said.
"I'd better call you Ding Bo."
"Ducheng."
After walking deeper into the courtyard for a while, Old Man Ding led the four of them into a courtyard to the east.
He said: "The four young masters will live in Yueyang Garden. The old slaves in the rooms here come to clean them once a month. They are much cleaner and tidier than other courtyards."
Although Yueyang Garden is a courtyard in a mansion, it is several times larger than the courtyard of an ordinary house.
There are five main rooms in the yard, three east and west wing rooms, and gardens in the front and back yards.
Niu Dawa looked at the yard, which was obviously cleaner and tidier than the outside, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "There are so many yards in the house, why do you only clean this one?"
Old Man Ding smiled bitterly and replied: "I want to clean all the yards, but I am old and weak, and I am full of energy but not strong enough. But I am afraid that the prince will suddenly come to live here one day, so I chose this temporary residence."
I clean the Yueyang Garden in Dongxiangyang. This yard has a strong yang energy, and there are no dirty things at night, so people can live peacefully. Hey, in the past few years, I cleaned it every four or five days. In the past two years, my health has been really bad, so I just
I can barely clean it once a month.”
"Cleaning is easy." Niu Dawa smiled.
He deliberately wanted to show off his skills, but with a wave of his sleeves, a strong wind suddenly blew in the yard.
This wind seems to have long eyes, blowing specifically to places with dust. When the dust is blown up, it does not fly in the air, but is carried thousands of miles into the sky by small whirlwinds.
In just one cup of tea, the yard looks brand new, and even the flowers, plants and leaves are so clean that no dust can be seen.
Old man Ding was stunned.
Niu Dawa laughed proudly and clapped his hand again. There was a loud bang of ping-pong, and the doors and windows of the main hall and the side room were all opened.
Indeed, as Old Man Ding said, the room was filled with an unpleasant musty smell.
But this is nothing in front of Niu Dawa.
I saw him pouring into the room with the wind and the flames, and soon every room was dry and dry, and there was no smell of mold.
Each of the four people chose a wing room, leaving the master bedroom in the main room to the old man.
"Oh my god, could this be magic?!"
"Old man, it's really eye-opening today, it's like a dream!"
"Young Master is a man of God!"
It took a while for Old Man Ding to wake up from the deep shock. As soon as he woke up, he shouted excitedly in his dry and hoarse voice, which made Niu Dawa grin.
"Young masters, let's see if you have any needs and if you are missing any furniture or items. Just tell me, I can go to other yards to find some." Old Man Ding asked.
"There is nothing missing. You can go and have a rest." Zhang Xiaopou said.
"Okay. If you have any instructions, just go to the concierge in front and find the old slave." Old Man Ding said.
"Ah - I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap." Zhou Jianlai drank too much and was tired. He yawned and went into the house to sleep.
"Do you two want to go literacy with me?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked Niu Dawa and Yuan Taiping.
"Not interested." Niu Dawa refused directly without thinking.
"I'll go." Yuan Taiping wanted to learn.
"Aren't you afraid of the old master anymore?" Niu Dawa asked teasingly.
"My name is Niu Guangmao, what am I afraid of?" Yuan Taiping grinned.
"Fuck!" Niu Dawa was furious, but had no choice but to pat his butt and walk to the courtyard door, saying: "I'll go explore this ghost house, maybe there's a treasure hidden there."
"Wait for me." When Yuan Taiping heard that Niu Dawa was about to explore the haunted house, he hurriedly shouted and chased after him. Obviously, for him, exploring the haunted house was much more interesting than reading.
"Do it!" Zhang Xiaozu cursed unhappily. In fact, he also wanted to join, but Su Jin couldn't miss the class, so he could only sigh helplessly.
…
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Zhang Xiaozu arrived at Yunzhu Xiaoyuan, and school was over after one more class.
As soon as he walked into the yard, the children cheered and surrounded him, urging him to quickly teach boxing.
Su Jin has promised that the last class every afternoon will be a martial arts class.
Su Zheng and other eighteen people were also there, all squatting at the door of the west wing. The atmosphere seemed a bit heavy.
However, when they saw Zhang Xiaopou starting to teach boxing, they all stood up and walked over to join the children in horseback stance.
The class went by very quickly, and the children left school reluctantly.
"We want to sign up for this year's iron cavalry competition." Su Zheng walked up to Zhang Xiaozu and said seriously.
"Oh" Zhang Xiaozu already knew, so he didn't react much.
"We have to break into the top eight, you have to help us, and only you can help us." Su Zheng stared at Zhang Xiaopou and said in a pleading tone.
"Yeah, help us."
"Help us."
Suning and others also followed suit.
"If you have any conditions, just make them." Su Zhengdao.
"A drop of Yin marrow." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Yin marrow is needed by ghosts. With another drop of yin marrow, she can transform into a human form again.
"No problem." Su Zheng agreed readily.
"Then practice quickly." Zhang Xiaozu urged.
"Okay." Su Zheng nodded vigorously, staring at Zhang Xiaopou, waiting for his instructions.
The same goes for Suning and others.
"You are watching what I am doing, hurry up and practice."
"How to practice?" Su Zheng asked.
"How do you practice the horse stance?" Zhang Xiaopou said.
Hearing this, Su Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Zha Ma Step is a slow skill. It's too late. You have to teach us some skills that can improve our combat effectiveness in a short time."
"There are still three and a half months, which is enough time. If you believe me, then listen to me in everything, otherwise you should hire someone else." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Okay, I believe you!" Su Zheng gritted his teeth and bet the outcome of the bet between him and Di Xiayun on Zhang Xiaozu.
Su Zheng was the leader of the eighteen people. Su Zheng said that he believed Zhang Xiaozu, and no one else raised any questions.
Seeing that the eighteen people quickly put aside their distracting thoughts and entered the state of walking, Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but look at them.
Especially Su Zheng.
He originally thought that Su Zheng would definitely ask clearly about how to train next and how to improve his combat effectiveness before he would feel relieved, because Su Zheng couldn't afford to lose and didn't dare to make any mistakes. He never expected that Su Zheng would be so resolute and decisive.
"The mutual trust and cohesion between these eighteen people are quite strong. If they can form a cavalry, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated." Zhang Xiaozu suddenly became excited.
"Pawn, there is a letter for you." Su Jin shouted in the classroom, holding a letter in his hand.
"My letter?" Zhang Xiaozu asked in surprise.
"Yes, your letter was delivered this afternoon." Su Jin confirmed.
Zhang Xiaozu was surprised when he took the letter from Su Jin. When he saw the signature on the envelope, he immediately became happy and said happily: "It's a letter from a sworn girl of mine."
After speaking, he opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.
After reading it in one breath, Zhang Xiaozu frowned.
"Is there a word you don't recognize?" Su Jin asked when he saw Zhang Xiaopou frowning.
Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and said: "My sworn sister left the imperial capital, and I didn't even have time to see her."
He was very upset.
In fact, he had wanted to find Qi Ronger for a long time, but there had been constant troubles since he came to the imperial capital. He was worried about causing trouble to Qi Ronger, so he endured not seeing her. He never expected that Qi Ronger would leave like this.
Fortunately, Qi Ronger said in the letter that she was returning to the southern border with Su De, so Zhang Xiaozu felt relieved.
"We get together and part ways, that's how life is." Su Jin comforted, then changed the subject and asked: "Where are your friends?"
"We found a place to stay, but they didn't come over." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
"Where?"
"Guowei Mansion."
"!!!"
Zhang Xiaozu turned pale when he saw Su Jin.
