When I saw Zhou Cang again in the garrison camp, I could clearly see the joy on his face.
After receiving the invitation from Zhang Yan, Zhou Cang immediately said that he would go there on time. He also said that he would have a few more drinks with Zhang Yan's eldest brother.
"Sir, you may not know that Commander Shi has already broken through the barrier yesterday and officially entered the middle stage of Duanshan Realm. This level of cultivation is one of the best among the military in the country. Commander Shi will also be able to improve in the future.
possible."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan immediately understood the reason for Zhou Cang's happy face. The commander of the Eastern Army, Shi Xuan, recently broke through in seclusion, using the bone-strengthening pill presented by Zhou Cang. Now that Shi Xuan has successfully broken through, and the road ahead has been expanded again, this is definitely
A great happy event. It is also the same for Zhou Cang.
As the saying goes, one has to climb a high branch, and now Zhou Cang has climbed up. Shi Xuan will definitely not forget Zhou Cang's great help afterwards. Maybe he will not promote Zhou Cang with great fanfare, but he will definitely feed back the favor.
Similarly, Zhou Cang has a bright future in his official career, so naturally he cannot do without Zhang Yan and the Bone-Strengthening Pill that only Zhang Yan can refine.
"Congratulations to Marshal Shi, and congratulations to you too. The day when you can achieve success is just around the corner,"
"Hahaha, this is all thanks to my husband. Otherwise, how could I have such an opportunity? My husband is so kind and I won't thank you enough. Zhou Cang will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
"Don't! Your Excellency, one shop is already too much for the common people. How dare you ask Your Excellency to mention anything else? There will be a long time to come, Your Excellency, you don't have to be so fussy about it." Zhang Yan waved his hand in a hurry. There is a certain degree of caution in dealing with favors.
Too much is not enough. Although Zhou Cang benefited greatly, so did Zhang Yan. Therefore, one must grasp the right balance.
"The days ahead are long? Haha, that's a good statement! You really are a great talent, sir! But you don't have to be humble. Just like I said last time in Brother Zhang Shun's wood shop, once Shi Junshuai's breakthrough is successful, the matter of the Bone Strengthening Pill
It will definitely be brought to light, and this is the inevitable result. By then, you will definitely become a figure that attracts the attention of the whole country. If you are far away, I may not have the chance to express my gratitude to you."
Zhou Cang has put himself in an extremely low position because he is reluctant to let go of his friendship with Zhang Yan. He also hopes to continue their relationship in the future.
Zhang Yan shook his head and said: "Sir, the friendship between you and me will always be there, and the friendship will naturally last forever. But I'm afraid Shi Junshuai needs your help to pass a few words."
"Oh? Sir, if there is anything you need me to tell the military commander, please tell me." Zhou Cang was not surprised at all, and seemed to have been waiting for Zhang Yan here for a long time.
"Sir, ordinary people come from a humble background and were taught in the countryside. If they had not encountered an accident and suddenly understood the truth in their hearts, they would have died in the market and remained unknown all their lives. Although there are ideas to carry forward what they have learned, the way of alchemy is not as simple as miscellaneous knowledge.
It is a sect of its own and should not be spread to outsiders. If it is true as what the Lord said, Zhang Yan may have to go far away to find another livelihood."
Although Zhang Yan is not afraid of becoming famous, it also depends on the time. He has just entered the early stage of Dao Dan Realm, and he is far from being an extremely powerful person in the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom, let alone compared to the entire Huangtian Territory? So he can only hide for a day.
Of course, "going far away" is not a problem, but if he really becomes famous all over the world, Zhang Yan will have another strategy. It is just a last resort.
Zhou Cang was shocked when he heard Zhang Yan's words. He had thought that Zhang Yan would not like the Bone Strengthening Pill being made known to everyone, but he did not expect that Zhang Yan would react so violently. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Sir, please don't be impulsive.
Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding. Bone Strengthening Pill is of great significance to warriors, and who doesn't want to fully master it? It's okay in the dark. Once forced to the front desk, I'm afraid even if Commander Shi is willing to protect me, I won't be able to do it.
Are you going to arrest me?"
"this"
Zhou Cang had to admit that what Zhang Yan said was not impossible. Even if the culture of Nanyuan Kingdom rarely involved killing the goose to retrieve the eggs, what if it happened? The Bone Strengthening Pill was extraordinary. What if someone wanted to make someone stupid?
What should I do? What will Zhang Yan do then? It’s not just that he has to run away in advance, he will really go far away.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Cang nodded, and did not say anything more about the misunderstanding. Instead, he said bluntly: "Sir, do you want Commander Shi to suppress this matter? But this kind of thing can't be suppressed for a while, but it can't be suppressed for a lifetime.
One day it will be known. Maybe there will be another compromise."
After saying that, Zhou Cang felt a little worried and added: "Sir, please don't be nervous. This matter is not as good as what you said."
If Zhang Yan really ran away and couldn't be found, it would definitely be bad news for Zhou Cang. He would even suffer the consequences from above.
"I will send a message to the military commander. Brother Zhang Shun will be getting married in five days. We should have a reply by then. Sir, don't be anxious."
"Then the common people will wait for news from your lord."
The conversation between the two has come to an end at this point. Let's talk about it here for now. If there is anything to say in the future, we will have to wait for a response from Shi Xuan.
After that, Zhang Yan took out a small bottle of bone-strengthening pills that he brought and used them to offset the medicinal materials sent by Zhou Cang. There were two pills in total.
Sometimes he will give three pills. It depends on Zhang Yan's mood at the time. It will always fluctuate between two and three pills. What he gets in exchange is the continuous improvement of his proficiency in refining Biqing Dan. Although now he can only
After successfully completing the elixir formula of Bi Qing Dan, there is still a long way to go before it can be officially completed. Zhang Yan himself is not sure about this kind of thing that depends on luck. Maybe he can make it in the next batch, maybe he will need to refine it for ten more times.
The furnace is not certain. It is possible.
Unless it becomes one, it will gradually get better later, and then you will slowly feel the success rate, and then it will be constant at a ratio. Unless Zhang Yan's alchemy skills have greater improvement, it will increase again.
Zhou Cang naturally thanked him. At the same time, he also bluntly said that he was on a first-come-first-served basis, so he took the opportunity to stock up a little. As for the purpose of hoarding, Zhang Yan did not ask, and Zhou Cang would not tell himself.
"Sir, there is one more thing I want to know. Wu Yuan, the city administrator of Langyuan City, reported his illness early this morning and said that he would return to his hometown to recuperate. Once approved by the Beijiang County Sheriff's Office, Wu Yuan will be able to leave within three days at most.
Langyuan City. Sir, you have to wait for a suitable time to do this. After all, Wu Yuan is an important figure in the party. If there is any accident in the government office, it will be thoroughly investigated. But if there is another accident back home, it will be completely different.
"
Zhang Yan glanced at Zhou Cang, nodded but said nothing.
Afterwards, Zhang Yan stood up and said goodbye. Zhou Cang personally walked outside the camp before waving goodbye.
Zhang Yan was not too surprised on the way back. Zhou Cang is not a fool. He has been protecting the Zhang family from the beginning. Naturally, there are many strange things that cannot be hidden from his eyes. People don’t tell them, they just pretend to be confused. Especially Wu Qingling’s death.
After that, Zhou Cang didn't even mention it. Now he suddenly reminded Zhang Yan that he was also giving Zhang Yan a chance. But he didn't know that this matter was not as simple as Wu Yuan being sick, but it fell into Zhang Yan's ears.
It has another meaning: Wu Yuan wants to run away!
