Chapter 230: Going north to Fengde Tower, the road to Beijing is difficult to level.
The next morning, in Zhou Shi’s room in Fengde Building, Yu Heng, Zhang Huanming and Zhou Shi sat opposite each other.
Zhang Huanming bowed slightly, not looking into Zhou Shi's eyes, and said, "In general, it was all an accident. I'm really sorry."
Yu Heng also smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, it's all Xiao Zhang's fault."
Zhou Shi pointed to his head wrapped in gauze and said, "You two share the same conscience, right?"
According to Yu Heng, he was about to go to bed last night when Zhang Huanming suddenly came to his door and took him to the north of the city. He said that there was a gloomy air rising straight into the sky and something was definitely going to happen, so he cheered up.
He and Shifen were alert and ready, but unexpectedly found nothing at the scene, so they started digging at Zhang Huanming's instigation, and ended up hitting Zhou Shi on the head with a shovel.
Zhang Huanming said that he had tried every possible means to persuade Yu Heng to be careful, but it was he who took the initiative to shovel down the shop and accidentally injured Shopkeeper Zhou.
The two people's explanations are basically logical except for the part about shirking responsibility. But Zhou Shi's explanation is more intriguing.
"So you were tricked into going to the cemetery and burying yourself without knowing it?"
"...That's right." Zhou Shi replied helplessly.
"Who is that person?"
"This person..." Zhou Shi was about to answer, but his mind immediately recalled Lu Yan's instructions.
"The corpse-carrying man is already a semi-immortal. Even if you mention his name, you may be noticed, so never mention this name to others."
It’s hard to tell whether this is true or not, but Zhou Shi can feel Lu Yan’s persistence towards the corpse carrier. In other words, even if the corpse carrier can’t notice it, Lu Yan can. If he discovers that Zhou Shi is asking for help from others, he might be
Treat it as someone coming to snatch your "prey"!
"...I can't go into details, I'm sorry."
Zhang Huanming and Yu Heng had experienced the battlefield for a long time and immediately understood Shopkeeper Zhou's difficulties without going into details.
"Besides, I heard what this guy said about Zhao Xuan."
Zhou Shi looked at Zhang Huanming with hope. With his help, rescuing Zhao Xuan would be much easier.
"The Taoist sect has rules. I can't take action on issues involving the court. I'm sorry."
Tsk, as expected...
"The result depends on us two brothers." Yu Heng patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "When are you leaving?"
"Just today."
Agui's voice came from outside the door: "Shopkeeper, the motorcade is here. Please move out the things in your room as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Zhou Shi responded, "Those two, I won't keep you."
Zhang Huanming stamped his feet and said: "I want to go back to Wudang Mountain and report the experience of this trip to Master. Maybe we can meet again in the capital in the future. Farewell."
The Wudang Taoist priest saluted the two of them, went out, squeezed through the waiters who were busy moving furniture, and came to the outside of the store.
Suddenly, he frowned and stretched out his hand to touch his eyebrows.
"Wangjiang Tower? Why..."
……
"Shopkeeper, this is the last car."
When Zhou Shi walked to the motorcade carrying his baggage, Agui got out of the last donkey cart and handed the account book to the shopkeeper.
Boss Che shouted at the head of the team: "Shopkeeper, can you leave?"
Zhou Shi glanced through it hastily, returned the account book to Agui, turned around and gave a fist to the acquaintances who came to see him off:
"Everyone, I have to say farewell to you after a long journey. I bid farewell to Fengdelou."
On New Year's Day, Fengdelou finally embarked on the road north to Beijing.
Fengde Building is one of the four famous buildings in Jiangdu, and with the reputation of shopkeeper Zhou, many people came to see him off. Meng Xingyuan, the shopkeeper of Yueqing House, who was about to take over the ground of Fengde Building, Qian De'an, the shopkeeper of Huaiyue House, and other colleagues were impressive.
In the list.
"Shopkeeper Qian, I'll leave it to you to take care of my young boss's family."
"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on him and I won't let him do whatever he wants."
The sturdy Qian De'an made Zhu Benshan next to him smaller and more timid. Apparently the second boss, who had always been a man of luxury and debauchery, was severely disciplined by Qian De'an.
Zhou could see by using the art of looking at Qi that Zhu Benshan's body was surrounded by Yang energy and restrained Yin energy, which was much healthier than when he was addicted to women. Although it is not easy to change his character, I believe that shopkeeper Qian has the ability to change his personality.
He spurred him into becoming a decent person.
After Zhu Benchu was killed by the poison master, Zhu Benshan was the only flesh and blood of Zhu Laodong's family. Letting him study under Qian De'an and lose his playboy temperament was the best arrangement Zhou Shi could think of.
"This can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Mr. Zhu's family for leaving the iron abacus to me..."
The old man standing on one side of the farewell team formed a sharp contrast with the business partners of Fengdelou. This man had white hair and beard, and was slightly stooped, but he was energetic, even compared to several tall young men beside him.
It doesn’t look old either.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, please send my regards to my colleagues in Beijing and Tianjin."
As the representative of Jiangdu Wulin, Xu Yu only said these words of farewell lightly, but I believe that Zhou Zhi's weight in his heart is definitely not low. Because the fragment of "Stele Hand", which he regarded as a treasure, was also given to Zhou by him.
Real.
The young man who followed Xu Yu and was dressed like his disciple just winked at Zhou Shi mischievously. As a member of the gang, Jiang An couldn't show his face, so he could only say goodbye to Shopkeeper Zhou secretly in this way.
.
"I hope the Baitiao Gang and the Qinglong Gang can get along well... However, Jiangdu's garrison is about to expand, and the gang's living space is being squeezed. Maybe we can take this opportunity to ease the relationship and cope with this change together."
Fu Yujiang still carried the 18-section Arhat Bamboo and was not conspicuous among the gang members. However, he waved his arms to Zhou Shi in an exaggerated manner and mouthed "See you later", which attracted a lot of attention.<
/p>
Thinking about it carefully, they have been really helpful in taking care of me in the past six months...
Of the four famous buildings, only Wangjiang Tower did not send anyone to come forward, but Zhou Shi was not familiar with them, and there were even incidents like beggars blocking the door, so it was not surprising.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, I'm destined to see you again!" The senders clasped their fists in greeting and said goodbye to Zhou Shi.
Looking at these faces, Zhou Shi had mixed feelings in his heart. In the half year he lived in this world, he went from a down-and-out guy who was kicked out to the absolute top shopkeeper of Fengde Building, a person who had to give in to both black and white.
He is also a great master of the Jiangdu martial arts world... This makes him somewhat reluctant to leave the Jiangdu city that he saved with his life.
Everything he is familiar with in this world is here, but in the capital waiting for him thousands of miles away, there are only secrets left by masters like Lu Yan and An Rudao, who are both good and evil.
"Drive, drive!" The driver waved his short whip and directed the convoy to embark on the northbound road.
When Fengdelou went north, he only brought Agui, Xue An, Chen Dayou and six guys who wanted to settle in the capital. The rest either had family members to take care of, or they were recruited by Meng Xingyuan and Qian De'an and stayed in Jiangdu. p>
And the things they want to bring are not many, mainly some old objects placed in the store, tables, chairs and the old counter - which is Mr. Mo's hiding place. Therefore, three donkey carts are more than enough.<
/p>
Thanks to the help of people from the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, Fengdelou's savings can be quickly converted into exchange notes, which can be directly exchanged for cash at the branch of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce in the capital, which is much safer.
Agui sat in the lead car familiarly and chatted with the boss.
"Boss, it's hard enough for you to travel back and forth between the north and the south in the wind and rain."
"It's not hard to ask for a favor. With my three sons helping me, I don't have to put in much effort."
"But there is no guarantee that there will be some dangers along the way. Your sons don't have anyone to take advantage of. Could it be..."
"Peace of mind, peace of mind." Boss Che replied casually, "If they are road bandits, I have my own issues with them. But if you encounter something unclean, you must be obedient and obey the orders and prohibitions. Do you understand?"
