Zhang Ren and Yang Hao knew that their elder brother attached great importance to this matter, so they solemnly promised:
"Brother, don't worry, leave it all to us!"
Huang An nodded, suddenly turned cold and ordered:
"Then take the brothers home. I will make time to come over tomorrow. Remember to restrain the brothers. Anyone who dares to disturb Zhuangzi, bully men and women, I will skin him!"
Looking at the serious Huang An, the two of them looked equally solemn, patting their chests and promising:
"Brother, don't worry, we fellow villagers will not bully people in Zhuangzi!"
The two of them were very sincere.
Huang An responded, then waved his hand and said:
"Then take your brothers home quickly!"
The two of them got the answer, and the soldiers who came out of the big locust tree village behind them all laughed happily, shouting "Thank you, brother, please go slowly" and other kind words.
The crowd split into two, and Yang Hao led them, turning around and running towards the path to Dahuaishu Village.
A large group of people cheered and left, and smoke and dust were everywhere. Except for Brother Yu and the other eleven, there were no more than seven of his own people left with Huang An.
These seven people are all from Feng'an County.
Yang Chengwu was also among them. His home was in Feng'an City. Although he was eager to go home at the moment, he did not speak directly.
Huang An glanced in the direction where the crowd was leaving, and nodded to Li An, who was not far away.
He waved his hand and said:
"Enter the city!"
After saying that, he led the people into the city gate first.
After that, he drove straight to the Zhao Family Martial Arts School.
He is a little strange now, why didn't Mr. Li receive his letter?
So many people came out of the city to greet them today, why didn’t Mr. Li send someone to pick them up?
It's not that Huang An likes this kind of spectacle and cares about these false feelings, but what Old Man Li did is really strange.
The city lord, the Yang Family Martial Arts School and other outsiders in the city came out to greet them, why didn't they send anyone from their own side?
This is not common sense.
There was no news at all, which inevitably made him think too much.
However, it was only after he brought his brothers to the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall that he realized that he had misunderstood.
Mr. Li is so busy that he simply cannot send any extra manpower to do this surface project.
Because the entire avenue in front of the main gate of the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall was densely packed with people.
Huang An was surprised, got off his horse, and found out after asking.
These people all came to the Zhao Family Martial Arts School to give gifts.
They also heard that the master had become the master of the firearms department, and that not long after, a big banquet would be held in Youzhou City to entertain guests from all over.
Although they cannot go to Youzhou themselves, they must do good etiquette.
Therefore, in the past few days, basically most of the people in Xicheng have come, not to mention the wealthy families in the county.
No one was left behind, and everyone gathered at the martial arts center to present congratulatory gifts and messages in advance.
Sometimes, people don’t have to go.
But both gifts and congratulations are indispensable.
Especially for an adult with Master Zhao's status, the etiquette must be thorough.
Although even if they send congratulatory gifts and messages, Master Zhao will most likely not notice them.
However, the people below will inevitably not care about it.
The truth that the King of Hell is easy to mess with and the kid is difficult to deal with can be found everywhere.
Besides, if you are really lucky, Mr. Zhao will remember the kindness.
If they have trouble asking for help in the future, they might be able to put in a good word, and that will give them an excuse.
Huang An is riding a tall horse. They are all warriors. They only need to shout "Master Zhao's disciple Huang An is here"!
The crowd obediently moved out of the way.
Huang An successfully met Old Uncle Li. He looked older and his voice was hoarse. He must have hurt his throat from shouting in the past few days.
His eyes were bloodshot and his fatigue was very obvious, but he was very energetic.
Especially after seeing Huang An, the smile on his face never stopped.
Although no one came out of the city to greet him, food was already prepared in the martial arts hall.
After all, the people at the gate are here to give gifts and congratulations. No matter how high the Zhao family climbs, their basic etiquette is still thorough, and they must stay and let these people have a simple meal.
Huang An and the others are all warriors and their own people.
Old man Li deliberately let the kitchen do a lot of work, so as to clean up the dust for Huang An.
But Huang An has always disliked this face-saving project. Now he has a close relationship with his master's family and is basically one of his own.
Therefore, he directly took his brothers to have a simple meal, and even Yu Mao and the others did not get angry because of it.
Business is more important. They are here to do business this time, not to attend a banquet.
Compared with Master Zhao's matter, compared with Huang An's face, they would not be so stupid if they were angry because they missed a meal.
While Huang An was eating, he briefly talked to Mr. Li about things in Youzhou.
He concealed most of the truth and details and only picked out the nice and useful ones.
Huang An was very familiar with Old Man Li. When he was practicing martial arts in the martial arts gym, he would often go to Xiao Wu and chat with Old Man Li.
Old Man Li was a good man. After hearing this, he was just happy and praised Huang An for his good luck, without asking any further questions.
After the meal was finished, Huang An sent Yang Chengwu and the others away and asked them to go home.
But before that, he gave an order for them to wait at the gate of the West City at noon tomorrow, and then he would go to Dahuaishuzhuang.
After sending these people away, Huang An sent someone to help Brother Yu and the others settle down in their homes and told them to have a good rest.
By the time everything was arranged, it was getting dark.
Fortunately, the moonlight is beautiful today, so we can still talk at night.
Huang An finished his bath, changed into clean clothes, and sat in the courtyard, planning to wait for Old Man Li to come over after finishing his work and talk about business.
Before he could ask, he saw Old Man Li walking out of the house holding two rosters.
"These are the people I personally selected. There are 535 people in the first batch, all of whom are working adults. There are 455 men and 80 women. They are all ready and ready to go at any time!
As for the remaining people, they are still being sorted out and will arrive in Youzhou one after another within half a month. When the time comes, I will send someone to pick them up!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huang An was startled, and then he was pleasantly surprised.
He immediately stood up and took the roster, breathed a sigh of relief and complimented:
"Old man Li is getting stronger and stronger. I thought he would stay in the city for two days."
"Ha ha!"
Old Man Li touched his chin proudly and burst into laughter.
"How can we, the servants, not do our best to the things arranged by the master?"
Huang An also laughed a few times in agreement, not agreeing at all with Old Man Li's self-proclaimed "servant".
The master obviously regards Old Man Li as an elder, otherwise why would he entrust such an important matter to him?
Why did he also order Huang An to escort Old Man Li to Youzhou City?
After Huang An took the roster, he flipped through it a few times and put it aside.
After putting it down, his expression suddenly became much gloomier and even a little nervous.
He glanced at Old Man Li and hesitated to speak, as if he was afraid of something.
Sudden.
"You want to ask about Xiao Wu, right?"
Old Man Li's sudden voice made Huang An startled.
Seeing Old Man Li smiling, most of Huang An's worries disappeared.
This shows that Xiao Wu may be fine!
What he fears most is that Xiao Wu's arm is completely broken.
Even, due to wound infection and problems with treatment methods, he died directly!
But now, Old Man Li is smiling, which means everything is fine!
Huang An said anxiously:
"How is Xiao Wu? Is he, is he okay?"
He had been remembering Xiaowu in his mind, and had planned to ask him when he entered the martial arts hall.
But I have been afraid in my heart, afraid of hearing bad news, and there are other people around, so I still put off asking until now.
Hearing Huang An's eager tone and looking at his anxious face, Old Man Li suddenly felt melancholy and sighed:
"My wrist was broken. Although it was brought back by Divine Doctor Xue afterwards, I couldn't exert any strength. I guess I'm half disabled! Alas!"
The heavy sigh was like hitting Huang An's heart.
He paused and asked:
"Where is Xiao Wu now? Why can't he be seen in the martial arts gym?"
Old Man Li suddenly smiled, and in Huang An's confused and surprised eyes, he laughed and said:
"That kid is still the keeper of a medicine shop. I don't know if there was smoke coming out of his ancestral grave. What kind of bad luck did that kid have? He got a wife two months ago."
Can't muster the energy?
No problem!
But in this case, marry a wife?
Huang An let out a long sigh of relief, but his eyes suddenly lit up.
Old Man Li chuckled and continued:
"That daughter-in-law is from the city of Fen County. She is the most popular girl in the city! She is a pretty girl, she is hard-working and she comes from a kind family.
It must be at this point that the boy is lying on his wife and exerting all his strength? Who is willing to come to my place to accompany me, a lonely old man like me? "
After saying that, Old Man Li burst out laughing.
Huang An glanced at the old man and breathed a sigh of relief.
He also laughed.
I got up and was about to go see Xiao Wu, but I remembered that it was getting late now and it was not easy to disturb Xiao Wu and his wife.
Then he gave up, walked back and forth a few steps, his expression settled, and he sat down again.
"Our time has passed?"
Old man Li suddenly asked.
He actually got two copies of the letter.
One was sent by Master Fei Ge, and the other was sent by Huang An.
In the letter from the master, he ordered him, as well as everyone in Feng'an County, including the Zhao Family Martial Arts School and the village, to obey the arrangements of Huang An, a junior, in all matters.
Although he was surprised by the order given by the master, he still obeyed it unconditionally.
However, he was actually very strange in his heart.
I don’t know what happened after the master went to Youzhou, and why he accepted Huang An again and entrusted him with such an important task. He had full authority for such an important matter.
But he is not a talkative person. If the master and Huang An don't take the initiative to talk, he will definitely not ask.
When to leave?
Huang An pondered for a moment, then said decisively:
"We'll leave early the next morning! We'll go directly to Youzhou. Once we get to Youzhou City, we still have a day and a half to arrange the manpower."
Old Man Li nodded and had no objection.
He asked Huang An to wait for a while, then brought out another seven or eight books and placed them on the table.
Huang An was surprised, looked at Old Man Li, and asked:
"What's this?"
Old Man Li smiled and said: "The list of people who have come to send congratulatory gifts to me these days is all recorded in it, and no one is left behind!"
After he explained, he pushed it in front of Huang An and said:
"I guess there will be more tomorrow, I'll leave it to you now, old man, I want to take a good rest!"
After that, he sat on the chair and took a nice sip of tea.
When Huang An heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He waved his hands and said:
"I have to trouble Old Man Li to work hard one more night. I have important things to do tomorrow and I won't be able to take care of him."
Old Man Li's yawning stopped abruptly.
Suddenly he made a strange cry of "Gah?" and then looked at Huang An suspiciously.
"Are you trying to be lazy? Are you deliberately trying to abuse me, an old man?"
