After Zhang Cong left Manying Building, he did not take the main road, but walked around in the small alleys of Heilong Town. During this period, his consciousness kept scanning behind him.
When he reached a dead end, Zhang Cong looked at the towering rooftops, and then skillfully used his spiritual energy to jump to the rooftops on both sides.
Zhang Cong was lying on the roof, staring closely at the dead end below.
Not long after, two people appeared in Zhang Cong's field of vision.
The two people walked into the dead end. Seeing that there was no one around, they did not stop. One of them took out an iron ball and threw it towards the ground. A large amount of smoke suddenly rose up around them.
When the smoke dissipated, the two people disappeared.
Zhang Cong looked at the place where the two disappeared, without thinking much, jumped off the roof, and soon appeared on the three-mile long street.
Just after he walked out of Manying Building, Zhang Cong paid more attention to what was behind him. He specially sent out a spiritual consciousness to constantly scan the situation behind him.
I only saw that I had just walked out of Manying Building, and two people dressed as waiters on the back walked out of Manying Building.
Zhang Cong had an idea and quickly dodged into a dark alley on the side. The two waiters in Manying Building also followed Zhang Cong into the dark alley from a distance.
Hence the scene just now. At first Zhang Cong thought it was a thug sent by the Wang family to seek revenge.
But seeing this person actually using smoke to escape, Zhang Cong concluded that the two people just now were definitely not members of the Wang family, but were definitely people arranged by Cuiyufang to follow Zhang Cong.
Zhang Cong was walking struttingly on the street at this moment, but his consciousness did not relax at all. He kept scanning the surroundings and saw nothing unusual around him. Zhang Cong walked straight towards his house.
"What is the purpose of this Jade House? Could it be that something on me has been exposed and these people want to rob it?" Zhang Cong kept thinking in his heart, but his body was already standing in front of the house he purchased.
After opening the door, Zhang Cong went straight into the house.
"It doesn't make sense. Those two waiters in the shop are not monks. They are following me so blatantly. The boss of Jade Fang is probably out of his mind. These two people are no match for me."
He walked to the stable. At this moment, the black horse was lowering its head with enjoyment and eating the fodder Zhang Cong had prepared for it.
"It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. It is very easy to deal with a Wang family now. If there is also the extremely mysterious Jade Fang, I am afraid that I will be in disaster.
The two shop waiters just now must have known that I had discovered them, so they ran away. If I send someone here again next time, I will be rude to them.
Don’t worry about Jade Palace for now, the Wang family is taking the lead right now.”
Zhang Cong glanced in the direction of Cuiyufang, with a hint of fleeting ruthlessness in his eyes.
After untying the horse's reins from the post, he led the horse out of the courtyard through the back door.
After getting on his horse, Zhang Cong drove the horse towards the racecourse. Along the way, Zhang Cong never relaxed his vigilance. His consciousness was turned on and he scanned the surroundings at a very high frequency. The road was smooth and Zhang Cong arrived.
This is where the racecourse is located.
It was already midnight, and there was only one boy sitting under the awning at the entrance of the racecourse, taking a nap. Zhang Cong approached the boy, reined in the horse, and woke up the napping boy with a neighing sound.
The boy quickly stood up when he saw the dark horse in front of him and Zhang Cong standing in front of him.
"Hey, sir, come and return the horse. I'll get the account book right away." Before the boy could turn around, Zhang Cong stopped him.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm not here to return a horse today, but to buy a horse. I think your horse is very smart and I like it better. Call your boss out and I'll discuss it with your boss.
.”
When the boy heard this, he didn't waste any time. He immediately walked into the racecourse and led a tall and thick man out.
Finally, Zhang Cong bought the black horse for three hundred taels. After paying the money, Zhang Cong got on his horse and ran straight out of the town.
At the ten-mile long pavilion outside the town, it was already midnight, and there were no pedestrians on the road. But inside the pavilion, two graceful figures were sitting. They were Xiaohua and Aunt Cuihua.
The two of them were clinging to each other and seemed to have fallen asleep. Not long after, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded from a distance. Xiaohua was awakened by the sound of horse hooves and quickly shook Aunt Cuihua awake.
"Mom, listen to the sound of horse hooves, is Brother Zhang Cong here?"
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves and saw a handsome black horse appearing on the ground. The person sitting on the horse was Zhang Cong.
When the two of them saw Zhang Cong arriving late, they were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly waited outside the pavilion.
Zhang Cong rode his horse in front of the two of them, turned over and dismounted. Just as he stood still, Xiaohua rushed forward, threw herself into Zhang Cong's arms, and began to cry.
"Brother Zhang Cong, I saw that you have been away for so long and haven't come back yet. I thought something bad happened to you. If something happened to you, I wouldn't be alive either."
Zhang Cong looked at Xiao Hua nestled in his arms, and was immediately made to laugh and cry by Xiao Hua's words.
"Silly girl, how could something happen to me? I just took some banknotes to pay for your expenses." After speaking, Zhang Cong took out a large banknote from his inner pocket, a total of one thousand seven hundred taels.
, I just bought the dark horse next to me and spent three hundred taels. Zhang Cong took out all the remaining banknotes.
Aunt Cuihua looked at the thick banknote in Zhang Cong's hand and took it with a surprised look on her face.
After counting, he found that Zhang Cong had given him a full one thousand, seven hundred taels of silver notes. He suddenly felt a little at a loss and said to Zhang Cong: "Zhang Cong, Aunt Cuihua appreciates your thoughts, but you give us
The two of us have more than a thousand taels of silver, and we really can't spend it all.
I have packed up the betrothal gifts you gave me and sold them when I went to other places, which will be enough for my mother and I to live on."
When Xiaohua heard that Zhang Cong gave Aunt Cuihua more than a thousand taels of silver notes, she immediately looked at Zhang Cong in surprise and said quickly: "Brother Zhang Cong, you have so much money, could it be..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cong reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xiaohua's cheek.
"Silly girl, don't think nonsense, these are all earned from my business some time ago.
I still have a lot, and I'm not short of money to spend. However, although you two are going to live with relatives, if you use other people's food and clothing, you will inevitably be disliked by others. Bring more expenses, you can use them later."
Zhang Cong looked at Xiaohua with tender eyes, causing two red clouds to rise on Xiaohua's cheeks.
"But, this is too much..."
Before Aunt Cuihua could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Zhang Cong.
"Aunt Cuihua, just take it. They are all from our family anyway. Don't tell them so clearly." After hearing this, Aunt Cuihua suddenly felt that what Zhang Cong said made sense. If the two of them continued to push the blame, they could only
Look lively.
Zhang Cong put the two of them on horseback, and then put the two packages they had placed in the pavilion behind the horse. Before leaving, Xiaohua glanced at Zhang Cong and said calmly: "Brother Zhang Cong, I'm waiting for you to pick me up.
, I still have to wait for you to marry me into your home in an eight-carat sedan chair."
After saying that, a trace of tears flowed out from the corner of Xiaohua's eyes. Zhang Cong gently wiped away the tears, looked at Xiaohua and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely marry you back with a lively ceremony."
Home."
Hearing this, Xiaohua burst into laughter and looked at Zhang Cong with red eyes, but the smile on his face was extremely bright. She patted the horse, and the black horse walked forward slowly.
Zhang Cong stood there, watching the horse disappear below the ground. At this moment, a ray of sunlight suddenly rose from below the ground. In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn. This restless day was finally over.
passed.
Zhang Cong looked at the figure of the horse disappearing among the mountains and sighed helplessly. He stood there for a long time without leaving. It was not until the sun fully rose that Zhang Cong was freed from this rather sad scene.
come out.
"Don't worry, Xiaohua, I will definitely bring you back safely."
Facing the horses that had already gone far away in front of him, Zhang Cong said these words softly. The voice floated forward with the wind, and disappeared in the morning breeze before it had gone far.
Zhang Cong turned around, unwilling to take another look at the scene in front of him. In an instant, an afterimage passed by, and the place where Zhang Cong was standing just now was empty.
