Zhang Ran glanced at the old leader, and then whispered: "The old leader is called Zhang Dao, but his surname should have been Shen."
"The surname is Shen? Is it the Shen family of Boyang?" Yin En said in surprise.
"That's right, it's the Boyang Shen family! Currently, Boyang City's well-deserved first family can even be ranked among the top three in the entire Heyue region. The father of the old leader is the previous head of the Shen family, so the old leader If the family had always been named Shen, then he might have become the current head of the Shen family; however, the old head fell out with his father because of his mother many years ago, so although there is still an old head in the Shen family's family tree, However, the old head has not been back for decades, and he always calls himself Zhang, which is his mother's surname."
Hearing this, Liu Xing suddenly became interested, because Liu Xing had already smelled the gossip of wealthy families.
It's a pity that Zhang Ran didn't plan to say more in this regard, "I'm not sure about the specific situation, because I have heard more than ten different opinions on this matter, and many of them are clear and logical. Of course, the old It is impossible for the master to tell us the truth about this matter; but one thing is certain, the old master came to Heyunguan to study after he was sixteen years old, and there is still a chance to become an inner disciple, but the old master I didn’t want to stay in Heyun Temple for the rest of my life, so I became an outer disciple, but I learned a lot of exercises that only inner disciples could learn. In short, Xiao Zhang, as long as you can learn one from the old master If you do half the moves, then there will be no problem in becoming a hero from now on."
One thing to say, if Liu Xing's character card didn't have the surname Zhang, then everyone would have to find a way to replace Zhang Jingxu, because the temptation to do so would be too great.
I can replace it.
Unfortunately not.
At this time, Zhang Jingxu has also been tempted, because this old master will not only teach you some kung fu, but it is also clear that there is a hidden mission behind him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingxu nodded and said decisively: "Then I will be more respectful than obedient, but I still have to take the entrance exam, because I will have to stay in Zhangjiamen for such a long time in the future with all the senior brothers. time, if you get started without taking the exam, you will inevitably be cast aside."
"No, no, no, Xiao Zhang, as long as you enter the door, you will become the senior brother of our Zhang family generation! Because you already have a certain foundation, as long as nothing happens, we can take you in within this month. As a formal disciple, you will become the senior brother! Because our Zhang family values that those who have mastered come first, as long as you have the ability, you can be the senior brother!" Zhang Ran said seriously.
It's getting more and more fragrant.
At the beginning, Liu Xing thought that the Zhangjiamen was just an ordinary little sect, but he did not expect that there would be so many surprises. Unfortunately, the entry requirements for this sect were too harsh.
Therefore, Liu Xing and the others could only look at Zhang Jingxu with envy.
After eating breakfast, Liu Xing and the other three simply left Zhangjiamen through the back door. Because there was a stable behind it, the large carriages at the city gate would stop outside this stable during their breaks, whether they were treating horses or not. , or maintenance of carriages can be carried out in this stable.
With good luck, Liu Xing and the other three happened to meet a large carriage that had just left the stables. Moreover, this large carriage was going directly to Boyang Ruins, because there were also several inns in Boyang Ruins for those who had no time to go home.
There are places to stay, and of course some merchants from other places will stay in these inns for a long time, waiting until the business is completed before leaving.
Therefore, some large caravans will go directly to Boyang Xu, and they will pick up as many people as they can along the way, and will not wait until everyone is gathered before setting off.
However, the riding experience of this large caravan is not as good as the carriage that Liu Xing and the others rode before. The journey can be described as "traveling"... Don't ask why Liu Xing uses the idiom indiscriminately, because it is actually this idiom.
It is used to describe the stones in his body...
Yes, as a doctor, Liu Xing now suspects that his character card may have kidney stones or gallstones, because he can clearly feel some discomfort in his waist when the carriage is bumpy.
Moreover, a lot of drinking water in Heshan County is mountain spring water and well water. After all, although it is close to the river, the river water is usually used for washing clothes, because there are many fish, shrimps and crabs swimming around in the river, so it seems
It is not as clean as mountain spring water and well water.
But the problem is that these mountain springs and well water look very clear and taste good to drink, but in fact the water quality is relatively average and contains many impurities that are invisible to the naked eye, so it is easy to form various types of water.
Stones, among which kidney stones are the most common, because the main function of the kidneys is not to exchange apples for apples, but to serve as the main filter of the body.
Therefore, Liu Xing feels that it is normal for "Liu Peng" to have stones, or that it is abnormal for people in this martial arts world not to have stones.
But having said that, Liu Xing carefully searched the memories of "Liu Peng" and found that there are really not many ways to deal with stones in this martial arts world. Although some prescriptions can indeed remove stones, they can only
Effective for stones with smaller particles.
Of course, if you are a hero, you don't need to worry about the stones, because you can completely break the stones with your deep internal strength.
So Liu Xing suddenly had a bold idea, which was to set up a specialized stone hospital. If the patients were mildly ill, they would be asked to drink more water, and then a horse farm would be built so that they could ride horses when they had nothing to do. If there were many people, they would just sit there.
Carriage! As for those seriously ill patients, we invite a few heroes to teach them internal strength, so as to achieve the effect of ultrasonic lithotripsy.
Of course, this is just a bold idea. After all, how could a hero these days condescend to perform lithotripsy surgery on others? Unless you are willing to pay more.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt that in terms of modern people's thinking, there are business opportunities everywhere in this martial arts world, but it is still too difficult to realize it, because many businesses have cost problems that are visible to the naked eye, and the ability to
Unable to hire the right "employees".
Moreover, most businesses need a stable environment, otherwise no matter how good the business is, they will not be able to continue.
For example, the world will be one month from now.
Because there were a lot of vehicles and pedestrians heading to Boyang Ruins, the large carriage Liu Xing and the others were traveling in did not move very fast. However, this also allowed passers-by who wanted to go to Boyang Ruins to jump directly onto the carriage, so when passing by Boyang Ruins,
When we arrived at the North Gate of Yangcheng, there were already two digits of passengers on the bus, and they all seemed to be buyers.
As a result, just when Liu Xing was about to close his eyes and rest his mind, he heard a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman suddenly say: "Have you heard? His Majesty seems to have not been in court for more than a month, so could this be...
..”
Liu Xing looked at the middle-aged businessman who was hesitant to speak, and everyone else looked surprised, because no one thought that this man would dare to say such things in public.
Doesn’t the New Dragon Empire have a project to kill the Nine Tribes?
"Ah, Lao Wang, where did you hear about this?"
The man's friend frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Your Majesty has always been in good health. When I went to Tianlan City to deliver goods at the beginning of the year, I saw Your Majesty going hunting in the paddock."
Tianlan City is the capital of the New Dragon Empire.
Hearing what this man said, Liu Xing realized that except for himself and Yin En, the others were surprised not because the middle-aged businessman dared to say such things in public, but because the content of what he said was really shocking.
"Yes, although our place is a bit far away from Tianlan City, the speed of transmission of news like this should have been transmitted half a month ago."
A young man dressed as a knight-errant said: "My brother is on duty in the government office, and they haven't heard anything about it, so where did you hear the gossip? But it's true, His Majesty is now
He is indeed quite old, and he also suffered many injuries on the battlefield, so in recent years we often hear rumors that His Majesty is ill."
"Yes, if you really want to tell me, I have heard rumors of His Majesty's death more than ten times in the past two years... But just like the little brother said, His Majesty's current physical condition, that day
If he really passed away, I wouldn't be surprised at all, because even those martial arts masters from famous towns would find it difficult for them to live to your Majesty's age."
The coachman suddenly joined the conversation, "But the most troublesome thing now is that Your Majesty has not selected a prince, so if something happens to His Majesty, then the princes may divide themselves into one party, and then fight each other after testing each other several times; or
Fortunately, our Boyang City is under the rule of the third prince, and the third prince is also a strong contender for the position of prince. The most important thing is that the third prince also has tens of thousands of troops under his command. This power cannot be underestimated."
The middle-aged businessman nodded and said seriously: "I just went to Tianlan City some time ago and found that the atmosphere in Tianlan City was a bit tense. There were twice as many guards responsible for inspections at the city gate, and the number of inspections
They are also very strict and will take down people as soon as they find any problems! And my old client happens to be responsible for providing lighting supplies such as candles and lamp oil to the palace. As a result, he also received a notice a month ago, asking him to start from that day.
Just don't send anything to the palace, and this is not an exception!"
Having said this, the middle-aged businessman lowered his voice, "What's more important is that the palace has already begun to arrange for the maids and eunuchs to leave the palace. You must know that it is not the time yet, so there are rumors everywhere in Tianlan City that something has happened to His Majesty.
, and the doors of each minister’s residence are also closed, and no guests can be seen!”
After hearing these words, Liu Xing felt that if he was really "Liu Peng", then nine times out of ten, he would have believed what this middle-aged businessman said and felt that something might really happen to the new Dragon Emperor.
Of course, as a player who already knows the spoilers, Liu Xing can be sure that all this is true, but he doesn't know if this is the new Dragon Emperor who is making things happen.
But now that the news has spread to Boyang City, Liu Xing estimates that the princes should also know the news, and have sent people to test whether something has really happened to the new Dragon Emperor. After all, the new Dragon Emperor is already in power.
Over the years, the deterrent effect on those princes has been completely exhausted.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.
"Oh, I hope your majesty is okay, because if something happens to your majesty, the world will be in chaos."
A well-dressed old man shook his head and said: "As you all know, the relationship between the princes can only be described as superficial and distant, because they all feel that they have the ability to become the prince, so if they have the opportunity, they will not let it go.
, even if brothers are fighting against each other! This is similar to the situation in a cousin’s family of mine. Although his family seems to be brothers and sisters, harmonious and happy, he knows that this family can be said to be his.
A person is the one who supports us. If he is gone on that day, then the family will have to start dividing the property the next day."
Hearing what the old man said, Liu Xing thought of a distant relative of his who was in the same situation.
On a Qingming Festival before joining the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, Liu Xing went back with his family to burn incense and worship his ancestors. If his uncle hadn't gone to burn some paper nearby, Liu Xing wouldn't have noticed his grandfather's face.
There is a neighbor next to him, because his "house number" has long been covered with weeds, and it seems that no one has taken care of it for many years.
Then Liu Xing heard that this was a distant relative of his. He had moved to Yangcheng a long time ago, but after his death, he returned to his roots for some unknown reason, but this is understandable... But after that
, the children of this distant relative did not come back a few times, and later they even seemed to have forgotten that such a thing happened.
Finally, after inquiring, I found out that the children of this distant relative had a lot of conflicts with each other. Normally, they would not be able to have a meal together if there was no distant relative sitting in charge. The most important thing is how well these children behave in front of their father.
Yes; it turned out that Liu Xing's distant relative had just passed away, and his children immediately divided up the inheritance, and then they stopped communicating with each other. They even stopped coming back to burn some paper for their old father because they were worried about meeting their brothers.
.
This reminded Liu Xing that in "A Dream of Red Mansions", after the death of Jia's mother, who was the most senior, the Jia family became worse and worse day by day.
"Anyway, if something goes wrong, then we can only hug the Third Prince tightly, because we can only support him to ascend to the throne."
It was at this moment that Liu Xing noticed that the middle-aged businessman who was talking had a thick layer of calluses on his hands.
This is a bit interesting.
Liu Xing raised his brows and raised a smile, knowing exactly who this person was.
